Chapter 222

Lin Wentian, the general of the Northwest, is a figure of the same level as Wei Chili, the head of the Northwest Defense Line of the Empire.

In the war a year ago, Lin Wentian neglected his duties and was unable to defend the city, and finally became a deserter. After escaping back to the capital, Emperor Ming punished him with a felony, and his whole family was beheaded.

If Yang Longzhu is the pride of the emperor today, then Lin Wentian is the shame of the emperor. How many people gritted their teeth when they mentioned him, eager to gnaw on his corpse.

However, some people say that Lin Wentian is a victim of the struggle of civilian officials and military generals, and the support that should be given has been delayed, and Lin Wentian has no choice but to be defeated.

Cheng Dalei stayed in Chang'an for a year, but he also understood that the latter was the truth of Lin Wentian's death. But Cheng Dalei didn't expect that Lin Shaoyu would be Lin Wentian's heir.

No wonder Lin Shaoyu wanted to assassinate Emperor Ming.

Cheng Dalei sighed and asked, "How many people are left in the Lin family?"

"There are also a few old and weak people who have escaped, and now they are all living incognito, and what happened at home was told to me by an old servant. Lin Shaoyu gritted his teeth and said: "My father threw his head and spilled blood for the empire, and he was unjustly killed by the faint king, I must ask the faint monarch for justice." ”

"But even if you kill Emperor Ming, your father's grievances can't be cleared. ”

"Uh......"

Lin Chong and Lin Shaoyu finished at the same time, Cheng Dalei shook his head, what these two people's brains said, they were a little confused.

"I will clear my father's grievances and seek justice from those unscrupulous and traitorous ministers. ”

Cheng Dalei sighed softly, he wanted to stop asking Yang Long for justice, and Shaoyu wanted to ask Emperor Ming for justice, but is there really a word justice in this world.

"You guys hide here first, there is food and water in the cellar, here is what I prepared for myself, no one will find here, when I leave Chang'an, let's go together." ”

As he spoke, Cheng Dalei lifted the iron gun and stabbed it his shoulder, and left the small temple with the sword.

He rode back on horseback, when night had fallen, and the stars were hanging on the plains, and suddenly a group of horsemen with torches came in front of him.

"Is it Captain Niu?"

Looking at the equipment on their bodies, it was the Praetorian Guards of Chang'an City, and Cheng Dalei rode over.

"It's Captain Niu, it's Captain Niu!"

"Tell everyone, I've found Captain Niu. The crowd cheered.

Cheng Dalei was a little confused, am I so popular.

"Did Captain Niu catch that thief?"

"Hey, let them escape!" Cheng Dalei said regretfully.

"Captain Niu seems to be injured?"

"Oh, I accidentally got shot, and I scratched a little skin, and it didn't get in the way. ”

"Come on, Captain Niu is injured, come on. ”

This scene made Cheng Dalei confused, the Niu Sanjin he pretended to be was just a nine-grade captain, a character who did not enter the stream, but today these people respect themselves very much, and can even be called flattery.

......

Weiyang Palace, brightly lit.

Outside Emperor Ming's bedroom, a large number of people knelt down, including the princes of the empire, the concubines in the palace, and the civil and military generals in the court.

Liu Aji walked out of the dormitory and said, "Your Majesty has been frightened, and you have fallen asleep after taking medicine, please go back." Your Majesty has commanded that no one shall be punished for today's events. ”

"Your Majesty is merciful. ”

Everyone dispersed one by one, and Liu Aji walked back to the room and saw Emperor Ming sitting on the couch, looking at the iron gun on the table.

"Your Majesty, everyone is gone. ”

"Well, have you found the three catties of the cow?"

"Your Majesty, I have been found by the city defense army, and I have some injuries on my body, so I asked the imperial doctor to see it, but there is no major problem. Liu Aji bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, this person has made a meritorious contribution to saving the driver this time, do you want to give him some rewards." ”

"Don't rush to reward him yet, if I have time, I want to meet this person in person. Emperor Ming brushed the iron gun on the table and asked, "Do you recognize this gun?"

Liu Aji was silent for a moment and said, "Looking at the assassin's moves, it should be the Lin family's wave-breaking gun." ”

"Yes, Wave Breaker. Emperor Ming said silently: "There are still people alive in the Lin family." ”

......

Cheng Dalei has already felt that life is a little different, since he was bedridden to recuperate, people often come to see him. They are all big names in the court, civil and military generals, royal relatives and nobles, and they never come empty-handed.

"Captain Niu, I have a horse of thousands of miles in the Western Regions, and I am worthy of a hero like Captain Niu. ”

"This steel sword is my beloved thing, hey, who told me that I and Captain Niu hit it off at first sight, and gave it to Captain Niu. ”

......

For example, big people like the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion naturally didn't come in person, but they also sent people to send gifts.

How can a nine-grade captain be worthy of a gift from a first-grade officer, the more Cheng Dalei pondered it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and gradually understood what was going on.

The so-called merit is better than saving the driver, the crime is nothing more than rebellion, after all, Cheng Dalei took a shot for Emperor Ming, not to mention his ability, this loyalty is rare. Will Emperor Ming forget him, his future will definitely not be small in the future, even if he is crowned the king and worships the prime minister, it is not an exaggeration.

Then don't hurry up and take advantage of his lack of development to slap him now.

In the past few days that Cheng Dalei has been in bed, several things have happened in the empire, the martial arts examination has begun, the literary and martial arts examinations, and a large number of people have been eliminated in the rounds.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Cheng Dalei, he is now the focus of care, and he is concentrating on recuperating at home. The imperial doctor came almost once a day, and all kinds of ginseng and tiger bones, Cheng Dalei was about to vomit.

On this day, Liu Aji personally brought a imperial doctor over, it was an old man, Cheng Dalei had never seen it before.

"The wound has healed, and I will be able to get out of bed in a few days. The old man said.

"Well, why haven't I seen you before, your surname?" asked Cheng Dalei while lying on the bed.

"The surname is Li. ”

"Oh, it's the same surname as the royal family. ”

The old man glanced at Liu Aji, Liu Aji got up and said, "Niu Sanjin, I'll go to the yard to breathe, and you will tell the imperial doctor." ”

With that, he got up and left the house, leaving only Cheng Dalei and the doctor in the room.

"It was very dangerous at that time, and you were not afraid of danger even if you worked hard?"

"Does it have anything to do with you? Cheng Dalei went back directly.

"Uh......" The expression on the old man's face changed: "Just ask, just ask, I heard that General Niu is from the northwest, is the situation there good?"

"What's good, I can't even eat, it's good to be alive. "Cheng Dalei has never been to the northwest, he is talking about the situation in Youzhou.

"Is it so miserable, then Captain Niu thinks, why do we lose more and win less in the war with the Rong clan?"

"Then you go and ask Emperor Ming, that old man, why ask me. ”

Cheng Dalei said in his mouth, thinking about what happened just now, the old man glanced at Liu Aji, and Cheng Dalei noticed it. As Liu Aji, why do you need to listen to the words of a imperial doctor, then Liu Aji is under one person, above ten thousand, and can make him obedient, unless he ......
