Chapter 132: Father And Son

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Within the territory of the Divine Continent Empire, if the Lin Clan was not preceded by a regional noun, it would be very difficult for unfamiliar people to identify them.

The reason for that was because the Lin Clan wasn't the only one in the empire that could be called famous, but there were three of them.

That was the Lin Clan in the southwest, the Lin Clan in the northeast, and the Lin Clan in Nine

The Lin Clan in the southwest was undoubtedly the most powerful clan, Lin Fengxue was known as the number one rich family in the empire, and she had been called the number one lackey in private countless times. However, these words were nothing more than angry words. No matter what, even if Lin Fengxue's current master retired, as long as he could still occupy the position of minister of the elite club, his title as the number one rich family was worthy of his name.

The Lin Clan in the Northeast covered the sky and covered the sun in the three large provinces in the Northeast of the Empire. The clan head, Lin Congjun, was in a state of upheaval. More importantly, the Longjiang Province in the Northeast was close to the 70,000-square-kilometer island of the Imperial Clan. It could be said to be the best springboard for the Emperor to return to the Divine Continent Empire.

With the full support of the royal family, Lin Congjun had established the Lin Clan in the Northeast in less than 20 years. He had established absolute authority in the three provinces. Even in the entire empire, the Lin Clan in the Northeast was an indispensable clan. No one dared to underestimate it.

The funniest of them all belonged to the Lin Clan of Nine Continents City.

At its peak, The Nine Continents City Clan Master, Lin Huaiyu, entered the Policy Bureau. There was even a high chance that he would become the leader of a large faction-the northern faction. He was a great figure who could really influence the empire's political situation. At that time, Lin Fengxue was just a young man who did well in Dongshan Province. The Lin family's head in the Northeast, Lin Congjun, was Lin Huaiyu's youngest biological son.

However, with the collapse of the northern faction, the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City was also involved in a huge scandal. Lin Huaiyu cowardly chose to compromise. This was the beginning of the rapid decline of the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City. In twenty years, they had become second-rate, third-rate, or even inferior clans.

After receiving most of the resources from the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City, Lin Fengxue from the Lin Clan in the southwest integrated the forces of Dongshan Province. With the help of the southwest faction, she officially rose up in Nine Continents City.

Because of Lin Huaiyu's compromise, his youngest son, Lin Congjun, did not bend and angrily left the clan. He fled to the northeast with only a few-year-old children and a young wife.

All the way.

All of his trusted subordinates died in battle.

That year, Lin Congjun, who was less than 30 years old, fled thousands of miles without even turning back to kill his beloved wife.

From beginning to end, Lin Huaiyu, who had chosen to compromise with the southwest faction, had not given him any help at all.

That winter, it snowed heavily. Lin Congjun, who was covered in 17 knife wounds and two gunshot wounds, stepped onto the Imperial Armament Mountain with his son covered in blood. He knelt in front of the Emperor with red eyes. He calmly said that he was still alive when he wanted revenge, but his heart had long since died.

It was also that year. At the end of the year, the entire empire was shocked. The Huangfu Clan, which had been hibernating in the three provinces in the northeast of the empire for nearly a hundred years but had never wavered from its status, announced that they would withdraw from the Divine Boat Empire and become the third largest clan after the Wang Clan and the Xia Clan.

Some of the Huangfu Clan's resources were left to Lin Congjun.

As for Lin Congjun, he left his son to the Emperor. With a message from the Emperor alone, he accepted part of the Huangfu Clan's resources and used every card in his hand to the limit. He continued to fight against the Lin Clan in the southwest who was eager to snatch territory from the three provinces of the Northeast. He established his own rich clan in blood and bones, the Lin Clan in the Northeast!

The compromise of the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City, The other two wealthy Lin Clans had already been eliminated. while they themselves rolled out of the ranks of the wealthy in a tumultuous manner. This was simply a great irony. Lin Huaiyu had never expressed any opinions on this. However, there were many old fellows in Nine Continents City who secretly ridiculed him, saying that Old Man Lin's self-righteous political wisdom had all been thrown into a toilet pit in the end. At that age, he had all lived to be a dog.

However, it could be said with certainty that even if the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City became a quasi-wealthy clan, it was very likely that the quasi-wealthy clan would be eliminated this year. Their status in the royal clan and even the royal clan could not be compared to the former Lin Congjun clan.

Lin Congjun was the emperor's pet minister and the most trusted vanguard general!

With this alone, Lin Cengzheng had nothing to say.

And these years, with the merger and extinction of several large political groups that can control the overall situation, the status of the provinces is gradually changing in the current tripartite structure.

For example, Wu Yue, who had replaced Nanyue as the number one political and economic province in the empire ten years ago, had been unable to satisfy the fact that the secretary of the ruling party of Wu Yue was bound to enter the situation in recent years. There were even some rumors that went straight to Nine Continents City. Although it was suppressed in the end, it was enough to show the direction of certain winds.

There are also significant changes in the political status of Minnan and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces. It has become customary for the first and second leaders to be Central Committee Member, not the alternate members.

Huating's ruling party secretary is also improving his ranking after joining the bureau.

These were the traditional spheres of influence of the royal lineage. The southwest faction was indeed powerful, but no one dared to ignore the hard state's achievements and the voices of the people.

Apart from struggle and compromise, it is also necessary for politics to conform to the will of the people.

Apart from these places, there were also the three northeastern provinces.

The political status of the three provinces had not changed much, but their military status had increased significantly.

In just a few decades, there were three directors of the Military Ministry with the surname Huangfu.

After the Huangfu Clan retreated, the Chen Clan, which was praised as the number one faction in the military 20 years ago, also rose up in the Northeast, becoming the Chen Clan that still controlled the daily work of the Military Ministry.

Lin Congjun had been in charge of the northeast for more than 20 years. The generals of the three northeast military regions had changed several times, but no matter how they changed, Lin Congjun could always call them brothers. Moreover, it was a feeling that had already exceeded the scope of the wine table.

Now that Lin Shuhua was about to enter Gale Squad, If he had the mood to develop in this area, even if he couldn't control the Military Ministry in a few decades, he would still be more than enough to be a director of the Military Commission. That was a sparse number of spots compared to the members of the Policy Bureau. Although he was nominally half a grade lower than the members of the Policy Bureau, there was not the slightest bit of water in the words of the Military Commission's director in the army.

Twenty years ago, the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City let Lin Congjun go indifferently. After so many years of staying away from each other, how much regret do they have now?

"My intestines are green with regret."

In the silent carriage, Lin Shuhua sighed without thinking. He looked at his father, who was sitting beside him with a vigorous and energetic posture all the time, and hesitated to say anything.

"What a mess?"

Lin Congjun silently looked out of the window and chuckled. His car was a pure black Mercedes-Benz S600, It was very flashy, but compared to Bentley Maybach and Rolls-Royce, who was not common in the capital but was definitely not rare, Even if he kept a low profile, Mercedes-Benz was wearing the license plate of Military A, and the license plate of the General Staff Department Level 2 wasn't heaven-defying. However, no one dared to run on the streets and smash the car when they were full. If they were more domineering, even if they ran through Nine Continents City, no one would say anything else.

'"Uh... this, this... Dad, this... Sister Shui Mo has been quite close to us recently. This... I think she has a good personality. She doesn't fight and doesn't rob us. She is quite compatible with us. You should also feel good about your niece, right? Sister Chen and Bai Yang are living with her now, right? Um... this..."

Lin Shuhua hesitated, scratched her cheeks, and carefully worded.

"Pa."

Lin Congjun slapped Lin Shuhua on the head and scolded, "What this and that?" Speak to me, what exactly is going on? Your nonsense needs to be corrected. Do you think you're the king beside me? What was his identity? Even if it was nonsense, everyone else had to listen obediently all night. That was called Shengfu. And who are you? Who likes to speak with hesitation? This is called ink! How can you be the assistant to the War God King like this? "He is also in charge of intelligence work. Will you be able to report it clearly at that time?"

"Dad, let me tell you, Brother Lin admires me quite a bit. Don't you believe me? If he didn't admire me, why did he take my car at the airport yesterday? Why didn't you give Director Lin any face? Yesterday, I called Sister Chen in. In a few words, he directly appointed me as his deputy. The person in charge is still a heavyweight intelligence officer. I guess he has taken a fancy to my eloquence. Do you understand eloquence? The real big shots always find my flash point is eloquence! For example, a side-by-side king, a war god king, for example... "

Lin Shuhua's face was filled with dissatisfaction as he opened his mouth and began to refute.

"Pa!"

Lin Congjun slapped him again and angrily said, "Elder brother Lin is eloquent. Didn't you choose you as your deputy for the sake of being His Majesty's disciple? Brother Lin, are you old or young? Do you know how to call me Your Highness in the future?"

"I... I... Jinxiu is my Little Senior Sister. His Highness and Little Senior Sister have that kind of relationship. What's wrong with me calling him Brother Lin?"

"Hey, fuck, you little bastard, you still dare to talk back? Are you looking for a whip? Are you unconvinced?"

"Dad, what you said is wrong. What should I wear?"

"I made you owe me a beating, little bastard..."

"Don't hit me, don't hit me in the face. Dad, let's get down to business. Sister Shui Mo said that she would invite us over for a simple meal on behalf of her family. I guess it was Director Lin's intention. Are you going? I'm not going, just making a statement."

Lin Shuhua finally remembered her business and hurriedly shouted out.

Lin Congjun's movements immediately stiffened. He tidied up his slightly wrinkled luxurious suit and slowly sat down. He muttered, "Go to their house for dinner?"

"Yes, I've already made my position clear. I won't go."

Lin Shuhua nodded. His body was subconsciously far away from his father.

"What else did she say?"

Lin Congjun was silent for a while and said indifferently.

"What else to say? Nothing, I guess I'm just testing it out. Dad, you said, The old man over there was arrogant and arrogant. They used to go downhill, It must be embarrassing to beg us to go back, Now that Director Lin had obtained support, The old man shook his head. A new rich family, He was confident in his words, I heard that the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City has almost been trampled through the threshold these past two days, Proposing marriage, visiting distant relatives, currying favor with, countless, He felt that his family had become mighty, Isn't that why I'm calling you over, "Let's see if we can go back. Heh, once we go back, it will be the alliance of the two great families. Even if we are still lacking compared to Lin Fengxue and the Chen Clan's Ye Clan, as long as we join forces, we will still be one of the top great families. The old master has been feeling wronged for so many years. Now that he has the chance, his thoughts are lively. He is eager to breathe heavens."

Lin Shuhua's tone was calm and mocking, and his expression was as calm as stagnant water.

If it weren't for the great knot in his heart, he wouldn't have let his father and son be separated for more than twenty years. As grandsons, he wouldn't have evaluated his own grandfather in such a manner.

"A top clan?"

Lin Congjun sneered, "Even if we are not now, who would dare to underestimate us?"

"Dad, do you mean not to go?"

Lin Shuhua's spirit shook.

"No."

Lin Congjun said straightforwardly.

Lin Shuhua chuckled and scratched her head.

"Blood relationship is the closest relationship, but no matter how close it is, there are some things that cannot be done."

'"It's not that I don't know how to compromise. In the past twenty years, I've been able to have this family business. What have I never seen? Saying that I won't back down, saying that I won't compromise? I don't believe it myself."

"But compromise also has a bottom line, lost interest lost future lost power, but the blood dignity can not? His own relatives could not be used anymore? If their family can sell these for a safe return, I won't say anything. As a son of man, I don't have the qualifications to say anything. But he didn't say anything, could it be that he agreed? Just leave if you can't accept it. The Lin Clan in Nine Continents City has been very pleased with themselves lately, but what about after what happened more than twenty years ago? And they're selling dignity and family? How many times? If I don't go back, I'll take root in the Northeast in my life. Shuhua, bring Shuimo over for dinner another day. It would be best if Dan Qing also came. I have no objections to the two girls. If they are willing to call me Uncle Sheng, I will be happy to agree. It doesn't matter if they aren't willing to call me Uncle Sheng. They are still your friends. Who aren't you entertaining? "

Lin Congjun said indifferently. He reached out and gently tapped his knee, looking at the scenery outside the window.

February. It was sunny yesterday, but it's cloudy today.

'"Fine, Dad, I will go to Gale Squad with the Crown Prince in a few days. Big Brother said that he is going to be an awesome instructor recently. I will go learn two moves and mix up my military ranks. When the time comes, I will call Big Sister Dan Qing for dinner. If nothing unexpected happens, I should stay in the military system in the future and won't come out anymore."

Lin Shuhua was silent for a moment before nodding.

"It's good that you don't come out. The army is a good place. Your father called me enlisted in the army, but I've never left the army in my entire life. You just went in to make up for my regrets back then. Besides, it's not like we don't have a backer. Tai, hey, maybe you'll be on the throne when Tong Tian reaches the top in a few decades. When that time comes, won't you be the one to support our family? Hey, our house, Not that many branches and leaves, Just the two of us, your grandparents, I still don't have enough filial piety. Apart from your mother, the two of them have two sons. Both of them are in the northern city. They are nice people. I asked someone to find a good job for them. They have done well these years, and they are beautiful. Hey, hey, that's it. They are all ordinary people. It's a blessing or a curse to suddenly get involved. Who said it well? What if he loses one day? "Is that so?"

Lin Congjun sighed softly, his eyes deep and sad.

"Dad, we won't lose!"

Lin Shuhua said in a deep voice. It was as if she was telling herself something, but it was also as if it was a promise to her father.

"Yes, I won't lose."

Lin Congjun muttered to himself, but his eyes were exceptionally firm.

He turned to look at his son and slowly grinned, laughing silently.

Strictly speaking, he wasn't a qualified father. For twenty years, all his thoughts were on revenge. For his sister, for his wife, and for himself. What about his son? Most of the time, he stayed in the royal family and was taught by the emperor. He basically did not have any effect on his growth. The only thing he could do was to dote on him.

Fortunately, he did not disappoint himself.

He suddenly reached out and patted Lin Shuhua on the shoulder. "that Lin family of the Northeast want to thrive here, No way, I'll see you in the future, Your relationship with Yuanyuan is quite stable, I think it's about time to get married, I like that girl, It's pretty good for you, Now, it's normal for college students to get married, And you're about to graduate. This matter cannot be delayed. Last year, when Yuanyuan was pregnant and had an abortion, Old Xie almost went all out with me. Let me tell you, kid, if you dare to do this again, I'll beat you to death. You guys are killing in disguise. You killed my grandson. This can't be delayed. You have to have as many as you want. Planned parenthood. I can pay a fine. "

"Success!"

Lin Shuhua smiled and nodded. He did not refute. He agreed straightforwardly. He liked to look at his father who was grinning. Every time he saw his father's smile, his heart would be inexplicably warm and calm.

After sunset, the night darkened the earth.

At dawn.

The iconic black dragon in the War God's Mansion was already in sight from afar. Its scarlet dragon eyes were dazzling, as if it was looking down at the surroundings.

"War God Palace..."

Lin Congjun muttered to himself as he looked at the giant black dragon that seemed to soar into the sky at any moment.

"Dad, Brother Lin, uh, Your Highness has just come to Nine Continents City. He's resting on the first day and treating us to dinner on the second day. Something's wrong. What does that mean?"

Lin Shuhua was stunned for a moment and asked casually.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Congjun said carelessly, obviously not caring about this problem.

"I don't think it's our turn. If you want to understand the capital's form, you should find President Wang and visit the elders. The first one should go to Elder Li's place. In terms of importance, he should also meet with the important members of the Wang Clan. We are very stable in the Northeast. I feel that His Highness won't be able to make any arrangements for the Northeast before he takes office."

Lin Shuhua said thoughtfully.

"It's not that I don't know much, it's that I don't know anything at all."

Lin Congjun shook his head, "Whoever says that His Highness wants to treat us to dinner and talk about business, in the eyes of people like them, disobeying the rules is the rule. It's not impossible to have a casual meal and chat."

Lin Shuhua nodded and suddenly remembered something. He continued, "Also, His Highness seems to be very interested in you. He admired you in front of everyone at the airport yesterday. On the way from the airport to the Prince's Mansion, he sat in my car and asked me some questions about you. Is that why?"

"Because of what?"

Lin Congjun did not react for a while. After thinking for a while, he continued, "You mean because of admiration?"

'"..."

Lin Shuhua did not respond. In his eyes, his father was the best father. But to say that the new prince was the first to meet his father because of his admiration, this seemed a little...

"Don't think nonsense. Perhaps it's because His Highness thinks that I've worked hard in the Northeast for more than ten years and specially gave me this face."

Lin Congjun chuckled and rubbed his hair. "You are now the War God King's deputy, don 't try to read the meaning, This matter has both advantages and disadvantages. You have to know what you should and shouldn't think about. The deputy in charge of intelligence has a lot of power. In the eyes of many people, you are probably more valuable than me. In short, I'll give you one sentence. As the saying goes, "Apart from what you should report, listen to more and say less about other things. You really need to correct that nonsense." This War God King was not simple, To go all out against His Majesty, Other than His Majesty, his strength is unmatched. However, if he is only a martial artist, he would definitely not be able to ascend to the position of Prince. If my guess is correct, His Majesty should have given him a great deal of authority. Sooner or later, he will make a big move. Only then will you come to his side. Don't be in a hurry to show off. You must be stable at the initial stage. Being able to stabilize is an ability in itself. "

"... Dad, are you saying that?!"

Lin Congjun was stunned. He shook his head with a smile and said with emotion, "Old age means more words."

"How nice. I like to hear them. They are all wise words. Why don't you say a few more words?"

Lin Shuhua chuckled and said, flattering him with unequivocal vigor.

"You flatterer!"

Lin Congjun scolded, frowned slightly, and pinched his knees quietly.

"Is it hurting again?"

Lin Shuhua looked at her father and asked softly with a complicated expression.

"It's raining on a cloudy day. It's all old wounds. I've long gotten used to it."

Lin Congjun chuckled and shook his head carelessly.

Lin Shuhua silently stretched out his hand and patted his father's knee.

Lin Congjun smiled and patted his son's hand.
