Chapter 364 Wang Lin's Memoirs
Chapter 364 Wang Lin's Memoirs
Chen Jiaoyi's cries echoed in the alley, sounding particularly weak and miserable.
Wang Lin, who was searching alone in the city, soon heard the noise and rushed to her side.
When he saw Chen Jiaoyi lying on the ground, he first felt relieved, but then he felt helpless.
There was an explosion and fire in Chen's house just now, and he went to help immediately.
Unexpectedly, during this period, no one mentioned to him that Chen Jiaoyi and her daughter were missing, and he was not smart enough to notice it.
If he hadn't accidentally heard the little girl asking others about it in a panic when he was about to return to his room, he would probably not know until the next day.
Saving lives is like putting out a fire. How can it be delayed because of a woman's reputation? We even have to go to the military camp to ask General Chen for instructions first? It is really difficult to understand the thoughts of this noble family.
"Ms. Chen, don't cry. I will take you back now. Are you hurt anywhere?" Wang Lin strode to Chen Jiaoyi and comforted her softly.
"Uncle Wang Er?" Chen Jiaoyi was overjoyed when she heard the familiar voice. She quickly raised her head, tears streaming down her cheeks, but she was unaware of it.
However, when she saw Wang Lin approaching, she broke down again and burst into tears: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Lin was captured by Shulü Qi! He came to the South Gate to save me, but was captured by Shulü Qi."
"What did you say?" Wang Lin's face froze instantly, and he didn't dare to believe what he heard.
Chen Jiaoyi lowered her head, tears pouring out like a broken dam, choking with sobs and saying sadly, "Just now Shulü Qi also said... he also said that he killed Uncle Lin's accomplice. Is the accomplice he mentioned Uncle Wang? Uncle Lin and Uncle Wang went on a study tour together, is it him?"
At this moment, Wang Lin was already disturbed by the word "accomplice". An unacceptable thought emerged in his mind, and he could not hear Chen Jiaoyi's questions at all.
"South Gate" Wang Lin murmured these two words in a low voice, and then rushed straight to the South Gate in panic.
At the same time, 66, who had also arrived, pursed his lips, ran back to where Lin Yuzan had put his bag, took out the notebook again, and wrote "The subject of observation was captured, suspected of treason, and can be castrated."
He wrote this sentence in a depressed mood, then picked up Lin Yuzan's bag worth ten thousand taels and ran towards another city gate.
Not long after, Wang Lin also arrived at the South Gate. The strong smell of blood instantly hit his nose, causing his mind to go blank.
His feet felt as if they were filled with thousands of pounds of lead water, and every step he took was extremely difficult. He stared blankly at the large pool of blood on the ground with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"Impossible... This is impossible! This is impossible!" Wang Lin pounced on the bloodstain and grabbed the bloody soil. The scene of meeting Wang Cheng emerged in his mind, and countless regrets surged in his heart.
It was him...it was him who killed Wang Cheng.
Why would Wang Cheng come here to save people? He is obviously a selfish and cold person who cherishes his life very much, so why would he save people? Lin Yuzan would not do that even more. He would run away even faster if something happened because it had nothing to do with him.
It must be him who asked Wang Cheng to leave first, but he happened to run into Shulü Qi kidnapping the mother and daughter of the Chen family, which aroused Shulü Qi's murderous intention.
How could this be? He had clearly returned, thinking that everything was still in time, but he indirectly caused Wang Cheng's early death.
He had not yet warned him to stay away from the evil woman Leng Mengwan.
He hasn't told him yet, so don't hurt his parents' feelings anymore.
He has not yet...
But now, he has completely destroyed it all.
Wang Lin stared blankly at the bright red stain on his palms caused by the dirt. Tears slowly emerged in his eyes. The cold bloodstains printed the scene of his last meeting with Wang Cheng in his previous life...
...In memory...
Wang Cheng's cold body was placed in a simple coffin and was sent out of Yanjing by Sheng Jingzhan and finally brought to him.
Wang Lin ordered his men to open the coffin. A foul smell of corpse wafted through the air, but he could still recognize the familiar look of his brother in the rotten face.
The next moment, he looked at the man on the city wall with a terrifying gaze—Sheng Jingzhan, the new emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.
"General Wang, although the North City is peaceful now, you shouldn't leave your post and run to Yanjing. Considering that this is your first offense, I will spare you this time because you have guarded the border for the Zhou Dynasty for many years." Sheng Jingzhan stood on the high city wall and said in a condescending tone.
Under the city wall, tens of thousands of soldiers stood in neat rows, their eyes all looking at the leader.
Wang Lin slowly turned his eyes away from the corpse, raised the spear in his hand, pointed it at Sheng Jingzhan, and asked angrily, "I ask you, why did Wang Cheng die?"
Sheng Jingzhan frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face.
Leng Mengwan stood beside him, gently holding his arm, and comforted him softly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. General Wang may be a little emotional because of the loss of his relatives."
Then, she wiped her tears and replied loudly, "Wang Lin, the late emperor passed away. The Grand Master regarded the late emperor as his own son and followed him in grief. We couldn't stop him!"
"I originally wanted to give my elder brother a grand funeral, but you ignored him and came here from the North City with tens of thousands of generals. The emperor has just ascended the throne, and you have already caused such a big mess..."
Before she could finish her words, an arrow came straight towards her.
Leng Mengwan screamed and was pushed away by Sheng Jingzhan who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.
The arrow grazed her cheek, leaving a long blood mark.
"Witch, you relied on your face that looks like my sister to fool my brother-in-law, fool my elder brother, and now you want to fool me. What a sorrow that follows you. I want to see if Sheng Jingzhan will die for you after you die."
As he said this, Wang Lin was about to shoot the second arrow with murderous intent.
At this moment, a childish voice sounded behind him, "You can't kill her now, Wang Lin."
Then, a little boy of about seven or eight squeezed out from the soldiers and rushed over. He quickly glanced at the person in the coffin, then lowered his voice and said to Wang Lin, "Leng Mengwan cannot be killed. She is a bug in this world. If she dies now, she will possess another person. By then, you will not be able to take revenge. Are you willing to accept this?"
"Come back with me first, I will think about how to kill her completely." The little boy advised earnestly.
Wang Lin's hands, which were tightly gripping the bow, were shaking uncontrollably. He lowered his eyes, and his gaze pierced the little boy like an icy blade. This man was also a demon. He had followed him for several years, but he had not changed at all.
"I know where your father is. Come back with me and I will tell you." The little boy said more and more anxiously.
At this time, Sheng Jingzhan, who was in charge, was already angry at Wang Lin's behavior. "Wang Lin, I have been tolerant of you because of our friendship. If you continue to be so presumptuous, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Second brother, have you forgotten the friendship we had for two hours? If it weren't for me, you would have been sentenced to death by the emperor the moment you came out of North City." Leng Mengwan's tone suddenly changed, and it was surprisingly similar to Wan Niang's.
Listening to this familiar tone, Wang Lin closed his eyes in pain. He always remembered that his eldest brother made his mother sick and the family fell apart, all because of this person's lies.
If the eldest brother believed her, he would not be his eldest brother.
"All generals, listen to my order. Surround Yanjing tightly. If anyone leaves the city, kill him without mercy." Wang Lin gave the order decisively.
"Wang Lin, you are plotting treason." Sheng Jingzhan shouted angrily.
"Oh? Your throne was not obtained legitimately. I am only fighting against traitors." Wang Lin responded with a sneer on his face. "If you still cannot give me a convincing explanation for my elder brother's death within three days, I will make you the emperor with the shortest reign in history."
After issuing the ultimatum, Wang Lin turned his horse around and disappeared from everyone's sight with Wang Cheng's coffin.
Wang Lin hated Wang Cheng.
If he hadn't refused to explain and hurt mother, how could she have vomited blood every day.
More than once he saw his mother trying to find Wang Cheng, but left sadly just a few steps away.
Even though he brought his parents to North City, they were still thinking about this unfilial son.
If it weren't for this unfilial son, my mother wouldn't have died of depression, and my father wouldn't have wanted to take one more look at Wang Cheng to see if he was doing well after my mother died, but ended up disappearing.
And now, the unfilial son who harmed his parents has finally died.
He should have been happy, but he couldn't help feeling sad, and led tens of thousands of generals to attack Yanjing.
"Hey, do you still hate Wang Cheng?" The little boy silently watched Wang Lin preparing for cremation alone. When Wang Cheng's body was completely engulfed by the fire, he finally couldn't help but ask this question.
"When a person dies, the light goes out. Let's not talk about it anymore." Wang Lin replied calmly, "I want to take Wang Cheng's ashes back and bury them next to my mother."
The little boy nodded and didn't ask this meaningless question again. Then, Wang Lin's question rang in his head, "Lin Gun Gun, where is my father?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Gungun immediately lowered his head and started counting with his fingers. His face then stiffened and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
"explain…"
"Wang, Wang Lin, what a coincidence. Your father just passed away a while ago." Lin Gungun replied hesitantly.
Wang Lin:......
He stared at the blazing fire for a long time, and sighed in loneliness, "It turns out that I am the only one left in this world."
——End of memories——
At this moment, the sky seemed to hear Wang Lin’s grief and began to drizzle.
He suddenly came to his senses and looked around frantically for something.
"Where's my brother's body... Where's my brother's body..." Wang Lin paused as if waking up from a dream, then gritted his teeth and said, "Shuluqi, you even want to take away my brother's body."
He stared at the direction where the sound of soldiers fighting came from with hatred, then suddenly stood up and disappeared into the night.
Early next morning
A long caravan of merchants drove out of the north city. Wang Cheng looked at the soldiers at the city gate cleaning up the bodies of their compatriots with numb expressions, and sighed slightly.
After all, the trajectory of his previous life overlapped. Wang Lin killed people everywhere outside the city last night and became famous overnight. The name of the God of Killing will probably resound throughout the Great Zhou.
Wang Cheng looked back at the bloodstained city gate, no longer reluctant to leave, and followed the caravan with a determined look.
Shulü Qi in his tent
Lin Yuzan was tied to the table and watched Shulü Qi's frustrated look with interest.
"Who is this Wang Lin? Why have I never heard of his name before?" Shulü Qi grabbed Lin Yuzan's collar and broke through his defense.
"General Shulu, don't be angry. If you scare me, I might forget who Wang Lin is." Lin Yuzan replied slowly.
"You..." Shulü Qi's face turned red with anger again, but she still wanted this smart man to be her think tank and not be able to influence him.
Then, he heard Lin Yuzan say, "General Shulu, run away quickly. Wang Lin might want to eat your blood and eat your flesh. You can't beat him."
Shulüqi: ...
One day not long after, Wang and Lin met again in Harahelin.
Wang Cheng: "Shun'an, you really are tough on the outside but soft on the inside."
Lin Yuzan: "Shut up, I was abducted."
Wang Cheng: "It's easy for you to escape. You are obviously just being hard on the outside but soft on the inside."
Lin Yuzan: “…, shut up!”
