Tibetan Sea Pearl

Lin Cheng stood in front of the flower window with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark night in the courtyard.

Who put Vice General Liang under house arrest?Vice General Liang was different from other sons-in-law. He was raised by his grandfather Lin himself since he was a child. In the eyes of the Lin family, he was not just a half-son-in-law.

"Young master." The staff member called softly, and paused for a while.

Lin Cheng didn't seem to hear anyone talking, his eyes were far away.

It's beyond the reach of the whip, the distant water cannot save the nearby fire, and it will take time for the urgent report to reach the capital through messengers, pigeons, merchants, ships, etc., let alone such a distance.

The staff member looked at Lin Cheng's back and sighed.

Lin Cheng turned around, sat down and began to write.

"My lord, take a rest." The staff member said softly.

Lin Cheng lowered his head, "Sir, you've been exhausted all the way, go and rest first, I'll finish writing these letters."

Mr. Staff looked at the book case, Xining Hou Shizi's letter needs to be answered, Nan Song's letter also needs to be answered, there are many letters waiting for the young master to return.

The aide doesn't say anything more. As an aide, he can advise the young master, but he can't do it for the letters that need to be answered by the young master himself. He also thought of imitating the young master's handwriting and sharing the burden for the young master.

This is not appropriate after all, it will lose the trust of the young master.

Although the young master trusts him very much.

Mr. Staff shook his head, gave a few words of advice and then left.

Lin Cheng didn't keep him, and wrote several letters in one breath and still didn't stop writing. A new letter paper was laid on the desk, Lin Cheng put the pen on the inkstone, and called Yun Shan, "Go and call the old man. "

"The old man just fell asleep." Yun Shan hesitated, "Do you want to wake him up?"

At this time, the night was already very deep. The old man was an elderly person who was used to going to bed early, so he was probably already fast asleep.

Seeing Lin Cheng nodding towards him, Yunshan went out to the outer courtyard to call the old man.

The old man was woken up and came in wearing a cotton jacket and carrying a lantern.

Lin Cheng looked at the old man with a smile, "Uncle, please tell me about Vice General Liang's childhood."

These endless words made the old man startled.

Waking up people in his sleep, the old man thought that Lin Cheng had something very important to do, so he hurriedly got out of bed and got dressed, and came over before he was dressed.

Is the kid feeling bored because of business and wants to hear something fun and interesting?Although he is the parent officer of one side, he is still a child after all.

A smile immediately appeared on the old man's face, and he put down the lantern, "When Vice General Liang was young, that was more than 20 years ago."

More than 20 years ago, it has been too long, and the memory is a little blurred like his eyes that are no longer clear.

Lin Cheng asked the old man to sit down and talk slowly.

Thinking of the past, the old man felt a little sad, "I'm so useless, I don't remember many things."

"It's been too long." Lin Cheng said comfortingly.

That's right, the little kids who were with Grandpa Lin all those years ago have grown up, married and started a career, and become the deputy generals guarding one side. More than 20 years ago was really too far away.

"Grandfather Lin saw that the child was homeless, so he left him in the military camp. At that time, he was less than ten years old, and he pestered Grandfather Lin every day to teach him how to ride a horse and shoot arrows, so as to avenge his family. The child's eyes are fierce, and he is vicious towards everyone, Grandpa Lin doesn't want him to be blinded by hatred."

Lin Cheng listened carefully.

Those memories sealed in the bottom of my heart were opened, and became profound and clear.

The old man said while recalling, "At that time, the Mongols just came to invade. Grandfather Lin, as the commander, had to organize soldiers and horses to deal with it. He had no skills at all. He got annoyed by him, so he found a reason to prevaricate him, as long as he could use his bare hands without a knife. When the arrow hit a wild boar and came back, I taught him, and guess what happened afterwards?"

Speaking of this, the old man laughed.

Lin Cheng said with a smile, "As expected, Deputy General Liang really brought back a wild boar."

The old man smiled and nodded, "Until one day, the child really carried a wild boar and threw it in front of everyone. The child's face was bruised and his nose was swollen, his body was covered with wounds, and he passed out on top of the wild boar without saying a word."

Yunshan stood outside, and heard the chatter and laughter inside, it was midnight, the young master couldn't sleep, he wanted to listen to a story.

"There is one thing, I don't know if you know, my lord." The old man smiled, and suddenly stopped smiling, and the expression on his face became a little weird.

Lin Cheng was startled and looked at him.

"Grandfather Lin's unique stick technique has only been passed on to two people, one of whom is Lieutenant General Liang." The old man lowered his voice.

"Is the other person my father?" Lin Cheng asked in a deep voice.

The old man nodded silently.

Lin Cheng breathed out in the air, feeling suddenly enlightened. Few people knew about this matter, and neither his grandfather nor father mentioned it to him.

Grandfather Lin's original cudgel technique, with just one stick, can break through thousands of troops on the battlefield.

There is still an old saying in the Northwest, "When the Lin family's sticks sound, the Mongols are terrified." Mongolians are not afraid of swords, guns, feathers and arrows, but they are afraid of the Lin family's sticks.

Because there is another person in this world who has the same martial arts of the Lin family as him, won't father get rid of him with envy and hatred?

That chest is too narrow.

Thinking of this, Lin Cheng laughed at himself, his father is really a narrow-minded person.

As the night darkened, the chatter and laughter in the house also stopped.

Lin Cheng asked Yunshan to take the old man back to his room.

The lantern that the old man was carrying when he lifted it from his feet had already been extinguished, but it didn't matter, someone would be there to show him the way.

"My lord, you should rest early." Walking to the door, the old man stopped and looked back.

"Go to bed now." Lin Cheng nodded obediently like a junior.

The young man behind him is tall and straight, with a face like a crown of jade. Even though he is wearing a homely cloth robe and his hair is simply tied with a wooden hairpin, he stands there shining brightly.

He definitely didn't want to simply listen to stories.

Those things and those people have been in the past for too long, so long that the old man's memory is blurred.

Lin Cheng watched the old man leave until the figure and the little flames disappeared into the darkness and merged with the night.

Lin Cheng sat back in front of the desk and picked up a pen to write a letter.

Vice General Liang is not the son-in-law who came to visit, nor did he change his surname. To his father, it was always a foreign surname.The father couldn't even trust his own son, so how could he trust a man with a different surname.

The son-in-law is only half.

Thinking of this, Lin Cheng smiled.

Looking out the window, he thought of the girl telling him, Lin Cheng, you have to be good.

Yes, he has to be good. He doesn't want to be an official outside alone in order to hide from his father and stepmother. In the past, he wanted to escape and go as far as he could.

In fact, he was wrong. The farther he traveled, the more he worried about him. He couldn't let go of those people and things of the Lin family.

Lin Cheng quickly finished writing the letter, blew on the lights, and got ready to go to bed.

There are rustling sounds outside, like the wind blowing the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and like the sound of a girl's footsteps.

After listening carefully, something was wrong. In the darkness, Lin Cheng suddenly opened his eyes.

Where did the girl come from in the mansion?
