Chapter 248
When the sun set in the west, a group of people set out from the Document Inn.
Since the Zhao family members were going as county guards, their first stop was to go to the government office.
On both sides of the street, there were people watching everywhere, and it was noisy for a while.
"Look, the one in white is General Jianbai. He killed two enemy generals with one man. He looks a bit more handsome than the rumors say."
"Surrounded in the middle is Counselor Lin, who looks very handsome."
"I was lucky enough to see Counselor Lin, and I died with no regrets."
"Look at the soldiers wearing heavy armor next to General Jianbai. They are so handsome."
"Half-masked and wearing heavy armor, these should be General Jianbai's personal guards."
"Slow down and let me take a second look."
Perhaps they heard the cries of the people watching, but their steps were not big.
Lin Xiaofan kept looking around, his face slightly red, and he could feel the feeling of being a star.
Perhaps it was because the surrounding guards were too murderous, or perhaps because the people of Qingzhou County respected the two of them, the people around them consciously stepped aside from official duties and did not get too close.
"Brother Lin, are you nervous?"
Jian Bai turned around and asked, with a smile on his face. After living for so long, this was the first time he experienced what it felt like to be loved by the people.
"Everything is under control."
Lin Xiaofan said calmly, his face full of indifference.
His trump cards include not only Jian Bai and others, but also Yuanyang Formation and Lei Zhenzi.
These two things may be much more effective in dealing with a reckless man like Chen Ziyang. At that time, it is not certain who will kill whom.
"Don't worry, I will protect your safety when the time comes."
Jian Bai patted Lin Xiaofan on the shoulder, his face full of fighting spirit.
After the battle in Qingzhou, he hadn't moved his muscles for a long time.
"Wait a moment, the guards around me will form a formation, your people can just interfere for a while."
Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth to remind him.
If Jian Bai's people are too close, it may affect the performance of the Yuanyang Formation.
"Brother Lin, do you still have formations? After this incident is over, can you teach me."
Jian Bai asked shamelessly.
We are going to Yantian County soon. It is always good to have an extra trump card.
"Is there any benefit?"
Lin Xiaofan glanced at Jian Bai and asked slyly.
Soon Jian Bai will go elsewhere and take advantage of this opportunity to kill this old friend again.
Seeing Lin Xiaofan's appearance, Jian Bai suddenly became more vigilant and asked cautiously:
"What do you want? Let's talk about it first. I haven't even received my salary yet, so I don't have any money to ask for."
But even if the other lion opened his mouth, he would admit it.
After all, the formation produced by Lin Xiaofan is definitely not bad at all.
"How about you lend me half of the personal guards around you? I will return it to you in two years."
Lin Xiaofan raised his eyebrows and spoke directly without being polite.
So far, he is not short of money at all, and Jianfeng is also looking for all kinds of ores for him.
What he lacks most is the manpower to protect him.
"Are you kidding? These are my brothers who have been through life and death!"
When Jian Bai heard this, he immediately became anxious.
These are the people he carefully selected from the Qingzhou Army, and everyone can equal one to ten.
Moreover, during the battle in Fangcheng, these people followed him through life and death.
"I will give you two at most. When the time comes, I will dispatch four more secret guards from the family to protect you."
Jian Bai gritted his teeth and finally spoke.
"make a deal!"
Lin Xiaofan agreed immediately.
These were Jian Bai's trump cards for going to Xia Tian, and he never thought he would come half way.
When everyone arrived at the government office, the county magistrate was already waiting at the door, followed by a group of officials and government servants. The pomp was quite sufficient.
"Hero, please come in quickly."
The county magistrate hurriedly greeted him warmly.
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly and asked:
"Magistrate Liu, how are you doing lately?"
The two had drank together before and were considered acquaintances.
"Haha, thanks to Brother Tuolin, life is pretty good. Brother Lin, come in and sit down. It's cold outside."
Magistrate Liu said with a smile.
"Magistrate Liu, let's not sit down and go directly. Brother Lin is the protagonist of this banquet, so let's go early."
Jian Bai on the side said.
Go earlier so you can make arrangements earlier.
"That's fine, everything is at your discretion."
Magistrate Liu kept his attitude very low. After all, the status of the people in front of him was not comparable to that of a magistrate like him.
And as long as he can succeed this time, he will be considered to have made a contribution, and his future will be bright.
If he wants to succeed, all he needs to do is be obedient.
The distance from Li Feng Town to Li Feng Lake was not far, but in only three quarters of an hour, everyone had reached it.
The lake is surrounded by plains and there are not many trees. Some snow dotted the area. There are several large boats on the lake, and it seems that each boat can seat dozens of people.
Beside the lake, there are several tents standing in a forest, and there are many cooking utensils around.
"The weather today is pretty good."
Looking at the cloudless sky, Lin Xiaofan murmured to himself.
I just hope that it can be brighter at night, and it will be much more difficult for the Chen family to assassinate.
As soon as everyone arrived, dozens more people came behind them. Most of them look like guards. The leader took a few steps forward and came forward to say hello:
"Counsel Lin, you're here so early."
Lin Xiaofan looked at the person in front of him and felt the hair on his body stand up, and subconsciously wanted to take a step back.
He felt threatened and murderous in this man. If it weren't for the many guards around him, he might have subconsciously taken a few steps back.
"Hey, Chen Ziyang, you're welcome! I didn't expect that my brother's fame would be so great that he would attract you."
Jian Bai took a few steps forward, not timid at all.
"Counsel Lin has made such a great contribution, and I happen to be nearby, so I must come to celebrate."
Chen Hun on the side was afraid that Chen Ziyang would say the wrong thing, so he quickly grabbed the right to speak.
Their plan was to attack at night, and it was better to avoid causing trouble now.
"My Lord Magistrate, why don't we have this banquet on the boat? It's warm inside the cabin, and the lights are brighter."
Chen Hun then spoke, his face full of cunning.
"Yes, I also think it would be good to do it in the boat."
Shen Tianyu on the side also spoke in agreement.
"No, I'm seasick."
Lin Xiaofan refused directly.
If you really go to the boat, you won't even have a place to run, which is equivalent to blocking all your own ways of survival.
When Chen Hun heard this, he wanted to say something more, but for a moment he felt unable to refute.
While a few people were chatting, another group of people came, led by Jiang Li.
"Counsel Lin, General Jianbai, County Magistrate Liu."
The head of the Jiang family stepped forward quickly and saluted several people.
Behind him was a scholar-like man who looked to be thirty years old. He held a whisk in his hand and also saluted.
After that, he looked at Lin Xiaofan and Jian Bai and smiled softly.
"Brother Jianbai, Brother Lin."
Jiang Li waved to the two of them with a smile on his face. Looking at his happy look, the Jiang family must have chosen to side with Lin Xiaofan. No matter how bad it is, it is still neutral.
