He turned the envelope over and over several times, but it was empty, and he didn't know who wrote it. He hurriedly opened the letter and smelled a faint fragrance. He was a dog by nature, and after sniffing it for a few times, he smelled some rose perfume.
There were only a few lines on the white paper, with neither a letter nor a signature. When he glanced at it, he saw a few lines of beautiful small characters: "You have been away from home for a long time, and there has been no news. My sister was anxious and asked me several times. Ask me to write some letters to you. She has a childish nature and has too many worries. She asks you to eat meat when you are hungry, put on more clothes when you are cold, not to drink raw or cold food, not to go near strangers, to quarrel with others, or to provoke young women! Everything at home is fine. , you can rest assured to help Mr. Xu, and miss your home. When you are out, your safety comes first, do not be impulsive, think twice before acting cautiously, and do not seek prosperity, but a safe return. If this letter comes to you, you will write The words come back so that Yushuang can put her mind down and just say a few words. Don't write too much and make me upset. The above instructions are all Yushuang's words and deeds and have nothing to do with me. If you have her in your heart, you must love yourself and come back as soon as possible. . If you forget each other, I will become a ghost and won't spare you! Remember!"
Lin Wanrong read the letter back and forth several times. The content of the letter was strange, it seemed to be caring and yet angry, making people confused. But one thing is clear. This letter was written by the eldest lady. It was really unexpected. I don't know how she delivered it to Xu Wei. No wonder the old man Xu said it was a "letter from home".
This letter was written in a strange way, but it fit the temperament of the eldest lady. Lin Wanrong seemed to see Xiao Yuruo frowning under the lamp and groaning angrily. He knew without thinking that this girl must be deeply dissatisfied with him. After getting along with the eldest lady for a long time, he really had some feelings for her. After not seeing her for a few days, he missed her so much that he felt deeply in his heart. He found a letter and took out a pencil. Without thinking, I wrote a few lines: "Eldest Miss. I miss you; Second Miss. I miss you; Madam, I miss you too."
This letter indeed complied with the eldest lady's wishes. It was concise and shocking, with a clear theme. He was troubled by his lust. I didn't bother to write anymore and packed the envelope. He called a soldier who was waiting outside the tent and asked him to hand it over to the commander and send him to Xiao's house in Jinling.
After writing this letter, he was already feeling sleepy, yawned a few times and lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, the military drill bugle sounded, and Lin Wanrong woke up in panic. Recalling what he had done yesterday, cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly called the soldier who had sent the order yesterday: "Quick, hurry up, Commander-in-Chief." Report in the account. Get back my letter from yesterday."
The messenger returned in a moment, clasped his fists and said, "General, the Marshal sent a horse six hundred miles yesterday to deliver the letter to Jinling. At this time, it is no longer possible to recover."
On my day, Lin Wanrong suddenly jumped up. This old Xu, who is not very active in other things, is so diligent in delivering letters. Isn't this harming me? Recalling the content of yesterday's letter, he felt very regretful and didn't know. What kind of excitement did you have to write such strange things? It's just that I miss the second lady. I miss the eldest lady, and I also miss the madam. What the hell is going on? The eldest lady can't read this letter, and the second lady can't read it. , Madam can't even see what will happen if it falls into their hands, and I don't know if I will be skinned by them after I go back.
Just as he was thinking helplessly, he saw the high chief coming in from outside and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, did you sleep well last night?"
"Don't mention it. I slept well originally, but I did something stupid and now I regret it." Lin Wanrong said with a bitter smile.
The high chief shook his head with great disbelief and said: "Brother Lin, you are so smart and quick-witted that you will never do anything stupid. You must be too modest."
Confused or not, he will know it later. Lin Wanrong sighed and said, "Brother Gao, have you ever had a woman you like?"
"The woman you like?" the high chief asked curiously: "What do you want with that thing? Oh, brother Lin, do you miss your wife? That's easy to say. I will go out to camp with you tomorrow to visit the nearby brothels. Once you visit, you will have no worries at all."
Lin Wanrong secretly sweated and said hurriedly: "Brother Gao, how can this girl from the brothel compare with the woman of your choice?"
The high chief nodded and said, "That's true. It takes a lot of time and effort to find the girl you like. How can I be as free and happy as Sister Yao? I still like Sister Yao."
There really was no common language. Look, it was getting late. Xu Wei should have raised his tent. He hurriedly put on his armor, but saw Hu Bugui, Li Sheng, and Du Xiuyuan wearing brand new armor, majestic. He walked in, gave him a fist and said, "See General——"
Lin Wanrong hugged his fists and said, "Good morning, three Qianhu adults!" These three people were newly promoted to Qianhu, their faces were full of joy, and they came early in the morning to pay their respects to General Lin.
Hu Bugui's face turned red and he said, "Thank you, General, for your cultivation. We will follow you to the death!"
"Follow the general to the death!" Du Xiuyuan and Li Sheng also clasped their fists together, with extremely determined expressions on their faces.
Lin Wanrong knew that he would not stay in the army for a long time, but he had a deep relationship with these hundreds of soldiers and could not let go for a while. He just smiled and said: "Three thousand households, how does it feel to be promoted?"
Du Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said: "If there is no general's guidance, even if you are promoted to ten thousand households, it will be boring."
Seeing the sincere words of these people, Lin Wanrong didn't know what to say, so he declined and said that the commander-in-chief would raise his account, and left with the high chief. Xu Wei's commanding tent was in the middle of the camp. When Lin Wanrong entered, everyone was already standing there. The discipline in the army was strict. Everyone nodded when they saw Lin Wanrong, but no one dared to speak.
Lin Wanrong was just a staff general with no position or rank. He didn't know where to stand when he entered the commander's camp, so he had to stay at the bottom of the army. The high chief was his bodyguard, and he stood behind him without caring about the public's attention. All the generals were surprised to see that the staff general came into the tent to discuss matters and even brought guards with him. However, when they saw the commander smiling and saying nothing, no one dared to speak.
Seeing everyone gathered, Xu Wei nodded and said loudly: "Is there any big news for you guys?"
The commander of the cavalry camp, Tong Cheng, suddenly stepped forward and said: "Commander, my cavalry camp deputy general Zhai Canghai was ordered by the general to rescue General Lin and his party. When he came back yesterday, his legs were maimed and his mouth and tongue were beaten to pieces. , please let the commander in chief make the decision."
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Xu Wei narrowed his eyes and said, "Zhai Canghai is the deputy general of the cavalry camp, commanding five thousand troops. Who dares to beat him? Don't you want to live?"
Lin Wanrong stepped out of the queue and clasped his fists and said: "Report to the commander-in-chief that this is what I did."
"Excuse me, General Lin. General Zhai was ordered to rescue you. Why did you order him to be beaten like this? Even though you are the staff general, what right do you have to punish my deputy general of the cavalry camp?" Tong Cheng said angrily.
Damn it, everyone knows the whole story. Could it be that the person named Zhai is your brother-in-law, and you want to defend him like this? Lin Wanrong snorted and said: "Every tree has roots, and everything has its origin. I, Lin, am doing the right thing." , stand upright, no one can wrong me. The deputy general of the cavalry battalion, Zhai Canghai, arrived late to rescue our army, so that's it, but when he faced my officers and soldiers who fought bloody battles, he uttered filthy words and insulted me for being killed in battle. Soldiers, such evil deeds are outraged by both humans and gods, and chill the hearts of our soldiers. I broke his legs, but I still gave him an advantage."
Lin Wanrong recounted the experience the night before. Finally, he said: "This matter has been testified by the lieutenants of our army, and the officers and soldiers of the cavalry camp have also witnessed it with their own eyes. I would like to ask you generals, if you were me, what would you do?"
All the generals in the tent were the ones leading troops, and they had already scolded Zhai Canghai when they heard his words and deeds. Zuo Zongyou, the vanguard general on the left, opened his mouth and cursed: "You deserve it. I have long been disgusted with this Zhai Canghai. He behaves so arrogantly just because he is a disciple of the Iron Minister, and dares to insult our fallen soldiers. I should have killed him with a knife." Brother Lin, what you did is the right thing to do, which is very satisfying."
Xu Wei said expressionlessly: "Tong Cheng, is Lin San making false claims?"
Tong Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "Even if General Zhai is wrong, how can Lin San, a small staff general, deal with my deputy general of the cavalry camp? Please ask the commander to strictly observe military discipline."
Xu Wei nodded and said: "Strict military discipline? What General Tong said is exactly what I want. Zhai Canghai insulted the fallen soldiers and chilled the hearts of the three armies. He should be killed as a rule. But since he is disabled, I will spare his life and kill him." He will be removed from his post as deputy general and sent back to the countryside."
This old Xu is quite fair. Lin Wanrong nodded, but then Xu Wei said again: "Commander General Lin San, Tan Tan is automatically punished, and he should be held responsible. The rod punishment is inevitable."
Lin Wanrong suddenly jumped up. My God, Lao Xu, if you want to spank me, I will turn around and leave. I can't afford to embarrass that person.
Xu Wei smiled slightly and said: "But Zhai Canghai was at fault in this matter. Lin San took action in anger to protect the morale of the army. It is understandable. The day before yesterday, he led his army to fight Bailian's nearly a thousand elites alone, and killed Mengdu. It was me. He is the first in the army for military exploits. Each merit is equal to the fault, so I will neither reward nor punish him. What do you generals think?"
"The commander is wise and enforces the law like a mountain!" the generals clasped their fists together. General Lin resisted the enemy's elite and furiously killed the first warrior. This was an unparalleled feat. Breaking the legs of a lieutenant who was spitting shit was nothing. Although the merits and demerits were equal, everyone with a discerning eye knew that this feat was far-reaching. If it's far greater than what's wrong, there will naturally be people who feel sorry for him.
Xu Wei smiled and said: "Lin San, do you have any objections?"
"Shuai Xu is wise, powerful, upright and upright. The young general admires him very much." Lin Wanrong said.
"Don't say it's easy. You broke someone's leg. There are five thousand people in the cavalry without a leader. How can such a thing happen?" Xu Wei slapped Tang Mu and said loudly: "Lin San, listen to the order!"
"The young general is here!"
"You beat the deputy general of the cavalry camp and left thousands of troops without a pure leader. This is your fault. I will punish you to take the five thousand fine cavalry, and then integrate your original troops and deploy the five thousand infantry camp and the Shenji camp. The soldiers belong to you. I order you to lead these 10,000 elite soldiers as my right wing vanguard and march directly to Jining. Are you willing?"
"This -" Ten thousand troops? Right wing vanguard? General Lin was stunned.
