Walking into the inner courtyard of the Li Mansion, even the doors and windows of the houses here have been smashed and broken. The courtyard was dark and the snow was deep, but there was still candlelight in a small room in a remote corner of the backyard.

In the small room, there was a bed with a soft quilt, a pot of boiling water was boiling on the small stove, and there was a small four-corner table next to it, on which were some delicate tea sets.

Li Shentong put Lin Chen on the couch, leaned his back against the wall, and gently wrapped him in a quilt. Turning around, he began to fiddle with the delicate tea sets.

Li Shentong's palms were white, his fingers were very long, and he lightly put the two teacups in front of him, and then slowly took out a small jade bottle from his arms. Holding it as a treasure in the palm of his hand for a long time, he gently opened the lid. Then the jade bottle was slightly oblique, and the tea leaves poured out of it in the palm of his hand.

Li Shentong looked serious and moved elegantly, twisted his fingertips lightly, and placed the tea leaves into the small cup. One piece, two pieces, when the fifth piece is put on, and then switch to the next teacup, the movement is gentle, the same five pieces.

The teapot on the small stove was already boiling, steaming hot, and the drunken man on the bed muttered to himself.

Li Shentong sat upright, stretched out his arms, picked up the teapot, and slowly poured water into the two teacups.

"Brother Lin, how high-spirited you are in the last face of Hezhou, you said that I will be able to pay homage to the marquis one day, and you also said that the tea I brewed is the most unforgettable aftertaste in the world. But why did I just leave when such unfortunate news came? Now goodbye you have become the way you are. Li Shentong seemed to be talking to himself, although his tone was light, but he could feel full of affection in the plainness, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, everything will be fine." ”

Pieces of tea dance in the water, like little lives swimming in the water. The tea was pouring tea leaves, and in an instant, the room was full of aroma.

The drunken man on the couch behind him suddenly opened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him in a daze. However, although he had already woken up, his eyes were blank, as if he had no emotion.

Li Shentong, who was making tea, was quietly admiring the wonderful scene of tea turning into tea, but as if he had long eyes behind him, he suddenly said:

"Brother Lin, you're awake."

The people behind him didn't seem to hear it, and they still stared ahead in a daze.

Li Shentong turned around and pressed his hand on Lin Chen's shoulder, "Brother Lin, do you still recognize me?" ”

Lin Chen's sluggish eyes finally moved, staring at Pan Zeyu for a while, and then nodded heavily as if he had woken up. But the movements are stiff and artificial, not like ordinary people.

Li Shentong said again: "Who am I? ”

That Lin Chen's eyes rolled and rolled, and he suddenly raised his hand to point at Pan Zeyu, and opened his mouth to say, "You are Lin Chen!" ”

After saying that, he began to laugh, laughing and laughing, lifted the quilt, stood up, and ran around the room in circles, as if crazy. He kept shouting: "You are Lin Chen, you are Lin Chen" and kept laughing while saying.

Li Shentong watched quietly, but the worry in his eyes was unusually deep.

"Brother Lin, the matter has passed, what's the use of you ruining yourself like this? Wake up! Seeing his once best friend become what he is now, a trace of obscurity flashed in Li Shentong's eyes.

"Send a letter to Lin Xuan, asking her to come to Jinling in person"

It's been snowing for a long time.

Li Shentong was wrapped in a thick black mink coat and sat on the stone steps in front of the 'Wenmo Hall', blankly thoughtful. Although he is only a weak crown, between his eyebrows and eyes is already a fine universe, like an ink painting, like a kind of faint Lingyan. The two eyebrow peaks are as straight as swords, like a waterfall that flies down to sweep the forehead, with indescribable coldness and agility. The soft lines of his face could not be drawn even by the most skillful painter, and his face was as pale as snow, which made him a little cold.

He is still in a daze here, but the Li Mansion is already busy as boiling, the holy decree has been issued, the Governor of Jingxiang, the Yin of Jinling Mansion, and Li Wenhan of the Great Chu Shangzhu State have been ordered to return to Beijing, and the whole mansion is busy packing up their bags. It's a pity that their little master is like no one.

"Hey——," Li Shentong let out an inexplicable sigh as if he had just come back from a dream.

"Hey——," An even more beautiful sigh came from his ears, Li Shentong was slightly stunned, and turned his head to see a young girl sitting next to him at some point. Her pink little face in a blue palace dress can only be described as exquisite, and she looks even smaller than Li Shentong.

"Allure, why are you here" Li Shentong smiled easily and looked at the woman beside him.

"Gu Xuanwu sent me a message saying that you have an old man here who wants to see me."

"Gu Xuanwu?" Li Shentong said softly, looking down at the ground and not knowing what he was thinking.

"Let's go, I really should let you meet too"

With that, Li Shentong led the woman to the quiet courtyard.

When the woman entered, she stopped, as if to see the inside of the house.

The drunken maniac is still yelling.

"Who did Gu Xuanwu ask me to meet?" The woman's delicate face with light makeup is elegant, and a strand of beautiful long hair is gently sprinkled down. She has a beauty that ordinary women envy, with crescent-like eyebrows, a pair of big eyes like stars and bright moon, a small and lovely nose, red lips like dotted red, a smile like a flower, delicate skin like crisp snow, a beautiful posture, and a moving demeanor.

The woman's beautiful eyes looked at the madman sitting in the corner like a tired man, unkempt, ragged, and dirty hair, looking decadent and funny. She shook her head slightly, turned to Li Shentong and frowned, and said, "Master Li, why is there a beggar in the house?" Could it be that you are now in the company of beggars? Although the woman was born like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, and she frowned and looked charming, her tone was full of ridicule.

Li Shentong looked at the person in front of him, and there was no expression on his fair face.

"Ning Chengcheng, look at who he is."

The woman was surprised when she heard this, and looked at it carefully, and this time, she covered her mouth with her shocked jade hand, and her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.

"How is it possible, how is it possible?" The woman lost her voice.

"Brother Lin didn't die, I don't know what's going on, I also saw Brother Lin yesterday."

"Yes, yes, this is my big brother Lin" Ning Qingcheng's voice trembled, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help but fall.

After a long time, Ning Chengcheng finally calmed down, his jade hand caressed his chest, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, but he still stood at the door, without the slightest intention of coming in. Outside, it was as if the wind was blowing, the cold air was blowing into the house, and the candlelight flickered and flickered.

It was as if her gentle movement would wake her up from this dream.

"Is he okay? How could it have fallen to such a point" Ning Qingcheng stared at Lin Chen, the humble gentleman who grinned at her in the sun and laughed at her back then had indeed fallen to such a point.

Li Shentong heard Ning Chengcheng say this, and said softly: "Allure, Brother Lin seems to have forgotten everything before, what happened back then, I have calculated the Battle of Tongling in the past few years, Brother Lin will not even have this military knowledge, there must be someone guarding the mouth of the Liuyang River."

After listening to Li Shentong's words, Ning Qingcheng's eyes rolled, and his delicate and beautiful face was as if he had heard what a ridiculous thing he had heard, and suddenly the flowers and branches of laughter trembled: "Zhao Jiannan, just by him, the Tianhuang Army won all three battles that year, the Northern Wei army retreated more than 300 miles, and saw that it was about to win a big victory, the Qingyang defenders opened the gate and let Zhao Jiannan's Binghe Iron Cavalry enter the pass, and the 30,000 silver dragon cavalry stationed in the Liuyang River returned to defense, which led to the final defeat, the 30,000 silver dragon cavalry was wiped out, Lin Chen was missing, and the Northern Wei army opened a killing ring in Tongling Pass, There is not one out of ten people. ”

As soon as the words fell, the figure of the drunken madman Lin Chen sitting in the corner trembled slightly, but the two people who were talking didn't notice it.

Hearing this, Li Shentong frowned, his tall figure took a step forward, with anger in his eyes, staring at Ning Tingcheng and asking: "In this case, why is no one held accountable for what happened back then, but put the responsibility on Brother Lin!" The more Li Shentong spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes staring at Ning Qingcheng in front of him, and he was furious.

"No one is being held accountable, does anyone dare to pursue it? Don't you understand if others don't understand? ”

At this time, Lin Chen in the corner seemed to have rested enough, stood up again, and began to shout again: "You are Lin Chen, you are Lin Chen." He smirked and ran over.

ran all the way to Ning Chengcheng's body, and suddenly stretched out his dirty hand and wanted to go to Ning Chengcheng's jade hand, still smiling stupidly in his mouth:

"Hehe, you're Lin Chen~"

Ning Chengcheng saw that Lin Chen's body was full of stink, like a beggar, but he didn't guard against him from holding his hand, but instead stretched out his hands and hugged Lin Chen.
