The world is often cruel, and people who care about you will only show you their tender side, but will not let you truly experience its cruelty.
But if you can’t see it, does cruelty not exist?
I can conclude that where my second uncle is going this time is definitely of great importance, even life and death. How can I, a nephew, give up my concern for my relatives and let it go?
Perhaps sensing my seriousness, Nangong Yun was silent for a long time. Then she sighed and said, "Your second uncle is very determined. He doesn't want anyone to interfere in this matter. Even I am not allowed to follow him."
, not to mention you?"
I didn't speak immediately.
Indeed, apart from my parents, my second uncle is the person who cares about me the most and cares about me the most. Although the uncle and nephew rarely meet each other, my ability to grow up to this day is definitely due to my uncle’s huge contribution.
.
Because of this, how can I be willing to let my beloved relatives face difficulties alone?
So I glared back at Nangong Yun again, took a deep breath, and said, Sister Nangong, no matter what, I am looking for my second uncle. You don’t have to tell me where he is. This is your freedom, but
Even if you don't tell me, I will continue to investigate. Isn't the second uncle fighting with people from the Zoroastrian Cult? In the worst case, I will just rush into the Zoroastrian Cult.
"Don't be ridiculous!" Nangong Yun's face changed greatly, and she quickly said that the Zoroastrian Cult is the largest force in the northwest, and its power is so great that not a young guy like you can compete with it. Not to mention you, even if your second uncle led the elite of the General Administration to rush there.
In the northwest, faced with many interceptions and obstructions from the Zoroastrian Cult, they are also in a state of distress. If you go, won't you be sending yourself to death?
I said, okay, please tell me the whereabouts of my second uncle.
Speaking of which, I have made my attitude very clear. Nangong Yun is a very smart woman. She has already understood my heart and knows that she cannot persuade me. She can only sigh and say, little guy, you
Are you really willing to go through fire and water, even to death, for your second uncle?
Of course I am. In my lifetime, the Lin family has withered away, and there are only a handful of relatives left. My second uncle’s affairs are my business.
Nangong Yun smiled instead. She pursed her slightly chapped lips, nodded, and showed me an approving look, saying that from the way I looked at you just now, I thought you were greedy for life and fearful of death, but I didn't expect you to be so bloody.
After saying this, she sighed again. To be honest, I don't agree with your second uncle's plan, but he is a stubborn character. I can't persuade him, but if you come forward, you should be able to pull him back.
.
I said that if that's the case, then don't delay and take me to see my second uncle quickly.
Nangong Yun still shook her head and said, why are you in a hurry? The place where your second uncle went is far away from here. Even if we travel all the way at starry night, we may not be able to get there. Moreover, in the vast desert, if he refuses to take the initiative to show up, how can we people like him do it?
How about catching him out?
I was surprised and said, "Ah? You don't even know his whereabouts?"
Nangong Yun had a headache on her face, put one hand on her forehead and said yes, your second uncle and I did stay together at first, but then we encountered several ambushes, and my leg was injured. Your second uncle saw that I had difficulty moving, so he
Leave me here and let me recover from my injuries and go back...
"This cruel, stinky man, he thought I would be grateful to him, huh!" Speaking of my second uncle, this middle-aged beautiful woman seemed to be gritting her teeth. Half of it was resentment and anger, and the other half was full of resentment.
concern.
Finally, she looked at me and said, "The only way to find your second uncle now is to wait until dawn, sneak into the Zoroastrian cult's branch, grab a few tongues and ask, then we can figure out his exact whereabouts. But..."
At this point, Nangong Yun seemed very hesitant, her eyebrows turned slightly, her eyes fixed on me, Feng Li and others, and she did not continue to speak.
Naturally I understood her concerns and immediately said, "Aunt Nangong, don't worry. Although I am not very capable, these two friends around me are real masters."
"You still don't understand."
Nangong Yun sighed slightly and said with some helplessness, "When you enter the Northwest, no matter how powerful you are, it will be useless. A strong dragon cannot overwhelm the local snakes. The Zoroastrian Cult has been operating here for hundreds of years, and its forces have long been intertwined. If you go against them head-on,
, what you need to face is not just face-to-face battles, all kinds of overt and covert attacks, and conspiracies will also follow."
Feng Li took a step forward and said, "As for the name of Zoroastrian Cult, I have heard a lot about it, but some of them have not had the opportunity to see it. Since it is not easy to come to the Northwest, it will be worthwhile to get close to them more."
OK."
Chen Xuanyi also expressed his thoughts, "Yes, the Zoroastrian Cult is raging in the northwest and has long been a thorn in the side of the Central Plains Taoists. If we can take the opportunity to teach them a lesson, the younger generation will also be happy to see it happen."
Jianghu people pay attention to grudges and grudges as they please, and they are straightforward. Too many worries are not beautiful.
Feng Li and Chen Xuanyi both understood the righteousness well and understood my hard pursuit of my second uncle. They had long been prepared for a last-ditch battle.
"Okay, where is your station? Let's rest for the night and make plans tomorrow!" Nangong Yun seemed to be infected by the enthusiasm of us young people, and nodded, looking pleased.
I immediately said to An Liman, "Brother An Liman, could you please go back and bring the car over? It's windy and sandy outside, so let's spend the night in the canyon tonight."
"Okay!" An Liman did not refuse, he immediately nodded and ran to start the car.
As soon as he left, Nangong Yun leaned towards me and whispered in my ear, "Lin Feng, didn't your second uncle say that you have not joined the Religious Affairs Bureau? How could you get involved with the comrades of the Northwest Bureau and work together?"
action?"
I smiled bitterly, turned around and responded, "Aunt Nangong, this matter is a long story."
Then, we set up a bonfire on the spot, and then I told in detail how I learned about the whereabouts of my second uncle in Shenzhen, how I went to Xi'an, and the many deeds I experienced in Ci'en Temple.
After listening to my story, Nangong Yun's expression turned extremely ugly. She lowered her head and continued with some hesitation, "Ouchi Mr. Chen has always been incompatible with your old man. Why did he take the initiative to remind you this time and let you go far away?"
What about the northwest?”
I feel puzzled too.
When I first saw Councilor Chen, I felt strongly targeted. The people under his command had a very bad attitude toward me and Chen Xuanyi. This may not have been due to the master's instructions.
But this old guy finally took the initiative to tell me the whereabouts of my second uncle. The tricks were really puzzling. Secondly, as soon as Chen Xuan and I arrived in Xi'an, we were immediately monitored by the Guangfuhui. With all these things, it was hard not to be confused.
People feel doubtful.
Is there any secret operation behind all these events?
I didn't join the power department, and I didn't know the dirty tricks behind it. On the contrary, Nangong Yun, as an important member of the General Administration, had already seen the dirty things clearly. She whispered to me, "Those big officials in the General Administration
There is harmony between the two men on the surface, but behind the scenes there are undercurrents and all kinds of overt and covert struggles."
My old man is not currently in Kyoto, so he has no say in the court. He may not be able to understand what Chen Gong and his gang are planning. This time, Chen Guowei took the initiative to reveal the information about his second uncle to me. I am afraid he may not have any good intentions.
