Lin Manliu saw that the men in black were scattering, and after looking around to confirm that there were no traces of those in black, he turned to look at Jiang Yanlin, who was calling him.

"Didn't Young Master Jiang leave yesterday? Why are you still in Hangzhou now? Who were those men in black just now?" The young man in a short shirt asked the young master of the Jiang family in front of him, seeming to be a little anxious.

After all, he plans to set off to chase Moon Girl.

"It took me some time to buy the necessary things on the road yesterday, and I just left the city today. Just when I was here, some men in black suddenly rushed out and blocked my way. If it hadn't been for the timely help of Brother Liu, I would have been dead today.

"Yes," Jiang Yanlin said with a grateful face.

At this moment, Jiang Yanlin had just finished speaking and his face seemed to become extremely frightened. Just as he was about to open his mouth and shout, Lin Manliu followed his gaze and looked behind him.

It was the figure of a strange man holding a bamboo umbrella in his right hand. The umbrella was held down so low that his face could not be seen at all. All he could see was an extremely small silver needle twisting between the fingers of his left hand, which was not there just now.

Sensing signs of this person's presence around him, Lin Manliu was suddenly hit by someone just as he was trying to escape.

It was Jiang Yanlin. He knocked the young man in short shirt in front of him to the ground. He immediately spread his bed downwards. With a "swish-" sound, the silver needle fell from the hand of the man holding the umbrella at the same time as the two fell to the ground.

It ejected and passed through Jiang Yanlin's hair crown by great coincidence, directly piercing his hair crown and the bun tied with a hosta inside.

In an instant, his hair was scattered, and he fell to the ground in a very embarrassed state. Lin Manliu stood up quickly to prepare for the second attack of the man holding the umbrella. He just stood up with his sword and looked forward, only to find that there was no one in front of him.

, only scattered bamboo leaves are floating in the air.

If the young master of the Jiang family, who was still crawling on the ground beside him, hadn't pushed him to the ground in a hurry, the silver needle might have penetrated the back of his head and killed him on the spot.

Jiang Yanlin smoothed his messy hair and stood up. He stood on the side of the boy in a short shirt and said in a very scared voice: "Brother Liu scared me to death just now. I thought I was going to be separated from my mother at home."

After he finished speaking, he saw beads of sweat starting to form on his forehead.

"It doesn't matter, the man immediately retreated without succeeding after one blow..." Lin Manliu said after thinking for a moment, thinking that the man himself couldn't detect his figure and the speed of his attacks, so why did he still have to do it?

The retreat and the behavior of the men in black just now were really strange.

They only tried to block him, and Jiang Yanlin who jumped out of the car was kicked back to the carriage in a symbolic way. However, they had the opposite attitude towards the escorting guards, who tried to kill him as much as possible.

Some time later, Lin Manliu was looking around carefully to see if there were any accomplices of those people lurking in the dark. He planned to escort him for a while before leaving. Jiang Yanlin followed him and talked about something.

To trivial matters, the boy in short shirt simply responded and continued to pay attention to the movements around him.

After the guards beside the carriage disposed of the body and the scattered belongings of the carriage, they approached the two people and asked what Jiang Yanlin meant. Seeing that someone was interrupting his conversation with Brother Liu, the young master of the Jiang family seemed a little angry and scolded them to hurry up and finish cleaning up.

I had to continue on my way, so I turned around and greeted Brother Liu next to me with a smiling face.

When he mentioned that he was preparing to return to Yuezhou, which was an important matter entrusted to him by his family, Jiang Yanlin suddenly stopped what he was about to say, and just waved his hand without continuing.

Seeing the opportunity, the young man in short shirt said: "Yes, I still have to thank Brother Jiang for helping me. I was almost injured by the mysterious villain. I have some important things to do and prepare to leave first. Mr. Jiang saw that the carriage was packed and he quickly set off to get away from this and wrong."

We need to be careful on the way to Yuezhou."

Jiang Yanlin suddenly said with a righteous face: "Brother Liu, wait a minute, I know I can't delay Brother Liu's important matters, but what happened to Brother Liu today can be regarded as sharing the same trouble. I dare to marry Brother Liu and travel together in Jinlan someday."

Go to the end of the world."

This question is really embarrassing for Lin Manliu, but he thinks that he is still destined to be with Jiang Yanlin. He has been sincerely protecting each other just now. Apart from Miss Yue and the old liar in yellow shirt, this person may be sincere to him.

.

He could only accept the request from the young master named Jiang in front of him. He handed over his hand and said: "Very good, but I am just an idler in the mountains. I hope Brother Jiang will not regret what I did today...".

Jiang Yanlin didn't wait for Lin Manliu to finish his words, and directly grabbed the young man's hands and said: "Today is a bit rushed. Brother Liu has something important to attend to, and Yanlin has to return home to Yuezhou as soon as possible. Let's high-five each other first."

, From now on you are the brother and I am the brother, we will tie this golden orchid to control the rivers and mountains.”

After saying that, he raised his right hand and pushed it towards Lin Manliu. The boy in a short shirt also raised his right hand in a decent manner. The two high-fived each other and made an oath. When they looked at Jiang Yan, he saw that his eyes seemed to be twinkling.

, is an affirmation of this somewhat hasty oath, and his own persistence in this affection.

The boy in the short shirt felt a little warm in his heart when he saw this. It seemed that from today on, he had an extra friend inexplicably, a friend who wanted to protect him.

"I don't know how old Brother Liu is yet, but I only believe that Brother Liu's young genius is better than mine. That is, Brother Liu is the greatest, and I, Jiang Yanlin, am the second." Young Master Jiang said from the side.

"It's the sixteenth year of the year, by the way, actually I..." Lin Manliu pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered what Yue Hanzhi said to him yesterday, and answered the question affirmatively. Next year's birthday girl has already passed it for him.

, I will be seventeen next February.

"Isn't it a coincidence? I'm the same age as Brother Liu, so you can just call me Yanlin or Alin. My mother at home often calls me Alin." Jiang Yanlin was a little happy after hearing this, but before Lin Manliu could

After he finished speaking, he interrupted loudly.

"Well... Then Yan Lin, you should hurry up and prepare to return to Yuezhou. I will leave soon." The boy in a short shirt gave up the opportunity to explain his name and patted the young master on the shoulder.

"Listen to Brother Liu, I will set off immediately. When we meet one day, I will definitely share everything I have gained with Brother Liu. You and I will enjoy the glory and wealth together!" Jiang Yanlin said with firm eyes.

"Definitely" Finally, the two of them said goodbye to each other. Lin Manliu watched the carriage leave and then went to lead his horse and planned to continue on the road.

...

In an inconspicuous stream deep in the bamboo forest, there were more than a dozen people dressed in all black, all half-kneeling around the stream. In the center of their crowd was a man holding an umbrella. He could not be seen.

appearance.

A man in black at the front clasped his fists and said: "We can't succeed this time. Where should we take action next? Please give me your advice."

"You seem to be questioning my decision?" the man holding the umbrella asked.

"I don't dare. I don't understand why the man who just appeared out of thin air is still alive." The man in black asked the question again, but now his hands began to tremble slightly.

"I have decided on the future deployment, and I will continue to tell you how to act. Remember to understand that the empire's sharpest blade will always be us," the man holding the umbrella said in a more serious tone.

"Yes -" this time it was the half-kneeling men in black who said in unison.
