Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Chance Encounter on the Street
After walking out of the palace, Lin Haotian said goodbye to Tai Shuhong and went straight to Sikong Mansion.
Today in the court, it can be said that thanks to the timely arrival of the great Sikong Xiao Xuan, he was able to turn the danger into a disaster and successfully end the matter of Du Yu, otherwise he would not know how to end it! From this incident, Lin Haotian also realized the importance of gaining connections, which was also an important reason why he came this time.
asked a few passers-by along the way, and Lin Haotian found Sikong Mansion almost without much effort. Xiao Xuan seemed to be expected of Lin Haotian's visit, and personally went out to greet him and invited him into the mansion.
After the two of them sat down, Lin Haotian arched his fists, his face was full of gratitude and said, "Haotian is here, I have made a special trip to thank Lord Xiao!"
Xiao Xuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Lin is polite, it's just a gesture!"
Lin Haotian said: "Don't be too humble, today's kindness, Haotian will definitely repay it in the future!"
When Xiao Xuan heard this, he looked up and said: "The general is young, he still has such achievements, and his future will be limitless, and it is true that he will have to rely on General Lin to take care of him in the future." ”
"Lord Xiao is really killed!" While speaking, Lin Haotian was also nodding secretly, feeling that Xiao Xuan could achieve the position of a great master, it was really not simple, he was not arrogant, and he was shrewd and sleek, compared to other ministers, it was much stronger.
At this time, Xiao Xuan leaned forward and said with a smile: "You help me, I help you, everyone helps each other, it is good for each other." ”
"Haha! what Lord Xiao said is very true!" After speaking, both of them tacitly let out a loud voice.
After a pause, Xiao Xuan changed his words and said, "General Lin, how is the border situation recently?"
"Again, the Red Army has launched several large-scale attacks, all of which have been resisted by our army, and the casualties on both sides are about 50,000 before and after. ”
Xiao Xuan nodded and said, "That's fine!"
"Are you alright?" Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Xuan sighed lightly and said, "Brother doesn't know, Mu Jun's side is much more troublesome than yours." Half a month ago, the enemy and us launched a fierce battle at the junction of Shangpu County and Wuling County, and the number of dead on both sides alone exceeded 100,000. ”
After listening to Xiao Xuan's words, Lin Haotian gasped and said in surprise: "Then according to Lord Xiao, our army ...... How long can it last?"
Xiao Xuan shook his head and sighed, "At most, it's only about two months!" As he spoke, he raised his gaze, looked at Lin Haotian, and said with a smile: "Of course, it also depends on the progress of General Lin's side." ”
"Up to us?"
As long as the general can repel the Red Army as soon as possible, then the Mu-Chi Coalition Army will exist in name only, and the army of the Mu Kingdom will not dare to break in alone, and it will not be long before it will retreat without a fight. ”
Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders undeniably, the truth is true, but with his current military horses, whether he can hold Twin Peaks City is a question, and now if he wants to repel the Red Army, how can it be so easy?
Next, Lin Haotian and Xiao Xuan chatted without a word for more than half an hour, and it can be seen from the hearty laughter that comes out of the room from time to time that the two of them can be regarded as having a very happy conversation this time, and it was not until near noon that Lin Haotian got up to say goodbye.
Saying goodbye to Xiao Xuan, Lin Haotian just walked out of Sikong Mansion, but saw that the streets were crowded with people from the Jin Kingdom, and people were crowded together, nodding their feet and stretching their necks, as if they were waiting for something.
Seeing this scene, Lin Haotian couldn't help but be puzzled, stepped forward and grabbed a young man, and asked, "This brother, what are you looking at?"
"You don't know this, today is the day of the queen's sacrifice, and we are all waiting to see the queen!" the young man glanced at Lin Haotian strangely, and explained impatiently.
Priesthood is a consistent custom in the countries of the Abyss Continent, and it is an auspicious ritual to seek blessings and ward off disasters to the gods through activities such as worshipping the gods and worshipping ancestors, and in addition, the presiding officer of the sacrifice must be a woman, so this kind of event in various countries is generally attended by the queens of various countries.
Listening to the young man's words, Lin Haotian suddenly realized. When Xiahou Chengjie died, Zhao Yu had not yet established a queen, so Lin Haotian never had the appearance of a queen in his memory, and he really didn't know what kind of person he would be.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be secretly curious, stood on tiptoe, stretched his head, and wanted to witness the queen's demeanor.
After a short time, the people on both sides of the street began to boil, cheers rang out, thunderous applause, and at the same time, countless bright red petals fell from the sky.
The first to appear in front of everyone was a heavily armed palace guard, all the guards rode a tall horse under their crotch, wearing black and bright Jin Guokai armor, walking on the street with heroic and mighty hair.
After the guards, a convoy slowly appeared in front of everyone, among them, the carriage in the center of the convoy was pulled by eight sturdy red and brown horses, dressed in noble and luxurious costumes, the body was engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, and the bright red curtains were surrounded by bright red curtains, which wrapped the entire carriage tightly.
Around the carriage, there was a group of maids dressed in red, each with a basket of flowers in their hands, and the maids from time to time swayed out the petals in the basket, and tens of millions of petals fluttered in the air, like bright red snowflakes.
Because the queen's carriage was tightly wrapped in red cloth, it was impossible to see the scene inside the carriage clearly from the outside, which made the people around who were waiting to see the excitement a little disappointed, and Lin Haotian, who was standing at the back of the crowd, was not a person who liked to join in the fun, looking at the back of the carriage gradually leaving, he smiled helplessly, and wanted to retreat.
But at this moment, a gust of wind hit him, swept through Lin Haotian's clothes, and also lifted the corner of the red curtain on the carriage.
A beautiful face is exposed in front of everyone!
The woman in the car, a jet-black hair scattered on her slender shoulders, lining the delicate skin more fair, curved eyelashes in the sunlight to form an arc-shaped solitary shadow, so long and thick, her nose is small and firm, red like strawberry-like lips are pursed, looking from a distance, this is simply a fairy in the painting that does not eat the fireworks of the world.
"Whoa-" The crowd exploded, and the people blushed and their eyes converged on the curtains.
The woman in the car, after hearing the exclamations around her, waved her hand to everyone with a smile, but soon, she closed the red curtain again.
This...... This smile......
It was like a lightning bolt exploding! Lin Haotian's mind was full of thunder!
He thought of the woman who was seared into the depths of his soul!
Ten years is enough to change a person's appearance, but for the man who once loved her deeply, he will never forget this smile.
But the one sitting in the carriage is obviously the queen of the Jin Kingdom, admired by thousands of people, how can it be......
A terrible thought flashed through Lin Haotian's mind!
He grabbed the shoulders of the young man beside him, shook it vigorously, and asked loudly, "What is the queen's name?"
"Yang Yuyan, the goddaughter of the Prime Minister!" As he spoke, the young man opened Lin Haotian's arm, his face was angry, and he said angrily: "Sick, right?"
"Yang Yuyan ......" muttered this name, Lin Haotian's originally nervous expression instantly eased a lot, he shook his head with a wry smile, perhaps, it was really his own dazzle!
Afterwards, Lin Haotian also asked Tai Shuhong about the queen, but the old man's answer was very vague, just saying that Yang Yuyan was originally a singer in his house, and Zhao Yu recruited her into the palace, and she was very favored, and was later canonized as the queen.
To make a long story short, when Lin Haotian returned to the restaurant, it was just lunchtime, and at this time, Ding Feng, Bi Wu, and Ling Wuya were still gathered in the room, their faces full of urgency, and they kept walking around the room.
Seeing Lin Haotian, the eyes of the three of them lit up together, and without waiting for others to speak, Ding Feng hurriedly stepped forward and said with a panicked expression: "Oh! My lord, you are finally back!"
Lin Haotian had never seen Ding Feng in such a gaffe, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked urgently, "What's the matter?"
"I just received the news that something happened in Twin Peaks!"
