Outside Yuelai Restaurant, the night is as dark as ink, and the stars are counting.

Because it is only eighteen today, although the bright moon hanging in the sky is not full, it is no different from the full moon.

The moonlight and the various lanterns hanging in the corners of the eaves pavilion complement each other, shining brightly, which is really dazzling.

In a private seat on the second floor of Yuelai Restaurant, there was a square table with snacks and dishes, and the two people sitting opposite each other looked solemn.

"I take my kindness to heart, but ...... This is ill-gotten gain!!" Suzaku sighed softly.

"Ill-gotten gains?" Lin Zhiwu asked in a low voice, and then said coldly: "The more the price of the country is in trouble, especially the price of rice and grain, the more it will rise, only in this way can we make a lot of money, this is the way of business!"

"The so-called businessman is to make money first! If he can even let go of the opportunity to make money, what kind of businessman will he be? Change his career and become a great benevolent person who helps the world!" Yu Lin Zhiwu, he only knows how can he do it if he has money but does not make money?

"What is ill-gotten gains? Those officials of the DPRK and China are not only greedy in peacetime, but they do not miss the slightest opportunity to be greedy even in times of war! They are greedy for the hard-earned money of their own people, and this is ill-gotten gains! Nowadays, what we want to earn is only the national wealth of other countries, and we have not earned the national wealth of our own people.

As soon as his tone changed, Lin Zhiwu said in a low voice: "Since those people were born in a country other than Daliang, then they should suffer prosperity and disaster together with their country. Even if they starve to death in the war, it was given to them by their country. If their country had not taken the initiative to start a war, they would not have faced the situation of rising rice and could not afford it until they starved to death. ”

Lin Zhiwu thought that if the lives of him and his younger brother Lin Zhisheng were not saved by Mrs. Zhu......

If Cheng Xiao hadn't committed suicide due to his negligence......

If Zhu Zimo hadn't let go of his younger brother Lin Zhisheng that day, he would have ended Lin Zhisheng's life with one sword......

If the qiē he has now was not given by Zhu Zimo, it was all earned by his own efforts......

Then, perhaps at some point, he will be kind enough to save the people of other countries who are about to face war, hunger and even death.

But there are not so many ifs in this world, and there are not so many ifs in life!

The lives of the brothers Lin Zhiwu and Lin Zhisheng were destined to be saved by Zhu Jing!

Cheng Xiao is also destined to commit suicide because of Lin Zhiwu's negligence!

Lin Zhisheng's betrayal was destined to be let go by Zhu Zimo because of Lin Zhiwu's loyalty!

And the qiē that Lin Zhiwu has now is also destined to be given by Zhu Zimo!

And fate is even more destined for Lin Zhiwu to repay Zhu Zimo with his life and his loyalty!

After a long time, Lin Zhiwu sighed and said: "Suzaku, after all these years, you should understand that you and I have a net worth and a life, all given by the master." Without the master, you and I are nothing! Not to mention the fine clothes and jade food like this now? people, you can be ungrateful, but for the master, can you be ungrateful?

Lin Zhiwu's voice landed for a long time, and Suzaku finally took a deep breath and spit it out gently, as if he had made some kind of decision.

Gradually putting away the trace of unbearable in his heart, Suzaku said firmly with a light in his eyes: "Suzaku understands. In this life, Suzaku will repay the master with all his loyalty! There will never be any unbearability and doubts about the master's decision!"

With a chuckle, Lin Zhiwu picked up the wine jar on the table and poured a bowl of wine for Suzaku himself.

The transparent and crystalline liquor flowed out purely, and the unique aroma of Du Kang's wine instantly spread, and the previous aroma of the wine became more and more rich and intoxicating.

Putting down the wine jar and smelling the intoxicating aroma of Du Kang wine, Lin Zhiwu smiled warmly: "It's rare for our brothers to get together in private, so don't think about it for the time being." As the saying goes, there is wine today and drunk today, and we can't waste this good wine. Today, let's have a drink open!

"Good. Don't get drunk!" Suzaku agreed with a smile.

Drinking the best Du Kang for fifty years, eating dishes that are still delicious although they are a little cold, Lin Zhiwu chatted with Suzaku like a homely chatter: "How is Zheng'er doing now?"

As he spoke, Lin Zhiwu put down the dishes and chopsticks, made a gesture of hugging the baby, and said with a smile: "I think when I first met Zheng'er, he was still a little little girl who had just left the swaddling clothes, and he couldn't even speak! Let alone walk! At that time, I hugged him, not to mention how nervous I was! I was really afraid that a person who would accidentally break such a small and fragile person! Speaking of which, I haven't seen Zheng'er for almost four years! I really miss him!"

Everyone has a warm and soft world in their hearts, and the same is true in Suzaku's heart.

Talking about his only son, Zhu Zizheng, Suzaku showed a kind fatherly smile on his face.

The tenderness in his eyes and the smile on the corner of his mouth cannot be compared to Suzaku who killed the lives of thousands of people with just one sentence.

Lowering his eyes and quietly looking at the bowl containing most of Du Kang's bowl on the table in front of him, Suzaku smiled gently: "Zheng'er has grown up a lot, and he looks like that, especially like his uncle when he was a child." At Zheng'er's current age, although there are times when he is naughty, most of the time he is very sensible. is able to run and jump, lively and cute, and can also memorize poems and miscellaneous essays to write big characters. Among children of the same age, Zheng'er's Danqing is also good. I thought that in another four or five years, it would be time to send Zheng'er to the academy. ”

"According to you, you are teaching like this...... Isn't it planning to send Zheng'er to participate in the imperial examination in the future and enter the treacherous court?" Listening to Suzaku's words, Lin Zhiwu couldn't help but ask after all.

If it was someone else, Lin Zhiwu would not ask the other party like this.

But Suzaku is different! Although they are not brothers, they are also brothers in distress.

However, Suzaku did not answer immediately, but only took a large sip of wine from the wine bowl in front of him.

Putting down the wine bowl and sighing, Suzaku Fang lowered his voice and said, "Since the day I decided to follow the master, the master told me all the backgrounds of the four of you. Presumably, Ye Ying has never hidden my background from you, and you should also know my family background back then. ”

After a pause, I heard Suzaku sigh, and then continued: "Although I didn't serve as an official and a half-post in the court because I was young, my father was an official and a first-grade master! The eldest brother is the general of the army from Erpin Town, who guards the frontier! Civil and military attaché, our family has occupied a position, and they can be regarded as important positions. ”

After another pause, he took a sip of wine from the wine bowl, and Suzaku continued: "Although there were some small thieves and bandits at the border back then, they were peaceful. The relationship with the neighboring countries is also harmonious, but the eldest brother is still loyal to his duties, and never dares to slack off to guard the frontier for the imperial court. Every year, the eldest brother only has the opportunity to go home to reunite with his family during the New Year's holidays, and in addition to the time spent on the road, the eldest brother usually returns to the frontier in only three or five days. ”

Lin Zhiwu nodded lightly: "I know all this." Even if you don't tell us, these things are recorded in the historical books. ”

I saw Suzaku pick up the wine bowl and take a big sip of wine before continuing: "I still remember that in the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, the eldest brother took a leave to go home for the holiday, and the sister-in-law spread the good news that she was pregnant less than a month after the eldest brother left. Then the cold winter came, and the second brother finally had to marry the second sister-in-law as he wished. And the eldest sister can leave the palace to reunite with her family in half a year. At that time, my father, not to mention being more happy. Since my mother died, my father has never been happier than he was then. Originally, it should have been a harmonious and prosperous family, but if it weren't for that femme fatale-hearted woman! If it weren't for her selfish desires, how could our Baili family be sentenced to be beheaded by a holy edict?! How could our Baili family's house be as full of vines and grass as it is now? Even the ancestral tablets that have been worshiped for generations can no longer be blatantly sacrificed!!"

In the end, Xu is remembered the sad past, Suzaku's love xù seemed a little excited, and the volume gradually increased.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a lantern festival in Pingyang City today, there were very few people who came to the restaurant to drink, and there were only a few people on the second floor of this restaurant, and those few people were still drunk and lying on their respective tables and falling asleep, otherwise, speaking at the volume of Suzaku, I am afraid that at this moment, the elegant seat where Lin Zhiwu and Suzaku are located has become the focus!

Seeing that Suzaku's unstable voice was getting higher, although he knew that no one here would hear Suzaku's words, Lin Zhiwu still immediately got up and leaned forward and quickly reached out to cover Suzaku's mouth.

Just when Suzaku was about to stretch out his hand and wave away Lin Zhiwu's palm, he only heard Lin Zhiwu's voice say in a low voice: "Don't say that your surname is Baili! There are very few people with the surname Baili in the Nine Kingdoms, and we in Daliang didn't have a person with the surname Baili twenty-four years ago! Those people with the original surname Baili either went to other countries or changed their surnames. You have to remember that the surname Baili was removed from our Daliang as early as twenty-four years ago!"

At least, twenty-four years have passed, and there is no longer anyone surnamed Baili in Liangxing County, Daliang, just because of the ban of that year!

In Daliang, everyone knows that before the ban is lifted, there will never be a person with the surname Baili within a radius of 100 miles from Liangxing County!

No matter which country the people with the surname of Baili are, even if they are high-ranking officials, they will not appear within a radius of 100 miles from Liangxing County, because the current emperor of Daliang does not allow it!

was interrupted by Lin Zhiwu halfway and reminded him verbally, Suzaku suddenly looked at Lin Zhiwu with a little apology in his eyes.

Seeing that Suzaku realized that he had gone too far, Lin Zhiwu let go of the hand covering Suzaku's mouth and sat back in his seat.
