Chapter 244: Revocation of the Bounty
Chapter 244: Revocation of the Bounty
Qu Xuanyue and Dao Sheng looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and puzzlement. They stood there blankly, and neither of them planned to take action first.
"How about, let's talk more?" Shan Zimo came between the two of them with a grin.
Dao Sheng seized the opportunity and swung his sword towards Shan Zimo.
At this moment, a fluorescent green light flashed behind Shan Zimo, and the Qi state of Qu Xuanyue's body actually lit up! The rolling airflow circulated back and forth in her fluorescent green Qi state! The next second, Qu Xuanyue flashed in front of Shan Zimo, and the lightning phantom blade popped out from under her wrist, firmly resisting the chopped big knife!
"Do you really want to go against me?" Dao Sheng retreated a few steps, with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Why is this happening?"
"Because..." Xuanyue's eyes gradually turned red, with a hint of warmth in her gentleness. Then she looked at Dao Sheng firmly, "Because I like him!"
"Oh~" the crowd responded in unison, "There's something emotional about this!"
"Did you see what was going on?" asked the spectator who didn't understand the situation.
"It seems like two sisters are fighting over a man!"
"Why did I hear that they were arresting important criminals of the imperial court?"
Dao Sheng suddenly stopped, holding the knife tightly in his hand, but his body trembled involuntarily, and his heroic face was full of disbelief and shock!
"But," Dao Sheng calmed himself down and said softly to Qu Xuanyue, "He is a wanted criminal with a bounty on his head by the imperial court. He has dozens of lives on his shoulders!"
"I know all of this," Xuanyue's hand holding the Lightning Blade trembled constantly, tears flashing in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall, but she could not hide the helplessness and pleading in her eyes, "I was there when those things happened, things are really not as the bounty order says, sister doesn't believe in Young Master Shan, don't you believe in me too?"
Shan Zimo still walked between the two people with a smile on his face, "So, there is a big misunderstanding here. Let's find a place to sit down and have a good talk, okay?"
After that, Shan Zimo stretched out a hand, intending to shake hands with Dao Sheng, but she forgot that there was no such etiquette in this alien world. Dao Sheng just thought that Shan Zimo was playing tricks again and launched an offensive against her!
Dao Sheng met Shan Zimo's hand, and Shan Zimo was overjoyed, but the next second, Dao Sheng's enormous strength pulled Shan Zimo up, swung him in the air, and threw him towards the gate of the yamen!
Shan Zimo's mind was blank at this moment, his internal energy was slightly activated, and all the true energy in his body was gone! With a loud bang, Shan Zimo was thrown to the gate of the government office, and the gate was knocked open!
Shan Zimo struggled to get up from the ground, holding his waist with both hands and twisting his neck, "Just do it now!"
With a loud noise, the gate of the yamen opened, and a team of constables and yamen runners rushed out and quickly surrounded Shan Zimo and the other two! Then, the governor of Hefeng Town came in leisurely, watching every move outside with a righteous look on his face.
"Sir!" Dao Sheng shouted, "This man is Shan Zimo, a wanted criminal of the imperial court. He must be brought to justice today!"
Then there was deathly silence!
"Sir!" Dao Sheng shouted again.
An old man ran out from behind the pacification commissioner. Judging from his attire, he was the legal advisor of the yamen. He handed the pacification commissioner a circle of paper.
The pacification envoy threw the roll of paper over and pointed at the words on it. "Look carefully, this is the cancellation order of Shan Zimo's bounty order!"
"How could this happen?" Dao Sheng ran over and carefully looked at the revocation order.
"What a coincidence?" Shan Zimo stroked his chest and staggered forward, "Ha! This young master is free! Sister Dao, you are one step late!"
"This is the cancellation order we just received this morning. There is no more bounty on the entire Wu Kingdom. Young master, do you have any questions?" The pacification envoy looked at Dao Sheng who had a confused look on his face.
"No, no more." Dao Sheng put his sword back into the scabbard like a deflated balloon. He turned around and said coldly to Shan Zimo, "Congratulations, young master Shan!" He was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Xuanyue behind him.
"Where are you going, sister?"
"Since this target is no longer valuable, we should naturally look for the next one!" Dao Sheng had a kind and gentle expression on his face, which was rare to see. He took Xuanyue's hand and said, "Don't blame me for my move just now."
"No!" Qu Xuanyue pulled Dao Sheng to Shan Zimo's side and said, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved and we've met again after a long time, why don't we sit down and have a good talk!"
"I'm fine with anything," Shan Zimo still looked cynical.
Dao Sheng seemed a little embarrassed, but Yi Yan Hui who came over broke the awkwardness, "Miss Dao, come along, we can get to know each other again." Seeing Yi Yan Hui's kind eyes, Dao Sheng nodded and followed Xuan Yue to Shunyi Inn.
"Are you here?" Yu Wenlin stood in front of the Shunyi Inn, looking out. "Didn't they say the fight was over?"
"Young Master, didn't we just get back?" Jian Yun looked at Yu Wenlin happily. Everyone was happy from the bottom of their hearts when they found Shan Zimo.
"I haven't seen you for dozens of days. I really miss you!" Yuwen Lin rubbed his hands and paced back and forth in the lobby.
"Yuwenlin!"
Shan Zimo's voice came from outside the door. Yu Wenlin turned around suddenly, facing the light, and saw a servant standing in front of the door in a coarse cloth short-sleeved shirt and long pants. He scratched his head and asked, "Am I hallucinating?"
"What? You don't recognize me?" Shan Zimo had already walked into the lobby, put his arms around Yu Wenlin's neck, and put his fist against his head.
"Zimo, it's really you!" Yuwen Lin broke free, hugged Shan Zimo's arms and squeezed them, "You've lost weight! Look at me again, I've suffered a lot for you!"
"I know, I know!" Shan Zimo gently punched Yu Wenlin's thin chest.
Yuwenlin continued to look back and saw a servant with blood all over his face. He squinted his eyes to identify him carefully, "Hey, Bai Yu!" He walked up to Shan Bai Yu and looked him up and down, "You also suffered a lot with Zimo!"
Shan Boyu nodded vigorously!
The innkeeper took Shan Zimo and Shan Boyu to bathe and change clothes, while the others waited in the private room.
Ever since Qu Xuanyue made her bold confession, she felt very awkward wherever she went. However, Zi Ling'er would laugh from time to time, and even laugh out loud.
"Sorry for the long wait!" Shan Zimo pushed the door and entered the private room. He changed into a bright white robe with dark dragon scale patterns that he hadn't worn for a long time. He put his hair up in a high ponytail and wore a emerald feather crown. The corners of his mouth were raised, his eyes were bright, and his eyes were flashing with a mixture of unruly and gentle light.
Behind him was Shan Boyu, whose nose was swollen high. He also changed into his light blue robe, looking neat and tidy.
It was the first time that Dao Sheng saw Shan Zimo like this. His eyes widened and he was so attracted to him that he couldn't extricate himself.
With a puff, she pulled Dao Sheng back, only to see Xuan Yuezhen beside her looking at her and grinning!
Shan Zimo sat down in front of the Bailingtai, and suddenly he became unruly, leaning on the side and looking at him, pretending to cry, "Master, do you know how we have been living these days?"
"Stop pretending to cry!" Yu Wenlin saw through his trick at a glance, "Who will be better off!"
