The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 78 The place that eats people
"Miss, be careful!"

Baicao screamed and wanted to step forward to help, but Xu Qingluo swept her behind her and shouted in a low voice: "Stay away, I have a solution."

Baicao subconsciously obeyed Xu Qingluo's order, and took several steps back.

As he was so angry that he lost his mind and directly arrested people before recovering, the followers behind him rushed towards Xu Qingluo without any hesitation.

Xu Qingluo had ice in his eyes, and his fingertips had already grasped the medicine bag in his sleeve.

Facing several big men who were rushing towards him fiercely, Xu Qingluo didn't seem a little scared, he could even be called confident and calm.

She didn't feel confident because she had self-defense medicine in her hands, and she didn't feel afraid at all.

But this scene was originally caused by her on purpose.

To be honest, it's not that she can't bear Fu Mingqian for a while, it's just a few threatening words, which are incomparable to what she heard before, but she can't just let Fumingqian say harsh words and leave, Fuming In the past, it was a poisonous snake hiding in the dark and waiting to be addicted to people at any time. Instead of waiting for the superficially friendly and secretly vicious revenge before Fuming, it is better to be here at this moment, not long after Lang Cheng left, and asked Wuzhou Everyone in the city took care of her, and when she was alone with Fu's family at the gate of the city, Ji Fuming hit her hard and let him attack her in front of everyone, directly tearing his face.

Only by letting everyone know about the conflict between her Xu Qingluo and Fu's family, and only by letting a few big men deal with her in public before letting people see Fuming, can she survive in the relationship with Fu's family after Lang Sheng left. Occupy more upper hand, will not be completely passive.

Seeing that a man's hand was about to catch her arrow, Xu Qingluo didn't move the paper bag in his sleeve, but took a step back, dodging left and right, looking a little embarrassed.

"City Master Fu, I know your daughter likes General Lang, but it's a pity that the general has only a few acquaintances with Gui Qianjin, and she never pretends to be false. Injury, in the final analysis, is that the noble daughter does not know her own self-respect, how can she blame me, the general's fiancée, for her mistakes!"

Xu Qingluo planned to suffer some minor injuries. When people around gradually noticed this direction and came towards this direction, it would not be an exaggeration for her to use her own medicine to deal with the first person who started the attack. Self-defense is not ?
While dodging, while deliberately telling the 'truth'.

Although this truth is not so true, such as how ruthless Fu Yingying she cleaned up, but 80.00% of it is true.

"Shut up, what are you, how can my daughter argue with you, waste, you can't even catch a woman! Do you still want to work by my side!"

Before Fuming, he also noticed that many people came here, and some people talked and pointed out because of Xu Qingluo's shouting, and his complexion was a little swollen. He naturally knew that he had done something wrong and shouldn't directly attack Xu Qingluo in public. , but let him let go at this time, he couldn't swallow it even more!

Hearing the low-pitched roar full of rage before Fuming, the servants who had missed several times and failed to catch Xu Qingluo looked at each other with viciousness in their eyes. Surrounded by dodging points, and then slapped Xu Qingluo's face hard with a slap as big as a cattail fan.

This is to show their 'hard work' before Fuming.

If the slap is right now, even if Xu Qingluo doesn't faint, he will still bear marks on his face for several days. If he hits someone, he doesn't hit his face. It's still a few big men surrounding a woman and hitting her face. ridicule.

Xu Qingluo heard the louder discussions around her, and the corner of her lips curled into a sneer, it's time.

She spotted a certain direction, and Xu Qingluo was planning to pounce on it without any seriousness——

"City Master Fu, the general left on the front foot, and you came to help him teach his family a lesson on the back foot, what a great prestige!"

The man's elegant voice rang in his ears, a pale, bloodless, thin and bony palm just supported Xu Qingluo's elbow, and the man's body was barely standing in the position where she was about to fall, after all, Xu Qingluo couldn't just pass him and fall to the ground.

It was Gong Ziyan who came here. Although he is still smiling now, his eyes are full of coldness, which makes Fuming, who wants to ask his teacher, a little startled. The coldness in those eyes seems to be born in the coldest place. Some kind of vicious creature, even he was subconsciously afraid of it for a moment.

The next moment before he regained consciousness, he looked at Xu Qingluo who was supported by Gong Ziyan, and those servants who stood aside for a while and looked at him at a loss: "Stand back!"

Gritting his teeth, he said before Fuming that he could treat Xu Qingluo impulsively, and he could temporarily ignore the opinions and ideas of those untouchables, but he could not ignore Gong Ziyan's opinion.

The big families of Wuzhou City are not like-minded good friends, each has its own plans, especially in the past few years because the Fu family got the position of the city lord before Fu Ming and acted domineeringly and felt that they were overwhelming the other big families, which led to a relationship with the other big families. The relationship between the several big families is tense, and Fujia has come to his senses after suffering a lot recently, and is already slowly adjusting his strategy.

If it weren't for this, it wouldn't be so impatient to climb up to Langcheng before Fuming. Gong Ziyan is the most outstanding young generation of the Gongzi family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the person in power. Seeing Gongzi Yan in this posture It is to take care of Xu Qingluo's affairs, even if he gritted his teeth in hatred, he had to give in temporarily before recovering: "Young Master Yan, I don't know when General He Lang has such a good relationship with you able to defend like that."

He felt that Gong Ziyan must have some kind of plan, for example, he wanted to use Xu Qingluo to get in touch with Lang Sheng. The son's family had already had a dirty relationship with the Fu family, so he couldn't have anything to do with Lang Sheng, let alone the son's family. !
Several servants retreated, but Xu Qingluo tried to withdraw his hand from Gongzi Yan's but failed. This man seemed sick and weak, but it was indeed a bit unusual. Know how to be different.

"do not move."

Gongziyan whispered in her ear, and the hot air sprayed into Xu Qingluo's ears. The girl subconsciously felt uncomfortable and moved to the side. This time she slipped out of her hand smoothly, and took two steps back to the side of Gongziyan. There was no need at all. The meaning of the other party's protection.

"Young Master Yan seems to be acting like a good person. The old man saw that the girl from the Xu family didn't appreciate your hero's rescue of the beauty at all. If General Lang knew about it, he probably wouldn't give you any rewards."

Before regaining consciousness, he naturally took into account the actions between Xu Qingluo and Gong Ziyan, and then sneered, looking at Gong Ziyan as if he was looking at a fool who wasted his efforts.

Gong Ziyan looked at Xu Qingluo's avoidance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he held Xu Qingluo's fingertips and rubbed them secretly twice, but he smiled gracefully.

"City Master Fu misunderstood, although General Lang also entrusted him before he left, the reason why I am willing to protect Miss Xu is because Miss Xu is not only a commoner who migrated from Huai County, but also a woman whom the Holy Majesty personally ordered to praise, Whether it's because of His Majesty's will to treat the people of Huai County kindly, or His Majesty's encouragement to Miss Xu, everyone in Wuzhou City should treat Miss Xu with some respect, what do you think, City Master?"

Gong Ziyan's voice was neither fast nor slow, like a beautiful song flowing slowly, more like a piece of warm wind blowing slowly, but the sharpness of his words made Fuming Qian's eyes widen for a long time: " Mr. Yan is indeed a capable person who understands the holy will. Just now, the old man just wanted to talk to Miss Xu, but Mr. Yan misunderstood him. Naturally, the old man absolutely obeyed His Majesty's will. As a citizen of Huai County, Mrs. Xu, I just I want to know what his needs are, since there is someone like Mr. Yan who is born with seven apertures and exquisite hearts, I should not be needed anymore, let's go!"

Turn around and leave, staying here is just asking for humiliation.

Gong Ziyan, Xu Qingluo, before Fuming, his back to people's eyes exuded insidiousness and calculations, it seems that it is really necessary to make a new plan, at least Gong Ziyan is too big a variable.

So what if Lang Sheng left?Just watching the farewell between Lang Sheng and Xu Qingluo at the gate of the city just now, before he recovered, he knew that Lang Sheng really took Xu Qingluo in his heart, as long as Xu Qingluo was still in Wuzhou City for a day, he would always To be able to hold this little girl in the palm of my hand, and then let Lang Sheng turn around and beg him!

-

"Thank you, Young Master Yan, for saving me."

Xu Qingluo watched Fu Mingqian and his servants leave, feeling a little pity in his heart, but there was no change on his face, and he turned around to thank Gong Ziyan, who seemed extremely sincere.

"Since Brother Lang entrusted me, it's no problem to save Ms. Xu once or twice, let alone—"

Gong Ziyan smiled and stretched out his hand, the medicine bag in his palm was very familiar, it was clearly——

Xu Qingluo's eyes widened slightly, the man suddenly approached her body, and a strong smell of medicine rushed over, the girl had no time to retreat, because the man's face in the pupils was distorted because he was too close and too anxious.

The smell of medicine on his body mixed with the faint smell of medicine on her body. Young Master Yan smelled the faint smell of medicine on the girl's body, and for the first time found that this smell was not so disgusting.

"What's more, Ms. Xu is very powerful. I don't need to save you at all. Just now, I intervene a little bit more. It's not so much saving the lady, as it is saving the Fucheng Lord and his party in your hands."

Young Master Yan's eyebrows and eyes were curved with a smile, and he handed the medicine bag to Xu Qingluo.

Xu Qingluo stared at him, and then quickly took out the pack of medicine powder from the opponent's palm. She was so vigilant, but he took away the medicine powder next to her body without realizing it. This young master Yan is really better than her. It's even more powerful than imagined.

"It is always the credit of Mr. Yan that the problem can be solved without conflict. It should be fine now, and the little girl will leave first."

Xu Qingluo changed hands and put the medicine bag back into his sleeve, leaned over to Young Master Yan, called Baicao who had been fooled by this series of changes, turned around and left.

Gong Ziyan looked at the back of Xu Qingluo leaving without hesitation with Baicao, and gently covered his lips with his fan, but this time there was no smile on the corner of his lips. After a long time, the man's soft voice was snowing in front of the city gate. A voice came from the ground: "She is always so unexpected, no wonder—"

No wonder, Gong Ziyan didn't say anything, Chitose was standing behind him at some point, and this reckless boy had a calm face at the moment, he didn't answer the man's words, just put the white fox fur cloak on his arm Take it off, and gently put it on the man's body: "Young master, it's very cold, you should pay attention to your body."

"I know, I know."

Gongzi Yan chuckled: "Young steward, that is to say, I can stand you."

He lightly tapped Chitose's head with a fan, and after the boy's calm expression was replaced by anger, his smile became more and more beautiful.

-

"Miss, it was really dangerous just now. Fortunately, Mr. Yan took the shot. Otherwise, what if you are caught or injured by someone from the Fu family? Miss, or else you should take a few more servants with you next time you go out." It’s just that my words are just cumbersome and won’t help you.”

Baicao was rejoicing along the way while persuading Xu Qingluo, completely forgetting about what Xu Qingluo caused, and she would be implicated if she was not careful there.

Xu Qingluo took out the packet of medicine powder from his sleeve: "Is your young lady the one who plays tricks?"

"Smell it."

Pass the medicine bag to Baicao: "Don't open it."

Baicao put the medicine bag to the nose in doubt, and the next moment her eyes were blurred, her head was dizzy, and she couldn't help but want to sleep.

The medicine bag almost fell from his hand.

A certain acupuncture point on her hand was lightly pinched, and she only felt a slight pain there. Baicao woke up, looked at Xu Qingluo and opened her mouth wide: "Miss, is this a drug? Why is it so powerful?"

While talking, Baicao exclaimed and wanted to return the medicine bag to Xu Qingluo.

"It's for you. Wear it on your body for self-defense. If you accidentally get smoked yourself, remember to pinch the degree I pinched your palm just now to wake up."

Xu Qingluo was useless, and told Baicao that what happened just now made her reflect on it. Baicao and other people with no self-protection power are by her side. If she wants to deal with someone before provoking someone, it is best to give them Something for self defense is best.

"But what about you, Miss?"

"Me? I'm not such a drug that wakes up when I'm pinched."

Xu Qingluo smiled generously, her eyes full of confidence, even if Baicao, the so-called medicine that wakes up at the pinch, would not wake up if she didn't find the specific acupoint, and even if she inhaled too much, she would fall asleep directly.

There is no need to tell Baicao about these things, the little girl is soft-hearted and easy to be deceived, if she knew it, she might not dare to use it.

-

When Xu Qingluo and Baicao returned to Xu's house, as soon as they entered the inner courtyard, they saw Xu Liang, who was wearing a purple cotton robe, standing motionless in the middle of the courtyard. I don't know what he was thinking about, Xu Liang, who was accompanied by two servants. An angry and aggrieved expression on his face.

It wasn't until Xu Qingluo came to the front, and the two servants kept calling for the miss, that Xu Liang saw her. At that moment, his expression was embarrassing, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Laoer."

"Father, didn't you say that you want to bring Hu's mother and son into the mansion? Why are you still here? Could it be that someone took it?"

Xu Qingluo looked around, but she knew something was wrong from the expressions of the two servants beside Xu Liang.

"Luo'er, or we'll wait—"

Xu Liang was a little pitiful, he didn't seem to be picking up the legendary mother and child in the outer room, but rather as if he was going to pick up some particularly frightening monster and beast.

"Father, when did you say you're going to bring Hu's mother and son in?"

Xu Qingluo interrupted Xu Liang, Xu Liang is a good person, but sometimes he is extremely indecisive, soft-eared, and vacillating. If he doesn't force him, Xu Qingluo is worried that the old grandmother in Xu's family will come. After that, the Hu family's mother and son would not be able to enter the Xu family's gate, and she had no doubt that her grandmother would stand up for the mother and son.

Taking advantage of her access to the Xu Mansion now, the Hu family is considered to be in her palm. What she wants to do depends on whether she agrees or not, so what should be forced must be forced.

Xu Liang was speechless for a while, unable to speak.

"Miss, just to let you know, it's not that the master didn't go to pick up the Hu family's mother and son, it's really that, that woman is too arrogant! He insisted that the Xu family's eight sedan chairmen should carry her into the mansion from the main gate of the Xu family's house. And he also said that when the old lady comes back, she will bring the child to visit the old lady in person, and then she will be able to enter the door in a legitimate way."

The boy on Xu Liang's left gritted his teeth angrily, thinking of a woman from Hu's family background, a woman who didn't know how to behave, felt angry with the arrogant appearance of shouting at them.

"That's right, the master has never been subjected to this. Such a person entering the mansion simply makes the house uneasy. Miss, don't force the master."

The boy on the right also advised.

Xu Liang heard the high-pitched voices of the two servants around him, looked at Xu Qingluo, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't hold back: "Luo'er, even if a woman like that is allowed to enter the door quietly, she is already beyond my reach." I imagined it, how could I have imagined that she would actually want to be officially carried into Xu's house in such a wishful thinking, or eight sedan chairs, this kind of woman makes me feel uncomfortable just by looking at her!"

Xu Qingluo looked at Xu Liang's extremely depressed expression, looked at the melancholy in his eyes, subconsciously withdrew the persuasive words that came to his lips, she wanted to take Hu's mother and son into the mansion to protect their parents, but Xu Liang It was not what she wanted to be so uncomfortable.

Stretching out his hand, he took Xu Liang's arm, and gently dropped his hand on the other's shoulder: "Father, since you don't want her to enter the house so much, then don't take her."

"But didn't you say that the people outside are terrible and your grandmother's—"

Xu Liang's words were cut off by Xu Qingluo, the girl smiled, and her beautiful face was full of moving brilliance: "So what?"

"It's just a little more troublesome than I originally thought, but if it's really according to that Hu's request, I would rather be ten times more troublesome. Since that Hu doesn't cherish this only opportunity to enter Xu's mansion, then she won't even think about crossing over in the future." Step into the door of Xu's house!"

Xu Qingluo's eyes were full of coldness, since Mrs. Hu wanted to wait for the old lady, let her wait, and raised her head to ask the surprised Mrs. Xu Liang where she was and how long she would be back.

The boy came into the yard and announced: "Master, Miss, the old lady has sent someone to deliver the letter."

The boy had a troubled expression on his face.

"Say."

Compared with Xu Liang's sudden nervousness and surprise when he heard the news of his mother, Xu Qingluo was cold in his heart. Seeing the servant's appearance, this letter was not easy. She took a step forward without haste, facing The boy signaled.

"The old lady and her party are now parked near the Anshun bridge. They say they can't move forward because of the exhaustion of the boat and the car, so let the lady pick them up in person."

The boy hesitated for a moment, then said.

Even those who are just newcomers to Wuzhou City know what Anshun Bridge is, let alone Xu Liang and Xu Qingluo who have lived here for many years.

For a moment, Xu Liang's complexion was a little ugly: "How can the car and horse be stopped in that place, doesn't the old lady know—"

He saw that Xu Qing fell aside, swallowing the rest of the words. The old lady is an elder, and the elders need to keep things secret.

"Master, the old lady insisted on staying there. She was very tired and did not want to move."

The boy grimaced.

"The madam is sick in bed and unconscious, unable to meet the old madam, Luo'er, you watch at home, I will go in person."

Before Xu Liang's decision was finished, Xu Qingluo interrupted him: "Father, have you forgotten that you still need to be responsible for the people in Huai County? They were tired all the way with us, and many of them were in poor health. I need you to go to see a doctor, although my daughter's medical skills are good, but she is not suitable for showing her face, father, you can't leave those Huai County people who are waiting for you to trust you, can you?"

How could she let Xu Liang go there? Besides, since the old lady asked Xu's mother to go there by name, even if Xu's mother had no way to go, it would be useless for Xu Liang to go, and it would only arouse the older and more paranoid Due to the temperament of the old lady, she is looking for a lot of things: "I just have nothing to do now, and I am the granddaughter of the old lady. It is time to be filial. Let my daughter pick up grandmother and her party."

Xu Qingluo made a faint sound, but it was an unquestionable decision.

Xu Liang wanted to persuade him again, but Xu Qingluo took his hand: "Mother always needs you to take care of me. If she wakes up and can't see you, I'm worried that Mother's mood will be even more melancholy, no Good for physical recovery.”

For Xu Liang, nothing is more important than Xu's mother's body. He didn't say anything for a while, but just looked at Xu Qingluo: "Luo'er, thank you for your hard work."

-

Xu Qingluo thought that he had convinced Xu Liang, and took a few servants and maidservants in the carriage to set off early the next morning. But just now, before getting into the carriage, Xu Liang ran out to stop him.

"Luo'er, no, I thought about it carefully, this trip is the most suitable for me, but you don't know about the Anshun Bridge, it is located in a rugged valley, and most of all there are many bandits and bandits. I don’t know why your grandmother chose to settle in that kind of place this time, but no matter what, I can’t let you, a weak woman, go there!”

Xu Liang was about to reach out and climb onto the carriage as soon as he spoke, he was rarely so resolute and decisive.

Seeing Xu Liang struggling to climb onto the carriage, Xu Qingluo felt a little funny for a moment, and hurriedly stopped him: "Father, do you really think I'm a weak woman? And do you think I went alone? Could it be that these servants and maids are all Could it be that the decoration is not working?"

Facing the smiling face of his daughter, Xu Liang opened his mouth, but he couldn't utter the words "weak woman" against his conscience.

Compared with him as a father, Xu Qingluo is much better, whether it is courage, skill, adaptability, self-protection ability.

"In short, I can't let you take risks. I didn't fall asleep all night. If your mother wakes up and finds out that I let you go like this, she will scold me to death! The people of Huai County should also be able to understand a father's concern for his daughter , if you can’t even protect your daughter, how can you save people.”

Xu Liang pulled the shaft of the carriage, looking a bit shameless.

Xu Qingluo said softly in his heart: "Father, can you trust your daughter? Believe that I can handle it well, bring the old lady back safely, and trust that I can protect myself well"

Xu Qingluo hadn't acted like a baby with Xu Liang in such a soft tone for a long time. Before Xu Liang could react, his hand had already let go of the shaft.

"Walk."

Xu Qingluo frowned, and gave an order, and the carriage that was just in front of Xu Liang had already rushed a long way.

"Luo'er, Luo'er!"

Xu Liang chased after a few steps, feeling extremely helpless, he turned his head and yelled at the servants who were still in a daze and were left on their feet and walking on their way: "What are you still doing there, hurry up and protect the young lady!"

Listening to Xu Liang's roar behind him, Xu Qingluo laughed out loud. Such a kind father really needs to be well protected, and he cannot be allowed to go to places like Anshun Bridge that cannibalize people.
