Chapter 156 Strange Old Man
Lin Ye's good mood these days was completely ruined by Jiang Xun. It would have been better if he hadn't met him.
With completely passive will, Lin Ye accompanied Jiang Xun, who looked very happy anyway, and rode for most of the day, arriving at Wushan County just after noon.
Along the way, Lin Ye had been secretly observing Jiang Xun, hoping to come to a very good conclusion. This guy was a woman disguised as a man!
Then everything is explained.
But no matter how Lin Ye looked at it, it didn't look like it. On the contrary, Jiang Xun almost caught him peeking several times... Maybe he had already discovered it. Why did he feel that he was becoming more and more perverted...
“Compared to the last time I came here, it’s much more deserted.”
The two people were holding horses and walking in Wushan County. There were at least two out of ten street shops on the roadside. The pedestrians on the road were also sparse, most of them walking quickly. Only a few young people seemed to be indifferent.
"Are you familiar with this place?"
Jiang Xun nodded: "This is the main road to the Western Regions. Our Tianxia Palace's property in Wushan County can turn over nearly 50,000 taels of pure silver to the palace every year. However, in the past six months, profits have gradually declined.
For example, last month there were less than 20,000 taels, so the palace issued this task, even setting it at level B."
Lin Ye noticed that Jiang Xun claimed to be Tianxiadian, not Qingcheng Sect. As far as Lin Ye knew, almost all the Qingcheng Sect's properties were controlled by Tianxiadian. It seemed that the Qingcheng Sect was divided internally.
It’s pretty awesome too.
Jiang Xun did not go directly to the headquarters of the Qingcheng Sect in Wushan. Instead, he walked around the main streets of Wushan County. Finally, Jiang Xun noticed a vegetable market that might have just been abandoned. There were actually people gathering in this vegetable market.
Many hooligans were drinking, gambling, and shouting, looking very unhappy.
Lin Ye was a little surprised. The gangsters and beggars in this place were much better than those in Xingping Town. Anyone who dared to do this in broad daylight would be locked up by the government.
Jiang Xun frowned: "It shouldn't be. Why doesn't the government care about them? Are they still afraid of them?"
"What, do you want to go in and take a look?"
Jiang Xun shook his head and said: "It's better not to go in and scare the snakes yet. If there are really just these little hooligans, even if the government doesn't take action, my Qingcheng faction here can handle them enough. Let's go back to the garrison and take a look first."
The two of them had just turned around the street of the vegetable market when a stench hit their nostrils. Jiang Xun quickly frowned and covered his nose. After all, Lin Ye had been hanging around at the bottom for many years and didn't realize it was so big. Turning around, the stench came from the place where it came.
He was a bad old man who looked like a beggar, and he was holding his back very hard. He was pushing a dung cart on the road, and pedestrians on the roadside were trying to avoid him.
Seeing this old man, Lin Ye suddenly fell silent. When he was in Xingping Town, in order to get enough money for him to go to private school, Old Lin did this kind of thing every day...
"Hey, you old man can't keep your eyes open. If you push this thing around here, are you looking for death?"
After all, this place is only one block away from the "vegetable market", and there are many hooligans wandering around. At this time, only two hooligans walked up to the old man and kicked him to the ground.
The old man just collapsed on the ground in silence and said nothing.
"asshole!"
Lin Ye's expression immediately changed. He rushed in front of the old man in one step, raised his hand and slapped the two hooligans until their eyes were filled with stars, and they fell to the ground with bleeding from the corners of their mouths.
"You, you are looking for death! Just wait, if you can, just stay here and don't run away!!" The two hooligans glared at Lin Ye and walked lamely towards the vegetable market.
Lin Ye ignored them and walked directly to the old man. He took off his coat and put it on the old man's thin body: "Are you okay, old man?"
The old man just looked at him coldly, without any expression, and nodded.
"Old man, even if you don't say thank you, you don't have to be so cold." Jiang Xun also came over, but the old man didn't even look at him, which made Jiang Xun speechless for a while. It seemed that he had saved a white-eyed wolf.
Lin Ye didn't care. He gently helped the old man up, and personally lowered himself to wipe the dust off the old man's body, just like... he did to Old Man Lin.
Lin Ye's face darkened, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly secretly stuffed a hundred taels of silver note into the old man's pocket.
"That's him! Boss, that guy is the one who beat me!!"
At this time, the two hooligans who were beaten summoned a group of young hooligans, and they crowded the street. By visual inspection, there must be more than a hundred people.
Lin Ye stood up silently and looked at the hundreds of hooligans approaching. The man in front of him was a shirtless young man with many stab wounds on his body. This was a symbol of honor among the hooligans.
"It's you-"
Before the gangster could speak, Lin Ye suddenly arrived in front of the young man and punched him into the crowd. The bones in his face were somewhat deformed.
The surroundings fell into a dead silence, and no one knew who suddenly said angrily: "Kill him!"
"superior!"
Lin Ye looked coldly at the hundreds of people who were attacking him, and immediately started to rush in!
"This is really a complete shock." Jiang Xun shook his head helplessly, and just stood in the distance, watching Lin Ye rush into the crowd, almost destroying one person's rhythm with one move, and the number 100
No one could hurt Lin Ye at all. After all, they were just ordinary people.
After leading Lin Ye to kill five or six people one after another, the hundred people no longer had the same momentum as before, and they scattered and fled.
Lin Ye walked up to the leading young man and stepped on his leg, almost deforming it. The severe pain made the young man wake up: "It hurts, it hurts!!"
Lin Ye grabbed his neck directly and said in a cold voice: "Go back and tell your people, whoever dares to pester that old man, no matter where he escapes, anywhere in the world, heaven and earth, I will kill him! Remember!"
"Remember, remember!!"
"roll!"
"Yes, yes!"
The young man stood up awkwardly, limping and ran away into the distance.
"Hey, Brother Zhao, even if you do this, it seems that that person won't appreciate your kindness." Taking advantage of this moment, the old man had already pushed his dung cart again and walked a long distance.
.
That lonely figure looks so much like Old Man Lin.
Lin Ye lowered his head in silence, and the corners of his eyes suddenly became moist for some reason: "As long as he lives a good life in the future."
"Senior Brother Zhao, you are really a good person..." This sentence of "good person" may be what Jiang Xun really means.
Suddenly, the old man stopped and without turning around, he just asked in a hoarse voice: "What's your name?"
Lin Ye was stunned for a moment. The old man seemed to be talking to him: "Zhao Nan."
The old man nodded, said nothing more, and continued to push the dung cart away.
