Chapter 72: I Will Like Iron (II)
Lin Zongtang's eyes flashed, and he replied, "Your Highness, you can't keep it." If a person's life is guaranteed, it can be saved, and Yuanmou will not die back then. You can stop the old man from killing people with the royal law, but can you stop me from abandoning the royal law? I know that this matter will anger Your Majesty, but I will never change it!"
"Bang!" The door opened, and Ao Jianghai and Guan Yingwu rushed in, shouting: "Lin Zongtang, Lao Tzu is standing here, if you have a kind of person, you will take my head!"
Lin Zongtang didn't look at Ao Jianghai, and said indifferently: "I've been looking for the murderer for 20 years, so why wait a few more days?"
Ma Hanguang said angrily: "We also have three brothers who died in the hands of Lin Yuanmou!"
Lin Zongtang's eyes lowered and said, "Yuanmou is the son of the old man. β
Ma Zhu'er came out of the crowd and shouted: "Lin Zongtang, don't you want to avenge your son?
After saying that, she raised her palm and slapped it on her forehead, Ao Jianghai quickly grabbed Ma Zhu'er's wrist and scolded: "Straight mother thief, his son's life is expensive, and our brother's life is not life?"
Lin Zongtang was unmoved, and said word for word: "I only have one son." β
Because he only had one son, Lin Yuanmou died, and waited for Lin Zongtang to die.
What kind of hatred could be deeper and more hateful?
Ji Cheng was silent, he suddenly understood Lin Zongtang's painful state of mind in the past twenty years.
But if you want to watch Ao Jianghai and others die, how can you do it?
In the silence and depression, Dou Bao suddenly spoke: "No, you have more than one son!"
Lin Zongtang raised his head suddenly, his gaze burning like a blade shooting directly at Dou Leopard's face.
Qiu Ying smiled bitterly: "Fifth brother, do you really want to do this?"
Dou Leopard's expression was calm, and he said slowly: "Lord Lin has only one son, and our brother owes him, and he must pay it back!"
Lin Zongtang stared at Dou Leopard and said, "What do you want to say?"
"Lord Lin," Dou Bao replied word by word, "You also have a grandson!"
Lin Zongtang's body was shocked, and he was a little distracted: "He...... Not dead?"
"Little Tiger," Dou Leopard gritted his teeth and called, "You come here!"
Dou Hu vaguely understood, looked at Dou Bao blankly and said, "Father!"
Dou Bao didn't dare to face Dou Hu's hesitant and confused eyes, and said ruthlessly: "Back then, we killed Lin Yuanmou by mistake, and his wife rushed out of the back room with a baby who had just been born not long ago. She really thought we were bandits, and said miserably, 'I only hate that I can't avenge your husband's husband, but if you want to insult me, you can't!......'
Lin Zongtang was speechless, but his trembling sleeves had betrayed the agitation and grief in his heart.
Guan Yingwu continued: "Ma Zhu'er reacted the fastest and saved the baby from Mrs. Lin's hands. Who knew that Mrs. Lin bit the pill hidden under the root of her tongue and committed suicide by taking poison, we couldn't save it, and we heard the sound of people outside, so we had to hurriedly evacuate with the baby. β
Dou Hu's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "That baby is me?"
Dou Leopard nodded with difficulty and sighed: "None of us dare to say it, for fear that if you know the truth, you will hate us for the rest of your life." But there is no paper in the world that can hold the fire, and the debt owed to your father and son for 20 years has not been repaid until today, and it is already too late! We can't live with Lord Lin, and we can't live with your real biological father. β
"Snort!" Lin Zongtang shot like lightning, tearing open the placket of Dou Hu's chest without warning.
Dou Hu subconsciously flashed back, and Lin Zongtang did not make any further movements, just staring at his bare chest as if he had been demonized.
Everyone unconsciously looked at Dou Hu's chest, and saw a totem tattoo the size of a copper coin at the mouth of his heart.
Ji Chengche was stunned and said, "It's the Night Fire Totem?!"
"Yes, it's the Night Fire Totem. Lin Zongtang's eyes moistened instantly, and he raised his head and roared: "Yuanmou, you know in the spirit of the sky, my Lin family's spark inheritance, and finally have a queenββ"
"Bang!" Ao Jianghai knelt heavily on the ground, and kowtowed to the ground with shackles and shackles: "Lord Lin, I, Ao Jianghai, can't stand the three generations of your ancestors and grandchildren! These twenty years are for nothing, if you want to kill, kill it, Ao Mou has no complaints!"
Guan Yingwu, Ma Gong'er, Qiu Ying, Dou Bao and Ao Jiao all burst into tears and knelt down facing Lin Zongtang.
Ji Chengche suddenly realized that he was redundant here, how many people's blood and tears have been soaked in the past twenty years of pursuit and evasion, extending to the grievances and hatreds of three generations?
Lin Zongtang lowered his head and looked at everyone, then looked at Dou Hu deeply, and suddenly shook his clothes and walked away.
Everyone looked out the door in amazement, only to hear the mournful whistling sound gradually drifting away until it was finally inaudible.
Lian Heguo scratched his head and said, "Your Highness, why did Lord Lin leave?"
Ji Chengche's heart fluctuated, patted Lian Heguo's shoulder and said, "Your errand has been completed, let Ao Jianghai go, and go back to Beijing to report to Lord Lin." β
As soon as Lian Heguo woke up, he hurriedly took out the key to unlock Ao Jianghai.
Unexpectedly, Ao Jianghai had a bullish temper, and said with a stalk on his neck: "No one is allowed to open the lock, I want to go to the capital with shackles and go to Dali Temple to confess and confess!"
Qiu Ying hurriedly said: "Brother Ao, Lord Lin has forgiven us, why do you bother to make any more trouble?"
"Fart!" Ao Jianghai said angrily: "Lord Lin, it is for the sake of Xiaohu that he will not pursue it." But the more he was like this, the more panicked Lao Tzu's heart became. Don't stop me, let me go to Dali Temple to plead guilty!"
Lian Heguo was in trouble and looked at Ji Chengqing for help.
Ji Chengche took the key in his hand, threw it at Ao Jianghai's feet and said, "Open the shackles, and I'll send you to Dali Temple." β
Ma Zhu'er was surprised: "Your Highness?"
Ji Chengche said calmly: "But before going to Dali Temple, you first accompany me to see my father and tell him about it." β
Ao Jianghai was stunned for a moment, and said, "Your Highness, this, this is not necessary, right?"
Ji Cheng's face sank suddenly, and said: "You are not very heroic, dare to fight Lin Zongtang face to face, dare to chase to Dali Temple, why don't you dare to accompany me to see my father and tell me about the bad things you did?"
Ao Jianghai is also strange, on weekdays, it will explode when he encounters a little spark, but at this time, it is like a frosted eggplant, and he snorted: "I, I'm afraid of being kicked out by His Majesty." β
"Bang!" Ji Chengche suddenly flew up and kicked Ao Jianghai's buttocks, and shouted: "Pus, how much is your life worth? β
Ao Jiao saw Ji Chengche beating and insulting her father, and she wanted to rush up with her big eyes, but she was grabbed by Ma Jiao'er.
Ji Chengche kicked down again, and sneered: "You have been my father's groom, and you followed him to fight in the south and the north to kill people and cut off your head, but you actually learned to cry and cry and hang yourself?"
Ao Jianghai's face was flushed, and he shouted: "Who said that my student girl will cry, make trouble, and hang yourself, Your Highness, do you want to shame Lao Ao?"
Ji Chengche stared at Ao Jianghai and said: "The key is at your feet, either open the shackles and follow me, or climb to your Dali Temple, and I will ask someone to help you prepare Bai Aya." β
Ao Jianghai was puzzled: "What can I do with His Highness?"
"Don't think about the official of the Yunmen Captain, it just so happens that there is a lack of someone around me who can talk to the horse, why don't you do it?"
"Okay, as long as Your Highness looks up to me, you can do anything!" Ao Jianghai said just do it, grabbed the key and opened the shackles.
Everyone was secretly relieved to see his heart knot untied, and Ma Hanguang asked, "Then what should we do?"
"Of course we do it together!" Guan Yingwu said without thinking: "Anyway, His Royal Highness has to eat after all, and it is indispensable to use a cook." β
Qiu Ying said with a sad face: "You all have to say, the little family property I have worked so hard to accumulate is still in Yunmen Pass." β
Ma Zhu'er said disdainfully: "Out of the breath, go back to be your old wealth, the old lady doesn't have you as a brother!"
Qiu Ying blushed, looked at Ji Chengche and said, "That...... Your Highness, don't you need an errand runner by your side? Don't look at me fat, it's okay to walk 800 a day and a 1,000 night. β
Ji Chengche couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "Well, you go back to Yunmen Pass to pick up your family first, and the matter over there will be settled by you." β
Qiu Ying straightened his chest and said, "No problem, it's all wrapped up in me!"
Ao Jianghai saw Dou Leopard in a daze, and asked in a rough voice: "Old Five, what do you say?"
Dou Leopard said uncontrollably: "I'm nothing, it doesn't matter if I wear this official robe or not, if Your Highness doesn't dislike me, I can be a bookkeeper." But the little tiger ......"
Dou Hu stood motionless like a clay sculpture, looking at Dou Bao with blank eyes like a stranger.
Ao Jiao's heart tightened and said, "Little Tiger!"
Dou Hu turned a deaf ear, stared at Dou Bao and said, "Why are you not my biological father? Why do you want to tell me that you are my father-killing enemy? Why, you have been hiding from me for 20 years, why don't you continue to hide it?"
Dou Leopard's face was gloomy and he muttered, "I...... I can't escape the sins I have created, and I will pay them back after all!"
Ma Zhu'er couldn't help but interject and persuade: "Xiaohu, your father ......"
"Shut up!" Dou Hu's voice suddenly raised to the point that even he was startled, clenched his fists and said: "He's not my father, he's not, my father ......"
He choked up and rushed out the door with a loud roar.
"Xiaohu, wait for me!" Ao Jiao hurriedly chased out, and the two disappeared into the night one after the other.
"Little Tiger!" Ma Zhu'er wanted to chase after him, but Dou Bao said miserably: "Let him go, with Jiao'er following him, it will be fine." β
Ma Zhu'er hated and said: "This kid, who has no heart and no lungs, has hurt him for 20 years in vain, and he will turn his face when he says it!"
Guan Yingwu smiled bitterly: "We killed his biological father and killed his biological mother, he has a grudge in his heart, can you blame him?"
Qiu Ying said: "It's better to let him calm down alone for a few days for the time being, otherwise there will be more thorns in my heart to stay here, and everyone will be uncomfortable." β
Everyone was silent for a while, although Dou Hu was adopted by Dou Bao and followed his surname, but everyone regarded him as their own son over the years.
Ji Chengche looked at Lian He Guo and said: "General Lian, please send more capable subordinates, these days in secret to protect Dou Hu and Ao Jiao, and report their whereabouts to General Ao and Dou Juncheng at any time." β
Lian Heguo agreed, and persuaded Dou Leopard: "Old Dou, don't take it too seriously, when Xiaohu wants to open it, he will naturally recognize you as a father." β
Dou Leopard neither nodded nor shook his head in despair, and Ji Cheng felt tricky when he saw this.
War, no matter whether you win or lose, no matter how glorious the heroes are, no matter how the glory is shocking, who can know the wounds and regrets behind them?
