Chapter 197 - Reincarnation
As time pa.s.sed, Lin Ming"s deeds became more and more famous. When Lin Ming was 16 years old, he was given the t.i.tle Admiral Fenglang!
It could be said that at the age of 16, Lin Ming had already surpa.s.sed the old generals who had fought on the battlefields for decades.
"Child, I"m afraid it will be difficult for you to have a long life if you stand out too much. I suggest that you restrain yourself," The General looked at his son and couldn"t help but sigh.
Anyone would be extremely excited to have such battle achievements.
After all, Lin Ming"s achievements at the age of 16 had already surpa.s.sed the battle achievements of many famous generals!
However, as an old General who had fought on the battlefield for many years, he understood that Lin Ming had obtained such achievements with his lifespan as the price.
"My lifespan will only be 23 years, my battle achievements are the least of my worries. Of course, if I don"t do anything in my life and don"t enter the battlefield, I might live past 30 years old. But will you be more willing to see me do nothing with my life, or would you rather I live a short but significant life?" Lin Ming asked, looking at the General.
"Either way, even if you don"t go on the battlefield, you will only be able to live for 30 years. If you do enter the battlefield, you will probably die in your 20s. I guess it doesn"t matter then," The General sighed and waved his hand.
"Thank you for understanding."
Due to his reasons, Lin Ming had never called the Genera "father".
"Hah!" The General waved his hand helplessly. Although he felt helpless and heartbroken, there was nothing he could do.
When Lin Ming was 20 years old.
"What"s going on!"
The general was celebrating Lin Ming"s victory when Lin Ming returned with another outstanding battle achievement, but Lin Ming had a sudden nosebleed that couldn"t be stopped at all!
"Someone, someone!" Even the Emperor was panicking!
This was because Lin Ming was the sharp sword of his Empire. As long as Lin Ming was around, his Empire could expand infinitely!
Furthermore, with Lin Ming around, he could also defend his vast Empire!
"Get the imperial physician, get the imperial physician here now!" The Emperor stood up and shouted!
"Ming"er, are you alright?" When Lin Ming came to, his eyes met a concerned Lady.
This lady was the mother of this baby that he had possessed when he came to this world.
"I"m fine," Lin Ming stood up, shook his head, and said.
It seemed that the backlash had arrived.
Even in this world, Lin Ming could still cultivate.
But Lin Ming choose not to. He wanted to experience the natural process of birth, aging, getting sick, and death!
If he did cultivate, such a restriction wouldn"t be able to restrain Lin Ming at all.
"Ming"er, your father said that you can only live to be twenty-three years old. Is it true?" Just as Lin Ming was about to leave the room, a sorrowful voice appeared from behind.
"I do have this premonition," Lin Ming turned his head and said.
"Ming"er, I know you that you have your thoughts. I even think that this 23-year-old is just the limit that you set for yourself. Ming"er, your father and I only have you as a child. You mustn"t do anything ras.h.!.+" The Lady continued to speak.
"I understand," Lin Ming nodded and said.
"I"m off," Lin Ming rode on his warhorse and said.
"Are you going to war again?" The General looked at Lin Ming. When he raised his hand, he knew that he was getting old.
"My dear subordinate, why don"t you rest for a while?" Even the Emperor, who loved expanding his territory, could not help but speak.
He did not want this sharp sword to be broken so soon!
"There"s no need. Even till the last moment, I will fight for the Emperor and expand our territory," Lin Ming shook his head.
"The last moment, Ming"er, you!" Hearing these words, even the Emperor was fl.u.s.tered.
"Don"t worry. This time, I will return safely," After saying these words, Lin Ming urged the warhorse under his feet and entered the battlefield again.
This time, Lin Ming attacked the enemy camp and captured many of the neighboring Kings alive!
The Empire"s territory expanded once again!
Lin Ming returned triumphantly once again!
"Good, good!" The Emperor of the Empire even wanted to applaud Lin Ming.
"t.i.tles and land for you!" The Emperor declared loudly.
"Your Majesty, may I ask, how old will I be this year?" Lin Ming asked the Emperor.
"This year, you will be 23 years old. Tomorrow is your birthday. Haha, I remember it clearly!" The Emperor laughed loudly.
"I will celebrate your birthday for you tomorrow!" The Emperor promised.
"Your Majesty, in the future, I"m afraid I won"t be able to fight for you anymore. As for my birthday tomorrow, I wish to celebrate it at home. Your Majesty, please grant me my wish. Just my parents and me, three people are enough," Lin Ming lowered his head and spoke.
"My dear subordinate, what are you talking about?" The Emperor was stunned for a moment.
Could it be that because of his outstanding military achievements, he was starting to have other thoughts?
Although Lin Ming was only twenty-three this year, he possessed the military talent that others could not possess, as well as extremely high prestige.
It could be said that Lin Ming possessed the ability to rebel!
"Your Majesty, there is no need to think too much about my words. It"s just that I can feel that my end is coming, and thus for my last birthday, I would like to spend it quietly. I hope Your Majesty will grant me my wish," Lin Ming kept his head lowered as he continued.
"My beloved subordinate, what are you saying? You must not speak nonsense!" Hearing Lin Ming"s words, the Emperor"s thoughts were completely in a mess.
"I am very tired today. I shall take my leave," Lin Ming cupped his fists and left.
"Ming "er, what you said just now..." The General could not even manage to finish his sentence before tears immediately gushed out.
"Forgive me, I can"t accompany you during your old age," Lin Ming said apologetically.
"I was a middle-aged man when I had you. I can already be considered to be in my old age," The General wiped his tears and said.
"But can you tell me how you predicted your lifespan?" The General asked.
"Sigh." Lin Ming sighed.
"I have fought for so many years on the battlefield and have gained impressive achievements. I"m afraid I"m suffering a backlash now," Lin Ming said.
"Don"t tell your mother about this, understand?" The General said.
"Yes," Lin Ming nodded.
The next day, snow suddenly fell from the sky!
Lin Ming raised his head. This year"s winter was particularly cold!
"Young General, you"re awake?" Seeing Lin Ming standing outside the door, the maid quickly bowed.
"Yes."
Lin Ming looked at the heavy snow. He hadn"t slept for the whole night.
"Winter this year is really cold. The snow is really heavy too." The General walked out of his room as well.
He also hadn"t slept for the whole night.
"If you leave behind a descendant, you can be considered to have done all you could for your parents," The General suddenly said.
"Father, don"t joke around," Lin Ming waved his hand and said.
"The cold snow will drift past," Lin Ming said softly.
"General, Young General, the birthday banquet is ready!" A maid said as she walked forward.
"Alright!" The General strode forward.
