Lin Zhiwu, who was full of wine and food, was separated from Suzaku at Yuelai Restaurant at a moment. After returning to the inn, the first thing Lin Zhiwu did was to go to Lin Xiaoyang's guest room to check.

Pushing open the door, I saw the dark and empty guest room, Lin Xiaoyang had not come back yet, Lin Zhiwu naturally thought that it was Lin Xiaoyang's first time visiting the Lantern Festival, he was curious, greedy for fun and forgot the time, so he didn't care much.

In fact, at that time, Lin Xiaoyang was still chasing Mu Ziru north!

Leaving Lin Xiaoyang's guest room and returning to his guest room, because he did drink a lot of wine when chatting with Suzaku, at this moment, Lin Zhiwu lay on the bed with his clothes to rest, thinking that when Lin Xiaoyang came back later, he would ask Lin Xiaoyang if he was having fun tonight, what he played, and whether those lanterns looked good......

Thinking about it, Lin Zhiwu gradually fell asleep, and by the time Lin Zhiwu woke up from his sleep, it was already more than half of his time.

After waking up, Lin Zhiwu went to Lin Xiaoyang's guest room to take a look, I don't know if I don't see it, this look really shocked Lin Zhiwu!

Looking at the still dark and empty guest room, Lin Zhiwu was very worried: It stands to reason that it is more than half of the hour, and the lantern will have long been dispersed, but Lin Xiaoyang still hasn't come back, isn't something wrong?

Thinking of Zhu Zimo's thousands of instructions before leaving, Lin Zhiwu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and even the last bit of wine was dissipated. Lin Zhiwu didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly ran towards the stairs without even closing the door of the wing room.

Walking through the hall on the first floor, which was silent and no one even had a candle flame, Lin Zhiwu opened the door of the inn and took advantage of the night to find someone.

Not to mention that Zhu Zimo handed over his favorite junior brother Lin Xiaoyang to Lin Zhiwu is a great trust in him, he can't live up to Zhu Zimo's trust, Lin Zhiwu's own love for Lin Xiaoyang alone makes Lin Zhiwu unable to allow anything to happen to Lin Xiaoyang!

Because of the need to cooperate with Mu Ziru's speed, which was getting slower and slower due to excessive consumption of internal force, when Lin Xiaoyang and Mu Ziru returned to the Yueyang Inn in Pingyang City, it was already the beginning of the year, and it should be dawn in two or three hours.

At this time, according to Lin Zhiwu, it had been nearly an hour and a half since Lin Zhiwu left Yueyang Inn to find Lin Xiaoyang.

When Lin Xiaoyang received the phantom trail and landed in front of the gate of the Yueyang Inn from mid-air, he was surprised to find that the door of the Yueyang Inn was wide open, and when Mu Ziru also arrived out of breath, it saved Lin Xiaoyang's strength to knock on the door, and Lin Xiaoyang took Mu Ziru and entered the Yueyang Inn directly.

Leading Mu Ziru through the hall on the first floor, which was silent and uninhabited and dark because there was no candlelight, went up to the second floor, and walked to the two opposing wings in the innermost, Lin Xiaoyang raised his hand and pointed to the unclosed wing room on the right and said, "I live in this wing." Then he pointed to the wing room on the left, which was also not closed, and said, "This wing room is Deputy Lin ......."

"Lin Gongzi!!" Before Lin Xiaoyang's words could be finished, he was interrupted by an eager voice from the top of the stairs.

Turning to look at Lin Zhiwu, who was panting at the top of the stairs, Lin Xiaoyang asked a little strangely: "Deputy Steward Lin???Why did you run out when you didn't sleep in the room at night??Why didn't the door close?"

Listening to Lin Xiaoyang's question, Lin Zhiwu was almost angry-

This living ancestor was embarrassed to ask him why he ran out at night? If it wasn't for looking for him, how could he, Lin Zhiwu, run outside in the middle of the night without sleeping to blow the cold wind? Why didn't the door close? If it weren't for the fear that something had happened to him if something had happened to him if he hadn't returned for a long time, would he be so anxious that he forgot to close the door and ran out to look for someone?

If it weren't for the fact that he happened to see two figures near the city gate running towards the direction of the Yueyang Inn at a very fast speed, Lin Zhiwu guessed that one of the two figures might be Lin Xiaoyang, even if he followed those two figures, otherwise it is estimated that Lin Zhiwu would still be in Pingyang City at this time like a headless fly looking for Lin Xiaoyang!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Lin Zhiwu didn't answer Lin Xiaoyang, "Wow" a few steps quickly ran to Lin Xiaoyang, suddenly raised his right hand, put his five fingers together, palms facing down, and fell fiercely towards the top of Lin Xiaoyang's head with lightning speed-

With a wail, a long sword fell on the ground at Lin Xiaoyang's feet, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Xiaoyang half-bowing his upper body, holding his hands on the top of his head, looking very painful.

Looking at the sudden situation in front of him, Mu Ziru on the side was a little confused, and he didn't make a move, just stood quietly in place and watched.

After wailing, he bent down to pick up the long sword that he threw at his feet, Lin Xiaoyang stood up straight, rubbed the top of his head with one hand, looked at Lin Zhiwu with a sad face, and asked angrily: "Steward Lin Fu! What are you doing beating me?!

Staring at Lin Xiaoyang, who looked dazed and complained, Lin Zhiwu was so angry that he rolled his eyes.

I only heard Lin Zhiwu say angrily: "Why do you say I beat you! How did I explain to you when I went out at night? I asked you to come back when the lantern was gone." How did you promise me? It's the beginning of the day, it's almost dawn! Why do you say you're only coming back now? Ah?!!"

Flattening his mouth aggrievedly, Lin Xiaoyang explained the matter to Lin Zhiwu one by one, and finally looked at Mu Ziru, who had been silent on the side, and complained: "It's him, not only ruined the Lantern Festival, but also caused me to chase me out so far, otherwise I would have come back a long time ago." ”

Following Lin Xiaoyang's line of sight to look at Mu Ziru who had been standing quietly on the side, through the dim candlelight in the corridor, Lin Zhiwu saw a face that could be called a demon: a high ponytail tied behind his head, abnormally fair skin, slender eyebrows, narrow Danfeng eyes, a straight and fine nose, slightly thin lips hooked to the side, and a slightly slender chin.

However, Lin Zhiwu was sharp-eyed and found that Mu Ziru's hair color was a little abnormal, not the general ink color, nor the young man's white head, the color of Mu Ziru's hair became lighter one by one, starting from the root of the hair, gradually turning from brown to gray, until the end of the hair all turned white...... Such a strange hair color, as far as Lin Zhiwu knows, only one person in the Nine Kingdoms has it!

Regarding Lin Xiaoyang's accusations, Mu Ziru pursed his lips indifferently, anyway, this is indeed the case, and Mu Ziru felt that he had nothing to refute. As for Lin Zhiwu's scrutiny, Mu Ziru accepted it generously and let Lin Zhiwu take a look.

Of course, Mu Ziru would not let Lin Zhiwu look at it in vain, so he naturally wanted to look back-

He wears black mille-feuille boots, a dark blue narrow-sleeved tight-fitting long coat, a ponytail tied at the back of his head, a dark complexion, thick eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose and thick lips, and a loyal and generous person.

Just when Lin Zhiwu and Mu Ziru looked at each other, Lin Xiaoyang reached out and pulled Lin Zhiwu's sleeve and said to Lin Zhiwu: "Deputy Steward Lin, let me tell you, I and him are not friends or acquaintances, although the master did not personally teach him kung fu, but the secret book of the light body exercises he practiced was given to him by the master, and it was a unique light gong phantom trace created by the master himself, so he is also my master's apprentice! ”

Hearing Lin Xiaoyang's last words, Lin Zhiwu's body shook slightly, but the careless Lin Xiaoyang did not notice this small change, but said to Mu Ziru again: "Mu Ziru, he is the deputy steward of Lin Zhiwu who was assigned by my second senior brother to go to Nanling County, Jiangnan with me to participate in this year's Nine Kingdoms Martial Arts Conference. ”

Lin ...... Zhiwu ......" Mu Ziru read softly, then stared at Lin Zhiwu's face without blinking, and asked tentatively: "Are you a person from the Zhu Mansion in the West City of Daliang Kyoto?"

Nodding, Lin Zhiwu replied with a smile: "Exactly." After a pause, Lin Zhiwu continued to smile and said: "Ziru, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown up and changed, I didn't recognize you standing face to face!"

After listening to Lin Zhiwu's words, Mu Ziru also pulled a wicked smile and teased: "Brother Zhiwu is the same, I haven't seen you for a few years and turned black again, I don't know you anymore." ”

After listening to the conversation between Lin Zhiwu and Mu Ziru, Lin Xiaoyang on the side looked at the two of them back and forth with wide eyes, and only after a long time did he say in surprise: "You guys...... You know??"

Nodding, Lin Zhiwu was still smiling: "Yes, Ziru and I can be regarded as knowing each other since childhood! However, we haven't seen each other since Ziru left home a few years ago, but I never thought that we would meet here today! ”

"Indeed, I was surprised to meet in such a situation. Mu Ziru answered.

Lin Zhiwu chuckled: "This is the so-called fate as the saying goes!" With that, Lin Zhiwu walked to the door of his own wing, pushed the door that was originally half open completely, and then turned his head to Mu Ziru and smiled: "Ziru, come in and sit and talk with Lin Gongzi!"

Mu Ziru didn't shirk either, and as Lin Zhiwu entered the room, Lin Xiaoyang went in last.

When Lin Xiaoyang closed the door and turned around, Lin Zhiwu had already lit the candle on the tea table and sat face to face with Mu Ziru at the tea table. Lin Xiaoyang walked over and sat in the middle of Lin Zhiwu and Mu Ziru, and casually leaned the long sword in his hand on the table.

I saw that Lin Zhiwu waited for Lin Xiaoyang to sit down, then reached out and picked up the teapot and teacup on the table, poured a cup of herbal tea for himself, Mu Ziru, and Lin Xiaoyang, and then held the teacup with one hand, and said with infinite emotion: "Time flies so fast! In a blink of an eye, it's been seven years......

Mu Ziru also held the teacup with one hand, but he was laughing, and the meaning of the smile was unclear: "Yes, time flies so fast, and in an instant, things are right and wrong!"

Looking at Mu Ziru sitting opposite, Lin Zhiwu seemed to be speechless and stopped.

Mu Ziru saw Lin Zhiwu's hesitation, but Mu Ziru pretended not to see it, and still drank the herbal tea in the cup one after another.
