Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

"Brother, you are not planning to stay here?"

Song Qian frowned and said, "The weather here is a bit hot, I don't like it. Why don't we just go and get rid of Yu Canghai? Why do we have to wait for him here?"

"I'm not waiting for Yu Canghai!"

"Ah? Then who are you waiting for?"

Song Qian stared at him strangely. "No wonder you knew there was a sword manual in the Lin family's old house. Do you have any acquaintances here? Or perhaps, a lover?"

Song Xuan was too lazy to respond and said, "I'm waiting for Lin Zhennan!"

"Waiting for him for what?"

Victoria Song had a neutral feeling about Lin Zhennan and didn't have much affection for him. "He's too indecisive. He had a lot of good cards in his hand, but he turned it into a dead end.

If we hadn't come to help out of nostalgia, Xiao Linzi's family would have been in the coffin by now."

Song Xuan smiled and said, "People, after going through life and death ordeals, will always grow.

Lin Zhennan was able to run an escort agency throughout Mingzhou. Although his martial arts skills are not as good as others, his abilities are still not bad. If he were more decisive, he would be a useful person. "

"You want to use him?"

Song Qian narrowed her brows slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, the Lin family is also very wealthy. They have money and people, and the escort agencies spread all over the country are also ready-made intelligence agencies.

No wonder, no wonder you agreed without hesitation after receiving Xiao Linzi's letter for help.

I thought you, Young Master Song, were a chivalrous and righteous man, but I never expected that Mr. Song, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually covet other people's property. He is truly shrewd and calculating. "

Song Xuan rolled his eyes at her and said, "You are so noble, so great. But don't spend a penny of the money I get from the Lin family!"

"That won't do!"

Song Qian laughed and said, "Brother, what I said just now was wrong. You are not shrewd and calculating, you are foresighted and strategizing... The living conditions in our Qianhu Suo Yamen are too poor. I want to change to a manor.

I'm not picky, I just want a house like my little cousin's with a back garden."

Song Xuan was speechless. "Then you should choose again. If that kind of house doesn't meet a certain grade, you won't be able to buy it even if you have money."

dong dong dong~~

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Uncle, have you rested?"

Lin Zhennan's voice came from outside the door.

Song Xuan signaled Song Qian to be quiet and said, "Not yet, Chief Escort Lin, please come in."

Lin Zhennan pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw Victoria Song, he quickly bowed and said, "Second Aunt is here too."

Song Xuan shook his head slightly and smiled, "Alright, there are no outsiders here, no need to pretend. I mean, Chief Escort Lin should understand what I mean, right?"

"I understand!" Lin Zhennan said hurriedly, "I know that you two young men have special identities and need a suitable reason to participate in the Lin family's affairs. Don't worry, I will definitely not let anyone know."

Song Xuan nodded slightly. As a large chain escort agency, Lin Zhennan's personality might have some flaws, but he was able to make the escort agency the top in the industry, so there was no doubt about his intelligence.

"Captain Lin is a smart man. Why do you come to me so late at night? Is there something important you want to discuss?"

Lin Zhennan pondered for a moment and said, "Young man, Yu Canghai may arrive in Fuzhou County tonight. Do you think we should wait for him here or pack up and leave overnight?"

Song Xuan didn't say anything and glanced at Song Qian.

Song Qian understood and sneered, "He's just Yu Canghai. His so-called Heart-Destroying Palm can only scare low-ranking characters. Forget about my brother. I can crush him to death with one hand!"

She was not bragging. The family-inherited Xuanbing Jin that she majored in was considered to be of a very high level among the innate martial arts. Yu Canghai's palm technique, which was specifically used to freeze people's meridians and destroy their hearts, was a joke in Song Qian's eyes and was just restrained by her.

Hearing this, Lin Zhennan's heart was calmed. He looked at Song Xuan with a look of surprise and expectation, and his voice began to tremble, "Young Master Song, could it be, could it be?"

"That's right, my brother is an innate warrior!"

She said proudly: "Yu Canghai is not worthy of my brother coming here in person, but Xiao Linzi is a good person, so in order to prevent any accidents, my brother still came here in person.

Chief Escort Lin, are you touched by this friendship?"

Victoria Song almost asked directly, "Are you touched? If you are, why don't you show some sincerity?"

Lin Zhennan was a smart man, so he naturally understood the meaning of Song Qian's words. He took a deep breath and bowed from a distance.

"How could our Lin family be so worthy of such a great master as Young Master Lin to personally come forward to rescue us?

If you don't mind, my Lin family is willing to respect you as the leader and follow your lead in the future!

The Lin family has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. If you don't want to give it up, I am willing to give it all to you. I don't ask for anything else, I just ask that you give Pingzhi a chance to stay by your side and repay your kindness."

Song Xuan, who had not shown any special reaction since Lin Zhennan entered the room, finally had a slightly changed expression.

"Captain Lin, are you planning to abandon your family business just to find a future for your son?"

Lin Zhennan nodded heavily, "Indeed, I hope you will give me a chance."

Song Xuan smiled and said, "I know that Chief Escort Lin has a lot of wealth, but I don't care about money. Money is like clouds to me."

Lin Zhennan's face froze. "So, young man, what do you mean?"

"The Fuwei Escort Agency will continue to be run the same way it was before, and you will still be in charge. I only ask for one thing."

Lin Zhennan breathed a sigh of relief. Although Song Xuan said that he didn't care about money, his words clearly meant that he accepted his allegiance.

"Master, please speak!" Lin Zhennan changed the address very skillfully.

"In addition to normal operations, the Fuwei Escort Agency will have an additional mission in the future, which is to collect various valuable intelligence from various locations."

Lin Zhennan hurriedly asked, "Master, what kind of information is valuable?"

"Everyone from the officialdom and the underworld needs to be collected!"

"My subordinate understands!"

Song Xuan nodded slowly, "If nothing unexpected happens, Yu Canghai should be here tonight. After we deal with him, we two brothers and sisters will return to Yangzhou County.

When you have time, move the headquarters of the escort agency to Yangzhou.

Being closer, I can help if anything happens to the Lin family!"

"Everything is subject to the master's arrangements!" Lin Zhennan was overjoyed. This was the sentence he had been waiting for. With the promise of Song Xuan, a congenital master, the safety of the Lin family in Yangzhou would be guaranteed.

"By the way, my Lord, what do you think about Pingzhi's matter?"

He wanted Lin Pingzhi to stay with Song Xuan. If he could get a position in the Xuanyi Guard, he would be able to rest in peace even if he died in the future.

"There's no rush for this!"

Song Xuan waved his hand. "Lin Pingzhi isn't young anymore. I think you'd better let him get married and have children first. Your Lin family seems to be lacking in descendants!"

Chapter 63 Madam, I Want to Castrate Myself

"My Lord is right. My Lin family does not have many descendants. After this disaster, I will arrange a marriage for Pingzhi."

Song Xuan nodded and smiled, "In that case, you can go back and rest. There may be some noise tonight, but it shouldn't be a big deal."

The host ordered him to leave, so Lin Zhennan hurriedly got up and said goodbye. As soon as he left the room and entered the yard, Victoria Song caught up with him.

"Miss, do you have any other instructions?" Lin Zhennan said respectfully.

Not to mention that Song Qian is the master's biological sister. Even if we put aside their identities, the other party's attitude of not caring about Yu Canghai alone makes him dare not neglect her at all.

"My brother is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty, so there are some things he doesn't care about. But even if he doesn't mind, there are some things I need to make clear to Chief Escort Lin in advance."

"Please speak, Miss."

Song Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Tonight, it was Chief Escort Lin who offered his property to join my brother. Did my brother ever force you?"

"No, the Lord is merciful and has never forced us in the slightest."

Song Qian nodded in satisfaction and said, "In that case, this is your own choice. If I discover any betrayal in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Lin Zhennan lowered his body a little, "Don't worry, Miss. Although I, Lin Zhennan, am not a hero, I am not ungrateful. If I really betray the master in the future, my Lin family will be wiped out!"

Song Qian's expression eased slightly, and she smiled, "In that case, you can go back and rest in peace. After tonight, the feud between the Lin family and the Qingcheng Sect will be resolved!"

After she finished speaking, Song Qian's body flashed and disappeared into the night like a shadow. Her strange movements made Lin Zhennan feel a chill in his heart.

With such elusive movements, if he were to kill someone, the person probably wouldn’t even know how they died!

When he returned to the room, Lin Pingzhi came to greet him.

"Father, has Brother Song agreed?"

Lin Zhennan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Your elder brother Song is a good man and quite easy to talk to. My Lin family will recognize him as the master from now on.

From now on, we will still manage the Lin family's business ourselves, but we will secretly collect some intelligence from the underworld and official circles for him, and he will protect the safety of our Lin family.

After tonight, we will start packing up our belongings and move the escort agency headquarters to Yangzhou City."

Lin Pingzhi was overjoyed when he heard this. "Dad, did Brother Lin say anything else?"

"That's all... Oh, by the way, he also said that my Lin family doesn't have many offspring, so he asked me to arrange a marriage for you as soon as possible. It seems that our master is a person who likes to worry."

Lin Pingzhi smiled, "Brother Song really likes to care about others, and he often asks some interesting questions.

For example, tonight, he asked me if I was willing to learn a secret manual that could quickly make me a martial arts master, but it required me to castrate myself before practicing.

"Oh?"

Lin Zhennan's hand, which was holding the teacup to drink tea, trembled slightly. "How did you answer?"

“I was reluctant at first.

But then Brother Lin asked me, if he couldn't arrive in time tonight, and the Qingcheng Sect killed my entire family, and I was the only one who survived, would I still be willing to practice that peerless secret manual?

"What did you say?" Lin Zhennan's expression began to change.

Lin Pingzhi's face darkened. "When I think of my parents dying at Yu Canghai's hands, I feel incredibly distressed. As long as I can get revenge, I wouldn't mind castrating myself, even if it meant taking my own life."

Lin Zhennan remained silent for a moment, then said, "It's getting late, you should go back and get some rest. I suspect the second half of the night might not be very peaceful, so you should be careful."

"Then I'll take my leave now!"

After Lin Pingzhi bowed and left, Lin Zhennan sat on the chair, rubbing his eyebrows and thinking. Mrs. Lin couldn't help but feel nervous when she saw this.

"Husband, that secret manual that Pingzhi mentioned that requires castration, isn't it true?"

Lin Zhennan hesitated for a moment and said, "The Jianghu is so vast that all kinds of secret manuals might exist. Since the lord specifically asked this question, it's probably not without purpose."

Mrs. Lin was shocked. "So, is he testing Pingzhi, or does he think Pingzhi has the potential to practice that secret book?"

"Hard to say."

Lin Zhennan tapped his fingers on the chair. "Given the master's cultivation and his background in the imperial capital, it's not impossible for him to have this strange secret manual."

Mrs. Lin was shocked. "That Ping'er..."

Lin Zhennan waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about Pingzhi. If the lord really wants to plot against him, he can just not come tonight. After the Qingcheng Sect kills us, he can rescue Pingzhi and give him the secret book.

However, judging from the fact that the Lord is concerned about the issue of heirs for our Lin family, Pingzhi may be one of the candidates that the Lord favors..."

After taking a deep breath, Lin Zhennan's face was conflicted for a moment, and then he said in a deep voice: "I am old, and Ping'er is still young. There are some sins that he doesn't need to bear."

"Madam, if one day I am no longer a complete man, will you look down on me in your heart?"

Mrs. Lin smiled gently, walked up to him, leaned her face against his chest, and murmured, "In my heart, no matter what you become, you are always my hero and the pillar of my and Ping'er's life.

But, I’m sorry for wronging you!”

Lin Zhennan smiled brightly, "What's wrong with this? For the sake of peace, even if it costs me my life, what's the harm?"

"Besides, these are just our guesses. Maybe the Lord is just asking casually and has no intention of passing the secret manual on to others?"

.....

The residence where Song Xuan rested.

Victoria Song wiped the sword in her hand and said with a smile: "I just went to eavesdrop."

Song Xuan stopped practicing his internal energy and opened his eyes. "What did you hear?"

"Lin Zhennan is quite intelligent. He actually guessed your intention to have Lin Pingzhi practice the Sword Manual of Exorcism."

"Oh?"

Song Xuan was a little surprised, "What was Lao Lin's reaction?"

Song Qian smiled and said, "Old Lin thinks that you are lacking powerful masters, so you plan to train Lin Pingzhi.

For the sake of his son, Lao Lin must have made plans to leave the palace."
