In June, Jiangsu and Zhejiang also entered the rainy season. The beginning of the rainy season in Ningbo has been quietly falling since the first day of June.

In the Lin Mansion, the first person to discover this rain was probably Lin Zongbian. He exhausted his whole body's true qi last night to help Mu Xun raise his internal strength to the sixth layer realm, and it was not until the beginning of the hour that he was finished, and when he returned to the second floor with his weak body, the raindrops also began to fall.

After most of the night of meditation and recuperation, near dawn, the true qi in his body finally returned to normal, slowly opened his eyes, and heard that the sound of rain outside the building was still continuous, so he got up and went out to watch the rain.

At this time, the sky has just been flooded with white light, the distant mountains are misty and misty, the downstairs is empty, and the drizzle of cotton needles falls on the tiles, converging into a trickle, and then dripping down the tile ditch.

Lin Zongbian looked at the rain scene in front of him, his heart fluctuated slightly, and he unconsciously recited two lines of poetry by Lu You of the Song Dynasty: "The light rain and light clouds have entered the plum, and the daylilies have bloomed for a while..."

But as soon as he had recited these two verses, a figure flashed out of the door, and in an instant he saw a man standing beside him.

The person who came was not tall, wearing a wide black hooded cloak, it was impossible to tell whether he was fat or thin, the brim on his head was drawn very low, and his face was covered with a black scarf with silver trim, and the whole person only showed a pair of deep and gloomy eyes from top to bottom, and the cold air was pressing.

He bowed slightly to Lin Zongbian and asked in a low and hoarse voice, "The master is in a hurry to summon me, I don't know what to order?"

Lin Zongbian's gaze was not slanted, but his gaze had moved from the eaves to the distance, and only after a while did he answer the question: "Time flies! In two months, it will be the day of my wife and children..."

The man in black nodded slightly, and no longer asked the previous question, but instead asked, "What sacrifice do you need this time?"

Lin Zongbian withdrew his gaze from the distance, looked up at the strings of water droplets falling from the eaves, and ordered: "The reason why I urgently recruited you back is to ask you to go to Kunming and help me carefully investigate a person named Xu Che, and I want all the information about him." He turned his face to look at him, and said, "Right now, his father Xu Qingwei is living in my brother-in-law's house, you can start with this Xu Qingwei." ”

The black-clothed man's eyes rippled slightly, and he asked, "Brother-in-law, isn't it Mu Beiting?" When he said the three words "Mu Beiting", his tone couldn't help but rise a few degrees, and he was obviously quite shocked.

Lin Zongbian nodded and said, "Yes, it's him." ”

The man in black was shocked and muttered to himself: "It turns out that he went to the borderland, no wonder, no wonder..."

Lin Zongbian looked sideways at the man in black, and said, "Remember, you are secretly going to find out the bottom this time, and you must not reveal your whereabouts and be discovered." ”

The man in black raised his head slightly, obviously puzzled by this "secret investigation" arrangement, but after a little hesitation, he still couldn't help but ask, and only said: "Since the master attaches importance to this person, I will bring him directly." ”

Lin Zongyan snorted and said, "If you can really bring him back, then I will give you the thing you have always wanted." ”

When the man in black heard this, his body trembled suddenly, and his eyes burst out with bright brilliance, and his voice became excited and high-pitched, and he hurriedly said: "Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, I will definitely bring him back!"

Lin Zongbian said lightly: "I'm afraid that the people in the hands of Lord Yama will not be able to bring it." ”

The man in black was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly, his tone returned to normal, and said, "I see..."

Lin Zongbian looked at the sky again in a blink of an eye, and saw that the drizzle at this time had the intention of stopping, so he looked sideways at the man in black and said, "The rain has stopped, you should set off." ”

The man in black bowed slightly and responded, "Take care of the master, I'm going." When he had finished speaking, he jumped downstairs.

But at this moment, Lin Zongyan suddenly stopped him again and asked, "Ye Zhan, you say..." After a long pause, he closed his eyes and continued: "You said that if my child is still alive... Does he look like me?"

Ye Zhan's body was shocked, his eyes looked at Lin Zongyan's body for a moment, and he nodded slowly: "Maybe!" After speaking, his figure flashed and jumped downstairs, and then after performing a few vertical leaps in the empty square, he finally disappeared in the garden.

Lin Zongbian always stared at Ye Zhan's forward figure, and only slowly withdrew his gaze after disappearing, then took a step forward, stretched out his hand to support the railing, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. At this time, the crisp air lifted his spirits, and when he opened his eyes again, his face returned to calm. At this moment, I saw Zhang Hezheng running towards the door of the building in the square in front of the building.

After a while, Zhang He entered the building, he climbed the stairs to the second floor, rushed to Lin Zongbian, and when he got close, he bowed down and asked, "The head of the family was tired last night, why didn't he rest for a while today?"

Lin Zongbian said: "If it's not in the way, you don't have to worry. ”

Zhang Hedao: "Then do you want to eat something?"

Lin Zongbian shook his head slightly, then turned around and walked towards the building, saying as he walked: "I'm going to go out..."

But before he could finish speaking, he heard Zhang He shouting, "What? You're going out!"

Lin Zongbian looked back at him, frowned, and said, "What's the matter, can't I go out?"

Zhang He stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh violently, and after feeling the pain, he finally made sure that he had heard correctly, and hurriedly moved to Lin Zongbian's side, and said with concern: "You haven't stepped out of this Ten Thousand Books Tower for twenty years! Why do you think of going out today? Is something going on?"

Lin Zongyan snorted and repeated, "Can't I go out?"

Zhang He hurriedly smiled and said, "Look at what you said, how could it not be, I just... It's just a bit of a shock. After a pause, he asked, "Is the place you are going to be far or near, and what kind of carriages and horses do you need?" I'll go and arrange it for you!"

Lin Zongyan said: "You don't need a car, just prepare a good horse for me, I'm here to meet an old friend, and I'll be back in two days at most." ”

Zhang Heying said: "Yes, I'll arrange it." ”

Lin Zongbian hurriedly called him to stop, and then ordered: "Mu Xun will be in a coma for the past two days, you don't have to go upstairs during this period, and wait until the morning of the third day, you will boil this decoction and send it to him." After speaking, he took out a medicine bag wrapped in yellow paper from his bosom and handed it over, and advised: "Remember, this medicine needs to be soaked in cold water the night before." ”

Zhang He stretched out his hand to take the medicine bag, put it in his arms without looking at it, and said with a smile: "You really have a deep affection for Young Master Mu! When he wakes up, I want to talk to him well." ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Lin Zongbian thought for a while, and said: "I can say it, but remember not to be too serious, and to control the scale." ”。

Zhang He was slightly stunned, he said this casually, but he didn't expect Lin Zongbian to think about it. But since the head of the family had orders, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, the head of the family, I will grasp the heat." ”

Lin Zongbian said: "I'll go out in half an hour, you go down and make arrangements." ”
