Chapter Seventy-Three: A Break
Early the next morning, Han Ji and Juniper took Lin Yi and drove the carriage to the dock.
There were two ten-pound wine jars beside Lin Yi, which they bought on the street last night, and they were filled with spirit wine. Naturally, it was indispensable to go to the Qianqiu Fu Liquor Workshop in Qincheng and buy dozens of catties of old wine. He was worried that the spirit wine given last night was too small to allow the Ling clan to truly heal, so he wanted to see Hong Banxian today and give him more. But when the car passed by the west gate, there was no one to be seen.
The city is still a little clean, and the docks are already noisy and busy.
A ray of sunset rose in the east, and the water ripples on the Qin River, and the scales were flakes. The person's face is also covered with a layer of golden light, and it is more vibrant.
Lin Yi drove the carriage to a big boat, resisted the car, and stopped the cart steadily.
Han Ji stepped forward to talk to someone, and after a while, a few men in black came. One by one, the wind was blowing under their feet, stepping on the gangplank, getting on the big boat, and in a blink of an eye, they carried salt bags on their backs and loaded them onto Lin Yi's carriage.
Each bag of salt is no less than 100 catties, and fifteen bags of salt quickly fill the cart. This 1,500 catties of salt should be enough for two or three thousand people from the Tianlong Sect to eat for two months. Lin Yi was scheming in his heart, but his eyes kept looking around the dock.
"Senior Brother Lin, the salt is ready, let's open the way!" Han Ji shouted to Lin Yi and drove the horse forward with Juniper.
Lin Yi retracted the car toughness, shook the reins in his hand, and the two healthy horses "recovered" and snorted, pulling the carriage hard.
The uphill road was slow, and Lin Yi was not in a hurry, letting the horse move forward step by step. His eyes swept to the side of the road, and when he saw someone, he smiled and wanted to say hello, but he pretended to turn his head to look elsewhere unintentionally.
When the carriage reached the embankment, it became much lighter, but the horse's footsteps were a little heavier than when it came.
When the car arrived at the west gate, Lin Yi didn't care about Han Ji and the others in front of him, he stopped the carriage, jumped down with two wine jars in his arms.
Hong Banxian was drunk last night, and came out a little later today, and just plugged in the cloth pole, he saw Lin Yi running over, he stepped forward and said, "Brother Lin, is this ......?"
Lin Yi put down the two wine jars, took out a small package and stuffed it into Hong Banxian's arms, and whispered with a smile: "These two jars are medicinal wine, if the lady is cured, you and Quan'er can also drink this wine, which can cure illness and strengthen the body." This is a gift of silver from a friend, keep it for your family, don't make a noise and cause trouble. I'll leave if I have something to do, Mr. Hong had better go home first, so as not to have an accident here, and take his leave!"
Hong Banxian understood what Lin Yi meant, and wanted to make a sound, but saw that he had already jumped into the carriage and waved at him, followed by the bluestone slab "gurgling", and the wheels rolled away.
Hong Banxian pinched the package in his hand, hurriedly put it on his shoulder, he didn't dare to stay at the city gate for longer, put away the cloth rod, and walked home with two jars of wine. When she returned home, Quan'er saw that her father had just gone out, so she came back in a panic and hurriedly asked, "Daddy, what's wrong?"
Hong Banxian's feet did not stop, and he hurriedly said to Quan'er: "Quan'er is about to close the door and come with Daddy!"
When he came to the back room, Hong Banxian ignored his wife's questions, put down the wine jar first, and then put the package on the bed, and then told his wife and Quan'er the explanation when Lin Yi left.
After that, the family of three stared at the package on the bed.
Ling Shi was also calm, gently opened the package, and saw that there were enough hundred taels of silver, lying quietly in the package, and couldn't help but exclaim.
A hundred taels of silver is enough to make ordinary people worry about food and clothing! Seeing so much silver, in the memory of the Ling family, is already a very distant thing, how can this Lin Yi be so generous?
"Husband, how is this good? My family has a heavy brotherhood, and I have not repaid it, and I have received a generous gift from him, this is not appropriate! Why don't you refuse?"
In a hurry, Ling's tears fell. Quan'er was also frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her mother, but her eyes widened when she looked back, expecting her father to speak out and explain her doubts.
Hong Banxian stomped his feet and complained: "Alas——! this Lin brother is in a hurry, so he left his things and left. I knew that the package was silver, but there were so many people at the city gate that I didn't dare to open it......! How could I take it?"
Ling's tears still didn't stop, and Hong Banxian was also distressed when he looked at it. How could this Lin Yi act so recklessly? A few taels of silver are already considered a generous gift, and these 100 taels of silver make people feel uneasy when they hold it! Could it be that he really takes a fancy to my Quan'er......?
"Madam, don't be upset, Brother Lin will return him when he comes back! If he doesn't want it, this silver will be regarded as Quan'er's dowry!" Hong Banxian said as a matter of course. The Ling clan restrained his sobbing, looked at Hong Banxian with a suspicious gaze, and then fell on the daughter beside him.
"Ahh
Ling frowned and said, "How can my husband talk like this......? However......" Looking at Hong Banxianle's appearance, a smile also appeared in the corner of Ling's eyes.
......
Lin Yi drove the carriage and walked out of Qincheng in the face of the rising sun. Since he really helped Hong Banxian's family, this matter was put on the back burner. Sitting in the carriage, he couldn't help but think of an incident on the docks.
The person he met on the dock was Ding Mao. At that time he was standing with several people, one of whom was long and stout, and his imposing momentum was fierce. This person is Liu Juhu of the Pai Gang.
Lin Yiyi wanted to say hello to Ding Mao, but saw the other party standing behind Liu Juhu with a respectful expression, and shook his head secretly at him. Knowing what was wrong, he also turned his head and pretended to be a passerby.
Why is Ding Mao like this? Lin Yi sat in the car, as if he was in a state of concentration, but he was secretly thinking about it in his heart.
Two hours later, the sun ran overhead, and two horses and carts came to a stream.
The horses pulled the loaded carts, and they were also tired and wet, snoring and foaming at the mouth. Han Ji was also careful, and looked back in time to signal to rest.
Lin Yi stopped the carriage, untied the two horses and brought them to the water's edge, and took out a cloth bag from the carriage, which contained some fine horse material.
Han Ji and the others also loosened the horse's belly belt, let the horse drink water and food, and will nourish the strength of the feet. Then he took out the dry food and sat down to eat.
Lin Yi also had dry food in his car, but he was not hungry and in good spirits.
Gu came to the car, sat on the grass, Lin Yi picked up the gourd and took a sip.
The aura in this wine is better than anything else, gather the armpits into a fur! The aura in the body is condensed day by day, and the sea of qi is gradually filled, Lin Yi is looking forward to the consummation of the fifth layer of the Xuantian Mental Method. If you reach the sixth layer of cultivation, can you take the Qi Gathering Pill? If you have three Qi Gathering Pills, you can smoothly reach the ninth level of Qi cultivation, and the foundation building period is just around the corner. If that's the case, wouldn't he be able to volley the sword in the air, and it will be a thousand miles in an instant......
When you have a goal in life, it is like a journey of thousands of miles and a direction......
After thinking about it for a while, Lin lifted the gourd, but put it down again. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Han Ji and Juniper.
The two of them were still chewing on the dry food in their hands.
Lin Yi tied the gourd around his waist, glanced around casually, and then closed his eyes and recuperated.
"This stinky boy, after a long day's journey, isn't he hungry? He also pretended to drink two sips of wine, which annoyed people!" Juniper didn't like Lin Yi when he came to see him, but when he saw that he was resting cross-legged with the old god there, he couldn't help but chew a mouthful of dry food and complained.
Han Ji said with a smile: "This car is also quite tiring, he is!"
"Hmph! When I go back, the inner door competition should be over. What a great opportunity, but it's really annoying to be sent here to do this errand at this time!"
Juniper was indeed annoyed by not being able to watch the inside door competition. But this errand is not small, but it is not big, and it must be accompanied by someone with good martial arts. He can't compare to Lu Shu's reputation, but his martial arts are among the best among the outer disciples, and it is also common sense that he was assigned by the woodhousekeeper.
"Huh—Senior Brother Han, what movement can you hear?" Juniper turned pale, leaned over the ground, and listened carefully.
Han Ji also held his breath and nodded, "It seems that someone is coming this way." ”
"There were four people in total, and there was the sound of weapons handing over. With that, Juniper jumped up and tightened his horse's belly belt. Han Ji also got busy, and seeing that Lin Yi was still sitting upright with his eyes closed, he hurriedly shouted: "Quickly put on the horse, someone is coming over with a weapon." ”
As soon as Lin opened his eyes, he answered, and got up to clean up.
Han Ji and Juniper are the backbone of the outer disciples, and at this time, they have weapons in their hands, and they are ready for battle, and they can't see a trace of panic in their expressions. And Lin Yi seemed to be slow, and he quickly set up the carriage.
Lin Yi put the cloth bag containing the forage back into the carriage, clapped his hands, and just got into the carriage, he saw a tall man, bare hands, covered in blood, cursing in his mouth, staggering over. Two men and one woman in the back are in hot pursuit.
The man in front of him, seeing that there were people on the side of the road, he went straight to Han Ji and the others with luck.
A man with a strange face in the back also saw Han Ji and the three of them, their eyes showed a fierce light, and they exerted force under their feet, holding a scimitar high in their hands, and slashed down fiercely.
The man in front of him heard the sound of the wind behind his ears, and while running, his feet slipped, and his body flashed to the side, and then his waist was forced, and he smashed it behind him with a fist when he turned around. The latter's scimitar went into the air, and before he could draw his hand, he was hit on the back of the knife with a punch, and with a "buzz", the scimitar flew out of his hand.
The man was unforgiving, and after one punch, another punch was smashed, smashing into the opponent's chest. The man behind him stopped sharply and jumped backwards, but he couldn't match the speed of his fist, and he was about to be hit by his fist.
Suddenly, another scimitar, slid through a silver light, bypassing the companion in front of him, and slashed at the opponent's wrist.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the empty-handed man retracted violently from the fist that hit the opponent's chest, and the other fist smashed into the back of the comer's knife with a "woo". The scimitar turned, danced, and slammed it to his armpit. The empty-handed man could only turn around and hide backwards.
"Huh-" The clothes were torn, a line of blood red burst out, and the empty-handed man snorted, turned around, and continued to run towards Han Ji.
This empty-handed man's fists are powerful, but they are difficult to defeat the opponent.
Seeing this, Han Ji was annoyed in his heart. This man clearly wants the water to move eastward. It was only when he saw his bravery, coupled with his identity as a disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, that he had a cold face and endured his anger.
"In the Ancient Heavenly Stone of the Iron Fist Gate, these people are from the wild land, at the foot of the Tianlong Sect, they hurt my brother for no reason, and they also ask the masters of the Tianlong Sect to uphold justice!"
When the man hurriedly asked for help, he did not forget to report his name.
Lin Yi shook his head secretly not far away, why was this Gu Tianshi chased and killed by several people? This person is also worthy of being a ** lake, and a few words made Han Ji and the others unable to avoid it.
It's just that the outer disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, how much weight do they have in front of these three extremely vicious masters?
Especially the woman in colorful clothes in the back, but Huaxin is in her prime, but she has a pointed chin, fox eyes and peach cheeks, and she is as charming as a snake, which makes people uncomfortable when she looks at it!
