What's wrong with being a salted fish?

Speaking of this, Lin Shangshu sighed again: "You don't know how panicked the official was when a strange man came to him and told him that he wanted to tell him Qingping's true identity."

He had just gone to court that day and passed by a snack shop to bring some snacks back to Lin Yuhe.

Because Miss Yang of the Yang family came to his house to accompany her these days, Lin Shangshu thought that girls must have something to eat when talking, so he went into the snack shop.

As a result, when he came out after buying snacks and was about to turn at the edge of the alley, he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Master Lin, please stay."

This voice sounded like a male voice, but it was a bit shrill. Lin Shangshu knew that he did not recognize him when he heard this voice, but he still turned around.

Sure enough, there was a stranger standing behind him.

The man was dressed in white clothes, without any patterns, very plain, and looked very much like he was attending a funeral, but he wore a red hair tie, which conflicted very much with the white clothes.

"you are?"

Lin Shangshu didn't understand what this man was looking for. When he spoke, he looked him up and down and found that one of his hands seemed to be wearing gloves. He took it back before he could see the man clearly. He only remembered that it seemed to be black. , but the other hand he extended was very white.

The man has delicate features and a slight smile on his face when talking to himself, making him look very friendly: "Mr. Lin, I came here specifically to save your life."

Lin Shangshu silently took a step back, thinking that this man's words were really weird: "What does this mean?"

The man bowed to him and introduced himself: "My name is Yuehua, and people call me Sai Banxian."

What is the fortune teller doing to me?

Lin Shangshu nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"As for me, I thought there was a monster lurking near Mr. Lin, so I came here specifically to save Mr. Lin and your relatives." Yuehua kept smiling on her face, and she felt like she had a chance to win, which made Lin Shangshu very happy. uncomfortable.

Hearing the word "monster", Lin Shangshu's heart skipped a beat. He felt that the noise around him had left him. The whole world had become silent, and all he could hear was the pounding of his heart.

What does he mean? Do...do you know Qingping's identity?

"I've never heard of any monsters. Don't talk nonsense here, or I'll call the city patrol." Lin Shangshu's tone was calm, but actually he was starting to panic in his heart.

Yuehua seemed to have seen through his heart and chuckled: "Don't be nervous, sir. I won't do anything to you. I just want to tell you that for your safety, I will take away the little demon."

Fart, what are you talking about just for me? Why are you so kind to help me when we are not related? And why take away Qingping? Qingping has never done anything bad at all, this person is simply alarmist.

Lin Shangshu raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and replied calmly: "I have lived for so long, and I have never seen any monsters at all. What's more, I don't know you, and you suddenly came out and told me that there are monsters around me. , could it be that you are the monster?"

The smile on Yuehua's face gradually disappeared. He did not expect that Lin Shangshu would act so indifferently when he heard that there was an unknown monster living beside him.

According to his imagination, even if Lin Shangshu didn't ask for his help, he would doubt the people around him, but he insisted that he was talking nonsense.

Could it be? Does he know who that demon is?

"Master Lin, do you know that your legitimate son is that demon?"

"Stop talking nonsense here! I think you are a charlatan! Here comes someone! Someone here wants to murder the imperial official!" Lin Shangshu suddenly shouted loudly, attracting the attention of nearby patrols.

The two of them were having a conversation at the alley. The sound was not loud at first, so the people passing by didn't pay much attention to them.

Now Lin Shangshu's shouts made all the passers-by look here, and the officers and soldiers patrolling the city came over with swords and guns.

Seeing his attitude, Yuehua knew in her heart that Lin Shangshu definitely knew Lin Zhuo's identity and even chose to help him hide it.

Yuehua gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Lin, why are you making such a fuss? You humans just like to make unnecessary troubles. Forget it, I will take away your little demon sooner or later!" After saying that, he flew up, He quickly fled the scene, causing some officers and soldiers to chase him.

"Master Lin, are you okay?" the leader of the city patrol asked him.

Lin Shangshu shook his head, said nothing, and walked home with a heavy look on his face while carrying the snacks.

He was thinking about what the man just said.

You humans? It seems that he is not a human, but most likely a demon.

It's really ridiculous that a demon dares to call himself a half-immortal.

But what was he looking for Qingping for? Are you going to take him away? Are they two of the same race?

......

Many problems troubled Lin Shangshu. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and he didn't know what to do.

If Qingping's compatriots want to take him away, then he really can't stop him. But the guy named Yuehua looked very strange, and his words did not match the words at the beginning and the end. He did not look like he knew Qingping.

At this time, he was glad that Lin Zhuo was not in the capital at this time, but went to the south to avoid a head-on conflict with this person.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhuo came back much earlier than in previous years, so when Lin Zhuo came back from an outing with his wife and heard Lin Zhuo coming back, he would rush to find him.

"Master Lin, don't worry. That guy is not a very powerful monster. Don't worry, I won't let Xiao Zhuo get hurt." Zhao Jingming assured Lin Shangshu that if the monster wants to hurt Lin Zhuo, he must first step on his body. .

"My lord, I'm just worried." No matter how you look at it, demons should be more powerful than humans, right? He was really afraid of Lin Zhuo getting hurt.

He watched Lin Zhuo grow from a small one to the gentle and elegant look he is now. Before he could fully enjoy his "human" life, he was obsessed with this inexplicable guy.

"It's really going to be okay, don't worry!"

Zhao Jingming gave him a hundred guarantees that if he died, the demon would die first, and Lin Zhuo would never lose a hair, so Lin Shangshu reluctantly believed him.

He could only hope that Zhao Jingming was not writing him a bad check.

"Then, I will go back first." Zhao Jingming stood up in a weird posture, which made Lin Shangshu very strange.

"Your Majesty, may I ask, what is in your arms?" He had just seen Zhao Jingming's chest bulging, and he didn't know what was stuffed in it.

"..." Zhao Jingming paused, feeling guilty and not daring to look at Lin Shangshu.

If he wants to say that he is Lin Shangshu's precious son, he won't be able to get in tomorrow, right? He doesn't want to climb over the wall anymore.

"My lord?"

Zhao Jingming's hesitant look made Lin Shangshu curious even more. He couldn't have brought something back from his house, could he? Is there anything in his little Lin Mansion that can compare to his Prince Jing's Mansion?

Zhao Jingming sighed and could only slightly pull open the skirt of his clothes and motioned to Lin Shangshu to look inside.

I hope Lin Shangshu will not kick him out of the house after reading this.

Although Lin Shangshu thought Zhao Jingming was a little strange, he still poked his head over curiously.

Then he saw a snow-white glutinous rice dumpling without a trace of hair curled up together and sleeping soundly, its body trembling slightly with the frequency of his breathing.

Oh, it turns out that the prince is carrying his son.

Ok? !

"Your Majesty!" Lin Shangshu shouted.

Why did you come to my house and take my son away!

Zhao Jingming felt even more guilty as he yelled at him. He was planning to secretly take Lin Zhuo away, but he didn't know that Lin Shangshu and the others knew Lin Zhuo's true identity, and it was really not safe to leave Lin Zhuo here as a fox.

Zhao Jingming was frantically trying to make amends for himself in his heart, but on the surface he still bowed his head slightly and accepted Lin Shangshu's storm.

After Lin Shangshu said enough, he sat on the stool and began to pant while holding on to the table. Zhao Jingming was kind enough to give him a cup of tea.

"Forget it." Lin Shangshu was fascinated as he watched Zhao Jingming refilling the tea for him. Lin Zhuo was really not suitable to stay in the Lin Mansion now. They couldn't protect him.

"Your Majesty, you have to treat him well. If one day you no longer love Qingping, I kindly ask you to send him back safely." Lin Shangshu felt incompetent about having to rely on others to protect Lin Zhuo's safety. I couldn't help but burst into tears.

"What my father-in-law said, such a day will not happen, don't worry!"

Just kidding, he has even thought about where they will be buried in the future. No one can separate them, don't even think about it!

"Then I will take Xiao Zhuo away today. Don't worry, father-in-law. I will come to hire you soon. I will never let Xiao Zhuo be wronged!" At most, his brother will be wronged.

Lin Shangshu looked at Zhao Jingming's leaving figure, always feeling as if he could fly in the next second.

He took a sip of tea silently.

So astringent.

......

"What did you say to me? Say it again?" Zhao Jinchao seriously doubted that he was still in the dream, otherwise why couldn't he understand what his brother was saying today.

"I said, I want to marry the son of the Lin family." Compared to Zhao Jinchao, Zhao Jingming was very calm. He said this while his hands were still turning over the memorial.

Gee, there is also a lot of nonsense today.

"Let me ask, the young master of the Lin family you are talking about is not the legitimate son of my Lin Aiqing, right?"

"That's right." Zhao Jingming nodded.

"Zhao Jingming! Are you crazy or am I crazy? You told me that you want to marry someone else's son? Can someone agree?!"

Zhao Jinchao wanted to pick up the memorial and slap it on Zhao Jingming's head. He was such a loyal lover, so you said you would marry someone else's son?

Although some people in Taikang prefer masculine styles, and there are even special cases of marrying male wives, this does not mean that the dignified prince Zhao Jingming can marry the legitimate son of his courtier!

"What, brother, do you think I'm not good enough for you?" Zhao Jingming turned his head slightly to avoid the books that Zhao Jinchao threw at him.

This guy asked me to work for him after he came here. He was very happy to read the book. Why is he so angry now?

"It's a joke, I think you are not worthy of me. Mr. Lin is a talented man and is a well-known noble man. You are a rough guy, and you still want to marry him. You are almost laughing in your dreams, okay?"

As expected of a biological brother, he would harm his younger brother without batting an eyelid.

Zhao Jingming was not annoyed and remained very calm: "Mr. Lin has already agreed and is just waiting for me to apply."

"No? Why do you think so?"

ah? After so many years, I didn't have anyone around me, so I suddenly told myself that I wanted to get married. The person I wanted to get married to was not only a man, but also the son of his courtier.

Zhao Jinchao felt that he was not going to die soon because he was so angry with his brother!

"Maybe Mr. Lin is satisfied with me like this." Zhao Jingming said and stamped his hand.

Um? Who is urging me to start a family? Mr. Song, no wonder he recommended his daughter, but it seems that someone reported him for corruption, so we should investigate thoroughly.

"Okay, isn't it a good thing that Xiao Jing is starting a family? Why aren't you happy?" The queen, who was watching the brothers bickering, began to persuade Zhao Jinchao.

Zhao Jinchao grabbed his wife's hand and pretended to cry: "Who would have thought that he would support Lin Qing's eldest son? What if I help him find a job and Lin Qing hates me? Oh my, my life is so miserable. !”

"Okay, okay, stop shouting. I already said that my father-in-law agreed." Zhao Jingming had a headache from his brother's quarrel. He was about to put down his burden and leave, when a furry head came out of his chest.

Lin Zhuo was feeling dizzy and didn't know where he was. He only knew that he was unhappy to be woken up and started to murmur when he opened his mouth.

As a result, Zhao Jinzhao watched it even more enthusiastically. He leaned against his wife and yelled at the top of his lungs: "Look, look, he brought a small animal to court, and he didn't even let me touch it!"

Before he could continue to cry, the queen couldn't bear it anymore. She covered Zhao Jinchao's mouth: "You have disturbed me. If you disturb me again, you will sleep in the side hall tonight."

These words were very lethal, Zhao Jinchao immediately stopped making trouble, and the room instantly became quiet.

Zhao Jingming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor's wife had something to do, otherwise his brother would have to quarrel with him for a long time.

"Brother, I'm leaving first. You can take care of the rest by yourself." Zhao Jingming hugged Lin Zhuo, who was still confused, and started to leave. Zhao Jinchao also wanted to follow.

He didn't want to read the notes written by those pedantic ministers, but the queen grabbed him and asked him to finish the work he should do. She also told Zhao Jingming that she would discuss the appointment with Zhao Jinchao.

Zhao Jingming couldn't help but sigh, his sister-in-law was more reliable, and he didn't know where his brother got his blessings, which made the queen feel a little embarrassed.

Zhao Jinchao: No one cares about me anymore, right?

......

"Where are we going?" Lin Zhuo wrapped himself around Zhao Jingming's neck.

"Go home." Zhao Jingming touched his head.

"I think it's better for you two not to go back yet? Let's have a chat, eh?"

The sudden appearance of human voices made Zhao Jingming stop in his tracks. He turned back and couldn't see the way he came. At some point, he was surrounded by white mist.

It was Yue Hua who came out of the depths of the mist, dressed in white. He had his hands behind his back, and black runes flowed down from his arms and sank into the ground, spreading around.

Although Yuehua looked human-like in his clothes, Lin Zhuo always felt that he looked a bit messy.

"You two seem to have a very good relationship. It's my fault. Last time, I thought you were master and servant, which offended you and made me unwilling to let me eat." Yuehua covered her mouth with her sleeve, her voice was high-pitched, but her eyes were bright. He stared at Zhao Jingming viciously.

"How could you be allowed to harm the world?" Zhao Jingming, the old god, was not afraid even though he was there. He just sent people to keep an eye on him. What's wrong?

"Hey, isn't this just for cultivation? How can an adult say it's so serious?" Yue Hua said as she suddenly turned her hands into claws and was about to dig out Zhao Jingming's heart, but was kicked by Lin Zhuo who suddenly transformed. Kicked to the chin and kicked away.

Lin Zhuo took back his feet and patted the hem of his clothes: "Should I call you tiger demon? Or should I call you scholar?"
