He didn't want to ask Lin Xiaoyu what he did for Ransong in the end, even if he had suffered so much for what happened back then, even if he no longer felt ashamed of it, but he himself had already betrayed his ideals over the years, constantly compromised, and constantly traded. Ransong is once again only one step away from the supreme power, isn't it not his several actions that have somehow made history repeat itself?

The silent iron door was knocked lightly a few times, and Cao Yinyin whispered outside: "Lin Gong, it's almost evening." ”

Lin Jianlan slowly stood up, bowed solemnly and said: "You don't need to do anything for him now, you can reunite with your mother, our home is still there, you can accompany her well, this is also your wish all along, more than ten years of suffering must always be rewarded, and the deputy Qin gang leader outside can keep you safe." ”

Lin Jianlan raised his head and saw the snow-white dripping flowers all over the wall. The person in front of him, and his mother, the most important thing is the other party, he has never been the most important, his mother has never even remembered himself, thinking of this, he has burst into tears, and he cried on the ground: "After tonight, I don't know life and death, you ...... Only raise children and not be filial. ”

Lin Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "Providence made my father an enemy of Chaosong, but I failed to be consistent, and finally fell on your shoulders. I can't make it or break tonight, but I have one thing that worries me the most. You don't have to think that he will lose everything if he loses once, he is ready to retreat in order to make a comeback. ”

Wei Su scheming Lin Jianlan doesn't know, a person with such a deep mind will definitely not gamble, but no matter from which point of view, this time is the one he is most prepared and closest to success, if he loses this time, there will be no another ten years for him to plan carefully, and there will be no other chaotic and turbulent situation for him to take advantage of, what capital has he ever had to start over?

Lin Xiaoyu seemed to see his thoughts, and said: "There is nothing that touches people's hearts in the world than fame and fortune, but the root of 'fame' is still the word 'profit'. In addition, just after the turmoil, the foundation is unstable, and the change of ownership through abnormal means is even more likely to make people's hearts more melancholy, and the huge interests that you can hardly imagine will surely shake all this. ”

Lin Jianlan was amused, he couldn't imagine that he could hear such a naïve and ridiculous argument from Lin Xiaoyu's mouth, and to be able to override the imperial power is to buy off the entire administrative organization.

It was not early, and he was very afraid that he would miss a big event, and he didn't want to be entangled anymore, but he heard Lin Xiaoyu say clearly: "Do you know what it means to be rich and rival the country? Rao is rich and rich in the Tang Dynasty, but there is wealth that can buy the whole country, do you believe it?"

Lin Jianlan looked back in amazement and said, "What?" and forced a smile to himself, and said, "How is it possible, this is ...... It's ridiculous. ”

This kind of old martial arts thing, Lin Jianlan heard Lin Longqing say a lot, when all kinds of treasure maps appeared, it was a catastrophe in martial arts, every time the elite of each sect lost at least seventy or eighty percent, and the vitality was greatly damaged, and it would take more than a hundred years for several generations of younger brothers to slow down at the earliest, but there were very few who really got any treasures. Lin Longqing once warned himself not to believe in these so-called treasure maps, eight times out of ten they are the conspiracy of people with ill intentions. Now this so-called treasure of "rich and rival country" is about to come out of Lin Xiaoyu's mouth solemnly, it is not really a letter, nor is it a refutation, so he has to say casually: "Even if it is a treasure, there must always be a treasure map, and how can it be that only one person knows about it?"

Lin Xiaoyu said: "I don't know where he got it from, only this matter, he hasn't even revealed the most trusted person." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "This is even stranger, how can I tell you if this is the case?"

Lin Xiaoyu said: "Do you think he trusts me? Just because the characters on the picture are all exotic words, he doesn't know what they mean, and it is not until recently that there has been some progress." ”

Lin Jianlan sighed: "Okay, even if what you say is true, what else can I do? I don't have a treasure map in my hand, and my martial arts can't be compared to him, and I'm even more alone, I can't compare to his many minions, how can I stop it?"

Lin Xiaoyu knew that he still didn't believe it, so he slowly moved to the table, gently fiddled with the wick in the oil lamp, the oil was about to burn out, and there was a very high flame jumping on the wick in the opposite direction, and he pulled a piece of paper and wrote a few lines of words, and said: "He didn't show me the map, but only traced the words on it for me to find the translation, and with his intelligence, he should know where the treasure is by comparing it with the ancient maps of the past dynasties." ”

Lin Jianlan couldn't help but take two steps closer, and saw that the desk was very messy, and the books were piled up everywhere, mixed with countless papers full of strange words, and he couldn't understand it at all, so he turned his head to look at Lin Xiaoyu writing, but he felt that what seemed to be something familiar to him just now, and couldn't help but look at the objects on the desk again, and suddenly saw the neat words "E Wu Shiqi" on the spine of a book, and hurriedly picked it up, muttering: "This book ......"

At this moment, I felt that Lin Xiaoyu was not talking nonsense, Uncle Qing once said that his father's collection of books was missing more than a dozen copies shortly after he left home, and the number of this book was in it, all of which were the introductions and words of some ancient barbarian lands, it turned out that Wei Suxin had the mysterious treasure map in his hand at that time, Lin Xiaoyu was quite interested in this kind of knowledge, and also had some experience and experience, perhaps this was the main reason why Ransong tried his best to persuade him to leave home, and then he came to this day by chance.

When the last line was written, Lin Xiaoyu's withered hand was already trembling slightly, and said: "That picture must have been done very carefully, and it was loosely translated, and it never came again, but I kept a secret and didn't talk to him." I don't know who made this treasure map, the ancient ones on it are not the original characters, I don't know how many years are separated from this dynasty, if there is no second part, I can't find the right place anyway. ”

Lin Jianlan asked unconsciously, "Part II?"

Lin Xiaoyu folded the paper and said, "The second part is even more ingenious, and it is also divided into two pieces, and if any one is missing, you can only sigh." The first thing I saw was only one piece, and the words on it were a little similar to the ones that were written on me, but not exactly the same, and after pondering for more than a year, I still couldn't get in. Only recently, Ransong handed the second piece to my hand, and the words on the piece were very obvious carving a Han love poem, and the comparison between the two compartments made me know that there must be some kind of correspondence between the two before and after, and then I analyzed the words on the treasure map. ”

Lin Jianlan nodded and said, "It turns out that the second part is like a stepping stone to this entire treasure map. ”

Lin Xiaoyu said: "It's not just that, Ransong thought it was all unraveled, and he couldn't wait to take the translated place name, and he didn't even have time to listen to me about the next internal story." I thought he was a wonderful person, but he was also incomprehensible, because I liked that love poem without being bound by the rhythm and sincere feelings, so I often pondered it carefully, and finally saw some tricks. While the treasure map must have been clearly marked, I suspect that the love poem indicates a more specific location. After that, he kept flipping through the messy paper on the table, but his hands were shaking more and more.

Lin Jianlan held his hand and said, "Don't worry, look for it slowly." But seeing a piece of paper exposed under his trembling hands, the faintly emerging words made Lin Jianlan can't help but let go of Lin Xiaoyu's wrist, and pulled out the paper, as if it was not enough to exceed the weight of this paper, let the paper fall on the table, but his fingers repeatedly mossed on the pattern, and the vaguely warm feeling was still at the fingertips.

What father's deathbed will to gather the jade plate, what kind of love thing, the loss of chaos can be said so really touching, it is too naïve, he can believe that for these reasons he can do everything possible to trick Duanmu Ear down the mountain, so that Doctor Cheng can attack himself and Duanmu for this jade pendant twice, and finally killed himself at night, for the half of the jade pendant in his hand.

Lin Xiaoyu was very happy to see this piece of paper, but he didn't notice Lin Jianlan's strange expression, he still trembled and folded it, and handed it to Lin Jianlan very cautiously with the previous piece of paper full of place names, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, that's it, I thought I lost it." He turned around and held Lin Jianlan's hand and said: "You must remember that this poem should be a place to hide treasures, look at this jade pendant, with my knowledge, it is not like the original object, the copied place name, it seems to be the same as the words of the Western Regions, I guess this treasure must be in an oasis in the desert." Do you know that there is a plant in the desert that is not afraid of thirst, can live for thousands of years, and will not stand even if it dies...... Stone, stone ......" Speaking of this, his voice gradually weakened, Lin Jianlan was shocked at this moment, Lin Xiaoyu had slowly fallen to the edge of the table, his eyes looked at the oil lamp, and his chapped lips bloomed with a shallow smile, as if he was sarcastic.

Lin Jianlan followed his gaze and looked over, the oil lamp was about to burn out, and the flames on the wick were jumping with all their might, as if Lin Xiaoyu had just done everything to confess what he knew to himself, and at this moment, the lamp had gradually weakened.

His smile turned out to mean that he was like this oil lamp, which had long since run out of oil.

Lin Jianlan turned his back, wiped away the tears on his face, turned his head with a smile, and helped him and said, "You ...... Why are you so stupid?" As soon as he finished speaking, tears rolled down his eyes, and he could no longer speak.

Lin Xiaoyu's wandering gaze finally fixed on the wall, the branches spread above, the pear blossoms were in full bloom, and the two eyes like dry wells were like filling with clear spring water at this moment, and said weakly: "The scene is the scene of the day, people are not the people of the year, the affairs of the world, the passing is like flowing water, where can I go back......?" Can you still ......" but his eyes slowly closed, and a slight sigh came out of his throat, like the last nostalgia and lament for this world.

Lin Jianlan couldn't cry anymore, and a "father" was always choked in his throat, but he couldn't call him once until he passed away.

Cao Yinyin and Qin Tianxiong really didn't expect it to take so long for him to go in for the second time, Cao Yinyin urged softly as if he hadn't heard it at all, Nian Xiaoxia hurriedly came down from the top of the tunnel and said, "Sister Yin Yin, it's already dark outside, what can I do?"

Cao Yinyin said: "Don't be in a hurry, the darker it is, the better it will be for us to go out." Cao Yinyin and Qin Tianxiong glanced at each other, and were about to go in to see what was going on, but saw that the woman had already rushed in first, her clothes were scraped by the iron door, and she ripped off a piece of white satin with a brush, and she didn't notice it.

A few people went in, and saw Lin Jianlan kneeling on the ground, motionless like a clay sculpture, and the wind bamboo fell in front of him, Qin Tianxiong couldn't help but take two steps forward and said, "Why is he ......" but was grabbed by Cao Yinyin and shook his head.

They were silent for a long time, and Lin Jianlan had some movement, closed his eyes, let tears run across his face, and muttered: "Fame, love, tired all life, can finally ...... ...... at last"

Eventually...... Rest in peace.

Although Lin Jianlan's voice was low, it sounded extremely sad, Nian Xiaoxia saw him sad, and gently walked next to him and took his hand and said, "Lin Gong, is the person lying on the ground your grandfather?"

Lin Jianlan shook his head, stood up, picked up Lin Xiaoyu's body, gently leaned against the wall, turned his head, but saw his mother slowly approaching, as if he no longer recognized himself, passing by himself, looking at the pear blossoms on the wall attentively and eagerly, his eyes bloomed with a strange look, stroking one by one, leaving this branch and climbing onto another branch, a pair of jade hands were extremely light, as if they were really touching the petals.

Lin Jianlan opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, seeing her put her whole body against the wall, slowly sliding down, plain white clothes covered Lin Xiaoyu's tattered and dirty clothes under the wall, slender fingers slowly caressed Lin Xiaoyu's skull-like cheeks, a green silk hung down, and the sharp and smooth jaw where it was hidden, slowly water droplets gathered there, and kept dripping on Lin Xiaoyu's unkempt white hair.

At this time, several people had probably guessed the relationship between this woman and "Fengzhu", and their relationship with Lin Jianlan was naturally self-evident, silently looking at the hard-won gathering in front of them, they couldn't bear to disturb it. After a long time, the wet marks on the jaw slowly dried up, Cao Yinyin glanced at Lin Jianlan, and saw that he looked at the two people in front of him with straight eyes, as if he had lost his mind, sighed and walked over gently, just squatted down and couldn't help but snort softly, looking at Lin Jianlan's face was full of worry and pity, and said in a trembling voice: "Lin Gong." ”

The woman had already stopped breathing, Lin Jianlan walked up to her, and saw that on the gentle and beautiful face, her eyes were still blind, and her eyes were still full of tears, and the tears seemed to be about to fall at any time, but they would never fall again.
