Chapter 43: The Sword Returns to Its Original Owner (2)
(asking for monthly ticket)
Lin Yi left the palace, then managed to get some ordinary clothes to change into, and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It is now three o'clock in the afternoon.
Except for the occasional patrol of soldiers and horses, the streets were deserted.
When we arrived in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the door was closed. There were red lanterns hanging on both sides of the door, and there were several gatekeepers standing under the porch.
Lin Yi walked toward the door, immediately alerting the soldiers.
Lin Yi came over and said, "I am an old friend of General Lu Ba. I have something to ask for. Please come in and tell me something."
The doorman yawned.
"It's inconvenient to disturb General Lu in the middle of the night. You can come back tomorrow..." At this point, the gate officer looked at Lin Yi and rubbed his eyes with his hands and exclaimed: "It turns out it's the King of the South! I'm going to report it now."
It turned out that this official had accompanied Lu Ba on his expedition, and now he recognized Lin Yi.
After waiting for about a tea time, Lu Ba came out.
He also held a sword in his hand.
It is Lin Yi's Snow Eliminating Sword.
Lu Ba was very excited when he saw Lin Yi.
Lu Ba said: "Brother Lin, the prime minister has rules and no outsiders are allowed to come in casually. Especially people from the world. I won't invite you into the house. Let's talk somewhere else."
Lin Yi also knew that Prime Minister Lu acted cautiously and low-key, which was in sharp contrast to Feng Liancheng's flamboyant personality back then. Therefore, now that Feng Liancheng is dead, Prime Minister Lu is still Prime Minister Lu.
From the first time Lin Yi met Prime Minister Lu, he dared not underestimate him.
Lu Ba and Lin Yi came to a nearby small wine shop.
Lu Ba knocked on the door, and the shopkeeper was about to get angry when he was woken up. But when he opened the door and saw Lu Ba, he quickly became pleasant.
It turned out that Lu Ba often went to his pub to drink.
This also made him feel honored.
The two of them went into the wine shop and sat down. Lu Ba asked the shopkeeper to serve some wine and made some side dishes before letting him go down. Lin Yi and Lu Ba were the only ones in the wine shop, and they happened to be talking.
Lu Ba poured the wine for Lin Yi and said with emotion: "Brother Lin, I'm really happy for you when I heard that the emperor pardoned you. I thought you would die at first, but I didn't expect that you would be blessed and survive the catastrophe. You
This is something that has never happened before. It seems that God is blessing you too. Come on, let me toast you!"
Lin Yi thought to himself, if Lu Ba knew that he was a golden-masked guard and the sworn brother of the new emperor, he really didn't know how he would feel.
The two of them picked up their wine bowls, clinked them, and each drank the wine in one gulp.
Lu Ba said again: "Brother Lin, when I brought wine and food to visit you, it turned out that the food and wine were poisonous and almost killed you. I was also interrogated by the Minister of Dali Temple. In the end, the case became an unresolved case. Brother Lin, you didn't think it was
Is that what I did?"
Lin Yi said: "Brother Lu, I don't believe that you want to harm me at all. If you want to harm me, it will be easy for you to escort me back to Beijing. For this reason, I also remind the Dali Temple Minister that you must not accuse Brother Lu unjustly.
"
Lu Ba was very pleased that Lin Yi trusted him so much.
Lu Ba drank another bowl of wine and then poured it himself.
"Since then, I have been prohibited from visiting the prison. So I have never visited Brother Lin since then. I knew that Brother Lin was pardoned, so I knew you would come to me. Because," At this point, Lu Ba said
He held the "Xuexue Sword" and handed it to Lin Yi. "Because your sword is with me. I said I would keep it for you back then. Now it has returned to its original owner!"
Lin Yi took the sword and stroked the scabbard with his hand, and the Xue Xue Sword returned to its owner's hand.
Now with Lin Yi's martial arts, it doesn't matter whether he has a sword or not.
The important thing is that this sword belongs to the Qin family.
It also carries too many stories.
Let Lin Yi see the sword as if he were a relative.
Lin Yi drew out a section of the sword.
In an instant, the long-lost green light flashed out in the dim wine shop.
This green light also made Lin Yi feel filled with emotions.
At that time, Lin Yi also believed that he would definitely die, and even said that he would give this sword to Lu Ba.
Looking back on the situation back then, it was like a desperate situation. Unexpectedly, now that there is a bright future, Lin Yi and Lu Ba really feel like they are in a dream.
The Xue Xue Jian returned to its owner's hand again. Lin Yi picked up the wine and said, "Thank you, Brother Lu, for keeping it for me. I'll give Brother Lu a bowl!"
The two drank the wine, and Lin Yi said: "Brother Lu, is there any whereabouts of my wife?"
Lu Badao: "In the past few years, I have been sending people to search. According to reports from my subordinates, my wife appeared in Hezhou two years ago. She also appeared in Jinzhou a year ago. Eight months ago, someone saw her in the southern border.
After that, there was no news about her. Brother Lin, I have failed in your trust."
Although Lin Yi was disappointed, he also knew that Lu Ba had tried his best.
Lin Yi said: "Brother Lu, you have tried your best. At least I know that she is still alive. I will find her. By the way, in the past three years, I wonder if Brother Lu has paid attention to the affairs in the Jianghu?"
Lu Badao: "Because I am looking for Madam, I have also paid attention to some Jianghu affairs in the past few years. Now there are several terrifying demons in the Jianghu. They are called the Three Doomsday Demons. Because they continue to cause chaos in the Jianghu. They are coming.
, it’s like the end is coming. Now the world can be said to be shrouded in terror. Everyone is in danger.”
Unexpectedly, after being imprisoned for more than three years, there would be a few more demons in the world.
Lin Yi said: "Tell me about it."
Lu Badao: "The one who caused the most trouble was the Northern Demon. It is said that after the Battle of Fengxiang, the Northern Demon disappeared. Half a year ago, he returned to the world. Then he started killing people. I heard that the Sima clan in Xingzhou was killed by the Northern Demon.
He and his companions killed more than 200 people in one night and almost wiped out the family. Moreover, the Northern Demon also killed many masters of Shaolin. Even the eminent monk Long Zhi died in his hands a few days ago. There are also Kunlun, Mo Mei and other major sects.
Many people are being killed by him. In short, no matter who offends him, almost no one will survive. The North Demon can now be said to have changed the martial arts world..."
Lin Yi was moved when he heard this.
Of course he knew that the Northern Demon was Qin Dingfang.
Qin Dingfang destroyed the Sima clan because the Sima clan was one of the eighteen groups that attacked Xihai.
Qin Dingfang is seeking revenge for Linghu Zanghun.
Then why did Qin Dingfang massacre the disciples of several major sects, including the eminent Shaolin monk Master Long Zhi? He was simply an enemy of the entire world.
Three years can change a lot of people and things, and Qin Dingfang has become so terrifying.
Lin Yi thought to himself, maybe Qin Dingfang has mastered the Blood Demon Kung Fu?
Lin Yi said again: "Besides Bei Mo, who else is there?"
Lu Badao: "There is another one who appeared four months ago. It is said that no one has seen his true appearance. He is elusive. He wears a black iron mask on his face and several iron chains on his body. He is called the Iron-faced Demon.
Jun. I heard that the master of Wudang was killed after twenty moves from him. Since he came out, he has killed countless people. It makes people scared."
Lin Yi thought to himself, who is this iron demon?
Lu Ba continued: "There is another one, rumored to be a female devil. She is called the Tianyin Witch. She is not as famous as the Northern Demon and the Iron Demon, but she is also a very scary person. This is all I know. After all, I am not a Jianghu person.
.”
Lin Yi said: "Are these three demons working together?"
Lu Badao: "Probably not. A few days ago, Chai Fu, who was responsible for finding your wife, reported to me that something big was going to happen in the world. He said that Bei Mo had sent a letter of war to Tie Mo."
After Lin Yi listened, he dipped his finger in some wine and wrote four words on the table: Three Demons of Doom.
