Lin Yue strolled through the capital at the beginning of the lanterns, looked at the still lively streets, and prepared to go to Xicheng Quan Su Zhai to make an appointment. He already knew that Xuanyu Tianzun did not plan to deal with him for the time being, and if he wanted to sneak attack under the Yushan Gate in the capital, he would not invite him first. With their skills, they won't be able to find out Lin Yue's whereabouts.

There is another point that makes Lin Yue very curious, although he is not a subordinate of Butterfly Valley now, he is in the same vein after all. If this mysterious inviter was really from Yushan, how could he contact him through Xiao Huairen, an outsider?

Walking on the streets of Xicheng, there is really a little nostalgia, in order to prevent any accidents from happening when he is recognized, Lin Yue deliberately blurs his face with anger, if ordinary people take a picture with him, they will only feel that they have passed by a person, but they can't remember his appearance at all.

Soon he came to the vegan Zhai, the vegan is a restaurant in the civilian area of Xicheng, famous for its imitation meat dishes, with green vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter melon, and south after seasoning, so that the dishes are comparable to the real meat dishes in terms of appearance and taste, but the cost is only one-third of the meat dishes or even lower, which is deeply loved by the ordinary people in this area.

The female shopkeeper here is Sister Quan, who has not been seen for several years, and is known on the street as Shuangdao Violent Spring, with a hot temper, but she is very good.

Lin Yue took off his angry disguise and smiled: "Sister Quan, I haven't seen you for a long time, business is good." ”

Sister Quan was also pleasantly surprised: "Dean Lin, oh no, it's Marquis Lin, are you really back?" The koi hall has been prepared, and the guests have also come." ”

Someone had already set a private room before, explaining that Lin Yue was invited to the banquet, and Sister Quan was very shocked at that time, Lin Yue was an official in Xicheng District for a long time, and then he broke the Demon Sect, occupied the capital, and was named An Linghou. It's no longer the grassroots officer who is idle with himself. No matter how arrogant her temperament is, Sister Quan knows the difference between high and low, and she doesn't dare to be rude in front of Lin Yue.

Lin Yue didn't care, looked around and asked, "Sister Quan, is business okay now?"

As soon as she said this, Sister Quan also sighed: "Business is not bad, but the world is not peaceful, and there are more and more payments with it." ”

In today's troubled times, even the capital is not spared, when the third prince and the fourth prince fought and destroyed the defense array that the capital had maintained for a hundred years. Now that the sea of demons is also dead, the capital has almost become a place where anyone who wants to come can come. Today's eunuch party is wanton and troublesome, and tomorrow the party suddenly comes to power to run the new policy, and it has not been a few days before the soldiers of the Shu army and the Jin army are coming to the city. Without waiting for the people of the capital to react, the Marquis of Shu entered the city.

Within a year, three kings were changed, and then the foreign princes formed a coalition army, and the capital was simply in a state of panic and distress. However, the business of vegan food is not bad, unlike ordinary restaurants, they imitate meat with vegetarian dishes, the kind that cannot be seen on the surface. There are a lot of down-and-out people who set dishes here in order to save face, so business is much better than other places.

It's just that now the person in power above will change for a while, and as long as the person is replaced, there will be a lot of apportionment and taxes, which makes Sister Quan scratch her head very much.

After chatting for a few more sentences, under the leadership of the little sister who served him, Lin Yue came to the fixed koi hall, but he was stunned when he first entered the private room: "I really didn't expect this." ”

There were indeed two old acquaintances in the private room, and the one sitting there was actually Long Aotian, the eldest disciple of the third generation of Yushan, and behind him stood the phantom Thousand Machine Lacquer Carving.

Long Aotian smiled: "Senior Brother Lin, please take a seat." ”

Lin Yue and Long Aotian didn't have much contact, but they did know each other. Whether it was the three religions at the beginning, or the officials in Beijing later, they had met a few times. Lin Yue suddenly discovered the weapon beside Long Aotian, wasn't that the Jade Soul Knife?

Long Aotian seemed to see Lin Yue's thoughts, and put the jade sword on the table: "This was originally a thing for Senior Sister Mo Qingyu, but I did her a small favor at the beginning, in exchange for it." Of course, Lin Yue understood that Dugu Sisi's hands and feet were abolished at the beginning, and even Mo Qingyu couldn't be treated, but Mo Qingyu still exchanged the jade knife for Dugu Sisi to return to normal, but he didn't expect that this transaction object was Long Aotian.

Long Aotian glanced at the lacquer carving behind him again: "As for the reason for Miss Lacquer Carving, it's the same as Senior Sister Mo." ”

Lin Yue immediately understood that Kong Chen, the elder brother of Qi Carving Ling in the Tyrant Republic of China, was seriously injured, and it seemed that the Qianshan family had not been able to help him heal, and this Long Aotian was really hidden. He then asked, "How is Brother Kong Chen's health now?"

"Senior Brother Lin, please rest assured, although the cultivation of skill can no longer be recovered, at least you can sit and lie down and walk like a normal person, and your daily life will be fine. ”

Lin Yue couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother Long is really a good means. ”

"Hehe, I just have some adventures. This time, I asked Senior Brother Lin to come over, there were two things, one was entrusted by Brother Kong to bring Miss Qidiao to meet you. ”

Lin Yue knew that Long Aotian must have understood his relationship with Qi Diaoling, and he was noncommittal about this so-called first thing, the point was definitely not here, but it was just to pave the way for the later words: "Thank you Senior Brother Long for bringing Ah Ling to see me, I don't know what the second thing is......"

Long Aotian stared at Lin Yue and said, "I heard that Senior Brother Lin intends to establish a foundation in the northwest......

"Senior brother is really well-informed, I only found Xiao Huairen and Master Xiao in the past two days, and Senior Brother already knows. ”

Long Aotian didn't care about the meaning of Lin Yue's words, but just said: "Not only that, but that princess disciple of yours is now in the northern Xinjiang. ”

"Oh, I don't know. ”

"So Senior Brother Lin, I want to make a deal with you, or let's cooperate. ”

Lin Yue looked at Long Aotian and didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

......

In the evening, Lin Yue took Qi Diaoling back to his original small courtyard in Xicheng, if it wasn't for Ji Ya who lived for a while before, and was not popular for so long, I am afraid that he would not be able to clean it up for a while.

Through the conversation with Long Aotian, Lin Yue knew that Yushan seemed to be looking for something in the capital, and his small courtyard had been searched a long time ago, and even Xuanyu Tianzun came to see it in person. Lin Yue was very relieved at this point, after all, the sealing technique passed down by the ancestors of the Ma family, coupled with the blessing of the Psychic Immortal Monarch, even if it was the Jade Mountain Sect, it would be difficult to crack it for a while.

Just now, Long Aotian also intended to explore what Lin Yue was hiding, but seeing that Lin Yue was unwilling to reveal it, he did not continue to ask the bottom line, he knew that this was Lin Yue's hole card, and it was also the confidence that he dared to hold on to Yushan.

And Lin Yue also saw some clues, what he hid was naturally the heirloom jade seal containing the supreme treasure of the human race, which was in this courtyard. It's just that ordinary people can't find it, but this can't help Xuanyu Tianzun, if he really makes up his mind to find it.

Since there is such a line left, it is a vague indication that he is not ready to embarrass Lin Yue for the time being, so that Lin Yue thinks that he has 'dependence' in hand, so that everyone can do well water in a short period of time without river water.

As the titular first disciple of the third generation, Long Aotian's status in Yushan seems to be up for debate. If Long Aotian did not hide or deceive himself in today's all-vegetarian covenant, it would mean that Yushan had reservations about this big disciple. And this big disciple himself is not at ease. This solved a doubt that Lin Yue had always had, Yushan and Butterfly Valley had killed each other, Lin Yue was shocked by Yushan's execution, whether it was killed or killed, all the disciples of Yushan could accept it calmly.

is the same as the three sects, first look at the elf island, let the psychic immortal monarch be divided, and send his own people to fight his own people. Looking at Butterfly Valley again, everyone respects the master of Dream Butterfly Valley, and every disciple is also like a family, but it is because of too much affection that there will be things that appear in order to avenge the same sect, regardless of the master's edict, one after another out of the mountain and Yushan fight. Yushan felt like a monk to Lin Yue many times, more like a dead soldier, or a tool man cultivated by Xuanyu Tianzun.

But today Lin Yue knew, it turned out that there were also places in Yushan that Xuanyu Tianzun couldn't control.

Lin Yue entered the house with the lacquer carving: "My disciple lived for a while before, but after such a period of time, there is still a little messy ...... here."

In the past few days, Lin Yue returned to the capital, still living in his own small courtyard, but he was alone, so he didn't clean up much, just simply tidied up the original bedroom, and the other rooms didn't even have futons, let alone live in people.

Back here, Qi Diaoling couldn't help but think of the happy time when she lived with Lin Yue and said: "It's okay, as long as there is a corner, I can accommodate ......" Qi Diaoling, who is used to sleeping in the open air, where does he care about this?

Qi Diaoling was just about to turn around, but Lin Yue grabbed her hand and smiled: "Do we still need to do this between us?"

Hearing this, even Qi Diaoling, who usually has few expressions, couldn't help but blush his cheeks, when he was sailing on the sea, the two of them were crazy for a few nights, although it had been a few years, and they suddenly remembered that they were already both shy and nervous.

Lin Yue didn't want to relive the old dream with her immediately, after all, he also knew that not only was a wave of people staring at him now, but he was not in the mood to do this in front of so many people.

In front of Long Aotian before, Lin Yue was inconvenient to ask, but now he wanted to know why Qi Diaoling and Long Aotian came together. Lacquer carving Ling makes things simple, but there is nothing complicated.

At that time, she took Kong Chen, who couldn't move his whole body, to the Qianshan family for medical treatment, and Kong Chen's paralysis was not due to simple trauma and illness, but because he used the forbidden move 'Sandu Huangquan', which was inherited from the white-clothed sword.

It can be said that saving his life is already a miracle, and it is probably even more difficult to get him to stand up again. It just so happened that a child of the Qianshan family mentioned Long Aotian, they had contact with each other, and knew that Long Aotian had many adventures, and there might be a way to treat Kong Chen.

Hearing this, Lin Yue suddenly asked, "I guess he won't be treated in vain." ”

Qi Diaoling nodded, Lin Yue knew that this was the case, and silently whispered that if he wanted to save Dugu Sisi, he had to use the jade knife to change it, and there was no one who plucked the feathers of this goose. But in the final analysis, this is also someone else's ability, and he can't say anything more, Lin Yue is more concerned about what Qi Diaoling has paid.

It is indeed difficult to heal Kong Chen, but Long Aotian really has the goods in his hands, and originally wanted the brother and sister to work for themselves in the future, but Kong Chen did not agree. Because the revenge is avenged, what happens to you is actually nothing, and it is certainly good to have hope of being cured, even if you are loyal and die-free. But Qi Diaoling and Lin Yue have feelings. Kong Chen couldn't make her loyal to others.

This involves another problem of lacquer carvers, there is a saying in lacquer carvers throughout the ages: you can't start with your own family, you don't deserve the surname lacquer carving.

Although the lacquer carving heavy smoke to the lacquer carving Ling branch is the nominal head of the family, but the actual lacquer carving family has long been divided into six or seven branches distributed in the territory of the Great Zhou, all the family people together, one will not be more than fifty people. Adhering to the truth that eggs cannot be put in the same basket, the lacquer carving family shared the fruits of research and development in the family, and then dispersed to live.

The so-called head of the family, in fact, has almost no constraints on other family members. And this kind of decentralization also makes each force rely on different forces, and each force is often hostile to each other.

For hundreds of years, the slogan of lacquer carvers has been to put the interests of the Lord first, and once they have decided to be allegiant, they must be loyal to the end, even if they are their closest relatives in front of them. This is how the lacquer carving family survives, and it has taken hundreds of years to build credibility. It is not only a family of hidden weapons, but also a family of organs, assassins, and scouts, and it is the kind of family that can put the interests of the monarch above its own family interests, which is rare in the world.

In fact, as far as Qi Diaoling is concerned, whether it is to be an assassin or to collect intelligence, there is not much value that can be reflected in the cultivation and power of Long Aotian. In contrast, Long Aotian is more interested in Kong Chen. Although his cultivation was completely lost and he became a waste, the knowledge in his head was still there, and he was still one of the best mechanism technicians in Da Zhou.

One of the important reasons is that the Qi Diao Family's Qi Diao Hong created an organ for the Da Yu Dynasty.

Long Aotian is also preparing to develop the mechanism technique, so he attaches more importance to Kong Chen. Kong Chen's revenge has no other pursuit, as long as Long Aotian is not embarrassed, he is willing to build an organ for Long Aotian. After learning about the relationship between Qi Diaoling and Lin Yue, Long Aotian agreed to bring Qi Diaoling over and hand it over to Lin Yue.

The elder brother worked under Long Aotian. The younger sister was handed over to Lin Yue, and together with what was discussed tonight, this also means that the two sides have a small political marriage.

Before leaving, Kong Chen specially told Qi Diaoling that he no longer had to bear the false name of the so-called head of the family, and he didn't even have to care about any family. If there is chaos today, many people from the lacquer carving family have taken refuge in different lords. Qi Diaoling doesn't have to live such a life anymore, she has recovered now, and she will manage her own happiness with Lin Yue.

In the end, Qi Diaoling couldn't help but blush again.
