"I know my body. It won't last long. It has been three days and two nights since you took me away. Before the emperor begins to suspect me, kill me as soon as possible."

"With your ability, it's not difficult to rescue your sister. If you still have some conscience, you can throw my body in front of the Hou's mansion, so that the emperor will know that I, Lin Dao, was killed by someone, not as a rebellious minister. The thief defected to another country, so that he would not be provoked by the courtiers who have enemies with me, and the whole family of the Hou Mansion would be ransacked and wiped out..."

"Your Majesty! Grassroots people deserve death!" Li Jinjiang listened to Lin Dao calmly arranging his own funeral, and felt a pang of regret in his heart. He couldn't help letting go of the self-important pride of Jianghu people, and knelt on the ground with a plop, deeply bowing down. head to go.

Ever since he met Lin Dao, Li Jinjiang's impression of him has been changing. The general in front of him who is willing to die for the public is obviously very different from the rumored image of licentiousness and mediocrity.What's more, is the person my sister desperately wants to protect, really as unbearable as the rumors say?

Li Jinjiang realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something and had done something irreparable.He struggled in his heart, and firmly promised: "Master Hou, no matter whether my sister can be rescued or not, the grass people will definitely send Master Hou back to the Hou Mansion safely!"

As for whether Lin Dao will send a large number of people to chase and kill him after he recovers, Li Jinjiang can't care about it at this time. In the worst case, he will take his sister to live in seclusion in the mountains and never come out for a lifetime. If he wants to kill Lin Dao, Li Jinjiang can't do anything anyway. .

After Li Jinjiang said this, the person on the bed didn't respond for a long time. He was startled, and quickly looked up, but saw that Lin Dao had already passed out from exhaustion, and he probably didn't hear a word of what he said just now.

Looking at Lin Dao's haggard and pale face, Li Jinjiang couldn't help feeling a burning pain in his heart.

******

On the other hand, the kidnapping of Marquis Taiping has caused quite a stir in the court.Li Jinjiang was only one person, but he was able to rob Lin Dao, who was also not weak in martial arts, under the heavy siege of Taiping Hou's personal guards, and the two disappeared like mud cows into the sea as soon as they left the Hou's mansion, which made Lin Dao very disliked Civil and military ministers are even more conspiracy theories.

Some people said that Hou Taiping's deliberate lust was just to lull the emperor and hide Chen Cang. As for the assassination, it was even nonsense.

It was also said that Lin Dao had long been ambitious of a wolf, and that the assassin was just an insider for Lin Dao to collude with the barbarians. Lin Dao took advantage of this assassination incident to connect with the barbarians, and this person might be about to abscond and leave the country.Lin Dao is well aware of my Dacheng military plan, His Majesty should send troops to intercept and kill this officer as soon as possible.

Gao Sheng, the supervisory censor, stood in the court hall without saying a word. Hearing the increasingly vicious speculations of the ministers, he felt very sad for Lin Dao: Marquis Taiping was taken away by the gangsters, and his life and death are still unknown. All his subordinates are also under strict surveillance. When they went out to rescue their own Lord Hou, these people didn't want to save others, but they only cared about accusing Lin Daoluo by making things worse.

Thinking of this, Gao Sheng sighed secretly, and went out to salute the emperor on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to find out the whereabouts of Marquis Taiping. As for Marquis Lin, whether he has colluded with the barbarians, or has ulterior motives in his heart?" Harm the country, you can wait for Lord Hou to come back and then investigate it slowly!"

The emperor didn't take the conjectures of the ministers seriously at all, and was also very dissatisfied with the progress of the Wucheng Bingmasi's work. Finally, a sensible person said something useful, and immediately refuted everyone's small thoughts with Gao Sheng's words went back.

The next day, Li Jinjiang finally contacted people from the imperial court and asked for a hostage exchange.The location Li Jinjiang chose was the mountain he was on. There was only one narrow mountain road to go up and down, and he had already figured out the way to retreat.Such a treacherous terrain is like walking on flat ground to Li Jinjiang, but it is very unfriendly to the imperial army.

Although all the ministers complained about Lin Dao in court, when it came time to exchange hostages, they were still unanimously in favor of it—Lin Dao was an important minister of the court after all, and it was unreasonable to abandon him when he could save someone.

When exchanging hostages, after confirming the identity of his sister, Li Jinjiang did not bring Lin Dao out in a proper manner. Instead, he hung Lin Dao above a deep pool, and then flew over to snatch her by force.Seeing this scene, everyone immediately tried to stop them, but Li Jinjiang threw a hidden weapon and cut the rope hanging the hostages.

Seeing that Lin Dao fell into the water, the crowd didn't bother to stop Li Jinjiang, they rushed to the edge of the pool one after another, jumped into the water one after another, Li Jinjiang took the opportunity to rob his sister and left.When Jin Shu was brought, his hands and feet were tied tightly, which happened to be convenient for Li Jinjiang to rob people.

When everyone finally fished out the "Marquis of Taiping" who had sunk to the bottom of the water, Li Jinjiang had disappeared without a trace, and it was hard to find him.

******

"Slap!" Li Jinjiang had just untied Jin Shu, before he had time to ask for his warmth, his sister unceremoniously slapped him across the face.A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he stared down at his toes without saying a word.

Jin Shu looked at his younger brother who looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, and trembled with anger: "You bastard! How dare you do this to Master Hou?"

"Sister, I didn't really throw people into the water, the one hanging from the tree is a dummy!" Li Jinjiang quickly explained when he saw his sister was so angry.

Lin Dao was already sick like that, how could Li Jinjiang throw him into the water, it would have killed him, he hid the real Lin Dao in the woods by the pool, as long as those officers and soldiers are not fools, a little searching will be enough can find him.

After listening to Li Jinjiang's explanation, Jin Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Jin Shu didn't know what his younger brother did to Lin Dao, and thought that Lin Dao had nothing to do. If she knew the truth of the matter, she might not be able to do what she is doing now So peaceful.

At this time, Li Jinjiang was also very curious about the relationship between Lin Dao and his sister, and quickly asked her about the inside story.

Jin Shu looked at his younger brother with a disturbed expression, and sighed a long time. Now that Lin Dao had returned to the Hou Mansion, she was fine, and she had no intention of arguing with her younger brother, so she told him the story in a heavy tone. experience over time.

Listening to his sister's words, Li Jinjiang's eyes almost popped out of his sockets. The truth of the matter was beyond his expectation, it was unbelievable.But thinking of the time he spent with Lin Dao these days, Li Jinjiang felt that there was nothing strange about him being able to do such a thing.

It's ironic that the rumored romantic general who sits on a vegetarian diet has such a generous and tolerant temperament, while the rumored good minister who kept himself aloof did all kinds of things to frame Zhongliang.Li Jinjiang is used to seeing high-ranking officials who don't behave in a dignified manner, how could he have imagined that this notorious general is actually such a gentleman?

Looking at his sister who was crying like rain in front of him, Li Jinjiang suddenly felt sour, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in: such an upright man is my sister's man, who saved her from that hell He is a hero, but not only did he seriously injure him, but he also gave him...

Li Jinjiang also couldn't tell where the loss and sense of loss in his heart came from, seeing Jin Shu's deep-rooted love, he couldn't help asking: "Sister, could it be that you have been sincerely moved by Master Hou?"

After hearing this, Jin Shu sighed melancholy and said, "Master Hou has never disdained women like us who have lost their innocence, and has always taken good care of us. With such a man, which sister in the Hou's mansion can not be tempted? It's just... …With such a filthy identity like ours, it is already a blessing for three lives to get a name, and who would dare to really blaspheme him?"

Li Jinjiang heard her sister's implication, and suddenly there was a burst of unreasonable ecstasy in his heart: Lin Dao actually never had a husband and wife with his sister, but only gave her the title of wife to protect her, so he...

Thinking of the hatred and fear in Lin Dao's eyes in the ruined temple that day, Li Jinjiang could only feel a bucket of cold water being poured on his head, and the chuckle that the previous idea was not humane was suddenly mercilessly extinguished: the current Lin Dao might have the intention of killing him, how could he still have the chance to get close to him?

******

Just when Li Jinjiang was so remorseful that he wished to kill himself, in a bedroom in the Taipinghou Mansion, a group of people were surrounding Lin Dao, who was sleeping on the bed, anxiously waiting for the result.

After a while, the old doctor with white beard and hair had just finished his diagnosis, and the emperor sitting next to him with numb legs rushed forward and asked, "What's wrong with Marquis Lin?"

The old doctor bowed to the emperor, and then he thought about it and replied: "Your Majesty, Lord Hou was beaten severely when he was hijacked by the gangsters, and his internal organs were damaged, but he can still heal, it's just..."

"Just what?" Seeing the embarrassment on the imperial physician's face, the emperor was furious, and reprimanded sharply: "What are you doing hesitating? Could it be that there is something wrong with Marquis Taiping?"

The old doctor shrank his neck from the emperor's yelling, and looked at the civil and military ministers who were staring at him. The old doctor, who was very considerate of the patient, boldly said: "It's about the secret of the Marquis, please let your majesty speak..."

The emperor was very impatient with the old imperial doctor's mysterious attitude, but seeing that he was so serious, he still patiently motioned him to come closer and said, so the old imperial doctor said such and such in the emperor's ear.The emperor was very surprised at first, but when he heard the end, the look in Lin Dao's eyes was so complicated that he couldn't describe it.

"Okay, all the lovers, go back and rest!" The emperor met everyone's curious gazes, without any intention of sharing any secrets, and simply waved his hands away.Although everyone was very reluctant, they still got up and left the Hou Mansion.The emperor called the imperial physician to order them to take care of Lord Hou, and then he also returned to the palace.

The servant Zeng Qin who was serving at the side found strangely that the emperor was in a much better mood after returning from the Hou Mansion, and even ate half a bowl of rice for dinner.But even though he was full of doubts, Zeng Qin didn't dare to ask the emperor why he was so happy.

What Zeng Qin didn't know was that Li Jinjiang's violence against Lin Dao miraculously made the emperor dispel his doubts about Lin Dao.Originally Lin Dao came back alive and the emperor couldn't believe it... But in order to clear up the suspicion and make such a big sacrifice, at least the emperor thought that he couldn't do it anyway - just thinking about this kind of thing is enough to make people collapse, okay? ?

But that Li Jinjiang... was able to come and go freely in the heavily guarded Hou's mansion, rescued the hostages from thousands of troops and escaped unscathed, this terrifying strength is really daunting.The emperor shuddered when he thought of the man's ghostly skills, so he immediately ordered to intensify the search efforts, digging three feet into the ground to arrest Li Jinjiang and bring him to justice.
