I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Chapter 203: Self-Growing Wings

"Forgive me, if I were not here, the whip would have fallen on my wife. Where is the Yuanyang Army? Capture the rebels!" Song Shiqiu didn't even look at them. He turned his head to look at Lin Jin and asked in a gentle voice if he was injured.

Lin Jin didn't say anything, and pulled Yin Fushu up: "Sister, are you okay? I'm sorry, I was confused just now and angered her."

Yin Fushu shook his head slightly: "Nothing. Don't blame yourself. Even if you didn't say those words just now, I'm afraid that girl wouldn't let me go easily."

After Song Shiqiu gave the order, Tingyu Tower was surrounded by the Yuanyang Army. Xi Lilong tied up all the foreign envoys in Tingyu Tower. She bowed to Song Shiqiu and said, "Prime Minister, I will take my leave first."

Yan Sihuai waited until Xi Lilong left before he dared to come out of the crowd. He came here because he heard during the day that Xi Lilong was participating in a tea-drinking competition at the Zheqing Club. As soon as he arrived, he realized something was wrong. Although there were always many people at the Zheqing Club every year, this year there were especially many.

He and Xi Lilong had known each other since childhood, and he was the one who climbed over the wall to tell Xi Lilong the news about the Yuanyang Army. He knew better than anyone that Xi Lilong would never come to the Zheqing Society unless it was necessary.

"She is really getting more and more tough." This is the first time Yan Sihuai has seen Xi Lilong since she returned to Beijing. After all, even if Yan Sihuai sent a visiting letter in the past, Xi Lilong would say that she was too busy with military affairs to spare.

Lin Jin always felt that Yan Sihuai looked familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen him.

She shook her head without thinking too much, and then began to care about Song Shiqiu's situation: "Are you okay, sir? Are you injured?"

Song Shiqiu dropped the whip in his hand. His palm was fine except for a little redness. However, if he had not followed Lin Jin down, the consequences would have been different if the whip had landed on her.

"You're scared now, how dare you quarrel with others just now." Song Shiqiu helped Lin Jin to fix her crooked hairpin, "Why are you so reckless today?"

"I just don't like her." Lin Jin gritted his teeth, "Anyway, I will scold her again if it happens again."

"Nonsense, nothing is more important than yourself. Do I need you to quarrel with her while I am here?" Song Shiqiu scolded, but there was no displeasure on his face. His eyes fell on Yin Fushu, "Miss Yin."

Yin Fushu straightened his clothes and bowed to Song Shiqiu: "I, Yin Fushu, greet you, sir."

Song Shiqiu nodded: "No need to be polite."

"How about we talk for a minute?" Lin Jin saw many people looking at this place and thought that this was probably not a good place to talk. "Let's go to the private room and talk."

Because the trouble caused by the foreign envoys came and went as quickly as a thunderstorm, everyone began to discuss Fang Yuzhu's Hundred Flowers Order and the song that Yin Fushu had just played in the piano competition. If Hulu Fei had not added unnecessary details after winning the first place, her name might have been heard again.

But after Hulu Fei's scene, no one could appreciate the song of spring birds no matter how good it was. Gentlemen value their reputation and integrity, and they despise arrogance after winning or narrow-mindedness when losing.

"Miss Yin's skill in making hairpins is very good. My wife likes it very much." Song Shiqiu asked someone to serve tea to Yin Fushu, and he started by praising Yin Fushu, "But why did Miss Yin appear at Zheqing Club by such a coincidence?"

Lin Jin was drinking tea. Although she was not surprised at Song Shiqiu's behavior, she still wanted to say, "Sir, she just restored Da Xia's reputation. Isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?"

Is this self-confidence? Because of self-confidence, there is nothing to worry about.

Yin Fushu glanced at Lin Jin and smiled faintly: "The Zheqing Club is very lively today, and I came to take a look when I had nothing to do. Fushu has no intention of showing off, but he doesn't see the aggressiveness of the foreign countries."

"Miss, you have indeed made a contribution today. I wonder what you want." Song Shiqiu gave Lin Jin a look to calm her down.

Lin Jin pressed the corners of her lips, a little unhappy with Song Shiqiu's attitude. After all, Yin Fushu had just helped Daxia.

Yin Fushu's eyes flickered slightly, and after seeing Lin Jin's actions, the corners of his lips curled up again: "Fushu does have a favor to ask. The men's imperial examination has passed, and this year is the second women's imperial examination."

"You want to enter the women's college?" Song Shiqiu thought for a while. After today, Yin Fushu's reputation will definitely spread in the capital. It's not impossible, but he has to find out Yin Fushu's background first.

Yin Fushu shook his head and said, "Fushu will not enter the academy. Fushu wants a recommendation letter from you, so that Fushu can take part in the imperial examination."

Song Shiqiu's recommendation letter is different from that of ordinary people. It can make everyone feel good about it. As long as one has some talent, even if he cannot be granted a title or become a prime minister, it is not a problem for him to gain fame.

Song Shiqiu looked at Yin Fushu solemnly, wondering if he really just wanted to take the imperial examination or if he had more in mind. However, it was rare that he could not see through Yin Fushu: "Come to the Prime Minister's Mansion in three days to get it."

Never mind. If you don't have talent, you won't be able to get any important official position. If anyone has ill intentions, he can bring you down at any time. It's nothing more than recommending a book.

"Besides that, what else do you want?" Song Shiqiu was not a stingy person. He would not be stingy as long as it was reasonable.

Yin Fushu lowered his eyes: "I have no other requests."

"Many people want me to help them rise to the top. Do you really have nothing else to ask for besides recommending books?" Song Shiqiu seemed unconvinced. "If I miss this opportunity, there may not be a next one."

"If you can grow wings by yourself, why rely on the ladder? Thank you very much, sir." Yin Fushu drank the tea and said, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

She left decisively without any hesitation, just as she didn't need to say as much as she said.

Song Shiqiu then looked at Lin Jin and said helplessly: "Ajin, you really can meet strange people wherever you go."

Lin Jin glanced at him calmly, and ate the jujube paste cake sulkingly. Although it was not as delicious as Yipinzhai’s, it was still okay: “Where is Huaining?”

After she ran down just now, she seemed not to have seen Huaining.

"She said she left something behind and left first." Song Shiqiu smiled, "You're still angry about this? You and she just met by chance, and you got mad at me because of her."

As for Tu Huaining, he probably went to kill someone.

Song Shiqiu understood what was going on, and so did Lin Jin. She choked on her tea and said, "You're just going to let her go like this? Isn't this bad?"

What else could it be if it was Hulufei's life that was lost?

She looked at Song Shiqiu's indifferent expression and smacked her lips: "So, are you planning to go to war directly?"

"They don't want to start a war. Da Xia has strong soldiers and horses and will surrender voluntarily." They can only blame themselves for choosing Hulu Fei.

"Why are they still doing this futile act? Isn't that a bit stupid?" Lin Jin couldn't understand why they came to Zheqing Club to do this.

"If there was no piano competition today, do you know how much they could have gained just by relying on this piece of Spring Bird Song? Hulu Fei might have been acting out of spite, but the other envoys were not like that. They were just gambling. If they won, they would be great contributors to their country. If they lost, they would just lose. There was nothing to lose."

The only thing that Ambassador Zhe Qing did not expect today was that he would come in person, and he had even arranged for the Yuanyang Army to wait in secret.

"What about Sister Yin Fushu? Why are you so fierce?" Lin Jin didn't understand what was going on, but she believed what Song Shiqiu said.

"She is not an ordinary orphan. She must have learned the piano from a great master. Moreover, she is polite in her speech and knows when to act. This girl is not simple." Song Shiqiu has seen a lot of people over the years. If Yin Fushu had not shown off her piano skills, he would not have been so sure.

"A deep pool has a bottom, but the human heart is immeasurable."

"Who would dare to sell an ordinary velvet hairpin for one tael of silver? Only a fool like you would buy it."
