Chapter 363 If you want to live longer, you must not meddle in other people’s affairs
Lin Yuzan has always prided himself on being heartless, selfish, and even a complete hypocrite.
However, at this moment, he did something that even he himself found incredible - "meddling in other people's business"!
"I must be crazy, fuck."
Lin Yuzan was running as fast as he could while carrying two heavy sacks, and he couldn't help cursing himself in a low voice. The bag of ten thousand taels that was originally on him was nowhere to be found.
Not far behind him, 66 was fighting a life-and-death battle with the man in black.
Although several men in black were injured by 66's sneak attack, their fighting power was still amazing. After a few moves, 66 was unable to resist.
He glanced at the direction where Lin Yuzan had left. He had already run away and disappeared. He rolled his eyes, quickly took out a handful of medicine powder from behind, and sprinkled it lightly. The powder quickly spread in the air, and the men in black covered their mouths and noses when they saw it.
66 did not want to fight any more, so he took this opportunity to turn around and escape, looking for Lin Yuzan.
At this time, Lin Yuzan ran for who knows how far carrying two sacks, and finally stopped in a remote alley. He carefully put the sacks on the ground, sat down beside them, wiped the sweat from his head, and then untied the small sack with shaking hands.
Chen Jiaoyi's tear-stained face was already exposed.
Just now she realized that she was rescued, and even the voice sounded familiar, so she stopped struggling.
Lin Yuzan looked at the dazed child in front of him and couldn't help but feel helpless. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, and then he heard her trembling voice say, "I don't know you."
"..."
Lin Yuzan was speechless for a moment, but he also knew that not everyone was as smart and clever as his daughter.
Then, he took out a small knife from his bosom and handed it to Chen Jiaoyi, and said, "Miss Chen, I will hide your elders in a while, and when it's dawn tomorrow, you can use this knife to untie the sack."
As he said this, he was about to drag another large sack to a secluded place. Although he was away from home, he still had to be a husband and not touch other women if possible.
At this moment, his big hand was suddenly grabbed by the little girl.
When Chen Jiaoyi heard the familiar voice again, she couldn't help but think of a face she had seen before. She asked hopefully, "You are Uncle Lin, right? I remember your voice. Uncle Lin, is it you?"
Lin Yuzan: ...
He broke away from the little girl's hand and said in a gentle tone, "Miss Chen, please find a place to hide first. There are many barbarians who have sneaked into the north city. Although my partner has held back a few of them, it is still not safe."
Chen Jiaoyi nodded sensibly. She glanced at the man who was dragging her mother, then stood up quietly.
At this moment, a dagger appeared at her jaw, coming into close contact with her already cold skin.
At the same time, a fluent Chinese voice suddenly rang out, "I didn't expect that Chen Han's wife had a lover outside."
Chen Jiaoyi: ...
Lin Yuzan: ...
Lin Yuzan loosened his grip, and the sack fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound.
He turned around slowly and stared at the man who was speaking with endless chillness.
The man was dressed in a black robe and was a whole head taller than him. Although he was wearing a mask, his deep eye sockets and a pair of eyes as bright as glass made it clear at a glance that he was not Han Chinese.
At this moment, this man was holding the little girl in one hand and holding the note with the other hand, and he was looking at him with contempt.
Chen Jiaoyi was harmed because of her mother's reputation. She retorted regardless of the danger, "What are you talking about? He has nothing to do with my mother. He is..."
The man raised the dagger and interrupted, "Didn't you call him... Dad?"
The sharp dagger left a red blood mark under the little girl's chin, and a thin thread of blood slowly slid down the dagger.
The stinging pain made Chen Jiaoyi bite her lips in fear, and the tears that had just stopped fell again like a flood.
Lin Yuzan glanced at the note and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "I thought the Chen Mansion was not prepared at all. It turns out that General Shulu had already sneaked into the Chen Mansion. It was my mistake."
Shulü Qi raised his eyebrows and praised, "You are quite smart. No wonder you guessed that I would take action tonight and waited at the South Gate to rescue people."
Lin Yuzan shrugged helplessly and said with a half-smile, "It's not that I'm smart, but you're too stupid and incompetent. Although all is fair in war, you've only lost a few battles, yet you're desperate and come here to take hostages."
He smiled disdainfully. "But I think General Shulu must be so eager because he has to do so. For example... to get your father, Wutu, who is like a stallion, to recognize you."
Shulü Qi's pupils shrank suddenly, and she stared sharply at the man in front of her, but he hadn't stopped talking yet.
"It seems that the old Chanyu will not live long, and he is still undecided about the successor. Although the eldest prince Wutu is the bravest warrior and has countless people supporting him, he cannot compare with the fifth prince Etenyi in terms of ability and reputation." Lin Yuzan analyzed calmly, as if everything was under control.
"You are fighting bravely here. I think the battle for the throne in the royal court is almost over. The next great Chanyu has been decided. It must be Wutu. Otherwise, why would you, a bastard who can't even inherit a surname, try so hard to prove yourself?"
As soon as he said this, the tall man opposite him had a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, then he chuckled and looked at him mockingly as if he was looking at a lamb to be slaughtered: "You said so much, but are you waiting for your accomplice to save you? But unfortunately, since I can appear here, your accomplice has already died, so you don't have to delay any longer."
Lin Yuzan raised his eyebrows without comment, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You speak Chinese well, but it's not impressive enough. Do you want me to teach you? After all, you stared at me at the South Gate for so long. If I hadn't saved him, you wouldn't have been willing to show up."
Shulü Qi tightened his grip on Chen Jiaoyi's dagger, obviously angry, "So you already noticed it."
"Guess?" Lin Yuzan looked at him jokingly.
Shulü Qi's cheeks puffed up for a while, then he stared at the person who was speaking with a terrifying look, and said in a cold voice, "I have long heard that the Han people are smart and clever, and today I see that it is indeed true."
"General Shulü has a good attitude. Your army may suffer another defeat soon, or the Chen army may drive you thousands of miles away and you will be abandoned by Wutu. I hope you can still laugh then." Lin Yuzan looked at Shulü Qi without flinching and continued to stab his heart.
"I think you already know that when the food arrives, your chances of winning will be slim. The million-strong army of my Great Zhou Dynasty will also join forces with the Chen family army soon. By then, it will be hard to say whether you can survive."
"And you have already lost contact with the spies in the military camp. Now, as I just said, you can only do whatever you can to save your life."
"You know exactly what I'm thinking." Shulü Qi smiled with an ambiguous meaning, and he loosened his hand slightly, "But I've changed my mind now. I feel that tying up the Chen family is more useful than tying up you."
As soon as the voice fell, Chen Jiaoyi's heart, which was trembling with fear, suddenly shuddered. She looked at Lin Yuzan in grief, "Father Lin, you should run for your life quickly. This person intends to kill us Chen family members, and has nothing to do with you. As a member of the Chen family, I am not afraid of death."
After saying that, she grabbed Shulü Qi's big hand and bit it hard.
Seeing her useless efforts, Lin Yuzan reluctantly reminded her, "Miss Chen, the men in the army have a rough life. I'm afraid they have touched everything. Be careful of what you eat."
Chen Jiaoyi, still with a sad look on her face: …
Shulü Qi: Why do I feel like this person is scolding me?
Lin Yuzan crossed his arms and continued to say to Shulüqi, "If you want to tie me up, there's no need to bother. After all, I'm tired. Just take me away."
"I don't think you can do any tricks." Shulü Qi thought for a moment, then threw Chen Jiaoyi heavily to the ground. The heavy force hurt the little girl and she couldn't stand up.
He raised his hand and looked at the back of his hand that had just been bitten. Blood was oozing from the small teeth marks, which showed how hard he had used.
He glanced coldly at the little girl and happened to meet her eyes full of hatred.
At this time, Lin Yuzan had already walked in front of him, blocking his view, and opened his arms as if accepting his fate, "General Shulu, take me away!"
"Uncle Lin...no." Chen Jiaoyi kept crying and shouting, and crawled towards Shulü Qi, trying to grab his trouser legs to stop him.
The next moment, a letter fell in front of her.
"Although I am a weak man, there is no reason for me to let a child stand up for me."
As he said this, he climbed onto Luqi's neck.
"What are you doing?" Shulü Qi's eyes turned cold, and immediately a strong murderous intent emerged, as if she wanted to tear him into pieces.
Lin Yuzan replied as a matter of course, "Of course I will let General Shulu take me away. I am a weak scholar, you can't let me go alone!"
Shulü Qi: If I hadn't seen you carrying someone and running away with my own eyes, I might have believed it.
He picked up Lin Yuzan with his eyes wide open. Then, he glanced at Chen Jiaoyi again, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a bloodthirsty smile, and then he jumped up without hesitation and left the alley.
"Uncle Lin... wah wah wah..." Chen Jiaoyi looked at the empty alley and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
