Chapter 5 Outside the City
"Hmm? Are you saying that the Qingcheng faction will be unfavorable to us? This is impossible, right? Our Fuwei Dart Bureau and the Qingcheng faction have never had any grievances?"
Lin Zhennan's face changed slightly, but he still didn't believe Lin Pingzhi's speculation.
"Father, all this is just my speculation at the moment, as for what the Qingcheng faction thinks, I need to see it slowly. ”
Lin Pingzhi's face was indifferent, and he didn't argue much about Lin Zhennan on this issue.
"Okay, let's be more careful these days. ”
Lin Zhennan nodded, it is not a bad thing to be cautious, he still understands this truth.
On this day, nothing was found, and everything in the Fuwei Dart Bureau seemed very calm.
Lin Pingzhi sat in the house and never went out again.
He held a cup of tea in his hand and tasted it slowly, when there was a knock on the door, and Bai Er walked in from outside.
"Young darthead, what are you looking for me?"
Bai Erxin was still a little excited, he suddenly received a message that Shao Dart wanted to see him, this is a good thing, if he can be favored by Shao Dart, then his future in Fuwei Dart Bureau will be guaranteed, so he was a little excited, and his face was slightly red.
"Well, Bai Er, I called you here this time because I have something for you to do. ”
Lin Pingzhi didn't talk nonsense, and began to explain what he meant directly.
"Young dart, please say, I will go to the soup for Bai Er, and I will not hesitate!"
Bai Er patted his chest and said in high spirits.
"Our Fuwei Dart Bureau has been operating in Fuzhou for so many years, there should be a lot of eyes and ears in this Fuzhou City, right? You should go and let them all mobilize, pay more attention to the people in the rivers and lakes who have entered Fuzhou City these days, especially some people with Sichuan accents, you have to do this matter secretly, don't make a noise, do you understand?"
Lin Pingzhi said in a serious tone, but under his calm gaze, Bai Er felt a heavy pressure.
"Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter, and I will come to report any news immediately!"
Bai Er nodded heavily and answered.
"Okay, that's what I want you to do, you go down and prepare first. Remember to be careful. ”
After Bai Er left, Lin Pingzhi silently looked at the sky outside the window.
"Yu Canghai, I want to see how many lives your Qingcheng faction wants to leave behind this time. ”
An indifferent voice sounded in the room, and there was a faint aura of killing in the air.
Just a day later, Bai Er hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Shao Dart, you asked me to check the matter has eyebrows, these days there really seem to be people from Sichuan near Fuzhou, one by one with long swords and blades, like people in the rivers and lakes, but I don't know which sect these people are, there seem to be dozens of people before and after, but these people have not entered Fuzhou City for the time being, but have settled down outside the city. ”
Bai Er reported the news he got with a solemn face.
"Oh, is it finally here? Okay, this matter is over, you go down, tell me to go down, the brothers of the dart game must be careful when they go in and out these days. ”
Lin Pingzhi commanded lightly.
Bai Er's heart trembled when he heard this, and his intuition made him feel as if something big was going to happen, but he had no clue what was going on, so the situation made him uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only leave silently.
"It's time to tell my father. ”
Lin Pingzhi said silently, got up and left his room, and soon found Lin Zhennan.
"What? Ping'er, do you mean that the people from Qingcheng have come to Fuzhou in a big way?"
Lin Zhennan listened to Lin Pingzhi's news, and was shocked on the spot, the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground, and his face was faintly pale, which showed the shock in his heart.
"Yes, in the past few days, Bai Er has asked us to launch the eyes of our dart bureau to investigate the movements near Fuzhou City, and sure enough, I found something, according to what Bai Er said, those people's dress should be the Qingcheng faction, these people are coming in a big way, I'm afraid that the people who come are not good, father, we have to be more careful." ”
Lin Pingzhi's tone was calm, not the slightest fluster, much calmer than Lin Zhennan.
"Yes, the comers are not good, the Qingcheng faction will definitely not come to the Fuzhou realm for no reason, it seems that we really have to be careful, this Fuzhou City can be regarded as a person in the martial arts, that is, our Fuwei Dart Bureau, it seems that this time they should be coming for our Dart Bureau." ”
Lin Zhennan got up and walked back and forth on the ground for a while, then suddenly turned around and said, "Pingzhi, this matter is arranged by my father's association, so don't tell your mother for the time being, so as not to worry him." ”
"Okay, in that case, I'll leave everything to you, father, and I'll go out of the city to have a look. ”
Lin Pingzhi got up and was about to leave, but Lin Zhennan's face changed.
"What? Pingzhi, you want to go out of the city? How can this be, at the moment, the Qingcheng faction is unclear, and they have a large number of people, I'm afraid it is too dangerous for you to go out of the city at this time, in case someone finds out, wouldn't it be bad?"
"Haha, father, don't worry, with my current martial arts, the Qingcheng faction is not in my eyes, but they are outnumbered, I am afraid that in case of a conflict, our dart game will lose too much, otherwise we would have done it to them a long time ago!"
Lin Pingzhi laughed, his face was full of confidence, he has not been in vain in the past few years, with the Taiyuan Sword Sutra, he has advanced by leaps and bounds in both internal strength and swordsmanship, and it has long been incomparable, even if it is Yu Canghai, the head of the Qingcheng faction, he is not necessarily his opponent, if there is only one person to act, where are there so many scruples.
Regardless of Lin Zhennan's shocked expression, Lin Pingzhi strode out and went directly to the stable to take out his white horse, this horse was sent by his grandmother from Luoyang, it was a first-class horse, but since Lin Pingzhi fell off the horse and was injured, he then practiced martial arts every day, and this horse was rarely used.
walked outside the door of the dart game and happened to see Bai Er.
"Bai Er, go find a horse and go out of the city with me!"
Lin Pingzhi said loudly, Bai Er immediately cheered, and hurriedly ran in, and soon led out a batch of jujube red horses.
"Young darthead, are we going out of the city to hunt, do you want to bring a bow and arrows or something?"
Bai Er was in a good mood, Lin Ping had been practicing martial arts all these years, but he hadn't gone out hunting for a long time.
"Haha, you don't need a bow and arrow, and sometimes you don't have to use a bow and arrow for hunting!"
Lin Pingzhi said meaningfully, his legs tightened, he stepped off the white horse and neighed, the horse's hooves burst, and he headed towards the city gate in a blink of an eye.
Leaving Fuzhou City, Lin Pingzhi and Bai Er rode alone, galloped wildly, and soon saw a small shop in the wilderness not far away.
"Shao Darttou, you see, the small shop in front is Lao Caitou's hotel, when we used to go hunting, we often ate and drank here with him, do you want to go in and sit?"
Bai Er's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand and pointed ahead.
"It's a pity, we've just left the city, and we haven't been able to catch any prey yet. ”
As he spoke, he showed a hint of pity.
"Okay, let's sit down in the little shop, but the prey should be there soon, so don't be in a hurry. ”
Lin Pingzhi's face was pale, the reins shook slightly, and the white horse walked away.
"Old Caitou, there is a guest coming to the door, don't come out quickly!"
Walking to the door of the small shop, after the two dismounted, without Lin Pingzhi's orders, Bai Er shouted, and there was a sound of footsteps inside.
Then a gray-haired old man walked out tremblingly.
"Huh, who are you, you are not Lao Cai, where is Lao Cai?"
Bai Er was very familiar with this small shop, and he could see at a glance that this old man was not the Lao Cai he knew at all.
Lin Pingzhi was silent, his eyes looked at the old man lightly, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Hmph, this is Lao Denuo of the Huashan faction, right? He is worthy of being a spy, and this skill of disguise is not bad, but unfortunately his breathing is long and thin, and although his steps are slow, his strength is light inside, and he obviously has kung fu. ”
He sneered secretly in his heart, this Lao Denuo pretended to be very similar to the same thing, and it was really difficult for ordinary people in the rivers and lakes to see the flaws in his body, but it was a pity that Lin Pingzhi's martial arts were too high now, his internal strength was pure and condensed, his five senses and six senses were extremely keen, and it was difficult for any wind and grass within a radius of dozens of zhang to escape his ears and eyes.
Lin Ping's heart pondered for a moment, and Lau Denuo had already said a set of rhetoric he had prepared, and he had found a good excuse for returning to his hometown in old age, returning to his roots in fallen leaves, and making it difficult to distinguish the native accent.
Although Bai Er also follows the dart game to walk the world and has rich experience, he has been tricked against old rivers and lakes like Lao Denuo, and he has never seen any clues.
"Okay, old man Sa, you settle these two horses well, and then serve a table of good dishes, our young dart head has gold and silver, and we will never let you suffer!"
Bai Er waved his hand, looking arrogant, but he also had a bit of style, which made Lin Pingzhi laugh in his heart.
"Yes, yes, the second child will do everything. ”
The old man of Sa who had been transformed by Laudeno responded again and again, and quickly set the two horses aside, and fed them good forage, all of which were done with ease and without revealing the slightest flaw.
Lin Pingzhi and Bai Er had just found a table and sat down, and the old man shouted loudly.
"Wan'er, why don't you come out and serve the wine to the two guest officers!"
"It's coming, it's coming. A tactful and clear voice sounded from the back hall of the small shop, and then a graceful girl in Tsing Yi walked out.
The girl's complexion was dark and yellow, and her face was covered with pockmarks, and she looked very ugly, which did not match her delicate and light figure at all.
"Two guest officers, please use it slowly. ”
The girl named Wan'er walked to the table, whispered, put down the wine on the tray and hurried away.
The moment he turned around, Lin Pingzhi's eyes flashed, but he saw a touch of snow-white skin on the girl's neck.
"This is Yue Buqun's daughter, but it's a pity that this disguised skill is still a little worse than that of Lau Denuo. ”
Shaking his head slightly, Lin Pingzhi didn't pay attention to these anymore, the most important thing at the moment was the group of people from the Qingcheng faction, as for the rest, they could be put aside for the time being.
"Young darthead, the wine in this small shop is good, you can try it!"
Bai Er naturally didn't know that in a short period of time, Lin Ping's heart turned a lot of thoughts, and when he lifted the wine jug, he poured two glasses of wine and handed over a glass.
"I don't need to drink alcohol, I'm still used to drinking tea, you can drink this wine." ”
Lin Pingzhi shook his head lightly and didn't take it.
He is a swordsman, the way of swordsmanship, needs to be fast, accurate, ruthless, whether it is reaction or agility has high requirements, drinking alcohol hurts the body, even if it is very small, but it still affects his swordsmanship, so he has never drunk alcohol over the years.
"Alas, Shao Darttou hasn't even drunk wine for years, I really can't figure it out, forget it, let's drink it for Bai Er, this old Cai Tou's wine is delicious!"
Bai Er was not reluctant, and took care of himself and picked up the wine glass and tasted it slowly.
The food came up quickly, green vegetables, tofu, shredded meat, steamed fish, meat and vegetarian are all available, the aroma is tangy, and it is not bad.
Not long after, outside the shop, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and Lin Pingzhi looked up, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"It's finally here. ”
"Shop, shop, fast, good wine and good food are all on the line!"
"Ge Laozi, this mountain road in Fujian is really difficult to walk, and the horses are broken. ”
With the sound of the wind, two people have walked into the store, wearing green robes, double-eared bast shoes, and white cloth wrapped around their heads, which is exactly the dress of Sichuan people.
Sichuan people's heads wrapped in white cloth, but when Zhuge Liang died, Sichuan people wore filial piety for him, Wuhou was very loved, and it was a thousand years later, and the white cloth still did not go to the head.
