Lingyun returned safely, and everyone was happy.

Lord Lu, as well as Xu Zhi, Yang Zhen, Jiang Chun and other brothers in the Lu Mansion - in short, the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department was full of joy.

Mrs. Ruan, who had been sick in bed for a long time, saw her son and was also energetic at this time, and cried: "Son, it is not easy to raise you for your mother, and this time God blessed that nothing happened; If you act so impulsively in the future, how can you reassure your mother, and how can you be worthy of your mother's hard work! ”

Facing his mother, Ling Yun had mixed feelings in his heart. He leaned over and knelt down in front of his mother's bed, choked up, and said, "Mother, there are thousands of mistakes, all of them are the fault of the son......"

Later, everyone asked Ling Yun about his experience in the past month or so, and Ling Yun seemed very reluctant to mention it.

He told the people that it was the people of the Celestial Owl Organization who lured him that day; As he fought the enemy, he was careless of the enemy's plot - and the Hidden Arrow that wounded him was extremely poisonous.

Later, a friend of the rivers and lakes rescued his life and exorcised poison for him; He then recuperated with that friend for a few days before he returned......

And he took out the arrow that had wounded him so badly, and showed it to the people. He told them that one day he would find the owner of the Hidden Arrow and avenge the arrow.

In fact, the person who injured him with a highly poisonous sleeve arrow, Ling Yun already knew it; It's just that there is no tangible evidence to bring him to justice.

At that time, the person who plotted against him was hiding behind the bushes, although it was only a glimpse, but with a sharp eye, he had already caught who the other party was; It's a pity that one-sided words are not enough to prove it, and there is no other evidence to support it, so I have to let the person who plotted against him get away with it for the time being.

That day, he met the Lee brothers on the street. Li Xuan's expression was very unnatural, and he smiled wryly: "Commander Ling, don't come to harm?" ”

Ling Yun sneered and said, "Thanks to Martial Master Li's Hong Fu, Ling Yun is not dead yet, thanks to Martial Master Li's mercy that day!" ”

Li Xuan sneered, "Why did Commander Ling say this? I don't understand...... "After that, he and Li Wu hurriedly bowed their heads and passed.

He gritted his teeth secretly as he walked, thinking: What a pity, why didn't that hidden arrow kill him in the first place? ……

Here we will go back to the palace of the king of Jinling.

Princess Wei of Jinling is talking to Zhao Fu, the prince of Jinling.

Princess Jinling said: "Look at our daughter, who doesn't think about tea and food all day long, and has a sad face, everyone has lost a lot of weight, how can you get it if you go on like this?" ”

The prince of Jinling sighed heavily, in fact, how could he not know about his daughter's situation these days? A few days ago, after Lingyun of Qinfang Courtyard decisively proposed to Huanyu to break up, Huanyu has been sullen.

Later, when he heard that Ling Yun had suddenly disappeared and his life and death were unknown, Huanyu was even more worried, and urged the prince of Jinling to go to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department to inquire about the news.

Now that Lingyun is back safely, Huanyu has aroused the thoughts of her daughter's family after a long sigh of relief; Locking himself in his room all day long, not saying a word, compared to before, it was like a different person.

Thinking of these troublesome things that kept cutting and sorting out the mess, the prince of Jinling only felt upset, so he turned his gaze to the princess of Jinling and said, "In the opinion of the lady? ”

Princess Jinling hesitated for a moment, and said: "In the opinion of the concubine, it is better to ...... It's better to fulfill your daughter's wishes! ……”

The prince of Jinling suddenly stood up from his chair, glared at him, and said, "What did you say?" ……”

Princess Jinling said calmly: "Lord, don't worry! Listen to the concubine finish her words first.

"One, Huanyu is indeed single-mindedly in love with Ling Yun; And you don't know our daughter's temper, the road is black, if she recognizes the thing, even eight horses can't pull it back. Look at her now, if you can't fulfill her wishes, maybe she'll do something out of the ordinary!

"Second, the matter between Ling Yun and our daughter is full of turmoil outside, and people are terrible! Yes, our daughter is innocent and guarded like jade, but who can believe it? Sometimes, human words are more terrible than real inconsistencies! You don't allow her to marry Ling Yun, who can you marry her? ”

Zhao Fu sighed helplessly when he heard this, lowered his head dejectedly, and was silent.

Princess Jinling continued: "In addition, you don't know our daughter's temperament, arrogant, arrogant, arrogant and willful, who can afford to provoke her?" Let's just talk about that time, at that time, Prime Minister Wang's son-in-law came to ask for marriage, and our daughter had to compete with others, but she beat them to a blue nose and swollen face, and she couldn't get out of bed for half a month......"

The prince of Jinling couldn't help but be annoyed: "Why don't you open the pot and mention the pot, can you not mention this matter!" ”

Princess Jinling smiled: "Yes, yes, lord, let's not mention this, just now." There is a saying that one thing descends one thing, in my opinion, although Ling Yun looks gentle and elegant on the surface, he actually has a stoic and resolute personality; And martial arts are good, our daughter's temper, maybe this kid can overcome it......"

Wei's words are said to the heart of the prince of Jinling; He nodded approvingly, but did not speak.

Princess Jinling saw that the prince was a little moved, and couldn't help but be happy in her heart, so she hit the railway while it was hot: "Besides, I don't think there's anything bad about all aspects of this Lingyun!" Whether it's ability, character, or how to deal with people - otherwise you won't be so favored by Lu Wenzheng, and your appearance is good! ”

The prince of Jinling waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay!" ”

Princess Jinling said: "I'm right! Last time he escorted our daughter back to the capital, the housekeeper took him to see you, and I saw him on the side, but he is really a handsome person with outstanding temperament and first-class character! No wonder our daughter fell in love with him at first sight! Even I, who is a mother, took a fancy to it at a glance......"

"That's it!" The prince of Jinling flicked his sleeves unhappily.

Princess Jinling said: "What's the matter, Lord, don't you agree?" ”

The prince of Jinling said: "You talked for a long time, but you ignored the most important point. ”

Princess Jinling was puzzled: "What? ”

The prince of Jinling said: "Do you know what Ling Yun thinks, will he agree to this marriage?" ”

Princess Jinling pursed her lips and said with a look of disdain: "What, he still dares to disagree?" ”

The prince of Jinling said: "Don't forget, a few days ago in the Qinfang Courtyard, he personally rejected our daughter!" ”

Princess Jinling said: "Actually, I have thought about this for a long time, and in that situation, he was also forced to be helpless!" ”

The prince of Jinling glanced at the princess: "How can you say this?" ”

Princess Jinling said: "Lord Wang, think about it, at that time, we were very vehemently opposed to this matter!" Moreover, you also sent your subordinates to trick Lingyun into coming to our palace, and beat and killed them; When people see that their lives are in danger, do they dare to provoke our daughter again? That's why he refused this matter - doesn't this also mean that this kid Ling Yun is quite interesting! And now that the situation is different, what else can he not agree to? ”

The prince of Jinling frowned and said, "It's hard to say! Through these interactions over the years, I also know a little bit about Lingyun's character; What if he was really stubborn and refused to agree to the marriage? ”

Princess Jinling lowered her head and thought for a while: "Otherwise, the prince might as well go to the saint, just say that some time ago, the sky was rampant, and Lingyun had a meritorious role in suppressing bandits; and also braved the hardships and dangers, escorted the county lord, and returned to the capital safely; In recognition of his merits, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to make him knighted, and give him the lord of the county to marry? ”

The prince of Jinling smiled bitterly: "Madam, with your ingenuity, it is a bit condescending to be only a princess of Jinling, you should be my female military teacher!" ”

Princess Jinling glanced at him and said, "Cut, don't be sarcastic!" Lord, do you just say that this idea works? ”

The prince of Jinling sighed and said, "So far, it can only be like this. ”……

The Ministry of Criminal Affairs is still in the house. Feng Chaoying, the head of the inner house, led two deacons and eunuchs with holy decrees in their hands, and welcomed them into the hall like the moon by the stars.

Lu Wenzheng, Xu Zhi, Ling Yun, Yang Zhen, Jiang Chun and others knelt on the ground to receive the order.

Feng Chaoying opened the holy decree and read it aloud:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:

Ling Yun, the commander of the guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, served the country loyally, was not afraid of hardships and dangers, exterminated the Heavenly Owl bandits, and had meritorious service in protecting the county lord; In recognition of his merits, he was promoted to the second grade, and the county lord gave him a marriage, so that he could choose an auspicious day to complete the marriage in the near future.

Chin this! ”

After listening to the reading of the holy decree, the people below couldn't help but cheer, and they all felt infinite glory and joy for Ling Yun.

Lu Wenzheng and others kowtowed again and again, thanking the lord Longen; Only Ling Yun was stunned, as if he was stupid, kneeling in place and speechless for a long time.

Feng Chaoying walked up to him and said with a slight smile: "Commander Ling, you still haven't received the order to thank you!" ”

Yang Zhen and the others thought that he was overexcited and a little overwhelmed, and stabbed him vigorously, "Brother Ling, what's wrong with you?" Hurry up and receive thanksgiving! ”

Ling Yun's face was pale at this time, and he didn't say a word. He only felt that his mind was buzzing, as if he had not understood the meaning of the holy decree, and he was a little dazed for a while.

What, the emperor wants to give marriage? Give him the lord of Huanyu? Isn't that kidding him?

A month ago in Yinyi Villa, he had just been married by Pingming Monk and Lian Xuanzhong as witnesses, and he married Lian Nanchun Chapel.

At that time, in front of Lian Nanchun, Pingming Monk and Lian Xuanzhong, he made a promise: he will only love Lian Nanchun alone in his life, and he will never change his mind; And I will not marry another woman in this life, if I break my oath, I would rather die by the sword! ……

But now, the emperor wants him to marry another woman! If he agreed, wouldn't he have reneged on his original promise, and how could he practice Nanchun right? How did you get the true love and love between yourself and Lian Nanchun? …… No, he can't agree, he can't say yes!

Thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Ling Yun thanks the Holy Lord for his kindness, but Ling Yun ......"

"Commander Ling! ......" Ling Yun's words were just halfway through when they were categorically intercepted by Lu Wenzheng's stern words. Lu Wenzheng turned his face and glared at him fiercely, his sharp eyes were as cold as a blade, blooming with a sharp cold glow.

Lord Lu's majesty and aura made Ling Yun's heart tremble, and he subconsciously stopped.

Lu Wenzheng took over the conversation and said: "Weichen thanked the Holy Lord for Lingyun's grace, and here's the order to thank you!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Feng Chaoying nodded with satisfaction, and Shi Shiran said: "This is very good, then our family will go back to the palace to return to the saint." With that, he took a few little eunuchs and turned away.

Seeing this, Ling Yun was unwilling, so he got up to stop him, but he was dragged by Xu Zhi, Yang Zhen and others.

The people in the palace left, and only the cadres of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department were left in the hall.

Lu Wenzheng turned his face coldly, glanced at Ling Yun dissatisfied, and said, "Commander Ling, you come with me to the study." ”
