40. Breeze (Part 2)

Spring is bright.

On a rare holiday, Lin Huan did not pester Lu Hailan. He squatted by the pond in the yard, staring at the koi fish that he had ruined as a child countless times, and was dazed.

The old eunuch Zhu passed by with a crutch, looked at him for a few times, but didn't say anything. To be honest, Lin Huan's temperament is really unpleasant. In this palace, except Lu Hailan, who spoiled him, neither Zhu Yan nor Flan were very close to him. There was no need to mention Wayne Du, and he couldn't even get away from him.

Old Eunuch Zhu originally planned to leave silently, but Lin Huan suddenly turned around, stared at him without blinking, and shouted: "Grandpa Zhu."

Zhu Yan was slightly stunned, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Young Master Lin."

Lin Huan wanted to speak but stopped. Zhu Yan looked at him and knew that the other party must have encountered something troubled. Although he was not close, Lin Huan was also the one he saw since childhood. Now the child took the initiative to ask for help, which was a good opportunity to enhance his relationship. Lin Huan, this child is too cautious and born with a cold heart. When the White Princess liked him so much, he couldn't make Lin Huan open his heart to her. When he died, Lin Huan didn't see much sadness... Zhu Yan and Flan saw all of these.

However, unlike Flan, Flan doesn't like Lin Huan, but Zhu Yan is not - he has actually been paying attention to Lin Huan, and he sees every growth and change of the other party.

Zhu Yan walked slowly to the pond and did not ask questions on his own initiative. Lin Huan was silent for a moment, and finally hesitated and said-

"Since... the death of Princess Bai, I have been thinking about why she died, why the prince's brother was locked up in this other palace..."

"I can't figure it out."

"I know you have always treated me as a child and think I don't understand anything." He picked up the small stone by the pond, threw it into the water, and said with a self-deprecating smile, "Yes, I really don't understand anything, so you don't tell me anything... It doesn't matter, I can learn, Grandpa Zhu, can you teach me? What should I do?"

Lin Huan raised his head and looked at Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan looked at the boy squatting on the ground, and for a moment, it seemed that he had returned many years ago. He stood by the palace gate and looked at the young general who was walking silently behind his colleagues. The other party seemed to notice his gaze and turned his head to look at him.

A glimpse.

At that time, one of them was an unknown general who had lost his family and the other was a small eunuch called around. No one could have expected the subsequent encounter, but Zhu Yan still clearly remembered the first thought when he saw those eyes.

——Lonely and unruly eyes, like eagle.

If such a person is born in a chaotic world, he will not be able to be a white beacon, and he will create a Bai family in the northern border. In the chaotic world, he will be a hero, and a peaceful life will be a dog, and an eagle and a dog will be a best hawk.

"If you want to learn, it is naturally a good thing." Zhu Yan took back his thoughts and touched Lin Huan's head with a smile. The latter frowned and wanted to hide, but he didn't hide after all.

The old Duke Lin was reluctant to let go, and the Crown Prince was unwilling. Neither wanted to call Lin Huan tamed into a hawk, but there was actually no choice in this matter. There were only two roads in front of Lin Huan, one was to be protected by those two people and be an ignorant flower in a greenhouse, and the other was to take over the Lin family and take over the Lin Qi team, becoming a hawk who was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the imperial royal family.

Old Duke Lin and Lu Hailan chose the first road for Lin Huan, so someone would always come to show another way for Lin Huan. Zhu Yan thought, the role of this evil man was indeed him. His Majesty the Emperor threw his old man, half of his body into the ground, to ask him to pave the way for the little prince and clear the obstacles, not to be a good man and save his life.

"Lin Huan, do you understand what the position of Prince means?"

Old Eunuch Zhu raised his head slightly and squinted his eyes to the artificial satellite sun in the sky. It is said that in ancient times, the parent star of human origin was revolving around such a hot star. But now, the sun in the sky is rotating around the imperial capital. The center of the empire is the imperial capital, His Majesty the Emperor, and the throne of supreme power. The entire empire is rotating around the chair.

The prince is the closest person to the throne except the emperor.

Lin Huan nodded as though he understood, and then shook his head again.

"Haha." Zhu Yan pointed to the fish in the pond with a crutch and smiled, "Here, you often tossed them when you were a child, do you still remember?"

Lin Huan's face looked slightly embarrassed and hesitated and nodded.

"You can toss them at will not be because you have more power than them, but because you know that the owner of this pond will not blame you, right?" Zhu Yan smiled and poked a koi with a crutch, and Lin Huan didn't need Lin Huan to answer, and then said, "This is called power, power, power, power comes first, power comes later... Power means possession and domination."

"You share the right to possess the pond owner, so you can freely control the life and death of these fish. The owner's permission is power. Dominating the life and death of these fish depends on your power, power and power, both are indispensable. Although power is more important, if you do not have power, it is like you are a paralyzed, and even if you have power, you cannot do anything to these fish."

Lin Huan was a little confused when he heard this, but seemed to have grabbed something and hesitated: "You mean, the prince's brother has the right..."

"That's right." Zhu Yan interrupted him, "But he has no strength, it's very dangerous, do you know? He is the owner of the pond, but he has no power to protect this pond. Others will be jealous of the fish in the pond and want to steal the right to possess the pond from him."

Lin Huan's eyebrows stood up little by little, like a slashing knife with a sheath, with violent colors in his eyes, and he whispered: "I understand."

He understood what he should do.

"No, you don't understand." Zhu Yan smiled and shook his head, "I know that you are very talented in martial arts, but your own strength is as strong as the sky, can you fight against a warship? The enemy that the prince's prince has to face is not just a warship. You are guarding by his side, but you are just a bodyguard. What is the difference between you and those guards?"

"I'm different from them." Lin Huan denied it flatly, "I will transfer to the command system, then go to the front line to lead troops to fight, make military achievements, and become a general, just like my grandfather. Whoever dares to touch the prince's brother, I will take his life."

Zhu Yan, who was snatched from the lines, laughed silently, so the person surnamed Lin looked stupid and felt clear about it... the old and young look like a young man.

It's really not adorable.

……………………

On a warm afternoon, the short-haired tiger-patterned cat picked up by Lu Hailan squatted on the railing and scratched his face with his claws. His Royal Highness may be a secret, and he has forgotten to name it until now.

"General... Zhu Yan, I rarely play chess with you. Is it interesting for you to do this?"

He quickly picked up the chess piece he had just fallen back and looked at the old man in his hand, but he didn't look at Lu Hailan sitting opposite him. His Royal Highness, who was completely speechless to this old scoundrel, silently picked up the old cannon he had just prepared for the general and put it back to his previous position helplessly.

"I'm talking about your highness." The old rogue who regretted chess was studying how to go, and slowly spoke, "Which place is Wei An..."

"Can you not mention this?" Lu Hailan was so obsessed with him in the past two days that he was just too big. He said that he wanted to share the firepower for him. He was just a liar.

"No." Zhu Yan smiled and raised his eyes, "I want to say that in Wei'an, the place where Wei'an is blooming in the mountains and fields this season, and it's very beautiful."

"Have you been to Wei'an?"

"It's time to be young." Zhu Yan finally dropped the chess piece, picked up the tea cup beside him, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes as he lowered his head. He closed his eyes and took a sip of tea, and smiled again, "There is another legend about Wei An. I wonder if the little master has heard of it?"

Lu Hailan shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this before."

"Then do you know what the flower language of daisies is?" Zhu Yan asked with a smile.

Lu Hailan admitted that he lacked common sense in this kind of literature and art, and was not interested in supplementing it, so he had to shake his head again.

"Ha, little master, the flower language of daisies is the love hidden deep in my heart." Zhu Yan held the teacup in both hands, looked at Lu Hailan with a smile, sighed slowly, and said, "It is said that five hundred years ago, the two pioneering fleets of the empire arrived at Wei Anxing at the same time. A young man and woman met here and felt a good impression of each other. They agreed that when each other's fleets complete their respective missions, they would return to this planet to meet again."

"They didn't meet again, right?" Lu Hailan said.

"Well, the man's fleet was attacked by the Borbos on the border and was wiped out. The woman later resigned from the military and returned to Wei An and became the first immigrants to settle there. She planted countless daisies with her own hands to mourn her feelings of death."

"General Lang Wei, the most legendary female captain during the empire's northward migration." Lu Hailan nodded and said, "I remembered it when you say that."

Zhu Yan smiled without saying a word, and a few gentle breezes passed by the pavilion. The shadow of the sun fell on the two people sitting opposite each other through the dense shade of the trees. It was a quiet and peaceful afternoon.

The cat on the railing yawned, curled up lazily, and closed his eyes.
