Please exchange your majesty for the tiger talisman

Qianzhou prefecture.

There was a heavy rain last night, and the blooming roses in the yard fell here and there. The little girls picked up the petals with pity, and planned to dry them and make them into sachets.

It was a new day, and Lin Zhiling hammered new nails into the pillar. Counting them one by one, there were more than 66, that is, three full years had passed.

"It's been three years..." Lin Zhiling leaned weakly against the pillar, feeling the pain in her abdomen.Three years is enough to fill Qianzhou's granary and support soldiers and horses, but she doesn't have enough confidence to wait for the fish to return.She clutched her lower abdomen tightly to relieve the soreness. When she saw the falling flowers all over the ground, she couldn't help thinking of herself. Before she had fully bloomed once, she would face aging.

"Feng Gu, come and drink some medicine." Zhen Bing ran from outside and brought Lin Zhiling a bowl of soup and medicine, interrupting her "little girl" melancholy.

Only during menstruation, she is as demure as a woman.

Lin Zhiling recovered from her depression, and quickly cleaned up her haggard and charming posture. She never showed her weakness in front of others.But after taking a look at the dark soup, there was an unpleasant smell, and he said disgustedly, "What is this?"

"Eh..." Zhen Bing lowered his head shyly, embarrassed to say so, he just persuaded, "Gu Feng, just drink it."

Lin Zhiling forced herself to stand upright, and stood with her hands behind her back: "If you don't tell me, I won't drink."

In order for Lin Zhiling to drink it, Zhen Bing put on a hard face and said shyly: "I... Forget it, I know that you have been unwell for the past few days, so I asked the doctor to grab some medicine for warming the palace. You drink it, and it won't hurt after drinking it. gone."

Thinking that Zhen Bing was more like a woman, she blushed as she spoke.

"You... I want you to remember?" Lin Zhiling glared at him angrily and happily, took the soup and drank it rudely, refusing on the surface, but accepting it gladly in her heart. "When did you put your mind on big things?"

Seeing that Lin Zhiling had finished drinking, Zhen Bing's mood also improved, and he said frankly: "The matter of Feng Gu is the biggest matter."

When Lin Zhiling heard this, her heart skipped a beat. The hot soup she drank seemed to flow through her internal organs, warming her cold limbs.Looking at the flowers knocked down by the wind again, I feel like them, unfortunately abandoned but fortunately picked up by caring people.She couldn't tell the truth, but she thought a lot about it in a blink of an eye.

Lin Zhiling looked at Zhuzi and fell into deep thought. His father once said that if Youyu didn't come back for three years, he should be punished.Now three years have passed, and there is still no news from him, and the people around him love him deeply, so why should he wait any longer.It is undeniable that with Zhen Bing's care, her heart is as warm as spring.

That's it, just keep doing it. "Bing..."

For the first time, Lin Zhiling felt that it was difficult to express, her face suddenly became hot, not because of the wind and sun, but because of her heart beating.

"What's the matter, Aunt Feng?"

Lin Zhiling made up her mind to pierce the bottom line, held her breath and said in one go, "Will you marry me?"

Zhen Bing was stunned for a moment, as if his ears were playing a big joke with him.Although he had fantasized about such a scene many times, when it really came, he was at a loss.She is Princess Chen, the wife of Prince Chen, and Prince Chen is kind to him.He originally wanted to be wishful thinking for the rest of his life, and he never dared to hope that she would like him, but now it's difficult, he didn't expect her to like him, this is how he chooses, he can't bear it if he refuses, and it would be a disrespect for a monarch and his ministers to accept it.

But he definitely didn't dare to hesitate, because Lin Zhiling didn't like a dilly-dallying temper.Now that the whereabouts of the fish are unknown, and the childish spirit has been reborn again, he introspected that he should not sacrifice his life's happiness for an unknown bargaining chip, so, "I am willing!"

With his promise, her love that has been imprisoned for three years is like a young butterfly breaking out of its cocoon at this moment. It is a kind of freedom and happiness to act recklessly, and there are people to share and bear with her.She finally exhaled the breath she was holding, and couldn't help laughing out loud. She was satisfied and asked intentionally, "Why?"

She smiled like a flower, Zhen Bing's heart was full of sunshine, scratching his head and laughing foolishly: "Because you are a child."

Lin Zhiling was dubious: "I heard that men are the most glib. If one day I return to my original appearance, will you still marry me?"

Zhen Bing recalled her outrageous face in the past, his face stiffened instantly, and he swallowed saliva in fright.

The past of her was like a nightmare, but even so, he was willing to be imprisoned in the nightmare.

Zhen Bingmu nodded in bewilderment: "Yes, because you are an immature spirit."

Lin Zhiling pointed at Zhen Bing's nose and warned: "Remember what you said today, if you break the contract, you know what will happen."

Thinking of Lin Zhiling's bone-cutting 36 moves, Zhen Bing felt a chill running down his spine, and tremblingly said: "I know, I swear, if I, Zhen Bing, dare to fail Feng Gu, I will be struck by lightning."

Lin Zhiling was so excited that she seemed to throw Zhen Bing over her shoulder.

——"My lord, Gu Feng, Master Lin is here."

Lin Zhiling was overjoyed, she hadn't seen her father for a year, and she didn't say anything in advance when she came this time.Lin Zhiling was very excited, and hurriedly took Zhen Bing's wrist to greet her, and wanted to ask her father to be the master and make them both happy.

Lin Zhiling couldn't wait: "Father, you came just in time, I have something to tell you."

"Son, Dad also has something to tell you." Mr. Lin was travel-laden, still panting, and didn't have time to rest.Zhen Bing quickly handed over a cup of hot tea with great interest.

Lin Zhiling was mischievous and domineering, "Let me speak first."

For the first time, Master Lin refused to let his daughter: "No, let me speak first!"

Zhen Bing persuaded: "Gu Feng, let the elders think about it."

Lin Zhiling restrained her high emotions and backed down: "Okay, Dad, tell me quickly."

Master Lin was so anxious that he seemed to be in a catastrophe. "Ling'er, trouble is coming! Your Majesty attacked Beiliao. Fortunately, Youyu is still alive. Unfortunately, he has become the king of Beiliao!"

Upon hearing Youyu's name, Lin Zhiling's forbidden desire for power drove her to reflexively let go of Zhen Bing's hand, covering her mouth in disbelief: "He is alive, and he is still the king of Beiliao?"

The rumors had not yet spread to Qianzhou, Lin Zhiling panicked when she learned about this, the smile on her face just now turned into unresolvable worry.

Zhen Bing lost his smile for a moment, lowered his brows, and stood there in a daze as if his acupuncture points had been tapped.Just a second ago, he naively thought that he could grow old with her forever.

Master Lin sat on the couch beside him, beat his thigh and lamented: "But His Majesty wants to kill him, he is in great trouble this time!"

Lin Zhiling's limbs trembled in panic, and her husband was still alive, so she was burdened with fear and anxiety before she even had time to be pleasantly surprised.She should have thrown herself into her father's arms and cried like a weak woman, but she didn't.

She stared at one place coldly, and the return of Youyu made her see a ray of light. It was the title and status bestowed on her by Youyu's life, which made her realize that she is Mrs. Yu, Princess Chen, and Becoming a ray of light for the empress.Suddenly, as if she had a stroke, she ran into the study and looked at the map and accounts, and said to herself: "No, he will be fine, I will help him."

Zhen Bing was both happy for her and worried about her, he dared to do anything for her. "Then we immediately declare resistance to Yan and stop supplying food to the imperial court."

Lin Zhiling: "Not now, our little Qian County can't resist the imperial court yet."

"We in Qianzhou have [-] soldiers and horses, and they all listen to us."

"It's far from enough. We have to wait for the princes to act first."

-

Jin Li Palace.

Shu Jin was chatting with the Xiongnu merchants, and there was no one else inside or outside the hall.This was the seventh visit of the Huns, bringing their newly made spices.After the spice was ignited, it gave off a sweet and astringent smell. Shu Jin smelled it for a few days, and his complexion was good, and the old illness did not recur.

The Xiongnu businessman said kindly, "His Royal Highness Li just needs to use this incense every day, but after three years, he will be able to recover and he will no longer be troubled by serious diseases, and he will have no worries about his success in the future."

Shu Jin closed his eyes, sniffed the light smoke rising from the incense burner, and then breathed out smoothly.He urgently needs a kind of spice to replace Wei Ya's breath. As long as he is healthy, he will have more energy to do great things, and Wei Ya will become a hindrance to his career. He can predict that Wei Ya will leave one day go by yourself.

"Your incense is nothing more than that." Although Shu Jin was very useful, he still poured cold water on the Huns mercilessly.He was not defenseless against the Huns, and he knew that once he relied on their medicines, he would be subject to them.Shu Jin was very dissatisfied: "Please ask the messenger to adjust a few more samples for this king."

The Xiongnu businessman was in a very unhappy mood, nodded with a disobedient smile, and asked tentatively: "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor will go to Beiliao to apologize to the King of Beiliao in person. Once a peace is negotiated..."

"Disagreement," Shu Jin said firmly, with Cang Luan's character, he would never ask his subjects for forgiveness.After thinking for a while, he opened his eyes and asked the Huns an interesting question, "You just came to the Central Plains, did you know that the king of Beiliao Naichen said that? He fell from the sky, and everyone said he was the real dragon emperor. Do you believe it?" ?”

Yu Youyu was not dead, which made him very surprised.For example, a thoughtful person like Wang Yang has thousands of chances to destroy this prophecy that seems impossible to come true, but Wang Yang let him go; while he recommends Cangluan several small foreign countries that can be invaded, Cangluan He chose to attack Beiliao impartially - a place where he existed.Now that Youyu is the king of Beiliao, Shu Jin finds it ridiculous, but has to wonder whether Youyu is really God's will.Youyu wanted to escape wholeheartedly, but the gods let him lead this troubled world, as if to push him to the altar.

The Huns flattered: "I have heard about the deeds of King Chen, but they are just fooling around and setting up names. It was King Li who helped him become Ru Gong when he rebelled against punishment. If you lift him up into the sky, you can drag him down from the sky, whether he can become the emperor is not up to you."

Shu Jin could hear the flattery of the Huns, so he didn't answer, but instead asked, "How many soldiers and horses does the Huns have?"

"20."

Shu Jin sneered in his heart, the huge Xiongnu Empire had more than 20 troops.Forget it, it’s probably a state/secret. He didn’t intend to extract real data from the Huns, but only sarcastically said: “How can 20 soldiers and horses defeat Cangluan’s [-] lions.”

"So you and I join forces, and including King Li's troops, there are 40."

The so-called Xiongnu merchant said it was just a deception. His real identity was an envoy sent by the Huns.

Shu Jin is not afraid of being detected and suspected by Cang Luan, because he is plotting rebellion.After Cangluan took the initiative to attack Jinli, he denied it and had a legitimate reason to conquer Cangluan.

But the Xiongnu were not a fuel-efficient lamp, which became another big problem in Shu Jin's mind.The Xiongnu wanted to preserve their strength, hoping that both Li and Yan would be hurt so that they could take advantage of the situation. How could he fail to guess the Huns' scheming.

Shu Jin sighed: "Where does this king get 20 soldiers and horses, it's only [-] more."

The Xiongnu envoy shook his head and smiled, thinking that Shu Jin was young and inexperienced. Although he was a little smart but not a scheming child, he pretended to be someone who had experienced it, and retorted in an enlightening way: " No, no, no, Liwufu and Minfeng in Jin have been recuperating for more than three years, how can there be only one hundred thousand soldiers."

Shu Jin also complimented unceremoniously: "The Huns have a vast land and abundant resources, and they have cultivated for six years. How can they only have 20?"

The envoy's face paled, and he realized that Shu Jin was not simple.He immediately withdrew his haughty posture and reminded Shu Jin who should seek first in this situation. "King Li, have you forgotten? But you asked us not to interfere with Bei Liao."

Shu Jin did not immediately reply to the envoy's words, but asked the eunuch to bring a pot of boiling water, and then made a cup of tea by himself, poured a few pours of boiling water, the tea rose and fell several times, and finally stretched the clouds slowly , exuding an elegant fragrance.After waiting for the tea to warm up again, Shu Jin began to taste it slowly. "Well, good tea."

Seeing Shu Jin's composed look, he didn't seem to want to give an answer.The envoy couldn't hold back his temper and said, "Your Majesty Li..."

Seeing that the envoy was holding back his anger, Shu Jin felt happy in his heart, and he hesitated for a while before responding: "I'm sorry, my heart suddenly hurts just now, if I don't drink tea in time, I'm afraid I won't be able to breathe, I hope the envoy will forgive me. So I discourage you from aiding Beiliao, but it is for your own good. Cangluan eliminated the king of Meng and caused the princes to panic, and attacking Beiliao will definitely attract the hatred of foreigners. If you don’t allow him to annex Beiliao, it will cause anger and resentment, or you and I will join forces. Do you think you can win him?"

The messenger swallowed his anger, but the anger still stained his face red. "Shan Yu also thought of this before joining forces with you, King Li. Since we are on the same front, we should go all out."

In order to join forces with Shu Jin, he agreed to give a piece of land in the north, which was his biggest concession. However, despite this, the Xiongnu kept making conditions again and again, and Shu Jin couldn't bear it.What he lost today, sooner or later he will gain back twice as much.

Shu Jin waved his hand helplessly: "However, Jin Li really only has [-] soldiers and horses. There are thousands of miles in the northern border of the Central Plains. It's up to you to decide whether to take it or not. If you don't dare, it's too late to let go now."

The Huns envoy sneered, and said in a threatening tone: "Hmph, King Li can joke, even though I act cautiously, how can there be no detailed work in the palace? Do you think the court will not know that you have intersections with the Huns? Maybe the emperor is planning how to deal with you, does King Li think he still has a chance to let go?"

"The envoy's words are not ridiculous. If the court knows that I have contacts with the Xiongnu, your ambitions will be exposed to the emperor. Do you think the Huns can still be alone? Cangluan is a combative person. After a long time without fighting, there will always be Thinking of doing something."

Shu Jin brewed another cup of tea leisurely, and said contemptuously in his heart: You are overestimating your power to attack me.

The envoy finally couldn't take it anymore, he slapped the table fiercely, tearing his face and shouting: "King Li thinks that once we let go, will Cangluan attack the Xiongnu first, or clean up the house first?"

Shu Jin calmly raised his head to look at the defeated messenger, and said without thinking: "Clean up the door."

"It's good if you know, can you defeat Cangluan? I'm afraid that you will die at that time. Now you Jinli need us Xiongnu, not Xiongnu relying on you. Without you, Xiongnu still dare to fight Cangluan Fight for the world."

"Indeed," Shu Jin did not deny the envoy's words, "If you let go, Jin Li will be destroyed forever. But knowing that the mantis is like a chariot, does the envoy think that I will resist in vain? This king is extremely timid, and I wish I could hand over the soldiers and horses to His Majesty to save my life. At that time, Xiao Wang will not know who His Majesty will use the king's troops to attack."

"You...you you..." Such a sinister and vicious move, the messenger was so angry that he was so angry, "You have a mere hundred thousand soldiers, even if you hand them all over to Cang Luan, how much power you can increase is not worth mentioning."

"Oh? So, my lord believes that Jin Li only has [-] soldiers and horses."

Unexpectedly, the emissary was left speechless by a child's rebuttal, so he stood up angrily and said goodbye: "Let me go back and tell Shan Yu that we can discuss it another day."

Shu Jin picked up the teacup, blew on the cooling air elegantly, and took a sip: "No."

The envoy left angrily, and after a while, with a gust of wind, a man wearing a coir raincoat and hat broke in through the window and stood in front of Shu Jin.

The incident happened suddenly, Shu Jin was taken aback, and dropped the cup by mistake.But he never panicked, fixed his eyes on the person in front of him for a while, felt familiar, and asked calmly, "Who are you?"

Feng Danmiao unhurriedly took off the bamboo hat, revealed his face, and said, "Give me soldiers and horses."

The shocking news keeps coming one after another recently, and Shu Jin is a bit powerless to resist.But Feng Danmiao's appearance is definitely a surprise. The whole country is looking for talented people, but they can't recruit a general like him. Now that he is here, he can't ask for it.

Cangluan attacked Beiliao, and Youyu was the king of Beiliao. At this time, he came to borrow troops from him. Shu Jin firmly believed that he came for Youyu, so he pretended not to know and asked one more question: "What do you want soldiers and horses for?"

Feng Danmiao looked around Shu Jin, and felt a lump in his heart. The feeling of uneasiness was the same as that of Wang Yang, and he felt that Shu Jin was unfathomable.

"Anti-Yan."

Feng Danmiao didn't want to ask at first, but his strong curiosity prompted him to open his mouth: "At first I thought you didn't accuse the fake King Li because you looked down on the kingship, but you still didn't let go. Since you have decided to be king, why not after the world is settled?" Stand up immediately."

Shu Jin thought it was ridiculous, he never thought that the general would ask such a naive question. "If I stand up immediately, what will the people think of me?"

Since he once revealed his intention in front of Feng Danmiao, Shu Jin did not hide his thoughts, not to mention there was a rift between Feng Danmiao and Cang Luan, and now he and himself are like-minded, with him, Li Jun Like a tiger with wings.

Feng Danmiao looked calm, but he couldn't fool Shu Jin, Shu Jin was good at observing people, and Shu Jin could read worry from his eyes.Shu Jin waved his hand to signal Feng Danmiao to sit down and rest, and asked thoughtfully, "If I give you soldiers and horses, what can I get?"

Feng Danmiao didn't sit down, and answered Shu Jin clearly and clearly: "Give me 20 soldiers and horses, and give you back the whole world."

Like a fish in water, Shu Jin asked tentatively, "The general doesn't want three rivers for one mile?"

Feng Danmiao put on the bamboo hat again to cover her face, thinking that Cang Luan is looking for her, so it's not good to show her face in front of others. "I only want Bei Liao."

"Gentleman is frank, okay, I will give you 30 soldiers and horses."

Feng Danmiao's heart skipped a beat, he never expected that Shu Jin would have 30 troops, it seems that he planned it for a long time.Feng Danmiao was glad that he covered his face in time, what he was guarding against was not the person who wanted to arrest him, but Shu Jin's penetrating eyes.
