Leaving the gates of the wang fu, he turned his head to look back and saw the three golden words "Cheng Wang Fu" shining brightly on the vermilion gate. He had no nostalgia for the Prince's Mansion, but he could not erase the memory of Sister An. Thinking of Sister An's gentle tears last night, An Biru's charming but sad eyes floated in front of his eyes. He screamed and became more and more flustered — Hmong Village, where on earth is the Hmong Village?!
Thinking about how An jiejie had fought with Cheng Wang for twenty years but was able to maintain her innocence, it was hard to find such integrity. In the past, she had the White Lotus Sect in her hands and had the capital to talk to Cheng Wang. Cheng Wang didn't dare to force her. But now that the White Lotus Sect had been destroyed by him, An Jiejie had no one to rely on and no longer had the capital to bargain with Cheng Wang. That was why Cheng Wang had used the safety of her clan to threaten her. Speaking of it, it could be said that he had implicated her. This debt was becoming more and more muddled.
When he thought of An Biru, he thought of Xian 'er. This little girl has been silent ever since she became Princess Nichang, and she doesn't even want her husband anymore? She and Sister An were master and disciple and their relationship was extremely close. Sister An would definitely bid farewell to her if she were to return to the Hmong village. She would definitely know where the Hmong village was.
Thinking of this, his heart was suddenly filled with a trace of excitement, and he broke into a run towards the palace. Cheng Wang's fu faced the imperial palace from a distance. When he reached the moat, he saw Xu Wei come out of the palace.
"Old Xu, Old Xu, is His Majesty around?" Panting, he rushed over and shouted loudly. Since the situation was urgent, he didn't want to play around and directly called him Old Xu. It was more intimate!
"Oh, it's little brother Lin," Xu Wei said with a smile. "What are you doing here? Yesterday, I heard from Zhi 'er that the house that the emperor gave you happens to be next to our house. This old man was happy the whole night and ran to your residence, but I didn't see anyone, only Miss Qiaoqiao. She and Zhi 'er are busy decorating your house. Have you ever seen it? "
Why was Old Xu talking so much nonsense? Lin Wanrong pulled him back and said anxiously, "I say, Brother Xu. Don't say such useless things. Is the emperor here? I want to enter the palace to see Princess Nichang. "
Xu Wei shook his head, "Little Brother Lin, you really came at the wrong time. His Majesty went to Xiangguo Temple today to offer incense. He said he went yesterday, but then he came back. "
Yesterday he lectured me in my house. Of course I can't go. Hearing that the Emperor was not in the palace, Lin Wanrong was immediately filled with disappointment. He needed the Emperor's permission to enter the inner courtyard of the palace. It was extremely troublesome. When would the inner courtyard of the palace be opened by his family?
When Xu Wei heard that he wanted to see Princess Ni Shang, he thought that he was still thinking about the groom selection that day. He patted his shoulder and said, "Little Brother Lin, it's a pity to fail on the verge of success, but if you insist on it, it's even worse. If you and Princess Ni Shang are fated to be together, you'll meet again sooner or later."
Lin Wanrong did not know whether to laugh or cry. What was there to force? Xian Er and I kowtowed three times and nine times in front of Big Sister An. She was my real wife, my real wife. Why did a husband have to report to his father-in-law when he wanted to see his wife? Marrying a princess was really troublesome!
Actually, even if he found Xian 'er now, it would be useless. Sister An was purposely avoiding him. Last night, she had used some method to make him fall asleep. By now, she must have left for a long time. Even if he wanted to chase after her, it would be too late. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had a deeper understanding of An Biru's stubborn and firm personality. An Biru was a woman from the Miao Tribe and was publicly acknowledged to have a lowly status, yet she just so happened to be an outstanding beauty. Her sensitivity and pride caused her heart to be like a crystal that was easy to shatter. I've really made an extremely stupid mistake last night.
Miao Village!!! I must go to Miao Village!!! I must snatch Sister An back!!! Regret was useless. It was better to put it into action. Picking up girls was as big as the sky. I have plenty of time anyway. The conviction in his heart became even firmer and his mood brightened. Thinking about the surprise and joy that Sister An would have when she saw him again, it was as if he could already see the fox flying into his arms. His eyes couldn't help but light up. He snickered a few times and a habitual, cheap smile floated on his face.
Xu Wei's eyes were dazed. What was this little brother Lin thinking? Why were there tears in his eyes? His smile was indescribably lewd. A strange person, truly a strange person!
"Mister Xu, when will Old General Li Tai's army leave?" Letting go of his worries, his mood became much more relaxed. Thinking about what Cheng Wang had said to him this morning, Lin Wanrong was worried about Li Tai's safety and opened his mouth to ask.
"The rations and salaries have not been prepared yet. It will probably take another month or so to gather the rations from all over. Why is little brother suddenly asking about this? "Xu Wei asked curiously.
"I'm worried that there are people who want to harm Old General Li. Tell him to strengthen his defenses. Not just against the Tu Jue, but also against spies. "Lin Wanrong's brows were deeply furrowed as he said seriously. Cheng Wang's words were vague. He definitely wouldn't tell him what was going on behind his back. There was no way to guard against it. He could only tell Li Tai to strengthen his defenses.
Xu Wei nodded with a smile, replying: "That is natural. Old General Li is the pillar of our China, the pillar of the army. He has long become a thorn in the side of the Hu people. The assassination attempts against him have never stopped. In these years, we have all become used to it. Little brother Lin, why don't you personally explain this to Old General Li? He is now your neighbour. "
"My neighbour?" Lin Wanrong was shocked. He then remembered that he had seen the mansions on either side of him yesterday. One was surnamed Xu, the other Li. So that was Li Tai's mansion. Xu Wei and Li Tai, one civil and one military, were the pillars of the country. They were the two pillars of China. The mansion that the old emperor had bestowed upon him was coincidentally between these two important officials. It seemed that there was a deeper meaning behind it.
"Aren't we just neighbours? My Xu Family and the Li Family have too few people. Only your wife has a lot. In the future, you will definitely have many children and grandchildren. It will be very lively. We should visit each other more often. "Xu Wei said with a smile.
"Many children and grandchildren? Thank you for your auspicious words. " Lin Wanrong giggled as he raised his hands in a fist salute: "I also wish for your old tree to bloom new flowers and for Su jiejie to become a mother soon."
Xu Wei's old face reddened but he couldn't help but laugh. Having a son at an old age was a blessing in life. It could fully prove the abilities of an old man. Every time Lin San spoke, it made people feel good.
After bidding farewell to Xu Wei, he went to the new mansion to take a look. He saw that the windows were bright and the interior was spotless. It was extremely clean but Qiaoqiao wasn't in the mansion. She was probably with the Grand Mistress and Lady Xiao. When he was rushing to the Xiao Family's branch, he saw a fast horse rushing over. Li Sheng jumped off the horse and said: "General Lin, I've finally found you."
Lin Wanrong's eyes lit up. He smiled and said: "Brother Li, do you have good news?"
Li Sheng nodded and said: "I didn't let you down. The Focker Cannon that you wanted, we have put together a few pieces and it has been completed." Speaking of the Focker Cannon, Li Sheng held back his laughter. Through General Lin's explanation, they had already understood the meaning of Focker. In General Lin's words, Focker meant to have fun – to have fun!
It would have been better if Li Sheng hadn't mentioned this. Now that Li Sheng brought it up, Lin Wanrong suddenly remembered the smell of tobacco on Zhao Kangning's body when he was close to him last night. According to Lu Dongzan, this "Spicy Nostril Grass" was only available in the Turks. Did that mean —
Li Sheng and the others were really fast. They had only given orders yesterday, but they had already completed it today. It seemed that there were many skilled people in the Godly Arms Battalion. If the Godly Arms Battalion was put to good use, they would be a great help on the battlefield. Lin Wanrong had a deep understanding of this point: "Brother Li, send two trustworthy brothers to hide the Focker Cannon outside the city. Damn it, I have to treat this broken thing as a treasure to fool people. "
Li Sheng laughed heartily. General Lin's words were really refreshing. Lin Wanrong waved his hand and said: "One more thing. When you and Brother Hu are free, come over and take a look at the Ferghana horses. See if they can be compatible with the horse breeds in China and produce some small Ferghana horses. If this is done well, our China cavalry will be able to ride good horses, and our battle power will definitely increase to another level. Of course, if they can't be bred, I'll keep them for myself. "
Li Sheng was still laughing earlier, but when he heard this, he was filled with deep veneration. Who said that General Lin was just playing games? With these two sentences, he was a true hero. Just think about how precious the Ferghana horses were. Other people treasured them like gold, but only he could give them away with a wave of his hand. How many people could compare to this spirit and boldness?
"I thank General on behalf of the brothers in the cavalry battalion." Li Sheng bowed deeply and gave a thumbs up: "General Lin, you are a true hero."
"I'm not really a hero, but sometimes I do stupid things." Lin Wanrong smiled faintly. Only he understood the meaning behind his words.
They chatted along the way and agreed with Li Sheng on the location of the Funk Cannon outside the city. When the time came, Lu Dongzan and the others could directly go there. These Turks had probably never fired a cannon before. Even if they were ten times more courageous, they wouldn't dare to fire it in public. As long as they didn't test the cannon, with Li Sheng's skills, it was more than enough to fool a few Hu people. Lin Wanrong had full confidence in his brothers.
By the time they returned to the Xiao Family's branch, it was almost noon. Before they even got close, they saw Qiaoqiao standing at the door, looking around as if she was looking for something.
"Little darling, you came out to greet your husband so enthusiastically?" Lin Wanrong smiled shyly and went up to her.
Qiaoqiao blushed and quickly grabbed his hand: "Brother, you're finally back. There's a lady in the shop. She's been waiting since last night. She said she won't leave until she sees you. She hasn't eaten or drunk for 16 hours and is about to faint. "
