"Big Brother, Big Brother — —" Qiaoqiao hurriedly walked out from behind the curtain and called out delicately. But Lin Wanrong was in a hurry and had already brought Guo Wuchang out of the cabin door and did not even hear her call.
"Sister Ning, what should we do? I don't know what urgent matter Big Brother encountered, but he left in a hurry. He still hasn't explained the situation here. "Qiao Qiao walked back into the room and secretly glanced at Luo Ning.
Luo Ning seemed to not hear her words, her expression was blank and her face was pale, no one knew what she was thinking. The maid hurriedly walked back and handed the scroll that Lin Wanrong wrote before he left to Luo Ning and said, "Miss, this is left by Young Master Lin."
Luo Ning hurriedly took the scroll and looked at it. She saw that the handwriting was like dancing dragons and phoenixes, strong and vigorous, a small poem had just finished writing two sentences, "Hibiscus made a heavy brocade tent, wings and cries in the jade dew — —"
Luo Ning clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes turned red, she picked up the small regular script and added two sentences after the two sentences, "— — Spring at the Jade Lake is like the sea, the moon flies down like a pair of swan birds."
This poem of hibiscus tent, mandarin duck handkerchief could be considered to be completed. Luo Ning threw away the small regular script and looked at the poem, she suddenly leaned on the table and burst into tears … …
Everyone in the main hall saw that Miss Luo brought out two items and could tell that Miss Luo had a special liking for Lin San and was thinking of putting on a good show. Who knew that Lin San, who had just won the championship, actually abandoned Miss Luo and left in a hurry, it was really surprising. For a moment, everyone was discussing and did not know what had happened.
Luo Min stood up, laughed, and said, "You don't have to be surprised. I believe everyone has seen my daughter's attitude towards Young Master Lin. Young Master Lin had an urgent matter to settle at home, that's why he left in such a hurry, it is understandable. In the future, this old man will definitely report the results of this matter to the elders of my hometown. Now that the poetry competition is over and the lanterns are lit, today we will drink wine on the Qinhuai River and won't go home until we are drunk. Young Prince, Lord Cheng, everyone, please give this old man some face. "
Seeing that the Governor had personally come out to explain, everyone felt that it was indeed the case. Thus, they let go of their worries. After all, they had already watched the show for the day, and all that was left was to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Qin Tan. In an instant, the atmosphere in the cabin became lively again. Zhao Kangning and Cheng De exchanged glances. The two of them also sat down.
Lin Wanrong hurriedly walked out of the cabin. The Young Cousin followed behind him and said anxiously, "Lin San, Aunt and Cousin Xiao Yuruo are in trouble. What should we do?"
Lin Wanrong said, "Young Master, don't be hasty. Tell me the details first."
The Young Cousin nodded and said, "For today's poetry competition, Lord Luo and the prefectural magistrate specially sent out invitations. All the prestigious families in Jinling received invitations, and our Xiao Family was no exception. Because I had some competitions to attend, I left early. His aunt and cousin said that they would arrive later in the evening. But after waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of them. I was puzzled in my heart, but just now, a servant came to report that someone found the carriage that Cousin and Aunt were riding in, but the two of them were nowhere to be seen. From the looks of it, I'm afraid that they were kidnapped. Lin San, what should we do? You must think of a way to save Cousin and Aunt. "
Lin Wanrong heard this and his heart was filled with anger. Damn, what is this? I was not home for a few days, and these two people were kidnapped. Not only did they kidnap the Grand Mistress, but they also kidnapped Madam. With these two people gone, the Xiao Family would fall apart. Why did this person have a grudge against the Xiao Family?
"When the Grand Mistress and Madam went out, didn't they bring a servant with them?" Lin Wanrong asked.
"They brought Xiao Feng and Xiao Cui, but these two were knocked unconscious. When they woke up, they couldn't remember anything. Lin San, who do you think has a grudge against us? How could they be so vicious? "
Knocked unconscious? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment. If someone was seeking revenge, such as the White Lotus Sect, they would definitely kill anyone they see and leave no one alive. But this person knocked Xiao Feng and Xiao Cui unconscious. What was his intention? He originally thought that it was Zhao Kangning and Cheng De's doing, but with Xu Wei's character, he must have calculated everything. Cheng De and the others must have been secretly monitored by Xu Wei, so he wouldn't give them such a chance. In this way, where did the thief do evil?
The two talked for a while at the bow of the boat. This pleasure boat was originally in the Qinhuai River, and the surrounding boats had already gone far away. After waiting for a long time, they didn't even see a boat ferrying them.
Lin Wanrong thought of the encounter with Du Xiuyuan and Hu Buhui during the day, and suddenly realized that Xu Wei and Lomin, the two old foxes, were going to make a move on Cheng De tonight. The surface of the Qinhuai River had probably been blocked long ago.
Thinking of this, he became more and more anxious. Damn it, if we can't get out of the Qinhuai River, where can we find the Grand Mistress and Xiao Cui? The two weak girls were as beautiful as flowers. If they fell into the hands of the thief and he couldn't find them after tonight, then everything would be over. Xiao Yuruo, this little girl, why did she throw a tantrum for no reason? When I see her again, I'll definitely give her a good spanking and teach her a lesson.
"Boat, boat, Lin San, there's a boat coming." The Young Cousin suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted.
Lin Wanrong hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger. It was already early evening, and the surface of the water was misty. In the distance, a small wooden boat was rowing towards her. Two people on the boat were waving at her.
"Big brother Hu, big brother Du — —" Lin Wanrong shouted happily as soon as he saw the two figures.
Hu Buhui and Du Xiuyuan sped up and soon arrived at the foot of the pleasure boat. Without waiting for the wooden boat to stop, Lin Wanrong jumped down and landed in the middle of the boat. Hu Buhui and Du Xiuyuan each held onto one of his arms, shouting, "General Lin, we missed you so much."
Lin Wanrong said excitedly, "Big brothers, I also missed you. How are the brothers, how are they? "
Hu Bugui laughed heartily. "They're doing very well. They're all hiding around here, preparing to do something big tonight."
As expected, Lin Wanrong nodded inwardly. Now that he was no longer in the army, Hu Buhui even told him such a secret, the friendship and trust between life and death was not something that others could compare to.
Du Xiuyuan said with tears in his eyes, "General Lin, that day Tong Cheng that bastard fired cannons behind us, the brothers all thought it was you — — Later, tens of thousands of my brothers from the right army went to fight with Tong Cheng. If not for Commander Xu stopping us, we would have killed that Tong Cheng and fed him to the tortoises."
Hu Buhui said, "So what if we didn't kill him? I sent Xu Zhen to lie in ambush on the road, and one arrow pierced through his head. That bastard got off lightly. "
Lin Wanrong hugged the arms of the two, saying gratefully, "Thank you two big brothers, I can't thank you enough."
"General Lin, how did you escape from the ten thousand cannons that day? We saw the fierceness of the cannons, we all thought you — — "Du Xiuyuan sighed.
"Sigh — —" Hu Buhui interrupted him, "General Lin is blessed, you won't be so easily harmed by scoundrels, I knew it long ago. How about it, I'm not bragging right? "
Lin Wanrong sighed, "The experience is complicated, it's hard to explain in a few words, I'll tell you two big brothers in the future."
Hu Buhui nodded, "That's right, the days are long. General Lin, Commander Xu and the brothers are waiting for you, let's go see him. "
Lin Wanrong nodded, taking Guo Wuchang onto the boat, while Hu Buhui rowed the oars and the boat moved straight forward. When they reached the shore, they saw that the shore was brightly lit, swords and spears were shining, it was Xu Wei who had personally led thousands of troops to welcome them.
"Brother Lin, I finally see you again!" Before they had reached the shore, Xu Wei's voice came from afar. This was the Young Cousin's first time seeing Xu Wenzhang, the role model of the world's scholars. His hands were trembling, his legs were trembling.
Lin Wanrong cupped his fists, "I've made Mister Xu worry."
The boat had already reached the shore, several people jumped off the boat, Xu Wei pulled Lin Wanrong's hand, "It's not that I'm worried, this old man is sincerely thanking Brother Lin. In the battle of the White Lotus Sect, Brother Lin has contributed greatly, this is known to everyone, the few thousand households that you have promoted are also loyal and capable generals, you have contributed greatly, how can this old man not thank you? "
Lin Wanrong laughed, this old man's evaluation of me is quite high, but what's the use of just saying a few nice words, it would be more practical to give him some silver as a reward.
Xu Wei looked him up and down, after a long time he said, "Brother Lin, that day when the ten thousand cannons were fired, you didn't suffer any injuries, right? If because of this old man's mistake, little brother has suffered any injuries, this old man will not be able to rest for the rest of his life. "
"This, I also didn't suffer any injuries, it's just that I was dizzy from the cannons, couldn't sleep at night, had nightmares, and sometimes vomited blood, the rest can be considered normal. The doctor said that if I use a lot of good tonics, I should be fine after thirty years of recuperation. "
Xu Wei listened to his nonsense, not minding it, and said with a smile, "Brother Lin, for the sake of our China, you spared no effort, did not hesitate to put yourself in danger, fought the enemy leader, the White Lotus Holy Mother, and killed her in the cannon fire. This kind of spirit, this kind of spirit, is truly a model for the soldiers of our three armies. This old man will definitely report this to the Emperor and heavily reward you. "
This old man was deliberately making sarcastic remarks, even if Lin Wanrong's skin was extremely thick, he still couldn't help but feel a bit hot. But since Xu Wei pretended not to know the truth, he was happy to be confused, laughed dryly, and said, "Xu daren, are you prepared to act today?"
"That's right. I have been in Jiangnan for some time, there are a lot of matters to take care of in the capital. This Jiangsu matter is the last battle of my trip to Jiangnan. After it is finished, I will return to the capital to report to the Emperor. " Xu Wei glanced at Lin Wanrong. "Brother Lin, tonight's matter, if it were you, how would you handle it?"
Damn, you are an expert in playing politics, and you still ask me, aren't you deliberately making fun of me? Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "This kind of matter, little brother is not good at, it should be Mr. Xu's expertise. It's nothing more than clear evidence of a crime and being ruthless, that's all. Mr. Xu must have already arranged it, why would I need to be on the side pointing fingers and gesticulating? "
Xu Wei nodded and sighed, "Little brother is a naturally intelligent person. Clear evidence of a crime and being ruthless is the key to internal strife in the officialdom. Many people have been muddling along for a lifetime and still haven't learned the essentials. Little brother only needs to say one sentence, if you want to be an official, I am afraid no one in the world is your match. "
Disinclined to listen to his bluff, Lin Wanrong said, "Tonight's matter, little brother will wait for Mr. Xu's good news. Oh, one more thing, since Mr. Xu wants to make a move, you must have already started monitoring Cheng De and the others. I don't know if there was anything unusual with them today, did they kidnap anyone? "
Xu Wei slowly shook his head. "I was indeed secretly monitoring Cheng De and his subordinates, but I didn't see any unusual movements from him today. What's wrong? Why does little brother Lin ask this? "
Lin Wanrong told Xu Wei about the matter of Lady Xiao and Grand Mistress being kidnapped. Xu Wei was shocked and said, "Such a thing actually happened, who is so audacious? They even dared to kidnap Miss Guo? Aren't they afraid of having their entire family executed? "
Kidnapping Lady Xiao and having her entire family executed? You must be joking! Lin Wanrong shook his head and counted with his fingers. There were only two groups of people who had enmity with the Xiao Family. One was Young Prince Ning and the others who had repeatedly tried to coerce them. The other group was the White Lotus Sect. Under Xu Wei's eyes, Zhao Kangning, Cheng De and the others naturally could not play any tricks. As for the other group, the White Lotus Sect had long been annihilated, leaving behind only two lively 'remnants'.
Remnants? Lin Wanrong was taken aback for a moment, then immediately thought of the various incidents of Grand Mistress and her daughter. He suddenly understood something and loudly said, "Mr. Xu, please prepare a fast horse for me — —"
Xu Wei saw his anxious expression and did not dare to be negligent. He hastily ordered, "Prepare a fast horse for General Lin. Hu Bugui, lead another one thousand elite cavalry and listen to General Lin's command. You must rescue Lady Xiao in one piece. "
Lin Wanrong had long been tired of listening to so many arrangements. Once the fast horse arrived, he did not even care about Guo Wuchang. He flipped over and mounted the horse. With a loud shout, he whipped the horse and like an arrow released from a bow, galloped straight towards Xuanwu Lake.
Hu Bugui led a thousand elite cavalry and followed closely behind him. The sound of horse hooves broke the silence of Jin Ling City.
When they reached Xuanwu Lake, Lin Wanrong flipped over and dismounted from the horse. The lake was covered in mist and there was no trace of the pleasure boat.
"Xian 'er, Xian' er — —" Lin Wanrong shouted to the surface of the lake.
The water birds that were resting in the bushes flapped their wings and flew up. The surface of the lake was even more empty and quiet. Xian 'er's pleasure boat was also hidden somewhere.
"General Lin — —" Hu Bugui led a thousand cavalrymen and hurriedly dismounted from the horse. He loudly said, "I will follow General's orders."
Lin Wanrong waved his hand and said, "Brother Hu Bugui, lead the brothers to row the boat to this Xuanwu Lake and find a pleasure boat. If there is anyone on the boat, tell them — —"
Before he finished, Hu Bugui pointed to the lake and said, "General, is this the boat?"
Lin Wanrong looked up and saw a huge pleasure boat slowly moving towards the lake. At the bow of the boat stood a beautiful woman, looking at the shore with a smile...
