Chapter 1387: A small inn on the border
Now that Shi Li had a legitimate status, she naturally had the qualifications to ask further questions.
She was really worried about Xuanyuan Lin, and the first thing she asked was what on earth he was doing when he went out again and again, even coming back injured.
"But if it's confidential, I understand."
When it comes to serious matters, Shi Li will not make trouble for no reason. Although the times are different, it is estimated that no matter which era, there are those hidden professions that cannot be disclosed to outsiders.
Xuanyuan Lin was still holding the dowry jar curiously in his hands, and he chuckled when he heard the words.
He always thought that Shi Li was a little girl who needed protection, so he didn't tell her anything. But if she was his future wife, he couldn't hide anything.
He asked Shi Li to sit next to him, and the two of them poured out the stones in the jar together, played with and admired each stone one by one, and then listened to Xuanyuan Lin talking about his own story word by word.
He was once a talented young man famous in the imperial capital, and he assisted the crown prince when he was a minor. His father and mother were stationed at the border together, and at the cost of their own lives, they defeated the Fuso tribe and made them surrender.
However, the Fuso tribe was not truly submissive and was always looking for opportunities to counterattack. Shan Chao knew this very well. However, the border was already in a difficult situation and it was not easy to start another war.
After his parents passed away, Xuanyuan Lin inherited their will, but the prince needed him, so he could not go. Later, the prince passed away, and he finally came to the border alone under an assumed name.
No one knows his identity, so he can infiltrate the Fuso tribe to plant spies and understand their weaknesses.
Picking up Shili was purely an accident.
Later, he went out from time to time to handle matters with the Fuso tribe.
Yuan Shang was an assassin with a pure heart. He tried to assassinate the King of Fuso single-handedly, but almost got himself implicated. Fortunately, he met Xuanyuan Lin, who saved his life.
As for the fact that he was out for such a long time and in such a dangerous situation, it was also a great achievement. He had deployed spies in the Fuso tribe for many years and obtained the Fuso tribe's defense map.
With this map, the soldiers of Dadan can directly tear open a hole in the Fuso tribe, avenge past grudges and clear old grudges, so that the Fuso tribe will never invade the Shan Dynasty again.
The letter that Yuan Shang received at that time was written in blood by a spy lurking in the Fuso tribe.
He got the defense map, but he was also discovered. At the critical moment, he could only hide the defense map in a secluded place, using himself as a lure to lure away the Fuso people and preserve the defense map.
Xuanyuan Lin went to Fuso for three months and survived a life-threatening situation before he retrieved the hidden defense map. He personally delivered the map back to the imperial city and presented it to His Majesty.
But this is not the end. After Xuanyuan Lin finished this matter, he returned to Fuso and brought the eyeliner's ashes back to his hometown personally.
He endured humiliation and hid in Fuso for several years. His only wish was to return to his hometown one day. However, in order to preserve the defense map, he had to bury himself in Fuso.
Xuanyuan Lin wanted to take him home.
This task was no easier than bringing back the defense map. Xuanyuan Lin was patient and forbearing, and finally succeeded. Of course, the price was also heavy, and he was seriously injured.
But it was all worth it. He brought the warrior's ashes back to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers for him to return to his roots.
After Xuanyuan Lin finished saying these things, he saw the little girl sitting next to him with her head down and her shoulders trembling slightly.
"Lili?"
He looked up and was greeted by a pair of red, swollen eyes.
No matter which era, there will always be heroes like Xuanyuan Lin who stand in the light, and there will also be martyrs who are buried in foreign lands and will never be known to the public. Who can not be moved by this?
Shi Li never hesitated in praising Xuanyuan Lin. She choked up and grabbed Xuanyuan Lin's sleeve, looking at him with admiration in her eyes.
"Brother, you are a hero."
From childhood to adulthood, Xuanyuan Lin has heard too many compliments and compliments, but he never cared about them. Only Shi Li's praise touched his heart.
After making his intention clear, he smiled and moved closer to Shi Li as before, "I'm so happy to hear my little wife say this!"
Shi Li: ...
This time, not only the eyes, but also the face turned red uncontrollably.
My brother is so good!
After putting away the letter, Shi Li walked out of the bedroom happily humming a border tune.
In the lobby on the first floor, Zhou Lingyu's subordinates were sitting around, but only a part of them remained. The rest and Zhou Lingyu were gone.
"Let Xu Suti sneak out to familiarize himself with the area. We'll make sure he remember all the land within a three-kilometer radius by heart." Yuan Shang stood by with his arms folded, watching the fun without fear of trouble.
