The defeat was like a mountain. Seeing that King Cheng was fowled, the 2,000 men and horses who were stubbornly resisting on the periphery were suddenly disheartened and turned around and retreated. As soon as the Shenji battalion fired a volley of artillery, their formation was shattered, and the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly increased, and they chased after them for ten miles in one go, and the more than 2,000 people were scattered to the ground, and most of them were annihilated.

"General, King Cheng has been escorted to the palace." Lin Wanrong sat in a wheelchair, stood up on a high post, and looked at the smoke in the distance in a daze. Xu Zhen saw that he was in a bad mood, and his voice suddenly lowered a lot.

Escorted to the palace, there will be another verbal argument there Lin Wanrong hummed, looking tired, and even Xu Zhen was shocked.

"Have the remnants been annihilated?

Xu Zhen said cautiously: "Sixty percent were annihilated, and another forty percent were captured alive. Among the sixty percent of the annihilation land, there were 200 Japanese people, and the army encountered the most stubborn resistance in the land, and it was these Japanese people who did it."

With the participation of the Japanese people, it was not as expected by Lin Wanrong, King Cheng trained the dead soldiers, and he saw some shadows of the Japanese people, and he was not surprised, only nodded lightly.

The war was over, and there was nothing important in the south of the city, so he instructed Xu Zhen to clean up the battlefield carefully, and Lin Wanrong took a sedan chair back to the city.

"Xianggong, what's wrong with you Rong didn't speak all the way, his palms were a little cold, Qin Xian'er intuitively felt that something was wrong with him. I took the king of Cheng. Xianggongdi's face is not good-looking, and his words are much less. This is not his cheerful style on weekdays.

Lin Wanrong sighed leisurely, and her expression was extremely solemn: "Xian'er. If one day. Between me and your father. You can only choose one, who will you choose? ”

How did he ask such a thing, Qin Xian'er was shocked, and tears fell: "Xianggong, how can you ask such a thing, my mind. Don't you know? Did your father do something sorry for you? I'm going to find him—"

She was in a hurry, and she was about to rush out of the sedan chair when she got up, Lin Wanrong was moved, and hurriedly grabbed her, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, you are good to me, I naturally know!" It's just that things in this world are too complicated, and many times, they can't be simply measured by right and wrong."

He smiled and spoke, but the tiredness and depression in the corners of his eyes were clearly visible. Compared to the last time I was injured on Weishan Lake, it was even worse.

"Xianggong." Qin Xian'er muttered tears and said, "What are you talking about, I don't understand. But Xian'er likes to hear you."

"That's right." Lin Wanrong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and suddenly smiled heartily: "Do you remember when we were in Hangzhou?" You took me to your mother's house, I promised you. Later, we built a big mansion by the West Lake. Let you listen to wind chimes every day, do you remember?! ”

Qin Xian'er nodded happily: "Xianggong. Do you remember these? ”

"Of course, that's my dream." Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled: "When I come back from the north, I will take you back to Weishan Lake and Jinling, build a house by the West Lake, let's row boats and swim, sing and dance, be a happy fairy, let this conspiracy, killing and felling see the hell!" ”

Qin Xian'er hummed in surprise. Tears fell down his cheeks: "Xianggong, I know. You want to leave the capital. You're tired, isn't the world with you?"

Lin Wanrong laughed. Miss Qin held his hand tightly. Gentleness into his arms.

When the sedan chair arrived at King Cheng's mansion, Chief Gao was already waiting there happily, standing next to him. There is also a pale face Chen Yushi.

"Congratulations to Lord Lin. Lord He Xilin, I heard that the thief has been caught, and the remnants of the party have been completely eliminated, but my lord has done a miracle for my Dahua." Chief Gao frowned and smiled.

Chief Gao is a rough person, simple-minded, and only thinks about meritorious awards, how can he understand Lord Lin's state of mind at this time. But simplicity is not necessarily a blessing, Lin Wanrong is a little envious of the rough lines of the old highland. He smiled and glanced at Chen Biqing: "Lord Chen, what's wrong with you!" ”

"Lord Lin-" Chen Biqing bowed deeply. His lips twitched a few times, and he couldn't say anything.

Lin Wanrong looked at Chief Gao, and Lao Gao smiled proudly: "Brother, you have made a great contribution today. I have been blessed by you, and I have done some small things. You come with me, I'll take you to see it! ”

Seeing the appearance of Gao Chief's eyebrows fluttering, Lin Wanrong couldn't bear to spoil his interest, and followed him through the front yard to the backyard of the palace. The situation before them was astonishing, the edge of the lake had already collapsed, revealing a dark hole, five or six feet above the ground, and countless soldiers were digging for dirt with pickaxes and shovels in their hands.

Carefully moving Lin Wanrong to the pit, Chief Gao stood in front of him with a torch, and raised his hand excitedly: "Brother, look-"

In front of me is a piece of collapsed earthwork, after the soil is dug up, you can see a gold brick paved in the ground passage, shining golden in the ***. Lin Wanrong sighed: "It turns out that it is really an underground dragon palace!" ”

"Brother Lin, you really have no last resort." The high chief gave a thumbs up in admiration. Push him and go down the brick road. The more you go forward, the more frightened, this underground labyrinth is criss-crossed, unfathomable, gold bricks paved the ground, jasper as a wall, every three steps will be placed a jade glazed cup, five steps will be put a bright east pearl, its luxury is jaw-dropping.

"This is the Qianqing Palace, this is the Wenshu Pavilion, this is the Yi Nian Palace, this is the Imperial Study, oh, and the Cining Palace-" Chief Gao followed the direction and came for him one by one, this underground castle is a shrunken imperial palace.

"This is the Golden Temple, you see—" Chief Gao stopped. Said softly.

A dragon chair with a width of about a foot is placed in the middle, made of pure gold, and it is full of light. The chair is carved with countless golden dragons with different expressions and vivid appearances, swallowing clouds and spitting fog. Handsome physique. Behind the dragon chair is a finely carved jade screen. There are countless gold beads inlaid in the middle, graceful and luxurious. Under the dragon chair, there is a three-step golden ladder, and on both sides is the kowtow place of the ministers. The hall ** places eighteen egg-sized night pearls, which are full of brilliance, reflecting the delicate cheeks of the fairy.

It seems that my method of planting false accusations really did not wronged King Cheng. Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly, the splendid underground palace in front of him, I don't know how much silver it cost, Dahua and the Hu people have been fighting for ten years, and the military expenditure is so much.

What's the trouble! Can you sleep in this golden temple every day?

Although Chief Gao has been in a few times, looking at the situation in front of him, he still can't help but sigh: "Brother, I have lived a lifetime. Today I finally opened my eyes." He glared at him, and said to Chen Biqing, who was following him: "Chen Yushi, Lord Chen, you have also seen this scene, have we Lord Lin wronged King Cheng?" ”

Chen Biqing's face was pale, he had long since lost the shelf of the imperial history, he secretly glanced at Lin San, bowed his head and didn't dare to speak.

Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh: "Romance through the ages, always blown away by the rain and wind!" People are compared to history. It is like a grain of dust and sand in a long river, which will eventually be swallowed up by the waves. The prince still can't see it! ”

Although Chief Gao is a rough person, he can somewhat understand the meaning of Brother Lin's words, and nodded hurriedly, expressing his deep approval.

Although this underground labyrinth is big, Lin Wanrong doesn't want to look at it anymore, a few people retreated, and someone from the other side came over with a lantern.

"Lord Lin," Gao Ping was dressed in red, his face was solemn: "Your Majesty, please enter the palace."

Wherever I go, the emperor can find it so quickly. Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and was speechless. Qin Xian'er hurriedly stopped in front of Xianggong, and snorted: "That person has also been caught, can't my father let Xianggong rest?" It's so late, Gonggong Gao, you go back to your father, just say that Xianggong is resting, and I'll see him tomorrow! ”

Dare to talk to the emperor like this. It's just you, Princess Nishang, Gao Ping smiled bitterly: "Princess, don't you want the life of an old slave?" How can I bear this great sin of deceitful land! There was such a big thing happening in the DPRK. The princes and ministers entered the palace overnight, and now they are all waiting in the Wenhua Hall to discuss the matter! The emperor specially ordered the old slave to invite Lord Lin! ”

Lin Wanrong nodded: "Has the emperor seen King Cheng?" ”

"Not yet." Chief Gao lowered his voice: "The news is spreading fast. Only then was he put into the prison, and then he pleaded guilty and pleaded for mercy, and even Mr. Gu came in person."

King Cheng has long become a wasted person, and there is a fart to intercede at this time. Lin Wanrong sighed, once again impressed by the old emperor's thoughts and methods.

"Xian'er," Lin Wanrong shook his wife's hand: "It's okay to have Big Brother Gao accompany me into the palace. You go back and tell you that you're safe. Tell Qingxuan that they are all relieved, and I will come back when the discussion is over. Let Qiaoqiao prepare some supper for me. I am hungry! ”

Qin Xian'er knew that he was comforting herself. He hummed softly, walked a few steps, suddenly turned his head and grabbed his hand tightly, and said with teary eyes: "Xianggong, you entered the palace, don't argue with your father. When you come back north, then all will be fine! ”

Husband and wife voiceover. No one could understand, Lin Wanrong pinched her soft twing. Smile happily.

The night in Beijing is as calm as ever, the streets are lit with sparks, and a few dogs bark occasionally from the depths of the alleys. Make the night more peaceful. Ordinary people have fallen asleep, where would they have thought that it would be more than ten miles away from them. How much has it changed?

Lin Wanrong was injured, and she worked hard for two days in a row, from psychology to physiology, she was already very tired, but at this time. But he could not fall; Rest tomorrow day, the army is about to set off, the border pass beacon fire, plug the camel bell, the horse and the horse, blood and fire are compatible. Where else to find such a peaceful night?

He lowered the curtain of the sedan car and just took a nap. I heard Chief Gao whispering outside, "Brother Lin, it's here."

I don't know how many times I've been here, but every time I come, I don't seem to have done anything good. Chief Gao pushed him off the wheelchair and looked at the three big words in gold, Lin Wanrong shook his head, feeling very funny.

"Your Majesty, Lord Lin Sanlin, the deputy chamberlain of the Ministry of Officials and the commander of the Dahua Loyal and Brave Army, is waiting for the order outside the palace." Chief Gao roared, and immediately suppressed the noise of Chaozhong.

"Let him in." The emperor coughed a few times, and his voice was faint.

Chief Gao pushed him into the golden hall in a wheelchair, and the ministers, who were still talking to each other, glanced at him with their eyes. This time, it was very different from the previous times when he was impeached, and everyone in the palace looked at this fake cripple in a wheelchair, and no one dared to despise it, and their eyes were mostly admiration, admiration, and even some fear. Even if he, Lin San, is a black household with an unclear identity and unclear origin, who can bring down the famous King Cheng and even capture the local people alive? His reputation is genuine.

"I've seen the emperor!" Lin Wanrong clenched her fists and glanced at the emperor. The old emperor sat in the middle of the dragon chair, his face was worried, his expression was solemn, and he didn't have a trace of a smile.

"Excuse me." The old man waved his hand, pointed downward, and said, "Lin San, come and see Mr. Gu."

Under the left head of the dragon chair, a carved chair was specially placed, and on the chair sat an old Confucian in his seventies, with a white beard and hair, dressed in a gray robe with white hair, and his appearance was very simple.

This is the emperor's teacher Gu Shunzhang? Lin Wanrong glanced at it secretly, this old man had a long beard and thin eyebrows, his expression was soft, his eyes were narrowed in the folds, he didn't say a word, he didn't smile, but he had an indifferent and elegant feeling, thousands of times stronger than his son Gu Bingyan. The Emperor's Division. It's extraordinary.

Lin Wanrong hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Boy Lin San, I've seen Mr. Gu."

"You're Lin San?!" Gu Shunzhang looked him up and down carefully, and the light in his eyes was bright and dark, making people confused.

Why does this old man look like a son-in-law? Being stared at by Mr. Gu, Lin Wanrong was uncomfortable, could it be that you want to avenge your son?

"Lin San, have you been to Goryeo?!" Gu Shunzhang spoke, but the issue of land was discussed with the court. Completely unattached.

"Go—ah, no, haven't been." Lin Wanrong also wondered, what is this old man going to do?

Gu Shunzhang smiled and said leisurely: "Lin San, do you know where I came from this time?" ”

"I've heard that Mr. Gu came back from Shandong." Lin Wanrong lowered her voice, cautiously tentative, but she sighed in her heart, the emperor's ground is really big, and he asked some irrelevant things in the court seriously, and even the emperor didn't dare to intervene casually.

Gu Shunzhang smiled and nodded: "It's true that I rushed back from Shandong, but before that. I'm traveling in Goryeo."

"Traveling to Goryeo?" Lin Wanrong was stunned, what did this old man say for no reason.

"Yes, traveling to Goryeo," Gu Shunzhang smiled: "There, the old man met a young lady, and she asked me to bring a letter to Lord Dahua Chao Dilin."
