Volume 1 The Little Boy Who Seeks Scholarship Chapter 13 Crisis
Stone Town is not big, and there is only one inn, but Wei Cheng led Ye Fan around for a long time, and the whole town was almost all over, and he didn't even see the shadow of the restaurant.
Ye Fan rubbed his swollen calves, looked at Wei Cheng, who was in high spirits in front of him and kept whistling at the woman passing by, and knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't say why the man in front of him did this.
Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask clearly, he really couldn't ask the direction of the passer-by inn by himself, it was not a matter to go around like this.
Just as Ye Fan was about to ask Wei Cheng out loud, a surprised voice sounded from behind him: "Brother Ye Fan, Brother Ye Fan! It's me! You haven't arrived so late I was still worried about you just now, I didn't expect to meet here." ”
Ye Fan turned around when he heard this, and Li Qingfeng, who was carrying a few big bags, was looking at him with a happy face, so he hurriedly ran over and said with a smile: "I didn't find the way to the inn just now, so I delayed for some time, which made Brother Qingfeng worried, it's my fault." ”
Li Qingfeng saw a smiling and somewhat obscene man standing behind Ye Fan, and was a little puzzled, "Brother Ye Fan, who is this?"
"Oh, Ye Fan, your friend is so handsome, I have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I have never seen a few who are so handsome, and I like the girl at first glance. It's just that if you want to capture the girl's heart, it's not enough to be handsome. Little brother, this is not my bragging, as long as you learn two tricks from me, up to eighty old women, down to eighteen girls, it will definitely be caught. Yes, yes, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Wei Cheng, I have no other skills, and I am just the best person in the world who uses a knife. Wei Cheng said to Li Qingfeng, hehe, straight.
Ye Fan stretched out his hand to support his forehead, he was really convinced, there was a Zhao Yongchang at home, and he met Wei Cheng outside, what did he do in his last life.
Li Qingfeng smiled heartily when he heard this: "Brother Wei doesn't look amazing, but I didn't expect to have such a ability, and I will ask Brother Wei for more advice in the future." ”
Ye Fan looked at Li Qingfeng in disbelief, revealing an expression of "I don't know if you are this kind of person?"
It's just that the question in Ye Fan's heart hasn't been said yet, Wei Chengcheng smiled and walked towards the inn with his arms around Li Qingfeng's shoulders, saying something as he walked, looking at the obscene expression It didn't look like a good thing, Ye Fan could only shake his head and follow behind the two, unhurried.

A hill more than 50 miles away from the county seat of Longquan County is the territory of Zilintang. The leading hall master was called Lin Hu, a monk of the Five Realms who was covered in injuries and had a fleshy face. In the entire Longquan County, it is considered a small snake, and the area within a radius of fifty miles is under his control. Because of the fact that he still had some relationship with the people in the county town, and because he had perennial money exchanges with the above, the government was not easy to deal with this batch of recklessness, so he let it go until Zilintang developed into a gang of nearly 500 people.
At this time, almost all the high-level officials of Zilin Hall were discussing in the lobby.
The plaque above the lobby is Lin Hu's heavy purchase of a calligraphy master's ink treasure, on which are written the four big characters of "loyalty to the liver and righteous gall". The lobby facilities under the plaque are quite luxuriously furnished, and there are agarwood lit on both sides of the pillars, which is in stark contrast to the vulgar men in the house, and some of them are not like the houses that the Jianghu people who fall into the grass should have. More than ten people sat on the left and right sides in the hall, with heavy expressions and tense atmosphere.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek said, "If you want me to say, you can't take this job." The above said that it was just an ordinary person, who knows if it was a noble boy who came here for a private visit to the mountains and rivers? If it is really a prince and prince, isn't this obviously a substitute for the dead ghost above? If something really happens at that time, who can afford it?"
"Heh, Liu Ying, I didn't say you, what kind of strategist are you like a bear? How do you think Zilintang can become what it is now? Isn't it the brothers who killed it one by one, and fought it step by step? If you don't even have the guts, what kind of work do you take on and be a bandit? Wouldn't it be better to go home and raise pigs?" said a black-faced man sarcastically.
When the man called Liu Ying heard this, he slapped the table heavily, got up with an angry face, and shouted: "Hao Wei, don't think that you can make a big deal out here if you have a few catties of strength, that kid is really so easy to kill, and the benefits can still be our turn? Let me tell you, we can't help but kill people on the front foot, and we don't know what's going on when the back foot is wiped out, and your donkey dung head still says I'm cowardly? Do you know how many twists and turns there are in this matter? If we step on the wrong step, we will all have to move our heads!"
"Liu Ying, are you looking for death!" The black-faced man looked angry, and pulled out the long knife at his waist and aimed it at Liu Ying, seeing that this posture might really make a move.
Originally, Lin Hu, who was just thinking silently in the first seat, frowned slightly after seeing this scene, was a little angry, and said: "Why, in front of me, because of this matter, you still have to divide life and death? ”
Liu Ying and Hao Wei saw that the hall master had spoken, so they could only sit down angrily, but they still looked tense, and the smell of gunpowder was still strong.
Lin Hu didn't care, but said slowly: "I checked this matter, that kid is indeed just a mortal with some strength, and his words and deeds don't look like some rich and noble children." Even if there are really some backgrounds, they can still be bigger than those few? The sky is falling, and there are tall people on top, don't panic one by one, and even forget the foundation of Zilin Hall. Let's do it, but we don't want to make too much trouble, don't think too much about it, like those little white faces who only know how to read. But for the sake of safety, Dong Bin, the two of you in the Zhang Mansion will take ten brothers on a trip. Don't be in a crowded place, go outside to do it, the action should be neat and clean, don't leave the handle, the brother in front also has news that there is an extra man with a knife next to him, and he looks like a layman in the second realm at most, so don't worry, if you get in the way, you can kill it directly. I don't have to worry about you two doing things, and when things are done, one person and one girl are waiting!. ”
From the seat below, two stout men wearing cardigans and sackcloth walked out, one wearing a long knife at his waist and the other holding a meteor hammer, and shouted in unison: "The two of us will live up to the trust of the hall master!"
Liu Ying looked worried, hesitated for a long time, but still got up and asked softly, "Hall Master, is there really no problem?"
Lin Hu drank all the wine on the table in one gulp, and said lightly: "Liu Junshi, look at these scars on my body, do you think if I am careful enough, will there be a few less?"
Liu Ying saw the hall master's expression and knew that he was a little displeased with his indecision, so he could only sigh and have no words.
Lin Hu poured the wine to the brim, got up and raised his glass and said loudly: "If this business is completed, I will be extremely moved by the benefits given above, and the brothers are indispensable." If you want silver, you want money, you want women, you want women, all of them cheer me up, do you have the confidence to do a good job?"
More than a dozen people at the bottom all got up and drank all the wine in their cups, and shouted, "Yes!"
"Okay, I'm just waiting for a big celebration feast for my brothers!"
"We will live up to the trust of the hall master!"
Lin Hu said to Dong Bin Zhangfu at the front: "Leave now, come back as soon as possible, the brothers are waiting to toast you both." ”
The two of them got up and clenched their fists and walked out of the hall.
Lin Hu drank another cup of wine, and there was some sadness in his eyes. These two people are the highest in the realm of Zilin Hall except for themselves, but Lin Hu still can't rest assured. This business is not something that you can do if you don't want to, any one of the masters who explained things to you can easily squeeze yourself to death, and there is not even scum left. Who knows if this time he is really cannon fodder? Doing such a desperate deed, life and death are sometimes not in one's hands at all, and I can only hope that that kid is really just an ordinary person with a lot of treasures as mentioned above.
Lin Hu's worries were well hidden, and the people at the bottom didn't notice it at all, and they were still drinking the wine one by one, which seemed very lively.

Ye Fan and Wei Cheng Li Qingfeng, who had been chatting hotly all the way, came to the inn, Li Qingfeng turned to Ye Fan and said, "Brother Ye Fan, we specially left a room for you when we came, but I didn't expect Brother Wei's arrival, there was some trouble." If it doesn't work, I'll squeeze with Brother Ye Fan, and Brother Wei lives in my house, which is the No. 2 room on the left corner upstairs.
Wei Cheng said boldly when he heard this: "Brother Qingfeng, you will see the outside world when you say this, what is polite to me, I will open another one." Old man, if you really don't have a house, you two can squeeze and sleep for a night, just to contact and contact feelings, I still have a lot of experience to pass on to Brother Qingfeng. ”
Looking at Wei Cheng, who was frowning at Li Qingfeng, Ye Fan said angrily: "You hurry up and open the room, don't talk about this serious thing to Brother Qingfeng." ”
Wei Cheng pursed his lips, obviously not caring, and turned around and walked towards the counter.
Ye Fan shook his head helplessly, and said to Li Qingfeng: "Brother Qingfeng is annoying, I apologize to you for Wei Cheng." ”
Li Qingfeng smiled lightly: "I have been in the rivers and lakes with my father for all these years, and I have seen a lot of people. Brother Wei is upright and informal, not too good compared to other people who are full of flowers, Brother Ye Fan doesn't need to worry, I really like Brother Wei's temperament, I can't fake it. ”
Ye Fan was a little hesitant, whether to clarify his relationship with Na Wei Cheng and the person in front of him. Li Qingfeng, who the boy knows, is gentle and elegant, friendly to others, and has a very good appetite for himself, but some things are still not good to say, so he can only let him experience it himself.
Ye Fan put aside his thoughts and didn't think about this.
Li Qingfeng was full of interest, pulled Ye Fan up, walked to the store, and said as he walked: "Brother Ye Fan, my sister was still talking about you just now, saying that it is ungrateful to leave without calling the eldest brother while I am asleep, and my father also taught me to remember my kindness, just such a memorization? I am ashamed of my father, if something happens to the eldest brother and I don't rush back, I will ignore my father for the rest of my life!"
Ye Fan almost laughed out loud when he saw Li Qingfeng's 'vivid' imitation.
Li Qingfeng said to Ye Fan with a smile: "Dad is hard-natured, he refuses to be soft to anyone, and he loves his little sister very much, seeing that his little sister is really angry, he has been patient for a long time. I've never seen my dad like this all these years, but fortunately you're back, otherwise my little sister will keep making trouble, and my dad can only go out to look for you, and if you really meet it, it's a little embarrassing. ”
Ye Fan just wanted to say something, but Wei Cheng pulled him with a sinister eyebrow, and whispered, "Ye Fan, I have something to tell you when I go out." ”
Ye Fan was a little strange, Li Qingfeng said empathetically when he saw this: "Brother Ye Fan, if you have something, go first, your room is in room No. 4, your father and little sister are in room No. 3, you can see it when you turn left upstairs." ”
Ye Fan saw Wei Cheng's anxious face, and looked as if there was something really important, so he nodded and walked out of the inn with Wei Cheng.
When he arrived at the door of the inn, Wei Cheng did not stop and walked directly out of the town. Seeing this, Ye Fan shouted at him, but Wei Cheng just made a gesture to let Ye Fan follow, and when the young man saw this, he could only follow quickly, but he was beating a drum in his heart.
When he arrived at a desert without people, and the town with lights in the distance was only a point of light, Wei Chengcai slowly stopped, did not turn around, and said to Ye Fan, who was showing a different color behind him: "Young man, do you believe in fate?"
Ye Fan didn't hear clearly, and asked suspiciously, "What did you say?"
The man turned around, smiled, and repeated softly: "I said, do you believe in fate?"
As soon as the words fell, a thunderbolt flashed out of thin air in the night without a trace of clouds. At this moment, the extremely ordinary middle-aged man in front of him, his breath changed, the long knife on his waist seemed to have not come out, and the sky-high sword intent actually cut out the slightest crack in the space in front of him. Ye Fan suddenly stiffened, motionless as if he had been immobilized, as if even time did not dare to pass under the shock of this sword aura.
In fact, it's not that time has really stopped, but that Ye Fan's whole body is less than half a centimeter long, and there is a dense knife qi hanging from it, as if there are hundreds of thousands of invisible silks wrapping the young man in front of him.
If you move, you will die.
