Zhancheng South

There was no one on the mountain that I wanted to see, and it was useless to stay in vain. They could rush back to Jinling before the Chinese New Year. The two of them planned to leave the old place with the old housekeeper and find a new place to settle down after this year. It's just ordinary people, and it's irrelevant!

He Yan and Han Jin stayed on the mountain for another half a month, packed up their luggage and mood, and then walked down the mountain. Han Jin felt that his sad emotions were really worn out by He Yan's terrible cooking skills, and he was really insane , It is really a strange person who can stir-fry green vegetables to taste Chinese medicine.

He Yan only tried once, and Han Jin took the power of cooking into his own hands. Although he is not very good at it, he has seen other people cook. The first time he tried it, he could still eat it. It’s good to be more proficient, He Yan I don't know why he has to compete, and he has to try every meal by himself. Sometimes Han Jin is afraid that he will poison himself to death, so he can only drag him down the mountain.

This road is going south from the northwest, and the two of them walked in a leisurely manner. Wherever they went, they heard local anecdotes and rumors. The story of the teahouse may be that the situation in Nanliang and Beili is getting better. In the direction of development, most of the scriptures say that Nanliang has a strong military force, is not afraid of foreign enemies, Nanliang is generous and benevolent, and educates the barbarians.

It is said that the establishment of academies does not stick to one style, and those with talents and skills can be admitted to study in the academies. There are even more exaggerated people who say that the aristocratic families are declining, and the humble sons of poor families can get ahead through the imperial examination. Woolen cloth!

In just half a year, it is really a great skill to spread this kind of news throughout the territory of Nanliang. He Yan and Han Jin were quite surprised when they first heard about it. cold.

If one day, a person from Beili passed the imperial examination and entered the court of Nanliang, he must already be a Han Chinese in the Central Plains.But I don't know if they will see it in their lifetime.

It seems that everything is moving in a good direction, but after the two of them returned to Jinling at the end of November, a familiar guest came. Lin Shu, who was supposed to guard the border, came to ask for an interview. When the greeting card was sent, he just said Han Jin and him can be considered to be friends from the same family, and the visit is just sad and nostalgic, and has no other intentions.

The old butler said: "There is no way to refuse, people come to nostalgia, we must not refuse!"

He Yan looked at the beauty in his hand and said, "He misses you?"

The old butler was relieved, this was considered jealous.

Han Jin replied: "Who knows! Maybe I came to see you because I knew you were alive?"

Kazuhiko nodded similarly, "Well, it's not impossible, after all, my 'death' was a bit sloppy."

Han Jin sneered, "Heh. How else do you want to 'die'? Behead for public display?"

The old butler saw that his young master was still going further and further on the road of death as before, and it was really impossible to save him.

Seeing Han Jin's tone, He Yan coughed lightly, and said to the housekeeper, "Go back to General Lin, he can come to remember anyone he wants, just come."

The old housekeeper looked into the eyes of his young master, and hurriedly backed away.

Han Jin asked: "If Uncle Li is the only one in the family, how could he seriously send invitations to the door?"

He Yan: "Maybe he just cultivated himself well?"

Han Jin rolled his eyes, "He Yan, you should be more serious, Lin Shu is not stupid, he must know that you are not dead."

He Yan looked innocent, "I know! Didn't I say it, the way of death is so hasty, you can guess it." Seeing that Han Jin was a little angry, He Yan hurriedly comforted him, "Okay, I know what you want to say, it's nothing more than It's Lin Zhuzhi's death, I'm afraid he will blame me! It doesn't matter, with you here, can he kill me on the spot?"

Han Jin didn't want to talk to him, got up and was about to leave, He Yan shouted: "Hey, hey, don't come to my room tonight after you're gone!"

The old butler heard it all the way, and couldn't help but sigh, such a tiger-wolf talk, the world is really going downhill!

But Han Jin still turned a corner and went back.

When Lin Shu came to the door, the servant didn't bring any of them, only the saber. The old housekeeper led him to the flower hall, and after serving tea, he was about to leave. Lin Shu said, "I heard that the housekeeper has another nephew staying at the house , why haven't you seen it?"

"General Lin is a distinguished guest. My nephew is rough, and I was afraid to disturb the general's anxiety, so I let him stay in the room and did not dare to come out."

"Then my trip today was a waste of time."

The nephew of the butler entered the hall wearing a mask and said: "You didn't run in vain, you didn't run in vain, this is not here." After finishing speaking, he said to the old housekeeper: "Uncle, let the nephew entertain the distinguished guests on behalf of the master's family!"

The old housekeeper said "be careful" and left.

After He Yan went in, he found a place to sit down, and took off the mask, which made Lin Shu puzzled, "Why don't you wear it, it's good to keep some mystery."

He Yan was speechless, "Isn't the sense of mystery long gone? It's just a mask, it can block strangers, but not acquaintances."

Lin Shu asked, "Where's your daughter-in-law? Didn't you mean to bring back a beautiful little lady? Why don't you see her?"

He Yan: "...Everyone knows this well, so there is no need to tear it apart."

"I don't know why I know it well, and if you really bring back a little lady, Han Jin is afraid that he will die in peace."

The little lady arrived as soon as she said it, and the daughter's clothes were taken off, and she was vaguely a young man in Tsing Yi.

Han Jin also listened to Cai Cai's words. He felt that the friendship in the past was not so deep. Why did everyone seem to know it, and he said it as if they knew everything.

He probably hasn't realized the power of the folk tales, the lingering life and death, and the deep affection and righteousness. If you want to use this as a guide, someone who is interested will always be able to see something.

Lin Shu is not such a caring person, he probably only considered Han Jin as his half-brother in the same school, but after his father passed away, he gradually remembered those forgotten past events.

His parents had the grace to save Han Jin's life, but at the beginning they planned to take advantage of each other. If they wanted to save each other, how could a child be bullied to the point of pain all over his body.

Seeing Lin Shu's unbearable expression, Han Jin knew that he remembered it. To live for him was to die for him, but he really didn't do it. It doesn't matter if he said he was ungrateful. It is true that Shu's identity was leaked, which indirectly harmed Lin Zhu, but this was indeed his intention.

Lin Shu said, "You... I remember who you are."

Han Jin: "Oh."

He Yan: "..." Will you die if you say a few more words?

Lin Shu didn't care about this, and continued: "My parents picked you up from the rebellion. You were too young at that time, but this is also a life-saving grace."

Han Jin nodded to express his agreement, and heard Lin Shu continue to say: "It is their fault for governing the army that they allow the soldiers to bully and beat you as a child."

Han Jin smiled when he heard this, and he couldn't get over the fault of running the army. He is clearly the son of a barbarian woman. If he hadn't had some usefulness, he could have been treated as a beast. But now Han Jin doesn't want to argue with Lin Shu about these things. Let him go on.

"They originally wanted you to die for me when the Han family was exterminated."

After hearing this, He Yan suddenly shifted his eyes to Han Jin, with deep pity, when he heard the master talking about it, he probably knew how much pain Ah Jin had suffered back then, but when he heard it again, he still couldn't bear it. Live distressed.

Feeling He Yan's expression, Han Jin said, "It's nothing. I'm still doing well. It was a blessing in my life to meet Dad at that time."

"Your parents gave me the token to let everyone in the world believe in my identity, but they were also afraid that I would do whatever I wanted with the token and tarnish the reputation of your Han family, so I gave it to someone who can confuse the real with the fake. Right? But how could such a thing be hidden from my father and master?"

Lin Shu nodded, "But your father and master didn't tell this matter either."

Han Jin replied: "That's because they know that they can't do anything about this kind of thing. The grievances are not clear, and I can only solve them myself."

"So they still left you behind." Lin Shu nodded half mockingly.

He Yan was not happy when he heard this, his sweetheart had just lost a close relative, and someone who had no eyesight came to the door and said, "Let him go again." He knew that Lin Shu was talking about throwing Ah Jin in the snow all those years ago. Son, but such a tone can easily remind Ah Jin of the matter of Master and Father going to the underworld together!

Sure enough, Han Jin's eyes were red even though he knew what it meant, and He Yan hurriedly changed the subject, "Is that why you came today to talk about this?"

Lin Shu replied: "That's right, I'm here to break things up so that we can clearly distinguish between grievances and grievances."

Han Jin said coldly: "Isn't this the end? Are there any grievances that have not been clearly distinguished?"

Lin Shu said: "You are alive, my father is dead, who should be blamed for this?"

Han Jin replied: "Lin Zhuzhi's death, you should ask Prime Minister Qi, your father killed Jiang Yi back then, and didn't you allow others to take revenge?"

Lin Shu was silent for a while and said, "If you hadn't revealed my identity, I..."

He was interrupted by Han Jin before he finished speaking: "Lin Shu, ask yourself, even if I didn't reveal your identity, Lin Zhu will really be safe and sound after instigating the war, and wait for you, the last person of the Han family, to raise his hand." The banner, guarding the country, revitalizing the clan?"

Lin Shu was silent, he knew he wouldn't, even if everything went as his father imagined, the aristocratic family would not allow it, but he really didn't know who to blame for Lin Zhu's death, and heard Han Jin go on to say : "Anyway, your parents did save my life. You say I'm ungrateful, but I did reveal your identity to Prime Minister Qi, but I don't regret it. His life and He Yan's notoriety, your father should bear a part of it."

Lin Shu knew that what Han Jin said was reasonable, but sometimes this person just couldn't listen to reason, but now he really can't do anything. Lin Shu guards the northern border, suppresses Beili with force, and protects the peace of Nanliang. A person who can't cause chaos in the world and provoke wars, his only usefulness is to defend the country and borders.

Lin Shu has the talent for deploying troops, and his strategic skills are naturally not too bad. It's not that he doesn't understand some truths, but if he understands it, he may not be able to accept that the reason for the departure of his dearest relatives in the world is just this.

When he came out from Hefu, he hurried back to Northern Xinjiang after resting at home for a few days. Although Beili signed an alliance with Nanliang, the defense at the border still cannot be sloppy. His Highness Shaoyang is in charge of the seal. Beijing debriefing, no one in the army can do it. I went back to Jinling, thinking I could have an explanation, but I still couldn’t explain it clearly. If that’s the case, then he will put this matter aside for the time being.

Speaking of which, he still envied Han Jin very much. He was alone in the world and accompanied by his parents.
