against fate

.This is Luo Zichuan, right?Who loved to ignore him yesterday, wishing to cut himself into pieces?

A slight smile appeared on Lin Suiyan's face again. "After sleeping, Mr. Chen has changed so much?"

"But since Mr. Chen said that no matter where he goes, he will hurt others, why are you still rushing to follow me?"

"Master Chen is trying to harm me..." Lin Sui said.

Seeing that the calculation in his heart was exposed, Luo Zichuan was a little annoyed, "You, in the end, do you agree or not?"

Seeing Luo Zichuan's true colors, Lin Suiyan smiled even brighter, "Yes. But I'm not a kind person. I offended the people in the court thoroughly. If anything happens, I will abandon Mr. Chen. Don't hate me."

Luo Zichuan gave him a blank look.

"I want to go out for a while, Mr. Chen?" Lin Sui said.

"Where are you going?" Luo Zichuan asked.

"Oh yes, I forgot to tell Mr. Chen. To be my subordinate, you must first take care of your mouth. If your mouth is faster than your brain, it must be bad."

The implication: don't ask if you shouldn't ask.

When Lu Yunqiu saw Luo Zichuan walking side by side with his son, he couldn't help being surprised.

"This..." Lu Yunqiu was puzzled.

"A new subordinate." Lin Suiyan replied.

"Then, Mr. Chen...you..." Lu Yunqiu cast a suspicious look at Luo Zichuan.

Luo Zichuan didn't respond, his eyelids drooped, and he looked like "it's none of his business".

"Young Master, Young Master Chen, please." Lu Yunqiu waved his hand.

"That's right. You and him are equals from now on, you don't need to call him 'Young Master', call him—" Lin Suiyan turned his questioning gaze to Luo Zichuan.

"Call me Luo..." Before the word 'Zichuan' came out, Lin Suiyan said first, "Call him Zichuan."

Luo Zichuan hated this name very much.He and Lu Yunqiu are not related, so there is no need to call them so close.To be honest, if it wasn't for finding a backer for himself, he really wanted to call in the imperial army loudly and chop the man in front of him half to death.

But this can only be thought about.

There were only two people following behind Yijun Bian.One Luozichuan, one Lu Yunqiu.

Although Bian Yijun has no reputation in the Jianghu, and even said that few people know him, but after all, he is a person from the Jianghu, and he has offended the court. He always takes a few bodyguards to protect himself when he goes out.Although he took advantage of the geographical advantage of the Mizong Forest and used the mist to scare the soldiers of the imperial court to the point of losing their courage.But if you look closely, this person really doesn't have a lot of skills other than tossing the whip and pretending to be a ghost.Wouldn't this kind of person be afraid of killing more than ten people when they went out?

But Bian Yijun is different from ordinary people, his ideas are often the extremes that others think.He thought that if he traveled thousands of miles to the cemetery to pay homage to his father, he must be unobtrusive.If the form is too complicated, it will often hurt yourself.

7. Bad horse

◎Master Chen, be careful, don't fall down again. ◎

The fog did not dissipate due to the passage of time, but instead became denser.Even a person like Lu Yunqiu who has lived in the Lost Forest for a long time has bumped into a tree several times.

When Lu Yunqiu bumped into a tree for the third time, Lin Suiyan couldn't bear it, "Yunqiu, follow me."

Lu Yunqiu rubbed his head and murmured: "I'm sorry, my lord, I..."

Luo Zichuan didn't say a word, just watching the show.

Lin Suiyan had a good memory, so good that he didn't remember anything wrong even at an intersection.After passing the muddy mountain road, I came to the steps.

The road was not easy. Last time, Luo Zichuan only cared about avoiding the pursuers, but this time he was finally able to relax and notice more scenery.

The cool wind blew, and the branches swayed everywhere.The crow was frightened, and rushed out in a "hustle and bustle".Luo Zichuan was startled, and subconsciously shivered.

"Zichuan?" Lin Suiyan stared at him jokingly.

Luo Zichuan hated addressing with excessive intimacy, and said with a look of disgust, "Call me by my name."

"Your name..." Lin Suiyan lowered his voice and moved his head closer, "Is it Luo Zichuan, or Chen Zichuan?"

Lu Yunqiu turned his head, just in time to see this scene - his son's hair is light, and the mask on his face seems to be stuck on Luo Zichuan's face.Perhaps it was because of the weird position of Lin Suiyan's station, and the obviously tense atmosphere was extremely ambiguous in Lu Yunqiu's eyes.

"You can do whatever you want!" Luo Zichuan thought about it again and again, and replied with such a sentence.

The three of them left the Lost Forest.

When Luo Zichuan saw the hustle and bustle of the market, he was overjoyed.As long as he saw a place with a lot of people, he would feel safe in his heart.

No matter where Bian Yijun wants to go, if he can't arrive within a day, he will choose to go there on horseback.But Lu Yunqiu didn't prepare horses in advance, so Luo Zichuan had to pick three horses along with him.

The horse seller was a young man. When he saw someone coming, he said honestly, "Three gentlemen, do you want to buy a horse?"

"Buy three good horses." Lu Yunqiu said.

"This..." The horse seller's eyes were narrowed, leaving only a slit, and he weighed his hands invisibly, as if he was gesturing for something.

Lin Suiyan took out a money bag from his bosom, "We have money." After that, the bag flew out suddenly and landed in the horse seller's hands accurately.

"Okay! Three young masters, wait a moment!" He took the horse desperately.

Lin Suiyan's eyes flickered, and his tone was flattering: "I'm at a loss..."

"What's the loss?" Luo Zichuan was puzzled.

"Someone is going to be my subordinate, so let's not talk about whether they can protect me in times of crisis. Just the expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation are not spent by my master." Lin Suiyan's mouth twitched slightly.

"With this money alone, it is enough to hire a few bodyguards and thugs." Lin Sui said.

These words were quite unpleasant, but Luo Zichuan swallowed his anger angrily.That's right, he doesn't have any money on him now, so he can only suffer misfortune wherever he goes, so he can only follow Mr. Yiyi shamelessly, cheating some daily expenses in the name of protection.

"But I didn't let you buy a horse?" Luo Zichuan retorted.

"Oh? Then your Excellency wants to watch Yunqiu and I gallop ahead on a fast horse. Are you running behind? Or..." Lin Suiyan paused, moved closer to Luo Zichuan's face, He said ambiguously, "Ride a horse with me?"

The horse seller looked around in the stable for a while, and there were three horses left, no more, no less.One of them was slightly thinner and listless, as if sick.

"Fourth brother, I have raised this horse since I was a child, but its hoof has been hurt and it can't run fast. If you want it, I'll give it to you at a lower price..." He looked at the horse, slightly lost in thought.

Lu Yunqiu's urging voice came from beside his ears: "Are you ready? Hurry up!"

"Oh—" He quickly responded, took the rein, and said to himself: "It doesn't matter, whoever rides is unlucky!"

When he came out, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. These three horses are all good. Don't worry, gentlemen..." Those who know horses will know that there is something wrong with the horse when they see it. But the three teenagers in front of them can be called "wet suckers".After all, it wasn't the first time he had done this kind of "bad horse acting as a good horse", and his expression was very precise.Although I feel a little bit sorry in my heart, the feeling of self-blame is quickly diluted by the joy of making money.

Luo Zichuan naturally noticed the thin horse.In fact, apart from its smaller shape, its hair is not as bright as the other two.In comparison, it looked extremely haggard.

Seeing that Yijun Yijun and Lu Yunqiu had no intention of choosing to ride this horse, Luo Zichuan pulled the rein cruelly, "I'll ride this horse."

Lu Yunqiu looked the horse up and down for a moment, then looked at the seller, "Are you sure these are good horses?"

"It's true." He replied affirmatively.

There is an endless stream of pedestrians passing by here.Luo Zichuan got on his horse, his clothes fluttered, he was a heroic and handsome young man!The girls around were staring in a daze, with an abnormal blush on their faces.

In contrast, Lin Suiyan was left out in the cold.

Lu Yunqiu has a boyish face, but the shortcoming is that he is too ordinary, just stuck at the junction of "beautiful" and "ugly", and has no memory points.Lin Suiyan still has confidence in his appearance, but a large part of his face is covered by a black mask, only his blood-red lips are exposed.Baobuqi is a scar left on his face, and he dare not show his whole face to others.

Three horses are galloping in the street market, passers-by seem to be used to it.It is very natural to get out of the way for the horses to pass one by one.

Luo Zichuan clearly realized that the speed of the horse he was riding was far slower than the other two.The left front hoof lands lightly, while the remaining three hooves land heavily.

Through the noisy street market, into a dense forest.Fortunately, there is no fog in the dense forest, and the road is quite flat.Seeing the figures of Bian Yijun and Lu Yunqiu drifting away, he wanted to call them, but the moment he spoke, he stopped.

He is not qualified to slow down the front two.He was unlucky if he picked a bad horse. If he forced others to stop because of bad hoofs, he would be hypocritical.

Luo Zichuan picked up the reins, trying to make the horse go faster.The horse quickened its pace, suddenly stopped, and there was a neighing sound, and it rushed out.Luo Zichuan didn't have time to respond, his body trembled because of the sudden madness of the horse, and he rolled off the horse's back three times.

The wound on Luo Zichuan's body hadn't healed yet, and he rolled off the horse's back again, which can be described as adding injury to injury.Fortunately, he is a martial arts practitioner, has internal strength to protect his body, and can minimize the damage caused by close contact with the earth.

The horse galloped away wildly, Lin Suiyan grabbed its reins quickly.It neighed and stopped obediently.

Lin Suiyan got off his horse, and when he saw the young man crawling on the grass, he was angry and funny.

"How is it? Can you still get up?" Lin Suiyan asked.

A hand appeared in front of him.Looking up along the hand, it is a boy wearing a mask.

Luo Zichuan clasped his fingers on the grass, hoping to support his body with his arms.However, the consequence of this kind of bravado is—falling to the ground again.

"What are you trying to do?" Lin Suiyan shook his slender hands, "Get up?"

Luo Zichuan didn't say a word.

"You want to sleep here?" Lin Suiyan sarcastically hesitated for a moment, "You are a man, you can't expect me to pick you up, can you?"

Luo Zichuan's eyes froze.What did he just... hear?

Luo Zichuan grabbed his hand and got up on his hands and feet, looking extremely embarrassed.Lin Suiyan said with a smile: "So you are so afraid of being hugged, so can I threaten you with this next time?"

Lhotse Chuan is speechless.Of course he is not afraid of "being hugged", he is afraid of "being hugged by the person in front of him"!

Luo Zichuan became more and more certain that this Whip Yijun, an upright and upright man, could imitate a court lady with a whip and whip people, and he must have enough in his heart...perverted!

Lin Suiyan put Luo Zichuan's arm around his neck, and accused him, "There's something wrong with the horse's hoof, don't you feel it?"

Luo Zichuan felt that the corner of Yijun's mouth did not rise this time, and his tone was extremely flat, like a father accusing a child of doing something wrong.

"You already knew?" Luo Zichuan said.

"What are you thinking..." Lin Suiyan frowned and said, "When I was pulling the rein just now, I noticed that its hoof landed unevenly, and it was obvious that the left front hoof was injured. Yunqiu and I didn't pay attention, you are riding on it After walking all the way, don't tell me that I didn't notice this?"

"I noticed..." Luo Zichuan murmured.The words are so soft that normal people can't hear them, but Lin Suiyan is not a "normal person".He turned his head and said, "Then why didn't you say it?"

While speaking, the two had already walked to Lu Yunqiu's side.Luo Zichuan was stunned, not thinking about how to answer this question for a while.He rolled his eyes, changed the subject and said, "What about this horse?"

Luo Zichuan was referring to the horse he was riding just now, which had a problem with its left front hoof.

"Let it go." Lin Sui said, "Let it live and die on its own, it's the best of benevolence."

"My lord, that man is too bad! You gave him so much money, but in the end you sold us a bad horse!" Lu Yunqiu was indignant.

"It's forced by livelihood, and it's a last resort." Lin Suiyan rarely excuses others.

Let go of the horse, now the problem is Luo Zichuan.He is injured, so it's impossible to really run after him, right?

"The place we are going to is extremely remote, son...Brother Chuan! You see, the horse you are riding on is still broad, not as good..." Lu Yunqiu said.

Lin Suiyan's horse was indeed a few fingers longer than Lu Yunqiu's horse.

"You..." "My lord, I..."

The two spoke at the same time.

"Forget it, you... come up?" Lin Suiyan narrowed his eyes.

Luo Zichuan was subconsciously unwilling, but was quickly replaced by other unknown emotions.He lowered his head and said "OK".

With Lin Suiyan's support, Luo Zichuan got on his horse.Lin Suiyan picked up the whip and whipped it, and the horse immediately ran.

Luo Zichuan's limbs were stiff, his eyes swept the ground, and he tried to minimize his physical contact with Bian Yijun.The result can be said to be of no avail.Under the urging of the soft whip, the horse galloped with four hooves.In order to prevent falling off the horse's back again, he subconsciously touched the reins, but the first thing that touched his skin was the cloth covering Yijun's slender waist.

Luo Zichuan paused, his face turned extremely red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Mr. Chen, be careful, don't fall down again." Lin Sui said.The voice was not too loud, just in time for Luo Zichuan to hear it.

8. Que Yu

◎It was also due to Lin's previous good deeds. ◎

Luo Zichuan didn't know where Lin Suiyan was going, but it seemed that he couldn't get there within a day.Seeing that dusk was approaching, the three found an inn to stay.

There are many businessmen in the past, so the inn is not difficult to find.The innkeeper greeted him with a smile.He has beards, kind eyebrows, and he is about 40 to [-] years old, with silvery white at the root of his temples.

Lu Yunqiu gave the money.The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Three upstairs, please."

Luo Zichuan looked around the environment inside the house.There were only a few people, and some of them gathered around the wooden table to enjoy meals.

Luo Zichuan walked up the stairs, looking up and down the room where he planned to spend the night.The furnishings in the house can be said to be very simple, and there is a vague atmosphere of book fragrance.Thinking about it, Lin Suiyan would not let him live in a shabby house.

He hasn't had dinner yet, but he isn't hungry at all.Simply tidy up and lie on the bed to rest.

Suddenly, Luo Zichuan heard a slight knock on the door.Startled suddenly, he grabbed the sword beside him.By the way, Lin Suiyan returned the sword he snatched from the imperial soldiers.

Lu Yunqiu pushed open the door and said cautiously, "Brother Zichuan, let's go downstairs for dinner!"

Luo Zichuan half-closed his eyes, "I'm not hungry." He responded.

Lu Yunqiu scratched his head, said "OK" for a while, closed the door and backed out.

Luo Zichuan who was disturbed in his sleep was very upset, but Lu Yunqiu was also kind.Give up the idea of ​​taking a short nap, sit cross-legged by the bed, and meditate.

Luo Zichuan folded his hands in front of his abdomen, gently closed his eyes, the sound outside the room gradually weakened, and finally there was silence.He felt his soul float to another world, and felt the internal force in his body surge little by little.

The sun goes down and night comes.The people in the inn returned to the house one after another.At the same time, the innkeeper looked through the ledger in the room.

The flickering candles add eerie to the quiet room.Three or five masked men climbed into the room along the window frame.The shopkeeper flicked his hands and raised his head vigilantly, "Who?"

The other party did not speak, and several people lined up in a row, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.

The leader looked at it for a moment, stepped forward, glanced at the paper that the shopkeeper was pinching with two fingers, and said sarcastically, "It's a lot of money."

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat off his face, and said timidly: "Hero, hero, I have an old man and a young man. There are still a lot of people waiting for me to support, can you wait..."

"Wait? I'll count to three. If you don't want this inn to be destroyed, hand over the money quickly!"

The shopkeeper didn't say a word, and seemed very embarrassed.

"three……"

"two……"

Suddenly, the shopkeeper stomped his feet.The door was pushed open, and a group of people rushed in.Those people were all tall and burly, with fierce eyebrows and eyes, and seemed extremely difficult to mess with.

"Okay... I learned how to move rescuers! Fight!"

The two groups fought together.But after all, they are not serious martial arts people, and even fights use illegal means.This one was kicked, that one was smashed with a fist, it was a mess.

Suddenly one person snorted and cursed angrily: "Fuck it, get out!"

The group really followed the instructions, quickly slapped the ground, and rushed towards the nearest wooden door.

They went on a rampage, followed by chasing after them, they simply broke the jar and broke into the room in the corner.

Luo Zichuan opened his eyes suddenly, but saw two groups of people rushing into the house one after the other.

The leader had an idea, rushed over and grabbed Luo Zichuan's throat with his rough palm. "do not move!"

"Hey, you don't want to kill people on your territory, do you?"

Luo Zichuan felt that he had been out of luck recently.He took a deep breath, "Let me go."

"Heh, boy, today is your bad luck!"

"Get someone to evacuate." He yelled at the shopkeeper.

There are indeed a lot of people here, and there must be more than one inn.People are willing to come and live here, in addition to the good feng shui, the price is good, and the family background of the shopkeeper is clean, so ordinary people and martial arts people can feel at ease.

Seeing the man grabbing Luo Zichuan's throat and retreating to the side.He looked around, saw that the door was still far from where they were, and set his eyes on the half-open window.

Step by step, he retreated to the window frame.

"Let me go..." Luo Zichuan said with difficulty.

"Don't worry, I have to lose money for raising you. When I get to a safe place, I will naturally let you go."

Just as the group of people stood still in front of the window, a whip suddenly came over.He struck the back of his pinching hand impartially, leaving a terrifying scar immediately.He hurriedly let go, cursed, opened the window and flew out.

"There's no need to chase." Luo Zichuan rubbed his neck and said, "Their internal strength is very strong, and their lightness kung fu is definitely not bad. They probably have run far away by now."

Everyone went back angrily.Only the shopkeeper lowered his head and looked at Luo Zichuan apologetically.

"I'm sorry, my lord, I frightened you." He said.

This person has delicate features and neat clothes, no matter how you look at it, he is dressed like a son of a famous family.When encountering this kind of thing, he would either yell at the innkeeper, or become paranoid and frightened for a long time.

Just when the shopkeeper thought that Luo Zichuan wanted compensation, he turned his gaze to another boy wearing a mask, "What is the reason for these people?"

"My lord, do you know that there is a martial arts sect in Jianghu called 'Que Yuling'?"

Luo Zichuan's eyes wandered, searching for the name of this sect in his mind, and finally shook his head resignedly.But Bian Yijun looked calm: "This place is still some distance away from Que Yuling. Why doesn't Que Chen stay on the mountain to stop people from stealing money, and is going to go door to door asking for money?"

"Hey, this young master doesn't know something—" the shopkeeper took a deep breath.

"Long-term wars and frequent changes of martial arts sects, and the sect stationed here is the 'Que Yuling'. Occupying the mountains as king, robbing passing caravans. Everything must be moderate, but the head of the sect, Que Chen, seems to have fallen into the eyes of money. Passing merchants took their goods, but never pulled them out completely. The mountains and mountains are winding, this is an important place, and it is the only way to pass. But he made such a fuss, everyone even took a long detour and delayed For three or four days, I don’t want to go to Shanling.”

"Later, the number of merchants gradually decreased. Apart from robbing caravans to make money and squandering money, the people in Que Yuling really had nothing else to do. These days, they go to the vicinity of Que Yuling to blatantly ask for money. There are old and young, and I earn so little The money not only needs to repay foreign debts, but also supports the family. Where can I raise money for him? I hired those people just now. In fact, there are not many people who can beat them except for their scary looks. Hey! My son, I really didn’t expect that I'm really sorry that the people from Que Yuling frightened this young master."

"There's no need to apologize." Luo Zichuan said, "It's getting late, you can go back and rest."

"Hey! Young Master!" The shopkeeper responded.

Watching the shopkeeper go, Lin Suiyan's eyes drifted away, and just about to lift his foot, Luo Zichuan shouted: "You... wait."

Lin Suiyan turned his head and said with a half smile but not a smile: "Is this tone a bit bad, huh?"

"Bian Yijun, I have something to ask you." Luo Zichuan squeezed the words through his teeth.

"Well, ask." Lin Suiyan smiled.

"You...do you think the shopkeeper's words are credible?"

"Ten?" Lin Suiyan squinted and said with a smile.

"But there is doubt in the words." Luo Zichuan murmured.

"What doubt?" Lin Sui said.

"There are many merchants here, much more than the individual passing merchants who robbed in the deep mountains and old forests. Why do so many rich people not rob, but go to search for the money of the innkeeper who is not rich?"

The corner of Lin Suiyan's mouth curled up, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's very simple. It's like, would you rob five people in an unknown mountain, or would you rob ten people in public?"

Luo Zichuan lowered his eyes and murmured, "I won't rob others."

"But Que Chen is not you. If you have less money, what's not worth it in exchange for Ping An? He knows that the innkeeper's family is not rich and his connections are not extensive, so he dared to ask him for money directly."

"There are so many people in the inn, there might be some martial arts fighters fighting for justice. They dare not enter through the main entrance with great fanfare, because they are afraid of being beaten out by those righteous people." Lin Suiyan said.

"Oh." Luo Zichuan perfunctory.

Lin Suiyan was silent for a moment, and said: "You are very smart, but you have too little experience, and you don't have the ability to dig out and bear greater facts."

"I know." Luo Zichuan said without hesitation, "I grew up in Yunchuan Valley, and I have never left the valley for ten years, and I know nothing about the outside world. It is an honor for Chen to meet Mr. Bianyi. "

"You and I have different backgrounds, different beliefs, and different ways of doing things, but we are fortunate to be friends on the long and slow journey of each other. It is really destined." Lin Sui said.

"Being able to become a friend of a gentleman like Bian Yijun, who is both civil and military, is really due to Chen's good deeds in his previous life." Luo Zichuan.

The corners of Lin Suiyan's bright red mouth curled up again, and his long eyebrows raised lightly, "It's also due to Lin's previous good deeds." After finishing speaking, he lifted his black boots and left the room.

Luo Zichuan narrowed his eyes.He just heard that Mr. Yi Yi called himself "Lin"?

Luo Zichuan is a very detailed person.Although he is a man, he has a very thin heart.So far, it seems that although the whip Yijun can only play tricks, he must be feared by the imperial army.And no one knows his name, he has always been called by his name.What does it mean to easily tell Luo Zichuan that his surname is "Lin" now?

The more Luo Zichuan thought about it, the more he couldn't fall asleep.

He knew so much about himself, about his mother and father, that his background must have been difficult.Luo Zichuan ran through all the people with the surname "Lin" in his mind, and suddenly a name popped up in his mind for no reason—Lin Shuo

Luo Zichuan's heart trembled, and he dismissed the idea immediately.There are so many people with the surname Lin in the world, why do you identify someone's parents based on just one surname?But apart from the great general Lin Shuo, Luo Zichuan couldn't think of anyone else with the surname "Lin".

Luo Zichuan couldn't sleep, so he had to lean on the side of the bed and watch the sky.The starry sky tonight is really beautiful, and the bright moonlight shines on the boundless land.Luo Zichuan half-closed his eyes, and leaned on it till dawn.

9. Memories

◎Nevertheless, I don't hate them. ◎

The next day, the three continued to ride on horseback.

Luo Zichuan wasn't too sleepy because he didn't sleep all night.Youth is young, even if you stay up all night for two consecutive nights, you still have the energy to go out and jump.

The sun was in the sky, and Bian Yijun sat in front of the horse.For the first time, Luo Zichuan felt that this was quite good—someone helped to shade the sun.

Lu Yunqiu wiped his sweat, turned his head and said, "My lord, let's take a rest first."

Lin Suiyan squinted his eyes, his long and narrow eyes were really pretty.He smiled and said, "Okay. Just let the horse rest."

There are mountains and water here, but it is a place with excellent scenery for sightseeing.Lin Suiyan carried the kettle and went to the nearby stream to scoop a pot.The clear spring water enters the abdomen, refreshing and quenching thirst.

The mask covered most of the sunlight, but Lin Suiyan felt uncomfortable wearing the mask.He hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take off the mask, blinked his red phoenix eyes twice, and covered the direct sunlight with his slender hands.

At the same time, Luo Zichuan was perched under a tree.He has no resistance to sunlight.Coupled with the lack of sleep last night, my eyelids began to doze off.

Lu Yunqiu patted his clothes, and found a shade to lie down halfway, enjoying the strong sunlight.

Luo Zichuan raised his half-drooped eyelids, turned his head to Lu Yunqiu and said, "Brother Yunqiu?"

Lu Yunqiu's body trembled instinctively, and he turned his head half-stiffly, showing a surprised expression.

Luo Zichuan smiled and said, "Brother Yunqiu, I have something to ask."

After a few days of getting along.Luo Zichuan knew that Lu Yunqiu was upright and honest, and he was not good at lying.As long as it's not a big deal, if you ask him, he will always answer truthfully.

Lu Yunqiu: "Please tell me."

Luo Zichuan hesitated for a moment, pursed his lips, and said, "How long have we been walking?"

"Probably two or three days..." Lu Yunqiu was thinking.

"Yes, it has indeed been two or three days." Luo Zichuan said: "We traveled south along the road and rode fast horses, but we couldn't arrive within two or three days. Brother Yunqiu, please tell us where we are going so that Zi Chuan has an idea in mind."

Lu Yunqiu bowed his head and snapped his fingers, "Young Master, this trip is to visit an old friend."

"Old friend?" Luo Zichuan asked, "Friend? Subordinate? Brother? Or... parents?"

"It's the son's father." Lu Yunqiu said.

"This man's surname is Lin, and his name is Shuo." Lu Yunqiu sighed and said, "Speaking of which, he has a close relationship with your mother. Ling Tang Su Qing is a disciple of Fengyue Tower, and was once distributed among the people by General Lin Shuo in the early years. Jianghu forces. Later, when time passed, General Lin Shuo died and was buried in the place where he was killed. The young master travels thousands of miles every year to come to pay his respects."

"Bian Yijun, is he Lin Shuo's son?" Luo Zichuan asked.

"That's right. To tell you the truth, Brother Zichuan, my son's real name is 'Lin Suiyan'." Lu Yunqiu said.

"Lin Suiyan?" Luo Zichuan murmured.

From what Lu Yunqiu said, hurry up and probably arrive tomorrow.The place where General Lin Shuo's bones are buried is really remote, and the place where he is now is also very desolate.Unlike last night, there is not a single inn here, and there are very few people passing by. Occasionally, a few homeless vagrants humming folk songs, holding wine pots, and wandering past.

Lu Yunqiu brought a pile of firewood from nowhere, scattered them on the ground, and lit a fire.The flames were burning "popping", bringing a little warmth to the cold autumn night.

Luo Zichuan sat with his legs curled up, enjoying the warmth of the moment, when he suddenly saw a young man walking with his hands behind his back.Lin Suiyan put the mask back on, and it stood out against the flames.

"What are you thinking?" Lin Sui said.

Luo Zichuan said, "I wonder where you are going."

Luo Zichuan was not the kind of person who didn't understand the truth.Even though he looked down on Mr. Bian Yi very much when he first met, but after all he was the one who took care of him when he was desperate, and took care of food and shelter.

The corner of Lin Suiyan's mouth curled up, "Didn't Lu Yunqiu tell you?"

Luo Zichuan paused.

"You... eavesdropping?" Luo Zichuan asked.

"It doesn't count." Lin Sui said, "The only thing to blame is you and Yunqiu talking too loudly."

Luo Zichuan said "Oh" in a calm manner.

"Actually, you should always know about this, whether it is told by others or witnessed with your own eyes." The flames blazed, and the faces of the two teenagers glowed red.

Luo Zichuan didn't say a word.His gaze stayed on the fire, and he said after a while: "Do you come to worship every year?"

"Yes." Lin Suiyan replied: "He is my father, as a son, shouldn't he be worshiped every year?"

"Where's your mother?" Luo Zichuan asked.

"My mother... my birthday is my mother's memorial day. The fortune-teller said I was 'fated to be an orphan'. I killed my mother when I was born, and then killed my father and the soldiers."

"No one knows where my mother's bones are buried, but she gave birth to me and died." Lin Suiyan's eyes darkened.

"My father is a defecting general. He used his own life and the lives of several soldiers to protect me. As far as I can remember, I have never experienced the love of my parents. On the contrary, I have to bear the infamy and pain they brought me..."

"Even so, I don't hate them." Lin Suiyan looked into the distance, saw the boundless land and the dark night, and fell into thought.

At that time, a three or four-year-old child was lying on the bed, shrinking his small body into a ball.There was a thick quilt on her body, but her hands and feet were as cold as ice.

Outside the tent, two men stood facing each other.One of them has sword eyebrows and star eyes, is dressed in armor, and is majestic.And the other brow unconsciously revealed a murderous look.

"General, this is the best chance to escape. Are you really going to give up the lives of your brothers and half of the country for such a three or four-year-old brat!"

The person on the opposite side shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't want to do that. Yan'er is still young, I can't leave him in the barren mountains and let him fend for himself."

"What about us?"

Lin Shuo said: "Ah Yuan, these brothers are close friends, I can't let them down. Ke Yan'er is my son, I promised his mother to keep him safe forever, why don't you ask me to ignore him? regardless of!"

"General!" Xu Yuan was a little annoyed, "It's hard to say, you won half of the country, and you can be equal to the emperor from now on. What kind of woman do you want? You like children, just want more! You have to know how to choose! "

"Ayuan!" Lin Shuo roared.

The child on the bed turned over and muttered "Daddy" uncomfortably.The soft and waxy voice makes people feel that they are going to be a little softer, but Xu Yuan doesn't like this.He picked up the broad knife, "Since your father can't bear to kill you, then I'll make an end to you bastard!"

Suddenly, the blade was about to pierce Lin Suiyan's skin.The sound of weapons colliding was endless, and the next moment, Xu Yuan's knife fell to the ground.

"General!" Xu Yuan said angrily.

Suddenly he stomped his feet and left without looking back.

Lin Shuo let out a long sigh.Lin Suiyan blinked his watery eyes and said, "Father, is it because of me..."

He wanted to ask, was it because of me that you fought with Uncle Xu?

Lin Shuo reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "It's not you, it's none of Yan'er's business."

"But Uncle Xu really doesn't seem to like me..." Lin Suiyan murmured, and suddenly made up his mind, "Father, if you want to, leave me alone."

Lin Shuo was slightly surprised, "Do you know what will happen if you are left here alone?"

Lin Suiyan took a deep breath and said without fear of death: "If I can let my father and innocent people live a good life, I am willing!"

I don't know what magic power there is in these words.Lin Shuo was startled for a moment, then ran over and hugged him, saying incessantly, "What a good boy... What a sensible child..."

It was late at night.Lin Shuo walked out of the military tent with his hands behind his back.Nearly a hundred soldiers lined up neatly in a row, each with weapons in their hands.

A soldier was the first to speak: "General, the east, west, and north are all surrounded by heavy imperial troops, and there is only one way out to the south. At this time, hurry up and maybe we can break away from the emperor's control and completely open up a world!"

"General, if you don't make good use of this opportunity, we will all die here!"

"Everyone." Lin Shuo said: "You and I have had close friends. It's just that the high fever will not subside, and the marching speed will be slowed down. It is better to take Xu Yuan as the leader and open up a road first. I agree with you. Rest for a while, and then catch up with you.”

"General, think twice!"

"General, don't lose the big because of the small! Although the young master is smart since childhood, if..."

"That's the deal." Lin Shuo said mercilessly.

The night was very cold, and Lin Shuo sat alone out of the reach of the fire.The wind blew through his armor, and his eyes were deep.

Inadvertently, a person approached slowly.Lin Shuo raised his head slightly and called out, "Ayuan."

Xu Yuan sighed, "General, do you really want to do this? Are you really going to give up these brothers who have been with you through thick and thin, and half of the country for a child?"

"Ayuan, do you know what Yan'er said to me just now?" Lin Shuo said, "In order not to slow down our marching speed and let me and innocent people live a good life, he wants me to ignore him, and wants me to He was abandoned in this barren mountain."

"I am his father, how can I let my son..." Lin Shuo
