On July 8th, the summer solstice.

On the mountain road outside Hangzhou, there are five horsemen and seven people walking leisurely, and some gossip resounded in the team from time to time, so it was not lively.

The young man in the short shirt at the head pointed to a few willow trees on both sides of the mountain road, and talked to the people behind him about the customs of this place.

In the meantime, when the group reached a pavilion, the young man said that he would rest for a while, and the group stopped.

He stopped alone outside the pavilion for a long time...

This pavilion is where the old crook first met.

I don't know if he is alone in the villa now, but he will be very busy?

No, what do you want him to do?

The short-shirted boy shook his head, reasserting his thoughts.

These days, passing through various towns and villages, I found that there was indeed a situation mentioned by the Master of Righteousness.

Those bandits who had been dormant in the mountains and forests began to move, but the Jianghu sect that was supposed to deter one side did not have the slightest news out.

It's like everyone has reached a consensus very tacitly, waiting for the arrival of this world and people's hearts.

Thinking of this, Lin Manliu turned his head to look in the direction where Hangzhou City was located.

At this moment, he desperately wanted to know what had happened.

If Yijian Villa was indeed affected by those gossips and had to be imprisoned in Hangzhou, what explanation would those Jianghu sects that besieged but did not attack?

At this moment, Lang Fengyan walked out of the pavilion.

She walked to Lin Manliu's side and asked aloud, "Will you go directly to the city later?" ”

The short-shirted young man responded: "There is a house outside Hangzhou, let's go there first." ”

The black-robed woman hummed and walked towards her horse, waiting for everyone to leave.

After all, for Lang Fengyan, as long as she sent Lin Manliu and the others into Hangzhou City safely, Qiao Kesi's entrustment would be over.

What happens in the future has nothing to do with her.

The battle between the rivers and lakes here is not very interesting to her.

After resting for about half a pillar of incense, Lin Manliu proposed to everyone to continue their journey and go to the meeting place arranged by Yijian Villa outside the city first.

As long as you look at the situation of that mansion, you can probably judge the situation of Yijian Villa at this moment.

If there are disciples of Yijian Villa left, then the impact of everything in the city will not be great.

If there are no disciples on duty, or if it has been conquered by gangsters, then the situation in the city is very bad.

Under the leadership of the short-shirted boy, after everyone walked out of the mountains and forests, the west gate of Hangzhou City came into view, but soon continued to follow Lin Manliu's steps and walked towards a hidden house.

The vendors and people they encountered along the way did not behave abnormally, and until they approached the house, they did not encounter anything suspicious.

Lin Manliu looked at the closed courtyard door, first turned over and dismounted, and then glanced at the people behind him, and then walked to the main gate of the house.

The young man in the short shirt held the mountain field on his waist with one hand, and knocked softly above the courtyard door with the other.

Knock - knock - two sounds, one long and one short.

After the knock on the door, there was no timely response, Lin Manliu waited for a moment, and was about to break down the door when the courtyard door quietly opened.

With a squeak, Lin Manliu fixed his eyes on the gap in the courtyard door that was gradually opening.

The mountain in the hands of the young man is already out of the sheath, ready to meet the enemy at any time!

The person who opened the door seemed to be one step ahead of Lin Manliu, and she spoke first.

"Full six, full six, tease you, how can you take it seriously!"

Senior Sister Ji Ting?!

Lin Manliu hurriedly put his sword back into its sheath and saluted Ji Ting.

"Man Liu has seen Senior Sister Ji!"

Ji Ting opened the courtyard door, first pressed the young man's hand forward, and then looked at the person behind him.

"Ji Ting thanked you in advance! Traveling together, the full six roads must have caused you a lot of trouble! ”

Lin Manliu raised his hand and scratched his head, took a step back, and stood behind Ji Ting.

Lang Fengyan didn't say anything, just raised his hand and hugged his fist.

Shen Duchao returned the salute and smiled at Ji Ting.

She opened her mouth and said: "On the way to this trip, it was Lin Shaoxia who helped a lot, Miss Ji can rest assured!" ”

Fu You nodded beside him, and gave Lin Manliu a thumbs up by the way.

Ji Ting looked at their words and muttered, "Not bad, not bad..."

Xingyi and Xingji, the two wandering monks, did not say anything, but when Ji Ting looked at the two of them, both of them folded their hands and bowed.

In the end, only Jiang Yanlin was left, Ji Ting looked at him a little familiar, and turned his head to ask about Lin Manliu.

"Has this person been to the villa before?"

Jiang Yanlin heard someone mention himself, and unconsciously shrank back, and the whole person looked very nervous.

The young man in the short shirt nodded and said: "When Yan Lin opened the village, he came to welcome the village with his escort. ”

Ji Ting nodded, and then walked towards the mansion, Lin Manliu greeted the person behind him, and also walked in.

From beginning to end, she never asked why Lin Manliu came back suddenly, and the origin of the people behind him.

At this time, there were three or four disciples of Yijian Villa in the mansion, and they all knew the short-shirted boy.

"Senior Brother Lin, you're back!"

"Where has Senior Brother Lin gone these days?"

"Have you stopped by to go home this time, Senior Brother Lin will be busy with you later!"

The greetings from the brothers in the villa always warmed Lin Manliu's heart.

In a few words, the short-shirted young man told these brothers about the past along the way.

Of course, he will only pick some interesting things to say, and he will not say anything about Jiang Yanlin's identity and the dangers encountered on the road.

When everyone marched into the courtyard, the young man in the short shirt arranged the salutes and utensils of the people in a familiar way, and finally everyone entered the main house and sat around a table.

Ji Ting also explained the situation to the other disciples in the courtyard, and then closed the door.

Lin Manliu was the first to speak: "Old liar... How is he doing? ”

Ji Ting said: "Man Liu doesn't need to worry, he and Mr. Qinglan have been busy solving the things around them these days, and they have been staying in the village. ”

"Those Jianghu sects who rushed to Hangzhou to find the news?"

"It seems that Man Six has already learned something on the way back..."

"Well, at first, I thought it was like Xunhanshan before, but now that so much time has passed, I feel that something is wrong."

Seeing Lin Manliu frowning, Ji Ting smiled.

She opened her mouth and said: "Man Liu, you really don't have to worry about this, the solution should have been decided, but it depends on whether people accept it or not?" ”

Ji Ting's words, not only the short-shirted young man was a little confused, but the rest of the people who were listening were also a little puzzled.

See if others accept it... What is this Sword Villa planning?

Lang Fengyan raised her eyes to look at Ji Ting, who also noticed the gaze of the black-robed woman, and the two glanced at each other.

Ji Ting said loudly: "Since you have a lot of doubts in your hearts, you can follow me into the village later!" ”

Lin Manliu said: "You can rest assured, the situation in Hangzhou City must be controllable at this time!" ”

Xingyi stood up and looked at the young man in the short shirt.

The little monk was the first to walk out of the crowd and finally stood at the door of the house.

"The little monk can trust Lord Lin!"

Seeing this, Xingji also stood up, and walked behind Xingyi in a few steps.

"Trust Lord Lin!"

Shen Duchao and Fu You also nodded at the short-shirted boy, although Jiang Yanlin didn't say anything, but he stood directly beside Lin Manliu to express his attitude.

Ji Ting took this scene into his eyes, and when he looked at the short-shirted boy again, he couldn't help but recall the past when he first met Lu Fengbai.

At that time, Lu Fengbai was also like Lin Manliu now.

Among the disciples of Yangfeng Valley, he would always "shine" unconsciously.

Such a bright moon hangs above the sky, and naturally there will be stars chasing and following.

At that time, Lu Fengbai was like this, and now Lin Manliu will definitely be like this.

......

An hour later, under the leadership of Ji Ting, Lin Manliu and the others entered Hangzhou City.

Since entering the city, they have been walking along the secluded alleys, and several times they have crossed the streets without encountering any people.

Lang Fengyan didn't feel strange about such a move to avoid pedestrians, but instead had some approving looks on his face.

To be able to understand all the houses and alleys in the entire city of Hangzhou, should they praise the tight layout of this Yijian Villa, or praise the people who led them forward.

The black-robed woman gradually became interested in Yijian Villa, and the previous prediction in her heart also dissipated.

At first, she only thought that it had only been more than a year since the village was established, and at most, it was just that when the evil sect appeared, it set off some storms on the rivers and lakes.

Now, it seems that it is definitely not that simple.

It's kind of interesting...

Soon, Lin Manliu and the others appeared at the side door of Yijian Villa, Ji Ting knocked on the courtyard door, and a disciple of Yijian Villa went out to answer.

Looking at the short-shirted young man behind Ji Ting, the disciple who opened the door first had a look of surprise on his face, and then turned into a gloating expression.

These words made Lin Manliu feel strange, but they were connected to the greeting he had heard at the mansion earlier. The boy in the short shirt also tasted some of the meaning.

The old liar must have been stirring up something bad, and now that he's back, he's going to help him do it.

Lin Manliu sighed and looked at Ji Ting beside him.

"Senior Sister Ji don't hide it, but if you have any errands, just hand it over to Man Liu now..."

Hearing this, Ji Ting's face became more smiling, and he waved his hand at the short-shirted boy.

She laughed and said: "Man Liu will go directly to the main hall, and the rest of the distinguished guests will go to the side courtyard with me to rest first!" ”

Lin Manliu replied helplessly: "Manliu went first..."

Jiang Yanlin hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of the short-shirted boy, and Lin Manliu looked back at him.

"Brother Liu..."

"Yan Lin will wait in the side courtyard for a while, wait for me to come!"

This move will naturally not be strange to the people who are traveling with him, but Ji Ting has seen such a situation for the first time.

She looked at Jiang Yanlin for no reason, and stayed on him for a little longer.
