Chapter 10: Twenty Years Ago
"God is not thin on our Lin family! Twenty years, our Lin family finally hopes for a genius, I hope that this heaven can thrive, then our Lin family will be able to survive. Lin Chongtian thought about it, and fell into deep thought, as if his thoughts had returned to twenty years ago......
Twenty years ago, the Lin family was located in a small town in the south of Yanyang Country, one of the three major empires, and was one of the few big families in the town, but it could only barely be regarded as a medium-sized family in the entire Yanyang Country. At that time, Lin Chongtian was in the prime of life, and he was the commander of a small army in the Yanyang Kingdom, and he made great contributions to the birth and death of the empire.
That year, Lin Chongtian was ordered to lead the entire army to follow the army of the Yanyang Kingdom to quell the rebellion, and after nearly two months, all the rebel forces in that kingdom were wiped out, and the only regret was that the king fled with a few personal guards and retinues.
Under the search by chance, Lin Chongtian and his personal guards found the king in a deserted village, and when he found him, he was stripped naked and happy, which made Lin Chongtian really cry and laugh that this king still had such a good interest in the run.
The king was also a wise lord, and seeing that he could not survive, he proposed an exchange condition to Lin Chongtian - to give Lin Chongtian one of the most precious treasures handed down by his family for generations, in exchange for his own surname, and he was indeed reluctant to abandon the car to protect the handsome.
If even your life is gone, what is the use of treasures?
Seeing Lin Chongtian's hesitation, the slippery king immediately took out the treasure, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Your Excellency might as well look at the treasure before making a decision." ”
Looking at it, it is obvious that he is very confident in his family heirloom.
As soon as he took over the treasure, Lin Chongtian knew that this thing was absolutely valuable. It was a glittering treasure box, made of several pieces of almost transparent white jade, and there was a warm current that constantly penetrated into his body in his hand, warming his meridians, which was very comfortable.
As soon as the treasure box appeared, the whole room was shining brightly, as if it were daytime, and the white jade was smooth in color, angular and angular, without any flaws. If you look closely, in its milky white appearance, there are also small particles of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple, which are very bright and shining.
Although Lin Chongtian was an alchemist, he was also slightly involved in other raw materials, and at a glance, he knew that this jade was an extraordinary product, but he couldn't be sure of the exact value.
Lin Chongtian was right, if there was a top jewelry processor here, then she would definitely be crazy about it, because in front of her was such a huge piece of colorful platinum jade! This legendary raw material for jewelry processing is enough to buy a small town even if it is only the size of a fist, and so far, there has never been such a large colorful platinum jade on the mainland!
However, such a huge piece of colorful platinum jade only exists as a treasure box, and the use of it is only the most basic characteristic of colorful platinum jade: hard, beautiful, and never decaying.
Extravagant!
It's too extravagant!
Who is it that has made this crazy treasure box with such a big deal of money and so much wealth?
This man will be famous on the continent, and he will be rich enough to rival the country. However, what is even more curious is, what is stored in this precious treasure box?
Is it the egg of a divine beast? Is it an extremely ancient secret document? Or is it a treasure that can bring the dead back to life? Or is it a legendary divine technique and legendary mental method that has not appeared on the mainland for a long time?
I can't help but think about it, and I can't wait to open it to see what is inside!
At that time, Lin Chongtian was the same, almost subconsciously, he couldn't wait to open the treasure box, but no matter how hard he tried, the treasure box still couldn't be opened.
"My lord, there is no need to bother with effort, this strange treasure has been passed down for hundreds of years, but no ancestor in the widow family has opened it, so no one knows what is hidden inside, but the value of this box alone is enough to make the entire continent crazy, I wonder if your lord agrees to this quid pro quo?" The king was groveling at this time, completely without the slightest domineering.
"Good. Lin Chongtian's eyes flashed and nodded.
He Lin Chongtian is not stupid, how can he not be greedy with such a strange treasure in front of him, he is not the kind of foolish and loyal courtier, he is really loyal to his family, not the current emperor.
I saw him take the treasure box into his arms expressionlessly, and instantly pulled out his saber with his right hand, and suddenly exerted force, and the sword slashed the king's neck like lightning......
"Poof!"
Blood was splattered all over the ground, and the king's eyes widened as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't even pronounce a note......
"Don't blame me, blame the treasure you took out is too precious! If you don't kill it, you will leak today's matter one day!" Lin Chongtian looked at the corpse of this king and said coldly: "This person tried to resist after being captured, and I killed him as a last resort." ”
"Yes, Commander!" replied the two guards behind him scrupulously.
"Cremate his body, and kill all his followers! ”
"Yes, regimental commander!" the two guards immediately turned around and prepared to go out to carry out the order.
One of the guards turned around and asked meaningfully, "Then, what about the king's concubine, commander?"
Turning around, Lin Chongtian smiled meaningfully at the guards: "You can do whatever you want, but at most an hour, before we leave......"
Lin Chongtian wiped his hand on his neck: "You know what to do?"
"Yes, Regiment Commander!" the pro-guard stood up straight and replied solemnly, but then immediately changed to an ambiguous smile: "That, Regiment Commander, do you think you want to open up the wasteland first?"
"Fuck you!" Lin Chongtian scolded with a smile: "Let the brothers hurry up, don't delay the business." ”
"Yes, Captain!"
After Lin Chongtian returned to China, he told the news that the king of the small country was killed for resisting arrest and the emperor of the Yanyang country at that time, the emperor did not have any doubts, but greatly rewarded Lin Chongtian, after all, Lin Chongtian made great contributions to this expedition, in addition to quelling the chaos, but also found the rebellious king and cut him to the roots. For the emperor of the Yanyang Kingdom, he didn't care whether the king of this small country was dead or alive, anyway, if he caught it, he would be executed.
However, Meng Wudao, the head of the Meng family, who has been against the Lin family and has a high position in the Yanyang country, paid attention to this matter, and sent his henchmen to investigate the king of the small country after he returned, and found that the king of this small country actually had a priceless treasure box for three generations, but there was obviously no treasure in the treasure handed over in this time!
He was concerned about this matter, and suspected that Lin Chongtian had swallowed that peerless treasure, but because there was no evidence, he sent people to infiltrate Lin Chongtian's personal corps, and he knew that if Lin Chongtian really embezzled that strange treasure, then his pro-corps must have more or less known a little bit of the inside story.
Sure enough, as he expected, on an occasional occasion, the annihilation he sent drunk Lin Chongtian's personal guards, and took out what he wanted to know from his mouth.
Meng Wudao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, from the description of Jianxi, he understands that the treasure box is absolutely priceless, if he has it, then the family will definitely soar and become one of the most powerful families in the Yanyang Country, and even ......
Even things he couldn't have thought of before are possible!
In the following days, the Meng family began to constantly use their power in the Yanyang Kingdom to suppress the Lin family, and Meng Wudao hinted to Lin Chongtian many times openly and secretly, hoping that he would hand over the treasure, but Lin Chongtian was not a fool and did not sell the Meng family's account at all.
In the case that both soft and hard could not help Lin Chongtian, Meng Wudao simply made it clear to Lin Chongtian: "Either hand over the treasure box, marry the two families, and work together to create the most powerful family in the Yanyang Country, or the Meng family will use all their strength to exterminate the Lin family, and there will be no place for them to stand in the Yanyang Country!"
Lin Chongtian still refused without hesitation, he knew that once he married the Meng family, then the Lin family would either be annexed or pushed out to death after being squeezed out of all the use value.
He doesn't know Meng Wudao too well, he is deceitful, capricious, and a villain.
This kind of person, how can he be atmospheric!
With this tearing of his face, Meng Wudao no longer showed mercy, and drove out the Lin family in all aspects, in order to make it disappear from the Yanyang Country. At that time, the strength of the Lin family was far inferior to that of the Meng family, in order to preserve the family, Lin Chongtian deployed all the retreats, and quietly left the Yanyang Country with the whole clan, and lived in seclusion in the countryside from then on.
