"Don't want to see me? Heh, that's not up to you!"
Luo Wuchen chuckled coldly, then suddenly grabbed her chin and slowly pulled her towards him.
"I need you to do some important things, so you'd better behave and listen to me! Understand? Hmm?"
As he spoke, he gently stroked Han Ling Shuang's face with his large hands.
Han Ling Shuang suddenly bit his hand.
Luo Wuchen immediately screamed in agony.
"Ah!! Let go, you crazy woman, let go of me right now!!"
Luo Wuchen struggled to break free.
Unexpectedly, a large piece of flesh, skin and all, was torn off.
His face immediately contorted into a ferocious expression. He grabbed a leather whip and began to lash Han Ling Shuang mercilessly.
"You bitch, you're asking for it! You're asking for it!!"
Ah! Screams of agony rose and fell.
After beating for quite some time, Luo Wuchen's anger subsided a bit, and he slowly stopped.
Looking at his disheveled figure, Luo Wuchen sneered, "Just wait until that little bastard sees you in this miserable state, what kind of expression will he have? Heh, Human Emperor? What a tremendous humiliation! I haven't even become emperor yet, and he wants to? He's practically defying the heavens! I'm going to use you to thoroughly humiliate him!"
He would never return Han Ling Shuang unharmed; he wanted to use Han Ling Shuang to humiliate Lin Yu.
How can someone who can't even protect his own woman be worthy of being called an emperor?
It's absolutely ridiculous!
...
Lin Yu returned a few days ago.
Wandering throughout the Great Xia.
After several days of effort, the situation in Daxia finally stabilized.
Those who promoted cults were all dealt with by him.
Lu Xueqing didn't say a word during this process.
Even the entire arbitration tribunal became much more low-key.
With the return of the Emperor, who dares not temporarily yield to his might?
Unless you think you've lived too long!
Afterwards, Lin Yu went to visit Pang Wensheng.
Old Pang's health was critical; he was clinging to life, waiting for Lin Yu to return.
"Lin Yu, I knew you would come back to see this old man one last time!"
Lin Yu grasped the old man's large hand and said, "Don't say that, sir. May you live to be a hundred!"
"Hey! At a time like this, why are you still comforting this old man? Besides, do you think I don't know my own situation?"
Old Pang patted Lin Yu's hand with his other large hand, and said with a sigh of relief, "I'm relieved to see you back!"
The world has been in such chaos lately that he feels somewhat powerless.
He was finally at ease when Lin Yu returned.
Lin Yu shook his head. This old man, even in his current state, is still worried about the people of the world.
He truly devoted himself to the cause until his dying breath.
"Don't worry, sir. With me here, Great Xia won't fall into chaos. When you wake up, Great Xia will still be the same Great Xia!"
Old Pang nodded. With Lin Yu's assurance, a satisfied expression appeared on his face. His gaze pierced through the wall and fixed on the void.
"My whole life has been like walking on thin ice, but I can finally let go..."
"Hua Zhen!"
"Hey, Mr. Pang, I'm here!"
Hua Zhen quickly stepped forward.
At this moment, the nine-foot-tall man's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down his face.
"After I'm gone, you must assist the next comrade in managing the cabinet well. He has no background and a weak foundation. Without the support of people like you, it will be very difficult!" Old Pang could no longer see, but he was still giving instructions.
Hua Zhen pursed his lips and said, "Elder Pang, why not call the young master back..."
"No, don't let him go back to Beijing. Don't let people gossip. He should stay in the countryside for the rest of his life. He'll retire in a few years anyway!"
"Tell him that after I die, my body should ideally be kept for forty-nine days before cremation. If that's not possible, then follow the rules and don't make a big fuss. Also, after cremation, make mud balls from my ashes and scatter them into the sea. If I have an afterlife, I hope to be born in the Great Xia Dynasty and connect with all living beings!" Old Pang said with his last strength.
After saying this, he slowly closed his eyes.
After a moment, the arm slowly slid down.
Bang!
Hua Zhen took a step back, knelt on one knee, and clasped his hands in a deep fist salute.
Lin Yu also straightened up, slowly bowed, and gave a salute.
As per Mr. Pang's request, the funeral was not a grand affair.
Elderly people who had a good relationship with Mr. Pang all came to bid him farewell. His body was kept in the hall for seven days for people to pay their respects.
Seven days later, Lin Yu personally escorted a private plane from Yandu to a small city in the south.
Mr. Pang's son and family knelt down to welcome him at the airport.
Lin Yu did not participate in what happened after that.
The idea of ​​returning to one's roots is a long-held belief of all Chinese people throughout history.
Throughout his life, Mr. Pang devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work and made outstanding contributions.
Unfortunately, time waits for no one, and gray hairs have faded, leaving only memories.
Even if one attains the highest position in the court, this life is nothing more than a fleeting dream.
Old Pang's passing made Lin Yu think a lot.
What is it that people pursue throughout their entire lives?
Power, status, wealth?
A hundred years from now, these things will eventually return to dust.
Youth fades quickly, and wealth is as worthless as dirt.
Anything that is not eternal is unreal, illusory, like a dream or a bubble.
However, some things can be recorded in history books and passed down forever.
That's a spirit.
For example, Lei Feng, and for example, Elder Pang.
Their spirit will be etched into the blood of the Daxia people and recorded in history books.
It will empower future generations.
This is the legacy of Chinese civilization!
Several days later.
Shenxue received a letter from Luo Wuchen.
Talk to Lin Yu directly!
They demanded a woman in exchange for a golden tobacco pouch.
This woman is none other than Han Ling Shuang!
Knowing the relationship between Lin Yu and Han Ling Shuang, Shen Xue didn't dare delay and hurriedly reported it to him.
"Ling Shuang has been captured by Luo Wuchen?"
Upon receiving this news, Lin Yu frowned slightly.
Feng Hongye sighed and shook her head, saying, "That girl has suffered quite a bit. Before, she was tied to a stone pillar and subjected to the punishment of heavenly lightning for talking back to Lu Xueqing. Now she has been captured by Luo Wuchen. I wonder what kind of torture she will suffer!"
Lin Yu clenched his fist slightly and narrowed his eyes, saying, "My feud with Luo Wuchen is already irreconcilable. He's doing this just to annoy me!"
"Lin Yu, what do you plan to do?" Feng Hongye asked with a complicated expression.
She knew Lin Yu's character and knew he would never give up on Han Ling Shuang.
However, the golden tobacco pouch is of great importance; if Feng Wuhen were to obtain it, it would be a disaster.
"Your Majesty, you must think this through!"
Shi Lingyun arrived with Shi Tingfang and other younger members of the family, and immediately bowed.
"Old man, you don't deserve such a grand gesture, please get up!" Lin Yu quickly helped him up.
Shi Lingyun grabbed his wrist and said excitedly, "Feng Wuhen cultivates the evil path and feeds on resentment. Once he draws that half-step resentment into his body, a demon will be born in the world. You must not lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of a small gain. You must not hand over the golden pipe!"
