"Big brother, big brother..." Qiaoqiao hurriedly stepped out from behind the curtain, calling softly. But Lin Wanrong was in a hurry, and had already led Guo Wuchang out of the hatch, without even hearing her cry.
"Sister Ning, what should I do? Eldest brother didn't know what was urgent, so he hurried out of the door, and the matter here has not been explained yet." Qiaoqiao walked back into the room, sneaked a glance at Luo Ning and said.
Luo Ning seemed to have not heard her words, her expression was dazed, her face turned pale, and she didn't know what she was thinking. The servant girl came back in a hurry, and handed the scroll that Lin Wanrong wrote before leaving to Luo Ning's hand and said, "Miss, this is left by Mr. Lin."
Luo Ning hurriedly took the note and took a look, only to see that the handwriting was flamboyant and powerful, and a small poem had just finished writing two lines: "Furong is a lot of brocade, compare wings and Ming Yulu..."
Luo Ning gritted her teeth tightly, her eyes turned red, she mentioned the small script, and added two sentences after those two sentences: "??Humanity Yaochi Spring is like the sea, and the moon flies down a pair of birds."
This poem about the lotus tent and the mandarin duck handkerchief is considered complete. Luo Ning threw away the lower case, glanced at the poem, and suddenly fell down on the table, crying bitterly...
Everyone in the main hall saw that Miss Luo sent two things out, and they all saw that Miss Luo had a special liking for Lin San, and they were thinking of putting on a beautiful story about a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman, but Lin San, who just won the first prize, unexpectedly It was really surprising that Miss Luo was abandoned and left in a hurry. For a while, everyone talked about it, not knowing what happened.
Luo Min stood up, laughed and said: "You don't have to be surprised. Everyone must have seen the attitude of the young lady towards Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin's family has urgent matters to deal with, so he left in such a hurry. There is nothing wrong with it. In the future, old man The result of this matter will be reported to all the elders and elders in your hometown. Now that the poetry competition is over and the lights are on, today we will drink wine on the Qintan River. If you don’t get drunk, you won’t return. My lord, Mr. Cheng , My lords, please give this old man some face."
Seeing that the Governor came out to explain in person, and it was indeed the case when they thought about it, everyone let go of their hearts. Anyway, today’s excitement has been finished, and the rest is to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Qintan. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the cabin became lively again. up. Zhao Kangning and Cheng De exchanged glances. The two also sat down.
Lin Wanrong hurried out of the cabin, Young Master Biao followed behind him, and said anxiously: "Lin San, both my aunt and cousin Yuruo have had accidents, what should I do?"
Lin Wanrong said: "Master, don't worry, tell me the details."
Master Biao nodded and said, "Master Luo and Lord Fu Yin specially sent out invitations for today's poetry competition. All famous families in Jinling have received invitations, and our Xiao family is no exception. Due to some competitions, I came early I went out. My aunt and cousin said they would not arrive until later in the day. But after waiting for a long time, there was still no one. I was wondering, but someone came to report that someone had found my cousin and aunt in the city They were riding in the carriage, but the two of them disappeared. From what they looked like, they might have been kidnapped. Lin San, what should we do? You must find a way to save your cousin and aunt..."
Lin Wanrong was furious when he heard that, damn it. What is this called? I have only been away for a few days, and these two people were robbed. It doesn't count if you rob the eldest lady, even the wife is taken away, once these two go, the Xiao family will fall apart. Why does this person have a grudge against the Xiao family
"When Missy and Madam went out, didn't they bring a servant?" Lin Wanrong asked.
"Bringing Xiao Feng and Xiao Cui, but the two of them were beaten unconscious, and after waking up, they couldn't remember anything. Lin San, who do you think is against us? They acted so viciously?"
knocked out? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, if someone seeks revenge, such as that of the White Lotus Sect, they would definitely kill them on sight, and no one will be left alive, but this villain beat Xiao Feng and the two unconscious, what was his intention? He originally wondered if it was Zhao Kangning and Cheng De who did it, but with Xu Wei's character, his calculations must be thorough, Cheng De and others must have been secretly monitored by Xu Wei, and they would not be given such a chance. In this way, where are the thieves doing evil
The two chatted at the bow of the boat. The boat was originally in the Qintan River, and the surrounding flower boats had already gone far away. After waiting for a long time, they didn't even see a ferry boat.
Lin Wanrong thought of meeting Du Xiuyuan and Hu Bugui during the day, and suddenly realized, ouch, Xu Wei and Luo Min, the two old foxes, are probably going to attack Cheng De, and it will be tonight. Right now, the water surface of the Qintan River may have been blocked long ago.
Thinking of this, I became more and more anxious. Damn, I can't get out of Qintan River, where can I find the two young ladies? Two weak girls, born like flowers and jade, fell into the hands of thieves. If they can't find anyone after tonight, then all day lilies will be cold. This chick Xiao Yuruo is also the same, if she gets awkward for no reason, when we meet again, I will definitely give her a good spanking to make her remember.
"Boat, boat, Lin San, a boat is coming." Young Master Biao suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted.
Lin Wanrong hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger. At this time, the lights were just on and the water surface was misty. A small wooden boat came from a distance, and the two people on board were waving to Lin Wanrong.
"Brother Hu, Brother Du..." Lin Wanrong shouted happily when he saw the two shadows.
Hu Bugui and the two speeded up their rowing, and they reached the foot of the boat in a short while. Before the wooden boat stopped, Lin Wanrong jumped off and landed in the middle of the boat. Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan supported him by one arm, and shouted: "General Lin, you miss us so much."
Lin Wanrong excitedly said: "Both brothers, I miss you too. Where are the brothers, how are the brothers?"
Hu Bugui laughed and said, "They're very good, they're all hiding around here, and they're going to do something big tonight."
As expected, Lin Wanrong nodded secretly. Now that he is no longer in the army, Hu Bugui even told all these secrets. The friendship and trust between life and death are by no means comparable to others.
With tears in his eyes, Du Xiuyuan said: "General Lin, that bastard Tong Cheng fired a cannon behind his back that day, and my brothers thought you (you...) Later, I have more than ten thousand brothers from the right army. I went to find Tong Cheng desperately. If Marshal Xu didn't stop him, We already chopped up that Tong land and fed it to bastard."
Hu Bugui said: "So what if he wasn't beheaded? I sent Xu Zhen to lie in ambush on the road. He shot through his head with just one arrow, so that's a good deal for you bastard."
Lin Wanrong hugged the arms of the two and said gratefully: "Thank you two big brothers, Lin is very grateful."
"General Lin, how did you get out of the tens of thousands of artillery fire that day? We all thought you were seeing the fierce artillery fire..." Du Xiuyuan sighed.
"Alas..." Hu Bugui cut him off and said, "General Lin is blessed with a great life, and he won't be killed by traitors so easily. I, Hu, already knew it. How about it. I'm not bragging."
Lin Wanrong sighed and said, "It's been a complicated experience, and it's hard to explain it in one word. Let's talk about it with the two big brothers later."
Hu Bugui nodded and said, "That's right. The days are long. General Lin, Marshal Xu and the brothers are waiting for you, let's go and see him."
Lin Wanrong nodded and took Guo Wuchang to board the boat, while Hu Bugui rowed. The boat went straight on. When they arrived at the shore, they saw that the guns and guns on the shore were brightly lit. It was actually Xu Wei who led thousands of people to greet him in person.
"Brother Lin, I see you again!" Before landing, Xu Wei's voice came from afar. It was the first time that Young Master Biao saw Xu Wenchang, a model scholar in this world, his hands trembled slightly, and his legs trembled a little.
Lin Wanrong cupped her fists and said, "Mr. Xu is worried."
The boat had reached the shore, and a few people jumped off the boat. Xu Wei took Lin Wanrong's hand and said, "It's not because I'm worried, but this old man is sincerely thanking you, Brother Lin. Brother Lin has made great contributions to the battle of the White Lotus Sect. Everyone knows that the thousands of households you promoted are also loyal generals with merit and ability, you have made meritorious deeds and cultivated people, how can I not thank you?"
Lin Wanrong said haha, this old man thinks highly of me, but what's the use of just saying a few nice words, it's better to give some money as a reward.
Xu Wei looked him up and down, and said after a long time: "Brother Lin, you didn't suffer any harm during the tens of thousands of gunfire that day. If the little brother is injured in any way due to the fault of the old man, the old man will not be at peace for the rest of his life."
"Well, I'm not injured at all, but I'm dizzy from the shock of the cannon. I can't sleep at night and have nightmares. Sometimes I vomit a little blood. Others are normal. The doctor said, use more good tonics, and the baby will be raised. Thirty years, that's about the same."
Xu Wei listened to his nonsense and didn't care about it. He smiled slightly and said, "Brother Lin has devoted himself to our Dahua community, and he will not hesitate to risk himself, fight against the enemy chieftain, the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, and shoot her to death in the artillery fire. His spirit is really a model for the soldiers of our armed forces. I will definitely report it to the emperor and reward him heavily."
The old man deliberately made fun of me, even though Lin Wanrong was extremely thick-skinned, he couldn't help feeling a little hot. But since Xu Wei pretended to be ignorant of the truth, he was so happy that he was confused, he laughed dryly and said, "Master Xu, are you going to do it today?"
"That's right. I've been in the south of the Yangtze River for a while, and there are many things to be done in Beijing. This Jiangsu matter is the last battle of my trip to the south of the Yangtze River. After I've dealt with it, I'll go back to Beijing to report to the emperor." Xu Wei looked He glanced at Lin Wanrong: "Brother Lin, if it was you who happened tonight, how should you deal with it?"
Damn, you are an expert in playing politics, and you still come to ask me, didn't you mean to make fun of me. Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "My little brother is not good at this kind of thing. Mr. Xu is probably the best at it. It is nothing more than evidence of guilt and a ruthless hand. Mr. Xu must have already arranged it. Why do I have to point fingers at the side? "
Xu Wei nodded and sighed: "Brother Dong is a born smart person. This evidence of guilt and ruthlessness is the key to strife in the officialdom. Many people have spent their lives but have not learned the key. The little brother just tells the truth. If you want to Officer, I am afraid that there is no one in the world who can match you."
Too lazy to listen to him fooling around, Lin Wanrong said: "Xiao Ke is waiting for good news from Mr. Xu about tonight's matter. Oh, and one more thing, since Mr. wants to do something, he must have already started monitoring Cheng De and others. I don't know if they have any news today. Abnormal, has anyone been kidnapped?"
Xu Wei shook his head slowly: "I am indeed spying on Cheng De and his subordinates, but I haven't seen any changes from him today. What's the matter? Brother Lin, why do you ask this?"
Lin Wanrong told Xu Wei about Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao being kidnapped. Xu Wei was shocked and said, "How dare such a thing happen? Who dares to kidnap Miss Guo? Are you not afraid of killing the Nine Clans?"
Captive Mrs. Xiao to punish the Nine Clans? Just kidding! Lin Wanrong shook his head, counting his fingers, the people who have enmity with the Xiao family are nothing more than two factions. One is Prince Ning and others who have repeatedly tried to coerce them, and the other is the White Lotus Sect. Zhao Kangning, Cheng De and others were under Xu Wei's nose, so naturally they couldn't play any tricks, while the other faction, the White Lotus Sect, had long been wiped out, leaving only two "remnants" who were alive and well.
The rest of the party? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, and then recalled all the robbery of the eldest lady's mother and daughter, and suddenly realized something in his heart, and said loudly: "Mr. Xu, please prepare a fast horse for me..."
Seeing his anxious expression, Xu Wei didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly ordered loudly: "Prepare a fast horse for General Lin. If you don't return, you will lead another thousand elite horsemen to follow General Lin's command. Rescue Mrs. Xiao intact."
Lin Wanrong couldn't listen to his many arrangements for a long time. When the fast horse arrived, he didn't even care about Guo Wuchang. He got on the horse, and the driver gave a loud shout. When the whip was urged, he flew towards the edge of Xuanwu Lake like an arrow leaving the string. Straight away.
Hu Bugui led a thousand cavalry and followed closely behind him. The sound of horseshoes broke the silence of Jinling City.
Arriving at the edge of Xuanwu Lake, Lin Wanrong dismounted from his horse, only to see the misty waves on the lake, where there was no sign of a cruise ship.
"Xian'er, Xian'er...," Lin Wanrong shouted loudly towards the lake.
The waterfowl living in the clump flapped their wings and flew up, the lake became more empty and quiet, and Xian'er's painting boat was hidden somewhere.
"General Lin..." Hu Bugui led a thousand cavalry galloping towards him, hurriedly got off his horse, and said loudly, "The last general will obey the command of the general."
Lin Wanrong waved his hand and said, "Brother Hu, lead your brothers to row a small boat to this Xuanwu Lake to find a painting boat. If there are people on the boat, just say..."
Before he finished speaking, Hu Bugui pointed to the lake and said, "General, is this the boat?"
Lin Wanrong looked up, and saw a huge painting boat slowly approaching the lake, and a woman with picturesque features was standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the shore and smiling
