Sansheng

The horseshoe galloped, and the sound of killing behind him became farther and farther away. In the blink of an eye, he had already run hundreds of meters, and finally no one was chasing him.There was dead silence around, only Lin Zhong was left alone, he stopped slowly, listening to his beating heartbeat, thump-thump-thump-thump-

Chu Ao's last expression appeared in his mind, and there seemed to be a look of death in his eyes.

"Drive!" Turning his horse's head around, Lin Zhongfeng ran back likewise.This time, I didn't know my life or death, but I didn't look back, because I knew that if I left alone, I would spend the rest of my life in guilt and shame.

But when they got to the place where they were just fighting, there were no living people walking around except for a few corpses on the ground.Lin Zhong jumped off the horse in a hurry, looking at the faces of the corpses one by one, not this one, nor that one.

When it was confirmed that every corpse was not Chu Ao, Lin Zhong was greatly relieved.But, Chu Ao, where have you been? Are you still alive now?His eyes fell on several corpses, each of them was sealed with a sword at the neck, the wounds were crisp and sharp, presumably the sword was like a gust of wind, with the potential to break bamboo, Chu Ao, did you kill these people alone?Lin Zhong really couldn't associate the person who was out of shape with the person who drew the sword. Could it be that someone rescued him?

But where are you now, dead or alive?

I searched all over the place for several miles, but I couldn't find anyone alive or dead.

In desperation, Lin Zhong had no choice but to ride his horse and go to the palace.

Gradually entering the bustling place, people's voices became louder, and the Beili Imperial City finally arrived.Looking at the majestic city wall, solid city gate, and palace pavilions with golden bricks and green tiles in front of him, Lin Zhongyou felt for the first time in his life that he had such a passionate affection for this palace.This is his home, his palace, and he has come home at last.

Bei Li, I'm back.

Madam, I'm back.

"Guo'er! My Guo'er! You are finally back!" As soon as she ran into the concubine's bedroom, Concubine Ning An groped her way out of the bed. Out of impatience, she fell to the ground. Lin Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to help her When she got up, she hugged Lin Zhong, her tears were like broken beads, but unfortunately, those eyes that were once like autumn water were like two pools of stagnant water, unable to shine a single gleam.

"Mother and concubine, the child is unfilial and has made you suffer!" Lin Zhong looked into her eyes, tears streaming down his face, filled with remorse.Back then, I should have listened to her and not go to Nanhua. If I hadn't been aggressive and aggressive, how could I have made her lose her eyesight?

"Guo'er, it's good to be back, I have you enough." A smile appeared on Concubine Ning An's beautiful face, "Promise me, never leave again."

"Okay, concubine mother, I will never leave you again!" Lin Zhong rested his head on Concubine Ning An's lap, obedient as a child, Concubine Ning An gently stroked his hair like a spring breeze warmth.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, followed by a resounding "The emperor is here!" Lin Yihuan, Lin Lin, and Lin Cong rushed into the bedroom.Before Lin Zhong got up and knelt down, Lin Yihuan hugged Lin Zhong, with tears of excitement in his eyes, "Guoer! You are finally back! I thought you were killed in Nanhua, and I was so sad that I stayed with you two overnight. Brother and all the ministers discussed the plan to conquer the south, and now, the Beili army is almost arriving in Nanhua."

"What!" Lin Zhong became anxious when he heard this, "Father! Nan Hua didn't hurt a single hair of his son, so don't start a war because of impatience!

"He, Nanhua, has been dishonest in the past few years. He should have dealt with them long ago. This matter of yours happened to be a pretext! Except for Nanhua, it also saves him from always provoking wars. Anyway, this battle will be fought sooner or later. The person who spoke was Lin Lin, who has always advocated rejuvenating the country through war, with a handsome face full of hostility, and eyes full of desire for victory.

"Yes, Nanhua is a vast and fertile land. If Nanhua is included in Beili, and we manage it together with Beili's Qingming national policy, everyone can be prosperous and healthy, which is also a good thing for the benefit of the world!" This is Lin Cong, with eyebrows and eyes slanted into the temples, and his tone was neither hasty nor slow, as if he was about to persuade Lin Zhong.

"What do you think, Guo'er?" Lin Yihuan turned his eyes to Lin Zhong.

"Please forgive me for being rude, Guo'er thinks this battle is extremely inappropriate! There are three reasons: First, I just came back from Nanhua and saw that the country is safe and peaceful, and everyone enjoys their own happiness. As soon as Li's iron hooves enter, there will be wars everywhere, families will be destroyed, and the two countries will go to war, and those who suffer are innocent people. As a king or a minister, you should put the life and death of the people in the world first, right?" Lin Zhong said. Looking at Lin Yihuan enthusiastically and sincerely, Lin Yihuan frowned, thoughtful.Then, Lin Zhong turned to the eldest prince Lin Lin, and continued: "Secondly, although Nanhua Kingdom has repeatedly provoked in recent years, it has not actually invaded in the end. We want to punish, so we can do it appropriately. It is just because of the border. Just a little friction in the world, and a large army will be raised to suppress the border. People all over the world will see that it doesn't look like he, Nanhua, is making trouble, but it seems that Beili deliberately provoked a war. The emperor always taught children before that those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world, and those who fight first It is bound to lose the hearts of the people, and the price is too heavy." Just when Lin Lin blushed and wanted to refute again, Lin Zhong raised his voice loudly, "Thirdly, I believe that the world is so big and every place is rich, how can it be All in one person's pocket, looking up, every country is trying to maintain checks and balances with its neighbors. Among them, the effort to maintain this balanced relationship is a whip and warning to itself. Keep a clear mind for those in power, work hard to govern, and govern the country diligently, don't you think so? Second brother?" After speaking, he looked at the second prince Lin Cong, who raised his lips and showed admiration on his face.

Just when everyone fell silent, Lin Yihuan applauded Lin Zhong.

"Guo'er, I'm not mistaken. Your benevolence is the foundation of governing the country and the people." Lin Yihuan's eyes were full of admiration, but because the other two princes were there, he clicked, "It's up to you Yes, withdraw troops!" With a wave of his big hand, Lin Yihuan immediately issued an order.

The corner of Lin Lin's mouth twitched vigorously, but Lin Cong kept smiling and applauded along with his father.

"I want to give amnesty to the world, so that everyone in the world can celebrate the safe return of my emperor! Tonight I will hold a big banquet, and have a good drink with Guoer!" Lin Yi laughed and patted Lin Zhong on the shoulder.

"Thank you, father!" Lin Zhong hurriedly thanked him.

"Your Majesty, Guo'er has just returned, can you let him rest for a night, and return to court tomorrow?" Concubine Ning An, who hadn't spoken for a long time, opened her mouth.

"Oh... Concubine Ai... You're right, it's not too late to have a banquet tomorrow, Guoer, rest well tonight, and celebrate with a banquet tomorrow!" Lin Yihuan secretly regretted that he was not as considerate and considerate as Concubine Ai.

"Yes, Royal Father, Guo'er obeys the order!"

After seeing off his father and brothers, Lin Zhong leaned against Concubine Ning An again, "Concubine Mother, I'm not tired, I'm very happy tonight..."

"Kneel down!" Concubine Ning An pushed Lin Zhong aside.

"Mother Concubine, what's the matter with you?" Lin Zhong was puzzled and asked suspiciously. It's very rare for his mother to be so angry, and she was fine just now.

"Don't sleep tonight, go to the study and copy Zisi's "The Doctrine of the Mean."

"Mother, why is this?"

"You still come to ask me, how do I teach you on weekdays, don't show your sharpness, do you know that what you said just now will bring you a disaster of death?"

Lowering his head aggrievedly, Lin Zhong was a little angry and didn't speak.

Feeling that the words were a bit harsh, Concubine Ning An groped forward with her hand, and then helped Lin Zhong who was on the ground over.

"Guo'er, don't blame the mother and concubine. Do you know that in this vast palace, although there are thousands of people, they are orderly and orderly?"

"Because everyone has their own set of survival rules, which is to position themselves, where they are, and what to do." Lin Zhong replied in a low voice. This was taught by his mother and concubine since he was a child, and he has long been familiar with it. .

"Since you know, why don't you do it? You answer Mother Concubine, where is your position?"

"After the country is subjugated, the son of the concubine, the third prince Lin Zhong, will stay away from the prince of Bianyi who is not the emperor."

"Then you know what to do?"

Lin Zhong bit his lip and tried his best to hold back his tears, "But, concubine mother! I don't want to be just a third prince! Like the two elder brothers, I am the son of my father. I am talented in martial arts. I don't lose to them. I also want to participate in politics like them and work for the well-being of the people, and I also want to have the same rights as them to pursue what I want!"

"What do you want? What are you referring to?" Concubine Ning An's dark eyes were full of worry and worry, "Guo'er, don't you think you've already wanted to fight for it?"

"Yes! Concubine mother! Guo'er never wants to see concubine mother being discriminated against by others, and you don't want to see you endure the oppression of second concubine, and you are insulted by queen mother! Guo'er never wants to see you alone in private again. Secretly wiping tears, father has his difficulties, he has to take into account the feelings of everyone, he wants to protect you, but he will harm you, but I am different from him, I want to stand in the highest position of power, when the time comes, I will be your most powerful shield wall! You will not suffer any more grievances!"

What she said made Concubine Ning An burst into tears. She hugged Lin Zhong and cried, "Guoer, my dear Guoer, my concubine doesn't want you to fight for the throne, as long as you are good, concubine mother doesn't care about anything." don't want……"

Tears dripped from his turbid eyes on Lin Zhong's face, Lin Zhong just remained silent, and Concubine Ning An naturally couldn't see it, but that still immature face had firmness and stubbornness that didn't match her age, the more she was attracted by The more I tell you about untouchable things, the more I want to try my best.

Concubine Mu, believe me, one day, I will make you proud in front of the world!

In the dead of night, Lin Zhong was still copying a book by candlelight. The tiredness of running around for several days hit his eyes, his hand holding the brush gradually loosened, and his consciousness gradually became blurred. what is that?After thinking about it, his head rested heavily on his arms, and there was a well-proportioned and soothing snort.

"Guo'er? Guo'er? Wake up." A familiar voice came, chuckling teasingly.

Lin Zhong opened his eyes, it was Chu Ao!

"Guo'er, do you miss me?" Chu Ao rubbed against his body in such a shameless manner again.

"No!" Lin Zhong tilted his head and raised his head, but the corner of his mouth couldn't hide a smile.

"Guo'er, you are so heartless, look at me, in order to save you, I would..." There was a hint of crying in Chu Ao's voice.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Zhong hurriedly looked at him to see if he was injured. His body, arms, and legs were all fine, but when he raised his head, he was so shocked by Chu Ao in front of him that he almost lost his mind .

Chu Ao's eyes, nose, and mouth were full of bright red blood, dripping and falling to the ground. He covered his heart with one hand, and there was a long sword inserted there, which was Lin Zhong's. It was blood, stretching straight towards Lin Zhong.

"In order to save you, I died...you didn't even think about me, hello...you are so cruel!" As he spoke, he grabbed Lin Zhong's arm with his hands, and his nails sank into his flesh. It seems to pinch the blood out.

"Ah!" Lin Zhong yelled in pain, opened his eyes and saw that there was no one around, only a flickering candle lamp was in front of the table, illuminating the square inch of space, he panted heavily in panic, touched Forehead, full of sweat.
