Chapter 544: Afterimage(1/2)

Zhan Zhao and others felt a gust of wind passing by their heads, and the three of them felt a move - master!

So Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang leaped over and chased after him.

Zhao Pu held Xiao Sizi with one hand and held Gongsun with the other. There was a chubby Shen Yan behind him. The Ninth Prince thought about it and simply...

With a "bang", the door was kicked open by Zhao Pu.

There were still a few servants in Master Lin’s family. He was so scared that he was trembling by Zhao Pu. He ran out with a stick and saw that it was the Ninth Prince who came in.

The imperial city troops guarding nearby also came.

And at this time...

Also scared were Master Lin and Lin Xiao.

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang ran to the yard to find Master Lin and Lin Xiao, they saw the old and young man looking at them with their mouths open.

At this moment, Master Lin was holding a tray in his hand, and two bowls inside looked like it was a midnight snack. Lin Xiao put down the flute and was taking it to eat midnight snack... No wonder the sound of the flute suddenly stopped. It turned out that he was having midnight snack.

The two old and young maintained this action and looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who fell in front of them, and couldn't react for a moment.

At this time, a noise came from outside the door. Zhao Pu ran in with his family and asked, "Where is that person?"

Lin Xiao put down the midnight snack in his hand, stood up and asked everyone, "What's wrong?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang searched for a while, and the breath had disappeared. Did the man just now pass by and leave? He just passed by? Or did he go somewhere else in Master Lin’s house?

Bai Yutang looked up at the wall and came back to shake his head with Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao frowned - his body was very fast and very hidden, who was? When did such a master come to Kaifeng?

Lin Xiao looked confused.

Zhan Zhaokoi asked him if he felt someone coming in or running past him.

Lin Xiao shook his head, "No, is anyone in?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, a little worried. Although Lin Xiao had good kung fu, he was still young and had insufficient internal strength. The man just now was definitely a top expert. He happened to meet them today, so nothing happened. I don’t know if the other party was malicious... If there was malicious intention, Lin Xiao might not be able to discover it. Moreover, based on Lin Xiao’s identity, it is impossible to guess whether the other party was targeting him or Master Lin.

Master Lin put down the tray and walked over to ask Zhan Zhao, "Is something wrong?" At the same time, he also saw Shen Yan standing beside him.

Shen Yan bowed and shouted, "Teacher."

Master Lin nodded.

Shen Yan was looking at Lin Xiao for a long time, but she smiled, "I look quite like Ziwen, but I don't feel like my temperament at all..."

Lin Xiao was stunned and looked at Shen Yan.

Zhan Zhao told him that this person was your father’s friend during his lifetime, Shen Botao.

Everyone went to Master Lin's study and sat down, and roughly said what Shen Yan said before.

Master Lin gently touched his chin, thinking about something and not talking.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang paid attention to Master Lin's actions, and the two suddenly had a question - Lin Xiao was Wu Yifu's book boy, so he should have followed him before Wu Yifu's accident. In other words, he should know Lin Da, Lin Er and others who were related to Wu Yifu back then. Why didn't Master Lin know Lin Xiao's paintings? Or did he not know Lin Da Lin Er?

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were just thinking about it.

Lin Xiao said, "Drawing? My father has never given me anything except leaving a flute for me..."

As he said that, he put the flute on the table.

When Shen Yan saw the flute, he was frightened and almost fell off the stool. He pointed at the flute and said, "It's this! It's it! I remember the pattern!"

Everyone looked at the flute in Lin Xiao's hand. It was more than three feet long, longer than ordinary flutes. The flute body was dark green and it looked like it was bamboo. It was very ordinary and inconspicuous. However, after careful reading, there were many patterns on the flute.

Gongsun took the flute over and looked at it carefully, frowned, "This should not be a pattern, but a certain character or symbol."

Gongsun looked over and over again, "Well... it feels like it's anti-opposite, and it may require research."

"I have been studying it for a long time but I don't know what it is written on it." Lin Xiao was helpless.

"Did your father say anything when he gave you this flute?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Lin Xiao was ecstatic and said, "He said that Xiao was keeping it for someone. One day he would give it to the person he should give it to, so that I can keep it."

"Didn't you tell me who?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Lin Xiao shook his head, "I was too young at that time, and my father didn't tell me too much."

Everyone looked at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan shook his head helplessly. He only knew that the flute was brought out of the box by the weird man and later gave it to Lin Ziwen.

"What about the picture scroll?" Zhan Zhao asked Lin Xiao, "Snow Scenery Picture."

Lin Xiao was slightly puzzled, "Snow Scenery Picture?"

"Did your father leave you a snow scene picture?" Zhan Zhao asked Shen Yan to describe it. After all, he had seen the one in Lin Ziwen's hand back then.

Lin Xiao shook his head, "I don't know this. My father shouldn't have left any paintings... I haven't found them."

"Your father is so good at calligraphy and painting, didn't he leave behind painting?" Bai Yutang felt strange.

Lin Xiao shook his head, "My father has a habit of painting one and selling one. He rarely draws it. If he wants to draw it, he will draw it on an umbrella and then sell it... He didn't leave a single painting, and I have the same problem with him."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. Lin Ziwen's painting was not in Lin Xiao's hands. I don't know whether it was good or bad. At least no one would have any idea about him.

Zhan Zhao and the others did not ask too many useful clues from Lin Xiao, so they wanted to say goodbye and go back to Kaifeng Mansion first.

But I was a little worried about leaving Lin Xiao and Master Lin.

Zhao Pu asked the Imperial City Army to send some people.

When everyone was about to leave, Xiao Sizi, who woke up after a nap on Zhao Pu's shoulder, rubbed his eyes and looked around, and saw the flute placed on the table, then reached out to pick it up.

The little Sizi tilted his head and looked at the pattern on the flute, as if he thought it was quite beautiful.

Gongsun returned the Xiao Xiao to Lin Xiao and told Xiao Sizi to go back to bed.

But the little Sizi reached out to get the flute.

Gongsun looked at him, "How do you take your brother's things?"

The little fourth son retracted his hand, rubbed it in his father's arms, and glanced at the flute again.

Zhan Zhao also stared at the flute and suddenly asked Lin Xiao, "Can you lend it to me? I'll give it back to you tomorrow."

Lin Xiao handed the flute to Zhan Zhao and said, "Don't worry, you can give it to me any time."

Zhan Zhao picked up the flute.

Bai Yutang looked at him, and he probably guessed that Zhan Zhao might want to take the flute and show Wu Yifu.

Everyone went to say goodbye.

After everyone left, Master Lin patted Lin Xiao and asked him to go to bed earlier, so he went back to the room by himself.

Lin Xiao also went back to the room. As soon as he closed the door, he felt a gust of wind passing by his ears... Lin Xiao was shocked... At the same time, the window opened.

When Lin Xiao understood, the room was empty and there was no one. The candlelight on the table was blown out by the gust of wind just now, and the windows were open.

Lin Xiao went to light the lights, and then he saw that there was no one in the room... But the gust of wind just now seemed to have someone flashed by, and his lightness skills were ridiculously high.

Lin Xiao walked to the window and looked out, frowned... The yard outside the window was quiet, and there was no one.

Lin Xiao was a little worried, so he ran to the next room and looked at it. Master Lin was also well, so he frowned and returned to his room. Someone must have hid in his room just now, and then ran away like a gust of wind.

When he closed the door, Lin Xiao lay on the bed and frowned. Zhan Zhao and the others were looking for someone. Could it be that "wind" just now?" Although he didn't know the other party's identity, he should have no malice. At least he didn't feel any murderous aura. Moreover, that man's kung fu was much better than him. If he had malice, he would have died long ago.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao turned over and felt something hitting his arm. In a blink of an eye, he saw that there was a quilt on his hand.

Lin Xiao touched it and found that there was a hard box-like thing in the quilt. He lifted the quilt and saw that there was really a black brocade box inside.

Lin Xiao held the box and looked up and down, left and right, confirming that it was definitely not his thing... So he opened the lid of the box.

In the box, there is a scroll.

Lin Xiao took out the scroll and opened it, and saw that the scroll was blank.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, tilted his head - Bai Juan?

He looked carefully for a while and it was indeed blank! Lin Xiao felt inexplicably so, who left him a blank volume?

...

Zhan Zhao and others returned to Kaifeng Prefecture, but everyone was not asleep yet, waiting for their news.

In the yard, Gongsun was still checking the corpses. Bao Yan and Pang Yu were both courses that they would take the day after tomorrow. Pang Yu needed to make up for many classes in advance, otherwise they would probably not understand them during class. So Bao Yan would teach him a few words every night when he was reading the book, which gradually became a habit.

The atmosphere of studying in Kaifeng Prefecture is very good. Bao Yan and Pang Yu would sit together to read for an hour every day. At this time, Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi would come to read together. Sometimes the maids in the yard would come to ask about poetry or something.

Moreover, there are many talents in the mansion. If you don’t understand anything, Gongsun, Lord Bao, and Mrs. Bao, you can tell me if you just hold on to that one, and you can just hold on to Bai Yutang or Tianzun. Pang Yu is really a bit like an Imperial school student at this moment, and the prodigal aura on his body has long been completely wiped out.

Zhan Zhao entered the door and knocked on Jiuniang's door with a flute.

After a while, Jiu Niang came out while yawning. When she opened the door, she saw that it was Zhan Zhao and smiled and pulled in, "Can't you sleep? Sleep with Aunt Hong..."

Zhan Zhao's face turned red and he hurriedly grabbed his sleeves, "Don't make trouble!"

Behind Jiu Niang, the blue fox also leaned out and saw Bai Yutang standing beside Zhan Zhao, and pulled it in.

Bai Yutang was so shocked that he hurriedly stood behind Zhan Zhao.
To be continued...
