Zhou Chudui couldn't see her like this, reached over and rubbed Lin Qingluan's eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "I know why, but I don't know that he suddenly chose his brother." ”

He followed her and called her brother!

Lin Qingluan glanced at him with disgust, but he didn't care about it so much: "What does he want his brother to do?" ”

"Before, the emperor found out about King Rui's stronghold in Beijing, but it was too late to find it. Later, there was another incident in the hunting ground, and the emperor moved the real fire, and did not hesitate to go south to find it, and finally found some traces of King Rui. ”

Zhou Chuwan patiently told Lin Qingluan little by little, "The emperor wants to wipe out King Rui as soon as possible, otherwise no matter what you do in the future, you have to take more precautions, which really outweighs the loss." ”

"So the emperor wants my brother to go south...... Chase the King of Rui? Lin Qingluan was shocked when he heard this, "But the south is mountainous and the geography is different, how can my brother do it?" ”

"The main thing is that Beirong has been honest in the past half a year, and there are so many people in the Lin family's army stationed in northern Xinjiang, and the emperor probably has already moved their minds." Zhou Chuwan sighed in a low voice.

Lin Qingluan closed his eyes, if Beirong did not move and there was no war, it would be a good thing for everyone, but who would have thought that this would put Lin Yaochen in a more dangerous situation.

Ruiwang's people are no better than Beirong.

"This spring, Nan'an, Northwest, there are changes, only Beirong is probably because he has just surrendered to Cheng is very ......honest" Zhou Chuwan also guessed that the emperor might let Lin Yaochen go to the south, he recently rushed around the capital for this time, and even pulled out the garrisons around the capital and slipped away in front of the emperor, just hoping that the emperor could see this group of people.

But Shangguan Yan was probably still afraid of the Lin family......

"Maybe this time, he ordered him to return to Beijing, and his brother was not the only one." Zhou Chuwan sighed.

Lin Qingluan didn't understand what he meant for a while, but after a moment of doubt, he figured it out.

She got up: "He dares!" ”

But after thinking about it, why didn't Shangguan Yan dare!

Not only did he dare, but he would definitely give a direct order to let Lin Yaochen take some of the Lin family's army from the north to the south to chase after King Rui!

In this way, whether Lin Yaochen won and captured King Rui, or Lin Yaochen failed and damaged the Lin family's army, it was a good thing for Shangguan Yan!

He doesn't need a single soldier, and he can watch the tiger fight between the two sides while sitting in Beijing, isn't it happy!

Lin Qingluan gritted his teeth angrily: "Really, it's not a soldier he raised, he doesn't feel distressed......

"It's really not good, my people have also found a lot of news about King Rui over the years, and they can tell my brother when the time comes, and help him kill King Rui." Zhou Chuwan said.

Lin Qingluan subconsciously objected: "Wouldn't that be cheaper, Shangguan Yan!" ”

After saying that, she was helpless.

If not, then the soldiers who are waiting for King Rui to defeat the Lin family's army?

Lin Qingluan had a headache: "This matter ......"

"In this matter, there is less room for manoeuvre." Zhou Chuwan pondered and said, "Moreover, I am afraid that the emperor will also send a military general in Beijing to follow my brother to the south." ”

Kyochu military general? Lin Qingluan looked at Zhou Chuwan puzzled, and Zhou Chuwan explained to her carefully: "For example, the garrison, such as the Soldiers and Horses, there are generals in these places, and these generals are almost all the emperor's henchmen. ”

In the capital, he is in charge of the army, that is a knife next to Shangguan Yan's pillow, how can he be someone he doesn't trust?

Lin Qingluan suddenly understood: "He wouldn't be thinking-"

His henchmen do the main job, let Lin Yaochen be the assistant, and then take the life of the Lin family army to fight with King Rui to defend his country?

More conspiracy theories, what if Shangguan Yan wants to keep Lin Yaochen in Beijing this time?

The sword has no eyes, and it is too simple to make a person unable to get on a horse and fight again.

Lin Qingluan suddenly felt cold in her teeth, she somewhat understood what Shangguan Yan meant.

In this life, because of her concession and the Lin family's surrender, Shangguan Yan may not directly kill the Lin family, but he will not let go of the Lin family easily, and will torture them little by little, so that the Lin family will completely lose the military power in the northern Xinjiang.

"If the emperor's will is really like this, then ...... I can only take the risk. Zhou Chudui hugged Lin Qingluan and said with a sigh.

Lin Qingluan slowly closed his eyes, understanding what he meant.

Also...... That's all there is to it.

On the third day when Lin Qingluan accompanied the Queen Mother to the mountain to worship the Buddha, the emperor issued a decree to the northern Xinjiang, asking Lin Yaochen to return to Beijing with 3,000 Lin family troops to support the imperial court's pursuit plan to the south.

Things got to the worst, and when Lin Qingluan got the news, he happened to kneel in front of the Buddha.

She was silent, looked up at a huge statue of Buddha, and couldn't help but say in a low voice: "My Lin family has been loyal and patriotic for generations, and I am not afraid of being shrouded in horse leather on the battlefield, but I am afraid that the emperor will be jealous and will not die well." If the Buddha has a spirit, I beg you to save your brother this time......"

It was the first time for Lin Qingluan to bow down to the Buddha so devoutly, but his heart was uneasy but it was always difficult to shake it off.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, this time it was Zhou Chuwan who went to the north to announce the decree to Lin Yaochen with the emperor's order.

In June, Lin Yaochen, the general who received the order of the capital, arranged the affairs of the northern frontier, led a team of 3,000 cavalry, and rushed to Beijing day and night.

Lin Qingluan has already arrived in the other palace, her symptoms of the bitter summer this year have improved a lot, in addition to going to the Queen Mother to say goodbye and visit Concubine Yun every day, she is teaching Shangguan Yanglan to read, as if she is living a very leisurely life.

But when she was alone, she could barely sleep, looking forward to getting news from Lin Yaochen every day, but she was afraid of hearing Lin Yaochen's news.

The Queen Mother saw Shangguan Yanglan more often, and she also had a little more love for this eldest granddaughter, and this day was unprecedented to leave Shangguan Yanglan for lunch.

Lin Qingluan happened to encounter the inconvenience of a small day, and returned to his residence after confessing to the Queen Mother.

The body was unwell, but he couldn't put more ice, the heat was unbearable, Lin Qingluan was even more irritable in his heart, lying on the bed and tossing and turning, just feeling that something was about to happen.

She only felt that her chest was beating so badly, and she couldn't help persuading herself, she and Zhou Chuwan had already expected this situation, and they had prepared a plan to deal with it, and now they were waiting for the news from the north that everything would be fine-

The irritability of the persuasion just now was a little better, but there was a loud "bang" outside, and after a while, An Lan hurriedly ran in.

Her face was very ugly, and when she saw Lin Qingluan, her face was even more panicked, as if she didn't know how to speak.

It was expected that Lin Qingluan felt her heart beat to her throat, and the bad premonition became stronger and stronger, she was almost choked and speechless, only her hands tightly picked at the quilt, staring at An Lan with wide eyes, waiting for a verdict.

An Lan opened his mouth several times, and it took him a long time before he could make a sound: "In the palace...... Message came ......"

Lin Qingluan waited without blinking.

"General...... On the way back...... Attacked ......"

An Lan stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence, "Encountered, a group of bandits ......"

"Brother, he ......" Lin Qingluan's voice trembled, almost forgetting to breathe.

"General...... Fell off the horse, legs ...... Leg ......" An Lan swallowed, "Follow the general, the three thousand people who came back together......"

Lin Qingluan's fingers were so hard that he actually cut a hole in the quilt.

Her voice became hoarse: "How? ”

"Half of it...... Dead or captured, there are less than a thousand people left around the general, and they are coming to Beijing......" An Lan said this, as if he was choked by something, and he couldn't speak again.

Lin Qingluan took a big breath, trying to calm his heartbeat, and could only persuade himself repeatedly, it's okay, it's okay, it's all something that was discussed before.

My brother fell and injured his leg, no matter how severe it is, he can't go south again, and there are only so many people left in the Lin family's army, and the emperor can't put all the heavy responsibilities on the Lin family's army-

But Lin Qingluan still felt that something was wrong, her sluggish brain took a long time to turn, and it took a long time to realize that An Lan's reply seemed to be missing someone: "What about Zhou Chudui?" Isn't he with his brother? ”

Asking like this, Lin Qingluan subconsciously felt that Zhou Chuwan would be fine, after all, they were in the plan......

In their plan, there is no Zhou Chudu!

Lin Qingluan was thinking distraughtly, An Lan trembled, and finally said the last sentence: "Zhou Shizi...... Missing, whereabouts unknown......"

Lin Qingluan was startled, her lower abdomen instantly ached, she opened her lips, and wanted to say something, but in the next moment, she fell into boundless darkness.
