After Su Qinghou finished drinking tea, Lin Yi also arrived at the South Courtyard.
Lin Yi first settled his seriously injured mother. Although Qu Wuhui hadn't arrived yet, Xiao Lianqin had already invited Xu Lei, a famous doctor from the southern border. Xu Lei did not dare to neglect and hurriedly examined and treated Li Yan. His two apprentices also hurriedly
Treat many injured.
Several families and horses led by Lin Yi were also properly placed.
Lin Yi knew that Su Qinghou was waiting for them in the gathering hall, so he went to the gathering hall with Su Jin'er, Zhou Liang and Zeng Tengyun.
Meimei and Wei Jiangping are only members of the Southern Alliance, not the alliance, so they rest in their resettlement place first. It is inconvenient for them to participate in the affairs of the Southern Alliance.
On the way to the gathering hall, Su Jiner returned home as happy as a happy bird.
The last time she came back, it was Li Tianlang who accompanied her to get some things. At that time, Su Jin'er felt sad and helpless when faced with the enemy surrendering in the South Courtyard and becoming a pawn of the North Mansion. The South Courtyard was still the South Courtyard, and everything was the same as before, but the South Courtyard was no longer the same at that time.
It was her home again. When Su Jin'er left sadly, she thought she would never come back again.
It was so amazing how things had changed. Lin Yi was not dead, and Xiao Lianqin was not dead either. They were both back. And her father was safe and sound and back. These three people she loved the most gave Nanyuan to her again.
She took it back. The South Courtyard became her warmest home again.
Su Jin'er's joy at this moment is difficult to express in words.
She bounces like a little girl when she walks, and laughs sweetly from time to time.
Lin Yi and others rushed to the gathering hall, Xiao Lianqin met them, and then walked with them. They passed through a long corridor, and when they were about to enter the courtyard, Xiao Lianqin said loudly: "The King of the South, Lin Yi, is here!"
Lin Yi understood that this was Xiao Lianqin establishing his dignity in front of everyone in the south courtyard.
So Lin Yi entered the courtyard, and everyone in the south courtyard cheered in unison. When they saw Su Jin'er, they even burst into cheers.
Su Jin'er also greeted everyone excitedly and happily.
Lin Yi entered the hall, and the disciples from the south courtyard in the hall also paid tribute to him.
Su Qinghou stood up from his seat and said to Lin Yi solemnly: "Su Qinghou of the South Campus has met King Lin."
It was obvious that Su Qinghou was also praising Lin Yi in person. Su Qinghou had already started to cultivate Lin Yi two years ago and slowly established Lin Yi's prestige. If the situation hadn't changed too much later, Lin Yi would now be Su Qinghou.
Qinghou's Chenglong is about to have a son-in-law.
Lin Yi said: "Master Hou, there is no need to be so polite, it will upset me."
Su Qinghou said sternly: "Nothing can break the rules. You are the king of the South now, and I am the master of the South Courtyard and am your subordinate. So the rules cannot be broken."
Lin Yi said: "While Lord Marquis is away, for the sake of convenience, I will temporarily become the King of the Southern Territory. Now that Lord Marquis is back, of course I have to give up the title of King of the Southern Territory. Lord Marquis, you are the one everyone expects."
Su Qinghou did not respond in public, but he used a secret message to say to Lin Yi: "Lin Yi, others don't know what happened to me, but you know it in your heart. Not only is my memory damaged, but I am also physically and mentally exhausted from all this. I can't do it anymore."
You are suitable to continue to be the King of the South. I will help you in secret. But you went to the North Mansion to rescue Jin'er alone, fought against many masters of the North Mansion alone, and regained the South this time. Your reputation is now at its peak. You are more suitable to be the King of the South than me. Let
Don’t mention the matter of position again.”
Lin Yi also used voice transmission to enter the secret passage: "Lin Yi obeys the order."
Su Qinghou nodded, then he glanced at everyone in the south courtyard and said: "I know you are all wondering why there has been no news from me in the past two years. Today I will tell you that after the battle with Lin Tianshu at Taibai Mountain, I returned
On the south road, we encountered another ambush in the north. This battle was very brutal. Chen En and Leng Chanfeng were also killed. I was even seriously injured. It was Lin Yi and Wang Huihui who risked their lives to lead me out of the encirclement... Even though we broke through.
, but my injury was too serious and it will take a long time to recover. In order to avoid the pursuit in the north, we found a remote place far away from the Central Plains to recuperate..."
After listening to Su Qinghou's words, everyone understood why Su Qinghou had been missing for more than two years.
Su Qinghou paused and continued: "As for Gu Lingfeng leading the South Campus to surrender without a fight, in fact he had no choice but to protect the South Campus. Gu Lingfeng contributed a lot to regaining the South Campus this time, and it can be regarded as a meritorious service. However, he was responsible for leading the army back then.
He went to Beifu, and in the past two years, he had done many things against his will for Beifu. He felt guilty. Firstly, this knot was difficult to solve for a while. Secondly, Gu Lingfeng was tired of fighting in the world, so he retired from the world and lived an ordinary life.
Life is gone. So you don’t have to worry about it..."
As soon as Lin Yi heard this, he knew in his heart that this was Su Qinghou trying to protect Gu Lingfeng.
Yes, Gu Lingfeng is Su Qinghou's most proud disciple. The most proud disciple did something unethical with his master's wife, and betrayed his master and fellow apprentices. If this scandal spreads, Su Qinghou's face will be lost.
And Su Qinghou is a person who always regards reputation as life.
No wonder Xiao Lianqin didn't let him interfere with Gu Lingfeng's affairs.
Indeed, this matter can only be resolved by Xiao Lianqin and Su Qinghou.
So there are some things in this world that must be made public so that the truth can be revealed. And some things must be concealed so that no one knows. So, at this time, lies become the truth. And lies are sometimes worse than the truth.
Easier to accept.
Lin Yi also decided in his heart that he would never mention anything about Gu Lingfeng's betrayal of everyone back then. Now that Gu Lingfeng has left the world to live an ordinary life, it will save him the embarrassment of facing Gu Lingfeng again. And Lin Yi also knows in his heart that Gu Lingfeng
"Leave" also has a hidden meaning.
Su Qinghou continued: "Although I have recovered a lot in the past two years, I have not yet completely recovered. So I have to rest and recover, and it will be difficult for me to continue to take charge of various matters in the South Hospital. So I announced
, now I pass the position of the head of the South Campus to Su Jin'er. From now on, you must be as loyal to Su Jin'er as you are loyal to me, do you understand?!"
Since Su Qinghou has to continue to recuperate, everyone can understand. They also hope that Su Qinghou can rest quietly and completely recover from his injuries. It is only natural that Su Qinghou passes the title of head of the South Academy to his daughter.
Everyone said in unison: "We must be loyal to Miss! Just like we are loyal to the Marquis..."
Su Qinghou held the daughter's hand beside him. His eyes were full of warmth and he said: "Jin'er, dad will leave the South Courtyard to you. Dad needs to have a good rest."
Su Jin'er said: "Dad, I will try my best to live up to my father's high expectations. Dad, please take a good rest."
At this time, Xiao Lianqin whispered something in Su Qinghou's ear, as if to remind him of something.
Su Qinghou then added: "One more thing is that my wife's mother has been seriously ill recently, and she has taken Bixi back to visit her. She will be gone for a while, and during this period, the affairs of the female family members in the mansion will be left to Chen Ma."
Everyone nodded.
Little did they know that Madam had been forced to commit suicide. Bi Xi was also killed by Gu Lingfeng.
Bi Xi's body has been cleaned up by Xiao Lianqin's men.
Su Qinghou explained everything clearly, patted his daughter's hand. He looked at Lin Yi with a meaningful look, and then walked out of the hall. Lin Yi and Su Jin'er sent Su Qinghou off, and everyone also sent Su Qinghou off respectfully.
Xiao Lianqin followed the master.
Like the shadow of Su Qinghou, he will always be loyal.
