(2-in-1) The moonlight shone like water from between the columns of the pavilion, and the bluestone floor glowed with a faint halo, making the light in the pavilion not dim. There were many fallen leaves on the tables and chairs, which was just right.
It was the result of the heavy storm the day before yesterday.
Lin Jue brushed off the fallen leaves and water stains on the tables and chairs with his sleeves, turned around and smiled at Bai Bing who was standing outside the pavilion: "Miss Bai, please sit down."
Bai Bing didn't answer, walked in slowly, and sat down on a spring stool.
"Master Lin came to see me, what do you want me to do?"
Lin Jue walked up to Bai Bing, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I'm here to express my gratitude to you. If you hadn't helped me in front of the Grand Theater that day, I'm afraid things would have been a little difficult. I've been busy with things in my yamen these past two days.
I’ve always wanted to say thank you, but I didn’t find the time to do so. So I came here today to say thank you.”
Bai Bing nodded and said: "So that's what happened. There's no need to thank you. I'm not doing it for your Grand Theater, I'm just doing it for my sister. If it weren't for my sister, she would settle down in your Jiangnan Grand Theater
, I won’t care about that. You don’t have to thank me for that.”
Lin Jue smiled and said: "No matter what, you always help me, I still have to thank you. Although... I don't need your help, but since you helped, how can Lin Jue not know the etiquette."
Bai Bing was stunned and frowned. Although he said that he didn't need Lin Jue to thank him, Lin Jue's words were too rude. What do you mean he didn't need his help? Could it be that he blamed himself for being nosy?
"Miss Bai, do you think my words are harsh? As for me, I don't like to pretend. I have a say. If the girl didn't take action that day, I would have dealt with it myself." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Bai Bing finally couldn't help it anymore and said coldly: "So, I am too troublesome. If I had known this, I shouldn't have taken action. Mr. Lin must be a person who hides his martial arts skills, right?"
There was a teasing tone in Bai Bing's words. She had already seen that Lin Jue did not know martial arts at all. She had lived in the Lin family for more than half a month, and she had never seen Mr. Lin practicing martial arts. However, she often saw him
He slept until three o'clock in the morning before lazily getting up.
Lin Jue laughed and said: "You are wrong, I don't know martial arts at all."
Bai Bing was surprised by Lin Jue's confession and frowned: "That's a bit curious. You also saw the martial arts of the Zuo brothers that day. You don't know martial arts, but you still make life and death arrangements with others. How can you solve it?
Is the only way to die is to die?"
Lin Jue said with a smile: "Miss Bai's words are really interesting. Who said that a person who doesn't know martial arts will die if he fights with someone who knows martial arts? If it's just a competition of martial arts, people who know martial arts will naturally be better than people who don't know martial arts.
But if it’s a life and death fight, that’s not necessarily the case.”
Bai Bing was stunned for a while, and asked with his big eyes confused: "Forgive me for being stupid, I can't understand what you are saying."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "I will explain it to you. If two people fight, if they are to compete in martial arts and hit the point, then the one with high martial arts skills will naturally be able to completely defeat the ordinary people who do not know martial arts. Because ordinary people cannot subdue those with martial arts skills no matter what.
But if it's a life-and-death contest, the situation is completely different. With the goal of killing the opponent, you can use any and all means. Martial arts are not the only means of killing, there are many powerful means that can make the difference between life and death.
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, if someone kills you instantly with one move, he is just a dead person with high martial arts skills."
Bai Bing was in a daze, and she seemed to understand what she heard. The theory that Mr. Lin said was completely different from that of her master. What the master said was that only the higher your martial arts skills, the more you can be invincible.
Land. According to Mr. Lin's words, martial arts seem to be of little use in the battle of life and death.
"Young master Lin, you mean that in a life-and-death fight, your martial arts skills don't matter at all?"
"What I mean is, let's see if you have any means to make up for the lack of martial arts. For example, if you feed your opponent a poison or something during a fight and teach him to die immediately on the spot, it will be useless no matter how high your martial arts is." Lin Jue said.
"Pfft!" Bai Bing laughed out loud, "It's late at night, I'm going back to my room to rest. Master, please take your time and talk nonsense here. Take your leave."
Bai Bing got up and walked out of the pavilion. She really didn't want to talk nonsense to this guy. This guy was serious about talking nonsense, and she was too lazy to waste her words with him.
"Girl, don't believe me? I'm not telling lies." Lin Jue shouted.
"Master Lin, if I don't take action that day, what clever trick are you going to use to win the battle with the Zuo brothers?" Bai Bingbing said with a smile.
Lin Jue smacked his lips and said: "It's really hard to show it to Miss Bai in the middle of the night, for fear of scaring everyone. Yes, you can do it like this."
Lin Jue began to take off his clothes. Bai Bing was startled, stretched out his hand to touch the green flute at his waist, frowned and shouted: "What are you doing?"
Lin Jue quickly took off his robe. Fortunately, there was still a jacket inside, so he was not naked.
"Miss Bai, just watch." Lin Jue took out the black bastard box gun from the leather holster on his waist, clicked it and put it on the medicine bag quickly. Then he rolled up the robe he took off.
It's wrapped around the tortoise box, like a cloth ball on your hand.
"There should be sound insulation. It's a bit far from the back house, so it shouldn't disturb others." Lin Jue said to himself, straightening his arms and pointing the ball in his hand at the rockery outside the pavilion.
.
Bai Bing was confused and didn't know what Lin Jue was doing. He just thought his appearance was very funny. He stood there with a ball wrapped in his hand and gestured outside. What did this mean?
"Miss Bai, to avoid accidents, please cover your ears." Lin Jue said.
Bai Bing tugged at the corner of his mouth disdainfully. Lin Jue nodded, turned his head, and his arms shook. A dull 'bang' sounded. A burst of black smoke and sparks rose up in the pavilion. Although the sound was dull, it was
The unsuspecting Bai Bing's ears were buzzing, and she subconsciously took the green flute around her waist in her hand to be on guard.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
The first one is the sound of a corner of the rockery outside the pavilion collapsing, and the latter one is the sound of the wings of a night bird that is frightened and flies away from the flower tree.
"Oh, the sound is still so loud, don't you want to wake up Wei'er and the others?" Lin Jue's annoyed voice came.
"That...what is that?" Bai Bing asked in shock.
Lin Jue didn't answer. He walked down the stone steps to the rockery and looked around. Bai Bing became curious and followed him unconsciously. When he came to the rockery, Bai Bing followed Lin Jue's gaze and was stunned.
In the corner of the rockery, a stone the size of a millstone has been chipped, and the broken stubble shines in the moonlight. The vines wrapped around the rockery and a few flowers and trees growing in the gaps were broken into pieces and scattered on the ground. "This...
...This is actually caused by...that thing?" Bai Bing exclaimed.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Miss Bai, how does human flesh and blood compare with rockery rocks?"
Bai Bing said softly: "How can it be compared? If this were a human body, I'm afraid it would already be a broken body of flesh and blood."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's it, but I don't know if the Zuo brothers' bones are as hard as this stone."
Bai Bing finally understood. Mr. Lin held a strange hidden weapon. If there was a fight between life and death that day, he could kill him with just one blow. Therefore, although he had no martial arts skills, he was not afraid at all. This is what he said, life and death.
In fact, Xiangbo has little to do with the level of martial arts, the method is the most important.
"The Zuo brothers are not strong enough to resist." Bai Bing said softly.
"What about Miss Bai? Can you resist?" Lin Jue asked with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Bai Bing looked up at Lin Jue. Suddenly her face changed drastically and her eyes widened in shock. Under the moonlight, Lin Jue's face seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She raised her right arm to face Bai Bing,
The black muzzle in front of the ball is terrifying.
"What...are you doing?" After seeing the power of this thing, Bai Bing's voice trembled a little.
"Don't move, unless you think you can escape my attack. I might as well tell you that what is fired here are countless small iron balls, scattered and powerful enough to break stones. I know that you are highly skilled in martial arts, but you may not
You can dodge them all. As long as a few of them hit your face, they will penetrate deep into your brain. Even if it misses the vital point, you will be lucky to survive. But your beautiful face will definitely be ruined." Lin Jue
He shouted coldly.
Bai Bing originally wanted to find a way to counterattack, but after listening to Lin Jue's words, she gave up this idea. The most important thing was Lin Jue's last words. Being beaten to death is not too scary, the scary thing is
If your face is disfigured, it's all over. Disfigurement is more terrifying than death. This is the general consensus among girls.
"Move that thing away, why are you pointing it at me?" Bai Bing calmed down and asked in a deep voice.
"Miss Bai, I have a few questions that I would like you to answer clearly. I hope you won't deceive me. If I feel that your answers are not completely truthful, maybe with a flick of my finger, your pretty face will turn into a rotten watermelon.
Lin Jue laughed.
Bai Bing trembled and said angrily: "Master Lin, how can you be so rude? I have no enmity with you, what are you doing?"
"Stop talking about that, answer my questions first. First, who are you? Second, what is your purpose of coming here? Third, where did your martial arts come from? Who did you learn it from? Tell me."
Lin Jue shouted coldly.
Bai Bing's face turned pale, and he was trembling with anger. But seeing Lin Jue's fierce expression, he didn't dare to act rashly. He only said angrily: "I didn't expect you to be such a person. I will enter the water with you without violating the river. That day
I also helped you. Even if you don’t need my help, it can be regarded as helping you out. How can you treat me like this?"
Lin Juedao: "People are unpredictable, so we have to be on guard. Qin Xiaoxiao and I are not very familiar with each other, let alone her sister. She is a sister with martial arts skills who suddenly appeared after being separated for many years. And the martial arts skills she uses are still very weird.
.Lin also has some enemies in the capital, and there is no guarantee that someone will do harm to me. For the safety of me and my family, I have to be careful."
Bai Bingbing said with a smile: "If I had harmful intentions, I would have taken action a long time ago. How can I still allow you to live until now? I have lived in your house for more than half a month, and there are many opportunities to take action."
Lin Jue sneered and said: "That's hard to say. Maybe you want to come here to spy on the news or something. Besides, your target is me, and I don't have much contact with you. You may not have a good chance to make a move."
Bai Bing was at a loss for words and said angrily: "Okay, since you insist on thinking that way, I have nothing to say. If you want to kill me, do it. I am not subject to coercion. If you ask me these things nicely, I might
Let me tell you, you are forcing me like this and you don’t even think I can say a word."
Lin Jue frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll smash your face?"
Bai Bingbing smiled and said: "I'm afraid, but I won't be coerced by you for this. It's just a disfigurement or death, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
Lin Jue gritted his teeth and shouted: "Okay, then I will help you, blow your head off with one shot, and let you die here."
Bai Bing's body was trembling, and he was extremely frightened, but he bit his lips and kept silent. Seeing Lin Jue staring at him fiercely, with the muzzle of the gun in his hand almost touching his face, Bai Bing closed his eyes,
Instead, he ignored it.
After a long silence, Bai Bing did not hear the roar, only the rustling sound. When Bai Bing opened his eyes, Lin Jue was already standing in front of him with a smile, his hands were empty, and his expression was as usual.
"Just kidding, Miss Bai has such hard bones. You are the hardest-boned woman I have ever seen. You are not afraid of being disfigured, so what are you afraid of?" Lin Jue said with a smile.
"Are you... kidding? Are you kidding me like this?" Bai Bing almost jumped up and wanted to rush up, grab him by the throat, and slap him across the face with a hateful smile. But as soon as
Thinking of the hidden weapon on his waist, Bai Bing felt a little unconfident. It would be bad if he couldn't outrun him.
"What's this? I've made this kind of joke with Green Dance many times. Once I poured chicken blood all over my head and fell in the yard pretending to be dead. Green Dance thought I was really dead, so she wanted to commit suicide with a knife.
.A very fun game." Lin Jue smiled.
"You are a madman. I will leave here tomorrow. I will not live with a madman." Bai Bingbing shouted coldly, turned around and left.
"Miss Bai, did your martial arts come from the Magic Sound Sect?" Lin Jue asked from behind.
Bai Bing was startled again, turned around and said in astonishment: "How do you know about the Magic Sound Sect? Who are you?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "I should ask you this, but you asked me instead. Miss Bai, the martial arts you used that day, someone recognized it as the Kung Fu of the Magic Sound Sect. Is Miss Bai a member of the Magic Sound Sect?
I heard that it is an evil sect..."
Bai Bing glared at Lin Jue, her teeth itching with hatred. She suddenly realized that she had made a huge mistake. It was not that she secretly left her master and came to the Central Plains from Mobei to save her sister, but that she revealed the magic sound sect's skills.
The master had told her long ago that the skills of the Magic Sound Sect should not be used as a last resort, otherwise it would cause endless trouble. But she had forgotten this when she started doing it that day. Although she thought about it afterwards, she still had a trace of luck.
, hoping that no one would recognize it. But now, it seems that someone has found out.
"Miss Bai, I don't mean anything else, I'm just asking casually. At your age, what happened to the Magic Sound Sect back then shouldn't have anything to do with you. It actually has nothing to do with me either. I just heard someone say that, so I'm curious.
Just asking. I don’t have any hostility towards Miss Bai." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Bai Bing nodded and said: "That's good. I have no hostility towards you. My sister will settle down in the Grand Theater in the future. I hope Master Lin will take more care of me. As for me, I will say goodbye and leave tomorrow. Master, you don't have to worry about me being unfavorable to you.
Worry about other things.”
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Leave tomorrow? Why not wait until after your sister's premiere? What's so good about Mobei? Since the girl has left there, why bother to go back to that bitter and cold place? Will the girl have to stay there all her life?
A place like that? Although the squirrel is cute, it can't talk. Although the pine nuts are delicious, they are not as good as the delicacies of the Central Plains."
Bai Bing's eyes widened and he shouted sternly: "You dare to eavesdrop on me?"
Lin Jue shrugged and spread his hands and said: "I just came to see Miss Bai. Miss Bai was admiring the moon. I didn't want to disturb her, so I waited nearby. Who would have thought that Miss Bai would talk to herself. I didn't bring any velvet.
I blocked my ears and had no choice but to listen passively."
Bai Bing gritted his teeth angrily. This was the first time he had encountered someone who had overheard something so good. It seemed like he was forced to feel helpless.
"Miss Bai, it turns out that the life experiences of you two sisters are so pitiful. Alas, there are so many separations and uncertainties in life and death in this world. It is a great blessing for Miss Bai to be reunited with your sister. I feel sorry for you two sisters.
I'm happy to be reunited. But Miss Bai said she wanted to go back to Mobei and leave your sister alone. How can you bear it?" Lin Jue sighed.
"What does it have to do with you? Do you want to take care of it?" Bai Bing yelled angrily.
Lin Jue shook his head and sighed: "Of course it's none of my business. I'm just thinking about your sister. Your sister finally escaped from the sea of misery and now she has settled in our Grand Theater. I also hope that she can settle down. But
, you have also seen that our Grand Theater is not a pure place in the world. Many people come to make trouble. Competitors will come to cause trouble, and those dandies from the capital will come to cause trouble. You also saw the yamen that day. He is
The son of Prime Minister Lu of this dynasty is someone who is not easy to mess with. Although he left in despair this time, what about next time? There is no guarantee that he will not hold a grudge and cause trouble everywhere. With the opening of the semicolon, your sister will become a pillar, and her reputation will become more and more popular after that.
If you are big, it will inevitably cause more trouble. If your sister is wronged when she encounters these troublemaking dogs, who will protect her? You are far away in Mobei and cannot rescue her. What about me? I have no power. You want me
It is unrealistic to use firearms to kill people. If I do that, I have to kill people to pay for my life. In business, you need to be harmonious to make money. I can't just fight with others when encountering trouble, right? Tell me, isn't your sister going to be wronged? Instead of that.
In this case, it is better to let her stay in Yangzhou Qingguan."
Bai Bing was shocked, but also muttered a little. Lin Jue's words also made sense. I'm afraid that if I leave, I will never have the chance to return to the Central Plains. Isn't it miserable for my sister to be alone here? Although the Grand Theater took her in, but
When encountering difficult things, I'm afraid I have to give in. My sister is being bullied here, how can I feel at ease?
"Then what do you think we should do?" Bai Bing asked with a frown.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Of course there are ways, but I don't know if you agree with it or not."
"You said." Bai Bing asked hurriedly. As a girl who grew up in a deserted land in Mobei, she had little experience in dealing with things. Naturally, she didn't know the countermeasures at the moment. She could only follow Lin Jue's ideas.
"It's very simple. One way is that you simply take your sister to Mobei, so that you sisters can reunite and have nothing to do with each other. Although for me, I don't want this. After all, Miss Xiaoxiao will definitely be my elder sister in the future.
The mainstay of the theater. I also hope she can stay here. But I have to think about her safety, and I don’t want you sisters to be separated from each other." Lin Jue smacked his lips.
"No, how can this be possible? She can't live where I live. It's bitter cold and desolate, and ordinary people can't live there. Besides, it's lonely and lonely there, and my sister's temper can't be tolerated, and she will suffocate to death.
And... the master... will not allow it." Bai Bing frowned.
"Yes, I didn't expect this. I have also heard about the Mobei land that Miss Bai talked about. It is windy, snowy, cold, barren and desolate. My sister has lived in the southeast all her life. She is not used to it when she comes to the capital. What's more,
Let alone Mobei. Wouldn't that kill her? Besides, staying in such a place for the rest of her life would kill her alive. My sister's temperament is different from yours. She is lively and loves to be lively." Lin Jue nodded in agreement.
road.
Bai Bing frowned and looked at Lin Jue: "Then, is there any other way? You seem to have a lot of ideas."
Lin Jue said: "If she can't leave with you, I'm afraid there is only one way."
"What can I do?" Bai Bing asked hurriedly.
"If you stay, the problem will be solved." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"I... stay? No, no, absolutely not." Bai Bing waved her little hand.
"Why not? This is a reasonable thing. You two sisters have gone through many hardships and finally reunited. How could you be separated again? If you could stay, wouldn't it be a happy family reunion? I think, your father,
Your parents’ spirits in heaven must also be happy. They will smile when they see you sisters reunited and taking care of each other.” Lin Jue played the sensational card.
"No...you don't understand, I can't...stay!" Bai Bing frowned and shook his head.
"Oh, I understand. Is Miss Bai already married? Has a sweetheart? Or has a child? That's easy, just bring them over together. The capital is so big, can't it not accommodate a few more people?"
Lin Jue smiled.
"Oh, what are you talking about? Who... got married? Who has children again? What are you talking about?" Bai Bing stomped his feet angrily.
Lin Jue was just teasing her, but he would have known that Bai Bing would not have such things at all. In the desolate land of Mobei, a place where birds don't poop, where can a sweetheart come from? If you have a sweetheart, you still play with squirrels? There are many things to play with.
Gone.
"Sorry, sorry, look at my mouth. It turns out I misunderstood." Lin Jue stretched out his hand to slap his own mouth, but all he hit was air.
"If that's not the reason, then why can't you stay? Are you worried about your livelihood? Don't worry, just with your martial arts skills, I will hire you as a nurse at home. You don't have to worry about anything, just dispatch the troublemakers for us.
.The salary is absolutely generous, and we can also provide you and your sister with carriages, horses, servants, and accommodation."
Lin Jue wandered around for a long time, and finally made his request logically. Lin Jue would never let go of such a strong martial arts person. There is a shortage of such people around him now, and there is always a sense of insecurity. There is always a sense of insecurity.
It is necessary to hire some bodyguards with high martial arts skills to protect the courtyard and to prepare for emergencies. This is the purpose of Lin Jue coming to Bai Bing tonight.
