Chapter 445 The Disaster of Worship
"Grandfather..." Lin Zhiqing stepped forward, wanting to comfort Lin Qingshan.
But Lin Qingshan just waved his hand: "Qing girl, go back. I'll talk to your father here."
Lin Zhiqing said nothing more: "Grandfather, it's getting late and the dew is heavy, please take care of yourself."
After saying this, she turned and walked out of the ancestral hall.
When she closed the door, she saw Lin Qingshan's shoulders shrug slightly.
She paused and closed the door.
On the way back to Shuqing Pavilion, Lin Zhiqing felt a little depressed.
Marquis Changning, who had been a powerful figure on the battlefield for half his life, was actually just a poor father who lost his son.
The longer she stayed in Dasheng, the more she could feel the emotional needs of the people here.
She used to treat the people here as mere paper figures, so she worried that after the world collapsed, she would have invested too much emotion and it would be difficult to withdraw.
But as more and more things happened, Lin Zhiqing clearly felt that the people around him were flesh and blood individuals.
This feeling means that she has accepted this world and integrated into this land.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing let out a breath.
No matter what, the Lin family is getting better and better now. At least they don’t have to worry about their lives being in danger like before.
Keep looking forward!
With this mood, Lin Zhiqing arranged the Lin family's affairs in an orderly manner in the next few days.
The emperor ordered the restoration of Lin Congrong's title of Marquis Wangshu, held a grand funeral for him, and built a temple and erected a monument.
These matters were handled by the Ministry of Rites, with the cooperation of the Lin family, and were very trivial.
During this period, Lin Zhiqing also organized a banquet for the court officials to reminisce with Lin Qingshan, and also to support the new official Lin Shi'an.
It was a month later before the Lin family returned to peace.
When the Ministry of Rites prepared Lin Congrong's funeral, although it was solemn and grand, it was ultimately for outsiders to see, and it felt a bit flashy.
So, Lin Zhiqing thought about leading the entire Lin family to pay tribute to Lin Congrong, her second uncle Lin Congwu, Zheng Kuo and others.
Lin Qingshan had already had this idea and agreed immediately.
The others didn't say a word either.
After picking an auspicious day, Lin Zhiqing arranged everything and took the entire Lin family out.
The carriage wobbled along for more than an hour before stopping at the foot of Huiyan Peak in Dongshi.
The geese were frightened by the cold and their cries stopped at Hengyang Bay.
This time, Yanfeng is located in the suburbs of East City, and only people of noble status can be buried here.
Of course, these people of noble status do not include members of the royal family.
Because this place is rather special, horse-drawn carriages cannot go up, so when you reach the foot of the mountain you have to change to a sedan chair.
After another half hour, the Lin family arrived at the tombstone of Lin Congrong and others.
Lin Zhiqing remains respectful in such matters.
Everyone in the Lin family, from oldest to youngest, burned incense for Lin Congrong and others.
When it was Lin Zhiqing's turn, she had just inserted the incense in her hand into the incense burner when she looked up inadvertently and saw a familiar figure.
Jiang Liuyun!
Jiang Liuyun's figure flashed by.
How did he get here?
The Marquis of Zhenyuan was a criminal and it was impossible for him to be buried in Huiyan Peak.
Could it be that he followed me?
All kinds of speculations emerged in Lin Zhiqing's mind.
For example, Jiang Liuyun has not given up and wants to take action against the Lin family.
For example, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion left something behind at Huiyan Peak, and they are still unwilling to give up, hoping to use it to turn things around.
Of course, his brief appearance might also be to attract Lin Zhiqing's attention.
It seemed like any idea was possible, and Lin Zhiqing couldn't be sure which one it was.
Moreover, Jiang Liuyun was too far away just now. Lin Zhiqing could not see his expression, could not analyze anything, and was not sure whether he had noticed the Lin family.
Seeing such an annoying person, Lin Zhiqing felt a little uneasy.
She had to know what Jiang Liuyun was doing in order to take precautions.
Thinking of this, she tugged at Lin Yangyang's clothes and said, "Cousin, come with me."
Lin Yangyang knew that Lin Zhiqing was busy and nodded quickly.
After greeting Lin Qingshan and secretly reminding him to be on guard, Lin Zhiqing took Lin Yangyang and several guards and walked towards the direction where Jiang Liuyun appeared.
"Jiang Liuyun was here just now." Lin Zhiqing stood where Jiang Liuyun was just now.
Lin Yangyang lowered her head and began to observe: "Look carefully, I don't believe he can disappear!"
Lin Zhiqing and the other person walked along the path into the woods.
This time, Yanfeng Peak was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the scenery was pretty good.
The forest where they were was very dense.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Zhiqing stopped.
Seeing the deserted surroundings, she frowned slightly.
"Forget it, let's go back. It's not safe to go any further."
"If he deliberately wants to lure us away and attack Grandfather and the others, then we will be in trouble."
After hearing her words, Lin Yangyang turned around and walked back:
"Sister Qing, Grandfather has Butterfly and Shi'an watching over him, so he should be alright."
"We need to be extra careful. I always feel like something is wrong with this place."
"ah!"
Just as he finished speaking, a shout suddenly came from the side.
Then, the sound of fighting was heard.
Someone started fighting with the Lin family guards!
Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang looked at each other and quickened their pace to walk out.
But just as they took a few steps, a rustling sound came from above the layers of trees.
The next moment, seven or eight men in black jumped down from the tree and landed in front of Lin Yangyang and Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Yangyang didn't say anything. After taking the big knife from the guard's hand, he stood in front of Lin Zhiqing and took the lead in slashing at the man in black.
Lin Zhiqing frowned and quickly looked at the people around him.
These men in black came with great force, and the guards could still resist a few of them.
Lin Yangyang swung his sword and killed two people in the blink of an eye.
She retreated to Lin Zhiqing's side, grabbed her wrist and walked out.
"Still want to leave? Dream on!" a female voice sounded.
Lin Zhiqing recognized it immediately; it was Jinniang's voice!
She looked behind her and saw Jinniang suddenly appear.
It seemed as if Lin Zhiqing was the only one left in her eyes. She moved her hands and a white silk ribbon immediately flew out from her sleeves.
It immediately wrapped around Lin Zhiqing's arm, making it difficult for Lin Zhiqing to move at all!
Seeing this, Lin Yangyang raised his sword and turned around to chop.
“Sizzle!”
The silk ribbon tore with a sound, and Lin Zhiqing's body swayed forward.
Jinniang frowned suddenly and looked at Lin Yangyang with a murderous look in her eyes.
Without saying anything, she flew towards Lin Zhiqing and attacked.
Seeing this, Lin Yangyang stepped forward and started fighting with Jinniang.
Seeing the tense situation, Lin Zhiqing took out the prepared powder and shouted:
"Cousin, get out of the way!"
Lin Yangyang dodged to the side, and Lin Zhiqing immediately threw the powder.
The two of them cooperated tacitly, and the powder spread in front of Jinniang's eyes in an instant.
Her entire face was covered in paste, and she backed away quickly while coughing.
Lin Yangyang dispatched two more men in black and said to Lin Zhiqing, "You go first!"
Lin Zhiqing nodded. Now was not the time to shirk responsibility. She ran out under the escort of two guards.
