Chapter 169: Lin Wanyun who felt guilty
Hearing Lin Xiuming's question, Lin Wanyun said softly: "What does it have to do with me when the palace master goes back, I am not the palace master of Xuanyue Palace. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Wanyun glanced at Lin Xiuming, and then continued: "Isn't it good for the North King to let you stay in Yancheng, come to the restaurant of Xuanyue Palace every day to borrow wine to drown your sorrows. ”
Lin Xiuming said with a smile: "Sister Yun, you are a woman, you don't understand men's thoughts, if you can, I don't want to come to Beijun." ”
"Still don't talk about me, I have something I just want to tell you."
Lin Wanyun asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”
Lin Xiuming smiled and asked, "You should still be in the Beiwang Mansion now, right?" ”
Although Lin Wanyun is only a righteous daughter adopted by Lin Gaoyuan, the relationship between Lin Xiuming and Lin Wanyun is relatively harmonious, and Lin Wanyun once taught Lin Xiuming to practice martial arts.
Although Lin Wanyun has now left the Lin Mansion and joined the Xuanyue Palace, after the two of them saw each other, they could say anything clearly, don't feel how unfamiliar the other party is.
Lin Wanyun replied, "I am now the deputy commander of the guard of the inner courtyard of the North Palace. ”
Hearing Lin Wanyun's words, Lin Xiuming was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Lin Wanyun, a person from Xuanyue Palace, would actually become the deputy commander of the inner courtyard guard of the Northern Palace.
Although he is only a deputy commander, this is enough to prove how much the Northern King trusts Lin Wanyun and Xuanyue Palace, after all, Lin Wanyun is the protector of Xuanyue Palace and represents the interests of Xuanyue Palace.
Lin Xiuming said: "I didn't expect the North King to trust Xuanyue Palace so much, presumably there is some cooperation between the North King and Xuanyue Palace, right?" ”
Lin Wanyun suddenly became vigilant, and she immediately asked, "Xiuming, if you ask me these questions, could it be that my stepfather asked you to inquire?" ”
Lin Gaoyuan is now the left minister of the imperial court, he belongs to the people of the Great Xia Imperial Court, and Lin Xiuming is Lin Gaoyuan's son, Lin Xiuming suddenly asked about Xuanyue Palace, which had to make Lin Wanyun wonder if her father-in-law wanted to know something.
Or that Emperor Xia wanted to know something, and then let Lin Xiuming test himself.
Lin Xiuming immediately said: "It's not, I'm just curious and asking." ”
"By the way, Dad asked me to tell you, you are in your thirties this year, it's time to get married, and he thinks the king of the north is very good."
"It just so happens that you are the head of the guard in the inner courtyard of the North King's Mansion, and you can contact the North King."
Hearing Lin Xiuming's words, Lin Wanyun's beautiful eyes raised, her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said speechlessly: "Father-in-law really thinks so?" ”
"The king of the north is only seventeen years old, I am in my thirties this year, how can I marry the king of the north, my mother and the king of the north are sisters of the righteous marriage Jinlan, if we marry him, wouldn't the generations be messed up."
"What is the stepfather thinking, how can he have such a ridiculous idea?"
Seeing Lin Wanyun's reaction so big, Lin Xiuming said with a smile: "Sister, isn't that the princess of the Heavenly Wolf King also very old, isn't she also married to the King of the North." ”
"What's the thirties, my father said that the king of the north has lacked love since he was a child, and he likes mature women who are older, you see that Chu Yuqin is also very old, and he stays in the palace of the king of the north."
Lin Wanyun immediately said: "I don't care what my father-in-law thinks, you go back and talk to him, so that he can dispel this ridiculous idea as soon as possible." ”
"Now that I have chosen to join Xuanyue Palace, I have no plans to marry someone in this life, let alone marry a man who is more than ten years younger than me like Beiwang."
Lin Xiuming shrugged his shoulders, and then said, "Okay, I'll tell my father when I go back that you don't want to marry the King of the North." ”
Speaking of this, Lin Xiuming reminded: "Sister, although you are now a member of Xuanyue Palace, I still remind you that my father is already planning to support the Northern King, if Xuanyue Palace is unfavorable to the Northern King, you can do it yourself." ”
Hearing Lin Xiuming's words, Lin Wanyun was slightly stunned, and she asked in confusion: "I remember that my father-in-law has never been involved in matters related to the seizure of the heir, how could he support the King of the North?" ”
Lin Xiuming said lightly: "I don't know about this, it may be that he found that the potential of the North King is greater than the others, which is one of the reasons why he wants you to marry the North King." ”
"Of course, you have left the Lin family now, and who you want to marry is not something that your father can decide, at most, you can treat the Lin family as your mother's family when you get married."
Lin Wanyun is just Lin Gaoyuan's righteous daughter, plus she has left the Lin Mansion, she is fully capable of deciding her own life events, Lin Gaoyuan wants her to marry Lu Chen, it is just Lin Gaoyuan's personal thoughts.
Whether Lin Wanyun wants to or not, it is entirely up to Lin Wanyun to have the final say.
However, if Lin Wanyun is really willing to marry Lu Chen, then Lin Wanyun will definitely marry Lu Chen as Lin Gaoyuan's daughter, which is a political marriage for the Lin family.
Hearing Lin Xiuming's words, Lin Wanyun was a little glad that she had left the Lin Mansion and became the protector of the Xuanyue Palace, if she was still staying in the Lin Mansion now, I am afraid that her marriage would not be something she could decide.
Just as Lin Wanyun was about to continue to say something, a soldier knocked on the door and said, "General, the prince's people are looking for you!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiuming was stunned for a moment, he had been in Beijun for so long, and the King of Bei had never sent someone to find him.
Could it be that the war in the north is over, and the king of the north wants to let himself go back?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiuming immediately said, "Let him in." ”
Lin Wanyun was about to avoid it, Qin Yushan directly pushed the door in, he glanced at Lin Wanyun, and did not take Lin Wanyun to heart, and then turned his head to look at Lin Xiuming and said: "General Lin, the battle in Tianguang City is not optimistic, the prince asked you to immediately lead the 20,000 troops of the imperial court to the north to resist the barbarians." ”
Hearing this, Lin Wanyun and Lin Xiuming were stunned at the same time.
The war is not optimistic?
How is this possible?
Last time, the 50,000 heavy cavalry led by the King of the North wiped out the 300,000 army of the Heavenly Wolf King, how could it be that even the 200,000 army of the King of Beixian could not deal with it?
Really?
Lin Xiuming immediately asked, "Senior Qin, what is the current situation in Tianguang City?" ”
Qin Yushan said directly: "The prince's black cavalry suffered more than 40,000 casualties, and it only repelled the army of the King of Beixian, and at present, the army of the King of Beixian is still attacking Tianguang City from time to time. ”
"The defenders of Skylight City are exhausted, and they urgently need you to go and change their defenses."
This......
After hearing Qin Yushan's words, Lin Xiuming was a little confused.
The heavy cavalry of the Northern King was destroyed like this?
Are you kidding?
Although the heavy cavalry does not have much advantage in fighting the light cavalry on the grassland, it will definitely not have much disadvantage, and it is almost impossible for the army of the King of Beixian to eat a heavy cavalry of 50,000 people.
How could there be more than 40,000 dead and wounded?
More than 40,000 casualties means that this black cavalry has been completely abandoned.
Is it possible?
Qin Yushan's words were full of strangeness, but Lin Xiuming was not sure that what he said must be false, although the combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry was indeed very fierce, but anything could happen in the war, and the war situation was changing rapidly, for example, they did not expect that the Northern King would be able to defeat the 300,000 army of the barbarians.
So if you want to know the truth of this news, you still need to go to Skylight City, it just so happens that the North King has already asked them to go north, and they will soon know whether this news is true or false.
Lin Xiuming immediately got up and said, "I'll lead the soldiers north." ”
Speaking of this, Lin Xiuming took out the silver and put it on the table, and then directly returned to their temporary barracks with his soldiers.
After Lin Xiuming left, Lin Wanyun also hurriedly spread the heavy news she heard just now to Xuanyue Palace.
That's 50,000 heavy cavalry, and if you don't say it's gone, it's gone.
Beijun finally became stronger, and returned to the past so quickly.
This may be a major blow to Beijun, but for Xuanyue Palace, it is simply a great news for Chen Wanrong and them.
This finally allowed Xuanyue Palace to seize the opportunity to help the Northern King.
In the past, the Northern King had always kept the Xuanyue Palace, just because the Northern County already had 50,000 heavy cavalry and already had a very strong military strength, so there was no need to rely on the Xuanyue Palace at all.
Lu Chen himself has the strength to participate in the succession.
But now it's different, the heavy cavalry of the Northern King is gone, although the armor of the heavy cavalry may still be there, but it takes a very long time to train a heavy cavalry with strong combat effectiveness, not a month or two, but a year or two can be trained.
In the days when the Black Cavalry was rebuilt, the Northern County was relatively weak, and the Great Xia Imperial Court, as well as those vassal kings of Great Xia, would never allow the Northern King to rebuild the Black Cavalry.
Under pressure, the Northern King is very likely to choose to cooperate with Xuanyue Palace, so that Chen Wanrong will have the opportunity to get close to Lu Chen and give Lu Chen a love trick.
But I don't know why, Lin Wanyun was not very happy in her heart after letting people send the news out.
At this time, Lin Wanyun looked at the flying snow outside the window, and kept replaying the memories of Lu Chen in her mind, and she had been thinking about a question recently, that is, did she really want to help Chen Wanrong return to the country, and then hurt her good sister's biological son?
Although Lu Chen is not as important to her as Chen Wanrong in her heart, if something really happens to Lu Chen, will she still have the face to face Chu Yue after she dies?
If it weren't for Chu Yue back then, she would probably have died a long time ago, and she would not have become Lin Gaoyuan's righteous daughter.
She and Bai Qingqing's backgrounds are very similar, they were both picked up by Chu Yue on the street, to be precise, Bai Qingqing should be similar to her, because she met Chu Yue earlier than Bai Qingqing.
The only difference between her and Bai Qingqing is that she was sent to the Lin Mansion and became Lin Gaoyuan's righteous daughter, while Bai Qingqing was taken by Chu Yue to the palace to be Lu Chen's maid.
Although she and Bai Qingqing went to different places, Chu Yue was not much worse than Bai Qingqing, during her days in the Lin Mansion, Chu Yue often came to see her, and their relationship was extremely close.
Chu Yue saved her, and treated her as her own sister, but now she wants to hurt her own son, thinking of this, Lin Wanyun felt a deep sense of guilt in her heart.
At this moment, Lin Wanyun seemed to see Chu Yue's shadow in the snow, and Chu Yue seemed to be saying something to her.
Lin Wanyun stayed where she was, trying to hear what Chu Yue said to herself.
When she was in a daze, Chu Yue's voice seemed to really come to her ears.
"Yunyun...... Help me...... Take care of ...... Chen'er ......"
Lin Wanyun was stunned.
Suddenly came back to his senses.
At this time, there was still heavy snow outside the window, but there was no longer Chu Yue's figure, Lin Wanyun sighed slightly and rubbed her temples.
Recently, I have been under so much pressure that I have not only hallucinations, but also auditory hallucinations.
……
After Lin Xiuming returned to the barracks, he gathered the soldiers, and after counting the soldiers, he went north overnight.
He didn't know what the situation was in Tianguang City, but since the North King had let him go north, it probably meant that the situation in the north was indeed not good.
He is a member of the imperial court, representing the imperial court, and Beijun has so many secrets, if he goes north, those secrets of Beijun are likely to be seen by him and the army of the imperial court.
That's why the North King let them stay in Yancheng at the beginning, if it wasn't for the special urgency, the North King would never let him go north at the risk of exposing the secrets of the North County.
At this time, Lin Xiuming also seriously doubted that the 50,000 heavy cavalry of the Northern King had really been exhausted.
If he really runs out, he has to hurry up and hurry north, this is a good opportunity for him to make war exploits.
Last time, he came to Beijun to carry the body of Beiwang, but after returning to the capital, he was ridiculed by many friends, saying that he was a corpse movers.
This time he came to Beijun, how could he go back with some military merits, if he returned to the capital empty-handed this time, wouldn't he be ridiculed as a transport worker.
As for whether Tianguang City is dangerous or not, this is no longer something that Lin Xiuming is considering.
There is nothing that is not dangerous to fight.
How could a manly man be afraid to go to the battlefield because of this danger?
Just when Lin Xiuming was enthusiastic and anxious to go north to make military achievements, he found that the road to the north had been covered by heavy snow.
Although they were cavalry, it was still difficult for them to advance.
Looking at the army advancing at a rapid pace, Lin Xiuming was dumbfounded.
At this time, he couldn't help but want to scold his mother, how much shit was in the mind of King Beixian, and then he fucking thought of going south to attack Beijun in winter.
With this heavy snowfall, is the army of the King of Beixian moving?
At this time, Lin Xiuming's henchmen came to him and said, "General, according to the current pace of advancement, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to reach Tianguang City in less than a month, is the current situation in Tianguang City really urgent?" ”
Lin Xiuming frowned and said, "Speed up and move forward, go as fast as you can, there is a high probability that something has really happened to Tianguang City." ”
There was no way, in this situation they could only try to go to Skylight City.
At this moment, a scout soldier came to Lin Xiuming, "General, there is a situation ahead!" ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiuming immediately asked, "Bring General Ben over!" ”
Immediately, the scout soldiers immediately took Lin Xiuming to a place where there was an abnormality.
The anomaly that the scout said refers to the footprints and rut marks on the snow, although the heavy snow has covered those marks, but they can still be barely seen, and these marks are most likely only present in the past two days.
Looking at the snow marks trampled by the endless horses in front of him, the expression on Lin Xiuming's face kept changing.
