Chapter 138: The Beginning of the Dawn
"Where, this is the responsibility of the little brother, I understand." Lin San hurriedly said. When the little official heard him say this, and saw that his expression was not fake, he was overjoyed, "Sir, please, I'm afraid I'm already waiting for you." The little official told him to retreat.
Lin San raised his feet and stepped into the living room, and saw a person sitting in the main seat in the living room, this person was upright, burly and drinking tea, isn't this Lin Jian, the change is so big, Lin San is very determined. He looked around, but there was no outsider. Lin San smiled and nodded at Lin Jian, and Lin Jian also nodded to say hello.
"In Xia Lin San, meet General Lin" Lin San saluted respectfully. Although it is a distant relative, the etiquette that should be there is still to be done, after all, there is a request for others.
Lin Jian looked at Lin San and said, "Uncle Lin doesn't have to be polite, I don't know what Uncle Lin is looking for me," Speaking of this, Lin Jian looked at Lin San who was doing it at the moment, and was puzzled in his heart. How did he know I was here?
"Lin is here today for my lord," Lin San said.
"Who is Uncle Lin's master?" Lin Jian couldn't help but interrupt with some confusion, and then felt that he was a little rude again, and hurriedly continued, "Oh, Uncle Lin, please continue." ”
"My lord is Ling Cao, a subordinate of Sun Ce in Jiangdong before, who fought with your army before, and after the defeat, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Please also ask General Lin Kaien to help me find out. Lin San lowered his head and said.
Lin Jian frowned and said, "Ling Cao? Oh, I remembered. He was not killed, but was taken into custody by my father-in-law. It seems that the lord is quite polite to him. ”
When Lin San heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Lord Lin said a word, and I am very grateful. ”
Lin Jian smiled: "It's not a big deal, the lord didn't give a gag order, and I don't know why." ”
Lin San suddenly knelt down and said: "General Lin, please see if our relatives can help me intercede, let the master live, and how much you want to pay, as long as we can meet it, we must be satisfied." ”
Lin Jian was taken aback, and muttered in his heart: "This Uncle Lin is really bold, he actually opened his mouth and wanted the lord to let Ling Cao go?" ”
Lin Jian frowned and said, "Uncle Lin, aren't you embarrassing me?" Don't you know that Ling Cao is an enemy general, how can you let it go easily, this is not something I can influence with a word, and the lord never let me interfere in such a matter. ”
Lin San said: "I know that this matter must be a difficult general, but as far as I know, Mrs. Liu guards your thousand commanders as siblings, as long as you open your mouth to intercede, you will be able to succeed." ”
Hearing Lin San mention this, Lin Jian's face instantly turned cold, and he said in his heart: "The lord treats me like a mountain, how can I infringe on the interests of my lord for my own sake." ”
Lin Jian's face was bruised, and there was a little chill in his eyes, but he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I can't do anything." ”
Lin San didn't think much about this matter, and said respectfully on his face: "Since the adults have said so, I can't either, but I will retreat to the second, I hope you can see the face of our relatives and let the young master of my family see the side of your father-in-law." ”
Lin Jian said: "Oh, if that's the case, you can give it a try." You just ask him to come with me to the Taishou Mansion tomorrow. ”
Lin San said: "Thank you general." ”
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Lin San claimed that it was inconvenient to disturb and left.
Lin Jian looked at the gift left by Lin San and said, "For the sake of my family, I will help you with this, I hope you don't get carried away." The lord is my benefactor, if you dare to be a little disrespectful, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings, and I will kill you when the time comes. ”
Lin San, who had obtained the letter, hurried back all the way back and gave a detailed explanation to Ling Tong.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Ling Tong got up early and prepared to go to the Taishou Mansion to meet Liu Xun.
"Mother is above, I am going to leave today, I don't know if I live or die, please accept three bows" Ling Tong on the ground knelt in the direction of his mother's departure, and knocked his head three times in a row, "Young master, wait a minute, take good care of yourself, but don't rush into Taishou, otherwise we will definitely be in danger." ”
"Uncle Lin, please rest assured, it will be fine, and please rest assured." Ling Tong said.
At this time, Lin San nodded and said. "Let's go, then."
Taishou House
"Grass people, I've seen Lord Taishou." Two figures knelt on the ground, one of them was Lin Jian, a celebrity who was now guarding Liu Xun in Lujiang, and the other was about seven feet tall but had a childish face, this person was none other than Ling Tong, who Liu Xun had long hoped to wear.
Life is really strange, I didn't find him before, but now I sent it to the door by myself. It is really intentional to arrange flowers that do not bloom, and unintentionally to insert willows and willows.
"Oh, here we go,"
The lazy man lying on the chair glanced at Ling Tong, who was kneeling at his feet, and sighed softly as if he had just woken up, then got up slightly and said to Ling Tong, who was kneeling in front of him.
"You are Ling Tong, the son of Ling Cao that Lin Jian said? Listen to Lin Jian say that you want Ben Taishou to let your father go? ”
Although it was a few plain questions, it naturally carried the temperament and majesty of a high-ranking person.
"Hui Taishou, the grass people are Ling Tong, the son of Ling Cao, as Lord Lin said, I really hope that you can raise your noble hand and let my father go, in the future, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you, even if I pay my life for this life, I will never regret it. If Taishou doesn't agree, he will either kill me today, or I will use this life to seek revenge on you. ”
When Lin San came back yesterday, he had already told him that Ling Cao was still alive. At this moment, Ling Tong knelt on one knee, but his body was straight, his eyebrows were raised, and his face was full of seriousness.
"Bold, you, how can you be so arrogant......" Lin Jian on the side saw that Ling Tong actually dared to face the lord directly, and he also said these rebellious cruel words, and immediately reprimanded.
Liu Xun waved his hand disappreciatively to stop Lin Jian from continuing. "Are you really willing to sacrifice everything you have to save your father, and are willing to be a cow and a horse for me?" ”
"As long as you are willing to let my father go, I am willing to do anything, I can kill people and set fires, even if you want my life." Ling Tong said loudly.
Liu Xun couldn't help laughing heartily and said, "Haha, what do I want your child's life for?" Your father is a fierce general, and he is an enemy of me, after all, Jiangdong has just been pacified, and it is not a trivial matter for me to let him out rashly. But I deeply admire you for having such filial piety, and I can give you a chance at this point. What are you capable of exchanging you for your father, can you tell me about it? ”
When Ling Tong heard this, he couldn't help but be a little at a loss, and said, "Eh, my lord." Although I am young, I have already practiced martial arts, and I think I will be able to do my part for Lord Taishou in the army. I wonder if this is possible? ”
"Hehe, this is naturally okay, it seems that you are still quite confident in your own force. In that case, let's take a look at your own personal guards, and I'll have to see how good you are to decide. I don't know what you think? ”
Liu Xun couldn't help but hesitate when he said this, and glanced at the young man kneeling in front of him, according to later generations, this is obviously a half-old child, but looking at the confidence on his face, and his reputation in history. Liu Xun was suddenly full of anticipation and wanted to see his current performance,
Seeing that it was a martial arts competition, Ling Tong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but hold his head high, and said proudly, "My lord, I don't have an opinion, boy, please be too careful." ”
Liu Xun laughed, and then shouted to Wang Hao
"Go find a few people."
"If" Wang Hao glanced at Ling Tong on the ground, and walked out quickly.
But in a moment, there were guards rushing in and standing by.
"Alright, let's go to school."
"If" the guards got Liu Xun's order and went down, before leaving, they glanced at Ling Tong, and said in their hearts that it was really a victory to compete with such a little kid.
Ling Tong naturally didn't pay attention to this strange gaze, and now he couldn't help but change his opinion on Liu Xun in front of him, "It seems that this Liu Xun is not as bad as others say, and now after contact, I feel that he is okay in the world, and it is definitely not as unbearable as the legend." ”
But in a moment, the group came to the school grounds
"Boy Ling Tong, how is it, how is my personal guard?" Liu Xun pointed to a team of guards standing neatly in the school yard and said,
Lin Jian, Wang Hao and the others on the side were all confused, and they really couldn't figure it out, the lord didn't know why his interest had been very high after seeing Ling Tong today, couldn't he be enchanted?
"Elite indeed." Ling Tong said bluntly.
"The last general has seen the lord," the ten people bowed and said.
"Get up, let me ask you, are you sure you can win against the boy next to me?" Liu Xun asked with a smile.
"Hui Taishou, my ten people are all elites, and it shouldn't be difficult to win against this young man." The head of the ten said with certainty.
"Well, that's good, I called you here today to ask you to compete with this Ling boy." Liu Xun's eyes narrowed slightly and said,
"If"
"Don't underestimate him, this kid is the son of the fierce general Ling Cao, I heard that the martial arts are extraordinary, you don't take it lightly." Liu Xun kindly reminded that after all, it was his own personal guard, so he naturally didn't want them to lose face.
But looking at the disbelief on the faces of the ten people, they could only sigh secretly. "Wait a minute, don't blame your father-in-law for not reminding you."
Not to mention that the ten people don't believe it, the ten people present don't believe it in their hearts, isn't it where did the rich boy come from, thinking that he has learned one or two kung fu and is so arrogant, and he will have to teach this kid a lesson later, so that he knows how high the sky is and how thick it is.
Liu Xun smiled and said, "Wait a minute, how about you send one of the guards to compete with Ling Tong first?" ”
The chief of the ten said, "Everything is according to the orders of the lord. ”
In the eyes of the ten chiefs, Ling Tong is just a little taller, and he is essentially just a child who has not grown up, and if one person dares to come to our personal guard to compete, let me teach this kid who dares to deceive the lord a lesson.
"How's the kid, what weapon do you need?" Liu Xun didn't look back, just asked lightly,
"Returning to Taishou, just give me a pair of armor and a spear." Ling Tong's request was simple, but it showed his self-confidence.
