Chapter 82 Targeted by a Witch, and Trying to Run Away?
The next morning.
A row of heads was hung at the entrance of the county government office.
These heads belonged to high-ranking figures in the Blackwater Gang, with Zhu Shunshui at the head. Notices were posted around the area, and the people gathered around to watch.
The "old man" arranged by Yang Yan, with a smile, stroked his beard and read the notice to the people.
"Let the elders of Jingzhou bear witness:"
Last night at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), Zhu Shunshui, a bandit leader from the Black Waterway, led over a thousand bandits in a surprise attack on Jiangling Wharf, burning official ships, causing chaos among the people, looting the city, and poisoning Jingzhou and Xiangyang.
Fortunately, there was the Martial Saint's direct descendant and the deputy master of the Dragon Guard Manor, the great hero Xu Qingya, who wielded the Green Dragon Blade to defend against the enemy by the river and personally led the righteous warriors of Jingxiang to bravely fight against the river bandits!
Master Xu slew the bandit leader with three strikes on the battlefield:
With a single, unparalleled strike, he cleaved through the bandits' ranks, impervious to water and fire.
Two swords shook the nation, shattered the enemy's courage, and could split rocks and break gold.
Three swords, each gleaming like a crescent moon, slay the traitor Zhu!
With the bandit leader executed, the remaining thieves lost their courage, and the Blackwater Gang collapsed due to infighting. The ringleaders, including Yong Xiyu, were all captured alive. Those who resisted were executed, and those who surrendered were detained and awaiting trial.
This battle was a great victory, and the people can rest assured!
Righteous deeds bring peace of mind to the people:
First, in this battle, we received the united efforts of the lay disciples of Wudang, the four great heroes of Luohua Liushui, the Bagua Daomen, the Tiezhaomen, and other martial arts practitioners in Jingxiang to protect our hometown.
Second, the families of fallen heroes will receive generous compensation, and the government will provide medicine to the wounded until they recover.
Third, all those who assist in the battle will be recorded for military merit, and rewards will be given according to their merits. The imperial court's honors will be delivered soon, so please wait respectfully.
From this day forward, the city gates are wide open, and the city is bustling as usual. The government has quelled the remaining bandits and strengthened the river defenses. We hope that the people will live and work in peace and happiness, and enjoy long and prosperous lives.
May the righteous spirit of the Martial Saint live on forever in Jingchu.
As soon as "Old Master Passerby" finished reading the notice, the "King of Comedy" arranged by Yin Yewang took the lead in praising it!
"Thank God! The commotion last night, the firelight turned half the sky red! I was huddled in the boat, listening to the shouts of battle, my heart was in my throat!"
"Who says otherwise! The ships from the Blackwater Channel were pressing in like a mountain! I grabbed a sledgehammer, trying to protect the shop with my old bones! But guess what?"
"Old Li, tell me quickly! What happened next?"
Did Master Xu make a move?
The notice said he had beheaded the bandit leader!
"Hey! That scene—cough cough—I saw Master Xu, wearing armor and carrying an 81-pound Green Dragon Crescent Blade, standing on the dock like a god descending to earth! That Zhu the Great King—bah! That old bandit Zhu Shunshui, he looks pretty intimidating, but in front of Master Xu, he's like a clawless crab! He was chopped down in three strikes!"
Master Xu used only three strikes!
The first strike is called "Peerless," and with a whoosh, it splits water and fire apart, even more powerful than a god!
The second strike was called "Shaking the Nation," which directly smashed the old demon to his knees, shattering his chin!
The third strike wasn't even a proper move; it was just a casual slash, and Zhu Shunshui's head flew into the air with a whoosh, spraying blood everywhere—"
"My goodness! This is divine skill passed down from the Martial Saint! He beheaded Zhu the Great King of the Blackwater Channel in just three strikes! It's easier than chopping melons and vegetables!"
"Amitabha! He's truly a living Bodhisattva reincarnated to save us from suffering! If it weren't for Hero Xu, we ordinary folks would have suffered terribly last night! Look at the firearms that old devil threw, how terrifying they were—"
"I used to think it was an exaggeration when storytellers told tales of Guan Yu warming wine before beheading Hua Xiong and passing five passes and slaying six generals. But after reading Master Xu's report last night—no, I mean, after hearing this battle report this morning—I'm convinced! This is a true hero!"
"Master Xu is young, handsome, and skilled. Is he married yet? I wonder which lucky girl is fortunate enough to marry him; it's truly enviable!"
"I heard that during last night's battle against the river bandits, Master Xu was aided by two beautiful women. Master Xu made a vow of eternal love before the battle—I'm not exaggerating—this was said by Master Zhao of the Tai Chi School. Master Zhao and Master Xu are sworn brothers. Would Master Zhao lie?"
"Did Master Zhao say which family those two beauties belong to? Let us see them!"
"I don't know that—I was delivering fish to Master Zhao's house, that's all I heard!"
"Could you go deliver a few more fish?"
"All the fish are sold out!"
"Then why don't you hurry up and cast your net!"
It must be said that Yin Yewang is extremely perceptive in some aspects. Recently, he has been speaking recklessly and offending his young mistress. If Yin Susu goes home to complain, given Yin Tianzheng's temper, breaking ten rattan whips would be the least he could do, and he might even break his legs.
How can I make Yin Susu happy?
Of course, you should cater to their preferences!
These "sycophantic kings" seem to be praising Xu Qingya's bravery, chivalry, and superb martial arts skills, but in reality, they quickly shift the topic to "whether he has a wife" and drag Zhao Banshan into the fray, implying that Xu Qingya does have a wife.
Hundreds of martial arts practitioners from Jingzhou and Xiangyang witnessed this event.
Before the war, they vowed to stay together for three lifetimes, until their hair turned white.
Lord Guan was a man of his word, and as a descendant of the Martial Saint, he couldn't go back on his word, could he?
No matter what kind of queen or goddess doctor you are, they've all fallen behind now. My sister must be happy, right?
Thinking of this, Yin Yewang scratched his chin, feeling proud of his own intelligence. He thought to himself that the matter in Jiangling was over, and he should take a long vacation and relax for a few days!
Which girls should I go to relax with?
Yin Yewang wandered aimlessly through the streets, overhearing people discussing who Xu Qingya's two confidantes were. He felt a surge of relief—his sister shouldn't be angry anymore, right? Was he safe this time?
After wandering around for a while, Yin Yewang saw a bright and cheerful young girl dressed in Miao ethnic clothing, carrying a flower basket filled with medicinal herbs.
Yin Yewang straightened his clothes and tossed a silver ingot to the flower basket: "Miss, I'll take all your medicinal herbs. If you have any more, I'll take them too. How about having a couple of drinks with me?"
The young woman smiled sweetly: "Sir, if you want to drink and have fun, go to a brothel. I sell medicinal herbs!"
Yin Yewang sneered, "Selling medicinal herbs? It's thousands of miles from Miao territory to Jingzhou, passing through countless treacherous mountains and rivers. How could an ordinary Miao girl be carrying a basket of medicinal herbs to sell in Jingzhou?"
The young woman laughed and said, "I've come to visit relatives. I gathered the medicinal herbs outside the city. Sir, are you a constable from the imperial court? What business is it of yours how I got here!"
Yin Yewang pointed to the restaurant next door: "I'm not a constable of the imperial court, and I don't care how you came from Miao territory to Jingzhou. I just want to offer you a drink. Please don't refuse, otherwise—hehe!"
The girl raised an eyebrow: "Otherwise what? Does the young master of the Sky Eagle Sect not fear that Master Xu will chop you up if he were to forcibly rob civilians in broad daylight?"
How did you know I was Yin Yewang?
"Because I've been waiting for King Yinye."
"Who are you?"
"My name is He Qianjiang!"
"Miao Jiang, surnamed He, an expert in pharmacology, are you a disciple of the Five Poisons Sect? What business do you have with me?"
"This is not the place to talk business."
"I was being presumptuous, young lady, please!"
Yin Yewang thought to himself, "My brother-in-law is here, so I doubt you'd dare do anything to me. Even if this beautiful girl is poisonous, I'll still have a taste of her!"
A private room in a restaurant.
He Qianjiang's words were astonishing: "Young Master, I wish to borrow the Dragon-Slaying Saber for a month, and return it!"
Yin Yewang retorted, "Borrow the Dragon-Slaying Saber? What use are you to me? I don't have a Dragon-Slaying Saber. I practice claw techniques; I have no interest in the Dragon-Slaying Saber!"
"Based on my analysis, you were definitely the one who stole the Dragon-Slaying Saber that day. Please stop pretending!"
"You Miao people don't understand Han customs! The martial arts world of the Central Plains values auspicious names. My brother-in-law is the Azure Dragon. If I were to wield the Dragon-Slaying Saber, our names would clash, causing my brother-in-law's death and my sister to become a widow!"
"Does the Central Plains have such a custom?"
"During the Later Han Dynasty, the two outstanding figures, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, were renowned together. However, Pang Tong died on his way to Shu before he could even display his abilities. Do you know why?"
"Please enlighten me, Young Master!"
"Because Fengchu was ambushed by Zhang Ren, and the place where he was shot happened to be called Luofeng Slope!"
"This was an accident!"
"My father had dealings with the Five Poisons Sect. The Five Poisons Sect reveres the five poisons and is divided into five branches. I don't know which branch you belong to, but you're definitely not a snake!"
Why?
"Because eagles are good at catching snakes!"
"I am a descendant of the Spirit Spider!"
"So that's it! It turns out that the Miao people aren't ignorant of Han customs, it's just that you don't understand them! I really don't have the Dragon-Slaying Saber! What do you need it for? The Miao people specialize in Gu magic, and they prefer soft whips and curved blades as weapons. The Dragon-Slaying Saber is too big and heavy, what use would it be to you?"
"No comment!"
"Miss He, you've been scheming against me, yet I've been completely open and honest with you. For the sake of my integrity, have a drink with me!"
"People from the Central Plains are so complicated. They clearly wanted to trick me into bed, but they insisted on making up a whole bunch of fallacies!"
He Qianjiang looked at Yin Yewang with disdain.
Yin Yewang wiped the sweat from his face, looking like a silly boy experiencing love for the first time. In fact, he was indeed experiencing love for the first time. The moment he saw He Qianjiang, Yin Yewang was moved. This is called love at first sight.
"Lingsu, don't take it to heart! It really wasn't my doing, it must have been my brother! Only he would do something so reckless and disgraceful!"
Yin Susu rarely showed an anxious expression, and carefully explained to Cheng Lingsu that she did not spread the rumors on the street, and that she was not that stupid.
Cheng Lingsu sighed, "Sister Yin, of course I believe you, but the problem is—I've heard—how many confidantes does Brother Xu actually have?"
Yin Susu waved her small hand: "Even if Qingya doesn't know martial arts or has no knowledge, just with his face, if he stood on the street and said he was hungry, countless young women and wives would offer to feed him. How could he not have many lovers?"
"Handsome appearance."
Cheng Lingsu couldn't help but lower her head.
In terms of appearance, Cheng Lingsu was indeed slightly inferior. She had suffered from malnutrition since childhood, was thin and small, and had dry and yellow hair. However, her eyes were bright, clear and piercing, which were comparable to Liu Qingci's.
Yin Susu whispered reassuringly, "Don't worry, little sister! You're much better than me in one aspect: how do you take care of your beautiful feet? Do you soak them in medicinal solutions every day?"
The two were soaking in the bathhouse, talking rather unrestrainedly. Cheng Lingsu envied Yin Susu's curvaceous and fit figure, while Yin Susu envied Cheng Lingsu's fair and delicate feet. Cheng Lingsu had been washing her hands and feet with the essence of all kinds of herbs and medicines since childhood, so her hands and feet were indeed fairer and smoother.
Cheng Lingsu blushed with embarrassment after being spoken to by Yin Susu.
In terms of cunning, Cheng Lingsu far surpasses Yin Susu. Even Yang Yan has been tricked out of countless secrets by her. However, as a witch, Yin Susu is often even more terrifying when she doesn't want to use her brain.
No matter how clever you are, you can't beat me with my straightforward approach. I carried Xu Qingya into the bridal chamber.
Yin Susu continued, "Lingsu, I found a few books in my brother's study. They say that men have some little quirks. Some like women who are light enough to dance on a palm, some like women with slender waists. From my observation, Qingya likes jade feet the most."
Cheng Lingsu: Stop talking, I'm so embarrassed!
How could Yin Susu let Cheng Lingsu off the hook? The more shy Cheng Lingsu was, the more talkative Yin Susu became.
"After the battle last night, you massaged Qingya's muscles to relax his body, which was a huge mistake! How could you massage him with your hands? You should have given him a back massage!"
"Back massage?"
"Qingya loves back massages the most. Also, you really should eat more; you'll need energy when you're full!"
"Sister Yin, this—this—"
"What's there to be shy about? We'll be sleeping in the same bed sooner or later. As your older sister, I should definitely teach you some skills. Learn from me!"
People are different in their "compatibility".
Yin Susu didn't have a good impression of Liu Qingci and Beitang Xin'er, and her feelings towards Yang Yan were relatively neutral. However, she felt an instant connection with Cheng Lingsu.
Yin Susu continued to comfort her: "Lingsu, from now on, your older sister will protect you! Who in our family can do without you? In the future, with such a large family, who won't need you to deliver babies? Who won't need you to treat illnesses? If I have a headache, fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, do you expect Liu Qingci to find an imperial physician to treat me?"
"The imperial physician—isn't that acceptable?"
"Given Liu Qingci's personality, he might very well act as a royal physician himself and tell me that the simplest treatment is to cut off wherever it hurts!"
"What should I do about a headache?"
"Just behead him! Qingya is skilled at this. Zhu Shunshui suffers from headaches 365 days a year, constantly worrying about being silenced by Zhu Xiawu. With three strokes from Qingya, Zhu Shunshui's headaches will be gone forever. It's truly a cure-all!"
"Sister, I have another question."
"What's the problem?"
"Sister, aren't you jealous?"
"My family has been demons for generations. Do you know what a demon is? A demon is all about venting their desires. As long as I feel good, I can do whatever I want!"
"My sister is amazing!"
"Of course, study hard!"
Yin Susu proudly raised her chin.
Cheng Lingsu: I've been tricked onto a pirate ship! I thought I'd met a great hero, but he turned out to be a lecherous scoundrel! With so many beauties around you, aren't you afraid of being exhausted?
Upon realizing this, Cheng Lingsu was suddenly startled.
Q: What is Cheng Lingsu's profession?
A: Doctor!
Q: If Xu Qingya has health problems, who should be held accountable first among the many family members?
A: Cheng Lingsu!
So that's what they were up to!
Should I run away?
Cheng Lingsu turned to look at Yin Susu, then looked down at herself. This was a bathhouse, and there were no poisons or silver needles at hand. If she wanted to run away, Yin Susu would catch her like an eagle catching a chick!
Running away is definitely not an option!
Since we can't run away, we can only stay and enjoy it.
"Sister Yin————"
"What is it?"
"Let me see those books!"
"Can you understand it?"
"I'm a doctor, I know more than you!"
Cheng Lingsu looked at Yin Susu with full confidence.
Yin Susu: It's not easy to learn good things, but it's so quick to learn bad things. I've corrupted you so fast! Only with a doctor at home can we feel at ease going out to gain experience!
"Greetings, Master Zhuge!"
Xu Qingya went to the county government office to visit Zhuge Zhengwo.
Zhuge Zhengwo lay on the bed, looking like he had a sore back, leg cramps, weak limbs and was sweating profusely. It seemed that if you touched him even slightly, he would be sent to the underworld.
However, this kind of show has been played out too many times. Zhuge Zhengwo's credibility in "illness" is so low that even a shared bicycle cannot be scanned. Apart from being able to get a few days of vacation without having to do anything, it is meaningless!
It's absolutely meaningless!
They couldn't even catch a single fish fry.
Xu Qingya also knew that Zhuge Zhengwo was proficient in the "Half-Section Brocade" technique for rapid recovery from injuries. This method was originally only used to treat internal and external injuries, but as Zhuge Zhengwo worked day and night, he mastered this method of healing the heart to an unprecedented level.
The level of skill and proficiency is unparalleled.
It can not only be used to treat injuries, but also to relieve fatigue caused by working overtime. The downside is that it cannot be used continuously. If you work overtime and stay up late for a long time, you need to take some supplements.
Zhuge Zhengwo laughed and said, "Qingya, I have now confirmed that you are indeed the successor of the Martial Saint!"
"this one?"
"His Majesty is waiting for you in the capital!"
"what?"
Xu Qingya was completely dumbfounded.
