Chapter 43 The first snow of the twin swords
looked around, but saw that Lin Hongfeng did not show up, but Cao Shupeng walked down from the upper floor, saw Lin Jianlan stunned for a moment, and then showed a clear look, and sat down under Cao Yinyin and said: "The helper, the Tietang master and others are still inseparable from the branch, and they are coming to say goodbye to the helper at this moment." ”
Cao Yinyin nodded and said: "In addition to Yue Lingfeng and Fang Zheng, there are also the hall masters of several halls who were killed in the past, and there are still six branch halls before they arrive, I am afraid that they have been moved by Wan Jianhong, even if they come again, they will have hesitation, it is useless for us to keep this kind of person, and it will definitely waver again at the critical moment, remember not to accept it again." He turned back and said to Tie Song: "Tie Tang Master, with your merits, it is more than enough to be a Dharma protector, but the Yellow River is really inseparable from you." ”
Tie Song said: "I can't do without that piece of yellow soup, the helper doesn't have to be polite." Lin Jianlan saw that he was still talking the same as before, recalling the stormy drift, he clung to the trouser leg of this god-like man, and the other hall masters also took care of him along the way, all of this was as if it were yesterday, but it was in an instant, and it was difficult to recall.
Cao Shupeng hesitated: "It's just that this is going to push them to Wan Jianhong and increase his momentum, and it won't be good for us." ”
Cao Yinyin sneered and said: "Open a gang and set up a faction, the ancestors of the Lin family have also gathered a lot of wealth to do it, starting empty-handed is just a fool's dream, Wan Jianhong is also someone else's pawn, if he doesn't let him make some moves, how can he find out who is behind him?"
Lin Jianlan listened to her remarks, revealing an old and calm energy, and said secretly: "Yin Yin doesn't know when he is so familiar with the affairs of the gang, his insights are far-sighted, and he handles things neatly, and it seems that no one can refute it. It's just that Cao Shupeng, as the current head of the Jade Sword Sect and her uncle, is so obedient to her, which is unexpected. ”
Just thinking about it, I heard Qin Tianxiong say: "There are still guests in the hall, and these trivial matters are not busy to deal with." The two stopped discussing, Cao Yinyin looked back at Lin Jianlan, and said, "I was interrupted by Mrs. Nawan, and it was really rude to ask Lin Gongzi what he was doing in this gang." After that, he glanced at the wound on Lin Jianlan's chest, and a pair of eyes went deep into the cold pool, and said, "Is Lin Gongzi's injury important?"
Lin Jianlan said: "I have ordered the acupoint to stop bleeding, and the wound is shallow, it doesn't matter, thank you Yin...... Cao Gang Leader came to the rescue. After changing his words, he was also stunned, stared at Cao Yinyin for a while, and said, "Why didn't you see Mrs. Cao?"
Cao Shupeng sighed coldly and said, "Why will she come back?"
Lin Jianlan Fang remembered that day Lin Hongfeng was heartbroken, her expression was sad, and what she said was still impressive, saying that this sad place, I am afraid that she will never come back in the future, but Yin Yin will always come back one day with her own ability, and she really does it today. However, this move really hurt the Kuangyi Gang again, and the former Zhang Protector, Fang Tang Master, and Brother Yue who were present in the past all did not know where they went, and the other gangs were also divided into two, or they still stayed in the gang, or followed Wan Jianhong to create another situation.
And what worries Lin Jianlan the most is that Lin Longqing's whereabouts are unknown, thinking of this, he didn't feel a little sad, got up and said: "I came here today, I don't know what kind of identity I should come to visit." It's just that Qin Protector and I have a teacher-student friendship, and my father-in-law and the mother of the Cao Gang Leader are brothers and sisters. ”
Everyone didn't know what he meant, Cao Shupeng was already showing impatience, while Qin Tianxiong sat firmly on the chair and listened, listening to Lin Jianlan say: "However, for Uncle Qing, my aunt and Sister Yin Yin can be regarded as flesh and blood, what is my righteous son? I came here from Chang'an, but I was worried about Uncle Qing's safety, so I asked Qin Protector and Cao Gang Master to inform him of his whereabouts, so that I could go and find him. If you can tell me where Fang and Yue, the two hall masters, and Zhang Protector have gone, I will be even more grateful. ”
His words were a good rhetoric that he had thought about along the way, thinking that he should be polite and euphemistic, and there would be no mistakes, but he heard Cao Yinyin say coldly: "Lin Gongzi is wrong, although he is a close relative of flesh and blood, but he is also a deep feud in the sea of blood, if Lin Gongzi can find Lin Longqing's whereabouts, I am afraid that I will ask Lin Gongzi to tell him!"
Lin Jianlan saw that Cao Yinyin was already calling his uncle's name, and there was only hatred in his voice, and there was no family affection, and he sighed: "Gang Master Cao, everything has already been clarified that day, are you and Mrs. Cao still so persistent?
Cao Yinyin was silent for a moment, raised his eyes and said: "Some people are full of hatred, thinking that killing the right person can eliminate this pain like ten thousand insects devouring bones, but I understand very well, even if you take revenge, this pain will not only not be eliminated, but will be aggravated, but if you don't take revenge, this pain will not be able to bear it now." Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Besides, Lin Longqing's clarification of his own reputation didn't rely on me to tarnish my father's reputation?
Qin Tianxiong's face became even more heavy when he heard this, and Cao Shupeng sneered and said: "Lin Gongzi, as far as I know, you are just a country boy, and being accepted by Lin Longqing as a righteous son is also a step to the sky, how beautiful did you be when the Chang'an Beggars Gang sacrificed? At this moment, Lin Longqing can no longer cover you, why? Some are not used to it? I know that you have a heart for the Kuangyi Gang, and you don't have to be embarrassed, if you want to be the leader of this gang, you can take it back with your ability, why bother looking for a bunch of high-sounding reasons?"
Lin Jianlan's whole body trembled when he heard this, but he didn't look at him, just stared at Cao Yinyin's eyes as clear as ice and said, "I'm talking to the gang leader, what's the matter with you?" Yin Yin, that's right, my grandmother and I are just ordinary people in the countryside of Liaodong, but because of the benevolence of a thought to save the Lin gang leader, but because of this, we were involved in your enmity, and now my grandmother's whereabouts are unknown, and I don't know if this only relative who raised me since childhood is still alive in this world, if it is revenge, what should I do? Which one should I go to? Now Uncle Qing has lost his ancestral inheritance and the affection of his closest relatives, and the leader of the gang does not know where to drift, isn't it enough?"
Cao Shupeng was sarcastically ridiculed by him in front of the hall masters, he was angry, and was about to refute, but was stopped by Qin Tianxiong with his eyes, Cao Yinyin said: "Mrs. Fang Caiwan's farce of seeking revenge for her daughter, I have seen that Lin Gongzi is really a gentleman with an open heart, but unfortunately you don't take revenge, and it can't just make me as generous as you." Although Lin Gongzi's grandmother has no news because of Dr. Cheng, it is because my mother brought you to Jiangnan, if you change your mind, you will seek revenge from me. After that, he glanced at Lin Jianlan's surroundings a few times, and said, "Deputy gang leader, Lin Gongzi doesn't seem to have a sword to bear, which of you can borrow him." ”
Lin Jianlan froze in place, listening to her speak in a cold tone, without the slightest emotion, it seemed that he had already seen this vendetta as commonplace, and saw Qin Tianxiong standing up from his seat with a frown, his expression was extremely solemn, and he said secretly: "Oh, it turns out that he is the deputy gang leader, no wonder, his status is naturally much higher than before under Uncle Qing." But he heard him say: "My subordinates have never relied on a pair of fleshy palms, and they have never carried any blades around them." After that, he looked at Cao Shupeng.
Cao Shupeng said: "Those who practice swords have always kept their swords from their bodies, and I can't borrow them." The others were embarrassed and silent.
Lin Jianlan didn't know what to do, I'm afraid he couldn't find out anything about this trip, although he has been trying his best to act calmly, but he will inevitably have a youthful temperament, even if he doesn't want to do it, he doesn't want to walk out of the door of the Kuangyi Gang in disgrace, so that people can laugh at it, and I am afraid that he will be looked down upon by Cao Yinyin. Bi gritted his teeth and smiled: "That brother's long sword is very good, just borrow it and use it." ”
Cao Yinyin said: "Although Lin Gongzi is trusted, but I don't want to beat you with the sharp weapon in my hand, the ordinary long sword is like scrap iron for me, and I need to be cautious, deputy gang leader, please take Lin Gongzi to the treasury to choose a blade to take advantage of, so as not to spread it out and make people say that we are not victorious." ”
Lin Jianlan looked at her attitude as if he had to force himself to compete with her, what was ridiculous, what kind of revenge did he seek from her? Just as the abbot of Tanzong said, everything came to such a point due to fate, and it seemed that everyone had some responsibility and could not be completely pushed on one person. Part of the reason why my grandmother lost her news was because she trusted Dr. Cheng too much and asked him to bring her grandmother to Jiangnan.
Lin Jianlan saw that Qin Tianxiong had turned around and walked out of the door, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he had to look back at Cao Yinyin and hurriedly followed.
He used to pass by the treasury often, and the iron general guarded the door all the year round, and he was not allowed to enter, and at that time he just thought that there might be how many gold, silver, jewelry, and martial arts secrets were placed here, like a treasure house, not to mention how much he wanted to go in and see. At this moment, Lin Jianlan silently watched Qin Tianxiong's back fiddling in front of the door of the warehouse, but he couldn't tell the bitterness, he didn't know how to get to this point today, he actually wanted to meet Yin Yin's blade for no reason, he only felt extremely ridiculous.
Qin Tianxiong had already opened the door at this time, sideways to the side, his face was as usual, he couldn't see what he thought about this upcoming fight, Lin Jianlan had to walk in sullenly, sure enough, there was a smell of dust in front of him, and after a cursory look, the placement near the door was very messy, and then he walked inside, and gradually he could see some order, not as jeweled as he imagined in the past.
At the end are some of the altars and jars that are placed in different categories, presumably some medicinal materials that are difficult to start on weekdays, and a number of books are placed on the right side, and if you look closely, it is not a secret, but also a very ordinary mental fist and the like, the order of arrangement is slightly different from the ordinary arrangement, not the boxing method is placed in one place, and the swordsmanship is placed in one place so classified, but it is arranged according to the advanced level of martial arts, as if you can see the way a person learns martial arts, and the books he has seen.
This kind of arrangement is somewhat familiar, Lin Jianlan thought about it for a while and suddenly realized, when he first came to Jiangnan, he saw that Uncle Qing's bookshelves were arranged like this in the water pavilion, and it turned out that they were all arranged by Lin Hongfeng daily.
After Lin Hongfeng left, this warehouse was no longer taken care of, so the stacking of items at the door was disorderly, and the dust seemed to call for a long time here.
Turning his head to the side again, there was a scroll more than a foot high on the top of the bar, Lin Jianlan looked at it slightly, some were martial arts maps, and some were calligraphy and paintings. At the corners of the strip were more than a dozen long weapons, some of which were so strange in shape that they could not be named. Along the wall, there are all kinds of blades hanging on the wall, until they are lined up to the door, Lin Jianlan looked up, most of them were swords, and some were like swords and not swords, like knives and not knives, but he didn't realize that he walked to the door again, and he didn't pick out a blade, he was hesitating, and suddenly stumbled under his feet, and looked down, but two paper shafts were randomly placed in the corner of the wall and kicked by himself.
One of the paper scrolls rolled to the ground and then slowly unfolded, and then stopped for a moment, revealing half a word, Lin Jianlan looked at it but his heart moved, although it was half a word, he could already see the fierce murderous spirit broke out of the paper, vigorous and heroic, the iron hook and steel stroke as if to carve out the mark of this paper, it was the pair written by Lin Longqing hanging on Kuang Yi Hall, carefully spread out and placed, "Ten zhang soft red dust, happy and enmity; ”
Lin Jianlan couldn't help but have hot eyes, and sighed secretly: "Uncle Qing, where do you have any pleasure?" Roll up the shaft, but he was a little puzzled by the one next to him, thinking that these two were rolled up and down separately, but it didn't seem to be. I felt heavier in my hand than the one just now, and hurriedly spread it out curiously, but it was a pair of words and phrases, but the strokes were very different, and the font was not elegant and beautiful, but it was ethereal and dusty, and there was no fighting spirit, but every pen was filled with a reluctant momentum, and it seemed to be infinitely attached to it, it seemed that this was the pair that Yue Lingfeng had said that the master inscribed. The comparison between the two compartments is really difficult to distinguish between the good and the bad, although Uncle Qing's one is more suitable for a big gang, and he feels that the latter one is more of a good character.
This roll was pushed by Lin Jianlan on the spot, but it was full of stamina, and it rolled far before stopping, Lin Jianlan was about to roll up this couplet, and saw that the head of the roll was not made of an ordinary log shaft, but was wrapped around a sword, and he was stunned, and suddenly heard Qin Tianxiong outside: "Lin Gongzi can choose it?" Knowing that he had stayed in this warehouse for too long, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly ran a few steps to take out the long sword with the winding head and hold it in his hand, and went out of the door without looking, and said: " I've been delaying for too long, and I've been waiting for a long time for Deputy Gang Leader Lao Qin, so let's leave it at that. ”
