He walked to the door of the Escort Bureau, pulled out his long sword, and waved at the stone lion at the door. ...
"Keng!"
A sharp sword energy opened a large gap in the stone lion.
Everyone was stunned.
"Good swordsmanship!"
"I am blind, but I didn't know that the young master has such deep inner strength!"
"Ping'er, where does your inner strength come from?"
In fact, Lin Pingzhi himself was extremely surprised by that sword strike just now.
You know, I just used Xicheng's strength. If I had tried my best, the stone lion would have been cut into pieces by the sword energy.
The evil-repelling sword manual is really powerful! !
While sighing, Lin Pingzhi suddenly came up with a bold idea.
There was no need for a stratagem, but the first one used evil-repelling swordsmanship to confront Yu Canghai and the Qingcheng disciples.
This can also increase experience.
But after thinking about it for a while, I gave up this idea.
There are two reasons for this.
1: In the original plot, the original person who practiced evil-proof swordsmanship killed Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng, but it was a little difficult and he was blinded by poison.
At present, his evil-fighting swordsmanship is only at the Western level, which is probably similar to his original skill at that time. Killing Yu Canghai should not achieve the crushing effect. If the other party has other masters to help him, his situation will be very dangerous.
Two: He doesn't want to reveal his strength too early, so hiding his strength can have the effect of a surprise attack when fighting against the enemy.
"My internal strength was taught by an expert when I went hunting."
After a perfunctory sentence, Lin Pingzhi returned to the hall.
"Do you still have concerns?"
"No more, everything depends on the young master's arrangement!"
In the original plot, when Yu Canghai destroyed the Fuwei Escort Agency, he first carried out assassinations to create an atmosphere of terror.
On the door of the escort agency, he wrote the words "He who takes ten steps outside will die" in big blood-red letters.
Some people were not convinced and stepped on the bloody words, and they all died of anger.
According to Lin Pingzhi's speculation, these people were all shot to death by Qingcheng disciples with poisoned hidden weapons.
The hidden weapon was fired from a high position, and the Qingcheng disciples should be lying in ambush on the roofs and treetops next to the escort office.
What would be the effect if I set an ambush in these places?
Lin Pingzhi led everyone to the gate of the escort agency.
He pointed at several houses and big trees around him.
"Boss Liu, who lives in this house to the east?"
"Widow Xue and her two children."
Lin Pingzhi frowned, thinking about it.
"Later, you go get some money and buy this house, as well as the two houses to the west!"
Liu Biaotou looked confused: "The escort agency has no shortage of courtyards. Why does the young master want to buy these houses?"
In order to prevent anyone from leaking the secret, Lin Pingzhi did not explain.
"Just do as you are told, I have my own arrangements!"
Then, his eyes fell on some towering trees at the entrance of the escort agency.
"Mr. Tao, please bring a few people to cut down all these trees!"
"OK!"
Manager Tao was very loyal to the Lin family. Although he had doubts, he didn't ask why.
"In the past few days, please don't go out, practice your martial arts when you have time, and be ready to face the enemy at any time!"
Lin Pingzhi gave some instructions, took some silver from the accounting room, and went out with Yue Lingshan.
Following their departure, everyone in the escort agency was talking about it.
"Is this arrangement useful, young master?"
"It's useless! There is a saying from ancient times that 'a hairless mouth means a weak work'. He is trying to plunge us into a place of no return."
"Old Li Tou, how can you say that? The chief escort has treated me very well. He is in trouble now. Even if he has to risk his life, he still has to protect the Lin family!"
"Yes, even if we leave the escort agency, we will inevitably be attacked by Yu Canghai, so we might as well give it a try."
…………
After leaving the escort agency, Lin Pingzhi found Zhu Ting, the most famous local craftsman.
This is a workshop that combines woodworking and ironworking, mainly manufacturing weapons.
The local martial arts practice is prevalent, and Zhu Ting's reputation is far-reaching, so the weapons made here are very popular.
The boss is a fat man, I know him.
"What weapons does Mr. Lin want to buy?"
"Crossbow."
Lin Pingzhi picked up an ordinary crossbow and played with it.
"Twelve taels of silver a piece, and an arrow costing five hundred cents each. How many do you want, Mr. Lin?"
"No, no, this is not what I want!"
Lin Pingzhi shook his head and looked at other weapons with disappointment in his eyes.
"Is there a more powerful crossbow with a longer range?"
Hearing this, Zhu Ting narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard and said: "It's not in stock, but it can be customized, but..."
Lin Pingzhi naturally understood what he meant, and immediately said: "I will pay five hundred taels and customize ten of them. The power should be twice that of ordinary crossbows!"
"Okay! But it will take some time for delivery!"
"I'll give you another two hundred taels and deliver it within three days."
"OK!"
…………
While it was still early, Lin Pingzhi took Yue Lingshan to the market.
When Yue Lingshan came to Fujian, she stayed at the Wuyi Mountain Wilderness Store and never visited other places.
The prosperity of the southeastern region cannot be compared to that of northern Shaanxi.
So is the market.
Yue Lingshan saw the dazzling array of products for the first time and was as excited as a little girl, running around.
"Mr. Lin, does your hairpin look good?"
"nice!"
Lin Pingzhi took a well-made beaded hairpin from the other party and inserted it into Yue Lingshan's bun.
"If this hairpin is inserted in your head, it will look like a piece of pure white jade with a touch of light green. It is extremely wonderful!"
Hearing this, clouds appeared on Yue Lingshan's pretty face, and she lowered her head shyly.
"Master Lin, don't make fun of me!"
"How is this a joke? You are already handsome, and with the hairpin, you are even more beautiful!"
Lin Pingzhi didn't think much and made a casual conversation.
Yue Lingshan had never heard such disgusting praise before. She was even more shy, and her heart was filled with happiness.
"By the way, don't call me Mr. Lin. I'm unfamiliar. Just call me by my name!"
"Um!"
"Come on, I'll take you to see the costumes!"
Two days later, Lin Zhennan rushed back to Fuwei Escort Agency on horseback. ...
As soon as he entered the door, he looked angry and wanted to punish his son.
"Ping'er, you caused such a huge disaster and implicated dozens of people in the escort agency. Do you still have the nerve to come back?"
Lin Zhennan's cowardice made Lin Pingzhi very disappointed.
"Dad, listen to my explanation!"
"When a disaster is imminent, explanations are of no use! I'll punish you by facing the wall for three days to think about your fault!"
Next to her, Mrs. Wang couldn’t listen anymore.
"Zhennan, as soon as you came back, you punished Pingzhi indiscriminately. What did he do wrong?"
Liu Biaotou, who has an upright personality and has a strong personality, also echoed: "Qingcheng disciple is openly molesting a good girl. The young master comes to help. It is a chivalrous act. Chief Biaotou, please don't blame him."
"It's right to act out of righteousness, but killing is too much!"
Lin Zhennan was a little surprised. Liu Biaotou always followed his lead. How could he speak for his son today?
"Zhennan, you need to understand clearly that the Qingcheng disciples openly claimed that they wanted to seize the Lin family's anti-evil sword manual. Shouldn't they be killed?"
"What, the sword manual to ward off evil?"
Lin Zhennan finally realized that this matter was not simple.
"Forget it, everyone is dead, and it's useless to blame Ping'er. How should we deal with the Qingcheng faction's revenge now?"
As the head of the escort agency, he had no response plan, which made everyone a little disappointed.
It is inevitable to compare him with Lin Pingzhi.
Although he didn't say anything out loud, he was muttering in his heart.
"Hey! The young master is still calm and determined when the chief escort encounters trouble."
"It's better to be old than to be young, haha!"
Lin Pingzhi looked very calm and was not angry because his father always punished him.
There was no need for him to defend himself when he asked someone to speak for him.
At the same time, he also wanted to see how this cheap dad was going to deal with this crisis?
"According to my estimation, the Qingcheng faction will arrive at Fuwei Escort Agency by tomorrow at the latest. How do you plan to deal with it?"
"Hey! Such a disaster has arisen!"
Lin Zhennan sighed: "I just hope that Master Yu, for the sake of giving gifts in the past, will be more generous and forgive us. As long as he does not hurt everyone's lives, I am willing to offer all my family wealth and even my life."
"Tomorrow, I will personally go to Temple Master Yu to plead guilty!"
Lin Zhennan's responsibility is quite admirable.
But his weak behavior made people very unhappy.
"Dad, your idea is too wishful thinking. What Mr. Yu wants is the evil sword manual and everyone's lives."
"Yes, even if the chief escort commits suicide and apologizes, Yu Canghai will not let us go."
Lin Zhennan finally recognized the reality, his expression was bald, and he murmured to himself: "So, I can only sit back and wait for death."
"Dad, there's no need to be so depressed. It's just the Qingcheng sect. Why should we be afraid?"
Lin Pingzhi's calm and composed appearance confused Lin Zhennan. Normally, his son should be more frightened. After all, he was the one who killed Yu Canghai's son with his own hands.
"Young Master, tell everyone your plan!"
As early as two days ago, when Lin Pingzhi ordered a strange mission, Biaotou Liu, Manager Tao and others suspected that he was planning something.
If Lin Pingzhi didn't say a word, it would be hard for them to ask.
Now, everyone from the escort agency has gathered together, and it's time to clear up the doubts.
"All right!"
Lin Pingzhi ordered: "Liu Biao, I order you to replace some of the rubble on the roof of Widow Xue's house to the east with the thinnest ones. After you have done this, you will lead ten soldiers with spears and spears to ambush in the house. ”
Upon hearing this, Biaotou Liu seemed to understand Lin Pingzhi's intention.
Immediately his eyebrows lit up with joy: "Young master is so smart!"
"you flatter me!"
Lin Pingzhi continued: "Boss Hu, take ten men and fill the house on the west with gunpowder, sulfur and dry wood. If there is any movement on the roof, light it immediately!"
Hu Biaotou exclaimed excitedly: "Wonderful, wonderful!"
"Mr. Tao, you lead ten assassins with bows and crossbows to ambush on the eaves of the Escort Bureau. Remember to quench the poison on the arrow tips!"
"As you command!"
Manager Tao responded, and then said: "But the Escort Bureau is a business, and there are no weapons such as crossbows and poisons that can hurt people in the dark."
"I have!"
Lin Pingzhi took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to Manager Tao.
"What is this?"
"Three Smiles are fatal. Qingcheng Xixiu and Yu Renyan were poisoned to death."
"What about the crossbow?"
"I have asked Zhu Ting to make ten specially made crossbows. He should be able to deliver them by now."
At this moment, everyone finally realized that Lin Pingzhi was not a simple and innocent young man.
Such careful thoughts and ruthless methods left them in awe.
Lin Pingzhi's deployment was orderly and without omissions, just like a general dispatching troops and generals.
This made everyone in the escort agency highly praised him.
"Young Master has the spirit of a general, and he will definitely do great things in the future!"
"In this way, no matter how good Yu Canghai's martial arts is, he can't avoid many ambushes."
"That's right! The young master's strategy is eye-opening to us. We admire it, admire it!"
"Why can't we come up with such a solution? Hey!"
