Chapter 392: Stability and Unity
At lunchtime, Ah Jin invited Old Man Zhong, Lu Zhixin, and Ximen Yuqing to Fengxiang Inn for dinner. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info And Lin Wan insisted on staying, and had a homely meal with the women who came to help.
At the dinner table, everyone was informal and ate freely and harmoniously. After eating a meal, those aunts and sisters-in-law already regarded Lin Wan as their own little girl.
After the meal, Lu Zhixin took a few young and strong men and the guards of the Taishou Mansion to move the collected food, clothing and medicinal materials to the ox cart outside the back door, and loaded a full thirty-five carts before all the supplies were loaded.
Lin Wan didn't expect that the effect would be so good, and so many materials had been raised in just half a day. Although, for hundreds of thousands of troops, these things are only one or two days of food. But if there is really one day, when there is no more support from the imperial court, the people are the last reliance of the Pingnan army.
With the support of thousands of people, the Pingnan army can really have no worries. Maybe this will make Zhou Changan, as the king of a country, even more jealous of the Zhao family, afraid of Zhou Tianqi, and even worried that the entire Jiangnan will be completely out of control.
However, when this kind of "fear" reaches a level that makes Zhou Changan afraid, it is relatively safe. Just like the now relatively independent Eastern Qi army and the Qi family. Zhou Changan no longer dared to publicly issue an order to what happened to the Qi family, so he could only secretly and slowly disintegrate the internal stability and unity of Lianbi City.
Lin Wan always suspected that the Xue family's defection was planned by Zhou Changan, or he instructed Zhou Tianhong and Zhou Tianxing to do it. Therefore, she can't give anyone a chance to take advantage of it, and she can't let Fengnan City or Fengming City have any problems from within.
Fengming City has Feng Wutian and Feng Clan, so don't worry. And Lu Zhiqian, the Taishou of Fengnan City, is the biggest variable and the variable that is most likely to become a hidden danger. However, Lin Wan and Qiu Ming have completely pulled Lu Zhixin into their camp, and with Lu Zhixin, a loyal supporter, this big problem has actually been solved for the most part.
After all, Lu Zhixin is Lu Zhiqian's only son, and Lu Zhiqian will never give up his only son easily unless he has to.
Lin Wan's heart finally relaxed a little, she believed that if there were no worries, with the military ability of Zhao Fengwu and Zhou Tianqi, she would definitely not be afraid of South Vietnam's declaration of war.
Watching the convoy slowly move away, Lin Wan turned around and found that Ximen Yuqing had been standing behind him all along.
Lin Wan saw that Ximen Yuqing seemed to have made up his mind to follow him, so he no longer tried to avoid him, so he simply smiled faintly and invited: "Ximen Gongzi, I am going to visit a craftsman who makes weapons in the afternoon, do you want to go with me?"
Ximen Yuqing shook the folding fan lightly, hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "Of course!"
Ah Jin prepared two carriages at the back door, the first carriage was driven by a hidden ghost, and next to the second carriage stood Ximen Yuqing's servant.
Lin Wan, Ah Jin, and Qingtong got into the first carriage, and Ximen Yuqing and his little servant got into the second carriage. Ah Jin sat close to the outside, helped the hidden soul show the way, and walked all the way in the direction of the east city gate.
After walking for more than half an hour, Lin Wan also woke up from a nap, and finally arrived at the gate of an alley.
The courtyard is very large, the courtyard gate is closed, you can only see the towering trees growing out of the courtyard, and the sound of "clanging" striking iron, the sound is heavy and sometimes light, it seems that every time it has its due landing point and power.
Ah Jin stepped forward and knocked on the door and shouted loudly: "Sister Qiu Ling, are you at home? I'm Ah Jin." ”
"Ah Jin, why are you here, welcome!" Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of pulling the deadbolt.
The door opened, and I saw a young woman in white walking out of the door, the woman had smiling eyebrows and eyes, skin like clotted fat, Qiong nose and thin lips, waist like a willow, and it was really a beautiful embryo.
Qiu Ling took Ah Jin's hand enthusiastically and complained: "Ah Jin, since you became the shopkeeper of Fengxiang Inn, the two of us have not had much chance to meet, why did you think of me today?"
Ah Jin said a little embarrassedly: "Sister Qiu Ling, you also know that Boss Jin handed over such a big inn to me, and my pressure is really great, when things are sorted out over there, I must come to see you often." After speaking, he turned around and introduced: "I brought a few friends over to have a look, this is Miss Amu, and this is Prince Ximen." ”
Lin Wan smiled slightly and nodded to Qiu Ling. Ximen Yuqing also shook the folding fan and nodded slightly.
Qiu Ling was stunned at first, then nodded to Lin Wan with a faint smile, but frowned slightly when her eyes fell on Ximen Yuqing's body. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Miss Amu, Prince Ximen, Ah Jin, please come in, the place is shabby, and the greetings are not good, please forgive me." ”
Several people followed Qiu Ling to the courtyard, only to see two tall ginkgo trees in the courtyard, and an oilcloth shed under the tree, and a shirtless man standing in the shed, the man's back was tall and solid, and the muscles on his shoulders and neck were shining bronze in the warm winter sun.
The man was striking a short sword in his other hand with a hammer, and he was wearing a pair of black gloves. Opposite him was a little boy who was helping him pull the bellows, and the boy was holding the handle of the bellows with both hands and pulling them again and again, sweating like rain.
The yard is clean and tidy, simple and comfortable without any frills and clutter. But it makes Lin Wan feel that there is a scene everywhere, and even the sparse dead leaves under the ginkgo tree can be painted, which makes people feel quiet and beautiful.
Qiu Ling walked up to the man and said softly, "Ah Shu, a guest is coming." As he spoke, he had unconsciously wiped the sweat on the man's face with the silk handkerchief in his hand.
The man glanced back, and when he saw Ximen Yuqing, he also frowned, turned around again, and continued to beat the short sword in his hand. He whispered to Qiu Ling: "It's almost ready, let them wait for a while." ”
Qiu Ling nodded slightly, walked back and explained to Ah Jin: "I'm sorry, I want to ask everyone to wait a little longer." This sword is about to be ready, and it can't be stopped now, and it is said that striking while the iron is hot, the heat and heat are the most important. ”
Lin Wan shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's okay, I think you're really nice and comfortable here, let's sit down and wait for a while." ”
Qiu Ling smiled and said, "I haven't been here for a long time, so please take a seat." As he spoke, he turned around and shouted, "Xiaojie, the guest is here, help make tea." ”
After a while, a little girl with two pigtails ran out of the room, glanced at the guests in the courtyard, blushed, and ran into the kitchen. (To be continued.) )
