Chapter 498: Xingyuan Passes Away

After that Continental Elite Competition, Chen Xingyuan and Lin Wenshu graduated and left school, and after each had different experiences, they finally returned to the family one after another and became the heads of the Chen and Lin families. For the sake of the interests of their respective families, the two people who were once like brothers gradually turned against each other, until they came to the current situation of not dying, which is really a trick!

"Wen Shu, may in the next life, you and I will no longer be the head of the family!" Chen Xingyuan said with difficulty, blood flowed out of his fingers, and he couldn't stop it, and Chen Xingyuan's vitality continued to disappear with the passage of blood.

"The head of the family!" Seeing that Chen Xingyuan was killed, the Chen family rushed up desperately to find Lin Wenshu for revenge, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court immediately stopped it, but to no avail! The few remaining members of the Lin family had already come behind Lin Wenshu, tense and ready to fight hard at any time!

"Stand down!" Chen Xingyuan roared, a stream of blood spurted out, and Lin Wenshu immediately stepped forward and supported the crumbling Chen Xingyuan.

Chen Xingyuan glared angrily at the Chen family who came up, although the Chen family was sad and angry, they did not dare to disobey the order of the head of the family, and they stopped unexpectedly and did not step forward.

"Xingyuan, I'm sorry!" Lin Wenshu said in a low voice, if he hadn't had to, how could he have done this to his former brother. The reason why the Lin family repeatedly gave in to the competition with the Chen family was because Lin Wenshu was afraid of the old relationship with Chen Xingyuan and was unwilling to clash with him head-on, so he sat back and watched the Chen family's influence in the imperial court and even the entire Jiangnan increasing. It's just that he didn't expect that Lin Wenshu's concession did not exchange for Chen Xingyuan's understanding, but instead pressed step by step, and today he personally led someone to kill him.

"Wenshu, I don't blame you, it's my ambition that hurts me! I know that you have been putting up with me, but the more you put up with me, the more I get angry, and even hate you! Your indifference makes me feel deeply inferior, making me think that I am inferior to you, so I want to surpass you even more, so I am in the current ending! That's it, people are dying, they can die in your hands, even if I repay all the sins I committed against you and the Lin family, I should say that I am sorry, and it is I who destroyed the brotherhood between us. Chen Xingyuan said with difficulty.

"Xingyuan, some things are not wrong with you and me, but as the head of the family, I can't help myself, after you die, I will try my best to keep your bloodline. Lin Wenshu said bitterly, he knew what Chen Xingyuan's death would be, what the Chen family would face, and it was impossible for Lin Wenshu to stop it. Because this is an opportunity for the Lin family to rise again and become more powerful, even if he will give up, the entire Lin family will not agree. Similarly, if the person who died today was him Lin Wenshu, the final outcome of the Lin family would be very miserable.

Chen Xingyuan nodded silently, the brilliance in his eyes was dissipating, and finally said with emotion: "In this life, it's so lonely!"

Lin Wenshu, who is also the head of the family, understands Chen Xingyuan's mood very well at the moment, don't look at them on weekdays, but they don't even have a friend who can speak to their hearts! They have to bear the responsibility of the family, they have to bear all the pressure, the height is unbearable, and they are not immersive, who can experience the taste?

Lin Wenshu said gloomily: "The ancient sages are all lonely, and only the drinkers leave their names. In the future, I will often take time to visit you and drink and chat with you. If we didn't become the head of the family, wouldn't we have to be so lonely!"

"Wenshu, thank you. We didn't drink enough wine before we died, and we must help me make up for it at the grave after we die! At this moment, I finally understand why I always lose to you!" Chen Xingyuan's eyes suddenly regained their brilliance, and Lin Wenshu knew that this was the last glimmer of brilliance in his life.

"Because you have deviated from the original intention of a martial artist, and are addicted to the intrigue of officialdom and the competition for fame and fortune in the rivers and lakes, practicing martial arts has become a tool for you to pursue fame and fortune, and your pursuit of martial arts is not as pious as mine. Lin Wenshu said lightly.

Chen Xingyuan's eyes suddenly widened, looked at Lin Wenshu in surprise, and said in a daze: "Wenshu, you still understand it, don't forget your original intention, I am really inferior to you in martial arts." It's a pity I got it too late!"

"It's not that you understand too late, it's that you've been deceiving yourself all along, and you don't want to understand!" Lin Wenshu said calmly, he had already felt Chen Xingyuan's body slowly become stiff, and his last trace of vitality began to dissipate.

"If I could go back to the past, I would never choose to be the head of the family again!" Chen Xingyuan straightened up, and there was endless sadness in his eyes.

Lin Wenshu looked at his former brothers who were about to be separated forever, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't bear to make a sound.

Chen Xingyuan sighed: "In the first half of my life, I had nothing, but I lived a full and happy life, and in the second half of my life, I was powerful and powerful, but I became empty and lonely, in this life, what am I living for?"

Lin Wenshu was speechless because he also had the same doubts.

"I'm so tired! I want to sleep for a while. Chen Xingyuan groaned, his hands suddenly hung down softly, his eyes were open but not closed, his mouth and nose were completely empty, only the bright red blood with warm breath was still flowing out.

The head of the Chen family, Chen Xingyuan, who was surprised by Jiangnan, passed away.

"Take your master with you. Lin Wenshu gently placed Chen Xingyuan's body on the ground, looked sad, and said to the Chen family. Even though Lin Wenshu had 10,000 reasons to kill Chen Xingyuan, he still couldn't let go of killing his former brother personally.

Some people in the Chen family refused to give up, and roared and rushed to Lin Wenshu, wanting to avenge the head of the family, but they were stopped by several elders at the same time. These elders are all veterans who have gone through vicissitudes of life, and they naturally understand the truth of judging the situation and sizing up the situation. Now that the head of the family is dead, the army of the imperial court is eyeing the sidelines, if you act rashly, can you kill Lin Wenshu or not, it will definitely completely offend the imperial court, once the imperial court uses this as an excuse to fall into the ground for the Chen family, the Chen family's status in Jiangnan will be lost immediately!

Don't look at the fact that the imperial court has been at the mercy of the Chen family before, but it has not touched their fundamental interests, and the imperial court needs the strength of the Chen family, so it has been forbearing. If the Chen family reaches the convergence that they don't understand now, by the time the imperial court raises the butcher's knife, it will be too late!

"Let's go!" said the Supreme Elder of the Chen family sternly, not allowing anyone to object. Seeing that the old ancestor spoke, the Chen family took the body of the head of the family and left in silence, and the Taishang Elder stood until the end, looking at Lin Wenshu with a complicated expression.

Although Lin Wenshu felt guilty about killing Chen Xingyuan, he didn't have any guilt towards the Chen family, and looked at him openly in his heart.

The Supreme Elder of the Chen family wanted to make a move several times, Chen Xingyuan was the one he grew up watching, and he was his own nephew, this revenge was not revenged, and the hatred in his heart was not settled! However, he finally held back and did not make a move. He knew in his heart that at this moment, compared with revenge, how to keep the Chen family was the top priority he had to solve!

The plan to eliminate the Lin family unexpectedly failed, and the Chen family will inevitably face backlash from all sides, and it is really difficult to say whether they can survive safely.

"Chen Lin's situation in the world for half a day is likely to be rewritten from today onwards, if, I mean, if the Chen family suffers a great change, please keep the promise to Xingyuan and keep his bloodline, the old man is here to thank you!" Before leaving, the Taishang elder of the Chen family actually bowed to Lin Wenshu and said very respectfully, because he knew that he was leaving a fire and a hope for the Chen family.

"This is what I promised Xingyuan, no matter what, we used to be brothers, people die like lights going out, and disasters don't happen to our families, the Lin family will definitely do their best." Lin Wenshu said calmly, he was talking about the Lin family, not himself, and this promise was not insignificant.

The Supreme Elder of the Chen family saluted the head of the Lin family again, and his hands hidden in his long sleeves were clenched into fists tightly, his green tendons bulged out, and his joints turned pale! For this old man, bowing his head to the enemy family was a great shame, but in order for the Chen family to continue, he had to lower his noble head!

"You go, I know you're not feeling good. Today's attack on our Lin family with great fanfare, presumably the matter of the Chen family joining the shadow can no longer be hidden, and the imperial court will definitely suppress your Chen family in an all-round way, so let's go back and prepare early!" Lin Wenshu gave an order to evict guests and said coldly.

The elder of the Chen family showed his hands from his long sleeves, clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted again: "I sincerely thank the head of the Lin family, Chen said goodbye!" This time, he sincerely thanked him, as an opponent of the generational competition, Lin Wenshu can do this job, it is really benevolent and righteous, what else does he have to say?

The Supreme Elder of the Chen family finally left, and he was sad and worried!

Lin Wenshu sent the Chen family away, and after a long time, he said outside: "Since you are here, please come in, I really want to know who is helping our Lin family." ”

A hearty laugh came from outside, and a young man walked into the Lin family ancestral hall surrounded by a group of masters in the court.

Seeing this person, Lin Wenshu immediately understood that he was the one who ordered the Yingtian Empire to protect the Lin family and send troops to force the Chen family away.

"I hope that the Lin family will be able to help the imperial court with all their strength in the future, and don't follow the Chen family's wolf ambition!" the young man said with a smile, not lacking a warning.

"The Lin family is the Lin family under the rule of the Yingtian Empire, the empire will not fall, and the Lin family will not be destroyed. Lin Wenshu replied, "The big river has water and the small river is full, and the big river has no water and the small river is dry, Lin still understands this truth." ”

The young man nodded to Lin Wenshu and said, "The head of the Lin family really understands people, since we have already met, I think there are still many things to deal with when I come to the Lin family, and I will go back to resume my life in the future, so don't pass it over." ”

The two met in a hurry, and in just a few words, they released a lot of information to each other. The young man got the support of the Lin family and returned satisfied, and the Lin family also understood the intentions of the imperial court, and the Zhao royal family wanted to train this young man as a successor, so in terms of their attitude towards the Chen and Lin families, they respected the young man's choice, so they would send troops at the most critical moment to protect the Lin family.

The reason why Lin Wenshu chose to lean towards the imperial court was not only because the imperial court saved the Lin family, but also because he had learned about this young man, this young man was Zhao Boyuan, who shined in the continental elite competition and helped the Yingtian Empire win back a lot of face!

Learning from others' strengths, Zhiyuan has a heavy responsibility, such young talents are the hope of the empire, and only by cooperating with such people can the Lin family prosper. Therefore, after Lin Wenshu saw him, he immediately changed his previous attitude towards the imperial court and decided to cooperate with the imperial court.

At this point, the crisis of the Lin family has been solved, but the Chen family is about to fall into endless trouble, and the Yingtian Empire will also be affected by this and enter turmoil.

Although the Lin family survived this attack, the casualties were too serious and the personnel were seriously insufficient, so Lin Wenshu had to write an urgent letter to Lin Lao, telling him the predicament encountered by the Lin family, and asking him to quickly divide a part of the people back to Jiangnan to maintain the normal operation of the Lin family.

However, how did Lin Wenshu know that the Lin family was also in trouble in Dongning City of the Shuntian Empire, and the situation was even more severe than that of the Lin family, and they were simply in a desperate situation!

Outside Dongning City, thousands of people from the Lin family and more than 500 people led by Ye Heng were surrounded by a total of 90,000 horses and horses from the Ghost Kou army, the Shadow Force, and the Dongning defenders. Among the 90,000 troops, it is easier to deal with the defenders of Dongning, but their number is the least, only about 10,000, which does not affect the overall situation; the real difficulty is the ghost bandits gathered together in the whole territory of Jinzhou, all the ghost bandits who invaded the Tianyun Continent are here, their fighting methods are completely different from the Tianyun Continent, and there are nearly 50,000 people, as long as they are dispatched, it is enough to solve the people on both sides of Lin Ye; and the strongest is the team cultivated by the Shadow Organization itself, which is the armed force that they have spent nearly twenty years secretly cultivating that is absolutely loyal to the Shadow, and the number of this team is more than 30,000, although this is the first time that all of them have been dispatched, the outside world does not know how strong they areHowever, in order to cultivate them, help them improve their combat power, and gain experience, these people have all been transferred to the rivers and lakes in other capacities, what bandit caravans, dart divisions, etc., they have all done it, and some have even established their own forces, and if they don't know it, they will inevitably suffer a big loss!
