Chapter 66
Chapter 66
After the discussion, Chu Zhao carried Lin Xingzhi back to his room. He still held a letter in his hand, which was given to Chu Zhao by the messenger soldier who came back from northern Shanxi, saying that General Xue asked him to deliver it on his behalf.
After returning to the room, Chu Zhao asked someone to bring dinner, and he asked Lin Xingzhi to eat first, while he sat aside and read the letter.
Lin Xingzhi didn't move, Chu Zhao read the letter, and he looked at Chu Zhao.
I don't know what was written in that letter. Lin Xingzhi saw that his prince had the same expression from opening the letter to reading it from beginning to end-casual sarcasm.
Seeing Lin Xingzhi staring at him, Chu Zhao was a little amused, and handed him the letter, "So curious?"
Lin Xingzhi nodded slightly, "Fortunately, I was just looking at you."
"What are you looking at, my lord?" Chu Zhao suddenly stretched out his hand, rolled Lin Xingzhi over, and let him sit on his lap.
"You look good," Lin Xingzhi said as a matter of course, "Don't you know that I have been greedy for your body."
It seems to be more hungry after eating and touching.
Perhaps because he has done such shameful things, Lin Xingzhi gradually became bolder.
Of course, after this idea came up, he was still a little embarrassed, and felt that he was even more hooligan than Chu Zhao, like a little girl.ghost.
After the two got closer, Chu Zhao could sense any change in Lin Xingzhi. He lifted Lin Xingzhi's chin and said helplessly, "It's just because I bullied you just now, so I can't do anything to you now. You just Deliberately tease me, wait for the next time..."
Lin Xingzhi blinked, "I won't be afraid next time, anyway, you won't hurt me."
He took it for granted, which made Chu Zhao's teeth itch, "You, I'll just rely on this king to favor you."
Lin Xingzhi hooked his neck with a smile, "Well, I rely on you to spoil me."
Lin Xingzhi looked at the letter with his head resting on Chu Zhao's shoulder in this posture.
This is a secret letter from the capital, to the effect that Xue Cang will win a beautiful battle this winter, replace Chu Zhao in the Northern Jin Army and the common people, and take full control of the Northern Jin Army until things come to fruition. , the imperial court must have a heavy reward.
Although there is no signature, there is only one person in the world who dares to make such a promise and speak in this tone, Emperor Jianyuan.
Lin Xingzhi complained: "I really can't wait."
In the north of Shanxi where the letters and supplies arrived, no one expected a snowstorm at that time, which made Xijie's attack on Dachu suspicious.
But, "An emperor is not stupid enough to collude with an enemy country to attack his own country, just to support a new general and then get rid of you?"
Emperor Jianyuan would not, but there are others.
But who it is, we have to check to find out.
After all, from the present point of view, no one seems to be able to do such a thing. The crown prince and King Qi are different from Chu Qin. It is the throne.
"Huh? No," Lin Xingzhi thought again, and he stepped back, cupping Chu Zhao's face and looking at him.
Chu Zhao nodded lightly, "Well, I'm the one who said they died together."
Therefore, this is another conspiracy against Chu Zhao.
The former god of war, King Li, who was repeatedly attacked, wanted to attract attention again, so he communicated with enemies inside and outside, hoping that Xijie would defeat the northern Jin army, and then let him turn the tide and prove his importance, making people feel like a big Chu Inseparable, so, his position in the entire Great Chu is very important.
After all, in the past, when he was in danger, he led the army to defeat Xijie, and then became famous in the first battle. In another five years, he completely became the God of War in the hearts of the people in northern Shanxi.
Now it's just a retreading of the road of the past, it is not difficult for His Royal Highness Li Wang, as long as it succeeds, everything will be different.
Presumably, when the news of collaborating with the enemy and treason spread, many people's first reaction would be that Chu Zhao did it.
Of course, what the people behind the scenes want is not for Chu Zhao to become a god again, but for people to pull Chu Zhao down from the position of the God of War, and when he is finally sentenced for his crimes, they will use it to mock his arrogance and make everyone laugh. I know, without Chu Zhao, the border gates of Da Chu can still be guarded.
Cultivating and recruiting Chu Zhao's former subordinates and letting them replace them is exactly like what Emperor Jianyuan would do.
Lin Xingzhi touched Chu Zhao distressedly, and felt that it was not enough to poison Emperor Jianyuan, and he had to do something, preferably the kind that would make him miserable.
Lin Xingzhi began to think about how to do this.
Chu Zhao patted his face, "It's okay, as long as his plan can come true," Chu Zhao was already ready to watch the show.
He really wanted to know how Emperor Jianyuan would react when he found out that Xue Cang belonged to him when he was impatient to get rid of him.
Maybe a mouthful of old blood is sprayed out directly, the picture should be pretty good.
Seeing the anticipation on Chu Zhao's face, Lin Xingzhi felt that they were all pretty bad.
Bad enough to be a match made in heaven.
The two of you just looked at me and I saw your smile crooked for a while, and then went to eat.
After eating, Lin Xingzhi started to feel sleepy again. At this moment, he suddenly had a small temper. He stared at Chu Zhao, "Since getting married, the farthest place I've been to is your study." Still being carried on his back, holding back.
He accused Chu Zhao, "Are you so anxious that I can't even get out of bed!"
Chu Zhao nodded and said, "If possible."
And asked him, "Is that okay?"
"Fuck!" Lin Xingzhi threw a pillow at him.
Chu Zhaozhen thinks that his concubine's marriage is like a cat spirit. When she is good, she can be so cute that your heart will melt. When she is angry, she looks fierce. In fact, she is not threatening. The most important thing is to satisfy him.
So Chu Zhao started to smooth his hair, stroking Lin Xingzhi's back and moving up and down, it was really like stroking a cat, Lin Xingzhi also felt very comfortable being touched, and became more and more drowsy.
"Sleep, I have to go back tomorrow," Chu Zhao planned to be more active, trying to make a better impression on his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Lin Xingzhi didn't respond, but just rubbed his face against the pillow, looking extraordinarily well-behaved.
Chu Zhao stared at his sleeping face for a while, and then lay down.
……
The next day
The news of the snowstorm at the border and the invasion of the Xijie army still spread. When Lin Xingzhi and Chu Zhao arrived at the general's mansion, Lin's father had not returned home. According to Lin's second brother, they were left behind to discuss the departure back to the northwest border.
Lin Xingzhi cast a sympathetic look at his second brother, "Then second brother, you have to go back to the northwest with Dad, what should you do, you didn't get married this time."
Lin Qi: "... Do you think I will hit my brother?"
Lin Xingzhi hid behind Chu Zhao, and even made a face at Lin Qi, "Second Brother, I have someone backing me now, you can't beat me."
That look was so cheap, Lin Qi felt that he couldn't bear it, so he proposed a one-on-one challenge with Chu Zhao, "I let you escape on the day of marriage, and I just made up for it today."
Of course, as an uncle, he must be more polite to his brother-in-law, and then Lin Qi called his elder brother Lin Xiu, ready to have a two-on-one with Chu Zhao.
Chu Zhao: "..." My uncles really love him deeply.
He thought he should have left a good impression by inviting him to a wedding banquet last time?
His two uncles told him with practical actions, no!
The three met in the martial arts field, Lin Xingzhi and others were watching the battle, and they also prepared melon seed snacks and hot tea, and there was a brazier in front of their feet, which was an excellent experience.
Chu Zhao looked at his concubine, who was very happy eating snacks, and then at the two uncles in front of him who were clearly about to beat him, and compromised, okay, as long as the concubine is happy.
Chu Zhao is good at kungfu, and the Lin brothers are also good. All three of them have been on the battlefield. What they learned is not those fancy and beautiful moves, but all of them are used to save their lives and kill the enemy. It's more ruthless and wild.
"If this is a battlefield, what do you think they will do?"
When Lin Xingzhi was watching vigorously, a voice suddenly sounded beside his ears. He heard the sound and turned his head to see Mrs. Zhou coming at some time.
Lin Xingzhi answered her question, "I will never die."
The main general fights, either dies or is injured, or uses the lives of countless soldiers in exchange for his escape.
It won't be easy after all.
"Yes," Zhou nodded, and sat down next to Lin Xingzhi, "but there are always people who like to start wars."
They play tricks and use other people's lives as bargaining chips. They stand in high positions and should bear heavy responsibilities, but they just put more pressure on the people at the bottom.
Lin Xingzhi asked, "Does mother know?"
Zhou said: "Your father also received the news last night that the Northwest Army's food and grass are also running low."
Mrs. Zhou looked at Lin Xingzhi seriously, "Without you, people bought food and clothes, the soldiers still don't know what to do this year."
Except when the war is urgent, it is common for food and military pay to be delayed, and it is thankful to be able to arrive.It is also the habit of these years that has caused the current situation.
Because of the heavy snow, this year's grain and grass arrived later than in previous years. After the counting was over, it was too late to send the news back to the capital.
"Then dad wants to go back to the northwest right away?"
Zhou: "Go, he has guarded that place for so many years, and he can't let it go. Besides, since he has become the general, it is his responsibility. He can't be like some dog. "
Lin Xingzhi guessed who the dog was, and Lin Xingzhi felt that the prince of his family could get into his mother's eyes, maybe because they scolded someone hard enough.
Not noticing what Lin Xingzhi was thinking about, Zhou continued to say: "But I won't go easily, and I won't do anything if I don't have what I should give."
According to Emperor Jianyuan's original idea, Qiu Lie would clean up the Lin family as soon as he came back, but because he was threatened by Chu Zhaoyi not to cause any problems in his marriage, Emperor Jianyuan did not dare to move the Lin family.
What I thought before was to wait until Lin Xingzhi married into Prince Li's mansion, but as a result, the border war broke out, and Emperor Jianyuan didn't dare to attack the Lin family casually.
Not only dare not, but now I have to ask for help.
It's frustrating to think about it.
After hearing what Zhou said, Lin Xingzhi immediately gave her some advice, "Mother is right, you must have what you need. If you don't give it, we will go all over the street to publicize that he will not give food or military pay, and wait until the common people are satisfied." Got it, let's see how he ends up."
Zhou raised his chin and said confidently, "Don't worry, we won't suffer."
Otherwise, let the old emperor go there by himself.
The mother and son are talking here, and the contest between Chu Zhao and the three of them is over. His Royal Highness King Li has never fought against two uncles who teamed up. The appearance of patting each other also enhanced the relationship.
Lin Xingzhi leaned over and asked Chu Zhao, "Apart from the corner of the mouth, where is the injury? Is it serious? Do you want to call a doctor?"
Chu Zhao shook his head, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt, brothers have a sense of proportion."
Lin Xingzhi looked at his two elder brothers. The elder sister-in-law had already gone to his elder brother, wiping his face with a handkerchief, and the second elder brother, when Lin Xingzhi looked over, met his eyes, staring more than anyone else. Big eyes.
He also said in a disdainful tone, "I'm going to call a doctor just after being punched like this, so I'm not a man anymore?"
Lin Xingzhi: ...
He asked Chu Zhao, "What do you say?"
Chu Zhao said firmly, "No!"
Lin Xingzhi: "Oh..." childish.
After the fight, Lin Xingzhi's two older brothers saw Chu Zhao more pleasing to the eye, and finally the three of them even made an appointment to go to the room and close the door to give themselves medicine.
The man's damn face.
Lin Xingzhi, who is also a man, did not understand at this moment.
He went to talk to Xu Wenyan.
Xu Wenyan came here specially to share the good news with Lin Xingzhi, and the first thing he said when he saw someone was, "I'm going to have a younger brother!"
The second sentence is, "I'm going to have a daughter-in-law soon!"
Lin Xingzhi felt uncomfortable being shaken by his arm, and it took him a long time to hold back two words, "Congratulations."
Xu Wenyan continued to shake him, "Same joy, same joy, cousin, you and His Highness King Li should work harder."
Lin Xingzhi didn't know, so he said, "What are you doing harder?" They were already married.
Xu Wenyan gestured at him, "My child."
Lin Xingzhi: ...
"We are all men, we can't have children!" Lin Xingzhi suspected that he was mentally ill.
But Xu Wenyan didn't think so. He clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky, "Cousin, sincerity will lead to success, nothing is impossible."
Lin Xingzhi: Very good, it is confirmed, but the brain is sick.
Lin Xingzhi pushed him away in disgust, "Stay away from me, don't infect me."
Xu Wenyan was in a good mood, he didn't care about this cousin who only had men, and walked away happily. He had to find other people to share his happy event.
Lin Xingzhi rolled his eyes speechlessly, but his hand was suddenly pulled away, and at the same time, a voice sounded, "I think what my cousin said makes sense, why don't we try more, maybe we will get it?"
After smelling it, Lin Xingzhi knew who was behind it, and he gave Chu Zhao his supercilious eyes.
And said, "Okay, just try it, anyway, if I can't conceive, you will give birth by yourself!"
