One day, Lin Fengsheng was grooming the white horse by the stable, and Mei Ruoxue and Chen Fengyi came back. The two daughters both looked depressed and found nothing. Lin Fengsheng asked the reason, and Mei Ruoxue said indignantly: "Sister Fengyi and I first went to the palace to ask to see the emperor, but the palace guards and eunuchs did not give the message, saying that the emperor has every opportunity, and recently he has been bothered by the crimes committed in the south of Mongolia, and he has no time to see us." It's not easy for us to break in, so we didn't even see the emperor's face. ”

Duan Zhengyu sighed faintly when he heard this: "Alas, I don't know if my father has been in good health recently, don't work too hard." "There was a look of concern on his face.

Mei Ruoxue glanced at her, and said angrily: "How do I know Lu Dao, he refuses to see us." ”

Miaole and Guo Xian'er and others heard the sound and were very happy to see each other. Several pro-army generals and colonels also came forward to offer false condolences, and they were quite gloating in their hearts.

Duan Zhengyu felt quite sorry in his heart, and said with a red face: "I'm really sorry for the two sisters, my father doesn't know about it, otherwise he will definitely be summoned in time if he says anything." ”

Chen Fengyi took Duan Zhengyu's hand and comforted: "The father-in-law is also kind, I don't want the emperor to worry too much." Ruoxue and I don't dare to complain about the emperor, my sister should not be too careful. ”

Mei Ruoxue snorted, turned her head and said nothing, angry in her heart. I don't know whether to blame the guards and eunuchs or the emperor.

Seeing this, Duan Zhengyu felt quite aggrieved, and said in a low voice: "Sister Ruoxue, don't be angry, okay? You tell me who the guards and eunuchs on duty that day are, and I will punish them well after I go back." After a pause, he said: "These minions are too confused, even if they don't know Sister Fengyi, they should always know you." You have traveled thousands of miles to return to Beijing like this, and a fool knows that there is something important about the Dao. ”

Mei Ruoxue said: "How do I know what those stinky guards and dead eunuchs are called, they dare to despise this girl so much, you must punish them heavily!" After speaking, she couldn't help but laugh.

The crowd laughed too.

Lin Fengsheng frowned slightly and said, "The subordinates also have the emperor's dragon body, but didn't you hand over my handwritten letter to the guards and let them pass it on to the emperor?"

Chen Fengyi said: "Sister Ruoxue and I have also thought about it, but if we don't hand it over to the emperor by hand, we will always feel at ease. Later, he asked Marshal Gao to transfer it on his behalf. ”

Lin Fengsheng was surprised: "Marshal Gao, have you seen him?"

Mei Ruoxue said: "Yes, as the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, turtles are originally eight kinds of kings, Gao Zhicheng is such a scoundrel, and his uncle is probably not a good thing to come, so we originally didn't want to see him." Unfortunately, I met him at the gate of the palace. ”

Chen Fengyi, Guo Xian'er and Duan Zhengyu couldn't help but snicker when they heard it. Miaole and other heroes heard her funny, and laughed together.

Lin Fengsheng was secretly amused in his heart, glanced at the several pro-army generals present, and saw that several of them were full of embarrassment, and hurriedly laughed and scolded: "Cousin, don't make a mistake!"

Mei Ruoxue grinned, stuck out her tongue, and grimaced.

Lin Fengsheng asked again: "What advice does Marshal Gao have?"

Chen Fengyi said: "After Sister Ruoxue and I met Marshal Gao, we begged him to take us to see the emperor, and he said that if we were not summoned by the emperor, we could not face the saint without permission. We had to tell him what was going on, and he told us to give him the letter, saying that it would be forwarded to the emperor as soon as possible. He didn't say anything, took the letter and went home. ”

Mei Ruoxue smiled and said, "What kind of lowly status can't face the saint, I walked in and out of the palace, and I don't know how many times Lu Dao has seen the emperor." This old thing is intent on making things difficult for us. ”

Lin Fengsheng didn't want to fight in person, and said: "You can't say that, Marshal Gao is also for your good." It is said that if the people have grievances that are difficult to file, they need to ask the emperor to administer justice, first to slap their mouths fifty times, and then roll the nail bed and hit the board, cousin, you should tell me, are you willing to suffer from this flesh and skin?"

Mei Ruoxue exclaimed: "Ah, there is such a thing! I naturally don't want to, but a fool is willing, why hit me for no reason." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and involuntarily took a step back.

When everyone saw her innocent appearance, they couldn't help laughing.

Chen Fengyi said: "Marshal Gao was at the gate of the palace at the time, and we saw that she took the letter but did not enter the palace immediately, but we were afraid that there were still a lot of tricks in it, so we went to the Marshal's Mansion to ask Marshal Gao to allocate some grain and grass for us first, so as to solve our urgent needs." Which marshal Gao said that the border war was imminent, and there was really no extra food and salary to distribute. We had to go back empty-handed. ”

When Mei Ruoxue heard Chen Fengyi mention this, her pretty face showed a look of annoyance, and she secretly snorted to herself, and said, "This old thing, most of them listened to the false words of his pus-filled nephew, and deliberately wanted us to look good." ”

Lin Fengsheng also thought like this in his heart, thinking that the failure of asking for food this time must be caused by Gao Zhicheng's obstruction and playing with right and wrong, and according to Gao Xiang's reaction, he was determined to protect his nephew and make it difficult for him.

First, there is a shortage of food and grass, and second, I am afraid that I will be in trouble in the future, and I can't help but frown.

According to Mei Ruoxue, Zhang stammered a large number of rabble from various mountains, adding up to 50,000 or 60,000 people, and now there are only more than 10,000 people coming from the north, but I am afraid that there are still a large number of reinforcements. It is not easy to annihilate them all, and it will take a long time, so that the shortage of food and grass will become the Achilles' heel, and raising food and wages will become an urgent need.

Worried, he waved his hand and said, "Senior sister, cousin, I have worked hard for you this time, so let's go back and rest." ”

Chen Fengyi and Mei Ruoxue learned that he must be worried about the matter of food, and you comforted me softly, and when they saw the white horse Shenjun, they were even more reluctant to leave. Let's help him brush the horse.

The white horse has been very tame for a few days, and he is no longer prone to disorder, but no one can ride it except Lin Fengsheng. If it is forced on horseback, it will be restless, and it will jump one after another, and it will not stop until it turns people upside down.

In the afternoon, the two disciples of the Diancang faction who returned to the north to ask for food also returned to the camp. Under the auspices of Master Kongyuan, Gong Mingxiao, the head of the Diancang faction, and the Hongshi Daoren of Danxia Guan, all the sects and factions in the righteous army donated generously, and the two of them went to raise a total of thousands of stones of rice and grain, and ten thousand taels of silver, which can be regarded as a great harvest. Lin Fengsheng's worries decreased slightly.

Another day later, the Ma Lai reported that a large number of thieves had come north to reinforce them, and a large number of mules were used to pull a few strange things.

Lin Fengsheng was very surprised when he heard this, and his curiosity arose spontaneously, and he wondered: "What is it? Most of it is a powerful siege weapon. He asked, "Where are the thieves who came to help?"

Tanma said: "I have arrived at the bank of the Lishe River. At the moment, he described in detail the shape of what he saw.

Lin Fengsheng couldn't think of what it was after listening to it, so he nodded and said, "Investigate again, if there is any abnormality, report back quickly!" secretly made up his mind in his heart, and when the thieves and reinforcements passed the Lishe River, he would take people to rob and kill, and never let them meet Zhang Jieba.

The detective was ordered to go, and continued to monitor the thieves who came to help.

Mei Ruoxue and Chen Fengyi left for a few days, ignoring the incident here, and seeing that Wuweizi suddenly lost an arm, they asked the reason for knowing that Lin Fengsheng led someone to assassinate Zhang Jieba. I was very sorry that I couldn't be there to participate. However, although the sincerity of the heart is commendable, but I don't know the weight of the price, just because it is inappropriate and hurts the person.

Lin Fengsheng saw that the thief Kou was dormant and did not move, and knew that this was a delaying tactic, aiming to recuperate and wait for reinforcements, so he naturally would not let it sit and wait for nothing. While stepping up the training of the soldiers, he sent people to patrol the vicinity of the bandit camp from time to time.

If a thief is found to be out to loot, he will rob and kill him, causing damage and cutting off his material supply, and preventing him from harming the people, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. There is a saying that the country is easy to change, and the nature of the country is difficult to change, and the thieves sent their minions to do evil from time to time at the beginning, but they learned to be obedient after losing more than 1,000 people after being frustrated one after another.

After Wuweizi lost an arm, he felt that his limbs were incomplete, and he was very depressed, and he was drunk with wine every day. Lin Fengsheng was very apologetic in his eyes, so he passed it on to the method of dividing power and dispersing potential in the "Seven Techniques of Yin Fu in this Sutra".

If this method is successful, you can skillfully distract the enemy's power in the fight, even if the opponent's martial arts are between you and yourself, and your limbs are sound, you can't take advantage of it. For example, two people originally had similar martial arts, but one of them suddenly lost 30% of his limbs due to a change and could only play 70%, but he learned a clever technique of dispersion and dissolution;

Of course, whether you can halve the opponent's power in a fight depends on your own hard work to improve your cultivation.

Wuwei is also a blessing in disguise.
