The poison in his body was detoxified and he saw the daughter he had missed for many years again. Lin Ruhai was indeed in good condition now.
I can't say that his face was glowing, but at least he looked in good spirits. He no longer looked like he was about to die at any time.
"Song Xuan, I have met my cousin!"
After entering the room, Song Xuan cupped his fists and bowed.
"I'm sorry to trouble you brothers and sisters this time. We, father and daughter, owe you a huge favor."
Song Xuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are all one family. My cousin said this just to be polite."
Lin Ruhai looked at him with a complicated expression, "When your mother got married, I was busy with the imperial examination and could not catch up with her getting married. Is she doing well in the Song family?"
Song Xuandao: "Don't worry, cousin, everything is fine with my mother. There is no need to worry about her."
Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "My Lin family is not prosperous, even if we include the side branches, the population is not large. Although your mother and I have been in the fifth server for a long time, we have known each other since childhood.
She is doing well, so I feel relieved.
By the way, is your father okay? Are you still the same as before, hanging out in Xuanyi Guard all day long? "
Song Xuan was a little surprised, "My cousin is very familiar with my father?"
Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded, "When your father was young, he was a well-known gangster among the Xuanyi Guards in the imperial capital. He could hide when he encountered an errand and sneak away when he encountered trouble. He had no ambition at all.
At that time, I felt that he did not have the vitality of a young man, and I looked down upon him quite a bit.
But now it seems that your father has lived a clear life, has no dangers, no illnesses, no disasters, and the family is reunited safely. Isn't that more important than anything else? "
Song Xuan smiled and didn't answer. After all, it involved his parents, and he didn't want to talk too much about this matter with outsiders.
"I heard from Daiyu that you brothers and sisters came to Jiangzhe Mansion to take office this time?"
Song Xuan nodded, "Yes, a hundred families died here some time ago, so the Imperial Capital transferred me here."
When Lin Ruhai heard this, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he said: "The situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefecture is very complicated, and it is not easy for just those salt merchants to deal with it.
As for Xuanyiwei, what they have to deal with is not only some wealthy people such as big salt merchants, but also many people in the officialdom and the world. "
Lin Ruhai spoke more implicitly, but Song Xuan understood what he meant immediately.
"My cousin is saying that in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefectures, the officialdom and Jianghu have colluded?"
Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "There must be collusion. As for the extent of the collusion and what the real purpose is, it is difficult to say for the time being.
In short, you must be cautious during this period. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can come to me at any time for further details.
To be honest, I really didn't expect that your father would agree to you coming to a place like this. "
Song Xuan smiled and said, "Cousin, this is an order issued by the top of Xuanyi Guard. So what if my father doesn't agree?"
Lin Ruhai shook his head, "Don't underestimate your father. Although he doesn't seem to be motivated, his connections in the imperial capital are not weak. If he doesn't agree with you brothers and sisters coming here, there are many ways to mess up this appointment."
Song Xuan was slightly startled. In his and Song Qian's opinion, his father, who was at the eighth level of the acquired realm, was a little weaker than their brother and sister.
In addition to being older and having a good relationship with Zhao Dezhu, the director of the Inspection Department, do you actually have other connections?
If others said this, he might just think it was an outsider's flattery to his father, but when local officials like Lin Ruhai valued his father so much, it was definitely not just a courtesy.
Could it be that Dad has some hidden identity that he doesn't know about?
After chatting with Lin Ruhai for a while about the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces, Song Xuan stood up and left.
He still has a lot of things to do next, and Lin Ruhai also needs to rest for a while, so it is not convenient to talk to outsiders for a long time.
After walking out of the room, Song Xuan waited in the yard for a while.
Not long after, cousin Lin Daiyu, who was in a very good mood, and Song Qian each came holding a piece of osmanthus cake in their hands, talking and laughing along the way.
Seeing Song Xuan's figure, the little cousin smiled like a crescent moon and hurriedly picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her handkerchief and handed it to Song Xuan.
"Cousin, you are hungry. Eat some pastries to cushion your stomach. I have already ordered people to cook."
Song Xuan subconsciously prepared to reach out, but when he looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Song Qian also handed over, he immediately waved his hand and said, "I don't like these sweets very much."
"Oh~" Lin Daiyu was a little disappointed and said, "Cousin, please wait a moment, we can have lunch later."
Song Xuan shook his head, "We don't have to eat. We still have a lot of things to do today. When we have free time another day, we brothers and sisters will come to the Lin Mansion to bother us."
With that said, he waved to Song Qian, "Let's go, follow me to dig the grave!"
"oh!"
Song Qian stuffed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her mouth into her mouth, and said goodbye to Lin Daiyu while swallowing, "Xiao Yuyu, my cousin has to do business first. Remember to prepare more pastries at home. I will come to eat some other time~"
"Well, okay, cousin, when you come next time, we..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw that the hot-tempered brother and sister had already walked away. She put down her hand with some disappointment and sighed sadly.
"They're all gone..."
In a room not far away, Lin Ruhai watched the scene quietly from the window. After a moment, he spoke softly.
"You just said that brother and sister Song Xuan are very powerful?"
In the room, the old man in black who had communicated with Song Xuan before came out of the corner and nodded solemnly.
"Very strong!"
"Stronger than an innate warrior like you?"
"It's hard to say." The old man in black mused: "Logically speaking, I didn't sense the innate aura in these two people, so they probably haven't broken through to the innate yet.
But these two people gave me a very strange feeling, how should I put it..."
The old man thought for a while and said: "Master, you should also know that cultivation is cultivation and strength is strength. When it comes to life and death fighting, sometimes it is not just cultivation that determines it.
Otherwise, if everyone meets each other and exudes the aura of cultivation and compares with each other, how can there be fights?
In fact, there are too many factors that determine life and death. Internal strength, mental skills, unique martial arts, magical weapons, external environment, and even the mentality and fighting spirit of both sides of the battle, etc., may affect the final battle situation. "
Lin Ruhai waved his hand, "Just tell me, if we fight them now, are you sure of winning?"
The old man in black thought for a while and said: "If we start fighting now, I should win, but if it's a life-and-death fight, I will probably die."
"Oh? Why is that?"
The old man said solemnly: "I entered the martial arts world when I was fourteen years old. I have been in the martial arts world for decades and have seen too many unusual things.
Some people cannot be judged by common sense. Sometimes, you have to admit that God really favors certain people too much.
Master, believe it or not, if I fight to the death with them today, those brothers and sisters will break through in an extremely unreasonable way, and then kill me! "
