"I think you should give me an explanation." Father Lin sat on the chair and looked at Lin Su.
His son was an extremely dissolute man. Although he was not a tyrant, he always had the impression that he was a weak man. Otherwise, those forty military sticks would not have nearly taken his life.
"Father, don't you think I'm an imposter?" Lin Su asked, standing opposite him.
Lin Ting'er had already packed up her sword and came in. She stood aside, watching him and marveling, "They really look exactly the same."
Father Lin took a deep breath and looked at him. "You said before that I can't blame you without knowing the truth. I misunderstood you once, and this time I'll give you a chance to explain."
"Where should the sticks of the soldiers go?" Lin Su asked.
"Of course it's on the butt." Lin Ting'er said.
Father Lin looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"What will happen if it is placed on the waist?" Lin Su asked again.
That was a stick used by an adult man. If it hit the buttocks, at most the flesh would be torn, which is an external injury. But if it hit the waist with such a strong force, it would be fatal. After all, the bones of a person might not be able to withstand the blow.
"You mean..." Father Lin couldn't help but stood up.
"I've been hiding my talents and pretending to be a playboy because my father controls this important southwestern borderland, and I'm afraid I'll overwhelm him and bring disaster upon him. When I was young, someone deliberately made me indulge in pleasure and neglect my studies." Lin Su looked at him. "My father was fighting on the front lines, and I couldn't bear to see him worry about family matters. I never thought that even with such a playboyish attitude, someone would still want to kill me."
In the original world line, everyone thought that the original body died because he was weak and could not withstand those dozens of military sticks.
The executioners in the army are all experienced. The severity of the blow depends entirely on the strength of their hands. They would never accidentally hit the lumbar spine. When Lin Su arrived, he found that the lumbar spine was disabled. If it were not for the recovery potion, even if he could survive, he would probably be a disabled person.
The prince of the Duke of Huguo must not be a disabled person who can't even walk.
"Brother did have an injury on his waist at that time, but I thought it was just a scratch." Lin Ting'er's face darkened.
Joking is one thing, but if someone really wants to harm her family, that is absolutely not allowed.
Father Lin looked at him with a complicated expression: "If I take your life, the Duke of Huguo's mansion will be left without an heir. Whoever benefits will be the one behind this."
The southwestern frontier area is independent and is not subject to the orders of the emperor. Even if imperial envoys or military supervisors come, they are not allowed to interfere in military affairs. It is not that Lin's father does not want to allow it, but those people are all armchair talkers without any experience, so the army will naturally not obey them.
"I thought you were loyal, but I didn't realize some people's hands are so long-reaching." Father Lin walked to Lin Su's side and patted him on the shoulder. "You have been keeping a low profile for the family, which has saved me from many troubles in the southwest. But my son, Lin Chengyuan, does not need to keep a low profile. You can do whatever you want. The emperor is far away. If he dares to touch my Lin family, I, Lin Chengyuan, will not be a pushover."
"Dad, are you going to rebel?" Lin Ting'er's eyes lit up, and the next moment she hit her father on the back of the head.
"How can you say such things casually? If someone with ulterior motives gets in, we'll definitely rebel!" Father Lin glared at her.
Lin Ting'er coughed, "It's not that there are no outsiders... My daughter knows about this, and she won't talk about it casually. Places like the capital are nowhere near as fun as this place in the southwest. Let's not go."
"Father, don't you fear me?" Lin Su said.
Father Lin sneered, a sneer that expressed contempt: "I, Lin Chengyuan, am loyal to the emperor and patriotic. I protect the people of this area for the sake of the people and my country, not just for the emperor who sits on the throne."
He controlled a large army, which naturally gave the emperor in Beijing a headache. Since he could become a vassal king, he naturally had to have the ability to protect himself.
"Father, what you're afraid of isn't your forceful approach to you, but your conspiracy behind the scenes?" Lin Su looked straight at him.
"That's right. If it was stuck on your waist, why didn't you tell me at the time?" Father Lin looked at his waist.
"If I had told you then, my father would naturally not have believed me," Lin Su said. "Now that I've shown my abilities, I finally dare to tell you about my involvement. It's time to clean up some of the people in the army."
It's just the beginning now. If those people who were planted from the bottom really climb up unnoticed, the Lin family will be in danger.
"Of course we have to deal with those people, but is your waist okay?" Father Lin kept looking at his waist, "Are there any hidden injuries left?"
"If my waist is really broken, I won't be able to enter the bridal chamber after I marry my sister-in-law." Lin Ting'er rubbed the back of her head, then nodded to Lin Su.
"My son is fine."
"You keep bullying me every day. What should I do if I become stupid?!" Lin Ting'er had just found out that her brother was a pig in disguise, and now there was another person bullying her.
"Don't worry, you're hopelessly stupid." Father Lin grabbed Lin Su's shoulder and walked out. "Since you don't want to hide your strength, come with me to the army. Your mother and I are worried about this, and Ting'er's temper is not one that can handle it. I saw that you have good swordsmanship just now, so let's go compete."
"Dad, my injuries haven't fully healed yet. My sister will be fine after taking care of her. If you want to talk to me, I'd better wait until I'm fully healed." Lin Su said.
"Okay, take good care of your injuries these days, and we'll talk after you're healed." Father Lin patted his shoulder and turned to leave with an unusually brisk pace.
Lin Ting'er: "..."
Could you please explain what it means to be okay with my younger sister?
Lin Su's injury healed completely after another month of recuperation. When he entered the barracks, there were many onlookers. After all, the general's son was beaten in front of many soldiers and was almost beaten to death.
But later, Lin Su recovered, apologized in person, and helped Wang Wei's family. Even after he recovered from his illness, he no longer caused trouble like before. He no longer talked about what happened before, and his later behavior was also puzzling, but no one expected that he would take up a position in the army.
The prince of the Duke of Protectorate joined the military camp. Even if he wanted to be parachuted into the position of deputy general, it would only take a word from the general. Naturally, many people opposed Lin Su's enlistment.
"Even if General Xi wants to train his son, he must teach him slowly. Once he joins the barracks, I'm afraid he won't be able to endure the hardship." General Zhengnan bowed.
Those who can enter the main camp to discuss matters are all those who have made outstanding military achievements and have accumulated their achievements step by step. There has never been any paratroopers in the army. Even those sent by the emperor seem to have high positions, but in fact they all sit on the bench and have no say at all.
But Lin Su is different. He is the son of General Xu. If he continues to be a playboy, he will not be able to lead the Southwest Army in the future. However, if he wants to come, he cannot climb up step by step like others. But if he parachutes in directly, and such a playboy gives orders at will, who knows how many people will be killed.
