Chapter 86
At present, it is well known that the imperial court went north to ask for guilt and went west to cut Li, but it is not known what the result will be. Smelling the smell of gunpowder in the sky, people only lamented that the world was beginning to be chaotic.
In the small inn in Qianzhou City, the lobbyist sent by Jin Li had been resting at the inn for two days, and the person who sent the letter had delivered the letter to Zhen Bing by hand. Lin Zhiling immediately burned the letter after reading it, this is Shu Jin's handwritten letter, asking Qianzhou to help, this is a naked/naked rebellion. It's not that Lin Zhiling doesn't have this intention, but when it comes to supply and demand, it is a business that competes for interests. Zhen Bing doesn't know how to handle the abacus, and she still did it herself. Lin Zhiling ordered Zhen Bing to stay in the mansion honestly, and went out by himself with a hat.
The inn chosen by Li Chen was quite hidden, and in an inconspicuous alley, Lin Zhiling was easy to find for a while.
Lin Zhiling entered the inn and knocked on the door, only to hear a cautious question from inside: "Who is outside the door?" β
Lin Zhiling looked left and right, but no one replied in a whisper: "The maid of the county government." β
The people inside heard the female voice, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "How can you say that you have no clothes?" β
Lin Zhiling rolled his eyes: "Jagged wattle." β
This is the code of the letter, the current situation is in turmoil, Yan Jun is particularly vigilant, and the people are also trembling, not to mention a group of rebellious chaotic parties and alliances, so the meeting between the two parties is particularly cautious, but this code is too low.
The people inside opened the door, and Lin Zhiling quickly stepped into the door. The door was quickly locked, and Lin Zhiling sat down and took off the hat, the veil still covering his face.
Li Chen immediately frowned, very dissatisfied with the woman who came alone, and asked, "The girl is alone?" What about Lord Zhen? β
"Lord Zhen is too busy with official business to take a break, so he specially ordered me to come and discuss with my lord."
Lin Zhiling sat up straight, quite the posture of the lord of a city, and waved his hand to signal Li Chen: "My lord, please take a seat." β
Li Chen looked Lin Zhiling up and down, seeing that she had an extraordinary bearing and should be an insightful woman, so he sat down and asked, "Who is the girl, Lord Zhen, who can come to discuss important matters with me on behalf of Lord Zhen?" β
"Me?" Lin Zhiling raised the corners of his mouth, lifted the wine glass and poured a cup of hot wine for Li Chen, and said, "Naturally, Lord Zhen is the person who puts his heart into his heart, my lord doesn't have to doubt it, I will convey every word you say to Lord Zhen without omission." β
"In that case, let's get straight to the point." Li Chen took out a treaty from the wooden box on the side and handed it to Lin Zhiling, "Your Majesty the Emperor is killing Li, King Li is resisting, if Qianzhou can help each other, the Li army will be able to strengthen its wings, and he will be able to do it..."
"Wait," Lin Zhiling suddenly interrupted Li Chen's words, and said curiously, "All soldiers who come to Qianzhou to ask for food must come for food, Your Majesty counts the ten sins of King Li, and King Li is already a criminal minister when he is guilty, and he becomes a rebel minister when he resists." My Qianzhou is originally subordinate to Dayan, and it is natural to assist His Majesty. In the battle between Yan Li, King Li had no chance of winning, and he dared to ask how to persuade me to oppose Yan Guili? β
Hearing that Lin Zhiling had this concern, Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, which at least showed that Lin Zhiling understood the stakes of the situation, and it was naturally easier to talk to smart people. "Isn't Mrs. Zhen already convinced?"
Lin Zhiling was surprised, a strange light flashed across his eyes, his smile was a little funny, and he raised the corners of his mouth slightly with contempt: "What do you call me, Mrs. Zhen?" β
Li Chen bowed his hand and praised: "Madame is a confidant of Lord Zhen, and secondly, she has come to judge the situation and know the general situation, except for the adult's wife, which daughter can be so courageous?" β
"You speak - it's very nice," Lin Zhiling didn't repulse it in her heart, put away her smile and turned back to a serious look, "Then again, how can you see that I am convinced?" β
Li Chen: "If Madame hadn't moved her heart and insisted on being loyal to Dayan, I'm afraid I would have been surrounded by heavy troops." β
Lin Zhiling shook his head again and again: "Alas, you can misunderstand me, I came just to ask for a bargaining chip that the army must win, before I got this bargaining chip, I."
Li Chen stroked his beard confidently and said: "Madame is not fighting on the front line, so I don't know, so I asked Madame three questions, after listening to my questions, if Madame is still hesitant, then I am willing to be a prisoner of the ranks." β
"You look confident."
The information on the front line is often the most timely and reliable, and if she can learn it early, she can make further plans, and she can't ask for information about this leader. Lin Zhiling raised the corners of his mouth again: "I'll listen to you." β
"First, does Madame know that the Huns have invaded south?"
When Lin Zhiling heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and he was stunned for a moment. It's a disaster for the people, and it's an opportunity for strategists.
Seeing Lin Zhiling's reaction, Li Chen said the second question with confidence: "Madame, do you know that Feng Danmiao has entered the command of King Li and has captured the Taichao Pass?" β
Lin Zhiling came back to his senses in an instant, and was so excited that his heart almost pulled out of his throat, but he calmly said, "What about the third question?" β
"Does Madame want to be a princess?"
Lin Zhiling shuddered, and hurriedly asked the bottom of the matter: "Princess? What do you mean. β
Li Chen: "After the fall of Dayan, King Li will be the lord of the world, as long as Qianzhou helps King Li succeed, the king will naturally be fine." β
Lin Zhiling's mood was surging, the times created heroes, and he finally waited for this day. Lin Zhiling picked up the treaty and looked at it carefully, glued the wine to her fingertips, and drew the outline of the Central Plains on the table with her memory, but she couldn't help frowning, it wasn't that Shu Jin was not generous enough, but that she had too much appetite.
"The fiefdom on the terms is too narrow."
"Hehe," Li Chen smiled far-fetchedly, "dare to ask that lady what she wants?" β
Lin Zhiling thought for a while and said, "The radius has expanded by two hundred miles. β
Li Chen just swallowed the wine and squirted out, and looked at Lin Zhiling in a daze, she looked like she was in her early twenties, but she was so far-sighted that she didn't look like a girl in her early twenties should have, Fang asked, "How old is Madame?" β
Lin Zhiling said casually: "Thirty." β
Li Chen hurriedly wiped a cold sweat, no wonder the saying is that a woman is like a wolf like a tiger in her thirties, and now it seems that there is a certain amount of truth.
"Madame's request to expand the radius by 200 miles is a big deal, I can't be the master, and I have to make a decision by King Li. Now that the war is urgent, I also ask Lord Zhen to immediately stop supplying food to the Yan army and turn to aid the Li army. β
Lin Zhi's spirit moved, and he laughed: "If you don't say that I will forget, please quickly tell King Li that I want to expand the radius of three hundred miles." At present, the war situation is urgent, and I ask King Li not to hesitate, so as not to delay the major event of the military aircraft. β
Calling her treacherous or unscrupulous, she just took advantage of the fire to rob.
"You, you..."Li Chen broke out in a big cold sweat again, angry and helpless, trembling and pointing at Lin Zhiling, "Madame's ancestor is in business, right?" β
Lin Zhiling laughed rudely: "You are really sharp-eyed, hehe." β
The two argued over the terms, and at the same time, Xiao Si arrived at the county government with a horse. Master Lin has stayed in the mansion since he came to Qianzhou, and when he heard that Yan Bing suddenly surrounded the county mansion, his careful heart noticed it, and quickly hid in the latrine. However, how could the huge man evade the search of the Yan soldiers, and he was caught by the soldiers in the middle hall after a while.
Zhen Bing was originally honest and unassertive, but when he saw such a situation, he was blinded. used to be held up by people from above whenever he encountered a major event, and he was only responsible for being called, but now he has become the master to deal with Xiao Si, and he is so panicked that he doesn't know what to do.
"Don't be nervous, Lord Zhen, come, sit down together."
Xiao Si first appeased Zhen Bing, and then pretended to invite Master Lin to sit down, handed over a cup of tea with his own hands, and said with a smile: "How could Master Lin come to Qianzhou?" β
The soldiers on all sides hid in hidden places and were heavily guarded.
Since leaving Huaicheng, Master Lin knows that he has no more than two results, one is that there are fish that are safe and sound, and the other is that there are fish in distress and he is in trouble. He was much calmer when he had such a mentality, took the tea and took a sip of it and said, "Come here to run business." β
"Running business? With Lord Zhen? β
Xiao Si seemed to know that Master Lin was lying, but he was not afraid to go around with his old man.
Master Lin: "No, no, no, not with Master Zhen." β
"Oh?" Xiao Si looked at Zhen Bing and deliberately asked, "Is that really the case?" β
"Yes, indeed." Zhen Bing hurriedly nodded in affirmation.
Xiao Si: "Then why is Master Lin in the house." β
Master Lin hurriedly relieved Zhen Bing: "Lord Xiao, aren't you joking, Lord Zhen is the county guard of Qianzhou, how can the old man come here to do business, he has to get through the way here, and have a better relationship with the host, do you say this is the reason." β
"It seems to be this reason, hehe," Xiao Si made a look of sudden realization and slapped his head, "Hey, I almost forgot about my memory, I came today to bring a generous gift to Master Lin and Ling Ai, the agate pillow and agarwood bracelet from the Western Regions, and I didn't invite Miss Lin to come out to see these rare things." β
Master Lin immediately erected a cold hair, sure enough, he came for his daughter, how could he fall for Xiao Si. Master Lin instantly cried and lost his face, and shed two old tears: "Why do you bother to rub salt on the old man's wound, as we all know, my son's whereabouts were unknown three years ago, and it hurts when I mention the old man Ling'er, but she is so young that she has not had time to have children... Only... Whining! β
Zhen Bing hurriedly wiped away his tears for Master Lin, and begged Xiao Sidao: "Master Lin is the only one who loves Miss Lin, and I hope that Lord Xiao will understand, so don't ask." β
"Less pretending!"
Toasting without eating and drinking, Xiao Si couldn't bear to tear his face, and the quilt was heavily buckled on the table, "Come on, where is Lin Zhiling hiding?" β
Master Lin was startled by Xiao Si's sudden painting style, his nightmare came after all, and now Xiao Si came to point out that some fish had become a criminal minister, and he was afraid that he would take on some great crime of exterminating the clan. This will be unclear, if Lin Zhiling falls into the hands of Yan Bing, wouldn't it be a sheep into the tiger's mouth. No, he must not let his daughter fall into the hands of thieves.
"Old man... The old man didn't understand what Lord Xiao meant," Master Lin changed out of excitement and grabbed Xiao Si's clothes, "Could it be that the adults know the news of my son, and I will be grateful to the adults to tell me!" β
Xiao Si pushed away Master Lin in annoyance, sat down arrogantly, and threatened: "Still pretending? You are full of energy, you don't have the heart to watch it if you want to play me, don't you tell your old man, Yu Youyu has committed the crime of punishing the nine clans, and the Lin family has all been imprisoned, so it's up to you and Miss Lin. β
Master Lin was panicked: "Is he guilty of having fish?" Impossible, Majesty XiΓ went to the north to make amends, and now he has not returned, how do you know that His Majesty is going to take the fish. β
"Hmph, the old guy is really stupid, how could His Majesty personally let Yu Youyu go, you are too naΓ―ve."
