In the streets and alleys of Juzhou City, Lin Manliu and Ning Ke escaped the siege of these pursuers one after another, and finally successfully merged into a crowd of people in the market. They saw that the mysterious people who had been chasing after them seemed to have lost their way. , Ning Ke breathed a sigh of relief and was about to make fun of the boy in short shirt next to him.
Unexpectedly, Lin Manliu suddenly grabbed Ning Ke's arm. Ning Ke was stunned at first, then immediately reacted and followed the direction of the boy in front of him.
But after all, they took a step slower. In front of the direction where the two were about to hide, there was already a person standing. It was Li Junce who was worshiped by the Li family of the Forged Sword Peak that he saw in the forest last night.
"The two kids left in such a hurry, I'm afraid they couldn't take a good look at the scenery in Juzhou City," Li Junce said with a smile.
"I don't know what Li Gongfeng is talking about, but I do have important matters that need to be dealt with as soon as possible today," Lin Manliu said.
Li Junce's smile became even thicker, as if he was looking at the young and promising junior like a warm elder. He waved his hand and said: "There is nothing in Juzhou City that I, Zhujianfeng, can't help with. Liu Xiaoyou just said it doesn't matter. Since you and I If I know Mr. Jiang, he is also my guest, Li Junce."
As soon as he said this, the young man in short shirt knew that he would not be able to escape normally today no matter what, and it seemed that he had to let Li Junce go.
"Then there will be more Li Congfu," Lin Manliu said with a bow.
"Please, Liu Xiaoyou." Li Junce turned around and walked towards the outside of the city. Before turning around, he glanced at the mountain stick on the young man's waist.
This subtle movement was caught by Lin Manliu, but he did not react in any way. Along the way, the three of them didn't say anything. Li Junce didn't say anything about what Lin Manliu needed to do. The boy in a short shirt didn't ask the amiable middle-aged man in front of him. Ning Ke walked at the back of the three, silently Look at the two people in front.
He subconsciously began to sigh in his heart, only a kind and honest person like himself would not cover up so much in his speech skills, so let them consume these two foxes, one big and one small.
Li Junce took Lin Manliu and Ning Ke to the gate of Juzhou City and saw two cars. The second one was very familiar to Lin Manliu. When he came to Juzhou City before, Qiao Yun The carriage was called in Nian, but the coachman was no longer the coachman back then.
Li Junce turned around and looked at Lin Manliu with a smile, and then entered the carriage in front. Lin Manliu called Ning Ke and entered the second carriage together.
After entering the carriage, Ning Ke did not take the initiative to ask Lin Manliu about anything. He just casually rummaged through the corners or placed items in the carriage, like a curious child.
"There is no need to investigate. Normally he would not take action on the way to Zhujian Peak," Lin Manliu said softly.
"Are you so sure?" Ning Ke said.
"If this person wants to intercept and kill the two of us, he can just do it in the city. Zhujianfeng wants to do something in Juzhou, and no one dares to stop him. He probably recognized the Shanyexing on my waist, and then hindered that Jiang Xu Yan, I want to confirm something today," Lin Manliu said slowly.
However, the boy in the short shirt is worried about another thing. If there are imitation swords of the Four Swords in the World in the Buried Sword Valley, will Li Junce have seen the four swords in full, and will the Spring Chuangdie behind him have been exposed? ...I checked the mountains and wild things around my waist earlier, maybe it was just an illusion, trying to confuse myself.
The Spring Window Butterfly behind Lin Manliu, after merging with the Xia Mingchan in the master's hand, and the other two swords are the last of the four swords in the world. This Li Junce must know about the buried sword valley, if he Having entered the Buried Sword Valley and seen the four swords in the hands of the masked man, all this makes sense... However, both the master and the old liar have told themselves that there is no need to hide Chun Chuangdie anymore, and they should have already taken care of themselves. These questions... Lin Manliu was thinking with a sad look on his face. Ning Ke, who was beside him, naturally noticed something strange about the young man, so he said: "As you said, even if the swords Feng Qiao and Li Buhe are now cast, they will still be in your hands." There is a mountain trip gifted by your Senior Sister Qiao, but after all, you have some relationship with the young master of the Jiang family. You can act according to the situation when you enter Zhujian Peak, and you can also investigate the situation of the Qiao family."
Hearing Ning Ke's words of comfort, Lin Manliu nodded and nodded before interrupting his meditation.
"I just want to trouble Brother Ning to accompany me for a while..." Lin Manliu suddenly thought that Ning Ke was involved at this time, raised his head and said awkwardly. "Hey...what are you talking about? After all, I am out to travel around the world. The more I see, the more I see the world.
"Ning Ke waved her hand and said, and started to use her lame male voice again. She could have pretended to be very good, but when talking to the boy in a short shirt, she liked to say something disgusting to the boy from time to time. Hearing this again Lin Manliu, who had a normal voice, did not look at Ning Ke with disgust as usual, but looked at Ning Ke's face quietly and laughed. This made Ning Ke feel very strange, and he immediately stopped speaking and used his original expression. The voice said seriously: "Lin Manliu, why are you laughing? ".
"No, thank you, Brother Ning." Lin Manliu said then, closed his eyes and fell back, leaned on the wooden board behind the carriage, and began to take a nap.
When Ning Ke saw that the ordinary-talking young man in a short-sleeved shirt didn't care about anything, he turned away from Lin Manliu, who was pretending to be leisurely, and stared quietly at the curtain directly in front of the carriage.
The carriage that followed seemed to be heading up the mountain. The originally stable carriage began to become a little bumpy. Ning Ke looked at the swaying curtains and was a little bored. He wanted to open the window to take a look, but just when his hand was about to touch the window, something happened behind him. Then there was a sound
"Shush" sound. Ning Ke immediately turned back to look at Lin Manliu and cursed secretly in his heart, I'm paying attention to the changes in the movement here. You are pretending to be asleep here for me, right?
He kicked Lin Manliu behind him, and the face of the young man in a short shirt who was pretending to be sleeping suddenly turned ferocious, and then changed back to his original sleeping appearance.
Seeing that the boy was unconscious, Ning Ke was about to kick him again. Just when he was about to kick out, he heard Lin Manliu sigh, and then the boy whispered: "I'm going to Zhujian Peak. Try to see and move as little as possible. I'll tell you how to proceed." I will inform Brother Yu Ning in time."
Ning Ke said "oh" and continued to turn around and look at the car curtain. What she didn't notice was that except for the line about "disgusting Lin Manliu", everything else was her own female voice.
...After almost a stick of incense, the carriage finally stopped. Lin Manliu also woke up with his eyes opened, held Ning Ke's shoulders and stood up, and took the lead to get out of the carriage.
Ning Ke saw that Lin Manliu had just touched her shoulder. He was about to get angry and was about to continue kicking the boy in a short shirt. However, he noticed that Lin Manliu had his left hand behind his back and gestured to him. Only then did Ning Ke stop thinking. He was planning to do something wrong, so he asked me to wait in the car for a while?
After Lin Manliu got out of the carriage, he saw the main gate of Zhujian Peak. He had come to Zhujian Peak several times before, mostly at the small pavilion on the mountain road to practice swordsmanship with Senior Sister Qiao. Today was the first time. Come here.
Li Junce had already led everyone from Zhujian Peak to the left side of the mountain gate, waiting for Lin Manliu to quickly step forward. Seeing this, the boy in a short shirt had no choice but to rush over and salute Li Junce and everyone behind him one by one.
"Young man Liu Manlin, I have met the seniors of Zhujian Peak," Lin Manliu said.
"You are such a talented young man. When I was a swordsman, I was already a little older than Liu Xiaoyou," someone said behind Li Junce.
"Yes, yes, I remember that I traveled with the mountain master to the mountains and rivers in the past..." Another person said, but before he could finish his words, he immediately stopped talking and then let out a long sigh.
After Lin Manliu said this, he felt a trace of displeasure on Li Junce's face. Although he tried his best to act as a kind elder, at that moment, he still had the intention to say something to the person behind him. meaning of dissatisfaction.
"Today, Little Friend Liu is visiting my Sword Forging Peak, so he came with me. He has already ordered his servants to prepare meals, and is just waiting for Little Friend Liu to come in with him... Where are Little Friend Liu's colleagues?" Li Junce said with a smile, but at the end of his words Deliberately asked where Ning Ke was.
Li Junce noticed something strange when Lin Manliu got out of the car, and he didn't say it until now, as if he was telling Lin Manliu that if he wanted to play tricks, he should not leave easily.
"My friend injured his leg and foot a few days ago, and I dragged him around the city again today. I just said that his foot injury has another attack. I want to rest in the car for a while, Li Gongfeng forgives me." Lin Manliu said with an extremely sincere attitude, To outsiders, it looks like the junior who made a mistake is apologizing to his elders.
"Nothing, nothing, a weak scholar cannot suffer like this. After I pick up Liu Xiaoyou's friend later, I will order the doctor in the peak to take a look at him." Li Junce immediately waved his hands and said with a smile.
"Then I'll thank Li Chongfeng in advance," Lin Manliu said, cupping his hands. At this moment, a child's voice suddenly came from the mountain gate: "Uncle Li has been socializing a lot recently. My father is away to support Yuezhou, and Uncle Li has already invited several guests?"
Li Junce's face turned gloomy with his back to the gate of Zhujian Peak, but his smile disappeared. He said directly: "My nephew has wrongly blamed my uncle. My second brother rushed to help Yuezhou. As a brother, I naturally want to help my second brother." It’s about sharing worries.”
Lin Manliu heard the voice seemed familiar, so he looked towards the mountain gate. Isn't it Qiao Yunian?
Qiao Yunnian also saw Lin Manliu's figure. His eyes lit up and he quickly rushed to the mountain gate. His hands began to shake and he kept shouting excited shouts of children.
When he was about to pass by Li Junce, he suddenly changed from yelling to shouting, and he shouted loudly: "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! You are finally back."
Li Junce, who originally planned to say something to stop Qiao Yunnian from messing around, was slightly startled when he heard this. Although Li Junce had already guessed in his heart, the eldest daughter of the Qiao family was willing to give the mountain trip made by his second brother to Liu Manlin. , presumably the relationship between the two is unusual.
But when he called out...brother-in-law directly from this time, Li Junce didn't know how to answer the call.
Lin Manliu saw the confused look on the middle-aged man in front of him, and immediately explained: "Children are joking...Li Gongfeng must not take it seriously."
When Li Junce saw the boy in a short shirt speaking out to save the situation, he coughed out of embarrassment this time, and the warm smile from before reappeared on his face.
But Ning Ke, who was sitting in the carriage, heard clearly what was said in front of the mountain gate, and began to sigh in his heart, Lin Manliu, you can do it, you are no longer accompanied by a beautiful woman when you go out, but you have that beautiful girl at home. Yeah...
