Guo Kun smacked his lips and nodded: "I can't help you with these things, ...... recently Privy Envoy Yang found fault with me in many ways and restricted my right to transfer troops. Tonight, your junior sister came to ask for help, I have already transferred troops privately, and it will be a trouble to turn back. I don't care, but my father wants me not to offend Yang Shumi. Those rumors last time made my father very uneasy, and he has been very low-key recently, so it is not appropriate to say too much in front of the emperor. So the court can only rely on yourself. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "I understand." Brother, you should think carefully about the current situation with your father-in-law. Although the rumors last time were rumors, the emperor must have a mustard in his heart. It's wise to keep a low profile at the moment. But with the likes of Yang Jun, you can't compromise. You are the deputy commander of the Guards Infantry Division, and you already have the right to transfer troops, and Yang Jun, as a privy envoy, cannot limit your power. Unless he dismisses you. You can't compromise on this. You don't have to speak up, but you have to support me with practical actions at all times, just like you did today. I know that you are not only here to save Caiwei, but also to care about my safety. Father-in-law can keep his head down, you don't have to. Da Zhou belongs to your Guo family, and it is not appropriate for you to shrink your head and let others point fingers. Sometimes, in the midst of chaos, you must show your ability and responsibility, which will increase your weight and prestige in the hearts of the people of the world. No one wants to be memoral all their lives, do they? ”

Guo Kun was stunned, puzzled in his heart. Lin Jue's words seemed to mean something, but he didn't seem to say anything. But the implication of his words was actually to express dissatisfaction with the recent low-key shrinkage of their father and son. Thinking about it, when Concubine Rong's case came out, King Liang was half scared to death, and he didn't know what to do. But the case finally settled down temporarily in a subtle and slightest way, which made King Liang find incredible. Afterwards, Lin Jue was praised for his proper handling and excellent strategy. As everyone knows, the person who has done the thing alone is in front of the storm to resist the storm, so the person who benefits does not shrink his head, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.

"Brother doesn't think much about it, I'm just talking. At this moment, he is asking for his brother's help. You should order the mountains to be searched immediately and the thieves who have escaped. When you come in through the mouth of the valley, they will not dare to withdraw from the mouth of the valley, but they will flee in other directions. So we still have a chance to catch it alive. If you catch them, you can immediately remove their jaws and remove the poison sac from their mouths to prevent them from committing suicide. Maybe you can't ask anything, but what if you ask for a confession? It's also easier to do. Lin Jue said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I should have done that. Someone came, passed on my order, General Sun, and General Chen each led 500 men and horses to search the entire West Mountain and capture the thieves. Search carefully for me, and don't let go of a place. Guo Kun immediately ordered.

The herald ordered the forbidden army to take the order and leave. Lin Jue nodded, in fact, he didn't have much hope of catching these thieves. Mo said that it was difficult to search for people in the mountains, just because this group of people was ready to die, and it was too late to stop them from committing suicide if they were caught. And even if you take the poison sac from their mouths, you may not be able to ask for a confession. The reason why these people were chosen must be some dead soldiers. The person behind it would never commit such negligence.

But the reason why Lin Jue asked Guo Kun to search was because he didn't want those remaining thieves to live. Even if they are forced to bite through the poison sac and commit suicide, it will cost them their lives. The death of one more of these people is to avenge the death of the nursing home. That's all.

Everyone sorted out and prepared and began to slowly descend the mountain. The corpses of the guards who died in the battle were also carried down the mountain by the soldiers of the Forbidden Army. The Lin family's chariot and horses were still in the forest in the valley, but they had not suffered much damage. The bodies of several servants were also brought out, and dozens of corpses were loaded into five carts. Vehicles are limited, except for Xie Yingying and the tired Fang Huanqiu, who share a carriage, the rest of the people can only ride horses. Those who can't ride horses can only follow. Lin Jue rode a horse on his back with the sleeping Lin Zhan on his back. The seriously wounded were also pulled by horses. The group walked for two hours in embarrassment, and at dawn the tired people finally saw the tall silhouette of the capital in the dim sky.

When entering the city, the cart full of corpses shocked the soldiers at the city gate. Lin Jue did not hide it, and told the city gate guards about the attack. Soon, the news that Lord Lin's family was attacked by thieves in Xishan Cui Valley began to spread. This is also the most explosive news in recent months.

Lin Jue did not return to the palace, and ordered someone to escort everyone back to the house, and he took more than a dozen guards to the palace by himself. He wanted to tell Guo Chong the news after he woke up. This matter must make some people pay a devastating price, and Lin Jue must take this opportunity to complete the final blow.

Guo Chong hadn't gotten up yet. I don't know if it's because of the proper conditioning of the medicine or because of the warmer weather, his condition is getting better day by day. He used to be out of breath when he walked, but now he can practice a few times in the garden in the morning and evening.

When I was young, I didn't care about this kind of thing, thinking that it was a natural thing. But when you are old, even after you are seriously ill, you know the preciousness of health. When you are young, you can wave your hand and say something big, saying that you are not afraid of life and death, and you are not afraid of death. But that's because there's a lot of time to squander, and death is still far away. Once you reach Guo Chong's age, knowing the destiny of heaven and sparing your life, every day is precious. What's more, his identity is the emperor of the Great Zhou, and he is unwilling to give up this life of dominating the world. It was unthinkable for him.

Therefore, the improvement of his condition is tantamount to a new life for Guo Chong, and he cherishes the health of his body even more. Coarse tea and light rice every day, green vegetables and tofu, I don't know that the emperor takes the lead in leading by example of frugality - of course, he is indeed not a luxury person - but in fact, he does this according to the advice of health people, and a light diet is good for health. Moreover, Guo Chong also began to abstain. The young and beautiful concubines of the harem never had the opportunity to be summoned by him to the Yanhe Palace, Guo Chong believed that although life needs to be enjoyed, without life, it will lose any possibility of enjoyment. For a person of Guo Chong's status, women are no longer the goal to pursue, power is. Enjoying the feeling of being an emperor is far more interesting than enjoying a woman. If sacrificing the pleasure of the maiden can prolong the time of holding power, then why not.

Lin Jue rushed into the Yanhe Hall with a fierce aura, and even the palace guards guarding the door tried to stop him, but Lin Jue was dumbfounded. The guards didn't dare to offend Lin Jue, Lin Jue has been a big celebrity in the imperial court recently, and it is common to enter and leave the palace. Moreover, he has another identity, that is, the emperor's son-in-law. Although it has not been made public, it has become almost an open secret of the DPRK and China. Sometimes, in some places, Lin Jue, as the third envoy, can be blocked, but Lin Jue, as a colt, is unimpeded.

Outside the door of the dormitory, several attendants were standing at the door chatting, and they were all startled when they saw Lin Jue covered in dust and rushed over dirty. An attendant named Xiao Deng Zi stepped forward and said with a smile: "Why did Lord Lin come here so early in the morning?" It's just dawning. Why so early? ”

"Please let your father-in-law go in and tell the emperor that Lin Jue has something important to ask to see." Lin Jue arched his hand.

"Your Majesty, it will take half an hour for the Emperor to get up. The emperor now gets up at a regular time, and he only gets up at three o'clock, and he can't do it for a moment longer, and he can't do it a moment earlier. Do you want to drink some tea and wait? Xiao Deng Zi smiled with a smile.

"I can't wait, I have to see the emperor immediately." Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "You don't know it, I'll go in by myself." ”

"Hey, Lord Lin, don't you understand the rules of the palace? What is it to break into the dormitory? Lord Lin just waited. Think about those of us too. The emperor was angry, you Lord Lin are nothing, we will be unlucky. Xiao Deng Zi hurriedly stopped Lin Jue, who wanted to break in.

Where did Lin Jue have time to quarrel with these people, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lin Jue has something important to see." Please get up, Your Majesty. ”

Several of the attendants had a bitter face and had a bad seizure. Lin Jue shouted several times, and called out Qian Delu, who was serving inside. Qian Delu thought that the attendants were making noise, and before they reached the door, they pressed their throats and scolded.

"Are you all fed? Is it a funeral? The emperor hasn't woken up yet. After a while, I got angry, and I peeled you one by one and threw you into the lotus pond like a leper dog. ”

Several attendants hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Qian, it's not us, it's Lord Lin who is shouting." We can't stop it. ”

Qian Delu's figure appeared at the door, and when he saw Lin Jue standing there with a gloomy face, he was startled, and hurriedly said, "Oh, what's wrong?" Why does Lord Lin look like this? Why did you come early in the morning? ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Father-in-law Qian, please report to the emperor immediately, saying that I have something important to report." Don't hide it from you, my father-in-law said that I was able to enter the palace alive today, and I was almost buried under the sword, and there was no place to bury me. ”

Qian Delu was even more startled, and was about to ask for details, but saw Lin Jue screaming in a straight voice again.

"The minister Lin Jue asked to see the emperor, please get up to meet the minister, and report something important."

Qian Delu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't call it, I'll wake up the emperor for you." You woke up the emperor, and the emperor is going to lose his temper. Hey, what's going on. ”

After Qian Delu entered, Lin Jue frowned and paced back and forth at the door, Xiao Dengzi and several other chamberlains stared at Lin Jue's wrinkled and dirty clothes and pointed, Lord Lin didn't even wear an official uniform, and the robe he was wearing had a few big cuts, as if he had been cut by a knife. It does look like something dangerous has happened. But I don't know what it is. I wanted to ask, but I didn't dare, so I just looked at each other and whispered to each other.

Not long after, Qian Delu hurriedly came out and said in a low voice: "The emperor is awake, Lord Lin should go in." ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

Qian Delu said: "Lord Lin doesn't change his clothes? ”

Lin Jue was dumbfounded and said, "I just want the emperor to take a look at these." ”

Qian Delu shook his head, said no more, and led Lin Jue to the dormitory.
