Upon hearing Yin Xiu's invitation, Lam Pou-yee bowed subconsciously."This brother is..." After a pause, Raymond Lam suddenly remembered that they didn't actually know each other, and even the beautiful woman over there was the first time he saw her, and there was no intersection between the two sides. Even if he forgot who the man in front of him was, he would never forget the face of the beautiful woman he had seen. Not good! Bowie Lam was nervous, fearing that he might have encountered an assassin or some other trouble. It happened at this very moment, he was so unlucky that even drinking cold water would get stuck in his teeth! He frowned, and before he could come up with a plan, the clever master on the other side had already seen the clues and immediately shouted loudly: "Protect the emperor!" The government troops on both sides responded immediately. Anyone who can serve as the guard of General Zhennan must be an expert, especially the commander of the guards. He immediately reached for his knife. There was no imagined sound of metal clashing as a long sword was unsheathed, no murderous aura, and even less shouting.
The commander of the guards was stunned, because Yin Xiu had come to his side without him knowing when, and gently pressed the knife he had pulled out back into his hand. The commander was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and didn't even dare to lift a finger. Seeing this, the others immediately drew their swords and attacked Yin Xiu. Yin Xiu just stood there without even raising his hand. Then the commander was horrified to find that his subordinates and colleagues, who killed people more easily than eating, were just slashing around randomly. Yin Xiu was clearly right in front of them, but the guards swung their swords and hit the tables, chairs, pillars and the ground. Some of them even almost cut Lam Pou-yee's hat in half. Seeing this, Lam Pou-yee shouted, "Commander Ren, use your golden sword now!" When Yin Xiu heard this name, he turned around and smiled at him, "You are also a model?" "Are we the same family?" "No." Yin Xiu shook his head expressionlessly. "If you're not, don't blame me for being rude!" The commander of the guards shouted loudly and used the sword-drawing technique that he had not used for many years. After a moment, his sword was still in the same place, as if the commander had not pulled it out with force just now. At this point, he had completely lost his confidence and his face became sad. "Master, are you the Dharma King who protects the White Lotus Sect?" Yin Xiu spread his hands, "Do we two look like rebels?" "Resembling." The commander said helplessly. "But I'm not." Yin Xiu walked towards Lam Pou-yee.
At this time, all the civil and military officials who had followed him in a show of arrogance and dominance all stayed where they were, lowering their heads and not daring to raise their eyelids. "An official appointed by the imperial court?" Yin Xiu smiled, then turned to Ma Xiaoyu and said, "An official appointed by the imperial court?" Ma Xiaoyu turned her head away without any interest; she would rather look at the scenery outside. "They are just a bunch of good-for-nothings. Do you really expect them to help you?" When Lam Pou-yee heard this, his face turned red, but he still insisted: "Maybe, I mean maybe, I have done a good job in southern Xinjiang over the years and benefited the local people. I can't be simply called a good-for-nothing, right?" Ma Xiaoyu still didn't look at him, but just pointed a finger behind him. "How good can you be if you hang out with these bugs?" "This……" In the end, Bowie Lam was unable to refute. He knew best the level of his colleagues and subordinates after working with them for so many years. So he didn't respond to Ma Xiaoyu's words, but looked at Yin Xiu, "No matter what, kidnapping and attacking an official of the imperial court are serious crimes punishable by death and the extermination of nine generations of the clan. We have a battalion of soldiers just outside the city. They will be here in less than half an hour." "half an hour?" Yin Xiu smiled, "I believe that with my skills, I can finish the job in less than three minutes. Then when I finish my drink and walk out leisurely, I'm afraid the troops you mentioned may not have arrived yet." "I see." Lam Pou-yee sighed and said, "It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Just do it." "What should I do?" Yin Xiu spread his hands, "If I wanted to kill you, why would I ask you to come for tea?" "Then what exactly do you mean?" Lam Pou-yee was puzzled. Yin Xiu pointed outside and said, "Maybe we can solve the continuous drought." Lam Pou-yee's heart tensed for a moment, "Who are you two?" Ma Xiaoyu didn't answer. He opened his sleeves and a talisman paper flew into the sky. Then dark clouds covered the sky and it turned dark again. "Oh, sorry, it turns out you are two immortal masters." Lam Pou-yee bowed repeatedly and said: "If the two immortal masters can pray for rain, the local people will be saved." Ma Xiaoyu shook her head, and the dark clouds disappeared in an instant, and the scorching sun reappeared in the sky. "We may be a little bit more powerful than those three Taoist priests, but we can't make it rain. No matter who comes, it can't be done." The master certainly knew the difficulty, but he still said unwillingly: "What if the Heavenly Master comes?" "Even if the Heavenly Master comes, it won't work."
"Well?" The master looked at her and did not believe in the two of them like Lam Pou-yee did. After all, he himself was also a Taoist priest, and several of his fellow disciples had failed, which made him even more intolerant of others' success. He said aggressively: "Why do you say that even if the Heavenly Master comes, it won't work?" Ma Xiaoyu said expressionlessly: "Because I am the Heavenly Master." The lawyer was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment. He could say whatever he wanted to say, Ma Xiaoyu didn't care, nor did she care what these people would say. Of course, she was unwilling to take out the Heavenly Master's Order and show it to them. I don’t know what the lawyer is thinking, but Bowie Lam has already confirmed the identities of the two people. So he signaled to everyone not to act rashly, and then asked Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu. "I wonder what solution you two are talking about?" "Please help us find someone first." Ma Xiaoyu took out a rough portrait of Liu Banxian. “He is a Feng Shui master, also known as Liu Banxian. Please help us find him, the sooner the better. If we find him, we may find the cause of the drought in southern Xinjiang. What we can’t solve, he might be able to solve.” Bowie Lam took the portrait carefully. Everyone came over to look at it, and after a long while, they all shook their heads. "do not know." "never seen it." "He doesn't look ordinary, but he looks a bit vulgar. But there are so many vulgar people like him on the street. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find him." "But didn't he say he was a Feng Shui master?" "Wow, if you throw a brick on the street, you can knock down a few people. I bought an official position. Oh, no, I was also a Feng Shui master before I became an official." Everyone's interest and morale were low, and they were obviously unwilling and unable to find Liu Banxian. Ma Xiaoyu sneaked up to Yin Xiu and whispered, "Didn't you say that as long as we acted like we did just now and said a few words, we could make these dog officials work for us? I think they don't seem to be moved." Yin Xiu scratched his face and became more and more contemptuous of these officials. He leaned close to Ma Xiaoyu's ear, and the hot breath he exhaled made her feel itchy. "As long as the knife is not on their necks, these guys will lie there and pretend to be dead dogs. Only when they are scared will they take action." Ma Xiaoyu turned her head away, rubbing her ears as she asked Yin Xiu, "So, you're coming?" "Of course I came." Yin Xiu put a piece of paper on the table with a bang, causing the dishes and chopsticks on the table to fly up. "Okay, if you can't find that person, then look for this one."
That is Ren Qi's wanted portrait. "This man is a wanted criminal of the imperial court, and he is also the most wanted criminal of the imperial court. He was born a bad person, doing all kinds of evil. He would not let anyone go, from an eighty-year-old man to an eight-year-old girl. He is not only a flower thief, but also a born killer. If he doesn't kill two people every day, he will feel itchy all over. When he sleeps at night, you can hear him shouting and killing in his dreams. The most terrifying thing is that he likes to kill high-ranking officials like you the most." "Why?" Bowie Lam's teeth were chattering. "I don't know about that. Just like some people like to kill pigs and some people like to eat dog meat, killing high-ranking officials is his hobby." Yin Xiu was poking his finger at Ren Qi's face, "This bastard, what he likes most is to kill my eldest brother and seduce my sworn sister-in-law. He is hated by everyone and detested by God. Instead of believing that he can lay down his butcher knife and become a Buddha instantly, you might as well believe that I am the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Zhenwu. Is this kind of person dangerous? Should he be arrested?" "He should be cut into pieces!" "Haw him to death! Kill him to death!" Everyone was very excited and immediately engraved Ren Qi's face in their minds. "This drought may be related to him. If I find him, I will burn him as a sacrifice to the heavens, and it may rain." "Really?" In fact, the officials no longer cared about whether it was true or false. Faced with such a heinous criminal of the imperial court, who would not want to kill him? Why would they care about anything else? However, Bowie Lam had his own ideas. Now the severe drought in southern Xinjiang can no longer be concealed. Although this is a "natural disaster", even gods can't do anything about it. However, according to the style of the imperial court, someone must be found to take the blame. With so many people, someone must be held responsible. So why can't it be Ren Qi? Such a wanted criminal of the imperial court, the worst of the worst, could not bring rain even if he was killed. But at the moment, catching this person is considered a great achievement, and it is a great achievement enough to be recorded in local biographies and court archives. To some extent, catching him seemed more important than praying for rain. After all, if all the people here died, they could still transfer a group of people from other places. If the imperial criminals escaped, then... "I've heard of this guy." The master murmured, "He was originally the commander of the Imperial Palace, and was known as one of the four famous swordsmen of Yujing. Later, it was discovered that he was actually an undercover agent of the White Lotus Sect, and was hunted down by the court." "So it's still the White Lotus Sect." Bowie Lam was surprised and delighted. After a pause, he ordered everyone, "Dig three feet into the ground, even if it means digging three feet into the ground, you must find this person for me. Oh, and we also need to find this Feng Shui master. We need two people in total, right? Two immortal masters?" Yin Xiu nodded in satisfaction and handed the wanted list to Lam Po-yee, "Distribute it." There was no need for Lam Pou-yee to give any instructions as other officials had already rushed out to tell their subordinates to do their work.
Ma Xiaoyu secretly pinched Yin Xiu's waist and said, "In just such a short time, you were able to make up so many lies about Ren Qi?" "I didn't make it up." Yin Xiu said seriously. After Lam Po-yee had finished instructing his men on various matters, he respectfully asked Yin Xiu, "Two immortal masters, why don't you stay here first?" “We are very busy.” Yin Xiu opened his pocket watch and glanced at the time. “If you want us to stay, it’s not impossible, but this will be considered a business trip, so we need to strengthen it, and we have some requirements for accommodation and food. After all, we are not monks, so we can't just eat vegetarian food. We need to have eight dishes and one soup for each meal, four cold dishes and four hot dishes, chicken, duck, fish, mutton, and unlimited drinks before we consider staying." "Which sect are you from?" The master was not convinced. "I remember that even though there are many Taoist sects that have no dietary restrictions, they don't have to follow any rules at all, right?" "No problem, Maoshan Sect." Yin Xiu said with a smile. "Maoshan Sect?" The master nodded, "No wonder. Compared with the Shangqing Sect, the Maoshan Taoist priests are indeed not very particular. They are indeed not very particular." Feeling that he seemed to be scolding someone, Yin Xiu smiled and said, "Master, you seem to know a lot about Xuanmen. So what school do you belong to?" "Easy to say." The master opened his fan with a snap and said, "I have practiced in Longhu Mountain for a few years, and I have only learned the basics." "No wonder." Yin Xiu acted as if he suddenly understood something. "What do you mean 'no wonder'?" The master frowned. Yin Xiu said calmly: "Oh, nothing, I just remembered a saying, half a bucket of water is shaking." "you!" Just as the lawyer was about to lose his temper, Bowie Lam stopped him with his eyes. Regardless of whether these two people are the so-called heavenly masters and Taoists, their skills alone are enough to make people unable to afford to offend them. In this way, he could only swallow his anger and his face turned pale. Bowie Lam looked at him again, signaling him not to mess around, then turned around and smiled at Yin Xiu. "My two immortal masters, why don't you just live in the general's mansion? There are some of the best rooms there." "Just be quiet." As Yin Xiu spoke, he glanced at Ma Xiaoyu again and said, "Just give us a room." Ma Xiaoyu didn't say anything, which made Yin Xiu's eyes flash with excitement. However, after Lam Pou-yee nodded, Ma Xiaoyu suddenly said, "Add another bed."
The fire in Yin Xiu's heart disappeared, and the hand that had reached into his pocket retracted again. He sighed and said, "Do as I say, and add another quilt." While Lam Pou-yee and his companions went to find a carriage and ordered the servants to come to the teahouse to pick them up, Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu continued to eat at the table. Suddenly, Ma Xiaoyu put down her chopsticks and looked at Yin Xiu. "Just now, you told him that you wanted a room. Is it because there is no place for us to stay in the general's mansion, or is it because of something else?" Yin Xiu smiled and said, "I thought you were afraid of the cold, so I wanted to squeeze in with you." "Squeeze in?" Ma Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm afraid of the heat." After saying that, she ignored Yin Xiu and just lowered her head to eat in small bites. Yin Xiu smiled awkwardly and glanced at the sun outside. It seemed that there was no sign of it setting, and it was still hanging bright red in the sky. (End of this chapter)
