Chapter 53, Brutal
In Huizhou, the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Heavenly Master Pavilion moved in in a big way, and the original owner was extremely reluctant to give up the territory for the Heavenly Master Pavilion to be stationed, but after thinking that the owners of the other two states also had to give up the territory to the Heavenly Master Pavilion to establish a sub-pavilion, his heart was also slightly balanced.
The current strength of the Heavenly Master Pavilion is not strong in the entire Zhou Dynasty, but it is not weak for Huizhou, and such a force should show its face as the original owner of Huizhou.
So just after all the students of the Heavenly Master Pavilion were stationed, a middle-aged man carrying a gift box was the first to knock on the door of the New Heavenly Master Mansion.
Yan Liang quietly came to Lin Zheng's side and whispered, Lin Zheng nodded: "Please come in." β
The middle-aged man was invited into the lobby.
"Pavilion Lord. The middle-aged man clenched his fists: "I am under the command of the White Emperor City, Feng Luyuan, the sect leader of the Qingshan Sect." β
"I've seen Sect Master Feng. Lin Zheng clenched his fists and then said, "Pavilion Master Feng wants to come and see, why do you still bring things." β
"It's just a little bit of heart, wouldn't coming empty-handed make people think that my Qingshan Sect and the Heavenly Master Pavilion are not close?" Feng Luyuan laughed as he spoke, and Lin Zheng also laughed twice.
"There is nothing else to do when I came this time, just to see if the Pavilion Master Lin likes this new Heavenly Master's Mansion?" Feng Luyuan looked concerned: "If you don't like it, you can find a new one in the territory of Huizhou at any time, and the Pavilion Lord Lin will definitely be satisfied." β
"Not necessarily. Lin Zheng shook his head: "This new Heavenly Master's Mansion is good, I am very satisfied, there is no need to run around." β
"It's good that the Pavilion Master is satisfied. Feng Luyuan smiled and nodded: "Presumably, the Lin Pavilion Master must have all kinds of things to be busy with when he first arrives, so I won't delay the Lin Pavilion Master's time here, if you encounter any problems, you can come to me at any time to solve them." β
"Goodbye. Lin Zheng nodded.
Feng Luyuan hugged his fists, Lin Zheng nodded, put the gift box beside Lin Zheng, and turned around to leave the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Lin Zheng waited until Feng Luyuan left, and then opened the gift box, as he thought, it was indeed the title deed of the house he was in now.
"Feng Luyuan. Lin Zheng smiled and shook his head, where is this to visit him, his words are full of hospitality, but he takes the title deed as a gift, which is clearly telling himself that Qingshan Sect is the master of Huizhou, and his Heavenly Master Pavilion is just a guest.
"That's it. Lin Zheng sighed, this matter was inevitable, this Feng Luyuan was quite upright, and it was much more reassuring than those villains with honey-bellied swords.
"Yan Liang. Lin Zheng called Yan Liang: "Send that string of golden sandalwood bracelets to Sect Master Feng, which can be regarded as a return gift from our Heavenly Master Pavilion." β
Yan Liang nodded yes and went to prepare.
"Grievances should be resolved, not settled. Lin Zheng whispered, now that the Heavenly Master Pavilion is in turmoil, it is not appropriate to make enemies with others.
Soon, without waiting for Lin Zheng to leave the lobby, Yan Liang came to Lin Zheng again and whispered in his ear, it turned out to be another guest from the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Lin Zheng asked someone to change the tea, and asked Yan Liang to bring the person to the lobby.
"Pavilion Lord. The person who came was a messenger wearing military armor and a sword at his waist: "I am a messenger in the Sky Wolf Army under the National Teacher, and I am here to convey an urgent letter." β
"Urgent letter?" Lin Zheng raised his eyebrows, if the Shige had reached such a point today, Li Jiunian actually sent an urgent letter to himself?
"Take it and take a look. Lin Zheng took the letter handed by the messenger and looked at it silently.
"War at the border?" Lin Zheng couldn't help laughing: "Can this kind of good errand fall on my head?" β
"The content of this letter is absolutely true, but I personally took it from the hands of the National Teacher, and it is not purely about dropping the bag. The messenger's eyes were firm, he was the messenger who shot the wolf, and he could be said to be one of the most professional messengers in the Zhou Dynasty, and it was impossible for the bag to be dropped.
"Then it's not my turn to intervene in the war at Bianguan, didn't the National Teacher seal Wudang Mountain as the state religion, why don't you let Wudang Mountain go?" Lin Zheng looked at the letter in his hand, and his first reaction was that Li Jiunian set up a Hongmen banquet for himself and wanted to kill himself, but after careful consideration, he felt that it was unlikely.
"This ......" the messenger looked embarrassed, as if he had something to say.
"Rest assured, today's conversation will not spread a single cent, and if there is anything to say, it will be straightforward. Lin Zheng looked at the messenger, knowing in his heart that the other party was forcing himself to take the initiative to ask.
"Since Pavilion Master Lin has said so, then his subordinates will not hide it. I heard that Wudang Mountain went out with the National Teacher for a while, and then all the masters of Wudang Mountain returned to the mountain to retreat, resulting in no one under the National Teacher. β
"No one available?" Hearing this news, Lin Zheng knew that what the messenger said was basically true, the master of Wudang Mountain should have accompanied Li Jiunian to the tomb of the Yan Dynasty and then was seriously injured and retreated, while Zhao Mingcheng, another general of the Zhou Dynasty, was now in his own mansion, and it was not unusual for Li Jiunian to have no one available.
"Then this urgent letter ......," the messenger looked at Lin Zheng.
"I took it. Lin Zheng pinched this letter, this is a great thing for the Heavenly Master Pavilion, this comfort can ensure that at least until the war subsides, the Heavenly Master Pavilion will not have any more accidents.
"Then when will we go back to Luoyang to receive the Tiger Talisman?" The messenger was overjoyed when he heard this, he had seen Li Jiunian's angry appearance, if Lin Zheng refused this errand, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to leave the whole corpse.
"You go to the guest room to rest first, and after I finish explaining the matter, I will take someone back to Luoyang with you tomorrow to receive the order. Lin Zheng asked someone to take the messenger to the guest room to rest, and he called Li Yu, Yan Liangzhan, Xingye, Shen Yueting and others to explain the matter clearly.
"Border wars. Li Yu laughed, he was the person who best understood the situation of Shige today: "What a border war, what a border war!"
"The question now is who goes and who stays?" Lin Zheng knew that he couldn't just go to the frontier alone, and he would definitely have to bring a few henchmen, but the question was who would go?
"I'll go. Yan Liang was the first to stand up, he had always stood behind Lin Zheng to protect Lin Zheng, and now that Lin Zheng was going to the frontier, he was naturally duty-bound.
"Then I'll go too. Shen Yueting then stood up, he still had to learn the way of the body with Yan Liang, so he must follow.
"I'm not going. Li Yu shook his head: "First, the Heavenly Master Pavilion needs someone to guard it, and secondly, I can stay here and continue to train soldiers and strengthen the Heavenly Master Pavilion." β
"I'm not going either. Zhan Xingye shook his head: "What are I going to do as an old man, it's not bad to stay in this Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to raise the elderly, and besides, I'm afraid that Li Yuxian will not be able to suppress Feng Luyuan and Zhao Mingcheng if he cultivates his twenty tricks." After a pause, Zhan Xingye said randomly: "And the good wealth boy." β
"In that case, then Yan Liang and Shen Yueting will go to the frontier with me, and Li Yu and Zhan Lao will stay behind, no one will have any objections, right?" Lin Zheng asked one last time, and when he saw that no one answered, he nodded.
"Let's all go and rest, Li Yu stays, I have something to explain to you. β
Li Yu nodded, sat in his seat and did not move, while the rest of the people left in a sense of interest.
This night, Lin Zheng explained a lot to Li Yu, the most important of which was that there was a problem with the identity of the good wealth boy, and Zhan Xingye probably knew his identity but did not tell it so that Li Yu should pay more attention.
Li Yu nodded, and after signaling that everything was clear, Lin Zheng went back to the room to pack some clothes.
In the corner, a light-containing sword bloomed in the moonlight, and a black iron knife was like a black hole.
Lin Zheng picked them up and put them on his lap and stroked them gently: "Grandpa, where have you been?"
On the second day, Lin Zheng was neatly dressed, and together with Yan Liang, Shen Yueting, and the messenger, he rode on the horses that had been prepared long ago, and prepared to go to Luoyang to receive the tiger talisman.
Lin Zheng walked away with great momentum, as if he was deliberately telling others what he was going to do, so as to deter some Xiaoxiao and make the future of the Heavenly Master Pavilion smoother.
Huizhou does not belong to the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, and it is a full twenty days away from Luoyang, and there are some rugged mountain roads, if it happens to be stormy, it is impossible to move forward, so Lin Zheng and others are ready to detour to Siming Prefecture, so that they will be able to reach Luoyang within 25 days and go to the border pass earlier.
Several people ran for nineteen days in a row, and finally came to the territory of Siming Prefecture on this day, rain or shine. Today's Siming Prefecture is no longer called Siming Prefecture, but was annexed by Kunlun and named Mingdie Prefecture together with Diezhou.
After coming to Mingdie Prefecture, Yan Liang felt uncomfortable, and Lin Zheng also knew that he was willing to leave this place as soon as possible.
However, unfortunately, Shen Yueting's horse began to vomit and diarrhea for some reason, and he was too weak to stand, let alone run.
As a last resort, Lin Zheng took Shen Yueting to the stable to sell a new horse. And Yan Liang stayed in the inn because of his special status.
"This horse is good. As soon as Shen Yueting entered the stable, he fell in love with a horse.
Lin Zheng followed Shen Yueting's gaze and saw a jujube red horse, this horse was tall and strong, with four hooves vigorously trampling on the ground, and there was even a bit of wildness in his eyes.
"A good horse indeed. Lin Zheng nodded and looked at the owner of the horse dealership: "How much is this horse." β
The owner of the horse shop is a middle-aged man, a little chubby, not tall, and looks honest and honest.
As soon as the boss saw Lin Zheng pointing at the red horse, he was immediately shocked and hurriedly pulled Lin Zheng's raised arm down.
"I can't point it, I can't point it, this horse is not for sale!" the owner of the horse shop looked at the door in a panic, and was relieved to see that no one had entered.
"Why don't you sell it?" Shen Yueting raised his eyebrows: "Even if you offer a high price, no matter how much money it is, I want this horse." β
"It's not about money!" the honest boss was about to explain, when he suddenly heard a coquettish sound outside the door.
"Who wants to buy my horse?"
Lin Zheng and Shen Yueting forgot when they heard the sound, and saw a woman standing outside the door with a nine-section whip in her hand.
Behind the woman was a man, who appeared to be the woman's attendant, and was silent and did not speak.
"Miss, no one wants to buy your horse, who in our Siming City doesn't know your grandmother Zhang's name, who dares to rob you, do you say yes?"
That's a good thing. The woman was coaxed happily, so she nodded and prepared not to care.
At this time, Shen Yueting couldn't stand it anymore: "If you ordered this horse, I naturally wouldn't be able to buy it, but I don't know if you ordered it, is it wrong to ask?"
