- Mo Ye laughed dryly, rubbed his hands and didn't dare to answer Master's words, and as soon as his thoughts turned, he hurriedly apologized to Jiang Chao with a hippie smile.

Jiang Chao didn't mean to worry about Mo Ye, but when he saw Lin Shan coming to the vestibule, he comforted Mo Ye a few words, and hurriedly greeted him. Mo Ye lowered his head slightly and followed behind.

The broken eaves fell for a short while, and finally survived. Lin Shan was about to come out of the cloister, and the wooden sword embedded in the eaves suddenly broke in two, the sword body was still stuck on it, but the hilt fell off. Lin Shan's eyes flickered, and his shot was extremely accurate, and when he grabbed the broken sword, he saw that the broken part of the wooden sword was like a broken flotsy.

In the discussion in the vestibule, Lin Shan only saw the last scene, Jiang Chao abandoned the sword, and Mo Ye almost didn't stop. This broken sword was abandoned by Jiang Chao, and this broken gap must have been caused by Mo Ye's sword.

Thinking of all this, Lin Shan was secretly a little surprised, he didn't expect that Mo Ye had only been practicing the Qianzhao Sutra for three years, and he already had such majestic potential. But then he thought of Mo Ye's uncontrollable sword just now, but he couldn't be happy when he saw her progress.

"Ye'er."

Mo Ye heard the master call her, and as soon as she looked up, she saw the remnant sword flying over, and she copied it in her hand. Looking at this scene, she was also a little surprised, this sword was fine just now, but she didn't expect that since I don't know when, the inside has been damaged to this extent.

Could it be a moth?

Mo Ye suddenly had this thought, so he stretched out his finger and picked at the severance. It's even worse for her. The half-cut sword suddenly lost its stickiness like glued wood and shattered to the ground.

Immediately after that, she heard Lin Shan's reprimand: "You are too much, is this called fighting?" ”

Seeing that the wooden sword that was used just now shattered like this in an instant, Mo Ye was also surprised in her heart, and when she heard Lin Shan's question, she was suddenly full of panic, and she was also very confused by the scene in front of her, so she could only lower her head and said cowardly: "Master, I really don't know how the sword became like this." ”

"Can you still see going all out as a competition?" Lin Shan stared at her. "Hit hard. Won't you be in control? With the power you used to shatter this wooden sword, if a sword fell on Jiang Chao's body, it would be a broken bone injury, and you didn't think about the consequences before you did it? ”

Mo Ye only knew at this time that he was afraid. But she still couldn't understand how to control the power. But she also realized. Now if she tells the truth about these confusions. It only made the master who was annoying her even more angry, so she had to keep her mouth shut and hang her head lower.

looked at Mo Ye tightly grasping the half-cut wooden handle. With his head hanging down, Lin Shan didn't speak again, just sighed.

Maybe it was because he was not in good spirits during his illness and didn't have the patience he usually had, and inadvertently, he said these words a little heavily.

Jiang Chao on the side was also aware of this problem, and hurriedly helped to play a round, but he was helping Mo Ye to exonerate: "Sir, she can't be blamed for this matter." Her martial arts are passed down from the Grand Commander, and the Great Commander's martial arts, you know, when fully unfolded, a layer of turf can be scraped off all over the body, and breaking a few pieces of wood is even more like playing. ”

Lin Shan didn't plan to continue to scold Mo Ye, Jiang Chao helped at this time, and he happened to borrow the ladder to go downstairs.

However, this does not mean that he can immediately give Mo Ye a good face, not cold her for a while, if she was trained just now, she can be thrown behind in the blink of an eye.

"That's it." Lin Shan took a deep breath and softened his tone, "What you said reminded me, when Commander Li is free, I will invite him to come over and talk about it, and by the way, I will ask him to accompany Ye'er to practice his hands." ”

He said it lightly, but Jiang Chao was terrified when he heard this, and couldn't help but say: "Practice with the commander...... Isn't that right? Xiao Ye's martial arts are only the beginning of success, and there are still many places where he is not proficient, if the Great Commander misses, how can Xiao Ye afford it. ”

"How could Commander Li be so ignorant of the importance as her." Lin Shan threw down a sentence, brushed his sleeves and left, and when he was far away, he heard him call again: "Jiang Chao." ”

Jiang Chao followed, and then turned to Mo Ye and said, "Xiao Ye, Mr. is about to hand over some things to me in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, he hasn't had lunch yet, you go to the kitchen first." ”

"Okay." After Jiang Chao's reminder, Mo Ye also remembered that he had almost forgotten about this stubble, and hurriedly went to the big kitchen.

As soon as Jiang Chao walked to the door of Lin Shan's bedroom, he heard a coughing sound coming from inside.

The door was open, he hurriedly quickened his pace and walked in, and saw Lin Shan sitting at the table, his cough had stopped, but he was still bowing his back, and his breath was obviously short.

"As soon as the fever subsided, I ran outside, and if the illness recurred, the injury would be even worse. I will memorize the words of the old pharmacist, I don't believe you will forget it. Although he saw that he was draped with a thick and warm velvet coat on his shoulders, Jiang Chao, who was approaching, was still a little uneasy, held his wrist, felt that his pulse was normal, and his hand was also a little warm, so he let go.

Lin Shan tightened his sleeves a little tighter, finally straightened his back, looked at Jiang Chao and smiled: "I'm indeed much better, as for this cough, I can't stop it, but it's okay." ”

Without waiting for Jiang Chao to speak, Lin Shan asked again, "Did Xu Butang ask you to bring me anything?" ”

Jiang Chao shook his head, "He only said that you should recuperate with peace of mind, and it would be better to go back early, and he will only discuss with you in person if there is something." ”

"Is that batch of wood in Chuzhou on the road?"

"The post newspaper happened to arrive this morning, and it was loaded three days ago, and it is estimated that it has left Chuzhou today."

"Who is on duty in the end for this transportation mission?"

"Shi Mao, Shi Jian Division."

"Xu Butang's vision for choosing people is still so old and spicy." After the official business was over, Lin Shan's face was a lot more relaxed. After a pause, the matter of the next conversation turned to the other side, "How did you find out about the masked people you caught the day before yesterday?" ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Chao's face suddenly became a little unnatural, because he felt that Lin Shan handed over this matter to him, but he couldn't handle it.

Seeing that Jiang Chao was silent, Lin Shan didn't ask, just waited quietly.

Jiang Chao hesitated for a moment, and Lin Shan's unhurriedness. He felt more and more pressure, and in the end he could only reply truthfully: "If the clues are found in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is no way to continue." ”

Getting this half-cut reply is like watching a plate of food come to the table, but people can only smell it, and they can't open the lid of the bowl to see what is going on.

This kind of bad thing of being forced to stop halfway through the investigation has not been encountered by Lin Shan since he returned to Beijing three years ago. Jiang Chao had been by Lin Shan's side for nearly three years, and even he was already tired of this kind of thing, which was why he hesitated and didn't want to speak. He really wanted to ask Lin Shan to give him a few more days. Just let him go straight in and visit the Prime Minister's Mansion at night.

However, from the time Lin Shan opened his mouth to mention this. Jiang Chao also knew that this matter would end here again.

There was no anger on Lin Shan's face, but his relaxed state was close to solidifying.

In the past, all kinds of spearheads hidden in Kyoto were aimed at Mo Ye, and as Mo Ye gradually mastered the ability to protect himself. He can also deal with it at a leisurely pace. But this time. The front of the conflict seems to have changed direction. Aimed at his weak wife and young son, if he can't cut off these evil obstacles, there will be more trouble. Can he still retreat with three people and live in seclusion?

From the day he accepted her, married her, and was determined to be responsible for her, he had a premonition that the sinister turmoil that had never really let him go was likely to involve the innocent her. Although she said that she didn't care and was willing to share the ups and downs with him, when disaster came, he would still feel extreme self-blame and uneasiness.

Is it retreat or advance? Do you want to continue to find out?

If you retreat, will the emperor nod? No...... Even if you want to retreat, you have to wait for your wife and children's bodies to be stronger, and you have to wait for the batch of wood in Chuzhou to replace the pile of rotten wood in the wolf canal to get rid of the flood.

If you don't retreat, you have to fight hard, and as long as he is in Kyoto, it is impossible to be alone. But going to pry the old bottom of the Prime Minister's Mansion is tantamount to trying to break the front teeth of the officials, even if the emperor can nod and acquiesce to him now, he must be cautious when he starts this matter.

When the forest cedar in the house fell into deep thought, Mo Ye, who was standing at the door with a tray outside the house, began to wander.

Can't get in? It was a problem, she would go in right now, and it would probably be pushed out immediately, but she really wanted to hear what was going on in the room.

bluntly said that she wanted to sit in on the hearing, and she did not have the confidence to get Master's permission. For years, she had been protected in a passive position, and was about to develop a habit of thinking that she hated herself, but did not dare to earn hard. Breaking free meant disobeying him, and she couldn't make that determination right now.

But she herself overlooked an important detail, she was now standing in the front of the door and eavesdropping, which was already retrograde.

Something like this, she is already familiar with it, how can this be hidden from Lin Shan. It's just that at the same time, Lin Shan is gradually loosening her control, which makes her think that she is still obedient to her master's orders as before.

When Mo Ye walked to the door, his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and Lin Shan in the house had already noticed it, but he deliberately gave her time to choose to advance and retreat by herself, but Lin Shan was a little disappointed.

"Ye'er." Lin Shan finally called her.

Mo Ye was stunned, then took a deep breath, and pushed the door in with a look of Tantai, as if she had just walked to the door and had never stopped.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shan's next opening directly shattered her mask.

"Why did you stand at the door just now and be slow to enter? Did you learn this habit from those people in the cottage? ”

Lin Shan's gaze was still very calm, but perhaps because of the weakness of the thief's heart, Mo Ye was stared at by this gaze, and only felt that there was no usual sense of warmth in it, but it became an invisible pressure.

……

……

The cat's waist was in the canopy made of straw mats, and the four men in Tsing Yi were only wet with one layer of rain on their surfaces. As soon as they were seated, the bow of the boat covered his face with a hat, and the boatman, who seemed to be daydreaming in the rain, stood up at once.

The boatman shook off the coat he was draping over his shoulders and shook off a splash, but in the "snapping" sound of the splash on the board, there was a faint "crackling" sound when his shoulder and elbow bones moved.

Then he lifted the wide-brimmed hat above his head, and with a bow, he held the bamboo pole leaning against the side of the ship, and when he lifted it all, the bamboo pole was almost two feet long, and he poked it under the sea, and the hull of the ship began to move slowly.

It is actually very dangerous for a small boat like this to sail in a sea climate where strong winds and heavy rains are very prone to waves. Even if you don't explore the underwater environment in the depths of the ocean, even if you spread out such a long coastline, no one can necessarily understand the underwater situation in every part of it.

But when the four killers got into the boat, they all had a calm look on their faces, and they didn't worry about this problem in the slightest. That's how they came, and they believe that the boatman at the bow of the boat, who made a bamboo pole two feet long, will take them back to the sect as smoothly as he came.

It was only because of the stability of the boatman's lower plate and the heavy strength of his arms that he could make the two-zhang bamboo pole as flexible as the two-foot short sword--he was the sword-folding uncle of the three young men.

However, although he has the honorific title of uncle, he is not as prestigious as Uncle Fu Jian, just because of his name of "folding sword".

In their sect, if anyone is tired of killing people after becoming an artist, he can pass the rigorous assessment and obtain the name of "Folding Sword". The person who "breaks the sword" is killed by himself, such a person is worthless to the sect, and the final result is abandoned by the sect.

Lacking the protection of the sect, the killers who are involved in the murder will encounter murderous opportunities everywhere in the rivers and lakes who want to squeeze them out.

However, this "Uncle Folding Sword" happens to be an exception allowed in the sect, and only this one place indirectly makes his martial arts, to a certain extent, higher than that of the "Uncle Fu Sword" who has no small authority.

It's just that the sword in the hand of Uncle Sword-Folding has been replaced with a bamboo pole, or when he carries out auxiliary tasks in the future, he will still hold sticks, stones and other things in his hands, but according to the rules of the sect, since he has taken the name of "Folding Sword", he can no longer touch any iron tools in his hands.

Therefore, he gradually became the most dishonorable person in the sect, but he was more popular with the younger undebuted disciples. Except for the murder of people, Uncle Sword's martial arts are no worse than those of Uncle Sword, who is responsible for teaching and learning in the sect, and Uncle Sword-Folding is recognized as a good talker.

However, for Uncle Fu Jian, who was bent on cultivating a successful killer from the three disciples under his name, the broken sword was vaguely his enemy, and he didn't want his disciple to get too close to this man who had no murderous aura on his body.

Therefore, although some of the three teenagers wanted to say hello to Uncle Folding Sword, after glancing at Master Fu Jian who was sitting at the same table, that kind of look suddenly made them all look at it slightly.

However, although they were silent, the folding sword in the bow of the boat took the initiative to speak, and said in a casual tone: "How? Have fun today? Have you seen anything interesting that would make me happy to say it? ”

"I was about to tell you." Although Fu Jian, who was sitting solemnly and upright in the boat, said this, but in his tone, there was no trace of a light-hearted joke.
