Things have changed and people have changed

Perhaps, it should not be said that "Lin Qian" is to Hu Shuiling - even though he controls the mountains and rivers, controls life and death, and is so majestic and powerful that no one can match him, to her, he is still the mediocre "Lin Shengnan"

.

Where do we start from the story of Lin Shengnan and Hu Shuiling?

How to tell? Let’s start with Zhang Rui, a grain merchant.

During the Song Dynasty, merchants' grain speculation was mostly based on hoarding, mixing in fake goods, and taking advantage of policy loopholes to make profits. Among them, those who made huge profits were mostly officials' families and large grain merchants who colluded with them. Lin Feng saw this when he traveled around the world.

Lian Jingyue of Lu was an official himself, while the Qin, Su, He, and Yuchi families of Jiankang Prefecture were typical examples of collusion between officials and merchants.

Whenever he encountered injustice, Yin'er would roll up his sleeves and go straight to the fight. You are the Second Young Master of Qin and you can still beat him. You are the Miss Su and you can fight to death. You are the little overlord, and I am the big overlord... Then I win.

Although Nan did not stop him, he also knew that many things could not be cured. Even if the world was turned upside down, it would not change. He could only try his best to develop in the most ideal direction. After all, where there are people, there will be exploitation and plunder——

It was like this in the Southern Song Dynasty, wasn't it the same in the Jin Dynasty? He had been exposed to it since he was a child, on various levels...

Before he was eight years old, he and Hu Shuiling wandered around Tai'an in precarious situations. At the age of eight, his miserable childhood finally got a little better: Zhang Anguo's tribe, the landowner Zhang Rui, was willing to take in his mother and son, and even settled in Tai'an County.

.From then on, his mother and son no longer had to live the days of being maliciously bullied by Feng Tiehu and his son. Zhang Rui also sought out famous teachers to teach him martial arts... Zhang Rui's investment and dedication to him were obviously as good as a father. Maybe.

The reason why Zhang Rui is so enthusiastic is entirely because he hopes to become his father and Hu Shuiling's husband, although these have never been achieved.

Zhang Rui was extremely kind to Hu Shuiling and Sheng Nan, but as a grain merchant, he was really rich and unkind. Usually, the Zhang family was rich in acres of land and accumulated a lot of rice, but every bad year, they would close their stockings and wait for high prices. Sheng Nan didn't care.

I had seen his rampant and despicable face when he oppressed the poor once or twice, and I could not equate him with the loving Uncle Zhang Rui in front of my mother. Therefore, I couldn't help but have more questions in my mind, why did Uncle Zhang Rui treat my mother like that?

good?

Shengnan only gradually understood these feelings when she grew up. Zhang Rui's love for Hu Shuiling was a bit like Qin Xiangchao's love for Yu Ziyan. Even though Shengnan was not his own child, he valued her more than his own. She got Hu Shuiling.

Zhang Rui was flattered and overjoyed to have Sheng Nan call her uncle. He had pursued her in his early years, and even thought of giving up business and practicing martial arts and joining the rebel army for her. Later, they ended up in war, and they were separated for several years, but still

I have always been thinking about her. How can I let her go when I have lost her and found her again?

However, Hu Shuiling is not Yu Ziyan. The reason why she never agrees to Zhang Rui is that Zhang Rui is not qualified enough. Perhaps it is the name that has occupied her life, "Zhang Anguo"——

It’s hard to explain why Hu Shuiling loves an evil thief who harmed her whole family so much that she never forgets him. She spends her youth and the rest of her life with him without any regrets... Maybe all this can be explained by the fact that enemies don’t get together.

Before she met him, she was a chivalrous woman in Tai'an who punished evil and promoted good. Her fame, power, talent and appearance were beyond the pale. After meeting him, she became the traitor's wife and concubine, loved by thousands of husbands.

It means that everyone is shouting and beating, people are in chaos, living in the open air... Life is like this. If you encounter it, you will encounter it.

But it was her stubborn persistence, her temperament, and her outlook on life that completely influenced the first and now Shengnan Hu Shuiling. Would such a woman not be able to tell right from wrong? In fact, she

She must have known for a long time that Zhang Anguo is really a traitor. Although she loves him, she does not deny that he did wrong. If it were her, she would definitely kill Zhang Anguo like Xin Qiji did!

But the reason why she still wants to avenge him is to seek justice, for the mess behind those happy grudges, for all the charges that should not be imposed on him - she has always believed that the disintegration of the Shandong Rebel Army,

It was caused by too many reasons, and it should not be blamed entirely on Zhang Anguo. It also affected a large group of unrelated people. She, Hu Shuiling, dared to go against public opinion and thousands of years of human rules.

Against all odds...she never realized that she was gradually falling into prejudice, another extreme of paranoia.

No matter what, she never gives up. She wants Xin Qiji to admit his mistakes and confess his sins. She wants Lin Chujiang to confess and clarify. She wants to be a righteous martial artist and bow his head and submit. She wants too many things and she can't do it alone. She...

...so he dared to take advantage of the showdown between Lin Chujiang and Gao Shou Tang to smuggle a dead baby under their noses. Lin Qian's survival was thanks to her, but the changes in Qian and Mo's lives were entirely due to her...

After eight years, Lin Qian returned to Feng Zhangzhuang. The Zhang family compound has been separated for a hundred years.

In an instant, there was no longer Lin Qian, Yinhen Dao, or Short Knife Valley, but only Lin Shengnan and that simple July 17th, and the desolate scenes of mother and son holding each other's arms and crying after being bullied by Feng Tiehu.

Is this really still Lin Qian's life, his only belief, support and sustenance? Why is it so strange, confused and broken...

"Resolve? Of course you can! From now on, you will be the heir of your Lin family and the leader of your martial arts world. The Zhang family does not expect to have a promising son like you!" The most unforgettable thing is, beside Laoquan, Zhang Rui is

Hu Shuiling threw a decisive word at him.

"Uncle Zhang Rui said that?! But Aunt Hu, she should understand..." In the fourth year of Qingyuan, Song Xian met him in Baidi City and talked ambiguously about Hu Shuiling.

The tone of his voice showed Hu Shuiling's indifference. The more indifferent he is, the more irreversible it is.

"Zhang Rui keeps saying that you have nothing to do with the Zhang family anymore, but your mother has never expressed her position. She eats fasting and chants Buddha's name all day long, as if she is aloof." In the sixth year of Qingyuan, Wu Yue brought back the last news about the Zhang family to the Short Knife Valley.

To be honest, what Lin Qian is most concerned about is not Zhang Rui, but the second half of the sentence, what will happen to Hu Shuiling for the rest of her life?

Only now, when I really saw that scene of chanting sutras and chanting Buddha, did I realize that Wu Yue's words were absolutely false - next to Zhang Anguo's memorial seat, Lao Lai stood alone with a lantern.

It was still the familiar tree in the deep courtyard, the same incompatible host, and the same old house with white walls and mud tiles. The windows were half open. When he was eight years old, he was only a little higher than the window sill, so he could lie down on it and steal.

Look, I saw my mother in front of the makeup mirror. She had a peaceful smile on her face that had been through many hardships, but her hands that were touching the makeup were shaking slightly.

Now, in the late night, the dim light casts a thin shadow. That familiar woman is already in her twilight years, with a head full of white hair and a dim light.

It is her old age that reminds Lin Qian that he is no longer the naive child he used to be.

His thoughts turned around, and he recalled all the responsibilities he had. He turned around and moved away, unable to enter the house, his heart as cold as iron:

After this battle is over, he will be relieved to see her again. At this moment, many people, those people, are still waiting for him——

Wu Yue, Song Xian, Yang An and other dozen masters were all on standby in the evening. Song Xian was lurking beside Zhang Mansion, while Wu Yue and Yang An were mainly attacking Feng Mansion, just waiting for his order. At this moment, he arrived at Feng Zhang Village for the first time.

The primary purpose is to find out where the salt and grain are located. Once the source is identified, it will be blocked.

It is most convenient to move in the dead of night. After Lin Qian and Song Xian explored the respective guarding rules of Feng and Zhang respectively, they immediately met with Wu Yue and Yang An to figure out how to take advantage of the situation. Lin Qian told the masters, "

It must be completely destroyed before it is ugly.”

After midnight, they were dressed in black, walking at night, traversing, leaping, warehousing, and dividing labor. The terrain and structure were all familiar to Lin Qian since he was a child. He was accompanied by five or six people, and his steps and skills were completely invisible.

, and the development will go smoothly as expected.

However, things will not be simple after all... Lin Qian also thought that this battle might be difficult, but of course it was difficult to predict how difficult this battle would be——

Just at this moment in the Zhang Mansion, when Song Xian and Lin Qian were about to finish their work, a roar suddenly sounded outside the warehouse: "Okay, little thief! I finally caught him!"

Song Xian and Lin Qian were all startled. They followed the sound and saw that it was Uncle Fu, the manager of the Zhang Mansion, who led several servants in shouting and screaming. At this time, there was only one way to go to and from this place and there was no place to hide. Lin Qian was heartbroken.

Come to think of it, is it such a coincidence that there has been a thief in Zhang's house recently?

Yes, yes, it is understandable that those children from poor families will steal the food if they cannot buy it. Just like Lin Qian himself back then... secretly sighed at his mistake, but it is not a big problem. It is not too late to fix the problem.

Late! Lin Qian immediately took a few steps forward and instantly sealed all the acupoints around these people. He was such a Song Xian, and he really had a tacit understanding with him. At this moment, the mysterious wind passed by and the figures stopped suddenly, and the black shadows passed through the crowd, and Song Xian was silent.

They were all on dumb points.

"Ah..." Before Fu Bo could finish his sentence, he looked at the two of them with wide eyes and fear.

"Uncle Fu, I'm sorry." Lin Qian whispered, with a wink, Jiang Xingyan Baili Piaoyun immediately signaled for the experts to withdraw. The salt and grain here have been almost destroyed, and the poisonous smoke nearby is dissipating. According to this trend

, it will definitely slow down a lot when you are ugly.

"Where is the thief!" At that moment, another team leader came forward with a fire and was angry. Lin Qian and Song Xian were about to seal him off. Unexpectedly, the man became speechless in the middle of shouting, and the anger on his face turned into horror: "Sheng Nan

, you're back...?!" Even though Lin Qian had disguised himself, he was the one who watched her grow up after all.

"Uncle..." When Lin Qian first met Zhang Rui, he also showed a rare expression of true feelings.

"You... actually have the nerve to come back! You don't dare to be honest, so you are sneaky!?" A trace of joy clearly flashed across Zhang Rui's face, but it was fleeting and turned into anger. The next moment, he saw this person behind him.

Several armed uninvited guests seemed to have thought of something, and they were shocked and angry. They looked up and said: "You... what are you doing!"

"Uncle Zhang Rui is late, we are cutting off your financial opportunities." Yang Songxian sneered.

"Sheng Nan! You have to explain this to me! What do you mean!" Zhang Rui roared with tears in his eyes, grabbing Lin Qian's sleeves and asking questions, getting very angry.

"Stop!" "Don't be rude to the lord!" At that time, someone tried to force Zhang Rui away, but Lin Qian raised his hand to stop him. It was a duel between the Lin family army and the Zhang family, and it really hurt Zhang Rui.

Rui: "What a 'Lord', haha, haha. If that's the case, we won't ask you to kill people for us anymore, as long as we don't offend the river! You'd better come and ruin my life for others!"

"Uncle, in order to make huge profits, you are willing to harm people's lives. Ask yourself, is your conscience okay?" Lin Qian lowered his face and looked at Zhang Rui, and his tone finally returned to calmness.

"Conscience. Touch your own conscience!" Zhang Rui sneered and hit him on the chest, "For these Lin family soldiers who call you lord, you will not hesitate to go against us who raised you. Are you worthy of us and your mother!"

"There is poison in the salt and grain. You were favored by a gold man and became obsessed with it. It has nothing to do with my mother and there is no conflict. As for my previous mistakes, I will ask her for forgiveness after tonight." He had a clear mind and did not want to deal with Zhang Rui again.

After half a long sentence, I was about to lead Song Xian and others away, but unexpectedly this sentence was thrown from the side of the road——

"Forgive? What have you done wrong, what should you forgive?" The time suddenly stopped at this sentence, and the surrounding air was as quiet as death. Lin Qian never expected that she would appear here, followed closely by Uncle Fu, Zhang Rui...
