Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

Not long after the imperial examination was over, those who had obtained good rankings in both the civil and military examinations were given positions and started working.

Lin Chao had also been working in a military officer position, a position that was not high in rank but had some real power, for more than a month.

The emperor values ​​her and she has her own abilities, so she feels like a fish in water in the court.

Just recently, because he accomplished a great thing, Lin Chao was promoted from the fifth rank to the fifth rank.

If my qualifications were not so low, I would probably continue to move up in career.

Such a Lin Chao aroused the jealousy of many people.

If a poor hunter with no background stepped on girls from official families to get to the top, would they still have any face if this got out?

Therefore, those dandy girls who had entered the court relying on their family background now also relied on their family background to set a trap for Lin Chao.

They are not good at doing their job, but they are very good at framing others and bringing them down.

Lin Chao was an upright person, and he did not covet power or money. There was nothing wrong with him that could be criticized.

Those who hated her seized on the fact that she was acquainted with Di Qing and added the fact that she was related to the only son of the Zhu family, and accused her of taking advantage of her position to commit evil.

It was not a very well-thought-out plan, and it might even sound a bit ridiculous, but it certainly could not bring down Lin Chao.

But what they want is not to overthrow someone all at once, but to have a good relationship with the imperial ministers who hold military power. Just this alone can make the emperor suspicious and doubtful.

No matter what the final result of the investigation is, putting the matter out in the open and adding a few ominous guesses will definitely leave a thorn in the emperor's heart.

Especially since Lin Chao was alone in the court, but those girls were not. In fact, Lin Chao's superior was the mother of one of the girls.

It is very easy to put on a smear campaign against people who are close to you. If your superior is dissatisfied with you, even if there is no problem with your ability, there must be something else wrong, and it is possible that there is something wrong with your character.

The thoughts of those in a higher position are the most difficult to guess. Sometimes, even if she knows that you have done nothing and are a clean person, once suspicion arises, it will be difficult to reuse her.

Later, even though it was clear that there was no interest involved in the relationship between Lin Chao and the emperor's officials, the emperor still did not want to take Lin Chao seriously.

At the instigation of others, Lin Chao was sent to the border.

When the court was dismissed, several officials who usually found fault with Lin Chao surrounded her.

A military officer named Zhang said with a smile:

"Congratulations, Commander Lin, it's only been a few days and you've been promoted again."

"Yes, you must help us in the future. We can only fight in the capital, unlike Commander Lin, who can go to the battlefield."

Another official who was with him winked and said flattering words, but the contempt in his eyes clearly showed the opposite meaning.

Everyone knows that the capital is under the emperor's eyes. Even if one's official position is low for the time being, as long as the emperor values ​​him, it will be like climbing the ladder to heaven in one step.

Lin Chao went from a fifth-rank official in the capital to a fourth-rank lieutenant in the border area. On the surface, it seemed like he had been promoted, but to them, it was actually a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality.

The other official probably had some friction with Lin Chao and didn't even want to pretend to have peace on the surface.

"Lt. Lin, you have to be careful. The border is not like the capital. No one there will support you just because of their connections. If General Lin is afraid, we won't stop him from applying for a transfer."

"Councilor Qian, what are you talking about? What kind of person is Lin Zuoling? He is a distinguished guest in the Emperor's Palace. No one can stop him even if they want to."

The two of them sang the same tune, mocking Lin Chao for relying on his status as an imperial minister to ascend to the throne.

Lin Chao has a good temper, but he is not a softie who can be bullied by others.

She looked at the official who had been finding fault with her for the past month and sneered.

"If you are envious, I will ask His Majesty for permission and we will go to the border together. The comradeship in the court can also continue on the battlefield."

"But, I am afraid that with your fighting power, you may not be able to come back once you go to the battlefield."

When saying this, Lin Chao looked down, without even glancing at the few people, and then withdrew his gaze indifferently.

She clearly did nothing, but she made everyone feel extremely despised.

But even if they knew they were being looked down upon, what could they do? They couldn't really ask the emperor for permission to go to the border and demonstrate their "strength".

"Humph." Senator Qian's face flashed with shame and anger, and he muttered:

"What's so great about that? You're just a stronger hunter, and you don't know any martial arts. Do you really think you're so powerful? Don't cry and beg to come back when the time comes."

After she finished speaking, fearing that Lin Chao would force her to ask the emperor for permission, Councillor Qian waved his sleeves and left.

The others also snorted like her, then waved their sleeves and left, as if they were so angry that they didn't want to continue communicating with this boy.

Lin Chao looked at their backs, but no matter how he looked at them, he felt that their shadows were full of guilt.

"It's so boring."

Even though she was the winner of this "war of words", Lin Chao still couldn't feel the slightest joy of victory.

It was not her ambition to quarrel with others every day in the capital. When Lin Chao received the news that she would be assigned to the post at the border today, she was not afraid or panicked.

On the contrary, when she heard the news, a feeling of relief and joy spread from the bottom of her heart.

She was not afraid to go to the border. Compared with the intrigues and deceptions in the capital, fighting with real guns and swords made her feel freer.

Lin Chao put the imperial edict in his arms, curled his lips slightly, and walked out of the palace gate.

As she reached the door, she noticed a gorgeous carriage.

The servant standing outside noticed Lin Chao, lifted the curtain and said something to inside, and soon, Qi Yi got off the carriage.

It was obvious that he was here to find me.

Lin Chao took two steps at a time and bowed to Qi Yi.

"My Lord, what can I do for you?"

When Qi Yi heard Lin Chao's address to him, his eyes were full of meaning. He asked,

"Lin Chao, I knew that the imperial sister was going to send you to the border, and I didn't plead for you. Do you blame me?"

Lin Chao shook his head.

"It's not the Emperor's fault. I came to participate in the martial arts test for the people of the world. For me, whether I'm in the capital or at the border, I'm doing things for the people. There's no difference."

"Besides, I think the border is more suitable for me than the capital."

This is what Qi Yi thought, so he did not object to his sister's decision.

Also, he has some selfish motives.

Compared with the complicated network of relationships in the capital, it was easier for Lin Chao to make a name for himself at the border and obtain a higher position.

He had some feelings for Lin Chao, so he hoped that she would return to Beijing with a high position so that they could start to have some possibilities.

Thinking of this, Qi Yi lowered his eyes, with some hints in his words.

"Lin Chao, I believe that with your ability, you will be able to achieve results and return to the capital soon."

"I'll wait here for you to come back."
