After leaving a mark for Han Liwan along the way, Shang Jueheng and his party took a rest in a ruined temple.The daytime in winter always ends very quickly. After the fight with the people from the Ruyilou, the people in the team are more or less injured or exhausted and feel exhausted.
Shang Jueheng changed into a clean coat, and then sat in front of the fire with his arms around Lin Xi. Lin Xi had been sleeping drowsily with his knees hugged, and felt a man's breath, so he naturally nestled into his arms.
It is true to say that he is like a lazy cat.
Suddenly there was a shout from outside the ruined temple. Lin Xi, who was not in a deep sleep, frowned, then opened a pair of sleepy eyes and looked towards the door, "What's going on outside?"
Lin San who came in from the door bowed slightly, "There are two suspicious-looking people outside the ruined temple, and the guards are planning to drive them away."
"Oh?" Lin Xi reluctantly opened one eye to look, and there seemed to be a vague blue figure pushing against the guard outside the door.
He supported Shang Jueheng's arm and stood up, his figure was still shaking a little, the man behind him immediately stood up and supported his waist weakly.
Leaning against the door frame of the ruined temple, Lin Xi's sleep-deprived head was a little groggy. His physique was not good, and he was prone to drowsiness in the cold winter.
Shang Jueheng stuffed a heater into his hand to cover it before he felt relieved.
Lin San on the side went down to signal the guards on the side to let go of the two, and then made a gesture of invitation to him, "My master has invited this young master."
After lazily yawning, Lin Xi stood up straight and cupped his hands and said, "If I offended you just now, please forgive me."
The young man in blue looked a man of talent, quite the demeanor of a Confucian official.Facing a group of tough people, he bowed his hands in a salute neither humble nor overbearing, then put his hands behind his back and straightened his back.
"Your Majesty, I don't intend to offend you. I just saw the sign of Merchant Fort on this carriage, so I dare to ask you heroes to protect it for a night."
While speaking, the young man in blue raised his eyes and glanced at the person on the steps, and made a preliminary judgment in his heart.
The person who spoke was wrapped in white fox fur, and he looked like a weak young man who couldn't bear the hardships. The man in black behind him was imposing and indifferent.The close relationship between the two can be seen at a glance.
The man in black should be the person in charge of this pedestrian, as for the others, he is not in the habit of judging people by their appearance.
Lin Xi asked back in astonishment, "How do you say that? You don't look like a man in the rivers and lakes, so how can you recognize the sign of Merchant Fort?"
The young man in blue nodded and said with a smile, "My surname is Qin and my name is Zhiyuan. Although I am a commoner, I met someone from Merchant Fort who helped me on the way to do business, so I knew him. My servant and I were going to Linzhou with goods. Encountered robbers, all the goods were robbed. Although we escaped by chance, we did not dare to sleep in the woods easily, so we took the liberty to come here to ask you for help."
Speaking of this, the young servant next to him yelled angrily, "Master once said that Merchant Castle has always done benevolent and righteous things in the Jianghu, but it turned out to be so rude! I don't know if Lord Shangbao will dislike you if he finds out. Embarrass him..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Zhiyuan gave the young servant a reproachful look, "This servant is really spoiled, please forgive me, my lord."
Lin Xi glanced at the servant with a half-smile, and said lightly, "My lord, you need to remember that the words come from your mouth. If you don't think the crowded place is small, you will come in to keep warm. Presumably the bandit also It’s not going to be so rampant.”
People who are normally in the rivers and lakes should take a detour when they see the sign of Merchant Fort, except for those who come with a purpose during the day.
Qin Zhiyuan walked into the ruined temple only to find that there were many guards who seemed to be injured in the temple, and a young man and a woman were sitting beside the fire.The man was dressed simply, and his hand kept holding the woman next to her with her head bowed and a scar on her face.
Seeing his puzzled eyes, Lin Xi explained, "We were also attacked by bandits during the day, so everyone is more vigilant, that's why they took this action just now."
Qin Zhiyuan felt a little guilty in his heart. Although it was the servant who spoke wildly, it was his fault for not teaching him well.
After being polite for a while, Qin Zhiyuan took his servants and sat down beside the fire. Xiao Yu, who rarely saw strangers, flinched and hid beside Xiao Jin.
Qin Zhiyuan speculated that maybe it was because of their sudden arrival that the girl's reaction was so strong, he arched his hands and said apologetically, "I'm being rude, if this girl feels uncomfortable, please sit farther away."
Saying that, I got up.
Xiao Jin waved his hands quickly when he saw it, "My lord, there is no need to be like this, Xiao Yu is just a little shy, and has no other intentions."
Lin Xi's eyes swept Qin Zhiyuan back and forth. He had a pretty good impression of this person, and more importantly, he was the heroine's biggest gold finger—the hero of this article.It was with Qin Zhiyuan's help that the heroine was able to gain a firm foothold in Linzhou's business circle at such a fast speed.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi looked at Qin Zhiyuan and said, "I haven't introduced you to Mr. Qin yet, but Lin Xi is from Linzhou. The one next to me is Shang Jueheng, Lord Shang, and these two are Xiao Brother and sister Jin and Xiao Yu."
Shang Jueheng was expressionless, he hadn't said a word from the beginning, and now he just nodded in response.
When Qin Zhiyuan heard the word Lin Xi, his face was a little subtle and a little embarrassed, especially when the word Linzhou was followed.
Lin Xi guessed from his expression that he and Lin Yuan should have met him, and that Lin Yuan should have mentioned herself to him, and her evaluation should not be very good.But Lin Yuan probably didn't expect the turn of events, that they would meet Qin Zhiyuan directly.
"What's wrong, Mr. Qin?"
"This..." Qin Zhiyuan was a little hesitant, after all, the other party helped them right now, but he couldn't say something, so he had to compromise, "I stayed in Linzhou for a month, and Young Master Lin seems to be different from the rumors. "
Although the young man in front of him looked weak, he had a very calm temperament.Smiling indifferently, his calm attitude even made him wonder if Lin Yuan's "playful, unprogressive younger brother" is the same person as Lin Xi in front of him.
Lin Xi smiled and asked back, with an easy-going attitude as if the person he was talking about was not himself, "You say I'm a playboy? Bullying the market in Linzhou?"
Under the light of the fire, the young man squinted his eyes slightly, and when he raised his eyes, he looked bright.
Qin Zhiyuan, who had a good impression of Lin Xi, shook his head, "It's just a rumor, Mr. Lin is just a joke and just laugh it off."
After reaching half the goal, Lin Xi immediately put the topic on Qin Zhiyuan's family business. Linzhou's silk business is already famous. Not in the minority.
Among them, Lin Xi's maternal ancestral home is particularly famous, so the interest in talking about Liu's family and Qin Zhiyuan is even higher.Moreover, Lin Xi is not a so-called ignorant person at all. On the contrary, his understanding and knowledge of silk is not inferior to that of Qin Zhiyuan who has been in business for many years.
"I only know a little bit about it. Grandpa said that when he has time, he should go out and see the world more so as not to let his eyes be trapped in the square."
Qin Zhiyuan nodded, and he also agreed with Mr. Liu's point of view. When he was young, he also ran around with his father because he had a feeling for silk.And Lin Xi is still young, it is very rare to understand so much.
He wanted to say more, but Shang Jueheng looked in his direction with serious eyes.With just one glance, he lowered his head and whispered something in Lin Xi's ear, but Lin Xi frowned unhappily and muttered, "I'm not sleepy, it's still early..."
Qin Zhiyuan understood a little bit, he didn't reject Long Yang's kindness at all, besides, the two people in front of him were strong and soft, like the cold winter snow meeting the warm sun, dazzling but not cold.
Then he opened his mouth and said, "I was being rude, Mr. Lin's body seems a little thin in this cold weather, it's better to rest earlier."
Lin Xi had already talked about excitement, but seeing Shang Jueheng staring at him expressionlessly, he could only let it go.There were so many people in the ruined temple that he couldn't explain Qin Zhiyuan's matter to Shang Jueheng, so he could only pat him on the arm reassuringly.
Then his hand was firmly held by the other party, and he seemed to have no restraint at all, so he had no choice but to follow the other party's wishes and leaned over, and then he was pulled into a warm embrace.
This was considered a good night's sleep, and the next morning everyone began to pack their bags and prepare to continue their journey.Qin Zhiyuan planned to say goodbye, but Lin Xi invited him to go on the road together on the grounds that the destination was the same and there were still bandits nearby.
Qin Zhiyuan refused but agreed. Of course, he would not take a carriage with Lin Xi without winking, but greeted Xiao Jin very consciously, hoping that his abruptness would not make Miss Xiao Yu unhappy.
The further you go in the direction of Linzhou, the warmer the weather becomes.
When the team reached the third day, the shadow guard finally brought back the news about Han Liwan. Because Liu Wang was injured, they are currently staying in a small town to recuperate. They will rush to Linzhou to meet them in a few days .
Hearing the news that his little uncle was injured, Lin Xi frowned immediately.
"Don't worry, I have arranged for the shadow guards to follow them." When Shang Jueheng replied, he also sent some good medicines to the shadow guards. According to the report, Liu Wang's injuries were not serious, but he needed a good rest This is the delay.
"Have you found any clues?" Lin Xi's face lost a little gentle smile, and looked a little cold.
The others were used to his easy-going and serious attitude switching at will, but it was not far away that Qin Zhiyuan saw Lin Xi without a smile on his face for the first time, and was immediately a little curious.After getting acquainted with Xiao Jin and Xiao Yu in the past few days, he asked out his doubts.
I don't know what Xiao Jin thought of, and he folded his arms unconsciously, "Lin Xi, as long as you don't provoke him, is a very easy to get along with. He has a clear mind and is a rare and sensible person."
After the matter of Fourth Lord Shang was over, he was ready to be dealt with by Lin Xi, as long as he could save Xiao Yu, he didn't care about anything.Just when he was kneeling in front of Lin Xi as if he was dying, he heard him ask lightly, "What are your plans for the future?"
Xiao Jin was taken aback, if he could survive, of course he wanted to take his sister down the mountain, find a doctor to recuperate her body, if she could recover her face and marry a good man, that would be the best.As for himself, his life is too tiring, he just wants to find a place to be an ordinary person and live the most ordinary life.
Lin Xi made a suggestion after listening to his thoughts.
In the final analysis, Xiao Jin was just a scapegoat in the case of Fourth Master Shang. The difference was that he knew that he was a scapegoat but still took it on, just for his own sister.
Lin Xi is not such an overbearing and unreasonable person, this trivial matter will not make him want to kill Xiao Jin.If it is said that he once had something with Shang Jueheng, it is not worth mentioning in his eyes. He would not care too much about what Shang Jueheng did in the original world.
He cared about the person who met him and awakened the will of the Lord God for him.
And right now he is also in need of someone he can trust to help him. Xiao Jin used to be a son and young master from everyone, and he is good at rhythm and poetry.His music hall needs someone to take care of him. He can write lyrics and compose music in his spare time, and he will not be bullied if he is protected by a businessman.
Linzhou has a mild climate, which is quite suitable for Xiao Yu to recuperate there.Perhaps with a grateful attitude, Xiao Jin hesitated for several days, and agreed after seeking Xiao Yu's opinion.
Qin Zhiyuan didn't know what happened between them, but from Xiao Jin's expression, he admired Lin Xi very much.Xiao Yu, who was pulling her brother's sleeve by the side, blinked, and said a word timidly, "Xiao, Xiaoxi... is a good person...and very good-looking..."
Qin Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing. He bowed slightly and reached the same height as the other party, and said, "People with a pure heart are also very good-looking, such as Miss Xiao Yu."
Xiao Yu was at a loss as she covered her slightly terrifying half of her face, she looked at her brother helplessly.
Xiao Jin held her hand with a smile, and said with a teasing smile, "My sister is already a great beauty, so there is no need for others to beat around the bush. My brother will find a way to restore you to your former appearance, you believe me."
Xiao Yu smiled shyly, then nodded.
"If there's anything I can help you with, Mr. Xiao, please don't be too polite."
"Thank you, Mr. Qin."
Shang Jueheng changed into a clean coat, and then sat in front of the fire with his arms around Lin Xi. Lin Xi had been sleeping drowsily with his knees hugged, and felt a man's breath, so he naturally nestled into his arms.
