The owner is you, and this property originally belonged to the Lin family.This reminds me of when you won the victory and returned to the imperial court, you didn’t want anything but a dilapidated mansion of criminal officials..." Dongfang Jihua sneered and described his discovery, with a tone of gnashing of teeth, "So both you and Xing Muyun made peace with each other. The Lin family has deep roots, right? "

Chapter 29

"So what?"

Bai Youlin put away his smile and looked at Dongfang Jihua with gradually colder eyes.

"Don't you find it boring to use the same method as your father? Do you think it's interesting to support new people and suppress old people, and then kill donkeys after the value of old people is completely drained?"

"The method doesn't care if it's old or not, as long as it's useful." Dongfang Jihua didn't think there was anything wrong with his approach, he was born in a deep palace full of intrigues, if he didn't have a second thought, he would probably have died long ago.As long as it is beneficial to him, he doesn't care about sacrificing a few more people.

He looked at Bai Youlin coldly, and said condescendingly, "Aren't you going to be honest about your identity? If you tell the truth and stop lying to me, maybe we still have room for maneuver."

"Between us..." Bai Youlin lowered his eyes, "There is no room."

"Why?" Dongfang Jihua was puzzled, "You don't believe me?"

"My father, master, and elder brother all told me that the heart of an emperor is the most untrustworthy." Bai Youlin closed his eyes, "Your father supported Zhao Zhe to assassinate my elder brother, wronged my second elder brother, and destroyed my whole family. What do you want me to do?" Leave room for you?"

"Father? Brother?" Dongfang Jihua laughed suddenly, "So you are Lin Fengqiu's son, right?"

"Yes." Bai Youlin replied.

"It turns out that there is a sea of ​​blood and deep hatred between us..." Dongfang Jihua lowered his head and murmured in a low voice, "Then I can't help it..."

Bai Youlin curled his lips, he knew what Dongfang Jihua wanted to do next, but he didn't intend to hide.He just stood there straight, allowing Dongfang Jihua who suddenly approached him to pull out Lve Ying and stab him.

The moment the sharp sword entered his body, warm blood splashed on Dongfang Jihua's body, and a large swath of dark red spread from the wound to the surroundings, staining Bai Youlin's white skirt red.

Dongfang Jihua suddenly became flustered, he quickly let go of the hand holding the sword and embraced the precarious Bai Youlin, angrily said: "Why don't you run away!"

"Isn't that why you asked Zhao Zhe to arrange this Hongmen banquet?" Bai Youlin smiled nonchalantly, "From the moment I left the capital, I never thought of going back alive."

"But—" I didn't poison the wine at all...

"I know what the emperor wants to say, the wine is really fine, because you know I will find out, so you give up doing such obvious tricks, don't you?" Bai Youlin saw through Dongfang Jihua's mind with just one glance, but he didn't want to Continue to play this kind of self-deception with the other party.If you didn't do it, you must have moved your heart of compassion?No, it was just because he knew that he would not succeed if he did it, Dongfang Jihua was not innocent.

"Your Majesty, I heard footsteps." Bai Youlin stared at Dongfang Jihua, as if there were bright stars in his eyes.There was a sudden sound of rustling footsteps, and Bai Youlin knew that they were all from Dongfang Jihua.

"Youlin..." Facing such a sharp Bai Youlin, Dongfang Jihua was dumbfounded.

"My name is Lin Yunsheng, Your Majesty." Bai Youlin suddenly became serious, correcting Dongfang Jihua's address sternly, "Lin in the woods, cloud in white clouds, Sheng in Shengxiao, Lin-yun-sheng."

"I said I would protect you and never attack you. I did it." Bai Youlin felt his eyelids getting heavier and his voice became softer, "You saved my life in front of your father back then." Life, now I will give it back to you..."

Listening to Bai Youlin's words, Dongfang Jihua suddenly remembered that when Bai Youlin became famous on the battlefield, the late emperor realized that he was a dangerous factor. He was secretly executed by a secret decree.But he never told anyone about this matter, how did Bai Youlin know about it?

"Brother, I don't owe you anything."

After Dongfang Jihua came back to his senses, he only had time to listen to the last sentence, and then watched Bai Youlin close his eyes.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

"Senior brother..."

Dongfang Jihua, who was staring blankly at Bai Youlin's body, didn't notice the black figure behind him. He didn't wake up until the person in his arms was snatched away. He glared angrily at the back of the man who was trying to take Bai Youlin away, and said angrily: "You What do you want to do? Let me down!"

The man turned his head and glanced lightly at Dongfang Jihua, his eyes were filled with biting coldness, most of his handsome face, which was slightly vicissitudes, was revealed with the change of movements, and Dongfang Jihua's heart was shocked.

"He doesn't belong here, I'll take him where he should go." The man said in a deep and sweet voice that stimulated Dongfang Jihua, "By the way, I took the sword away too, after all, you and your father are not worthy of it." This sword."

"Be your emperor well, those things that make you worry will never appear in this world, because this king is not interested in such things."

As soon as the voice fell, the man in black disappeared, leaving no shadow behind.

Dongfang Jihua stared blankly at the position of the man in black before he disappeared, unable to understand what happened.

The man in black is the true owner of Lve Ying Sword, and also the Ninth Prince who has been missing for many years in Qingguo—Dongfang Yelan.This great hero of the Qing Dynasty reappeared on the land of the Qing Dynasty after many years, took away the most important person of Dongfang Jihua, and took back his sword.

"I'll leave him to you, I hope you will take good care of him."

Dongfang Yelan took Bai Youlin into the woods outside the city, and handed him over to Bailining who had been waiting in the woods.

"Thank you for saving my life, senior." Bailining looked at Dongfang Yelan gratefully.

"Don't thank me, this is what I should do, and I owe them." Dongfang Yelan waved his hand.

"Senior...is that the Ninth Prince of Qing Kingdom?" Seeing that Dongfang Yelan didn't dislike him, Bailining asked tentatively.

From the first time he saw Dongfang Yelan, Bailining felt that Dongfang Yelan was very similar to the portrait hanging in his father's study.

"You know me?" Dongfang Yelan was a little surprised.

"My father often mentions you to me." Bailining explained with a smile.

"So that's the case." Dongfang Yelan smiled calmly, "I didn't expect him to remember me, I thought he had forgotten me a long time ago."

"Well……"

As if he heard the conversation between the two, Bai Youlin resisted the pain and opened his eyes. He slowly turned his head to look at Dongfang Yelan, and asked weakly, "Are you really the Ninth Prince?"

"Yes." Dongfang Yelan replied affirmatively.

"Then, can you answer my father's question now?" Bai Youlin waited for Dongfang Yelan's answer full of hope.

"Of course." Dongfang Yelan looked at Bai Youlin tenderly, "Next time you can tell him directly that I have found his most important person."

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced behind him, and asked with a smile, "Are you right? Dust?"

"Hmm." In the silent woods, a man wearing a moon white gown and looking handsome came out from behind the tree next to Dongfang Yelan.

"You are?" Bai Youlin looked suspiciously at the man who suddenly appeared.

"He is your father's twin brother Bai Yichen, you can call him little uncle." Dongfang Yelan introduced a few words briefly, "I won't say much else, you must know the rules of your Lin family better than me."

Is it the rules of the Lin family?Speaking of this, Bai Youlin suddenly felt a little dazed.

As Dongfang Yelan said, the Lin family has always had an almost absurd rule handed down from their ancestors - twins cannot coexist.The ancestors of the Lin family believed that twins represent misfortune, so they stipulated that if there are twins among the descendants, only one of them can be kept in the family.Under such regulations, survival of the fittest has become the criterion for the Lin family to select the children of the family. The family has specially set an assessment time for this. All twins have to learn various skills since childhood to prepare for the assessment. Once it arrives, there will be a special person in charge of organizing the competition between the two children. In the end, the winner will have the chance to become a full member of the family, while the loser will be transformed into a shadow hiding in the dark or be wiped out directly.

Bai Youlin didn't know about this rule at the beginning, until he was found by the elders of the family and forced to stand on the dueling platform to fight against Lin Yunshen, he realized that he had been kept in the dark by Lin Yunshen.

"Xiao Sheng, the young master of the Lin family is not so easy to be." On the dueling stage, Lin Yun raised his sword and pointed at Bai Youlin, saying so.

Bai Youlin lost, and there was a gap between him and Lin Yunshen ever since. He hated Lin Yunshen for playing himself like a monkey, and he was stubborn and refused to see Lin Yunshen.It wasn't until Lin Yunshen was detained for colluding with foreign enemies that Bai Youlin understood Lin Yunshen's painstaking efforts. The Lin family has always been a deep pool. Lin Yunshen did so much to protect himself. After his defeat, he was able to be so free because of the trade between Lin Yunshen and the family elders. .

"Xiao Sheng, brother hopes that you will live happily ever after." Those were the last words Lin Yunshen said to Bai Youlin.

These are not things to be happy about, Bai Youlin has been hiding them in his heart and dare not touch them.

But seriously, even though he knew that many members of the Lin family were persecuted by this rule, Bai Youlin never imagined that his father was also one of the victims.

"Little uncle?" Bai Youlin stretched out his hand to Bai Yichen with complicated emotions.

This is probably my last relative in this world, right?he thinks.

Bai Yichen stepped forward to hold Bai Youlin's hand, and gently comforted him: "You are not in a good condition now.
