"Brother, big brother??" Qiaoqiao hurriedly walked out from behind the curtain and called out in a sweet voice. But Lin Wanrong was in a hurry and had already taken Guo Wuchang out of the cabin without even hearing her cry.
"Sister Ning, what should we do? The eldest brother didn't know what emergency he encountered, so he hurried out. The things here haven't been explained yet." Qiao Qiao walked back into the room and glanced at Luo Ning secretly.
Luo Ning seemed to have not heard her words, her expression was dazed, her face turned pale, and she didn't know what she was thinking. The maid hurriedly came back, handed the handwriting that Lin Wanrong had written before leaving into Luo Ning's hand and said, "Miss, this is what Mr. Lin left behind."
Luo Ning hurriedly took the note and took a look, only to see that the handwriting was flying and powerful, and she had just finished two sentences of a small poem: "The hibiscus tent is covered with brocade, and the wings are flying and singing in the jade dew..."
Luo Ning gritted her teeth tightly, her eyes turned red, she mentioned the small regular script, and added two sentences after those two sentences: "?? The spring of the Yaochi of Humanity is like the sea, and a pair of red elephants fly down under the bright moon."
This poem about hibiscus tent and mandarin duck handkerchief was completed. Luo Ning threw away her regular script, glanced at the poem, and suddenly fell on the table and burst into tears...
Everyone in the main hall saw Miss Luo bringing two things out. They all saw that Miss Luo had a soft spot for Lin San. They were thinking of putting on a show of praise for a talented man and a beautiful lady, but they didn't know that Lin San, who had just won the first prize, actually It was really shocking to abandon Miss Luo and leave in such a violent manner. For a while, everyone was talking about it, wondering what happened.
Luo Min stood up, laughed and said: "Don't be surprised. Everyone must have seen my little girl's attitude towards Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin had something urgent to deal with at home, so he left in such a hurry. It is understandable. I will come tomorrow. The results of this matter will be reported to all the elders in my hometown. Now that the poetry competition has been completed, and it is the beginning of the lanterns, today we will drink wine on the Qintan River. We will not return until we are drunk. My little prince, Mr. Cheng , Sirs, please give me some face."
When everyone saw the Governor coming out to explain in person, and thinking that it was true, they all relaxed. Anyway, today's fun has been finished, and all that's left is to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Qintan. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the cabin became lively again. got up. Zhao Kangning and Cheng De glanced at each other. The two also sat down.
Lin Wanrong hurriedly walked out of the cabin. His young master followed him and said anxiously: "Lin San, something happened to my aunt and cousin Yuruo. What should I do?"
Lin Wanrong said: "Master, please don't worry, tell me the details."
Young Master Biao nodded and said: "Today's poetry competition, Mr. Luo and Mr. Fuyin specially sent invitations. All the famous families in Jinling received the invitations, and our Xiao family is no exception. Because there are some competitions, I came early Out the door. My aunt and cousin said they would arrive later. But after waiting for such a long time, no one was seen. I was wondering in my heart, but just now someone came to report that someone had found my cousin and aunt in the city. In the carriage they were riding in, they disappeared without a trace. From the looks of it, they were probably kidnapped. Lin San, what should we do? You must find a way to save your cousin and aunt??"
Lin Wanrong was very angry after hearing this, damn it. What the hell is this? I've only been away from home for a few days, and these two people were robbed. Not only the eldest lady was robbed, but the wife was also taken away. Once these two people left, the Xiao family would fall apart. Why does this person have a grudge against the Xiao family?
"When the eldest lady and madam went out, didn't they take a servant with them?" Lin Wanrong asked.
"We took Xiao Feng and Xiao Cui with us, but they were knocked unconscious and couldn't remember anything after they woke up. Lin San, who do you think has a grudge against us? Acting so viciously?"
Knocked out? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment. If someone was seeking revenge, like the White Lotus Sect, they would definitely kill everyone on sight and leave no one alive. However, this gangster knocked Xiao Feng and Xiao Feng unconscious. What was their intention? He originally thought that it was Zhao Kangning and Cheng De who did it, but with Xu Wei's personality, his calculations must be thorough. Cheng De and others must have been secretly monitored by Xu Wei, and he would not give them such a chance. In this case, where is the thief doing evil?
The two of them talked for a while on the bow of the boat. The boat was originally in the Qintan River, and the surrounding flower boats had already gone away. After waiting for a long time, they didn't even see a ferry boat.
Lin Wanrong thought of his encounter with Du Xiuyuan and Hu Bugui during the day, and suddenly realized, oh, these two old foxes Xu Wei and Luo Min are probably going to attack Cheng De, and tonight. At present, the water surface of Qintan River is probably blocked long ago.
Thinking of this, I became more and more anxious. Damn it, if I can't get out of Qintan River, where can I find the eldest lady? Two weak women, born like flowers and jade, fell into the hands of thieves. If they still can't find them after tonight, all the day lilies will be cold. Xiao Yuruo is the same girl. She makes trouble for no reason. If we meet again, I will definitely give her a good spanking to make her remember.
"Ship, boat, Lin San, a boat is coming." Young Master Biao suddenly pointed in the distance and shouted.
Lin Wanrong hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger. It was already the beginning of the lights, the water was foggy, and a small wooden boat rowed in the distance. The two people on the boat were waving to Lin Wanrong.
"Brother Hu, Brother Du..." Lin Wanrong shouted happily when he saw the two shadows.
Hu Bugui and the other two sped up their rowing boat, and soon reached the foot of the boat. Before the wooden boat could stop, Lin Wanrong jumped out and landed in the middle of the boat. Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan each supported one of his arms and shouted, "General Lin, you miss us so much."
Lin Wanrong said excitedly: "Two eldest brothers, I miss you too. Where are the brothers? How are you, brothers?"
Hu Bugui laughed and said: "They are very good. They are hiding around here. They are going to do something big tonight."
As expected, Lin Wanrong nodded secretly. Now that he was no longer in the army, Hu Bugui even told such secrets. This friendship and trust between life and death was by no means comparable to others.
Du Xiuyuan said with tears in his eyes: "General Lin, on that day that bastard Tong Cheng fired a cannon from behind. All the brothers thought you (you?) Later, I had more than 10,000 brothers in the right army. They went to look for that Tong Cheng desperately. If Marshal Xu hadn't stopped him, We have already chopped up that Tong man and fed him to the bastard."
Hu Bugui said: "So what if I didn't chop him? I sent Xu Zhen to ambush on the road. I shot through his head with just one arrow, so this bastard is considered an advantage."
Lin Wanrong hugged their arms and said gratefully: "Thank you two brothers, Lin is grateful."
"General Lin, how did you escape among the thousands of artillery fire that day? When we saw the fierce artillery fire, we all thought you..." Du Xiuyuan sighed.
"Ah??" Hu Bugui interrupted him and said, "General Lin is blessed with great fortune and will not be harmed by traitors so easily. I, Old Hu, have known about it for a long time. How about that? You're not bragging."
Lin Wanrong sighed and said: "The experience here is complicated and difficult to describe in one sentence. Let's talk about it with the two eldest brothers in the future."
Hu Bugui nodded and said: "That's right. The days are long. General Lin, Marshal Xu and the brothers are waiting for you. Let's go see him quickly."
Lin Wanrong nodded, took Guo Wuchang on the boat, and Hu Bugui paddled. The boat went straight forward. When we got to the shore, we saw the lights on the shore were bright, and the swords and guns were bright. It was actually Xu Wei who personally greeted him with thousands of troops.
"Brother Lin, I see you again!" Before landing, Xu Wei's voice came from a distance. This is the first time that Young Master Biao has seen Xu Wenchang, a model for scholars in the world. His hands are shaking slightly and his legs are trembling.
Lin Wanrong cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Xu is worried."
The boat had reached the shore, and several people jumped off the boat. Xu Wei took Lin Wanrong's hand and said, "It's not because I'm worried, but I would like to sincerely thank you, Brother Lin. Brother Lin took the greatest credit for this battle of the White Lotus Sect. This is what everyone knows." We all know that these thousands of households you promoted are also loyal and good generals with meritorious service and ability. You have made great contributions and cultivated people, how can I not thank you?"
Lin Wanrong said haha, this old man thinks very highly of me, but just saying a few nice words is of no use, it would be better to give some money as a reward.
Xu Wei looked at him up and down for a long time and then said: "Brother Lin, among the thousands of shots fired that day, you were not harmed at all. If my little brother is injured in any way due to the fault of the old man, the old man will never be able to live in peace for the rest of his life."
"Well, I don't have any injuries. I'm just dizzy from being shocked by the cannon. I can't sleep at night and have nightmares. Sometimes I vomit some blood, but the rest is normal. The doctor said that if you use more good tonics, you will be able to maintain your health. Thirty years or so is about right."
Xu Wei listened to his nonsense and didn't care. He smiled slightly and said: "Brother Lin worked hard for our country, risking his own life to fight against the enemy Chief White Lotus Virgin and kill him in the fire. Such a spirit. Your courage is really a role model for our officers and soldiers. I will definitely report it to the emperor and give him a generous reward."
This old man was deliberately making fun of me. Even though Lin Wanrong was extremely thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel a little hot. However, since Xu Wei pretended not to know the truth, he was also happy and confused. He laughed twice and said: "Master Xu, are you ready to take action today?"
"That's right. I have been in Jiangnan for some time, and there are many things to be done in Beijing. This matter in Jiangsu is the last battle of my trip to Jiangnan. Once it is done, I will go back to Beijing to report to the emperor." Xu Wei looked at it. He glanced at Lin Wanrong and said, "Brother Lin, if it were you in your place tonight, how would you handle it?"
Damn it, you are an expert at playing politics, and yet you came to ask me, didn't you mean to make fun of me? Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "My little brother is not good at this kind of thing. Mr. Xu should be the best at it. It's nothing more than showing evidence of guilt and being ruthless. Mr. Xu must have already arranged it. Why do you need me to point fingers from the side?" "
Xu Wei nodded and sighed: "Brother Dong is a naturally smart person. Knowing the evidence of crime and being ruthless is the key to political strife. Many people have been around for a lifetime but have not yet grasped the key. Little brother just said it clearly. If you do it for Officer, I'm afraid no one in the world can be your opponent."
Too lazy to listen to his lies, Lin Wanrong said: "Xiao Ke will be waiting for Mr. Xu's good news about tonight's matter. Oh, one more thing. Since Mr. wants to take action, he must have already started to monitor Cheng De and others. I wonder if they will do anything today. Abnormal, have you kidnapped anyone?"
Xu Wei slowly shook his head: "I am indeed secretly monitoring Cheng De and his subordinates, but I haven't seen any changes from him today. What's wrong? Why does Brother Lin ask this?"
Lin Wanrong told Xu Wei about the kidnapping of Mrs. Xiao and the eldest lady. Xu Wei was shocked and said: "Who is so bold about such a thing? Even Miss Guo dared to kidnap her? Aren't you afraid of killing the nine tribes?"
He kidnapped Mrs. Xiao and wanted to kill the nine tribes? Just kidding! Lin Wanrong shook his head, and after a quick calculation, those who had a grudge against the Xiao family were nothing more than two factions. One is Xiaowang Ning and others who have repeatedly attempted to coerce them, and the other is the White Lotus Sect. Zhao Kangning, Cheng De and others were naturally unable to play any tricks under Xu Wei's nose. The other faction, the White Lotus Sect, had long since been wiped out, leaving only two "remnant parties".
The remaining party? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the robberies of the eldest lady and her daughter, and suddenly realized something in her heart, and said loudly: "Mr. Xu, please prepare a fast horse for me??"
Xu Wei saw that he looked anxious and seemed to have gained something, so he did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly ordered loudly: "Prepare a fast horse for General Lin. Hu Bugui, I want you to lead a thousand fine cavalry and obey General Lin's command. You must Rescue Mrs. Xiao intact."
Lin Wanrong could no longer listen to so many of his arrangements. As soon as the fast horse arrived, he didn't even care about Guo Wuchang. He got on the horse and the driver gave a loud shout. With a whip, he shot towards the Xuanwu Lake like an arrow from the string. Go straight for it.
Hu Bugui led a thousand fine cavalry and followed closely behind him. The sound of horse hooves broke the silence of Jinling City.
When he arrived at Xuanwu Lake, Lin Wanrong got off his horse and saw a vast mist on the lake, with no sight of the cruise ship.
"Xian'er, Xian'er??," Lin Wanrong shouted to the lake.
The water birds perched in the bushes fluttered their wings and flew up. The lake became even more empty and quiet, and Xian'er's boat was hidden somewhere.
"General Lin??" Hu Bugui led a thousand cavalry and rushed over. He hurriedly dismounted his horse and said loudly: "I will obey the general's orders."
Lin Wanrong waved his hand and said: "Brother Hu, you lead the brothers to row a boat to find a painting boat in Xuanwu Lake. If there is anyone on the boat, say..."
Before he finished speaking, Hu Bugui pointed to the lake and said, "General, is it this one?"
Lin Wanrong looked up and saw a huge painting boat slowly approaching the lake. Standing on the bow was a woman with picturesque features, looking at the shore and smiling.
