Chapter 465 I Did It on Purpose

Who do you say is coming? Lin Wanrong felt dizzy when he heard it, it wouldn't be so coincidental, how did Lao Xu and the others do their spy work? Even spying on others, I am afraid that they have already been monitored by others.

Xu Wei was also shocked: "King Cheng is here? How is this possible, he can't know we are here. Don't worry, Chief Gao, speak slowly."

Chief Gao swallowed and said in frustration, "I don't know what's going on, but the gate of Prince Cheng's mansion suddenly opened, and the prince rushed here with dozens of troops. The news, the prince and the others have arrived at the entrance of the alley at this moment, and they will be there as soon as they see it."

"He's really here?!" Xu Wei stroked his beard, was silent for a while, looked at Lin Wanrong and said, "Little brother Lin, what do you think we should do?"

This old Xu is very cunning, and he handed me the hot potato at the critical moment. Dissatisfied with Lin Wanrong's boss, he laughed: "Brother Gao, are you sure that King Cheng only brought dozens of people here?!"

Chief Gao nodded again and again: "Yes, very sure. The entrance of this alley is small, and the number of people in the 100s can only line up to enter. No matter how many people he brings, it is useless."

That's it, Lin Wanrong nodded and said again: "Then let me ask again, Brother Gao, how many eyeliners do we have around this palace?"

"There are no one hundred, there are eighty, all of them are good players in the palace. If we really make trouble, we will not suffer any losses." Gao Chief said confidently. I have a number in my mind.

"That's surprising." Lin Wanrong took two steps slowly, and smiled unhurriedly: "In terms of the situation, we are in the dark, they are in the light. In terms of manpower, we have around a hundred numbers around this alley. There are only a few dozen, and they are not opponents in fights. So why did he take the initiative to come to us? Is he looking for a disadvantage?!"

Asking Brother Lin to make such an analysis, Gao Chief was also puzzled. According to reason, a person like King Cheng is very wealthy and should not take such a risk. What is he going to do?

"Brother Lin, there is only the largest alley opposite the palace. There are dozens of families living here. Is he here to visit relatives and friends?" Chief Gao thought about it for a long time, as if asking himself, and proposed insights.

This old brother can really comfort himself, Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled and said: "Brother Gao, do you use the night to visit relatives and friends? Besides, he is the prince Longsun, even if he is visiting relatives and friends, it should be someone else to visit. He, what's the use of him visiting others."

Makes sense. Hearing this, Gao Chief nodded, and Xu Wei stroked his beard and asked, "Could it be that he discovered our whereabouts? This old man is a little confident. I personally arranged all the bright posts and dark posts around me. The wind was blowing. Even the old man came to this house with make-up, and no one could recognize him.

It is impossible for them to find it here. "

"It's not enough to leak Xingzang." Lin Wanrong shook his head: "If this house is really exposed, he won't appear in person."

Xu Wei nodded again and again, Lin Xiaoxiong's words were on the point. If he really found this place, King Yicheng's palace would never be exposed: "In the opinion of my little brother, what did he do?"

Even the famous Xu Wenchang wanted to ask Lin San for advice, this brother Lin is really getting more and more amazing, and the five-body shot that Gao Chief admires. He quickly pricked up his ears to listen.

"According to my guess, he came to demonstrate." Lin Wanrong said softly.

"Demonstration?" Gao Yi and Xu Wei were shocked at the same time.

"Yes, it's a demonstration." Lin Wanrong looked serious and sighed: "Mr. Xu, you have been an official in the court for a long time, and you are aware of people's attitudes. The emperor's recent actions in the court are silent. The sound is carried out in secret, but even the public is secretly speculating, will he not know about an old Jianghu like King Cheng?"

Xu Wei nodded and said: "He knows it better than anyone else. But with the palace of the prince, he will never show it easily." "That's it." Lin Wanrong clapped his hands and said, "Who is the emperor's action aimed at? Everyone in the world knows who King Cheng is, but how can he not know. If I expected it right, he must have already known that someone outside the mansion is watching. Now is the time when the two armies face off, and what is lacking is a fire. He expects us to return There is no reason to do it. It is such a sudden surprise. On the one hand, it catches us by surprise. It disrupts our deployment, and on the other hand, it has some hints, making us shrink back and dare not act rashly. "

"Brother Lin, what do you mean, the lord may not know that we are here. His sudden appearance is to scare the dark piles around us?" Gao Chief finally understood.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "That's the truth. He didn't come against us. Anyway, there are eyeliners outside the house. As long as he shows up, someone will naturally pass on the news. His purpose has also been achieved, this is the A psychological battle to see who can stand it first."

When it comes to figuring out people's psychology, Lin San recognized it as the second, and no one in the world dared to be the first. Xu Wei heard it and felt that it made a lot of sense. A guard rushed in and whispered a few words in Gao Chief's ear. Gao Chief lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Xu, Brother Lin, the lord is only a few steps away from here—"

Only a few steps away? ! Lin Wanrong's heart was pounding. Although he was well-informed in his analysis, it was all wishful thinking. No one was sure what King Cheng was thinking. Seeing that King Cheng rushed straight forward as if he was not afraid of death, which was very contrary to his usual words and deeds, Lin Wanrong was also nervous. He gritted his teeth, made a silent gesture, and walked lightly with Gao Yi and Xu Wei. Arriving in the courtyard, as soon as I stood up against the wall, I heard the sound of clattering footsteps.

"Father, it's so late, why are you still going to Xiangguo Temple? It's not too late to go tomorrow." A clear voice came. This person, Lin Wanrong, is no stranger to Luo Ning and Xu Changjin. , it is the little prince Zhao Kangning.

King Cheng sighed softly, his voice a little old: "Is it still time to go to Xiangguo Temple to worship Buddha? Yesterday, the father and I had a dream and complained that I hadn't offered incense to him for a long time, and I was ashamed of being a son and a minister. I'm so restless, I can't even gather energy for the previous court. I'll go to Xiangguo Temple tonight to accompany the old man."

Hearing that it was the emperor's dream, Zhao Kangning stopped talking, King Cheng paused for a while, then glanced around, and his expression seemed to have infinite nostalgia: "I moved out of the palace after I became an adult, and in a blink of an eye, three For more than ten years, the houses and alleys on all sides have not changed much. It still looks like many years ago, but I am old. "

Zhao Kangning hurriedly said respectfully: "Father Wang Chunqiu is in full bloom, like green pines and cypresses, why have you ever grown old?"

King Cheng coughed lightly and shook his head lightly: "Don't say something nice, I know myself, two years are not as good as one year, and I don't know if I can still see the red leaves this autumn. Yes. Corning, if I can't make it this year, you can go and see it for me, and it will be my last dream."

"Father--" Zhao Kangning burst into tears and dared not speak again.

The steps in the alley gradually faded away, and there was no human voice, and Lin Wanrong breathed a long sigh of relief. Chief Gao said, "Brother Lin, did you make a mistake, did the lord really come to demonstrate? I look like I regret it."

Xu Wei laughed loudly: "As the saying goes, a big traitor must have great wisdom. If he is truly repentant, he can just talk about it at home. Why go to this alley and talk to others. Tell me. Brother Lin's guess is good. , he is here for the demonstration, he caught us by surprise and made us not dare to act rashly, and maybe we will be confused by his words."

Gao Chief blushed when he heard this, even though he was on duty in the palace. But it is a Jianghu people, how can they understand the heroic means of King Cheng, that laughter and tears are all invincible weapons. If it wasn't for Xu Wei, the old fritters wake up, I am afraid that he would really be confused by the sincere remarks of King Cheng.

"It's not necessarily all fake," Lin Wanrong smiled: "Human nature, there are always some things that are real and hard to hide. But Mr. Xu reminded me that a big man like Wang Ye would never Without a target, he sighed in public, what kind of message is he trying to convey to us?"

Xu Wei nodded. For a man like King Cheng, every word has a deep meaning. It is rare for Brother Lin to be so smart. It is a pity that he does not become an official.

Gao Chief's thinking ability is far inferior to Lin Xu and the two. His thinking is more direct, and he hummed: "Do you still need to think. Either it is a real sign of weakness, or it is a fake one. There is always one of them."

"Brother Gao's opinion is really extraordinary." Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up and smiled.

Xu Wei is also a great joy. This Gao Chief's words are basically like saying nothing. He sighed: "If you really show weakness and beg for mercy, it will be my great blessing. Unfortunately, things are probably not that simple, he is afraid There are other plans. But the foundation of the White Lotus Sect that he worked so hard to build was completely destroyed by us last year. Now that he has no soldiers and is trapped in Beijing, what else can he do?"

Xu Wei frowned, thinking hard, as if talking to himself.

"Who said he has no soldiers in his hands?" Lin Wanrong said lightly: "Will he not borrow it?"

borrow? ! With a word to wake up the dreamer, Xu Wei was horrified: "Little brother Lin, you mean, he and the Hu people—this is a matter of forgetting the ancestors, does he really have the courage?"

Brother Lin's guess was too bold. Rao was Xu Wei who had been through the storm for a long time, so he didn't dare to go on. Since the founding of Emperor Taizu, the Hu people have repeatedly committed crimes against Dahua. There have been constant wars between the two sides. There have been several border battles. At that time, he still kept thinking "Hu Chuguo Xing" in his mouth. If Longsun, a prince like King Cheng, casts himself against the Hu people, it would not only be a betrayal of his ancestors, but also a great shame for Dahua.

"There is nothing to dare. In the face of interests, everything is fragile." Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mr. Xu, you have been in the court for so many years, and you should know more about this kind of thing than me."

Xu Wei was speechless. In the past dynasties, there have been countless people who have forgotten their ancestors. King Cheng is not the first, nor will he be the last. Xu Wei sighed: "Little Brother Lin, this is a big matter, and there is no real evidence, so you must not believe it."

Is it nonsense? Lin Wanrong has a good idea. Since the Turkic Pika Khan can give Zhao Kangning the tobacco leaves that are more valuable than gold, the relationship between the two families is naturally unusual. Zhao Kangning is not as capable as Lin San.* One mouth can blackmail that tobacco leaf.

"I also hope that I misunderstood the prince." Lin Wanrong laughed twice: "It's just that the matter is more serious than what you think, Mr. Xu - don't you know, Mr. Xu. The army that the prince borrowed has already set off."

"Let's go? Where are you?" The more he heard Lin San's words, the more frightened Xu Wei became. How did this little brother Lin change his style today, and it would be better to tell jokes like in the past. Hearing him talk about military affairs, There is a kind of taste that is not surprising and endless, which makes people feel frightened.

"Korea!" Lin Wanrong's answer was concise and powerful.

Xu Wei sat on the chair with a clatter, his face instantly pale.

"Koryo! Koryo!!!" he muttered to himself. If Lin San's inference is true, King Cheng has not only colluded with the Hu people, but also colluded with Dongying, which is simply the eternal sinner of the Dahua nation. Thinking about the Shandong military pay case, and thinking about the time when the East sent troops to Korea, Lin San's words hardly need any evidence to prove it.

"Mr. Xu, how's the situation on Gaoli's side? Where did the Dahua Zhongyong Army go?" Ignoring Xu Wei's surprise, Lin Wanrong asked casually.

Xu Wei has seen a lot of people. After a while of silence, he recovered: "Dongying's warship has already arrived, and the Japanese have only sent a small group of soldiers to make a tentative landing in the past two days. The Koryo army swears to resist, and now the two sides are at a stalemate, and the King of Koryo has already made several urgent reports. Request reinforcements from the imperial court. Due to the large number of recruits, the Dahua Zhongyong Army has been training while marching. The progress is very slow, and it has not crossed the river yet."

"No hurry, no hurry." Lin Wanrong smiled slyly: "Since Goryeo and Dongying are still in a stalemate. Let the brothers practice more, and it will not be too late to cross the river in two days. Anyway, Sergeant Goryeo would rather defend the soil. Let us bless their bravery, those who died in battle."

What Lin Wanrong said was a taboo, how could an old fox like Xu Wei still not understand. This is killing with a soft knife. Let the Koreans first go shopping with the Japanese to clear the obstacles for the entry of the Dahua loyal and brave army. Even if the King of Korea knew that this was a trap, he had to grit his teeth and jump in.

Calling Brother Lin such an insidious act, the unhappiness caused by the collusion between King Cheng and the Japanese immediately dissipated a lot, and Xu Wei was very relieved and raised his finger in praise: "Little Brother Lin, listening to you is better than reading ten years of sages. As long as you are here, I will never suffer any loss from Dahua."

"That's because I've already suffered a loss." Lin Wanrong sighed, then smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Xu passed the prize. In fact, there is one more thing I want to trouble you, Mr. Xu."

He leaned into Xu Wei's ear and said a few words, Xu Wei gave a long sigh, looked at him and smiled: "It really is a young man, even the little palace maid of Goryeo is not spared. But this little palace maid does have some knowledge, if It's not as a barbarian. I'll be worthy of you, Brother Lin. Just don't worry, I'll ask someone to inquire about her."

Lin Wanrong couldn't tell if he was suffering. This incident is his great humiliation. He wants to let outsiders know that the shrewd and capable Lin San was raped by a Koryo little palace maid, and he has no face to live in this world.

"What's not romantic," he laughed awkwardly: "I just left some very important seeds in her without knowing it, I'm afraid it will cause a series of unpredictable adverse reactions in the future, so I thought Please help Mr. Xu to find out."

Here again, every time I hear Brother Lin talk about the Book of Heaven, Lao Xu gets a big headache. Fortunately, he was also romantic, laughing and hitting a look that a man can understand. Don't worry, little brother, I will definitely handle this matter.

"By the way, Mr. Lin, are there any arrangements at Xiangguo Temple?" At the end of the day, seeing that it was already dark, Lin Wanrong had already walked out of the door with Gao Chief, and suddenly turned back and asked.

Lin Xiaoxiong is really diligent and does not slack off. Xu Wei praised and nodded in response: "Little brother, don't worry, wherever the big fish goes, there are fishing nets to follow."

Lin Wanrong nodded and didn't speak. He felt a little inappropriate in his heart, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what the problem was. Until he returned to Xiao's house and entered the courtyard, he was still thinking in his mind, and there was no sign of him under his feet. He paid attention, but he almost bumped into someone's arms, the feeling of being soft and silky like satin made him nervous for a whole day, and he took out a handful and said with a smile, "Hey, Xian'er, you Why did you hit me on purpose? It hurts so badly, you see, there are two big bags."

"Who hit you on purpose?!" The woman was embarrassed and furious, and hurriedly avoided his claws.

The girl was still shy, he didn't raise his head, and said with a teasing, "You didn't mean it—but I did it! Come on, ask my husband to hug me—"

"What? You did it on purpose?!" Several angry snarls sounded in his ears at the same time, making his eardrums buzz.
