Finest Servant

"Who, who summoned me?" Lin Wanrong almost couldn't believe his ears, and asked again with wide eyes.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty summoned you." There was a carriage behind Xu Wei, and Lao Xu took his hand and ran straight to the carriage: "This is a great favor, little brother, just come with me."

The emperor summoned? Lin Wanrong was both surprised and delighted. Just now, he was thinking of pleasing Xu Wei and asking him to introduce himself to the emperor, but at this time the emperor was a step ahead and wanted to call him into the palace, but he was a little hesitant.

"Master Xu, does the emperor know me? Do you know what he called me for?" Lin Wanrong asked cautiously.

"Let's go up first." Xu Wei winked at the driver, and the two pulled Lin San into the car. Old man Xu followed him and got in. This carriage is spacious and bright, with a built-in table that collapses, with a silver silk jade quilt on it, and a teapot and teacup on the table.

"Let's go, go quickly." Xu Wei seemed to be deeply afraid that he would go back on it, and hurriedly instructed the driver outside. The horses raised their hooves, and the tick-tock drove towards the city.

Seeing that everything had been settled, Xu Weicai heaved a long sigh of relief, stepped on a seat, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Okay, the old man has finally lived up to his mission, please come to the palace, little brother. ."

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "What did Mr. Xu say, do I have such a big face? If you say a word, I will come."

Xu Wei once invited him to help him destroy Bailian in Jinling, but he shied away. A few days ago, Li Tai invited him to join the army, but he clearly refused, which made Li Tai jump. I also figured out Lin Wanrong's temperament a bit. This person is maverick and is not easy to serve. Although Lin San had also revealed his intention to visit the palace before, but after so many days. Who knows if he has changed his mind. Seeing him honestly got into the carriage, he calmed down and said with a smile, "Little Brother Lin, do you remember what I said to you a few days ago? If you want to enter the palace privately, you will risk falling The danger of your head, but now that the emperor has summoned you in person, it will be different."

Yes, I knew early on that the old emperor wanted to see me, so I didn't need to waste some money to buy those "ghost painting talismans". Although he is not afraid of the sky and the earth, the emperor is the head of a country. He didn't know anything about the palace, so he was naturally a little hesitant. Now that there is Xu Wei, the old fried dough stick here, of course I have to ask him for advice.

"Master Xu. Now that I was deceived by you into the car, don't hide it any more. You always say, what did the emperor summon me for? Don't you want to invite me to dinner, I'm not familiar with him!" Lin Wanrong said.

Xu Wei laughed and said: "Listening to the little brother, the old man can live for decades. The power of the sky is unpredictable. The emperor summoned you, how can I dare to speculate on my own as a minister? But you showed bravery in the martial arts field yesterday. He is also a great hero in annihilating Bailian, and the emperor will not treat you badly if you come here."

Lin Wanrong nodded,

This is also true, let's not say that the emperor's old man is very likely to be my father-in-law's son, just say that I killed the white lotus for him, and he has to reward me with a golden mountain.

Xu Wei lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, looked around carefully, and then said mysteriously: "Little brother, now it's just you and me. You have to make a confession to the old man. Do you deny it——" He said here, but After a pause involuntarily, Lin Wanrong stopped when he saw that he was halfway through speaking, and couldn't help but said, "Brother Xu, who do you recognize? Hurry up and say it!"

"Do you deny the little princess?" Xu Wei said softly, a smile on his face.

"Princess Ren?" Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a few times. Could it be that he was talking about Qingxuan? I*, didn't he say before that he didn't know Qingxuan? Could it be that this old man lied to me?

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Xu Wei thought he was unwilling to speak, so he smiled slightly and said, "Brother Dong, don't be shy, the emperor has already told me."

"What did the emperor tell you?? What did he say?" Lin Wanrong asked curiously. Could it be that Qingxuan told her father about me and her? So, isn't Lao Tzu going to be the concubine soon? His heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Lao Xu with anticipation.

Xu Wei smiled and said: "Brother Dong has kept the old man a secret. No wonder the old man wanted to recommend you to the emperor, but you rejected him without hesitation. It turned out that the little princess told you—"

"Oh, my uncle Xu, don't play dumb, tell me what's going on, right?" At this time, Lin Wanrong was in a hurry. Dig out that fact.

Xu Wei stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Yesterday, the emperor recruited me into the palace to discuss business affairs, but at the end, he told the old man some great news." He wiped the spit on his lips and said, "The emperor said that he has been wandering outside for many years. Little princess, you have returned to the palace recently, do you think this is great news?"

Back to the palace? Lin Wanrong grabbed Xu Wei, took out the portrait of Xiao Qingxuan from his arms, and handed it to him excitedly: "Brother Xu, tell me quickly, what does this little princess look like? Isn't that a picture of this woman?"

Xu Wei glanced at the figure and smiled bitterly: "Brother Dong, I only learned about this news yesterday. I haven't seen the little princess yet, how can I recognize it? But this little princess must know you—"

"Know me? How do you know, Mr. Xu?" Lin Wanrong looked at Qingxuan's portrait and asked in surprise.

"The emperor said yesterday that after the little princess returned to the palace, he recommended you in front of him. Yesterday, the emperor witnessed your heroic appearance with his own eyes, and he was even more fond of you. In addition, the old man spoke in a timely manner. You entered the palace. Little brother, even the princess has spoken for you, your good day is here!" Xu Wei winked at him mysteriously, showing a smile that a man could understand.

*, this old lewd, you think everyone is you, Su Qinglian must be proficient in many tricks to serve you so lewd.

"Qingxuan, it must be Qingxuan—" Lin San suddenly stood up and said excitedly. The carriage was less than one person tall, and he was almost pierced by him. Xu Wei pulled him down with a smile, and his expression became more and more mysterious: "Is it the Miss Qingxuan you said, the old man can't tell. But. You are going to enter today. Palace, as long as the emperor who is serving is happy and allows you to meet the princess, it is impossible to say."

Saw the treacherous smile on his face. Lin Wanrong calmed down a little, no, there is something weird here. It's still early, and it should be early in the morning. No matter how anxious the emperor is, I'm not a big man who saves the country and the people. He doesn't need to call me into the palace so early.

Lao Xu's treacherousness has a criminal record. He carefully exploited it for a while, hehe said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, the emperor has summoned me. Is that all there is to it? Then don't worry, let the carriage go slowly outside, there is plenty of time. Yes."

Xu Wei hurriedly said: "No, no. The emperor summoned me, and I'm waiting to be a minister, how can I be so neglectful." When he saw the smile on Lin San's face, he smiled and said: "Little brother Lin is really smart. The old man, I won't hide it from you. I just said what I said. Every sentence is true, but I didn't deceive it, it's just. All I said is good news."

"So, there is still bad news?" Lin Wanrong said lightly with a smile on his face. Knowing that this old man is not so easy to deal with, the first adviser in front of the emperor, who came to summon himself for such a trivial matter, would not use him to run in person. Even because of Qingxuan's identity and the status of old Xu's minister of households, there is no need to flatter himself like this, there must be something in it.

"Is it bad news? There are a few, and they are also related to you, brother." Xu Wei sneered.

about me? Could it be that there was a problem with Ning Yuxi? He was puzzled, but he heard Xu Wei continue: "Brother Lin, it is the beginning of the spring season. At this time every year, all the affiliated countries around me, Dahua, come to congratulate us, and this year is no exception."

What Lao Xu said seems to have nothing to do with Fairy Ning, but something about Chao He. What kind of bad news is this, and what does it have to do with me? It's not that the princess of a small country has taken a fancy to me, the third brother, and wants the overlord to force me on? He smiled cheaply and pretended to be surprised: "Wan Guo is here to congratulate? This is a good thing, laughing at the Sui Gong, and showing my great power, how can you say that it is bad news, Brother Xu!"

Xu Wei glanced outside the carriage, the sound of the carriage was rolling, and he was rushing forward. He lowered the curtain and sighed softly: "Little Brother Lin is not in the court, so I don't know about these things. It has a vast territory and a large number of children and people, and it is the first of the neighboring countries. When it was strong in the past, the number of small affiliated countries exceeded a hundred, and it worshiped and paid tribute every year. What a breeze."

"Oh, is this year different?" Lin Wanrong said.

Xu Wei shook his head: "To be exact, it has not been the same since many years ago. I, Dahua, have been fighting endlessly with the Hu people all these years, and I have been in chaos with Bailian. It’s not as good as it used to be. The affiliated countries also have different people’s hearts. On the surface, they are submissive, but in the interior, there are evil intentions. The tribute is not as good as each year, and these years are even more dramatic.”

Lin Wanrong nodded, this is natural, between countries, there are no friends, only interests. Dahua is weakened now, and it is strange that there are still people who come to care for you.

"This, Mr. Xu, I don't know anything about state affairs. If you tell me, it's playing the piano to a cow." Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Tell me quickly, how does this have anything to do with me, someone named Lin?"

Xu Wei said: "Is it related to you, you will know after listening to me. In the past few years, various countries have paid tribute, and they have come sooner or later. Although the tribute is not huge, it is also said in the past, but this year, it is very different. Strange! Dongying, Goryeo and other genus, as if they had made an appointment, came back and forth, only a few days apart."

"Isn't it okay for everyone to come together for New Year's greetings? It saved a few meals!" Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "My Dahua is like the leading big brother of the underworld, and the rest are the little brothers who hang out with us. The little brother comes to see the big brother, That's what I said in the past."

Seeing his expression, Xu Wei didn't know what he was thinking, so he just smiled dryly and said, "Little Brother Lin's analogy is quite novel. If it's just everyone coming together, then it's fine. But it's strange that this year, they have It seems that they have made an appointment. The tribute has been reduced by more than half compared to previous years. Not only that, but the Hu people also sent envoys, and they came at this time. The capital is now full of forces from various countries, Brother Lin, you said Is there no connection here?"

Hu people are also here? It's really not that simple. Lin Wanrong frowned. He knew better than anyone what kind of things Gaoli and Dongying were. They were typical masters who bullied the soft and feared the hard. The other subordinates were the same thing. Everyone came here with the Hu people so coincidentally. Damn, could it be that they really hugged the Hu people's thighs?

He has ideas in his heart, but nothing shows on his face. This Xu Wei is also an old fox. Telling these things to himself is definitely not without ideas. He won't let me deal with them, right?

"Oh, they came to our capital for a meeting together. This is also very good. Let's sit down and drink tea and chat to enhance our friendship." Lin Wanrong pretended to be confused: "However, this seems to have nothing to do with me! "

Xu Wei was not annoyed, he smiled slightly and said, "If we just pay tribute together, it will be fine if we reduce the age and pay it back, but there are things that are even more annoying. These small affiliated countries don't know where they heard of my little princess' return. The news that they toad wanted to eat swan meat, they even proposed--"

"What?" Lin Wanrong said angrily.

"This Dongying, Gaoli, actually proposed to the emperor at the same time, asking me to marry the little princess that Emperor Dahua loves the most to his prince—"

Pa Da, the teapot was smashed by Lin San, Lin Wanrong squeezed his fists and said: "Damn little devil, little stick, dare to hit my wife's idea, I killed him."

Xu Wei sighed and said: "Not only that, the Hu people are even more arrogant, and put forward the conditions for a truce, in addition to asking me Dahua to relinquish the land and indemnity, but also humiliate the little princess and ask her to travel thousands of miles to serve that Hu Khan. Concubine, Brother Lin, this is bullying me, Dahua—" Xu Wei secretly looked at Lin San's face while fanning the flames. Seeing his teeth clenched and his face like black charcoal, he was suddenly relieved.

Mother, Lin Wanrong clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Xu, you don't have to deliberately stimulate me. Don't worry, I won't let anything Lin San do, who dares to hit my wife. I don't even know how to let him die?"

Xu Wei spent a long time talking, waiting for this sentence, he was overjoyed when he heard the words, he grabbed Lin Wanrong's hand and said: "Brother Lin, the old man did not come in vain today. Now the emperor is in the palace to accept the pilgrimage of the envoys of various countries, we will Hurry up, handlebar style, hurry up and enter the palace faster."
