Noble son of the poor family (81)

With the imperial court, there is no need to maintain these face-saving feelings now. But some villains still have to be entertained, because in the future, you don't know when you will use them.

Lin Yutong explained to Cheng Feng in a low voice before sending him down.

called Hei Qi again and asked about the other information he had gathered.

“…… The news only came today, Mobei entered August, and the snow began to fall. After that, the business travel was cut off, and it snowed heavily for several days...... When my subordinates received the news, they heard that the snow was still falling......"

Lin Yutong's brows couldn't help frowning. If there is such bad weather outside the Saiwai, it will really be regarded as a disaster. Cattle and horses don't know how many have frozen to death. Therefore, even if there is no factor of King Zhao in Mingchun, the Hu people will inevitably go south to plunder.

This war is inevitable. Whether it's with the Hu people or with the northwest.

"Continue to collect information, at the expense of gold and silver, whether it is the Hu people in the north or the imperial court in the south. I want to know everything, no matter how big or small. Lin Yutong looked at Hei Qi, "Are you okay?"

"Okay!" Hei Qi said without hesitation: "Madame, don't worry, as long as Madam wants to know, her subordinates will definitely be able to find out for you." So saying, he knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "Madam, young lady...... She has a bun in the oven. ”

"Happy?" Lin Yutong smiled suddenly, "This is a great event." When I went back, I asked Mama Su to take a look. Don't worry, I'll take care of her for you, and I'll keep the adults and children safe. ”

Hei Qi sniffed, "Mrs. Xie." "He's a eunuch, who would have thought that there would be today? Whether this child is male or female, it's all his blood. Just for this, Madame told him to die Ming'er, and he would not hesitate.

"Alright. Go ahead. Lin Yutong waved his hand.

When she turned around, she explained to Mama Su and asked her to take care of it.

Just now, I was worried about the wind and snow outside the plug, but who would have thought that the capital would be followed by strong winds and snow. At night, you can hear the branches of trees crushing the heavy snow.

Lin Yutong couldn't sleep steadily, and he didn't know what happened to the fourth master in Xishan?

When she couldn't sleep, she heard a commotion in the yard, and her face immediately changed, "Come on, what's going on outside?"

"It's me!" the fourth master's voice came in from outside, and the curtain of the door was opened, "It's me, don't get up." I blamed me for not telling you in advance, so I was shocked. ”

Lin Yutong glared at the fourth master: "The snow is so heavy, why are you coming back?" There was an accident on the way, I really didn't dare to think about it.

Seeing that she was about to get up, the fourth master hurriedly stopped, "Sit back." I'll wash and I'll talk to you again. If you don't come back, you'll have to be stuck in the mountains by snow. If there is really something in the capital, the master can't reach it. ”

So saying, he went into the inner room. Lin Yutong got up in the end and sent him clean clothes in. He also asked Mama Su to go to the kitchen to ask for food.

The fourth master came out, picked up the soup bowl, drank two bowls of mushroom soup, and then waved his hand to the people who were waiting to go down, and said, "It's not only snowing in the north, but it's also snowing in the south." ”

"Huh?" Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, she really didn't know about this, "How can this happen?"

Even if it is cold in the north, there is still heating equipment, and every household has a warm kang and a stove. As long as the house does not collapse, it basically does not freeze to death. But the South is different.

The fourth master shook his head, "The wind is not in tune and the rain is not smooth, what can I do? I'm afraid that next year, the south will not be stable." ”

Lin Yutong handed him the steamed bun, "Let's eat it first." Who told us to catch up? ”

This year's New Year has come in the snow.

And this year, the only thing to congratulate was that the skullcap sent a letter and a box of good furs.

The fourth master smiled: "Sincerely, the golden stone is open." The supply of grain and grass for most of the year can be regarded as warming people's hearts. ”

Lin Yutong smiled, and then frowned, "Look at this letter." ”

The fourth master waved his hand, "You don't need to look at me to know, this is a warning for us." In the battle of the beginning of spring, if you can't get it right, you have to start a war on two fronts. What I am most afraid of now is that the imperial court will take advantage of the time when we are at war with Hu Ren and Zhao Hanshan, and it will be behind us...... If this is an enemy on the belly and back, it means that it has eight hands, and it will not be able to stop it even if I am afraid. ”

Liu Shuquan looked at the fourth master, then at Lin Yutong, and said in a low voice: "This year is the emperor's seventieth birthday. I don't think I can use a knife easily. It is better to open it with subordinates, but it is better to send gold, silver, wealth and gifts for longevity according to the duty of the courtiers. It's just that in this way, it is equivalent to showing weakness to the court. This is a sign of weakness...... It will inevitably damage the prestige of the fourth master......"

The fourth master sat down and didn't speak for a while.

Of course he knew what Liu Shuquan meant, but it was just a disguised way of seeking peace.

Everyone has to save face. Between these people, they also pay attention to face, if they take the initiative to admit it, ordinary people will not easily do such a thing.

But Liu Shuquan asked the fourth master to admit it, this idea can indeed be regarded as an offense. Once this cowardice is recognized, what will the people below think? It is certain that it will damage the majesty.

The fourth master and Lin Yutong have experienced a lot, where would they hesitate for a little fame and temporary benefits.

Seeing that the fourth master was silent for a long time, he said: "Not only do you have to give a generous gift to the imperial court, but you also have to write a letter to Zhao Hanshan." In the letter to the imperial court, you might as well speak bluntly about the matter of resisting Hu. It is even possible to openly ask for food and military pay. As for the letter to Zhao Hanshan, the content is the same, that is, to invite him to resist foreign insults together. This letter and the recital will be drafted by Mr. Liu. Your writing is sharp, and you can't find a second person. ”

Liu Shuquan was stunned: "This ......" Although this is also a show of weakness, it stands on the position of national righteousness. Who can say that this man is a bad seed? "Yes, my subordinates will do it. ”

After all the people in the house had withdrawn, the fourth master turned his head to look at Lin Yutong, "This time, I have to leave again." ”

There is a big war at the beginning of spring, and I have to go at this time.

Lin Yutong knew in his heart, "What if you leave after the fifteenth day ......of the first lunar month?"

The fourth master shook his head: "It's the tenth day of the first month." The tenth day of the new year departed. ”

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, there are still scattered snowflakes in the sky. Lin Yutong put the armor on the fourth master, "Don't worry, you just have to look ahead." I'll keep an eye on you later. Nothing can go wrong. ”

The fourth master hugged Lin Yutong: "Wait for me to come back." ”

This time, there were only two gentlemen who accompanied Lin Yutong to stay in the capital, Lu Heng and Fan Dongzhe.

Because of their old age, neither gentleman came to see them off. Therefore, in the end, watching the army leave, there was only Lin Yutong's single figure.

The fourth master turned his head, and suddenly his nose was sour. When I come back this time, I will never be separated from her again, never.

The festive energy of the New Year Festival in the capital is still there, and it was disturbed by the Western Expedition, as if it was overshadowed.

And on the same day, in the private room of a brothel in the capital, a man with a rough face sat up suddenly, "Yin Shilang has really set off?"

A man with a mustache on the other side said, "Yes, His Royal Highness the King of Han! ”

"God help me. Zhao Hanshan laughed, "Wait for that kid to know that his lair is occupied by us, see what he does." ”

"This ...... Don't be careless. The man said, "We all know that this lady is not an idle person." That's also a murderous lord who doesn't blink. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Hanshan raised his eyebrows: "It sounds like a dominatrix." What does that look like?"

The corners of the man's mouth moved: "It is said that it is also extremely beautiful." ”

"Beauty?" the corners of Zhao Hanshan's mouth couldn't help but curl, "Pungent beauty, this king wants to see it." ”

The man touched the sweat on his head: "Master, you have been delayed outside for too long, and you should go back." ”

Zhao Hanshan waved his hand, "Don't worry." Are you really in a hurry to be the king?" his face turned a little fierce, "You just need to do your errand, and the king's affairs are not up to you." ”

The man answered, and slowly retreated.

Zhao Hanshan only put away the banter on his face at this time, he didn't know why King Zhao had to take the capital, so he did not hesitate to use the northwest as a price. But the capital is really not so easy to take. Don't think that relying on the palace and the secret passages outside the city, you can bring people into the capital. The defense of this capital is stronger than expected. Even if you walk on the street, you will meet several groups of people who come to verify your identity. I can't even stretch my hands and feet.

He only dared to think about these words in his heart. But he didn't dare to show a look of uncertainty. Especially against subordinates.

But his heart was already burning.

His Royal Highness King Zhao, what does he think? Only with the northwest can there be a foundation. What's the use of attacking the capital like this? Even if it happens, it will be made of dumplings by Yin Shilang, who has turned around.

"It would have been nice to insist on opposing it a little longer. Annoyed, he picked up the already cold tea on the table and poured it down, and said.

As soon as the fourth master left, Lin Yutong couldn't sleep at night. In the middle of the night, Mama Su came to report: "Hei Qi is here." ”

Lin Yutong immediately got up: "Please sit in the hall." ”

Hei Qi looked very anxious this time, and immediately knelt down when he saw Lin Yutong: "Madam, my subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish Madame." ”

"Get up. Lin Yutong waved his hand, "The tiger still has time to nap." Say, what's going on?"

Hei Qi said in a low voice: "Today, my subordinates met my brother who was on an errand together when he was a child. He's a stammer, and he's not very skilled. Therefore, it is still in the palace and guards the palace. He secretly went out of the palace this time because he wanted to buy some peach wood, swords, yellow paper, incense candles and other things. At first, his subordinates thought that he was going to sacrifice someone, but then he thought about it again, this memorial person didn't use a peachwood sword, which was to ward off evil spirits. Only then did he wait until night to ask someone to sneak into the palace. I just got the news that many palaces in the palace are haunted. ”

Lin Yutong's heart jumped: "What do you mean, this is not haunted, someone wants to haunt it?"
