Chapter 49: Lin Ji, long time no see
Although the "black and white banquet" held in Mustard City made Zhao Fu speechless, this time, which seemed nonsensical, also gave Zhao Fu and Lin Ji a buffer room.
Whether it is for Zhao Fu or Lin Ji, it is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing to meet on the battlefield, but fortunately, Zhao Fu acted quickly this time, and helped Zhao Qian take Zhongzhou City as quickly as possible with a surprise attack (of course, Long Shouyi's contribution can not be said to be without credit), and suppressed the riot of the Zhao family in Zhongzhou this time, so that the imperial capital no longer has any good reason to interfere in the internal affairs of the Zhao family.
After all, Zhao Yang, who asked for help from the imperial capital at the beginning, had already fallen into the hands of Zhao Qian, and of course Zhao Qian would not allow the forces of the imperial capital to intervene in his jurisdiction, so it can be said that Lin Ji ran away in vain this time.
"Boss......" Lin Ji sat next to Zhao Fu, but he didn't know how to speak.
Regarding his change of court and allegiance to the imperial capital Lin Sixing, Lin Ji didn't know how to explain to Zhao Fu at all.
In Lin Ji's eyes, Lin Sixing may not be one of those eternal masters who will circulate in the stories and ballads of the streets and alleys, but he can't resist Lin Sixing's excellent treatment of Lin Ji, in Lin Ji's opinion, it can already be described as the kind of heart-to-heart, not to mention...... Lin Ji couldn't let go of Miss Lin Long.
In short, it was all kinds of reasons, whether it was a coincidence or an accident, Lin Ji relied on his invincible skills in the imperial capital and the vision and experience he gained from following Zhao Fu in the northwest, so that he was quickly appointed by Lin Sixing as the new commander of the imperial guard, which was an important responsibility, and Lin Ji was powerless to shirk it. Of course, there is also a little bit of him, even if he leaves Zhao Fu, he will definitely be able to break through the arrogance of the world.
However, in any case, even if he has now become the president of the Imperial Guard, which has reached 200,000 people after the expansion, Lin Ji cannot show this proud achievement in front of Zhao Fu.
It's just because Zhao Fu is the general that Lin Haoyan picked up back then, and his Lin Ji's power comes from Lin Sixing.
Lin Sixing's killing of his brother and seizing the throne is not a secret to these people, but because of such a relationship, Lin Ji didn't even dare to raise his head in front of Zhao Fu - he always had a sense of guilt that he helped Lin Sixing kill Lin Haoyan.
In fact, this is also the case, theoretically that time when the night wolf army led Lin Hanyu to go out on a mission, then he should also take on the task of Lin Hanyu not being there to defend Lin Haoyan, which is his dereliction of duty.
"Needless to say, there are so many and there are not." Zhao Fu and Lin Ji have been together for a long time in the northwest, and they have killed countless enemies together, how can Zhao Fu not see Lin Ji's appearance, he knows that once Lin Ji shows this expression, he probably feels that he has made something wrong again, and wants to explain the punishment.
Zhao Fu stopped Lin Ji's tirade that he wanted to come out, but directly filled Lin Ji's wine glass, and he drank it all first.
"Boss......" Lin Ji still showed that pitiful look.
"Drink, I don't blame you." Zhao Fu glared at Lin Ji and expressed his dissatisfaction with his disobedience.
Lin Ji hurriedly drank the wine in the cup in the same way as Zhao Fu, and then continued to look pitiful, "Boss......"
"Alright, it's not your fault." Zhao Fu looked at it with a headache.
"But if it weren't for me......" Lin Ji continued to grab.
"It's not your fault at all, you don't want to take all the problems on yourself like this anymore." Zhao Fu remembered that in the past, if Lin Ji's subordinates made any mistakes, he would be the first to come out and admit their mistakes, and then he would contract all the mistakes in a big way, which made Zhao Fu cry and laugh every time.
But it is precisely in this way that the army of the Iron Arm Army has such a strong cohesion, and the Iron Arm Army can exert such a powerful combat power today, which is inseparable from Lin Hanyu's careful teaching, and second, it is inseparable from the team spirit that Lin Ji has laid for the army.
"But ......," Lin Ji said stubbornly.
"Even if it's Lin Sixing, it's Lin Sixing, or are you really his dogleg now, so protector?" Zhao Fu became inexplicably angry as he spoke, and he began to mock.
"......" After Lin Ji heard this, he was silent, and indeed according to Zhao Fu's statement, it was not unreasonable.
"Drinking, drinking, I just said it seriously, don't care." Zhao Fu hurriedly said.
"Boss, Lin Ji is indeed at fault...... And what you say is not unreasonable. At this time, Lin Ji did not drink the wine with Zhao Fu, but slowly stood up, and then he knelt in front of Zhao Fu.
"Lin Ji's failure to protect the first emperor when Boss Han Yu left, is already a big crime! Later, he turned his back on the Lord and sought glory and turned to His Majesty (Lin Sixing), which is also an unforgivable sin! But Lin Ji is indeed doing things for His Majesty now, but His Majesty is not thin on Lin Ji, Lin Ji must take on the responsibility of being a courtier and sharing worries for His Majesty! Lin Ji finally mustered up the courage to say these words.
"Hey, you're just too upright." After Zhao Fu listened, he knew what Lin Ji's mind was, as he said, Lin Ji was too inflexible, saying that one is one, and two is two. It's really a model of a standard soldier, but I just don't know if this kind of character has made him, or is it a personality bomb that will count down to zero at any time and destroy him?
"But Lin Ji is also a soldier brought out by the boss, Lin Ji will never forget how many hidden arrows the boss blocked for Lin Ji in the northwest, Lin Ji's life was given by the boss, Lin Ji will not forget his roots...... If the boss doesn't want Lin Ji to do things in the hands of His Majesty, Lin Ji is willing to cut himself in front of the boss! Lin Ji took a deep breath and said the last half of the sentence.
Not only Zhao Fu, but also the soldiers of the Iron Arm Army who were sitting there were stunned, they didn't expect Lin Ji to make such a decision in the end.
"Lin Ji, don't want to do something sorry for the boss!" With that, Lin Ji pulled out the long knife that Zhao Fu had given him.
"Lin Ji has no regrets for making such a decision." Lin Ji put the long knife on his neck.
As soon as Lin Ji's words fell, a strong wind blew, and his knife did not cut into his neck as he wished, but was picked up by Zhao Fu and almost smashed into Long Shouyi, who was hiding aside.
"Are you stupid?" Zhao Fu scolded with some annoyance: "When did I say that I blamed you?" ”
"I didn't blame you when I was in the Northwest, you learned to get worse? And threaten me with your own life? Zhao Fu kicked Lin Ji and kicked the kneeling Lin Ji to the ground.
