Victoria.
The hot summer is coming and the sky is full of wind and sand.
A figure wearing a bamboo hat walked slowly along the official road against the wind and sand.
Not far ahead, in the sky full of wind and sand, the outline of a city can be vaguely seen.
There is Jade City, the capital city of Weizhou, which is also Lin Ji's destination on this trip.
As he walked, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded behind him.
Looking back, a group of soldiers and horses arrived, each wearing armor, sweating profusely, and their faces were covered in the mess caused by the wind and sand.
When passing by Lin Ji, the leading man reined in the horse's rope slightly.
"Fellow, what day is it?"
Lin Ji thought for a while and responded: "It's July 29th, the fourth year of Shengyuan."
"July 29? It's not too late! Brothers, hurry up!"
The leading man cupped his hands towards Lin Ji, then thought of something and grinned at Lin Ji.
"Fellow, there is no Sheng Yuan anymore, and Great Qin is finished."
Lin Ji nodded.
"Then I dare to ask this general, what will his reign be in the future?"
"Hey, let's wait until my lord takes control of Kyushu, and then we can tell you what year it will be!"
The soldiers and horses left, leaving only a mess of horse hoof marks on the ground.
Not long after, Lin Ji entered Jade City.
A few months had passed since the incident in Beijing, and Lin Ji had finally recovered from the injury he sustained on Panlong Mountain.
The reason I came to Victoria was to take away the two spirits who were left in the government office in Victoria, and to see my parents again, which was to settle a worry.
Compared with the chaos on the way here, Weizhou seems not to have been too impressed by the destruction of the Qin Dynasty. Except for the army of soldiers and horses just now, the city is in good order and the people are busy with their livelihoods. It seems that no one wants to free the Qin Dynasty. In the heart.
He took two quick steps and soon saw the door of Lin Mansion.
But he did not go in, but continued to walk farther away until he came to Yucheng Mansion Office.
The government office is the same as before, except that there are no guards at the door, the door is closed tightly, and there is some dust on the steps. It seems that no one has cleaned it for a while.
Although the front door was closed, the side door was open.
Lin Ji entered the government office along the side door, his consciousness swept over him, and then he stepped lightly and disappeared.
In the backyard.
Feng Zhiruo and Lianyu were sitting at a small table, each holding a bowl of noodle soup in their hands and eating.
"Miss Feng, I may have to leave tonight." Lianyu looked at Feng Zhiruo's expression and said cautiously.
"What, your lover is coming to pick you up?"
Lianyu's face turned slightly red.
"Well, he said that Supervisor Tiansi is gone and there will be chaos for many years in the future. He wants to take me to a remote place to live peacefully. We agreed to meet at his house today and then leave Victoria. "
"This is a good thing. Have you packed your things? Are you short of money?"
"I have them all." Lianyu nodded and said with some hesitation, "It's just... I just left like this, if the master comes back."
"Your master will not object." Feng Zhiruo raised his eyebrows.
Lianyu whispered: "But after all, it was the master who saved me from the sea of suffering. I"
At this time, a voice sounded behind Lianyu.
"It's rare to find someone you love, so you can't let it go easily."
Lianyu was startled and quickly turned around.
"master."
She hurriedly tried to get up, but Lin Ji held her shoulders down.
"With her, she is no longer the maid of my Lin family. There is no need to call her master from now on." Lin Ji said with a smile, "After finishing the noodles, go and clean up quickly. Don't keep her waiting."
Hearing this, Lianyu's eyes turned red and she knelt down.
"Lianyu has thanked the master for his great kindness, but Lianyu is a lowly man and has nothing to repay."
"Then go back and offer me a plaque, and keep offering incense for three or two years." Lin Ji said casually, then looked at Feng Zhiruo and said with a smile, "I think it's Lin's luck to be grateful to such a little girl. Maybe it will be a little better."
"You want to take the incense path?" Feng Zhiruo was a little surprised.
Lin Ji shook his head.
"It's just nonsense, Lianyu, what you said just now is just a joke, don't take it seriously."
"Go." Lin Ji waved his hand and urged.
Lianyu nodded and left quietly.
After she left, Lin Ji sat opposite Feng Zhiruo.
"The news from Beijing has spread to Weizhou." Feng Zhiruo said, "I didn't expect that Da Qin would be overthrown like this. To be honest, to this day I still don't believe that if it wasn't for the Supervisor Tiansi Yamen Everyone here has left, so I just thought it was just spreading rumors."
"I thought it was a bit unreal at first, but then I thought about it. The so-called Qin family's so-called break and then stand, they had already pushed themselves to the edge of the cliff. They originally thought that there was still a rope to save their lives, but they couldn't save their lives. The rope had been tampered with a long time ago, and they died without complaining."
Lin Ji picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I promised you that I would help you become a Taoist when I come back, but now I don't have a clue. There seems to be no need for the existence of the Eternal Life Palace, so I'm afraid this matter will be delayed for I don't know how long."
Lin Ji's tone was a bit apologetic.
But Feng Zhiruo, who was opposite him, had a stern look on his face and didn't care at all.
"No need. During this time in Weizhou, I have figured out that all the talk of cultivation reaching the heavens and the earth, and the talk of immortality and eternity, are all just illusions."
"In my last life, I have been chasing immortality and strength all my life. Now when I think back, I feel that I was ridiculous. I have missed all the scenery in life. All I can see is the realm of cultivation. So what's the point of living? "
Hearing this, Lin Ji picked up the teacup again.
"These words have touched Lin's heart. It's time to toast you. Lin will use tea instead of wine."
After drinking all the tea in the cup, Lin Ji continued to ask: "So what are your plans in the future?"
"Let's walk around. Although I have been to various parts of Kyushu, I have never taken a serious look at this world. I want to take a look."
Lin Ji nodded, thought for a moment, and looked more serious.
"For letting you stay in Victoria, Lin owes you a favor. If you encounter any trouble in the future, please come to me."
"Oh, what if I provoke Dao Chengjing?"
"Then I'll ask my mother-in-law to come forward."
Feng Zhiruo was just joking at first, but after hearing this, she suppressed the smile on her face.
"So... this favor is really quite big, I'll remember it."
After the words fell, Feng Zhiruo stood up and saluted.
"That girl Lianyu is gone, and I have nothing to miss in this Weizhou government office."
Lin Ji was a little surprised.
"Are you leaving now?"
"Leave now."
After saying that, Feng Zhiruo stepped lightly and rose into the air, disappearing in an instant.
The walk was smooth and crisp, without any sloppiness.
After watching Feng Zhiruo leave, Lin Ji poured himself another cup of tea, his eyes drifting to the flower bed.
"What are your plans for the future, you two?"
