Lin Xi emerged from the water.

Lin Xi emerged from the water.

It was dark outside, but it was much brighter than inside the quarry, so Lin Xi could see more clearly.

He did not go down the river, but got out of the water and climbed directly up the cliff.

There is moonlight.

The clear stream water flowed on his skin, making his skin look smoother and more elastic, full of a hidden power.

His black hair was slowly flowing in the dark night, and the fresh mountain breeze was breathed into his chest and lungs, making him even more satisfied with his condition, and he felt as if he was completely reborn.

Under the moonlight, Lin Xi slowly climbed to the top of the mountain.

He looked around silently and saw traces of someone stationed on the opposite cliff, but no one appeared in his sight again, so he stretched hard, and all the muscles and bones in his body,

There were a series of slight explosions, and then he let out a sigh of relief, turned around and walked into the forest behind.

The mountain forest looked even more tranquil under the moonlight, and Lin Xi suddenly smelled a refreshing and faint fragrance.

Attracted by this elegant and subtle fragrance, Lin Xi was slightly surprised when he walked under an old tree. Then he suddenly realized that it was a cluster of orchids with small purple flowers.

…

At the foot of the mountain, in a small village, in a house next to a small canal, an ordinary woman with a cloth on her head was kneading dough.

Knead this kind of flour vigorously for half an hour, and then press it tightly with a big stone, and the glutinous rice balls made will be very delicate and smooth.

Suddenly, the woman who specialized in making noodles for a dumpling shop felt someone looking at her, and she turned around in surprise.

Then she opened her mouth in surprise.

She saw a ragged young man smiling sheepishly at her.

The young man's shirt was almost completely torn, but what surprised her was that this young man gave her an unusually clean feeling.

Coupled with the young man's shyness and politeness, she felt that he was not a bad person and did not utter any exclamations.

Then she saw a clump of lavender orchids with a handful of soil in the young man's hand.

"Are you from Cailan in the city?"

This ordinary middle-aged woman who was also a little shy reacted somewhat, rubbed the flour particles on her rough hands, and said kindly: "I got lost too late when I left the mountain, and I didn't come out until now? How can I help?

Are you... do you want to eat something?"

"But congratulations, you have found such an orchid." A faint fragrance came from the air. This woman, who usually only lives with heat and dough, looked at the lavender orchid in the young man's hand and said with some admiration.

.

Orchids have always been very valuable in Donglin Province, and there are orchid pickers in the provincial capital. Yunqin orchids are more expensive in dark colors, so a clump of purple orchids is worth a lot of silver.

The young man shook his head in embarrassment, indicating that he didn't need to prepare anything for him, but turned to look at the clothes drying rack outside the house in embarrassment.

There was a clean, ordinary men's coarse cloth shirt on the clothes drying rack.

The middle-aged woman understood immediately, smiled innocently, and said: "It's really not possible to go to the provincial capital without covering your body. If you don't mind, I will give you this dress."

"Thank you." The young man also smiled, but he obviously felt that he was being too formal, so he stepped forward and placed the orchids he was holding on the window sill in front of the woman, "

I’ll give you this orchid too.”

"This..." The woman was stunned, knowing that the orchid was valuable, and she was about to refuse, but the young man waved to her, took the shirt, and disappeared into the night in a few steps.

The middle-aged woman seemed like a dream, but the orchids exuding an elegant and subtle fragrance in front of her were real.

She knew that this orchid was probably worth at least a year's worth of hard work, but looking at the thin but fresh flowers and smelling the delicate fragrance, she fell in love with it more and more, but she was reluctant to sell it, and finally

I found a clean clay pot and planted the seeds carefully.

She liked it wholeheartedly.

…

Under the bright moonlight, General Yun Qin with a serious face sat on the river beach. Looking at the cheerful expressions of his subordinates who had been following him for a long time, some soft lines appeared on his stern face.

Dozens of Yunqin soldiers wearing black armor buried pots and cooked rice on the beach of Lianghe River.

More than ten days have passed, and Lin Xi still hasn't appeared, as if she has disappeared from this world. The practitioners and the army have been evacuated one after another, the mountain closure order has been lifted, and the several layers of steel wire mesh blocking the exit from Sanmaofeng Mountain Stream to Lianghe have also been removed.

They were all put away. Although they did not play any role in rounding up Lin Xi, many big fish were caught on these steel wire nets.

Especially many of them are still very fresh.

His dozens of elite soldiers in black armor were happily taking out the freshest and most juicy fish from these wire meshes, scraping the scales and killing them for cooking.

The Yunqin general knew that his subordinates rarely felt relaxed and happy like this, so his mood was also infected and he was also happy because of their happiness.

"Master Lu!"

However, just as some of the slaughtered fish had been put into the pot and the aroma of hot oil was already spreading on the river beach, a soldier's hurried exclamation suddenly disturbed the peace.

"how?"

The Yunqin general's face suddenly became more grim. He knew that something different must have happened, so he just jumped in front of the soldier.

The soldier looked at him, took a deep breath, but said nothing. He just handed the big cut open fish in his hand to him.

Through the moonlight, he immediately saw clearly that there was a fishhook in the belly of the fish. It was a simple fishhook made of fish bones, and the connected broken fishing line was made of tree bark.

His body stiffened instantly and he suddenly turned towards the mountain stream.

An incredible and shocking emotion instantly filled every part of his body.

That mountain stream was completely blocked before, and it was impossible for anyone else to fish in it... Even for fishing, there was no need to use such crude things.

So there is only one possibility, it is Lin Xi!

Lin Xi is still alive...he has been in that mountain stream!

All the elite black-armored soldiers who knew about the change gathered over instantly. They all immediately saw the fishhook in the belly of the big fish, and they immediately reacted. Silence and incredible shock spread among the group of people.

Come on.

…

…

On a hot afternoon, when many people couldn't bear the heat and sleepiness outside and began to take a nap, a young man walked into the provincial capital of Donglin Province.

Perhaps he felt that the sun was too dazzling, so he took a lotus leaf to block the sun, and seemed to be walking aimlessly through the streets of the city.

Except for his handsome face and exceptionally clean body, this young man did not attract the attention of ordinary people in the provincial capital at all.

However, just after the young man entered the provincial capital and walked less than a thousand steps, the originally peaceful and peaceful afternoon in the provincial capital suddenly became unusually noisy.

Many people surrounded the young man, and then more people in official uniforms arrived. There was even the sound of iron hoofs, and many soldiers rushed towards the street.

The young man holding a lotus leaf just waited quietly, standing under the shade of a willow tree, calmly looking at the officials and soldiers with various unspeakable emotions outside him, and finally looked at the officials and soldiers who appeared in front of him.

Xiao Tie Leng smiled harmlessly and said, "Master Xiao, what happened? Why do so many people look like they are facing a formidable enemy?"

…

There is a pond in the courtyard of a quiet mansion in the provincial capital.

Xue Wantao looked at the goldfish in the pond, and then drank a bowl of very strong and bitter medicine.

There was finally no blood on the gauze he replaced, and the injury finally began to improve.

The sound of rapid footsteps broke into his ears. An attendant quickly entered the small courtyard. He looked like he didn't dare to go forward. He only stopped at the door of the small courtyard, lowered his head, and trembled.

He said: "Lin Xi is still alive...appeared in the provincial capital."

"Click"!

The thick porcelain medicine bowl broke into pieces in Xue Wantao's right hand. His face twitched slightly. Pieces of broken porcelain shot into the pond in front of him. Many of them penetrated into the body of the swimming goldfish. He

The pond in front of me turned into a pool of blood.

Xue Wantao took a deep breath and raised his head.

He felt the killing intent swimming in the air, the killing intent coming from him, and the killing intent coming from Lin Xi somewhere in his imagination in the provincial capital. This killing intent just came from his imagination.

, but it is extremely true.

At about the same time, Jiang Xiaoyi and Bian Linghan also heard rapid footsteps in another courtyard in the provincial capital.

After walking out of their respective rooms, Bian Linghan just glanced at the faces of the officials from the Ministry of Justice who entered, and she laughed. She smiled so much that her teeth were exposed, and she laughed out all the worries and melancholy she had felt in the past ten days, so much so that she

This usually very weak girl was also full of rebelliousness at this time.

She looked at the criminal department official and asked with some pride: "Lin Xi is back? Where is he now?"

…

The houses of the Criminal Division are all very high and have cold and hard colors, so they are a bit cool even in summer.

Lin Xi sat on a chair and drank tea very casually.

Sitting around him were seven officials of fifth rank and above.

Xiao Tieleng sat on the seat closest to him, drinking tea with an expressionless face. No one spoke for a while.

Suddenly, Lin Xi put down the tea cup in her hand, smiled and waved her hand towards the door.

Jiang Xiaoyi and Bian Linghan walked in from the door.

Seeing that Lin Xi was not missing anything and was in high spirits, both of them were completely relieved. They both breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Lin Xi, and laughed.

"Where have you been these days?"

At this moment, Xiao Tieleng also put down the tea cup in his hand, and his voice sounded coldly.

At this moment, the afternoon sunlight at the door was blocked by human figures again, and Xue Wantao, wearing official uniform, also walked in from the door.
