A knife in love

Chapter 418

Master Lin has been in prison for many years, and finally saw the light of day.It was inconvenient for the governor to meet him, so he sent his family members to tell him about the matter, and helped him get back the old house, and sent all the evildoers to the big prison, or punished them.Mr. Lin's family business was revived, and he got fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver as compensation from the official who became an official.The county government only said that he was the old governor of Henan, so he took care of everything. Mr. Lin was a hundred times more beautiful than before.He bought a shop and rebuilt a house, and the government made him a squire, which can be said to be extremely proud.It's just that the wife died tragically and the youngest son disappeared. Every time I think about this, I feel very sad.At this time, seeing that his son has grown up and is an outstanding talent, he is ecstatic.

After the father and son told each other the reason for their separation, Mr. Lin originally wanted Lin Yilang to stay at home and inherit the family business.However, Lin Yilang refused to give up his resignation, and he wanted to inherit the mantle of the head of the Songshan School and make a vigorous career in the martial arts.Master Lin had no choice but to let him go.Later, after Lin Yilang returned to the Songshan School, Master Lin wrote a letter and told the governor about it.At this time, the governor had returned to the capital and served as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and soon became the Minister of the Ministry of War.After receiving Master Lin's letter, he did not reply to the letter, but asked the sender to greet Master Lin on his behalf.

After Lin Yilang knew about this matter, he didn't care about it, he only said that Master Shangshu had a high position and authority, so he wouldn't take himself, a small person in Shengdou, to heart.In the Songshan School, he devoted himself to practicing martial arts and carefully served his master. He became more and more popular with his master, and finally he was promised by his master to be the next head of the Songshan School.Because of Lin Yilang's excellent martial arts, Master Lin donated another ten thousand taels of silver to buy a house and land for the Songshan faction.Although many people were dissatisfied, in the end Lin Yilang took over as the head of the Songshan School.In the following decades, under his painstaking management, the Songshan School became more and more famous. Even though it is next to the Shaolin Temple, which is the leader of the martial arts, the prestige has not been suppressed.Lin Yilang's name became more and more famous, and he became a highly respected martial arts senior in the world.

It's just that 15 years ago, a guest from the capital suddenly came to Songshan and asked to see Lin Yilang by name.Lin Yilang saw that person, and after talking with them, he realized that this person was the personal servant of the governor back then.Lin Yilang turned pale with shock, thanked him again and again, and sent capable disciples to receive him carefully.At that time, the governor had already joined the cabinet as a cabinet elder, and he also served as an errand in the Ministry of War, so he held a high position and authority.But this servant's attitude was very humble, at first he only talked about Anhui business, happened to pass by Songshan Mountain, so he came to see head Lin.It wasn't until he found an empty space that no one was there that he explained his purpose to Lin Yilang.It turned out that Master Ge heard that Lin Yilang had become the head of the Songshan School, and was very happy for him.A few days ago, the governor of Fujian received a secret report, saying that a dozen Japanese pirates had sneaked into the Central Plains to collude with the Green Forest Village under the order of the pirate leader, and planned to start an incident in Henan, so as to contain the officers and soldiers who were about to be transferred to the southeast coast and relieve the pressure on the Japanese pirates. .Master Ge hopes that Lin Yilang can send Songshan faction masters to intercept and kill these dozen Japanese pirates, find out the Green Forest Village that is colluding with Japanese pirates, and then send a large army to exterminate these bandits.After this is done, it will be of great benefit to the Songshan School.

Only then did Lin Yilang realize that this adult had never forgotten himself, and he was afraid that his every move had long been under the surveillance of the other party.After he became the head of the sect, he realized that all the major gangs in the martial arts are inextricably linked with the government, and they are backed by people in the government. The destruction of a gang means that its power has been greatly reduced and it has been reduced to a small gang that is not popular.Now that Master Ge is ordering to do things, it is a good time for the Songshan faction to expand its power.So Lin Yilang agreed, and asked the servant to tell the boss that the Songshan faction should do its best to help the court suppress Japanese pirates and rebels.

Because of this important matter, Lin Yilang decided to take people down the mountain himself.This is because the incident was kept secret, and the imperial court would reward it after the incident was completed.Lin Yilang thought that this matter must be done by his disciples. After the matter is completed, those brothers who are not convinced that he will succeed him as the master will naturally have nothing to say.So he brought [-] personal disciples down the mountain, and none of the other disciples participated in this matter, and even Lin Yilang didn't know why he suddenly left Songshan with so many confidantes.

Lin Yilang and his party went down Songshan Mountain, and they were met by people sent by Master Ge.This person is an informant among the pirates sent by the Fujian governor's yamen, and he knows the leader of the pirates who sneaked into the Central Plains.Lin Yilang took the disciples of the Songshan School and followed the man all the way eastward, and stopped the dozen or so Japanese pirates in Huangpo Village, [-] miles east of Kaifeng City.

Lin Yilang originally thought that he had excellent martial arts skills, and the twenty direct disciples he brought with him were all shrewd and capable, with excellent martial arts skills.Originally thought it would not take too much effort to kill these dozen overseas thieves.Unexpectedly, these Japanese pirates are well-trained, three people in a team, six people in a group, although the number is smaller than the Songshan faction, when it comes to fighting, each team fights more and less.In addition, the steel knives in their hands were extremely sharp. As soon as the two sides fought, the long swords in the hands of five Songshan disciples were cut off by the Japanese pirates' steel knives. Caught off guard, the five were killed instantly.

The battle was brutal.After fighting with only dozens of strokes, the heads of four disciples under Lin Yilang's sect were decapitated one after another, and the rest of the disciples were all wounded.Although Lin Yilang killed three Japanese pirates, he was also stabbed twice.The two sides fought for half a stick of incense, and [-] disciples of the Songshan School died on the spot.The remaining five disciples of the Songshan sect were also injured, and one of them was cut off, lying on the ground and screaming loudly.

Lin Yilang killed two more Japanese pirates, but he himself was hit three times in a row. His injuries were serious, and his sword moves became slower and slower. The entire army was in danger of being wiped out.At this time, Deng Yao, the leader of the Beggar Gang, suddenly appeared with a hundred gang members from the Jiangnan branch of the Beggar Gang, and helped the Songshan faction attack the Japanese pirates.Although the remaining seven Japanese pirates were exceptionally fierce, they were outnumbered. Although they killed more than a dozen members of the Beggar Gang, five Japanese pirates died at the hands of the Beggar Gang.The remaining two Japanese pirates were scarred and surrounded by beggars and could not escape.The group of beggars surrounded the two men and asked them to drop their swords and surrender.Unexpectedly, these two Japanese pirates could speak Chinese, and they cursed the beggar gang for their wishful thinking.

The members of the beggar gang wanted to kill these two people immediately.Lin Yilang remembered Master Ge's order and hurriedly stopped everyone.Afterwards, the two were asked to name the Green Forest Village that was in collusion with the Japanese pirates, and they claimed that as long as they named the Green Forest Village, their lives would not be hurt.The two Japanese pirates laughed loudly, glanced at each other, and then killed themselves.

Although the battle was won, the Songshan faction suffered heavy losses, and several of Lin Yilang's confidant disciples were all killed.He thought of the undercurrents in the Songshan School, and once he knew that several of his senior disciples had died tragically, people with different ambitions would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, so he was extremely anxious.Deng Yao, the leader of the beggar gang, came to meet Lin Yilang. He said bluntly that he was invited by the governor of Fujian to chase the dozen or so Japanese pirates all the way, and wanted to kill them.It's just that these dozen or so people are very vigilant and have never had a good chance to attack.After arriving at Huangpo Village, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Songshan faction to intercept and kill the Japanese pirates, he led the beggar gang to swarm up and get rid of these Japanese pirates.

Lin Yilang exchanged a few words with Deng Yao, and the person who led the way appeared out of nowhere, and said to Deng Yao, Mr. Ge Boss has ordered him to bring the disciples of the Beggar Clan to the Songshan Mountain and stay there for half a year. Can leave.

Only then did Lin Yilang realize that Master Ge's calculations were very accurate.Knowing that there are people in the Songshan School who are dissatisfied with Lin Yilang, once Lin Yilang's disciples suffer heavy losses, someone in the Songshan School will try to become the head of the school.Therefore, Deng Yao was asked to lead people along to suppress the hostile faction in the Songshan faction.

Then Lin Yilang took Deng Yao back to Songshan.Sure enough, Lin Yilang's two senior brothers saw that the head of Yifang killed fifteen disciples for some unknown reason, and the remaining five were almost useless. It was indeed a great opportunity to get rid of Lin Yilang.Therefore, the two led their disciples to join forces to usurp the position of the master.With the help of the beggar gang, Lin Yilang captured the rebellious disciples in one fell swoop. Except for the two chief villains who abolished their martial arts and expelled them from the Songshan School, he didn't pursue the other disciples deeply, but brought them into Lin Yilang's sect instead.The martial arts of these two senior brothers were originally at the forefront in the Songshan School, and all the disciples under the sect are also highly skilled in martial arts.These four or fifty people transferred to Lin Yilang's sect, and the power of the head of Yifang not only did not weaken, but increased.Seeing the resurgence of Lin Yilang's line of power, the other houses expressed their submission one after another, where they dared to disagree.

Seeing that Lin Yilang's position in the Songshan Sect had been stabilized, Deng Yao bid farewell to Lin Yilang and led the disciples of the Beggar Clan back south.After this battle, Lin Yilang and Deng Yao became friends and vowed to support each other in the arena.It's just that this is an extremely confidential matter of the Songshan Sect and the Beggars' Clan, and none of the other gangs in Jianghu know about it.This time the two reunited at Hutouyan. Seeing that Deng Yao and Situ Qiao were at odds, Lin Yilang naturally wanted to help Deng Yao speak.

At this time, Lin Yilang saw that Situ Qiao was still arrogant, and was about to say more.But Liu Yong stopped him and tried to persuade him again.Lin Yilang reluctantly kept his mouth shut, but just gave Situ Qiao a bitter look.

Situ Qiao saw that Lin Yilang stopped talking, and he had the upper hand, he immediately laughed, with his hands behind his back, he walked in front of the crowd, and looked carefully at the golden lacquered dragon throne in the middle of the hall.The throne is resplendent and magnificent, and the armrests are inlaid with countless pearls, jade and precious stones, shining golden in the candlelight.Situ Qiao took a few steps forward, but he didn't get close to the throne. Instead, he kept circling around the throne at a distance of more than ten feet.

Murong Danyan whispered to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, look at this Situ Qiao pretending to be a ghost, what exactly is he trying to do?"

Li Qiufeng glanced at Situ Qiao, and said in a low voice: "This man has a lot of ambition, but his ability is limited, so he can't accomplish great things. But villains are hard to guard against. We must not be negligent and take advantage of him. If Li guessed Well done, on the one hand, he wanted to take advantage of this matter to establish his prestige in front of all the seniors in the world. On the other hand, it was because he was extremely obsessed with the art of traps. Seeing the traps set up by such a peerless master like Yao Guangxiao, how could he not be surprised? The reason for being ecstatic?"

Li Qiufeng finished speaking, but Situ Qiao laughed and said, "It turns out that the organ set up by Yao Guangxiao is nothing special!"

After he finished speaking, he quickly walked a few steps to the right, and stood a foot away from the left front of the golden lacquered and carved dragon throne, squatting down and carefully observing the square bricks on the ground.Liu Yong and the others didn't know what he had discovered, and when they were about to speak, Situ Qiao turned around and said to Liu Yong: "Mr. Liu, please lightly tap the square brick three feet in front of you with your sword. Is there anything weird about it?"

Liu Yong drew out his sword as he said, and slowly took two steps forward.At this time, he was standing at exactly the place where Situ Qiao was circling around the golden lacquered and carved dragon throne just now, about a foot away from the throne.Seeing that Liu Yong had reached the edge of his detour, Situ Qiao hurriedly said loudly: "Mr. Liu, don't go any further, just stand there!"
