boom!
Jingting pushed out with a seemingly light palm. The two Zhu Yiwei's hearts were shattered and they vomited blood and died on the spot.
"Jingting, save my mother!"
Ren Ruyi swung his sword horizontally to deflect the two long swords approaching him.
Seeing Jingting fall, Zhu Yiwei was shocked first, and then rushed towards the bound woman, but unfortunately Jingting was faster than her.
The Taoist stepped hard on the ground with one foot, and the strong internal force exploded instantly. Countless dead leaves were shaken into the air. As the Taoist's palms shrank and opened, the yellow fallen leaves rolled up, like countless sharp knives flying out, carving out flowers in the rainy night. A bloody flower.
Flashing to the woman's side, Jingting pulled out the rag that was gagging the woman's mouth, untied the rope, and put his Taoist robe on the woman's body.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for saving me."
The woman, who had been tied up for a long time, moved her somewhat stiff arms and legs, sat on the stone, and looked towards the Jingting Pavilion.
"mother."
Jingting blurted out after kicking away a Zhu Yiwei who wanted to get closer.

"That's it. Xiaodao kept waiting and waiting on the mountain. Ruyi didn't come back, so Xiaodao went down the mountain to find her..."
In Liujiazhuang Inn, Jingting carefully handed a cup of hot tea to Ren Ruyi's adoptive mother, Ouyang.
"I have heard about you. Our Ruyi is a good child, but she is a bit busy. She has been recovering at home for the past few years. She often mentions you and says you are good-looking and kind-hearted."
Ouyang held Jingting's hand gently and smiled: "She has a hard life and a competitive temperament. As long as you treat her better and don't care about her in everything, I will be relieved."
"Mom~ How can I..."
Ren Ruyi's cheeks were a little red and she looked at Ouyang's reluctant opening.
"Mom, don't worry, I will treat Ruyi well, hiss~"
As soon as Jingting opened her mouth, Ren Ruyi stepped on Jingting hard under the table.
"Your mother-in-law's voice is really kind, but I haven't agreed to marry you yet!"
"Hey~ You kid, I like to hear it, please bark more~"
Ouyang patted Ren Ruyi and looked at Jingting.
"Mother~"
"Eh~"
There was a lot of fun in the inn.
"Good boy, when do you plan to get married and have grandchildren?"
"Ruyi and I are already working hard on that mother...grandson thing...ah!"
Ren Ruyi's kick was much heavier than the previous kick, her pretty face turned red and she gritted her teeth.
——————
"You guys get along very well."
At night, in Jingting's room, Ren Ruyi leaned on Jingting's chest.
Jingting asked the manager for three rooms, but when Ouyang fell asleep, Ren Ruyi got into his room.
"So this is how it feels to have a mother."
Jingting hugged Ren Ruyi tightly: "Not bad."
"Yes, I feel very good during the past few years living at my foster mother's house."
Ren Ruyi listened to Jingting's heartbeat: "Have you ever thought about finding your biological parents?"
"I was picked up by my master, who is my family. As for my biological parents, if we are destined to meet each other, they will naturally meet each other. Tell them that I have grown up and there is no need to worry about me. If there is no fate, there is no need to force it. What about you?"
"If I see my biological father, I want to stab him and ask him why he gave birth to me but sold me to Zhu Yiwei."
"Haha." Jingting laughed.
"My adoptive mother can't come with us. She can't go back to her hometown in Shengzhou now. I'm wondering where to place her." Ren Ruyi frowned.
Jingting took out a jade plaque from his arms and placed it in front of Ren Ruyi.
"How come you have the Elder Jade Tablet of Jinsha Tower?" Ren Ruyi's beautiful eyes flashed: "Given it to Jin Meiniang? I told her not to let you enter Jinsha Tower again, how dare she play this trick with me!"
"Mei Niang gave it to me so that I can ask her for help when I need it."
Jingting hugged Ren Ruyi tightly in her arms: "Jinsha Gang has many Jinbaozhan branches, which are easy to transfer, and the safety is not easily exposed. Jin Meiniang is taking care of Jinbaozhan, so there should be no problem."
"no."
"Why?"
"It just won't work anyway!" Ren Ruyi slapped Jingting.
"Then... we will take the adoptive mother back to the county tomorrow. I will go to Lao Ning for help. Liudaotang has branches all over the country. It is not easy to hide someone." Jingting thought for a while and said.
"That's a good idea, so thank you very much~"
"Between you and me, why should we do this? It's already late at night, and we have to rush back to the county tomorrow, so it's time to rest."
Jingting let go of Ren Ruyi in his arms. The woman was still sitting on the bed, not moving.
"you……"
"Tell my mother yourself that we are working hard~"
Under the candlelight, Ren Ruyi's head almost completely moved into the softness of his chest: "These days, I have been injured first and then slept in the open, and I haven't made much... effort."
"not me……"
Phew~
Ren Ruyi raised her palm slightly, a wisp of smoke floated from the candle in the room, and the roller curtain beside the bed also fell.
——————
The long night.
After having breakfast at the inn in Liujiazhuang and renting a carriage, Jingting and Ren Ruyi walked slowly towards Hexian County with their adoptive mother.
Entering He County, before arriving at the inn where the delegation was staying, Jingting could smell a burning smell from a long distance away.
"what happened?"
Ren Ruyi poked her head out of the carriage, and of course she smelled it.
"I don't know. I'll go take a look first. It's noon now. You can take your stepmother to eat something first."
Patting the back of Ren Ruyi's hand, Jingting handed the reins to Ren Ruyi.
"Okay, please be careful. If something happens, come back and discuss it with me first."
Jingting nodded and flew away.
Walking into the inn that was full of burned ruins, the first thing Jingting saw was corpses covered with white cloth on the ground, and Ning Yuanzhou whose face was covered with dust.
At this time, the deputy head of Liudao Hall was sitting slumped on the steps at the door, holding a water bag and pouring it into his mouth.
"You're finally back." Jingting approached, and Ning Yuanzhou raised his head: "Where's Miss Ren?"
"Ruyi is with her adoptive mother. It's a long story. What happened to the mission? Why did so many people die?"
Jingting reached out and squeezed Ning Yuanzhou's water bag.
Poof~
The water in the water bag was squeezed out and sprayed on Ning Yuanzhou's face.
"Your apprentice's lover is here."
Staring at Jingting angrily, Ning Yuanzhou wiped the dust with water on his face: "The palace guard named Zheng Qingyun."
"Where are they? What do they look like? What is their character like? Are their martial arts good?"
"King Danyang promised him the position of general and asked him to elope with His Highness. He colluded with the bandits to burn down the inn and wanted to take away His Highness along with one hundred thousand taels of gold. Fortunately, I was in the mission and killed the bandits and captured him alive. Zheng Qingyun,
When Your Highness went to see him, he actually wanted to kidnap His Highness and escape. The three-legged cat's Kung Fu was restrained by me in just two moves. It was a weakling, and he hadn't even been tried yet. Qian Zhao just used a scare, and he used all the moves. "
Ning Yuanzhou shook off the water droplets on his hands: "Fortunately, the fire was not big and it has not spread to the inn room. Your Highness is in the room now. He didn't eat, didn't say anything, and didn't even shed a single tear. Yuanlu is here Watch, go and have a look."
"I'd better go check on Zheng Qingyun first and pull out his bones to see if he's really soft!"
