I don't know how long it took, a weak figure suddenly appeared in front of him, Tuoba Hongxuan looked back, and saw Lingchen also sitting beside him, his face was pale, his head was bowed and he was speechless, but his shoulders were still trembling slightly. Tuoba Hongxuan's heart couldn't help trembling at this moment, stretched out his right hand, hugged Lingchen's shoulder tightly, and said softly: "Chen, if you want to cry, cry, this has a shoulder for you to lean on."

Hearing this, Lingchen struggled in his heart, slowly raised his head, looked at Tuoba Hongxuan with a pair of eyes that were already red and swollen, and sobbed: "Big brother, thank you for doing so much for Lingchen, I, I know ....... know...... I'll be strong, don't worry".

Hearing this, Tuoba Hongxuan smiled gently, gently brushed away the hair that stuck to her face due to tears with his hand, and said in a voice that would make people feel excited when he heard it: "Dust, everything has me, okay?" ”

"Hmm," Lingchen replied, leaning his head sideways on his right shoulder, and the two of them looked at the sky quietly, letting their hearts be quiet and comforted by each other's proximity.

Lingchen is a strong woman, although in the first few days, she was really sad for a long time because she knew her background and the grievances of her parents, but slowly, she was also relieved to find her father, and her heart was slowly relieved. Looking at Lingchen who smiled more and more every day, Situ Zhiming and Tuoba Hongxuan couldn't help but let go of the tense emotions they had been nervous, although Situ Zhiming was still trying to test Tuoba Hongxuan sideways, trying to find out his intentions, but every time they were skillfully resolved by Lingchen, at the same time, the two of them got Lingchen a heartfelt smile, which made Situ Zhiming have to shake his head and sigh, always complaining in his heart that girls are outgoing, and the days have passed like this for several days.

On this day, when Lingchen was feeding Situ Zhiming in the house, Tuoba Hongxuan came in hurriedly and said, "Chen, pack up our things, we have to leave here tomorrow."

Hearing this, Lingchen said, "Okay, big brother, I know."

And Situ Zhiming asked, "Why is it so urgent?" ”。

Tuoba Hongxuan didn't hide too much from the father and daughter, he smiled slightly, and said: "I have obtained most of the huge money from Master Li and Jia Renshan, and I want to escort the salt goods to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and we can leave here smoothly with this goods."

Hearing this, Situ Zhiming looked at Tuoba Hongxuan with a little contempt in his eyes, and said, "The money of these two thieves is the result of corruption for many years, boy, do you dare to take it?" ”。

Hearing this, Tuoba Hongxuan said calmly: "Money is something outside the body, but it can help the poor and the weak." In the past few years, Jia and Li, the two jackals, dare to be greedy, I dare to take it, and give it to the poor, isn't it? ”。

Situ Zhiming smiled, and then said: "Boy, do you want to rob the rich and help the poor? So, just take the money and leave, why do you really want to take these salt goods with you? ”。

Hearing this, Tuoba Hongxuan knew that if he didn't say it clearly, he really couldn't satisfy the curiosity of this ghostly hero, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take him away with peace of mind, so he sat down and picked up a cup of tea, slowly brought it to his mouth, and after taking a sip, he continued: "Because several towns on the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty are indeed in the salt shortage, this batch of salt was sent directly, anyway, the money, Jia and Li have already given it?" ”。

These words made Situ Zhiming even more puzzled, and said: "Why don't I understand how you want to rob the rich and help the poor? And with such a large amount, the imperial court does not allow officials to sell salt goods privately", such a question also existed in Lingchen's heart, she was just used to asking Tuoba Hongxuan too many things, unless he was willing to tell it.

Tuoba Hongxuan looked at Situ Zhiming and said with a smile: "It's very simple, the money has been paid to the salt merchants, and the salt goods bought will be disguised as sand and gravel and transported to the Northern Wei Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Lingchen couldn't help but ask: "Jia and Li must be trying to smuggle and sell illicit salt by taking advantage of the salt famine, and make a lot of money, if this happens, won't the eldest brother let them lose all their money, then how will they deal with the revenge of these two?" ”。

Tuoba Hongxuan smiled lightly, looking at Lingchen's eyes full of worry, and his mood was indescribably joyful, he stood up with a smile, walked in front of Lingchen, and said softly: "Chen, don't worry, they have no way and time to retaliate against me, because, this batch of 'sand and stones' will be found to be illegal salt by the imperial court and the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the salt will also be distributed by the officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty as confiscated smuggled goods. Besides, they have all issued certificates of sand and gravel transactions, and the letters and vouchers are in my possession, how can they explain that they are not selling illicit salt? ”。

Tuoba Hongxuan's words made Lingchen and Situ Zhiming stunned for a while, and then, Situ Zhiming looked at Tuoba Hongxuan with a strange expression, and said with a smile: "In this way, Jia and Li are afraid that the two jackals will not escape the death penalty of the imperial court, hehe, stinky boy, this trick is really ruthless, everything has been counted by you, why didn't you find out that you have so many hearts and eyes before...... Lingchen, stay away from him, this person is a dangerous lord", he said and kept motioning for Lingchen to stand beside him.

At this time, Lingchen, whose eyes already contained a thin layer of mist, looked at Tuoba Hongxuan, and said softly: "Big brother, thank you for avenging the Situ family." Lingchen knew in his heart that Tuoba Hongxuan had done so much because of himself, otherwise, there would be no need for him to use so much power to offend so many people, just to relieve the victims in the salt shortage, because he could have bought salt himself to distribute it. Thinking of this, Lingchen's heart was both happy and sad, sad for the Situ family, and happy for Tuoba Hongxuan to have himself in his heart, which made Lingchen's tears flow down involuntarily.

Seeing that this person with a pear flower with rain was about to kneel down in front of him, Tuoba Hongxuan hurriedly grabbed Lingchen's hand and said, "Chen, what are you doing?" ”。

Lingchen, who was excited in his heart, was speechless for a while, and Situ Zhiming, who was sitting on the bed on the side, sighed deeply and said: "This is as it should be, the deep hatred of the Situ family cannot be avenged in my hands, but I am already a wasted person, I can only let Lingchen kowtow to you on my behalf and the entire Situ family" After speaking, Situ Zhiming couldn't help but cry, and sadness came from it.

Tuoba Hongxuan held up Lingchen, who was still in tears, looked at Situ Zhiming, and comforted: "Senior, why do you say this, the officials who are greedy for ink in the world are all the people who bring disaster to the country and the people, but anyone with a conscience will hate such officials, I just did what I wanted to do, and the other ......", and then, Tuoba Hongxuan leaned over and said: "I have to accuse you and Lingchen, Master Li, some of those money and goods must be from your Situ family, but I handled it privately without explaining it to you, I hope that my predecessors and Chen'er can forgive me for the crime of being the master without permission," said Tuoba Hongxuan, who bowed to the father and daughter with his fists folded, but was stopped by Lingchen.

Situ Zhiming also said anxiously at this time: "Stinky boy, what kind of courtesy, didn't you say that money is something outside the body?" Lao Tzu is used to it now, handle it well, and save me from bothering Lao Tzu! ”。

Hearing this, Lingchen also pulled Tuoba Hongxuan, and said with a tearful smile: "Big brother, money and things are like dung to Lingchen and Dad, if you can do something for the poor, this is the most important thing, big brother doesn't have to blame himself." Hearing this, Tuoba Hongxuan smiled stupidly, looked at Lingchen and said, "Thank you, Lingchen", looking at such a stupid Tuoba Hongxuan, Lingchen couldn't help blushing and lowered his head shyly.

Looking at this pair of beautiful people, one is stupid and the other is shy, Situ Zhiming's mood suddenly improved, and he can really accept Tuoba Hongxuan from now on, although he has always been very curious about the many secrets of this child, but his heart for Lingchen, Situ Zhiming has seen it very clearly, but even so, he suddenly shouted angrily: "I said, aren't you leaving tomorrow?" Stinky boy, what to see, don't look at my Lingchen, fast, fast, fast, collect things that should be collected, cook things that should be cooked", shouted like this, Lingchen ran to the kitchen with a red face, and Tuoba Hongxuan also went to collect things with an embarrassed face, and for a while, only Situ Zhiming was left in the house sitting on the bed and smiling.
