Chapter 999(2/3)
Zhang Ba said, "The Duke of our country is eagerly awaiting Duke Luo in northern Xinjiang." Luo Cai was silent.
Going to Northern Xinjiang means betraying the emperor.
For veteran bureaucrats like Luo Cai, this decision is somewhat difficult.
"Gong Luo, if Chang'an is worth assisting, the Duke will naturally be loyal to you."
So do you!
Is this emperor worthy of your assistance?
Luo Cai took a deep breath, "My family..."
"Our people have a caravan in Chang'an. When Luo Gong returned home from his official duties, our people sent their family members away first and took another road to ensure that everything was safe. Luo Gong followed Jinyiwei's people straight to Northern Xinjiang. We must hurry up on this journey.
, so there are doctors accompanying him. But Luo Gong will have to suffer a lot."
"I am not afraid of suffering!"
Luo Cai poured a glass of wine and slowly poured it in front of the mat, crying, "Oh Emperor Wu!"
It turned out that this person who had always been loyal to Emperor Wu was... Zhang Ba was shocked.
Luo Cai put down his wine glass and suddenly asked, "What if I still want to stay in Chang'an?"
Zhang Ba said calmly, "The Duke has said that we must use all means to ensure that Duke Luo goes to Northern Xinjiang."
"Whatever it takes?"
"Yes, I'm ready to send someone a message, saying that Luo Gong despises the emperor and calls the emperor an old thief..."
"grass!"
…
Zhang Ba left Luo's house and was greeted by someone.
"how?"
"appropriate."
"good!"
Zhang Ba looked around and said, "Jiao Lin (This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue)"
Are there any brothers watching over there?"
"Staring."
"Where is he now?"
"There are dozens of sergeants guarding the outer room, and they say it's authorized by Jinwu Guards."
Zhang Ba looked at the dim moonlight and said, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, it's a murderous night!"
·····
Jiao Lin is in Jinwu Guard.
It was dark at night, and a general glanced into the duty room. Seeing Jiao Lin there, he asked: "Old Jiao, it's not duty tonight, why don't you go back?"
Who doesn't know that Jiao Lin offended Bei Xinjiang?
At this time, he was hiding in Jinwu Guard just to avoid possible danger.
The seemingly well-intentioned question from the general outside the door was actually a pushback and ridicule.
Jiao Lin cursed, "***, get out!"
The general outside the door chuckled, "How about you go hide in my house?"
This laughter, combined with these words, looked like a knife poking Jiao Lin's lungs.
Jiao Lin said coldly, "Everyone goes his own way. It's best to walk steadily on your own path. Lonely souls and wandering ghosts, be careful of being caught!"
He was about to follow the father-in-law all the way to the dark side, but the general outside the door was a lonely ghost.
The so-called lonely ghost means that he has no backing.
This kind of person is always at the bottom of the queue for promotion, and all the dirty work is thrown to him. If something happens, he will have to take the blame... In the past, Jiao Lin looked down on this person and often ridiculed him. Today, the situation has changed, and he
How can I bear it?
The general outside the door laughed and said, "It's hard to be a lonely ghost, but there is one advantage, that is, you can eat well, sleep well, don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. As for future and wealth, these are all in your destiny.
something.”
After the general left, a faint voice came. "Sometimes are in your destiny, but you must have them. Don't force yourself in your destiny." Jiao Lin sat there, sneering.
"What does fate mean? If you don't fight for it, how can you get wealth?"
He felt hungry and asked someone to get some food.
There is nothing fancy in the evening, just noodles and soup.
"General!"
The simple meals were placed on the table, and my friend smiled and sniffed, a little greedy.
Jiao Lin looked at the food and suddenly looked up at his confidant, "Wang Mazi, you have been following me for several years."
The confidant smiled and said, "No, following the general is considered a blessing."
Jiao Lin smiled and said, "Look at you, your beard and hair are all white. It shows that you have been working hard these days. I can't finish all these meals, so I went to get bowls and chopsticks."
The confidant was panicking, "I don't dare!"
This is an era where there is a clear distinction between superiority and inferiority. When a superior eats a meal, there is no rule about sharing the share with the subordinates. This is a taboo.
But Jiao Lin couldn't refuse and said, "Go!"
The confidant went to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Jiao Lin poured him half a bowl of soup and gave him a piece of cake. "You have been with me for these years and you have endured hardships. It is difficult now, but the more difficult it is, the more you have to stand tall."
, hold your head high. After passing through this crisis-ridden road, we can take a step forward. When the time comes, we will share the glory and wealth!"
The confidant choked with gratitude and said, "Thank you so much, General. With just one word from the General, the wind will come and the fire will go. The villain will take care of you."
“Eat it!“
Jiao Lin said.
The confidant was holding bowls and chopsticks, so naturally he didn't dare to sit across from him, so he went to the door and squatted to eat.
A mouthful of cake and a mouthful of soup will make your heart and soul happy.
"Wang Mazi, the food tastes delicious! Why are you crying?"
There was a lantern hanging above the confidant's head, and people passing by could see it clearly. When they saw him crying, they laughed at him.
"It's delicious." Wang Mazi wiped his tears and continued eating.
Jiao Lin sat behind the desk, took out a wooden box, opened it, took out the copper coins and silver ingots inside, and poured the pancakes and half a bowl of soup into it.
His eyes were deep and he said softly: "Jin Yiwei, I heard that he acted cruelly and strangely, but how could I wait for a chance for you?"
Wang Mazi finished eating and turned around to thank him.
"Take the dishes and chopsticks away!"
Jiao Lin waved his hands, looking calm.
Wang Mazi also took away his bowl and chopsticks. When he saw a small lump of meat at the bottom of the bowl, he reached out and picked it up to eat.
“It tastes really good!”
In the early morning, the shift started.
"Lao Jiao, are you planning to stay on duty continuously?"
(This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue)
A general asked when he saw Jiao Lin taking a nap in the watch room.
Jiao Lin opened his eyes and saw a lot of bloodshot eyes, "Ah!"
The general saw that he was confused and did not want to repeat the question, "Old Jiao, take care of yourself!"
Jiao Lin waved his hands and got up to wash up.
At the same time, Zhang Ba was also washing up.
"ah……"
He raised his head and rinsed his mouth, and the man next to him said, "Jiao Lin was at Jinwu Guard last night."
"On duty?"
"No, he wasn't on duty last night."
"That is avoidance. Your mouth is stiff and your heart is desolate."
"Yes, I'm in charge, but do you want to take action?"
"Keep an eye on him first."
