Chapter 71: The Green Robe's Rules

  Liang Xin found the leader of the green-clad men and asked: "What are your plans?"

  The leader of the Qing Yi is a big Han, named Xiong Da Wei. Upon hearing this, he revealed a dim smile and replied: "It's my duty, I must go back to report."

  Liang Xin shook his head and flipped out his own You Ji Ming Pai, saying: "All Qing Yi listen to the order!" The Qing Yi You Ji had the right to summon fellow disciples in times of urgency.

  The men in green uniforms were taken aback at first, but immediately puffed out their chests and quickly formed a line, facing Liang Xin and shouting in unison: "Please instruct us, sir!" Because they were all deaf, their responses were not uniform, but still loud and clear!

  Liang Xinxue imitated the tone of Qu Qingshi, and said in a deep voice: "I summon you to follow me, assist me in handling important matters, and see my orders as embroidered brocade!" As he spoke, he raised the token in his hand.

  Liang Xinkan was not at ease letting them return to Zhenning Prefecture, firstly because the national teacher might send another assassin, and secondly, the power of the prefecture's green robes was still difficult to resist against a cultivator; also, although these people were unimportant, they might unexpectedly provide help for Qu and Liu to escape punishment, and keeping them by his side at all times would ensure that he could use them whenever needed.

  The crowd of green-clad men understood Liang Xin's meaning, and the gloom between their eyebrows was swept away as they nodded in unison to take orders. However, a few seriously injured members were unable to follow the team, so Liang Xin had no choice but to order people to send them back to Zhenning Town. The remaining green-clad men totaled twenty-three.

  While arranging the green clothes, Huang Gua and Mo Ya had already brought the slide over, laughing and asking: "Liang Ye... San Ge, where are we going?" At this moment, sitting on the slide was none other than Yang Jiao Cui, with a sly and comfortable expression.

  Liang Xinkē hesitated, knowing he should meet up with the Qingyi Youji who came to receive Gao Jian and discuss their next move, thinking of a way to clear the names of his two sworn brothers. But how was he supposed to contact his companions? Liang Xinkē couldn't help but glance at the Snowy-tailed Cloud Swallow still perched on Huanggua's shoulder, thinking to himself that if all else failed, he could tie a rope around the bird's leg and release it into the sky, and the approaching Youji would be able to find him by following the bird...

  Just as he was indulging in wild thoughts, a voice as sharp as cutting through gold and jade suddenly came from behind him, cold and icy: "Who is Gao Jian?" Liang Xin hastily turned around, looked back, and saw that a 16- or 17-year-old girl had somehow appeared seven steps behind him, coldly sizing up everyone.

  The girl wore a white long dress, her skin on the neck and cheeks was as white as snow, but her hair was black and shiny, hanging down to her waist. Her eyebrows were thin but sharp like two sword tips, and her clear eyes had no warmth in them.

  In comparison, Qu Qingmo's beauty is like a plump porcelain doll; Lang Huan's beauty is playful and changeable, like an elf on the grassland. And the beauty of the white-clothed girl in front of me is more like a transparent but sharp icicle!

  Liáng Xīn was shocked in his heart, although he was seriously injured, but his body's keen perception of the outside world still existed, and it was almost impossible for ordinary people to quietly approach him.

  The girl flipped her right hand and revealed her nameplate, she was also a Qingyi Youji like Gao Jian. Her voice still icy and clear asked: "Who is Gao Jian? Please meet him."

  Liáng Xīn was somewhat astonished, never expecting that this time's dispatched Yu Ji would actually be an icy snow maiden.

  Cucumber and Molar quickly put down the slide, walked a few steps, and explained the situation one by one. At the same time, Liang Xin also handed over his nameplate for the girl to check.

  The sheep horn crisp looked around and no one lifted it up. The old man reluctantly jumped down from the slide, climbed onto Liang Xin's neck.

  The girl remained silent until she had heard the whole story, then nodded slightly towards Liang Xin and reported her own name: "Xiao Yu". As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand to beckon the cloud sparrow on Huang Gua's shoulder, and the bird, being clever, immediately jumped over.

  The young girl, Xiaoyu, took out a small piece of sheepskin paper and quickly scribbled a few words on it with her fingernail. She then tied the paper to the leg of the skylark, which spread its wings and flew high into the sky, disappearing from view in an instant. Throughout this process, she had only used her right hand, keeping her left hand hidden in her long sleeve without revealing it at all.

  Gulu, Liang Xin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked Xiao Yu with a guilty conscience: "Just now... what did you write?"

  Xiao Hai replied faintly: "Unable to meet with Gao Jian, I must report the situation here to the master. Before Gao Jian's injury, he said that you would temporarily replace him?"

  A beam of light shines on two children and a monkey nodding together...

  In such a ridiculous situation, Xiaotang still didn't have a hint of a smile and said: "Before the new message arrives, you and I will cooperate to turn things around."

  Liang Xin nodded naturally, but still had some doubts and asked: "Did you mention me when you sent the message to the commander?"

  Xiao Hai slightly furrowed her brow, glanced at Liang Xin, and nodded: "Of course."

  Liáng Xīn finally calmed down, involuntarily lifted his head to gaze at the sky, and made up his mind that he would boost his spirits recently. Seeing a white-tailed cloud sparrow approaching, he took the initiative to knock it down...

  Although the young girl, Xiaotai, was as cold as ice and kept people at a distance of a thousand miles, Huanggua and Moya were thick-skinned and exchanged a glance before taking a step forward, kneeling down in unison in front of Xiaotai, and loudly saying: "Little slave greets fairy!"

  Xiao Sai sidestepped and let them pass by, saying calmly: "No need for a bow, get up."

  The two young men, of course, were not willing to get up. The cucumber was still using his eyes to signal to Liang Xin, at this time someone needed to scold them: What do you want to see the gift?! Liang Xin ignored him, pretending not to have seen it.

  Cucumber knelt for a while, seeing that Xiaotai didn't pay attention to them at all, and got up gloomily. He quickly walked up to Xiaotai's side and smiled without any sincerity: "Master once told us that each of the Green Robe Riders has a special skill. Master is good at investigating cases, Liang Ye has excellent martial arts skills... what about you, Fairy?"

  Xiao Hai slowly moved away from the battlefield, as if verifying what Liang Xin and others had just said about the fierce battle. Upon hearing this, he replied without turning his head: "Kill people."

  Mo Ya also came over, opening his mouth just as he was about to speak, but immediately closed it when he heard Xiao Quan's words.

  Liang Xin couldn't help but smile wryly, his heart already somewhat understanding that if Xiao Yu was telling the truth, then due to a mistake in judgment, things had gone awry!

  Gao Jian was the top expert in investigating cases, so the commander-in-chief first sent him to Yin Prefecture; afterwards, the commander-in-chief also discovered that things were urgent and there was a great danger, and he also brought over Xiao Quan with the highest combat power to support Gao Jian. With this, the two mobile cavalrymen, one literary and one martial, naturally cooperated seamlessly like a well-oiled machine.

  It was unexpected that Gao Jian would be gone so soon, now only two riders are left, both of whom were originally thugs... Alas, for the sake of his two sworn brothers, Lord Liang can only force himself to move forward, not retreating in battle and taking big strides forward when thinking.

  Liang Xin thought for a moment and walked up to Xiao Quan, telling him the situation that he and Gao Jian had analyzed in detail.

  As expected, the girl Xiaoyu just hummed a response, with an expression that said it was none of her business. After a moment, she added another sentence, fearing Liang Xin might not understand: "Killing people, I'll take care of it. Other things, don't bother me."

  After finishing, Xiaotang paused for a moment and added in a low voice: "In addition, the meaning of the commander's words is that when it is impossible to turn over the case, Qu Qingshi and Liu will surely die. The rules of the Jiulong Temple for hundreds of years cannot be broken by him."

  Liang Xin didn't react for a moment and asked: "What does it mean?"

  "Even if I, Kowloon Tsai, have committed a heinous crime that deserves capital punishment, it's none of anyone else's business to carry out the execution!"

  Liang Xin furrowed his brow and looked at Xiao Yu, but in the end didn't say anything, only nodding slightly.

  If they really had to die, Qu Qing Shi and Liu would definitely choose to die at the hands of their own people. This is the Jiulong Qing Yi way. 'Killed by one's own kind', this was a rule set down by Liang Yi Er.
