Chapter 174 Slip away

Long Xiang quickly came to Yanan's side, obviously recognized Yanan, and stared at the purse and Xixiang Order in his hand.

"My purse..."

Looking at the pitiful look of the girl, Yanan's mouth twitched and he threw the purse to her.

"Ah, thank you, you're such a nice person."

No, I feel like if this continues, Yanan will have to go to Longxiang to buy melon seeds.

"So what's going on with this Sheng Xue?"

Tang Buyi took the Xixiang Order and was looking through it. When he heard Yanan's question, he showed a nostalgic expression.

"It's a long story now. That year I was..."

"Long story short."

"A few years ago, while traveling in Jiangling, I met a very miserable woman. I gave her some money, and she insisted on marrying me. I couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to agree."

"Unfortunately, for some reason, the girl from Jinxiang Palace kept chasing me. She started by accusing me of seducing her with my beauty, and then she stabbed me with her sword without giving me a chance to explain."

After saying that, Tang Buyi glanced at Long Xiang in front of him and continued speaking.

"But that girl's swordsmanship is far inferior to that of this female knight. In the end, she couldn't even touch the edge of my clothes."

"In the end, I teased her so much that she ran away crying, haha~"

"Just be fair, that girl is so pitiful. She has a gambling father, a sick mother, a brother who goes to school, and she is so broken..."

"Ah~ If I don't help her, who will?"

Putting aside the subsequent plot, Yanan roughly understood something, but before he could respond, Long Xiang on the other side asked a question first.

"That's not right. Isn't such a small matter enough to make you be on the Xixiang Order?"

After all, Long Xiang had seen what happened to the two women just now and knew that he had been deceived. In order to find out what was going on, he explained the Xixiang Order.

"This Xixiang Order records all the scoundrels in the martial arts world. They have all been investigated one by one, with evidence provided by the local Jinxiang Palace disciples and submitted to the Palace Master for review before they are registered. It's impossible that just because of these trivial matters..."

Before Long Xiang finished speaking, he looked at Tang Buyi with a scrutinizing gaze, as if he was sure that he had done something to bully a good family, which was why he was registered by Junior Sister Sheng Xue.

It was precisely because of his trust in Xixiang Ling that he skipped this step of the investigation when he heard that a woman had reported Tang Buyi.

Under the gaze of the two, Tang Buyi cried out in injustice.

"How is that possible! Yanan, you know me. I never bother to do those things."

"so?"

"She kept chasing me, and I couldn't kill her, so I thought of the saying 'a gentleman should use words, not fists.'"

"Oh?"

"Every time she chased me, I would tell her she had a round face, a flat nose, a big mouth, a thick waist, short legs, and no neck. I would even make it into a song and sing it eight times a day, telling all the kids I met..."

Hearing Tang Buyi's words, Long Xiang felt a little ashamed.

"Junior Sister Sheng Xue wouldn't say she's as beautiful as a fairy, but she wouldn't say it's so unbearable, would she?"

But the two did not respond to Long Xiang and continued chatting on their own.

"Anyway, I heard that girl cried for half a year and was depressed for a year. As for what happened after that, I don't know."

"But, to be honest, it's been all these years and I didn't take it to heart. Why is she so vindictive? She even made me sign the Xixiang Order."

"Indeed, as a brother, putting aside the facts, this disciple of Jinxiang Palace is really mediocre."

After chatting with Tang Buyi for a while without any context, and remembering that Tang Moling was still asleep, he made up an excuse and left.

As for the apologies from Long Xiang and Tang Buyi later on, they were not involved.

Although the officers and soldiers surrounded the outer fort, Yanan disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Detective Song, who had been paying attention to this place, saw Yanan disappear on the spot, his eyes flashed, and he thought to himself.

What a fast martial art!

"Young Master Tang, who is that?"

Tang Buyi looked up at the sky and said something in a pretentious manner.

"immortal!"

It was obvious that Detective Song did not believe Tang Buyi's nonsense and asked seriously.

"Young Master Tang, I hope you can tell me who that person is. After all, if such a master with unknown origins gets into trouble, I'm afraid it will cause us a lot of headaches for a while."

Tang Buyi felt a bit embarrassed when he looked at Constable Song. After all, they had collaborated a lot before, and he had even troubled him a lot with the aftermath.

After thinking for a moment, he simply said something.

"He's my fellow apprentice, I guess."

Long Xiang looked at the vague Tang Buyi and added with some doubt.

"He said last night that he was the Kongtong Sect's Chief Patriarch, but isn't the Kongtong Sect's Chief Patriarch wrapped in bandages because he went astray while practicing martial arts?"

Just when Captain Song turned to look at Tang Buyi, Tang Buyi suddenly felt something was wrong. He made up an excuse and ran away using his lightness skills.

"I'm leaving now. I won't disturb you anymore. My water is boiling. I'm leaving now."

It’s time to slip away. If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to leave.

"If you need anything, just look for my fourth junior brother~"

Looking at the disappearing Tang Buyi, he touched his stomach. For some reason, he couldn't help but feel hungry after seeing Yanan just now.

Hmm...I suddenly want to eat the chicken legs from last night.

The skin is crispy and the chicken is tender, it tastes perfect.

It’s on the same level as my favorite chestnut roasted chicken legs!

I don't know if there is any sold in this town...

Feeling that his saliva was about to flow out, Long Xiang looked at the detective Song who was standing beside him and asked something unknown.

"Captain Song, since there's nothing else, I'll leave."

Although it is very dangerous to have such a master in one's own territory, it would be best to restrain him.

However, Captain Song, who was thinking about the purpose of the mysterious man, nodded and asked his men to open a way and let Long Xiang go.

The leader of Kongtong Sect?

Judging from Tang Buyi's appearance, he shouldn't be lying.

However, the Kongtong Sect has been making some pretty big moves recently...

In other words, those officials in the court who were just sitting in office and doing nothing did not care and did not notice the danger at all.

Now, the purpose of the Kongtong Sect's leader coming to the Tang Sect in person is hard to say...

After taking a look at Zhao Huo and Tang Weiyuan in the crowd, they silently said sorry to Tang Buyi in their hearts.

He came up to the two of them, bowed, and said politely

"Could you please come with me to the government office? After all, you have already reported the matter to the authorities, and the necessary records are still necessary."

Tang Weiyuan remembered that he still had a pile of bills to collect today, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. He quickly pushed Zhao Huo out.

"Detective Song, I'll leave Zhao Huo to you. I guarantee he'll know everything. Just let him take the notes."

The relationship between Captain Song and Tang Buyi was quite good. After thinking about it, he agreed to Tang Weiyuan's proposal and took the two women and Zhao Huo back to the yamen.

Before leaving, Tang Weiyuan shouted at Zhao Huo.

"Junior Brother Zhao Huo, remember to come find me at the shop after you finish taking notes. I still have a lot of things to move."

Zhao Huo, who was following behind Detective Song, waved his hand and responded weakly.

"understood……"

Tang Weiyuan was worried and explained it again.

"Don't forget, my eldest brother has run away. I can't move all these things by myself."
