After the tool man strikes [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 67 The Stupid Brother in the Imperial Examination
After Lin Lang captured the second prince of the barbarian tribe alive, the barbarian army had no one to command them, and they were wary. One hundred thousand barbarian troops were stationed on the plain dozens of miles away from Qicheng. Daxing didn't get anything good, and Daxing was waiting for instructions from above, and the two sides temporarily stalemate.
The news was immediately reported to the capital, and within a few days the emperor's imperial decree was issued. As General Fan said, the emperor greatly praised Lin Lang's bravery and resourcefulness, praised him as a model for the entire army, and rewarded him with gold and silver. It was also bestowed by the imperial pen, and he was promoted to be a general of the Northwest Army, and his status in the army was second only to the general and deputy general.
And the words of encouragement and encouragement behind the emperor's decree are even more intriguing, "I hope you will continue to work hard, achieve better results, and live up to my high expectations", isn't it the same as telling him clearly that I support you in seizing power in the army?
It seems that what General Fan said before is not [-]% true, but at least [-]% or [-]% true.
What happened next further confirmed this speculation, that is, after General Fan, Deputy General Xu of the Northwest Army also took Lin □□ over.
Deputy General Xu was originally a Beijing official. He was transferred from the capital to the Northwest Army three years ago. Unlike the mighty and serious General Fan, he probably has been in the officialdom for a long time. The kind of "smiling three-pointed when seeing people", Lin Lang greeted him with a smile as soon as he arrived, "Finally here, General Lin, you can make me wait."
Based on the first impression alone, Lin Lang arbitrarily labeled him as "uneasy and kind", and cupped his hands awkwardly, "I pay my respects to Deputy General Xu."
"Don't be too polite, sit down," Vice General Xu led him to sit in front of the grand master's chair, and warmly greeted him: "A few days ago, there were too many trivial matters, and I didn't care about the recruits. You have been in the camp for more than half a year, right?" , How do you feel, but are you still used to it?"
"Thank you, Vice General Xu, for your concern. Everything is fine."
Vice General Xu smiled, "A few days ago, I originally wanted to hold a celebration banquet for you. Let the recruits and veterans get together and have a few drinks. What a great opportunity, but General Fan thinks it's too exciting to mobilize the crowd. , I just disagree, hey, what a pity."
"Your performance this time is really wonderful. Even the emperor praised you for being smart and courageous. I will be thankful that my subordinates can have [-]% of your abilities."
"There are a lot of big and small things in the military camp. General Fan has no skills and is very busy. He can't manage many places, so he has some guys who are ineffective and obedient. If you are not satisfied with anything, just come to me. , to ensure that any problems can be settled for you."
"Don't be dazed, drink tea. This is the ultimate cloud and mist bestowed by the emperor. I don't want to drink it on weekdays. Today you come here to take out the last bit."
……
Lin Lang's goosebumps almost rose from hearing his words with guns and cannons, so he could only pretend that he didn't understand, nodded and shook his head dully, "The barracks is very good, General Fan is also very good, there is nothing wrong with the subordinates. Not happy with the place."
"You, you," Deputy General Xu sighed with a smile, "I just praised you for being smart, but why are you acting stupid? You can create problems if you have no problems."
Lin Lang bowed his head and cupped his hands, "I would like to hear the details."
Vice General Xu took a sip of tea leisurely, "What do you think is the most important thing in the army?"
Lin Lang scratched his head, "Skill? Strategy?"
"No," Vice-General Xu shook his head and smiled again, "it's 'people', the number of people makes it easier to do things, this principle is the same everywhere, you help me, I help you, everyone gets what they need, why not do it? "
Lin Lang: "..."
Is this the reason why you secretly urged me to form a party with you for personal gain?So he didn't want to be a civil servant, his mind was full of scheming and scheming all day long, and his heart was very serious. As a military officer, Vice General Xu had no virtue at all.
Lin Lang thought of his conversation with General Fan a few days ago, the "idiot" he said was arranged by his superiors to fight for power with him, maybe it was this Vice General Xu.
Although this is not very polite, but compared with General Fan who has devoted himself to his duty for decades and is now disheartened, the high-sounding and greedy Deputy General Xu in front of him does seem a bit stupid.
Now that people are under the eaves, Lin Lang can only pretend to be stupid, "As a member of the military camp, I eat the king's salary, share the worries for the king, and do my best for Daxing. Do everything we can."
"You!" Deputy General Xu patted the table angrily, "You are so stubborn!"
Lin Lang looked at him blankly, "Forgive me for being stupid, and ask the lieutenant general to clarify."
How else would he expressly say that I want to drive away Fan Jie and become a general himself? !This person is either as treacherous as a fox, or as stupid as a pig!
"You have received the imperial decree, so you don't understand the meaning of the Holy One?"
Seeing that he couldn't win over, he wanted to establish a relationship with the emperor to frighten him?
Lin Lang searched in his memory. This Vice General Xu is indeed related to the current emperor. His younger sister is now the emperor's favorite concubine. It can be said that he himself was picked up by the emperor. The army and other veterans fought against each other and regained power for the emperor.
It's a pity that his own ability is limited, and the emperor can't help him no matter how much he tried. Hearing what General Fan said earlier, the superior seems to want to give up on him and find someone new to promote him, but Deputy General Xu himself is still ambitious.
Lin Lang cupped his hands in the direction of the palace, "The emperor ordered the subordinate officials to continue their efforts, and the subordinate officials will definitely live up to their trust."
"Idiot!" Deputy General Xu swung his sleeves in dissatisfaction, and glared at Lin Lang fiercely, "Are you sure you want to toast or not to eat fine wine?"
Lin Lang frowned in confusion, "Why did the lieutenant general say that?"
Seeing that he was so dishonest, Deputy General Xu couldn't maintain his previous amiable appearance any longer, he picked up his teacup and threw it on the table, and snorted coldly, "You can take care of yourself and see off the guests!"
On the second day after he broke up with Vice General Xu, he couldn't hold back his breath and shot Lin Lang. Of course, now that Lin Lang is a general, Vice General Xu can't move him without a valid reason, but he can attack him. Hands-on, such as skimping on daily food and clothing.
The next day happened to be the day when winter clothes were distributed in the barracks. Some men came down to report to Lin Lang that what they got were old and rotten defective products. , It is also yellow and black inferior cotton, which cannot be worn at all.
Lin Lang took them to protest to the quartermaster in charge, but the quartermaster said that these were the quotas assigned to them, and they wanted to find a way to wear good winter clothes.
What's not clear about this, the so-called superior must be Deputy General Xu, who came to bully his subordinates to vent their anger when they saw that Lin Lang didn't get in.
What Lin Lang hates the most in his life is this kind of behavior of a villain who vents his anger. He usually just talks a few words about his people, and the training is harsh.
Just about to try to get justice for them, the quartermaster came over in a hurry, dragging a few carts of winter clothes, and was sweating in the middle of the winter, "Oh, oh, it's wrong, your clothes are wrong , These are the ones, come here and get them again!"
This time, all the soft and thick winter clothes were newly made this year. According to the cryptic account of the quartermaster, he originally obeyed orders and gave them defective products as a last resort. Who knew that General Fan wanted to carry out a surprise inspection of the barracks’ clothing, food and housing on a whim. , especially pay attention to those who have made meritorious service before. Lin Lang and his group are the main focus.
Lin Lang: "..."
He really didn't believe that General Fan was acting on a whim. As for whether it was to make decisions for them, or to make Vice General Xu feel embarrassed, it's up to the benevolent to see the benevolent and the wise.The old general said he didn't care about things, but he was actually quite considerate.
Following Vice General Xu's wooing, another group of people came to Lin Lang and said that they would be loyal to him. Among them were hundreds of households and staff officers. Together, they were quite a force. From the words of these people, Lin Lang It can be known that most of them are from Prime Minister Qu's side.
A good military camp was infiltrated like a sieve, and Prime Minister Qu's ambition was evident.This time Lin Lang didn't continue to pretend to be stupid, and made false claims with them, and calmed them down first, presuming that the timing was uncertain, so he didn't take any action yet.
If the protagonist Lin Ze is the culprit that will lead to the collapse of this world, then Prime Minister Qu is his greatest help. Now that Lin Lang has left the Lin family, some plots have changed, but as the protagonist, Lin Ze is bound to leave Lin Lang couldn't control the matter of taking the imperial examination, and he didn't want to bother to control it.
What he has to do is to strengthen himself, make preparations in all aspects in advance, and wait for the day of the confrontation.
When Lin Lang was showing his skills in the military camp, the original owner's family of Dalin Village experienced a "farewell". The atmosphere was stagnant for a while, but it became lively again because Lin Ze passed the examination of a scholar.
Every household in Dalin Village is not considered rich, and they don’t have the spare money to spend on education for their children. When the Lin family wasted money to send Lin Ze to school, the villagers didn’t say anything on the surface, but they spoke bitterly in private. You are the mud legs of your ancestors, you are the only one who is proud and arrogant, and wants to dream of being the number one scholar in high school.
But now that Lin Ze is selected as a scholar, the situation is completely different. Master Xiucai and the others in the whole town can’t count a few people. Besides, Lin Ze is not yet 20 years old, and there will be plenty of opportunities to take the exams and Jinshi exams in the future, and the future is bright.
All of a sudden, from this village to the neighboring village, Daoxi's people almost stepped through the threshold of Lin's family. Lin Tiegen didn't go to the ground anymore. Son", "Your family has a Wenqu star", "waiting to be an old man to enjoy the blessings", it made him laugh from ear to ear.
Suddenly, a family uncle thought of the dead Lin Daniu, and couldn't help but sigh, "Daniu loved his younger brother Aze the most during his lifetime. Seeing his achievements today, Daniel can rest in peace."
The smile on Lin Tiegen's face faltered slightly, and he said lightly: "It's his fortune, third uncle, don't mention those bad things on good days."
In the past, Lin Tiegen would never have dared to speak in such an attitude in front of respected elders, but now that Lin Ze is promising, he also has confidence, his back is straight, and he doesn't have to be cautious when speaking.
Uncle Clan was stunned for a moment, then smiled coquettishly, "Look at my foolishness, yes, today we will make a special trip to congratulate Mr. Xiucai, and don't mention anything else."
Li Cuixiang was busy entertaining guests in front of and behind the house, and the smile on her face never faded, but the gray eyes revealed another meaning.
The aunt in the village teased her with a smile, "Cuixiang, you are now a scholar, you can't sleep at night if you are so happy, and then you will be the mother of Juren and Jinshi, what are you doing!"
Li Cuixiang scolded her a few times, and perfunctoryly smiled.
How can she say that since she killed Daniel, she hasn't been able to fall asleep steadily one night.Every time I close my eyes, I feel like going back to the day when Daniu fell to his death from the cliff, seeing him crawling up from the bottom of the cliff, wet all over, rolling his cloudy and godless eyes, asking her to pay for his life.
Not only Daniel, but also the dumb daughter-in-law would appear from time to time, standing in front of her bed with blood all over her face, staring at him, as if asking her why she didn't save herself.
Li Cuixiang was not a brave person at first, but she almost drove her crazy after such a day-to-day struggle, and gradually felt guilt and remorse in her heart. Looking back, Da Niu didn't actually do anything at the time, so they couldn't bear it. Well, why did you go to the step of killing people...
She didn't tell Lin Ze about this idea. Now that I think about it, it's good that I didn't say it. Otherwise, it would add trouble to Aze. The pride of being a "talented lady" completely evaporated the little bit of regret that Li Cuixiang just showed up. What Aze said is right, those who achieve big things don't care about small things, Daniel blocked Aze's way, she did nothing wrong for her son!
Although she successfully convinced herself, the "ghosts of the dead" would still tirelessly wander in her dreams every night that followed.
While everyone was celebrating for him, Lin Ze, the newly-passed scholar, was not very happy at this time. A scholar was just the starting point of his goal, and his ambition was far more than that. There is, but Bole doesn't often have the depression of ".
Even though scholars are rare in their Dalin Village, or even in the entire Zhao'an County, if they want to really enter the circle of scholars, this is just a stepping stone.
Lin Ze originally wanted to take the opportunity to expand his network after passing the scholar examination, and to make friends in the same class and famous teachers, but he still thought too simply. When he heard that he came from a poor peasant family, those who grew up with golden spoons The children of the big rich family seemed to smell the poverty in him, and they wished to retreat a few feet away from him immediately.The so-called respected teachers all had their eyes high above their heads, and they didn't even bother to look at him a few more times.
A few days ago, Lin Ze heard that there was an old gentleman in Zhao'an County who was an acquaintance with an academician of a well-known academy in the capital. He specially brought a well-prepared gift to visit and asked the old gentleman to write a letter of recommendation for him. Regardless of the level of teachers or the cultivation of classmates, they are leading the country, which is the place Lin Ze dreams of.
However, the old gentleman only sat with him for a while, then shook his head to express his helplessness, and asked him to go back to invite Gao Ming, and even returned the gift, because he thought the gift he gave was too shabby!
Lin Ze left angrily, completely ignoring the old gentleman's comment on him with a sigh, "Eager for quick success and quick profit, full of self-interest, ungentlemanly".
A joke, who in this world is not eager for quick success, and who is dissatisfied with seeking profit!He knew from the age of three that if he didn't grab food from his elder brother, he would starve himself.
After leaving the old man's house, Lin Ze wandered around in Zhao'an County, feeling that the world is vast and there is no place for him to display his true abilities, so depressed!
Suddenly a childish voice sounded beside him, "Uncle, are you lost?"
Lin Ze followed the sound and looked over. It was a boy of seven or eight years old, dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, and the accessories on his head and waist were all expensive. He looked like a child of a wealthy family.
They are all reincarnated to be human, so why should others have everything they want, and he doesn't have a good background!
At this moment, Lin Ze's hatred of the rich was extremely high. After carefully observing that the boy was not following anyone else, a perfect smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "That's right, my uncle just came to Zhao'an County. I haven't found a place after two laps, can you take me to a place?"
The boy replied crisply: "Okay, uncle, where are you going?"
Lin Ze reported to him the name of a remote alley, the boy tilted his head and thought for a while, excitedly said: "Ah Bao knows this place, come with me, uncle!"
As he spoke, he bouncingly led the way ahead, stepping back and waiting for Lin Ze to follow.
Lin Ze followed the boy slowly, with countless malicious thoughts flashing through his mind, and he only waited to execute it when there was no one around. Unexpectedly, when he was about to reach the destination, the boy, namely Abao, suddenly trotted onto the street, He yelled loudly, "Come on, come on! There is a trafficker here, who wants to kidnap and sell children! Come and catch him!"
He, Uncle Lin Lang, said that he must not trust adults who ask children for help, let alone people who want to take children to remote places. Even if they are not human traffickers, there must be other conspiracy!These days, in order to find out bad guys for other children, he has to patrol the streets every day, and when he sees people acting suspiciously, he has to go up and try them out, but he is too busy!
Lin Ze: "???"
Do kids nowadays play like this? !
A Bao slipped out after throwing off the close nurse and servant. When he yelled, those who were looking for him from the Lu family immediately surrounded him when they heard the sound. I couldn't help crying and laughing at this scene.
Abao pointed at Lin Ze and said arrogantly: "Dad, it's him, he wants to abduct Abao, you arrest him quickly!"
But he obviously didn't do anything, so Lu Jingye picked up Ah Bao, "You brat, where did you come up with so many unreasonable principles!"
Abao plausibly said, "Uncle Lin Lang said it! How could an adult ask a child for help? He must have evil intentions!"
After hearing what A Bao said, when Lu Jingye looked at Lin Ze again, he seemed to feel a chill from him, subconsciously feeling displeased.But Lin Ze has the reputation of a scholar after all, and he hasn't done anything bad yet, so he can't pursue anything.
In the end, this incident was treated as a farce. Lu Jingye held Abao to apologize to Lin Ze before leaving. Lin Ze didn't mind on the surface, but he angrily scolded Abao's name "Lin Lang" many times in his heart. , The whole world really wants to fight against him!
On the way back, Ah Bao’s mouth was almost pouted, and the father had no choice but to explain to his son, "Father asked you to apologize not because he thought your thoughts were wrong, but because you were too reckless. Next time you meet a bad person, you can’t do it yourself." Get together, first ensure your own safety, and then find trusted people to help!"
Ah Bao snorted dissatisfiedly, "Didn't I ask you for help, and you let the bad guy go, it's really useless, hmph!"
Lu Jingye was not used to his bad temper, so he snorted at him, "Is there any evidence to prove that he is a bad person? It doesn't count if you are just a child."
"Evidence? You should have said it earlier!" Abao curled his lips, and his little brain seemed to understand something. At this time, Lu Jingye didn't know that his family's stinky boy would make a sensation in the county. big event.
**
Turning his gaze back to the northwest border city, the barbarian army stationed tens of miles outside the city stood still for several days, and finally ushered in a new general—the tribal prince Luda, who also brought the leader's instructions to temporarily withdraw the troops to discuss peace. In exchange for the second prince Una who was captured alive.
After receiving the request for peace from the barbarian army, General Fan immediately called a group of soldiers to discuss. Lin Ze is now a participating general, so he is naturally qualified to participate.
"I am in favor of letting Una go back," Vice General Xu, who was sitting in the deputy seat, smiled and brushed Lin Ze aside, with a somewhat provocative face, "As we all know, Una and Ruda have always been at odds, let them live together Yiying can fight on his own, so he doesn’t have the energy to harm me again.”
What's more, Wuna was captured by Lin Lang, and putting it back now would be a waste of effort for Lin Lang, and Vice General Xu felt comfortable thinking about it.
Another senior general who was older than Lin Lang cupped his hands and said, "I think it's impossible! The barbarians are always domineering and conceited, and never keep their promises. If they let Wuna go back easily this time, they might think that I'm afraid of them. The arrogance is even more arrogant!"
The general's surname was Hu, and he belonged to Prime Minister Qu's faction. He also came to look for Lin Lang a few days ago, and he persuaded Lin Lang to join him in serving the Lord.Whether Hu Shenjiang's words came from his heart or not, it showed one thing, Prime Minister Qu didn't want Una to go back safely.
Lin Lang pondered the reason, either Prime Minister Qu wanted to completely provoke a war between Daxing and the barbarians, or he secretly reached some kind of agreement with the eldest prince Luda, wanting to eradicate Una and help Luda ascend the throne, Lin Lang is more inclined to guess the latter.
There is no clear reminder of this in the original plot, but Lin Ze finally communicated with the foreign enemy, causing countless people in Daxing to lose their country and their families. The so-called "foreign enemy" is the barbarian prince Luda.
Prime Minister Qu is Lin Ze's mentor, and also the greatest help for Lin Ze to show his talents in the court. Lin Lang has to suspect that Lin Ze's ability to connect with Lu Da in the first place should be thanks to Prime Minister Qu. Prime Minister Qu also underestimated his ambition and did not expect him to act treasonously.
Vice General Xu represented the emperor's faction, and General Hu Can represented Prime Minister Qu's faction. After hearing the words of the two factions, General Fan, who was in the chair, sneered and threw the topic to Lin Lang, "General Lin, Una is yours." Captured, how do you think to deal with it?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Lin Lang.
Lin Lang took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate thinks it's okay to let Wuna go back to the barbarians, but first ask the dead people in the border town if they agree, and the soldiers buried in the wilderness if they agree!",,
The news was immediately reported to the capital, and within a few days the emperor's imperial decree was issued. As General Fan said, the emperor greatly praised Lin Lang's bravery and resourcefulness, praised him as a model for the entire army, and rewarded him with gold and silver. It was also bestowed by the imperial pen, and he was promoted to be a general of the Northwest Army, and his status in the army was second only to the general and deputy general.

The smile on Lin Tiegen's face faltered slightly, and he said lightly: "It's his fortune, third uncle, don't mention those bad things on good days."
In the past, Lin Tiegen would never have dared to speak in such an attitude in front of respected elders, but now that Lin Ze is promising, he also has confidence, his back is straight, and he doesn't have to be cautious when speaking.
Uncle Clan was stunned for a moment, then smiled coquettishly, "Look at my foolishness, yes, today we will make a special trip to congratulate Mr. Xiucai, and don't mention anything else."
Li Cuixiang was busy entertaining guests in front of and behind the house, and the smile on her face never faded, but the gray eyes revealed another meaning.
The aunt in the village teased her with a smile, "Cuixiang, you are now a scholar, you can't sleep at night if you are so happy, and then you will be the mother of Juren and Jinshi, what are you doing!"
Li Cuixiang scolded her a few times, and perfunctoryly smiled.
How can she say that since she killed Daniel, she hasn't been able to fall asleep steadily one night.Every time I close my eyes, I feel like going back to the day when Daniu fell to his death from the cliff, seeing him crawling up from the bottom of the cliff, wet all over, rolling his cloudy and godless eyes, asking her to pay for his life.
Not only Daniel, but also the dumb daughter-in-law would appear from time to time, standing in front of her bed with blood all over her face, staring at him, as if asking her why she didn't save herself.
Li Cuixiang was not a brave person at first, but she almost drove her crazy after such a day-to-day struggle, and gradually felt guilt and remorse in her heart. Looking back, Da Niu didn't actually do anything at the time, so they couldn't bear it. Well, why did you go to the step of killing people...
She didn't tell Lin Ze about this idea. Now that I think about it, it's good that I didn't say it. Otherwise, it would add trouble to Aze. The pride of being a "talented lady" completely evaporated the little bit of regret that Li Cuixiang just showed up. What Aze said is right, those who achieve big things don't care about small things, Daniel blocked Aze's way, she did nothing wrong for her son!
Although she successfully convinced herself, the "ghosts of the dead" would still tirelessly wander in her dreams every night that followed.
While everyone was celebrating for him, Lin Ze, the newly-passed scholar, was not very happy at this time. A scholar was just the starting point of his goal, and his ambition was far more than that. There is, but Bole doesn't often have the depression of ".
Even though scholars are rare in their Dalin Village, or even in the entire Zhao'an County, if they want to really enter the circle of scholars, this is just a stepping stone.
Lin Ze originally wanted to take the opportunity to expand his network after passing the scholar examination, and to make friends in the same class and famous teachers, but he still thought too simply. When he heard that he came from a poor peasant family, those who grew up with golden spoons The children of the big rich family seemed to smell the poverty in him, and they wished to retreat a few feet away from him immediately.The so-called respected teachers all had their eyes high above their heads, and they didn't even bother to look at him a few more times.
A few days ago, Lin Ze heard that there was an old gentleman in Zhao'an County who was an acquaintance with an academician of a well-known academy in the capital. He specially brought a well-prepared gift to visit and asked the old gentleman to write a letter of recommendation for him. Regardless of the level of teachers or the cultivation of classmates, they are leading the country, which is the place Lin Ze dreams of.
However, the old gentleman only sat with him for a while, then shook his head to express his helplessness, and asked him to go back to invite Gao Ming, and even returned the gift, because he thought the gift he gave was too shabby!
Lin Ze left angrily, completely ignoring the old gentleman's comment on him with a sigh, "Eager for quick success and quick profit, full of self-interest, ungentlemanly".
A joke, who in this world is not eager for quick success, and who is dissatisfied with seeking profit!He knew from the age of three that if he didn't grab food from his elder brother, he would starve himself.
After leaving the old man's house, Lin Ze wandered around in Zhao'an County, feeling that the world is vast and there is no place for him to display his true abilities, so depressed!
Suddenly a childish voice sounded beside him, "Uncle, are you lost?"
Lin Ze followed the sound and looked over. It was a boy of seven or eight years old, dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, and the accessories on his head and waist were all expensive. He looked like a child of a wealthy family.
They are all reincarnated to be human, so why should others have everything they want, and he doesn't have a good background!
At this moment, Lin Ze's hatred of the rich was extremely high. After carefully observing that the boy was not following anyone else, a perfect smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "That's right, my uncle just came to Zhao'an County. I haven't found a place after two laps, can you take me to a place?"
The boy replied crisply: "Okay, uncle, where are you going?"
Lin Ze reported to him the name of a remote alley, the boy tilted his head and thought for a while, excitedly said: "Ah Bao knows this place, come with me, uncle!"
As he spoke, he bouncingly led the way ahead, stepping back and waiting for Lin Ze to follow.
Lin Ze followed the boy slowly, with countless malicious thoughts flashing through his mind, and he only waited to execute it when there was no one around. Unexpectedly, when he was about to reach the destination, the boy, namely Abao, suddenly trotted onto the street, He yelled loudly, "Come on, come on! There is a trafficker here, who wants to kidnap and sell children! Come and catch him!"
He, Uncle Lin Lang, said that he must not trust adults who ask children for help, let alone people who want to take children to remote places. Even if they are not human traffickers, there must be other conspiracy!These days, in order to find out bad guys for other children, he has to patrol the streets every day, and when he sees people acting suspiciously, he has to go up and try them out, but he is too busy!
Lin Ze: "???"
Do kids nowadays play like this? !
A Bao slipped out after throwing off the close nurse and servant. When he yelled, those who were looking for him from the Lu family immediately surrounded him when they heard the sound. I couldn't help crying and laughing at this scene.
Abao pointed at Lin Ze and said arrogantly: "Dad, it's him, he wants to abduct Abao, you arrest him quickly!"
But he obviously didn't do anything, so Lu Jingye picked up Ah Bao, "You brat, where did you come up with so many unreasonable principles!"
Abao plausibly said, "Uncle Lin Lang said it! How could an adult ask a child for help? He must have evil intentions!"
After hearing what A Bao said, when Lu Jingye looked at Lin Ze again, he seemed to feel a chill from him, subconsciously feeling displeased.But Lin Ze has the reputation of a scholar after all, and he hasn't done anything bad yet, so he can't pursue anything.
In the end, this incident was treated as a farce. Lu Jingye held Abao to apologize to Lin Ze before leaving. Lin Ze didn't mind on the surface, but he angrily scolded Abao's name "Lin Lang" many times in his heart. , The whole world really wants to fight against him!
On the way back, Ah Bao’s mouth was almost pouted, and the father had no choice but to explain to his son, "Father asked you to apologize not because he thought your thoughts were wrong, but because you were too reckless. Next time you meet a bad person, you can’t do it yourself." Get together, first ensure your own safety, and then find trusted people to help!"
Ah Bao snorted dissatisfiedly, "Didn't I ask you for help, and you let the bad guy go, it's really useless, hmph!"
Lu Jingye was not used to his bad temper, so he snorted at him, "Is there any evidence to prove that he is a bad person? It doesn't count if you are just a child."
"Evidence? You should have said it earlier!" Abao curled his lips, and his little brain seemed to understand something. At this time, Lu Jingye didn't know that his family's stinky boy would make a sensation in the county. big event.
**
Turning his gaze back to the northwest border city, the barbarian army stationed tens of miles outside the city stood still for several days, and finally ushered in a new general—the tribal prince Luda, who also brought the leader's instructions to temporarily withdraw the troops to discuss peace. In exchange for the second prince Una who was captured alive.
After receiving the request for peace from the barbarian army, General Fan immediately called a group of soldiers to discuss. Lin Ze is now a participating general, so he is naturally qualified to participate.
"I am in favor of letting Una go back," Vice General Xu, who was sitting in the deputy seat, smiled and brushed Lin Ze aside, with a somewhat provocative face, "As we all know, Una and Ruda have always been at odds, let them live together Yiying can fight on his own, so he doesn’t have the energy to harm me again.”
What's more, Wuna was captured by Lin Lang, and putting it back now would be a waste of effort for Lin Lang, and Vice General Xu felt comfortable thinking about it.
Another senior general who was older than Lin Lang cupped his hands and said, "I think it's impossible! The barbarians are always domineering and conceited, and never keep their promises. If they let Wuna go back easily this time, they might think that I'm afraid of them. The arrogance is even more arrogant!"
The general's surname was Hu, and he belonged to Prime Minister Qu's faction. He also came to look for Lin Lang a few days ago, and he persuaded Lin Lang to join him in serving the Lord.Whether Hu Shenjiang's words came from his heart or not, it showed one thing, Prime Minister Qu didn't want Una to go back safely.
Lin Lang pondered the reason, either Prime Minister Qu wanted to completely provoke a war between Daxing and the barbarians, or he secretly reached some kind of agreement with the eldest prince Luda, wanting to eradicate Una and help Luda ascend the throne, Lin Lang is more inclined to guess the latter.
There is no clear reminder of this in the original plot, but Lin Ze finally communicated with the foreign enemy, causing countless people in Daxing to lose their country and their families. The so-called "foreign enemy" is the barbarian prince Luda.
Prime Minister Qu is Lin Ze's mentor, and also the greatest help for Lin Ze to show his talents in the court. Lin Lang has to suspect that Lin Ze's ability to connect with Lu Da in the first place should be thanks to Prime Minister Qu. Prime Minister Qu also underestimated his ambition and did not expect him to act treasonously.
Vice General Xu represented the emperor's faction, and General Hu Can represented Prime Minister Qu's faction. After hearing the words of the two factions, General Fan, who was in the chair, sneered and threw the topic to Lin Lang, "General Lin, Una is yours." Captured, how do you think to deal with it?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Lin Lang.
Lin Lang took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate thinks it's okay to let Wuna go back to the barbarians, but first ask the dead people in the border town if they agree, and the soldiers buried in the wilderness if they agree!",,
