From the duel between Yuan Ye and Liu Yuning to the annihilation of the Undead Clan.
Everything in Qing City has been settled.
It's time to leave!
Gatherings are always fleeting; life is either about parting or on the road to parting.
Let alone ordinary friends, even parents and close relatives cannot accompany you for a lifetime.
Where does life come from, and where does it go?
Lin Yu was unaware.
Perhaps, when he was separated from his mother forever, his life had no origin, only a destination.
On this journey home, there is national hatred and family feud.
He had never failed the country or the people, so naturally he wouldn't be stingy with his mother.
Three months later, the two will finally have a resolution regarding their sworn enemy, Luo Wuchen.
"Brother Lin, I've retired from the entertainment industry and plan to live a rural life with my father. I bought a peach orchard. Will you come to see me next year when the peach blossoms bloom?"
Before leaving, Lin Yu came to visit Ivy.
After using Lin Yu's ointment, her eyes have almost fully recovered and are even brighter than before.
Although Ai Changqing was acquitted, his imprisonment left an indelible mark on him. Even though Lin Yu offered to reinstate him as mayor, Ai Changqing was already disheartened and determined to retire to the countryside.
Zheng Honglian supported his decision and even took the initiative to help Aiwei invest in the orchard. After so many hardships, they had already reached a tacit understanding: a simple and peaceful life is the true essence of happiness.
Lin Yu didn't insist; instead, he was quite envious.
He smiled and said to Ivy, "I will also have a day when I retire to a secluded paradise, with my family and children, but not now!"
When her family and children were mentioned, Ivy's eyes dimmed instantly. All the expectation she had felt vanished in an instant.
Yes, Brother Lin is a married man.
Despite her confidence, and despite her belief that she was the most suitable person for Brother Lin.
But what do these things matter in the face of common-law marriage?
In life, there is always a sequence to arrivals and departures, and it is common for people to be destined to meet but not to be together. Nothing in this world is ever perfect.
"Well, Brother Lin, when you have time in the future, you can bring your wife and family along, okay?"
She finally let go of it and said those words.
Lin Yu smiled slightly, "Yes, I will!"
Farewell, waving goodbye...
Have you not seen the beautiful woman, secretly grieving, weeping bitterly...?
It was already noon when I left the hospital.
It's time to go.
Feng Jiu drove up in a Jeep, Lin Yu got in, and they headed straight for the western suburbs.
Fifty li to the west is a military restricted area.
This is Lin Yu's last stop before leaving Qing City!
Li Rui, the commander of the Qing City Garrison and Feng Jiu's old subordinate!
Lin Yu was extremely dissatisfied with this person in handling the Hongwu Sect matter!
The purpose of our visit is, of course, to demand an explanation!
boom!
The jeep roared past the checkpoint.
Seeing that the license plate number presented no obstacle, the sentry immediately lifted the barrier to let the vehicle pass.
Ten minutes later, in the command post, Lin Yu sat in the main seat with his legs crossed.
Below, a middle-aged man bowed respectfully, his back drenched in cold sweat.
"Li Rui, I've seen your resume. As my father's old subordinate, you've earned some military merits! According to seniority, I should call you uncle!" Lin Yu tapped his knuckles on the chair and said calmly.
Li Rui quickly replied, "No, no! I am but a mere legion commander; how could I dare to be arrogant and boastful of my achievements!"
"A mere legion commander?" Lin Yu glanced at him. "It seems you're quite dissatisfied with your position!"
Li Rui pursed her lips tightly.
Lin Yu's words struck a nerve with him.
Indeed, his contemporaries have all gotten their acne and stars, but he's still stuck with three stripes.
How can we be content with what we've fought through so much hardship and danger?
When resentment has been brewing for a long time, a person's mindset will change.
Since I can't get what I want, I'll just muddle along, not seeking merit, but only avoiding mistakes.
Lin Yu took in his expression and was fully aware of his thoughts.
"Hongwu Sect is a powerful and unfathomable force! I can understand your concerns! I can also understand when Fang Wenhai asked you for help and you declined, saying it was outside your jurisdiction! But I cannot understand why you obstructed Yuan Ye's challenge to Liu Yuning! Do you want to give me a reasonable explanation?" Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and posed a soul-searching question to Li Rui.
Li Rui sighed and spoke frankly, saying, "There's nothing to explain. I'm just worried that he'll implicate me and further escalate the conflict between the military and the Hongwu Sect, increasing public pressure!"
Lin Yu nodded. This reason wasn't exactly reasonable, but it wasn't entirely wrong either.
They were just trying to protect themselves; at most, they could be accused of inaction, but it's not a matter of principle.
It would be unreasonable to dismiss an old regimental commander just like that.
Lin Yu continued to tap the chair and asked, "Anyone else who wants to confess? Don't say I didn't give you a chance!"
Li Rui paused for a moment and glanced at Feng Jiu beside him.
Feng Jiu sneered, and said meaningfully, "Old Li, the young marshal has given you a chance, so you'd better seize it!"
Li Rui clenched his fists tightly, but in the end, he relaxed them and said with a forced smile, "Young Marshal, what are you saying? I really don't understand!"
"good!"
Lin Yu clapped his hands and pointed at Li Rui, saying, "That's exactly what I wanted to hear! Men, tie him up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding adjutants were all dumbfounded. They didn't understand why the young marshal would arrest people so suddenly.
Furthermore, as the legion commander, Li Rui had treated them well, and as his subordinates, they couldn't bear to harm him.
Feng Jiu frowned. "What? You're not even obeying the young marshal's orders? Are you planning a rebellion?"
Li Rui's face gradually darkened, and he said, "Young Marshal, General Feng Jiu, although I, Old Li, did nothing in the Hongwu Sect matter, I can't be considered to have made any mistakes, can I? Are you not afraid of chilling the hearts of the other old brothers by treating an old soldier like this?"
"Moral blackmail?" Lin Yu chuckled. "Li Rui, do you think I would do anything to you without absolute certainty? Shouldn't you think carefully about whether you've accepted anything from them?"
Li Rui's expression froze, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes, but he still forced himself to say, "Young Marshal, without evidence, please don't make false accusations. I haven't received any benefits from Hongwu Sect!"
"You confiscated the benefits from Hongwu Sect, but what about the Japanese?" Lin Yu asked jokingly. "I heard that the Japanese gave you a chest of gold, a manor in Ba, and two samba maids. Is that true?"
"And their only request is that you don't attack the Hongwu Sect!"
"Just by standing by and doing nothing, you can get a god-like retirement life. There seems to be no reason to refuse, right?" Lin Yu said with a playful expression.
At this moment, upon hearing these words, Li Rui was already drenched in cold sweat!
