Taoist and dog
Chapter 17
Xiao Rong didn't see the instant change in Lu Qinghe's expression.
He was holding on to the courtyard door with one hand, his face illuminated by the fire was very calm, no emotion could be seen, "What's the matter?"
The one who took the lead glanced at the yard behind Lu Qinghe, his eyes stayed on Xiao Rong for a moment before turning to Lu Qinghe, hesitantly said while looking, "You..."
The soldier's eyes were quite sharp, Xiao Rong pressed his left shoulder, and his whole body froze into a stone. His mind was full of what Lu Qinghe said to him in the wild. Many children were lost in Liaocheng. These people were not searched and caught by the whole city. That evil monster...
Lu Qinghe looked back at the other party, waiting for his next words.
"A Taoist priest?"
Lu Qinghe's brows twitched, and he let go before frowning, "Yes."
"All right, then you come with me." The soldier took a step back and gave way to Lu Qinghe.
Lu Qinghe didn't move, "Sudden visit in the middle of the night, no matter where you go, you must make it clear."
The soldier immediately showed an impatient expression, but when he saw Lu Qinghe like this, he patiently explained, "There is a demon in Liao City tonight, and a doll was lost. Mr. Xu asked the Taoist priest to come over and discuss the matter of eliminating the demon. , without further ado, please follow me, Taoist priest."
Mr. Xu Lu Qinghe has heard of this. Mr. Xu is called Xu Zuoting. He is a warlord. He just came to Liaocheng to succeed him not long ago. As for his temper and temperament, he doesn't know, but this ass is going to get rid of demons before it's hot. It should be a practical matter. yes.
"Okay." Lu Qinghe's tense body also relaxed when he let go of the courtyard gate. He had the same idea as Xiao Rong, thinking that these soldiers came looking for monsters, so he kept blocking Xiao Rong, and was ready to strike at any time. Prepare, "Wait for me a moment."
The light blocked by Lu Qinghe spread into the courtyard, Xiao Rong was about to hide in the shadow, Lu Qinghe squatted in front of the stool.
"Follow me." Lu Qinghe pretended to untie the chain.
Xiao Rong shook his head hesitantly.
"It's not safe for you to stay here alone, follow me."
Lu Qinghe didn't say the rest, Xiao Rong understood what he meant, and stood up when Lu Qinghe got up.
With Lu Qing, he can survive, at least tonight.
The soldier glanced at the iron chain between the two of them. Although he was curious, he didn't ask any further questions. He pointed to the outside and led the way.
"They are ordinary people, and they can't see any clues. Once you meet someone who can see through your identity, don't panic, don't be afraid, just stay by my side honestly, and do whatever I ask you to do, understand?" Lu Qinghe whispered.
Xiao Rong glanced at the soldiers surrounding them and nodded.
……
Xu Zuoting's mansion was brightly lit, not to mention soldiers with guns at the door, everyone was in a hurry, obviously something happened.
It seems that things are not as simple as they thought.
The soldiers led the two of them into the house until they reached the entrance of the lobby, "Please wait for a moment in the lobby, Mr. Xu will come right away."
"Okay." Lu Qinghe lowered his eyes in response, and then led Xiao Rong across the threshold.
Xiao Rong felt that the current Lu Qinghe and he knew exactly two people.
Now this one is really like a Taoist priest who is unpredictable and untainted by the mundane world.
Mr. Xu's mansion was electrified, unlike Lu Qinghe who used candles, the hall was lit like daytime, and the Western-style lamps on the beams made Xiao Rong's eyes widen.
Just as Xiao Rong was watching, the iron chain around his neck tightened suddenly, pulling his head down, and only when his eyes fell did he realize that there were not only the two of them in the room, but several other people.
These people are all dressed in robes and Taoist robes, and their appearances are different, but the eyes they look at him are surprisingly the same, all revealing the ferocity of cannibalism.
The atmosphere in the house was oppressive, as if a fire would explode.
Xiao Rong's heart tightened, and all the hair on his body stood up with his fists clenched.
Lu Qinghe didn't take it seriously, he led Xiao Rong in without hesitation.
Xiao Rong didn't raise his head, but from the corner of his eyes, he saw that every time they took a step, the expressions of those people changed a little bit, and before reaching the center, one of them couldn't hold back anymore, his face turned red like a pig's liver, pointing Lu Qinghe roared loudly, "Lu Qinghe, you are so brave to bring a monster with you!"
These words broke the silence, and the lobby immediately exploded, and Lu Qing became the target of public criticism.
Xiao Rong froze, subconsciously leaning forward.
Lu Qinghe tightened the iron chain calmly, Xiao Rong glanced at him, and stood there again suppressing his restlessness.
"You still think there are not enough monsters in Liao City?!"
"A person who cultivates the Tao, sees the demon and does not get rid of it, and even leads him through the market, this is... this is..."
"The monster disappeared after catching the child. Some people suspected that the monster was hiding in the city, and maybe even took on the appearance of a human. Lu Qinghe, are you..."
Lu Qinghe pulled Xiao Rong to the side behind him and protected him behind him.
Xiao Rong was surprised, and his actions annoyed everyone again.
"Lu Qinghe! That's a monster!"
"Could it be that you have been bewitched by a demon..."
"Lu Qing and you..."
"Don't talk too much, wait for me to punish this evildoer first!" After saying that, the man stretched his hand into his sleeve and rushed towards Xiao Rong.
Xiao Rong took half a step back, Lu Qinghe glanced at him sideways, Xiao Rong still felt Lu Qinghe's ridicule in this instant.
No prospects.
Xiao Rong: "..."
Lu Qinghe quickly blocked Xiao Rong completely, and raised his finger.
Xiao Rong felt a gust of wind blowing over his cheeks, turned his head to look again, and Lu Qinghe's fingertips were just facing the man's Adam's apple, the latter's head was slightly raised, half of the magic weapon was still in the sleeve, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Try moving him." Lu Qinghe said.
"land……"
"Who has the guts to bully my dog in front of me?" Lu Qinghe swept across the crowd with a smile on his face.
The Adam's apple that was directly facing the fingertips moved, and the expressions of the others were also ugly.
"He's my dog, don't think about him."
"Dog?" Lu Qinghe just finished speaking, and a group of people walked out of the back hall in a hurry. The one in the front was wearing an officer's uniform, and his leather boots fell on the ground, and there was an echo. He first glanced at Lu Qinghe, then at Xiao Rong The iron chain around his neck gave two meaningful snorts, "The Taoist priest is very interested."
As soon as this person appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention and broke the tense situation.
Lu Qinghe lowered his eyes, then raised his head and became the priest when he entered the door.
Xiao Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he could feel that Lu Qinghe was not a warning just now, if the soldier came a little later or continued to talk, Lu Qinghe could really do it.
When he said try to move him, he lost his temper.
If they dared to touch him, Lu Qinghe would prevent them from going out the door.
The Taoist didn't lie this time, he really protected him, and even blocked the abuse for him.
In this room, Lu Qinghe stood opposite to everyone else.
It's ridiculous to think about it, he hates Lu Qinghe, but at a critical moment, he has no choice but to cling to Lu Qinghe.
"Is everyone here? No waiting, just these." The man walked to the chair in the middle with a smile, and he raised his legs in a pile, pointing the toes of his dangling shoes at the chairs in the room. "I brought you here today to get rid of that demon that has been harming people in Liao City."
"You are...Master Xu?" Someone asked tentatively.
"I'm not your Master Xu, I'm his son, Xu Chengrong." Speaking of this, the man put away his foolish look, cleared his throat, and put down his raised legs, "To be honest, tonight The child lost in Liaocheng is my younger brother."
Everyone was amazed, even Lu Qinghe stared at him, stealing a child from an ordinary family is nothing more than stealing it from the biggest family in Liaocheng.
"The old man is so angry that he can't see the guests right now, so I will do it for him." The lost child is Xu Chengrong's youngest brother. After more than two months, the old man planned to give him a hundred-day arrest after he arrived in Liaocheng. Zhou, but as soon as we started preparing, something happened to the child, "We just arrived in Liaocheng, and we are not too familiar with the situation here, so we found you after asking people."
Xiao Rong looked at Lu Qinghe, and Lu Qinghe nodded slightly, indicating that Xu Chengrong's words were okay.
Earlier, because of the demons in Liaocheng, Lu Qinghe came to pay a visit to the official before Mr. Xu, but he didn't even go in. He left his address at that time, and the soldier asked him to go home and wait for the news. Now.
Before he came, he still thought that Xu Zuo was a man who worked for the country and the people, and immediately started to think of a solution when something happened, and only after he came did he realize that Master Xu is similar to the previous one, and he didn't care about the demon riot in Liaocheng On the ground, I don't know the existence of these people at all.
And Xu Chengrong...
What he said was high-sounding, but in fact it was irrelevant. He was not worried. The reason why he appeared here was probably not just for his father to see.
Lu Qinghe looked at this man again.
"Don't talk nonsense, my father implores all the great immortals to help me. If I can find my brother, my Xu family will be very grateful." Xu Chengrong stood up and cupped his fists symbolically, "Please don't say anything about this matter. If you have any requests or cooperation In this place, the Great Immortals can just say a word, human life is at stake, and I hope that all the Great Immortals will act as soon as possible to capture the monster and benefit the people of my Liao City."
After Xu Chengrong finished speaking, someone pointed at Xiao Rong, "If you want a monster, there is one here."
All eyes were on Xiao Rong again.
Xu Chengrong didn't move, but the soldiers beside him immediately pulled out their guns.
He was holding on to the courtyard door with one hand, his face illuminated by the fire was very calm, no emotion could be seen, "What's the matter?"
The one who took the lead glanced at the yard behind Lu Qinghe, his eyes stayed on Xiao Rong for a moment before turning to Lu Qinghe, hesitantly said while looking, "You..."
