Finest Servant

Lin Wanrong looked around and determined that he was the only one, and smiled at the man: "Brother, are you calling me?"

This old man made the man in yellow robe laugh and said, "I'm talking to you."

Lin Wanrong was surprised, I don't know you, but what did you say to me? The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you. Do you know Wei Xian?"

"Weixian? I don't know." Lin Wanrong said.

"Not necessarily, you seem to call him Uncle Wei." The man said again.

"Uncle Wei?" Lin Wanrong said in surprise: "How do you know him?"

Wei Xian? Uncle Wei was originally called Wei Xian, but Lin Wanrong didn't know his name until now. It turned out to be only one word different from Wei Zhongxian, so dangerous.

The man smiled and said: "I know him for a long time, so why don't I know him? Not only do I know him, but I also know you. Your name is Lin Wanrong, and now you are working in the Xiao family. Right or wrong?"

As soon as these words were said, Lin Wanrong no longer had any doubts. The name Lin San was indeed taken by Old Man Wei. In the world, only Lao Wei and Lin Wanrong knew the details.

"How is it? Believe it, can you come forward and talk about it?" The man smiled, his eyes were bright, and even though he was smiling, there was an air of arrogance and arrogance.

"This old gentleman, do you really know Uncle Wei?" Lin Wanrong stepped forward and said. Looking at this man carefully, at first glance, it seems that he is middle-aged, but it is not necessarily the case. Although this old gentleman is well maintained, his face is morbidly pale, and his body is not very good.

Seeing that Lin Wanrong was getting close, the strong men nearby became nervous. The old man in yellow robe shook his head slightly, and the group settled down.

The old man in yellow robe narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him, and said slowly, "Are you Lin Wanrong?" Although his voice was not loud. However, there seemed to be a strange rhythm that sounded in Lin Wanrong's ears like a heavy drum, making him feel a sense of oppression. *, this old man is a little weird.

"I'm Lin Wanrong. I don't know what this old gentleman has to do with me?" It was really strange. Although the old man was talking with a smile, Lin Wanrong could always feel the pressure of the position. It seems that the old man in yellow robe has a majestic aura that makes people have to surrender.

After coming to this world, Lin Wanrong felt a little restrained for the first time, as if in front of this person, how much ability could not be used.

Lin Wanrong glanced at the old man.

However, he saw that he was looking at him with a smile but not a smile, as if in his eyes he was a mouse that was caught by others.

Right? I can do it too. Lin Wanrong's stubbornness came up in her heart, and she looked at the old man without saying a word, and was a little cautious at first. Gradually, but I got used to it. No matter who you are, you are not always the same as Lao Tzu, who has one nose and two eyes, and is afraid that you will be a ball.

As soon as he let go of his mind, the pressure on his body suddenly decreased, and the old man's eyes were no longer sharp.

"Old gentleman, you didn't come to me just to see me, right? Do you want to invite me to dinner? If you have something to say, please say it directly. I am rarely polite." Lin Wanrong said with a smile, in this majestic In front of the old man, he became more and more comfortable. In this world, there are really few people who can overwhelm him in momentum.

The old man laughed, his aura softened a lot, and said, "Wei Xian is right, you really are very thick-skinned."

On the day, this old man doesn't know how to be gentle. Isn't this shaving my face? Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "People live in this world, the most important thing is this face. The same face, but a hundred different. Life. Laugh on the outside, cry on the inside; laugh on the inside, cry on the outside. This face is the most unbearable thing in the world, what is the use of it.”

The old man burst into laughter, his voice actually penetrated the entire bamboo forest and startled a few birds hidden deep in the forest. The momentum was truly extraordinary. Lin Wanrong glanced at him, you old man, why are you laughing so loudly, isn't it scaring people?

The old man laughed a few times, but he coughed sharply again. A person who looked like an attendant hurriedly handed over some pills. The old man swallowed the pills, his breath was relieved, and his face became more bloody, looking at Lin Wanrong. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so young, yet you can have such insights. You are right, in this world, the skin is the most useless thing. Some people have good-looking skin, but no one knows what's in his stomach. What are you pretending to be, what's the point of having such a face."

He calmed down a bit and said with a smile: "I knew from Wei Xian that you have a set of skills. When I saw you today, it really was a bit of a trick. Would you mind chatting with this old man for a while?"

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Old gentleman, I have all come here, and I don't mind anything. To tell you the truth, Uncle Wei is my savior, and if you are his friend, then he is also my friend. .Have a few words with friends, what else do you mind?"

The old man in yellow robe looked at him and said, "Good mouth." His eyes flashed sharply, and he said, "You said that Wei Xian was your savior, but if one day you had to kill him, would you do it? Woolen cloth?"

The old man's eyes opened and closed, and there seemed to be a kind of divine light, as if he wanted to see through everyone, but Lin Wanrong was not afraid and said with a smile: "Is there such a possibility? Even if there is, I will not do it. People What makes me different from beasts is that I have my own thoughts and feelings, if I can't stop with Uncle Wei, how is it different from beasts?"

"Women's kindness!" The old man closed his eyes and sighed, "Those who achieve great things must be informal. You are still too young."

Khan, a man in his twenties, even said he was young, and he didn't know what the old man had experienced. Lin Wanrong didn't go to argue with him, and smiled: "Old gentleman, when you come to me, you are with me. Say these things?"

The old man's expression changed, and he said with a smile: "Not all. Where are you from?"

I also want to know how to answer this question, Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly and said: "It's a Jingchu person."

"I heard that the business of the Xiao family was all planned by you, right?" the old man said again.

Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "That's right."

The old man nodded: "You do have a set of skills in this business. If the people of the world are like you and put their minds on business, where will there be trouble in the world?"

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "If you want the world to be free from misfortune, it is extremely simple. People's livelihood is sufficient."

"Oh," the old man glanced at him with interest. Said: "Let's talk about it."

"People's livelihood, people's livelihood, to put it bluntly, is the livelihood of the people. There are two words for livelihood. For ordinary people, it can't be simpler. With food and clothing, the people of Dahua are the kindest people. They are satisfied with food and clothing. Where would you want to do something wrong?" Lin Wanrong said.

"Food and clothing are naturally important. I'm afraid that people will have bad intentions." The old man glanced at him and said, "It's like the White Lotus Sect made a mess, and was used by people with bad intentions."

Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Sir, I don't fully agree with your statement. The reason for the chaos of the White Lotus Sect was the riots of the hungry people, and it was only later used by the demons. It has become the current state of doing all kinds of evil. If the people have food and clothing, they will What's the reason for the chaos?"

A cold light flashed in the old man's eyes and said: "The chaos of the white lotus is ruining the foundation of Dahua. In your opinion, how to eradicate it?"

Today, why did this old man discuss these matters with me? Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Sir, this is not my responsibility, right?"

The old man in yellow robe smiled and said, "I'm just chatting with you casually, you can tell me your opinion."

Lin Wanrong didn't have a good impression of Bai Lian. The old man was also a friend of Old Man Wei, so he said: "Divided and separated. Take the leader, attack from inside and outside, and rule it out."

The old man pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "What do you think about the invasion of the heavy enemy from the north?"

"The invasion of the heavy enemy from the north?" Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, why did the old man ask about this, the more he heard it, the more mysterious he became, his tone was a bit like Qingxuan, he smiled and said: "Is it worth thinking about? Others have come in, other than the first battle, is there any other way?"

"If everyone thinks like you, then there's nothing to worry about." The old man snorted again: "The Hu people have only temporarily attacked me for a few cities, and haven't invaded my Dahua hinterland, so the court is the public opinion. All over, the main battle and the main peace faction became a quarrel."

Lin Wanrong shook his head, "Damn it, what's going on with our nation? We like to cause civil strife when we have nothing to do. When the enemy comes, we will fight, and we will have a fart."

"The treasury is empty, the sergeants lack combat power, the court has no good generals, and the country has no strong soldiers. The ministers in the court suggested that it is better to seek peace first, and then seek plots." The old man glanced at him and said, "What do you think?"

"Begging for peace, he's his mother." Lin Wanrong scolded angrily.

The old man smiled slightly: "Are you the main battle?"

Lin Wanrong hummed: "If you win, you have to fight, if you don't win, you have to fight. If you can't win in one year, we just lost the city. We can fight again in the next year, and fight every year until we win. If we don't dare to fight, Then you will lose people's hearts. Lost city or lost country, old gentleman, which one would you choose?"

"Losing the city and losing the country?" The old man sighed and said with a smile: "What a lost city and a lost country, I didn't expect you to have such insight. That person in the court, but none of you can understand it."

Lin Wanrong shook his head and said: "It's not that they don't understand, it's that they see it too clearly. If the country is subjugated, they will surrender, and they are also high-ranking officials. Only the emperor sitting on the Golden Palace is the most nervous, and everyone else can surrender. But he couldn't. Who do you think understands the human heart? The human heart, the human heart—"

"Hahahaha-" The old man in Huafu laughed a few times: "It's good to say, people's hearts are all people's hearts. Since ancient times, this has been a bad thing about people's hearts. Lin Wanrong, you are not young, but you have a thorough understanding of people's hearts, good , very well."

The old man was even more excited, and said: "If the main battle is the main battle, then the Hu people are burly and powerful. With the combat power of my Dahua soldiers, they are all in a weak position. How to fight?"

I*, ask me this question too? I have never fought a war. Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, I have never been to the court or the battlefield. I don't know much about this battle."

The old gentleman waved his hand and said: "It's better if you don't go to the court, you can say anything. If you go to the court, I'm afraid you won't be able to say anything. You only say that if you are someone who doesn't understand state affairs and wars, you will be a mess. What would you do if you got in there? Maybe better than those of us in the middle."

Lin Wanrong saw that this person was well behaved, and his conversation was quite imposing, and he said to himself. This Uncle Wei's friend doesn't know what his origins are. He speaks with a certain majesty, and his tone is very supportive. Without any scruples, I am afraid that there are some great forces in Beijing.

He is a profiteer, and he can't afford to do it without profit, so he smiled and said: "Old gentleman. These things are things that I can talk about, so let's not talk about them.

The old man smiled and said: "I know that you are a business material. Today I asked you to say this, but it will not let you waste your words in vain, so I owe you a condition. Come on. When you come to Beijing to find me, I will give you a wish."

Sure enough, this old man has a great background. I just don't know what kind of official he is. How could Lao Wei know such a dignitary?

The old man in yellow robe took a waist badge from his waist and said, "This can be regarded as a token. If you come to the capital in the future, you will find the Yamen to show this token. Someone will take you to see me."

He handed the waist card to Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong took it and saw that it was half the size of a palm. It was actually made of pure gold. other things.

"This old gentleman, are you from the palace?" Lin Wanrong asked in surprise. He has never seen this thing before, why does it look like a imperial envoy? However, at least one side of the imperial envoy token should be engraved with characters. Generally, it is the word "Yu", which symbolizes imperial power. The more advanced one is the word "I", which means that if I come in person, it is a high-end product, which is difficult to see. However, I have never seen the engraved dragon land on both sides, and I don't know what it is. However, judging from the weight of this gold medal, I am afraid it will be worth a lot of silver.

Seeing him playing with the gold medal, the old man smiled and said, "If he comes to the capital one day, you will know who I am. Today, you can confidently and boldly say, if you are an outsider, how should you deal with this country and war. "

Waste a few saliva, get a gold medal, this business is full of business, Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Since the old gentleman asked me to say it, then I will say it directly. It is true that there are foreign enemies in the north, but the foreign enemies are not as powerful as we imagined. They must also have enemies. The enemies of the enemies are our friends. Why don't we, Dahua, unite with them and attack the strong enemies together? This is the truth of making distant and close attacks."

"Besides, these nomads, although they are powerful in combat, are easily divided. The rivalry between father, son and brother is very fierce. Why don't we use it? I have a lot of advisors in Dahua, and there are not a few people who are eloquent and good lobbyists. If someone goes deep into the enemy's land, instigating a three-inch home, and making some short-term benefits, it is not impossible to divide from the inside." Lin Wanrong finished speaking in one breath, and he admired himself a little, *, I can really fool, It's as true as it is said.

"Good eloquence, good lobbyist?" The old man muttered to himself, but he glanced at Lin Wanrong intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a beat, oh, isn't that what I mean? Damn, I accidentally walked around Lao Tzu. If I went to the hinterland to persuade the enemy, it would be a lifeless death. I can't do such a loss-making business.

The old man was silent for a while, his eyes swept away, and he said, "If you are an outsider, this method is also simple and practical, and it makes some sense. Then you talk about the war, what do you think?"

Lin Wanrong made a fool of himself. Seeing this old man seemed very satisfied, he thought, I am summarizing the experience of history books, and I don't know how many TV novels I have read. Isn't it easy to give you some big and empty ideas? These words are like floating clouds in the sky and the earth. They sound eloquent, but they are invisible and intangible.

Speaking of the war, Lin Wanrong said: "I have never been on the battlefield, but everything needs to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses. This trick is universal. For example, if the enemy is a fine cavalry, he will be trapped in the city and the streets. If you are proficient in infantry, you will be limited to cavalry warfare. Those nomadic people are experts in cavalry warfare, but they are not good at sieging cities, and they are thousands of miles deep. This logistical support will definitely be unsustainable. In my own land, Dahua , as long as a call is made, it is an inch of blood and an inch of rivers and mountains, one hundred thousand young men and one hundred thousand soldiers, all over the land are Dahua people, all over the land are available soldiers, how can there be no soldiers, and how can you not win? say?"

Lin Wanrong said later, but he was a little too involved, and hurriedly restrained his emotions.

The old man glanced at him and said, "If you say this in the court, I'm afraid it will become the target of criticism again. One inch of river and mountain is one inch of blood, one hundred thousand young men and one hundred thousand soldiers. If you think so, why worry that the Tartars will not be destroyed, and the rivers and mountains will not be restored?"

He sighed and said with a smile: "It's just that enthusiasm is not enough for this war. Your words are on paper, but they may not be practical on the battlefield."

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Old gentleman, although my words are superficial, some of them are on paper, but they can be regarded as the general direction of the program. It is enough to outline the outline and know people to make good use of it. As for how to implement it, it should be my Dahua military attache general. Let's find a way, the imperial court gives them salaries, it is to let them protect the family and the country, otherwise what's the use of it."

The old man nodded and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have some knowledge, and Wei Xian is not wrong."

An attendant came over and said a few words to the old man, the old man nodded and said to Lin Wanrong: "I have something to go first, if you come to the capital in the future, come to me as I said, Remember, remember."

Watching the old man get on the sedan and run away under the escort of his attendants, Lin Wanrong was still wondering, how could I have been chatting with this old man about national affairs and wars for a long time for no reason? I can't believe it. .

He looked at the gold medal in his hand, it was heavy and hefty, and he took it into his arms. This was the only gain from this war of words.
