fierce fox

Some excellent ingredients, over time, they also got used to getting some benefits from Eunuch Zeng.

After all, he is a celebrity who serves the emperor, how many people in the world can have this status?Even a few good words inadvertently are enough to keep Tiejianfang decorated with lights for a long time, and the seemingly inconspicuous salary is enough for them to exchange pots of good wine and eat a few taels of meat.

What's more, they didn't dare to take Zeng Luan's face seriously.

The blacksmith has stayed in the workshop almost since he was born. He hasn't read many books, hasn't heard a few stories about the past, and doesn't know how many twists and turns there are.

Seeing that the celebrities around the emperor were so polite to them, he couldn't help but feel complacent, thinking that the humble blacksmith workshop in his corner was no worse than those pompous imperial guards, and maybe even more valued.You can't help but hold your head high when you walk.

So occasionally Eunuch Zeng asked him for some ironware, and they would just turn a blind eye and close their eyes to give it.

Moreover, Eunuch Zeng is also good at picking people, almost all the people he sent were very well-behaved, they didn't cry or make trouble, and they didn't cause any trouble.If some of them are difficult to discipline at the beginning, then it's okay, and they will be honest after a few beatings.

And in order to allow the two of them to always taste the freshest food, Zeng changed a group of people two years ago.

All of this seems to be logical, except for the occasional accidental death of a few people.

But the blacksmith father and son have been blacksmithing iron for half their lives, how can those younger children stand their evil spirits, they will indeed die from time to time.

"The owner of the cloth in my hand is the daughter of the elder sister's family next door to my hometown, and there are a few older brothers on top, who really can't afford it. I wanted to find a brothel to exchange for some money, but my mother stopped me when she saw it. Send them to Beijing and entrust me to take care of them..." Little Eunuch Lu slowly bent down, buried his head in the cloth in his hands, trembling all over, maybe because of anger, maybe because of guilt.

His mother did have some unsophisticated thoughts at the beginning, but he still abided by the bottom line of being a human being and did not cross half a step.

"I have long been a eunuch and lost the qualifications to be an elder. After I got the bell flower, I was very happy, but I also knew that what I followed Zeng Luan all along was some shady deeds. I will suffer disaster in the future. I am afraid I will die badly. I wanted to raise her up, so I helped her find a good family and left this place, but I never expected that the traitor Zeng Luan would find her, cough cough..."

Little Eunuch Lu leaned over and said up to this point, his blood poured down, and he coughed suddenly. When they raised their heads, everyone found that the only space on the clothes that was not stained red by blood had been doused with fresh blood.

There was black and red blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, but he wiped it casually disapprovingly, and continued, "At that time, Zeng Luan knew that I must not be willing, so he relied on his seniority and arranged for me to be on duty for several days in a row, so he couldn't go. Look at Bell Flower... I didn't know until I finally returned from work...it was too late."

"What a cute girl, she can fetch the water and clean up the house by herself, and she is unwilling to find some servants to help her. She said that she came from a poor family and is not delicate. She looked for some poems and books to let her learn to read."

Zeng Luan saw that the girl was good-looking and quiet-tempered, so he sent her there purely as a tool to win over the blacksmith. Anyway, everything his godson had was given to him, and if he really wanted to take Xiao Lu away by force, there was no way.

When Xiao Lu hurried to the blacksmith workshop, it was already too late.The child has died at the hands of the two.

The blacksmith father and son didn't know that Zeng Luan had forcibly obtained the child from Eunuch Lu. Seeing a familiar face coming, they greeted him and threw the body into the ice cellar to be burned in the burning barrel next time.

Little Eunuch Lu lost all hope and went to change Linghua's blood-stained coat. There were still a few children lying in the ice cellar of the blacksmith father and son. When Bellhua was burned, they could hardly remember the details of her clothes.

"It's because I'm too cowardly..." Little Eunuch Lu said with a sorrowful smile, "I dare not do anything or say anything, and I dare not even fight. I have done a lot of evil things in my hands, but I lost one person and died tragically because of me. retribution."

After coughing up blood, his suppressed sickness quickly spread all over his face, "I vomited blood late at night, and went to check the pulse. I knew that the tuberculosis had already entered the bones, and there was no way to recover..."

Then do one more thing and turn him upside down.

I have endured it for many years, I have endured it for many years, and I even followed them to do things that hurt the sky and reason. In the end, even I didn't know whether I had the courage to do the bloody thing that was originally planted in my heart. Maybe I have already become one of the demons , I just don't know it yet.

Everyone was silent, watching little Eunuch Lu hunched over, tightly clutching the half of the bloody garment in his hand, covering his face, his hoarse crying echoed in the hall.

"Then do you know what Eunuch Zeng intends to do by making the fake official badge?" Lin Huaiyi asked while everyone was still digesting what they had heard.

The clear voice temporarily dilutes the dull and heavy atmosphere in the hall. Everyone felt that the dark clouds that weighed on their hearts were suddenly dispelled, and they felt much more comfortable. Now they also remembered the most important thing.

Eunuch Lu glanced at Zeng Luan, who was pretending to be dead without saying a word, "Eunuch Zeng is very careful at this time. I didn't find out too much information. I only know that he seems to have contacts with the Western Regions, but I don't recognize those people. Who is the face, my lords, let him say for himself."

But no matter how intimidating or intimidating, Zeng Luan never said a word.

"Come on, take him down, into the dungeon, and shut him up properly." Mo Hong was actually a little mentally ill a long time ago, and he was so dizzy that he might have caught the cold again. Once in prison, there will be thousands of ways to make him speak.

When Zeng Luan was dragged past everyone, they saw a strange smile on his face.

Lin Huaiyi looked at this not-so-unfamiliar face in front of him, and suddenly his gaze sank, more gloomy than before, "Seeking skin from a tiger..."

Lin Xu shook his hand quietly in the cage sleeves, calmed down Lin Huaiyi's suppressed anger, and left the palace gate together with everyone.

The two of them didn't exchange any more pleasantries with the ministers, and drove straight to Xue's residence.

☆、Chapter 77

It was almost the Lantern Festival, and Lingqu was already preparing various matters for going to Shanyan Pass, most of which had been arranged properly, only one matter made him feel anxious and in a dilemma.

Because he saw Ruan Huansheng's name in the roster, he was listed as a personal soldier.

The eldest grandson of Ruan Changshi probably has great skills, and I don't know how he persuaded the mother and elders in the mansion to let him join the army with Lingqu.

More than half a year ago, this was a frail scholar who couldn't even hold a long sword!

Even if Master Ruan agreed, Lingqu, as a master, would definitely not want his apprentice to accompany him to the border to drink the northwest wind.

It would be fine if Shan Yan remained safe and sound during his tenure, but if there was a war and the swords and artillery were blind, he really didn't have the confidence to protect Ruan Huansheng for the rest of his life.

He was also afraid that he would be powerless. If he died in battle first, what would this apprentice do?

When Lin Xu and Lin Xu came to Xue's mansion, Ruan Huansheng came to practice swords, and Lingqu tirelessly persuaded him to give up this idea.But I didn't expect this apprentice, who looked weak and weak, to be as stubborn as a donkey in this matter, and he didn't quarrel with him, but he said and let him talk, and I practiced my sword on my own.

This guy Lingqu looks tall and big, but he is not very easy to get angry, especially in front of his apprentice, he is almost gentle without bottom line, like a gardener who cares for flowers, and his voice can still speak. A little lighter than usual.

"Huansheng, listen to me. You have never been to the battlefield. All your knowledge of the battle comes from other people's explanations and the words recorded in the scrolls. You don't understand how cruel and difficult it is. You don't know how many people Day and night, I want to come back..." He stood behind the little apprentice, spinning in a hurry.

At this time, Ruan Huansheng seemed to have heard what he said, and turned around and said, "If you don't understand, do you have to be ignorant all your life? I am no longer a child, and I don't need to be protected everywhere. If I don't go for a while, go see it with my own eyes. How do you know what the cruelty and suffering you are talking about is like!"

"You..." Lingqu was a little annoyed, and was suddenly blocked by his apprentice's words, unable to think of an answer.

Why does this apprentice, who usually doesn't show his talents, feel like a donkey now!

"Master, I'm not afraid of hardship or fatigue." Ruan Huansheng stared at Lingqu closely.

"But I'm afraid that I will stay in this capital for the rest of my life as a useless son of an aristocratic family, guarding the shade of my ancestors and accomplishing nothing. I want to use all my strength to protect the country and keep the people safe.

Even if I can't intimidate the frontiers like General Lin back then and General Gongsun today, even a modest effort may still come in handy. "

Hearing these words, Ling Qu seemed to have been stabbed in the heart, and his throat suddenly tightened, "What's so good about General Lin..."

In the end, he was hated by others and ended up dying.If he had been disarmed and returned to the fields early, fishing, woodcutters, plowing and studying, there would not have been so many injustices later.

"Why, what's wrong with General Lin?" A clear voice with a smile came from the door, "General Xue has brought out a good disciple who is loyal to the country, shouldn't it be something to be happy about being so motivated? "

Lingqu was shocked when he heard the words, and suddenly turned to look at the person who spoke, "Lin..." Lin Xu only needs to say a word, and Lingqu can hear the difference.

Lin Xu smiled and nodded slightly at him.The breeze blew his hair from his temples, his eyes were bright, as if he had turned the time back many years ago.

Ruan Huansheng has been in Xue's residence for more than half a year, and it was the first time he saw his taciturn master show today's expression.

Relieved, sad, happy, regretful...

One by one, it changed on his face.

Lin Xu walked up to the two of them, stretched out his hand and patted Ruan Huansheng on the shoulder, and praised, "If the Great Wei has more loyal men like Mr. Ruan, you can beat them back to the cave one by one, even if you are afraid of being attacked by enemies from all directions." .”

Obviously this prince aunt was not much older than Ruan Huansheng, but he still felt for no reason that the person in front of him was a lot older than him. Hearing his boast, he even stood up straight, looking more energetic.

"But I can't bear him to come to the frontier to suffer..." Lingqu still hesitated, but after all, it was Lin Xu who spoke, and he could hear that he was a little loose.

Ruan Huansheng said while the iron was hot, "The teacher said that when the heavens will send great responsibilities to the people, they must first suffer from their will, starve their bodies, and tire their muscles and bones. Master, if you want to become a pillar of talent, how can you hide in fear?" after people."

When it comes to words, Lingqu definitely can't speak for his apprentice, seeing him staring at him with piercing eyes, he twisted his words of refusal several times in his mouth, but still swallowed it.

"Okay, I'll take you there..." Ruan Huansheng's entire brows were raised as soon as he finished speaking.

"Good master!" He happily made a xiphoid thrust out of thin air, and he looked pretty decent, which shows that Lingqu really spent a lot of effort in the past six months.

"However, the military is not a place to enjoy happiness. Compared with Beijing, it is a lot more difficult. Mr. Ruan must be prepared." Seeing his happy appearance, Lin Xu reminded him with a smile.

"Definitely!" Ruan Huansheng said firmly.

He looked at Lin Huaiyi who was looking at him with a smile, and suddenly realized that the prince came to see his master today to discuss something, and he shouldn't bother him, so he bowed to each of them with his sword, and walked away briskly.

"Such a pure and kind young man is rare nowadays. Lingqu, you are also lucky." Lin Xu looked at Ruan Huansheng's back and praised.

"General Lin..." Lingqu's voice trembled slightly, and he called out the title again after many years, but it didn't look strange, but his nose was a little sore.

Lin Xu waved his hand, "General Shi Laozi, don't call him that anymore. It's unlucky, and it will shorten your life. Just call him Mr. Lin. You sound so young."

This is indeed genuine Lin-style rhetoric.

Lingqu rubbed his nose to wipe away the rising soreness, "Okay, stop barking."

Although Lingqu was a few years older than Lin Xu, Lin Xu was always the first to be cared for no matter what he said or did.Maybe this General Xue is strong on the battlefield, but his ears are soft as hell when he returns to the mansion.

"Did you guys just come down from the court hall?" Lingqu asked, "Could it be because of the explosion in the North Wasteland?" The news spread quickly, Lingqu even went to the North Wasteland on a flying horse while they were still in the palace. , I also saw what kind of scene it was.

"That's right." Lin Xu said, "Let's go in and talk." Ling Qu led them into the back room and shunned the servants.

"The bunker under the wasteland was indeed built by Zeng Luan. After he issued the token, he deliberately let someone take it to steal the medicinal materials of the pair of merchants, and also deliberately let the token fall into the hands of the team. Let Wen Su and Great Wei become enemies." Lin Xu told them everything he thought of.

"Indeed," Lin Huaiyi added, "Uncle Liu went to Wensu after he left Beijing for the first time. Even though the king wanted Wei to investigate himself first, no matter whether he pityed the people of his country or was afraid of Wei's strong national power, Wensu is indeed right now. They are preparing food and grass, and if Dawei can't give a good explanation, they will be dispatched in a short time, so there will be no room for maneuver."

But just like Gongsun Jia said, even if it is Kucha, which is much larger than Wensu, Great Wei is confident in defeating them, let alone Wensu, a small country.

"So I think he should be targeting Wen Su, not Wei. It is well known that he used such cruel methods to make trouble. As long as there is a delay, Wen Su will definitely send troops to fight desperately."

"It's just that Zeng Luan had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't expect that his own backyard caught fire. Maybe he would die if he did many injustices. The little Eunuch Lu, whom he regarded as his confidant, took advantage of his own life soon, and used □□ to destroy the whole thing. When it exploded, he even pointed out that Zeng Luan had indeed had an affair with someone from the Western Regions, but he didn't know the other country." Lin Xu continued.

At that time, the shopkeeper in the fireworks shop said that Eunuch Lu had bought almost all the powerful firecrackers, and they should use them as a tool to blow up the cellar in the end, which was not easy.

"Where does the general think the people behind Eunuch Zeng come from?" As long as he was talking about serious matters, Lingqu still blurted out the familiar address.

Lin Xu said lightly, "It's nothing more than Wusun or Jingjue. Many princes and nobles have died in the hands of both sides. But I think Wusun is more likely.

Now the king's grandfather died in the battle of chasing wolves, and in recent years they have begun to be a little dishonest, with a lot of petty tricks.

But if he learned to be smart and wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, even if Wen Su managed to hold up Wei, he would definitely not be able to hold him while Wusun struck while the iron was hot. It had been several generations, and he was still taking advantage...

But there should be results from Mo Hong later on, he suddenly let us go today, probably because he didn't want Zeng Luan to say anything difficult. "

"It's hard to deal with?" Lingqu was puzzled.

Lin Xu smiled, "He was afraid that Zeng Luan would jump over the wall in a hurry, so he said everything he saw around him that should be said, and what should not be said."

Having been with the emperor for so long, he must have known many unknown secrets. There were General Gongsun who held a heavy army, Qin Ping who was in charge of the Northern Army, veteran Ruan Xiaoliang of the Three Dynasties, and Wang Sizhi who criticized the current situation. ...

There were even Lin Xu, the son of my aunt, the adopted son of General Lin, Lin Huaiyi, the stepson of Prince Rui, and so on.No matter what past events are casually uncovered, it is easy to shake people's hearts.

The emperor called them here just to see how everyone would react.

Indeed, people's reactions are the most real only when things just happen. If it is overnight, the expressions on the face and the words in the mouth will not count.

"Mo Hong's interrogation method is very good. After he finds out, there will definitely be a battle. Let's just wait and see what happens," Lin Xu said in a deep voice.

All three are very sensitive about this.With the war, many things will follow, and many people will take advantage of the chaos to reveal their true colors.Whether it is a human or a ghost, you can see the difference.

Lin Xu suddenly said in a brisk tone, and teased with a smile, "So, if you don't bring your apprentice with you first, don't blame him for running into Gongsun's name with enthusiasm. It’s too late to regret.”

Lingqu scratched his head, "It's true."

"It's a blessing that you went to Shanyan, otherwise, according to your status, the emperor would definitely let you go with the army."

Lin Xu sighed, "The family of military generals will dedicate their lives to this mountain, river and loess for life and life. Illness, loneliness, being taboo, being separated from relatives, and going through life and death with a whole body of courage, but who has ever pity us. "

It's all just a matter of course.

Lin Huaiyi gently took Lin Xu's hand.

☆、Chapter 78

The situation was just as Lin Xu said, there was news in the palace the next day.

Zeng Luanzhao believed that Wusun was a lure, so he spent a lot of money and returned it to his own people to help him build a cellar.Eunuch Zeng transported a lot of Wusun craftsmen to Beijing under the black light, but the reason why they were not found out was that all those people were killed by medicine and thrown into the burning furnace.

For the sake of serving him for many years, Mo Hong gave him a clean and dignified death without much pain.

Little Eunuch Lu is still in prison to wait for Hou Faluo, but judging by his sick body, he probably won't live long.

The call for war between North Korea and China has intensified.

"Your Majesty, Wusun's gang of thieves have deceived Wei Wei so much this time. If they don't send troops, they will be ridiculed by all nations!" One day, Qian Guogong pleaded loudly in the hall.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Wusun's idea is really not simple now. If Dawei doesn't make a move, he might be ridden on his head!" Veteran Qi Lian also echoed.

This is rather strange, the former belongs to the second prince's party, with a strong family background, and has always been on good terms with Mo Li.The latter is from the Three Princes' Party, who is good at literature and has been Mo Gong's teacher. Few people can match him.

The two each support different princes, and they don't even hide it, and they are the leaders of the two camps.On weekdays, you choke me, I trip you, and it's a joy to fight for Mo Gongmo. It's really rare that they can be so unified.

But Mo Yunji looks a little pitiful here. Even though Wang Sizhi, Ruan Changshi, General Gongsun and King Yucheng seem to have had a lot of contact with him, they usually meet because of political affairs or other reasons. The reason, did not speak much.

Those who watched the battle could only sigh that the four princes really don't know how to cultivate influence to win people's hearts, and this mess is too clear.

As everyone knows, Mo Yunji, Lin Huaiyi, Gongsun Jia and others have exchanged many winks in private.

Unanimously watching the show on the sidelines.

"I do have this intention." Mo Hong finally spoke, and he was not one to retreat when things happen.He is the emperor of Wei, the dignity of the country is his dignity, how can the emperor's face tolerate others' ridicule?Moreover, Wusun's actions this time are really low.If Da Wei hasn't made any moves yet, won't he be considered a coward?

In fact, he had already made the decision to go to war after he had found out the cause of the matter. He didn't take the initiative to mention it because he needed to mention it first, so that he could logically respond to everyone's wishes and send troops.

"Your majesty is wise!" All the ministers shouted long live.

"General Gongsun, can our troops at the border be enough to attack Wusun?" He asked Gongsun Jia.

"Return to Your Majesty, it is enough." Gongsun Jia replied seriously.

"So, what if Wusun and Qiuci attack Wei together?" Mo Hong asked unexpectedly.

Lin Huaiyi secretly praised, "No wonder Xu said that Mo Hong is indeed talented in economics and latitude, and is capable of governing the country. It's really good, and he can combine these things."

After the case was over, Mo Hong once asked Mo Yunji about the hidden nails placed by countries in the Western Regions in the Great Wei, and he concluded that the number of hidden nails placed by Qiuci in the Great Wei far exceeded that of other countries. They were caught out during the investigation, but it was inevitable that people would doubt their purpose.

What's more, there is also the matter of Chen Yide's secret communication with Qiuci in Shanyan. If Wusun and Qiuci have secretly cooperated, it is inevitable that they will join forces at this time.

Gongsun Jia pondered for a long time, "If Kucha is added, the frontier defense will be a bit tight, and we need to second more troops to go there."

"Well, it doesn't matter. After the news is released, Wen Su will definitely join the battle and send troops to avenge Yeluchi." Mo Hong said in a deep voice.

This time Wen Su will send troops no matter what.

"Father, Wusun and Qiuci despise my great Wei Guowei so much, and my son is not talented, I would like to ask for orders to fight on behalf of my father!" It was not Mo Li who often yelled to fight, but rather Mo Gong of the city.

"Father, the third younger brother doesn't have much experience in battle. The battlefield is not a child's play. I think it's more appropriate to let my minister go!" Mo Gong actually took a step ahead, and Mo Li quickly followed.

At this moment, the two of them openly tried to dissuade them, but secretly belittled them into a fight, and even the two camps started to defend the lord in a hurry.

Until Mo Hong said, "You two are deeply attached to the country, and I am very pleased. However, Li Er has experience in repelling the enemy, so it is indeed more appropriate for him to go this time."

Mo Li was overjoyed.Glancing secretly at Mo Gong, he saw that he was looking at him angrily.

But he didn't know that even though Mo Gong had resentment on his face at this time, the joy in his heart was not weaker than that of Mo Li.

"Lu Li is right, Father will really let Mo Li go." He laughed to himself.

Lin Huaiyi looked at the two of them indifferently, and smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.

After the court, he calmly walked outside the palace gate, but unexpectedly saw a familiar figure in the carriage.

"Why are you here? Don't you think it's troublesome?" He immediately lost his lazy look, climbed into the carriage on all hands and feet, hugged Lin Xu who was looking at him with a smile in his eyes, and gently rubbed against his shoulder.

In the morning, he pestered Lin Xu and asked for a long time if he could wait for him outside the palace to pay his respects, but Lin Xu refused many times in a daze, saying that it was too troublesome, and he had to go to his boring court alone.

Unexpectedly, there was a surprise.

In fact, it wasn't that Lin Xu didn't want to come, but that he hadn't recovered in the morning. Lin Huaiyi probably forgot that he still had wounds that hadn't fully healed on his body. I want to slap him to the next room.

As a result, it was just dawn, and when he woke up, he bumped into Lin Xu's arms and moaned non-stop.

At that time, Lin Xu was sore all over, not to mention waiting for him to go down, he didn't even want to take a step towards the door.

But after Lin Huaiyi left, he took a rest by himself, thought it was better to wait for this annoying little goblin, so he called the driver at the door, and put some sweet-scented osmanthus in a cowhide jug , can make Lin Huaiyi moisten his mouth in time.

General Lin judged others by himself, and he also thought that the little fox he raised would be like him.

Lin Huaiyi blinked and watched Lin Xu open the hip flask, and the narrow compartment was filled with fragrance.

"How about it, would you like a sip?" Lin Xu shook the cowhide flagon.

Lin Huaiyi took it obediently and took a sip, but suddenly pulled Lin Xu away, and gave him all the wine in his mouth, and when it was over, he took advantage of Lin Xu not daring to push him away, so he was reluctant to part with it left.

He narrowed his eyes slightly as if recalling.

"It's really fragrant..." He smacked his lips, "The wonderland Qiongyao is nothing more than that."

Lin Xu was annoyed and funny, and tugged at his ear, "I'm good at it, it seems that no one took care of you before, so you went to restaurants frequently, why, do those sisters sing nicely?"

Lin Huaiyi suddenly felt that if he didn't answer well, he might have to live a sleepless life tonight.

My heart turned around a few times, and I lay down in Lin Xu's arms, "I went to the restaurant because I had a lot of memories with brother Ah Xu, and I didn't have much contact with those Xiaocui and Xiaohong.

Every time I see Brother Xu, I don’t need to know how to do it, I just want to stick it.Like bees wanting sugar..."

Lin Xu smiled helplessly, sat down inside, his eyes were full of honor, and rubbed his temples for him, "Son, bees don't eat sugar."

"Hmm..." After a while, Lin Huaiyi closed his eyes comfortably.

Lin Xu looked at Lin Huaiyi, who was looking tired, and thought that he had to find some lotus seed hearts to soak in water, so as to relieve this man's anger and go to bed early at night.

When he was outside the mansion, Lin Xu gently woke Lin Huaiyi up, "Here we are, go back to sleep."

"Hmm..." Lin Huaiyi dragged his voice lazily, still refusing to move.Seeing this, Lin Xu had no choice but to help him out of the car, helped him all the way to the bedroom, took off his court clothes, and tucked in the quilt.

He found Shujuan and sat on the side, made a cup of tea, and quietly killed the waiting time.

About two hours later, Lin Huaiyi stretched and woke up leisurely.

Lin Xu saw the dazed look of him just waking up, put down the scroll and smoothed his hair, bent down and kissed his eyes,

He said softly, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Lin Huaiyi hurried to the morning court, didn't have breakfast, went out after drinking a glass of water, and slept until now when he came back, he was really hungry at this moment, thought for a while, "I want to eat noodles."

Lin Xu smiled, and messed up his hair again, "Okay, you lie down for a while, I'll do it."

He went to the dining room with ease, and when he wanted to boil water, he found that the stove was broken, probably because it hadn't been used for a long time, so it was rusty.

He thought that there was a warehouse in the mansion that would be stocked with daily necessities, so he decided to look for it and try his luck.

Since he came back here, he really hasn't visited the grocery store.

The warehouse was at the farthest corner of the mansion. He pushed open the door, but was surprised by the sight in front of him.

Where is this still the original sundry warehouse?

The inside is no longer the messy pile of shovels and axes in the past, but now it has been tidied up, and there are no traces of these iron objects, only a lot of calligraphy, paintings, and gadgets.

He recognizes them all.Some are calligraphy and portraits of little foxes that he made in his free time, some are small toys that they bought for Lin Huaiyi when they went to the street, and some are weapons that he once taught Lin Huaiyi to use... The room is full memories.

But what surprised him the most was the bow on the wall.

His bow was made by his master back then, and he and Gongsun Jia each have a pair.Senior brother saw that pair when he went to Gongsun Mansion before, and he remembered asking about it.

Lin Huaiyi said he put it away.He never gave it a second thought.

He remembered that the tendons of his own bow had been broken before his death. The tendons of the bow given by his master were from the back tendons of the beasts he had hunted for a long time.

But the one on the wall is intact, and even the scratches on the bow have been wiped clean.

Lin Xu looked at the bow, and a chill ran from his feet to the top of his head, "This bow tendon, what did he use to repair it..."

The answer...don't ask any more.

Lin Xu stroked the intact bow, and tears slowly appeared in his eyes.

It's no wonder that Lin Huaiyi has always been thinner and paler than ordinary people. According to the little fox's appetite for eating everything, plus his background in martial arts, he shouldn't be like this.

He remembered that he once thought that the little fox should be a generous and cheerful person with a high horse and a laugh when he grows up.

Look healthier than anyone else...

When he just opened the chaimen and wanted to go back to the bedroom to ask Lin Huaiyi for clarification, he saw him standing outside the house hesitantly, and when he came out, he was full of anxiety.

The author has something to say: a foreshadowing...a long time ago.

☆、Chapter 79

Lin Xu walked towards him step by step, but felt that his steps were getting heavier and heavier, until he stood in front of Lin Huaiyi and looked at the man in front of him with a somewhat frightened expression, but he couldn't say the words of reprimand in his heart just now.

He half hugged Lin Huaiyi, stroked his back with his right hand, and pressed along his spine one by one.

"At that time... Did it hurt?" He asked in a low voice, pressing his forehead against Lin Huaiyi's, and holding him tighter in his arms.

"It hurts, but it will be fine after that time." Lin Huaiyi replied softly.

Bone cramp, it must be a lie to say that it doesn't hurt.

He remembers that when he started, cold sweat dripped down his face like rain, and he even passed out for a while and woke up before continuing.But he was afraid that it would break if he smoked too fast, so he could only slow down.Pull it out inch by inch.

This is probably the cruelest torture in the world.

But he just couldn't see the bow just being broken. As long as it belonged to Lin Xu, he wanted to fix it, as if possessed by a demon. Playing with those little gadgets that amuse children, you can forget the time when you stay there, and it will be a few days later when you go out.

"What can I do..." Lin Xu stroked his face carefully, his voice deep.

He just went to the mountains and forests to take a bath, was bumped into by the little fox, and then brought him back to the house, and got the little fairy to accompany him for many years, so that he no longer wandered around alone.

After the little fox followed him, life has not been easy for a few days. He met an assassin and was robbed by heaven, and now he is still willing to become a mortal to accompany him in reincarnation.

He considers himself very lucky.

"Let's go, eat noodles." He said softly.

However, Lin Huaiyi followed Lin Xu aggrievedly, as if he had gone through the pain of cramps again.Step by step, keep looking at him.

Lin Xu understood and took the hand of the person behind.

"Did they say something at court today?" In the dining room, he took the firewood from Lin Huaiyi and asked while lighting the fire.

"Mo Gong and Mo Li both proposed to lead the troops in person." Lin Huaiyi replied, and then told Lin Xu about the two factions in the court today.

When Lin Xu heard that Mo Gong proposed to lead troops to the Western Regions before Mo Li, Lin Xu raised his eyebrows with interest, but when he heard Mo Hong asked Mo Li to go, he sneered softly.

"Ah Xu, what do you think Mo Gong means?" Lin Huaiyi asked.

Lin Xu threw a bunch of dead branches into the fire, looked at the fire, and said calmly, "Where does Mo Gong really want to lead troops, he is deliberately pushing Mo Li to the frontier.

He knew that if he made such a statement, Mo Li would definitely follow. The latter of the two had experience in leading troops, so the emperor would definitely choose Mo Li in the end.

In this way, he can not only show concern for the country in front of the emperor's ministers, but also use his strength to push forward. In this way, he can logically become the enthusiastic and loyal prince in the emperor's heart. "

"But isn't he afraid of waiting for Mo Li to hold the military power, and after winning this battle, he will never have a chance to stand up again?" Lin Huaiyi asked a little puzzled.

Lin Xu turned his head. At this time, the firewood made a soft "pop" sound. He pulled out a branch and poked the fire, saying, "There are thousands of ways to kill a person."

"And Mo Li is not a good guy. He has frequent ambiguous contacts with foreign enemies. You tell Mo Yunji not to interfere in this matter. Let's see how Mo Li will attract his long-standing ally. Just sit back and watch the tigers fight. From now on, they will each take out their own bargaining chips, so they have to see clearly."

Lin Huaiyi is used to him pointing out the formation map to the generals about the country's arrangements. He has never seen the appearance of squatting in front of the fire with him holding a small tree and poking around. I can't help but look crazy up.

Lin Xu turned his head and saw the people beside him staring at him obsessively, and knocked his head with a smile, "Isn't the problem of being distracted when you talk about business?"

Lin Huaiyi stuck out his tongue at him and got up to scoop water.

So he didn't see that Lin Xu behind him gradually stopped smiling, and the corners of his raised mouth slowly fell, mechanically stirring the fire in front of him, with a serious look in his eyes.

What is clear now is that Mo Li has colluded with the Western Regions, the last time the Yue clan offered a lion to his liking must have been guided by this person.

However, Mo Gong remained silent. Although Ruan Changshi and others interfered in the selection of Lin Huaiyi to go to Shanyan last time, there is nothing wrong with this voluntary invitation. Who is it and what do you want to do?

But there was no time for him to think about it.

The spring of the 22nd year of Zhenling's reign.

The Northern War broke out.

Wusun, Qiuci, Jingjue and Shule assembled a total of 60 troops. The cavalry came fiercely and swept from north to south. Wensu was the first to be defeated.

The aunt was an ally of the Great Wei, and fought against the border soldiers with all their strength.

"Why did Jingjue and Shule also intervene?!" Mo Hong was a little annoyed.

These four countries were not considered good allies in the past, among them Wusun and Shule were considered big countries, but there was friction between the two, and the people who should not have joined forces at this time joined forces.

"Your Majesty, the situation ahead is tight, and the court needs to send manpower urgently!" Gongsun Jia handed over the battle report to Mo Hong.

"Father, my son is ready
