Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Listening to Lin Jing's questioning words, Wen Baicao could not help but remain silent. After a moment, he said, "Da Jing should have died a long time ago."

When Lin Jing heard this, his heart rose to his throat, but when he thought about the current situation, he smiled again and then took a step back.

Wen Baicao saw his movements, raised her eyebrows slightly, then took a step forward and made a gesture of invitation to him, "I have a teahouse on West Street, and there happens to be new tea today. Come with me for a cup."

Without waiting for Lin Jing to answer, Wen Baicao withdrew his hand and walked forward with big strides.

When Lin Jing saw his actions, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and then he followed him with a gloomy face.

When he arrived at the teahouse and looked at the deserted room, Lin Jing's emotions became more and more complicated, but he said nothing. He just sat aside and waited silently.

Wen Baicao looked at him deliberately and saw that his face was very calm, as if no matter what she did or said, he would not take it to heart.

After rubbing his hands gently for a while, Wen Baicao went to make a pot of tea and poured a cup for Lin Jing.

"I haven't seen you for decades, and I suddenly meet you in Yongzhou City. I think there is a lot of fate between us. Lin Jing, Dajing is already in name only, and the princes are trying their best to fight for the world."

"You were once someone the old emperor trusted, and you are also his cousin. Among these princes, do you have a crush on anyone?"

Wen Baicao picked up the teacup and took a sip, then stared at Lin Jing with burning eyes.

But he frowned slightly, as if thinking about something. Wen Baicao's expression remained unchanged, and he just sipped his tea.

After he finished his cup of tea, Lin Jing seemed to remember that he was still beside him and looked up at him deliberately.

Seeing that he looked calm and didn't seem to mind his cold treatment, Lin Jing couldn't help but sigh that Wen Baicao was very different from the person he remembered.

Fifty years ago, Wen Baicao was only a teenager, but he dared to rely on the power of Prince Mingde to teach other princes a lesson.

When something happened to Prince Mingde, he himself was implicated and his family was even exiled. If he was still as unruly as before, how could he become a businessman and hide it from Princess Anqing and Tu Yuanzhou?

"I don't care about anyone. After all, I'm old and I should enjoy my retirement."

"You are younger than me, but decades later, you also have one foot in the coffin."

"How could you still have the leisure to cause so much trouble when you were about to die? Could it be that you are not satisfied with the emperor's death and you have to destroy the whole world to be happy?"

There was a hint of temptation in Lin Jing's words, but there was a hint of nostalgia in the look he gave Wen Baicao.

Lin Jing felt very uncomfortable to see such a situation when meeting an old friend.

He couldn't help but think of Ye Xuan, who had always been by the emperor's side, and whose days were peaceful and tranquil.

But as the emperor grew older, he became more suspicious, and he had to be on his guard at all times.

Now that the emperor is dead, Ye Xuan is truly relieved and decides to take the Ye family to live out their retirement in Bashu.

As for the extra things, he only planned to help the prince unify Bashu and did not plan for anything else.

Lin Jing was younger than him and unconsciously had the same ideas as him, but the Lin family had previously had conflicts with the prince, and he didn't want the prince to ignore the Lin family, so he decided to do something else.

"Enjoy your old age? I don't think so." Wen Baicao couldn't help laughing out loud as if he had heard a joke.

Lin Jing sighed: "My descendants are not doing well. I still have to work harder as long as my old bones can move."

Wen Baicao's face changed slightly when he heard this: "I have no descendants, only hatred supports me."

"I don't believe it." Lin Jing raised his voice deliberately.

After that, he stared at Wen Baicao and said solemnly: "A businessman who started from scratch would not be able to thrive among the rebels if he did not have the support of his family."

Wen Baicao's face suddenly turned cold, and his voice was unusually sharp: "Are you doubting my words, or are you questioning my character?"

Lin Jing remained calm: "Didn't you say before that you lost your memory? I remember that you were very handsome when you were young. You lost your memory and were rescued. I'm afraid you got into trouble with someone."

"Besides, you and I both know the situation in the Western Regions. If you didn't have the help of your wife's family, how could you have found Princess An Qing and then used her to establish a relationship with Tu Yuanzhou?"

Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Lin Jing's eyes became a little cloudy, as if his heart was blocked by some sad things and he could no longer think of talking about anything else.

However, when he thought of everything Wen Baicao had done over the years, he had to cheer up.

"How can a barbarian be worthy of being my wife?" Lin Jing's tone was too certain. Wen Baicao didn't want to pay attention to him. He just wanted to find out why he appeared in Yongzhou City at this time. However, when he thought of his so-called wife, he felt a sense of aggrieved in his heart.

"Your wife is a Wulan woman." Lin Jing suddenly realized, "No wonder you were able to contact Princess An Qing. But from what you said, I can imagine that you did not reveal your identity in front of Princess An Qing at that time."

"After all, Princess An Qing is the emperor's most beloved sister. After she married into Wulan, she also had her own army. Although that army did not obey her orders, it was also a deterrent and enough to make you hate her."

From the tone of the last few words, Lin Jing guessed without asking how Wen Baicao treated his wife after he recovered his memory.

As for the children that woman gave birth to for him, given his proud nature, although he tried his best to give them a good life, he did not approve of them from the bottom of his heart. No wonder he said that he had no children.

Lin Jing would not comment on this matter, but he became increasingly clear about one thing in his mind, that is, Wen Baicao's mind had long been twisted, which was why he couldn't wait to destroy Dajing.

Now that things have gone as he wished, he has come to Yongzhou City again. Perhaps he wants to get rid of a few princes to vent his hatred.

"Actually, I agree with what you are going to do, but I don't think you will believe me." Lin Jing said this while his thoughts were turning.

Wen Baicao immediately held the teacup in her hand, and said in a gentle tone: "It seems that you are planning to support a prince."

Lin Jing drank the tea in one gulp, then said with a smile: "What I did is what you hate the most. If that's the case, why did you say it so clearly? Are you trying to stop me?"

Lin Jing bent his hand and knocked on the table. His face became very cold, but his tone was gentle: "Wen Baicao, you shouldn't stop me. After all, what I do is in your interest. You should do your best to support me. Otherwise, some things will not be fun."

Hearing what he meant, Wen Baicao was silent for a while and suddenly said, "I saw Chen Changli in Zaoyang County before, and then told Tu Zhizhi and the Ninth Prince his whereabouts."

Lin Jing's face changed when he heard this, and then he said calmly: "What do you want?"
