Chapter 161: The Ling brothers and sisters reunite
"Boss, a main room."
The innkeeper was in front of the counter, and while Lin Xi was talking to the shopkeeper, he took out a tael of silver and put it in front of the table.
The shopkeeper took the silver with a smile, quickly took out a key and handed it to Lin Xi: "Okay, go upstairs and turn right into the first room, please!" β
"Thank you." Lin Xi took the key, and Xi Jingyao's chatter next to him opened again: "Why do the five of us only open one room?" β
"What's wrong? You don't want to live in a piece? β
Xi Jingyao blushed and said, "I'm a girl, it's inconvenient to live with a man like you......"
Lin Xi pondered: "Didn't they live together on the ship?" I didn't see anything inconvenient about youβ"
Xi Jingyao chirped: "Isn't that to take care of you!" You unconscionable ......"
Lin Xi turned around and blushed a little embarrassedly: "Okay, okay...... I'm primarily worried about your safety. β
"Safe?"
Lin Xi sighed: "Think about it, if we live in two rooms, once something happens, I can't rush over as soon as possible." Wouldn't that be nice? It's a little crowded, but it's a lot safer, isn't it? β
Ling Yebai patted Xi Jingyao on the shoulder, "Okay, Sister Xi, if you feel that you are not used to living together, then open another room, and I will live with you!" β
Tang Ling interjected with a grin: "And me!" β
"Hmm......" Xi Jingyao was a little embarrassed: "Or... Forget it, what Lin Xi said makes sense, it's safer to stay together. β
After that, Xi Jingyao looked at Lin Xi with some embarrassment.
Lin Xi gestured in front of the two: "Then I... Thank you for your trust? β
Xi Jingyao's face flushed slightly, "That...... That's fine. β
Lin Xi sneered and slapped Xi Jingyao's head.
"Oops!"
Lin Xi glanced at his head: "Let's go in." β
Everyone else walked in, only Ling Yebai stared down blankly on the second floor.
"What are you thinking?" Lin Xi leaned against her side and asked.
"I just think about the old days when a dozen of us were crammed into a room...... I can't feel that lively feeling anymore......"
"Yes, they're all gone......" Lin Xi's voice choked, as long as he thought of them, he would be sad.
"They all died for me...... It's me who didn't protect them......"
Ling Yebai comforted: "Why don't you think differently, they are willing to die to protect you - isn't this a happy thing?" β
"No......" Lin Xi held back tears, "but I just hope they can live well......"
"But wouldn't they think the same way if you died?"
Ling Yebai put his hand on the back of Lin Xi's hand: "I'm thinking--if I can protect you like them, maybe, you won't be so sad-" As he spoke, Ling Yebai sobbed, but was held in Lin Xi's arms.
"Don't say it, Yebai...... The four of you are my relatives and lovers, and I don't want any of you to die...... I hope you live well......"
"With your words, I'm very happy......" Ling Yebai smiled and shed a tear.
"Okay," Lin Xi released Ling Yebai from his arms and said, "Okay, I'll go downstairs to buy some food, and I'll let the guy deliver it later......"
Ling Yebai took Lin Xi's hand, "Let's go down together." β
"Okay."
The two walked downstairs holding hands, and when Lin Xi was talking to the shopkeeper, Ling Yebai was bored, and looked around, but this look really made her see an extremely familiar thing-
White jacket!
Ling Yebai's heart tightened, he broke away from Lin Xi and quickly ran over.
There was no one in front of the table, but there was a white jacket on the chair, Ling Yebai was stunned, and suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"It's really ......" Ling Yebai looked at the corner of his clothes, glanced at the clothes in front of him again, and was shocked in his heart.
"Yebai, what's wrong?" Lin Xi noticed Ling Yebai's strange appearance and leaned over to ask.
"Look at this."
Lin Xi glanced at it and said in surprise: "Isn't this your clothes?" β
"I'm also strange, but I haven't worn my white jacket for a long timeβ" Ling Yebai was also puzzled.
And at this time it is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, how can anyone in Bianjing City wear a white jacket on the street?
"If you two take a fancy to my jacket, just take it."
A familiar voice came from behind him, Ling Yebai seemed to realize something, and turned around suddenly, "Second brother? β
The person behind him turned out to be Ling Yebai's second brother, Ling Luochen, who met in Suzhou!
"Little sister, Lin Xi?" Ling Luochen also looked very surprised, he didn't expect that their brother and sister would meet here in this way.
Ling Yebai excitedly took the hand of the second brother Ling Luochen, and the color of surprise overflowed: "Second brother? How did you get here? β
Ling Luochen pulled out his chair, "Sit down, sit down, I'll tell you slowly." β
Ling Yebai grabbed Ling Luochen, "Second brother, we have already settled here, or you can go up and talk to us!" β
Ling Luochen smiled: "Well, that's fine." β
Lin Xi also walked in the front and led Ling Luochen: "Let's go!" β
A few people in the room looked at the people who were led in by Lin Xi with a little alarm.
"Lin Xi, he is ......"
These people had never seen Ling Luochen, so it was normal for them to be a little vigilant.
Lin Xi said: "He is Ling Yebai's second brother, Ling Luochen. β
Ling Luochen glanced at everyone and arched his hand: "Everyone, it's polite." β
Li Qingyou was the first to salute back: "It's polite, Brother Ling." β
Lin Xi also introduced: "This is Li Qingyou, he is a very powerful person and has helped me a lot. β
Ling Luochen suddenly remembered something: "Li Qingyou--I've heard of you." β
"Oh?" Li Qingyou was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Oh? Where is it? β
"Of course it's Xixia, you Li Qingyou have a stunt and travels thousands of miles a day, who doesn't know the people in the rivers and lakes there?"
Tang Ling scolded Li Qingyou from behind: "I didn't expect you, you are quite famous." β
"Oh, it's just a few people who know about me, how can I be considered famous......"
Ling Luochen smiled: "Your brother Li is a little too modest!" This little girl is you...... Madam? β
"No, no, no, isn't it......" Li Qingyou interrupted Ling Luochen and smiled embarrassedly, "It's a friend, a friend......"
Tang Ling pouted and pushed Li Qingyou away: "Brother Ling, under Tang Ling, be polite." β
"Polite...... Ay? She is ......" Ling Luochen glanced at Xi Jingyao next to her.
Lin Xi hurriedly walked over and introduced the stunned Xi Jingyao: "Oh, her name is Xi Jingyao, and she is from Xijiazhuang, Shandong. β
Xi Jingyao said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Ling, I was rude." β
Ling Luochen waved his hand, not caring at all: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry." But--Brother Lin, why are these all new faces? I remember a couple of girls following you......"
Ling Luochen didn't notice it, as he spoke, Lin Xi was stunned, and the sadness in his heart almost broke out again.
"Lin Xi-" Xi Jingyao carefully tugged at the corner of Lin Xi's clothes, quietly trying to comfort him.
Ling Yebai also hurriedly ran over and stopped the second brother Ling Luochen: "Second brother and second brother, don't talk about it......"
Ling Luochen looked at everyone's ugly faces, and probably knew what was going on.
"Oh...... Don't say it, don't say it......"
Ling Yebai looked at the dead silence in embarrassment, and she had no choice but to break the silence by opening her mouth as an introvert.
"Brother, why did you come here? What about the third and fourth brothers? β
Ling Luochen sighed: "Harm, I'm here to find the third and fourth." β
Under the conversation between the two, the cold atmosphere was finally eased a little.
"Where did the third brother and the fourth brother go?"
"A few days ago, a skilled man in black came to us late at night, and the man in black stretched out his hand and took out fifty taels of gold, asking us to leave with him and do something big, but the three of us did not agree, and the man in black left. Unexpectedly, as soon as I woke up, the third and fourth children disappeared! I knew that they liked gold and silver treasures, and I feared that they would be bewitched like the eldest brother, so I searched and inquired all the way to this place. β
Everyone was shocked, and Lin Xi asked, "Lost?" β
"Yes......" Ling Luochen sighed: "It's true to say that my two brothers love money, but it's never been like this to disappear without saying hello!" That's why I'm more worried about them......"
"Brother Ling, how did you get here from the northwest?" Li Qingyou asked.
"Harm, naturally, my Ling family's green clothes and white jackets are conspicuous, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to chase all the way so far. Just now I was asking the shopkeeper outside, and then I learned that a person in green clothes had come, and I didn't ask in detail in a hurry, but I didn't want to be you. β
Tang Ling asked another thing: "Hey, Brother Ling, the man in black...... Have you ever seen that you did it? β
"The swordsman's swordsmanship in black is unpredictable, virtual and real, I have never seen it."
"Weird...... Then why did the man in black come at you? β
Facing Lin Xi's question, Ling Luochen shook his head meaningfully: "The man in black didn't come for usβ"
"What?"
Ling Luochen said: "On my way here, I met the three Wanjian brothers in Anxi. They told me that a few days ago, Wanjianmen lost several disciples with strong martial arts, and they went out to look for them, but without thinking about asking, they found that dozens of martial arts families in the entire northwest had more or less lost a few disciples, one or two at the least, and a dozen at the most, adding up to one or two hundred people. β
"And such an outrageous thing?" Lin Xi exclaimed.
"Yes, it's either a desert or a snow-capped mountain, and it's not easy to find people if they lose them. If it weren't for the Tsing Yi and white jacket being too conspicuous, I'm afraid I would have lost it a long time ago. β
Lin Xi asked, "Brother Ling, can you be sure that your two brothers are here in Bianjing?" β
Ling Luochen nodded and said, "Absolutely sure, I asked all the way." β
"One or two hundred people with strong martial arts entered Bianjing City--this is really strange. Are they also here for tourism? Lin Xi sneered, but his face was extremely solemn.
Opening the window and looking at the endless flow of people on the royal street below, Lin Xi gradually fell into deep thought......
Behind this prosperity, how many secrets are hidden that you can't see or touch?
