Chapter 44: Encounter (1)

"Prepare the car, I'm going to go out." Gu Beicheng put on a hat.

Li Zhen put down the cup in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Gu Beicheng: "Where is the son going?" ”

"Lin Mansion."

"It just so happened that I sent the news out by the way and told the national teacher that we had arrived in the Southern Jin Dynasty." General Li Zhen said, arched his hand and said, "Son, wait a minute." ”

Gu Beicheng's carriage stopped at the mouth of a small alley diagonally opposite the Lin Mansion, and he sat in the car and lifted the curtain on the window of the car to a corner.

At the gate of the Lin Mansion, a few housekeepers were carrying ladders to remove the white silk on the door, and after a while, a few maids came out and collected the spirit flags.

"Childe is waiting in the car, I'll go back when I go." General Li Zhen got out of the car and walked towards the small vendor next to the Lin Mansion.

He came to a stall selling masks, took down a smiling one, and asked, "Boss, how much does this mask cost?" ”

"Wuwen."

"By the way, do you know what's going on in General Lin's Mansion?" Li Zhen asked as he slowly pulled the coins out of his purse.

The peddler approached him and replied, "I know at a glance that you have come back from out of town, and the general's wife has died, and she was out of the funeral yesterday." The peddler sighed and continued, "You may not know that General Lin Song was almost beheaded the day before yesterday!" ”

"Beheaded? Really? Li Zhen put on a very curious and gossipy look.

The peddler looked left and right, leaned into his ear and said, "No, I heard that everyone has gone to Xingtai, and suddenly the holy decree came, and he was pardoned again!" ”

"And this?" After listening to this, Li Zhen took out more five cents and handed it to the vendor, and asked: "Do you know why he was beheaded?" ”

"It was said that he let go of the Beili proton, and suspected that he was collaborating with the enemy and treason." The peddler replied as he counted the copper coins in his hand.

Li Zhen patted the peddler on the shoulder, "Thank you!" He picked up his mask and turned back to the carriage.

Gu Beicheng looked at Li Zhen, then at the mask in his hand, and asked, "How?" ”

"Here, on!" Li Zhen gently threw the mask to Gu Beicheng, "Because Lin Song secretly released his son, he was almost beheaded, and Mrs. Lin went to the funeral yesterday." ”

Gu Beicheng asked anxiously, "What did you say?" Beheading? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I said that I was pardoned by Nan Xiao later." General Li Zhen was very anxious when he looked at Beicheng, and hurriedly explained to him.

Gu Beicheng thought for a moment and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Then, how is Miss Lin's situation now?" ”

"I don't know, I didn't ask." Li Zhen looked at Gu Beicheng suspiciously, and asked curiously, "Are you...... Didn't you want to inquire about General Lin? ”

Gu Beicheng suddenly felt that his cheeks were slightly hot, and he put on a mask casually, for fear that Li Zhen would see that he was different, although his heartbeat was a little fast, but with a mask to cover it, he still looked very calm.

"Curious, just ask." Gu Beicheng replied lightly, and after speaking, he lifted the curtain again.

A gorgeous chariot stopped at the gate of the Lin Mansion, attracting Gu Beicheng's attention, and he saw a familiar face coming out of the carriage, this person was the person who fired arrows at him on the battlefield that day, and the person who killed his monarch's father!

"Who is this man?" Gu Beicheng stared at Nan Jinyan sharply, and asked Li Zhen coldly.

Li Zhen leaned over, followed Gu Beicheng's gaze, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, he is Nan Jinyan, the third prince of Beili." ”

"Nan Jinyan!" Gu Beicheng got up and was about to get out of the carriage, but was pulled by Li Zhen.

"Childe, where are you going?" Li Zhen knew that Gu Beicheng recognized Nan Jinyan, but now was not the time, "Don't be impulsive!" ”

Gu Beicheng shook off Li Zhen's hand and said calmly: "Don't worry, I'll just go in and have a look, and I won't do anything." Then he jumped out of the carriage and ran.

Li Zhen slapped his thigh, didn't hold it and let Gu Beicheng slip away, didn't do anything, who did he lie? He hurriedly followed.

Gu Beicheng had lived in the Lin Mansion for a while, and he was familiar with this place, so he quietly detoured to the backyard of Miao Lin Mansion and jumped upward...... I didn't jump, but I was grabbed by the shoulder.

"Come back with me!" Li Zhen pulled Gu Beicheng's arm back.

Gu Beicheng wrapped his arm outward, Li Zhen hurriedly grabbed it with his other hand, and Gu Beicheng blocked him with his other arm, Li Zhen dragged him forward, Gu Beicheng quickly turned around and squatted down, leaned back, escaped from under Li Zhen's crotch, turned over, and jumped into the backyard.

This life-saving escape technique was not taught by him, this move reveals a bit of "splashy scoundrel" feeling, but it is in line with the temperament of the national teacher! What is not good to teach, teach him to run away! Okay, right? Run!

General Li Zhen shook his head helplessly, he was also careless, he didn't expect Gu Beicheng to learn the art of escaping, "chirp ......" He whistled, and a secret guard appeared "Huh", kneeling in front of General Li Zhen with a fist and one knee.

"Protect the king! Don't miss anything! After speaking, General Li Zhen took his hand and leisurely returned to the carriage.

Gu Beicheng jumped into the backyard, flew up, got on the roof of Miaolinju, followed the roof, and cautiously came to the top of the side hall, seeing a maid carrying tea to the main hall, Gu Beicheng hurriedly knelt down.

I think this tea is for Nan Jinyan, right? With a slight leap, he quietly landed on the roof of the main hall, uncovered a piece of tiles, and prostrated himself to look down.

Nan Jinyan sat on the Taishi chair in the middle of the hall, with an entourage standing next to him, still carrying something in his hand, and Lin Song sat on the left-hand side, next to Lin Miaoyin.

"General Lin is polite." Nan Jinyan glanced at his entourage, and the man immediately put the things in his hand on the table, "I don't have anything else to do today, just to see how the general's body is recovering?" Nan Jinyan gently pushed the things on the table, "This is a little gift that Jinyan has prepared for you, and I hope the general will accept it with a smile!" ”

Lin Song and Lin Miaoyin hurriedly got up, thanked and saluted, General Lin Song said: "I am a criminal minister, Your Highness is grateful to intercede for me to save my life, how can I let His Highness break the bank?" He lowered his head and said a little dejectedly: "I am really ashamed!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to visit my father!" Lin Miaoyin stood up and saluted.

Nan Jinyan stepped in front of her in two steps, reached out to shake Lin Miaoyin's hand, she pinched the handkerchief and shrank back slightly.

Gu Beicheng lay on the roof and watched, gritting his back molars, his hands involuntarily clenched into fists, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

Nan Jinyan turned to hold Lin Miaoyin's arm, looked at Lin Miaoyin tenderly and said softly: "We already have a marriage contract, so there is no need to be so polite." ”

What the? Engagement? It turned out that she and Nan Jinyan actually had a marriage contract, in that case, why did she give him a sachet? She, like everyone else in the Southern Jin Dynasty, was she playing tricks on him? Gu Beicheng's heart was like a knife, and he was instantly confused, and he didn't pay attention for a while, and his toes touched a piece of tiles, making a sound.

"Who?" Lin Song yelled, came out of the main hall, looked at the roof, and Lin Miaoyin and Nan Jinyan also followed.

There was nothing on the roof, but a few pigeons stood on it, "cooing ......".
