Chapter 54: The Enemy Comes to the Door
Outside Tianxi City, the pedestrians on the official road are weaving, and a man and a woman are walking on horseback, which is slightly abrupt. The man was dressed in a flaming red sable fur and had a delicate face, while the woman was dressed in black and had white hair, carved in pink.
"Young Master, why do you look so preoccupied?"
Mu Linchun sighed and frowned, "Qin Xuan is going to see Uncle Qin later because I was trapped in Kunlun Mountain this time...... Inevitably, I will be scolded again. ”
After Mu Linchun returned to Tianxi City, he went to Gu Yuantang as soon as possible and told Qin Zhiguan the ins and outs of the matter, the latter knew that his son was trapped in Kunlun Mountain, he was very angry, and scolded Mu Linchun on the spot, Mu Linchun could only listen silently, and he didn't dare to return a word.
Yue Yao bit her lip lightly and asked again, "Who did you buy those things for?"
Mu Linchun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Oh, it was brought to Senior Sister Qin Xuan, when I was in the hospital before, she took a lot of care of me, and I didn't thank her properly." ”
Yue Yao wanted to speak and stopped, and after a few battles, she finally didn't say anything more.
The two of them had their own thoughts all the way, and they didn't go fast, and after half an hour, they arrived in Dongping County. After entering the county seat, the two led their horses on foot, and it didn't take long for them to come to that familiar street and see the medical center.
Mu Linchun put the reins of the horse on the tethered stake at the door, looked up at Gu Yuantang, was stunned for a moment, and walked in. The familiar smell of herbs came to his nose, and a graceful figure walked towards him with a smile.
"Brother Mu, you're here!" Shen Manyao, a girl wearing a pink skirt, quickly put down what she was doing and said hello to Mu Linchun.
Mu Linchun smiled and nodded at her.
"Your complexion is much better than a while ago!" Shen Manyao glanced at Qin Zhiguan, who was giving the patient pulse in the consultation room on the side, and whispered: "After you left that day, Master read the letter written to him by Senior Brother, and most of his anger has disappeared. By the way, Brother Mu, are you here for anything today?"
Shen Manyao was already very close to Mu Linchun, and leaned forward when he spoke, Mu Linchun looked at Shen Manyao, who was almost next to him, his face turned red involuntarily, and he said a little hesitantly: "I, oh, it's nothing, I just came to see you, and brought some gifts to Uncle Qin and you by the way." Recently, I've been busy with things in the sect, and I've been free, no, I'm finally free today. ”
After speaking, Mu Linchun turned sideways and glanced at Yue Yao behind her, took a few packets of things from her hands and handed them to Shen Manyao.
After Shen Manyao took the gift, he only heard Mu Linchun say again: "I bought you some rouge gouache, some jewelry, and some good ginseng for Uncle Qin." ”
"Thank you, Brother Mu, I thank you on behalf of the master, but don't stay here, lest the master see you and lose his temper with you later. As Shen Manyao spoke, she put the two bags of things on the counter behind her, and she was busy again.
Behind the counter there were a hundred and ten drawers for storing medicines, all with the names of the medicines written on the outside, and the pink girl first glanced at the prescription, then turned around, and quickly grabbed all kinds of medicinal materials in the high or low drawers, and the amount was accurate without over-weighing, and then wrapped them in brown paper; in a moment, she prepared a prescription like a stream, and finally tied it with hemp rope and handed it to the waiting patient.
Mu Linchun looked at it, and he was a little stupid.
Yueyao on the side caught a glimpse of Mu Linchun's expression, and her face turned a little pale.
Shen Manyao seemed to notice Mu Linchun's gaze, raised her head and smiled at him, "Brother Mu, if you are not afraid of the master scolding you, go to the inner hall to do it for a while, there is tea over there, you pour it yourself, and I will look for you when I am done." ”
Mu Linchun smiled and nodded, and immediately walked towards the inner hall, to him, this somewhat old medical hall was much warmer than the luxurious annex he had in the Red Lotus Sword Sect.
Mu Linchun led Yue Yao to the inner hall and walked to the position he used to do. In the past, he often read books here, Qin Xuan always liked to be busy and sneak around, and ran over to chat with him, but before he could say a few words, a girl would run over with apricot eyes wide and angrily, and put her senior brother out, and before leaving, she didn't forget to turn around and show him a helpless smile.
Mu Linchun understood what the girl meant, she wanted to tell herself that the reason why she put on this face was because her senior brother was too scoundrel.
"Young Master, do you like her?" Yue Yao, who had been paying attention to the change in Mu Linchun's expression, suddenly asked this question.
Mu Linchun was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little overwhelmed, but after a while, he calmed down and said calmly: "Yueyao, let's talk about this question later, okay?"
Mu Linchun's voice was very calm, and most of the nameless fire that rose in Yue Yao's heart was extinguished at once, and she immediately thought: He is the young master of the dignified Red Lotus Sword Sect, and I am just one of his maids, even if he likes that woman, what can I do? Thinking of this, Yue Yao's heart actually felt a sadness for no reason.
Mu Linchun saw that Yueyao was a little lost, and was about to say something to comfort, but found that two hurried figures flashed away from the door of the inner hall. He recognized that one of the figures was Qi Hongyu.
Mu Linchun frowned, and a bad premonition rose in his heart, could Qi Hongyu leave in such a hurry, could it be that an enemy came to the door? Thinking of this, he immediately got up and walked out of the inner hall.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Mu Linchun walked out of the door, he saw a group of people and horses on the periphery of Gu Yuantang, all with long knives hanging from their waists, with solemn expressions.
The patients who came to see the doctor in the medical hall were all frightened and panicked, and they all hid in the inner hall, Qin Zhiguan wanted to go out and ask what this group of people did, but was pulled by Qi Hongyu.
Qi Hongyu said: "Doctor Qin, they are here to find me, don't go out." ”
Qin Zhiguan still didn't understand, it must have been Qi Hongyu's enemy who came to seek revenge, so he didn't say anything more at the moment and retreated.
Qi Hongyu glanced back at the woman in red who was following him, and said softly, "I'll deal with them later, you go first." ”
The woman in red was extremely beautiful, but her face was a little pale, and she said, "Brother Qi, I'm not leaving, I'm already fine, I want to break out with you." ”
Qi Hongyu glanced outside the door and said worriedly: "This time, Jiangnan Nine Dao came four times, and Guan Changfeng also came, I'm afraid of ......."
The woman in red smiled faintly, "Even if Jiangnan Jiudao is here, what if I can be with you, I'm not afraid of anything." ”
Qi Hongyu was stunned for a moment, he understood what his wife meant, and he was not afraid of anything, including death. Glancing at his affectionate wife again, Qi Hongyu smiled, "Okay, then our husband and wife will break out together today." ”
At this time, I suddenly heard a loud laugh from outside Gu Yuantang, and said in a deep voice: "Qi Hongyu, hurry up and get out and die, this medicine shop has been surrounded by me, and you can't escape if you have wings, aren't you known as a wild goose flying south, and a feather in the air? If not, I will kill it, and it will be your sin to hurt the innocent. ”
Mu Linchun followed the prestige, and saw that the person who spoke was a man in his fifties, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a dragon's head knife handle sticking out of his right shoulder, majestic. Mu Linchun knew that this person should be Guan Changfeng, the leading brother of the "Nine Swords Gang" in Jiangnan Province.
Guan Changfeng ranks fifth on the knife list, leads the Jiangnan Nine Knife Gang, and is the first person in the Jiangnan underworld. On his left and right sides, there are more than a dozen men riding horses and swords, among which three of them are particularly powerful, they are the characters in the "Jiangnan Nine Swords" and Guan Changfeng's sworn brothers.
Although Qi Hongyu is also a well-known sword god in the rivers and lakes, when he encounters this group of people, he will inevitably be overwhelmed, and if he goes out to fight hard, he will definitely not be an opponent. But at this point, he had no choice but to break through.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qi Hongyu stepped out of the door with his front feet, a Mu Linchun dressed in a fiery sable fur took the lead in squeezing out from him, blocking in front of Qi Hongyu and his wife, and then slowly walked not far in front of Guan Changfeng, looking at him with an extremely calm look.
Guan Changfeng was stunned for a moment, with his many years of experience in the rivers and lakes, he could naturally see that the calm and calm of the young man in front of him was definitely not pretended; he covered the sky with one hand in Jiangnan Road, but on the side of Tianxi City, he had to be careful and low-key. So he asked, "Who are you?"
"In Xiamu Linchun, I know that you have an undying grudge with Qi Jianshen, but he used to be kind to me, and it was a life-saving grace, so today, I dare to ask the Guan Gang Master to let Qi Jianshen and his wife leave, even if I return his kindness. ”
Before Guan Changfeng could speak, the black-clothed and red-cloaked bearded swordsman beside him had already said angrily: "Boy, what kind of thing are you......?
"Fourth!" Guan Changfeng raised his hand to interrupt the bearded swordsman's words, squinted his eyes and looked at Mu Linchun, and asked in a deep voice: "Why does Guan want to give you this posterior face? You just said, your surname is Mu, which Mu is it?"
Mu Linchun said calmly: "There are three hundred gates in the southeast sword forest, and a red lotus crown is too green. ”
This time, not only Guan Changfeng was stunned for a moment, but even the three swordsmen beside him also changed their faces.
The Red Lotus Sword Sect of Taiqing Prefecture, in its heyday, had a sword to suppress the southeast, crowning Taiqing, although its reputation in the rivers and lakes is not as good as before, but a few people still understand the truth that a strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake; what makes Guan Changfeng and the others hesitate is that when they were having dinner in Fengbo Building a few days ago, they had already heard that Mu Tianjun, the sect leader of the Red Lotus Sword Sect, had been promoted to the Heavenly Dao Realm, and for a while, several people were silent.
After thinking for a long time, Guan Changfeng asked in a deep voice, "What is the relationship between you and Mu Tianjun?"
"It's my father. ”
When Guan Changfeng heard this, he was silent for a while, and then said coldly: "My brothers and a few people traveled thousands of miles from Nantaizhou to Taiqing, in order to find Qi Hongyu and this demon girl to avenge the murder of their son, and you Red Lotus Sword Sect have no right to inquire about this matter." He paused and continued: "However, since you are a member of the Mu family of the Red Lotus Sword Sect, then I will give you this face, I will give him the two of them a stick of incense, how far they can escape depends on their ability." After a stick of incense, I will chase them again, and if they fall into my hands again, whether they live or die, I don't have to say what you say. ”
Mu Linchun arched his hand slightly, Guan Changfeng acted like this, he could be regarded as giving enough face to the Red Lotus Sword Sect, and he didn't want to make any more requests. And he moved out of his family background to fight for Qi Hongyu to escape with a stick of incense, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness, and he can't completely turn his face with the No. 1 gang in Jiangnan Province for him.
At this time, Guan Changfeng's subordinates had already bought a stick of sandalwood from the shop next to the street, and immediately lit it, and the last group of people was unwilling to get out of the way under Guan Changfeng's wave of his hand, and watched Qi Hongyu leave Gu Yuantang with the woman in red.
After the two left, Guan Changfeng looked at Mu Linchun, who was still standing in front of him, and sighed: "Seeing a high-spirited young man like you, I think of my son, if he hadn't been killed by Qi Hongyu and his wife, he would have been twenty-five years old by now, and it's my father who is ......always good," he said, showing a sad look on his face.
Mu Linchun just nodded and didn't speak.
Guan Changfeng retracted his thoughts and said: "I heard that Sect Master Mu has broken through the Heavenly Dao Realm, it is said that as long as your Red Lotus Sword Sect is promoted to Heavenly Dao, you will establish the next generation of successors, since you are the son of Mu Tianjun, I don't know if you will win the position of Young Master?"
Mu Linchun smiled, "Thank you for your concern, in the sword battle of the sect a few days ago, the junior was a lucky winner." ”
"Haha, okay, it's really a hero out of a teenager. Guan Changfeng sighed with a smile.
However, Mu Linchun seemed to be suddenly alert, his face turned pale, and he asked: "You Jiangnan Nine Swords are only afraid of more than four people, right?
Guan Changfeng was stunned, but said with a smile on his face: "This is just your speculation." ”
