Chapter 5 -- Departure South

"The tiger father has no dogs, the lady teaches well, Princess Lin has an outstanding demeanor, although she is a jade leaf and a golden branch, she does not lose a good man." Mao will never pretend to flatter others, at this time it is the heart of the real cherishing talent, said, "If you are fortunate to be with the princess, it is really a great blessing in the old life." ”

"Okay, the general is refreshing. I will immediately send someone to arrange for the general to enter the palace. Mrs. Lin said in her heart, this is true, if this person in my family is able to jump up and down, he will not lose to any boy of the same age.

Lin bowed his hand and said, "The apprentice has seen the master." The parents who gave birth to me, and the teachers who taught me. Ye Er will definitely be strict with himself, and from now on, the road of martial arts will no longer be a source of water and a tree without roots. After speaking, he knelt down on his knees and bowed three times.

Mao hurriedly turned sideways, and after finishing the salute, he helped her up with both hands, "The princess has broken her old body." The princess has a special identity, we only have the status of master and apprentice, and this kind of kneeling and saluting is absolutely impossible. ”

Lin was steadily helped up by a pair of powerful big hands, and after getting up, he said to Mao with a smile, "Master, how was my punch just now?" Please ask the master for some advice. ”

Since then, Lin He has been regarded as an enlightenment master who has practiced martial arts.

When Lin was 7 years old, the saint fell ill and died. Suddenly set off an uproar in the court, the queen and the strategists manipulated the illusion, set up the third son as the new emperor, and the prince and his party were in danger. The new emperor quickly gathered military power and ruled the lands of Hebei, Qing, You, and the four states. The former crown prince was deeply dissatisfied and wanted to compete with the new emperor. For a time, the two were equal in power, each building a party and fighting with each other. Smoke rises everywhere. As soon as Lord Lin became loyal to the first emperor, he was tired and did not want to participate in the struggle between the two, so he used the excuse to return to the military power, and since then the Lin family has moved out of the Marshal's Mansion.

Lord Lin and his advisers spread a message to the outside world, saying that Princess Lin was destined to be evil, and if the princess was sealed, she would sit for Ziwei and move her life to the Tiansha Lone Star. Regarded as a great evil.

According to rumors, Princess Lin has been living in the Marshal Mansion all these years, and almost no one has seen her true face, and Princess Lin has never participated in the gathering of the nobles over the years. This is all because the first emperor Shengming, although he gave the princess the title, he ordered her not to appear in the place where the nobles of the palace gathered, which preserved the lifeblood of the royal wealth. How Lin is lazy has stolen to a new level, the laziness of the royal gift, the gospel of social phobia.

This rumor spread ten, ten to hundred, and the propagators in it include the opponents of the Lin Mansion, the royal brothers who are eager to seize their military power, and the folk gossip masses who have good deeds, so that in the end, the rumors spread more and more, and those who believe in it are nine times out of ten. The saint complied with the will of the people, and Princess Lin's title was recaptured, leaving only faith and land. The trembling Lin Mansion finally retreated safely, and God's two boots fell to the ground temporarily.

The family who moved out of the Marshal's Mansion carefully chose the southwest as a place to settle. First, Lord Lin should avoid the former place of government, so as not to be suspected of entangled with the remnants of the old ministry. Second, in order to avoid the new emperor being wiped out, the Lin Mansion had to choose a place where he could advance and retreat.

The three caves of the cunning rabbit, Lord Lin seems to have no connection with southern Xinjiang, but before entering the court, Lin Qing had practiced martial arts for many years and studied under a master named Yu Ji. There are very few people who know about this martial arts experience. Yu Ji only had two apprentices earlier, one was Lin Qing, and the other was Mao's deceased husband, Mao Jin. This past is not mentioned for the time being.

In order to hide people's eyes, Lord Lin and Yu Ji rarely corresponded. Yu Ji is not a person obsessed with fame and fortune, and it can be said that there are no people in the rivers and lakes who know him. Yu Ji's favorite thing in his life is to travel around, and in the early years he traveled to the land of southern Xinjiang, and was stationed here by chance. This time, Lord Lin took the family to return to the helpless Southern Barbarian Wasteland, but he had already contacted him in private and was fully prepared.

In addition to reporting to the Holy Lord, Lord Lin declined the kindness of his former colleagues and insisted on not making his schedule public. In the early morning of this day, there was still silence in the capital, and only the clear sound of beating was heard. When the fourth watch was ugly, the weather was cold and frozen, Lin Qing's family drove lightly, and left the capital in the dark when the city gate was opened. Why did you go in such a hurry? Please think about Lord Lin as a fugitive or a degraded official, what is the crime of making debasement? Huaibi is guilty!

The journey was tiring, but fortunately they were all people who practiced martial arts, with rough skin and thick meat, forbidden to pull and drag, forbidden to kick and forbidden to kick. Men and women, young and old, as well as southern Xinjiang, did not show the slightest tiredness, and even more, they actually felt that the long journey was still unfinished. This is even how Lin is. Along the way, Lin He ate delicious snacks along the way, walked around the lakes and mountains, and saw all the customs and customs. How Lin has to admire Shigong Yuji, he will really enjoy it! A generation of masters is not called in vain, and even eating, drinking and having fun are more enjoyable than others.

On this day, Lin He was pestering Mrs. Lin to let her eat a bowl of cold sour ice powder, when he saw the carriage stop, and the coachman walked under the curtain and said, "Madam, Miss, you have arrived at the place." Please move. ”

"Mother, give me another bowl, I'll get out of the car obediently after eating a bowl." How Lin stretched out a finger and bargained like a child.

"If you don't get out of the carriage, forget it, my mother has enough of this carriage, you can sleep on the carriage by yourself tonight." Saying that, Mrs. Lin didn't wait for a reply, and lifted the curtain to get out of the car. Seeing that there was no chance for Lin to take advantage of, Lin had no choice but to pout and reluctantly follow Mrs. Lin out of the car.

By the time everyone settled down, it was already evening, and the lights in the courtyard had been lit one after another. Lin called the maid Suzuran to the door of Mao's room, knocked lightly and asked, "Is the master there?" The apprentice came to see what the master needed, and I wrote them down and gave them to my mother to find someone to buy. After a while, seeing that no one answered, Lin said in his heart, where did the master go?" Lily of the valley, the master is not here, let's go to my father and mother to have a look. ”

The small courtyard of the Lin family here is not big, and when Lin He entered the courtyard, he looked up and saw that the door of the old street was inlaid with copper rings, but the small courtyard was different.

The sunny silk blows to the idle courtyard, swaying the spring like a line. Stop for a long time, the whole flower is really exquisite. Lin found all the way that even though the southwest was humid and stuffy, there was not a single moss on the high courtyard wall. The black roof of the beast rolling ball is not famous during the day, but Lin He can see at a glance that the angle of this roof ridge is different from that of ordinary houses, the slope is larger, and it is covered with mottled moss. Since the moss on the high wall can be removed, it means that this yard is not unattended, but why is the moss on the roof left? I'm afraid this question makes the spies who listen to the corner at night hate itchy.

How did Lin stretch out a pair of little hands as white as lotus roots, and gently pushed open the door of the courtyard where his father and mother lived, only to see four people standing in the courtyard, facing her sideways was her mother and Mao, and with her back to her, one was her father, and the other was who?

"The daughter has seen her father and mother, and the apprentice has seen the master." As Lin spoke out, the four of them turned their heads one after another, this turn was terrible, Lin opened his mouth in surprise, and was immediately stunned, but he couldn't say a word.
