Travel to the Water Margin

Chapter 127 Lin Youde Takes the Imperial Examination

The cold wind is like a knife, and the clouds are extremely thick. From a distance, the sky and the water are connected, and the darkness is overwhelming.

The waves kept rolling up onto the rocks, hitting a divine boat and several merchant ships.

On the Shenzhou boat, Yang Zhi was holding Pu Dao, and Wu Song was sitting cross-legged on the deck, holding a wine jar and drinking.

Lu Zhishen, Zhang Qing and 1 armored cavalry were left in Koguryo by Lin Youde.

Someone needs to be there to watch, after all, the work of the cornerstone shipyards of the future of maritime trade cannot be stopped.

There was a crack of thunder, a flash of light in the thick clouds, and a man standing motionless on the bow of the ship.

The figure had long hair draped over his shoulders, half-hidden his face; he held a knife tightly in both hands, took a slow breath, and the veins in his right hand were exposed.

Mountain-like waves swept in front of him, taking him into a bottomless abyss in just a second.

But before this moment, Lin Youde's gaze was as sharp as lightning, and he shouted: "Wind Zhan."

In an instant, a green light rose into the sky, and the waves in front of him suddenly disappeared.

"Okay!!!" Wu Song's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly, "Is this the legendary internal energy? I always thought that only Brother Yang and Coach Lin had it."

"Congratulations, my lord, congratulations to my lord. You have stepped into the ranks of first-class masters." Lin Chong clasped his fists and continued to congratulate.

"Haha, it's just a trick, I'm just a trick, Monk Hua, you have to work hard!" Lin Youde laughed and patted Wu Song's shoulder.

The flower girl stood in front of the rudder, looking at the white waves in the sky, clapping her hands and smiling, infatuated.

Looking at the shadow of the sails on the sea, he saw the sky filled with thunder and golden waves, which set off his figure as if he was in a painting.

"Hi! We're almost arriving in Dengzhou!!" Zhao Jinfu said on the upper deck, stepping on the railing and shaking a paper fan.

"Yes, Master Zhao."

At this time, they were already far enough to see the black outline of the mainland.

After a 5-day sea trip, the two-month trip to Koguryo and Neon officially came to an end.

On the straight official road, the car is bumpy and the horse is as fast as flying.

Those on horseback would ride on horseback, and those without horses would run behind and follow the formation to hold down the formation.

The people in Dengzhou stood aside and cheered from time to time. Zhao Jinfu was sitting in the carriage, and other people and horses were also galloping on both sides of the carriage. The almost spacious official road was completely crowded by the people.

"Master Zhao is back!!"

"Master Lin! General Lin is back!"

In the team, Lin Chong and Wu Song smiled and waved to the common people, and even Yang Zhi's mouth turned up. They have lived for decades, and they have never been more beautiful than they are now.

And Lin Youde sat on the big horse, enjoying the sunshine, humming a little tune, with a lazy look that made people want to kick a few times.

"My lord, you are finally back!!"

Master Zhu waved his long whip, shouting excitedly from time to time.

In his opinion, galloping is obviously much more enjoyable than traveling slowly.

Lin Youde's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly: "Master Zhu, you have gained a lot of weight recently? In Feige's biography, you said that you married a little maid? You are very lucky!"

Master Zhu smiled apologetically, "Thank you for your help, sir, thank you for your help."

Lin Youde shook his head and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get anything? Oh! I remember, tigress!"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

"Bah! You're an idiot!" Zhao Jinfu didn't know when he appeared, kicked him, and strode over with Hua Niang.

At least nearly a thousand ordinary people gathered on the pipeline.

Lin Youde turned around and shouted: "I'm back! I'm back!! The one who should kiss his mother-in-law, the one who should hug the flower girl, the one who should hit the child, go back and beat the child..."

The people on both sides were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

Hua Niang blushed, covered her face, and quickly walked into her residence.

As soon as Lin Youde returned to his kennel that had been vacant for more than two months, he met Zhao Jinfu's maid who had been neglected for more than two months, and brought two sets of clothes, excellent silk and satin, and a letter.

It says Lin Youde personally.

Lin Youde opened it with a puzzled expression, "I will meet you in the mansion garden tonight when the moon is full. Zhao Zi."

"Okay, I'll go there later."

What the hell?Zhao Jinfu didn't tell me face to face just now?
He had planned to keep his promise.

In the evening, Lin Youde came to the garden and saw Zhao Jinfu, dressed in snow-white uniform with golden trim, but with a hero tied on his head. He looked heroic, shaking his fan and looking at the moon alone.

Lin Youde strode over, sat down by himself, picked up vegetables and ate meat.

After Zhao Jinfu looked at him, he said, "Didn't you eat before you came? Leave that medicinal soup behind! It's mine!"

Lin Youde tasted it, rolled his eyes, and said, "Your medicinal soup is really weird, it tastes so weird, I'll pay you back." Then he pushed the medicine bowl to Zhao Jinfu.

Zhao Jinfu's pretty face began to turn red, and then silently picked up the bowl, drank it in one gulp, and then said:

"Do you know why I called you here?"

Lin Youde was also surprised, and asked, "What's the matter? Which family's big girl do you like?"

"Pooh."

Thinking of this, Zhao Jinfu's pretty face turned slightly hot, and he quickly covered it up: "I sent someone to fetch the file of the Peng Li case, and today it is in my hands. Do you know what I found?"

Lin Youde shrugged and said, "Are you talking directly? Is that how you think of me, a reckless man?"

Zhao Jinfu said expressionlessly: "According to the file, the Ministry of War sent a hundred imperial troops to Dengzhou to escort Peng Li back to Beijing for questioning, but when the imperial troops arrived at Peng's mansion, Peng's mansion was gone."

The two looked at each other.

Lin Youde became angry for no reason, and said angrily: "The mask organization should be killed."

Zhao Jinfu gave him a hard look, and sighed: "The inside of the imperial army is not clean. I plan to leave for Beijing tomorrow. Since I promised Huaniang, I will give her and Peng Li an explanation for this matter."

"I will apply to the authorities for a thorough investigation."

Lin Youde nodded and said, "I'll go with you."

Zhao Jinfu said lightly: "I don't want to bring Huaniang this time."

Lin Youde was stunned: "Why? Wouldn't it be better and more convenient for us to have her around?"

"We are a group of people with a woman, unclear and inconvenient."

Lin Youde was speechless after hearing this, and finally let out a breath of cold air and said, "Are you talking about me? You must be talking about me, right?"

Zhao Jinfu said softly: "To be honest, you don't really like Hua Niang, do you? Think about it, the daughter of the former Hu Yi Lang is a match for your current Hu Yi Lang, even though she is an old girl."

Lin Youde lost his voice and said, "Ahem, you are spreading rumors, Lao Zhao! We have gone through so many turmoil, and we are all friends. How can you let her face others like this."

"Hehe," Zhao Jinfu cast an angry glance at Lin Youde, and the whole world could see that Hua Niang's thoughts were nothing but a fool like you.

"Let me tell you the truth, when I return to Beijing, apart from the matter of Hua Niang, I also need to thoroughly investigate the matter of masks being mixed into the imperial examination. There is another important matter that I need your help with."

"Tell me, if you need me, I'm obliged, as long as it doesn't cost me!" Lin Youde patted his chest.

A smile escaped from the corner of Zhao Jinfu's mouth, and he said casually: "As soon as I show up in Bianliang, I will be discovered immediately, so the imperial examination depends on you!"

Lin Youde lost his voice and said: "You want me to take part in the imperial examination? Is it just a rough guy like me? I can only write my own name!"

"Ahem," Zhao Jinfu said impatiently, "Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle. Since the mask organization wants to disrupt the imperial examinations and hinder the world's scholars from entering the imperial examinations, I have a special status and cannot participate in the imperial examinations. I can only rely on you."

Lin Youde asked with a look of surprise: "You know, I can only read, can't I write anything other than my own name?"

Zhao Jinfu said unhappily: "I will arrange these at that time!! Who am I! Don't worry, the imperial examination is over, I will give you a big gift!"

"Big gift? What kind of gift?"

"There is a place in my fief Chengdu Mansion with a hundred tigers."

"System: Host! Agree quickly!!"

Lin Youde was greatly shocked. Under such severe coercion and inducement, he readily agreed.
