"Xilin, I'm sorry, it's all me who has caused you trouble!"
Lin Xiao murmured to himself, the muscles in his cheeks tensed, and he completely failed to notice that on a small boat not far away, there was a man wearing a black robe and a hood, covering his face.
There was a cold murderous look in his eyes, and he was staring at her.
"Xilin! Xilin!"
The more Lin Xiao thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. She shouted Yu Xilin's name into the dark sea and kicked the deck to vent her anger, hoping to dispel her inner uneasiness.
However, her mood could never calm down.
In this life, she finally owes Yu Xilin her life, and if she has the chance, she will pay it back no matter what!
"Xilin."
Tears fell from the corners of Lin Xiao's eyes, dripping on the cold deck, splashing a few water splashes, and disappearing on the dark sea.
On the side, Esther's eyes couldn't help but turn red when he looked at this scene. He had never seen Lin Xiao like this before, and he felt extremely distressed.
Lin Xiao has always been a strong, optimistic, philanthropic, and heroic person.
However, now she seemed to have been drained of all her strength, as weak as a piece of paper, fluttering in the wind, as if it would break with just a slight fold.
"The head of the Lin family..."
Esther's throat was a little choked.
He wanted to comfort Lin Xiao, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only stay by her side silently.
…
Three days later, their ship finally reached the east coast.
As soon as the ship docked, Li Yuyan immediately gathered around to see if there was any news about Lin Xiao.
For more than a year, he has been guarding the east coast. Whenever a ship comes, whether it is a search and rescue ship sent by the court or a fishing boat of the common people, he will rush to check the situation immediately, for fear of missing it.
Any news about Lin Xiao!
When he saw Esther, who had brown hair and a high nose, disembarking from the boat, his expectant expression dimmed instantly.
How could they, a group of outsiders, have news about Lin Xiao?!
Just when Li Yuyan turned to leave dejectedly, a familiar figure came into view, making his heart suddenly stop!
Lin Xiao!
It’s Lin Xiao!
She has come back!
She is finally back!
Lin Xiao was wearing a simple civilian outfit and looked very haggard.
Her eye sockets were sunken, her face was pale, and her originally dark and bright eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, like a soldier who had just returned from the battlefield.
Lin Xiao also saw Li Yuyan, her lips moved, but before she could say anything, tears fell first!
After not seeing each other for a year, Li Yuyan seems to be a lot darker than before, a lot thinner, and his face is also much sharper!
"Axiao..."
"Yu Yan..."
Li Yuyan looked at Lin Xiao and was so excited that his tears couldn't stop flowing!
Lin Xiao fell into Li Yuyan's arms and burst into tears. She hugged Li Yuyan's waist, and her crying sound spread through every inch of space.
Li Yuyan felt Lin Xiao's body trembling slightly. He hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to give her the warmest embrace.
His palms caressed Lin Xiao's back and comforted him softly:
"Axiao, don't be afraid, everything is over."
"Well! It's passed, everything has passed..."
Lin Xiao lay on Li Yuyan's shoulder and cried. She kept nodding her head, nodding heavily while shedding tears.
"I will never let you leave me again! Do you know, if you don't come back, I will even decide to go to sea to find you myself!"
Li Yuyan's words were a little hoarse, but his eyes were as fiery as ever.
Lin Xiao struggled out of Li Yuyan's arms, wiped the tears from her face, pulled him up, and forced him to look at her:
"Yuyan, let's go into the cabin, I have something very important to tell you!"
Lin Xiao and Li Yuyan sat side by side in the cabin. Lin Xiao recounted everything he had experienced in the past year, especially the underground palace of the Ming Dynasty and the speculation about the relationship between the lord and Wang Tuo.
It must be vivid and lifelike.
"Your guess makes sense!"
Li Yuyan pondered for a moment and then said:
"Since the Chen family in the capital was forced to survive by Wang Tuo, Wang Tuo's power has expanded to the point where even the emperor is afraid of him. If we don't find a way to get rid of him, I'm worried that it will get worse in the future!"
"So what should we do?"
Lin Xiao clenched his fists and asked.
After parting through life and death, she cherishes every minute and every second she spends with Li Yuyan at this moment.
She doesn't want the person she likes to get hurt in the slightest!
"We have to find a way to dismantle the power of Wang Tuo, an old man, bit by bit."
Li Yuyan's eyes flashed with a sinister light, and his eyes shone with excitement and bloodthirsty.
Now that Lin Xiao has returned safely, he is dead and decadent, leaving only a crazy careerist.
He wants to completely destroy Wang Tuo in the shortest possible time, and then take everything he has as his own!
"The main reason why the Chen family was so easily defeated by Wang Tuo was because they had no heirs of their own. Their current so-called heirs are all wild children adopted from outside."
"Um?"
When Li Yuyan heard what Lin Xiao said, some monks who were two feet tall were confused and didn't quite understand what Lin Xiao meant.
"As the saying goes, a hungry camel is bigger than a horse, and a broken ship still has three thousand nails. If the Chen family rises again, do you think it is possible to dismantle Wang Tuo's power?"
Lin Xiao squinted his eyes, and a playful and cunning smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"But... you just said that the Chen family has no heirs..."
"They have heirs, but they are just a lineage that was driven out by the Chen family many years ago, but they are indeed the blood of the Chen family!"
The curvature of the corners of Lin Xiao's mouth became deeper and deeper, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.
"real?"
Li Yuyan was a little surprised, but his eyes were filled with joy.
“Realer than real gold!”
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, looking confident.
"who is it?"
"It's okay to tell you. I hope you can promise me one thing. After Wang Tuo is overthrown, can you come back to Linjiacun with me and live a good life? Yu Xilin is no longer here, and I don't want you to leave me too!"
Lin Xiao stared at Li Yuyan, his eyes shining brightly.
Li Yuyan's heart moved. He lowered his head and looked at Lin Xiao:
"I promise you."
Whether you agree or not is another matter.
He must avenge his father and mother's concubine!
"I knew you would agree! When the time comes, we will live our own lives, rich and happy, just like Shen Jia and the others!"
Lin Xiao's mood suddenly soared, sweeping away the depression he had felt just now.
Li Yuyan rubbed Lin Xiao's hair lovingly.
Lin Xiao's smile was particularly bright in the dark cabin, making people unable to bear to reject her.
…
News of Lin Xiao's safe return soon spread to the palace.
When Princess Li Xianxian, who was on hunger strike in Fengzao Palace, heard the news, she jumped up and pulled Lan Lian, who was waiting by the side, into a circle.
"Lan Lian, did you hear that, my husband is fine! He is back!"
Lan Lian also cried with joy and kept nodding:
"He's back! The boss has finally returned safely! I knew that he had his own destiny, and he would definitely return safely!"
