The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Lin Mo sat cross-legged on the porch.The rainy season is almost over, and it will be rainy and hot in the future.But he has been cold since childhood, and now he has just changed his jacket.He was put in confinement, except for the night when Rong Jia, Dai Yu, and Shui Rong came, he no longer received visitors.To be honest, everyone is in danger now, and no one is willing or afraid to come to his house to join in the fun.But he is not a fool.Two days ago, it was Ma Kejiang who was guarding the alley outside his house. Later, he was replaced by a seventh-rank captain, and after that, he was a person whose name he had never heard of.

It should be that the situation has changed and the number of troops is insufficient.

Even the Habayashi Army came out in full force, it seems that the situation has changed.He hadn't read military books for several years, but these days he dug out the book collection, trying to know a little bit about the current situation, so that he could have something to do.However, after a rough look, he found that these things were thrown away by him more thoroughly than medical books. He can still read some simple headaches and brain fever. One point, I'm afraid I think I "understand" it.

But even if he doesn't know anything, he can estimate the situation of the battle.

The pattern of transporting thousands of people in the cabin of Fuyao Wengzhu is much more serious than the water-soluble material imagined.But in such a situation, in fact, the emperor should have prepared for it. Wouldn't someone really foolishly think that Wu Lianshui would commit trouble with 1000 people?Although he didn't know how strong the Wu family had been in business for these years, but he used himself to push others, even the young Bai Shiyue. A few widows who can only blame others?

Thinking of what Shui Rong said about the role of those old people, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.There are people who are underappreciated in this world, but those who are truly capable will not be able to do anything but complain about the Lord after being in such a situation. They are meritorious families, and their descendants can show their faces in front of the Emperor , but none of them have been reused, one or two may have been misjudged by the emperor, so many of them are eating and drinking at home waiting to die, there must be their own reasons.But if you think about it, you are so stupid that you can't even tell that Wu Lianshui is just using them as a target, so what can you expect from them?

He sat alone in the house, and since he sent his wife to the princess mansion, he asked her to stay with Princess He Hui for a few more days.No one came to visit, and he himself didn't ask anyone to go out to inquire about the news, so he didn't know anything about Jia Zhen's capture and the Tianjin incident.I have never felt this kind of blindness before. Even though I know that I can't help you even if I go out, I still can't help but feel anxious, thinking about what the situation is like.

In the evening, Mei Jue, the school lieutenant who was still guarding outside, sent a message: "There is going to be wine at the Beijing Prince's Mansion. It is said that there is not enough manpower. I need to borrow two competent people from Lord Hou."

"How dare you ask your lord to pass the news in person." Lin Mo said politely, "If the time is bad today, your lord is still guarding outside my house day and night, and he refuses to come in to rest. Mo Zao feels sorry, but now you Come here in person... Hey, I'm really ashamed."

Mei Jue had nothing to say about such an errand.The Imperial Forest Army is all elites, and they all want to make contributions.If this came from other miscellaneous troops, I might even be happy to myself. It is much safer to stay outside the door of the third-rank officials than to go to Tianjin, which is raging with war.But he still felt dissatisfied.After a few times of contact, Lin Mo never told them what to do, let alone threatened and lured them out to embarrass them even during the confinement period.This is also rare.He is not an unreasonable person, Lin Mo's official position is much higher than him, and now he puts on this posture, of course he will not let the third-rank officials put a cold face on him: "My lord is polite, but it is just a matter of convenience." Just work."

Lin Mo didn't avoid people either, and called Lin Kelai in front of him, and instructed him carefully: "Prince Beijing is hosting a banquet at this time, it is probably for his two little girls' first birthday preparations, don't you Be arrogant, the stewards in his house must know more than you, just learn it, don't get carried away by yourself and break the rules. Help when you should, otherwise they will borrow two stewards to do odd jobs I am also sorry. I have been avoiding it for a few days, and you can come back after my confinement period is over."

Mei Jue was also a sensible person, how could the Shui Rong mansion be short of managers, so short that they couldn't even hold a banquet?It's not here to pass the news.And it still needs to be at the "management" level, and the news you want to pass on has to be known to your cronies.He originally planned to turn a blind eye and close his eyes, but who knew that Lin Mo made it clear on his own, which opened his eyes wide.

"Your Excellency is laughing. These two came from Shandong with me. I also followed suit. It's just that the folk customs in Shandong are quite different from those in the capital. I'm afraid they will make some jokes, so I have to ask a few more words."

Mei Jue's heart was pounding too. Didn't the celebrity in front of the emperor really think that he was here to spy on him?Explain everything to him clearly.His job is easy and comfortable because of Master Lin's cooperation, but if he offends Master Lin...

Fortunately, he worried about it for a few days, but found that Lin Mo had no intention of this either.He really stayed at home for nine days.

And when his confinement period was about to expire, the so-called surrender gift from Bai Shiyue to Wu Lianshui, which had been worrying for a long time, finally arrived.

During that day, many things happened.First, Yu Bin used the mouth of the poet Wang Yuren to bombard the King of Qin, saying that he unjustly killed the court official and didn't even give him a chance to appeal for injustice.Although Wang Yuren is well-known and has written a few short poems that are widely circulated and sung melodiously by singing girls, it is really far-fetched to say that he will have such a big influence tomorrow.But now Tianjin is a place that everyone is watching to death.The three commander-in-chiefs hold the military power in their hands. Although Concubine Wei is highly respected, he is an admiral of nine sects. Still quickly handed over the men and horses in hand with Ma Shangshu, and returned to the capital to guard the city.Now every pair of eyes is fixed on Tianjin, people are listening to what Yu Bin and Wang Yong's family members say, let alone when Shui Fu personally invites Wang Yong to drink tea and talk about things?

Mei Jue had something hidden in her heart, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.He was pacing back and forth, thinking that the person in the room was a third-rank official, a favorite of the emperor, even if he stayed at home, he would see things farther than him. After thinking for a while, he decided to go in and ask for a cup of tea.

Lin Mo has nothing to do now, besides reading books every day, he also practice calligraphy.When Mei Jue entered, he had just finished writing a large page of characters, and he was drying the ink stains in the sultry, humid wind. Mei Jue was also a little puzzled by his leisurely appearance: "Your Majesty is very leisurely today." Lin Mo tilted his head The head: "I have been very leisurely these few days. There is a big incident in the court, I am not here to wait here, do I violate the emperor's order and go out to join in the fun?"

Mei Jue was startled: "Master Lin knows something happened?"

Lin Mo smiled at him.

Mei Jue also thought she was funny.Who doesn't know what's going on right now?It's just hiding it from ordinary people.Although Lin Mo has lived in peace these few days, he has witnessed this matter from the very beginning, and he has personally stood on the cusp of the storm.How naive and naive to think that Wu Minluan was just passing by, had a verbal argument with General Xuanwei, and the two teams had a conflict of ideas in a rage?This is really deceiving ghosts, ghosts don't believe it.

"Actually, adults don't need to ask me. Mo Zhenri is at home, what do you know? What can you hear? It's just a random guess. If you say it, I'm afraid it will disturb your judgment."

He spoke directly, and Mei Jue, a martial artist, also felt straightforward, but what should be asked was still to be asked: "Master Lin said that, because he really thinks that I will believe that the Beijing Palace does not have enough manpower to host a banquet for the two nobles." ?”

Lin Mo glanced at him appreciatively: "It's just a way to tell each other that they're safe. If you really want to spread the news, write a post, hide your head, or use a code word. If you want to hide it from the adults, there is always a way. .”

"The king of Beijing Jing doesn't go out very much these days, and even closes the door to thank guests, which is a change from the past." Mei Jue said suspiciously.

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Isn't he always like this?"

He is always on the fence, but when it comes to the critical moment, he just waits and sees. Naturally, he is in the right and left. He seems to be friends with everyone. If something happens, whoever gains power will be his master.Although everyone knew his virtues well, but seeing how busy he was, Mei Jue couldn't help feeling a little disappointed: "It really is the King of Beijing."

"He is willing to be honest and content, so why are you demanding too much? He is not the only one who thanked guests behind closed doors." Lin Mo couldn't help but defend others.

Mei Jue thought of the rumors about King Jing and Marquis Jingyuan in Beijing, and smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.

The killing sound came suddenly at this moment.

Mei Jue bounced up almost instantly, grabbed the saber and rushed out, feeling that the servants of the Lin family were well-trained and unhurried along the way.Several prominent girls gradually retreated to the inner courtyard. The guards and men in hardcover had no weapons in their hands, but they had prepared hoes and sticks. When they saw them, they were nervous at first, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Mo knew that someone would move his house!

Mei Jue's heart trembled, and the moment she stepped out the door, she felt as if her eyes were going to go blind.

Wu Lianshui once had a Yinjia army that swept across the mountains and rivers.The armor mask was not made of sterling silver, but it was shiny and dazzling, and indestructible, if not invulnerable, it was not far off.Wu Lianshui, who was in the Silver Armor Army, walked sideways even in naval battles.But later, because this army cost a lot and carried too much weight, the physical fitness requirements of soldiers were too high, so it gradually decreased or even disappeared.However, some people said that it was because the Silver Armored Army was too eye-catching that the old saint was not happy, so Wu Lianshui disbanded this most beloved and proudest trusted army.

But now, these people gathered at the entrance of the alley and even started to attack, no matter in terms of dress or formation, they are all Wu family's Yinjia army through and through!

Mei Jue couldn't help but feel a little rejoiced, since Ma Kejiang led people to guard outside Lin's house, people in the whole street were a little anxious and lived their lives behind closed doors.Of course, those who can live on the same street as Chaopinhou are not ordinary people, but there are quite a few people who set up stalls around here, all because they dare not come here. The elite of the Yulin army are not the gangsters guarding the granary under General Xuanwei. They are not afraid when they see the silver armor army. The formation is a bit loose.

"Assemble—" he shouted loudly, and rushed forward himself.

A silver spear suddenly shot out halfway, staggering him, but fortunately he was not a simple person, turned over and dodged with the long sword leaning on the ground, but the spear head followed, with an extremely sharp angle Sweeping directly towards his knees, that's all. Although the man's moves are amazing, his lower body is very stable, and he can tell at a glance that he has left behind.

Even though he was wearing a mask, Mei Jue would have been in vain all these years if he didn't know who he was with such marksmanship.

Bai Shiyue!It's really Bai Shiyue!

He actually came to kill his nephew who was taught by himself!

Rao Mei Jue, who had only met Lin Mo for a few days, was a little unbelievable, but what overwhelmed her later was that the country's enemies hated her own future.

"Brothers, kill me—" Haolai still remembers that this person has a special status, and his superiors have instructed that even if he is really rebellious, as long as he wants to hide it, he should not give it to him with his big tongue. It exploded, adding panic for no reason.However, after several battles, whether it was their own skills or the collision of the two teams, they all obviously lost their heads.

It would be great if Master Ma was still here.Mei Jue gritted her teeth. This was different from the raid on the granary a few days ago.Lin Mo didn't live in the wilderness, and the city patrol soldiers would arrive in a short while. To put it bluntly, he also had a trace of suspicion in his heart. Although he was guarding outside the Lin family these few days, he thought he could keep water from leaking, but from the opponent's Looking at it from a different perspective, with such a big fanfare, even sending one or two top experts to assassinate, the effect is almost the same. Why did Bai Shiyue choose this assassination method which is extremely easy to be destroyed by reinforcements?

"You are so brave. How dare you trespass into the mansion of Marquis Jingyuan in broad daylight!" Mei Jue was already beaten and rolled around in a mess when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, here we come." Bai Shiyue immediately put down Mei Jue, and pointed his spear at Ma Kejiang.

"Be careful, general!" Mei Jue shouted loudly, wanting to help him, but Bai Shi seemed to have eyes behind his back, and a "Yan Hui" swept him to the ground again, without delaying his meeting with Ma Kejiang From move to move, Qianghuazi writhed fiercely and treacherously, and wearing a silver armor did not prevent him from being agile and perverted. Even if Ma Kejiang and Mei Jue worked together, they could not stop him.

"We still didn't believe in his ability that day, and secretly thought that Master Jingyuanhou Tongrong let him go secretly. We were really ashamed!" Mei Jue was furious, and threw out a few sword flowers, wanting to rush forward again to make an opening , so that Ma Kejiang could take the opportunity to succeed, but before he got tight, there was a pain in the back of his neck, and then he didn't know anything.

"Xiaomei, Xiaomei, wake up." When Mei Jue woke up, he was blindfolded and dragged on the bullock cart. He didn't know how long he had been walking. He could only recognize Ma Kejiang by his voice, and his heart felt tense, " General Ma, Marquis Jingyuan—"

"I didn't do enough to protect the lord. It's okay for Marquis Jing Yuan, but the little general Lu who came to help was caught by this thief!" Ma Kejiang said angrily.

"what?!"

There is only one General Lu in this capital, and that is Lu Zhanyi, the younger brother of Princess Qin.Originally, the Lu family was also a famous general, but the descendants were not very up-to-date. Fortunately, the daughter married well.Concubine Qin's good birth is completely inherited from her parents. There are ten brothers, only the youngest Lu Zhanyi was raised by her when she was in her boudoir, so she is naturally different from others.Originally, this little general Lu was not capable of military proficiency, making troubles at home, so it would be fine to buy an official in the future.It's just that since King Qin decided to be the prince, General Lu couldn't say that the younger brother raised by Princess Qin was so unworthy.Hao Lai took the face of his old comrades in arms and got into the Fenwu Army, patrolling the city every day.

Unexpectedly, his luck was bad this time. He also wanted to fight for merit. He heard that a rebel army similar to the Silver Armored Army had appeared here. Bai Shiyue caught him straight, and Ma Kejiang was already chasing him hard. How could he tolerate this situation?He was even more determined to stop Bai Shiyue.But Bai Shiyue had more hostages in his hands, so he was still willing to deal with him. In the end, he didn't run away at all, and instead captured Ma Kejiang's group of people cleanly.

"Fighting with hundreds of people is just like children playing around. It changes at any time. You are also members of the Habayashi Army. Don't you read military books?" Hearing Bai Shiyue's mockery, Ma Kejiang couldn't wait. It's better to die immediately.

"Where is this place?" Mei Jue also realized.

"I don't know, I have to find a way to get out." Ma Kejiang also knew that the prince's brother-in-law wanted to save people, but was captured together with them. No matter how he saw it, life would not be easy. However, it is impossible not to go out. .

Just as he was thinking, the black cloth in front of him was torn apart suddenly, and when he saw the flames, his eyes were so painful that he could barely open his eyes. After finally getting used to it, he happened to meet Bai Shiyue's face.

"You thief—" He was about to scold, but was interrupted by Bai Shiyue with a sneer: "Is it useful? You don't know, His Royal Highness Qin Wang has been tied up by Wang Yong, and he is coaxing the people under him to play. , Wei’s son-in-law is not in Tianjin Wei. I want to know what’s going on in Tianjin. It’s not me who tied it up, why are you staring at me? Why don’t I tie it up? Didn’t anyone scold the king of Qin for being so happy about his meritorious deeds and killing loyal ministers unjustly?”

Mei Jue cursed in a hoarse voice: "Bai Shiyue, you must die!"

He once admired this general Bai very much, even more than he admired the god of war Wu Lianshui.I just feel that although he is unrestrained and regards rules as nothing, a man should behave like this, act recklessly, and he is worthy of the heaven and the earth.But now?He was splashed with a basin of feces on his head.

"Hehe. How old are you? Swear a few words, make your mouth hurt, are you so happy?" Bai Shiyue patted his head, "Can you survive before I die?" He stood up, He said to the silver armored army beside him, "Let's go."

"General, the road ahead is narrow, and this bullock cart may not be able to pass."

"Well, let them go down, a bunch of dead people, do you want us to carry them in?"

"Yes." The Silver Armored Army replied.

Mei Jue was gritting her teeth with hatred, when she suddenly felt her hands loosen, as if the knots were a little different after getting off the bullock cart.

It's a slipknot.

He glanced at Ma Kejiang in surprise.Ma Kejiang gave him a calm look.The two looked at Bai Shiyue together, but Bai Shiyue spread out his hands calmly: "Okay, enough beating, let's cover their eyes, do you want to cover mine too?"

But the Silver Armored Army said: "Offended."
