Chapter 282: Frontier War
"By the way, why did you two come together?" Wei Yun suddenly thought of it, and raised his head to look at Lin Mo, his fingers hooking a strand of his black hair.
The tone was worried: "Now that the family is full of ministers, there are many people, so you don't worry about being seen?" In case someone speculates ......"
"Don't worry." Lin Mo's eyes were soothing, and he said comfortingly: "It is precisely because there are many people that it is more convenient to hide, because everyone may have a relationship with another person who is completely unrelated, as long as they don't admit it." By the way, I heard that the emperor and the crown prince have come, what are they asking you for? What's the strange move? ”
There was a faint concern hidden in the man's words, but deep in those dark eyes was a bottomless abyss.
When Wei Yun faced him, he had never concealed anything, and told the matter as it was, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, and said sarcastically: "I really don't know how their skin is so thick, there is no sense of guilt, and I almost fought with them regardless of the appearance of righteousness." ”
Lin Mo subconsciously grabbed Wei Yun, his body tensed: "Yun'er, think about your third uncle, second uncle, Xiaobao, and ...... I, don't be impulsive. ”
"I know." Wei Yun suppressed the hatred and anger in his heart, and held his big hand with his backhand, and the warm feeling came from the palm of his hand and spread to his heart.
Warm.
She knows.
She also cherishes all her relatives now, so she will be patient, restrained, and plot a little bit, until those who claim to have everything under control will pay the price they deserve.
The third prince looked at this, looked at that, opened the fan with a brush, half-covered his face, and said jokingly: "Lin Mo, you still said that Wei Xiaoniang, just now you know that when your father and the crown prince came to the Wei Mansion, that complexion, tsk, is really wonderful, this prince is the first time to see such an anxious Lin Gongzi." ”
He looked at Wei Yun again and quipped: "If something really happens to the little lady, this one may slaughter the palace for you and stain the world with blood." ”
After he beat the stubble like this, the originally tense atmosphere eased a lot.
Wei Yun didn't want to pay attention to him, her head rested on Lin Mo's shoulder, and she said coquettishly: "I'm a little sleepy and want to sleep." ”
Lin Mo ignored the three princes who were watching the excitement, picked Wei Yun up by the waist, and sent him into the bedroom.
The third prince who was hung out shook his head helplessly, alas, why didn't anyone believe what he said, was he so unrealistic?
After about a quarter of an hour, Lin Mo came out of the inner room, sat down opposite the third prince, and poured himself a cup of warm tea.
The third prince raised his eyebrows and looked at him, laughing in a ridiculous manner, extremely improper: "Coaxed people to sleep? Or, tired and asleep? ”
His tone was so careless that Lin Mo didn't lift his eyelids, took a sip lightly, and directly began to get down to business: "Third Highness, I will leave for a while in the near future." ”
The third prince looked pale, "Huh? ”
Lin Mo put down the teacup and looked at him with a serious expression: "Now, there are my people in the six departments, no matter which position, high or low, there are buried people, now, I will hand them all over to His Highness." ”
The third prince's back straightened, and a pair of dark eyes stared at him tightly, "What are you going to do?" ”
Lin Mo didn't answer, "I also hope that His Royal Highness will take care of some of his inner sons when the ministers go out." ”
The third prince stared at him for a long time, slowly relaxed his body, and leaned back in the chair, "It is said that Lin Jialin Mo is less intelligent and like a god, tsk, I know, you pay attention to safety yourself." ”
Lin Mo nodded, "If there is an urgent notice, His Highness can release the red-feathered pigeons raised by the minister's family with blue ribbons on their feet." ”
"Hmm." The third prince answered lazily, his gaze moved up, and landed on the clear blue sky, his eyes a little divergent.
In recent years, the struggle within the imperial court has become more and more intense, especially the open and secret battles between several princes, gangs and factions, the emperor seems to know nothing, does not care about anything, but it seems that every prince's actions are under his control.
In the midst of his encouragement, the deaths and injuries in the past two years have been particularly serious.
And I don't know if there are people in Beijing who are colluding with foreign enemies, or if there are already Rong enemies sneaking in, the news of discord between the DPRK and China reached the Rongdi tribe, and a month ago, they suddenly gathered forces and attacked Yuncheng.
Yuncheng is on the border, and in recent years, the war has subsided, and there is no defense, so it was easily captured by the enemy, and then it took advantage of the situation to connect several cities.
By the time news of the frontier finally reached Kyoto, it was too late.
The third prince pondered the current situation and asked, "Isn't what you are going to do related to the border war?" ”
The Lin family and the Wei family have all produced great generals, and they are invincible generals who fought on the frontier, at that time, as long as they heard their names, the enemy would be terrified and defeated without a fight.
Because of their presence, the people of the frontier have spent a fairly stable time.
However, as time passed, as human beings, they could not escape life, old age, sickness and death, and the legends about them were gradually covered by the yellow sand of the border city.
As a descendant of the great general, Lin Mo has no less enthusiasm and arrogance in his bones, maybe......
He looked sideways at the taciturn man.
He sat straight, like a tall poplar tree, and whenever he looked at him, he always looked so earnest and resolute, as if nothing could interrupt his path, and nothing could change his will.
To be honest, he was really surprised that he would get married.
Sensing that he was being watched, Lin Mo raised his eyes and looked over, "Is there something wrong with the Third Highness?" ”
The third prince grinned: "Just now, this prince asked you, whether what you are going to do is related to the border war, and you have not yet answered. ”
The third prince thought that after he asked, Lin Mo would be silent, or say something casually to change the topic, however, it was not.
Lin Mo actually nodded in response, "Your Royal Highness guessed well. ”
The Third Prince: "...... You just said you wouldn't tell me. ”
Lin Mo's face was still pale and pale, "Your Highness has already guessed it, so there is no need to hide it." The war on the frontier is urgent, and it must not be delayed because of the affairs of the DPRK and China, and every night and one day, the territory may lose a point, and my grandfather once taught: Those who violate my territory will be punished even if they are far away! ”
There were no ups and downs in his tone, it was plain and bland, but it made people hear a sharp killing intent from it for no reason.
It was as if what was in front of him was not a person, but a divine weapon.
The third prince was shocked in his heart, and his impression of Lin Mo changed again.
"This prince met several generals in the palace a few days ago, and they seem to have been summoned into the palace by his father to discuss the border war." Since what Lin Mo wants to do is related to the border war, what he can do is to tell him the information he knows to minimize the possibility of him encountering danger.
After thinking about it, the third prince continued: "This prince remembers, it seems that there is Captain Wang Ming, General Weiyuan, and the eldest son of General Qin who guards the frontier. ”
Lin Mo also said: "A few days ago, at the court meeting, the emperor mentioned the border war, and asked in the main hall how to react to this matter. ”
Or more explicitly, he was tempting.
He wanted to send people to the frontier to deal with the war and recover the lost territory, but he was also worried that the people he sent would gain military power and lose control.
Lin Mo raised his lower lip sarcastically, you can't have both fish and bear paws, this is a fact that everyone knows, but their Emperor His Majesty still wants to hold both sides.
The third prince knew the underlying meaning of his words, and said imperceptibly sarcastically: "I, the father, really value the right to my own sense of control, and I am too attached to that chair. ”
"The Third Highness is not attached?" Lin Mo asked suddenly, his eyes sharpened.
If it was an ordinary person, the third prince might be angry, but the one in front of him was Lin Mo, he laughed, and his laughter was clear and undisguised.
In the next second, a sword came horizontally, and Lin Mo coldly threatened: "Please also ask the Third Highness to be more restrained, Neiko is sleeping." ”
Three Princes: ......
The smile immediately stiffened, "That's it?" ”
"Neiko finally fell asleep, and asked the third prince to be compassionate." Lin Mo lightly withdrew his long sword and hung it back on his waist.
He glanced into the room and saw that there was no sound, so he sat back down again.
The corners of the third prince's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but ask: "If one day, my wife and I are caught by the enemy at the same time, who will you save?" ”
Lin Mo looked at him like a fool, and the meaning was obvious.
The third prince felt that his face could not be hung up, but he insisted on getting an answer, "Tell me who to save!" ”
The corners of Lin Mo's lips curled, "My wife and I will rescue His Highness together, Your Highness, please rest assured." ”
Even if he has a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the lord is the lord after all, and the minister is the minister after all, and some things cannot be regarded as jokes even if they are said in jokes.
The third prince was not surprised by such an answer, or rather, such an answer was the answer that Lin Mo should have.
The third prince got up, and the smile on the corner of his lips was faint, "Lin Mo, I have no intention of fighting for that position, but I want to live." ”
With that, he turned to leave.
Lin Mo didn't send it, nor did he say anything.
This is not bad between smart people, there are some things that don't have to be said clearly, both of them can understand.
Lin Mo poured himself a cup of tea and looked at the sky.
The war on the frontier is urgent, and the generals sent by the emperor before have no ink in their stomachs, and they can't take on big responsibilities.
If the emperor doesn't want to lose the country, then he will find the two of them sooner or later.
The Lin family, the Wei family, once had a family of great military exploits.
Even if prosperity is not there, as long as the names of these two families are there, as long as the descendants of these two families go to the frontier, they will have the power to inspire people, and there will be the possibility of defeating the enemy.
This is also the reason why the emperor is so jealous of the two of them.
But he only saw their strength and threat, but ignored that people like them were the most loyal and the least likely to betray.
He was looking forward to what the Emperor would feel when he knew that his people were unavailable, and finally begged for them.
