Chapter 152 Little Phoenix (2)
After all, Lin Ning still hasn't walked on the road of "Tianliang Wangpo".
She is now in Lingnan, after leaving the restaurant upstairs, Lin Ning is planning to go north to the capital.In addition to the Jianghu sect like Tsing Yi Lou, she thought there was another organization that had an incomparably natural advantage in collecting information, and that was Six Doors.
The six doors are backed by the imperial court, and they are in charge of Jianghu affairs. Judging from today's behavior and style, even if he wants to maintain the balance between the Jianghu and the imperial court, he must have a certain degree of control over the Jianghu.This also reminded Lin Ning of the first arrester in the first six gates, Jin Jiuling, who knew the law and broke the law in the original book, committing several major crimes one after another.
Lin Ning was bored thinking.
Suddenly, I heard crickets calling.
Lin Ning was taken aback, and subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound. It was a five or six-year-old girl on the street corner holding a straw cage with a cricket in it. She was teasing the cricket in the grass cage by herself. From time to time, he looked at a group of children who were having fun at the other end, with envious eyes in their eyes.
"Big brother?"
The little girl was not afraid of Lin Ning, who looked sharp-eyed. Seeing Lin Ning staring at the cage in her hand, she lifted the cage and asked, "Brother, do you like crickets?"
Lin Ning nodded.
The little girl was very happy: "My father caught it for me, and my father made up the cage for me. My father is amazing!"
As she spoke, she glanced at the children at the other end, and said in a low voice, "I don't care to play with them."
Lin Ning looked at the little girl. Although her clothes were not new, they were still clean. There was only a faint smell, but the smell did not come from her.Lin Ning looked around again, and immediately understood the reason why this little girl was rejected by other children, her father was a stalker.
The little girl was curious again: "Is the eldest brother a hero?"
Lin Ning: "No."
The little girl bit her finger: "But big brother is carrying a sword."
Lin Ning said seriously: "I am a young hero."
It's not that the little girl didn't understand, she giggled.
Lin Ning laughed, and she became less aloof after laughing, and then sat on the stone steps casually, chatting with the little girl.During the period, she also took the thatch that the little girl brought from home, and weaved a few gadgets for her.
The little girl clapped her hands: "Big brother is really amazing, can you teach me?"
Lin Ning said solemnly: "The master's kung fu is not passed on to outsiders."
Little girl: "Okay then."
(Respondent: "...")
During the period, the children on the other side looked this way. They wanted to join in the fun, but they were too embarrassed to come. One of the children curled his lips. As soon as he sang their sarcasm for the little girl, Lin Ning gave him a kind note. eyes.
There was no sound for a moment.
Only then was Lin Ning satisfied, and he chatted with the little girl for half an hour, and stopped until the little girl's mother came to ask her to go home for dinner.
"Brother, this is for you."
The little girl handed Lin Ning the straw cage her father had woven for her, and Lin Ning couldn't say no to it with such pure eyes.She reached out and took the grass cage with the crickets, "Thank you."
The little girl frowned suddenly.
Lin Ning hung the straw cage around her waist, which made her dressed as a swordsman look a bit nondescript, but Lin Ning didn't care, and turned to the horses in the city against the slightly strange eyes of others.It's just that the horses in the horse shop today are very average. She got a promise from the horse dealer that a batch of good horses from Pingcheng, the largest port in Lingnan, will arrive early in the morning. I found an inn in the city and planned to stay here for one night before leaving tomorrow.
It was the night of the full moon.
Lin Ning was lying on the bed, awakened by the noise.
"Dead!"
Lin Ning: "..."
For some reason, Lin Ning had a particularly bad premonition.
This bad premonition prompted her to get up, and quickly rushed to the scene of the incident with the Dragon Yin Sword.The deceased was a young man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life. Lin Ning relied on her observation almost instantly and decided that he was the one who fell in love with Ye Xiang without anyone else explaining.
Not only that.
Lin Ning picked up the sugar-fried chestnuts that had fallen to the ground with a handkerchief, put them under his nose and smelled them, then looked up at the bright full moon, and knew who the culprit was:
Grandma Bear.
Strictly speaking, it is Aunt Gongsun, one of her identities is Grandma Xiong, who likes to sell poisonous sugar-fried chestnuts to passers-by on nights of the full moon. In fact, there is no specific reason for doing it, just because she wants to kill someone.
Lin Ning looked at the victim who was bleeding from seven orifices, as if there were several heavy stones in his stomach.She didn't look at the victim again, but carefully sniffed the smell of fried chestnuts in sugar, then observed the street environment, made a distinction, and ran in one direction.
After turning two streets, Lin Ning stopped.
"Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar, fried chestnuts in sugar just out of the pot! Hot and fragrant fried chestnuts in sugar!" The shout was an old woman holding a bamboo basket. Her waist was broken in the middle.The moonlight shone on her wrinkled face, making it look like a crumpled and unrolled straw paper.
No one would believe that such an old woman is a murderous female devil.
Lin Ning has not yet approached, but has already smelled the fragrance from the old woman. The fragrance is very pleasant, no matter how you look at it, it will not appear on a poor old woman who is already in her twilight years, and she walks She did look like a normal old woman hobbling, but her steps were light at the time, and more importantly, she was wearing a pair of bright red embroidered shoes.
“Hot and fragrant roasted chestnuts in sugar!”
The old woman continued to hawk as if she hadn't noticed Lin Ning, but Lin Ning clearly noticed that her hand holding the basket was ready to go.
Lin Ning didn't have much leisure to say anything to her, and directly put his right hand on the hilt of the Longyin Sword.
Aunt Gongsun didn't hide anymore, she took out a pair of daggers from the basket, and the daggers were still tied with bright red ribbons. With a flash of sword light, the blades of the daggers had already struck Lin Ning's throat.Her speed is undoubtedly very fast, whether it is the speed of her shots or the agility of her sword, and the sword's aura is so cold that it is daunting.
Such skills are enough to rank first in the arena.
Not fast enough, however.
At least that's the case for Lin Ning, but now she looks as if she has been stunned. When Aunt Gongsun's sword came over, she hadn't pulled out her sword yet.
"Oh? I thought it was Ximen Chuuxue, but I didn't expect it was just Ye Guhong."
Aunt Gongsun's voice became very pleasant, but the words she spoke were not very pleasant, but the next moment she couldn't help but widen her eyes - Lin Ning pulled out her Dragon Chanting Sword in response, Qingyue's clanging sound was still quiet On the street, it was even more piercing, and with another breath, the sword broke through the sword that was pierced by Aunt Gongsun with an incredible sword force.
Aunt Gongsun: "Hmph!"
She didn't dare to underestimate the enemy any more, she flew the silk and satin in her hands, and let the daggers wave like her arms. Not only that, but her moves and changes were full of beauty, one can imagine when Aunt Gongsun regained her true self The appearance, and then using this set of swordsmanship combined with dancing posture, it must be so beautiful.
It's a pity that the people who use this set of sword techniques have hearts like snakes and scorpions.
But Aunt Gongsun's swordsmanship was still not fast enough in Lin Ning's opinion. She could see the chains between each move, and she could also see where the flaws of each move were.In fact, not to mention each move, but this set of swordsmanship in general has a huge flaw. It pursues the combination of power and beauty, and sometimes the pursuit of beauty is greater than power.
This is like Aunt Gongsun, who was still wearing rouge and gouache when she was dressed as Grandma Xiong.
A common fault of beauty-loving beauties.
Lin Ning faced the battle calmly. In contrast, her set of Chunyang swordsmanship was wide open and closed, pure and fierce, with the thickness from the clear pool water, plus she specialized in the flaws of Gongsun Aunt from the beginning , it can be said that he gradually restrained her.
For a moment, the sword light was like a flash of lightning, and the surrounding leaves were destroyed by the sword energy, and pieces fell down, and were crushed by the sword light in an instant.
Aunt Gongsun's face under the disguise mask has long since sunk, even she can't see the origin of the young swordsman in front of her, she deliberately suspects that 'he' is Ximen Chuuxue, but 'his' age is not the same as Ximen Chuuxue However, when did such a powerful young swordsman appear in the arena?
Aunt Gongsun was fighting and her mood was flying.
In an instant, her two short swords cut like dragons, stabbing towards Lin Ning's face like lightning, but Lin Ning's Dragon Chanting Sword refused to dodge, and the sword light enveloped the room. His red satin had been strangled, and this move was equivalent to cutting off the two hands of Aunt Gongsun holding the sword.
Aunt Gongsun: "!"
Aunt Gongsun didn't stop doing anything, her body wrapped under the patched rough clothes flipped out in the air, her long skirt fluttered, and she was already flying five feet away.
Lin Ning raised his sword and chased after him.
Aunt Gongsun's lightness kung fu is comparable to her exquisite swordsmanship. Lin Ning seems to be one step behind her no matter how she chases her, but she doesn't show any intention of exhaustion. Aunt Gongsun also quickly discovered this, she knows If she was caught up, then she would not be a match for this young swordsman without her two swords.
She has to figure it out.
The street where the two of them fought was sparsely populated, but at this time they had come to the busiest street in the city, this street was brightly lit, there were teahouses, taverns, and various stalls along the street, In particular, there are a few food stalls, the aroma of the pot is mixed with the heat, and it is particularly noisy with all kinds of people.
Aunt Gongsun suddenly fell, and when she landed on the street, she shouted hoarsely in a hoarse old woman's voice: "Help, help—"
Her yelling made many people misunderstand that Lin Ning who was chasing after her was a villain who would not spare even old women. For a while, a few stunned young men came to block Lin Ning's way.
Lin Ning returned his kind eyes.
The brave man: "..."
If so, after such a short time, Aunt Gongsun got into the crowd and disappeared like a loach.Lin Ning could still smell the smell of rouge on her body, but in this street where all kinds of smells were mixed, the smell became vague.
Lin Ning gave up and followed.
In fact, she could have intercepted Aunt Gongsun, but she was not sure that after she had restrained Aunt Gongsun, she would be able to completely pry her mouth open, and get information about all the members of the red shoe organization she organized from her mouth.In the original book, only half of the members of the red shoes have specific names, and the rest are only called by names like "Second Niang" and "Third Niang". However, Lin Ning knows which city the red shoes' nest is in. She Go there and go straight to Huanglong.
Later, Lin Ning returned to the street where he met Aunt Gongsun, picked up the bamboo basket containing highly poisonous sugar-fried chestnuts, and picked up the two swords that Aunt Gongsun had discarded along the way.Then, after hesitating for a moment, she returned to the street where the murder case first occurred. From a distance, she heard the cry of the little girl who gave her the bamboo cage during the day.
The stone in Lin Ning's stomach became heavier.
The cricket in the grass cage gave a short cry.
Lin Ning lowered his head: "If you have the ability, you 'bark'."
(crickets: "??")
Lin Ning stayed in the city for another two days before leaving, and changed his way to Pingcheng, the largest port in Lingnan.Speaking of which, Pingcheng is full of dragons and snakes, and there are all kinds of places in the city. There are nobles like King Pingnan in the city, and there are also the most low-level thieves. However, as the largest port in Lingnan, Pingcheng is really prosperous in the eyes of outsiders.
Lin Ning hurried over all the way, and after entering the city, he wandered in the market for a long time, and knew a lot about Pingcheng. The concubine is often sick and weak, and rarely shows herself in front of people, but this does not prevent King Pingnan's love for this concubine, not to mention that the son of Prince Pingnan is born of the concubine.Her Fangchen is a big event for King Pingnan and the palace, and it is not a trivial matter for other people who have contacts with King Pingnan, so that many powerful merchants have come to Pingcheng recently, just to celebrate the birth of Princess Pingnan Fang Chen.
Lin Ning raised his eyebrows slightly.
Turning around, he walked towards the rouge gouache shop in Pingcheng. There were several more elegant rouge gouache shops, but after Lin Ning observed, he found that several of them belonged to the same main shop, and there were several other shops on this street. The shop belongs to the same family as them, and there seems to be only one other than the Pingnan Palace that can do this in Pingcheng:
Jiangnan Flower House.
As Lin Ning thought about it, he saw a person as soon as he turned his eyes.
It was a very handsome young man, wearing a dignified dark blue robe, he had a gentle demeanor and a tall and tall body, which could be said to be as gentle as jade.What Lin Ning noticed more was that his eyes were not in focus, that is to say he was blind, but when he walked on the ground, he would not collide with passers-by, no matter how he looked at it, he did not look like a blind man.
Lin Ning looked again at the shop he entered, and almost immediately recognized his identity.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Ning turned around and followed.
It was a rouge and gouache shop, and almost all the customers were women. As soon as Lin Ning came in, they all fell silent, and then whispered to each other while pinching handkerchiefs. There were also a few bold girls who looked straight at Lin Ning. Although Lin Ning's expression was cold, he couldn't stop them from scrutinizing them, and the next moment there was a laughing sound.
Lin Ning: "..."
Hua Manlou, who was about to follow the shopkeeper to the private room upstairs, stopped and looked at Lin Ning who was standing in the hall, "Is the young master here to look for you? This way please."
Lin Ning has not made a sound since she came in, and she is very sure that Hua Manlou's sentence is not a question, but more like a statement.
Lin Ning was not very surprised.
The shopkeeper was taken aback: "Young master, do you know that young swordsman?"
Hua Manlou only said: "He knows me."
The shopkeeper subconsciously became alert, he thought to himself that there are very few people in this world who don't know the Hua family, but they just don't know what their intentions are.
Hua Manlou said again at this time: "A young swordsman? He must be young and promising."
Lin Ning: "Mm. Mm. Mm. Thank you."
Hua Manlou was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized: "Please come with me."
Lin Ning: "OK."
She followed at a leisurely pace.
The female guests didn't realize the problem revealed in Huamanlou's words, they looked at this and then that, and whispered: "Why haven't I seen them in Pingcheng before?"
"Young masters wearing blue clothes are more gentle and lovable."
"Young masters in white clothes are more handsome."
Hua ManLou just pretended not to hear it. When he first entered the door, he had already accepted some comments from these female customers. This is why he was sure that the person following him was also a man, but he did not expect the sound of 'his' footsteps. So light, even younger than he thought.
Hua Manlou couldn't help but wonder why 'he' came to find him.
'He' is full of fragrance of flowers, but he appeared on this commercial street selling rouge and gouache. After seeing him, he recognized him and followed him in, but he was also a young and promising swordsman. I really can't figure it out.
However, he was very patient and gentle, and entertained the stranger politely.
Lin Ning couldn't help but look at him more, and said in a flat tone: "You are a good person."
Hua Manlou said gently, "I just entertained you for a cup of tea." He paused and continued, "Is it because of this reason, Young Master, that you turned around and came in with me?"
Lin Ning almost wanted to praise his sharpness, and in fact she did the same: "You are not blind, that's good."
The shopkeeper's eyes widened, and he gave Lin Ning a fierce look.
Lin Ning looked calm: "In this room, only the two of us can do it."
Shopkeeper: "..." What?Are you saying he is blind?
Hua Manlou could imagine the shopkeeper's expression, he couldn't hide his smile and said, "If you say that, what's the problem, my lord?"
"Yes." Lin Ning said truthfully, "I want your store to launch a rouge, priced at 200 taels a box."
Hua Manlou was stunned, he really didn't expect that 'he' came here to do this, but he thought about it and asked: "May I ask your purpose?"
The shopkeeper couldn't help saying: "I think it's the lion who opened his mouth. You are kind enough to bully the young master——"
Hua Manlou made a gesture of calmness and calmness, then looked at Lin Ning and listened to 'him' continue.
Lin Ning didn't hide it either: "I want to lure Grandma Xiong out."
Hua ManLou shuddered, apparently he also knew about Grandma Xiong's deeds, and had heard about the evil things she did.The government has posted her arrest warrants, but so far they have not been able to arrest her.
"She poisoned an ordinary citizen with her fried chestnuts in Heyang County. I met her and found out that her real identity was Aunt Gongsun. I followed her from Heyang County to Pingcheng. When playing Grandma Xiong, I still did not forget to smear hundreds of boxes of rouge from the Dayue Kingdom in the Western Regions, so I thought that instead of searching aimlessly, I would use rouge to lure her out." Lin Ning did not hesitate, However, her words are easy to misunderstand in many aspects, just like now, to Huamanlou's ears, it is 'he' who followed the smell of the box of rouge all the way from Heyang County to Pingcheng.
This seems unbelievable to others, but Hua Manlou can understand: "So after seeing me, Young Master, you think I can help you better?"
The shopkeeper saw that their young master wanted to agree, so he reminded: "Young master——"
Lin Ning glanced at the mortal: "'Better'."
Huamanlou understood: "I think my son is not aimless. The scent of flowers on your body is mixed but not messy, and you are very sensitive to the scent, so it is very likely that there is a formula for rouge. If you don't come to my shop, you will come to it." Other rouge shops, am I right?"
Lin Ning replied, "I don't think there is any difference if I go to the other two stores except this one." She said the names of the other two stores.
Xiao Xiao, the shopkeeper, took a deep breath.
Hua Manlou came to Pingcheng this time, in fact, he came with his elder brother, saying that he came to celebrate Princess Pingnan's birthday, but in fact, the Hua family hoped that he would come to relax. Didn't he meet Shangguan Feiyan, a woman who lied to her feelings? .The reason why he came here today is also to visit a master who develops flower ointment. He doesn't know much about their family's industry here, but after hearing the shopkeeper's reaction, he understood, and said gently : "It's all the family business earned by my father."
"Oh." Lin Ning's tone was also very flat, even though she knew very well how rich the Hua family in Jiangnan was, but she had never bothered about money, but in the past two years, she had no intention of earning a living. She didn't think about earning money until she came out of the valley, but the first source of income had already been cut off by others, and now she encountered the matter that Gongsun Da Niang provoked her.
Fortunately, she can cheat once this time.
Lin Ning lowered his eyes, and the cricket called out at this moment.
Hua Manlou had realized from before that the young swordsman in front of him had brought a cricket, but judging from 'his' words and deeds now, although 'he' is not the kind of person who cares much about what other people think, he does not It seems to be carrying a cricket. "This cricket?"
Lin Ning's tone couldn't help softening: "A little girl gave it to me."
She didn't say much, and instead read out a formula for rouge.She will know the rouge formula, thanks to the collection of Shenshui Palace, even if the jellyfish Yin Ji, the owner of the palace, does not use rouge gouache, but which woman does not love beauty? There is a secret recipe for rouge gouache in Shenshui Palace. I will make my own rouge.Lin Ning doesn't like this, but she happened to read the secret recipe, and let her say that she can actually come up with other beauty recipes, but they all require more precise instruments.
"I can give you the recipe, I just need your store to launch a new rouge today."
Hua Manlou didn't doubt the authenticity of the formula, but he knew the value of a rouge formula that had never been used before, so he said, "You don't have to be like this."
The shopkeeper hesitated to speak.
Lin Ning only said: "I think the two are equivalent, dude."
Hua Manlou didn't insist anymore, he paused and then said gently: "Is there any characteristic of Mrs. Gongsun? I'll let the guys in the shop pay attention."
Lin Ning liked him more and more, and once again praised him in his heart that his heart is like a bright moon.
Jiangnan Huajia is famous all over the world, and Pingcheng is no exception.
The news that their rouge gouache shop released a new 200-tael box of rouge quickly spread throughout Pingcheng, and many noble ladies and young ladies came here after hearing the news.
Sure enough, Aunt Gongsun also came.
Lin Ning immediately recognized her dressed as a lady, and the pair of red embroidered shoes with owls on her feet, and then followed her.
Aunt Gongsun walked around the city twice before she walked into a restaurant, walked out from the back door of the restaurant, and suddenly turned into an alley.There is only one gate in the alley, which looks like the corner gate of a large family's back garden.
Aunt Gongsun entered from the familiar door inside the corner gate, turned three times and two times, passed through a forest of flowers, crossed a small bridge, and came to a small building facing the lotus pond.
The light in the small building was already on.
It is now after dusk.
The small building was brightly lit, but there was no sound of people, not even a boy who answered the door.After Mrs. Gongsun went in, she came to the private room upstairs. There was no one there, but there was a table of wine and dishes that looked very delicate. There were seven pairs of cups and chopsticks on the table.
Lin Ning was crouching behind a big ginkgo tree with thick shade on the opposite side of the small building at this time, facing the upstairs window, the sky had already darkened at this time, even if someone came to look at the window, they would not notice it. She, and the timing of her coming this time is very good. Looking at the seven pairs of cups and chopsticks, I think that not only Aunt Gongsun is here this time, but also other people from the Red Shoes Organization.
Aunt Gongsun was not in a hurry to eat, she couldn't wait to go back to her bedroom, took out the rouge she had bought with great difficulty and studied it carefully, and took off the original disguise mask, revealing her original face, for better application rouge.
Speaking of which, Aunt Gongsun is charming and charming, and she can be called a national beauty, but the scope of her work has surpassed that of ordinary people in the world, and the other members of the red shoes organization are not much better.When Aunt Gongsun was Grandma Xiong, she liked to use sugar-fried chestnuts to harm innocent people. The burden of big and small noses, and plans to cut off the tongue next year, at the same time, I don't think there is anything wrong with it, and I take it for granted.
This was beyond Lin Ning's tolerance.
What's more, she appeared here today because of her personal grievances with Aunt Gongsun.
Aunt Gongsun shouldn't have harmed the one who poured Yexiang.
Lin Ning leaned against the ginkgo tree like a branch, and her breathing became extremely long, but she didn't wait for a long time. In less than half an hour, six people came one after another in the small building, and one of them still never A thousand miles away, the famous prostitute Ouyang Qing came from the capital.
They talked about this year's income, including money and "nose".
Shangguan Feiyan was also mentioned during the period.
Shangguan Feiyan was their little sister, but now she died in the Huo Xiu case.
Aunt Gongsun said: "I have avenged her, Huo Xiu will wait to die in that small building." She was the one who touched the mechanism of Huo Xiu's small building at the beginning, making Huo Xiu clever but was mistaken by his cleverness to kill him. Locked in, but never came out.
Er Niang smiled and said: "Didn't you say that Huo Xiu is the richest man in the world? Why did the elder sister come back empty-handed, or did the elder sister feel sorry for the younger sister, so she left all Huo Xiu's wealth to her?" What the younger sister was talking about was Shangguan Xueer, the younger sister of Shangguan Feiyan. After Huo Xiu was locked in the secret room, only Shangguan Xueer was left to guard him.
Aunt Gongsun showed a strange look in her eyes: "Even if she can knock out gold and silver wealth from Huo Xiu, it will not be too much."
Sanniang asked curiously, "What's going on? Could it be that the Jiangnan Hua family made the first move?"
Aunt Gongsun said slowly: "No, that wealth has already fallen into another hand, no matter who it is, it is impossible for anyone to ask for a tael of silver from this person."
Others were even more curious: "Who is so powerful?"
Aunt Gongsun refused to say any more, and changed the subject: "Little sister died, and I avenged her. In the future, if you feel that there is someone who is like-minded with our sisters, you can introduce her here."
Lin Ning's heart moved slightly, she didn't know there was such a stubble.
Originally, she thought that after Huo Xiu's conspiracy was exposed, the "market" he vacated, as well as the leaderless Tsing Yi Building, would be swallowed up by other forces.In this process, the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the dried shrimps, but I didn't expect that there was such a secret behind it.
Lin Ning carefully counted the villains who could swallow such a powerful force in the original book and be so feared by Aunt Gongsun. He always felt that the ghost villa was not like that. King Pingnan who intends to rebel?Anyway, she wrote it down and waited until the organization of the red shoes was settled.
This seems to have given Lin Ning a lot of motivation. Her eyes are no longer as cold as ice, but the inside has quietly warmed up.
Several women in the small building were still chatting and laughing happily. Lin Ning calmed down for a moment, then slid out from behind the ginkgo tree, jumped into the small building, shot like lightning, and tapped the girl in red closest to the window. The acupoints made her unable to move.
Erniang exclaimed, "Be careful!"
As soon as two words were spoken, three weapons had already stabbed Lin Ning.
They reacted quickly and made quick moves, especially the sixth-ranked nun in Tsing Yi.What she used was a short sword that was naked, and the first time she struck it, Sen Han's sword energy seemed to approach her eyebrows; what Er Niang used was a bright silver machete, which was also pulled out from her sleeve, and it was less than two feet long. ; The other weapon was pulled out of the sleeve by Ouyang Qing, who is said to have no martial arts at all.
They stabbed almost at the same time, and their moves were all deadly.
It's just that Lin Ning's Dragon Chanting Sword is faster and more powerful.
Aunt Gongsun, who was sitting at the top, changed her face at this time, "Why is it you!" After the battle in Songyang County that day, Aunt Gongsun knew that she was invincible and did not want to fight, so she left Songyang County overnight in disguise, and She didn't go back to Pingcheng on her own, but changed her appearance one after another on the road, and she also played tricks several times to make sure that no one followed, and then returned to Pingcheng.
Now it seems that she is too early to rest assured.
Aunt Gongsun was so cautious, and San Niang, who liked to cut people's noses, saw that she also drew her weapon.It was a shiny black whip that looked like a poisonous snake. She didn't seem to do it immediately, but quietly untied the whip from under the table.
Now as soon as he makes a move, he is faster than a poisonous snake.
The Dragon Chanting Sword in Lin Ning's hand seemed to sense something, and made a clear clanging sound.The next moment, the poisonous snake was devoured, leaving only a short whip on the ground.
It turned out that her whip had been cut off.
Sanniang was furious: "You are deceiving people too much!"
The Erniang, the nun in Tsing Yi and Ouyang Qing who attacked earlier were not much better. The three of them attacked together, not to mention poking ten or eight holes in his body. Under the surging sword energy, they even approached Body is very difficult.
And as they fought, the tables, chairs and benches in the room were smashed during the sword qi delivery room, and the girl in red who had her acupuncture points just stood there blankly, which also hindered her to some extent. After they fought, the girl in red was also cut by the sword energy, and Jiang Qingxia, who was not involved in the "siege" beside her, felt very distressed:
"You hurt Sixth Sister!"
He scolded Lin Ning again: "If you make a surprise attack like this, even if you win, you won't win by force."
Lin Ning said coldly: "Then I'll give you a good word." Her words were regarded as supercilious, and it made her understand that these women couldn't reason at all.Immediately afterwards, she unceremoniously flipped away the short sword of the nun in Tsing Yi, and the blade cut open her throat, and scarlet blood flowed down.
Even Ouyang Qing and San Niang were shaken away, with scarlet blood dripping from the corners of their mouths.
Aunt Gongsun couldn't sit still anymore, and she didn't know when there were two more daggers tied with red satin in her hand: "Enough! Come to me for everything you have."
Lin Ning: "...I came here for you."
Aunt Gongsun's face sank like water: "We have no enmity in recent days, and we have no grievances in the past, but now that you have hurt my sister, then I, Gongsun Lan, have completely written down this enmity." Said that the sword had been released, and the sword light flickered The seven-color ribbons on her neon dress began to dance non-stop, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a brilliant and brilliant morning glow, so bright that people couldn't even open their eyes, how could they tell where she was?Where is her sword?So how can you see her moves clearly?
Lin Ning thought: "Is the idiom used wrongly?" '
She is now in Lingnan, after leaving the restaurant upstairs, Lin Ning is planning to go north to the capital.In addition to the Jianghu sect like Tsing Yi Lou, she thought there was another organization that had an incomparably natural advantage in collecting information, and that was Six Doors.
The six doors are backed by the imperial court, and they are in charge of Jianghu affairs. Judging from today's behavior and style, even if he wants to maintain the balance between the Jianghu and the imperial court, he must have a certain degree of control over the Jianghu.This also reminded Lin Ning of the first arrester in the first six gates, Jin Jiuling, who knew the law and broke the law in the original book, committing several major crimes one after another.
Lin Ning was bored thinking.
Suddenly, I heard crickets calling.
Lin Ning was taken aback, and subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound. It was a five or six-year-old girl on the street corner holding a straw cage with a cricket in it. She was teasing the cricket in the grass cage by herself. From time to time, he looked at a group of children who were having fun at the other end, with envious eyes in their eyes.
"Big brother?"
The little girl was not afraid of Lin Ning, who looked sharp-eyed. Seeing Lin Ning staring at the cage in her hand, she lifted the cage and asked, "Brother, do you like crickets?"
Lin Ning nodded.
The little girl was very happy: "My father caught it for me, and my father made up the cage for me. My father is amazing!"
As she spoke, she glanced at the children at the other end, and said in a low voice, "I don't care to play with them."
Lin Ning looked at the little girl. Although her clothes were not new, they were still clean. There was only a faint smell, but the smell did not come from her.Lin Ning looked around again, and immediately understood the reason why this little girl was rejected by other children, her father was a stalker.
The little girl was curious again: "Is the eldest brother a hero?"
Lin Ning: "No."
The little girl bit her finger: "But big brother is carrying a sword."
Lin Ning said seriously: "I am a young hero."
It's not that the little girl didn't understand, she giggled.
Lin Ning laughed, and she became less aloof after laughing, and then sat on the stone steps casually, chatting with the little girl.During the period, she also took the thatch that the little girl brought from home, and weaved a few gadgets for her.
The little girl clapped her hands: "Big brother is really amazing, can you teach me?"
Lin Ning said solemnly: "The master's kung fu is not passed on to outsiders."
Little girl: "Okay then."
(Respondent: "...")
During the period, the children on the other side looked this way. They wanted to join in the fun, but they were too embarrassed to come. One of the children curled his lips. As soon as he sang their sarcasm for the little girl, Lin Ning gave him a kind note. eyes.
There was no sound for a moment.
Only then was Lin Ning satisfied, and he chatted with the little girl for half an hour, and stopped until the little girl's mother came to ask her to go home for dinner.
"Brother, this is for you."
The little girl handed Lin Ning the straw cage her father had woven for her, and Lin Ning couldn't say no to it with such pure eyes.She reached out and took the grass cage with the crickets, "Thank you."
The little girl frowned suddenly.
Lin Ning hung the straw cage around her waist, which made her dressed as a swordsman look a bit nondescript, but Lin Ning didn't care, and turned to the horses in the city against the slightly strange eyes of others.It's just that the horses in the horse shop today are very average. She got a promise from the horse dealer that a batch of good horses from Pingcheng, the largest port in Lingnan, will arrive early in the morning. I found an inn in the city and planned to stay here for one night before leaving tomorrow.
It was the night of the full moon.
Lin Ning was lying on the bed, awakened by the noise.
"Dead!"
Lin Ning: "..."
For some reason, Lin Ning had a particularly bad premonition.
This bad premonition prompted her to get up, and quickly rushed to the scene of the incident with the Dragon Yin Sword.The deceased was a young man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life. Lin Ning relied on her observation almost instantly and decided that he was the one who fell in love with Ye Xiang without anyone else explaining.
Not only that.
Lin Ning picked up the sugar-fried chestnuts that had fallen to the ground with a handkerchief, put them under his nose and smelled them, then looked up at the bright full moon, and knew who the culprit was:
Grandma Bear.
Strictly speaking, it is Aunt Gongsun, one of her identities is Grandma Xiong, who likes to sell poisonous sugar-fried chestnuts to passers-by on nights of the full moon. In fact, there is no specific reason for doing it, just because she wants to kill someone.
Lin Ning looked at the victim who was bleeding from seven orifices, as if there were several heavy stones in his stomach.She didn't look at the victim again, but carefully sniffed the smell of fried chestnuts in sugar, then observed the street environment, made a distinction, and ran in one direction.
After turning two streets, Lin Ning stopped.
"Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar, fried chestnuts in sugar just out of the pot! Hot and fragrant fried chestnuts in sugar!" The shout was an old woman holding a bamboo basket. Her waist was broken in the middle.The moonlight shone on her wrinkled face, making it look like a crumpled and unrolled straw paper.
No one would believe that such an old woman is a murderous female devil.
Lin Ning has not yet approached, but has already smelled the fragrance from the old woman. The fragrance is very pleasant, no matter how you look at it, it will not appear on a poor old woman who is already in her twilight years, and she walks She did look like a normal old woman hobbling, but her steps were light at the time, and more importantly, she was wearing a pair of bright red embroidered shoes.
“Hot and fragrant roasted chestnuts in sugar!”
The old woman continued to hawk as if she hadn't noticed Lin Ning, but Lin Ning clearly noticed that her hand holding the basket was ready to go.
Lin Ning didn't have much leisure to say anything to her, and directly put his right hand on the hilt of the Longyin Sword.
Aunt Gongsun didn't hide anymore, she took out a pair of daggers from the basket, and the daggers were still tied with bright red ribbons. With a flash of sword light, the blades of the daggers had already struck Lin Ning's throat.Her speed is undoubtedly very fast, whether it is the speed of her shots or the agility of her sword, and the sword's aura is so cold that it is daunting.
Such skills are enough to rank first in the arena.
Not fast enough, however.
At least that's the case for Lin Ning, but now she looks as if she has been stunned. When Aunt Gongsun's sword came over, she hadn't pulled out her sword yet.
"Oh? I thought it was Ximen Chuuxue, but I didn't expect it was just Ye Guhong."
Aunt Gongsun's voice became very pleasant, but the words she spoke were not very pleasant, but the next moment she couldn't help but widen her eyes - Lin Ning pulled out her Dragon Chanting Sword in response, Qingyue's clanging sound was still quiet On the street, it was even more piercing, and with another breath, the sword broke through the sword that was pierced by Aunt Gongsun with an incredible sword force.
Aunt Gongsun: "Hmph!"
She didn't dare to underestimate the enemy any more, she flew the silk and satin in her hands, and let the daggers wave like her arms. Not only that, but her moves and changes were full of beauty, one can imagine when Aunt Gongsun regained her true self The appearance, and then using this set of swordsmanship combined with dancing posture, it must be so beautiful.
It's a pity that the people who use this set of sword techniques have hearts like snakes and scorpions.
But Aunt Gongsun's swordsmanship was still not fast enough in Lin Ning's opinion. She could see the chains between each move, and she could also see where the flaws of each move were.In fact, not to mention each move, but this set of swordsmanship in general has a huge flaw. It pursues the combination of power and beauty, and sometimes the pursuit of beauty is greater than power.
This is like Aunt Gongsun, who was still wearing rouge and gouache when she was dressed as Grandma Xiong.
A common fault of beauty-loving beauties.
Lin Ning faced the battle calmly. In contrast, her set of Chunyang swordsmanship was wide open and closed, pure and fierce, with the thickness from the clear pool water, plus she specialized in the flaws of Gongsun Aunt from the beginning , it can be said that he gradually restrained her.
For a moment, the sword light was like a flash of lightning, and the surrounding leaves were destroyed by the sword energy, and pieces fell down, and were crushed by the sword light in an instant.
Aunt Gongsun's face under the disguise mask has long since sunk, even she can't see the origin of the young swordsman in front of her, she deliberately suspects that 'he' is Ximen Chuuxue, but 'his' age is not the same as Ximen Chuuxue However, when did such a powerful young swordsman appear in the arena?
Aunt Gongsun was fighting and her mood was flying.
In an instant, her two short swords cut like dragons, stabbing towards Lin Ning's face like lightning, but Lin Ning's Dragon Chanting Sword refused to dodge, and the sword light enveloped the room. His red satin had been strangled, and this move was equivalent to cutting off the two hands of Aunt Gongsun holding the sword.
Aunt Gongsun: "!"
Aunt Gongsun didn't stop doing anything, her body wrapped under the patched rough clothes flipped out in the air, her long skirt fluttered, and she was already flying five feet away.
Lin Ning raised his sword and chased after him.
Aunt Gongsun's lightness kung fu is comparable to her exquisite swordsmanship. Lin Ning seems to be one step behind her no matter how she chases her, but she doesn't show any intention of exhaustion. Aunt Gongsun also quickly discovered this, she knows If she was caught up, then she would not be a match for this young swordsman without her two swords.
She has to figure it out.
The street where the two of them fought was sparsely populated, but at this time they had come to the busiest street in the city, this street was brightly lit, there were teahouses, taverns, and various stalls along the street, In particular, there are a few food stalls, the aroma of the pot is mixed with the heat, and it is particularly noisy with all kinds of people.
Aunt Gongsun suddenly fell, and when she landed on the street, she shouted hoarsely in a hoarse old woman's voice: "Help, help—"
Her yelling made many people misunderstand that Lin Ning who was chasing after her was a villain who would not spare even old women. For a while, a few stunned young men came to block Lin Ning's way.
Lin Ning returned his kind eyes.
The brave man: "..."
If so, after such a short time, Aunt Gongsun got into the crowd and disappeared like a loach.Lin Ning could still smell the smell of rouge on her body, but in this street where all kinds of smells were mixed, the smell became vague.
Lin Ning gave up and followed.
In fact, she could have intercepted Aunt Gongsun, but she was not sure that after she had restrained Aunt Gongsun, she would be able to completely pry her mouth open, and get information about all the members of the red shoe organization she organized from her mouth.In the original book, only half of the members of the red shoes have specific names, and the rest are only called by names like "Second Niang" and "Third Niang". However, Lin Ning knows which city the red shoes' nest is in. She Go there and go straight to Huanglong.
Later, Lin Ning returned to the street where he met Aunt Gongsun, picked up the bamboo basket containing highly poisonous sugar-fried chestnuts, and picked up the two swords that Aunt Gongsun had discarded along the way.Then, after hesitating for a moment, she returned to the street where the murder case first occurred. From a distance, she heard the cry of the little girl who gave her the bamboo cage during the day.
The stone in Lin Ning's stomach became heavier.
The cricket in the grass cage gave a short cry.
Lin Ning lowered his head: "If you have the ability, you 'bark'."
(crickets: "??")
Lin Ning stayed in the city for another two days before leaving, and changed his way to Pingcheng, the largest port in Lingnan.Speaking of which, Pingcheng is full of dragons and snakes, and there are all kinds of places in the city. There are nobles like King Pingnan in the city, and there are also the most low-level thieves. However, as the largest port in Lingnan, Pingcheng is really prosperous in the eyes of outsiders.
Lin Ning hurried over all the way, and after entering the city, he wandered in the market for a long time, and knew a lot about Pingcheng. The concubine is often sick and weak, and rarely shows herself in front of people, but this does not prevent King Pingnan's love for this concubine, not to mention that the son of Prince Pingnan is born of the concubine.Her Fangchen is a big event for King Pingnan and the palace, and it is not a trivial matter for other people who have contacts with King Pingnan, so that many powerful merchants have come to Pingcheng recently, just to celebrate the birth of Princess Pingnan Fang Chen.
Lin Ning raised his eyebrows slightly.
Turning around, he walked towards the rouge gouache shop in Pingcheng. There were several more elegant rouge gouache shops, but after Lin Ning observed, he found that several of them belonged to the same main shop, and there were several other shops on this street. The shop belongs to the same family as them, and there seems to be only one other than the Pingnan Palace that can do this in Pingcheng:
Jiangnan Flower House.
As Lin Ning thought about it, he saw a person as soon as he turned his eyes.
It was a very handsome young man, wearing a dignified dark blue robe, he had a gentle demeanor and a tall and tall body, which could be said to be as gentle as jade.What Lin Ning noticed more was that his eyes were not in focus, that is to say he was blind, but when he walked on the ground, he would not collide with passers-by, no matter how he looked at it, he did not look like a blind man.
Lin Ning looked again at the shop he entered, and almost immediately recognized his identity.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Ning turned around and followed.
It was a rouge and gouache shop, and almost all the customers were women. As soon as Lin Ning came in, they all fell silent, and then whispered to each other while pinching handkerchiefs. There were also a few bold girls who looked straight at Lin Ning. Although Lin Ning's expression was cold, he couldn't stop them from scrutinizing them, and the next moment there was a laughing sound.
Lin Ning: "..."
Hua Manlou, who was about to follow the shopkeeper to the private room upstairs, stopped and looked at Lin Ning who was standing in the hall, "Is the young master here to look for you? This way please."
Lin Ning has not made a sound since she came in, and she is very sure that Hua Manlou's sentence is not a question, but more like a statement.
Lin Ning was not very surprised.
The shopkeeper was taken aback: "Young master, do you know that young swordsman?"
Hua Manlou only said: "He knows me."
The shopkeeper subconsciously became alert, he thought to himself that there are very few people in this world who don't know the Hua family, but they just don't know what their intentions are.
Hua Manlou said again at this time: "A young swordsman? He must be young and promising."
Lin Ning: "Mm. Mm. Mm. Thank you."
Hua Manlou was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized: "Please come with me."
Lin Ning: "OK."
She followed at a leisurely pace.
The female guests didn't realize the problem revealed in Huamanlou's words, they looked at this and then that, and whispered: "Why haven't I seen them in Pingcheng before?"
"Young masters wearing blue clothes are more gentle and lovable."
"Young masters in white clothes are more handsome."
Hua ManLou just pretended not to hear it. When he first entered the door, he had already accepted some comments from these female customers. This is why he was sure that the person following him was also a man, but he did not expect the sound of 'his' footsteps. So light, even younger than he thought.
Hua Manlou couldn't help but wonder why 'he' came to find him.
'He' is full of fragrance of flowers, but he appeared on this commercial street selling rouge and gouache. After seeing him, he recognized him and followed him in, but he was also a young and promising swordsman. I really can't figure it out.
However, he was very patient and gentle, and entertained the stranger politely.
Lin Ning couldn't help but look at him more, and said in a flat tone: "You are a good person."
Hua Manlou said gently, "I just entertained you for a cup of tea." He paused and continued, "Is it because of this reason, Young Master, that you turned around and came in with me?"
Lin Ning almost wanted to praise his sharpness, and in fact she did the same: "You are not blind, that's good."
The shopkeeper's eyes widened, and he gave Lin Ning a fierce look.
Lin Ning looked calm: "In this room, only the two of us can do it."
Shopkeeper: "..." What?Are you saying he is blind?
Hua Manlou could imagine the shopkeeper's expression, he couldn't hide his smile and said, "If you say that, what's the problem, my lord?"
"Yes." Lin Ning said truthfully, "I want your store to launch a rouge, priced at 200 taels a box."
Hua Manlou was stunned, he really didn't expect that 'he' came here to do this, but he thought about it and asked: "May I ask your purpose?"
The shopkeeper couldn't help saying: "I think it's the lion who opened his mouth. You are kind enough to bully the young master——"
Hua Manlou made a gesture of calmness and calmness, then looked at Lin Ning and listened to 'him' continue.
Lin Ning didn't hide it either: "I want to lure Grandma Xiong out."
Hua ManLou shuddered, apparently he also knew about Grandma Xiong's deeds, and had heard about the evil things she did.The government has posted her arrest warrants, but so far they have not been able to arrest her.
"She poisoned an ordinary citizen with her fried chestnuts in Heyang County. I met her and found out that her real identity was Aunt Gongsun. I followed her from Heyang County to Pingcheng. When playing Grandma Xiong, I still did not forget to smear hundreds of boxes of rouge from the Dayue Kingdom in the Western Regions, so I thought that instead of searching aimlessly, I would use rouge to lure her out." Lin Ning did not hesitate, However, her words are easy to misunderstand in many aspects, just like now, to Huamanlou's ears, it is 'he' who followed the smell of the box of rouge all the way from Heyang County to Pingcheng.
This seems unbelievable to others, but Hua Manlou can understand: "So after seeing me, Young Master, you think I can help you better?"
The shopkeeper saw that their young master wanted to agree, so he reminded: "Young master——"
Lin Ning glanced at the mortal: "'Better'."
Huamanlou understood: "I think my son is not aimless. The scent of flowers on your body is mixed but not messy, and you are very sensitive to the scent, so it is very likely that there is a formula for rouge. If you don't come to my shop, you will come to it." Other rouge shops, am I right?"
Lin Ning replied, "I don't think there is any difference if I go to the other two stores except this one." She said the names of the other two stores.
Xiao Xiao, the shopkeeper, took a deep breath.
Hua Manlou came to Pingcheng this time, in fact, he came with his elder brother, saying that he came to celebrate Princess Pingnan's birthday, but in fact, the Hua family hoped that he would come to relax. Didn't he meet Shangguan Feiyan, a woman who lied to her feelings? .The reason why he came here today is also to visit a master who develops flower ointment. He doesn't know much about their family's industry here, but after hearing the shopkeeper's reaction, he understood, and said gently : "It's all the family business earned by my father."
"Oh." Lin Ning's tone was also very flat, even though she knew very well how rich the Hua family in Jiangnan was, but she had never bothered about money, but in the past two years, she had no intention of earning a living. She didn't think about earning money until she came out of the valley, but the first source of income had already been cut off by others, and now she encountered the matter that Gongsun Da Niang provoked her.
Fortunately, she can cheat once this time.
Lin Ning lowered his eyes, and the cricket called out at this moment.
Hua Manlou had realized from before that the young swordsman in front of him had brought a cricket, but judging from 'his' words and deeds now, although 'he' is not the kind of person who cares much about what other people think, he does not It seems to be carrying a cricket. "This cricket?"
Lin Ning's tone couldn't help softening: "A little girl gave it to me."
She didn't say much, and instead read out a formula for rouge.She will know the rouge formula, thanks to the collection of Shenshui Palace, even if the jellyfish Yin Ji, the owner of the palace, does not use rouge gouache, but which woman does not love beauty? There is a secret recipe for rouge gouache in Shenshui Palace. I will make my own rouge.Lin Ning doesn't like this, but she happened to read the secret recipe, and let her say that she can actually come up with other beauty recipes, but they all require more precise instruments.
"I can give you the recipe, I just need your store to launch a new rouge today."
Hua Manlou didn't doubt the authenticity of the formula, but he knew the value of a rouge formula that had never been used before, so he said, "You don't have to be like this."
The shopkeeper hesitated to speak.
Lin Ning only said: "I think the two are equivalent, dude."
Hua Manlou didn't insist anymore, he paused and then said gently: "Is there any characteristic of Mrs. Gongsun? I'll let the guys in the shop pay attention."
Lin Ning liked him more and more, and once again praised him in his heart that his heart is like a bright moon.
Jiangnan Huajia is famous all over the world, and Pingcheng is no exception.
The news that their rouge gouache shop released a new 200-tael box of rouge quickly spread throughout Pingcheng, and many noble ladies and young ladies came here after hearing the news.
Sure enough, Aunt Gongsun also came.
Lin Ning immediately recognized her dressed as a lady, and the pair of red embroidered shoes with owls on her feet, and then followed her.
Aunt Gongsun walked around the city twice before she walked into a restaurant, walked out from the back door of the restaurant, and suddenly turned into an alley.There is only one gate in the alley, which looks like the corner gate of a large family's back garden.
Aunt Gongsun entered from the familiar door inside the corner gate, turned three times and two times, passed through a forest of flowers, crossed a small bridge, and came to a small building facing the lotus pond.
The light in the small building was already on.
It is now after dusk.
The small building was brightly lit, but there was no sound of people, not even a boy who answered the door.After Mrs. Gongsun went in, she came to the private room upstairs. There was no one there, but there was a table of wine and dishes that looked very delicate. There were seven pairs of cups and chopsticks on the table.
Lin Ning was crouching behind a big ginkgo tree with thick shade on the opposite side of the small building at this time, facing the upstairs window, the sky had already darkened at this time, even if someone came to look at the window, they would not notice it. She, and the timing of her coming this time is very good. Looking at the seven pairs of cups and chopsticks, I think that not only Aunt Gongsun is here this time, but also other people from the Red Shoes Organization.
Aunt Gongsun was not in a hurry to eat, she couldn't wait to go back to her bedroom, took out the rouge she had bought with great difficulty and studied it carefully, and took off the original disguise mask, revealing her original face, for better application rouge.
Speaking of which, Aunt Gongsun is charming and charming, and she can be called a national beauty, but the scope of her work has surpassed that of ordinary people in the world, and the other members of the red shoes organization are not much better.When Aunt Gongsun was Grandma Xiong, she liked to use sugar-fried chestnuts to harm innocent people. The burden of big and small noses, and plans to cut off the tongue next year, at the same time, I don't think there is anything wrong with it, and I take it for granted.
This was beyond Lin Ning's tolerance.
What's more, she appeared here today because of her personal grievances with Aunt Gongsun.
Aunt Gongsun shouldn't have harmed the one who poured Yexiang.
Lin Ning leaned against the ginkgo tree like a branch, and her breathing became extremely long, but she didn't wait for a long time. In less than half an hour, six people came one after another in the small building, and one of them still never A thousand miles away, the famous prostitute Ouyang Qing came from the capital.
They talked about this year's income, including money and "nose".
Shangguan Feiyan was also mentioned during the period.
Shangguan Feiyan was their little sister, but now she died in the Huo Xiu case.
Aunt Gongsun said: "I have avenged her, Huo Xiu will wait to die in that small building." She was the one who touched the mechanism of Huo Xiu's small building at the beginning, making Huo Xiu clever but was mistaken by his cleverness to kill him. Locked in, but never came out.
Er Niang smiled and said: "Didn't you say that Huo Xiu is the richest man in the world? Why did the elder sister come back empty-handed, or did the elder sister feel sorry for the younger sister, so she left all Huo Xiu's wealth to her?" What the younger sister was talking about was Shangguan Xueer, the younger sister of Shangguan Feiyan. After Huo Xiu was locked in the secret room, only Shangguan Xueer was left to guard him.
Aunt Gongsun showed a strange look in her eyes: "Even if she can knock out gold and silver wealth from Huo Xiu, it will not be too much."
Sanniang asked curiously, "What's going on? Could it be that the Jiangnan Hua family made the first move?"
Aunt Gongsun said slowly: "No, that wealth has already fallen into another hand, no matter who it is, it is impossible for anyone to ask for a tael of silver from this person."
Others were even more curious: "Who is so powerful?"
Aunt Gongsun refused to say any more, and changed the subject: "Little sister died, and I avenged her. In the future, if you feel that there is someone who is like-minded with our sisters, you can introduce her here."
Lin Ning's heart moved slightly, she didn't know there was such a stubble.
Originally, she thought that after Huo Xiu's conspiracy was exposed, the "market" he vacated, as well as the leaderless Tsing Yi Building, would be swallowed up by other forces.In this process, the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the dried shrimps, but I didn't expect that there was such a secret behind it.
Lin Ning carefully counted the villains who could swallow such a powerful force in the original book and be so feared by Aunt Gongsun. He always felt that the ghost villa was not like that. King Pingnan who intends to rebel?Anyway, she wrote it down and waited until the organization of the red shoes was settled.
This seems to have given Lin Ning a lot of motivation. Her eyes are no longer as cold as ice, but the inside has quietly warmed up.
Several women in the small building were still chatting and laughing happily. Lin Ning calmed down for a moment, then slid out from behind the ginkgo tree, jumped into the small building, shot like lightning, and tapped the girl in red closest to the window. The acupoints made her unable to move.
Erniang exclaimed, "Be careful!"
As soon as two words were spoken, three weapons had already stabbed Lin Ning.
They reacted quickly and made quick moves, especially the sixth-ranked nun in Tsing Yi.What she used was a short sword that was naked, and the first time she struck it, Sen Han's sword energy seemed to approach her eyebrows; what Er Niang used was a bright silver machete, which was also pulled out from her sleeve, and it was less than two feet long. ; The other weapon was pulled out of the sleeve by Ouyang Qing, who is said to have no martial arts at all.
They stabbed almost at the same time, and their moves were all deadly.
It's just that Lin Ning's Dragon Chanting Sword is faster and more powerful.
Aunt Gongsun, who was sitting at the top, changed her face at this time, "Why is it you!" After the battle in Songyang County that day, Aunt Gongsun knew that she was invincible and did not want to fight, so she left Songyang County overnight in disguise, and She didn't go back to Pingcheng on her own, but changed her appearance one after another on the road, and she also played tricks several times to make sure that no one followed, and then returned to Pingcheng.
Now it seems that she is too early to rest assured.
Aunt Gongsun was so cautious, and San Niang, who liked to cut people's noses, saw that she also drew her weapon.It was a shiny black whip that looked like a poisonous snake. She didn't seem to do it immediately, but quietly untied the whip from under the table.
Now as soon as he makes a move, he is faster than a poisonous snake.
The Dragon Chanting Sword in Lin Ning's hand seemed to sense something, and made a clear clanging sound.The next moment, the poisonous snake was devoured, leaving only a short whip on the ground.
It turned out that her whip had been cut off.
Sanniang was furious: "You are deceiving people too much!"
The Erniang, the nun in Tsing Yi and Ouyang Qing who attacked earlier were not much better. The three of them attacked together, not to mention poking ten or eight holes in his body. Under the surging sword energy, they even approached Body is very difficult.
And as they fought, the tables, chairs and benches in the room were smashed during the sword qi delivery room, and the girl in red who had her acupuncture points just stood there blankly, which also hindered her to some extent. After they fought, the girl in red was also cut by the sword energy, and Jiang Qingxia, who was not involved in the "siege" beside her, felt very distressed:
"You hurt Sixth Sister!"
He scolded Lin Ning again: "If you make a surprise attack like this, even if you win, you won't win by force."
Lin Ning said coldly: "Then I'll give you a good word." Her words were regarded as supercilious, and it made her understand that these women couldn't reason at all.Immediately afterwards, she unceremoniously flipped away the short sword of the nun in Tsing Yi, and the blade cut open her throat, and scarlet blood flowed down.
Even Ouyang Qing and San Niang were shaken away, with scarlet blood dripping from the corners of their mouths.
Aunt Gongsun couldn't sit still anymore, and she didn't know when there were two more daggers tied with red satin in her hand: "Enough! Come to me for everything you have."
Lin Ning: "...I came here for you."
Aunt Gongsun's face sank like water: "We have no enmity in recent days, and we have no grievances in the past, but now that you have hurt my sister, then I, Gongsun Lan, have completely written down this enmity." Said that the sword had been released, and the sword light flickered The seven-color ribbons on her neon dress began to dance non-stop, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a brilliant and brilliant morning glow, so bright that people couldn't even open their eyes, how could they tell where she was?Where is her sword?So how can you see her moves clearly?
Lin Ning thought: "Is the idiom used wrongly?" '
