Gong Yuwei looked surprised, and Lin Zhan was even more dazed.

The old beggar got up and took out a burden from under the grass ball, then took out a token from it and handed it to both hands: "This is your token!" ”

Lin Zhan took the token and saw that it was written: "Sky Crying Star, Lin Zhan!" ”

"This is a relic of Captain Cao's life, and it's time to hand it over to you!"

The old beggar handed over the burden and continued: "Last month someone gave me these things, so that I must hand them over to you myself. ”

Lin Zhan was surprised: "Who is it?" And why did you give it to me? ”

The old beggar sighed, and then said: "The one who can have the right to appoint the token, except for the imperial court, there is only the chief, and the people who came said that Cao Xiaowei had a disciple before his death, and he should take over the post of Luzhou Knife Captain." ”

Lin Zhan asked, "Lord?" The head of the thirty-six sword-catching captains, Tiankuixing? ”

The old beggar replied, "Exactly." ”

Lin Zhan asked again, "Then how do you determine my identity?" ”

The old beggar replied: "The person who came has left a portrait, not to mention that the red coffin behind you is Captain Cao's belongings, how can I not recognize him after following him for many years......"

Gong Yuwei looked at the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the hospital, and sighed: "Then since you are a knife catcher in Luzhou, why did you end up in such a situation?" ”

The old beggar's expression suddenly became excited: "Since the death of Captain Cao, Luzhou has no owner and everything is in chaos, in order to compete for the position of captain of the school, it is not surprising that there is a clear and secret fight, and even colluded with outsiders to kill his siblings!" ”

Lin Zhan opened the baggage, and it was all the belongings and clothes that Lao Cao had with him before his death.

Listening to the old beggar's words, he realized.

After Lao Cao's death, the knife catcher in Luzhou was ownerless.

Zhao Shicheng, who was the most valued subordinate who followed him before, was supposed to take over the position of Luzhou Knife Catcher Captain, but he did not wait for the appointment.

Last month, when he received the appointment of Lin Zhan as the captain of the Luzhou Knife Catcher, Zhang Shicheng gathered all his cronies and tried to wipe out those who opposed him.

These beggars in the courtyard are the end of persecution.

Being able to keep the token and baggage is enough to show that they are all loyal followers of Lao Cao.

"Since you are a disciple of Cao Xiaowei, you should keep Cao Xiaowei's foundation! His subordinate Lu Heng is willing to regain power in Luzhou with you! ”

"My subordinates are willing to follow the captain and regain the power of Luzhou!"

"My subordinates are willing to follow the captain and regain the power of Luzhou!"

"My subordinates are willing to follow the captain and regain the power of Luzhou!"

Lin Zhan looked at the sincerity in the eyes of these people, and couldn't help but be a little moved.

As the old beggar Lu Heng said, he is also Lao Cao's personal disciple, and he should keep Lao Cao's foundation.

But Lao Cao didn't let himself wade into this troubled water until he died, and now if he takes this token, is it right or wrong?

Looking at the silent Lin Zhan, Lu Heng pleaded with tears: "To this day, the cause of Captain Cao's death is still unknown, if you refuse to take the position of this Luzhou knife catcher, the brothers have no choice but to die, so as not to be bullied by Zhao Shicheng's dog thief in every way!" ”

With that, Lu Heng took out a dagger from his arms and put it around his neck.

The cause of Lao Cao's death, Lin Zhan has never delved into it.

If he wanted to know, Lao Ganna could find out some news.

The reason why he has never explored it is precisely because he knows that his strength is vulnerable, and one day he will definitely kill the enemy.

Lin Zhan stared at Lu Heng and said in a deep voice: "I order you as the captain of the Luzhou Knife Catching Captain to put down the dagger in your hand." ”

After hearing this, Lu Heng directly threw away the dagger in his hand and kowtowed again and again: "See Captain Lin!" ”

Lin Zhan is in a dilemma at the moment, since he has taken over the position of the captain of the Luzhou knife catching school, he should find a way to live for the brothers at present and regain the power of Luzhou, but he still has to go to the True Martial Sword Sect to explore the truth of the ancient characters.

"Forget it, stay a few more days. In any case, it is necessary to give these brothers a safe place to stay, so that they can wait for their return to consider the long term. ”

Lin Zhan thought in his heart, but asked, "Are there any mountain bandits outside this Luzhou City?" ”

Lu Heng thought for a moment, then said: "In the early years, there were a few gangs, but before the climate became successful, they were wiped out by Cao Xiaowei with us, and last year a group of thieves suddenly appeared and seized Erlong Mountain, ten miles away from the city, and gathered more than 300 people, it is said that those two masters are the four masters of the innate realm, and Luzhou Mansion and Zhang Shicheng can't do anything at all!" ”

"And such a good place to go?"

Lin Zhan groped his chin, and said with his own abacus in his heart: "Tonight, I will go with me to vote for the Erlong Mountain!" ”

Everyone was immediately stupid when they heard this, and Lu Heng asked with a puzzled face: "Captain Lin, is it possible that we are going to fall into the grass?" ”

Lin Zhan didn't explain, but ordered: "Do as I say, no need to ask." ”

At this time, Gong Yuwei couldn't help but be curious, and asked in a low voice, "What kind of abacus are you playing?" ”

"The show is on."

As he spoke, Lin Zhan wiped the mud on the ground towards Gong Yuwei and his face, glanced at the bulging place and said embarrassedly: "...... You can do it yourself. ”

Gong Yuwei reacted that he meant something, and immediately blushed, wanting to teach Lin Zhan a lesson, but found that he had already hidden far away, so she could only give him a roll of the eyes.

Hai time.

Lin Zhan and Gong Yuwei mixed in Lu Heng's team and walked towards the city gate.

Originally, I was worried that something would happen, but the officers and soldiers at the city gate said hello to Lu Heng and let him go directly.

"This ......"

"Two of them are our people."

"This is the way you said before that you can safely send us out of Luzhou City?"

"Yes! I remember the hours of their duty very well. ”

“……”

Lin Zhan rolled his eyes and whispered to Gong Yuwei: "I knew this, so what are we pretending to be?" ”

Gong Yuwei lowered her head: "Let's go out of the city first." ”

After successfully leaving the city, everyone quickened their pace.

Because there are disabled brothers, I didn't go to the foot of Erlong Mountain until I was a child.

At a glance, Lin Zhan couldn't help but sigh: "This is an excellent mountain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, no wonder Luzhou Mansion and Zhao Shicheng are helpless!" ”

Lu Heng nodded: "Yes!" It is said that there is only one way up the mountain in Erlong Mountain, and this road is only one foot wide, and if you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff and break your bones! ”

"Light the torch!"

Lin Zhan gave the order and took the lead in walking towards the road up the mountain.

When I reached the mountainside, I heard a shout from above: "Someone squeak, or you will be killed by arrows!" ”

Lin Zhan took the torch and waved: "Tell you to be in charge, I will bring my brothers to serve Erlong Mountain!" ”

"Stand where you are, and wait for me to report it!"

There was another shout from the mountain, and Lin Zhan motioned for everyone to stay where they were.

A cup of tea.

Dozens of torches were lit at the shouting place just now, and then he spoke again: "The big master, the second master is invited!" ”
