At this time, even if it was close to noon in Lotus Bay, there was not a single villager going out at all.

The entire village was silent except for a remote house. Whoever it is, you can faintly hear the crying coming from there... Lin Manliu's steps leading the horses were a little heavy, and those mournful cries already had an answer in the young man's heart.

He walked slowly on the ridge, and it didn't take long for him to return to the post station. The young man in the short shirt didn't know whether to go directly to the house, or to visit the innkeeper first.

Just as he hesitated, the door of the half-hidden house in front of the post station suddenly opened, and Shopkeeper Yang walked out of it.

From the first time he saw Lin Manliu, Shopkeeper Yang's eyes were locked, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time gradually revealed between his eyebrows.

"Follow me!" The short-shirted boy nodded in response, and then led the horse behind Shopkeeper Yang and walked directly towards the backyard of the post station.

Shopkeeper Yang opened the door and stood alone under the stables in the backyard. He clenched an idle wooden stick in his hand, looked at Lin Manliu and said coldly: "Those people are looking for you..." Seeing that the short-shirted young man was silent, Shopkeeper Yang held the wooden stick in his hand tighter.

He said in a deep voice again: "Uncle Qing came here and saved us... You came here, but you killed Dong Lao Er! Lin Manliu tilted his head slightly, looking at the house where the cry was coming from before.

The short-shirted young man said in a trembling voice: "I killed Brother Dong... I'm sorry..."As soon as the words fell, a strong wind blew towards the boy's shoulder!

Shopkeeper Yang held a wooden stick and swung it directly, not that Lin Manliu didn't notice it, but that he had no intention of dodging at the moment.

In this way, he let the wooden stick in his hand swing on his shoulder...

"You still have the fucking face to shout Brother Dong!" Shopkeeper Yang was annoyed and angry, and the wooden stick in his hand was lifted again, and another stick was handed out!

This time it struck the boy on the other shoulder, and the stick shattered at the point where it swung.

Scattered sawdust swept across Lin Manliu's face, and some even scraped blood marks on his face, but he still didn't react.

"You broom star! Harmful stuff... I'm going to kill you little bastard today! Lin Manliu's shoulders sank, and his whole body almost didn't stand firm, but the young man gritted his teeth and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then stood up again.

Shopkeeper Yang looked at the short-shirted young man's lips moving slightly, as if he wanted to continue to apologize, and the anger in his heart rose again! He picked up a piece of wooden stick again, and didn't care whether the boy dodged or not, and handed the stick out again in his hand.

This time, as before, the wooden stick was instantly broken by him, looking at Lin Manliu, who was a little embarrassed in front of him, Shopkeeper Yang was still puzzled in his heart.

"Relying on my good physique, I thought I couldn't beat you, didn't you..."

"Dong Lao Er's idiot, don't you want to rely on yourself to resist the beating, and you can survive that beating..."

"But he can't stand it!" While the shopkeeper Yang roared, he threw the wooden stick in his hand to the ground, and immediately handed out his hands and grabbed the young man's neckline.

The shopkeeper, who usually looks like a good gentleman, is staring at the young man in front of him viciously at the moment. The more Lin Manliu wanted to apologize, the anger in his heart became thicker.

The young man in the short shirt looked at the shopkeeper Yang in front of him, and said what he thought in his heart.

"I want to see Dong again...", but before the young man's words were finished, he was immediately thrown to the ground by Shopkeeper Yang, and then began to scold.

"You don't deserve it!! What kind of face do you have to meet Dong Lao'er... What kind of face do you have to meet his father and mother who have been sick in bed for a long time... What kind of face do you have to call him Brother Dong..."Lin Manliu got up from the ground, and in the face of Shopkeeper Yang's question, the young man couldn't make any reply.

Indeed, he is not worthy. The boy in the shirt tilted his head, still looking at the house. He whimpered: "I shouldn't have just walked away..."Shopkeeper Yang heard this, but laughed instead of being angry.

"Lin Manliu, what's the use of you staying? It's for him to send the second elder to the end... Or do you think that if you stay, you will feel better in your heart and not blame yourself too much? ”

"Lin Manliu, do you know that if those people come back and see you... Dong Lao Er, he died in vain? ”

"Lin Manliu, do you think that as long as you can do something in the future, you will be able to make yourself feel at ease?" Shopkeeper Yang asked three questions in a row, and every sentence filled the young man's heart.

As these three questions said, Lin Manliu returned to Lotus Bay in order to understand the situation and then use his own methods to solve the problem.

And the source of all these motives is still those four words

"Peace of mind". At this moment, the short-shirted boy realized that the original intention of his action was for his own peace of mind, not for Dong Laoer, who was already dead.

When he learned the news, he already understood Dong Laoer's thoughts. It's to buy him time and hide his whereabouts for him... But even so, he had to take an unforeseen risk and return to Lotus Bay again.

For the sake of his own peace of mind, he left all Dong Laoer's expectations behind. Lin Manliu untied the water bladder on his waist, looked at the house, and slowly sprinkled the water in the water bladder on the muddy floor in the backyard.

Shopkeeper Yang's sarcastic words sounded again: "Pretending... What a hypocrisy! I'm really disappointed for Uncle Qing, he just mistook you little bastard! When the short-shirted young man looked at the shopkeeper Yang again, his face was particularly heavy, as if the previous ridicule had not been heard at all.

Lin Manliu first bowed, and then said loudly: "Can I ask Shopkeeper Yang for advice... The appearance and whereabouts of those people..."Shopkeeper Yang spat on the ground and continued: "You still want to kill the officers and soldiers of Yanyang?" I really thought that after some kung fu, I felt that I was the one who crossed the river? The short-shirted young man said in a deep voice: "Murder should pay for life, the kid will definitely pay it back in the future..."

"Those people shouldn't be the soldiers stationed in Jiannan, judging by the appearance of their armor, they look similar to the ones who went south from Rongcheng some time ago..."

"The kid thanked Shopkeeper Yang first..."

"How do you want to do it... Whatever you want! If you get caught by them, or kill them on the spot... Just go down to make amends to Dong Laoer! ”

"Boy first..."

"You little bastard, don't get out of here! Get out of here! Lin Manliu's words were interrupted by the shopkeeper Yang again, and in the face of the roar of the shopkeeper of the inn, the young man in the short shirt had to lead the horse out of the backyard.

After losing sight of the young man, Shopkeeper Yang began to gasp for breath. He shook his head to sober himself up a bit, and then straightened up again, looking at the house as Lin Man had looked at the house.

"You kid, you're a little lucky, and your popularity is okay..."

"Let his mother's son give you this kid, and you have to find a hard-working and long-term worker again..."

"If the post station is dirty on the first seven days, don't blame Lao Tzu for going to your grave to scold your mother!" ...... The short-shirted young man who led the horse out of Lotus Bay did not look behind him again, nor did he immediately turn over and get on the horse without the slightest hesitation.

The pain on Lin Manliu's shoulders on both sides looked very oozing, but there was no pain that lasted too long, let alone the torture that hurt the muscles and bones.

In this way, it could not affect the speed of his imperial horse, and he soon returned to the deep mountains where Jiang Yanlin was hidden.

Jiang Yanlin, who was hiding in the cave, naturally heard the movement, raised his head and looked outside the entrance of the cave.

At this glance, I saw a young man in a short shirt who looked embarrassed. Seeing the redness and blood oozing on his shoulders, Jiang Yanlin hurriedly greeted him.

"Brother Liu! But on the way, I met those officers and soldiers... It's better..."Lin Manliu snorted, grabbed Jiang Yanlin's arm and walked towards the cave.

It was not until the two of them walked to the dim place in the cave that only a faint light remained in the direction of the cave entrance, and the young man in the short shirt stopped.

Jiang Yanlin timidly asked, "What's wrong with Brother Liu?" Lin Manliu looked at him solemnly, and the latter looked at the tiny blood marks on the young man's face because of the sawdust.

At this time, under the faint light, it actually looked a little scary. Jiang Yanlin hurriedly spoke: "Didn't Brother Liu also warn that person before, it was because he didn't listen to persuasion that he would do this, and it has nothing to do with us..."

"Yanlin, I don't mean to blame you, I just hope you will explain the ins and outs of the future!" Jiang Yanlin subconsciously wanted to run towards the entrance of the cave, but at this moment, his hand was clamped by Lin Manliu.

He began to look a little flustered and overwhelmed. Jiang Yan said: "Brother Liu said that he wouldn't leave me, right... Brother Liu...

Lin Manliu said loudly: "I will send you back to Jiangnan safely, but in order for us to be able to walk safely in the future, you must tell me the truth..."

In the latter, he suddenly collapsed to the ground, and his whole body gradually began to sob. From his mouth, he began to talk about the last time outside the bamboo forest in the north of Hangzhou, after separating from Lin Manliu.

At that time, Jiang Yanlin, although under Lin Manliu's hands, got rid of the sudden attack of the evil. But he already knew in his heart that the road ahead would be very dangerous.

With the help of Yuezhou's own family, Jiang Yanlin re-expanded the escort team, and then began to travel to Xijing.

At first, no one told him why he went to Xijing... In his opinion, most of the families wanted him to learn from those scholars, so he first went to the teachings of those masters in Xijingli, and then began to study his schoolwork and gain fame.

That's why when he parted with Lin Manliu, he boasted about Haikou and said that he would share the glory and wealth with him in the future.

But it wasn't until he entered Xijing and entered the majestic imperial city that he gradually understood the purpose of his trip.

The Yanyang Dynasty is now both above the court and in the eyes of the people, all sighing at the glorious scene of the two saints coming to the court.

The emperor is benevolent and sage, and the queen is virtuous and intelligent. Under the co-rule of the two saints, it has created a grand scene of national peace and peace in the world.

But in such a prosperous Yanyang Dynasty, some people began to criticize the queen of the world. It is said that although the current queen and the emperor can be called the two saints, there are still flaws to investigate, that is, since she entered the palace, no heirs have been born.

What's more, he dared to openly discuss the affairs of the harem above the previous dynasty! It is said that since the queen took charge of the harem, all the young princes have died early, and they may become a disaster.

Naturally, people who speak these words will not end well, but if you want to block the mouths of this leisurely crowd, there must be a way to crack it.

So as a descendant of the Jiang family in Yuezhou, it was time for him Jiang Yan to come. Her biological mother was the eldest princess of Yanyang in the past, and the younger sister of the current emperor.

Therefore, it is necessary to bring it into the imperial city and pass it on to the current queen. Speaking of this, Jiang Yanlin, who was reminiscing about the past, began to look a little nervous, and his hands and feet began to have nowhere to put them.

Because after he knew this, he saw with his own eyes the queen who was born with the appearance of a bodhisattva. His nightmare began...
