The reborn worthy minister is difficult to do

Seven days later, Jin Guoling Prefecture

Xu Ci and his party traveled to the capital of the Kingdom of Jin. Their journey in the past half month was shortened by half due to their day and night travel, and they arrived in Lingzhou in just seven days.

All of them are covered in wind and dust, with a smell of mud all over their bodies.

……

There was also an unexpected incident, when they were halfway there, they unexpectedly ran into Mrs. Lin, Xu Ziying's mother.

At that time, they happened to sit down to eat breakfast in a steamed stuffed bun shop built in a thatched hut, when they saw a ragged woman running there to steal steamed stuffed buns.

The woman's tricks were clumsy, and before she succeeded, the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop found out and asked him sharply.

Lin's style is no longer the same as it used to be. She has experienced all kinds of ups and downs in life, and she has long been humbled and cowardly, lingering on her last breath.

She put away her arrogance, bowed her head and humbly endured the boss's accusation, but in the end she begged the boss to give her some steamed stuffed buns.

Xu Ci and the others were discussing things in the most remote place, so they didn't notice what happened here.

It was Luo Qianxue who heard the voice and turned her head to look, and saw Mrs. Lin.

Although he was stunned for a moment, he still stood up and helped Lin pay for the buns, and brought her over.

Lin's expression was in a trance, and the moment she saw Xu Ci, she had a regretful expression on her face, "Ziqing, why are you here..."

Luo Qianxue casually took a bench from the table behind her, and motioned for Lin to sit down, "We are together."

"The reason why I appeared in Miaojiang was also entrusted by Xu Ci. After I went there, I found you who was trapped, and then brought you back."

Luo Qianxue's words were half true and half false, she only said that she was entrusted by Xu Ci to go to Miao Jiang, but she didn't say what it was for.But he missed the most important reason in the middle, and only said that Lin was rescued in the end.To those who don't know the whole story, they will misunderstand that Xu Ci asked Luo Qianxue to go to Miaojiang to rescue Lin, and bring her back for resettlement.

That's what Lin thought. She was stunned for a moment. She could vividly recall the horrible experience she had encountered in the Wushen tribe in Miaojiang. At that time, her daughter was by her side, but she ignored her and watched coldly.

And this Xu Ci, whom he had always rejected at the beginning, sent someone from thousands of miles to save her...

Comparing the two, which is good and which is evil, the contrast is particularly heavy.

Lin's heart was full of remorse, she covered her face with her hands, and faced Xu Ci shamelessly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Luo Qianxue asked Lin why she was here.

Lin wiped her face and sighed.

It turned out that Xu Ziying was gone, and Xu Ziya also ran away from home. She lived alone in a corner, in a trance all day long, restless sleeping and eating.

She always felt that she couldn't be so helpless, and was afraid that she would never see her relatives again, so she planned to go out to find Xu Ziya.

At the beginning Xu Ziya was heading south. She set off half a month ago and was heading south. On the way, she was tricked into making money, so she had to leave while begging for food, and ended up here.

Luo Qianxue and Xu Ci looked at each other, both of them couldn't bear to tell the truth.

At that time, Mrs. Wang did the burial of Xu Ziya herself. At that time, Mrs. Lin was provoked, so Luo Qianxue did not tell Mrs. Lin the news of Xu Ziya's death. It was better to let her live with a little thought than to lose all hope.

Even though Xu Ci despised Lin Shi quite a bit, she had already received the punishment she deserved, and she had already settled all grievances with him.

After Mrs. Lin finished speaking, thinking about her current situation, although it was difficult to speak, she still lowered her face: "Ziqing, your lord has a lot of people, just because you and I have lived together under the same roof for ten years. And take me with you. I promise, I will not cause you any trouble!"

Xu Ci looked at Mrs. Lin, feeling a little helpless.

Now it is very close to the front line, the people here are in dire straits and mixed with fish and dragons, if she is left here, her corpse will be exposed in the wilderness in just a few days.If you don't agree, it seems unreasonable.

She is a woman, and now she has no desire to fight for fame and fortune, so he is not afraid that she will make some troubles.

Since he was not afraid of her troubles, Xu Ci was not afraid to take her with him.After thinking for a while, Xu Ci finally nodded, "Okay, we are going to the Kingdom of Jin, so you can go with us. The Kingdom of Jin is safe and healthy now, and I saw a figure very similar to Xu Ziya when I went to the Kingdom of Jin last time. It is really him. After arriving, you can leave as you like, and look for him in all parts of the Kingdom of Jin."

Lin was so grateful, she kowtowed three times on the ground excitedly, then got up and stepped aside, folded her hands on her lower abdomen, bowed slightly and stood humbly.

It was night, when Mrs. Lin fell asleep under the tree, Luo Qianxue secretly asked Xu Ci: "Isn't Xu Ziya dead? Did you really meet him in Jin Kingdom before?"

Xu Ci smiled, "How is it possible, it's just to make Lin's life more dignified."

Luo Qianxue looked at Lin who was sleeping soundly under the tree not far away, paused, and said in a low voice: "Speaking of which, Lin is really pitiful, her own daughter turned a blind eye to her and even killed her own brother."

Xu Ci pursed his lips, thinking of his mother who died in depression in the previous life, "Poor man, he has something to hate. It's getting late, you should rest earlier."

In the next few days, everyone rushed for another five days, but on the fifth day, when they were approaching the Yue Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, Lin suddenly claimed that his stomach pain was unbearable and it was convenient to go to the jungle.

Since then, never come back.

Luo Qianxue was very good at lightness kung fu, she followed the trail to trace the direction of Lin's family, and found that Lin's family had gone to Yue Kingdom.

After Xu Ci heard this, he laughed out of anger, "She hasn't been tormented enough by her own daughter, and no one can stop her if she has to suffer again! Let's go!"

……

Xu Ci looked at the still prosperous Lingzhou, and remembered the scorched earth and barrenness he saw passing by when he came along the road.

Even though it was only separated by a mountain, this place was safe and sound, but the other side was ravaged by the flames of war.

There is a world of difference across a mountain.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Xu Ci shook his head and looked at the oncoming army. The leader was none other than the current Queen of the Kingdom of Jin—Gongsun Tuo.

Three days ago, they sent a letter to Gongsun Tuo by flying pigeons, saying that if there was no delay on the way, they would arrive in Lingzhou in three days.

As soon as they entered the city, they met Gongsun Tuo, which showed that he had been waiting here for a long time.

Gongsun Yu hasn't seen his brother for a long time, and he has long been sick with longing. Now that he sees his brother for the first time, there is no courtesy. He has already rushed over and hugged Gongsun Tuo, "Brother, I finally saw you again !"

Gongsun Tuo laughed, hugged Gongsun Yu with his backhand and patted him on the back heartily, "I didn't return to Beiguan for five years, and I didn't see you like this. It's only been half a year since I saw you, why are you becoming more indecisive?"

Gongsun Yu let go of Gongsun Tuo, and snorted coldly, "The reason why I didn't miss you so much was because you and I were still in the same country, and we still drank from the same river and ate from the same land. Mi. But now separated by a mountain, you and I are already two countries, how can this be the same as back then, how can I not want to!"

What he said, Xu Ci nestled in the carriage, and slapped Gongsun Yu a hundred times in his heart. The sharp mouth and the words that came out of his mouth really deserved to be a man who could become the king of Yue!

Gongsun Tuo smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly changed the topic, "You have worked hard all the way, I have already prepared the room, food and clothing in the palace, so stop talking, and follow me into the palace."

It's true, there is no delay in meeting the Empress.Several people looked at each other and nodded. This time they adjusted their clothes and went to the palace under the escort of Gongsun Tuo.

Two days ago, the empress had categorically rejected the envoy of Dayao Kingdom who asked for help.

This matter is over, and the envoy has no face to return to Dayao Kingdom.

Although he entered the palace every day to seek an audience these two days, he was turned back.

At that time, the envoy made a death oath before departure, and the success will return, and the failure will be atonement.

Seeing that the empress was so decisive, the envoys gave up their minds, and the three officials discussed with each other, and planned to kill themselves in front of the Jin Kingdom's palace with a dagger in hand to prove their ambition.

This is what Xu Ci saw when he followed Gongsun Tuo to the city gate. The three officials were wearing the official uniforms of the Dayao Kingdom, but they were covered with a layer of white mourning clothes.

In front of the palace gate, several guards stared straight ahead expressionlessly, turning a blind eye to it.

Xu Ci took a look, and his anger rushed to the back of his head.

He gave Gongsun Tuo a hard look, and said sarcastically, "The envoy of the Yao Kingdom died in front of the gate of the Jin Kingdom's palace, and the Empress can turn a blind eye like this. She really has a heart of stone."

Gongsun Tuo came out early this morning. When he came out, these ministers hadn't arrived yet, so naturally they didn't know about it.

When he saw this scene, he was already extremely ashamed, and when Xu Ci said it, he was even more ashamed.

Gongsun Tuo got off his horse in a hurry, and flew to the front of them after a few starts, and kicked the daggers in their hands quickly, "My lords, please think again!"

The three officials were already desperate. Now when they saw Gongsun Tuo, the Great General of Zhenbei, their eyes were full of hope, "General Gongsun! It's the Great General Gongsun! You must save Dayao Kingdom!"

"He's done his best, my lords, don't beg him anymore." Xu Ci followed slowly from behind, a little bit unbearable to see the scene in front of him of three old men who were over fifty years old kneeling humbly in front of others, weeping and begging scene.

They are all open-minded and aboveboard people.I have never experienced such an experience in this country, but now I do not hesitate to kneel down and beg others here, it can be seen that they really have no choice...

They are all for the Great Yao Kingdom!For a daring loyalty!It's all this damn war, damn Yuwen Tiancheng and Xu Ziying!

Hearing the voice, the three officials turned their heads and saw Xu Ci and the others accompanying them, "King Yue, Xu Xianma, why are you here?"

Xu Ci grinned, and bowed to the three officials, "Naturally, I have the same purpose as the adults."

"My lords, Empress Gongsun has been the general of Zhenbei in our Dayao Kingdom for nearly ten years. You and I should understand his behavior. How can he stand by and watch when the country is in trouble? But there has been no news since the incident started, empress There is no intention of helping, so it can be seen that Queen Gongsun has also tried her best."

The three officials sighed and said in despair: "Looking at the world today, only the Kingdom of Jin can still bring back a city by sending troops. But now that the Kingdom of Jin has such an attitude, we have been entrusted with important tasks, and now we have returned without success." , what face do you have to go back to China to meet the Holy Majesty?"
