The Grandmaster Strategist

After the princess returned to Yong, she followed the prince of Yongding County to Chang'an in the west. At the beginning, the prince was always worried about the court's punishment, so the princess served him day and night and never left. The king was in peace.

Taizong treated the princess well, and would always invite her to every banquet. Regardless of the royal family, nobles, or important civil and military officials, any slight would be punished. However, the princess is so handsome and dignified that everyone who sees her is awe-struck and no one dares to take it lightly.

At that time, the King of Qi relieved his military power and returned to the capital to serve as military counselor. He admired the princess for her loyalty, and expressed his sincere greetings to the prince of Yongding County. He wanted the princess to be his wife. The prince was afraid of his power and asked the princess to marry him. The princess was angry and entered the palace of the Prince of Qi with a sword. The prince knelt down to thank her. , the nearby servant told General Xianlong's last words, and the princess's anger was relieved, so she abandoned her.

——"Biography of Princess Jiaping of Yongshi"

Just when Lu Yun was staring at the smile of the young man in yellow, the three horses had passed by. At this moment, the young man in black suddenly said "Huh" and reined in the horse suddenly. , the black black-coned horse reared its head and neighed, and actually stopped at that moment. This shows that the horse is a good horse, and the riding skills of the young man in black are also very good. The two riders next to them had to grab a few feet before stopping their mounts, which showed that their riding skills were much inferior. On the other hand, the four guards following closely behind them reined in their horses and stopped almost silently. Those people pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords to covertly protect the three young men in front of them.

The young man in black sat high on his horse, pointed his whip at Lu Yun and asked, "Who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing in Chang'an?"

Lu Yun was shocked. He didn't know what flaws he had exposed, but after all, he was a general with extraordinary courage. At that moment, he was neither humble nor arrogant: "Xiao Ke's surname is Yun, his name is Yun Lu, he is from Nanchu, and he is following Shang this time. The team went to Chang'an to look for relatives."

At this time, the two young men on horseback also rode over. Lu Yun took the opportunity to look at these three people carefully. Just now, the three of them were galloping on horseback. They were quite far away, but they didn't look carefully. Now they were only more than ten feet apart, and Lu Yun had already You can clearly see the appearance and posture of the three people.

The young man in yellow has not yet grown up, has a beautiful face, and a snow-skinned appearance. If he looks closely, he should be only eleven or twelve years old. This is what Lu Yun judged based on his riding skills. After all, if a person is under ten years old If a child can ride like this, it would be a bit shocking, because this young man's skin is as delicate as gelatin, and his expression is charming and charming. Even if he is only nine or ten years old, some people would believe it. At this moment, the boy in yellow was playing with the delicate light green riding crop in his hand, looking at Lu Yun for a while, and then at the boy in black, with a pair of bright dark eyes showing strong curiosity.

The young man in black looked at him suspiciously in front of him. Although he was aggressive, had an old-fashioned tone, and looked like he could be the master of the family, Lu Yun took a closer look and found that this young man looked quite immature and should be similar to the young man in yellow. He seemed to be, at least, not older than himself, but there was a thick evil cloud between his brows, which made his expression a bit vicissitudes of life. In addition, he was quite tall, so he looked older.

But the young man riding the horse standing behind made Lu Yun most wary. The young man looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with an ordinary appearance and a gentle and elegant temperament. Although the horse under him was expensive, the clothes on his body and the whip in his hand were But they are all ordinary things. No matter how you look at it, this young man is just an ordinary young man, but he rides side by side with these two young men who seem to be of extraordinary origin at first sight, and his expression is calm, without any trace of Timid and restless demeanor. Lu Yun remembered that his father once warned him that such people were the most dangerous and he must be careful.

The young man in black didn't seem to care about Lu Yun's answer. He paused for a moment, then pointed his riding whip at the bow and arrow on Lu Yun's back and said, "This is a fine iron bow. It should have the power of three stones. If you can use it, With such a powerful bow, even an eight-foot tall man can join the army. Can you really use this bow and arrow?"

Lu Yun felt relieved, but it turned out that it was his own bow and arrow that caught the young man's attention. He said solemnly: "Xiao Ke has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, and his strength is pretty good. He can barely use this iron bow. He was originally quite proud, but Along the way, Xiao Ke saw many young warriors practicing bows and arrows in various places in Dayong.

Many people can also use such a strong bow, but it is rare to think about it. "

The boy in black heard Lu Yun's slightly mocking tone, which was a hint that he didn't need to make a fuss. He thought to himself, since this Nanchu boy dares to carry a three-stone strong bow to defend himself, it shows that he must be very confident in his own strength and archery. The Dayong boy Although he is good at martial arts, a warrior of his age can use a three-stone strong bow in the school field. If he really needs to use it for self-defense in combat, he can usually only use a two-stone bow and arrow. In terms of innate physical fitness, the Nanchu boy Although not as strong as the northerners, this young man can easily use the three-stone bow, which shows that his identity must be unusual. Thinking of this, he said coldly: "I see that your identity is unknown. It is very likely that you are a spy in Nanchu. You can follow me back to the house for questioning. If your identity is indeed innocent, I will let you go. If your identity is known, I will let you go." Ghost, don’t blame me for disposing of you.”

Lu Yun was secretly frightened, but he was also an arrogant person. He said coldly: "This young master is arrogant. Although Xiao Ke comes from a rough background, he also knows what the law is. The young master is young and must not be a member of the government. Why? Xiao Ke must be detained. Besides, Xiao Ke has come and gone to understand that the young master is arbitrarily accusing him of crimes. Is this how Dayong treats people from other countries?"

The young man in black raised his sword eyebrows and said: "You are eloquent, but unfortunately you have found the wrong person. I am Li Lin, the king of Jiajun. Why can't I ask you? Are you going to follow me yourself or will I ask someone to come to you?" You are captured back to the palace, and if you dare to disobey orders and escape, I will send an order to the imperial army to hunt you down, and then I will not be so polite to you."

Lu Yun was furious and couldn't help clenching his fists. No matter what his identity was, the young man in black wanted to take him back to the house without any evidence. Wouldn't he be bullying others? When he thought about it, he remembered what the young man had reported. His identity turned out to be a county king. Although he didn't know his identity, he was undoubtedly from the clan. Although he was suspicious of him from his tone, he was not sure. If he gained his trust, he might have a chance to get close to him. Jiangzhe, the Marquis of Chu County.

At this time, seeing that he was angry but dared not say anything, the young man in yellow felt soft in his heart and said: "Brother Lin, forget it, he is not much older than us, how can he be a spy? Aren't you looking at the strength of the strong bows used by others, and are you happy to see the hunter's heart, and want to force him to stay by your side as a bodyguard? If you do anything wrong, I will go and complain to uncle King Qi. Even if your uncle doesn't care about you, your aunt will not let you go. Pass you."

Lu Yun's heart was moved. He looked up and saw a suspicious red cloud flashing across the face of the young man in black. He turned away and said, "My father and mother will not blame me. His identity is indeed suspicious anyway."

At this time, the young man in yellow was furious, put his hands on his hips and said: "Li Lin, if you are disobedient like this again, I will go to Brother Jun and ask him to punish you severely. If I hadn't begged Brother Jun to let you out, you would be here now." I should be studying with Brother Jun."

The young man's voice was clear and gentle, and although he was cursing angrily with his hands on his hips, his charming and charming expression made Lu Yun feel dizzy. He was so dazed that he could no longer move his eyes. At this time, Li Lin, who was a little discouraged after hearing the young man's scolding, saw Lu Yun's obsessed look, and a ball of anger ignited in his heart. He whipped Lu Yun fiercely. On guard, the whip struck him hard on the shoulder, and his clothes were instantly torn and blood splattered. Lu Yun let out a cry of pain, stretched out his hand to hold the bow arm, and glared at the young man in black. At this time, the guards rode forward at the same time, looking at Lu Yun with a lingering look. Lu Yun felt a chill in his heart, and suppressed his anger and said: "No matter what kind of prince or king you are, you are too insulting."

Seeing his angry expression, Li Lin couldn't help but feel uneasy, and he couldn't help but feel that he had gone too far. After all, his companion's appearance and temperament were all top choices. This Nanchu boy just looked at him a few more times, so why should he be angry? He didn't know why he was angry just now, but no matter how he apologized, after all, his origin and temperament did not allow him to bow his head and apologize easily. But at this moment, when the young man in yellow saw the blood stains on Lu Yun's body, he screamed loudly and said, "Li Lin, you have gone too far. I will ask Uncle Qi Wang to restrain your feet." Then the young man jumped off his mount, Walking to Lu Yun, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and said to Lu Yun: "Don't worry about it. My brother Lin has such a temper. He doesn't mean any harm." After that, he took out the brocade bag from his waist. A bottle of wound medicine was used to cover Lu Yun's wounds.

Lu Yun was initially hesitant and couldn't bear to refuse, but a guard came closer and said, "Princess, let me help my subordinates to bandage this little brother's wounds." Lu Yun's heart trembled, this boy was actually a little girl. No wonder she has such a smart and delicate appearance. Then he remembered that the guard called the little girl Princess, and she must be from the Dayong royal family. His heart was in confusion. I don't know whether it was panic or disappointment. Lu Yun pushed the girl in yellow away fiercely and cursed: " There is no need for you to cry like a cat." The girl was pushed and staggered, almost falling. She had been pampered since she was a child. How could she have been so wronged? If she didn't want to apologize for her naughty "brother", how could she have wounded this strange boy? I didn't expect this young man to be so rude, and I couldn't help but burst into tears for a while. Li Lin originally stood aside with a cold face, thinking about how to win over Lu Yun. When he saw Lu Yun being so rude, he became even more furious. He pointed his riding whip and said, "How dare this little thief offend Princess Zhaohua? Give me Tie him up and take him back to the government to punish him."

Lu Yun was originally feeling guilty that he should not treat the kind girl like this. When he heard what Li Lin said, he felt like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. He knew the name of Princess Zhaohua. In order to assassinate Jiang Zhe, he secretly read the documents in his father's study before leaving. He learned that the Marquis of Chu County Jiang Zhe had an adopted daughter named Jiang Roulan. She was favored by the royal family and was given the title of Princess Zhaohua. The girl in front of him turned out to be Jiang Zhe's daughter. female. She was his father's younger junior sister. Regardless of her sect status, this girl's father was a traitor in Southern Chu and the enemy he wanted to assassinate. For some reason, he felt empty in his heart. Even the two guards came to tie him up. He also forgot to resist.

At this time, Li Lin yelled at Roulan again: "Look, even if you are so soft-hearted, this little thief is obviously a spy from Nanchu, and the people who are traveling with him should also be sent to Jing Zhaoyin for questioning." Let’s take a look and see if they have any problems?”

At this time, Song Jian and others, who had already complained in their hearts, had no choice but to step forward and plead: "Your Majesty, we are all businessmen who abide by the law. This little brother is not a spy. I beg your mercy."

Li Lin ignored them with a cold face. Several guards looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. One of them took out a horn, preparing to send out a warning signal to summon the patrolling Forbidden Army nearby.

At this time, Roulan, who had been scolded by Li Lin with tears in her eyes, said loudly: "Li Lin, are you done? If you continue to behave like this, I will never pay attention to you again. It is obviously you who provoked others first and provoked others." He was rude to me, so why are you bullying me even more now?"

Li Lin was also furious, pointed at Roulan and said: "I vented my anger on your behalf, but you don't appreciate it. Who are they to you? If they ask you to bother like this, is it because they are from Nanchu that you are so merciful? But Don’t forget, my uncle is from Nanchu, but you are not, you are from Dayong.”

Roulan covered her face and cried loudly after hearing this. She cried and said: "You, you are talking nonsense. It is obvious that you are unreasonable and like to act like a king. I don't want you to do anything wrong, but you scold me, wuwu, don't do it again in the future." I won’t ignore you anymore.” After saying that, he got on his horse and started to leave. Li Lin panicked and blocked Rou Lan’s path. He opened his mouth to apologize, but in full view of everyone, he couldn’t say anything and was so anxious that he was sweating like rain. Down.

At this time, the young man who had been watching with cold eyes said calmly: "Stop arguing, it's not a big deal. It's nothing to laugh at if you have a child's temper here. Lan'er, Prince Jia also wants to vent his anger on you, isn't it? I'm angry with you. Don't you know the prince's temper? As long as there is no problem with this little brother's identity, you won't embarrass him casually. You can only wrong him for a few days at most. If you don't do anything, the prince won't be so angry. ." Roulan listened blankly, and finally lowered her head and was speechless, the anger on her face gradually faded.

The young man said to Li Lin again: "Prince Jiajun, Lan'er is kind-hearted and doesn't like to see you bullying others. This is why she treats you as a close relative. There are so many powerful children in Chang'an. When have you ever seen so many Roulan?" Just mind other people's business."

After hearing this, Li Lin's expression gradually softened and he said in a low voice: "Brother Huo, it's my fault. I shouldn't be happy to see Hunter Xin and make things difficult for him." After saying this, he waved his hand and asked the guards to let Lu Yun go.

Lu Yun gently rubbed the rope mark on his wrist, as if he was in a dream. At this time, the young man named Huo stepped forward and said: "This little brother, although Prince Jia is a bit too much, you are too arrogant. , although people cannot be spineless, but how can you be willful when you are alone outside? Besides, my Lan'er always treats you with courtesy, so you shouldn't vent your anger on her. Here are twenty taels of silver to heal your wounds and calm down your shock. Don't refuse. This is a courtesy and a favor. Since you are here to find relatives in Chang'an, there must be some difficulties. If there is any inconvenience, you can go to Ningguo Changle Princess's house to find me. My name is Huo Cong. I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the imperial city. , just give the message to the guards at the Suzaku Gate."

Lu Yun's mood has calmed down. Although he doesn't know the identity of this young man, he is so close to Princess Zhaohua, but he treats Li Lin as the princess, and Li Lin also calls him eldest brother. His identity is becoming more and more confusing, but Since he lives in Jiang Zhe's house, he must have a deep relationship with the Jiang family, and he calmed down the quarrel between Li Lin and Jiang Roulan with just a few words. His words to himself were also polite and polite. If he hadn't saved If you lose all evil intentions, your anger will disappear. As my father said, such people are really terrible.

He bowed and said: "Thank you for your teachings, brother. I am also a little ignorant of the world, and I have offended the prince and princess a lot. Please forgive me. Yunhui has been in Chang'an for many days. If the prince and princess have something to do, For consultation, even if someone summons Xiao Ke, if there is an assignment, Xiao Ke will definitely serve."

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the young man named Huo, and he smiled and said: "This is the best." After saying that, he got on his horse and bowed with a smile. At this time, Li Lin had already impatiently rode away, Roulan followed closely. , she still smiled at Lu Yun before leaving. There were still tears on her face, but this smile bloomed like a spring flower, and the unhappiness just now could no longer be seen. The young man named Huo and several guards also chased after him on horseback.

Those businessmen who had escaped either complained or tried to persuade them, but Lu Yun didn't take them to heart. At this moment, he was thinking about how to take advantage of today's chance encounter. These people must all have a close relationship with Jiang Zhe. Li Lin, the king of Jiajun, is a decisive and vicious person at first sight. If he notices something strange about him, he may be imprisoned and tortured to extract a confession before he has any real evidence. That Huo Cong is probably also a scheming person. Not to mention the guards around Jiang Zhe, but these two young men have made him very wary. It is Jiang Roulan, the princess of Zhaohua County. She is a proud daughter of heaven who is loved by all. , and being so kind and innocent, will definitely not become an obstacle to him, and may even be his help, allowing him to find a good opportunity to get close to Jiang Zhe. Thinking like this, Lu Yun suddenly became disgusted with himself. When did he become such an insidious person, and he actually wanted to use that girl to assassinate her father.

Regardless of the self-condemnation in Lu Yun's heart, the three boys and girls quickly returned to the imperial city. Li Lin only sent Rou Lan to the door of his house and fled without looking back. He did not want to see Rou Lan in front of him. When he complained to him, just thinking of his uncle's strange smiling eyes made him feel chilly from the bottom of his heart. Speaking of which, my uncle's temperament is really strange. Although the emperor's uncle loves him so much, he would rather report illness and live in seclusion in Hanyuan all the year round. He often forces the emperor's uncle and his father to seek advice from him. That's all. After all, it was a major military matter, and he didn't bother to care about it. Anyway, he didn't need to worry about it in the future. The only thing that makes Li Lin uncomfortable is that this uncle's biggest hobby is bullying his own children, Jiang Roulan and Jiang Shen, and he has never tired of doing it for so many years. Now that Lan'er relies on the support of the queen and the prince, she is no longer so worried. Jiang Shen, at a young age, knew how to hide in Fuyun Temple and never go home. If he came home, he would always run to his own home, especially his younger sister Li Ning. After he was born, the kid didn't even want to go home. What's hateful is that my uncle can't bully his children, but somehow he targets himself again. Every time he goes to his place, he will find an excuse to tease her. This time he made Roulan cry in anger, and he will definitely not let her go. Opportunity. Thinking of this, Li Lin wished he had never met this uncle before. He wondered why he thought his uncle was so amiable in the first place. It must have been because of his youth and ignorance.
