Damn, that chick Xiao Yuruo, what are you doing if you have nothing to say, isn't this destroying my relationship with Qiaoqiao? I also wondered how she suddenly changed her temperament and became friends with Qiaoqiao, but it turned out that she had other plans. Wasn't it just a little joke with her, this chick is too narrow-minded.
Speaking of Xiao Qingxuan's matter, Lin Wanrong felt that she was also responsible. After Qiaoqiao fell ill that day, he hadn't had time to tell Qiaoqiao about Qingxuan, but today Xiao Yuruo was the first to kick him out.
Seeing Qiaoqiao's tears falling more and more, Lin Wanrong felt distressed again, hugged her and said, "Silly girl, it's not that elder brother won't tell you, it's just that there are too many things in the middle, and I can't finish it for a few days and nights. Missy is right, Qingxuan is my wife, but didn't you start earlier?"
Qiaoqiao raised her head and said in a daze, "When did I start?"
Lin Wanrong pointed to his heart and said, "It's earlier to enter this door."
Qiaoqiao was happy and sad at the same time, but she couldn't avoid his sweet words, a faint blush appeared on her face.
But Lin Wanrong continued: "Qiaoqiao, have you forgotten that in the restaurant that day, I made an oath to heaven and made a covenant, if I betray you, I will-"
Qiaoqiao covered his lips and said with tears: "Brother, stop talking, Qiaoqiao knows it's wrong."
"Qiaoqiao, like Qingxuan, you are the most important person to me in this world. The oath I made that day was to treat you as my wife. What happened between me and Qingxuan happened after that. Speaking of which, she still wants to call you sister." Lin Wanrong held Qiaoqiao's hand and said.
Qiaoqiao blushed a little, and said softly: "Sister Qingxuan, she is older than me, so she should be my sister."
"Haha, it's all the same, it's all the same." Lin Wanrong let alone his complacency. He is considering whether to strike while the iron is hot. He also told Qiaoqiao about Yushuang, but Qiaoqiao said: "Brother, I heard that you and the second young lady of the Xiao family also—"
Damn, did Xiao Yuruo say this too? Is that girl crazy? Didn't she always firmly oppose Second Miss being with me? What does Qiaoqiao mean by saying this
Lin Wanrong was a little confused by Xiao Yuruo, and she was not allowed to touch her sister for a while. After a while, he told Qiaoqiao about it himself, what kind of tricks is this chick playing? No matter, it's rare to have such an opportunity, let's talk about Yushuang. Communicate with Qiaoqiao more.
Immediately, he briefly talked about his experiences with Qingxuan and Yushuang, Qiaoqiao sighed and said quietly: "Brother, elder sister Qingxuan is very capable and has deep affection for you, and the second miss is doing it for you. You don't even want your life, you can't let them down."
Lin Wanrong hummed, and Qiaoqiao burst into tears. He said softly: "Elder sister Qingxuan and the second young lady are both from wealthy families. They are noble and capable. Qiaoqiao has a meager life. How dare they compare with them. Big brother. Qiaoqiao will be a maid by your side in the future, serving you for the rest of your life , and I am satisfied."
Lin Wanrong was distressed and annoyed at the same time, that girl Xiao Yuruo, what are you doing talking about these things with Qiaoqiao? Really killed by her.
Lin Wanrong hurriedly hugged Xiao Nizi and said: "Qiaoqiao, don't you know how big brother is? What kind of wealth and status are nonsense, and I have nothing. I like you little girl, and you It's not about your status, what are you going to do with them? How about this? After Qingxuan Yushuang enters the door, you can take care of them."
Qiaoqiao shyly waved her hands and said: "No, brother, I can't do it, I'd better let them control me, I will definitely listen to the two sisters."
Lin Wanrong snickered in her heart, knowing that Xiao Nizi would say that, she really loves this girl to death.
"Don't worry, you are my little baby. No one can take care of you except me." Lin Wanrong whispered in Qiaoqiao's ear. With these words, Xiaonizi obediently surrendered and snuggled up happily. Big brother's arms.
Leaving Qiaoqiao in the restaurant, Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh, coaxing this little girl to be obedient is really not easy, it is more laborious than fighting with the bandits of the White Lotus Sect.
The carriage continued to drive northward along the road, and it took less than half an hour to reach the end.
Without Qiaoqiao's company, Lin Wanrong naturally lost a lot of patience, so he said to the man driving the car: "What's your name?" He went to take care of Luo Yuan alone, which shows that this person is by no means simple.
"Mr. Lin, I'm called Gao Shou." The man replied.
Master? I'm dizzy, there is someone more shameless than Lao Tzu who claims to be a master? It is really rare.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Brother, I know you are a master. I just asked for your first and last name, so it will be convenient for me to address you in the future."
The man smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, I'm not telling lies. My surname is Gao, the first name, and the first rank. The title was given by my parents, and I can't change it. I made you laugh."
Lin Wanrong laughed loudly and said, "That's interesting. Brother Gaoshou, you are indeed a master, but your father Lingtang is the master of masters."
Isn't that right? Giving your son such a name will take advantage of others when he is born. His father should be called Gao Gaoshou.
Gao Shou said with a smile: "I have lived for more than 30 years, but I have also been a master for more than 30 years. Even if I lose my life tomorrow, it is worth it."
The two of them laughed out loud as they talked. Lin Wanrong also had a good impression of this bold and high-ranking expert, so he got out of the car, squeezed in front of him, and sat on the shaft of the car, saying, "Brother Gao, I'm alone in the car." People are also boring, come and talk to you."
Gao Shou saw that he was straightforward and heroic, although he was a little servant, he was quite right for his own taste, so he smiled heartily: "As long as Mr. Lin doesn't dislike me as a tall and rough person, I will naturally welcome him."
Seeing the carriage going straight away, Lin Wanrong asked, "Brother Gao, where are we going?"
Gao Shou said: "Master Luo asked me to invite you to go to Xiaguan in the north of the city."
"Xiaguan? Master Luo asked me to go there for what?" Lin Wanrong wondered, that place is not close, why go there
"I don't know about this, young master, I'd better go ask your lord in person later." Gao Shou said with a smile.
Lin Wanrong knew that Gao Shou would not tell him, or that he didn't know the reason at all, so he didn't ask.
See Gao Shou driving the chariot and driving the horse very skillfully. Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Brother Gao, you are not only excellent in martial arts, but also in horsemanship. If my guess is correct, you must not be a native of Jinling."
This is pure nonsense, listening to Gao Shou's authentic northern accent. Even the deaf man knew he was from the north.
Gao Shou nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, my ancestral home is Cangzhou, Hebei."
"Cangzhou? It's a good place, the hometown of martial arts, no wonder Brother Gao is so good at kung fu." Lin Wanrong's flattery was unaware. Gao Shou heard it very comfortably. Cangzhou was indeed a famous hometown of martial arts in his previous life, but he didn't know if there was any change in this world.
Gao Shou said happily, "Mr. Lin also knows about Cangzhou?"
Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "Of course I've heard of such a famous place. The folk customs in the north are tough, and they love martial arts and riding and archery. I saw that Brother Gao is not only good at martial arts, but also proficient in riding, which is even better than that of Jiangsu. The commander made the fine cavalry in the cavalry battalion much stronger, so I knew that brother Gao must be from the north."
The high-ranking official smiled disdainfully and said: "Jiangsu Buqiying Camp? How can those soft-footed crabs compare with my son from the north? Cheng De, the commander of the capital of Jiangsu, is an out-and-out fool. I'm afraid it has been deposed long ago."
Lin Wanrong never loses money in doing things. Talked to Gao Shou for a long time, and flattered him a few times, if he didn't get some valuable news in exchange, he would lose money.
Hearing what Gao Shou said, Lin Wanrong chuckled, but he didn't ask too much, pretending to be curious: "Brother Gao, why is this? I saw that the Jiangsu infantry camp had bright swords and guns, majestic and magnificent. ah."
"Mr. Lin. A layman watches the fun, and an insider watches the way. Cheng De's idiot, relying on the support of Prince Youcheng, is domineering in this south of the Yangtze River. His three battalion soldiers are notoriously muddy. The wall, the princes and ministers in the capital and the court servants all know it. It's not that I underestimated this Jiangnan soldier. If we say that reciting poems is right, we can't compare with this Jiangnan talent. I can only scare the little thieves. If they are really allowed to go to the north to defend against those fierce barbarians, I am afraid that they will collapse in a moment. There is a saying among our brothers, it is better to be a wandering ghost in the north than to be a scholar in the south of the Yangtze River Soldiers. That's the reason."
Lord Cheng? This is Cheng De's backer? The name of Prince Cheng was also mentioned by Luo Yuan that day. It is said that the relationship between him and the current Emperor Dahua was somewhat dirty in the past because of the throne, but he did not expect that the person behind Cheng De was actually him.
Damn, Lao Luo, you old fox, you are backed by Dahua's most powerful prince, who is behind you? Don't hurt me.
This high-ranking head is called "Master", but in front of Lin Wanrong, he is a big underhand. He has wiped out his background unconsciously, but he still treats him as irresistible. Lin Wanrong said in his heart, pick up girls, make friends, Few people in the world can match Lao Tzu's skills.
Although Lin Wanrong doesn't quite agree with Gao Shou's views that are discriminatory from hell, he has to admit that what he said makes sense. This is a tradition of southern culture and northern martial arts. The strength of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed somewhat different from that of soldiers in the north. It is no wonder that when she first saw Qingxuan, she would express such emotion.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "People, old and young, regardless of the place, north or south, are all Chinese compatriots. It is the responsibility of the whole people to fight against the barbarians. How can there be a distinction between the north and the south?"
Gao Shou laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Lin, what you said is so true. I really admire it. You are in Jinling City, but you are quite different from the talented scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. You are bold and capable. No wonder Mr. Luo I value you so much."
Lin Wanrong smiled, and said casually: "Then you can regard me as a northerner. By the way, Brother Gao, when you were working in Beijing, were there more northerners or southerners among your colleagues?"
"I was in the palace in the past, but the northerners dominated. Most of the guards in the palace were—" He said this, and Mu Ran was surprised: "Mr. Lin, you—"
He is not too stupid after all, this Mr. Lin has been around for a long time, but he has been telling his own words, he smiled wryly: "Mr. It's scheming, but it's far from you."
Lin Wanrong didn't care about his sarcasm at all. He laughed and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Gao, don't care. In fact, I already knew that you were the emperor's guard. Between me and Mr. Luo, what else can we not say?" of? Don’t you think so?”
This was pure blackmail. Lin Wanrong's words were all about hidden agencies, and he secretly arranged for Luo Min to join him. He fell into it countless times without knowing it. If Luo Min was present, after hearing Lin Wanrong's words, he would definitely jump up and curse, you little fox.
Seeing what Lin Wanrong said, Luo Min had already told him, so Gao Shou immediately admitted: "Mr. Lin is really powerful. I used to be one of the emperor's personal guards. Later, Lord Luo came to Jinling, and the emperor sent a Let us follow."
Lin Wanrong let out a long breath, it seems that what Luo Yuan said today is true, the old man Luo Min is indeed favored by the emperor. But even if you are a minister of power, if you want to fight the honest prince, you are still close, Lao Luo, you have to be strong.
At the moment, Lin Wanrong stopped using scheming, and started talking with Gao Shou openly. Both of them have a wide range of friends and knowledge, and Lin Wanrong is full of nonsense, human geography, mountains and rivers, and can speak freely. That Gao Shou admired him even more, this Mr. Lin is not only deceitful, but he actually has some experience, it is really worth paying attention to.
It was a long journey in the carriage, but Lin Wanrong was not in vain. He had a better understanding of the backgrounds of Luo Min and Cheng De, and gained a lot.
He was still in deep thought, but he heard Gao Shou calling beside him: "Young Master Lin, we are here."
Lin Wanrong raised his head hastily, and before he had time to look at it, he heard a crisp voice saying, "Brother Lin, you are here!"
He heard the reputation and looked around, only to see a beautiful woman standing not far away, wearing a light yellow shirt, with a slender figure, slim and graceful, like a fairy from the dust. With a smile on her face, she was looking at herself quietly, her appearance was very familiar, she was Luo Ning, the number one talented woman in Jinling.
