Marry the God of War Lord after rebirth

The Autumn Banquet is originally called the Autumn Banquet. It has been held since the founding of the Great Chu State. At first, some prestigious celebrities gathered and hosted scholars from all over the world. Travel around for a long time before returning home.

Until Emperor Gaozu succeeded to the throne, he was extremely displeased with this kind of large-scale gathering of scholars among the people. He always felt that these scholars were discussing government affairs indiscriminately, expressing their dislike for the court and dissatisfaction with him, and they would come out to make trouble one day.

Therefore, he handed over the autumn banquet to his favorite Princess Zhang Ping.

As a woman, Princess Zhang Ping would not allow all men to participate in the autumn banquet. She also summoned some well-learned and good-looking official ladies from Beijing.

Still unable to play and communicate everywhere, and can only be trapped near the outskirts of Beijing, this kind of autumn feast has changed its flavor in the eyes of many people.

Although there are many scholars who want to make friends with princesses and ladies from aristocratic families so that they can make a fortune, more people instinctively don't like being controlled by women, and they don't want to be judged by women and compared with others. There are fewer scholars enjoying the autumn feast.

Later, it was directly renamed the Pinqiu Banquet, and the emperor appointed the unborn princess to host it, and only unmarried men and women from the families of officials above the fifth rank in Beijing were invited to participate.

The former autumn banquet has become a feast for the rich and powerful that many people want to go to.

The Autumn Banquet is mainly a character. Those who want to get ahead can perform piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, song and dance at the banquet. In the end, each man and woman will choose the best person, and their poems or portraits will be hung on the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year. On the largest and highest moon lamp.

In that year, these two people must have been well-known in the capital, and those who proposed marriage could break their threshold.

Those who want to marry a good husband and a satisfactory wife will show their strength in those years.

Lin Xingzhi had been there a few times before, but at that time he was obsessed with reading. Except for reciting poems and composing Fu, he would win, and he had no intention of participating in the rest, so he hadn't won the first prize yet.

This year, he is already engaged, so he doesn't intend to show it.

On the contrary, Lin Wan, the little girl will start discussing marriage in less than two years, so she can go to broaden her horizons and get to know a few more handkerchiefs.

It's just that Lin Xingzhi always felt that this autumn banquet was a good time to make troubles. He was afraid that Chu Qin would take the opportunity to harm him and Lin Wan, so Lin Xingzhi went to encourage Chu Zhao, who had never been to a banquet, to join him. go.

After all, with his lord's skills, few people dare to act presumptuously in front of him.

Lin Xingzhi was guarding against something wrong at the Pinqiu banquet, but he didn't expect that something happened the day before going to the banquet.

On the seventh day of August, Lin Xingzhi had just come off duty, and before he had even walked out of the gate of the Imperial Academy, he heard Shi Yan calling him anxiously at the door, his face covered in sweat as he ran.

Lin Xingzhi immediately stepped up and walked to the gate, "But something happened?"

Shi Yan grabbed Lin Xingzhi and ran outside while pulling Lin Xingzhi. While running, he said to Lin Xingzhi, "Master, Miss is missing!"

Hearing the news suddenly, Lin Xingzhi was also stunned, "What's going on? Why did Wan'er disappear suddenly?"

Shi Yan said: "I didn't see you on the way to Zhou's house to see Mrs. Zhou Shao." After speaking, he urged Lin Xingzhi to get into the carriage quickly so that he could drive to find someone.

Hearing Mrs. Zhou, Lin Xingzhi suddenly understood something.

After getting into the carriage, Lin Xingzhi asked Shi Yan, "Who did Wan'er follow when she went to Zhou's house?"

"On weekdays, the two servant girls who serve the young lady follow along, and the eldest and young lady also sent a few guards to accompany them."

Lin Xingzhi's heart sank in half. Lin Wan was accompanied by maids and guards. Ordinary people could not touch her easily. Even if Chu Qin sent someone to arrest her, the one who suffered was not necessarily his sister.

After all, the two maidservants beside the little girl were raped by Mrs. Zhou himself, and the guards of the general's mansion are all his father's personal soldiers. They have good skills and quick reactions, so they are not so easy to deal with.

Moreover, Lin Xingzhi guessed that in order to deal with Father Lin and the others, most of Chu Qin's subordinates were sent out, and not many remained in the capital. Because they despised the little girl Lin Wan, among those who sent to kidnap her should be There will be no masters.

Lin Xingzhi asked Shi Yan to tell him the whole thing in detail.

Before Shi Yan came to pick him up, he had already inquired clearly, and immediately began to narrate after hearing the words.

This morning, Lin Xingzhi and his elder brother Lin Xiu went out on duty. Not long after, Mrs. Zhou also went shopping with his familiar wife.

Only Mrs. Xu, Xu Qiuniang, and Lin Wan were the only three masters left in the family. At this moment, someone from Zhou's natal family came, saying that their young wife had been frightened and had dystocia, and they might not be able to survive.

It was the Zhou family who gave birth to the child, and the Lin family knew each other, so they had no doubts.

As soon as she heard that she was about to die, Xu Qiuniang immediately sent her servants to look for Mrs. Zhou. She was also worried that she might not see Mrs. Zhou's wife for the last time, so Lin Wan proposed to bring more people to visit Mrs. Zhou first. Look, see if there's anything I can do to help.

Mrs. Xu was old and inconvenient to catch up with this urgent matter. Xu Qiuniang still had to take care of the children at home, just in case of any emergency, so she picked several good guards to go with Lin Wan.

Not long after, the servant who went to look for Mrs. Zhou came back and said that he had seen someone. As soon as Mrs. Zhou heard this, he went directly to Mrs. Zhou's house and asked him to report back.

Xu Qiuniang thought that with Mrs. Zhou around, nothing would happen.Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Mrs. Zhou sent someone to report back, saying that Mrs. Zhou's life was saved, but she and the child were both dead, and Mrs. Zhou would stay at Zhou's family for one more night to take care of her.

Seeing that the person who reported back did not mention Lin Wan, Xu Qiuniang asked a few more questions, and then learned that Lin Wan never went to Zhou's house.

They didn't even know that Lin Wan went to Zhou's house, and because of the young lady's dystocia, the doctor came several times. It was such a chaotic day that they didn't even notice that the messenger sent to the Lin's house didn't return.

Realizing that something might have happened to Lin Wan, Xu Qiuniang was about to arrange for someone to look for it, when someone shot a purse to the gate of the General's Mansion, which contained a piece of blood-stained clothes, which was exactly the same as the one Lin Wan wore when she went out.

After that, Xu Qiuniang arranged for the guards of the Lin family to search for the person, and Shi Yan immediately drove the carriage to pick up his young master.

Shi Yan drove the carriage quickly, and arrived at an alley in a short time, Shi Yan said: "Young master, this is the only way to go to Zhou's house, the young lady has already sent people to look for the young lady nearby."

Lin Xingzhi jumped out of the carriage and saw the blood on the wall at a glance. It was not much, but it was very fresh.

He walked a few steps forward along the bloodstain, and soon saw another place. Lin Xingzhi dipped some of it in his hand and put it in front of his nose to smell it. He smelled a fishy smell, which was quite familiar, like the chicken he usually eats.

At a glance, there are still many ahead, deliberately left for them to lead the way.

And it was obviously not the work of the people from the Lin family who came to search.

Lin Xingzhi instructed Shi Yan, "Go to the neighborhood and ask, who has lost chickens today, or someone has bought chickens, it is best to ask about the clothes and appearance."

Shi Yan refused to leave, worried that if he left, his young master might also be taken captive, after all compared to the young lady, the young master is the weakest person.

Lin Xingzhi stretched out his hand and pointed upwards, "Don't worry, didn't the prince arrange someone to follow me, no one can take me away."

"You don't need anyone else, I will personally protect you," Lin Xingzi said, when a familiar voice sounded behind him.

Lin Xingzhi turned his head, and sure enough, it was his prince who came.

Lin Xingzhi joked, "My lord is really well informed."

Holding a fan, Chu Zhaojin gradually approached Lin Xingzhi by fanning the wind, "The princess knows, and the king has always been well-informed. Besides, the younger sister is missing, and the king should contribute no matter what happens."

Lin Xingzhi urged Shi Yan to inquire quickly, then turned around and asked Chu Zhao: "Then, does the prince have any clues?"

Chu Zhao shook his head, "Not yet, but my little girl is smart, so she should leave something behind." At the same time, Chu Zhao pointed his fan at the blood on the ground, and there was a faint fragrance in the air .

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a shout from the front, "I found it, the carriage was found."

Lin Xingzhi immediately went forward, followed by Chu Zhao. He stopped and took a few more glances when passing by a courtyard.

Lin Xingzhi asked him, "Is there a problem?"

Chu Zhao shook his head, "I'm not sure yet, we'll talk about it after seeing the carriage."

The horse was nowhere to be seen, the carriage was overturned and smashed, and there was nothing inside but a note.

The guard handed the note to Lin Xingzhi, which said - tonight at midnight, the carriage will pick up the letter, if you don't come, you will die!

Lin Xingzhi's eyes were heavy, he crumpled the paper into a ball in his hands, and told the guards of the Lin family, "You keep looking, but remember not to reveal the news of Miss's disappearance."

Then he said to Chu Zhao, "Let's go back to the yard just now."

The lock of the courtyard door was broken by October with a knife, and there was no one inside, with cobwebs everywhere, as if no one had lived in it for a long time, only a series of footprints on the ground proved that people did come in and out from time to time.

The location of the small courtyard is also good. The door of the whole alley is opened towards the middle of the alley. Normally, people can only see if there is anyone in it when they pass by. If the surrounding residents do not come to check, they will not notice at all. .

To sum it up, it is very suitable for Tibetans or making troubles, which is very suspicious.

Lin Xingzhi walked in first, followed the footprints all the way to the end, all the things in the house were overturned on the ground, but they were placed on both sides very regularly, and the aisle in the middle was wide enough to accommodate three people walking side by side Touch the object next to it.

There must be a secret room or a secret passage in the house, Lin Xingzhi was sure, then turned his head to look at Chu Zhao who was walking side by side with him, "It seems to have discovered a terrible secret."

Chu Zhao smelled the same aroma as in the alley, nodded slightly, his eyes swept across the house, and finally fixed on the beam, where there was a small protruding piece of wood, which is difficult for ordinary people to detect, even if they see it, it is difficult to reach it block.

Under Chu Zhao's signal, Shi Yue jumped onto the beam, and when he was about to press the wooden block, he noticed with sharp eyes that there was more than one protruding wooden block on the beam, obviously this secret room was not so easy to open.

Chu Zhao asked, "How many places?"

Shi Yue replied: "Four places," and pointed out the location to his master.

Lin Xingzhi suddenly opened his mouth, commanding Shiyue, "press from left to right, don't make mistakes, there may be a trap."

Lin Xingzhi had never been to Chu Qin's secret room before, but the prince in his previous life had taken him to Prince An's Mansion, and he felt familiar from the moment he saw the secret room mechanism set up on the beam.

The prince trusted him very much at that time, not only told him what Chu Qin hid in the secret room of the royal palace, but also scolded Chu Qin for being stupid, because the secret room mechanism did not know how to design, every place had the same layout, and he guessed right.

He wanted to come to every place in his mouth, including this small courtyard.

Shi Yue looked at his master, and Chu Zhao nodded, "Do as the princess says."

So he flew around the beams like a shadow, and soon there was movement on the stone wall inside the house, and a door turned out.

Lin Xingzhi was about to go in first, but was stopped by Chu Zhao, "My king will go first." He kept walking, but he didn't let go of Lin Xingzhi's hand.

Maybe it was because he was often teased and asked to kiss and touch him, but now he just held hands, Lin Xingzhi was quite used to it, and followed Chu Zhao obediently.

In October, he held a fire fold to the queen.

As soon as they entered the secret room, the stone door closed by itself.

The secret road was a bit dark, long and seemingly endless, with oil lamps hanging on both sides, but Lin Xingzhi and the others didn't light it up, so they only walked forward with the faint light of the fire.

I also saw a few secret rooms on the way, but they were all empty without any clues.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, there was finally a light ahead, and human voices could be vaguely heard.

After walking out of the secret passageway, the three of them looked around, only to realize that they had left the city.

Lin Xingzhi sneered, "His Highness Wang An is really a powerful person, he just dug the secret passage out of the city, it is very convenient for rebellion."

Chu Zhao: "Otherwise, why do you think he went to such great lengths to dig such a secret passage?"

It is also enough to prove that Chu Qin has been planning a rebellion and eradicating his own father for a long time.

"I heard a voice just now, my little sister and the others should be nearby, let's find someone first." Anyway, the secret Taoist leader can't escape here.

October actively guided the way, "The voice came from behind the woods over there."

They were standing in a position where they could hear moderate screams.

The three of them walked towards the source of the sound, and soon saw a group of people. They thought that Miss Lin Wan, who had been kidnapped and disappeared, was stepping on the chest of a black-clothed man whose hands and feet were bound, and was whipping him with a whip. The person stepped on by her has a whipped face and a whipped leg, which is very fair.

He was still cursing ferociously, "I told you to kidnap this girl, and you dare to threaten me, heh, this girl will beat you into a pig's head today, so hard that your own mother won't recognize you!"

The strike was really heavy, and the man in black had no power to resist except screaming, which was quite refreshing to watch.

"Okay, take this one away and replace it with another one." When the beating was enough, Lin Wan waved the whip and ordered the replacement.

However, when he turned his head, the three people behind him broke into his eyes unexpectedly.

Lin Wan: ...

Lin Wan threw the whip, with a cute expression, "Then what, third brother, listen to me, I'm actually not such a person..." Do you believe it?
