"yes."
Lin Xingchu's answer was simple. He smiled and said, "Let's go. I've already ordered someone to prepare a table of delicacies. You've been tossing me all afternoon and I'm tired and hungry..."
"I'm okay."
As soon as the young man finished speaking, his stomach growled unsatisfactorily, and he suddenly felt embarrassed.
Lin Xingchu didn't point it out and continued to lead the way with a smile.
…
Above the main hall, there are dozens of plates of delicacies on a large carved table, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, swimming on the ground, and everything else. Naturally, a "bumpkin" like Lin Zhao on the snowy Tianchi will take a look at it immediately.
Dazzled.
"Empress!"
A maid said: "Since your Majesty is hosting a banquet with distinguished guests today, do you need to invite those river gods and tiger kings to come over?"
"Need not."
Lin Xingchu shook his head and smiled: "Today is a family dinner. It's just me and Lin Zhao. You guys... don't stand around. Grab a stool, find a pair of chopsticks, sit down together, and drink with me and Lin Zhao."
A group of maids were surprised, and immediately obeyed the order and filled the table. However, none of them dared to speak loudly and just kept company.
"Lin Zhao!"
Lin Xingchu looked at him and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained, you can eat whatever you want?"
"Um!"
Lin Zhao nodded: "Thank you, Lord Jiangshen!"
"Still called Lord Jiang Shen?"
Lin Xingchu and Liwo smiled slightly, pretending to be displeased, and said: "You and I are originally from the same ancestry. I was only over thirty when I died in the battle, so there is no need to be so restrained. How about... I
I accept you as a junior, you can just call me aunt from now on, and I can call you Xiao Zhao, what do you think?"
"ah?"
Lin Zhao was confused. This Lady Jiang Shen was really unreasonably enthusiastic. However, the boy could also feel Lin Xingchu's sincerity. Otherwise, why would a Lady Jiang Shen treat him like this? After all, Xijianjiang was very important on the map.
It is very long, perhaps the largest river in the Shang Dynasty. The status of the Xijian River River God can be imagined. Among the many landscape gods, most of them are first-class, even better than Su Shanjun on Tianchi Mountain.
God's status is even higher.
"Why, you don't want to?" Lin Xingchu asked with a smile.
"Not really..."
Lin Zhao scratched his head: "I just feel that I have reached a higher level, and I am a little embarrassed..."
Lin Xingchu chuckled: "What's so high-spirited? I'm originally from the same lineage of the Lin family, from the same ancestry. It's too much to call me aunt?"
"Not too much."
Although Lin Zhao was a little embarrassed to say it, he still had the courage to call out: "Auntie!"
"Well, be good!"
Lin Xingchu chuckled and said, "Finally...I have a relative in this world."
Lin Zhaonu pursed her lips: "From now on, my aunt is also my only relative."
"..."
Lin Xingchu pursed her red lips and looked a little moved. She didn't know Lin Zhao's experience, and she didn't want to pry into Lin Zhao's state of mind. But from Lin Zhao's appearance and eyes, she could still tell that the young man must have suffered a lot.
It’s not easy to even survive till now, so he smiled and said: “Okay, let’s eat food, eat food. These cooks like me were famous local chefs when they were alive. I made an appointment with them before they died.
,Isn’t this...as soon as they die, I will take them over and grant them the title of Yin God..."
Lin Zhao laughed and ate vegetables and drank wine with her aunt.
One drink after another, in the end, the boy was drunk, and Lin Xingchu was also tipsy. In fact, how could a Jiang Shen empress be drunk? Impossible, she had long been on the road, and a mere drink meant nothing to her.
Calculate.
…
Late at night, Lin Xingchu took Lin Zhao out of the water to look at the moonlight outside.
A boat floats along the river.
Lin Zhao was sitting on the bow of the boat, holding a pot of wine from the cave in his hand, drinking wine and looking at the moonlight. He missed his parents, Xiao Jiuer, Xiao Shitou, Mr. Qin, Chen Yu, and also missed his senior brothers and sisters.
I miss those who are important to me.
Lin Xingchu stood at the stern of the boat, his body shining with golden light.
"aunt."
Lin Zhao looked at the river and said, "Why is the Xijian River called the Xijian River, and why is the murderous spirit in the river so strong?"
"Well..."
Lin Xingchu smiled and asked, "Do you really want to listen?"
"Well, I want to listen!"
"Then listen carefully, it may be different from the general history of the dynasty you know."
"oh!"
Lin Zhao sat upright, waiting very seriously to hear the old events from many years ago.
…
Lin Xingchu raised his hand, pointed lightly at the river, and said with a smile: "Back then, the Purgatory Legion was attacked and destroyed by the army led by the human commander Ding Muchen. When the human race thought that they would no longer have enemies, they did not expect that there were still four tribes dormant deep in the northern polar region.
, when the army of monsters and demons rolls southward, as the Duke of Xingchu of the Xia Dynasty who is in charge of the northern gate, I can only lead the army to fight to the death."
She lowered her eyebrows, slightly sentimental, and said: "In front of this Sword Washing River, I led 800,000 soldiers of the Xia Clan to fight the main force of the Demon Clan in a bloody battle. We fought fiercely during the day, and at night we washed off the sword blades in this river.
There are bloodstains and stains, and under the fierce attack of the demon clan, my soldiers died in batches, and many of them were buried in the river. Therefore, this river... has 800,000 heroic souls of the Xia clan, and there are countless
Soaked in the blood of countless humans, monsters, and demons, it was named the Xijian River. This is why this river is so murderous and murderous, because it was originally a battlefield."
Lin Zhao frowned: "The general history I read said that the Great Shang Dynasty defeated the Xia Clan's 500,000 cavalry on the frontal battlefield. After that, the Xia Clan was in ruins, and its territory was eroded by the Great Shang. In the end, the Great Shang unified the world.
.”
"It's just lies."
Lin Xingchu opened his mouth and did not want to refute anything. He just murmured: "From the moment the war started, our Xia clan's sword has been facing north, never south. More than one million Xia clan soldiers have fallen in the sea of blood.
At that time, the war had completely depleted the Xia people's national destiny and strength, hungry people were everywhere, and rebel armies were everywhere. At that time, the great merchants came from the south, recruited the rebels along the way, captured an ownerless Bailu City, and even conquered the Bailu City.
Lucheng was renamed Baidi City, and it became the current capital of Dashang."
"I see!"
Lin Zhao stood up suddenly, with a youthful spirit, and threw the empty wine jar fiercely. The wine jar immediately crackled on the water and rolled far away.
"Angry?"
Lin Xingchu smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Zhao, there is no justice in this world...Does justice really exist in people's hearts? How many people have been deceived by a piece of history book? Where is the justice?"
"What now?"
Lin Zhao was full of energy, but he really felt that it was meaningless and powerless. He turned to look at Lin Xingchu and said, "How is my aunt now? What keeps her going?"
Lin Xingchu smiled warmly, gently raised the blade of his sword and pointed towards the south, saying: "Xiao Zhao, from the Xijian River to the Fusu Great Wall, it is more than a thousand miles away. Do you know why the main force of the demon clan has never been able to reach Fusu for so many years?
Great Wall?"
"Why?"
"because……"
The Empress Jiang Shen, who was once a famous general, was so high-spirited at this time. As she pointed her sword, the entire land seemed to be affected. Wisps of blood-colored light rose into the sky, connecting into wisps of restrictions in the sky and earth.
The whole world is enveloped in it.
Lin Xingchu smiled slightly and said: "Because although the millions of heroes of our Xia tribe have died, their souls are immortal. They may be guarding an ancient battlefield or hiding among the mountains and rivers to slay demons when they encounter them.
Even as a heroic soul, I am guarding this world and this home!"
Lin Zhao looked far into the distance, and he could sense many existences in the realm of Six Realm Warriors. For a moment, his blood surged in his chest, and he felt more respect for the Xia clan that had perished, and he felt more love for the aunt in front of him.
, it turns out that my aunt is also so unparalleled in the world!
Washing the Jianjiang River has become an indelible mark in the young man's heart.
…
It was night, and Lin Zhao was resting at Jiangshen's mansion.
Early the next morning, Lin Xingchu sent him back to the wooden house. The young man was practicing boxing by the river, absorbing the military spirit of attacking, and stopped drawing talismans. Lin Xingchu was not far away to accompany him. It was not easy to have such a nephew, Lin Xingchu
I would rather put aside all Jiang Shen's official duties and spend more time with him.
So, at noon, Lin Xingchu personally roasted a wild boar for Lin Zhao. He was busy for a long time. After roasting the wild boar, the young man sat down and feasted, praising his aunt for her good craftsmanship. Lin Xingchu smiled slightly, turned around and pointed his finger, giving the order.
A landowner.
"I heard that you conspired with Huang Guyu to kill my Xiao Zhao?"
The way Empress Jiang Shen narrowed her beautiful eyes and spoke was very beautiful, but she also had a very murderous look.
The landowner hurriedly kowtows: "No, no, no, the little god has been trying to persuade the evil beast, but the yellow bone fish is too bad and refuses to listen. The little god is of low level, and I am afraid he will kill him. Please ask the empress."
Mingjian!"
"I do know clearly!"
Empress Jiang Shen raised her hand and slapped him, sending him rolling for dozens of miles: "So I know you didn't even say a word of advice...if you still don't, why don't you get back here?"
The Earth God suddenly rolled back, and Empress Jiang Shen kicked him so hard that the golden body was cracked.
"Your Majesty, you have such nice legs!"
The flying Tuigong kept praising him.
Lin Xingchu frowned: "Go away. If you make a mistake next time, I will kill you directly."
"Okay, my dear!"
The Earth God leaned down and rushed into the ground, never daring to show his face again.
…
"Um!?"
Lin Xingchu turned around slowly, as if he sensed something. Then, a voice came from far in the air that made Lin Zhao feel somewhat familiar. The voice was soft and pleasant.
"Lin Xingchu, eat my Su Fu sword?!"
A ray of sword light came from the north. It was a sword struck by Su Shanjun from the snow-covered Tianchi. The sword light had already weakened by at least half when it arrived at the Xijian River.
"oh?"
Lin Xingchu raised his snowy leg, stepped on the opponent's sword energy into the ground with a "Peng" sound, and said with a smile: "After so many years, you are still so angry? Hundreds of years have passed. Let's just let go of the matter of Xiaolingyuan. It's not like that.
I, Lin Xingchu, ordered the destruction, are you still being reasonable?"
The other party said: "Su Fu of Tianchi Mountain welcomes Duke Xingchu to visit the snowy Tianchi at any time!"
Lin Xingchu raised his lips: "Wait!"
Lin Zhao stood up holding a pig leg: "Actually, Mr. Su Shan is not a bad person. Auntie, please give me some face."
"Yeah..."
Lin Xingchu turned around and said with a smile: "Since Xiao Zhao is speaking, I must give him face, otherwise he may be very embarrassed today. A Galaxy Realm Tiger, I don't know where he got the courage to ask a sword with a Twelve Realm River God
