CHAPTER XVI

Lin Weige's words really made Qi Liyun very grateful.

But in this huge Jingbei City, Qi Liyun really couldn't figure out why Lin Weige would help their group of wanted criminals in the imperial court.

Seeing that Qi Liyun didn't speak for a long time, Lin Weige thought that she didn't believe it, so he had to take out a ball of oiled paper from his arms and throw it to Qi Liyun.

Qi Liyun took the oil paper and spread it out in the palm of his hand, only to see a pitch-black and shiny ring wrapped in the oil paper.

This iron ring itself is not valuable, but it is one of the eight tokens of Tieqimen, implying that the recipient has been kind to the disciples of Tieqimen, but Tieqimen has not repaid the favor.

The Tieqi Sect has always been the No. 1 sect in the Northern Qi Dynasty, so it has always required the disciples of the sect to be upright and upright, and to repay their kindness.

Once in Northern Qi, there were only a handful of people who owned this ring.

Most of the owners are heroes who reached out to rescue the disciples of Tieqimen in time when an accident occurred, and of course there were many ordinary people.

When a disciple was traveling abroad, he was discovered by an enemy of the Tieqimen, so he was chased all the way and was seriously injured.

The disciple finally fled to a village, barely escaping the enemy's pursuers, but the kind villagers rescued and took him in.

Without the knowledge of the villagers, the disciple recovered from his injuries and returned to Tieqimen, leaving behind an iron ring before leaving.

Later, the village was discovered by the enemy, and although the disciple had left, the enemy still set fire to the village.

Only the youngest daughter of the village chief, who hid in the mass grave in the back mountain with the iron ring, survived.

The rest of the story is known in the rivers and lakes, because the little girl took the ring and found the "home" of the big brother.

So Tieqimen dispatched all the disciples who could be used, a total of more than 380 people, to destroy the enemy's family, not to mention, but also cut off the heads of the group of beasts, and spread the head of the rivers and lakes.

Lin Weige held this ring, which showed that he had been kind to the people of the Tieqi Sect.

Seeing this ring, Qi Liyun couldn't hold back her tears anymore, only to see her kneeling on the ground with a bang, crying and kowtowing to Lin Weige.

Seeing this, Lin Weige couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up Qi Liyun and said:

"Miss Qi doesn't have to be like this, I didn't save them in vain, after all, you agreed to do business with me. Speaking of which, I have to apologize to you. ”

Qi Liyun was puzzled, Lin Weige risked his life to rescue all the senior brothers and sisters, how could there be an apology?

I only heard Lin Weige say slightly apologetically: "Your carrier pigeon was actually shot by someone I sent." There are many eyeliners under the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the old man really doesn't dare to let it go. ”

Hearing this, Qi Liyun understood why the carrier pigeon released earlier had not received a reply for a long time.

I saw Qi Liyun clenching his fists and luggage, and said softly:

"Old Man Lin saved my Tieqimen disciple from fire and water, Li Yun was grateful, and he couldn't repay it. Don't talk about a pigeon, even if I go to the soup, I am willing. ”

Faced with Qi Liyun's words, Lin Weige just waved his hand and said:

"It's not enough to go to the soup, but this trip to escort An Yan is also quite risky. I set up a family banquet in the house tonight, and Miss Qi also came with me, and I will tell you the route or something when the time comes. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Qi Liyun to agree, Lin Weige turned around and left the courtyard by himself.

Qi Liyun looked at the somewhat old back in the sunset, and couldn't help but wonder.

This old man seems to know a lot about the past of the Northern Qi Dynasty like the head of the town god, and he rescued the people of the Tieqi Gate, could it be that he is also the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty?

Qi Liyun went around the Lin Mansion for a whole hour, but he still couldn't find where the so-called family banquet was.

Originally, there were many people around, but Qi Liyun thought about how this banquet would not be placed in a secret place, so he didn't ask.

By the time she finally found out that she had lost her way in this huge Lin Mansion, there was no one around her.

Just as Qi Liyun was looking around suspiciously, he heard a sound of footsteps coming from behind him.

"Yo, female thief, what are you trying to steal this time?

Qi Liyun was a little irritated when he only heard this voice.

She turned her head and glanced at Lin Anyan, who came out of nowhere, and said impatiently:

"I remember that I told you my name, my name is Qi Liyun, and then the female thief and the female thief shouted, I cut your tongue. ”

After all, being in the Lin Mansion, Lin Anyan, as the master, was full of confidence, how could he be frightened by Qi Liyun's words.

"A thief is a thief, even if my father and you do some shady business, it can't change the fact that you stole my family's things. ”

Qi Liyun, who knew that he couldn't win at all, was no longer entangled in this matter, and finally caught a living person, and he was so familiar with the Lin Mansion's eldest young master of the Lin family, Qi Liyun naturally hurriedly asked about the family banquet.

"My father actually invited you, come with me, it should be a banquet in my Baihualou." ”

Qi Liyun followed behind Lin Anyan, passed through the back garden of the Lin Mansion, and approached a bamboo forest, listening to Lin Anyan say what the shortcut was.

Qi Liyun, who was in the bamboo forest, was in a trance, as if he had returned to the back mountain of the village.

How big is this forest mansion to hide such a bamboo forest that can't be seen.

The two walked for about a stick of incense before they heard the noisy voices of many people, Qi Liyun followed the prestige and saw a small courtyard.

Looking from the outside of the courtyard, you can see a small three-story building in the courtyard, which is brightly lit at the moment.

Walking into the small courtyard, Qi Liyun saw a huge table in the center of the courtyard.

Sitting in the main seat is naturally Lin Weige, the head of the Lin family.

On Lin Weige's left hand, there was a woman sitting, the woman was dressed simply, but just sitting there made Qi Liyun feel a chill.

On Lin Weige's right-hand side, there was an empty seat, which must have been Lin Anyan's.

And next to the woman was Lin Jinmo, the second lady of the Lin family, who had stabbed Qi Liyun during the day today.

To Qi Liyun's surprise, Du Juan swaggered next to Lin Anyan's seat, and there were three women who sat down with Du Juan.

The three women, like the cuckoo, were all dressed in solid-colored gauze clothes, and they should be the people of Baihualou in the cuckoo's mouth.

There are many wealthy families who can let their subordinates participate in the family banquet, but it is the first time that Qi Liyun has heard of it when they can let their subordinates sit at the main table and drink and have fun with the head of the family.

Seeing Lin Anyan and Qi Liyun arriving together, Lin Weige hurriedly beckoned and motioned for the two to come over.

When the two of them got closer, Du Juan, who suddenly found that there were still guests, gave up his seat in an interesting way, so everyone sat down, and the family banquet began.

I only listened to Lin Weige's introduction to Qi Liyun:

"This is my wife Cheng Hanshuang, several of them over there are An Yan's attendants, An Yan treats them like sisters, and they have always eaten and lived together, which makes Miss Qi smile. ”

After Lin Weige finished speaking, he saw the woman on the side raise her wine glass and said to Qi Liyun:

"The master only told me yesterday, saying that the master who injured An Yan was invited to be An Yan's guard, I never expected it to be such a beautiful girl. ”

Cheng Hanshuang's tone seemed to be grateful, but the content was very detailed, which made Qi Liyun very unhappy.

But Lin Weige is now the great benefactor of Tie Qimen, and Cheng Hanshuang's words are all facts, Qi Liyun had no choice but to smile slightly and raise his glass to respect.

Lin Weige naturally heard what Cheng Hanshuang said, and hurriedly motioned for everyone to move their chopsticks in an attempt to ease the atmosphere.

I don't know if Lin Weige's obstruction had an effect, and after that, Cheng Hanshuang only cared about eating and drinking, and never said anything.

Since ancient times, there has been a habit of sticking autumn fat, and today is the beginning of autumn, and the Lin family banquet is naturally full of meat dishes.

When he was in the village, although the food was not bad, Qi Liyun had never seen so many meat on a table, basically covering everything that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, and swam in the river.

Without Cheng Hanshuang's interruption, Qi Liyun was also happy to enjoy the food.

It's just that the cuckoo next to him is the same as in the morning, for fear that Qi Liyun has never eaten or seen it, and every time he picks up a dish, he has to introduce it to Qi Liyun, which makes Qi Liyun very embarrassed.

Of course, Du Juan didn't forget to introduce the sisters next to Qi Liyun.

In addition to the cuckoo, the three were Zizhu, Lotus, and Daisy.

Qi Liyun found that the subordinates of this Baihualou all used plant names, and when asked about this, everyone only said that it was Lin Anyan's preference.

The sarcasts on these four attendants seemed to be the same color as the plants in their names.

And the four of them also have a good hairpin on their heads.

Yesterday, Qi Liyun had already seen the hairpin on the cuckoo's head carved with azaleas, and at this time, looking at other people's hairpins, it was just like the name.

Thinking of Lin Anyan's action of diving into the water to save people last night, combined with what Du Juan said today and Qi Liyun's own observations, Qi Liyun began to believe that Lin Anyan did treat his subordinates like relatives.

But on the other hand, for real relatives, although he had long heard that Lin Anyan had a bad relationship with his parents because of the rumored "wild seeds" in the rivers and lakes, Qi Liyun never expected that the family could be so alienated.

During the banquet, Lin Weige took the initiative to raise a glass to Lin Anyan several times, but Lin Anyan just touched it lightly, um, drank it all, and never said anything.

Lin Weige naturally wanted to say a few more words to his son, and after thinking for a long time, he finally asked:

"An Yan, I heard that you went out today to ask for a sign, how did you ask for it?"

When Lin Anyan heard this, he frowned, and said as if he was a little unhappy:

"Don't mention it, that kid is like he has fallen into evil today, I asked for three signatures in a row from him, and each time I was more and more unlucky. ”

As he spoke, Lin Anyan told everyone everything he encountered during the day.

Of course, in the part of the blind old man, Lin Anyan only said that he had met a liar, after all, Lin Anyan always felt that the person was a liar.

Hearing what Lin Anyan said, Lin Weige sighed a little helplessly, shook his head and said:

"That's it, although the destiny of heaven is so, everything is man-made. You should be more careful on this apprenticeship trip. ”

As he spoke, Lin Weige turned his head to Qi Liyun and said:

"Miss Qi, I don't seem to have told you when to leave and where to send An Yan. If there are no accidents, you can set off tomorrow. ”

"As for the location, you need to escort An Yan to Taibai Mountain, the northernmost part of Daliang, where a middle-aged man surnamed Li lives, as long as he is willing to take An Yan as an apprentice, your task will be completed. ”

As he spoke, Lin Weige took out a beautiful wooden box from under the table and handed it to Qi Liyun.

Qi Liyun subconsciously stretched out his hand to open the box, but heard Lin Weige hurriedly shout to be careful.

However, it was too late, as soon as the box was opened a small crack, Qi Liyun felt an unprecedented force coming from the box.

Qi Liyun only felt as if she had been thrown into a huge river, and she was hit by a huge wave brought up by a strong wind, and in just an instant, she was knocked away several feet.

I only heard a loud bang, and when I looked again, Qi Liyun had already fainted in the flower bed in the small courtyard of Baihualou.

The flower beds made of pebbles one by one had already been smashed by Qi Liyun and scattered all over the place.
