Chapter 36: Reflection
Qingyaoxuan's reputation spread directly at the speed of the wind in the upper communication circle of Linyue City, and in one night, there was almost no that gentleman who didn't know, and he was warned countless times by the elders in one night, and Qingyaoxuan was listed as a forbidden place by all races.
There is no person with bold cultivation who dares to provoke, not to mention that he is unlearned, the small people and vendors in Linyue City do not know what is happening, and they can vaguely hear the conversation between each other, and it is related to the heavy rain yesterday and the Lin family, but the specific details are not very clear, but the young masters who were everywhere on the street before disappeared without a trace today.
There is an invisible repression on the street, so that it is extra careful, and it is afraid of unconsciously provoking some terrible existence, so they are cautious about doing business, and the usual shouting and shouting is also like nothing at this time, at this time, it is still as low as possible to reduce the sense of existence.
In the Lin family meeting hall, there are countless people standing and sitting, almost all the Lin family members are gathered here, their faces are depressed, sadness can be seen everywhere, and everyone's eyes are pinning their hopes on Lin Haotian in front and in the middle.
The chairs in the front row were full of people in power, including the shopkeeper of the Foreign Affairs Hall, the refining master of the refining workshop, and the current head of the family and the major elders, etc., there were too many people to count.
Lin Haotian stood in the center, pacing back and forth, his face full of sadness, and he didn't speak since he came out of Qingyaoxuan.
"Father, isn't it already over, why do you still have to arrange for the juniors to go out of the city!"
The head of the family, Lin Dong, asked the old father tentatively, he hadn't reacted yet, he had gone to visit Qingyaoxuan before, and he didn't see his father put down the gift list, how did the gift go out, and it was carried back as it was, it always felt inappropriate, but it was not good to ask Lin Haotian, no, as soon as he got home, the great elder gathered everyone in the Lin family in the council hall, at this moment, seeing Lin Haotian's heavy face, he also faintly felt that something bad had happened.
"Silly boy, aren't you deaf, didn't you hear what the old man said, the three of Miss Qing's master and servant have already left, won't others know, after a long time, I'm afraid that the entire Linyue City vendors will know, can our Lin family still be safe?"
Lin Haotian raised his head and looked at his eldest son, hating iron is not steel, but what can he do, he gave birth to it, he taught it, who can blame him for being stupid? But there is a little comfort that the grandchildren are okay, and there are a few who can get on the stage, especially the three children of the old Lin Xi, one is better than the other.
Thinking about it, he smiled bitterly for no reason, turned his head to look at Lin Jingyun who was standing beside his father, and continued:
"At that time, I'm afraid that the Huo family will come to the door again, I was supposed to visit today, in addition to thanking for saving my life, I also wanted to see if I could have a relationship with this young lady, but the people left, and our Lin family has no king to protect it, how can we get through this difficult hurdle!"
Lin Dong heard what his father said, the comfort he had just enjoyed, swept away, his face was pale, and he unconsciously began to get nervous, the crisis has not passed, it will break out at any time, he can't wait to slap himself twice, he is too incompetent as the head of the family, everything has to bother the old father to think about it, thinking of this, he can't help but blush again, and dare not look at Lin Haotian again.
"Father, is it still according to the previous arrangement to let the junior go to the Moon Forest?"
Lin Dong lowered his head, hiding his embarrassment, and thought of the previous arrangement, so he continued to ask.
"You stupid boy, now that there is enough time, there is a lot of danger in the Mochizuki Forest, you let the boys go to death, even if the Huo family finds out that Miss Qing is gone, they will not do it immediately, and besides, the City Lord's Mansion has lost the hearts of the people because of the use of the ghost hunchback, so there is no need to worry. ”
Lin Haotian looked at his eldest son Lin Dong with disappointment, his prestige was lost, and he looked a lot older, with tears in his eyes, at a critical time, it had no effect at all, and he had to rely on him as an old thing, hoping to turn the crisis into safety!
Lin Haotian frowned tightly and continued:
"Let's arrange it now, transfer it immediately, go to the Dayan Empire, but you can't leave all at once, transfer it little by little, first the juniors will go, then you will go, I and a few elders will go last, let's go down and prepare! ”
Lin Haotian arranged, did not pay attention to Lin Dong anymore, but glanced at Lin Jingyun and Lin Jingyu with expectant eyes, and finally walked towards the shopkeeper Li of the Lin family's Foreign Affairs Hall and Master Zhang of the refining workshop.
The City Lord's Mansion at the end of Qinglong Street is unusually quiet without the noise of the past.
In the reception hall of the City Lord's Mansion, there were two people sitting and two people standing at this time, forming a clear contrast.
Sitting on the main seat was Ouyang Zan, with a gloomy face, staring at the ghost hunchback standing in the center of the lower head with disgust, the middle-aged man shook the folding fan in his hand, sitting on the chair on the left side of the city lord, still with that kind of graceful and wandering expression, looking at this expression, as if nothing had happened, and he was as leisurely and free as before.
Ouyang Yichen stood on the right side of Ouyang Zan, dressed in white clothes, embroidered with flowing orchids on the placket, setting off more graceful, standing on the side thoughtfully, engrossed, looking more chic and charming.
"What is the problem with this failure, sir?"
Ouyang Zan retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man on his left side, and broke the strange silence with a loud voice.
"Wei thinks that there are three problems in this failure, and if they are not solved, it will be difficult to gain anything!"
The middle-aged man glanced at Ouyang Zan with deep eyes, and said in an uncertain voice.
"Please make it clear!"
Ouyang Zan sincerely asked for advice on the surface, hugged his fists, and looked very humble, but he hated it in his heart, why did he go earlier, now he is talking about the Tao, when it is really useful, he will not let go of a fart, and now it has become an afterthought.
"First, you shouldn't be in a hurry to make a move without understanding the situation of the Lin family; second, you shouldn't assassinate the Huo family, because there will be endless troubles; third, you shouldn't have made the first move, but you fell behind. ”
The middle-aged man was clearly organized, and he said with his head in a way, not paying attention to the changes in Ouyang Zan's eyes, maybe he didn't care at all!
"The first one of the sir is understandable, and the second one should be fine!"
Ouyang Zan shook his head, a little disagreeing with the middle-aged man's second statement, if he didn't kill Huo Weicheng, how could the first half of Master Mei's refining treasure book have his share, he felt that the only miscalculation was that he didn't find out the surrounding friends of the Lin family.
"The city lord thought wrongly, the assassination, if he was killed at that time, he could die without proof, the problem now is that the Huo family is alive and well, as long as the king of the Huo family arrives, he will definitely ask the teacher for the crime, and if it is not handled well, it will be another catastrophe. ”
The middle-aged man said indifferently, as if he remembered his past, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and the three people present had goosebumps all over their bodies, and the entire hall was cold and chilly for a moment, making people tremble unconsciously.
"Then what to do now to avoid the next catastrophe?"
Ouyang Zan also realized the seriousness of the situation, turned his head and stared at the ghost hunchback, this time he hated and disgusted even more, and his eyes derived a kind of horror of tearing human flesh alive and eating human bones, the more he looked at it, the more piercing it became, the ghost hunchback standing next to him had a numb scalp, his legs were trembling, and he was gloomy, and it seemed that he could not escape death!
