Chapter 35: The Eve of the Wedding (1)
The days of forbearance are always very long, and it feels like time is infinitely magnified, and people are weak and insignificant wandering in it, endless.
Sometimes it's not so important to ignore yourself and look at everything as a bystander, but sometimes, the moment all forbearance erupts, you find that you have already found that your eyes are already full of desolation and a heart full of holes.
That's how he should have understood.
Lin Shangde looked at the moonlight outside the window, empty and indifferent, and there were wolves howling one after another in the distance.
Is it already here?
He's been hiding here for too long, and he's often forgotten what he was like, and the world doesn't make sense.
For example, when her daughter is getting married, she gets information from an informant.
For example, the girl he loves the most, but in order to save 3,000 zhang, he will be sealed forever.
For example, he has clearly protected himself and does not ask about the facts, but Emperor Jing still refuses to let himself go.
He Shu rushed to the thatched cottage of Linfu in the dust, the night was silent and far away, and he was fast and whipped along the way, wearing the stars and the moon. Ignoring the dust on his body and all the courtesies, he rushed directly into the hall, shouting to see the master. This is similar to He Shu, who has always been low-key and strategic.
The housekeeper put on his coat, "Alas, isn't this Lord He Shuhe?" You don't come back until your grandfather's birthday every year, why are you rushing back like this now?" The housekeeper has been in the Lin Mansion for decades, and he is good at observing words and feelings.
He Shu looked tired, and the housekeeper gestured to the courtesy, his face full of anxiety, "I have something urgent to find the master." β
Hearing the movement in the hall, Lin Shangde, who was already not sleepy, put on his cloak and slowly came to the hall, his steps were extremely heavy. He saw He Shu, who was slightly untidy, and thought to himself that this person usually loves faΓ§ade kung fu, and turned his head to see that Chen Lao was still walking slowly at the gate, so he personally stepped forward to greet him, "Oh, I didn't expect Chen Lao to come back too." β
Old Chen and Uncle He hurriedly wanted to bow to Master Lin, but they were stopped by Lin Shangde, "It's all my own family, what's so foreign and polite, especially Old Chen, you watched me grow up." β
He Shu didn't care about the two of them continuing to greet each other, and he didn't care about the usual etiquette, so he hastily interrupted, "Grandpa is not good, I heard that Miss will choose to marry the third prince in three days." β
Lin Shangde did not have any surprise on his face, he ordered the housekeeper to prepare for the good Yunnan Pu'er, although it was late at night, but the crowd did not feel sleepy, and the knowledge outside the window and the sound of frogs complemented each other, quiet and distant, and shook the bowels.
He Shu seemed to understand, the lord had already received the news, on the one hand, he felt that the lord's intelligence eyeliner was all over the world, and on the other hand, he felt sorry for him and was tired, this late in the middle of the night, Lin Shangde, who had always had a regular schedule and rest, actually didn't sleep, otherwise how could he come so quickly and neatly dressed.
"Sit down. Lin Shangde took a sip of tea, Pu'er hurt his stomach on an empty stomach, he may have forgotten at this moment, although Lin Xi has been free-range since he was a child, but her only daughter and the most beloved person left it to his children, he looked at Lin Xi and thought of her mother, his humble love, with three more wives and four concubines can not make up for it.
"Master, I think this matter is strange, Emperor Jing heard that he was critically ill. He Shu began to say slowly, "That's because the third prince especially came to the Jade Grass Hall to talk about it in secret, and there seems to be a way to save it?"
Lin Shangde pursed his eyes, "Emperor Jing has always been far-sighted, who is the one who was forced to abdicate by his son." β
Old Chen's voice was slightly hoarse, "Now that there are internal and external troubles, the demon clan has all landed on the border, King Yi should have received the news that Emperor Jing is safe and sound, plus the marriage between the three princes and the Lin Mansion, it is difficult to distinguish whether this King Yi is an enemy or a friend." β
Lin Shangde they said had already calculated hundreds of times in his heart, King Yi must be unreliable, and it is not practical to unite with the demon clan, first, to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and second, Lin Xi is still in Kyoto as a hostage.
"Before, Kyoto didn't say that there was a gathering of the Xuan Ming mage, and it was necessary to call on all ethnic groups in the world to participate. Lin Shangde lay on the desk, massaging and rubbing his acupuncture points, trying to refresh himself.
"Later, I said that the weather was unusual, and during that time the dark clouds covered the sky and disappeared. He Shu stated the anomalous phenomenon in Kyoto at that time, "I received a tip-off that Master Xuanming was actually already in Kyoto at that time. β
"Is there any evidence?" Lin Shangde suddenly raised his head and asked with a sharp look in his eyes.
"No, it's just some clues and folk sayings, otherwise how to explain the sky vision. He Shu replied.
"What if we say that the Xuan Ming Master Gathering Conference will be held in the south of Caiyun in three days. All ethnic groups in Kyushu are invited to participate, the demon clan has come, now give a reason, King Yi is already at the border, and the remaining lady has left an edict before, there is a way to summon the elf clan, and the other line reports that the two royal families of the wing clan are also on the way to the south of Caiyun. Lin Shangde paused word by word, and he made a loud sound.
"That's just the Red Devils. He Shu was completely impressed by Lin Shangde's brain-opening thoughts, "Master, if this is just a scam in the end, how will it end." β
"Without this scam, how would my Lin Mansion end. His eyes suddenly lit up with rage. "Aren't the Red Devils my son-in-law? β
Lin Shangde's informant is even faster and more ruthless, which is better than the royal spy. It may be coveted, and it may be coveted.
No one seemed to sleep tonight, the moonlight was hazy, and the cold moonlight also stretched the tall and mighty back of King Yi.
King Yi has the habits of a general son-in-law, complacent and conceited, but under the queen's earnest teachings, he can be literate and martial, and he can be regarded as a teacher.
"Big brother, I heard that Jue is going to marry Miss Lin Jia, and the wedding date is set in three days. "The fourth prince has always been his little follower, his figure is not high, his appearance is delicate, half a head shorter than King Yi, so it looks more like the tone of a scholar and a master.
"I already know," King Yi's face darkened, silent, and angry.
What makes him unhappy is probably not this marriage, originally Jue Xuan was a thorn in his side, but because he has half of the demon blood, the forces inside and outside the government and the opposition still fully support him, but now the emperor Lao Tzu is not sick at all, and he is still in high spirits.
"How's my father?" he asked, pretendingly.
The fourth prince was confused when asked, "Presumably waiting for us to return triumphantly, we have been holding on." "He's clearly out of touch.
King Yi was in trouble, what kind of medicine is this old man's gourd selling? He turned to look at the cute fourth prince again, and calculated, "The old emperor only has four sons in total, one and a half red devils, and it is rumored that Emperor Jing is not his own son on the rivers and lakes, and a fifth prince was in trouble some time ago, and the old emperor will not know, and in the end, he will not be cheaper than the fourth fool." β
If the demon clan is captured, in the Lin family's land, it is impossible for this Lin Shangde to stand idly by. When the time comes, don't talk about returning to Kyoto, there are many variables in the Lin family's land; if you can't attack it, you will die for a lifetime.
The relationship inside is complicated, whether to join forces with Lin Shangde or isolated, if he has been inactive and allows the demon clan to land, the land of the Lin family is a natural barrier, the only way, the demon clan infestation is inevitable, so it is not too late to wait until they are both defeated.
He walked up and down in the moonlight, and the sand was deeply dented.
"Inform the elite cavalry troops to take the Jinsha River as the boundary and station in Shudi. He spoke firmly.
The four princes obeyed their orders, although they had many doubts in their hearts and did not dare to say more. Outside, the emperor's order is followed and disobeyed.
A group of troops of King Yi, Jin Ge Iron Horse, are all high-class elites. The so-called swift like the wind, its swiftness like a forest, its invasion like fire, and its immobility like a mountain, this is so. Originally, at this speed, it would be possible to reach the hinterland of the Lin family in less than two days, but now after the soldiers and horses were ordered, they had to retreat to the Fengsha Pavilion five kilometers away to take a short rest. But none of the soldiers in the clan complained, and King Yi's elite soldiers were strong and strong, and they were all in the world.
