Lin Manliu saw that the people in black were scattered, and after looking around to make sure that there were no traces of those black-clothed people around, he turned to look at Jiang Yanlin, who was shouting for himself.

"Didn't Jiang Gongzi leave yesterday, why is he still in Hangzhou now, who are those black-clothed people just now?" The young man in the short shirt asked the young master of the Jiang family in front of him, as if he was still a little anxious, after all, he was still planning to set off to chase the moon girl.

"It took some time to buy the road yesterday, and I only got out of the city today, and when I got here just now, some black-clothed people suddenly rushed out and blocked my way, if it weren't for Brother Liu's timely help, I'm afraid I would be in a different place today," Jiang Yanlin said with a grateful face.

At this moment, Jiang Yanlin's whole face seemed to have become extremely frightened, and he was about to open his mouth wide and shout, when Lin Manliu immediately followed his line of sight and looked behind him.

It was the figure of a strange man holding a bamboo umbrella in his right hand, the umbrella surface was pressed very low, and his face could not be seen at all, only he could see an extremely small silver needle twisted between the fingers of his suspended left hand, and he didn't notice any signs of this person's existence around him just now, and when Lin Manliu wanted to dodge, his body was suddenly bumped by someone.

It was Jiang Yanlin, he knocked the short-shirted young man in front of him to the ground, and he immediately spread it down, "whoosh-", the silver needle ejected out of the hand of the man holding the umbrella at the same time as the two fell to the ground, and it passed through Jiang Yanlin's hair crown very coincidentally, directly piercing his hair crown and the bun tied with hosta inside.

In an instant, the hair of the whole person was scattered, and he fell to the ground in great embarrassment, and Lin Manliu under him hurriedly got up to prepare for the second attack of the umbrella man, and just got up with his sword and looked ahead, only to find that there was no one in front of him, only scattered bamboo leaves floating in the air.

If it weren't for the young master of the Jiang family, who was still crawling on the ground beside him, hurriedly pushed himself to the ground, maybe the silver needle would have passed directly through the back of his head and killed him on the spot.

Jiang Yanlin brushed his scattered hair and got up, stood on the side of the young man in a short shirt and said in a very frightened voice: "Brother Liu scared me to death, I thought I was going to be separated from my mother and relatives at home", and only after he finished speaking, he saw that fine beads of sweat had begun to ooze from his forehead.

"It's okay, that person immediately retreated after a blow..."Lin Manliu pondered for a moment and said, thinking that the person himself couldn't detect his figure and evade his speed of attack, why did he still retreat and the actions of those black-clothed people just now were too strange.

Jiang Yanlin, who jumped out of the car, was only symbolically kicked back to the carriage by them, but he had the opposite attitude towards the escort guards, killing as much as possible.

After a period of time, Lin Manliu was carefully looking around to see if there were still those people's accomplices lurking in the dark, planning to leave after a while while while guarding him, Jiang Yanlin was talking about some trivial things beside him, and the young man in the short shirt continued to pay attention to the movements around him with a simple response.

After the guards next to the carriage disposed of the corpse and the scattered carriage belongings around them, they walked to the two of them and asked Jiang Yanlin what he meant, this young master of the Jiang family saw that someone was disturbing his conversation with Brother Liu, and he looked a little annoyed and reprimanded them for cleaning up quickly and continuing to hurry, so he turned his head and accompanied the smiling face to Brother Liu beside him to ask for warmth.

When talking about his intention to return to Yuezhou, Jiang Yanlin suddenly stopped what he was about to say, just waved his hand and did not continue.

When the short-shirted young man saw the opportunity, he said: "Yes, I still want to thank Brother Jiang for his help, I was almost injured by that mysterious gangster, I still have some important things to prepare to leave first, Jiang Gongzi saw that the carriage was packed and then set off quickly away from this place of right and wrong, and you need to be careful on the way to Yuezhou."

Jiang Yanlin suddenly said with a righteous face: "Brother Liu, slow down, I know that I can't delay Brother Liu's important affairs, but today I have to share the hardships with Brother Liu, and I dare to travel the world with Brother Liu."

This question is really embarrassing for Lin Manliu, but I think that I have a relationship with this Jiang Yanlin, he can be regarded as sincere to protect each other just now, except for the moon girl and the old liar in the yellow shirt along the way, this person may also treat himself sincerely.

He could only accept the request of the son surnamed Jiang in front of him, and he arched his hand and said: "Very good, but I am just an idler in the mountains and wilderness, and I hope that Brother Jiang will not regret my actions today..."

Jiang Yanlin didn't wait for Lin Manliu to finish speaking, he directly grabbed the young man's hands and said: "Today is in a hurry, Brother Liu has something important to do, and Yanlin will return to Yuezhou's house sooner, so we will first high-five and swear, from now on, you will be my brother and I will tie this Jinlan to Zhenhe Mountain."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and pushed it towards Lin Manliu, and the young man in the short shirt also raised his right hand in a good way, and the two of them high-fived as an oath, and when they looked at Jiang Yan, they saw that his eyes seemed to be shining, which was an affirmation of this somewhat hasty oath, as well as his own dedication to this affection.

Seeing this, the short-shirted young man's heart also warmed slightly, and it seemed that from today onwards, he had inexplicably another friend, a friend who wanted to protect himself.

"I don't know how old Brother Liu is, but I only think that Brother Liu's young genius is better than me, that is, Brother Liu is the greatest, and I, Jiang Yan, are second," Brother Jiang said loudly on the side.

"Year sixteen, by the way, in fact, I..." Lin Manliu pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered what Yue Hanzhi said to him yesterday, so he answered this question affirmatively, next year's birthday girl has already passed for herself, and she will be seventeen in February next year.

"Isn't this a coincidence, then I'm the same age as Brother Liu, just call me Yan Lin or Ah Lin, my mother often calls me Ah Lin" Jiang Yanlin was a little happy when he heard this, and interrupted before Lin Manliu finished speaking.

"Hmm... Then Yanlin, you should hurry up and prepare to return to Yuezhou, I will leave in a while" The short-shirted young man gave up the opportunity to explain his name, patted Gongzi's shoulder and said.

"Listen to Brother Liu, I will set off immediately, when he meets in the future, I will definitely share all my gains with Brother Liu, and you and I will appreciate the glory and wealth!" Jiang Yanlin said with a resolute look in his eyes.

"Certainly" In the end, the two said goodbye to each other, and Lin Manliu sent the carriage away and went to lead his horse to continue the journey.

......

In an inconspicuous stream deep in the bamboo forest, there were more than a dozen people dressed in black, all kneeling around the stream, and they saw that in the center of their clustering was a man with an umbrella, and his face could not be seen.

A man in black at the front clenched his fists and said: "This siege is not successful, where should we do it next, please ask the adults for advice."

"You seem to be questioning my decision?" The man with the umbrella asked rhetorically.

"The subordinates don't dare, but the person who appeared out of thin air should have a living mouth, I really don't understand" The man in black who asked asked asked again, but now his hands have begun to tremble slightly.

"I've made a decision on the deployment after that, and I'll continue to tell you how to behave, remember to understand that the sharpest blade of the empire will always be us," the umbrella man said in a somewhat aggravated tone.

"Yes—" This time the half-kneeling men in black said in unison.

Then the man holding the umbrella made a random gesture, and all the men in black dispersed in their respective directions in an orderly manner again.
