Chapter 131: Multi-party calculations

"Now you are also a person of rank, although you are not as good as those female officials, but the opportunity to enter the palace in the future is indispensable."

Lin Cang took off his court clothes, and Zhang Yurao hurriedly put away his clothes.

"I'm not worried about this, but I heard that Brother Cang is going to the Eastern Wilderness City to quell the bandits, it's very chaotic over there, you have to be careful."

Zhang Yurao's face was very worried.

The Zhang family originally had business dealings with the Eastern Wilderness City, but it was because of the bandits in the Eastern Wilderness that they were in trouble.

Most of the merchants have gone and never returned, and there is no way to sue.

It is also for this reason that Donghuang City was blacklisted by Kyushu merchants.

Lin Cang touched her head dotingly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm blessed with a great life, and I'll be fine." ”

Hearing this, the worry on Zhang Yurao's face increased instead of decreasing.

At this time, Liu Er heard the sound and walked over.

Poof.

Liu Er knelt directly on the ground, her beautiful eyes were slightly red, and her voice trembled and said, "Thank you, my lord, for being willing to go to the East Wilderness City to quell the bandits." ”

She bowed to Lin Cang, and Lin Cang hurriedly helped her up.

Liu Er looked at Lin Cang with affection, and said softly: "Liu Er's family is in the Eastern Wilderness, please take Liu Er with you, Liu Er will definitely not cause trouble to the adults." ”

Lin Cang smiled: "If you want to go, you can go, what is this." ”

Hearing this, Liu Er instantly burst into tears and smiled, and her heart was full of gratitude to Lin Cang.

Seeing Lin Cang's heartless appearance, Zhang Yurao couldn't help but sneer, "It's dangerous there, you should be serious." ”

Turning his head to look at Liu Er, he instructed: "Since you follow Brother Cang, you must take a good look at Brother Cang, and don't let him commit it alone." ”

Lin Cang hugged Zhang Yurao and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it'll definitely be fine." ”

As he spoke, he walked over to the cabinet, took out a small sandalwood box, and took out Zhang Jiaozi from inside.

handed it to Zhang Yurao's hand, and said with a smile: "This is the Jiaozi of Xinghe Qianzhuang, there are five hundred taels of gold in it, and I will use it for a few of you to buy your clothes." ”

Xiaoqing's eyes widened in disbelief, and she said in surprise: "Five hundred taels of gold? This is enough to buy the entire Zhangjia Commercial Bureau, what kind of outfit can you use these? ”

Xiaobai also hurriedly surrounded him, scrambling to look at the Jiaozi, swallowed his saliva, and said with a smile: "Brother Cang, it's the first time I've felt so much money up close." ”

is not just a little Lori, Rao is Zhang Yurao, who has seen the big world, and her face has changed dramatically.

That's when it happened.

The little guy guarding the door ran over in a panic.

"Master, madam, there is someone in the palace, please go to the outer hall to receive the order quickly."

....

The next day, early in the morning.

Lin Cang got up early in the morning and looked at the few old little heads in the bed.

The corners of his mouth were raised, and he tiptoed to finish dressing, and left the room alone.

There was a familiar and beautiful face in the front yard, standing there with a faint expression.

This woman is Emperor Liuguang, at this moment she is standing there with her back to Lin Cang, with a graceful figure, plump hips and thin waist, and her S-shaped curve is particularly annoying.

Lin Cang said coldly: "What is the princess doing here?" ”

Emperor Liuguang asked directly: "Why, can't you come if it's okay?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Cang smiled, and then led the person to the outer hall.

Lin Cang gave up his seat to Emperor Streamer and sat aside.

The little guy in the house hurriedly poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Emperor Liuguang took a sip of tea and said softly: "You eunuch will enjoy it." ”

Lin Cang also took a sip and said with a smile: "Let's talk about something directly." ”

After pouring the tea, the little guy retreated, and only Lin Cang and Emperor Liuguang were left in the hall.

"I'm going with you this time."

"Don't bother Your Highness the Princess, I'll handle it myself."

Lin Cang's expression was faint, and he didn't seem to want to go with Emperor Streamer at all.

He willingly went to the Eastern Wilderness to eliminate the bandits, and his main purpose was to build an army loyal to him.

The army formed in Great Xia before held high the banner of putting things in order and helping Nangong Tian regain control of Great Xia, and all the soldiers were concerned about Nangong Tian.

Lin Cang was purely busy in vain, watching his army being swallowed up by the Great Xia military camp.

This time, he has learned wisely, and he wants to build an army that is loyal to himself.

If you want to be king in this world, you must have a strong military force.

With the presence of Emperor Liuguang, the fourth princess of the Great Northern Wilderness, he will only let himself be constrained everywhere.

Emperor Liuguang said undoubtedly: "What this palace said is an order, and you can't afford to refuse." ”

This mission may seem simple, but in fact it is dangerous.

Local collusion is serious, and it is difficult to suppress that group of bureaucrats as Lin Cang, and it is easy to be directly assassinated by the other party.

Lin Cang accepted this task, not only risking his life, but also becoming a thorn in the side of Emperor Yin's henchmen, no matter how you look at it, it will do no harm.

"The lower officials only obey the orders of the empress."

Lin Cang said impatiently.

Emperor Liuguang gritted his teeth and scolded: "Okay! You are a dead eunuch, don't take this palace in your eyes, do you? ”

"Isn't it the will of the mother emperor, you wait for the palace."

Emperor Liuguang left the Zhangjia Courtyard in a huff.

A moment of effort.

The breakfast in the house was ready, and the little girls also woke up.

Several people sat around the table, Zhang Yurao personally scooped a bowl of porridge for Lin Cang, and asked with concern in her eyes: "It's about to be winter, I'll buy a few more winter clothes for the officials." ”

Lin Cang shook his head and said softly, "It's good to buy it over there." ”

At this time, Zhang Guangwu also came uninvited.

Lin Cang led the people to the outer hall.

"My lord, although the general of Zhenguo didn't make any movements on his face, the lower officials found that he had traces of transferring troops without permission."

Hearing this, Lin Cang was shocked, no wonder he always felt that the empress and the general of Zhenguo were in tension.

It turned out that this was the reason.

"In other words, the empress has long known about this matter, so she will send me to the Eastern Wilderness City, intending to suppress Emperor Yin's prestige?"

Zhang Guangwu nodded, "My lord, it is the most useful chess piece in the whole chess game." ”

Lin Cang said with a smile: "It is not certain who will kill the deer, Emperor Yin let go of the Eastern Wilderness belongs to letting the tiger return to the mountain, how can I, Lin Cang, be in charge of the Eastern Wilderness, how can I not set off the wind and waves?" ”

Zhang Guangwu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "The lord is wise, and the lower officials are willing to serve the dogs and horses for the adults." ”

Lin Cang lowered his eyes and sneered, and suddenly his aura was full, and his eyebrows exuded a strong majesty belonging to the superior.

Emperor Yin's power in the court is intertwined, and if the empress wants to get rid of it completely, she must take her time little by little.

The two major forces of the Great Northern Wilderness are facing each other head-on, and he can take this opportunity to quietly strengthen his power.

Lin Cang had a strong premonition that the empress wanted to completely replace Di Yin and take away the border defense forces of the Great Northern Wilderness.

Lin Cang could guess this, and it was impossible for Di Yin not to think of it.

Meanwhile.

General Zhenguo's Mansion.

Di Yin returned to the mansion, and unlike the luxury outside the general's mansion, the mansion was a piece of vegetarianism.

Everyone's eyes were scarlet, and their hearts were full of rage.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Di Yin sighed and said in a deep voice, "Has another brother been killed?" ”

Li Yanmei, who was wearing armor and was like a column of water, gritted her teeth and said, "It must be the empress, she sent someone to attack the general's mansion." ”

"For a few days, as long as it is the time of the general's early dynasty, there will be killers who will sneak attack the general's mansion."

"Before the general returned home, this group of killers left tacitly."

Li Yanmei's voice was low, and her eyes were full of hatred.

Di Yin clenched his fists tightly and said in a deep voice: "Go to the palace to report, General Ben will not be early in this time." ”

"General Ben wants to see, with General Ben here, who can still move my brother in the General's Mansion."

Li Yanmei bowed and said: "Obey!" ”

"Then Lin Cang is going to the Eastern Great Wilderness, do we still need to send someone to follow?"

Emperor Yin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The empress has already moved her mind to eradicate this general, and intends to cultivate Lin Cang. ”

"It's General Ben who looks down on Lin Cang, and he thought he was a eunuch who couldn't make any waves."

"I didn't think he would dare to take on the task of the Eastern Wilderness City, and he would obviously oppose General Ben."

The empress forbade him and his henchmen to go to the Eastern Wilderness, and she was already suppressing herself in the open.

The military strength of the imperial court was indeed strained, but it was not at all to the point where there were no troops available.

The empress directly acquiesced to Lin Cang's recruitment, just to help Lin Cang establish his power and replace herself.

In any case, Lin Cang can only die.

"The general and His Majesty fought all the way to the north and south, and made great contributions, and he and His Majesty are sisters of the same mother, and Your Majesty can't bear to attack the general."

Li Yanmei's face was pale, and she was dissatisfied with the emperor.

Di Yin sighed and smiled mockingly, "Hehe, General Ben must not let her be satisfied, General Ben must let her know that this Great Northern Wilderness is inseparable from General Ben." ”

Li Yanmei bowed and said: "The subordinates will definitely take the head of the dog thief and use his blood to repay the humiliation of the general during this time." ”

This matter is related to the life and death of the entire Zhenguo General's Mansion, and there must be no accidents under any circumstances.

The blade is imminent.

"This matter will be handed over to you, Lin Cang will leave in two days, and the safety of the general's mansion will be handed over to me."

The empress secretly killed the soldiers of the general's mansion, as the master of this group of people, he must not ignore the life and death of this group of people.

As a commander, if you don't care about the life and death of the soldiers below, it will only chill the hearts of the soldiers.

In the long run, no one wants to follow her.

She couldn't let that happen.

Only by guarding the General's Mansion in person can she put her heart in her stomach.

"Are you still stunned?"

Di Yin said coldly.

"It's just that you can't delay, why don't you hurry up and give the order to go down and kill the dog thief Lin Cang in an all-round way?"

Di Yin's tone was full of urging.

When Li Yanmei heard this, she was about to leave.

Di Yin's voice sounded again.

"You tell Ziguang, Jing Ran, you can't let them get involved in this matter."

"Don't tell them about the empress's criticism of us."

Emperor Ziguang and Emperor Jingran, one is Di Yin's apprentice, and the other is Di Yin's only daughter.

As a last resort, Di Yin will not let them get into danger.

"If the situation changes, take Jing Ran away first."

Hearing this, Li Yanmei was shocked, Di Yin even thought of a way out.

Do you really want to rebel?

....

Dadake.

Princess's House.

A woman in a flaming red dress pushed the door straight into the inner hall.

The palace people in the inner hall hurriedly saluted when they saw the woman.

"Welcome the princess home."

This woman is Dongfang Changxi, she didn't even look at this group of people, and went straight back to the bedroom with her sword.

At this moment, a man dressed in a gorgeous costume and wearing a mask walked from the room towards Dongfang Changxi.

looked at Dongfang Changxi with a smile on his face, "Come here, have you had lunch?" ”

Looking at the man in front of him, Dongfang Changxi's eyes became condensed.

He said in a deep voice: "Lin Cang is going to the Eastern Wilderness City to suppress bandits, whether you can seize this opportunity is up to you." ”

Hearing this, the man's eyes were scarlet, his fists were clenched, and his teeth were clenched.

Take off the mask on your face and reveal a hideous face.

This man is Nangong Jingheng, who fled to Dayue with the help of Dongfang Changxi.

His face was covered with hideous scars, one after another shocking, all of which were Lin Cang's masterpieces.

Nangong Jingheng had already taken Lin Cangken into his bones, and he couldn't wait to tear him to pieces immediately.

Dongfang Changxi looked at him with disdain in his eyes.

"You can't kill Lin Cang, and you don't have to come back."

Leaving this sentence, Dongfang Changxi slammed the door and left directly.

Nangong Jingheng looked at the departing back, sighed, put on the mask again and returned to the room.

In the past two days, the entire Great Northern Wilderness Military Department has been in a panic.

Shangshu and Shilang were arrested and imprisoned one after another.

Many lowly officials hurriedly resigned and left when they saw this.

Bai Danhe, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, was even more busy.

The mess of the entire military department was all in his hands.

The empress stared at the military department again, not allowing him to make any mistakes.

Every day, in addition to the internal signals of the military department, he also had to be interrogated by many parties, which had already exhausted him.

After a busy day, Bai Danhe finally left.

He came to his favorite noodle stall and ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles as usual.

The noodle stall owner looked at Bai Danhe and said with a smile: "My lord's taste has really been the same for decades." ”
