"Husband, we are waiting for you to come back, and it is best to bring the Green Dancing Girl back safely." Guo Caiwei couldn't hide the worry in her eyes and said softly.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do my best." He may not be able to return with Green Dance, but he must always touch his hole cards. ”

Guo Caiwei nodded, turned to Bai Bing and said, "Sister Bing'er, tonight's husband's safety will be handed over to you." Please ensure the safety of your husband. In any case, the husband can't have an accident. ”

Bai Bing saluted and said, "Sister of the county lord, don't worry, Bing'er will protect her husband even if she fights with her life." Whoever wants to be unfavorable to my husband must first step on my white ice corpse. ”

Lin Jue frowned and shouted, "Hey, hey, what are you talking about." We're going to the feast, not to die. Guo Xu didn't dare to do anything to me, at least he wouldn't kill me tonight. How can it be like parting with life and death. ”

Guo Caiwei said softly: "Husband, the concubine understands you. For the sake of the Green Dancing Girl, you may be desperate. But you are also a person with the principle of bottom line, and tonight's events may not have a happy ending. I didn't think Guo Xu was dangerous before, but since he did such a despicable and shameless thing, what hope did he have for him? Who knows what he'll do? Therefore, the husband must not take it lightly, and be careful in everything. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "He has no bottom line, and he doesn't dare to do anything to me." He sent an invitation, and if something happened to me in his house, wouldn't I tell the world that he had done it? He didn't dare. I'm also a fourth-grade official in the imperial court, and he doesn't have the guts. ”

Guo Caiwei shook her head and said: "But there is a trace of danger, and we can't take it lightly, because we can't afford to lose you." Husband, don't blame the concubine for talking too much, the concubine reminds her husband that you are not only the husband of the green dance girl, but also our husband, the father of Zhan'er, and the pillar of this house. So...... You must not be desperate...... Heedless...... All. ”

Lin Jue nodded slightly, he knew what Guo Caiwei meant. Guo Caiwei reminded him that he couldn't do anything for Green Dance, Green Dance was not all he had, he had to think about other wives and concubines and young sons. Don't act in a way that is extreme, and don't be rash. Although this reminder seems out of place, from the perspective of Guo Caiwei's identity, she is not wrong at all, and it is reasonable.

"Don't worry, I haven't lost my mind. I'll take care of it. You can rest assured. By the way, I'll probably be back late tonight. You and Zhan'er should go to bed early, so you don't have to wait for me to come back. Bing'er, let's go. Lin Juewei arched his hand, turned around and walked out.

"Husband!"

"Husband!"

"Senior brother!"

The women behind him couldn't help but scream. Lin Jue frowned and turned his head, sighed and said, "I said, this is not life and death. Why do you bother? ”

After that, Lin Jue came over, hugged Guo Caiwei and kissed her forehead, and then walked to Xie Yingying's side and hugged her and kissed her. Finally came to Fang Huanqiu's side, Fang Huanqiu's face was crimson, and he was about to speak, but Lin Jue hugged him and bit him his red lips.

"Bing'er, let's go. Dayong has his horse ready. When Fang Huanqiu was still immersed in the residual warmth of his lips, Lin Jue's voice was already under the porch in front of the door.

"It's ready, Sun Dayong said he wanted to go with us." Bai Bing's voice came.

"Well, let him go. Brother Sun is very stubborn. Lin Jue smiled and spoke, his voice already in the courtyard.

In the hall, Guo Caiwei, Xie Yingying, and Fang Huanqiu stood at the door, watching the figures of Lin Jue and Bai Bing disappear outside the hanging door. Guo Caiwei turned around, returned to her seat and sat down, and said with a calm expression: "Two sisters, let's also prepare dinner, let's have some wine for the three of us tonight." Sister Huanqiu, tell us about your trek thousands of miles to find your husband, I have been wanting to ask you a few days ago, and I have not been free. Tonight is a long and abundant time, so let's listen to you while we drink. ”

……

The sun was sinking at a great speed, and the market, which had been well-lit, became dark and obscure almost instantly. The people on the street also seemed to become scarce the moment the sunlight disappeared.

The three horses galloped south along Xiangguosi Avenue and soon reached the open street on the north bank of the Bianhe River. The wind is very strong, and the waves on the Bianhe River are not small. But the weather is cold, and even the waves can't stop the thin ice from condensing along the coast. Standing on the shore, you can seem to hear the slight clicking sound of thin ice forming. The three horsemen galloped east along the river, and arrived at the Junyi bridgehead after a while. The three of them walked off the bridge and continued south along the bluestone road, and after a few more miles, they arrived at a wooded area. Between the trees, a road leads to a forest lake, which is located in the southwest of one of the five great lakes of Bianliang. The mansion of Guo Xu, the king of Huai, is on the north shore of this southwest lake, sitting in the north and facing south.

Originally, the royal family lived around the Northwest Lake, close to the Imperial City. The palace of Guo Xu, the king of Huai, was also there. Five years ago, Guo Xu returned from the border town and asked to build a mansion on the side of the southwest lake, saying that he would quietly read military books and study the methods of fighting the enemy. The royal family gathered and came and went frequently on the shore of the northwest lake, and it was unbearable to be disturbed. Guo Chong agreed to his request and asked him to move the mansion here. At this point, Guo Xu and the imperial family have no contact, giving people a sense of depression and unapproachability.

The three horses galloped into the forest, and the forest was even more gloomy and dark, and there seemed to be a hint of coldness in the air. But soon, through the big trees that cover the sky, the front suddenly opens up. A large white lake appeared in front of me, and in the lush area of the lake ahead, a mansion was hidden among the trees. The lights in front of the door were bright and bright, illuminating the place.

"What kind of person, this is the mansion of King Huai, you are not allowed to trespass." In the shadow of the trees on one side, seven or eight heavily armed guards suddenly appeared, their swords shining brightly, blocking the way.

Lin Jue sat upright and immediately said in a deep voice: "Go and report to His Royal Highness King Huai, just say that Lin Jue went to the appointment to ask for a meeting." ”

Obviously, he had already received the order, and one of the guards heard Lin Jue's self-registration, so he hurriedly put away his blade and stepped forward and said, "It turns out that Lord Lin is here, so there is no need to pass it." His Royal Highness King Huai instructed that Lord Lin could be directly allowed to come here. Lord Lin, please! ”

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Thank you." ”

The three horsemen walked slowly and arrived at the open place outside the palace gate. Immediately another person came to greet him. The three men dismounted, and someone pulled the horse away. A tall, thin, ordinary-looking middle-aged man dressed as a scribe came down from the steps with a bright smile on his face and bowed.

"Lord Lin is here, and he is not welcome. Faux pas. In the study of Xia Zheng, he was the head of the Huai Wang's mansion, and was ordered by the prince to greet Lord Lin here. Lord Lin, please come down to the house, the prince has already prepared a banquet and is waiting for Lord Lin to come in the flower hall. ”

Lin Jue didn't know Zheng Zhixue, Zheng Zhixue was promoted by Guo Xu from an ordinary staff member to the chief staff member since he made contributions and avoided the passive situation of King Huai after the rebellion. This is an important position beside Guo Xu, and he has become a celebrity around Guo Xu.

"There is a long history of Lao Zheng. Please! Lin Jue smiled and said politely.

Zheng Zhixue said with a smile: "Lord Lin don't want to be called Changqing for a long time, in the next word Changqing, you can call me Changqing." Appear kind. ”

"Hehe, okay, Mr. Changqing, please!" Lin Jue is not hypocritical at all, I will call you whatever you ask me to call, even if it is a cat or a dog, it has nothing to do with me. Lin Jue didn't know that this Mr. Changqing in front of him was a powerful person.

Under the guidance of Zheng Zhixue, the three of them slowly stepped onto the wide stone steps. Under the bright light, the two stone lions on both sides of the door opened their teeth and claws, and their eyebrows were angry, even vicious. What made Lin Jue feel strange was not that these two stone lions were taller and fiercer than the stone lions in front of the yamen of ordinary mansions, but that their orientation was a little weird. They didn't sit with their backs to the door facing the door like ordinary beasts, but toward the stone steps that led to the door. Let all the people who step on the stone steps and enter the mansion have a feeling that they are going to be devoured by these two stone lions on the left and right. There is a sense of coercion in plain and white.

Zheng Zhixue obviously noticed Lin Jue's gaze, and explained with a smile on the side: "Lord Lin must have thought it strange, why did these two Gatekeeper Rui Beasts stand opposite each other, instead of facing outward. That was because the prince followed the advice of the feng shui practitioners. The place where the prince's mansion is located turned out to be a large cemetery, and the prince wants to build a mansion, so he naturally has to move the tomb to alarm the ghosts. Although he did the ritual to surpass the souls of the dead and found a new place to bury them, it was inevitable that there would be omissions, after all, it was a place where old graves gathered. Feng Shui Xiangshi said that the yin qi here is heavy, and there is nothing to hinder it with the courage and martial masculinity of His Royal Highness King Huai, but it is still inevitable that there will be a bad pool. Therefore, it is suggested that the two town houses should be reoriented and face the stone steps. It prevents ghosts from sneaking into the house. Not to mention, the palace has indeed been safe and sound in the past few years. ”

Lin Jue smiled and nodded: "I see, I thought that His Royal Highness King Huai was a maverick and did not take the usual path." ”

Zheng Zhixue stroked his beard and smiled: "That's not it." ”

Lin Jue thought to himself: If you haven't read a book, you haven't read a book. Generally, the stone statues of Rui beasts standing opposite each other can only be seen in one place, and that is on the road at the entrance of the mausoleum. Lin Jue had seen some mausoleum entrances, stone horses, stone sheep and stone lions standing opposite each other. This feng shui gentleman is afraid that Guo Xu's house is regarded as a yin house. I don't know if it's intentional or ignorance.

As he spoke, he entered the gate, and in front of him, a wall of two feet high and two feet wide lay in front of him, and a piece of white flowers looked like a whole piece of marble. Just this piece of marble on the wall costs a lot of money. On the wall is a shallow carving of a portrait, riding a tall horse, carrying a green dragon glaive knife. It's actually a statue of Guan Gong. This inevitably made Lin Jue laugh. The walls are usually carved with images of saints. The two saints of Confucius and Mencius are common, especially in the Great Zhou, a country where scholars and Confucianism are respected, and they are common rules. It's better for this King Huai to make a portrait of Guan Erye, doesn't he know that Guan Erye is also worshiped in the casinos and wine stores where street idlers gather?

No wonder this Guo Xu would kidnap Green Dance without a bottom line, he may be a person who does not play cards according to the routine and does whatever he wants. It's just that it looks like it's the illusion of being calm and practiced.
