This question is a little unreal, but it is extremely real like thunder. Lu Man looked at Lin Jianlan in a daze, but Tang Mu looked at Lu Man and said, "Lin Gong is really righteous first and then private affairs, why can't she be my princess?"

Lin Jianlan looked at Lu Man, looked at each other, quickly turned his gaze away, hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said: "That day in Jiangnan, if I think well, aren't you still interested in her, and then I inquired when I returned to Luoyang, and I knew that you already had a few side concubines without deliberately inquiring, and there were countless beauties around you." ”

Tang Mu still stared at Lu Man, and said with a smile: "The seventy-two concubines of the Three Palaces are not much different from what the people say, isn't that what the royal family is doing?

Lin Jianlan's face turned red, and he couldn't help but look at Lu Man, and said secretly: "Why do I want to inquire about these things, marry into a wealthy family, maybe become a princess in the future, even if from Tang Mu's identity, it seems that he will not devote his life to any woman, but Sister Man's fairy beauty may be different, the identity is honorable, and the wealth and tranquility are not better than the bloody wind in the rivers and lakes?"

Lu Man has been admired by men since he was a child, and he is used to it, but at this moment, he was flustered by Tang Mu's eyes, and when he saw Lin Jianlan's eyes fall on his face, he was a little dazed and a little concerned, Lu Man's heart was agitated, and he was almost about to blurt out, but he still pursed his lips, lightly raised his wrist and stroked his hair, walked to Lin Jianlan's side lightly, patted Lin Jianlan on the shoulder, and said to Tang Mu with a light smile: "Isn't it okay to be a younger brother and check for my sister? Don't look left at him, my brother asked you why Miss Wan fell into your hands, and you answered honestly, why bother talking so much!"

Tang Mu saw Lu Man speaking for Lin Jianlan, his eyes were very disappointed, and after a while, there was a trace of stubbornness on his face, and he still said with a smile: "I asked him that day, what is the difference between Miss Wan Xiu and him, even if he has no love for Miss Wan, is he not allowed to be in the next place? Miss Wan is reasonable, gentle and virtuous, and understanding, and after getting along with her, she realized that she was a rare piece of beautiful jade, so she was accepted as a princess." Although he is not a handsome talent, he is confident that he will not force a daughter's family, Miss Wan nodded before he gave a big gift, how could he fall into the hands of the next to say it, it was really a joke. ”

Lu Man was so choked by him that he couldn't speak, and only glared at him and said, "You ......"

The corners of Tang Mu's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a smile: "Miss Wan has a perennial illness, and she usually spends herself alone in a quiet dark house, so her ears are as sensitive as a blind person, and she doesn't hide it from Lin Gong, and we met in the corridor of Weihua Wangfu that day......"

But Lu Man stepped forward, and his hand had already buckled the Taiyin needle and said, "Say one more thing!"

Tang Mu shrugged, still with a meaningless smile and continued: "Miss Wan is behind the curtain, she is weak, walking very slowly, when I asked Lin Gong, she only walked more than ten steps, listening to my question, I couldn't help but stop, but I waited for a long time and didn't see Lin Gong answer, plus I witnessed the elegant scene of Miss Man and Lin Gong, and finally I was naturally very sad, and the back was also I saw pity when I looked down." ”

Lu Man was never able to throw the Taiyin needle in his hand to hurt people because of this male and female affair, and finally one hand hung down after a while, tears were already hanging on his face, and he choked up: "Brother, sister is sorry for you, I have seen Miss Wan that day, but I haven't explained it to you, so ...... That...... I didn't know what you ...... her."

Lin Jianlan looked up in a trance, and saw that although Tang Mu said happily, the corners of his mouth were smiling, but his eyes were full of sadness, and he saw Lu Man standing in front of him, his shoulders kept shaking, Fang slowly walked over, pulled Lu Man over, and said softly: "Sister Man, I'm sorry for you." ”

Lu Man raised his teary eyes blankly, and listened to him: "Why do I always suspect and misunderstand Sister Man like this, you saw Ah Xiu behind the curtain that day with a different expression, but I suspect that you and Elder Tang have already met, but you are alone from me, this thought will come out of my heart whenever I see you or him, which makes me very uncomfortable, it turns out that it is just my own blind thinking, and you have been wronged." Sister Man, how many times you want to say something to me, do you want to say this to me? Actually, you don't have to blame yourself. After that, he looked straight at Tang Mu, his eyes were sad but bright and compelling, and said: "That day in the corridor, the palace maid who accompanied her first said the word 'king', and then changed her name to 'madam', it can be seen that Wan Xiu had already become your princess at that time, I don't know what your purpose is in marrying her, but don't use this to provoke me and Sister Man, and don't have any thoughts about using Ah Xiu." Ah Xiu is weak by nature, and she will not fight with others, let alone be jealous and involved in the harem turmoil, she is a good girl, since you married her, take good care of her, otherwise, I will not spare you. ”

Although Tang Mu wanted to refute, looking at Lin Jianlan's resolute attitude, he couldn't speak, and his first acquaintance seemed to be still in front of him, the young man at that time didn't seem to have such wide shoulders and slender as he is now, but his eyes have never changed. At this moment, seeing that he gently hugged Lu Man's body and helped Lu Man, who was still sobbing, to leave, he had to sigh lowly, and then looked at the lonely moon in the sky, and said, "How do you know that I won't be worthy of you in my lifetime?" But he still lowered his head, pressed his temples again, shook his head with a wry smile and went back to the room.

Lu Man was lying on the bed at the moment, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, his eyes were lowered, staring at the mist below, snorting and saying, "Brother, you really ...... Miss Wan"

Lin Jianlan was bending over and being pulled on Lu Man's body, and when he heard this, he turned around and smiled, and said: "Otherwise, what else can I do, there are some things I only say in front of Sister Man, it is best for Wanxiu to be alive, I have nothing else to ask for, besides, I still have a bunch of unfinished things to do, how to take care of her, maybe staying by the side of King Linzi is the best for her." ”

Will be covered, Lin Jianlan turned around and wanted to leave, but heard Lu Man say: "Brother, what do you think...... What is Tang Mu like?"

Lin Jianlan had already opened the door, listened to this question, closed the door again, looked back, and saw Lu Manzhen with his head lowered, the green silk was scattered on the willow shoulders, the round and jade wrist was gently holding the teacup, and the red lips were sticking to the rim of the cup, but he didn't drink water, just bit it lightly with his teeth, but this appearance was a little different from the past, some delicate and lovely, and some weak and helpless, and said secretly:" The king of Linzi said that part, and the affection was already overflowing, how could Sister Man not know, although arguing with him and saying that he was not the one who could live up to him for a lifetime, but after all, it was angry words, the king of Linzi was handsome and extraordinary, and his identity was prominent, how could he not be tempted at all?

Thinking of this, he walked back and sat on the edge of the bed and said: "I have an acquaintance with him, there are many causes and consequences, but I don't have time to tell each other, I should have told Sister Man a long time ago." When he first joined the beggar gang, because Nian Xiaoxia saw through the truth of the tragic death of the gang leader and told it one by one, Lu Man listened to it quite attentively, and said: "It turned out that at that time you wanted to find Guanshi Moyu to avenge the old gang leader." ”

Lin Jianlan nodded and said: "At that time, I hated Tang Muqi very much, in my opinion, since the Nian gang leader treated him well, he should not collude with outsiders, and his identity at that time was so secretive." In fact, now that I think about it, he originally lurked in the beggar gang to have a plan, and he did his best to make this arrangement in a hurry that night, and the death of Brother Lei could not be counted on his head, it was all my inconsiderate arrangement. Later, he took Ah Xiu out to see a doctor, and there were many accidents. ”

After some narration, Lu Man's tea had already been cold, but he didn't have time to drink it, and said quietly: "It turns out that my brother's background is so bizarre. ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Tang Mu talked to me about his father afterwards, but there were a lot of excuses for him, although I can't forgive my father, but my heart is also a little grateful to him, and later he helped me and Ah Xiu get rid of the doctor, they are all very dedicated." ”

"I know his true identity, it was during the time when he went to Jiangnan with you, he accompanied Wu Zetian to Jiangnan to try Xie Zhongju's case, you should all know this. At that time, Yuan Xingjian ascended to the heights and shouted, raising the banner of righteousness again, and the momentum was vigorous, I had a conversation with him, and said tentatively: 'If this battle is widened and the banner of anti-military is raised, maybe the surname Li will be re-established in this world, and Brother Tang does not have a little selfishness?' He was compassionate and not moved by my words, and said: "Although I have the will to rejuvenate, I have to rely on my own strength to exchange the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangnan, and I disdain to do it." Even if it's done, what's the use of leaving a devastated Jiangnan full of gunsmoke?' Since then, I have changed my opinion of him, and even if there is something about Ah Xiu, I have admiration for him. ”

Lin Jianlan picked up the teacup from Lu Man's hand, put it on the table, walked to the door and said: "That's it, Sister Man, he is handsome, and it is even more rare that he does not have a rich and noble temperament, but is very modest, and he seems to have a deep affection for Sister Man, and he can be regarded as a character like Sister Man, I ...... It's just that I'm worried that he won't always be nice to you. Speaking of this, he frowned, and said, "Wan Xiu is also by his side, if you are also ...... Alas, I'm gone. ”

After saying that, he opened the door and left, Lu Man looked at the two closed doors in a daze, slowly lay down, and covered his head again, turned sideways, curled up under the quilt, and whispered to himself: "What am I? Can I help take care of the weak Miss Wan, or will I rob Miss Wan of her favor?" You don't understand anything. The body under the quilt trembled slightly, and finally there was a faint sob.

A night that was difficult to sleep with each other's hearts passed, Lin Jianlan only felt that it was dawn after taking a nap, and he opened his eyes in confusion, but he was lying in his clothes, and he didn't know when he was thinking about it by the bed and fell asleep, and when he opened the door, he saw that everyone was tired, and Lu Man was still flushed twice. Although he and Lu Man said so peacefully, seeing Tang Mu but never able to get along as before, after the morning, was about to say goodbye, but saw someone hurriedly sent a letter, and whispered a few words with Tang Mu, although he didn't want to deliberately eavesdrop, but he could still vaguely hear the words "Jiangnan" and "bandits", he couldn't help but be a little worried, seeing that the person who reported the news left, Fang hurriedly asked: "Is it military intelligence?"

Tang Mu's face was solemn, and he nodded and said, "It's the express report from Jiangnan." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "What's going on now?"

Tang Mu said: "It's much more serious than I thought, the righteous army is unstoppable, it has been attacking outward, several towns have been captured, and the resident town officers and soldiers can't resist it, I'm afraid that this battle will be reported to the imperial court, and a large army will be sent to suppress it soon." It's just that the price of their victory is not light. ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Brother Tang, what do you mean?"

Tang Mu said: "The victory of the righteous army depends on two points, one is that the mourning soldiers will win, most of the righteous army is for the anger of Lord Xie and rose up, and second, the righteous army also has a force from the rivers and lakes, this power used to be scattered and donated silver taels, and did not personally participate, this time it was fought with the militia inside, as if hugging together, which I never expected." However, in terms of strength, although the Jianghu people were better than the official army, the official army was better than those militias, so after several battles, the militia suffered the greatest losses, followed by the officers and soldiers, and those Jianghu people were very few. ”

Lin Jianlan said: "If this continues, won't it affect the people? They have really become out-and-out cannon fodder!"

Tang Mu sighed: "Yes, it's just that now the people are still angry, and they have been instigated again, and they themselves don't know that they are being used." If the soldiers die, and then recruit some from the people, the final result will only be that Jiangnan will become a hell on earth, and the people who will be exterminated to the point that there are no cultivators left. ”

Although he exaggerated, Lin Jianlan knew that there were seven or eight points that could be regarded as the truth, Wei Suxin instigated Yuan Xingjian and the people of the rivers and lakes, Yuan Xingjian was instigated by him and drove the surrounding civilians to avenge Xie Yaohuan, although the root cause was in the imperial court, but killing Lai Junchen, Xie Yaohuan's death was sealed, which was Wu Zetian's biggest concession, and now it seems that it is irreparable.

Tang Mu saw him groaning, and said tentatively: "Lin Gong, you are also familiar with someone over there, but is there any way to think of it? The imperial court sent troops to suppress it, that is something that you and I don't want to see." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "Brother Tang, although there is something I shouldn't ask, but at this moment I want to do something for the people of Jiangnan, and I can't bear to let them be done by others, so I must ask you to tell the truth." ”

Tang Mu saw him so solemn, so he nodded and said, "Lin Gong, it's okay to ask, I will tell you the truth." ”

Lin Jianlan said: "The Wu family is in power, the surname Li is in decline, Brother Tang's brother can have great ambitions, you have to think well before you can answer me." ”

Tang Muduo's smart person, when he heard this, his face changed sharply, and his face turned left and right, and Fang said: "Could it be that Duke Lin suspects that someone from my Li clan is colluding with Taihu Lake and intends to rebel?"
