Chapter 708: Legend of Ancient Sword 24
Haha, no matter how eloquent he is, he can't change Li Pan'an's nature of robbery and plunder!
Jiang Xinxin released her spiritual sense and saw that there were only two minions guarding the gate outside, so she winked at Baili Tusu, who obediently walked out of the door and killed them with two slashes. Jiang Xinxin took the opportunity to also give Li Panan a slash, and then showed up in front of Fang Ruqin: "Sister Ruqin, don't be afraid, we are here to save you!"
Fang Ruqin was so frightened that she was shaking all over. She was the image of a caring older sister in the Fang family and a tough lady outside. However, this could not change her own powerless nature. So when she found out that she was abducted and taken somewhere else, one can imagine the fear in her heart.
Fang Ruqin was speechless, so Jiang Xinxin directly put an invisibility talisman and a breath-suppressing talisman on her and helped her walk out. Feng Qingxue came over with a worried look on her face to help comfort Fang Ruqin. Xiang Ling, who was walking behind, couldn't help but drag Li Panan's feet and pull him out.
Baili Tu Su felt that Xiang Ling's behavior was inappropriate, but seeing Xiang Ling's angry look, he quickly swallowed all the dissuasion.
Oh, just let the child be. People in the world believe in ghosts and gods anyway. Xiangling's current behavior only adds to the legend of ghosts and gods.
Sure enough, Xiang Ling hid her body and dragged Li Pan'an all the way out of Fanyun Village. There were many people who saw this situation on the road, but in those people's eyes, Li Pan'an looked like he had seen a ghost. He lay on the ground with his head raised and slid out, which scared many people fainted.
After walking a long way out of Fanyun Village, Feng Qingxue helped Fang Ruqin to rest on a stone by the roadside. Everyone showed up and no longer hid.
Xiang Ling threw Li Pan'an aside and moved towards Fang Ruqin, not forgetting to turn around and kick him, "Sister Ruqin, this evil man is so abominable!"
Fang Ruqin had heard the whole story and also heard Li Panan's confession of love for her. Now that she had calmed down from her panic, when she looked at Li Panan again, she no longer felt the disgust she had before and even felt a little sorry for him.
Fang Ruqin turned her head away from looking at Li Pan'an who had fainted on the ground, but she began to plead for him: "Although I hate Li Pan'an's behavior of kidnapping innocent people, after listening to his story, I can't help but feel sorry for him. Since there is a reason for what happened, why don't we just spare his life?"
Everyone was in the room at that time. Xiang Ling felt sorry for Li Pan'an after hearing what Fang Ruqin said, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she puffed up her face and didn't say anything. Feng Qingxue and Baili Tusu looked at each other. Both of them were somewhat moved by Fang Ruqin, but they knew that Jiang Xinxin was the one who made the decision, so they all looked at Jiang Xinxin.
Jiang Xinxin didn't think Fang Ruqin had done anything wrong, she just thought that she was not thorough enough. "Sister Ruqin, you have seen with your own eyes how Li Panan was blamed, despised and cursed. You think he is extremely pitiful. It is understandable and not wrong for him to do such a thing."
"But you forgot that he is the head of Fanyun Village, and Fanyun Village itself is a den of bandits. I don't know how many people have been harmed over the years."
Fang Ruqin was kindhearted, but she was in charge of the family business and was obviously not a soft-hearted person. Jiang Xinxin's reminder sobered her up a lot, and she immediately apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, everyone. You saved me from Li Pan'an, but I forgot his bandit nature because I thought he was a bit pitiful."
Feng Qingxue and Xiang Ling sent Fang Ruqin back first, while Jiang Xinxin and Baili Tusu stayed behind to guard Li Panan and Fanyun Village above, waiting for Fang Lansheng to bring government officials to suppress the bandits.
The Fang family had some reputation in Qinchuan City, and Fang Lansheng went there in person and actually called over a lot of yamen runners. Moreover, the situation in Fanyun Village was well known to the government office, but they used to think that the group of people were just robbing passing merchants. Qinchuan was connected in all directions, and there was more than just one official road near Fanyun Village for trade, so the government office saw that it was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and had delayed until now.
Now, the bandit leader has been brought out and the detailed situation inside has been obtained. Everyone in the government office feels that this is a good achievement and is naturally very willing to help. So when Li Pan'an finally wakes up, he finds that he has become the one imprisoned, and he is surrounded by brothers who have been through life and death with him.
The prefect did not expect that Li Pan'an was actually the strange flower thief who had caused so much discussion in Qinchuan City. He had won two merits in a row, so he immediately sent a valuable gift to Fang Mansion. Everyone did not want to accept it, but Fang Ruqin persuaded everyone, "The people in the officialdom are not the same as ordinary people. If you do not accept this gift today, the prefect may think that you are seeking greater benefits and causing more trouble."
So everyone had no choice but to accept it. Feng Qingxue and Xiang Ling still couldn't help but mutter a few words, saying that officials have really strange brains.
As soon as the matter of the flower thief was settled, Fang Ruqin found out that Sun Yueyan from the Sun family had already turned 18, so she, as the elder, directly exchanged her engagement letter with Fang Lansheng, indicating that the marriage between the young master of the Fang family and the young lady of the Sun family was confirmed, and they were just waiting for the two families to formally discuss the wedding date.
Although Fang Lansheng had some feelings for Sun Yueyan, it was definitely not to the extent of getting married, especially now that he was following Baili Tusu and the others and wanted to have fun for a few more years. How could he just watch his second sister officially arrange his marriage? So Ouyang Shaogong just briefly mentioned that there was a master in Jiangdu City who could calculate anything in the world, and if he wanted to find a way to bring the dead back to life, he would come over and persuade Baili Tusu and the others to go to Jiangdu.
Baili Tu Su and Feng Qingxue both wanted to go to Jiangdu to meet the master who knew everything about the world as mentioned by Ouyang Shaogong. Especially since they both wanted to find treasures that could replenish or nourish the soul, such an opportunity should not be missed.
Xiang Ling originally came out to look for her mother, but now she met and recognized Baili Tu Su unexpectedly. Anyway, she didn't know where to go, so of course she had to follow Baili Tu Su and Feng Qingxue. Besides, she also wanted to do something for Baili Tu Su's affairs, so she immediately said that she wanted to go with them.
Jiang Xinxin saw that Ouyang Shaogong had a lot of plans in private, so she didn't comment, which was considered as her agreement.
It's just that Fang Ruqin was really worried about Fang Lansheng going far away, especially now that she wanted to finalize Fang Lansheng and Sun Yueyan's marriage, so she didn't allow Fang Lansheng to go out. Later, she got annoyed by Fang Lansheng's nagging and directly confined Fang Lansheng to his own yard.
Fang Lan was afraid that he would be abandoned by everyone, so he made a fuss for two days, then pretended to be persuaded and temporarily calmed down. He took the opportunity to pack his luggage, climbed over the wall and went out, and caught up with the large group going to Jiangdu outside the city. When Fang Ruqin discovered that he was missing, he was already a hundred miles away.
Ouyang Shaogong felt that Fang Lansheng's behavior was not good, so he did not persuade him to go back, but reminded him to write a letter to Fang Ruqin to let her know that he was safe. "Your sister is just worried that you might get hurt outside with your mediocre kung fu skills. Besides, you are discussing marriage with Miss Sun now, so it is not easy for you to travel far. But since you have already come out, why not write a letter to tell your sister what you think? Your sister is not really unreasonable, she is just too worried about you and has considered things more carefully."
Fang Lansheng was relieved to see that Ouyang Shaogong did not chase him away. He accepted Ouyang Shaogong's reminder in its entirety and even borrowed Feng Qingxue's messaging butterfly to write a letter to Fang Ruqin. In the letter, he said that he had only been active in the area within a hundred miles of Qinchuan City since he was a child. Except for the time he went to Wangchuan Haoli, he had never been anywhere else. He wanted to go out more and broaden his horizons while he was still young.
Fang Ruqin was helpless after receiving the letter. The person was gone, what else could she do? She could only hope that her brother and friends were safe.
