But this seemingly stable situation was actually temporary, because in Lu Jun's autobiography, when the warlords were defeated and the whole Kyoto was in chaos, many major events happened in the Lu family, and after that, Lu Jun and Wei Qinghe joined the revolution together.
But before that, the army that the Lu family relies on is currently quite stable because of the presence of their relatives.
Lin Su entered through the void. Even though he was in the state of a soul and could not be touched by humans, these objects could still create a barrier for him.
As for things like climbing over other people's walls, such trivial matters as military deployments in that era would never be recorded in history books. If he were here in person, he could have done it in person, but as an invisible and intangible soul, some things are destined to be restricted, while some things have to be done.
Lin Su's hands and feet were still quite nimble, but the guard dog here was startled and started barking.
The voice was very loud, and the direction it was looking at was Lin Su's direction.
"Can you see me?" Lin Su took a few steps towards that direction. His footsteps were much lighter than those of ordinary people, almost unnoticeable, but for a dog, perhaps such a sound could not be easily concealed.
The barking of the dog was so loud that it could be heard clearly from dozens of meters away. The light in the gatehouse, which had been off, now came on, and a cursing voice came from inside: "Are you calling for help? There's no one here. Stop it. You'll wake up the host family and you'll be in trouble."
The doorman, draped in his coat and holding a stick, walked around the yard for a while. Seeing no one around but the dog still barking, he went up and kicked it twice: "I told you to stop barking. If you wake up the mistress, I'll stew you for dog meat!"
The dog whimpered twice with its tail between its legs. Lin Su seemed to be thinking about something and walked straight into the Lu family's house.
The surroundings were quite quiet, and Lin Su's footsteps were even more inaudible. The Lu family's building was also a quadrangle courtyard, but some places had been obviously renovated and decorated like a Western-style building. Most of the lights were off, but there were still some places with lights on.
Lin Su didn't go to the women's residence, but stopped at a lighted doorway. He heard the voice of a middle-aged man from inside: "...It's not peaceful here in Kyoto. Many people have died. Those foreign devils... cough... It's not convenient for us to talk about this over the phone. The Lu family is also nervous. Okay, I'll have Wangfu bring the draft to you. We are a family and we don't have to talk about each other..."
Lin Su looked inside through the crack in the door. There was a middle-aged man in a navy blue gown. He looked 50% similar to Lu Jun. If the Lu family wanted to join, they would have to contribute money and effort.
The man made a phone call for a while, sighed when he hung up, folded the things on the table, and then opened a painting on the wall, revealing a safe inside. He twisted it a few times and put the things in.
After doing all this, he turned off the lights in the room, opened the door and walked out.
Lin Su went in and reopened the painting after the footsteps outside faded away. He opened the door of the safe according to the previous traces and took out the things inside.
He did not steal the Lu family's secrets, he just wanted to keep the Bai family safe, although even so, his behavior was still immoral.
When it comes to life, sometimes morality has to take a back seat.
Lin Su opened the letter and read it carefully, looking at the dense foreign text inside.
It is not about communication with the domestic army, but with foreigners. The Lu family is also making preparations for both situations. If there is really chaos in the country, they may move directly overseas.
There are also certificates for the homestead purchased overseas. Together with these things, it is indeed the last resort for the Lu family to settle down.
In times of crisis, some people choose to live and die together, while others choose to stay safe. Lin Su does not comment on who is right or wrong. He vaguely remembers that Lu Jun's autobiography contained information about his mental journey and painful struggles, but there was no detailed record of the events.
Lin Su didn't have time to look closely at what happened after the autobiography. He only knew that the man Bai Jingjian fell in love with in the legend was most likely Lu Jun.
Lin Su put the things back exactly as they were, and all the traces were completely restored, then he carefully opened the door and went out.
He and Bai Jinglang are not from the same era. Even if they meet in modern times, they are still humans and ghosts on different paths. Bai Jinglang cannot see him here. Even if they can be together in modern times, he will grow old and die one day.
Not everyone can become a ghost, and if he dies of old age in modern times, he will become a white-haired ghost after death.
Beauty fades with love, and countless examples throughout history have proven this. Even if Bai Jinglang didn't mind, Lin Su himself couldn't bear to be with him in that gray-haired and ragged appearance.
Why did Emperor Wu's wife, Lady Li, refuse to see him before her death? Perhaps it was to keep her love in the most beautiful memory.
It seems that no matter how you look at it, he and Bai Jinglang are not suitable.
Lin Su walked to the side of the small Western-style building. The lights inside were still on and the melodious sound of opera was coming from the gramophone. It could only be heard when you got close, but it was silent from a distance.
Lin Su knocked on the wall. This place was soundproofed. He looked inside through the glass window and saw Lu Jun sitting in the room, painting oil on the canvas.
The opera is playing, and the outline of the person on the canvas has already been taken shape. He is wearing a golden and red costume, with sleeves rolled up and a folding fan half covering his face. You can tell who he is at a glance. What is missing are just the details and the finishing touch.
The person who could be so stunning in her prime years was Bai Jingjian. Lu Jun was able to be with Wei Qinghe, which clearly showed that he could accept men. Lin Su had no way to confirm the connection between the modern Wei Qinghe and the Wei Qinghe Lu Jun met. Perhaps they just had the same name or were from a past life.
He seemed to be included in a circle, understanding the love and hate between them, but his position was that of a bystander.
Lin Su doesn't believe in reincarnation without reason. His fate of coming to the modern world is to save Bai Jinglang, and his coming to this era is also related to Bai Jinglang.
He couldn't recall his own memories, and he suspected that if he had any memories, everything that was happening now would not have happened, so he lost that part of his memories.
He came here perhaps to change Bai Jinglang's tragic fate, otherwise everything would not be such a coincidence.
After the change, Bai Jinglang of this era will live peacefully, and the modern Ghost King will not appear again. This is a dead end, but how can he give him up? How is that possible?
Although he had never been in love, Lin Su was sure that it would be difficult for him to fall in love with someone. There was no way he would give up the person he was already married to.
Provoking him is a misfortune for both parties.
Lin Su looked at the painting for a few seconds, then turned and left the Lu family. With the news from the embassy and the Lu family, he could basically confirm the nearby military deployment and dispatch.
