On one side, there is the sect that has established itself. On the one hand, there is the stability and prosperity that I have been looking forward to for a long time.

Which of these two sides is more important is indeed a big gamble for Ouyang Kong.

Lin Zhan pondered for a while, and then said, "It's better to be like this, for the sake of the kindness of the Frozen Temple to save me this time, how about I make a bet with you." ”

"Bet on what?" Ouyang Kong asked suspiciously.

"That's what I just said. I don't need the help of the Frozen Temple, within five years I will establish a force beyond the Valley of Hundred Flowers. How?"

Ouyang Kong's eyes suddenly sharpened, he knew that this was Lin Zhan's last concession, and it was also Lin Zhan's war letter to himself.

"What if you do?"

"I'm looking for revenge in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, and the Frozen Temple is not allowed to stop me. ”

"And what if you can't?"

Lin Zhan said with a smile: "I will help you eradicate the careerists in the Five Holy Lands. Keep your five holy places as solid as a rock within 10,000 years. ”

Ouyang Kong's eyes widened, and a sharp light instantly enveloped the entire cave.

"Good. ”

Lin Zhan walked briskly on the road, and there was one thing he needed to do urgently, and that was to leave the Frozen Temple and return to the Celestial Star Empire and return to the Lin family.

Just now, Lin Zhan and Ouyang Kong made a bet that might affect the future situation of the Kaiyuan Continent. At the same time, Lin Zhan also knew some things from Ouyang Kong's mouth that he didn't know yet, and some things that happened during the time he was in a coma.

The news that the Lin family was attacked and Lin Zhan was seriously injured could not be blocked at all. Within a few days, this matter was spreading inside and outside the Heavenly Star Emperor.

Under the impetus of some well-intentioned people, the whole thing became more and more deviant from the facts, and finally became: the Lin family offended the Holy Land, suffered bloody revenge from the Holy Land, the Lin Mansion was destroyed, everyone in the Lin family was either killed or injured, and the masters of the Heavenly Star Empire were killed and injured countless times.

This rumor has many flaws no matter which way it is scrutinized. Unfortunately, it is sometimes easier for people to believe such rumors full of loopholes.

For a time, Tianxing's domestic turmoil was in turmoil, rumors spread in both the court and the opposition Tianxing Empire, the people's hearts were unstable, and various rebellious forces continued to emerge like mushrooms after a rain.

Since the last war, the Lin family, as the protector of the Celestial Star Empire, has been worshipped as gods by the people of the Celestial Star Empire for more than twenty years. Now the news of the attack on the Lin family is spreading everywhere, causing more turmoil in the Celestial Star Empire than many people imagined.

Whether it is a friend of the Lin family, an enemy of the Lin family, or an irrelevant stranger, at this moment, they have to admit the importance of the Lin family to the Celestial Star Empire at this moment.

The matter was far from over, taking advantage of the turbulent internal situation in the Celestial Star Empire, the five empires of Shenlong, Yantang, Holy Light, Barbarian, and Amegia formed an alliance and announced a crusade against the Celestial Star Empire.

After a lapse of 20 years, the trend of the Five Kingdoms to conquer the sky has taken shape again.

His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered the whole country of the Celestial Star Empire to prepare for war, and all the major legions entered the state of forest warfare, and all the affairs of the empire were centered on preparing for war. The Imperial Reserve Force was mobilized to be on standby at any time, and the command of all armies in the country was handed over, and the military aircraft department where Situ Wei was in charge was under unified command.

In this case, Lin Tianxiao, who was an important minister of the Celestial Star and one of the three giants of the military, naturally had to rush back to the overall situation of the stability of the Celestial Star Empire.

As for Lin Kecheng, he couldn't rest assured that Lin Zhan stayed.

Now that everything was clear, it no longer made sense for Lin Zhan to stay in the Frozen Temple. At the very least, Lin Zhan felt that there was no need to stay.

"Did you really decide to leave right away?"

Lin Kecheng looked at Lin Zhan standing in front of him, although he knew that Lin Zhan would never change his decision, Lin Kecheng couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I can't do anything while staying in the Frozen Temple, and the current situation in the empire is a great opportunity. ”

Lin Kecheng's face was complicated, and with this solemn and helpless expression, even Lin Zhan couldn't guess what Lin Kecheng was thinking now.

Lin Kecheng turned his back to Lin Zhan and looked at the inner room, and only said slowly after half a sound: "Ah Xue is resting inside now, just now she cried for a long time, and no matter who persuaded her, it didn't work at all." ”

"In the past, every time I came, she asked about the status of the two brothers. And every time, she would cry sadly. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Kecheng suddenly turned to look at Lin Zhan: "Ah Xue, she misses you very much, she misses you very much." ”

A Xue in Lin Kecheng's mouth is Ouyang Xue, the mother of Lin Zhan and Lin Feng's brothers.

At least the mother of Lin Zhan's body.

Lin Zhan silently added this sentence in his heart.

But Lin Zhan didn't know how to respond to this Lin Kecheng, although Lin Kecheng didn't ask Lin Zhan to respond, he just talked there on his own.

All Lin Zhan could do now was not to interrupt this story.

"Ah Xue, she left the Lin family sixteen years ago. At that time, she had no way to resist. And I, as his husband, have no power to change everything. All I can do is promise Ah Xue and promise him to take good care of you two brothers. Feng'er was five years old at the time, and you were less than a year old and still in your infancy. I still remember when Xue left. She doesn't even have me in her eyes, it's just the wind and you. ”

Lin Zhan's eyes shrunk, and some images flashed in his mind. In these pictures, a beautiful woman, surrounded by a group of people who Lin Zhan felt very powerful, looked at herself expressionless in swaddling clothes and Lin Feng who was ignorant next to her from a distance, crying.

The cry was hysterical and painful. It was the miserable cry that Lin Zhan had heard, and it was also the cry that made Lin Zhan react and feel the things in the human world for the first time.

After such a long time, Lin Zhan couldn't tell what that feeling was, he only remembered that his eyes seemed to be fascinated by the sand, and he actually had a feeling of wanting to cry. And this heart also felt the pain it had not felt for a long time in that time.

"Sixteen years of separation, I can't imagine what kind of pain Ah Xue has undertaken. The only thing I can remember is Ah Xue's eagerness every time she sees me and asks about the two of you. Hear the joy of growing up healthy and healthy both of you. All that remains is endless thoughts and tears for you. Sixteen years have passed since then. ”

Lin Kecheng raised his head for the first time and looked directly at Lin Zhan. What shocked Lin Zhan was the reddened eyes of this iron-blooded tough guy who had been galloping on the battlefield for decades and the wetness in his tiger eyes at this time.

It turns out that Lin Kecheng will cry too. A soldier who can shed tears, what a ...... Shame on you.

Lin Zhan thought so in his heart. He felt that he should laugh at Lin Kecheng at this moment, saying that he had lost a man's face. But Lin Zhan was surprised that he couldn't laugh at all at this moment.

Why is that?

Just when Lin Zhan was puzzled, a roar slammed into his chest.

"Lin Zhan, she's your mother!"

Lin Kecheng should have used all his strength to come up with this sentence. Lin Zhan had never thought that Lin Kecheng would speak to him in such a loud voice. Caught off guard, even his ears were a little numb.

Picking out his ears, which were still a little buzzing, Lin Zhan realized what Lin Kecheng had just said to him.

The Lin Kecheng in front of him is a little different from the Lin Kecheng he knew before. Perhaps it can be said that Lin Zhan has never seen Lin Kecheng who is so sad and angry, and has tears in his eyes.

Lin Kecheng looks angry now, this anger seems to be directed at himself.

Lin Zhan thought about what Lin Kecheng yelled at him again, and his brain cleared up a little: "Mother, yes, I know that Ouyang Xue is my mother, and I have never denied that Ouyang Xue is not my mother." So what are you angry about here. ”

"But you've never thought of her as a mother, have you? Or in your mind, the so-called mother itself doesn't mean anything, right?"
