Lu Mingfei, who was squatting by the threshold, noticed the person coming, patted his hands stained with apple juice, stood up and adjusted his appearance to welcome the visitor. Lin Nian, who was beside him, raised his head slightly when he saw the person coming, but was slightly stunned. Living.

"What's the matter, it has a big background?" Lu Mingfei noticed Lin Nian's strange expression and asked subconsciously.

"No, you go in first, that's just a friend of mine." Lin Nian said.

"You have a lot of friends, why is this one so special? Is it a friend who can't be seen?" Lu Mingfei complained subconsciously.

"Don't be poor."

Lu Mingfei pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders, turned and entered the Norton Pavilion, and Liu Linnian stood alone at the gate, waiting for the man on the stone road to come to the door.

Standing at the door was a man carrying a sword brocade bag with a pattern of hounds and birds. In front of Lin Nian, he raised his head slightly, the collar of the windbreaker was tugging, revealing the corner of a colorful red ghost. His neck and shoulder bones were full of burns and cuts. The healing connective traces, those shocking traces may look bleak on other people, but on him, they added the cruelty they should have out of thin air.

The man who came from afar stood in front of Lin Nian and met his eyes. Some strange colors passed by in his eyes, which seemed to be nostalgic, and then turned into calmness in a moment. After a simple nod, he greeted him,
"Long time no see, Lin Nianjun."

"It's been a long time." Lin Qingnian said, looking at the other person's more scars, but still cold and familiar face, he felt a little like a lifetime ago, "I didn't expect to see you at this time, Ryoichi."

Ryoichi Okubo, the envoy of the Japanese branch to Kassel College for exchange in special circumstances.The two young people stood together and said nothing more after greeting each other. They didn't need to communicate with those secretly hiding words, because they both knew each other's personality, and they would only act in a way that suited each other's temperament. .

"I heard that you got into a lot of trouble." Ryoichi, who was carrying a brocade sword bag, looked up and down Lin Nian, "It seems to be true now."

"So you came to see my joke?" Lin Nian tilted his head.

"If you insist on thinking that way." Ryoichi did not refute.

Lin Nian was silent, Ryoichi was also silent, the two looked at each other, stepped forward and hugged each other.

There is no need for their relationship to be hypocritical, and they will say what they want to say directly. It is already an incredible thing to be able to meet here.

"There are indeed many people in our family who are very happy to see you in the quagmire. They think this is an opportunity to remove a threat to the future of our family without their efforts." Ryoichi and Lin Nian said after embracing each other.

"The secret party and our family haven't reached the point of confrontation yet. What are they worrying about in such a hurry?" Lin Nian looked at the old man in front of him, and even if he talked about unpleasant things, he would feel much better.

"Soon." Ryoichi tilted his head slightly, making the scar on his neck even more ferocious, "Recently, the situation in Japan has become chaotic. Set off a turmoil, and the situation over there will not be much better than yours."

"Is it related to the ghosts? Didn't I beat them up last time in Japan?" Lin Nian frowned and looked at the many scars on Ryoichi's body. Those scars were very new, and they were obviously left after a life-threatening battle. , especially the incision on the neck, which was almost cut close to the aorta. If it was a little bit off, he doubted whether Ryoichi would still be standing in front of him alive.

"You don't have much dealings with ghosts. If you have a deep understanding of this tissue, you will know that it is a Japanese abscess. After you clean part of the wound, it will ooze pus again after a period of time, and even Cause other lesions." Ryoichi shook his head, "Don't talk about the fierce ghosts, this is not the purpose of my visit this time."

"The Japanese branch wants to intervene in the hearing. You may need a suitable reason." Lin Nian looked at the eagle dog of the executive bureau in front of him and said, "The hearing is indeed allowed to attend, but the number of seats is limited and only allocated To regular students and staff of Kassel College."

"The hearing clearly limited the seats for observers, but it did not expressly limit the number of witness seats. I guess the party holding the hearing should be very liberal in this regard. After all, if I were them, I would definitely want strong witnesses The more the better, you can make your opponent never have a chance to stand up." Ryoichi said lightly.

"Have you not been hindered on your way?"

"There are still obstacles, but the main resistance is on the side of the family. If it weren't for the young master, I would not have the opportunity to meet you here." Ryoichi took out a gentian-patterned ring from the pocket of the windbreaker. The patriarch's keepsake is similar to the ancient Chinese "emperor's decree", which means "seeing things as seeing people".If there are hawks and dogs of the main family around, when Ryoichi takes out this ring, they will immediately step back and bow at ninety degrees.

"Yuan Zhisheng? I thought my relationship with him hadn't reached this point yet." Lin Nian felt that there was a lot of deep meaning hidden in the gentian pattern ring.

"It's not as complicated as you think." Ryoichi interrupted Lin Nian's thinking before he was about to diverge and told the deeper truth, "There are other people who really support you."

Lin Nian was stunned, he looked at the skylark hairpin that Ryoichi took out again.Pure white, fine handmade products, it most often appears on the top of a woman's head as an ornament, I remember the last time I saw it was on a witch's red hair.

The memory of the beautiful maiden wearing red and white feathers holding a gold and silver fan on the futon with clear dark red eyes, dancing to the music of maracas and flutes gradually came to mind.

"Patriarch Uesugi cares about you very much. She wanted to contact you more than once after she knew about your situation, but she was stopped by the young master." Ryoichi said slowly, "It's a big mess, and it's the first time for all the patriarchs to see you. That kind of Uesugi Patriarch tried to run away from home more than ten times in three days, so self-willed that it can be said that he lost control. In the end, the young master came forward and held a meeting of eight Patriarchs in Xingshen Temple in the name of Uesugi Family Only then did we confirm that our family will send people to get involved in this troublesome matter that shouldn't be ours."

"In the end, you became the unlucky candidate." Lin Nian understood the cause and effect, "What is the order from my family?"

"Tell the truth." Ryoichi looked into Lin Nian's eyes, "Attend as a witness at the hearing and answer any questions King Solomon asked me about you."

"Neutral stand." Lin Nian expressed his understanding, "It seems that you don't need to be a villain anymore."

"Otherwise I wouldn't have made this trip." Liang picked up the brocade sword bag that he had been holding in his hand and handed it to Lin Nian, "I heard that your knife is broken. Until you find a suitable replacement , you can use her temporarily."

Lin Nian took the sword bag and untied it to reveal a section of the hilt inside. On the dark hilt was a complicated inscription of nine characters engraved as the inner inscription: All those who are fighting are in front.Gently push the knife with the thumb to reveal a section of light white, the blade is inch wide (slightly shorter) by visual inspection, the body is wide, the cut is slightly delayed, and the posture is smooth and powerful.It is the best and the biggest property of the last ancient knife.There is an inscription on the knife stem saying: Izumi guards Fujiwara Kane.

"Why is the treasured sword of the Miyamoto family in your hands? Where is Miyamoto Isshin?" Lin Nian looked up at Ryoichi.

"I'm married, and the partner is a good match. After taking off the status of an exchange student at Kassel College, he was forced to inherit the family business when he returned to the family. He entrusted this knife to me, so what to do with her is My business." Ryoichi answered the situation succinctly.

"I can't accept this." Lin Nian shook his head.

"I didn't say I would give it to you." Ryoichi glanced at him lightly, "I will take him away when I leave here, and just lent him to you before then."

Lin Nian, who was holding a knife, couldn't help but twitch his brows. He felt that the guy in front of him was thinking something. Is it because he was afraid that he would not be able to stab someone at the hearing?
"Here, a person like you should have a handy knife at hand." Ryoichi put away the gentian pattern ring and the skylark hairpin.

"There is one more question." Lin Nian put away the knife bag, stared at Ryoichi and said slowly, "Who disclosed my affairs to Patriarch Uesugi? There is no reason for her under the care of the family to be well-informed enough to know the headquarters. Things, even if the incident is a big one, she shouldn't be the first to hear about it."

After listening to Lin Nian's question, Ryoichi looked into his eyes and said calmly, "I told Patriarch Uesugi, otherwise Patriarch Uesugi would have no chance to know about it."

".Are you joking?" Lin Nian frowned suddenly. "No offense intended. As you, you shouldn't be able to get in touch with Patriarch Uesugi, let alone reveal this information to her."

"No, I did tell Patriarch Uesugi about this matter. I know Patriarch Uesugi will go to some restaurants in Tokyo regularly every month. So I found an opportunity to pass the news to her through the waiter's hand." Ryoichi Answering truthfully, this made Lin Nian look at him strangely.

"Then how did you know about this?" Lin Nian frowned and chose to ask, because his intuition told him that there was something he didn't know about.

"Someone called me. On the phone, she told me about the trouble you encountered and asked me to find a way to help you." Ryoichi explained calmly, "I don't think I can help you with my current power. What are you doing, so I chose to tell the truth about this matter to the person I think can help you, that is, Patriarch Uesugi."

"A person like you shouldn't trust others so easily, unless that person has credibility that you can't question." Lin Nian lowered his eyes slightly, "Who called you? If it's a friend, then Tell me the truth."

"We are indeed friends, but it has nothing to do with me telling you the answer, because that person has never thought about hiding her identity, and even if she wanted to, I wouldn't help her." Ryoichi took out his mobile phone and flashed the A cell phone number that Lin Nian was unfamiliar with, and a name that Lin Nian was no stranger to,

"Mandy Gonzalez, she's the one who approached me to help you."
