Chapter 19: Guanlan Pavilion
It didn't take long for the news of Lin Bai's return to be known to the entire Cloud Palace.
Five days ago, when Yu Changsheng led the team to return first, he brought back the news of the great victory of the recovery, and the morale of the entire Cloud Palace was boosted, and the haze of repeated failures and humiliation of the country was swept away.
Zhuo Hua was very happy, and planned to hold a celebration banquet after Lin Bai returned, after which the entire Cloud Palace would enter a state of combat readiness.
The hidden dangers on the outside have been almost cleared, and the twenty-eight constellations have all been returned to their places, and the opening of the grand light curtain array is naturally on the agenda.
Lin Baigang landed the Red Cloud Beast in front of the Cloud Sky Monument, and hurriedly recited the customs clearance order and entered the Genting Heavenly Palace.
Lin Bai came with an urgent military situation, and he didn't dare to delay along the way, and when he saw that many people congratulating him just smiled politely and bowed their heads, they ran straight to the Lingjue Palace.
As soon as he entered the hall gate of the Lingjue Palace, Lin Bai pulled over a squire and asked, "Yuan Jun can be in the apse today?"
The attendant was originally hurrying with his head down and carrying a tray, when he was suddenly grabbed by a person who stretched out his hand, and he was horrified, screamed, and the tray in his hand fell to the ground.
"It's me!" Lin Bai shouted.
Only then did the frightened little attendant see clearly that it was the victorious Lin Palace Master who was dragging him, and hurriedly wanted to kneel down to congratulate him with a smile.
Lin Bai was most annoyed by this red tape, his brows tightened, and he shouted a few times "no courtesy", and then asked: "Can Yuan Jun be in the inner hall?"
Only then did the attendant know that the palace lord of the forest had come here to discuss with the monarch god, so he said with a smile: "Back to the palace lord, the monarch god will go to Guanlan Pavilion after the court meeting today!"
"Where did you go to Su Xin?"
The attendant nodded and added, "The Qin Palace Lord accompanied me." ”
Lin Bai snorted, turned around and strode away.
Out of the Lingjue Palace, Lin Bai hesitated in his heart whether to go back to the Qinglong Palace first to see Tian Jialan and Rui'er, who had been away for several months, and he no longer missed their mother and daughter all the time.
Lin Bai thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth and ran towards Cuiwei Mountain.
Yuqi came to the Guanlan Pavilion opposite Cuiwei Mountain, which seems to have been renovated again, and the small bamboo houses that were somewhat dilapidated before now look much more elegant.
Lin Bai was not in the mood to admire the newly planted orchids now, and when he saw that the door was open, he stepped into the back room.
As soon as I entered the house, the rich fragrance filled Lin Bai's nostrils.
Lin Bai's nose moved, and he muttered, "The ambergris is all for her!"
When he stepped into the back room, he saw that Qin Ying and Zhuo Yun were there, and the four of them were chatting happily around a small stove around a table.
Hearing that someone came in, the first to find Lin Bai was Zhuo Yun, as soon as she saw Lin Bai, she immediately stood up and greeted her warmly: "Brother Lin Bai is back! Have you worked hard along the way? Do you want to eat some together?"
Hearing that Lin Bai was coming, everyone at the table stood up and walked up with a smile on their faces.
Zhuo Hua took his hand and said: "Lao Jiao, you have made a great contribution this time! The military newspaper said that the bandit armies of Zhongshenzhou and Xiqizhou were wiped out by you within three months, and those people in Nanyanzhou fled in despair! Recovering 180 cities, pacifying as many as one million displaced people, and turning the tide, Kuang Fu Sheji is not talking about you!"
As soon as these words came out, the three girls praised Lin Bai together, which made Lin Bai a little embarrassed.
He waved his hand again and again and took a step back, and said embarrassedly: "This time it is all the credit of the soldiers, I am just a pawn of the horse, how can I take such a great achievement! Besides, Yu Changsheng, the military advisor who accompanied the army, frequently came up with clever plans in every battle, so that our army could achieve a major victory with very few casualties!"
"Yo! I said Lin Dagong Master! Don't be modest, such a big marshal, he is not afraid to kill the enemy in battle, and he blushed when he was praised by a few of us, do you think it's strange?"
Lin Bai saw that it was Su Xin who was covering his mouth and secretly laughing to make fun of him, so he couldn't help but blurt out for a while: "Su Xin, Su Xin! You said that your mouth can't be stopped." If you don't speak, no one treats you as a dumb person, and you dare to arrange me, and I will tell Tian Jialan what you just said later, and let her discuss with you what blush is. ”
As soon as he heard that Lin Bai moved out of Tian Jialan, Su Xin was one head and two big, and everyone in the entire Cloud Palace knew that when it came to lip service, Su Xin was second and Tian Jialan was definitely the first. Moreover, Tian Jialan is the princess of Guangping of the Great Yan Kingdom, and she has her own domineering aura, and Su Xin, who was born as a thief, is completely overwhelming.
Therefore, although Su Xin quarreled in the Cloud Palace and met an opponent, the only opponent was Natian Jialan.
"You have to get it! You don't want to move your tigress out! I can't admit defeat! It's just a joke, why take it seriously! Today, the renovation of the humble house is completed, and I hope that the palace master Lin will appreciate his face and have a light meal together?"
Lin Bai shook his head and said with a smile: "I won't eat the meal, I'll go home and eat it myself after I'm done." ”
Qin Ying pretended to be displeased and said: "Since Lao Jiao, you have a family and gave birth to a baby daughter, and you have become increasingly estranged from us, and now I have to make an appointment three or five times if I want to have a meal with you!"
Lin Bai spread his hands and threw a look of help at Zhuo Hua.
Zhuo Hua laughed, pulled Lin Bai and came outside the house.
Zhuo Yun walked over with a cup of freshly brewed tea, and saw that only Su Xin and Qin Ying were left in the house, and muttered: "Big brother is really, Brother Lin Bai has been out for so long before he comes back, and he doesn't even drink tea!"
Zhuo Hua and Lin Bai came to the outside of the bamboo house, Guanlan Pavilion is located at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain, opposite the magnificent sea, the scenery can be described as excellent.
"What's so urgent that you can't wait until tomorrow's court meeting to say it?" Zhuo Hua asked with a smile.
"Qi Yu Yuanjun, Lin Bai is guilty!" Lin Bai knelt down with a plop, lowered his head and raised his fists above his head.
This sudden change made Zhuo Hua not reflect for a while, and hurriedly reached out to help Lin Bai.
"Lao Jiao, why are you doing this?
Lin Bai struggled to get up, and continued: "The minister is guilty! Today, the minister led a large group of men and horses to rest in Honglu Pass, and met a few secret people who came to steal Huayang Pearl. ”
"What? The secret thieves are not small, they dare to do it in Honglu Pass!
Limber was silent.
"Tell me quickly, have they succeeded?" Zhuo Hua was obviously a little anxious.
Lin Bai nodded: "It's done! Huayang Zhu was stolen, and the high priest Tian Qing was killed!"
"What!" Zhuo Hua heard the news like a bolt from the blue, and he didn't stand firm for a while, and staggered back two steps.
Lin Bai immediately stood up and reached out to support him.
"How could this be!Honglu Pass was heavily guarded, and besides, you were still with a thousand Heavenly Palace guards at that time, how could you lose Huayang Zhu!" Zhuo Hua really couldn't understand, and couldn't help shaking his head.
"Those three fine works are by no means ordinary scouts, when it comes to fighting alone, a centurion of the Cloud Palace Guard of the fifth or sixth rank of the immortal rank may not be his opponent. Moreover, the three of them cooperated very tacitly, and in just one round, the defenders of the city gate killed and injured more than 300 people. ”
"That's not a reason! You've killed hundreds of Secret Pioneers, but that one isn't a fierce death-defying one? Isn't that one an incomparably powerful existence? Just three people can steal Huayang Zhu right under your nose?" Zhuo Hua roared loudly, blushing and pointing to Lin Bai's nose and asked.
"They still have one person to assist, without this person, their action will definitely not be successful!" Lin Bai lowered his head, his eyes did not dare to meet Zhuo Hua's eyes.
"Who is it?" you name it, and I will definitely break him to pieces!" Zhuo Hua put his hands behind his back, his chest rising and falling sharply.
"Terran Wang Ji, Su Mengling!"
"What?" Zhuo Hua was a little incredulous, thinking that he had misheard, and stepped forward and tilted his ear to listen again.
"It's Su Mengling, she entered the temple with the gold medal of 'Walking in the World', and then the high priest found out that the holy relics were stolen, and sent someone to the general's palace to immediately block the city and arrest the important culprits!" Lin Bai truthfully told Zhuo Hua about the situation word by word.
Zhuo Hua listened to Lin Bai without saying a word, the anger in his heart seemed to have calmed down, and his breathing was much more even.
"You blocked them in the middle of the jungle?" Zhuo Hua asked.
"Yes, the situation was urgent at that time, and the minister didn't have time to give other orders, so he had to block the dense forest first, so as to prevent the thieves from escaping into the Zhongshen Continent with holy relics. What to do next, please show Yuanjun. ”
"Withdraw the army!" Zhuo Hua came to the railing and looked out at the endless sea.
"What?" this time it was Limber's turn to doubt his ears.
"Withdraw the army! That jungle is so big, if they are determined to hide in it, they can't do anything about it. It is naturally not a pity for them to die inside, but Huayang Zhu can't fall inside. I don't want to lose the holy thing, and I want my soldiers to throw their lives in the forest in search of it. ”
"But what if the thieves carry the relics and join the remnants of the Dark Army after the army is withdrawn?" Limber asked, looking up.
"It's better to converge, then I can catch them all. They are already at the end of their crossbows, even if they capture a Huayang Pearl? Let Yu Changsheng go! You stay, and after the celebration banquet is over, all the Star Monarchs will open the light curtain array together. ”
Lin Bai still had some words in his heart, and when he came to his mouth, he thought about it and swallowed it back.
As soon as he raised his hand, he clenched his fists and said "Command", and then bowed and retreated.
"Su Mengling was really not coerced?" asked Zhuo Hua.
Lin Bai thought for a moment, and then said: "Judging from the situation at the time, it is difficult to be sure, it stands to reason that she has no reason to cooperate with the secret people, but when Chen fought with those thieves, those thieves still used their own flesh and blood to protect Miss Su. I'm afraid that only Miss Su herself can explain this matter clearly. ”
Zhuo Hua hummed, and then stopped talking.
Lin Bai suddenly thought of something, stepped forward and asked, "By the way, Yuan Shang, has the artifact Jade Immortal of the Seven Clans been safely returned?"
Zhuo Hua nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry! The artifacts have been placed in an extremely secret place, and no one can get them!"
After speaking, Zhuo Hua returned to the house.
