Chapter 6: Hate Comes Late

(It's a modification, not an update, the update is in the evening)

Li Longji said: "Why not? The beggar brother reported that eight times out of ten, they were temporarily living in Wan Jianhong, but there were very few in the city. ”

Lin Jianlan said: "My father-in-law mentioned to me that day, most of the people in the green forest do not want to oppose the imperial court, so there are very few people who blatantly set up the entrance near the imperial capital, only the beggars are because there are beggars everywhere, and the Shaolin line itself has a relationship with the royal family, which can be regarded as an exception." Besides, have you ever seen a person who came to Daohe to stay at his master's house for a few days and didn't leave?

Li Longji is also a very smart person, and when he heard this, his face changed sharply at this moment, and he said, "It's not good!"

Lin Jianlan finally explained these stakes, only felt that his tongue was dry, and said: "I heard that Luoyang will come to Luoyang every late summer and early autumn, if I think it is not bad, thousands of people from the rivers and lakes gather here, waiting for this day." You are the current emperor's grandson, the only way to do it now is to convince her not to travel. ”

Li Longji shook his head dejectedly and said, "It's late, the imperial grandmother is going to arrive today." The reason why I stayed in the Five Kings' Mansion was to wait for her to be summoned at any time when she arrived. ”

Lin Jianlan hurriedly got up and said, "Then you still don't stop her outside the city?"

Li Longji said: "Although the imperial grandmother is old, she is not confused, but she is delicate and shrewd, and I have to have all the reasons to stop her." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Isn't what Fang just said the reason, 'Ransong' has built such a big mansion on the side of the palace, and it has been in operation for more than ten years, isn't it enough?"

Li Longji smiled bitterly and said: "Duke Lin just said that I don't understand the rivers and lakes, and you don't understand the emperor's mental skills, and as an emperor, you have to be more suspicious than others." She didn't fully trust Wei Suxin, otherwise she wouldn't have been there every Kao event, and she wouldn't have arranged the most elite of the Imperial Sect in the garden path. She opened the door of secret information in her early years, but she was actually very disgusted by it, so after the overall situation was decided, she slowly cut off the people who were fortunate enough to enter. At this time, if I say that Wei Suxin is not, she will be suspicious and suspicious of me out of thin air. ”

Lin Jianlan's slender fingers slowly mossed the natural ancient tree knot on the right side of the chair armrest, and secretly sighed that at this time, he felt that the road was impassable, and there was no way, thinking that Wu Zetian would stay in Luoyang Palace, Wei Suxin's closed courtyard door would open at any time, and hundreds of martial arts masters poured in like a flood, and Wu Zetian who came from the autumn tour must be on guard against emptiness, even if there was a royal secretary to defend him, how could he resist it for a while? However, at this time, the more scattered his thinking became, and he couldn't gather his spirit, thinking that he was still fighting to the death with the Imperial Kou Division in front of the Hangzhou General Hall, and then he was even more hostile several times, and now he had to worry about the Imperial Kou Division, which everyone hated in the rivers and lakes, Lin Jianlan couldn't help but show a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.

Li Longji was not in a hurry, but he couldn't think of a way, he only frowned and paced back and forth, feeling that Lin Jianlan's eyes seemed to be nailed to him, he suddenly smiled, couldn't help stopping, and said: "Lin Gong, don't look at me like this, if in terms of stakes, I am thousands of times more anxious than you, you can still get away without doing anything, but I can't." ”

Lin Jianlan's face changed, knowing that he had a misunderstanding, and was about to refute him, but he knew that the quarrel was really useless now, so he restrained his smile and said: "Brother Tang, you have arranged everything before your death, when is the earliest date to be set?"

Li Longji hesitated: "It was scheduled for January next year, after the Shangyuan Festival." ”

Lin Jianlan was stunned for a moment, then silently brushed the hard pimples on his handle, raised his head after a while, and said: "Brother Tang has reached such a time, are you still perfunctory with lies? If it starts in January next year, why would Brother Tang transfer the elite brothers of the other beggar gang to Luoyang, Chang'an, from the end of spring this year?"

Li Longji was embarrassed at the moment, he naturally had private thoughts in his heart that could not be mentioned, his father didn't know whether he was really frightened by the imperial grandmother or knew the way of Taoguang and raising obscurity, he didn't seem to be very interested in this throne, he was still a cowardly person who was in love with poetry, even if Di Renjie's painstaking planning before his death, it seemed to be dispensable to him. My father is like this, and my brothers are playing all day long. Li Longji is different, he dared to speak out in front of Wu Zetian when he was young, with unspeakable ambitions, and since returning to Beijing, he has had even more contact with Di Xiang and Zhang Cambodia than his father. Even if the plan was seamless, he was still worried day and night, if something went wrong and let the people of the martial family take power, I was afraid that the royal blood of the Li family would disappear in this world. Therefore, he hid from his father and Zhang Khan Zhi, and mobilized the strength of the beggar gang in the Luoyang area of Chang'an, and the elite brothers of the Ten Dao should not be underestimated, in order to be prepared. On a deeper level, the imperial grandmother is so old, I am afraid that her body is already old and decayed under the struggling to maintain her youthful face, and if there is a change, she can still act early, and she is quite sure.

Lin Jianlan saw that he was silent, his eyes flickering, and he could expect a few points, so he didn't ask deeply, stood up and said, "Brother Tang can transfer ten Dao brothers, I'm afraid that these elders of the Beggar Gang with extremely high seniority already know your true identity?"

Li Longji sighed lightly: "Only a few elders know now, otherwise, how can I be a person with no martial arts skills to fully tune the ten elites? Even if I can transfer it, there is no prestige to ensure that these beggars and disciples will gather in the imperial capital without causing any trouble." ”

Lin Jianlan's hand tightened and loosened, and after repeating this several times, Fang looked directly at Li Longji, his eyes burned, and said, "Brother Tang, I can't wait until next year." ”

Li Longji only felt that the corners of his eyes jumped, and suddenly the throbbing feeling was gone, and they all said that the left eye was beating and the right eye was jumping, just like that, but he couldn't remember which eye jumped just now, but his fingers almost pinched the flesh of his palm, and said in a trembling voice: "Lin Gong just said ......."

Lin Jianlan didn't say it a second time, the secret room was quiet, and he said every word very clearly, if he heard it, it was better to say that it exploded in his ears like rolling thunder, which shocked Li Longji a little in a trance. The two fell silent for a while, and neither of them spoke, but at this time, they heard the footsteps outside hurriedly from far and near, and stopped outside the door and said, "Lord Wang." ”

Li Longji glanced at Lin Jianlan, and saw that he had turned behind the curtain at some point, so he coughed lightly and said, "Come in." ”

The man bowed and stepped forward, and Li Longji said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Lin Jianlan was hidden behind the scenes, listening to the man say unhurriedly: "The holy driver has arrived at the Luoyang Palace, I heard that I am a little tired on the road, I will not summon any princes and ministers tonight, I am afraid that the holy oracle will be here in a while." He was accompanied by several ministers such as Lord Zhang, in addition to the imperial guards, several of the most important people of the Imperial Kou Division were accompanied by him. The two sheets of the Crane Mansion naturally followed. Lin Jianlan knew that this person must be Li Longji's confidant, and he was very capable of listening to the words, and he had found out some of the news that Li Longji was most concerned about, but for some reason he was still concerned about the whereabouts of the second Zhang of the Crane Mansion.

Li Longji's brows stretched slightly: "Call Mao San in, you go to inquire again, find out the situation of the palace defense tonight, and come to report to me in an hour." ”

The man retreated, but the next person came from under the eaves outside the door, and entered the house with a cat on his waist, Li Longji took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and said: "Take this to the helper, just say that the time has come, Luoyang Palace." The man took the jade pendant with a big grin, carried it in his arms and walked away, Lin Jianlan Fang turned out again, and said, "This person is a stranger." ”

Li Longji said with a smile: "Don't look at his raunchy appearance, but the Maxima in the mansion only recognizes him." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "It seems that Brother Tang has made up his mind. ”

Li Longji said: "If Lin Gong is Wei Suxin, when is the right time?"

Lin Jianlan smiled knowingly, and then frowned again and said: "The long road has come here, and it is inevitable that you will be tired when you stay in the palace, it is indeed a good opportunity, things can't be delayed any longer, but tonight will inevitably encounter a fierce battle." ”

Li Longji said: "In the past, I promised Lin Gong to try his best to protect the beggars, but today I am about to break my promise, I am really ashamed." ”

Hearing him say this, Lin Jianlan was also a little gloomy, and listened to Li Longji say: "With Lord Zhang here, the winning rate is one percent more, but I don't know how to explain to my father." ”

Lin Jianlan thought to himself: "If there is one more person, it is easy to leak, if the king is really as indecisive and cowardly as the rumors in the world, he will miss a big thing." Thinking of this, he said: "Brother Tang must listen to me, today is an arrow on the bow, I have to send it, whether to tell the king of the prime minister is not helpful in itself, it is better to directly start an incident with Lord Zhang according to the original plan, and directly support the king after the fact." ”

Li Longji said: "It's Lord Zhang, I have to have a reason to start the incident in advance, but it's a pity that he has always been a little disgusted with these things in the rivers and lakes." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Why bother talking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, Lord Zhang is willing to help your father to help the Li family's royal family, and the plan only picked you from your five brothers, don't you know what he means? ”

Li Longji pondered for a moment, nodded resolutely, and said: "That's it, I'll go to see Master Zhang immediately, Lin Gong can take a break here, and I don't have to ask you to contribute tonight." Then he got up and took his leave.

Lin Jianlan hurriedly said: "Brother Tang......"

Li Longji turned around and saw that his face was very hesitant, as if he was embarrassed, and said, "Does Lin Gong have anything bad to say to me?"

Lin Jianlan made up his mind and said: "Brother Tang, after the matter is completed, I beg you to open your face to the predecessors of Chaosong...... I didn't want to embarrass Brother Tang, you also know all kinds of past feelings, only when I begged you once. ”

Li Longji didn't think that what he said was this, and said: "Lin Gong, although he may not show mercy to our subordinates if he succeeds, I still promise you." He smiled again and said, "First, I also admire him as a hero, and second, if he wants to leave, no one can stop him." ”

Lin Jianlan watched him leave, so he also opened the door, and saw that there was no one around, it was very quiet, presumably Li Longji did not allow others to approach on weekdays, even his brothers. He took a deep breath and jumped onto the eaves, looked at it for a moment, and ran towards the Kao Mansion.

The Kao Mansion didn't see anything unusual, it was still a few Qing guests recruited by Wei Suxin to patrol and walk around, but Lin Jianlan was no longer the Lin Jianlan who first broke into the forbidden land, and no one found him moving freely in the mansion.

This mansion occupies a very large area, even if there are hundreds of more people, I am afraid that it will not be noticeable. Lin Jianlan stared in the direction of the Pear Flower Courtyard, extremely worried, tonight I am afraid that he will have to deal with the righteous warriors of the rivers and lakes convened by Wei Suxin with the Imperial Kousi, and he will inevitably attract infamy, which is not what he cares about the most. What he cared about most was that he still had to face Wei Suxin head-on after all, and time was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to pick up his mother, regardless of success or failure afterwards, how could he brazenly mention it again?

Lin Jianlan was about to leave, but he felt that the white shadow of the courtyard flashed, and he didn't enter the house, he was shocked, and if he saw that if Wei Suxin performed light skills, he would not be noticed by himself at all, and he sneaked into the courtyard and was not discovered by Qin and Luo, it seems that his martial arts are not low, although his mother often wears white clothes, but he does not know martial arts, so who is it? I am afraid that someone is trying to harm his mother, thinking of this, Lin Jianlan jumped into the courtyard desperately, the big pear tree and the green shadow were building, and when he opened the door, it was a deathly silence.

Lin Jianlan almost cried, there was no one in the house, so he turned around and walked towards Wei Suxin's house, the heavy iron door was half-hidden, not closed, which made his heart happy again, but when he walked in, his eyes were full of dust, Wei Suxin was running back and forth in Luoyang, Jiangnan, and he must be anxious to discuss important matters with Wan Jianhong and others when he came back this time, and he didn't even have time to rest here.

In addition to being disappointed, Lin Jianlan had to look carefully, that person had a lot of light skills, and there were no footprints on the ground, just traces of something gently dragging on the ground, leading to the futon where Wei Suxin usually sits.

Lin Jianlan walked over lightly, touched the futon with his hand, except for some cool and silky nothing, and was about to leave, but there was a faint cry from under the futon, and he immediately put his head on the futon, and heard a rather old voice crying inside: "I really don't know!" As soon as the words fell, there was a "gurgling" sound, which sounded weird.

After a while, a cold and indifferent female voice said, "Don't you want to let me go deeper?" When Lin Jianlan heard this, his face couldn't help but show joy, and he flicked the futon a few times, and then pressed his palm against it, only to feel that the cold breath was getting heavier, and Fang said softly: "Yin Yin!

In a moment, the cold air almost subsided, and there was a slight sound of a mechanism turning below, and the futon slowly moved to the side, revealing a staircase below. A girl in white poked her head out, her face was also difficult to hide her joy, she didn't speak, she only stretched out her wrist and grabbed Lin Jianlan and walked down step by step, closed the entrance again, and said softly: "Lin Gong, are you okay?"
