Fragrance on the Moon

Feixian Island Baiyun City.

Lin Chaoying's arrival undoubtedly made the entire Baiyun City Lord's Mansion extremely happy, and Aliu and the others received an unprecedented welcome thanks to his blessing.

Hu Tiehua got his wish, drank the Baihong wine that he wanted to taste on the road, and shouted that it was really the right time;

Ji Bingyan was a bit unlucky and didn't catch up with the busiest time in Baiyun City, but with her good eyesight and bargaining skills, she bought a bunch of jade at a low price;

Even Wuhua, after coming here, is quite happy to use the island's tropical fruits to develop several kinds of desserts...

"Feixian Island is really a good place." But after three drinks, Hu Tiehua fell in love with it a little bit, "The scenery is good, the wine is good, and the people are even better."

The person he was talking about was the current hostess of Baiyun City, that is, Ye Gucheng's mother, a generous and gentle lady. Yesterday, when he heard that he wanted to drink the island's specialty Baihong wine, he immediately sent someone to open the Tibetan Palace of the City Lord's Mansion. He took the jars with the oldest years and brought them out to entertain him.

A Liu followed him to taste a few cups, and it was indeed extremely mellow, far better than the ones they drank before, worthy of the jade liquid wine that Lin Chaoying said on the way when he came.

But it was also because the wine was so good that she was embarrassed to drink too much.

She couldn't help but persuade Hu Tiehua: "Don't be too rude to others, this wine can't be brewed casually."

"Brother Tao Lin's Guang came here as a guest. The host is generous with good wine, but if you drink like you, you really don't treat yourself as an outsider."

Although Hu Tiehua loves wine, it's not that she doesn't understand the world at all, and she understands it as soon as she talks about it.

But he really likes Baihong wine, he scratched his hair and thought for a long time before saying, "Why don't you ask Mrs. Ye to buy it?"

A Liu: "..."

Ji Bingyan was also speechless: "Even if you propose it, they won't agree."

Hu Tiehua was wronged: "Then what should I do?"

A Liu thought about it, and said that he could only do her best to repay the favor.

"What's the matter?" Hu Tiehua was curious, "I feel that Feixian Island has everything, and everything is very good, there is nothing that needs help."

"It's because there's everything there," said Aliu, "that's why people can't help but want to come here."

Listening to her tone, Ji Bingyan felt that there should be something inside that they didn't know about, so she asked, "What's wrong? What did you find?"

A Liu shook his head: "I didn't find out, it was Chaoying. Didn't he come here three years ago? At that time, he fought off those who wanted to trouble Feixian Island with one sword at a time. He thought the matter had been resolved, but this When I came back again, I found that the defense of Baiyun City had changed a lot of new faces."

"It's been three years, and [-]% of the soldiers and horses in the capital have been replaced by old and new. It's normal to have more new faces here." Hu Tiehua didn't think there was anything wrong with this, "Is he thinking too much?"

"The situation in Baiyun City is different." A Liu shook his head again, "There are only a few people in the islands of the South China Sea, and they have been self-sufficient for generations. The city defense here has always been from people who have lived on Feixian Island for generations. Chosen."

Hearing this, Ji Bingyan already understood: "It is true that there will not be so many new faces all of a sudden. It is necessary to find out the origin of the new faces, and where they have gone after working in the city defense for a few years."

A Liu gave him a look of approval, and then said: "Chaoying has already gone to ask Mrs. Ye, and she should come to us after the question."

At this point in the conversation, Hu Tiehua realized that her address to Lin Chaoying had changed, clicked his tongue, and said, "It seems that you and him are very hit-and-miss."

A Liu: "Huh?"

Hu Tiehua winked for a while: "They are all called Shang Chaoying."

A Liu: "..."

She was speechless for a while, and finally explained with Hu Tiehua's teasing eyes: "Brother Lin, Brother Chu, it's too polite, it's just more convenient to call the name directly."

As if she had made an appointment, just as she finished speaking, Lin Chaoying, who had gone to ask Mrs. Ye for advice, just came back after asking.

"There is a real problem!" His voice came faster than his fellows, "Ah Chu, I may have to borrow your boat again!"

Ah Liu stood up immediately: "What's the situation?"

Only then did Lin Chaoying push open the courtyard door, holding his sword with an angry face, and said, "Mrs. Ye said that in the past three years, the defense of Baiyun City has indeed recruited several groups of people, because almost every month someone will ask for resignation."

"What's the reason for your resignation?" Ji Bingyan had already expected this answer and was not surprised.

"It's all kinds of things, either you are sick, or your family is relocated, and you just don't want to continue to defend the city." Lin Chaoying said, "People who want to leave can't be kept. Mrs. Ye has no choice but to order people to leave." Another recruit."

"This is very convenient to put eyeliner on those who have plans in Baiyun City." Ji Bingyan's tone was still so lazy, but his eyes had turned cold.

Lin Chaoying thought so too, but he also knew how difficult it was to find out the mole from these people.

Especially now that the entire Feixian Island knows that he is coming, even if those people originally planned to attack, they will definitely endure this period of time.

"So I thought, since this is the case, we might as well come and catch the turtle!" Lin Chaoying said, "I will let Mrs. Ye cooperate with us, so that everyone on Feixian Island will think that we have left."

This is indeed a good way. In the current situation of Baiyun City, if we want to break the situation, this is probably the only way to do it.

But there is still a problem with this method, that is, no one can guarantee that when they "leave", those who seek Feixian Island will act immediately-if they want to wait another two years, and then install some people, How about when the time is more mature?

A Liu was puzzled, so he asked face to face.

Lin Chaoying actually thought of this, so he made other preparations: "Then make a fuss about the reason why I left."

"what do you mean?"

"Didn't I accept Lord Ye Shao as an apprentice?" Lin Chaoying said, "Now that he is three years old and can draw wooden swords, it's time for me to take on the responsibility of being a master. So I left this time for Just looking for a sword for him, when I find a suitable sword—"

"When you find a suitable sword, you will really stay in Baiyun City and teach him!" A Liu's eyes lit up, "At that time, if you want to do it, you have to weigh how much strength it will take to get rid of you. So before you come back, they must move. Although they may not be able to please you when you come back, if you can divide up the wealth of Baiyun City during your absence, and then detain Mrs. Ye and Ye Shaocheng, The initiative is now in their hands."

Lin Chaoying clapped her palms, her eyes were full of admiration for smart people, and she said, "That's right, that's exactly the case."

At this point, Ah Liu's doubts were completely resolved.

She pressed the corner of the stone table, pursed her lips, smiled faintly, and said, "Okay, I borrowed that boat, when shall we leave?"

"Let's not leave." Lin Chaoying had already planned everything on the way here, and turned to Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan while talking, "In order to deceive the eyeliners in the city, the boat must really leave, but this Isn’t the boat very expensive? You have to have Ah Chu’s own people on board, so I can only ask you two to take the two Mrs. Ye’s confidantes who pretend to be me and Ah Chu, and float on the sea for a while.”

"It's okay to float for a while, as long as there is wine and meat, I can stay at sea all year round." Hu Tiehua consciously does not have high demands.

"You must be indispensable." Lin Chaoying smiled, "Don't you like Baihong wine? Then bring a few more jars on board."

"Take Ah Hua with you too." A Liu added, "Old Ji used to be a naughty one, but now she's raised her even worse. If you don't take him, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive at sea."

Wu Hua, who was concentrating on cutting honeydew melons at another stone table not far away: "..." Dare I be a cook?

However, he only dared to complain a little in his heart. When Ah Liu finished speaking and looked at him, he could only smile reflexively and said respectfully: "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely take good care of Mr. Hu." With Master Ji."

Ah Liu's face remained unchanged: "Well, I won't talk about the consequences of not taking good care of you, as long as you understand."

Wu Hua: "Of course I understand." I don't have any fucking internal energy now, how dare I not understand me!

All in all, this "catch the turtle in the urn" plan has been finalized.

Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan, who worked relatively hard in the whole plan, did not complain about this. Hu Tiehua was able to drink a few jars of Baihong wine, and Ji Bingyan bought a bunch of things from the market in Baiyun City in the past two days. My son happened to be tidy up and was going to reorganize the storage space in the cabin, so going to the sea for a while was just as he liked.

After Lin Chaoying confirmed that they were willing to cooperate, she immediately started making masks for the people who would pretend to be him and A Liu.

Because he is too familiar with his own appearance, he made his own picture very quickly, and it only took half a day to complete it;

But for A Liu's picture, he did it three times in a row and was not satisfied, saying it didn't look like it.

Looking at the effects of the three discarded masks on other people, Ah Liu felt that his requirements were really high enough, because from her own point of view, they were already very similar. Standing there, even There is an illusion of looking in a mirror.

"That's because the person wearing the mask isn't smiling." Lin Chaoying said, "But Ah Chu, out of twelve hours a day, you're probably smiling nine of the time."

A Liu was stunned, and subconsciously fixed the arc on her lips.

The next moment, he got closer again, carefully examined her facial features, and finally made a judgment: "If you don't smile, you won't look like you, I have to make a mask that the person wearing it can also smile like you Just do it."

A Liu can probably understand this kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, Ji Bingyan also has tidying addiction.

So she thought about it and asked, "Then is there anything I can do to help?"

Lin Chaoying stared at her for a while, and said, if you don't mind, can I touch your face?

His reason is naturally quite reasonable: "Only in this way can I better grasp the radians of the mask."

Ah Liu: "..." Forget it, help others to send the Buddha to the west, just touch it.

Aliu nodded.

Seeing that she agreed, Lin Chaoying immediately let out a sigh of relief, and then directly raised his hand to caress her face.

He used the sword all the year round, and his palms had very obvious sword cocoons.

When such a hand landed on her face, the touch was quite rough, and when it moved up and down, it even scratched her face a little painfully, but considering that he was working hard to make a mask, A Liu never dodged in the slightest, Let him touch this face all over again.

At the end of the caress, he seemed to realize that his sword cocoon was a bit rough compared to her face, so he quickly withdrew his hand and apologized: "Sorry, I should be lighter."

A Liu: "It's okay, it's okay."

"But your face is blushed." He was really sorry.

The two of them were standing very close to each other, and their breaths were intertwined while talking, and then they were stared at so seriously by him.For a while, Ah Liu also felt a little embarrassed.

She turned her eyes away slightly, and said, "It's okay, this is to make the mask more like it."

"Well, now I know how to adjust." He laughed, and his eyes flashed with confidence again.

"That's good!" Ah Liu thought it was worth it.

The fourth mask that Lin Chaoying made according to her face was very successful. After it was finished, people put it on, and the corners of her lips curled up, which even stunned Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan.

Hu Tiehua rubbed his eyes: "This is too similar, it's just Lao Chu himself, right Lao Ji?"

Ji Bingyan: "It is indeed very similar."

After saying this, he looked at Lin Chaoying again, and became a little more probing.

What a smart person Lin Chaoying is, you can tell at a glance, Ji Bingyan is curious about where he learned his skills, and by the way, he is curious about his origin.

Fortunately, these things are nothing to be shy about for him. He simply explained straight to the point: "This mask-making ability was actually taught to me by someone else. That person used to be very famous in the Jianghu. I wonder if you have heard of it. Pass."

Ji Bingyan: "Who?"

Lin Chaoying said he was called a little child prodigy.

"Isn't the little child prodigy dead?!" Ji Bingyan was startled, but he had indeed heard of this name before.

"Yes, he was scrupulous because of his well-made mask. Since he was 15 years old, he has been hunted and killed almost all the time." Lin Chaoying explained, "The last time he was hunted and killed, the person he was looking for was called Bloody Hand's killer Du Sha, Du Sha is fierce and decisive, he is not an opponent at all, I happened to pass by, I couldn't see this kind of thing, so I helped him and temporarily repelled Du Sha."

A Liu: "..."

She was still thinking about why she felt that the name of the little prodigy was a bit familiar, and whether she was also a key character who appeared in the original book, but when she heard the bloody hand Du Sha, she fell into a deep speechless—oh, why is there still such a world? The scene of the peerless double pride!

Fortunately, few people in Jianghu knew about this matter, so Lin Chaoying was not surprised or doubted by her shocked look, he just continued: "After defeating Du Sha, I found out that the little prodigy His internal injuries are beyond cure, even if Du Sha doesn't come to kill him anymore, he will die soon."

"But he was still grateful to me, so he gave me the letter that recorded his mask-making know-how. I didn't want to accept it, but he said, in fact, he still has a younger sister. His last wish before he died was to hope His younger sister can live a stable and peaceful life, and by giving me the letter, she has the intention of entrusting this matter to me, and hopes that I can promise him."

A Liu: "Then you agreed."

Lin Chaoying nodded: "Yes, I agree."

"What about his sister?" Hu Tiehua was the most inquisitive when listening to gossip, "Is it okay now?"

"Very good." Lin Chaoying laughed, "Although when I found her, she had already fallen into the hands of human traffickers, but she is a very smart little girl, not only ran away from human traffickers, but also saved two other A little girl about her age, I chose a trustworthy nunnery in the south of the Yangtze River, and temporarily fostered the three of them there."

With Lin Chaoying's prudence in doing things, if he said he could be trusted, then he must be really trustworthy.

Hearing this, A Liu was moved, and admired him even more for a moment: "How many other deeds do you have of eliminating the strong, helping the weak, punishing the evil and promoting the good?"

"I just get angry more easily." Lin Chaoying was very modest, with a smile on her face, "Sometimes I see something that really violates my principles, and I just can't help getting angry."

This time, he found that all parties who were spying on Baiyun City still hadn't given up their minds, so he naturally became angry again.

Fortunately, all the preparations that should be done now are complete, and only the last step is left.

Early the next morning, Ji Bingyan and Hu Tiehua took people to the place where the boat was parked outside the city as planned, and made a gesture that their group was about to leave.

After all, they had only stayed in Baiyun City for less than six days, so they suddenly left at this moment, and everyone in the city was inevitably curious.

Some people were curious that the news in the plan of "go to find the sword for Ye Shaocheng Lord, and come back to live after finding it" can be spread smoothly.

In addition, before boarding the boat, the City Lord's Mansion also sent attendants and several altars of white rainbow wine. By the time Ah Liu's boat left the pier, almost the entire Baiyun City knew that "Young City Lord's division is going to wait for a while." Get away for a while" thing.

While Mrs. Ye's two most trusted confidantes pretended to be Lin Chaoying and A Liu, they also put on masks and pretended to be these two confidantes, swaggering in and out of Baiyun City, making everything look calm and as before .

"Since this group of people have the patience to spend three years knocking so many nails in, they will probably be very cautious before doing it."

In the city lord's mansion, Ah Liu, who sent away the two bamboo horses, saw Mrs. Ye's worried face, and couldn't help but analyze, and advised her to relax for the time being, "So at least today, they won't do anything, you don't have to worry too much. worry."

"And even if there is, with me and Ah Chu around, they can't do anything to your mother and son." After experiencing Xue Xiaoren's incident, Lin Chaoying was quite confident in the power of the two of them working together.

Mrs. Ye was very moved and said that she didn't know how to thank them.

Ah Liu waved his hand: "No need to thank you. Although I don't get angry very often, I can't stand seeing others bullying orphans and widows."

Mrs. Ye: "But—"

"If you are really sorry, wait until the matter is over, and give my friend a few jars of wine."

Ah Liu has now accepted his fate of begging for food and raising bamboo horses, touched his nose and sighed, "He really likes Baihong wine."

"Naturally." Mrs. Ye agreed without hesitation.

For the next few days, the city was peaceful.

But both Ah Liu and Lin Chaoying knew that this was a harbinger of the coming storm.

Seven days later, everything went as usual, and it was the night of the full moon.

The city defense, which had always been orderly, opened the city gate at the climax of the moon, which alarmed other people who were not on duty tonight.

Then, the group of people who were supposed to guard the safety of Baiyun City day and night naturally had internal strife. During the dispute, some people loyal to Baiyun City tried to close the city gate first, but found that they did not know when, three years ago, they ganged up and killed each other. The rest of the South Sea sword sects who have been to Feixian Island once came again.

And unlike the last time when only some young disciples were sent separately, this time it was actually the heads of the major sword sects who came in person!

"Get out of the way if you are sensible, or try my sword!"

The visitor was so arrogant that he didn't even have to look directly at those who were trying to close the city gate. After speaking, he stepped in without hesitation.

But the next moment, they stopped in their tracks.

Because suddenly there was a sword in front of them!

Under the moonlight, the cold light of the sword reflected their astonished expressions.

But the owner of the sword was not surprised at all, even Yu Yu smiled at them and said: "Okay, then I will try your sword."

As soon as these words came out, the head of the sect who ordered people to move away trembled for a moment, and then his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost: "You...you...you are not—"

"I'm sorry, but I didn't leave." Lin Chaoying flicked her wrist, and thrust out the first sword, "I've been waiting here for you all the time."

Speaking of this, of course this group of people also understand that they have become a turtle in their urn at this moment.

But it's all here, even if you turn around and leave now, the boy who is only double ten in front of you can't pretend nothing happened, so why not give it a go!

If everyone combined their efforts to completely eliminate this person, wouldn't there be no future troubles?

People make money and birds die for food. At this point, they are already on the verge of riding a tiger. With such a mood, they immediately calmed down, and then quickly dispersed to surround Lin Chaoying. Those nails gave a death order, telling them to guard against other little shrimps.

But when the order was spoken, no one responded!

Just when they were terrified by this and didn't know what happened, under the bright moonlight, there was a touch of blue suddenly.

It was a long and thin figure, when it fell from the air, its movements were as light as a feather, and until the "feather" completely fell to the ground, they didn't hear the slightest sound.

Seeing their utterly sluggish expressions, Aliu had a strange smile on his lips, and said slowly, "Sorry, I just tapped their acupoints, so I'm afraid I can't help you at this moment."

How can it be?Everyone's first reaction was this, but the unpredictable lightness kungfu and the silence around them told them that it was indeed true.
