Chapter 109: See the Seams
Lin Zhiyuan shook the folding fan in his hand, got up and walked not far behind Ye Shuying, and said, "Toast or not, this is your own choice." β
Ye Shuying said: "No wonder you want to invite me here, it turns out that you have this intention." β
Lin Zhiyuan said: "It's good to treat you here, lest my naughty sister come and spoil you and my Yaxing again." β
Ye Shuying said: "Lin Zhiyuan, Hong'er is not in the hands of the Le Xian Sect Elder, and you don't know her whereabouts, right?"
Lin Zhiyuan smiled: "Oh, I don't know why you said this?"
Ye Shuying also smiled and said: "Jiang Ting asked you to deal with the Lexian Sect, it has nothing to do with me, whether I go or not will not affect your work, but why do you have to cooperate with me? If Hong'er is really in the hands of the elders of the Lexian Sect, you don't need to pull me at all." The reason why you want to keep me is because you don't know Hong'er's whereabouts, and you want to lead her to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain through me. β
Lin Zhiyuan said: "Do you really think so? Then I want to ask you how sure you are of this kind of inference? If you really don't save her, do you really want to gamble with her life?"
Ye Shuying was silent, he was just guessing, he was really not sure about his guess, plus he cared about it, thinking of the two figures he saw in the bottomless pit, a man and a woman, he still believed Lin Zhiyuan's words a little. The only thing he can be sure of now is that Shen Yuhong is with an old man, but it is unknown whether the old man is friend or foe.
Lin Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, my mission this time is to destroy the Le Immortal Sect within a month, whether you cooperate with me or not, I am imperative, and I will definitely succeed immediately, and I will make the Le Immortal Sect disappear in this world." β
Ye Shuying said: "Other gangs are just subdued, why do you want to eliminate this Lexian faction?"
Lin Zhiyuan said: "It's just because Jiang Ting, the demon voice of the Lexian faction, is also very jealous, and more importantly, the people of the Lexian faction should not offend Yu Ji. Although the two masters and apprentices (Hua Qian, Yu Tianyang) who offended Yu Ji were dead, Jiang Ting still refused to let go of the Le Xian faction. Ye Shuying, you can be regarded as a talent, I have long had the intention of befriending you, but although you are lonely and arrogant, you have refused to accept my affection again and again, even if I marry my only sister to you, you don't want to be with me. If it weren't for Jiang Ting's words that I wouldn't allow me to hurt your life in the first place, do you think you would still be alive until now?"
Ye Shuying smiled: "It seems that I still have to thank him, and thank you for listening to him so much." β
Lin Zhiyuan sneered and said, "If you want to leave tonight, it's okay, but should you leave something?" I, Lin Zhiyuan, have never been in the business of discounting capital, since I have invested in you, I naturally want to earn it back with interest. β
Ye Shuying said with a smile: "What you said is reasonable...... Fang was about to say something more, a guard came over, bowed to Lin Zhiyuan, and arched his hand and said: "Master, Mr. Tu Yunshan of Xiaogu Mountain is here to visit, you see ......"
Lin Zhiyuan said: "It's so late, what is he doing here?" Okay to entertain, let him wait for a while, and I will arrive later." β
The guard said, "Yes." He was about to retreat, but saw a middle-aged man in his early forties with an entourage who had walked to the courtyard on his own, with a graceful demeanor and a loud laugh, and said: "I heard that Lin Gongzi held a banquet here to entertain friends to drink and admire the moon, but it was so Yaxing, so I came over by myself and made this friend." I don't know if this friend is ......"
Lin Zhiyuan hurriedly waved his hand and gestured, and the more than ten guards put away their weapons and stood on both sides.
Tu Yunshan had already walked to Lin Zhiyuan's side as he spoke, and Lin Zhiyuan had no choice but to arch his hand and say, "Mr. Tu, I don't know what happened to visit the office late at night?"
Tu Yunshan hugged his fists and said: "My old man has an attack on the old disease, which is more and more powerful than before, and he has seen a few famous doctors, but it has no effect, and I just heard an old man say that there is an elixir hidden in the house, called 'Gou Yu Pushan Pill', Tu came today to ask Lin Gongzi for medicine." Qu Yue ......"
The entourage behind Tu Yunshan stepped forward with a gift box, bowed down, and said, "Please Lin Gongzi smile." β
Lin Zhiyuan hesitated a little and said, "I have heard of Old Man Qu suffering from a stubborn disease, but I don't know what Mr. Tu is ......."
Tu Yunshan said: "This is a white jade lion that Tu got by chance in the past years from the hands of Master Liu, a famous craftsman in the Tang Dynasty. β
Lin Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Mr. Tu is so polite, we have been old neighbors for decades, and Old Man Qu is a person respected by his father during his lifetime, and now Old Man Qu is unfortunate to be ill, I should have brought medicine to visit, how can I ask for your jade lion?"
Tu Yunshan opened the lid of the gift box, revealing a crystal clear jade lion, Ye Shuying took a look, only to see that the jade lion was transparent and transparent, and even the hair lines on his body were clearly visible, and the carving was extremely fine, which was really rare. Tu Yunshan said with a smile: "The little jade lion doesn't know if he can enter the eyes of Lin Gongzi?"
Lin Zhiyuan said: "Mr. Tu is filial to Qu Lao, and he is very moved, but the pill has been collected for a long time, and no one has taken it out and used it in the past few years, and I am afraid that it may not be able to find it for a while, so it is better to order someone to find it in the next place, and once it is found, he will immediately bring the medicine to the house in person, I don't know what Mr. Tu thinks?"
Tu Yunshan frowned slightly, and said, "I'm afraid that the old man won't be able to wait for a long time." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his cuff, put it on the gift box held by the attendant, and said, "This is the title deed of the twelve acres of peach forest in Jiangdong." If Tu remembers correctly, when Lin Gongzi visited the peach forest in the spring of the previous year, he was full of praise, saying that it was a good place. β
Lin Zhiyuan said with a smile: "It's a good place, it's a good place indeed." Since Mr. Tu is generous and beautiful, how can he not be anxious about what people are anxious about? Xiao Mo, go and talk to the chief manager, let him find out what the 'Gou Yu Pushan Pill' is, and take three pills and give them to Mr. Tu. He knows better than I know where these little things are. β
Tu Yunshan and his entourage were overjoyed when they heard this, and said, "Thank you Young Master Lin. β
Ye Shuying heard this and said secretly: "This person is bold, twelve acres of peach forest plus a white jade lion only exchanged for three pills, not only did he feel a loss, but he was very happy, but I don't know what kind of elixir made him so reckless......
Lin Zhiyuan raised his hand and said, "The two of you are polite." Xiao Mo, go ahead. β
Xiao Mo, the Lin family's guard, said, "Yes." Please come with me, both of you. β
Tu Yunshan took a closer look at Ye Shuying when he was leaving, it seemed that what he said about making friends was just a pretense, just an excuse to ask for medicine and was anxious to come to see Lin Zhiyuan.
Ye Shuying saw that he was blackmailed by Lin Zhiyuan for three pills, he felt some sympathy for him in his heart, and was moved by his filial piety, so he hugged his fists and smiled at him kindly.
Tu Yunshan's face changed instantly, and he said to the entourage: "Qu Yue, you go to get the medicine, and after you get the medicine, you will immediately go back to the house to serve the old man to take a pill, I still have one thing, I have to go back later." β
The attendant named Qu Yue nodded and went with Xiao Mo.
Tu Yunshan was stunned, his eyes were full of deep hatred, and he slowly walked in front of Ye Shuying, his eyes did not leave his face for a moment, as if he had some hatred for killing his father and taking his wife with Ye Shuying, and said in a deep voice: "Young Master Lin, I don't know if this friend is ......"
Lin Zhiyuan had already noticed Tu Yunshan's abnormality, and said in his heart: "Ye Shuying, this kid must have offended this ...... before" and said at the moment: "Oh, I forgot to introduce Mr. Tu, this is Ye Shuying, the master of the Yintai sword." He also introduced Ye Shuying: "This is the righteous son of the old man Qu on the small lonely mountain in the Jiangkou, and the people in the rivers and lakes call Mr. Tu Yunshan Tu 'a thousand strands of ice silk, a line of souls'. Have you two met before?"
Ye Shuying has heard of the name "Thousands of Ice Threads, a Line of Souls", but Tu Yunshan himself has never seen it, only that the weapon he uses is a thin, soft and flexible ice silk thread, which can control dozens or hundreds of silk threads at the same time to attack the enemy's vital points from different directions.
With Tu Yunshan's skills, it was difficult to meet opponents in Jiangnan, but his fame was not great, just because he was withdrawn and indifferent, easily did not take others in his eyes, and did not like to make friends, the heroes in Jiangnan martial arts only knew that his martial arts were strong and not easy to provoke, and they did not know much about him, and some people who had really had contact with him were in awe of him and did not dare to talk about him behind his back, so although his name was long but not very loud. It's just that a character like him has to bow his head in front of Lin Zhiyuan and let him slaughter.
Ye Shuying saw that Tu Yunshan's expression was solemn and hateful, only to feel that a domineering momentum was suppressed, and the surrounding air also became depressed. Ye Shuying only straightened his chest, his heart was full of righteousness, he hugged his fists, and said: "Mr. Tu, I have admired the name for a long time, and I am deeply honored to see it today." β
Tu Yunshan's expression relaxed when he saw this, his momentum suddenly dissipated, his face was slightly gentle, and he turned into an arrogant and disdainful expression, and said, "It turned out to be Ye Gongzi." I don't know who Ye Gongzi is from Sima Tianze?"
Ye Shuying's mind was racing, and he already remembered the "Sima" in Hua Wuniang's mouth, and thought to himself, didn't Tu Yunshan also think that he looked like "Sima"? He said with a smile: "I don't know Sima Tianze in Xia. Ask Mr. Tu, who is this Sima Tianze?"
Tu Yunshan said, "You really don't know this person?"
Ye Shuying shook his head and said, "I really don't know, I've never heard of it before." Brother Lin, do you know?"
Lin Zhiyuan thought for a while and said, "I don't know below." β
Tu Yunshan said with a smile: "In this way, Tu has taken his leave." After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly.
Ye Shuying hurriedly said, "Mr. Tu stays." Seeing that he was walking fast, he was about to catch up, but Lin Zhiyuan stopped him with a folding fan and said, "Do you want to take the opportunity to slip away? It's not that easy." Ye Shuying was anxious to know the identity of "Sima", glanced at Lin Zhiyuan, and said, "You get out of the way for the time being, I have something important to find that gentleman, and our accounts will be calculated another day." And he pushed him with his palm, folding the fan.
Lin Zhiyuan turned sideways and put away the folding fan and said, "This Mr. Tu is not easy to mess with, don't you see that he is polite to me, it is just because he has asked me." Do you know that even the leader of the Flying Dragon Gang is in awe of him on the Yangtze River? I don't think he is friendly to you, so you better not provoke him. Of course, if you just want to take advantage of the conflict with him to escape, I advise you not to make such calculations, once he makes a move, no one will be able to escape from under his 'thousand strands of ice', at least I haven't heard of it until now. β
Ye Shuying had no intention of entanglement with Lin Zhiyuan, his figure flickered, and he had arrived in front of Tu Yunshan, Lin Zhiyuan's subordinates were about to catch up immediately, but Lin Zhiyuan waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, don't you know Tu Yunshan's temper?" Ye Shuying doesn't know how to provoke him, and let that one teach him a lesson first, maybe it will save you most of the trouble, you just keep an eye on it and don't let him run away." I still have a business to discuss, Lin Quan, I'll leave it to you here. β
The subordinate named Lin Quan clenched his fists and said, "Yes, my subordinates receive orders." β
It turns out that this Tu Yunshan was also a gentle and elegant person when he was young, since the disappearance of his fiancΓ©e Qu Hongzhu more than 20 years ago, he searched hard for more than a year without results, and then worshiped Qu Mingyang, the father of Qu Hongzhu, as his father-in-law, and did not marry to serve Qu Mingyang day and night for life, and after a few years, his temperament also became withdrawn and irritable, in addition to being respectful to his father-in-law, he was indifferent and disdainful to others, and because of his ice silk stunt, most of the heroes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Valley respected him.
Ye Shuying just inquired about Sima Tianze, where could he take care of a lot, and after catching up, he hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Tu stays, I take the liberty to ask Mr., who is Sima Tianze?"
