Lin Shan stared at Xing Feng's words, and didn't notice that Mo Ye beside him couldn't help but have a layer of sadness in his eyes when he heard these words.

The words 'relatives are by the side' knocked out the hopes and speculations in her heart about her parents who had never met once. Since she entered school, she has often heard her brothers talk about things going on at home. Those trivial family matters that may seem ordinary in the hearts of other students, or even some annoying people, feel very strange to Mo Ye's ears, which also makes the glimmer of expectation in her heart more and more heavy.

But when the brothers and sisters turned to her and asked her, she could only put away her curiosity, forced a smile, and supported the story of her empty parents with the lies that she repeated over and over again.

Xing Feng quietly listened to Lin Shan's long words, and finally spoke: "Ask sir, how can I make my father change his mind?" ”

"You need to understand exactly what your father really meant by letting you go to school." Lin Shan groaned: "If he is for you to enter the career, you need to let him understand that from the text, you have no talent, but if you change to martial arts, you have some potential." The road to re-entry is not only a literary examination, but also a martial arts. ”

Xing Feng hurriedly asked again: "Then how can I prove it to him?" ”

Lin Shan smiled slightly, and his words were not thorough: "The dean gave you a letter of recommendation, not to pity you and give you charity. He recommended you to go to the 'Shanshui Academy' because of his talent, but you don't know that the academy is actually a martial arts hall with a thin skin of poetry and books. ”

When Lin Shan came here, his voice was slightly lowered, and he said: "A few years ago, when the Great Zhou Dynasty had not fallen, the dynasty that had lasted for more than three hundred years was indeed gradually prosperous and lacking. Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been abolished, the Great Zhao has removed the old and the new, and this situation seems to have changed somewhat. At present, there are still a lot of disputes on the periphery of the country, and there are also some remnants of the old country that are unwilling to settle down in the country, and they need a strong military to weaken and suppress them. In the spring of the following year after the establishment of the Zhao Kingdom, His Majesty the Emperor proposed to tell the world to restore the martial arts, which is proof of this. ”

Xing Feng listened to Lin Shan's detailed explanation, and the content of his words was a major national political event that he had never considered and known, and for a moment he was a little excited and expectant, as if he had seen a bright light that illuminated the way forward for himself. But soon he felt a burst of weakness, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, and he said with a somewhat depressed expression: "Meritorious service, it is too far for me to come, not to mention that if I want to go to the battlefield to fight, my father will not agree." ”

"Maybe I'm a little too early to say anything about you. I think your father expects you like this, with the upright spirit in his heart, although he doesn't want you to be trapped out of the love of protecting the calf, but in his heart he wants you to achieve something. Lin Shan's frustration with the punishment style did not show his hatred for iron and steel. After thinking for a while, he added: "In short, I want you to join the ranks, but there is no martial arts in the officialdom, but it is impossible to avoid murderous opportunities." On the other hand, a military general may only be single-handedly committing risks, and an unwary word may be a disaster. Do you think you have to choose between these two paths, which one will be safer? ”

If you want to be an official, you really can't be too afraid of death, and this is not the value of life that can be measured by the word life and death.

Xing Feng was silent for a long time when he heard this, and a look of shame gradually appeared on his face.

"The sages all say that men have ambitions in all directions, but everyone has their own difficulties and the right to choose for themselves. If this kind of ambition is forced, it is always difficult to become a grand momentum. Lin Shan noticed the shame on Xing Feng's face, he didn't blame Xing Feng's scruples, but added in a flat tone: "Before you choose, I want to advise you one more sentence, if you want to fulfill your father's expectations for you in another way, Shanshui Academy can go, but while you practice martial arts, you must also do two other things, that is, insist on practicing calligraphy and familiarize yourself with military books." ”

At this point, Lin Shan's tone paused. His eyes condensed and stared at Xing Feng, and then he continued: "If it's just for self-defense, or to avenge someone's wrongs, I also want to persuade you, you don't have to go to Shanshui Academy, you just need to pry open your father's mouth seal, his martial arts are enough for you to use here for a lifetime." ”

Lin Shan's last words, in the absence of anger, made Xing Feng feel a trace of coercion, he was shocked in his heart, and lost his voice: "Sir...... I ......"

Lin Shan quickly avoided this topic a little abruptly, and suddenly smiled at Mo Ye beside him: "I'll be here today, the food is coming, and these will inevitably affect the appetite a little, so let's start eating." ”

Mo Ye was listening to the conversation between Lin Shan and Xing Feng on the side, and when she was confused, she suddenly heard the 'order to open a meal' given by her master, she was stunned and smiled stupidly, "Oh".

Lin Shan didn't mention that aspect anymore, and Xing Feng didn't dare to ask any more in awe. The meal in front of him is all vegetarian side dishes, which seems to be tasteless, but when Xing Feng was at home, because Xing Laohan made a living from safaris, meat food became a daily staple food, like such a light dish, at this time, he felt refreshing and calm, his mind was empty, and he could also quietly experience Lin Shan's words.

Although I went around in a circle today, I finally invited Shangxing Feng to have a meal. This was the first time Mo Ye had eaten with Xing Feng in this way, and the most important thing was that this move had been allowed and supported by her master, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart. Later, at the dinner table, Mo Ye gradually opened up a conversation with Xing Feng and freely chatted about some interesting things that he had in the academy.

Although chatting at the dinner table was a bit indecent, this time Lin Shan did not restrain Mo Ye. First, he didn't want to forcibly instill some rigid things in the child when her childlike nature was unstable, and second, both of them were still children, and it was not a big deal to talk about light topics. Xing Feng's expression had been in a tense state just now, and it was good to ease down at this time.

After eating, at the invitation of Mo Ye, Xing Feng still declined to go back to the village with her.

He felt that he was too happy to be invited by his husband this time, and he was really ashamed to go home with his husband again. However, he had another idea in his heart, taking advantage of the fact that the sunset was still some distance away from going down the mountain, he wanted to use this quiet journey home, before seeing his father's face that he didn't know what he was looking at this time, and slowly sort out and filter the qiē things that happened today in his mind.

Lin Shan took Mo Ye to the pavilion, and when he saw that Ma An was already waiting there, Lin Shan was not only grateful, but also blamed him for his absence halfway, and then had another before and after meal. Unexpectedly, Ma An sealed his mouth very tightly about the reason why he left Mo Ye alone in the restaurant halfway, and vetoed Lin Shan's speculation in a few short sentences. But in fact, the rich change of expression on Ma An's face had indirectly betrayed his words that seemed to be unsuspicious.

Lin Shan could only laugh at this, and did not ask him the bottom of it. However, Mo Ye kept holding on to the little aunt who might have saved zài, and her face was suspicious, but Ma An refused to let go of Lin Shan, and Mo Ye was even more out of luck. After knocking on Lin Shan's side, Mo Ye also had a good meal for Ma An, but in the end it also ended in failure without any gain, she had to get into the carriage, and then looked at Lin Shan with eyes full of curiosity.

Lin Shan knew what she wanted to ask when she saw the expression on Mo Ye's face, but he seemed to be thinking about something at this time, and he didn't have the leisure to accompany Mo Ye to verbally joke about Ma An again for the time being, and just lightly threw out a sentence: "Adults, don't worry so much about children." ”

Mo Ye pouted a little unconvinced, seeing a contemplative look on Master's face, the target of her doubts immediately shifted, and she couldn't help but ask, "Master, what are you thinking?" ”

Lin Shan glanced at her, hesitated for a moment and said, "Something related to the torture wind, do you want to know?" ”

Mo Ye hunched her waist, bent one hand to her elbow on her lap, and held half of her face in the palm of her hand, she thought about it before she said: "There are many things that Ye Er doesn't understand about what Master and Xing Feng are talking about, but Ye Er doesn't want to understand all of them clearly, these are better left to adults!" It's just that...... Master, when I think of what happened on the street just now, I always feel that Xingfeng's father is a little scary. In particular, the gaze in his eyes seemed to be able to distinguish the illusion of me disguised as a man at a glance. ”

Lin Shan smiled and said, "Master doesn't know how long he can take you to live in Xingjia Village, but during this period, there must be a lot of contacts between you and Xingfeng." That's why I came forward and introduced you to Xing Feng's father. I arranged it so personally, because I was afraid that if you happened to meet Xingfeng's father, he would let him see your true identity; Second, Xing Feng's father is a cautious but at the same time very strict in his mouth, if he didn't suspect you when he first saw you, he wouldn't be suspicious in the future, so I can save a lot of worries. ”

Mo Ye suddenly said: "It turns out that the master has been prepared for a long time. ”

"There's one more thing, and now I'll tell you by the way." Lin Shan looked at Mo Ye and said calmly: "Have you ever wondered why my understanding of you and Xingfeng has changed so quickly?" And we are not very familiar with the Xing family, why am I familiar with the character of Xingfeng's father? ”

Mo Ye shook his head silently. In fact, she didn't think much about this, but when she heard Master's question today, she had a trace of doubt in her heart, and secretly wondered with some surprise: Could it be that there is a reason for this?

"I won't hide this from you." Lin Shan said slowly: "In fact, I have secretly checked the background of the Xing Feng family, and his father is far more than just an ordinary hunter. ”
