Chapter 32 Hesitation
When Lin Bai came to the county government office, he saw a bald man from afar.
The bald man also straightened his neck and looked this way.
"Brother Zhuanlun!" Niu Er quickly stepped forward, unloaded Lin Bai's medicine box, and carried it on his back.
"..." Lin Bai couldn't stand this title, but he still spoke, knowingly asking: "Brother Niu, it's already night, what on earth do you want me to do?"
"We don't know either!" Niu Er's face dropped. He probably really didn't know. He just led the way, "Come with me, I've arranged a place for you."
"Brother Niu, please." Lin Bai handed over his hand.
"You don't dare to call me Brother Niu anymore." Niu Er walked with a flattering smile and said: "In the future, please kindly say a few words in front of Madam."
"That's natural." Lin Bai naturally agreed, saying in his heart that I haven't cared about you calling me vain in front of Sister Ren.
After entering the county government office and turning to the entrance of the backyard, Niu Er asked Lin Bai to go in by himself.
Pei Ning was sitting in the pavilion, surrounded by six swordsmen in gray, who seemed to be arranging something.
Ren Qiaoyun was waiting next to her. Although she was dressed luxuriously, she looked like an old lady waiting by her side.
Lin Bai couldn't move on his legs. Over there, Ren Qiaoyun saw Lin Bai arriving and hurried over.
"Come with me." Ren Qiaoyun's expression was solemn, as if he was a different person, and he led Lin Bai to a room.
After closing the door, Ren Qiaoyun smiled, unable to conceal his spring mood.
Lin Bai put down the medicine box, his heart pounding.
"You can rest here tonight until someone calls you before you go out." Ren Qiaoyun warned.
"Yes. If it weren't for my sister's advice, I wouldn't know what to do." Lin Bai cupped his hands and asked, "Why don't you see the county magistrate?"
The county magistrate was not seen during the day's activities, nor was he seen when he first arrived. He seemed to have disappeared.
"What? What do you want to say to me, are you afraid that he will listen?" Ren Qiaoyun smiled sweetly.
Lin Bai had a severe headache. His original intention was to find out the news, but when he encountered someone who was unreasonable, there was nothing he could do.
"Look, you're scared." Seeing that Lin Bai remained silent, Ren Qiaoyun thought that Lin Bai was really frightened. She sat down and said, "It was Jiang who injured him and left him to recover in the garden."
< br>
She didn't look sad, but rather proud, as if it was something worthy of pride for a man to fight for her.
"That's it." Lin Bai nodded and asked: "Senior Brother Jiang left and didn't care about anything?"
"Then who knows?" Ren Qiaoyun obviously didn't want to talk more about this. She squeezed Lin Bai's arm, and then walked around Lin Bai's body with her index and middle fingers like a little person.
This woman is nearly thirty years old, and her charm is really irresistible.
"Sister, don't worry, there will be many opportunities in the future." Lin Bai took her wrist.
"You can control it better, much better than the man named Jiang."
After saying that, she turned around, opened the door, and smiled again, "Then I'll leave first. Just rest here and don't go out if you have nothing to do." Then she closed the door.
After a while, a maid brought wine and food, specifically saying that it was Ren Qiaoyun's order.
Take it as it comes, Lin Bai didn't show any pretense, he just sat down and ate.
After finishing his meal, Lin Bai did not go into the stone plate to practice his internal skills, but silently listened to what was going on outside.
When I saw Zi Shizhong, there was sudden movement outside.
There was the sound of feet stepping on broken tiles, and a lot of people came.
Although Lin Bai didn't see anyone, he had a rough assessment: Most of the people who came were of third-rate standards, and even if there were many people, they were all given away.
After a while, flames burst into the sky outside.
Lin Bai guessed that this was probably the intention of the intruder to cause panic.
Sure enough, soon there was the sound of swords clashing.
Lin Bai took this opportunity to quickly open the door and shouted: "You're gone! Let's go... eh?"
I saw a man standing at the door outside, wearing black clothes, holding a sword, standing upright, with his back to him.
It was Peining. "I didn't hear when she came..." Lin Bai was more optimistic about Pei Ning's strength.
At this time, the courtyard was full of corpses. The six gray swordsmen seemed to have formed some kind of formation. Whenever an assassin came forward, they were easily strangled.
A group of assassins killed for a while, left a few corpses behind, and fled in all directions.
The six gray-clothed swordsmen did not pursue him, but instead only surrounded one black-clothed man.
Lin Bai estimated that this person should be the leader.
"Pei Ning! Why bother pushing each other so hard?" The man in black had an old voice and was very tall. The sword in his hand was flawless and his breath was not weak. The six swordsmen in gray could not do anything to him for a moment.
"These men in gray are much worse than Jiang Rong. After all, Jiang Rong has a walking status. This old man should be second-rate or above, and he is definitely a master in Huaxi County."
Lin Bai watched silently, secretly comparing and confirming.
"We have retreated. Could it be that your Excellency forces me to fight to the death? Just let me go back. I won't cause trouble for you again!" the old man continued.
"It's too late!" Peining had already pulled out the sword in his hand and flew up.
Lin Bai looked carefully and saw Pei Ning rushing out like mist, but the sword was extremely powerful.
In just a blink of an eye, the long knife in the old man's hand was broken into pieces, and a blood hole appeared in his neck, and blood spurted out.
"This is the Sword Art of Transparency! Taking the meaning of transparency, you can spot the flaw and move the sword forward... Although the sword moves are slightly different, the sword power is exactly the same as the blow Jiang Ronglin made before his death... But when it comes to power, Pei Ning is far superior. Jiang Rong.”
When Lin Bai saw such swordsmanship, he felt envious in his heart. He secretly thought that if he cultivated the Wuji Kung Fu to the fifth level and tried the Transparent Sword Technique from time to time, he should be able to achieve the power of this sword.
"I asked you to come here, but I forgot to leave someone alive." Pei Ning sheathed her sword and glanced at Lin Bai, "Let them clean up on the way." The intention of seeing off the guests was obvious.
Lin Bai cupped his hands, picked up the medicine box, and left in a hurry.
From the backyard to the front hall of the county government office, the police were already waiting.
"Lin Zhuanlun, what happened inside? We don't dare to enter without your order!" All the detectives asked at once.
We did a raid on Li's house today, and all the detectives were rewarded, so they were very eager.
"Let you go wash the floor." Lin Bai said honestly and walked back home.
It was almost midnight and the weather was getting cooler. A group of crows circled, as if they smelled blood.
Lin Bai thought about Pei Ning's sword for a long time, and then came to the door of Sister Zhen's house.
"What to do when you get to her house..."
Do it or not?
After knocking on the door and turning on the light, Mu Zhen came out and opened the door.
She didn't speak, and Lin Bai didn't speak either. The two seemed to have a tacit understanding.
Entering the room, it was natural.
afterwards.
Mu Zhen lay on her side, resting her cheek on one hand, staring at Lin Bai non-stop.
Lin Bai took back his hand and did not dare to say a word.
"How long does it take you to eat a bun?" Mu Zhen asked suddenly.
"If you don't find it annoying, I can always..."
Before Lin Bai finished speaking, he knew he had made a mistake.
It's just that Lin Bai didn't understand the deep meaning of these words.
"I eat quickly. I only eat one every three or five breaths." Lin Bai said honestly.
"No matter where you are, it's so fast?" Mu Zhen asked again.
Lin Bai immediately realized that she was talking about the stone plate...
"You hesitated." Mu Zhen smiled with trembling flowers. She was happier than Xiuxiu when she picked up ten taels of silver, and she was not the same as before.
