Wei Suxin was stunned for a moment, and said, "There is still such a thing? I don't know, maybe your father is afraid that you will be burdened and you will send someone to take it away, right?"

Lin Jianlan pondered for a moment and said: "Perhaps, alas, it is already an old thing, it is useless to think too much, and the younger generation will retire first." After saying that, he turned around, and within a dozen feet, someone had already greeted him from the side, but it was the Qingke who had sent him over before, holding a lantern in his hand, and said respectfully: "Send Lin Gongzi back to the hospital." Lin Jianlan was quite uncomfortable, and said, "I'll just go back by myself, why bother you to wait here for a long time?"

The Qingke smiled: "There are many courtyards in the Kao Mansion, even if the guests who live for a month are often lost, if they go to the wrong place, the guests and hosts will be embarrassed, and they can't afford to be in the bottom, so it's better to lead the way in the bottom." After that, Lin Jianlan was not allowed to argue again, and walked forward with the lantern.

Lin Jianlan followed behind him, seeing the light shining on the ground in front of him, flickering and moving, and said secretly: "What he said is not unreasonable, such a mansion, and a mysterious master like Chaosong, there must be some secrets that no one wants to know, and the guests seem to have received extremely thoughtful hospitality in the mansion, but in fact, they are all under his control, and they will not go to places where they shouldn't go and see things they shouldn't see." ”

Just thinking about it, he saw that the Qingke stopped, raised his eyes to look at a courtyard behind the shadow of the tree, and it was extremely quiet under the pale white moonlight, Lin Jianlan knew it, and thanked the man to step in, but saw that Lin Longqing's room was still dimly lit, and the figure was lonely, his heart was hot, and he hurriedly walked in, and said, "Uncle Qing!"

Lin Longqing has been sitting alone and waiting, the cup of tea in front of him has long been brewed and has lost its color, Lin Jianlan hurriedly re-brewed it, looked out again, and then closed the door and turned around and sat down.

Lin Longqing showed appreciation on his face, and said: "Although I haven't been separated from you for a long time, it's like I haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's different from before, the rivers and lakes really have experienced people." ”

Lin Jianlan blushed and said: "What's the matter, I came out to walk alone, Uncle Qing must have heard about the matter of the beggar gang from Brother Yue and Hall Master Fang, I was too arrogant, but I handled it like that, I'm afraid I will embarrass Uncle Qing." ”

Lin Longqing's face darkened slightly, and said: "This is inevitable, let's not talk about these things first, you will tell me everything along the way, this Wei Huawang, if I see it well, it is the one who came to report the news when the Imperial Kou Division attacked the Kuangyi Gang before, and it seems that he has already known you, what is the reason?"

Lin Jianlan said: "What Uncle Qing said is right, I have also seen his figure a few times to be familiar, and I carefully recalled the sound of his voice before I remembered, speaking of which, does Uncle Qing know? He actually has a lot of connections with my father." Lin Longqing listened silently beside him, and when the words fell, the red candles on the table had already burned out, leaving a bunch of candle tears stacked with grievances, and the window was slightly white.

After listening to this narrative, Lin Longqing didn't know where to start, he really couldn't imagine that Lin Jianlan had experienced so many twists and turns in just these days, let alone that Lin Jianlan had accidentally detected Lin Xiaoyu's words, and after thinking for a long time, Fang said: "Lan'er, do you know why this Wei Suxin is called 'Kao'?"

Lin Jianlan said: "Isn't it that the peony flowers in his mansion are extraordinary, and they are so beautiful?"

Lin Longqing shook his head and said: "It's not as simple as you said, everyone can raise peonies, and there are countless famous florists in Luoyang and Heze, but this Wei Suxin is the only one who dares to call 'Kao'." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Is there any allusion to this?"

Lin Longqing said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it can be regarded as an allusion, more than ten years ago, it was also famous all over the world, but now most people only remember the Kao event, but they are not very clear about the origin of the word 'Kao'." In the winter of that year, there was a lot of snow, your father once said, the Empress Wu went against the sky, but it was also good, in the season when the stove was still too cold, the Empress Wu suddenly wanted to watch the peony bloom, and ordered some famous florists around to send flowers, you think about it, that solar term, what flowers will bloom in the snow?"

Lin Jianlan said: "I heard something similar when I was six or seven years old, but I didn't say that, saying that the Empress Wu made the flowers bloom in winter, and the Hundred Flowers Fairy were afraid of her majesty and opened one after another, only the Peony Fairy did not obey, so the Empress Wu hated the peony very much, and ordered Chang'an and Luoyang not to be planted. ”

Lin Longqing "haha" smiled and said: "This is a folk legend, you have come to Luoyang in person now, can it be the same as in the legend? Empress Wu actually loved peonies very much, at that time all the florists were helpless, but there was a person who recommended himself, so that the peony in the palace was in full bloom in three days, and the Empress Wu was overjoyed, and he personally named the 'King of Flowers', and gave this house. ”

Lin Jianlan was surprised: "Is that person the predecessor of Ransong, how did he do it?"

Lin Longqing said: "If it is not difficult to promote the opening of peonies with internal force, it is effortless for first-class masters to do it, but this method is also fast, in fact, it is extremely harmful to the flower plant itself, and it belongs to the method of killing chickens and taking eggs." But presumably he has a deep understanding of some solid foundation and cultivation of the yuan, supplemented by fertilizer, so that the flowers bloom for three days without thanks, and there is no abnormality after that, which is quite difficult, and the name of "Kao" comes from this. ”

Lin Jianlan nodded, and listened to Lin Longqing again: "Look at the scale of his Huawang Mansion, all the people he uses are deeply hidden, and the current saint is not an ignorant person, and he still can't fully believe in Yun Mengzhi, but he gives Wei Suxin such an honor, and allows him to recruit all kinds of useful people from the three sects and nine streams so much, isn't it too weird?"

Lin Jianlan was stunned and said, "What ......does Uncle Qing mean?"

Lin Longqing said: "People will always change, just like your father, Wei Suxin may not be able to." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "If he has this heart, why does he deliberately do things under King Liang with such an identity?"

Lin Longqing said: "There will always be a day after the martial queen, after that day, who will hold the power, the Ninety-Five King Liang may not have a share, and it will also be good for Wei Suxin." His identity has always been a mystery, and it would not be surprising if he also befriended some noble prince surnamed Li. Seeing Lin Jianlan's puzzled face, he sighed again: "Okay, it's not our turn to worry about this matter, if Lan'er still wants to ask something from him, you still have to be careful, you always know his true identity, but the Empress Wu may not know." ”

Lin Jianlan nodded and said, "I'm afraid I will have to stay here for a few more days, he is the only one who has anything to do with my parents, Uncle Qing, I just care about telling you about me, you ...... What happened when I wasn't in Hangzhou?"

But seeing that Lin Longqing was silent, he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Does Uncle Qing know about the matter of the Master of the Ten Thousand Hall? Where did Zhang Protector and the others go? I'm ......."

Lin Longqing shook his hand and interrupted: "Lan'er, don't worry, it's just a thousand things, I don't know where to start, and sometimes I often think, maybe I shouldn't let you get involved, I still feel upset in the face of this mess, let alone you?"

Lin Jianlan said: "I have experienced so much myself, and Uncle Qing also understands that withdrawing from it is not something that can be done if you want to. Anyway, Uncle Qing's business is my business. ”

Lin Longqing said: "Actually, there is nothing special, everything is developing according to what I want." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Uncle Qing is too dangerous this time. ”

Lin Longqing smiled proudly and said: "If you don't muddy the water, some people will always not be able to get out." After such a fuss, isn't it clear what people have in mind?" After a pause, he got up and opened the window and said: "After thinking about things carefully, I can understand what I can do and what I can't do, I still miss my sister and Yin Yin, and I can't treat them as enemies, what's the point of being entangled like this for a long time? It's better to let go while the chaos is chaotic, and I can get out of it and track it down with peace of mind." ”

"But you actually let Qin Tianxiong go, it doesn't look like Uncle Qing did it. Lin Jianlan said.

Lin Longqing frowned and said: "In vain, I once trusted him so much, but I didn't expect it to be him, I let him go not because I didn't care, but because he really cared for Yin Yin, and secondly, Yin Yin is a girl's family, how to serve the public? Kuang Yi Gang is now indispensable for a person who can suppress the scene, my sister has never returned to the Hangzhou main hall, and many things inside and outside have to rely on him to explain to Yin Yin." ”

Lin Jianlan listened to what he said as if he had seen it himself, and knew that Lin Longqing must still be extremely uneasy in his heart, and he sent someone to spy on him secretly, and said: "It's just that I went back to Hangzhou this time, and Cao Shupeng is also in the help, and his status is not low, so he may not be sincere to Yin Yin." ”

Lin Longqing sneered and said: "I have long seen through him, he is a thief with a thief's heart but not a thief's guts, his ability is quite limited, his martial arts attainments are mediocre, and he can't stir up any huge waves, and Yin Yin seems to be quite wary of him." ”

Lin Jianlan recalled Yin Yin's words in the wind and sand on Luoyang Road, and said secretly: "This is not bad, Yin Yin also knows that Cao Shupeng has other plans." Thinking that Yin Yin was alone, but there was no one around him who could rest assured, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and listened to Lin Longqing say: "How can you see that Qin Tianxiong is wrong?"

Lin Jianlan said: "What to see, it's just a secret guess, he has always been unscrupulous in his words before, pretending to be arrogant, since he became a doctor, I feel that his words have increased, but it sounds extremely reasonable, especially what we heard outside the door that night, the analysis is reasonable, and it always implies that Uncle Qing has the meaning of not being able to tolerate people." He took another sip of tea, and after a night of sleep, he became more and more energetic, and said: "Besides, although my apprentice is not educated by him, he still has the love of master and apprentice, I travel alone, what will Uncle Qing do?"

Lin Longqing said with a smile: "I understand what you mean, if you are really worried about you, I am afraid that finding out the truth will be secondary, you must be taken care of first, don't be strong, safety is important." ”

Lin Jianlan nodded and said, "He only told me not to live up to the trust of the gang leader, and I must make it clear." In his heart, my martial arts are low, my internal skills are mediocre, and I am unwilling to study hard, how can I have such a great ability with a few catties and a few taels? Looking at his tone, I can't hope that I will not be in the help for a while. ”

Lin Longqing said: "Yes, later I sent Fang and Yue out, and he didn't dissuade him, so I probably have a bottom." If a person has a desire for success and profit, it is easy to show flaws, and he made a move soon after they left, but it was only because you expected him to take action in advance, so that the hall master and them came back early, so that they could catch up with the day of the incident. ”

At the mention of this, Lin Longqing's face was sad again, and his eyes were extremely sad, Lin Jianlan didn't know why, and said: "Kuangyi Gang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how can there be so many manpower in the Jade Sword Gate, and fellow people in the rivers and lakes will not sit idly by." ”

Lin Longqing said: "Yin Yin is very smart, and invited a few famous people in the rivers and lakes to do notarization, and made a gambling contract with me, she is out of three, I am out of three, and the two winners of the three games are the winners, if I win, she will never step into the Kuangyi Gang like her mother, if I lose, then the Kuangyi Gang will be controlled by her." ”

Lin Jianlan sighed secretly and said, "Fortunately, the bet is only on the Kuangyi Gang, if it is accompanied by Uncle Qing's life, wouldn't it be bad?"

Lin Longqing seemed to see his thoughts, and said: "She came to the door in a grand manner, and she will definitely do everything decently and fairly, so the bet is only limited to the Kuangyi Gang." The revenge of killing my father is a personal grudge, and it has nothing to do with the belonging of the Kuangyi Gang, although she just came to make a gambling contract, I have to agree, otherwise it will make the people in the rivers and lakes laugh at me for being stingy and incompetent, and I dare not respond to the battle of a junior. ”

Lin Jianlan said curiously: "It's just that the main hall is full of talents, and if she and the people in the Jade Sword Sect want to win, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

Lin Longqing sighed, and said with a deep sadness in his eyes: "That's true, it's just a three-game competition, Qin Tianxiong has already treated him as if he lost that game, and Yin Yin will definitely pick me to fight, so I can lose this game with only a little relaxation." However, the change is here, I have already made arrangements, Fang and Yue came back, so that something happened, which really caught me off guard. ”

Hearing Lin Longqing say the word "change", Lin Jianlan suddenly remembered the shocking blood cloth wound medicine in the residence in Yangzhou, and his heart twitched, which could make Lin Longqing so sad, I am afraid that some of the few people around him were seriously injured, and hurriedly asked: "What happened?"

Lin Longqing was silent for a long time before he exhaled heavily and said, "We are here now, and I will leave the Kawang Mansion when it is dark, and you can go with me to have a look." ”

Lin Jianlan saw that he stopped talking abruptly, and looked reluctant to mention it again, and felt that the meaning of his words was always related to his letting Fang and Yue come back early, so he had to keep silent, Lin Longqing saw that he was embarrassed, and instead said: "Lan'er doesn't need to think about it, how did things become like this, no one can ask from him, I just hope that he can confide a few words when you go." ”

The more Lin Longqing said this, the more anxious Lin Jianlan became, what "like this", "he" and which one was it, he didn't know what was going on, so he had to agree, and asked again: "To be honest, I never thought I could see Uncle Qing here, it seems that you also have a lot of doubts about this Wei Huawang, why did you still come?"
