Chapter 51: Drag Lin Mubai into the water
The corners of Lin Mubai's lips pursed a sneer, and after he finished speaking, he took Lu Zhiyao into the palace. Lu Zhiyao was thinking about what he should say when he saw the emperor. But after she really met Lin Yunlong, maybe it was because of Lin Mubai's reliable backer, so it didn't seem to be as troublesome as she imagined in advance.
Just as he thought before, Lu Zhiyao's appearance surprised Lin Yunlong. And the matter of the Qing Netherworld that came out of Lu Zhiyao's mouth made him frown even more.
Lin Yunlong glanced at Lin Mubai with gloomy eyes and asked, "What do you want to say when you brought her here?" ”
"I don't want to say anything, I just stop by to join in the fun." Lin Mubai smiled slightly, automatically sat on the chair, then looked at Lu Zhiyao, and said, "If you have something to say, I have to go back." ”
Lu Zhiyao was embarrassed by the atmosphere between the two, and took a deep breath, Lu Zhiyao began to ask the emperor whether he would let Lin Yinan lead his troops back.
After Lu Zhiyao's words were finished, Lin Yunlong was silent for a long time, he didn't expect Lin Yinan to dare to tell others about this matter.
"So what?"
"Don't do that!" Lu Zhiyao said a little anxiously, and then told Lin Yunlong all his thoughts and plans, so that Lin Yunlong's eyes when he looked at her gradually sharpened.
"Aren't you afraid that the eighth child will die in the Qing Netherworld and won't be able to come back?"
Lin Mubai's ridiculous voice came from behind him, Lu Zhiyao glanced back at him and replied: "That's only to blame him for his inferior skills, and it won't let the emperor's hard work for so many years be ruined." Those elite soldiers are to be used to fight the green soldiers, not to fight the soldiers of Nangong Lingfeng. ”
"Hehe, you girl, you really dare to say it." Lin Mubai leaned back in his chair and met the gaze projected by Lin Yunlong over there. "I don't know if the emperor thinks her method is feasible?"
"Let me think about it." Lin Yunlong lowered his head, feeling that Lu Zhiyao's method was feasible, but he didn't want to start a conflict with the Nangong family head-on, he just wanted to take back part of the military power in Nangong Lingfeng's hands with a proper reason and excuse. After all, there is still the external threat of the Qing Netherworld, so the Nangong family can't get rid of it now.
Lin Mubai stared at Lin Yunlong leisurely, and suddenly asked: "Lu Zhiyao, have you ever thought that even if you contain the Qing soldiers and make the Qing Ying Kingdom give up the idea of sending troops, once you annoy Nangong Lingfeng and he really rebels, what should you do then?" The emperor executed Nangong Lingfeng, wouldn't the Qing Ying Kingdom be even more unscrupulous? ”
As soon as Lin Mubai said this, Lu Zhiyao immediately understood what he meant. The brain turned very fast at this time, and without thinking too much, a solution had already flashed in Lu Zhiyao's mind.
"I don't want to offend the Nangong family, and I want to weaken the military power of the Nangong family, so it's better for the prince to take over and give the military power that was once in the hands of General Xia to the prince, in this way, it is better than no one to take care of it. The Nangong family has always been a little afraid of the prince, and if they know this, they will also think twice about whether to force it. As for the soldiers in Nangong Lingfeng's hands, the emperor can wait for the prince to destroy the green soldiers outside the city, and then surrender the crime to Nangong Lingfeng and transfer half of it to the prince's hands. Because these young soldiers all sneaked into the Xia Lai Kingdom from under the noses of their Nangong family. All the soldiers sent by the Qing Netherworld are dead, and the grain depot over there has been burned down again, they will definitely feel unhappy about this cooperation with the Nangong family, and they will not repeat the same mistakes in the future. ”
Lu Zhiyao finished her words in one breath, although she turned her back to Lin Mubai, she still felt Lin Mubai's cold gaze, and almost wanted to shoot her through.
"Finished?" Lin Mubai didn't wait for Lin Yunlong to speak and asked.
"That's it." Lu Zhiyao replied in a whisper, looking down at his toes.
"The emperor still ordered the selection of masters, this matter, the minister can't do it." Lin Mubai got up and walked to Lu Zhiyao's side, and at the moment when Lu Zhiyao squinted at him secretly, he smiled coldly, which made Lu Zhiyao stunned for a moment, and went to look at his shoes again.
After Lin Mubai finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door. "I have something to do, so I'll go first."
Lin Yunlong waited for Lin Mubai to walk to the door, and when he was about to push the door out, he said unexpectedly: "This matter is so decided, and when I find a suitable candidate, I will ask for the military power back." ”
Lin Mubai turned his head to look at Lin Yunlong suddenly, and the moment the eyes of the two met, Lu Zhiyao began to regret that he had followed Lin Mubai today.
The matter ended like this, Lu Zhiyao was sent away by the emperor and walked outside the palace behind Lin Mubai's ass. always kept a certain distance from Lin Mubai, Lu Zhiyao was afraid that Lin Mubai would not hold back and beat himself to death.
Lin Mubai didn't say anything along the way, but after he and Lu Zhiyao returned to King Mu's mansion, he said softly: "You are not small." ”
"It was taught by the master." Lu Zhiyao wanted to please him, but as soon as the words came out, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with these words, but it was more like a provocation. "Uncle Huang, I can't help ...... either"
In a hurry, Lu Zhiyao had no choice but to relent. "Didn't the emperor also say that when he found a suitable candidate, he would take back the military power. The emperor will also be worried that it will be unfavorable for him if you hold the military power, so he will definitely find a way as soon as possible. ”
"You're thoughtful."
Lin Mubai's face was expressionless, but Lu Zhiyao knew that he must be extremely angry now. Lu Zhiyao has always been nervous, ready to escape at any time. So as soon as Lin Mubai stood up, she reflexively stepped back and arrived at the door of the room.
"What are you doing?" Lu Zhiyao's actions made Lin Mubai slightly stunned.
"Nothing." Lu Zhiyao saw that Lin Mubai didn't want to make a move, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. thought that Lin Mubai couldn't help but want to hit her, but fortunately not.
Lin Mubai stared at Lu Zhiyao, and was really sulky about being accidentally pulled into the water by her today. was kind enough to help her but was used as a stepping stone by her, is it that she has been too polite to her recently, so she will have the feeling that he can be used by her so much?
"Go back! Don't let me see you! Lin Mubai strode past Lu Zhiyao's side and scolded in a low voice the moment he pushed open the door.
Lu Zhiyao waited for Lin Mubai to walk away before cautiously looking back at his back. Leaving King Mu's Mansion in fear, Lu Zhiyao returned to his residence, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Ling Yi and the others standing in the courtyard, looking at him in unison, with a nervous look on his face.
"Master, you're fine, right?" Ling Yi hurriedly walked over to Lu Zhiyao's side and glanced at her to see if she was showing signs of injury.
"It's fine." Lu Zhiyao waved his hand weakly, walked a few steps and sat on the stone bench. "The prince took me into the palace to see the emperor, you don't have to worry."
Lu Zhiyao's words made Ling Yi feel even more strange, "Master, Lord Mu asked someone to send a horse to the Eight Emperors' Mansion, do you know what it means?" ”
"When?" Lu Zhiyao was slightly stunned and asked.
"Just this morning."
Lu Zhiyao pondered for a moment and said softly, "He wants to help us." Ling Yi, you immediately ride that horse out of the city to find Lin Yinan. The emperor's secret order may not arrive when, but I think it should definitely not be as fast as the horse of Lord Mu. The eighth prince of your family has always been smart, and there is no reason why he can't think of it, but just in case you still go there yourself, if he really comes back with his troops, everything will be over. ”
"Minions, let's do it." When it comes to the life and death of his master, Ling Yi does not dare to slack off. Although Lin Mubai's sudden help made him feel so strange, things had come to this point, and he couldn't take care of it so much.
After Ling Yi left, Lu Zhiyao looked at Bai Lixuan and the three of them. Seeing their expectant looks in his eyes, Lu Zhiyao could understand their current mood.
These three people were also arrogant, and the current situation was an unprecedented frustration and embarrassment for them in the past. They must all be looking forward to the day when they can fight with the Nangong family and defeat the Nangong family to rehabilitate the Xia family, but after entering the palace today and seeing the emperor, Lu Zhiyao knew that it would take a long time.
"The three of you need to make some preparations, and you will need to contribute when attacking the green soldiers outside the city. I'll find someone to take you out of the city to find out the news first, find out the location of the other party and determine the number of people, and then make a plan. Lu Zhiyao lowered his eyes and began to search his mind for someone who could come in handy. Lan Ruoyan can't do it, and Zhan Yulong still needs to stay in the palace. She just offended Lin Mubai, and it is not good to trouble him again at this time, who else can she find and use now?
Lu Zhiyao pondered for a long time, and finally remembered someone. Chu Ziqian, the person who has harmed so many innocent women from good families, now it is time to make some contributions to the people.
Lu Zhiyao went out and went straight to Chu's house. It didn't take much effort to enter the gate of the Chu family, and the family at the door didn't ask much when they saw her, and after knowing that she was looking for Chu Ziqian, she brought her to Chu Ziqian without saying a word.
When Lu Zhiyao saw Chu Ziqian, he was standing in the courtyard looking at the tree in front of the window with a sad face, Lu Zhiyao glanced at the courtyard and frowned slightly. The yard is not small, but now it is a little crowded because it is full of trees. And what made Lu Zhiyao care was that the yard was not planted with anything else, all of them were peach trees.
Chu Ziqian heard footsteps and looked back. When he saw a woman standing next to Jiading, his eyes immediately lit up, put away the sad expression just now, and walked in front of her with a smiling face.
"The girl is coming for me? I don't know what the girl's surname is, what is the age of Fang? Is there something wrong with coming to me? ”
Before Lu Zhiyao could say anything, he was asked a few questions by Chu Ziqian. Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said softly: "I haven't seen you for some days, but Young Master Chu is really getting more and more carefree and happy." ”
Chu Ziqian blinked in confusion when he heard Lu Zhiyao's voice, but soon, he remembered who the owner of the voice was.
Chu Ziqian gasped, looked at Lu Zhiyao with a surprised expression, and the whole person also took two steps back, then looked at the family member slightly angrily, and said, "Why did you bring her in?!" ”
"Didn't the young master order that if a girl was looking for you, he must bring it to you?"
