Don’t Show the Son

After leaving Murong's house, Lin Xiu walked on the street and saw the smiles on the faces of the people in Jiangnan Mansion.

The father and son of the Zhang family and the father and son of Jiangnan Fuyin have all died.

It wasn't killed by the people of Tiandao League.

They just left the four of them on the most crowded street in the early morning.

The people passing by, you punched me, I kicked them, and some even stabbed them with knives. They were people who had a blood feud with them, and they didn't miss this opportunity to take revenge with their own hands.

If this is not a world where strength is the most important thing, relying on the influence of the Tiandao League, they can easily overthrow a country.

It's a pity that in this world, without top-notch strength, everything is empty talk.

Lin Xiu originally planned to go back to the capital with Caiyi first, and then come to Jiangnan to join the people from the Tiandao League in a month's time, so as to meet Ake.

He hasn't seen her for half a year.

But after going to the Zhang family, Lin Xiu changed her mind.

He saw an account book in the study of the head of the Zhang family, and finally understood why the Zhang family in the capital had such a side branch in the far south of the Yangtze River.

The Jiangnan Zhang family moved here from Kyoto decades ago.

For this reason, the Zhang family asked for a piece of land from the royal family at that time. The Zhang family at that time was even more glorious than it is now. It was just a piece of land, and the royal family gave it.

Unexpectedly, not long after the branch of the Zhang family moved to Jiangnan Mansion, a metal vein with rich reserves was discovered under the fiefdom.

There is no need to pay taxes to the court for the fiefdoms of the powerful, and everything above and below the ground is also owned by the powerful.

This vein naturally became the property of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family took advantage of this to recruit a large number of people with the ability to use different techniques of gold. The imperial court can only watch it. So far, the Zhang family has been operating in Jiangnan for decades. Apart from taxation, it is difficult for the imperial court to intervene in Jiangnan. Things.

Mineral resources are non-renewable, and people with the ability to use gold are very common. Therefore, as early as more than a hundred years ago, the mineral veins that have been discovered by various countries in the mainland have been almost consumed. Now only Some of them were also restricted by the imperial court, and no one was allowed to mine them.

Therefore, it was difficult for Lin Xiu to find a way in the practice of the strange technique of gold.

This time happened to be an opportunity.

Zhang's mine is easy to find, Lin Xiufei went outside the city, stood at a high altitude and looked down, everything below could be seen.

He soon landed on a hilltop ten miles north of the city. The hill had already been dug and riddled with holes, and there were still many figures transporting carts of ore out of the tunnel.

Even if these ores are not smelted, they can be directly absorbed by those who have the ability of the gold magic. This is also an important reason why the Zhang family was able to win over them.

The moment Lin Xiu landed on the mountain, she felt the power in her body, which was extremely active and restless.

There was a kind of power that poured into his body continuously, and it didn't stop until a quarter of an hour later.

Under the condition that he absorbs it with all his strength, it only takes a quarter of an hour for a single ability to enter the bottleneck.

Unless he has a vein of minerals with him, he can only practice here.

It's a pity that Lin Xiu's space is not big enough, far from enough to accommodate a mine, but there is no other way. He pressed his palm on the ground, and the metal elements from the ground were attracted to form crystals on his hand. , and then transferred to space by him.

This kind of pure metal crystal is more efficient in practice.

However, Lin Xiu didn't absorb it for long when her ears moved suddenly and she turned her head to look in a certain direction.

A figure was rushing towards him from the front. The person leaped up from a distance of more than ten feet. He fell from a height and hit the ground heavily. The ground under Lin Xiu's feet shook.

And the spears on his back also flew out suddenly, shooting towards Lin Xiu.

Then, the roaring sound reached Lin Xiu's ears: "Where is the bastard, dare to steal the mine here!"

Lin Xiu was curious just now, why there is not even a guard in such a large mine. Now it seems that it is not that there are no guards, but that one person is enough.

This is definitely a strong man at the upper level of the earth.

This kind of strong man, the current him, is simply invincible.

Those steel spears came from afar and stuck where Lin Xiugang was. If he hadn't run fast, he would have been pierced to the bone at this moment.

Lin Xiu, who was in the invisible state, flew up without hesitation. At this moment, the man had already rushed to Lin Xiu's position, but there was nothing in front of him.

He frowned and looked around, but still found nothing.

At this time, he finally remembered something, and said in a deep voice, "It's them again!"

Although he didn't care much about the Jiangnan Zhang family, he also heard about the Zhang family's father and son. What he didn't expect was that these people not only captured the Zhang family's father and son, but also paid attention to this mine vein.

Several spears on the ground flew up and inserted back into his back.

Those people act together every time, they can fly and be invisible. Although he is not afraid of those people, it is difficult to capture them.

After standing there for a while, he didn't find any trace of them, so he could only turn around and leave.

At this time, Lin Xiu had already returned home.

There will be an earth-level strong man in that mine vein, which is beyond reason and expected.

That level of mineral veins, not to mention the Zhang family, I'm afraid the court is jealous.

As long as those who have the ability to improve their strength quickly, they must rely on ore veins, which are fixed resources for practice. As long as they have resources, they are not afraid of not being able to recruit people.

Even the strong at the upper level of the earth will bow their heads for resources.

The five great dynasties hold competitions in turn, also to seize resources. As long as there are resources, they can continuously create strong people and directly enhance national strength.

In the following days, apart from living in the two-person world with Caiyi every day, Lin Xiu was also fighting wits and courage with the strong man in the Zhang family's mine.

That person is a high-ranking person who has awakened the golden magic, and he is definitely unbeatable. If he wants to run, the opponent will not be able to catch up. After all, Lin Xiu's combat effectiveness is not high, and the ability to run is absolutely First class.

Also, he doesn't need to sleep yet.

He deeply implements what is called the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy retreats and advances, the enemy is tired and disturbs, as long as the strong man sleeps, he will secretly dig the mines, and if he finds out and chases him out, Lin Xiu will leave immediately, waiting for him Going back, he came back and continued digging.

Ten days later, the man's eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of exhaustion. Holding two steel spears in his hand, he thrust them fiercely into the ground, and said angrily: "Little Xiao, don't you just hide and come out if you have the ability to do so dignifiedly?" Fight me!"

It is impossible to fight, Lin Xiu ignored him, but when he came again, he found that the mine was heavily guarded, and even the three strong men from the Zhang family had come. It seems that the man His patience has reached its limit.

This time, Lin Xiu took a long look in the sky and left.

They like to guard, let them guard.

The harvest these days is enough for him to practice for a long time. When he can control more portable space in the future, he will move the entire mine of the Zhang family.

Back home again, Caiyi said to Lin Xiu: "Master, it's time for us to go back. If we don't go back, it will be a bit embarrassing..."

In the past half month, Lin Xiu was not only obsessed with his children's affair, he did not slack in his practice every day, but what Caiyi said was right, they had been out for a month, and they almost forgot that he was in the capital, and there was a home.

In all fairness, Zhao Lingjun treated him very well, and Lin Xiu couldn't let outsiders talk about her.

Moreover, he also misses the imperial concubine a little bit.

...

Wangdu, Changchun Palace.

The imperial concubine was sitting on the stone chair in the palace courtyard, staring blankly at a certain place. The spiritual pet in her arms was not very energetic, and the atmosphere of the entire Changchun Palace was somewhat depressed and gloomy.

This situation has been going on for a month.

To be exact, it was one month and three days.

The Linglong maid brought a bowl of lotus seed soup and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

The noble concubine shook her head and said, "Take it away, I'm not hungry."

Linglong frowned and said: "But ma'am, you didn't eat much yesterday, you should eat a little, or your body will collapse."

The imperial concubine said: "You can leave it alone, I will eat when I am hungry."

Linglong could only take the lotus seed soup away, and on the other side of the palace courtyard, several imperial doctors stood there, whispering.

"Why is your mother's condition more serious than before?"

"Although I ate less before, it's not so little..."

"Your Majesty must be suffering from anorexia, right?"

"This is troublesome!"

...

Shuangshuang stood among the imperial doctors, looking at the imperial concubine sitting there with a dazed expression, also a little sad.

At this time, suddenly there was a figure walking in from outside the palace.

Shuang Shuang's eyes lit up, she walked over quickly, and said, "Brother Lin, you're back!"

Lin Xiu smiled and said, "Shuangshuang is here too, long time no see."

The moment he walked into the Changchun Palace, the imperial concubine's expression was no longer absent-minded, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, which made the whole palace a lot more beautiful.

A white shadow jumped onto his shoulder and rubbed against his neck.

Lin Xiu hugged a bunch of boxes, walked to the side of the imperial concubine, and said, "Madam, I brought you some pastries and candied fruit from Jiangnan, try it and see if you like it..."

The imperial concubine stood up, but suddenly felt dizzy, Linglong hurriedly supported her.

She covered her stomach, frowned and said: "Why is this palace so hungry all of a sudden, Linglong, quickly bring this palace's lotus seed soup..."

Kavinka's mentality exploded, and the second update was even later. The latest update may not be too early, but if he didn't ask for leave, there would still be two updates.
