The middle-aged man didn't look back, and said as he walked, "Our master is the deputy envoy gunner of the Tokyo Jiazhan Warehouse, Lord Ling Zhenling. ”

Shi Xiu nodded lightly, and shook his head at Shi Jin and the others with a relaxed face, indicating that he didn't know each other.

Shi Xiu shook his head with a wry smile, and entered the house with the inexplicable Shi Jin. When he looked at the house, he couldn't help nodding his head again and again, he really didn't expect that as a strange overnight traveler, this Ling family would be treated so favorably. The big bed in the room is not only covered with clean bedding, but also fruit snacks.

After a while, I heard a knock on the door, and when I opened the door, I saw a housekeeper and two maids, both carrying a food box, and the housekeeper said, "Our old lady said that she had prepared some coarse tea and light rice, and invited the guests to eat." ”

Hit the food box on the table, and where is the coarse tea and light rice, but there is wine and meat.

Shi Xiu put away his thoughts and thanked the maid and the maid together with Shi Jin. "Please also say goodbye, and allow the three of us to thank the old lady in person!"

The maid is still hesitating, and the family has long been in charge. "It just so happens that my host is also back, and I should introduce a few guests!"

Shi Jin and the three of them immediately followed the family out, turned left and right, and entered a main house.

As soon as Shi Jin entered the room and looked inside, he saw that there was a large wine table inside. A white-haired old woman in yellow satin was sitting in the center, looking at this side with a smile, and to the left of the old lady sat a man in civilian clothes, in his thirties, with a dark face. Long burly and powerful, with a mustache and a pair of bright eyes, he looks like a marching man.

Shi Jin knew that this old lady should be the old lady of the Ling family, and that man must be his son --- Ling Zhen.

At this moment, the keen Shi Xiu and Ling Zhen's eyes happened to match, and Shi Xiu found that Ling Zhen first looked at himself, and then looked at Shi Jin and Xue Yong, as if he was frowning.

Shi Xiu's heart moved, this Ling Zhen was originally a military general in Tokyo, and he should have done many things on weekdays, such as exterminating mountain bandits and arresting repeat offenders. Could it be that he has a keen sense of professional smell and smells the fierce aura of the three of them?

Over there, Shi Jin took a few steps forward and bent down at the old lady and Ling Zhen and said, "Thank you for being taken in by Aunt Han and Brother Tai, and for your warm hospitality, I am grateful." I wish Aunt Han a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity than Nanshan. ”

"Okay, good...... Aunt Han said kindly, "Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my relatives every festival." It's not easy for you travelers, and you're just doing the little things you can. ”

After that, Aunt Han ordered again, "Quickly give a few seats." ”

Shi Xiu didn't dare to sit here for a long time, so he hurriedly waved his hand before Shi Jin and said, "No, no, no, no need!" We just came over to say thank you, Aunt Han reunited for a year, and I won't bother when I wait. ”

Aunt Han smiled and nodded, and Shi Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he and Shi Jin took a few steps back, and were about to turn around and leave, they suddenly heard a shout, "Slow!" ”

Shi Xiu was startled, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Ling Zhen who was drinking.

The three of them had to stop, Shi Jin secretly glanced at Shi Xiu next to him, and saw Shi Xiu glancing at him. Looking up again, Ling Zhenzheng was leaving the table and walking this way, and when he got closer, he asked Shi Jin, "Where are you from?" Where are you going? ”

Shi Jinzi dealt with the officials and soldiers, and replied respectfully, "Lord Hui, we are from Weizhou, and we are going to Suzhou to visit relatives. ”

"Visiting family?" Ling Zhen said, "It will take a few days to go to Suzhou, why don't you take the waterway?" ”

"This ......," Shi Jin replied, "It was originally planned well, but who expected that there was a bandit there when crossing the river, so I didn't dare to take the waterway." ”

"How did you get your tattoos? Why are you so young and angry? Ling Zhen asked Shi Jin again and again.

Shi Xiu's face changed when he heard this, and the secret way was not good, and Shi Jin's face was also a little ugly.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the old lady say a little angrily, "Zhen'er! ”

Ling Zhen's face froze, and he turned around and replied respectfully, "Mother, what's the matter?" ”

Shi Jin looked at Aunt Han, and saw that she was a little angry and said, "When people are out of the house, it's normal to have anything you don't want to say, what are you doing?" ”

Ling Zhen's lips moved, and he swallowed back when he wanted to speak.

Aunt Han continued, "Do you know why my mother eats fasting and recites Buddha every day and does more good deeds? It's not because you kill too much, my mother can only ask the Buddha to give you more karma! ”

After that, Aunt Han sighed heavily. Only then did he turn his head and say apologetically to Shi Jin and the others, "Let you be frightened, the old body feels guilty, please go back and rest." ”

Ling Zhen sighed when he heard this, and finally ignored Shi Jin and the others, and returned to the table and sat down. His family has recently suffered an accident, otherwise he would not have returned. It's just that if there is something wrong with Shi Jin and the three of them, it's not his responsibility!

Shi Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly saluted Aunt Han, and the three of them left the lobby and began to walk back along the same road.

Just now, the family Ding sent Shi Jin and the others back to the gate of the courtyard, Shi Jin and the three of them entered the house, and as soon as they closed the door, Xue Yong said, "It was really dangerous just now, who would have expected that Aunt Han's son would be so serious." ”

Shi Jin also nodded, "That's right, just now I saw that he had doubts about our identity......

Shi Xiu looked at Shi Jin, Shi Jin nodded slightly, "Without further ado, leave here quickly!" ”

It is difficult to go down the mountain this time, and Wang Lun has already explained. Shi Jin is in charge of the overall situation, and Shi Xiu is on the side to assist.

Shi Xiu sighed in his heart, he really didn't expect this Ling Zhen to be like this, he got up and said, "Let's go!" ”

Safety first, the original intention of recruiting Ling Zhen has long been gone.

It was late at night, and there was silence outside.

I saw that the room of Shi Jin and the others was dark, but the door suddenly opened quietly. Then a black head poked out,

The man first looked out, then listened, and found nothing unusual, so he quickly flashed out of the house. The figure flashed quickly, and in a few quick steps, it disappeared into the darkness under the wall.

In the darkness, Shi Jin lowered his voice and instructed Xue Yong, "Let Brother Shixiu go out to explore the road first, look for horses, and when he comes back, we will leave." ”

Xue Yong nodded slightly, sighed, and said, "Finally, I don't have to face that Black Thunder Gong!" ”

There were only two people left in the room, and Shi Jinqi said, "How can you say that?" ”

At this time, Xue Yong was also familiar with Shi Jin and Shi Xiu, and said bluntly: "Didn't you notice that this person's martial arts arena has flying fire crows and divine arrows?" There was also a smell of gunpowder on the general's body, and the housekeeper also said that he was the official of the powder magazine, but it was not Lei Gong! ”

Shi Jin also smiled when he heard Xue Yong's metaphor, originally wanted to recruit Ling Zhen, but now he was scared away.

After being silent for a while, Shi Jin pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's nothing, by the way, Brother Xue, what do you think of Ling Zhen?" ”

"Him?" Xue Yong pondered for a moment and said, "I see that this person is thoughtful and observant, and it should be good to come to govern the army, but I don't know how martial arts are." ”

Xue Yong paused slightly, seemed to laugh, and asked Shi Jin again as if jokingly, "What?" Brother Shi likes this person? Want to befriend him again? ”

Shi Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Befriending him?" We were all so frightened by him that we fled, and we still dare to befriend him? ”

Regarding the matter of gunpowder, Shi Jin also remembered that Wang Lun had told him, but now he had nothing to do with Ling Zhen.
