Troubled Times Chapter 25 Mutual Promises
"Brother, are you sure the person we're looking for is here? ”
Xu Yang didn't care about his sister's complaints, but still walked along the mountain road. Yun Luoxuan didn't say anything, just walked and enjoyed the surrounding scenery.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Xu Yue could only close her mouth and continue to climb the mountain.
"Speaking of Brother Xu, do you know where this is?" Yun Luoxuan suddenly asked.
Hearing the young lady's question, Xu Yang finally spoke up, "This is Qiumen Mountain, which is a relatively high mountain in the south, because of the steep terrain, few people generally come here, and it is said that in winter, there is often heavy snow here, and it is extremely cold." So no one has settled here. ”
Yun Luoxuan looked at the beautiful environment around her, and couldn't help but sigh: "But the scenery here is quite beautiful, green water and green mountains, fresh air, you listen, and this crisp birdsong." I think this place is pretty good. ”
Xu Yang also nodded and said: "It is said that the scenery of the four seasons here has its own characteristics, and there are many changes in a year, and the creatures here are also particularly colorful. It's a paradise away from humans. ”
Suddenly, a colorful butterfly landed on Yun Luoxuan's shoulder, fluttering its wings, as if welcoming this distant visitor.
When Xu Yue saw it, she said a little jealously: "It must have been attracted by Miss's beauty, and male creatures are not good things." This made Xu Yang's body tremble.
Yun Luoxuan couldn't help laughing softly: "Xiaoyue, you are too arbitrary." And you're pretty too, don't I remember that a lot of sons have come to date you?"
Xu Yue said solemnly: "It's those guys, they spend all day and night, their martial arts are not good at practice, they can't even beat me, and they still want to chase me, but there is no door." ”
"Then what kind of person do you want?" Yun Luoxuan asked curiously.
Xu Yue thought for a while and replied: "First of all, if you have good martial arts, you have to be better than me, no, you have to be better than my brother, but you can't be more powerful than the two of us joining forces, otherwise I will be bullied by him." Secondly, he has to have ideals, I don't want to marry a guy who has no future, preferably a big general. And then what about ......"
"Well, don't say it, I guess you won't be able to get married in your life. Xu Yang turned his head and said lightly.
"Hey, how can you say anything, I'm your sister anyway. ”
Yun Luoxuan grabbed Xu Yue and comforted: "Okay, you don't know your brother yet, the knife mouth is tofu heart, it is estimated that you will ask someone to help you find a partner when you go back." ”
"I don't believe him, by the way, Sister Luoxuan, what do you like? I think, there is no man in this world who can be worthy of you. ”
Yun Luoxuan was suddenly stunned, "Me?"
However, Xu Yang interrupted the conversation between the two, "We've arrived." ”
The three of them were greeted by two simple mud houses, surrounded by half-human-high branches. In the courtyard stood two figures.
Yun Luoxuan walked in first, greeted with a smile, "Long time no see, Sect Master Hai, and Xiao Ai." ”
That's right, the people standing in the courtyard at this time are none other than Lin Ai, the new head of the Lin family, and Hai Tianya, the first master of the Lin family.
"Sister Yun has become more beautiful. Lin Ai also stepped forward and said.
When the two of them had almost exchanged pleasantries, Hai Tianya stepped forward and asked mysteriously, "Does Princess Yun know what this place is?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the residence of the Medicine Saint's predecessors. ”
Hai Tianya nodded, indicating that it was correct.
Yun Luoxuan then asked: "I don't know where the predecessor of the Medicine Saint is now, and it is my regret that Luo Xuan failed to thank him in person for the kindness of the past. ”
Hai Tianya said lightly: "Come with me." With that, he led a few people to the back of the house.
There was no medicine saint that Yun Luoxuan expected. There is only one tombstone engraved with the tomb of Li Baicao. The moment she saw this stele, Yun Luoxuan understood something.
He didn't say anything, just walked over silently and knelt down in front of the tombstone. The white skirt was also stained with weeds and dirt on the ground, but Yun Luoxuan didn't care, but leaned over and lowered her forehead and stuck it to the ground. After kowtowing ten times, Yun Luoxuan slowly stood up.
Xu Yue quickly handed over a handkerchief. Yun Luoxuan shook her hand to refuse, and said very seriously: "The flowers and plants around the Medicine Saint are much cleaner than ours. ”
After Hai Tianya saw all this, he said in a deep voice: "It is said that Her Royal Highness Princess Yun of the Heavenly Kingdom is broad-minded and kind to others, and everyone is willing to get along with her, and I have seen it this time." ”
Yun Luoxuan smiled modestly: "Grandmaster Hai has won the award, not to mention that the predecessors of the Medicine Saint saved my father's life, just by virtue of his feat of traveling all over the world and ruling the world, it is also worthy of Yun Luoxuan kowtowing in front of his tomb to mourn." ”
"I hope you remember the promise you made back then. ”
"Remember, I wouldn't have come here anyway. ”
Saying that, Hai Tianya also walked to the tombstone and said slowly: "Back then, you came thousands of miles to find me, hoping to know the whereabouts of Brother Baicao. And I didn't tell you where he was because of my agreement with him. However, you made a promise to help the Lin family in a critical time, and I revealed the news that Big Brother Baicao was in Tyumen City. Now is the time for you to deliver on your promises. ”
"So what do you want me to do?"
"If the Kingdom of Song attacks the Song State today, the Song State that has lost the Yang and Deng families does not have the strength to fight against the Heavenly Kingdom at all, and it is only a matter of time before the Song State is destroyed, but the real value of the Song State is the commercial channels and huge wealth it masters. Although the commercial development of the Heavenly Kingdom was second only to that of the Song Kingdom, it was impossible to thoroughly digest and master the economy of the Song Kingdom without ten years. Lin Ai said slowly.
Yun Luoxuan didn't express doubts, just looked at Lin Ai with a smile, "And then?"
Lin Ai continued: "But with the help of the Lin family, it will be different. The Lin family's economic strength in the Song Kingdom is second only to the royal family and the Qian family, and the history is even longer, we have almost all their business information, and with our help, it will take two years at most for the Heavenly Kingdom to completely grasp the economy of the Song Kingdom, and thus master the economic lifeline of the entire continent. ”
After listening, Yun Luoxuan asked rhetorically, "Then what do you need?"
Lin Ai hesitated for a while, and finally said: "We hope that the Kingdom of Heaven can ensure that the Lin family's business will not be affected and continue to develop, of course, after the Kingdom of Heaven occupies the Kingdom of Song, we will announce that we will join the Kingdom of Heaven and become a part of the Kingdom of Heaven." ”
After Lin Ai finished speaking, she looked at Yun Luoxuan silently, although she was very calm on the surface, but in fact, it could be seen from her eyes that Lin Ai was very nervous at this time. After all, it is a major event about the entire Lin family, if it were not for the rejection of the Qian family, it would have cut off many business routes for the Lin family. The Lin family will not finally choose to join the enemy, after all, no one wants to be a traitor, but in order for the Lin family to survive, Lin Ai can only choose this path under pressure.
Looking at the nervous Lin Ai, Yun Luoxuan took out the handkerchief just now, stretched it out to Lin Ai's forehead, and helped her wipe the sweat that had not yet flowed, "I agree to your request." ”
"Really?"
"Of course, there's no reason for me to refuse a promise from a trusted head of the house. Yun Luoxuan affirmed.
"Thank you, Sister Yun. I also believe in your promise. Lin Ai said happily.
Then, the two discussed the details again, and by the time everything was almost finished, it was almost dusk.
"Then we'll leave first, Princess Yun, and we'll have a date later. After speaking, Hai Tianya left with Lin Ai.
After they walked away, Xu Yang raised his own question: "Miss, the rights given to the Lin family are too great, if their development is not restricted, in a few years, the Lin family will inevitably become a big family that is not weaker than the Lan family." ”
Yun Luoxuan said as she walked, "That's right, but that's exactly what we're for. However, it's really hard to say about the future, we just need to know that we need the help of the Lin family at the moment. ”
"Miss is far-sighted, Xu Yang is too worried. ”
Yun Luoxuan walked to a room and slowly pushed open the wooden door that was not closed. A small bedroom unfolded before her eyes. There was no over-decoration of the house, just a homemade wooden bed, a wooden table with an oil lamp, and a simple cupboard.
Walking in, a pile of dust hits your face. Yun Luoxuan raised her hand to cover it. Then she slowly approached, and suddenly she saw that there seemed to be a few crooked words on the head of the bed.
Gently brushing away the dust on it with her hand, Yun Luoxuan barely made out what was written on it.
"In order to protect Sister Yun, I must become the strongest martial artist in the world. ”
This is the slogan engraved on his bedside by Li Qiutong ten years ago, and he hoped that this sentence would continue to inspire him not to give up martial arts. It's a pity that he never dreamed that his words would be seen by Sister Yun, who he had been thinking about for a long time.
Yun Luoxuan looked at these words, couldn't help but smile slightly, and gradually recalled the encounter with that brave child back then.
"Who wrote this, and for what, I want to become the strongest martial artist in the world, it must be an ignorant child who daydreams all day long. Xu Yue, who didn't see the cloud word clearly, sneered.
"A child's dream is fun, what if it comes true. ”
"If he can really set foot on the top of the martial arts, I, Xu Yue, will be a maid for him for the rest of his life, serving tea and water, cleaning the house, I will do whatever he asks me to do. Xu Yue still looked down on this arrogant child.
Yun Luoxuan smiled, "Let's go, let's go back to the city, I hope I will have the opportunity to meet this child in the future." ”
"When I met him, I must have laughed at him. What the first in the world. ”
"Don't really be a maid for others then. ”
"How is it possible, is it so easy at the top of the martial arts?"
The three of them also embarked on the road down the mountain, and the Tyumen Mountain was quiet again.
At this time, Li Qiutong, who was far away in the Nanban tribe, suddenly sneezed.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you, did you catch a cold last night?"
"No way, how can my body catch a cold. ”
"That's a girl thinking about you. ”
"Miss me, girl? It can't be Lin Ai. ”
"Who is Lin Ai, it won't be a sister-in-law. ”
"your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law is not her. ”
"Big brother, you're a bit complicated. ”
"Don't talk nonsense. ”
