Chapter 1097: The Lord's Order
After coming out from Zhou Li, Lin Tao repeatedly thought about the conversation just now. Zhou Li said that the safety of the whole world is in his hands, and he also said something like "Chang Su and others are not worthy of it."
Lin Tao was careful about this matter and did not immediately agree. Within two days after returning to his residence, the people below received special instructions from the king and handled all their documents and sent them to the house in person.
The king was quick to do so. Before Lin Tao could make a request, he issued a decree and posted a message from Emperor Zhenzong.
Seeing that the reputation of the sect spread, Lin Tao was half happy and half sad. Needless to say, he was worried that he had not heard about Ma Lao or Zhou Lingxiu for a long time.
Until one day, the king sent someone to come and said that if he wanted to find Lin Tao.
Lin Tao had previously told that if a friend came to him, he would come to him immediately, so he almost jumped up excitedly and hurriedly followed the visitor.
When I arrived, I found that Zhou Li was the only one. I knew that he was wrong and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Zhou Li asked him to find a place to sit casually, and then asked him how he was thinking about the previous matter. Lin Tao remembered that Zhou Li asked him if he would like to be the Grand Zhou national master, named the National Master, but in fact he was a protective umbrella with money to do things. He said it would take two days to think about it.
Today, the deadline was over. Zhou Li asked him again. Lin Tao slapped his head. He had long forgotten about this matter. If Zhou Li hadn't proposed this, he would probably have never remembered it in his life.
So he said, "I'm actually the same answer as the previous two days. I'm used to being casual by nature. You keep me in the same place and I can't stay, so I can't do this job."
Zhou Li didn't give up and continued to discuss: "I don't have to stay here either. You can come if you want, leave if you want. Then just let me know."
Lin Tao shook his head and said, "Master, I understand what you mean, but if I really reach that time, I will not be able to leave. No matter how you say it, it will be subject to others. Besides, if I really leave that day and the entire king will be flattened by someone when I come back, who will be considered? So, I am not suitable for this at all, so you don't need to say anything more."
Zhou Li knew that he could not change Lin Tao's intentions even further, so he stopped talking and said, "Our spies received an information saying that there were a few girls looking for you everywhere, which looked very similar to the characteristics you described."
Lin Tao's heart moved: "Is it Zhou Lingxiu and the others?" He asked hurriedly: "When did it happen?"
"That's all these two days!"
Lin Tao thought a little in his mind. If it were Zhou Lingxiu and the others, he would be rushing to Shitou City and would arrive soon. He would be able to meet them first.
So he told Zhou Li what he thought, but Zhou Li nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.
After returning to his residence, Lin Tao briefly mentioned this matter. The three of them made a little preparation and moved on. They worked tirelessly along the way, and almost half of the time they arrived at Stone City.
As soon as they entered the city, they saw a group of people watching the fun. When they approached, they saw Wang Teng and Wang Cai and others surrounded several women.
Wang Teng and Wang Cai insisted that they were spies sent by the Sword Sect and Qi Sect.
The woman surrounded by them sneered: "You said we are spies, we are spies. If we hadn't heard that Lin Tao was in this city, we wouldn't have come! Where are others!"
Wang Cai also sneered: "What a sharp-tongued girl. Do you think we can trust you by Ti Lin's name. What evidence do you have to prove that you know each other?"
Seeing that the two sides had been arguing, Lin Tao squeezed out the crowd and greeted him lightly: "Long time no see."
These women are Dong Wan'er, Qin Hongxiao and Changsheng Qimei.
Dong Wan'er turned her head and was stunned for a moment. Then, she didn't know whether she was happy or why, but suddenly she started crying like a rain blowing pear blossoms: "You bastard, we have been looking for you for so long. Now we meet again, can we just say hello and just say hello?"
After not seeing Dong Wan'er for many years, she met her old friend again. Lin Tao felt a little moved and replied with a smile: "What's the matter? If you don't say hello, you have to be more grand? Otherwise, I'll suffer some losses and let you kiss me!"
Dong Wan'er's face flushed: "I just know how to talk nonsense."
Lin Tao had time to carefully look at Dong Wan'er and Qin Hongxiao. Seeing their changes, he couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, look at you. Hongxiao hasn't seen her for so long, and Hongxiao is still so beautiful, just Wan'er...tsk tsk."
Dong Wan'er hissed: "What's wrong with me? Are you trying to explain it clearly?"
"You, you look so uncharacteristic, I almost forgot about your appearance." Lin Tao said with a smile.
"you……"
Wang Teng and Wang Cai looked aside for a long time, then came up and said, "Brother Lin, I can't tell you. You are so lucky, you are embracing each other, what should you think if you look at it?"
After hearing this, Dong Wan'er immediately widened her eyes and asked him, "What are you hugging left and right? Lin Tao, please tell me a little more clearly."
Lin Tao said: "Don't listen to their nonsense. These two boys are not very serious in normal times, and their words are more like farts. If you believe what they say, I will be the best in the world tomorrow."
The group said and left. Lin Tao asked about the orientation of Dong Wan'er and the others after they were separated last time. Dong Wan'er briefly explained the matter. After hearing this, Lin Tao suddenly thought that they might know Chu Gongyu's whereabouts, and asked, "Do you know where Lao Chu went later?"
Dong Wan'er and Qin Hongxiao looked at each other and asked back, "Isn't he here?"
Lin Tao was also stunned: "How could he be here?"
Dong Wan'er explained: "We met once a few days ago, but later we were separated for some reason."
Qin Hongxiao was more thoughtful and added: "I remember he seemed to say at that time that he was going to do something important."
Seeing this situation, Chu Gongyu seemed to be able to arrive in the next few days, so he sighed relieved: "Old Chu is so mysterious. Every time he takes him out, he says something important to do, and he escapes halfway. I don't know until now, what exactly he is doing, he is secretly doing."
As he was talking, he suddenly saw a figure from afar, running over like a life-long life.
When the figure approached, Lin Tao saw clearly the visitor. Chu Gongyu was wearing a rag strip from afar, his eyes swollen, his shoes were lost, and his sword was broken.
When he saw Lin Tao, he used his hands and feet together, shouted. He finally ran to Lin Tao, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down on the ground and breathed heavily.
When Lin Tao saw Chu Gongyu again, his eyes couldn't help but wet, and he said, "Old Chu, it seems that you have not been doing much over the years. You don't even have a decent piece of clothing, and you're wearing it like a beggar. I said, "What's wrong with Lao Tie? Are you chasing me?"
Chu Gongyu and Lin Tao met again, and there was also a look of joy on his face, but he couldn't laugh in front of him, and said, "Brother Lin, you haven't met me for so long. You'll be laughing at me as soon as you meet me, right? Hurry up and help me see if that crazy man is chasing me?"
Lin Tao glanced behind him and asked him, "Which madman are you talking about?"
Chu Gongyu looked back at no one, and slapped his chest as if he was burdened: "This madman has been thrown away. Fortunately, I ran away quickly, otherwise I would have lost my life to see you now. Brother Lin, you have to be fair to me later!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw another figure approaching from afar. Lin Tao's heart tightened and was about to take action, but he found that this figure was very familiar with. Who else could it be except Zhou Lingxiu?
Behind Zhou Lingxiu, there were three followers, Fan Ren, Su Menglong and Zhang Bei. They rushed all the way and approached quickly. After a moment of meeting Lin Tao, Lin Tao had no time to speak, but Zhou Lingxiu raised his sword and stabbed Chu Gongyu.
Chu Gongyu shrank behind Lin Tao, treated him as a cover, dodged left and right. Zhou Lingxiu couldn't stab him several times in a row, and was so angry that she bit her teeth tightly, and shouted to Lin Tao: "Lin Tao, get out of the way, I'm going to kill him."
Seeing that after a while, Chu Gongyu was about to be killed, Lin Tao took the sword easily.
Zhou Ling's embroidered sword was taken away and he stomped his feet in hatred: "Lin Tao, why are you helping him?"
"If you have something to say, why do you suddenly want to kill Lao Chu?" Lin Tao asked Zhou Lingxiu.
Chu Gongyu also poked out half of his head and said with an innocent look on his face: "Yes, why did you kill me?"
Zhou Lingxiu glared at him hatefully, reached out to point at him: "I saw him interacting with the people of the Demon Sect. He is a spy given to us by the Demon Sect."
Lin Tao heard that one of his head was two big, and he covered his head and said for a while: "The amount of information today is too large, I have to wait for a while. Why did my former old comrades-in-arms all become spies of the Demon Sect overnight?"
A hint of nervousness flashed across Chu Gongyu's face: "Brother Lin, you won't doubt me, are you?"
Lin Tao looked at him for a while and said, "That's not possible. I still know your kid's background very clearly. I don't believe you are a spy from the Demon Sect. But you have to explain to Lingxiu, what happened just now, right? Otherwise, I can't guarantee that she would go into your house that night and stab you in the chest."
Chu Gongyu was also afraid and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's the case. In fact, you also know that I had some connections with the Demon Sect in the past. There was an old servant in the Demon Sect, and I called him Lao Zhang. During the years I lived in the Demon Sect, I always depended on Lao Zhang for life. Until I left the Demon Sect, I often met Lao Zhang privately and reminiscent of the past. There was really nothing else."
"It's really that simple?" Zhou Lingxiu asked coldly, not seemingly convinced that.
Chu Gongyu raised two fingers and said righteously: "I swear to the heavens that what I said is true, like a lie..."
Lin Tao stopped him and said, "Okay, Lao Chu, don't post this poisonous oath. I believe you can't lie, but I know you like to say Guru, half true and half false. If you hit thunder later, we will be killed."
