I saw a figure leap out of the sword lightly, avoiding the sword, and let out a hearty laugh. At this time, the sky outside the tent was already bright, Lin Fengsheng looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy, it turned out that this person was none other than Yu Sanbai.

Lin Fengsheng exhaled "Uncle Yu", and hurriedly threw his sword and got out of bed to greet him.

Yu Sanbai took his hand and said, "I haven't seen your kid's martial arts improve a lot in a few months, if it weren't for this sword with a scabbard, I'm afraid I would be injured by your sword qi." It turned out that he was in a hurry and didn't have time to draw his sword, so he stabbed it out with the sheath of his sword.

Lin Fengsheng said with a smile: "Uncle Yu smiled, who can hurt you Yu Daxia in the rivers and lakes today?"

Yu Sanbai smiled and bounced a violent shiver on his forehead, and said, "Still so flamboyant, where have you been in the past few months, have you suffered?"

Lin Fengsheng told what happened after he was taken captive that night, and Yu Sanbai said: "This is called Jiren's own natural appearance, and if he loses his horse, he will not know whether it is a blessing." It's good to come back safely, Uncle Yu's heart is full of joy. ”

The two sat down on the bed hand in hand, and Lin Fengsheng asked, "Have you been in the palace all along? Didn't you promise to help the emperor find the princess, did you find it?"

Yu Sanbai said: "The princess has already returned to the palace, but from time to time, there are anti-thief henchmen who come to the palace to roam, and I can't pull out to find you." He shook Lin Fengsheng's hand vigorously, and there was a sense of apology in his eyes.

Lin Fengsheng said: "The emperor is the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and his safety is related to the country's social welfare, and he should be safed and thorough. Uncle Yu doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Yu Sanbai nodded and said, "It's good if you can figure it out, and it's not too late for me to talk about the rest." I'm here to take you into the palace, and Duan Xingzhi wants to see you. "I think the officer surnamed Gao has reported the news to the emperor.

At this time, Yun'er came in with a basin and said, "Fengsheng, wash your face." When he looked up and saw Yu Sanbai, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Lin Fengsheng said: "Yun'er, you came just in time, come and see Uncle Yu." ”

Yun'er saw that the two of them were very affectionate, and knew that Lin Fengsheng had a very close relationship with this old man, so she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said, "Yun'er has seen her predecessors." ”

Yu Sanbai was very happy, and said twice, "No need to be polite", looked at Yun'er carefully, and said secretly: "It's not bad for this little girl to be my nephew and daughter-in-law." ”

After Lin Fengsheng finished washing, the officer surnamed Gao was already waiting outside the tent. The four of them entered the palace, and a eunuch greeted them and said softly: "Mr. Yu, the emperor invites a few people to meet in the side hall, please come with the old slave." "Lead the way.

After passing through the winding corridor, he came to an elegant hall, where Duan Xingzhi was sitting in the middle and waiting. The eunuch said, "Please Mr. Yu and Lin Gongzi and this girl to meet first, and General Gao will wait here." The officer bowed in agreement, and stood outside the hall door.

Lin Fengsheng and Yun'er stepped forward to bow down and say goodbye, Duan Xingzhi personally helped him into the guest seat, and said: "The virtuous nephew used his wonderful martial arts to defeat the thief that day, and he is really a blessing for the widow. Ever since you were kidnapped by the thieves who slipped through the net, the widow has been very worried. Now that you have returned safely, the widow is finally relieved. ”

Lin Fengsheng said: "I am tired of the emperor's worries, and I am afraid of it." ”

Duan Xingzhi waved his hand and smiled: "The widow and your Uncle Yu are old friends, you don't need to be so polite to me, if you don't dislike it, it's okay to call me uncle." ”

Lin Fengsheng was flattered, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "I can't help it, the emperor's words can kill the villain." ”

Yu Sanbai and Duan Xingzhi saw his embarrassed expression, and when they saw him, they laughed, and Yun'er also smiled.

Duan Xingzhi said again: "The few people know that you have read the books of sages and sages, and you are well versed in the way of kings and ministers, but as the so-called king has no jokes, how can you take back what you have said, in short, you and I don't have to stick to these vulgar rituals." Lin Fengsheng had to thank him again.

Yu Sanbai said: "Feng Sheng, I heard that you caught a group of deserters in Jizu Mountain, but is there such a thing?"

Lin Fengsheng said: "There is such a thing, but they were also instigated and provoked by traitors, which was not their original intention. ”

Duan Xingzhi stroked his long beard and said loudly: "General Gao, come in, I have something to ask you!"

The officer knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The last general was confused for a while, and mistakenly believed the ghost words of the evil villain, please ask the emperor to learn from it." ”

Duan Xingzhi snorted heavily, and said abruptly: "You accepted bribes and led troops to harass the Buddhist resorts without authorization, causing many monks in the Pagoda Temple to be killed and injured, don't you know?"

The officer kowtowed again and again: "The last general heard that there were imperial court criminals hiding in the temple, so it was the last general who dared to go and arrest him." The last general did not mean it, please be gracious to the emperor. ”

Duan Xingzhi said in a fierce voice: "That's it, but the Mongolian army has already come south, and as a general, not only do you not think about serving the country with your body, but you also have the heart to defect, can you be guilty?"

When the officer saw that the emperor was angry, his face was as frightened as earth, but he kept kowtowing and banging, and shouted vigorously, "The emperor is gracious, and the emperor spares his life."

Lin Fengsheng said in his heart: "It seems that he did not enter the palace to report this matter by himself, the enemy is at present, but the generals and soldiers of the DPRK and China are so greedy for life and afraid of death, the emperor is inevitably a little chilled." ”

Duan Xingzhi shouted: "Greedy for life and afraid of death, no backbone, what's the use of me leaving you, come here! Drag out and behead!" Four guards rushed in from outside the hall, picked up the officer and dragged him out.

Lin Fengsheng got up and said, "Wait, Your Majesty, I have something to say." ”

Duan Xingzhi said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Lin Fengsheng said: "The nuisance of Buddhism is caused by the traitors on the rivers and lakes who lied about the enemy's situation, this general is also loyal to send troops without authorization, and it is normal for the two sides to hold each other and hurt each other, as for the defection of the soldiers, they were intimidated and instigated by the villain." Now that the Mongolian Tartar army is pressing the border, the emperor really shouldn't lose a brave general, and ask the emperor to be merciful and spare General Gao this time. ”

Duan Xingzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Since Lin Gongzi intercedes for you, then I will give you a chance to atone for your sins, and you will immediately lead your troops to Shitang Pass to garrison." You know the skills of Mr. Yu and Lin Gongzi, and if you dare to run away in fear, it will be easy for me to take your head. ”

The officer was grateful, and kept kowtowing to Duan Xingzhi to thank him.

Duan Xingzhi waved his hand and said, "Get out! ”

The officer bowed his head again, obediently retreated, and looked at Lin Fengsheng before leaving, his eyes were full of complicated affection, and he was both grateful and ashamed.

Duan Xingzhi sighed and said: "Alas, this kid is the grandson of my old general Gao He, nine years ago the Tatars invaded Linguan, and the old general Gao He was martyred in battle, and he was deeply respected by the court. On weekdays, after everyone respects him as a loyal martyr, they take good care of him and tolerate him everywhere, which is why he is so arrogant. Letting him go this time is also to leave some affection for his grandfather in the spirit of the sky. It's just that in this way, there is inevitably some suspicion of bending the law for personal gain, but I am afraid that it will not be enough to convince the army. ”

Lin Fengsheng said: "The emperor doesn't have to worry about this, since General Gao sent troops without authorization this time, his actions must be very secretive, and the army must know very little, as long as we don't say it, no one will know about it." ”

Yu Sanbai said: "The first thing that the Tartars came to commit was Shitang Pass, and the emperor sent him to garrison to make meritorious contributions. ”

Duan Xingzhi nodded slightly, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, it's not a loss of interest." In the evening, the widow has a banquet in the back garden, and the virtuous nephew and the girl must enjoy it. Lin Fengsheng and Yun'er got up together and thanked them.

Duan Xingzhi said again: "The strong enemy is coming, and I don't know how many happy days there will be, as the so-called life must be happy, there is wine today and drunk today, you and this girl will live in the palace these days, everyone will be lively together." After a pause, he said: "You have suffered for most of the past six months, so go down and rest." So he instructed the steward and eunuch to arrange guest rooms for Lin Fengsheng and Yun'er.

Yun'er entered the palace for the first time, and saw that the palace was full of pavilions and pavilions, and the carved railings and paintings were extremely luxurious, and she couldn't help but be relaxed and breathtaking. The rooms of the two were connected, and the palace maid brought refined pastries, and the two sat down to eat together.

Just after a few bites, a palace maid came in and saluted, "The slave and maid have greeted the two distinguished guests." ”

Yun'er said: "This sister, you are too polite, have you eaten a snack? Let's eat some together." ”

The palace maid said: "No, the slave maid is here to invite Lin Gongzi to a place." After saying that, he snickered.

Lin Fengsheng said curiously: "May I ask this sister, who is looking for it?"

The palace maid pursed her lips and smiled: "The prince will know the Tao when he goes, please come with me." ”

Yun'er said: "I'll go too, we just happened to be looking around in the palace." ”

The palace maid said: "The master instructed that only Lin Gongzi should be invited to go alone, and the girl was asked to forgive me." If the girl is interested, she can play in the palace at will. ”

Lin Fengsheng said: "Yun'er, you have a good rest in the room, I'll come when I go." ”

Although Yun'er was a little unhappy in her heart, she didn't want to insist on it, so she just said, "Okay, then you have to come back quickly." ”

Lin Fengsheng nodded, followed the palace maid to the depths of the palace, and thought as he walked: "No one in the palace knows me except the emperor, if the emperor looks for me, he will let the eunuch come to announce it, and besides, we will meet just now, so naturally it will not be the emperor." If you want to say Uncle Yu, you should come by yourself. Who the hell could it be?"
