Chapter 985 Someone is always seeking death

Don’t you know, or don’t you dare to say?

Lin Zhongtian glanced at Liu Xian, thought for a moment, and waved his hand, saying, "Go!"

After Liu Xianru was pardoned, he immediately turned around and walked to his unconscious colleagues, woke them up one by one, told them the truth, and led them to chase the convoy ahead to continue his mission.

As for the assassin who had lost too much blood and fainted, they kept him.

The reason is very simple. This assassin is indeed their trophy, but they are also Lin Zhongtian’s trophy.

Having experienced the humiliation of being knocked down by Lin Zhongtian alone, these people no longer had the nerve to ask Lin Zhongtian for prisoners.

The old soldier with missing front teeth walked up to the assassin, took out a ginseng beard from his arms, stuffed it into the assassin's mouth to keep him alive, and then began to treat the assassin's injuries to prevent him from bleeding to death.

Old Jiang walked up to Lin Zhongtian, glanced at the backs of Liu Xian and the others leaving, and said with a curled lip: "If I, Old Jiang, am not mistaken, these brats should all be from the Hundred Cavalry Division."

"I just didn't expect that after just a few years, the Hundred Cavalry Division has become so weak. I don't know where all those feared warriors in the past have gone. Why are there only a few young men left now..."

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and chuckled, "Where else can we go? Of course, we should go to enjoy our wealth and luxury!"

Old Jiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with emotion: "Wealth is a knife that kills people. I wonder if the old guys back then can still lift the knife now..."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "I don't know about the others, but you guys are still strong and healthy."

Lao Jiang was flattered and said with a chuckle, "Thank you for the compliment, sir!"

Lin Zhongtian raised his hand and patted Lao Jiang on the shoulder, chuckled and said, "I'll leave the assassin to you. You can discuss among yourselves who will take him back for interrogation. Now that my junior brother has just entered the academy, there is no need to worry about his safety. We'll be back just in time for the wedding procession to return."

Old Jiang straightened his expression and said, "Yes, sir."

Lin Zhongtian added one more thing to remind him: "Today is my junior brother's big day, remember to avoid killing. Of course, if you have to, don't hesitate to kill him."

Old Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. I understand. To be honest, if we hadn't wanted to do some good deeds for the Marquis, the Hundred Cavalry Division wouldn't have had the chance to attack this assassin!"

Lin Zhongtian laughed, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, then turned and left, disappearing from their sight in a moment.

Old Jiang's dark eyes swept over the direction where Lin Zhongtian left, and he couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "As expected of the Marquis's senior brother, his skills are just like those of a god. I, Old Jiang, have seen a lot of things in the world, but if I hadn't followed the Marquis, I would never have seen such a person!"

The old soldier who had treated the assassin's injuries stood up and laughed when he heard what Old Jiang said, "Didn't the Marquis say that when he was with the old immortal, he was the most favored and playful."

"But even so, the Marquis has grown into such a stunning figure."

"Mr. Lin is the Marquis's senior brother, and he is proficient in both literature and martial arts, so it is natural..."

Old Jiang nodded in agreement and said with a look of longing: "I wonder what kind of demeanor that old immortal has."

The old soldier with missing front teeth laughed loudly, grabbed the assassin and carried him on his back, saying with a smile: "I'm afraid you and I will never get to see him again!"

……

……

In Chang'an City, in the market town where the Tiger Gang was entrenched, a young man in white was walking on the sparsely populated street.

Today is the wedding day of Lantian Hou Yunye, and it is also a rare large-scale social opportunity for the powerful people in Chang'an City recently.

Countless dignitaries and aristocratic families in Chang'an prepared their carriages and prepared to go to the Yun family to attend the wedding banquet.

Kings, dukes, and even princes and crown princes all traveled today, causing the alert level in Chang'an City to instantly rise by several levels.

Under such circumstances, the local gang members who usually acted arrogantly have become ordinary people. They stay obediently in the gang strongholds and dare not challenge the authorities at this time.

This also made it convenient for Lin Zhongtian, as he easily found out the location of the Tiger Gang's headquarters.

Looking at the high-walled courtyard in front of him that only wealthy businessmen could afford, Lin Zhongtian thought for a moment, broke off a branch from the tree next to him, then walked to the door holding the branch and knocked politely.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

There was a knock on the door, and an impatient voice was immediately heard from inside the courtyard wall.

"Who?"

Lin Zhongtian said politely: "My surname is Lin. I came here today because I have some debt disputes with your gang."

"Oh?" The voice inside the door changed. "Are you here to pay your debt?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled but did not respond directly.

There were footsteps inside the door, as if someone walked quickly to the door and opened it impatiently.

"You don't even pick a good time to pay your debt. How dare you come here today to pay it back—"

Before he finished speaking, the voice of the person who opened the door stopped abruptly.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at the young man in white clothes outside the door in surprise: "Who are you?"

Lin Zhongtian ignored him and turned his gaze to the house behind the man.

There were about twelve big men in the yard, playing mahjong at three tables. They were guarding the yard and gambling at the same time.

Hearing the shouts of joy or annoyance in the yard, Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, picked up the branch and was about to step into the yard.

Seeing this, the man at the door widened his eyes and immediately raised his hand to push his chest: "Who the hell let you in-Ah!!"

Before he could even finish his words, the rude words that came out of his mouth turned into an extremely miserable wail of pain.

The big men who were playing mahjong in the yard stood up suddenly and looked towards the door in shock and anger.

A young man in white holding a branch walked into the yard. The man behind him leaned against the wall and screamed in pain. His right arm was hanging limply at his side, and it was obvious that the man in white had broken it.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at the man who was still screaming behind him, swung the branch in his hand, and hit him on the temple.

The man's head tilted due to the huge force, and he fell directly to the ground and got a sleep like a baby.

Seeing this scene, the other big men in the yard were shocked and angry. They immediately pushed over the tables and chairs and picked up their weapons.

Lin Zhongtian took a quick look and discovered that the Tiger Gang was indeed quite powerful. Even these big men who guarded the house could afford weapons made of hundred-fold tempered steel. Their equipment was much more luxurious than that of ordinary soldiers.

But unfortunately, no matter how well-armed the soldiers were, they were still vulnerable in front of him.

Lin Zhongtian held the branch in his hand, took a step forward, and walked towards the yard as if no one was around.

Of the eleven remaining men in the yard, one withdrew to report the news, while the rest rushed forward with weapons in hand, roaring.

"Snapped--"

Lin Zhongtian swung the branch in his hand, and the first hit the wrist of the big man in the front, leaving a deep scar that could be seen to the bone, making him unable to help but let go of the weapon and open his mouth.

But before he could scream, the branch was retracted and swung out a second time, hitting him on the head.

So the big man rolled his eyes, without even a groan, and fell asleep like the man at the door.

Lin Zhongtian looked calm as he continued to walk forward, his eyes fixed on the house in front of him. He kept swinging the branches in his hands, without even looking at the big guards who rushed up, and he accurately avoided the weapons and hit their wrists and temples.

"Ping Ping Pong Pong——"

In just a moment, dozens of weapons were knocked down by Lin Zhongtian and fell to the ground, making continuous noises.

The big men who rushed forward first were also whipped on the temples by branches, and fainted completely with the last bit of fear and confusion.

The remaining big man covered his bleeding wrist, looked at the white figure walking leisurely in front of him in horror, and kept retreating.

But no matter whether they retreated in horror or turned around to flee in panic, a branch would come whistling with an air current, like a soul-binding chain in the hands of the underworld's underworld, granting them a baby-like sleep.

In just ten seconds, Lin Zhongtian took ten steps.

The ten big men in the yard all fell to the ground and could not get up again.

Lin Zhongtian glanced at the branch in his hand and saw that it had been broken by him. He could only throw it away regretfully. He picked up a long stick with iron wrappings at both ends from the ground and walked into the house in front.

As soon as he stepped through the gate, three crossbow arrows flew from the front and hit the ground in front of Lin Zhongtian.

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and looked up, only to see more than twenty big men gathered in the hall, all wearing armor and holding swords, and they were armed to the teeth.

Behind these twenty-odd soldiers, there were seven people holding powerful crossbows, aiming at Lin Zhongtian.

Surrounded by crossbowmen and armored soldiers was a large man with pale skin, a rough face and fierce eyes. He was also wearing armor and holding a big knife, staring fiercely at the young man in white at the door.

There is no doubt that this person is the leader of the Tiger Gang, nicknamed White Tiger.

Looking at the pale face of White Tiger, Lin Zhongtian suddenly realized. He finally understood why this guy was called White Tiger. It turned out that he was born with albinism!
In this day and age, albinism is a symbol of the divine to ordinary people and even to the powerful.

As we all know, since ancient times, people with supernatural looks often have extraordinary deeds. Bai Lao Hu must have been appreciated by big shots because of his peculiar appearance due to albinism, which is why he has risen from a gangster to where he is today.

Looking at the silent young man in white, White Tiger said coldly: "Who are you and why are you trying to make trouble for my Tiger Gang?"

Today, a nobleman is getting married. Chang'an is under martial law, and all the important figures in the court are out in force. In such a situation, a master suddenly comes to his door and knocks out his subordinates without saying a word. How can he not be frightened?

Because of this, he did not kill the man in the forest, but warned him with a strong crossbow and tried to question him.

But he did not expect that facing the siege of more than twenty armored soldiers and seven crossbowmen, the young man in white remained unmoved. Instead, he looked at him with a smile.

"You are the white tiger?"

White Tiger frowned and said coldly: "That's right."

Lin Zhongtian shook his head and said, "Keeping armor privately is a capital crime."

White Tiger sneered, "Do you need to tell me? I have been in Chang'an for many years. Don't you think I don't know this?"

"To tell you the truth, I had already sent a message before you stepped through this door. Now my people are surrounding the outside. You can neither go in nor retreat."

"Rather than dying on the spot, it is better to surrender. Considering your good skills, I can spare your life. As long as you tell me the name of the person behind the scenes, I will allow you to join the Tiger Gang. How about it?"

Lin Zhongtian was quite surprised to hear Bai Lao Hu's persuasive words. It seemed that he did not expect that this man had some brains and wanted to take advantage of the situation and turn him from an enemy into a friend.

After a little thought, Lin Zhongtian nodded and said, "That makes sense. Since I am now in a dilemma and have reached a desperate situation, why don't you tell me who is offering a bounty on the life of Lantian Hou in the martial arts world?"

White Tiger was startled when he heard this, and then his face darkened. He didn't know what he was thinking of, but he suddenly raised his hand and said, "Kill!"

"call out--"

Seven crossbowmen immediately pulled the trigger and shot seven arrows.

Seeing this, Lin Zhongtian sighed, and immediately swung out his stick. A violent force whizzed out like a strong wind, instantly blowing the seven arrows into pieces.

Afterwards, the remaining force of the energy continued as it rushed forward with a roar, shocking the twenty or so armored soldiers so much that they screamed and fell backwards with a crash.

Seeing this scene, White Tiger and everyone around him were all shocked and looked ahead in disbelief.

Lin Zhongtian was seen holding a stick in one hand, and his body suddenly burst out with invisible energy, twisting the air around him. He blocked the door of the lobby like a demon god descending, and said in a deep voice:

"It's obviously a happy day, why do people always seek death?"
