A small manor somewhere in the mountains and forests.
inside the house.
Tian Yan knelt down in front of his mother's bed. His mother reached out and gently pinched Tian Yan's chin. She looked at this pretty face carefully. It seemed that she could see the shadows of other people in Tian Yan's face and eyes.
"I don't know." Tian Yan replied tremblingly, his voice very soft.
She was afraid of making her mother angry because she gave everything to her.
Really scared.
The so-called family love means that blood is thicker than water, it means relying on each other, and it means slowly becoming an important part of each other's life.
Parents spend all their efforts raising their children, and their children also nurture them in return. Tian Yan wants to be the kind of person who makes his relatives feel at ease and proud.
Without her, maybe my mother would be as powerful as Zhanri now, or maybe her martial arts would have a breakthrough here, and she wouldn't be like this...
So now when she faced her mother's indifference, she was particularly... frightened.
Love and guilt are far sharper than "Frightened Salamander"...
"Because Ah Ci can't hide things from others, can't lie, and can't hide things." His mother looked at Tian Yan meaningfully and said.
"Mother, I...I'm...sorry." Tian Yan said helplessly, with mixed feelings in his heart and a thousand words to say, but only one sentence of "I'm sorry" was left on his lips.
"Lies are also a way to protect yourself, but you can't let yourself become a part of the lies, Ayan." His mother helped Tian Yan up from the ground with a little heartache.
"Has the darkness you have experienced made you not even believe me?" The mother, dressed in pear-yellow clothes, looked at Tian Yan in front of her and said with some sadness.
Her beautiful face is full of complicated expressions.
Tian Yan stood in front of his mother with his head lowered, speechless.
"Why did you send someone to sow discord between Tian Zhong and the Zhu family?" Mother continued to ask Tian Yan.
The tone was very calm.
Tian Yan was shocked. She had never told her mother about these things. How did her mother know?
But then she felt relieved. Her mother knew her identity, and she was once a top-notch assassin in Luo Wen. Her understanding of Luo Wen was far beyond anyone else's, and it was not surprising that she could deduce and review everything from clues.
"Don't be afraid, mother just wants to know, is my Ayan okay now?
If you have a reason to hide it from me, it's nothing, but I don't understand why.
They don't have a choice, but you do." Mother continued to speak calmly.
Tian Yan did not dare to look up and did not notice the tears streaking across her beautiful face.
You know what? I'm really afraid that you will follow the same path I did before.
In this chaotic world, perhaps no one can give the right path.
The lives of the civilians are as low as nothing. They spend their whole lives surviving in fear, panic, hunger, cold, and war. But when the war comes, all the bubbles of hope burst instantly. The ruts of chariots and the iron hooves of war horses crush the humblest people.
dignity, the tiniest dream.
The dignitaries rushed to make moves on the chessboard, until someone lifted the table, and then everyone looked at the mess in front of them and cried without tears.
But the beautiful woman sitting in front of Tian Yan knew that something must be wrong. Some doors, once opened, would be difficult to get rid of.
"Mother..." Tian Yan sat on the ground helplessly.
She has been thinking about sitting like this for a long time, because standing is very tiring, isn't it?
"The snowball rolled down from the top of the snowy mountain, getting bigger and bigger along the way. Finally, when it was the strongest and fastest, it probably fell apart.
But it can't help it, because when it jumps from the top of the mountain and gains more strength and power, where the snowball rolls bigger and bigger is no longer the same as the little snowball it once was.
.
Even if it wants to stop, the snow attached to it and even the path between heaven and earth will not agree.
Of course, this metaphor may not be perfect or even appropriate enough." Tian Yan said bitterly with a smile and lowered his head.
"A person who can clearly see his future may not be able to prevent the cruel future that is coming. This is probably the so-called "the most wisdom will inevitably hurt"." Tian Yan continued, his tone calm.
"Smart people are always in pain." My mother also said with emotion.
"It's a pity that I'm not smart." Tian Yan continued to lower her head and shook her head. Then she looked up at her mother and saw the tears on her mother's face. Her heart trembled and her expression suddenly changed.
"I really don't dare to tell you, for fear that you will be sad." Tian Yan looked into his mother's eyes and said.
"What are you afraid of?" Mother asked.
"I know how much effort you put into asking for the trap, and I also know that you didn't want me to do it.
Tian Meng, I will kill him.
He harmed you, and Aci, if it hadn't been for him...
He deserves to die.
I severely wounded and captured Tian Guang, the peasant hero, with my own hands. Tian Guang didn't know that Tian Meng was colluding with the trap, but he knew that I killed him. Now, Tian Guang is in the hands of Zhao Gao.
Qin's unification is unstoppable. When the tide rises, all boats will be lifted. I'm afraid... the whole world will be our enemy.
One person and one sword can easily defeat hundreds of thousands of enemies. If you defeat a whole country, it will be difficult for hundreds of families." Tian Yan said in a bitter tone. He finished his words here and already had nothing to say.
With my mother's wisdom, there is no need to say the rest.
Neither of them spoke, and the room fell silent for a moment.
"Then what are you going to do next?" After a long time, my mother asked.
"Take one step at a time and tie the interests of more and more people to this chariot. The more people who have the same interests as us, the safer we will be." Tian Yan replied.
When she comes back this time, she will leave for the Yin-Yang family soon because the Yin-Yang family is recruiting each other.
But before leaving, she planned to further expand the scale of the business, and at the same time reduce the agricultural taxes of the farmers in the areas under her control in Daze Mountain, and at the same time, through greater benefits, more people would follow her wholeheartedly.
In this way, an early-stage entrepreneurial team that belonged entirely to her was born.
"Someone is coming." Tian Yan stood up suddenly and subconsciously touched his waist. With his keen perception, Tian Yan noticed the appearance of a breath.
The golden light flashed in her eyes, and with her ability to detect words and colors, she quickly captured the information about the person coming.
"Huh, it turns out to be Sanniang." Tian Yan let out a long breath and said.
"Don't worry, Dianqing hasn't made any mistakes since he took over the defense of Lieshan Hall." His mother looked at Tian Yan, who was so skillful in doing this and made people feel distressed, and said comfortingly.
She really wanted to tell her daughter that she was not as dangerous as she said...
"Yes." Tian Yan nodded. Dianqing's ability was indeed worthy of her recognition.
"Miss, miss!" Mei Sanniang's shout came from outside the house.
Tian Yan turned his attention to his mother.
"Go and do your work first." Mother nodded and said to Tian Yan.
"Ayan...
Don't let hatred and darkness swallow up your heart..." Looking at her daughter's retreating back, the beautiful young woman in pear-yellow clothes lowered her head and prayed.
