On the Qinhuai River, the talented people who participated in the poetry competition were fighting poems, without the fetters of fame and profit, they looked extraordinarily chic, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Luo Min smiled and said to Cheng De and Zhao Kangning: "Lord Gang, Master Cheng, this poetry competition has been held for several sessions, and this year is the most lively. Not only has it attracted so many talents, but even the little prince has also come, which is really my luck in Jinling. ”

Zhao Kangning snorted and said, "I think the most lively thing is that you have recruited a virtuous son-in-law, Lord Luo!" ”

"Really?" Luo Min laughed: "This matter is still inconclusive, and the old man can't pack a ticket." Let them make trouble of their young people. ”

Cheng Dedao: "Xia Guan has been marching for many years, and he is not very good at this poetry, so today he is just here to cheer for the little prince and Lord Luo." ”

The senior head guarding outside the cabin nodded slightly at Luo Min, a bright color flashed in Luo Min's eyes, and he smiled at Cheng De: "Master Cheng, when it comes to marching, I remember it." Yesterday, news came from Beijing that Generalissimo Xu Wei led an army of 100,000 troops to personally conquer the White Lotus Sect, and the White Lotus bandits entrenched in the front line of Jining, Shandong Province had been completely wiped out. Years of bandits were wiped out overnight, which is really happy. I heard that the emperor was happy and sent this good news to the officials of all provinces for reference, and I estimated that the will to celebrate the great victory was about to reach Jiangsu——"

Cheng De and Zhao Kangning glanced at each other, and a trace of anger flashed in their eyes. Cheng De nodded and said, "Yes, this white lotus should have been eradicated for many years." It's a pity that Jiangsu and Shandong are close at hand, and this time they are attacking. It is a pity that my Jiangsu cavalry battalion has not made an inch. ”

Luo Min shook his head and smiled: "Master Cheng doesn't need to be modest. Everyone has a credit for this extermination of the White Lotus, if you hadn't sent someone to guard the border between Lusu and Suzhou, wouldn't the White Lotus have entered Jiangsu again? Speaking of which. Your credit for this is not small. ”

There are words in the words of the two, and no one else can understand them. Zhao Kangning, who was sitting in the middle, smiled and said: "The two adults don't need to be too humble, this is the result of the joint efforts of the provinces, and if you want to talk about the credit, the two adults are indispensable." Just wait for the emperor's will to come down, I think everyone will have a reward. ”

The three of them laughed together, and only each of them understood their own thoughts.

"Your Excellency, the emperor's good news of the victory of the White Lotus has arrived." A servant walked in and hurriedly reported to Luo Minyu.

"Oh. It's coming. Today's poetry competition is really a surprise! Luo Min was overjoyed and said to Cheng De: "Master Cheng, let's go together to welcome this good news." ”

Cheng De nodded slightly. The two of them walked out of the cabin together. Ning Xiaowang is not a person in Jiangsu officialdom, so he doesn't have to go to greet the good news. Looking at Luo Mindi's figure, a cold light flashed in Zhao Kangning's eyes.

Luo Min took Cheng De into a side room, only to see that the room was empty, where could I see the figure of the messenger who sent the good news? Cheng De was puzzled: "Lord Luo." Where is Chincha-sama? ”

"Honcha-sama? Oh, it's coming soon. Luo Min said with a smile, the murderous aura in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

Cheng De's sensitive intuition was wrong. He said loudly: "Lord Luo, where is Lord Qincha?" What do you want to bring your subordinates here? ”

"Cheng De, are you guilty?" A loud shout came, and a person walked out from behind the tent, with gray hair and majestic momentum, it was Xu Wei, the handsome man who suppressed bandits in Shandong.

"Lord Xu? You, how did you end up here? Cheng De was shocked. He took a few steps back, panicked, and touched the saber at his waist with one hand at the same time.

Behind him, the figures of Gao Chieftain and several guards with knives appeared at the same time, sandwiching Cheng De in the middle and unable to move.

Cheng De was frightened, pressed the saber in his hand, and said arrogantly: "Lord Xu, what are you going to do, what crime has the lower official committed?" ”

"You are corrupt and pervert the law, use troops without authorization, collude with Bai Lian, and intend to rebel, aren't these charges enough?" Xu Wei sneered.

"Nonsense. I have led troops for many years, and my loyalty to the court can be revealed, how can I rebel? Don't spew blood! Cheng De was bold and said: "You are a crime that you want to add, there is no excuse, I want to go to the military department, to the prince Cheng, and to sue you in front of the emperor." ”

"Hugh has to quibble." Xu Wei shouted: "The things you did, Lord Luo has already verified them clearly, and the evidence is ironclad, and now they are all in the hands of the old man." You colluded with the White Lotus bandits and sent your eldest son Cheng Ruinian to deliver a letter to Lu Kanli of the White Lotus Sect, and now he has fallen into my hands and found a letter with your autograph. Cheng Ruinian has confessed to the painting, and it was you who sent him to deliver a letter informing me of the date of the army's attack. Do you still dare not admit it? Not only that, half an hour ago, the old man personally led the sergeant to search your mansion, and you dared to hide the golden sword and jade seal in the back flower. Cheng De, are you going to rebel? ”

"Impossible—" Cheng De shouted, "This is you framing me." I didn't have any golden swords and jade seals in my possession, and I didn't write the letter, it was—" He paused, remembered something, and did not dare to continue.

"Who wrote it?" Xu Wei smiled coldly: "The evidence is ironclad, you still want to quibble." Come on, take Cheng Ruinian—"

The two soldiers pushed Cheng Ruinian out of the cabin, Cheng Gongzi was tied with his hands behind his back, bruised and swollen, his face was pale, he was obviously tortured, and his mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth.

"Cheng De, now that the human and material evidence is there, what else do you have to say?" Xu Wei said sharply, his expression was majestic, and he had an inviolable momentum.

Cheng De screamed: "Luo Min, you, you and Xu Wei colluded to murder me, I want to sue you in front of the emperor, I want to sue you." ”

Luo Min snorted: "Cheng De, you have been following your master to do evil for many years, and you know what you have done. Do you really think that no one can cure you? Neither can your master save thee today. ”

Xu Wei took out a secret from his sleeve and read: "Check the command of Jiangsu to make Cheng De corrupt and pervert the law and collude with rebellion. If you want to rebel, you will be executed immediately, and you will be executed! ”

"No, it can't be. You are pretentious, you are rebellious, I will sue you, Lord Cheng-" Cheng De roared like crazy, pulled out his saber suddenly, and kept waving it, his face was gloomy.

Xu Wei glanced at Chief Gao, who held a steel knife in his hand and slowly pressed forward.

Cheng De's face was full of fear, and he rushed forward with a bang. He was the commander of Jiangsu. is also born immediately, this knife has a bit of strength, but for the high chief. But it's too far off.

Chief Gao lightly stabbed him with a knife, and with a push, the steel knife was already on his neck, and he was about to finish him off easily, when he suddenly heard a shout from outside the cabin: "It's water." It's out of the water—"

Lin Wanrong stared blankly at the rocket in the air, whistling and shining. Burned out, fell, and there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in my heart.

Qin Xian'er saw that his expression was inappropriate, and hurriedly said, "Xianggong, what did you say?" What's hands-on? ”

An Biru glanced at him meaningfully and said: "Destroy my White Lotus, Xu Wei's next step is to rectify this Jiangsu officialdom, today, I'm afraid it will be Cheng De's sacrifice day." ”

Lin Wanrong was taken aback. This Sister An is really not simple, just by one sentence, you can guess that she is going to do something to Cheng De tonight, and she must not be underestimated. He couldn't help but take a closer look at An Biru. I had only seen Sister An's amorous side before, but I had never seen her analyze the situation so thoroughly, and then think about it when Jining City was broken that day, if it weren't for the White Lotus Holy King Lu Kanli who didn't listen to her advice, then how could Jining be easily breached? This Sister An, who looks coquettish, is actually a very wise person, and this opinion is enough to beat many men.

"See what I do? What kind of bad idea is being played again. An Biru smiled, touched the hair in her ear, and ten thousand styles loomed, she secretly leaned into his ear and whispered: "Little brother, do you want to hug me, then when Xian'er is not there, let you hug it." Giggles, what does a man's arms taste like, I want to know it! ”

This goblin is really well versed in the psychology of men, so that you can see and touch, hate it, but remember it. Lin Wanrong secretly gritted her teeth, as if she hadn't seen her, and sighed slightly: "Sister, I didn't find out until now that I was so lucky to take Jining so easily that day." If the White Lotus Army listens to you, this battle will be fought. ”

An Biru remembered the past and smiled bitterly: "What's the use of talking about this now." I spent 20 years doing one thing, and in the end, it was a failure. However, you are not bad, surround but do not fight, false and false, and when our army is unstable, you will turn fake into true, which is really cunning. Little villain, you've ruined my good deeds, I hate you to death, giggle-"

Lin Wanrong shuddered, didn't this fox spirit eldest lady speak and deliberately laugh at me?

Xian'er snuggled up to him and said, "Xianggong, you and the master don't know each other, and now the three of us are together like this, isn't it good?" My master and I will be taken care of by you for a lifetime. ”

Khan, this girl, Xian'er, didn't you deliberately tease me, don't you know that my master and I covet each other? If you're not careful, maybe there will be a super friendship story, and when the time comes, your husband will become a teacher, and you won't have time to cry.

"A tiger that naps is also a tiger. Little brother, seeing that you are full of confidence, needless to say, you will be foolproof in your actions this time. An Biru said with a smile.

Lin Wanrong remembered that Qiaoqiao and Luo Ning were still on the boat, her face changed, she stood up, and rushed straight under the boat.

"Xianggong, what are you doing?" Xian'er was startled and hurriedly shouted.

"I'll go to the Qintan River, Xian'er, you and your master sister are waiting for me on the boat." Lin Wanrong didn't look back and said hurriedly.

Fortunately, the fast horse was left behind by Hu Bugui and was still tethered on the shore, Lin Wanrong untied the reins of the horse, and just after riding on the horse, he felt a soft and delicate body gently float on the horse, hugging his waist tightly, and the plump crisp chest rubbed against his back for a while.

"Xianggong, the concubine will go with you, I will protect you." Qin Xian'er pressed her cheek against his broad back and said affectionately.

This girl, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but smile and touched her buttocks, he was anxious. and did not drive her down, but urged the horse to gallop away.

An Biru looked at the departing figure of the little couple, shook her head gently, and sighed slightly in her heart. His eyes fluttered on the water, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Rushed all the way to the Qintan River, which had already been blocked by Sergeant Xu Wei, and was only allowed to enter but not leave. These soldiers are all Xu Wei's elites who jumped out of Lin Wanrong's right army that day, most people know him, and when they saw Lin Wanrong, they immediately exclaimed: "General Lin, General Lin is back." ”

A young man from the camp ran over quickly, surprised, and said, "General Lin, General Lin, it turns out that you are really still alive-"

Lin Wanrong and Qin Xian'er dismounted. patted the young Qianhu on the shoulder and said, "Xu Zhen, you kid, I haven't seen you for a few days." It's all thousands of households, I see that you are the same as Brother Hu, and the closure of 10,000 households is just around the corner. ”

He was killed by Tong Cheng that day, and his subordinates planned to avenge him, but Hu Bugui sent Xu Zhen to sneak into Tong Cheng's escort. An arrow killed Tong Cheng's dog, and Lin Wanrong naturally wanted to thank him.

Xu Zhen said gratefully: "General Lin, it was you who appreciated me and promoted me that day. I, Xu Zhen, can have today, it all depends on your old man, as long as you give an order, I Xu Zhen is not afraid of losing his head. ”

In the past, when he was the overseer of Chuzhou, this Xu Zhen was still a little immature, but after ten days, and after the tempering of the war, this child has removed his childishness and grown into a real soldier.

Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Let's talk about these later." Xu Zhen. Send a few men to row a small boat and take me to the big boat in the middle of the river. ”

Xu Zhen hurriedly said: "General Lin, today Xu Dashuai has given an order, Xu is not allowed to enter or leave this river, I am afraid that something big will happen." The front is very dangerous, and you can't take it yourself. ”

"The more you kid live, the more you go back, you've fought so many battles, and you still say it's dangerous." Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Hurry up and prepare the boat, it's late, I'm worried about an accident." ”

Xu Zhen smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements, Qin Xian'er leaned close to him, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, these soldiers under your command are very loyal to you." ”

Lin Wanrong shook his head and sighed lightly, this is all a friendship made with his life, can he be disloyal?

Xu Zhen was responsible for blocking the water, and his clippers naturally had a lot of land, so he found a sturdy wooden boat for Lin Wanrong, and personally shook the pulp to send General Lin and his wife to the Luo Ninghua boat.

After walking a little more than half of the distance, Xu Zhen suddenly exclaimed: "General, look, it's out of the water-"

"What?" Lin Wanrong was shocked, and when she looked around, she saw that the Luo Ningdi Flower Boat and the two talented pleasure boats next to it were all emitting thick black smoke, and they were actually on fire at the same time. The three ships are on fire together, damn it, someone must have set it on purpose, and tonight is not destined to be peaceful.

Lin Wanrong yelled: "Let's go, let's go." ”

"Where did you go to the water?" Xu Wei commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, and when he heard that the water was gone, he was slightly shocked in his heart, but he did not panic, and shouted loudly outside.

"Tell the two lords that the two pleasure boats next to it and the wing on the top of this ship are on fire. At the moment, everyone is panicking, the situation is chaotic, and I ask the adults to decide. ”

Luo Min snorted: "Cheng De, it turns out that you have already made arrangements. ”

Cheng De laughed and said: "Lord Luo, I, Cheng someone, was born in the army, and I have always acted cautiously. You are so fanfare to recruit relatives for your daughter, although you love your daughter, but you can't help but make people suspicious. The lower official is guarding against one hand, and it should be. If I don't expect it, this fire is afraid that it started from Ling Yuan's boudoir. ”

Before Luo Min could speak, he heard a soft noise, the window was knocked open, and two vigorous black shadows broke through the window, the steel knife was shining, and they went to Luo Min and Xu Wei.

"Protect the two adults—" Chief Gao was the head of the palace guards, and he was not alarmed, pressed the steel knife on Cheng De's neck, and shouted loudly. The guards hurriedly guarded in front of the two adults, and the two assassins flicked a shot and attacked the high chief together, the goal was naturally to save Cheng De.

"Chopping Chengde—" Luo Min shouted.

"Kill Cheng De-" Chief Gao shouted, the steel knife slashed straight down, Cheng De's head and body were instantly separated, and the bright red blood in his neck burst out a few feet high.

The two assassins couldn't imagine that at such a dangerous moment, Luo Min didn't care about his own safety, overstepped his authority, and said to Cheng De that he would be killed. Seeing Cheng De's corpse divorced. The two assassins were slightly stunned. The high chief beheaded a person, the knife edge was stained with blood, and the murderous aura was soaring, and he flashed up. Slash one Assassin with a single sword, and a group of guards swarmed up, encircling the other.

"Quickly put out the fire, guard Miss Luo thoughtfully, and send someone to watch over the little prince-" Xu Wei said hurriedly.

Luo Min smiled and said: "Lord Xu, little girl, don't worry too much, there is a high head, nothing can go wrong." ”

Xu Wei nodded and said, "I'm afraid this arson is not Cheng Degandi." You took advantage of the chaos to behead Cheng De today. Although it has been exempted from future troubles, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain it to the military department. ”

Stomach Lin Wanrong glanced anxiously and saw the fire on Luo Ninghua's boat. It seemed to be ignited from the main cabin, and suddenly remembered that Luo Ning and Qiaoqiao were in the side room, and his heart was in a hurry, and he said with red eyes: "Quickly row——"

Seeing that he was so anxious, Xian'er took his hand and said, "Don't worry. The concubine will help you. ”

Qin Xian'er stood on the bow of the boat, her feet were straining, and her whole body turned sharply. And the boat went forward like an arrow off the string.

Oh, why didn't I think of it, doesn't Sister An often use this trick to row, Lao Tzu also has kung fu. He was anxious, stepped forward and grabbed Xian'er's little hand and said, "Wife, I'm here to help you too." ”

Qin Xian'er smiled sweetly, grabbed Xianggong's big hand, and the two of them worked together. Lin Wanrong's skills are not trivial, and husband and wife work together. The boat sped up a lot in an instant. Xu Zhen and several sergeants secretly stuck out their tongues when they watched from behind, the general and his wife could row without pulp, and they were really gods.

Du Xiuyuan had already led thousands of soldiers to take small boats, holding torches high, illuminating the water as if it were day, and the three big ships were surrounded. The two boats on which the talented men were riding had already become a pot of porridge, and the sergeants quickly approached the big boat to fetch water to put out the fire.

Luo Ning took the Dihua boat, all of them were dignitaries and dignitaries from famous families in Jinling City, and they also panicked when they saw the situation of swords, guns and open flames in front of them. Zhao Kangning sat in the crowd, standing still, a smug look flashed at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes looked at Luo Ning's boudoir upstairs from time to time.

When the boat approached the painting boat, Lin Wanrong was about to stride up, but Qin Xian'er grabbed him and said, "Xianggong, and slowly-"

Lin Wanrong looked back at her puzzled, Xian'er took out a scarf from her clothes, covered her face, and said shyly: "When the concubine was in Miaoyufang in the past, in order to teach the great plan, she circled among everyone, and many people in Jinling knew about it. Today, I am married to my husband, and if they recognize me, they will surely cause trouble for him. ”

This girl, thinking about it thoroughly, Lin Wanrong smiled slightly, and when she saw her covering her face, she took her little hand and stepped up.

Lin Wanrong was worried about the safety of Qiaoqiao and the others, so he hurried over, he looked at the crowd, there was a mess everywhere, and he searched several times, but he didn't see Luo Ning and Qiaoqiao's figures.

"Xianggong, look!" Xian'er pointed her hand and shouted hurriedly.

Lin Wanrong looked up, but saw that the fire in the wing room above the top was raging, and the windows of the paper bag were all burning, crackling. Two black shadows were sneaking in along the eaves of the wing room, these two people were very well hidden, if it wasn't for Xian'er to see it, it would be difficult for others to find it.

Damn, sure enough, someone is making a ghost, Lin Wanrong shouted, and rushed upstairs with Xian'er. There was a soft thud, and a piece of burning wood fell in front of him, almost setting his clothes on fire.

Xian'er saw that Xianggong was so desperate, and hurriedly protected him, Lin Wanrong looked up, only to see that the two black shadows had been stopped by a big man, and the three of them stood together, Lin Wanrong saw it really, and it was the master who stopped the two thieves.

"Big brother, big brother—" There was a sudden coquettish cry from the room.

As soon as Lin Wanrong turned her head, she saw Qiaoqiao lying in front of a window that was still intact, waving her hands and shouting to herself excitedly.

"Qiaoqiao, wait for me-" Lin Wanrong jumped up and shouted, seeing that Qiaoqiao was unharmed, his heart calmed down.

Xian'er and the two of them were about to continue upstairs, but they saw Luo Min and Xu Wei coming out of a side room, and walked over quickly and said: "Little brother, don't worry, I have already sent guards to protect the two girls, they will not be in danger, you must not take risks yourself, just wait with peace of mind." ”

Not in a hurry? Damn, that's my wife, of course you're not in a hurry. I despise you two old foxes, and a good show of catching turtles in an urn has been turned into a pot of porridge by you, and I am embarrassed to tell me not to be in a hurry. He swept his eyes and saw Zhao Kangning sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand, leisurely savoring, with a smile on his face, extremely complacent.

You're fucking dragged on my day. Lin Wanrong whispered a few words in Xian'er's ear, Xian'er smiled lightly, found a bamboo chopstick and folded it into two, flicked her hand lightly, and heard a soft snap, Zhao Kangning's seat fell apart, Ning Xiaowang sat on the ground, and the hot tea splashed him, Zhao Kangning screamed, and the crowd in this cabin was shocked.

Lin Wanrong smiled, took advantage of the chaos and Xian'er hurriedly went upstairs, only to see Gao Shou leading more than a dozen guards, surrounding the four assassins in the middle. Damn, it turned out that there were two more hidden, but fortunately Lao Luo and they arranged it, otherwise this matter would not be good today. These Assassins are not weak in martial arts, and although they are besieged by the group, they are still stubborn, and they are loyal at a glance.

Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "You stubborn things, your master has been taken down, and you are still resisting here." ”

Although the four assassins had been trained for a long time, their human instinct still made their eyes look at Zhao Kangning inadvertently.

Sure enough, it's this dog thing. Lin Wanrong's heart was furious, today's situation is in chaos, let Xian'er take advantage of his unpreparedness to kill this dog thing? The crazy idea startled him, and admittedly, it was tempting. But in this way, Xu Wei and Luo Min will be in big trouble.

He hated to suppress the thoughts in his heart, but the fairy here was not idle, and the four assassins were inexplicably stunned, and they were captured by Gao Shou in one fell swoop.

"Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao-" Lin Wanrong rushed into Luo Ning's boudoir, Qiaoqiao had tears in her eyes, a smile on her face, and suddenly rushed into his arms and cried: "Big brother, big brother, you're here!" ”

"Winter baby, you are my little liver, of course I am coming." Lin Wanrong whispered in her ear, and at the same time secretly glanced at Xian'er. I saw the jealous little girl who loved to be the most, looking at Qiaoqiao with a smiling face, surprisingly quiet. Xian'er, who likes to eat flying vinegar, is so peaceful with Qiaoqiao, this is really fate!

"Qiaoqiao, there is a fire on this building, and it is so dangerous, why don't you go downstairs?" Lin Wanrong said.

"It's not that I won't go down, it's Sister Ning—" Qiaoqiao said this, paused, and secretly looked at the bed: "She said that she must wait until you come before she is willing to go downstairs-"

Lin Wanrong glanced at it, and saw Luo Ning's girl sitting on the edge of the bed, with tears on her face not dry, but she didn't have any expression, just stared at him blankly and didn't say a word.

Lin Wanrong was a little hairy by her gaze, what's wrong with this chick, she won't look for me desperately, right? I'm really in a hurry, aren't I rushing back again? He felt a little guilty in his heart, and he couldn't hold back the uneasiness in his heart, Nana walked over, squatted in front of her, and said softly: "Miss Luo, you, are you okay?" ”

A burst of nephrite jade fragrance slammed into his arms, Luo Ning's plump and fiery delicate body was tightly pressed against his chest, his hands wrapped around his waist, two soft and hot cherry lips suddenly covered his lips, and a fragrance like blue musk rushed into his nose, making him dizzy for a while.

In a daze, Lin Wanrong banged softly in his head, my god, Lao Tzu was forcibly kissed by this chick?
