Finest Servant

Watching Li Tai walk away, a few people didn't know what to say. Li Wuling said: "Lin San, you really don't want to join the army? Although I don't agree with your point of view, I admire your courage. It's rare to see people who dare to talk to my grandfather like this."

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Telling the truth is to respect the old general. Although I don't want to join the army right now, the world is impermanent and changing. Maybe one day we will become brothers of life and death again. No one can tell."

Hu Bugui hurriedly nodded and said, "Exactly. General Lin's actions are unpredictable. It's not something that simple people like me can understand. I think there will be a time to surprise my brothers."

Hearing that General Lin refused to join the army again, everyone was disappointed, but as General Lin said, things are impermanent, everything will change, and it is not known that he will come back one day.

Everyone is an open-minded person, and they are very happy to talk about brotherhood. Although Li Wuling was young, he grew up in the army since he was a child, and became one with them, without any barriers.

Lin Wanrong asked about the special situation of Hu Bugui and the others after they arrived in Beijing, and the three suddenly turned pale again. It turned out that Xu Wei valued the Right Route Army, who had made great achievements. After the army returned to the capital, Xu Dashuai personally recommended to the emperor, Hu Bugui and others went to the Hajj and were rewarded, and each received a reward of 10,000 households.

Not only that, Xu Wei also recommended the three of them to the account of General Li Tai, the first marshal of Dahua. When they went to the front line to fight against the Hu people, it would be no problem for the three of them to make new contributions.

Lin Wanrong nodded, Xu Wei is indeed a rare and insightful person who does not seek selfishness or greed for merit. Lao Xu is an expert in exterminating Bailian and rectifying the officialdom, but when it comes to fighting the Hu people, the most respected old general Li Tai is the one. Hu Bugui and others are all brave and resourceful generals. Only by following Li Tai's tent and going north to fight against Hu can they make the best use of them.

Talked for a while. Hu Bugui sighed: "When it comes to fighting the Hu people, although I have the will to win, there are some facts that I have to admit. The Hu thieves are tall, strong, and good at fighting with horses. It's really not enough to fight alone. But I, Dahuasheng, are in strategy and command, so I can defend the enemy from outside the country. It's just that over the years, the imperial court has paid more attention to literature and less martial arts. Learn the poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting of the land that is not used in the land, when it comes to the real use of troops, look at the court, but can't choose a few decent generals. What's more, Wang Bagaozi proposed to give up the land and pay tribute every year to appease Hu. People. Keep Dahua in peace for a while. Damn, are these people pig brains. The ambition of the thief and wolf, everyone should look at it, but these big-bodied and round-waisted adults can't see it? Mom's useless—" Having said that, Hu Bugui slapped the table heavily with anger on his face.

Seeing Lin Wanrong's astonishment, Du Xiuyuan knew that he was not in the court and did not know about these military affairs. He sighed and said, "General Lin, don't blame Brother Hu for being rude. A few months ago, Master Xu discussed the issue of sending troops to fight the Hu people this spring. Some people propose to cede land and seek peace, which is really disgusting. Fortunately, Xu Dashuai and General Li have been able to overcome the shortcomings.

The emperor just made up his mind to send troops this spring to fight the Hu people to the death. It's a pity that I have lived comfortably for many years, and my style of writing is prosperous. There are many talented scholars and scholars, but the military generals are extremely scarce. In the expedition of the army, there were many Chinese officials and generals, except for General Li, none of them could be of great use. In desperation, the only option is to ask General Li to take over the seal of command again and lead the army on an expedition in such a rare age. How can it not be heartbreaking? "

Speaking of this, several people sighed for a while, and even the young Li Wuling shook his head again and again.

It is the natural law of social development to prosper in prosperous times and prosper in turbulent times. No dynasty or generation can escape, but Lin Wanrong looked at it and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I have a long history in Dahua, it is not without Talents are just hidden in the abyss and have not yet been discovered. There are talented people in the country, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years. When a critical moment comes, there will be heroes and heroes who will come forward."

Hu Bugui said a little: "Although that is the case, but seeing the old general who has to travel thousands of miles to fight for the country, my brother and I are anxious - General Lin, you really don't think about it anymore? "

After talking for a long time, they are still thinking about it, Lin Wanrong smiled and said: Let's put this matter aside, the plan may not keep up with the changes. Oh, by the way, the Mr. Xu you are talking about is the Miss Xu who teaches the arithmetic calendar? "

Du Xiuyuan said curiously, "It's this Mr. Xu. What's the matter, General Lin has seen her? That's good, you are all such talented people, you will definitely be able to have a good conversation and become confidants."

confidant? Khan, how do I feel like a mortal enemy! Hu Bugui also nodded: "Mr. Xu is erudite and talented, he knows everything about astronomy, geography, arithmetic and calendar. I didn't really believe it before. These days, she and General Li have often come to teach me the art of war. The general also often asks her for advice, and it is not an exaggeration for me, Hu, to say that she is the most amazing woman in Dahua."

Listening to a few of them bragging about Miss Xu, Li Wuling smiled and said, "You still need to talk about Aunt Xu's talent. Which one in the capital doesn't know and which one doesn't?"

aunt? Lin Wanrong was surprised, Miss Xu is Li Tai's daughter? No, there is clearly a relative surnamed Xu and one surnamed Li, who can't be beaten by eight poles, and an aunt from where.

He pulled Du Xiuyuan and said, "Big Brother Du, is this Mr. Xu related to General Li?"

Du Xiuyuan sighed and said, "You are not in the army, and you don't know their origins. It's no wonder. The Li and Xu families are inseparable, and Miss Xu was given to General Li Tai's second son since she was a child. It's just that the old general guards the border all the year round, and he The capital was far away, so Li Er Gongzi followed his father and died in battle before he met Miss Xu. The Li family was full of loyalty, and both of them sacrificed their lives for the country. The emperor issued eighteen imperial decrees. Only then did I get over the old general's temper and brought him back from the border to Beijing for retirement."

It turned out that, Lin Wanrong sighed deeply, this Miss Xu turned out to be Li Tai's daughter-in-law who had never been there. No wonder she asked her if she was married, but she didn't answer at all. No wonder she wore a woman's hair in a bun. The boy was still chasing after him. A slender lady, a gentleman is good. Not to mention the widowed Wenjun, which is normal.

"Lin San, do you know my aunt too?" Li Wuling said, "I feel that the two of you should get along very well."

"Young man, men's feelings are often wrong." Lin Wanrong laughed and patted Li Wuling's shoulder. Hu Bugui and others also laughed.

After saying goodbye to the Jinghua College that these people had left, it was already dusk, and I didn't know if the old friend of the eldest lady who went to visit the lady came back. Lin Wanrong was idle and had nothing to do, so she wandered outside the Jinghua College.

This Jinghua College is built on the mountain and embraces a deep lake, but it has a nice name called "Bi Bo Tan", and the environment is elegant. Pleasant scenery. The cool breeze by the lake was blowing on the face, and although the bones were slightly frozen, it also made people sober.

Lin Wanrong found a clean place, and sat down with a dry willow tree. The mist on the lake was vast and misty, but he looked a little stunned.

When can I find Qingxuan? Do you really have to wait like this? Wait until the seventh day of July? But what about Qiaoqiao? She was still looking forward to returning to Jinling day and night. Thinking of this, he felt a little irritable. Throwing a stone into the water, with a thud, layers of ripples spread everywhere.

"Who?" A coquettish shout came from not far away.

Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, looked up, but saw a figure standing beside a tree not far away. It was vaguely seen that it was a woman. The thick trunk covered her slender body and face, so that Lin Wanrong didn't even notice her existence. . I think it was this strange sound that woke the woman from her contemplation, and she would only ask.

This lake doesn't belong to your home, so you have to make such a fuss about throwing a stone? He was in a bad mood... He snorted and called, "It's not human!"

The woman listened to his words, looked over attentively, and said, "So it's you!"

Seeing the charming face behind the tree, it turned out to be that Miss Xu. Considering the meeting in the temple yesterday, this was the third meeting in two days.

Where do we not meet in life, hehe, Miss Xu, we are really fateful. "Since he was seen by her, he simply strode towards Miss Xu.

Miss Xu glanced at him vigilantly, and said in surprise, "Are you following me?"

track? I haven't used this trick for a long time. Lin Wanrong shrugged: "I said no, would you believe it? Just treat me as stalking you, very good, am I robbing a fortune or a sex?"

Miss Xu frowned and said, "The language is light, and it really deserves a fight."

She raised the serial crossbow in her hand: "I warned you yesterday, but you still haven't repented."

This little girl, carry this thing with you for self-defense. Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Repent, repent for what? I don't steal or rob, who do I want to repent to. But Miss Xu, you carry a serial crossbow with you, and you don't know who you are guarding against. Brother Li Sheng Li didn't tell you. But, isn't this chain crossbow omnipotent?"

"Do you know Li Sheng?" Miss Xu said strangely: "This serial crossbow is powerful and suitable for cavalry and infantry combat. What kind of weapon can be stronger than it—ah—"

There was a loud bang, the water splashed high, a huge vortex on the lake slowly scattered, and the air was filled with the smell of fireworks.

Lin Wanrong smiled, stretched out his palm and shook it: "Have you seen it, this is called a Yang Finger, which is hundreds of times stronger than your serial crossbow. I let you, so I don't care about you."

When Miss Xu first heard the loud noise, she covered her ears with fright, but when she saw him showing off triumphantly in front of her, she couldn't help but chuckle: "A musket is a musket, but you have to pretend What a yang finger, bullying others, but never trying to deceive me!"

"Do you know the musket?" Lin Wanrong said in horror. The thing that Qingxuan gave him was extremely precious, but not everyone knew it. This Miss Xu could say her name, why didn't he surprise him.

"This musket was introduced by Westerners. In the past, a British missionary in the palace demonstrated its power. I have seen its power and studied it repeatedly, but with my Dahua craftsmanship, it cannot be imitated yet. —"

"British missionary?" Lin Wanrong was shocked, took a step forward to her, and said loudly, "What's his name?"

Miss Xu hurriedly took two steps back and said with a crossbow in her hand, "What are you going to do?"

Mother, I can still insult you, Lin Wanrong said nervously: "Excuse me, Miss Xu, this British missionary. Does it sound like York?"

Miss Xu looked at him in astonishment and said, "How do you know? Missionary York has already returned to Britain. Could it be that this one in your hand is—"

Thank God for thanking people, Lin Wanrong can't wait to cry in the sky, and finally found someone who can talk, although this person is not so friendly to him.

He tried his best to make the expression on his face kind. Gently said: "Miss Xu, do you know who the missionary York gave this musket to later?"

"You have a musket in your hand, and you want to ask who he gave it to?" Miss Xu shook her head and hummed, "I bully a weak woman with a musket in my hand, but it is inexplicable to show off like this."

You are inexplicable. If you don't point an arrow at me, I will draw a gun at you? Lin Wanrong was annoyed in her heart, but there was a smile on her face that didn't pay for her life: "Miss Xu misunderstood. This musket was given by a friend of mine, but unfortunately we separated later. I don't know where she lives, so I have it. This question. There is a young lady named Xiao Qingxuan, do you know?"

Miss Xu shook her head and said, "I don't know the Miss Xiao you mentioned. As for who York gave this musket, I have never heard of it."

I*. You don't know anything, are you still so stubborn? Lin Wanrong tried her best to keep the smile on her face from being stiff: "Miss Xu. You said York was a missionary. You saw him in the palace in the past, didn't you?"

This time, Miss Xu finally nodded, but Lin Wanrong was stunned: In the palace? How did Qing Xuan get involved with Gong Zhong? Palace maid? Not like, is there such a beautiful palace maid? Can the emperor spare her? Concubine? Bah, she's my wife, she was still a virgin when she was a double cultivator, a concubine!

Those who are in the palace are not palace maids, nor concubines. Could it be that she was—his heart was beating so fast that he almost jumped in shock.

Princess? My wife is a princess? Day, then am I not the concubine? He didn't dare to think about it anymore, thinking about Qingxuan's peerless grace and unique temperament, he felt more and more that this possibility was very high. If this is the case, I would like to thank the heavens, the Xiao family, and the White Lotus Sect. They joined forces and gave me a princess wife, wow ha ha ha!

On this side of him, he was living in a beautiful dream, but on the other side, Miss Xu looked confused. I saw this servant of the Xiao family, with a rich expression on his face, sometimes surprised, sometimes happy, sometimes obscene, sometimes longing, really unpredictable .

"Sanlin, what's the matter with you?" Miss Xu called out when she saw this person being so stupid, she couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Oh, is Miss Xu talking to me? I'm fine, I'm fine, hehe-" Lin Wanrong woke up from self-indulgence. Right now, these are still his guesses. Before finding Qingxuan, everything was Unknown.

Guarding against arrogance and impatience, he continued to work hard, and he encouraged himself in his heart, but the smile on his face was very mean, hehe laughed a few times before saying: "Miss Xu, you are very familiar with the affairs in this palace, right? You said Say, how many princesses are there under our current emperor Dahua?"

Miss Xu smiled and said, "I can't say I'm very familiar. It's just that everyone in the Dahua people knows about the things you've asked. How come you don't know? Could it be that you don't live in Dahua?"

I'm from Mars, can't I? Lin Wanrong said with a dry smile: "It's mainly because I've been too busy recently, which has confused my mind. May I ask how many princesses there are in the emperor today, and how old are they?"

Miss Xu scrutinized him carefully, and seeing that his expression was eager and did not seem to be fake, she had a strange intuition. Maybe this person came out of the ground, and she didn't even know this.

"There are two princes to be an emperor. The eldest princess is in her 40s, but the little princess is in her twenties."

The 40-year-old is definitely not my wife. Could it be that Qingxuan is the second princess? The two sisters were twenty years apart, and the emperor did not know how they were born.

Miss Xu seemed to see through the doubts in his heart and knew that he knew nothing about the royal heirs, so she simply said: "Being an emperor is diligent in government, loves the people, works hard for a long time, only married five concubines in his life, and They were all married when they were not on the throne. Between the two princesses, a prince was born, but 20 years ago, when the emperor was still in his residence, the prince died unexpectedly. Although a princess was born later, the pain of losing his son It makes the emperor very sad, and he has not come out for twenty years."

It was so! This emperor ascended the throne when he was in his thirties, when he was young and strong, how come no more children were born? Is it really because of "fuck" and "days" that the thing is damaged? Weird!

Lin Wanrong was full of doubts in her heart. She wanted me to be an emperor in my thirties, and I would be fierce and fierce. In twenty years, instead of having a hundred children, I would have eighty children!

"Then ask Miss Xu again, is this little princess married to someone else?" Lin Wanrong asked shyly.

"Why are you asking this? Could it be that you want to—" Miss Xu smiled and said: "These two princesses are indifferent by nature, living in a secluded place. In a year, it is rare for anyone to see her, even my father only met her when she was young. . As for whether there is a relative, I don't know. Maybe, you can inquire. "

The latter sentence is purely sarcastic, Lin Wanrong pretended not to hear it, "Indifferent by nature, secluded and reclusive", this is somewhat similar to Qingxuan, but based on this alone, can I judge that my wife is a princess? It seems that it is necessary to enter the palace and "communicate" with the second princess.

Seeing the Third Young Master pondering bitterly, Miss Xu said, "Do you still have questions to ask?,

"It's basically gone, Mr. Xie Xu answered the question in my heart, and I'll invite you to dinner another day!" Lin Wanrong said with a grin.

Miss Xu shook her head slightly: "But you haven't answered my question yet. How did you know Li Sheng? Do you know Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan?"

"It should be counted as acquaintance, after all, everyone is a mixed bag."

Miss Xu nodded slightly and said, "I understand, San Lin, Lin San, so you are the General Lin they often mention!"

"I'm ashamed, I'm not a general, I'm just a little family member of the Xiao family who is unknown, just to eat!" Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

Miss Xu looked at him carefully, and said sternly: "So, you were the one who watched the lanterns and guessed the riddle that day? You were the one who sprouted the seeds and washed their hands in the frying pan? When I heard about you, I admired you very much. It's just that you acted like yesterday, but it's hard to make people feel good. When you do evil things, you use false names, and when you do serious things, you use your big name, which is very false."

Big name? Do you think Lin San is my name? This lady is interesting! He laughed and said, "Miss Xu's words make me suspicious. Listening to what you said, if I didn't act evil like yesterday, I would have a good impression of me?"

Miss Xu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that her unintentional statement would make the other party catch the language problem. Lin San responded very quickly.

"Miss has probably seen a lot of modest gentlemen, and is not used to such evil people as me. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you have bad feelings or good feelings, these are all feelings, just remember. Besides, I never consider myself to be a good person - do Can good people live long?"

Miss Xu didn't know how to refute this fallacy. Lin Wanrong put the musket hidden behind her back into her arms and said with a smile: "Oh, by the way, I heard Miss Xu mention Ling Zun, who is the old man and how do you recognize him? I?"

"He's also a scholar, even if he doesn't mention his name, you'll know it when you meet him." Miss Xu said indifferently.

A scholar? Surnamed Xu? Lin Wanrong's face changed, and he said in surprise: "You are the girl of the old Xu family?" I *, I was kicked by a pig on the head? The surnamed Xu was so outstanding, and he was familiar with Lin San's affairs. Besides Lao Xu and his daughter, who else could he be?

How could this person be so rude, Miss Xu was secretly annoyed, but she didn't have a problem, just nodded.

Lin Wanrong looked at her with a smile and said: "Oh, oh, the young lady of the Xu family has grown like this? I didn't recognize it! Dear, how old are you? I really don't know each other, I knew this earlier, everyone avoided it together yesterday. Rain, I've recognized my relatives—"

No matter how well-mannered Miss Xu is, listening to his words, she couldn't help but burn with anger. Seeing Miss Xu's clenched fist, he pretended not to see it, hehe smiled and said, "Speaking of which, your father and your aunt Su are still the big matchmakers I protect. By the way, girl Xu, what's your name? —"

Seeing him being so arrogant, Miss Xu clenched her teeth secretly, just listening to him mention her father and aunt, she didn't dare not answer, she gritted her teeth and said, "My name is Xu Zhiqing!"—

It's the end of the month, ask for tickets! Monthly tickets and recommendation tickets are all required. Brothers, don't waste them in your hands, hehe!
