"What happened?" Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth and said, "Did you die?!"
Xu Wei was so angry that he almost fainted, this kid can't say something nice? Dare to say anything! He shook his head and smiled wryly: "Brother Lin, you can't talk nonsense, you will beheaded. Anyway, don't ask, just follow me." The two of them went out, and there was already a carriage outside Waiting, Xu Wei dragged him into the car without saying a word, his expression was extremely solemn, and he could tell at a glance that something serious had happened.
Something happened to the emperor, why is Lao Xu so anxious to drag me there? Lin Wanrong asked several times, but Xu Wei looked solemn and shook his head without answering. The carriage drove in a hurry and headed out of the city. Lin Wanrong lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it. He had walked this road before, heading towards Xiangguo Temple. I remembered Xu Wei said this morning that the old emperor went to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense. Could it be that something happened to him in Xiangguo Temple? This old emperor can't die, he is Xian'er's father and my father-in-law, if he dies, King Cheng becomes the Daoist, and I will be done with Master Lin.
Thinking wildly in my heart, the carriage has arrived at the foot of the Xiangguo Temple. Today's Xiangguo Temple is different from the past. There are many soldiers along the way, with a post at three steps and a sentry at five steps. Killing spirit. The closer you get to the gate of Xiangguo Temple, the stricter the guards will be. Countless soldiers look solemn and watch everyone vigilantly.
Lin Wanrong hastily pulled Xu Wei's sleeve: "Master Xu, what happened to the emperor, please tell me quickly, alas, I think the situation is not very good!"
Xu Wei looked out and saw that he had arrived in front of Xiangguo Temple, so he said solemnly: "Brother Lin, you have to promise me. What you saw today must not be revealed to the outside world, otherwise, not only you and I will lose our lives." , even I, Dahua, might be caught in a war!"
Leak a fart, I haven't seen anything yet, and I can't vent if I want to. Seeing that Xu Wei's face was more rigorous than ever, and he described the situation so seriously, he could only nod his head: "Mr. Xu, don't you believe me? Speak out."
Xu Wei's face turned pale, his expression haggard, and he sighed: "Brother Xu, the emperor has been assassinated!"
Assassinated? ! Lin Wanrong grabbed Lao Xu: "How is this possible? The old man told me a few days ago that he was closely guarded and told me not to worry. How could he be assassinated today? Lao Xu, don't fool me."
Xu Wei smiled wryly and said: "When is this, how dare I joke with you about such a thing. This morning, the emperor was burning incense in the Xiangguo Temple, when he was suddenly attacked by more than a dozen dead men. They were hiding in the belly of the Golden Buddha, When the emperor kowtowed, he took advantage of the slackness of the guards and suddenly rushed out, the emperor he-" Xu Wei's eyes turned red, and he couldn't continue speaking with sobs.
"The emperor—he's dead?!" Lin Wanrong murmured, his face full of disbelief, and his whole body turned cold. The old emperor is dead? ! ! How could he just die like this? You were still threatening and teaching me to look for you yesterday, why are you gone today? I haven't just become a son-in-law yet, it's so unreasonable.
Seeing that he was stunned, Xu Wei hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, don't panic, the situation is unclear now. I don't know whether the emperor is alive or dead."
Lin Wanrong was heartbroken when he heard this, and hurriedly raised his head and said, "Master Xu, are you playing with me? You called me here, why don't you even know whether the emperor is alive or dead? Those assassins suddenly came out of the belly of the Buddha statue , and there are not many guards around the old man, so isn't that bad luck?" [Heaven's Kiss Hand Slap]
"I don't know the specific situation. Both Li Tai and I follow the orders of Eunuch Gao. Li Tai mobilizes troops and seals off the capital, and I will call you here. All the royal doctors in the palace are here. Let's see what Eunuch Gao is doing. His face, the emperor's condition is probably—" Xu Wei paused for a moment, but did not continue, but the meaning in his words was undoubtedly revealed.
Lin Wanrong squeezed her fist tightly, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart. He had not been in contact with the old emperor for a long time, and the old emperor used intimidating, luring, intimidating and defrauding him with countless tricks, but he couldn't develop any hatred for this old man, even he himself felt strange. An old emperor in his dying years, in the eyes of outsiders, is cowardly, incompetent and incompetent, far inferior to the suave King Cheng, but these are just superficial. When it comes to forbearance and perseverance, ten kings of Cheng are not the same as the old emperor. The opponent, who is the real hero, has been proven twenty years ago, but some people can't understand it.
Lin Wanrong was deeply moved, but he saw a white-haired old general walking opposite him, wearing a sword and armor, very mighty and majestic, it was the general Li Tai.
"Old general, what's the matter?" Xu Wei asked anxiously as he rushed forward to meet him.
Li Tai shook his head solemnly: "All the imperial doctors are inside, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. There has been no news, and I don't know what happened to the emperor."
Xu Wei glanced at Lin Wanrong, outsiders are not allowed in, so what is Lin San doing here
"Old General, how is the situation in Beijing? Have you noticed any changes?" Lin Wanrong asked suddenly, with an extremely solemn expression on his face.
"After the old man got the news, he immediately led his troops to block the four city gates, only allowed to enter but not to exit. At present, the news is temporarily closed, and there is no change in the capital. Lin San, what do you think, tell me quickly !” Li Tai said in a deep voice. The Li family has been in the army for generations, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and has a high prestige in the army. As long as Li Tai is in charge, there will be no major disturbances in the capital. Lin Wanrong is quite relieved about this.
Lin Wanrong took two steps slowly, and said with a frown, "Right now, the envoys of Turks, Dongying, and Korea are all in the capital, and there are many forces in the capital, and the emperor was assassinated suddenly. Is there any connection between this?"
Xu Wei and Li Tai were surprised at the same time. Lin San was right. Among the three countries, Turkic and Dahua are about to go to war. Dongying has always coveted Dahua. Even the weakest Goryeo has become disobedient in recent years. However, if they join forces to deal with Dahua and send assassins to assassinate the emperor, it is not impossible.
"I'll send someone to keep an eye on them." Li Tai said hastily, and was about to turn around and leave when Lin Wanrong said, "Old General Li, wait a moment."
Li Tai stopped and looked at him, Lin Wanrong pondered and said, "Whether they did it or not is still uncertain. But since these assassins dare to do it, they are naturally not ordinary people. Brothers under the old general, fighting on the battlefield You are a good man, but I am afraid it will be difficult to do this interception. In my opinion, it is better to sit on the sidelines and wait for them to show their feet."
"Wait for the rabbit?!" Xu Wei heard it strangely, and asked, "How to wait for the rabbit?"
"Mr. Xu, think about it. You and Old General Li are the emperor's right-hand men. Even you don't know whether the emperor is alive or dead. Will others know?" Lin Wanrong said in a deep voice.
"Both General Li and I don't know, and it's impossible for outsiders to know." Xu Wei nodded: "Brother Lin, what do you think, please tell me."
"You want to know the emperor's safety, but there are people who are more anxious than you. As long as you two block the news, drink tea and drink as usual every day, within a few days, someone will show their feet."
Xu Wei and Li Tai glanced at each other, what Lin San said made sense, instead of looking for a needle in a haystack to find the assassin, it would be better to let them show their true colors.
"Lin San, what are we going to do now?" Li Tai said: "If the old man seals the city gate for too long, I'm afraid it will cause rumors and gossip, which will be bad for us."
Lin Wanrong smiled slightly and said, "Old General Li, if you believe me, remove all the guard posts around the city gate. Since the thieves are here to assassinate them, they are already fully prepared. Blocking the city gate will not help, On the contrary, it will cause unnecessary panic. I suggest that some troops should be kept around the Xiangguo Temple, and the remaining soldiers and horses should be withdrawn. In addition, more capable people should be secretly sent to guard around the emperor's room to ensure that everything is safe. Others, what to do What's the matter, General Li continues to train soldiers, Master Xu handles the government affairs, and the two adults go about their own business, just pretend that this has never happened."
Xu Wei clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this is called playing hard to get. Old general, what do you think?!"
Li Tai nodded: "Okay, let's do it like this. Lin San, I have left tens of thousands of sons stationed in the back mountain, and they are all under your command. This is the seal."
As Li Tai said, he stuffed a small seal into his hand, Lin Wanrong was about to refuse, but Li Tai stared at him and said: "A good man should be a gold-armed horse, a blood-bathed battlefield, how can a mother-in-law like you take on such a big responsibility? "
This old man really has a lot of vigor! Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly, took the seal in his hand, Li Tai showed a smile on his face, took big strides, and hurried away.
Xu Wei nodded, and said seriously: "Brother Lin, the old general really thinks highly of you. He will fight against the barbarians in the future. I hope you can take care of me, Dahua."
"Don't say that you can't share your worries." Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly: "Let's see what to do with the situation in front of us. The emperor's life and death are unknown. Are we going to wait here forever?"
Xu Wei shook his head, indicating that there was nothing I could do. Looking at his gray hair flying in the wind, Lin Wanrong couldn't help smiling. Fortunately, there are pillars like Lao Xu and Li Tai who can withstand the sky of Dahua. For a lazy profiteer like me, Dahua will be miserable.
"Lord Lin, Lord Lin—" A shrill and anxious voice sounded next to his ear: "Your Majesty, please come in!"
