Chapter 36 Membership
The next morning, everyone got up early.
After cleaning up, Guan Anji pushed out a wooden cart from the yard, with two large barrels on the car, and packed Wei Xiaobao's body and Aobai's body into the buckets separately, and filled each bucket with jujubes, and several people set off immediately and came out of the city.
On the way, Lin Nan first went to the inn and told Shuang'er that she didn't have to worry about herself, and then followed the people of the Heaven and Earth Society out of the city.
After walking all the way around for more than ten hours, a huge courtyard appeared in front of me.
When I walked into the courtyard, I saw that there were two or three hundred people squeezed into the courtyard at this time, all of whom were dressed in green clothes, with white cloth wrapped around their heads and white belts around their waists, with a look of grief and pain.
Lin Nan knew that this group of people had come to pay tribute to the previous Lord Yin Xiang, but on top of this sacrifice hall, it wouldn't be long before they quarreled over the position of the Lord of Incense.
After settling Lin Nan, Guan Anji and a few others took Aobai's body to the back hall, while Wei Xiaobao was left in place by everyone and handed over to Lin Nan to take care of.
Anyway, he had nothing to do, thinking that Wei Xiaobao had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets on his body, Lin Nan suddenly became thoughtful, and sneered at him: "Gonggong Gui, you are the eagle dog of the imperial court, the red man of the Tartars, this room is full of people who oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will have to take you away, scrape your heart, and pay tribute to them." ”
As soon as he heard this, Wei Xiaobao was suddenly frightened, his eyes were full of fear, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I...... I'm ...... with you You have no grievances, you ...... Why did you hurt me? ”
"I didn't hurt you. Lin Nan laughed for a while, and then said in a low voice: "But if you want to live, I can help you, but only if you have to give me something." ”
"What...... Things?" Wei Xiaobao's neck shrank, for fear that what he wanted was his own eyeballs, hands and feet, but he didn't expect Lin Nan to whisper at this time: "Silver, 300,000 taels of silver to buy your life, what do you think of this deal?"
"You...... Are you really?" Wei Xiaobao's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true. Lin Nan affirmed.
"Good. Wei Xiaobao gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "I can give you 300,000 taels of silver, but I have to wait until I get to a safe place." ”
"You're going to bargain. Lin Nan smiled and agreed: "Okay, anyway, you don't have this silver on you now, so let's wait for me to send you to a safe place." ”
"Good. Wei Xiaobao nodded and said, "Big husband, yes...... That horse is hard to chase. ”
"Chase your uncle......" Lin Nan scolded in his heart and ignored him anymore.
At this time, the mourning hall was already arguing because of the competition for the position of the incense master, and everyone said a word, and it seemed that there was a posture of wanting to do it at any time.
Suddenly, a man in green clothes rushed into the hall and said loudly: "The chief helmsman has arrived!" Several people who were arguing were stunned for a moment, and looked at the man at the same time, "What did you say?" The man suddenly said: "The chief helmsman led the five hall masters, and rode horses and was rushing towards this side. Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and Guan Anji hurriedly greeted: "Quick, the chief helmsman is coming, everyone follow me to meet him." ”
Under the leadership of Guan Anji, Li Lishi and a few others, two or three hundred people suddenly all came out of the courtyard, and everyone lined up, all of them were excited, this posture was no different from that group of star-chasing fans, and Lin Nan was speechless for a while.
It didn't take long for the ears to hear the sound of horses' hooves approaching, and the three knights galloped on, and before they could come to everyone, the three of them had turned over and dismounted, Guan Anji and several other high-ranking figures immediately hurried up to meet them, at this time, only one of the knights could be heard to say: "The chief helmsman is waiting in front, please Master Guan, Brother Li...... A few in the past. He said a total of six names, and the six who called the names hurriedly followed the people on their horses and galloped away.
As soon as everyone heard that Chen Jinnan was not coming, everyone suddenly showed a look of disappointment on their faces, just like the brainless fans who were released by the stars.
Just like that, it didn't take long for another horse to gallop over, and as soon as the person came closer, he immediately turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said: "The chief helmsman invited Lin Nanlin Gongzi to go and meet him."
Hearing him call his name, Lin Nan stepped forward and got on the horse with him, all the way to a village, a man in green clothes guarding the door shouted: "The guest has arrived!" Following the door opened, Guan Anji hurriedly greeted him, hugged his fists and said: "Lin Gongzi, you are here, the chief helmsman of our association is invited." ”
led Lin Nan all the way to a side room in the courtyard, an old man at the door stretched out his hand to lift the door curtain, and said, "Lin Nan Lin Gongzi has arrived!" A middle-aged scholar dressed as a scribe in the room suddenly put down the scroll in his hand, stood up, and said with a smile: "Please come in." ”
When Lin Nan heard this, he stepped into the house, Guan Anji followed behind him, and introduced to Lin Nan: "This is the helmsman of our association Chen. ”
"In Xia Linnan, I have seen the helmsman of Mr. Chen. Lin Nan respectfully hugged his fist to Chen Jinnan, this Chen Jinnan looked amiable, but a pair of eyes were like electricity, and he had the aura of a superior.
"No need to be polite, please be seated. Chen Jinnan said, pointing to a chair next to him, and then sat back first. Lin Nan sat down on the chair he pointed to, while Guan Anji stood aside with his hands down.
"I heard Master Guan say that Lin Gongzi's Ling Zun was also under the command of the national surname, but he doesn't know why, can you tell me?"
Hearing him ask about this, Lin Nan immediately made up a name for him casually, without the slightest hesitation, anyway, he didn't believe that Chen Jinnan would really remember all the names of Zheng Chenggong's subordinates.
Sure enough, after listening to Lin Nan's name, Chen Jinnan just nodded slightly and said: "Although Chen has not heard of Ling Zun's name, Chen Mou admires his feat of sacrificing his life for the country. Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and looked at Guan Anji, and with a slight wave of his left hand, Guan Anji immediately understood, bowed out, and closed the door with his backhand.
Chen Jinnan asked again: "I heard Master Guan say that although Lin Gongzi is young, he is good at kung fu, but he doesn't know where he is taught?"
Lin Nan hurriedly said: "The martial arts are all family heirlooms, and there is no teacher." ”
"Oh?" Chen Jinnan raised his eyes to look at him, then paused thoughtfully, and said: "Lin Gongzi Lingzun is a subordinate of the country's surname, so I don't know if Lin Gongzi knows anything about my heaven and earth?"
"Naturally understood. Lin Nan nodded and said categorically: "Heavenly Father and Earth Mother, anti-Qing and Ming." ”
"Not bad. Chen Jinnan nodded and said, "Then I don't know if Gongzi Lin is willing to enter my world and be a brother?"
"Is that true?" said Lin Nan pretending to be happy.
"Every word is true. Chen Jinnan Zhengse said.
Lin Nan immediately hugged his fists and said, "That's what you can't ask for!"
"Okay!" Chen Jinnan nodded with satisfaction, stood up from the chair, and said, "But if Shaoxia wants to enter my Heaven and Earth Society, I need to explain many things clearly." What our heaven and earth will do is to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, focusing on the country of our Han people, and taking their own net worth and life as light, and the rules in the club are very strict, if you make a mistake, the punishment is very heavy, you have to think carefully. ”
"You don't have to think about it, I just obey it. Lin Nan affirmed.
"Well, you come with me. Chen Jinnan said, got up and pushed open the door.
