King Yan?

Perhaps Lin Weixi's expression was too dazed. The county magistrate thought that she didn't know who King Yan was, so he could only add: "That is His Highness King Yan. He came to the capital to help the new emperor. The late emperor was appointed before his death." He is one of the three auxiliary ministers. Now he has just returned from quelling the border chaos and came to Shunde Mansion to send the remains of Marquis Zhongyong back home."

Of course Lin Weixi knew who King Yan was. She looked at the man outside, almost in a trance. This was the world-famous and accomplished King Yan, the father-in-law whom she had never met in her previous life.

In her previous life, Lin Weixi was scolded by many noble ladies in the capital for two years because she married the only son of King Yan. Later, she and Gu Chengyao broke up, and the scolding outside became less severe. But even so, no one can deny that Lin Weixi married well in her previous life. She was the legitimate daughter of the Duke and the granddaughter of the eldest princess. With such a prominent status, marrying the son of King Yan was still a high-end marriage.

Lin Weixi's maternal grandmother was a royal princess. She spent most of her time in the princess's mansion every year, so Lin Weixi heard about King Yan's deeds when she was very young. It is said that King Yan led his troops to the battlefield at the age of fifteen. The old King Yan died of illness in the first year of Jianzhao, and Gu Huiyan, who was only seventeen years old, became the new King of Yan. In the past ten years, he had fought in the north and south, and was highly valued by Mu Zong. Later, chaos broke out in the palace, and Mu Zong's first secret edict was sent to King Yan when he was critically ill. King Yan lived up to everyone's expectations and quelled the chaos in the capital and cleared the court. Later, he was left alone by Mu Zong to assist the eight-year-old eldest son of the emperor, now the little emperor.

Lin Weixi grew up hearing about King Yan's deeds. She didn't know how happy she was to be able to marry Gu Chengyao. But she and Prince Yan's palace were not blessed after all. Lin Weixi married Gu Chengyao in the first month of the fourth year of Yuanjia. In the second year of Yuanjia, Prince Yan went out to the capital to quell the rebellion of the Duo Huolati tribe. Even though his son didn't come back from his wedding, he would never come back again. Then she died.

Lin Weixi did not expect that she would not have the opportunity to meet Prince Yan even after marrying into Prince Yan's palace, but after her rebirth, she met the legendary God of War in a small village.

Lin Weixi felt very complicated inside. She and Gu Chengyao had such a quarrel. According to Lin Weixi's temperament, she should have hated the whole house and had no good impression of the entire Prince Yan's Mansion. But when Lin Weixi saw King Yan himself, he realized that he couldn't express his anger at all. King Yan just stood there, and invisible pressure enveloped the whole place, making people dare not even look down upon him, let alone Dare to complain.

It turned out that this was King Yan... Lin Weixi was shocked beyond words. King Yan was so young and his appearance was extremely outstanding. It's just that in his position, no one can notice his appearance. He held a high position and no strangers were allowed to enter. Under such threat of killing, who would dare to comment on King Yan's appearance.

Maybe it was because Lin Weixi had been staring for so long that Gu Huiyan, who was used to being noticed, even slightly moved his eyebrows. Gu Huiyan is the commander-in-chief in the army and the head of the family in the palace. He will never lack sight, but there are few girls of Lin Weixi's age. He had been fighting for many years, and his killing aura was so awe-inspiring that even Queen Mother Qian felt a little restrained when seeing him, let alone other women. When they were in the capital, the younger women lowered their heads and held their breath when they saw him, and the ladies who had not left the court were so frightened that they did not dare to raise their heads. There were only a few people like Lin Weixi who took the initiative to look at him, and they could stare at him for such a long time without hesitation. Yes, then she is the only one. Moreover, this little girl’s eyes are also very interesting.

Gu Huiyan looked back with a slight smile, the probing meaning in his eyes was hidden deep and almost undetectable. Lin Weixi unexpectedly caught Gu Huiyan's gaze. After only a brief moment of looking at each other, Lin Weixi quickly lowered her head to avoid King Yan's gaze.

When Gu Huiyan saw Lin Weixi bowing his head, he stopped forcing a little girl. If Lin Weixi hadn't looked at her for too long and her eyes were very strange, Gu Huiyan would not have looked back at a little girl. Of course, Gu Huiyan knew the pressure of looking at him. He was just a kid, he pretended not to know and passed by.

Lin Weixi lowered his head, his heart pounding in his chest. It was too scary. Her father-in-law in the previous life turned out to be so scary. She originally thought that there was no difference between father and son, but after meeting him in person today, she realized that her imagination of King Yan was still too shallow.

After everyone knew that King Yan had arrived, the atmosphere at the scene immediately changed. The county magistrate and Li were facing a formidable enemy. Po Wang and Aunt Lin had already retreated to the corner, shivering. Lin Wei Xi also lowered her head and drooped her ears like a rabbit. She still had the majesty of her verbal battle with the scholars just now.

Gu Huiyan took a long detour not to listen to Lin Weixi and her aunt arguing. After he beat the county magistrate, he asked: "Where is Lin Yong's tomb?"

He came to Shunde Mansion to send Lin Yong's bones to the ground, and to take a look at Lin Yong's only daughter, who was Lin Yong's only concern before his death. Now it seems that Lin Yong's description of his daughter is very inaccurate. Gu Huiyan has settled the matter with Lin Weixi, so he will naturally open the coffin and bury Lin Yong's bones.

Opening a coffin is no small matter. Li Zheng and the village chief led Gu Huiyan to Lin Yong's tomb, and half of the men in the village followed him. At this time, Lin Weixi was very dissatisfied with her daughter's identity. Just because she was a woman, she could not personally participate in such a major event as the relocation of her biological father's bones.

Because this incident disrupted the situation, Aunt Lin was in a daze and had long since lost her mind to arrange a marriage for Lin Weixi. Lin Weixi also returned to her house with worries. She originally went out to get a cloth to wipe the water on the ground, but after such a long time, the water on the ground dried up. Lin Weixi stared at the water stains for a long time, the confusion in his eyes dissipated, and his eyes gradually became firm.

She can't stay in this ignorant little village, where everyone has the same surname. She can escape Li Da and Li Yuanwai, but she can't escape Li Er and Li San. She is extremely wealthy but has no ability to protect herself. If she continues to stay in the village, she will only get herself killed.

Lin Weixi relived his life, and what he cherished most was his own life.

However, she was a single and weak woman with no parental protection, no family deterrent, and a very burdensome face. Even if she converted all her land and wealth into silver notes and planned to escape from the village, she would not be able to escape on the road. Can't run long.

The only way is King Yan. Although Lin Weixi was reluctant to continue dealing with King Yan's family, for now, only King Yan could take her away unscathed and find a place for her to settle down.

As for how to convince King Yan... Lin Weixi, who has never been coquettish or begging for love with a man, is in a dilemma. She should do her best...

.

Opening the coffin and moving the tomb is not an easy task. By the time the work is over, it is already dark. The village chief was very wise and immediately invited King Yan to come and settle down in his humble residence. The county magistrate also urged King Yan to go to the county seat. He had already arranged to receive Fengjiu.

Gu Huiyan didn't want to go through too much trouble. He had been marching for many years and had long been no longer picky about the environment, so he didn't mobilize troops to go to the county seat. Instead, he took people to stay at the village chief's house for a night.

Gu Huiyan led the army back to the court this time. Halfway through, he left the army with his confidants and came to Shunde Mansion to send Lin Yong's body to the ground. He set off directly to catch up with the army tomorrow. After all, it was still during the march, and it would not be good for him as a coach to be away from the army for too long.

Gu Huiyan refused to stay in the county seat. Although the county magistrate was regretful, he was quietly relieved deep in his heart. Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Although this person is not a king, his influence is great. He should not gamble his career and career.

The village chief was flattered when he learned that His Highness Prince Yan really wanted to live in his home. He immediately sent people back to clean up the house and notified other squires who had idle houses. King Yan also brought many close friends with him on this trip. Even if the countryside is large and there are many empty houses, it is not a small matter to accommodate so many people at once.

The village chief left in a hurry. Gu Huiyan was not in a hurry to go back, so he dismounted his horse, dismissed his entourage, and walked slowly on the moonlight rural road. It was rare for him to have such a relaxed time, with no war, no government affairs, and no entertainment. The vast starry sky was above his head, and the land still covered with frost was beneath his feet. He was aimless and undisturbed.

Once it becomes extremely dark at night in the countryside, the starlight in the sky vaguely outlines the trees on both sides. Gu Huiyan's ears suddenly twitched and his steps stopped.

The clouds in the sky cover the moon, and there are shadows in the trees. I can’t see clearly. I can only see a vague shadow: "...Dad, I can’t bear to be an unfilial daughter. I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I was killed as soon as I was born. I didn't tell my mother, but I also made you run around for me. Six years ago, you said you would save a dowry for me so that I could go home and wait for your good news. But I didn't expect that the separation between our father and daughter would be forever. Dad, you sacrificed your life for the country and are the great hero of the whole dynasty. My daughter should be proud of you... However, my daughter would rather her father never went to the capital. My daughter doesn’t want any dowry. We, father and daughter, depend on each other for life. We should live a good life like this. How wonderful. Now that your heroic spirit has returned and your bones have returned home, I can’t even see you off to your grave..."

Gu Huiyan stopped where he was, his face hidden in the night and unable to be seen clearly. The person standing far behind saw that King Yan had not moved for a long time and wanted to step forward to ask, but was pinned to the spot by Gu Huiyan's gesture.

It was dark here, and Gu Huiyan walked quietly alone without making much noise. Lin Weixi didn't know what was going on outside the road. She was immersed in grief and squatted under the tree where she played as a child to mourn her father: "Dad, my daughter respects you as a hero. You have a good journey. My mother died in childbirth as soon as I was born. It was you who You raised me as a father and a mother. My daughter doesn’t want to get married. I really don’t want to get married. I just want to stay with my father and be your little girl. You are going back to your hometown today, and your daughter will see you off. If you If there is knowledge under the spring, you no longer have to worry about your unfilial daughter."

"If you really never marry, he won't be able to rest in peace."

Lin Wei Xi was surprised and stood up from the ground, with slightly dry tears still hanging on his face. She looked in the direction of the person and stared for a long time before she recognized the speaker in the dim night: "His Royal Highness King Yan?"

"It's me." Gu Huiyan slowly walked out of the shadows. He stopped three steps away from Lin Weixi. Looking at the delicate and pale girl in front of him, whose waist was not as thick as his arm, he couldn't help but sigh, "You are young. You are young, you are in your prime years, why do you need to say such depressing words?"

"It's not a depressing statement." Lin Weixi was not used to being seen crying. She wanted to raise her hand to wipe her tears but felt it was too obvious, so she turned away and looked to the side hard, "Today, let Yan The king laughed. Since the little girl has made a big mistake, there is no need to worry about family affairs. She might as well tell the truth to King Yan. Look at my current situation, even if you help me get back my father's golden book and iron certificate, what do you think? Can I hold on? My biological aunt is like this, let alone the other people in the village. They all have the surname Li, and my surname is Lin. If anything happens in the future, I won’t even be able to escape."

Gu Huiyan quickly heard the crux: "Are you unwilling to get married?"

"There are so many women in the world, and everyone has their own way of living, why do you have to get married!" Lin Weixi couldn't help but raise her voice, and then she realized that she was too emotional. She took a deep breath and lowered her head. He raised his head and whispered, "I'm sorry, little girl, I'm rude."

Children these days don’t like getting married, and Gu Huiyan couldn’t explain it in detail to a young girl who had not yet left the government, so he could only put aside the topic, no longer push her, but asked softly: “What are your plans? ”

"Your Highness, King Yan." Lin Weixi suddenly and solemnly gave a junior salute to King Yan, raised her eyes, and looked at Gu Huiyan intently and firmly, "My little girl has admired King Yan's achievements since she was a child. Now I can see you in person. , has been my daughter's blessing in the past and present lives. Thank you for your help today. I know that you are pushing too far, but I still want to take the liberty to ask you to take me away from Lijia Village. After leaving here, King Yan will just put me in an unmanned place. In the small town where we met, the little girl didn’t want to be known as the widow of Marquis Zhongyong. From then on, she abided by her father’s imperial edict of making her a marquis, chanted sutras and worshiped Buddha every day, and lived a peaceful life, and she was satisfied.”

Gu Huiyan focused his eyes on her, and his voice could not tell the difference between happiness and anger: "You just want to leave? Think clearly, this is your hometown, the place where your only family in the world is."

"My little girl has thought clearly. This is not my hometown. My father and aunt fled here because of the famine. My aunt integrated into this village after getting married, but my father couldn't live in peace because of me. For me, This place can’t even be called my hometown. The place where my father is is my hometown.”

Gu Huiyan looked at Lin Weixi for a while, then raised his eyes and looked at the vast starry sky behind him. Lin Weixi was so nervous that her palms were almost sweating. Her behavior today is very risky, but King Yan will leave tomorrow. If she doesn't act tonight, she will never have another chance.

Gu Huiyan withdrew his gaze from the stars in the sky, glanced at Lin Weixi gently, turned around and left. Lin Weixi's heart almost jumped out of his throat. What does King Yan mean? She deliberately imitated Gao Ran's method and "accidentally" cried and was heard, but she still failed?

Lin Weixi couldn't help but chase after him for two steps: "His Royal Highness King Yan..."

"It's getting late and it's getting colder outside. You should go back first."

"You haven't decided yet whether you want to take me with you or not!"

Gu Huiyan sighed in his heart. He had been in power for many years, and this was the first time he was questioned like this. Fortunately, the personal followers behind him were standing far away, otherwise if they heard these words, his private affairs would be spread throughout the world tomorrow. These people had been with King Yan for many years, trusting each other through life and death. Gu Huiyan regarded these people as brothers and sisters, but there was only one bad thing about these rough men, and that was that they cared too much about his personal affairs.

A princess is not a necessity. Prince Yan's palace is just fine as it is now, and he has no shortage of heirs. In this way, there is no need to marry a new princess.

What's more, there is a green little girl in front of him. She looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she is younger than his son. Gu Huiyan knew that Lin Weixi was just anxious when he shouted this and had no other meaning. Gu Huiyan was already old and he did not want his reputation to be ruined in this place, so he stopped and explained his plan to others for the first time: "I will find you a safe place to settle you. Don't worry, Lin Yong has saved my life. You are his only daughter, and I will not leave you alone."

Lin Weixi finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he got the right words from King Yan. Since Gu Huiyan became King of Yan at the age of seventeen, or earlier, since he joined the army at the age of fifteen and came into contact with the war, he has never been called so rudely. Gu Huiyan didn't want to argue with a little girl. He continued to walk forward. He heard footsteps behind him after not taking two steps, and the little girl caught up with him again: "Your Highness, King Yan, if I follow you tomorrow, I will go with you tonight." Do you want to pack your things? When will we meet tomorrow?"

It was again such ambiguous words but others would definitely doubt his character if they heard them. Gu Huiyan could only stop and said to Lin Weixi: "You don't have to worry, I will send someone to take care of it. Miss Lin, it's getting late, you go first Go back."

She could understand that Lin Weixi didn't need to pack her luggage, but she didn't even say it for an hour? Lin Weixi was very suspicious and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, King Yan, are you trying to trick me?"

Gu Huiyan never thought that one day he would hear such words from others. He smiled softly and asked: "What did you say?"

Lin Weixi shut up and lowered his head silently under Gu Huiyan's gaze. Seeing this, Gu Huiyan looked away and continued to walk towards his horse without joy or anger.

After Gu Huiyan walked out a little, Lin Weixi thought he couldn't hear him, so she muttered in a very small voice: "They are not good people."

Gu Huiyan stopped in his tracks and his eyes darkened slightly. It was the first time that he was repeatedly provoked and restrained. He didn't look back, and said lightly to the back: "The night wind is cold, Miss Lin, you'd better go back quickly. Next time you want to say something to me, just come to me directly. There is no need to go so far to blow the cold wind under the tree."

Lin Weixi regretted it after saying what she said. She was in a mood just now. She thought of Gu Chengyao for some reason and felt that there were no good people in the Gu family. Who would have thought that she would actually say it out loud. She regretted it as soon as she blurted it out. It was true that Gu Chengyao was sorry for her, but King Yan had never done anything to feel sorry for her. He was the patron saint of this dynasty, and he even helped her. How could she say that she was so ungrateful? if. When he heard what King Yan said after that, Lin Weixi's face turned red and he could hardly speak: "You know?"

How could I not know that her concealment and skills were too poor. Gu Huiyan did not stop this time and walked straight into the night.
