Chapter 25 It is impossible to ask for a light exemption

> unban chapter <

Lin Jianlan was dumbfounded, but it was only a few days, the old man's attitude changed so quickly, and the words he said were completely different, and he suddenly felt a pain in his cheeks, it turned out that the reeds next to him were scraped, and they had entered the depths of Taihu Lake, Lin Jianlan knew their routine, so he stood up and straightened his clothes, it was still a long and three short whistles, and it didn't take long to see a small boat coming, and the boat was Yuan Xingjian's henchman whom Lin Jianlan met that day, and he was also stunned when he saw Lin Jianlan, and helped Lin Jianlan over without saying a word.

Lin Jianlan wanted to say goodbye to the old man, but he didn't know what to say, Xie Zhongju in order to save the hearts of the people for the imperial court, he would bow down in person, even if it was a small matter such as distributing silver taels, he had to do it himself, and the returning civilians naturally had respect and love for her, and they were grateful to Dade, or their feelings for her were probably already more than grateful to the imperial court, so when she died, things were getting worse and worse.

Re-entering the Taihu Lake Volunteer Army Water Village, and the appearance of the previous days is very different, the flags have all been replaced with plain colors, there are white plain flags floating everywhere, and the people are no longer so few, according to the previous few days, there are soldiers tied with filial piety belts everywhere, or the face is sad, or the expression is sad and angry, and the soldiers patrolling and walking around the tower of the walled gate are all in order.

Looking up, a huge flag was newly erected at the gate of the village, with the four big characters of "Walking for Heaven" written highly, and with the sound of hunting in the lake breeze, I remembered that Xie Zhongju had hinted at that day: "Heaven has its own heaven, and ordinary people cannot replace it." And Yuan Xingjian also said to himself very sincerely, he never thought of the word "replace", and the people of Taihu Lake and the people who came from afar have been together for many years, and the thoughts in their hearts, I am afraid that Yuan Xingjian knows best, so after finding out Xie Zhongju's sincerity, he tried his best to help the refugees return to their hometowns, and he did not hesitate to offend his fellow martial artists.

But now all the scenery has changed, Lin Jianlan stood silently for a long time, and Yuan Xingjian's henchman said: "Lin Gongzi, can you go up?"

Lin Jianlan came back to his senses and said, "Who is in the rebel army?"

The man said: "Don't hide the son, most of them are still there, that night I wanted to be happy and disperse, so all the heroes are happy to drink, stay in the army, when the day is just dawn, but I saw Yuan Xianggong come back with red eyes, it is estimated that at that time, Lord Xie must have had an accident, all the green forest brothers saw him all night, and when they came back at this moment, they wanted to say goodbye to him, but when they saw him like this, they naturally wanted to ask, and the mysterious man with the black gauze was also next to him, so he told all the things about Lord Xie. ”

Lin Jianlan was stunned and said, "Is he there too? Isn't he already gone?"

The man said: "I don't know how he got to the same place with my father-in-law, come on, I'm just running errands for Yuan Xianggong, what the hell, you still go up and ask him." ”

Lin Jianlan had to climb the stairs, calm down his mood, and entered the hall, seeing that there was no one in the hall, only Yuan Xingjian was writing the desk, wearing a silver coat, and next to it were stacks of candles and tears, obviously working all night.

It was also at this time that Lin Jianlan found that the layout of the hall had changed, at this moment Yuan Xingjian's desk was already high, and a tiger skin was faintly spread on the back of the chair, which was quite majestic;

This change in the pattern made Lin Jianlan understand Yuan Xingjian's determination a little in his heart, the army is neutral and powerful, and the hierarchy needs to be strict, and the main purpose is not to "shelter" displaced refugees as in the past, but to train the power in this hand into a team that can compete with the imperial court.

Lin Jianlan took a step forward gently, looked up, and saw that Yuan Xingjian was also looking down, the two looked at each other, if in the past, they should have met and smiled, but because of Xie Yaohuan's death, he couldn't smile, and there was a burst of sourness and bitterness in his heart, and Lin Jianlan said for a while: "Brother Yuan." ”

Yuan Xingjian stepped down, came to Lin Jianlan, looked carefully, and saw that his face was very haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were a little chapped, and he said, "Brother Lin, I knew you would come." ”

Lin Jianlan didn't know how to answer correctly, Yuan Xingjian was afraid that he was here to help him, but the purpose of this trip was to persuade Yuan Xingjian to let go of this hatred, so he had to change the topic first: "Brother Yuan, you won't go back that day, I ...... I had no choice but to bury Master Xie with Su Wenwen. ”

Yuan Xingjian said with a wry smile on his lips: "Yes, I've heard that Wu Zetian buried her in a grand ceremony and made her a marquis, but what is the use of these for those who have died? For those of us who are alive, we can't get his life back." ”

Lin Jianlan saw that his eyes only revealed a strong sadness, and there was no domineering and domineering, and he said in his heart, maybe there was still room for things to turn around, and said tentatively: "I have seen the paper money scattered everywhere by Brother Yuan, and it seems that the results are remarkable, and the Taihu Righteous Army has returned to the way I and my stepfather were when we were back." ”

Yuan Xingjian said: "Sometimes things are really caused by the sky, and if this is the case, we must sweep away this ruthless and unrighteous sky." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Brother Yuan, so far, I don't want to hide it from you, you think I'm here to help you, in fact, I'm afraid I can't be like-minded with you, that day you said that you can't use the life and death of tens of thousands of people in the Taihu Lake as a tool for revenge, do you remember?"

Yuan Xingjian was silent for a long time and said, "Brother Lin, you come with me." ”

Lin Jianlan followed him out of the hall door in a daze, zigzagged to a lookout post, and saw Yuan Xingjian flying up with a long roar, and instantly stood at the top, so he also performed light skills, and when he arrived at Yuan Xingjian, he pointed to the bottom and said: "Brother Lin, you see, I haven't paid a penny for these, and I haven't indicated anything." ”

Lin Jianlan opened his eyes and looked at it from the gate of the village, it was just a very small place, and he looked at it at this moment, and he was shocked, where the water village below raised the flag and sailed, it was densely packed with plain white, and the white eyes were like giving birth to a heavy snow in this hot summer, at this moment Lin Jianlan really understood the feeling of tears in the grass and trees, and listened to Yuan Xingjian: "Do you think that I am the only one who has this burning thought of revenge in my heart?"

Lin Jianlan said: "Brother Yuan, this righteous army, only you can pacify and disperse, I have found out, the imperial court has already freed up its hands to deal with you, because Xie Daren refuted the public opinion, only to get a three-month delay, and now Junchen has been killed, although his nine deaths are not enough to compensate for the life of the adult, but Wu Zetian will never use the army against Jiangnan again, if you are bent on revenge at this moment, don't you push the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangnan into the fire pit?"

Yuan Xingjian said: "Brother Lin, don't you believe me? How do you know that we are going to jump into the fire pit, how do you know that we can't push the court in?"

Lin Jianlan said hurriedly: "The Kuangyi Gang has stopped funding, can they help you again now? If there is no food and grass and military salaries, how can you be able to defeat the well-equipped army?"

Yuan Xingjian said: "You don't have to worry about this, someone will fund it." ”

Lin Jianlan sighed, still trying to redeem it, and said: "Brother Yuan, don't read it, don't miss it, you have to think about Lord Xie, what is the purpose of his coming to Jiangnan, it is nothing more than to get rid of the killing machine of Qiankun, once he fights, ten years will not be peaceful, if there is a war, I am afraid that the impact on this place will not be eliminated for ten or eight years, even so, you ......"

But seeing Yuan Xingjian turn around, he said with tears in his eyes: "You don't want to mention Brother Xian, we don't know what he thought before he died! You dare to say that with torture, she doesn't have a trace of hatred for Wu Zetian? You dare to say that even if she was defiled and died by the court, she still doesn't want anyone to avenge him? I don't want to guess what she thought before she died, and you don't want to use her as an excuse to persuade me, just do what you think you should do in your heart, but you want to be worthy of your heart." All I know is that if I don't do something, I won't have the shame to go to her grave, and I won't be able to sleep at dusk. ”

Lin Jianlan didn't know how to answer when he asked him, indeed, "Xie Yaohuan doesn't want anyone to avenge her and rekindle the war in Jiangnan", this is just her own self-guessing based on her usual words and deeds, maybe she had remorse and hatred at the moment before she died, which is not something that the living can understand.

Yuan Xingjian sighed and said, "Brother Lin, my tone is too heavy, I can say whatever I want, but don't use her as an excuse to persuade me." If you want to stay here, stay, if you don't want to, I have no intention of stopping you, I will let the person who took you out again, but from now on, if you want to see me again, I am afraid that you can only be in front of the two armies. ”

Lin Jianlan was stunned when he saw what he said, and said: "Brother Yuan, why do you say this, I just persuade you according to my own ideas, and I will never do things for the imperial court......" Before he finished speaking, he saw that Yuan Xingjian had already jumped off the sentry post, and the big sword danced with the wind, showing endless loneliness.

Lin Jianlan stood on this sentry post, saw the sparkling waves in the distance, and the military appearance was neat nearby, and turned around to see that there were dozens of boats on the lake practicing the exercises, but in a few days, it was restored to this scale, Yuan Xingjian's talent is indeed not to be underestimated, the lake wind blows all over the body, thinking that the sweetness of the land of fish and rice in Taihu Lake is only in a few words of Yue Lingfeng's few words, he has never seen it, I am afraid that the war is ignited, and there is no chance to see it again. But I heard someone below: "I heard that someone came to see Yuan Xingjian, and it must be you, but I never thought that you came to persuade him not to raise troops today." ”

One of them walked out slowly from the corner of the stairs, and although he overheard the conversation between the two of them, there was no embarrassment on his face, but he walked steadily, step by step to the top.

Lin Jianlan said: "I never thought that my predecessors were still here, acting at the opportunity. Now, I'm afraid it's really a chance for my predecessors to take advantage of. ”

The man smiled and said, "Do you think what I did was wrong?"

Seeing that there was no one around, only Lin Jianlan was present, and the black veil covering his face was lifted on the hat, Lin Jianlan looked at him with a worried face at this moment, and his heart was really too contradictory, although he hoped that he would succeed from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't want him to act in such a way, and said for a while: "Ransong senior, are you satisfied?"

Wei Suxin said: "It's not too early to say that you are satisfied at this time." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Senior, I know that you still want to do something big, I don't know if you will blame me for persuading Yuan Xingjian to take a truce, but I have no other intentions, just what I think in my heart, I will do it." ”

Wei Suxin said: "He has been adrift for half his life, and he has not been blushing, and all the love and hate of his life have been poured out that night, and this will is not something that you can persuade back with a few words." ”

Lin Jianlan said secretly: "Although he didn't see it in person, just these few sentences made things very transparent, and it was really scary to figure out human nature to this extent." Listen to him again: "It's just that what makes me angry is not this, but that the Kuangyi Gang actually withdrew from Taihu Lake, and the little girl from the South China Sea faction also left, I'm afraid the reason is on you, you are afraid that it is the same as your father, although the flowing water is ruthless, this petal will always fall into the water and follow you." Although he said this, there was no reproach on his face, and his words seemed to be joking.

When Lin Jianlan heard him mention his father, he suddenly felt ashamed in his heart, and explained: "The juniors have been away for a few days, how can I say that they are leaving, I am afraid that they will have something to do with their own help." Speaking of this, he hurriedly raised his head and said, "Ransong senior, you ...... Maybe you can persuade Brother Yuan to come back, don't take the Taihu Rebels as a bet, okay?"

Wei Suxin's face changed at this moment and said: "My ambition has never avoided you, you should have known that I wanted to overthrow Empress Wu for a long time, and now I have this good opportunity, just like that day under the command of Duke Xu, I finally have a force in my hands, to inherit the ideals that countless heroic souls could not accomplish that day, but you let me give up? Have you ever expressed great regret for what your father did, but it was all fake?"

Lin Jianlan's face turned pale when he reprimanded him, and he said, "I ......"

Wei Suxin sighed and said, "You have always been too kind, too easily deceived by the false illusion of compassion of the Empress Wu. Yes, Empress Wu is very guilty about Xie Yaohuan's death, but if I hadn't stopped Yuan Xingjian, I'm afraid that Lai Junchen would have died under his hands. ”

Lin Jianlan was stunned and said, "Could it be that he was a senior in Yongdao that day?"

Wei Suxin said: "It was I who led Yuan Xingjian away and told him that the relationship was powerful, and he spared Lai Junchen's life and did not go to him, otherwise the word 'righteousness' would not be in the Taihu Righteous Army." ”

Lin Jianlan nodded, and saw Wei Suxin's relaxed face again, patted himself on the shoulder and said: "Yuan Xingjian already had a mind at that time, he wanted to reorganize Taihu Lake to avenge Xie Yaohuan, obviously it is not appropriate to show his face, fortunately, there is still you, tell the truth, and Junchen has no way to retreat." You're doing a good job. ”
