Chapter 241 I Will Be the Matchmaker
The four of them looked at the county magistrate, who was startled and confused.
The county magistrate had a worried look on his face: "County Magistrate, Chen Shuo died in my Lucheng. I'm afraid Wujimen will come to take revenge!" As he spoke, his eyes swept over the four people. There was blame in his eyes, and he seemed to be saying that the crisis that Lucheng was about to face was all caused by these four people.
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate's face became solemn, revealing an indescribable worry. He lowered his eyes, as if thinking about how to respond.
At this time, Ran Ke frowned and rolled his eyes at the other party: "Helping you to eradicate the bandits has become our fault."
Luo Yi sneered, not wanting to see the other party's face, and said, "We in Fengyun Pavilion have always been open about what we do. What we did today was just to get rid of harm to the martial arts world. If Wuji Sect comes to retaliate, you can just report the name of our Fengyun Pavilion and say that all this was done by us. Although we in Fengyun Pavilion are not afraid of them, we don't want to get entangled with cowards like you."
The county magistrate was a little embarrassed and waved his hands hastily: "Don't be angry, the county magistrate has no ill intentions, it's just that the Wuji Sect is really difficult and scary, and I am also worried that the people of Lucheng will suffer."
Although Fengyun Pavilion had a bad reputation, it did help them suppress bandits, and one should not be ungrateful, but he could not afford to offend Wujimen.
The county magistrate explained, "I am here with my troops today with the intention of fighting to the death with the Wuji Sect's bandits."
When Shi Jin heard this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes: "I heard that the county magistrate turned a blind eye to it before, why did he suddenly feel guilty today?"
Her words were like a sharp knife, stabbing the county magistrate straight in the face. He looked ashamed: "I am ashamed!"
He sighed and confided his inner thoughts: Although Lucheng is guarded by soldiers, facing a vicious and evil underworld force like Wujimen is like an egg hitting a stone. I have reported it to the court, but it fell on deaf ears. So I chose to remain silent and did not dare to resist. I thought it would bring peace, but I never thought that blindly tolerating them would only make them more rampant and oppress the people of Lucheng. "
The Wuji Sect was founded by Qin Yixian. It was naturally impossible to report it to the imperial court and ask the court to go out and suppress the bandits.
The county magistrate was not a careless person. He knew very well that his inaction had let the people down, but he was powerless to do anything. He fell into long-term depression and helplessness, feeling deeply guilty and in pain.
In a state of helplessness and powerlessness, all he could do was to remind the people immediately when robbers were about to enter the city and ask them to avoid them.
The county magistrate's hands trembled slightly, and tears flashed in his eyes: "I have failed the people of Lucheng."
The county magistrate's eyes were filled with worry and pity. He tried to ease the county magistrate's self-blame: "The county magistrate is too harsh. The current situation is not your fault."
The officers and soldiers around him all looked ashamed. They had also complained about the county magistrate's inaction, but now they understood his difficulties.
The four of them fell into a moment of silence upon hearing this, and they immediately understood the county magistrate's difficulties.
Shi Jin sighed, his eyes showing a complicated look.
The world is unfair, and it is difficult for the weak to survive in troubled times. They either allow themselves to be bullied by the wicked, or they can only huddle in a corner to survive. The people of Lucheng are an example of this.
If she had not inherited the original owner's martial arts, she would have found it difficult to survive in this world.
In this world of martial arts, swordplay is the norm, and grudges and love are the main themes. She seems to have integrated into this world without knowing when. When facing extremely vicious people, she can kill decisively without mercy.
But he also sticks to his bottom line, fearing that he will become unrecognizable.
Shi Sheng suddenly spoke, interrupting Shi Jin's chaotic thoughts.
"I understand the county magistrate's concerns. I am the former junior official of the Dali Temple. If I return to the court one day, I will make a suggestion to Your Majesty and ask the court to go out and suppress the bandits and bring peace to the people of Lucheng."
Shi Jin looked resolute, and echoed: "Wuji Sect is a scourge to the martial arts world. We at Fengyu Pavilion will also help to eradicate it."
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate's eyes flashed with surprise and hope. He hurriedly took two steps forward, looked at Shi Sheng with a smile on his face, and flattered him, "So you are the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple. No wonder your every move is so majestic and upright."
"If you succeed, it will be a blessing for Lucheng and the people! I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Lucheng."
The county magistrate bowed deeply to the four people, and his subordinates behind him followed suit when they saw this.
At this moment, there was a glimmer in the county magistrate's eyes, and he felt that the huge rock pressing on his heart seemed to loosen a little.
While everyone was still immersed in this soothing atmosphere, Ran Ke's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked towards him.
"Hey, still alive." Ran Ke glanced at the Wujimen disciples who were still alive on the ground.
His eyes were cold and murderous: "If you want to cut the grass, you must remove the roots, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
After saying that, he immediately shot those people to death.
The expressions of the county magistrate, the officials and others suddenly changed.
As expected, he came from Fengyun Pavilion.
Shi Jin was slightly stunned when he saw Ran Ke was different from usual.
In the past, he was friendly and talkative, always making people laugh, but I didn't expect that he was also decisive and ruthless when doing things, and he showed no mercy. All the people who came out of Fengyun Pavilion were tough characters.
It's just that he is good at disguising himself, or he has his own principles in doing things.
"To express my gratitude, please come to my house for a meal." The county magistrate's invitation instantly eased the solemn atmosphere.
Although he promised to help them get rid of the Wuji Sect, he didn't know when he would be able to fulfill his promise.
Under the current circumstances, it is not advisable to get too close to government officials. If the Wuji Sect finds out and comes to retaliate, all the people in Lucheng will be in danger.
Shi Jin pondered for a moment, waved his hand and refused, "No need, after we successfully wipe out the Wuji Sect, the county magistrate will invite us to dinner at no later time."
"Speaking of meals, I'm hungry." Ran Ke touched his stomach and said with a childish look.
Shi Jin's lips curled slightly: "There are buns for sale over there, they taste good, you can buy some to try."
After Shi Jin made the suggestion, the four of them walked towards that direction, as if they had forgotten about killing the bandits just now.
The people behind them looked at their relaxed and comfortable backs, with different expressions on their faces.
Afterwards, the officers began to deal with the bodies on the street.
When the four of them walked up to the stall, the stall owner just came out from under the stall and looked at them with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
He saw these four men killing the enemy on the street just now.
After Ran Ke smelled the aroma of the buns, he stared at the steaming buns in the steamer: "Boss, give me five buns."
"Okay." The boss shouted enthusiastically and immediately installed it for him, not forgetting to chat with them during the process.
"Are you from the outer city? Judging from your skills, you seem to be no ordinary people."
Shi Jin's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and his expression paused for a moment, and then he slowly said: "We are from Fengyun Pavilion, and we have an old grudge against Wuji Sect. This time we come here to seek revenge."
The stall owner was slightly startled, his eyes moving as if he was thinking, "So that's how it is." He handed the bun to Ran Ke with a smile.
Ran Ke took it and was about to pay the stall owner, but he waved his hand and said, "No charge, the buns are free, just consider it as a token of gratitude to you young heroes for helping us Lucheng people eliminate the robbers of Wujimen."
After leaving the stall, Luo Yi looked puzzled and asked Shi Jin, "Why did you say this to the stall owner?"
"I want to use him to let the city know what we did today. If the Wuji Sect intends to seek revenge and sends people to inquire about the situation, we can deal with them and let them know that this was done by Fengyun Pavilion and the government and the people are completely unaware of it. This will protect the people of Lucheng to a certain extent and prevent the Wuji Sect from pointing the spearhead at the government too early."
Luo Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Thinking carefully."
"That's right," Shi Jin said with a cocky smile, raising his hand and about to hug Luo Yi's shoulders affectionately.
But just as her hand was about to fall, Shi Sheng behind her was quick-witted and raised his hand in time to stop her.
Shi Jin couldn't help but look over in confusion: "What's wrong, brother?"
"She has a wound on her back." Shi Sheng said in a low and steady voice.
He was worried that Shi Jin would touch her wound.
After these words were spoken, Luo Yi's face was stunned, and a barely perceptible joy flashed in his eyes.
"Ah, you are injured." Shi Jin became nervous when he heard it, and hurriedly went behind Luo Yi to check.
I saw that there was a cut on Luo Yi's clothes on the back of his shoulder, and blood was slowly seeping out from the wound, staining the clothes with a glaring red.
Shi Jin frowned slightly, her eyes full of anxiety, "Why don't you say anything?"
Pulling Luo Yi, he walked towards the inn: "Let's go back to the inn to get the medicine now."
Luo Yi, however, looked nonchalant and gently waved his hand: "It's okay, just some minor injuries."
Shi Jin held Luo Yi's arm tightly, and said in a tone that did not allow for refusal: "Don't be careless, it will be troublesome if the wound gets infected."
As he spoke, Shi Jin seemed to suddenly think of something, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised a meaningful arc. He glanced and fell on Shi Sheng, with a little more teasing in his eyes: "Brother, you are so careful, I didn't even notice that she was injured."
Then, she turned her gaze back to Luo Yi, with a sly smile on her face, and said deliberately: "If anything happens to you, my eldest brother will be sad."
As soon as these words came out, Shi Sheng's expression changed slightly. A trace of panic seemed to flash across his cold face, and his eyes revealed a kind of embarrassment and helplessness of having his little thoughts exposed in front of him.
When Luo Yi heard this, he looked at him, as if asking him if this was true.
Shi Sheng seemed to be burned by her gaze. He coughed lightly, turned his head away, and pretended to look elsewhere, but his slightly red ears betrayed his true emotions.
Shi Jin immediately understood this subtle atmosphere and was secretly delighted.
I have decided to be the matchmaker.
"Let's go." She took Luo Yi's hand and left, walking forward briskly, with Shi Sheng following closely behind.
Only Ran Ke was left eating buns, his eyes clear and cute: "When did big brother and Luo Yi become so close?"
After returning to the inn, Shi Jin immediately applied medicine to Luo Yi.
After applying the medicine, she realized that they seemed to have forgotten something important.
"We all forgot about the flare we just sent out. If I'm not mistaken, it was a distress signal. Wujimen will surely send people to Lucheng to help."
Ran Ke showed a smile of control on his face: "Don't worry, his reinforcements can't come."
