Chapter 14: Another Great General (2)
Lin Yi and Shangguan Minghong touched a cup. The two of them drank their wines in one fell swoop. Lin Yi poured wine for Shangguan Minghong. Although this Shangguan Minghong seems to be good, he is a person in the court after all, and he has never met Lin Yi, so Lin Yi is also wary in his heart.
Lin Yi said: "General Shangguan, I didn't know the truth before, so I have some doubts, and I ask the general not to be surprised." I don't know what the general ordered me to come here?"
Shangguan Minghong said with a smile: "King Lin's words are serious, you and I should be on guard for the first time when we deal with each other." This is also King Lin's courage, and I may not come. Also," Shangguan Minghong emphasized: "I didn't recruit King Lin, I invited you to come." Although I am a general, I also have some power in my hands. But King Lin, you are also the dragon and phoenix among people, and the king of the south. So King Lin, you treat me as a friend. And don't hide it from King Lin, I was also a person in the rivers and lakes twenty years ago. Jianghu people pay attention to heroes, cherish each other, and feel old at first sight. I felt familiar with King Lin at first sight. ”
Shangguan Minghong did not have the arrogance of a general in front of Lin Yi. It's not like Feng Liancheng to oppress people and dictate to Lin Yiyi with power. made Lin Yi have a good impression of Shangguan Minghong.
And this Shangguan Minghong is also from the rivers and lakes, which makes Lin Yi feel more close.
Lin Yi said: "It's really an honor for the general to look up to Lin Yi. ”
Shangguan Minghong said with a sincere expression: "This is also my honor." ”
Lin Yi knew that Shangguan Minghong had made up his mind when he saw him. Lin Yi was also inconvenient to ask directly, and now he could only act at the opportunity.
So the two of them chatted while drinking.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Shangguan Minghong gave Lin Yi chopsticks dishes, and then asked casually: "King Lin, I heard that you have a very close relationship with General Feng?"
Lin Yi listened to his question, thinking that he didn't know the intention of Shangguan Minghong, so he had to deal with it carefully. No one should be given authority.
Lin Yi said skillfully: "If you don't hide it from General Shangguan, you can't talk about a close relationship." General Feng is in a high position, and I am just a reckless. He is in charge of the affairs of the Northwest, so if he tells me, I can only do my best for him. ”
Shangguan Minghong said with a smile: "General Fengda's overall burden of the northwest defense is as heavy as a mountain. If he needed help, he should do his best. And now the situation is so grim, so even I was sent by the emperor to be General Feng's deputy general to help General Feng. Since then, I have lived in this northwest for a long time. ”
This surprised Lin Yi.
It turned out that Shangguan Minghong was sent by the emperor to be Feng Liancheng's deputy.
Whether the situation is grim or whether Shangguan Minghong is really here to help Feng Liancheng, or whether he has another deep meaning, Lin Yi didn't know for a while.
But Lin Yi guessed that the emperor must have mentioned himself to him before Shangguan Minghong came, so Shangguan Minghong was clear about the emperor's secret gift of his own bag.
In this way, Shangguan Minghong is the emperor's minister.
Lin Yixi said: "It turns out that General Shangguan is here to help General Feng. That's great. I have two of the Five Tigers, and this time I will deter the northwest. Fanbang must not dare to make another time. ”
Shangguan Minghong said: "King Lin is now in the limelight with the Beifu Qin Dingfang martial arts battle for hegemony and victory. Moreover, King Lin's subordinates are even more warriors, so I will ask King Lin to help me in the future. ”
Lin Yi said: "If General Shangguan can use my place, I will also be effective." ”
"Okay!" Shangguan Ming Hongda praised: "There are many sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, and King Lin is even more righteous and righteous. I have made up your friend, Shangguan Minghong. In the future, if I have something to ask, I will ask King Lin to help. ”
Lin Yi said: "As long as it involves the country and the people, Lin Yi's definition is unavoidable!"
Shangguan Minghong was very happy, and his face was happy.
The two continued to drink and talk, as if they were friends at first sight. Later, Shangguan Minghong also called Lin Yi brothers.
After eating, Lin Yi still had to hurry, so he said goodbye to Shangguan Minghong.
Shangguan Minghong asked Tian Ying to send Lin Yi out.
Tian Ying sent Lin Yi away and returned to the private room.
Shangguan Minghong said to Tian Ying: "Tian Ying, how do you feel about this king of the Southern Realm?"
Tian Ying said: "There is a sense of righteousness, and I also checked, Lin Yi has a good reputation." It should be chivalrous. ”
"And it's smart. Shangguan Minghong said: "I talked to him for nearly an hour, and he coped with it properly. I saw him today, firstly, to get acquainted with him, and secondly, to test him. After all, he has a good relationship with Feng Liancheng, and I don't dare to trust him easily now. ”
Tian Ying said in a low voice: "General, the emperor ordered you to keep an eye on Fengliancheng, and secretly collect evidence of Fengliancheng's corruption and malpractice. Fengliancheng is not a fool, so our trip to the northwest will not be peaceful. ”
"yes. It's not just that it's not peaceful, but if you don't get it right, you'll be killed. Shangguan Minghong sighed again: "To be honest, Feng Liancheng is indeed a general. But he was jealous that he could still form a party for personal gain. And he is too greedy, he is in charge of the defense of the northwest, but he often uses this as an excuse to put forward conditions to the emperor, either asking for soldiers or money. The emperor is about to tighten his belt to satisfy him. It's hard to fill the craving. Moreover, for the sake of his own interests, he also longed for the situation to become more severe, and hoped that the continuous transfer of troops to the border in the Western Regions would put heavy pressure on our DPRK. The more this is the case, the more the emperor can't do without him, the people can't do without him, and he can do whatever he wants. It's really dampening. ”
Tian Ying said: "General Feng is a little carried away. ”
Shangguan Minghong said: "People who forget their form usually don't end well. However, the current situation is really inseparable from him. Okay, let's go and meet General Feng. I'll invite the King of the South to drink again in a few days......"
Shangguan Minghong also took people away.
......
Lin Yi and Wanghui came out of the town, and Wanghui asked Lin Yi what Shangguan Minghong was looking for him.
Lin Yi said: "This Shangguan general came to test my relationship with Feng Liancheng, and secondly, he was close to me. But I have a crush on him. As a general of the Five Tigers, he is approachable, and he is still a brother to me when he is half drunk. Haha, what a flattering thing for me. ”
Wanghui said, "Shocking." Xiao Linzi, after all, Lao Tzu has eaten more than you for decades. I also had dealings with people in the DPRK and China back then. Hold you to the clouds in front of you, and stab you with a knife after the north. So don't let him get stupefied. It should be like a city, and it should be like a city!"
Lin Yi's eyes shrank and said, "Brother, to be honest, I really hope that this Shangguan Minghong can replace Feng Liancheng." In this way, Feng Liancheng is not an indispensable person. Then I'll be able to cut off his head!"
Wanghui leaned over on his horse and slapped Lin Yi on the head and said, "You also said that Lao Tzu is a madman, you are a madman." You cut off the head of the five tiger generals of the dynasty, and from now on you will take your wife and children to live a life of escape. Although the world is big, there is no place for you to stand on it anymore. And the southern courtyard will also be copied. No one who is related to you can run away......"
Lin Yi seemed to say to himself: "There must be a way." Fenglian City, Li Tianwolf has to die. They all have to die......"
Lin Yi and Wang returned and walked for more than ten miles, when they suddenly heard the sound of a fight behind the hills southwest of the road.
Soon, a man in a white cloak staggered out from behind the hill.
And he was wounded, bleeding in two places.
As soon as Lin Yi looked at the cloak this person was wearing, he knew that he was from Floating Zero Island.
