Rebirth of the Son Raiders

Chapter 151 The Crown Ceremony

The Zhiyi used his furry paws to fiddle with the belt on the back of the main system from time to time, looking a little dazed, as though he was bored waiting but still obediently stayed there.

Lin Yanhong thought, if it weren't for the huge difference in "body shape" between Li Jingshu and his soul, that big guy would probably be like Jingxi's cub, rubbing against people's legs and shaking them whenever he wanted not drop.

Probably because of thinking of Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Zhiyi, although Lin Yanhong couldn't show that he could see the giant, his attitude towards the frail Li Jingshu would always be somewhat relaxed.

——King Qi won, the third son has fallen into the "enemy camp", and may not be able to enjoy the fruits of victory, but if King Qi is defeated, he must be a "rogue minister and thief", and everyone will punish him if he wins.

Lin Yanhong observed for a few days, and found that Li Jingshu was very peaceful, without the slightest self-pity for being abandoned by his father as an abandoned son, and even felt calm and relieved as if he was seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence.

When he stayed in Xicang, he knew every part of the Western Regions like a treasure, and he knew every level of checkpoints on the border like the back of his hand, as if he had the whole map firmly in his heart.

Lin Yanhong became famous at a young age, and has always been called a genius by others, but he thinks he can't live a new life. He has studied a few years more than his peers, and he is also more hardworking.

He has seen veritable geniuses with his own eyes, and the one who impressed Lin Yanhong the most is Mr. Zhanhe from Qingtong Academy.

Mr. Zhanhe has a photographic memory, and he can remember all the poems he has read a few times.

Even if it is that kind of difficult ancient scroll, as long as Mr. Zhanhe can understand its content, it is only a matter of time to recite it. Sometimes it may take others several months to figure it out, and he can quickly sort it out.

When Lin Yanhong returned to Qingtong Academy as a filial piety for Lin Tong's family, in order to prevent him from falling behind and affecting the next scientific examination, Mr. Zhanhe specially "made a small stove" for him and personally urged him to study.

Lin Yanhong may not be able to memorize all the articles written by himself, but Mr. Zhanhe can remember the general outline, and occasionally he can write "the article you wrote last time, although the words and sentences are not full, but the idea is very new, I like it very much , This article is an improvement, but unfortunately the intention is a bit inferior." Comments like Lin Yanhong's articles are obviously kept in mind, and Lin Yanhong is often amazed.

However, Lin Yanhong found that Li Jingshu's "photographic memory" is slightly different from that of Mr. Zhanhe.

Mr. Zhanhe's photographic memory is mainly manifested in the memory of words, but Li Jingshu's is focused on the control of topography.

Perhaps it is precisely because Li Jingshu can't see things, so he needs to "remember" those mountains and rivers, the mountains, rivers, and every ravine in the Western Regions, as long as they appear on the map of Xicang, he can remember them clearly.

If there is any shortcoming, it is that he is limited by his body and has not been to the field after all. If there is a difference between the map and the reality due to the limitations and mistakes of the mapper, he cannot correct it by himself.

Lin Yanhong didn't know whether Li Jingshu's ability was innate or acquired through training. In short, he discovered that Li Jingshu had such abilities. Lin Yanhong always admired talented people.

He privately said to Li Jingcheng: "With Li Jingshu's ability, if he hadn't been the third son of Prince Qi's mansion, he would definitely have achieved something in the Western Regions in the future."

"If he wasn't the third son of Prince Qi's mansion, how could he see such a confidential map and seat?"

Seeing Lin Yanhong praising Li Jingshu, Li Jingcheng's face was as stern as ever, but his tone was sour, and he almost said "his little ability is nothing".

Lin Yanhong suddenly listened to his words, and at first thought it made sense—if he wanted to take the crown, he must bear the burden... It is true that the status of the son of King Qi restricted Li Jingshu's future, but it is undeniable that it also brought him ordinary life. unavailable resources.

After chatting about Li Jingshu for a while, Lin Yanhong noticed that Li Jingcheng was busy wiping his own sword, and showed no interest in the topic of Li Jingshu. Only then did he finally understand that his royal highness had committed another crime. "Old problem".

Lin Yanhong was amused in his heart, but he didn't show it. He just put his hands on the opponent's shoulders and squeezed them: "Are you tired today?"

For several days in a row, Li Jingcheng went back and forth to several cities across the border. Although he had an extremely powerful "mount", it was still very hard work.

The son of Prince Yu is obviously already tall enough to catch up with his father, but when he sits honestly in front of Lin Yanhong, he looks very "well-behaved". It's the same when messing around.

Lin Yanhong only took it as coaxing him, and didn't expose it, and even said: "Then I'll squeeze it for Your Highness."

I squeezed it again and asked him in a gentle voice, "Are you comfortable?"

A certain person was so comfortable that his tail was going up to the sky, but his face was still expressionless, and he nodded solemnly, as if Lin Yanhong's tenderness was not satisfactory.

"I'm also very tired, Your Highness will squeeze it for me too?" Lin Yanhong worked hard and teased him with a smile on his face.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Jingcheng immediately put the sword on the table beside him, pulled Lin Yanhong into his arms, and then began to imitate him to loosen his muscles and bones.

Lin Yanhong was the director at the desk, and his shoulders and neck were indeed a little stiff. Li Jingcheng's hands were so strong that he could smash rocks with his bare hands, but the strength he used on Lin Yanhong was just right.

He is a martial arts practitioner, and he already knows many acupuncture points on his body, which is obviously much better than Lin Yanhong, an "outsider". After a while, he pressed Lin Changshi slightly, and couldn't help moaning.

There is a true love in his arms, and such a sound that makes people think about it, even a saint would feel itchy, let alone a certain prince who always obeys his own desires.

So he squeezed and squeezed, and his hand began to move down slowly, and moved to some places that shouldn't be touched without anyone noticing.

When Lin Yanhong found out that something was wrong, he immediately grabbed his "instigator" hand, and gave the "instigator" a hard look, as a warning, but in Li Jingcheng's eyes, it was all kinds of amorous feelings.

When they were in Pingwu, they got along day and night like they did when they were children, and after overcoming all difficulties, they finally connected with each other. Naturally, they spent a period of time.

However, because one of the two is the eldest son and wants to live in the Pingyang Dudu Mansion on behalf of his father Yu Wang, and the other is Chang Shi who has just arrived and is busy with official duties, so there is not much time to spend together freely.

In addition, Lin Yanhong's health has not been very good. Even if Li Jingcheng is emotional, he is extremely restrained. In the end, he would rather let himself bear it than do it too much, lest Lin Yanhong will hurt the root.

Therefore, to this day, they still have a taste of happiness between them, "click until it ends".

In fact, for most of the past winter, Lin Changshi was lying next to a giant "Sinu", occasionally "making noise" for a while, and the rest of the time was just used for heating and keeping warm.

Sensing the reaction from Li Jingcheng's body, but the other party still obediently stopped his hands, obviously afraid that the real emotion would become uncontrollable and make him suffer, Lin Yanhong suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

Even if he is as infatuated as His Royal Highness King Yu, he and the concubine are also deeply in love with each other. Otherwise, where did Jingxi come from?

Jing Cheng is still a year and a half away from the coronation ceremony, but he has never tasted the fun that ordinary people have, not to mention the more things he gave up for Lin Yanhong...

Thinking of this, Lin Yanhong couldn't help touching Li Jingcheng's face, and kissed him on the lips.

He wanted to ask the other party if he would not regret it, but he was blocked by the light in Li Jingcheng's eyes that was instantly ignited by the light kiss just now, and he couldn't ask any unnecessary words after all.

"Jing Cheng..."

Just as Lin Yanhong was about to say something, Li Jingcheng remembered an extremely important matter first.

"Your birthday is coming soon."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After being reminded by Li Jingcheng, Lin Yanhong suddenly realized that winter was over and his birthday was indeed approaching.

And this birthday is also different from the past, this is his 20th birthday.

For men, this is a very meaningful moment.

In Liangjing, the crowning ceremony at the age of 20 is called a man's coming-of-age ceremony.After a man is crowned, he is recognized as an "adult", and from then on he has the obligation to fight to defend the country, and at the same time he has the powers of an adult man such as marrying a wife and having children.

Normally, the crowning ceremony is held in the family's ancestral temple, and the ceremony is presided over by the male elders of the man, such as grandfather, father or brother.The whole process must be extremely cautious. Before the coronation ceremony, yarrow must be used for divination to select an auspicious day and a good time for coronation.

During the crowning ceremony, the guest of honor will add three crowns to the recipient.First, a black cloth crown made of black linen is added, which means that the recipient has the privilege of governing people; secondly, a leather hat made of white deerskin is added, which means that he can serve in the military; finally, a crown made of Gebu or silk is added. Juebian means that the recipient of the crown has the right to be a living person from now on.

After crowning, the guest of honor, as the elder, will also give the recipient a word.Of course, Lin Yanhong's handwriting has already been taken by His Majesty himself, and this step can be omitted in his coronation ceremony, as long as his handwriting is recorded in the genealogy at the end of the ceremony.

For Lin Yanhong in his "previous life", living to the age of 20 is nothing short of a miracle.

This is also "thanks" to Mrs. Zhen's selfishness, and keeping him as a son-in-law for other purposes, so she has never completely dealt with him.

Lin Yanhong remembered that the guest of honor at that time was his grandfather Lin Qiongde who crowned him with the word "Zi'an", implying that he would grow up safely.

Lin Yanhong actually doesn't like this word very much - if a person's lifelong wish is to live, it sounds simple and unpretentious, but it is actually quite sad.

After rebirth, his life goal was finally a bit more pursued than "surviving".

Unknowingly, seven years have passed in a blink of an eye. If he was still alive in his previous life, he would be in his thirties now, but now Lin Yanhong is still an immature scholar in the eyes of outsiders, even though he is an official Year.

In fact, as early as many years ago, his father Lin Feng had imagined this day with Lin Yanhong.

Because Lin Feng never thought that Lin Yanhong would leave home for Tianjing so early. He always thought that he was still in Yunyang City when the crowning ceremony was held, just like Lin Jun, so he wanted to be the guest of honor for his son, and he always wanted to Choose a watch word with good meaning and blessing for Lin Yanhong.

It's a pity that this wish to take the character was not realized, and his wish to be the guest of honor seems to be impossible to realize now.

In addition, Lin Yanhong's uncle Master Qi and aunt Qi Zhang also discussed this matter in front of Lin Yanhong.

At that time, Lin Yanhong was still in the Imperial Academy, and everyone thought that he would stay in his original post after three years of office, so Mr. Qi looked serious on the surface but was very expectant in his heart, thinking that his uncle would definitely be able to replace Lin Yanhong's father who was far away in Yunshui. The guest of honor at the crown ceremony.

Mrs. Qi and Zhang have already thought about who they want to invite and who they don't want to invite, who will sit at the main table, who will accompany them at the last table, and how many dishes will be served at the banquet. As soon as Lin Yanhong's 20th birthday comes, he will immediately put it into action.

Even His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Yu mentioned Lin Yanhong's coronation ceremony successively, but no one could have expected such a change in things.

His Majesty, who loved Lin Tanhua so much at the beginning, suddenly fell ill and did not know about his personnel. However, His Majesty King Yu, who was entrusted by His Majesty to preside over the crowning ceremony for Lin Hongxiu, is now confined to Nanling, unable to go anywhere.

Lin Yanhong's coronation ceremony seemed destined to have no guest of honor, no banquet, and no witnesses from relatives and friends... Only Li Jingcheng was by his side.

There was some regret in his heart, but he didn't feel alone.

Because he knows that in this life, even if he travels to the ends of the earth, there will always be Li Jingcheng by his side, and there will always be someone who cares about him thousands of miles away and always keeps him in his heart.

——No longer alone, why not be afraid of temporary separation... When those who value him see him again, they will feel relieved that he can already be alone.

……

Lin Yanhong himself didn't mind, but Li Jingcheng really did.

It's just that there is chaos everywhere now, and Yunshui is too far away from the Western Regions, so he is not at ease about leaving like this, leaving Lin Yanhong alone in Xicang, so there is no way to pick up a guest of honor to the border.

King Qi's army has already attacked the Central Plains, and the capital is waiting in Ningde. The war is about to break out, but it is not known when it will end.

If the war had not ceased and there were no princes guarding the borders of the Western Regions, there would be no peace, so Lin Yanhong and Li Jingcheng would naturally be unable to leave.

It's not good for Lin Yanhong to miss the crowning ceremony all the time, so he had to settle for the next best thing and find a respected old man in Xicang to be the guest of honor to host the crowning ceremony for Lin Yanhong.

Lin Yanhong had experienced this ceremony once, so he was naturally very experienced. In addition, Li Jingcheng valued it, even if the conditions were difficult, he had prepared everything he needed, so it didn't look shabby.

In addition, Prince Yu's son Shi and Pingyang Governor's Mansion Chief Shi came to Xicang to save the Western Regions from fire and water, and they were loved and respected by the local people.

Early in the morning, when the people who were still in Zuogong City heard that Lin Changshi was holding the coronation ceremony, they all spontaneously ran to the governor's mansion.

Although everyone couldn't go inside to watch the ceremony, they gathered outside and listened carefully to the news from inside. The worries and fears from this period of time were temporarily forgotten by everyone, and only the rare excitement and celebration remained, like a festival.

Before and after that, Lin Yanhong received a lot of letters. The letter paper from Jingzhong experienced the most twists and turns, but it was not the last one to arrive.

Because King Qi's army and the capital confronted each other in Ningde, almost completely cutting off the connection between the north and the south, Yunshui's letter was the last to arrive.

Seeing Lin Yanhong's brows furrowed, Li Jingcheng thought of Yunshui and the Lin family, so he asked what happened.

Lin Yanhong put down the letter paper and told what was mentioned in the letter.

"Lin Yanxing is gone."

Li Jingcheng hadn't heard of this name for a long, long time. At first, he reacted for a while, and then he remembered: Isn't Lin Yanxing the younger brother of that concubine Lin Yanhong.

Lin Jun happened to miss Chunxiu once because of Lin Tong's filial piety, and finally participated in it again and failed again. Because Lin's "jewel" Lin Yanhong was in front of him, his life in Qingtong Academy was really "difficult".

Lin Qiongde was afraid that his own son would be affected, so he would be depressed, so he called him back to Yunyang City, studied at home with peace of mind, and prepared to fight Chunwei again.

And Lin Yanxing, who is only a month away from Lin Yanhong, has not even passed the exam, but he is still young and not as good as the weak champion. Lin Qiongde has no reason to let him leave the school, so Lin Yanxing has stayed in Yunshui's school for the past two years read.

Lin Yanhong left Yunyang City, his father Lin Feng was accompanied by Li Jingcheng's shadow guards.

But this shadow guard is mainly responsible for Lin Feng's safety, and it is impossible to take care of everything about the Lin family.

What's more, Lin Yanxing was not in the mansion, but was studying in the mansion school. Neither Lin Yanhong nor Li Jingcheng thought of sending someone to follow him closely to see what Lin Yanxing was doing, so they were negligent.

King Qi raised troops, although the disaster was not as good as Yunshui, but Lin Feng still went to Xinfu to study, and asked Lin Yanxing, who left home early after the New Year's Day, to pay attention to safety.

Who would have thought that after a while, they would get a letter from the Fuxue, and the Lin family learned that Lin Yanxing had never returned to the Fuxue, and his whereabouts were unknown until now.

Almost at the same time, Lin Qiongde discovered that his home had been stolen, and the gold and silver in the treasury, as well as some precious calligraphy and paintings had disappeared. Then he contacted Lin Yanxing's sudden disappearance, which made people have to think about it.

Take all precautions, it is difficult for a family to be a thief... Lin Qiongde probably never imagined that Lin Yanxing would be so bold and reckless that he would steal away the family's belongings and disappear without a trace.

After Lin Tong's and Mrs. Zhen passed away one after another, the "income" of the Lin family was obviously not as good as before.

Lin Qiongde was not involved in production and was not familiar with general affairs, so he could only let the Lin family live on their old capital. Now he lost a huge sum of money, which made him hate Lin Yanxing even more.

He asked Lin Feng to write to Lin Yanhong, telling him to use all available connections to bring Lin Yanxing, an uneducated and unskilled, unfilial son who learned how to steal chickens and dogs, back to Yunyang as soon as possible.

The letter was obviously written at the behest of Lin Qiongde, and his father Lin Feng wrote another letter, expressing his longing for the eldest son and his deep regret for not being able to accompany him to the crowning ceremony.

Although his father, Lin Feng, was completely disappointed with Lin Yanxing, he was his son after all, so he also expressed the most direct worry.

"Now what I want to think about is where Lin Yanxing went."

The world is so big, it is not easy for people like Lin Yanxing who have no power to go elsewhere.

Not to mention the need to use special guides to pass customs along the road. Even if he settles elsewhere, he has to apply for a new household registration.

Lin Yanxing "got away" without anyone noticing, and has not been found until now, which made Lin Yanhong think more.

——Who is the person who can lead the way for Lin Yanxing?

Thinking of what happened in his "previous life", he was suddenly worried.

He had already cut off the connection between Lin Yanxing and Prince Zhe, so did that guy still find a way to connect himself?

"In the current situation, it is not easy to conduct a search in a big way, and since he can get a guide, he doesn't know where to hide at this moment."
