Lin Jinxiao drove a carriage to the shop in the east of the city and found that the house was completely dark, not even a ghost could be seen, and Chu Nanzhi was not seen on the way here.
The suspicion in his heart became stronger. After all, this woman didn't take him to heart.
I'm afraid what she said today was just casual.
If she really cared about herself, even if she didn't go to the county office in advance, she wouldn't have arrived more than an hour in the evening.
This is not like her nature.
The quadruplets opened the car curtains and looked out the window where they couldn't see their hands, and they all fell into suspicion.
Sibaolin Ruijia didn't believe that her mother would lie to them, so she held her mouth shut and asked unwillingly: "Dad, have you already gone to the county government?"
Listening to Xiao Sibao's question, Lin Jinxiao sneered helplessly at the black night.
The little guys still believe too much and rely on this woman.
There is only one road from this shop to the county government office, and the distance is only a quarter of an hour. I have never bumped into him along the way, so how could I go to the county government office without saying a word.
Unless she and Sang Qi went home in the opposite direction to the west.
Sighing secretly, Lin Jinxiao turned to the carriage and said warmly: "It's getting late. Dad will take you back to the county office to eat something. Go to bed early. If you are still thinking about mother, I will send you off tomorrow."
go back."
Seeing that it was time to change defenses, there were fewer and fewer patrolling guards, and he did not dare to take the little treasures to stay outside.
Although he had already made some arrangements, it was inevitable that some stupid people would jump out and trap themselves at this time.
"No, no, no, dad, what should we do if grandma is also looking for us?"
Sanbao Lin Ruichong was unyielding and never felt relieved when he could not see his mother.
"Then my father will take you to find your mother."
Lin Jinxiao turned his horse around in despair, finally compromised with his last bit of fantasy, and headed straight for Chongrenfang in the west of the city.
If Chu Nanzhi has not returned to her old house, it means that she has indeed misunderstood her; but if she has already returned to her old house, then there is no need to think about anything else.
He desperately wanted an answer.
But no matter what, I still have to see her figure to feel at ease.
After all, she had saved his life several times. Based on this fact, he could not see this woman in any danger.
…
Luyan Port late at night, like all county towns, is full of loneliness and desolation.
The carriage drove slowly on the empty streets. Although Lin Jinxiao drove the horse as fast as possible through the streets, the clear sound of horse hooves still broke the tranquility of the night, making a clicking sound from time to time.
There are two short roads from the east to the west of the city, one is the main street lined with shops, and the other is a shorter road that needs to pass through narrow alleys and pass through several sparsely populated remote markets.
Arriving at the fork in the road, Lin Jinxiao looked at a few dim lanterns raised under the eaves in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose the main street to continue driving.
But the further we walked, the quieter and weirder things seemed.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the county captain's house, he suddenly reined in the horse and stopped slowly, looked around with vigilance, lowered his voice and ordered into the carriage: "Dabao, take your brothers and sisters and hide in the carriage.
Okay, don't make any sound."
Hearing the voices outside, Dabao was about to open the curtain, but Lin Jinxiao immediately ordered: "Don't move, remember what dad said."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of masked men in black slowly pouring out from both sides of the intersection on the opposite side.
Under the illumination of several dim lanterns, one could vaguely see a bright broadsword shining coldly in the dark night.
Lin Jinxiao clenched the Emperor's Sword, blew out the lanterns hanging on both sides of the carriage, and sneered coldly at the approaching man in black: "You dare to murder an imperial official within the control of the county captain's mansion. You really have the courage, so you are not afraid.
Will it lead to genocide?"
"As long as you can kill Master Lin with your own hands, what's the point of fearing even the annihilation of the entire clan?"
A cold voice sounded in the dark night: "If you miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it will be difficult to find another opportunity. Naturally, you can't miss it."
It turned out to be a dead soldier.
Lin Jinxiao's eyes trembled with sternness: "Are you so confident that you can kill me?"
"Sir, Mr. Lin is indeed an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. Unfortunately, given your current situation, you may not be able to defeat four with just one fist."
After all, I have to use a cane to walk.
The man sneered and said: "Although Mr. Lin is smart enough to choose such a Yangguan Road, don't forget that it takes a quarter of an hour to mobilize troops from the coastal defense camp and the county captain's mansion to this place. Unfortunately, the night patrol
The government soldiers will also patrol here after a quarter of an hour. It must not be difficult to bully a disabled person in a quarter of an hour, right?"
"I came prepared."
Lin Jinxiao counted with his fingers and was not in a hurry to draw his sword. He crossed his legs casually and deliberately provoked: "Why don't we make a bet? Although you are outnumbered, I think I can hold on for a while in your hands."
It only takes time for a cup of tea, and I can escape unharmed, do you believe it?"
"It's just arrogance."
The man seemed to have lost his patience and took the lead in raising his long knife and charging towards Lin Jinxiao menacingly.
For a moment, rays of cold light rushed straight towards the tempting prey.
Lin Jinxiao decisively drew his sword and surrounded the carriage to fight off the oncoming assassins.
The light figure whirled back and forth around the carriage wall, and in one round, three or five people fell under the carriage.
The blade of the sword is so sharp that no one can get close to it at all.
And what about his legs and feet?
The man in black immediately noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Has your leg disease been cured?"
"But that day in front of the county government office, I clearly saw you using a cane and having difficulty walking. How come your hands and feet recovered so quickly in just a few days?"
"I'm really sorry to disappoint you."
While Lin Jinxiao was speaking, he raised his sword and stabbed the person around him with a knife, directly breaking the tendon of that person's hand.
Accompanied by the "clang" sound of the sword hitting the ground, the screams of agony in the dark night immediately cut through the silent sky.
The leader of the man in black was so frightened that he stabbed his knife directly into the heart of the man, killing him immediately.
When he heard the sound of swords and swords clashing outside, Sanbaolin Ruichong was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat, and finally couldn't help but sob softly.
"Don't cry."
It was too late for Dabao to stop him, and the cry spread out. The leading man in black immediately noticed the movement in the carriage and shouted to everyone: "There are people in the carriage, let's besiege the carriage together."
Lin Jinxiao frowned, raised his sword, stepped forward and stabbed directly at the person who gave the order.
But before he got close, he saw several black figures running behind the carriage.
He felt anxious and immediately came back to help. Just as he was turning around, a cold light passed over his shoulders, and a biting chill hit him from behind, which refreshed his spirit.
He gripped the sword tightly and struggled to get on the carriage. Using the power of the stirrups, he turned over and swung violently towards the people who were rushing towards him.
Several "chichi" sounds of broken swords continued to sound sharply in the surroundings.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Lin Jinxiao swung his sword several times, and the sharp blade passed through the waists of the people in front of him. The muffled sounds of falling to the ground and miserable screams came one after another from the dark night.
Looking around, he saw trembling firelights gathering from all directions. Lin Jinxiao stood firmly in the stirrups, tightened the frightened horse, and shouted to the man in black with fluttering clothes: "The coastal defense camp is here.
Who dares to make a mistake?"
The man in black raised his eyes and looked around, and saw several groups of soldiers holding torches running towards them from various street corners. These were no better than the county government guards.
I didn't expect that the coastal defense camp would be alerted so quickly. I'm afraid it would be too late to retreat. A few timid people among the men in black were so frightened that they were at a loss what to do. The hands holding the big swords were trembling.
