Fengluo Pingyang

Fang Yueqi ran all the way from Caishi Street to Dongcheng District where Lin's Mansion is located. He passed the spacious main road, but saw pedestrians on both sides of the road.

Fang Yueqi was blocked by the crowd, and he didn't dare to cross the big street, so he could only stand in the middle of the crowd patiently, looking at the army who didn't know where it came from.

The rows of soldiers walking past were solemn and solemn, and even the sound of footsteps landing was uniform, and the sound of military boots knocking on the ground gathered together, making people's hearts tremble for no reason.

Fang Yueqi was a little puzzled, this wasn't the soldiers in the camp outside the capital, how could this kind of killing aura be found in soldiers who had never been on the battlefield?

"I heard it came from the sea." The crowd of onlookers talked a lot.

"Eliminate all the pirates in Jianzhou. The imperial court suppressed pirates every year, but they couldn't get rid of them every year. This time, the root of the pirates has been eradicated."

"Which general led the soldiers?"

"Old General Tong."

"It's not like, you didn't see the leading general just now, but he is young."

"You look so handsome, I wonder if you are married?"

"..."

Fang Yueqi's heart skipped a beat, Jianzhou?Isn't that where Ling Ji went to join the army?

He looked at the triumphant soldiers parading through the streets in front of him, and then thought about the handsome young general in the crowd, and a guess that was beyond reason and expected rose in his heart.

Is it really such a coincidence?This is Lingji's army?

The man who kidnapped Yue Sheng just now - Fang Yueqi's face darkened, not only did not feel relaxed, but he became more worried.

If it was someone else, the better ones would send Yuesheng home, and the worse ones might make Yuesheng suffer a little bit of flesh and blood, but if it falls into Lingji's hands, it's not as simple as being good or bad, Xiao Cousin is trying to lose his virginity!

Fang Yuesheng, who didn't know that his chastity was being worried about by his cousin, was still sitting on the horse with his head covered. He didn't know where the horse went, but he heard the bustling voices on both sides.

It's still raining, but where are there so many people?

Fang Yuesheng wanted to lift his cloak to take a look, but was covered by the person behind him.

"Don't move." The man's low voice came in through the cloak, but it seemed to ring in his ears.The vibrating chest was pressed against his back, and Fang Yuesheng's ears turned red with an intimate warmth.

The horse walked slowly on the road, and it took more than half an hour to stop, and the surrounding people's voices finally disappeared.

The cloak was lifted with a huff, and Fang Yuesheng finally saw the light of day again.

He turned back impatiently, and saw Ling Ji's smiling face at a glance.

He was darker than before, only his calm eyes were still so dark without any impurities, staring at him as intently as before.

"Lingji!" Fang Yuesheng called out in surprise with bright eyes.

Before Ling Ji could reply, a man dressed like a general walked up beside him, cupped his hands to Ling Ji and said, "General, the soldiers who brought you into the city have been arranged to wait in the square, and there are two other soldiers who have arranged to accompany you Let's go into the palace together."

"No need, the emperor only summoned me, don't make any trouble." Ling Ji said.

"Yes." The general led the order.

Fang Yuesheng looked at Lingji, and said in surprise, "Enter the palace?" He had never been in the palace when he was the son of the Marquis Mansion, only Mrs. Fang occasionally went to attend the life meeting held by the empress dowager, and now Lingji actually wanted to enter. palace? !

Ling Ji touched his face: "Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to take care of you, you stay with them first, and wait until I come out to find you."

Fang Yuesheng nodded in a daze.Although Ling Ji still had the same attitude towards him as before, Fang Yuesheng felt that he was very different from before.As for where the difference is, there are some things that can't be said.

Ling Ji got off his horse and helped Fang Yuesheng down.The few soldiers standing behind looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't know who this young son was their general.

Ling Ji handed Fang Yuesheng to a soldier and asked him to take good care of him, then followed the servant who came to welcome him to the palace gate.

Only then did Fang Yuesheng realize that they were outside the palace.

He was also a little shocked to see the back of Lingji walking into the rain. The young soldier entrusted by Lingji got a carriage from nowhere.

"My name is Zhao Xingwu. I'm General Ling's personal soldier. You can call me Xiao Wu. Please get in the car, my son. I don't know when the general will come out. You should take shelter in the car from the rain first."

Fang Yuesheng quickly thanked him, took off his coir raincoat and climbed into the car, still a little bit stunned for a while.

Xu Ruxin said that Ling Ji had made great contributions and was about to rise to prominence, but Fang Yuesheng did not expect that the emperor summoned him directly. How much credit must this be?How much face?

Fang Yuesheng was still a little dizzy, sitting in the carriage with his arms folded in a daze.

Zhao Xingwu, who was standing outside the car, was teased by several colleagues, and asked curiously: "Who is the young master in the car? Didn't I hear that General Ling has brothers? Why did he save someone as soon as he entered the capital? With such careful instructions, why don’t we have a carriage to ride in?”

"Why do you ask so many questions?" Zhao Xingwu drove everyone away, "Go and ask, and you will know what you should know sooner or later."

Here, Fang Yuesheng is still waiting for Ling Ji, who will return to the palace. In the clear water lake to the west of the capital, there are several painted boats floating leisurely in the middle of the lake. Looking at the past through the smoky rain curtain, there is a poetic scene .

In the larger painting boat, Xu Ruxin was holding warm wine from the small stove, poured two cups leisurely, and handed it to another person in the boat.

The man was in his 40s, and he was born with an upright face. His brows were frowning at this moment, and he looked dignified.

The man said: "There were seven pirates who became popular outside the Jianzhou sea area, and all of them were wiped out within this year. Your son will know."

"I have heard about it." Xu Ruxin nodded, "Master Cui is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, why do you pay too much attention to the matter of the sea?"

Cui Runuo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was even more angry: "How did the son say such a thing? If it weren't for the matter of the sea and the border, where did the tribute we receive come from—"

"Sir Shangshu, be careful." Xu Ruxin narrowed his eyes, showing a bit of sharpness.

"There are only our people on this boat, and Xu Shizi is too cautious." Cui Runuo sneered, seeing that Xu Ruxin really didn't intend to take up this topic, he could only say: "Jianzhou pirates have been rampant for decades, and the court has been punished every year. Sending people to encircle and suppress them is the norm. Who knew that last year a brat came out of nowhere, completely disregarding the rules, regardless of whether the soldiers were dead or alive, greedy for merit, and wiped out all the pirates who had become popular in just one year."

"It is indeed very brave, he can be called a good general." Xu Ruxin nodded and said.

"Hey, what kind of good general, it's just the right time and place, and he got shit luck." Cui Runuo said disdainfully, "Now the emperor summons him to Beijing, and he must be rewarded for his merits. What does the Marquis of Guang'an have? Have you ever said anything?"

"Father doesn't care about these things." Xu Ruxin put down his wine glass and stood up, "I also advise Mr. Cui to calm down, don't worry about what you shouldn't, and don't inquire about what you shouldn't know. You are the Ministry of Industry Shang Shu, it’s the flood season right now, and there’s a lot of rain this year, so I’m afraid the riverside will be unstable. This is your business, Master Cui, don’t mess it up.”

"Is there anything that can be messed up." Cui Runuo waved his hand, "It's not just the rule. The embankment should be strengthened again, but the emperor needs to allocate funds for the embankment to do it."

Xu Ruxin had nothing to say to him, walked to the side of the cabin, looked at the misty rain scene on the lake, but what he could think of was the figure standing in the rain with a vegetable basket in his arms and wearing a coir raincoat.

He is obviously a pampered and worthless little young master, but he has not been crushed in this catastrophe, and he can still stand in front of him with his head held high, without the slightest bit of shame, but there is contempt in his eyes, as if he was the one who was stripped naked The one who stepped on his feet with wealth and honor.

Xu Ruxin narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of rain and fog. The true meaning in that episode was hard to see clearly.

Fang Yuesheng nodded his head, and suddenly woke up from his drowsiness.The carriage was still standing still, but someone was talking softly outside.

"I have reported the situation of the battle to the Emperor Ming, and the Emperor will definitely reward you according to your merits. First, you take the soldiers out of the city to join the large army. Now stationed outside the capital, it is no better than in Jianzhou. You must be more careful everywhere. The barracks We must also strengthen our defenses here, and we must not cause trouble..."

It was Lingji's voice explaining in detail, Fang Yuesheng hurriedly opened the curtain and poked his head out.

The rain outside has stopped, and the cool air has a fresh smell, which refreshes people's spirits.

Seeing him, Ling Ji smiled at him: "Master, you must be tired, I'll send you back right away."

Zhao Xingwu and the soldiers around him looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't know why his general called this young man in coarse clothes the young master.

Fang Yuesheng nodded, and was about to get out of the car, Ling Ji hurried forward, and then his hand helped him down.

"Lingji." Fang Yuesheng stood in front of him, looked up at him, his eyes were still shining, and called out again.

Ling Ji smiled and agreed, and asked someone to bring his own horse, let Fang Yuesheng get on it first, and then he got on the horse again, pulled the rein, and drove the horse to a trot.

Fang Yueqi waited outside the Lin Mansion until the rain stopped at noon, when he saw Lin Xuanying in official uniform riding a horse back to the Lin Mansion from outside.

Fang Yueqi hurried over and shouted, "Lin Xuanying!"

Lin Xuanying turned her head and saw that it was him, and quickly jumped off the horse to meet him. Seeing Fang Yueqi's wet hair sticking to her cheeks, and her lips turning white from cold, she hurriedly took off her cloak and put it on Fang Yueqi.

"How long have you been standing in the wind? Why don't you go into the mansion." Lin Xuanying scolded lightly.

A warm feeling immediately enveloped his whole body. Although it was very warm and comfortable, Fang Yueqi remembered the scene of Ling Ji covering Fang Yuesheng with his cloak in his mind, which seemed very ambiguous.Lin Xuanying treated him like this, and Fang Yueqi's expression suddenly turned a little ugly.
