Liu Er walked out slowly, she looked at Lin Maolin and said: "Hello General Lin, thank you for saving your life for the first meeting, this second meeting is obviously my fault, I shouldn't dress up like this maid and let General Lin recognize the wrong person." ”

Lin Maolin glanced at His Majesty and said to Liu Er: "Her Royal Highness the princess is rude, if your subordinates have any offense, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess for forgiveness, I, Lin Maolin, will definitely change it." ”

Liu Er's name is Zhou Liuyue, is the emperor's own sister, among dozens of brothers and sisters, this Zhou Liuyue has the highest status in the emperor's mind, the emperor's favorite little sister, there was once such a story in the palace, Zhou Jingyang did not want his sister to marry to Tubo, and pulled his sister to kick over the story of Luan's palace glazed cup, escaped from the palace, and coerced his father's story.

Zhou Jingyang scolded loudly: "Lin Maolin, what's wrong with you, you saved my sister from the hands of gangsters, you are a meritorious hero, what do you want?" If your words move me, I'll give it to you. ”

Lin Maolin was full of thoughts, he didn't know what this temptation was, and he didn't know what the emperor's temperament was, but there were some etiquette things in the palace that could not be ignored, Lin Maolin thought for a while, and said: "Report to Your Majesty, Lin Maolin should die, what is the identity of the eldest princess, I shouldn't talk about the eldest princess, as a courtier, I should have done my part as a courtier, and I committed the crime of great disrespect, please punish Your Majesty." Lin Maolin hurriedly knelt down and arched his hand.

The emperor helped Lin Maolin up and said, "You are a general appointed by His Majesty, what's wrong with you?" None of what you say is wrong, please get up. ”

Lin Maolin still didn't want to get up, knelt on the ground and said: "The minister will abide by the duty of the courtier." ”

Zhou Jingyang let go of Lin Maolin's hand, turned around and said with his hands behind his back: "Get up by yourself, you are a great hero, a general of the imperial court, I shouldn't have punished you, but you violated the law of the Great Zhou, the eldest princess is a small matter, and the bandit mountain is a big matter!" ”

Lin Maolin knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, I am at fault, you can punish me alone, it has nothing to do with these brothers, they are all kind-hearted people, and this time they have also made great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty, please Your Majesty give them this opportunity, I believe in them." ”

Zhou Jingyang turned his head, the cold light flashed, and he saw Kai Yin approaching Lin Maolin, and the soldiers on the left and right were eager to try.

Lin Maolin didn't make any extra moves, knelt quietly, and said: "Your Majesty, the country is broken, every inch of land lost by the country is what we should recapture, as a son and daughter of the Central Plains, now that the foreign enemy is invading, I am willing to charge, lead the soldiers to crusade against other countries, and regain the lost territory." ”

Zhou Jingyang laughed and said, "Lin Maolin, Lin Maolin, do you know what you did?" More than half of your subordinates are bandits of the Luoyang generation, what can they do? Can you guarantee their allegiance to the royal family? ”

Lin Maolin nodded, and said affirmatively: "You can rest assured that if I choose them, there will be no way out, Your Majesty, are the Luoyang bandits really heinous." Have they done anything that is not good for the people and harmful to the country? Have you ever wondered why these people are able to stay true to their hearts? Why are these people willing to choose to stay in Luoyang when Luoyang falls, do they just want to monopolize the mountains and become a heinous and murderous bandit? This Luoyang is surrounded by dozens of mountains, large and small, and the mountains are connected, and they have their own beliefs. ”

Zhou Jingyang asked: "Then what did you General Lin say, what is there in Luoyang that they are willing to pay for their lives and stick to regardless of their own safety?" ”

Lin Maolin laughed and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this Luoyang is their root, fleeing Luoyang, it is not their will to go to the bandit mountain, they have another purpose." ”

Zhou Jingyang angrily reprimanded: "Come on, pull out this general who is bewitching the public and behead him!" ”

The emperor's words exploded in this place like five thunderbolts.

The phantom spirit chime came to Lin Maolin and said to His Majesty: "Report to Your Majesty, Lin Maolin is also in a hurry, you can let him go for the sake of his meritorious rescue this time." ”

The eldest princess Zhou Liuyue also came and said, "Your Majesty, let General Lin go." ”

The soldiers behind Lin Maolin passed one by one, and they all heard that General Lin was ordered to be killed by the emperor for their affairs, at this time, the soldiers looked left and right, looked at each other, looked at each other, some of them were ready, the weapons in their hands were tightly held in the palms of their hands, as bandits, their nature was naturally ......

"Please forgive the emperor, General Lin's nature is not bad, I beg Your Majesty to open the net, and beg Your Majesty to let General Lin go~"

Thousands of people knelt on the ground, there were bandits from Luoyang, and there were also soldiers from the Northern Expedition, they followed General Lin from birth to death, at this moment, General Lin suffered, how could they not be angry? One by one clenched their fists, not in awe of the royal family, but, they had no awe at all, just because General Lin was the general of the Great Zhou, they were under the hands of the general, for this reason, they knelt down, just when the rescue, Lin Maolin heard someone say, we should not come this time, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, I don't know what the temperament of this emperor is, in case a moody, this time it is the heavens and men who will never come, Lin Maolin interrupted them, "Don't talk about the dynasty in vain." "They also retreated, but they are not like General Lin, the justice in their hearts is by no means loyal to the court, otherwise they would not have fallen into the grass, here

In Luoyang City, none of them are afraid, even the people of the imperial court, the fantasy of being in the army and joining the army has never appeared, and the big bandit word on everyone's arm is the best proof.

Kai Yin came to the emperor and said softly: "Report to Your Majesty, General Lin's people are all kneeling. ”

After Kai hidden, the emperor said: "For the sake of the Phantom Scholar and the eldest princess, I will spare your life for the time being, and also for the sake of General Lin saving the eldest princess, this time, even if you have the merits and demerits, I don't pursue it does not mean that I condone you, I hope you will cherish it in the future, keep in mind that you are the courtier of the Great Zhou, before you do something out of the ordinary, you have to think about today, think about everything that the Great Zhou gave you, this is your home, this is the place you are worth protecting, I want you to remember this moment, and finally wish you a successful career and a glorious return to the god of war." ”

Lin Maolin arched his hand and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, how can I, Lin Maolin, dare not call myself the god of war, I am only willing to protect an inch of mountains and rivers in the Central Plains." ”

Zhou Jingyang said: "Remember what I said, you are the general of the Great Zhou." ”

Lin Maolin watched His Majesty leave, and stood up himself, and the phantom spirit chime came to Lin Maolin and said, "General Lin still doesn't thank Your Majesty for Enlong?" ”

Lin Maolin arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing a grace." ”

At this time, the little princess ran over and took Lin Maolin's hand and said, "How about you take me to play?" There is still an hour to go, and I want to see the outside world. ”

Lin Maolin looked at the eldest princess with an innocent look and said, "Where to play?" ”

The eldest princess pointed to the distance and said, "On the mountain." ”

Lin Maolin hesitated for a moment and said, "This mountain is very high, very high, and it is estimated that it will not be finished in an hour." ”

Zhou Liuyue said: "Then let's go to the stream on the mountain, you take me to see, what kind of picture is the water flowing down the mountain?" ”

Lin Maolin said: "Okay, but before you go, you give me a few minutes of time, and I have to explain a few things to my brothers." ”

Zhou Liuyue said: "You go, I'll go back and sort it out, let's go to the place where we first met, I'll wait for you." Then he ran out.

Lin Maolin came to a soldier beside him and said: "You have to get my consent before doing anything in the future, before I am not perverted, you all give me honesty, you tell them that I, Lin Maolin, will always be a courtier of the Great Zhou, and you too, no matter what the circumstances, you can't do anything that is detrimental to the duty of the courtier." ”

"Yes, General Lin, I will tell them, you will always be our general," the soldier bowed, and then turned to leave.

A man in white with a six-foot sword on his back stood beside the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, why didn't you kill Lin Maolin?" None of his men were loyal to His Majesty. ”

Zhou Jingyang said: "Loyal to Da Zhou? Who else is faithful to the Great Zhou now? The imperial court is in trouble, who is willing to send troops to suppress it? They wish that the royal family would be destroyed, and that they would have their own troops? ”

The Great Swordsman said, "Who are they referring to?" What about Uncle Zhou Huang and Li Zhanming? ”

"Uncle Zhou Huang, I naturally trust them, but I am afraid that it will not be smooth sailing for them to transfer reinforcements to Sanjiang. If there is no one willing to come out to be the vanguard of the Central Plains to resist the enemy, how can he serve the public, the Central Plains is now a piece of scattered sand, everyone is like a bunker in the sand, although it may be drowned in the yellow sand at any time, but everyone is unwilling to come out to resist the yellow sand, can only let the flooding, there is a fluke psychology in the heart. Although Lin Maolin is not a famous family, he is innocent in heart, pure in nature, and deeply loved by bandits, he will do things that surprise us. ”

The great swordsman exclaimed: "Your Majesty still thinks a lot, and I admire it." ”

......

A big pig's trotter general came to the grassland, at this time, he didn't change anything, he was still the same costume, except for one more war horse, riding on the horse, which can be regarded as majestic.

"General Lin, I'm here."

Lin Maolin followed the sound and saw a girl standing on the road, with a sedan chair behind her and some servants on the left and right.

Lin Maolin quickly turned his head and ran over, and said, "Little princess, it's too late for your subordinates to keep you waiting." ”

Zhou Liuyue said: "Don't call me the eldest princess, I am close to you in age, you can only call me Sister Liu'er, in this palace, I will follow you." ”

Lin Maolin said: "Sister Liu'er. ”

Zhou Liuyue ordered: "You all go down." ”

The entourage and others all left, but when there was no one around, Lin Maolin said: "Sister Liu'er, has you ever raced a horse?" ”

Liu Er shook her head and said, "I was in a panic in the palace, I never got better, and I was afraid. ”

Lin Maolin looked at Liu Yue, and saw that her face had been painted with a light makeup, and she had a deep sense of slimness, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a depressed posture, a delicate face, and a light ear, just like a hibiscus out of the water.

On the grassland, a beautiful woman behind a general, holding him tightly with both hands, galloping on the grassland, like two lovers, in such two no-man's lands, weeds and butterflies frolicking happily, the sun is so gentle, lighting the way for them, illuminating the heart.

Lin Maolin asked: "How is it, is this scene of flowers in full bloom beautiful, have you ever seen such a moving picture before?" ”

The eldest princess shook her head and said, "No, there are only some rouge fans and some flattering villains in the palace."

, accustomed to seeing the world, appreciate the beauty of this wilderness, and really have a different world. ”

Lin Maolin laughed, and his voice replayed in the wilderness and drifted into the ears of many people.

"If you want to see the stream of the mountain stream, then I will take you to see it, just take a look, and we will go back after a look, your imperial brother doesn't know that you come out with me, in case the trip is delayed, I really don't know how I died." Lin Maolin spoke, and his tone came for a long time.

However, just as he was speaking, two hands behind him quietly reached out, hugged his waist, and a soft voice came: "General Lin, you will be fine, I will not let you be fine." ”

Lin Maolin was shocked by this sudden move, coughed lightly, and said, "The eldest princess is everyone's best girl, don't ruin the reputation of the eldest princess because of me." ”

However, at this moment, a courier came to the emperor and said: "Report to Your Majesty, the eldest princess and Lin Maolin have gone to the field alone." ”

The emperor said: "Go down." ”

The soldier stepped back.

The emperor ordered the soldiers on the side: "Pass it on, the eldest princess and Lin Maolin are talented and beautiful, a pair made in heaven." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it." A soldier commanded.

Everyone received the news, but at this moment, a team of people quietly arrived, guarding a Central Plains person, who was sneakily approaching the two.

Lin Maolin took the eldest princess's hand, looked at the stream of the mountain stream, and said, "This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, and I also hope to tell you these and share his beauty with you." ”

Liu Er is like a little rabbit, he listens to what Lin Maolin introduces, he is not picky at all, and he has no complaints, his eyes are full of pictures of mountains and rivers, and he looks stupid, Lin Maolin said: "Dumbfounded? What's better here? I'll show you. ”

Zhou Liuyue said nervously: "Lin Maolin, what are you doing?" Dangerous. ”

However, in his eyes, Lin Maolin rolled up his pants and said, "It's not dangerous, it's fun, do you want to come over?" ”

Zhou Liuyue said: "Don't." ”

However, at this time, Lin Maolin's two feet were already soaked in the water, looking at Liu'er motionless, Lin Maolin was angry and funny, and said, "Liu'er, don't move." ”

At the next moment, when Zhou Liuyue didn't react, Lin Maolin's hand had already come to his feet, and one hand moved irregularly.

"Don't, General Lin, what do you want to feel, men and women don't kiss. Ah~"

Zhou Liuyue was surprised, he only felt that his feet were cold, but they were very soft and comfortable, there were one or two red koi pecks on his feet, her skin was itchy, when she stood up, her whole body was shaking, Lin Maolin helped her, and said: "Be careful, I'll take you to feel it for yourself, beautiful mountains, rivers and lakes." ”

"Mm-hmm" Liu Er was almost speechless in surprise, she couldn't think of it before, she could really walk barefoot into this mountain stream one day, feel the gurgling stream, her heart was pounding, General Lin took her hand, here, for the first time, she experienced this place where ordinary people crawled and rolled, the most embarrassing and ordinary thing in the world.

"Am I going to be bitten by them?" Zhou Liuyue asked suspiciously.

Lin Maolin said helplessly: "No, you see that they are so cute, how can they bite you?" ”

Zhou Liu'er was still a little scared when she saw a fish swimming over, she didn't dare to look at it, and when she saw this little animal, her heart was even more nervous than them.

Lin Maolin took her hand and said, "Look, it's not afraid of you, why should you be afraid of it?" In the city, in the streets, they are the creatures that people sell, only in the mountains and forests, they are the happiest, the happiest, here, with me, you don't have to be afraid, the boy who grew up in the wild, does not know what the palace looks like, but knows everything about the wild. Lin Maolin straightened her chest slightly, looking like a small scene, these were all in Zhou Liuyue's eyes, she gently kicked a fish that was swimming towards him, and then smiled happily.

"Am I going to them off?"

Lin Maolin also laughed and said, "No." ”

After playing for two hours, the relationship between the two became a little deeper, and Lin Maolin pulled her back and said, "I'll take you out to play next time." ”

"Uh-huh"

Looking at Zhou Liuyue's cute and charming appearance, Lin Maolin felt the meaning of protecting a person for the first time, in order to protect this beauty, he had already decided that even if he would pay the price of his life in the future, he would not hesitate.

However, when they returned, there were corpses lying on the ground scattered on the ground by the stream.

Lin Maolin took this eldest princess, thinking that she was still a year older than herself, but she hadn't grown up, she hadn't seen anything, and in the palace, women had no social status, princesses and the like, they couldn't go out to play alone when they didn't have a designated marriage contract, and it was a royal taboo to go out to play with a strange man.

"We've been out for so long, the third brother will be angry. Let's go back quickly, what's the matter, General Lin said that I asked you to take me to play, does General Lin know? Looking at Zhou Liuyue's cute appearance, Lin Maolin said funny: "No need, don't be afraid, your brother won't scold me, it's getting late, pay attention to rest." ”

After Lin Maolin and the eldest princess separated, they came to the emperor's room and knocked on the door.
