Reborn as Lin Pingzhi, starting from escorting Daiyu to the capital.

Chapter 12 Lin Zhennan's Shock

Fuwei Escort Agency.

After Lin Pingzhi left, Madam Wang was constantly worried and often inquired about his whereabouts.

Although Lin Zhennan appeared calm and kept reassuring his wife, he was also secretly worried deep down.

After all, Lin Pingzhi was too young, and his previous actions had been somewhat impulsive.

One day, the couple was chatting in the hall when a bodyguard rushed in and loudly announced:

"Chief镖头, rumors are spreading all over Fuzhou that the Young镖头 killed Tian Boguang."

"What?" Lin Zhennan abruptly sat up straight in his armchair upon hearing this. "Is it that Tian Boguang, the so-called lone wolf who travels ten thousand miles and is infamous far and wide? Did you hear me clearly?"

Chief镖头 Gao hurriedly replied, "Chief镖头, I've confirmed it several times, it's absolutely true, the young镖头 did indeed kill Tian Boguang."

"How is this possible?"

"How is this possible?" Lin Zhennan frowned, completely baffled.

Although his son's martial arts skills had improved significantly recently, the idea that he could kill Tian Boguang was simply a pipe dream to him.

Madam Wang exclaimed, "It must have been that villain Tian Boguang who tried to rob the goods, and Ping'er had no choice but to kill him."

Just then, Chief Escort Ji walked in and said:

"Chief镖头, there is a woman outside who claims to be a disciple of the Hengshan Sect requesting an audience."

"Quickly, invite them in."

Lin Zhennan quickly stood up, his heart filled with surprise and uncertainty.

In the past, it was always the Fuwei Escort Agency that took the initiative to deliver gifts to the Five Mountains Sword Sect. This was the first time that disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect had taken the initiative to visit them.

After a while, a woman dressed in lay attire entered the hall and respectfully bowed, saying:

"Zheng E, a disciple of the Hengshan Sect, greets Chief Escort Lin." The tone was quite polite.

Lin Zhennan was extremely surprised and quickly returned the greeting:

"Master Zheng, you are too kind. I have always admired the Hengshan Sect. May I ask what brings you here today?"

He knew that the Hengshan Sect had some lay disciples who were specifically responsible for dealing with the outside world, so that others would not feel resistant upon seeing a nun.

Zheng E smiled slightly and said, "I have come here on the orders of my master to thank Chief Escort Lin."

During the Hengshan Sect disciples' descent from the mountain, Junior Sister Yilin was unfortunately kidnapped by Tian Boguang, but fortunately, Young Master Lin rescued her unharmed...

Zheng E then explained the whole story.

Master Dingyi was always clear about her gratitude and resentment, and she was very grateful to Lin Pingzhi. Therefore, she sent a letter to Zheng E, who was on business in Fujian, to personally visit and express her gratitude.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhennan was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said, "So that's how it is! Everyone has the right to kill a villain like Tian Boguang. My son was merely doing what a man of the martial world should do. Master Dingyi is being far too kind."

Zheng E said earnestly, "Tian Boguang's infamy is widespread, and our Hengshan Sect has tried to eliminate him several times but failed. The young镖头's act of stepping forward this time has truly rid the martial arts world of a great scourge."

Hearing Zheng E praise her son, Lady Wang was overjoyed and quickly said:

"Master Zheng, you flatter me. My son acted impulsively this time; he doesn't deserve such praise."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zheng E got up to take her leave.

Lin Zhennan personally saw the other party to the door. As soon as he returned to the hall, he saw Chief Escort Ji holding a letter.

"Chief镖头, a letter from镖头崔," said镖头吉.

"Let me see!"

Lin Zhennan eagerly took the letter and began to read it.

After Lin Pingzhi left to escort goods, Lin Zhennan secretly instructed Chief Escort Cui to report to him immediately if anything happened on the road.

In the letter, Chief Escort Cui recounted in detail the entire process of Lin Pingzhi killing Tian Boguang, and also mentioned that Lin Pingzhi arranged for people to escort the remains of the Taishan Sect disciples back to the Taishan Sect, which Zheng E was unaware of.

Chief镖师 Cui greatly admired Lin Pingzhi, saying that he was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also very capable in his work.

"Ping'er did a great job!" Lin Zhennan blurted out, pacing back and forth in the main hall excitedly.

"What happened again?" Madam Wang asked curiously.

"Madam, look." Lin Zhennan handed the letter to Madam Wang.

After reading it, Madam Wang was also very pleased and said, "Ping'er handled this very well."

Lin Zhennan was extremely excited: "Ping'er not only eliminated the villain Tian Boguang this time, but also befriended the Hengshan Sect and the Taishan Sect. This is a great thing for our Fuwei Escort Agency."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but reminisce about the glorious days when the Fuwei Escort Agency had spread throughout the Central Plains.

-----------------

Huashan Sect, Righteousness Hall.

Yue Buqun, dressed in Confucian robes, sat upright in the center, with his wife Ning Zhongze sitting beside him.

Below them stood disciples such as Liang Fa and Gao Genming.

Liang Fa took out a letter and said respectfully:

"Master, this is a letter from my second senior brother."

"Bring it here."

Yue Buqun appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly very excited.

Ever since Lin Pingzhi killed Tian Boguang, he has paid more and more attention to the Fuwei Escort Agency. Last time, he even wrote a letter to Lao Denuo to inquire about Lin Pingzhi.

He took the letter from Liang Fa and slowly opened it.

In the letter, Laudenau first greeted Yue Buqun, and then gave a detailed account of the information he had gathered.

In his letter, Laudenau said that Lin Pingzhi was a man who liked hunting, and that his Seventy-Two Styles of Evil-Repelling Sword Technique was nothing special.

This trip to Yangzhou was initiated by Lin Pingzhi, in order to escort a relative of a clansman to the capital.

Laudenau expressed his shock at Lin Pingzhi's killing of Tian Boguang.

He also mentioned that recently there have been many more people secretly monitoring the Fuwei Escort Agency, including members of the Qingcheng and Songshan factions.

Yue Buqun nodded secretly.

He trusted Laudenuo's steady and reliable approach to things, so he handed the letter to Ning Zhongze and asked, "Junior Sister, what do you think?"

Ning Zhongze took the letter, quickly glanced at it, and said, "Senior brother, according to De Nuo, Lin Pingzhi's martial arts skills are quite ordinary. How did he kill Tian Boguang?"

Yue Buqun pondered, "There's probably some hidden story behind this."

He had already assumed in his heart that Lin Pingzhi was deliberately concealing his strength because he was afraid that others would covet his family's martial arts techniques.

"Is there any news from your senior brother?" Yue Buqun asked.

Liang Fa shook his head and said, "We haven't received any news yet."

Yue Buqun said worriedly, "Your senior brother has always liked to drink, and I'm afraid he'll mess things up."

He was already somewhat regretting entrusting such an important matter to Linghu Chong.

Ning Zhongze comforted him, "Although Chong'er likes to drink, he is never confused about important matters, so you can rest assured, Senior Brother."

She didn't know why Yue Buqun took this matter so seriously.

At this time.

At this moment, Lu Dayou hurried in, holding a letter in his hand, and said, "Master, your letter."

Yue Buqun asked excitedly, "Is it your senior brother's?"

Lu Dayou shook his head and said, "No, Master, this letter is unsigned. I asked the messenger, and he didn't know who sent it either."

As he spoke, he handed the letter to Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun took the letter and saw eight large characters written on the cover: "To Yue Buqun of the Huashan Sect".

Ning Zhongze warned, "Senior brother, be careful, the letter might be poisoned."

Yue Buqun nodded slightly, secretly activated his Zixia Divine Skill, and carefully opened the envelope.

Inside was a letter; only after confirming it wasn't poisoned was it pulled out.

After seeing the handwriting clearly, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

Lu Dayou mustered his courage and asked, "Master, what does this letter say?"

Yue Buqun smiled slightly and said gently, "It's nothing. There's just a friend in the martial world who admires me and wants to get to know me. You can all disperse now and practice your swordsmanship."

As the leader of the Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun was already used to such things.

Upon hearing this, Lu Dayou immediately lost interest and left with the other disciples.

After the disciples left, Ning Zhongze sensed something was amiss and asked, "Senior brother, what does this letter say?"

"See for yourself," Yue Buqun said, handing the letter to Ning Zhongze.

Ning Zhongze took the letter, and upon reading it, she almost cried out, "Lao Denuo is a traitor within the Songshan Sect?"

Realizing something was amiss, he whispered, "Senior brother, this letter is so vague and incomplete. I'm afraid someone is trying to sow discord within our Huashan Sect."

Yue Buqun lowered his head and remained silent. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. Junior sister, as you know, De Nuo came to the sect with prior skills."

"Isn't Shan'er in danger?" Ning Zhongze couldn't help but worry when she thought of Yue Lingshan and Lao Denuo together.

A glint flashed in Yue Buqun's eyes as he said, "There's no need to worry about that. If Denuo is an internal traitor, he should have other purposes and won't expose himself easily."
