Fake Taoists in the world of film and television

Chapter 287 Lin Family Fort

"Master Li, what are you waiting for if you don't take action?"

Yi Buhuo burped, raised his leg and kicked Li Xiaoyao.

The three of them hid behind the corner and observed Liu Jinyuan who was surrounded from front to back in the alley.

"Why do you beat someone? If you beat him like this, you won't pay for it."

Liu Jinyuan swallowed and looked at the villain whose face was covered in blood when he hit the wall. He suddenly felt that it was actually quite cost-effective to spend a small amount of money to treat their head.

"How much do you want?"

"Twelve!"

Listening to the other party's quotation, Liu Jinyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He could still get it for just ten taels.

"Here are 100 taels. Go and have a look at your head. The injury to your head can be big or small. Don't delay your condition."

"No, didn't you say it was only ten taels? Why are there so many?"

The gangster hired by Li Xiaoyao was at a loss at this time. Is this "fake champion" so easy to talk to?

Li Xiaoyao found the two of them before and told them that Liu Jinyuan was the fake number one scholar, and he himself was the real number one scholar in the new science.

He tricked the two of them into teaching Liu Jinyuan a lesson without even paying for it, letting them blackmail themselves and get whatever they got.

The two ruffians, who were not very smart, actually believed it and agreed without saying a word.

However, Liu Jinyuan has always been polite and generous in giving money, but now the two of them are vaguely at a loss.

"Then why don't we fight?"

"Of course I want to fight!"

The two discussed it and decided to take action. Although Liu Jinyuan seemed to be a good person, he couldn't give up halfway after taking on all the work.

Just as he was about to take action, Li Xiaoyao was kicked out by Yi Buhuo. In desperation, he had no choice but to make the mistake, kicking two bamboo poles away and hitting them heavily on their chests.

"you are not……"

"What is it? Why don't you run away when you see me, Hero Li, doing my heroic deeds?"

Seeing that Li Xiaoyao was going to continue to attack, the two of them quickly ran away without looking back. Although they didn't know why the mastermind was crazy, they already had the money anyway, so they ran away first.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for saving your life. Jin Yuan is grateful."

Although Liu Jinyuan was almost repaired, he never showed any panic from the beginning to the end. The word etiquette was almost engraved in his bones.

"What's the use of just being grateful? Is there any repayment?"

Li Xiaoyao still resented how he behaved in front of Zhao Ling'er. He also spoke very harshly and rolled his eyes almost to the sky.

"..."

Liu Jinyuan didn't find it vulgar, but found it interesting. Li Xiaoyao's free spirit and straightforward nature made him feel that this was the behavior of a chivalrous man.

"I will take care of all the expenses and accommodations of Mr. Li and the three benefactors here in the future, so that Jin Yuan can repay his life-saving kindness."

Looking at the big words "Lin Family Fort" above his head, Li Xiaoyao retracted the dullness in his eyes. He had never lived in such a big place in his life.

“It’s quite a big place to walk from the front garden to here, but there are too few places to move around...”

Li Xiaoyao was a bit annoyed and unbalanced in his heart. He was a little nervous for no reason and had a sense of crisis. He had to find a reason to rush.

"This is your family?"

"Young Master Li is joking. This is my uncle's house. My family lives in Chang'an."

"..."

Li Xiaoyao was even more depressed. Even if he was from the countryside, he knew that Chang'an was where the emperor lived, and it must be bigger and more prosperous than here.

"Please put away your little expression and look like you have never seen the world."

Yi Buhuo stepped on the green grass under his feet and compared it with his own kennel. Sure enough, this place was still suitable for him.

"Don't you also live in Shilipo, how much better than me?"

Li Xiaoyao snorted and pressed in a low voice.

"I think back then I was in and out of the palace compound, and the emperors and princes treated each other with courtesy. Now I just retreat to the countryside. How can I be compared to you?"

Yi Buhuo weighed the gold medal around his waist and deliberately waved it in front of Li Xiaoyao's eyes, feeling a murderous aura coming towards him.

"Haven't you asked your son yet?"

Liu Jinyuan also cast his gaze over. It sounded like this young man who had never had any sense of existence seemed to have an extraordinary background.

"His name is Yi Buhuo. Just tell him that he can't survive. Don't listen to his nonsense. I don't even know which dynasty he belongs to. His current profession is that of a charlatan."

Before Yi Buhuo cleared his throat, Li Xiaoyao on the side started chattering and shook off his family fortune.

"Looking at Mr. Yi's age, he doesn't look like someone from the previous dynasty..."

Liu Jinyuan coughed, his eyes roving on his face and the gold medal around his waist.

Can all today's charlatans speak out openly?

You must know that counterfeiting a gold medal is not a trivial matter, and if word spreads about it, people will be killed!
"Don't listen to his nonsense. I didn't say that this gold medal is from the previous dynasty. I made it in the blacksmith shop. It's not gold, it's actually copper. Mr. Liu, don't worry about it."

Yi Buhuo tightly covered Li Xiaoyao's mouth. Liu Jinyuan was the number one scholar and the teacher of the current emperor. If Li Xiaoyao continued to speak, their journey would be over now.

Tomorrow they will be pushed out of the Meridian Gate, and the three of them will line up in a row and land on the ground...

"So that's it. Mr. Li, please don't speak carelessly, or you may bring trouble to yourself."

Liu Jinyuan reminded him that he did not take this matter to heart. Regardless of whether Yi Buhuo was a liar or not, Li Xiaoyao had saved him after all. There was no point in getting to the bottom of it.

"copper?"

Li Xiaoyao broke free from Yi Buhuo's hand, understood his hint and quickly made amends, "Yes, it's made of copper. How can we have something as high-end as gold on us."

"Ling'er, I heard that there is a beef noodle shop here that is particularly delicious. Can I take you to eat it?"

"beef noodles?"

Yi Buhuo suddenly lost interest, "I won't go. The Linjiabao is so big, you can't have beef noodles, right?"

"I didn't want to take you there!"

Li Xiaoyao took Ling'er and disappeared in a flash, leaving only Yi Buhuo alone in Linjiabao.

"Come here, serve me big fish and meat!"

Yi Buhuo made a loud cut, and directly called for the food to be served.

Lin Zhennan was the dominant figure in Suzhou City, and he and others were Liu Jinyuan's saviors. Why should he be greedy for a bowl of beef noodles when he didn't have anything to eat?

"Mr. Yi, where are Mr. Li's benefactor and Miss Ling'er?"

I have to say that Liu Jinyuan is very good. Not long after he settled in, he took the initiative to ask for help. Even Yi Buhuo thought he was a good person.

"They are out shopping, do you have anything to do with them?"

"That's not true. Jin Yuan just wanted to show his friendship as a landlord. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

Liu Jinyuan smiled slightly and took a look at the dishes on the table. Seeing that Yi Buhuo had no intention of staying as a guest, he bowed and left.

"No, Xiaoyao is going to die!"

Yi Buhuo's heart suddenly suddenly stood up, which startled him.

"Master Yi, how come..."

Before Liu Jinyuan could ask the question, he was nowhere to be found in the room. If it weren't for the steaming food on the table, he would have thought he was dreaming.

Who can disappear so quickly?
"Sure enough, the people around Master Li's benefactor are not simple..."

When Yi Buhuo stopped, he was already outside the city. There was no movement in the woods, as if everything was over.

"It's really over..."

Li Xiaoyao was lying on the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and Zhao Ling'er was lying on top of him motionless. This scene was like the thief had succeeded, leaving only two corpses.

"I insisted on eating some beef noodles. I'm fine now. I almost lost my life."

"Avalokitesvara mantra?"

Yi Buhuo held Zhao Ling'er's wrist, but his spiritual power was exhausted, and he must have cast an immortal technique just now.

Looking at Li Xiaoyao again, he understood everything. There were still traces of the Guanyin Curse on his body.

It must have been that Zhao Ling'er cast the Guanyin Curse in order to save Li Xiaoyao, which caused him to consume too much energy and fell into a coma.

But luckily she is here, otherwise Li Xiaoyao would be dead!

"I actually ignored this plot. I've really been slack lately."

Yi Buhuo patted his head, he almost forgot the scene where Li Xiaoyao met Lin Yueru for the first time after coming to Suzhou.

Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er happened to meet Lin Yueru after they came out. The people on the street dispersed as if they had met the devil.

Out of curiosity, he followed her to the outside of the city and found Lin Yueru whipping two servants.

Zhao Ling'er couldn't bear to see the two of them injured under Lin Yueru's whip, so she asked Li Xiaoyao to save them.

Although Li Xiaoyao is extremely talented, he has not learned martial arts for a long time, and his current strength is on par with Lin Yueru.

Relying on the difference between men and women and the Feilong Cloud Exploration Skill passed down from his father Li Sansi, Lin Yueru was able to surrender.

But after they tied Lin Yueru to a tree and left, Zhao Linger felt that it was not good to do so, so she persuaded Li Xiaoyao to come back.

He even managed to beat away two gangsters who wanted to thank God for giving them a beautiful girl they couldn't resist.

Just after Zhao Ling'er untied her, Lin Yueru took advantage of them not paying attention, drew her sword and stabbed Li Xiaoyao through the chest, frightening everyone present on the spot.

Including herself!
In order to save Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er cast the Guanyin Curse and rescued Li Xiaoyao, but she also fell into a coma from exhaustion.

"Missed another famous scene, damn it!"

Yi Buhuo sighed and slapped Li Xiaoyao awake.

"Go back with me behind your wife's back."

"What happened to Ling'er?"

Seeing that Zhao Ling'er was unconscious, Li Xiaoyao didn't care about the slap mark on his face and helped her up in a panic.

"It's just a loss of strength, don't worry."

Yi Buhuo comforted him, turned around and took him away.

But there were some things he didn't say.

Zhao Ling'er's spiritual energy was consumed too much, and Li Xiaoyao's body had already begun to appear scales, and Li Xiaoyao's real body might appear in the near future.

I don't know if Li Xiaoyao can accept this matter. He still needs to see Zhao Ling'er's attitude first.

People in this era are prejudiced against demons after all. Even if Zhao Ling'er is not a demon, outsiders and even herself don't know that Yi Buhuo will not impose his ideas on them.

However, he always believed that Li Xiaoyao would not really dislike Ling'er because of this, but it was still too early for him now.

Li Xiaoyao hasn't had much experience yet, and his character hasn't improved much. He's still just a glib and cheerful kid.

Telling him the truth now will only make him collapse instead of facing it calmly.

"Zhuangyuanlang, do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

Li Xiaoyao sat on the bedside to take care of the unconscious Zhao Ling'er, while Yi Buhuo sat motionless on the stool and counted Liu Jinyuan's steps.

No wonder……

"Why did Young Master Yi say this?"

"You have to stop every seven steps, and you also stop every seven times when shaking the fan. This is obviously obsessive-compulsive disorder!"

"Really? Jin Yuan didn't even notice it himself."

Liu Jinyuan was stunned. When he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he did have this habit. Even when he went out in the morning, he had to walk seven steps before going back to check the door lock.

Take another seven steps and squat down to clean your shoes...

"Is this symptom called obsessive-compulsive disorder? Is there any way to change it?"

The more Liu Jinyuan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He couldn't really be sick, could he?
"I have a hardcover pill here that can cure all diseases. The price is 200 taels!"

Yi Buhuo took out a small wooden box from his bag and showed a bright smile.

"This……"

Liu Jinyuan was still hesitating, not because he couldn't afford the price, but because he didn't have confidence in the so-called Dali Pill.

"Ling'er, you're awake!"

Li Xiaoyao's voice interrupted his entanglement, and without thinking about whether he had been deceived, he quickly walked to the bed to visit Zhao Ling'er.

"Master Li, please help Miss Ling'er wipe her face. It will make you feel better."

Liu Jinyuan handed over a towel, and Li Xiaoyao took it hesitantly. The champion was quite considerate.

"Mr. Li, you don't wipe your face like this, let me do it!"

Li Xiaoyao wiped it for a while, but Liu Jinyuan couldn't stand it anymore. Are you wiping his face?Just flirting there...

"It's not just wiping your face, how else can you wipe it?"

Li Xiaoyao snorted and reluctantly gave up his position.

"There is also a technique to wiping the face. Pay attention to a rhythm, which can effectively clear the meridians."

Liu Jinyuan demonstrated and gently wiped Zhao Linger's forehead.

"Left, one, two...seven!"

"Right, one, two...seven!"

It was only after Liu Jinyuan finished wiping that he realized something was wrong. After all, his disease had penetrated deep into his bones.

"How is this different from what I wiped?"

Li Xiaoyao was still dissatisfied.

"Brother Xiaoyao, I really feel a lot more comfortable."

Zhao Ling'er's words gave him a heavy blow.

"Master Yi, I want your Dali Pill, it's 200 taels!"

Liu Jinyuan walked up to Yi Buhuo without hesitation, took out the banknote and slapped it on the table, picked up the small wooden box and stuffed it into his arms.

"Master, Miss is back!"

A maid burst in excitedly, shouting and not looking happy at all, but more nervous.

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

Liu Jinyuan poured a cup of tea and didn't care at all.

"But she killed someone!"

Snapped!
The teacup fell in response, as broken as his broken heart.

Seeing Liu Jinyuan running out, Yi Buhuo and Li Xiaoyao looked at each other. Can they miss this excitement?

Of course I have to check it out.

"Cousin, how could you kill someone?"

As soon as Liu Jinyuan walked to the backyard, he saw his uncle Lin Zhennan and his cousin Lin Yueru who he was thinking of were getting together.

"I did not do it on purpose."

The panic on Lin Yueru's face was visible to the naked eye. Although he was the eldest lady of the Lin Family Fort and had always been unruly and willful, this was the first time for her to kill someone.

"Are you sure he is really dead?"

"I don't know, I just saw him on the ground and I left."

"All right!"

Lin Zhennan interrupted the communication between the two, "I'll handle this matter. The Jianghu people lost the martial arts competition and died of serious injuries. No one will say anything."

Obviously, he meant to characterize the matter. After all, it was his daughter, so it was certainly not right to kill her by mistake.

But as long as it works well, the officers and soldiers will definitely not care if it is changed to a martial arts competition between Jianghu people.

The Lin Jiabao family has a great business and is a famous martial arts family, so it is not too troublesome to deal with this matter.

Liu Jinyuan remained silent. When it came to his cousin Lin Yueru, he couldn't think of a better way.

Lin Yueru tilted her head with a guilty conscience. Although it was for her own good, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. Unexpectedly, she saw Li Xiaoyao's figure.

"How do you..."

"How do you..."

Li Xiaoyao was also stunned. The road between enemies was narrow, and that evil woman actually appeared here!
