My enemy's style is wrong

Chapter 83

Linhuai is located in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a water town completely different from the West River. In spring, there are small bridges and flowing water, peach blossoms and weeping willows.But right now it is winter, although it is not as deep as three feet of ice and thousands of miles of plain snow, but it is also cold from the north wind, and the climate is humid, making it even more chilly.

If it had been the past, at least the festive atmosphere of lights and festoons would have diluted the feeling of bleakness, but at this time the whole city was in mourning, making it even more chilly.

Liu Tingzhi has always had an unrestrained temperament, and in the past it was inevitable to have fun, but now she is uncharacteristically restrained and solemn.The "in-law" relationship in the cultivation world has always been unreliable, but in-laws are optional, and the only child left by the second sister is only one.

Originally, Lin Xiuran planned to go to Linhuai alone, but Liu Tingzhi was afraid that he would be underestimated due to his young age, so he followed him specially to cover the situation for him.

Lin Xiuran is actually not familiar with the art of war, but even if he doesn't know the art of war, he still knows that with Linhuai's current situation, if he rushes to the battle, he will definitely not get any benefit from Lin Maosheng, who has been planning for a long time. He has no prestige at all, even if he is a genuine "Patriarch" with the name of a freshly baked "Patriarch", he may not be able to convince the public at all.

That being the case, it is better to plan well first.There are many talents in Linhuai, but there are not many people who can be used by Lin Xiuran. In addition, the strength of the cultivation world is very different. There are those who can break through thousands of troops alone, and naturally there are those who can only make up the head no matter how many there are.

Lin Xiuran has already contacted the private soldiers that Lin Maozhi gave him earlier, but the number and strength are still unclear. Besides, Lin Xiuran has never really contacted them before. Whether they are loyal or not, even he Can't tell.

It's better to take advantage of this moment to sort out the personnel slowly first. Naturally, those who are unstable are not allowed. If they have been involved with Lin Maosheng before, they are naturally not allowed to be taken again just in case. He has a good disposition, and has never had anything to do with Lin Maofan and others, but he is too cold-hearted to be used by him.

Among the remaining people, we have to choose those who are both aptitude and good-natured, but most of the outstanding monks are also arrogant. Too prosperous, and it is inevitable that he will not accept Lin Xiuran's leadership.

After so many screenings, there are really too few people to use. Even if the entire Linhuai Lin family and the private soldiers in the hands of Lin Xiuran add up, the number is only a little over thirty people, although Lin Xiuran has already made up his mind. Prepared, but in the end, it is inevitable to find that there are only such people, and it is inevitable to feel frustrated.

The transactions between Lin Feimo and Lin Maosheng are naturally unknown to the rest of the people. Although Lin Xiuran still regards him as his younger brother, there is a lot of estrangement after all, and he is no longer as close as before, so he chooses the elite. However, Lin Xiuran did it all by himself, and did not give it to him.

Of course, Lin Xiuran didn't want others to misunderstand and spread rumors that he and Lin Feimo were at odds.The cause of the change in Xihe was the brother's quarrel. If rumors spread that he and Lin Feimo were at odds at this juncture, the morale would be hit even more. Therefore, Lin Xiuran picked some young juniors who had the aptitude to build a foundation overnight, They were compiled into books, and resources were allocated to train these young disciples, and Lin Feimo was naturally among them.

Ordinary people pay attention to the principle of "soldiers and horses before moving food and grass". In the realm of comprehension, although monks don't need food and grass, logistics is still the top priority. Expensive.Although the Lin family has profound heritage, most of them are still hidden in the secret realm of the ancestral land. Lin Maofan does not have the seal of the patriarch, so naturally he cannot use the money, but Lin Xiuran cannot get close to the ancestral land, and he also has no way to transport these resources out.

The Lin family of Linhuai also has a lot of savings, but even if it comes from the same source, Lin Xiuran really can't bear to let the side branch send people and effort and finally pay money. As for the rush to find the spirit stone, but the thirty elites he carefully selected cannot be neglected. Naturally, the needs of daily cultivation must be met, and there must be some temptations. If there are fewer, it will inevitably appear that the heart is not enough Honesty, but if there are too many, I'm afraid of giving birth to other thoughts.

After half a month of preparation, Lin Xiuran lost a lot of weight visible to the naked eye, and it happened to be the time when the teenager was stretching, so he looked even thinner and thinner, and even a little out of shape.Lin Feimo looked at it and felt so guilty that he was about to bleed, but now, if he regrets what he revealed in front of Lin Xiuran because of these things, it will no longer be able to be taken away by a sentence of "dwelling on the past" Yes, but do not know good from bad.

Liu Tingzhi naturally couldn't see his nephew's haggard appearance, but after all, he couldn't directly intervene in the affairs of the Lin family. He was Lin Xiuran's uncle, but he was also the young master of the Liu family in Donghai. After his father, the serious head of the Liu family nodded Before agreeing, Liu Tingzhi didn't dare to do everything to help Lin Xiuran regain his family fortune.

But daily care is not a hindrance. Liu Tingzhi has traveled abroad for many years, and naturally has accumulated a lot of natural materials, treasures, rare and exotic herbs, and she tries to find ways to nourish Lin Xiuran in different ways every day. I think of what Lin Xiuran said before He liked Moling's food, so he specially wrote to Chen Xiao. Unexpectedly, Chen Xiao soon sent a team of cooks over. After careful questioning, Liu Tingzhi found out that it was given to Lin Xiuran by him years ago. Thinking that he was in a hurry when he left, Yin Chengyu deliberately spread rumors to Chen Xiao, saying that Lin Xiuran liked the skills of these cooks, and asked him to keep them, and he would send someone over to take them back to the Lin family.

Liu Tingzhi was afraid of bringing up Lin Xiuran's sadness, so he didn't dare to mention it in front of him, so he ordered the cooks to make some snacks with the medicinal materials and treasures in his hands, and tried to persuade Lin Xiuran when he was checking and deploying in the middle of the night He tasted a little, but Lin Xiuran just took a bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and froze.

After a long time, he sighed softly, lowered his head and said dejectedly: "Uncle Lao, you have to worry about it, but the current situation is really not optimistic, and Xiuran is in the filial age, so he dare not extravagantly pursue his appetite."

After finishing speaking, he stopped touching the plate of dim sum. Liu Tingzhi still wondered if the taste of the dim sum was not to Lin Xiuran's taste, so he tasted a piece himself, and only felt that the taste was delicate and sweet, even with his picky taste, he didn't notice any difference. Where is the bad taste.

But Liu Tingzhi didn't know that these snacks were not bad in taste, but tasted so good that Lin Xiuran tasted them in just one bite. It was the handicraft of the cook Chen Xiao sent to Moling's house before.

When he left Moling, it was New Year's Eve. In order to spend a new year alone with Yin Chengyu, he sent these cooks back home a few days in advance. That night, when the new year was approaching, he received a letter from Uncle Zhou saying that there had been changes in his family.

Lin Xiuran was full of panic at that time, and it could even be said that he was at a loss. Yin Chengyu even helped clean up the salute, so he naturally had no time to take care of these cooks. With the cook's attitude, if no one had greeted him in advance, with his cautious temperament, he would definitely not send these people to Huaihuai again.

There is only one possibility, that is, Yin Chengyu took time out of his busy schedule to ask Chen Xiao to help take care of these cooks, and maybe he also said that Lin Xiuran loved them very much, and he would take care of them someday. They took him back to the Lin family and accepted his favor.

It has been almost a month, and there is still no news from Yin Chengyu. In the first few days, Lin Xiuran was still full of confidence, just waiting for Yin Chengyu to come back sooner, but as time went by, his heart gradually sank. down.

If Yin Chengyu was really out of danger, then no matter what, he should be back by now. Even Peak Master Yanqing has been looking for him for so long, but still no news came back.Since he came to this world, there have been too many variables, Lin Xiuran really didn't dare to gamble Yin Chengyu's life with the illogical plot in the original text.

What's more, when Yin Chengyu fell into the abyss and fell into the devil in the original work, he had already practiced the Five Elements Jue for several years, and his aptitude had also improved significantly. Because of this, Yin Chengyu has very rich experience in actual combat. After falling into the Fallen Demon Abyss, he can handle hundreds of thousands of demons with ease.

But now Yin Chengyu is the direct disciple of the master Yanqing Peak of Minghe Mountain. How can he absorb the chaotic aura of the Demon Realm with his fire spirit root aptitude?

Although Yin Chengyu's cultivation base is still considered solid now, and he has practiced a lot in the past, but after all, he did not come here through bloody battles like mountains of swords and fires. Without these almost brutal combat experiences, how can he escape smoothly when he is faced with adversity?

When Yun Lang told Lin Xiuran that Yin Chengyu had had contact with Seizing Soul Sect, and even had a close relationship with some demon cultivators, Lin Xiuran was still a little excited in his heart. If Yun Lang said that, then Yin Chengyu At least in places he didn't know about, there were more experiences in battles and exchanges. Maybe he had already started planning these matters, but as time passed day by day, those hopes in Lin Xiuran's heart became silent like a pool of stagnant water after all.

When the weather turned warm in early February, Yanqing, who had searched the entire Jiangnan and even the Central Plains, finally returned to Linhuai, but to Lin Xiuran's disappointment, Yanqing was alone, with nothing behind her.

"Uncle Yan... Where's brother?" Lin Xiuran asked tremblingly, still unwilling to give up.

Yanqing didn't speak, and only handed a kit to Lin Xiuran.

What was contained in the kit was a broken fate card.
