true

Although his goal is the throne, he must need a helper in the dark.

Even when the skaters were undergoing such a drastic change, she was still able to calm down and abandon the car.

No matter how bleak the situation is, it will not be worse than when the Hua family was wiped out.

She was too conceited about her own judgment, and she never looked up. Regarding this prince, she thought she understood his schemes and ambitions.

She was judging the chips, and it wasn't until the sword's edge was in front of her that it didn't halve, that she realized that all Xiao Jingyan wanted from the beginning was her life.

She was startled, and it was too late to escape.

Hearing the sound of iron piercing into the flesh, the blood splashed turned the pale dewweed red in an instant.

----

To die and then to live.

Princess Xuanji understood this truth, and Xiao Jingyan understood it even more.

Because he saw with his own eyes how a person who had died once returned to Jinling and tried his best to restore the innocence of [-] dead souls.

As long as people don't die, there are still too many things that can be done.

Just don't die.

----

"Unfortunately, I never make a deal with a tiger for skin."

"You..." She raised her head, people know that dying can often see through some invisible messes, but she couldn't find anything from those eyes as deep as a cold pool.

"No matter what you offer in exchange, I can't save your life, let alone send you to Xuanjing Division. I don't want to lie to you, and you won't believe me, so don't waste any more time."

"This sword should belong to you in the first place. It's a bit late, but it's not wronged."

The rest of her life flowed quickly with the blood, and she found desperately that Prince Jing still hadn't let down his vigilance until now, and he was paying attention to whether he left any messages for his clansmen.

At this moment, she was really desperate.

She played chess all her life.

In the end, she lost in an unexpected game, and until she died, she didn't even know where she made the wrong move.

One mistake, the whole board is lost.

"You hate me...why...?"

Because of Xiao Jingyu, because of the Chiyan Army, and because of Lin Shu.

Jingyan didn't answer.

Just when they found the carriage rut, he asked the others to wait for him to come alone, just to make a break with her.

But he didn't want to tell her why.

Lin Shuai of Meiling and the [-] soldiers of the Chiyan Army also asked why, but they didn't get an answer until their death.

The sobriety that you can't ask for until death.

----

In the end, she saw a rider in white riding on a high hill not far away.

For the sake of Huazu, if you can own this dead chess piece, you can make the still water in Jinling more muddy...

Lin Shu looked at the woman who turned her head to look in his direction before she died, and couldn't help feeling terrified.

Her appearance could not be seen clearly in the dim sky, but he really knew that she was looking at him.

And my fear was not because of her eyes wide open until death, but because of the sword on her chest that was held in Xiao Jingyan's hand.

He looks at Jingyan, holding a sword, standing alone on a frost-white withered grass wasteland.

Just feel the chill.

[Langya Bang] I True [Eighteen] (Shu Yan)

After Chuqi sent Nihuang away, Lin Shu went to bid farewell to the emperor.

Emperor Liang was not in such a hurry to let him go.

Originally, Lin Shu was asked to go to the East China Sea to separate him from Nihuang. Now that Nihuang lost his father, the marriage could be delayed for at least another three years, so Emperor Liang had no reason to ask him to go back.

It's best if he stays and can be used by him, if not, he would like to be closer to Jingyan or Jingxuan.

"Actually, the empress dowager and your mother have both told me that you don't have to go back when you come back this time. Lin Xie is not in Jinling now, and you are so old. You should help the family take care of your mother, or you want to open a mansion yourself. ?”

The opening of the mansion needs to be done after the big wedding, but at this time Nihuang can't get married, this is also a little thought of Emperor Liang.

In his heart, he always felt that Lin Shu was a child who had no scheming, could use some good things to lure him, and then he was so happy that he forgot about other things.

Before Lin Shu could speak, King Yu took the lead and said, "This is a good thing, I think it's better for Erchen to help Xiaoshu choose a location with good Fengshui."

Emperor Liang interrupted King Yu with a wave of his hand and said, "Where is the use of you? The Empress Dowager chose him a long time ago, and it's closer to Prince Qi's mansion, or you want to be closer to Jingyan?"

Lin Shu took a step forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I still want to go somewhere to practice."

The emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise, but was not too surprised by his answer, and asked without raising his eyes, "Why?"

"...Now that the military discipline of the garrison army is lax, and there are powerful enemies around, it is really not the time to stay in Jinling safely." Lin Shu said and handed over a piece of paper, "This is a new siege weapon made by Dayu. They After so many years of violating me, Daliang will never die, and he will definitely make a comeback, so I dare not relax."

Emperor Liang looked at the blueprint again and again. Even Jinling's city walls might not be able to withstand such a large siege weapon.

He asked again how he got the blueprints, and Lin Shu answered them in detail.

"Since this is the case, don't go back to Bianzhou. For those cities in the northern border, you go and supervise the military defense there for me. I will ask the Ministry of Households to allocate money to repair those cities."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Only this time, I'm going to be scolded for you again. If you let me go, the Empress Dowager and Jinyang will never forgive me." Emperor Liang smiled and pointed at him, "The matter of opening the mansion will wait for you this time." Come back and give you a reward."

----

Lin Shu came out of the study and was walking down when he heard Yu Wang calling his name.

Meng Zhi, the commander of the imperial army, was walking over, and met Lin Shu face to face, and saw that his back was facing King Yu, and he was frowning tightly.

Lin Shu doesn't like other people touching his things, and he doesn't like others calling him Xiao Shu casually.Except for his brothers in the army, the only one among his peers who could call him that was King Jing.

King Yu took two quick steps forward and caught up with Lin Shu, "It's a general after all, you walk really fast."

Lin Shu stopped, pretending to have just noticed King Yu's existence, bowed back and asked, "I don't know what's the matter with His Royal Highness?"

"Could it be necessary to stop you?" King Yu patted Lin Shu on the shoulder, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and I miss you so much. You won't be leaving until after the fifteenth day. Find time to come to my house." Sit down and talk about the old days."

Just as Lin Shu was about to speak, King Yu said again, "I just happened to get Mr. Li's treatise a year ago when he opened the altar to give lectures. You must have never read it when you were not in Beijing. When you come back, I will show it to you. .”

"What is it?" Sure enough, Lin Shu's eyes lit up when he heard that it was Li Chong's treatise.

"There are so many volumes. The old man has learned a lot, so he can't speak clearly in one or two sentences." Yu Wang smiled more intimately, "I think Father wanted you to stay, and Lin Shuai is not here now. Jinling needs more generals like you to sit in command."

"Today's Mongolian commander is also extraordinary in martial arts," Lin Shu said.

Meng Zhi hastily said that he did not dare to act.

"Of course...it's just that I remember that Commander Meng could have been transferred to the Forbidden Army two years ago, but his transfer order was repeatedly blocked by Jingyan, which made him transfer between various armies for more than a year... …If Jingyan hadn't stopped him then, he would have been the commander of the imperial army long ago, and he wouldn't have been killed in the inner prison."

Meng Zhi felt that Lin Shu's face was getting worse and worse, so he hurriedly smoothed things over, "At that time, I was far from enough in terms of prestige and qualifications. His Royal Highness King Jing probably considered this."

"Commander Meng, don't underestimate yourself. My younger brother sometimes has too many concerns. For example, in the Southern Chu War, you asked to go to the battle. He probably considered that the military training was unsupervised and supervised, so he strongly opposed it. , Later, the father agreed to him, and later, some people in the court said that they wanted to transfer you back from Bianzhou, but he objected..."

The more Meng Zhi listened, the more angry he became, but it was Lin Shu who not only listened carefully, but also asked several questions, until the two made an appointment at the gate of the palace where Lin Shu would visit Prince Yu's mansion the next day.

When King Yu returned to the mansion, he asked people to prepare the reception for Lin Shu's coming tomorrow.

The adviser around him persuaded, "Why does Your Highness treat Lin Shu so courteously? After all, Lin Shu has a very close relationship with Prince Qi and Prince Jing..."

"You don't know that Lin Xie is the closest to Prince Qi, and Lin Shu was much closer to Prince Jing when he was young."

"Since he belongs to Prince Jing, why does His Highness keep Lin Shu in Jinling...?"

"He is not Prince Jing's man."

King Yu knew that Lin Shu hadn't been to Prince Jing's mansion at all during the past few days when he returned to Jinling. He just accompanied Princess Nihuang and knocked on the doors of various shops that were closed in the first month of the lunar year to buy. Lin Shu was well known in Jinling. In a few days, she bought cloth, silk, and colored silk that have been used for several years. Princess Jinyang won the favor of the Empress Dowager, and bought Mu Qing a lot of small clothes, food, and a few cars. The cars are full.

"Although Lin Shu is smart, he is a young man with an inexperienced temper. He values ​​loyalty the most, and what he hates most are those official strife and conspiracies. I will add to Jingyan's 'great achievements' over the years, so even if he doesn't Even if you break up with him, you don't bother to be with him anymore."

"As for Brother Qi, his temper hasn't changed at all these years, and it will be a matter of time before he can tolerate him. When he loses power and Lin Shu can only choose among us princes, I want him to choose me."

"Then this subordinate will go find some of Li Chong's manuscripts and bring them back."

King Yu nodded, "It would be a pity not to take such a person who can lead troops and have military power for his own use, but to take him in, you can't use profit, you can only use love. After all, the manuscript is a meeting gift. Given time, we must let him You can only see the sincerity that this king treats him."
