Chapter 158: Xiao Yun
Seeing that he had also pulled Wen Lan in, Rob was even more sure that he was making Lin Tongsheng feel at ease when he heard it, and he also joked: "That's certain." These six pools of gold are only up to Lao Lin. ”
"If you don't count what you say in the future......"
"Punish me Rob three times as much!"
He nodded gently and satisfiedly, and glanced at Steward Lin meaningfully. The latter apparently understood his intentions and looked grateful.
"Now that the accounts of the past eighteen years have also been checked, the gold has also been read, and the oath has been made, then Steward Lin, you can rest assured, let's go back."
Steward Lin replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”
Eighteen years of tacit understanding have allowed the two to know each other's intentions without having to show too much in front of the third person.
Just like when he was gentle to Shen Xianyun, Steward Lin knew both his mind and his decision, so he cut off that thread of thought for him.
Seeing that the two seemed to be satisfied, and did not want them to stay in this secret place for long, Rob diligently led the two back to the palace and added a few kind words, and sent them out of the Golden Sword Piro Palace.
He looked at the gentle and distant back, and thought to himself for a while, and felt more and more that the Wen brothers were very different. Although the two are both scheming, they are very different in temperament. Wen Lan acted vigorously and resolutely, like a raging fire, gentle but dense and meticulous, pervasive. Thanks to these two people, they are brothers, their strengths and weaknesses complement each other, and they are perfectly compatible, if they are the opposite, I really can't say who is better.
In the middle city of Shakoye, the eastern part of the city is a place where the chiefs of various tribes live, and the western part of the city is a land of good water.
What's a good way? The water here is steaming, soaked for half a day, the skin can be moisturized, and it can also relieve the lack of bone pain, especially some chilblains or scabies on the skin, soak for a few days, you can ensure that there is no recurrence for a year.
That's right, it's a hot spring.
Underneath Shakoye, there are natural hot springs that divert to all parts of Midtown, but the most effective ones are the section of the city that has the best effect on the western source of the city.
Wen Wen and Steward Lin got out of the Golden Dao Piluo Palace, and then slowly got into the carriage to the west of the city, where there are more than a dozen hot spring halls. According to the gentle arrangement, Steward Lin had already chartered the largest hot spring restaurant called "Jinyu Tang" in advance.
The owner of the museum waited at the door early, saw Wen Wen get out of the carriage, and hurriedly welcomed him into the museum in person.
With a gentle gesture, Steward Lin took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and handed it to the boss, signaling that he didn't have to follow anymore. The boss happily took the gold, and ordered the men to close the door of the pavilion, while he himself stood guard at the door.
Wen Wen took Steward Lin through the corridor in the museum, and the heat of the spring water was already blowing in his face. Gently smiling, he pointed to the peonies cultivated in the garden under the corridor.
"Look, how is this peony compared to the peony on the house we heard that day?"
Lin Tongsheng thought of the white peonies in the back garden of the house, shook his head and smiled: "It's not as good." ”
"yes...... Although the colors are similar, the spirit is always a little less interesting. I specially asked Mo Daqiu to find a florist from Taiye City and bring rare seeds here to cultivate. Shakoye's underground is damp, and he thought that he could bring out a few flowers with the help of the heating of the hot springs, but he didn't want to be unsatisfactory. Our side of the water and soil......"
Lin Tongsheng was silent.
Both of them have lived on Nanhua Island for nearly 20 years, and although the Wen Mansion has been bombed into ruins, there is still some nostalgia for the grass and trees in it.
Wen Wen has occasionally sighed since he decided to blow up the Wen house:
Life is only a few decades, not to mention which ones are true and which ones are false, after twenty years, even the fake is about to come true.
So he planted the white peony in the hot spring hall of Shakoye.
Lin Tongsheng also asked, why not plant it in the Wen house.
"Forget it...... When you want to see it, just take a look. If people like anything, they move to their own homes, and that house becomes a storehouse. ”
But in fact, Wen Wen just didn't want his brother to see this white peony.
The two of them did not stop, and passed by a rockery. The area of this hot spring pavilion is not small, and there are various garden flowers created by the hot spring pools in various places, and you can enjoy the scenery while bathing, which is very freehand.
Wen Wen pointed to a pool where he could see the peony and said:
"That's it."
Lin Tongsheng just stretched out his hand to replace Wen Wen's wide clothes, but was stopped by Wen Wen's outstretched hand.
"Lao Lin, you and I are bathing together today, so don't pay attention to these. Over the years, you and I have been good friends, and there is no one else here, so you should be more generous. ”
Lin Tongsheng nodded.
The two took off their clothes and slowly paced into the pool, where there were a few pomelo, and the fragrance of pomelo overflowed.
Lin Tongsheng looked at the white peony mildly and blankly, and asked in a low voice:
"Master, you still can't forget Lord Shen?"
There was silence all around, but the spring water murmured.
For a long time, a sigh.
"She always said that the white peonies we planted were the best."
Sometimes, a seemingly unrelated sentence is the clearest answer.
"Maybe I shouldn't have done it too quickly that day."
Gently shook his head and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, you know that I couldn't do anything before I called you into the tea room." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that my brother would blame me for breaking the big thing. ”
"Actually, there is a secret method in my Liuxia Kingdom, which can make people fake their deaths for a few days, and wait until they hide from the Great Witch God......"
Wen Wen stretched out his hand to stop Lin Tongsheng's words.
"You still don't understand what I mean, as long as Shen Xianyun lives, he will always be my weakness. Even if you hide it from your brother for a few days, it won't last long. He was most taboo because these things hindered his plans, not to mention...... He didn't know what the relationship between Shen Xianyun and me was. ”
After speaking, he smiled bitterly.
"Don't say it's a brother, Shen Xianyun herself doesn't know it, everything is just my idiot dream."
Lin Tongsheng was silent.
Shen Xianyun and Wen Wen have lived together on Nanhua Island for 20 years, and when there is nothing to do on weekdays, Shen Xianyun will also come to Wen Mansion to drink tea and enjoy flowers with Wen Wen. Wen Wen deliberately approached Shen Xianyun out of calculation, but Shen Xianyun thought that he was a like-minded person and was happy to get close. It's just that Shen Xianyun wants to be promoted and transferred out of Nanhua wholeheartedly, gentle and restrained without showing any traces, if the matter between the two is said to be the word "love", it is better to say that it is a "companion".
It's just that there are some things that make people feel pain when they die.
After Wen Wen and Steward Lin blew up the Wen Mansion, they let He Gui go to Binzhou to wait first, and he quietly entered Taiye City. Mo Daqiu sent someone to take Wen Wen back to the Imuran Merchant House, but Wen Wen waved his hand and refused.
Except for Steward Lin, no one knew how Wen Wen had lost his soul in those days.
He went to the northwest grid, found a mansion surnamed Shen, and said that he wanted to buy this house.
The family surnamed Shen is a dilapidated aristocrat, but the official worships the four grades, but someone in the ancestors has been an official to the Taifu, and there are many leftovers in the family
The arrogance of coming, seeing such an old man coming over and opening his mouth to buy the house in the northwest grid, he was just about to scold someone and beat him out. With a wave of his gentle hand, he ordered someone to bring in a few boxes of things.
When I opened it, I saw that a box was ten percent new gold ingots, a box was a fine blue sea pearl, and a box was a variety of jade agate.
That night, the Shen house became an empty house, and the family took nothing with them except a little gold and silver stored at the bottom of the box.
Wen Wen moved a chair and sat in front of the door, looking at the word "Shen Fu" hanging high there, and sat almost all night.
Lin Tongsheng was silently with him.
Three days later, Zhu Zhijie got out of Taiye and went to the Kuntou ship.
On the same day, he and Lin Tongsheng went to Linzhou.
Xianyun...... Hearing that the Emperor asked the Hanlin Academy to record your life in a book and spread it to the world, if you know, can you be gratified? This Shen Mansion, even if it's an old brother who pays back your wish......
The pool is filled with mist, and every pore on the body is soaked in the spring water.
"Lao Lin, I remember that you are also a hot spring lover."
"Yes."
Lin Tongsheng leaned against the edge of the pool and let out a long breath. He hadn't soaked in the hot springs for too long, and he couldn't even stand the temperature anymore.
At the foot of Mt. Aso in the Ryuxia Province, there are hot springs everywhere. Sometimes, when the locals go out in a hurry, they feel a little tired, so they will find an open-air pool to soak for a while, meet people they don't know each other, and chat a few words about the customs. The hot springs there, with the smell of sulfur, are very effective for healing.
"I wish I could soak in the hot springs at the foot of Mt. Aso again one day."
Gentle and silent.
Aso Mountain is gone, and the Liuxia Kingdom is gone, but Lin Tongsheng doesn't know it yet.
When Lin Tongsheng fled to Nanhua Island, he introduced him to his brother. He taught his brother how to disguise and how to disguise, and won his brother's trust.
After that, he asked his brother for help, and asked Imulan to help him fight back to the kingdom of Ryuxia. The elder brother said that it was okay to borrow troops, but he had to pay for the military himself.
But he is an exile, where is the money.
So the elder brother said that as long as he was willing to serve Imuran wholeheartedly and eventually help him to settle the Taili, he would give him 10,000 ingots of gold every year. On the day when the blue sea is broken, he will lend him as many soldiers as he has as much gold.
So Lin Tongsheng stayed in Wenzhai on Nanhua Island for 18 years.
In the past eighteen years, he has taken care of everything in the Wen Mansion on Nanhua Island, trained Yinhua for Wen Lan, and taught himself a good kung fu with a secret weapon.
Such a person who can't bear it, can work hard and complain, which is nothing more than having a strong belief.
But what if this faith collapsed overnight with Mt. Aso?
At first, Wen Wen didn't know that the Ryuxia Kingdom had sunk, and it was his brother who told him a few days before the Imperial Privy Council. And yesterday I received an urgent report, saying that Zhu Zhitong of the blue sea fled to the Hanjiang River in the serpentine ship of the Liuxia Kingdom.
Wen Wen looked at Lin Tongsheng sitting opposite him, his eyes closed, his face expressionless, and he was a little hesitant in his heart.
However, he finally opened his mouth.
"Lao Lin...... Ryuxia Kingdom ...... Nope. ”
Lin Tongsheng didn't open his eyes, and nodded slowly after a while, his face was wet, and he couldn't tell whether it was the water vapor of the hot spring or what.
"I know."
Gentle in his heart, he actually knew, but he didn't say a word.
