Xiang Yao turned around and looked at the figure in front of him with shock. ...
"Are you... Li Manqing?"
"That's right! I guess you have some eyesight, bitch like you."
When Li Manqing rushed to Tianlao, he happened to see Xue Caiyue being chased, so he followed him all the way.
"Xiao Li Feidao's reputation has long since declined. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"
Xiang Yao reluctantly pulled out the flying knife on his wrist and shouted.
"Can you still use the sword?"
Li Manqing sneered.
"court death!"
Xiang Yao's eyes turned cold, his left hand reached towards his waist, he pulled out a short sword and rushed forward.
In his opinion, Li Manqing's knife attack just now was a sneak attack.
If you are on guard, the opponent's flying knife may not be able to hit you.
Moreover, he has also mastered the swordsmanship with his left hand, and is confident that he can kill his opponent in ten moves after getting close.
But after a moment, he knew he was wrong.
"Whoosh..."
Another flying knife came.
The angle was extremely precise, there was no way to avoid it, and the first hit was on the left wrist.
"Keng!"
Xiang Yao was in pain and his dagger fell to the ground.
"how?"
Li Manqing smiled, did a forward somersault, and jumped in front of Xiang Yao.
"puff!"
He raised his hand and tapped Xiang Yao's acupuncture points, then rummaged around on his body and soon found two small medicine bottles.
One red and one blue.
The red color is Shixiang Ruanjin Powder, and the blue color should be the antidote.
He walked to the unconscious Xue Caiyue, lifted her up and leaned her in his arms.
A burst of girl's fragrant breath hit her face, and Li Manqing couldn't help but take a look at her.
Snow-white and flawless skin, a face as smooth as jade.
Not to mention the body shape, the undulating mountains...
"What a lovely boy!"
Li Manqing couldn't help but praise, then opened the small blue medicine bottle and shook it under her nose.
After a while, Xue Caiyue's pretty face regained some color, but she was still unconscious.
This is caused by the poison on the arrow penetrating deep into the heart. The poison must be stopped as soon as possible, otherwise his life will be in danger.
There was no other way, so Li Manqing had to take out the poisonous arrow for Xue Caiyue and then detoxify her.
"laugh!"
The snow was white, and Li Manqing's heart trembled.
After calming down, he lit a flame, roasted it on the flame with a knife, and gouged out the part where the arrow was hit...
After working for about a quarter of an hour, he dug out the poisonous arrows and the surrounding rotten muscles, and then applied the golden sore medicine he brought with him.
At this time, Xue Caiyue woke up due to severe pain.
Seeing that he was leaning in a man's arms, the poisonous arrow had been pulled out, and the wound had been treated, a warm current suddenly surged in his heart.
Then a hint of shyness appeared on her pretty face.
"Did you save me?"
"Well, you are still very weak and need to be nursed back to health!"
Hearing Li Manqing's voice, Xue Caiyue was startled and suddenly broke away from his arms.
"Is it you, Li Manqing?"
After seeing the other person's face clearly, the shyness on his face was replaced by anger.
Trembling to draw the sword.
"Can you kill me like this?"
"Kill even if you can't!"
Xue Caiyue held the sword and raised her hand hard, big beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.
In the end, he couldn't hold on any longer, and his body leaned forward, about to fall to the ground.
Li Manqing took action to support her and let her lean against the tree.
"I don't want your help!"
Xue Caiyue said stubbornly.
Li Manqing was a little unhappy: "Why are you so ignorant? If it weren't for me, you would have been defiled by that thief and ended up in hell!"
"The so-called clear distinction between grudges and right from wrong. If you want to kill me to avenge your father, you must first repay me for saving my life!"
This statement makes sense and is irrefutable.
The angry look on Xue Caiyue's face finally disappeared.
"How do you want me to repay your kindness?"
Seeing the fiery gaze of the other party looking at her, Xue Caiyue couldn't help but tighten her clothes on her chest, for fear that Li Manqing would make a request similar to 'promise her with her body'.
"It's very simple. I just need you to listen patiently to what I have to say."
Xue Caiyue was a little surprised. She thought that the other party would make some excessive demands, but unexpectedly she just let herself listen to him.
"Speaking!"
Li Manqing took out a piece of yellowed letterhead from his arms and handed it to Xue Caiyue.
"I know you want to kill me to avenge your father, but I want to tell you that you shouldn't bear grudges against me at all.
Death and injury are inevitable in martial arts competitions. I only injured your father back then, but there was another person who killed your father. And before the competition, I had no idea that he was injured, so naturally I had to go all out. "
Xue Caiyue naturally didn't believe this statement.
Picked up the letter and read it over.
This is a letter of challenge, more radical than the words I wrote to Li Manqing, full of insults and provocations.
Xue Caiyue frowned slightly: "Is this a letter of challenge written by my father to you?"
"Exactly! If someone threatened you with this tone, would you fight or not?"
Xue Caiyue lowered her head and said nothing.
The hatred towards Li Manqing in my heart has faded a lot.
Previously, she had always thought that Li Manqing was a villain seeking fame and reputation, plotting against her father in order to win the duel.
Now it seems that is not the case.
If Li Manqing was a villain, he would have taken advantage of the opportunity when he detoxified himself just now...
"Mr. Manqing, this little girl will never forget your life-saving grace. However, the duel between you and me is inevitable. This is my father's legacy."
"I understand!"...
Li Manqing nodded: "If you want to challenge me for a duel, you must first remove the remaining poison from your body. I will accompany you to the Lin'an government office to get the antidote!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to support Xue Caiyue's waist.
The other party did not refuse, and clouds appeared on his face.
Walking in front of Xiang Yao, Xue Caiyue suddenly became angry.
"I'll kill this thief!"
"Don't kill him yet, I will use it to save Zheng'er."
Half an hour later, the three of them arrived in front of the Lin'an government office in a carriage.
"You wait for a while. After rescuing Zheng'er, I will get you the antidote."
Li Manqing escorted Xiang Yao to Zhao Guang's mansion.
At this time, it was late at night.
Zhao Guang had been fighting fiercely with a concubine of Xin Na for a long time. He was so tired that he slept like a dead pig.
Suddenly, the butler looked hurriedly and went to knock on the door.
"Master, there is a person outside the door asking to see you."
Zhao Guang was woken up and replied irritably: "Who is it? It's so late at night. Let him come to me tomorrow!"
"The person who came here calls himself Li Manqing, and he has a person in custody, saying he must see you."
"Li Manqing?"
Zhao Guang became alert, immediately got up and got dressed, and then called all the servants and guards.
"Li Manqing, what do you...want to do?"
When Zhao Guang saw Xiang Yao being controlled, an unpleasant feeling came to his heart.
"Let Li Zheng go immediately, and I won't embarrass you!"
"snort!"
Zhao Guang snorted coldly: "Li Zheng beats a good citizen in full view of the public and must be severely punished under the law!"
Li Manqing was too lazy to argue with him and pushed Xiang Yao forward.
"Do you know this man? He is a flower-picking thief wanted by the government."
Zhao Guang pretended to be surprised: "Oh? So you are sent to be punished in the future? Then I want to thank you on behalf of the people of Lin'an City."
"Zhao Guang, stop pretending. This man confessed that he bribed you with a lot of money, and he has been exonerated. He also became your pawn."
"No way, I don't know him at all."
Li Manqing knew that Zhao Guang would quibble.
Before coming, Xiang Yao had been fed a highly poisonous pill. If he did not take the antidote for an hour, he would bleed from his orifices and die.
At this time, Liu Yong, a large group of arresters, and people watching the excitement gathered around.
"puff!"
Seeing that the heat had arrived, Li Manqing unlocked Xiang Yao's acupuncture points.
Xiang Yao stepped forward, pointed at Zhao Guang and said: "Old thief, you accepted one white and two gold from me, and you still don't want to admit it. Do you believe that I will expose all the scandals you have done?"
Zhao Guang panicked and waved his hands quickly: "This lunatic, don't believe what he says!"
"You still want to deny it. The gold I gave you has special patterns engraved on it. If I search your house now, I should still be able to find it."
"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense!"
Zhao Guang panicked, with a look of panic on his face.
With his guilty expression, everyone basically believed Xiang Yao's words.
"According to the laws of this dynasty, if an official embezzles five hundred taels of silver, he shall be beheaded. If Zhao Guang accepts a bribe of two taels of gold, won't he be sentenced to death?"
The people hated corrupt officials the most. When they heard this, they immediately rallied to attack them.
"Zhao Guang, this traitor, embezzles more than a hundred taels of gold? Every year, he plunders at least a hundred thousand taels of silver from the people of Lin'an."
"Ah, there are so many. I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to destroy all nine of his tribes!"
"He also occupied countless fertile fields. He occupied fifty acres of my uncle's land."
