Chapter 7 Cooking and salivating
Ye Long'er just wanted to reach out and take it.
Lin Zhi had already put the sword back in his sheath, took two steps back and said, "Miss, don't break the rules that are too observant."
Ye Long'er bit her lip, envious, put her hands behind her back, and said in a low voice: "Commander Lin, I have something to ask for."
Lin Zhidao: "Miss, please speak, I am willing to go to the soup for Miss."
Ye Long'er hurriedly shook his hand and said, "It's not that serious, I'll just make a small request."
Lin Zhi listened carefully.
Ye Long'er saw that there was no one around, and said, "I want to be the commander of Bailin as a teacher."
Lin Zhiyi's face changed greatly when he heard this, if he let Taishou know about this, Miss would definitely be severely punished, and he was not afraid of being affected, he couldn't let his beloved woman be wronged at all, and said, "Miss, is someone bullying you?"
Ye Long'er shook his head.
Lin Zhi glanced at Ye Long'er affectionately, and then said, "Miss, I'm here to resign, and King Zheng invited me back." Raised his hands above his head, arched his hands and said: "Your Majesty, now in Yangzhou Weifu private visit, the prince is in charge of the government, forming a party for personal gain, and making the palace a miasma, the king Zhao Chengqian, feels that he is weak, and specially recruited me to go back to help him."
Ye Long'er was startled, and felt so sad when she heard that he was leaving, she had never been so lost in her heart, and she lowered her head and asked, "Are you still back?"
Lin Zhi was also stunned, he didn't dare to answer this question, this time he was summoned away by King Zheng, it was difficult to come back, and he pondered for a moment and said, "We will meet in the Celestial Empire soon."
Ye Long'er suddenly shouted: "I don't want to enter the palace, I hate it." After speaking, he took out a jade pendant from his body, touched it in his arms, turned around and ran away.
Lin Zhi hurriedly took the jade pendant, looked at Ye Long'er's quickly disappeared back, and was stunned, he knew his identity, Ye Long'er and he did not have the freedom to marry, so they could only wait for the emperor to give him marriage.
Ye Taishou came again from a distance, he saw everything in his eyes just now, walked to Lin Zhi's side and said: "Good boy, this is fate, return to the Heavenly Empire, assist King Zheng well, organize the dynasty, if King Zheng has a chance to ascend the throne, you and Long'er will have hope."
Lin Zhi bowed deeply and said, "Taishou, my subordinates have taken their leave." Turning his head to see that Ye Long'er had long since disappeared, he left the back garden with his heart sideways.
Lin Zhi rode his beloved snow leopard BMW, hungry and overnight, thirsty for drink, afraid to take the road, afraid that the prince would send someone to secretly chase and kill, take a small road and detour, after a month's journey, finally came to the Celestial Empire, did not even return home, and went directly to the Zhengwang Mansion to see Zhao Chengqian.
The tall gatehouse is very magnificent, and there are three big characters written on the door plaque "Zhengwangfu." ”
Lin Zhi grabbed the reins of the horse at the gate, turned over the horses, and ran to the door.
The guard at the door knows, dare not stop, at this time it is really the weather in June, the garden is full of spring, the fragrance of flowers is fragrant, the white marble is paved on the ground, the cleaning is spotless, and it shows the elegance and chic.
Lin Zhi walked through the main entrance, crossed the corridor, passed through the three courtyards, and came to King Zheng's study.
I saw a man dressed in white, with a melon seed face, a high nose bridge, skin like snow, thick eyebrows and big eyes with a thousand layers of murderous aura, sitting against the table, holding his cheek with one hand, thinking about something.
Lin Zhi walked lightly, walked into the study, knelt on one knee, and arched his hand: "King Zheng, it's too late."
This person is Zhao Chengqian, the king of justice, who was overjoyed when he saw Lin Zhi coming, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him up and said, "You're back."
Lin Zhidao: "Yes, there are some assassins on the road, so I can't get rid of them, so I came late, and I hope that King Zheng will forgive his sins."
Zhao Chengqian said coldly: "It's good that peace comes, the prince is well-informed enough, and he dares to send someone to assassinate you, obviously he wants to cut off my arm." Seeing Lin Zhi's dust, he came to himself before he went to the house to meet his father, and he sighed infinitely in his heart, and said: "In the future, you will stay by my side and be my personal guard.
Lin Zhi arched his hand and said, "Yes." He took two steps back and turned to leave.
After Zhao Chengqian saw Lin Zhi leaving, he remembered the prince's arrogant appearance, suppressed himself everywhere, and was full of unhappiness, so he fell on the bed and lay down.
It turned out that Zhao Chengqian was a young man with great ambitions, he saw that his father was promiscuous, ignoring the government, and the prince was even better, if the prince succeeded to the throne, he would let the people of the world go out into misery.
Suddenly, someone outside the door came to report, "King Zheng, something is wrong." ”
Zhao Chengqian hurriedly got down from under the bed and asked, "What happened?"
The man walked into the house and said, "Another child is missing."
Zhao Chengqian was shocked, now there are children lost every day in Fengyang City, this family has lost their son, and that family has lost their daughter, so they have to be parents, looking for them everywhere, crying day and night.
Zhao Chengqian asked, "Is there a clue?"
The man shook his head and said, "My subordinates sent people to investigate and secretly visit, but there is not the slightest clue."
Zhao Chengqian was also helpless, waved his hand and said, "Stand down."
Zhao Chengqian gritted his teeth, knowing that this was related to the prince and me, but there was no evidence, so he could only endure it.
The next day, Lin Zhi came to the Zhengwang Mansion to report.
Zhao Chengqian knew that Lin Zhi was a tiger general, just because he remembered the old master's affection, and followed, Ye Chengli was removed from the post of general by his father, and let him go to Jinzhou to be a guard, and he could not touch weapons again for life, Lin Zhi followed Ye Chengli for seven years and never returned to the Celestial Empire.
When I was a child, I and Lin Zhi were the best playmates, although they were masters and servants, they were secretly brothers, Lin Zhi was three years older than Zhao Chengli, and he had long regarded Lin Zhi as a big brother.
When he saw that he had rested at home for a day, he came to report, and his heart was very happy, and he sat down at the table and remembered what had happened.
Lin Zhi was also infinitely emotional.
Zhao Chengqian asked, "Sister Long'er, are you okay?"
Lin Zhidao: "She's fine."
Zhao Chengqian smiled and said: "I heard about you, for the sake of the people of Jinzhou, you took the lead, and actually used human flesh walls and sandbags to block the flood, Sister Long'er is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows."
Lin Zhi heard Zhao Chengqian praise Ye Long'er like this, and remembered that Ye Long'er was covered in mud at that time, like a clay man, and couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Chengqian could see that Lin Zhi had a love for Ye Long'er, and said: "Next year, Sister Long'er will come to the Heavenly Empire, I will find a way to make her lose the election, leave her in the Zhengwang Mansion, and have the opportunity to give her to you again and fulfill you."
Lin Zhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him and said, "King Xie Zheng."
Zhao Chengqian said: "Now I have one of the most tricky things in my hands, the innocent disappearance of Zhongzi in Fengyang City, and now it has reached as many as 1,000, and the panic of having children in the city is so uneasy, and there is no clue at all so far, which is really a headache for me."
Lin Zhidao: "I also heard my father mention this matter last night, so Weichen didn't dare to rest more, so he hurried to listen to King Zheng's orders."
Zhao Chengqian stood up and said, "We'll go to Fengyang City for a private visit now."
Lin Zhi had already stood up and asked, "How many people do we bring?"
Zhao Chengqian raised his head and said, "Just the two of us, God doesn't know the ghosts, and there are many people who make mistakes."
Lin Zhi saw that Zhao Chengqian was full of guts, and couldn't help but secretly admire.
Three days later, at ten o'clock at noon, they came to Fengyang City, first found an inn to stay, had a full meal, and then went to the street to inspect the clues.
When I came to the main street, I saw a group of people in front of me, kneeling at the door of the government to complain.
Lin Zhi stepped forward to ask why, and learned from the people that it was for the loss of the child, and asked the prefect to track down the murderer.
At this moment, suddenly a group of officials rushed out of the government office, holding sticks in their hands, no matter where they were, slashing their heads and covering their faces, and beat the people indiscriminately.
Suddenly the crowd was in chaos, and the unarmed people were unlucky, and suddenly the blood flowed like a river, and the people ran in all directions.
Lin Zhi was afraid that someone would hurt King Zheng, so he hurriedly protected Zhao Chengqian.
Zhao Chengqian's face was pale, and he hurriedly said: "It's important to save people."
Lin Zhidao: "King Zheng, it is inconvenient for us to reveal our identity now, it is important to find out the truth, you are a daughter, the prefect of Fengyang is the prince's person, if he knows that King Zheng is here, he must inform the prince and send someone to assassinate him." Pull King Zheng to hide in the corner.
The officers and soldiers arrested more than a hundred civilians and were taken away.
Zhao Chengqian bit his lip and secretly begged: "Okay, you Fengyang prefect, you wait for me."
The two hurried away from the crowd and returned to the inn.
Within two days, the Fengyang prefect made these complaints against the common people, beating them, clamping them, asking them for their crimes, and filling the army, which made them angry and crying.
Lin Zhi sat downstairs drinking alcohol, in the hall, he was the only one, and the guy had nothing to do, so he talked to the boss, leaned on the counter, facing the boss.
The man sighed: "Where to be reasonable these days, the people have no way to complain, the prince colluded with Chen Guoshi, how dare the prefect manage this matter, pity these innocent children were arrested and made into pills."
The boss slapped the guy's head and whispered, "Do you know that the goods come out of the mouth?" I know it's over, so hurry up and get to work. ”
The man also felt that he was too tongue-in-cheek, so he shrank in fright, didn't speak, put the rag on his shoulder, and turned and walked towards the back kitchen.
Lin Zhi looked at the guy, there was still a lot to say, and if he wanted to find out about it, he had to start with this guy.
Lin Zhi put down the wine glass in his hand, walked upstairs, came to Zhao Chengqian's room, and told him what happened just now.
Zhao Chengqian's eyes lit up and said, "Hurry up and call him to me."
Lin Zhi turned around and came out, under the pretext that the master was hungry, and asked the guy to deliver the food to the room.
The owner was full of promises and told the kitchen.
There was not much time, but it was still the same guy, holding the wine and food, knocking on the door a few times, pushing the door open, greeting him with a smile, and saying, "Master, your meal." Set the plate on the table.
Lin Zhi closed the door.
The guy was stunned and asked, "Master, what else do you command?"
Lin Zhi walked up to the guy and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Er, our master wants to ask you about something." As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom and handed it to the man.
When the guy saw the money, he nodded, took the silver and said, "As long as the villain, you can tell everything you know."
Zhao Chengqian nodded and said, "You know that you have lost a child in the city recently?"
Before Zhao Chengqian could finish speaking, he put the silver on the table, turned around and ran.
Lin Zhi held the sword in front of his chest.
The guy was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, peed his pants, his face turned pale, and said, "The villain doesn't know, I don't know anything, don't ask."
Lin Zhi looked at his bear-like appearance, felt funny, snorted coldly, and said: "I see that you know everything, but you just don't want to say it, can you really bear to watch the people in the city die?"
The man kowtowed like a chicken and crushed rice, and begged, "The villain really doesn't know anything."
Zhao Chengqian gave Lin Zhi a look.
Lin Zhidao: "Do you know who this person is in front of you?" He is the king of the court, and he has come to find out about the loss of the child, you dare to hide it again, be careful of your head. ”
The guy opened his mouth in fright, and he hadn't taken a breath for a long time.
Zhao Chengqian squinted at him.
The guy lay on the ground and said: "I said, a few days ago, I went to Gaotuo Mountain outside the city, to send wine and food, because the mountain is high and the road is far away, it was almost dark when I came back, I wanted to take a shortcut back, passed through Liu Shulin, walked too quickly, and tripped under my feet, I was angry at that time, grabbed the wooden stick that I moved down, and threw it out to relieve my anger, who knew that it was the skeleton of a child."
Zhao Chengqian's eyebrows moved.
The guy said: "I want to lose the child, it must be related to the view of the rising sun."
Lin Zhi asked, "Who is the Lord of the Rising Sun Observatory?"
The guy said: "Baimei Daoist is the eldest disciple of the national teacher."
Now the truth is revealed, this matter is done by Chaoyang Guan.
Zhao Chengqian nodded slightly.
Lin Zhi said coldly: "Who did you mention this to you?"
The guy said: "No one has mentioned it, do I dare, if I offend the Baimei Daoist, there will be my life."
Lin Zhidao: "Okay, don't mention this matter to anyone, including the identity of the king."
The guy nodded hurriedly and said, "The villain understands."
Lin Zhi let the estimate retreat.
Zhao Chengqian stood up and said, "Tonight, we will explore the Chaoyang Temple at night."
Lin Zhi arched his hand and said: "King Zheng, let's let the villain go, there must be a hidden weapon there, it's too dangerous for you to go."
The corners of Zhao Chengqian's mouth moved, and he said with his hands behind his back: "It's better to get a tiger in the tiger's den, this time we must give the prince a wake-up call and cut off his arm."
It was just dark, and Lin Zhi was in the man's mouth again, asking about the location of Chaoyang Guan.
Lin Zhi and Zhao Chengqian left the inn, got on their horses, and rushed to Chaoyang Temple while the city gate was not closed.
When they came to the foot of Chaoyang Mountain, they couldn't ride a horse, so the two turned over and dismounted.
Lin Zhi tied the horse to a tree.
The two walked up the mountain, came to the halfway up the mountain, and without a gust of wind behind them, a fierce tiger jumped out, saying that it was too late, it was fast, and the tiger pounced on Zhao Chengqian.
