"Want, want to leave?" Lin Wanrong stared blankly for a long time: "Go where?"
Second Miss's expression was gloomy. She lowered her head and said: "Mother wants to go back to Jin Ling. Jiejie is still trying to persuade her, but no matter what we say, she is still very firm."
"Go back to Jin Ling to do what?" Lin Wanrong struggled to sit up, but he cried out in pain. There was a sharp pain in his leg. Xian 'er and Qing Xuan quickly pressed him down. Miss Xiao softly said: "Such a serious injury, why don't you calm down a bit? Just lie down and listen to Yushuang meimei. Madam must have a reason to leave so urgently. "
"Yes," Lin Wanrong endured the pain and said: "Grand Mistress and Second Miss are both in the capital. Madam is also living happily here. Why would she want to go back to Jin Ling? There is no one to talk to her. She is very lonely. "
Yushuang grunted and frowned: "Jiejie and I also tried to persuade her, but mother said that our Xiao Family's roots are in Jin Ling. No matter how good the capital is, it is not a place for her to stay for a long time. She said that she has been away for some time, and it is time to go back. Last night, she wrote a letter to Cousin Guo, telling him to go to the capital at night. To discuss the rebuilding of the shop in the capital. "
Roots in Jin Ling? Lin Wanrong looked at the girls around him. Qiaoqiao, Xian 'er, Qing Xuan, and Second Miss. Which one of them didn't meet in Jin Ling? Madam has a family there and has lived for many years. It is normal for her to have such thoughts. But why did she choose to leave at such a noisy and chaotic time? Now that the Xiao Family is in chaos in the capital, it is the time when she is needed the most.
Lady Xiao is not an unreasonable person. She has her own reasons for wanting to return to Jin Ling at this time. Lin Wanrong thought for a long time before comforting himself.
Second Miss put the chicken soup aside and held his hand. She sobbed softly and said, "Mother said that she was the one who harmed you when you were seriously injured. She felt extremely guilty and couldn't face you, so she insisted on returning to Jinling. I could see that my mother had a lot of pain in her heart, but she didn't want to tell me and my sister. You are the person she values the most. Please go and persuade her. Let her stay in the capital with us. Okay? "
You want me to persuade you? Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly. He knew his wife's character very well. She was stubborn and unyielding. She was even more stubborn than Xiao Yuruo. Perhaps no one could change that.
"Husband. Just give it a try. "Qin Xian 'er and Lady Xiao had been together for a few days, and their feelings for each other had deepened. She was also very reluctant to part with her.
Lin Wanrong sighed and said helplessly, "I can try, but I'm afraid it won't be of much use. If Madam were to lose her temper, I would have to show her some respect. "
You don't respect her on normal days? The sisters in the room all smiled when they heard his interesting words. The heavy atmosphere also dissipated a lot.
"Qiaoqiao, support me. I'll go and see Madam. If I wait until she's ready, I'm afraid she won't be able to say anything. "Lin Wanrong said after some thought.
The women in the room jumped in fright. Miss Xiao said angrily, "How can you go out like this? The Xiao Family's madam isn't a heartless person. If she wants to return to Jin Ling, she will certainly come to say goodbye. "
"That's right." Seeing him so anxious, Yushuang also felt distressed. She busily said, "Mother is busy in the kitchen right now. It's not the time to talk. Wait until she's free. Then she will come to see you. "
Being injured was troublesome, he couldn't do anything. Lin Wanrong sighed bitterly. Before he could say anything, he heard a long wail coming from the courtyard, "Little brother Lin, little brother Lin, a few days ago we were drinking and chatting merrily. How could you just leave like this — —" The voice was choked with sobs, crying miserably, "— — It's hard to find a bosom friend in life. You left me alone, that's not the style of a gentleman! How could you be so cruel? Little brother Lin, come back quickly, I'm in so much pain — — "
There was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by the tragic voice of the four virtues, "Xu Daren, what happened to you, what happened to you? Please restrain your grief. Someone come quickly, Xu Daren has fainted. Third brother, how could you just leave like this — — "
Lin Wanrong had goosebumps all over his body. Please, brothers, even if you're acting, you have to be a bit more professional. Don't just wail. Play the suona, gongs, and drums first. Wear mourning clothes first. Otherwise, how could everyone in the capital know that I'm dead?!
The young ladies looked at each other in dismay, even though they knew it was an act. But listening to this voice, it made people feel unhappy. The second young miss pouted and snorted, "What nonsense is Si De talking about, he's the one who's dead. Good people don't live long, bad people live for a thousand years, doesn't he know this?! "
Everyone knew that Xiao Yushuang was frank and cute. Miss Xiao and the others couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. They laughed happily.
Children's words carried no harm, children's words carried no harm. Lin Wanrong smiled and touched Yushuang's little bright red face, which was close to his, as if he had gotten back at her.
This room was full of women. Seeing that Xu Wei had arrived, it was natural for them to leave. Xiao Qingxuan held Qin Xian 'er's little hand and smiled gently, "Younger sister. You stay here and take care of Lin Lang. He likes to talk to you. "
Miss Xiao's words were very profound. Qin Xian 'er wanted to argue back, but she didn't know whether to admit it or not. She could only lower her head with a red face.
"Little Brother Lin," Xu Wei staggered as he ran in. His clothes were covered in dust, and his cheeks and beard were full of tears. He cried bitterly, "What happened to you?! I'm not dead yet, and you're in the prime of your life. Why did you leave first? Where else can I find a good friend like you? Aiya, I don't want to live anymore — — "
Qin Xian 'er was annoyed when she heard this from behind the curtain. She snorted, "Husband, how can this Xu Wei be like this? He's hypocritical and doesn't live up to his reputation!!"
"He's this kind of person." Lin Wanrong giggled, "When we were in Jinling, he lied to me to attack your White Lotus Sect. He even gave me the title of General Staff, but in fact, I was just the head of the army to transport rations. I've already fallen for his trick. Hi, Mr. Xu — — "
Qin Xian 'er slowly pulled open the curtain. Xu Wei saw Lin San lying on the bed, wrapped like a dumpling. He took three steps back in shock. His lips trembled for a while, and tears flowed down his face. He said ecstatically, "Brother Lin. You, you're not dead?! "
This old man is acting like it's real. If you act well, I won't give you an award. Lin Wanrong giggled, "Look at what you're saying. Can I still summon you if I'm dead? I don't do such a wicked thing. "
Xu Wei seemed to be in disbelief. He slowly walked towards him and rubbed his eyes. He pressed hard on his body a few more times. It was warm and warm. "Aiya," he was so excited. He grabbed Lin Wanrong's hand, tears flowing down his cheeks. He was so excited that he trembled, "Brother Lin, you're really not dead? That's great, that's great. God bless my China. "
This old man's strength is not small. Doesn't he know that I'm seriously injured? Why is he acting so seriously in the room? Lin Wanrong grimaced and was about to speak when Si De secretly whispered into his ear, "Third Brother, when Miss Luo sent me to find Xu daren, she said that the act must be real. How can it be real? I thought about it and made the decision on my own. When I went to report to Xu daren, I only said that you died and didn't say that you were alive. He believed it and cried all the way here. Look, he didn't even have time to put on his shoes. How can this act be real? "
"At least you're insightful, kid." Lin Wanrong laughed and scolded him. He glanced again. Sure enough, it was true. Old Xu was wearing a cloth shoe on one foot and a cloth sock on the other. He cut a sorry figure.
I've misunderstood, I've misunderstood. I didn't expect Old Xu to treat me so sincerely. Lin Wanrong felt guilty and hastily cupped his fists, "Mr. Xu overpraises me. I'm really sorry for troubling Mr. Xu to travel so far. Xian 'er, quickly bring a stool for Xu daren. "
"Aiya, I can't do that. Xu Wei greets Princess Ni Shang. "With Qin Xian 'er's status, how could Xu Wei dare to be presumptuous? He hastily bowed deeply.
"Mr. Xu, don't be so polite. This is my Lin family's private residence. There's no need to be so polite." Qin Xian 'er waved her hand and smiled generously.
It was Si De who brought a chair over and invited Xu Wei to sit in front of Lin Wanrong's sickbed. Xu Wei sighed deeply and wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, "Little brother, just now you sent a family member to report the bad news. It scared me to death. If my China doesn't have you at such a time of disaster, then it would really be beyond redemption. "
Am I as important as you say I am? According to Lin Wanrong's temperament, she wanted to joke with him, but seeing that this old man had a head full of gray hair, his temples were white, and tears were still on his face, she knew that his affection was not fake, so she endured.
"Little brother, your act is to lure the snake out of its hole." Are you trying to lure the snake out of its hole? "Xu Wei was also a shrewd old man. Seeing that Lin San was still alive, he understood his intentions.
"Who cares if he comes out of his hole or not? Even if he doesn't, I will still beat him." Lin Wanrong gnashed his teeth. He has always taken advantage of others and never suffered losses. This time, not only did he almost lose his life, but he also nearly implicated the Xiao Family mother and daughter. The anger in his heart was naturally difficult to suppress. If he didn't get back at them, he wouldn't be able to do so. If he didn't get back at them, then that wasn't Lin San's temperament.
Xu Wei laughed, "This time, you scared me quite a bit. I have already sent someone to invite Li Tai over. I don't need to tell you how much the Great General values you. I'm afraid he is just as frightened as I am. When he sees that you are unharmed, he will be stubborn and will definitely punish me for making a false report. "
Seeing Xu Wei laughing happily, Lin Wanrong nodded and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Xu, how is the Xiangguo Temple? Is there any movement?! "
Hearing him talk about official matters, Xu Wei's expression instantly became serious, "Little brother Lin, when I received the news that you were in trouble that night, I knew something was wrong and surrounded the Xiangguo Temple that very night. The army outside the city also retreated ten li according to your orders. As expected, that night, hundreds of death warriors suddenly appeared in the southeast corner of the city — — "
"King Cheng ran?!" Lin Wanrong paled. He instantly felt regret.
"If he really dared to run, then it would be great. This old man was worried about not having a reason to act." A cold killing intent flashed through Xu Wei's eyes. He laughed coldly.
"It wasn't King Cheng?!" Lin Wanrong asked with a frown.
"It was the Wu people!" Xu Wei snorted and said, "These hundreds of death warriors are skilled in martial arts, and their methods are ruthless. I lost three hundred soldiers to kill them all. It's just that I haven't found anything useful in here. "
"Wu people?!" Lin Wanrong was deeply puzzled, "They suddenly appeared for no reason and didn't get anything. Did they come just to give away the lives of a hundred death warriors? "
"That might not be true." Xu Wei stood and slowly walked a few steps, "Maybe they wanted to test our defenses. Or maybe they wanted to receive someone. "
The Wu people suddenly appeared. What did they want? To plant death warriors in the heart of China, they deserve to die! Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth and snorted, "Xu daren. King Cheng? Where is he? "
"He's very quiet." Xu Wei laughed dryly, "These two days, he's been staying in the Xiangguo Temple, eating vegetarian and worshipping Buddha. On the day of your accident, he invited the Emperor to the abbot's room to listen to the Reverend's explanation. "
"The Emperor also went?!" Lin Wanrong was even more puzzled. What did King Cheng want to do if he didn't use the chaos to escape? Was he really repentant? Fuck your grandfather. The explosives that I was hit by at the Xiao Family, did they fall from the sky?!
Xu Wei nodded, "His banner was to pay respects to the previous Emperor and to preach Buddhism. The Emperor, as a son, how could he not go? Knowing that the cause of the Xiao Family's accident was Xiangguo Temple, I surrounded that place that night. But the Emperor was also in the temple. An imperial decree came down and I couldn't act rashly. "
This King Cheng was really daring. He was secretly scheming and laughing with the Emperor at the same time. If this person wasn't eliminated, he would become a great threat. Lin Wanrong sneered, "Mister Xu, in your opinion, what does King Cheng want to do? He doesn't have any soldiers and he's surrounded by us. Can he really be so relaxed? "
"Relaxed?" Xu Wei laughed, "I think it's true that he wants to escape. If this old man hasn't guessed wrongly, those hundreds of death warriors were here to test our strength. If we had panicked that day, maybe he would have escaped to the Hu camp. "
Lin Wanrong was silent in thought. A long while later, he said, "Mister Xu, you mean to say. He's playing a diversion, not to join the Pirates. But to join the Hu? "
"That's the only way to explain why the hundred death soldiers walked right into our trap. They wanted to divert our attention." Xu Wei nodded in agreement.
Is it really like this? Then King Cheng's diversion is as shallow as my plan to feign death! Lin Wanrong had always prided himself on being cunning but he couldn't guess King Cheng's intentions. But there was one thing he could do. He snickered, murderousness on his face, "No matter where he runs, as long as we act first, he won't have a chance. Mister Xu. Why don't we — — "
He fiercely made a gesture, but it affected the injury on his leg. Immediately, he cried out in pain and broke out in a cold sweat. Qin Xianer hurriedly massaged his temples, and only then did the pain slightly lessen. But when he thought of the main culprit, the murderousness in his heart increased.
"No." Xu Wei hurriedly shook his head, "King Cheng might be evil, but he hasn't shown it to the public. The bloodline left behind by the previous emperor is only him and the Emperor. He is also skilled at deception and drawing people's hearts to his side. He has great prestige in the court and among the people. At this time, the war in the North is approaching. China is in danger. If we act rashly without evidence, at best, it will incite the anger of the officials and the anger of the people, and disturb the morale of the army. At worst, it will cause our China to collapse and be unable to recover. We cannot be rash in this matter. "
What anger of the officials and the anger of the people, what disturb the morale of the army. Lin Wanrong's mouth twitched as he listened. Although this Xu Wei was someone who had led troops before, in the end he had the air of a scholar and his considerations were too meticulous. Since ancient times, the winner was king and the loser was always in the wrong. Whoever acted first would have the advantage. So what if they were cursed for a while, after ten or twenty years of peace and prosperity, who would remember what had happened in the past? Lin Wanrong was well aware of this. Even more, he wasn't on good terms with King Cheng. It wasn't his personality to sit and wait for King Cheng to attack.
"Teacher Xu, what did His Majesty say?" Seeing Xu Wei's hesitation, Lin Wanrong didn't argue with him and asked softly. He had full confidence in the old Emperor. That old man wasn't a kind person. He would treat his son-in-law with both kindness and authority, much less a disloyal King Cheng. He had endured for twenty years, waiting for this day. I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death.
Xu Wei nodded, "After the incident that day, Xiao Xiong, the Emperor stayed in the study. In the second half of the night, he sent six words: Present material evidence, correct the situation. "
Present material evidence, correct the situation? Lin Wanrong smiled, replying, "Yes, yes. The Emperor's thoughts are exactly the same as mine."
Xu Wei was puzzled, "This Imperial Decree is easy to resolve, but the material evidence is extremely difficult. King Cheng is as treacherous as a fox and won't easily leave any traces. If there was material evidence, this old man wouldn't need the Emperor's decree and would have acted already. Why would it drag until today? "
When did this old man become stupid? He couldn't even hear the meaning behind the Emperor's words. You've been in the court for so many years. Lin Wanrong chuckled sinisterly. "My dear Mr. Xu, what do you want me to say about you? You are too upright. That old fox doesn't give himself away, can't you make one for him? "
"I also know that I'm too righteous and not suited to playing politics." Xu Wei shook his head and sighed, his appearance very proper.
This old man's skin isn't much thinner than mine. Lin Wanrong laughed and called him over. He whispered a few words. Xu Wei jumped in fright and hurriedly waved his hands, "How can this be done? This old man has studied the books of the saints for so many years, how can I do such a thing? If people find out, I'll go down in history as a stink. "
"Don't worry. Master Xu is such a righteous person, how could he think of such a bad idea. " Lin Wanrong magnanimously waved his hand and giggled, replying, "Just put it on me. Everyone knows that my heart isn't righteous."
Xu Wei shook his head and sighed. Suppressing his smile, he raised his hands, saying, "Little brother has a good plan. Working under you, this old man has really learned a lot. I only ask the saints to forgive me. This wasn't my idea. "
Seeing the crafty expression on this old man's face, Lin Wanrong instantly gave a cry. Motherf * * * er, I've been tricked. The bad idea is on me, the advantage is on him. How is this old man stupid? He's clearly pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!
