Chapter 385 Meeting the Goddess (2)
"What do you mean? Of course you'll be thrown into prison and severely punished. This is Kyoto, how can we allow people like you to run wild?"
The soldier spoke with contempt.
The disciples were so angry that they all started arguing.
"Why? If it weren't for Junior Master, I don't know how many people would have died."
"Is it reasonable?"
"What law have we broken?"
The soldier was extremely impatient and shouted, "If you make any more noise, we'll arrest you too!"
After saying this, he swept his spear towards Xie Ling, "Come with us, don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit."
Xie Ling raised his hand, signaling the disciples to shut up, and said coldly: "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Junior Master! You can't go with them!"
"No, why? Are you really soldiers? This is too unreasonable, obviously—"
Only Yu Wei saw what Xie Ling meant, and raised her hand to appease him, "Everyone, stop talking and let Junior Master go."
Xie Ling nodded and followed the soldier silently.
After walking away, he turned back quietly and lip-synced to them:
"wait for me."
The goddess is located in the most prosperous center of the city.
After walking out of the streets, the soldiers took Xie Ling to the Ministry of Justice prison. The road became wider and wider, and the number of pedestrians became fewer and fewer.
The west of the city is close to the Ministry of Justice, where bloodshed is often seen. All the prisoners are extremely vicious criminals. Common people think it is unlucky and seldom go there.
Xie Ling looked around to see if there was anyone around, and thrust out the needle in her hand, piercing straight into the back of the soldier's shoulder.
The two men fell to the ground.
Xie Ling moved them to a nearby street, tied them up with ropes, and blindfolded them.
Then they were injected with the antidote.
The two woke up slowly, and what they saw was darkness. They couldn't move at all, and they screamed out in fear, "How dare you! Who are you?"
Xie Ling asked, "Why did you arrest me? Who sent you?"
She didn't understand. She just evacuated the crowd, so why did two soldiers come to arrest her?
There are too many people there, and it would be hard to get away if a conflict occurs.
She simply followed them, hoping to find a place with few people before escaping.
When the two heard the sound, they realized who had captured them.
They were very surprised.
A young woman actually has such ability!
If they can be knocked unconscious easily, wouldn't it be easy to kill them too?
One of them quickly said, "Girl, we are here to arrest you just because we were ordered to do so. This is none of our business."
Another added: "Yeah!"
"Who sent you and why? Didn't you understand my question?"
Xie Ling kicked each of them hard, making them grimace in dismay.
I thought to myself, "How can a little girl be so strong? It hurts so much!"
These two are not good people.
When they came to arrest her just now, they walked in a swaggering manner, trampling over many civilians, and their official power was very strong.
One of them gritted his teeth and whispered, "Yes, it was Her Highness the Goddess. She said that she couldn't stand you being in the limelight, so she asked us to take you to the Ministry of Justice to make you suffer. Not everyone in Kyoto can be so prominent."
Xie Ling sneered.
Her guess was right, it was the fake goddess.
When she was standing on the roof just now, she saw many soldiers stationed around the false goddess.
So when the two soldiers came over, she wondered if they were sent by the fake goddess.
But she changed her mind and realized that the fake goddess had no reason to target her. She was just an ordinary citizen now.
Now hear the soldiers' words.
Xie Ling was speechless.
Just because she can't stand the fact that someone is in the spotlight, she wants to throw that person into the prison of the Ministry of Justice?
This fake goddess has such a bad heart.
It can no longer be described as petty.
Xie Ling's eyes turned cold, and she said:
"The goddess must be some important figure in your Dongling, otherwise how could she order the Ministry of Justice around so easily?"
As soon as this question came up.
The two soldiers remained silent, even their breathing became lighter.
Xie Ling knew that they didn't dare to reveal the goddess' identity, so she turned and left the street.
By the way, I also changed my outer clothes to black.
She was standing on the roof just now, far away, so those people probably couldn't see her appearance clearly.
When she returned to the center of the city, the disciples of Mingyue Island were still waiting for her.
Everyone looked anxious and was running around in a panic.
Yu Wei displayed the calmness of a senior brother, "Wait an hour, and we will go find Junior Master Uncle. We will save Junior Master Uncle even if it costs us the entire Mingyue Island. Now just stay here and wait quietly."
"No need, I'm back."
Xie Ling came over.
The disciples almost cried for joy, but then they became angry again. With excited faces, they attacked the Dongling Kingdom.
"This Dongling Kingdom is too outrageous. Junior Master is clearly doing good things, why would they arrest you?"
"That's right, I don't know whether it's right or wrong. I will never come to Dongling Kingdom again!"
Xie Ling raised her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you the specific reasons later."
As she spoke, Xie Ling looked up at the sky, "It's getting dark. Has the goddess left?"
Yu Wei replied: "I sent a few people to continue the queue, and they will probably be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples that Yu Wei mentioned came back and walked towards them through the bustling crowd.
Several people looked surprised.
"Master Junior, you're back!"
Xie Ling nodded, "Have you seen the goddess?"
A few people nodded, but their expressions looked a little strange.
At this moment, a row of soldiers ran over and shouted in a gruff voice: "Step aside, Her Highness the Goddess is leaving!"
Xie Ling and the others were pushed to the side of the road by the soldiers.
The originally crowded streets were forcibly separated by soldiers to create a wide open passage.
The people quickly bowed their heads to the ground and knelt devoutly, waiting for the goddess to pass by.
In order not to attract attention, Xie Ling and the others also half-crouched on the ground.
After a while, a very gorgeous white sedan, carried by a dozen people, slowly walked out.
The wind blew, the white veil fluttered, revealing a graceful figure.
I couldn't see her face clearly, I could only see her exquisite clothes with gold embroidery, layered and intricate and luxurious.
Wherever he went, the people shouted excitedly.
"Hail, Her Majesty the Goddess!"
"Your Highness the Goddess, Jin An!"
Only when the goddess' sedan chair was no longer visible did the group of soldiers wave their hands to signal that they could leave.
Xie Ling glanced at the hungry disciples and said, "Go eat first, we'll talk later."
"it is good!"
The disciples cheered.
Kyoto is prosperous, with silver lanterns hanging high, the night is as bright as day, and the crowds of people are bustling.
This is the city center. Not far away, we saw a very lively hot pot restaurant called "Ling Daguo".
There were more than a dozen small stools placed at the entrance of the store, and many people were sitting there waiting to be seated.
Yu Qing, who knew the outside world best among the disciples, stood up, ran to the waiter and got a note back, and explained to everyone: "You don't know yet, hot pot restaurants are very popular nowadays, and you still need to wait for a seat!
It's this note. When we are called, we will eat. We are number 327 in line."
"This is a great idea."
"So what number is it now?"
The waiter said loudly, "Two hundred and eighty-five. Please wait! We have free snacks and drinks, as well as various small games."
The voice just fell.
A few waiters came over carrying trays.
The plate is filled with fresh fruits, sour plum juice, mung bean porridge, etc.
The disciples hurriedly thanked him.
The waiter's service attitude was very good. "No thanks, no thanks. Thank you for waiting for a moment."
Xie Ling looked at this familiar pattern and was amazed.
She casually mentioned the "Haidilao" model at the time, but she didn't expect that the Gao family would actually write it down and put it into practice!
It seems to work well.
While waiting for a seat, Yuqing and several disciples went next door and bought dozens of cups of milk tea.
The group drank milk tea and played card games. In less than half an incense stick of time, they entered the store and sat down.
The seat they chose was in a private room, which was very enclosed.
As soon as they sat down, the disciples who had seen the goddess couldn't wait to speak.
