As the two talked, the atmosphere in the room became relaxed.

"Kunyu has never talked to me about you," Lu Yingyan looked at Lin Yiqing, "I thought you might be a liar, but now ......" Under Lin Yiqing's gaze, she felt a little shy, and couldn't help but hang her head, "I feel...... It was as if he had reappeared in front of me......"

"Although I know that you are not him, but when I see you, my wish has been fulfilled, and I have nothing to worry about...... Lu Yingyan sighed.

"Sister-in-law all these years...... I suffered, and if my sister-in-law needs me to do something, I will do it for my sister-in-law. Lin Yiqing understood the sad and happy feeling in her heart, and said gently, "I only ask my sister-in-law to cherish herself." ”

He never wanted her to be like Chen Wan, and she had the idea of looking for a short-sighted view.

"I understand......" Lu Yingyan sighed softly, raised her head, and when she looked at Lin Yiqing, there was no longer sadness in her eyes.

"You know what? I just heard the news that he went, and I ...... I really don't want to live anymore, I didn't eat or drink for those days, I waited for death, my father and mother were terrified, but ...... Later, I saw your news in the newspaper, and somehow, I dispelled the idea of seeking death......" Lu Yingyan looked at Lin Yiqing steadily, "Whenever I am tired of everything in this world, I think of you." The thought that you are living and existing somewhere in the world makes me willing to endure everything......"

Hearing Lu Yingyan pour out her heart, Lin Yiqing's heart actually beat a little.

"So, your presence is important to me." Lu Yingyan looked at Lin Yiqing's slightly red face and smiled slightly. "Don't worry. I'm not going to do anything stupid like that again. I'm going to live well......"

"I know that your career is his career, and I will fully support you and carry on his career." She said, her gaze turning to determination, "This is the best consolation for his heavenly spirit." ”

Hearing that Lu Yingyan wanted to fully support herself, Lin Yiqing was overjoyed. He has long heard that the Lu family behind Lu Yingyan is the Lu family, the "Maoguan" of the thirteen lines in Guangzhou, and they are extremely wealthy.

Lin Yiqing was about to say something to express his gratitude, when he suddenly heard a strange sound from the cabinet door in the corner of the room.

Lin Yiqing was shocked, his nerves had been very tight because of the last time he was assassinated by the East China Sea warriors. Even at such a moment, his waist bent. The hand unconsciously touched the hidden handle of the gun.

At this moment, the cabinet door opened, and two children, a man and a woman, rolled out of it.

Seeing that it were two children, Lin Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief and removed his hand from the handle of the gun.

He looked at the two children in front of him, this is a pair of twin brothers and sisters, born delicate and cute, and the eyebrows are very similar to himself, if there are outsiders present at this time, seeing them, they will definitely say that they are Lin Yiqing's children.

But Lin Yiqing knew that they were not his own children, but the flesh and blood of Lin Yizhe and Lu Yingyan.

The two children were also looking at him fixedly, and for a long time, a boy in a black suit and a small bow tie turned to his mother: "Mommy, why does Uncle look so much like Dady?" ”

Without waiting for her mother to answer, the girl continued to ask, "Mommy, is Uncle Dady?" ”

Hearing the children's questions, Lu Yingyan forgot to blame them for hiding in the cabinet and peeking, her heart was sour, and her eyes were a little red.

"Xiang Kun, Xiang Ying, I've seen your fourth uncle......" Lu Yingyan's voice became choked.

Hearing their mother's words, the two children understood, but their faces were still full of excitement and expectation, and the brother and sister immediately came to Lin Yiqing and bowed respectfully.

"They are Kunyu and my own flesh and blood, Xiang Kun, Xiang Ying, just because there are no boys in our Lu family's generation, and no one inherits the incense, Kunyu specially asked the two of them to follow their mother's surname," Lu Yingyan looked at the two children, her eyes were full of tears, "When they were born, Kunyu had already returned to China and was not by my side, they could only look at photos and portraits to know what their father looked like...... They had never seen their father in person, and today they ...... It's kind of seeing ......."

Lin Yiqing sighed with emotion, looking at the two cowardly children in front of him, he leaned down slightly, opened his arms, and made a "hug" movement.

The two children were stunned for a moment, then they understood, and they rushed over in unison and threw themselves into Lin Yiqing's arms.

“Dady…… Dontleaveme！ ”

“Dady…… Staywithme！ ”

Lin Yiqing let the tears flow in his arms with his two lovely children, he knew that in this world, what he inherited was not only the legacy left to him by Lin Yizhe, but also many other things.

Even if it is to give them a bright future, I must persist in fighting!

"Weng Shuping's Diary":

“…… Today, the Cabinet Concert Hall will see the draft of the recital. …… On the matter of coastal defense, Yu also drafted a draft, but Li Gaoyang thought it was inappropriate, and he was easy to draft a new draft. …… It seems that it is not feasible to borrow foreign money, and as soon as Xilin Yizhe came out with this proposal, there were quite some people who echoed it, which was really child's play. …… The purchase of an ironclad ship is not a trivial one, especially one that should not be wasted due to choking. The revival of the ceremonial residence added steamships, supplemented by land soldiers, and the old wooden ships were abolished to specialize in the maintenance of steamers, and the ironclad ships should be purchased after the actual effect was seen, and then the purchase was continued. Although the imperial court explicitly discussed and implemented the first item of salary, increasing salt cents, borrowing foreign money, and opening mining plants, Yu Shen was afraid that the disadvantages would be easy to occur, and many would hinder ......"

“…… Yesterday, I heard that Lin Yiqing accepted two daughters in Japan, one is the daughter of the Japanese rebel general Kirino Toshiaki, and the other is the daughter of a businessman. The daughter of Gai Qi's acceptance is actually an outcast of Japan, and for her own personal feelings, she does not hesitate to abandon her ancestral temple, go to Middle-earth, and commit herself to a different kind. Whoever reads the books of the sages. Not far away. And he happily accepted her as a concubine, which can really be described as a shame and a shame for Shilin...... The Magi will not tolerate this person who hides filth and filth, and when he arrives in Beijing, he should have a bullet seal to wait for him......"

“…… Hearing that Lin Yiqing was assassinated in Liudie, it was a great disaster for Japan, and there were many people who wanted to take his life. And such a chaotic country, the imperial court actually accepted it, gave him a knighthood, and worried about his misfortune, specially sent a 'Kaiji' military ship to pick up and drop off Tianjin, which can be described as extremely upside down! How! How! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

It was already evening, in the direction of Beijing to Tongzhou, a horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly on a deserted dirt road.

The afterglow of the red sun gradually dimmed in the sky, and the cool summer breeze passed through the trees beside the road, bringing a "bang-la-la" sound. Sweat slowly trickled down the criss-crossing wrinkles of the old coachman. He flicked his whip vigorously, and the two old horses pulling the cart paid no heed. Still tossing forward slowly. There was still at least half a distance from the village where he was staying, and the old coachman began to feel uneasy. He flicked again, this time firmly on the horse's rump, and the horse scurried forward desperately in pain, and the wheel made a louder noise.

The people in the car felt the change in speed, and a pot-bellied businessman poked his head out, frowned at the sky and asked, "Boss Che, how long will it take to arrive?" ”

The old coachman wiped his sweat and replied, "It's coming, it's almost there." The merchant snorted disapprovingly, then retracted into the car.

The merchant's wife, with a large package on her lap, looked at her husband with inquiring eyes, who said nothing with a cold face. If it weren't for the fact that this mother-in-law was heartbroken and had a few dollars, she should have joined the team of dart cars to go to the capital. Sleeping in the wilderness is still a trivial matter now, and encountering bandits is no joke.

The two missionary-looking foreigners were not affected in the slightest, they were uncles and nephews, chatting with their fellow travelers in the official dialect of the north. Since the signing of the Treaty of Beijing, the activities of missionaries have become significantly more frequent, especially in the Zhili area, and missionaries can often be seen on the official roads.

The elderly missionary lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, "This is just Bali Bridge, why can't I get to the village tonight, it seems that I will have to sleep in the wilderness." ”

The corners of the fat merchant's eyes twitched unconsciously. The young missionary was anxious: "How can this be done?" I heard that the road has been very rough lately. ”

No one spoke, and the woman's face showed a look of fear, and she huddled behind her husband with the package in her arms.

There was no movement on the carriage for a while, except for the sound of horses' hooves outside and the shouting of the old coachman. The other merchants in the car watched with some curiosity at the uneasy expressions of the two foreigners, and the young missionary seemed eager to prove his mettle. The older missionary sensed his nephew's imminent move, just as he had been when he was younger, and it was indeed a family. He didn't want to actually encounter the bandits, there were things in the luggage in the car that he regarded as treasures, and the few people in front of him all looked like they needed to be protected.

The sound of horses' hooves from behind the carriage made everyone nervous, the woman looked almost crying, the fat flesh on the merchant's face trembled intermittently, and the young man muttered to himself with a pale face. The old coachman peeked in, and three black-clad riders were following the car unhurriedly. The coachman whistled suddenly, and the whip in his hand waved vigorously, and the two old horses, as if aware of the danger, galloped on all fours, but in a moment the rider's figure was hidden in the twilight.

Except for the old coachman, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. The elderly missionary poured out sweet wine from his skin and distributed it to the crowd. Even the merchant's wife took a sip, and her face turned red.

"It's a bad wine." Everyone was shocked when they suddenly heard the words coming from the luggage pile behind them. A stocky figure emerged from behind a large box, snatched the pouch from the missionary's hand, and poured the wine into his mouth with his neck tilted. The other party was wearing a large bloated leather robe, with a turban on his head, and his body was dirty. Although the other party looked like a missionary, the young missionary was still angry at his rudeness, but his uncle stopped him.

The missionary drank all the wine from his skin and wiped his mouth with great satisfaction.

"This wine is still warm and fragrant."

The older missionary noticed the silver cross on the other's chest, and immediately said respectfully: "If you want to drink, I have it, and when we get to the accommodation, we will warm a vat of wine and drink it happily." ”

The other party looked at it carefully, and suddenly smiled in a hoarse voice: "God forbid, it turns out that we are a family." ”

Suddenly, the young missionary heard the words "family." Only then did I see the old man in front of him with a flat face, dirty and sticky with dust. It turned out to be a senior Jesuit priest.

"My name is Valentino. Pizza from Italy. Qianguo's name is Wei Guoliang. The other person introduced himself in Italian.

Several businessmen in the car looked at each other at a loss. The woman frowned at the smell of the man, her husband was surprised to find that the missionary's dirty garment was an expensive golden retriever's fur robe, and the young man complained to the coachman dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say that it would only carry five people?" No wonder it's so slow all the way. ”

Valentino glared at him, "I paid for it." ”

In the midst of the commotion, Valentino asked, "Why are there so many people walking at night tonight?" Everyone was startled again, and when they quieted down, they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind the car. Valentino got out of the car and sat next to the old driver.

"Didn't you come out." The old guy complained. Valentino grinned, "I can't stand the smell of wine." As he spoke, a black horse passed by the cart, with a knight's cloak and hood. Cover your body tightly. "Strange, this back is so familiar." Valentino scratched his head and suddenly said loudly, "Hey, the one ahead." The rider turned and glanced at Valentino, and the horse did not stop for a moment, and disappeared into the mountain road ahead.

In the silence of the night, only the carriage was left waddling along. "No way, I have to spend the night on the road."

The old coachman looked up at the rising moon. A whistle came from nowhere, and a woman's scream was heard in the car, and the first arrow pierced through the canvas carport and nailed to the wooden frame.

The bandits' caravan of twenty-three men numbered in number, appearing and disappearing like ghosts behind the car.

The first few people were supposed to be the bandits' outposts. The young missionary could not stand the screams that did not stop. Climb out of the car.

"What can I do?"

Valentino glanced at the young man contemptuously, "Send to death." ”

More arrows were fired. Darkness is the advantage of the bandits, but in terms of the accuracy of their archery, they are far from the dart game, but a skilled archer can fire four arrows in a single breath.

Valentino lifted his leather robe, revealing a revolver at his waist, rubbed his hands together, drew his gun sharply, and fired at the pursuing bandits. The drunkard's marksmanship was obviously very skillful, and a few shots rang out, and the chasing knights kept falling, but at this moment, the old horse pulling the cart could no longer bear the mission of escaping, and fell in a sharp turn, and the people in the cart were thrown to the ground.

Valentino rose from the ground very neatly, without the slightest sign of age. His first opponent rushed in from the left. Effortlessly, Valentino dodged the horse's hooves and fired a shot into the horse's hind legs, sending the knight tumbling down the ditch with the horse. The second opponent's saber swept past Valentino's chest, and Valentino rolled out between his horse's legs, and this time he jumped up and fired a shot, which knocked him to the ground.

At this time, the uncle and nephew missionary also took the pistol and began to shoot.

The situation was unfavorable for the passengers, and except for three missionaries, the others had lost or had no combat effectiveness at all. Varantino panted and knocked down the fifth opponent, then found himself surrounded by the remaining eleven. The uncle and nephew had only fired two shots and had already become captives.

"Well, let you bastards see how powerful the messenger of God is!" Varantino screamed and dropped the depleted pistol and reached for the long knife at his waist. At this moment, an arrow pierced the knight's throat in the slightest, and the tail of the arrow, which was still trembling, showed that it was an arrow shot by a Qianguo man. The robbers panicked, and then a second man fell. The rest began to turn their horses' heads and charge in the direction of the arrows.

"Come back! I'm here! No one cared about the diminutive missionary anymore, so Valentino angrily lifted his uncle and nephew up on the ground.

The bandits surrounded the mysterious knight just now, and even if it was nine to one, the bandits still had difficulty resisting each other's long knives and sharp arrows. In the sharp offensive of the opponent, some people kept screaming and falling.

The bandits' morale finally crumbled, and the remaining three fled in a panic.

Only then did Valentino see clearly that the knight in front of him was a masked woman dressed in black.

The woman in black saw a foreigner in front of her, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes, her eyes swept over Valentino's pistol that fell to the ground, looked at several other passengers, turned the horse's head and was about to leave, to chase the bandits.

"Wait!" Valentino shouted, and the woman in black, who was about to leave, hesitated for a moment and stopped.

"May I ask the name of the life-saving benefactor?" Valentino came to her, put his hand on his chest, bowed deeply to her, and asked respectfully in fluent Chinese, looking the same as just now.

The woman in black turned around and stared at Valentino with sparkling eyes, "You don't need to know. ”

"May God bless you, brave young lady." Knowing that she couldn't say her name, Valentino bowed again.

"I don't need your gods." The woman in black sneered.

"You can't talk like that, miss." Valentino smiled and said, "God is everywhere. It was He who borrowed your hand and saved us all. ”

The woman in black seemed to have heard a big joke and couldn't help but sneer.

"If your God really exists, he should have saved you by himself, not me!" (To be continued......)

PS: A woman looked through her husband's mobile phone and found a text message from her husband to her best friend, which was very plain and normal: "The stock market has been good recently, it is recommended to hold positions, 002291, 000524, 002467, 002582". My wife, who usually speculates in stocks, looked up the name of the stock out of curiosity. It was: "Saturday", "Oriental Hotel", "263", "I miss you so much"! Nima, I can't live this day! Fire prevention and anti-theft, you have to understand the stock!
