Chapter 486: provoking assassin
Chapter 486 Provoking the Assassin
The Puluo Temple is not big, and it didn’t take long to arrive at the Buddhist hall in the temple.
The old nun stopped in front of the Buddhist hall, put his palms together with Chu Nanzhi expressionlessly, and said, "Please also invite the benefactor to enter later, Mrs. Qin will be there soon."
The words fell, and soon disappeared.
Chu Nanzhi put away the oil-paper umbrella and looked around. Surrounded by the ancient Centian trees, it looked extraordinarily deep and secluded. In addition, the weather was getting colder, and the wind was blowing from all around, which was very biting.
Looking inside again, it was dark and gloomy, and some dark coffins could be vaguely seen.
The feeling of deja vu swept over her heart again, and she couldn't help thinking of the nightmares she had had in the past few days.
Carefully turned her head to look at Sang Qi who was calm and composed beside her, Chu Nanzhi whispered in her ear: "Sang Qi, be more careful when entering such an ominous place."
Sangqi gritted her teeth and nodded.
Li Ce had already hinted at her just now, and now that the master is instructing her like this, she has to cheer up.
The master and the servant took small steps and walked towards the inside of the Buddhist hall with extra caution. Under the dim oil lamp, they saw rows of black coffins neatly placed in various places in the hall.
The faint sandalwood is mixed with a decadent smell, which permeates the air, making people want to vomit.
Sang Qi supported her, looking around every time she took a step.
When they reached the center of the coffin array, there was a piercing sound that frightened the master and servant.
Chu Nanzhi looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw that it was a fat mouse running away in a hurry.
She brushed her chest pretending to be calm, and patted the back of Sang Qi's hand lightly, signaling her to continue walking inside.
The silence in the Buddhist hall is terrifying, every step you take, the sound of small footsteps can be clearly heard back to your ears.
In such a depressing environment, the master and servant resolutely walked to the innermost place.
The lights gradually became brighter, and the surrounding area became much more empty. In the center stood a statue of Guanyin whose color had darkened.
By the light, Chu Nanzhi fixed his eyes and saw a man in a black silk shirt kneeling on the futon under the statue of Avalokitesvara. His back was rather familiar.
Hearing footsteps behind him, the man turned around slowly, saw Chu Nanzhi's figure, made a surprised look, and said in astonishment: "Brother and sister-in-law?"
"Lin Erlang?"
Chu Nanzhi was also surprised, and immediately lowered her face: "Why are you here?"
"I'll take a look at Sister Jinlan."
Lin Jinhong raised his eyebrows with a gloomy face.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help letting out a sneer, and stepped forward carelessly: "That's right, that aunt of yours treats Sanniang as her sweetheart, and now the old and the young are all gathered together as companions, it's really nice for you to come and see." Makes sense."
It's just that he was too diligent in this move.
But I have never heard that this **** cared about his brothers and sisters, let alone the daughter of a concubine.
Scanning the Buddhist hall carefully again, when Lin Jinhong stood up, Chu Nanzhi was startled.
Isn't this figure, this black silk shirt, and this scene exactly what I dreamed about?
Could it be that this dog is here to kill himself?
But how did he know that he was coming to Puluo'an?
Chu Nanzhi felt a little puzzled.
This is getting more and more interesting.
Also worried that he would not dare to attack her, Chu Nanzhi deliberately pretended to be unsuspecting, and said to Sang Qi: "Sang Qi, you stand guard at the door, I want to talk to my uncle today."
Sang Qi frowned, and looked at Lin Jinhong hesitantly.
What can the master and this friend have to say?
Sang Qi was a little confused.
"Don't worry, he is my uncle, will he still harm me?"
Chu Nanzhi smiled meaningfully at Lin Jinhong.
Lin Jinhong forcefully forced a smile: "How dare, my sister-in-law is now the governor's wife, and she will be named Princess Pingning in the near future. It's too late for my younger brother to curry favor, so how could she have malicious intentions?"
Sangqi felt something was wrong.
Just now the master told her to be more careful, and now Lin Jinhong is not dealing with the master, so why does she want to go out by herself.
Looking at the master's deep eyes, she had an idea, and seemed to understand something, so she had to leave the Buddhist hall as she said.
When there were only two people left in the hall, Chu Nanzhi also directly challenged without fear: "Erlang, if you want to harm your sister-in-law and vent your anger on your sister and mother, now is the best time, otherwise you will miss it." Great opportunity and I'm sure you'll never have a better chance than this."
"Sister-in-law is talking nonsense. Didn't I just say that I came to visit sister Jinlan? Sister-in-law is the great benefactor of my Lin family. How dare I disrespect you. Since you married your brother, the Lin family has become more and more serious. There is hope."
Lin Jinhong looked at her with a stiff smile: "How short a time has it been? Elder brother has been promoted to a noble and crowned king, and everything depends on his sister-in-law."
"If you say that, the sister-in-law is ashamed."
Chu Nanzhi knelt down on the futon in a serious manner, and deliberately let down her vigilance to pay respects to the Guanyin statue: "It is God's blessing, since I came to the nunnery today, I happened to pay respects to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and begged her to protect our Lin family in Luyan Port to prosperity forever. .”
After the words fell, I personally lit a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense altar, closed my eyes and began to worship sincerely.
Lin Jinhong saw that she was defenseless against him, which was really a golden opportunity.
Decisively, he pulled out the big knife hidden in advance from under the coffin not far away, and slashed at her back.
But just as he raised the shining broadsword in his hand, he was hit hard by a hard object in the back, causing him to let out a mournful "Ouch" scream, and fell down like a dog eating shit.
The knife in his hand also made a loud bang and fell to the ground.
Chu Nanzhi was startled when he heard that, and quickly opened his eyes, looking at Lin Jinhong who staggered to the ground, that ferocious and painful face was both aggrieved and uncomfortable, which made people feel distressed.
"Erlang, what are you doing? Are you still afraid that I will disrespect the heavens and insist on prostrate on the ground for inspection?"
Chu Nanzhi joked endlessly, Lin Jinhong was numb from the pain in his back, and was about to get up, but Sang Qi directly pushed him to the ground with his backhand.
"Easy, light, Sang Qi, why did you treat my brother-in-law so hard, not to mention your lord, as a sister-in-law, I feel very distressed when I see it."
Chu Nanzhi glanced at the coffin-carrying staff with a thick bowl mouth in her hand, and calmly picked up the big knife that fell on the ground.
Lin Jinhong gritted his teeth angrily, and cursed: "Chu Nanzhi, you bitch, you're plotting against me again."
"I plot against you?"
Chu Nanzhi held the big knife, bent down, and stared at him sharply: "Erlang, are you talking the wrong way?"
If it wasn't for the nightmares of the past few days, she might not be wary of Lin Jinhong.
Although this silly boy is a complete bastard, he is not yet bold enough to dare to kill.
"Say, who were you instigated to come here to assassinate me?"
Chu Nanzhi yelled at him, and suddenly thought of Lin Tingyan's words.
Could it be Lin Tingkai, Uncle of the Three Emperors?
His arrangement was clever, and he encouraged Lin Jinhong to come here.
Lin Jinxiao has arranged so many guards around him, no matter how powerful an assassin is, it may be difficult for him to get close to him. Only Lin Jinhong can get close to him, and he won't be too wary of him.
If I really carelessly let this dog's trick succeed, I will really make those people laugh.
