wait for me to be king

Yanmenguan is very lively this New Year.

Duke Dingguo didn't want to stay longer in Dai County, so he stayed at Yanmen Pass with his daughter and son-in-law. Although Yanmen Pass was burned to ashes by Xie Changfeng, Yanmen Pass has been an important line of defense against foreigners since the Spring and Autumn Period. Yanmen Pass will be renovated and strengthened every year. Even if Xie Changfeng set fire to it, at most the city wall was darkened, and some houses in the pass were turned into scorched earth, while other places were not damaged much.

However, Jingbian Temple was completely turned into ruins, and the only clay Buddha statue was burned to ashes by the fire. The old monk guarding here was crying. When he saw Xie Changfeng, he rushed over and hugged Xie Changfeng's thigh. Also refused to let go.

The corner of Xie Changfeng's mouth twitched slightly. He also knew that his previous fire was hurtful, and he was not afraid, but in the eyes of the world, the sins he committed would definitely be revenged on Lin and the children in Lin's stomach, Xie Changfeng thought In order to simply pay for it, Jingbian Temple was rebuilt, and the tablets of those Daijun clans were put in and enshrined, and a lot of sesame oil money was donated.

The old monk looked at the memorial tablet in shock, then at Xie Changfeng, and wondered in his heart, did this general not do it on purpose?

Xie Changfeng burned three sticks of incense calmly, turned and left.

In the military tent, Duke Ding Lin Jingcheng looked at the memorial in his hand and was speechless.

Look, how did his good son-in-law report the battle of Yanmen Pass?

Chen Xie Changfeng found the enemy in the middle of the night and went out of the city to pursue him?When the Xiongnu attacked, the great clans of Daijun struggled to resist, and when they found that they could not repel the enemy, they burned everything together to avenge the [-] innocent people in Daijun, using themselves as bait to set fire to Yanmen Pass?The minister is incompetent, after the flames burst into the sky, he realized that something was wrong and hurried back to the city, only in time to desperately rescue His Highness the Crown Prince?All the other Daijun families died in the fire?

Lin Jingcheng almost threw the memorial in Xie Changfeng's face.

"You are lying about military information!!"

Xie Changfeng didn't care, "I still asked for seals for those noble families. The list is behind them. Everyone is dead. Why should I care so much?"

Lin Jingcheng gritted his teeth, glanced at it, and found that Lian Yong's name was actually included in Xie Changfeng's invitation list ==

He took a deep breath, pointed at the line 'Desperately rescue His Highness the Crown Prince', and cursed, "Are you so sure that His Highness the Crown Prince will not expose your lies?"

"Then how is he going to explain that he wasn't there that night?" Xie Changfeng said lazily, "I'll give him an excuse. It's too late for him to thank me, so how could he expose me?"

Lin Jingcheng was angry, "If you do this, you are not afraid that His Royal Highness will hate you? In the future, he will eventually..."

Xie Changfeng sneered, "So what about disgust? Seizing the heir is risky, and the success rate is so low, it doesn't matter if he fails, but if he succeeds...he will always use me to fight."

Qi Yuan's heart is so big, how can this little territory satisfy him?

"Forget it, it will take at least a few years until the crown prince ascends the throne, let's see." Lin Jingcheng sighed deeply, "There is one more thing I want to say hello to you first."

Xie Changfeng looked at Lin Jingcheng, "What's the matter?"

"About the child." Lin Jingcheng said helplessly, "No matter what, Qingniang's child is Xie's son. Even if he is adopted, the title of Duke Ding... I am afraid it will be difficult for him to inherit it."

Xie Changfeng frowned, "What does father-in-law mean..."

"It was reported in the mansion that His Majesty sent Li Fu, the chief eunuch in charge, to reward the troops at the border. In addition, the crown prince was just established and the new emperor ascended the throne. After the new year, it is estimated that His Majesty will summon all the generals guarding the border in turn, so I plan to discuss with Director Li. Let's go to the capital together and make arrangements in advance."

Lin Jingcheng said slowly, "It would be best if His Majesty could speak and let Qingniang's son inherit the title. If not... I will try my best to ask His Majesty to give the title to you."

Xie Changfeng was taken aback.

Lin Jingcheng smiled, and the vicissitudes between his brows faded away, like the sky after the rain, clear and empty.

"After the title falls on you, the child...doesn't have to be adopted."

Xie Changfeng shook his head, "Father-in-law, please be cautious about the title of title. I, Xie Changfeng, never underestimate myself. It may be impossible for the Duke of the State, but it is not difficult to be a Duke."

"I believe in your ability, anyway, let's take one step at a time."

The chief eunuch Li Fu is not tall. He is dressed in purple and serves as a chief eunuch. He has a white, beardless face and a smile on his face. softness.

Li Fu and Lin Jingcheng are old acquaintances.

Outside Yanmen Pass, there was a long way to go, before Li Fu got out of the carriage, Lin Jingcheng rode his horse and galloped there. Before the man arrived, he burst out laughing.

"It's such a joy to have friends coming from afar! Old Li, long time no see!!"

Li Fu, who was sitting in the carriage, was taken aback for a moment, and then he showed a big smile. He asked the driver to stop, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and got out of the carriage. When he looked up, he saw Lin Jingcheng get off his horse and stride towards him.

Just as Li Fu raised his hand to make a bow, he saw Lin Jingcheng put his arms around Li Fu's shoulders, "Brother, the border crossing is a long way away, and the wind and sand all the way, it's really hard work for you!"

The smile on Li Fu's face was even brighter. This Duke Ding is really a sweetheart. He hasn't seen him in ten years, yet he is still so enthusiastic.

He also smiled and said, "Brother Lin, you are being polite. I haven't seen you for so many years. I heard that the emperor intends to reward the army, so I will take the initiative to invite Ying. Brother, don't blame me for being abrupt."

After finishing speaking, he carefully looked into Lin Jingcheng's eyes, only to find that there was nothing but surprise and happiness in these eyes.

Lin Jingcheng laughed, "What's so abrupt? I'm so happy that you're here! Hurry up, I've got someone to prepare a hot water banquet, my brother, let's go wash up first, and then you and I can have a good talk!"

Li Fu also laughed out loud. He purposely called me instead of slaves just now, but Ding Guogong didn't care at all. Thinking about the scene when the late emperor was still alive, when they followed the late emperor to fight the world, Li Fu's face The smile became real.

"Then I'm welcome!"

Although he said he had to wash first, Li Fu took the emperor's order and summoned many soldiers to the barracks to distribute the rewards from Emperor Xuanming. Close the door and go home to rest. After the New Year's Eve, the court will discuss and decide.

The soldiers at Yanmen Pass were delighted from ear to ear.

Speaking of which, this year's New Year is more prosperous than previous years. Everyone has made a lot of money. Seeing that it will be the New Year's Eve soon, they are all waiting for the New Year's shift schedule and waiting to go home for the New Year.

Li Fu and Lin Jingcheng are old acquaintances, so Xie Changfeng handed over the task of receiving the chief executive to his father-in-law. After Li Fu rewarded the army, Xie Changfeng took Wang Zhuang and Yunyang to inspect again, and then began to arrange for the soldiers to go home take a vacation.

Lin's stomach is already eight months old, her calf is a little swollen, and it is extremely difficult to walk. There is not much military work recently, so Xie Changfeng went home early to help Lin's calf massage.

Lin was reluctant at first, but Xie Changfeng said, "You and I may have to live like this for the rest of our lives. Although you and I have no intentions or intentions, we will finally get to know each other. If you don't dislike it, then treat me as your elder brother."

He stretched out his hand, touched Lin's slightly loose bun, and said with a smile, "I just became an extra girl, how about it?"

"I promised Brother Lin to take care of you."

Lin's nose was sore, she whimpered, and burst into tears. Xie Changfeng patted Lin's shoulder and sighed, "Don't cry, don't cry, stand up..." Fuck?

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he suddenly realized that this is not a joke that brothers in the army can casually make fun of ==

Xie Changfeng returned home early that day, and as soon as he arrived in the small garden, he saw Mrs. Lin leaning on the soft couch in the small garden, with tea and pastries placed on the low table in front of him.

"Have guests?" Xie Changfeng went to sit next to Lin, and began to massage Lin with ease.

Only then did Lin realize that Xie Changfeng had returned, and she said softly, "Madam Yun is here again."

"Mrs. Yun? Yunyang's mother?" Xie Changfeng said casually, "What is she doing here?"

"...Husband, the family tree has a long history. Even if most people were burned to death in that fire, there will always be someone alive." Lin was a little tired, "Someone seems to be inquiring about this matter."

Xie Changfeng said nonchalantly, "It's normal, but it's okay. The reason why I left that night was because Mrs. Yun told you that you needed herbs, and I was worried about you."

He showed a cold smile, "Ms. Yun is the fuse of this matter. If she doesn't gossip in your ears, will I leave? If I don't leave, the Huns will rush into the pass?"

Lin was taken aback, she stared blankly at Xie Changfeng, horrified in her heart, could it be that Xie Changfeng had already figured this out at the very beginning?

"You don't need to see Mrs. Yun all the time, you can also meet the wives of other officials in Dai County." Xie Changfeng smiled, "You grew up in Dai County, you must have a lot of handkerchiefs, and you are all invited to meet See, just let me say that the reason why I left on the night of the Yanmen Pass fire was all because you heard Yun's words, and you feel guilty and restless. You can't sleep these days, and there are always wailing sounds in your dreams. Ask What should your friend do?"

Mrs. Lin opened her mouth wide. This move was too poisonous. In this way, Mrs. Yun would become a scapegoat!

"General, is it necessary to do such a trick? After all, Mr. Yun is still under your command..."

"Hehe, it's okay, don't underestimate the Yun family."

Xie Changfeng thought with a smile, if he took the blame and kept his filial piety, would the empress still want this daughter of the Yun family to be her concubine?

If the daughter of the Yun family can't become a princess, the empress will have a rift with the Yun family. Although Han Guogong hates the direct branch of the Yun family, but if there are really people who are plotting against the Yun family, can he sit idly by?It doesn't matter if the daughter of the Yun family continues to be the princess, but he can take this opportunity to take a good look at the queen's methods.

After all, he promised Lin that he would take revenge.

Just a queen.

He sneered, there are still fewer deposed queens in the history books?

Time passed like running water, and soon the first month came out, and everything returned to normal.

Ding Guogong set off for Beijing with Li Fu in the first lunar month, and one month after he left, the Lin family began to mobilize.

Xie Changfeng was forced out of the door by Qingping, only seeing the pots of blood brought out, and Lin's miserable wailing, he shrank his neck involuntarily, and became nervous in his heart.

To be honest, he has never experienced this kind of scene, no matter in his previous life or in his previous life.

Lin struggled for a whole day and night, but Xie Changfeng couldn't help but rushed in. He held Lin's hand, slowly channeled his internal energy, and kept encouraging Lin.

The next day, when the morning light was rising and the morning dew was waiting for the sun, Mrs. Lin gave birth to a son.

Seeing the crying child, Xie Changfeng felt for the first time that life is so fragile and yet so tenacious.

He couldn't help smiling.
