It was said that the two Night Walkers were entangled with Tong Lin. One used a knife and the other used a crutch, and Tong Lin was killed.
When Tong Lin saw this, he was greatly displeased! I might as well send them away quickly. Thinking up to here, Tong Lin pulled out the Mother and Child Chicken Claw Mandarin Duck Axe, and with a split of his hands, he fought with these two people. Don't look at how these two people were jumping around happily. Their martial arts were far inferior to Tong Lin's. After a few rounds, there was a clang as the young man's sword fell to the ground. What was going on? As it turned out, Tong Lin had used the chicken claw on the axe to catch the other party's short saber. Then, he gently pulled it into his embrace and pulled the short saber in the other party's hand to the ground.
Tong Lin followed up with the book and feigned his two battle axes while he kicked the monk from below, causing him to somersault. If Tong Lin had followed him, he could have ended his life with a single strike, but Tong Lin didn't do that. He stepped back and handed the two axes to one hand."Friend, we have no grudges against each other. Run for your lives!”The two young men were stunned when they heard that. It took them a long time to come to their senses.”As they spoke, the two of them flew up the wall and smiled at Tong Lin."Tong, let's leave yours and ours. We might come to you one day when we're happy!”With that, he turned around and left.
Tong Lin bent down and picked up the short saber from under the wall. He sighed to the young man on the wall,""Hey, take care. Bring your saber!" With a whoosh, Tong Lin threw the saber up. The young man caught the knife and stabbed it into his back. The two of them swayed and disappeared.
Tong Lin waited for a while more. Seeing that they had indeed left, he let out a long breath, wiped the axe clean, and put it into the glove on his back.
Tong Lin came to the Baylor's courtyard and pricked up his ears to listen. Not bad, it didn't alarm the Baylor at all. He walked around the courtyard again until dawn. Tong Lin saw that the people in the front yard had also gotten up. They were sweeping the yard and tidying up the house. Everyone was busy. Only then did he relax and return to his room to rest.
Tong Lin thought that Prince Yong didn't know about this matter, but who knew that he was wrong.
Last night, Yin did not sleep at all. Don't look at the lights in the room, Yin is lying in bed thinking about something. What was he thinking? He was secretly blaming his father, Emperor Kangxi, saying that he was almost sixty years old. Why didn't he quickly make a will? If anything happens to you, who will be in charge of this country? We have dozens of brothers. Can it fall on my head? It looks like it's going to be tough. My father might not even pass the throne to anyone! He tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Just as he was worrying, he heard someone talking in the courtyard. Yin quickly got up and put on his clothes. He took the sword from the wall and held it in his hand. He poked a small hole in the window and peeked out. The things that Tong Lin said and did with those two people outside didn't escape Yin's eyes and ears at all. He even knew clearly that Tong Lin and those two people had reached out to each other in the courtyard.
After daybreak, the Fourth Prince got up. The servants served him to clean his mouth, wash his noodles, and eat breakfast. After a while, Yin asked He Chun to call Tong Lin.
He Chun came to the west courtyard and ran to Tong Lin's room. Tong Lin had just entered the house and was about to rest on the brick bed. When he saw Head Chief He Chun enter, he hurriedly stood up to welcome him."Good morning, Chief!" "Morning, morning! Mrs. Tong, I have something to tell you. I want you to go now.”"Sigh!" Tong Lin didn't know what was going on, but he got up and went to the Baylor's study. Tong Lin greeted the Baylor and stood to the side with his hands down. Yin put down the teacup and asked Tong Lin,""Tong Lin!" "Yes!" "How many days have you been in our residence?”"It's been seven or eight days.”"Oh. How did I treat you?" "Master's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain!" "Since I owe you so much, you shouldn't hide anything from me!”When Tong Lin heard this, his head buzzed. What did he mean? What did he mean? Aiyo, what happened last night might have alarmed the Baylor. Tong Lin was so frightened that he knelt on the ground." I wouldn't dare!”"Get up and talk. Haichuan, don't be afraid. I saw everything that happened last night.”"I deserve to die!" "Sigh, you didn't do anything wrong. You did the right thing. It's better to resolve hatred than to settle it! If you had sent them to the government last night and sentenced them to prison and convicted them, that would have been good. However, they also have three relatives and six friends. If you capture him, it's equivalent to offending others. They still don't give up and even want to cause trouble in this prince's residence to take revenge on you. Wouldn't that deepen the hatred? You did the right thing by letting them go. This king doesn't blame you.”"Thank you for your wisdom!" Tong Lin thought to himself, This Baylor is really not bad, he is really a good official! Lord Baylor continued," Haichuan, I heard the two of them say before they left that they would come again when they are happy. You have to be prepared. You might not be able to prevent them from coming again."”"Master, don't worry. I'm fine, but you have to be careful!”"Yeah, I think so too. How about this? I'll inform the Military Department of the five cities and ask them to send some troops over.”"Master, there's no need. These Night Walkers can leap over roofs and climb walls, and they can go high up. They all have unique skills. No matter how many troops you mobilize, you won't be able to catch them. Master, it's enough to have me!" "Alright, I'll listen to you. Go back to your room and rest." Tong Lin left.
When he returned to his room, Tong Lin could not fall asleep no matter what. He had been extremely sleepy just now, but after talking to the Baylor, his sleepiness disappeared. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the burden he shouldered was not light. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the two thieves would enter the Baylor Palace again. It was unknown when Tong Lin had fallen asleep.
The next night, Tong Lin waited until dawn, but he didn't see anyone.
On the third day, he waited for another night, and nothing happened.
Let's talk about this night alone. Just after the scheduled night watch, Tong Lin was walking around the wangfu when he saw five black shadows jump into the hall from the west wall. Tong Lin took a look. Oh, he really came! And three of them! Tong Lin stretched out his hand and pulled out his pair of gloves, dashing towards the five black shadows. At this moment, the five black shadows jumped to the center of the courtyard at the same time.
Walking closer, Tong Lin borrowed the moonlight to take a look. Two of them were the two thieves that he had chased away that night. Tong Lin had never seen the other three before. There was a leader among them. He had a pale face, a sharp chin, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. He was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. He wore a green robe and carried an empty scabbard on his back. He held a sharp wing goose feather saber in his hand. Monk Xiao Qiao took a step forward and pointed at Tong Lin.""Surnamed Tong, this poor monk will keep his word, right? I've been busy these two days and didn't have the time to come. I'm here to look for you today. I can't say it, I can't say it. We want to take revenge!”"Monks, I welcome you!" Tong Lin smiled. However, I still don't know why you're here. How about this? Although the Baylor Palace can't be compared to the Three-Foot Forbidden Area, it's still an important place. You've committed an unpardonable crime by stirring up trouble. Didn't you want to find me, Tong Haichuan? Alright, let's set a time and place. I, Tong Haichuan, will accompany you to the end! What do you think?" "Nonsense! You talk so much about this Imperial Residence, what's the big deal? If This Penniless Monk was afraid, then he wouldn't have come. If he came, then he wouldn't be afraid! Senior Brother, it's this kid!" The small monk turned his face and called out to the little leader.
The leader pressed down on his saber with his right hand and came before Tong Lin."Is your name Tong Haichuan?" "That's right, it's me." "I heard that you still have some skills. You beat up our two junior brothers. Today, I can't say it, I can't say it. I have to avenge my junior brother! Don't run, take the saber!" Before he finished speaking, he slashed at Tong Lin, who dodged in a flash. This young man pulled out his knife and slashed again. Tong Lin dodged the attack again. The young man clamped his leg between his legs and kicked at Tong Lin's lower abdomen. Tong Lin dodged again. The two of them fought for six or seven rounds before the young man finally understood why his two junior brothers were beaten up. As expected, this Tong fellow's movements were agile and extraordinary! The young man thought to himself, I can't even touch his clothes, what revenge can I take? The young man thought so in his heart, but his hands became tighter and tighter, faster and faster. After seventeen or eighteen rounds, he still could not tell the winner. Actually, Tong Lin didn't return it at all. The young man knew that he couldn't resist the other party, so he quickly waved his hand behind him."Junior Brother, what are you guys looking at behind?”"Sigh, it's here!" Tong Lin thought to himself,'Alright, all five of you are coming up!' In an instant, Tong Lin raised his hand behind him, and with a swoosh, he pulled out the Mother-Child Chicken Claw Mandarin Duck Axe, ready to fight these five Night Walkers.
As the saying goes, a strong wolf can't resist many dragons, and a good man can't resist many people. However, the five people in front of Tong Lin, even if they added up their abilities, they still couldn't match up to Tong Lin. Tong Lin thought to himself,'There are many people, what's so great about having many people?' What, you want to win with numbers so that you can take advantage of me? He thought about it. It wouldn't be easy for him to deal with the five of them alone. I might as well turn them into trees. Thinking of this, Tong Lin bent over and turned his body. Shua, shua, shua, shua, shua shua, shua When the five of them looked, they saw Tong Lin on the left, Tong Lin on the right, Tong Lin in front, and Tong Lin behind. They could not tell which was the real Tong Lin and which was the fake Tong Lin. All of them were dazzled and flustered. Tong Lin turned around and came to the front of the young man in charge. He swung his two battle axes and kicked him from the bottom. The kick landed on the man's thigh, and with a plop, the young man fell to the ground. Tong Lin dashed out a few meters away and handed the two axes to one hand."Get up. Run for your lives!" When these few people saw Tong Lin put away his weapon and stop fighting, they secretly let out a long sigh. The young man who was the leader blushed and stood up from the ground. He picked up his lost saber and nodded at Tong Lin,""Forget it, thank you for being magnanimous, Teacher Tong! Green mountains do not fall, green water flows forever. We will meet again in another year. Goodbye!" The young man whistled, and the five of them disappeared in an instant. Tong Lin thought to himself,'This young man is quite sensible.' It seemed like he had been deceived by others on this trip. He hoped that they would never come again.
Tong Lin carried his weapon and walked into the house. When he arrived at the front of the hall, he saw that the Fourth Prince had already woken up. At this moment, he was wearing a cloak and was standing on the steps to watch the show. Tong Lin quickly knelt on the ground and paid his respects to the Baylor. He extended his hand to support him,"Haichuan, you're really good at fighting five people alone! This king was very nervous as he watched. If he saw that he couldn't do it, he would go and call everyone. Good, good, good! That's great!" Speaking of this person, it was really hard to say who hit it off with whom. Let's take Tong Lin for example. His every move and action, there's nothing that the Baylor doesn't like or dislike. Tong Lin stood up after paying his respects. Yin let Tong Lin into the house and rewarded him with a bowl of tea. The two of them started talking about martial arts. "Master, don't worry. In my opinion, they won't come again.”"I hope so! Actually, this king doesn't care. If it really doesn't work, I still have the army here. Hahaha…Go back and have a good sleep. I'll treat you to dinner tonight.”When Tong Lin heard that, what? The Baylor wants to treat me to a meal? Tong Lin quickly knelt down and thanked him,"I wouldn't dare!" Master, please rest. I'll take my leave."
Ever since then, Tong Lin continued to patrol every night and never let his guard down. In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Everything was fine. Tong Lin thought to himself,'This group of people probably left. Although I didn't ask where they were from, their accent sounded like they were from Shandong.' If they were really from that place, it would be difficult for them to come back again after such a long journey. When Tong Lin thought of this, his heart gradually relaxed.
Unknowingly, Tong Lin had already been in the Baylor Manor for an entire month. Today was the first time he had paid the salary. He only had one tael of silver on hand. He had saved the rest.
On this day alone, Tong Lin finished his night shift and planned to go out for a walk. He also wanted to find a bathhouse to take a good bath. Tong Lin went to the street and strolled from the front gate to Dazhalan, Zhushikou, and all the way to the bridge. Finally, he found a bathhouse and took a comfortable hot bath. Tong Lin walked out of the bathhouse and saw that the sun was about to set. He hurriedly walked towards the Baylor Manor.
Tong Lin returned to the Baylor Manor. The moment he entered the house, he happened to bump into Head Chief He Chun coming out from inside. "Aiyo, Mrs. Tong, you're finally back!”"I'm back. What's the matter?" "Yes! I'm so anxious!" Tong Lin's heart tightened when he heard that. "What's wrong? Did something happen in the residence?" "No, nothing happened in the residence. Listen to me. As soon as you left this morning, an old man came. He said he was looking for you. We told him that you just went out and asked him to come back later. He had not left for long before he returned. We just asked him what his name was, where he came from, and why he was looking for you. He didn't say a word and sat at the gatehouse for more than two hours. Seeing that you hadn't returned, he left. In short, he came eight times a day and left a note for you. Take a look.”He Chun said as he handed the note to Tong Lin. Tong Lin opened the note and saw a few words written on it: After breakfast tomorrow, they would meet at the Earth Altar. Tong Lin thought to himself,'Who is this old man? I don't have many friends in Beijing, but it doesn't seem like a friend. Could it be that you're looking for me to have a competition again? This was unavoidable. Tong Lin thought for a moment. Could it be that this old man was related to that group of people from a few days ago? Thinking of this, Tong Lin said to He Chun,""Lord Chief, I beg you for one thing.”"Teacher, if you have something to say, say it." "Do you know about this?”"How can I let him know!" "It's best if you don't tell him about this, in case Master misses me. I'm going to take a look tomorrow to find out.”"Teacher Tong, I saw that the old man had sharp eyes. He was carrying a long bag in his hand. Are you bringing a few people with you tomorrow? You're alone, and it's hard for you to make a sound alone. If something happens to you, you can…" Even if an accident happens, I have a way.”"Alright, then you have to pay more attention!”"Sigh, I understand."
Tong Lin returned to his room and lay down on the brick bed. He started thinking about these things. It seemed that life was not easy. In the past, he was worried when he didn't have food to eat, but now that he had food to eat and even showed his face, he was still worried. The road of life was so bumpy! He didn't know if tomorrow's meeting at the Earth Altar would be auspicious or ominous.
If you want to know the good or bad luck of Tong Lin, look at the next chapter.
