Chapter 390: Secrets
Lin Jun walked into Old Man Lin's study, it was dusk at this moment, dinner was being prepared, and suddenly received a message from Lin Mo, saying that the old man wanted to see him. (Good Novel)
The old man's study, Lin Jun has been here, and there are still some vague impressions in his memory.
Large, quiet, and with a simple atmosphere, except for the wide rows of bookcases on both sides, the room seems a little empty, with few sundries, a desk, which has become a desk, and it looks like it has been used for many years, and the desktop has been wiped shiny.
The soft light of the lamp has dispersed, and the old man's eyes and eyesight are not very good, and at this moment, the light has been turned on.
Hearing the footsteps, the old man raised his head and greeted softly: "Thirteen, sit down, come to you, there is something I need to talk to you about, there were people before, it was not very convenient." ”
Lin Jun was not polite, sat down opposite the desk, the old man let go of the information in his hand, took off his reading glasses, and said: "There is tea here, I want to drink it myself, I drove you out of the Lin family at the beginning, looking back on it, it has been ten years, ten years, time flies really fast, you have grown up now." ”
These words are not very pleasant to say, and Old Man Lin does not seem to deliberately hide it, back then, it was indeed he who drove Lin Jun out.
Lin Jun didn't respond, but poured himself a cup of tea, since he had something to say, he was willing to listen quietly.
"Look at these things!" The old man first took out a file bag from the drawer and put it in front of Lin Jun, Lin Jun originally wanted to ask what it was, but in the end he didn't ask, since he let him see it, he just looked at it, what is it, he will know it at a glance.
The file bag was opened, Lin Jun's expression was slightly shocked, this information turned out to be about her mother, which was hard to believe, the old man seemed to want to use these materials to tell him something.
"This is my mother?"
"Yes, this is your mother, her name is Wan Niang, I was against the union between her and your father, but you also know that the persistence of young people, as an adult, there is no way to stop it many times, in fact, from beginning to end, I have never accepted your mother."
Lin Jun asked puzzledly: "This is your adult's grudge, it seems to have nothing to do with me, and besides, I am not in the Lin family now." ”
Whether it is the grandfather in front of him or the mother he has never met, Lin Jun does not have too many feelings, he has love in his heart, but his love is for those women who love him, life is like this, it is enough.
In his previous life, he was an orphan, and in this life, he is satisfied with so many women who love him. ()
The old man looked at him, his voice became a little erratic, and said: "It has a relationship, of course it has a relationship, your expulsion from the Lin family, and your father's death, all have a lot to do with your mother." ”
Lin Jun looked stunned, slowly let go, took a sip of tea, calmed his mood, and asked, "Old man, what do you want to say?" ”
"Because your mother is a member of the Wu Clan, they are more dangerous to the city and the Eastern Empire than the martial world, you know why in the face of the demands of the martial world, we retreat step by step, step by step, because, even the empire, is not 100% sure, facing two powerful enemies at the same time."
"Wu Clan, what kind of power is that?"
Lin Jun's question, the old man had no way to answer, and said: "Wu clan, more than 20 years ago, I only began to notice them, they are different from the martial world, the martial world and the city, are two different levels, clearly distinguished, but the Wu clan, from the beginning, has been around us, except for themselves, no one knows who is the Wu clan." ”
Lin Jun was puzzled and said: "There are fifty-six ethnic groups in the empire, and there seems to be nothing remarkable about one more Wu clan. ”
The old man nodded and said: "Before, I also thought so, but back then, your father discovered a big secret, and his death was actually because of this secret, the discovery of this secret, very accidental, it was very shocking and frightening at the time, even if it was my old man, I didn't expect that the witch clan's lurking in the empire was so deep that your father was completely covered up and sacrificed when he showed his feet, and even he sacrificed and was charged with being a traitor, just because some forces were in it, and they did their tricks." ”
"Over the years, the empire has swallowed its anger towards the martial world, and it is precisely in order to find out the existence of the Wu clan, and the outside needs to be settled first, and the internal is unstable, and the only way to fight with the martial world is to fail."
"I had doubts about your mother back then, but in addition to this suspicion, she did a good job, whether it was a wife, a daughter-in-law, or a mother, she was the best, and because of this, my old man became more and more worried, even my Lin family was infiltrated, not to mention other families, although this is just a hypothesis, but it is very likely that most of the power of the empire is already in the hands of the Wu clan."
When he said this, Lin Jun was very surprised, this is simply incredible.
Historical experience tells us that there is no undefeated dynasty in the world, a long time must be united, a long time must be divided, one dynasty replaces another dynasty, all in exchange for blood, a hundred years ago, the glory of the Han people, also from the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, but if this Wu clan really infiltrated, in this way to obtain the power of the country, it is really too incredible, no one would have thought.
"The death of your father hit me hard, so I forced your mother to leave, to be honest, in fact, my original intention was to kill her, a hundred, but, I can't do it, because you are my grandson, if your mother is a member of the Wu clan, then you are also the blood of the Wu clan, I can only exile you."
Lin Jun's heart moved, and he said, "That's why you drove me out of the Lin family." ”
The old man said: "Yes, this is the real reason, what cowardice is unbearable, just to give the outside a reasonable reason." ”
Lin Jun said: "Okay, this matter has passed, I don't blame you, whether it is the martial arts world or the Wu clan, in fact, it doesn't have much to do with me, I just want to live my own life and grudge with the martial world, just because they provoked me, in fact, I don't like to kill people very much." ”
The old man looked at Lin Jun, his face was a little indifferent, and said: "If you don't kill people, people will kill you, there is not so much truth to talk about in this world, thirteen, if it weren't for your sudden rise, which gave us old guys hope, or we are still tolerating, maybe until we die, but since you have appeared, you have to take the responsibility that belongs to you." ”
Lin Jun smiled and said, "Your requirements are too high, I don't seem to have such an obligation, I just want to live my life peacefully." ”
"Once, I also thought like this, let you leave the family, leave the capital, and go to live an ordinary life, but the problem is, you have stood up and stood at the peak, even if you don't do anything, you still have countless troubles, you can disown the Lin family, don't recognize me as an old man, but there is one thing, you must know, you are the Lin family, your surname is Lin, you are still a citizen of this empire, you must protect it, this is not only for you, but also for thousands of people like you, who want to live a plain life."
"Lin Jun, your mother may be coming back soon."
This short sentence made Lin Jun want to say something, but he held it back again.
"I have never really understood your mother, maybe you can, maybe one day, you need to make a choice between your mother and me, Lin Jun, you have to have such a mental preparation."
Lin Jun smiled coldly and said: "Why, you are my grandfather, she is my mother, but I don't owe you anything, why should I choose, I don't want any of them, whoever dares to provoke me, I will kill him." ”
Yes, Lin Jun is very angry, there is no love, only indifferent choices, he has no such interest in playing this kind of game with them.
The old man's expression was very dull, he didn't speak for a long time, he knew that Lin Jun was very angry, but these things, he had to say, although he was in the empire and held great power, he didn't say that he could do whatever he wanted, but for the sake of the empire, for the sake of this country, he had to do it.
He sighed, his expression darkened a little.
"I'm already old, I can't hold on anymore, I sue you today, I am going to hand over these responsibilities to you, as everyone in the Lin family, they have the responsibility to protect this country, Lin Jun, you are no exception, your father died because of this, you should find the answer and seek justice for him."
As a son, this is indeed what should be done, but the problem is that Lin Jun was reborn in two lifetimes, and the soul in Lin Jun's body is no longer him.
Father, mother, and grandfather in front of him, fundamentally speaking, really have nothing to do with Lin Jun at all.
"You are now a banner, many people are watching you, your every move can affect their choice, only you can gather this power, the power of the empire, the power of the people, thirteen, this is also the fate that you can't escape, my old man has already given you freedom, but you, come back by yourself, this qiē, is all providence, destined."
Lin Jun stood up, he didn't even look at the old man, to be honest, his heart was a little messy, he was not prepared for these things at all, he didn't feel that he was God and could save the world, he was just an ordinary person, guarding his own one-third of an acre, looking at his beloved, happy to old age.
This kind of vigorous thing, let's leave it to those heroes to do!
Lin Jun didn't know that some things, just like the old man said, were fate, as early as ten years ago, the old man had given him a chance, exile was not a kind of giving up, but a kind of giving, but at that time, Lin Jun didn't understand it very well, but now, when he understood, it was too late.
Because the wheel of life that belongs to him has begun to turn, and there is no escape.
"Lin Jun, what's wrong with you, your face doesn't seem to be very good." Seeing Lin Jun coming back, Ling Feirou asked with concern.
Lin Jun took her hand, as if seeking a comfort, and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired, Fei Rou, get ready, tomorrow, let's go home, I've been in Beijing for so long, I'm a little homesick." ”
Ling Feirou didn't ask anything, smiled and said, "Okay, I'll book a ticket for tomorrow, and tomorrow, we'll go home." ”
