Chapter 292 Going to Huashan in Person

Li Zhao was very angry.

It was not easy for Li Tang to avoid border troubles, which was a good opportunity for her to govern and realize her ambitions.

She had planned to make some reforms in the court.

But she didn't expect that.

The Tusi rebellion in the southwest had occurred again.

Let's not talk about how to severely punish King Wu. The most important thing now is to quell the Tusi rebellion.

Thinking of this, Li Zhao called Wang Chengen.

Let him summon the general of Yulin and Lin Chenjia to the palace to meet the emperor.

However, Wang Chengen's expression became strange when he heard this, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? A few days ago, Lin Chenjia reported that his mother had passed away, so he planned to return home to mourn for half a year."

Li Zhao's cheeks twitched slightly when he heard Wang Chengen's reminder.

Doesn't she know whether Lin Chen has parents?

This reminded Li Zhao.

Lin Chen was indeed not in the court this time.

In name, he asked for leave to go back to mourn.

In fact, Li Zhao didn't know what Lin Chen was going to do after taking leave.

Li Zhao had previously thought of Lin Chen's hard work and great achievements, and he had been in the limelight recently, which attracted the attention of court officials.

As the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, so Li Zhao agreed to Lin Chen's leave.

Unexpectedly... just a few days after he left, he caused such a big mess.

Of course, for Li Zhao.

The absence of Lin Chen did not hinder her from ruling the Li Tang Dynasty.

It was just that a useful minister was gone, which made her a little unhappy.

"Convey my order!"

Li Zhao read out a list of ministers' names and summoned them to the imperial study to discuss the rebellion of the chieftains in the southwest.

Wang Chengen immediately bowed and left, rushing to convey the order.

As for Lin Chen.

He didn't know about the southwest.

He only saw an inn located on the hillside on one side of the post road, with the word "restaurant" hanging on the door, welcoming guests.

"Hey!"

Two young men dressed as rich young men walked into the inn together.

The sleepy waiter at the door saw that there was business, and hurriedly came forward to greet them.

"Guests are coming! Guests are coming!"

The waiter shouted and then smiled, "Two distinguished guests, are you here to eat or stay overnight?"

"Oh?"

The young master in brocade robes, with a playful smile on his face, asked casually, "I heard that you sell human meat buns here?"

As soon as this was said.

The busy people in the inn paused.

"Guest, sir, what are you talking about?"

The waiter's face became unnatural.

"Before you quibble, hide the knife behind your back first." Another young man laughed.

The waiter heard the other person's voice and laughed.

I thought it was a young man, but it turned out to be a young lady.

"Brothers!"

The waiter's face turned grim when he saw that he was exposed. "These two people are delicate and tender, just right for making meat soup!"

After saying that, he waved the dagger in his hand and stabbed the chest of the young man in front of him.

Tsk.

What Lin Chen didn't expect was that.

He encountered three black shops in a row within a hundred miles of the capital this time!

This one was even more unusual, and it even sold Sun Erniang's human meat buns.

Swish!

Under the wide eyes of the waiter, Lin Chen slightly put his two fingers together.

The blade was clamped and could not move forward or backward.

This shocked the waiter, who knew that the person in front of him might be a master, and immediately shouted: "Point stab..."

Before the last word came out, a strong wind came out through his neck.

Puff!

Blood splashed!

The person who was traveling with Lin Chen was naturally Xiao Zhao.

She took out two short knives from somewhere and rushed into the crowd of waiters.

The next second, the broken limbs flew.

Xiao Zhao was indeed from the Demon Sect, and his attack was much more ruthless than Lin Chen.

Or rather, Xiao Zhao showed no mercy to the cannibals in front of him.

"Ah!!"

"My hand!"

In less than an incense stick of time.

The inn became quiet.

Only a mess was left.

Lin Chen walked leisurely into the back of the shop, not looking at the half-skinned and decomposed people and animals on the chopping board, and raised his eyes slightly.

He saw an old man dressed as a shopkeeper, looking at Lin Chen with a bitter face.

"This good man, hero."

The latter was trembling and was about to kneel down and beg for mercy.

However!

Whoosh!

A poisoned flying knife flew straight into Lin Chen's eyes.

How could the existence of being the leader in this bandit's nest be a simple person?

Just when the old man was complacent and thought he could catch the young man in front of him by surprise.

His eyes went black.

Lin Chen played with the flying knife and returned it.

The flying knife pierced the old man's forehead, and he fell to the ground without a sound.

In this way, there was no one alive in the whole shop.

Lin Chen did not go to search for the valuables in the shop.

Instead, he and Xiao Zhao found some dry food to fill their stomachs and waited for someone to arrive.

Soon, a sound of horse hooves was heard on the post road.

Then a group of people quickly got off their horses and walked into the shop.

Lin Chen looked at the young man who came to pick him up and couldn't help but smile.

It's still an acquaintance.

This person is Linghu Chong.

After seeing Lin Chen, Linghu Chong couldn't help but think of the things in the capital, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, Linghu Chong still stepped forward to salute Lin Chen.

"Meet General Lin!"

Linghu Chong said, and couldn't help but look at the handsome man in front of him, who looked like a banished immortal.

So handsome!

Linghu Chong was amazed in his heart.

I didn’t expect that General Lin, who showed his ghost face, was really as beautiful as the legendary Lanling King!

As for the disciples with swords on their backs behind Linghu Chong, they also stared at Lin Chen with curiosity.

These were all Huashan disciples.

Lin Chen waved his hand and chuckled, “Brother Linghu, you don’t have to be polite.”

Linghu Chong didn’t dare to be arrogant and just said it was the master’s order.

For Linghu Chong.

He was also quite curious about why this big man in the court suddenly had the leisure to visit Huashan Sect.

Yue Buqun didn’t think so much about this.

Or he wished that Lin Chen had a closer relationship with Huashan Sect.

The chat ended.

Linghu Chong then noticed the corpse on the floor of the inn and was startled: “Master Lin, this is.”

Xiao Zhao asked back in a bad mood: “I heard that this place belongs to Huashan Sect, why is there a black shop that feeds on people?”

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Linghu Chong then realized that the person next to Lin Chen was a woman.

But what concerned him was the latter's words.

"Cannibalism, a black shop?"

Linghu Chong reacted and immediately waved his hand to let his fellow disciples follow him to the back kitchen to find out what was going on.

Soon.

Linghu Chong and others came out.

Linghu Chong looked very unhappy.

And the Huashan disciples following him were already retching and coughing.

Obviously, what Xiao Zhao said was true.

In the end, this black shop was burned down by Xiao Zhao.

Huashan was called Taihua Mountain in ancient times and is one of the Five Sacred Mountains.

In this world, it is the location of the Huashan Sect.

At the foot of Huashan, there are many cities and villages of all sizes.

It can be seen.

Huashan Sect is quite popular here.

From a certain perspective, this is thanks to Yue Buqun.

In the early years, Huashan was in turmoil, and the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect had different ideas and fought each other.

The whole Huashan was left with only a few big and small cats.
