no soul

"Look, everyone, this noble young master won't even give me money for this bowl of porridge!" The boss tugged at Lin Hong.

Lin Hong was under the scrutiny and guidance of everyone as if he had been stripped naked and executed in public.

"Young master, it's probably the first time you go out, and you don't know that you need to pay for things outside!" A strong man propped his hands on the back of a chair and said loudly.

"Hahahahaha!" Everyone laughed loudly.

"..." Lin Hong didn't bother to talk to him, "I didn't say no, boss, please calm down first."

"Calm down!" The boss grabbed his cloak and did not let go, "I think you have a good horse, use it as collateral!"

"Impossible!" Lin Hong refused.

Bao'er at the door also snorted in protest.

"Then tell me what to do! I don't like paying on credit." The boss said with his arms akimbo in a rage.

"I……"

"Hey! Brother Lin!" Cheng Jinjiu was a little happy to see Lin Hong standing at the door with his sword in his hand, "Why are you here?"

Lin Hong immediately cast him a look of seeing the savior.

Cheng Jinjiu:?

"Thank you Brother Cheng." Lin Hong still hadn't recovered from the embarrassment.

"Small things!" Cheng Jinjiu didn't take it seriously, but was very happy, "I didn't expect to meet you here!"

The two walked on the road side by side.

"It's good to meet you. If I hadn't met you, I could only take my jade pendant." Lin Hong touched the famous horse under its crotch. It is impossible to mortgage his Bao'er, even in this life. .

"Brother Cheng, what are you going to do in the south?" Lin Hong looked at him.

"I resigned as a guard," Cheng Jinjiu said, "I'm still a leisurely ranger. I don't have anything to do when I go to the south, so I just want to go south."

"Brother Cheng is really inferior to being a bodyguard." Lin Hong commented.

"It's too far behind Brother Wan," Cheng Jinjiu said, "Speaking of which, where is Brother Wan? Why don't you see him?"

"He...is not my guard..." Lin Hong had a headache...

"What!" Cheng Jinjiu was stunned, "He is the Iron Horse General!"

"No wonder, no wonder...it turned out to be the Great General! I said why is he so powerful."

"Tsk, brother Lin, you didn't see that he ran back and forth on that long street without panting, and his arm strength is also amazing. I'm a big man and I'm not light and I'm soaked in water. In the waves, he He lifted me up completely! I turned around and he ran a few miles away!" Cheng Jinjiu's admiration was beyond words.

"Also, you really didn't see that when fighting with those three men in black, his sword skills... his body skills... I have been in the rivers and lakes for several years, and I have seen countless people, and it is unmatched! And ah……"

Cheng Jinjiu started talking endlessly as soon as he boasted.

Lin Hong: "..." No matchmaker would dare to boast so much to him...

Cheng Jinjiu finally finished boasting, "Speaking of which, isn't Brother Lin from Pingyang? The south is not peaceful, so why go to the south?"

"I... went to find him." Lin Hong said.

In fact, Lin Hong didn't even think about what he could do in the past. If there was a war on the front line, his going would only add to the chaos, not to mention whether he could successfully enter the barracks to meet Wan Guchuan.

But last night, the spirit of drinking was overpowering, and he just wanted to chase him, and he really wanted to see him.

At least he wanted to get closer to him. No matter whether he could meet or not, Lin Hong felt that he would receive good news sooner in Jiangnan than in Pingyang.

Cheng Jinjiu spoke bluntly, "There is one thing I dare not jump to conclusions—are you and Brother Wan family members? Ah! If you offend me, don't take it to heart! I have seen a lot in Jianghu, and I have no prejudices."

"...No." Lin Hong thought for a while, "Not yet."

"Oh...you don't know, you lost him and he was so anxious that he was going crazy, looking for you all over the city, I followed him all the way, trying to persuade him to calm down, and he even brought up others for questioning, making people cry gone."

Cheng Jinjiu began to narrate vividly.

Lin Hong touched his nose.

The two of them went south on the same road, and it would not be boring to have a companion on the road.Cheng Jinjiu talked about what he saw and heard as a ranger, and Lin Hong talked about the rich life in the capital.

The two of them had lunch on the way, so Lin Hong could only have another meal with Cheng Jinjiu in embarrassment.

Cheng Jinjiu was very happy.

As the sun was setting, the two arrived in front of the tall city gate of Qicheng.

Pray for the city to be prosperous, with people coming and going, and cars and horses constantly flowing.

The two led the horse into the city.

"Brother Cheng, if you don't mind, you can come to the humble house to rest for a night." Lin Hong said.

"Huh?" Cheng Jinjiu looked at him, "Brother Lin also has a mansion here?"

"Well, there is a business here." Lin Hong said.

"Of course it's a great honor!" Cheng Jinjiu was thinking about where to live.

The two stood outside the door of a low-luxury mansion, the door was wide open, and the exquisite scenery and exquisite buildings in the courtyard could be seen at a glance.

"'Changying Escort'." Cheng Jinjiu read out the golden characters on the black plaque.

"I've heard of this! The heroes of the Changying Bodyguard Agency passed by the mountain, not only were they not robbed, they even wiped out the bandits there! The local government even issued a list to show their recognition!" Cheng Jinjiu was a little excited, "Lin Brother is amazing!"

What Cheng Jinjiu said was true, and this matter was widely publicized by the Changying Escort, and Lin Hong raised the wages of the Escort for this.

"It's not me who is good, but the hero of the dart." Lin Hong made a gesture of invitation to Cheng Jinjiu, and then led Bao'er towards the wide open door.

"It must be a hero who can make a hero surrender." Cheng Jinjiu smiled, leading his horse and following him.

"By the way... how do I remember that the Changying Bodyguard Agency is located in Yuejiang City, which is thousands of miles away?" Cheng Jinjiu raised his eyebrows.

"It's a branch." Lin Hong said.

Cheng Jinjiu was shocked, "Brother Lin is a big boss! Young and promising!"

"Excellent reputation..." For some reason, Cheng Jinjiu's words reminded Lin Hong of the embarrassment of not being able to pay for porridge this morning...

"May I ask what the guests want to bet... Fuck! Boss!" A big man who wanted to attract customers excitedly shouted into the lobby, "It's the boss! The boss is here!"

"Boss!"

"Ouch! Chief Lin!"

"The real boss is here!"

"Boss!"

A group of big men came out to welcome Lin Hong.Passionately led the horse for him and led him into the lobby.

"This is my distinguished guest! Hello everyone!" Lin Hong introduced Cheng Jinjiu to everyone.

Thus, Cheng Jinjiu received the warmest welcome in his life...

"Ha, what wind brought our boss here!" A slender and handsome man stepped into the lobby from the backyard. A small cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye made his red phoenix eyes extraordinarily beautiful.

A fire was lit in the lobby, and it was warm. Lin Hong just took off his cloak, looked at the person coming and smiled, "What kind of wind can it be? 'Liu Feng'."

"Ah!" Cheng Jinjiu was dumbfounded, "Ah!"

Liu Feng looked at Cheng Jinjiu, "What? Did you bring back a mute?"

"You! Fuck!" Cheng Jinjiu couldn't speak clearly, "Ah!"

Liu Feng: "..."

"'Dark Rain Startled' Liu Feng!" Cheng Jinjiu finally spoke.

Liu Feng laughed, "Hey! You know me."

If you want to talk about the ingenuity of hidden weapons in the Central Plains martial arts, it must have Liu Feng's name!He once wiped out a whole family of thieves and bandits with the rain sword in his sleeve, and everyone in the world called him "Dark Rain Startled the Hall".

And he is now Lin Hong's head of the Qicheng Escort.

Such a person actually surrendered to Lin Hong?Cheng Jinjiu felt that Lin Hong was becoming more and more unfathomable.

The enthusiastic man let the two have a good rest first, and dinner is being prepared.

Lin Hong wrote a letter to his parents and sent it back, to the effect that he would go to Jiangnan to find Lin Yue, so that they don't have to worry.

Liu Feng thought Cheng Jinjiu was funny and kept teasing him.

Finally it was time for dinner to be ready.Lin Hong came today, and their dishes are extraordinarily rich.

A large table was packed to the brim, and a group of people, regardless of their rank or status, huddled together to eat.

"What's the matter with your neck?" Lin Hong pointed to his neck with chopsticks to signal Liu Feng.

There was an obvious sword mark on the side of Liu Feng's neck, it was not deep, it had already scabbed and turned red.

"Who can hurt 'Dark Rain' here?" Lin Hong laughed.

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

A strong man still had unswallowed rice in his mouth, and said to Lin Hong with a smile: "Boss, don't touch him, he is very angry these days!" He was so excited that he even sprayed A few grains of rice.

"Eat yours! Even the rice can't stop your mouth! Who will eat the rice if it sprays on the plate!" Liu Feng yelled at him.

The burly man choked, and took a big mouthful of rice with a suppressed smile.

"What's the matter?" Lin Hong bit his chopsticks, thinking it was funny.

Obviously, with the boss here, the bodyguards are not afraid of Liu Feng, the leader of the bodyguard, and began to chatter gloatingly:

"On the night of about seven days ago, 'Night Breeze Drinking Sword' asked him to single out!"

"He threw all the hidden weapons out and didn't hurt anyone. He came back with a sword mark on his neck!"

"'Night Breeze' is such a powerful person! If he is really a killer, he will score with his head and shoulders!"

"Fuck! 'Night Breeze Drinking Sword'!" Cheng Jinjiu almost choked on the rice.

"you do not say!"

"Let me tell you, he was..."

Liu Feng glanced over, everyone quickly stopped talking and lowered their heads to eat.Otherwise, they will feel better when the boss leaves.

Lin Hong was stunned for a while, "Who?"

Liu Feng looked at him, "You are the first to poke someone's scar! 'Night Breeze Drinking Sword'! I have to say it again."

Wan Guchuan?

Lin Hong rubbed his eyes.

Seven days ago, almost Wan Guchuan also arrived here in Qicheng, and the time is no problem.But he is going to march soon, and he has to hurry during the day, so what kind of "Night Breeze" does he run out at night?

Liu Feng felt the scar on his neck, "'Night Breeze' has been elusive, and he appeared from nowhere one night, and he wanted to fight me on the way back."

"His swordsmanship is famous for being fast and accurate. I have fought against him a few years ago, but I have never beaten him at that time. His swordsmanship is getting more and more familiar now. I am no match! Thanks to him for being worthy of me and looking for him I singled it out!"

"Did he say anything?" Lin Hong asked.

"What did he say?" Liu Feng felt that Lin Hong's question was too strange. "He always shows up at night, covers his face, and finds someone to fight without saying a word. What can he tell me?"

"What madness do you think he committed again? He defeated me a few years ago, and he came to me again after I had nothing to do with him, whipping the corpse and humiliating me!" Liu Feng was angry when he thought about it.

"Maybe you deserve a beating," Lin Hong said.

The crowd laughed again.

Liu Feng gritted his teeth, "My mother..."

"Perhaps you are the only one in this area who has made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes and whose whereabouts are obvious." A strong man said.

These words were useful, but Liu Feng still smiled.

Lin Hong thought, so didn't Wan Guchuan want to find Liu Feng on purpose, and it happened that Liu Feng was here?

The battle is imminent, but Wan Guchuan still wants to act as a knight at night.

Lin Hong remembered the phrase "the responsibility lies" that he said lightly.

Liu Feng said: "Besides, I think his swordsmanship that night was extraordinarily ruthless, he seemed to be suppressing his anger, I thought I didn't offend him. Ha, I thought 'Night Breeze' had no feelings. "

The more Cheng Jinjiu listened, the more excited he became, "I've heard a lot of stories about 'Night Breeze Drinking the Sword'! It's said that he eats swords for a living, that he lives underground, that he killed dragons, that he is black impermanence, Lord Yan, it is said that he is immortal, but he can be male or female, and can change faces. Oh, and it is also said that he has two heads and four hands."

Lin Hong: "..."

Liu Feng: "..."

Everyone: "..."

"...What the hell... Do you believe the folks who add oil and vinegar?" Liu Feng had a headache, "He only haunts at night, and he only looks for people with reputations in the world to fight one-on-one. It's true that they disappear quickly after beating them to death. Very strong, almost no one can beat him, and almost no one has seen him. I will believe you if you say he is a ghost."

"Okay... I really want to see him." Cheng Jinjiu said.

Liu Feng sneered, "Once you make a name for yourself in the world, he will naturally come to humiliate you!"

Lin Hong laughed, "I want to see him too."

"Hey..." Liu Feng put down his chopsticks, feeling a little emotional, "Everyone has become a story, only he is still a legend."
