The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 32 Hesitation
When he arrived at the county government office, Lin Bai saw a bald man from a distance.

The bald man also stretched his neck and looked over here.

"My dear brother Zhuanlun!" Niu Er hurried forward, took off Lin Bai's medicine box, and carried it on his back.

"..." Lin Bai couldn't stand this address, but he still spoke up and asked knowingly: "Brother Niu, it's already evening, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"We don't know either!" Niu Er's face fell, he really didn't know, he just led the way, "Come with me, I've arranged a place for you."

"Thank you, Brother Niu." Lin Bai bowed.

"Don't dare to call me Brother Niu anymore." Niu Er walked along with a flattering smile, saying, "Please say a few good words to Madam in the future."

"Of course." Lin Bai agreed naturally, thinking to himself, I don't care about you saying that I'm weak in front of Sister Ren.

After entering the county government office and turning to the backyard gate, Niu Er let Lin Bai go in by himself.

Pei Ning was sitting in the pavilion, surrounded by six gray-robed swordsmen, seemingly arranging something.

Ren Qiaoyun was waiting nearby. Although she was dressed luxuriously, she looked like an old maid serving others.

Lin Bai stood still on his feet. Ren Qiaoyun saw Lin Bai coming and hurried over.

"Come with me." Ren Qiaoyun's expression was solemn, as if she had become a different person, and she led Lin Bai to a room.

After closing the door, Ren Qiaoyun finally smiled, her passion hard to conceal.

Lin Bai put down the medicine box, his heart pounding.

"You just rest here tonight, and go out only when someone calls you." Ren Qiaoyun advised.

"Yes. If it weren't for my sister's advice, I wouldn't know what to do." Lin Bai cupped his hands and asked, "Why don't you see the county master?"

The county lord was not seen during the day's operations, and he was not seen when I first arrived either. It was as if he had disappeared.

"What's wrong? Do you have something to say to me, but are you afraid that he will hear it?" Ren Qiaoyun giggled.

Lin Bai had a great headache. His original intention was to get some information, but he encountered someone who was not relevant and there was nothing he could do.

"Look how scared you are." Ren Qiaoyun saw that Lin Bai didn't say anything, thinking that Lin Bai was really frightened, she sat down and said, "It was the man named Jiang who injured him, and he is recovering in the garden."

She did not look sad, but rather proud, as if it was something to be proud of that a man fought for her.

"I see." Lin Bai nodded and asked, "Brother Jiang, did you just walk away and not care about anything?"

"Who knows?" Ren Qiaoyun obviously didn't want to talk about this. She pinched Lin Bai's arm, and then her index and middle fingers moved around on Lin Bai's body like little men.

This woman is nearly thirty years old, but her charm is really irresistible.

"Don't be anxious, sister. There will be many opportunities in the future." Lin Bai held her wrist.

"You can hold yourself together, much better than that Jiang guy."

After saying that, she turned around, opened the door, and smiled again, "Then I'll leave first. You just rest here and don't go out unless necessary." Then she closed the door.

After a while, a maid brought wine and food, and specifically said that it was Ren Qiaoyun's order.

Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. Lin Bai didn't act pretentiously and just sat down to eat.

After finishing his meal, Lin Bai did not enter the stone plate to practice his internal skills, but just listened quietly to the noise outside.

Just as it was midnight, there was a sudden movement outside.

There was the sound of tiles being broken by footsteps, and quite a few people came.

Although Lin Bai had not seen the people, he had a rough assessment: most of the visitors were third-rate, and even if there were many people, they were all there to give gifts.

After a while, flames shot up into the sky outside.

Lin Bai guessed that this was probably the intention of the intruder to cause panic.

Sure enough, the sound of swords clashing was soon heard.

Lin Bai took this opportunity to quickly open the door and shouted, "The fire is coming! Fire...eh?"

I saw a man standing at the door outside, wearing black clothes, holding a sword, standing straight with his back to me.

It was Pei Ning. "I didn't even hear when she came..." Lin Bai had a higher opinion of Pei Ning's ability.

At this time, the yard was full of corpses. The six gray-clothed swordsmen seemed to have formed some kind of formation. Any assassin who stepped forward would be easily strangled to death.

The assassins killed for a while, left behind a few corpses, and fled in all directions.

The six gray-clad swordsmen did not pursue him, but instead surrounded the one in black.

Lin Bai guessed that this man should be the leader.

"Pei Ning! Why do you have to force me so hard?" The black-clothed man had an old voice and was very tall. He danced with the sword in his hand perfectly and his breath did not show any sign of weakening. The six gray-clothed swordsmen could not do anything to him for a while.

"These gray-clothed men are much inferior to Jiang Rong. After all, Jiang Rong is a walking figure. This old man should be above second-rate, and he is definitely considered a master in Huaxi County."

Lin Bai watched silently, comparing and confirming secretly.

"We have already retreated. Are you trying to force me to fight to the death? Just let me go back and I won't bother you again!" the old man continued.

"Too late!" Pei Ning had already drawn the sword in his hand and flew up.

Lin Bai looked carefully and saw Pei Ning rushing out like light smoke and mist, with his sword force being extremely powerful.

In just a blink of an eye, the long sword in the old man's hand broke into pieces, and a bloody hole appeared in his neck, spurting blood.

"This is the Tongming Sword Technique! It means to be transparent, aim for the flaw, and use the sword force to move forward... Although the sword moves are slightly different, the sword force is exactly the same as the one Jiang Rong used before his death... But in terms of power, Pei Ning is far superior to Jiang Rong."

Lin Bai was extremely envious when he saw this swordsmanship. He thought to himself that if he could cultivate the Wuji Gong to the fifth level and practice the Tongming Sword Technique from time to time, he should be able to achieve the power of this sword.

"You came all this way, but you forgot to leave anyone alive." Pei Ning sheathed his sword and glanced at Lin Bai, "Let them clean up on the way." His intention to send him away was obvious.

Lin Bai bowed, picked up the medicine box, and left quickly.

When I came to the front hall of the county government office from the backyard, I found the constables waiting there.

"Lin Zhuanlun, what happened in there? We dare not go in without your order!" The detectives asked in unison.

After a raid on the Li family today, all the detectives received rewards, so they were very enthusiastic.

"I told you to wash the floor." Lin Bai said honestly, and walked back home.

It was almost midnight and the weather was very cool. A flock of crows circled, as if they smelled blood.

Lin Bai thought about Pei Ning's sword for a long time, then came to Sister Zhen's door.

"What should I do at her house..."

Do it or not?
After knocking on the door and turning on the light, Mu Zhen came out to open the door.

She didn't speak, and Lin Bai didn't speak either. The two seemed to have a tacit understanding.

Entered the room, naturally.

afterwards.

Mu Zhen lay on his side, supporting his chin with one hand, staring at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai withdrew his hand and dared not say a word.

"How long does it take you to eat a bun?" Mu Zhen suddenly asked.

"If you don't mind, I can always..."

Before Lin Bai could finish his words, he realized that he had misunderstood.

But Lin Bai didn't understand the deeper meaning of these words.

"I eat fast. I can finish one in three to five breaths." Lin Bai said honestly.

"No matter where we are, why is it so fast?" Mu Zhen asked again.

Lin Bai immediately realized that she was talking about the stone plate...

"You hesitated." Mu Zhen laughed so hard that her body shook. She was happier than Xiuxiu who picked up ten taels of silver. She was completely different from her usual self.
