The greatest tragedy in life is to see your ideals being torn apart bit by bit by reality.
Today's Xiu'er is in this stage.
She was very confused. The world of martial arts she longed for had changed beyond recognition, leaving her unable to see a glimmer of light. What was left was just ugliness and uglier.
On the contrary, following Lin Nuo, at the very least, could make her feel a bit of warmth and the aura that a real knight in the world should have.
Although Lin Nuo, the so-called hero, still has many shortcomings, even so, it is already worthy of her nostalgia.
It is precisely because of this feeling that Xiu'er can't help but put herself into the role of Mrs. Lin, and even somewhat forgets her own ideal of being proud of the world and living freely in the world.
"Lin Nuo, sometimes I feel that being with you is the real world. Without you, this world is no longer a world!"
Xiu'er is really an honest girl. She says whatever she wants. In front of Lin Nuo, she never knows what politeness means.
Lin Nuo couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart. He said a very serious sentence in Xiu'er's mouth, but it made him feel sweeter than eating honey. It was really not easy to hear a compliment from Xiu'er's mouth.
"So, Xiu'er, do you agree to marry me?"
Fighting snakes follows the stick. It was rare that the atmosphere was so good today. Lin Nuo naturally did not waste the opportunity and once again put forward the suggestion of becoming a real husband and wife with Xiu'er.
"OK!"
Xiu'er's beautiful eyes looked up and down Lin Nuo's body, her delicate jade hands gently smoothed the hair on her temples, and said with a faint smile: "But to be my Xue Xiu's husband, you must be stronger than me, right?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Nuo felt a little bad.
"It's very simple. When you can beat me, I will marry you!"
The smile on the corner of Xiu'er's mouth became stronger and stronger. She glanced at the bitterness on Lin Nuo's face and continued: "Don't be discouraged. With your cultivation speed, in three years at most, you will be almost as strong as me!"
your sister!
Lin Nuo felt a little speechless. He felt that he had dug a hole for three years, but now he had buried himself.
Even the good-natured girl Xiuer has learned the routine for three years.
Three years and three years, sister, if this drags on for another three years, maybe we can break the void and go to the world of Zhongwu!
It's a pity that even though Lin Nuo was a little reluctant, he couldn't refute anything.
Xiu'er is right. If you want to be a husband and wife in the true sense, your husband-in-law's strength cannot be weaker than that of his wife, right?
However, at least Xiu'er has given her request, which is much better than being hesitant all the time.
This is also a good thing for Lin Nuo, who has always been unable to figure out Xiu'er's thoughts.
...
In the capital, after Fang Yun and Zhou Yan transported three million taels of silver to the palace, they were summoned by Zhu Houzhao.
"Chen, Zhou Yan and Fang Yun, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
This was the first time that Zhou Yan and Fang Yun were summoned by the emperor since they became governors, and they were still a little nervous.
"Everyone, get up. You did a good job on your errand this time!"
Zhu Houzhao was in a very good mood. Three million taels of silver were put into the inner treasury. Although some would have to be sent to the national treasury, even so, including the one million taels sent by Lin Nuo before, it was enough for him to build the beautiful Leopard House.
So magnificent.
"By the way, why didn't Governor Lin come?"
In front of foreign ministers, Zhu Houzhao usually called Lin Nuo Governor Lin.
"Your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief has a memorial here. Please have your Majesty take a look at it!" Zhou Yan quickly handed over the memorial.
Zhu Houzhao opened the memorial, took a look at it, and said subconsciously: "Master Lin wants to practice in seclusion for a period of time?"
Perhaps realizing his slip of the tongue, Zhu Houzhao coughed lightly, nodded and said calmly: "Captain Lin is indeed a little tired these days, and he has also solved an urgent need for me. It is indeed time to take a good rest!"
"Liu Jin!" As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao waved to the outside of the side hall, and in an instant, Liu Jin, with a wrinkled smile on his face, trotted in.
"In accordance with the decree, Lin Nuo, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, has worked hard and made great contributions to the country. He has been promoted to the Grand Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. He is allowed to rest for a year to recuperate his body and take care of his family affairs!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Hearing that Lin Nuo had been promoted again, Liu Jin felt as if she had eaten a fly, but she had to put on a happy look on her face and went down to draft the decree.
Zhou Yan and Fang Yun looked at each other, with excitement on their faces.
The relationship between our commander and the emperor is indeed extraordinary!
How long has it been since I was promoted from Zuo Governor to Grand Governor? Although his rank remains the same, at least he has reached the top of his military attache position!
If you go further up, should you be granted a title of marquis?
Considering how much your Majesty trusts the Governor, it is really possible!
.....................................
On the top of a peak in the back mountain of Linjia Village, Lin Nuo and Xiu'er built a simple small thatched house.
In front of the hut, there is an apricot tree with lush leaves and bunches of green apricot fruits hanging on it. Next to it is a vegetable garden, where some fruits and vegetables are planted. The fragrance is fragrant and very attractive.
There is a pine forest in the distance, and a few little squirrels are like monkeys burrowing in and out all day long, looking for pine cones, and having a lot of fun.
At this time, in the flat and neat little yard in front of the hut, Lin Nuo was sitting cross-legged with his upper body naked. Not far away, Xiu'er was holding a sword in one hand and looking around vigilantly, as if she was protecting him.
At this time, Lin Nuo's naked upper body had almost completely turned into crimson, with streaks of crimson internal energy visible to the naked eye, like small red snakes, swimming in his skin, flesh, and even tendons.
This made his whole body, with wisps of white air coming out from all over his body, like a big human-shaped furnace.
Even though she was seven or eight meters away, Xiu'er could still clearly sense the fiery aura coming from Lin Nuo's body.
boom!
At this moment, Lin Nuo suddenly spiraled up, then closed his eyes tightly, as if sleepwalking, he jumped seven or eight meters high, raised his hand and slapped forward with a palm.
Bang!
Xiu'er's palm instantly turned into a finger, and the Nine Yin Divine Claws spread out in an instant, colliding with Lin Nuo's palm with huge palm power.
boom!
The blazing internal force and the nine-yin internal force bombarded each other, like a big collision between water and fire. After a violent explosion, the two people retreated quickly, and they retreated for more than ten meters before they could stabilize their bodies.
shape.
Opening his eyes, Lin Nuo looked at Xiu'er, who had just stabilized his figure, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"After a year of hard training and internal strength cultivation, I finally made a breakthrough!"
In the fourth year since he came to this world, in this season of warm spring breeze and growth of all things, Lin Nuo finally broke through to the realm of the ultimate master!
