Tibetan Sea Pearl

Chapter 245 Trapped by the Rain

Master Xie was a little anxious, looked at the girl behind him, and then at the sky.

It's a bad day, it might rain heavily.

Fortunately, the girl reminded them in advance, so they didn't spend the night in the valley.

Whether the girl is gifted or a genius, how can she tell that it will rain at night without any warning.

Master Xie withdrew his gaze, shook his head, he didn't want to think about it, the most important thing was to hurry.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Even if they were wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, it didn't work. They all drenched as if they had just been fished out of the water.

At this time, the gate of the city has not yet opened, so Su Yue suggested to find a nearby inn to stay first.

Master Xie didn't say anything, this is the best, as long as you don't go to the post station, these bodyguards usually avoid the post station when they walk the darts, and it is very troublesome to deal with the government.

It just so happened that what this girl was looking for was an official whose surname seemed to be Lin.

Master Lin, I don’t know if it’s the Master Lin he knows, the prefect of Guangzhou.

In the dark night, Master Xie felt that his thoughts became slow. Who is the prefect of Guangzhou? Many people know him, including girls, but it is hard to say whether the prefect Lin knows her or not.

A girl jumped up on a pole.

Incredible.

Master Xie looked at the layers of rain and fog ahead, with a faint smile.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, but the sudden and heavy rain dilutes people's joy for it.

Many people were trapped by the rain.

A post house, still lit, looked lonely in the spring night.

Those are the postmen guarding the station. This is an official post, with armaments and horses, and someone will come to stay or change horses at any time.

At this time, there were only two old men guarding the gatehouse, both with their heads down, guarding the fire.

"It's been raining for a few days, and no one has come," said one of them.

The other person dozed off, couldn't hear what the person was saying clearly, and responded in a daze.

"You bastard, don't go to sleep." He was very dissatisfied, and kicked the person hard, "Every time you are on duty, you sleep..."

Before he could finish his words, a gust of wind mixed with water vapor hit him, and at the same time, a hand pressed down on his shoulder.

"Old ghost, what are you doing?" His tone was very displeased, he turned his head to look at the person next to him, and when he saw clearly, he was completely stunned, as if he had seen a ghost.

The dozing man was kicked suddenly and almost fell off the chair.

"You, who are you?" The man called the old ghost stammered.

"Stop talking nonsense and be your job." The visitor said succinctly.

All the postmen guarding the station came back to their senses, startled, afraid and dared not move.

My dear, what brought these ancestors here.

The lanterns under the eaves were swaying in the wind and rain, everything remained the same, if the faces of the people in the house were not pale, it seemed that nothing had happened.

The sound didn't disturb too many people. A few black people sneaked into the night like cats and headed for the backyard.

The backyard is where the lodgers live.

The two postmen didn't speak, they just looked at each other and huddled together trembling.

I don't know who will suffer tonight.

……

A brocade guard stopped at the door of a guest room and gestured to his companion.

As a partner with tacit cooperation, you don't need to talk to others, just giving them a look is enough.

With a "bang", the door of the room collapsed like a rotten wood, and fell to the ground with a loud noise.

I thought the person on the bed would jump up like a frightened bird.

What is surprising is that there is no other sound in the room except them.

It is impossible for a person to fall asleep like this, unless?

"Is he dead?" a Jin Yiwei asked in a low voice.

Another person laughed when he heard it, "It would be better to die, so we don't have to do it."

Holding embroidered spring knives in their hands, the two approached step by step.

The bed curtains hung silently, and the bedding was bulging, as if the owner of the bed was still sleeping with his head covered.

The sharp knife was aimed at the position of the bedding doll and stabbed, one knife after another rained down, almost crazy.

This is what they are used to, and they have never made a mistake. It can be described as perfect.

But today something doesn't feel right, it doesn't feel right.

One person reached out and lifted the quilt, revealing a human figure rolled up under it, and there was no one on the bed.

"Grass!" said one angrily.

The other person had the same expression, "Let him run away."

……

In the violent storm, Lin Cheng ran forward with his servants, gradually leaving the station behind.

Because of the rain, he had been stuck here for two days, but he didn't expect to be killed.

"Master, it's raining too much." Yunshan shouted, "I can't go at all."

Lin Cheng didn't look back, "If you can't go, you have to go."

If you don't leave, those people will catch up.

Although the old man was old and frail, he didn't say anything anymore, and followed Lin Cheng closely.

The rain was indeed too heavy, and he could feel the rain penetrating through the coir raincoat. His face was sore from the rain, and Lin Cheng gritted his teeth.

Jin Yiwei is everywhere, escaped the catastrophe just now, what will be waiting in front of him?It was as if a net had been laid ahead, as if as long as he was alive, he would not be able to escape from their grasp.

Lin Cheng took a deep breath.

But Huo Sanye didn't dare to do anything to him, because he was the son of Li Zongbing, the general soldier of Yulin.

It seems that this time he will have to rely on his father's glory.

Lin Cheng smiled at the night sky.

The most important thing now is to see my father.

He received an express letter at the post station today, saying that Li Zongbing had set off from Yulin and was going to Beijing.

There is an order from the imperial court that the generals are not allowed to enter Beijing unless they are called.

The reason Li Zongbing came to Beijing this time was to ask for a seal for his dead son-in-law.

Hearing the news of the death of Vice General Liang, the emperor was also very sad, and sympathized with Li Zongbing's white-haired man and his black-haired man.

Lin Cheng held the rein in his hand and looked ahead with distant eyes.

Vice General Liang died, and he couldn't just die like this for nothing, let alone make a wedding dress for others.

The old man knew that Lin Cheng was eager to go home because he was homesick.

"Speaking of which, the young master has been working as an official outside, and he hasn't been back for a long time." The old man said behind him.

Lin Cheng turned his head, "The last time I went back was two years ago when my term of office expired last time."

These are all unavoidable things, who asked Lin Cheng to let him go.

Who wants to live a good life? However, being an official outside, in fact, the real happiness is to find an official position in the capital, under the shadow of the family.

He is only in his 20s, but he is not as relaxed as a young man of this age. He has too much burden on him.

There are personal feuds, family feuds, and even more.

The old man looked at him kindly, "Master, is he going back to the northwest or the capital this time?"

"Go back to the capital." Lin Cheng said.

The Lin family also had their own house in the capital, which was bestowed by the late Emperor. Li Zongbing had been working in the northwest. Although the house was vacant, servants were left to clean and guard it.Ever since he knew that his father was going to Beijing, Lin Cheng also changed his mind and didn't go back to the northwest.

"This can be regarded as the reunion of father and son." The old man sighed.
