Chapter 6: The "Glorious History" of the Xilin Family

The Xilin family is really not as good as the next generation since the Tang Dynasty ran away, the most typical of which is Lin Xia's great-great-great-great-grandfather, that is, the thirteenth generation descendant of King Lionheart, Duke Kleist-Xilin, yes, it was still the title of duke at that time, and the Lionheart family still had a tradition of serving in the army at that time. Because he is a descendant of King Lionheart, although it has declined, the empire still gives certain benefits, and when Kleist was forty years old, he finally managed to survive the position of lieutenant colonel, in charge of the logistics of the Third Army, and it was also a well-paid position in the army.

In a war with the steppemen, the vanguard of the Third Army fought the steppemen first, and the defeat attracted the steppes into an ambush circle. And the commander of the Third Army was also a fool, and there was an intersection between the deceitful route and the logistics and transportation route, and it was at this intersection that the forward army and the logistics army met at this intersection. When the logistics army saw the retreat of the forward army, it thought that the front had been lost, and it was so frightened that it didn't want to carry the baggage, so it turned around and ran, resulting in the forward army being blocked by the baggage, unable to quickly go to the ambush place, and unable to turn around to face the battle after being caught up by the steppe people, resulting in the rout of the whole battle.

The emperor at that time, Alexander VIII, was furious when he saw the battle report and wanted to behead Kleist on the spot, but the ministers at that time dissuaded the emperor on the grounds that Kleist was the descendant of King Lionheart and the commander of the Third Army was the main reason for the defeat, and instead reduced the punishment of the title, demoted the duke to an earl, and ordered that the Lionheart family should never join the army. And because of this incident, the Third Army also became a laughing stock in the Imperial Army, known as the lame rabbit. After that, capable soldiers were reluctant to serve in the Third Army, resulting in the Third Army becoming the most ineffective army in the Empire.

And to Lin Xia's grandfather, Count Bi Weisi-Xilin is a well-known romantic figure in the imperial capital, at the age of twenty-one, he suddenly swore to stay away from the flowers, vowing to restore the glory of the family, but because of his great-grandfather Kleist's relationship, the Lionheart family is no longer allowed to join the army, fortunately, it has been decades since Kleist's punishment, this rule is no longer so strict, Bi Weisi sold the family's mansion in the imperial capital, and finally entered the Tenth Army to serve as a squad leader through the relationship between East and West, and was a soldier for half a year。

In a battle against bandits, Count Biweiss met a female leader who escaped and was seriously injured, and the female leader was a beautiful woman of eighteen years, and his pitiful appearance after being seriously injured made Biweis forget his oath to stay away from the flowers, and the two fell in love with each other.

Since the female leader's cottage had been breached by the Tenth Army, in order to avoid the female leader's imprisonment, Bi Weisi resolutely decided to fly away with the female leader and find a remote area to live in seclusion. But one of the two is a rich second generation, and the other is in the mountains for a long time, how can they hide their experience, and they were quickly caught.

At that time, the newly adult emperor Alexander XIII Charlie was also a ruffian, who had just ascended the throne at this time, and after hearing about Bi Weisi and the female cottage leader, he was moved by his great love, and if it wasn't for the ministers to stop him, Bi Weisi would have been acquitted. Originally, the two crimes of desertion and harboring fugitives were proper capital crimes, but because of Emperor Charles's personal inclination, he only demoted the earl to a viscount, took back most of the fiefdom, and only retained the area of a small town so that the Lionheart's Xilin family could barely keep food and clothing, and beheaded the female leader of the cottage.

After Bi Weisi was released, the family's original mansion had been sold, and he could only buy a small mansion near the civilian area, barely took care of a few servants with the low taxes of the fief, married a commoner, and gave birth to Antonio, and died of depression at the age of forty-three.

In this way, Lin Xia's father, Antonio, the unlucky bastard, the Xilin family passed to Antonio, although he still retains the title of viscount, and he is also a nobleman, but he has long been away from the aristocratic circle of the empire, and the empire only regards the Xilin family as a mascot, and only some important festivals or sacrifices of the empire will think of the descendants of the Lionheart.

Antonio also inherited his father's romantic character and ambition when he was young, but he had no money and no way to enter the army, and finally joined a little-known mercenary group when Antonio was sixteen years old, and decided to create a reputation through another way to restore the glory of the family. However, Antonio did not make a name for himself in the mercenary world, and when he returned home at the age of twenty-six, he brought back a son, that is, Lin Xia, and to this day, no one except Antonio knows who the child's mother is.

Of course, Antonio's experience cannot be read in the family history, but fortunately the butler Burton knows.

......

When Lin Xia first entered the school, except for being able to say a few words to Sean every day, he never communicated with his classmates, which can be described as taciturn, in Lin Xia's own words: "What is there to communicate with a group of children." ”

Sean's Troubled Boy development plan has been implemented, and the first step of the training plan is to tell Sean the story of the Troubled Boy and cultivate Sean's Troubled Boy's outlook on life.

What Lin Xia didn't expect was that his classmates also liked these stories very much, which led to the fact that during recess, male classmates would always surround Lin Xia, waiting for him to tell him the story of the old boy. The blood of these teenagers is ignited by the birth and death and brotherhood in the story.

Fifteen-year-old Lin Xia has already cultivated his Dou Qi to the third level last year, except for the total amount of Dou Qi and the increase in the strength of the physical body, there is no obvious change, Antonio's answer to Lin Xia is that the cultivation of Dou Qi from one to three levels is mainly to enhance physical conditions such as strength and reaction, and only when it reaches the fourth level, the Dou Qi can be released will produce a qualitative change.

Since Lin Xia was able to cultivate, he carefully compared the Huaxia version of the Sunflower Treasure Book and the translation of the Sunflower Treasure Book, and privately re-completed the translation of the Sunflower Treasure Book according to the Huaxia version of the Sunflower Treasure Book, and taught it to Sean, and Sean's talent turned out to be not bad, and he had just broken through to the third level not long ago. It's a pity that Sean still cultivates his fighting spirit, and he can't cultivate his true qi like Lin Xia.

Lin Xia secretly compared, whether it was strength or speed, he was obviously stronger than Sean, maybe this is the difference between oil and water that Tang said.

After school that day, Lin Xia and Sean were on their way home, Sean was still talking to Lin Xia about what he had learned in the academy today, in fact, Sean had done this all these years, and Lin Xia listened impatiently as always, and hummed from time to time, indicating that he had heard. If this person wasn't Sean, Lin Xia would have shot him to death a long time ago.

When the two of them passed through an alley, they saw two young men of eighteen or nineteen years old in front of them, talking fiercely to a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old by the wall.

Lin Xia was immediately happy when he saw this familiar scene, this scene was exactly the same as the social gangsters in his previous life who went to the school to rob students of money, and beckoned Sean to go over and have a look.

When Lin Xia had just entered the society in his previous life, he was also asked by the boss at the time to go to the school to rob money. Lin Xia felt that he had graduated and robbed students was really bullying the weak, not to mention that he was brave and righteous in the rivers and lakes, robbing the rich and helping the poor, but what sense of accomplishment could he have when he bullied a few students, so he quickly broke away from this boss.

When Lin Xia had a little success in the rivers and lakes, he met this boss again, and in order to help a student break the siege, he also beat this boss hard. Although he is unwilling to study, he is strongly opposed to destroying the flowers of the motherland.

As soon as Lin Xia and Sean arrived nearby, they heard a slightly taller of the two young people: "You are shameless, let you pay money to look up to you, and if you don't pay money, break your leg or not." ”

Lin Xia looked at the young man leaning against the wall, vaguely remembering that he seemed to be a classmate from the next class, but he didn't know the name. Lin Xia went to a civilian academy, and the income of the civilians in the empire was very meager, and most of them could not afford their children to study, so the civilian academy enrolls students once every two years, and there are only two classes each time, as long as you don't close your eyes every day, the students of the school have basically seen it.

The young man against the wall looked a little scared, but he still said stubbornly: "I don't have money, even if I have money, I won't give it to you." ”

When the tall young man heard the boy say this, he raised his leg and kicked the boy. At this time, Sean pushed the tall young man away, Sean has a third-level fighting spirit, and his strength is amazing among ordinary people, although he didn't use very hard, but he still pushed the young man to a stumbling side.

Another young man who was a little short looked a little nervous when he saw someone stopping him, and said, "Who are you?"

At this time, the young man also saw Lin Xia and Sean, and said in surprise: "You are Lin Xia."

Lin Xia glanced at the young man and nodded without speaking, looking at the two young people, he thought that they should be the gangsters nearby, not even the gangsters, and he didn't want to embarrass these two young people. Just walked up to the young man and said to the two young men: "He is covered by me, if you don't want to be beaten, get out of here." ”
