Lu Feng and Lin Xiaojin drove their horses to the boundaries of Jinwan City in the evening.
On the way, Lu Feng also learned more about the specific situation of the Lin family from Lin Xiaojin.
Decades ago, the Lin family was at its peak and ranked among the aristocratic families. The head of the Lin family, who was in power at the time, had five heirs who were capable of both culture and martial arts. Just when everyone thought that the Lin family would be prosperous for another era, the family
The Lord died suddenly of illness.
The eldest son Lin Baixu was appointed to succeed the family head, with the second eldest son Lin Bairu and the third eldest Lin Baijian assisting him. The fourth eldest son Lin Baisu and the fifth eldest Lin Baiying worked hard outside.
Under the leadership of Lin Baixu, the Lin family was able to maintain stable development for a time.
But the good times did not last long. About ten years ago, the second eldest brother Lin Bairu had a big quarrel with Lin Bexu for some unknown reason, and he never returned. The fourth and fifth eldest children also passed away due to accidents one after another.
At this point, the Lin family began to decline.
What really crushed the Lin family was that three years ago, Lin Baixu, the backbone of the family, had a problem with his practice and was seriously injured and died.
Lin Baixu died, and Lin Bairu had not returned for a long time. Although the youngest Lin Baijian succeeded to the throne, due to his mediocre strength and poor popularity, and the fact that the power of the Lin family was not as powerful as before, he could not suppress the foreign guests.
With the loss of guest ministers, the overall strength of the Lin family has been greatly weakened, and it is no longer possible to stay among the aristocratic families. Foreign invasions have begun one after another, and the Lin family has fallen into unprecedented chaos. The family's industries have begun to be exploited by other aristocratic families, and they have gradually lost the profit-making resources on which they relied for development.
the foundation of.
With most of the guests leaving indifferently, the Lin family finally could not bear the pressure and was forced to hand over the sect order and withdraw from the family.
Nowadays, the Lin family, which is still living in Jinwan City, feels very depressed. Although Lin Baijian, the third eldest child in the family, is holding on to the last bit of the Lin family's fortune, it is difficult for him to make much noise.
If his son Lin Lifeng was still alive, there might still be some hope, but unlike now, there is no way out.
From Lin Xiaojin's mouth, Lu Feng also learned about her and her younger sister Lin Xiaowan's life experiences. Their father was Lin Baiying, the fifth eldest child in the family. An accident occurred before the two were born. His mother, Ding Shuang'er, also died when the two were very young.
Then they followed Lin Baiying. The two sisters grew up with the fourth son Lin Baisu.
That is Lin Liyun's father.
Therefore, the two talents are closest to Lin Liyun.
Furthermore, because Lin Liyun was the son of his father, Lin Baisu, who had a drunken affair with a maid, his status in the clan was not well received. After Lin Baisu's death, he suffered even more indifference and criticism.
Lu Feng and the other two rode their horses through the gate of Jinwan City and walked through the main street.
Although the Lin family has fallen into decline, it can still be said to be a powerful family in this small Jinwan city, and the mansion they chose is quite impressive.
"It's just ahead," Lin Xiaojin pointed to the mansion at the corner ahead, with its majestic eaves on one side.
Lu Feng pulled the reins of his horse and slowed down his riding speed. He looked up and could vaguely see the word 'Lin Mansion'.
But when he looked around the entire mansion, his expression couldn't help but darken a bit, and there was a hint of thoughtfulness between his brows.
The two dismounted at the main gate.
Lu Feng subconsciously glanced at a guard guarding the door, raised the horse's rein in his hand, and motioned for the latter to step forward and tie it up.
But he didn't expect that the nurse was still leaning casually at the door. He just glanced at Lin Xiaojin thoughtfully, with no intention of stepping forward to help.
Lin Xiaojin said helplessly with a bitter face: "The Lin family is no longer what it used to be. These nursing home servants are all temporarily invited and are only responsible for reporting on behalf of the family."
As he spoke, he took the reins of the horse from Lu Feng's hand and led the horse to the small stone pier outside the mansion.
Lu Feng said with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Such indifferent hospitality, doesn't it chill the hearts of the guests?"
Lin Xiaojin sighed, "Nowadays, there are very few guests coming to the Lin Mansion."
As he spoke, he even laughed at himself, "Even I haven't been back for a long time."
Lu Feng's face froze slightly. It seemed that the Lin family's situation was much more difficult than he expected. He originally thought that a skinny camel was bigger than a horse, but he didn't expect that the Lin family might not even be as big as a horse.
The nurse vaguely heard the indifferent words in Lu Feng's mouth, and with a hint of evil in his eyes, he scolded: "Who are you?"
Lin Xiaojin stood up and responded: "He is my brother Liyun!"
"Li Yun? Isn't Lin Liyun dead early? You can't find a good excuse for lying!" The nurse's face darkened, and he said disdainfully: "The master once ordered that no matter who is unfamiliar to you in recent days, he must give his approval.
"
Lin Xiaojin's face hardened, "Then I'll go and tell Third Uncle."
The nurse smiled happily and said, "The master is not here."
A flash of thought flashed in Lu Feng's eyes, he was a little curious about the guard's unusual behavior. Even if he didn't know him, why didn't even Lin Xiaojin seem to recognize him?
The calmness on Lu Feng's face gradually turned cold, and he stopped Lin Xiaojin who was about to continue speaking.
It is obviously impossible to rely on lips and tongue alone to protect the hospital like this!
Lin Xiaojin understood immediately and said softly, "Strike gently."
Before coming here, the two of them had discussed how they should return, and finally agreed that instead of pretending to be submissive and timid, it would be better to come back openly and domineeringly. On the contrary, it would be less likely for people to suspect the false identity, and it would further demonstrate the identity caused by amnesia.
And Yan Yan's temperament changed drastically, which used this to avoid unnecessary inquiries.
The nurse looked at Lu Feng, who kept approaching him, with a look of fear on his face, and scolded: "What are you going to do? This is the Lin family. If you dare to do anything wrong, the Lin family will not let you go!"
Lu Feng smiled faintly and said, "Are you done?"
The nurse was shocked.
Lu Feng raised his hand and waved, and a sharp palm wind swept out, like a huge slap, hitting Hu Yuan directly.
boom!
The guardian, who had only the strength of the Condensing Core Realm, was knocked away by a palm without any resistance and hit the door behind him.
The guard was stunned by the slap. After landing, he quickly got up and shouted towards the door: "Someone broke into the house! Someone broke into the house!"
Lu Feng did not stop him and allowed the nursing home to shout. This was what he wanted.
Soon, the sound of dense footsteps came from the mansion.
The door opened, and more than a dozen guards with the strength of the Five Elements Realm stood at the door with spears in their hands, and their spears with cold light pointed directly at Lu Feng.
But no one took action.
Because Lin Xiaojin was standing beside Lu Feng.
These guards were obviously different from the previous guards. They still knew Lin Xiaojin, and they were a little confused about the situation in front of them.
During the stalemate, a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe and a small beard walked out of the house. After seeing it, the guards took two steps back, made way for a passage, and saluted in unison: "
Mr. Zhong.”
Lin Xiaojin was also introducing Lu Feng softly at this time: "This person is Zhong Sanxiao. Uncle Zhong is the only guest in the family who remains. He owes a lot to the fact that the Lin family can maintain its last foundation."
A single sword makes no mistake, Zhong Sanxiao!
Lu Feng had already heard about such a person when he came here. Regardless of his own powerful strength in the Heavenly Soul Realm, Lu Feng only received a favor from the old family master Lin when he was young, so he has no hesitation.
I still deeply respect the fact that I chose to surrender during the most declining period of the Lin family.
