Chapter 395: Thousands of years, unify the Xiao family!
The cliff is low and the water is rapid, the river is endless, Hu Bugui led tens of thousands of horses to search for several hours, except for a few strands of cloth hanging on the trees, there is nothing.
Lin Wanrong was relieved, it was a good thing that she didn't find Sister Fairy, with Ning Yuxi's ability, she wouldn't die so easily, maybe one day she would suddenly jump out in front of me and scare me.
Men and horses were sent to carefully remove the gunpowder from the cave, and it took half a day to clean it up. Looking at the mountains of gunpowder, Hu Bugui was in a cold sweat, if it weren't for General Lin's heroic courage to break through the enemy today, I am afraid that these tens of thousands of brothers would not know how they died.
Xu Zhiqing was originally very angry at Lin San's unauthorized departure, but when she saw the gunpowder box like a hill in front of her, her heart trembled, and she never taught him a lesson anymore.
As soon as the last obstacle was gone, there was a road leading directly to the capital in front of the Pingchuan River, and tens of thousands of troops rushed day and night, and it took more than two days to rush to Gyeonggi, which was within the seven-day deadline set by the emperor, which can be described as a divine speed.
Xu Wei got the news, and waited outside the city early, and saw the army coming from afar, a white-robed young general wearing silver armor and a golden helmet, riding on a sweaty and bloody horse, was looking around lazily, very majestic.
"Brother Lin, Brother Linβ" Xu Wei was overjoyed, urging the carriage to hurry over, and shouted from afar.
"How dare you bother Mr. Xu to greet him personally? The little brother is ashamed. Lord Lin clenched his fists on the horse, his face full of solemnity.
Miss Xu put down the curtain of the car and snorted to Luo Ning beside her: "Ning'er, your father-in-law should go into the theater to act, he didn't know how happy he was along the way, and when his father personally went out of the city to greet him, he made it again." pretended to be serious, but it was a good play. β
Miss Luo grinned: "It's not that my sister doesn't know what my eldest brother is, he was born like this, if one day he really becomes solemn, I'm afraid you will have to complain again." β
Miss Xu stared at Luo Ning for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Ning'er, the way you speak now, is it really carved out of the same mold as your family Lin San, is it really the red who is close to Zhu and the black who is close to ink?" β
"Is there one?" Luo Ning unconsciously touched her pink face. He lifted the curtain again and looked out, and said shyly: "'The husband sings and the wife follows', this should be the way it should be." Sister, I see that you know your eldest brother very well, and even I can't match you? β
"Really?" Through the car window, seeing Lin San and Xu Wei talking happily, Xu Zhiqing's cheeks were slightly hot, and she waved her hand in distraction: "Don't mention that obscene billet to me, I see him upset." β
"Do little brothers and old decay still want to be so polite?" Xu Wei stroked his beard and smiled: "You are now my hero of Dahua, don't say that you are old, even if you are welcomed by hundreds of civil and military officials, it should be." β
Kissing and touching other people's daughters, although they are all misunderstandings, but it is not good to say, Lord Lin has a guilty conscience, laughed dryly, and said with a modest face: "Lord Xu has won the award, the younger brother is only a shallow learner, and there are still many places to learn from you, I hope you will give you more advice in the future." β
The sun is coming out in the west? How did this kid change his personality and become so humble? Xu Wei looked at him puzzled. I saw Lord Lin smiling all over his face, his expression was very weird, but he couldn't see any clues. Weird!
Xu Wei snorted, turned his head over, looked at dozens of heavily guarded silver cars, and then saw the brand-new fire paint seal on the silver box, Lao Huai was excited, walked a few steps quickly to the front of the car, stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the cold silver box, and muttered to himself: "Found it, finally found it, God bless Dahua, God bless me Dahua!" Brother Lin, you tell me the process of finding silver. β
Storytelling is Lord Lin's specialty, and it is a miracle created by him himself. At that moment, the two of them went to Shandong overnight to look for clues, judge the location of the silver, set up nets to catch fish, and the experience of the wooden boat raising the silver was told in detail. He relies on a mouth to eat, he knows the way of boasting, how to calculate the best strategy, how to hold the pearl of wisdom, how to resist public opinion, borrow a net to catch fish, how to drain sand from a wooden boat, the boat is silver, for a time the foam flies, the sky and the earth change color, even he thinks that Lin Sanzhen is a rare genius in the sky and the first in the world.
Xu Wei listened with relish, sometimes questioned, sometimes emotional, after listening to him, he let out a long breath and said: "This search for silver, the capital has been spread, but it is all hearsay and word of mouth, today through the little brother, only to know that it is more thrilling than the legend, wonderful, it seems that the old man has missed a good show!" Brother Lin, do you know, now it is rumored in the capital that you are the real number one talent in the world. β
Damn, isn't this provoking a conflict between me and Lao Xu? Who doesn't know that he is the best in the world. Lord Lin shook his head solemnly: "Who is chewing the root of the tongue here!" Lord Xu, you can't believe these words. The younger brother is young and shallow, where can he compare to your old man and youth, elegant and elegant, assisting the king, and admired by the world. Little brother, I can be ranked second in the world at best. β
Xu Wei laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Lin, don't be too modest, what you do, the people will see it." On the day when Princess Nishang chose a son-in-law, you fought against the Turks, and won a big victory, which was already unexpected; On the martial arts field, it is even more extraordinary to fight more with less and defeat the strong with the weak. This time I went to Shandong, and I made a miracle like the Fish Leaping Dragon Gate, which can be called a genius in the world. Not only that, but your stories in Jinling have also spread in the capital, and the most popular joke in the restaurant teahouse is 'Third Brother Lin fights the king of the couplet, and the pretty family Ding bravely wins the beauty', which is the story of you and Miss Luo. There are many people who specialize in writing and framing your couplets, and they are sold on banners, and the price is not low. Even your newly renovated mansion, even though you haven't moved in yet, there are many people waiting day and night to ask you for Mobao! β
"No!!" Lord Lin was shocked when he heard this, looking for me to ask for Mobao? Playing with a brush, Lao Tzu can't even get a "chicken pecking rice map". But if someone is willing to pay for the money, why not if I learn his brush for a few years?
"Brother Xu, this is all the love of the old folks, it can't be true." When Lao Xu said this, it was really itchy in his heart, and Lord Lin smiled and said: "You also know that my little brother and I have always lived in a simple place, forbearance and low-key, indifferent to fame and fortune, and regarded money as dung, what kind of floating name is the first in the world and the second in the world, don't do it!" β
This kid's face has probably grown to **, otherwise how can he not take his face seriously. Xu Wei smiled loudly and nodded: "Understand, understand, everyone knows the little brother's high wind and bright festival." However, I Dahua has not seen such an outstanding talent as you for hundreds of years, and now there is a foreign invasion and internal disaster, it is the time of the national disaster, I Dahua needs a hero who stands up to the sky and the earth, and needs a benchmark figure admired by the whole people, so that my people of Dahua can support and love, take it as the goal, unite people's hearts, and go to the national disaster together. Looking at the world's well-educated people, Brother Lin, you are both civil and military, you have experienced magic, there are countless legends about you in the market, and you are from an ordinary person, and you have an unparalleled lofty status in the hearts of the people. Who else can play such an iconic heroic figure besides you? β
In this way, it really has to be me, Lord Lin smiled and said, "Brother Xu, someone taught you to say these words, right?" I also said, "Why did you go out of the city to greet you in person?" β
Xu Wei coughed a few times in embarrassment, and laughed: "This is also the heartfelt words of the old man, completely from the heart." Little brother, don't get me wrong. β
The god-making movement set off by the old man of the emperor was really magnificent, and he quietly forced me into the alley, leaving me with no way out. Lao Xu is such a smart person, he must have smelled something, so he will spare no effort to help the emperor speak.
"We'll talk about that later." Lord Lin laughed and said, "At the moment, it is most important to hand over this silver to the national treasury." Brother Lin came just in time, you are the head of the household, please count the 350,000 taels of silver, and I will pay the errand, and then I can go home and sleep with my wife. β
The household officials who came with Xu Wei had already led the soldiers to open the silver box and investigate one by one, and reported it to Xu Wei after the silver taels were completely counted. Xu Wei used the seal on the cashier's paperwork, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin is doing things, can you still worry about the old man?" Three hundred and fifty thousand taels and one cents is not much, not a little, it's all here. β
This old Xu is also a liar who doesn't blink, obviously the clerks counted the silver several times, and he only used the seal if it was accurate, but what he said seemed to trust me in every way, Lord Lin snorted in his heart.
Lao Xu glanced around, only to see Xu Zhiqing and Luo Ning jumping out of the car with their hands in their hands, and were walking here. He secretly grabbed Lin Wanrong and whispered, "Brother Lin, Zhi'er didn't cause you any trouble along the way, right?" β
Lord Lin smiled coquettishly, full of **: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, it's just that my hands are a little tired." β
Lord Lin's words are profound, Xu Weikong has a lot of knowledge, but he can't understand the meaning of his words, so he has to nod along with his meaning: "Yes, it's been a hard work on the way, little brother." Our Zhi'er is thin and simple-minded, and I don't feel at ease with others, for fear that she will be bullied. But for Brother Lin, the old decay is a hundred rest assured, with you to take care of it, Zhi'er can't go wrong! β
Lord Lin bared his teeth when he heard this, Xu Yatou's body was thin? You're embarrassed to say that, I don't know how many times I've been beaten by her along the way. But her mind is as simple as mine, really simple!
"Niece Luo Ning has seen Xu Shibo. This time, Shibo and Sister Zhiqing helped each other, and Ning Er was grateful for such great kindness. Luo Ning pulled Xu Zhiqing over and bowed to Xu Weishi.
Xu Wei hurriedly helped her up, and said with a smile: "These are all things that are within my responsibility, don't be polite to the virtuous niece, please get up quickly." β
Luo Ning smiled slightly, bowed respectfully, and stood beside the eldest brother. Xu Wei nodded to Xu Zhiqing: "Zhi'er, thanks to Brother Lin for taking care of you along the way, you should also thank him!" β
"No need, no need." Lord Lin modestly waved his hand again and again: "Miss Xu and I help each other, and we can't thank each other." β
Xu Zhiqing remembered that she had been bullied by him all the way, snorted and ignored him. Xu Wei said embarrassedly: "This, Zhi'er is still young, and the etiquette is not careful, Brother Lin forgive me." β
Still young? Lord Lin was stunned. Luo Ning sneered, Xu Shibo's face was not much thinner than that of his eldest brother.
Everyone greeted each other for a while, and everything that should be explained was explained clearly, Xu Wei boarded the carriage and was about to leave, when he suddenly turned his head again, glanced at Lin Wanrong, and said: "Little Brother Lin, there is one more thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" β
"What should not be said, what should Mr. Xu and I be polite about?" Lin Wanrong smiled generously.
Xu Wei nodded and sighed: "In less than half a month, Li Tai's army will set off." The old man hopes that the little brother will consider Li Tai's suggestion again, and don't be rash. At present, there is a lack of generals in the army, and a good man should fight on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, and the little brother is so capable, if he can't serve the country, it will be a big waste. I would like to say this, and I hope that the little brother will consider it solemnly. β
Xu Zhiqing, who had already entered the carriage, lifted the curtain and glanced at Lin San angrily. Hummed: "Daddy, he is selfish and short-sighted, and thinks about his good friends all day long, what is the use of you talking to him about this?" Let the other boys stain the battlefield with blood, and let him stay in his pink array. β
Hearing that Xu Shibo was going to let the eldest brother go to the battlefield to fight, Luo Ning grabbed the eldest brother's little hand and looked at him nervously.
It's the old thing again, I can't remember how many times this is the persuasion, Lin Wanrong herself is puzzled, I haven't practiced the military book and haven't learned the formation, why do Xu Wei, Li Tai and Xu Zhiqing, who is facing each other, value me so much? Just because I won the battle in Shandong? That's a bit too hasty.
Lin Wanrong clasped her fists and said with a smile: "Mr. Xie Xu is kind." It doesn't matter what kind of achievements you make, but it is the key to bring back those brothers who rushed to the battlefield alive and then alive. Honestly, all the way to Shandong. I've been thinking about it all the time. It's not that I don't dare to go, it's just that the responsibility is too great, and it's like a thousand pounds of heavy burden on my body, making it difficult for people to breathe. β
"Only those who have the ability can take responsibility! I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? Xu Zhiqing glanced at him, a soft color appeared on her face, and her voice was much softer.
"Exactly, exactly." Seeing that Brother Lin's attitude seemed to have loosened, Xu Wei suddenly became energetic and hurriedly persuaded him: "Only the sages have the courage to take responsibility." Brother Lin's ability to command the army, the old man has seen it with his own eyes, not to mention anything else, just the support and love of tens of thousands of soldiers for you, no one else can do it, not to mention that you are witty and flexible, full of wisdom, and the sergeants you command are strictly disciplined and strong, and they are well-known in the army. With these two points, you can fight with the Hu people. β
This old man is quite good at fooling, Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Miss Xie Xu's proverbs, Brother Xie Xu's encouragement, listening to your words, even I feel that I am a general." If I hadn't been distracted, I would have been moved by what you said. β
"Distracted?" Xu Wei heard a glimmer of hope and hurriedly said: "If there is anything difficult for Brother Lin, as long as the old man can help, he must be duty-bound." β
"Mr. Xu also knows about this." Lin Wanrong sighed, took Ning Er's little hand and smiled affectionately: "When I was in Jinling, I met a confidante named Xiao Qingxuan. Later, I separated from her for some reason, and agreed to meet at the Jade Buddha Temple in Beijing on the seventh day of July this year. β
It turned out that he went to the Jade Buddha Temple to find this Miss Xiao, how many confidantes does this guy have? Xu Zhiqing remembered the first time she saw Lin San when she was hiding from the rain in the Jade Buddha Temple, and sighed in her heart, looked at him, bowed her head and said nothing.
"To tell you the truth, the reason why I left Jinling and came to the capital was to fulfill the contract. Qingxuan's position in my heart is like Ning'er's status in my heart, and I can't leave any of them. β
Luo Ning bowed her head shyly when she heard this, Miss Xu shook her head again and again, Ning'er, this girl really became stupid after marrying her husband, and she couldn't even hear Lin San's deliberate flattery.
"The seventh day of the seventh month?" Xu Wei frowned: "Then there are still more than five months to go." Brother Lin, this Miss Xiao, don't you have any clues? If you have a clue and the old man is desperate, he will also help you find this young lady. β
"It can't be said that there are no clues." Lin Wanrong sighed with emotion: "Don't hide it from Mr. Xu, before leaving for Shandong, I happened to see Qingxuan's portrait in the palace. β
"In the palace?" Xu Wei was startled and glanced at Lin Wanrong: "I understand, Brother Lin has been around for a long time to ask me to ask the emperor about this young lady." It's just that there is a little bit of decay that I don't understand, with your current status in front of the emperor, why don't you speak in person? β
This old man is really shrewd, Lin Wanrong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "My brother Xu, if the emperor is willing to tell me, will I still trouble you?" The old man is hiding from me now, and I don't know what he's thinking. β
Since the emperor was unwilling to tell Lin San, there was naturally something unspeakable, Xu Wei thought about it for a long time, and Lin San cared so much about this Miss Xiao. Wouldn't it be wonderful to call Miss Xiao to open her mouth and let him lead the troops to kill the enemy? Miss Xiao should be better than Lin San.
Xu Wei's eyes lit up, as if he had found a bright avenue, and laughed a few times. The chest beat sounded: "Brother Lin, don't worry, the old man is fighting for his life, and he has to ask the emperor about the whereabouts of this Miss Xiao to help your husband and wife reunite." As we all know, I Xu Wei likes to be the old man the most. β
The latter sentence is directly filtered. Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Brother Xu is anxious for justice and righteousness, and the younger brother is grateful." That being the case, then I await your good news. β
After saying that, Xu Wei had a bottom in his heart, and urged the carriage to leave.
"Daddy, do you really want to find this Miss Xiao for Lin San?" Xu Zhiqing gritted her teeth and asked softly.
"That's nature. Lin San is affectionate and righteous, as long as I find this Miss Xiao and she speaks, this Lin San will obediently lead my troops to fight. Xu Wei stroked his beard and smiled, triumphantly.
Does he value love and righteousness? Phew! Miss Xu felt a wonderful sour feeling in her heart, and hurriedly turned her head away.
"Zhi'er," Xu Wei sighed softly, full of deep meaning: "Life is too short to grasp in time." Don't pretend to be confused and mistake yourself. β
"Daddy is the best at pretending to be confused!" Miss Xu's face turned red and whispered. Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Yes, yes, Daddy is the best at pretending to be confused, and Zhi'er is not confused!" β
With the help of the old man Xu Wei. Thinking about it, there will be eyebrows, and I handed over the letter of the soldier talisman. Lying on the carriage back, Lord Lin stretched out comfortably, hugged Luo Ning's thin waist and rubbed it gently, and his big hand gradually reached into her chest.
"Big brother!" Ning Er's little face blushed, snuggled into his arms, and said softly: "Where are we resting tonight?" β
Lord Lin was also stunned, this question is good, Luo Ning and Qiaoqiao are both in the capital, if they continue to live in the Xiao family, although I don't mind, but these two girls are afraid that they are not used to it, Luo Ning is such a hot person is probably embarrassed to play, it is too hindering Lao Tzu's great cause of three splits. But if she moves into a new house, what will the eldest lady do, and what will she think in her heart? Theoretically speaking, I am still a member of the Xiao family, will I be fired directly by the eldest lady?
He thought about it, and there was no good way for a while, and he secretly regretted it in his heart, if he had turned the Xiao family into a harem earlier, Miss Ning'er would have stewed everything in one pot, and all the troubles would have been solved.
"Big brother, what are you thinking?" Ning'er's soft voice sounded in his ears.
"For thousands of years, unify the Xiao family." A few words popped out between Lord Lin's teeth.
Luo Ning snorted and chuckled, punched him in the chest in annoyance, and said sourly: "The Xiao family's orphan daughter and widow are chosen by thousands of choices, but they have summoned such a bad person as you, and the souls of Xiao Da and Xiao Er have been hooked, so the Xiao family does not need to be unified, it is also yours." β
"Really?" Lin Wanrong grinned and said: "It turns out that Ning'er is so finely calculated, I really don't see that you still have some potential as a little housekeeper!" β
Luo Ning wrinkled her nose and snorted, "That's nature." It's not easy for the eldest brother to make money, Ning'er can spend it and save it. Big brother, in the future, Ning'er will use the money you earn to do good deeds, and you will advertise by the way, and you will not be delayed. β
When the relationship is close, it's just different. Lord Lin was sighing, but he heard Luo Cainu lying in his ear, and said softly: "Big brother, don't we have a big mansion in the capital?" I heard Xu Shibo say that everything is finished, and we will live there tonight-"
"This-" Lord Lin was hesitating, and Luo Cai's small mouth blew on his ears, her eyes flashed with wild flames, and the fiery flush on her face seemed to be dripping: "--And Qiaoqiao, just the three of us!" Ah, big brother, what are you going to do with me?! β
