It was late at night, and Zigong was stuck in a chair, describing it as withered.

There was no anger on his face...... He never showed his anger.

“…… In the end, he was very excited to leave. ”

According to Gongsun Jusan's report, this afternoon, the Confucian Sect attacked Yun Chongbo again, but the effect was unexpectedly poor.

This time's position is based on "loving the people", and the "peace in the world" that criticizes Taiping Dao is just a slogan, but once the incident is over, the poison of the remnants of the people and the exhaustion of plundering the people are more than the surnames of the emperors, as for the operation, there is no fixed speaker, but by a number of people crossing, each person is also carefully selected in advance according to certain conditions, and then hinted and influenced, as for Jusan himself, he also stayed in the teahouse, monitoring and ensuring that the conversation did not deviate from the direction.

Since everyone thought that they were saying "words from their hearts", Ju San believed that Yun Chongbo would never see that the performance in front of him was specially prepared for him. However, he didn't expect that just after the beginning, Yun Chongbo had already blushed angrily.

"That's...... Taiping Dao, Taiping Dao is really working hard for the people, and will never harm the people! ”

He was a little stunned, but Ju San had already designed a number of plans, and soon, he had led several people to give some examples he knew, about how the army of Taiping Dao fought with the people for food, how to drive the people into the abyss, and so on.

Very cautious, although he didn't believe that Yun Chongbo would know much history, Jusan still prepared carefully, none of these examples were false, and many of them happened in the northern states, hoping to arouse Yun Chongbo's resonance.

"Yes...... He went so far as to give a very strange example. ”

Angry and agitated, Yun Chongbo's speech was staccato and did not point to any specific location. According to Gongsun Jusan's understanding, it seems that somewhere, Taiping Dao once adopted a relatively hard combat strategy in order not to harm the people, but the imperial army did not hesitate to push a large number of people into the abyss.

"It seems to say that at that time, the tactics used by the imperial court actually caused very little damage to the Taiping army, but it was more threatening to the imperial court's own defenders, but at the same time, it would affect hundreds of people."

slapped the table heavily and told Jusan and the others that Taiping Dao tried to restrain himself in order not to harm the people, but the imperial court did not hesitate to let hundreds of thousands of people die together just to put a black pot on Taiping Dao's back.

"I'm telling you, it's all true, it's absolutely true!"

Because he didn't know what Yun Chongbo was talking about, Jusan couldn't make a targeted counterattack, and he was in a big mess, so he didn't take any offensive anymore and watched Yun Chongbo leave.

"He seems to be very confident in that example, and strongly accuses that the examples we gave are all the same, and they are all planted by the imperial court on the head of the Taiping Road."

There was a little frustration in his voice, this was not the first time Gongsun Jusan had "spoken" independently, and it was not the first time he had failed, but, before, there had never been such an inexplicable failure.

"Planting ......"

The voice was very calm, and there was no confusion like Ju San, but when Ju San heard it, he felt that there seemed to be a faint anger in Zigong's voice.

"Anyway, you should step back first."

Let Jusan leave, Zigong sat deeper.

“…… Jaeyu, how did you go so far? ”

Confucianism attaches great importance to "prudence and independence", and decades of reading and nurturing qi have allowed Zigong to remain solemn and calm in the absence of people, but a pair of eyes like eagle eyes seem to be about to burn.

"Just to defeat me, are you willing to tell people the truth about the water and stone dog city?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The night was deep, and the crescent moon was like a knife, moving mercilessly through the clouds. Under the moon, Zhujiabao is still huge and majestic, adding a bit of mystery.

(What should I do?) ）

Arranged to live with the child servants, and after the companions fell asleep, Ao happily slipped out, ready to learn more about Zhujiabao.

(Anyway, I seem to have some potential to be a high-level subordinate, and I am very satisfied with the young lady's service...... Even if you get caught and run out, you shouldn't be kicked out of the door right away, right? ）

It is very absurd to say, this afternoon, Ao Xing's greedy nature was accidentally revealed, and he had a vicious battle with Ah Fu, fighting to the point that both stomachs were broken, but because of this, he won Zhu Zimu's great favor.

"Good boy, what a good boy!"

patting Ao Xing heavily, Zhu Zimu smiled like a flower, telling him that he liked "tough men" the most.

"Of course you're not a man yet, but it's all the same, it's good, it's good!"

I don't understand what the relationship between "hardness" and "being able to eat" is, but Ao Xingxing knows that this battle has made him a "celebrity" in Zhujiabao, and he is also regarded as a "red man" in the eyes of the young lady by many servants.

The reunion of many identities was not Ao Xingxing's voluntariness, but it had greatly improved his status, just like just now, it was clear that the two family members saw him, but they just smiled and waved their hands, and let themselves run in the direction of the kitchen.

(Well, first of all, we must find out what that "adulterous thief" is all about!) ）

Recalling that day, it was really a great shame, and it made Ao Xingxing to be caught by Emperor Xiang first, and made a number of promises, so that Emperor Xiang first laughed wildly and promised to "hold down" this matter, and when he really thought about it, he gritted his teeth.

"Bastard, it's out again!"

With the sudden shouting and whistle, the two family members who had just passed hurriedly ran back, their faces were full of fierceness, and they really looked very murderous.

(Well, what's going on?) ）

was stunned, but Ao Xingxing suddenly heard a shout that made his heart flutter.

"Don't mess around...... Today, be sure to catch this ghost! ”

(head?) The Zhu family's measure words are really strange...... ）

Muttering, Ao Xingxing did not run with the family to the place where there was a riot, but followed the route he had observed before, moving quickly through the garden.

(so many people...... I'm not going to join in the fun! ）

Finding a high point and climbing on a tree, Ao happily returned to his original appearance, his eyes blazing, staring at the place where the family was surrounding.

(Very quickly, indeed...... At this speed, what kind of light power is it? ）

In the chaos, Ao Xingxing could see clearly, a small black shadow quickly haunted the window, fast as a ghost, as fast as a spark, and even once, it swept in front of a family member, and it only made the person scratch his head in confusion, as if he was wondering about the wind coming from there.

(Good guy, although I don't know how long the force is, but at least I can't do this speed between square inches...... ）

The heart gradually frightened, even more suspicious, it is not easy to practice light exercises to this point, it is said that it is enough to become famous, why would you be willing to fall and do such a thing?

(And, most importantly...... Why is it counted on my head? ）

If you look closely, you can't see the appearance of the black shadow clearly, but even you can't see it clearly, Ao Xingxing really can't believe that someone in the Zhu family can see the appearance of that person and associate it with himself.

(Besides, this one is really a little small...... ）

On closer inspection, the shadow seemed to have something like a burden attached to his back, and as he broke through the window again and again, the burden grew bigger, and every time he came out of a certain window, it would bring a burst of angry scolding.

(What's the use of scolding, can scolding kill people?) ）

Sneering, Ao Xingxing lowered his body slightly and began to move towards a new location.

(This encirclement, this orientation...... I don't believe you're not coming from here! ）

After a while, it seemed that he was satisfied with today's harvest, and he seemed to be afraid of more and more family members, and the black shadow suddenly stopped, and even his body seemed to shrink a little.

"Be careful, you're going to run!"

The family members had obviously gained experience, but it did not help them to defeat the enemy, and their shrunken bodies suddenly swelled, bringing extremely high speeds, like a black light, and flew out of the crowd with a "bang".

“…… Chase, you must chase it, I don't believe it can run to death! ”

Roaring indignantly, the family members held torches and chased in the direction where the black light had fled, and at the same time, Ao Xingxing, who was in the dark, showed a cold smile.

(Cunning guy, alas...... It's me! ）

The eyes are extremely poisonous, and he has long seen that the other party is using the technique of "confusing the enemy", and he is not moved at all, Ao Xingxing lurks quietly until the prey comes to him, Fang jumps out and swings down the branch that has already been broken!

"Bastard...... Give me back my innocence! ”

The innocence sought, but ...... What he harvested, but it was the "innocence" that Ao Xingxing did not expect at all.

It was very accurate enough to predict the route of the other party's retreat, and it was unpleasant to hit the black shadow that could still move at high speed with a big burden, but, as soon as it hit, Ao Xingxing felt that the feeling was actually very strange, it seemed to be boneless, but it seemed to be tenacious and abnormal...... Anyway, it doesn't look like a human being.

If it's just a strange feeling, left and right, the heavy blow has caused the other party to stop abruptly, and fell to the ground with the burden behind him, but..., just as Ao Xingxing just breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to look at his face under the black clothes, the other party had a violent convulsion, and his body quickly increased again.

(Bastard stuff...... It makes so much sense! ）

Caught off guard, completely overwhelmed by the black mist, Ao Xingxing couldn't see it, but the faint sour smell that came into his nose was enough for him to understand why there was such a strange feeling just now, and what this black mist was...... Even, I thought about why I was regarded as a "thief".

(When did a guy who should only be eaten as an octopus, become so powerful?!) ）

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a blink of an eye, the black mist has been dispersed, his eyes are round, Ao Xingxing finally saw clearly, there was a blue-veined octopus on the ground opposite, it seemed that he was beaten by himself, crawling on eight feet, and his two eyes also swayed, only or there was a prejudice first, no matter how Ao Xingxing looked at it, he felt that his eyes were not like ignorant beasts, but very obscene.

(This...... It's a specially refined "Warcraft", but what kind of pervert will find a way to cultivate a Warcraft that steals women's underwear? ）

I don't know what to do, and I don't know what to do with this thing, Ao happily grabbed his head, and was a little distressed for a while.

(Could it be that I caught it and brought it to Miss Zhu to say that I caught this octopus and it has nothing to do with me...... If you're happy, bake it and eat it...... Hmm, although she is big, she won't be so big, right? ）

Fortunately, the problem provided a solution on its own, and it seemed to recognize Ao Xingxing, and the octopus suddenly jumped up from the ground, pounced on his hand, and wrapped itself tightly.

"Hey, what are you doing......"

Without finishing a sentence, Ao Xingxing was already dumbfounded, and when it touched his palm, the octopus was rapidly shrinking and drying up, and finally became a small doll, lying on his hand.

Looking at the doll that he bought with his own hands and gave to Zhu Zimu with his own hands, Ao Xingxing suddenly squatted down and hugged his head tightly.

"Bastard thing...... That's what a false accusation! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The fire is very big, but he is reluctant to throw this doll away, Ao Xingxing sighed for a while, before taking the doll into his arms, turning his head, but frowning at the big burden on the ground.

(What should I do with these things...... Not? ）

Suddenly alert, in the surrounding air, in addition to the sour smell of ink, there was a faint smell of blood, and it was rapidly approaching.

(This place is close to the outer wall...... Someone is going to come in through the wall! These trees ...... It's not a forest in a garden, it's a hedge! ）

Suddenly turned around, but it was too late, "touch" sounded, someone had already turned over and jumped in, before he could see his face, he had already felt that the blood was pressing, and the cover was covered with blood, and when he looked closely, it was a suit!

This surprise is not trivial, when Ao Xingxing wants to transform again, where is it still too late? But seeing that Ah Fu was also taken aback, the halberd pointed to himself and said, "You...... Thieves from there! ”

(Small...... Thieves?! ）

Just wondering why he was not a "lewd thief", Ao Xingxing suddenly remembered that his body was now sprayed with ink, and his face was difficult to identify, and Ah Fu had only seen him twice, so it was no wonder that he couldn't recognize it.

The most afraid is to be scolded again What kind of thief, this time the heart is wide, although I see that Ah Fu is vicious and seems to be going to kill the general, Ao Xingxing is not afraid, just about to escape, but when he sees Ah Fu pounced to half of the powerless, he suddenly fell, if it wasn't for Ao Xingxing to catch it quickly, I am afraid that I will not fall into a lot of meat and eight vegetarians.

"Hey...... What do you mean by that...... If you say this, you will faint...... What should I do?! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"In short, Sister Afu fainted all of a sudden, and her condition ...... It's not too right, I have to call you, Miss. ”

"What, Afu!?"

After a short examination, Ao Xingxing confirmed that Afu couldn't wake up in a short time, but he turned back to the state of a child, and he couldn't go to Zhu Zimu with an adult on his back, and in the end, he had to rely on his "favor" to go to Zhu Zimu for help, naturally, he didn't forget to lie for himself, and repeatedly emphasized that he saw "a very suspicious black man", and then ran over, only to see Afu lying on the ground, constantly moving.

"Negroes? I don't care what black and white fan boy he is! Take me to Afu first! ”

During the day, Ao Xingxing once felt that Zhu Zimu's banter towards Afu was disrespectful, and he even felt that the pair might not be so compatible with the master and servant, but at this moment, looking at Zhu Zimu's reaction, no one would doubt whether she really cared about Afu.

Like a female cat who was stepped on by her tail and took away her cubs, Zhu Zimu had angry fire in her eyes, her face turned red, and she quickly asked about the situation and location of Afu, and immediately changed into a short casual clothes, and slipped out of the small building through a well-closed window on the outside, regardless of the fact that Ao Xingxing's eyes were about to jump out.

"You ......"

"What are you, take me to Afu!"

When she found Afu, she was still in a coma, and at this time, Ao Xingxing found that Miss Zhu, who looked delicate, actually seemed to be a very spicy and tough type.

After two clicks, he found the wound on Afu's lower abdomen, and tore off her sleeve, quickly tied the wound, and put Afu's whole person horizontally to his shoulder, and at the same time he could hold Ao Xingxing around his waist, Zhu Zimu returned to his small building at a faster speed than when he came, without alarming any guards.

(Oh, what a daughter of a martial arts family!) ）

But more than that, there was another thing that really made Ao Xingxing frown secretly: just now, he didn't check Afu's wound, on the one hand, it was because he took into account the concerns of men and women about not kissing, and on the other hand, he felt that her coma was from other aspects, and the blood loss was not very serious, which was also proved by Zhu Zimu when he treated Afu's wound.

(But...... It's not her own blood, but whose blood is it? ）

Ao Xing's question has been answered for a while, under Zhu Zimu's first aid, Ah Fu soon woke up, his face was pale and haggard, and after seeing Zhu Zimu clearly, he seemed to be unable to hold on to it and immediately collapsed, hugged Zhu Zimu tightly, and cried.

"Zhu Xiaocai is dead...... He's dead! Die right in front of me, and I watched him die with my own eyes! Dead! ”

Suddenly tensed, his face stiffened as if he had just swallowed a fly, and he seemed to want to get angry and scream, but Zhu Zimu immediately relaxed again, and with an indescribable sadness, he gently hugged Ah Fu.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's all trivial...... Afu, you relax, relax, sister is here, sister is with you......"

Gently coaxed Afu, helped her relax, and slowly fell asleep, at this moment, Zhu Zimu completely lost the brainless demeanor of his usual days, as if he had suddenly matured more than ten years old, and his body exuded a gentle and kind brilliance.

But, all this, Ao Xingxing had no chance to see, and at the same time that Zhu Zimu began to take care of Ah Fu, he quit with interest, of course...... I haven't been interested enough not to listen to what is being said inside.

(Zhu Er is dead...... What's going on?! ）

Everything was so unexpected tonight, and with Ao Xingxing's ability and shrewdness, he had a headache for a while, until the door opened softly with a "dumb" sound, and he suddenly woke up.

(Wait, according to the rules of the family opera, now, it should be...... ）

For a while, Ao Xingxing felt very absurd, and he was already thinking about whether to restore his body and strength immediately, but before he made any moves, he had heard Zhu Zimu's sigh, such a sad and beautiful voice.

"Xiao Kai, I really want to thank you for today's events, if it weren't for you, that stubborn stupid girl, I don't know what it would become, but ......"

After "but", Ao Xingxing's stomach was already very certain, but on the contrary, he hoped that he had not guessed and did not guess correctly.

“…… However, there are some things that cannot be seen by outsiders, so ...... Sister has to be sorry for you, Xiao Kai. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Autumn is deep, winter has not arrived, the wind is as cold as a knife, the spring and summer color pieces are harvested, and after that, there are thousands of fine rain lines, shuttling back and forth, weaving and dyeing the dry yellow infinite.

Moving the hat on his head, he squinted at the sea, looking at the buildings not far away, and was a little timid.

…… Coming to report to the white-haired people that their only son is dead, such a task can make any brave man cowardly.

What's more, the place he came from was not an ordinary portal, but the "Tiannan Lin Family" that had dominated Yuan Zhong for many years! The object of his report is not an ordinary child, but the head of the Tiannan Lin family, Lin Jiading!

Although there are still a few miles away, you can also see the back mountain of Linjiabao that has been cut into a flat by walking through the sea, and see the four big characters engraved on the mountain stone.

"Eight Yuan Nine Mu!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Please have tea with the King of the North."

Unlike most families, the Tiannan Lin family has always had an ambiguous attitude since the incident in the Little Heavenly Kingdom, although they also denounced it on the surface, but secretly there was a lot of transportation, so today, when Yuanzhou has been completely based on the Little Heavenly Kingdom, they can still maintain a certain degree of status and resources. Even above, there are some children surnamed Lin who have joined the Little Heavenly Kingdom and served in front of the battle.

Especially in the sea, before his strength awakened, he was chased and killed by the imperial army for thousands of miles, and among the generals who sacrificed their lives to protect each other, there were Lin family brothers from Yuanzhou, and for this reason, he has always had a special affection for the Lin family.

However, including the sea, among the kings of the Little Heavenly Kingdom, none of them knew that Lin Fengxian, the first of the twenty-two marquis, was actually the only son of the Lin family, Lin Jizong!

In the Lin family's study, the white-haired old woman offered fragrant tea, gently retreated, and sat beside her husband.

"Thank you Beiwang for coming here, but ...... We already know about the dogs. ”

Of course, you should know that the Little Heavenly Kingdom defeated Hanzhong, eighty percent of the Northern Expedition army was not allowed to return to their hometowns, and Lin and Li were killed in battle, and they were only spared from going to the sea, which ...... It was two months ago, and the whole world has heard of it.

But Lu Hai still has to come, because, after sacrificing his life to hit Guan Hulin so that Lu Hai can retreat, Lin Fengxian, who was dying, told him his identity and hoped that he could go to Lin Jiabao in person and tell his parents the news.

"They're sure they already know, but ...... I still hope that you can go once, and you can tell them in person that their son, at the last moment, is still a good man. ”

Because of this, Lu Hai rushed to Yuan Zhong as soon as he recovered from his injuries, but of course, this decision was opposed by most of the undead.

"It will be enough to send a formal messenger, and ...... The eldest son joined the Little Heavenly Kingdom and became a major general, this kind of thing, the Lin family may not want to be rumored, right? ”

Having been active in the southeast for a long time, Qingtian was quite familiar with the situation in Yuan Ming's prefectures, and Lu Hai also admitted that what he said was reasonable, but this still could not convince him.

"King of the North, I suggest that you rest for a while, and don't worry too much, ask for the king's sacrifice, it has its own value, the battle of the Northern Expedition, our gains are far greater than the loss of ......"

Wen Yan persuaded him, but Chang Geng couldn't convince Lu Hai.

"I understand what you mean, Ganwang, but ...... If it weren't for me, we could have gained more and lost less. ”

In the battle of the "Northern Expedition", although the navy finally failed, failed to achieve the strategic goal of breaking into Jizhou, triggering a popular uprising, establishing a northern base, and forcing the emperor to fight head-on, tens of thousands of powerful troops ran rampant for thousands of miles, messing up the belly of the imperial army, and dealt a heavy blow to the logistics and even morale of the imperial army, greatly reducing the pressure on the long front of the Little Heavenly Kingdom from Jinzhou in the west to Yuanzhou in the north, and taking advantage of the changes in the imperial army's encirclement and suppression of the Northern Expeditionary Army, taking advantage of a lot of advantages. In Chang Gung's estimate, after this battle, the vitality of the imperial army was damaged, and it was difficult to launch a large-scale attack within one to two years, in other words, the defeat of the Northern Expeditionary Army had won time for the Little Heavenly Kingdom to gain a firm foothold.

As for "asking for the king", it was Lin Fengxian, after his death, Chang Geng once again raised the issue of "posthumously sealed", and this time there was no resistance, including Dinghu Hou, who also died in battle, was also posthumously named "please king".

"If I hadn't insisted on what I had seen, if I hadn't gone to war...... Hey, what's the use of saying that? ”

The battle under the Stone Dog City obviously caused great pain to the sea, and he waved his hand silently, rejecting the intention of others to continue the discussion.

"Jizong, did you leave anything behind or speak?"

After hesitating, Lu Hai slowly shook his head.

"I brought the king's body back, and now it is stopping in Yuanzhou, but ......"

There is no meaning to say it, and the other party can understand it, after all, only a very small number of people know Lin Fengxian's true identity at present, and from the position of the Lin family, it seems that they may not be willing to let more people know about this matter.

"Thank you, King North."

Slightly bowing, Lin Jiading asked where the spirit was stopped, and said that he would arrange someone to pick it up. Beside him, his wife sat quietly and did not say a word.

This is much better than the scene imagined by the sea, there are no tears, there is no loss of control, but this kind of calmness makes him feel even more strange.

"I am a father, but I am the head of the family first, and after making plans and arrangements for the 'Lin family', I can grieve for my 'son'."

seemed to see the idea of the sea, Lin Jiading opened his mouth to explain, still almost unable to see feelings, always the kind of almost indifferent or cold calm.

"Jizong, since he was a child, he has had a lot of ideas, he wants to be a good man, he wants to save the world...... So, I always knew he was going to be where he is today. ”

Calmly analyzing, Lin Jiading believes that his son is very good, but he is not good enough to break through the innate limitations of the Lin family.

"In Yuanzhong, the Lin family is a big fish, but looking at the world, we are just a small fish, a small fish that others can swallow in one bite."

"Small fish should stay in the pond, and if they want to swim in the river and sea, they should think about the consequences."

"At least, I'm happy now, although he has been messing around for a few years, he hasn't affected the entire Lin family."

Trembling slightly, Lu Hai really didn't expect that someone would be able to comment on his son in cold blood.

"My dad is very cold, he doesn't believe in peace, he doesn't believe that the poor and the rich can coexist, he doesn't believe in a future where everyone is happy, he doesn't believe and he doesn't care."

"He only cares about the Lin family, he only cares about the Lin family, but I don't think so, I hope there is a world where all people can live a good life."

"I left the Lin family, he didn't like it, I'm dead now, and he probably won't be sad."

"For him, the 'Lin family' is higher than everything else, he inherited the family from his grandfather, and after that, all his energy was spent on how to pass him on again."

Recalling Lin Fengxian's last words, Lu Hai had to admit that his judgment of Lin Jiading was quite accurate, but at the same time, he felt slightly angry. This anger caused him to say something that he should not have said.

"But...... What's the point of your painstaking efforts? The King Sutra has been killed in battle, no matter who the Lin family inherits it to, it has nothing to do with you. ”

As soon as he went out, even Lu Hai himself immediately regretted it, but Lin Jiading on the opposite side was as immobile as the stone mountain behind Lin Jiabao.

"No...... It doesn't matter. ”

"Jizong is not important, I am not important, the important thing is the 'Lin family', the interests of the Tiannan Lin family should not be too affected by this turmoil, and being able to pass it on is my goal, the only principle for choosing the next head of the family is whether he can continue to protect the Lin family, as for whether he is my son or not, it doesn't matter."

said that it was even more cruel than that of the sea, Lin Jiading was able to smile slightly, and told the sea that in fact, Lin Jizong's death in the war made him feel sick.

"Really
