Finest Servant

"Something happened?" Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "Did you die?!"

Xu Wei was so angry that he almost fainted, wouldn't this kid say something nice? Really dare to say anything! He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Little brother Lin, you can't talk nonsense, you will be beheaded. In short, don't ask, come with me quickly." The two of them came out, and there was a carriage outside. Waiting, Xu Wei pulled him into the car without saying a word, his expression was extremely solemn, and at a glance, he knew that something major had happened.

When something happened to the emperor, what did Lao Xu take me to do in such a hurry? Lin Wanrong asked several times, but Xu Weijie looked solemn and shook his head without answering. The carriage drove in a hurry and went out of the city. Lin Wanrong lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it. This road had been passed before, and it was going in the direction of Xiangguo Temple. Remembering what Xu Wei said this morning, the old emperor went to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense. Could it be that he was raised in Xiangguo? This old emperor can't die. He is Xian'er's father and my father-in-law. If he is going to die, King Cheng becomes the Daoist, and I will finish playing Master Lin.

I was thinking wildly, the carriage has arrived at the foot of the Xiangguo Temple. Today’s Xiangguo Temple is different from the past. There are many soldiers along the way, three steps and one post, five steps and one post. All of them are wearing helmets and armor. Chilling air. The closer to the gate of Xiangguo Temple, the more stern the guards became. The countless soldiers looked solemn and watched everyone vigilantly.

Lin Wanrong hurriedly pulled Xu Wei's sleeve: "Master Xu, what happened to the emperor, tell me quickly, alas, I think this situation is not very good!"

Xu Wei looked out and saw that he was in front of Xiangguo Temple, so he said very solemnly: "Little brother Lin, you have to promise me. What you saw today must not be leaked to the public, otherwise, not only you and I will be killed. Even I, Dahua, are afraid that I will be caught in a war!"

Leak a fart, I haven't seen anything yet, and I can't vent if I want to. Seeing Xu Wei's expression of unprecedented seriousness, and the seriousness of the situation, he had no choice but to nod: "Mr. Xu, don't you believe me, I am famous for my integrity, and what I saw today will never be the case. Speak out."

Xu Wei's face turned pale. With a haggard expression, he sighed: "Xu Xiaoxiong, the emperor has been assassinated!"

assassinated? ! Lin Wanrong grabbed Lao Xu and said, "How is this possible? The old man told me a few days ago that he is closely guarded. He told me not to worry, why was he assassinated today? Lao Xu, don't fool me."

Xu Wei smiled bitterly and said, "What time is this, how can I dare to joke with you about such a thing. This morning, the emperor burned incense in the Xiangguo Temple. He encountered a sudden attack by more than ten dead men. They were hidden in the belly of the golden Buddha, When the emperor is bowing down, take advantage of the opportunity for the guards to relax. He suddenly rushed out, and the emperor he--" Xu Wei's eyes were red, and he couldn't speak anymore.

"Your Majesty - he's dead?!!" Lin Wanrong murmured, his face full of disbelief, and his whole body became cold. The old emperor is dead? ! ! How could he just die like this? Yesterday, he was still teaching me to find me while threatening,

Why is it gone today? I haven't become a concubine justifiably yet, it's too unreasonable.

Seeing his stunned expression, Xu Wei hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't panic, little brother, the situation is unclear now. I don't know whether the emperor is alive or dead."

Lin Wanrong was shocked when he heard it, and he raised his head in a hurry: "Master Xu, are you playing with me? You asked me to come, how come you don't even know whether the emperor is alive or dead? Those assassins suddenly came out of the Buddha statue's stomach. , the old man doesn't have a few guards by his side, isn't that bad luck?"

"I don't know the specific situation. Li Tai and I are both following Eunuch Gao's orders. Li Tai mobilized his troops to block the capital, and I will call you here. All the imperial doctors in the palace have come to see Eunuch Gao The face, the emperor's situation is afraid—" Xu Wei paused for a while, and did not continue, but the meaning of the words was unmistakable.

Lin Wanrong squeezed his fist tightly, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. He has not been in contact with the old emperor for a long time. The old emperor coerced him, enticed, intimidated and deceived him, and he did not know how many methods. However, he couldn't have hatred for the old man, and even he felt strange. In the eyes of outsiders, an old emperor who is in his twilight years is weak and incompetent and has no achievements. He is far less than a suave and sincere king, but these are only superficial. When it comes to forbearance and perseverance, ten honest kings are not the old emperor. The opponent, who is the real hero, has been proved twenty years ago, but some people can't understand it.

Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart, but saw an old general with white hair walking across from him. He was wearing a sword and armor. He was very mighty and majestic. It was General Li Tai.

"Old General, how's it going?" Xu Wei hurried forward and asked anxiously.

Li Tai shook his head solemnly: "All the imperial physicians are inside, and no outsiders are allowed to enter. There has been no news, and I don't know what happened to the emperor."

Xu Wei glanced at Lin Wanrong, outsiders were not allowed to enter, what did Lin San come to do?

"Old general, how is the situation in Beijing? Have you noticed any changes?" Lin Wanrong suddenly asked, with a very solemn look on his face.

"Once the old man got the news, he immediately led the troops to block the four city gates, only allowed to enter but not to go out. At present, the news is temporarily closed, and no changes have been found in the capital. Lin San, what do you think, let's talk about it. !" Li Tai said in a deep voice. The Li family has been in the army for generations, loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and has a lofty prestige in the army. As long as Li Tai is in charge, there will be no major troubles in the capital. Lin Wanrong is quite relieved.

Lin Wanrong took two steps slowly and frowned: "Right now, the envoys of the Turks, Dongying, and Goryeo are all in the capital. There are many forces in the capital, and the emperor was suddenly assassinated. Is there any connection?"

Xu Wei and Li Tai were startled at the same time. Lin San was right. Among these three kingdoms, the Turks and Dahua are about to go to war, and Dongying has always coveted Dahua. Even the weakest Goryeo has become disobedient in recent years. Get up, if they join forces to deal with Dahua and send assassins to assassinate the emperor, it is not impossible.

"I'll send someone to keep an eye on them." Li Tai said hurriedly, and was about to turn around and leave when he heard Lin Wanrong say, "General Li, wait a moment."

Li Tai stopped and looked at him, Lin Wanrong pondered: "Whether they did it, I can't tell yet. But since these assassins dare to do it, they will not be ordinary people, brothers under the old general, fighting on the battlefield. He's a hero, but if you want to do this kind of listening, I'm afraid it's still embarrassing. In my opinion, it's better to wait for the rabbits and wait for them to reveal their faults."

"Wait for the rabbit?!" Xu Wei heard it strangely and asked, "How to wait for the rabbit?"

"Mr. Xu, think about it, you and General Li are the emperor's right-hand man. Even you don't know whether the emperor is alive or dead now. Will others know?" Lin Wanrong said in a deep voice.

"I don't know about General Li, and it's even more impossible for outsiders to know." Xu Wei nodded: "Little Brother Lin, if you have any thoughts, let's talk about it."

"You want to know the safety of the emperor, but some people will be more anxious than you. As long as the two of you block the news, drink tea and drink as usual every day, after a few days, someone will naturally reveal their faults."

Xu Wei and Li Tai glanced at each other. Lin San had a point. Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack to find an assassin, it would be better for them to show their true colors.

"Lin San, what are we going to do now?" Li Tai said: "The old man blocks the city gate. If it takes too long, I'm afraid it will cause rumors and rumors, and it will be detrimental to us."

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "General Li, if you have to believe what I say, you should remove all the sentries around the city gate. Since the thieves are here to assassinate, they are naturally fully prepared. Blocking the city gate is not only useless. , but it will cause unnecessary panic. I suggest that some troops should be reserved around the Xiangguo Temple, and the rest of the troops should be withdrawn. In addition, secretly send more capable personnel to escort around the emperor's room to ensure that nothing goes wrong. The rest, what should I do? That's all, General Li continues to train troops, Master Xu handles the affairs of the state, and the two adults go their separate ways, and treat it as if it never happened."

Xu Wei clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this is called Hard-to-Eat. Old General, what do you think?!"

Li Tai nodded: "Okay, let's do it like this. Lin San, I left tens of thousands of Erlang to be stationed in the back mountain. They are all under your command. This is a seal letter."

As Li Tai said that, he shoved a small seal into his hand. Lin Wanrong was about to resign when he saw Li Tai glaring at him: "A good man deserves to be fierce and bloody, how can you be a mother-in-law like you? "

This old man is really a tiger! Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly, took the letter in his hand, a smile appeared on Li Tai's face, strode forward, and walked away.

Xu Wei nodded and said sternly, "Little Brother Lin, the old general really values ​​you. I will fight against the Hu people in Japan. I hope you can share my worries for me."

"Don't talk about sharing your worries." Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly: "Let's see what to do with the things in front of you. The emperor's life and death are unknown. Are we going to wait here forever?"

Xu Wei shook his head, indicating that there was nothing I could do. Looking at his gray hair fluttering in the wind, Lin Wanrong couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, there were pillars like Lao Xu and Li Tai who stood up to Dahua's sky. For a lazy profiteer like me, Dahua will be miserable.

"Lord Lin, Lord Lin—" A shrill and anxious voice sounded in his ear: "Your Majesty, please come in!"
