Sword from Songshan

Chapter 58: Lin Shao, the Escort Leader, What a Young Man
"Songshan is thousands of miles away from Fuzhou. Do you really believe that he is just here for a stroll?"

At night, in the bedroom, Mrs. Wang helped Lin Zhennan hang up his coat and said something casually.

"I certainly don't believe it."

Lin Zhennan snorted softly and sat on the bed, pondering for a while.

"Then why did he come here..."

"Is it for money?"

"It's not that simple."

Lin Zhennan shook his head with a serious expression.

"During the banquet, I brought him a thousand taels of gold as promised, but he refused it sternly. If it was for money, why would he do that?"

"Then maybe you think it's too little."

"Is a thousand taels of gold not enough? Your Wang family is also a wealthy family in Luoyang. Even if it's your wife, how can she remain calm when faced with a thousand taels of gold? What's more, he is just a young man."

"If it's not about money, then what is it?"

"I don't know."

Lin Zhennan said slowly, and then suddenly smiled.

"No matter what his reason is! As the direct disciple of the leader of Songshan Sect, as long as we can get in touch with him and get the protection of Songshan Sect, we can go to Henan! By then, the business of our escort agency will expand from ten provinces to eleven provinces."

“You know business.”

Mrs. Wang snorted softly and bent down to turn off the light.

The next morning.

After breakfast, Lin Zhennan accompanied Lu Nanxing to visit various places in the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Ordinary people only have two meals a day, but the Lin family, as a wealthy family, not only has three meals a day, but also has tea and midnight snacks.

"You may not know, benefactor, but the Fuwei Escort Agency has been providing escort services for three generations. Now, our business has spread across ten provinces. To be frank, we are the best in the area south of the Yangtze River."

"I have heard of the reputation of Fuwei Escort Agency since I was in Songshan."

Lu Nanxing nodded and then said with a smile.

"I am much younger than the chief escort leader. Don't address me as your benefactor anymore. Just call me by my name."

"In this case……"

Lin Zhennan thought about it, nodded and said.

"I am a little older than you, so I am too arrogant. How about I call you Brother Lu? Haha, don't call me Chief Escort anymore. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Lin."

"That's perfect, Brother Lin."

"Haha! Brother Lu!"

After changing the name, Lin Zhennan laughed heartily, his face full of joy.

This is not just a name, it also means that he and Lu Nanxing are becoming closer!

In this way, wouldn’t it be much easier to develop business in Henan in the future?

"father!"

As he was talking, he unknowingly walked to the martial arts training ground.

A young man of eighteen or nineteen years old in brocade clothes was practicing sword. When he saw Lin Zhennan coming, he quickly stopped and ran over to greet him.

"Ping'er, that's just right."

Lin Zhennan nodded and turned to Lu Nanxing.

"This is my son Lin Pingzhi. He went hunting yesterday and returned late at night, so he didn't see you, my benefactor."

"Young Master Lin."

Lu Nanxing looked at Lin Pingzhi and nodded secretly in his heart, what a handsome young man.

No wonder in the original novel, Yue Lingshan gave up her childhood sweetheart Linghu Chong and fell in love with Lin Pingzhi.

"Ping'er."

Lin Zhennan turned to Lin Pingzhi again and introduced him.

"This is the benefactor I often mentioned to you, the one who saved my father's life last year, Lu Nanxing, the disciple of the Left Head of Songshan Sect."

"he?"

Lin Pingzhi also looked at Lu Nanxing, but snorted.

"He looks like he is only two years younger than me. He has some skills and can save my father."

"Ping'er, don't be rude!"

"What I said is the truth. There is only one master in the world like my father. How old is he? His martial arts ability is higher than my father's. How can he save my father?"

Lin Pingzhi argued with reason, his eyes becoming more defiant.

"As for the Songshan Sect, if it is really famous, how could I not have heard of it? I guess the martial arts of the Songshan Sect are just so-so. How can it be stronger than the evil-repelling swordsmanship of my Lin family?"

"Ping'er, shut up!"

Young people are full of energy and speak without restraint!

Lin Zhennan glared at Lin Pingzhi and quickly apologized to Lu Nanxing.

"Don't blame me, my benefactor. I don't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. I am talking nonsense."

"It's okay, Brother Lin, don't mind it."

Lu Nanxing waved his hand and looked at Lin Pingzhi with interest.

As a young man from a wealthy family, Lin Pingzhi did not have those dandy habits. His character and upbringing were actually very good, but he had too little experience, so he was only able to see the world from a narrow perspective.

As for why he was so aggressive towards Lu Nanxing, it must be because he thought Lu Nanxing was someone who was seeking fame and reputation.

"What you just practiced was the sword technique of exorcising evil spirits that was passed down in your family."

"Exactly!"

"The Exorcist Sword Technique is so powerful in the martial arts world. I admire it very much."

Lu Nanxing exclaimed in admiration, and then suddenly said.

"This is a rare opportunity. How about asking for your advice?"

"Just looking forward to hearing your advice!"

Lin Pingzhi snorted coldly, still ready to strike.

"Brother Lu, this..."

Lin Zhennan, on the other hand, had a look of panic on his face.

"It's okay, just for fun."

Lu Nanxing waved his hand and continued, "My sword is left in the room. Please lend it to me."

"Someone! Bring me a sword!"

Since this was the case, Lin Zhennan said nothing more and just gave an order.

Soon, someone came with a sword.

Clang~!

The long sword was unsheathed with a sound like metal and stone.

"Good sword."

Lu Nanxing couldn't help but nodded, then turned to Lin Pingzhi.

"Young Escort Captain, please."

"please!"

Lin Pingzhi clasped his fists tightly, looking serious.

Then, the two of them went to the martial arts training ground.

"Be careful!"

The competition began. Lin Pingzhi shouted softly and drew his sword first.

The long sword stabbed out from under his ribs and pierced Lu Nanxing's chest.

Go straight to Huanglong.

Lu Nanxing had studied the Exorcist Sword Technique for more than half a month. In addition to the internal skills, he had also mastered the 72 sword techniques. With a slight smile on his face, he held the long sword across his chest, using the blade to block the tip of Lin Pingzhi's sword.

"This……"

The blade was only three fingers wide. If it was a little different, Lu Nanxing would have been pierced through the chest by the sword. He was taking such a risk, obviously confident and at ease!
"Take my sword again!"

Lin Pingzhi was greatly surprised. He let out a light shout and then struck with another sword.

The long sword drew an arc and slashed towards Lu Nanxing's neck and eyes, which was exactly Zhong Xu's move of gouging out eyes.

Before Lin Pingzhi made his move, Lu Nanxing had already anticipated his move and could not help but smile, with his sword already waiting.

Bang~!

With one move, he directly knocked Lin Pingzhi's sword away, and then thrust the sword straight forward.

Lin Pingzhi's sword was knocked away. Seeing Lu Nanxing turning around to stab him, he quickly put away his sword, but by the time his sword turned back, the tip of Lu Nanxing's sword had already been against his chest.

"Great swordsmanship! You are worthy of being the disciple of the Songshan Sect's Left Sect Leader!"

Lin Zhennan stood by and exclaimed in admiration.

Getting straight to the point is just an ordinary move, but Lin Zhennan is somewhat boasting in his words.

Besides, as a father, he knew how powerful Lin Pingzhi was. It was normal for Lu Nanxing to defeat the enemy with one move.

"Brother Lin, you are so kind."

Lu Nanxing smiled and retracted his sword.

He sighed secretly in his heart, as expected, although it was the same moves, without the corresponding internal strength, it was impossible to bring out the complex, fast and strange characteristics of the Exorcism Sword to the fullest.

"This...how could this happen!"

It was not until this moment that Lin Pingzhi came to his senses, his face full of disbelief.

He had never been out of Fuzhou, so how could he know about the heroes of the world?

In his opinion, Lin Zhennan's martial arts skills were already the best in the martial arts world. As for the masters in the martial arts world, they were just as good as the escort leaders in the escort agency.

He usually had the upper hand when sparring with the escort leaders, so how come he was defeated this time with just one sword?

How could he know that the escorts were afraid of his status as the young escort leader and none of them would use their true strength.

"Although I am not as good as you in swordsmanship, I will never lose to you in fist fighting!"

Unable to accept it for a moment, Lin Pingzhi suddenly yelled at Lu Nanxing again.

"Let's have another fistfight!"

"Ping'er!"

"Fists and feet, they are more gentle than swords."

Lu Nanxing nodded slightly, sheathed the sword and handed it to the servant next to him.

"Then I will learn more about Young Escort's skills."

"There's so much nonsense!"

Lin Pingzhi was angry and slapped Lu Nanxing directly.

What he used at this time was also his family martial arts, the 108-style Sky-turning Palm.

"good."

Lu Nanxing dodged the palm strike by moving sideways and gave a compliment.

It's not that Lin Pingzhi's palm is so brilliant, but compared to the superficial Sword of Exorcism, this palm technique is simple but more practical.

Next, facing Lin Pingzhi's attack, Lu Nanxing put his hands behind his back and simply dodged with his body movements, commenting from time to time.

"hateful!"

After more than ten consecutive palm strikes, he failed to even touch the corner of Lu Nanxing's clothes, and Lin Pingzhi became more and more anxious.

With a roar, he pounced forward.

"This won't work."

The door was wide open and Lu Nanxing couldn't help but shake his head.

He was too lazy to argue with Lin Pingzhi anymore. He formed his five fingers into claws, used his skill of taking a pulse by just touching clothes, and grabbed Lin Pingzhi's wrist with one hand.

"let me go!"

The victory or defeat was already decided when his wrist pulse point was controlled, but Lin Pingzhi was not convinced and continued to struggle.

"Dissatisfied?"

Lu Nanxing's face darkened involuntarily, and he grabbed the wooden stake next to him with his other hand.

Click~!

With a dull thud, the solid wood training stake was actually broken into pieces by Lu Nanxing's claw!
hiss~!

Lin Zhennan beside him took a breath of cold air, what a strong claw force!
"..."

Lin Pingzhi stood in front of him, stunned and frozen in place.
