They asked Lin Quan what was the matter, and Lin Quan handed them the written fold and troubled them to hand it over to Concubine Ping.

These sergeants naturally didn't dare to slack off, and handed over the fold, while Lin Quan waited outside.

About a quarter of an hour later, the soldier invited Lin Quan in, Lin Quan entered the handsome tent, Concubine Ping was wearing a military uniform, wearing a mask, her demeanor was majestic, and she was not angry and arrogant.

When Concubine Ping saw Lin Quan coming in, she didn't say a word, and Lin Quan saluted: "Sinner Lin Quan, I have seen the generalissimo, and the marshal is auspicious." ”

"Excuse me, do it." Concubine Ping's tone was calm, she couldn't tell whether she was angry or happy, and after Lin Quan thanked her, she was sitting.

Concubine Ping asked Lin Quan to write the letter and said to Lin Quan: "Lin Quan, do you know that your glory and wealth are all buried in this letter. If this palace presents this letter, you will still be light here, and if the saint is angry, you will also end up with Liu Xiu. ”

"The minister said that the invitation to risk death is not a lie. The minister just told what he knew and worried, and as for life, death, wealth and wealth, it was not the minister's concern. ”

When Concubine Ping heard this, she shook her head and said to Lin Quan, "Really? Lin Quan, the sages often say that you are different from ordinary Confucian scholars, you are a person who is sensible and understands affairs. Now it seems that you have really let the saint down. ”

"The sinner deserves to die, but even if the sinner disappoints the saint, he must say that there is something wrong with this southern expedition, and please think twice."

"Think twice? Now that the army is stationed here, how should we think twice? Is it right here, in vain? Where will the majesty of the saints be? Where is the majesty of the imperial court? Concubine Ping said obviously angrily.

Lin Quan responded calmly: "Dashuai, if it is for the majesty of the saint and the majesty of the imperial court, it is not advisable to give the lives of these hundreds of thousands of people in vain, in the humble opinion of sinners. If the ancients did not use human lives to resolve the catastrophe, how can today's saints bury human lives in vain for the sake of a little face. ”

When Concubine Ping saw Lin Quan answer like this, her eyes were cold, and she said to Lin Quan: "Lin Quan, do you know that your words can already judge you for a capital crime." ”

"The sinner has just said, the sinner is just saying what he wants to say, as for life, death, wealth and wealth, it is no longer something that sinner can consider."

"Lin Quan, are you really not afraid of death?"

"Death is naturally afraid, it is because I am afraid of death, so I want to say this, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, compared to sinners, which is more important, the commander naturally has a decision."

"You don't need you to teach Ben Shuai about this matter, since this is the case, come here, imprison this sinner, and deal with it after listening." Concubine Ping asked Lin Quan to be pressed down, and these soldiers took Lin Quan to a camp tent, and then watched outside the door, even if Lin Quan was imprisoned.

These soldiers were polite to Lin Quan, and did not embarrass Lin Quan, and after Lin Quan came in, they sent some daily necessities over.

Lin Quan thanked them, laid out the straw mat, and then spread the cover as a seat.

Lin Quan sat on it, closed his eyes, and felt quiet in his heart.

Lin Quan originally thought that he would be very frightened when facing death and would regret what he had done, but now he felt very happy.

A big stone that had been pressing on his head just went, and he understood the meaning of what Bajie said to himself.

Now, although he can't see death, he won't be afraid.

"Lin Quan, you, you ......" Xiangguo Gong walked in and said to Lin Quan in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "You said that you are staying at home now and reading and writing, isn't it a good thing." What do you want to write, do you know that even if you don't die in the south, you will die in the hands of the imperial court. ”

Lin Quan opened his eyes, let Xiang Guogong sit on his seat, and said to Xiang Guogong: "Su Shuai, I just want to make the stakes of this matter clear to Da Shuai and do my duty." ”

When Xiangguo Gong heard this, he looked at Lin Quan, looked at it carefully, and said to Lin Quan: "Lin Quan, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for a day, you have changed a lot." ”

Lin Quan said to Xiangguo Gong: "It's just that the heart suddenly brightened, and it reached the realm of conscience. ”

Xiangguo Gong looked at Lin Quan's eyes again, and said to Lin Quan: "This matter, whether it is good or bad, it is not easy to judge if you are a layman, but since this is the case, Lin Quan, you can rest assured, you are willing to be a loyal minister, then Bugu naturally still has to save your life." At all costs? The saint needs a talent who reconciles Ding Nai and changes yin and yang, and above the court, there is always an upright minister. ”

Lin Quan said that he didn't dare to be it, he hoped that Xiangguo Gong would not make Concubine Ping unhappy because of this, and he didn't want this big war to be imminent, and the generals would lose peace.

Xiangguo Gong smiled and said, "Lin Quan, you don't have to worry about this matter, Bugu will handle this matter." ”

Xiangguo Gong patted Lin Quan's shoulder and said to Lin Quan: "Lin Quan, Bugu can know you now, it is a blessing for Bugu." In the future, Bugu may be famous in history because of you. ”

Lin Quan said to Xiangguo Gong: "Su Shuai, you are joking, just to quell the rebellion of Yunyi and conquer the imperial capital, these two things are enough to be included in the martial temple, if you were not born late, I am afraid that the martial saint will be you." ”

Xiangguo Gong shook his head and told Lin Quan that he was far from a famous general, and that he could make a meritorious contribution only because of the soldiers' lives and the resourceful strategists like Lin Quan beside him.

When Xiangguo Gong said this, he thought of something, and said to Lin Quan: "To be honest, if I were a famous general of the ancients, I would not let the sage send troops, I have also seen your superiors, you are right, this time the troops are defeated and won less, and I am useless." Lin Quan, after you leave here, do you want to help Gu do something? ”

"What's the matter? Su Shuai just gave the order. ”

"Yesterday I looked at Nantong City, Nantong City is the gateway to the south of the imperial court, if you can delay the enemy army in Nantong City, then naturally the army of Jingming City will have time to deal with it."

Lin Quan said yes, but Nantong City is a shallow city, and if the enemy has more than 10,000 people, he can break through this city in one day at most.

"Lin Quan, have you forgotten how we defended the city in the first place?"

"Wooden walls."

Xiang Guogong nodded, took out the map, and said to Lin Quan: "This is the nearby Thunder Mountain, and there is a lot of wood in this mountain, which is enough for you to use." ”

"This is the Thick Creek, and when the time comes, you will send someone to dig the moat deep, and then bring in the water of the Thick Creek. Although it is now a dry season, the water in this creek is not small. ”

Lin Quan said that he knew, and told Xiangguo Gong that he would mobilize the people in the city and outside, and after the army left, build the city wall and establish the urn city.

Xiangguo Gong nodded and told Lin Quan, these are easy to do, the only difficulty is the soldiers, now there are less than a thousand soldiers left in the city, even if the fortifications are powerful, if there is no one, then it is also a decoration.

Lin Quan said that he would find a way to deal with this matter, and Xiangguo Gong could rest assured.

Xiangguo Gong said to Lin Quan: "When I came, I had already asked the nearby county town to assemble Lei Zhenzi, and if there was Lei Zhenzi to help you at that time, you would also have one more sharp weapon." ”

"Thank you Su Shuai, Su Shuai, don't worry, Nantong City will definitely wait for the arrival of the imperial army."

"Brother Lin, everything is done."

Xiangguo Gong saluted to Lin Quan, and then left here, an hour later, a soldier of the Caifeng Army arrived at this camp and said to Lin Quan: "Lin Quan, you can leave by the order of the great commander." ”

After Lin Quan thanked the soldier, he went to the gate under the escort of the soldier, and the soldier who escorted him said: "Lin Gongzi, I'm sorry, the little ones are also official." ”

"Don't dare, I'll take care of you." Lin Quan thanked him sincerely and left here.

Lin Quan hadn't taken a few steps before Chen Jingjing and the others came up, and Chen Jingjing asked eagerly, "Husband, what the hell is going on." ”

Lin Quan got into the carriage, chatted with them while walking, and told what happened, after hearing Lin Quan's words, the three of them were silent and did not speak, when they entered the city, Chen Jingjing said faintly: "Husband, this matter, the concubine body does not know what to say, but the concubine body knows that if you really want to do this, then the concubine body will always support you." ”

The other two nodded, Lin Quan couldn't help but be moved, and said to them: "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for." ”

Back at the mansion, Chen Jingjing personally cooked, prepared a sumptuous dinner for Lin Quan, this sumptuous is a lot of dishes, but there are not many ingredients, now the army is stationed here, Nantong City is a poor country, want to find expensive ingredients, it is impossible.

Lin Quan took a bite and said to Chen Jingjing: "Sister Jing, over the years, your cooking skills have grown a lot, even if I am now, I can't compare to you." ”

Chen Jingjing smiled and said to Lin Quan, "Really? That's good, if you like it, husband, I can cook every day. ”

"Master, that's really good." Yun Siyi, who gobbled up, said with a smirk.

"Think, if you like to eat, eat more."

Lin Quan said that it was okay, he estimated that he would be blessed in less than a year, but Yun Siyi was fat-headed and big-eared, and when he went out, he didn't look like a scholar, but like a rich man.

Yun Siyi thought of that image, couldn't help but slow down his eating, and finally said to Chen Jingjing: "Master, master, I'll go down first." ”

Chen Jingjing nodded, and after Yun Siyi went down, Lin Quan said to Chen Jingjing: "Sister Jing, you, the Penglai Fairy, are going to do me a favor now." ”

"Husband, you say."

"Can you gather some martial arts people here?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Defend the city."

Hearing Lin Quan's words, Chen Jingjing thought for a while and said to Lin Quan: "I can try this matter, but I am soft-spoken, I am afraid that I will not be able to gather too many people." ”

"In this matter, Beitang Zhixin and them should come forward." Le Qiong reminded.
