Volume 1: Jade Festival Chapter 65 Welcome Lin Jian again
Although Lin Muyan didn't mention anything about her father after all, Shi Liang still made a plan in his heart: to send the little girl to leave Yangjiawan temporarily. Yang Hao's hint just proved that the bloated middle-aged deacon had already found some clues through his personal connections, and he had once again locked his eyes on Yujie Town, and now Lin Muyan was at risk of being exposed at any time.
The little girl's abnormal stress last night was completely unexpected by Shi Liang. However, the two have relied on each other for a long time, and they have experienced the catastrophe of life and death together. Although there is always a shadow in a man's heart that cannot be put down, he has always deliberately avoided Lin Muyan's emotional dependence. But the girl who looked like a relative was now so pitiful, "Protect her!" It became Shi Liang's only choice.
That night, Shi Liang cleaned up his room and was busy until late, just to find an excuse to persuade himself to stay in the room and accompany Lin Muyan, who was already asleep. The delicate jade man on the bed had a haggard face, short breathing, and a sad brow that never stretched. On the edge of the bed, the man after the end of the day leaned on the bed, looking at the girl gently, feeling his scalp wrinkled from time to time, and his mind was full of thoughts, and he couldn't be stable all night.
The girl's father who is about to face is Wu Kai, who was once the head of the Jade Festival Post and is now a high-ranking official of the Bai Yanbian Army, and he has to be obedient and laughing, and the terrifying energy contained in it has far exceeded the limit of Shi Liang's current range.
The future is uncertain, and it seems that there are many choices, but Shi Liang can clearly feel that there are many shackles between the invisible. It's hard to have both, and this once made men feel hopeless and powerless. "If Jiang Lan is still here, it will be fine." Shi Liang inadvertently remembered the girl in his memory, after the epidemic, his old friends and relatives were either dead or separated, and the man really didn't know where else to entrust Lin Muyan to.
Time passed quietly in the man's thoughts, until the rooster crow in the morning lit up the sky. Shi Liang stood up carefully, gently pulled up the kicking futon for the girl on the bed, quietly walked out of the house, and rushed to the Yujieyi military camp not too far from home by taking advantage of the bright light in the early morning.
"Squeak-" The porter opened softly, then quietly closed again. Shi Liang, who walked out of the house, didn't see it, the girl who was originally lying on the bed and pretending to be asleep sat up, looking at the hollow wall and was stunned.
"My father-in-law sent me to seek you first." A rich male voice sounded in the dark, and the emotions between the words were mixed.

Shi Liang returned to the camp early today, and after the order, he went to ask Wang Dashi and a few other friends in the army, he needed to hurry up and find a reliable place for Lin Muyan as soon as possible.
Even so, the man also knows that he can't talk too much about this matter, after all, he can't harm the future of his brothers and friends because of his own private affairs. Therefore, I had to pretend that my relatives wanted to look for relatives elsewhere, and asked if a few brothers had relatives and friends who could help them in other provinces. Only in this way can the little girl be arranged to go to another country. As for today's entrustment, it is nothing more than a last resort, so that one or two people can be found for help.
The morning was busy, and in a blink of an eye, it was noon, Shi Liang was still talking to Wang Dashi in the public room of the Yujie Yiya, Geng San ran over in a hurry, and said loudly to Shi Liang: "Old Shi! The head of the line calls you to go directly to the Mingyue Tower in Yujie Town, and prepare to gather to welcome the distinguished guests in the army. "Since Yang Hao came, Geng San seems to have returned to his soul all of a sudden, and he has a lot more words than before.
Wang Dashi naturally knew who the distinguished guests in the army were, and he said happily: "It seems that Lao Yang is back!" Let's go! After saying that, he stood up and turned around, but saw that Shi Liang, who was supposed to be the most excited, was not particularly happy, but had a worried face, and couldn't help asking, "Old Shi, what's wrong with you, you're not feeling well?" β
The man said that he was suffering, he didn't expect that Deacon Lin, who had gone to Danruo Town on business, would return so quickly, and suddenly came back to his senses after a while: "No, no, no, I'm fine, let's go, go and meet Lao Yang." As he spoke, he was grabbed by Geng San and Wang Dashi and ran out of the gate of the post office.
Yujieyi can be regarded as a big move this time, Lu Pei gave an order, and all the 100 people of the post station were dispatched, and they crowded into the town's docks. Under the scorching sun, the flowers were blooming, and the merchant ships had given way to the side in less than half an hour. The flame warriors lined up on both sides of the post in armor, holding long poles and red flags in their hands, and wrote "Welcome to the Envoy" in the golden body.
The water transport wharf has been cleared and vacated early today, and it is full of vitality at this moment, and it is obviously very lively. The flaming red flags are waving in the wind, and the huge golden characters shine brightly. Brown and gray Nanhua craftsmen, light green jasmine doctors, yellow begonias, green orchids, pink roses, red peoniesγγγγγγ All kinds of flowers line up, and flowers surround the roadside. What's more, it was a group of gray-clothed miscellaneous servants who were busy with green, each taking bright flowers of a thousand colors and hundreds of styles, and laying out a sea of flowers along the riverbank. The scattered petals dance in the wind, attracting colorful butterflies and adding a little vitality.
"Dad, it's so beautiful and fun here." The plush dots on the mecha's light curtain are lively and beating, and the colorful greeting team makes it particularly happy.
Shi Liang, who was standing at the head of the queue, was still thinking about his own thoughts, and did not speak, but Hu Tianye, who was in third place behind him, secretly poked the back of Lu Jun's mecha in front of him, and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't this battle a bit too exaggerated?" β
The man smiled, but he didn't hear the words of the soldiers in the back row.
Not long after all the personnel were ready to be in place, in the extreme distance of the surging Daqin River, a black spot jumped out of the waves where the water and the sky met, and then a huge black sailing ship approached far away. The oppressed hull draft, the huge waves that were squeezed out one after another, lapping and cascading the waves, pushing violently, rushing up the embankment of the riverbank, blowing out the mist in the sky.
The water vapor swept up with the pollen aroma and suddenly greeted, and a group of musicians and drummers from Mingyue Lou played a lively and cheerful welcome dance in a timely manner.
As soon as Black Sail entered the harbor, ten White Flame Mecha on the deck soared into the sky, divided into three rows and carrying a total of three thick hemp rope hinges, as if they were dragging the huge ship slowly to the berth that had been prepared on the river bank. The leader Bai Jia did not participate in the work of the "slender man", but rushed straight into the assembly color array in the middle of the dock.
Standing at the head of the color array queue, Yujieyi Cheng Lu Pei, dressed in a red-robed official uniform, saw that it was Bai Yanshi's mecha stepping forward, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile. Bai Yan's mecha arched his hand slightly, and Yang Hao's familiar voice came: "Instructor! β
When Lu Pei heard this, his face was even more happy, but he slowed down his steps forward, slightly supported his belly, and sighed loudly: "Good boy, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you are almost at the same level as me." What a young and promising boy! β
Yang Hao is no longer the young recruit he used to be, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "That's still the soldier you trained!" β
Wuqisan was overjoyed when he heard this, and his face was even more proud.
Just as the master and apprentice were about to catch up and chat, the black-sailed giant ship was already moored on the bank of the river. The rope was tied around the cast-iron pillar, the huge hull was steady, the axle wheel moved, and a huge black cabin with a width and length was slowly sent out by the four iron arm slings on the mast, suspended in the air on the side of the ship, and then slowly lowered downward, and finally hung firmly on the dock platform.
The hatch slowly opened, and three people stepped out of it. The middle-aged man is still obese, and the gold lines on his clothes are different every time, but he is still wearing a Tsing Yi Bailan robe that seems to be torn. Behind him is a man and a woman, the man is powerful, the muscles are up, the nose is four corners, the mouth is horseshoe-shaped, the appearance is very mediocre and a little ugly, but he is as tall as a mountain, his pace is as steady as a tiger, and his body is not much inferior to the good men in the army who are already mechas.
As for the girl who came out last, she was seventeen or eighteen years old, richly dressed, and had a delicate face, but her eyes were dull, like a pottery person. "Xiaoyan!" Shi Liang was shocked and couldn't help but whisper, but his voice was completely drowned in the flowery atmosphere of singing and dancing.
In front of the distinguished guests, Lu Pei, as the supreme official, naturally bore the brunt of the attack, and hurriedly bowed forward, just about to open his mouth to greet him. The bloated middle-aged man had already glanced at the exaggerated battle on the wharf on the riverbank, but it seemed that he lacked interest in everything that Lu Pei had arranged, and in the face of the front and back, the courteous and welcoming Yicheng was also reluctant to take care of it, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he directly ordered Yang Hao, who was still in white armor: "Xiao Yang, are the carriages and horses ready?" β
"Ready, ready, my lord, I'm ready for you." Five-seven-three naturally answered, and as he spoke, he saw a brocade-decorated bird-like beast cart trotting out at the right time and stopping in the middle of the field. The little maid who drove the car was blowing in the spring breeze, and it was the middle-aged deacon and domestic servant of Tongbing who came to the camp early in the morning. He was naturally served comfortably by the people arranged by Lu Pei in the past few days, but after seeing the master's house, he immediately bent down and lowered his eyebrows, turned over and moved down a small mahogany ladder, and bowed aside to wait for Lin Jian's orders.
The bloated Deacon Lin didn't bother to ignore it, and still waited for the little post man on the other side with his face, flicked the hem of his clothes, and with the help of the domestic servants, he stepped on the carriage and horse. Lu Pei naturally saw the opportunity to step forward to help, but was pushed aside by the sturdy man who followed Lin Jian.
The man was burly, like a human bear, and he didn't have any respect for Lu Yicheng in official uniform, and escorted Lin Jian and the little lady Lin Muyan into the car, only then did he lower his voice again and asked carefully: "Father-in-law, where are we going?" β
Lin Jian pondered for a moment and ordered: "Go to the town guard mansion and meet old friends." β
