334 Just Invincible Prior to Knowing Destiny (2/2)
As soon as the steward of the Princess' Mansion left, the latest news came out from the back of the mansion. The prefectural magistrate had already been seriously ill, and now fell into an unconscious coma. Apparently, he had cared about working for His Majesty as well as the people and had tried to get up to deal with the case, only to bump into the door because of his high fever.
This kind of official who was diligent in government affairs was really rare—it was this kind of excuse. Zhuge Wuren and the others did not believe it and angrily entered the back of the mansion. However, after a short moment, they came back with complicated expressions.
”Is there such a shameless official in the Tang Empire?” Zhuge Wuren lamented.
He Mingchi thought of the horrible bloody wound on the head of the prefectural magistrate and sighed, ”It's really well played.”
Wang Jinglue lamented, ”He would rather hurt himself than deal with the case. Good for him!”
Zhuge Wuren suddenly said, ”In that case, I'll bring this little maidservant back to the palace first.”
Wang Jinglue frowned.
Zhuge Wuren said, ”Someone in the palace will explain to the grand general later.”
Wang Jinglue still frowned.
...
...
People came and went. Snow rose and fell.
The snow fell on yellow paper umbrellas, branches, eaves and the bedding. Perhaps the quilt was too big and blocked the little girl who was holding it. Perhaps the people who came and went were thinking about something important. So they forgot that the person they were discussing was right beside them. In short, Sangsang who was standing between the wind and snow was forgotten by them.
No one noticed that she also frowned.
Sangsang was a little girl unwilling to cause trouble for Ning Que.
At first, the Chang'an Local Government had only asked her about the case, so she had come here. And then she did all they had asked, including standing in front of the government, before the garden, in the wind and snow. But when she realized that the official really wanted to grab the things entrusted to her, and even seemingly wanted to bring her to the palace, she started to hesitate.
Sangsang was a person who would fight over several taels of silver even at the cost of her own life. What's more, the thing that these people wanted to steal from her was obviously worth even more money. Besides, they were the things that her teacher had left for her and Master Yan Se had left for Ning Que. So she frowned.
Her frown indicated her unhappiness and disapproval.
She stretched her head over the thick bedding with difficulty and looked at the shameless official who had wanted to bring her into the palace and rob her belongings. A deep, subtle light glinted in her dark and clear eyes. And then the light blazed quickly.
Suddenly a cold wind blew over.
The solemn Divine Light deep in Sangsang's eyes suddenly faded away. She slowly lowered her head.
...
...
Wind was just flowing air. The reason why a cold wind suddenly blew over here was that a huge object abruptly appeared in the air. And that object was a very fat young man.
The fat young man appeared in the park and caused a gust of winter wind. But he quickly drove away the winter wind and brought warmth to everyone. It was as warm as his handsome and lovely eyes and brows.
”There are so many people here.”
Sangsang looked up at him and gently nodded.
The fat young man looked at the three people and said, ”If the prefectural magistrate of Chang'an City dares to deal with the case, you may interrogate Sangsang as per the law of the Tang Empire. If he instead chooses to lie on his bed, you shouldn't stay here embarrassing yourselves.”
Zhuge Wuren became solemn as he looked at this person who was reproaching him. ”Who are you? How dare you say so!”
The fat young man chose to ignore these people and took the bedding from Sangsang's arms. ”Let's go!”
Sangsang followed behind him and prepared to leave as honestly as she had come.
Wang Jinglue did not know who this fat young man was, but he could vaguely guess the person's identity. He looked at the youngster's back and could not help feeling a little excited. So he gently waved his sleeves and moved one step forward.
The young man stopped and turned to glance at him.
A vague aura passed through the two people instantaneously. The breeze stilled and those slowly falling snowflakes trembled in midair, yet Wang Jinglue's body shook violently.
Wang Jinglue grew more and more excited. His right hand slightly trembled on his side, as if holding a virtual sword.
The fat young man looked at his right hand and frowned slightly. He struggled to move the bedding to his left shoulder, then raised his right hand. He stretched his index finger to make a pressing motion toward the other at a distance.
With this pressing motion, Wang Jinglue's chest and abdomen suddenly collapsed, as if being hit by an huge invisible hammer. He suddenly hit the wall behind him. A shocking and squeaking sound appeared among the dust and gravel.
”No-boundary spirit!”
”Natural Stream Magical Finger!”
The snow and dust gradually subsided.
The fat young man looked at Wang Jinglue, who was bleeding from the corner of his lips under the broken wall, and shook his head slightly carelessly.
”Even if you are Invincible prior to Knowing Destiny.”
”You're also only Invincible prior to Knowing Destiny.”
