After leaving for three months, it was late autumn in September when I returned to Jiangning.

The autumn in Jiangning is not distinct, the scorching summer has passed, there is a bit of autumn, it only lasts for more than ten or twenty days, the weather is suddenly cold, a handful of fallen leaves mixed with dust whirling on the road, it seems to indicate that a longer and harsh winter is coming.

Lin Lian's leg injury was inconvenient for riding a horse, lying on the soft couch of the carriage and looking at the bleak autumn scenery outside the car window, Liu Yue'er dozed off with her head on Lin Lian's shoulder, and Xiaoman didn't have the consciousness of a personal maid at all, and her head rested on Lin Lian's thigh to talk to him.

Liu Yue'er didn't care about her, but she couldn't do it in front of Xiaoman.

Xiao Man saw Lin Lian looking at the car curtain and going out, she turned over to look at the scenery outside the car window, and her chest pressed on Lin Lian's thigh/inside.

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Man asked in a soft voice.

Through the brocade jacket, Lin Jian could still feel that the little girl had developed a little, he twitched the thighs that pressed Xiaoman's soreness, and was a little reluctant to feel that her youthful and delicate body was pressed on her thighs, and said: "Thinking about a lot of things, I feel that I just have a clue, and if I think about it carefully, it is still messy, and I may not be able to rest well when I go back to Jiangning." ”

The bells hanging from the horses' necks outside the car tinkled and the ruts were rattled.

Xiao Man turned his face sideways and pillowed, Lin Jian looked at her eyes that were as clear as a spring under her long eyelashes, and the lower lip of the straight nose bridge was red, which contrasted with the fair, transparent cheeks, which looked even more delicate and attractive, with a strand of hair scattered on the cheeks, and the delicate face that had not taken off the childish spirit had a bit of a charming and attractive taste.

Lin Lian reached out and stroked the messy hair to the base of her crystal clear ears, while Xiao Man grabbed his hand and stuck it to his slippery jade face, closed his eyes as if feeling the slight tingling sensation brought to her by the calluses in Lin Bin's palm, and his slender fingers drilled into his cuffs and gently stroked his scarred arm.

The carriage knocked down, Liu Yue'er woke up, saw Lin Lian's hand on Xiaoman's face, didn't say anything, just adjusted his posture, reached out to hug Lin Lian's arm, and his head was closer to him.

After they left Jiyang, they returned to Jiangning by land from the territory of Danyang Mansion, and accompanied Gu Wuchen to make a special detour to inspect the area seriously devastated by the East China Sea Bandits. Especially when Lin Lian left Jiangning, there was dangerous news from time to time, she and Xiaoman couldn't leave the estuary, and they couldn't go to Lin Lian's side to guard and take care of him, scared and dependent on each other, where would Xiaoman care about sharing a man with her? She thought that Lin Jian would take Xiaoman into the room as soon as possible, and she could treat Xiaoman's sisters honestly.

Lin Yue enjoyed two delicate bodies attached to his body with two slightly different gentleness, Liu Yue'er's body was plump, her chest was bulging and her buttocks were round, and she was full of the seductive charm of a woman, he felt that Liu Yue'er woke up, took her hand, and held the hands of the three of Xiaoman, so that he could know more clearly what he wanted to grasp when the troubled times were coming.

An unusual rush of horses' hooves came from far and near, and someone greeted outside: "Lord Lin, you are about to arrive at the Nine Urns Bridge, and your lord asks if you can enter the city?" ”

"Ah, it's all at the Nine Urns Bridge," Lin Jian looked out of the car, and a junior colonel next to Gu Wuchen rode over to talk to him, and he replied, "I'll go over and talk to the adults right away, you go over first......"

Liu Yue'er and Xiaoman moved to another carriage, Lin Lian's leg injury had not healed, and it was inconvenient to get off the horse, so he sat in the carriage and asked Ao Canghai and Zhao Hu to accompany him to the front to talk to Gu Wuchen.

Recruiting people and horses from the remnants of the bloody battle in Jiyang, Gu Wuchen's entourage recovered to more than 300 people.

A large number of war dead and wounded were sent back to Jiangning for burial or treatment earlier, and the horses were damaged a lot in the bloody battle of Jiyang, and less than half of them rode horses, but even if the people who survived the bloody battle still had many problems such as insufficient training, the courage to kill was far better than before.

Yang Pu sat on the horse, looked at the cavalry team led behind him, and couldn't help but sigh: Bloody battles and morale do not collapse is elite, the real elite division is not trained, it is led by excellent generals like Lin Jian tempered from bloody battles.

Behind the anti-cavalry team was the prison guards led by Zhao Hu, plus Lin Lian's entourage and more than 20 people who served Lin Tie in Jiyang, a total of 1560 people, and the size of the team was much smaller than that of the anti-cavalry, but Yang Pu sat on the back of the horse and looked back at Lin Tie rushing to the front in a carriage and horse, and suddenly realized that although the two teams of people and horses in the front and back had been walking in the same way since Jiyang, there was a clear boundary between them.

Yang Pu thought in his heart, maybe Lin Tie was too independent and self-contained, which made the adults scruple and there was a gap between them, if he could let the young lady marry Lin Tie as his wife, just like Tang Hao was a big man back then and married his wife to an adult, Weng and his son-in-law were respectful, and there should be no more estrangement between each other.

Lin Jian rushed to the front in the carriage, lifted the curtain of the car in front of him, moved to the door of the car, and said to Yang Pu: "Uncle Yang, are you looking for me?" He nodded with Gu Siyuan, who was riding on horseback.

"It's been more than three months since you left Jiangning, come back to the house with me for a drink or two." Gu Wuchen lifted the curtain of the car, revealing half of his face to talk to Lin Bin.

"I'm in the way of seeing it." Lin Jian pointed to his legs that were still full of bandages and said with a smile.

"What's in the way, let Zhao Hu find two people to carry you in," Gu Wuchen said with a smile, "It's just sitting and eating, it's not inconvenient." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Lin Jian said with a smile.

Gu Siyuan stiffened lightly, and asked Lin Jian to take the carriage to the front to talk side by side with his father, and he stepped back to ride parallel with Yang Pu, Ao Canghai, and Zhao Hu.

Zhao Qinmin sat in a carriage behind him, looking at everything in front of him through the gap in the curtain.

Zhao Qinmin could see that after the bloody battle in Jiyang, Gu Siyuan deliberately imitated Lin Jian in his words and deeds.

Gu Siyuan not only paid attention to the fact that the people of Jiyang, who were recruited to the horsemen, cared about Juxing, were kind and pleasant, and learned to win people's hearts, but he himself also insisted on riding horses since he came out of Jiyang, and he also learned equestrianism from Yang Pu when he was resting, so he was more able to endure hardships; In the past, it would have been impossible for him to ride horses in parallel with Zhao Hu, Ao Canghai and other people whose status was far lower than him.

Zhao Qinmin smiled slightly, closed the curtain of the car, and didn't listen to what Lin Jian and Gu Wuchen were talking about in front, he knew that for a long time, Gu Wuchen had to rely on Lin Jian in many matters, but who didn't have any selfish thoughts, as long as Gu Siyuan could bear hardships and stand hard work and be enterprising, how could Gu Wuchen not cultivate his son as a successor?

The situation in Jiangdong is still grim, it is exactly like this, especially to promote the victory of Jiyang to inspire, Lin Jian followed Gu Wuchen into the city, according to the officials of the Ministry of Inspection, as well as Chen/Yuanliang, Zhang Yubo, Liu Xilin and other Gu officials and military attaches in Jiangning to Donghua Gate to greet them, that is, Yin Wang Xueshan of Jiangning Mansion also sent representatives to greet him.

Zhao Hu led the soldiers and the people of Jiyang who defected to Lin Tie to escort Liu Yue'er and Xiao Man straight back to the estuary, and Ao Canghai led all the guards to follow Lin Tie into the city for the banquet.

Gu Wuchen wanted to show Lin Lian's position as the first meritorious player in the Battle of Jiyang, and asked him to drive into the Donghua Gate side by side with him, Lin Jian naturally refused, and Yang Pu followed him, surrounded by the Dongcheng Lieutenant Horse Infantry and the Cavalry, and went straight from the Donghua Gate to the Gu Mansion in the south of Tianhan Bridge.

Gu Mansion Inner House.

"Lord Lin is really majestic," Gu Junxun's personal maid Cui'er rushed back from the former house detective to hear the news and chirped and repeated to Gu Junxun, "I heard Wu Yanzi say that under Jiyang City, the lake stone where Lord Lin sat was attached to it, and the pirate's arrows would turn inexplicably when they hit there, and they wouldn't hurt Lord Lin at all......

"What nonsense," Gu Junxun reached out to pull Cui'er's cheek, asking her to sit honestly under the candle flame and tell herself the news she heard, "If it really doesn't hurt in the slightest, how can he let people come in the house to drink?" ”

"Aren't you afraid that you're worried about Miss?" Cui'er said with a smile, "Lord Lin's legs and feet are inconvenient, but people are in spirit, and their eyes look like they are carrying thunder and lightning." Listening to Wu Yanzi, under Jiyang City, there were more than 20 pirates in Lord Lin's hand, and the head was cut off by the knife on the pirate's neck, and the base behind him was taller and bigger than the lake stone he was sitting on; Whoever dares to retreat without disobeying the order will also be given a head around his neck and placed on the other side. Tang Gui in the front yard was killed by Lord Lin because he was afraid of war, saying that it was a military law. I don't understand, Tang Gui is such a playful person, and he died in the hands of Lord Lin like this, it's a pity, Lord Lin doesn't remember that he is the person brought over by his wife, and he has been serving by the master's side for so long? I heard that after the killing, everyone became murderous, and the pirates didn't look as powerful as they imagined, even if they died, they refused to retreat to the back of the lake and rock, and they were forced to suffer for four days. If it weren't for Lord Lin finally ordering everyone to go back to the city to rest, everyone would still want to pursue the pirates in one go, and give Ninghai Town so much credit in vain, everyone feels that it is a pity. These things sound straightforward, Lord Lin is like a murderer, aren't you afraid when you hear it? ”

"What's there to be afraid of?" Gu Jun Xun's white hand supported his delicate chin, stared at the beeping candle flame intently, and said softly, "It is they who are guarding outside the city like a murderous demon king, but the city will not be spoiled by pirates; You think Lord Lin is vicious, and when the pirates break through the city, you will feel that the pirates are a hundred times more vicious than Lord Lin. Lord Lin is the murderous demon king of pirates, but he is the god who guards the people in the city. ”

"Hey, I know I can't say bad things about Lord Lin in front of you, and I'm just telling you the news I heard outside, so you can quarrel with me?" Cui'er smiled coquettishly, "You said that Master Lin would send someone to kiss you, I think Miss you can't wait......"

"What kind of tongue are you chewing," Gu Junxun blushed with shame, and reached out to pinch Cui'er's cheek again, "Which dog eye of yours can't wait to see me?" ”

"What's the use of you and me, I heard that the two women in Lord Lin's room are powerful characters, you know to bully me at this time, be careful that no one will help you deal with those two women when you pass the door." Cui'er was about to flash out of the room, but she couldn't help but bump into Mrs. Gu who was standing outside the door.

Gu Tang stumbled, raised his hand and slapped his daughter's personal maid, and reprimanded: "There are no rules for doing things and talking, and there is no girl look." ”

"Mother, Cui'er is just talking and laughing." Gu Junxun hurriedly excused Cui'er, so that Cui'er, whose eyes were so frightened that her face turned white, left first.

"Talking and laughing nonsense, these words are also what she can say nonsense?" Gu Tang's eyes glanced at Cui'er sternly, and said, "Next time, if you dare to laugh nonsense, I will tear your mouth carefully." ”

Cui'er retreated silently, and Gu Junxun also sat aggrieved and sat aside silently, but in the inner house, no one could go against her mother's wishes, and she couldn't argue. Originally, I wanted to pretend to pass by and see Lin Lian, but then I gave up.
