Damn, Xiao Yuruo, that little girl, why did she say this? Isn't she destroying the relationship between me and Qiaoqiao? I was wondering why she suddenly changed her temperament and became friends with Qiaoqiao, but it turned out that she had other plans. Wasn't it just a little joke? This little girl is too narrow-minded.
Speaking of Xiao Qingxuan's matter, Lin Wanrong felt that he also had some responsibility. After Qiaoqiao fell ill that day, he didn't have time to tell Qiaoqiao about Qing Xuan's matter. He didn't expect that today, Xiao Yuruo would be the first to explode.
Seeing that Qiaoqiao's tears were falling more and more, Lin Wanrong felt distressed. He hugged her and said, "Silly girl, it's not that big brother doesn't want to tell you, but there are too many things in between, it's not enough to tell you in a few days. Grand Mistress is right, Qing Xuan is my wife, but didn't you enter the sect earlier? "
Qiaoqiao raised her head and said blankly, "When did I enter the sect?"
Lin Wanrong pointed at his heart and said, "You entered the sect earlier."
Qiaoqiao was happy and sad at the same time, but she couldn't avoid his sweet words, her face faintly blushed.
Lin Wanrong continued, "Qiaoqiao, did you forget that day in the restaurant, I pointed to the heavens and made an oath, if I betrayed you, I will —"
Qiaoqiao covered his mouth and said with tears, "Big brother, don't say it, Qiaoqiao knows her mistake."
"Qiaoqiao, you and Qing Xuan are the most important people to me in this world. That day, I swore an oath to treat you as my wife. What happened between me and Qing Xuan happened after that. Speaking of which, she still has to call you sister. "Lin Wanrong held Qiaoqiao's hand and said.
Qiaoqiao blushed and said softly, "Sister Qing Xuan is older than me. She should be my sister."
"Haha, it's all the same, it's all the same." Lin Wanrong was very proud of himself. He was wondering if he should strike while the iron was hot. He told Qiaoqiao about Yushuang, but Qiaoqiao said, "Brother, I heard that you and the second daughter of the Xiao Family also —"
Damn, did Xiao Yuruo say this too? Was that girl crazy? Didn't she always strongly oppose the second daughter and me being together? What did she mean by saying this to Qiaoqiao?
Lin Wanrong was confused by Xiao Yuruo. One moment she said he couldn't touch her sister, and the next moment she told Qiaoqiao personally. What kind of trick was this girl playing? Whatever, it's rare to have such an opportunity. I'd better tell her about Yushuang. I should communicate more with Qiaoqiao.
He told her about his experience with Qing Xuan and Yushuang. Qiaoqiao sighed and said faintly, "Brother, sister Qing Xuan is very capable and has deep feelings for you. Second Miss even gave up her life for you. You can't let them down."
Lin Wanrong nodded. Qiaoqiao's face was covered with tears, and she said softly, "Sister Qingxuan and Second Miss are both from wealthy families, noble birth, and capable. Qiaoqiao's life is meager, how can I be compared to them? Brother, Qiaoqiao will be a maid by your side and serve you for the rest of her life. I will be satisfied. "
Hearing this, Lin Wanrong felt distressed and angry at the same time. Xiao Yuruo that girl, why did she have to talk about this with Qiaoqiao? She was really the cause of his death.
Lin Wanrong hurriedly hugged the little girl and said, "Qiaoqiao, don't you know your brother's character? What wealth and status? It's all nonsense. I don't have anything of my own. What I like is you, little girl, not your status. Why do you care about that? How about this, in the future, when Qing Xuan and Yushuang marry into the family, you will be in charge of them. "
Qiaoqiao was shy and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, Brother, I can't do it. It's better to let them be in charge of me. I will definitely listen to the two sisters."
Lin Wanrong laughed in his heart. He knew the little girl would say that. He really loved this girl.
"Don't worry. You are my little baby. No one can control you except me." Lin Wanrong whispered in Qiaoqiao's ear. With this sentence, the little girl surrendered obediently and happily snuggled in his brother's arms.
After leaving Qiaoqiao in the restaurant, Lin Wanrong let out a long breath. It was really not easy to coax this little girl to be obedient. It was even more exhausting than fighting with the bandits of the White Lotus Sect.
The carriage continued to drive north along the road. After driving for half an hour, they still hadn't reached the end.
Without Qiaoqiao's company, Lin Wanrong naturally lost a lot of patience. He asked the man driving the carriage, "Brother, what is your name?" The man was an expert who protected Luoyuan last night. Since Lomin could let him take care of Luoyuan alone, it meant that this person's skills were not simple.
"Young Master Lin, my name is Gao Shou." The man replied.
Expert? F * ck, there's someone more shameless than me. He actually called himself an expert? It's really rare.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Brother, I know you are an expert. I'm asking for your name so that it'll be convenient for me to address you in the future."
The man smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, I'm not lying. My surname is Gao, and my name is Shou. My name is given to me by my parents. I can't change it. Young Master, please don't laugh at me. "
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "This is interesting. Brother Gao Shou, you are indeed an expert. However, your parents are experts among experts. "
Wasn't that right? To give his son such a name, he was born to take advantage of others. His father should be called Gao Shou.
Gao Shou smiled and said, "I've lived for more than thirty years, but I've also been an expert for more than thirty years. Even if I lose my life tomorrow, it'll be worth it."
The conversation made the two of them laugh. Lin Wanrong had a good impression of this forthright Gao Shou who was also an expert. He got out of the carriage and squeezed in front of him. He sat on the shaft and said, "Brother Gao, it's boring for me to be alone in the carriage. Let me come and talk to you."
Gao Shou saw that he was a forthright person. Although he was just a small servant, he was quite to his liking. He laughed and said, "As long as Young Master Lin doesn't mind me being a boor, I'll naturally welcome you."
Lin Wanrong saw that the carriage was going straight and asked, "Brother Gao. Where are we going? "
Gao Shou said, "Master Luo asked me to invite Young Master to the North Gate."
"North Gate? Why does Master Luo want me to go there? "Lin Wanrong asked curiously. That place wasn't near, why would he go there?
"I don't know about that. Young Master should ask Master Luo yourself later." Gao Shou smiled.
Lin Wanrong knew that Gao Shou wouldn't tell him, or maybe he didn't even know the reason, so he didn't ask.
He saw that Gao Shou was very skilled at driving the carriage. Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Brother Gao, you're not only skilled in martial arts, but your horsemanship is also quite good. If I'm not wrong, you're definitely not a native of Jinling. "
This was pure nonsense. Listening to Gao Shou's authentic northern accent. Even a deaf person knew that he was a northerner.
Gao Shou nodded and said, "I won't hide it from Young Master. My ancestral home is Cangzhou, Hebei."
"Cangzhou? That's a good place, the home of martial arts. No wonder Brother Gao is so good at martial arts. "Lin Wanrong's bootlicking was very secretive. Gao Shou was very pleased to hear it. Cangzhou was indeed a famous home of martial arts in his previous life. He just didn't know if there were any changes in this world.
Gao Shou happily said, "Young Master Lin also knows of Cangzhou?"
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Such a famous place, of course I've heard of it. The people of the north are fierce and brave, and they value martial arts and horsemanship. I saw that Brother Gao is not only skilled in martial arts, but is also proficient in horsemanship. He's actually much stronger than the elite cavalry of the Jiangsu Army Commander's infantry and cavalry battalion. I know that Brother Gao is definitely a northerner. "
Gao Shou disdainfully laughed and said, "Jiangsu Army Cavalry Battalion? How can those soft-footed crabs be compared to our northern men? The Jiangsu Army Commander Cheng De is an out-and-out idiot. If it wasn't for the support of someone in the court, I'm afraid he would have been deposed a long time ago. "
Lin Wanrong never lost money when doing things. After chatting with Gao Shou for half a day and flattering him, if he didn't get some valuable information in return, then it would be a loss.
Hearing Gao Shou's words, Lin Wanrong chuckled and didn't ask too much. He pretended to be curious and asked, "Brother Gao, why is that? I saw that the swords and spears of the Jiangsu Army Cavalry Battalion are bright and awe-inspiring. Their presence is also very spectacular. "
"Young Master Lin, the layman watches the excitement, the expert sees the artistry. That idiot Cheng De, relying on Cheng Wangye's support, acts like a tyrant in Jiangnan. The three battalions under his command are famous for being like mud that can't be pasted on a wall. All the nobles, ministers and palace servants in the capital know this. It's not that I'm looking down on the Jiangnan soldiers. In terms of poetry, we can't compare to the Jiangnan scholars. But in terms of killing the enemy, the Jiangnan infantry and cavalry battalions can only scare the little thieves. If they really went to the north to defend against those fierce Hu people, I'm afraid they would collapse in just a moment. There's a saying between us brothers: it's better to be a wandering ghost in the north than a scholar soldier in Jiangnan. That's the logic. "
Cheng Wangye? This was the person supporting Cheng De from behind? He had heard Luoyuan mention the name of Cheng Wangye before. It was said that he and the current Emperor of China had some squabbles in the past because of the matter of the throne. He hadn't thought that the person behind Cheng De was him.
F * ck, Lo, you old fox, the person supporting him is the most powerful Wangye in China. Who do you have backing you? Don't harm me.
This Gao Shou was called an "expert", but in front of Lin Wanrong, he was a big weakling. Unknowingly, he had been exposed to him, but he still thought of him as a close friend. Lin Wanrong thought, picking up girls and making friends, there aren't many people in the world that can compare to me.
Although Lin Wanrong didn't agree with the Gao Shou's viewpoint that was biased by region, he had to admit that what he said was reasonable. It was tradition for the south to be civil and the north to be military. The soldiers of Jiangnan were indeed weaker than the soldiers of the north. It was no wonder that when he first saw Qing Xuan, she would sigh with emotion.
Lin Wanrong smiled. "Regardless of age, regardless of north or south, we are all Chinese. Fighting against the barbarians is the responsibility of the entire nation, so how can there be a distinction between north and south?"
The Gao Shou laughed. "Young Master Lin, you are absolutely right. I really admire you. You live in Jinling, but you are completely different from the scholars of Jiangnan. You are forthright and capable, no wonder Official Luo values you so much. "
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said in a seemingly casual manner, "Then you can treat me as a northerner. That's right, Brother Gao, when you were working in the capital, were there more northerners or southerners among your colleagues? "
"When I was in the palace, it was the northerners who had the absolute advantage. Most of the guards in the palace were — — "As he said this, he was suddenly startled." Young Master Lin, you — — "
In the end, he wasn't too stupid. This Young Master Lin had been beating around the bush for a long time, trying to get information out of him. He smiled bitterly. "Young Master Lin, I am a northerner. I have some confidence in fighting and killing, but when it comes to scheming, I am far behind you."
Lin Wanrong didn't mind his sarcasm at all. He laughed and patted his shoulder. "Don't take it to heart, Brother Gao. Actually, I already knew that you were the emperor's bodyguard. Between Official Luo and I, what words can't be said? Don't you think so? "
This was pure blackmail. Lin Wanrong's words were full of hidden traps. He had secretly set up a trap for Lomin. The Gao Shou had fallen into this trap countless times, but he didn't know it. If Lomin was here and he heard Lin Wanrong's words, he would definitely jump up and scold him, you little fox.
Seeing Lin Wanrong say this, he thought that Lomin had already told him. The Gao Shou immediately admitted, "Young Master Lin is indeed amazing. In the past, I was one of the emperor's bodyguards. Later, when Official Luo came to Jinling, the emperor sent us to follow."
Lin Wanrong let out a long breath. It seemed that what Luoyuan said today was true. This old man Lomin was indeed deeply favored by the emperor. But even if you are a powerful official, you are still lacking if you want to fight with that Imperial Prince Cheng. Lo, you have to stand strong.
At that moment, Lin Wanrong didn't try to scheme anymore. He openly talked with the Gao Shou. The two of them had a wide circle of friends and were very knowledgeable. Lin Wanrong bragged about the people, geography, mountains, and rivers. The Gao Shou admired him even more. This Young Master Lin not only knew how to cheat, but he also had some experience. He was really worth befriending.
The carriage had traveled a long distance, but Lin Wanrong didn't come for nothing. He had a better understanding of Lomin and Cheng De's background. He had gained a lot.
He was still deep in thought when he heard the Gao Shou call out, "Young Master Lin, we are here."
Lin Wanrong hurriedly raised her head, but before she could take a good look, she heard a clear and melodious voice, "Brother Lin, you're here!"
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a beautiful woman standing not far away. She was dressed in a light yellow robe and had a slender figure. She was slender and elegant, like an otherworldly fairy. She had a smile on her face and was quietly looking at him. Her appearance was very familiar. It was Jinling's most talented woman, Luo Ning.
