Want to go? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a while: "Where are you going?"
The second young lady's expression was gloomy, she lowered her head and said: "Mother is going back to Jinling, and my sister is still trying to persuade us, but she is very firm when we say it out loud."
"What are you doing back in Jinling?" Lin Wanrong struggled to sit up, but there was an ouch. There was severe pain in his leg. Xian'er and Qingxuan hurriedly pushed him down, and Miss Xiao said judoly: "Such a serious injury, why don't you feel uneasy? Just lie down and listen to sister Yushuang, Madam is eager to leave, there must be a reason."
"That's right," Lin Wanrong grinned and said with pain: "The eldest lady and the second lady are both in the middle of the capital, and the madam is living happily here, so why go back to Jinling? There is no one to talk to her, and it is very lonely to be alone. .”
Yushuang hummed, frowning: "My sister and I also persuaded in the same way, but my mother said that our Xiao family's roots are in Jinling. No matter how good the capital is, it is not a place for her to stay for a long time. It has been a while since she said it. , It’s also time to go back, last night she wrote the book to Cousin Guo overnight, and asked him to go to Beijing in the starry night to discuss the rebuilding of the store in Beijing.”
Rooted in Jinling? Lin Wanrong looked at the girls around him, Qiaoqiao, Xian'er, Qingxuan, Miss Er, who didn't they meet in Jinling? It's normal for Madam to have a family and a business there and have lived there for many years. But why did she choose to leave at this most noisy and chaotic place? Now that the Xiao family is in great turmoil in Beijing, it is the time when they need her the most.
Mrs. Xiao is not an ignorant person. She has her own reasons for returning to Jinling at this time. Lin Wanrong thought for a long time before comforting herself.
The second lady put the chicken soup aside, held his hand, and sobbed softly: "Mother said, this time you were seriously injured, it was because she insisted on going her own way that she killed you. Jinling, bad guy, I can see that my mother has a lot of pain in her heart, but she doesn't want to tell me and my sister. You are the person she values most, please go and persuade her. Let her stay in Beijing and be with us. Together. OK?"
I go to persuade? Lin Wanrong smiled wryly. He understood Madam's character very well, and was persistent and strong. He was three points more stubborn than Xiao Yuruo. He decided the matter. I'm afraid no one can change it.
"Master, just try it." Qin Xian'er spent a few days with Mrs. Xiao, and her relationship grew deeper, and she was also very reluctant to part with her.
Lin Wanrong sighed, and said helplessly: "You can try it, but I'm afraid it won't be of much use. If Madam loses her temper, I will respect her three points."
Dare you disrespect her on weekdays? The elder sisters and younger sisters in the room all smiled when they heard his interesting talk, and the heavy atmosphere dissipated a lot.
"Qiaoqiao, you help me. I'll go see my wife, if it's later. After she's packed up, I'm afraid I won't be able to say anything." Lin Wanrong thought for a while.
The women in the room were taken aback, and Miss Xiao said angrily, "How can you go out like this? Mrs. Xiao is not a heartless person. If she wants to go back to Jinling, she will definitely come to say goodbye to you."
"That's right." Seeing that he was so impatient, Yushuang also felt distressed, and hurriedly said: "Mother is busy in the kitchen at this time. It's not the time to talk. When she has a rest, she will come to see you."
Being injured is troublesome, and nothing can be done. Lin Wanrong sighed bitterly and before he could speak, he heard a long wail from the courtyard: "Brother Lin, brother Lin, I was talking to you a while ago. , How could you just go like this—" The voice was choked up, and the cry was extremely miserable: "—It's rare to have a confidant in life, and it's not a gentleman's style for you to leave me alone! Why are you so cruel? Brother Lin , come back quickly, it hurts me too—"
There was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and then Side's tragic voice sounded: "Master Xu, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you? My condolences. Come quickly, Master Xu has fainted. Third brother , why did you just go—"
Lin Wanrong got goosebumps all over his body when he heard it. Please, brothers, you have to be more professional in acting, don't just howl. The suona, gongs and drums are played first, and the filial piety is put on first. Otherwise, how can everyone in Beijing know about it? I am dead? !
The ladies looked at each other, although they knew it was just a show. Just listening to the voice made people feel unhappy. The second lady pouted and snorted, "Si De is just chewing his tongue. He died. Good people don't live long, The bad guy has lived for thousands of years, and he doesn't even know that?!"
We all know that Xiao Yushuang is really cute, Miss Xiao and everyone can't help but laugh together, very happy.
Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji, Lin Wanrong smiled and touched Yushuang's bright red face so close at hand, it was like regaining the spot.
This room is full of female relatives. Seeing Xu Wei coming, he should avoid it. Xiao Qingxuan held Qin Xian'er's little hand and smiled softly: "Sister, you can take care of Lin Lang here. He likes to talk to you."
Miss Xiao's words are very knowledgeable, Qin Xian'er wanted to answer her a few words, but she didn't admit it, and she couldn't deny it, so she just lowered her head with a blushing face.
"Brother Lin," Xu Wei staggered in, his clothes covered with dust, his cheeks and beard covered with tears, crying bitterly: "What's wrong with you?! I'm not dead yet, you Spring and Autumn is in full bloom. Why did I go first? Where do you tell me to find a good friend like you? Oh, I don’t want to live anymore—”
Qin Xian'er was annoyed when she heard it behind the tent, hum
Said: "Master, why is this Xu Wei such a virtuous person? He is hypocritical, and his talent is in vain!" ! "
"He is such a person." Lin Wanrong said with a grin: "When I was in Jinling, he lied to me to attack your White Lotus Sect, and even called me a staff general, but in fact he was the leader of the army that transported grain and grass. I've been pawned by him a long time ago. Hey Mr. Xu—”
Qin Xian'er slowly opened the curtain, Xu Wei saw Lin San lying on the bed, wrapped like a rice dumpling, he backed up three steps in horror, his lips murmured for a long time, tearful and ecstatic said: : "Brother Lin. You, you are not dead?!"
This old man pretends to be real, and I won’t give you an award for a good performance. Lin Wanrong chuckled twice: "Look at what you said, can I call you after death? I won't do such immoral things. "
Xu Wei seemed to be in disbelief, approached him slowly, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and pressed on his body a few more times. It was warm and warm. "Oh," he was excited, and grabbed Lin Wanrong. Hands, old tears streaming down the cheeks, trembling excitedly: "Brother Lin, are you really not dead? Great, great. God bless me, Dahua."
This old man's hand strength is not small, don't you know that I am seriously injured? Why are you still acting so seriously when you are in the room? Lin Wanrong grinned his teeth and was about to speak, Si De sneaked into his ear and said: "Third Brother, when Miss Luo sent me to find Mr. Xu, she said that acting must be realistic. What should I do? Realistic? I thought about it, so I made up my own mind. When I went to report to Mr. Xu, I only said that you were dead, not that you were alive. He believed it, and wept all the way here. You see, he didn’t even have time to wear shoes How about wearing it, is this play still realistic?"
"You're a wise boy." Lin Wanrong scolded with a smile. He glanced again, as expected. Old Xu was pulling cloth shoes on one foot, and only wearing cloth socks on the other foot. He looked very embarrassed.
I misunderstood, I misunderstood, I didn’t expect Lao Xu to treat me so sincerely, Lin Wanrong felt ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly cupped his fists: "Mr. Move a stool."
"Oh, I can't help it. I killed the old man. Xu Wei pays homage to Princess Nishang." As Qin Xian'er, Xu Wei dared to be presumptuous. He hastily bowed deeply.
"Mr. Xu, don't be too polite. This is my Lin family's private residence, so there is no need to perform those formalities." Qin Xian'er waved his hands and smiled generously.
It was Side who moved the chair. Xu Wei was asked to sit down in front of Lin Wanrong's sick bed. Xu Wei sighed deeply, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Little brother, just now you sent your family to report the bad news, but you scared me to death. My big brother In such a disaster-stricken time like Hua, if you are not there, it will be beyond redemption."
Am I as important as you said? According to Lin Wanrong's temperament, he just wanted to joke a few words with him, but seeing the old man's hair full of hair, his temples frosted white, and old tears still staining his face, the affection was not fake, so he endured it.
"Little brother, you are making this play. But you want to lure the snake out of the hole?" Xu Wei is also an old man, seeing Lin San alive and well, he understands his thoughts.
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't get out of the hole, even if he doesn't, I'll beat him." Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth and said. He has always done things only to take advantage and not to suffer. This time not only he almost died, but also almost hurt Xiao's mother. Female. The anger in his heart is naturally difficult to calm down, if he doesn't get back the situation, then it's not Lin San's temperament.
Xu Wei said with a smile: "You scared me a lot. I have already sent someone to invite Li Tailai. The general thinks highly of you, so I don't need to say it. I'm afraid he's not as scared as I am right now. .I'll see you in good condition later, if he shows up stubbornly, he will surely punish me for the serious crime of lying about the military situation."
Seeing Xu Wei smiling happily, Lin Wanrong nodded and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Xu, what's going on at Xiangguo Temple? Is there any movement?!"
Hearing him talk about business, Xu Wei's expression suddenly became serious: "Brother Lin, as soon as I got the news of your accident that night, I knew that the situation was different, and surrounded Xiangguo Temple overnight. The army outside the city obeyed your order, They also retreated ten li. Sure enough, hundreds of dead men suddenly appeared in the southeast corner of the city that night—"
"Prince Cheng has escaped?!" Lin Wanrong turned pale with shock and felt remorse immediately.
"If he dares to run away, that's fine. The old man is worried that he can't find a reason to do it." Xu Wei's eyes flashed a murderous look, and he sneered.
"Not King Cheng?!" Lin Wanrong asked with a frown.
"It's the Japanese!" Xu Wei snorted, "These hundreds of dead soldiers were skilled in martial arts, and their methods were vicious. I killed three hundred soldiers before beheading them all. It's just that I didn't find anything useful inside. "
"Japanese people?!" Lin Wanrong was deeply puzzled: "They suddenly appeared for no reason. They didn't get anything. Could it be that they just sent the lives of a hundred dead men?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Xu Wei stood up and walked a few steps slowly: "They may want to test our defenses. Or they want to meet someone."
The Japanese suddenly appeared. What are they going to do? Plant dead soldiers in the hinterland of my Dahua. His heart is to be punished! Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth and snorted: "Master Xu, where is King Cheng? Where is he?"
"He is very quiet," Xu Wei laughed dryly, "he has been staying in Xiangguo Temple for the past two days to eat fast and worship Buddha. On the day of your accident, he even invited the emperor to
Get up and listen to the master's lecture in the abbot's room."
"The emperor has gone too?!" Lin Wanrong became more and more confused when he heard it. If King Cheng didn't take advantage of this chaotic opportunity to escape, what on earth was he going to do? Is it really repentance? Go to your grandfather's place. I was exposed to explosives at Xiao's house. Could it be that it fell from the sky? !
Xu Wei nodded: "He played the banner to pay homage to the late emperor and proclaim the Dharma. As the son of man, how could he not go? Knowing that the source of the Xiao family's accident was in the Xiangguo Temple, I surrounded it that night. , but the emperor is also in the temple, and an imperial decree came down, so I can't act rashly."
This King Cheng is really quite courageous. He was secretly playing tricks, and at the same time he was talking and laughing with the emperor. If this person is not eliminated, he will become a serious disaster. Lin Wanrong sneered: "Mr. Xu, in your opinion. What exactly is King Cheng going to do? With no soldiers and being surrounded by us, how could it really be so leisurely?"
"Leisure?" Xu Wei laughed, "I think it's true that he wants to escape. If the old man's prediction is correct, those hundreds of dead soldiers came to test our reality. If we were in a mess that day, maybe He has already fled to Hu Ying."
Lin Wanrong meditated silently. After a long time, he said: "Mr. Xu, what do you mean. He is playing tricks, and he is not trying to vote for a Japanese, but for a Hu?"
"Only in this way can we explain the purpose of those hundreds of dead men throwing themselves into the net. He just wanted to divert our attention." Xu Wei nodded in response.
Is that true? That King Cheng's tricks are as superficial as my deception! Lin Wanrong has always prided himself on being treacherous, but he couldn't figure out King Cheng's intentions, but there was one thing he could do. He laughed, with a murderous look on his face: "No matter where he goes, as long as we first If you do it, he has no chance at all. Mr. Xu, why don't we just—"
He made a gesture viciously, but it affected the injury on his leg. Immediately, there was an ouch, cold sweat began, and Qin Xian'er hurriedly massaged his temple lightly, and the pain eased a little. Just thinking of the culprit, the murderous aura in his heart became even stronger. Add some points.
"No." Xu Wei shook his head hastily: "Although King Cheng has great evil, he has never shown it to the public. The blood left by the previous emperor is only him and the emperor. He is also good at cheating and winning people's hearts, and he is quite prestigious in the court and among the people. At this time, the Great War in the North is approaching, and Dahua is in crisis. If there is no evidence and act rashly, at least it will arouse official resentment and public anger. Disturb the morale of the army, and at worst it will cause our Dahua to fall apart and fall apart. This matter must not be rash. .”
Lin Wanrong curled his lips when he heard what officials complained about, what disturbed the morale of the army. Although this Xu Wei was a man who had led soldiers, he was a bit bookish after all, and thought too carefully. Just seize the opportunity, even if you are notorious for a while, after ten or twenty years of stability and prosperity, who will remember what happened back then? Lin Wanrong is well aware of the truth of this. What's more, he is incompatible with King Cheng, waiting for King Cheng to attack, this is definitely not his character.
"Mr. Xu, what does the emperor say?" Seeing that Xu Wei was hesitant, Lin Wanrong did not argue with him, but asked softly. He had sufficient confidence in the old emperor. It's kindness and majesty, not to mention the King Cheng who has a different heart? He has endured for twenty years, waiting for this day, if he will wait and see what happens, I don't believe it if he is killed.
Xu Wei nodded: "Brother that day, after your accident, the emperor stayed in the study. In the middle of the night, there was a six-character command: give physical evidence, and the world is right."
Give physical evidence, is the universe right? Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Yes, yes, the old man thinks the same as me."
Xu Wei was puzzled and said: "This imperial decree is easy to understand, but the physical evidence is extremely difficult. King Cheng is as treacherous as a fox, how can he easily leave his feet. If there is physical evidence, don't let the emperor make a decree, the old man has already done it Why did it drag until today?"
Why has this old man become so stupid? He can’t even hear the emperor’s voice. Thanks to you who have been in the court for so many years. Lin Wanrong smiled slyly: "My Mr. Xu, what should I say about you, you This man is just too upright. That old fox doesn't show his feet. Don't you give him a trick?"
"I also know that I am too upright and not suitable for playing power." Xu Wei shook his head and sighed, his appearance was very upright.
This old man's skin is not much thinner than mine. Lin Wanrong laughed, told him to come over, and said a few words, Xu Wei was startled, and waved his hands again and again: "How can this be done? The old man has read the sage books for many years. Can I do such a thing? If people find out, I will be infamous forever."
"Don't worry. Mr. Xu is such an upright person, how could he come up with such a bad idea." Lin Wanrong waved his hands generously, and said with a smile: "Forget it on me, anyway, everyone knows that I have a bad intention. .”
Xu Wei shook his head and sighed, held back his smile, clasped his fists and said, "Little brother is very cunning. Working under your errand, this old man has gained a lot of knowledge. I just ask the sage to forgive me, this is not my idea."
Seeing the adulterous face of this old man, Lin Wanrong suddenly groaned, "Grandma, I was fooled, bad idea counts as mine, picks cheap and counts as others, this old man is not stupid, he is clearly pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!"
