The Legend Of Beishang
195. The Xia Family Story
A simple soldier approached Lin Beishang who was sitting under the rain while holding onto Xia Zhong's corpse.
"Gongzhu, this subordinate is General Yu's assistant and has been following him for 30 years, ever since Master was still Emperor. I know this a little bit. " Say the soldier quietly.
Lin Beishang did not reply and turned his head towards the simple soldier and waited for the man to tell a story.
About 20 years ago,
When Xia Ling and Sha Xi, his subordinates. Arrested and taken to the magnificent Tang Dynasty Palace, Xia Ling thinks that her father and his entire family have died.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be wrong. Lin Xi did not completely not have such a heart, Lin Xi recalled when the Xia family helped her in the past.
Thus giving an honorable position to Xia Zhong and his small family, including Xia Ling's elder brother and mother.
On condition, they should not meet Xia Ling and they should not show themselves so brightly that they could only use a mask until Xia Ling finally escaped from the Tang Dynasty Palace.
At that moment, there was nothing left. His son, his wife, one by one died and not even his daughter could be found.
Xia Zhong's body condition continued to deteriorate until it finally became like this, so all this time the name 'General Yu' was just a lie.
Originally, the Xia Family refused to be Lin Xi's henchman, who at that moment was the one who destroyed them up to this point.
But, Lin Xi threatened them with their daughter, with their younger sister. So, it really can't be known.
Whether Lin Xi still remembered the past debt of gratitude or just wanted to utilize the Xia Family who was a reliable fighter.
In the end, Xia Ling never knew of this until the end. If Xia Ling knew, then perhaps Xia Ling would not be so depressed and might still be alive until now.
Lin Beishang listened to the story from the soldier then fell silent for a moment before finally laughing loudly and looking very happy, but the person who heard it would easily find out that it contained such a heavy sadness.
The soldier saw that Lin Beishang needed time to accept everything so retreated.
Lin Beishang continued to laugh and rainwater and tears entered his mouth uncontrollably, but Lin Beishang seemed as if he did not feel any of that.
"I do not know what sins I have committed in the past life, until I have to bear all of these !" Shouted Lin Beishang furiously.
Lin Beishang hugged his grandfather's body which had been completely stiff and blood had been swept away by the rain, the silent soldier silently grieved by the death of the General who had accompanied them all this time.
"People say that if you are patient then happiness will come, there will be a rainbow behind the rain. But why do I only see dark clouds in the rain ?" Lin Beishang asked softly.
No one could tell whether he was crying or laughing, with the sweep of rainwater, it had blurred everything.
Not long after, the clattering of horse legs rang out and the leader in blood-soaked clothes and several wounds on the body instantly jumped down from the horse and hugged Lin Beishang who was sitting under the heavy rain.
"What are you doing here ?!" Bei Zhao asked in despair.
Lin Beishang simply laughed and glanced at the injured and blood-soaked Bei Zhao.
"Everything has gone !! Are you going to go too and leave me alone here ?!" Lin Beishang asked with his crazy laughter.
"What happened ?!" Bei Zhao asked in despair.
"The sky has been playing tricks on me, this person is known as the great General Yu but in the end is my family. When I found out the truth, it was too late ! He blocked the cursed sword for me and told the truth on his last breath, as if the heavens were so happy to see me suffer, Ha ha ha ! Then, then I will let him down ! I will laugh as much as possible, I will show that I am very happy !!" Shouted Lin Beishang while laughing out loud bahak.
"Lin Beishang !! Don't be like this !" Please Bei Zhao while shaking Lin Beishang's body.
"Don't call me by that disgusting person's clan, it has disgusted me to the bone. I don't understand, I've treated him as best I can but he paid me with this. " Say Lin Beishang with a disgusted laugh.
Bei Zhao cursed Lin Xi who was giving too many wounds to his Beishang. But, when about to speak again, Bei Zhao spewed out a mouthful of dark-colored blood and fell to his knees forward.
Lin Beishang stared at Bei Zhao's dark blood indifferently then took it a little with his finger and inhaled it a little.
"The poison, the same scorpion poison that was in your body that day. " Say Lin Beishang softly before finally hooking his hands around Bei Zhao's neck.
Lin Beishang pulled Bei Zhao's head forward until their lips touched then Lin Beishang bit his own lips until it bled.
Blood flowed into Bei Zhao's mouth in a somewhat startling manner and Bei Zhao looked dazed while Lin Beishang removed both of his hands and wiped his bloody lips.
"I'm not crazy, the enemy is still lurking. I can't treat you in the brightest way, I can only treat you that way. " Said Lin Beishang casually.
"Where did you get this poison ?" Ask Lin Beishang.
"I got it against someone on the way here. " Said Bei Zhao.
FLASHBACKS
When Bei Zhao and the mysterious person had fought, Bei Zhao accidentally flicked the girl's black hood and showed a face wearing a silver mask.
Back then, Bei Zhao felt that the face was somewhat familiar and felt that he had seen it somewhere.
Thinking of this, Bei Zhao caught his guard and the enemy took a chance in this and then scratched Bei Zhao's hand with a dagger.
"Shh ! You !" Bei Zhao shouted furiously but that person had run away and when Bei Zhao wanted to chase after that person, a great pain hit him.
But, Bei Zhao forced himself to stay sober until he met Beishang.
"Come !" Shouted Bei Zhao while suppressing his pain.
FLASHBACK END
"Who do you think this guy is ?" Bei Zhao asked curiously.
"No idea, you saw the looks of it. I dare not guess. " Speak Lin Beishang while smiling sweetly in the rain.
Although the smile was sweet, but somehow Bei Zhao felt that the smile was carrying too much sorrow.
It was as if that sweet smile was only used to outwit people, only to deceive that the owner of the smile was fine.
That everything was fine, no problem at all happened. It was as if Xia Zhong's death had never happened.
"The face, I'm sure I've seen it somewhere. " Bei Zhao said with annoyance at not being able to find a suitable person.
"I have some conjectures that might happen, first is your cousin, Chu Yi. Second, my sister, Lin Yue. Third, my servant, Lan Xiang. " Said Lin Beishang with a faint smile.
