Chapter 2 Love for Daughters
The caravan marched all the way to Bayan at the foot of Hangai Mountain, but this place was already the sphere of influence of the eldest prince Helian Chu. On the vast grassland, countless lakes are like blue eyes on the green grassland, countless horses gallop freely on the grassland, and white sheep float on the green sky like white clouds.
Xuan Qi felt extremely quiet, and let the horses run freely on the grassland until it was completely dark, and then returned to Bayan. When Lin Quan saw Xuanqi coming back, he took out the best frozen top oolong tea, moved the tables and chairs from the inn, and boiled tea on the grassland behind the inn.
The aroma of tea wafts out, mixed with the fragrance of earth and grass, which is refreshing. After drinking the first cup of tea, Lin Quan opened his mouth and asked Xuan Qi, "Mr. Bai, have you ever been married in the family?"
Xuan Qi was stunned, he didn't know why Lin Quan asked like this, and after thinking about it, he thought that Lin Quan was just gossiping with himself, and he replied truthfully at the moment: "I already have two wives in the next house." Lin Lao asked at this moment, but it made Zai Xia miss his wife and children at home a lot. ”
Lin Quan's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, along the way, Lin Quan and Xuan Qi got along for many days, and he appreciated Xuan Qi's gentleness, humility and courtesy. Thinking of his daughter Lin Ruoxi, who has been thinking about tea and dinner since she came back from Tibet, Lin Quan gave birth to the intention of marrying Lin Ruoxi to Xuanqi, hoping that his daughter can come out of that relationship and find true happiness.
After returning to Shanxi, Lin Quan, who was happy for his daughter, also took a portrait of Xuanqi and asked about Xuanqi's situation everywhere. In the end, Lin Quan still knew Xuan Qi's true identity, and the man Gu Qingping, who was like a killing god, was the little prince of the Zhenwang Mansion. Lin Quan was shocked, but naturally knew that as a small businessman, he would definitely not be worthy of the identity of a relative of the Seventh Emperor Xuan.
And when Xuan Qi led the army to Shanxi, Lin Quan also thought about whether to ask to see Xuan Qi, but in the end he let it go. Now that he met Xuan Qi again, Lin Quan didn't recognize it, but he always felt that Xuan Qi's figure was very similar to the original killing god Gu Qingping. In fact, judging from these days, Lin Ruoxi does not seem to be repulsive to Xuan Qi, but always looks at Xuan Qi blankly from the carriage, this is the first time that Lin Ruoxi does not reject another man after returning from Tubo.
Lin Quan also thought that a man as good as Xuan Qi might have a marriage match in his family, but now he said it himself from Xuan Qi's mouth, but he was still a little disappointed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Lin Quan's pensive look, Xuan Qi didn't know what Lin Quan was thinking, so he had to ask.
"It's nothing!" Lin Quan woke up from his contemplation and smiled apologetically at Xuan Qi, remembering that for the sake of his daughter's happiness, some things still had to be done. Although Xuanqi's family already has two loving wives, as long as the daughter can show a smile, what does it matter? Lin Quan, who has made up his mind, only then opened his mouth to ask the words in his heart: "Does Mr. Bai mind having a third wife?"
"Why did Lin Lao ask this?" Xuan Qi raised his eyes and looked into Lin Quan's eyes and asked.
Since Lin Quan has a mind, he no longer hides it, and at the moment, from Tubo to asking people around with the portrait of Xuanqi, he said it one by one. At the same time, Lin Quan naturally also said that he intended to tell Lin Ruoxi about Xu Xuanqi.
Xuan Qi was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Quan, who was less than sixty, but his temples were obviously much whiter than when he first saw him, and he was also quite moved by Lin Quan's love for his daughter. Xuan Qi suddenly felt that he had made a great mistake by walking with Lin Quan's caravan, and it was very likely that he would break the heart of this respectable elder again.
Xuan Qi, who thought about it, still made a decision, knelt straight in front of Lin Quan, and kowtowed respectfully three times. Lin Quan was stunned for a while, thinking that Xuan Qi had already promised him, so he hurriedly smiled and said that he didn't dare, and helped Xuan Qi up.
"Lin Lao, there are some things that I still think I have to let you know. I should apologize to you in advance!"
"This ······" Lin Quan saw Xuan Qi's solemn appearance, and also saw the sincerity in Xuan Qi's eyes, and thought that Xuan Qi was sorry because he wanted to reject himself and felt embarrassed. It's just that this apology doesn't seem to need to kowtow to yourself, right?
"Why does Mr. Bai have to be like this, the old man deserves it!"
"I respect Lin Lao's love for his daughter, and I also think of the children in the family. It should be regarded as a tribute to Lin Lao for the children of the world!"
Lin Quan knew that Xuan Qi was refusing in disguise, but he couldn't say anything, so he sighed, raised the teacup in his hand, and said to Xuan Qi: "Mr. Bai, please use tea!"
Early the next morning, Xuan Qi said goodbye to Lin Quan, set out on the road alone, and continued to the west. And behind Xuan Qi, there was still Lin Ruoxi's resentful eyes.
Xuan Qi went all the way to the west, and walked not far away, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves and shouts in the distance, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that there must be another battle in front of him at this time, and he didn't know how many times he had encountered it along the way. Xuan Qi did not want to be drawn into the battle between the two sides, so he immediately turned his horse's head, bypassed the battlefield, and went west along the southern edge of Hangai Mountain.
On this day, Xuanqi passed by a small town, and when he was eating, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and four men in Xiongnu costumes walked in, spoke Xiongnu dialect loudly, and found a table and sat down. Not long after, the store delivered food, and the four of them did not speak, and quietly began to eat.
Xuan Qi didn't care, and after eating his own things, he put a piece of broken silver on the table and stood up. Hearing the sound, the four Hun men looked up and saw that it was an ordinary Han person, so they didn't care, and bowed their heads and ate.
Xuan Qi was stunned, the man with his back to him exposed the blade inserted in his waist when he turned around, but it seemed that it was a team of water-splitting Emei thorns. And Xuan Qi could also see clearly that although the man was dressed in a Xiongnu costume, he was obviously a Han Chinese.
This reminded Xuan Qi of the masked man who intercepted and killed Mrs. Hua Shiwu and Hua Minglu in the first place, but one of them was the one who used the Dividing Emei Thorn. And the person's appearance, although it is not very clear, is somewhat similar to the Zhu Huolong described by Zhujiazhuang. It has been more than thirty years since Zhu Huolong left Zhujiazhuang, and his appearance has changed somewhat, so it is not surprising.
Xuan Qi secretly thought that he really had nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it would take no effort to get there! Or follow this Zhu Huolong, not to mention finding the whereabouts of Hua Yingchun and Li Mengyao immediately, but there will definitely be unexpected gains. ()
