Creation Color Master

Chapter 163 The truth comes out

The matter was resolved and Lin Mingwei prepared to leave.

But Chu Mo called him first, and said with a sincere smile: "Marquis Shenwei, I wonder if you can stay for a chat."

Lin Mingwei saved me three times. If I don't show my appreciation again, I'm afraid it would be hard to justify myself.

In fact, when Chu Mo first met Lin Mingwei, that is, when Xuanyuan Sword Sect called out the three words "Marquis Shenwei", he already understood the cause and effect of the matter.

Because Lin Ziwu had a conflict with him in the theater, Chen Gong filed a complaint to the Imperial Palace, which resulted in the Lin family's current fate. It can be said that he is the culprit.

At that time, I was shocked when I learned about this. Later, after thinking about it carefully, I realized that the fault was all my own.

His original intention was just to teach Lin Ziwu a lesson. Plus, he had just become a secret guard at that time, and a small figure might not be in the emperor's eyes at all, so he just wanted to get to know the secret guards.

But he asked Chen Gong to write the letter, completely ignoring the status of Chen Gong in the emperor's heart at that time. The petition written by Chen Gong made the emperor mistakenly believe that Chen Gong wanted an attitude towards the matter and it was an opportunity to win over Chen Gong, so the Lin family suffered this unexpected disaster.

Everything is caused by my own mistakes.

Therefore, when Chu Mo met Marquis of Shenwei for the first time, he was nervous and felt endless regret. He did not dare to face Marquis of Shenwei Lin Mingwei at all.

The second time he saw it, he wanted to explain, but he didn't have the chance to see it at all. After dealing with the evil black dragon, Lin Mingwei disappeared.

This time, Chu Mo finally called out Lin Mingwei, ready to pay for his mistake that year.

Chu Mo and Lin Mingwei looked at each other from a distance, the old and the young looked into each other's eyes, one with tenderness in his scrutiny, the other with regret in his sincerity.

Finally, Chu Mo spoke first, "My Lord, the Lin family has ended up like this. I believe you should know that I am the culprit. Why did you save me again and again?"

When Lin Mingwei saw that Chu Mo finally dared to look him in the face, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He slowly said, "Just like I said just now, I, Lin Mingwei, have no shame to heaven and earth. Besides, this matter is not your fault. You just did what a person should do. This is my Lin family's fault."

Chu Mo heard this and realized the great sense of justice of the Marquis in front of him. He could not help but bow and said, "Whether the Marquis believes it or not, I just wanted to teach Lin Ziwu a lesson. I didn't expect that it would harm the entire Lin family."

Lin Mingwei dodged to the side and did not accept it.

A few months ago, he was invited into the palace and had a long conversation with the emperor. The fate of the Lin family had already changed.

He knew that Chu Mo might be a prince who had fallen into the common people's care, and he also saw the emperor's attitude towards this common people's prince.

From the moment they entered the palace, the entire Lin family could no longer remain neutral in the court and had to take sides.

Of course, Lin Mingwei also followed the emperor's instructions and took sides.

In the entire dynasty, only myself, Shadow and Ghost knew that if I did not make a choice, the Lin family would not be in its current state, but would be a hundred times more tragic than this.

Chu Mo on the side looked up at Lin Mingwei with some confusion, thinking that he would not forgive him.

Seeing Chu Mo's look, Lin Mingwei explained, "Mr. Chu Mo, don't mind it. This matter is Lin Ziwu's fault after all. I am unworthy of this gift."

Chu Mo smiled and said, "No, I am not asking for your forgiveness, Lord. I am just thanking you for saving my life three times. You deserve this gift."

After saying this and bowing solemnly, it expresses gratitude from the heart.

This time Lin Mingwei did not hide, but accepted it with pleasure, with a look of recognition in his eyes.

Seeing Lin Mingwei like this, Chu Mo said directly: "Don't worry, Lord Hou. After all, the Lin family's affairs were caused by me. I will find a way."

Lin Mingwei waved his hand and said, "No, in fact, I should thank you for pulling the Lin family out of the vortex of power. My position in the imperial capital is too sensitive, and the identity of a foreign marquis will be watched by countless eyes. Although I have been cautious and kind to others all my life, the wall will fall and everyone will push it. Maybe one day the Lin family will end up with nothing left. This is already the best result."

Yao Guangxiao looked at Lin Mingwei with twinkling eyes. He had not expected that this marquis had such a state of mind and wisdom. He was not tempted by wealth, power and status at all, and could still have such ideas. It was really precious.

Seeing that Lin Mingwei really didn't hate him, Chu Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My Lord, let's just smile and forget our grudges. Would you mind having a few drinks with me?"

Lin Mingwei laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "Young Master, please don't call me Marquis. That's all in the past. The person standing in front of you now is just an ordinary old man. And you are very much to my liking, so just call me Old Lin."

Although Lin Mingwei said so, the other party had saved him three times, so he said: "I think I should call you Mr. Lin, after all, there is a generation gap between us."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mingwei nodded in agreement.

Now they were in the vast wilderness, so they could only find a clean and open place nearby. Everyone sat on the ground, and Chu Mo took out wine, meat and snacks from his storage bag.

Chu Mo took the wine jar and filled it for Lin Mingwei, saying, "Mr. Lin, this wine is called Hantu wine. It is brewed on the day of the beginning of winter in the twenty-four solar terms. The wine tastes bitter and cold at first, but becomes mellow and smooth after drinking it. It can inspire courage in one's heart and is most suitable for drinking on the battlefield. Come and taste it to see how it tastes."

After saying that, he took out another wine glass, filled it up and placed it in front of Lin Mingwei.

Lin Mingwei looked at the two glasses of wine in front of him and drank the first one in one gulp.

Lin Mingwei frowned, feeling as if there was an ice cube in his mouth, with a bitter taste rising on his tongue. The taste was not very good from the bottom of his heart.

Chu Mo looked at Lin Mingwei with full anticipation. This was also the first time he took out the Hantu wine, and he didn't know what it tasted like.

Lin Mingwei smacked his lips, then picked up the second cup and drank it all.

At the moment of swallowing, a rich aroma of wine surged on the taste buds, and the coldness and bitterness brought by the first cup disappeared. His body seemed to be ignited and warm all over. Lin Mingwei felt as if he was back on the battlefield again, and when he was fighting bloody enemies in the past, endless courage rose in his heart.

Lin Mingwei's eyes lit up and he was immersed in memories for a long time.

After a long while, Lin Mingwei laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, good wine, Hantu wine, lives up to its name, it is more to my taste than the Chang'an Zui in the imperial capital, good wine."

Chu Mo smiled and placed a jar of wine in front of Lin Mingwei, saying, "As long as Mr. Lin likes it, I'm glad you like it. This is enough wine for today. We won't leave until we are drunk."

Chu Mo also drank a glass with great anticipation, but the taste almost made him vomit, which made Lin Mingwei laugh.

It was not until the second cup that Chu Mo understood the peculiarity of this wine. At this moment, Chu Mo seemed to have turned into a chivalrous hero, expressing his courage and heroism.

There are three thousand souls of famous wine in the world,

Only this wine is the most intoxicating;

Dare to teach the scholar to draw the long sword,

Listen to the wind and rain and listen to the chanting.

Although Chu Mo was filled with lofty ambitions, the alcohol was also surging in his body, and a strong feeling of drunkenness rushed straight to his head.

Lin Mingwei looked at Chu Mo and said with some regret: "Boy, your alcohol tolerance is not good. You are drunk after just two glasses."

Chu Mo said quickly: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Elder Lin. I'm really not good at drinking, and this is my first time drinking Hantu wine. I almost made a fool of myself in front of Elder Lin. Please forgive me. I will let Jiye accompany you next time."

In this way, the group drank until dusk.

Lin Mingwei drank three jars of wine. Seeing that it was already sunset, he said goodbye to Chu Mo and left, looking a little drunk.

Despite Chu Mo's repeated requests to keep him, Lin Mingwei still left.
