After Xiu Yuan and his men escorted Ashil and Lu Dongzan back, the remaining thorny problems were left to Xu Wei and the others to deal with. Since the two countries were about to go to war, it was only a matter of time before they shed all pretenses of cordiality. Ashil was one thing, but that Lu Dongzan was a very powerful person. With Lin Wanrong's methods, it would be best to release him with great fanfare, and then send people to secretly dispose of him on the way back to the Turks. This could be considered as cutting off a powerful arm of the Turks. Shameless was a little shameless, but it was more practical. Unfortunately, this method might not work with Xu Wei and the Old Master Emperor. With their lofty and arrogant characters, they would definitely disdain to use such a hooligan and scoundrel like Lin San.
"General, this Ferghana horse — —" The young Xu Zhen gazed at the Ferghana horse under Lin Wanrong, his face filled with nostalgia. Cavalry loved horses, and he was an elite soldier personally trained by Hu Bugui. His horsemanship was not inferior to that of the Hu people, so his desire for the Ferghana horse was naturally greater than that of ordinary people.
As soon as Xu Zhen mentioned it, Lin Wanrong remembered that he had promised Hu Bugui that he would leave the Ferghana horse in the army for them to practice. Perhaps they could breed a new breed of horse, which would be a great contribution to the Chinese cavalry.
"I'll leave this horse to you." Lin Wanrong dismounted, patted the bright yellow mane of the Ferghana horse, and said with a smile, "If you can breed a new breed of horse, it can be considered a contribution of the Turks to China."
Xu Zhen was overjoyed, "Thank you General, I will do my best." Xu Zhen took the reins and happily pulled the Ferghana horse for a few steps. The sound of the hooves of this Turkic horse was crisp and clear. It was tall and naturally divine, and was the favorite of cavalry. Xu Zhen stroked the blood and sweat stains on the horse's back, and for a moment he could not bear to part with it.
This was all silver, this daddy could be considered to have done his best for Da Hua. Official Lin felt his heart ache. He helplessly waved his hand, pulled over a Ferghana horse, and rode it away.
After entering the city gate, he didn't go far before he saw a figure suddenly appear in front of him, blocking his horse.
Lin Wanrong was shocked and hurriedly pulled on the reins. The colt under him neighed and jumped up with its front hooves. It spun around on the spot and finally steadied itself.
The sky was already dark, and he couldn't see clearly who the person in front of him was. With his path blocked, Lin Wanrong flew into a rage. "Hey, brother, can you please watch the road while you're walking? Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because there are no traffic lights. "
The person in front of him burst into laughter, saying softly, "These words should be said by me to Sir Lin, right?"
"Xu Zhangjin?" The voice was sweet and crisp, and it sounded familiar. Lin Wanrong focused her gaze and saw that the person standing in front of the horse was dressed in a long dress. Her skin was translucent, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower. She was none other than the palace maid from Goryeo, Xu Changjin.
Why did this girl come here? Lin Wanrong was puzzled, but his face was full of smiles. "Oh, isn't this Miss Xu Zhangjin? Why, you haven't returned to Goryeo yet? "
"Sir, please step aside for a moment." Xu Changjin had a serious expression as she raised her head to look at him.
"Not to mention one step, even ten steps isn't a problem." Lin Wanrong flipped off his horse and stood in front of Xu Changjin. Looking at Xu Changjin's flawless skin, he felt an itch in his heart and wanted to touch it.
Seeing Lin Daren laugh so close to him, Xu Zhangjin hurriedly took a step back, bowing his head and saying, "I'll have to trouble Daren, please follow me."
Goryeo women were so polite. Even if they were to take off their clothes one day, this Goryeo woman would definitely say, "Sir, please enjoy!" Looking at Xu Changjin's slender and graceful figure, Sir Lin felt a wave of filth in his heart.
Xu Changjin brought him to a restaurant in front of them. When they reached the top floor, Xu Changjin lifted a curtain and said in a gentle and respectful voice, "Sir, please enter!"
There was no need for Xu Changjin to be so polite. When Lin Wanrong entered the room, he was stunned for a moment. The room was not big, but there was a platform as tall as a person's heel. On the platform was a short table, just like a Goryeo residence.
Xu Changjin bowed and took a pair of cloth slippers from the side. Her face was slightly red as she said, "Sir, Changjin will help you change your shoes."
"This isn't too good." Sir Lin beamed with joy. He sat down on a chair beside him and said arrogantly, "I don't have the habit of being served by others."
Xu Changjin was somewhat used to Sir Lin's personality of saying one thing and doing another. After he sat down, she knelt on the ground and carefully took off his shoes. Her face was slightly red.
The feeling of being served by a beauty was great. Sir Lin let out a comfortable sigh and said with a smile, "Miss Xu, your Goryeo culture is very special. You even have the habit of taking off your guests' shoes."
Xu Changjin's face was dyed pink. She hurriedly lowered her head and said in a soft voice, "No, we Goryeo women will only … Oh, sir is our esteemed guest, so it is only right for Changjin to take off your shoes."
"Is that so?" Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Miss Xu, I have been to Goryeo before. I have surfed on Jeju Island and picked flowers on Mount Kumgang. I know a thing or two about your customs. The bedrooms of Goryeo people can only be entered by those who are very close to them. As for taking off a man's shoes, that is even more unusual. Hehe, Miss Xu should know better than me. "
"It is not what sir thinks." Xu Changjin's small face was like a red cloud. After a while, she gradually returned to normal and said unhurriedly, "In our Goryeo, women will only take off their shoes for their husbands or elders. This is our Goryeo culture. But sir, please do not misunderstand. Sir is our esteemed guest. Changjin only did this out of respect for you. It has nothing to do with anything else. "
"So it is like that." Seeing Xu Changjin put on the slippers for him, Lin Wanrong stood up and said with a smile, "Miss Xu, wouldn't it have been fine if you had explained things earlier? You almost caused me to misunderstand. My wife just gave me an order today. In the future, I cannot casually provoke other girls. Otherwise, I will have to sleep on the floor when I get home. "
Xu Changjin covered her mouth and laughed lightly, "So the women of China can actually control their husbands like this. Changjin is really envious. Sir, which madam gave the order? Madam Qiaoqiao, Madam Grand Mistress, or Madam Miss Lo? "
Damn, the way the Goryeo people addressed him was really special. Hearing it made this old man's head hurt. Lin Wanrong laughed and suddenly thought of something. He said in surprise, "Madam Miss Lo? You know Ning 'er? "
Xu Changjin nodded and smiled, "I just got to know her. To be honest, I only found out that sir had returned to the capital after noon. Thus, I hurried over to the Xiao Family and chatted with Miss Lo for a while. Otherwise, how could I have known about sir's whereabouts? Madam Miss Lo is beautiful and dignified. She is also erudite and talented. Changjin admires her. Sir Lin is really fortunate. "
Ning 'er was really' dignified '. Lin Wanrong laughed. Xu Zhangjin's visit was exactly what Ning' er wanted. Pulling her over for a chat and getting some cosmetics, it wouldn't be difficult for the two of them to get to know each other.
"Sir, please come in." Xu Changjin bowed in invitation. Lin Wanrong stepped onto the tatami. It was soft and warm, making it very comfortable to walk on. Xu Changjin took off her shoes and wore a pair of snow-white socks, revealing her exquisite little feet. She smiled at him and the two of them sat on the other side of the table.
Xu Changjin clapped her hands and two well-dressed Goryeo women walked in with bowed bodies. They carefully placed the dishes on the table before bowing and retreating.
"So Miss Xu wants to treat me to a meal." Sir Lin smiled, "I haven't eaten Goryeo food in a long time. I just didn't expect that there would be such an authentic Goryeo restaurant in the capital of China. It is really surprising. "
"This is not a Goryeo restaurant." Xu Changjin shook her head, "Everything here is China food. Only this top floor is specially prepared for the Goryeo Royal Family. To be honest, this restaurant is the property of the Goryeo Royal Family. When we travel to and from China, we will always come here to stay. "
Xu Changjin's words implied that this restaurant was an intelligence gathering station for Goryeo. She was being so open and honest. It seemed that Goryeo's situation had reached an urgent stage.
Lin Wanrong laughed, "If that's the case, then there must be something special about this restaurant's Goryeo food. I must have a good taste today."
Xu Changjin smiled, "Sir must be joking. China's eight major cuisines have a myriad of variations. Our Goryeo food can't be compared to it. Our Goryeo food's specialty is its simplicity and unique flavor. It is unforgettable. Please have a taste. "
Xu Changjin used a small spoon to scoop some side dishes for him and respectfully handed it to him. Lin Wanrong tasted it and nodded with a smile, "Not bad, not bad. It is much more authentic than the Goryeo food I used to eat."
"This is Goryeo's Sake. Please have a taste." Xu Changjin filled the small cup in front of him and handed it to him. Lin Wanrong smiled, "Since Miss Xu is treating me to a meal, I can't drink alone."
Xu Changjin's delicate face was dyed red. She filled the cup in front of her and raised it with both hands, saying softly, "If that's the case, I will give you a toast. I wish that the friendship between China and Goryeo will last for ten thousand years!"
"I also wish that Miss Xu Changjin will grow prettier." Lin Wanrong laughed and drank the Sake in one gulp. Xu Changjin took a small sip and frowned. Her face was blushing, as if she couldn't handle the alcohol.
'This is just water. If it's Erguotou instead, you'll be in trouble.' Lin Wanrong snickered.
"Sir, please have a taste of this. This is a medicated meal personally prepared by Xu Changjin. Its function is —"
"Its function is to nourish the blood, nourish the spleen, nourish the lungs, nourish the kidneys and strengthen the Yang. Am I right?" Lin Wanrong teased.
"Sir, how did you know?" Xu Changjin was shocked. Then, she felt relieved, "It must be Qiaoqiao who told you."
Lin Wanrong smiled, "Miss Xu, since medicated meals have so many functions, what is the purpose of the one you are treating me to? Is it to nourish the blood, nourish the Yin, or strengthen the Yang? "
Xu Changjin's face reddened. She forced herself to be calm and said, "Sir, you are in the prime of your youth. You don't need any of the above. This medicated meal is used to clear away internal heat."
"I didn't think that Qiaoqiao would even tell this to Miss Xu. I am ashamed, ashamed. Recently, I have been too energetic and have had too much sex." Lin Daren's expression was serious, "I don't know if Miss Xu's medicated meal has any effect. Sigh, I will go back tonight and try it. If there are any effects, I will definitely report to Miss Xu."
Xu Changjin lowered her head in embarrassment. She said softly, "Sir, please don't joke. Your family is full of beauties. If you don't cherish them, wouldn't you be wasting them?"
'Wonderful, Xu Changjin is indeed insightful.' Lin Wanrong laughed and raised his cup. Xu Changjin took another sip of Sake. Her face became even redder.
"That's right, Miss Xu, I heard from Qiaoqiao that you gave them some mascara and eyeshadow. Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but did you invent these two things yourself?" Thinking of what Qiaoqiao had shown him, Lin Wanrong's heart trembled. He wanted to ask clearly while he was face-to-face with Xu Changjin.
"Lin Daren, how do you know that these two things are called mascara and eyeshadow?" Xu Changjin didn't answer his question and asked back.
This question was not easy to answer. Lin Wanrong said vaguely, "Oh, this, I have heard of it before. I didn't think that you would have these things in your hands. Miss Xu, did you really make these yourself? "
Xu Changjin smiled slightly, "These things were passed down by one of my masters. I heard that they came from the west as well. It is not easy to gather the raw materials. I only have these on hand. I have given them to your wives."
"Your master?" Lin Wanrong frowned, "Has she been to the west?"
"I haven't heard her mention it." Xu Changjin said indifferently, "Perhaps she has. Lin Daren, my master is a low-key person and doesn't want outsiders to know about her. If it weren't for the fact that your wives are on good terms with me, I definitely wouldn't have given these things to them. So, please keep it a secret. Please. "
Xu Changjin bowed deeply, her words were very sincere. Lin Wanrong laughed. What do you mean by being on good terms with my wives? Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You are only pretending to be generous because you have something to ask of me. However, Xu Changjin's master actually knew about mascara and eyeshadow. It seemed that she was not a simple person. At the very least, she had been to the west. Luckily, from what Xu Changjin said, this mascara and eyeshadow were not easy to make. It seemed that it was not possible to mass produce them. The royal family of Goryeo could not use this to fight against China. Lin Daren slightly relaxed. He took a sip of sake and smiled, changing the topic, "Miss Xu, I heard that the girls of Goryeo have a habit of calling the men they are close with brother so-and-so. For example, brother Sung-Joon, brother Zhihuan, brother Wei. Is this true?"
"Daren is very knowledgeable. You even know this." Xu Changjin nodded slightly, "The girls of Goryeo do indeed call the men of the opposite sex of the same age that we are close with."
Lin Wanrong laughed, "Then my official name is Lin Wanrong. If we were in Goryeo, how would you call me?"
"This …" Xu Changjin's lips trembled, her face burning. After hesitating for a long time, she finally opened her mouth, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Brother Wanrong …"
"Ah, sister Changjin …" Lin Daren beamed with joy and agreed very quickly. Today, I have also been Wanrong's brother, sister Changjin's brother Wanrong. It is such an honor.
Xu Changjin did not speak for a long time. The atmosphere in the room became very ambiguous. Lin Daren flirtatiously teased, "Sister Changjin, hearing you call me brother Wanrong so naturally, did you have many brothers in Goryeo?"
"Why would Daren think this way?" Xu Changjin lightly bit her lips, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, "Changjin grew up in the Goryeo palace and was only a small palace maid. I did not have any good relationships with men, let alone many brothers. Daren is looking down on Changjin. Do you think that Changjin is that vulgar girl? "
This girl has character. Lin Wanrong laughed, "Sister Changjin, don't be angry. Brother Wanrong is just saying. I know that you are like me, not a casual person."
Xu Changjin snorted, lowered her head and did not speak. The ambiguous atmosphere was completely destroyed by Lin Daren's words. Xu Zhangjin waited for a long time, but there was no movement. He only heard a light 'pata pata' sound. He looked up and saw that 'Brother Wanrong' acted as if nothing had happened and was happily enjoying the medicinal cuisine.
"Sister Changjin, you should try it too. It's good for clearing heat." Lin Wanrong smiled as he handed over the medicinal cuisine.
Being in contact with this person who could not be killed, even her skin had become much thicker. Xu Changjin bitterly smiled and shook her head, sighing, "Daren, do you know how Changjin feels about you?"
"It's best if you don't feel anything. To be honest, I am not ready for an international relationship. I am just afraid that someone will fall in love with me." Lin Daren said carelessly.
"Daren, what are you saying?" Xu Changjin shyly said, "How could Changjin have those kinds of thoughts? I will not hide it from you. The first time I met you, I felt that you were too shameless. You completely disregarded diplomatic etiquette and could do anything, making me hate you. But then … "
"Then what?" Lin Wanrong asked with great interest.
Xu Changjin lightly smiled, gently saying, "Later on, after interacting with Daren more, I realized that Daren is not as greedy and shameless as you seem. You are just using a very secretive method to express your feelings. This method is incompatible with the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, as well as the teachings of Confucianism, which have been revered in China for thousands of years. That is why Daren is so unconventional and unique. Let's talk about the matter of you accepting bribes from the Turks and Goryeo. Changjin even misunderstood you. It was only later on that Changjin realized that he was wrong. "
"Oh, what was it? Ai, I have done too many good deeds, I can't remember them all, "Lin Wanrong said proudly.
Xu Changjin chuckled and shook his head. Then, a trace of disappointment appeared on his face, his eyes slightly red. "Does Daren remember that His Highness the Prince had a request for you that day and made you a condition?"
Condition? Lin Wanrong was taken aback for a moment, then he remembered. Smiling, he said, "Are you talking about the Night Pearls? I accepted them and you even went to the Emperor to complain about me. "
"Daren is always so humble." Xu Changjin blushed slightly. "Changjin was talking about another matter. That day, His Highness the Prince promised that if Daren said a few words for Goryeo, he would give Changjin to your residence. I did not expect Daren to reject it without hesitation. "
"So it is this matter." Lin Wanrong smiled. "A gentleman loves women, but he does so in the right way. I am a man of my principles."
Xu Changjin lowered his head and slowly said, "From the beautiful wives and concubines in your residence, Daren is naturally dissolute and fond of women. There is no doubt about it. Although Changjin is a willow, he is not a disgrace. Daren was able to reject him. What is even more rare is that no matter how Changjin tried to make things difficult for Daren, Daren never mentioned this matter in front of Changjin or used it as a threat. You are willing to be a nameless hero, leaving Changjin with a lot of dignity and integrity. Changjin cannot thank you enough and thank you for your kindness. "
Naturally dissolute and fond of women? This is your evaluation of me? Shallow, extremely shallow. Although Da Changjin was praising him, Lin Daren was a bit angry. You still say that you do not look at the surface? What you see now is that you are fond of women and willing to be a nameless hero, which one of them is not superficial? I don't even care about you.
Xu Changjin got up and knelt in front of him, bowing deeply. Lin Wanrong hurriedly helped her up and said, "Hey, hey, sister Changjin, there is no need to bow so deeply. You must know that your 'Brother Wanrong' has always adhered to his principles."
"Daren, your adhering to your principles has made me see how you are different from others. Under your dissolute appearance, there is a passionate heart that worries for the country and its people. It is as if your decadent music plays out the high mountains and flowing rivers. Changjin admires you greatly, "Xu Changjin said softly.
"Actually, I am not as good as you say." Hearing Xu Changjin praise him so much, Lin Daren beamed with joy and humbly said, "Other than being a bit more handsome, a bit more skilled in martial arts, a bit more knowledgeable, a bit more capable, and a bit more compassionate, I really don't have any good points. Sister Changjin is too kind."
Xu Changjin sighed softly and lowered her head. Tears welled up in her eyes as she choked with sobs and said, "Daren, you are of noble character and unquestionable integrity. Changjin has a request for you, I hope you will agree to it."
After flattering for half a day, they finally got down to business. Seeing 'sister Changjin' in such a pitiful state, 'Brother Wanrong' felt his heart ache. He nodded and said, "Speak. As long as it does not interfere with the interests of my China, does not harm the interests of my Xiao Family, does not require me to run errands, do not require me to spend money, and do not require me to trouble myself, I will agree to anything you ask of me. Sigh, I really have the heart of a Bodhisattva. I cannot bear to see a girl cry. Sister Changjin, don't cry. Brother Wanrong loves you dearly. "
Changjin was infuriated when she heard this. 'What else can I do with you people who don't want me?' She knelt on the ground and cried, "Daren, we received intelligence yesterday that the Japanese army will set off tomorrow. Tens of thousands of ships will head straight for Goryeo. Goryeo is in danger. Please persuade the Emperor to send troops to help Goryeo. The people of Goryeo will remember China's kindness for all eternity. "
"The Japanese have sent troops, so quickly?" Lin Daren sighed, "Miss Xu, how can war be so easy? We can't act blindly, we have to think about it carefully."
"But the tens of thousands of people of Goryeo are in danger. If they fall into the hands of those Japanese beasts, their lives will be worse than death." Xu Changjin raised her head and looked at him, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.
"It's difficult, it's difficult!" Lin Daren sighed, his face was filled with difficulty.
"My Lord …" A seductive yet trembling voice rang in his ears.
"Ah?" Lin Wanrong raised his head and was instantly stunned.
Xu Zhangjin's pretty face was stained with tears. Her cheeks were dyed with two beautiful red clouds. She glanced at him and gritted her teeth. Her slender little hands quickly pulled at the belt of her robe. With a soft 'hua la' sound, the robe fell to the ground, revealing a soft and supple body.
