Chapter 9: Grappling

When it comes to the topic of daughters, Zhang Jilin and Gongsun Yu, the two old men, can't help but feel a sense of sympathy, Zhang Jilin looked solemn and said: "Brother Gongsun is righteous, and he will be worshiped first." After speaking, Zhang Jilin got up and saluted, looking at Gongsun Yu's eyes full of reverence.

"It's just a matter of recklessness, how can you stand the worship of Xiangye?" Gongsun Yu hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

"How can you not stand it?" Zhang Jilin smiled slightly, and said loudly: "The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, Brother Gongsun for the court, for the world, for the common people, sacrificed to this point, is the hero of the world, this worship is for the saint, for the people, for the future generations thank you!"

"Heavy words!" Gongsun Yu's eyes were slightly red, and he was moved in his heart, Zhang Jilin's words went to his heart, so many years of forbearance and sacrifice are not for the good name of future generations, but for the chivalry that he adheres to in his heart, for the chivalrous man, he should take Kuang Shi to help the world as his own responsibility!

"Every time Your Majesty mentions you to me, he is full of tears and remorse, he is annoyed that he hurt you, annoyed that he was not decisive enough, so that the thieves have a chance!" Zhang Jilin sighed, moved by the love between His Majesty and Gongsun Yu, and said: "Brother Gongsun, now the court is in charge, there are eunuchs and thieves making trouble, and there are siblings outside...... It's going to be a big deal!"

"Big ...... Life...... Will...... Pan. Gongsun Yu repeated word by word.

"Brother Gongsun. Zhang Jilin's face was embarrassed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "There is something to ask for below!"

"Xiangye, but it doesn't hurt to say. Gongsun Yu's expression was slightly straight.

"I shouldn't have said much about this, but I can't take care of it anymore because the situation is critical now. Zhang Jilin's voice was slightly hurried, and he said solemnly: "Your Majesty's secret edict, ordering me to cooperate with the twelve generals to save you, fortunately, you have not disgraced your mission, now you have been out of trouble, according to Your Majesty's next plan, in the land of Bashu for you to prepare a new identity, the house, land, and money left behind are enough for you and your subordinates to live a worry-free life." ”

"Your Majesty means, I hope you will stay away from the disputes between the court and the rivers and lakes from now on, and enjoy your family in peace, but ......" Zhang Jilin suddenly paused, his eyes were red, and he choked up: "As a courtier, I have to worry about Your Majesty, and now you are out of trouble from the prison, like a big peng spreading its wings and an eagle striking the sky, I am afraid that there is nothing in the world that can detain you anymore, in addition, the father and daughter are reunited, and they should be happy, Your Majesty has the grace of knowing and protecting me, even if I am broken, it is difficult to repay it." ”

"Yu Qing, you were born and died for Your Majesty, benevolence and righteousness have arrived, Yu Li, you have just escaped from the prison, serious injuries have not healed, happy to meet a daughter, the old department to meet, when you retire to the rivers and lakes, enjoy peace and ease, you should not be tired of falling into the quagmire. ”

"But you may not know the dire situation in the palace, Qin Yan's Qianji Battalion single-handedly controls the imperial court, Princess Chang'an was kidnapped by him five years ago, Your Majesty is controlled step by step, coupled with the impact of the defeat fifteen years ago, Your Majesty has almost completely lost the right to speak in the palace, if it weren't for me and Yi Zhengtian, these loyal and righteous ministers are struggling to support, I am only afraid of ...... at this time"

"There is such a thing!" Gongsun Yu took the case, and was angry for a while, causing a cough that did not stop.

"Brother Gongsun!" Zhang Jilin walked quickly to Gongsun Yu's side and held him up, seeing that Gongsun Yu's face became more and more pale, Zhang Jilin felt a burst of regret in his heart, and said repeatedly: "Blame me for this matter, I shouldn't have mentioned these messy things to you, now you are angry, your injuries are aggravated, I deserve death!"

"I don't blame you. Gongsun Yu shook his head slowly, withdrew his arm from Zhang Jilin's arms, paced a step, turned around and hugged his fists, made a gesture towards Zhang Jilin, and said solemnly: "Brother Zhang, I admire your loyalty!" At this moment, Gongsun Yu changed his name to Zhang Jilin.

And what Zhang Jilin did today made Gongsun Yu deeply realize that the liver and loyalty of a courtier, and his heroism, compared with those heroes who crisscross the rivers and lakes, are even better! This Brother Zhang represents Gongsun Yu's recognition of Zhang Jilin, and it also means that the famous withered face man and demon are back in the rivers and lakes, ready to stir up the world again!

......

In the middle of the night, the sky was full of stars, Lin Yiqi was pacing alone in the courtyard, the cool breeze blowing in his face made his divergent thoughts slowly converge, and Lin Yiqi had doubts about the capture of the withered face and the demon, the emperor's attitude towards the escape of the withered man and demon was very strange, at first Long Yan was furious, and ordered the withered man and demon to be arrested within three days.

originally thought that the emperor would continue to pay attention to the trend of the case, Lin Yiqi prepared several sets of rhetoric for Xing Dao to prevaricate, but he didn't expect that after Long Yan was furious, there was no movement in the palace, and the emperor seemed to have forgotten about the escape of the withered man and demon from prison, and Lord Yi was also leisurely every day, calling friends to go to the house to drink tea and play chess when he had nothing to do, and he didn't take the dismissal to heart at all.

The more Lin Yiqi thought about it, the more chaotic he became, feeling like he had stepped into the quagmire and couldn't extricate himself, he let out a long sigh, seeing that the hour was still early, and walked out.

There is no curfew in the Yue Dynasty, and when it is approaching, the streets are also full of people, and the fireworks and willow alleys by the river are even more crowded, and all kinds of people come here with completely different moods, or proud, or sad, or tired, or happy.

Find a small shop by the river, spend some broken silver, order a few plates of side dishes, a pot of wine, and sing about wine.

The surplus of silver money in the bag, you can also fold flowers to board the boat, the folding flowers mentioned here are not to fold a bouquet of flowers at will, but to spend ten taels of silver to buy the fake flowers in the hands of the girl who guards the bridge, folded with red paper, with this bouquet of fake flowers, you can board the painting boat.

Lin Yiqi stopped by the river, watched the scene of singing and dancing on the painting boat for a while, and felt a feeling in his heart, I can come here every night to have fun after I don't catch my head.

"Childe, do you want to fold flowers and board the boat?" The girl guarding the bridge saw that Lin Yiqi had been here for a long time, and took the initiative to lean up, Lin Yiqi looked at it attentively, this girl not only has a sweet voice, but also has a superior appearance and figure...... If I don't have money, what kind of elegance do I have?

"Thank you for the kindness of the girl, I have invited my friends here, and I will look for them later, I am afraid that I will not be able to board the ship today to meet with many talented and beautiful people. Lin Yiqi laughed and said goodbye to the beauty.

Walking upstream along the river, the figures became more and more sparse, and in the end, Lin Yiqi was the only one left, feeling the silence around him, Lin Yiqi decided to turn back, and then look at the beautiful girl who was guarding the painting boat.

Just thinking about this in my heart, there was a sudden sound of rustling by the river, Lin Yiqi looked for prestige, and the slender girl was standing by the river, twisting her trouser legs vigorously, she was wet, as if she had just gotten up from the water.

The surface of the lake is as smooth as a mirror, the sky full of stars is reflected in it, the fragmentary moonlight is sprinkled through the dark clouds, like the nine heavens of the Milky Way falling down, dyeing a layer of white between the heaven and the earth like a dream, the girl stepped on the bluestone bricks with bare feet, slowly fading off the clothes soaked in the river on her body, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.

Although Lin Yiqi is not a gentleman, he is by no means a villain, seeing the hibiscus girl by the river take off his clothes, he immediately turned around and left this place quickly.

"Who's over there?!" The girl seemed to have excellent hearing, and when she heard the sound of Lin Yiqi's small footsteps when she left, she picked up the wet clothes on the side and wrapped them around her body, kicked her legs, and the whole person swept by like a shock, and caught up with Lin Yiqi in the blink of an eye.

"Girl, let's have something to say, put down the sword first, it's not good to hurt someone. Lin Yiqi raised his hands helplessly, this Nizi's kung fu is really good, it was only an instant to catch up with herself, she stood still, drew her sword, and sealed her throat in one go, so that she didn't even have a chance to resist.

"What do I have to say to you, a disciple, even if this girl kills you with a sword, you deserve it!" The cold light in the girl's eyes flowed, and she stared at Lin Yiqi viciously, her teeth were bitten slightly, and the long sword in her hand advanced again.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't mess around! I really walked there unintentionally, I swear to God, I really didn't know you were undressing by the river!" Lin Yiqi wanted to cry without tears.

"Is this true?" Seeing the man in front of her with tears in her eyes, the girl couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that she really blamed him?

The girl was about to put down the long sword in her hand, her heart shook suddenly, and the originally cowardly man in front of her suddenly became difficult, and with a bang, Lin Yiqi suddenly pulled out the knife, knocked the long sword in the girl's hand away, and strode up with the momentum of thunder.

By the river under the moon, a sudden battle made the knife-wielding Xiaoyu meet fate.
