In an inn in the inner city of Lin'an County, Lin Xiao first placed a cloth bag on the table, and then placed several banknotes with a face value of one thousand in front of Yan Xiangge.
"This is Cao Huang's head. These banknotes were found from Cao Huang's body." Lin Xiao stared at Yan Xiange's eyes and said softly: "Take them and leave Kunning County with Xiao Que'er to prevent them from happening. Accident."
Yan Xiangge immediately understood the meaning of Lin Xiao's words.
Cao Huang was dead and his head was chopped off. The Cao family will definitely know. The difference is only a matter of time. As soon as the Cao family knows, they will immediately trace it. Even if Lin Xiao throws Cao Huang into the forest and is eaten by wild beasts, his body will be destroyed. If the traces are eliminated, the Cao family might be able to track down some clues.
Of course, it would be difficult to find out who was killed by Lin Xiao, and there is no direct evidence. At best, it is just speculation. But if Yan Ronge and Xiao Queer are found out, the two of them will inevitably be in danger again, and maybe they will. Being caught and tortured would have disastrous consequences.
The best thing is to leave Lin'an and Kunning County overnight, as far as possible, and stay away from this place before the Cao family can react, so that even if the Cao family finds any clues, they will not be able to find the two of them.
Xiao Que'er still has the ability to forge externally, and Yan Zhuge's inner energy has been abolished, but the muscles and bones are not damaged. He also has the ability to forge externally, so he can still protect himself more or less. At least traveling long distances will not be a problem.
"Evil thief, you also have today." Yan Yange opened the cloth bag, looked at Cao Huang's frightened face, and immediately cursed. After a while, he calmed down and looked at Lin Xiao: "Thank you, what happens next Xiaoque'er and I will do a good job, you don't have to worry."
Looking at Yan Lige's still chivalrous face, Lin Xiao nodded, said goodbye, and took away Cao Huang's head to dispose of it to avoid any accidents.
The late night was cold and quiet as water, and Lin Xiao exhaled a long breath.
"Cao Huang is dead and this matter ends here."
"Cao family..."
Uproot the Cao family?
Lin Xiao has never thought about it this way, nor does he feel that he has such qualifications. Even if he is a martial arts master, he is not qualified to judge whether a family can exist at will, unless the family does what Cao Huang did.
Will the Cao family know?
have no idea.
Maybe there must be some nastiness in it, but where there is light there is shadow. Wherever there is no nastiness, there is it even in the Zhenwu Division. Not to mention other things, just Iron Wall, is it just a nastiness?
Kill Tiebi?
Can't do it.
Lin Xiao actually wanted to be alone and live his own life, leisurely and happy, unrestrained and unfettered, free and at ease.
It’s just helpless that there is too much injustice and oppression in this world. Sometimes I experience it personally or encounter it, and I have to stand up and resist.
Contribute to the world?
That also requires the ability to help the world, and Lin Xiao thinks he can't do it now.
So, how can we help the world at the same time?
Being in a high position, setting the rules and asking others to abide by them.
The more I thought about it, the more messy and disorganized the thoughts in my mind became. I couldn't think of a reason. I didn't want to think about it anymore. I simply didn't think about it anymore. Lin Xiao suddenly smiled. He was eating pickles and eating rich people's steamed buns. Not having enough to eat is ridiculous.
…
Cao Huang's body was fed to wild animals in the mountains of the northern suburbs, while his head was taken to the eastern suburbs by Lin Xiao and thrown into the river to raise fish. Even if the Cao family had the ability, it would be impossible to find it. At least it would give the Cao family a headache. quite a while.
In Zhou Mansion, Lin Xiao was sitting on the roof, staring at the bright moon in the sky in a daze. There was a jar of wine beside him, and Yuan Wu was sitting opposite, sipping wine.
"Uncle Junior Master, what's on your mind? Let me tell you." Yuan Wu finished pouring the drink, wiped his mouth, and said carelessly.
"Master's nephew, you have traveled to many places, and you must have encountered injustices. How should you deal with them?" Lin Xiao asked.
"It's unfair, we really encountered a lot." Yuan Wu was slightly startled, not expecting Lin Xiao to ask this, but still laughed and responded: "How else to deal with it, I don't know if I haven't seen it, I heard
It’s hard to tell the truth from falsehood. If you see it with your own eyes, you can take care of it. If you can’t, just forget it. There’s nothing to worry about.”
One sentence reflects the difference between Yuan Wu and Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao is the kind of person who will always think about him when he sees someone he can't control. Yuan Wu doesn't seem to be the same.
Of course, this may also have something to do with experience. When you experience more and see more, your ideas may change.
"Uncle Junior, actually you should go out and get out of here. Lin'an is too small and Kunning is not big. Tianhe Ryu pursues unfettered freedom. This is the case for every generation of Tianhe Ryu's descendants." Yuanwu said.
: "Go out and explore a wider world. Then you may be able to get answers to all your questions."
"Are you worried about Azheng?" Yuanwu continued: "Actually, there is no need to worry. I will stay here for a while, at least a few years. In a few years, Azheng will also grow up. In addition, little
Uncle Master, you can’t treat Ah Zheng like a child all the time.”
An elder brother is like a father, especially when both parents are away.
As the elder brother, Lin Xiao has always cared about his father, and parents will always feel that their children have not grown up yet.
"Go out..." Lin Xiao's heart was moving, and the feeling of wanting to break free became stronger and stronger. He broke free, spread his wings, and fought against the sky, like a crane that day.
…
The New Year has come, and this is the time for the family to gather around the table. This is the case for every household. However, some families are alone and have no company to accompany them. They can only be alone, while other people are busy with lights and colorful decorations.
The Cao family prepared a large New Year's Eve dinner. Most of the people were there, but Cao Huang was missing.
"Where is Huang'er? Where did he go again? Don't you know what day it is today?" the head of the Cao family said angrily.
"Master, we have sent people to look for him. They should be back soon." Cao Huang's biological mother said immediately.
They still don't know that Cao Huang will never come back.
…
In Zhoufu, the inner city of Lin'an County, veteran foodie Yuan Wu cooked a large table of delicacies, and Lin Jiangfeng was also invited. As for Xiao Tianyu, he rushed back to Kunning County.
"Brother, can I drink?" Zhou Zheng looked at the wine cups filled with wine in front of Lin Xiao, Yuan Wu and Lin Jiangfeng, and asked cautiously.
Lin Xiao was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but suddenly thought of what Yuan Wu had said, and after a slight pause, he spoke again: "You can try again after the New Year's Eve next year."
At that time, Zhou Zheng was about to be fifteen years old. In this world, fifteen years old is actually considered a grown-up. There are many people who get married and have children. I can't always treat Zhou Zheng like a child who has not grown up.
Zhou Zheng was actually prepared to be scolded by Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao's answer was unexpected. He was startled at first, and then smiled happily.
It was a...well...a feeling that is difficult to express clearly in words. If it were not to be expressed accurately, it would be like an affirmation.
Seeing Zhou Zheng's smile, Lin Xiao suddenly reflected on whether he had been too... strict with Zhou Zheng in the past...
Yes, it should be stricter.
The New Year's Eve dinner was very sumptuous, and Lin Jiangfeng was also very happy. Lin Xiao's initiative to invite him showed that his attitude was changing and he was accepting the fact that he was a member of the Lin family. This was a good thing.
"Commander, after tonight, I'm going to the East Pole." After having a full meal, Lin Xiao was slightly tipsy but not drunk, and said to Lin Jiangfeng.
Lin Xiao initially wanted to resign from the Zhenwu Division, but then he realized that he still owed Lin Division several thousand meritorious service, so he just resigned and left without having to pay back.
What should we do? Lin Xiao himself doesn't know what will happen when he goes to the East Pole, and he doesn't know when he will come back. Many times, plans often fail to keep up with changes.
"First apply for a leave of absence." Lin Jiangfeng said.
If you take a leave of absence, you will keep your position, but you don’t have to report it. Of course, you won’t get a monthly salary, but you can continue to serve when you come back later.
This result is the best. Of course, if Lin Xiao and Lin Jiangfeng don't have a special relationship, it would be impossible to apply for an indefinite leave of absence.
"I wonder what next year's New Year's Eve dinner will be like?" Lin Xiao secretly guessed.
There are no guarantees in the world. Maybe there will be more people at next year's New Year's Eve dinner, such as Brother Ax, the cheap chef, etc.
Lin Jiangfeng did not spend the night here, but returned to the Zhenwu Division. He usually lived in the Zhenwu Division, which was more convenient for handling affairs. In case of an emergency, he would not be unable to find anyone.
Tonight, Lin Xiao did not sleep. With his strong physique, the cultivation of a true warrior, and his ability to control gods, even if he stayed up for several days and nights, it would not have any impact.
After a little tidying up, it will be time to leave tomorrow.
Feeling the movement of the imperial law, the divine power spreads out, sensing everything around him, and listening to Zhou Zheng's even breathing as he sleeps.
I don’t know how long it will take for this separation to take place, and when I come back, I don’t know what happened to the child Azheng.
There was a slight sound of wind. Yuan Wu appeared on the roof with two jars of wine and handed one jar to Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao waved his hands repeatedly, but he couldn't drink any more, otherwise his plan for a long trip tomorrow would be stillborn.
.
"Uncle Junior, your ability to drink is not good, you need to practice." Yuan Wu laughed.
"Next time I come back, I'll drink you up." Lin Xiao secretly made up his mind to increase his drinking capacity.
"Hahaha, you have to have this kind of momentum." Yuan Wu laughed, and then lowered his voice: "I heard that my uncle used to not drink at all, and even got drunk when he smelled the smell of alcohol, but later he became
I won’t be drunk if you’re not drunk, and I won’t be drunk if you are drunk.”
"Really..." Lin Xiao was suddenly surprised and had a sudden thought: "Is it possible that every generation of Tianheliu's descendants are good at drinking?"
"Yes, it is said that the founder of Tianhe Ryu once said that if you get drunk with alcohol, you can ride the strongest... um... horse and produce the fastest sword. Therefore, every generation of Tianhe Ryu's descendants must be drunkards.
Even if it wasn't the case before, it will definitely be the case in the future." Yuan Wu said matter-of-factly.
"Master's nephew, you almost wanted to drive just now. It's very dangerous for Ah Zheng to follow you." Lin Xiao's focus was different.
"Driving?" Yuanwu was confused: "What kind of car are you driving?"
"Nothing." Lin Xiao suddenly felt melancholy, feeling as if he was on the road to becoming an alcoholic and would become a new generation of alcoholics.
Drinking the strongest wine, riding the strongest female...ahem...horse, and wielding the fastest sword, I feel a sense of yearning for it inexplicably.
"Uncle Master, how much do you know about yourself?" Yuan Wu suddenly asked.
"Not much." Lin Xiao responded seriously: "Handsome, handsome, talented, powerful, quick-thinking, versatile in both civil and military matters, superb..."
Lin Xiao said more than a dozen words in one breath, and then he noticed Yuan Wu's dark face.
"Uncle Master, do you believe it yourself?" Yuan Wu asked back very speechlessly.
"Believe it, why don't you believe it?" Lin Xiao looked like "I'm so cool."
"The master had a night chat with me before he left. He said that your cultivation talent, little master, is indeed the best he has ever seen." Yuan Wu's words made Lin Xiao snort: "But, the master also said that little master, your cultivation talent is the best he has ever seen."
Uncle Master, your ability to cause trouble is as superb as your talent."
"What!" Lin Xiao was dumbfounded: "You are talking nonsense...your master is talking nonsense...I didn't...will an honest and diligent person like me cause trouble?"
Yuan Wu stared at Lin Xiao expressionlessly, with an attitude of "You continue to act, I will just watch". His appearance was somewhat similar to Brother Ax.
Inexplicably, Lin Xiao actually felt a little guilty.
"Okay, I admit, I do cause trouble, but not as much as you said, only a little bit." Lin Xiao gestured, bringing his index finger and thumb together, and then slowly separated them a little, maybe he could barely see.
There was a gap to accommodate a hair, but looking at Yuan Wu's expressionless face, he simply gave up and simply separated it a little more, about the size of a toothpick: "That's it at most, you
How can the master praise me?"
"Master said that you are a contradictory person. You seem to know a lot, not like a teenager, but you also seem to know very little. You always think too much. You want to be free and unrestrained, but you are invisible.
You set up many obstacles for yourself that you are not even aware of, and you look at things from a different perspective than normal people." Yuan Wu acted as a porter and conveyed Fang Qinglei's words to Lin Xiao: "You are always doing things for others.
Make excuses for yourself...well...find reasons."
"Don't you need a reason to do things?" Lin Xiao asked back. Only when you have a reason to do things can you have a clear purpose, be justified and at ease, and not waste time and energy.
"I don't understand. Anyway, when I do something, I do it when I want to do it, and I don't do it when I don't want to do it. There are so many reasons and excuses." Yuanwu responded sarcastically.
Lin Xiao shook his head. This method sounds very good and attractive. You don't need to pay attention to it. You can do whatever you want and do whatever you want. There are no restrictions. Only then can you live a very relaxed life. But, it just can't be done.
.
"Master also said that if you can't do it, he asked me to give you what my uncle said." Yuan Wu said seriously, and Lin Xiao also looked solemn: "When you are not sure about something, you can ask
If you are not sure about the sword, you can ask your heart. If you are not sure, you can ask for the way. If you need a reason to draw the sword, then go out and travel through the mountains and rivers to find for yourself the truth for how to draw the sword. Only in this way can your sword be truly authentic.
