Chapter 52 Go out of the city to offer sacrifice to Huai Zun! "What do you think is weird?" Yang Zhubu didn't seem surprised and asked calmly. Xiao Hui thought for a moment and said, "In fact, it's strange enough that this happened in front of Linjiangsi." "and then?" "The man riding his horse in the street is from the Liu family. He is of noble birth. Normally, we dare not offend him." "It's not uncommon for a person of high rank to ride a horse in the street. It happened in front of the Linjiang Division. Can't it be a coincidence?" "But Liang, the flag bearer... Liang Hu, he came too coincidentally and appeared too timely. Moreover, as the flag bearer of Qingshanfang, he had no right to interfere in this matter." "That does make some sense." "But there is also the deputy commander of the Outer South Yamen. He also arrived at the right time and appeared at the same time as Liang Hu." Xiao Hui looked solemn and said, "One coincidence may really be a coincidence, but multiple coincidences must have been planned in advance."
"I didn't realize you have such a sharp mind." Yang Zhubu laughed and said, "But do you think that Master Wu can't see through the things you have seen through?" Xiao Hui's heart was slightly shaken, and he whispered, "Master Wu knows?" Yang Zhubu nodded solemnly: "Before Fifth Master drew his sword, he probably understood it, so he chopped it down with style!" After a pause, Yang Zhubu took a deep breath and slowly said, "Actually, I'm just afraid that Fifth Master will be angry again and kill Liang Hu and Zhao Yuan tonight." "But now, the Fifth Master has chosen to leave the city to offer sacrifices to Huai Zun, and he has obviously suppressed his murderous intent." "Otherwise, a bigger bloody storm will be set off, and then even General Han will not be able to protect him." "After all, these two people have high status and positions." Yang Zhubu whispered, "Fortunately, Fifth Master's murderous nature is not as strong as the rumors say..." - On the street at this moment. A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove out from Linjiangsi. The curtains of the carriage fluttered in the wind, and a person could be vaguely seen sitting inside. The person in the car, wearing a black robe with gold thread, was the current flag bearer of Linjiang Division. The person driving the car was a handsome young man in simple clothes. He is the new flag bearer of Linjiang Division, Lin Yan. At this moment, Lin Yan looked back and was quite satisfied. "Through the curtain, it's blurry...but with my current paper-cut horse, it's the best, no one can tell the difference." Thinking this, Lin Yan rode his horse forward, slowly heading towards the south gate of the city.
Because the aftermath of the evil spirit's attack on the city has not yet completely subsided, the person in charge of managing the entrances and exits of the city gates today is one of the deputy commanders of the city's defense forces. The man's surname seemed to be Gu. He was patrolling on the city wall and happened to see a vehicle with the logo of the Jiantiansi on the street not far away. "Linjiangsi's carriage." Deputy Commander Gu had obviously heard about what had happened in the streets before, and his eyebrows raised. He was quite curious about the flag bearer. But one can't help but feel wary of this strong man who can overturn the rules with a single blow. Seeing the soldiers guarding the city below preparing for routine inspection, they stopped the carriage. He frowned slightly and raised his hand slightly. The personal soldier behind him immediately leaned forward and made a gesture to the soldiers at the city gate. "Commander Gu, aren't you going to check this carriage?" "The flag bearer of Linjiang Division is on the carriage." Deputy Commander Gu said calmly: "You are not qualified to check his car. I have to go there myself." "Be more careful next time. There are three horses in Linjiang Division, but only one carriage. Generally speaking, only the flag bearer can use it." "This Fifth Master is notorious for his viciousness. Not long after he took office, he chopped down Liang Hu and slapped the face of the deputy commander of the Outer South Yamen with a knife." He walked down the city wall, came to the city gate, waved his hand, and said, "You usually guard the city and act arrogantly. If you disrespect him, there might be trouble." "Moreover, after the demons attacked the city two days ago, our brothers in the city defense rushed to the gate of Linjiang Division because of Zhao Jing's incident." "Maybe he's still holding a grudge in his heart." "This time I will personally meet him at the city gate to prevent him from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble." As he said this, he had already stood at the city gate, looked at the slowly approaching carriage, and took the initiative to step forward. "But it's the vehicle of the Heavenly Supervisor?" "That's right." Lin Yan nodded slightly and looked at the other party quietly. "But the Fifth Master is in the car?" Deputy Commander Gu bowed. "Master Wu is resting." Lin Yan said calmly, "Deputy Commander Gu, do you want me to ask him to come out?" "No need." Deputy Commander Gu laughed, looked past Lin Yan, and saw the figure behind the curtain. He stepped aside, stretched out his hand and waved, signaling his soldiers to make way and open the city gate. Lin Yan drove the car along the city gate and slowly left the city. Deputy Commander Gu also seemed relieved. "Commander Gu, this Fifth Master is too arrogant. You came to greet him in person, but he didn't even show his face or reply. He just sent us away with a small flag." The personal soldier sounded somewhat dissatisfied.
"Master Wu didn't take the opportunity to cause trouble, which is already giving us face." Deputy Commander Gu looked solemn and said slowly: "After all, we were the first to be rude." - Go all the way outside the city. Lin Yan drove the carriage with a cold expression. He knew in his heart that what happened in front of Linjiangsi today was most likely not a coincidence. This was a trap set up to humiliate the new flag bearer! But when he swung his sword, he not only shattered the opponent's conspiracy, but also boosted his own prestige and increased his reputation among the people. We can get a glimpse of this from the attitude of the city defenders when we left the city just now. "Today's events may be a temporary setback for them and come to an end." Lin Yan looked at the knife in his arms and thought to himself, "But for me, this matter is not over yet!" He raised his head, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes. Along the way, we met three caravans, which were merchant caravans coming from outside the city. There were also some pedestrians, some were preparing to return to Gaoliu City, and some were coming from other places. It was already afternoon, and they all had to get to Gaoliu City as soon as possible before nightfall. And those who were heading to Gaoliu City all looked at Lin Yan in surprise. Normally, at this time, near evening, no one would leave the city. Because at this moment, if we rush out of the city, we will not be able to reach the next "safe place" before dark! Therefore, anyone who wanted to leave the city, without exception, would prepare everything before dawn in the city and wait for dawn before leaving the city immediately. "..." Lin Yan ignored these gazes and drove the carriage forward. Around sunset, he finally arrived at where Huai Zun was. Then, his expression became increasingly complicated. As he got closer, he fell into deep thought. Where is Huai Zun? What about a tree that big? There's just a big hole left on the ground? (End of this chapter)
