"Now the people in the mountains are thinking together, and it only takes a certain amount of time to precipitate before they can build a truly powerful force. I know, Senior Sister, you may be a little worried, but in fact, you don't have to, with Master in control of the overall situation, and the elders and hall masters help each other, everything will fall into place. ”

"Recently, there are often people in the green forest who come to worship the mountain, as far as I know, the Jinsha Gang, Yunfu Village and the Double Tiger Gang have sent people over, it is obvious that the battle not only suppressed the Yan Kingdom, but also made the minds of those fellow Jianghu alive, after all, no one wants to let go of the identity of a landlord to be a dog for the government. Regarding the negotiation with these forces, I have explained to Dong Mian, Qi Lianfu and others that if the senior sister does not want to pay attention to these trivial matters, just let them entertain them. ”

"Regarding the specific details of Lin Tang and Yin Tang, Senior Sister doesn't have to interfere, just ask them to submit a detailed summary every half month. In terms of the construction of the cottage, although Shi Haisheng is a little pedantic and a little sour, it is quite suitable to do this kind of supervision work, and the senior sister only needs to go for a walk from time to time. ”

"On the army's side, the cavalry can be sent out from time to time to create some pressure on the Yan court, but don't have a direct conflict with the other party. The infantry army is half practicing and half working, Yu Dajun and Lou Chengyuan and others have good understanding, and they will definitely be able to take charge of themselves in time. ”

"And ......"

……

In the gentle mountain breeze, Lu Shen chattered, a little disorganized, as if he wanted to say where he was, not as shrewd and wise as he usually was.

Lin Xi walked side by side with him, listening to these heartfelt advices, he couldn't help but smile.

Lu Shen's tone stopped abruptly, and the worry in his heart was slightly reduced, originally he was afraid that Lin Xi would be depressed because of his reluctance to part, but now it seems that she should have been mentally prepared.

"Although I know that you have a good heart, you seem to have forgotten that I am the senior sister."

Lin Xi stretched out his arm, tiptoed slightly, reached out and gently rubbed Lu Shen's head, and said with a smile: "Senior brother is good, senior sister will take care of herself." ”

Lu Shen had a strange feeling in his heart, both a little calm after relaxation, and a little strange reversal.

"Come, I'll take you somewhere."

Lin Xi beckoned to him, and then headed to the northwest, and Lu Shen hurriedly followed.

The two walked through the mountain gate and half of the residential area of the main village, went straight to the mountains and fields north of the main village, and stopped at a sunny hillside.

Lu Shen's expression was slightly condensed, he had already guessed what place this was.

Lin Xi said as he walked: "When I was a child, although my father loved me very much, he was also very strict, and my mother supported my father on the surface, and secretly always took time to help me soothe the meridians and nourish my body. Five years ago, my mother passed away due to illness, and I cried here for a long, long time, and after wiping away my tears, I went out to explore the rivers and lakes. After that, as long as I returned to the cottage, I would come here every once in a while to sit alone for a long time and talk to my mother. ”

Lin Xi walked to the grave at the top of the hillside, put a wild flower under the tombstone, stretched out his hand and gently touched the words engraved on the stele, there was no sadness in his eyes, only a warm background.

Lu Shen stared at the tombstone and knelt down silently to salute.

Lin Xi didn't stop it, and after Lu Shen got up, she stood next to the tombstone and whispered: "Mother, you used to complain about your father, blaming him for forcing me to practice martial arts, but you never learned the work of your daughter's family, worried that I won't be able to find a good family in the future, so I can only choose one of those reckless men in the mountains as my husband." A few times I have had an argument with you, and I stubbornly said that if you don't marry in the future, can't you live alone? Now that I think about it, I was really ignorant at the time. ”

"Mother, his name is Lu Shen, he is Lu Shibo's son, he is twenty years old this year, but he is three days younger than me. My daughter brought him to see you today just to tell her mother that he is the husband chosen by her daughter. He is not a person in the rivers and lakes, his martial arts are not as good as his daughter, and he can't chew words and be a reader, but he knows a lot of truths, especially leading troops to fight. This time he came to the mountains to help his father defeat tens of thousands of officials and soldiers, forcing the government to bow his head and negotiate peace with us. ”

"He is very good to his daughter, to his father, to every father in the mountains, and my daughter believes that he will be able to take us out of the mountains and forests in the future and go to the rich land to live a stable life."

"Mother, please don't worry, my daughter will live well and happily."

"Mother, my daughter misses you very much."

Although her tone trembled slightly at the end, she kept trying to keep the smile on her face.

Lu Shen listened quietly, and after she finished speaking, he bowed to the tombstone and said, "Please rest assured that Lord Taishui's spirit in the sky will take care of her senior sister and will not let her suffer the slightest grievance." ”

Lin Xi raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, walked over and stood beside Lu Shen, and slowly snuggled up to his shoulder.

The autumn breeze is slow, and the figures are in pairs.

When the sun set, the two returned to the main village and came to the courtyard where Lin Xi lived.

Lu Shen looked at the two jars of wine on the table, and said in a chic manner: "I will sacrifice my life to accompany my senior sister tonight, and we will not get drunk and return." ”

Lin Xi couldn't help but smile: "You better take it easy, in case you get drunk, I have to call Li Chengen to carry you back." ”

Lu Shen smiled and glanced inside as if he had not yet done so.

Lin Xi gave him a blank look, but he didn't really mind.

After three rounds of drinking, Lin Xi's cheeks added a touch of pink, his eyes were still clear and peaceful, and he smiled: "Senior brother, my father told me about that incident, and I have already persuaded him, you don't have to take it seriously." ”

Lu Shen put down his chopsticks and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Xi said crisply: "Whether the so-called main palace is or not, I really don't care. Besides, if you are a marquis in the future, you will definitely have to socialize with those high-ranking families, how can I do these things? I grew up in the rivers and lakes since I was a child, and I am used to seeing the impermanence of life and death. If you really want me to keep out of the door, pretending to be a deep lady and embroidering hairpins and birds all day long, I will definitely not be able to adapt to this kind of life. So I told my dad that that identity was not an honor for me, but a confinement. ”

Lu Shen smiled gently, shook his head and said, "Senior sister, this is not a request from the master, but also my own insistence, no matter what happens in the future, no one can shake your position." I will not use this identity to restrain you, you can continue to do what you like, such as now, Master and I will put the power of the Seven Star Army and the gang in your hands. Identity is my respect and love for my senior sister, and it will not become your imprisonment. If it really comes to the day when Ma Fang Nanshan swords and guns are put into storage, I can accompany my sister to travel through the rivers and lakes and indulge in the landscape. ”

Lin Xi's eyes became brighter and brighter.

She could feel the heartfelt thoughtfulness from Lu Shen's words, and that was enough.

As for the matter of taking concubines, she naturally doesn't care, others don't talk about it for the time being, Lin Jie also has a few concubine rooms.

In this era, the infant mortality rate is extremely high, and in order to continue the bloodline, men with a little ability and status will take concubines, not to mention that Lu Shen has a single lineage, and he doesn't even have a brother, so it is foreseeable that Lu Tong will definitely do this kind of thing for this only son.

For some reason, Lin Xi suddenly said, "What about the girl?" ”

Lu Shen was almost choked by the drink, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, where did you start with this?" ”

Lin Xi raised his smooth chin slightly: "Could it be that you forgot, you told me that she showed admiration for you when she was in the capital of Southern Qi." ”

Lu Shen put down the wine cup and explained seriously: "Miss Li's temperament is not good at pretending, so she will say those words, but in my opinion, it is not to show admiration, but to cut off the feelings in her heart by a gentle means. ”

"Slash?" Lin Xi was slightly puzzled.

Lu Shen said: "If she doesn't say it, in fact, no one will know, and I can't think about it in that way, but this kind of thought will inevitably be depressed for a long time when hidden in my heart." She said it bluntly, and pointed out that she didn't want to affect her career in the army because of her children's affection, so she took the initiative to draw a line with me, so as not to guess and end up being unable to extricate herself. ”

"I see."

The two laughed and talked for a while, Lin Xi drank all the wine in the cup, and said softly: "Remember to take care of yourself after you go back, don't patronize and fight hard when you fight, you must know that there are many people who remember you." ”

Lu Shen nodded and said, "Well, I will." ”

Before I knew it, it was already dark outside, and the two jars of wine on the table were gradually bottoming out.

Lu Shen was faintly a little drunk, but he knew in his heart that this farewell would be more than half a year away, so the initial sentence of "sacrificing his life to accompany the gentleman" was not a joke, if Lin Xi wanted to get drunk, he would just get drunk until he was drunk.

However, when he was about to ask the maid to fetch the wine, Lin Xi stopped him: "Let's stop here, get drunk and hurt yourself." ”

Lu Shen rubbed his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then Senior Sister should rest early." ”

He stood up with his hands on the edge of the table before he took two steps, a white palm grabbing his wrist.

turned his head to look, but saw that the beauty was slightly drunk, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

Lu Shen looked at her in a daze, and the room was quiet, as if he could hear each other's heartbeats.

Lin Xi took his hand and said softly: "I have seen everything you have done in the past few months, and the word hard work is not enough to describe your efforts." What I said before, including not caring about the status of the main room, is not that I am contemptuous and self-inferior, and it is not that I am more hypocritical than those deep ladies, but my mother taught me a sentence since I was a child, and I should compare my heart to my heart. ”

"The sons and daughters of my generation, since they are devoted to one person, they will not waver a little. You have been going for thousands of miles, and when you meet again, the world may change, but I hope you understand that your heart is like my heart, and there is no doubt in this life. ”

"Senior Sister ......"

Lu Shen reached out and stroked her cheek.

Lin Xi held his palm, slowly leaned in, and said softly: "Whether it's half a year or a year, I'll wait for you in the mountains, waiting for you to marry me." ”

Lu Shen stared into her eyes and said word for word: "I won't miss the appointment." ”

Lin Xi took the initiative to open his arms and gave him a silent but warm hug.

After a long time, the sound of a maid's cough sounded outside, and the two separated from each other.

Lu Shen smiled a little embarrassedly, naturally understanding that the maid was reminding her out of kindness, and she didn't feel guilty, she just looked at Lin Xi and said, "Senior sister, I'm leaving." ”

"Hmm."

Lin Xi replied softly, and then helped him smooth the folds on his collar as carefully as a wife.

Lu Shen said goodbye and left, his steps slightly vain.

When he left the small courtyard, he turned around to look, but saw that in the dissolving moonlight, Lin Xi smiled lightly, and his eyebrows were picturesque.
