The Counterattack of the Villains

"Little Master Zhizhu, why are you here?"

After the bad boy from the Hu family left, the crowd of onlookers also dispersed, and only then did Qiao Ling'er have time to talk to Zhizhu.

Young monk Zhizhu patted the bag on his waist and explained: "The incense and candles in the temple are about to run out, and my uncle wants to give free clinics to the villagers, so he asked me to buy some and take them back."

"Originally, you could buy it at Qiaojiazhuang, but I heard that there was a Chenghuang Temple Fair today, so I wanted to come and join in the fun. If I had known you were coming, we should have gone together, and we wouldn't have suffered this disaster."

This is of course just an excuse. In fact, yesterday I saw from left and right that Qiao Ling'er would be in a bloody disaster in the near future, so she asked Zhizhu to follow her quietly to protect her.

However, they strictly followed Li Mu's instructions and tried not to interfere with Qiao Ling'er's experience unless his life was in danger.

Aaron, who was being beaten by the servants, came over with his hands on his waist and ribs, and said with fear on his face: "Fortunately, the young master is here, otherwise I would have been beaten to death by the evil young man of the Hu family."

Young monk Zhizhu looked at Qiao Ling'er's mouth full of blood and said with concern: "You have suffered internal injuries. Let's find a place first and I will help you heal your injuries so as not to cause any illnesses."

Qiao Ling'er raised her hand to wipe away the blood on her mouth, smiled and said: "Don't worry, young master, I'm still in good health. I'm fine with some minor injuries. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned around and walked up to the Bai Lianhua girls and asked with concern: "Girls, are you okay?"

Before Bai Suzhen and the others could speak, Bai Lianhua took the lead and said, "What does it have to do with you if we have something to do? You don't want us to thank you."

Bai Suzhen and the other girls turned to look at her in surprise. Bai Lianhua was not such a ungrateful person on weekdays! How could this...

But just as soon as their thoughts changed, they understood something, and a smile flashed in their eyes.

Faced with Bai Lianhua's ungrateful behavior, Qiao Ling'er didn't take it seriously and said with a good-tempered smile: "I didn't want you to thank me, but you guys should go home quickly!"

Bai Lianhua gently stroked the hair on her cheeks and said, "Do you care where we are going?"

Aaron, who was behind Qiao Ling'er, was very angry. Originally, he thought that the girls were all beautiful, and he imagined that the young master would be a hero to save the beauty. The beauty would be grateful, and maybe the young lady of the Qiao family would be happy!

But he didn't expect such a result, and his good impression of Bai Lianhua disappeared immediately, and he said angrily: "I have never seen such a shameless person like you. How did our young master get beaten up in order to save you?"

?you……"

"Along, stop talking." Seeing that Aaron was getting more and more angry as he talked, Qiao Ling'er quickly stopped him.

Bai Lianhua rolled her eyes and said disdainfully: "That's because your young master is troublesome himself, and we didn't ask him to save us."

"you……"

Aaron was furious and was about to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Qiao Ling'er.

Although Qiao Linger was not angry because of this, she was no longer in the mood to talk to Bai Lianhua anymore. She just said gently: "Aaron, let's go!"

Qiao Ling'er pulled Aaron back to Zhizhu and said with a smile: "Little master, let's go back!"

Zhizhu didn't say much, just nodded slightly, secretly glanced at Bai Suzhen and the other girls who were looking at him with smiles, twitched the corners of his mouth, and left with Qiao Ling'er.

Bai Lianhua looked at Qiao Ling'er's back until he merged into the crowd and could no longer be seen.

She was about to say something to Bai Suzhen and the other girls, but when she turned around, she saw that the five girls were all looking at her with strange eyes, feeling a little shy for no reason.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Bai Suzhen smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty, you are very different from usual today!"

Bai Lianhua felt her pretty face heat up, turned her back to the girls, and said nonchalantly: "What's different? I've always been like this!"

Xiaoxue said: "Really? In my impression, although the king is resolute and decisive in killing, he is also a good and sensible girl. But you today, haha..."

The outspoken Xiao Qing even asked directly: "My lord, are you attracted to this silly scholar?"

After all, White Lotus is White Lotus. Although she feels ashamed, she is not a coy mother-in-law.

Originally, he only had a good impression of Qiao Ling'er, but when he was teased by the sisters, a surge of pride rushed into his chest. He turned around and looked at the five girls proudly and said, "I just have a crush on him, so what?"

Ding Xiang laughed and said: "No, what are you going to do? Take him back to Fengtou Mountain and become an official in the village?"

"Pfft"

Bai Suzhen and the other girls couldn't help but laugh.

But Bai Lianhua's eyes lit up. This idea seemed... not bad?

Since the male mountain king can rob the village’s wife, why can’t I rob the village’s official?

Seeing Bai Lianhua's gleaming eyes, the five girls' laughter faltered, and Xiaoyu said in slight shock: "Your Majesty, you don't really have this plan, do you?"

Bai Lianhua said with a smile: "Why not? Let's go! Finish the business first, and then consider the issue of suppressing the village officials."

"Well……"

…

On the other side, Aaron was still angrily scolding the white lotus.

"I have never seen such a person in my life. Others stepped forward to save them regardless of their own safety. She treated her savior like this. It is too much."

Qiao Ling'er said nonchalantly: "Aaron, I didn't save them to get their gratitude, I just did what I should do. How she treats me is her business and has nothing to do with me."

Hearing this, Zhizhu said with admiration on his face: "But do good deeds and don't ask about the future. Ling'er's realm is very high. Amitabha, that's good."

Aaron pursed his lips and said, "I am not as high as you, young master. I only know that a woman's reputation is more important than her life. If you keep their innocence, you will save their lives."

"Not only does she not want to repay her for saving her life, she doesn't even have a kind word to say. Such a ungrateful woman will sooner or later..."

"Along." Before he could finish his words, Qiao Ling'er and Zhizhu stopped him in unison.

Qiao Ling'er said in a deep voice with a worried look on her face: "Practice a little virtue with your words."

Zhizhu advised: "Along, people have three karma of body, speech, and mind. If they speak lies and evil words, they will create verbal karma, which is also a kind of karma. After death, they will go to the hell of tongue pulling. Be careful with your words.

Na."

Aaron then shut up angrily and said no more.

Zhizhu rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Ling'er, I think that girl is not an ungrateful person. She seems to have a purpose in speaking like this."

Qiao Ling'er wondered: "Oh? What does the young master think she has?"

Zhizhu smiled slightly and asked: "Who do you think is the prettiest among these girls?"

Qiao Ling'er was startled for a moment, then thought about it briefly and said, "These girls are all beautiful and beautiful, each with his or her own merits. It's hard to tell them apart."

Zhizhu asked: "Then which girl has impressed you the most now?"

Qiao Ling'er laughed and said, "Of course it's the one who speaks..."

When he said this, he paused, and a bit of astonishment appeared on his face, "You mean..."

Aaron also reacted at this moment and said with bright eyes: "Young master, are you saying that the girl spoke like this on purpose to impress the young master?"

"So, she actually has a crush on the young master?"

Zhizhu laughed and said: "There is a kind of marriage in this world, which is called happy enemies."

Qiao Ling'er said dumbfounded: "Young master, you just said that speaking lies will result in bad words, why did you..."

Zhizhu said happily: "Let's wait and see. I guess this girl will definitely come to you again in the future."

"If you are guessed correctly by me, it means that what I said is true. If you never meet again, then I am lying and I am willing to accept this karma."

Hearing what Zhizhu said, Qiao Ling'er was speechless, but he didn't take it to heart.

Aaron said enthusiastically: "Master, if that girl really falls in love with you, what are you going to do?"

Qiao Ling'er laughed and shook her head: "I have no plans, just let everything take its course."

While they were talking, several people came to an inn. Zhizhu asked Aaron to get a room so that he could perform exercises for Ling'er and heal his injuries.

External injuries can be treated at home, but internal injuries cannot be delayed.

Although Zhizhu is not at a high level, he is still an immortal, and it is easy to heal a mortal's internal injuries.

Originally, it could be cured in just a cup of tea, but in order not to act too miraculous, he delayed it for half an hour.

Half an hour later, Zhizhu stopped and stood up, and the three of them returned to Qiaojiazhuang together.

After returning home, Qiao Ling'er was afraid that her grandfather would be worried, so she went to the left and right places first and asked them to use acupuncture and massage to help her activate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and heal her injuries.

Just when Qiao Ling'er took off her clothes and exposed her body, Zhizhu and the others on the left and right were stunned for an instant.

On Qiao Ling'er's bruised and bruised back, there was a ten-thousand-character Buddha seal in the middle of his vest, emitting a golden light invisible to mortals, which actually made the three of them feel like they wanted to worship.

The three of them looked at each other silently, swallowed secretly, and asked from the right to the right: "Ling'er, how did you get this ten thousand-character Buddha seal on your back?"

Seeing the solemn expressions of the three of them, Qiao Ling'er asked in confusion: "I heard from grandpa that I was born with it, what's wrong?"

Aaron on the side saw this and said, "I heard from Lao Xu and the others that when the young master was born, there was a golden light shining on the roof, lighting up the whole yard."

The three of them looked at each other again, nodded slowly, and said to the left: "That's right. Ling'er, you must be the reincarnation of the Buddha. The Buddha's seal and Buddha's light are proof."

In the entire Western Lingshan Mountain, there is only Tathagata Buddha who has been reincarnated. So, does it matter who Qiao Ling'er is?

It turned out that King Ming had already calculated the whereabouts of the Buddha's reincarnated soul boy, so he sent them to protect the soul boy.

At this time, the three of them felt quite stressed. Can they, just three angels, protect the soul boy?

Qiao Ling'er smiled nonchalantly and said, "Maybe, but no matter who I was in my previous life, I am just Qiao Ling'er in this life."

The three of them chanted in unison: "Amitabha, how good it is, how good it is."

…

At night, in the Hu Mansion, the evil young man of the Hu family was playing games with three concubines in the bedroom. A servant came to report: "Master, I have found out that this boy is Qiao Ling'er from Qiaojiazhuang."

"Their family is the largest landlord and gentry in Qiaojiazhuang, but they have no official background."

"That young monk comes from the Temple of the Great Mighty Dragon King Bodhisattva outside Qiaojiazhuang."

"That temple was originally an abandoned ruined temple. Four or five months ago, three monks, two large and one young, came and renovated the ruined temple as a residence."

"They repaired the dilapidated temple without permission from the government, and they didn't even have the paperwork. They must be wild monks with no monastic background."

After listening to the servant's report, the evil young man of the Hu family smiled ferociously and said: "Well done, those wild monks will be handed over to the county government to deal with. Just let the county magistrate know tomorrow."

"Then Qiao Ling'er dares to go against this young master. You must not let him go. Call all the people and come with me."

The servant immediately went to gather the servants and nurses. The Hu family maintained more than 20 servants and eight nurses with former martial arts backgrounds. This was also the capital of the Hu family's war to travel far and wide.

Soon, the eight martial artists held swords and swords, and the servants carried sticks and followed the evil young man of the Hu family towards the back door of Hu's house.

At the same time, Bai Lianhua, Bai Suzhen's five daughters, and dozens of female bandits under his command also happened to arrive outside the back door.

Bai Lianhua was making the final explanation: "Old rules, the ones we are going to kill today are only Hu Wanqing and his son and the servants and guards of the Hu Mansion. Do not hurt the maids, servants and other people without permission, so be careful."

"yes."

"Then move..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard the arrogant and domineering shouts of the evil young man of the Hu family from inside the door. Her eyes flashed and she narrowed slightly.

With a wave of her hand, the female bandits hid in the darkness, with only the five Bai Suzhen girls standing behind her.

"Clang"

The back door was opened, and a group of more than thirty people came out in a mighty manner. At a glance, they saw the Bai Lianhua girls standing in front of the door.

Any normal person would have felt something was wrong at this moment, but the evil young man of the Hu family is really an extraordinary person, and extraordinary people will naturally do extraordinary things.

When he saw Bai Lianhua and his entourage, all of whom were armed with swords, not only did he not show any caution, but instead said to his subordinates with surprise on their faces: "Look, the girl has come to the door on her own."

After speaking, he walked directly in front of Bai Lianhua and said with a smile: "The girl must have fallen in love with me during the day, otherwise why would she have sent him to my door?"

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Bai Lianhua's chin. Bai Lianhua pretended to be frightened and took two steps back, saying softly: "Master, don't be like this, I'm afraid."

Seeing this, the Hu family was even more proud. He took a step forward and continued to stretch out his hand and said, "Are you afraid? What are you afraid of?"

"Qiang"

The sound of a weapon being unsheathed suddenly sounded, and the outstretched arm of the evil young man from the Hu family flew away and was severed at shoulder level.

"Ahhh...oh...my hand..."

"Master..."

The evil young man from the Hu family staggered backwards, clutching his right shoulder, and was supported by a servant who turned pale with fright.

The white lotus sword was retracted as soon as it was drawn, and the voice became extremely cold: "I'm afraid that my sword will be dirty. Kill everyone without leaving a trace."

"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

The sound of weapons being unsheathed was heard one after another, and the female bandits in red and bloody clothes came out of the darkness.

When the eight Hu family guards saw so many people popping up around them, their expressions suddenly changed. They also drew their weapons and retreated through the door to protect the evil young man from the Hu family.

Without Bai Lianhua's order, the two militants Xiaoqing and Dingxiang had already drawn their swords and attacked the eight armed guards.

The two people used their body skills, and those secular martial arts masters could not see clearly. The two of them killed the martial arts masters as easily as the female bandits killed their servants.

A flash of sword light flashed in the dark night, and in an instant, more than thirty people, including the evil young man of the Hu family, fell in front of the back door of the Hu mansion.

Then the female bandits rushed into the mansion to deal with Hu Wanqing, Hu's housekeeper and others.

Bai Lianhua raised her cloak and left first with the six daughters of Bai Suzhen, saying: "Remember to throw the body to the Chenghuang Temple so that the local tyrants and evil gentry can see the consequences of being a bully."

A leader responded: "Yes."

The female bandits already had sufficient information, and they quickly found Hu Wanqing, the housekeeper and other people who deserved to be killed, and killed them one by one.

All the servants of the Hu Mansion were driven out of the mansion, and the gold and silver in the warehouse were carried away by the female bandits. Finally, the Hu Mansion was burned to the ground.

Back at the temporary base at the foot of Fengtou Mountain, Bai Lianhua called one of her subordinates and ordered: "Go to Qiao's house and invite Qiao Ling'er over."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Watching the leader leave, Xiaoxue said in a funny voice: "Your Majesty, do you plan to have people deliver it to your door?"

Bai Lianhua pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Be polite first and then fight. If he obediently comes to the door, that would be the best. If he doesn't come, it's not too late to rob him."

Xiaoyu covered her mouth and smiled and said: "It seems that this time, the king is really tempted, but that Qiao Ling'er seems to be a bit stubborn. If he is not willing, the king will have to work hard."

Bai Lianhua snorted and said: "He is stubborn, I am more stubborn than him, let's see who is more stubborn than the other."

…

In Qiao's house, in the study, Qiao Ling'er was reading at night by herself, with bookboy Aaron accompanying her.

Lao Xu suddenly walked into the study and reported: "Master, a woman in red came to the house and said she has something to do with the master."

"Women in red?" Qiao Ling'er pondered for a moment, then remembered that there seemed to be two women in red behind the women rescued this morning.

He couldn't help but feel a cry in his heart. Zhizhu's words were still ringing in his ears. The other party actually came to the door. Could it be...

Qiao Ling'er's face changed slightly, and she said to Aaron: "Let's go and have a look."

When I arrived at the gate, I saw a woman in red walking around inside the open gate.

The only difference is that the woman now has a long sword in her hand.

Qiao Ling'er hurried forward to greet her and asked, "The girl came here at night and brought a weapon with her. Did something happen again?"

The female bandit leader said: "Nothing happened. My master invites you to come."

Qiao Ling'er asked doubtfully: "Your master?"

The female bandit leader said: "It's the woman in the white dress you saw this morning."

Qiao Ling'er's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this. He originally thought that Bai Lianhua was some kind of lady, but judging from the name of this woman, it seemed that was not the case.

Because "Master" is generally used to address the head of the family, if Bai Lianhua is really a lady, this woman should be called "My Miss".

It’s not like that girl is already the head of the family at such a young age! Is there no man in her family?

"What's your master's name? Do you want me to go for anything?"

The female bandit leader couldn't answer this question. As someone who grew up in a village, she didn't know much about the ways of the world.

If she had to answer, she could only say bluntly that my master is interested in you and wants to meet you.

But no matter how ignorant she was of the ways of the world, she would never be able to say this.

So she had to say: "Don't ask so many questions, just go and go."

This was said so rudely that Qiao Ling'er, who had originally intended to go and meet her, suddenly lost her intention.

He is just kind, but not without his own opinion. As long as the other party gives a reasonable reason, he is willing to go there for a while.

But the other party's attitude didn't look like he was asking for a favor. Instead, he was clearly giving an order. Even the kindest person would feel displeased.

"I don't think so. Miss, please come back!" After Qiao Ling'er said that, she turned around and prepared to go back to her room.

The female bandit leader's expression condensed, and she said with an unkind expression: "Qiao Ling'er, if you don't want to be toasted or eat, you will be fined with wine. My master thinks highly of you and that's why he lets you go."

As soon as she said these words, the matter was basically declared obsolete.

The female bandit on Fengtou Mountain is pretty good at martial arts, but her communication skills are really at a loss.

Coupled with the bandit habits they have acquired from years of living in a copycat village, they are destined to hit a wall when dealing with people like Qiao Ling'er who are motivated by scholarly business.

As expected, after hearing her words, Qiao Ling'er put her hands behind her back and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Although I am young, I have never dared to belittle myself, so I don't need anyone to look up to me."

"Besides, if you treat me as a friend, you should treat me with courtesy. How does it look like you are treating me like this? It seems like the government is arresting people. Aaron, see you off."

Aaron on the side was very happy, looked at the female bandit leader jokingly, stretched out his hand and said: "Girl, please!"

"You..." Qiao Ling'er's words made the female bandit leader's pretty face turn red.

She also knew that the way she spoke was inappropriate, but their bandits had always behaved like this, and she would not show weakness.

The female bandit leader stared at Qiao Ling'er and gritted her teeth: "Do you know who my master is?"

Qiao Ling'er chuckled and said, "I don't care who she is, I'm just telling you that I'm not going to see her off."

Aaron looked sideways at the female bandit leader and said impatiently: "Let's go!"

The female bandit leader nodded and said, "Okay, you have the guts. I'll see how long you can last. I hope you won't regret it, hum."

After saying that, he turned around and left happily. When he turned around, he flicked his black hair, which almost hit Qiao Ling'er's face.

Aaron crossed his arms and said angrily: "Master, I have never seen such an unreasonable person. I think they are all the same, they are simply robbers!"

"You should forget what little master Zhizhu said. We'd better stay away from such people."

Qiao Ling'er said noncommittally: "Okay, don't worry about them, let's go back! Let's go."
