Chapter 12 Departure
Early in the morning, Li Lin was packing up his things to explain things, and the entire mansion was busy, and the servants and guards came and went in a hurry.
In the study, Wang Ming stood in front of Li Lin. Li Lin sat at the desk, writing something, writing for a while, and handed it to Wang Ming with the city lord token.
"Remember, you are the acting lord of the city during the time I am away, and all the affairs of the city will be taken care of by you. ”
"Yes, City Lord, my subordinates will definitely manage Stone City well. Wang Ming respectfully took the things handed over by the city lord and assured the city lord.
"Well, I'm sure you can do it well, go ahead. Wang Ming saluted and retreated.
Li Lin thought about whether he had forgotten anything and what he hadn't done, Li Tian pushed open the door and walked in. "Father, are you all packed? ”
"It should be nothing, let's go. Li Lin took Li Tian to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, took the rope handed over by his subordinates, turned over and rode out of Stone City.
Li Lin was silent all the way, just kept speeding up, Li Tian knew that his father was worried about his grandfather Li Wuyan's injury, and at the same time, he was also worried about what might happen when he returned to Tianwu City, and he didn't know what attitude to face Li Feng and Shangguan Feiyue.
Li Tian deeply knows that after so many years, most of the people who had conflicts with his father before are now stronger than him, and Shangguan Feiyue may have forgotten him, but it is also possible that he still loves him. All this upset Li Lin.
I walked along the official road for a long time, passing through several villages and towns, and the sun was slowly setting. There were gradually more pedestrians on the road, and Li Tian knew that Jiangcheng had arrived. This is their destination, and from here they have to transfer to the boat and take the waterway to Tianwu City.
Jiangcheng is built along the river and has developed transportation. Ships come and go every day, and there are ships from here to the major cities of the Tenmu Kingdom. Li Lin took Li Tian to the ferry, where there were many ships, passenger ships and cargo ships abounded. Li Lin came to the ferry and asked several people, and found a passenger boat bound for Tianwu City. Li Lin and Li Tian came to a big boat, paid the fare, and got on the boat.
Li Tian stood on the deck, looking at the vast river, silent for a long time, along the way, his father was a little silent since he stepped on the road. Li Tian didn't know what to explain him. We can only talk about it then. Along the way, Li Tian also understood why Shicheng was called a remote place. I didn't see two or three of them all year round in the Shicheng Spiritual Period, but I saw five or six not long after I came to Jiangcheng, and I thought that there would be more and stronger powerhouses in Tianwu City. Everything is determined by strength, and he has to grow up quickly in order to protect his father.
Late at night, Li Tian returned to the room, Li Lin hadn't slept yet, and seemed to be waiting for him. "Tian'er, it may not be pleasant to go back this time, if you are wronged by then, you can go back to Shicheng or where your master lives. ”
Li Tian knew that the people of Tianwu City were not very good to his father, and his father didn't want to let him go, for fear that he would be wronged, and he felt uncomfortable.
"Father, it's okay, I won't let others bully, Master said I can walk sideways, and Uncle Shi also asked me to play for a while before returning to the valley, you can rest assured, rest early." ”
Li Lin looked at the high-spirited Li Tian, and felt a little proud in his heart, after all, this was his son. Thinking about it again, with the skills taught by the two seniors, Li Tian will not necessarily suffer. Thinking about the journey today, I was troubled and tired, so I lay down and rested.
Li Tian watched Li Lin fall asleep and began to cultivate. The night was silent, except for the roar of the river outside. In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep early, two black-clothed masked men were tiptoeing close to Li Tian's room.
"Lao Zhao, are you sure it's this room, don't make a mistake?"
"There's no mistake, I've been staring at them, watching them go in, get them out. ”
Li Tian has been cultivating and is extremely vigilant around him. When these two black-clothed men appeared, he found out, and when he saw that their strength was only three levels of forging bodies, and their ordinary strength, he didn't care. A trace of spirit was paying attention to their behavior, and seeing them get closer and closer to this room, he knew that it was for their father and son.
Stopping his cultivation and staring carefully, he saw a man in black take out a long wooden tube and reach into the room, and a puff of smoke drifted in.
It's not good, Li Tian held his breath, the whole person jumped up, and his body rushed quickly towards the door. With his fingers into claws, he pierced through the wooden door and grabbed the necks of the two people, and his arms were forceful, and the two of them knocked out of each other.
Li Tian's whole body was dizzy, his body staggered, and he knew that he was rushing too fast, so he came to the smoke and accidentally inhaled it. As soon as their hands were released, the two people outside the door fell to the ground, and the voice came out. The whole person couldn't stand up, and fell backwards, only to find that he had fallen into Li Lin's arms.
Li Lin was woken up when Li Tian jumped up, and when he saw Li Tian's set of movements, he felt a little proud in his heart, so he knew that Li Tian was about to fall, so he hurriedly went up to catch him, hugged Li Tian and put him back on the bed, went over to collect the wooden tube, opened the door and carried the two people outside the door in.
Although the sound of the two of them falling to the ground just now was small, someone around heard it. A few people opened the door and saw that it was dark outside, and they retreated without seeing anything. Although the few Heling Periods on the ship roughly knew what was going on, it was none of their business, and Li Lin's strength at the peak of the Heling made them feel in danger, so naturally no one would come forward stupidly.
Li Tian inhaled a little smoke just now, and his mind was dizzy, but after all, the amount was small, and he recovered after lying on the bed for a while. Stood up and went over to remove the face scarves of the two men in black.
Looking at Li Lin, Li Lin was also a little puzzled. He had never seen these two people, and he had no impression in his mind, so they should have been poisoned by someone on their behalf.
Li Tian took out the gourd from the ring, this is still the wine treasure he got from the master, there is space inside, and he has not tried how big the capacity is. However, it is enough to decorate the waterway and drink. As soon as it was poured, the water flowed down and poured on the heads of the two people. After a while, the two men woke up and turned away, looking around in confusion.
"I asked you if you heard it. ”
Li Tian shot too fast just now, and the two guys hadn't figured out what was going on, so they looked a little sluggish. was kicked by Li Tian before he reacted.
"Little... Small... The villain's name is Zhang Bao, his name is Zhao Peng, and we are the descendants of Shilin Gongzi. Zhang Bao reacted quickly, immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Li Tian, and answered the question seriously. "Please let the two of us go, we're just doing what we're told. ”
"Stone Forest. Li Lin read the name, looked at Zhang Bao and Zhao Peng with a sad expression, and spoke for a long time. "Oh my God, let them go. ”
"Father, this..."Li Tian looked at Li Lin puzzled, and let them go so cheaply. And who is the prince of Shilin, why did he poison them.
"Shi Lin is the third young master of the Shi family in Tianwu City, my old man, he had a good relationship back then, and now..."
Li Lin's voice carried a hint of sadness, Shi Lin had a good relationship with him back then, and was one of his few friends. Who knew that this would be the case when I learned the news of the other party today, how sad it was.
At the same time, before he set foot in Tianwu City, he encountered a plot, and he didn't know how many people were waiting for him in Tianwu City. Is it right or wrong to take Li Lin back, Li Lin was silent for a long time,
As soon as Li Tian heard the old man, he understood that it must have something to do with that incident back then. Although he didn't know about Shi Lin and Li Lin, he still let go of Zhang Bao and Zhao Peng and signaled them to get out. The two hurriedly stood up and ran out in a panic.
"Father, don't go up and have a look. ”
Li Tian was very puzzled, after many years, the strength of the stone forest did not know how strong it was. Let them go back, and Shi Lin may be killed immediately, and there will be no time to escape for their lives.
"It's okay, the stone forest was abolished twenty years ago, and it will not be able to cultivate for the rest of its life. Li Lin asked Li Tian to relax and stay out of the way. Li Tianyi heard that Shi Lin was a wasted person, although he was curious, he didn't ask. Maybe this can't be separated from his father, so Shi Lin hates his father so much that he doesn't hesitate to poison him.
"Sleep, my dear. ”
Li Lin pushed open the window and looked at the river for a long time without saying a word. Before he arrived in Tianwu City, he had already attracted a plot, and it seemed that those people were still jealous of him back then.
