[Comprehensive] Cannon fodder, do you want to counterattack?
Chapter 87 World 4 Great Tang Talent 23
June [-]th, a day that is suitable for everything is written in the almanac, but it makes people feel that it is extraordinarily long. It rains again and again, and it rains again and again. The gloomy and wet sky makes people's hearts gloomy.
Due to the weather, the study room in the Prince's East Palace was turned on early. Li Jiancheng put down the booklet that he had read for a long time but failed to read a single word. He buried his face in his hands and rubbed it hard: Pei Ji is dead. In front of Li Yuan, the most important person who speaks for him is missing; above the court, there is no way to arrange for the disciples to enter; in the battle with Li Shimin, one is missing to advise him People who love him... And without Pei Ji, those who supported him because of Pei Ji, would they stand firm on his side?
For the sake of a little Lin Ruo, he had already filled in a third-rank Dali Siqing, and now that Pei Ji was gone, such a loss was no less than having an arm broken.
Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo!
How dare he?How dare you do such a rebellious thing, and use the dignified Duke to sacrifice his school boy alive!Where did he have such courage, and where did he have such... ability?
Li Jiancheng closed his eyes, with a wry smile on his face, he acted nonchalantly in front of others, but how could he not regret it?That young man who looked like a banished fairy might have been a little rebellious, but he was indeed his at the beginning, and he also had the capital of this arrogance.Since he can kill Pei Ji in full view, he can also kill Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and even the person he fears the most... But such a person, because of his scheming and use again and again, And stood on the opposite side of him.
He originally thought that that person was unscathed, just a book boy died, and they still had time to repair their relationship. As the prince, if he took the initiative to express his goodwill and express his abandonment of the past, who would not be flattered?But when thoughts were just thoughts, Pei Ji died—who would have thought that this young man would be so fierce, and would do this for a school boy!
If this young man really went to help that person wholeheartedly, if one day the same killing situation would happen to him...he didn't dare to think about it.
He admitted that he was a little scared. Such a death is not only painful, but also a shame, a shame that will not be able to lift his head up for generations to come!
Li Jiancheng shook his head, and put the shadow of the young man out of his mind, but he thought of Lin Boyuan, who he thought was mediocre, but talked eloquently above the hall: he silenced Zheng Guogong, Let those who have knelt in the Taiji Hall for a long time have no reason to continue to kneel; he has exhausted what Dou Chengji said, and dare not insist on taking Lin Ruo to prison; he easily arouses Li Yuan's guilt and dissatisfaction with Pei Ji, so that Openly defend Lin Ruo.
Such courage, such intelligence, how far is it from mediocrity?But this person was also pushed away from his side.
He looked at his white and slender hands, as if he clearly felt something was missing, and he felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart...
"Master Wei, you can't enter, His Highness has told you..."
Li Jiancheng snapped back to his senses, and raised his voice, "Is it Wei Zheng?"
"Yes," Wei Zheng's voice sounded outside the door, with a rare anxiety: "I have something urgent to report."
"Come in and talk."
When Wei Zheng entered, he didn't even bother to salute, and said directly: "Does Your Highness know that Mr. Pei's things were robbed just now at the pier?"
Li Jiancheng was taken aback: "What?"
It's not that he doesn't understand Wei Zheng's words, it's just that he doesn't understand why the good things of Pei Ji are looted?Who has the guts?And it's just a mere property, it's worth Wei Zheng's anxiety, and come to him at this time?
Wei Zheng sighed, his expression was a little helpless, his tone calmed down, and he said, "Because Mr. Pei died so suddenly, Pei's family is in a mess. They have to track down the murderer, deal with the interrogation of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and have funerals. The various families reported the funeral, bought mourning clothes, and so on. They were in a hurry for a while, and they didn't pay attention to the things that had already been loaded on the boat. They only sent a dozen family members to guard the boat, and no one dared to touch their things.
"I didn't expect that when the evening was approaching, the Pei family's boat suddenly started leaking, and it was about to sink. There were more than half of the Pei family's belongings on the boat. Those family members were frightened, and hurriedly called for help, and promised a lot of money to help people on board Move something."
"But at that time, the stewards of the pier and many coolies were taken to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. Among the people they found, more than half were the gangsters nearby. Those gangsters got on the boat not long ago. I don't know whether it was intentional or not. The boat caught fire. It is said that the oil lamp was accidentally knocked over when moving things into the warehouse."
"The fire is getting bigger and bigger, thick smoke is everywhere, and the ship is about to sink. The scene is extremely chaotic. The hands and feet of those gangsters are not clean, and they only dared to hide some carefully. Take it swaggeringly. The money is touching, Mr. Pei's family is extraordinary, seeing those rogue gold and jade stuffed in their arms, those who really come up to help carry things can't help being greedy, thinking about the boat anyway. It was about to sink, who knows whether they took it or sank to the bottom of the water? So they also grabbed it. Later, the situation intensified, and most people on the pier rushed to loot it, and even the boxes that had been moved off the boat were smashed open They robbed and emptied... In the end, the ship didn't really sink, and the fire was put out, but everything was swept away."
Li Jiancheng frowned and said: "These people are really daring! But don't worry, Father will never tolerate them, they are just a bunch of gangsters, as long as you send more people, you may not be able to catch them and find their things!"
Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, what I am worried about is that something is missing, what I am worried about is... that there are too many things!"
"Many..." After Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, he suddenly became excited: "You mean...Pei Ji can't be so unwise?"
Wei Zheng sighed: "Can those things stay in the capital without taking them on board? Mr. Pei still has the heart to make a comeback. These are the capital of his comeback, and they cannot be easily destroyed. The biggest possibility is to take them back to his hometown... and , that is, there were no such things on the ship, but they may not have been found in the end."
Li Jiancheng's face turned pale, and he finally understood it completely. He got up and turned around twice, and shouted to the outside: "Quick, hurry up and let Wei Ting come to see me! Immediately, immediately!"
There has always been a saying in the officialdom that officials and officials protect each other. It is commonplace for you to help me with a small problem and I will help you get a good job.From official to prime minister, Pei Ji has countless disciples, so there are naturally more such things. Pei Ji is not an upright official, and it is inevitable that some unspeakable things are involved in it, and it is inevitable that he will be betrayed by his subordinates. Naturally, Pei Ji has many certificates in his hand. Things, such as correspondence and so on.In fact, not only Pei Ji, but most of the official circles are like this.
These things should be hidden in the most secret place at all times, even if the house is raided, it may not be possible to copy them out, but at this moment, Pei Ji is leaving Beijing, and he has made a full gesture. Under such circumstances, how could these things not go with him?This matter is extremely confidential, and the chief steward who is in charge of arranging the entire itinerary should be an insider, but because the chief steward was closest to Pei Ji at the time of the incident, he was arrested and questioned at the Criminal Department. How could he have the opportunity to arrange these things?
So they are likely to be on the ship, even if they are not, if someone wants to stuff a few things in this situation, it is easy!
Li Jiancheng and Pei Ji have always been in close contact. Among Pei Ji's things, there may be something that involves him. Even if there is no thing, it may become something.
Li Jiancheng only felt distraught, but he heard Wei Zheng say, "Your Highness, don't worry. After receiving the news, I informed Mr. Wei. He has already arranged for people to investigate secretly. The most important thing for Your Highness at this moment is to arrange for the guards in the palace. My own people, this way even if the government finds something, it can be handled flexibly."
Li Jiancheng nodded, and called the people below to give careful instructions. It took a while to make arrangements, and the rest could only be left to fate.
There were only two people left in the study. Li Jiancheng let go of his confident posture, sat down on the chair weakly, and said with a wry smile: "Master Wei, it is fortunate that Gu is by your side."
Wei Zheng bowed and said: "Your Highness is serious, eat the king's salary and bear the king's worries, the minister is only doing his duty."
Li Jiancheng sighed and looked at the dark sky outside: Why can't this day be over?
He said again: "Master Wei, tell me, is this a coincidence or..."
Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "There are so many coincidences in the world."
Li Jiancheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly slammed his fist hard on the case, suppressed and roared: "What the hell is he thinking? What else is he thinking?! Isn't it just a dead book boy? Isn't it just a dead book boy? ! Is it possible that Gu Ye will die for him!"
Wei Zheng remained silent, he disagreed with Li Jiancheng's judgment, because someone had more reason to do so than Lin Ruo... Wei Zheng glanced at Li Jiancheng, but did not discuss and analyze with him as usual.
-
In the past few months, the spiritual world of the people in Chang'an has been greatly satisfied. Since the incident of "Willing to Drink", Chang'an has happened one after another, and everything is more exciting than what was sung in the opera .Especially today, it has reached a climax. In the streets and alleys, everyone has a mysterious expression on their faces. Whenever two or more people get together and listen closely, the discussion must be inseparable from "Wei Guogong" and "Lin Lin". A few words such as "Young Master" and "Little Book".
In the evening, when the heat of the matter subsided, there was a new situation suddenly, and everyone couldn't help but sigh - it turns out that there is still aftertaste after the climax!
The living sacrifice incident was followed by a shipwreck, which eventually turned into a looting incident. Many people sighed and blamed themselves for being too slow to know the news.
When the incident was reported to the palace, Li Yuan, who was full of anger because of Pei Ji's death, and had to endure because the suspect was Lin Ruo, finally found a way to vent his anger, and directly sent the guards around to arrest these "disorderly people".
So the bold ones hid things, the cowardly ones quickly handed them in, and the smarter ones handed in half and hid the other half... However, because the ship did not sink in the end, there were countless things lost inside. This turned the things in their hands into hot potatoes, and they were reluctant to hand them over, not to mention keeping the flowers, and they might be arrested by the government.
But fortunately, there was another news soon: Someone secretly paid a lot of money to buy these things, and it wasn't just a group of people.
These "snatchers" are full of hostility, so when they wake up every morning, an unidentified corpse will suddenly appear in the corner of some street, and some "sellers" who are hiding things and are ready to compare prices, Sometimes it will suddenly turn into a corpse.
Later, those who sell things and are suspected of opening them will become corpses; those whose things are gone but are suspected of being hidden will become corpses; into a corpse...
Although most of the dead, except for the unidentified people who appeared out of nowhere, were hooligans who harmed the neighbors, but I still have to say: Chang'an is in chaos.
-
A few days later at noon, the weather finally cleared up. Looking at the long-lost sunshine outside, Lin Ruo stretched comfortably and said with a smile: "I heard people say that talented people like rain. It's not interesting to listen to the rain, watch the rain and appreciate the rain." , but I can't like it at all, which shows that I'm not really a wit."
"That's what they said wrong," Lin Chuan said seriously: "Of course you are a talented person, so what you are, a talented person should be like."
Lin Ruo laughed loudly, and said, "Lin Chuan, no matter how flattering you are, you won't get a salary increase. Well, while the sun is shining, let someone take out everything to dry it... If it keeps going like this , talented people also grow mushrooms."
So he is really not a wit, and what he thinks of when he sees the rain is not poetic, but wet clothes and bedding that seem to never dry.
But where did he need to worry about this kind of thing, before Lin Chuan went to call for someone, the servants had already come to clean up.
Lin Ruo asked someone to move a deck chair and put it under the sun, so that he could bask in the sun too. Now he has become very fond of the sun, even in summer.
Lin Ruo narrowed her eyes and said emotionally, "The Ministry of Punishment hasn't sent anyone to listen to my 'talk about dreams' for several days!"
With Li Yuan's words, people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice had to come to the Lin Mansion by themselves if they wanted to ask questions. They lost their home court advantage, and methods such as torture and threats could not be used. What tricks could they ask?But I don't know if it's because there is no progress in other places, or because the adults in the criminal department don't want Lin Ruo to be too comfortable, and they will send someone to bother him every now and then.
Lin Chuan said: "Chang'an City is now in a mess, and the time limit set by His Majesty is coming soon. The Ministry of Punishment is in a state of desperation. How can there be any leisure to come here?"
Lin Ruo asked in surprise, "Is it still in chaos now?"
Lin Chuan said: "On the surface, it is quiet. After all, most of the things in the hands of ordinary people have been collected, and the rest is dog eat dog: they all want to hold other people's handles, get back their own things and destroy them... ...But everyone tacitly kept it from their superiors. Young master, should we do something else and stab His Majesty?"
Lin Ruo shook his head and laughed, and said, "Lin Chuan, that's the emperor, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
No matter how easy Li Yuan is to be swayed by those around him, no matter how sentimental he is, he is also the emperor, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and his political wisdom is no worse than anyone else—his two sons, one is an adult prince, Young and powerful, with outstanding abilities, one is an invincible general who conquered half of the Tang Dynasty, and with two such powerful sons, he can firmly hold the power without restraint. How could this be something a fool can do?
With the capital in such chaos, as the king of a country and the actual ruler of the Tang Dynasty, would he know nothing about it?
Lin Chuan said: "But His Majesty's reaction doesn't seem to be known."
"He is waiting for someone to lift the cover," Lin Ruo said, "The longer he waits, the angrier he will be, and the greater the suspicion in his heart will be."
There may be many courtiers involved in the rumors on the ship, but definitely not everyone, but until now no one has reported to him, what does this mean?
Maybe this just means that no one is willing to be the first bird, and no one dares to poke the hornet's nest to offend everyone - needless to say, those who are affected, even those who are not affected will be unhappy: no one else says anything It's time for you to talk, what do you mean, that we are not as loyal as you?And this is not a major event involving the survival of the country, it is just the corruption of some officials, is it worth it?Moreover, this matter is also related to the dispute between the crown prince and the king of Qin. If he might offend his future master, it's better to watch quietly.
But as an emperor, he doesn't think so.
What he thought was, why did everyone work together to hide it from him?What are these people up to?Who the hell does this mean?
"Go back to Prince Qin's mansion quietly," Lin Ruo said, "Tell him, it's best for him to lift the lid himself. Let him enter the palace alone with his things on the night of June 26. Don't say anything, he must I ask His Majesty not to look at it, and burn it in front of everyone when the dynasty comes."
In today's Chang'an City, besides the emperor Li Yuan, the crown prince and King Qin are the most powerful, so they should find the most things in their hands.
Lin Ruo was looking forward to it. If the things in King Qin's hands were handed over and burned, what about the crown prince's, would he dare to hand over his things?Do you dare not pay?You must know that the Pei Ji Party is almost a princeling. If you hand it over, you will cut off your arms and make the people around you cold. If you don't hand it over, how will Li Yuan deal with it?
So, who is more faithful?Who cares more about the overall situation?Who bears the burden more?
Lin Chuan agreed, and Lin Ruo said again: "Tell King Qin that this is to thank him for the jade pendant he gave the day before yesterday, so that he doesn't have to take it to heart."
"Yes." Lin Chuan replied, hesitating for a moment and said: "Young master, since you have already helped the King of Qin, why should you make the distinction so clearly? If the King of Qin visits Dabao in the future, wouldn't it be..."
"Who says I'm helping him? It's meaningless to seize the heirloom, what's the matter with love!" Lin Ruo yawned with some disinterest, and asked, "Why didn't you see Uncle?"
Lin Chuan said: "Master Wei invited the master to have a drink in the Huibin Building early in the morning, probably to make peace for the prince?"
After finishing speaking, I was taken aback, and made peace for the prince?This seems to be... a little arrogant?
Lin Ruo didn't feel anything, and said: "I heard people say that there is a Ke'er girl in 'Cloud', who is both talented in color and art. Play the piano and sing, and ask her if she has time to meet."
Lin Chuan hesitated and said: "Master, I heard that this lovely girl has a master, and she is the favorite of Concubine Yin Defei's younger brother Yin Hongfei, and she never allows anyone to touch her..."
"I know," Lin Ruo said casually, "Just ask, it's best if you agree, and it's fine if you don't."
Lin Chuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, if you want to listen to the piano, how can anyone refuse?"
Lin Chuan agreed without hesitation. He was only afraid that Lin Ruo would not know the inside story, so he only reminded him. He never questioned his young master's decision. Others didn't know Lin Ruo's ability, but he knew it best: just Several small arrangements were made to understate the earth-shattering event of killing Zheng Guogong, without any fireworks; only one person was dispatched, a boat was damaged, and the entire Chang'an city was turned upside down without a sound, but he knew nothing about it. Quietly standing in the distance watching the excitement...
Lin Chuan looked at Lin Ruo, with reverence and fanaticism in his eyes: he was worried that his young master was too innocent and would be bullied in the future, but now it seems that his young master was just too lazy to pay attention to it before.
Those who forcibly dragged his young master out of the pure world of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting probably regret their guts now, right?
"Ah, that's right," Lin Ruo remembered something again, and said, "I heard from someone earlier that a new restaurant named Tianranju opened on Zhuque Street, and the pots made in it are fresh and spicy, which makes people aftertaste Infinity is a rare delicacy in the world, and it also claims to have unprecedented spirits in the world... I am so greedy, but it is a pity that they only entertain ten tables of guests a day, and it takes a long time to make reservations. You need to ask people to make reservations A table can be reserved for any day.”
Due to the weather, the study room in the Prince's East Palace was turned on early. Li Jiancheng put down the booklet that he had read for a long time but failed to read a single word. He buried his face in his hands and rubbed it hard: Pei Ji is dead. In front of Li Yuan, the most important person who speaks for him is missing; above the court, there is no way to arrange for the disciples to enter; in the battle with Li Shimin, one is missing to advise him People who love him... And without Pei Ji, those who supported him because of Pei Ji, would they stand firm on his side?
For the sake of a little Lin Ruo, he had already filled in a third-rank Dali Siqing, and now that Pei Ji was gone, such a loss was no less than having an arm broken.
Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo!
How dare he?How dare you do such a rebellious thing, and use the dignified Duke to sacrifice his school boy alive!Where did he have such courage, and where did he have such... ability?
Li Jiancheng closed his eyes, with a wry smile on his face, he acted nonchalantly in front of others, but how could he not regret it?That young man who looked like a banished fairy might have been a little rebellious, but he was indeed his at the beginning, and he also had the capital of this arrogance.Since he can kill Pei Ji in full view, he can also kill Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and even the person he fears the most...

Such courage, such intelligence, how far is it from mediocrity?But this person was also pushed away from his side.
He looked at his white and slender hands, as if he clearly felt something was missing, and he felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart...
"Master Wei, you can't enter, His Highness has told you..."
Li Jiancheng snapped back to his senses, and raised his voice, "Is it Wei Zheng?"
"Yes," Wei Zheng's voice sounded outside the door, with a rare anxiety: "I have something urgent to report."
"Come in and talk."
When Wei Zheng entered, he didn't even bother to salute, and said directly: "Does Your Highness know that Mr. Pei's things were robbed just now at the pier?"
Li Jiancheng was taken aback: "What?"
It's not that he doesn't understand Wei Zheng's words, it's just that he doesn't understand why the good things of Pei Ji are looted?Who has the guts?And it's just a mere property, it's worth Wei Zheng's anxiety, and come to him at this time?
Wei Zheng sighed, his expression was a little helpless, his tone calmed down, and he said, "Because Mr. Pei died so suddenly, Pei's family is in a mess. They have to track down the murderer, deal with the interrogation of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and have funerals.

"I didn't expect that when the evening was approaching, the Pei family's boat suddenly started leaking, and it was about to sink. There were more than half of the Pei family's belongings on the boat.

In the past few months, the spiritual world of the people in Chang'an has been greatly satisfied. Since the incident of "Willing to Drink", Chang'an has happened one after another, and everything is more exciting than what was sung in the opera .Especially today, it has reached a climax. In the streets and alleys, everyone has a mysterious expression on their faces. Whenever two or more people get together and listen closely, the discussion must be inseparable from "Wei Guogong" and "Lin Lin". A few words such as "Young Master" and "Little Book".
In the evening, when the heat of the matter subsided, there was a new situation suddenly, and everyone couldn't help but sigh - it turns out that there is still aftertaste after the climax!
The living sacrifice incident was followed by a shipwreck, which eventually turned into a looting incident. Many people sighed and blamed themselves for being too slow to know the news.

Although most of the dead, except for the unidentified people who appeared out of nowhere, were hooligans who harmed the neighbors, but I still have to say: Chang'an is in chaos.

A few days later at noon, the weather finally cleared up. Looking at the long-lost sunshine outside, Lin Ruo stretched comfortably and said with a smile: "I heard people say that talented people like rain. It's not interesting to listen to the rain, watch the rain and appreciate the rain." , but I can't like it at all, which shows that I'm not really a wit."
"That's what they said wrong," Lin Chuan said seriously: "Of course you are a talented person, so what you are, a talented person should be like."
Lin Ruo laughed loudly, and said, "Lin Chuan, no matter how flattering you are, you won't get a salary increase. Well, while the sun is shining, let someone take out everything to dry it... If it keeps going like this , talented people also grow mushrooms."
So he is really not a wit, and what he thinks of when he sees the rain is not poetic, but wet clothes and bedding that seem to never dry.
But where did he need to worry about this kind of thing, before Lin Chuan went to call for someone, the servants had already come to clean up.
Lin Ruo asked someone to move a deck chair and put it under the sun, so that he could bask in the sun too. Now he has become very fond of the sun, even in summer.
Lin Ruo narrowed her eyes and said emotionally, "The Ministry of Punishment hasn't sent anyone to listen to my 'talk about dreams' for several days!"
With Li Yuan's words, people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice had to come to the Lin Mansion by themselves if they wanted to ask questions. They lost their home court advantage, and methods such as torture and threats could not be used. What tricks could they ask?But I don't know if it's because there is no progress in other places, or because the adults in the criminal department don't want Lin Ruo to be too comfortable, and they will send someone to bother him every now and then.
Lin Chuan said: "Chang'an City is now in a mess, and the time limit set by His Majesty is coming soon. The Ministry of Punishment is in a state of desperation. How can there be any leisure to come here?"
Lin Ruo asked in surprise, "Is it still in chaos now?"
Lin Chuan said: "On the surface, it is quiet. After all, most of the things in the hands of ordinary people have been collected, and the rest is dog eat dog: they all want to hold other people's handles, get back their own things and destroy them... ...But everyone tacitly kept it from their superiors. Young master, should we do something else and stab His Majesty?"
Lin Ruo shook his head and laughed, and said, "Lin Chuan, that's the emperor, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
No matter how easy Li Yuan is to be swayed by those around him, no matter how sentimental he is, he is also the emperor, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and his political wisdom is no worse than anyone else—his two sons, one is an adult prince, Young and powerful, with outstanding abilities, one is an invincible general who conquered half of the Tang Dynasty, and with two such powerful sons, he can firmly hold the power without restraint. How could this be something a fool can do?
With the capital in such chaos, as the king of a country and the actual ruler of the Tang Dynasty, would he know nothing about it?
Lin Chuan said: "But His Majesty's reaction doesn't seem to be known."
"He is waiting for someone to lift the cover," Lin Ruo said, "The longer he waits, the angrier he will be, and the greater the suspicion in his heart will be."
There may be many courtiers involved in the rumors on the ship, but definitely not everyone, but until now no one has reported to him, what does this mean?
Maybe this just means that no one is willing to be the first bird, and no one dares to poke the hornet's nest to offend everyone - needless to say, those who are affected, even those who are not affected will be unhappy: no one else says anything It's time for you to talk, what do you mean, that we are not as loyal as you?And this is not a major event involving the survival of the country, it is just the corruption of some officials, is it worth it?Moreover, this matter is also related to the dispute between the crown prince and the king of Qin. If he might offend his future master, it's better to watch quietly.
But as an emperor, he doesn't think so.
What he thought was, why did everyone work together to hide it from him?What are these people up to?Who the hell does this mean?
"Go back to Prince Qin's mansion quietly," Lin Ruo said, "Tell him, it's best for him to lift the lid himself. Let him enter the palace alone with his things on the night of June 26. Don't say anything, he must I ask His Majesty not to look at it, and burn it in front of everyone when the dynasty comes."
In today's Chang'an City, besides the emperor Li Yuan, the crown prince and King Qin are the most powerful, so they should find the most things in their hands.
Lin Ruo was looking forward to it. If the things in King Qin's hands were handed over and burned, what about the crown prince's, would he dare to hand over his things?Do you dare not pay?You must know that the Pei Ji Party is almost a princeling. If you hand it over, you will cut off your arms and make the people around you cold. If you don't hand it over, how will Li Yuan deal with it?
So, who is more faithful?Who cares more about the overall situation?Who bears the burden more?
Lin Chuan agreed, and Lin Ruo said again: "Tell King Qin that this is to thank him for the jade pendant he gave the day before yesterday, so that he doesn't have to take it to heart."
"Yes." Lin Chuan replied, hesitating for a moment and said: "Young master, since you have already helped the King of Qin, why should you make the distinction so clearly? If the King of Qin visits Dabao in the future, wouldn't it be..."
"Who says I'm helping him? It's meaningless to seize the heirloom, what's the matter with love!" Lin Ruo yawned with some disinterest, and asked, "Why didn't you see Uncle?"
Lin Chuan said: "Master Wei invited the master to have a drink in the Huibin Building early in the morning, probably to make peace for the prince?"
After finishing speaking, I was taken aback, and made peace for the prince?This seems to be... a little arrogant?
Lin Ruo didn't feel anything, and said: "I heard people say that there is a Ke'er girl in 'Cloud', who is both talented in color and art. Play the piano and sing, and ask her if she has time to meet."
Lin Chuan hesitated and said: "Master, I heard that this lovely girl has a master, and she is the favorite of Concubine Yin Defei's younger brother Yin Hongfei, and she never allows anyone to touch her..."
"I know," Lin Ruo said casually, "Just ask, it's best if you agree, and it's fine if you don't."
Lin Chuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, if you want to listen to the piano, how can anyone refuse?"
Lin Chuan agreed without hesitation. He was only afraid that Lin Ruo would not know the inside story, so he only reminded him. He never questioned his young master's decision. Others didn't know Lin Ruo's ability, but he knew it best: just Several small arrangements were made to understate the earth-shattering event of killing Zheng Guogong, without any fireworks; only one person was dispatched, a boat was damaged, and the entire Chang'an city was turned upside down without a sound, but he knew nothing about it. Quietly standing in the distance watching the excitement...
Lin Chuan looked at Lin Ruo, with reverence and fanaticism in his eyes: he was worried that his young master was too innocent and would be bullied in the future, but now it seems that his young master was just too lazy to pay attention to it before.
Those who forcibly dragged his young master out of the pure world of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting probably regret their guts now, right?
"Ah, that's right," Lin Ruo remembered something again, and said, "I heard from someone earlier that a new restaurant named Tianranju opened on Zhuque Street, and the pots made in it are fresh and spicy, which makes people aftertaste Infinity is a rare delicacy in the world, and it also claims to have unprecedented spirits in the world... I am so greedy, but it is a pity that they only entertain ten tables of guests a day, and it takes a long time to make reservations. You need to ask people to make reservations A table can be reserved for any day.”
