Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 38 Improvisation
These words not only complimented and praised Lin Yu, but also made his own position clear, without losing the demeanor of a Tang Dynasty official or a Chang'an County Lieutenant.

I have to say, Su Wuming is better at talking than Lu Lingfeng!

The corners of Lin Yu's mouth curled up slightly under the mask.

At the same time, seeing his cousin saluting Lin Yu and preparing to salute him, Su Haoming sighed in his heart, sheathed his sword immediately, and stepped forward to help his cousin up.

Su Wuming was slightly stunned, then his face showed joy, as if he thought his words had touched the two of them.

Little did he know that Su Haoming just didn't want to see his cousin bowing to him like that!

This move was naturally not in the script.

Or to be more precise, they had no script at all and everything was improvisation.

Taking on a role of this level is naturally not a problem for Lin Yu.

His expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Su Wuming and said calmly, "Chang'an County Magistrate... Could it be that you are that disciple of Di Gong, Su Wuming?"

Su Wuming was startled again, and quickly bowed and said, "Yes, it is Su. Do you have any history with my teacher?"

Lin Yu glanced at him with interest and said, "Couldn't it be that I've heard of your name?"

Su Wuming laughed. "Your Excellency, you must be joking. Although I am the lieutenant of Chang'an County, I have only been in office for a short time and have not yet made any outstanding achievements. The only thing worth knowing about is my status as a disciple of your mentor!"

"As expected of a disciple of Di Gong!"

Lin Yu exclaimed in admiration, then exerted force on his hands, strangled Yuan Lai unconscious, and threw him towards Su Wuming.

Su Wuming was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly caught Yuan Lai with Jia Bantou and pressed him to the ground.

"For Di Gong's sake, I won't embarrass you today."

As he spoke, Lin Yu took a step forward and walked towards the many men in black in front of him.

The group of men in black remained silent on the surface, but their feet moved unconsciously, making way for Lin Yu.

Su Wuming stood up, bowed, and said solemnly, "Thank you for your help, Excellency... I haven't asked for your name yet."

"...Universe, Baiyujing."

Su Wuming was stunned when he heard this. Is this a name?

No, it’s more like a Buddhist name or a Taoist name or something like that!

Lin Yu didn't explain too much, but just looked at Su Haoming beside him and said lightly: "Yuhao, come quickly."

Su Haoming was stunned for a moment, then he realized that this should be the code name Lin Yu gave him!
Yuhao?

It’s okay, it sounds pretty good!
Su Haoming pondered in his heart, and at the same time squeezed out all the last magic power in his body, barely using half of the Stepping on the Void and Controlling the Wind.

In an instant, Su Haoming's figure seemed to blend into the wind, floating down at a speed that was inconsistent with physical common sense, landing behind Lin Yu, and calmly following him forward.

After passing the men in black on both sides, only Lu Lingfeng and three Jinwu Guards were left in front.

"General Zhonglang!"

The Jinwu Guard beside him called him softly, and the young and proud General Zhonglang finally reacted. He immediately made way and looked at the two people passing by with a complicated expression.

"laugh--"

Accompanied by the sound of stones rubbing against each other, the stone door opened by itself for some reason.

Lin Yu and Su Haoming stepped in and gradually walked away under the complicated gazes of the crowd.

Only after the two figures completely disappeared did everyone, including Su Wuming, breathe a sigh of relief.

He glanced at the silent man in black, snatched the long knife from Jia Bantou, put it to Yuanlai's neck, and shouted angrily:

"Yuan Lai is here, those who surrender will not be killed!"

The others reacted and shouted in unison, "Yuan Lai is here. Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Many men in black had not yet recovered from the mental shock of Lin Yu. When they heard the calls from Su Wuming and his men, they silently threw away their weapons without any intention of resisting.

Seeing this, Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The two looked at each other from a distance, Su Wuming nodded, and waved his hand to order the Chang'an catcher to go down and help.

Lu Lingfeng took three Jinwu guards to keep watch on the spot, and waited for reinforcements to arrive before they went forward together to confiscate weapons and tie up the prisoners.

After an incense stick of time, Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming finally had time to talk.

The two men stood silently in front of the stone gate with their backs to the busy Chang'an catcher.

A moment later, Lu Lingfeng was the first to break the silence. "The man wearing the white jade mask admitted to having a past relationship with Lord Di. County Magistrate Su, as Lord Di's disciple and having served him for many years, has he ever heard of such a figure?"

...Really not!
Su Wuming was about to shake his head when he suddenly remembered what happened to his cousin and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

If there is anyone who even he cannot understand over the years, it is the master behind his cousin!

If it is said that the mentor had indeed found that master and made friends with him, but later chose to conceal the fact for some reason, this is not completely impossible!
Looking at the hesitation on Su Wuming's face, Lu Lingfeng noticed something.

"Su Wuming, do you really have any clues?"

"..."

Su Wuming came back to his senses and shook his head, saying, "It's not really a clue. I just remembered some of my mentor's experiences back then. My mentor always kept his word when it came to important promises. With just these memories, I can't get any important information."

"Compared to this, I care more about the poem they recited when they appeared..."

"In his Pillow Book, Baopuzi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty wrote that Yuanshi Tianwang is located above the center of the sky, on a mountain called Yujing Mountain."

"The Records of the Grand Historian: Annals of Emperor Wu of Han also records that during the time of Emperor Huangdi, five cities and twelve towers were built to await the arrival of the gods and immortals, which was called welcoming the year."

"The so-called 'White Jade Capital in Heaven, with Twelve Towers and Five Cities' probably comes from these two allusions."

Lu Lingfeng said quietly, "What about the last two sentences?"

"..."

Su Wuming fell silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "These four lines of poetry are full of profound artistic conception and extraordinary charm. They are definitely not from the pen of an ordinary person. To be able to write such words, even if the person is not an immortal, at least he has the mindset of a poet immortal!"

It was obvious that Su Wuming didn't want to answer this question directly.

Lu Lingfeng frowned: "Do you really think they are gods?"

Su Wuming shook his head and said, "No, of course not. There are no gods in this world. I used to think so, and I still think so now."

Lu Lingfeng asked in return: "Then how do you explain their methods?"

Su Wuming fell silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "General Zhonglang, you are a martial artist, what do you think?"

Lu Lingfeng shook his head and said, "In my opinion, their methods are definitely not martial arts. I have practiced martial arts for over twenty years, and I am confident that even if I were the best in the world, I could at least hold my own against them. But these two..."

Although Lu Lingfeng didn't finish his words, his meaning was already very clear.

The two looked at each other and fell silent.

"Huanyu, Yuhao, Baiyujing..."

Su Wuming sighed, "The world is so vast, and there are so many wonders. The ancients were right!"

After saying this, he lowered his voice and said, "Since ancient times, the belief in immortals and gods has always been the source of trouble for the royal family. Although the General of the Central Army is a disciple of the Crown Prince, it is best not to reveal everything about today, especially these last two lines of the poem..."

Lu Lingfeng understood and said, "Of course I understand this!"

"The General of the Central Army is indeed a pillar of the country!"

Su Wuming complimented him first, then lowered his voice again and said, "As for the matter of Baiyujing, if the General is interested, you and I can cooperate with each other and investigate secretly."

Lu Lingfeng frowned and asked, "Are you going to form a secret alliance with me?"

Su Wuming said helplessly: "What kind of clique? It's just an investigation. Why make it so serious?"

Lu Lingfeng looked at him suspiciously, and after a moment, nodded slightly.

At the same time, on the stone platform above the cave, Lin Yu and the other person who had returned were listening to their conversation.

Hearing that Su Wuming was going to secretly investigate Bai Yujing, Su Haoming couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth and turned around and said, "Brother Lin, isn't this drama... a bit too much?"

"What are you going through?"

Lin Yu said with great interest, "Think about it, the most mysterious and powerful boss behind the scenes who the protagonists have been investigating for an entire season is actually the protagonist's cousin who they spend every day with. Isn't this a classic development?"

Su Haoming complained: "It's old-fashioned!"

Lin Yu said seriously: "Don't talk about whether it's old-fashioned or not, just tell me whether you are interested!"

Su Haoming thought about it carefully and had to admit that this plot development was indeed quite exciting for him.

but……

Su Haoming shook his head and said, "Even if we really have to arrange a big boss, it has to be Brother Lin. I can just be his right-hand man. If I have to take the center position, I can't hold my own!"
