Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 143 Killing Sun Shaozu

Lin Ruhai also felt that there was no point in hiding it, and he would not be relieved if he did not speak out.

Maybe there are some clues hidden in it that I don’t know about.

"Brother Lin, if you are defeated and captured, what do you think the Nan'an Palace will do?"

Upon hearing that he had been defeated and captured, the Prince of Nannan flew into a rage and clenched his fists as if he was being humiliated.

It was just that he couldn't get angry in front of Lin Ruhai. If it was someone else, they would have slashed him with a sword long ago, but he also looked at Lin Ruhai gloomily.

He was holding back, waiting to see what excuses Lin Ruhai could come up with. He spoke each word with great intensity, the anger in his eyes burning brightly.

"Teacher, this question is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?"

"You think I'll be captured? I'll either die in battle or win, there's no in between."

Facing the wrath of the Prince of Nan'an, Lin Ruhai remained very calm. Although he was skeptical about Lin Daiyu's dream, he believed that the child was not lying.

Moreover, Lin Daiyu even named the place to be built by the future Jia family as the Grand View Garden. Lin Ruhai felt that this was not something Daiyu could have made up.

He suddenly thought of a verification question, Sun Shaozu?

This name cannot be made up.

"Do you know if there is a person named Sun Shaozu in the family of a military general?" Lin Ruhai asked this question.

I could have investigated this matter myself, but when it comes to a network of relationships, who can compare to the current Prince of Nannan?

When the Prince of Nan'an heard the name, his face changed drastically, "Teacher, where did you hear this name?"

"He has something to do with the capture?"

"Then I'll kill him."

When Lin Ruhai saw this expression, he felt that he had heard of this name before.

"Have you heard of this person? Is there really such a person?" he asked the Prince of Nannan.

"Yes, there is such a person. His father was a soldier in the Nan'an Army. I am also investigating this person. How did you know about this, teacher?"

The Prince of Nan'an stared at Lin Ruhai intently, not missing any of his micro-expressions.

Could it be that the teacher was also investigating me? I shouldn't be unaware of it.

"What is this person's character like?" Lin Ruhai did not answer how he knew this person and continued to ask.

"This person's character? Which aspect do you mean, teacher?" The Prince of Nan'an was a little confused.

"Matters between men and women." Lin Ruhai's answer was surprising.

The Prince of Nan'an's eyes narrowed, it was unbelievable, could that man be proposing marriage?

I'm almost twenty years old now, it's too early to talk about it now.

"This person is in Datong. I pay attention to other things about him, not the relationship between men and women. If the teacher is interested in him, I will ask someone to pay more attention to him."

But if it is about marriage, it is best to tell the teacher no, because there is a high probability that he will not live long enough to marry and have children.

He could have been killed long ago, but he was kept around for some use, to see if the person behind the scenes could be lured out.

"Teacher, if someone wants to propose marriage, it's best not to delay others."

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he felt as if he had heard a huge joke. He even said that it was merciful not to kill him.

Such scum deserves the death penalty.

"Propose a marriage? Not at all. I'm just asking if there's such a person. If it's possible, I'd even like that person to suffer misfortune."

If such a person really existed and was indeed from a family of military generals, then it would prove that Lin Daiyu's dream was true and the possibility of the Prince of Nannan being captured would greatly increase.

"Don't refute me yet. Think about it. If being captured is a result, what are the possibilities that could lead to such a result?"

"What's the reason?" Lin Ruhai could not interfere in future battlefield affairs, so he told the Prince of Nannan about the possible results in advance.

See how he analyzes it.

But once the Prince of Nan'an analyzed the matter, it became complicated.

He suddenly thought, maybe the teacher got the news from the Jia family that the Sun family only had a mediocre guy left who was capable of setting a trap for me.

The Sun family did have some close ties with the Jia family.

It seems that someone really has gone to great lengths to set a trap for me to fall into.

"Wei Wu, tell Datong that they don't need to wait for Sun Shaozu to show his true colors."

"It doesn't matter whether you are allowed to live or not."

"Ask directly, what did his father leave for him? Did he ask him to come to the capital to find someone?" The Prince of Nan'an ordered Wei Wu, and Wei Wu responded by making arrangements himself.

Lin Ruhai saw that the Prince of Nan'an seemed to have realized something and took action.

"Did you find the reason?"

The Prince of Nan'an thought briefly and said, "Whether it's a reason or not, there are only two possibilities. The first possibility is that the person is not me."

"Another possibility is that I was framed and lost my sense of autonomy."

"I can't even die."

The thought of the situation he might end up in made the Prince of Nannan feel as if a knife was cutting his heart.

That would be worse than death.

Lin Ruhai reminded him sternly, "If you go to the battlefield, think about how to survive. Keeping your body in good condition will give you unlimited possibilities."

"Think twice before you act, don't act rashly."

"In addition to the two possibilities you thought of, I thought of another possibility, which is your personality."

"He is unruly and has a strong desire to win. Will he rush into things too quickly and fall into the enemy's trap?"

When Lin Ruhai saw that the Prince of Nan'an was about to refute him again, he became angry.

"Although you may not like what I say, as your teacher, I must say it."

Lin Ruhai doesn't want anyone around him to die now. He thinks of the lonely and helpless situation his daughter described. Isn't that the result of everyone losing their lives?

If you have lost your life, what else is the use? What else can you use?

A close friend may lose contact with you, and a relative may turn into a jackal.

"You..." Upon hearing this, the Prince of Nannan's face was filled with anger.

Anyone who dares to slander like this in front of me will inevitably be beaten by me.

But forget about Lin Ruhai.

I'm afraid his bones will be broken.

……

A year later, the Prince of Nan'an suddenly came to Lin Ruhai's study to say goodbye.

"Teacher, I'm leaving tomorrow."

"The northwest is moving!"

The book in Lin Ruhai's hand trembled, "Have you arranged it?"

The Prince of Nan'an nodded, "Yes. The journey is long and arduous, so I'll leave you a few tokens, so you can use them at any time."

"The Sun Shaozu you mentioned last time is also dead. He is nothing to worry about."

"I will keep in mind what the teacher said and think twice before acting."

Lin Ruhai put the book on the table and asked, "Aren't you going to say goodbye to the princess?"

The Princess of Nan'an was also hard-hearted. She once sent someone to deliver a letter, hoping to meet and talk, but there was no response and she was ignored.

The Prince of Nan'an smiled indifferently, "No, they dare not move."

"She can only feel at ease when I leave."

"Let me tell my aunt that I will host a banquet for her and the teacher's family at noon tomorrow!"

"I've been in the Lin family for nearly five years, and I haven't really hosted a banquet for the whole family."

"And I also want to tell Daiyu that I want to borrow something from her this time."

Lin Ruhai's eyes were filled with sadness. He nodded and said, "Come with me later and tell them that you are going to treat them."

"Maybe you will no longer be Djalin from now on?"

The Prince of Nan'an originally felt that he should leave without saying goodbye, as he was not good at emotional dramas involving separations of life and death.

But the Lin family themselves cannot do this.

"Teacher! Next time I hope to be able to get my own name back with dignity."

"My name is Mu Yanhao."

Lin Ruhai clapped his hands and said, "Great! One day I can call you the King of Nan'an. In fact, you should have been the King of Nan'an a long time ago. Your father passed away almost five years ago."

"Your Majesty really shouldn't have suppressed your request for the title of King. It is really humiliating you."
