Fragrance on the Moon

Whether Nangong Ling is a girl or Ren Ci's apprentice is Hong Qi, it is a bit of a shock to Ah Liu, a time traveler who has read martial arts novels.

The former is better, because after a brief shock, she remembered that Chu Liuxiang was also a woman in this world, and thought that if that was the case, why couldn't Nangong Ling be a woman?But the latter—

She couldn't help turning her eyes to Hong Qi who was seated on Ren Ci's left.

This kid didn't treat the three of them as outsiders at all, and he ate it straight away after sitting down, and it was delicious.

Just watching him eat, Ah Liu felt his appetite revived, and he wanted to continue using his chopsticks for a while.

Hong Qineng worshiped under Ren Ci's family and became his most valued apprentice. His skills were second to none among his peers.A Liu only looked at him for a short while before he noticed it, and then raised his eyes to look at her.

"I'm sorry." He was probably told many times by Ren Ci about eating, and now seeing the distinguished guests staring at him eating, he subconsciously apologized, "I'm too hungry, I lost my composure."

Sure enough, Ren Ci also immediately continued: "You... I don't think you can get rid of the habit of wolfing down every meal when you live to be 60 years old. If you don't know, you may think that I have treated you harshly."

"But I just like to eat." Hong Qi said, "It's easy to get hungry after practicing."

"Indeed." Ah Liu didn't intend to shock his eating habits, but after thinking about it, it would be better to smooth things over, "When I was as young as Brother Hong, I was often so hungry that my chest was pressed against my back because of my practice. Even if a cow is placed in front of my eyes, I can finish it."

As soon as Hong Qi heard it, he suddenly felt that he had found a bosom friend: "That's right, and if you don't eat enough, how can you continue to practice!"

Ah Liu smiled: "Brother Hong is absolutely right."

The scene returned to harmony, so Ren Ci naturally wouldn't criticize his disciples anymore.

He raised the wine glass and said that he would formally toast them.

Ah Liu immediately waved his hands to show that he couldn't afford it, and gave the two bamboo horses a wink by the way.

Hu Tiehua couldn't understand her eyes at all, and could only blink in confusion. Fortunately, Ji Bingyan understood it instantly, and said: "The leader really doesn't have to be so polite, you are a master of martial arts, and we are just a few small shrimps who have just come out of the rivers and lakes. As for Xiong As for the matter of the lady, Old Chu also said that, as long as he still has a trace of humanity, he will not be allowed to continue to cause trouble in the world."

Ji Bingyan is the kind of person who can control the rhythm immediately when socializing.

He quickly finished his resignation, then quickly shifted the topic to Mrs. Xiong herself, and asked, "Speaking of which, why did the leader offer a reward to him back then?"

Sure enough, when Ren Ci heard this, he put down his wine glass, and said indignantly, "At that time, he hadn't committed a crime for almost a year, and I thought he knew he had repented, but at the beginning of the second year, he continued to commit crimes in Gusu. Rape? He raped more than a dozen girls from good families!"

"One of them, after careful calculation, is also my responsibility. At that time, I went to visit Li Guanyu, the owner of Yongcui Mountain Villa. On the way to Tiger Hill, I ran into a pair of sisters. I followed my sister and walked very slowly, when I passed them, I didn't see anything wrong at all, but when I went down the mountain after visiting Master Li, I saw the sister's body at the foot of Tiger Hill."

"Could it be that elder sister is Xiong Niangzi?" Hu Tiehua blurted out.

"It's Mrs. Xiong." Ren Ci was heartbroken, "It was he who found out that I was going up the mountain, and he didn't want to confront me head-on. She walked away, and the girl couldn't bear the humiliation, so she committed suicide directly!"

A Liu was terrified when he heard this, and instantly understood why Ren Ci valued this matter so much.

She almost gasped, and said: "Mistress Xiong is really a person full of evil."

Ji Bingyan also said: "At that time, he should have killed him directly."

"It doesn't matter, now that his identity has been exposed and his martial arts has been lost, life is better than death." Ren Ci sighed, "I hope he will live for a long time, and experience the most suffering in the world."

"That's right." Ji Bingyan responded, paused for a moment with downcast eyes, then raised her glass and said, "Since that's the case, let's drink this glass of wine as a comfort to those poor girls who were harmed by him."

Of course Ren Ci did not object.

He has been thinking about this matter for the past few years, and now that he has finally settled a knot in his heart, he is also relieved.

After that, everyone ended the topic about Xiong Niangzi.

A Liu wanted to remind Ren Cinan about the palace spirit, but she didn't know where to start.

For one thing, it is impossible for her to tell Ren Ci directly that you, an apprentice, will be a white-eyed wolf in the future, because I have read novels;

Secondly, Nangong Ling really hasn't done anything yet, she can't judge in advance that she will definitely take the path of murdering her foster father like in the original book.

The original is just a reference, not an absolute bible.

If the original novel was written in the same way, the story would have happened step by step. Then how could Chu Liuxiang and Nan Gongling become women, and how could Hong Qi become Ren Ci's apprentice?

Just when she was struggling in her heart, Nangong Ling, who ate quietly the whole time, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said that she had finished eating.

Ren Ci: "Then you go back to your room to rest first?"

Nangong Ling shook her head: "I'll wait for my brother."

Hong Qi: "I'll finish eating soon!" After saying that, there was another burst of frantic grilling.

Nangong Ling hummed lightly, then sat on the side obediently and continued to wait.

Seeing it, Ah Liu felt that the relationship between the senior brothers and sisters was quite good, so he smiled unconsciously.

As an outsider, Ren Ci was even more pleased, and proudly showed off to Ah Liu and the others: "Linger and Ah Qi grew up together, and it was Ah Qi who fed her when she was a child. , She is more willing to listen to her senior brother than me as a master."

A Liufa sincerely felt that getting along well with their senior brothers and sisters would help Nangong Ling to be a good person, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's a good thing to be willing to listen to what your senior brother says. Isn't it nice that Gang Leader Ren just needs to worry less?"

Ren Ci laughed loudly, and after laughing, he patted Hong Qi on the shoulder again, saying yes, and sooner or later the beggar gang would be handed over to them.

"Then master will agree to my previous request." Nangong Ling said suddenly.

"Why bring that up again?" Ren Ci frowned, "How old are you, it's serious to stay in the gang and practice martial arts well."

Hearing this, Nangong Ling immediately revealed a look of disappointment on her face, she clenched her lips and said, "But..."

Ah Liu was confused: "Does Miss Ling'er want to leave the Beggars' Sect?"

Ren Ci sighed, and said: "Yes, in Jinan before, I don't know if it was because of feng shui. She always said that she would hear someone knocking on her window at night, and she got sick several times because of it."

"I thought it might be better for her to change the environment, so I brought them to Jiangnan, but she said that she wanted to go out with Ah Qi to practice, and she didn't want to stay in the gang."

"I really heard it." Nangong Ling was very aggrieved, "I even talked to the person who knocked on my window. Why don't you believe it?"

Ren Ci probably wanted to refute, but before he could open his mouth, A Liu preempted him.

A Liu looked at Nangong Ling's face full of grievances, and asked tentatively, "What did that person tell you?"

"He said that my brother is not a good person, and he will kill me sooner or later." The little girl said angrily, "He also said that I should trust him, because he is the only person in the world who will treat me well. He is really sick!"

Hong Qi, who had finished eating, put down his chopsticks, turned his head and patted his junior sister's head very skillfully, and said, "Okay, okay, don't think about that sick person anymore, I'm done eating, let's go to Lanyuan to practice the dog-beating stick Fa, how is it?"

Nangong Ling was happier now, jumped off the stool and said yes.

After the pair of senior brothers and sisters left holding hands, Ren Ci explained to Ah Liu and the others.

Ren Cidao: "Ling'er told me for the first time when someone knocked on her window in the middle of the night, I took it very seriously. Afterwards, I deliberately laid an ambush outside her courtyard for several nights, but no one came, and the guards everywhere in the gang also said that they didn't see her." Then she got sick again and went to the doctor, who said she might be haunted by something dirty."

A Liu: "..."

No, I think what she said should be true, it's just that that person has learned the superior martial arts from Shaolin Temple and the Japanese ninjutsu left to him by his father, so he is very good at hiding.

But this can't be said directly to Ren Ci, it will be regarded as a mental illness, so he can only find another way.

Ah Liu was stunned: "So that's how it is."

"That's right." Ren Ci continued, "But Ling'er firmly believed in this matter, and said that after coming to Jiangnan, that person reappeared, and disappeared like a puff of smoke after talking to her, so I don't want to Staying in the gang, it happened that Ah Qi also reached the age when he should go out to practice, so she clamored to go with Ah Qi."

Disappeared like a puff of smoke!

Isn't this Japanese ninjutsu!

Hearing this, Ah Liu couldn't be more sure that the person Nangong Ling was talking about was definitely Wu Hua.

And Wuhua would say that it is very reasonable, if you want this sister who lives in the beggar gang to listen to her and do things for her, the first thing to do is naturally destroy the relationship between her and her most trusted senior brother.

It's just that Wuhua probably didn't expect that Nangong Ling's trust and dependence on Hong Qi was so deep, and her own brainwashing not only failed, but also made her cling to Hong Qi even more.

"Actually..." A Liu thought about it, "Since she is so resistant to staying in the gang, the gang leader might as well agree to her. I think little brother Hong's martial arts are quite good, and he should be able to protect Miss Linger."

"Besides, Miss Linger's background is not bad. If she leaves the Beggar Clan, she may not be able to practice martial arts. If she insists on staying, it may make her depressed and unwilling to practice martial arts."

After Ren Ci listened, although he didn't agree immediately, he didn't directly veto it either.

A Liu could see that he should be seriously thinking about the feasibility of this suggestion.

"If the leader is worried about these two apprentices, he can also secretly send more people to follow them. He doesn't need to show his face at ordinary times, but he will come out to protect one or two in an emergency. Isn't that all right?"

A Liu was persuasive, "In this way, Miss Ling'er won't be depressed, and the two of them can also get exercise in the arena."

Ren Ci pondered for a long time, but finally he was convinced, and said, "Young Master Chu is more thoughtful."

Ah Liu: "Where is it, I also see that the leader of the gang is eager to love your disciple." A little white flower facing Hong Qichang, of course, can't let Wuhua's plan to rebel succeed!

Chatting and chatting, they drank until midnight.

Ren Ci enthusiastically kept them here, saying that he was half the host in Jinling, and his subordinates hadn't counted all the belongings that could be fulfilled by Xiong Niangzi's reward order, so it would be more convenient to stay overnight.

Knowing that she was about to make a fortune, even Ji Bingyan had no objections.

He deserved it faster than her: "The leader Ren has a heart."

Ah Liu: "..." All right, it's good to stay here, it's just convenient for her to chat with Nangong Ling alone.

Coincidentally, the guest room that Ren Ci arranged for them happened to be very close to the residences of Hong Qi and Nangong Ling.

Ah Liu went to the roof of Nangong Lingfang at night, thinking that if she bumped into Wuhua, it would be better to arrest him on the spot.

As a result, Wuhua didn't show up, but Nangongling sat under the eaves in the middle of the night because she couldn't sleep.

A Liu was speechless, and she understood why she was getting sick repeatedly.

But she couldn't bear to see the little girl catch a cold, so she had to come down from the roof to persuade her.

Nangong Ling was taken aback by her at first, and looked quite wary, probably thinking she was a fool.

After seeing that it was her, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Young Master Chu? Why did you..."

"I drank too much, I came out to sober up, and then I saw you." A Liu walked over and wrapped her with his coat directly, "It's heavy in the middle of the night, weren't you still sick before, why don't you put on an extra coat stop."

Nangong Ling didn't refuse, but murmured in a low voice, if there are a few more illnesses, the master will feel sorry for me, so maybe he will agree to it.

Ah Liu: "..." No need!

She also sat down under the eaves, and said: "Actually, after you and little brother Hong left tonight, I helped you persuade the leader Ren, and he has already agreed to let you go out to practice together."

"Really?" The little girl's voice clearly rose, "Master really agreed?"

"What did I lie to you for?" A Liu asked back with a smile, "If you don't believe me, you can ask him tomorrow."

Nangong Ling's eyes lit up, and she could hardly hold back the smile on her lips.

A little girl of her age is definitely much cuter when she smiles than with a sad face.

At least at this moment, Ah Liu saw it, and couldn't remember the Nangong Ling in the original work at all. He only felt that it was cute and soft, so he couldn't help but reached out and touched the top of her hair.

Not only did Nangong Ling not hide, but she even pursed her lips, and smiled back at her, saying, "Young Master Chu, you are really a good person."

A Liu: "..." Is this counted as receiving a card?It should count too.

I didn't expect that the Bandit Commander's first good person card was received from Nangong Ling!
