On the evening of the third day, sure enough, a young man in his twenties came to Lin Zhao's house.

Zhao Xie got up and introduced Lin Zhao.

"This is my third brother Zhao."

Compared with Zhao Xie, who is strong and slightly dark-skinned, Zhao Ji is slightly thinner and slightly fairer, and the biggest difference between the two brothers is that Zhao Xie is a saber and Zhao is a sword.

Compared with the saber, the saber is the mainstream in the rivers and lakes, and the reason is very simple, the knife is a thing that is controlled by the imperial court.

The lethality of the knife is huge, it is generally military or official, the people are forbidden to hold a knife, with armor, and it is not allowed to have a bow and crossbow, in comparison, although the sword is the standard configuration of scholars, but the court does not control it, so many people in the rivers and lakes wear swords.

Zhao Xie's saber is an anomaly.

That is, now the management is not strict, and in the Great Zhou more than a hundred years ago, the saber was found by the government, and it was to be imprisoned.

After Zhao Xie introduced his brother, he said to Zhao Ji: "This is the descendant of Yuan Dagong, Lin Zhaolin Gongzi, this time fortunately he went to Yuanda Communiqué letter, Yuan Dagong was able to get out of danger, and thanks to his careful care for more than a month, otherwise it may be difficult to heal this injury for my brother." ”

Zhao Xie's words are not exaggerating, when he broke into Lin Zhao's house at that time, he suffered a serious knife wound on his body, and if he changed to any family in Yuezhou City, I am afraid that he would report to the official for treatment. It is even more impossible to go to the Lin family to report for him.

As for the hundred-dollar money......

After Zhao Xie fainted at that time, he basically had no ability to resist, and no matter how much money he had, he would be looted.

If it weren't for Lin Zhao, Zhao Xie would be in a very dangerous situation at that time.

After Zhao Ji heard this, he looked at Lin Zhao deeply, bowed his head and said, "Thank you Gongzi Lin for saving my eldest brother." ”

"Funiu Mountain will always be grateful for the kindness of Gongzi."

Lin Zhao hurriedly helped him up, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There's no need for this, I accepted Zhao ...... Well, Brother Zhao's money, it is natural to do something for him, Brother Zhao's injury is not light, you can just come from your own family, just take him back and recuperate slowly. ”

Saying that, Lin Zhao took two steps out and smiled at Zhao Ji: "The two of you must have a lot to say, I'll go out for a while and come back." ”

With that, Lin Zhao pushed the door and walked out, leaving the room for the two brothers.

Zhao Ji looked at the back of Lin Zhao leaving, turned around and said to Zhao Xie with some surprise: "Big brother, this young man is so old. ”

"It's not just old age."

Zhao Xie shook his head and said, "We have thousands of people in Funiu Mountain, but I'm afraid that no one is smarter than this little boy." ”

After saying this, he looked up at Zhao Ji and asked, "Is there any movement over there in Chang'an?" ”

Zhao Ji sat down, frowned, and said: "Yuan Dagong's article scolding Kang Dongping caused an uproar in Chang'an, and many civil officials followed the letter to the imperial court, asking for a replacement of the Shuofang Jiedu envoy, but the imperial court never responded. ”

"And I heard ...... Chang'an has already sent people to Yuezhou. ”

Zhao Xie let out a long sigh: "The matter of Yuan Dagong is no longer something that we can interfere in Funiu Mountain, we have nothing else to do, we can only leave some people by Yuan Dagong's side and try our best to protect his safety." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Xie opened his mouth and asked, "How many people did you bring with you to Yuezhou this time?" ”

"About thirty people."

Zhao Ji said in a deep voice: "It was all ordered by my father, and what my father meant was that we should accompany Yuan Dagong, but don't alarm Yuan Dagong, so as not to cause trouble to Yuan Dagong." ”

"That's good."

Zhao Xie took a deep breath.

"You want to live in Yuezhou?"

Zhao Ji nodded: "Father meant, let me follow Yuan Dagong, and after a few days to figure out the situation in Yuezhou, the younger brother will go to see Yuan Dagong and be a guard by Yuan Dagong's side." ”

…………

The brothers, you said a word, and said something for most of the hour, and when Lin Zhao knocked on the door, Zhao Ji kept silent and went over to open the door for Lin Zhao.

After opening the door, he smiled at Lin Zhao and said, "Little boy, eldest brother asked me to teach you some kung fu, I don't know when you will have time?" ”

Lin Zhao lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said, "I have to go to the store to see the store during the day, so I can only study in the morning and evening." ”

"Okay, tomorrow I will send the eldest brother away, and early the day after tomorrow, I will come to look for the little son."

After saying this, he smiled at Lin Zhao, and then prepared to leave with Zhao Xie.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Zhao stopped the two brothers, bent over and turned under the bed, and finally pulled out a long knife with a black body and a white blade, and after taking it out, he handed it to Zhao Ji, and said, "This is... Brother Zhao's weapon, you can help him bring it back. ”

Zhao Xie was seriously injured at that time, but he still carried this knife in his hand, but he didn't have a scabbard, and he lost it when he wanted to start fighting the enemy.

Zhao Ji reached out to take the knife with some surprise, turned back to Zhao Xie and said, "I thought my brother's knife was lost during the fight, but I didn't expect it to be knifed by the little boy." ”

Zhao Xie shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I was unarmed on the first day here." ”

Zhao Ji's eyes when he looked at Lin Zhao were a little different, he arched his hand at Lin Zhao, and said with a smile: "In this way, we will see you the day after tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, he carried a knife in one hand and Zhao Xie in the other, and the two brothers quickly disappeared into the night.

Lin Zhao, on the other hand, cleaned up his room, tried his best to erase the traces left by Zhao Xie here, and after working for more than an hour, he cleaned the room, and then lay on the bed after a long absence, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, he still got up early and went to Sanyuan Bookstore to look at the store as usual, during this time, Xie Sanyuan was basically not in the store, and he was basically taking care of this bookstore alone.

But it was a different day.

He was at the counter pondering how to promote the Blue Mountain Collection that was about to be printed after sorting out the scattered books in the bookstore, when it was almost noon, when a familiar and annoying voice came.

"So you're hiding here!"

Lin Zhao frowned slightly, looked up, and sure enough, it was the Zhang family, who was a little fat, and the second brother Lin He, who was more than half a head taller than himself.

Lin Zhao has two elder brothers, the eldest brother Lin Xian is relatively gentle, and the second brother Lin He has been spoiled by the Zhang family since he was a child, and often looks for trouble with Lin Zhao when he has nothing to do, but Lin Zhao has always regarded him as a second fool and does not care about him.

"If you hadn't accompanied Hao'er to buy books nearby, I wouldn't have known that you were a buddy in the bookstore!"

The bookstores in Yuezhou City are concentrated in one or two blocks, which is convenient for readers to buy books, and the Sanyuan bookstore is also in this block.

Zhang's head was raised high, and his head was held high: "I also said that I was studying in the city, but I turned out to be a buddy in a bookstore, I don't know how your mother would feel if she knew that you were doing this in the city?" ”

Lin Zhao took a deep breath and walked out of the counter, he first looked at Zhang, then at the second brother, and frowned, "What do you want to do?" ”

Zhang raised his head slightly, and there was uncontrollable pride in his tone.

"I'm afraid you don't know yet, your second brother has already entered the master's house today, and he will be able to enter the master's house tomorrow to study."

"When your second brother wins the show and the lift, our family can enjoy happiness!"

Lin Zhao's brows furrowed even deeper, and he opened his mouth to ask, "So what?" ”

"So you, come back to Donghu Town with me!"

Zhang looked at Lin Zhao viciously: "From now on, our family will fully support your second brother's study, if you don't give money to your family in the city, and you can't help your family farm, what's the use?" ”

"You can go back to Donghu Town with me now!"

Lin He, who was standing next to her, also took two steps forward, he first glanced at the bookstore, and then slowly spoke.

"You are here to help other people's families, it is better to go back to Donghu Town to help your own family."

He turned his head to look at Lin Zhao and spoke.

"Go back with your mother obediently, so that you don't suffer."

As he spoke, he took two steps forward and even clenched his fists.

The meaning is obvious, if Lin Zhao doesn't go back, he will start beating people.

He is Lin Zhao's brother, and he does not break the law by beating Lin Zhao.
