Lomin is looking for me? This old man always appears and disappears unpredictably. When I want to see him, I can't find him, but when he wants to see me, he immediately appears. It's really freaking strange.
Second Miss had just met him and was chatting happily with him. Seeing that he was about to leave, she hurriedly pulled on his sleeve, feeling a little reluctant to part with him. After dismissing the four Virtues, Lin Wanrong smiled beside Yushuang's ear and said, "Don't panic, wait for me to finish my discussion, then we'll continue."
"Who's going to continue with you?" Second Miss blushed and said, "I only wanted to talk to you, but you're already thinking of doing bad things. No wonder Big Sister said you're the worst person, she's really right, hehe."
After exchanging a few words with the lively and adorable Yushuang, Lin Wanrong felt much better. When he reached the main hall, he saw Gao Qiu's brother, Gao Shou.
Lin Wanrong cupped his fists and said, "Big Brother Gao, long time no see, what wind blew you here today?"
Gao Shou cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Young Master Lin is too polite. This subordinate was sent by Master to invite Young Master over to discuss business. "
Lo wants to discuss business with me? Damn, I was just about to look for him. Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "If you want me to discuss business, just send any bailiff over, why would I need to trouble Big Brother Gao?" Gao Qiu and Gao Shou were once the emperor's personal bodyguards, their status was naturally incomparable to the bailiff.
Gao Shou smiled and didn't say anything. When they left the door, Gao Shou had already prepared a horse. The two of them got on the horse and galloped straight out of the city.
Lin Wanrong asked curiously, "Big Brother Gao, isn't Master in the residence? Why are we heading out of the city? "
Gao Shou said, "Master is busy with work, he hasn't been in the residence for a few days already."
Lin Wanrong nodded his head, "Then does Master know that Miss Lo is sick?"
Gao Shou was shocked and said, "Sick? How could Grand Mistress be sick? Where did Young Master hear about it? Your Excellency doesn't know yet. "
Lin Wanrong sighed. This Lo is really a workaholic. He doesn't even know that his children are sick. Luoyuan and Luo Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry at having such a father.
They walked a long way out of the city. If it weren't for Lo's trusted aide, Lin Wanrong would have thought that someone was going to drag him to a remote area to silence him. After walking for more than an hour, they finally reached the foot of a mountain. The mountain was very high and the terrain was very steep. It was not easy to climb. On the mountain, the pines and cypresses were lush and verdant, and birds and beasts were chirping in unison. The stream gurgled, and it did not look like winter was approaching.
The place that Lo had found was not bad. The scenery was picturesque, and it was suitable for burying the bones of loyal soldiers. He chuckled and said, "Brother Gao, what is the Lord doing here? Is he going to learn from the hermit Taoyuan Weng, fishing and plowing the fields? "
Gao Shou laughed and said, "Young Master's words are interesting. If he could really live in seclusion here, it would be a happy thing. I'm afraid that the Lord doesn't have the skills to do so."
Lin Wanrong's heart shivered. According to Gao Shou, if Lo wasn't living in seclusion here, then he must be hiding from the eyes and ears of others. Could it be that he was going to do something big? Thinking of doing something big, he was delighted. What else could Lomin's big thing be? It was nothing more than getting rid of Cheng De and destroying the White Lotus.
Gao Shou brought Lin Wanrong up the steep cliff. Fortunately, Lin Wanrong had martial arts, so it didn't take too much effort. When they reached the top of the hill, there were many figures everywhere. They were all burly men dressed in martial arts attire. There were probably more than a hundred of them. All of them had bright eyes, and with one look, one could tell that their martial arts were not ordinary.
They were patrolling the important junctions. When they saw Gao Shou return, they all nodded at him, but didn't say anything. Lin Wanrong looked at the aura of these people and probed, "Brother Gao, these brothers are like you, with an extraordinary aura and dignified appearance. Could it be that they are also martial arts masters from the palace?"
This hidden bootlicker Gao Shou was very pleasing to the ear. He laughed and said, "Young Master has good eyesight. Since Young Master can see it, I won't hide it. These are all my former subordinates from the palace. This time, they came to Jinling with an important person. "
Important person? Imperial bodyguards? Could it be that the Emperor has come? Lin Wanrong jumped in fright. He immediately denied it himself. If the Emperor really came, how could there be no movement at all? It was even more impossible for him to live on a hill that was hard to shelter from the wind and rain. Gao Shou was probably talking about Xu Wei. Xu Wei was the most important official in the court. This time, he came to Jiangnan to do such an important thing. The issue of safety was naturally the most important. Lomin must have been discussing matters with Xu Wei here for the next few days.
Lin Wanrong followed Gao Shou down the hill. In front of him were several neat little houses. Lomin walked out of the house with her big belly. She laughed and said, "Young Master Lin, forgive me for not coming out to greet you. This place is simple and crude, and I've troubled Young Master Lin to come such a long way. I hope Young Master Lin won't take offense. "
Damn, this old man spoke in a bureaucratic manner. He was really hypocritical. Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "Not at all. Official Luo lives in a humble house and worries about the world. You really are a role model for us juniors."
The two of them looked at each other with disdain. Lomin welcomed Lin Wanrong into the house. The furnishings in the house were simple. There were only a few tables and chairs. Lin Wanrong asked curiously, "Has Official been living here for the next few days? It really is very simple. "
Lomin sighed and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. For the imperial court, I naturally have to rack my brains. Even if I die, I won't be able to rest. There are too many things that His Majesty has told me to do. If I'm not careful, I'm afraid I'll make a mistake. I can only find a place with fewer people to disturb me. This place is picturesque. It's suitable to bury my old bones. "
This old man was really good at bragging about his loyalty. Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "I wonder why Official Luo called me here?"
Lomin said, "I don't dare to say that. I just want to invite Young Master here to discuss some matters." He smiled mysteriously and said, "A few days ago, I met with an old friend. When we talked about Young Master Lin, my old friend was full of praise for Young Master Lin. He said that you have a delicate bone structure and extraordinary knowledge. In the future, you will definitely be a dragon among men. He told this old man to make friends with you. Does Young Master Lin know who he is? "
"Oh? Is there really such a thing? But I don't know which expert thinks so highly of me. I'm ashamed. "Lin Wanrong also pretended to be confused.
Lomin smiled slightly. "Young Master Lin, there's no need for us to speak in riddles. These few days, Sir Xu Wei and I have been living in seclusion here to discuss some important matters. Would Young Master Lin be interested in listening?"
"So it's Sir Xu. My apologies." Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "What important matter does Sir want to discuss with me? I'm just a small character. If I hear about this important matter, will Sir kill me? Hehe, it's better not to listen. "
"Young Master Lin is joking." Lomin smiled and said, "You're a person blessed by many nobles. Who would dare to go against you?"
He smiled and pulled open a curtain on the wall. What entered Lin Wanrong's eyes was a military map.
This map was simple and crude, but the mountains and rivers were clearly marked. The distance of the route was also explained in detail. Lin Wanrong was stunned. This Luo and Old Xu were actually studying a military map for the past two days? The two of them were civil officials, not generals. How could they understand this thing?
Lomin seemed to see through his thoughts. He smiled and said, "Mister Wen Zhang is well-versed in both literature and martial arts. This map was drawn by him personally. These few days, he gathered several generals to look at this map and find a good strategy to destroy the enemy. I'm here to accompany him. "
This confirmed Lin Wanrong's guess. Xu Wei and Old Man Luo were really discussing this matter these few days.
Lomin sighed and said, "Young Master Lin, you're not an outsider. Before Mister Wen Zhang left today, he said that there's no need to hide anything from you. This old man will tell you the truth. The White Lotus Bandits are becoming more and more rampant. They're a huge threat to China and have reached a point where they have to be eliminated. I believe that Young Master Lin must be clear that the reason why the White Lotus Sect can't stop despite being banned is because there's a big shot behind them. Moreover, this big shot's background isn't simple. Other than the White Lotus Sect, as far as we know, he's also related to the Hu people in the north. "
"Hu people?" Lin Wanrong was shocked. F * ck, this is getting bigger and bigger. It's fine if you're causing internal trouble, but if you're colluding with external enemies, then you deserve to die.
Lomin nodded solemnly and said, "That's right. The Hu people will make a comeback next spring. At that time, the White Lotus Sect will cause trouble from within. Under a pincer attack from both sides, not to mention our China's state, even our China's people will be in danger. This person's schemes are deep and vicious. For his own personal gain, not only did he bring disaster to the court, he didn't hesitate to invite the wolf into the house and disregard our China's people. With such wild ambitions, our China's people will definitely punish him on sight. "
Lin Wanrong didn't say anything. This kind of thing was written in the history books many times, so he didn't find it strange.
"This White Lotus disaster must be eradicated — —" Lomin waved her hand heavily and said, "Just this winter, within these few days, Shandong and Zhejiang's infantry and cavalry battalions will unite and move, with Lord Xu as the leader. We must annihilate this White Lotus in one fell swoop. Only by eliminating internal trouble can we resist this foreign invasion. "
Lomin even revealed the time and map to Lin Wanrong. It was obvious that she really didn't treat him as an outsider. Lin Wanrong laughed mischievously and said, "Lord Luo, I don't doubt your and Lord Xu's determination at all. However, there's something I want to ask. Why didn't you move the soldiers from Jiangsu, and instead moved them to Zhejiang? This one is really puzzled."
Lomin smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Lin, don't laugh at this old man's joke. Why didn't you move the soldiers from Jiangsu? You still don't know? That Cheng De has committed many crimes, but we can't topple him. Speaking of it, it's also this old man's incompetence. I can't carry out orders, and I can't move the soldiers. This old man is really ashamed to face His Majesty and the elders of Jiangsu. "
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Lord Luo is too modest. From what I see, toppling Cheng De isn't a difficult matter. There's a great opportunity right now. "
Lomin hurriedly said, "Young Master, please speak quickly."
Lin Wanrong said, "Lord Luo, you've fought with Cheng De for many years. Do you have any evidence of his corruption?"
Lomin said, "Of course I do. If it wasn't for the people in court supporting him, I would have toppled him long ago."
Lin Wanrong laughed mischievously. A cold light flashed in his eyes, "It doesn't matter if you can't topple him. Just chop him down."
