he doesn't use a knife

Noisy.

The noise that wakes up all sweet dreams.

It rang in my ears, like a thunderbolt exploding on the green water painting boat.

Lin Tianzhen opened his eyes immediately.

Guangyin City is a small city, but a small city also has its advantages.

For example, this early morning, the busiest place should be the small stalls on the shore, and there are shouts and shouts one after another on the side of the road.

But this morning, the noise was on the boat.

Maybe it's just that the vendors got up late, and the voices of the shouters hadn't opened yet.

There are many reasons that can be used to explain the weirdness of this day.

Ke Lintian really didn't think so.

He has been hunted down by Tianwenzhai for half a month, and he has already developed a sense of crisis.

Now, Lin Tianzhen sensed the crisis.

It was an indescribable feeling.

It seemed that there was a sharp knife against his chest at any time, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

Lin Tianzhen felt that this should be the murderous intent that his father had mentioned.

It cannot be seen, touched, or tasted.

But as long as someone wants to kill someone, this feeling will make the hair stand on end, and the chill will run from the spine to the soles of the feet.

Lin Tianzhen woke up completely.

He didn't dare to sleep anymore, seeing Lin Tianjiao was still drooling in her dream, he quickly woke her up and made a beheading gesture.

Lin Tianjiao was startled, and whispered: "Then what should we do?"

Lin Tianzhen had no choice but to look at the two people who were still leaning against the window, and moved closer. He opened his eyes wide and tiptoed to look, but suddenly his body sank, and Lin Tianjiao grabbed his arm.

Lin Tianzhen asked in a low voice, "What are you stopping me for?"

Lin Tianjiao said: "Brother, now we are asking for help from others. You said that if you were sleeping soundly and someone woke you up, would you still be willing to help him?"

The logic seems to be the same.

But that kind of killing intent made Lin Tianzhen bewildered, and felt the coldness creeping into his heart and lungs.

He was a little anxious: "Then shall we wait here? What if people from Tianwenzhai come to kick the door later!"

Lin Tianjiao couldn't do anything, but she still hugged his arm tightly, not allowing him to come closer.

Lin Tianzhen then said: "My sister, don't be afraid, I won't shout, I'll shake them awake, let's hide under the bed, then just pretend we don't know what's going on!"

"This... can it be done?" Lin Tianjiao hesitated.

"Listen to me, it will definitely work!"

Lin Tianzhen let go of Lin Tianjiao's grip on his hands, and stretched out his hand, which was about to land on Xue Lanling's shoulder.

But he was so nervous that his heart was about to pop out of his throat.

The hand trembled violently.

Lin Tianzhen made up his mind, closed his eyes, and was about to press down——

He couldn't press it.

Because Bai Yuxiao blocked his hand in the air, the acupuncture point was sore and swollen, that hand couldn't move anymore.

Lin Tianzhen's complexion changed, he looked up and saw Xue Lanling's smiling eyes.

But looking into it, Lin Tianzhen's heart beat even faster, and he was almost tired, as if it would stop suddenly at a certain moment.

He felt that he had encountered that killing intent again.

Hidden in every corner, invisible and intangible, but as long as you bump into it, you will be oppressed by it and can't breathe.

He looked into Xue Lanling's eyes and could see an obvious smile.

But the sharp blade seemed to be sharper, and it had already pierced a hole in his chest.

Lin Tianzhen's lips trembled, he was speechless.

He could barely breathe.

Xue Lanling's expression was normal, and he only asked him, "What's wrong?"

Lin Tianjiao first sensed that something was wrong with him, hurriedly tugged him, and hurriedly explained to Xue Lanling: "Hero, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I just want to wake up the two heroes! Because, because of Tianwenzhai and Lianhuanxie People, it seems that they are already searching for ships!"

Lin Tianzhen blinked again and again.

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly knocked heavily.

Lin Tianjiao also shivered.

The person outside the room said loudly: "This guest, you can have breakfast in the main hall!"

Xue Lanling untied Lin Tianzhen's acupoints and lazily replied, "Wait a minute."

Lin Tianzhen's acupoints were unlocked, and his hands and feet were a little weak. He lay down on the table and poured himself a cup of tea with trembling hands. Water marks on the white jade flute.

After a night of rain, the sky has just cleared up.

After Lin Tianzhen finished drinking a cup of tea, Duan Yishuang also woke up.

Xue Lanling said: "Someone knocked on the door just now and invited me to have breakfast in the main hall."

Duan Yishuang was still a little dazed, and asked, "Huh?"

Xue Lanling glanced at him, smiled, poured a cup of tea for him with his own hands, handed it over and said, "It's nothing, just thinking, it's probably a Hongmen banquet. Wake up, after all, if it's a Hongmen banquet, I still have to rely on Hero Duan to protect me."

Duan Yishuang also drank the tea cooperatively.

His lips were a little thin, and when he sipped the last drop of tea, he looked a little cold.

Duan Yishuang said: "...I was joking."

Green Water Painting Boat is indeed very lively today.

All the people who rested on the boat last night were invited to the main hall of the boat.

The dishes in the main hall were fresh and placed on the table. The aroma was wafting and the color was just right. It seemed like a very sincere banquet.

The person who entertained them was not someone else.

It was the owner of the green water painting boat, that is, what Lin Tianzhen and the others said, a hall master of the Lianhuan Pavilion.

——Lu Ji.

Lu is a man.

He sat at the top, like the stars holding the moon, he should have been very chic, suave and glamorous.

But Lu Ji's complexion was sallow.

He was thin and even short.He was wearing dark green clothes, and his whole body was like a long bone frame, with no blood at all.

He rolled up his sleeves, put a volume of books on his lap, and wore a turban on his head.

Looks like a reader.

When Lu saw these people, he said in a hoarse voice: "Today, I will entertain all distinguished guests, and invite you to taste the delicacies in Guangyin City. This is also my thank you from Lianhuanxie to all distinguished guests."

Everyone bowed their hands to say thanks, and when they were seated, there was a staggering exchange of glasses of wine, and there were occasional laughter.

Xue Lanling sat lazily at the table, looking soft and boneless, so she borrowed half of Duan Yishuang's shoulder and leaned on it.

The Lin brothers and sisters stood behind them, clutching the hem of their clothes nervously.

Xue Lanling can be calm and calm, and Duan Yishuang is calm and calm, but the Lin brothers and sisters cannot be calm.

They have been hunted down by Tianwenzhai for too long.

Every day, every night is spent in panic and restlessness.

They are afraid.

Afraid of being caught by Tian Wenzhai, afraid that he would be easily recognized just by standing here.

Even if they have disguised themselves, they have painted themselves as inconspicuous and featureless.

They are still tense.

The laughter and laughter seemed to never end, they got into my ears for a while, and lingered in my mind for a while.

The more Lin Tianzhen listened, the more he felt his heart beating so hard that he was about to vomit.

Lu Ji, who was sitting high on the head, called out a few buskers and asked them to sing and babble for a long time.

At the end of the quarrel, the Lin brothers and sisters had torn both sides of their clothes.

Lu immediately stood up from the chair and walked down.

He walked slowly past each table, squinting to see.

Everyone here understood his intentions and knew that he was looking for someone.But no one knew who he was looking for and why he was looking for it.

Lu would not say it, and smart people would never ask.

Because this is a matter of Lianhuanxie, a matter of Jianghu, that is, an untouchable secret.

Anyone who walks the rivers and lakes, no one will openly challenge the eight sects.

The more you walk in this arena, the more you will understand how much weight the eight sects have in this arena.

Everyone understands this truth.

So no one moved, and no one asked.

Only Xue Lanling, he was almost talking next to Duan Yishuang's ear, and the hot air in his breath sprinkled on that person's white earlobe.

His eyes were so deep that no one could see what was inside.

But what he said was intoxicating.

Xue Lanling said: "I used to only know that the eight sects are very famous, but I didn't know that they were so famous. A chain of pavilions can have such a battle. If the eight sects gather together, I think it will be very lively."

Maybe it was because the heat was so hot that Duan Yishuang's earlobe was burned red.

It's quiet all around.

He couldn't wait for Duan Yishuang's reply.

But Lu had already walked over, getting closer and closer, and finally stood still in front of them.

Lu Jixu narrowed his eyes.

In fact, those eyes are slender enough, so thin that it is easy to think of a mouse hiding in a corner, or a fox huddling in the shadows.

When Lu Ji looked at people like this, there seemed to be two thin lines on his face.

Lu saluted Duan Yishuang and said: "Last night, someone came to report that Wuxiajian had entered Guangyin City. You came so suddenly that you couldn't entertain him well. Please also invite Haihan."

Lu Ji, who sat at the head of the hall, was different from ordinary disciples of Lianhuanxie.

Ordinary disciples were polite to Duan Yishuang and even fawned on him, which only meant that they wanted to be like this and loved to be courteous.

But as the head of the hall, even if Lu treats each other with courtesy, it represents something completely different.

——The attitude of Lianhuanxie.

Only when Lianhuanxie gave Duan Yishuang face from top to bottom, as the head of the hall, Lu Ji would respect him so much.

The reason is very simple.

Duan Yishuang was not surprised either.

In terms of the time spent in the Jianghu, Duan Yishuang has not been walking for a long time, but he is very famous, even though he has never joined any organization of the Eight Great Sects, and has never walked alone without restraint.

It is true that he does not have a deep friendship with the Eight Great Schools, but he will not be flattered by Lian Huanxie's courteous treatment.

Wuxiajian does whatever he wants, it just depends on whether he is willing or not, as long as he has a clear conscience.

Duan Yishuang will not look down on Lianhuanxie because of this, nor will she look down on herself because of it.

He will also pay back this face.

He stood up and cupped his hands, and said: "Teacher Lu is serious. I just passed by here. I heard that the green water painting boats in Guangyin City are the most famous. I came here because of the name. I can enjoy the beautiful scenery. It really lives up to its reputation."

The words are impeccable, which can be said to be at your fingertips.

But he is clearly a person who cherishes words like gold.

Lu Ji naturally understood that forcing a person who doesn't like to talk too much is an obvious way to make things difficult.

Lu Evening just said: "Where is that." He turned to look at the figure sitting beside Duan Yishuang.

Xue Lanling was smiling.

He smiled lightly, and the golden feather tassels on his hair glistened in the rising sun.

Very bright, in contrast to his dark eyes.

Lu Ji was not shocked by his appearance.

Usually, those who can be the hall master can endure surprise and curiosity better than others.

Lu Ji just had a hesitant expression on his face, and he said, "Dare to ask this distinguished guest..."

Xue Lanling said: "I'm not a distinguished guest, I just follow Wuxiajian around."

Lu Ji's eyes fell back on Duan Yishuang.

Duan Yishuang didn't speak, but nodded, accepting what Xue Lanling said.

Lu Ji cupped his hands, and then looked at the Lin brothers and sisters standing behind them.

Lin Tianzhen was already nervous enough before Lu Ji came, and now that Lu Ji looked at him so directly, he no longer felt any fear.

Having thought about all the messy thoughts a long time ago, and even carefully guessing how to die tragically, Lin Tianzhen is well prepared for what will happen to him.

He wasn't going to be scared all the time.

Therefore, when Lu Ji looked over, he still raised his chest and looked more energetic.

Lu immediately asked: "These two are...?"

Lin Tianzhen glanced at Xue Lanling who was sitting in front of them. Seeing that the hero had no intention of rescuing the siege, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and perform by himself.

He cleared his throat and said in a choked voice, "Oh...you don't even know who he is, and you still invite him to dinner. You've killed you."

Lu was stunned.

Duan Yishuang coughed lightly.

Xue Lanling laughed, and said: "Master Lu doesn't need to ask him, these two are the maids I brought. After all, I am a person who loves to enjoy life and can't bear hardships the most, so I brought two out from home. Let them see the world."

Lu Ji frowned, took half a step forward, and said, "But how can the maid have the courage to say such a thing."

Xue Lanling said: "If I brought it, then I should have such courage."

Lu Ji rolled his eyes, and was about to ask again, but Duan Yishuang suddenly said: "Indeed, these two girls were brought from Mr. Xue's own home."

The arena also pays attention to status and human relations.

If the same words are said by others, it is still open to discussion, and it needs to be carefully thought out and compared again and again.

But if you let the famous people in the world say it, the fake will become true, and the real will become fake, reverse black and white, exchange right and wrong, it's as simple as that.

It's rare for Duan Yishuang to take the initiative to save someone from a siege, especially after he made false claims.

Lu Ji still had some doubts in his heart.

But Duan Yishuang had already said so, so he couldn't help it.

Lu Ji sighed: "If that's the case, then it's a misunderstanding. Alas! In fact, you don't know. We are looking for a pair of brothers and sisters. Those two are burglars who have been haunting Bizhou recently and stole a piece of Tianwenzhai. Baby, Tianwenzhai and our Lianhuanxie searched together for a long time, but failed to find these two snitches, and just last night, the people of Tianwenzhai discovered that these two snitches were hiding in the green water painting boat, It's a pity, because it's already late at night, in order not to startle the snake, we decided to invite you to a banquet today to find out the whereabouts of this Snitch."

Duan Yishuang didn't respond.

But Xue Lanling answered, his tone was slow, and he said with a smile: "Master Lu, please be more at ease, since you have already stated your purpose, I think everyone here is willing to bother about the Eight Great Sects, and those two burglars, how can they hide?" Where are you going?"

After the lingering and ambiguous passage was finished, the morning sun was already hanging high in the sky.

The lamps and candles flickering in the painting boat cast a shadow on that beautiful face.

Lin Tianxin's head shook suddenly.

He felt it, and he encountered the killing intent that made him shudder again.

The author says:

Currently there are eight sects:

Tianwenzhai, Lianhuan Pavilion, Zhanyue Palace.

Eight sects settings: not real sects, similar to various organizations, but also have unified martial arts, weapons and even clothing.
