Light Dance Jiajing

Chapter 54 Crisis

Before Shao Yuanjie could say anything, old man Zheng ran out happily, knelt beside Shao Yuanjie and said flatteringly: "I am the head of this village. There is a yard in the back mountain here, which is surrounded by mountains and water. It is very quiet. If you don't mind, you can go there to rest for a while." Old man Zheng's eyes were full of begging and flattering. Just kidding, the gods had descended on his village, and he wanted to learn the way to become an immortal. Looking at the expression of the governor, he was afraid that he wanted to intercept him, so he rushed out in a hurry.

What he said was exactly what Meng'er wanted. Old Master Zheng had already cleaned up that courtyard. At first, he was obsessed with inviting fairies, so he wondered where the fairies would live if they were invited. So he cleaned up the courtyard carefully. Now that he knew the person he invited was a princess from the fairyland, he thought even more about how to curry favor with her carefully. Meng'er nodded in agreement and followed Old Master Zheng. A group of officials quickly followed, and the people from the Zheng family also hurriedly chased after them.

Meng'er was led to this courtyard by Mr. Zheng. It was really natural and quiet. There were four or five houses in a row built on the hillside. In front of the houses, a stream flowed by. There were bamboo forests everywhere and birds singing. It really looked like a paradise. However, the group of people outside really spoiled the scenery. Meng'er frowned slightly and showed displeasure. When Mr. Zheng saw this, he quickly ordered people to tell everyone not to gather here. However, he couldn't chase the adults away. Seeing that they had no intention of leaving, he accompanied them. He said to Meng'er with a smile, "Princess, please calm down. These are local officials and they haven't paid their respects to the princess yet. You see..." Before he finished speaking, Meng'er turned away with a cold face and ignored him, turning into the house, leaving Mr. Zheng and several officials standing there in embarrassment. There were also several adults on the board. The governor chuckled and said, "We are rude, but please don't make the fairy unhappy. Let's go back and burn incense and pray before coming to see the princess." Everyone agreed and then dispersed.

The place where the fairy princess lived had to be well protected. Old Master Zheng was in charge personally and ordered his three sons to set up tents around it. He also ordered his daughter-in-law and three daughters who had returned to their parents' home to take care of the princess' daily life. However, Meng'er did not appreciate it at all and directly asked him to take his daughter-in-law and daughters away. Meng'er thought to herself that leaving these people here would only get in the way, so you'd better take them away quickly.

At night, Zheng Liu arranged patrol personnel and quietly came to see Meng'er. Meng'er was waiting for him. Shao Yuanjie lived next door to Meng'er. Now he was the only one allowed to approach the fairy. He now seemed to be the spokesperson of God. At the same time, he could also pass messages to Zheng Liu and others. At this time, several people gathered together again, including Xing Shuyu. Zheng Liu couldn't do anything with her. He knew that if he didn't bring her, she would break in by herself. He simply brought her with him to feel more at ease.

When they met, they were excited for a while. Xing Shuyu stared at Meng'er for a long time, looking her up and down, and suddenly exhaled: "I really don't recognize you." Zheng Liu and San Shao also laughed and said: "We almost don't recognize her anymore." Several people laughed together again. Meng'er lifted her skirt and turned around, jokingly saying: "Do you think I'm beautiful, haha." Meng'er had changed out of the overly gorgeous outfit at this time. Now she has several sets of clothes in her closet, all of which are Zheng The old man went to the city to buy it, and it fit her size. She was wearing a lake green dress made of the finest brocade. The women they usually saw were all wearing coarse clothes and rough cloth. When they saw the newly dressed Mei'er, they felt that she was full of elegance and her every move was naturally noble, as if this dress suited her just right. Mei'er had her long hair loosely tied behind her head. She smiled, her eyes were lively and naturally bright, and there was no trace of the greasy little kitchen girl anymore.

Xing Shuyu looked at her and said, "Anan, you must not be the daughter of an ordinary family."

After hearing what she said, Meng'er tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "Yes." Her tone sounded like a joke. Xing Shuyu smiled and shook her head. Although there were many things about Meng'er that surprised her, she couldn't imagine that she could have any surprising identity. After being surprised, she didn't think much about it.

Then several people began to worry about what to do next. They felt relieved for a while, but what should they do next? What kind of organization is the White Lotus Sect? It would be strange if they let you go after ruining such a big plan. They acted on impulse this time and had no plan for the next step. Risks are accompanied by opportunities, and opportunities also face huge risks. Although they have won a round of the White Lotus Sect, they are also well aware of the storms they will face next. Zheng Liu spoke first: "Anan, you must leave here as soon as possible. I have arranged for someone to send you and your brother away tonight."

Shao Yuanjie also said: "Leave this to me. If you don't leave now, I'm afraid the officials of the prefecture will drag you to the capital to seek credit, and then it will be difficult to escape."

Mei'er shook her head slowly and said, "I'm afraid it's too late. Not to mention the imperial court, even the White Lotus Sect won't let us go. Everyone knows that I live here, and there must be their spies all around here." She thought for a while and said firmly, "Now that things have come to this, we might as well wait for them to come. Even though their young master has failed, they still have me. If they don't do something with a 'true immortal' like me, they won't be the White Lotus Sect anymore..." Before Mei'er finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from afar and soon it was close. The people in the room were shocked, but at the same time they found that their bodies were drained of energy and they could no longer exert any strength.

The man who came was an old man in his fifties or sixties, with an ordinary figure and appearance, but his eyes were too sharp. He only glanced at Zheng Liu and the others, and then his gaze fell on Meng'er. Meng'er suppressed her panic and forced herself to be calm, but the next second, she couldn't remain calm at all, because she saw Zaihou. The great wizard was holding a sleeping boy under his armpit. Wasn't that Zaihou? Meng'er stared with anxiety and could no longer hide her anxiety. The old man looked at Zaihou and He took a glance and said, "Your brother is in our hands. I think you wouldn't frown even if we asked you to go through fire and water." Meng'er gritted her teeth and said nothing. The old man continued, "You are Zaiji's sister. Yes, you are a smart person, but being too smart may not be a good thing." He paused after a few words. Meng'er was also quickly calculating countermeasures in her mind, but she sadly discovered that she really had no way out. The old man said again, "Where is the person?" He said this to Zheng Liu.

Zheng Liu seemed to have known that he would ask this question, and said without thinking: "Don't hurt the child. I will take you to find the person you want."
