"What?" Lin Wanrong jumped up suddenly, put away the scroll in his hand, and shouted: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, Xian'er is my wife, not a brother or sister."
"Impossible? In this world, nothing is impossible." The old emperor's expression turned cold, and he said darkly: "The status of a fairy may be tempting to ordinary people, but to you, it is a big challenge." Obstacles. Those who achieve great things do not care about small details, you must learn to let go before you can achieve positive results."
"Zhengguo? What is Zhengguo? Old man, you have practiced all your life, and this is the Zhengguo you want?" Lin Wanrong smiled instead of anger, and clenched his fists tightly. Just now, he was still thinking about treating Xian'er well, but in the blink of an eye, her father gave him such a slap in the face, how could he not be depressed.
"I've said it all. It's up to you to choose whether it's good or bad. Don't say I didn't give you a chance." The old emperor smiled darkly, with a cold light in his eyes. Compared with the kind and kind look just now, it seemed completely different. of two people.
Lin Wanrong's back burst into cold sweat, and he took two steps back unconsciously, gritted his teeth and said, "Old man, is it because I don't agree that I can't get out of this room?"
"Lin San, I don't deny that you are a talent. But the royal family knows about the royal affairs. I told you this, do you think it's telling a story? Since the untold secret has been passed on to you, either, you promise me What to say, or—" The old emperor closed his eyes slightly, and stopped talking, with a strong murderous intent on his face.
Think about what the old emperor said today, every sentence and every word contains deep meaning, and they are all secrets that no third party is allowed to know. It seems that this time it is not a joke, it is really about to lose his head. The room was extremely quiet for a while. The hourglass flowed down slowly, and the old emperor closed his eyes in silence, as if he had fallen asleep.
Lin Wanrong stood there in a daze, never expecting things to turn out to this point. Think of Xian'er's weak and helpless, heartbroken appearance. His heart was stirred like a knife, and his breathing gradually became short of breath.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and the old emperor didn't say a word, as if he had hibernated. There was a deathly silence in the room, and Lin Wanrong could only hear his own heavy breathing, which was heavy.
Xian'er, what should I do? He clenched his hands tightly, silently, his mind was running fast, after thinking for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out of the room.
The old emperor didn't stop him, one step, two steps, three steps, Lin Wanrong meditated in his heart, every step forward was heavy. The moment his hand touched the door bolt, the old emperor's weak voice sounded behind him: "Have you thought it through? Do you know what your next step is?"
Lin Wanrong put his hand on the door, stopped, and said without turning his head: "Your Majesty, I think clearly. No matter what the next step is, even if I lose my life, I will live happily. But you, the Emperor, although you are expensive You are the supreme, majestic and dignified in the world, but you have been muddleheaded all your life, and you have never been happy, it is really worthless."
"Are you teaching me a lesson?" The old emperor opened his eyes suddenly, and a ray of light shot out, passing through his chest like a substance.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "When it comes to tenacity and national affairs, of course you are the old man who will teach me, but it is not wrong for me to teach the old man how to live a happy life. Your Majesty, all your life, You are all spent in calculating and being calculated. Although you have enjoyed all the glory and wealth, you are always lonely and lonely. Even if you have a daughter by your side, no one can talk to you. Your Majesty, you defeated King Cheng, you You succeeded, but you lost to yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the door latch without hesitation and stepped out, only to see that the courtyard was full of soldiers from the Shenji camp, hundreds of bows and arrows were aimed at him, and if he moved a little, he would be shot into a hedgehog.
Lin Wanrong had no choice but to smile wryly. For the sake of buying and selling by force, it really killed people. He stood at the door and didn't dare to move at all, but there was no sound in the room, and he didn't know what the person inside was thinking.
There was an unbearable silence, the two of them didn't speak, it was like a pool of stagnant water, unable to stir up any waves. I don't know how long it took, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but turn around, but saw the old emperor's face sinking into the water, staring at him firmly, the expression in his eyes changed, sometimes furious, sometimes calm, it was shocking. [Paradise Kiss Hand Slap]
"You go." The old emperor finally spoke, but there was indescribable sadness and desolation in his tone.
Looking at the instantly aged emperor, Lin Wanrong hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: "Old man, are you serious?"
The old emperor waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly, Lin Wanrong was overjoyed, and was about to walk away, his eyes swept the old emperor's old cheeks, but he was a little inexplicably disappointed. If he really left, what would the old emperor do? Dahua was about to go to war with the Turks, Dongying wanted to capture Koryo, and King Cheng wanted to control the military power, but the old emperor was assassinated at this time. If he couldn't hold on, it would really be over.
The incomparably firm determination just now was suddenly shaken. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
"Why don't you leave?!" The old emperor said angrily, "Do you really think I dare not kill you? Come on—"
Lin Wanrong hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Don't panic, don't panic, old man, I didn't mean that. I just want to ask, is there any other way, it's best to have the best of both worlds?"
"The best of both worlds?" The emperor glanced at him, was silent for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "You think it's beautiful, but can you have all the beautiful things in this world?"
Seeing him laughing, Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh, not to be afraid, at least his life was saved. He smiled shyly with his old face: "Old man, you see, Xian'er and I have that kind of relationship. We are all a family. As the saying goes, if the richness does not flow to outsiders, it should be kept for your son-in-law if it is good? How about it?" , old man, think about it, think of a way to get the best of both worlds, don't embarrass you, and don't embarrass me—"
"Come on, blow Lord Lin out." The old emperor said angrily, and dozens of guards rushed up, holding Lin Wanrong and pulling him out.
The old emperor sighed softly, just in time for Lin Wanrong to hear: "Concubine Qin is buried in the back mountain of Xiangguo Temple, where Xian'er is married. Treat her well when you find her, and don't make her sad. "
When Lin Wanrong disappeared without a trace, the old emperor contemplated for a while, and then struggled lightly to sit up. A figure hurried out from the back room and helped him to sit up. The emperor sighed and said, "Xiao Weizi, this Lin San is quite stubborn."
The blind old man hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said in panic, "Master, it's the slave who is incompetent and has let you down."
The old emperor shook his head and said: "I am not disappointed, on the contrary, it is more of a surprise."
Old man Wei was puzzled and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
"Xiao Weizi, you have been with me for many years, tell me, what is the most important thing to look at when selecting candidates?" the emperor said in a deep voice.
"Toughness and loyalty!" Old man Wei replied without hesitation.
"You're right. This Lin San is cunning and cunning on the surface, but when he really faces the temptation, he can stick to the bottom line and not be moved by external things. This is very rare, and it is much better than those who are swayed by the wind. He will not abandon Xian'er today, and naturally he will not abandon me in the future. With this, I am even more assured of him." The emperor nodded and said.
"However, he doesn't seem to be very interested in these things." Old Man Wei glanced at his master and said cautiously.
The emperor chuckled, but it caused a violent cough, and old man Wei hastily beat his vest lightly. The emperor coughed a little, and then continued: "It's not that he's not interested—no one in the world can refuse this kind of temptation, he's just dissatisfied with the way I've adopted. If there is no Xian'er, today's event would be another story." It's a result."
"But the princess has a deep affection for Lin Wanrong. It is impossible for the two of them to be separated. If they are separated abruptly, it may backfire." Old man Wei said with a frown.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, good things will take a long time." The emperor coughed again, and sighed slowly: "Unfortunately, it's only five months, God only gives me five months..."
*******************
After leaving the back gate of Xiangguo Temple, Lin Wanrong's clothes were completely soaked, and he had exhausted all his energy just after talking with the old emperor. He lightly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, pondered over what the old emperor had said, and felt that the insidious excitement in it was the most heart-pounding time he had ever experienced in his life, and he almost reached the sky in one step. This feeling, think about it It's exciting.
After resting at the back door for a while, I walked up the mountain along the path. He had been to the back mountain of Xiangguo Temple once, last time Sister An pretended to be mysterious and invited him to meet him in Tianchi, all kinds of experiences appeared in front of his eyes, as if it happened yesterday.
Since Xian'er was guarding the tomb in a hut, he naturally wouldn't be on the top of the mountain. The mountain range behind Xiangguo Temple is vast. He searched for a long time, but he didn't see a hut, so he had to keep going.
Going farther and farther, more and more remote, climbed a big rock, looked back at Xiangguo Temple, but saw that it was more than ten miles away from Xiangguo Temple, and the flower terrace and buildings could only be seen vaguely. While he was wondering, he heard a whisper of twittering, coming from the valley below.
