Chapter 536 I am the bait

When the sky was getting brighter, the battle between the government and the army to suppress bandits finally ended.

Although some Luotian scholars escaped while the chaos was still allowed to escape, most of the thieves were still kept, either killed on the spot or captured alive, and were tied up by ropes, unable to even move.

The official army also suffered some casualties, but overall, everyone was still very excited. After all, more than 100 elusive Luotian scholars were captured in this battle. This was something that had never happened before, and it was a great achievement. Several officers even shouted orders, asking their subordinates to carefully clean the battlefield, not letting any corpse go, and then they would take the prisoners back.

Not far away, Li Ling and his men sat down against the tree, recovering their tired bodies, and didn't even say a few words.

Needless to say, Li Ling was not only worried and scared after all this night, but also had many wounds on his body, especially the life-and-death duel with Zhao Chenghuang just now. Although he finally saved his life and killed the enemy, he was also hit several times. The armor could protect him from his vitals, but he still bleeding from the injury in other places. He has just stopped now.

Yang Qingxiao was injured by the sword energy in many places, and the wounds on the surface were not too deep, but the muscles, bones and internal organs were still hurt one after another when fighting with Xiang Brahmatian. Just now, blood continued to overflow from his mouth, which made Li Ling worry for a while.

But Wan Shenji was the one who was most injured. The amazing knife forced out his potential. After seeing Xiang Fantian being killed, he fainted. At this time, he was still dying and his face was pale, making Li Ling worried that he would be better than anything else.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Li Ling staggered up and rushed to a military officer not far away and shouted: "Sir, where is this? Can you help me prepare a carriage for us and send us a few to see Master Futai?"

"Who are you?" Hearing the hello, the other party focused on these people and looked at Li Ling carefully. His official uniform was already broken, but fortunately he could still see some things, so he was not taken by the soldiers around him as Luo Tian Cult.

"I am the magistrate of Huating County Li Ling, who was robbed by these traitors before..." Li Ling said his identity. After saying a few words, the man was already in a daze: "It turned out to be the magistrate Li. People come to prepare a carriage and send magistrate Li back." But it seemed that he had known him a long time ago, which made Li Ling slightly stunned. But this is fine. Wan Shenji urgently needs treatment, so saving people is important.

With this arrangement, Li Ling and the other two quickly got on a carriage, and then more than ten people were separated from the generals and protected them to leave. It was not until the car had gone forward that Li Ling realized that he was still in Jinling City, and there was a gradually bustling street market in front of him. Last night, he was almost killed. The forest, which was fighting in the middle of the night, was only located in a corner of the city.

This is actually reasonable. Although Luo Tian Sect has a great inner supporter like Xiang Brahma, it cannot take him out of the governor's yamen without knowing it overnight and then out of Jinling. Otherwise, their strength would be too terrible. I'm afraid that even Governor Wen would have been eradicated by them, and it would not be the result now.

Thinking of this, he looked at Yang Qingxiao, who was just in time to see him. The two of them met with each other, each with tenderness. But soon, Li Ling calmed down and asked the main topic: "Qingxiao, what's going on? How did the official army find them? Also, why are you with them again?"

This question suddenly broke out from the government army, and Yang Qingxiao and others showed up, and Li Ling had already felt in his heart. However, he was uneasy after several life and deaths, so he didn't have time to ask.

Yang Qingxiao shrank down with fear, and then said in a low voice: "I was sitting in the inn yesterday, and suddenly Brother Wan ran away and said you were taken down by the governor. I wanted to save you, but he stopped me again. Then he told me that this was actually a plan to lead to important figures in the Luotian Sect."

"Hmm? Is it a trick to convict me? What exactly is this saying?" Li Ling's face changed again, and then he realized that things were far more complicated than he had guessed.

But this time, Yang Qingxiao smiled bitterly: "I don't know very well what the situation is. Anyway, Wan Shenji told me this, and then took me to meet some military generals and waited for the news with them. After about the second update, someone brought the news, saying that the fish had taken the bait, and then we followed them to the forest in the northwest corner of Jinling. Later, we found that this group of people gathered in one place. Li Lang, you are still tied up by them, saying that you want to kill you..."

Li Ling's brow was deeply locked. Although the specific details were not very clear, he had confirmed that in this incident, he was just a piece of bait that exposed the Luotian Sect. So, from the beginning, Governor Wen deliberately captured himself and then left a chance to Xiang Fantian, so that he and his accomplices were completely exposed, and finally they were all caught!

This result is undoubtedly worth celebrating, because today's battle not only eliminated more than 100 Luo Tian Cultists hidden in Jinling. Maybe they can gain further results through the alive capturing. The Luo Tian Cult's power in Jiangnan will inevitably be greatly hit - and they also killed two important figures, the two elders of Luo Tian Cult Earth and Fire. Killing these two people can cause greater harm to the Luo Tian Cult than killing one or two hundred scholars.

You should know that the elder Zhao Chenghuang, a local area, has caused major troubles in the southwest in the past few years, causing difficult damage to the court, and the court still had no way to deal with him until yesterday. Now, when he was killed, many people were relieved.

As for Elder Xiang Brahma, although it seems that the impact is not too great now, just think about his identity as the governor of the army, and think about the consequences of the previous Jiangnan rebellion, it will be chilling.

Obviously, this time the plan was mostly targeted. Wen Ming had to take a risk because he had no evidence. As a result, it turned out that once Xiang Brahma died, the chaos in Jiangnan should be completely put down.

This is indeed something to be happy about, but Li Ling's heart was still full of anger. He was not angry with Wen Ming's use of himself, nor was he angry because he almost died. The key is that all the reasons were kept in the dark. He could not bear the practice of being used as a tool and even abandoning his puppet.

Feeling the anger emitted by Li Ling, Yang Qingxiao gradually understood the problem, and her face became paler and paler: "Li Lang, you... were deceived by him too? If so, I would not let him go!" Even if the king of heaven dared to harm his beloved like this, Yang Qingxiao would have to make him pay the price!

Li Ling quickly restrained her emotions when she heard this, and then grabbed her hand: "Qingxiao, there is no need to do this. I will deal with my affairs myself, and you don't have to take such risks for me."

"But they..." Yang Qingxiao wanted to persist again, but was quickly interrupted by Li Ling: "I know you are thinking about me, but I don't want you to have anything to do. Otherwise, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. You are a man in the world, and I know the consequences of hurting officials better than you. Don't worry, I have everything, and I am more sophisticated in the officialdom."

Li Ling held his hand hard, and his eyes met, feeling the sincerity and love from his beloved man. Yang Qingxiao's anger finally dissipated. After a moment, she nodded softly and responded: "Well, I...I'm the one who listens to you..."

As they spoke, the two of them got closer and slowly snuggled together. As the carriage rolled forward, the two of them who experienced life and death only felt that their feelings were stronger and their intentions were more sincere...

The atmosphere in the car became quiet and gentle at this moment. Just when the two of them just wanted to lean together quietly, until forever, the carriage suddenly shook and then slowly stopped. Then, a voice sounded from the outside: "Mr. Li, come. Get off the car." But he had already arrived at the governor's office.

...

After the sky was bright, all the twelve gates of Jinling City, which were closed overnight, were opened, allowing insiders and outsiders to enter and exit the city.

Of course, interrogation and searches that should be found are inevitable. After all, the Jiangnan Rebellion has just passed, and a rebellion occurred in the city last night. So today, the soldiers guarding the city gate widened their eyes and carefully checked every pedestrian entering and leaving the city gate. As long as they had a larger baggage, they would take them one by one to look at the objects.

When he saw this scene, Ji Wuyou, who came to the city gate with the team, felt weak and guilty, almost turned around and hid, if there was someone behind him half-supporting and half-pushing him.

Just this morning, Ji Wuyou was still asleep, but was woken up by someone. Then, without saying anything, he asked him to get up and dress neatly. Three or five people kept him, pushed him, and walked out.

When he reacted and asked what was going on, the man named Zhao Jue, who had been with him before, said nervously: "There is a big deal. The elder of the earth encountered an attack on the official army last night, and he was afraid that there would be a lot of danger. We must leave Jinling immediately, otherwise it might fall into the hands of the government."

Just this sentence scared Ji Wuyou to the point of being alone. Although he had accepted his identity as the young master of Luo Tian Sect, he could not make any progress in just a short period of time. Everything was done with the assistance of Zhao Chenghuang or the promotion.
