Chapter 8: Temptation of Doubt (I)
It was Liu Lin's personal soldier who knocked on the door, his mouth was spitting with wine, and his eyes were a little straight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhu Yushi said strangely: "The helper and the prince are discussing important matters, what are you going to do?" The pro-soldier said: "How do I know, you just go quickly." Zhu Yushi had no choice but to follow him up to the third floor. The number of wings on the third floor is small, but all of them are luxury suites, designed to host VIPs. Liu Lin lived in the Tianzi wing in the middle.
Zhu Yushi stood outside the door and knocked lightly, only to hear Lei Zhen say, "Come in." Zhu Yushi pushed the door and walked in, and saw that there were two suites inside, the outer hall was extremely luxurious, and the windows were wide open, and you could see the soft Liuqing Lake in the distance. Liu Lin sat on the Taishi chair in the middle, playing with a jade teacup, looking at him strangely, still haunted by his identity as Zhu Zhirui's fiancé. Lei Zhen and Lin Lingsu sat on both sides, and in the middle was a long table of pear blossom wood, on which were placed all kinds of exquisite refreshments. Lei Zhen patted the Taishi chair beside him and said, "Brother Fu, please take a seat." Zhu Yushi had no choice but to sit down as he said.
Lin Lingsu showed a worried look on his face and asked, "Is he really good?" Lei Zhen said: "I can't think of a more competent candidate besides him." Lin Lingsu nodded and said, "Okay, there must be no problem with the person recommended by the Lei Gang Master." Lei Zhen said: "Brother Fu, we called you here because we entrusted you with one thing. Liu Lin suddenly said: "It's two things. Lei Zhen seemed to have expected Liu Lin to say this, and said lightly: "There is only one thing here for me." Liu Lin said unhappily: "You are his helper, can't you order him?" Lei Zhen frowned and said: "I have just said that even if it is for the sake of His Highness, I will never break up my brother's marriage, this is not a matter of order, but a matter of principle." ”
Zhu Yushi realized that Liu Lin wanted Lei Zhen to order him in order to get Zhu Zhirui, obviously Lei Zhen had refused, and he was secretly grateful in his heart, thinking that even if Lei Zhen was a hero, he was also righteous. Liu Lin said to Lei Zhen again: "Then the king asked you, is the friendship between the Great Qi Kingdom and the Ma Gang important, or is the bullshit brotherhood important?" Lei Zhen said: "The brother is here, and the Ma Gang is here." The Ma Gang is gone, and what friendship is there with Qi State. Weak countries have no diplomacy, and if our caravan does not have the strength, how can your country cooperate with us. We are inseparable from each other. Liu Lin sneered: "Don't put gold on your face, and cooperate with you all for the sake of your ability." The territory of your horse gang is nothing more than a small hill, and it can only survive by relying on my Great Qi Kingdom, and according to this king, the relationship between master and servant is real. ”
Not only did Lei Zhen's face sink, but even Lin Lingsu felt that what Liu Lin said was too much, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness's words are wrong, the Ma Gang has risen very strongly in recent years, with abundant money and food, and enough soldiers and food, otherwise Tubo would not have sent them an invitation." Liu Lin said: "That is also because of our Qi country to have today, now that the wings of Jue are hard, I want to be on an equal footing with my Great Qi Kingdom, don't forget that our Great Qi Kingdom can not only achieve you, but also destroy you." Lei Zhen sneered: "It's impossible to destroy it now." Liu Lin sneered: "Who said that." Lei Zhen said: "I said it." Liu Lin sneered: "The Lei Gang Master is too ignorant of practice." Lei Zhen said: "I'm afraid that it is His Royal Highness who doesn't know the current affairs, do you know that there are people from my horse gang in every city in Qi country, and they know the situation of Qi country well, and the strength of my horse gang is only afraid that His Royal Highness the prince doesn't know about it." Liu Lin said: "I don't understand, the eyes of this king are all the world, and I can't see a small mountain." ”
Lei Zhen smiled: "But there are 20,000 soldiers gathered on this small hill. The main forces of your Qi State are stationed in the east, and the south pass is in defense of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Blood Sword Fort, so that the defenders in most of the cities are only a few hundred people, and even some small cities have less than a hundred people. If I raise 20,000 people to pour out of the nest, I believe that it will be effortless to sweep through dozens of cities in the Central Plains. I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince believes it?" Liu Lin said with a pale face: "Don't forget that there is also the Jin Kingdom behind my Great Qi Kingdom, can you afford it?" Lei Zhen said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't forget that the opponents of the Jin Kingdom are the Southern Song Dynasty and the Blood Sword Castle, as long as I form an alliance with them at that time and make an appointment to divide the Central Plains equally after repelling the Jin soldiers, I believe that Yue Fei and Luo Tianchu will agree without hesitation." And the only one who was destroyed at that time was the Qi State. So I just said that the relationship between lips and teeth has been given to His Highness. The actual situation is that if we are forced to become the enemies of your country, the Qi country will be attacked on its back, and its destruction will only be in the day. Liu Lin's face turned even paler, and he was speechless. Lin Lingsu said with a smile: "The Lei Gang Master is just making an analogy, and he will definitely not take it seriously." Lei Zhen smiled: "Of course, it's just talking on paper to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understand the situation." ”
Liu Lin finally had no choice but to give in and said: "Okay, if this king doesn't force you to give an order, this king can discuss it with Hall Master Fu himself." Lei Zhen said: "That's a matter between you, as long as you are willing, I will never interfere." Liu Lin said: "That's good." Master Fu, this king has something I want to ask you for. Zhu Yushi had already guessed what he wanted to say, but he still asked, "Please make it clear to Your Highness." Liu Lin said: "This king knows that Miss Zhu is your fiancée, but this king is lovesick with her, fascinated, as long as you are willing to dissolve the marriage contract, no matter how big an official you want to be, how much gold and silver you want, this king can satisfy you, you can open your mouth, this king will never bargain" Zhu Yushi didn't even think about it after hearing it, and replied directly: "I don't agree." Liu Lin was stunned and said: "Why do you refuse such a generous condition? Being an official can glorify your ancestors, and money is omnipotent, and you can wave as many women as you want." And all you have lost is a fiancée, maybe one day she will not look down on you and break off the marriage contract with you, and you will be empty of both people and money. Zhu Yushi didn't bother to explain to him, but still said, "I don't agree." Liu Lin's mouth was crooked, and he said, "Then how can you agree." ”
Lei Zhen said for Zhu Yushi: "I know Brother Fu's temperament best, even if His Highness gives him the position of ****, it will not work." If it weren't for Brother Fu's differences, how could Miss Zhu favor him. Liu Lin said in a deep voice: "Toast and don't eat and drink, this king has given you a chance, but you don't want it." Even if you don't agree with this king, you will fight for it, and if you are sincere, you won't believe that you can't impress Miss Zhu. Zhu Yushi said lightly: "Your Highness wants to pursue the freedom of who is Your Highness, Miss Zhu wants to choose who is also her freedom, and she will not interfere with it." Liu Lin slapped his thigh and shouted, "Okay! Go ahead and talk. With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
After he left, Lin Lingsu said: "Your Highness is used to being spoiled, if you offend the two of you, Poor Dao will take him to make amends." Lei Zhen said: "It's okay, let's get down to business quickly." Lin Lingsu nodded and said, "We want to find out the truth, if we expect it to be true, we want to invite Hall Master Fu to come and end this matter." Zhu Yushi wanted to dismantle him, but he still calmed down and said, "What the truth." Lin Lingsu said word for word: "The truth that Tieying has taken refuge in my Great Qi Country." Zhu Yushi was secretly taken aback, and said quietly: "Isn't Tie Ying the young man in black? What's wrong with him?" Lin Lingsu said: "He turned out to be a person from the Blood Knife Castle, he said that the thief of the Blood Knife Castle killed his father, although he had a heart of revenge in his heart, but he was afraid that the people of the Blood Knife Castle would cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so he swallowed his anger and continued to stay in the Blood Knife Castle." About half a year ago, he escaped while Luo Tianchu and others were traveling far away, and surrendered to our Great Qi Kingdom. His iron palm is deeply inherited by his father Tie Han, and he is considered a first-class master, and we have taken him very seriously, but in an operation to capture the inner line of the Blood Knife Castle, we pounced. The news was accurate, and he was the only one who was the most suspicious of the insiders, so we became suspicious of him. (To be continued.) )
