Chapter 4: Salute before Soldiers

In the palace of Jizhou Palace, a middle-aged man with a thin figure and elegant demeanor is sitting by the pond behind the study to release fish. When he is fine, this Lord Hou of Jizhou always likes to watch the koi fish that he has fed since childhood by the pond of his own house. Watching their graceful bodies play happily in the water will make you feel calm and soothed.

"Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock" There was a sharp knock on the door. Wang Pingchuan immediately got up and hurriedly walked towards the door of the study. If it weren't for something important and urgent, the family wouldn't have been so bold to disturb themselves.

"Master, master, it's not good, something is wrong. Before Wang Pingchuan reached the door of the study, he heard the urgent report of the steward.

Wang Pingchuan walked to the door and immediately opened the door and asked eagerly, "Why are you so panicked?"

"It's a big deal, sir, today my house received a box from Qizhou, I waited until I knew that you were in the study, and I didn't dare to disturb you, so I reported to Mrs. to go to the guest hall to check. ”

Madame opened the box and fainted. ”

"The little lady fainted and knew that something big must have happened, so I hurried to call you. "Go and check it out. The old steward said anxiously.

Wang Pingchuan drove to the guest hall.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Wang Pingchuan asked eagerly!

"Master, son, he... Childe, heβ€”" The maid pointed to the open box beside Madame Wang in a trembling voice.

"What's wrong with Childe?" Wang Pingchuan turned to look at the box beside him. Suddenly, his eyes widened! His brain exploded like a thunderbolt on a sunny day! Immediately, his body fell behind him with a limp.

The maid hurriedly supported Wang Pingchuan's paralyzed body.

"Liang'er, my son! Han Lin, you return my son..." Wang Pingchuan sat on the ground and howled loudly!

The maid beside her trembled, and handed out a letter with trembling hands. The four big characters on the letter introduced Wang Pingchuan's eyes: "Wang Pingchuan personally opened!"

Wang Pingchuan opened the letter with trembling hands: "Your son Wang Liang harmed people's lives in my Qizhou and violated my Qizhou rules. I have carried out the family law on behalf of Lord Hou. Now I will return Wang Liang's head to you! ”

"Han Lin, Han Lin, you really taught a good son!"

"You Qizhou has such big rules!"

"I was cut off first!"

"Your son is really a great official!"

"Since I took over Jizhou, the well water of Jiqi and Jiqi does not interfere with river water!"

"I respect you as my former superior, strictly discipline me at the junction of Jizhou and your Qizhou, and never cross the line!"

"You actually let my son be killed by your son in your Qizhou!"

"I, Wang Pingchuan, will not take revenge and swear not to be a man!" Wang Pingchuan gritted his teeth and said viciously!

......

Two days after arranging Wang Liang's funeral, the palace welcomed a special guest.

This person is wearing an upper body and carrying thorns.

After seeing the scars on this person's body and the fierce aura on his body, the two housekeepers at the gate hurriedly let him go.

The man let out a cold snort, and then swaggered into the palace alone.

"Lao Wang, Lao Wang is not here, your brother has come to see you, come out and let's talk about the old days. A bold voice echoed in the palace.

"Where did the rough man come from, and he didn't look at where this was, he dared..."Before the family could finish his words, he was stopped by the old steward.

The old steward has lived for such a long time and has seen more of the world, so he is naturally not impulsive like those young and strong family members. Since they dare to break into the palace alone, they must not be people who can be offended by slaves like them.

"Who are you? What are you looking for my lord? The old steward said politely.

The man with thorns on his back laughed and said, "Old man, just tell him that when his stupid big brother is here, he will naturally come out to see me." ”

The old steward saw that this person looked rough, but he was decent in conversation, and he was even more sure that this person was by no means an idle person. Then he bowed his hand and said: "Strong man, you will go to the guest hall with the maid to wait first, and I will go and inform the master." ”

The man said in a cool voice, "Okay." ”

Wang Pingchuan, who was in the midst of sadness, sat by the pond, and only by looking at the calm lake and a few koi fish idling in the water could the pain in his heart be slightly diluted.

"Knock knock... Knock knock..."A gentle knock on the door came into Wang Pingchuan's ears, and Wang Pingchuan immediately got up and rushed to the door of the study!

"What's wrong, Old Li, what's going on?"

"Isn't it that Madame is overgrieved and has defected?" Wang Pingchuan asked the old steward eagerly.

"No, sir, a guest has come to visit you. The old steward said respectfully.

"I'm not in the mood to meet guests right now, so let's go. ”

"If there's no urgency, don't bother me again! Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings!" Wang Pingchuan was angry for the first time at this steward who had helped him take care of the palace for many years.

"Sir, it's not my old man who wants to disturb you when you're grieving. ”

"That man asked me to tell you that your stupid bear brother is here and asked you to catch up on the old days. The old steward knelt on his knees and said in a trembling voice.

Wang Ping's face was stunned at first, and then there was anger, pain, and hideous expression!

Wang Pingchuan roared hoarsely: "Okay, you Han Lin, I won't go looking for you, but you will send it to the door!"

...

"Oh, my brother Wang, I finally saw you, and I miss my brother to death. Han Lin walked towards the menacing Wang Pingchuan, and did not look at the other party's face, but went up and hugged Wang Pingchuan in his arms.

"Brother Wang. Brother, I can't help you. β€œ

"That little brute of mine did such a hurtful thing. ”

"My nephew Wang Liangxian was actually killed by this brute, and I was very sad when I heard the news!"

He immediately beat the brute to the punch. ”

"After the beating, I still can't relieve the anger in my heart, when I think of my virtuous brother's only son dying tragically in my Qizhou, my heart is sad and guilty!"

"The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I threw that little beast directly to the border of the northern border of my Qizhou, and let the beasts in the ice field divide his body and eat him to relieve the hatred in my heart..."

Wang Pingchuan's indifferent face finally eased a little when he heard that Han Shi was thrown to the ice field to die.

The more Han Lin said, the more sad his face became: "Brother." I know that even if I take my son to die, it will not dissipate the grief in your heart. ”

"I'm an elder brother, I know you're sad. ”

"I really can't rest assured of you, that is, after disposing of that little beast, I came to visit you alone overnight. ”

"You saw this thing on my back, too. ”

"I'm guilty of pleading. The second is to come and see my good brother. ”

"You can beat me up, Brother Wang, so that my heart can be a little better. ”

Han Lin said that he didn't care about his identity, and he directly knelt in front of Wang Pingchuan on the spot.

Seeing this, Wang Pingchuan immediately stretched out his hand to support Han Lin, who was about to kneel, and said eagerly: "Brother, you are tormenting me, brother!"

"Brother, how can I afford it!"

"Get up quickly, don't do this to trample on your brotherhood!"

"You gave me this life back then!"

"Without you, how can I be Wang Pingchuan today!"

Han Lin's face was full of old tears, and he still insisted on kneeling. He cried loudly and said, "Good brother, if you don't accept my apology, then you will deny me as a brother." ”

Wang Pingchuan's thin body could support the fat Han Lin. only listened to an ordinary sound, and this powerful general of the Luofeng Empire actually fell to his knees with a thud. Wang Pingchuan immediately knelt on the ground with Han Lin's ordinary sound.

"Big brother, don't you really want me as a brother?"

"I was dug out of the pile of corpses by you, and I, Wang Pingchuan, will never dare to forget your kindness, eldest brother!"

"Although you and I are brothers with different surnames, the pair of brothers in the womb in the world can have this friendship between you and my brothers!"

"Could it be that because of the affairs of the younger generation, you and I will turn against each other?"

"Get up!"

"If you can't afford it, I'll kill myself in front of you on the spot as a brother!"

Wang Pingchuan said that he pulled out the delicate short saber at his waist...

"Brother, you can't do it. Hurriedly grabbed Wang Pingchuan's hand and exclaimed.

"Then big brother, get up quickly, don't do this act that hurts my brother's righteousness!" Wang Pingchuan said with red eyes and trembling voice.

"Good brother, you are really a person who understands righteousness. Brother, I'll get up now!"

"Hurry up and withdraw your sword, don't scare my brother and me. ”

"I lost my nephew Wang Liangxian, if you have three longs and two shorts, brother, I can only spend the rest of my life in guilt, remorse, and pain. Han Lin helped Wang Pingchuan to get up and said earnestly.

"Big brother, you came from afar, and you are tired from traveling for a long time, so I will arrange for you to pick up the wind. ”

"You and my brother haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and tonight we must drink and talk about joy and not get drunk and not return!" Wang Pingchuan's face was full of joy, and he hugged Han Lin and said loudly.

Han Lin unloaded the thorns he was carrying, and said boldly, "Okay!"

...

In the study, Wang Pingchuan and the strategist Zhang Ju sat in front of the window.

"Han Lin's old puppet came to my palace alone today, and I want to avenge the murder of my son. ”

"Tonight, I will drink and have fun with Han Lin Pifu in the Yangui Pavilion of my house, and then order the family of my house to kill him in the banquet. ”

"What do you think, sir?" Wang Pingchuan said indifferently.

Zhang Jumo rubbed his gray beard and said, "Gongzi was harmed by Han Lin's son, not Han Lin." ”

"And Han Lin's guilty of pleading for Jing today is actually to show you that this was done by his son, not by him, Han Lin. ”

"He expelled his son to Qizhou Biansai, which is an explanation for you. ”

"So this is a personal grudge between Gongzi and Han Shi, and it has nothing to do with his Han family. ”

This is where he Han Lin is so smart. ”

Wang Pingchuan slapped the table, shaking the teacup on the table to the ground, and shattered with a "pop". Sharply said: "What a deportation!"

"To put it nicely, it's deportation and let it live and die!"

"Actually, it's just for show!"

"What about the guilt of the thorn plea? This is him jumping into the fire by himself!"

"You can't blame me!"

"If you don't kill Han Lin, it's hard to vent the hatred in my heart!"

Zhang Ju said flatly: "I think this matter should be considered in the long run, and don't be carried away by anger." ”

"Then since Han Lin dared to go to the palace alone, he must have his own way out. ”

"If the lord insists on killing Han Lin, then the two families will be completely dead-skinned. β€œ

"Then the ironclad soldiers who are attacking in Qizhou have a way to parry?"

"Ever since the old man followed the lord, the lord has been honest with me. I'll take care of all the affairs of the army."

"Yesterday, the old man got the news from Jiqi Biansai, the moment Han Lin entered my Jizhou, the Han family transferred 100,000 troops to be stationed in Jizhou Biansai, waiting to welcome Han Lin back. ”

"Han Lin's hand is called saluting first and then soldiering. ”

"In the past, we have always underestimated Han Lin, thinking that he was just a reckless man, and it was all by luck that he climbed to his current position. ”

"In fact, it is a failure, and it is golden. ”

"First of all, he chased his son to the ice field, and let him live and die. ”

Later, he ignored his identity and pleaded guilty to the palace. ”

In this way, he Han Lin has won the hearts of the people. ”

"If the lord insists on killing Han Lin and washing away the hatred of killing his son, then the tuyere of moral public opinion is one-sided towards the Han family. ”

"In this way, his Han family's army has stepped on Jizhou, and he has also become famous!"

"This battle, before it even started, we lost. ”

"Han Lin's hand is really powerful. ”

Wang Pingchuan lowered his head in frustration and said, "Could it be that my son died in vain?"

"I'm a father, and I'm a state marquis. ”

"The murderer sat swaggering in my house, and I did nothing. also force a smile and call him a brother. ”

"If Liang'er has knowledge under the spring, how can he turn his eyes away. ”

Zhang Ju said flatly: "Naturally, you can't give up. β€œ

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. ”

"Don't be in a hurry and ruin your plan. ”

"The four counties of Luofeng are the leaders of the Han family in Qizhou. ”

"Kyoto has long been on guard against the Han family. ”

"The reason why he didn't attack the Han family was because he was afraid that the other three counties except Qizhou were all controlled by his subordinates brought out by Han Lin. ”

"The news of Childe's murder must have reached the royal family long ago. ”

"The four counties are in harmony with each other, and they are undoubtedly what the royal family is most happy to see. ”

"How could the royal family let go of this wonderful opportunity to eradicate the Han family. ”

"We just have to wait quietly for the royal side to make a move. ”

"In less than a month, the royal family will inevitably send envoys to our palace to discuss the destruction of Han by King Lian!"

Wang Pingchuan suddenly realized when he heard this language. He smiled with relief: "I almost missed a big thing." ”

"Mr. De, it is really a blessing in this life. ”

...

Two days later, at the junction of Jiqi, not far from a horse team, the two stood staring at each other.

"Big brother, you and my brother haven't seen each other for more than ten years, why do you have to leave in a hurry after two days. As a brother, I haven't done my landlord's friendship well. Wang Pingchuan said reluctantly.

"Brother Wang, I am also very reluctant to leave your good brother. You said I came empty-handed, but when I left, you were..."Han Lin said guiltily as he looked at the boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry transported by the horse team not far away.

"Big brother, it's already a great blessing for me to come to see me. ”

"It's just two days, and I really don't think it's enough. ”

"I really want you and my brother to drink and talk day and night, that is the greatest joy in life!" Wang Pingchuan said.

Han Lin hugged Wang Pingchuan one by one, and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Brother Wang, I don't want to, brother." ”

"For so many years in Qizhou, I have been looking forward to seeing our brothers together every day. ”

"It's just that you can't be left without an owner for a day, and the big and small things in Qizhou are piled up like a mountain waiting for me to deal with. ”

"I don't dare to live up to the trust that the court has placed in me. ”

Wang Pingchuan sighed and said, "Alas, the eldest brother is right. ”

"It's my brother's fault, I only think about you and my brother's affection, and forget the righteousness of my family and country. ”

"Then I won't keep my eldest brother. ”

"I can't let my selfishness lead me up. ”

"Big brother, you and my brother don't know what year and month they will be able to get together again after this farewell, you must take care of your precious body. ”

"In your spare time, don't forget my brother. My house is always stocked with your favorite wine, big brother. ”

Han Lin patted Wang Pingchuan on the back and said, "Okay, when I am greedy, I will come to Jizhou to ask you for wine." ”

"There will be a farewell for thousands of miles, brother, you can send it here. ”

Han Lin turned around and got on the horse and left.

Wang Pingchuan said goodbye loudly: "Big brother, go all the way, and send someone to send a letter to report safety when you arrive in Linyi." ”

A bold voice came from afar, "Okay, Brother Wang, go back quickly." ”

"Hmph!" Wang Pingchuan turned around and said with a gloomy face!
