Chapter 24 Provocation

As soon as she grasped the long whip, the special Buddhist fragrance on the whip was forced into her chest. Lou Shuitian felt a warm current invading her body. Although it was overbearing, it was also refreshing. The poisonous gas that was rampant in her body gradually calmed down.

Lou Shuitian seemed to know something, but she had no time to think about it. The dozen or so soldiers were arrayed in formation, and suddenly they all came towards him.

With Lou Shui's Tianyun Gong in hand, he stretched out his long whip, and the long whip drew a perfect arc in the air. The sound of "clang" was heard continuously, and the spears and swords of the more than ten soldiers were knocked away one after another, and their bodies were also shaken back by a powerful internal force. Lou Shuitian's movements were as fast as lightning, her figure shuttled among the soldiers, and every time she whipped out her whip, she carried a fierce momentum.

In just a short moment, most of the opponent had fallen. The remaining people were caught by the weather force in Lou Shui, and for a moment they did not dare to step forward. She waved her long whip, and a powerful energy instantly knocked those people away. Only Lou Shuitian was left standing proudly on the field, shocking the world.

"good!"

"marvelous!"

"Deputy Lieutenant Lou! Deputy Lieutenant Lou!"

All the people in the Protectorate including Jiang Qintian clapped their hands and cheered.

Lou Shuitian's ears did not hear those cheers. She turned around to look for the person, and finally saw Jiang Jingtan standing on the stone steps not far away.

He was dressed in gray and white robes, and his temperament was cold and pure. It was rare that he didn't have that usual smile on his face, and even looked cold and pale, looking at him from a distance with a complicated expression. The two of them just looked at each other, and all the noise in the world faded away.

After a long while, Jiang Jingtan whispered to Jiang Yusheng: "Take the whip back."

Jiang Yusheng glanced at him and saw that his expression was not open to discussion, so he had no choice but to bow his head and accept.

"This place is really empty and the wind is very strong. Jiang Duhu, let's find a shelter from the wind." Jiang Jingtan said to Jiang Qintian.

His face was as white as snow, as if he really couldn't stand the wind.

"Of course, of course, sir, let's go to the study..." Jiang Qintian said quickly. He glanced at Ying Shuichang, who nodded slightly and continued to observe Lou Shuitian on the court calmly.

Jiang Qintian led Jiang Jingtan and turned around and left.

Lou Shuitian looked at Jiang Jingtan's back. The wind picked up the corners of his clothes, and he seemed to disappear at any moment.

Jiang Yusheng came over, stretched out his hand to her, and said calmly: "Whip."

Lou Shuitian tightened the whip in his hand, "He asked you..."

"Thirteen." Jiang Yusheng suddenly called her, interrupting what she was about to ask.

Jiang Yusheng would not tell her anything, let alone speculate on Jiang Jingtan's words and deeds. If he wanted to know, just ask Jiang Jingtan himself.

The two looked at each other in silence for a long while before Lou Shuitian handed him the whip.

Jiang Yusheng took it and left.

Lou Shuitian was surrounded by many people from the Protectorate, chattering, cheering, and laughing, but Lou Shuitian could only see their shadows, but could not hear any sound. Her thoughts were all on the man in the gray-white cloak and the familiar Buddhist fragrance remaining in her palm.

Jiang Jingtan followed Jiang Qintian into the study and briefly glanced at the furnishings in the room. There are many military books on the shelves and many piles on the desk.

He handed over his hands and said apologetically: "Ah Sheng was on good terms with Shi," he paused, "and Miss Lou. I couldn't see that Miss Lou was at a disadvantage, so I meddle in my own business and took action. I hope the governor will not argue with him."
