Lin Wanrong nodded and hummed, and said with a smile: "I'm not sure, but according to my guess, they probably haven't escaped yet. Outside the city is densely covered with troops, and the surrounding area is densely packed. They can't leave even if they want to. Only the generals Only then will they have a chance.”
"I understand," Qin Xian'er clapped her little hands and said softly, "Your Excellency, you are planning to plan and deliberately make Xu Wei send troops and generals to search outside the city vigorously, making the commotion extremely loud, just to create an illusion. Let them mistakenly think that you have been fooled, and the formation surrounded by the army is chaotic, which is just an opportunity for them to take advantage of."
"Sure enough, you are worthy of being my little darling. After following my husband for so long, I have learned most of my intelligence." Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up, praising her and herself.
"I'm not ashamed." Miss Qin giggled coquettishly, and then she frowned slightly: "It's just that King Cheng is not a simple person, if he hides sincerely, how can we search for him? What if? Wouldn't it be bad for him to sneak out and make waves after the army goes north?!"
"Little boy, what you say is reasonable. But don't worry, nothing can escape the palm of your husband."
Heart." Master Lin slapped his chest on the ground, smiling very mysteriously.
Seeing his expression, Qin Xian'er knew that he had made up his mind. It's a pity that no matter what she begged, Lin Wanrong just smiled and shook her head, refusing to reveal anything. Miss Qin was so angry that he twisted his arm until it was black and blue. When she looked down, she felt distressed. endlessly.
After a long time of commotion in the palace, the sky was already dark. Lin Wanrong stayed up all night and was seriously injured. He yawned profusely and was extremely sleepy. Seeing that nothing happened, Qin Xianer was about to take him home to rest. Hearing the sound of ticking horseshoes in the distance, several fast horses came galloping, and in a short while they arrived at the steps of the palace. Walking at the front was Xu Wei with white hair and beard. It was dusty, its eyes were bloodshot, and the helmet was still glistening with dew.
"Brother," Xu Wei quickly jumped off the horse and walked in front of him. He cupped his fists with shame on his face, "I'm ashamed of myself, I ruined a big deal for my little brother."
Seeing the old man with gray hair and running around all night, Lin Wanrong couldn't bear to blame him, so he smiled and waved his hands and said, "Mr. Xu, how can we blame you, it's just that the opponent is too cunning, so we fell for him. Why? So, is there any result in the search outside the city?!"
"Brother came to make fun of me." Xu Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This old man's search is just a cover. It's for others to see, how can there be any results?"
It turned out that Lao Xu also thought the same as me. Lin Wanrong immediately became more confident, and said with a smile: "The more you do it for others to see, the more realistic it must be. You can just treat it as a monkey for others to see."
Miss Qin smiled when she heard it, and her taste changed when something came into Mrs. Xu's mouth. Xu Wei chuckled a few times, and said with emotion: "My little brother is the one who sees the truth. The old man is really unwilling, but fortunately there is still room for redemption."
How to recover? ! Qin Xian'er wanted to get some words out of Xu Wei's mouth, but he and Lin San looked at each other and laughed together, knowing each other's understanding.
"Brother, did you take that Gu Bingyan?!" After laughing for a while, Xu Wei suddenly remembered something. Frowning slightly, he asked in a low voice.
The person is Xu Zhen, who has nothing to hide from Lao Xu, Lin Wanrong nodded: "Take it!"
What's wrong? Is Gu Bingyan so powerful that Mr. Xu needs to mention it? ! "
Xu Wei nodded and sighed: "Gu Bingyan's identity. I think I know a thing or two about it. He studied with the emperor since he was a child, and he was hand-picked by the late emperor. The late emperor loved him very much. He heard that he even gave him a gift. Pass him the gold medal—”
"Gold medal for avoiding death?!" Lin Wanrong was stunned. Oh boy, this thing is terrible. It is a life-saving amulet. No wonder that Gu Di is so arrogant, I found the dragon robe gold crown and jade seal in the garden , I don’t see much fear, and even pointedly wanted to deal with me.
Qin Xian'er frowned lightly when she heard this: "Mr. Xu, does he really have the gold medal bestowed by the emperor to save him from death? Isn't it because the emperor can't do anything to him?!"
Xu Wei hummed: "When the late emperor was alive, the old man hadn't yet entered the court. I don't know whether the rumors are true or not. However, in the past, the late emperor and Mr. Gu Shunzhang were inseparable. Gu Bingyan also took this very seriously. Said that he was once recognized as a adopted son, if he was really given a gold medal to avoid death, it would not be a rare thing."
Damn, why didn't the old man tell me about such a big deal? Lin Wanrong vomited blood. If Gu Bingyan was really Xianer's grandfather and godson, wouldn't he be another prince? The old man is so dishonest that he even kept this matter from me.
Xian'er shook her head and said: "This matter is unbelievable, if grandfather recognized him as a adopted son, there will be records in the palace records, and he must have already been named a prince, and today he will not be easily taken down by Xianggong."
"Princess said that the earth is extremely true." Xu Wei nodded and said: "These are folk legends, and no one knows whether they are true or not. But since Gu Bingyan has been captured, these have to be considered. And Mr. Gu Shunzhang, his old man's prestige—"
"Wait, wait—" Lin Wanrong heard his head swell, and hurriedly interrupted him: "Mr. Xu, let me confirm one thing with you first. The Mr. Gu Shunzhang you mentioned, is he alive or not?" Already?!"
What is this called? Xu Wei trembled in fright, looked left and right, saw no one was around, then lowered his voice and said cautiously: "Brother Lin, you can't talk nonsense. Mr. Gu is the emperor teacher of my Dahua land, with high morals and great prestige. , His nature is pure and noble, the former emperor recruited him several times to entrust him with important tasks in the court, but he declined them all. His style and quality are admired by the whole world. Even people who have never read books have heard of his reputation. Mr. Gu He is seventy and two years old, but his legs and feet are healthy. His thinking is clear and his demeanor is even better than before. Even the emperor dare not make mistakes when he sees him. He should respectfully call him sir. Don't make people angry."
It's broken, it's broken, Lin Wanrong intuitively felt that something was wrong, if I took Gu Bingyan, wouldn't I just offend Gu Shunzhang? Wouldn't offending Gu Shunzhang be the same as committing public outrage? Grandma. Why didn't anyone notify me beforehand? !
He glanced at Xu Wei. He smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you are really worthy of me."
Ah, you knew that Gu Bingyan was standing in your way, but you didn't even tell me, you just waited to see my jokes, didn't you? ! "
"How dare an old man!!!" Xu Wei clasped his fists in fright. Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "Someone didn't want me to tell you—besides, I thought you had checked everything in the palace. Find out!"
Master Lin vomited blood, the old man is plotting against me, keeping such an important matter from me. What is he going to do
Seeing that his expression was unkind, Xu Wei knew what he was thinking, felt a little guilty, and secretly said: "Little brother, there are some things that I wouldn't dare to say even if I killed an old man. But you and I are inseparable, so I will give this life to you. You. It’s okay. The emperor told me not to tell you about Gu Bingyan’s affairs. He said, these are the obstacles you will encounter in the future. , but what to do next time. You will encounter such things many times in the future, and this is an opportunity to sharpen you."
Shit opportunity. I would rather not have such an opportunity. Lin Wanrong had a headache, but there was nothing he could do.
Seeing his embarrassment, Qin Xian'er couldn't help snorting: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Gu, even if Gu Shunzhang is the emperor's teacher, so what? You have evidence and evidence for Gu Bingyan, and everyone has witnessed it. How can you allow him?" Reverse the case? Besides, he is the emperor’s master, but you are also a son-in-law?! You are still a pair of son-in-laws. The honor of Dahua. Who can compare to you?! Xiao Di is extremely fond of you, you are our husband-in-law. To put it bluntly, even if you want this country, Father will give it to you! Why are you afraid of him?!"
Qin Xian'er dared to love and hate, and had a straightforward personality. Xu Wei stuck out his tongue secretly when he heard it. This princess in neon clothes really deserves to be raised in the White Lotus Sect, so she dares to say such outrageous things.
"Don't talk nonsense. Let Mr. Xu hear it and sue the emperor. Then everything will be over for me." Lin Wanrong laughed.
Xu Wei waved his hands in fright: "I didn't hear, I didn't hear anything! The princess, the son-in-law, and the servants have to go out of the city to perform official duties, so I'll leave first!" run away.
You ran fast, looking at Lao Xu's back, Master Lin snorted indignantly.
"Sir, do you want to be emperor?! If you want, I will talk to father, and the throne will be handed down to you in the future!" Miss Qin seemed to be in high spirits, her little face flushed with excitement, and she stretched her eyes. The ground eyelashes fluttered slightly, hugged his arm, and whispered.
This girl is really a landlord who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Lin Wanrong smiled wryly and shook his head, hehe said: "Xian'er, don't talk nonsense in the future if you don't talk about anything else, if there is a day, my Sangong Sixth Hospital Seventy-two concubines, are you willing to accept it?!"
"No!!" Unexpectedly, the face of the little vinegar pot changed suddenly, and the brows stood upright: "Don't even think about it! Are these sisters and sisters not enough for you to spoil?! Even my master-huh, if you do that These people. I will kill them all, and kill one when I see them, and leave no one behind!"
This girl's personality probably won't change in a hundred years, but if she changes, she might not be the little jealous person I like. Lin Wanrong laughed secretly, and held her little hand tightly.
"In this case," Miss Qin's voice softened, she leaned on his shoulder slowly, and murmured unwillingly, "Master, you better not be the emperor. It's not enough for us to accompany you together What—it's a pity to miss such a good opportunity!"
Seeing her contradictory and unwilling face, Lin Wanrong could only respond with a wry smile.
When we got back to the mansion, it was already daylight. Lin Wanrong was really tired after tossing around all night, and fell asleep on the bed with his head covered. I don't know how long it took, but in the dimness, he heard a woman lowering his voice outside the window. Voice from the ground: "Is he awake?!"
"Not yet. Eldest brother has not recovered from his serious injury, but he went out to do errands with his injury last night. He was so anxious that he just fell asleep now. Tell him to rest for a while." Another woman's voice sounded softly.
"He is such a restless person, sometimes he can drive people to death." The woman before said quietly: "I don't know what happened, such a clever person was injured by tricks. , I think he must have other things in his mind to let people get his hands. Ning'er, don't you think so?!"
Luo Xin said with gratitude: "Sister Zhiqing, I can't blame elder brother for what happened this time. Mrs. Xiao's family went to the temple to make a wish with good intentions, but she was tricked by evil people and suffered this crime. You are not at the scene, so I don't know The situation that day. When we were looking for Eldest Brother, he was still tightly protecting Mrs. Xiao with his body. His body was covered in blood, as if he was motionless like a blood man. I just took one look, and my heart was broken—"
Luo Ning was choked with sobs and couldn't continue. The soft weeping sound came slowly. Xu Zhiqing hurriedly comforted: "Ning'er, don't worry, isn't he all right?!"
Luo Ning hummed softly, and sighed: "Brother is simply fine. If something goes wrong with him, my life in this world is meaningless, so I have to follow him to be happy."
This girl... did it on purpose to impress me. Lin Wanrong's eyes were getting wet when she heard that. Xu Zhiqing sighed, her voice was a little twisted: "Ning'er, can I, can I—"
Luo Ning was puzzled and said: "Sister Zhiqing, just say what you have. Why are you being polite to me?!"
Ms. Xu hummed, and her voice became much quieter: "I... can I go in and have a look
he? ! Ah, you, don’t get me wrong, I’m just worried that he’s too seriously injured and will delay his trip to the north.”
Luo Ning wiped away the teardrops, and smiled: "Sister Zhiqing, you and elder brother have the same thoughts. When he first woke up, his mind was not clear. But he was still thinking about going north. If people don't know, they will think What agreement do you have?"
Miss Xu let out an ah. She shook her head hastily: "No, no—are you going to let me in or not?!"
Ning'er giggled coquettishly: "You sneaked in through the back door, and you didn't let me tell Sister Qingxuan, wouldn't it be too heartless if I didn't let you in to see him?! Go in quickly, what do you say, I will Promise not to eavesdrop!"
"Damn girl. What nonsense." Xu Zhiqing took a sip. There was no movement outside the house. After a while, the curtain outside the house was lifted slightly. A woman held her breath and walked in lightly. Her footsteps It was very light, almost inaudible, and in the silence, Lin Wanrong seemed to be able to hear her heartbeat.
When the woman came to his side, she stopped and sat down next to him, even breathing quickly. She looked at Lin San, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, with a pale face, chapped lips, and She lost her former style. She stood there blankly for a long while. She murmured, her voice trembling with a slight weeping sound: "You deserve it. I told you to be greedy and lustful, told you to bully others, told you to always be angry with me, told you to don't come to see me—"
Hearing her say the first two sentences, Lin Wanrong was still a little ashamed. Hearing the latter sentence, he almost laughed out loud. The logic of a woman is really beyond comprehension.
Just as he was feeling amused, he suddenly felt a few drops of water falling on his cheeks. Taking a sneak peek, he saw Xu Zhiqing's pretty cheeks stopped in front of him, her fragrant shoulders trembling. Two lines of crystal clear tears flowed down her cheeks. Her beautiful cheeks fell slowly, and she wept silently, just like a tree of pear blossoms blooming in the rain and dew in spring.
What's going on here? Lin Wanrong's mouth was dry, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say a word.
Xu Zhiqing didn't know that he had already woken up, and seeing him "sleeping" as before, felt unspeakably bitter, and sighed quietly: "I've never seen you so quiet, don't you want to bully people now? Are you with me?" Then what is the relationship between Mrs. Xiao's family, because of her, you don't even want your life?! Are you willing to be angry to death?!"
Lin Wanrong was sweating profusely. What is it all about? It was obviously a simple polar hero rescue operation. In your eyes, how did it become so unbearable? You don't care about your wife's reputation. Do you also care about my reputation? Am I that kind of person? !
Ms. Xu sighed softly, and muttered to herself: "I can't control you about your relationship with her—I'm not someone like you. Even to see you, I have to ask Ning'er for help, without telling you The tigress of the house—you treat me like this?! I waited at home, but no one came. In your eyes, Miss Xiao can't bear the slightest grievance?! She can't bear the grievance, but I want to let you slaughter
Cut, you, what do you think of me. Huh—"
Xu Zhiqing covered her small mouth with all her strength so that no one could recognize her voice. She shrugged her shoulders and began to cry silently. Lin Wanrong was shocked when she heard it. Miss Xu's resentment was deep enough. He is a smart person, knowing that At this time, no matter what, you can't "wake up".
Miss Xu wept for a while, and was about to wipe away the tears. She glanced inadvertently, but saw his little fingers wriggling secretly, his eyelashes trembling, and his face had a strange expression.
"You, you haven't fallen asleep?!" She stood up suddenly, her willow eyebrows were erected, and her voice raised a lot unconsciously.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding," Lin Wanrong hurriedly waved his hands: "I really fell asleep, and I couldn't even wake up!"
