Don’t Show the Son

Wangdu, Dongcheng.

A noodle restaurant on the street.

The noodle shop is not big, but it is clean and tidy. A bowl of noodles costing a few cents has been sold for more than ten years, and the price has never been raised. The people who come here to eat on weekdays are also repeat customers. The business of the noodle shop is not bad. Barely able to support the family.

It's not lunch time, there are only two customers in the store.

The owner of the noodle shop is a simple-looking middle-aged man, holding two bowls of steaming noodles with both hands, walked up to the two customers in the shop, and said with a smile: "You two guests, the noodles are here... "

The last time Lin Xiu brought A Ke here to eat noodles, she seemed to like the taste of this noodle restaurant very much. Today she was waiting for Lin Xiu outside the house without eating. Lin Xiu asked her what she wanted to eat, and she said that she wanted to eat noodles from this restaurant. .

In fact, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan occasionally come here to reminisce about bitterness and sweetness. This is the place where he and Qin Wan met, and it has a special meaning for the two of them.

Another reason is that on several occasions, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan spent half a day in the kitchen cooking soup strictly according to the method the boss told them, but there was no way to make mushroom soup noodles as delicious as this noodle restaurant.

After going back and forth, they got acquainted with the owner of the noodle shop, and even invited him to a banquet on the day they got married.

After the middle-aged boss brought up two bowls of noodles, he went to the front to get busy again. In the small shop, there were only Lin Xiu and A Ke.

Lin Xiu cast a sound barrier, and then asked, "Why did you come here?"

It has been less than half a year since the two parted last time, and Lin Xiu thought she had forgotten their agreement.

A Ke ate a mouthful of noodles and said, "After what happened last time, Mengli found out a lot of undercover agents. These days, I have been arresting those undercover agents..."

Lin Xiu looked at her and asked, "Are you injured?"

At this moment, Lin Xiu didn't know whether he wanted an affirmative answer or a negative answer.

Of course he didn't want Ah Ke to get hurt.

But... for some reason, his thoughts always drifted to a certain place inexplicably, and even the poached eggs lying in the bowl could see the appearance of the moon.

A Ke paused for a moment, and nodded slightly.

Lin Xiu felt slightly happy, and then scolded herself a few words, pretending to be calm, and casually said to A Ke: "I'll help you treat it later..."

A Ke gave a soft "um", a blush appeared on her snow-white neck.

Then, she asked Lin Xiu in a low voice, "Have you moved again?"

Lin Xiudao: "After the last competition, His Majesty rewarded me with a new house."

A Ke said: "I heard, I heard from the people on the side of the road that you married the daughters of two powerful people, and the pride of the Fusang Kingdom, all of which were bestowed by the emperor..."

Lin Xiu ate the noodles in silence without explaining anything.

He is not a person who is single-minded in love, and he doesn't have to maintain an infatuated personality.

After taking a few mouthfuls of noodles, he said to A Ke: "Don't leave this time, at least before your ground level, otherwise you will still be easily injured when performing tasks in the future..."

A Ke said: "I came to you after dealing with the affairs in the League."

The implication is that she can live for a long time. Lin Xiu felt that the noodles in the bowl tasted more delicious. At this time, A Ke said, "I'll live in the house before."

Lin Xiudao: "No, the house that His Majesty rewarded this time is very big, I have reserved a yard for you."

A Ke finished a mouthful of noodles silently, and asked, "Will your wives mind?"

Lin Xiu shook her head and said, "Don't worry, they are easy to get along with."

Even Princess Minghe can live there, so naturally Ake can too.

Zhao Lingjun doesn't care, Caiyi even more so, Qianye Lin even more so, Ning'er won't be jealous of anyone except Qin Wan. As for Qin Wan, she is still worrying about how to fulfill her original bet. about……

After eating a bowl of noodles, Lin Xiu took A Ke and walked towards the Lin Mansion.

Her true face has been wanted in Daxia long ago. Lin Xiu helped her change her appearance just now. With his current ability, unless he makes a move again, even A Ke herself will not be able to change back to her previous appearance, so naturally there is no need to worry. The issue of identity exposure.

When she and A Ke came to the Lin Mansion, Lin Xiu didn't see Ning'er, Qin Wan and the others.

At this time, they should be practicing in the back garden.

A Ke followed Lin Xiu, looking around, it was hard for her to imagine that this place was actually a house.

Lin Xiu led her into a palace and said, "You will live here from now on."

In the palace courtyard, Lin Xiu had already prepared all the daily necessities for her, but she never came. This courtyard will be cleaned every two days. As long as she comes, she can live in it directly. .

Lin Xiu and A Ke walked into the room of the main hall and closed the door.

A Ke took out a silver token from her bosom, handed it to Lin Xiu, and said, "You take this."

Lin Xiu looked at the token in her hand and asked, "What is this?"

This token seems to be made of silver, with a green character written on the front and a dragon engraved on the back. Lin Xiu thought for a while and asked, "Is it because the league promoted me to be the rudder master?"

There are twenty-one mansions in Great Xia, and the person in charge of each mansion of the Tiandao League is the rudder master. Becoming the rudder master means entering the management of the Tiandao League.

A Ke looked at him and said, "Congratulations, Master Li."

Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and said uncertainly, "Master?"

A Ke told him about the organizational structure of the Heavenly Dao League. Under the leader, there are left and right protectors. After that, there are four hall masters, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. And then there are ordinary helpers...

Each of the four hall masters is in charge of several mansions, and their status is still higher than that of the helm master.

A Ke told him that although he had not joined the Tiandao League for a long time, in view of his outstanding performance, half a month ago, the left and right guardians unanimously appointed him as the head of the Qinglong Hall.

Lin Xiu asked, "Where is the original Qinglong hall master?"

Ake said: "Two years ago, Hall Master Sun unfortunately died in a mission, and the position of Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Hall has been vacant all the time. Because you have made great contributions twice, the League made an exception and promoted you to be the Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Hall... "

Lin Xiu looked at her and asked, "What position do you hold in the league?"

A Ke said, "I don't have a job."

Lin Xiu thought she was the helmsman of a certain mansion, but after asking A Ke, she found out that she did not hold a position in the Tiandao League, and she would appear wherever there was an injustice, which also fit her unrestrained character.

Lin Xiu looked casually, and the token disappeared in his hand.

Not to mention becoming the head of the hall, even if he is the guardian of the Dao League, he has no interest in doing justice, punishing rape and eradicating evil.

Putting away the token, he looked at A Ke and said, "Let's...start?"

A Ke silently walked to the side of the bed, untied the waist, took off the long skirt, and then unfolded the chest wrap layer by layer. Lin Xiu turned around, and after a while, A Ke said softly: "It's done."

When Lin Xiu turned back, she had already folded her long skirt and chest wrap and put them on the head of the bed. She was lying on the bed, revealing her smooth back with a few shallow scars on her back.

Even though she was lying here, the outline of a full moon was outlined beside her.

Lin Xiu sat by the bed and sighed helplessly. Her body always had old wounds gone and new wounds reappeared.

Lin Xiu even wondered if she would be more fearless when doing tasks after knowing that no matter how many injuries she suffered, Lin Xiu would heal her.

Her body is like a piece of perfect porcelain, and these scars are like cracks on the porcelain. Lin Xiu is like a restorer, with her palm gently placed on her back, as Lin Xiu's palm moves, Those scars also slowly disappeared.

After a while, Lin Xiu removed her palm and said, "Okay."

A Ke whispered: "Not yet, not yet."

After she finished speaking, she turned over again and lay flat on the bed. There were also two scars on her shoulders and abdomen.

Lin Xiu felt a little dizzy in front of her eyes.

...

Outside the palace courtyard, several figures were looking around at the door.

Qin Wan, Xue Ning'er and Zhao Lingyin already knew that Lin Xiu was back, came back with a woman, and brought her into this palace, they were all curious, even Princess Minghe came to join in the fun.

When Princess Minghe wanted to choose this palace, Lin Xiu told her that there were already people here. At that time, she was curious about who the owner of this palace was, and now she finally met.

Xue Ning'er and the others were equally curious, and they didn't know who this palace was reserved for.

Not long after, they saw the owner of the palace.

Lin Xiu and a young woman came out of the room.

This girl is extremely beautiful, even compared with them, she is not inferior. In addition to her appearance, she has the elegance of a big Xia girl, and there seems to be some Western women's style.

Lin Xiu came over and introduced them: "This is Miss A Ke, she is my friend."

Then he introduced them to A Ke one by one.

Afterwards, Lin Xiu said to A Ke: "You have worked hard all the way, go and rest first, and I will go find you later."

After A Ke returned to the room, Xue Ning'er pulled him aside and asked, "Is she also one of our younger sisters?"

Lin Xiu said embarrassedly: "We are just friends now..."

Princess Minghe at the side glanced at him and asked, "Do you have any female friends?"

Lin Xiu asked back, "Aren't you?"

One sentence left Princess Minghe speechless.

At this time, Qin Wan seemed to have remembered something, grabbed Lin Xiu's hand, sniffed it lightly, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "So it's her..."

Xue Ning'er was surprised and said, "Do you know her? Why don't I know?"

Qin Wan glanced at her and said, "There are still many things you don't know."

The girls' curiosity about this Ake girl didn't last long, and Xue Ning'er was even a little proud. Although she was born beautiful, her breasts were flat, which made her rank in the family rise by another place.

Although Princess Minghe is not qualified to be proud, but there is finally someone like her, and it is inevitable that she feels a little comforted in her heart, and even naturally has a feeling of sympathy for her...
