Chapter 932: Tranquility
Under Fu Ling's comfort, Yueling's mood has stabilized a lot, and she is willing to take the initiative to communicate with others, but her heart is still in fear, for fear that they will give her up and fall into the hands of those wicked people.
Before Maisie came to the carriage, she said softly: "Miss Yueling, I know that I don't live with you, but I have to do many things, I hope you can forgive me, the contents of this box are all your personal belongings, since you are free, I will return it to you." The car door slowly opened, and a pair of white soft wattles stretched out to take the suitcase: "Thank you......"
They were already very close to the imperial capital, but Pu Longqi's expression was not relaxed, he began to hate the officialdom of fighting back and forth, but unfortunately he couldn't get rid of it.
Pu Longqi pointed to the southwest and said, "There is a set of my annexes there, let's go to rest tonight, and then enter the city after tidying up tomorrow." ”
Chen Lin nodded, turned around and looked behind him habitually, but saw that Maisie and her party also stopped walking.
Pu Longqi smiled: "You go and tell her, you don't have to send it anymore, there is something to talk about later." ”
Chen Lin responded with a smile, jumped off the carriage, and walked towards Maisie in front of the opposing team. He didn't have a good impression of this female slave owner, and said coldly: "My lord said, so that you don't have to send it far, if there is anything to talk about later, and besides, I don't want others to know about my lord's arrival in the imperial capital, you can do it yourself!" With that, he walked away.
Maisie looked at Chen Lin's back and felt inexplicable hatred in her heart, and said viciously: "The fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and the villain is ambitious!" ”
This annex is just one of the many mansions of Pulongqi, and when they came to the front of the annex, they had already been discovered by the samurai in charge of guarding, and when they heard the arrival of their master, twenty ironclad warriors hurriedly opened the gate and lined up to greet them, everyone was puzzled by the master's low-key return.
The warrior led by Pu Long Qixiang smiled and said, "Bo Li, this is the ink guard, you have to learn more from him in the future." One sentence has already said Chen Lin's transcendent status.
Several people went back to rest, and Bo Li personally took Chen Lin to the rear courtyard, he said respectfully: "Ink guard, this courtyard has been uninhabited, and it is cleaned every day, quiet and comfortable, you can rest here today." ”
Chen Lin smiled: "Why are you so polite, my name is cuttlefish, I am afraid that you are older than me, and you will call me Brother Mo in the future." ”
Bo Li is also a straightforward person, seeing that Chen Lin is so refreshing, he no longer continues to be polite, and said happily: "Okay, Brother Mo, I will ask someone to prepare a hot bath for you, and our brothers will have two cups of drink in the evening." ”
Having said that, when it was time to eat in the evening, Chen Lin was called by Pu Longqi to Yuebo Pavilion to eat with him, this kind of glory was not enjoyed by other warriors, and it made this group of warriors understand in their hearts that Pu Longqi valued Chen Lin.
After dinner, Pu Longqi pushed a wooden box to Chen Lin and said, "Inside is the honorarium you deserve, you can take it!" ”
Chen Lin said: "I'm not short of money, I'd better put it here first, and I'll ask you for it when I need it." He was telling the truth, and the gold and silver he had snatched from the pirates alone was enough for him to squander for a while.
Pu Longqi smiled: "If you want to take it, you can take it, it's always good to have more gold in your hand." He took out another roll of bamboo slips and said, "Cuttlefish, you enter the city with Bo Li tonight and give this letter to Master Sima Tai." ”
Chen Lin nodded and carefully took the bamboo slip.
Pu Long Qi said: "Remember, you must hand it over to Master Sima Tai in person, if he has any reply, you will come back and tell me as soon as possible." ”
Bo Li was familiar with everything in the imperial capital, and the two did not enter through the gate of Sima Mansion, but went straight to the back door.
Chen Lin was worried that Sima Tai would not see them at this time, but he didn't expect that Sima Tai would let them enter the mansion as if he knew about their coming.
Before Sima Tai's personal bodyguard Su Saya brought Chen Lin and the others into the study, he pointed to the door and said, "Which of you will go in?" ”
According to Pu Longqi's pre-entrustment, Chen Lin naturally undertook this task, and he became more and more strange in his heart, with Sima Tai's respected identity, why did he let him enter the study without being examined and meet him directly, there are probably two reasons, maybe Pu Longqi greeted him in advance, or maybe Sima Tai relied on it, and he was not afraid that outsiders would be unfavorable to him at all, presumably the latter was more likely.
Sima Tai sat under the light, flickering and flickering, making his expression even more unpredictable.
After Chen Lin respectfully greeted, he handed over the bamboo slips that Pu Longqi had asked him to bring into Sima Tai's hands.
Sima Tai looked at it for a long time and said in a low voice, "Master Pu has arrived safely?" ”
Without waiting for Chen Lin to answer, he said again: "Since you are back, why don't you come to see me?" ”
Chen Lin was neither humble nor arrogant: "Master Pu is tired from the journey, and a lot of things have happened on the way, so I want to take a rest first." ”
Sima Tai raised his head and glanced at Chen Lin and said, "You seem to be here for the first time!" ”
Chen Lin said indifferently: "It's rare for adults to trust me!" ”
Sima Tai smiled and said, "Yes, having a warrior like you by Lord Pu's side is enough to prove that his vision is not old." He closed the bamboo slip and said, "How about going to Crystal City this time?" ”
Chen Lin was stunned in his heart, but his expression was like an ancient well, Sima Tai's question seemed simple, but it was actually difficult to answer. Whether or not there was any mention of this situation in the letter that Pu Longqi wrote to him, firstly, Chen Lin did not know the specific situation of Pu Longqi in Crystal City, and secondly, he knew that he could not tell Sima Tai all about it, he smiled and said: "Master Pu is strict with us, and his important affairs are never allowed for us to ask. ”
Sima Tai nodded appreciatively, and said loudly: "Susaya, reward them!" ”
"What did he say?" Pu Longqi asked the details of the way clearly, Chen Lin's mind was very clear, and he remembered every detail in Sima's Mansion clearly.
After listening to Chen Lin's words, Pu Longqi's face showed a solemn expression, and he sighed softly and said, "Cuttlefish, you go and rest, don't tell anyone about today's events." ”
Chen Lin nodded, turned around and walked out the door.
Bo Li had been waiting outside the door, and when he saw Chen Lin coming out, he grabbed his wrist and said, "Brother Mo, go, I'll invite you to drink." Chen Lin was extremely generous, and gave him all the rewards from Sima Tai just now, and Bo Li had a great impression of him.
Chen Lin didn't have anything to do anyway, so he came to the backyard with Bo Li, where three guards had already set up wine and food and waited.
Everyone warmly invited Chen Lin into the banquet, and Bo Li said: "Tonight, we are celebrating the acquaintance of such a righteous brother, and the second is for Brother Mo who has traveled a long distance to pick up the wind and wash the dust." Come! Cheers! ”。
They are all men with a straightforward temperament, and they take up the wine bowl and drink it all.
Chen Lin said happily: "Thank you brothers for treating me so warmly, when I settle down, I will definitely invite my brothers." ”
