Chapter 287: Secret Conversation in the Tea Shed
"Alright, come on, what news do you have here that I want to know?"
In the tea shed, Lin Liang calmly looked at the lean man sitting opposite, and said casually.
The owner of the tea shed is a middle-aged woman, and at this time she came to Lin Liang with a pot of spiritual tea, poured a cup for Lin Liang and the lean man, and said with a smile: "It's really time for the two guests to come, this new spiritual tea arrived yesterday, and I, the proprietor, didn't have time to taste it!"
"Oh, that's really lucky!" Lin Liang smiled, immediately glanced at the somewhat deserted tea shed, and asked casually, "Why did the proprietress choose to open the tea shed here?
"It's not good, but there are rules in the city, and small business can only be done in this place. The proprietress sighed and said, "But it's okay, thanks to this little brother who often comes to take care of my business, my life is barely passable." ”
Saying that, the proprietress put the teapot on the table and said with a smile: "This pot of spiritual tea is placed here, please take care of yourself." ”
When he even packed up the tea tray and was about to walk into the tea shed, at this moment, a milky and immature voice suddenly came out of the tea shed.
"Mother, Bao'er is so hungry......"
Lin Liang turned his head to look, but saw a tiger-headed child who was cautiously poking his head out of the tea shed, looking at the proprietress pitifully with big eyes, and then turned his gaze to Lin Liang and the thin man sitting in the tea shed, looking at the two curiously.
"Bao'er, you go in first, my mother has guests here, and I'll make you your favorite tea crisp later, okay?"
The proprietress squatted down and stroked the child's head, coaxing gently.
"Good!"
It seemed that he thought of the deliciousness of the tea crisp, and the child was immediately happy, and immediately ran back to the house, while the proprietress stood up, sighed inexplicably, and then turned to Lin Liang and the thin man bowed slightly, and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm going to go out, I don't know if I can ask the two of you to help take a look at my child and this tea shed." ”
After speaking, it seemed that she was afraid that Lin Liang would not agree, and the proprietress waved her hand again and again: "Don't worry, you two, it won't be delayed for too long, this pot of spiritual tea should be considered as a gift from me to the two of you!"
"It's okay, Sanniang, just go, I'm here here, it'll be fine. Before Lin Liang could answer, the thin man took the first step to speak, and then glanced at Lin Liang.
"Oh, it's okay, boss, you can go, I'll talk to him for a while!"
Lin Liang naturally understood the meaning of the thin man, in fact, if the thin man didn't speak, Lin Liang would agree, but in this way, Lin Liang would do the thin man a favor, which made Lin Liang inadvertently become the active party.
Seeing that Lin Liang agreed, the proprietress showed a hint of a smile, and immediately nodded and walked towards the outside of the tea shed.
"Speaking of which, boss lady, what about this child's father?"
Looking at this somewhat simple house, as if thinking of something, Lin Liang asked curiously.
As soon as the words came out, the lean man's complexion changed instantly, and he gave Lin Liang a slap of the eye, and the steps of the proprietress who had just walked out of the tea shed were also stunned, and her body trembled unconsciously.
After a while, the proprietress stepped out of the tea shed, and at the same time a slightly cold voice came out: "He is dead, dead at the hands of the barbarians!"
Lin Liang was silent, bowed his head and said nothing, knowing that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, and at this time, the thin man finally stopped glancing at Lin Liang, drank all the spiritual tea in the cup, and said angrily to Lin Liang: "You shouldn't ask this question!"
"I know. Lin Liang said calmly, but the feeling in his heart was far from being as calm as it appeared on the surface.
The barbarians, and the barbarians, not my race, will have different hearts. Even if there is a truce between the human and barbarian races now, the pain brought by the barbarians to the human race will never be erased, and the hatred between the two has long been immortal.
Lin Liang didn't have a good impression of the barbarians at all, even if the barbarian who claimed to be the son of the barbarian high priest when he escaped from Stone Ghost Town was considered to have let him go, but it was just him, not to mention that in Lin Liang's memory, the reason why he became an orphan was after his parents went to the border between the barbarian and the barbarian.
"Now that you know why you're asking!"
Seeing Lin Liang's reaction, the lean man was even more angry, and immediately asked with an angry face, and at the same time poured himself another cup of spiritual tea, ready to drink another cup to calm his emotions.
"You like her. ”
Burst!
When the lean man who had just picked up the spiritual tea and drank half of it, he instantly spewed out a mouthful of spiritual tea when he heard this, and the next moment the whole person bent over and coughed continuously, obviously choking on the spiritual tea.
"Even if you don't know how to taste tea, you can make a show, drink so quickly, it's no wonder if you don't choke. ”
Lin Liang took care of himself and added a mouthful of spiritual tea to the cup, picked up the teacup and put it in front of his nose, inhaled it gently, and the tulip of the spiritual tea went straight into his heart, and he couldn't help but admire: "It's really good tea!"
Speaking of which, Lin Liang rushed out of Liyanglou to find the figure of the lean man, but the other party didn't leave at all, as if he knew that Lin Liang would chase him out, waiting for him at the door of Liyanglou.
Then when Lin Liang wanted to ask something, the thin man shook his head, indicating that it was inconvenient to talk here, so he followed the thin man to this tea shed.
"Lin Liang, you're enough! If you talk nonsense, I'll guarantee you won't get any news!"
The lean man coughed for a while before recovering, and looked at Lin Liang with an indifferent face with an unkind face.
"Isn't that so?"
Lin Liang tilted his head and said with some doubts: "Although the tea is good, there shouldn't be many people who come here to drink tea, plus the proprietress learned that you often come to take care of her business, and you just gave me two looks, you obviously care about her." ”
"In addition, the boss lady's man died at the hands of the barbarians, and it is indeed not easy for orphans and widows to live, and it would be great if there was a man to take care of it, so even if you really like her, I will not have any prejudice, not to mention that to me you are just passers-by. ”
"Okay, it is worthy of being one of the candidates for the next sect master of the Life and Destruction Sect, and it really has something unique!" After a moment of silence, the lean man suddenly laughed, his eyes full of eagerness.
"Wait, what did you just say?"
Hearing this, Lin Liang's face changed, and he hurriedly asked.
In fact, Lin Liang felt strange in his heart before, since he left the Cloud Dream Realm, no one recognized him all the way, although because of the incident in Shangyang City, Lin Liang became famous, but with the distance from Shangyang City to this Chaoyang City, many people have only heard the news, but the messenger in front of him recognized him, which can explain a lot of things.
"You don't know?"
The thin man looked at Lin Liang with a suspicious expression, and it wasn't until he saw that Lin Liang's eyes also revealed a blank look that he believed Lin Liang's reaction, and then sneered: "It turns out that you don't even know what happened." ”
"Nonsense. ”
Lin Liang rolled his eyes and said, "If I know, why did I come to you? don't talk about it, hurry up and tell me all the news related to me!"
"Hey!" When he heard this, the thin man was happy, and said, "Lin Liang, who is begging for whom now?
"Well, you do have a point. ”
Lin Liang nodded thoughtfully, then changed his words and said casually: "Actually, I've always been curious, you have made a lot of money as a messenger, since you like this boss lady, why don't you tell her directly?"
"Hey, hey, Lin Liang, you're enough!" the lean man's face became a little unnatural.
But Lin Liang didn't seem to hear the words of the thin man, and said to himself: "Then if you two are together......
"Stop!"
The thin man stared at Lin Liang solemnly and said, "Stop, don't talk about it, let's get down to business!"
"Good. ”
Lin Liang bowed, took another sip of the spiritual tea, and quietly waited for the lean man's information.
"I shouldn't have brought you here!" Looking at Lin Liang with a well-groomed face, the lean man regretted it incomparably, he had brought people over so many times before that he had been so unfavorable that he thought that this was a treasure land, but how could he not work when he met Lin Liang?
However, it was obviously not the first time that the lean man had encountered such a situation, and he quickly calmed down and asked Lin Liang, "What do you want to know?"
"What's going on with the promotion ceremony?" Lin Liang asked slowly, before the thin man appeared, Lin Liang heard this word constantly mentioned, but there was no detailed information, so this must be clarified.
"The promotion ceremony, as the name suggests, is a promotion ceremony, and it is only applicable to the sect. The lean man said seriously: "In other words, your Life and Destruction Sect is going to be promoted from a low-level sect to a medium-level sect this time. ”
Lin Liang was stunned, he couldn't imagine that he had only been away for more than a year, and the Life and Destruction Sect would be promoted from a low-level sect to a medium-level sect, but when he came back to his senses, Lin Liang noticed a trace of unusualness, because the thin man's tone was faintly sneering when he spoke!
"If it's a simple sect promotion ceremony, it's actually just a formality, as long as you say hello to the top forces in your area, and the other party sends someone to verify it, it's over, but if you want to destroy the sect, it's troublesome, because it's not in the sphere of influence of any top force at all!"
"This land in the Southern Regions was originally divided into three parts by the Great Yan Dynasty and the Southern Three Sects and the Barbarians, but as a result, the Life and Destruction Sect was just sandwiched between these three forces, not only because of the position of the Life and Destruction Sect, but also because it was once one of the top forces in the continent!"
