Lu Man said: "Are you still seeing us? It's just that you can't be idle here, Hangzhou is one of the ten beggars, and there is an accident in the head hall of the Kuangyi Gang, if you say that the beggars have so many eyeliners who don't know the whereabouts of your father-in-law, it can't be said, you'd better visit Zhu Protector here first, if he can help inquire, it will also get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Lin Jianlan stared at Lu Man and said secretly: "I didn't think of this, I will only be in a hurry, Sister Man is indeed much more mature and stable than me." Lu Man showed him embarrassment, and said angrily: "My brother's apology is too insincere, and I can't entertain us well when I ask for help, but I ran back angry and hungry!"

Lin Jianlan hurriedly said: "It's me who deserves to die, this meal will be made by me, and the two of you will come and go in a hurry, and persuade them to be both to catch the wind and to eat!"

Although Lin Jianlan had lived in Hangzhou for a long time before, he couldn't go out casually because of the control, and he didn't know much about the restaurants and restaurants on the market, but Lu Man heard about a more elegant and well-known place, with Lu Man in the middle of the coquettish voice to convince him, although Bai Zongping occasionally ridiculed Lin Jianlan, but his face was quite passable.

After eating happily, Lin Jianlan said goodbye to Lu Man and Bai Zongping at the crossroads, and saw the two figures gone, and could vaguely hear Lu Man's anger or laughter, until a cool breeze blew on his face, he blew away the reluctance in his heart a little, and slowly walked towards the place where he stayed.

Lin Jianlan nodded, but saw that the shopkeeper's face instantly became respectful, and said, "Someone has changed the room for the guest officer, please come with the little one." After saying that, Lin Jianlan was extremely puzzled, and he was a little angry in his heart, and said secretly: "This shopkeeper doesn't know the rules too much, how can he change the guest's room casually?"

The shopkeeper walked to a room, pushed open the door, and stood sideways by the door, Lin Jianlan felt that the light was burning in the house before opening the door, and the door was open at this moment, and the situation inside was clearly seen, and a girl in plain clothes lay on the table under the jumping candlelight, as if she had fallen asleep, and the long hair tied up by the gold ring hung straight down, maybe under this dim lamp, her face could show a trace of warmth, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.

Although Lin Jianlan was extremely surprised in his heart, he couldn't help but lament and be sad when he saw this scene, and said secretly: "In her sleep, she won't be that cold as frost, but she is still frowning, has she always been so worried over the years?" Thinking of this, he felt that Yin Yin was somewhat similar to his own experience, he also lost his father, but his character seemed to be much more cowardly, so he accepted that his father had done such a shameful thing before, and forcibly stopped pursuing his whereabouts. Yin Yin, on the other hand, still refuses to admit that such a thin body has been seeking answers.

"After that confrontation in the court, didn't I also resent Cao Shujian for being an eagle dog of the imperial court? Now that I have helped Xie Zhongju and Brother Yuan to persuade the rebels in Taihu Lake, what can I say? Which of the martial arts people who gathered in Taihu Lake did not hate the imperial court and wanted to make a big move? If they knew, I am afraid they would also scold me and hate me, right?" Lin Jianlan only stood silently at the door, his mind was complicated, and when he saw some precious external medicine on the table, he couldn't help but say softly: "Yin Yin." ”

Cao Yinyin didn't wake up, Lin Jianlan only felt that the figure in front of him flickered, standing outside the door, it was Qin Tianxiong, the current deputy gang leader of the Kuangyi Gang, who had been guarding Cao Yinyin in the house, and he didn't speak when he went out at the moment, only quietly closed the door, and then said softly: "Dealing with the affairs of the gang every day is too tiring for her, if Lin Gongzi doesn't mind, let the gang leader take a break here." ”

Lin Jianlan knew that the door had been closed, but he still glanced at it, turned around and said, "Deputy Gang Leader Qin, why are you here with Gang Leader Cao?"

Qin Tianxiong said: "During the day, Gongzi Lin was stabbed by Mrs. Wan, and he fought with the helper, but before he could deal with it, the helper was relieved, so he asked me to find some wound medicine to visit, but I never thought that Gongzi Lin was still outside at such a time." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Thank you two for your concern, there is no big problem in the wound, this love and righteousness are received, please take back this wound medicine, it is getting late, Cao Gang Leader is inconvenient here, please go back." As soon as the words fell, the door had already opened, and Cao Yinyin was standing in the room, obviously being woken up by the two, his face was particularly tired, but he did not show any displeasure with Lin Jianlan's cold words, and said straight to Qin Tianxiong: "Deputy Gang Leader Qin, I want to talk to Lin Gongzi alone, please stay outside the door for a while." The tone was not allowed to be refuted by Qin Tianxiong, and he didn't ask Lin Jianlan whether he agreed or not, and walked straight into the house again.

Lin Jianlan glanced back at Qin Tianxiong, and saw that his calm face at the moment showed a little uneasiness and worry, and he didn't know what was going on with the two of them, so he walked into the house in confusion, and saw that Cao Yinyin was already sitting at the table, so he had to turn around and cover the door, thought about it, and gently pushed it outward, leaving a thin slit, before striding in, also sitting at the table, waiting for Cao Yinyin to speak.

After waiting for a long time, Cao Yinyin didn't speak, but Lin Jianlan couldn't sit still, and just about to speak, Cao Yinyin said: "Lin Gongzi, when you had a duel today, the internal force in your body that was originally balanced by yin and yang suddenly rose sharply, so you still have scruples in your heart, but right?"

Lin Jianlan was surprised: "Yes, after the competition, the yang energy gradually calmed down. ”

Cao Yinyin said: "Lin Gongzi doesn't need to worry, if you practice this internal force of the body can't meet yin and yang, and meet yang and yin, what kind of reconciliation kung fu can be regarded as it? ”

Lin Jianlan knew that in the martial arts, one step away was easier said than done, but it was extremely difficult, and the last heavy heaven was more laborious than all the previous accumulations combined, and it was extremely dangerous, and this step fell into the abyss if he was a little careless, and nodded and said: "Thank you for the guidance of the Cao Gang Master." ”

Cao Yinyin said: "Why say thank you, Lin Gongzi is very talented, and when you calm down, you can have some experience after a little thought and review, I have said more." ”

Lin Jianlan saw that her face was slightly softened, and said with a glimmer of hope: "Gang Master Cao, your uncle's business...... Can't you get rid of it after all?"

Cao Yinyin said: "Young Master Lin, you and I have different positions, and what we see and think is naturally different. ”

Lin Jianlan said: "But facts are always facts, and Uncle Qing also said that Chief Manager Cao once persuaded him to do things for the court in person." ”

Cao Yinyin continued: "You believe what he said because he is your father-in-law, if there is no such relationship, how can you judge that what he said to the people in the rivers and lakes is the truth?"

Lin Jianlan hurriedly said: "Isn't the father and son of the black-clothed team also able to testify? besides, that letter is indeed a false accusation......

Cao Yinyin sneered and said: "This is even more ridiculous, I don't think what the black-clothed team said is a lie, but what if my father was also deceived and suffered from it? That letter, if it is really Lin Longqing's incriminating evidence? Lin Gongzi should not think about his own authorities, this farce passed, my father was ruined and died in the gang, Lin Longqing returned to the Kuangyi Gang, washed away the stigma, and got rid of the threatening opponents, but he benefited the most. ”

Lin Jianlan was stunned by what she said, but he didn't know how to refute it, and if he continued to argue like this, he was afraid that he would quarrel, Cao Yinyin said again: "Lin Gongzi, in fact, you don't need to be involved in this mess of grievances in our family, wouldn't it be good to withdraw and be nosy?"

Lin Jianlan said: "Uncle Qing has a life-saving kindness to me, and I can't ignore it." ”

Cao Yinyin sighed: "That's all I have to say, in fact, the two of us should also understand that we can't convince each other, and it's useless to talk about this matter again, I also know that Lin Gongzi will not leave Hangzhou for the time being in order to find out Lin Longqing's whereabouts in the short term, what I can do is not send someone to follow you to find out Lin Longqing's whereabouts." ”

Lin Jianlan smiled bitterly and said, "I can't thank you more for this." ”

The two became silent again, Lin Jianlan secretly raised his eyes and glanced over, and saw that her clothes seemed to be different from Bai Ri, but she was still dressed as a heavy filial piety, and her expression was cold, but Cao Yinyin suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Jianlan, Lin Jianlan avoided her eyes in a panic and said, "Why are you wearing a heavy filial piety?"

Cao Yinyin didn't expect him to ask this question, so he was stunned for a moment and said, "My grandfather died." ”

Lin Jianlan let out an "oh" and said secretly: "Tang Yan once said that Yin Yin was very loved and valued by her grandfather since she and her aunt returned to the Jade Sword Gate, but her grandfather also passed away, and the blow was really not small. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her secretly, but I heard Cao Yinyin get up and say: "Lin Gongzi, aside from anything else, I don't have any hatred for you, but I always feel sorry, I don't know if Lin Gongzi blamed me and my mother." ”

Lin Jianlan looked up in amazement, and saw Cao Yinyin's two inquiring eyes looking at him, his eyes were clear, and he couldn't help but shake his head, Cao Yinyin said: "I'll leave, if Gongzi Lin doesn't care, maybe he will come to visit often, Miss Wan's matter, I have heard a little since I was a child, and I have already instructed my subordinates to go to the Chang'an area to inform the nearby hall master to send someone to inquire, hoping that she is all right." Then he walked to the door.

Lin Jianlan didn't expect that she was still concerned about Wanxiu's affairs, so she hurriedly stood up and took a few steps and said, "Yin Yin...... I—I'm so grateful that you care so much. ”

Cao Yinyin saw that the door was not closed, stunned for a moment, opened the door, turned around and said, "You don't have to thank me, deep in my heart, I don't want to care about the girl Wan you are worried about." Deputy Gang Leader Qin, let's go. After speaking, he went downstairs, leaving Lin Jianlan alone outside the door for a long time, I don't know why the two of them came here, turned around and entered the house, and saw a bunch of wound medicine on the table, if it was specially to send these things, there was no need for the helper and the deputy helper to come here in person, and the short conversation with Cao Yinyin did not involve anything important, then the last sentence Cao Yinyin said made Lin Jianlan's heart pound, I don't know what she meant.

Lin Jianlan approached the candlelight to look at it, and saw that the packaging was very exquisite and elegant, and the words "Lin Jianlan Taiqi" were written on the face, and he hurriedly pulled out the letter, but it was an invitation, the face of Mosha rustled in his hand, and there was a faint silver light in the candlelight, and a blooming peony at his feet, and he opened it and wrote: "Late spring is coming, the early summer is fine, invite you to visit Luoyang after half a month, enjoy the flowers and visit the beauty, talk about martial arts, isn't it happy?" Looking at it carefully, the payment is "Kao Mansion Suxinke", Lin Jianlan said secretly: "This Suxinke seems to be the person who posted the invitation, what is the place of Kao Mansion? Ah, wait, Sister Man just said 'Kao Extravaganza', is this what she said?"

Lin Jianlan took the invitation in his hand and looked at it over and over again, and became more and more sure that this was the hard-to-find invitation that Lu Man proposed, but why it was sent to his residence, and this was a temporary place to stay, it was really incredible. I didn't have any reputation, and I didn't have any interest in the so-called "Kao Festival", but I easily got the invitation, I only felt weird and inexplicable, but I couldn't solve it because I was confused, so I had to reload the invitation, and poured some hot water to clean the wound.

The scar was not very deep, but it was not bandaged in time, and it was stuck to the clothes, and Lin Jianlan, who was in pain when he tore it, bared his teeth and complained bitterly, but he was more sober, and said secretly in his heart while applying the wound medicine: "Sister Man, they went to Chang'an, but they didn't know that this 'Kao Festival' was in Luoyang, I'm afraid it would take a lot of trouble, or not, if Brother Yuan came back from Taihu Lake, I would go to Luoyang once, and give them the invitation, which can be regarded as a return of kindness." ”

There are too many things in his heart, Lin Jianlan got up and cleaned up before dawn, the wound medicine sent by Cao Yinyin was really effective, and it was much better, and he quietly breathed in the house for a while, and then went downstairs, seeing that the shopkeeper had already settled the accounts at the counter, and saw Lin Jianlan going downstairs, he hurriedly walked out and said, "What do you use for the guest officer?"

Lin Jianlan said: "No need, I still have to bother the shopkeeper to change my house back to the original one, I can't afford to live in such an expensive room." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "This is the industry of the gang, since Lin Gongzi is a distinguished guest arranged by the deputy helper, he naturally wants to live in the best, as for the house money, there is no way to talk about it, how dare the small one accept you?"

Lin Jianlan said secretly: "It turns out that it is the property of Kuangyi Gang to pick casually, Uncle Qing is not here, and I can't spend more, if I save this money, it would be good." He no longer insisted on it, nodded and went out, and I don't know if Zhu Chenghong will still remember the matter of breaking into the battle and grabbing the bell that day, although it is not good to be empty-handed, but the protector who visited the beggar gang seemed to have the intention of giving alms with gifts, and it was not a proper system, and he hesitated outside the door again and again before running to the beggar gang.
