Forced to be a villain, my righteousness comes first

Chapter 21

The so-called spring night is bitter, short days are high, and it will not be a cow or a horse from now on.

This was Li Xing's dream. It's a pity that he couldn't leave Langlang Mountain in his previous life. This life is still long!

At this moment, Li Xing was sitting in the lobby of the inn with a feeling of indignation, and drank three bowls of good tea in a row, and the melon seed shells knocked off almost covered the table.

Anyone who has been put on the sidelines and waited for more than an hour in the midst of boredom, his expression will not be too happy!
At this moment, Li Xing finally waited for the opening of Tianzi No. [-] room. The maid who had been accompanying Steward Wang walked out of the door, glanced around, and saw Li Xing downstairs who had stood up and waved his arms vigorously. .

Gently nodded, indicating that Li Xing can go upstairs.

Only then did Li Xing walk up to the second floor with a complex expression of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

When will I be able to live such an enjoyable life?

Li Xing's envy is beyond words.

Walking into private room No. [-], Steward Wang was yawning, and finished grooming under the service of another personal maid.

Dressed in a brocade robe, he sat upright and rinsed his mouth with morning tea, and then spit the tea foam into the copper basin in the hand of the maid.

And the table in front of him was already filled with a hearty breakfast, and he hadn't moved his chopsticks yet!
Li Xing was not polite to him, and with a trace of indignation, he sat down across the table from him.

The maid was very discerning, and quickly added a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Li Xing.

This is not bad, the food in front of Li Xing instantly burned Li Xing's anger, and he started it without waiting for Butler Wang to speak.

Li Xing was really hungry. After completing the task last night, he and the two city guards were left in the small courtyard, taking turns to watch out for possible dangers around them.

Even the wound on his hand was simply bandaged up with the help of the city guard.

In the end, I was so sleepy that I had to sleep in a corner with my clothes on for the whole night.He wasn't woken up until the cock crowed and the dog barked in the morning. At this moment, he felt that half of his body had been stiff from sleep.

Meng Shichang and his party did not return all night, nor did they send back any orders. Fortunately, no other accidents happened.

But thinking about what happened last night, Li Xing felt that he should take the initiative to say hello to his employer, so he bid farewell to the two city guards who had been dedicated to their duties and hadn't slept all night, and rushed to the inn with hunger and yawning. shut out.

Thinking of this, Li Xing speeded up his action of plundering breakfast, and he devoured all kinds of pastries.

This shape fell into Wang Butler's eyes, and he smiled casually.

"Young Master Li has a real temperament!"

"So early in the morning, did Mr. Li bring me any good news?"

Steward Wang knew what Li Xing and the others did last night, so he naturally felt that something would be gained at this moment.

Li Xing struggled to spit out a few words in his stuffed mouth.

"It's not a golden swallow, it's a foreign race."

Originally, Wang Butler was expected to be quite disappointed by this, but he didn't expect that the word "foreign race" was immediately startled, and Wang Butler's complexion changed drastically.

Instantly pushed away the maid serving at the side, stood up, no longer calm and calm demeanor.

A stride approached Li Xing, looked straight into Li Xing's eyes, and he reconfirmed word by word: "You mean 'foreign race'?"

Li Xing stared blankly at Steward Wang, and was taken aback by his strange movements. His mouth full of food blocked his neck, his face twisted and he almost suffocated. Fortunately, the tea brought by the maid saved his life.

"It's a foreign race! Five of them are all dead!" Li Xing patted his chest and took a while to catch his breath. "The corpses have been sent to the commander's mansion by Chief Meng Shi."

In Li Xing's view, this news that was irrelevant to Butler Wang's main concern fell into Butler Wang's ears, but he was startled to fidget, walking back and forth in the room like ants on a hot pot.

The hands are either holding the head, or stroking the beard, or constantly beating each other in front of the body, or behind the back. There are so many movements that make people feel that these hands have no place to rest at this moment.

"Are you sure it's a foreign race?"

After a while, he was still worried, and turned around to ask Li Xing again.But before Li Xing could answer, he shook his head again.

"This Chief Meng Shi is a veteran who participated in the last pioneering war, it is impossible to admit that he is wrong!"

"How can this be good?"

It can be seen that Steward Wang has the intention to retire.

"No, I'm going to see Mrs. Lan immediately!"

"Quick, change my clothes!"

With that said, Steward Wang made arrangements immediately.

The maid immediately brought Steward Wang's brocade suit for meeting the distinguished guests, and wanted to change it for him. The clothes were half worn, but Steward Wang waved his hand suddenly.

"and many more!"

He walked to the window and looked around at the scene. The sun was shining gently on the ground, and the warblers were flying and the grass was growing.The streets are bustling with people coming and going, and the Lan Mansion is still as far as the eye can see, and the entire Ten Mile City still looks like singing and dancing.

"wrong!"

Steward Wang suddenly said to himself, "Maybe I'm thinking too much!"

He stared quietly at the gate of Lan Mansion for a while, then turned his head and said to Li Xing
"Young Master Li! After the battle last night, the city guards should no longer be able to cooperate with your actions!"

"Fortunately, I'm sure that Jin Yanzi has received the news twice! Our goal has been achieved!"

"I don't know if I can take the liberty of asking you for another favor?"

The task is over, the relationship is good, I can collect the money first!

One more favor, yes!Li Xing nodded hurriedly.

I didn't talk about money first, how vulgar to talk about money!
Li Xing knew that Steward Wang would offer a bargaining chip for his mission that he could not refuse.

Sure enough, Steward Wang continued, "I would like to ask you to go to Miss Lan's side and act as her bodyguard temporarily until we leave or Jin Yanzi is caught!"

This... Li Xin was stunned for a moment, it's not impossible!
Steward Wang was very thoughtful, and continued: "As your great disciple, I believe that Mr. Lan will not refuse!"

"You know Miss Lan is proficient in martial arts, right?"

Li Xing asked suddenly. He vaguely felt that there was something wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.

Steward Wang nodded, he naturally has a clear grasp of this kind of thing.

"Miss Lan is a woman who does not give way to her husband. She has practiced family martial arts since she was a child, and she is also a god!"

"To tell the truth, Jin Yanzi is in the realm of the gods, and Miss Lan's martial arts are not inferior to mine..."

Li Xing blinked, looking helpless.

"I'm afraid of failing your great trust!"

Although he thought this matter was very simple, Li Xing still subconsciously wanted to make things more difficult.

"Young Master, you are self-effacing. Who doesn't know that the beauty of the Mirror Art is that the cicadas wake up before the autumn wind blows. A little bit of clarity is the best at destroying falsehoods and eradicating evil."

"With you by Miss Lan's side, everything will be safe."

Are you raising me so high?

Li Xing is not surprised that the characteristics of Ming Jing Gong are known to others.

This Steward Wang has an appearance of profound knowledge, and he is a master of the Mingshen Realm. It is not surprising that he knows some of these things...

"But Miss Lan..."

Li Xing wanted to refuse again, but Steward Wang obviously saw Li Xing's willingness to refuse.

"2000 taels."

Butler Wang offered his price.

The rich and powerful appearance shocked Li Xing, and he held back what he was going to say next. He was very satisfied with this price.

But Steward Wang was a little anxious, seeing that Li Xing didn't answer right away.

Butler Wang continued to increase the price: "3000 taels!"

"Just leave it to me!"

Li Xing jumped up from the seat, stepped to Wang Butler's side, and held Wang Butler's hand affectionately.

"Don't worry, whoever wants to hurt Miss Lan has to step over my dead body."
