When Mrs. Lin hugged Wang Xiaotian, took Lin Daoming's hand, followed by Ye Annie and Thomas, and walked out of the hall, the soldiers outside were all stunned.

The order they received was to rescue Mrs. Lin and Xiao Gongzi, but now the two of them walked out unharmed.

Soon, someone discovered that something was wrong with Ye Annie and Thomas, and immediately exchanged heads and ears, and quickly passed the information to Lieutenant Colonel Meng Kan, who was in charge of command.

Meng Kan shouted at Ye Annie, "Who are you?"

"Don't mess around. Seeing that Meng Kan was about to mess around, Mrs. Lin immediately took a snort, "Our mother and son are safe, these two are friends who saved our mother and son." Lurkers and traitors are inside. ”

At this time, Lin Shaotang, who was dressed in military uniform, separated everyone to greet him, "Madame, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Mrs. Lin was afraid that Lin Shaotang would be impulsive, so she hurriedly turned around and introduced: "Xianggong, this is Duke Ye Annie." ”

Lin Shaotang was secretly taken aback, immediately stopped, and immediately looked as usual, "Duke Ye Annie is here, Lin has missed the distance, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Ye Annie said politely: "Captain Lin is polite. Commander Meng and all of you took care of me and let me live here for three years, I am really grateful. Say goodbye today, and meet again. Leave. ”

With that, she and Thomas, holding hands, rose into the air, flew as fast as lightning towards the top of the mountain, and in an instant they crossed the mountain and disappeared.

Lin Shaotang's face was grim, and he watched the two disappear on the top of the mountain. He was secretly glad that although the two were not friends or foes, at least there was no malice, and they left directly. Otherwise, there will be no problem with the group destroying their own side.

Jin Ou City, Lin Mansion Study.

The small red clay stove and a wisp of tea fragrance made Mrs. Lin, who was frightened, feel great comfort.

She picked up the purple clay cup produced in Jiangnan, took a sip of tea from Mount Emei, and couldn't help but say: "It's so exciting, it's so exciting." You can't imagine that the situation at that time was really ups and downs, peaks and loops, and unbelievable. Let me tell you, at that time, ...... "Mrs. Lin painted a vivid voice and was the original local, and told Lin Shaotang the details of the incident.

Lin Shaotang frowned when he heard this, and was silent, but his heart was like water on the stove and in the iron kettle.

A marquis of the Xiluo Kingdom has been lurking in his own defense area for three whole years, and he is unaware of it, and he has not even received a little news.

If it hadn't happened, God knows how long she'd be lurking. Moreover, while in the lurk, she was also promoted to the rank of duke!

If it was just a marquis, even if it was a marquis at his peak, Lin Shaotang would be confident and fearless of her.

But the duke is different.

The difference between a duke and a marquis can be said to be worlds apart.

Purely divided by combat power, the first to third levels are the initial level, the fourth to sixth levels are the intermediate level, and the seventh to eighth level are the high level.

From a sixth-level marquis to a seventh-level duke, it is not only an increase in rank, but also a leap in class.

Along with the class jump, the Duke will comprehend a special skill - "Domain", in which he is the master!

Therefore, the duke's combat power is strong, and three or five marquis may not be able to compete with the duke.

Ye Annie is a marquis, and Lin Shaotang alone can compete with it. She was promoted to duke, and even if the entire Fourth Frontier Army was dispatched, it might not be able to defeat her.

On the battlefield, the duke's domain, if it is a large-scale lethality, a soldier below the third level, no matter how many there are, is just cannon fodder, and the third to fifth levels can only save their lives.

Only cultivators above level five can resist the duke's large-scale attacks, and then use the tactics of the sea of people, using human lives as a grinding plate and grinding slowly.

He used the sixth-level Force to become the peak of the division's combat power, looking for an opportunity to strike hard, and he could seriously injure the duke.

And it can only be seriously injured. Because every duke has a life-saving stunt, if you want to kill a duke, unless it is the same level of combat power, don't even think about it.

Lin Shaotang secretly rejoiced, thanks to her lack of hostility, otherwise Jinou City would have changed hands long ago, and his net worth and life would have long been lost.

Then, Lin Shaotang thought about the issue of bloodline again.

Whether it is Ye Annie fleeing from Xiluo Country and lurking in Qingchuan Station, or Jerry Yang and Luke Zhang defecting to the enemy. And through Mrs. Lin's oral account, which took place a few years ago, the Great Purge of the Kingdom of Silo was ultimately due to the issue of blood.

Because of her ancestry from the Eastern Chu Kingdom, Ye Annie was purged and hunted down. Because of his Siro blood, Jerry Yang was hit, so he united, and Lu Kezhang, who also had Siro blood, defected to the enemy.

The degree of these conflicts is different, and the level of people involved is different, but it is a very intuitive response, what kind of situation has the contradiction intensified between the Eastern Chu Kingdom and the Xiluo Kingdom, between pure blood and mixed blood!

The issue of ancestry has been around for a long time. As a lieutenant general of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, Lin Shaotang can be regarded as the backbone of the country, and the secrets he can access far exceed ordinary people.

Judging from the information he came into access, in the old era, the bloodline conflict was already very intense, and even because of this, large-scale conflicts broke out many times.

A respected scholar once speculated that the wars that led to the new era were essentially blood contradictions. It's just that the war that led to the new era was too fierce and cruel, and the vast majority of the parties involved had fallen directly, and countless precious classics and documents were also destroyed by the war.

Although he has been in charge of the Fourth Frontier Army, he has deliberately weakened the bloodline contradiction, coupled with the fact that Jinoucheng is far away from the political center of the Eastern Chu State, and the information is relatively closed, and the bloodline problem has not made many waves.

But he did a lot of calculations, why didn't he expect that a little lieutenant would completely wipe out his years of hard work.

In the future, no matter how much you persuade and suppress yourself, the bloodline contradiction will inevitably become more and more intense. Knowing this, he shouldn't have cherished his talents in the first place, and he should have directly kicked Jerry Young to the outpost at the forefront and ate sand.

In Lin Shaotang's view, it is ridiculous to distinguish between friend and foe by blood, and even go back to the old era more than a thousand years ago to find blood differences.

After all, because of the multi-year war at the end of the old era, the population withered, and there was not one in ten.

After the new era, the surviving human beings have already mutated, mixed together, intermarried with each other, and their bloodlines are no longer pure.

Not to mention father and son, even if they are biological brothers of the same father and mother, if they are born before and after the new era, there is a huge difference between the two. Not to mention, the ancestors of many people with foreign ancestry are more than 1,000 years old.

This is already the case with real bloodlines, and it is even more absurd to distinguish bloodlines based on the way they are named alone.

Moreover, most of the so-called, people with Xiluo ancestry, in terms of appearance, speech and demeanor, and even blood analysis, are almost no different from the pure Eastern Chu people, and even the bloodline may be more pure than some of the so-called pure Eastern Chu people!

At present, when the country is employing people, why should it intensify the contradictions and damage its own strength?

It's just that he doesn't have a high position of power and can't be the master. He didn't understand what those bigwigs entrenched in the national capital were thinking. All he can do is to try to persuade and suppress as much as possible, control the bloodline contradiction in his own defense area, and avoid intensification, as for the effect, he can only wait and see.

Lin Shaotang temporarily put aside the thorny question of blood contradiction, and asked, "By the way, what's going on with that child?"

Madame Lin took a sip of tea, "According to Duke Ye Annie, that child is an orphan, but he used it to hide his identity. However, if this is the case, why would she bother to give him the source of the inheritance that contains her own cultivation secret method?"

Lin Shaotang said: "The cultivation secret method contained in the source of inheritance not only helps the cultivation of the inherited, but also allows the inheritor to have an induction of the inherited. Although you can't know everything about it, you can also sense important information such as cultivation level, life and death status, etc. ”

"Unless you are very close to someone, you are generally reluctant to give it to outsiders. After all, even if it is a duke, there are only a limited number of inheritance sources that can be condensed in his lifetime, and it will take several years of cultivation. ”

"Then, did you say that the child was born to Anne Ye? just because she felt that this trip was dangerous and didn't want to bring a burden, so she left him to us?"

Gossip is a woman's nature, and when it comes to Ye Annie's privacy, Mrs. Lin's gossip fire can't help but burn.

"I can't say exactly. Lin Shaotang's fingers tapped lightly, and the marble table made a crisp "ding" sound. This is a habitual action when he thinks.

"Ye Annie has outstanding combat power, and has been promoted to duke, unless her whereabouts are exposed, this trip to the snowy region of the North Continent, in addition to the difficult road, the danger is not great, and it is not difficult to take this child. The real danger lies in the fact that she and the country of Xiluo, the mastermind behind the great purge against them, will inevitably fight fiercely in the snowy region of the North Continent after a head-on conflict. For a child who has no combat effectiveness, such a place is indeed not the best place to live. ”

"Leave the child here, firstly, Ye Annie and us, there is no direct conflict, we will not be angry with this child because of her; second, we know that Ye Annie is ruthless and decisive, and the murderer is notorious, unless we know for sure that she has fallen, we will not offend her for no reason, and the child will not be in danger if she stays with us. ”

Therefore, she left the child entirely out of a choice that was beneficial to the child, and as for whether the child was her own child, unless she admitted it herself, it was just speculation. ”

Mrs. Lin said: "She can arrange such a careful arrangement for a child who can be used to disguise her identity, it is really a little suspicious." ”

Lin Shaotang thought for a while and waved his hand, "Forget it, don't talk about it." Since you promised her, you have to treat him well. The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and if you form this good relationship, you may have unexpected gains in the future. ”

"It's a pity, that's the source of the Duke's legacy. Mrs. Lin was sorry.
