Chapter 236: Stealing Silver from Lin'an
The man coughed twice and said he was leaving. Princess, remember, remember, you will stay here. Don't run around.
Not long after he finished speaking, the man lay down motionless.
The little girl was still muttering, but seeing that the man had no response, no matter how she called out, she burst into tears immediately.
At this time, the constable who came from Baoji arrived. After the honest guard explained the situation clearly, he ordered: The third young master has instructed that if no one takes care of this young lady , she should be sent to Madam Fenghuang in Fengxiang Mansion.
Then, the guards mounted their horses, said goodbye, and chased after the team.
The girl who was sitting on the ground crying has stopped crying and asked if it was the Third Young Master who saved her just now?
Is it really the Third Young Master?
When the constable saw this unreasonable girl, he said unhappily: "Only our third young master can easily smash the thief's skull from a hundred and fifty steps away."
If not him, who else could it be?
After hearing this, the girl started jumping on the ground and crying, saying how her luck was so bad, that the Third Young Master had abandoned her before he could even warm her up and ran off with the female witch, wuwu, wuwu.
The constable didn't care about her. He lifted the body onto the cart, put the injured and her into the carriage, and rode them to the government office to investigate the case.
Zhao Yulin was delayed by an unexpected incident on the road, so he hastily stayed in Mei County and set off again the next morning. When he helped Xiao Yan onto the horse again, the little girl had gradually gotten used to it and no longer made hums and ahs.
Xiao Yan followed Zhao Yulin on the road, her mind still reminiscing about yesterday's princess hug. She thought that the Third Young Master must care about her from the bottom of his heart.
Otherwise, why would the young master immediately hug her and ask her all kinds of questions as soon as she snorted?
Also, last night Zhao Yulin instructed Luo Mingqiu in front of Xiao Yan, asking him to supervise Xiao Yan to exercise, eat more, and add an egg every morning.
That's so thoughtful.
Xiao Yan felt secretly delighted and gently waved the whip. The pony quickly trotted forward and caught up, moving even closer behind Zhao Yulin's horse.
Haha, women’s hearts are like needles in the sea.
Zhao Yulin ran ahead without letting his horse run free, and had no idea what the girl behind him was thinking in her mind.
It was getting dark when we finally arrived at Chang'an City.
Ma Linger met him at the Ten-Li Pavilion outside the city gate. Zhao Yulin said with a hint of reproach, "You are an old couple, why did you come so far out of the city?"
It’s dark now, it’s so dangerous.
Ma Ling said with a laugh that at present in Guanzhong, people could leave their doors unlocked at night and no one would pick up things on the roads, so it was very safe.
He asked back, "Safe? We encountered a murder on the way here, how can there be 100% safety? It's better to be cautious."
Ma Ling'er knew that Zhao Yulin was protecting him, so she nodded in agreement and asked him where he was attacked? Where did the murder happen?
Zhao Yulin smiled and said that it had nothing to do with here, it was something over at Fengxiang Prefecture.
The two of them entered the government office talking and laughing. After Zhao Yulin bathed and changed his clothes, he came out. The maid had already served wine and food, and the family began to eat.
He asked Wu Yuqi if she was satisfied with having a son this time. The woman's face immediately flushed and she handed him a large piece of fat meat and asked him to eat it.
Ma Linger immediately shouted: "Feed him, block his mouth."
Zhao Yulin was very happy to have two sons, but he was too busy to name them yet.
Wu Yuqi told him: The two sisters went to Mount Zhongnan, and her father Hu Yidao took charge and asked Taoist Zeng to give them two names. Her child was named Zhao Guangyuan, and Ma Ling's was named Zhao Guangyuan. Is that okay?
Zhao Yulin immediately raised his glass to congratulate them, saying what a wonderful relationship they had. His child had inherited the spiritual energy of Mount Zhongnan and would surely have great fortune in the future and live a long life.
Yuqi left before finishing her meal to work overtime at Shunfeng.
Zhao Yulin watched her leave with a smirk, understood her meaning, and accompanied Ma Ling for a walk in the yard.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the nights in Chang'an have grown cooler, and the leaves of the locust trees are fluttering down in the breeze.
Ma Ling'er smiled and said, "It's cold, let's go inside."
The couple went back to the room and quickly turned off the oil lamp. After a while, the big bed under them began to shake rhythmically.
After a while, the woman let out a long breath and huddled in his arms to pretend to sleep. She asked him why he didn't say anything, and asked if he hadn't served her well. She didn't have as many tricks as the girl.
Zhao Yulin gently pinched her breasts, and the woman moaned and leaned closer.
He asked if you were jealous?
Although there is no distinction between wife and concubine, she is still the boss of the family. Who would disagree with that?
The woman giggled in his arms.
Zhao Yulin said that she didn't have many tricks, but her husband had many tricks. If you don't believe it, try it.
He then activated his claws and launched an attack. The woman immediately cried out in pain and giggled. The couple soon started fighting again.
In the imperial city of Dali Kingdom, Duan Xiaolin and Zhao Sihan were also having a night chat.
Zhao Sihan blamed her old man for being too naive, and the young emperor of Dali actually secretly ordered his army to march westward and compete with the Shenwei Army for Tubo's territory.
At this time, Tubo was full of kings of varying sizes. How could it withstand the sudden attack from the Dali Kingdom's new army armed with new weapons?
The Dali army rushed into the Tubo border for hundreds of miles before setting up camp. A few days later, news came that the Shenwei Army had moved westward to Queer Mountain.
Duan Xiaolin didn't care. He was certainly right to look at the issue from the perspective of Dali Kingdom. Why could only the Shenwei Army occupy the territory of Tubo Kingdom?
The Dali Kingdom had suffered enough from the bullying of the Tubo Kingdom in the past. Now that they have become powerful, can't they cut off a piece of meat and come back to taste it?
Zhao Sihan grew up and was already a mother of two children. She certainly knew her brother's great talent and strategy. In the future, Dali would be unified within the territory of Huaxia. The small Dali Kingdom had no people and no money, so why would it fight with her brother for the world?
The couple had a disagreement and fell asleep back to back.
The sky in Guanzhong in the north brightened first.
Ma Linger was still sleeping soundly, Zhao Yulin had quietly got up and went out, and Yuqi was practicing outside.
The woman asked him in an understanding tone: Brother, you get up so early, why don’t you spend more time with your sister?
Zhao Yulin walked over to her with a smile and said: Ling'er is out of energy, why don't we go back and catch up on some sleep?
Wu Yuqi was so scared that she ran away immediately.
He went back to the kitchen to prepare some fried eggs and brought them into the house. The woman was still lying there lazily.
Zhao Yulin reached his hand into the quilt and tickled the soles of her feet, and Ma Linger immediately turned over and sat up.
It turns out that he woke up early.
He nodded and asked her to sit up. He fed the woman mouthful by mouthful before leaving. Ma Linger shed tears of happiness.
After breakfast, Xiao Yan reported that General Miao had sent someone to ask if the young master was free in the morning. He had something to discuss.
Zhao Yulin said that Lao Miao could have come to the rescue sooner or later, so when did he ask others to wait?
Ma Ling'er said that it was because Brother Miao knew that his brother had just arrived and was waiting for him intentionally.
He immediately ordered someone to invite the chief military officer, went back to the house, dressed neatly, and sat down in the small living room.
Just as the tea was brewed, Miao Gui came in quickly.
Zhao Yulin asked what was the hurry, and the elder brother seemed to be running over.
Miao Gui smiled and said, "No, it's not like that, I just walked a little fast."
He said that we are friends and we can talk about it sooner or later, so why do we need to send someone to ask first?
Miao Gui said with a smile that the young master had just returned and must have a lot of private things to talk about with the sisters-in-law, so why should his brother delay?
Zhao Yulin laughed out loud when he heard this, and even said that his brother understood. He had been nagging for the whole night and still hadn’t said enough, so he had to continue tonight.
Now it was Miao Gui's turn to laugh.
He asked us to talk about business, there was no rush.
Miao Gui immediately looked at Xiao Yan, who was three steps away. The little girl had a flushed face and was standing there shyly.
Zhao Yulin said it’s okay, just say whatever you want.
Miao Gui said that it was about Xiao Yan. An official document came from the Privy Council, and Xiao Yan was to be taken to Lin'an for trial. What should he do?
When Xiao Yan heard that Lin'an was going to arrest her and punish her, she trembled all over and was stunned.
She already knew that the emperor was her father. As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. What was wrong with this emperor that he wanted to escort her back to be punished?
Zhao Yulin called Xiao Yan to his side and said that we don't need to pay attention to the Privy Council. He has already written a memorial, asking for no reward from the King of Shu, and requesting the emperor to pardon Xiao Yan's guilt. Isn't that enough?
Miao Gui's eyes widened in shock, and he asked him how he could just give up the reward from the King of Shu? It was a great gift from the government.
He smiled and said that it was all empty talk and had no practical significance. We just need to do our own work well.
Miao Gui asked if we should make a gesture here to prevent those old scholars who are loyal to the royal family from spitting at our Shenwei Army.
Zhao Yulin shook his head and said no, he looked up and asked Xiao Yan, are you willing to change your military uniform and wear red makeup for a few days?
The young woman looked at him in confusion.
Zhao Yulin said that he just wanted to temporarily relieve himself of his military post and put on girls' clothes to stay with him.
Xiao Yan immediately nodded happily in agreement. She just wanted to stay with Zhao Yulin now.
This problem has been solved.
Seeing that Miao Gui still had doubts, Zhao Yulin said that there was nothing to worry about and he would explain it to General Cao . If someone from the court came to inquire, he would say that we have already dismissed Xiao Yan from her military post.
Miao Gui nodded and told him that the military situation was serious. The soldiers in the big tent summarized various intelligence and analyzed them. They concluded that the northern barbarians were very likely to attack from the east this year. Miao Gui told him that he had recently received a secret letter from the Beggars' Sect, which revealed that Hubili and the eldest prince of the grassland had secretly arrived at the Shandong Lu Wang's place, and that the Shandong Mongolian army was secretly gathering southward.
However, the Mongolian army in Nanyang changed its commander, Kuoduan was in charge of the army, and there was a possibility of attacking Xixia Town, the core of the Southern Group. The Mongolian army in Lingzhou was also conducting drills in an organized manner, and was getting closer to Guyuan City.
Zhao Yulin thought for a while and said: He still believed that before the Mongol army's Western Expedition Army returned, they would not launch a large-scale attack on the Qin Gong area . Because they had already tasted the bitter fruit, they lost more than they won in the battle with less than 100,000 troops, and it was impossible for them to do such a loss-making business.
However, the Mongolian army may erode our local defensive weaknesses, just like we took over their individual states and counties, so we must be prepared.
Next, let’s analyze the middle battle zone.
After expanding to Nanyang, will they attack Xixia?
