Chapter 32: Meeting [New Books for Collection]
Lin Lao's words shocked him into a cold sweat.
"Lord Lin, there is no evidence for speculation." Wuming frowned, "Especially when it comes to things between countries, there is no room for sloppiness." ”
Lin Lao's words changed sharply, and he no longer insisted: "Your Highness, the old man came this time, and there is one more thing to ask for." ”
"Lord Lin, just say it."
While speaking, Lin Lao knelt on his knees, bowed to the ground and said: "Now that the war is continuous, the people are miserable, it can be described as internal and external troubles, for the sake of the common people in the world, please Your Highness also go down the mountain with the old man." ”
This is the question that Ignorance has been running away from, and he looks at him with a blank face. "Lord Lin, the person standing in front of you is a monk of ignorance. Your Highness has long since been deposed, and he is nothing but a waste in the eyes of the world. Back then, he was deeply guilty, watching his loyal ministers being killed but helpless, and now he is living in the world, what qualifications do he have to talk about the world? Treat him as if he's dead, and go down the mountain early! ”
"Shangguan Yu, you have the blood of the first emperor flowing in your body!" Lin Lao, who was kneeling on the ground, was already in tears, "The monarch of the previous dynasty was faint and brutally persecuted the people. In order to save the people from fire and water, your ancestor Shangguan Camp stepped forward, fought all his life, and was bruised all over his body, so that he could fight for a stable life and a peaceful and prosperous world. How can you, as his descendants, not preserve this peace? Do you want to let the traitors take charge, the country will be shaky, and the family and country will mourn? ”
There was no need for Lin Lao to remind him, his heart was dripping blood all the time.
For so many years, he had nightmares every night, and his bloody head came to him to cry out about his grievances, if it weren't for Master Wuwu to clear his heart for him, he would have died of madness.
"Lord Lin, please get up quickly." He stepped forward and helped him up, "You must be unable to bear it if you travel overnight, so rest in the temple for a few days, and then we will discuss it after I have sorted out the ins and outs of the whole matter." ”
"Your Highness, it was the old man who trespassed and was willing to be punished." Lin Lao said, "As long as His Royal Highness agrees to go down the mountain, the old man can be regarded as doing a good deed for the people of the world and dying well." ”
"Lord Lin, if you die, who will serve the court in the future?" Ignorance coaxed.
"This ...... This is my eldest son of the emperor," Boss Lin was overjoyed, "My old bones have always been loyal to His Royal Highness." ”
"I ......," he turned his head to one side, his eyes reddened, and he swallowed back the words that came to his lips. Lord Lin, please come here, I'll take you to rest. ”
He remembered what Liu Su had said a few days ago, which had not attracted his attention at the time, and now it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Okay." Lin Lao smiled and followed him out, the courtyard was silent, the air in the mountains smelled with the fragrance of earth and grass, with the first golden light, a new day began.
"Lord Lin, you can rest first, and I'll bring you food at lunch." Ignorance said.
"I can't do it." Lin Lao's emotions were a little excited, "With all due respect, you are tormenting the old man, you must not." ”
Ignorance didn't say much, just smiled and left.
He hadn't taken two steps before he suddenly took a light leap and flew onto the roof. "What's wrong?"
It turned out that there was a young woman wearing a gauze dress on it, with a green silk shawl, skin like condensation, and apricot eyes.
"Your Highness, the 'Thousand Feet Shop' was seized by the government last night, and there was a conflict between the two sides, and the little guys with suspicious identities in the restaurant would rather die than give in, and most of them have died in battle."
"I already knew about it, I didn't expect it to come to this point." He was silent for a moment, then said to her, "Is there any other news?" Ignorance asked.
"Even Jean did not appear in the restaurant from beginning to end, and what was surprising was that General Pang could no longer sit still, and he sent people to surround the county government and not allow anyone to enter or leave, as if he was plotting something unspeakable. The officials and soldiers were at a stalemate at the door, depending on the situation, something big must have happened...... "There are many people guarding the county government, and she did not break in alone to find out, and in the face of these unknown conjectures, the more she said, the more she had no confidence."
"If it's not confirmed, you don't have to say it." Ignorance looked at her coldly, and he had an almost obsessive aversion to unfounded words.
The girl looked self-reproachful, lowered her gaze in shame and did not dare to look at him, and murmured, "Yes, Your Highness." ”
Ignorance soon realized that his tone was too harsh, and hurriedly added: "The forces behind this matter are intertwined, and it is only a matter of time before your identity in the restaurant is revealed, and I can't let you go into danger alone......"
"Your Highness, I can do it! I know Lian Jean, and only I can catch him! ”
"No, you can't go back!" Ignorance walked towards her, his eyes became gentle, "You have been lurking in the restaurant all these years, and you have suffered a lot, and it is up to you to have the current harvest, so you must not act rashly now." ”
"Your Highness, once the opportunity is missed, the clue is likely to be broken."
"It doesn't matter, at this moment, the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark, keep a distance, and static braking is the best policy." Wuming took out the account book, "This is sent to me by the county order, and the person entrusted is Lin Jian, the former servant of the Criminal Department, who is Qi Shangshu's best friend before his death, and is a rare minister. From now on, you will stay with him and keep him safe. ”
This girl was originally an official eunuch, his father was the prime minister of the dynasty, and she was also a lady, but because she offended the queen's favorite brother, she was framed and sentenced to death.
Her mother, Wang, was a smart woman and did not give up on cultivating her daughter because of the collapse of her identity. During this period, she taught her daughter carefully, and Liu Ran, who was young, was familiar with poetry and books.
When she was twelve years old, she met Shangguan Yu's mother, she was very fond of her smart and clever, and gradually got the love of Shangguan Yu's mother, and became Shangguan Yu's maid, and since then she has stayed by Shangguan Yu's side, carefully served, and accompanied him to grow up.
Liu Ran's mother, Wang, died when she was fifteen years old due to her hard work in the court all the year round, the poor living environment, and the accumulation of illness.
Shangguan Yu cherished her life experience, and saw that she was smart and talented, and could not bear to be a slave all her life, so her mother came forward to ask her father to pardon her slave status and accept her as a righteous daughter.
Liu Ran is a person who knows how to be grateful and reciprocate. After Shangguan Yu was killed, she followed him without hesitation, never gave up, and has been secretly investigating the case of Qi Shangshu's betrayal of the country and collaborating with the enemy.
