Chapter 176, Does the Yulin Army work in this kind of place
As a general judge of Shenzhou, Bai Lu understands his daughter's mind very well. And he not only understands his daughter's mind, but also his own mind.
Although Chao Yilang and Shenzhou Tongju are both six-rank officials, and one is a civil and prose official, and the other is a local official with real power. But after all, Chao Yilang is a Beijing official at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and Xu Lin is still a messenger who is ordered by the king. Maybe after doing a Qin errand, Meng Chang's Sanpin Right Deputy Governor Yushi may not have a new promotion, but Xu Lin's mere sixth-rank Wensan official Chao Yilang definitely has a chance to be promoted.
Not a possibility, but a certain promotion.
So not only did Bai Xiu set his sights on Xu Lin, but Bai Lu also set his sights on Xu Lin.
It's just that Bai Lu understands that maybe his daughter can pester Xu Lin regardless of a single qiΔ, but Bai Lu himself can't behave in any way in front of Xu Lin. Because even if Xu Lin refuses Bai Xiu, as long as she continues to support her daughter, Bai Xiu still has a chance. But if Bai Lu is also rejected by Xu Lin, not only will Bai Xiu have no chance to climb Xu Lin, but Bai Lu will become enemies with Xu Lin.
Becoming an enemy with a Beijing official, and becoming an enemy with a Qin cha who is about to be reused by the imperial court and reused by His Majesty, Bai Lu is not stupid enough to be this point.
Therefore, Bai Lu needs a turnaround, a real turnaround.
can let him meddle in the relationship between Bai Xiu and Xu Lin, but it will not give Xu Lin the opportunity to hate him, otherwise he will never be able to make a move.
"Hey, why doesn't it seem right?"
Although Bai Lu also heard Bai Xiu's invitation to Xu Lin before, he just pretended not to hear it. But when he looked into the entrance of Huiyin Mountain, Bai Lu began to feel that something was wrong in his heart. It's not that there's something that shouldn't appear at the entrance of Perines Mountain, but it's too quiet nearby.
"Master, what are you saying is wrong?"
Following Bai Lu's side, the officials of the General Judgment Mansion on the side did not feel more.
The general judge is only a civilian official, and he needs the protection of the official and the general more than the military attache who has the ability to protect himself. Therefore, for the sake of his daughter and for himself, Bai Lu not only borrowed a hundred soldiers from Mu Yan, but also brought out all the people who could be brought out of the Tongju Mansion.
It's just that Bai Lu didn't know that the people Mu Yan asked Bai Lu to bring to Xingcheng County to protect the Qincha team were all recruits, even worse than the officials of the Tongju Mansion.
"It's nothing, probably an illusion on the part of the official."
Seeing that no one else reacted, Bai Lu began to wonder if he was nervous. After all, Bai Lu was only a civil official, and he didn't have the keen sense of a military attachΓ©. So under Bai Lu's deliberate forgetfulness, the Qincha team began to slowly enter the entrance of the official road of Huiyin Mountain.
Entering the range of Perineum Mountain, Xu Lin suddenly felt quiet in his ears.
It seems that not only Bai Xiu no longer entangles himself, but even there is a lot less noise in the Qincha team, not to mention the depressing feeling brought by the Perineum Mountains on both sides that resemble steamed mounds.
"Master Xu, don't you think something is wrong?"
Maybe it's because of genetics, or maybe it's because of being a woman, Bai Xiu's feelings are much more sensitive than Xu Lin's. As a man, although Xu Lin did not run away from Bai Xiu because of "fear", he gradually felt a little tired of Bai Xiu's practice of having nothing to say, shook his head and said: "No, the official didn't feel any tired. β
"Master Xu, I said that if, if Miss Qu is willing to be your concubine, will you want to marry her?" As if he hadn't noticed Xu Lin's tired look, Bai Xiu said with some self-talk.
"Little, little concubine? Isn't Miss Qu's purpose just to develop in the capital? And she really wants to be a concubine, and she is also a concubine of Lord Meng! β
"I mean, what if, if Miss Qu is willing to be Lord Meng's concubine?" When Xu Lin's face changed slightly, Bai Xiu insisted in an unexpected trembling voice. β¦,
"This ......"
Xu Lin didn't expect Bai Xiu to ask herself such a question, because it was obvious that she was not asking Xu Lin for Qu Mei, but asking Xu Lin for herself.
Could it be that Bai Xiu intends to be his own concubine? Although her heart shook slightly, Xu Lin still felt that this was unlikely. Because even if Bai Xiu is far inferior to the officials and young ladies in the capital, but in Shenzhou City, and even in Shenzhou, because Mu Yan has no daughter, Bai Xiu can even be called the first lady.
But if you think about it carefully, after all, Beijing officials are still different from external officials. Xu Lin was at a loss for a moment in his heart and said, "If, if this official can reach the third-grade realm of Lord Meng, or at least the fourth-grade realm, this official should agree...... Be a concubine! But now ......"
"Thank you, Lord Xu."
Although Xu Lin's answer was a little ambiguous, Bai Xiu had completely understood Xu Lin's thoughts.
Because only with Xu Lin's current grade, he is indeed not qualified to say that he will accept Bai Xiu as a concubine, and Xu Lin is even more unwilling to marry Bai Xiu as his wife, because that will only cut off Xu Lin's future. Although Xu Lin does not have to win because of a woman, if she can have a good family, it will indeed be of great benefit to the career of officials.
And if Xu Lin is promoted to the fourth rank official, not to mention Na Qumei as a concubine, Na Bai Xiu as a concubine is more than enough.
As for whether Xu Lin will accept Bai Xiu as a concubine, that is, of course, another question.
"Boom ......"
Before Xu Lin and Bai Xiu could get out of the conversation full of lingering entanglements, there was a sudden loud noise behind the team, and even the ground shook like an earthquake.
After a burst of "Whoa! The horses screamed in fright, and Bai Lu, who was riding on the horse, immediately turned his head and looked at the back of the team.
I saw that in a burst of dust, the official road behind the team was actually crossed by a giant tree that had fallen one after another. Not only that, but under the force of the black shadows that emerged from the woods on both sides, countless large trees began to be pushed down, smashing in the direction of the Qincha team in turn.
"It's not good, it's Perineum Mountain Hulu, hurry, rush forward."
As an officer and soldier of Shenzhou, how could he not know about Huiyin Mountain. Not only did Bai Lu, who reacted, immediately shout, but those soldiers and officials from Shenzhou City began to rush forward wrapped in the Qincha team. It's not that they can't think that there is likely to be an ambush ahead, but when the back road has been blocked, they have no choice but to rush forward.
I hope that the road ahead is not blocked at least for now, and I hope that a few people will rush out before the encirclement of the Hulu in the Huiyin Mountain.
As for escaping from the woods next to the official road?
Not to mention that this is the territory of the Huiyin Mountain Hulu, no one can escape the hunting of the Huiyin Mountain Hulu. Looking at the figures looming in the woods, no one dared to leave the team and flee without permission. Because, if everyone is entangled together, they may be able to escape for their lives, in case they leave the Qincha team, not only will the Hulu of Huiyin Mountain let them die, but the court will also let them die.
"Whoa!"
As the Qincha team rushed forward, the Hulu of the Perineum Mountain in the woods on both sides were not in a hurry to surround and kill. It's just that the big trees behind the team are still falling one by one, desperately squeezing the living space of the Qincha team.
It was not until the whole procession had rushed about a hundred paces away, and had rounded a corner that was not a corner, that it came to an unwilling halt in the center of a neighing of horses and tugging on the reins.
Looking at the large pile of boulders and chaotic trees blocking the exit of Huiyin Mountain, as well as the black Hulu of Huiyin Mountain who came out of the battle behind the stone pile, Bai Lu grabbed the horse with a frightened face, glared at Hu Hansan who was sitting on the stone pile and shouted: "Hu Hansan, why do you want to lead the Hulu of Huiyin Mountain to block the way for us and others, don't you know that we are escorting the imperial court's Qincha team?" βγ
"Lord Tongju, don't say anything else." β¦,
Hu Hansan slapped the pipe in his hand, and didn't even stand up from the stone pile and said: "Hu has only one request, as long as you leave Meng Chang and Meng Pifu alone, the old man will ensure that everyone else can pass this Yin Mountain safely." He returned to Shenzhou City to reunite with his family and returned to the capital to submit his decree to the imperial court. β
"Presumptuous, who dares to threaten the imperial court."
Unlike the hundreds of soldiers that Bai Lu brought out from Shenzhou City, when they came out of the capital, Meng Chang and Xu Lin also brought two squads of Yulin Army.
The Yulin army generally stayed in Beijing to protect the imperial city, and only served as an envoy to protect the Qincha when the Qincha traveled.
The Yulin Army does not need to be strong in martial arts, nor even need to be excellent in combat skills, as long as it has a good body and majestic demeanor. Just like Lu Ying and Yan Xi, who are currently guarding the palace gate, they are also members of the Yulin Army, but the Yulin Army used for the announcement and the Yulin Army guarding the palace gate belong to two systems.
Chen Dan was the leader of the Yulin Army's protection team this time, and when he suddenly heard that Hu Hansan wanted to hand over Meng Chang by himself, he immediately became a little furious.
It was not because once Meng Chang made any mistakes, Chen Dan would not be able to explain to Tu Yun, the emperor of the North Yue Kingdom, but because these Huiyin Mountain Hulu actually dared not to put the Yulin Army and not put themselves in their eyes.
"Who are you?"
Looking at Chen Dan, who was dressed in a silver helmet and silver armor, Hu Hansan frowned.
"This general is Chen Dan, the captain of the Yulin Army in front of the Imperial Palace, and the thieves are not bound quickly." Riding his horse to the front of the Qincha team, Chen Dan raised the white-pole silver-headed gun in his hand and shouted.
I didn't expect to meet this kind of person, and after disturbing his neck with a pipe, Hu Hansan pursed his lips and said, "Yulin Army? Does the Feather Forest Army work in this kind of place? βγ
"It's not the Yulin Army, it's the Yulin Army guard captain Chen Dan! Since the thieves and thieves know the prestige of the general, they should not be tied up quickly. β
As a Yulin army dedicated to traveling with a decree, it is not the first time that Chen Dan has traveled with Qin. However, due to the North Vietnamese State's consistent strategy of supporting the country by war, there were many troops stationed in various places, and Chen Dan never encountered a single robbery of the Qincha in the process of escorting the Qincha.
After all, robbing Qincha is tantamount to rebellion, as if Wan Dahu is now going to rebel, it can be seen that not everyone really dares to rebel.
When Chen Dan and Hu Hansan were "negotiating", Xu Lin had already gotten out of the sedan chair, found Meng Chang and asked, "Master Meng, what the hell is going on." β
Hearing that the Huiyin Mountain Hulu actually asked to hand him over, Meng Chang didn't dare to get out of the sedan chair at all, and hid in the sedan chair with a pale face and shouted: "Lord Xu, these Huiyin Mountain Hulu are obviously going to attack the imperial court, what do you want to ask this official to do?" With this free time, Lord Xu didn't hurry up and ask Chen Dan to exterminate the bandits. β
"Exterminate the bandits? There are thousands of them! β
"What about thousands? Could it be that Lord Xu has not heard of the notoriety of killing people and eating meat in Huiyin Mountain in Shenzhou City. β
"This ......"
Although he always felt that things were a little strange, Xu Lin could also see that Meng Chang must be hiding something from him. But no matter what Meng Chang hid, Meng Chang always said one thing right, that is, as early as when he was in Shenzhou City, Xu Lin had heard a lot of rumors about Hulu in Huiyin Mountain.
Although he was still a little timid in his heart, Xu Lin was also ready to ask Bai Lu before the other party really started.
After all, not to mention that Xu Lin is just a civil official, just talking about the comparison of the numbers of the two sides, Xu Lin doesn't think that the Hulu of Huiyin Mountain really fights, and Chen Dan and Bai Lu can really keep the entire Qincha ......team.
