" Brother Jing…" General's wife, Lin Jinhua, looked at her husband, who was about to get up, with misty eyes." What are you doing?"”As he spoke, he also stood up.
Nalan Jinghe hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop his wife."Lin Chuan just said that there's an urgent military report. I'll go take a look."
Lin Jinhua looked outside and saw the shadow of a hunched young man reflected on the window. Lin Chuan was probably the one who felt sorry for his husband and struggled to get up."I can make tea for you."
" No need." General Nalan simply pressed his wife down." You should rest. Be careful not to have a headache tomorrow." I'll be right back."
Lin Jinhua blushed and could only agree. She obediently stopped moving.
General Nalan pecked his wife's forehead in satisfaction and got up to get dressed. She went out and led Lin Chuan to the study room in Jingxi Garden. The messenger was still waiting there.
"Do you know what it is?" General Nalan didn't even turn his head. It could be seen that they were really anxious. The border had been peaceful for so many years, so they must not cause any more trouble.
"I don't know, but there probably won't be a war. The messenger was General Lin Bai Cheng's messenger, not the messenger from the army.”Lin Chuan's expression was serious, and he was a little worried. Both he and Lin Ping had been on the battlefield with the general. The fact that General Lin sent a letter meant that there was not a rebellion, but an internal disaster.
Nalan Jinghe's expression tensed up when he heard this. Lin Baicheng was his best friend and was cautious by nature. He was known as the military's think tank. Even he could not solve it himself and had to send a message to him, who was thousands of miles away. This proved that the matter was indeed a little serious. Feeling anxious, he quickened his pace.
After a few twists and turns, he finally saw the main door of the study. A tall man in gray was waiting outside the room. Nalan Jinghe instructed Lin Chuan to stand guard outside the door before bringing the messenger into the study.
" Messenger..." Nalan Jinghe was about to ask what the message was when he saw the messenger raise his finger to his mouth and make a hush gesture. Then, he walked to the bookshelf and raised his hand to turn the jade carving cabbage on the highest shelf. With a light click, the bookshelf moved to the side, and a small secret door appeared in front of him. The man in gray waved at General Nalan and walked in first. Nalan Jinghe's face was solemn as he silently followed behind.
The bookshelf slowly moved back.
"Where is the general?" Lin Chuan lowered his head and stood guard outside the door. He heard a gentle voice beside him. Lin Chuan looked up and saw the general's new concubine, Li Mingyan. Lin Chuan had followed the general for many years and was very familiar with the general's manor. He respected the general's wife even more. The general had been fighting for many years, and it was hard for the general's wife to take care of the family business. For so many years, she had taken care of the general and taught the young master and young miss to be handsome. To those who had come to the General's Estate, whether it was the deputy general or the soldiers, they were very kind and polite. Many people in the army had their families taken care of by their wives. At this moment, Lin Chuan looked at Li Mingyan, who was standing in the night wind and wrapped in a lotus-colored cloak, looking even more delicate and moving. He was very dissatisfied. However, he was still a servant and couldn't go beyond the rules. He still bowed and replied indifferently,"The general is in a meeting."
"I brought some pastries over. It's already so late, General Xiang Bi will need some.”Li Mingyan raised her hand. Only then did Lin Chuan see the food box in her hand.
"The general has instructed us not to disturb you. It's late at night and the dew is heavy. You should go back first.”Lin Chuan snorted in his heart. His face was even more expressionless.
"Go and ask. "Perhaps General…" Li Mingyan refused to give up.
"General said not to disturb." Lin Chuan didn't even raise his head. He stood firmly in front of the study door, not moving at all.
Li Mingyan felt bitter. This was the general's personal servant, so she couldn't offend him. His expression softened and he said gently,"Then I'll wait in the tea room. When the general comes out, please let him know.”With that, she walked over gracefully.
Lin Chuan's face was so dark that it could be seen in the night.
" You…" In the secret chamber, General Nalan spoke again, but he was shocked by the man in gray's action.
The man in grey faced Nalan Jinghe and placed his hand on his face. With a tear, he changed his face. His face was pale, and there was not a trace of blood on his cheeks. However, his eyes were sharp and full of heroic spirit. It was Lin Baicheng, who should be far away at the border.
" Lin…" General Nalan's expression was uncertain." Brother Lin, why are you here?"”
Lin Baicheng wiped his face but did not say anything. He turned around and went to the desk. He picked up a pen and wrote something on the paper. The more Nalan Jinghe looked, the more he felt that something was wrong. A look of shock and pain flashed across his eyes, but he remained calm and said nothing. Warriors never needed pity.
He walked to the table and looked at Lin Bai Cheng's handwriting."I'm now a traitor.”
"Who is it?" Nalan Jinghe's question was without rhyme or reason, but Lin Bai Cheng understood. He was asking who framed him and who made him mute.
The eyes of this tough man who had survived many battles and corpses, who was still laughing and laughing under the brutal interrogation of his own people, and who was still self-reliant under the accusations of being unreasonable, turned red at this moment. He believed in himself. Without any hesitation.
After stabilizing his emotions, Lin Bai Cheng wrote on the paper again, and he forcefully wrote three words on the back of the paper. It was deeply carved into his bones.
Nalan Jinghe's brows furrowed tightly after reading the letter. After a while, he said,""It's been hard on you."
Lin Baicheng shook his head slowly. This time, Nalan Jinghe understood. He was telling himself that for Dong Jing, everything was worth it.
"Brother Lin, in the future, you can stay in my residence under the alias Cheng Bailin. This matter could not be resolved in a short period of time. Rome wasn't built in a day."
Lin Bai Cheng nodded slowly. He was here to inform his best friend to pay attention to that person. He was a little wary and did not consider where he was going to go. It would be good if he could stay here. The world was so big that he didn't know where to go. But…
Nalan Jinghe saw Lin Bai Cheng writing " Will it be…" on the white paper again. He reached out and pressed down on Lin Bai Cheng's arm, slowly exerting force."Brother Lin." Lin Baicheng smiled in relief. He finally had a hint of the handsome appearance he had when he was in the military.
He was afraid of implicating Nalan Jinghe, but Nalan Jinghe's 'Brother Lin' was telling him that they were brothers. If he said anything more, he shouldn't have.
"In the future…you will be the instructor of the academy's drill ground, hiding in the city.”Nalan Jinghe thought for a while before saying," Qinglang, you should train yourself." He's still your nephew."
Lin Bai Cheng smiled and nodded. He was born in the wilderness and had no family. At this moment, he finally had some thoughts about his future life and was no longer in a dead state. He had seen Nalan Qinglang before. He was a good seedling. In the future, perhaps he could also be conferred the title of general or something.
Nalan Jinghe knew that although Lin Bai Cheng was smiling now, the pain in his heart still needed time. She didn't say anything else and brought him out. It was late at night, and he should rest. He probably did not have a good night's sleep along the way.
"Lin Chuan, bring Instructor Cheng Bailin to rest. First, clean up a room on the drill ground.”Nalan Jinghe instructed. Lin Bai and Cheng Fu put on the human skin mask again.
"Yes, I am. General. "Lin Chuan bowed. He was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything. Then, although she was not happy, she continued," The Second Mistress came over just now and is waiting in the tea room.”
"Oh?" Nalan Jinghe looked surprised. He looked in the direction of the tea room and waved his hand casually." Take the instructor to rest. I'll go take a look."”
Lin Bai Cheng did not say a word and followed Lin Chuan. Nalan Jinghe stared at it for a long time before finally sighing. He extinguished the candles in the study and walked towards the tea room.
Pushing open the door, he saw Li Mingyan leaning against the back of the chair and resting with her eyes closed. At this moment, Li Mingyan had taken off her plain clothes and was draped in a lotus-colored cloak. The middle was slightly open, revealing the light pink lapel underneath. It was actually a thin inner garment. Her head was slightly tilted, and her long hair draped over her shoulders, looking pure and alluring. Her wrist was hanging in front of her, revealing a fair arm with a green bracelet on it, making her look as soft as jade.
Nalan Jinghe's face turned red as he coughed lightly. Li Mingyan had not fallen asleep in the first place. She had noticed Nalan Jinghe the moment he entered. She had waited for this opportunity for so long. She had stuffed a lot of money into the manservant at the door before the manservant agreed to let her know every time General Nalan came alone late at night.
Now, he was right next to her, but he didn't know how to carry her back to her room. He really didn't know how to be flirtatious. Helpless, she could only open her eyes and look at her husband.
"Husband." Her eyes were as gentle as honey." It's late at night. I came to bring you some food.”
As he spoke, he opened the food box and took out four exquisite pastries. The plum fragrance was dawn, the pine moon contained spring, the crab fragrance was crisp, and the thousand layers of sweetness. Men rarely liked desserts, and these were the things that General Nalan would occasionally eat. It was obvious that he had thought about it.
General Nalan couldn't refuse, so he sat down and took two mouthfuls of the refreshing food. Li Mingyan was delighted.
After a while, when Li Mingyan saw General Nalan put down his chopsticks, she politely put away the plate. She approached and asked softly,"Husband."”
"It's late. Go back and rest." Nalan Jinghe said after a while, his expression somewhat complicated.
It wasn't that he didn't want to hug the woman in front of him at that moment. She was gentle, beautiful, and young. She had waited for him here for half a night. She was also his wife. However, he didn't know what it was. The moment he was about to walk into her, he suddenly thought of the tear his wife had left in his arms last night. Although it could be explained as being unable to control his emotions, he could clearly feel his wife's grief. It was hard to explain.
Just like at this moment, for some reason, he could not hug her.
Li Mingyan's heart palpitated. She bowed and walked out. Her long hair brushed past her face, and her expression was inexplicable, unable to distinguish between joy and sorrow.
Qing Huan stood outside the window. With the help of the light, she saw the complicated expression on her father's face and the tear at the corner of Li Mingyan's eye. Sighing softly, he turned around and left. He was no longer in the mood to search for the Cold Scale Manual.# Cancel review all: wdd201302 Time:111420185:56PM
