Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 555: Rescue Xu Sheng
Although Wei Yeqing had purple air on his head, Lin Qianxing did not necessarily have to help him rescue Xu Sheng.
Lin Qianxing has his own principles. Even if he has the Purple Qi of Tufan, he will not do anything against his principles.
It is difficult to judge whether Xu Sheng was right or wrong in providing military rations to the disaster victims.
From the perspective of the disaster victims, he is indeed a good official.
But from the perspective of the imperial court, the food that was originally intended for the soldiers was now being eaten by the people. How could the imperial court continue to fight the war?
If we cannot fight the war, the country will cease to exist, and it is hard to say whether the people will get anything good out of it.
The right and wrong in this matter is relatively complicated.
To save him or not, Lin Qianxing thought for a while and asked Wei Yeqing, "Where is he being held?"
"Lord Xu is being held in the county jail and is being guarded by officials from the county government. I have already sent people to check on him," said Wei Yeqing.
"You don't have to take any more action. I will go to the prison tonight and rescue him then. As for you, you just need to support me outside." Lin Qianxing said.
That’s right, Lin Qianxing plans to take on this task.
Judging from the current situation of Dawen State, Xu Sheng is actually a very good official.
It's a pity to let him die.
"How confident are you, sir?" Wei Yeqing asked.
"Ten points." Lin Qianxing said.
He has the confidence.
His current strength is a dimensionality reduction attack to ordinary people. The two sides are not on the same level at all.
Afterwards, he and Wei Yeqing discussed some relevant details, finalized the matter, and took a rest under Wei Yeqing's arrangement.
Time passed, and soon it was the night time.
Lin Qianxing came to the county government office with the map of the county government given by Wei Yeqing in his hand.
Without any leverage, he climbed over the wall of the county government office.
Then he went all the way to the prison in the county government.
There were several guards in the prison inside the county government office, but they all looked listless and obviously not competent for their jobs.
Lin Qianxing walked silently without alarming them at all. When he was about to get close to them, he walked up to them quickly and hit them hard on the back of their heads, causing them to faint.
This move also requires skill.
There is a need to control strength and tap acupoints. If the strength is too little, you won't feel dizzy, but if the strength is too much, it can be fatal.
Most people simply can’t play it.
Lin Qianxing placed the unconscious guard against the wall and entered the dark prison.
The prison was extremely dark. There were only some candles where the guards were. The county government was reluctant to give lamp oil to the prisoners.
Lin Qianxing followed the road and came to the prison where Xu Sheng was located as recorded on the map.
Through the faint light coming in from the skylight, Lin Qianxing saw a middle-aged man in prison clothes and with disheveled hair sleeping soundly on the simple straw mat bed.
He did not seem to have been abused and was sleeping soundly, as if he was not at all worried that he would be taken to Kyoto for trial.
Lin Qianxing took out the key he got from the jailer and opened the prison directly.
Pushing open the door, Lin Qianxing stepped inside, came to the lying man, and poured the container of water next to him on his face.
"Who... who? Pah!" Xu Sheng woke up all of a sudden, and then looked at Lin Qianxing and said, "Who is so wicked as to pee on my face?"
Lin Qianxing didn't expect that it wasn't something to hold water, and felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't show it. Instead, he said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is, who are you?"
Although he had seen Xu Sheng's portrait, he still wanted to confirm it this time.
"You are the hero from Qingtian Society who came to break the prison, right?" Xu Sheng realized what was happening, and then he said happily, "I am Xu Sheng."
"Since you are Lord Xu, please follow me out!" Lin Qianxing nodded.
Xu Sheng nodded, quickly put on his shoes and followed Lin Qianxing outside.
The noise woke up the other people in the prison, and someone shouted, "Sir, please let me out, I am innocent."
"Yes, yes, let us all go, otherwise I will scream." Someone else said.
Lin Qianxing had a blank expression on his face and completely ignored these people.
Regardless of whether the people inside were innocent or not, he didn't want to save them.
This kind of thing is too troublesome to verify.
Doing nothing is not bad, doing more is more wrong.
He came here only to rescue Xu Sheng, so Lin Qianxing didn't intend to care about other people.
Seeing that Lin Qianxing really had no intention of saving them, those people actually started shouting.
Xu Sheng was a little worried, but Lin Qianxing was not afraid at all.
Because along the way, he dealt with all the people who needed to be dealt with.
Sure enough, no matter how loudly these prisoners screamed, no one came to care about Lin Qianxing and the others.
Lin Qianxing brought Xu Sheng to the wall and said to Xu Sheng, "Get ready."
Before Xu Sheng asked what he was preparing for, Lin Qianxing picked him up and threw him against the high wall.
He almost cried out in surprise, but then found himself sitting firmly on the wall.
Lin Qianxing's force was just right and he didn't get hurt.
Seeing Xu Sheng sitting firmly, Lin Qianxing also jumped up and reached the wall.
Then he grabbed Xu Sheng with one arm and jumped directly off the wall.
"The hero has really good martial arts skills!" Xu Sheng couldn't help but exclaim after his feet touched the ground.
Lin Qianxing did not respond, but said: "Come with me, the contact is nearby."
Soon, Lin Qianxing brought Xu Sheng to the place where Wei Yeqing and others were going to meet them, got on the carriage, and then rode the carriage to another remote house.
The two men got off the carriage, entered the house, and met Wei Yeqing.
"I have brought the person out." Lin Qianxing said to Wei Yeqing.
Wei Yeqing nodded and praised: "Sir, you are very capable. I admire you. This time, if you can rescue Lord Xu, you can be regarded as saving many people. You can be said to have done a great deed..."
As he finished speaking, Lin Qianxing also gained the purple energy above his head.
It’s not too much, but it’s almost the same as the purple energy provided . If he saves more, he should be able to make further progress in the internal energy martial arts.
"I am Wei Yeqing, the president of Qingtian Society, nice to meet you, Lord Xu!" Wei Yeqing looked at Xu Sheng and said.
"I don't know if this is Mr. Wei, I'm sorry for the disrespect. I am very grateful for the help from Qingtian Society this time. If you have any instructions in the future, please feel free to let me know. I will never refuse." Xu Sheng also said.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Wei Yeqing asked someone to arrange for him to go wash up.
After being in jail for so long, and having a pot of urine poured on his head by Lin Qianxing, the smell on him now really wasn't very decent.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Xu Sheng seemed like a completely changed person .
The elegant temperament on his body cannot be concealed at all. It is a temperament built up from knowledge and self-confidence, which ordinary people can never learn.
Although he looked to be in his thirties, his eyes were not cloudy and always had a hint of light in them.
Wei Yeqing prepared a table of wine and food and enjoyed it together with Lin Qianxing and Xu Sheng.
"Sir Xu, it is truly a cause for celebration that you were able to escape from prison. I deeply admire your dedication to saving thousands of disaster victims. Let me toast you this time," said Wei Yeqing, raising his glass.
Xu Sheng also raised his glass and said, "I also want to thank you two for your rescue."
The three of them toasted each other and chatted about some things.
Most of the time, Xu Sheng and Wei Yeqing were talking, and Lin Qianxing was listening.
They are extremely dissatisfied with the current situation in the court. From top to bottom, corruption is everywhere. It is rare to see a clear and bright spot, but it will soon be infected by corrupt officials.
During the conversation, he mentioned using military rations to help disaster victims, and Xu Sheng's expression instantly became excited.
He said: "That is not food sent to the army at all, it is to be sent to the county governor to enrich himself..."
Lin Qianxing sighed in his heart, the Dawen Kingdom is really going to be finished, it's so bad.
At dawn, Lin Qianxing prepared to leave.
Wei Yeqing tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "The court is so corrupt now, it's rotten to the core. Sir, you have a sense of justice and you have such martial arts skills. Why don't you join the Qingtian Society and create something together? If you are willing to join, I am willing to give you the position of president."
Lin Qianxing shook his head and said firmly, "I'm used to being free and undisciplined. I can't do this kind of thing well."
It was useless to keep him, so Wei Yeqing had to give up.
He took out a package and handed it to Lin Qianxing, saying, "I know you don't seek fame or wealth, but traveling around the world without money will be a bit troublesome. This is a small gift from me, I hope you won't refuse it."
Lin Qianxing thought about it for a moment, and did not refuse. Instead, he nodded and said, "Thank you very much."
"Why thank you? If it weren't for your help, I don't know how many people my Qingtian Society would have lost in order to rescue Lord Xu. If anyone should thank someone, it should be me, thank you." Wei Yeqing said.
"Goodbye." Lin Qianxing clasped his fists and said.
"Goodbye!" Wei Yeqing also saluted with his fists.
Lin Qianxing nodded, then walked away.
While walking, he also saw Xu Sheng who was talking to a disciple of Qingtian Society. It seemed that he was teaching him how to use better words to attract the people. He didn't know that Lin Qianxing was about to leave, and greeted Lin Qianxing with a smile.
Lin Qianxing nodded to him slightly, as if he could vaguely see his future.
It may not be easy for Xu Sheng and Wei Yeqing to clean up the world, and their final outcome is unlikely to be very good.
But they still resolutely chose to go on this path.
Lin Qianxing quickened his pace and began to walk towards Heshan City.
He doesn't have many friends in this world.
If we have to count , Liu Shu would be one of them.
He hadn't seen Liu Shu for a while, and he wanted to know how she was doing now.
With the gold and silver given by Wei Yeqing, Lin Qianxing bought a fast horse in a county town, and his traveling speed increased suddenly. He also made himself an iron sword, which made it easier to kill bandits when he met them on the road.
More than two months later, in the flying snow, Lin Qianxing, dressed in black, rode into Heshan City on horseback.
He inquired about the Liu Mansion and learned that the Liu family had already moved away.
As for where exactly the relocation would take place, Lin Qianxing did not get an answer.
He finished his pot of wine, returned to his residence, and sat alone in his familiar seat drinking.
Out of habit, Lin Qianxing glanced at the place where Liu Shu originally sat, and a word caught his eye.
That is the character "Xuan".
"They went to Xuanzhou? That's a good place to go..."
Lin Qianxing smiled and shook his head, then continued to drink from the cup.
