Nalan Zhenbang smiled bitterly and sighed, "Once you will succeed, you want to climb to the top of the mountain, but you don't want to lose a little, how can there be such a good thing in this world, with your experience and current status, you won't not understand such a simple truth, right?"

"People like you are born into wealthy families, and the people you see and hear are all high-ranking people, so you naturally regard others as ants. But I'm different, I'm an ant myself, and many of my friends, brothers, and relatives are ants in your eyes, and you don't understand what they mean to me."

Nalan Zhenbang thought about it carefully and nodded approvingly, "Maybe I can't empathize, but I can understand it somewhat."

"However, since you have gone out of the mountain and chosen this road, you should be mentally prepared, if you can't accept it, you shouldn't come to Tianjing, and after the incident in Jiangzhou, you should go back to Mazui Village."

Lu Shanmin smiled, "Can you go back?"

Nalan Zhenbang nodded slightly, "That's right, if you can run, the monk can't run the temple, unless you can ignore your brothers and friends and let them destroy themselves, otherwise there are many ways to force you out." You're a lot like your dad about that."

Saying that, he turned his head and looked at Lu Shanmin suspiciously, "But it's not quite like it at all, you don't seem to put your parents' hatred in the first place, for you, you obviously care more about the living." ”

"I'm also very surprised, there are rumors outside that the father-son relationship between you and Nalan Ziran is very weak, I didn't expect you to intercede for him."

Nalan Zhenbang smiled bitterly, was silent for a moment, and said calmly: "As a son, I disappointed the old man, as a father, I disappointed my son, as the son and grandson of the Nalan family, I disappointed the entire Nalan family, and there will always be some regrets in my conscience."

"So you want to do something to make up for it?" Lu Shanmin smiled coldly.

"Zi is not the fault of his godfather, Zi Ran's current situation is worse than death, if you really can't get over that hurdle, come to me. You don't have to do it, as long as you say a word, you can see me on the news tomorrow."

Lu Shanmin subconsciously turned his head to look at Nalan Zhenbang, his face was very calm, as if he was talking about a very trivial matter.

"You think you saved me, I don't dare to do anything to you"?

Nalan Zhenbang smiled, "Maybe Zijian has such a calculation, but I really don't care."

Lu Shanmin turned his head, and at this moment, he was inexplicably a little jealous of Nalan Ziran.

"Do you think that if you do this, Nalan Ziran will appreciate it? I'm sure that he hates the Nalan family more now than he hates me."

"People always have to learn to grow by themselves, and the truth can only be profound when they summarize it themselves, not to mention, I don't expect Ziran to understand me."

"Hehe," Lu Shanmin smiled coldly, "What a great father."

Nalan Zhenbang smiled, "When you become a father, you will understand, the four words "father's love is like a mountain" are not obtained for no reason."

"I, Lu Shanmin, have not been carried away by hatred, and I have not yet made it to attack an old man who has no power to fight back, not to mention that you are not qualified to carry it for others."

"Mountain people," Nalan Zhenbang's heart shook violently.

"Don't be so affectionate, I'm not familiar with you." said lightly: "You are far from knowing me as Nalan Zijian, even if he makes such an arrangement, I will not embarrass Nalan Ziran anymore, since he."

I am willing to carry it, and I also think it is most appropriate for him to carry it."

Nalan Zhenbang breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, another worry rose.

"Zijian's temperament, you should know that even the people of the Nalan family are in his calculations. Actually, come to think of it, he's pretty good to you. I can see that he doesn't really want to get out of hand with you."

Lu Shanmin looked at Nalan Zhenbang's concerned eyes, this concern was not for Nalan Zijian, but for him. It is a fortunate thing for someone to care about themselves, but Lu Shanmin is the opposite in his heart, not only is he not the slightest happy, but he has an inexplicable anger.

"You're too lenient."

Nalan Zhenbang turned his head, he could understand Lu Shanmin's state of mind at the moment, and he didn't bother himself anymore. After a moment of silence, he said lightly: "Zijian's education since childhood has been greatly influenced by me, he is the smartest child I have ever seen, he reads books and never forgets, his insights are unique and profound, as early as when he was a few years old, I knew that he was a genius in Tianzhong, so I deliberately guided him." People who delve into knowledge often have two extremes, one is that the more they learn, the more they feel that they can't finish learning, and then rack their brains for the rest of their lives and can't extricate themselves, which is also the most common scholar. The other is that you are too smart, you understand it as soon as you learn, and then you start to learn it to the end, and then you start to verify, you start to doubt, and you start trying to create something new in a pioneering way."

Zijian belonged to the latter group, he studied both Chinese and Western before the age of eighteen, and because he learned more thoroughly than ordinary people, he firmly believed in the words in the book and the teachings of the sages. But when he gradually realized that the world was not like this, he became angry, he doubted, and even began to stop believing it."

Lu Shanmin smiled lightly, "This is also a thorough study, I think he is the opposite, he has not learned at all."

Nalan Zhenbang frowned slightly, and then smiled, "I've been thinking about the reason, but I didn't expect to be thoroughly explained by you."

"Everyone has an angel and a devil living in their hearts, and Zijian is the same, although he doesn't believe everything he learns in books, but what he learns is always in his mind, and from time to time unconsciously confirms the world. Nalan Zhenbang paused as he spoke, "And Ye Zixuan is such a person." There is another person, Liu Ni next to you, I believe you should know that she is Zijian's own sister."

Lu Shanmin frowned slightly, "She is my sister."

Nalan Zhenbang smiled, "Zijian doesn't have any weaknesses, if anything, these two people may be his weaknesses."

Lu Shanmin looked at Nalan Zhenbang in a daze, and Nalan Zhenbang smiled lightly, "You may have always thought that Zijian was using these two people to contain you, but in fact, you think the other way around, why can't you use these two people to contain him."

Lu Shanmin turned his head and smiled faintly, "The people of the Nalan family are really strange."

"There's nothing strange about it", Nalan Zhenbang looked at Lu Shanmin's side face lightly, and muttered, "It's really similar."

The sound of music after class sounded on the campus, and the students poured out of the classroom with their books in their arms, and the road was lively, these young students were not much younger than Lu Shanmin, but the smiles on their faces were much cleaner and more natural, and they were all smiles from the heart. Once upon a time, he was also like this, seeing them, I couldn't help but think of my former self, although I had a hard time at that time, but my smile was not much different from them.

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and you need not envy them."

"You know them well"

？

"I'm a university professor, I've been teaching for more than 20 years, and I'm getting wrinkles all over my face day by day, but what I see is always the same youthful and beautiful face."

Lu Shanmin retracted his gaze, "The Tian family also received a letter back then."

"Well, Zijian also asked me the same question, but after so many years, I really can't figure out who sent it." "By the way, there is another thing I think I need to tell you is that your mother was seriously injured before she gave birth to you."

Lu Shanmin's head buzzed, and he subconsciously asked, looking at Nalan Zhenbang in disbelief, "She has been seriously injured, why does my father still take us out on a trip?"

"I don't know the specific situation, probably because your mother wants to get rid of the worldly distractions and enjoy the happiness of the family when your mother is dying, but I didn't expect 、、、hey."

Later, Lu Shanmin knew that it would not have been, and Gaochang's temporary rebellion became the last straw that crushed the camel.

"How much is the Nalan family involved"?

"The old man hid it from me back then, and I didn't know much, and then I also questioned the old man, and he didn't tell me in detail, I probably only knew that someone did contact the Nalan family back then, and your grandfather happened to be in Tianjing at that time, and the old man deliberately released the news that he was going to attack your grandfather, confusing Daoyi and Huang Jingang and being forced to stay in Tianjing. You know what happened after that, your family of three was attacked, and the Nalan family had already prepared in advance, contacted the Xue family in Jiangzhou, and the Jin family in Tianjing, and quickly acquired and carved up your family's property."

Nalan Zhenbang had a faint sadness on his face, "So it's not wrong for you to settle the account on the head of the Nalan family."

Lu Shanmin had a strong hatred in his eyes, and after a long time, he muttered: "I once asked the old god Huang Jiujin's father about it, but he didn't say a word, and I also inquired when I came to Tianjing, and I knew that his name was Huang Mian and he had been by my father's side, what was he doing at that time?"

Nalan Zhenbang shook his head, "This is also a question I can't figure out, since the night your mother was injured, this person has evaporated from the world and has never appeared again."

"Who is the person who contacted Nalan Wenruo"?

"I call him Shadow, the shadow who has been hiding in the shadows, how can it be so easy to know who it is." Nalan Zhenbang shook his head gently.

"You have been investigating silently for so many years, don't you have any clues"?

Nalan Zhenbang shook his head again, "Several major families in Tianjing have suspected it, but there is no clue at all. Don't you have the feeling that the more you investigate, the more you look like a shadow."

"Which one do you think is the most suspicious"?

"It's best for you to judge this kind of thing, after I say it, it will affect your judgment, true or false, maybe the most unlikely is the most likely, or maybe we have gone into a misunderstanding, they are not, who can say clearly."

Lu Shanmin looked ahead, and was not too disappointed, he had a faint feeling that the shadow was getting closer and closer.

"What you told me today, does Nalan Zijian know about it?"

Nalan Zhenbang nodded, "I know it, and I have a hunch that he seems to have discovered something."

Lu Shanmin didn't ask any more questions, his eyes suddenly became sharp, "I hope what you said is right, Zixuan is his weakness."
