Chapter 689: Heart

When he was escorted to the capital, Xu Lin probably figured out what was going on.

The strategy he wrote during the examination was even praised by the emperor, but a group of Confucian scholars jumped out and accused him of violating the national program and even contrary to the words of the sage!

This is not a trivial matter, although it is not an attempt to rebel, but one that violates the national program is enough to kill people.

Not to mention that Xu Lin is just a new champion, even if he is the first assistant of the dynasty, he can't carry such a big black cauldron!

Xu Lin was surprised in his heart.

But what happened unexpectedly was not the crime that fell on his head.

A policy theory, so much content, as long as someone wants to interpret it, it is possible to interpret any kind of content.

Those Yanguan and Confucian scholars did not have such great energy themselves, and Xu Lin did not preach any new doctrines, and the other party would not do anything to him.

This can only be pushed by someone secretly, and the person behind the scenes must have strong enough energy.

It doesn't even take a thought to it.

Xu Lin has never offended anyone in his life, if he really wants to offend, it is the Gao Shoufu, and besides, Gao Shoufu wants to target him, there are many ways, this is just one of them.

What really made Xu Lin puzzled was that he was not enough to pose any threat to the other party, and although he did not make a choice according to the other party's wishes, it was not a big deal to tear his face.

Why do you have to ...... What about putting yourself to death?

After seven days in prison, someone came to visit Xu Lin the night before the arraignment.

It's the daughter of the Gao family.

Miss Gao changed her previous gentleness, her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and even her eyes when she looked at Xu Lin were full of murderous aura.

When Xu Lin saw that Miss Gao was still followed by the same subject leader, he was completely enlightened.

Because of his refusal, Gao Shoufu retreated to the second, and even chose to be on the list again.

And the other party obviously did not withstand the temptation of Gao Shoufu, in fact, most people would not refuse this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, not to mention, Gao Shoufu's daughter is also a national beauty.

If that's the case......

That very existence is indeed an obstacle.

Thinking of this, Xu Lin suddenly brightened.

"Xu Lin, you didn't think that there would be today, right?" Miss Gao stood outside the cell door, staring at Xu Lin, her eyes full of resentment.

And Bangyan's expression was a little unnatural at this time.

His relationship with Xu Lin was not bad before, but he didn't expect to see each other again in such a scene.

What's even more embarrassing is that he knows very well in his heart that in fact, Gao Shoufu and his fiancée, the people who really favor Xu Lin.

I'm just an alternative.

It doesn't seem like a big deal, though.

Who cares about these details......

Moreover, he did not understand either.

Such a good thing, put it in front of Xu Lin, the other party even chose to refuse.

What kind of mental journey is this?

At this moment, Miss Gao said again: "Xu Lin, do you regret it now?" ”

Bangyan's face turned green on the side.

Originally, he thought that his fiancée came to see Xu Lin just to say a few cruel words and ridicule the other party.

But now that I listen to it, how do I feel resentful and want to give Xu Lin another chance?

It seems that as long as Xu Lin says he regrets it for this second, the two of them will be able to live and fly together?

This moment.

He panicked.

Xu Lin looked at Miss Gao in front of him and smiled.

"Thank you Miss Gao for your love, it's just that Xu is not blessed to be ......"

"Bastard!" Miss Gao was immediately furious, "Love? Why do you think I love you? Just because you're talented? Just because you're good-looking? Just because you're eight buckets? Just because you're outstanding? Just because you ......"

"Okay, don't talk about it......" The eyes on the side were completely uncontrollable.

Can you treat me as a person! I know he's better than me, can't I?

Miss Gao stared at him for a while with red eyes, and finally stomped her foot and turned to leave.

Bangyan hurriedly caught up, walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped, he glanced at Xu Lin and sighed.

"Xu Zhuangyuan, what are you...... Why bother. ”

Xu Lin looked at him, just smiled, and didn't speak.

"I know, you must hate me, but ......"

Xu Lin shook his head.

"You're too worried, I don't like you."

"Huh?" Bangyan looked at him with some surprise.

"Even if there is no you, there will still be Tanhua, and without Tanhua, there will be a legend ......" Xu Lin saw it very thoroughly.

When Bangyan heard this, he was relieved.

"It's good that you can understand this, Xu Zhuangyuan, maybe I'm involved, but I can't do anything, but don't worry, I will protect your family, and Gao Shoufu doesn't plan to target your family."

Hearing this, Xu Lin glanced at him gratefully.

"Thank you."

Bangyan shook his head, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

For Xu Lin's talent, he actually has some admiration.

In particular, Xu Lin's essays hit the nail on the head to point out Jingguo's current problems and put them forward very restrainedly???????????????? The solution to the problem does not touch the interests of the civilian clique, but also ensures that the method can be promoted.

It's just that Xu Lin is still young after all.

……

In the end, Xu Lin's verdict came down.

Because there are people in the government and the opposition who plead, the final result is to lose their fame and exile for 3,000 miles, that is, the northern frontier of Jingguo, the real place of suffering.

Although this is equivalent to Xu Lin's life, it is indeed good news for him.

As long as his family is not implicated, he will admit it.

If you really want to say regret, it's actually a little bit.

If he had known that this Gao Shoufu had such a small belly, perhaps, he should have chosen a more peaceful way, of course, even if he could really go back to the past, he would not change his choice.

In fact, even Xu Lin felt that he was a little irrational.

This is what he thinks in his heart, and it is also what he wishes in his heart.

Until, he saw his father, and Wang Zhixia.

Xu Laosan looked a little older, obviously less than forty, but his hair was already half white.

When Xu Lin saw his family, the softness in his heart was finally touched.

He saw that Xu Laosan and Wang Zhixia still had dust on their knees, and he didn't know how long they had been kneeling before they had the opportunity to see him.

The face is dusty, and the temples are like frost.

Wang Zhixia was even more tearful and speechless.

It took a long time for her to stomp her feet and question.

"Why are you so stupid? Why don't you know how to be flexible? You've divorced me! Why are you so ......?"

Xu Lin looked at her with a smile on his face.

He didn't expect Wang Zhixia to know the inside story so quickly.

This change of events did come too quickly.

Xu Laosan and Wang Zhixia were still immersed in the joy of Xu Lin's high school before, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Lin became a prisoner and had to embark on a dead end.

Xu Lin stretched out his hand and grabbed Wang Zhixia's, and the two were separated by the prison door and looked at each other.

"It's okay." He whispered.

He wanted to tell Wang Zhixia.

The brocade dress given by Miss Gao is too awkward to wear, and it can't compare to Wang Zhixia's stitch and thread sewing.

……

It's winter again.

Xu Lin raised his head and looked up at the gray sky.

Snowflakes are falling.

Xu Lin has always disliked winter and snow.

He often wondered if it weren't for the cold that winter.

Perhaps, his mother won't leave so suddenly, right? The soldier behind him stretched out his hand and pushed hard.

"Let's go! Grinding and chirping ......"

Xu Lin turned his head and glanced at him, but didn't speak, just coughed.

Along the way, he felt like he had reached the point where the lamp had run out.

If he hadn't been a child, he would have followed Xu Laosan to climb the mountain to collect medicine and exercise, maybe he would have been unable to hold it a long time ago.

Since ancient times.

Of the prisoners who were exiled for 3,000 miles, few made it to the place alive.

What's more, it's getting colder and colder as it goes.

He was still wearing the thin prison clothes, and his body had begun to slowly lose consciousness.

And the two soldiers in charge of escorting behind him looked at him with indifferent eyes.

They also knew that Xu Lin couldn't last long.

In fact, they wish Xu Lin had fallen early, and then, they could also end this boring errand, go home, and leave this place where birds don't.

Finally.

Night.

Xu Lin was thrown into the stable.

The days of chaos and nightmare have finally passed slowly.

Xu Lin could feel that his vitality, like the heat energy in his body, was passing quickly.

But his brain is extremely cold.

In his mind, many confused memories appeared, as if it was him, and as if he was a complete stranger.

Finally.

He slowly closed his eyes, and when the two soldiers came to see him again, Xu Lin had become a cold corpse.

The two soldiers didn't feel much sadness, but looked at each other and smiled.

Task.

It's finally done.

……

By the time Gu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, he had already arrived in the completely closed room.

There was no one around.

He found a place, sat down slowly, and collected his thoughts.

"My name is Gu Yuan, I'm not Xu Lin, it's just the Three Habitats created for me...... Illusion. ”

He kept talking to himself, and kept thinking about it.

It's as if as soon as he stops, he forgets who is who.

After all, in that world, Gu Yuan stayed for too long.

Now, in his mind, there are memories of two people.

One is Gu Yuan and the other is Xu Lin.

In a trance, he had no idea who he really was.

Nan Ke is a dream.

It's just that this dream is too long and too long.

He clearly remembers everything that happened in Jingguo, everyone he met, and every day he spent.

Everything is so real.

After a long while, Gu Yuan slowly came back to his senses.

He remembered what Shen Shuyang had said to him when he was undergoing the second test.

"Stone Stele".

Go with your heart.

Born to die.

At first, Gu Yuan still didn't understand the meaning of these words, but now, back to this "transit station", he somewhat understood.

Obviously, I have passed the second test.

Although he died on the way to exile.

But he always adhered to his heart, and when faced with the choice, he did not give up the belief that he thought was right, which was probably the prompt of the stone tablet, and he moved with his heart, so in the end, even if he died in the ice and snow, he also applied for "life to die".

At first, Gu Yuan felt that such a test was a bit inexplicable, but when he thought about it seriously, he found that there was a key condition in it.

When he was Xu Lin, all memories of Gu Yuan would be erased, and at that time, he could really only rely on his "heart" to make choices.

"Dogs. Mother's raised Gao Shoufu, sooner or later, he will kill you with a knife......" The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
