It turned out that Cixi saw that Lin Yuan had such skills, so she was worried that he was going to seize the world of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then Emperor Guangxu said: "Queen Mother, I think this Lin Yuan is an unborn genius, so it is better to give him an official position and let him lead the troops out of the customs and recover Manchuria." ”

Cixi smiled slightly and said, "It's up to the emperor to decide." ”

The two of them spoke in a very small voice, and Lin Yuan couldn't hear it, and after a while, a eunuch came over with a spring breeze on his face and said to Lin Yuan, "Congratulations to Lord Lin." ”

When Lin Yuan heard "Lord Lin", he couldn't help but be stunned, and the eunuch said: "The Holy Lord and Lafayette are happy, isn't this 'adult' a matter of time or time?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled, and the eunuch said again: "Come on, Lafayette wants to see you." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself, I forgot all those etiquettes, and there was no trouble when I went up, and I just wanted to excuse myself, only to hear the eunuch shouting: "Xuan Lin Yuan is here." ”

Everyone present looked at him, Lin Yuan had no choice but to go up, and before he could speak, the Empress Dowager Cixi said: "The mourning family heard Weng Aiqing say that you are talented and quick-witted, and I heard the emperor say that you are proficient in Western studies, I don't know how old you are this year?" How can he have such attainments. ”

Lin Yuan said: "I am twenty-eight years old this year. ”

Everyone present was shocked to see that Lin Yuan didn't kneel down in front of Cixi, and dared to call himself "I" when he spoke!

Cixi nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, young and promising!" Then he asked, "Have you ever been married?" ”

Lin Yuan said, "Not yet." ”

Everyone below couldn't help but be shocked again, and some even shouted softly, how could a man in that era not get married at the age of twenty-eight!

Cixi smiled again, turned her head and said to Guangxu: "Your Majesty, it is inconvenient for the mourning family to ask about this court war, so it is all up to the emperor." ”

Lin Yuan knew that the matter of sending troops was completed, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.

Cixi said to the eunuch: "Little Lizi, the mourning family is tired, go back." ”

Lin Yuan was shocked, he didn't expect that eunuch to be the famous Li Lianying!

Everyone waited until Cixi left first, and then began to leave. When he returned to the Forbidden City, Guangxu asked Lin Yuan to wait in a palace, and he went to discuss with the Minister of Military Aircraft what kind of official position Lin Yuan would give.

Lin Yuan was waiting, only to see Li Lianying walk in, without opening a smile, and said: "Lord Lin, the Queen Mother Lafayette Yi decreed, give you a big mansion, and after a while, I will take you to that mansion." ”

After a while, a eunuch came out and said with a smile: "Congratulations Lord Lin, the Holy Lord has made you the general of the Eastern Expedition, commanding all walks of life, and choosing a day to fight!" ”

The specific mobilization of troops and horses had to be arranged again, Lin Yuan had to follow Li Lianying to the house, which was originally built by a prince, and then the prince did not live for some reason, so it was empty, and all kinds of items in the house were readily available, and even the subordinates who were used were arranged, Li Lianying said with a smile: "The villain will go first, and there will be more interesting things in a while." ”

When Lin Yuan wanted to ask in detail, Li Lianying stopped talking and left with a smile. It was getting late, Lin Yuan informed Zhang Hua of the situation, Chen Fei and them, and stayed first.

It was already dark, and I heard someone knocking on the door outside, and a charming voice said, "Lord Lin, can I come in?" ”

Lin Yuan got up and opened the door, only to see a young girl standing at the door, her flushed face was full of shyness, she lowered her head and said, "Lafayette knows that Lord Lin is not yet married, so he specially called the slave family to serve Lord Lin." ”

Lin Yuan looked at her delicate appearance, his heart jumped a few times, and then said, "No need, you better go back." ”

When the girl heard this, her eyes suddenly burst into tears, as if two plump purple grapes were hanging with crystal dewdrops, and she said with a crying voice: "Is Lord Lin ugly for the slave family?" ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly said, "No, no, you are very good-looking." ”

The girl lowered her head, held the door with her hand, and just stood there, tears in her eyes flowing down her pretty face, Lin Yuan hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, tomorrow, you will serve me again tomorrow, okay?" ”

The girl nodded shyly and said, "Lafayette said, the slave family will be Lord Lin's person in the future, if you want to fight or kill, you can do it, the slave family is in the next room, you call the slave family, and the slave family will come." With that, he turned around and left.

Lin Yuan looked at her back and thought: "Today, Cixi looked panicked after watching me perform the bombing of the mountain, she must be afraid that I will rob the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that this little girl today is sent by her to spy on me." ”

Lin Yuan really didn't guess wrong, this girl was sent by Cixi.

Lin Yuan lay on the bed, thinking in his heart: "Although Emperor Guangxu gave me the right to lead the troops, but those soldiers were brought out by local officials, for example, Song Qing's Yi Army, which is now stationed in Beijing, this army only listens to Song Qing's words, on the surface, Song Qing will obey my command, but secretly he can do a lot of small actions, and the yang is against the yin." If I didn't have a force of my own, it would never work, and when I arrived in Tohoku, I would transfer the Ryukyu training unit. ”

Lin Yuan thought again: "The number of people in that army is still too small, I should still find a way to recruit some soldiers to develop my strength." ”

Lin Yuan fell asleep thinking about it, and he didn't know why he dreamed of Shen Wanqing.

As soon as it was dawn, Lin Yuan woke up, and he wanted to go to the Ryukyu embassy to ask how much money Zhang Hua got from the Chamber of Commerce. As soon as he opened the door and went out, he saw that the girl was standing in the yard last night, and in the early morning of winter, the cold wind gusted, and her face was red from the cold, and she stamped her feet vigorously, rubbing her hands together incessantly, and breathing at her mouth.

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "Are you waiting for me?" ”

The girl said, "The slave family has been waiting for a long time, and they have been trying to knock on the door, but they don't dare. ”

Lin Yuan said, "Wait for me? What's the matter? ”

The girl said, "The slave family made breakfast for you with their own hands, and I want the adults to taste it." ”

Lin Yuan asked in surprise: "Is it just for such a thing?" ”

The girl lowered her head and said cautiously, "The slave family can't do anything else for adults. ”

Lin Yuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "No need, I have something to do." So saying, he walked out of the city.

When the girl saw Lin Yuan walking away, she hurriedly and lightly got into Lin Yuan's house, rummaging through it carefully, hoping to find something related to Lin Yuan, but unfortunately, she didn't find anything, she clenched her fists and silently thought about her next move.

The Ryukyu Legation was very secluded, and there was not much people in the middle, and when Lin Yuan walked there, he saw two groups of people standing in the clearing, saying that it was two groups of people, but it was better to say that it was a group of people, standing facing a person.

The man crossed his arms in front of his chest, and threw large swords and pikes and spears behind him, and the man opposite him, many of them empty-handed, apparently had taken away all the weapons of the group.

Lin Yuan took a closer look and found that that person turned out to be Chen Fei, and he was facing the group and said, "I'll say it again!" You can't go to that place! ”

(Preview of the next issue: Who is this group of people that Chen Fei is facing?) Where are they going? How did Lin Yuan develop his strength? Welcome to follow)
