"I'm afraid you'll leave without saying goodbye. If you have to leave so early, the emperor will keep you, and if you insist on doing so in your heart, but you can't avoid the constraints of the situation, it is not difficult for you to think of doing so. Liu Sheng took a deep breath when he said this, and when he spoke again, his voice sank: "I'm scared, I don't know where the first and second groups will go in the future by then?" ”

Knowing what Liu Sheng was afraid of, Lin Shan chuckled and said, "So it makes you scared?" ”

He lowered his head and continued to sharpen the thin wooden stick in his hand with a knife, and continued in a slow tone: "You must know one thing in your heart, that is, the final obedient person of the second group is His Majesty, the emperor of the Zhao Kingdom. Now I am just acting on behalf of the power, if I don't care about it in the future, you will just have one less person to handle it and directly obey the order of the Son of Heaven. At that time, you may be incorporated into Ouchi, but this premise will at least be after Aokawa is done. But then you may be able to perform an errand much easier than it is with me now. ”

After listening to Lin Shan's words, Liu Sheng suddenly strode back to the table from the door. She moved her lips, and finally lowered her voice without holding back: "Brother Lin, have you ever thought about whether we are willing to do this? You feel depressed when you think of returning to Beijing, do you know that I am also depressed when I hear that there is a retreat in your words? Most of the people in the first and second groups are gathered by you, they have never been to Kyoto, and they have never seen the emperor's appearance, and I am afraid that many of them prefer to follow you than to return to Beijing to be sealed, even if it is to go to the north to dig stones and mud to build a fortified city. ”

As Liu Sheng said this, he saw Lin Shan's fingers pinching the knife against the sharp edge of the wooden strip and crooked it without warning, so that the sharp carbon core that had just been cut out of the wooden strip was cut off Qi Qiqi. She suddenly realized something and immediately shut her mouth.

Lin Shan's gaze paused at the cut of the severed refill. He suddenly raised his head, looked into Liu Sheng's eyes, and froze for a few breaths, before he said word by word: "If what you just said falls into the ears of someone with a heart, do you know that the whole group will be implicated?" ”

Yanagi was stunned for a moment. Immediately, she suddenly raised her eyebrows slightly and said seriously: "Xiao Yanagi knows that there are some things that can't be said casually. But something like this, Brother Lin can say to Xiao Liu, why can't you let me say it in front of you? ”

In the face of Liu Sheng's words, not only did not retreat, but became more powerful. Lin Shan fell silent. Silent, he continued to sharpen his carbon core pen, and it was not until he sharpened the tip of one carbon pen again that he put the knife down. After sighing, Wen Yan said: "It is a sure result that one group and two groups are incorporated into Ouchi, and it is also the best result. If you don't like it, make up your mind. Then when Qingchuan's matter is over, I'll help you get out of the group! ”

When Liu Sheng heard this, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Without waiting for her to speak again, she heard Lin Shan smile slightly and then said: "It's impossible for me to disband the whole group, but if it's just for you, for me, I can still guarantee that I will do what I say." Because of the woman who is married. It's not appropriate to do things like listening to people at night. ”

When Liu Sheng first heard what Lin Shan said, a hint of joy appeared on his face. But soon that glimmer of joy turned into a touch of embarrassment. In the end, Yanagi opened his mouth with a red face, but only spit out a meaningless word with a somewhat strange tone: "Huh? ”

Lin Shan saw Liu Sheng's blushing and embarrassed expression, and a hint of interest appeared in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated.

In fact, as early as more than a year ago, he knew from Lu Sheng's words that when the relationship between Liu Sheng and Luo Qing gradually became closer, he was ready to find time to make fun of the two of them about this matter. But now, when he confronted him with this matter in front of Yanagi, he suddenly stopped joking.

He took out another thin wooden strip of carbon core pen from the drawer, and then began to sharpen, while saying with a faint smile on his face: "You go back to the group first and stay at ease." However, if you can't wait to get things done before I get back, don't forget to leave me a glass of wine! After a slight pause, he added: "Don't tell me, you don't know who I'm talking about." ”

Seeing that he had said everything to this, Liu Sheng couldn't say anything more, so he coughed dryly and prepared to retreat. And when her gaze paused on the second carbon core pen that Lin Shan was sharpening in his hand, after a little consideration, she said: "Brother Lin, there are still three or four hours before dawn, while it is still early, you can rest first!" ”

Lin Shan nodded: "I know." ”

After Liu Sheng left, Lin Shan took out a third carbon core pen from the drawer, and after the thin-bladed knife in his hand was quickly sharpened a dozen times, its sharp tip appeared. If there were other people in the study at this time, it would not be difficult to find that the carbon core of this pen was much thicker than the two that were taken out before.

After sharpening three pens, Lin Shan took out a brown paper bag from the drawer, and took out a piece of white paper and a wooden ruler from it. Then he looked at the blank sheet of paper that lay on the table, sat down in his chair and closed his eyes and fell into a meditative state.

After the tea, he opened his eyes and stood up, pressed the wooden ruler on the white paper, and then held a fine-core pen, with a cautious expression but very quickly leaning on the ruler, and scratched on the paper.

About half an hour later, he threw down two thin wooden pens that had sharpened the original carbon core from repeated strokes, and pushed aside the wooden ruler printed on the paper. At this time, dozens of staggered straight lines of varying lengths had appeared on the original blank paper. The lines drawn by the carbon core pen are slightly different from the traces of ink on the paper, and if you look closely, you will find that the carbon marks can refract the light emitted by the candle on the table, and I don't know if it is because of the carbon core problem or the paper.

Looking at the somewhat chaotic lines on the paper, Lin Shan closed his eyes at first, as if he was silently clearing his mind and brewing something. After a few breaths, he opened his eyes, then picked up the wooden pen on the table, which was finally sharpened with a slightly thicker carbon core, and traced directly on the paper without relying on a wooden ruler.

Because of the different refills of this pen, his brushstrokes left a thicker mark on the paper than the lines he had previously drawn with the two fine-core pens, and they also appeared darker in color. This makes it easy to focus on the figure he drew with the third thick core pen at first glance, and naturally ignore the intricate but faint lines that were first drawn on the paper.

If insiders see Lin Shan's move. It must not be difficult to understand that the chaotic thin lines that Lin Shan began to draw were just a supplement. The lines that he is now redrawing and connecting with the help of auxiliary lines are the real figures that will be revealed on this paper.

In the process of Lin Shan's drawing, he sharpened the pen in his hand several times with a knife. By the time the drawing was finished, the carbon core pen in his hand had been reduced to a quarter of its original length. It's about to run out of hands.

After doing this, Lin Shan sat back in his chair. I just closed my eyes and rested for a while. Then he opened his eyes and looked down to find a small clay vase in the drawer, rolled up the freshly drawn drawing on the table with one hand, and got up and walked out of the study.

Then I went to the kitchen and fetched a basin of water. He dissolved the pale green liquid in the porcelain vase in his hand, and threw the paper into it. Then he picked out a thin branch of wood and pressed the paper several times in a basin of water. Wait until you make sure that the paper has been completely soaked with the 'potion'. He took the basin to the clothesline in the backyard and spread out the piece of paper and hung it on the rope like drying clothes.

It wasn't until he had done this in one breath that Lin Shan stood by the courtyard wall. His shoulders slowly relaxed against the courtyard wall.

Looking at the paper that hung on the rope, only dripping a few drops of water at the beginning, and then began to dry very strangely, a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. There was no relief, no joy, just a little playfulness in this smile. He was just laughing at something funny, so his face quickly returned to his usual calmness.

This rope has been used by Lai to dry clothes for almost a decade. And the last time it was used by the owner of this house, it was to dry paper. Isn't it something special, a little funny?

The paper contained in the kraft paper bag is specially used for the drawing of forest cedars. It's slightly thicker than regular writing paper, and the material itself has some oily qualities, which make it less ink-friendly, but when it's thrown into water, it's harder to break.

And the bottle of potion has a certain ingredient in the tung oil used by fishermen to brush the planks of the boat, and later used as a military map to make zuò maps, taking advantage of the advantages that the items it has soaked can be more wear-resistant and moth-proof.

Later, because Lin Shan used a carbon core pen for drawing, this potion was improved by a group of his subordinates, and its properties became that it could also fix the toner on paper. After mixing a mineral powder with tung oil as the base, the originally clear liquid medicine has a slight color, and the light light auxiliary lines on the soaked drawings are lighter because the paper has become yellowed from the original white, but the handwriting of the pattern that has been retraced with a thick core pen has become more obvious.

Lin Shan, who was leaning against the courtyard wall, stood quietly for a while, and the drawing hanging on the rope was rapidly drying. At this moment, a waning moon finally came out of the clouds of the night sky, and the cool moonlight sprinkled on the paper, and the paper soaked in potion seemed to be dried by the moonlight.

Lin Shan slowly looked up at the sky, there were many clouds in the sky tonight, and the brilliance of the stars was also hindered by it, even the bright moon of the Lord of the Night Sky, its bright light seemed intermittent because of it. At this moment, the bright moon finally had a short time to appear from the clouds, which made the originally plain moonlight suddenly become extremely silvery, making people feel like sunshine in their hearts for a moment.

And this round of moonless clouds broke out, but it made Lin Shan think of the scene of standing on the hillside and watching the sun after the rain that year.

Only at that time, the rope was hung with clothes; Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it is a clean and bright mountain forest washed by heavy rain; The rest in the room was a woman with an unfamiliar face, but she drank very freely.

And now, what is hanging on the rope is a drawing that may be related to the life and death of some people, and I don't know how many hidden tigers live in Xingjia Village under the moonlight? Inside the house, there were two people who were forcibly put down by the smoke.

Things are easy, people are not. Lin Shan silently read four words in his heart, then took a deep breath, forcibly got rid of the trace of sadness in his heart, and his eyes left the missing moon in the sky. After estimating the hour, he stepped into the house and turned around and walked into Mo Ye's room.

PS：

Although the historical background of this article is completely overhead, it still belongs to the era of cold weapons. Due to industrial problems, the carbon core pen used by Lin Shan in the article mimics the construction of a pencil, but its quality is actually a distance from the most ordinary modern pencils.

In addition, considering that there was basically no concept of erasers in ancient times, I checked the history of erasers, and it was really hard to think of a replacement. Therefore, if you must wipe your handwriting, between the slightly oily surface of the paper used for drawing in the cedar, you can directly use a cloth dipped in some water instead of an eraser to destroy the line, but this method still can't be too much.

The ad hoc nature of this paper can be regarded as my attempt to make up for the shortcomings of the eraser piece of writing! Therefore, the drawing method must be to draw a rough outline with auxiliary lines first, and finally fix the drawing, which is the habit of Lin Shan, and it is also an inevitable habit.
