"Get up, all of you. Get up." He hurriedly stretched out his hands to help his brothers up. Tears were already welling up in his eyes. "I just took a few days off to visit a brothel and have a cup of tea. How could I be caught by you?!"
Hu Bugui, Gao Qiu, Du Xiuyuan and the others exchanged a glance with each other, then suddenly burst into wild laughter. They lifted him up and threw him into the air. "Roar — — Roar — —" What a dizzy feeling! He was so frightened that he yelled, "I have acrophobia! Hey, old Gao, don't touch me — — Who took off my pants?! "
Who could still control him?! Countless soldiers swarmed over, caught his falling body, and then threw him high into the air. Laughter and tears of joy sprinkled down together.
I really am a failed deserter! Looking at the tearful faces in front of him, he sighed inwardly, helplessly shook his head, wanting to laugh and cry at the same time.
"I've said before, good people don't live long, bad people will live for thousands of years." Gao Qiu put him down, wiped his tears, and said with a grin, "Brother Lin still has hundreds of years to live, how could he die so easily?!"
"Yes, yes," Hu Bugui laughed. "Old Gao, to tell you the truth, it's the first time I've heard you say such pleasant words!"
Although Du Xiuyuan was guarding the rear and did not follow them into the grassland, but he was a calm and composed person. Seeing Lin Wanrong's pale face, he could not help but ask with concern, "General, your injury — —"
Lin Wanrong nodded and said seriously, "Big brother Du, every night find a few girls to massage my legs and back, and take a sauna. I believe that in less than eight to ten years, I can fully recover."
"I want to, but I'm afraid that your wives won't agree!" Du Xiuyuan burst into laughter.
His plan to become a deserter was ruined, and he did not know if he could return before Qing Xuan gave birth to a son. He felt some regret, but also some joy. It was difficult to understand the feeling of reuniting with his old brothers who had survived a calamity.
Tens of thousands of people surrounded him. He excitedly ran towards the main camp. Along the way, they talked about what they had experienced after they parted ways. It was really like walking through the gates of hell several times. Everyone sighed.
Before entering the central tent, the white-haired Li Tai came out to welcome him. Lin Wanrong hurriedly took two steps forward and cupped his fists. "Greetings, Marshal Li! It had been a few days since they last met. The Marshal's body is strong, his steps are strong, and his demeanor is even better than before. It is the fortune of us brothers! "
"You think I won't punish a deserter just because you said a few nice words?" Li Tai snorted with a straight face, "Leaving the battle formation without permission and refusing to return. Come, drag this Lin San away and give him two hundred strokes of the cane!"
"Marshal …" Tens of thousands of soldiers knelt on the ground in fright.
Lin Wanrong coughed a few times and said helplessly, "If the Marshal wants to fight, then fight. I only have half my life left anyway. It's the same no matter who I hand over to!"
He really couldn't scare this kid! Li Tai sized him up a few times and said while holding back his laughter: "Originally we were going to fight. However, at least you still have some merits and didn't disappoint me! Once this merit is over, I won't punish you. Why are you glaring at me? Are you not convinced?! "
"Convinced, convinced!" Lin Wanrong rolled his eyes and nodded in annoyance.
The Commander in Chief smiled and walked straight into the central tent. Lin Wanrong followed behind him unhappily without saying a word.
Looking at his resentful expression and seeing that there was no one around, Li Tai lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Don't complain! It's not that I don't want to reward you. If you want to blame someone, blame it on your contribution being too great. Even if I wanted to reward you, I wouldn't be able to. "
Indeed, there was no way to reward him. In terms of official position, he was already the Marshal of the Right Division. If he were to be promoted further, he would have to replace Li Tai as the commander of the three armies. In terms of reputation, he was like the sun in the sky. His lone army penetrated deep into the grasslands and captured the Khan of the Turkic Khaganate. This was something that no one had done in the past few hundred years. However, it was all accomplished by his hands. He was the hero in the hearts of all the people of China, a god-like figure.
"I can't reward you, but there is one person who can." The Commander in Chief handed him a golden silk and said with a smile: "This is the emperor's imperial edict. Take a look!"
The imperial edict was very simple. There were only four words on it. Lin Wanrong was surprised: "Lin San's decision. What does this mean?!"
"Isn't it obvious?!" Li Tai smiled and looked at him meaningfully: "The emperor's intention is that you will be in charge of the negotiation with the Turkic Khaganate!"
Negotiate with the Turkic Khaganate? I will be in charge?! Hu Feng's heart was in a trance. He hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, I'm good at making love. I'm not good at negotiating. What's more, I was injured recently. I'm physically and mentally exhausted. Negotiating is not something I can do. Marshal, quickly write a memorial to the emperor and ask him to take back his order! "
Li Tai slowly shook his head: "That won't do. The emperor's intention is very clear. From now on, me and Zhi 'er will listen to you. Not only the negotiation, but the soldiers in my hands will also be handed over to you sooner or later — —"
"Ah-" Lin Wanrong was shocked.
"What's there to be surprised about?" The Commander in Chief smiled and looked at him: "I brought you here just for this day! Lin San, I'm already old. I'm relieved to hand over these soldiers to you. With your intelligence and wisdom, and with your status and prestige, even if they are not invincible, they will never be at a disadvantage! "
Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Commander in Chief, don't laugh at me. Aside from coming up with some bad ideas, do you think I'm a Marshal?"
Li Tai laughed and shook his head: "Lin San, ah, Lin San, how can you be so smart and stupid?!"
How can I be stupid? Hu Feng blankly looked at the Commander in Chief.
"Your biggest strength is that you are smart. You have a way to understand people. You can make people follow you wholeheartedly. I will give these soldiers to you. You can firmly control millions of soldiers, but you don't have to be the Marshal yourself. As long as you know how to use people well, you can choose those who are loyal to their duty to lead these soldiers. What's the difference between you and controlling the soldiers? Just like how the emperor treated me — — "Li Tai gently nodded his head:" This is the best way. "
Li Tai's words were very sincere. He and Xu Wei were the backbone of China, so the weight of his words was self-evident.
Lin Wanrong laughed twice: "This, I didn't think too much about it. Let's talk about it later. Old General, you are still healthy."
Seeing Hu Feng's refusal, Li Tai was also helpless, so he anxiously said: "What about the negotiation with the Hu people? The emperor clearly said that only you can make a decision on this matter. No one else can make a decision. "
Negotiation was a very troublesome matter. He bitterly sighed and shook his head.
Old General Li glanced at him, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "— — Let me tell you another piece of news. For this negotiation, the Turks sent the Great Khan Golden Blade! Don't you want to go and take a look?! "
Crescent Moon is here?!
He felt bitter in his heart and unconsciously placed his hand on his chest. The pain had not disappeared, but the wound was still there. That arrow, did it end all the grudges?!
All kinds of feelings surged in his heart. He hurriedly cupped his fists: "Old General. Negotiation is not my forte. Furthermore, I was just injured and should not do any strenuous exercise. Your Majesty, please choose someone else. Goodbye! "
"Lin San, Lin San — —" Li Tai wanted to rouse Hu Feng's determination to negotiate, but who knew that it was the opposite of what he wanted. Hearing Yu Jia's name, Hu Feng actually turned and left. In the blink of an eye, he was out of the tent.
"General, how was it. What did the marshal say to you? "Hu Bugui, Gao Qiu, Du Xiuyuan and the others were waiting for him outside. Seeing him come out, they hurriedly went up to greet him.
What else could he say? He shook his head and smiled bitterly. After a long while, he asked: "Big Brother Hu, where are those Hu people being held?!"
"It's right here in this camp. General, are you going to see them?! "
Lin Wanrong nodded. Hu Bugui and the other two hurriedly led the way. There were more than twenty Turkic nobles captured this time. Excluding those who were killed outside Kyzil City, there were less than ten people left, including the Little Khan, Tusozo and Zhao Kangning.
All the Turkic people were tied up and trapped in several stone rooms. They were heavily guarded and the security was tight. Tusozo was locked up alone in a room. His hair was messy and his face was covered with stubble. One of his legs was broken and drooped on the ground. He was no longer tall and handsome. Hearing the sound, he looked up from the darkness and stared for a long while. Suddenly, he roared: "You, you are Lin San?"
Lin Wanrong smiled: "Yes, I am Lin San! It's good that Your Excellency still remembers me. Our intimacy at the sheep hunting meeting was not in vain! "
New hatred and old hatred surged in his heart at the same time. Tusozo dragged his broken leg and charged forward as if he had gone mad. He grabbed the iron fence that was as thick as a baby's arm and roared, "You despicable Chinaman! Yujia is mine! She is mine! I want to duel you!"
If a duel could solve all problems, then the world would undoubtedly be much simpler. Lin Wanrong sighed and shook his head slightly. He did not speak.
"Lin San, you're not dead yet?!" A childish voice sounded. The Turkic Little Khan glared at him with wide eyes. Although Sarmu was young, he was the future master of the grasslands. His clothes were messy, but he did not look dispirited. This was all thanks to Yueya 'er's teachings.
Lin Wanrong moved closer and nodded. "Yes, I'm not dead yet!"
"You harmed my sister, why don't you die?!" Sarmu roared angrily, stretching out his arms and legs to grab at his face.
Hu Bugui was about to stop him when Lin Wanrong shook his head. "Sarmu, you can curse me to die, but I didn't harm your sister."
"You're lying!" Sarmu said mercilessly. "My sister likes you so much, but you pretended to be mute to deceive her —"
"Then have you ever wondered why I would travel thousands of miles to Kizil to pretend to be mute?" Lin Wanrong cut him off and said coldly.
"Because China and the Turks are at war —"
"China and the Turks, why are they at war?!" Lin Wanrong's face darkened. "Did the Chinese bully the Turks? Did the Chinese steal your things?! "
"Because, because —" The Little Khan stuttered and could not explain clearly. After all, he was only a five or six-year-old child. He had not formed many concepts of right and wrong, and needed others to instill them in him.
"Sarmu, I admire your concern for your sister. I also know that you don't want her to be hurt. " Lin Wanrong said coldly, "But, do you know how many of my brothers and sisters were killed when the Turks attacked China?! You don't want your sister to be hurt, but why do you want other people's brothers and sisters to be hurt?! "
"Little Khan, don't listen to him. He's lying to you, he's the one who hurt your sister!" Tusozo suddenly shouted in Turkic. Old Hu translated and Lin Wanrong flew into a rage. "Slap this son of a b * tch!"
Old Gao rushed forward and slapped Tusozo a few times. Tusozo fell heavily to the ground, his teeth and blood flying out.
The Little Khan raised his head stubbornly. "My sister has never told me what you've said, I don't believe you!"
The root of the problem was still Yu Jia! Lin Wanrong sighed. "Sarmu, you have eyes, why can't you see for yourself? From Wuyuan, Helan Mountains to Xingqing Prefecture, where are the traces of war? Where are the corpses of our China compatriots? Could this be fake? Wasn't this done by you Turks? "
The Little Khan thought about it and wanted to argue, but he could not speak. After a long while, he snorted and muttered to himself, "Then why didn't my sister tell me about this?"
Lin Wanrong knew that it was like writing on a piece of white paper. It did not matter who wrote it, the key was what was written.
"You can ask your sister yourself if there's a chance in the future." Lin Wanrong nodded.
The Little Khan's eyes widened in surprise. "Lin San, are you serious? I can really see my sister again?! "
"Of course, I'm not a bad person!" Lin Wanrong nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you! If there's a chance in the future, I'll bring you around to see how our Da Chinese play the zither and play the flute, write poems, paint, weave and sew, and build beams. I'll also teach you how to read and write, and let you see our Da Chinese's many wonderful picture books. Yes, they're all my favorites! "
High, it was simply too high! Old Hu and the others were dumbfounded. If the Little Khan learned how to play the zither, write poems, build and sew, and read color picture books under Sir Lin's personal guidance — would he still be able to lift his blade when he returned to the grasslands?!
"Lin San, you're slightly better than I imagined!" The Little Khan did not seem to hate him as much anymore. "Then let me ask you a question!"
"Yes, please!" Lin San had the kindest smile on his face.
The Little Khan looked at him sideways. "Do you like my sister?!"
