"Sir, you can live here first. If you need anything, just tell me. ”

Lin Tian led the white-haired old man into a vacant room in the mansion and arranged for him to stay here. The old man smiled and said, "Thank you, young man, you just need to take care of a few full meals for the old man." I'll be gone in a few days, so I won't bother you. ”

"Old man, it's better for you to stay with me temporarily, I'm under surveillance around here, and I'm afraid that if you leave, the other party will be suspicious. When this incident is over, I will find an opportunity to send you out of the city again. ”

"That's really a problem for you. Presumably, Gongzi should be the Lin Gongzi in the mouth of my ghost-faced nephew, it's better to see it than to hear it! Lin Gongzi is not a person in the rivers and lakes at such an age, but he is chivalrous and courageous! ”

"The old gentleman has won the award", Lin Tian said kindly: "Although I don't have a deep relationship with Ghost Face, I can be regarded as familiar with each other. In this foreign land, it is fate for me to see each other again, and it is just a matter of raising my hands, if I don't have this ability, how can I respond to him. ”

The old man is very fond of Lin Tian, a young man, who is not arrogant or impatient, not arrogant, and easy-going. The old man touched his white beard, and said with a smile: "It's still the old saying, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has seen the hearts of the people for a long time, and he can see the sincerity in this foreign land, and it is his blessing that the master and nephew can know you!" ”

Lin Tian smiled and said nothing, Lin Tian has never been very good at dealing with such a situation. "By the way, old man, your current name is Chen Yuankun, that's what I said to the outside world. Although the people in this house are very reliable, but just in case, we still have to do the whole show. ”

"Well, Lin Gongzi is thoughtful. I've almost forgotten the real name of the old decay, haha, Chen Yuankun, yes, the old decay will be called Chen Yuankun in the future. ”

Before Lin Tian said goodbye to the old man, he said, "Old man, your grandchildren will bring you food later, you wait a while." ”

After Lin Tian left, the old man sat alone at the table, and couldn't help but feel that he had entered the age of the sixtieth year, but there was no descendant by his side, and he had walked through most of his life alone. Now that two grandchildren have suddenly appeared, although it is a pretended relationship, it is also worthy of the old man's sigh.

"Knock knock", remembering the knock outside the door, pulled back the old man. The old man walked over and opened the door, only to see a young man and a girl standing outside the door, holding some food in their hands.

"Grandpa, your meal is ready."

Chen Mani spoke first, and then motioned to his younger brother next to him to shout too, and Chen Xiuyuan also weakly called his grandfather.

When he first heard this, the old man's whole body was shocked, and he realized that he was so eager to have a child under his knees. For most of his life, he spent the first 30 years in Shimen, where he was accompanied by his brothers, disciples and apprentices, and he also made up for the vacancy of his family.

In the next 30 years, the master became bigger and his power was in full swing, so he was idle and no longer ran back and forth as before. He wanted to live a free life, he longed for freedom, so he lived in seclusion in the mountains. At the beginning of the period, I had plans to start a family, but I thought that I had made a lot of enemies over the years, and now that I am outside, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take care of them, so the idea of starting a family is light.

As I get older, the idea of starting a family is even lighter, and I am used to living alone, and my life is very good. But as I get older and older, after the year of destiny, I feel a lot of emotion. The older people get, the more they like to reminisce about the past, and the more they miss the days before. At this time, he wished that there was someone around him who could talk to him and reminisce about the past, but there was always only one thatched hut to accompany him for the rest of his life.

This completely white hair came at that time, and I often feel it constantly, seeing things and thinking about people, which is equivalent to saying that I am sad and white. Hearing the cries of the Mannie siblings today, the old man realized that it was so nice to have relatives.

"Grandpa, let's go in and eat!" Mannie saw that the old man was stunned, and shouted again.

"Hey, let's go in for dinner." The old man took the sister and brother one in each hand, and walked into the house. He sat down at the table and asked softly, "Child, what's your name?" ”

The sisters and brothers first put the food in their hands on the table, and then the bolder sister Chen Mani replied to the old man, "Grandpa, my name is Chen Manni, and my brother's name is Chen Xiuyuan." ”

The old man held the little hands of the two of them and muttered, "Mannie, Xiuyuan, they are all good boys!" Is this God having mercy on me, a bad old man? ”

There was a faint light in the old man's eyes, "Child, would you like me to be your grandfather, grandpa has no children around him in this life, and you will be grandpa's good granddaughter and grandson in the future, okay?" Grandpa will take good care of you. ”

"Grandpa, Childe said, you will be our grandfather in the future?"

Chen Mani didn't understand what the old man meant for a while, and the old man said excitedly: "What I said is that in the future, you will be granddaughters and grandsons of grandpa, and we are a family." In the future, you will treat my grandfather and me as my own grandfather, okay? ”

"This—" Mannie looked a little embarrassed, and the old man wondered, "What's the matter?" Don't want to be grandpa's own grandson? ”

"No, but," Mannie muttered. "It's okay, you say it slowly, even if you don't agree, it's okay, old man, I've lived most of my life alone, and it's okay to be alone in the future." The old man seemed to be a little self-deprecating, as if he was laughing at the absurd life of his life, and he wanted to have someone to accompany him when he was old.

"No, grandpa, our sister and brother are also orphans, grandpa wants to recognize us as relatives, and it's too late for us to be happy! But... We were rescued by Childe, and it cost a lot of money, so we can't abandon Childe and go with you. ”

"Also, I can't help but repay the grace of saving my life, what a good boy. Then if you are allowed to stay with Lin Gongzi in the future, then you will not object to recognizing me as a grandfather! As for Lin Gongzi's side, I will say that he will not object if he thinks about it. So, do you think it's okay? ”

The sister and brother nodded slightly, and the younger brother naturally saw his sister nodding, so he learned to behave. Chen Xiuyuan is only ten years old, which is the age of playfulness, but after experiencing so much at a young age, his courage has become smaller and smaller. He still doesn't know about these, he can't tell clearly, he just knows that it's right to follow his sister.

That night, in a luxurious courtyard, an old man in fancy clothes was making tea, and a stunning beauty behind him was playing the harp. Looking at the graceful back, you can see that the person who strokes the qin is a stunning beauty, but the costume is a plain suit, and her hair is coiled on her head.

When the face is raised, it is indeed a delicate face, as carved out of handicrafts, with angular facial features, but no rigidity of handicrafts, angular facial features are distributed on a face with soft lines, but it is extraordinarily coordinated and natural.

This cold face that combines softness and tenacity, who is it if it is not a flower fairy? It was the flower fairy who was stroking the qin here, and the one who was cooking and drinking tea in front of her was his master, one of the three dukes of the Canghan Empire.

"How's it going, are those old guys still safe?" Shangguan Shaowen said flatly, as if he was speaking to the air.

"Back to my lord, the others haven't made any moves recently, but Li Sima and Yin Sikong have been relatively close and often get together." Although the flower fairy was talking, her hands did not stop, and the sound of the piano was still the same.

"Hmph, I know that this Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and these two old horsemen can't get along with the old man. Seeing that the prince is gone, they want to bring down the old man, they are simply dreaming. One day, the old man left them dead without a place to be buried. ”

Shangguan Shaowen was not angry and arrogant, and exuded the majesty of a superior person. As the head of a hundred officials, he was originally under one person and above ten thousand people. In the court, he is the dominant party, but there are always people who can't get along with him, and this is Sikong and Sima under him.

Sima led the military and political affairs of the whole country, held real power, and held thousands of troops and horses. Although Sikong is the last of the three princes, he has the right to supervise hundreds of officials, including him, who is also subject to Sikong's supervision. Both of them have real rights, and in the court, it was almost his family.

Then the two joined forces to contend with him, and fought against him everywhere in the court. They are all in charge of their own side, they are in high positions, they hold real power, they have no big handles, and he is helpless to take the two of them. Now that the prince has passed away suddenly, the two of them see this and think that Shangguan Shaowen's biggest backer has gone. They often conspire together, wanting to promote the new prince and suppress the forces of Shangguan Shaowen and his party.

Each of the three has its own plans, although the death of the prince has dealt a great blow to Shangguan Shaowen, it is not fatal, and many years of operation have long made his party deeply rooted and flourishing. The Sakura Group he cultivated is a trump card force in his hands, and the Sakura Group is composed of all women, most of the members are from abandoned babies, and they have been cultivated since childhood, and their loyalty can be described as dead. And the flower fairy is the leader of the cherry blossom group.

The Sakura group is like an umbilical cord that connects all his henchmen. The flower fairy is a businessman on the surface, opening a winery and a restaurant, but in fact, he is making money for him, and to win people around, you must not only have the means, but also need material and tangible benefits to make people follow you.

At the same time, secretly, the Sakura team will also be responsible for dealing with some things that are not visible. The reason why the Sakura group is all women is because it is to win people over, and it is to facilitate assassination, and it is always easier for women to approach men than men to get close to men, and they are young and beautiful women.

"I heard that Ling'er took your token to the yamen of the City Guard Mansion and mentioned a few people?"

"Yes, it was my winery's partner's friend who was caught by mistake, and he came to ask me for help, and I asked Ling'er to follow."

Shangguan Shaowen was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't show it. said in a flat tone: "In the future, if this kind of thing happens, just send someone to do it." Don't you know that the Chengwei Mansion is managed by Yin Dehai's old horseman? This old thing likes to be suspicious the most, if he finds the details of Ling'er, he will definitely come up and bite the old man. ”

"Yes, my lord, this time I owe it to me."

The flower fairy said with a sincere fear as if facing a great enemy.

"Okay, what to do this time. You and Ling'er are my favorite and most trusted people, just like my own daughter. It's just that we need to know that there are people around us who want our lives all the time, so we have to be careful in everything. ”

"Master Xie, I will definitely remember the teachings of the adults and help them until the death."

The flower fairy got up and raised her head, sincerity was a sincere statement. "Alright, you go down!" Shangguan Shaowen waved his hand, and the flower fairy left.

Soon after the flower fairy left, a man in black walked out of the shadows outside the court, clenching his fists, as if waiting for some order.

"You go to the Chengwei Mansion to take a look, if there is any problem, you can help!"

"Yes."

The Man in Black then vanished into the shadows.
