Chapter 44: Bruce's Remorse
After Lin Xia returned home, he hurriedly took out the cephalosporin, but he did not send the cephalosporin directly to the Minister of Finance, but integrated the cephalosporin into the water. If you take cephalosporin directly to the Minister of Finance, if the Minister of Finance asks, he will not be able to explain it.
After it is done, he has someone send it to the Minister of Finance and instruct him to use it for each time. As for whether it can be cured, Lin Xia has no bottom in his heart, after all, he doesn't know if this cephalosporin will expire.
In this way, Lin Xia stayed in the Lionheart Research Institute for half a month, and the other researchers originally had opinions about Lin Xia, thinking that although Lin Xia was a descendant of the Lionheart King, he didn't understand the Lionheart King's experience and these items at all. Lin Xia didn't care at all, he just casually explained a few items from his previous life, and let these people be completely convinced. It's just that Lin Xia still said that he didn't know the purpose of the toilet, which can be regarded as Lin Xia's kindness to these people who have drunk toilet water.
Lin Xia's biggest harvest was Tang's letters and notes, including Tang's letters to his subordinates and his wife, as well as some notes on Tang's travels in Charlemagne's continent, including a note on Tang's expedition to the southwest of the continent, which made Lin Xia feel very special.
This travelogue in the southwest of the continent records the existence of other races, and they are intelligent creatures, not ordinary magical beasts.
According to Lin Xia's current understanding of the mainland, the southwest of the continent is where the famous crystal tower on the mainland is located. Legend has it that the Crystal Tower was founded by Tang, but there is no direct evidence that the Crystal Tower is related to Tang. But the Crystal Tower did not appear on the mainland until after Tang's disappearance, and it soon rose.
The Crystal Tower is not a building, it is a city, the Crystal Tower was still a wasteland when the mainland was unified, because it is located in the southwest, it is very humid and muddy, and it is very unsuitable for living. But five years after Tang's disappearance, Charlemagne's empire suddenly discovered that a place called the Crystal Tower had risen in the southwest. This place gives the empire the feeling of being rich, very rich.
When the empire was discussing how to deal with the crystal tower, the owner of the crystal tower sent a letter to the founding emperor Paul, and after reading the letter, Paul only said to the ministers: "In the future, the crystal tower will be managed by the empire, collect taxes every year, and allow 20,000 soldiers to be stationed." However, all the government affairs of the Crystal Tower are handled by the people of the Crystal Tower, and the empire is not allowed to interfere. The contents of the letter were read only by the founding emperor Paul, and then Paul burned them. But it is a good thing that the Crystal Tower is included in the management of the Empire, and up to now, almost one-third of the Empire's annual financial revenue comes from the Crystal Tower.
After Lin Xia learned about this policy, he knew that this policy of one country, two systems must have been carried out by Tang. Tang built a crystal tower in the southwest of the continent, and there are other races there, and it is very likely that it will have a gateway to other worlds.
Lin Xia paid attention, thinking about a way to go to the Crystal Tower to have a look.

Baron Bruce was in a secluded residence in the imperial capital, and Bruce stood outside the only room here, bent over respectfully. After standing for a while, the door to the room was pushed open from the inside, but the door to the room was covered by a gauze, and it was obvious that the people in the room wanted to hide their identities. A deep voice in the room said to Bruce, "Baron Bruce, what are you here to report?"
Bruce respectfully said to the room: "Lord, Yin Deng has been coming to me almost every other day recently, and he should have been forced to the end of his rope by Lin Xia. ”
A deep voice sounded in the room: "I have already arranged a sixth-level martial artist. Black Wolf, go meet with Baron Bruce. As soon as the words fell, a man in his forties walked out of the room, wearing a warrior suit, and the second sentence of "Lord" was said to this black wolf, and the black wolf must not be his real name, but the code name of some kind of organization.
Bruce didn't expect that as soon as the "Lord" made a move, he arranged for a sixth-level martial artist to come out, and once again confirmed the "Lord" energy in his heart. But he was still a little puzzled by the arrangement of the "Lord", so he asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"You just need to introduce the black wolf to Yin Deng, and the specific things the black wolf will do. A voice in the room said.
Bruce heard the vague answer of "Lord", Bruce always felt unsteady, he was a little afraid of "Lord", he didn't dare to ask again, and left here with the black wolf.
After Bruce left, another voice sounded in the room: "Your Highness, although we have shifted the target to Yin Deng, what if we find Bruce afterwards." "It wasn't the sound just now, it was clear that there was more than one person in the room.
"If Bruce is dead by then, the trail will be broken. The deep voice sounded again.
............
Lin Xia worked in the Lionheart Research Institute for half a month, but he was too lazy to go again, the research institute was just an idle job, and he really had nothing to do. Although Heywood, as the dean, has the rank of colonel, in fact, there are only a dozen researchers in the research institute, and the so-called research every day is really ridiculous in Lin Xia's opinion. simply asked Heywood for a long vacation, although Yin Deng no longer threatened, but many things still have to be presided over by Lin Xia himself.
After Lin Xia took a long vacation, he went directly to Hongxing's headquarters, Hongxing's high-level officials were not there, and he ran into Robben boxing in the school field of the headquarters. Lin Xia had a good impression of Robben, Lin Xia intended to point out Robben, but after looking at it for a while, Lin Xia gave up, this Robben really has no talent in martial arts.
When Robben saw Lin Xia coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Boss." ”
"Good practice. Lin Xia still encouraged him against his will, and said to Robben: "Go out with me." After saying that, he walked towards the gate of the headquarters first.
Lin Xia decided to go to the few places where Yin Deng was sealed, anyway, with his fourth-level strength, there would be no danger in the imperial capital.
Lin Xia took Robben to see Yin Deng's sealed yard one by one, and when he walked to a casino, Robben suddenly said: "Mandy's father owes a debt in this casino." ”
Yin Deng's casino is located in the middle of nowhere, so to speak, on the outskirts of the empire, and there are a large number of displaced people living nearby. It is really hateful that Yin Deng's casino even deceived such a poor person.
Since he had arrived at the casino, Lin Xia felt that it was not far from Mandy's home, so he asked Robben to take it to see, but unexpectedly, the two of them walked a long way away, and the surroundings were deserted, and they had not yet arrived at the thatched house where Mandy's father lived before his death.
At this moment, Lin Xia suddenly felt a chill in his body, and an inexplicable danger signal came to his heart. He didn't have time to react, so he hurriedly pulled Robben back quickly, and just took three steps back, and just stood in the position where he was cut out of a sword mark more than three meters long by Dou Qi.
Looking at the sword marks on the ground, Lin Xia was afraid for a while, if it wasn't for the sudden sense, Robben would have been cut in half by this sword qi now. I'm afraid I'll be seriously injured myself.
Lin Xia glanced around, resisted one direction and said, "Who is Your Excellency?"
Out of the woods came a man in his forties, holding a broad-edged sword in his hand, and said as he walked: "It's the person who came to kill you." It was the Black Wolf who asked Bruce to introduce Yin Deng to the "Lord".
............
Bruce's mansion in the imperial capital. Living alone in the study, he felt a little upset today, and always felt that something was wrong. Today is not the first time he has felt this way, since the "Lord" arranged for Bruce to introduce the black wolf to Yin Deng, he felt very unsteady in his heart.
Bruce and Antonio knew each other when they were young, and his goal was to bring down the Xilin family completely in order to avenge the revenge of "Catherine", so he himself showed up to help Yin Deng, wanting to use Yin Deng's power to defeat Lin Xia's hard-earned power and extinguish the hope of the Xilin family. When the "Lord" learned of Bruce's idea, he also supported it.
But the support of the "Lord" did not go through official channels, nor did it give Yin Deng financial support, which made Bruce never understand the intentions of the "Lord", but he always had a bad premonition in his heart.
Bruce sat in his study, tapping his fingers on the table. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he suddenly slapped the table, stood up, and whispered, "Not good!" and hurriedly strode out of the study.
Bruce suddenly thought that the "Lord" must have a grudge with Lin Xia or the Xilin family for some reason, so he introduced the black wolf to Yin Deng, and then used the conflict between Yin Deng and Lin Xia to let the black wolf kill Lin Xia. After all, Lin Xia is the descendant of King Lionheart, and the emperor will inevitably order a strict investigation, and Yin Deng, as the person who instructed the black wolf, will definitely not be able to escape, and it is very likely that he will confess himself. If the "Lord" is not at ease with himself, then the best way is to make himself a dead man.
Thinking of this, Bruce snorted coldly, in the case of assassinating Lin Xia, there were murderers, conspirators, and there were also hidden enemies with the Xilin family behind him, "Lord" is really a good means.
Bruce came to the courtyard where Sam lived, and Sam was practicing martial arts in the courtyard at this time, and when he saw Bruce coming, he bowed his head and said cowardly, "Father." ”
According to Bruce's previous temperament, seeing Sam's cowardly appearance, he must have given Sam a slap in the face, but today, Bruce's anxious mood ignored Sam's expression, and just yelled at Sam: "Quickly pack up your things, we will leave the imperial capital immediately." ”
Sam could see Bruce's eagerness, and he was used to obeying his father's orders, so he didn't ask, and went straight back to the room to tidy up his things.
"Take only light and valuable things. Bruce instructed. After Bruce finished speaking, he also returned to his room, and it could be seen that he was in a hurry, he didn't even take a change of clothes, but just took the soft and went to Sam's room again, and was about to leave the imperial capital with Sam.
The two walked to the north gate of the imperial capital, Bruce suddenly stopped, Sam looked at Bruce curiously, why did his father stop again in such a hurry.
The reason why Bruce stopped was because he was very entangled in his heart, he and Antonio had been brothers for many years, although because of Catherine, Bruce and Antonio had irreconcilable conflicts. But Bruce's purpose is to bring down the Sillin family and punish Antonio psychologically, he wants to break Antonio's family, but he doesn't want Antonio to die.
The most important thing is that the goal of the "Lord" is Lin Xia, and Lin Xia is the son of Antonio and "her", how can "her" son die like this, Bruce finally made up his mind and said to Sam: "You go out of the city from the north gate first, and wait for me in Andrew's Town, a hundred miles away." ”
"Father, where are you going?"
"You go first. Bruce looked at his son and couldn't help but be a little worried, this son has been innocent and honest since he was a child, but under his own persecution, he has become more and more silent, and he is a little wooden. He took out the soft from his bosom, stuffed it into Sam's arms, and said, "You wait for me in Andrewtown, if I haven't arrived in two months, you don't have to wait for me." ”
At this time, Bruce already felt that he was going to remind Lin Xia at this time that he might not be able to leave.
Sam looked at Bruce's appearance, also a little worried, and his heart was full of questions and wanted to ask Bruce. But Bruce's face turned pale at this time, and he said sharply: "Don't go quickly." ”
"Yes, father. Under Bruce's long-term oppression, Sam finally didn't dare to ask again, and walked outside the imperial capital.
Bruce watched Sam get out of the city gate and turned to look for Linxia. The direction Bruce went to was Antonio's Viscount's Mansion, and he wasn't sure where Lin Xia was, so he could only go to the Viscount's Mansion to find Antonio.
A few blocks away from Antonio's Viscount's Palace, four men in black suddenly appeared, surrounding Bruce. Bruce was not surprised by the arrival of the man in black, he just looked in the direction of the Viscount's Mansion and felt remorse. "Catherine, I'm sorry for you. ”
But what Bruce didn't know was that Lin Xia had already encountered the black wolf at this time.
