Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 276 Help
Lin Cheng quietly looked at Wanyan Liang in front of him. At this time, his heart should be more fearful. It seemed that the ancient well was calm like an old monk in meditation, but in fact he was in a panic.

Even though he and Wan Yanliang are both spies of the prairie people now, secretly inquiring all kinds of information for the prairie people, but the status of the two is very different.

One is from an orthodox prairie, and the other is a defector from Beiyan. It is clear at a glance who is more trustworthy.

And now that I have betrayed Beiyan, this person in front of me tortured me to extract a confession. It is a pity that those punishments are too terrible, and I really lack the courage to prove my will with death, so I can only choose to surrender and go further down the wrong path. further away.

After returning to Beiyan, Lin Cheng contacted his uncle Lin Zhen through a series of operations, and managed to join the city guard army. Relying on his previous experience, experience, support and uncle's care, he soon The personal guards who entered the city guard's mansion were able to spy on a lot of confidential information, and also bought themselves a superior life. If no important information came out, the prairie people would give themselves a lot of gold and silver, not only that There are also a lot of special products on the grasslands. If you resell them to make connections or sell them, they will soon be transferred back with more profits.

So Lin Cheng went from being frightened at the beginning to accepting it calmly now.He even became interested in playing chess. When he was resting, he would come to the Shanshui Pavilion to see if he could meet any important people and make friends with him. On the one hand, he would make his career smoother, and on the other hand, he would also get information for himself. In exchange for more benefits, it was with this idea in mind that Lin Chengcai went in and out of the Shanshui Pavilion many times.

"I know you should be Xiu Mu today. When I went to your house to look for you, I heard your servant said that you came to the Shanshui Pavilion today, so I came to look for you." Wanyan Liang gently drank the hot water in his hand. Tea, then put down the teacup in his hand, and said calmly.

"That's it...Mr. Liu, it's not good for you to do this. It seems to be inconsistent with the above regulations. We shouldn't have too many interactions now. It's easy for things to happen." Lin Cheng said in a low voice.However, the tone was not so strong, but rather a bit of a discussion.

"That is because we are not allowed to meet and meet without special circumstances, but now I have some things and I need your help. After all, your identity is more useful here, and I believe that you, as a Beiyan soldier, should not As for those who refuse my request, right?" Wan Yanliang's tone was flat, but the words he said were harsh, full of threats.It is completely relying on one's own identity to suppress others.

At this moment, Lin Cheng was a little at a loss, and wanted to refuse very much in his heart. It must be something that made him explore for information, but he had already heard that a military intelligence department in Beiyan was targeting traitorous spies like him. How could it be possible? At this time, if you come up to make troubles, don't you despise your own life?

But Lin Cheng didn't refuse. He had the leverage in the hands of the grassland people, or in the hands of Wan Yanliang in front of him. If he didn't agree, he would definitely expose everything in his hands. , when the time comes, not only myself, but even my uncle and others will be implicated.After all, once the crime of treason in Beiyan was discovered, it would be a crime involving the three clans.

Unless Lin Cheng kills Wan Yanliang and can stop a mouth that knows his situation, but this possibility is very slim. Don't read Yan Liang who is young and gentle, his own cultivation is not weaker than Lin Cheng's. , there must be some treasures unique to grassland people, which are very difficult to deal with.The most important thing is that Lin Cheng has already boarded the boat of the prairie people, and if he plays two-footed boats with two minds, the final result must be that he is not a person inside and outside, neither Beiyan nor the prairie will accept it. I don't have much left to choose from.

Lin Cheng grinned and said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, Mr. Liu, if you have anything to ask, just ask, and you also know that I have no room to refuse. If I can help, I will definitely help, even if it exceeds my limit." It’s hard to explain the scope of ability.”

Wan Yanliang said with a smile: "No problem, no problem, and it's not a big deal. It's just that one of my houses was stolen by a thief, and some of my things were taken. After thinking about it, I can only find you It's the most suitable, I hope you can help me find the thief as soon as possible, and get back my stolen things by the way." Wan Yanliang saw that Lin Cheng's attitude was very good, and he didn't feel reconciled or angry. It was a good sign that he was completely submitting to his orders, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

Lin Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that something was lost. This is not a big deal. I know a lot of people from the city guards. They should be able to find things back for Wanyan Liang soon. .He opened his mouth and asked: "I don't know what Mr. Liu lost. I will contact someone to help Mr. Liu find it. It is best to have your previous address and the time when you discovered the theft. It is best to tell me. "

Wan Yanliang hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth. After all, Lin Cheng had to rely on Lin Cheng to find the Lone Wolf Token, and he couldn't hide it from him. Instead of letting him open his mind, it's better to be honest. Tell him the truth, and then said: "It's not very important. There are two pieces of dog's head gold. I can get this kind of thing casually. It's nothing, but there is one thing that is very important, that is, the unique one. Wolf Token, this token is supported by the bones of a ferocious beast, engraved with the image of a one-eyed wolf head, it is not only an important gift from my father, but also a credential for me to enter the Heavenly Wolf Tent , the importance of this thing is the same as the gold list in your imperial examination. It is the key to knock on the door, so it is very important to me. I blame that damned thief. Lin Cheng, you must do this. Help me, and don't kill the thief after he is caught, I want to live, I want him to know who he can touch and who he can't." After finishing speaking, Wan Yanliang's eyes couldn't help but Suddenly, a flash of anger flashed, without the slightest concealment, the ferocious expression of bared teeth, vividly showing the ferocious side of the prairie people.

"What? Such an important thing was lost?" Lin Cheng was shocked when he heard it. Although he didn't know what the Skywolf account was, he knew the gold list of the imperial examination.

The imperial examination is one of the important ways for Beiyan to select talents. It is held every three years and is divided into civil and military examinations.Wenju is through various literary classics and various related politics, economy and culture.Various aspects of the law, through examinations and interviews, are finally filmed into corresponding nouns to select outstanding civil servants.

Martial arts are simpler and rougher. In addition to the simplest martial arts practice, there is also an investigation of the art of war. These candidates are even specially asked to command soldiers to fight against, in order to select outstanding talents to fill the military. team.

And the gold list is a privilege enjoyed only by the top [-] candidates in each imperial examination. Everyone on the top is a one-in-a-million talent, who climbed up step by step from the vast number of candidates below by relying on his own ability. Talents, after many years of experience on the gold list, as long as there is no accidental death in the middle, they will be famous in the future.We can see the importance of the gold list.

And just now Wan Yanliang said that the Laozi token has a similar effect to the gold list, and its importance must be extraordinary.This token must be a very important item, important enough to affect Wan Yanliang's life, that's why he violated the orders above and came to him for help, think about it.Such an important thing is lost, according to the normal situation, Wan Yanliang should seek help from the government, but this Dingbei City is relatively close to the grassland after all, and many people here have a good understanding of some things on the grassland. It is uncertain whether there will be any characters in it who know the Lone Wolf Token clearly, and will come out to make troubles at that time.So Wan Yanliang didn't dare to entrust those people, so he had no choice but to ask himself, a person who knew the basics, to help.

But the risk of 1 here is not small. If people find out, not only Wan Yanliang, but even Lin Cheng may be in danger.This is Dingbei City, and it is also the territory of Beiyan. If people find out that they are blatantly helping the grassland people, there may not be any good results. Although there are many grassland caravans coming and going here, there are also many conflicts. Bloodshed incidents are more common. Many times, the two sides will start fighting because of some small things. The reason why there are so many city guards in Dingbei City is to guard against the prairie people on the one hand and to maintain Dingbei on the other. The law and order in Beicheng is stable.

Once the incident happened, it would be very dangerous, and Lin Cheng couldn't help trying to dissuade him: "Mr. Liu, this is a bit dangerous. In today's complicated situation, once it is exposed, neither you nor I will have any good fruit to eat." It’s so easy, it’s easy to set yourself on fire.”

Wan Yanliang's face suddenly darkened, "This is your own business, all I want to know is the final result." Maybe he noticed that his tone was a little rushed, and next, Wan Yanliang's The tone was a little calmer, but there was still an undeniable meaning, "This lone wolf token is very important to me, so I hope you can mobilize the relationships you can use to help me find it. Of course, you can't use Beiyan government's People, it’s best to be those gang members you met. In short, the more secretive the better, I hope you can retrieve the Lone Wolf Token as quickly as possible. If everything goes well, I owe you a doll, I I can find a way to take back part of the soul-shaman's shackles on your body, so that you can be more comfortable."

When Lin Cheng heard Wan Yanliang's promise, his whole body immediately straightened up. He stared at Wan Yanliang quietly with his eyes and said word for word: "Mr. Liu, is everything you said true?"

"Of course it is true. I will guarantee you with the reputation and glory of the tribe. As long as you can successfully get back my Lone Wolf Token, I can call the shots and ask the great wizard to help you touch part of the soul-shaman bondage on you. I will never break my promise." Wan Yanliang said firmly.

Soul Shaman Restraint is actually a means of using the blood essence of warriors plus the wizard's witchcraft to curse the person who uses the blood essence. Through this method, the wizard can punish this person anytime and anywhere. It will twitch continuously, accompanied by severe pain, making life worse than death.

It is precisely because of this existence that Wan Yanliang can have the confidence to trust Lin Cheng. After all, this soul-shaman restraint was done by a wizard he personally invited, in order to control a puppet to help him in the fixed position. In the development of Beicheng, if there is anything that can make Lin Cheng's heart move the most, it is freedom.

Lin Cheng was very excited about Wan Yanliang's promise at this time, overjoyed, and repeatedly said that even if he went to the mountains of swords and fires, he would definitely make it happen at this time, "Mr. Liu, don't worry, I will do my best this time and give the token to get back."

"This is the house I was in before. It was stolen by a thief last night. I didn't find any trace of him. He should be an old hand, so I hope you hurry up. It will be difficult to find it after a long delay. It's gone." After finishing speaking, Wan Yanliang took out a piece of cloth from his hand, with the address of the house written on it.

Lin Cheng reached out to take the strip of cloth, glanced at it, and then put it in the sleeve of the robe he carried with him.Now he works in the guards of the Chengshou Mansion, he can be regarded as a member of the Baidao. In order to be able to smuggle some prairie goods, or gang fires and other things, those gang forces in Dingbei City naturally need the backing of the Baidao. , and he is Lin Zhen's nephew, so there are not many people available to Lin Chengshou underground.As long as he opens his mouth to order, those gangs in Dingbei City will definitely agree to sell and help, and so many people go up together to find a thief, in Lin Cheng's view, it is not a problem at all, as long as the thief does not leave Dingbei City, then he must There will be times when they are arrested and returned, and the token is naturally at their fingertips.

"Mr. Liu, then I will go to contact you first, and you can wait quietly for my good news." After finishing speaking, Lin Chengli immediately got up to say goodbye, turned around and left the private room, and left in the form of a trot. Landscape Loft.

And Wan Yanliang looked at Lin Cheng's actively leaving back at this time, and he was very satisfied in his heart. He gave Lin Cheng such a big sweetness, and he will naturally work hard. If everything goes well for him, it will probably be soon. You can get back your Lone Wolf Token within a few days, so you can simply go to the Shanshui Loft. Wan Yanliang doesn't mind relaxing, and turns around to go out for a walk.

However, neither of these two people may know that what they are looking for has already fallen into the hands of someone who should not have come across it.
