"Wu Xueqin, it's come to this point, what tricks are you still trying to pull?" Lin Yu sneered.
The people who hunted him and his mother back then were the Blood Shadow Guards of the Wu family!
Now that the other party is saying this again, how could he possibly believe it?
Wu Xueqin pursed her lips and said, "I really didn't lie to you! I did send the Blood Shadow Guards back then, but when they got to the riverbank, a peerless master suddenly appeared. That man was blind, and he was the one who saved Yunlan!"
blind?
Lin Yu's pupils trembled.
Could it be my master?
His expression changed, and he said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense. If that were true, how could my mother have died?"
Wu Xueqin shook her head. "When your mother left the Lin family, her old injuries had already flared up. It seems that she died from the recurrence of her old injuries!"
"An old injury recurring?" Lin Yu was even more confused. He had no idea what old injury his mother had.
Filled with questions, he looked at Lin Yuanlong.
At this moment, Lin Yuanlong also seemed somewhat dazed, muttering to himself, "No wonder. I was also puzzled at first. With Yunlan's skills, how could the Wu family's Blood Shadow Guards be her match? If I hadn't believed in her martial arts, I wouldn't have gone to the capital with peace of mind. But I never expected..."
"Lin Yuanlong, what exactly happened?" Lin Yu asked, clenching his fist.
It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that there seemed to be more to his mother's death than met the eye.
Wu Xueqin chuckled, staggering slightly. "You don't know, do you? Your mother is no ordinary person. She's the famous Flying Red Hero of the martial arts world! She was once ranked among the top ten on the list of most influential figures!"
Flying Red Knight?
Lin Yu's eyes widened in shock.
He knew absolutely nothing about these things.
That gentle and kind mother actually possessed such high martial arts skills?
"Lin Yuanlong, what exactly is going on?"
Lin Yu quickly looked over at Lin Yuanlong.
At this moment, Lin Yuanlong suddenly sighed, "What a tragedy!"
"Yu'er, it's time to tell you some things!" Lin Yuanlong looked at Lin Yu, his eyes full of guilt.
"Guards, take Wu Xueqin and her son, as well as Lu Yongcheng, into the jail to await their fate!"
After giving the instructions, Lin Yuanlong walked over to Lin Yu and said, "Yu'er, come back with me. Once we're back at the manor, I'll explain everything to you in detail!"
Lin Yu clenched his fist, gave Wu Xueqin a cold look, and slowly relaxed it.
Before we figure things out, let's spare this woman's life. The other party can't escape anyway.
A moment later.
In the study of the governor's mansion, the father and son sat facing each other.
Lin Yu's emotions had calmed down considerably by now. He sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for Lin Yuanlong to continue.
Lin Yuanlong lit a cigarette and began to speak in detail.
"This story begins when I was young!"
"Back then, when the Dark War had just begun, I was just a lowly legion commander. During a mission, my entire army was almost wiped out, and I was seriously wounded. It was your mother who happened to be passing by and saved me!"
Lin Yuanlong wore a nostalgic expression and continued, "During that time, we spent every day together and gradually developed feelings for each other. Later, she came back to the army with me. Your mother was a martial arts master and had a deep understanding of military strategy. She helped me win many battles and trained a group of experts, which was the predecessor of the Iron Pagoda! Later, it was with this team that I repeatedly made meritorious contributions and eventually became the acting marshal! And I gained the support of the Wu family of Yandu!"
Lin Yuanlong paused, then continued, "Back then, I went to Yandu to report on my duties, basking in glory, and your mother accompanied me! Little did we know that this trip to the capital would be the beginning of our nightmare..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes. "So, my mother wasn't a maid in the Wu family?"
Lin Yuanlong shook his head. "Of course not. Although your mother never tells me about her background, I know that her family background is by no means simple! After all, people with their level of cultivation have long transcended worldly constraints and would not even look at ordinary noble families!"
Lin Yu clenched his fists tightly and coldly questioned, "Since you two were in love, why did you later marry Wu Xueqin?"
"This is what I'm about to tell you!" Lin Yuanlong continued with a sorrowful expression, "Back then, I brought her to the capital to report on my duties, thinking that she would smoothly take the position of commander. However, after I met the head of the Wu family, he told me that if I wanted to take over the position of commander of Fengfu, I had to marry Wu Xueqin! At that time, your mother and I had already made a private engagement, so how could I accept such a condition? Naturally, I would not agree!"
"But the Wu family is despicable and forced me to hand over military power. At that time, the covert war was at a critical stage. If I handed over military power, the Fengtian Army would inevitably fall into chaos! For nearly a hundred years, Fengtian Prefecture has been a strategic location fought over by military strategists. If it falls, I will be a sinner to the world!"
"I wanted to rebel, but the Wu family amassed a large army in Guanzhong and forced me to submit! I wanted to fight them to the death!"
"But with external conflicts raging and the country unable to withstand internal strife, your mother made a sacrifice for the sake of peace, allowing me to marry Wu Xueqin!"
"But I didn't know that she was already pregnant at the time..." A look of pain flashed in Lin Yuanlong's eyes.
"Out of desperation, I hastily married Wu Xueqin at the Wu family home. However, on the night of our wedding, I was drugged and had sex with Wu Xueqin, which led to the birth of Lin Chuang!"
"Speaking of which, if Lin Chuang hadn't been born prematurely, you would probably be the elder brother!" Lin Yuanlong said with deep remorse.
Hearing this, Lin Yu trembled all over.
I never imagined there was such a story from back then.
"I don't want to hear your nonsense!"
"So, how exactly did my mother get injured?" Lin Yu was only concerned about this question.
