true

Get rid of those three people? Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Since you want to live above the temple, you can't let Lin Shu never have blood on his hands." "

Lin Chen played with the fan pendant carved from white jade, and sighed softly after a long time, "...Besides, he didn't do it all because of you."

Jingyan said calmly, "For Brother Qi, these three people, if he doesn't kill them, I will kill them too."

"It's just that your lieutenant general is very angry, thinking that he is protecting King Qi and disregarding your life or death."

"Brother Qi Wang won't kill me...someone deliberately instigated it." Jingyan frowned as if making up his mind, and let out a breath slowly, "It's just that if he comes again, I won't see you again."

Lin Chen understood the meaning of his words, "Are you really going to use this to break with Lin Shu? You know that you will be ruined and ruined forever, so you want to separate yourself from him at this time and let him be alone?"

"..."

"Have you ever thought about what the result of your efforts will be? I don't think it's better than this. You ask him to help you. After the matter is over, Jinling won't be able to accommodate you, so how about you two swimming together in the rivers and lakes together."

Jingyan shook his head, "Although he yearns for the Jianghu, he is still a man of the world, and the suzerainty of the Jiangzuo League is not his true wish, not to mention, he still has Gaotang..."

"To put it bluntly, you just don't want him to look a little like Changsu." Lin Chen interrupted him, "Xiao Jingyan, do you know that Mei Changsu didn't come out of nowhere, and those schemes didn't come up for him by accident. .”

He lowered his head and fiddled with the plum blossom carved from white jade, "In Mei Changsu's body is Lin Shu's soul, Lin Shu's bone."

"...It's not like what the Young Pavilion Master would say."

"Do you think I'm telling you this because of you?" Lin Chen stood up, walked up to Jingyan, looked at him, and said word by word, "Changsu told me at the end, let me be in his absence." protect you."

"I kept that promise for the rest of my life...I thought 20 years was enough."

In the next life, everyone is alive, but Mei Changsu is still not here.

Pavilion Master Lin Shao has always been arrogant and never suffers from his behavior. This agreement with Mei Changsu is indeed a big loss.

So Jingyan said to him, "Twenty years is enough."

"You said it's useless." Lin Chen stopped walking outside, then turned to him and said, "This is my appointment with Mei Changsu, it has nothing to do with you."

--to be continued--

Lin Chen has complicated feelings towards Jingyan and Lin Shu.

I hope I got it right in this chapter.

Someone asked why Jingyan would apologize to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager did not suffer from this disease in the previous life (he was a little confused in advance after being ill), and he always felt that the Empress Dowager would not be sick if the mother and concubine were in the palace. sick.

To reiterate, [in this article, except for the relationship between Lin Shu and Jingyan which is love (including friendship)] the relationship between other characters is friendship, friendship, friendship.

The love of "one heart and one mind" is of course the main theme of sad and beautiful stories since ancient times, but I think the friendship of "promise and never fail" is also a very touching emotion.

[Langya Bang] The First True [26] (Shu Yan)

Lin Chen didn't stay too long in Jiu'an Mountain before leaving.

"It's a major event in the world, and I can't be missing from everything."

With the absence of a Jiangzuo League that can secure the water and soil in the Jianghu, he has more things to worry about.

"Leave a beauty to accompany you to heal your injuries. If you keep Gong Yu, lest Lin Shu beat me, it's better to keep a little beauty."

Different from the previous life, there is a Mei Sect Master who can call the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes in Jinling. Now Jingyan has no real masters of the rivers and lakes to protect him.

Jingyan nodded at Lin Chen, he understood the meaning hidden in those seemingly chic and frivolous words.

"gone."

"Take care of yourself."

When Lin Chen left, he happened to pass by Prince Qi who had just dismounted and was hurrying towards the wooden house.

When the two passed by, Xiao Shizi stopped, bowed deeply to Lin Chen, and bowed respectfully.

----

After seeing Lin Chen off, there was another sound of horseshoes outside the window.

Thinking it was Lie Zhanying who came back, Jingyan wanted to call him but could only cough repeatedly.

Every cough was pulled to the wound, the pain was as painful as a knife file, and the eyes were dimmed, and the fingertips were trembling. At this time, I couldn't even pick up the glass of water by the table.

At this time, a cup of warm tea was delivered to his mouth in time, and he poured it into his mouth with a small sip to soak his throat, stopped coughing, and then slowly fed a cup of tea.

Jingyan drank his tea one gulp at a time, barely opened his eyes, and saw Ting Sheng standing aside with a cup.

He is as calm and calm as usual, even when he sees Jingyan like this, there is no emotion on his expression, neither angry nor sad tears.

In Jingyan's memory, he has never seen Tingsheng cry. From the time he first met in Yeyou Court, he saw him struggling to survive the bullying, and later when he first became Jingyan's adopted son, he was criticized by others, including later. After going through all kinds of great changes, he seems to be able to deal with it indifferently and calmly, whether it is facing his own life or death or the life and death of those around him.

On the night of Jingyan's death in the last life, Tingsheng just knelt on his bedside, chatting with him some trivial words.

"You came."

"...Brother Feiliu sent me here." Sitting beside Jingyan's bed, Tingsheng poured another cup of hot tea, and before Jingyan could ask, he told him about the situation in the camps he was worried about. "On the morning of the second day after you were injured, three guards pretended to be them and left the camp on their horses. I said that my father ordered them to go to Qishui immediately, and no one asked any more questions. As for the others...Lin Shu arranged very well, No one noticed anything, it's just that he couldn't be careless for a moment, and he couldn't get away."

"Tomorrow Meng Zhi's forbidden army will arrive, escorting the emperor and all his relatives back first."

Jingyan nodded, "...Understood."

"Father." The five-year-old baby sat by the bed and looked at him quietly.

Jingyan also looks at him.

In his unconscious dream, he saw Mei Changsu.

He was still wearing a white shirt, surrounded by a thick fur coat, leaning against the fire with a half-smile and lowered his eyes, listening carefully to what he said.

Only in the dream, there will be that person who smiles and says to himself, "Grandma's illness is not your fault, Jingyan will be fine."

When I think about it when I'm awake, maybe it's because I have too much guilt in my heart, but I can't express it.

Or maybe it's because all people in this life have their own belongings. Tingsheng returned to Brother Qi, his mother was with Concubine Chen, and Lin Shu was still the young man with the silver spear and cavalry who galloped on the battlefield with the Red Flame Army. .

Only Mei Changsu was with Xiao Jingyan.

"Uncle Huang. You miss Mr. Su, don't you?" Ting Sheng spoke again, stretched out his hand to hold Jingyan's cold fingers on the couch, and said softly, "Let me tell you about him."

Xiao Jingyan was stunned for a long time.

Then he nodded blankly.

----

Jingyan is weak, Tingsheng doesn't let him talk, and just talks about those past events slowly by himself.

Those days that were not good for them, now in Tingsheng's mouth, those bitter parts have been removed, leaving only the best memories with soft colors.

Even after he became an adult, Tingsheng would occasionally return to the palace to play chess with Jingyan while holding a candle to talk. From him, he learned a lot about Mei Changsu, and of course about Lin Shu, but it was himself, and Mei Changsu. Chang Su didn't meet that much, apart from the previous ones, only the occasional time when he went to Su's mansion when Jingyan was in charge of the country.

It was then that he began to doubt Mei Changsu's identity.

He had vague doubts before, the first time he saw Mei Changsu was also the first time Jingyan saw Mei Changsu.

From then on, when Mei Changsu said every word, the protection of Jingyan between the lines was almost an unconscious behavior, just like he would rub things with his hands when he was thinking about a problem. When Yan Yan, his expression was so gentle that he didn't seem to be talking about his lord.

Mei Changsu said that His Royal Highness Prince Jing is a person who will not bow his head easily. No matter what happens, what burdens he bears, how difficult and painful he is, he will always move forward.

So there must be someone who can help him watch the stones under his feet and the comprehensiveness behind him.

At that time, Tingsheng didn't understand where the guilt in Mr. Su's eyes came from when he said that sentence.

In Mei Changsu's eyes, the original Xiao Jingyan didn't need to understand these things. No matter where he was or which road he took, Lin Shu would always be by his side and walk with him at the same pace. Lin Shu would never let him go. If he falls, no one will hurt him.

It's just that even Mei Changsu, who has predicted everything, would never have expected that now Lin Shu is still around, but Jingyan is still walking alone.

"That's when I knew my father liked hazelnut cakes." Ting Sheng smiled, "Mr. Su usually has two plates of pastries, one is on the table for him to eat, and the other is neatly arranged. Yes, put it on the desk that father will use when he comes."

In this way, the father and son talked intermittently all night.

The painful wound seemed to have been diluted a lot by the past. Looking at the white light of the morning sun coming in from the window, Jingyan said to Tingsheng who had already got up, "Go back."

Before Tingsheng left, he turned around suddenly, "Father, the assassination was never ordered by my father...!"

"I know." Jingyan effortlessly raised his hand to grab his hand and patted it, like all the fathers in the world would do to comfort their children, "Don't worry... there won't be that day, I won't let you There is a dilemma between me and Brother Qi. I have never seen you cry before, and I will do so in the future."

Tingsheng nodded.

Father's expression was normal when he said this
