In the dead of night, the wedding of the famous Prince Chen finally came to an end after a lot of commotion, and the residual heat of the festivities slowly dissipated in the cold night.

On the roof of Taishi's Mansion, a white figure faced the direction of Prince Chen's Mansion, standing quietly and staring. The handsome angular face was furrowed, and there was a painful look in his eyes. The white clothes and black hair swayed in the wind, looking lonely. Looking closely, this is Lin Xiaoyu.

I don't know how long he looked at it, watching the lights in the palace go out one by one, his heart hurt like blood. For revenge, he finally pushed her to the knife edge of the wind and waves with his own hands. The younger sister who was his childhood sweetheart and clinged to each other has since become someone else's wife.

"Senior brother, I want to go with you to the rivers and lakes, to be a woman who is afraid of others, robbing the rich and helping the poor, okay?"

"Senior brother, with you, I'm not afraid of anything. ”

"Lin Xiaoyu, you bastard, where did you run away again. ”

"Hmph, if you ignore me, I'll haunt you for the rest of my life. ”

Recalling the past, Lin Xiaoyu's words still linger clearly in my ears. That familiar face, every move, every smile, are deeply imprinted in my heart. It's just that in the face of that deep affection, he has never been able to respond, let alone give any promises.

"As the saying goes, some people rejoice, and some people worry. It seems that this is the case. A crisp female voice interrupted Lin Xiaoyu's memories. Out of nowhere, a woman in green, tall figure, with two shallow dimples hanging on her goose egg face with snowy skin, was very beautiful and radiant.

"What are you doing here?" asked Lin Xiaoyu without looking back.

"I was here to congratulate you, but it doesn't seem like the time. ”

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyu was silent, he said again: "Why bother in the first place, don't forget her identity, you have paid enough for her over the years." Since you have chosen revenge, then you should know that you must cut off the relationship between you, otherwise, she will only be a stumbling block for you. ”

"Shut up, I don't need anyone to remind me. Lin Xiaoyu said coldly.

"Hmph, you can't have both fish and bear's paws. Your plan is indeed developing according to your expectations, but why didn't you expect that your junior sister would conflict with your plan? After that incident, you thought she would be able to wander the world with you without worry?"

"So what?"

Now that you've made your choice, why don't you just accept it, and it might feel a little better. Besides, if she knew that you caused her today, she probably wouldn't have accepted you!"

Lin Xiaoyu let out a heavy sigh, choosing revenge, which means losing her, this is their fate, or God's punishment for him.

"Don't sigh, let's go, someone is still waiting for you? It's better to worry about others than to worry about yourself, my godfather is not such an easy person to fool." As he spoke, he jumped off the roof and disappeared into the night, and Lin Xiaoyu followed.

The two of them landed in a large courtyard of the Taishi Mansion one after another, and the fire had been extinguished all around, so they entered the middle room in the dark and lit a fire, from the surrounding area, this was just a very ordinary study. The woman in green walked to the wall on the left, reached out and groped behind a gold-rimmed painting for a while, only to hear a low sound, and the bookcase placed on the opposite side slowly moved, and a secret door with a long stone staircase winding down appeared inside. After the two entered, the bookcase was moved back to its original state.

On the walls on both sides of the stone staircase, an oil lamp was hung at intervals, and the two of them turned left along the staircase. This is a very open underground secret room, there are braziers in the four corners, the flames illuminate the whole secret room, and there are many weapons placed around, all of which are some spears and knives.

The two stone doors in front of it, closed left and opened on the right, the stone bed and table in the stone room and some simple daily necessities, Yi Hongyuan was sitting at the table, his unhappy calm face, shining eyes, and the cold air of a cautious person. Two young men in power suits stand with their heads bowed to the lower right.

"Godfather, Lin Xiaoyu brought it. As soon as she entered, the woman in green respectfully reported the situation, then glanced at the person behind her, and stood next to her to give up her position.

"See Taishi, I haven't seen you for a long time, Taishi can be okay?" After Lin Xiaoyu stepped forward and saluted, he raised his head to meet Yi Hongyuan's gaze, with a smile on his face. His expression and demeanor were like a different person, completely devoid of the arrogance and coldness just now.

"What do you say?" Yi Hongyuan asked rhetorically with a glare.

"What does Taishi mean by this, but what have I done that you are not satisfied with?" Lin Xiaoyu's face did not change, and he responded to Yi Hongyuan's gaze very calmly.

After staring at it for a while, Lin Xiaoyu's reaction did not have any flaws, and then he said slowly: "Can you handle the matter over there?"

"Of course, he is also my master, and he must be properly arranged, so it took a little time, but now there is no problem. ”

Yi Hongyuan nodded: "Well, yes, those who do great things must put aside a distracting thought." You are the person recommended by Siya, and the foundation is also clean, and the old man has always believed in you as a person. You have been operating in the dark for more than a year, and it is indeed good. ”

Lin Xiaoyu smiled lightly and said, "The master has won the award." ”

"The old man is just talking about things. It just so happens that you came back at the right time, and I just have some questions for you here!"

"Why did the Taishi say this, if there is anything to ask, I must know everything, and I will say everything. ”

Yi Hongyuan snorted: "Do you know who Prince Chen married today?"

Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoyu looked away with a wry smile and said, "Of course I know, my junior sister Lin Xiaoyu." ”

"I've always known that you have a junior sister, and I've never paid much attention to it. Now it seems that she is really not simple, first the daughter of Lord Lin Lanhai, and then she became Princess Chen. Shouldn't I congratulate Your Excellency, you will gain fame and fortune in the future, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth?" Yi Hongyuan said in an unkind tone, if he hadn't sent someone to investigate the origin of this princess, he really didn't know that there was such a relationship.

"The master is serious, if it weren't for the support of the master, Lin would only have an empty opportunity to display his ambitions. ”

"In that case, how should you explain the merits in between?"

"Taishi has always been rigorous and thoughtful in dealing with people, if he is not a person who knows the roots, it is difficult to entrust him with reuse, no matter who recommends him. Regarding the identity of my junior sister, I thought that the Taishi had already known it, so I didn't think about reporting it so much. No, I didn't say, don't your men still know all this? Lin Xiaoyu said and looked sideways at the two people standing next to him.

"Hmph, are you really not thinking about it that much, or have you already thought too much, and you know it in your heart. Otherwise, if you don't take the road that Lin Lanhai has laid out there, why will you take a detour and go around to my door!"

"Naturally, he can't compare to you, as the so-called people go to a high place, isn't it obvious who is superior and who is inferior in the current situation. Besides, my junior sister is the daughter abandoned by him, and what is it, how can I vote for him. ”

Lin Xiaoyu's eloquent words finally softened Yi Hongyuan's face, thinking that his words were not unreasonable, who is not interested in their own interests, and if they want to get ahead, they must find a powerful backer.

"So, I misunderstood Your Excellency. ”

"It's always a good thing to be careful," Lin Xiaoyu replied lightly, pretending not to care.

"Hahaha, but the old man learned that you have a deep relationship with your childhood sister, and now that she is the princess, you let her say a few words for you in front of the prince, wouldn't the future be better than in me." ”

It seems that the words are more aggressive than the sentence, Lin Xiaoyu replied quietly: "Well, what the master said is not bad, but he is too underestimated, even if Lin is greedy for fame and fortune, there is no need to borrow her hand." What's more, the relationship between the Taishi and the palace has always been discordant, and I will naturally pay attention to it. ”

The implication is very clear that he will not hesitate to state his position even if he is against the palace.

Yi Hongyuan smiled and didn't speak, thinking that Lin Xiaoyu could still be fearless in the face of danger under his repeated questioning, and this courage was indeed outstanding. Coupled with the previous table xiàn, many things were handled quite well in the dark. He has been an orphan since he was a child, and what else can he want but fame and fortune! Maybe he is really too worried! In short, no matter what his intentions are or what his origins are, as long as he uses it well, he will make a good move.

This old thing city is really deep, and he still hasn't dispelled his suspicions after saying so much. Lin Xiaoyu was a little uneasy in his heart, could it be that he had leaked something, if he didn't get his trust, then all his hard work and plans would be in vain.

The silent atmosphere became a little tense, and the woman in green saw that neither of them had the intention of speaking first, and said loudly: "Godfather, you just believe him once, multiple friends are better than multiple enemies." If he really had bad deeds, he would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now. ”

"Siya, people's hearts are unpredictable, this sentence was taught to you by my godfather since I was a child. ”

One sentence refuted her, and the woman in green named Siya glanced at Lin Xiaoyu and handed him a look of self-begging.

Lin Xiaoyu pretended to lament and said: "It's really difficult to chase fame and fortune now, it seems that if I don't take some practical actions to prove my determination, I'm afraid that the Taishi will wipe out along with the previous trust in Lin." ”

"Okay, that's what the old man is waiting for, so how can you prove it?"

"Hahaha, it's very simple, turn from darkness to light to execute your plan to deal with Xiahou Yichen. ”

"It's a good mention" Yi Hongyuan praised, this is exactly what he thought, not only to avoid Lin Xiaoyu's two-sided flattery, but also to test whether it is really used by him. Of course, it would be best if he was sincere in doing things for him, and if he had another purpose in his heart, he would have prepared early.

"Then your junior sister" Yi Hongyuan stopped talking.

"Taishi's enemy is my enemy, help you complete the great cause, I can also get a piece of the pie, what else do you care?" said this, but in his heart he secretly scolded the old fox, and he had to force him to completely break all relationships before he stopped.

Yi Hongyuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I'm also for your good, otherwise if you meet her one day, you will suddenly be soft-hearted and miss a big event." As long as you are faithful to me, you will benefit from it. ”

"Thank you Taishi for mentioning it, Lin should do his best. ”

"Well, then it's decided, you're tired from rushing back today, so let's go back and rest with Siya. ”

"Then retire first. ”

The daughter also retired. After saying that, the two turned around and went out together.

Watching the two leave, thinking about Lin Xiaoyu's matter, Yi Hongyuan said: "Lin Lanhai, Lin Lanhai, your trick is really lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, but you can't complain about me." ”
