Chapter 149: Born to Flicker

Lin Wanrong glanced around, and made sure that he was the only one, so he smiled at the man, "Brother, are you calling me?"

This old brother made the yellow-robed man laugh and said, "It's talking to you."

Lin Wanrong was surprised, I don't know you, but what are you talking to me? The man laughed, "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you. Do you know Wei Xian?"

"Wei Xian? I don't know." Lin Wanrong said.

"Not necessarily, you seem to call him Uncle Wei." The man said again.

"Uncle Wei?" Lin Wanrong was surprised, "How do you know him?"

Wei Xian? Uncle Wei's original name was Wei Xian, and Lin Wanrong didn't know his name until now, and it turned out to be only one word different from Wei Zhongxian, so dangerous.

The man laughed and said, "I've known him for a long time, so why don't I know him? Not only do I know him, but I also know you, your name is Lin Wanrong, and now you are on an errand in the Xiao family, Lin San's pseudonym was taken by Wei Xian for you, is it right?"

As soon as he said this, Lin Wanrong no longer had any doubts, the name Lin San was indeed taken by Old Man Wei, and only Old Wei and Lin Wanrong knew the details in the world.

"How? If you believe it, can you come forward and talk about it?" The man smiled, his eyes were bright, although he was smiling, he had an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

"This old gentleman, do you really know Uncle Wei?" Lin Wanrong stepped forward and said. Looking at this person carefully, he seems to be middle-aged at first, but on closer inspection, it may not be true. Although this old gentleman is well maintained, his face is a little sickly pale, and he can see that his body is not very good, his sideburns are all white, and he is afraid that he is fifty or sixty years old.

Seeing that Lin Wanrong was closer, several strong men nearby became nervous. The old man in the yellow robe shook his head slightly, and the few people settled down.

The yellow-robed old man's eyes narrowed slightly, glanced at him, and said unhurriedly, "You are Lin Wanrong?" He spoke in a small voice. But there seemed to be a strange rhythm, like a heavy drum ringing in Lin Wanrong's ears, making him feel a sense of oppression. Damn, this old man is a little weird.

"I'm Lin Wanrong. I wonder what this old gentleman is looking for me?" It's weird. Although the old man was smiling and talking, Lin Wanrong could always feel the pressure. It seems that this yellow-robed old man has a majestic momentum on him, which makes people have to surrender.

After coming to this world, Lin Wanrong felt a little restrained for the first time, as if in front of this person, no matter how much ability she could show.

Lin Wanrong glanced at the old man. saw that he was looking at himself with a smile, as if he was a mouse in his eyes to be caught.

Is it right for the eye? So will I. Lin Wanrong was stubborn in her heart, so she looked at the old man without saying a word, and she was still a little restrained at first. Slowly, I got used to it, no matter who you are, it's not all the same as Lao Tzu with one nose and two eyes, afraid of your ball.

As soon as his mind was released, the pressure on his body plummeted, and the old man's eyes were no longer sharp.

"Sir, you didn't come to me just to see me, did you? Are you going to invite me to dinner? If you have a local language, please speak directly. I'm rarely polite." Lin Wanrong said with a smile, in front of this majestic old man, he was more and more free. In this world, there are really few people who can overwhelm him in momentum.

The old man laughed, and the momentum on his body softened a lot, and said, "Wei Xian is right, you are really thick-skinned."

Day, this old man doesn't know how to be tactful, isn't this shaving my face, Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "People live in this world, the most important thing is this face. The same skin, but a hundred kinds of life. Laugh on the outside, cry on the inside; He who laughs inside, but cries outside. This cheek is the most unreliable thing in the world, what use is it."

The old man laughed loudly, and the sound actually penetrated the entire bamboo forest, startling a few birds hidden deep in the forest, and the momentum was really extraordinary. Lin Wanrong glanced at him, you old man, why are you laughing so loudly, aren't you bluffing?

The old man laughed a few times, but he coughed sharply, and a person who looked like a waiter next to him hurriedly handed over some pills, the old man swallowed the pills, his breath calmed down a little, his face was a little more bloody, and he looked at Lin Wanrong and smiled: "I didn't expect you to be so young, but you can also have such a feeling. You're right, in this world, the skin is the most useless thing. Someone has a good face, but no one knows what is in his belly, so what good is it to have this kind of skin."

He calmed down for a moment and said with a smile: "I already knew from Wei Xian that you have a set, but when I saw it today, it really has some doorways. Would you mind talking to an old man like me for a while?"

Lin Wanrong smiled: "Old man, I'm all here, what else do you mind. To tell you the truth, Uncle Wei is my savior, and if you are his friend, then you will also be my friend. Have a few words with your friends, and what else do you mind if you don't mind."

The old man in the yellow robe glanced at him and said, "What a mouth." His eyes flashed, and he said, "You said that Wei Xian was your savior, but if one day, you had to kill him, would you do it?"

The old man's eyes opened and closed, as if there was a divine light, as if he wanted to see through everyone, but Lin Wanrong was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Is this possible? Even if I had, I wouldn't do it. The reason why people are different from beasts is that they have their own thoughts and feelings, if I don't live with Uncle Wei, how is it different from beasts?"

"The Kindness of a Woman!" The old man closed his eyes and sighed, "Those who achieve great things must be informal. You're too young."

Khan, a man in his twenties, even said that he was young, and he didn't know what this old man had experienced, Lin Wanrong didn't fight with him, and said with a smile: "Old man, did you come to me to tell me these things?"

The old man's expression changed and he smiled, "Not really. Where are you?"

I also want to know how to answer this question, Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly and said, "It's a Jingchu clan."

"I heard that the Xiao family's business was all planned by you for them, yes or no?" The old man said again.

Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Sort of."

The old man nodded: "You do have a set of business in this business. If the people of the world are like you, and put their minds on management, then where else is there any misfortune in the world?"

Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "If you want to have no disasters in the world, it's very simple. The people's livelihood is sufficient."

"Oh," the old man looked at him with interest. He said, "Tell me about it."

"People's livelihood, people's livelihood, to put it bluntly, is the livelihood of the people. The word livelihood. For ordinary people, it couldn't be simpler, there is food to eat, clothes to wear, and the people of Dahua are the kindest. They will be satisfied with food and clothing, and they will want to cause any trouble." Lin Wanrong said.

"Food and clothing are naturally important. If you are afraid, you will be afraid of evil in people's hearts." The old man glanced at him and said, "It's like the White Lotus Sect causing chaos, and it is being used by people with evil intentions."

Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Old man, I don't agree with your statement. The White Lotus Sect rebelled, but the cause was the riot of the hungry people, and it was only later that it was used by the demons. If the people have food and clothing, how can they cause chaos?"

A cold light flashed in the old man's eyes and said, "The White Lotus Rebellion has brought disaster to my Dahua Foundation. In your opinion, how can it be eradicated?"

How could this old man discuss these things with me, Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Old man, this matter is not in my hands, right?"

The old man in the yellow robe smiled and said, "I'm just chatting with you casually, and you can tell me your opinion."

Lin Wanrong didn't have a good impression of Bai Lian, and this old man was a friend of Old Man Wei, so he said, "Divide and separate. Take its head, attack it from inside and outside, and rule it with great discipline."

The old man pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "What do you think about the invasion of the heavy enemy in the north?"

"An invasion of the North?" Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, why did this old man ask about this, the more he listened, the more mysterious he became, his tone was a little like Qing Xuan, he smiled and said, "Do you still need to think about this? Everyone else has come in, but is there any other way than the First World War?"

"If everybody thinks like you, then it's fine." The old man snorted and said, "The Hu people have only temporarily attacked a few cities of mine, and they have not yet invaded the hinterland of my Dahua, and public opinion is everywhere in the court, and the main battle and the main peace faction have quarreled."

Lin Wanrong shook her head, damn, what's going on with our nation, we like to make civil strife when we have nothing to do, when the enemy comes, we have to fight, and we have a fart.

"The treasury is empty, the soldiers lack combat strength, the court has no unscrupulous generals, the country has no strong soldiers, and the ministers of the court and the central government suggest that it is better to seek peace first, and then seek conspiracy," the old man glanced at him and said, "What do you think?"

"Ask for peace with a fart, his mother." Lin Wanrong scolded angrily.

The old man smiled slightly, "Are you the main battle?"

Lin Wanrong snorted: "If you win, you have to fight, and if you don't win, you have to fight. If we can't win in one year, we just lose the city, and we can fight again in the next year, every year, until we win. If you don't dare to fight, you will lose the support of the people. Lost city or lost country, old man, which one would you like to choose?"

"Lost Cities and Lost Countries?" The old man sighed and said with a smile, "What a lost city and a lost country, I didn't expect you to have such knowledge. The people in the court do not understand it without you."

Lin Wanrong shook her head and said, "It's not that they don't understand, it's that they see it too clearly. If the country is destroyed, they will surrender, and they are also high-ranking officials. Only the emperor sitting on the golden hall is the most nervous, everyone else can descend, but he can't. Who do you say understands among them? The human heart, the human heart—"

"Hahahaha-" The old man in Chinese clothes laughed a few times and said, "It's good, people's hearts are people's hearts. Since ancient times, it has been this man who has a bad heart. Lin Wanrong, you are not very old, but you have a thorough understanding of people's hearts, good, good."

The old man talked even more, and said, "If it is the main battle, then the Hu physique is burly and strong, and with the combat power of my Dahua's soldiers, they are all in a weak position, how can they fight?"

Damn, this question is also asking me? I've never been to war. Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly: "Old man, I haven't been to the court, nor have I been to the battlefield, so I don't know much about this battle."

The old gentleman waved his hand and said, "It's better if you don't go to the court, you can say anything, if you go to the court, I'm afraid you won't be able to say anything." You just talk about it, if you, a person who doesn't understand state affairs and war, get involved, what will you do? Maybe you can see it better than those of us in the middle."

Lin Wanrong saw that this person had a good demeanor, and he was quite imposing in his conversation, and he said in his heart. Uncle Wei's friend doesn't know what the origin is, he speaks with a bit of majesty, and his tone is very big, and this state and war are all at his fingertips. has no scruples, I am afraid that there are some big forces in Beijing.

He was a profiteer, and he couldn't afford to make a profit, so he smiled and said, "Old man. These things are something that I can talk about as a grass farmer, so let's not talk about it.

The old man smiled and said, "I know you're a businessman. I asked you to say this today, but I won't let you waste this word in vain, so I owe you a condition. When you come to Beijing in the coming day, you will come to look for me, and I will give you a wish."

Sure enough, this old man has a lot of background. It's just that I don't know what kind of official he is, and how can Lao Wei know such a high-ranking official.

The old man in the yellow robe took off a waist tag from his waist and said, "This can be counted as a token, if you arrive in the capital one day, you will find the Yamen to show this token." Someone will take you to me."

He handed the waist card to Lin Wanrong, Lin Wanrong took it in his hand and looked at it, but saw that it was half the size of a palm, it was actually made of pure gold, and it was very heavy, and there was a golden dragon engraved on both sides, and there was nothing else.

"This old gentleman, are you from the palace?" Lin Wanrong asked in surprise. He'd never seen it before, so why did it look like a Chincha token? However, at least one side of the Qincha token should be engraved with words, generally a "royal" character, symbolizing imperial power, and a more advanced one is a "I" character, which means that if I am there in person, it is a high-end product, which is difficult to see. I haven't seen these two sides of the dragon ground, and I don't know what it is. However, judging from the weight of this gold medal, I am afraid it is worth a lot of silver.

When the old man saw him playing with the gold medal, he smiled and said, "If he comes to the capital in the future, you will know what kind of person I am. Today you will be relieved and bold to say, if you are an outsider, how you should deal with this state war."

Waste a few mouthfuls of water and get a gold medal, this business is full of business, Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Since the old gentleman asked me to say it, then I will say it directly. It is true that there is a foreign enemy in the north, but that foreign enemy is not as strong as we think. They must also have enemies, enemies and enemies, that is, our friends, why don't we join forces with them to fight a strong enemy? That's what happens when you're in close proximity."

"Besides, these nomads, though they are strong in war, are also prone to division, and the rivalry between father and son is fierce, so why don't we take advantage of them? I have a great number of advisers, and there are not a few who are eloquent and good at lobbying, and if someone goes deep into the enemy's territory, agitates for an incorruptible abandonment, and promises some empty benefits, it is not impossible to divide from within." After Lin Wanrong finished speaking in one breath, she admired herself a little, damn, Lao Tzu can really fool, and it is the same as the truth.

"A good eloquent, a good lobbyist?" The old man muttered to himself, but he glanced at Lin Wanrong intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Wanrong sighed in her heart, ouch, isn't this just me, damn, I accidentally went around Lao Tzu, if I went to the hinterland to persuade the enemy, it would be ten deaths, and I couldn't do such a loss-making business.

The old man was silent for a long time, his eyes swept away, and he said, "From the perspective of you, an outsider, this method is also simple and practical, and the truth is also a little bit. Then what do you think about the war?"

Lin Wanrong blew it out, and saw that the old man seemed to be very satisfied, and said in his heart, I am summarizing the experience of history books, and I don't know how much I have read TV novels, isn't it easy to give you a few big and empty ideas? These words are like clouds floating in the sky and the earth, and they can be heard from the head to the head, but they can be seen but not touched, and they are very empty.

Speaking of war, Lin Wanrong flickered: "I have never been on the battlefield, but everything needs to be used to develop strengths and avoid weaknesses, but this trick is common in the world. For example, if the enemy is a good horseman, he will be trapped in city battles, and if the enemy is good at infantry, then the enemy will be limited to cavalry battles. Those nomads are experts in cavalry warfare, but they can't attack cities, and they are thousands of miles deep, and this logistical support will definitely be unsustainable. In my own land of Dahua, as long as there is a call, it is an inch of rivers and mountains, an inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 soldiers, all over the land are the people of Dahua, and all over the land are available soldiers.

Lin Wanrong said that later, she was a little too involved and hurriedly restrained her emotions.

The old man glanced at him and said, "If you are above the court, I am afraid that you will become the target of attack again. An inch of rivers and mountains, an inch of blood, 100,000 young men and 100,000 soldiers, if I have this idea from all over the country, then why worry that the Tartars will not be destroyed, and the rivers and mountains will not be restored?"

He sighed and said with a smile: "It's just that enthusiasm alone is not enough for this war, your words are on paper, but they may not be practical on the battlefield."

Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Sir, although my words are superficial and a bit on paper, they can be regarded as a general program direction. As for how to implement it, it should be my military attachés and generals in Dahua to figure out a way, and the court will give them a fortune to let them protect their families and defend the country, otherwise what is the use."

The old man nodded and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have some knowledge, and Wei Xian is not wrong."

An attendant came over and said a few words to the old man, the old man nodded, and said to Lin Wanrong: "I have some things to go first, if you arrive in the capital one day, come to me according to the way I said, remember, remember."

Watching the old man get into the sedan chair and rush away under the escort of the attendants, Lin Wanrong was still wondering in her heart, why did I talk nonsense with this old man for a long time for no reason, and I couldn't believe it.

He took a look at the gold medal in his hand, it was heavy and weighty, and he took it into his arms, which can be regarded as the only gain of this war of words.
