Volume 2 Youzhou Song Chapter 43 is a last resort
"How can you be so heavy!" Kerry grumbled, holding a hot handkerchief to his face.
Lin Ying sneered, "Dao Chang is good at kung fu, I didn't expect that although your body is a little mellow, your kung fu is not bad at all!"
"Then you can't put such a heavy hand. ”
"Haha, that little student apologizes here!"
Nian Xingchen looked at the Taoist priest who was admitted to the hospital, and pulled Hua Qiruo's clothes, "What's the situation?"
"He's the other person who escorted us north, Keli Zhenren, you are in a gang, Sister Lin beat him up just now!" Hanazaki leaned over and moved his lips lightly.
Nian Xingchen naturally scolded Lin Ying secretly in his heart, thief girl!
"By the way, it's going to leave tomorrow, are you all ready?" Kerry rubbed his handkerchief gently against the red and swollen spots on his face.
"Of course!" Lin Ying's smug expression overflowed.
"It doesn't matter what your body is, right?" Nian Xingchen asked Hanazaki Ruo.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Hanasaki Ruo smiled and said, "I, I'm going back to make lanterns......"
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, the Dongying delegation in the post house had been assembled.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the escorts are also ready to leave.
"Young master, come back early, Sister Lin has a strong mouth, you just have to talk to her less. Xiao Man handed the burden to Nian Xingchen, but a little girl was like an old mother who was traveling with her son at this time, and she gave thousands of instructions.
"I know, don't go out if you're fine, Chang'an is not necessarily safe, without me, you are gone, and no one is looking for you. ”
"Don't say that, I'm also smart and clever, okay, it's much better than your wooden head. By the way, young master, I want to talk to the mare's milk wine there in Saibei. ”
"Mare's milk?"
Xiaoman clasped her hands, and a yearning light in her eyes took her back to the days of Saibei, "In my memory, the people in the tribe all drink mare's milk wine, which is said to be sweet and spicy!"
Nian Xingchen rubbed Xiao Man's head vigorously, "You girl, you really can't wait to drink?"
"Oh, this is a memory, do you understand? There is no human touch at all, young master!"
"Got it, got it, bring it to you!" Nian Xingchen tied the burden behind his back and hugged Xiaoman before leaving, "Wait for me!"
Outside the door, Li Ruofu, Lin Ying, and Keli have been waiting for a while.
"Lord Nian really doesn't refuse to come!" Lin Ying put his hands behind him, wearing yesterday's men's clothes, heroic and compelling.
Ke Li smiled bitterly: "Brother Nian is a person who values love and righteousness, although the cultivation world does not have a good reputation for you, but Xiaodao is also willing to make friends with you." In my life, I don't like to divide black and white too much. ”
Nian Xingchen smiled indifferently, and also raised his hand to salute, "The Taoist is too modest, and reputation is not so important to me." Black and white are also difficult to distinguish. ”
Li Ruofu nodded, "It's good that you can understand, the way of black and white, why bother to distinguish between strong and strong, weak is evil!"
"According to what you say, am I black or white, good or evil?" asked Lin Ying with a blink of his big deep eyes.
"That's not up to us to judge, future generations have their own comments!" Li Ruofu dug out the seam of his clothes, "Lin Ying, I'll give this to you." ”
It is also a waist card, the texture is different from his own personal guard waist card, it is caused by pure gold, the whole body is shining with gold, and the ingenious carved dragon pattern is like a long-lost treasure.
Lin Ying took the waist card, "This is ......"
"This is the royal decree gold medal given to me by His Majesty, and its power is like a holy decree, to dispatch troops and generals, and to decide the life and death of others!"
"But does this thing have anything to do with this operation? Do you have to use the power of the Tang Army?" Ke Li scratched his head, "Aren't we just going to kill someone and then find my senior brother?"
Li Ruofu sighed lightly, his expression became serious, "The secret agent in Youzhou who sent the information back has lost contact!"
"What!" everyone exclaimed.
"I'm afraid that Youzhou already has a terrifying force hidden in the shadows. Li Ruofu's eyebrows tightened, and he pointed his finger on the waist card, "I'm afraid I have to use the army when the time comes, this trick is in case of emergency!"
"But isn't there a garrison in Youzhou? Andingguo is also there! Even if the Saibei people really make any waves, the garrison should be able to solve it, right?" Lin Ying said with a pull on his waist.
"That's right!" said Ke Li, scratching his head, and smiling.
Nian Xingchen was silent on the side, he had never been very sensitive to thinking about problems.
"Is that so?" Li Ruofu asked back.
Lin Ying pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes moved slightly, she shook her head, and thought for a while, "No, you didn't tell An Dingguo about this at all, did you?"
"Not bad. ”
"Huh?" "What do you mean?"
Lin Ying nodded, touching the waist card in his hand, "There are ghosts in the Youzhou Army, otherwise I wouldn't have told them at all!"
"Hahahaha. Li Ruofu laughed loudly, "Yes, you are very smart, beyond my imagination! ”
"Li Xiang, I ......"
"If it's not in my clan, its heart will be different!" Li Ruofu said in a cold voice with his eyes slightly closed, revealing a slit, "Although the Tang people account for the majority of the Youzhou Army, there are also many people who have joined the Tang Army because of their military exploits! Don't forget, he is also from the Saibei Dynasty!"
Frankly speaking, after Nian Xingchen carefully understood the meaning of this sentence, he didn't dare to agree, why did his heart be different? Xiaoman is also from Saibei, she depends on herself for her life, will she harm herself? Definitely not! Some things can be changed by time!
"Li Xiang, I don't think what you said is right!" Just as Nian Xingchen was thinking about Li Xiang's words, Ke Li spoke, "My second brother is a native of Saibei, he was adopted in the Ethereal Peak since he was a child, he is honest and honest, and he treats people extremely sincerely, you are too absolute to say this!"
"Calm down, Captain Keli. Lin Ying interrupted Ke Li, "What Old Man Li said is not unreasonable, Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and it is completely necessary for the army to grow and recruit the nearby Saibei people, and besides, some Saibei people watched the Tang people burn their homes and kill their own families, and hatred can be buried in their hearts!"
"But ......"
"Your second brother Xingyun, he has been cultivating since he was a child, and he grew up in the Tang Kingdom, how can he have hatred in his heart? But those displaced Saibei people are different, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they crawled out of the hell of blood and fire!"
Lin Ying explained to Ke Li, but his eyes were fixed on the waist card, "So, if the power of the Saibei people really exists, we can't fully trust the Youzhou Army!"
Li Ruofu once again affirmed Lin Ying's answer, "Sharp, if there is a problem within the Youzhou Army, even if there is this waist card, it will not work, and then they should cooperate inside and outside, and Youzhou will not be guaranteed!"
Ke Li also looked thoughtful, "Then something is really going to happen, who are we looking for?"
Li Ruofu looked at Lin Ying with a smile, "You should know more about this matter." ”
Lin Ying glanced at Li Ruofu and said angrily: "Old man Li, you think a lot!"
Ke Li was dizzy, "What are you talking about?"
"Daoist Breaker who cultivates all day long, what do you know?" Lin Ying pouted sarcastically, and then asked Ke Li with a positive face, "If something really happens, where is the closest place to Youzhou?"
"Uh......"
"Stupid, the closest to Youzhou is, of course, Yanmen in the north!" Lin Ying said impatiently, "Yanmen and Youzhou are both strategic places, Yanmen is in the north of Saibei, and Youzhou is in the east of Goguryeo." ”
"Ask for help from Yanmen and send troops?"
Lin Ying sighed and said with a wry smile: "I finally thought of it, is the Taoist priest's head made of wood?" Yes, Youzhou and Yanmen can be reached in half a day, if there is really a problem inside Youzhou, asking for help from Yanmen at this moment is the best way!"
"There won't be a problem inside Yanmen?" Ke Li saw that he was being laughed at, and he also wanted to ask there, just to ask you.
"Yanmen won't have an accident!"
"Are you so sure?"
"The guard of Yanmen is Li Guangzhou, the general of Zhenbei!My father!What do you think!" After Lin Ying was asked questions continuously, he was already impatient in his heart, and shouted loudly at Ke Li.
"So powerful!" Ke Li smiled awkwardly, and his chubby face was yelled into sweat, "By the way, Lin Gongzi, why don't you have your father's surname?"
Nian Xingchen snickered secretly, is Ke Li really more indifferent to himself than he is about the world? Li Guangzhou's only daughter Lin Ying, the first strange woman in the Tang Dynasty, he is actually called Gongzi.
"If you want to take care of it, I'm willing to have my mother's surname!" Lin Ying rolled his eyes at Ke Li, "You don't have to inquire about our family affairs, otherwise be careful that I will beat you!"
Indeed, the question of why Lin Ying is not called Li Ying is still a mystery, and Nian Xingchen is also a little curious, isn't it the past? In this way, he also follows his mother's surname.
After hearing this, Ke Li's body trembled slightly, this person wanted to shrink into the ground, thinking about the slap he was slapped by Lin Ying yesterday, his heart was full of bitter water.
"Hehe, don't ask, don't ask, Lin Gongzi, don't hit me, my face still hurts now!" Ke Li touched his face after speaking, and moved his feet back.
"Anyway, this waist card is just in case of emergency, and I also take the worst-case scenario into account, I hope you don't use it along the way. Li Ruofu sighed.
"Old man Li, you are thoughtful, but it is not in vain that you have been the prime minister for many years, I accepted this waist card, and I still hope not to take it out until it is absolutely necessary. Lin Ying put the waist tag into the seam of his clothes.
"Lin Ying!" Nian Xingchen couldn't help but open his mouth when he saw her being so rude again.
"Hey, Xiao Nian, it's okay, let her go, the old man has been in a high position for many years, there is such a thing as power, I have it, power comes from desire, desire comes from the heart, and the human heart is the most terrible thing in the world!" Li Ruofu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Of course, playing with people's hearts is the true color of those who get power, I think I have no last resort, but who can see through people's hearts?"
