chewing dragon

Chapter 10

The voice of the red-eyed man was thick and majestic, and immediately overwhelmed all the noises in the street.

Hearing this, Lu Ao gently broke free from his mother who was holding onto his sleeve, walked out from the crowd, and bowed to the gaze of the red-eyed man.

He looked quite calm, except for the lack of blood on his lips, and there was no fear on his face, but a hint of anticipation.

The red-eyed man raised his palm as wide as a cattail fan, pointed at Lu Ao's head, and said again: "Verify your integrity!"

As soon as these words came out, the force coming from behind Qi Jingzhi immediately became stronger.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Ao took a deep breath, raised his hand and slowly took off the soft hat on his head.

There was another exclamation all around.

Qi Jingzhi could see clearly that on the upper part of this classmate's forehead, there were two small curved jade-colored horns.

Perhaps it was because the pair of jade horns were too delicate and small, the Lu family Erlang in front of him didn't have the ferociousness of the legendary monster at all, on the contrary he looked even more handsome.

The red-eyed man stared at the jade horns on Lu Ao's head for a while, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

He tried his best to lower his voice, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If it is the blood of Emperor Yan, the descendant of Sheng Jiang, or the extremely rare Yujiao lineage of Shennong's clan, if there is no accident, you can go straight to Zhenmoyuan." Chi Yousi."

Before Lu Jia Erlang could respond, the red-eyed man looked at the people in the store behind him again, and said loudly: "This official is Dong Mao, the envoy of Jinyun from the Wuyun Inspection Department of Daqi Town Demon Academy. This time, I am passing through this county on business. I'm going back. From now on, if you have something to do with the Lu family, you can come to the capital to find me."

After all, Dong Mao didn't look at the reaction of the crowd waiting, took the steed beside him and turned up, stretched out his hand towards Lu Ao, and said, "Come up!"

"Yes! Please wait a moment, my lord."

Lu Ao responded, put on the soft hat again, adjusted his clothes carefully, turned around and knelt down in front of the store, and respectfully kowtowed three times to his parents.

When he raised his head, the boy's eyes were already red, and he choked up and said, "My son is not filial, and he can no longer serve the hall. From now on, the world will be far away, and the date of return is uncertain. I hope that the two elders will take good care of you, and don't worry too much about it."

Old shopkeeper Lu nodded with tears in his eyes, and encouraged his son, "Don't act like a child. Your elder brother will take care of you at home. My son is going to be loyal to the affairs of the country and serve the king. In the future, he will be successful in his career and return to his hometown in fine clothes. Then he will come to your mother's knees." It’s never too late to be filial!”

Hearing the father and son's conversation, many accompanying guests, including the county magistrate, couldn't help nodding.

Only Lu Ao's mother couldn't help crying and wanted to rush out, but was held back by the old shopkeeper Lu and the big man of the Lu family.

At this time, needless to mention those distinguished guests, everyone on the street probably understood that this Erlang of the Lu family was not only not a monster, but also had a great adventure.

The arrogant Dong Mao in front of him was not the so-called expert sent by the county to catch monsters, but a big man who came out of the capital on business.

Although I don't know what kind of yamen the Wuyun Inspection Department of the Zhenmoyuan is, and what level of officials the Jinyun envoy is, but only look at the attitude of the county lord and others, Lu's Erlang will definitely go straight to the sky and become a success. up.

It is also certain that the entire Lu family has risen with the tide, and became the new rich in Chengxian County in one leap.

Under the gazes of countless envious and even jealous eyes, Lu Ao stood up and walked down the steps. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Dong Mao lifted him onto the horse's back.

The loud hissing sound like a dragon's chant resounded through the long street, and immediately caused a commotion.

People around the audience pushed and shoved each other, and quickly made way for a way out.

Unexpectedly, Dong Mao did not rush away, instead he pulled the reins abruptly, allowing the unusually tall red-maned and white horse to circle twice in place.

Immediately afterwards, the envoy from Jinyun on horseback turned his head suddenly, and his terrifying red eyes looked directly at Qi Jingzhi who was standing not far away.

The scorching eyes that seemed to be substantial scanned the young man back and forth twice, and finally fixed on the cuff of his left arm.

Qi Jingzhi pursed his lips, feeling both happy and nervous.

Fortunately, the other party was looking at the cuffs, and obviously did not find the spirit mask.After all, Lu Yunzi has a criminal record. Although the mask has become his own appearance, the residual thoughts inside cannot be concealed from others. At the same time, this thing can benefit the soul, so it must be of great value. It is hard to guarantee that Dong Mao will not have money.

What's tense is that the sharp knife with the ear of the bull's ear kills first and then kills the evil, which has already given birth to a somewhat inexplicable spirituality, and now it seems that Dong Mao has discovered the clues, which is also unpredictable.

But he didn't dare to keep these two things at home. If he hurt grandpa, it would be too late for redemption and regret.

"It's interesting!"

Dong Mao's voice sounded, a little more cruel and joking than before: "I just heard that there is a tiger spirit in Nangang, and I saw you when I turned around. This Songling County is just a big fart place. , there are quite a lot of messy stuff."

The red-maned white horse under his crotch snorted suddenly, and walked slowly towards Qi Jingzhi.

Sitting high on the horseback, Dong Mao stared at the young man closely, the red flames in his eyes seemed to be a little more intense.

He pulled back the hem of his cloak, revealing a copper-handled dagger hanging from his waist.

The people standing in front of the white horse scattered instantly.

Qi Jingzhi stood alone on the spot, bearing the brunt of the blow, there was no way to avoid it!
He took a deep breath and looked up at Dong Mao with an innocent smile.

"Master Dong, why did you say that? The Wuyun inspection department is the official office of Daqi, and the envoy of Jinyun is the official of the imperial court. If adults get angry, how much do you want to draw a sword against a 15-year-old boy?"

"Huh? I don't know how to do it, but I'm very eloquent."

Dong Mao reined in the reins, looked down at the young man, and sneered from under the mask: "You have a sharp knife hidden in your sleeve, and you have blood inside. Either you just killed someone, or you practiced the evil technique of using blood to sacrifice the knife, and you have the face What kind of court law are you talking about with this official?"

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi let go of his heart completely, and thought to himself: "After all, I have limited knowledge, and I overestimated this person. This Dong Mao and Lu Yunzi are not the same, and they both thought it was Lao Shizi's blood sacrifice. Famen, unfortunately I really don’t know how to do it.”

The smile on Qi Jingzhi's face became brighter, and he showed the other party the bamboo cage in his hand calmly, and said seriously: "My lord, I am Orion. I carry a skinning knife with me. No surprise there."

Never thought that the young man in front of him would say such a sentence, Dong Mao was immediately taken aback, and his momentum also weakened a bit.

Seeing this scene, the people on the street who were originally silent couldn't help whispering, buzzing like thousands of bees flapping their wings.

Lu Ao, who was sitting behind Dong Mao, suddenly said, "My lord, his name is Qi Jingzhi. He used to be my classmate. His family is indeed Orion."

Before Dong Mao could react, another person came out of the crowd, walked up to the Jinyun envoy's horse, cupped his hands and said, "Master Dong, this child is a student of Meng, and he is by no means a villain. Mingchao."

When Dong Mao saw the person coming, he clasped his fists in a rare way in return, and said in a low voice: "If in the past, if I met such a person, I would definitely take them back to the Yamen for scrutiny. Today, since Master Meng is the guarantor, I will give you a guarantor." For the sake of saving face, please forgive him! It’s getting late, let’s say goodbye!”

After he finished speaking, he lifted the hem of his clothes to cover the dagger at his waist, then turned his horse's head and galloped towards the city gate.

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi put down the bamboo cage, and bowed to Lu Ao.

Lu Ao turned around on the horse's back and saluted from a distance.

After a quick look, the two teenagers looked at each other and smiled, and said goodbye.
