"Yes, Lin Zhi understood. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Zhi went back first. Lin Zhi lowered his head and turned around lonely.

She's not afraid, she just doesn't like these turbulent days.

She had never been so eager for peace, never so nostalgic for the times of modern peace.

No war, no monsters......

Even if life is more difficult, it is better than war, death and the separation of wives.

"Little girl......" Zuo Hongyun's slightly hesitant voice came from behind him, "About Mingxuan, I was dazzled, and I can't help you." ”

When Lin Zhi heard this, his heart was a little sour.

She bowed slightly and said, "There is nothing to do left and right, don't go to your heart." ”

To tell the truth, for a person like Zuo Hongyun with a straightforward temperament and straightforwardness, Lin Zhi believed that he had been blinded by Gao Mingxuan in the past before making those bad moves.

But now that he is a first-order city lord, a high-level martial artist, and an elder, he is willing to put down his body and put down his face, and apologize to Lin Zhi, a junior, which is already a rare achievement.

You know, many people of his age, even if they do something wrong, will not admit it, let alone apologize.

Zuo Hongyun received Lin Zhi's hearty understanding, but he was not relieved, and still had a tangled expression.

He rubbed his hands uneasily, and only said after a while: "Maybe you don't know yet." General Xiao, who died of a violent illness, was Xiao Ling's biological father. Ah Ling, he has not had a mother since he was a child...... I'm feeling very sad now. You ...... with him It's a friend from childhood to adulthood, can you comfort and comfort him? ”

Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and asked softly, "Where is he now?" ”

……

A quarter of an hour later, Zuo Hongyun led Lin Zhi to a hidden courtyard near the City Lord's Mansion.

However, this was not Xiao Ling's permanent residence, and Lin Zhi recalled a little, it seemed to be an uninhabited abandoned mansion in the past.

There was no padlock on the door, but a strange rune was drawn.

"This is ......" Lin Zhi was surprised, "what's wrong with him?" Why draw runes on doors? ”

Zuo Hongyun sighed: "He didn't do much. This rune is to prevent him from escaping. He...... He always wanted to go back to the capital and see his father. Now the situation is volatile, you should understand. ”

"I see." Lin Zhi took a deep breath and watched Zuo Hongyun unravel the rune and open the door of the small courtyard.

Zuo Hongyun said: "I'm sorry for you, little girl." ”

Lin Zhi quietly approached the deserted courtyard.

There are no tall pines and cypresses, no colorful flowers, only weeds and a few lonely-looking old locust trees.

A pitch-black figure was frantically practicing his sword in the clearing.

The sword light is sharp. Every stab, every pick, every move, he used all his strength. It seems that the air in front of him is the hatred in his heart that he can't wait to cut with a thousand knives.

"Don't come and tell me big things." Xiao Ling didn't turn his eyes to look at the door, but said coldly, "I said, I don't want to hear it." ”

Lin Zhi put his hands in front of him and clasped them together anxiously.

"Xiao Ling, it's me." She said softly.

She didn't know why she just said four words like this.

How good are she and Xiao Ling? She can't say it, but she is by no means a "friend from childhood to adulthood" as Zuo Hongyun said.

After all, in her memory, Xiao Ling was calling her with his accomplices not long ago.

Is it she who can calm him down?

When Xiao Ling heard the voice, his body stiffened, and when he looked at it, he lost his voice and said, "You're back, you're finally ...... It's back. ”

Lin Zhi slowly took two steps closer to him and said softly, "Yes, I accompanied Meili back to her hometown to deal with some things before I returned." ”

Hearing only a crisp sound of "pop", the sword in Xiao Ling's hand fell to the ground.

At this time, Lin Zhi had a chance to see Xiao Ling's haggard and pale face.

He didn't know how long he had been practicing the sword in the dark in this small courtyard, sweat soaked the hair on his forehead, the place where he held the sword in his right hand had long been dark and black, and the rich sadness and loss between his eyebrows were almost drowning him.

"Nyingchi." He trembled, "My father is dead. ”

Xiao Ling...... Don't be upset. ”

On the way here, Lin Zhi thought of a lot of words to comfort Xiao Ling. It can be seen that he looks exhausted when he is not an adult, and he can't remember a word, and when the words come to his mouth, there are only four words left: "Don't be sad".

She thought that Xiao Ling would cry. Will cry uncontrollably like a child.

But then she realized that she really didn't know much about this big boy.

The former hippie smiling face and squirming temperament can no longer be found in him, replaced by an unconcealed haggardness, a downright sadness, and a hidden anger in his eyes.

He's strong.

This was something she hadn't expected.

Lin Zhi smiled at him with a relieved smile: "Let's go into the house and have a cup of tea." ”

Xiao Ling nodded, silently followed behind Lin Zhi, entered the room, and sat quietly by the desk.

Lin Zhi poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

Xiao Ling took the teacup, raised his head and drank it all.

When the herbal tea was entered, he seemed to come to life.

"They ......," he paused, "I want to go back to the capital and see my father for the last time." But Master didn't want to, he wouldn't let me go, and he kept me here. ”

Lin Zhi sat beside him and said softly, "Xiao Ling, do you really think that your father died of a violent illness?" ”

"Of course not!" Xiao Ling dropped the teacup excitedly, "Lin Zhi, my father is in excellent health!" He is a high-level martial artist, and he is only one step away from a heavenly god martial artist! He couldn't have gotten sick and died! That's why I'm going back and finding out what's going on! Find the real murderer of my father! They can't be allowed to go unpunished! ”

Lin Zhi saw that his mood was unstable again, and the bruises on his exposed hands burst out, and he hurriedly patted him on the back with relief.

It was a simple and gentle movement, but it worked almost immediately.

Xiao Ling was like a pacified little beast, and quickly quieted down.

"Xiao Ling, I can imagine how you feel......" Lin Zhi said slowly, "But have you ever thought about it?" Even your father, who is so powerful, has been planted in their hands, and if you go, won't you fall into their traps and fall into their hands? ”

"I, I've thought about it...... Xiao Ling hurriedly said, "But Lin Zhi, I haven't seen my father for many years...... I haven't been home since I had a fight with him a few years ago and sneaked out. Lin Zhi, I don't even know what he looks like now...... If I don't go back, I'll never see him again. ”

"He won't blame you." When Lin Zhi said these six words, he obviously felt Xiao Ling relax slightly, "He won't blame you, he definitely hopes you well." Xiao Ling, don't worry. My master, Ning Zhiyao, had already gone to the capital, and she was also suspicious of the matter, so she went to investigate. Don't worry, she will definitely be able to find out what happened and come back to give you an explanation. ”

"I believe in Fairy Ning. But Lin Zhi ......" Xiao Ling suddenly grabbed her wrist and looked at her deeply, "Lin Zhi, I don't have a family anymore." ”
