Chapter 182 The Yellow Bird Is Behind

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Lin Jiangnian, dressed in brocade, emerged and looked ahead.

At the end of the official road, which still looked desolate, a small town appeared. The town didn't look big, but it was considered to be inhabited.

Since leaving Xunyang City and heading north, most of the time the road was deserted, and on weekdays, not even a single person could be seen. Occasionally passing through a few small villages, it was also a scene of defeat. The young people in the village had already left home, leaving some lonely and elderly people waiting to die quietly.

"Okay, then let's rest for a night and continue on the road tomorrow."

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand.

"Yes, then I will arrange it now!"

Lin Qingqing bowed her head and responded. When she turned around, she glanced at the carriage from the corner of her eye and saw Sister Zhiyuan sitting in the carriage, looking out the window with a calm face. When she confirmed that Sister Zhiyuan's clothes were normal and there was no strange look on her face, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned and left.

Lin Jiangnian re-entered the carriage and came to Zhiyuan: "There is a small town ahead, shall we rest here for a night?"

Although Zhiyuan had strong internal strength, high martial arts, and good physical fitness, she was still exhausted from the journey. She looked haggard.

Zhiyuan didn't say anything, but just nodded gently.

The carriage slowly approached the town, and the scene in the town gradually came into view.

"Lu Ma Town!"

Lin Jiangnian looked up at the name of the town, a strange name.

The town is not big, but there are many people. After all, it is located next to the official road from the north to Beijing, and there are not few people coming and going. Therefore, Lin Jiangnian's carriage entering the town did not attract much attention.

However, when Lin Jiangnian walked into the town with Zhiyuan and Xiaozhu, he attracted the attention of many people.

Even though Zhiyuan had put on a hat again before entering the town to cover her original appearance, it still couldn't cover up her cold temperament, and her stunning quality could be seen at a glance. In addition, there is the cute and well-behaved Xiaozhu. The two girls follow Lin Jiangnian on the left and right. It is hard not to attract attention.

In addition, Lin Jiangnian is dressed in a brocade mink robe, with a young and handsome face as white as jade, and the innate elegance, which makes him look like a rich and noble young man.

The young man is unparalleled in the world!

As a result, he naturally attracted a lot of attention when he first entered the town, and there were many covetous and greedy eyes.

When you go out to venture into the world, you should keep a low profile. But Lin Jiangnian is such a rich young man, and there are two beautiful girls around him... Others go out to venture into the world and live a hard life of eating and sleeping in the open. Why do you have money and women to accompany you?

There are many complicated people in the town, including merchants, escorts, and all kinds of people who venture into the world. In this remote and desolate town, even the government can't control it, which naturally magnifies the evil thoughts in these people's hearts infinitely.

However, some people just had evil thoughts when they saw several guards following behind this rich young man.

These guards were restrained, their steps were steady, their eyes were bright, especially the swords on their waists, which exuded a bit of coldness and fierceness. It was clear that their martial arts were unfathomable, and they quickly persuaded many people with bad intentions to retreat.

In the martial arts world, the longevity depends on the eyesight.

However, there are naturally some who are not afraid of death and want to be the first bird to stand out. But before they could get close to Lin Jiangnian, they were pressed to the ground by the guards behind them, and then dragged into a small alley...

The action was neat and skillful.

I don’t know what the end will be, but it has intimidated those around and those who have bad intentions in secret, so that they dare not have any other thoughts.

Lin Jiangnian took Zhiyuan and Xiaozhu and stepped into the first inn and restaurant in the town.

The innkeeper was very perceptive. He immediately bowed his head and walked forward with a smile on his face: "Dear guests, do you want to stay overnight or stay in the hotel?"

"Staying in the hotel, the boss will arrange four rooms!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand: "Prepare some more of your signature dishes!"

"Okay, guests, please sit down first!"

The innkeeper greeted them quickly.

Lin Jiangnian nodded, and was about to find a place to sit with Zhiyuan and Xiaozhu. When he turned around, he glanced at the lobby of the inn.

The next second, Lin Jiangnian paused and looked at a corner not far away in the inn.

Zhiyuan beside him noticed Lin Jiangnian's abnormality and followed his line of sight. There were five people sitting in the corner not far away.

Five...some strange people!

Zhiyuan frowned slightly. These five people were a little strange, especially the middle-aged man...his martial arts were not weak.

There was also a familiar aura on his body?

At the same time, the middle-aged man happened to see Lin Jiangnian and his group coming in from outside the door. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared.

Eye contact!

"You look familiar, sir? Have we met before?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at the people in the corner and spoke first.

His expression was neither cold nor indifferent, and there was a kind smile on his face.

But in his heart, he had already understood.

Everyone from the Heavenly God Sect!

These people in front of him were the ones he met in the teahouse in Xunyang City. And they were also the most suspected of the Wang family's extermination.

Yuan Zhongnan was still looking for them all over the world, but he didn't expect them to come here?

It was really... a pleasant surprise? !

Lin Jiangnian didn't show any strange expression on his face.

At the same time, the elder was also very surprised.

He had just learned that the prince of Lin was still alive, and he happened to run into him. It was really a narrow road for enemies.

The elder, whose face was slightly gloomy, quickly realized something... Lin Jiangnian didn't recognize him?

That's right, he has never appeared before, nor has his identity been revealed, so Prince Lin naturally does not recognize him.

Thinking of this, the great elder's thoughts began to wander, and a kind smile appeared on his face: "We just came from Xunyang City, maybe we have met before, right?"

"Xunyang City?"

Lin Jiangnian laughed: "What a coincidence, Ben... we also happened to come from Xunyang City. No wonder we look familiar. I'm afraid I may have met you in Xunyang City before. We are destined!"

"Yes, we are destined!" The elder nodded with a smile.

"Then I won't disturb your dinner, and we can have a drink together when we have the chance!"

Lin Jiangnian smiled boldly and waved his hand. After the elder nodded with a kind smile on his face, he took Zhiyuan and Xiaozhu to the other side and sat down by the window.

At the same time, the bright smile on the great elder's face disappeared instantly and was gone.

He glanced at the table with cold eyes and said in a very low voice: "Gather in the room!"

Several people quickly finished the rice in their bowls, got up and left.

Lin Jiangnian sat by the window and watched with a smile on his face as the group of them left and went upstairs to their room. The smile on his face not only did not diminish, but... became even brighter.

Zhiyuan's eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian's face. He was silent for a moment and then said, "He has murderous intentions towards you."

Lin Jiangnian looked at her and chuckled: "Can you feel this?"

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes: "This person is very dangerous."

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "Is he very powerful?"

"Um."

"Compared to you?"

Zhiyuan was silent for a moment: "I don't know."

Lin Jiangnian thought thoughtfully: "Even you don't know, so I'm afraid this person does have something... I don't know if there will be any accidents."

While he was thinking about it, he heard Zhiyuan's expressionless voice coming from next to him: "No."

"What?" Lin Jiangnian didn't hear clearly.

Zhiyuan glanced at him and turned away: "There will be no accidents!"

Lin Jiangnian was stunned: "Didn't you say you don't know the depth of his martial arts?"

"Um."

"That……"

"I can beat him."

Lin Jiangnian felt a little confused. Wasn't her statement contradictory?

Zhiyuan looked at him calmly, then said seriously and calmly: "He is indeed very powerful."

"But, I can definitely kill him!"

"..."

Inn, second floor.

inside the room.

At the table, the great elder's face was as dark as water: "I didn't expect that Prince Lin Wang is really not dead, and we can meet him here. What a ghost!"

Several people on the side also recognized Prince Lin just now, but did not say anything. Now the Great Elder has gathered them here to discuss this matter.

"Great Elder, what should we do next?"

The Great Elder pondered expressionlessly for a moment, glanced at the table, and said in a deep voice: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... This son of a bitch lives in the same inn as us. In this case, we can find a way to kill him. !”

Some time ago, their plan to assassinate Lin Hengzhong failed, resulting in heavy losses and low morale within the church. Now meeting the prince again, this is a rare good opportunity.

If you can take the opportunity to kill him, you will have done a great service. Even if he can't be killed, if he captures Prince Lin, he might be able to take the opportunity to blackmail Prince Lin and set a trap to lure Lin Hengzhong into taking the bait...

"But there are so many experts around Prince Lin, do we have a chance?" Someone raised an objection.

"How will you know if you don't give it a try?"

The Great Elder said solemnly: "It is indeed rare to have an opportunity in normal times, but tonight he is staying in an inn with us. This is the best opportunity..."

"He doesn't know our identity yet and is not wary of us. This is also our biggest advantage..."

From Lin Jiangnian's reaction just now, the Great Elder concluded that the other party did not know their identities. In this way, deliberately and unintentionally, he took advantage of the silence of the night to raid Prince Lin's room, and before his guards could react, he struck a fatal blow...

The First Elder quickly came up with a plan in his mind, "You all should keep a low profile later, explore the layout of the inn, and find out where Lin Jiangnian lives. Remember to be careful and don't show any chicken feet..."

…

Downstairs, lobby.

"They are members of the Celestial Cult."

Lin Jiangnian approached Zhiyuan and explained softly.

"The Celestial Cult?"

Zhiyuan recited the name silently in her mind, seemed to think of something in a daze, and glanced at him.

"If nothing else, the destruction of the Wang family is probably inseparable from them."

Lin Jiang young sighed.

These people took away Zhiyuan's opportunity to take revenge with her own hands.

However, to Zhiyuan, it doesn't matter who destroys the Wang family, she just wants the result.

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised at first, but he quickly figured out the reason.

When the Jiang family was exterminated, Zhiyuan didn't remember anything. The Jiang family is just a completely unfamiliar place of memory to her. She didn't have any empathy, what she did have was just the instinct in her body... She wanted to avenge the wronged souls of the innocent Jiang family who died in vain!

When Zhiyuan heard this, her eyes changed slightly. She looked at Lin Jiangnian: "What are you going to do?"

"You still understand me!"

Lin Jiangqiang laughed, glanced at the stairs, half-smiling but not smiling: "Now that we have met, we can't let them go. I am still curious as to why they want to kill the Wang family... But I guess they are like that too. Think about it.”

Zhiyuan's heart was as clear as a mirror, and her tone was slightly cold: "They want to kill you."

"Yes, they are targeting this prince."

Lin Jiang sighed, but the smile on his face became brighter: "But me, isn't it the same?"

"..."

It was late at night, and the town fell into sleep in the dark.

The guests in the inn also went to bed early, and the whole inn was silent inside and outside.

Just at this time of the dead of night, several black shadows appeared silently in the inn room on the second floor, and there was no sound when they stepped on the floor.

Several figures moved towards the third floor in a swift and strange manner. The three of them quickly approached a room in the corner of the third floor. One of them poked the window paper and blew poison gas into the room.

The other person took out a dagger from his arms and pried open the window silently.

When the window was pried open, several figures turned over and fell into the room, and then rushed straight to the bed in the room.

In the darkness, the few people did not make any sound from beginning to end. When they approached the bed, they could clearly see a person lying on the bulging bed. The eyes of the few people were cold, and the daggers stabbed at the person on the bed at the same time.

However, the dagger seemed to be stabbed into a ball of soft cotton.

The faces of the three people changed immediately.

When they opened the bed, it was empty. Except for the bedding, there was no figure.

"We were fooled!"

A low and anxious voice sounded.

The three people turned around and ran out of the room without hesitation.

But at this moment, the room that had just been opened was suddenly closed.

"Bang!"

The room was dark.

The three people immediately took out the weapons hidden on their bodies and ran towards the door.

The next second, a dangerous breath came, making the faces of the three people change drastically.

"Swish!"

A crossbow arrow shot in from the window paper and rushed towards the three people. The three people held their weapons tightly and blocked the crossbow arrow.

But then, a series of "swoosh" piercing the air came, and the crossbow arrows came densely from all around the room, instantly surrounding the people in the room.

The people in the room tried their best to block, but the crossbow arrows outside the window were countless, cold and fierce, with tricky angles. In a moment, one of them was caught off guard and his arm was hit by a crossbow arrow. As soon as he slowed down, the remaining crossbow arrows came again, instantly piercing him on the spot.

The other two people also died soon under these dense crossbow arrows!

At the same time, when the three people were fooled and trapped in the room.

The elder on the other side realized that he had been tricked and did not hesitate at all.

Retreat!

He was about to leave the inn with the remaining two people, but just a few steps away, the lights in the lobby of the inn suddenly lit up.

At the same time, not far in front of the elder, several figures blocked his way.

A lazy and playful voice came from the crowd.

"Hey, where are you going at this late hour?"

"..."
