"This is a misunderstanding. Five years ago, she betrayed Zhu Yiwei. Now she is just pretending to be Zhu Yiwei to find out information." Jingting smiled slightly.
"Taoist Priest! You have great martial arts skills, but you have a simple mind! She is a Zhu Yiwei! She kills people like crazy, and there is not a word of truth in her mouth! She is using you!" Qian Zhao was very excited.
"On the day of the assassination of Zhou Jian, when I rushed there, she was already trapped in a tight siege, with no possibility of escape."
"She did that to save you!"
"Then she would never lie to me."
Qian Zhao's lips trembled, but he didn't say anything, but his clenched fists trembled slightly.
"I know that Liudaotang and Zhu Yiwei have many grievances, but they are each their own masters. It is not the fault of her, a former Zhu Yiwei."
"Even if everyone is their own master, she still has the blood debt of Liu Daotang. She..."
"Have you never killed Zhu Yiwei? If she wanted to deal with the envoy, everyone in the envoy would have been killed long ago."
"..."
"She used to be Zhu Yiwei. You Ningtou'er also know that. I haven't told you yet because I'm afraid you will overreact. I, Jingting, have made friends with several of your brothers since I came down from the mountain. I believe in you and hope that you will To be able to believe in her as much as you believe in me.”
Jingting smiled slightly and patted Qian Zhao on the shoulder: "Tell her identity of Zhu Yiwei to the rest of the mission. If one day, she really commits betrayal, Pindao will sacrifice his head. Let you take ten thousand taels of gold and be promoted to an official position."
After saying that, Jingting and Qian Zhao passed each other and walked out. Qian Zhao still stood there stupidly, not even noticing the rustling of the withered leaves falling on his shoulders.
"There is wine in the room, let Sun Lang come down from the roof."
Jingting's voice made Qian Zhao wake up from a dream, and when he thought again, the Taoist had disappeared into the courtyard wall of the inn.
Outside the wall of the post house, Ren Ruyi was standing there. She came back a little late, but she heard most of it.
"Let me guess, this poor inn can't even close the door, and it's definitely not soundproof."
When she walked out of the post house and saw Ren Ruyi, Jingting gave her a big smile.
The woman's eyes instantly turned red.
"How come you've become a crybaby after staying with Yang Ying for so long." Jingting hugged Ren Ruyi, stretched out her hand, and gently scraped the tip of Ren Ruyi's nose.
"No."
Sniffing, Ren Ruyi took Jingting's hand.
"The candy man is nice. He gave it to me. It looks so sweet." Jingting noticed that the candy man held in Ren Ruyi's hand looked like a little bunny.
"This is for Yang Ying. Just now... I had a bad attitude towards her."
"Then she won't have a good meal. She and the people in the mission went to a banquet hosted by the local rich family. There are many delicacies from the mountains and seas. As for this, I, the master, can taste it for her."
As he said that, Jingting stretched out his right hand suddenly, and the candy man in Ren Ruyi's hand was in Jingting's hand.
"Hey! Return Gu's candy man quickly."
Not far away, a small figure ran over and pointed at the little bunny candy man in Jingting's hand.
"Then you come and grab it."
Jingting becomes more playful.
"Sister Ruyi~~~Master bullied me~~~" Yang Ying ran up to her and shook Ren Ruyi's arm.
"Don't worry, I'll get it back for you!"
Ren Ruyi patted his chest, his eyes flashed, and he rushed forward with a smile on his face.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Jingting dodged Ren Ruyi's pounce, and took advantage of the moment when the woman's head hit the ground to grab her slender waist. The Taoist shook the candy man in his hand, and the air was filled with the smell of happiness.

"Shen Tuchi invited the delegation to visit Xu Cheng. Why don't you go?"
The delegation rested in Xucheng for a few days. Before leaving, Shen Tuchi invited the delegation to visit. Only Jingting and Ren Ruyi were left in the inn.
In front of the Taoist were several large pots, which were boiling gurglingly and exuding a strong medicinal aroma.
"The envoy invited by Shentu Chi, what am I, a Taoist priest, going to do without any official position or position?"
"Please accompany your apprentice."
Behind Jingting, Ren Ruyi put her hands on her hips and raised her voice slightly.
"Why does it smell a little jealous?"
Phew~
After saying that, the Taoist shrank his head, and a strong wind hung on his head.
"Have you noticed that since you came back from Wu Palace, that girl has become a little dependent on you."
Ren Ruyi pushed Jingting aside and sat on the small stool where Jingting was lighting the fire.
"You told me the reason why I didn't follow the mission. Protecting her all the time may not be a good thing for her. A chick has to learn to fly. Besides, the time for her to take off is not very long."
The stool was taken away by Ren Ruyi, and Jingting could only squat by the firewood with a fan, observing the fire, adding two pieces of chopped firewood from time to time: "Although I didn't show up, Shen Tuchi must know that I am in Xu Cheng, the most he can do is make things difficult, and nothing will really happen. This is a rare opportunity for training."
"That's not what I'm talking about..."
Ren Ruyi's voice was a little strange: "It's... that kind of..."
"What kind?"
"She will look for you. She will ask everywhere when she can't see you. Whenever you go out, she will be restless. Every time I go to class, she will ask where the master is and what he is doing. She has a lover named Zheng Qingyun in the palace. When she first started on the road, she always talked about it, but now she doesn’t mention it anymore.”
"Since she was little, no one has ever pampered or protected her. Now that she has me as her master, it's normal to be a little dependent on her."
Jingting took a big wooden spoon, stirred it a few times in the iron pot, scooped up a little, put it in his mouth and tasted: "The medicine is ready. I went to the city to take a look in the past two days. What Lao Qian said Yes, there are indeed signs of malaria in the city. If these medicines are distributed to the victims, we can go on the road with peace of mind."
Jingting turned around and met Ren Ruyi's death gaze. The woman had her hands folded in front of her chest, her beautiful eyes showing a fierce glare.
Putting the wooden spoon away, Jingting gently held her in his arms: "You know my feelings for you. I will pay more attention during this period. If it is really like what you said, I will go and talk to Yang Ying. .”
Nuzzling gently in Jingting's arms, Ren Ruyi came close to Jingting's ear and bit the Taoist priest's face gently as a demonstration: "Remember! I only have you now. If one day you treat me badly, I’ll chop you up!”
"You don't want to have children?"
"I'll chop you up first! Then I'll have a baby with someone else."
Ren Ruyi wrinkled his nose viciously, but this expression had a hint of cuteness in Jingting's eyes.
"You are really a great heroine. I admire you so much."
"Hmph~"
Leaning in Jingting's arms, the corners of Ren Ruyi's mouth raised.
"Okay~ I understand your feelings for me. Now I am going to distribute these medicines to the refugees in the city. I wonder if Ms. Ren is interested in joining me?"
"Go by yourself. I have to go see your precious apprentice. You are a master who acts like a hands-off shopkeeper. Don't look back. She is really being bullied."
