Lin Xiuwen and Zuo Yin were in front of the convoy, except for Lin Hong at the front, Lin Xiuwen who was with Zuo Yin, and the rest of the Lingnan Gang followed behind the convoy.

Therefore, when Lin Xiuwen whispered such shocking words, the people who heard it were also the people who guarded the camp of the Patriotic Princess.

It's just obvious that they don't care about these words, for them, the strength is the capital to speak, and empty words are the most unfounded.

Lin Xiuwen also didn't seem to care about other people's opinions, and after finishing speaking, he continued to look ahead, seemingly innocent passers-by. The reason why Zuo Yin was shocked was because in his image, Lin Xiuwen has always been a calm and sensitive person, who seems to know a lot, and sees things better than him Zuo Yin.

Now he said such words, which reminded Zuo Yin of a coquettish old man who had just been separated. Zuo Yin shook his head, comparing the two of them, those who know will definitely think he is crazy.

Thinking about it, the helm of the Lingnan Gang also arrived unconsciously.

It is now twilight, and the setting sun will wave the golden light on this wide mansion, reflecting the two stone tigers at the door, as if wearing a layer of golden armor, which is very spectacular.

The delicate plaque on the gate has the word "Lin Fu" written on it, although Zuo Yin does not understand the words, but he can still feel an atmosphere.

On both sides of the door, there is a couplet, written "a word on the lake on the moon, three see Lingnan spring", compared with the atmosphere of "Lin Mansion", this cross couplet is a little delicate.

Lin Hong took the lead in stopping, and the others also knew the place, and began to dismount and tidy up things. Wu Jing looked at the convoy behind him and asked, "There are a little more people this time, can you stay?" ”

Lin Hong patted his chest proudly, "Where is Gong Wu, you know Qingshan City, the population is not large, so the land is not expensive, and I have expanded it over the years." ”

Wu Jing smiled: "You, you, I said back then that you kid was really poor, the bow and arrow on the corpse in the battlefield, the cheerful one you picked up, and now you are buying land like a landlord's old wealth." ”

In front of Wu Jing, Lin Hong still seems to be the guard battalion soldier thirty years ago, and he does not have the demeanor of the eldest brother of the first person in the underworld in Qingshan City, but the people of the Lingnan Gang naturally know the relationship between their gang leader and Wei Guogong.

The door of the Lin Mansion was already wide open when the group approached, and a person who looked like a steward began to greet at the door, Lin Xiuwen turned his head and introduced to Zuo Yin: "Money is in charge." ”

Entering the Lin Mansion, Lin Hong led Wu Jing all the way inside, and the courtyard of the first and second entrances showed the unique cave of the Lin Mansion.

Behind the two, Gongsun Tao followed unhurriedly, followed by Lin Xiuwen and Zuo Yin.

Zuo Yin entered the Lin Mansion, only to find that the inside was really unique, when he first entered, it seemed to be wide, but the windows of the houses on both sides were unusually small, like the design of a bow and arrow, and there seemed to be a lot of space on the roof.

Lin Xiuwen saw Zuo Yin's doubts and explained: "My father has always liked to design the Lin Mansion with defensive capabilities, veterans who came down from the battlefield, that's it. ”

Zuo Yin was noncommittal, anyway, this is people's preference, and it is better for him to remain silent in this situation.

The other members of the convoy were led by the money manager of the Lin Mansion to another room, thinking that they would be entertained there, Zuo Yin originally wanted to go with the big team, after all, he was just an ordinary entourage, but as soon as his footsteps were raised, Lin Xiuwen had already stopped him.

"Today, even if you are my Lin Xiuwen's guest, why don't you give me a face?"

Zuo Yin glanced at Lin Xiuwen seriously, and found that his expression did not seem to be fake, and at this time, Lin Lao walked over leisurely, glanced at the two of them inexplicably, and urged:

"If you want to go, hurry up, isn't it just a meal with a few of us old men, as for it?"

Lin Lao unceremoniously "reprimanded" the two of them, and in his words, he directly regarded Wu Jing, Lin Hong and others as old men, but he was extremely arrogant.

Zuo Yin goes in and out of the battlefield, and he is downbeat about life and death, but he has always been helpless about the advice of this kind of old-timer, and he is not a person who twists and turns, so he directly hugged Lin Xiuwen and said:

"In this way, thank you Brother Lin for the invitation."

Lin Lao snorted lightly, as if he was satisfied with Zuo Yin's "acquaintance", and the three of them immediately went to the main hall of the Lin Mansion, behind the main hall, separated by a huge screen, it was tonight's dinner.

Before the cross-border screen, Zuo Yin also took a look at it by the light, but just for a moment, he was suddenly stunned.

It was a scene of a bloody battle, almost as if it was happening in front of the viewer's eyes, in the center of the painting, there was an iron cavalry dressed in crimson Chongkai in a brazen rush, in front of the iron cavalry, countless cavalry in leather armor charged, looking at the costume, Zuo Yin could guess that the leather cavalry was the Northern Barbarian.

The rain, sprinkled all over the world, mixed with blood, brought a cold and silent atmosphere to this battlefield, the angry shouts of the barbarian cavalry, and the silence of the red iron cavalry, which seemed to suddenly make Zuo Yin return to that battlefield.

Lin Lao directly bypassed the screen, while Lin Xiuwen noticed Zuo Yin's distraction and urged:

"At the night banquet, you can ask directly, I think my father likes to remember the years of his youth in front of Wu Gong."

Zuo Yin smiled a little, at this point, this Lin gang leader is still somewhat similar to his master.

After crossing the screen, Zuo Yin found that there were only four people at the dinner table, Wu Gong, Lin Hong, Gongsun Tao and Lin Lao, so to speak, plus him and Lin Xiuwen, there were only six people in total.

Wu Jing saw Zuo Yin coming in, glanced at Lin Xiuwen, and smiled at Zuo Yin: "Your kid is also here, so take a seat." ”

Lin Hong obviously knew Zuo Yin's identity, and said directly: "Since Captain Zuo is also here, let's take a seat together, I have waited outside Qingshan City for so long, and I have starved to death of my old Lin." ”

Waiting for the guests outside the city, bluntly waiting for a long time, obviously not afraid of the guests misunderstanding and secretly complaining, this atmosphere, and the trust in Wu Gong, left a deep impression on Zuo Yin.

After the six people sat down, Wu Jing had Lin Hong in his right hand, Gongsun Tao in his left hand, Lin Xiuwen below Lin Hong, and Lin Lao next to Gongsun Tao, so that Zuo Yin was facing Wu Gong.

However, Zuo Yin didn't care about this, he didn't communicate much with Wu Gong along the way, but he knew Wu Gong's personality and didn't pay much attention to these little things.

After everyone took their seats, Lin Hong first poured a glass of wine for each of them, then picked up the wine glass, got up and said:

"Today, Wu Gong came to my Lin Hong's house in person, which is Wu Gong's trust in my Lin Hong, for this reason, I will first toast myself."

Wu Jing smiled: "You kid, you drank it directly." ”

Lin Hong comforted and said, "Wu Gong is better to drink less." ”

Next, Lin Hong saluted Gongsun Tao and Lin Lao in turn, and it was at this time that Zuo Yin knew that Lin Lao had saved Lin Hong's life on the battlefield, so it was no wonder that he was invited.

When it came to Zuo Yin, Lin Hong smiled and said, "Since it is Xiuwen's invitation, little brother Zuo should not be restrained." ”

Zuo Yin knew that although he was now Bai Changzhi's disciple, in the eyes of Lin Hong, the "old man", this was naturally nothing, and he could be looked down upon by him, and it was estimated that he was also stained with Lin Xiuwen's light.

And Lin Xiuwen, the person concerned, drank coarse tea indifferently, as if he hadn't heard it.

Speaking of which, the meal this time is mainly vegetarian, obviously I know Wu Gong's taste very well, most of them are some common wild mushrooms in southern Xinjiang, but if you want to eat so many kinds of food at one time in the Cangnan army, it is more difficult.

After the toast, naturally the host and guest were happy, and then Lin Hong and Wu Jing kept chatting about many things, including the current income of the Lingnan Gang, the situation in Southern Xinjiang, how the rebels in the Western Wilderness confronted the empire, and how the proton who grew up in the Northern Barbarian integrated various tribes in the Northern Barbarian, etc., Zuo Yin had an intuitive reflection of the situation in the world.

In half a year of knife practice, Yang Zizhan taught him a lot of knowledge, but after all, the time is limited, and it is not very complete.

Gongsun Tao interjected a few words from time to time, he and Lin Hong were about the same age, and if it was about the time to follow Wu Jing, it was naturally Lin Hong earlier, Gongsun Tao served as Wu Jing's guard after the Yuanjia Northern Expedition.

Seeing that the atmosphere was warm, the topic gradually turned to the Yuanjia Northern Expedition, Zuo Yin took advantage of the gap and asked, "Gang Master Lin, I don't know which battle the painting on the screen in the hall came from?" ”

The people who were still chatting stopped, and most of them smiled a little at this, but Lin Lao continued to drink the clear soup as if he hadn't heard it.

Lin Hong smiled, the faint stubble had an inexplicable charm under the lamplight, he glanced at Wu Jing, who put down his chopsticks, obviously waiting for Lin Hong's words.

Lin Hong opened his mouth and said: "The battle of Huangqi Lake was also a decisive battle with the Northern Barbarians, in that battle, Duke Wu and King Yan joined forces to eliminate nearly 100,000 elites of the Northern Barbarians, and since then, the Northern Barbarians have collapsed. ”

After a pause, Lin Hong continued: "I know that Little Brother Zuo, you are curious about the red heavy horse in the painting, that's right, that is the predecessor of the Fire Tiger. ”

Zuo Yin knew that at this time, the dinner was gradually over, and the night was already dark. Lin Hong opened his mouth and said: "Gong Wu, you have to hurry tomorrow, I, Lin Hong, will not be spared, you can rest first." ”

Wu Jing seemed to remember something, and asked Zuo Yin, "Zuo Yin, I remember that your home is near Qingshan City?" ”

Zuo Yin nodded, "It's hard for Duke Wu to remember, the former residence is in Qingshan City." ”

Wu Jing waved his hand and said, "In this case, if you miss it, go home and rest tonight, and come over early tomorrow morning." ”

Zuo Yin was a little moved by Wu Gong still remembering his own affairs, and immediately bowed his fist and left, when Lin Xiuwen sent Zuo Yin to the door, there was no one around, he said:

"Don't forget, the last time we met, my last words."

Lin Xiuwen seemed to be more concerned about this, but Zuo Yin was in the war at the time, and he didn't think much about it, and now that he thinks about it, there are still a lot of doubts, he asked:

"If it is something more important than life, I Zuo Yin has already found it, it is my master, eldest brother, and brothers in Cangnan."

Lin Xiuwen chuckled, as if he was not satisfied with this answer, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, you go home first." ”

In the winter of the seventh year of Yongshou, the last separate meeting between Lin Xiuwen and Zuo Yin ended like this.

Zuo Yin's home is in a small alley in the south of the city, when Zuo Yin walked in the alley, a faint thought floated in his heart, he followed his grandfather to the mountains to collect medicine since he was a child, and most of the time he was in the mountains, so he didn't have a deep friendship with his peers nearby, except for a fat man surnamed Wang.

Today, Zuo Yin looked at the people of Qingshan City who welcomed Wu Gong, and looked carefully, he didn't see Boss Li, nor did he see Wang Fatzi, and he felt a little disappointed in his heart, besides, tomorrow should be early in the morning, it seems that he doesn't have time to visit those two people.

"Squeak", as Zuo Yin stretched out his hand and pushed it open, the courtyard door of the old house let out a heavy gasp, as if an overwhelmed old man, after stepping into the courtyard, the scene in front of him made Zuo Yin sigh a little.

The moonlight poured down, and the yard was sprinkled with clear light, and it had not been tidied up for about nine months, and the weeds in the yard were mixed with the original herbs, giving birth to a bit of barrenness.

The old house is old, but when Zuo Yin entered the house and saw a layer of dust covering the room, Zuo Yin smiled bitterly:

"Gong Wu, it's good to go home and rest, but I still have to clean the house in the middle of the night."
