Chapter 169: The Last Stand
Large-scale pick-up has always been an extremely troublesome thing, so when Lin Xuanyuan returned to the palace, it was already half past four in the afternoon.
Again, this is a deliberate time-saving approach.
Among the people who picked up the airport, from Lin Qingtian, the supreme head of the empire, down to the high-ranking officials at the level of deputy governors, and some rich and young people, if everyone wanted to shake hands and say a few words, it would be dark and unfinished, and it was still raining now, so some officials at the level of deputy governors were not interested in getting up, which compressed the process to an hour.
The emperor was surrounded by a group of people and went to the Hidden Dragon Sea, there was also an extremely grand welcome ceremony, Lin Xuanyuan was too lazy to attend, this kind of symbolic meaning is completely greater than the actual meaning of the welcome ceremony I don't know how many times, listening to the giants on the stage saying some official tones with no content at all, in Lin Xuanyuan's opinion, this is equivalent to wasting time and life.
And Xuanyuan Longyin has just died, at this time, Xuanyuan is internally unstable, and he killed Xuanyuan Qinghu, this kind of thing that seems to be cleaning up the portal happened so quickly, Lin Xuanyuan estimates that he has now been labeled by many people as the same as the wolf ambition party.
But it didn't matter, nearly three hours, no matter what they thought, it was enough time for them to suppress the thoughts in their heads and calm down.
The interior of Xuanyuan will be appeased by Xuanyuan Qingchen and Xuanyuan Qinghuan, which can calm down those who are really fanatical believers in Xuanyuan Longyin to a certain extent, as for those who thought carefully after Xuanyuan Longyin's death, Lin Xuanyuan didn't bother to talk nonsense with them.
It's like a character like Xuanyuan Qinghu, they think that the great value they have is completely zero, and the so-called prestige is not worth mentioning in the face of absolute strength, decisively killing Xuanyuan Qinghu is tantamount to telling everyone in the Xuanyuan lineage that the previous era has passed, and the new Xuanyuan lineage host is definitely not as good as Xuanyuan Longyin, credit is merit, rules are rules, as long as you make a mistake, you will pay the price.
The cost of life!
Only for the time being, the Xuanyuan vein in the turmoil in their hearts was suppressed in the most iron-blooded way, and under the appeasement of Xuanyuan Qingchen and Xuanyuan Qinghuan, with the development of time, they were slowly feeling the kind of changes that Xuanyuan Yimai brought to them that they had never experienced.
The long convoy that made people unable to see at a glance left the airport, except for the two Audis in the Zodiac followed behind the emperor's car, the convoy belonging to the Ares of War made a turn, and the royal family No. 3 parted ways with the convoy heading to the Hidden Dragon Sea with dozens of Audis.
Returning to the God of War Palace, he came to the second building in the Liuquan area again, and the atmosphere here had changed significantly from when Lin Xuanyuan left.
It was not like a fake cry, the white curtain was scattered, the hall had been set up as a simple mourning hall, the big inscription was placed in the center of the hall, the light of the candle was shaking, and the best golden silk nan coffin that could be found now was placed in the middle of the hall, and the body of Xuanyuan Longyin was placed inside.
Xuanyuan Qinghuan knelt in front of the coffin sluggishly, throwing paper money into a burning brazier in front of him, many people knelt in the center of the hall, and some people couldn't stand up after crying.
Lin Xuanyuan looked at all this with mixed feelings.
In the past few decades, although Xuanyuan Longyin has not re-carried forward the Xuanyuan lineage, he has indeed done a lot of things, otherwise he would not have been sincerely loved and revered by everyone.
Lin Xuanyuan also believes that Xuanyuan Qinghu is also absolutely 100% loyal to Xuanyuan Longyin, and they may not have any bad intentions about Xuanyuan Yimai.
But now that Xuanyuan Long Yin is dead, Lin Xuanyuan must kill him when they lose control.
Nothing to be sorry for.
Silently, he walked into the hall, came to Xuanyuan Qinghuan's side, knelt with her, and slowly threw paper money into the brazier in front of him.
"On the way back just now, I have already arranged, the funeral will be held in three days, and there will be many people to see off the uncle, which can be regarded as a beautiful funeral, in addition, this place will be temporarily used as a mourning hall, and I will arrange for someone to rearrange it after a while, after the cremation of the uncle's body, the ashes will be brought to Kunlun Mountain, and buried next to my master's grave, the feng shui over there is good, and their old brothers have not seen each other for so many years, presumably there must be a lot to say, let them be a companion, no one is lonely. ”
Xuanyuan Qinghuan nodded silently, after Xuanyuan Longyin died, her whole person seemed to have become a shell that had been completely drained of her soul, as if she had lost the meaning of life, and she couldn't find the way forward, only numbness.
Faced with this situation, Lin Xuanyuan had no choice but to hope that Xuanyuan Qinghuan's state at this time could gradually recover over time.
"Here, it's blocked, it's not open to the public in the future, if you want, you can put Uncle Shi's spiritual position here, think about him, just come and have a look." ”
Lin Xuanyuan continued.
Xuanyuan Qinghuan paused slightly when he threw the paper money, and said softly: "I want to live here, just live in Master's room, if you want to come to me in the future, come here to find me." ”
Lin Xuanyuan frowned, looked at the hall, some taboos and the like, he didn't bother to care, but after all, this is the place where Xuanyuan Longyin died, letting Xuanyuan Qinghuan live here can only make her see things and think about people, and make her even more sad, if she wants her to recover, I don't know how long it will take.
"I've decided. ”
Lin Xuanyuan was still hesitating, and Xuanyuan Qinghuan spoke again, his voice becoming deeper and lower.
"Good. ”
Lin Xuanyuan thought about it, nodded, and looked at the woman with a desperate and numb aura all over her body, Lin Xuanyuan had a headache: " After Uncle Shi's funeral, I am almost going to the United States, it is estimated that I will stay in the United States for a month or two, during this time, Xuanyuan Yimai's affairs, you and Qingchen help take care of it, Xuanyuan Yimai is the brainchild of Shi's uncle, you have also seen it, now many people are unstable, Xuanyuan Qinghu is a more extreme example, if no one takes care of it, I am not there, Xuanyuan Yimai is likely to be chaotic, and we will all be sorry for Uncle Shi, right?"
Xuanyuan Qinghuan turned his head and glanced at Lin Xuanyuan, squeezed out a smile very reluctantly, nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, don't worry." ”
"In short, don't get cranky. ”
Lin Xuanyuan sighed.
After a while, Lin Shushu, who came back with Lin Xuanyuan, changed his clothes, and also came to the mourning hall, glanced at Lin Xuanyuan, nodded, and knelt silently beside Xuanyuan Qingchen.
In just over a month, Lin Xuanyuan could almost clearly see the traces of the transformation on Lin Shushu's body, which was not how much his combat power had improved, but a transformation of temperament.
He became silent a lot, and his eyes, which were always full of vitality, began to become silent, pursing his lips tightly, and in the plainness, the slightest hint of edge began to gradually reveal.
It was a clear, resolute determination to improve combat effectiveness, resolute and almost paranoid.
Lin Xuanyuan frowned, Lin Shushu wanted to pursue strong combat power, which was what he was willing to see, but he was absolutely unwilling to let this cousin, who was closer than his own brother in his heart, become a taciturn killing machine.
It's like... The same as the previous self.
But that kind of closed training method is the best way to improve in the short term, and then the peak method, before a small achievement, is also lonely and lonely training.
Of course, it's fun to fight with some beasts from time to time, but this kind of fun can only increase the inner anger of the trainer.
should find a companion for calligraphy and painting, at least be able to talk to him, so that his originally optimistic personality will not be completely occupied by anger.
Lin Xuanyuan thought about it, his heart suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Qinghuan and said, "What about reincarnation?"
Before Xuanyuan Longyin died, he left Lin Xuanyuan alone, at that time, Xuanyuan reincarnation was handed over to Xuanyuan Qinghuan by him, and then he was busy going to the airport to meet the emperor, and he didn't care about him, but now he suddenly remembered it, only to find that the little apprentice who was supposed to appear here at this time did not appear.
"The kid was so tired, he still had injuries on his body, he didn't seem to have rested well last night, and when he was with me, he was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes, and he fell asleep after sitting for a while, and I carried him to the guest room on the second floor. ”
Xuanyuan Qinghuan spoke quietly, and as soon as the words fell, subtle footsteps sounded from the second floor.
The sleepy-eyed Xuanyuan reincarnation ran down the stairs, ran to Lin Xuanyuan's side, and bowed his head and called Master.
Lin Xuanyuan snorted, reached out and touched his head, pointed to Lin Shushu opposite, and said softly: "That's Uncle Xiao, go find Uncle Xiao, in the future, you practice with him, now get familiar with it first, Master will leave in a while, reincarnation, you keep a vigil here for Master, Master can only come back at night, do you know?"
Xuanyuan nodded obediently, ran to Lin Shushu's side and shouted Uncle Shi.
Lin Shushu smiled and touched his head, let the child kneel beside him, and continued to be silent.
"Do you want to go?"
Xuanyuan Qinghuan took the paper money in his hand and looked at Lin Xuanyuan blankly.
Lin Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the face in his sight that was barely angry, he felt a pain in his heart for no reason.
He stretched out his hand to straighten the hair on Xuanyuan Qinghuan's sideburns, and said softly: "I'm going to go to the Hidden Dragon Sea in a while, it's more than seven o'clock in the evening, there is a welcome dinner I need to attend, and I'll be back after dinner, soon." ”
"Hmm. ”
Xuanyuan Qinghuan nodded, shook his head, and subconsciously rubbed Lin Xuanyuan's palm with his face, the master officially married himself to Lin Xuanyuan before he died, and in Xuanyuan Qinghuan's heart, which was extremely fragile at this time, Lin Xuanyuan, her future man, seemed to have become all her dependence.
Lin Xuanyuan took a breath lightly, and before he could speak, Chen Qingyu, who was dressed in black, had already walked into the mourning hall quickly, lowered his body and whispered in Lin Xuanyuan's ear: "Director Lin Congzheng of the Development Committee came to visit. ”
"Lin Congzheng?"
The complicated light in Lin Xuanyuan's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "What is he doing here?"
The emperor's welcome ceremony naturally could not pull all the people who picked up the airport over, after the people arrived in the city, some people would leave in advance, Lin Congzheng and other governor-level cadres were among them, after all, they still had work to deal with, and some meetings and conversations that had been booked long ago were not easy to push off.
It's just that in the evening, they will all go to the Hidden Dragon Sea to attend the welcome dinner.
Lin Congzheng came over at this time, it was Lin Shuimo who told him about his life experience, and what did he plan to ask for himself as an uncle?
Or do you want to make a final effort to change your attitude before you officially make contact with the Emperor tonight?
After all, this time the in-depth cooperation between the imperial family and the Shenzhou Empire, in addition to the cooperation of various strategic projects, it is also extremely important to reach a consensus at the political level first.
The emperor only came to Kyushu City today, and Lin Qingtian naturally wouldn't talk to him about this, but tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, he couldn't say for sure.
There is still a month before the plenum, and before that, the list of the Wang family to take the plenum may be really determined at any time.
For Lin Congzheng, who now doesn't know which sequence his name is on the list, his opportunity and time are really extremely urgent.
Today's arrival is likely to be his last stand.
Lin Xuanyuan lowered his head and thought about it, the light of interest in his eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a sneer, and said lightly: "Let him in." ”
