Wei Lin followed Wei Yuanting all the time, but he didn't say a word, quietly as if he didn't exist.
Wei Yuanting glanced at him quietly from time to time, and Wei Lin stared straight ahead, as if he was full of thoughts.
Wei Lin originally thought that Wei Yuanting should go directly to Jiangling, but after a few days of walking, Wei Lin discovered that their route was not going to Jiangling. Jiangling itself borders Qianyu, but they still head south to Yanling Mountain, the same route they took when they came to the border a few years ago. From this, it can be inferred that Wei Yuanting probably wanted to bring him back to the capital directly.
In fact, it was something that could be answered by just asking Wei Yuanting, but Wei Lin really didn't want to say a word to him.
The group of them walked fast, and within ten days, as Wei Lin expected, they had already reached the vicinity of Xiangcheng.
This afternoon, against the scorching sun, Wei Lin saw the north gate of Xiangcheng from afar. Their speed also slowed down, and they could see the civilians entering and exiting the city gate beside them, and when they saw this group of people give way, they only dared to pass on both sides of the road, and gave all of them to Wei Yuanting and others.
Although Wei Yuanting was not wearing armor, he was only wearing fancy clothes. When he entered the city gate, the gate guard recognized Wei Yuanting and bowed to give way. Wei Yuanting didn't even say a word from the beginning to the end, he just snorted lightly with his nose as a greeting.
Entering the city, Wei Yuanting spoke to Wei Lin for the first time on the way. He didn't look back, and said in a deep voice, "Recently, you've been living with me in Wangcheng, so it's best not to think about escaping."
"Yeah." Wei Lin replied calmly, his eyes swept over the pedestrians and traders in the city.
Wei Yuanting went on to say: "Tonight is the birthday of Zuo Xiangxu, you go with me to celebrate the birthday."
"Huh?" Wei Lin raised his voice and expressed doubts.
Wei Yuanting was of course dissatisfied with his attitude, but there were many guards around him, and he was outside, and it was not easy for a while, so he could only ask coldly, "What do you mean?"
Being asked this by Wei Yuanting, Wei Lin could of course hear his dissatisfaction, so he could only be patient, soften his tone deliberately, and explained, "I mean, this kind of situation should... Wei Tianqi go."
"Tianqi will naturally go too." Wei Yuanting said, looking back at Wei Lin.
Wei Lin was still looking straight ahead, but when he saw Wei Yuanting looking back, he immediately lowered his head like a thief with a guilty conscience and didn't answer. As soon as Wei Yuanting turned around, he saw him with his head down, with a sluggish look.
"Oh." Wei Lin knew that it would be useless to refute any more, so he could only agree casually.
What Wei Lin didn't know was that Wei Yuanting had already owned a mansion in the king, just south of the city. At the beginning of this year, Wei Yuanting's affairs in Jiangling were all handed over to his capable lieutenants, and one-third of the soldiers were dispatched to be stationed in the east of Jiangling. To the east of Jiangling is Xiangcheng, but there is a series of mountains in the middle. It is not high, but it completely separates Jiangling and Xiangcheng. Wei Yuanting's men were stationed at the foot of the mountain. Shangzhou was originally an area under the jurisdiction of Wei Yuanting, and with the cover of this string of mountains, these garrisoned troops could be described as unknowing.
After this sentence was finished, the two of them said nothing. Wei Lin continued to stare blankly at the side of the road, letting the horse under him lead him slowly forward. He looked at the street scene on the side of the road, a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.
It was in the middle of the two houses, and there was a path that could not be passed by one person.
For a moment, time seemed to be stretched to infinity. Wei Lin rode his horse past here, and a memory finally emerged in his mind - he was sitting in the snow against the wall in ragged clothes, and suddenly raised his head, in front of him was a man in a white fox fur. Pleasant son.
It was a wonderful feeling, as if the soul had been drawn out of the body. It was clear that he saw Jiang also passing by here, but now he recalls it as if someone else had witnessed the encounter... He saw his dirty face, and when he saw Jiang Ye glanced slightly at him, he was a little surprised. Disgusting profile.
That's where they met.
Wei Lin was shaken by the thought of these things, and when he came back to his senses, he was already at the front door of a family, and the plaque on the front door read "Wei Mansion".
When the family members of the Wei family saw that Wei Yuanting was back, someone immediately came up to lead the horse. Wei Lin stumbled and followed Wei Yuanting to get off the horse, and just followed behind him and entered the gate of Wei's house.
When the family saw Wei Lin, they all looked like they didn't know what to do. After all, the people who are with Wei Yuanting like this are definitely not idle people and so on. In addition, Wei Lin and Wei Yuanting have very similar faces. Although the family members have not received Wei Yuanting's instructions, they also understand 80 to 90% in their hearts.
Wei Lin was walking behind Wei Yuanting on the right, and a man in his early thirties came up to report to Wei Yuanting the current situation in the house.
Wei Lin guessed that it should be the housekeeper. Just after the man reported the affairs of the mansion, he looked at Wei Yuanting and glanced at Wei Lin with a small movement: "This is..."
Wei Yuanting said without any emotion: "This is the second young master. Butler He, you should arrange the second young master's residence first and take the second young master to rest."
"Yes." Butler He was obviously well-trained, so he didn't show any surprise to "Where did the second young master come from", he just nodded, then walked over to Wei Lin and said, "The second young master come with me. ."
"Oh, good." Wei Lin quickly agreed and followed Butler He.
Even if he stayed in the Wei mansion, as long as he could be in a different room from Wei Yuanting, he felt very good.
The decoration of the Wei mansion was far from the mansion of Xue Changfeng that Wei Lin had seen before, but it was very similar to the residence he remembered when he was in Jiangling. Wei Lin followed behind Steward He and watched, for fear that Steward He would ask anything about his relationship with Wei Yuanting. However, the housekeeper was really good at doing things, and he didn't say anything along the way.
Butler He took Wei Lin to the side courtyard. The side courtyard is the residence of the eldest young master, and there are still a few vacant rooms. Since it is the second young master, it is always right to arrange it in the side courtyard. Butler He planned so, but he didn't want him and Wei Lin to see Wei who came home drunk from the back door before he and Wei Lin got to the vacant room.
Tianqi.
Wei Lin didn't notice anyone. He was walking and watching a few koi swimming in the pond built in the backyard. Butler He, who was leading the way, suddenly said, "Young master, who are you?"
Wei Lin raised his head and saw Butler He hurried up to meet him, and in front of him stood Wei Tianqi, who was already swaying from side to side.
Butler He stepped forward to support Wei Tianqi, Wei Tianqi seemed to be holding on to a life-saving straw, and he hung on Butler He and said, "He, Butler He..."
"Master, you didn't come just now." Butler He asked with a frown, helping him step by step toward his house.
Wei Tianqi said nonchalantly, "Ha, the new Shen Yue from Yanluo Pavilion, Steward He, haha, you should try it if you have time..."
Hearing what he said, Butler He could only deal with it with a haha. He didn't forget to turn around and say to Wei Lin, who was standing still, "Second Young Master, please wait here for a while." After speaking, Butler He planned to send Wei Tianqi back first.
Wei Lin nodded dumbly, and suddenly turned around as if he had noticed something, staring at the koi in the pond.
But Wei Tianqi was obviously not so drunk that he was unconscious. He heard what Butler He said, but he didn't understand the gist of it, but he heard the point - the second young master.
Wei Tianqi immediately twisted his face, and asked Steward He, "What is the second young master? What is the second young master? There is only one young master in the Wei residence, where did the second young master come from!"
Wei Tianqi's sudden excitement made Butler He a little dazed. He didn't say a word. Wei Tianqi shook off his hand and staggered towards the direction he greeted, that is, Wei Lin's back.
Wei Lin irritably prayed that Wei Tianqi would be so drunk that he could not walk, and then lie down and be carried into the house to sleep, so as not to trouble him.
But it often happens that people's wishes don't come true. Wei Tianqi just walked behind Wei Lin, patted Wei Lin's shoulder vigorously, and said, "Where did you come from, Second Young Master? Did my father pick up the son of a bitch? Turn around and I'll take a look. ?"
Wei Lin sighed, turned to look at Wei Tianqi, calmed down, then raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "Wei Tianqi, long time no see."
Butler He was still behind Wei Tianqi, for fear that Wei Tianqi would fall into the pond because he could not walk steadily. Coincidentally, he also saw Wei Lin greet Wei Tianqi. The second young master said with such a smile, it was exactly the same as the general's appearance, and the smile was also the same, with a bit of malice.
Wei Tianqi looked at the face in front of him, sobered up a bit, and subconsciously reached out to grab Wei Lin's shoulder, and shouted in disbelief, "Why are you here? Why aren't you dead yet?!"
Wei Lin just raised his head lightly, blocking Wei Tianqi's hand and said, "Why, haven't you heard about Fu Da Ming Da Ming Da?"
"You wild bastard! How are you still alive! Are you still coming to my house?!" Wei Tianqi's eyes were fierce, and he even wanted to beat Wei Lin.
Butler He looked at the situation in front of him from behind and was at a loss.
He didn't know that there was a second young master in the Wei family. Everyone in the world thought that General Wei had only one son, Wei Tianqi. When the general came back this time, a second young master suddenly appeared. He was still a little puzzled. Looking at Wei Tianqi's attitude now, it is obvious that Wei Tianqi definitely recognizes this second young master.
I saw Wei Tianqi raised his fist and went straight to Wei Lin's face.
Wei Lin was not in a hurry, and when the fist was only a few inches from the bridge of his nose, he reached out and grabbed Wei Tianqi's wrist.
To say whether Wei Tianqi can beat Wei Lin, then the two of them really haven't played against each other. But Wei Tianqi drink this kind of virtue, let alone Wei Lin, I am afraid that at this time Jiang Ye can easily overthrow Wei Tianqi.
Moreover, among the disciples of this group of generals, Wei Tianqi was also notoriously ignorant and ignorant, a scum who was drinking and having fun all day long.
Wei Tianqi only felt that his wrist was being held tightly. He tried so hard to pull his hand back, but he didn't know whether it was because the other party was too strong, or because he was too weak after drinking, so he couldn't pull it back no matter what.
Wei Lin's face did not change, the smile on his face did not decrease by half, but instead became more intense: "Seeing is better than seeing, after all, it is Young Master Wei, a well-deserved wine bag and rice bag."
Wei Tianqi was so humiliated that he couldn't draw out his hand, so he raised his other hand and wanted to punch Wei Lin.
Wei Lin didn't grab his wrist again this time, but raised his hand to block Wei Tianqi's attack directly with his forearm. His big eyes narrowed suddenly, looking very dangerous, and he said to Wei Tianqi, "You thought it was ten years ago?"
Wei Tianqi was so angry that he was speechless.
Wei Lin continued, "I'm annoying, don't provoke me."
Butler He wanted to go up and try to persuade him, but he couldn't do anything. He heard Wei Lin's threat, and as soon as he finished speaking, Wei Tianqi fell into the pond for some reason.
This pond was originally used to raise some koi and lotus flowers, but it was not dug deeply. Wei Tianqi fell and struggled a few times in it. He was soaked all over, stood up several times, and fell again, turning up a lot of silt at the bottom of the pond. , all covered in wet mud.
A few servants who were working around heard a thumping sound of falling into the water. As soon as they looked up, they heard Butler He shouting anxiously: "Come here quickly and save the eldest young master!"
The people hurried into the water to help Wei Tianqi.
Wei Tianqi also woke up completely. He sat in the pond and stared viciously at Wei Lin, who was sneering at him. He opened his mouth and said, "Wild, I want to see how lucky you are."
Wei Lin went back to the ruffian who was so angry that he didn't pay for his life: "Young Master Wei, come as you please, don't kill yourself." After speaking, he said to Guanjia He, "I'm tired, what do you mean? I'll go and rest by myself."
Butler He was confused by such a tease, so he raised his finger and pointed: "The second wing over there, the villain will arrange for someone to serve in a while."
Wei Lin didn't answer and walked straight in the direction he pointed.
