Chapter 512 Journey to Mount Tai
Chapter 5 and five of Taishan Journey
Lin Xiaoyao and others saw that the emperor was in a good mood, so naturally they would not touch the emperor's bad luck, and they are also people with extremely high emotional intelligence. Naturally, they would say what they should say and do what they should do at the wine table, so Everyone at the feast of wine and food was very happy, and the goal of the emperor and his ministers having fun together was finally achieved.

After drinking and eating, the emperor ordered people to remove the food and drink before talking about business.

"Happy boy"

"The humble minister is here" Lin Xiaoyao hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed. Although he and the emperor are always joking and joking, when there are outsiders around, he will still be very serious, and he will give the emperor a lot of face.

The emperor nodded, and said very calmly: "I heard that you seconded 1000 troops from the Condor Army last night, is there such a thing?"

When Lin Xiaoyao heard this, he didn't panic at all. Lin Qingtian had already told him about this in advance, so he was well prepared.

"Report to the emperor, but there is such a thing." Lin Xiaoyao replied.

"Then do you know that it's against the rules to do so?" The emperor's tone was still very calm, making it impossible to deduce his thoughts from his tone.

Lin Xiaoyao nodded, his face remained unchanged, and said: "Reporting to the emperor, Xiaoyao has neglected this matter, but the emperor also knows the situation of Jinyiwei. Recently, Jinyiwei needs to do a lot of things, but manpower is very short, so I boldly borrowed thousands of people, wanting them to help Jin Yiwei to deal with the matter, but it was late last night, and the emperor had to get up early to hurry, I was afraid of disturbing the emperor's rest, so I didn't report it in time, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."

When the emperor heard Lin Xiaoyao's words, he was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "Although you have something wrong with this matter, you are also thinking about me and the stability of Daxia, and you have also made meritorious service in solving the case of the Black Tiger Gang's annihilation. , I will not reward or punish you, so be it.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lin Xiaoyao bowed again, bowed and walked back to the original place. In fact, he felt that no matter what he said, the emperor would say this sentence. It seemed that he would not reward or punish him, but he was actually hinting to himself, just let it go. , Let go and fight!No reward, no punishment, hehe, no reward, no punishment...

After the emperor asked Yu Yunwen and Lin Qingtian some matters about the trip to Mount Tai, he said that he was a little tired and asked everyone to leave.

After leaving the emperor's tent, Yu Yunwen and Lin Qingtian left with excuses, leaving only Zhao Letian and Lin Xiaoyao wandering around.

Since it is already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the moon is almost the smallest crescent, and there seems to be a thick fog in the sky. Both the moon and the stars are faintly visible, and the whole world seems to be hidden in darkness.

Looking into the distance from the camp, the rolling hills looked like dormant beasts. No one knew when they would suddenly wake up, and then open their bloody mouths to devour everyone.

Compared with the mountains in the distance, the camp is still very bright. Each torch shines in the dark night, like tiny stars, burning themselves and illuminating others.

Lin Xiaoyao hasn't chatted with Zhao Letian like this for a long time, and the two rarely see each other. Everyone has their own things to do, and everyone is under various pressures. Come on, there is not much time to breathe the free air like now.

After not seeing each other for many days, Zhao Letian's face lost a trace of smile and gained a trace of sadness. He had always had a sad look on his face after he came out of the emperor's tent.

"Hey, I said big brother, if you don't want to relax with me, you can go back! You will sigh with me for a while, sigh for a while, and you are still depressed, and your face is as long as a donkey. You owe me You don't pay back the money." Lin Xiaoyao said helplessly seeing that Zhao Letian ignored him at all.

"Second brother, how do you know what I'm thinking? You haven't paid back the 1 taels you borrowed from me last year. If you don't tell me, I'm really embarrassed to mention it."

Zhao Letian forced a smile on his face and said.

Lin Xiaoyao: "..."

"Hehe, I owe you money, and I still owe you wool, right?" Lin Xiaoyao turned around and walked towards his camp without looking back.

"Don't, I'm just kidding, why are you so serious!" Zhao Letian quickly grabbed Lin Xiaoyao's arm and said with a smile.

"I don't owe you money?" Lin Xiaoyao stopped, looked at Zhao Letian expressionlessly, and said.

Zhao Letian shook his head resolutely and said, "No owe!"

"Then you owe me the money?" Lin Xiaoyao continued to say expressionlessly.

"what?"

"You mean you don't owe me?" Lin Xiaoyao didn't say anything nonsense to him, shrugged, and walked back again.

"Hey...don't, I owe, can't I still owe it!" Zhao Letian felt stupid, really stupid, knowing that Lin Xiaoyao is a master who never suffers, why should he open this with him? joke!This is great, I will be slaughtered again.

"Then write an IOU..." Lin Xiaoyao seemed to be paralyzed, his face still expressionless.

"Uh...Second brother, don't you need to do this? You still can't trust your brother?" Zhao Letian was speechless.

Only then did Lin Xiaoyao start laughing, turned around, put his arms around Zhao Letian's neck, and said, "Are you feeling better now?"

Hearing Lin Xiaoyao's words, Zhao Le knew that Lin Xiaoyao was only teasing himself like this to make him happy, but let alone, after Lin Xiaoyao's jokes, his mood was really not so heavy up.

"You kid..." Zhao Letian slapped Lin Xiaoyao's chest with some emotion, his heart was really warm beyond words.

"Brother, what's going on? I haven't seen you for a few days. Why do you feel like you are more experienced than me?" Lin Xiaoyao asked with a smile.

"I'm older than you, am I better than you?" Zhao Letian rolled his eyes at Lin Xiaoyao, and then sighed. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, and then said, "You didn't notice just now, Father's body is getting more and more haggard..."

"I also discovered that the emperor's illness is indeed very serious, and it's been a long journey, so it's no wonder he's not haggard."

Lin Xiaoyao didn't have the slightest scruples in front of Zhao Letian, he said whatever was on his mind, and he didn't hide the slightest bit about the emperor.

Zhao Letian also believed in Lin Xiaoyao, and he nodded his head and said, "That's true. Before I set off, I went to the imperial doctor and asked them about my father's condition..."

"What did the doctor say?"

Zhao Letian frowned, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He sighed again and said: "The imperial doctor said that my father can no longer work too hard, otherwise he may only have... half a year to live..."
