In the blink of an eye, it was five days and nights. In the past five days, the two girls probably really didn't want to involve Lin Pingzhi, except for the nodding acquaintance at the dinner in the evening and telling Lin Pingzhi their girlfriend names, they didn't have more in-depth conversations with Lin Pingzhi.

In Lin Pingzhi's perception, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, the two of them meditated cross-legged as soon as they returned to the carriage, cultivating a kind of Taoist internal strength that was born from the same origin and had a flowing breath like water, and their bodies gradually returned to normal from the atrophied state when they first saw them.

Even the young lady who led the two of them was a blessing in disguise after recovering from her injuries, and on the third night of the journey, she broke through the third-rate realm of internal force martial arts in one fell swoop.

At an age that looks about the same as Lin Pingzhi, being able to enter the stream, even if it is only a third-rate, this young lady's martial arts qualifications are already top-notch in the Ming martial arts!

is placed in the real famous and decent families on the rivers and lakes, and before the age of double ten, they will cultivate to the third-rate realm, which is also a level that only a very small number of elite disciples can achieve.

After all, internal strength, except for a very few special martial arts similar to the star-absorbing Dafa, no matter how powerful the others are, they rely on a water mill kung fu, and the time for normal martial arts people to advance by leaps and bounds is around 30 years old, but not everyone has a system like Lin Pingzhi to do plug-ins.

is like Lin Pingzhi's father, Lin Zhennan, who was just a third-rate peak martial artist before Lin Pingzhi's awakening of Su Hui.

When the sun was in the middle of the sky, not far away, the high city wall of Mingzhou Mansion had already appeared at the end of the official road.

The young lady of the two girls, who claimed to be named Zhou Yuanning, saw that the city wall of Mingzhou Mansion in the distance had come into view, so she asked the carriage to stop moving for a while and took the maid Ping'er down from the carriage.

"Little girl and Ping'er, thank you for your help along the way."

They came to the carriage that Lin Pingzhi was riding in now and saluted Lin Pingzhi, who also got out of the carriage.

"It's just a gesture!"

"The girl stopped at this time, do you want to leave first?"

After Lin Pingzhi returned the gift, he took out a folding fan and fanned it slightly, looking like a beautiful son.

Although they have been together for a few days, except for the first time in the carriage on the first day, they only chatted a few words after night fell and had dinner in the evening, so it was the first time for the two girls to see Lin Pingzhi under the noon sun, covered in sunshine.

The already extremely handsome appearance, coupled with the elegant temperament after reading poetry and books, is really in line with the aesthetics of men in this era, making the two girls in front of him blush slightly, and there seems to be a deer shaking in his heart.

"How can you be so good-looking!"

"Why did I find out that Lin Gongzi is so handsome today?"

The two girls under the sun looked at Lin Pingzhi for a few moments before they suddenly came to their senses, and Zhou Yuanning, who was called "Miss" by Ping'er, lowered her head and stared, and then said softly.

"Childe was able to cover us before, which is already a great grace, and he dare not bother Childe's escort."

Zhou Yuanning is worthy of being a noble woman who is suspected to be from the clan, and between her words, her complexion completely returned to normal, raised her head, and looked at Lin Pingzhi's eyes with a pair of beautiful eyes on her veil and continued calmly.

"The eunuchs have been chasing us and others, and the road back to Beijing can be described as dangerous······

"Miss Zhou, there is no need to say more!"

But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lin Pingzhi's righteous words.

"Since Miss Zhou knows the name of Donglin's 'Bamboo and Stone Genius', she should understand."

"I, Lin Pingzhi, am the target of the eunuchs' key suppression, whether I help the girl or not, the eunuchs are my enemies!"

Although Lin Pingzhi's words were a little rampant, Zhou Yuanning and the maid Ping'er behind her secretly nodded in their hearts, with their past identities, they naturally knew that this orthodox Donglin, who was still a great talent who moved the world, had been secretly targeted by the eunuch party in the past two years.

Although the eunuch party also followed the dark rules of official power, it did not use official power to suppress the Lin family's dart business on the surface.

But secretly, the Dongchang and Jinyiwei forces under the protection of the eunuch party still spread a lot of rumors unfavorable to Lin Pingzhi outside the coastal areas, especially in most inland provinces, but because the time was too short, the effect was not great for the time being.

In the past two years of secret suppression by the eunuch forces, Lin Pingzhi, a descendant of Donglin who has Gu Dazhang, a gentleman of Donglin, as a teacher, is naturally clear.

Especially after the Son of Heaven fell ill, in order to compete for the dominance of the imperial court, the struggle between the eunuchs and the Donglin faction has entered a white-hot stage, but he worshiped a good teacher of the core figure of Donglin, and he didn't let him worry too much.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"

"Since Miss Zhou is returning to Beijing, she is just going to continue to walk all the way with the next one, and as a great scholar who is going to Beijing to participate in the examination, she will definitely be able to protect the safety of the girl!"

Lin Pingzhi's words can be described as upright, in this immortal Dao hidden chivalrous Daming, as a first-class master, he has such confidence.

"'The enemy of the enemy is my friend', what Lin Gongzi said is so good!"

Zhou Yuning hadn't spoken yet, but Ping'er, the maid behind her, stepped forward half a step forward and whispered in her own young lady's ear.

"Since Lin Gongzi is the same as us, he is an enemy of the eunuch party, miss, let's just go with Lin Gongzi!"

"This ······"

Ping'er's words made Zhou Yuanning, who was already a little hesitant, moved, she ran out secretly, although the matter of finding the elixir for her father was very involved, but as Lin Pingzhi said, their enemies were all eunuchs, whether they were brought or not, the eunuchs did not have the slightest good impression of Lin Pingzhi.

Raising her head, she looked at Lin Pingzhi's incomparably handsome face again, and her little heart suddenly beat quickly a few times again, somehow, she was still ready to be reserved, but the words of agreement blurted out.

"Then, please ask Young Master Lin to support you all the way······"

——————————————

Different from the hidden advance imagined by Zhou Yuanning, the young lady of the suspected clan, Lin Pingzhi and them were high-profile all the way to the Beijing Division of Beiping.

As a famous bamboo and stone genius in Shenzhou during this period, the only personal disciple of Donglin gentleman Gu Dazhang, Lin Pingzhi's card is bigger than Zhou Yuanning imagined, especially after going out of the surrounding provinces of Fuzhou, almost everywhere he goes, he is entertained by the local gentry who are close to the Donglin Party.

This shocked her inexplicably, and for the first time she found that in her father's mouth, the eunuch party led by the 9,000-year-old who was in power and the country and the people had no control over the local area as tightly as she imagined.

The gentry who were close to Donglin on this road entertained and held banquets, and it was not until they approached the provinces around Beijing and the core areas of the eunuch party that they were somewhat restrained, but they envied Lin Pingzhi's talent and hoped that he would participate in the invitation of the local literati poetry club, which was still numerous.

is so high-profile that some forces who originally wanted to secretly make a move and make Lin Pingzhi have an "accident" on the way to the exam, have to give up some of their previous ideas.

Just when Lin Pingzhi and Zhou Yuanning were in the Fuwei Dart Bureau convoy, the rescue was approaching the Beijing Division.

In the imperial city of Beiping, as the Son of Heaven fell into the water and fell seriously ill, the atmosphere in the palace was silent, and a team of eunuchs and palace maids patrolled the various checkpoints in the palace in a whispered and careful manner.

It was night, in a hut near where the Son of Heaven's sickbed was.

"Haven't you found any trace of the county lord yet?"

The eunuch Wang Tiqian, who was mainly in charge of the affairs of the East Factory, respectfully prostrate in front of a man with a gloomy temperament sitting on a rattan chair.

"Ancestor, the people under the protection of the minions, have not found any trace of the county master!"

Hearing the report that nothing had been found, the gloomy man frowned, and instead of paying attention to the cronies and eunuchs kneeling on the ground, he looked at the brocade-clothed man who was standing in front of him and bowed his head, and asked directly.

"Liangqing, where are you?"
