The moment Du Ruhui saw Lin Chuan, a pure smile bloomed on his old face.
It was as if he had relaxed after taking his guard down.
Even the wrinkles on her face seemed to have smoothed out.
"Oh Lin Shuai, you've really defeated this old man!”
Du Ruhui hurried over and bowed to Lin Chuan.
However, Lin Chuan caught him.
"Keming, what are you doing? Why are we being so polite?”
"Moreover, you are much older than me. I can't accept this bow.”
Lin Chuan smiled and helped him up. He still respected Du Ruhui.
Compared to Wei Zheng's cunning, Fang Xuanling's clever, Li Shimin's ruthless and decisive, Du Ruhui was different.
His entire body revealed a steady and capable energy.
This Duke Lai of the Great Tang was like a hardworking old cow.
If you leave anything to him, he will definitely complete it better than you expect.
Moreover, he was well-behaved and would not overstep his boundaries. He was absolutely reliable.
Especially since there were so many miscellaneous matters in the village. Lin Chuan had finally found his savior!
He didn't mind keeping Du Ruhui for a few more days.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed loudly.
"Alright, alright, alright."
"It has been three years since we last met, how is Lin Shuai doing?”
The two of them sat down in the pavilion, sipping tea as they reminisced about the past.
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly.
"Not good."
"But it's not bad.”
"Keming, you have aged a lot in these three years.”
He looked at Du Ruhui. This Duke Lai of the Great Tang was only in his early fifties, and could be considered to be in his prime in the future.
However, the person in front of him now was a white-haired, wrinkled, and skinny old man.
"Has your thirst worsened again?"
Lin Chuan could tell at a glance.
Diabetics was also known as diabetes in later generations.
A chronic illness that could not be cured in later generations was even more difficult to cure in the Great Tang.
It could only be improved through recuperation, diet, and exercise.
Of course, Lin Chuan's medical skills and acupuncture techniques could also alleviate the pain slightly.
However, this was only a temporary solution.
Looking at Du Ruhui's weak appearance, he should have reached his limit.
If this dragged on, all kinds of complications would appear. If he did not make adjustments, he would probably not live for more than a few years.
Du Ruhui took a sip of tea and smiled bitterly."Nothing can hide from Lin Shuai's eyes.”
"However, Chang 'an has a lot of work to do, so there's no time to recuperate.”
"I should take advantage of the remaining few years to meet Lin Shuai a few more times.”
Lin Chuan's face turned cold." Nonsense! Li Shiming won't give you more men?"”
"I don't believe that he really has no one to use!”
"More than half of the court's political affairs are on you and Fang Xuanling, how can Li Shiming watch?”
Lin Chuan was a little angry.
If Du Ruhui were to recuperate well, he was confident that he could live for at least another twenty years!
However, if this continued, even if he did not have diabetes, he would still be exhausted!
Du Ruhui held the teacup and stared at the few fresh tea leaves floating inside.
After a long silence, he finally spoke.
"It has nothing to do with Your Majesty. Brother Fang and I volunteered.”
"Since you've all left, the people who stayed behind have to do something.”
Du Ruhui seemed to be talking to himself.
He turned to look at the mountainside.
From here, they could see the confrontation between Li Junxian and Wei Zheng.
Lin Chuan waved his hand lightly.
His gaze also landed on the platform on the mountainside.
Over there, Wei Zheng had already attacked.
Clang! Clang! The sound of the sword reverberated in the valley like a dragon's roar. Even he could hear it clearly.
"You and Xuan Ling are too obsessed.”
Lin Chuan said faintly.
"The Great Tang has lost its power. So what if the power of the court is given to the Zhangsun Clan?”
"What's the point of all of you risking your lives in the end?”
"The aristocratic families of the world have used Zhangsun Wuji's spark to revive themselves and make a comeback.”
"It's better to let go and have some leisure.”
Du Ruhui smiled.”
"Without this breath, what's the difference between that and death?”
At this moment, on the platform halfway up the mountain.
Wei Renjing had already struck out a second time.
The sword was like the autumn rain, earth-shattering!
Separated by the cliff, the two of them could feel that sharp sword intent.
Lin Chuan's hand that was holding the teacup suddenly trembled, and half of the tea spilled.
There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, followed by a hint of helplessness.
"Then you're even more stubborn than Wei Zheng.”
"In fact, it's a little stupid."
"This is the first time I've heard someone call me stupid." Du Ruhui laughed.”
"But the things in the world are only meaningful when done by some fools.”
"Isn't it?"
Du Ruhui already understood.
He and Fang Xuanling didn't have to work so hard.
Everyone could tell that the Zhangsun Clan had already gained power. It was only a matter of time before they took control of the Imperial Court.
And those aristocratic family disciples were not all mediocre talents.
Some of them were even quite amazing and capable.
They could give them some power and give them some work to do.
But they didn't.
Ten years ago, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were the executors of the reform appointed by Lin Chuan.
All the countermeasures were discussed with them first.
Every decree was personally issued and verified by him and Fang Xuanling.
If the Great Tang's golden age was a blueprint proposed by Lin Chuan, then it would be the Great Tang Empire.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were the executors who turned these ideas into reality!
In the ten years of Zhenguan, they had personally supported the Great Tang bit by bit!
All of this was the hard work of the two of them for ten years!
Even if everything would be overthrown after the aristocratic families took power.
They also wanted to do their best to preserve some systems and rules for future generations to benefit.
This was the reason why Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling had been struggling to hold on.
Even though they didn't have much hope now, they only wanted to do their best and leave it to fate.
He was just doing it with a clear conscience.
Lin Chuan fell silent.
On the platform at the mountainside, the two of them had been fighting for a long time.
The Dragon Spring Sword was like a silver dragon, and its sword momentum became more and more astonishing.
Suddenly, Wei Zheng's sword came from the bottom up, shooting out a cold light as if it was splitting the sky and earth!
It was as if it wanted to tear the sky apart!
Li Junxian's face finally paled!
He could not care less about life and death. The aura around his body suddenly changed.
"Clang!" A deafening sound rang out, and the entire Yintai Mountain could hear it clearly.
The scene froze, and the surroundings were silent. Only the strong wind was bending the grass and trees.
The sound of leaves falling could be heard everywhere.
Wei Zheng's sword stabbed into his unsheathed saber.
……
……
Lin Chuan stood up with his back to Du Ruhui. The sunlight cast a long shadow on him.
The bleak autumn wind blew against his robe, making it flutter loudly.
In the gloomy autumn, he said this sentence.
"When you see the truth of fate, the one you still love is a warrior.”
" But life kisses you with pain, and you still f * cking hug it with a song-"
"You're all idiots!"
