My friends are all over the world

The sky was gloomy, Lin Xin leaned on a bamboo stick, and slowly came down from the Wu Guocheng tower.

Gu Yuan supported him and reminded him that there were still a few steps under his feet.

Lin Xin clenched the bamboo stick in his hand, and sighed: "Am I taking too much care?"

He has seen Xu Ke in his teens, who is very different from ordinary teenagers.

It can also be understood that Xu Ke resented his father and the corrupt court.

He reminded Xu Ke a long time ago to be a wise gentleman.Afterwards, the repeated suggestions made him annoyed again and again.

In the end, Xu Ke complained that he was biased.

Lin Xin just felt helpless.

If he didn't care so much and sat on the altar and watched the dynasties change in the world, he should be much more at ease.

You won't be pointed at and scolded for being eccentric.

Is he biased?

In a way, he is indeed eccentric.Xu Ke is surly and irritable, while Lin Zhen is diligent and courteous.Lin Xin asked himself, he would like Lin Zhen more.

But he also taught them for ten years, and he thought that he spent the same amount of time on them. On the contrary, because of Lin Zhen's peace of mind, after Lin Zhen grew up, he seldom taught him anything.

As for Xu Ke, Lin Xin was always worried that he would go further and further away, so every time he went south, the ray of spirit that Lin Xin left in Zhenshui Village would go to him for advice.

At the beginning, I also taught him to live more comfortably and happily.Later, Lin Xin found out that when he did those things, he was very happy. Lin Xin could only try his best to persuade him not to be so ridiculous.

Xu Ke was not in his charge originally, but Mr. Lin still died for the child.

At this moment, Lin Xin could only say "I did my best".

Gu Yuan reminded him: "The last step."

Lin Xin lifted his foot and landed firmly on the ground.

He took out a sound transmission talisman from his sleeve, and sent a message to Old Master Nanhua: "Emperor Chongyuan's palace was burned by the Emperor Wu, do you always want to come and have a look?"

After standing under the tower and waiting for a while, Old Master Nanhua wrote back to him.

"It doesn't matter." Laojun pondered for a while, "Emperor didn't enjoy Wu's sacrifices earlier, these things don't matter."

It turned out to be irrelevant.

Lin Xin breathed a sigh of relief: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come here."

Gu Yuan held his hand: "Go back?"

"It's not easy to come out, go and see Ah Zhen and the others, okay?"

Gu Yuan knew him well, and when he said he would go and have a look, he really did go and have a look.

Lin Zhen was marching and fighting, Lin Xin didn't want to bother her, and she was worried, so she went over to take a look and then left.

"Okay." Gu Yuan embraced him, and he was outside the city in an instant.

Originally, Lin Zhen planned to invade the capital of Wu State before the new year.

Unexpectedly, heavy snow fell from the sky, which disrupted his plan.

The Vietnamese army was stationed a hundred miles away from the capital of the state of Wu, ready to wait for the weather to clear before attacking the city.

The military discipline was strict, trespassing was not allowed, the two of them stood not far away, Lin Xin sent a letter to Xiao Que'er, asking him to come out for a while.

Not long after, a smear of emerald color flitted across the snow, and the little blue sparrow flapped its wings and flew in front of Lin Xin, and when it landed, it turned into a young man in a green shirt.

He shouted: "Xianjun."

Lin Xin nodded slightly.

Xiaoqueer asked: "Xianjun, how is the emperor's palace?"

"It doesn't matter." Lin Xin told him what Old Master Nanhua had said.

"That's good." Xiao Que'er stood beside him, "I was thinking at the time, whether it is Xianjun's ex-fiancé, or I should tell Xianjun, so..."

"Well, you're right."

Xiao Que'er was a little proud, raised her eyebrows, saw Gu Yuan, and said: "Your Majesty, don't take it too seriously, if next time, your palace will also be..."

Lin Xin patted his head, feigning anger, and called him.

Xiao Que'er took his hand: "Would the Xianjun go to the barracks to see? It's not convenient for Ah Zhen to come out, and he hasn't seen Xianjun for a long time."

Lin Xin nodded: "Then go and see him."

Lin Zhen ruled the army, and the discipline in the camp was strict.

The time has passed, and there are no more idle sergeants in the battalion, and there are small teams from time to time, holding torches to patrol the night.

It was troublesome for Xiao Que'er to take them back, so Lin Xin pasted an invisibility talisman on his and Gu Yuan's foreheads.

Candles were still lit in the coach's tent, so Lin Zhen didn't go to bed so early.

Xiao Que'er stopped outside the tent and called out, "General?"

Lin Zhen could hear his voice and let him in.

Three years ago, Lin Zhen regained the land of the former Yue Kingdom, but he did not proclaim himself emperor at that time.

He only said that he had to wait until Wu was defeated before proclaiming himself emperor.

Later when Lin Xin asked him, he told the truth.In fact, it was because a general was different from an emperor. He thought he had fought for three years, but being a general would be fine, but being an emperor made him a country, and he had to bear all the important affairs of the country on his shoulders.While being a general, he was asked to distract himself from being an emperor, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do it himself.

Besides, he became the emperor, so it was not so easy to set off.The royal conquest sounds very public.

So Wu Guo still calls them rebels, and Lin Zhen is the leader of the rebels.

Lin Zhen was also happy to be a small leader. In this way, the leader of the rebel army led the rebel army all the way to attack the city, and finally attacked the capital of Wu Guoguo.

The young general will be 26 after the new year. The boy who was not childish before has grown into a tall man.

Several years of fighting career have carved many marks on him.

A scar on the neck, a sword wound on the heart, and a scar on the brow bone.When the arrows were flying, he was riding on the horse, and when he turned his head, an arrow grazed his brow bone, and if he missed it, it would hit his eye.

Xiao Que'er walked into the tent, Lin Zhen was sitting in front of the desk looking at the map, he called out in a low voice, "Sister Ah Zhen?"

Lin Zhen's matter of wearing women's clothing may never be over.

Lin Zhen raised her head helplessly: "Something..."

At that time, Lin Xin was standing outside the tent, patting the snow on his shoulders, and after getting into the tent, he took off the invisibility talisman on his forehead.

Lin Xin couldn't see him, but when he heard his voice, he smiled and said, "Ah Zhen?"

"Xianjun." Lin Zhen stood up and took two steps forward, "There is a charcoal basin inside to make it warmer. Come in and sit down, Xianjun."

"it is good."

Gu Yuan supported him, Xiao Que'er spread a duck down blanket on the seat, and let him sit down.

Lin Xin said quickly, "Don't bother, it's not that the old man is afraid of the cold."

He tugged on Gu Yuan's sleeve and made Gu Yuan sit down too.

Xiao Que'er sat down next to him: "It's so rare for Xianjun to come here."

"I'm afraid to disturb you." Lin Dao said, "Every time I come, I have to trouble you to come here, and I have to eat an extra portion of food. It's not easy for you to fight in the front line, and I can't help you, so I dare not come here. "

"Where is it?" Xiao Que'er cupped her face, "The last time the Wu army besieged the city, when the fairy came, I thought, if the fairy came, there must be no problem now."

"Oh." Lin Xin said calmly, "That time you were clearly standing on the city tower, and you said: 'Xianjun, Ah Zhen is here, there must be no problem now.' Why did you omit two words?"

Xiao Que'er scratched her head and smiled, then stood up: "I'm going to boil water and make tea."

The wind blew in from outside the tent, and it only blew for a moment, thinking that the little bird had gone out.

Lin Xin thought for a while and asked, "How is Ah Zhen?"

Lin Zhen replied, "Everything is fine."

Jiaolong, coiled behind him, has always been very close to Lin Xin, after all, he grew up watching him.

The flood dragon approached Lin Xin with its head, exhaled, and the flying beard brushed against the back of his hand.

But Lin Xin didn't feel it.

The dragon was getting closer and closer, wanting to test it out.Unexpectedly, another black dragon jumped up beside Lin Xin, much bigger than it, coiled around Lin Xin, glanced at it coldly, and let it go back to its place.

Jiaolong let out a "woo" and leaned his head on Lin Zhen's shoulder.

Lin Zhen couldn't see it either, she just talked to Lin Xin: "The eyes of the Immortal Lord?"

"It doesn't matter, it will be fine soon."

"That's good." Lin Zhen pondered for a while and asked, "The Immortal came from the Wu Palace?"

"Yeah." Lin Xin admitted generously, "Little Que'er told you?"

"Yes, I think Xianjun will come over too." Lin Zhen asked again, "Did Xianjun meet Xu Ke?"

"Can this be seen?"

"Xian Jun has been in Wu's palace for a long time, so he should go to see him."

"He..." Lin Xin sighed softly, helplessly and weakly, "I didn't control him before, I couldn't control him long ago...I don't care about him anymore."

Lin Zhen smiled, and said: "It's always like this, bad children are more attractive, and Xianjun will take care of them more."

"He said a hundred words, but he didn't listen to a hundred words. If I tell you half a word, you will understand, so don't be too restrained."

Lin Xin folded his hands and said with a smile: "Besides, after the new year, I will only be 22, and you will be 26. How can I care about you?"

"I'm about to break through the capital city of Wu Kingdom. I haven't fully figured out what to do after I become emperor." Lin Zhen thought about it, "I'm afraid that when I am seventy or eighty, I will have to be restrained by Xianjun from time to time."

While talking, a voice came from outside the tent: "General."

Lin Zhen responded, and outsiders lifted the curtain to come in. He said to Lin Daoist, "It's Daoist Shuanglin, and Shen Nianjun."

Lin Xin had never met Shen Nianjun face to face before, but only saw him from a distance, so Lin Zhen said one more thing and asked him if it was okay.

This time, Shuanglin, as an accompanying military doctor, went out with the army.

Shen Nianjun was the child of the younger brother of the Shen family and Mrs. Song from Zhenshui Village. At the age of 17, he had followed Lin Zhen to several battlefields. He was considered a rare young general.

Shuang Lin followed Lin Zhen's gaze: "The Immortal Lord and Your Honor are also there."

Just at this time, Xiao Que'er came back with a teapot.

He pushed Shen Nianjun from behind, and took the opportunity to stick a green feather on his back: "It's cold outside, go in quickly."

Shen Nianjun put away the maps and scrolls on the long case, and Shuang Lin put the pot on the case.

Shuanglin said: "Just now I saw that the commander's tent was still lit, and he made a pot of soup and added some medicinal materials. It's winter, so we should make up for it. It happened that Mr. Nian is here, so I asked him to come over and drink some together. Now Xianjun and Your Majesty are also here, let's drink together too."

Thank you, Lin Zhen told Shen Nianjun: "Bring more bowls."

At that time, Shen Nianjun was looking at Lin Xin with great enthusiasm. This person was very similar to Lin Xianjun that his mother enshrined at home.And he is also called "Xianjun", he will never...

Lin Zhen yelled at him again, and he came back to his senses and hurried out.

Xiao Que'er laughed and said, "How did Mrs. Song give birth to such a naive child?"

There is not much soup in a crock pot, so these people, if each of them shared more than half a bowl, it would be gone.

Lin Xin held the bowl to drink the soup, only to hear Shen Nianjun say: "General, I read a book during the day and saw a sentence, but I don't quite understand it."

Lin Zhen responded, "Tell me about it."

"It is said in the book: 'A ruler should not forget his roots, but he can teach the people.' That's why folks have the custom of worshiping ancestors, and here we often live in clans. So..."

"So what?"

"So..." Shen Nianjun put down the soup bowl, "So after the founding of the country, what will the general base on?"

"What do you think it should be based on?"

"I think it should be based on the ancestors of the Yue Kingdom in the past."

Shuanglin glanced at Lin Zhen, and quickly lowered her slender eyes.

"You mean, you want me to chase them down?"

"Yes, it's so convincing."

Lin Zhen asked Shen Nianjun, "How many Yue emperors do you know? Not counting Lin Xin and Lin Xianjun."

Shen Nianjun choked: "I..."

"Who taught you that?"

Lin Zhen put down the pottery bowl in her hand and raised the volume slightly.Shen Nianjun grew up by his side, Lin Zhen was strict and demanding, Shen Nianjun was a little afraid of him.

He replied in a low voice: "No one taught me, I realized it myself."

Shuanglin patted him and said softly: "Nianjun, don't talk about it, let's drink some soup."

Shen Nianjun continued to mutter: "I'm thinking about the overall situation. It doesn't take much effort to build a ancestral hall for the ancestors of the Yue Kingdom. What's wrong with gaining a good reputation for keeping the original foundation?"

But Lin Zhen asked: "The ancestors of the Yue Kingdom you are talking about, do you include the cowardly and incompetent Sidi, the Lingdi who abandoned the people and went south to cross the sea?"

Shen Nianjun couldn't answer.

"If you really have the heart, you should think about these things clearly before you come to make suggestions and give advice." Lin Zhen sneered, "It's either a whim, or someone instigated it."

Shen Nianjun spoke quickly, and said, "I know, you only like Lin Xin, the ruler of the subjugated country, and you only want to build a temple for him, and you don't pay attention to other ancestors of the Yue Kingdom."

At that time Lin Xin finished drinking the soup, Gu Yuan saw that he liked it, so he tugged on his sleeve and gave him the soup in his own bowl.

When Shen Nianjun said this, before Lin Xin could react, Lin Zhen and Xiao Que'er became angry together.

"shut up."

"To shut up."

Shen Nianjun said again: "What's wrong with Emperor Ling? Emperor Ling is still the father of Xianjun. If Xianjun is here, he will not disagree. After all, Xianjun is not an unfaithful person..."

Lin Xin said leisurely: "You are wrong, Xianjun is an unfaithful and unfilial person."

Shen Nianjun was taken aback: "Huh?"

"If I were your father."

"Why do I feel like something's wrong?"

"Don't care about such details." Lin Xin put down the soup bowl, "If I were your father, I would throw you into a Taoist temple as soon as you were born. Because your father and I have some power in the local area, no one dares to control you. After more than ten years in the Taoist temple, many of my wives and many children went to the Taoist temple to pray from time to time, and kicked you when they saw you. One day a group of robbers came. I pushed you out and said to the robbers: "This It's my son, and he's in charge of everything, not me.' And I ran away."

Lin Xin asked back: "If that's the case, Lin Xianjun still wants to grit his teeth and be a loyal and filial son, isn't he so stupid?"

Shen Nianjun couldn't answer.

Lin Xin said again: "Of course, if you are not my son, you may be anyone in the Yue Kingdom at that time. Emperor Ling was very kind to some people. You have received his favor and want to sacrifice to him , makes sense. These people are mainly—"

Shen Nianjun answered, "Yes?"

Lin Xin said indifferently: "Beloved concubine or jester."

"what?"

"If you don't want to be a favorite concubine, you can still be a relative of the favorite concubine. He is also good to the relatives of the favorite concubine." Lin Xin smiled secretly, "If you still don't want to, there is another person, Emperor Ling also likes it very much."

"Who else?"

Lin Xin suppressed a smile: "Eunuch, he is also very good to the eunuch who pleases him."

"you……"

"Except for these people, he is not good to others. But this is too strange. He is neither your ancestor, nor have you received any favor from him. How could you think of offering sacrifices to the ancestors of the Yue Kingdom?" Lin Xin supported his head , "You said that we must not forget the origin, do you really think that they will be this 'origin'? If they are, I have never seen the Yue State Shao sacrifice before, so why is the Yue State still dead?"

Shen Nianjun was a little dazed, Lin Xin smiled and shook his head: "Silly boy."

Xiao Que'er smiled and put her arms around Shen Nianjun's shoulders: "Nianjun, who is so powerful that he taught you how to be an emperor? Call that person out and teach you brother Zhen as well?"

Shen Nianjun straightened his neck and said, "No one taught me, I thought of it myself."

Xiao Que'er looked down at the soup bowl in front of him: "Is the soup finished?"

"Finished."

"Go back to sleep after drinking." Xiao Que'er patted him on the back hard, "I sacrifice to Emperor Ling, are you still dreaming?"

The emerald bird feathers that were originally attached to his back took effect, Shen Nianjun knocked his head and fell asleep.

Xiao Que'er held his arms: "I'll take him out, and he'll be fine when he wakes up tomorrow morning."

Shuanglin also stood up: "I'll do it."

After Shen Nianjun left, Lin Zhen said to Lin Dao, "Xianjun, I didn't expect that."

"I told you before, it doesn't matter who you chase after, it's your own business. I don't have to share the sacrifice with the Lingdi." Lin Xin thoughtfully, "I remember, there were such a few years ago Why do people always ask you to become the emperor of the Yue Kingdom?"

"I'm afraid someone sees the unification of the south of the Yangtze River and wants to fish in troubled waters." Lin Zhen said, "I will be careful."

It was inconvenient to stay for a long time, and after talking for a while, Lin Xin and Gu Yuan left.

"Yuanyuan, what is there that only priests can have?"

Gu Yuan said: "It's a merit."

"Yes, merit." Lin Xin nodded, "Maybe Emperor Ling needs merit, so someone encouraged Ah Zhen to sacrifice to the ancestors of the Yue Kingdom."

He thought for a while, took out the sound transmission talisman, and asked Xiao Mengjun, who was working in the underworld, to help him find out something.

The next day, Shen Nianjun woke up in the tent.

Shuanglin came in with hot water: "Are you awake? Come and wash your face."

Shen Nianjun patted his back: "Why do I feel like I've been beaten by someone?"

He got off the bed, wrung out the towel and washed his face.

Shuanglin smiled and retreated to the side, Shen Nianjun said: "Master Daoist, I had a very strange dream."

"Did you dream about Lin Xianjun?"

"Yes." Shen Nianjun tried his best to recall, "Lin Xianjun said..."

"He is unwilling to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of Yue."

"Well... how do you know, Daoist?"

"The Taoist priest is a half-immortal, so it can be counted." Shuang Lin narrowed his eyes, "He still hates the Lingdi, who sent him to the Taoist temple, and didn't care about it. When the soldiers approached the city, they pushed him out."

Shuanglin said softly: "Actually, Emperor Ling also wanted to protect him. He was approved by the national teacher as a natural emperor, which naturally attracted a lot of fear. It is safest to send him to a Taoist temple. As for letting him take the throne, it is also the Emperor Ling For the sake of protecting the people."

He looked up at Shen Nianjun: "Nianjun, do you understand?"

Shen Nianjun paused, then nodded: "I understand."

"He still has resentment in his heart." Shuanglin frowned and sighed, looking worried, "I don't know if he can be a good protector of the new dynasty in the future."

Shen Nianjun blinked, and said frankly: "If he can't do well, just change to another protector."

"Change……"

Shen Nianjun looked at him and suddenly said: "Prince Daoist, I think you can do it."

Shuang Lin's expression froze, then he answered with a smile, "How can I do it? I'm just a half-immortal."

"The Taoist chief is my benefactor, and most of the army has been rescued by the Taoist chief." Shen Nianjun followed his words, "If you are the patron saint of the new dynasty, you must be very popular among the people."

"I haven't thought about such a thing, and don't say such things in the future. I can't compare with Lin Xianjun."

Shuanglin didn't change her smile, turned and left.
