Chapter 57: True and False...... (3rd Update)
Chong Huan finally became the honorary elder of the Lingxu clan, although there is a word for reputation, but after all, he is tightly tied to the Lingxu clan, which is also a matter of mind for the old patriarch.
Chongyun, who had been watching the drama in a group of people, whispered to Lin Xiu with a strange face: "This old patriarch's acting skills can simply be crowned emperor! ”
Lin Xiu's face was not as relaxed as the others, he looked extremely solemn at this moment, he raised his eyebrows when he heard Chongyun's words, then turned his head, stared at the other party with burning eyes, and said softly, "You think it's fake?"
Chongyun was stunned suddenly, and after a moment, he asked with a look of disbelief, "Is it difficult or really not?"
Lin Xiu shook his head slowly, looking extremely emotional, and only after a moment did he sigh lightly and muttered, "This old patriarch really has good intentions for the Lingxu Clan." ”
Chongyun carefully tasted Lin Xiu's words, then slowly opened his eyes, and said in an extremely shocked tone, "You mean, he is really ready to cut himself?"
Lin Xiu nodded heavily and said, "If it's not true, with an old Jianghu like the Third Elder, do you think he can't see it and will choose to compromise in the end?"
"But," Chongyun said with shock written on his face, "why did he do that?"
Lin Xiu was silent for a while, raised his head to the sky, and muttered, "Just like the Third Elder and your father, he is indeed worthy of respect for selflessly dedicating everything to his clansmen. ”
He knew that the Lingxu Clan had been isolated from the world for many years, and now it was weak and difficult to support alone. He was going to tie me up on their ship, but the alliance was self-defeating, and now he can only say anything else if he first obtains the forgiveness of the outside clansmen and unites the entire Lingxu clan first. ”
Chongyun looked extremely surprised, and after a moment, he asked puzzledly, "But if he uses such a means to persecute the Third Elder, he is not afraid of backfire?"
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid!" Lin Xiu said in a deep voice, "That's why he is really ready to apologize for his crimes, and the three elders must have realized this, and finally chose to forgive." Hey, that's a relatively happy situation. ”
Chongyun took a deep breath, and after a while, she slowly spit out, and she still said with a sigh on her face, "You men, it's really complicated and incomprehensible. It's a simple thing, but it has to be scared and frightened. ”
Lin Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps, this is the nature of men who like to pursue excitement!"
Lin Xiu's words fell, but Chongyun didn't know where to go, and after a while, he took a sip and gave Lin Xiu a big white eye.
However, although the old patriarch seemed to be dizzy, he seemed to hear Lin Xiu's words, and glanced at him thoughtfully, his eyes full of indescribable deep meaning.
Next, Lin Xiu explained the current situation to everyone, although it was a little different from what everyone had imagined before, but whether it was the relationship between Chong Xuan or the promise of the demon spirit, the Spirit Void Clan still decided to continue to implement the original choice, which was to fully assist Lin Xiu.
This made Lin Xiu feel very satisfied.
He immediately put forward a proposal to divide the troops into two routes, one was to lead the Lingxu tribesmen by the old patriarch and Chonghuan, and went to the northwest to help Liantian Tower retreat from the enemy.
On the other hand, the people selected by Lin Xiu and the Spirit Void Clan to obtain the quota of devouring demons and gathering spirits went to obtain demon spirits.
There are a total of five people, all of whom are the peak powerhouses of the Rain-Covered Realm.
Now that the powerhouses of the Heaven Listening Realm have disappeared, most of the supremes are concentrated near the Liantian Tower, and sometimes the five Rain-Covered Realm Protectors Lin Xiu can be regarded as a relatively luxurious lineup.
However, to Lin Xiu's surprise, Chongyun said that he wanted to go back to the Shenxu Canyon to get something, and he must follow Lin Xiu there.
Lin Xiu wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, he was stunned by the words of the three elders Chong Xuan and the old patriarch, and he inexplicably chose to agree.
When I came to my senses and wanted to repent, I saw nearly 100 pairs of burning eyes around me, and I couldn't say anything about repentance.
Everyone drank to their heart's content that night, and on the second day, the soldiers divided into two routes, one to the northwest and the other to the southwest
A few days later, in an inn
"Two guest officers, what do you want to eat?" Xiao Er, who ran the hall, looked like a capable person, and saw that Lin Xiu and Chongyun had an extraordinary bearing despite being dusty, so he hurriedly wiped the table that had been wiped clean again.
Lin Xiu replied, "Just pick up some side dishes that you are good at, and give us a pot of tea by the way." ”
Xiao Er bent down and asked respectfully, "Don't the two guest officers taste the wine of the shop?"
Lin Xiu smiled and said, "No need, just serve us clear tea, and there will be people who drink later." ”
Although he was very puzzled by Lin Xiu's words, he didn't say much, and immediately shouted, "Okay, two guest officers, please wait a moment." A pot of tea, a set of side dishes. ”
After Xiao Er left, Chongyun said in a low voice, "You still let them drink? The five of them are like dying when they see the wine, aren't you afraid of any accidents at that time?"
Lin Xiu smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk themselves, and they are happy, so let them drink well." Besides, do you think these wines can really get the masters of the Rain-Covered Realm drunk?"
Chongyun stared at Lin Xiu for a while, and said leisurely, "You are quite good at thinking about others, this way is wine and meat, delicious and delicious, shhhhhhhh Hmph, I think this trip back, these four people will become your loyal subordinates. You just let them kill the old patriarch, and I guess they won't blink an eye. ”
Lin Xiu hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have that kind of thought. ”
Chongyun rolled his eyes and said, "No idea, it's more terrifying." Some people try their best to get others to work for him, but it's good for you to hold people's hearts firmly in your hands without making a sound. People like you are generally born emperors. ”
Lin Xiu cried and laughed, "I said, can you not be cynical, this way is the patriarch, the alliance leader, and the emperor, I don't seem to have offended you!"
Chongyun said indignantly, "Did I say you offended me?" Hmph, I think you think you have a ghost in your heart to think so. ”
Lin Xiu's face stiffened slightly, and he laughed dryly twice unnaturally, ready to end this topic that was extremely unfavorable to him in this way.
Chongyun turned his head and muttered to himself, "Hmph, other people have only known each other for a few days, so they can serve wine and meat, and I haven't even seen a meat until now." ”
Lin Xiu was shocked when he heard this, and his face was instantly full of grievances. The conscience of heaven and earth, at the beginning, Chongyun told Lin Xiu that she didn't take meat and didn't eat alcohol. Now it's up to others to blame.
But Lin Xiu was wronged, but he never dared to say it, he knew that reasoning with a woman, and the most miserable person in the end must be himself.
Seeing Lin Xiu's aggrieved face, but he was silent, Chongyun was even more angry. Obviously, what she really wanted to express Lin Xiu didn't understand
She snorted coldly, slammed the teacup in her hand on the table, and said angrily, "Xiao Er, why hasn't the tea come yet?"
Although the sound of the wine glass falling on the table was crisp, it was not too obvious in this noisy environment, but even if she was angry, her voice was still as pleasant as that of the Izuya oriole, which immediately made the noise in the store instantly quiet.
Everyone looked at Chongyun in unison, originally just a sneak peek, but at this time, they could finally be blatant
Lin Xiu suddenly realized something, frowned and said, "Where's your light yarn?"
Chongyun replied indifferently, "It was blown away by the wind"
Lin Xiu secretly said "Fatal", Chongyun was still worried about others drinking and causing trouble, but she didn't know that her own appearance was the biggest source of trouble.
In the rivers and lakes, most of the grievances are inseparable from three things: divine weapons, martial arts cheats and women.
Although Lin Xiu was not afraid of things, he was not a person who liked to be troublesome, he glanced at the wolf-like eyes around him, and said in a low voice, "Why don't we change to eat!"
An imperceptible deep meaning appeared in Chongyun's eyes, and he glanced at Lin Xiu and said, "Why do you want to change it?" Besides, where are there other inns near here, if you want to change it, I won't change it." ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiu frowned secretly.
Suddenly, a voice sounded ill-intentioned, "That's good, this friend, the girl doesn't want to, so why should you be reluctant? You better go first." ”
Lin Xiu frowned and looked up at the person who spoke on the second floor of the inn.
The other party was richly dressed, holding a folding fan, and he was handsome, and there were several people dressed as guards behind him, and at first glance he was a powerful son of a rich family.
It's just that the other party's eyes at this time are very disgusting.
Feeling that unscrupulous gaze, Chongyun frowned slightly, but soon stretched out again, and she whispered to Lin Xiu, "Did you hear that, they let you go first!"
Lin Xiu smiled bitterly and sighed lightly, "Red face and troubled water, it's really red face and bad water."
Chongyun glared at him, but didn't speak.
This look of anger made the people around look straight, but Lin Xiu found one thing, that is, after everyone saw the young man upstairs, there seemed to be some fear in their eyes.
It seems that the other party has some background.
While the two were talking, the young man had already walked downstairs, but seeing that Lin Xiu was silent and didn't move, he closed the folding fan in his hand with a "snap", and his face was a little unhappy. The guard behind him immediately said, "Boy, my young master Pei told you to get out, are you lost?"
Lin Xiu was still silent, and the old god played with the teacup in his hand comfortably. For this kind of goods, now he can stretch out his hand and shoot a pile to death.
The young man's face changed, and before he could speak, a guard behind him immediately rolled up his sleeves as if he wanted to make a move.
However, the young man was not a reckless person, Lin Xiu's calmness made him vigilant, he stretched out his hand to stop the other party, looked at Lin Xiu again for a while, and asked cautiously, "Pei Yuheng, the young master of the Lower Qinghai Gate, has not yet consulted the two of you who are friends on that road?"
Seeing that Lin Xiu didn't talk immediately, Pei Yuheng's face changed slightly, but he still smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I like to make friends the most, my Qinghai Gate can still speak in this territory of hundreds of miles, if you two need help, you might as well speak." ”
Lin Xiu said softly, "Thank you, you don't need it!"
Hearing this, Pei Yuheng's face was completely gloomy
