Zhong Ruying closed the letter, thought for a while, and said: "Let our people retreat two miles, quell the war as soon as possible, and I will enter Beijing to congratulate Your Majesty on his birthday." [with _ dream]ā"

"General!" The adjutant general glared and said, "Do you want to wait for the saint's birthday to pass before entering Beijing?" Isn't it okay to go to Beijing to settle accounts when he celebrates his old man's birthday? ”

Zhong Ruying glared at him and said, "What nonsense, I want to enter Beijing to congratulate Your Majesty on his birthday." ”

The deputy general doesn't believe it, you obviously look like you want to go to Beijing to settle accounts.

Zhong Ruying ignored him, waved him back, and then found his henchmen and asked, "What happened to the descendants of the Lin family and the Lu family?" ”

"One of them is missing, but the subordinates are not in a hurry at all when they see them, and they seem to know where he is. As for them, they are almost in the capital now. ”

"However," the henchman hesitated, "the movement they made along the road was too big, attracting a lot of attention, and there were many assassins sent out there, and they had the posture of leaving people outside the capital." ”

Zhong Ruying sneered: "Let our people escort them into Beijing as soon as possible, now that the war between Liang and Chu is deadlocked, the previous accounts should also be settled." ”

"General, Lu Lin is a famous family, if any of them die on the way......"

Zhong Ruying glared at him and warned: "Shorten my hands, if you let me know that your hands and feet are not clean......"

The henchman lowered his head, "Yes, my subordinates must let someone escort them into Beijing safely." ”

Zhong Ruying's face softened a little, "These famous families are not vegetarians, not to mention that Lord Lin already knows the truth, do you think Lin You died in the middle of the way, will she doubt it?" Our county lord's blood is not weaker than mine, which annoys her, not only you and me, but also the entire Zhong family army. ”

The henchmen didn't believe that there were women in this world who were more powerful than their generals, but they thought that most of the rice and grain eaten by the three armies now were sent by Lord Lin, so they swallowed silently.

In fact, he was thinking about releasing water to those assassins, if he accidentally killed the son of the Lu family, it would explode in the future, and there would be something good-looking over there.

However, looking at the general's appearance, he obviously didn't want to, so he didn't dare to mention it again.

Zhong Ruying gave an order here, and the people who had been secretly keeping an eye on Lin You and them took action to stop the assassin who was tracking behind, and Lin You and they suddenly felt a great reduction in pressure, and rushed away in the direction of the capital.

A day later, they could only get rid of the pursuers by detouring, and they saw the high walls of the capital, and the three of them burst into tears, suppressing the fierce emotions and queuing process.

But because their deeds were too suspicious—their clothes were ragged, their eyes were full of tears, they even smelled of blood, and the most important thing was that although they had a lot of tan, they could still see the appearance of a noble son.

Because the emperor's birthday was approaching, the guards who were under high martial law in the capital checked them again and again, so they found two knives, three short knives and a number of hidden weapons from them.

And they don't have proof of identity.

The guards stared at them silently, their faces becoming more and more serious.

Lin You and the three of them fell in a cold sweat, thinking that they wouldn't be stuck here, and they would all be killed when they arrived in the capital, right?

Seeing their frightened looks, the guards became even more martial law.

Even Xu Jin, who had been standing silently behind Lin You and pretending not to exist, straightened his back, and at this moment, a pleasant and crisp voice like a yellow bird hesitated and shouted, "Brother You? ”

Lin You turned his head with a "sigh", and then saw a carriage parked on the side of the east gate, with the Lin family's family emblem printed on it, and a small head was sticking out from it with wide eyes, with a surprised expression.

Lin You's tears fell suddenly, and he choked up: "Sister Yubin! ”

Lu Li and Lu Rui, whose hearts jumped to their throats, couldn't help crying, and ran over to grab the carriage before him, "Sister Lin, you came just in time, our guide and others have been lost, and you can't prove your identity, I don't know if Aunt Lin is not there, whether you want to give us a guarantee." ”

At this time, the two of them were not polite, and a sister was affectionate.

Lin Yubin lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, his eyes swept over the three of them, and said, "Auntie is in the county lord's mansion, you, how did you become like this, do you know that my aunt has tried her best to find you in the past month." ”

Lin You wiped away his tears embarrassedly and said, "There are too many things, I can't tell you for a while, sister, let's go home first." ”

Lin Yubin looked at the guard, and the guard bowed down without waiting for her to ask: "Since it is someone who is known to the county lord of Lin, it is probably no problem, but you also have to register your identity, and tomorrow you have to call the guarantor to go to the yamen as a guarantor, and then make up a road guide." ”

Lin Yubin smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will definitely do it tomorrow, and I will bother you today." ”

Lin Yubin glanced at Ying Yan, Ying Yan and the other party cleverly stuffed a purse, the guards touched it, the smile on their faces deepened, and returned their weapons to them, "It stands to reason that you can't take these things, but since the county lord of Lin recognizes you, those sons should also be from famous families, so it won't hinder them." ”

Lin You and the others got their weapons back, and they were about to climb into the carriage with Lin Yubin.

The carriage parked on the side finally couldn't help but open the curtain, looked at her curiously and asked, "County Lord Lin, is this your missing cousin?" Did they come back safely? ”

The joy on Lin Yubin's face faded slightly, and he nodded: "Exactly, I'm going to take my brothers back to see my aunt, I won't go out with you today, you can go out to play by yourself." ”

The girls in the carriage were a little disappointed, but they also understood, after all, the cousin who had been missing all along, had returned, and this was indeed a big deal.

They were no longer reluctant, and watched the Lin family's carriage leave, and then several girls looked at each other and said, "Why don't we go back too, my father told my mother last night, I'm afraid that the Lin family and the Lu family will have a funeral again, and several ministers in the court and the central government will be held accountable." ”

The girls thought about it and thought that they could play whenever they wanted, but this first-hand news was not so easy to get, so they all turned around happily.

Lin Yubin sat on it, looked at this, looked at that, and couldn't help asking, "Brother You, why is it only you, Brother Lu Yu?" ”

The three of them were stunned and asked, "Isn't there any news from Lu Yu yet?" ”

Lin Yubin shook his head, "No, not only my aunt, but the Lu family also sent a lot of people to look for you, but whenever there are some traces, you are gone when you look for them." Isn't Brother Lu Yu with you? ”

The three of them turned pale slightly, and they couldn't help but worry after looking at each other, Lu Yu only had a guard, he wouldn't be discovered by the assassins and catch up, right?

The three of them were taken back to the county lord's mansion by Lin Yubin, and the first thing Lin Qingwan saw when she saw them was to ask, "Where is Lu Yu?" ”

The three young men hung their heads, and tears fell down, and they didn't know it.

Lin Qingwan frowned, waved her hand, and said, "Go wash up first, and let the doctor show you." ”

Lin You knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed in shame and said, "Auntie, our guide and the Wenjie family form for participating in the Jinshi Department have also been lost. ”

"It's good to come back alive," Lin Qingwan stretched out her hand to help the person up, and said helplessly: "Let's go wash first, and then talk after seeing the doctor." ”

Lu Li and Lu Rui followed Lin You to the backyard with full of worries, and they didn't wash separately, so they put the bath tubs in Lin You's guest room, squeezed in and said to him, "Can you ask Lord Lin to help find Cousin Yu?" ”

Lu Yu is the leader of their generation, if something happens to him, then the Lu family will suffer a heavy loss, and even they will be questioned by the clan.

Lin You bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, I will mention it." ”

The three of them hurriedly took a bath with a stomach full of worries, and after checking Dr. Xu's pulse, they hurriedly ran to find Lin Qingwan.

Lin Qingwan prepared a table of dishes for them, and when she saw them coming, she pointed to the table and said, "Eat!" ”

The three of them swallowed the words to their lips and sat down to eat in silence.

Quickly filling her stomach, Lin Qingwan asked, "Lu Yu went to Lingzhou?" ”

The three of them nodded one after another, "yes, yes, how do you know?" ”

"Guess," Lin Qingwan glanced at them and asked, "How did he go?" ”

Lin You carefully explained the situation at the time, and said: "We left quickly after we spread the letter, and I don't know if the news came out, but there are indeed more and more people chasing and killing us, and the closer we are to the capital, the more people on the other side, we dare not enter the city, we can only run around the capital." ”

As a secret guard, Xu Jin's intuition is still very accurate, two days ago he said that the number of people chasing behind him has decreased, and yesterday he directly took them to the capital to rush, and today he was able to touch the city gate safely.

There are so many surprises, they still think that this kind of chase and escape game will continue for a long time.

By this time, they were already physically and mentally exhausted, and if it weren't for the encouragement of each other, they would have had to run away and jump out for the assassins to slash at will.

I felt that it was better to die than to be hunted down, but I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly, so I cried in surprise when I saw Lin Yubin at the city gate.

At this time, they almost couldn't hold back their tears, and while they were happy, they were worried about Lu Yu, who didn't know where he was, "I don't know what happened to him." ”

"I will go to Lu Duhu, since Lu Yu is going to Lingzhou, it is much easier for him to find someone than us, you go and have a good rest first, and I will ask people to find Mingjie and Zhou Tong."

The three of them were stunned, "Mingjie and Zhou Tong are also there?" ”

"They are going to take this year's Jinshi exam," Lin Qingwan glanced at them and said, "Your Wenjie family certificate can also be reissued, so hurry up and prepare while the exam hasn't started yet." You don't have to worry about anything else. ”

"But Lu Yu ......"

"Don't worry, he is much more successful than you," Lin Qingwan said: "As long as he is alive, he will always find it back, and the Lin and Lu families will send people to find them, and Lingzhou will also send people, do you think you are more powerful than the three families combined?" ”

The three of them were silent.

At this time, Lu Yu, who was worried about them, was feeding the chickens in a leisurely manner, he counted the chickens, and after making sure that the number was correct, he stood up with his waist, looked at the orange sunset on the horizon and sighed: "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan, if you are here for a lifetime, it is not bad." ”

The guards who followed him were silent, and only said in a half-loud voice: "Young master, if you don't go back, the family is really going to die." ”
