Chapter Eighty-Five: The Lotus Pavilion
After Qi Yu came back from the palace, he brought news, saying that when the king heard that they were in the general's mansion at the moment, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately handed over the matter of the secret investigation of Hua Ning to them, just waiting for the next day to enter the palace to meet them once. All these reactions www.biquge.info Qi Yu expected and expected.
Because of the busy political affairs in those days, the chaos in the western border was undecided, and the ministers were not satisfied with whether to send troops, so the king postponed it for a few days. Finally, he ordered that after half a month, Qi Yu led the Lin family and their friends into the palace together, and they happened to witness what the famous Lin sisters and brothers were.
On the way back, Qi Yu sighed secretly in his heart - fortunately he came to the palace two days early, otherwise once the king has other masters he likes, then this plan will fall short. Now that the audience in the palace is a foregone conclusion, the four of them are also relieved, and it is not a problem to go a few days or a few days in the morning.
That night, Tang Guxi sat on the pavilion of the lotus garden, with a pool of residual lotus at his feet. There was a loud drum music in the distance, and it was so far away that if you didn't listen carefully, you really couldn't hear it. Now that the end of the year is approaching, the night market in Xuanyang City can be described as full of tricks, almost every night is full of singing and dancing, lively and extraordinary, and all kinds of strange activities take turns.
Lin Xun has been gathering everyone to go to the street to play, but unfortunately Lin Luo has no interest, she has already been there two days ago, so she doesn't want to go again. Qi Yu, as the host, was used to the activities that took place every year, but he couldn't stand Lin Xun's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and when the time came, he and Ye Ying accompanied him to the street.
The remnants of the lotus under his feet glowed in the moonlight, no matter how jubilant and lively the night market was outside, in this huge general's mansion, it was extremely deserted. Although he was treated favorably by General Qi Zhao, after all, he was under the fence, and he was no more comfortable than at home. She looked up at the full moon in the sky, and her thoughts seemed to drift away......
"Valley Creek."
Someone called her from behind, Tang Guxi turned around and saw Lin Luo standing behind him, holding a cloak in his hand.
"Forest?"
Lin Luo stepped forward slowly, handed the cloak to her hand, moved two steps to the right, and sat down next to her. She didn't say anything, just sat quietly, her eyes were indifferent, looking at the pool of residual lotus in front of her, her face was sad and joyless. It's as if there is no purpose in coming, and I just want to enjoy the scenery silently.
In the middle of the night, Tang Guxi tied his cloak on his shoulders, and his body was really warm. She turned her head to look at Lin Luo and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master." β
"Don't call me Master." Lin Luo's voice was very soft, and his eyes were still looking ahead, "In the past two months, I haven't taught you any martial arts, how dare you call yourself Master?" β
"That's easy to say." Tang Guxi smiled, "Anyway, there is nothing else to do in the General's Mansion in the past two days, and it will take a few days to enter the palace to meet us, so why don't we pick a good weather and go to the mountain behind the Qi Mansion to practice martial arts, how about it?" β
Lin Luo smiled faintly, "Okay." β
After sitting quietly for a while, Tang Guxi suddenly remembered the question that had been hidden in her heart, she turned her head to look at Lin Luo, "I have a question, I have always wanted to ask you and Lin Xun, I don't know you...... Will you tell me or not. β
Lin Luo turned his head sideways, "Say it." β
Tang Guxi took a deep breath, turned his head to look ahead, and said, "Your senior mother is Lin Xun's mother-in-law, and you grew up in the Lin family. So, don't you really know anything about your original home? Your biological parents don't know either? β
"I don't know, my sister never told me."
"Why?"
"She saidβ" Lin Luo paused and shook his head slightly, "She said that it was not yet time, and that she could probably tell me when she went back this time." β
"Then when did you come to the Lin family?"
"It should be...... Five or six years old. Lin Luoning thought about it, and his expression was a little uncertain.
"Five or six years old......" Tang Guxi muttered, "It stands to reason that you can remember some things at the age of five or six, so in your previous memory, you didn't-"
Before she finished speaking, she saw Lin Luo shake her head, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and her eyes were long-lasting, showing a bit of charm in the cold moonlight. Lin Luo didn't go to see her, and said in a slow voice: "When I was ten years old, I had an illness and almost died of it. It was Master and Mrs. who sought medical treatment everywhere and did their best to save me, but when I woke up, I found that I couldn't remember many things clearly. The most impressive thing is that I was led into the Lin family by a pair of hands, and the man entrusted me to the master and the master, and then left. She paused, "Nothing else." β
"By a person?" Tang Guxi was full of doubts, "Who is that person?" β
"I ...... I don't remember exactly. β
Tang Guxi looked at Lin Luo's side face in a daze, seeing that she was a little struggling and a little helpless to recall, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart, she laughed dryly twice, and said in a different tone: "Since you can't remember, then don't think about it." Anyway, after you go back, your master will naturally tell you, not to mention, in the past ten years, your master and sister must not have treated you badly, right? They taught you martial arts, taught you the exclusive swordsmanship of the Lin Sect, and made you far surpass Lin Xun in terms of martial arts. If you want me to see, if I had such a master and a master, I would have died of joy a long time ago. β
Hearing this, Lin Luo turned his head to glance at her and smiled lightly.
"Oops!" Tang Guxi suddenly screamed, his face panicked.
"How?" Lin Luo hurriedly turned his head.
"Since it's Lin Men's exclusive swordsmanship, ...... Then will your master let you teach me? This must be agreed by his old man, otherwise wouldn't itβ"
"Don't worry." Lin Luo's expression relaxed, "Master will agree." β
Tang Guxi was still a little unsure, "Will you really agree?" β
"Yes." Lin Luo nodded, "For you, it will." β
Hearing her say this, Tang Guxi relieved his heart, and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly when he thought of Fang Cai's own worries. She raised her eyes and looked around, only to see that the night around her was getting thicker and thicker, and the bright moon in the sky was obscured by clouds, half hidden and half visible, revealing a kind of hazy and illusory. The sound of drums from the street market in the distance was also much quieter, and the cloak on his body seemed to be useless, and the cold air gradually rushed into his body.
"Cold?" Lin Luo turned his head and asked her.
Tang Guxi laughed twice, tightened his cloak with both hands, and said: "I didn't expect Liangyu's cold winter wax moon to be so bitter and cold, but compared to Sheng Ge, it is still a little stronger." β
"If it's cold, go back." Lin Luo said that, then got up and stood up.
Tang Guxi had no choice but to stand up from the ground, exhaled two breaths of cold air, rubbed his hands, and saw that Lin Luo was still dressed in light clothes, and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you cold?" Why not wear a few more? β
Lin Luo was stunned for a moment, glanced at his body slowly, and said, "I'm used to it." β
With that, the two walked out of the pavilion and wanted to go back to their room. As soon as I got down the steps at the door, I saw Lin Xun and Qi Yu walking in from the moon gate on the side of the courtyard, the two had just come back from the night market, Lin Xun was talking about the fun things on the street, and he didn't notice the two of them for a while.
It was Qi Yu, smiling slightly with his hands behind his back, as if he was listening to Lin Xun intently, but his eyes stopped moving after catching a glimpse of the two of them. When Lin Xun saw him stop, he also stopped and looked forward.
"It's so late, you two haven't slept yet, what are you doing outside on a cold day?" Qi Yu asked, and walked up.
"Sister, you don't know that there are a lot of fun things in the night market today." Lin Xun followed, and said impatiently, "By the way, Tang Guxi, do you remember the windmill seller that day?" I say to you, to-night he has added a few more to his place, all sorts of things. Tsk, it's a shame that you don't go. β
Tang Guxi glanced at him and sneered, "Do you think everyone is the same as you Lin Da Shaoxia?" Possess a childlike innocence. β
"What about childlike innocence? It's better than aging before you get old. β
Tang Guxi ignored him anymore, glared at him and turned around and left. There were only three people left in the courtyard for a while, Lin Luo, Qi Yu and Lin Xun, Lin Xun was about to speak, but he stopped talking in time, he glanced at Qi Yu, and suddenly smiled: "Sister, Brother Qi, you talk, I'm too tired to run today, so I'll go back to the room first." β
"Wait." He was about to turn around, but Lin Luo stopped him, "Tomorrow I will go to the back mountain with Gu Xi to practice swords, and you will come with me." β
Lin Xun turned around, "Tomorrow you want to go to sword practice with her?" Why? β
"I promised her a long time ago, and I can't break my promise."
"Then you go with her, why do you have to call me?"
Lin Luo looked directly at him and said coldly: "Because since you came to the General's Mansion, you have a loose temperament and neglect to practice martial arts, and you either go to the streets to play or follow him around all day long. If Master had seen you like this, he would have locked you up a long time ago. β
"Hey-" Qi Yu raised his voice and looked at Lin Luo, "I'm wronged by what you said, it's obvious that Lin Xun has to stick to me all day long, I don't want to take him around...... Miss Lin spoke, don't hurt the innocent. β
Lin Luo ignored him and still looked at Lin Xun. Lin Xun wanted to refute a few words, but the senior sister moved his father out, knowing that the person he feared the most since he was a child was his father, even if his father was not in front of him now, but the words of the senior sister also brought him fear, not to mention that what she said seemed to have some truth.
He had no choice but to sigh and compromise: "Yes, yes, my sister is right, I'll go with me tomorrow." With that, he pouted and turned back into the house.
Lin Luo's gaze withdrew from him, and he turned around and was about to go back to the room, but when he just took a step, his arm was grabbed. She reacted quickly, and before she could turn back, her hand withdrew and at the same time greeted it, slamming her palm on Qi Yu's arm.
"Ouch......" Qi Yu pretended to have pain in his arm, and covered the place where he was hit with his other hand.
"Major General, please respect yourself." After Lin Luo finished speaking coldly, he turned around and walked towards the stage.
"Wait, I have a question in my mind and want to ask you." Qi Yu lowered his arm.
"What's the doubt?"
Qi Yu slowly stepped forward, came to the opposite side of Lin Luo, faced her, and asked, "Now you can tell me, who is Miss Tang?" β
Lin Luo's heart froze, he suddenly raised his head, his face was a little nervous, he looked around, and said in a low voice: "What do you say about this?" Didn't I tell you, she is the daughter of my master's old friend, and she was scattered to Shengge, and now my brother and I are going to bring her back. β
Qi Yu shook his head slightly, "You can't hide it from me." β
"Believe it or not, that's all I can say."
Qi Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at her exaggeratedly: "I've helped you get here, isn't it too unkind for you to hide something from me anymore?" β
Lin Luo's long eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes were slightly dim, he lowered his head and looked at the ground, and said no more. Qi Yu looked at her slightly embarrassed, and was about to give up, but she suddenly raised her head and said, "This is what I owe you, and I will repay it in the future." β
"I think it's better to forget it." Qi Yu chuckled, "If you want to pay it back, it's better to let me go to the back mountain with you tomorrow to practice swords." It just so happens that I have nothing to do in the past two days, and I haven't studied martial arts with Miss Lin for a long time, since I practice swords, let's go together, how about it? β
"You can go if you want, so why do you have to ask me? This back mountain is the territory of your Qi Mansion. β
Qi Yu smiled, "The girl is really refreshing, then it's decided, tomorrow is not the time, see you in the back mountain." He bowed slightly and arched his hand, "The girl is resting, Qi will go back." β
After Qi Yu left, Lin Luo was stunned for a moment, her eyes were like water in the cold night, quietly flowing in this ink, until she felt a chill on her body, and then walked towards the room.
