When King Jin received the emperor's reprimand, he still pinched a cold sweat.

"Fortunately, this king listened to Lu Tong's words, otherwise the Jin Wangfu would have to be roasted on the fire at this moment!"

King Jin was very grateful to Lu Tong for giving him a wake-up call before going to the capital that day, and after discussing with Lu Tong, he decided to prepare a case with the imperial brother in advance.

Otherwise, at this time, the emperor suddenly saw Lin Daocheng's excerpt, and he didn't know how to suspect him!

Cui Yingjia was also very angry after figuring out the cause and effect:

"The concubine heard that after Lin Guifei went, the people of the Lin family cut off contact with the prince, how can they use the prince with such ill intentions now? Isn't this trying to kill the concubine and the prince?"

King Jin hurriedly appeased Cui Yingjia:

"Okay, don't be angry, the meaning of the Lin family is obvious, this is to drive the ducks to the shelves, force the king to rebel, and go to seize the throne with the imperial brother! They don't want to think about it, is it so easy to rebel? This king has no soldiers and horses, and the other is unscrupulous, and they think too highly of this king! But don't worry, as long as we make up our minds, no one will try to calculate us!"

Cui Yingjia nodded and said:

"What the prince said is that a few days ago, my third uncle's cousin came all the way to Hedong, saying that he came to visit his concubines, didn't he also fight this idea?

Zhang Delu watched from the side, very pleased, what is the same heart of husband and wife, and its profit is gold?

The world is going to be chaotic, and it is not easy for the prince and the princess to stay out of the matter so soberly!

In the southeast, Lin Daocheng calculated the days and got the news that the emperor ordered Xu Chenglin to arrest him.

When Lin Daocheng saw the edict, he looked at Xu Chenglin with disdain:

"Do you dare to arrest me?"

Xu Chenglin saw that Lin Daocheng was complacent, and he couldn't bear to poke him, but warned him very seriously:

"Why not? But I don't want to go to the trouble of pleasing a man who killed my sister. But if you are cruel and unkind in the future, and poison the people, I will naturally capture you!"

Lin Daocheng's smile was full of ambition:

"That's natural, I just can't get used to seeing the faint king in power, and the people suffer, so I will persuade each other with great righteousness, if the emperor doesn't listen to the advice, but misunderstands my loyalty, then I can only draw the sword for the people of the world and help the community!"

Xu Chenglin still smiled good-natured and didn't say anything more.

He used to be the emperor's companion and imperial guard, so he not only knew the emperor, but also the king of Ning and Jin.

Lin Daocheng had been living in the southeast corner for too long, and he didn't notice that with the issuance of this edict, there was no news that the emperor had seen the king of Jin, but only reprimanded.

And now the emperor's reprimand can be said to be not painful, the king of Jin who is far away in Hedong has no loss except for the face, and even with the current situation, I am afraid that many courtiers will sympathize with the king of Jin and feel that the emperor is angry and innocent.

If Lin Daocheng's willingness to be a pawn was placed on the ambitious King Ning, then King Ning would definitely abandon his previous suspicions and take advantage of this to make a living, but King Jin ......

In fact, Xu Chenglin didn't believe that the simple and stupid young man back then really had the intention of rebellion, but the hearts of the people were separated from the belly, and even he who was loyal to the emperor at the beginning could fight with the emperor, not to mention the King of Jin, who was also the son of the first emperor?

Xu Chenglin decided to wait and see.

After waiting for ten days, the people sent by Lin Daocheng to Hedong were gone, like mud cows entering the sea, and there was not even a trace of them coming back, Lin Daocheng finally noticed that something was wrong!

"Shaft! He deserves to be a wreck for the rest of his life! He made the lord of the southeast of Lin Daocheng a joke!"

Lin Daocheng was so angry that he slapped the table, and some clan elders who did not support his move took the opportunity to make trouble:

"At the beginning, you swore that the King of Jin would definitely accept our affection, as long as our Lin family expressed his position, he would accept it, but now? The King of Jin is so indifferent, and we are completely at odds with the emperor, do you want to put everyone in our Lin family to death? If you are not competent for this family master, let Xian as soon as possible!"

Lin Daocheng's face was so angry that his face turned pale, but he couldn't quarrel with the clan elders, after all, today's things had completely exceeded his expectations!

He thought that King Jin might be afraid, and he might be reserved to shirk it, but he didn't think that King Jin would not accept it at all, making Lin Daocheng's hard work become wishful thinking and the laughing stock of the world!

is also the prince of the first emperor, how can the king of Jin not even have any ambitions?!

Next, what should I do? If he just admits it, then he will completely lose his right to speak in the Lin family in the future, but if he takes a step forward, King Jin will not speak at all, and everything he does is not in vain?

Lin Daocheng, who was in a dilemma, couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what kind of waste did his aunt Lin Guifei give birth to?

He had forgotten that from the very beginning, he actually didn't want King Jin to be too shrewd and capable, so that in the future, he could control King Jin in his hands.

Bai Chenghuan, who had already left the capital and was on the way to Yuzhou, was also unbelievable when he heard such news, but he was sincerely happy.

"It seems that King Jin still knows it, and I don't have to worry about it anymore!"

The summer scenery in front of him is very bright, and Bai Chenghuan's mood is completely brightened up with this news.

Xiao Shaotang was happy to see her, and he was also happy:

"No wonder with the emperor's temperament, he was able to endure it without looking for the king of Jin, it turned out that the king of Jin had already made a plan in his heart. It is really not easy for a vassal king to have such self-knowledge at such a time. ”

No matter what happens in the future, at least at this moment, King Jin will not participate in the competition for the world and will not be an enemy of them, firstly, it will make Bai Chenghuan not sad and embarrassed, and secondly, there will be one less enemy in the future of the Qin Palace.

Either way, this is a good thing.

Bai Chenghuan nodded:

"Yes, if King Jin is eloquent, he wants to be the emperor, but with his temperament, if he really allows the Lin family in the southeast to push him to the throne, then he will definitely become a puppet of the Lin family in the future, and it will be too late to regret it at that time. ”

She got involved in this troubled world in order to repay her hatred in her previous life, but Xiao Shi's life should not be distorted and diverted because of this.

They can experience war, displacement, and pain, but she hopes that the little ten in her memory can stay out of it and live this life in peace.

Bai Chenghuan also made up her mind at this moment, as long as she is alive, no matter who becomes the emperor, she will always keep Xiao Shi as a noble and carefree vassal king.

On this day, they were resting at the post stations along the way to eat, when they heard someone talk about it again.

There weren't many people at the inn, only a group of men who looked very simple and honest were resting.

But those who can go out in this world are people with some confidence, those people look unrecognizable, but there are no taboos when they speak.

Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan listened quietly to their high-minded conversations, and tried their best to make a cowardly appearance of not hearing anything outside the window.

"This Lin Daocheng is really self-inflicted, royal affairs, he has to mix, mix, and don't understand, who is the king of Jin? is a weak vassal king!

"Hehe, there are talents and virtues, aren't they all dragons and phoenixes? Since I grew up as arrogant and lascivious as the emperor when I was a child, why can't I be the emperor? But now that the king of Jin is a turtle with a shrunken head and is silent, he is also a smart person, if he responds at this time, won't he kill himself?"

"If you can't die, the Lin family won't let him die!"

"You, stupid! The Lin family is far away in the southeast, the emperor really wants to kill the king of Jin, and the Lin family can't stop it!"

"You are stupid, the Lin family will definitely protect the King of Jin, and the Cui family, that is the Yue family of the King of Jin! The emperor wants to kill the King of Qin now, and the King of Jin will not be able to achieve any climate!"

A group of people were talking lively, and a big man who had been not speaking next to him slammed the big knife in his hand on the table:

"You guys one by one, where do you get so much nonsense? No matter who becomes the emperor, it won't be our turn! Let's beg for our way to live, what are we bothering about!"

"Big ...... What the eldest brother said is not right, there is an old saying, princes and generals are like each other, rather there is a kind!" A slightly elegant middle-aged man shook his head and said: "Maybe our brothers will have that one day! Anyway, the emperor is extinct, and the country of this great Qi should be over!"

The big man raised his eyebrows and said angrily:

"I can't stop your mouth when I eat! I think you'll understand everything after a few days of reading sour books, you're really a stupid person! No matter how bad this Great Qi is, there is still Prince Qin, when will it be your turn to dream here in the Spring and Autumn Period!"

"If you want to talk about me, let's do our dirt...... It's good, big brother has to take us to join the army, this is really pedantic, pedantic!"

The middle-aged man muttered a few words unwillingly, but he didn't dare to say more, and buried himself in eating.

Bai Chenghuan and Xiao Shaotang glanced at each other, and just buried their heads in eating.

However, the big man looked at them a few times warily, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual about this mediocre-looking couple, he turned away his fierce eyes.

It wasn't until the team had eaten and drunk far away that Xiao Shaotang squinted his eyes:

"These people, who look like villagers, are armed with swords and have a fierce spirit, and they are by no means good. ”

"Well, I think it's a bandit, but they said they were going to join the army, where are they going to join the army?"

Bai Chenghuan counted the rice grains in the bowl and said sullenly.

Xiao Shaotang turned his head in surprise: "Do you see it?"

In fact, what the middle-aged man wanted to call at first was afraid that he was a "big boss" rather than a big brother, but he still hid it a little.

It's just that such a person's temperament is too reckless, and it is obviously useless to hide people's eyes and ears with such flaws, in vain he is afraid that Bai Chenghuan will know and be afraid, so he doesn't dare to say it clearly.

Bai Cheng smiled and said:

"You underestimate me too much, it's not like I haven't seen bandits when I was in Yuzhou. However, although these people are bandits, they sound like they are going to join the army, and they still have a heart to serve the country, which is stronger than those bandits who only know how to kill people and sell goods. ”

Xiao Shaotang nodded: "Looking at the direction of their journey, they are going to the northwest, maybe, there will be some fate in the future." ”

Bai Chenghuan thought for a moment and smiled:

"Yes, now that bandits are rampant in all parts of Daqi, and the officials are dim, they can only go, I'm afraid that the only place for the prince is there. ”

The people of Daqi have experienced famine and war, and the King of Qin, who originally only had the name of the god of war, has now almost become the only light in their hearts.

Since leaving the capital, along the way, I have heard many people mention King Qin, although it is nothing more than some ethereal praise or admiration, but it is enough to teach Xiao Shaotang to feel heartfelt pride.

In an excited mood, Xiao Shaotang thought that Bai Chenghuan had not seen King Qin yet, and said to her with a smile:

"Let's go see my father-in-law and mother-in-law first, and then go to see my father and mother, and when the affairs of the southwest are arranged, I will take you to see your father.

Bai Chenghuan also wanted to meet the legendary god of war admired by all the people, so he happily agreed, and the two of them accelerated their pace again, and on the seventh day of leaving Beijing, they arrived in Yuzhou.

After entering the capital city of Yuzhou, Xiao Shaotang's expression was obviously different.

When they came back half a year ago, it was the old lady of the He family who returned to the west, and the side that he didn't see on his deathbed became Xiao Shaotang's lifelong regret.

Now that he is back again, Xiao Shaotang's expression is obviously much darker, and there is a kind of homesickness and timidity in his sadness.

Therefore, the two of them did not stay in the capital city of Yuzhou for long, but only arranged a proper place for their subordinates in the capital city of Yuzhou, and then they were about to leave the capital city and go to Hongnong County.

"Master, your subordinates should follow you, right?"

The subordinates who followed all the way said that they were really not worried that the two of them would just leave them and go to Hongnong County.

Xiao Shaotang sternly refused: "You are on standby here, and we will turn back in two days." ”

He and Bai Chenghuan's opinion is the same, after all, Yuzhou is not the capital, they bring a large number of people, it is normal in the capital, it is not conspicuous at all, but in a small place like Hongnong County, if it is seen by others, it will be a trouble.

When the two entered Hongnong County, Xiao Shaotang immediately felt the depression in Hongnong County.

"When I was a child, every time I went out on the street, my father asked people to follow me, and they couldn't keep up, because there were so many people on the street, as long as they couldn't watch, I could get out, but now, those people are gone. ”

After all, Bai Chenghuan was later, and in those days of the Bai family, the number of times she went to the street was also limited, she didn't know what Hongnong County was like in the past, but seeing Xiao Shaotang's loss, she could also imagine that huge change.

"After all, after famine and war, banditry is rampant, and people's livelihoods are inevitably depressed, as long as our families are still here and safe, it is already good. ”

Along the way, Bai Chenghuan tried his best to comfort Xiao Shaotang, but when they passed by the alley where He's house was, they still felt that something was wrong.

"In the past, more or less, there were a few gatekeepers here, but today, why is it that not only is the door closed, but there is not even a person outside the door?"

Xiao Shaotang was a little worried, Bai Chenghuan simply got off the horse, looked at the closed gate, and walked directly forward and patted the door.

"We're just passing by foreigners, and we just want to meet the master, what's so embarrassing?"

She turned back to Xiao Shaotang and smiled.
