When Lin Feng heard this, he only felt admiration for the Ling family, but he didn't expect that they were not only extremely powerful, but also so heroic, they were really full of loyalty. It's a pity that it didn't end well in the end, and it fell like this, which is really unfair.

"Speaking of which, Lao Gu, you are still loyal, you are the only one left who has not forgotten your duties and still taken care of Ling Ning wholeheartedly."

Steward Gu said: "Back then, the ancestor of the Ling family was kind to me, and my life was all thanks to him, I swore a long time ago that I would obey the orders of the Ling Wangfu for the rest of my life, so I should spend the rest of my life doing my duty for the Ling family." ”

Lin Feng said: "I see, this is a kind of good cause and good fruit, I believe that the ancestor of the Ling family has knowledge and will thank you." ”

"By the way, then how did you come to this remote Changmo City?"

Steward Gu said: "That's the case, because the family property in King Ling's Mansion is constantly being sold, we are almost unable to support the huge mansion, and we are looking for a way out. ”

"One day, when I was tending to my ancestor's room, I found that he had left a letter in his pillow, and the envelope said that I should open it in person."

"So I opened it and took a look, there were only eleven words in the letter, the old mansion of the Ling family in Changmo City, revitalize the Ling family!"

"I was puzzled at the time, could it be that the ancestor had a premonition for this battle, and expected that the Ling family would fall? The key is that this Ling family's old mansion is so remote, how can we revive the Ling family? ”

"But after all, it was the order of the ancestor, so I came back with the young lady, but I didn't expect that this old mansion has been dilapidated to this point, it seems that it has always been empty and no one cares for it, and the people in the city don't know who the owner of the Ling mansion is, which saves us some trouble."

"It's a pity that my ability is limited, and I haven't figured out the reason yet, but the Ling family is getting worse day by day, and even the family property in the old mansion has begun to sell, I'm afraid it won't last long."

Lin Feng frowned, and he also felt that there must be something strange in this, "It's really strange, it's impossible for the Ling family ancestor to let you return to this small city for no reason. Let's not talk about how he expected it, the key is that he asked you to come back to revitalize the Ling family, instead of living in peace, indicating that there must be some secrets hidden in the Ling house. ”

Steward Gu said: "I think so too, but it's a pity that I've rummaged through the entire Ling Mansion and haven't found anything, so I'm really helpless." ”

Lin Feng asked again at this time: "Actually, I still have a question, there are only two of you left now, it stands to reason that you shouldn't have such a big expense, why do you keep selling your property?" ”

Steward Gu said: "Deputy Commander Lin doesn't know, Miss is now the only descendant of the Ling family, and the burden of revitalizing the Ling family in the future will definitely be handed over to her, of course I can't delay her." ”

"Although my own strength is low, after all, I have been in King Ling's Mansion for decades, and I still have some vision, so if I find any natural treasures that are helpful to Miss, I will try to buy them to help her cultivate and use them in the future, so I need to constantly sell my property to raise money, which is also a helpless move."

Lin Feng said, "I see, then have you asked Long Boyan, the city lord of Changmo City, for help?" ”

Steward Gu said: "Lord Long is busy with official business, I don't think he will necessarily believe what I say, and even if he does, I'm afraid he won't have time to pay attention to us." And to be honest, this matter is related to the revitalization of the Ling family, and I don't feel comfortable revealing it to others. ”

Lin Feng asked, "Indeed, then why are you telling me now?" ”

Steward Gu sighed again and said, "Actually, we don't have much money left, and we are about to run out of money." I wanted to take a gamble some time ago and tell Lord Lomboyan about it, hoping that he would be willing to help us. ”

"It's a pity that the beasts are protruding, and Lord Long is fighting the enemy on the front line, and I haven't had a chance to meet him, not to mention that this is not a good time. Later, when I heard that the army of Changmo City was about to be unable to hold on, I was desperate, thinking that it might be that the sky was going to kill my Ling family, and it would end up like this, I really didn't have the face to see the ancestor of the Ling family. ”

"At this moment, Deputy Commander Lin appeared with the Storm Army and saved us from danger, and I am grateful to you. I was fated to see it today, so I decided to tell him that Deputy Commander Lin is a great hero and is definitely a reliable person! ”

"This is also my reluctant request, I hope that Deputy Commander Lin can read the face of our Ling Wangfu and the ancestor of the Ling family and help the Ling family!"

Lin Feng didn't expect this Gu steward to trust him so much, "In that case, I'll help you explore the Ling Mansion, after all, I also admire the heroes and heroes of the Ling family very much, but I don't guarantee that I will be able to gain anything." ”

Steward Gu got up and bent down, "Deputy Commander Lin can help, the old slave is already grateful!" ”

Lin Feng also got up and said: "You're welcome, then let's do it, I see that it's not early today, and there are still affairs arranged in the army, so I'll leave first, and I'll come back tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Ling Ning, only to see that after she heard the whole thing, the whole person fell into a stupor, presumably because the amount of information was too large, and it was difficult to accept it for a while. originally thought that he was just a poor orphan, but now he has become a descendant of a famous family, and in the future, he will have to rely on himself to revitalize his family, and the pressure on his shoulders is not small.

But there are some things that can only be survived by herself, if she can't even get through this first hurdle, then not to mention the heavy burdens in the future, if you want to revive the family, you will have to go through all kinds of dangerous and unpredictable things. Maybe this is the so-called growing up overnight, she can no longer be the cowardly, immature, innocent and cute little girl, but the head of the family in the dignified Ling Wangfu!

After going back, he happened to meet the city lord Long Boyan, and he was rarely free, so he took Lin Feng to the city lord's mansion to invite him for a drink.

"Brother Lin Feng, I'm really sorry, you've been here for ten days before you have time to set up a banquet for you."

Lin Feng waved his hand and said: "It's okay, at present, military affairs are the priority, besides, the war has just passed, the losses are not small, and there should be no more extravagance and waste, so you don't have to care about these little things." ”

Long Boyan smiled: "Brother Lin Feng is really fast-talking, I really didn't mistake you as a friend, hahaha!" ”

Lin Feng said, "Brother Long, how is the army in Changmo City now?" Seeing that you're so happy, it should be pretty good. ”

Lomboyan said: "It's really thanks to you, our strength has recovered quickly, I believe it won't take long for us to fully recover, and even better than before." ”

"Especially the military formation skills you taught, all the soldiers are impressed, if you can use them flexibly, then the combat effectiveness will be doubled, and the whole morale will be much stronger!"

"Brother Lin Feng is really selfless, I don't know how many lives have been saved, I don't know how to thank you!"

Lin Feng said: "Brother Long is right, I'm just doing my part, everyone is for the common people!" ”

Then Lin Feng suddenly thought of the matter of King Ling's Mansion, so he asked Long Boyan by the way, "By the way, Brother Long, I don't know if you know about the Ling Mansion on the old street in the city?" ”

Long Boyan didn't know why Lin Feng suddenly asked this, and he was a little puzzled, but he still recalled it slightly, and then said, "I only know that this Ling Mansion has always been empty before. It's probably been a few years since people lived, but they seem to be very low-key, and I haven't even met them a few times, let alone touched them. ”

"I don't know why Brother Lin Feng is interested in this Ling Mansion? What's wrong? ”

It seems that Long Boyan really doesn't know about the Ling Mansion, Lin Feng wonders that when the Ling family was at its peak, it was more than ten years ago, why did no one in Changmo City know about the Ling Mansion? Could it be that the ancestor of the Ling family has been concealing the connection between the Ling Mansion and the Ling Wangfu? It seems that there must be something wrong with it, so I think it's better not to tell Lomboyan first, so as not to distract him. So he said, "No, I just saw it when I was shopping today, and I thought it was a little special, so I just asked casually." ”

Lomboyan said: "I see, it must be the decline of some big family, causing such a large house to be so dilapidated. ”

Lin Feng said: "Yes, especially now that wars are frequent, how many people have been displaced, families have been destroyed, and they must be among the victims." ”

After three rounds of drinking, Lin Feng took his leave.

The next day, he went to Ling's house early in the morning as promised, but he didn't expect that Steward Gu was already waiting at the door, his face was slightly haggard, and he looked very excited after seeing Lin Feng, "Deputy Commander Lin, you are really here, I'm afraid you won't come!" ”

Lin Feng said: "Since I promised you, I will naturally help investigate, you don't have to worry." ”

Steward Gu said: "It's the old slave who is too worried, but this matter is very important, after so many years, you are the only hope for the Ling family, I am happy and worried, I haven't slept well all night." ”

Lin Feng said: "I will do my best, but don't put all your hopes on me, I am not sure!" ”

"By the way, what about Ling Ning? Why can't you see her? Is she okay? ”

Steward Gu said: "Since Miss learned about her life story yesterday, she has been staying in the room and has not come out, and she has not even eaten, and I am also a little worried about her. ”

Lin Feng knew that Ling Ning definitely needed time to cheer up, after all, she was only ten years old, so he said, "This can only be on her own, you can't help her." ”

Steward Gu also sighed: "Yes, it's just that she is still so young, and she has never suffered any grievances, let alone hardships." Now with such a big blow all of a sudden, Miss must be very uncomfortable, and the old slave is distressed! ”

Lin Feng comforted him, and then said, "Lao Gu, you go down first and get busy, I'll just find it myself." ”

Steward Gu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, and then said, "Okay, the old slave will go and open all the doors first, and then there will be Deputy Commander Lao Lin", and then retreated.

Although it may be more convenient to have a Gu steward by his side, Lin Feng is used to acting alone. Besides, Steward Gu has been looking for him several times, but there is no result, so he can't help much, but he may have preconceived notions, which will cause some misleading, and the gains outweigh the losses.
