The weeds on the roadside were covered with drops of water, shining with crystal light.
Fang Yingnan had already led Lin Baisheng out of the ruined temple and walked towards Jiangdu City.
The two of them just walked like that, saying nothing all the way.
A handle of "Evil Lai" is held in the left hand for a while, then in the right hand, and then in the left hand again. It is like a restless heart, unable to calm down and have no peace.
It was Lin Boxheng who spoke first and asked, "Where is Mr. Fang from?"
Fang Yingnan's throat tightened and he said: "I am from Northern Qi. I spent some time in the Golden Summit Palace when I was a child."
Lin Baisheng opened his eyes, and his eyes were sparkling, and even the dew was shining brightly: "Are you studying martial arts in Jinding Palace? I heard my father say that Jinding Palace is the Taoist sect in the world, and its Taoism and martial arts are top-notch in the world. No wonder
Mr. Fang, you are so powerful."
Fang Yingnan's cheeks turned red. Normally, he and Jinding Palace were not in a teacher-student relationship. It was just that Yun Xiaozi liked him and taught him a few tricks. However, vanity was at work, and he did not make any excuses. He just said: "It's okay.
Well, just so-so."
Lin Baisheng smiled and said: "Master Fang is too modest. I think your sword is not ordinary. A sword is naturally worthy of a hero."
Speaking of "Eilai", Fang Ying was stumped and perked up. He handed "Eilai" to Lin Baisheng's eyes and said, "This sword is called Eilai."
"Evil?" Lin Boxheng was surprised, "Why did such a beautiful sword have such a name?"
"This name was not chosen by me, it has existed since ancient times. It is said that this sword contains the soul of Ying Elai, the favored minister of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, sealed in it, so the lines on the sword naturally formed the word 'Eilai'." As he spoke, Fang
It was difficult to pull the sword out of its scabbard, and there were indeed two words of evil under the sword's light.
"I know, Xilai is Fei Lian's eldest son. My father told me the story of King Wu's defeat of Zhou. He said that King Wu himself shot Xilai into the mouth and killed him with one arrow." Lin Baisheng said, and also did
He made a bow-drawing gesture, which made the two of them laugh.
After this quarrel, the barrier between the two gradually disappeared, and Lin Boxheng also caught up with Fang Yingnan from behind and stood side by side with him.
Fang Yingnan smiled. He didn't expect that this little girl knew a lot: "You actually know about this. You shouldn't judge people by their appearance."
"You look down on people!" Lin Boxheng pouted, "I...I come from a scholarly family. After becoming an official, I naturally know a lot more."
Fang Yingnan smiled up at the sky and said, "That's not true. It seems that I think highly of you. I originally thought you were a princess, but it turns out you are just a young lady from a scholarly family."
"You are such a bad person, I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Lin Boxheng folded his hands in front of his chest, his cheeks bulging like an angry pufferfish.
Fang Ying couldn't see Lin Baisheng being angry, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and said flatteringly: "Miss Lin, I can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. You, sir, have a lot of money, so don't be the same as me, okay?"
Lin Boxheng was not really angry. He just smiled and said, "I'm not angry either. I'm just pretending to scare you. You've already said so. It would be too stingy for me to worry about it any more."
Fang and Lin were talking and making trouble like this. Unknowingly, the gate tower of Jiangdu City appeared in front of them. Looking at the word "Jiangdu" that gradually became clear, both of them felt something in their hearts.
A little strange.
"We will arrive in Jiangdu soon. Where do you live?" Fang Yingnan asked.
Lin Boxheng lowered his head and said: "Actually, as long as I enter Jiangdu City, someone will come to pick me up."
Fang Yingnan nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, you have been away from home for a day, and your family must be anxious."
Lin Boxheng also nodded.
"Then... can I see you again in the future?" Fang Yingnan tightened his hold on "Ele".
Lin Boxheng nodded, with a look in his eyes, and said timidly: "As long as you ask about Lin Mansion in Jiangdu City, someone will naturally give you directions. If you come to find me, just go to the back door of Lin Mansion, knock on the door and say, "I'm looking for you.
Xiaotao, I knew it was you who came to find me."
Fang Yingnan nodded slowly and walked side by side towards Jiangdu City with Lin Baisheng.
Just when the two of them were approaching the gate of Jiangdu City, dozens of Qingqi suddenly sprang out of the city. They were dressed in green attire, with steel knives hanging on their waists, and they rushed out of the city while shouting.
Fang Yingnan looked at those people and couldn't help but worry about Bai Buchou in the ruined temple: The corpses in the ruined temple hadn't been taken care of yet. If someone bumped into them, could Brother Bai be able to handle it?
The sound of horse hooves faded away, the smoke dispersed, and several shouts came from inside the city gate.
"Miss, miss!"
An old man with a gray beard in the city waved his arms and ran towards Lin Boxheng in a hurry.
Lin Boxheng looked at the old man with a smile on his face: "Uncle Lin!"
Although the old man had a gray beard, his body was strong and strong. Although he was not a boy's face and his hair was white, he looked a bit advanced. He looked like a practicing master at first glance. He greeted Lin Baisheng, then turned his gaze to Fang Yingnan, and asked
Said: "Miss, who is this?"
"Uncle Lin, this is Mr. Fang, thank you for saving me."
Upon hearing this, the old man respectfully raised his hands and said, "Thank you for saving me, sir. I don't know your name, but would you like to come and tell me about it at home."
Fang Yingnan also held up his hands and said: "Senior, you are too polite to deal with the difficulty below. I am not trying to shirk it, but I still have a brother who is injured and I really can't worry about it. Since Miss Lin is fine, I will say goodbye now."
Uncle Lin wanted to say a few more polite words, but Fang Yingnan had already raised his hands and saluted: "Senior, Miss Lin, I take my leave."
After saying that, Fang Yingnan glanced at Lin Baisheng's eyes and hurried towards the ruined temple.
Lin Bo looked at Fang Yingnan's back and then at his young lady's expression. He understood something in his heart and said, "Miss, please go back home. The master and madam are almost dying of anxiety."
Lin Boxheng nodded and said, "Well, I miss my father and mother very much too."
Uncle Lin led Lin Bai Sheng into the sedan chair, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of followers surrounded the sedan chair and headed towards the Lin Mansion.
With such a grand appearance, Lin Boxheng is naturally not a young lady from an ordinary family. As the only Lin family in Jiangdu City, the power of the Lin family is evident.
As a wealthy family in Jiangdu, thirty-two people from the Lin family hold official positions above the fifth rank in the Jiangzuo Dynasty. Lin Baisheng's father, Lin Cheng, is a veteran figure in the Jiangzuo Dynasty, and his qualifications are even higher than those of Zhao Hanguo.
It's all better, and the Lin family is not only senior, but also sophisticated in their methods.
The Lin family bets on both sides. Yan Xuanji and Zhao Hanguo have many Lin family members who are close associates. No matter what happens in this political whirlpool, the Lin family will always be prosperous in the Jiangzuo court.
Lin Mansion.
As a wealthy family in Jiangdu, the Lin family's mansion is naturally not small, with endless pavilions and pavilions. The overall layout is a "coffin" layout, which means "accepting wealth and gathering blessings" in Feng Shui. The layout adopts "front hall and back bed", consisting of three rooms.
It consists of a courtyard and a back garden with five entrances.
Entering the mansion and walking around the screen wall, the white marble arched door is engraved with the four characters "Jinghan Taikou" on the outside and the four characters "Xiu Yi Hengchun" on the inside, which means to enjoy the tranquility of Taikoo and embrace the spring scenery of the garden.
After passing the white marble gate, Father Lin could be seen pacing back and forth in the courtyard, looking anxious.
"Daddy!"
Lin Boxheng called softly.
Father Lin stopped for a moment and looked back, tears streaming down his cheeks: "Sheng'er, my Sheng'er, where have you been? Dad is so worried that I want to write a letter asking Zhao Xiangguo to send internal guards to find him."
You!"
Lin Boxheng gently stroked his father's back and said, "Dad, don't worry, isn't my daughter back?"
"Oh, let me see if you have lost weight due to hunger." "Old Lin, go quickly and tell the kitchen to cook some delicious food." "Where's the maid, Tao'er, here's the maid, please change your clothes and give her bath water."
, but also bath water!”
Father Lin took his daughter's hand and shouted loudly to the maids in the mansion.
"Sheng'er, please tell me quickly, what's wrong with you and why you suddenly disappeared."
Lin Boxheng looked at his father's anxious look and comforted him: "No matter what happened to me, I'm not back now. Don't worry about me, daddy."
"Then where have you been?" Lin's father then asked.
"Actually...actually, I..." Lin Baisheng said timidly, "Actually, I was kidnapped by gangsters. Fortunately, I met two knights who took action, and I escaped from death."
Father Lin took his daughter's wrist and saw the traces of being tied with a rope: "Ah, who tied you? Who dared to tie us, the Lin family, who got the courage to eat a bear's heart and a leopard's heart?"
"I don't know either." Lin Boxheng pouted again, "Why didn't dad ask who saved me?"
As soon as Lin Boxheng finished speaking, Lin Bo came over and said, "Miss, please take a bath and change clothes."
"Yes, Sheng'er, go and take a bath quickly to wash away all this bad luck. Then everything will be fine in the future." Lin's father comforted him.
Lin Boxheng looked at his father's look, feeling both funny and distressed in his heart. He nodded and said, "Good daddy, I'm going to take a bath right now."
Watching Lin Boxheng leave, Father Lin's loving face turned cold instantly, and his eyebrows were as cold as swords: "Old Lin, how did the young lady come back?"
"A young man sent it back," Lin Bo said.
"What kind of young man is that?"
"A young man named Fang Yingnan. It seems that he has good martial arts skills, looks good, and his sword is also good."
"What else?"
"Apart from these, I think Miss likes him a little bit." Lin Bo responded.
Father Lin's face was startled, and Fang Yingnan did not ask any more questions. As a father, he had a hint of hostility towards any young man who approached his daughter rashly: "Let's not talk about it, the young lady was kidnapped.
Find out who kidnapped him, I, Lin Cheng, have recorded this grudge."
