In fact, at the beginning, Lin Pingzhi's expectation of going to Beijing to take the exam was like a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, one person and one sword, and he traveled to the end of the world with a sword.

After all, in the past two years, Lin Pingzhi, who has cultivated his internal skills to a higher level, can already be called a master in this Ming world where immortal monks do not come out and are chivalrous, and he has more than enough self-preservation.

It's a pity that as soon as he said such an idea, he was immediately suppressed by Lin Pingzhi's mother, Mrs. Wang.

The reason is also very simple, although Lin Pingzhi is less than ten years old, but after all, he is a decent man, and the dignity he should have is indispensable!

After going to the capital, thousands of people from all over Shenzhou who were waiting to take the exam gathered together, and there was no due decency, how could they integrate into their circle?

Therefore, there are really a lot of people who followed Lin Pingzhi all the way to Beiping Jingshi, and there are more than 50 scholars, servants, and dart guards.

Among those carriages, except for the one Lin Pingzhi was riding, all of them were specially prepared gifts, which were worth a lot of money.

Of course, the team of these dozens of people is definitely far inferior to the large caravans on the official roads of this era, which are as few as hundreds or as many as nearly a thousand, but just by virtue of the more than 30 Lin Zhennan carefully selected, the temples are bulging high, and the elite dart master with a knife is not easy for outsiders to mess with at a glance, it is already a force that is not weak at all.

Coupled with the fact that this team was hanging the famous Fuwei Dart Bureau pennant, Lin Pingzhi barely encountered any trouble during the journey for most of the month after leaving Fuzhou City.

And after the initial impulsive idea of going to the rivers and lakes alone, Lin Pingzhi, who calmed down, quickly gave up this idea.

After all, compared with wandering alone in the rivers and lakes, nesting in the carriage every day, while reading the popular contemporary scriptures and texts, while tasting the mountain spring tea along the road, honestly being a man who opens his mouth in clothes and stretches out his hand in food, this is really fragrant!

But the unexpected always comes so suddenly······

I still remember that day, the weather was sunny and it was a morning with fresh air.

Because the reserved time for the exam was very sufficient, and his little master had to study the book in the carriage, Lin Ping's convoy was not moving fast.

The driver of the carriage was an old servant who had served the Lin family for many years, and he pulled the rope unhurriedly, manipulating the pace of the horses, and carefully avoiding the mud puddles on the official road along the road, so as not to cause the carriage to vibrate violently.

At that time, Lin Pingzhi was sitting in the carriage and studying the Book of Changes, feeling the thoughts of the ancient sages.

The grand and gentle internal force is slowly flowing in his meridians, although the speed is much slower than the cultivation of the Eight Classics, but this state Lin Pingzhi can maintain around the clock, growing his strength all the time.

The section of the official road that the convoy walked was not large, and there were not many other people along the road, or it could be said that there were very few, especially the section of the official road they were walking on now, and it was often an hour or two before they encountered a team of carriages and horses.

The two sides of the official road are full of plane trees, and except for the occasional sound of fallen leaves scattered after the branches collide, the whole section of the official road seems to be very quiet.

However, there was a sudden "Drive!" Drive! and "Smack! Syllable! The sound of the whip waving sounded from the end of the official road.

Two apricot-colored horses, whipped by two extremely handsome young knights, galloped towards Lin Pingzhi's team.

They looked nervous, carrying long swords on their backs, and hurriedly rushed past Lin Pingzhi's carriage.

The sudden appearance of the two made the guards of the convoy look nervous, but after seeing them pass by quickly, the dart masters let go of their tense spirits.

After about a quarter of an hour later, a group of fifteen or sixteen knights dressed in brocade robes, with iron plates hanging from their waists, followed from the direction of the official road where the apricot-red horses had come.

After seeing Lin Pingzhi's chariot, the leading brocade-clothed man raised his right hand and gestured, and the more than 20 knights behind him divided into half and continued to chase.

The other half, under the leadership of the leader of the brocade-clothed man, surrounded him with a tacit understanding.

"Brush!" "Brush!"

Seeing that the comers were not good, the dart masters who were guarding several carriages instantly drew their waist knives and made a defensive formation.

The leader of the dart division who escorted the convoy this time was Lin Zhennan's cronies, and he had personally seen Lin Pingzhi's incarnation of the "Sun Chasing Sword" Duan Zhenxian's horse dart head, and he stepped forward and shouted.

"Who's coming?"

"Why are you stopping me from advancing with the people of the Fuwei Dart Bureau!"

Although the number of those brocade-clothed men is less than that of these Fuwei dart masters, they all look full of confidence.

The leading brocade-clothed man, seeing the well-trained appearance of the dart masters, his eyes were fixed, and he directly took off the waist card and held it high.

"I am Li Yao, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei."

"Now, I order you to wait for the carriage to open the curtains!"

"I want to thoroughly investigate the others, whether they harbor important criminals!"

Li Yao, a strong man in brocade, didn't think that the group of dart masters in front of him would dare to refuse his order, but the actions of the elite dart masters shocked him and made his tone of speech with a hint of solemnity.

Jinyiwei!

And it's a hundred households in brocade clothes!

That's not a petty official, the official rank of a hundred households is a positive sixth!

The self-proclaimed name of this brocade-clad strong man surprised the horseman.

He led the horse up a few steps, carefully checked the waist card held high by the strong man in brocade after a few eyes, especially after confirming the strange dark lines at the four corners of the waist card, he hurriedly led the horse and turned around, walked towards the carriage, and prepared to report to the little master.

As one of the senior darts heads of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, he really took over a few orders of "trading" under the official face, and the waist card taken out by the strong man in brocade in front of him was really the same as the production process of the waist card of the brocade guard he had contacted.

In the eyes of the head of the horse, it is nothing to let these officials take a look, although there are many gifts in the carriage, although there are many large items, but the value of them is not worth a brocade-clothed official, pulling down his face and snatching it with a knife with himself and others.

And the really valuable small pieces are carried by the little master and himself, more than one thing is better than one less, they are not afraid of shadows.

It's a pity that his idea quickly fell through.

"Jin Yiwei?"

Before the head of the horse dart walked to the carriage where Lin Pingzhi was, a young voice came directly from the carriage.

"If Your Excellency is really a hundred households in Jinyi, it is not impossible for Your Excellency to check it."

"But Your Excellency, as the criminal officer of the hundred households in Dongchang, pretended to be a member of the Jinyi Guard and wanted to investigate me, please forgive me for not accepting it!"

Lin Pingzhi wore a square scarf on his head, held a volume of "I Ching" in his hand, and wore a Confucian robe, directly opened the curtain of half of the carriage, and walked out of the carriage very unceremoniously.

The old servant beside him, who pretended to be a coachman, directly handed Lin Pingzhi a long sword.

Lin Pingzhi also took it unceremoniously, and suddenly drew his sword, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Li Yao, a strong man in brocade clothes in front of him.

Seeing Lin Pingzhi's actions, all the dart masters present were stunned.

But they are worthy of Lin Zhennan, the master of the dart game, and the cronies who were carefully selected to protect Lin Pingzhi, even in the face of the famous Dongchang criminal officer, when they saw their young master draw their swords and face each other, they all pulled out their long knives, their arms were tight, and they were ready to do it at any time.

Even the head of the horse, after the initial flurging, subconsciously pulled out a long knife and guarded Lin Pingzhi's side.

The atmosphere on the official road instantly turned cold, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out.

Lin Ping's violent reaction almost immediately made the leader of the brocade-clothed man Li Yao stunned.

In recent years, with the decay of the Ming bureaucracy, the control of the grassroots has been declining day by day, but after all, the Ming Dynasty is still there, and the feudal order is still there.

Li Yao has been a criminal officer in Dongchang for so many years, and he has really never met such a faceless scholar.

However, Li Yao, a strong man in brocade clothes who was suspicious by nature, was still a little frightened by Lin Pingzhi at this time.

Although Lin Pingzhi is young, judging from the way he dresses, there is no doubt that the people who went to Beijing to take the exam are not businessmen and civilians without identity.

But a simple person would not be so bold as to dare to openly confront himself and others.

In addition, what really made Li Yao feel hot was that from the moment Lin Pingzhi drew his sword and pointed it at him, he felt a fatal crisis enveloping his heart.

Among these people in front of him, there are definitely people who can threaten his life!

This innate sixth sense, when he was on a dangerous mission, had saved his life several times, so that Li Yao, the criminal officer of the hundred households in Dongchang, did not dare to underestimate these people in front of him.

Because Lin Pingzhi's current youth is too deceptive, this brocade-clothed strong man self-righteously took a deep look at the calm coachman on Lin Pingzhi's side, and then decisively stopped his own side from drawing his sword, which can be regarded as easing the current atmosphere.

"Who are you?"

"Can you recognize us?"

Cold sweat began to ooze from his back, but he still kept his voice calm, barely losing ground in his momentum.

"Donglin, Lin Pingzhi!"

"You are a disciple of Donglin Gu Dazhang, 'Bamboo and Stone Genius' Lin Pingzhi!"

"It's down there!"

Seeing Lin Pingzhi's admission, the strong man in brocade suddenly realized.

In this era, the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian was in charge of the East Factory, with monstrous power, and he repeatedly recruited people from the Jinyi Wei directly under the royal family, and even the uniform was roughly similar to the Jinyi Wei.

But, after all, they are two departments, and there are still subtle differences in clothing.

Ordinary people may be able to tell the difference well, but as one of the biggest enemies of the eunuch party, the apprentice of the Donglin gentleman, Lin Pingzhi can tell the difference between them, which is not surprising.

After all, the people who know you best are often your enemies!

When he knew the identity of Lin Pingzhi's Donglin gentleman and the rookie of Donglin, the enemy of the eunuch party, Li Yao, a strong man in brocade, flashed a cold light in his eyes, and subconsciously wanted to kill Lin Pingzhi, a "bamboo and stone genius", in advance.

But the previous terrifying and fatal feeling still made him react in time.

There is a master on the other side, and there is a master who can kill him!

Under the threat of his life, Li Yao, a strong man in brocade, did not choose to fight directly after all, but silently raised a gesture again, signaling the men in brocade to follow him away.

After leaving half a mile away, he felt that the deadly crisis had disappeared, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, and turned to look at the convoy at the end of the official road, which was getting farther and farther away, with a gloomy face.

On the other side, Lin Pingzhi felt that those Dongchang fans were inexplicable, and they looked like they were anticlimactic.

The previous brocade guards, one of them counts as one, and they are all influentials in the rivers and lakes, and the leading brocade-clothed strong man, in Lin Pingzhi's breath perception, has a third-rate peak, close to the second-rate internal cultivation.

This is also in addition to their official status, dare to block more with less, and block the confidence of more than 30 elite dart masters with knives in the Fuwei Dart Bureau.

But two years later, Lin Pingzhi, whose martial arts had completely entered the first-class, did not take them seriously.

For him, who is really getting started with the improved "Evil Warding Sword Spectrum", as long as he is willing to expose his high-strength swordsmanship in front of the dart masters, and kill this group of Dongchang eagle dogs without letting go of one person, although it is a little troublesome, but it is not impossible to do it!

An extraordinary master who has entered the first-class level, impacted the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and belongs to the superstructure in the entire martial arts, is so confident!

But I don't know why, the brocade leader suddenly evacuated by himself!

Now I don't know that the criminal officer of Dongchang is actually Lin Pingzhi who was scared away by himself, and he feels a little confused by the second monk, but he doesn't think about it anymore.

The top priority is to leave this place as soon as possible, so as not to be killed by the Dongchang fanzi, who brought in a large group of people to turn around.

"Uncle Ma, let everyone change the road at the intersection of the official road in front, and then move forward at full speed!"

"Yes, little sir!"

······

Everything seemed to have returned to the calm of the road, Lin Pingzhi handed the sword to the coachman, and after returning to the carriage, he was not in a hurry to sit down.

Instead, he held the "Book of Changes" and said indifferently to the innermost side of the carriage.

"Those people from the East Factory have already left!"

"Two sons."

"Or, should you call the two girls, can you tell me?"

"Who are you?"

"And why, was chased and killed by the lackeys of Dongchang?"

Between Lin Pingzhi's words, the empty cushion in the innermost part of the carriage suddenly became hazy, and two slender figures appeared from it.

······
