C283 Jiangnan Forest House

Duan Tianya didn't say anything. After a while, he turned around and left. Zhang Gui murmured, "It is hard to be loyal to both sides. If you lose one, you won't have the face to stay alive. " He took out the sword in his hand and was about to commit suicide.

Duan Tianya turned his head and said, "If you die, I will bring your corpse back to Eighteen Gangs. I have no time for that. "

Zhang Gui was startled. Duan Tianya's words were very obvious. Duan Tianya had already forgiven him. Zhang Gui was touched. He knelt down on the ground and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Duan. "

Duan Tianya smiled faintly and turned around to ask. "Now that Tao Yewang is dead, there is no need for you to repay your kindness. If you want to do so, you can only seek revenge from me. "

Zhang Gui hurriedly said: "I have already repaid my kindness. The news of the Lu family's blacksmith shop was exchanged by me. The real news is going to the Lin family in Jiangnan. "

"Lin Buqun?"

Zhang Gui nodded and said: "That's right. When the news was exchanged, the debt between me and Tao Yewang has been settled, but it has brought a lot of trouble to Duan. "

Duan Tianya waved his hand and said, "In fact, you have helped me a lot. "

Zhang Gui was puzzled and asked, "Why did you help me so much?"

Duan Tianya said, "Loo Dahai let me know many people's names. "

Zhang Gui nodded half-heartedly, then suddenly said, Loo Dahai told me a lot of people's names. " Does Duan know what kind of help Yaen Shunba found this time?"

"Helper?" Duan Tianya asked, puzzled, "Not the monk from Cangloong Temple?"

Zhang Gui shook his head. "I heard from Tao Yewang that it was a disguise. "

"A disguise!" When Duan Tianya heard this name, he couldn't help but frown. It wasn't because of how outstanding the art of disguise was, but because this person was known to be two of the best. One of them was that the painting was vivid and lifelike, and the other was a disguise technique. His disguise technique was hard to distinguish between male and female, and it was hard to distinguish between the old and the young. He could be said to be an expert in this world.

The art of disguise was eccentric, and it was very difficult for ordinary people to find him. Even if they did find him, it would be very difficult to invite him. Duan Tianya was indeed somewhat puzzled as to how Yaen Shunba persuaded him to recruit such a person. However, even though he was puzzled, with the help of the art of disguise, it would be even more difficult to capture Yaen Shunba.

The disguise technique, including Yaen Shunba's intelligence, was a little tricky to deal with.

It was unavoidable to travel to the Lin Prefecture in Jiangnan. Duan Tianya brought Xue Kang and the others and rode on a fast horse to Jiangnan overnight.

The Lin Prefecture was located at the busiest place along the Jiangnan canal. It was filled with people, and every year, the lanterns were famous.

After passing through the bustling streets, the aroma of wine and meat on both sides of the street could make people drool. Cold tea stalls could be seen everywhere, but every family's business was so good.

At the end of the fourth street, a large courtyard house appeared before their eyes. The door of a building that was more than 20 feet tall, the plaque with the words' Lin Residence 'hung high on the door. The high walls of the bluestone bricks were lined with red tiles. The vermillion iron door faced the fan, and the golden door ring. A pair of auspicious couplets were pasted on the red-painted wooden pillar, and a burly man stood in front of each of the four stone lions.

Duan Tianya sized up the Lin Estate from top to bottom. When he saw that more and more people were gathering outside the Lin Estate, he was very puzzled, especially since most of these people were beggars and poor people.

Not long after, the gate of the mansion opened, and a group of people walked out from the mansion. They came to the right side of the mansion, and without saying anything, they set up the stove and started to cook the rice and porridge.

In less than an hour, a person who looked like a housekeeper knocked on the edge of the pot and shouted: "It's time to eat!"

A group of people flocked over, but in the blink of an eye, everything was in order, as if they were already used to it.

After another two hours, everyone dispersed, and the people from the Lin Residence also returned. At this time, a person walked out from the estate. He was in his fifties, eight feet tall, and had three strands of beard. His eyes were like bright stars, and his face was like purple jade. He had a dignified appearance. Lee Jingyun couldn't help but ask, "He is Lin Buqun?"

Duan Tianya said, "He is not Lin Buqun. "

Lee Jingyun was puzzled and asked, "Then who is he?"

"He is Qin Huo from the Thunderbolt Sword!"

"Qin Huo? Why is he here?" The series of questions made Duan Tianya smile bitterly. He replied, "Maybe he is waiting for us. "

Qin Huo took a step forward and approached Duan Tianya. He cupped his fists and said. "I think you are Duan Tianya?" It seemed like Qin Huo really came for Duan Tianya.

Duan Tianya returned the salute and said, "Could it be that Qin Huo, the Thunderbolt Sword whose name shook the four provinces of Jiangnan, is also a friend of Yaen Shunba?

Qin Huo said with a smile. "Sort of! Not really!"

"Oh?"

Qin Huo explained, "We are all seniors of Yaen Shunba, not friends. "

"Seniors?" Duan Tianya finally understood that Qin Huo was a friend of the abbot of Cangloong Temple. In terms of seniority, Yaen Shunba was a junior. He smiled and said, "This time, the Lin Prefecture will not only invite you, the Thunderbolt Sword, alone, right?"

Qin Huo laughed and said, "Duan can be at ease. With your martial arts and sword skills, you can be at ease. I am afraid that even ten Thunderbolt Swords will not be a match for you. " What he said was true, but it was also not completely true. Qin Huo's sword technique is very famous in Jiangnan, but it has not been seen for a long time. Qin Huo himself was not a person who provoked trouble. He could get involved. It seemed like he still agreed with the saying, It's hard to repay a debt of gratitude.

At this moment, Duan Tianya smelled a strong meat fragrance and could not help but praise, "So fragrant!"

Qin Huo said, "That's the smell of meat from the Lin family. "

"Do you have good wine?"

Qin Huo laughed and said, "I wonder if the thirty year old daughter's red wine is suitable for her?"

Duan Tianya said, "It is suitable for her, very suitable for her!"

When they walked into the Lin Residence, the smell of meat became stronger. Coupled with the sound of the guzheng, it had the unruliness of the children in the martial arts world, as well as the elegance of the scholars and the guests.

When he came to the courtyard, he realized that it was some beef and mutton cooked in the copper cauldron. The meat soup rolled and the fragrance assailed his nostrils.

On the other hand, everything had already been prepared by the side. The delicacies of the mountains and seas and the famous wines of various clans had already been arranged.

Everyone thought that the master of the Lin Prefecture, Lin Buqun, would be an extraordinary person. However, when they saw him, they were somewhat surprised.

Lin Buqun was short and thin, old and ugly. With a few tufts of goatee and a face full of wrinkles, it made people lose interest in the smell of meat. However, the bald monk behind him attracted a lot of attention. He was dressed like a monk. The ring scar on his head was clearly visible, and the beads on his chest were black and shiny. He had thought that he would be a ferocious lord, but he had never thought that he would be a gentle middle-aged man. If he saw that the staff in his hand did not recognize him, then he would be a fool.

He was on par with Fiend Monk. His Dharma name was Fa Yuan, and he was nicknamed Little Dharma.

Duan Tianya did not stand on ceremony. He pulled up a chair and sat down. He used the short knife on the table to pick out a large piece of meat and began to eat heartily.

Xue Kang and the others couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.

When they were full, Duan Tianya opened his mouth and asked, "What method does the Lin Family plan to use to keep me here this time?"

He didn't expect Lin Buqun to smile instead. "This time, it's not us who want to keep you, but him!" After saying that, he pointed with his finger and saw the window of a building open. A person stuck out from the window. When Duan Tianya saw this person, he couldn't help but laugh.
