CHAPTER XXII
In the third round of this year's martial arts conference, the other person who won with Lin Xiaoyang turned out to be Lin Yu, the eldest brother of Lin Xiaoyang's mother!
Lin family and young sons...... They actually stood out from the third round of the competition together and successfully advanced to the final round of the martial arts alliance competition......
I have to say that the result announced by the heads of the four major martial arts families present after joint discussion was not expected by the martial arts heroes who came to participate in this martial arts conference. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Not to mention that for this martial arts conference, Lin Xiaoyang's appearance was an accident, let's just say that the two final candidates of this martial arts conference are actually from the same family, and they are also brothers of the same mother......
I have to say that even in the past so many martial arts conferences, even if there have been many unexpected situations, there has never been such a ...... What an unpredictable situation!!
Of course, although this unpredictable result surprised all the martial arts heroes who came to participate in this martial arts conference, it made all the martial arts heroes feel even more desperate: No matter how unexpected and unpredictable this result is, in short, the throne of this year's martial arts alliance leader belongs to their Lin family, but it is just the difference between whether this "martial arts alliance leader" is the eldest brother or the younger brother......
With the sound of the three earth-shattering gongs, in a sigh and exclamation, the third round of this year's martial arts conference as of today is officially over.
It's night. The moon stars are scarce.
Hayashi family Honjo. The main house.
In the brightly lit wing, in the minimalist outhouse, there are no servants waiting, only two people sitting and standing.
The seated man was a woman in a bun of Chaoyun, who sat upright on the main seat in the outhouse, wearing a lake-green straight-necked placket with narrow sleeves on her upper body, a reddish-brown dark silk pleated satin skirt on her lower body, and a pair of satin-embroidered shoes with lotus flowers on her feet.
Although the woman is old and has a few silver threads between her temples, the pair of Danfeng eyes that are still incomparably beautiful and divine under the erosion of time, as well as the face that has been well maintained all the year round, and the pair of slender white hands exposed outside the narrow sleeves, still vaguely reveal the abundance and beauty of her youth.
Under the light of the candlelight, the woman sitting on the main seat in the room looked extremely dignified and graceful, but the woman's face was too pale and faintly revealed a sense of alienation.
In the open space covered with a brocade carpet under the main seat, a figure of a man wearing a navy blue robe with a sword in his left hand, a high bundle of green silk, and a long blue shirt stood straight. took a closer look at the candle flame in the room, but saw that the man, it was Lin Xiaoyang!
In this strange silence, Lin Xiaoyang waved his fist at the woman sitting on the main seat, and asked respectfully in his clear and sunny voice, "I don't know what happened when the mother called the child late at night?"
The phrase "mother" lightly reveals the identity of the woman who sits on the main seat in the house.
That's right! That dignified and graceful woman is Lin Xiaoyang's biological mother, Yang Xinrui.
But seeing that side, Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, heard Lin Xiaoyang's question, first coughed and cleared her throat, and then opened her mouth and said in a somewhat indifferent tone: "Xiao Yang, you can successfully pass the first three competitions all the way, and I, as your mother, am naturally happy for you." As you must know, your eldest brother has passed the first three competitions all the way and advanced to the finals all the way, just like you......"
When Yang Xinrui's voice paused, Lin Xiaoyang, who was standing in the room, pursed his lips and smiled, and praised sincerely: "Well, the eldest brother is very powerful." ”
Although Lin Xiaoyang's praise was a little brief, as soon as he heard Lin Xiaoyang's praise, Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, still had her eyes lit up, and said to Lin Xiaoyang in an extremely proud tone: "Yes, you see, even you think your eldest brother is very powerful!"
Lin Xiaoyang, who was standing in the room, heard this, but just quietly looked at Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, and did not answer.
"Cough!" Xu felt that the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little awkward, Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, coughed a little uncomfortably, and then continued to use the previous bland and somewhat indifferent tone, and said to Lin Xiaoyang, who was standing below her: "I want to say, Xiao Yang, look, you are the youngest son in the family, but your eldest brother is the eldest son in the family, how many years older than you, you have eaten a few years more than you, walked a few more years, and knows much more things and truths than you."
In particular, your eldest brother has never been far from home since he was a child, and has been raised by your father himself, after your father fell ill, all the big and small things in the Lin family are taken care of by your eldest brother. You see that the Lin family can be so orderly now, thanks to your eldest brother's care!"
After a pause, Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, squinted her eyes, glanced at Lin Xiaoyang with a slightly meaningful look, and then continued to say in her bland and somewhat indifferent tone: "And you, not only are you young, but you have left home since you were a child, and you went to study art in the deep mountains and old forests where you don't know where, and you have been living an isolated life. Of course, now that you have finally returned home, I, as your mother, am naturally very happy.
Although you have been hiding from the world for more than ten years before you came out of the mountains, and your kung fu skills are indeed very good, but at the same time, you are a fledgling and have not been deeply involved in the world, and you do not understand the dangers of the rivers and lakes of this world! There are all kinds of people in this rivers and lakes, but they are no better than your inaccessible deep mountains and old forests. The water in this river and lake, it is deep!
Although I didn't personally see your first three competitions, I heard about them afterwards. Although your skills are still slightly inferior to your eldest brother, I am not worried that your eldest brother will lose to you, the younger brother, in the last competition. But, as your mother, I really don't want to see you two brothers fighting each other!"
After saying this long sentence, Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, seemed to feel that it was not enough, and then added with such emphasis: "Xiao Yang, can you understand your mother's words?"
After Yang Xinrui's words fell, no more voices were heard in this brightly lit room for a long time, so that the atmosphere was silent for a while, faintly a little weird.
"What does that mother mean......" Under the main seat, Lin Xiaoyang, who was standing in the brightly lit room, looked calmly at the mother who was sitting on the main seat in this room, and then Lin Xiaoyang pursed his lips and asked with a look of understanding or not.
At this moment, as soon as he heard Lin Xiaoyang's slightly hesitant words, Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, immediately looked a little unhappy, and even said something inadvertently with a sense of reproach: "Look at you kid, I said this so clearly, why don't you understand?"
Lin Xiaoyang, who was standing in the room, heard this, and immediately threw his fist at Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat.
Looking down at the brocade carpet under his feet, and looking carefully at the clearly visible lines on the carpet, Lin Xiaoyang calmly confessed: "Please also ask my mother to forgive her sins." The mother also knows that the child has grown up with his master in the deep mountains and old forests since he was a child, and he has never seen much of the world. If Mother has anything to say, please say it directly!"
Looking at Lin Xiaoyang, who was standing below her, from the moment she returned to the Lin family's home, until now, Lin Xiaoyang, who had always been well-behaved and respectful to her in words and deeds, Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, pursed her lips, and a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes suddenly showed a trace of hesitation, as if she was entangled in something.
However, the hint of hesitation in Yang Xinrui's eyes was fleeting, and then it was replaced by a more determined look than before.
"Ahem!" But Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly coughed lightly, and then said in a flat tone: "I mean, tomorrow you will rest as usual, and when the day after tomorrow, before the final competition begins, you will take the initiative to give up the competition! Xiao Yang, don't blame me for being a mother's partiality, it's really the position of the leader of this martial arts alliance...... It's not for you!"
After listening to Yang Xinrui's words, when Lin Xiaoyang was about to burst out of his mouth with a sentence of "why is it not suitable", he was swallowed by Lin Xiaoyang himself.
On that side, Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, couldn't wait for Lin Xiaoyang to answer for a long time, so she had to cough to hide the embarrassment that was gradually spreading in the room, and then went on: "Xiao Yang, you are my child, you can have a future, and I, as a mother, are naturally the happiest." However, you don't blame me, a mother, for despising you, with your ability......
Xiao Yang, I think you also know that the former martial arts alliance leader Aolong suffered a great disaster two years ago, and in the past two years, the heroes of the nine countries have no leader, so that the world is now chaotic...... Let's put it this way, even if you are allowed to sit in the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, you will definitely not be able to lead the martial arts heroes to eliminate the demons!
However, if your eldest brother comes to be the leader of this martial arts alliance, it will be very different. Your eldest brother is not only older than you, but there are also far more people who know each other in the rivers and lakes of the Nine Kingdoms than you. Even if you don't mention your eldest brother's own connections, just talking about the status of our Lin family in the rivers and lakes, and the fact that your eldest brother is the eldest son of our Lin family, your eldest brother is more suitable than you to sit in the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance. ”
Xu is talking a lot, a little dry mouth, Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, paused her voice, picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup on the table in her hand, opened the lid, took a sip of the already cold tea in the cup, and then said again: "Besides, your eldest brother has paid a lot for our entire Lin family over the years, but he has never received more than half a decent return." Especially after your father fell ill, your eldest brother worked hard for this family and the people in this family, but he never complained.
Since you, the younger brother, have enjoyed the glory of the Lin family for nothing, and now you are humble and the eldest brother is reasonable. You take the initiative to take a step back and let your eldest brother sit on the throne of the martial arts alliance leader smoothly, and the external definition will praise you for being a brother and brother, isn't this a beautiful thing?
When your eldest brother becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance, although you are not qualified to command the heroes, you are also the younger brother of the master of the martial arts alliance. In the future, when you walk on the rivers and lakes, with the name of your eldest brother martial arts alliance leader, you can also mix well and mix well, and there will be no such long-sighted people to provoke you. ”
This long remark must have been pondered by Yang Xinrui several times in advance, otherwise how could he speak so fluently and smoothly, without even the slightest hesitation or stumbling?
And after Yang Xinrui finally stopped hiding and told her true purpose of recruiting Lin Xiaoyang to come tonight, the brightly lit room fell into a wordless silence again.
After a long time, in the eerily quiet room, a clear and sunny voice sounded: "Mother, the child has a question, can you ask the mother?"
After asking like this, Lin Xiaoyang, who was standing in the room, stopped talking, and only quietly looked at Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, and the look on the handsome face was extremely calm.
On that side, Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, was to subconsciously frown when she heard this, and it was not difficult to see that Yang Xinrui was very dissatisfied with Lin Xiaoyang being so uncooperative with her.
However, Yang Xinrui did not argue with Lin Xiaoyang because of this, and only nodded in a flat tone: "Well, you ask." ”
Looking at Yang Xinrui sitting on the main seat with a calm expression, Lin Xiaoyang slowly opened his mouth and asked slowly, word by word: "Mother, since you said that the child's skills are slightly inferior to the eldest brother, and the mother is not worried that the eldest brother will lose to me, the younger brother, then the child, may I ask the mother, why does the mother want the child to give up the competition?"
Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, heard this, and a pair of willow eyebrows immediately wrinkled even more, but Yang Xinrui still couldn't bear it, and still said in a flat tone: "You kid, didn't I say it just now, I don't want to see you two brothers meet each other." ”
"Mother, according to the rules of the martial arts conference, all competitions are just point-to-point competitions, how can they be regarded as swords and soldiers?" As if he didn't understand the meaning of Yang Xinrui's words, Lin Xiaoyang, who was standing in the room, still opened his mouth calmly, and asked slowly, word by word.
On that side, Yang Xinrui, who was sitting on the main seat, heard this, and immediately glared at Lin Xiaoyang angrily without concealing it, and between the opening and closing of her red lips, she actually scolded Lin Xiaoyang in a sharp tone: "You are a younger brother, but you are competing with your eldest brother on the same stage, this is not a sword and soldier!!"
When Lin Xiaoyang heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but silently lowered his head and looked at the one he was holding in his left hand, the ink-colored hilt was hollowed out and carved into the shape of a dragon's head, and the dragon's eye was also inlaid with a golden gem of the dragon roaring sword.
