Chapter 80

Lin Nanjie fell silent after hearing this. The leader seemed to be determined not to let him leave unless he handed over the jade pendant.

The leader said: "You have to think carefully."

Lin Nanqi took a deep breath, his eyes flushed with hatred, "What you said makes sense, but I want to go and pay respect to my family."

Seeing that he was not pretending, the leader finally showed a satisfied look: "Okay, I will arrange for someone to take you there."

The wasteland between the Qingwu Mountains is covered with vines and old trees with tangled roots that block out the sun. The surrounding weeds are knee-deep, and wild crows on the trees occasionally make hoarse cries.

The leader sent a martial artist to lead Lin Nanjie to this deserted place.

Lin Nanjie was walking in the wilderness of the deep mountains. The man stopped and Lin Nanjie followed the direction he pointed and saw a dense number of monuments without words standing in the wilderness.

Although there are no words on it, one can still make out that the first one is the tombstone of Lin Rujian and his wife. The surface of the tombstone is smoother than others, as if people often come to pay their respects.

The people following him were guarding closely. Lin Nanjie said to him, "I want to be alone with my father and mother for a while."

The man saw that there were only wilderness and mountains all around and Lin Nanjie had no skills. If he ran around randomly, he would most likely fall into the mouth of a wild beast, so he did not persist and retreated to a far distance.

After Lin Nanjie confirmed that the man could not hear him, he placed the candles and offerings he had brought and lit three incense sticks.

It is said that one should bring more things that the deceased liked when visiting the grave, but Lin Nanjie didn't know what the Lin couple liked. The original owner left home at the age of three and had no memory of the past.

Lin Nanjie said in a low voice: "I don't know what you two like, so I brought some here. I hope you don't mind."

Lin Nanjie poured the wine he brought onto the ground, submerging it in the weeds, and then kowtowed three times. His voice was hoarse, and he dared not look directly at the tombstone: "I... Actually, I am not your biological son. I am just a lonely soul from another world, occupying his body. I don't know where he is now, so I can only kowtow on their behalf."

"I will definitely avenge the deaths of hundreds of people in the Lin family."

When Hua Heng arrived at the tombstone without words, he saw a thin figure kneeling in front of his sister and brother-in-law's tombstone. He looked at the man kneeling on the ground and kowtowing in disbelief, his lips trembling.

This is the only bloodline left by my sister and brother-in-law, his nephew.

He finally found it.

He moved closer and stopped not far away. He took one look at the face of the kneeling young man and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Her features and eyebrows look exactly like her sister's.

Nephew without a doubt.

Hua Hengton stood there, suddenly feeling a sense of homesickness coming to his mind. He did not dare to take a step forward, fearing that this was all in vain.

He thought he would never see his sister's children again in this life, but he finally met them again after more than ten years.

Just when Hua Heng was ready to go forward to meet him, he suddenly heard Lin Nanjie's low voice.

He was extremely skilled in martial arts and could hear sounds a hundred meters away. When Lin Nanjie's voice reached his ears, he staggered.

A lonely soul from another world?

He noticed the unusual behavior of the leader of the Lotus Sect and knew that they were searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the descendants of the Lin family. He was satisfied that he had found his nephew, but unexpectedly it was not the case.

Lin Nanjie finally finished burning incense and muttering. When he stood up, he felt his feet shaking and his vision went dark. He staggered a few times. Perhaps it was because the fluctuations in the past few days were too great and his body could not take it.

Who would have known that after just two shakes, he was held up by a pair of strong and powerful hands.

Lin Nanjie became alert and opened his eyes subconsciously, then he was faced with an eight-foot-tall strong man.

This man was very tall and strong, wearing a military uniform. Judging from the quality of the uniform, it seemed that he had rushed here without having time to change. His aura made people dare not approach him. He also had a handsome face. Although his face was slightly tanned by the sun, if you look closely, his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Lin Nanjie. However, his red eyes were very inconsistent with his dignified appearance.

Lin Nanqi was startled, and guessed something in his mind.

"Who are you?"

Hua Heng looked at Lin Nanjie, his expression repeatedly confirming. The idea of ​​another world was too mysterious. He didn't know how to believe it. His tone was extremely complicated: "I am your uncle."

Lin Nanjie heard the tone of his words, but he guessed: "You heard it all."

Seeing that Lin Nanjie did not shy away from the question, Hua Heng felt mixed emotions: "Do you know where he is?"

Lin Nan shook his head: "I don't know either."

Hua Heng asked again: "Then who are you in...your world? Do you have parents or relatives?"

Lin Nanjie answered all of them: "I am a fresh graduate and I have no family."

Hua Heng was stunned, it turned out to be someone who shared the same suffering as him.

He took a deep breath and said, "Heresy is too dangerous. Do not mention it again."

Lin Nanqi's eyes moistened: "Okay."

The two were silent for a moment, and Hua Heng suddenly said, "Call me uncle and let me hear it."

Lin Nanqi looked up at Hua Heng in a daze, his eyes slowly turning red: "Uncle."

Lin Nanjie slowly explained to Hua Heng what had happened, including how she was sent to the palace at the age of three, and how the Lin family at the foot of Qingwu Mountain and the leader were relentlessly pursuing the matter of the jade pendant.

Hua Heng was a man of eight feet tall. His expression changed instantly. He clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes burning red, and drew the sword from his waist: "I'm going to kill them! And the dog emperor!"

Lin Nanqi quickly pulled the man back: "Uncle, calm down!"

Lin Nan was concerned about the presence of others, so he had to hold Hua Heng tightly and lowered his voice: "Uncle, I am not a real eunuch."

Hua Heng was stunned, and his eyes subconsciously moved towards Lin Nanjie's lower body.

"real?"

Lin Nanjie's eyes were firm: "Really!"

Hua Heng then retracted his knife, his eyes still murderous: "But the Lin family and the dog emperor still deserve to be killed!"

Lin Nanjie did not hold back Hua Heng this time: "When the Lin family found out that I was a criminal, I should have been beheaded. They were afraid that they would be found out, so they embezzled money and secretly sent me to the palace, so that they could rest easy from then on. Who knew that the Lotus Cult would find out and set a trap to bring me back."

"The late emperor listened to the instigation of the villain and killed all the members of the Lin family, so they are also my enemies. But this time, the other party obviously took us all into account."

Hua Heng had been leading troops for many years and had the ruthless temperament that only soldiers have. After hearing this, his brows furrowed. “That jade pendant was a token of my brother-in-law’s leadership. Seeing the jade pendant is like seeing him in person. They are planning to rebel.”

Lin Nanjie asked cautiously, "Uncle, what about you?"

Hua Heng's dark eyes were dark, and there was a raging fire in them: "I will definitely give everyone an explanation for the annihilation of my family."

Lin Nanjie remained silent, but it seemed that Hua Heng was not completely unmoved.

"But uncle didn't."

Hua Heng's eyes flashed with helplessness: "This group of rebels came from an unjust background, and their methods are cunning. They oppressed the people in Qianzhou and played tricks. If their rebellion succeeds, the people will be plunged into dire straits."

Lin Nanqi nodded: "Uncle is right. Associating with this group of people is like trying to steal the skin of a tiger. Uncle must not be fooled."

Hua Heng turned his face away uncomfortably, his hand on a delicate dagger in his sleeve: "Since we are here, let's make the best of it. From now on, you and I will call each other uncle and nephew. This dagger is a meeting gift for you."

Lin Nanjie took it and said obediently, "Thank you, uncle."

"Uncle, do you know about the Lotus Sect?" Lin Nanjie needed to confirm Hua Heng's relationship with this matter as soon as possible.

Hua Heng sneered: "Is it that old guy who captured you?"

Lin Nan was so angry that all the pores of his body relaxed after he cursed him as an old bastard. He took the opportunity to exaggerate and complain, "Yes, it was that old bastard. Not only did he capture me, he also set fire to the village. Dozens of people were trapped in the fire. He is so abominable!"

Hua Heng frowned: "There is such a thing?"

Lin Nanqi nodded sadly: "My companion is also in the village. He is still alive or dead. Please send someone to check on him, uncle."

Hua Heng immediately said, "Don't worry, I heard from my men that there shouldn't be any casualties."

Lin Nanqi finally let go of the worry, but Hua Heng looked at her with a sharp eye: "But is there someone important to you?"

Lin Nanqi's eyebrows jumped, and his ears slowly turned red: "Yes..."

Hua Heng blurted out, "But whose daughter is she? Your uncle will be your matchmaker and prepare your dowry for you, and will make sure that the daughter will marry into your family with great fanfare."

Lin Nanqi stuttered: "No, there's no rush for this!"

Hua Heng did not continue to ask: "Okay, when the time is right, uncle will go and give the betrothal gift."

Lin Nanjie secretly stuck out her tongue where Hua Heng couldn't see.

If Hua Heng knew that person was His Majesty, the situation would probably not be like this.

Lin Nanjie suddenly lit a candle in his heart for Li Chenghuan.

It was obvious at first glance that my uncle was not easy to fool.

Not to mention the blood feud between them.

Lin Nanjie frowned. Something strange happened back then, and it is still the same now. Could these two things be related?

And the incident of being sent to the palace that year...

The people who had been guarding Lin Nanqi panicked when they saw Hua Heng coming, and wanted to release a signal bomb to call for help. But Hua Heng was faster than him and extinguished the signal bomb with a long sword.

The man was still struggling: "General Hua, you can't take this man away..."

Before the man could finish his words, Hua Heng tied him up. He summoned his men from somewhere and sent the man directly to the Lotus Sect.

Lin Nanjie, who witnessed the whole process, immediately had sparkling eyes: [Uncle is awesome! ]

Knowing that Li Chenghuan was not burned to death, Lin Nanjie was finally able to put her mind at ease after being worried for the past two days. In addition, Hua Heng saw that Lin Nanjie's face was pale and her small body was about to fall due to the wind, so he found a sedan chair and insisted that Lin Nanjie sit in it and go back home.

He also reminded me: "You are too weak. Your father and mother were both good at martial arts. When you return home, you can practice martial arts with your uncle to strengthen your body."

Lin Nanqi was flattered and said, "I understand, uncle."

The sedan chair was swaying, which was so comfortable. Lin Nanjie had been very nervous these days and actually fell asleep with his head tilted.

My uncle is so thoughtful. The sedan chair he prepared is very soft and very comfortable to sleep in.

In order to take care of him, he deliberately slowed down his pace, so that when he returned to Huafu, Hua Heng rode a horse, followed by a sedan chair, and they slowly strolled around the streets of Qianzhou.

Hua Heng looked serious, but he couldn't resist the gossip of the people around him.

"I've never seen a battle like this before. General Hua is very different today."

"Yeah, I've never seen General Hua come so slowly before. It was like there was a ghost chasing him before."

"Will she be Mrs. Hua in the future?"

Hua Heng, who had excellent hearing, glanced at him and said, "Don't spread rumors. This is a youngster in the family."

This dispersed the crowds who were watching the excitement.

When he slowly walked to Hua Mansion, he saw someone visiting at the door. Hua Heng dismounted from his horse and was about to speak when he saw a man of extraordinary bearing standing next to Fang Wenjue.

Hua Heng stopped immediately.

Why is His Majesty here now???

Li Chenghuan has been looking for Lin Nanjie everywhere since he came out of the mountain village, but Fang Wenjue and Liao Baifan have no news. Finally, Fang Wenjue speculated that Huaheng might have some clues.

As an uncle, you can't just ignore your nephew, right?

Li Chenghuan looked at the sedan chair behind Hua Heng, but was blocked by Hua Heng without making a sound.

Hua Heng felt angry when he thought of the dog emperor. Although it was not Li Chengjue who did it, it was the son who paid for the father's crime, so there was always some connection. He also thought of Lin Nanjie working for Yu. Serving the emperor was like serving a tiger. As a servant, it was inevitable that he would suffer from anger every day. He didn't know how Li Chengjue would torture him on a daily basis.

Thinking of this, Hua Heng looked at Li Chenghuan with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Li Chengqian: ???
