Looking at Li Tai brushing his sleeves away, several people didn't know what to say. Li Wuling opened his mouth and said, "Lin San, you really don't want to join the army?" Although I don't agree with your point of view, I admire your courage, and there are not many people who dare to talk to my grandfather like this. ”

Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Telling the truth is a respect for the old general. Although I don't want to join the army at the moment, the world is impermanent and changeable, maybe one day we will become brothers in life and death, no one can say for sure. ”

Hu Bugui hurriedly nodded and said, "Exactly." General Lin acted unpredictably, not for superficial people like us to understand, I think he will have a time to surprise my brother one day. ”

Hearing General Lin's refusal to join the army again, although everyone was disappointed, as General Lin said, the world is impermanent, everything will change, and it is unknown that he will come back one day.

Everyone is open-minded, and they talk about some brotherhood, but they are also very happy. Although Li Wuling is young, he has grown up in the army since he was a child, and he has no estrangement with them.

Lin Wanrong asked about the special situation of Hu Bugui and the others after they arrived in Beijing, and the three of them suddenly looked pale again. It turned out that Xu Wei attached great importance to the right army that had made great contributions, and after the army returned to the capital, Xu Dashuai personally recommended it to the emperor, and Hu Bugui and others entered the pilgrimage to see him, received a commendation, and each received a reward for ten thousand households.

Not only that, Xu Wei also recommended the three of them to the account of General Li Tai, the first marshal of Dahua, and when they went to the front line to fight against the Hu people, it was natural for the three of them to make new contributions.

Lin Wanrong nodded, Xu Wei is indeed a rare person of insight, who does not seek selfishness or greed. Lao Xu, who exterminated the White Lotus and rectified the officialdom, was an expert, but when it came to fighting the Hu people, he was the first to recommend the respected General Li Tai. Hu Bugui and others are all brave and resourceful generals, and only by following Li Tai's account to the north to resist Hu can they make the best use of them.

I spoke for a while. Hu Bugui sighed: "When it comes to fighting against the Hu people, although I have the heart to win, I have to admit some facts. The thieves are tall and strong, and they are good at fighting with horses. But my great victory is in strategy and command, with which I can keep the enemy out of the country. It's just that over the years, the imperial court has emphasized literature over martial arts, and the great prosperity has become a trend of exaggeration, and scholars have gone to learn those unpopular poems, calligraphy and paintings. What's more, there were even eight lambs who proposed to cede land and give tribute to appease the Hu people. Bao Dahua is at peace for a while. Damn, are these people pig brains? The ambition of the thief and the wolf, everyone looks at it, but these adults with big bellies and round waists can't see it? Womb, what a-" Speaking of this, Hu Bugui was so angry that he slapped the table heavily, his face full of anger.

Seeing that Lin Wanrong was stunned, Du Xiuyuan knew that he was not in the court and didn't know about these militaristic things, so he sighed and said: "General Lin, don't blame Brother Hu for being rude." A few months ago, Lord Xu was discussing the matter of sending troops to fight against the Hu people this spring. It is really disgraceful that some people have proposed to cut land and sue for peace. Fortunately, Xu Dashuai and General Li were ill, and the emperor made up his mind to send troops this spring to fight to the death with the Hu people. It's a pity that I have been comfortable for many years, my literary style is prosperous, and talented Confucians are endless, but the military generals are extremely scarce. The army went on an expedition, and there were many Chinese officers and military generals in the DPRK, but except for General Li Lao, none of them could be of great use. In desperation, the only way to ask General Li to put up the seal of the commander again and lead the army on an expedition in the ancient years is not heartbreaking? ”

Speaking of this, several people sighed for a while, and even the young Li Wuling shook his head again and again.

Prosperous times, prosperous times, this is the natural law of social development, which dynasty and generation can't escape, Lin Wanrong looked at it openly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, my Dahua has a long history, it's by no means that there are no talents, it's just that the dragon is lurking in the abyss and has not yet been discovered." There are talented people from all generations, each leading the way for hundreds of years, and when it comes to a critical juncture, there will be heroes and heroes who will come forward. ”

Hu Bugui nodded: "Although this is the case, but seeing that the old general has to travel thousands of miles at such an age to fight for the country, I and other brothers are anxious - General Lin, you really don't think about it anymore?" ”

After talking for a long time, they are still thinking about it, Lin Wanrong said with a smile: Let's put this matter aside, the plan may not be able to catch up with the changes. Oh, by the way, the Mr. Xu you are talking about, is it the Miss Xu who teaches the arithmetic calendar? ”

Du Xiuyuan said strangely: "It is this Mr. Xu." Why, General Lin has seen her? That's good, you're all such talented people, you can talk well and be confidants. ”

Bosom friend? Khan, how do I feel like a mortal enemy! Hu Bugui also nodded: "Mr. Xu is erudite and talented, astronomy and geography, mathematics and calendar, I didn't believe it before, these days, she and General Li often come to teach us the art of war, even the old general often asks her for advice, I Hu Moucai is convinced that she is the first strange woman in Dahua, it is not an exaggeration." ”

Listening to a few of them boasting about Miss Xu, Li Wuling smiled and said: "You still need to say this, Aunt Xu's talent, which one in the capital doesn't know, which one doesn't know?" ”

Aunt? Lin Wanrong was surprised, Miss Xu is Li Tai's daughter? It's not right, it's clear that one surnamed Xu and the other surnamed Li, a relative who can't be beaten with eight poles, and an aunt from where did she come from.

He pulled Du Xiuyuan over and said, "Brother Du, does this Mr. Xu have anything to do with Old General Li?" ”

Du Xiuyuan sighed and said, "You are not in the army, and you don't know their origins, no wonder." The Li and Xu families are inextricably linked, and Miss Xu has been promised to the second son of General Li Tai since she was a child. It's just that the old general guards the border all the year round, and it is far away from the capital, and Li Ergongzi followed his father's side, and before he met Miss Xu, he died on the battlefield. The Li family is full of loyalty, both of them sacrificed their lives for the country, and the emperor issued eighteen holy decrees in a row to overcome the old general's temperament and take him back to Beijing from the border to retire. ”

So that's the case, Lin Wanrong sighed deeply, this Miss Xu turned out to be Li Taiwei's daughter-in-law, no wonder she asked her if she was married, she didn't answer at all, and no wonder she combed the woman's hair in a bun, but that Ye Gongzi still chased after her. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. What's more, he is still a widowed Wenjun, which is also normal.

"Lin San, do you know my aunt too?" Li Wuling said: "I feel that the two of you should be able to talk very well. ”

"Young man, men's feelings are often wrong." Lin Wanrong smiled and patted Li Wuling's shoulder. Hu Bugui and the others also laughed.

After saying goodbye to these people and leaving Jinghua College, it was already twilight, and I didn't know if the eldest lady had come back from visiting her wife's old friend.

This Jinghua College is built on the mountain, embracing a deep lake, but it has a nice name, called "Bibo Tan", and the environment is elegant. Pleasant view. The cool breeze by the lake, blowing on the face, although I feel slightly frozen, but also sober.

Lin Wanrong found a clean place, leaned on a dry willow tree, and sat down. The lake was full of smoke and mist, but he was a little stunned.

When will I find Qingxuan? Is it really necessary to wait like this? Wait until the seventh day of July? But what about Qiaoqiao? She is still in Jinling day and night looking forward to her return. Thinking of this, he felt a little irritated in his heart. Throwing a stone into the water, there was a soft pop, and layers of ripples spread in all directions.

"Who?" A coquettish cheer was heard not far away.

Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, looked up, but saw a figure standing by a tree not far away, vaguely visible to be a woman, the thick trunk covered her slender body and face, so that Lin Wanrong did not even notice her existence. It was the strange noise that woke the woman from her musings, and she asked questions.

This lake is not your home, and throwing a stone should make such a fuss? He's in a bad mood...... He snorted and shouted, "It's not human! ”

When the woman heard him say this, she looked at him intently, and said, "It's you!" ”

saw the delicate face behind the tree, but it turned out to be that Miss Xu, counting the meeting in the temple yesterday, this was the third encounter in two days.

Where don't we meet in life, hehe, Miss Xu, we are really fateful. Since she saw it, he simply strode towards Miss Xu.

Miss Xu glanced at him vigilantly and said in surprise, "You are following me?" ”

Trace? Lao Tzu didn't use this trick for a long time. Lin Wanrong shrugged: "I said no, would you believe it?" You just follow you, very well, am I robbing a fortune or a robbery? ”

Miss Xu frowned and said, "The words are light and thin, and they really deserve to be beaten." ”

She raised the chain crossbow in her hand: "I warned you yesterday, but you still don't repent." ”

This chick carries this thing with her for self-defense. Lin Wanrong smiled: "Repent, repent of what?" I will not steal or rob, to whom I will repent. It's Miss Xu, you, who carry a chain crossbow with you, and you don't know who you're guarding against. Didn't Brother Li Shengli tell you that this chain crossbow is not omnipotent? ”

"Do you know Li Sheng?" Miss Xu said strangely: "This chain crossbow is powerful, suitable for cavalry and infantry combat, what other weapon can be stronger than it-ah-"

There was a loud "thump-" sound, the water splashed high, and a huge whirlpool on the surface of the lake slowly dispersed, and the air was filled with the smell of fireworks.

Lin Wanrong smiled, stretched out his palm and shook it, "Have you seen it, this is called a yang finger, which is a hundred times stronger than your chain crossbow." I'm leaving you alone, so I don't care about you. ”

Miss Xu was so frightened when she heard that loud noise for the first time that she covered her ears all of a sudden, and when she saw him proudly showing off in front of her, she couldn't help but sneer and said: "A musket is a musket, but you have to pretend to be a finger and bully others, but you don't want to deceive me!" ”

"You know the musket?" Lin Wanrong was shocked and said, this thing that Qing Xuan gave her is extremely precious, but not everyone knows it, this Miss Xu can say her name, how can she not surprise him.

"This musket was brought in by Westerners, and was demonstrated by a British missionary in the palace in the past, and I have seen its power, and I have studied it repeatedly, but with my Dahua craftsmanship, it cannot be imitated—"

"British missionaries?" Lin Wanrong was startled, took a step forward towards her, and said loudly, "What's his name?" ”

Miss Xu took two steps back, raised the chain crossbow in her hand and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Damn, Lao Tzu can still be rude to you, Lin Wanrong said nervously: "May I ask Miss Xu, this British missionary." Isn't it listening to York? ”

Miss Xu looked at him in surprise and said, "How do you know?" The missionaries of York have long since returned to Britain, is this one in your hand—"

Thank God thank you, Lin Wanrong couldn't wait to look up to the sky and cry bitterly, and finally found someone who could speak, although this person was not so friendly to him.

He did his best to make the expression on his face kind. He said softly: "Miss Xu, do you know who the missionary York later gave this musket to?" ”

"You have a musket in your hand, and you want to ask him who he gave it to?" Miss Xu shook her head and snorted: "Bullying me as a weak woman with a musket in her hand, and still wanting to be so pretentious, inexplicable." ”

You're inexplicable, if you didn't point an arrow at me, I would have pulled out a gun at you? Lin Wanrong was annoyed in her heart, but there was a smile on her face that was not worth her life: "Miss Xu misunderstood." This musket was given to me by a friend of mine, but unfortunately we were separated later, and I don't know where she lives, so I asked. There is a young lady named Xiao Qingxuan, do you know her? ”

Miss Xu shook her head and said, "I don't know what you said about Miss Xiao, and I haven't heard of who this musket was given to by York." ”

No way. I don't know anything, you're still dragging like this? Lin Wanrong tried to keep the smile on her face from stiffening: "Miss Xu." You say York is a missionary, and you saw him in the palace in the past, right? ”

This time, Miss Xu finally nodded, but Lin Wanrong was stunned: In the palace? How does Qing Xuan have a relationship with the palace? Lady-in-waiting? No, is there a palace maid who looks so beautiful? Can the emperor spare her? Concubines? Phew, she's my wife, she was still a yellow flower virgin when she was double cultivated, and the concubine was a fart!

Those who are in the palace are not palace maids, nor concubines. Could it be that she was—his heart was pounding, and he was so startled that he almost jumped.

Princess? My wife is a princess? Oh my God, I'm not a colt? He couldn't think about it anymore, thinking about Qing Xuan's peerless demeanor and unique temperament, he felt more and more that this possibility was very high. If this is the case, Lao Tzu is grateful to the sky, the Xiao family, and the White Lotus Sect, it was they who joined forces and gave me a princess wife, wahahaha!

He is dreaming of himself here, but Miss Xu is confused by it, only to see the Xiao family, the expression on his face is rich, sometimes surprised, sometimes happy, sometimes obscene, sometimes missing, it is really unpredictable.

"Sanlin, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that this person was stupid, Miss Xu couldn't help frowning lightly and called.

"Oh, is Miss Xu talking to me, I'm fine, I'm fine, hehe-" Lin Wanrong came to his senses from his obscenity, at the moment these are still his guesses, and everything is unknown until Qing Xuan is found.

Guarding against arrogance and rashness, and making persistent efforts, he encouraged himself in his heart, but the smile on his face was very cheap, and he laughed a few times before saying: "Miss Xu, you are very familiar with the things in this palace, aren't you?" Tell me, how many princesses do we have under the knees of the emperor of Dahua today? ”

Miss Xu smiled: "It's not very familiar, it's just that everyone in Dahua knows these things you asked, why don't you know?" Could it be that you don't live in my Dahua? ”

I'm from Mars, can't I? Lin Wanrong smiled dryly: "The main reason is that I've been too busy lately, and I've confused my brain." How many princesses does the emperor have today, and how old are they? ”

Miss Xu looked at him carefully, and saw that his expression was eager and did not seem to be fake, and she had a strange intuition in her heart, this person must have come out of the ground, and he didn't even know this.

"There are two Gonggui as emperors. The eldest princess is already in her forties, but the little princess is in her teens. ”

Forty-year-old is definitely not my wife, could it be that Qingxuan is the second princess? The two sisters are actually more than twenty years apart, and the emperor doesn't know how to give birth.

Miss Xu seemed to see through the doubts in his heart, and knew that he didn't know anything about the royal heirs, so she simply said: "As an emperor who is diligent and loves the people, he has worked hard for a long time, and he has only married five concubines in his life, and all of them were married when he was not on the throne. Between the two princesses, there was also a prince born, but twenty years ago, when the emperor was still in the palace, the prince died unexpectedly. Although a princess was born, the pain of losing a child made the emperor sad, and there was nothing for 20 years. ”

So that's it! This emperor ascended the throne in his thirties, when he was in the prime of life, why didn't he have any children? Is it really because of the "" and "days" for a long time, that thing is damaged? There are quirks!

Lin Wanrong was puzzled in her heart, if I want to be the emperor in my thirties, Lao Tzu is fierce and fierce, in 20 years, if you don't give birth to a hundred children, you will have to give birth to 80!

"Then may I ask Miss Xu again, is this little princess married to someone else?" Lin Wanrong asked shyly.

"What is this for, you ask? Miss Xu smiled and said: "These two princesses are indifferent by nature, living in a simple place, and in a year, it is rare for anyone to see her, even my father only saw her when she was young." As for whether there is a family or not, I don't know about this. Perhaps, you can go and ask. ”

The latter sentence is pure sarcasm, Lin Wanrong pretended not to hear it, "Indifferent by nature, living in a simple place", this is somewhat similar to Qingxuan, but based on this alone, can I judge that my wife is a princess? It seems that it is necessary to go to the palace and "communicate" with the second princess.

Seeing that the third prince was pondering, Miss Xu said, "Do you still have any questions?" ，

"It's basically gone, Mr. Xie Xu answered the question in my heart, I will invite you to dinner another day!" Lin Wanrong grinned.

Miss Xu shook her head slightly: "But you haven't answered my question yet, how did you know Li Sheng?" Do you know Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan? ”

"It should be considered an acquaintance, after all, everyone is mixed up in the road."

Miss Xu nodded slightly and said, "I understand, Sanlin, Lin San, it turns out that you are the General Lin they often mention!" ”

"I'm ashamed, I'm not a general, I'm just a little family member with no name in the Xiao family, just a little family member, just a mess of food!" Lin Wanrong said with a hippie smile.

Miss Xu looked at him carefully, and said, "In this way, you were the one who watched the lantern and guessed the riddle that day?" You're the one who sprouts and washes your hands in the oil pan? Listening to my father talk about you, I originally admired you very much, but what you did yesterday is difficult for people to have a good impression. When you do evil things, you use a pseudonym, and when you do serious things, you use a big name, which is very false. ”

Daimyo? Do you think Lin San is my name? This young lady is interesting! He laughed and said, "Miss Xu said this to make me suspicious, listening to what you said, if I don't do evil like yesterday, I will have a good impression of me?" ”

Miss Xu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect her unintentional sentence to let the other party catch the language disease, and Lin San reacted very quickly.

"Miss has probably seen a lot of humble gentlemen, and she is not used to an evil person like me. In fact, it doesn't matter if it's bad or good, it's all feelings, just remember it. Besides, I've never thought of myself as a good person - can a good person live a long life? ”

This crooked reasoning made Miss Xu not know how to refute, Lin Wanrong put the musket hidden behind him back into his arms, and said with a smile: "Oh, by the way, I heard Miss Xu mention Ling Zun, may I ask who he is the old man, and how can he recognize me?" ”

"He's also a scholar, don't mention his name, you'll know when you meet him." Miss Xu said indifferently.

A scholar? The surname Xu? Lin Wanrong's face changed, and she said in surprise: "Are you the girl of the old Xu family?" "Damn, Lao Tzu was kicked in the head by a pig? The surname Xu is so outstanding, and he is also familiar with Lin San's affairs, who else can there be besides Lao Xu and his daughter?

Why is this person so rude, Miss Xu was secretly annoyed, but she didn't have a seizure, she only nodded.

Lin Wanrong glanced at her with a smile and said, "Oh, oops, the young ladies of the Xu family look like this?" I didn't recognize it! Well, how old are you? I really don't know each other, I knew it was like this, and yesterday we took shelter from the rain together and recognized our relatives-"

No matter how good Miss Xu's cultivation is, she can't help but be angry when she listens to his words. Seeing Miss Xu's clenched little fist, he pretended not to see it, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, your father and your Aunt Su are still the big media I protect." By the way, Miss Xu, what's your name-"

Seeing him so arrogant, Miss Xu gritted her silver teeth, but when she heard him mention her father and aunt, she didn't dare not answer, gritted her teeth and said, "My name is Xu Zhiqing!" ”――

It's the end of the month, and I'm asking for tickets! Monthly passes, recommended tickets, all wanted, brothers, don't waste it in your hands, hehe!
