Lin Pingzhi's exclamation attracted a lot of people's attention.
His face was filled with anxiety, and he didn't care about the strange looks from others.
Gao Yao laughed: "Brother Lin still doesn't understand. Now that you have stepped into the tavern, even if it is a big deal, it is not worth mentioning now!"
His reminder did make Lin Pingzhi feel a little relieved, but the worry on his face remained.
Before coming to the tavern, he happened to be out hunting with a few escort leaders.
In front of a tavern, he ran into a young man molesting a decent woman in broad daylight and accidentally beat him to death.
The existence of the tavern had originally made his anxiety fade away, but he was unexpectedly awakened by Dongfang Bubai's words.
The man's surname was Yu, and the woman he flirted with was very ugly. Wasn't she the son of Yu Canghai he mentioned?
He didn't know the strength of the Qingcheng Sect, but killing the son of their leader would inevitably lead to a situation of life and death!
Yu Huatian looked at his expression and asked, "Brother Lin, can you tell me in detail what happened?"
Lin Pingzhi's story was told in great detail.
It was after burying the body that he received an invitation from the tavern and came here.
After listening to what he said one by one, several people looked at Dongfang Bubai again.
Being looked at with expectant eyes, Dongfang Bubai felt a little embarrassed.
He only had a brief understanding of it at the time, but was not very clear about the specific situation.
“Although they are just a few younger members of the Qingcheng Sect and their martial arts skills are mediocre, your Lin family has no power to resist them.” Dongfang Bubai said.
She added some details that she had roughly understood.
"I have to go back and tell my father that we must prepare in advance!" Lin Pingzhi stood up suddenly.
Gao Yao reached out and grabbed him, smiling, "This matter is not urgent."
Seeing Lin Pingzhi's look, he pointed to the wine list and said, "As long as you have enough gold, exchange it for some time-space coins, and then buy a few glasses of fine wine to improve your strength, can those people still be considered a threat?"
Lin Pingzhi was stunned for a moment and felt that it made sense.
"Even if I can't exchange for something too valuable, I can always ask for help." Gao Yao pointed at his nose and said, "If you don't mind, I can go for a walk!"
Dongfang Bubai smiled sweetly: "Call me Sister Dongfang, and I can help you too!"
Yu Huatian followed suit.
A "ticket" of one hundred time and space coins is nothing to them.
They are happy to have the opportunity to make friends with a new guest.
After hearing their words, Lin Pingzhi's worries gradually dissipated.
He thanked them and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but this matter was caused by me after all, I want to try to solve it myself first!"
Seeing that he was unwilling to accept the favor, they were not surprised.
They had long seen that Lin Pingzhi was young and arrogant, so such a reaction was understandable.
"Then you better hurry up," Dongfang Bubai said, "If I remember correctly, they will start to attack everyone from your Fuwei Escort Agency one by one starting tonight, and the first ones to bear the brunt will be the ones traveling with you."
The faces of Bai Er, Zheng Biaotou, Shi Biaotou and others flashed through Lin Pingzhi's mind, and his expression became much more serious.
He didn't want to drag a few people down and let them get hurt because of him.
"There is another thing," Dongfang Bubai said, "The Qingcheng Sect's attack on your Lin family was planned in advance. Their real target is your Lin family's Sword Manual of Exorcism. When I saw it..."
Lin Pingzhi suddenly realized.
I originally thought that I had implicated the Lin family, but now it seems that is not the case.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the guilt in his heart faded a lot.
Gao Yao stood up and said with a smile: "I will show Brother Lin around here so that you can get an idea of this place."
"Thank you!" Lin Pingzhi said.
Looking at those fine wines, treasures, and hero orders, his heart was filled with excitement and he felt more confident.
When he heard that gold could be exchanged for time-space coins, he felt even more relieved.
The Lin family is very wealthy and has a lot of gold.
When he goes back and reports this to his father, he can also exchange some from other merchants in Fuzhou City. This will surely be enough to buy a bottle of fine wine that will transform him and allow him to easily defeat his enemies.
Just as he was thinking about how to get more gold, he suddenly heard Gao Yao say, "Brother Lin, have you ever thought about what you will do in the future now that you have such an opportunity?"
Lin Pingzhi paused and pondered.
He really hadn't thought seriously about the future.
However, the threat from the Qingcheng Sect did not seem to be a problem, and relying on the opportunities he had in the tavern, not to mention becoming the top master in the world, even cultivating immortality would not be a problem.
By then, the business of Fuwei Escort Agency would be able to easily expand beyond the current several provinces and spread across the country, and even do business with those barbarians, right?
Gao Yao smiled and said, "Brother Lin, even if you want to be the emperor, it must be easy for you to do so!"
emperor!
These two words made Lin Pingzhi's expression freeze.
He thought about it carefully and agreed.
He suddenly realized that his earlier thoughts were too naive.
I am a person who can deal with gods, why would I need to escort? After a moment, his expression became hesitant: "Although the world is not peaceful nowadays, it cannot be called turmoil. If I rebel rashly, I am afraid it will be a disaster for the people!"
There are gods here. What if they don't like his behavior? Besides, he never thought of becoming an emperor.
"I think it's not bad to be a free and unrestrained immortal," he added.
Yu Huatian stood up, walked to his side, raised his head and said: "If you are successful, you should help the world. Since you have walked through the world, you should bring something to the people of the world, right?"
Lin Pingzhi frowned in thought.
"It's not bad to be a national teacher," Gao Yao walked to the other side of him and said with a smile, "Take me for example, I am now the national teacher of the Great Qin!"
Lin Pingzhi's eyes lit up and he thought this was a good idea.
Yu Huatian put his hands behind his back and said coldly, "Using the emperor as a puppet, becoming a true god in the world, and bringing light to the people, is there anything more interesting than this?"
Lin Pingzhi's eyes flickered, and he was ready to make a move.
As a man, he naturally has the ambition to do something big.
In the past, his sights were limited to the Fuwei Escort Agency, and he thought about making the business bigger and stronger after taking over from his father.
Now that I think about it, what could be more exciting than ruling the world?
Becoming a national teacher and controlling the emperor, it sounds exciting! "In this case, all the gold in the world will be mine?" This thought suddenly popped up in Lin Pingzhi's mind.
He realized that exchanging gold with others was too much trouble.
Instead of doing this, why not first use the gold stored at home to strengthen your strength, and then borrow from other businesses or even the government?
If he could collect enough 1,000 Spacetime Coins to buy Iron Man's suit, he could fly directly to the capital and use all the gold in the national treasury! He clenched his fists, his face flushed, and he felt that the future was promising!
Zhu Youjian listened to the conversation between the few people and his face looked unhappy.
As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he found that the ancestors in the other world were really difficult.
When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang drinking with Li Bai and looking contented, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If only I had the same magnanimity as Taizu and didn't care about it.
It’s still because I haven’t cultivated my state of mind enough.
Could it be that I too would become a beggar for a while?
…
Lin Pingzhi returned to his original world.
As soon as he appeared, he heard Bai Er's voice.
"Young Escort Captain, why are you here? We thought you were missing, you scared us to death!"
Lin Pingzhi turned his head and looked at the porter of the Fuwei Escort Agency, a trace of trance flashed across his face.
He closed his eyes slightly, and when he found that the space-time tavern's sensitivity was still very close, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He smiled and said, "I've been here all along. Where are the others? Let's go back quickly!"
Bai Er looked at Lin Pingzhi's expression and showed some surprise.
Not long ago, they accidentally killed a man in the tavern. The young escort leader was clearly panicked, so how could he act as if nothing had happened in such a short while? Noticing the unconcealed surprise in Lin Pingzhi's eyes, he became more and more confused.
Could it be that the young escort leader was a natural born devil, and this accidental killing awakened his potential? "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Lin Pingzhi, who was walking to the front, suddenly looked back.
"Here it comes!" Bai Er said hurriedly.
He patted his head and felt that he was really too full.
He knew very well what kind of person the young escort leader was. He was probably pretending to be like this now.
A man from western Sichuan, who is neither literate nor martial, and speaks in a vulgar manner, must not be a powerful person. He might even be a rioting bandit, so he can be killed! The two of them returned to the tavern one after the other.
Zheng Biao and his men had already dealt with the body and were now giving the shop owner and his grandson a lecture.
Seeing Lin Pingzhi coming, several people hurriedly saluted him.
Lin Pingzhi's gaze was on the ugly girl and her grandfather, Old Man Sa.
The two men claimed that they wanted to return to their roots and bought the tavern from the predecessor, old man Cai.
Originally he had no doubts about him, but when he thought of Dongfang Bubai's words, a hint of scrutiny appeared in his eyes.
Earlier, when Dongfang Bubai rescued his "parents" from another world, they happened to be captured by those villains from the Qingcheng Sect.
According to what she said, "she" was rescued by a pair of Huashan disciples who disguised themselves as grandfather and grandson.
One of them is Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple of Huashan Sect, whose talent and character are highly praised by Dongfang Bubai.
The other person is Yue Lingshan, the daughter of Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect. She disguises herself as an ugly girl, but she is very beautiful and is only slightly inferior to her.
Lin Pingzhi doesn't think there are such coincidences in the world.
Why did the two of them appear here? Like the Qingcheng Sect, was it for the Lin family's Sword Manual of Exorcism?
Or did they discover the unusual movements of the Qingcheng Sect and come for them?
But no matter what the two men's intentions were, they did not hurt him in the end, and they even saved another self in disguise, so he could not say that he had any ill feelings towards them.
Seeing that Chief Shi greeted him and then spoke to the two men in a way that was half threatening and half tempting, Lin Pingzhi suddenly had an idea and walked straight forward.
He bowed to the two of them and said, "I have always heard that Huashan Sect is righteous and its leader Yue Buqun is known as a gentleman. Now Qingcheng Sect is plotting to seize my Lin family's ancestral martial arts, the Sword of Exorcism, and has sent people to provoke me..."
His words made the escort leaders and porters around him look stunned.
What Huashan Sect, Qingcheng Sect, what is the young escort leader talking about? They thought their young escort leader had gone mad.
Old man Sa, who had been hunching over, gradually straightened up.
His face remained the same as always, still looking old and frail, but his tone was no longer as timid as before, and he sounded full of energy. He laughed loudly and said, "Did you figure it out?"
Everyone changed color.
Escort Captains Zheng and Shi drew their weapons subconsciously.
Lin Pingzhi waved his hand, signaling them not to worry.
He smiled at the old man in front of him and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are the famous disciple of Huashan Sect, Young Master Linghu Chong, right?"
"How did you recognize my senior brother?" A clear and pleasant voice sounded.
Several people looked at the girl in green who raised her head.
Her face was still as bumpy and ugly as a dustpan, but her aura suddenly changed, as if she had transformed from a country girl into a pampered female hero! Zheng Biaotou and his men clenched their swords and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Of course someone told me," Lin Pingzhi said with a confident expression as if everything was under control. "The man I killed was the son of Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect. He was a famous family in the martial arts world, but I never thought he could be so filthy!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Shi Biaotou exclaimed, "Young Biaotou, you said that scoundrel is Yu Canghai's son?"
Lin Pingzhi smiled but said nothing.
Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan looked at each other, equally surprised.
They could see that Lin Pingzhi's martial arts skills were mediocre, but his insight surpassed them all.
Is there really a master behind him?
"What do you want to do?" Linghu Chong asked.
"I killed Yu Canghai's son, and he will definitely use this as an excuse to attack my Lin family," Lin Pingzhi said, "but the reason behind this is also related to you, so I would like to ask for your help."
Seeing the two of them exchanging glances, they were obviously a little hesitant. Lin Pingzhi said, "Of course, I won't let you fight in vain. As long as you two help our Lin family resist for two or three days, I will lend my Lin family's Sword Manual of Exorcism to Huashan Sect for a look!"
"Young Escort Captain!" Escort Captain Zheng and his men shouted hurriedly.
The Manual of the Sword of Exorcism is the foundation of the Lin family. None of them are qualified to read it, so how can they lend it to others!
Lin Pingzhi shook his head and said, "I will tell my father about this, you don't have to worry."
He said quietly, "Besides, the Sword Manual of Exorcism may not be what people think it is. Having it may not be a good thing."
"It is our duty to help, but forget about the Sword Manual of Exorcism," Linghu Chong said with a smile, "We are not here for your Lin family's Sword Manual of Exorcism!"
Originally, the master had arranged other things for them, but seeing Lin Pingzhi's sincere tone, and the fact that this matter was indeed related to them, he thought about it for a moment and decided to help.
The worst that can happen is that the master will punish me afterwards!
Yue Lingshan glanced at Lin Pingzhi.
She had a good impression of this handsome and chivalrous man.
Even though she felt her father might not agree with this, she nodded and said, "That's right, how can we just stand by and watch!"
The reactions of the two greatly increased Lin Pingzhi's favorability towards them.
He smiled meaningfully: "Thank you very much, but I will definitely not let you suffer any loss!"
