Zhu Yanyin had not expected that after fainting and waking up again, he would actually be related to the top-ranked master in the martial arts world. He felt complicated, excited and nervous. Zhao Mingchuan picked out some true and false rumors in the city and told him, for example, in Wanren Palace, Li Sui's residence was called "Yanhui Palace". Yanhui, you taste it, you taste it carefully.
Zhu Yanyin hesitated: "Is it related to me?"
Zhao Mingchuan said confidently: "Everyone says so."
Otherwise, why not call the eagle back, the vulture back, or the roc back, but the swallow back? The swallow is a delicate and small bird, and it seems to have nothing to do with Wanren Palace. But now the delicate and exquisite second son of the Zhu Mansion in Jiangnan has suddenly appeared, and the matter has a reasonable explanation! It is very likely that because the son Zhu was seriously injured in Jiangnan, and the Palace Master Li missed him so much in the northwest that she got out of bed in the middle of the night and wrote the two words "Swallow Back". This delicate feeling is very touching just thinking about it.
Zhu Yanyin: Wait, isn’t that a bit far-fetched
He said truthfully: "The word 'swallow returns' has many artistic conceptions, such as 'swallows return to Wuyuan with wind and snow, dreams are cut off at Qiantang with moon full in the building'. Maybe Palace Master Li likes this sad artistic conception."
Zhao Mingchuan didn't believe it. Palace Master Li didn't look like someone who liked sad poetry. He only liked to make others sad.
Zhu Yanyin was still skeptical: "But I really don't remember anything, and when I was in the old house in Jiangnan before, everyone said that I had nothing to do with the martial arts world."
Zhao Mingchuan looked at him silently. The room was dimly lit, the candlelight was swaying in the wind, and the shadows were swaying. This scene was familiar to the second son of Zhu. Once it appeared in the storybook, someone would be killed in the next moment. So he became nervous. Once he was nervous, he began to think wildly, wondering if his family was hiding something. He was not sure if he had really had a relationship with Li Sui, otherwise why would there be so many realistic rumors outside
There were still quite a few people sitting in the lobby of the inn, all waiting... Actually, no one knew what they were waiting for, but since there was someone here that both Palace Master Li and Divine Doctor Jiang valued, they couldn't let go of the opportunity to curry favor with him. After all, no one could predict luck, so even though the boss had raised the price of tea tenfold, everyone was still insisting on staying put.
Zhu Yanyin was standing on the second floor. He looked down and was also shocked: "Are they all waiting for me?"
There was another familiar face in the crowd. The gift boxes of supplements in front of him almost formed a small mountain. It was Tan Shuqiu. He was sent by his biological father to visit the patient. Because of the incident at Phoenix Terrace yesterday, there were rumors in the city that he was acquainted with Zhu Yanyin. So no one was provoking him to make trouble at this time, and everyone gave him a comfortable seat.
Zhao Mingchuan followed Zhu Yanyin's gaze and said, "That's someone from the Canglang Gang."
"I've dealt with him twice." Zhu Yanyin asked, "Is the Canglang Gang powerful?"
Zhao Mingchuan replied: "No background."
The leader, Tan Dadao, was originally a restaurant owner. He was good at chopping ducks, but not at chopping people. The reason why the Canglang Gang could have the status it has today was mainly due to the duck blood vermicelli soup, which had little to do with martial arts skills. As for Tan Shuqiu, he was also a joke in the martial arts world. In the early years, he wanted to be brothers with the disciples of the big sects, but he was often teased. He was arrogant and domineering, but also submissive and timid. He was just a rich family's pampered straw bag.
Zhu Yanyin was not very interested in Tan Shuqiu. He was interested in Li Sui, so he asked quietly, "Is Wanren Palace also down there?"
Zhao Mingchuan shook his head: "No, the people from Wanren Palace don't like to show up in public in the martial arts world, and usually they have interviews in the middle of the night."
Because of this sentence, Zhu Yanyin almost didn't sleep all night. On the one hand, he wondered if there was a misunderstanding, how could he really be a Jianghu person, on the other hand, he felt that who could tell such a thing for sure, what if Li Sui came through the window with a burning knife in his hand and invited him to move to Wanren Palace to live there permanently, wouldn't it seem too naive to agree immediately, he still had to be reluctant to accept it. Outside the window, the wind and sand roared continuously, and I didn't know who was playing the xiao, sobbing and out of tune, it was a story of Jianghu.
Young Master Zhu, who really hopes he can have a story, lies on the bed, thinking about all sorts of things and is full of expectations. If the play "The West Chamber" is directly adapted to this story, it would be in the Waiting Moon Inn, with the door half-open to the wind, the shadows of flowers against the wall moving, and one might think that a hunk is coming.
As a result, the tough guy didn't show up until dawn, but none of the gangsters in the hall left.
Zhu Yanyin couldn't hold on any longer. His eyelids drooped, and he wrapped himself in the quilt and fell asleep sadly in the morning light.
…
In Wanren Palace, as soon as Palace Master Li came out of Yanhui Palace, Jiang Shenglin brought over a bowl and said, "Eat."
The two had known each other for many years, and Li Sui had gotten used to the other party tinkering with a new medicine from time to time. He took it and drank it all without even looking at it, but frowned: "Sweet?"
Jiang Shenglin replied: "It's sweet, bird's nest and red dates stewed with donkey-hide gelatin."
Jiang Shenglin added: "They were all sent by Second Young Master Zhu yesterday. I think they are pretty good. They are just right for nourishing your recent fatigue."
Li Sui thought of those scarlet gift boxes wrapped in silk that looked like betrothal gifts, and his stomach twisted.
Jiang Shenglin put the empty bowl away and said, "Now all the martial arts sects have gathered at the Fumanmen Inn, waiting to see Zhu Yanyin. Even Alliance Leader Wan has sent someone to send him an invitation, inviting him to discuss the matter of defeating the Demon Sect."
Wulin leader Wan Zhuyun is a smooth-talking good guy. His martial arts can barely rank in the top 20, but his popularity is the best and his prestige is extremely high. According to his status in the martial arts world, he should not take the initiative to talk to Zhu Yanyin. Since he personally sent the invitation this time, it is obvious that his ultimate goal must be Li Sui.
Jiang Shenglin advised: "The Wulin Alliance is so sincere, you might as well go with the flow."
Anyway, everyone wants to defeat the Demon Cult, and strength in numbers is always better than fighting alone. What's more, Li Sui still has an old injury. Chi Tian was able to hurt him the first time several years ago, and he may be able to hurt him a second time now. He always feels uneasy when he thinks about it.
Li Sui didn't respond to his question, but only asked: "Are the people from the Demon Cult also guarding the inn?"
"Yes. Fu Man Clan is now full of martial arts sects. They dare to approach, which shows that their martial arts skills are not low."
"Keep them." Li Sui ordered, "They may be useful to us when we go to Snow City together in the future."
Jiang Shenglin nodded and reminded: "But in this case, we have to take the Zhu family member north with us, otherwise he might be in danger."
A wealthy young master from Jiangnan, he first hit his head and then got involved in the turmoil of the Jianghu. If you think about it carefully, it is really unlucky. So when he saw the patient the next day, Dr. Jiang did not let him go to the Xuanlin Tower again, but personally took the medicine boy to the Fumanmen Inn, which further confirmed the identity of the second son Zhu as a great boss.
Zhu Yanyin has been very active for two days, especially after receiving the invitation from the Wulin Alliance. He became even more restless and eager to do something. He felt as if he was about to burst out his internal energy when he burped. He even tried to practice climbing walls by standing on the bed.
"Young Master." Zhu Xiaosui knocked on the door outside.
Zhu Yanyin lay back in bed, weakly holding his chest to avoid being nagged again: "What's the matter?"
Zhu Xiaosui said: "Divine Doctor Jiang is here."
Zhu Yanyin's eyes were so intense that they almost burned two holes in the miracle doctor who pushed the door open. He was expecting the other party to say some strange jargon, but unfortunately, Jiang Shenglin was so focused on the patient that he started by taking the patient's pulse without any awareness of cooperating with the performance.
Zhao Mingchuan asked: "How is the injury?"
"It's not a big deal." Jiang Shenglin said, "Using silver needles to stimulate the acupuncture points, supplemented by medicine, may be able to restore memory, but the treatment is quite time-consuming, at least half a year, and at most three to five years, it's hard to say."
Zhu Xiaosui immediately invited: "Would the miracle doctor be willing to go back to Jiangnan with us?"
Jiang Shenglin shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work. I have promised Alliance Leader Wan that I will go to Northeast Snow City with him."
Zhu Xiaosui became anxious when he heard this: "As long as the young master's injury can be cured, my master is willing to offer a reward of ten thousand taels, a thousand bushels of pearls, a hundred rolls of brocade, ten pairs of jade pendants, as well as the fields and houses in the south of the Yangtze River, the Ferghana horses in the north of the desert, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials bestowed by the emperor, as many as you want, please consider it again, doctor!"
Jiang Shenglin felt slightly dizzy after hearing this. You, the richest man in Jiangnan, are really very rich.
Why don't we make a deal and let Mr. Zhu buy out the Demon Cult
Zhu Yanyin continued to look at him expectantly.
Jiang Shenglin cleared his throat and said, "Although I cannot go to Jiangnan, Master Zhu can go to Xuecheng."
Zhu Yanyin was surprised: "Me? Going to Snow City?"
I wish Xiaosui would be alert, no, it’s not possible!
But it was not up to a mere servant to decide whether it would work or not. Jiang Shenglin wanted to go to Xuecheng, and Zhu Yanyin's injury could not be delayed. Putting the two together, there was really only one way for them to go north.
The second son of Zhu had no objection to this, and was even a little excited. While Zhu Xiaosui went to get the medicine, he took the opportunity to ask the miracle doctor why he chose him to be the first to see him. Was there any history or inside story behind this? Have we seen it before
Jiang Shenglin looked into his sincere eyes and thought of those nonsense rumors from Wanren Palace. His conscience was condemned again, so his tone became three times gentler: "I haven't seen him, but the Zhu Mansion in Jiangnan is famous, so I naturally want to get to know the second young master as soon as possible."
Zhu Yanyin obviously didn't believe this polite excuse, and asked again: "Then do I know kung fu?"
Jiang Shenglin: "You won't."
Zhu Yanyin's Adam's apple rolled, and he said in a roundabout way: "The leader of the martial arts world has sent me an invitation. Can people who don't know martial arts also participate in martial arts?"
Jiang Shenglin: "Of course."
The genius doctor was very frugal with words and kept his mouth shut, and he didn't seem to be easy to fool. Zhu Yanyin changed his tactics and asked, "Does the genius doctor know Palace Master Li of Wanren Palace?"
Jiang Shenglin: “Not familiar.”
"Am I familiar with him?"
"I don't think I'm familiar with him either."
"It's not that I don't know him, it's that he's not familiar with him?"
“I just don’t know him.”
"The Divine Doctor doesn't know me, and he's not familiar with Palace Master Li, so how does he know that I don't know Palace Master Li?"
"… "
Zhu Yanyin was very proud and felt a sense of satisfaction from having hit upon the truth, so he pressed on and asked, "So what is the relationship between me and Palace Master Li?"
Jiang Shenglin thought, you two really have no relationship at the moment.
However, in order to wipe out the evil cult as soon as possible, some relationship may have to be forced in the future.
