"Senior brother, you were also taken aback, weren't you?
When I saw it just now, I couldn't believe my own eyes, and I thought it was an illusion. ”Liang Zheng said with emotion.Chen Lin nodded with a smile, indicating that this was indeed the case.After Bai Muxiu confirmed, he was shocked at first, and then ecstatic: "Okay, well, after the master knows, he will be very happy!"
”However, without waiting for Chen Lin to answer, the joy on Bai Muxiu's face had completely faded, and he was replaced by a sad face."
How?"
Chen Lin looked slightly stunned and asked suspiciously.Bai Muxiu has a gentle temperament, in his previous life, but Chen Lin's master, Chen Lin can be said to know him very well, he knows Bai Muxiu's character completely, and there are very few things that can make him reveal this emotion."
Little junior brother, I'm sorry for you.The master is not here, and I can't stand it alone, and after all, I still can't resist the pressure over there. ”Bai Muxiu said helplessly, looking at Chen Lin and couldn't help but apologize slightly."
What do you mean?"
Seeing that the atmosphere in the Ancient Sword Mansion was not right before, Chen Lin had a bad premonition, so he was not very surprised, and when Bai Muxiu said "over there", he immediately knew what he was referring to.It wasn't a surprise to him.Without waiting for Bai Muxiu to answer, Liang Zheng preemptively said angrily: "Little junior brother, you have been in retreat for the past few days, and you don't know what happened.Originally, there were a total of thirty-six cities around our Ancient Sword Mansion, and under the protection of our Ancient Sword Mansion, they had to worship our Ancient Sword Mansion twice a year, which was the foundation of our Ancient Sword Mansion's survival.But in recent years, the situation has deteriorated, and this time the time has come again, and yet, there are still 16 cities that have not been delivered!
If this continues, once we start a war with the Yang Fame and Yang royal clans, we will bear the brunt of it, and we will lose any chance to win because of lack of resources!
”"Therefore, the government will send many people to these sixteen cities to collect offerings!"
Bai Muxiu said helplessly: "Originally, you have only been in the house for a few days, and it is impossible to have you, but the right mansion is powerful, and it is tough to arrange you in the list, so" As he spoke, both of them looked at Chen Lin apologetically.It was only at this point that Chen Lin finally figured out what was going on.He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, the Ancient Sword Mansion was facing a crisis, and the pressure from the Yang royal family and the fame of the Dao was there, and there was this one, many big cities that originally belonged to the Gu Sword Mansion's sphere of influence broke away one after another and took refuge in each other, which was tantamount to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle.If it weren't for Chen Lin's strong rise of the Ancient Sword Mansion, in this kind of crisis, it would really be in vain.He didn't care, and even comforted Bai Muxiu in turn, and Liang Zheng said: "It's nothing, since I chose to join the Ancient Sword Mansion, it is natural for me to contribute to the Ancient Sword Mansion, and I can't make an exception just because I have been in the mansion for a short time.""
Little junior brother, aren't you angry?"
Liang Zheng looked at Chen Lin strangely, if it was him, I was afraid that he would be angry.Chen Lin asked rhetorically, "Why are you angry?"
I'm going to take advantage of this operation to have a good experience!
”As he spoke, a brave and unstoppable momentum naturally erupted from his body, and he seemed to be eager to meet a strong opponent immediately and have a good fight.Bai Muxiu and Liang Zheng glanced at each other, both smiling bitterly."
In addition to recruiting me, I think that the means of Youfu and others are more than that, right?""
Indeed!"
Liang Zheng said, with a cold tone in his tone."
That's natural, our Zuofu has been sent many disciples, and they are basically disciples of the swordsman stage.Therefore, the sixteen collection teams were dispatched, and the swordsmen of the Left Mansion accounted for the majority, but the people who led the team were basically the swordsmen of the Right Mansion. ”Bai Muxiu said angrily.was obviously very angry, which made Chen Lin a little surprised.In his memory, this master in his previous life, the current senior brother, has always been gentle and elegant, magnificent, rarely angry, and a veritable honest man.Now, even honest people are angry, you can imagine how excessive those people in the right mansion have done."
That's not all, in the team you went to, I vaguely know that it seems that they are basically people from the Right Mansion, except for you" Chen Lin didn't have too many surprises when he heard this, and said coldly: "These fools, at this time, are still busy fighting the same door, counting on these wastes, the Ancient Sword Mansion will be destroyed sooner or later!"
”"There is no way, over the years, there have been many talents in the Right Mansion, from the veterans to the masters at all levels, more than sixty percent of them come from the Right Mansion, especially our Mansion Master, who is also from the Right Mansion" "Senior Brother Chen Lin, you should be patient for the time being, and don't conflict with those people.After all, anything can happen when you're away from home, so you have to be careful, and be careful. ”Bai Muxiu and Liang Zheng reminded and warned Chen Linlai.The heart of love is beyond words.Chen Lin was a little moved, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”"Well, you go and get ready first, and when it's time to go, I'll call you."
After Bai Muxiu finished explaining, he left in a hurry, as if he wanted to fight for Chen Lin before the dust settled.As a result, the miracle did not happen.In less than a day, Chen Lin received an order to be sent to participate in the expropriation team.The edict made it very clear that he set off with a team to a large city thousands of miles away, Red Lake City.This big city, built next to a huge red lake, hence the name.The reason why the Red Lake is called the Red Lake is because the lake is rich in a kind of red light algae, which is extraordinary, for ordinary people, it is only an extremely nutritious food, but for cultivators, it can be used as an adjunct for refining many kinds of pills.Comparatively speaking, sword cultivation was far inferior to Dao cultivation in refining pills.But because of this, the Ancient Sword Mansion would rather all the red light algae in Red Lake City die than let Yang Dao get it!"
Senior brother, fifth senior brother, then I'll go."
After Chen Lin received the order, he didn't hesitate at all, picked up the ironwood sword, and was about to go.He didn't have anything to prepare, because all his belongings were already hidden in his pocket and he carried them with him.Traveling lightly, it looks unusually chic.Who knows, he just walked out a few steps, but Liang Zheng suddenly shouted: "Little junior brother, you wait a minute, let me inquire for you, who is in the collection team you joined." ”Without waiting for Chen Lin to open his mouth to refuse, Liang Zheng had already snatched it out, and he didn't know where to go.Chen Lin had no choice but to wait where he was.Fortunately, soon, Liang Zheng came back, grabbed Chen Lin and said, "I found out, junior brother, there are a total of ten people in this collection team you joined, nine of them are swordsmen like you, and they are led by a master at the sword master level." ”"Remember, this team leader is from Youfu, his name is Yang Tong, and he is a third-order sword master, and at the age of less than thirty years old, he is not bad."
Liang Zheng added: "Of course, you are far from being comparable to the junior brother.However, you have to be careful, if this person has bad intentions and insists on you on a dangerous mission, you can refuse him!
With your strength and your identity, you can compete with him, and as for the others, there is nothing to worry about. ”Chen Lin looked at Liang Zheng in surprise and exclaimed, "Fifth Senior Brother, where did you get this information from in such a short period of time?"
This intelligence gathering effort is very good. ”"Where, where, piece of cake."
Liang Zheng said this in his mouth, but he couldn't help but smile smugly on his face.Bai Muxiu couldn't stand it anymore from the side, and said angrily: "You kid, if you put all your energy on cultivation in this area, it will definitely be more than the current realm." ”Chen Lin saw that Liang Zheng was wilting all of a sudden, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Senior brother, if a sect is full of people who only know how to cultivate, it is impossible for it to develop and grow.I think the fifth senior brother is quite talented in interpersonal communication and intelligence gathering.Okay, I've memorized what you said, so I'm going to go. ”"Be careful!""
Pay attention to that Yang Tong!"
In the worried eyes of the two, Chen Lin strode away without looking back.Towards the assembly place specified in the edict, where the stone monument of the gate in front of the Ancient Sword Mansion is located.In the distance, Chen Lin saw nine people waiting there, both men and women, chattering and not knowing what they were talking about, and they were in full swing.Suddenly, among the nine people, one of them noticed Chen Lin's figure, immediately shut up, touched the person next to him with his arm, and reminded in a low voice: "He's here!"
”"He's coming!"
He didn't name him.But these nine people all knew who this "he" was, and their eyes were suddenly projected on Chen Lin, and they did not hide the hostility in their eyes at all.Chen Lin turned a blind eye, didn't bother to bother with these people at all, and walked straight towards the middle-aged man in the crowd, who was obviously Yang Tong's person, and said, "Chen Lin, come and report." ”"Hmm!"
Yang Tong's expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see anything from his face at all.However, his background is already destined not to have a good attitude towards Chen Lin.Chen Lin knew this, said hello, stepped aside, and waited quietly for departure.It's already as low-key as possible.It's a pity that there are still people who are unwilling to let him go.In the crowd, there was a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in red, and quite delicate, almost surrounded by the other stars and moons.She stood there, and naturally exuded a sense of arrogance, commanding her fingers.Even Yang Tong, a third-order swordsman who was the leader of the team, faintly gave her three points.It was this girl in red, when Chen Lin appeared, a pair of beautiful eyes looked directly at Chen Lin, and there was a faint golden sword on her body that exploded with the killing intent, which was very strong and terrifying."
Get out of the way!"
Suddenly, I saw her push away the person in front of her, walked straight to Chen Lin, and asked, "You are that Chen Lin?"
Chen Lin glanced up, then lowered his head, not bothering to pay attention to this little girl at all.He had already reported his name just now, and he said it clearly.Unless you are deaf, it is impossible not to hear, but you still come to ask, making it clear that you are knowingly asking and deliberately finding fault.Chen Lin only felt inexplicable, and thought back slightly, this little girl did not have any impression in his memory, and in this life, he had only entered the Ancient Sword Mansion for a few days, and the people he had contact with were only a few hands, so he had never offended her.
