After all, he only invited Lone Star out of the mountain with the help of the old man.
After a burst of heartbeat, Jiang Zheng nodded and replied truthfully.
"Back to Emperor Ancestor, Lone Star has indeed fallen in Tianyun. I just learned the news."
"That's it..."
Hearing Jiang Zheng's words, the old man did not react much and still focused on the fishing line in front of him.
The old man seemed to have anticipated the fall of Lone Star.
Thinking of Lone Star's last message, Jiang Zheng quickly recounted it to the old man.
"Emperor, Lone Star contacted me the day before he died, saying that he speculated that Yuan Lie's death was related to..."
"Let's not mention this for now!"
What Jiang Zheng didn't expect was that the old man interrupted him.
Jiang Zheng looked at the old man in surprise and asked in confusion: "Emperor, isn't this why you called me here?"
The old man looked serious: "No!"
"Then you are?" The old man's answer made Jiang Zheng a little confused.
The old man put down the fishing rod and said in a deep voice: "It is a major event related to the future destiny of Dongchu."
"What?"
Hearing the old man's words, the expression on Jiang Zheng's face instantly became horrified.
…
One evening a few days later, Lin Yu quietly appeared in a busy street.
This is a small border town located in the southern part of Xia'an County near Daoming Kingdom, called Zhenyue City.
Lin Yu came here specially today because he wanted to meet someone.
Following the crowded street, Lin Yu came to a pork stall on the street.
At this time, a middle-aged woman was buying meat at the meat stall.
"Butcher Zhang, give me two pounds of pork belly!"
"okay!"
The rugged man with a beard at the meat stall picked up a half-moon butcher knife, made two simple gestures on the large piece of pork, and then cut off a good piece of pork belly.
Beside him, a young boy skillfully took the pork belly cut by the man, picked up the scale and weighed it, and then reported excitedly to the man.
"Master, it's a lot of weight!"
"good!"
After hearing the young man's words, the man nodded with satisfaction, then wrapped the pork in oil paper and gave it to the woman.
"Sister, this is your pork belly."
The woman took the pork belly, paid the money for the meat to the boss, and then left the pork stall.
After the woman left, the butcher stall owner discovered that there was a young man in black across the street, silently observing him, and the figure of this man seemed somewhat familiar.
When the boss squinted his eyes to carefully identify the person's appearance, he suddenly showed an extremely horrified expression.
Seeing that the meat stall owner had seen him, Lin Yu slowly walked towards him.
"Long time no see, Pound!"
Yes, the ordinary butcher stall owner in front of him was Pang De, the bandit who taught Lin Yu how to practice in Wuling Mountain.
It was also through Yinlong's intelligence network that Lin Yu found Pang De, who was hiding here anonymously.
Before going to Dongchu, Lin Yu wanted to see this old friend again.
Seeing Lin Yu in front of him, Pang De immediately gave instructions to the young man beside him.
"Xiao Sun, close the stall!"
When the young man heard this, he also looked at Pang De with confusion.
"Master, is it closing so early? There will be neighbors coming to sell meat soon!"
Pang De looked serious: "Close the door now, immediately! Your master and I have to receive distinguished guests today!"
"I see!"
Hearing what Pang De said, the young man had no choice but to hang a closed sign in front of the stall and began to pack away the pork from the stall.
The young man was a little confused. He, his master, had no relatives or friends in Zhenyue City. Why did a distinguished guest suddenly come today?
Thinking of this, the young man also looked at the young man in black in front of him with some curiosity.
This man seemed to be about the same age as himself, much taller than him, and his body was not strong, but his clothes seemed a little tight, and he should have strong muscles under his clothes.
He wore a harmless smile, but it gave people a feeling of extreme danger.
Especially those eyes, which seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts with just one glance. Looking at them made him feel very frightened, and Xiao Sun did not dare to look into his eyes.
"Who is this person?"
Xiao Sun also had some doubts about this young man with a unique temperament.
Pang De led Lin Yu into the butcher shop with his face glowing and laughed.
"Haha, Lin Yu, let me show you around my shop!"
Lin Yu nodded and walked into the butcher shop with Pang De with a smile on his face.
Looking at this simple butcher shop, Lin Yu also had many questions in his mind.
When he came to the back room, Pang De asked Lin Yu to sit down and made Lin Yu a cup of tea.
Once inside the house, it was easier to talk. Pang De sighed as he handed the tea to Lin Yu.
"Lin Yu, you have changed so much! I haven't seen you for half a year, and I almost don't recognize you anymore!"
In the past six months, practicing day and night has made Lin Yu's appearance change a lot. His face has become more mature and firm, his figure has become taller, and even his temperament is completely different. Just standing here gives Pound an invisible... pressure.
Today's Lin Yu is absolutely incomparable in strength.
Pang De secretly guessed that Lin Yu today might be able to compete with the Siamese monk Putuo back then.
If Pang De knew that Lin Yu's strength at this moment had reached the peak of the Martial Emperor, he would probably be shocked.
Lin Yu took the tea cup and said with a smile: "Haha, my change is nothing."
Lin Yu looked at Pang De with some doubts.
"It's you, Pang De, why would you think of opening a butcher shop in a place like this?"
At this time, Pound's appearance did not change much from before, but he now had a large black beard on his face.
Pang De explained: "Haha, Xiaosun's father was a brother of mine in the past. He was retiring here because of an injury. I came to Zhenyue City to see him. Unexpectedly, he passed away due to illness. Leave it to me, Xiao Sun."
"In order to make a living for this kid in the future, I changed my name to Zhang Yong and opened a butcher shop here. I don't know anything else. I'm fairly proficient in killing pigs and sheep. On weekdays, Life is quite comfortable."
"I plan to hand over this shop to Xiao Sun after I bring him out."
"It seems that you are quite satisfied with your current life."
Unexpectedly, the former ruthless deputy leader of the Tielong Gang would be willing to work as a butcher in this butcher shop. Lin Yu also felt that the world was really wonderful.
"Actually, I never thought about it. I originally thought that in my life, I would either die by someone else's knife or die in prison. I didn't expect that I would be able to live such a comfortable life today."
Pang De looked at Lin Yu with blazing eyes and said with a smile: "All of this... is because of you."
"Because of me?" Lin Yu was stunned.
At this time, Pang De suddenly seemed to deliberately change the subject and asked Lin Yu: "By the way, how did you know I was here?"
"I asked a friend to find out." Lin Yu replied.
"Oh, that's how it is……"
Although Pang De didn't have much reaction on his face, he was secretly surprised in his heart.
Trying to find someone without any clues was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Lin Yu found himself in the vast sea of people. It seemed that he had also made some friends with great powers in the past six months.
Pound asked again: "Why did you think of coming to me today?"
When Pang De asked about the reason for his visit today, Lin Yu also said with a serious face.
"I have to leave Tianyun Country next, and I may not come back for a long time."
"So before I leave, let me see you, my old friend."
"Oh, that's it..." Pang De said softly.
Pang De didn't expect that when he took advantage of Lin Yu like this, Lin Yu was still thinking about him. His conscience, which he had abandoned for many years, was actually a little touched at this time.
"Lin Yu..." Pang De called Lin Yu softly.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Pang De suddenly calling him, Lin Yu was also a little confused.
Pang De lowered his head heavily and said in shame: "Lin Yu, I was also blinded by revenge at that time, and I took advantage of you. I am really... sorry!"
Seeing that Pang De was still brooding about what happened at the beginning, Lin Yu laughed.
"You don't have to care so much. Let the past be bygones."
"Um?"
Seeing Lin Yu's reaction, Pang De was dumbfounded.
"Lin Yu, don't you blame me?"
He clearly remembered how terrifying Lin Yu's reaction was when he found out that he was using him half a year ago.
Pang De could feel that if he had left even one second later, he would have been torn apart by Lin Yu.
Lin Yu smiled calmly: "I can somewhat understand your mood now."
It was only after Fang Chen died that Lin Yu finally understood Pang De's desire to avenge his eldest brother that day.
But Lin Yu's generous reaction surprised Pang De. He didn't understand what happened to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu said again: "Well, since everything has passed, there is no need to talk about it anymore."
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Pang De wiped the corners of his eyes, instantly turned into a smiling face, and looked up at Lin Yu.
"Lin Yu, since you are here today, don't leave. Stay here for a meal before leaving."
Faced with Pang De's warm invitation, Lin Yu felt helpless.
"Sorry, Pang De, I still have something important to do, and I have to leave soon."
"That's it..."
Seeing that Lin Yu still had important matters to deal with, although Pang De was a little reluctant, he couldn't say much.
Immediately, he stuck his head out and shouted instructions to the door.
"Xiao Sun, bring me twenty kilograms of good pork."
"Yes!" Xiao Sun's echo came from outside the door.
Seeing Pang De's behavior, Lin Yu was also a little puzzled.
"Pang De, didn't I say I wouldn't stay for dinner? What are you doing?"
Pang De smiled slyly: "Haha, Lin Yu, I don't want to cook, these twenty pounds of meat are for you to take back."
"Bring back?"
Lin Yu heard this and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
"There's no need for it, Pang De. It's better for you to keep the money and sell it."
