The Founding of the Red Chamber

The army set out from the imperial capital in mid-February and went south to wipe out the rebels.

Before setting out, Lin Jing was also encouraged by Chen Qibao among the generals.Lin Jing is also a veteran of the four dynasties for this kind of emperor's eager expectation.The main reason is that the throne changes too fast, which is also impossible.Either it was because Lin Jing met Chen Qibao when he was down, or Lin Jing was naturally rebellious. Anyway, seeing other people excitedly wishing to rush out to be loyal to His Majesty for such passionate words, Lin Jing felt a little bit nothing.

Tu Xiaosan was still talking about him in the car, "You too, let's pretend. Everyone is very excited, but you are indifferent."

Lin Jing ignored Tu Xiaosan's question, instead he asked Tu Xiaosan, "So, your eyes were full of tears, and you were so devoted to your blood, so you were just pretending."

Tu Xiaosan corrected, "It's not all just pretending, I also sincerely want to wipe out the rebels for the court."

Lin Jing said to Tu Xiaosan, "You don't know, I saw you like that in the morning, and you almost made me spit out the last night's meal."

Tu Xiaosan laughed twice, and felt that he was exaggerating, but he saw that others were like this, so that's it.Tu Xiaosan had a lot of experience in dealing with the world, and said, "Ah Jing, you have never lowered your head since you were a child, you don't know, this superior regards subordinates mostly like a father regards his son."

"That's interesting."

"When a father looks at his son, he naturally hopes that his son will be obedient, loyal and filial, without expecting anything in return."

Lin Jing said, "According to you, the lower officials should treat the upper officials like a son serving their father."

Tu Xiaosan said, "Although my time in the imperial capital is short, the imperial capital's splendor and prosperity are not comparable to Jinzhou City. However, I have gone through some things in the past ten years since I came out of my hometown. Let me see that the officialdom of the imperial capital is different from other places. Not too big."

Lin Jing snorted, "What you said earlier, although flattering, is also true. I don't like this kind of officialdom. I use my subordinates to use their abilities. I don't lack sons. They just need to treat their errands as Well, I don't need others to serve as my own father."

"If officials can be like you, Ah Jing, then we don't need to go south to suppress bandits."

"Third brother, you haven't been around the imperial capital for long, but you can see it thoroughly."

"What kind of walking is that? It's nothing more than collecting things according to the rules and walking around the gates of the yamen. You see, people know that we are from outside the customs, and they charge [-]% more money for moistening hands." Tu Xiaosan clapped his hands, "Forget it, anyway, we Nor is he an official in the imperial capital."

Lin Jing smiled, "Yes, it's better to finish the battle quickly, so we can go back outside the customs earlier."

Lin Jing took a carriage along the way. However, in the season of returning to the land in spring, as long as the weather is good, Lin Jing will usually ride a horse. In fact, he doesn't like to ride a carriage. Except for the extremes, the ordinary roads are full of ups and downs.Therefore, Lin Jing rode a horse as long as he could.

In this way, some people did not like Lin Jing.Of course, this is not from the Guanwai army. No one in the Guanwai army dares to say that General Ah Jing is not. General Ah Jing is a figure who once repelled the barbarian king.The one who disliked Lin Jing was a third-rank general of the Imperial Capital Army, surnamed Bai. This general Bai was only in his early thirties, so he could be called young and promising.

Lin Jing's espionage system is excellent, but this news was brought by Tu Xiaosi, and Tu Xiaosi said, "That man is really courageous, dare to say that Ah Jing is coquettish." Of course Lin Jing is considered coquettish, but Lin Jing most To save face, even Tu Xiaosi dared not speak of Lin Jing face to face.Of course, this person didn't say it to his face, he just said it behind his back so that Tu Xiaosi could hear it.

Tu Xiaosan asked, "Who said Ah Jing?"

"It's a general surnamed Bai." Tu Xiaosi said, "The Imperial Capital Army has seen Ah Jing carrying a carriage, and they have babbled several times."

As soon as Tu Xiaosan heard the surname Bai, he knew who it was, but he still said to his younger brother, "You are also called inquiring about things, then General Bai, do you know who's surname and where it came from? Don't dare to know who it is. Come and say."

"Why don't I tell Ah Jing first?" Tu Xiaosi muttered.

"Okay, let's find out and come back." Tu Xiaosan is an older brother, but in fact he is only four or three years younger than Tu Xiaosan, and his thoughtfulness is far higher than that of Tu Xiaosan.

Tu Xiaosi ran to inquire about the origin of General Bai who had heard about Lin Jing's gossip. Tu Xiaosan said to Lin Jing, "Really, a dignified man, why are you still talking like this?" Brother Ah Jing from his family can be compared to the reckless men in the army Well, it's just a car, why is it so delicate?

Lin Jing said, "You still say Xiaosi, you are no better than Xiaosi? Seriously, what do you believe in what people say?"

Tu Xiaosan said, "It's just that you can't make waves, Ah Jing, don't take it too seriously."

"I don't know where the wind is." Although the rumors spread about General Bai, it may not be General Bai.Lin Jing put down the chess record in his hand, and played chess with Tu Xiaosan.Tu Xiaosan's game of chess is quite ordinary, Tu Xiaosan is willing to accommodate Lin Jing in everything, just this game of chess, a hundred people really don't want to play with Lin Jing, the main reason is that he has never won.Seeing the reluctance on Tu Xiaosan's face, Lin Jing said, "I'll let you be ten today."

Tu Xiaosan said, "Why don't you ask Ah Nian?"

"Ah Nian has an errand, besides, he is not much better than you at playing chess." Having said this, Lin Jing said again, "My eldest brother-in-law, even though the Xu family is also a famous family, they are very good at educating children. It's normal. When Anian was with me when I was a child, he played chess better than now." Since leaving him and returning to Jinzhong, his nephew Anian's chess skills have been abandoned.It's a pity for Lin Jing.

Tu Xiaosan asked, "How is Ah Teng playing chess?"

"Ah Teng's chess is not good enough."

Tu Xiaosan was overjoyed immediately, "Ask A Teng to accompany you."

Lin Jing said casually, "A Teng isn't here either." As he spoke, his hands froze while playing with the chess pieces. Lin Jing raised his head and looked at Tu Xiaosan. Tu Xiaosan also wished he could bite off his own tongue. I plan to talk to Ah Jing again in a few days.

Lin Jing asked Tu Xiaosan with a dark face, "What's the matter? A Teng is here?"

Tu Xiaosan hurriedly said, "I wanted to talk to you, Ah Jing, no, I've been a little busy these two days, so I forgot it for a while." Lin Jing sneered twice, Tu Xiaosan couldn't continue talking, Tu Xiaosan Sighed, "I only found out when I was out of the imperial capital. A Teng begged me not to tell you, for fear that you would send him back. I think he really followed him out sincerely, and this opportunity to go south is not enough." It's rare, so I agreed to him. Besides, I saw Ah Jing that you also intend to take Ah Teng to practice for a while, don't you?"

Lin Jing snorted, threw the agate in his hand back into the chess jar with a clatter, and said to Tu Xiaosan, "If my second uncle takes the rat poison, you will be responsible?"

The corners of Tu Xiaosan's lips twitched, "I don't think the second old man is narrow-minded. No matter what, he can't take rat poison."

Tu Xiaosan knew he was in the wrong, and quickly said, "Come on, let me play chess with you."

"I won't give up!"

"Don't give up, don't give up, watch me lose you dozens of pieces." Tu Xiaosan lost his face all afternoon, his face was pale, and he was covered in cold sweat. He finally made it to dinner. Tu Xiaosan is a person who starts and ends, and asked Lin Jing, "Will you Don't ask Ah Teng to come over and talk, and don't let that child hang his heart."

"Don't call." Lin Jing looked like nothing happened.

Tu Xiaosan said, "Look, when Xiao Si sneaked out, you still persuaded me to come."

"If I knew the emperor was in this situation, I wouldn't stop you at the beginning." Lin Jing put the chessboard away, "Forget it, just come."

Seeing Lin Jing let go, Tu Xiaosan hurriedly said, "Then I'll call A Teng over here."

When Lin Jing saw Lin Teng, he naturally put on the airs of his younger uncle to reprimand Lin Teng. Fortunately, Lin Teng was used to listening to his uncle's teachings since he was a child.Anyway, the uncle said, he just listened.He has come all the time, my uncle will not drive him back.Lin Jing said a few words, not harshly, let Lin Teng be a personal guard by his side, and the matter was over.

It was Lin Jing who took the blame for kidnapping Lin Teng.

After the second old man saw Lin Teng's letter at home, the second old man scolded Lin Jing for a long time at home, saying that Lin Jing was a dishonest kid and abducted his grandson.The second old lady was still sensible, and the second old lady said, "I can see how Ah Jing treated Ah Teng when she was young. Ah Teng wanted to go to the army for a long time, but you kept blocking him. If you want me to tell you, you have to respond sooner." If we leave him, he won't sneak out. Fortunately, he followed Ah Jing, and if he went to a place we don't know well, wouldn't he be more worried. Now that he is by Ah Jing's side, I feel more at ease."

The second old man said, "Aren't I afraid of danger in the army?"

The second old lady said, "Our own grandson is naturally in pain. But to be honest, no matter how precious he is, he is no more precious than Ah Jing. Look at Ah Jing who has been away for a few years, and now he is more promising."

The second old man was just worried about his grandson, "The future is more important than life."

Seeing that the old man couldn't understand, the second old lady became impatient, "It's already gone, and you can't chase it back! Just do it!"

The second old man: ...

The second old man went to find Lin Yi to complain about this matter, Lin Yi just said, "I persuaded my second uncle to stop interacting with Lin Jing. You didn't listen to me at the beginning, but now the army has been going south for five days, and you can't catch up with him no matter what. I'm back." The implication was that the second old man was completely on his own.

The second old man: ...

Actually, the matter of Lin Teng secretly going south with Lin Jing was the result of the second old man's words, but he didn't really care about it after all.Because even though Lin Jing looked unreliable, he was actually a very reliable person.Even Lin Yi didn't expect that this trip would really be a near-death situation.
