"Since they refuse to surrender, then kill, and leave no one behind." The soldiers were already red-eyed, but when they heard Lin Xuan's order, they clenched the weapons in their hands and continued to fight.

After returning to the capital, Lai Wu, Pi Po, and Lin Xuan were already injured a lot, and Lin Xuan was a little better, and he could barely go to court.

"The last general did not have time to report the situation on the front line to His Majesty, so he slaughtered nearly 200,000 people of the black army without authorization, and the order was also given by the last general, and it had nothing to do with General Lai and General Pi. I hope that Your Majesty will punish the crimes of the last general. Lin Xuan said.

"Uncle Guo, please get up quickly." Yin Tingchang said: "I understand that the generals will be outside, and the king's orders will not be affected, and besides, since they do not surrender, they must not let the tiger return to the mountain."

"Kechen still let Jin Yiyu go......"

"Good put! This King Wu suffered a defeat and went back, and the faction that did not support King Wu in the court of the Black Kingdom and the faction that supported King Wu had to have a unique debate, and we in Dou Kingdom just watched their liveliness. Yin Tingchang said: "Tell me, what reward do you want?" Do you want to go to the front line to lead the troops, or do you want to stay in Changling? ”

"The minister did not dare to ask for a reward."

"You became famous in the first battle this time, and my courtiers all called you the god of war today, when you killed 400,000 Zhao pawns in Baiqikeng, isn't that it?"

Lin Xuan hurriedly said: "It's different, it's different. If Your Majesty has to reward me, then I am willing to give the reward to the two generals Lai and Pi and their soldiers, as well as the soldiers who died in battle. ”

"Good! Then reward the soldiers. ”

After Lin Xuan left, Gonggong Wei said in Yin Tingchang's ear: "Your Majesty, this General Lin is really expected, and he cherishes the soldiers very much, which is worthy of praise."

"Uncle Lin knows how to be restrained, unlike others, it is worth reusing! Now that Liu Mo is gone, the south does need a new general, a general who can be under our control, Lin Xuan is not suitable, his talent is no less than Liu Mo, leaving him in the south, like Liu Mo, is a loose horse. ”

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

"The concubine asks the emperor for peace."

Yin Tingchang said: "I called you early in the morning, I must have disturbed your rest, I have something I want to tell you."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"The crown prince is eighteen years old this year, right? He has been in this deep palace since he was a child, and the number of times he has been out of Changling can be counted with two hands. It's still like a child, you, the queen mother, can't be spoiled all the time. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine feels that the prince is weak, and he is not as good as other princes, and he is too tired to toss, and he is afraid that it will not be good for him."

Yin Tingchang said: "Ji'er is one year younger than Huai'er, and she can ride horses and shoot horses, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, do you want your children to lose behind others all the time?" No matter how much I like other little princes, can't it be the crown prince who takes over this country for me? He doesn't run around much, and there are some things that no one can teach him. ”

"Then what does the emperor think?"

"Uncle Lin Guo, didn't he just come back from a meritorious service? Let Huai'er follow his uncle to the army for training, he must have some knowledge of this military power, and he can't be like me, he will understand everything when he is old. A person who wants to be the emperor in the future, how can he do it without enduring some hardship? ”

"Your Majesty, concubine...... The concubine is afraid of Huai'er......"

"Don't worry, that's his own uncle, and he can't be treated badly. Even if you endure a little hardship, you won't go to the border to fight with people. Knowing that the prince is your heart, but you can't protect him all your life, let him learn to be independent, and let him make his own decisions about some things. ”

Of course, the crown prince Yin Huai is willing to go, and staying in the East Palace every day is like a prison bird in a cage. Now that he finally has the opportunity to go out, does he care if he suffers or not? However, Yin Tingchang thought about it, and was afraid that Yin Huai would be alone in the barracks and would not be able to stay, so he asked the eldest prince Yin Yuan and the third prince Yin Ji to accompany him to the Changling camp.

……

Fenghong County.

"Master Huang is in retreat, how can I have time to see you?" The person who came was Master Huang's apprentice Huang Xiaojin.

Duan Zishou said, "Do you know who this person is?"

"The emperor can't come up, not to mention a robber palace that no longer exists, the rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, don't think that you are great if you are a big official."

"You ......"

Liu Jinlong stopped him and said, "My subordinates are not sensible, Master Huang, forgive me, since the master is in retreat, we just have to wait."

Do you understand the meaning of this retreat? Retreat is not about sleeping behind closed doors, but about not seeing outsiders. ”

Liu Zhenlong smiled: "Of course I know, I'll just wait, and wait for him to see me."

"Master retreats are all about coming of age, and they don't just wait for them."

"It's fine." Liu Zhenlong pointed to the tavern opposite: "I have long heard that Master Huang is addicted to alcohol, I bought the tavern opposite, and we live directly inside, when Master Huang wants to drink, you can drink as much as you want."

"Second son, it seems that you are ......"

Zhang Zhanying said: "He is the eighth king who eats scales and has an iron heart." You, let's meet your master. ”

"As I said, Master is in retreat, and I can't help you. But I don't care where you buy the tavern and where you live, and when you see Master depends on your luck. ”

"Thank you." Liu Jinlong saluted and left with the two.

"The two of you go to Master Zhao in the Yamen of the county order, the three drunkards just get together at the table."

"What about you?"

"Leave it alone, I'll go somewhere by myself."

Although Zhang Zhanying was not smart enough, he also guessed that the place where Liu Jinlong was going was nothing more than the place where Yu Mengxi was buried.

"Second son, why do you have to find Master Huang? No one can stop you. Duan Zishou said.

Liu Jinlong didn't answer, wrapped his cloak tightly, Fenghong's winter was really cold. Zhang Zhanying and Duan Zishou watched him go away, Liu Jinlong lowered his head, his obsession came from a dream.

In his dream, he saw Yu Mengxi.

"You're so smart, haven't you ever doubted it? What happened when your memory was interrupted? ”

"I'm having a lot of confusion right now."

"Don't you think it's weird? Why didn't my father show too much sadness over my passing? ”

"Why?"

"Because I'm not dead, it's a contract. When I am a ghost, you are a human, and when I am a human, you are a ghost. ”

"What do you mean?"

The next day, Liu Jinlong told Yu County Ling about this strange dream, and Yu County Ling said that he didn't understand what this meant, and his sadness may not be obvious.
