Chapter 145 Goodbye Nangong Yue
In the morning sun, a horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly on the official road outside the East City.
The curtain facing the driver's seat opened slightly, revealing a charming and beautiful face. It was Yun Lan.
"Mr. Qin, do you think it is possible for someone with mobility problems like my brother to practice martial arts?" Yun Lan asked.
"What does it matter if the legs are disabled? The key is the heart! As long as the body is disabled but the heart is not, that's fine! If a person doesn't have a firm heart that is willing to endure hardships and fight, it's useless even if he is tall and strong!" Qin Ziling replied without thinking.
I don’t know how many times I have read such inspirational words in my previous life!
"Mr. Qin means that I can practice martial arts?" Yun Tai, who had been disapproving, was shocked when he heard this when he saw his sister asking Qin Ziling for his opinion in the carriage. He couldn't help but blurt out the question.
From childhood to adulthood, he was ridiculed and talked about behind his back by countless people because of this leg. Many people also looked at him with pity. Even when his parents were alive, they would often sigh when they saw his leg, as if it was a very unfortunate thing.
This was the first time he heard someone say that having a disabled leg was okay, and the first time he saw someone simply ignore his legs and focus on his mindset.
"You have to ask yourself. If you are sure that you can practice martial arts, then you can!" Qin Ziling said calmly.
"Of course, why not?" Yuntai felt a surge of blood rushing to his head, and his handsome face turned red.
Qin Ziling smiled and continued driving the carriage.
"I want Yuntai to enter Hantie Academy to learn martial arts so that he will have some ability to protect himself in the future. Mr. Qin, can you help me make an introduction?" Yun Lan asked softly, looking at Qin Ziling's back with admiration.
"There's no need for that. Yuntai is not a child. He can do what others can do. He doesn't need my extra instructions and care. If he is a talented martial artist who can be trained, the martial arts school will naturally cultivate him with care." Qin Ziling said.
Yun Lan didn't expect Qin Ziling to refuse so straightforwardly. Her lips trembled, and just as she was about to say something else, Yun Tai rushed to speak: "That's right, I can just go to the martial arts hall to learn from a master. Why do I need Mr. Qin to introduce me to him?
If they despise my lameness, I will beg them more. I heard that when Mr. Bao became an apprentice, he was also looked down upon at first, but he managed to get through it, didn’t he? "
Yun Lan looked at his brother, who was puffing out his chest and showing the indomitable spirit of a man, and felt both distressed and relieved.
…
The tomb-worshiping ceremony went smoothly, but when the Yunlan sisters came down the mountain and walked quickly towards the carriage, they were met by a group of people.
The leader was a man with an arrogant look and eyes as sharp as a sword. He should be around 27 or 28 years old.
The man was riding a clouded leopard horse, wearing a dark tight-fitting suit, with a sword hanging from his waist and a bow and arrow hanging beside the saddle. He looked dignified.
Behind the man were five followers wearing black armor and riding tall yellow horses.
"It's the black-armored guards of the East City garrison!" Yuntai said in a low voice with a pale face.
Yun Lan's expression also changed slightly, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
Nowadays, most officers and soldiers are content with their duties within the city or on the official roads, but when they are in the wilderness, it is very likely that there is no distinction between officials and bandits.
Now they were in the mountains, with no village in front and no shop behind, and no outsiders around. Suddenly, a group of cavalrymen appeared, and they were all men. How could Yun Lan not be panicked?
It’s just that sometimes what people fear is what they are born with.
Yun Lan and her brother were just thinking about getting on the carriage quickly when the man riding the clouded leopard horse noticed them. His eyes fell on Yun Lan's curvy body and suddenly became hot.
"I didn't expect to meet such a rare, charming and beautiful woman in a place like this. It's really surprising!" The man pointed the whip in his hand at Yun Lan, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes moved up and down Yun Lan unscrupulously as if he was looking at prey.
As for Qin Ziling, who was sitting in the coachman's seat, and Yun Tai, who was limping along with Yun Lan as they walked quickly towards the carriage, they were naturally completely ignored.
"Captain Lin, I do know this beauty." A guard in black armor came forward immediately and bowed respectfully.
The black-armored guard who came forward was Nangong Yue, who was expelled from the sect by Zuo Le.
"Oh, tell me about it." Lin Dutou pointed at Yunlan with his whip, signaling the followers behind to bring her over, and asked with interest.
"This beauty's name is Yunlan. She's the owner of the 'Huayun' powder and rouge shop in Xicheng Market. She's a famous beauty in Xicheng. In fact, I not only know the beauty, but also the coachman." Nangong Yue said, with a sinister look in his eyes.
"Oh, is this coachman having an affair with this beautiful girl?" Lin Dutou said with a slightly gloomy face.
"Even if he didn't have a relationship, a disciple of the inner court of Han Tie Zhang is willing to be a coachman for Yun Lan and her brother. It's obvious that he is also attracted by her beauty." Nangong Yue said, turning his head to look at Qin Ziling, his face cold and said: "Don't you think so, Junior Brother Qin?"
"So you are Zuo Le's disciple. No wonder you know him, Nangong Yue. Zuo Le is very arrogant. As soon as he broke through and became a Hua Jin martial artist, he dared to expel you from the sect. This is clearly a slap in the face of my Lin family.
Well, since we happened to meet today, Nangong Yue, you can collect some interest from this junior brother for being expelled from the sect." Lin Dutou looked down at Qin Ziling, and then said calmly, as if Qin Ziling was already dead.
"You, what are you going to do?" Before Lin Dutou finished his words, Yuntai had already flashed in front of his sister, his face pale and trembling all over.
However, two black-armored guards dismounted and stepped forward to block the way of Yunlan and his sister.
"What are you doing? Didn't you see that our Captain Lin has taken a liking to your sister?" a bearded guard in black armor sneered.
"I guess you must be Lord Lin Zhengqing, the captain of the Black Armor Guard of the East City garrison. I'm honored to meet you!" Yun Lan behaved exceptionally calmly at this time and bowed slightly to Captain Lin.
"You do have some knowledge." Lin Zhengqing looked down at Yun Lan, his eyes fixed on her plump breasts, becoming increasingly hot.
"Lord Lin is the leader of the three generations of the Lin family. He is very famous and I have heard of your name for a long time. But a heroic figure like Lord Lin would have any woman he wants. I beg you to spare me. I will present you with a generous gift to express my gratitude one day." Yun Lan said.
"What's the point of having a woman who is easily available? Besides, I believe in fate. It is fate that I can meet a beauty like you in this remote place. How can I reject the opportunity when fate comes? Are you Miss Yunlan?" Lin Zhengqing said with a wicked smile.
"Since you, my Lord, have determined that this is fate, then it is naturally fate. But I have a favor to ask of you?" Yun Lan's face turned pale when she heard that. After a while, she gritted her teeth and spoke again.
"Do you want me to let your brother and the coachman go?" Lin Zhengqing raised his whip and pointed at Qin Ziling who was walking towards him tremblingly.
"That's right. As long as Lord Lin can let them go, I am willing to let you deal with me." Yun Lan replied.
"Sister!" Yun Tai heard the words and stopped Yun Lan behind him. He stared at Lin Dutou who was riding on the clouded leopard horse with red eyes and roared, "You are not allowed to touch my sister!"
Lin Zhengqing ignored Yuntai and looked at Yunlan with interest.
"Tsk tsk, you are quite interesting, woman. If it weren't for the fact that I have a tigress at home, I would really like to take you home and have some fun with you for a few days.
Let me put it this way. It just so happens that my subordinate and you, the coachman, were both disciples of old Zuo Le. But old Zuo Le was so stupid that he expelled Nangong Yue from his sect, ruining his reputation and bringing shame to my Lin family.
Since we happened to meet today, let them fight to add to the fun of our good deeds. If you, the driver, win, I can consider letting your brother go, but if you lose, I can only say I am sorry. "
After Lin Zhengqing finished speaking, he raised his whip and pointed at Nangong Yue, saying, "Nangong Yue, take it easy, don't play yourself to death all at once!"
"Thank you, Captain!" Nangong Yue knelt on one knee and clasped his fists in front of Lin Zhengqing, then stood up and looked at Qin Ziling with a hint of ferocious pride on his face, saying: "Brother Qin, you didn't expect that there would be such a day, did you? In fact, I wanted to teach you a lesson a long time ago, but I let you go just for the sake of Old Man Zuo's face.
As a result, Zuo Laoer was so stupid that he kicked me out of the sect. You didn't have to die, but you should blame Zuo Laoer! Unfortunately, Zuo Laoer couldn't see you being killed by me, because he always trusted you!"
Qin Ziling ignored Nangong Yue, and with a pale face, he bowed to Lin Zhengqing and said, "Lord Lin, although I am only at the level of a bull, my actual combat ability is still quite strong. If I really fight with Nangong Yue, there will be more room for maneuvering. Can Miss Yunlan and her brother go to the carriage first to watch from a distance? It would be bad if we bump into them."
"Tsk tsk, you are quite courageous! You can still think so much at this time. Okay, you two go to the carriage." Lin Zhengqing looked at Qin Ziling with some surprise, then waved to the Yunlan siblings.
Naturally, he was not worried that the Yunlan siblings could escape in the carriage!
"Mr. Qin!" Yun Lan and her brother cried out in grief, anger and helplessness, then walked towards the carriage with trembling legs.
At this moment, not to mention that Yuntai had already determined that he was going to die, even Yunlan had almost accepted his fate and did not dare to hope that a miracle would happen.
Because this time Qin Ziling was not facing the Yanluo Gang, nor Zhuang Gaochi, but the Black Armor Guards and another outstanding young man of the third generation of the Lin family, Lin Zhengqing.
Lin Zhengqing has reached the Yun Jin realm, but he is five years older than Lin Zhengji, which is why he is overshadowed by Lin Zhengji. In fact, his strength is not inferior to Lin Zhengji at all.
Every Black Armor Guard has Iron Plate cultivation, and Lin Zhengqing is a well-known strength martial artist. Even though Yun Lan believes that Qin Ziling is not as simple as he appears, he never dares to imagine that he can defeat the five Black Armor Guards and Lin Zhengqing!
No, even Nangong Yue would be in trouble!
Nangong Yue is a recognized martial arts genius in all the martial arts schools in West City, and it has been some time since he broke through to the Iron Skin level.
Seeing Yunlan and his brother walk to the side of the carriage and stand still, Qin Ziling suddenly sighed and said, "Why bother?"
