Chapter 574: The Mask's True Identity Revealed
Chapter 574: The Mask's True Identity Revealed
Just as he was about to close his eyes and wait for death, he felt an extremely strong force lifting him up, and then he was bumped into a pair of strong arms, and rolled down the small grass slope beside the road.
It turned out that when Chu Xiaomu saw the barbarian using Jin Lier as a weapon, he hurriedly used his wood-related spiritual power to remove some of the force on her. But he was afraid that she would not be able to hold on and break bones, so he hugged her.
However, the force of the brute hitting him was still strong, so he had to roll down the grass slope to relieve the remaining force.
Even so, Jin Lier still fell into a coma.
Chu Xiaomu thought to himself that this was perfect, I would give this rascal a good beating, and you, Jin Lier, wouldn't see it and wouldn't suspect me.
Zou Diman shouted, "Let me kill you two, then I'll go catch that Xuan guy!" He bent his knees and half-knelt, then pushed his feet hard, flew up with a bang, and stepped towards Chu Xiaomu.
Chu Xiaomu shouted, "Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!" He then jumped into the air, exerted 50% of his original force, and slapped the barbarian.
How could the walking barbarian withstand such a strong force? His huge body flew backwards and was smashed into the ground like a stone.
Chu Xiaomu didn't wait for him to get up again, and hit him in the chest again with his palm. The man spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted immediately without even a cry.
Chu Xiaomu was worried about Jin Li'er's injury, so he jumped down the slope and leaned over to pick her up. After checking her breath, he found that her breathing was stable and there was nothing wrong with her, so he was relieved and just had to wait for her to wake up on her own.
Seeing that there was no one around, he could easily return to Jinyang City if he only carried Jin Lier. But if the walking barbarian from the Hoof Tribe of the Chisha Country woke up and encountered innocent people in Jinyang City, he would definitely kill several lives, and he would have to be captured and questioned, so he couldn't just ignore it.
It seems that we can only wait here for Jin Lier to wake up and leave on her own, or for Huang Wu Baoguan and others to come and help.
He carried Jin Li'er up the slope, muttering to himself, "This girl insisted on asking me to go back to the city to find Xuanying. She's making a fuss out of nothing. Even if the Bloodhoofs come..."
Suddenly, a soft little hand reached up, peeled off the fake mask on his face, and pulled it down hard...
Chu Xiaomu was shocked, but he had no time to spare as he was holding Jin Lier in his arms. He threw her onto the slope and quickly pressed the fake face.
Unexpectedly, in his panic, his feet slipped again, his balance was unstable, and he fell sideways on the grass slope.
As luck would have it, Jin Li'er fell on him, and the two of them hugged each other, face to face, lips to lips, and rolled all the way down the grass slope.
Chu Xiaomu smelled the charming fragrance emanating from Jin Lier. Even though he had great skills, he completely forgot to use them in this moment of panic.
The rolling stopped for a moment, and there was a crisp "slap" sound, and Chu Xiaomu was slapped hard on the face.
He hurriedly pushed away Jin Li'er who was lying on him and said angrily: "Why are you hitting people?!" He then hurriedly tried to put on the mask that Jin Li'er had torn off.
Jin Lier's pretty face turned red, like a blooming rose, and she said angrily: "It really is you, the Chu boy!"
Seeing that she had recognized him, Chu Xiaomu simply stopped sticking to her and said, "So what if it's me? The slave you looked down on saved your life today!"
Jin Li'er was so ashamed that she said, "Last time on the official road in Bicheng you hugged... and grabbed me so tightly, Master Chang and my guards saw it. Today you... you again..." Her chest was heaving violently, and she was obviously very angry. In the end, she didn't dare to say the words "hugging so tightly".
Chu Xiaomu's face also turned red, and he said, "Last time I took you hostage because I had no choice. Today... I didn't do it on purpose, and no one saw it..."
"No one sees...you...you can bully me?!"
"I said I didn't mean it, how come it counts as bullying you?"
"Then why didn't you take action earlier? Why did you have to wait until the very end? Do you want her to throw me to death?!"
"You didn't faint at all just now, did you?"
"Humph, if I didn't pretend to faint, how could I expose your fake face and know that I, Jinyang City Lin Dajinwei, was actually my former slave Chu Xiaomu?!"
"I didn't want to be the Jinwei of your Jinyang City. Today I have told you that I want to resign. Isn't that enough to satisfy you?"
"I told you that you can resign, but you have to find me someone with the same ability as you to replace me, but you didn't refuse."
Chu Xiaomu didn't answer.
Jin Lier said: "Why, as a man, don't you keep your word?"
Chu Xiaomu said unhappily: “I can’t find it!”
Jin Li'er couldn't help but smile, but it was fleeting, and Chu Xiaomu didn't notice it. She immediately changed back to a cold and serious expression and said, "Then we have to follow the laws of our Jinyang City. Cut the tendons of your hands and feet, and add a hundred lashes!"
Chu Xiaomu snorted and said, "There is no such law in your Jinyang City!"
Jin Lier said: "Why are you humming? The laws of Jinyang City were set by my Jin family. There was no such rule before, but it will be in place from today!"
Chu Xiaomu was furious and shouted, "Jin Lier! You...you..."
"I, I, what's wrong with me?!" Jin Lier said in his tone.
"You...you mustn't push your luck!"
"I'm going to push it further, what can you do to me?"
Chu Xiaomu suddenly thought: "The only two people in your Jinyang City who can fight with me are Ying Tianxing and Xuanying. However, Ying Tianxing and Xuanying have not shown up yet, so I guess they won't bother with your Yunying Palace. Xuanying won't embarrass me at all. I'm afraid that the others can't withstand three or five palm strikes from me even if they work together..."
Then he said: "You want to stop me, but I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"
This sentence actually stopped Jin Li'er completely, but she rolled her eyes and said, "If I can't stop you, can I also stop your sister Xiaoying and that big brother who is dressed as a man?"
Chu Xiaomu was startled again and asked, "Have you figured out that my elder brother is a woman dressed as a man?"
Jin Lier imitated him and snorted, saying, "Although the laws of our Jinyang City do not allow women to dress up as men, you can't plot anything under my nose!"
Chu Xiaomu said, "Stop bragging!" He ignored her and walked straight up the grass slope.
Jin Lier asked, "Where... where are you going?!" She thought that if this kid left on his own, that would be terrible. What if that barbarian woke up again, she might not be so lucky again.
Chu Xiaomu said unhappily, "Didn't you ask me why I didn't take action earlier, and why I had to wait until the end to let the evil spirit of the Red Sand Nation throw you to death? Now I'll tell you the reason."
