Volume III Chapter 551

Wei Wuji executed Chen Ping and hung his head above the city gate, but he didn't move Peng Cheng.

In this regard, the subordinates under his command were very puzzled, Peng Cheng obviously colluded with Jin Guo in private, and the evidence was conclusive, why didn't he punish him?

Hearing the questions of his subordinates, Wei Wuji smiled and said, "The main purpose of the king sending me to Surabaya is not to dismiss officials and kill people, but to consolidate the defense of Surabaya County. Although Peng Cheng has the heart to join the enemy, but now with the death of Chen Ping, the Jin State and him have formed an enmity with the sky, and now, Peng Cheng has no other way to go, in order to save his life, he can only defend Surabaya County and fight to the end with the Jin people. Instead of changing the county head, it is better to continue to keep him, at least we can rest assured now that he has no thoughts of joining the enemy!"

After he finished speaking, everyone understood what Wei Wuji meant, yes, instead of killing Peng Cheng and changing the county head, who would dare to guarantee that the new county head would definitely be more loyal than Peng Cheng? Now Peng Cheng has been forced to dare not take refuge in the Jin State anymore, and it is the best policy to continue to retain him.

Everyone nodded secretly, and they all admired Wei Wuji in their hearts for being shrewd and good at using human nature.

Jin country, Wancheng.

At this time, Wancheng had not yet learned the news that Chen Ping was killed in Tongxia, and everything seemed so calm.

Lin Haotian spent the busiest period of government affairs, and then, he was also a lot more relaxed, and his free time gradually increased.

On this day, Lin Haotian was invited by Zhang Li to play in Wancheng together.

Today, it coincides with the day of the National Festival, so the streets are also very lively. The processions of the streets are converging in the middle of the settlement, where bonfires have already been set up, and in the center of the circle a tall stump has been erected, and at the top of the stump is an eagle with wings made of straw. Despite the poor materials used to make the eagle, it is lifelike and huge, at least two meters long and seven or eight meters wide, standing high in the air. It looks like it's going to swoop down at any moment.

The eagle is the symbol of the country and a sacred object in the minds of the people of You, who believe that their ancestors are the eagles.

The people who participated in the celebration gathered in one place, and there were more than 100,000 people at the scene, and the scene was spectacular and unprecedented.

In the midst of the thousands of calls, an old man walked out of the crowd and slowly ascended to the high platform. The old man was fifty years old, and his face was full of red. I can't even find a wrinkle on my face, but my head is full of white, a typical crane boy face, he is tall, wearing a gorgeous black and red robe, and he is sanctimonious, giving people a sense of fairy style.

Behind him, there were several young men. For a woman, in her early twenties. is also wearing a long brocade robe, looking at his face, his appearance is beautiful, and with holiness, the whole person looks as if he is covered with a halo.

Lin Haotian and Zhang Li mixed in the crowd at the front. It's also more realistic.

Seeing that Lin Haotian was watching seriously, Shao Lin explained in a low voice beside him: "Son, that old man is the great uncle of You Guo, Liang Yun. ”

"Oh?" Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows, in his impression. It seems that all the ministers of You Country have been killed, but I didn't expect that the dignified uncle would come to the Jin Kingdom.

The Great Patriarch is equivalent to the High Priest, the highest clerical official in a country.

In fact, the great uncle is different from other civil and military ministers, he does not participate in the country's political and military affairs, only responsible for the country's sacrifices and celebrations, to put it bluntly, he has a noble status and is highly respected, but he does not have any actual rights, at best he is a spiritual leader.

For priests like Da Zongbo, all countries are more fearful, and Xinchiguo is no exception, when Huaiyang was slaughtered, the big and small officials in the capital of You Guo were slaughtered, but no one dared to move, which is also the reason why Liang Yun was able to hide in Jin Country safely and soundly.

Now the Youren who migrated to the Jin Kingdom no longer have a leader, and people naturally place their spiritual pins on the Great Sect Bo Liang Yun, and now, he has also become a spiritual leader through and through.

Lin Haotian continued to look at the high platform and asked, "Who is the woman behind Liang Yun?" ”

Shao Lin nodded and replied: "Gongzi guessed right, that is the eldest daughter of the Great Sect Uncle, Liang Yan, who is also recognized as the next candidate for the Great Sect Uncle." ”

"So that's ......" Lin Haotian's gaze gradually became deeper, revealing a thoughtful look.

Seeing this, Zhang Li couldn't help but pull his cuffs and asked in a low voice, "What?

Lin Haotian almost laughed, he shook his head and said, "Although this is not the case, it is not far off. ”

Zhang Li pursed her lips and asked, "What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"

Lin Haotian smiled and said, "I won't marry her, but I want to marry her to one person." ”

Zhang Li was curious: "Who is it for?"

Lin Haotian didn't answer, but asked Shao Lin with a smile: "Among the Jin ministers in the court, who else hasn't married a wife?"

Shao Lin has never been a gossip person, and he has no interest in who marries a wife and who doesn't, and Lin Haotian really stopped the two of them.

After thinking for a long time, Shao Lin had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said: "By the way, Gongzi, I heard that Lord Peng only has a concubine room, and he also praises the lack of a main room. ”

When Lin Haotian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said happily: "And this is really a godsend!

Zhang Li had a good time with this special celebration, and it wasn't until she was almost over that Lin Hao sent her to the house.

The next day, at noon, Lin Haotian had just had lunch, and someone reported to him that a palace maid from the palace asked to see him.

Lin Haotian secretly wondered, what did the palace send people to do? He raised his head and said, "Bring the palace maid in!"

"Yes, my lord!" the servant agreed, and walked out quickly, and in a short time, a palace maid in her early twenties walked in from outside.

Seeing this palace maid, Lin Haotian was stunned. The palace maid in front of him was very angry, Lin Haotian was also sure that he had never seen her, and after the palace maid saluted him, he asked, "Are you from the palace?"

"Yes, General Lin!" the palace maid said respectfully: "The slave is the personal maid of the queen's mother, and this time she took the liberty to come to disturb her at the order of the mother." Invite General Lin to the palace to see him. ”

After hearing this, Lin Haotian felt quite inexplicable, Queen Yang Yuyan wanted to see herself? This is really fresh enough, besides, she is a general, not a prince. Even if it's a prince, it's a little inappropriate to meet the queen in private.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "I don't know why the queen wants to see Ben Shuai?"

"Niangniang didn't explicitly indicate the slave maid, but just said that there was something important, and she must ask General Lin to come over in person. The palace maid's face was also full of confusion and incomprehension, and she couldn't understand why the queen was suddenly in a hurry to meet Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian smiled helplessly and secretly said trouble. He wanted to refuse, but he was very curious, he pondered for a moment, nodded and replied, "Okay! Ben Shuai will leave and go to the palace with you." ”

"Thank you General Lin!" the palace maid sighed, she finally fulfilled her mission and successfully invited General Lin.

The royal palace, the harem.

When Lin Haotian came to the queen's bedroom. Yang Yuyan had already arranged a wine banquet in the palace, and a table full of rich wine and food was placed.

After the meeting. Yang Yuyan changed her usual indifferent attitude, although she was not very enthusiastic, she was also very enthusiastic and greeted Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian would rather Yang Yuyan treat himself lukewarmly as usual, at least that would make him feel more at ease.

After the two of them sat down, Yang Yuyan greeted: "General Lin tastes the dishes prepared by the palace." Two of them were made by Hongu himself. ”

Lin Haotian had already eaten, but he still pretended to eat two bites, feeling that the taste was really good, and praised: "The queen's craftsmanship is really extraordinary." ”

Talking. He picked up the handkerchief, wiped the corners of his mouth, didn't eat more, and asked with a smile: "The queen invited Ben Shuai to come today, it should not just be for Ben Shuai to accompany the queen to dine together!"

His outspokenness made Yang Yuyan embarrassed, she pondered for a while, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "General Lin, this palace will give you a glass first!"

Lin Haotian stared at Yang Yuyan for a moment, then picked up the cup and said, "Niang Niang is polite." As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and carefully observed the wine in the glass, there was no peculiar smell, and there were no unusual impurities in it, thinking that it should be ordinary wine, he paused slightly, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass dry.

"If there is anything to do, please say directly, you are the queen, I am the general, and everyone is not an outsider. Lin Haotian put down the cup and looked at Yang Yuyan with a smile.

Yang Yuyan sighed softly, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and then said quietly: "This time, the palace invited General Lin to come, and there is indeed something to ask for." ”

Lin Haotian's heart moved, and he said indifferently: "Please also ask the mother to make it clear." ”

Yang Yuyan didn't have a horse to speak, waved her hand to the maids who served on the left and right, knocked them all out, and then raised her eyes to look at Shao Lin and Tonglei who were standing behind Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian understood what she meant, but he wasn't worried, Yang Yuyan was just an ordinary woman, and he wasn't afraid of what tricks she could play. He turned his head sideways and said to Shao Lin and Tong Lei: "You two are going out to wait for me!"

Hearing this, Shao Lin and Tong Lei frowned in unison.

The queen has always been very cold to adults, and even implicitly hostile, this time she invited adults to eat and drink for no reason, could it be a deception? The two did not leave, but whispered: "Your Excellency......"

"It's okay, go!" Lin Haotian saw the worries of the two, he nodded with a smile, indicating that it was okay.

Shao Lin and Tong Lei didn't dare to disobey, and they both bowed to Lin Haotian, and then slowly withdrew from the hall. At the same time as the two of them withdrew, their eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and they quietly released the technique of exploration, investigating whether there were hidden underworld warriors around the main hall.

To the relief of the two, the probe they released did not feel the presence of any underworld, which meant that there was no ambush inside or outside the main hall.

When Shao Lin and Tong Lei also withdrew from the hall, only Lin Haotian and Yang Yuyan were left in the huge space.

At this time, Yang Yuyan stood up, holding the wine glass in her hand, with light steps, and came to Lin Haotian's table.

Seeing this, Lin Haotian was stunned, and before he could react, Yang Yuyan had already knelt down, put down her wine glass, and then personally poured him a full glass of wine.

She picked up the wine glass with both hands and handed it to Lin Haotian.

The wine glass in the palace is very exquisite, made of whole jade, not big, if Lin Haotian takes the glass, he will inevitably touch Yang Yuyan's hand. To put it more seriously, it is already suspected of indecent manner.

Looking at the wine glass that Yang Yuyan handed to him, Lin Haotian didn't take it, he didn't take it, and he didn't move for a long time.

Yang Yuyan asked, "General Lin is afraid that the palace will poison the wine, and the palace can have a toast first!" As she spoke, she withdrew her wine glass. Make a gesture to drink the wine thereof.

That's the cup she used, and now the queen wants to use it, isn't this provoking right and wrong, and falling into people's mouths?

"No need!" While speaking, Lin Haotian's arm seemed to wave outward at will, Yang Yuyan didn't even see what was going on clearly, and suddenly felt a light in his hand, and the cup pinched between his fingers had magically run into Lin Haotian's palm, and his movements were so fast. But not a drop of wine was spilled in the glass. The speed with which he struck and the right amount of force he used was breathtaking.

However, Yang Yuyan reacted quickly, her face only flashed for a moment of stunned, the horse returned to normal, she picked up her cup with a soothing and elegant movement, and said with a smile to Lin Haotian: "General Lin, please!"

Now the two of them are almost close. Lin Haotian could clearly smell the faint but seductive musk fragrance of her body, and the dignified and beautiful Yang Yuyan smiled and was unbelievably beautiful. Even if Lin Haotian saw it, he couldn't help but feel a sense of ape.

His concentration is very comparable, he took a deep breath, suppressed the commotion in his heart, smiled lightly and said, "Niangniang, please!"

The two exchanged drinks again.

I don't know if it's because Yang Yuyan's attitude today is different from the past or because of her drinking, Lin Haotian always feels that she is a little different, and she seems to be more beautiful than before. It's also more appealing.

Afraid that he would really lose his sense of proportion, Lin Haotian interjected the topic and said: "What the hell is going on with Niangniang, I haven't said it yet." ”

Yang Yuyan put down her wine glass and sighed softly. said: "General Lin knows that there is a younger brother in this palace, named Yang Fan. ”

Lin Haotian thought about it seriously, and seemed to be a little impressed, but he was not sure, he nodded and asked, "But Brother Ling had an accident?"

Yang Yuyan said helplessly: "My brother is young, and his father and mother are very pampered at home, and he has always had no one in his eyes, causing trouble everywhere. In the past, his misdeeds were all petty fights, and there was no chaos, but this time, the younger brother of the palace who was not a weapon actually injured someone, and now he has been arrested and put in prison by the lieutenant's mansion, and the palace hopes to ...... General Lin can come forward to resolve this matter, there is only the youngest brother in the palace, the only male in the family, and he must not cut off the incense, and I hope that General Lin can help the palace, and the palace will never forget General Lin's kindness!"

Ah, such a big pomp and circumstance was made for this purpose.

Lin Haotian didn't know that Yang Fan was imprisoned for murder, but in his opinion, it was just a trivial matter.

Of course, this is a trivial matter in his eyes, because he is the master of the Jin army, but for the queen under the fence, if his brother has an accident, it is not a problem at all, and he can't help at all, and it is useless to even beg Zhao Yu, so he can only beg Lin Haotian to come forward.

Lin Haotian smiled slightly and said, "I don't know who Brother Ling hurts?"

Yang Yuyan said: "It is said that the other party is a wooden man who went to Yancheng to do business. Speaking of this, she showed a look of concern, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, her soft wattle pressed on the back of Lin Haotian's hand, and asked, "Because it was the wooden man who died, will things be troublesome?"

Lin Haotian remained silent, and at the same time pulled out the hand on the table without leaving a trace, and then was happy, and said: "It's a little troublesome, but it's not that it can't be resolved, as long as Niangniang's maiden family is willing to accompany some more silver, and Brother Ling promises that he will never do it again in the future, Ben Shuai can come forward to solve this matter." ”

"Really?" After Yang Yuyan heard this, she looked excited, leaned forward, and subconsciously grabbed Lin Haotian's arm, and the whole person was almost close to him.

Obviously feeling the softness of Yang Yuyan's chest, looking at her beautiful face, slightly opening her red lips that were like an orchid, Lin Haotian shivered, moved his body to the side, widened the distance between himself and Yang Yuyan, and then stood up and arched his hand and said: "The queen doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore, Ben Shuai will go to inquire about this matter and give Niangniang an explanation." After speaking, he did not stop for a moment, and turned and walked out.

Looking at Lin Haotian's back as if he was fleeing, Yang Yuyan's eyes showed a strange brilliance. knows her appearance very well, and because of this, even she has to admire Lin Haotian's characterization, and she can still be unmoved in this situation, which is really very comparable.

Lin Haotian took Shao Lin and Tonglei out of the harem, and muttered as he walked outside the palace: "Strange ......"

Shao Lin and Tong Lei were puzzled and asked, "What is strange about adults?"

"Nothing. Lin Haotian dealt with it casually and didn't say much, but he was secretly muttering in his heart, he was not a lustful person, and he had no interest in Yang Yuyan before, but how could he suddenly have a 'sexual' interest in her today, even if Yang Yuyan had obvious intentions of flattering and seducing, according to his previous personality, he would only dislike her even more. Could it be because I have been busy with official business during this time and have not touched a woman's relationship for too long?

Thinking of this, Lin Haotian sneered and shook his head.

On the way back to the General's Mansion, Lin Haotian asked the guards to find Peng Qian and invite him to his General's Mansion.

Yang Yuyan's younger brother Yang Fan was arrested by the people of the Lieutenant's Mansion, of course, he could directly find Wang Yu and Wang De's uncle and nephew and ask them to release him, but he has always emphasized that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and it is not good for him to speak in person, and it is most appropriate for Peng Qian, who is smooth and eloquent, to handle it.
