Lin Wan sighed lightly and continued: "Brother Chengkuan, the progress of society and the replacement of dynasties always have to pay some price, we can fight hard for the people, but we can't die for the people." What's more, even if they are sacrificed in vain, they may not be able to be saved. Of the courtiers who followed your father at the beginning, who was left except for those who left the capital early like your father-in-law? Even a meritorious family like the Feng family was almost wiped out. Although my grandfather and my uncle have persevered until now, in the past 20 years, they have been framed many times, and they have almost been beheaded several times. Aunt Xue and Aunt Yu also paid a great price, even their lives, in order to intercede for the Zhao family. This time with Zhou Tianhong, we have no way out, and if we don't go, there will be only a dead end. ”

Zhou Chengkuan was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and every word Lin Wan said was stuck in his heart. Yes, the winner is the king, the loser is the villain, once the failure, it means that the blood is flowing.

Lin Wan looked at Zhou Chengkuan's sad expression, knowing that he must have thought of his father and mother again, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said with a firm gaze: "We won't lose, the real war hasn't started yet, we won't fight a battle that we are not sure of." When the time comes, we will definitely settle accounts with Zhou Tianhong. ”

Zhou Chengkuan sighed lightly, nodded, and said, "I hope that history will not repeat itself, and I hope that my father's sacrifice is not in vain." ”

Lin Wan smiled faintly and said, "Brother Chengkuan, your father is kind-hearted, and his sacrifice has saved many people's lives, which is admirable. But, rest assured, history will not repeat itself. Zhou Tianhong is now completely unpopular, and no one supports him except the Lu family and the Nanyue Kingdom, including his father and his own brother. The so-called water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat, Zhou Tianhong is bringing about his own destruction. ”

Zhou Chengkuan smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay, I will do as you say, and let the brothers of the Shadowless Pavilion help to try to protect as many innocent people as possible from being mutilated." ”

Lin Wan hooked his lips and smiled, and praised: "Chengkuan is worthy of being the son of King Wu, and he really inherited King Wu's generous and benevolent demeanor. The name that Uncle Zhong changed for you should also mean this. ”

Zhou Chengkuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Wan'er is falsely praised, where can I be compared with my father? As he spoke, he turned and walked upstairs to his room.

In the flower hall, only Lin Wan and Ximen Yuqing were left sitting opposite each other, quietly drinking tea.

Lin Wan took a deep breath, looked up at Ximen Yuqing, and asked seriously, "Brother Ximen, what do you think of this?"

Ximen Yuqing hooked his lips slightly, and said softly: "As long as you don't go back stupidly and let others slaughter you, it's enough to stay by my side." As for the decree, rest assured, no one will be able to bring it to you. Moreover, I deliberately used the secret guards of my Xiling Kingdom to intercept and kill Gonggong Fan, who passed on the decree, and snatched the holy decree. I just want Zhou Tianhong to know that all this has nothing to do with you, and I don't want you to go. ”

Lin Wan looked at Ximen Yuqing gratefully, and thanked him softly: "Thank you, Brother Ximen, for thinking so well for me." ”

Ximen Yuqing shook his head with a smile and said, "I won't let you go back until the situation in the Great Feudal Kingdom is not stable." You just stay here and let me protect you, okay?"

Lin Wan pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Brother Ximen, I'm not stupid, so naturally I won't go back and kill myself at this time." Moreover, if I stay with you, the apocalypse will be more at ease. ”

When Ximen Yuqing heard this, he smiled bitterly, nodded, and did not continue the topic. After thinking about it, he frowned and asked, "Wan'er, do you want to take your mother over too?"

Lin Wan sighed lightly, shook his head, and said, "No need, Zhou Tianhong shouldn't be stupid enough to dare to touch my mother." After a pause, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said coldly: "If Zhou Tianhong is really so self-conscious, it will only accelerate his demise." ”

Ximen Yuqing nodded slightly, and no longer persuaded more, looked at Lin Wan with a smile, and said softly: "Wan'er, are you dressed up so grandly today because you want to see my father?"

Lin Wan smiled and muttered: "Naturally, I want to see my uncle, but the last time I deceived my uncle as Wei Qiniang, I don't know if he will be angry with me, and I feel a little uneasy." ”

Ximen Yuqing's mood suddenly improved, and he smiled heartily and said: "My father has a very good impression of you, and praises you for your medical skills, intelligence, and eloquence, and you are a rare good helper. ”

Lin Wan pursed his lips and smiled, nodded, and praised seriously: "Uncle really has eyes like a torch, distinguishes between right and wrong, is wise and martial, and is a good father who is loving and open-minded. ”

Ximen Yuqing listened, raised his finger and nodded at Lin Wan in the air, and laughed. Then he smiled again, approached Lin Wan, handsome as the moon, his eyes were like stars, staring at Lin Wan's eyes for a moment, his voice was charming, and he asked word by word: "But, Wan'er, are you willing to be my good helper, and are you willing to call his father with me?"

Lin Wan smiled faintly and said without changing his face: "Brother Ximen, if you need it, I can help you unconditionally and as much as I can at any time." If my uncle is willing, I am also very happy to recognize him as my father-in-law, and I will be a princess of Xiling Kingdom. Brother Simon, in that case, we can become brother and sister worthy of the name, would you like to?"

When Ximen Yuqing heard this, he was immediately deflated, his face was cold, he slapped the fan a few times, frowned, and said categorically: "I don't want to!"

Lin Wan didn't care, pursed his lips, pretended to be angry and snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Hmph, if you don't want to, you don't want to." Anyway, I'm already a princess of the two countries, and this princess is not rare!

Ximen Yuqing showed his white teeth, smiled brightly, and continued to say seductively: "That is, you are already the princess of the two countries, but you have not been the crown princess, so it is better to make a princess too." ”

Lin Wan's eyes widened, looking at Ximen Yuqing with a simple and clear gaze, looking at his handsome face and gentle eyes, there seemed to be a moment of sparkling. But suddenly his eyes were clear, he blinked his big eyes full of innocence, frowned, shook his head firmly, and said solemnly: "Big brother, you are not kind! How can you be seductive with fame, fortune and beauty?"

Ximen Yuqing couldn't help touching his forehead, sighed lightly, and muttered to himself: "It seems that my beauty is not attractive enough." ”

Lin Wan looked at Ximen Yuqing's pretended sad appearance, and couldn't help laughing, and said jokingly: "Brother Ximen, you are already very beautiful, but it's not enough to hook the soul." ”
