Chapter 50 Aftermath
The list of Qingliang City was passed to Zuo Jingtian, but Zuo Jingtian didn't care at that time. Anyway, there was only one person on the list, and it was like that if he looked at it or not. He opened it absent-mindedly, but he was stunned. There were two people on the list, and one of them was Jiang Xiaobai.
Zuo Jingtian suddenly smiled, laughed at the sky and said, "God really helped me!" He had always been unable to understand what the people above thought of Qingliang Hou. Now it seems that the people above had long wanted to get rid of Qingliang Hou and soon. If he had known this, why would he have compromised? He would have killed this little monkey cub, so that he would not have been worried these days and would not be able to sleep well.
He wanted to call Zuo Lan over and share this joy together, but then he remembered that this little bastard had been missing for many days, so he sighed and thought, why did you run away? It’s not that my father doesn’t love you anymore.
According to regulations, when the list comes down, the master of the list must be placed under house arrest to avoid running away. So he called a few masters over and went to Meng Degang's residence. But Qingliang Hou was not in a hurry to put him in house arrest. He wanted to see what he would look like in the future when he was scared. Will he still be so arrogant and look down on others? You have caused Lan'er so miserable, and this time it can be regarded as avenging Laner.
He called Jiang Xiaobai over with someone.
After Jiang Xiaobai entered the house, he was not as attentive as he had been a few days ago. He just looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
Jiang Xiaobai felt a little uncomfortable and said, "What's the matter with Lord Zuocheng calling me?"
Zuo Jingtian sighed with regret, shook his head, handed him the list in his hand, and said, "Horse Qingliang, please take a look at it yourself. This is not what I mean. This is what the above means. I don't know who it means. It probably means the imperial court. The lord of this city wants to help you, but it's a pity that he is humble and can't help you!"
Jiang Xiaobai took the list and saw that his heart sank and his mind was running rapidly. Whose meaning is this? Judging from Zuo Jingtian's virtue, he probably didn't know about it in advance, and he didn't have the courage. Was that really the imperial court meant? Are you going to cut off his title? There was no sign of his face, and he looked calm. He handed the list to Zuo Jingtian again and said lightly: "I thought it was, I'd known about it long ago."
Zuo Jingtian thought that after he had read the list, he would be panicked and even cry bitterly. Unexpectedly, he was terriblely calm and couldn't help but say shocked: "How did you know?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I asked the princess to report my name."
Zuo Jingtian thought that the princess of the Hou Mansion had indeed conspired with him for a while that night, and was shocked again, saying, "Why is this?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Because I like hunting."
Zuo Jingtian said: "But you should know that the prey is not a beast, but a human, and tens of millions of people are killing each other!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I prefer killing people! I will feel excited when I see bright red blood spraying out of other people's necks."
Zuo Jingtian thought that he had cut off the guard's head with a sword in front of Xiting Mansion. He did not doubt his words at all. He felt a chill on his back and said, "Do you think you are sure to come out of the Sea of No Life?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I never do things I'm not sure about."
Seeing his calm appearance, Zuo Jingtian felt a little confused and smiled and said, "The Marquis is worthy of being the Marquis, and he is indeed extremely courageous!"
Jiang Xiaobai said, "By the way, are you going to come here to put me under house arrest? If so, just tell me, I will write a letter to the princess first and inform him, otherwise he would have thought I was joking with him and would have run away in fear!"
Zuo Jingtian smiled and said, "What are you saying? I am under house arrest and I dare not put you under house arrest! Don't worry, what do you need to go to Wushenghai? Even if you speak, I will prepare it for you properly. Of course, besides the Instinct Pearl, I also lack that thing!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I have understood the intention of the city lord. I am just Wushenghai, my Sulan sword is enough! If the city lord has nothing else to do, I will leave first!"
Zuo Jingtian said: "There is nothing else, I just care about it."
Jiang Xiaobai turned around and left.
Zuo Jingtian looked at his calm back and felt secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, he did not rashly put him under house arrest. Otherwise, the death penalty would have been ugly.
Jiang Xiaobai returned to the room and it was already dark.
Feng Yan was waiting for him. When he saw him come back, he closed the door and said, "Young Master, what did Zuo Jingtian ask you to do? I heard that Meng Degang has been under house arrest."
Jiang Xiaobai walked to the table and sat down, poured a glass of water, took a sip, and said, "He is also preparing to put me under house arrest."
Feng Yan also sat down opposite him and said in surprise: "Why should he put you under house arrest? Is a small town mainly a big deal?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I'm on the list too."
Feng Yan smiled and said, "Young Master, you must be joking with me, right? But it's not funny at all."
Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath and said, "Do you think I'm joking?"
Feng Yan was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and said anxiously: "Who reported your name? Is it Zuo Jingtian? Let's go and fight for him. Since he wants to kill you, the left and right is dead, so why not die with him."
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Sit down, I'm not dead yet! Besides, this is not done by Zuo Jingtian, but by the people above!"
Feng Yan was stunned again and said, "Who is the person above? Is it the emperor?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "It should be, otherwise no one would have the courage to do so. The corpse position of the Qingliang Marquis Mansion has been with him for thousands of years, and the people above can't stand it anymore. It seems that they are preparing to seize my title."
Feng Yan said anxiously: "What is a corpse position and food? My ancestors of the Jiang family made unparalleled contributions to the Zhongxia Dynasty. Without my Jiang family, there would be no Zhongxia Empire today. Is it too much to just occupy a false reputation? Is this just a river to destroy the bridge?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "You only remember what happened thousands of years ago!"
Feng Yan gritted his teeth and said, "I won't say this in advance, so why didn't Zuo Jingtian put you under house arrest?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I was frightened by me."
Feng Yan said: "It's great, young master, you must not miss the opportunity. You will never come again. While Zuo Jingtian has not yet resigned, we will leave tonight. The world is so big, and I am afraid that there will be no place for both of us? At worst, we can go to other countries."
Jiang Xiaobai said: "You mean to escape?"
Wenwen said little by little: "Yes, the farther you escape, the better!"
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "No! Once I run away, my title of Qingliang Marquis will be deprived of it with justification!"
Feng Yan said anxiously: "Young Master, when is it now? You are still thinking about this false reputation? You are not afraid of losing firewood. No matter what, it is better than sending death in vain!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "It's not that I am thinking about this false reputation, but that this title is left by my ancestors. If I lose it in my hands, what will I have to see the ancestors underground in a thousand years? I, Jiang Xiaobai, will not want to take away my things from me, unless I voluntarily give up, unless I die!"
Looking at his resolute appearance, Feng Yan knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless. He said, "What are the young masters going to do? Just sit and wait for death?"
Jiang Xiaobai said, "Anyway, I have one more year left, so I will work hard to improve my cultivation. Every time I increase my cultivation, the chance of living will increase by ten." When he said that, he took out a brocade box from his arms, which was given to him by Chang Yuhuan, and there were five Taoist beads in it. He opened the brocade box and said, "I originally planned to divide these five Taoist beads with you, but now it seems that I can't share them with you. If I can come back alive, there will be five hundred rewards in the imperial court, and you will be half of them."
Feng Yan's tears came down and he said, "Young Master, I don't want to give me rewards. I just want you to come back alive." When he said that, he also took out a guide bead from his arms, but it was much smaller than when Zuo Jingtian sent it to him. He put it on the table, and said, "Young Master, you should take this one for emergency treatment too! I would have known that I would not use it in the past few days, and I used it a lot."
Jiang Xiaobai said, "You keep your own! This time I went to Wushenghai, and I will die if I die. I die to defend the glory of the Marquis' Mansion, and it has nothing to do with you. For Feng Yu and for your father, you must live well. I once promised Feng Yu that a hundred years later, I would take her out of Leng Yan Palace, and I don't know if there is a chance. If I can't come back, I hope you can make a sigh for me and bring Feng Yu out. I don't like to break the trust."
Feng Yan saw that the young master was explaining his funeral, tears suddenly surged out, and he cried and choked, "Young master, you must be fine."
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I hope this is the case! Okay, you go back first, don't cry here to delay my cultivation."
