The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

God is very fair. He gave a man his character and talent at the same time, but he was stingy at giving him a few years of time.Liu Xiangru is a person who is not astute, reads widely, and speaks eloquently. He is called a child prodigy.In four years of high school in Longde, he served as an editor of the Imperial Academy. In the same year, he became mad after drinking. The "Letter to the Snow Queen" was written in one go. On the sickbed, the world's genius doctors were helpless. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year's Day in the eighth year of Longde, thousands of families were reunited, but Liu Hanlin finally lost to the illness that had plagued him for more than [-] years.

He has no wife and no children, and his only younger brother became a Taoist priest. Although he finally returned home, he was too sad to act. On the contrary, Rong Jia, who had never dealt with him, ran back and forth to take care of his funeral.

Now that the battle is urgent, the emperor didn't know Liu Xiangru passed away until some time later.When he arrived, he didn't have time to write an epitaph for himself. He only left a copy of "Shanhelu", which is about to be completed, recording the humanities and features of various places and major events since the founding of the dynasty.The emperor turned to the character chapter, and then sighed: "Only Liu Qing's own is missing."

He is the grandson of Duke Li, and even though he is so estranged now that he never communicates with him, the emperor still swiped his pen and asked Duke Li to adopt an heir for him and deal with the funeral affairs.It was reported that Rong Jia's younger sister and Liu Xiangru were going to get married, so his busy schedule now has an impact on his sister's boudoir reputation.It's just that Liu Xiangru was talking about a character, and he was gone. If nothing else, it would be a big loss to the literary world, and not many people would dare to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks on this matter.

Even Baoyu felt that this was a pity.

He had never seen Liu Xiangru's personality before, so naturally he couldn't say it. His widely praised articles and poems were not to Baoyu's liking. What's more, the few of them had just talked about others that day, and they heard the bad news a few days later, so they had to be frightened for a while.

Liu Xianglian didn't continue to be his hermit, and stayed at home to guard her aunt honestly, fearing that the old man would be too sad. He himself has always been trustworthy and reliable to his friends, but he only had time to see his elder brother for the last time. How could he not be upset? Pity!He is a self-willed person, he often goes out to travel, and even if he does not return home for three or four years, he still feels that his elder brother is controlling him, so he is not very happy.But before Liu Xiangru left, he never said a word to him, it was heartbreaking.

But there is no other way.

People are gone.

Lin Mo, who was on the road all night, didn't know the news of the death of his colleague who was as famous as him and was often discussed together. Now all he could think about was how many days before he could reach Mohe, and how far he was from Crane City. Have the reinforcements from Hecheng to Mohe arrived, and what will happen to them in the past?

Most of the people outside the pass are the sturdy Kong Wu, along the way, thanks to the fact that the soldiers of the Beijing Prince's Mansion are not ostentatious, otherwise, it would not be enough to deal with it with only the manpower of the grain guards.

Only then did Lin Mo fully realize how flustered and disorganized it was to come out by himself.Thinking of the vows I made when I left the capital, I found it even more ridiculous.He is so arrogant that he actually forgot the phrase "a scholar who is useless for everything". Since he has a solid tongue and can only talk about wars on paper, he is really useless outside the pass where victory is won by force. .

Fortunately, it is water soluble.

He couldn't help being afraid, if he really came here alone, even if he escaped the robbery, what would he do if he really encountered a corrupt official?Even if Shang Fang's sword is in hand, the strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and everyone knows that the imperial court is tense and has no time to worry about it. Even if he wants to rule, who will obey him?

"What are you laughing at?" The man frowns and sneers for a while, his face is really unpredictable.Shui Rong only felt a chill down his back. After being together for a long time, he also knew Lin Mo's temperament, so he didn't want to try to figure it out by himself, so he asked clearly.Fortunately, since they had a different relationship, Lin Mo didn't have anything to hide from him, calling Shui Rong quite proud.

Lin Mo smiled and shook his head: "We will arrive at Crane City in the afternoon."

As soon as he said this, even Shui Rong became happy: "I have to take a bath." Fortunately, it's winter, if it's summer, Shui Rong can't wait to dig a hole and bury himself immediately.He is the noble son of the royal family, even though he has suffered hardships before, there are people who serve him back and forth. This time, for Lin Mo, he is willing to endure such hardships and eat with great relish, even he himself was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Crane City, they heard a piece of good news.

Bai Shiyue broke free from Beidi's guards, sneaked to their camp, chopped off the head of their general Hunhu, and ran back to Mohe overnight.

Hunhu can be regarded as the second leader in the Beidi army. He is under the Beidi king Fue. Even Fuer, he has to learn from the Central Plains people and call him Mr. in a polite manner. He is revered as the god of war in Beidi. When Bai Shiyue was captured that day, he was ambushed by this one, and now he came here, it is considered revenge.

The steward of the post station was very happy when he said it, but he wished he could describe Bai Shi as super powerful and omnipotent.Although Lin Mo knew that he was exaggerating too much, he was still delighted and said, "Happy!"

When I came to this place, I could only see a vast expanse of whiteness, the white mountains, the gray sky, and the dirty black road trampled by the feet of people and horses. Several deep colors were mixed together, as if they were thick and colorful. This stroke not only doubles the pressure, but also creates a sense of pride and ambition.

"The ancients said that words are the voice of the heart, and it is true. At home, I never liked Gao Shi's poems, but now I just want to sing them out loud." Even Shui Rong said so.

Lin Mo was very happy. When he saw the prefect of Hecheng, he was still smiling, which made prefect Yun suspicious of his title of "Laughing Yan Luo".The two had met each other and sat down according to the etiquette. Prefect Yun wanted to say something polite, but Lin Mo said straightforwardly: "Have the reinforcements from Crane City arrived in Mohe?"

Governor Yun was a little panicked: "The document from the Ministry of War tells us not to move the troops—" He hurriedly added, "However, a batch of food and grass has already been dispatched."

Crane City is quite close to Dongying, so the Ministry of War's order naturally has other considerations.Lin Mo nodded to express his understanding, and asked, "Which batch are we in?"

"Master Hou was the first to arrive." Prefect Yun said.

"It shouldn't be. The emperor ordered Song Yan, the general of Daxing, to support Mohe on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month last year. He is much closer than me!" Lin Mo's face darkened, but he was not angry.

Shui Rong touched his chin. He had no time or condition to groom a few days ago. He grew a beard and thought it was not bad. Who knew that Lin Mo asked him to shave it just after entering the post station. I don’t know if it was psychological As a result, he always felt that after shaving, his skin became thinner, and the fur collar on his clothes scratched his face, which made him unbearably itchy, so the words he said were not pleasant: "Song Yan doesn't want to do it, just change someone else." Now, who is his deputy?"

Lin Mo glared at him and told him not to speak casually.

Shui Rong coughed dryly: "I'm telling the truth! What time is it now, Marquis Jing Yuan is showing some vigor and resoluteness, I'm here."

Lin Mo asked back, "There are no more people, so why don't you lead troops to fight?"

Shui Rong wondered: "Didn't General Bai come back?"

Speaking of this, Prefect Yun hurriedly said, "That's right, Little General Bai is back, let alone Mohe, even us, feel a lot more at ease."

In fact, Bai Shiyue's grade is not too young, but because of his father, everyone still calls him Little General Bai now. It's not that he is like a god when he marches and deploys troops, but he is strange and changeable, which makes people wonder Don't allow your mind, so there have been times when you won a great victory against thousands of people, and there was a gap when you went deep into the enemy's camp and was captured last time. Now you can still fight back when you fall to the bottom of the valley. .

It is also because of his temperament that no one dares to make him the top leader even if he has made great achievements in the military. There is always a veteran by his side to support him.Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat: "Now that General Xi is recuperating, who is in charge of Mohe?"

Prefect Yun said: "I don't know about this, but I received their bulletin a few days ago, and it was still a private seal in Xi's characters. Some people said that Vice General Xi has returned."

Xi He!Sure enough, it was him.

Lin Mo didn't like this guy very much. Compared with Bai Shiyue, who is still alone, Xi He's family has several aunts and grandmas. Bai Qian used to talk about Bai Shiyue. Xi He is a man who speaks and does things out of order.

However, with Bai Shi Yue's great ability, it is very unlikely that he wandered around the Beidi military camp alone. There should be a support plan, and this person is probably arranged by Xi He.Lin Mo didn't like him, but she also felt that she should accept his affection.

Prefect Yun was quite honest, Lin Mo went back to the station, first counted the heads of food and grass, prepared the supplies, and planned to go to Mohe after a short rest.When Shui Rong heard that Bai Shiyue had come back, he felt a little uncomfortable. Lin Mo had sharp eyes: "Why are you panicking? The ugly daughter-in-law still wants to see her in-laws, let alone her uncle." Shui Rong frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not afraid this--"

Lin Mo was surprised: "So you're really scared? It doesn't look like you are usually skinny and shameless."

Shui Rong swallowed the rebuttal: "I'm going to sleep, I can sleep on the bed."

Lin Mo leaned against the door and asked him, "Are you sleeping alone today?"

Shui Rong found it strange that the two of them slept together in the small carriage for so long, and he didn't think much about it, but now Lin Mo's casual words made him think about it.

However, due to his distracted mind, Lin Mo really said it casually. Before he could figure out how to answer, he turned to change his clothes behind the screen and shouted: "When you go out, ask someone to come in and help me clean the clothes." The kang is burning."

Shui Rong slammed the door angrily.

He should have understood what a hateful person Lin Mo was.
