Ling Ye shook his head silently, and said after a while, "I was just lucky." It was purely blocked just now, and it was just a fluke bet on the right one. If it's true kung fu, I'm not better than you. ”

Leng Rushuang glanced at him: "I'm not so angry, losing a move is a blink of a loss, you can bet right, and you can win luck." My father-in-law, even on the battlefield, sometimes it is purely gambling, there is no way to predict success or failure, and if you bet right, you can defeat the other party. ”

Midnight nodded. Leng Rushuang said again: "My father-in-law also, in a place like the imperial capital, basically no one cares how you win or lose, as long as they see you win or lose, they will win the chat is of course to get the reward of His Majesty the Emperor and the jealousy of the opponent, and if you lose the conversation, there will naturally be a large group of people vying to write and hate to trample you under your feet, and few people will ask why you lost." They don't need a process, they don't need a cause, they just need to see the effect. ”

Ling Ye was silent for a while, and said, "The marshal has really seen it thoroughly. ”

Leng Rushuang said: "Hmm." Stepfather, he once experienced ups and downs in just a few months. In the past few months, he has defeated the enemy army in a row, and the good news has been sent to the imperial capital, so the imperial capital has praised him, although there are a few people who want to pick bones in the egg because of jealousy, but there is no lack of one thing. ”

Ling Ye remembered that Tian Duxing and Lu Ming had both passed, and Wu Peng had such a past, so he followed her words and said, "I guess, the marshal will have a big defeat next?"

A hint of anger appeared on Leng Rushuang's face: "Isn't it? Soon after, my father-in-law was ambushed by the Central Liejun army, and the whole army was annihilated, and only he was the only one who escaped back. So those who hated him in the imperial capital wrote one after another, and the father-in-law won a few battles and became fluttering, empty-eyed, thinking that he was invincible, greedy for merit, and thus incurred such a big defeat. And it's not just those who are jealous of him who go to the book, but those who are idle and have nothing to do on weekdays, who have no grievances and nothing to do, see the excitement, and they also rush to participate in it, and they will never give up until they kill my father-in-law. Although his father-in-law's boss wanted to protect him, his voice was directly drowned out by the large number of books, and the emperor didn't want to hear it. ”

Ling Ye couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Then why did he become a marshal later?"

Leng Rushuang said: "Be ashamed and brave, and work hard." His father-in-law's family was almost bankrupt, so he was able to keep him and continue to serve in the army. Since then, my father-in-law has studied hard in military books, studied hard, and slowly honed in actual combat, and finally stood out and proved his excellence to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Ling Ye said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I guess, the result is just like you before, the people in the imperial capital don't care about the process and the reason, as long as the result, so your father-in-law was slowly promoted in this way, and finally became the marshal who commanded millions of troops." ”

Leng Rushuang showed a look of admiration on his face, and said proudly: "Isn't it? Father-in-law is the most outstanding commander in the entire empire, and no one can compare to him!"

Ling Ye didn't know who else in the empire was good at using troops anyway, so he agreed.

Leng Rushuang said again: "In short, if you win, you win, I am willing to bet and lose." It's just that I believe it's just that I can't practice at home, so I'll study hard and practice hard, and I'll compare with you next time. Next time, I'll definitely win you!"

Midnight: "...... There will be a next time?"

Leng Rushuang nodded seriously: "Not bad." As a disciple of the Sword Saint, I don't want to be defeated once and lose forever. You're going to have to worry about it, next time, I'm not going to be able to defeat it so easily!"

Midnight: "......"

Shige Sakura Palace.

Emperor Shenwu looked at the emergency report, his expression was cloudy, and it took a long time to throw the emergency report on the desk, and snorted heavily: "Lu Ming is dead? And the whole family of men has been killed? Who is so insidious, cut him down and eradicate the roots?"

Cheng Lian on the side lowered his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the urgent report was sent by the yamen of the capital, and now they are still waiting for Your Majesty's clear instructions." Do you want the old slave to call them over and ask His Majesty in detail?"

Emperor Shenwu snorted and shook his head: "They are already starting to investigate the case, let them investigate it first! He sighed heavily: "For a person like Lu Ming who is in a high position, there are naturally many enemies and opponents, and it is already very good to live to this age." ”

Cheng Lian was silent.

Emperor Shenwu glanced at him and ordered: "Go ahead! With the people of the Yamen in the capital, this case must be dealt with urgently, I really want to know who killed him at this juncture, so unscrupulous!"

Imperial capital, inside the Royal Pavilion.

The Imperial Pavilion was a residence used to entertain princes who came from afar to meet the emperor. Those princes who are divided into other places, although they used to grow up in Chongying Palace, but the emperor can only have one, and the prince can only have one, so these princes who can neither become princes nor emperors, once they reach a certain age, they must go to the feudal country to take office, and by the way, they also settle down there, and there is no home in the imperial capital.

Therefore, the empire set up a royal pavilion to entertain those princes who came to the imperial capital from the feudal country, which was convenient and easy to monitor, killing two birds with one stone.

At this time, in a courtyard in the royal pavilion, a tall young man in a royal robe was standing under a tree, looking up at the swallows on the tree.

These swallows, in spring, will fly back from the south, return to their nests, strengthen and renovate their nests, and chase and squeak when they are idle.

The young man watched a pair of swallows like that, chasing and playing in the trees, squeaking and chirping. He was not annoyed, and there was a look of emotion in his eyes, and he muttered: "The swallow can return to his nest every year, but I can never go home, only outside." Childhood playmates must not meet casually now, let alone play and play. Alas, man!"

He had been watching the frolicking swallows for a long time. The men stood far away, and no one came to disturb him, until the sound of hurried footsteps came in from outside.

What came was a man dressed as an entourage. He hurried up to the young man and respectfully presented a secret letter with both hands. The young man opened it and looked at it, and nodded: "Very good, things are well done." Nothing left behind, did they?"

The attendant said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, no! Boss Wu, they did it very carefully, and made sure that no one saw their faces!"
