Lie Junhou [Rebirth]

"Shao... who is it?"

Lin Yi almost blurted out the other party's name, realizing that he didn't know Shao Chongyou yet, so he stopped talking immediately.

With his back to the window, Shao Chongyou's face was hidden in the darkness, and he ordered coldly: "Take your people and follow me."

He took off the sword from his waist and stood there holding the sword, waiting for Lin Yi.

Even though he was motionless, his upright figure exuded an aura, as if he would make a fatal move from the darkness at any time.

Lin Yi and him looked at each other in the dark room for a moment, then got up and wrapped He Xiheng's coat first.

Xiaoxi was in a sleepless sleep, Lin Yi held him in his arms, and looked at Shao Chongyou not far or near: "My father asked you to come?"

Lin Yi lived in northern Xinjiang in his last life. He had to kill the enemy on the battlefield, train his soldiers when he returned to the camp, and deal with various forces.

Later, Shao Chongyou found him, and only said that he came according to the old master's order, and helped Lin Yi solve countless hidden arrows and bright guns.

The world is full of fear of Lin Yi, and Shao Chong is one of the few people who stand by his side under the name of his innocence.

Shao Chongyou is by no means a person who draws his sword when he sees injustice, there must be a reason for what he does.

In the last life, he was entrusted by the old Hou Ye to help him.Now that I came to him earlier than in the previous life, it must still be the case.

There was no light in the room, and the moonlight filtered in. Lin Yi's red dress was vivid in the room, and a stroke of red stood in the dark ink.

"Exactly." After a while, Shao Chongyou replied with a cold voice.

Lin Yi didn't suspect him, so he woke up the housekeeper in the next room, told the housekeeper not to light the lamp, and quietly went to let the accompanying people prepare to leave.

Even though it was late at night, there were still residents inside and outside the inn. The merchants from a long distance used this place as their foothold. The lights in the lobby were cast up, and the staff and merchants could be faintly heard talking in and out of the hotel. Everything seemed very ordinary.

"What's going on, you want to leave in the middle of the night?" Lin Yi asked Shao Chongyou standing in the semi-dark corridor on the second floor.

The butler woke up everyone, and the attendants were well-trained. The doors of the rooms in the corridor opened one by one, and people came and went in the dark.

Holding the sword, Shao Chong still stood in the shadows, his eyebrows and eyes were unclear, and the smooth and sharp curve of his jaw could be faintly seen. He slightly tilted his head and looked at the window of the room: "Jiang Liuge is here tonight, and he wants to kill someone."

Lin Yi's heart sank, and he immediately understood.The assassins of Jiangliu Pavilion are well-known, and the six southern Xinjiang masters always appear together. The six monsters' sword formation is like a poisonous net. Even Shao Chongyou can only win by a narrow margin.

Most of them came here tonight to target King Jingyang, Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang's people lived on the third floor, and Lin Yi looked up at the direction of the stairs: "The man from Jiangliu Pavilion is going to kill the brother upstairs?"

Shao Chong still glanced at Lin Yi, and nodded as expected: "It's him, but they won't let you go if you're here."

Lin Yi understood that Jiang Liu's Excellency would rather kill by mistake than let him go. One of Xiao Fang and himself is a royal family, the other is a noble family, and they live in the same place. When the time comes, they will all be implicated regardless of you and me.

Lin Yi handed He Xiheng, who was sleeping in his arms, to the butler who came over.

"Master, everyone is ready and ready to go at any time." The butler and two attendants came over.

"What are they going to do? Do you know about this?"

Lin Yi frowned, Xiao Fang didn't know there was an assassin coming, did he?The people he brought didn't seem to be elite, and he might not be optimistic about dealing with Jiangliu Pavilion.

With a sword in his hand, Shao Chongyou was leaning against the doorpost on one side of the corridor, and the door of the room beside him was open to the moonlight, illuminating his appearance, which was as deep and sharp as a chisel, with thin lips and high nose, and an indifferent expression.

He was slender and neatly dressed, looking at Lin Yi and the others.

Unsurprisingly, Shao Chongyou said lightly——

"Do you know, what does it matter?"

He obviously knew Xiao Fang's identity, but he didn't care about his life or death. Lin Yi knew that he had always been like this.

It is not easy to make friends with Shao Chongyou. After rebirth, the friendship of those years has been wiped out, which is a pity for Lin Yi.

But I can't ignore this matter, otherwise, if something happens to Xiao Fang, how can the Hou Fu get rid of the relationship.

He turned his head and said to the housekeeper: "Look at Xiheng, you go down first." Then he turned around and went upstairs to find Xiao Fang.

Shao Chongyou's eyes followed Lin Yi, his quiet eyes were closed in the moonlight, he looked at it for a moment, then reached out to stop Lin Yi, turned around and went upstairs by himself.

Lin Yi saw that he was willing to meddle in his own business, so he waited where he was, but after a while, Shao Chongyou came back, followed by Xiao Fang and others, who were already fully equipped, and went down the stairs.

It seems that Xiao Fang also got the news, knowing that Jiangliu Pavilion is not easy to deal with, so he decided to leave early.

Xiao Fang didn't know what he was thinking, there seemed to be a trace of displeasure on his handsome face, but it disappeared quickly, and he still had a gentle and kind appearance.

When he saw Lin Yi, he walked over and smiled gracefully: "I was going to inform you, but now it seems just right." His eyes swept over Shao Chongyou who was beside Lin Yi, and he nodded slightly in greeting.

Lin Yi smiled and said: "Brother has a heart." Shao Chongyou returned to Lin Yi, watched from the side, and did not speak.

Neither of the two sides broke the news, but they both knew what was going on. Lin Yi felt a little funny. A prince and a prince didn't bring elite guards. When they met top assassins, they had to run away at night.

If Lin Yi was in normal health and worked together with Shao Chongyou to deal with the people in Jiangliu Pavilion, he would naturally not worry about it, but now that he is ill and dragging his family along, he can only act expediently.

Downstairs, the inn lobby is still brightly lit. At night, merchants arrive one after another, unload their goods, and sit around the table in twos and threes, drinking and punching. It seems more lively than during the day.

As long as Lin Yi and Xiao Fang leave, even if Jiangliu Pavilion's assassins come, they will not touch these irrelevant people, otherwise they must kill every dog ​​and dog inside and outside the inn.

A group of people passed by the lobby, and a thin young man with dirty clothes and disheveled hair suddenly rushed over. Shao Chongyou drew out a long sword with a sheath in his hand, stopped him, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

The young man was stopped by him, half kneeling and half sitting on the ground, and immediately got up again, raising his head and crying, his voice hoarse and jerky: "Help... my sister..."

As he talked, he was flustered and mixed with an unknown language outside the Great Wall, and he kept gesticulating with his hands.

Lin Yi understood his intermittent crying, and asked, "Your sister was arrested? In this inn?"

Shao Chongyou frowned slightly.The businessman who was drinking next to him suddenly stood up when he saw the situation. The man was very strong, his face was blackened by wind and frost, and there were a few old scars on his face.

He ignored Lin Yi and the others as if there was no one else around, rushed over and kicked the young man rudely, grabbed his hair and dragged him outside the door, cursing at the people outside the door: "Why did you tell him to run out, what are you doing?" !"

With that ruthless and rude energy, it seemed that the young man was not as good as a beast in his eyes.

The young man was emaciated, dragged to the ground while struggling and shouting, while looking at Lin Yi, his eyes were full of haste for help.

While he was struggling, the string of beads on his body fell apart and rolled all over the ground. Lin Yi glanced down, and a dark brown bead was stopping at his toes.

Lin Yi's expression sank immediately, and he strode forward and clasped the merchant's wrist. His slender fingers couldn't see how hard he was, so the merchant let go with a low growl, backed up a few steps in pain, and stared at Lin Yi. Yi.

Lin Yi was dazzled in red, with a raised brow, standing between the merchant and the young man, with half smile and half anger in his eyes, staring firmly at the merchant, suddenly revealing an unruly and arrogant aggressiveness.

The merchant was originally glaring, but he was forced to take a step back by his momentum, he turned his head and cursed and shouted, and then several people outside the courtyard heard the sound.

Seeing this, Xiao Fang immediately raised his hand to make a gesture, and the attendants rushed forward to block the merchants.

Xiao Fang is not surrounded by elite guards, but they are more than enough to deal with ordinary thugs. The merchants are afraid to step forward for a while, and the two sides are in a stalemate.

Shao Chongyou frowned, not wanting to waste time, and was about to step forward to take Lin Yi away forcibly, but saw Lin Yi turn around, bent down to pick up a spilled bead.

Lin Yi bent down on one knee, squatted down and looked at the boy, his tone softened: "Your sister, what's her name?"

The young man knelt and climbed forward, and the lights in the lobby cast shadows on him. He knelt on the semi-dark ground with stains on his face, but his eyes were black and white. He opened his eyes wide and said hoarsely to Lin Yi: "Ulun Jule... Please, save her..."

Lin Yi's eyes sank.

In his last life, when he was trapped in Mohun Pass, in the wilderness, and almost died of thirst, a woman from Saibei gave him a bag of water.

The woman's face was terrifying, full of scars, and her face was completely ruined.

She saved his life, and when she went back, there was no direction in the vast yellow sand, and Lin Yi couldn't find her.

She couldn't even speak clearly, but she kept encouraging him to keep him awake. When she parted, she gave Lin Yi a string of old beads. Lin Yi could hear the two words she kept repeating clearly—one was "Ulun" Zhule", one is "brother".

Lin Yi held the dusty beads between his fingers.Knowing that Lin Yi could understand what he said in front of him, the young man murmured excitedly.

Xiao Fang was a little confused for a moment, he frowned and asked, "What does this kid mean?"

Shao Chongyou could also understand the boy's language, and said coldly, "I was sold here."

Xiao Xin was clear in his heart and guessed the reason.

Both the boy and his sister were arrested, Ren Yazi stopped here halfway, he escaped and wanted to save his sister.

"It's right behind...in the yard!"

The young man looked up at Lin Yi, his eyes were full of begging and despair, and there was a hint of stubbornness.

There are bright lights behind Lin Yi, squatting in front of him, with a handsome face and a serious expression, the young man wanted to reach out, but he didn't dare to touch Lin Yi's crimson clothes.

The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion waited for a long time, he hugged He Xiheng and came in with two guards to look for Lin Yi. Upon seeing this, he immediately stepped forward: "Master..."

Shao Chong still glanced at Lin Yi, his eyes were deep, and there was an emotionless warning in his words: "They will arrive in an hour at most."

Lin Yi raised his head and smiled at him: "It's too late."

Immediately got up, wrapped Xiao Xiheng's robe tightly in the butler's arms, stretched out his hand to take a long dagger from the guard's waist and pinned it to his waist, and said to the butler: "You take Xiheng and the others to set off, and leave two horses Give me the horse."

Lin Yi turned around and helped the young man on the ground with one hand. The young man staggered forward and led the way to the backyard.

The butler had to take the order to leave. Shao Chong still didn't go out with Lin Yi, but turned to look at Xiao Fang: "Why don't you leave first, Your Excellency?"

Xiao Fang smiled, shook his head, did not withdraw his people, and said friendly and calmly: "It's not in a hurry, so it's okay to wait."

It's very moral, the assassin came because of him, Lin Yi was implicated innocently, he couldn't just run for his own life, he still had to wait for others.

The scar-faced businessman became impatient and shouted, the thugs under him drew their knives one after another, and Xiao Fang's entourage also immediately drew their knives, and the two sides were at war.

Xiao Fang simply sat down at the table in the lobby, and signaled his subordinates to let go of the scar-faced businessman alone, even if he couldn't turn the sky around.

The young man stumbled and led Lin Yi all the way to the stables in the backyard, where a crude carriage was parked.

Lin Yi broke open the locked carriage door, which was dirty and shabby, but empty.

Seeing this, the young man froze on the spot with his eyes wide open, looking around in a panic, trying to find the trace of his sister, when he saw the scar-faced businessman chasing him, he rushed up to grab the businessman, collided with him desperately, Shout out questions.

The scar-faced merchant was tall and tall, and he pushed the boy away. Lin Yi immediately supported the boy with one hand, and pulled out the long dagger around his waist with the other hand. A cold light fell on the merchant's neck in an instant: "Where is the person?"

The merchant froze for a moment, but he was used to this kind of scene, he was used to being a local snake, and he didn't think this handsome noble boy could do anything to him, so he cursed: "Who is he! He's lying in the brothel, go find him!" !"

Lin Yi's eyes were cold, and he raised his foot and kicked the merchant's chest fiercely. Although he couldn't use his internal strength, he still kicked him until he almost vomited blood and flew back.

Lin Yi leaped forward to catch up, without looking, he bent down and stabbed the long dagger down and then pulled it out immediately. The merchant's arm was bleeding profusely, and he curled up in pain.

Lin Yi knelt down to support him: "Say!"

The scar-faced merchant said angrily in pain: "I haven't touched her yet, can you snatch her away? Just dream!"

Lin Yi stabbed him again in the shoulder without hesitation. Before pulling it out this time, the blade even twisted subtly, and the merchant almost passed out from the pain.

The blade pressed against the merchant's neck again, and blood trickled down to the ground.

A faint smile curled up at the corner of Lin Yi's mouth, and the end of his eyes twitched lazily: "Besides, where can I find it?"

The merchant immediately knew that if he kept his mouth stubborn, the young man would stab himself into a sieve and die. This method of coercion was so sophisticated and terrifying.

"In...in the room..."

Lin Yi left the merchant, grabbed the boy, turned and ran into the small building of the inn, walked through the corridor, heard a faint cry from a room, and kicked the door open.

The boy rushed in with a scream, knocked away the two men, threw himself on the side of the woman who was curled up on the ground, and shouted: "Sister! Sister!"

The two men, one tall and thin and the other muscular, stood condescendingly aside, startled and angry, the muscular man raised his foot and was about to kick the boy.

Lin Yi's fingertips moved slightly, and the long dagger spun loosely in his hand. He jumped forward, grabbed the strong man, and with ingenious strength in his hand, he twisted the man's arm and threw it on the ground, and his arm suddenly dislocated .

The knife in the man's hand fell to the ground at the same time, and Lin Yi caught a glimpse of the blood on the knife edge, and his eyes became even colder.

The tall and thin man turned around and picked up the soldering iron in the charcoal basin and threw it over. Sparks flew immediately. Lin Yi dodged sideways, turned and kicked him, kicking him to the corner of the table, blood streaming down his face.

Lin Yi stepped forward to check on the girl. The girl was sixteen or seventeen years old. She was cut several times with a knife and kicked to leave gray marks on her body. She huddled beside her brother in fear. not destroyed.

"Ulunjule." Lin Yi said softly.

Ulunjule recovered, and immediately cried with his voice suppressed. The boy hugged his sister's shoulders tightly and looked at Lin Yi.

"What's your name?" Lin Yi picked up Wulun Zhule horizontally and walked to the lobby. The young man followed behind him silently.

"Su Le." The boy replied.

After walking a few steps, the boy suddenly reached out and took away the long dagger from Lin Yi's waist, then turned around and ran back to the room, Lin Yi turned around and shouted: "Su Le!"

But it was too late, and soon two screams came from the room.

Su Le walked out holding the long dagger, the long dagger was covered with blood again, and there was cold resentment remaining on his face.

Lin Yi frowned slightly, but Su Le's expression became very sad, and he explained: "They captured a lot, tribal...girls."

This is not the first time this has happened.

Lin Yi sighed secretly and stopped blaming him.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled softly, dispelling the haze, and raised his chin towards Su Le: "Let's go." Then he turned around holding Ulun Zhule, and stepped into the light of the lobby.

Su Le was stunned, Lin Yi's flying smile was engraved in his eyes, his expression was almost dazzling, he looked at the back of Lin Yi's crimson robe, and followed him fascinated.

But after leaving for a while, the lobby was in a mess, with blood everywhere.

The merchant's thugs fell to the ground, the number of them was much larger than before, while Shao Chong was still at the side, quietly wiping the blood on the Wanren sword.

The corners of his clothes were stained with blood, and the embroidery on his boots was stained dark red, but his face was cold and handsome, clean.

Lin Yi knew at a glance that the merchant was anxious just now and wanted to do something wrong, but he was cleaned up instead.

"Time is running out, let's go." Shao Chongyou put the sword back into its sheath.

The sky is dim, the lanterns outside the inn building have been burned out, and the sky over the misty field is still dark.

"I'm Xiao Fang, I don't know the name of my brother yet." When parting, Xiao Fang asked them, without the slightest embarrassment of running for their lives, and without the airs of royal nobles.

Shao Chongyou got on the horse directly, as if staying out of the matter, and didn't reply.

Lin Yi bowed to Xiao Fang, pretending to know what he looked like, and said with a smile: "So it's the Fourth Prince", and then said, "I'm Lin Yi."

Thinking that he had blocked arrows for him in his last life, Lin Yi glanced at him again.

Xiao Fang thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "I have heard for a long time that the young master of Lie Junhou's mansion in Yingzhou has an extraordinary appearance and is honored to meet you today."

Lin Yi smiled and said: "I didn't know I was so famous." He looked down at the empty waist, and missed his own lightsaber.

Lin Yi helped Ulunjule onto the horse, asked Sule to take his sister to ride a horse, and told him to follow him and not to be brave.

Several people rushed to catch up with Hou's team after dawn.

The brocade in the carriage was fragrant and soft, and He Xi woke up from his sleep. He leaned over the window of the carriage and looked back: "Uncle, will you take me to Jinling to meet the emperor?"

Lin Yi sat on the horseback, pushed Xiao Xiheng back into the carriage and sat down, and asked the guards to vacate a carriage for the Sule siblings. He squinted his eyes and smiled slightly in the sun: "See what the emperor, uncle will take you home .”

Lie Junhou's mansion is in Yingzhou.

The four seasons are distinct in Yingzhou, and now in the height of spring, there are thousands of fragrant flowers one after another, the wind is blowing and the sun is warming, and the buildings in the city are scattered with cornices, bustling and bustling.

Shao Chong still sent Lin Yi and the others outside the city, and then turned to a fork in the road. Lin Yi thanked him, and he turned his horse's head, leaving a back view.

"No one will think about your tribe anymore." Lin Yi asked his attendants to take Sule and Ulunjule back home. He handed Sule a letter and asked him to submit it to the border state capital, and someone would come To investigate and deal with the kidnapping of people from outside the pass.

Putting the re-worn string of beads in the palm of Su Le's hand: "Take care of your sister, if you have something to do in the future, you can use this to find me."

Feeling timid near the hometown, Lin Yi left for eight years in his last life and failed to return to the Hou Mansion. Now sitting on horseback, he was a proud young man again.

The bustling pedestrians looked back from time to time and said to the people around them: "The one in red is the young master."

He looked carefully at everything around him, Xiaoxi smiled and asked, "What are you looking for, Uncle?"

Lin Yi's eyebrows were flying, his eyes were shining, he smiled and put Xiao Xiheng on the horse back in front of him, and rode with him: "I'm going home, I'm not looking for anything."

Stepping into Hou's Mansion, there are layers of courtyards and gates. Lin Yi walks through the green brick corridor, and the old trees cast a mottled halo.

Xiaoxi ran away as soon as he hit the ground.When people in the mansion along the road saw Lin Yi, they all smiled and said "Hello, Young Master", as if he just went out yesterday, and those years of tossing and wandering were nothing but a big dream, while he was just drunk and woke up now .

"The master and the eldest lady will come over in the afternoon." said the servant in the mansion.

In the distance, there is a bustling wine shop, a singing girl stroking the strings, and her voice is ethereal: "...Jiangling is exhausted, holding a sword to find a red dress..."

The second uncle and sister were not at home. Lin Yi thought of something, so he went to the Shenyuan behind the mansion, stopped in front of a heavy garden gate with red lacquer and copper buttons, and looked up.

A simple and simple plaque hangs above the gate of the garden, with the word "Duyuan" written on it, meaningful and elegant.

In the distance, the singer plucked the strings, and the music followed the wind: "...for ten years, you have been smiling, and you are drinking alone under the lamp..."

Lin Yi held the old door knocker, and the two vermilion garden doors "squeaked" and pushed open——

In an instant, the pale gold and warm sun poured down, the shallow hills and pavilions were separated by a pool of clear water, and the courtyard was full of rhododendrons, which suddenly filled the sky with the spring breeze.

Lin Yi was about to step in, but he caught a glimpse of a pale green figure, who was elegant and tall, standing on the porch.

"who are you?"

Across the pool water and the flowers, Lin Yi asked softly.

Bao Xi's stream of light fell on the man's shoulders, and he turned around from under the flowers when he heard the sound, and looked up at Lin Yi, with a gentle smile on his brows.
