Chapter 266: Follow the vine to find the secret (2)
(Three chapters tonight)
Now that Lin Yi has decided to deal with the new owner of Tianji Palace, he must be even more careful now. Otherwise, it will be difficult to hide it from the eyes and ears of Tianji Palace. If it is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous.
In order to prevent people from the Tianji Palace lurking among the heroes from spying on the news, Lin Yi found a completely trustworthy person, and then asked Xiao Lianqin to disguise the person as him and leave him in his residence to confuse people.
Lin Yi changed his appearance again and Lu Yaozhu secretly left their residence and headed north.
When Lin Yi left, he told Zeng Tengyun and the fake Lin Yi to rest for a day before taking action, pretending to track the Blood Demon and the Northern Demon. They also headed north while tracking. Because Lin Yi was also heading north, he could keep in touch secretly at any time.
Lin Yi dressed up as Lu Yaozhu and followed him, and the two traveled north for three days to Jiangcheng.
After entering the city, Lu Yaozhu took Lin Yi to an inn in the city.
Lu Yaozhu walked to the counter, where a young man in his twenties wearing a silk scarf was leaning on the counter to record accounts.
Lu Yaozhu tapped the counter twice with her hands, and the young man raised his head. When he saw it was Lu Yaozhu, he lowered his voice and said, "Aunt Yao, are you here? What are your orders?"
Lu Yaozhu whispered: "Yang Yu, where is your father?"
Yang Yu said: "Something happened at the store in Juxian County. My father went to deal with the matter and told me to come back."
Lu Yaozhu said: "I have something important to ask your father. You should send a message to him now and ask him to come back today."
Yang Yu also knew that Lu Yaozhu had a close relationship with his father, and he did not dare to neglect her.
Yang Yu said: "Aunt Yao, please go to the guest room to rest first. I will immediately send a message to my father asking him to come back today."
Lu Yaozhu took Lin Yi to the guest room upstairs to rest.
Lu Yaozhu also told Lin Yi that Yangyu was Shopkeeper Bai's only son. Shopkeeper Bai originally had a daughter, but his wife and daughter died in an accident three years ago. Shopkeeper Bai never had a relationship again. He and his son depended on each other. Shopkeeper Bai also became more and more...
He doted on his son and placed all his hopes on him.
Lu Yaozhu also told Lin Yi that shopkeeper Bai only knew that she had a brother, but did not know that her brother was the famous Prime Minister Lu.
At the end of the day, Lu Yaozhu solemnly said to Lin Yi: "Prince Lin, I know you are eager to find out the master of Tianji Palace now, and I want to find out the master of Tianji Palace even more. But you have to promise me, no matter whether my brother Bai cooperates or not, you will never hurt them father and son. If
If he doesn't cooperate, we'll find another way."
Lin Yi said: "Don't worry, I will never embarrass their father and son."
In the evening, Shopkeeper Bai rushed back after receiving news about his son. Shopkeeper Bai was in his fifties, with a kind face and a short beard.
He came to Lu Yaozhu's guest room and they talked.
Shopkeeper Bai looked at Lu Yaozhu and said, "Mei Yao, what happened when you asked me to come back?"
Lu Yaozhu also looked at Shopkeeper Bai, and her eyes became special. She whispered: "We have known each other for more than twenty years. Although you and I have not been able to become husband and wife, we are in love with each other and are as close as brothers. Now I want to ask you something.
It's a very important thing, I hope you won't hide it from me."
Shopkeeper Bai said: "You can ask, I won't hide it from you."
Lu Yaozhu said: "Are you from Tianji Palace?"
Shopkeeper Bai was stunned after hearing this. He really didn't expect Lu Yaozhu to ask about this. Shopkeeper Bai opened his mouth and seemed a little hesitant, but he finally said: "Yes, I am from Tianji Palace."
Lu Yaozhu thought that Shopkeeper Bai had been operating a store for many years and had been in contact with friends from all over the world, so he was well-informed and was able to find out about the disguised Lin Yi. It turned out that Shopkeeper Bai was really from Tianji Palace.
Lin Yi's guess was indeed correct.
Shopkeeper Bai admitted it, and Lu Yaozhu felt relieved.
Shopkeeper Bai was confused at this moment as to how Lu Yaozhu knew his true identity. He asked: "Yao Zhu, I have hidden it so deeply that even Yang'er doesn't know my true identity now. How did you know?"
Lu Yaozhu said: "A friend of mine guessed that you are from Tianji Palace."
Shopkeeper Bai said in surprise: "Then your friend is really extraordinary! Who is he?!"
Lu Yaozhu said: "He is in the next room now. He wants to talk to you."
Lu Yaozhu's "friend" guessed the identity of shopkeeper Bai, and shopkeeper Bai was naturally curious about who this person was. Shopkeeper Bai said, "Let him come over."
Lu Yaozhu went next door to invite Lin Yi in.
Lin Yi was now wearing a mask. Shopkeeper Bai looked at Lin Yi but couldn't remember who the man in front of him was.
Shopkeeper Bai asked: "Who is your Excellency?"
Lin Yi took off his mask to reveal his true face. Although shopkeeper Bai had never seen Lin Yi in person before, he had seen Lin Yi's portrait. Everyone in Tianji Palace had also seen Lin Yi's portrait.
Shopkeeper Bai never dreamed that Lu Yaozhu's friend would be Lin Yi, who was famous all over the world. Now he is even more respected as the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Shopkeeper Bai's expression also changed.
Lin Yi saw that Shopkeeper Bai was frightened. He clasped his fists at Shopkeeper Bai, and then said with a friendly smile: "Lin Yi has met Brother Bai."
Shopkeeper Bai was flattered that Lin Yi was so polite. He hurriedly said: "Prince Lin... you are so polite. I don't deserve it! I don't deserve it..."
Lin Yi said: "Lu Yaozhu and I are friends, and Brother Bai is naturally also my friend. Brother Bai is older than me. If you think highly of me, just call me Brother Lin."
Shopkeeper Bai was really moved after hearing this.
I didn’t expect King Nan to be so approachable.
Shopkeeper Bai said: "Lin...Brother Lin, I heard Yao Zhu said you want to talk to me?"
Lin Yi said: "Yes."
Shopkeeper Bai asked Lin Yi to sit down. He poured tea for Lin Yi, and then he also sat down.
Shopkeeper Bai said: "King Lin, I am troubled by something, please let me know."
Lin Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Bai, tell me."
Shopkeeper Bai said: "I am indeed from Tianji Palace. I have hidden myself so deeply, and King Lin has never seen me. How did you see through my identity?"
Lin Yi said: "When I came to the southern border, my appearance changed every day but you could still track me. This is not something ordinary people can do. So I guessed that Brother Bai is from Tianji Palace. Because I can't deal with people from Tianji Palace.
Not once or twice.”
I see.
Shopkeeper Bai said: "I'm done asking."
Lin Yi said: "Then it's my turn to ask."
Shopkeeper Bai said: "Prince Lin, please ask. But there are ugly things ahead. Some of them I can answer, but there are some things that I can't say even if I'm killed."
Lin Yi nodded and said: "Did Brother Bai of Tianji Palace order you to follow me, or was Brother Bai just helping Yaozhu?"
Shopkeeper Bai said: "The higher-ups have ordered you to be tracked, and it just so happens that Yaozhu is also looking for you. So I secretly told Yaozhu your whereabouts. Tianji Palace doesn't know about this."
Shopkeeper Bai is Lu Yaozhu, so it can be considered that he is taking the job for personal reasons.
Lin Yi put down the tea bowl in his hand.
"Brother Bai, you and I are both Jianghu people. I won't beat around the bush, I'll tell the truth. Your new master wants to kill me again and again. I can't bear it anymore. Now I decide," Lin Yi stared at Shopkeeper Bai at this point.
, said the last three words. "Kill him!"
Shopkeeper Bai was shocked when he heard this and stood up from his chair.
