(164), Jiang Chao

Lin Shan's short sentence seemed to be asking the other party, but in fact, it also indirectly revealed his identity.

The young man in the power suit was able to come to his family's old mansion as soon as Lin Shan arrived in Kyoto, and he was naturally not an ordinary person, and he quickly understood another meaning in Lin Shan's words. After holding his breath for a moment, he landed on one knee, bowed deeply to Lin Shan, and said in a deep voice: "The humble position is Jiang Chao, a member of the Eagle Falcon Detachment of the Night Riding Column, to meet Lord Lin. ”

"Night Rider Column......" Lin Shan groaned, as if he wanted to search for the number of this unfamiliar team in his mind, and as if he was asking the young man named Jiang Chao.

Seeing this, Jiang Chao didn't get up, he took out a letter from his arms, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Lord Commander instructed the lowly to hand over this letter when he saw Lord Lin, and the Lord will understand it when he sees it." ”

Lin Shan took a step forward, took the letterhead and raised his palm to support Jiang Chao's hand, Jiang Chao couldn't help but hesitate after realizing it, and then stood up.

The letter handed by Jiang Chao was not sealed, but when Lin Shan opened the envelope and shook open the letterhead, only to see the first line of words written on the paper, a smile appeared between his eyebrows, obviously the identity of the person from whom the letter came was made.

"It's only been a few years, and the second brother is finally an official!" After quickly browsing the contents of the letter, Lin Shan sighed, then took out the fire fold from his sleeve and turned the letter into ashes.

Jiang Chao stood aside and silently listened to Lin Shan's exclamation after reading the letter, and he didn't understand in his heart, listening to the tone of this adult, it seemed inevitable that Lord Li, who he respected incomparably, could become an official, and Lord Li was now the commander of the night horse, and it seemed that he was still forced to choose?

However, Jiang Chao quickly thought that this Lord Lin and Master Li had a long-standing friendship. There were some past events between them that he could not know and speculate about as a later subordinate, so although he had doubts, he remained silent.

Lin Shan rubbed his fingers and flicked away some of the ashes left between his fingers due to burning the letter, and then he looked at Jiang Chao and asked in a calm tone, "You are waiting here, you won't just send me a letter for someone, right?" ”

If only for the purpose of sending letters. Jiang Chao could have left the letter to Qu Xia for forwarding. His superior, that Master Li, should know about this old housekeeper who has guarded Lin Shan's old mansion for ten years. But just as Lin Shan suspected, compared to Jiang Chao's main task waiting here today, sending the letter was just a by-the-way. As a result, Jiang Chao felt very confused, why didn't Master Li make this matter clear in the letter?

In fact, he didn't come back to his senses for a while. The letter has been turned to ashes, did Lord Li explain in the letter that it was also extinguished, the letter was burned by Lin Shan. Then the power of whether or not to truthfully relay is also between Lin Shan's belief transformation.

However, Jiang Chao did not speculate in this direction. In addition to the fact that he has never officially joined the company, and is actually only a reserve member of the Eagle Falcon detachment, so he lacks experience in pondering this kind of change in people's hearts, there is also the biggest reason for his absolute obedience and loyalty to the Commander, which is also the reason why the first position assigned to him by the Commander was to become Lin Shan's personal guard.

Therefore, Jiang Chao didn't think much about it after feeling a little doubt in his heart, and bowed to Lin Shan. Then he replied truthfully: "Lord Li sent a lowly post to serve as an attendant. to protect the safety of Lord Lin. ”

"That's right." Lin Shan said three words in a light tone, and then groaned.

After a long time, he slowly spoke: "Lord Li has sent you such a task, which shows that he trusts you very much, so you should know that there are still crimes in the next place, but I can still live so freely!" According to the law, the court has to arrest me, but Lord Li is now a court official, and he still makes such a move, so you should be able to understand that my danger does not come from one place. Are you ready to be around such a person? ”

From Lin Shan's words, it could be heard that he was making a final statement to accept himself, so Jiang Chao immediately spoke after hearing this: "My subordinates will swear to protect the safety of my lord!" His voice was a little deeper than before, and his tone was as firm as iron.

Lin Shan looked at Jiang Chao with a calm gaze, there seemed to be multiple meanings in his eyes, but when he spoke, he only said a very short sentence: "How many moves can you make under him?" ”

Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and after thinking for a while, he replied seriously: "The cultivation of the Lord Commander in the martial arts has convinced all the night riders. The subordinates were fortunate enough to have a bare-handed competition with adults, and only passed eleven moves. ”

"I've done nearly a hundred moves under him." After Lin Shan finished Jiang Chao's words, he also said lightly, and Jiang Chao's face gradually showed a look of horror, and when he was about to speak, he added: "But that time I was armed with a sword, and he was barehanded, and that competition was not fair." ”

After hearing Lin Shan's explanation, the horror on Jiang Chao's face quickly turned into doubt, but when he saw the smile in Lin Shan's eyes, he slowly reassured, it seemed that the fight between Lord Lin and Lord Li had nothing to do with grievances and hatred.

Lin Shan seemed to be in a much more cheerful mood because he recalled what had happened, and he didn't mind telling this past to his future entourage. He smiled and continued, "That time it was because I stole one of his kung fu manuals to give to someone he didn't want to take as an apprentice. After he found out, I had no choice but to escape; He caught up with him to take it, and I had no choice but to fight back; And I knew that I was no match for him, so I had to draw my sword in the end. ”

Listening to what Lin Shan said, Jiang Chao only felt a drop of sweat in his heart at this time.

That Lord Commander had a martial god-like existence in Jiang Chao's heart, and although this Lord Lin was very unfamiliar, before he met him, all the rumors that Jiang Chao could hear about this person were full of legend and mystery. Jiang Chao was in awe of these two characters in Beijing who had known each other all his life, but he didn't expect these two characters to have such a ridiculous thing that did not match his identity.

Now that incident was directly told by one of the Lin Lords, who had disappeared for a long time, to his subordinate, which suddenly made Jiang Chao's heart have a strange feeling for Lin Shan.

Lin Shan finished the last paragraph by himself: "Fortunately, when I barely managed to make more than ninety moves, the people who persuaded me arrived in time." If it weren't for that, even if I could hold on to a dozen more moves, the result would be the same, and I would have to be beaten by him and lay in bed for a few months. ”

Lin Shan's series of relaxed words gradually dissolved the atmosphere that seemed a little solemn between the two just now, Jiang Chao heard this in silence, and finally couldn't help asking, "Who will be the person who persuades the fight?" ”

Lin Shan smiled and said, "Of course, it was our sworn brother at that time. ”

When this ordinary sentence fell into Jiang Chao's ears, there was a hint of awe in his eyes, and he regained the almost nervous silence just now.

At the moment of the overthrow of the previous week, the three sworn brothers in Kyoto, the second of which is now the commander of the night riding in Kyoto, Li Gai, is also his top boss; The third is a trickster, and then committed a serious crime and escaped, it is the Shulang scribe who is now standing in front of him who is talking about the theft of books in the past, and the "eldest brother" is now sitting in Kyoto and looking down on the world.

Time passes, identities change, the second and third are still there, but the eldest can no longer be called "big brother", so Lin Shan used the word "then" as a prefix when he said this.

Thinking that this incident was that Lord Lin stole the book, led the pursuit, and the emperor came forward to persuade him, Jiang Chao couldn't be more relaxed.

Lin Shan noticed the change in Jiang Chao's expression, and he gradually put away the smile in his eyes, and said slowly: "I told you about these pasts, in addition to the fact that I don't think these things are a big deal, I also want to take this opportunity to remind you that if you are going to stay by my side, you need to learn to do two things. ”

Jiang Chao said respectfully: "Please make it clear." ”

"Although I don't know how long you will follow me, from this moment on, some of the titles you are used to such as 'lord' and 'lowly' will have to be abandoned." Lin Shan's tone paused slightly, and then he said solemnly: "You are you, I am me, we are all ordinary people, and we don't attract people because of our titles, so it can also help our own safety." ”

"Big ......" Jiang Chao hurriedly closed his mouth after habitually saying a word, and then hesitated: "But ......"

Lin Shan could probably guess what he was worried about, and after thinking about it, he asked, "How many people recognize you?" ”

Jiang Chao quickly replied: "The Eagle Falcon Detachment was originally a component of the secret behavior in the night ride, and I had not officially joined the company before this, and I had been staying in the reserve team for training, so no one in the court knew my true identity, and for ordinary people, the team had already arranged an ordinary identity for me. ”

"No wonder he sent you, it seems that everything has been thought of." Lin Shan sighed, looked at Jiang Chao and said with a smile: "If you haven't adapted to it for the time being, just call me 'Childe' first!" But I've always found this title very awkward, wait for you to get used to it a little more, if you don't dislike it, just call me 'Brother Lin' like my subordinates! ”

Jiang Chao's eyes moved, he was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, he called out according to Lin Shan's instructions: "Brother Lin." It's just that the tone is a little stiff.

Lin Shan was very satisfied with this initial change in Jiang Chao's title, he nodded, took a step closer to Jiang Chao, stood next to him, and then stretched out his hand to put his hand on his shoulder, as peaceful as inviting his own brother.

Looking up at the night sky, Lin Shan then said, "This second thing is that can you not be so obedient? In the future, in addition to sleeping and gambling to play with women, you have to learn the same bad habits of ordinary people. (To be continued.)
