Chapter 340: I Expected It's Expected
Li Lin swore as if he could make decisions for the king.
Xiao Man silently weighed it in his heart, looked Li Lin up and down with his eyes, and after hesitating repeatedly, he still decided to say this matter.
She pondered her vocabulary and tried to briefly describe what happened to her and Huali, but she did not say whose name was written on Mrs. He's note.
After speaking, Li Lin fell into deep thought, and Xiao Man added: "There are people in the city who want to block Holley's business, although they haven't done anything to me and Lu Li so far, but I believe that as things go more and more smoothly as we go well, they will stop them one by one." ”
After speaking, Xiao Man got up and walked down, walked in front of Li Lin, and with a little nervousness, plucked up the courage to ask, "Do you know who this person is?" ”
"You already know who this person is?" Li Lin raised his head suddenly, frowned and asked.
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to know the inside story, Xiao Mancai said, "King Rong." ”
Li Lin nodded when he heard this, then walked to the side and sat down with his chin in his hand, bowed his head slightly and did not speak again.
Xiao Man was obviously shocked by such a reaction, she stepped forward a few steps and said again: "Isn't King Rong the most trusted by the king?" You're not surprised at all that he did such a thing? Or do you not believe what I say? ”
Compared with Holley, Li Lin's reaction was indeed too calm, calm and unwavering, as if he had known all this for a long time.
"Don't argue yet, let me get together the whole story." Li Lin waved his hand and did not respond positively to Xiao Man's question.
Even though Xiao Man's heart was curious, he could only sit down first, frowning and anxiously waiting for the other party, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Li Lin was anxious to alienate King Rong's network, thinking about his friendship with General Cha.
You must know that although Li Lin is named the commander of the king's guards, in fact, his relationship with the king is still very good, and when the king went to Donglan before, he also ordered him to secretly monitor the movements of the court, so Li Lin is still very familiar with the affairs of the court.
Now that Xiao Man has been blocked, Xiao Man, a Donglan person, can find out General Cha from it, and Li Lin can of course think of General Cha Liangcha who is in charge of the mutual market for the first time.
In Li Lin's impression, this Cha Liang is in charge of the mutual market, which is the most profitable official position, so he has always been low-key, and rarely has dealings with important ministers in the court, of course, not to mention King Rong, who is quite favored by the king and has attracted much attention in Bei'an City, when did these two people get involved?
Could it be that the last time the king sent Donglan, this King Rong's greeting post was handed to Chaliang's mansion, and the two had a connection?
Now that King Rong is making a move for Cha Liang, is it to show his determination to the other party, or have the two been in contact for a long time, but it is only now revealed......
Li Lin frowned, unable to find an answer for a while, after all, before this, no one had ever doubted the relationship between King Rong and Cha Liang.
"Master Li?" Xiaoman waited for a long time, but never waited for the other party's answer, and she couldn't help but call the other party again.
"County Lord." Li Lin's gaze fell back on Xiao Man, got up and said solemnly: "I'm going to the palace, you go back to the mansion first, remember, don't tell anyone that you have been to my mansion, you should pay more attention these days." Don't let anyone ruin your efforts. ”
After speaking, Li Lin got up and was about to go out, his steps were hurried, obviously to go out.
Seeing this, Xiao Man hurriedly caught up, "Master Li! Are you going to the palace? ”
Hua Li went out by himself, and he didn't know if he had finished doing what he had explained at this time, although he looked at Li Lin on his side, but if the two of them collided together, wouldn't it be equivalent to exposing his mind in front of Li Lin.
"I do have to go to the palace." Li Lin stopped and turned to look at Xiao Man, "While no one has found out yet, the county lord should go back." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Man trotted to the other party, and said with some embarrassment: "I came by carriage, I want no one to find out, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
She could understand that the other party didn't want people to know that she had come to the Commander's Mansion, probably because she was afraid that someone would find out that she already knew that King Rong was the mastermind behind the scenes, so she asked her to go back quickly and return to the County Lord's Mansion to ensure her safety.
But she was in a hurry to go out at the beginning, = she didn't take this factor into account, and now she can't help but regret it a little when she thinks about it.
"Forget it, whether you are found or not, you better go back first, I have something important to go to the palace now." Li Lin didn't have time to think about it, so he had to arrange for the other party to go back first.
Xiao Man nodded, looking at the sweat beads on the other party's anxious head, and couldn't help suppressing a large number of questions in his heart, "Then I'll go first." ”
Li Lin walked out of the Commander's Mansion first, Xiao Man looked left and right, and after noticing that no one saw him, he walked quickly to the carriage and told the coachman to go back to the house. On the way, Xiaoman lifted the curtain on the carriage from time to time to look left and right, for fear that someone would notice him.
Fortunately, until he returned to the county lord's mansion, Xiao Man didn't notice that there were suspicious people on the side of the road paying attention to him.
After returning to the county lord's mansion, Xiao Man thought about what Li Lin said to himself, and he was always at ease, so he couldn't help but go to the greenhouse again, and after making sure that everything was fine, he still summoned the secret guards and asked them to take care of them day and night, so as not to let anyone do anything about it.
After arranging the greenhouse, Xiao Man went to the study to write a letter, described the whole story in detail, and asked the other party to pay attention to safety.
The secret guard received the letter, quickly disappeared into the county lord's mansion, and hurried all the way towards the suburbs.
When he arrived at Lu Li's residence in the suburbs, Lu Li was feeding the chickens in the garden, and when he saw the secret guard handing over the envelope with a serious face, he raised his eyebrows, handed the things in his hand to Xiao Qi on the side, and asked, "Is there something wrong in the city?" ”
The secret guard was only responsible for protecting the safety of the county lord's mansion, and he didn't know what happened today, so he had to say: "I don't know, it's just that when I received the letter, I saw Madame's solemn expression." ”
As he spoke, Lu Li had already opened the envelope.
Lu Li, who was still smiling faintly, became more and more solemn the more he looked at it, and it was not until after reading it and understanding the whole story that he sighed and sighed: "It seems that this Canglan is not a paradise, this Bei'an city is not as safe as going to Beijing." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Qi and the secret guard who sent the letter glanced at each other, and then said curiously: "Master, but something happened in the city?" ”
"It's fine, but it's going to be soon." Lu Li folded the letter and stuffed it into his arms, squatted down and continued to feed.
Canglan has a pitiful lack of food, so Lu Li can only go to the mountains every day to find wild fruits, wild seeds, and some wild grasses that grow in this season, so that these hares and pheasants can be fed, so that they can reproduce the next generation as soon as possible.
The secret guard who came to deliver the letter on the side was a little at a loss, and seeing that he couldn't help much, he said, "Master, then I'll go back first, do you need me to bring a message back?" ”
"Tell Xiaoman, I'll be careful, let her rest assured, just take care of herself, I'll go back in a few days." After speaking, Lu Li also finished feeding the chickens and rabbits, he got up and patted the secret guard's shoulder, and instructed: "Protect Xiaoman, protect the safety of the county lord's mansion, remember, don't let suspicious characters enter and leave the county lord's mansion during this time." ”
"Yes! Subordinates obey! ”
The secret guard received the order, arched his hand, turned to take his leave, and hurried in the direction of the city with light skill, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Qi, who stayed in place, looked at the other party's distant back for a while, then retracted his gaze and said curiously: "Master, what is going to happen in the city?" What did Madame's letter just say? ”
Xiao Qi is the youngest of all the secret guards, and he is a little naughty on weekdays, but he has never acted without authorization, and he has never caused trouble, so in the face of Xiao Qi's naughtiness, Lu Li has been turning a blind eye for a long time and not delving into it.
Faced with Xiao Qi's doubts, Lu Li sighed and told the other party exactly what Xiao Man said in the letter, and at the end, he said: "It seems that this King Rong is about to be unlucky." ”
Xiao Qi nodded thoughtfully and said, "Master, you said that this king loves King Rong so much, so why does King Rong do this?" Isn't it good to just be an idle prince? ”
Hearing this, Lu Li looked at Xiao Qi with a smile sideways, and couldn't help but knock on the other party's head, "It would be good if King Rong thought like you, and he wouldn't make so many troubles, but what about it, King Rong wants more and higher rights and status, after all, not everyone can resist the temptation of the throne." ”
He also served in the Donglan Imperial Court back then, how could he not know the real purpose of King Rong's doing, but now he is in the vicissitudes, what King Rong wants to do has nothing to do with him, as long as his family can be safe, then Lu Li will be content.
As for other things, that's what King Canglan should worry about.
Thinking of this, Lu Li couldn't help but say solemnly: "Order, from tonight onwards, there will be two more people guarding the garden at night, and the guards during the day must not be slackened in the slightest." This time, it's not just about guarding against the villagers, let them all have snacks. ”
Xiao Qi stood up and replied: "Yes!" I'll tell them right away! ”
"Alright, it's not too early, it's time to go back to cooking." Lu Li patted the soil on his body and said.
Xiao Qi hurriedly followed, and flattered: "Master, what are you going to eat tonight?" I had already digested the food I had eaten at noon, and now I am going to starve to death. ”、
Lu Li chuckled lightly and said, "You think about eating all day long, when can you be more grateful for your martial arts?" You lost to Xiao Wu again in the last competition, right? Even if they are older than you, they have been practicing martial arts for a shorter time than you, so how can you protect my safety if this continues? ”
