Chapter Forty-Eight: The Child
The villa is large and gorgeous, the interior is even more luxurious and unbelievable, the carpet from the entrance to the hall is thick and comfortable, the four thick sandalwood pillars that exude a unique fragrance support the ceiling, and all kinds of vivid patterns are from the hands of the most famous carving masters of the empire.
The interior of the villa has never opened the window, the curtains are closed, blocking all the light from the outside world, the precious crystal chandelier on the ceiling exudes a soft light, under the lamp, an old man with his back to the door of the villa is wearing a simple silk robe, his hair has been slightly thinned and combed neatly, and he is holding a bone china tea set in his hand to make tea, leaving Lin Fengxue with a thin and almost shriveled back.
Lin Fengxue's originally stiff smile became more natural, and he waved his hand lightly, and the thirteen disciples who had always been firmly protected by him stopped at the door at the same time, looking at the old figure inside the villa with burning eyes and awe.
The thirteen disciples are the strongest line of defense around Lin Fengxue, and the thirteen absolutely first-class masters represent the most elite and sharpest team, not to mention being bodyguards, even if they are allowed to form a mercenary group, with their strength, they can definitely become one of the most terrifying mercenary groups in the dark world.
But this absolutely powerful team can't retain the slightest pride in front of that back, everyone's eyes are almost the same, worship, fanaticism, fear, horror, all kinds of extreme eyes fused together, forming an extremely complex emotion, dare not get close, and dare not have the slightest offense.
Lin Fengxue subconsciously took a deep breath, quickened her steps slightly, and came to the old man with Yun Qiuping, and said with a smile: "Yun Lao, I haven't come to see you for a while, how are you doing?"
"Good. ”
Old man Yun responded without raising his head, his tone was very light, but his voice was very steady, and it seemed very clear and powerful when it reached people's ears, he nodded casually and said calmly: "Sit down." ”
Lin Fengxue and Yun Qiuping sat down together, and they were not in a hurry to speak, quietly watching the old man make tea.
Yun Lao's movements are soothing, natural, like flowing water, carrying the bone porcelain teapot produced in the United Kingdom, symbolizing status and power, known as the king of porcelain, pouring the yellowish tea into the teacup placed on the serpentine wood coffee table, a refreshing fragrance quickly diffuses, if there is nothing, it is entangled with the sandalwood incense in the hall, and the smell is intoxicating.
"Good tea. ”
Lin Fengxue picked up the cup, sniffed the tea deeply, and smiled and admired.
"Uncle Lin, this is an authentic and superb red robe, Master is reluctant to drink it when he is alone, I can taste it today, and it is also stained with your light. ”
Yun Qiuping said with a smile.
"Hippie smiley, what does it look like!"
Yun Lao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he reprimanded in a low tone.
"Young people, it's good to be vibrant. ”
Lin Fengxue smiled, her eyes flashing slightly, with a hint of caution.
The old man in front of him can be said to be a shadow of the empire for decades.
Many people know that the guardian of the empire is Wang Tianxiong, but there are very few who know about the mountains and clouds.
But no one who knew this name dared to despise him in the slightest.
Who is stronger between him and Wang Tianxiong, this has always been a suspense, the age difference between the two is eight years, Wang Tianxiong is younger, but when the two competed with each other, Yun Shanluan, who was in the prime of life, still had an advantage, but the most sighing thing was that the help behind Yun Shanluan was not as strong as Wang Tianxiong.
At that time, almost all the forces of the southwest faction were placed in the grand plan of two successive generations of heads, and there was no extra strength to support Yunshanluan, to some extent, he was a victim, and the final outcome was that Wang Tianxiong entered the Hidden Dragon Sea Special Service Brigade at that time, which is the predecessor of the Shenzhou Guardian who now represents all the dark forces of the empire.
And Yunshanluan has become a shadow of the empire, to be precise, a bodyguard.
The Empire's best bodyguard.
Not anyone can be the bodyguard who has protected the three decision-making giants for decades without making the slightest mistake.
If it weren't for the fact that he made a big mistake later and was sent to Kyushu Prison, he might still be a shadow with the supreme chief.
In terms of force, although Yunshanluan is old, it is still the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Southwest faction, and this Dinghaishen Needle has also suppressed countless hole cards of the Southwest faction for so many years.
The recent turmoil in Kyushu City, all forces are in turmoil, the royal family that has been silent for twenty years finally made a move, the king left side by side, and the God of War King entered the capital, the huge pressure has always been firmly pressed on Lin Fengxue, almost making him breathless, thinking about it again and again, he still came to Kyushu Prison, and today, even if he can't take away the Dinghai God Needle of Yunshanluan, he must also take out a few hole cards.
On the sofa, Yun Shanluan silently took a sip of tea in the cup, smiled, and said slowly: "Southwest often comes to see me, and he sent me the tea, saying that he stole it from you, and this time he stuffed me with more than half a catty." ”
"I can't conjure up half a catty of the best red robe for him to steal. ”
Lin Fengxue smiled and shook her head, the pride in her eyes flashed.
Southwest Lin Jialin Southwest.
Lin Fengxue's eldest son, the eldest disciple of Yun Shanluan, in the eyes of many people, this is completely capable of fighting against the eldest son of the royal family, Wang Tongtian, and the eldest and younger of the Lin family, will 100% succeed Wang Tianxiong in the next few years and become the new guardian of the empire, protect the continued development of the Lin family in the southwest, and withstand the pressure of the new leadership team of the empire dominated by the royal family two years later together with the political giants of the southwest faction.
Yun Shanluan took another sip of tea, put down the teacup, and leaned back on the sofa.
He always kept his head down, and this time he finally faced Lin Fengxue with his face straight.
It was a weather-beaten face without the slightest maintenance, thin, wrinkled, and even a few age spots, everything was like an ordinary old man, but what was not ordinary was a hideous scar that spread from his chin to his forehead!
The scar was unusually straight, as if it had been slashed by a sword, and the wound was extremely deep, forming a straight line that almost split his entire face in half, and with any change of his facial expression, the hideous scar would slowly squirm, ugly and terrifying.
Lin Fengxue looked at the scars on Yun Shanluan's face, her eyes were complicated, and her request to invite him out of the mountain came to her lips, but she couldn't say anything.
Yun Shanluan noticed Lin Fengxue's eyes, smiled disapprovingly, stretched out his hand and touched the scar on his face, and laughed at himself: "After so many years, I am used to his face, and it is not bad to touch it in my spare time, at least let me know that some things have not been done yet, and I have worries in my heart, so that I can live for a few more years." ”
"Yun Lao is in good health, and it is not a problem to live for another thirty or fifty years. ”
Lin Fengxue said with a smile, and drank the fragrant tea a little absentmindedly.
Yun Shanluan was noncommittal, silent for a moment, and said lightly: "How is it over there now?"
"Wang Fuyu is gone, side by side with the palace changed to the God of War Palace, we don't know enough about him for the time being, Deputy Prime Minister Chen returned to the royal family some time ago, and has not returned yet, a few days ago, Tang Ning also went back, in addition, Lin Congjun has always stayed in Kyushu City to contact all the people who belonged to the royal family back then, and now the atmosphere is very tense, if my expectations are good, they should be going to counterattack. ”
Lin Fengxue cautiously considered the wording: "Replacing Wang Fuyu with the God of War King should be a signal from the emperor, and this title alone can make people think of a lot." If they want to counterattack, it should be with this God of War King as the core. ”
"The God of War King?"
Yun Shanluan muttered to himself, his tone a little confused.
"Lin Xuanyuan, the god of war, assassinated the emperor in London three years ago, the specific situation was unknown at that time, but the result was that both sides lost. I just don't know why Lin Xuanyuan suddenly joined the royal family three years later, which is completely inexplicable. ”
Lin Fengxue explained, but there was a little confusion in his eyes, the God of War and the Emperor, this is a question he has not been able to understand during this time, the one who killed his righteous son Lin Xiao can already be sure that Lin Xuanyuan has nothing to do with the Lin family in Kyushu City, and that night in the Brilliant Shenzhou, in his study, the one who fought with the emperor must also be Lin Xuanyuan, that is to say, the famous God of War His Royal Highness saved his life more than a month ago, why did he change his position and become the prince of the royal family after only a few days?
Why did he save himself that night?
Which play is this?
"No way. ”
Yun Shanluan shook his head categorically: "I have heard of this matter, I don't believe that he and the emperor are both defeated, there are only two possibilities, either, the assassination three years ago was originally acting, or, the emperor at that time was dragged by other things, so he was hit hard by Lin Xuanyuan, otherwise the emperor has no reason to lose both with a killer, even if the killer is a so-called god." ”
"Master is right, God? Tsk, God of War King, what a name, I would like to see how invincible this killer god really is. Master, let me out, let me follow Uncle Lin to meet the masters of the royal family. ”
Yun Qiuping sneered, with arrogance and disdain on his face.
"Bastard!"
Yun Shanluan snorted heavily, and looked at his little apprentice coldly: "Even if he is not the emperor's opponent, isn't he still your opponent?
Yun Qiuping took a sip of tea and looked at Lin Fengxue.
Lin Fengxue didn't help Yun Qiuping speak this time, but said with a solemn face: "Lin Xuanyuan is indeed very strong, Qiuping, you are not his opponent for the time being." The royal family has been able to produce many people in the past 20 years, and no one who can be the king of the royal family can be underestimated, in my opinion, he will definitely not be weaker than Wang Fuyu, the king side by side, or even a little stronger. ”
Yun Qiuping rolled his eyes and pouted, looking unconvinced.
Yun Shanluan shook his head helplessly, and said indifferently: "If you are unruly, it is difficult to become a big tool." ”
Lin Fengxue smiled and said: "Yun Lao, young people always have to sharpen themselves, always take them with them, it will be good and bad for him, I don't think it's as good as this, how about I take Qiuping for two years? ”
Yun Qiuping's eyes lit up, and he was eager to try, he was very tempted to follow Lin Fengxue, but he was simply eager to enter the Thunder Squad.
Lin Nannan is his senior brother, he has loved him since he was a child, and they are both young people, if he can enter the Thunder Squad, his life will definitely be extremely comfortable.
"You're here today to take this kid away?"
Yun Shanluan's gaze suddenly shifted to Lin Fengxue, and asked quietly.
"That's not it, if it's possible, I want to ask Master Yun and his apprentices to go out of the mountain, Qiu Ping to go to the Thunder Squad, deputy captain, and I want to ask Yun Lao to protect my safety, and the thirteen disciples are useful. ”
Lin Fengxue looked at Yun Shanluan with a solemn face, and said seriously, he had intended to let the thirteen disciples fly alone, but with the third name change of the side by side palace, his heart became more and more uneasy, the God of War King Lin Xuanyuan, very few people know the legend of this dark world, but he is famous for his combat effectiveness, how terrifying he is, Lin Fengxue is not clear for the time being, but if he can let Yun Shanluan out of the mountain, then he has nothing to worry about.
Silent.
The hall fell silent for a moment.
The clouds and mountains were silent.
Lin Fengxue and Yun Qiuping looked forward to it, the former was looking forward to Yun Shan coming out of the mountain, and the latter was expecting the master to let him out.
"I'm old, it's not that I can't fight, but I want to fight hard to be more valuable. ”
After a long time, Yun Shanluan sighed softly and shook his head.
This is undoubtedly a refusal.
Lin Fengxue was silent, he was not surprised by this result, the family is accumulating, the martial arts are accumulating, these two aspects, the royal family is a typical representative, Yunshanluan has entered the twilight of life, although the combat power is still terrifying, but every time he makes a move, it is a huge consumption for him, obviously, he thinks that Lin Xuanyuan is not worth his hard work for the time being.
A prince is not worth it, and it has been revealed who the ultimate goal of Yunshanluan is.
"Is there a suitable candidate on hand? I won't hide it from you, I've been short of some talents around me recently. ”
Lin Fengxue said tentatively.
"Have a few nice prisoners, take you to see them?"
Yun Shanluan said listlessly.
"No, I still believe in Yun Lao. ”
Lin Fengxue hurriedly smiled, and her heart gradually relaxed.
"Then leave this matter to Qiuping, and in a week, I'll ask him to find you. ”
Yun Shanluan nodded, lowered his head again and drank tea.
"Uncle Lin, don't worry, there are a few good monsters here, they want to make meritorious contributions but they want to go crazy, there is a chance to be free, make sure they obey, leave this matter to me." ”
Yun Qiuping, who was a little trembling with excitement, didn't say a word, and made a guarantee.
This is the greatest value of Yunshanluan and Kyushu Prison!
Kyushu Prison is the most complex criminal in the empire, exaggeratedly speaking, this is the place where there is no shortage of first-class masters or even super masters, there is no sentence here, and their only chance to see the light of day is to serve the southwest faction.
This prison has always been in the hands of the Southwest faction, and in recent years, it has been suppressed by Yun Shanluan, and the speed of training these top criminals has obviously increased.
Strength is respected.
These top criminals, in the face of absolutely powerful strength, everyone does not mind lowering their arrogant heads in exchange for a chance to be free.
Even if behind this freedom is the sword and sword, blood and sin.
Lin Fengxue came to take a trip, and he could take away a few good monsters in Yun Qiuping's mouth, and it could be regarded as opening a few cards, not in vain.
He agreed with a smile, drank a cup of tea with Yun Shanluan, and then said goodbye.
Yun Qiuping sent Lin Fengxue out with a warm smile on his face, looked at the several Mercedes Benzes that drove out of Kyushu Prison, the smile on his face quickly cooled down, and walked into the villa quickly, looked at the old man who was still drinking tea, and whispered Master.
"I don't blame you. ”
Yun Shanluan played with the teacup in his hand and said indifferently: "After following me for so many years, you want to go out for a walk, I don't object, but you confirm that you want to go to Thunder?"
"Yes. ”
After a long time, Yun Qiuping hummed in a low voice, and whispered: "I know what Master means, the Shenzhou Guardian is about to be selected, and Senior Brother is likely to go in directly, and the thunder he left behind will be mine, and it must be mine!"
"It's good that you understand. ”
Yun Shanluan motioned for him to sit down and poured him a cup of tea himself: "In addition, you have to understand that outside, your identity as my apprentice can't help you much, and the trouble it brings you may be even more, you remember, in the outside world, my identity is no longer the shadow of the empire, but an old guy who made a mistake and was assigned here to guard the prison, everything in Kyushu Prison must not confide in outsiders!"
"I see, Master. ”
Yun Qiuping nodded cautiously, and was silent for a while, but smiled: "I don't think that Master was assigned here, and even if he is assigned, so many years are enough, for almost twenty years, no one in Kyushu Prison has ever been able to escape, and no one in the Southwest Faction dares to forget this credit." ”
"Do you really think no one can escape from here?!"
Yun Shanluan seemed to think of something, and subconsciously touched the scar on his face, his eyes were cold.
"Can anyone escape?"
Yun Qiuping stood up suddenly, and the tea spilled on his pants without realizing it.
Yun Shanluan glanced at him coldly, and roared, "Sit down for me!"
Yun Qiuping looked shocked, slowly sat on the sofa, hesitated and hesitated, and finally couldn't help it, and asked softly, "Master, who escaped?"
It's definitely a secret.
Even the Supreme Head of State and Lin Fengxue should never know a secret.
Yun Qiuping thought that he was not an outsider, so he finally asked.
Yun Shanluan glanced at him with a gloomy face, rotated the teacup in his hand, and was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "It's a five-year-old child." ”
