Bang!

In the blink of an eye, there was only a muffled sound.

Li Fu flew backwards and hit the ground heavily, splashing a cloud of dust.

But the dirty little beggar stood there, keeping his fist in the air, motionless.

Instantly.

The surroundings became quiet.

When everyone saw this scene, they all widened their eyes, opened their mouths slightly, and looked incredulous.

Not to mention them, even Xiao Rongxue was a little confused.

This little beggar clearly did not have any spiritual fluctuations, so why could he punch a middle-aged man of the ninth rank?

Ren Pingsheng, on the other hand, realized something, staring at the little beggar's fist with a red glow, his eyes deep.

"Did you see anything?"

After a few breaths, Xiao Rongxue looked at Ren Pingsheng beside him and asked softly.

Ren Pingsheng looked calm and answered in a low voice: "She is a barbarian cultivator."

Most cultivators in the world can be divided into two categories.

One category cultivates the power of luck.

The other type is to cultivate oneself.

Let's not talk about the former for now. As for the latter, cultivation is inseparable from the three major elements, Qi, blood, and Yuanshen.

Qi and blood are the so-called physical body, and Yuanshen is the so-called soul.

Different cultivation systems have different emphases on these three.

For example, Taoism focuses on practicing Qi, supplemented by cultivating Yuanshen, and does not pay attention to blood.

Warriors practice both Qi and blood, but do not pay attention to Yuanshen.

There is a cultivation system that only pays attention to blood, neither practicing Qi nor cultivating Yuanshen, and relies entirely on a strong physique when fighting.

In the eyes of the world, warriors are just vulgar, and this kind of cultivation system is a symbol of barbarism, so it is called barbaric cultivation.

"Barbaric cultivation?"

Xiao Rongxue was slightly startled.

She hasn't heard this word for a long time.

"After the martial saint proved the Tao, didn't there no barbaric cultivation in the Great Zhou?"

"No in the Great Zhou doesn't mean there are no other places."

Ren Pingsheng stared at the little beggar, and his voice unconsciously lowered.

Xiao Rongxue was startled again, but soon reacted. Her pupils shrank and she whispered, "You mean, she is a barbarian?"

Ren Pingsheng neither denied nor confirmed.

Having lived in the northern border for twenty years, he was much more familiar with barbarians than Xiao Rongxue.

The little beggar in front of him had a very strange accent, most likely the dialect of a tribe of barbarians.

The cultivation system could also match.

The only problem was that she was too short, looking less than 1.6 meters tall.

You know, the average height of adult women in the barbarians was 1.9 meters, and women 2 meters tall could be seen everywhere.

Although the little beggar in front of him looked only 14 or 15 years old, she was still too short at 1.6 meters compared to barbarians of the same age. It was no exaggeration to say that she was a dwarf.

Of course.

The most important thing was that the barbarian tribe was not far from Yongning County, but it was probably not much different.

How could a 14 or 15-year-old barbarian girl come here alone?

It was totally unreasonable.

On the side.

Xiao Rongxue realized it later and muttered, "No, this Yong'an County is remote and poor, and it's far from the northern border. Why did the barbarians come here?"

Ren Pingsheng glanced at her and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Hearing this, Xiao Rongxue realized something, her eyes sank, and she whispered, "You mean, she is also here for the secret realm?"

Ren Pingsheng was only a seventh-rank and did not have the ability to transmit sound into the ear. He whispered, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Hearing this, Xiao Rongxue turned her head to look at the little beggar and looked at her carefully.

The little face was dirty, the hair was black, the clothes on the body were tattered and covered with dust. If you didn't know, you would think it was fished out of the mud.

The two thin arms exposed were tanned black.

At first glance, it looked like a little beggar who had been wandering for several months and had never bathed.

Looking closely...it was still the same.

"It's clearly just a little beggar."

Miss Xiao looked at it for a long time, but she didn't think she could be related to the secret realm.

On the other side

The passers-by around came to their senses, lowered their voices, and advised the girl: "That Li Fu is from the Li family, you can't afford to offend him, little girl."

"Hurry up and leave, it will be too late if you don't leave now."

The girl held the bowl and said in poor Da Zhou official language: "Wo Buzha, I want to go to the city to find food."

"You are a little girl from another place. You have offended the Li family. Even if you know some boxing, you can't beat those officials in the city. Listen to your uncle and run quickly."

A middle-aged farmer persuaded anxiously.

The girl turned a deaf ear and opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

At this time.

A burst of hurried footsteps sounded.

Following closely, several constables in tight clothes with swords on their waists came over.

Not yet in front of him.

Li Fu, who was lying on the ground, shouted loudly: "She attacked me in broad daylight! Catch her quickly!"

The leading constable walked straight to the girl and said coldly: "Come with us."

The girl's dirty face showed a vigilant look, and her accent was strange: "I don't know you, where are you taking me?"

Another constable sneered: "Where? To eat prison food!"

As soon as the voice fell.

A light burst out in the girl's eyes, and her face was excited: "Eat?"

The two words were pronounced clearly, and there was no accent at all.

"..."

Several constables were stunned.

"I'm talking about eating prison food, not eating!"

The catcher's face twisted together, looking fierce, and he said sternly.

"You want to take me to dinner..."

The girl burst into tears and looked as if she was deeply moved: "You are a good person."

"..."

When the policeman saw that she was no longer pretending, he was speechless for a moment.

After a while, he scolded: "How dare you act stupid at this time! Stop talking nonsense and follow me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I'll go with you and eat rice."

"Prison food is not fishing food."

The policeman was a little helpless. He looked at the girl and said angrily: "I'm warning you, don't even think about escaping..."

Talking and talking.

He saw the girl looking at him with clear and expectant eyes.

I can't say what happened next.

"Forget it, come with me."

The detective sighed, turned and walked towards the city.

The girl didn't resist and followed him happily.

Li Fu was a little confused when he saw this scene.

He always felt that things shouldn't be like this, but he didn't know what was wrong.

He obediently followed the arrester to go to jail.

What could he say?

You can't just drag someone over and beat them up.

The passers-by around him didn’t know what to say.

After all, the little girl followed the arrester by herself, and she looked very happy.

Stopping her would make her even more angry.

for a while.

There was an eerie silence on both sides of the official road.

Just at this time.

Ren Pingsheng suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"

The detective stopped, turned to look at him, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ren Pingsheng said calmly: "I have taken a liking to this person, you can't take her away."

The policeman was startled and looked at him carefully.

Seeing him riding a tall horse with three jade pendants on his waist, he looked hesitant on his face.

The young man in front of me looked like he was out for training. There was no need to argue with him over a silly little beggar.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said in a deep voice: "According to the law, those who commit murder and hurt others will be whipped twenty times. If they want to be exempted from the punishment, they must pay ten taels of silver."

The implication is that after paying ten taels of silver, the matter was over.

As for Li Fu...

He is just a housekeeper of the Li family. If he has a dispute with a poor person, he can turn on him.

Compared with the young master from aristocratic family or the experienced young knight, he is nothing.

"Injuring someone?"

Ren Pingsheng sneered, pointed at Li Fu, and said sternly: "This person buys and sells by force and oppresses the people. She sees injustice on the road and acts chivalrously. What's wrong with her?"

aside.

When Xiao Rongxue heard this, she was slightly startled, and her expression changed when she looked at Ren Pingsheng.

She originally thought that with Ren Shengsheng's calm behavior, she would pay ten taels of silver to settle the matter.

But he didn't expect that he would go forward forcefully.

opposite.

Li Fu and the detectives were also startled. They didn't expect that this young man would not step down even if he gave them a step.

There was silence for a few seconds.

The leading police officer said solemnly: "Whether it is an act of violence or injury or a chivalrous and righteous act, it doesn't matter what I say, and it doesn't matter what you two say. If you get into a dispute, it's nothing more than going to the Yamen to see the magistrate for judgment. How to deal with it, you two." Weigh it yourself.”

After saying that, he silently took a few steps back.

The meaning is very clear. You two can discuss what to do. If the negotiation fails, we will go to the Yamen.

Hmm...standard and thin mud.

When Li Fu saw that the police officer was staying away from the incident, he cursed a few words in his mind and raised his eyes to carefully look at Ren Pingsheng.

Although he was only in ordinary high-end clothing, the noble temperament he displayed in every gesture was unmatched by anyone he had ever seen.

"This person is unfathomable. I'm afraid even the master may not be able to offend him."

This is the thought.

Li Fu stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and squeezed out a smile: "Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding..."

"I have seen you oppress good people with my own eyes. There is nothing to misunderstand."

Ren Pingsheng controlled the horse, came to Li Fu, looked down at him condescendingly, and said in a cold tone: "You just need to tell me, which family's dog you are from?"

The words fell.

It was quiet again.

"Something big is going to happen."

The leading detective's heart sank and he whispered: "You guys stay here and I'll go back and report to the county magistrate."

After that, leave quickly.

Strong murderous intent rushed towards his face. Li Fu raised his head and looked at Ren Pingsheng, who was above him, and his heart sank to the bottom.

After a slight hesitation, he forced a smile and answered obediently: "Xiao, Xiao is the housekeeper of the Li Mansion."

His voice was trembling, and he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction from beginning to end.

Ren Pingsheng looked at him coldly, his voice full of chill: "I'll give you a chance to tell you all the dirty things that the Li family has done secretly in recent years, and I will spare your life."

A matter of persuasion?

Could he be an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court?

When this thought came to his mind, Li Fu was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, everyone in the Li family is law-abiding and kind-hearted people. My master would give out money to help the people on weekdays. How could he... "

The words are not finished yet.

A cold light suddenly appeared, and a bloodstain appeared out of thin air on his face.

Followed by a scolding: "Stop talking nonsense! Either talk or die!"

"Sir, please spare my life!"

Li Fu reached out and touched his face. When he saw the blood, he was so frightened that he cried out. He knelt on the ground and begged loudly for mercy.

All around.

No matter the police, passers-by, or farmers, they were all stunned when they saw this scene.

They never expected it.

The housekeeper of the Li Mansion, who had always been aloof and arrogant, was now like a dog, kneeling at the feet of a strange young man, wagging his tail and begging for mercy.

behind.

Xiao Rongxue was a little confused when she saw this scene.

Not because of Li Fu, but because of Ren Pingsheng.

How does she feel that Ren Pingsheng is a little different today?

After all, in the past, he would most likely not care about evil deeds that he had not witnessed with his own eyes.

"It seems you want to die."

Ren Pingsheng's tone was cold and he held the broken knife.

The sun shines on the blade, reflecting a bit of cold light.

Facing death, Li Fu's psychological defense collapsed instantly, and he cried and confessed: "Sir, please spare my life, but I will tell you everything!"

Immediately afterwards, he began to list the crimes committed by everyone in the Li family.

Including but not limited to robbing women, committing murders, collusion between officials and businessmen, raising food prices, seeking profits, etc.

"That's all, I really can't think of anything else."

After two sticks of incense, Li Fu knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

Ren Pingsheng kept everything he said in mind and turned to look at the ragged barbarian girl.

She stood there, her bright and dark eyes showing clarity that was not contaminated by knowledge.

At the same time, I was still a little confused.

He seemed to not understand why the man broke his promise and promised to take him to jail, but then turned around and ran away.

"what's your name?"

Ren Pingsheng looked at her and asked softly.

When he asked her name, the girl's dirty little face showed a wary look and she did not answer.

"What about the stupidity of being abducted by someone using prison food just now? Now I will be more vigilant."

Ren Pingsheng complained in his mind, thought about it, and then asked: "I want to invite you to dinner, do you want to go?"

"go!"

Hearing that he wanted to treat her to dinner, the girl's eyes lit up and she nodded excitedly.

"I have been hungry for several days, and my eyes gleam when I hear about eating."

Ren Pingsheng cursed, looked at Xiao Rongxue, and warned: "You watch her here, I'll go to the city and be back soon."

"Would you like some help?"

Xiao Rongxue knew what he was going to do and asked in a low voice.

Ren Pingsheng said calmly: "No need."

After saying that, he pulled the reins and controlled the horse to run wildly towards the city.

Li Fu just explained.

In the Li family, the most powerful person is the worshiper. He just entered the fifth level some time ago and his foundation is not yet solid.

Although Ren Pingsheng is only at the seventh level, there is no problem in dealing with him.

Even if the information is wrong, he can easily get out of trouble with the soft armor gifted by the emperor and the talisman of the little heavenly master.

behind.

Xiao Rongxue watched Ren Pingsheng's back gradually disappear from her sight, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

In the past two days, she and Ren Pingsheng had robbed the rich and given to the poor, acting chivalrously and righteously. She felt more and more, wasn't this the sword-fighting world she had dreamed of?

If only I could keep going like this.

Unfortunately……

After all, all this is just an episode on the way to the secret realm. Once the mission of exploring the secret realm is over, it will return to its original state.

This is the thought.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, got off her horse, and came to the savage young girl.

They were about to start a conversation, but before they could speak, the girl looked worried and asked in a low voice: "Will he come back?"

"nature."

After saying that, he added: "Since he promised to invite the girl to dinner, he will definitely not break his promise. Don't worry, girl."

"Um."

The girl nodded and said nothing, but her eyes looked in the direction Ren Pingsheng left from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Rongxue asked tentatively: "How about taking the girl to a restaurant to fill her belly first?"

"Every day my stomach..."

There was a confused look in the girl's eyes, as if she didn't understand what it meant.

Xiao Rongxue explained: "It's just eating."

When she heard the word "eat", the girl's eyes instantly lit up. Without any hesitation, she nodded heavily: "Okay!"

How long have you been hungry?

His eyes were glowing green.

Xiao Rongxue thought so in her heart and said, "Follow me."

After saying that, he took the horse and walked towards the county town.

The girl didn't hesitate and followed obediently.

After two sticks of incense.

Xiao Rongxue found a noodle stall near the city gate, took out a few coins from her arms and slapped them on the table: "Here is a bowl of plain noodles."

"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir!"

The noodle stall owner responded and started making noodles.

"Girl, let's have a bowl of noodles first and wait for Ren Shengsheng, the one who invited you to dinner just now, to come back. Then we can go to the restaurant to have a good meal... Hey, where is the person?"

Xiao Rongxue turned around halfway through her words and found that there was nothing beside her.

After looking around, he found the girl standing next to the noodle stall owner, staring at the dough without blinking and swallowing her saliva.

"Can you swallow just looking at the dough?" Xiao Rongxue was speechless for a moment.

The noodle stall owner felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like this, so he waved his hand, trying to drive her out.

at this time.

The girl raised the broken bowl in her hand, held it in her chest, looked at the noodle stall owner with tears in her eyes, and said pitifully: "Master is kind-hearted and does good deeds. Please give me a bite to eat."

This sentence was spoken with a clear accent, and there was no accent at all.

"How many times do you have to say it before you become so familiar with it?"

The corners of Xiao Rongxue's eyes twitched and she reminded her, "Girl, the bowl of plain noodles I want is yours."

After hearing her reminder, the girl finally reacted, walked up to her, and scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "I'm used to it."

I can see it.

Xiao Rongxue replied in her heart, and pulled a bench over: "Sit down and rest for a while, a bowl of plain noodles, it won't take long."

"Thank you."

The girl sat down obediently, looked at Xiao Rongxue with clear eyes, and said with emotion: "You are a good person."

Xiao Rongxue just remained silent.

At this time, the voice of the noodle stall owner sounded.

"A bowl of plain noodles!"

A bowl of steaming hot plain noodles was placed on the table.

Instantly.

The girl's eyes shifted to the plain noodles and swallowed her saliva.

"Eat it."

Xiao Rongxue's voice had just fallen.

The girl picked up the chopsticks and ate voraciously.

"It's hot! Slow down!"

Xiao Rongxue was startled and reminded hurriedly.

The girl ignored him and kept eating.

After a while.

A bowl of plain noodles was about to be finished.

At this time

The girl suddenly stopped and stared at the remaining noodles in the bowl. Her dirty little face showed a tangled look, as if she was facing an important decision.

After a few breaths, she finally made up her mind and pushed the bowl to Xiao Rongxue opposite her, whispering: "There's more, for you."

"Is this... for me?"

Xiao Rongxue was stunned.

Looking at the bowl with only a few noodles left, and then looking at the girl staring at the bowl and swallowing her saliva, a warm current surged in her heart, and she smiled: "I'm not hungry."

"Really?" The girl blinked and asked.

"Really." Xiao Rongxue nodded.

"Then I'll eat..."

Before she finished speaking, the girl had already put the remaining noodles into her mouth, and then she picked up the bowl and drank the noodle soup in big gulps.

Before Xiao Rongxue could react, the bowl of plain noodles was completely empty, without even a bit of noodle soup left.

It is no exaggeration to say that the bowl is cleaner than a dog licking it.

"..."

Xiao Rongxue was silent for a long time, and asked tentatively: "How about... another bowl?"
