Chapter Ninety-Six: Honors 8

Lin Xiu was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "County Lord, the last general has always been like this, but the last general was a bachelor of the country, and he had never been in war, let alone in charge of the army, so he was a little Confucian..."

"Good is good, you don't have to say so much, from the heart, the county lord is very optimistic about you, and then you have to win all the way and come out on top, when the time comes, the county lord will definitely hold a banquet for you in the largest restaurant in the capital!"

When the words fell, Nangong Yan took a step forward, no more than an inch away from Lin Xiu, so close, Lin Xiu's nose moved slightly, and she directly smelled the faint fragrance of Nangong Yan's body.

"This is what I asked for in Guanyin Nunnery, it has both the Bodhisattva's enlightenment and the blessing of the lord of this county, and it will definitely bless you with a smooth road and invincible!"

"This..."

Lin Xiu looked at Nangong Yan's pure beauty Lingmu, and he was anxious, and his voice was slightly interrupted, but because of the difference between men and women, and the difference in status, he didn't dare to raise his hand to touch it or refute it. However, judging from Nangong Yan's demeanor, this noble county lord no longer cares about the cumbersome rules of the world.

In the natural knotting of the red rope at the fingertips, Nangong Yan's skillful breath burst out, although since she was a child, except for her brother and father, she has never been close to outsiders and men, but in the hazy feelings in her heart, her feelings have long been integrated into her soul, so that she poured her heart from the heart, and even in a trance, she has seen Lin Xiu and her previous life - love is as good as the mandarin duck water, although the meaning is like a phoenix gold.

It's just that this scene of deep affection and righteousness happened to be seen by Qin Yuzhi, who entered the courtyard, Qin Yuzhi stopped far away, and immediately laughed loudly: "Lord Qing'an, the third battle array drill is the duel between your brother Nangong Bao and Lin Zhongyi, you are here to help and encourage, if your brother knows, what should he think?" ”

"Brother Yu Zhi, why are you here?" Nangong Yan looked back in shock, and suddenly became anxious, and her indifferent and fair face also flushed.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Xiu hurriedly retreated, getting rid of Nangong Yan's emotional coercion, and just when he was about to reach out and take off the jade pendant, Qin Yuzhi had already approached to stop him: "Brother Zhongyi, this jade pendant is the county lord's affection, if you take it off like this, it will hurt the county lord's tender heart, besides, Nangong Bao is a tiger of the gate, an absolute rival, if you don't have some blessings, if you want to win, it's difficult, so you take it!" ”

"Brother Qin, I..."

Lin Xiu wanted to speak, but was stopped by Qin Yuzhi waving his hand, and finally he said to Nangong Yan: "Your father knows that you are coming, so he will follow us to watch the drill on Wanggongtai, so as not to have another incident!" ”

Hearing this, Nangong Yan smiled, and got rid of a well-behaved girl, and then she stretched out her arms and clenched her fists at Lin Xiu, making a gesture of encouragement, Lin Xiu smiled stiffly, and the two left in a hurry.

At this point, Lin Xiu's restless heart in his chest was calmed down, but looking at the high-quality jade pendant on his chest, Lin Xiu became more and more disturbed, and he shook his mind in an instant, and Chen Shuling's virtuous and beautiful appearance appeared in front of him.

"General, general, it's already two drums, we have to get out quickly, otherwise we will miss the rules!" Seeing that the event was about to start, Liu Pan hurriedly came over to remind Lin Xiu to come back to his senses.

Looking at Lin Xiu's uncertain appearance, Liu Pan laughed in a low voice: "General, you are really powerful, not only is the talent of the military array admirable, but even the ability to love women is extraordinary!" ”

Because Liu Pan didn't know that Lin Xiu's feelings had roots, this sycophant slapped on the horse's leg, which caused Lin Xiu to immediately look back and look angrily: "If you dare to talk nonsense, go back to the camp and serve with a cane!" After the words fell, Lin Xiu put on armor and a knife and walked out.

'Knock knock... Knock knock...'

On the high pillars around the martial arts arena, the huge dragon drums resounded non-stop, and when the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and Qianniuwei entered the battle, a new gambling boom set off again.

"Xiao Huangting, come here, come here!"

In the high call of the courtiers and nobles, the eunuchs of the Little Yellow Court who were in charge of gambling and betting took small steps and ran to the masters of various voices.

"My lord, what do you command?"

"Regarding the gambling ratio of the Xiaoqi Battalion and Qianniuwei, what is it now? Talk to the officer! ”

Hearing this, the eunuch of the little yellow court smiled: "My lord, how do you let the little slave answer what you said, this palace guard Qianniu Wei is the elite of the palace gate, and the Xiao cavalry battalion is the banner of the Xiaowu Emperor, this time the fine to the fine, the fierce to the fierce, the little slave really doesn't know how to answer?" ”

Seeing that the eunuch of the Little Yellow Court was reluctant to say more, the court official glanced left and right to make sure that there was no one, and stuffed a silver ingot of fifty taels into the belt of the eunuch of the Little Yellow Court: "Give this official a few words!" ”

Looking at the face of the silver ingot, the eunuch of the little yellow court smiled: "My lord, what are you doing... But the little slave really has some news..."

The eunuch of Xiao Huangting took a breath and said in a low voice: "There is no war now, in view of the results of the first two battles, the ratio of Xiaoqi and Qianniuwei is now two to three, of which the fine bottom, the bet on General Nangong Bao of Qianniuwei is sixty percent, and the bet on General Lin Zhongyi is forty percent, of course, this is only one-third of the bet statistics, as for the rest, the little slave does not know, and the result of winning or losing, it depends even more on the luck and eyesight of the adult!" ”

Hearing this, the courtier gritted his teeth and said loudly: "This official has fought hard, the son of the handsome prince, and the patrol guard in an instant, it is by no means comparable to Xiaocai, so ten thousand taels, General Nangong!" The eunuch of the little yellow court immediately took out the record, recorded the courtier's gamble, and let the queen leave in a hurry.

On the imperial rank of the Eastern Emperor, Emperor Xia An would earn 300,000 taels of gambling profits, and this result made him laugh happily.

"Tianwei Festival, it's really interesting, I really should hold it a few more times, and it is estimated that even the military expenditure will be there!"

Huang An echoed with laughter: "This is all Your Majesty's favor!" ”

"You sycophant!" Emperor Xia An scolded with a smile, looked at the two sides of the third combination on the martial arts field, and said: "Huang An, tell me, how should I bet on this combination?" ”

"This..."Huang An didn't understand the strategy of the military formation, so he smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe, the old slave is stupid, and he can't see who is more powerful, General Nangong or General Lin Xiao... So..."

"Father, the son thinks that he should take the cavalry camp!"

Coldly, Yan Wang Jing Yuke stepped forward, so that Jing Yutian and Jing Yuyin on the side swept their eyes, and the disgust in them was fully revealed.

"Oh? How can the emperor be so sure? ”

Emperor Xia An beckoned and asked, Jing Yuke moved two steps, Huang An signaled, his own little eunuch took the pad, Jing Yuke knelt in front of Emperor Xia An, bowed and said with a smile: "Father, that Nangong Bao is the son of Prince Qing, the son of the handsome family, the ancient saying is good, the door is out of the tiger, Nangong Bao also proved with strength, less than thirty years of official Zuo Qianniu Wei command, his ability can be seen, but Lin Zhongyi is a young general who fights on the battlefield, compared to Nangong Bao, may be slightly inferior in military conduct, but the grasp between victory and defeat must be three points stronger than Nangong Bao!"
