The main entrance of the Lin family.

In the morning light, more than a dozen black-brown horses stood in place shaking their heads and tails, snorting one after another, and white mist erupted from their nostrils. There was a crowd of people around the strong horse, but only the sound of hurried footsteps came out, and no noise could be heard, it was the disciples of the Lin family's miscellaneous service institute who were preparing the harness for the healthy horse to ride.

Lu Chen approached, swept his gaze, and saw a familiar figure in the crowd, took a few steps forward, and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

Familiar with Qianying, it is Lin Jinxi. Hearing this, Lin Jinxi turned his head, and when he saw that the person standing behind him was Lu Chen, a touch of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"Lin Qiuxue asked me to come. Lu Chen replied.

Lin Jinxi raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I almost forgot that you are now the second lady's entourage." ”

Lu Chen nodded, glanced at the Jianma behind Lin Jinxi, and motioned for Lin Jinxi to answer the question he had just asked.

"The formal disciples of the Lin family have to go to the Lin family's medicine mountain regularly and in batches to take care of the medicinal materials cultivated on the medicine mountain, the second miss must be in this list of official disciples who go to the medicine mountain, you are now the second miss's entourage, she brought you, this is normal. These horses are for you. There is still a long way to go from Qinghe City to Yaoshan, and it takes the foot strength of a healthy horse. Lin Jinxi explained.

After a while, Lin Jinxi suddenly thought of something, Dai Mei frowned slightly, and whispered: "I heard others say that Ge Qingge, who is in charge of managing the Lin family's medicine mountain, is taciturn and withdrawn. Even if he punished the formal disciples of the Lin family, he would not be merciful at all. If you go to Yaoshan, you will definitely run into this Ge worship, so be careful not to provoke him at that time. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded slightly, and helped Lin Jinxi prepare the harness for riding. While the two were talking, more than a dozen disciples of the Lin family's Western Courtyard came from the main gate one after another, talking and laughing.

The person at the head was a male disciple of the Lin family, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked quite majestic from a distance. The square-faced man straightened his waist, stood on the high steps of the main entrance, coughed, and waited until everyone behind him completely stopped before he shouted, "Where is Lu Chen, a miscellaneous disciple of the Southern Academy?"

"Here. Lu Chen turned around and hugged his fists.

The square-faced man glanced at Lu Chen and said lightly: "Second Miss can't go to Yaoshan today if she has something to do, you replace Second Miss, go with us, and go to the Lin Family's Yaoshan to take care of the medicinal materials on Yaoshan." ”

"Yes. Lu Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

"Get on the horse. The square-faced man said, and then walked down the steps with everyone behind him, each looking for a healthy horse of his choice to mount.

"Brother Lu, meet again. Lin Shu walked past Lu Chen and patted Lu Chen on the shoulder.

When the formal disciples of the Lin family each rode a healthy horse, Lu Chen's face turned a little colder.

The square-faced man didn't even look behind him, held the horsewhip in his hand, and shouted in high spirits: "Go." ”

"Wait!"

When the horse's hooves are raised, the people will gallop on their horses. Suddenly, a voice came, forcing the people to pull back the reins, turn the horse's head, and restrain the castration.

The horses stood firm, and everyone sought prestige. Then, some people obviously showed a playful smile on their faces, while some people held an attitude of watching the show without caring about themselves. Among them, only Lin Shu frowned, and his face was not very good-looking.

Among the miscellaneous disciples who had not yet evacuated, Lin Jinxi looked at the figure of the young man surrounded by more than a dozen healthy horses, and a trace of worry appeared in his beautiful eyes.

The square-faced man sat on the back of the horse, overlooking Lu Chen, the horsewhip in his hand pointed forward, and asked, "What's the matter?

"Didn't you find out that everyone went to the Medicine Mountain together, but I didn't have any horses to ride?" Lu Chen's eyes lowered and he said in a deep voice.

The square-faced man showed a sneer on his face and said, "Do you need me to remind you of your identity?" The implication was that Lu Chen was just a miscellaneous disciple of the Lin family, and he was not qualified to have a healthy horse as a mount at all.

"Today I am going to Yaoshan instead of Second Miss. Lu Chen said in a deep voice, "May I ask my lord, does the second lady go to the medicine mountain on foot every time?"

The square-faced man snorted coldly, and said prevaricatingly: "Second Miss is Second Miss, you are you." Whether you go to Yaoshan on foot or on horseback today, this matter is not up to me. If you feel unconvinced, just go to the second lady and ask for a healthy horse, we don't have time to complain with you here. ”

"Wait!" Lin Shu leaned down and dismounted, holding the whip in one hand and the reins of the horse in the other, leading the horse to Lu Chen's side, then looked at the square-faced man and said: "Lin Fang, you are responsible for leading the team to Yaoshan, the list of personnel for this trip, and the arrangement of the ride are all in your charge, I can't look at it if you say this." ”

It turned out that the disciple of the Lin family headed by him was called Lin Fang, and Lu Chen glanced at this person.

Hearing this, Lin Fang's face changed, and the horse whip pointed at Lin Shu and scolded: "Lin Shu, I advise you not to meddle with rats." ”

"Hehe, I don't care if you want to be a mouse. Lin Shu's mouth was vicious, and he scolded Lin Fang for being a mouse.

"You ride my horse. Lin Shu stuffed the reins and whip in his hand into Lu Chen's hand, and without waiting for Lu Chen's reaction, he immediately turned his head to look at the miscellaneous servants who had not yet evacuated, looked at one of the miscellaneous servants, and said, "Don't look at it, help me lead another horse." ”

The miscellaneous servant who was looked at by Lin Shu was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he was going to lead another healthy horse. At this moment, a discordant voice sounded, causing the miscellaneous disciples to stop their departing footsteps. The handyman froze in place, not to lead the horse at this moment, not to lead the horse, his face was panicked, and his body trembled slightly.

"Hehe~~~ I Lin Fang want to take a look, who dares to move today!"

Lin Fang sat on the back of the horse, and the horsewhip in his hand swept around with the gaze from below. When he saw the handyman who was called by Lin Shu, he didn't dare to move, a smug smile appeared on his face, his chin was raised high, like a general who had won a battle, and his eyes looked at Lin Shu defiantly.

The two disciples of the Lin family competed with each other, and many of the miscellaneous servants all lowered their heads and remained silent, one by one at this moment, for fear of getting into trouble.

Seeing this, Lin Shu's face was ugly for a while. However, a good heart will not allow you to spill the anger in your heart on an innocent handyman. Lin Shu stared at Lin Fang on horseback and shouted angrily, "Don't deceive people too much. ”

"Hehe~~~ Did I deceive you too much, why don't I know? In my opinion, you have to bring humiliation on yourself. Lin Fang shrugged his shoulders and said with a nonchalant smile.

"Don't be complacent, no one will lead you, I will lead it myself. Lin Shu gritted his teeth and said.

"Are you going to lead the horses? Do you know where the stables are? Do you know where the harness is?" Lin Fang asked one after another, and then let out a burst of laughter.

"I'll help you lead the horses. At this moment, a voice came out, which made Lin Fang's laughter stop abruptly, and the smile was fixed on his face.

Suddenly turning his head, Lin Fang's face turned blue and white for a while, looked at Lin Jinxi, and scolded angrily: "Little bastard, you also have to be nosy, right?"

As soon as these words came out, a cold glint flashed in Lu Chen's eyes that had been lowered.

Lin Jinxi ignored Lin Fang's angry scolding, and turned around to lead the horse for Lu Chen and Lin Shu. Seeing this, Lin Fang's anger suddenly surged three feet high. Immediately, the palm of his hand slapped the horse's back, and he flew down, like an eagle with wings spread and landed behind Lin Jinxi. In the process of falling, the whip in Lin Fang's hand was already raised high, and it was about to be whipped heavily on Lin Jinxi's thin shoulder. If this whip is implemented, Lin Jinxi's shoulders will have to be whipped by the horse whip.

"Lin Fang, you ......" Lin Shu's face changed sharply, he shouted angrily, and was about to make a move, but suddenly there was a flicker in front of him, and a figure had already blocked behind Lin Jinxi one step ahead of him.

At the last moment, Lu Chen didn't think about it, and stepped on the ground with the soles of his feet, trampling the hard floor tiles out of cobweb-like fine cracks. It's just that at the moment, everyone is in turmoil, and everyone is not aware of this detail. Lu Chen's body moved like the wind, and he appeared between Lin Fang and Lin Jinxi in an instant, and then a hand seemed to reach out like lightning, and firmly grasped the horse whip that was about to fall in the palm of his hand.

"Go lead the horse. ”

Lin Jinxi was shocked, as if he was about to say something, but Lu Chen said in a deep voice without looking back. Lin Jinxi bit his lip, nodded slightly, and led the horse.

"If a miscellaneous disciple makes a mistake, the formal disciple can punish him. Lu Chen wanted to ask one thing, what mistake did Lin Jinxi make, and you have to punish her. Lu Chen grabbed the horsewhip and said in a deep voice.

Lin Fang pulled the horsewhip, and the horsewhip that was held by Lu Chen in his hand did not move at all, and the former couldn't help but flash a surprise in his heart. How dare you little handyman stand in the way of my horsewhip...... Lin Fang's heart was ruthless, and then the strength in his hand suddenly increased several times.

A cold wind blew in the early morning, and Lin Fang's face turned shocked. What's going on? The horsewhip that Lu Chen held in his hand was like welding, and it still didn't move.

"May I ask what mistake Lin Jinxi has made, and you want to punish her?" Lu Chen asked again, his voice was a little colder, and his eyes gradually raised, looking at Lin Fang in front of him.

Being stared at by this cold eye, Lin Fang actually felt chills all over his body, as if he was in an ice cellar. At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly let go of the horsewhip that he had been holding in his hand, but Lin Fang's side was still secretly exerting his strength, wanting to pull back the horsewhip. Caught off guard, the whole person suddenly staggered backwards, thanks to his own good strength, so that he would not fall on his back in front of everyone, and his feet were facing the sky.

Lin Fang was about to get angry when he came back to his senses, Lin Shu took a step forward, pointed at Lin Fang, and shouted angrily: "You have no reason to punish the miscellaneous disciples, make things bigger, and see who of us is afraid of whom." ”
