Heaven-relying Sword And Dragon-slaying Sabre

"Mister Lu," Zhao Min asked, "What is inside Ku Dashi's bundle?"

"Uh … uh … It's Ku Dashi's bedding," Lu Zhangke stammered.

"Bedding?" Zhao Min was surprised, "Why is Ku Dashi bringing his bedding along?" she asked. She chuckled and said, "Ku Dashi thinks I am too dumb that he is not willing to take me as his disciple; and now he has to carry his own bedding?"

Fan Yao shook his head; his right hand moved around as if he was making some hand signals, while in his heart he was thinking, "Let Lu Zhangke fabricates all kind of lies. I am a mute, I might as well take advantage of it."

Zhao Min was very pleased; she smiled and said, "Actually I was going to ask Mr. Lu and Mr. He to personally guard the prisoners, but I was afraid I might be condescending toward people of your position, so I was uncomfortable in asking you. Now that the three of you are concerned about me, I couldn't ask any better. With Mr. Lu and Mr. He guarding in here, I am sure those 'devil head' won't be able to do anything; so I don't need to go up the pagoda to take a look. Ku Dashi, please come with me." While saying that she held out her hand to pull Fan Yao's hand.

Fan Yao had no choice; he thought that even if he exposed Lu Zhangke right now, first, it would not do him any good, second, Concubine Han was obviously on his own back. He might not necessarily able to convince Zhao Min. Hence he handed over the big bundle to Lu Zhangke.

Lu Zhangke held out his hands to receive the bundle and said, "Ku Dashi, I will be waiting for you on this pagoda."

"Shifu," Wuwang Apu said, "Let disciple carry the bedding."

"No need," Lu Zhangke laughed, "This is Ku Dashi's belonging, I want to win his heart, so I must carry this bedding myself."

Fan Yao grinned widely, he stretched out his hand to slap the bundle, right on Concubine Han's buttocks. Luckily her mute acupoint was sealed; otherwise she would cry out in shock. But Lu Zhangke was scared out of his wits; his countenance paled. Without delay he bowed toward Zhao Min and carrying Concubine Han on his back he hurriedly entered the pagoda. His mind had already cooked up a plan; as soon as he entered the pagoda, he would wrap a cotton quilt inside the blanket. If Ku Toutuo told Zhao Min about him, he would deny any knowledge of Concubine Han.
