"Has the road been paved? How to pave it?" Lin Wanrong asked puzzledly.
An Biru rolled her eyes at him and chuckled: "I would say you are smart, but sometimes you are so confused. If it weren't for you, what would I be doing in public today?"
Lin Wanrong chuckled and glanced at her maliciously: "Sister, you are referring to the matter between you and Prince Cheng, right? Hey, isn't he your best friend? Why does it involve paving the way for me?"
An Biru smiled sweetly, gave him a wink, and said angrily: "Yes, he is my best friend, haha, little brother, are you jealous?"
It's not necessarily jealous, but it's true that he feels a little uncomfortable. When he sees a ripe peach being picked by an old monkey, if he doesn't have some angry thoughts, is he still a man?
An Biru seemed to have understood his thoughts, a beautiful cloud of clouds flew up on her face, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she smiled and said: "Gee, I'm really jealous. Little brother, don't worry, this King Cheng is treating me Although there are many people who covet you, I, An Biru, have been in business for many years and have seen more men than you. How can I let others take advantage of me so easily? Besides, most men in this world are unkind and unjust. , who is worthy of being my best friend?"
Her expression was full of pride, and she didn't take the men in the world into consideration at all. But having said that, with her beauty, knowledge and temperament, there are really not many men in the world who can match her.
Lin Wanrong chuckled. Although there are pheasants matching wolves in this world, there are also many good flowers inserted into cow dung. If you think of yourself as superior to others, you will naturally not be able to find a good husband.
"Little brother, you formed a quarrel with King Cheng in Taoyuan today. Those who are interested will naturally see it. Besides, you have made your first contribution in annihilating the White Lotus Sect -" An Biru's beautiful eyes glanced at Lin Wanrong frivolously. A trace of resentment flashed in his eyes: "You are both capable and not afraid of the powerful. You will definitely be more valued by Xu Wei and others. Your opportunity is coming soon. The closer you get to the imperial court, the closer you will be to my senior sister, and I will Appearing openly in front of King Cheng has aroused her alarm. And you are both King Cheng's enemy and the one whom Xu Wei highly recommends. Little bastard, do you understand?"
It turns out that this vixen had already predicted that I would cooperate with her, and it was indeed a good idea to arrange things so smoothly. Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Having said that, don't forget, the fairy is still injured in my hands, how can I be on good terms with him? I'm afraid this strategy won't work."
"Giggle--" An Biru burst into laughter, and her breasts and hips trembled slightly. The beautiful figure that curves forward and backward draws a seductive curve, which makes people feel scared and dazzled when they look at it.
"Little brother, you don't understand these so-called righteous people. My senior sister is revered as a fairy in the sky. Thousands of people worship her and ten thousand people admire her. The slogan she shouts all day long is to take the common people and justice in the world as her own responsibility. Why? Wouldn't she disregard the righteousness she believed in all her life because of a small personal grudge? Wouldn't that make the world laugh at her and damage her reputation? She would never do such a thing, even if she was in her heart. A thousand or ten thousand people are unwilling to do so, but as long as you perform well, she will have to stand with you for the sake of so-called justice and credibility. She would rather sacrifice the happiness of others to maintain her face with you. What's the big deal?"
This is true. Looking at the way Sister An acts, cunning, vicious, and arbitrary, one can imagine the style of Fairy Ning who is completely opposite to her. Lin Wanrong believed a little in his heart and said with a smile: "I hope it will be as you think."
"Not only that, King Cheng has murderous intentions towards you and has entrusted me to personally come forward - think about it, if my senior sister knew that I was blatantly committing evil and killing innocent people indiscriminately, what would she do with her 'comparable compassion' heart? How about that?" A sly smile flashed across An Biru's face, she lifted up her veil as if unintentionally, and said in a charming manner.
"Sister, this dress of yours is so beautiful. Do you have any with less material?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile. Seeing An Biru smile slightly and the silver light flashing in his hand, he suddenly looked serious and said: "If Fairy Ning knows If you do something evil, she will naturally stop you - well, if I hurt her, she will protect me instead? "
"That's probably the case. Haha, it all depends on your ability." An Biru said with a smile.
After associating the cause and effect, it turned out that Sister An's public appearance next to King Cheng was premeditated. This vixen's scheming should not be underestimated.
"Although I have arranged all these things, my senior sister's charm is known to the world. No man can resist her words, deeds, and smiles. Sister, I am still worried that you will betray me, so, giggle— —" There was a blush on her face, her eyes were full, her tongue stretched out and she lightly licked her red lips, and she said with a charming smile: "Do you understand now what my sister meant by dressing like this today? I'm taking advantage of you, little rascal. "
"It turns out that sister is afraid that I will fall into Fairy Ning's beauty trap, so she dresses like this to test me? If I had known this, I would be bolder and bolder. Sister, how do you feel about testing me? ?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
An Biru chuckled softly: "It's not satisfactory. You know, I didn't use any methods. Even if I did, it was just a way to charm from the outside. But my senior sister is a true charmer from the inside. She doesn't need words, just smiles. , A frown can draw away a man's soul, haha, don't blame me for not reminding you if you are taken advantage of by her."
While An Biru was speaking, she tapped her lotus feet lightly, took a clean robe from the edge of the pool, and put it on her body, hiding her beautiful snowy skin in the robe, but she still had a graceful figure with prominent curves. A different kind of temptation.
Damn, I don't know if this slutty fox has any other senior sisters. It would be best if I let this slutty fox dress like this to test me every day. That would be great. He sighed secretly in his heart and his eyes flashed with lust.
An Biru rolled up her hair, put it into a bun, and then smiled and said: "Okay, it's getting late today, so I should leave. If you go back later, your Xiao Da Chong will have to leave." Showed off his power."
Xiao Da Chong? Lin Wanrong was stunned when he heard this, and then said in a funny voice: "Sister, are you leaving now? Oh, my little brother still wants to play in this spring water with you, why did you just leave?"
"A guy with a thief's heart but no courage." An Biru pointed out his true nature with a gentle word. She stood by the boulder and said with a smile: "I won't be entangled with you anymore. If you stay for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. Haha, Little brother, just wait for me to 'assassinate' you -" He paused on his toes, his body was like a flying goose, his long skirt was swaying lightly, his hair was flowing down, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye. [Heavenly Kiss Hand Beat]
An Hu left as soon as he said so, very resolutely, but he didn't seem to have any nostalgia at all. Standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the setting sun, Lin Wanrong had a strange feeling in his heart. The incident with Qingxuan had led to the relationship between Sister An and Fairy Ning. Now he was about to be linked to Prince Cheng and the Imperial Court, and to his original What I imagined was getting further and further away. The matter of a man and a woman being happy with each other has stirred up sect grievances and government affairs. This road is really not easy to walk.
When he got home, Xiao Dachong was not in the house. He asked Mrs. Song, but she said that Miss Xu had invited the eldest daughter to talk, and she would stay at Xu's house tonight and would not come back.
Since I have known the eldest lady for so long, this is the first time that she has stayed up at night. Facing the empty and silent courtyard, he felt a little lonely in his heart. I'm used to the eldest lady nagging me around, but I'm really not used to missing her for a while. Think about the nickname Xiao Da Chong that Sister An gave to the eldest daughter. It is funny but also a bit heartwarming. Having a fierce wife at home may not be a blessing.
Xiao Da Chong was not here, but he got up very early the next day. Seeing him taking the initiative to help in the store, Mrs. Song was secretly surprised, why did Lin San become self-conscious when the eldest lady went out.
After being busy for a while, I was thinking about when Sister An would come to play the assassination game. But I heard a burst of laughter coming from outside the door: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin——"
Lin Wanrong hurriedly went out to take a look, only to see Hu Bugui, Du Xiuyuan, Li Sheng and others, as well as Li Tai's grandson Li Wuling, all riding on horseback, came to visit together. Xu Zhen also held an empty horse in his hand, and he didn't know who it was for.
Lin Wanrong smiled and walked forward and said: "Brother Hu, Brother Du, why are you here free? Please sit inside. Huan'er, serve tea - go to the eldest lady's room and bring last year's new tea. These days All of them are my brothers who have sacrificed their lives, so I cannot afford to neglect them."
Several people turned over and dismounted. Li Wuling saw that he was commanding freely and did not look like a servant at all. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Lin San, it turns out that you live such a peaceful life in the Xiao family. You can even enter and exit the eldest lady's embroidery room at will." , no wonder he doesn't want to go to war."
Du Xiuyuan and others burst into dirty laughter, and Lin Wanrong chuckled. Speaking of which, he really didn't regard himself as an outsider. One day, he would marry the two young ladies of the Xiao family. This Xiao family would be the dowry of the Yuruo sisters. At that time, the Xiao family will change their surname to Lin.
Hu Bugui smiled lewdly a few times, took his hand and said: "General Lin, if you have time to have tea, come on, come on, come on, come with me -" As soon as he finished speaking, he held him and started to go out. go.
Lin Wanrong said hurriedly: "Brother Hu, what are you doing?"
Du Xiuyuan followed beside him and said with a mysterious smile: "You will know later."
Several people joined forces and pushed him onto the free horse. Lin Wanrong smiled. It turned out that these boys had a plan and came specifically to find me.
Seeing him mount the horse, Li Wuling gave a loud shout, and the little white colt under him suddenly stepped out, kicking up a cloud of dust, and pedestrians on both sides of the street fled to avoid it.
Damn, you are a typical evil boy. Lin Wanrong burst into laughter and followed him on his horse, and the others followed him.
After running out of the city gate for more than ten miles, he heard bursts of fighting in front of him. Lin Wanrong looked forward and saw bursts of dust in front of him. The sound of killing was loud, and he didn't know what was going on. Do something.
After walking for several more miles, the shouts of killing became louder and louder. Li Wuling in front had a look of joy on his face, he urged his horse even more hastily, and disappeared after a few dashes.
"General Lin, look." Hu Bugui, who was walking behind Lin Wanrong, urged his horse a few steps to catch up, lined up with him, pointed at the scene ahead and shouted with a smile.
Looking in the direction of his finger, I saw a huge battlefield in front of me, and I couldn't see the edge at a glance. The battlefield was filled with dust and smoke, and countless soldiers armed with swords and guns were divided into different local teams according to their duties and were fighting.
The closest one is Buying, a commander who looks like a commander. Holding small flags and waving them constantly, the soldiers in training practiced different formations according to his flag language, either with a spear or a circular formation. The dust and sand raised by the rapid running of tens of thousands of soldiers turned half of the sky yellow. These soldiers are strong and powerful, their movements are skillful and quick, their faces are full of killing intent, and you can tell at a glance that they are well-trained soldiers and strong generals. The formation became more and more complex. With the continuous waving of flags, it later evolved into a battle of encirclement and annihilation. Lin Wanrong was also dazzled by the sight.
Further away, there is a cavalry formation, with tens of thousands of horses neighing together, and the ticking of horse hooves is like dull spring thunder, beating the earth. The earth shook and the mountains shook, deafening. The cavalry formation consisted of a thousand people, and they practiced killing immediately, but they used the wooden stick tied on the ground as a target. They used knives, guns, hooks and forks, and various weapons to target the weakling's vitals and assassinate him.
The furthest away was a mixture of infantry and cavalry camps, numbering tens of thousands of people. The infantry soldiers charged forward, carrying ladder rockets and rushing towards several city walls constructed on the battlefield. It turned out that they were practicing siege warfare.
There was a high platform in the middle of the siege party, and a young general wearing a helmet and armor, majestic, was shouting commands. Judging from his gestures and body shape, he is very skilled and confident. But the battlefield was filled with dust, and the general's face could not be seen clearly. The siege soldiers shouted to kill Zhentian, set up the ladder, scrambled to climb up the ladder, and rushed towards the city wall. On the city wall, there were several figures standing in the distance, watching the actual military drill with great interest.
"General Lin, what do you think?" Du Xiuyuan said loudly with excitement on his face.
Lin Wanrong smiled slightly: "Brother Du, is this the legendary military exercise on the battlefield? It is indeed majestic and majestic."
Du Xiuyuan nodded and said: "It's just the preparation of troops on the battlefield. I have been in the army for so many years, but I have never seen such a large-scale military exercise. These are our elite troops from Dahua, who will fight against the barbarians in the future. These iron-clad soldiers will This man is the main force of my Dahua. With this momentum and momentum, it would be unreasonable if I cannot win."
Li Sheng and Xu Zhen nodded repeatedly after what Du Xiuyuan said, which made the usually calm Du Xiuyuan so excited. This exercise of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses was indeed very shocking.
Lin Wanrong remained silent. Although he has never fought against the Hu people, in the novels and TV shows he had read in his previous life, how could the Hu people be so easy to deal with? Exercises are not actual combat. No matter how powerful they are and how many tricks they have, they are just fancy tricks. Although they look good, they may not be practical. The battlefield is ever-changing, and the victory or defeat of a war can be decided in a blink of an eye. If such a large-scale military exercise can predict the success or failure of the war, why bother fighting a war?
When Hu Bugui saw the spectacular scene in front of him, his face was also full of smiles, but he was not as excited as Du Xiuyuan. He had fought against the Hu people in the north and had seen the strength and ferocity of the Hu people. He only returned to Shandong to lead troops because the White Lotus cult criminals were implicated, so naturally he had the most say.
Lin Wanrong looked at him with a smile and said, "Brother Hu, what do you think of this military exercise?"
Hu Bugui nodded and said, "We have strong soldiers and strong horses, and we can fight against the barbarians."
Lin Wanrong smiled slightly. This old nonsense said so tactfully that he was probably afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers in front of him. With such a big scene in front of them, they are worthy of fighting against the barbarians. It seems that the barbarians are indeed powerful enough.
After all, Xu Zhen was young, less than twenty years old. He felt a little frustrated after hearing this and said unconvinced: "General Hu, are the Hu people as powerful as you said? These are our elite troops in front of you. Just a fight with the barbarians?"
Although Hu Bugui was in trouble, he paid great attention to the state of mind of his brothers. Seeing the unconvinced look on Xu Zhen's face, he sighed with emotion, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Xu boy, I haven't met him yet." The Hu people had the same idea as you before, but facts speak louder than words. At present, our Dahua sergeants are indeed slightly inferior to the Hu people. "
Du Xiuyuan and others were also on the battlefield, but they had never touched the Hu people. Although they heard about the brutality and ferocity of the Hu people, when they met Hu Bugui, who was not afraid of death, his face was filled with worry when he talked about the Hu people. Suddenly I felt a little uneasy.
Lin Wanrong observed their words, saw the expressions of several people in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "Brother Hu is right, the Hu people are nomadic people, they live on horseback, have strong physiques, and have no fixed place. Long-term wandering not only exercises their horses skills, which also enhance their
He has a sense of crisis, so he is strong in combat and not afraid of life and death. I, Sergeant Dahua, have been living in comfort these years. It is natural for me to suffer occasional defeats at the beginning of the war. As the saying goes, we are born in sorrow and die in happiness. As the war unfolded, our soldiers and civilians learned their shame and became brave. They gradually grew up and became stronger and stronger. In a few days, they could ride horses, shoot arrows and kill like the barbarians. They dismounted. Think about it, our country has been standing for thousands of years and has been insulted more than a hundred times. Who have we ever been afraid of? Brothers, don't belittle yourselves. "
General Lin usually laughs and laughs, but when he talks about serious matters, he is well-founded. Hu Bugui secretly raised his thumb. The same words from Lao Hu's mouth shook the morale of the army, but from General Lin's mouth they inspired people.
Several of them were generals who fought under General Lin and were well aware of General Lin's abilities. Seeing what he said, they immediately regained some confidence and smiled on their faces.
Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "Brother Hu, Brother Du, did you come to me today just to watch this military exercise?"
Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and then focused their eyes expectantly on Lin Wanrong.
Looking at their expressions, Lin Wanrong still didn't know what they meant, so he smiled slightly and said: "Let's not talk about anything else. The three eldest brothers, and Xu Zhen, you are also ten thousand households and one thousand households under General Li Tai. Why is this military exercise But you have no part in it?"
Hu Bugui said: "General Lin, you don't know something. Before our army officially sets off, we will practice on the school grounds every day. Today is the first military exercise in spring. The emperor and all the princes and ministers are here to watch. Originally, we all It's just that the emperor sent a person to assist General Li Tai a few days ago. Today, General Li specially held a practical training to test this person's ability. The soldiers were selected by this assistant general. It is determined that General Li will not interfere, but the result is——" Hu Bugui showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and did not dare to say any more.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "As a result, you were not selected?"
Hu Bugui's face turned red, but he clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee. Du Xiuyuan and others also knelt down and shouted together: "The general is stupid and has embarrassed the general. Please punish him."
Lin Wanrong was startled and hurriedly helped several people up and said: "Brothers, please get up quickly. What are you doing?"
After helping several people up, Hu Bugui sighed and said: "General Lin has been away from the army for a few days and doesn't know anything. A few days ago, when the auxiliary general selected the generals to participate in the exercise, he sent us thousands of households and tens of thousands of people to participate in the exercise. I took him with me and took an exam."
"Examination?" Lin Wanrong asked curiously: "There is still an examination in the military? This is the first time I have heard of it."
Hu Bugui said angrily: "Who says it's not the case? I, Old Hu, have been holding knives all my life, so how can I catch the pen holder securely? In the end, among our brothers, only Brother Du passed the test. . Later, when Brother Du saw that several of us had lost his qualifications, he became angry and attacked the auxiliary general. The result was good, he also lost his qualifications. " At this point, he looked at Du Xiuyuan gratefully. The two of them used to fight each other when they met, but at the critical moment, they were both loyal and spirited men.
"What the hell is this? The abilities of these eldest brothers were gained in battles, and they have nothing to do with exams." Lin Wanrong was also furious. He knew the capabilities of these generals better than anyone else. They were all made with real swords and guns, and none of them were mixed with water.
He snorted heavily and said: "Xu Zhen, tell me, what kind of exam is it? Who came up with the idea?"
Xu Zhen hurriedly bowed and said: "Go back to the general, it's the art of war test."
Test the art of war? Lin Wanrong was stunned, "Oh my god, who the hell knows about this thing? If you ask me to take the exam, I will definitely get duck eggs." Besides, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and no matter how strong the military tactics are, they cannot keep up with the mutiny.
Du Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said: "This military art exam is written according to the script. Brother Hu and the others are all former soldiers. They all answered based on their own experience. If they differed greatly from the military art exam, they were judged to be unqualified."
What nonsense? Lin Wanrong snorted: "Where did this auxiliary general come from? He took the exam and came to the military camp. Could it be that he was the number one scholar?"
