14. Conflict
"Shiyin!" Long Xiaoyun's voice was full of disbelief, he had been looking for Lin Shiyin, and he had never given up for so many years, and at this moment, when Lin Shiyin was standing in front of him alive, he suddenly couldn't believe it again.
He really loves Lin Shiyin, he has only loved her in this life, Long Xiaoyun's feelings may be more profound and pure than Li Xunhuan, because although Li Xunhuan likes Lin Shiyin, she wants to die or live for her, and he has been decadent for ten years, but he also cares about other things, such as brotherly righteousness, such as freedom, such as the rivers and lakes where he lives.
But feelings are sometimes so strange, Lin Shiyin is grateful, respectful, and apologetic to Long Xiaoyun, but she will never like it, she likes Li Xunhuan, it was like this ten years ago, and it still hasn't changed ten years later.
It's not that I haven't thought about forgetting jì, but the cousin who accompanied her to play against Guanxue and told her to laugh and relieve her boredom when she was a teenager stubbornly stayed in her mind and couldn't forget it.
Since she can't forget it, then don't forget it, in ten years, the first thing she learned was not to embarrass herself, but she was not Lin Shiyin ten years ago, this time she would not be at the mercy of others, it was her who would be at the mercy of others, especially the person who would embarrass herself the most in the world.
Lin Shiyin looked at Long Xiaoyun with an excited face, bowed her head slightly, and said with emotion: "Brother Long, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Long Xiaoyun hurriedly took two steps, as if he wanted to hug the person tightly, but perhaps because of his timidity, he didn't dare to stretch out his hand in the end, "You're still alive, it's good to be alive!
"It's Shiyin's fault that Brother Long has worried over the years. Lin Shiyin sighed, the most sorry person in her life is probably this person.
Long Xiaoyun shook his head, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden cough.
Li Xunhuan covered his lips, coughing heartbreakingly, faintly, a dazzling blood flowing from his fingers.
This scene was clearly seen by Lin Shiyin, and her heart was filled with strange and familiar pain, what did she care about, she couldn't care about Long Xiaoyun for a while, walked quickly to Li Xunhuan's side, supported the body that was coughing and trembling, and then shouted eagerly: "Sugar candy!"
Ji Ji, who came with Lin Shiyin, walked into the house, squatted down beside Li Xunhuan, and reached out to touch Li Xunhuan's wrist.
The wrist pulse is a taboo for people in the rivers and lakes, and ordinary people can't buckle it, but Li Xunhuan didn't dodge it, but let the other party take his wrist, he trusted Lin Shiyin, and naturally believed in the strange boy brought by Lin Shiyin.
Ji Ji didn't take the pulse for a long time, but his brows gradually wrinkled.
Seeing this, Lin Shiyin's heart tightened, and she just wanted to ask what was going on, but was interrupted by a rough and impatient voice.
"We're here to arrest Li Xunhuan, but we're not here to see your old people reuniting, diagnosing the pulse and seeing a doctor, Master Xinmei, you don't care?
"Amitabha. Master Xinmei said a Buddha name.
Lin Shiyin sneered, and pushed Li Xunhuan to Ji Ji to take care of it temporarily, she stood up, looked around at the circle of martial arts people, and said with a firm expression: "Li Xunhuan is not a plum blossom thief!"
Her tone was so determined, without a little hesitation, showing her trust in Li Xunhuan.
Li Xunhuan's body stiffened, his eyes flickering slightly when he looked at her, and a soft and sour feeling churned in his chest.
"If you say no, it's not? This is not a woman's business. Zhao Zhengyi snorted disdainfully.
Master Xinmei clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice: "Whether Master Li deserves it, or is he innocent, he knows when he goes to Shaolin, and the Buddha is merciful, of course he will not wronged the innocent." β
Lin Shiyin took a step forward and blocked in front of Li Xunhuan, her thin body seemed to have infinite strength at this moment, protecting the other party behind her.
She said word by word, and said again: "I said, Li Xunhuan is not a plum blossom thief, no one wants to take him away with me!"
Lin Shiyin's words were tough, there was no room for turnaround, and instantly annoyed the group of Jianghu people, Long Xiaoyun could no longer restrain his jealousy, and said: "I know that Xunhuan is your only relative, you trust him, I also trust him, I believe that he is definitely not a notorious plum blossom thief, the Qing is self-purifying, what can we do if we go to Shaolin last time, just to prove Xunhuan's innocence." β
Long Xiaoyun's words were awe-inspiring, but Lin Shiyin just glanced at him lightly, that glance was clear and transparent, as if all his thoughts were revealed in her eyes, Long Xiaoyun was actually seen in a cold sweat by this fluttering glance.
"Why should Master Xinmei be polite to them, just take people away, women should stay in the backyard to embroider, come out to take care of this idle matter, I'm afraid of taking my life!"
"Presumptuous!"
This sentence was not said by Lin Shiyin, but Ji Ji, the young man's voice was still a little immature, but the cold and powerful in it was enough to make people's hearts tighten.
As soon as his words fell, the group of people brought by Lin Shiyin outside the house had already come in, faintly surrounding everyone in the hall.
It's not that they didn't notice the team of people outside the house, it's just that those people have no internal strength and their martial arts are not high, so they didn't pay attention to it, until this moment, when those people in black clothes and light armor put their hands on the hilt of their knives, and when the waist knife was half unsheathed, the cold murderous aura that suddenly erupted made everyone in the hall shocked.
Lin Shiyin only brought out twenty-five people, and these twenty-five people fought alone, and they were not the opponents of the people in the martial arts who were present, but if they really killed people, it was not necessarily who lost and who won.
There are a lot of people on the rivers and lakes who kill people, but no matter how many of them are, dozens or hundreds of people are already the limit, but the lives of these twenty-five people are countless times that of them.
These people crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they were not afraid of death.
"It's an army!" and it was a well-trained army that had experienced countless bloody killings, and Master Xinmei's expression began to become solemn, "Who is the donor?!"
Lin Shiyin. She replied: "A month and a half ago, the Chen family's caravan was robbed on the way, and the caravan, including the head of the Chen family, a total of thirty-four people, were all killed, and the murderer left five red blood marks like plum blossoms at the scene. β
"Plum Blossom Thief!" someone exclaimed.
"After the tragedy, my family was furious and ordered me to investigate the truth of this matter!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was extremely surprised, "Are you from the official mansion?"
"That's good!" Lin Shiyin did not report her official position, in fact, cough cough, she really has no official position, a woman who has no rank and no position, but leads two thousand elite divisions, she is probably the first in history.
Of course, she didn't report Yan Xiubai's official position, there was no way, the grade was too low, I was afraid that she couldn't suppress it, it was better to use the power of these twenty-five people to temporarily stabilize the situation, at least not to let Li Xunhuan be taken away in front of her.
It's a pity that her idea is good, but the reality is skinny, she underestimated the so-called lawless Cheng dΓΉ in the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes and the court have never interfered with each other, and even the people in the rivers and lakes faintly look down on the court.
Lin Shiyin wants to find out the truth, and they are willing to cooperate, but Li Xunhuan must be taken away, Xiao Li Feidao ranks third in the rivers and lakes, if he is allowed to leave today, most of the people present today are afraid that they will have to sleep and eat restlessly, they are afraid of Xiao Li Feidao, and they are even more afraid of retaliation from Xiao Li Feidao, after all, this time, they will offend people miserably.
If they don't agree with each other, they will make a move, the number of opponents is not as good as theirs, but they are all martial arts masters, and they still suffer a little when they start.
But who is Lin Shiyin, she is a person who has fought for ten years, and she has never flinched from thousands of enemies, not to mention more than a dozen martial arts people in this area.
She flicked her whip and commanded Ruo Ding, forming a small formation of twenty-five people, and she did not want to kill unless she had to.
Ji Ji was very alert, and when the fight first started, he protected Li Xunhuan to retreat, he didn't have a piano, and he didn't have a sword, because Yan Xiubai said that it wasn't time yet, Ji Ji only had one pair of hands, and it was these hands, and they were like swords, more powerful than any weapon.
Li Xunhuan's eyes showed appreciation, at such a young age, he has such a cultivation, which is really extraordinary, and he is worthy of being a disciple taught by Brother Yan.
When he was an official in Beijing, he had studied with Yan Xiubai many times, how could he not recognize who the young teacher in front of him was, naturally, he almost guessed the truth about Lin Shiyin's disappearance back then, it was nothing more than someone took him away.
Li Xunhuan smiled bitterly, his mood was complicated and indescribable for a while, and his low coughing sound was intermittent, and it was exceptionally clear in the sound of fighting.
The hand covering his chest didn't know when he put it down, and then the sleeve robe rolled up, and a little cold shot behind Ji Ji.
Ji Ji blinked, looked at the person who fell to the ground, and then looked at the person who was still panting as if he would die in the next moment, and still didn't understand why Sister Shiyin liked such a tuberculosis ghost, obviously Uncle Yan was much better and better looking than him.
"Stop it. The man who was about to die in Ji Ji's eyes said this, and then coughed a few more times.
"You don't have Chinese medicine?!" Long Xiaoyun exclaimed.
"No, I did. Li Xunhuan smiled, "I just want to thank this little brother." β
Ji Ji snorted coldly, he reluctantly made a move for the sake of Sister Shiyin's face, otherwise who would be nosy.
"No matter how I explain that I am not a plum blossom thief, I'm afraid you won't believe it, so give me half a month, and I will definitely find out the real plum blossom thief to prove my innocence." β
"This is a thief shouting to catch a thief, what to prove your innocence, I think you want to take the opportunity to escape!"
Li Xunhuan didn't speak, and even the faint smile on his face didn't change at all, but between the two index fingers of his right hand, I don't know when he caught a flying knife, a flying knife that was no different from an ordinary flying knife except that it was a little shorter and thinner.
And it was just this flying knife that made the person who spoke shut up.
"Since my medicine has been solved, then I want to leave, no one can stop me, let alone your impermanence knife. One sentence made the face of the person who had just spoken red, but Li Xunhuan didn't look at him again, but said to Master Xinmei: "Half a month later, whether I find out the real plum blossom thief or not, I will go to Shaolin Temple, what does the master think?"
======================================== dividing line ======================================================
Xiao Er put the dishes on the table the same and retreated, Yan Xiubai looked at the person sitting opposite him with a natural attitude, and suddenly lost any appetite.
Yan Changsheng has a good appetite, and the food that he doesn't have to pay for himself is delicious.
The more Yan Xiubai looked at it, the more he was congested, so he simply threw away his chopsticks and said, "We kill people one by one and save people, although the goal is the same, you don't need to follow me all the time." β
"It's so easy to follow you, I don't have to spend time looking for someone else. Yan Changsheng said lightly.
"If you say that, maybe I shouldn't be in a hurry. Yan Xiubai snorted coldly.
"Yes, that's right, the food here is good. β
ββ
When Yan Xiubai was helpless, the discussion from downstairs made the two people with good ears hear it clearly, it seemed to be the matter of the first beauty in martial arts and the plum blossom thief.
It is said that the first beauty named Lin Xian'er put down her words, if anyone can catch the plum blossom thief, whether he is old or young, beautiful or ugly, healthy or disabled, she will marry him.
The charm of beauty is huge, and I heard that many young talents have been dispatched, and this matter has caused a stir in the rivers and lakes.
Yan Xiubai's eyes lit up a little, he sat for a while before getting up, and when he was about to leave, there was a voice from behind, "Where are you going?"
"Didn't you say that you weren't in a hurry?!" Yan Xiubai turned around and smiled: "Just go and see this first beauty in martial arts, of course, if you want to continue to follow, please do it!"
