"General, the Censor has been gone for two hours. Can you please stop standing at the door?"
The captain of the guard frowned and followed Lin Shengqin's gaze into the distance until he reached the end of the street. After all, he couldn't hold back and followed him cautiously.
Lin Shengqin lowered his eyes slightly and looked sideways at the captain of the guard: "What did you say?"
The captain of the guard immediately wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly said with sincerity: "My subordinates said that the general cares about the people of Li, and it is understandable that he wants to personally see the streets here return to their former prosperity, but please do it in order to benefit more people.
People, please take care of your health."
After finishing this big call in one breath, the captain of the guard wanted to yell harshly, he was so damn smart!
Lin Shengqin responded softly, "Yeah" and nodded, but did not move.
The captain of the guard was sighing, thinking that all the advice he had just risked his life was in vain. At this time, a guard hurried out from the city lord's palace and saluted Lin Shengqin.
"General!"
Lin Shengqin turned his head and saw that it was the person he sent to protect the Wei family. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter?"
The guard replied respectfully: "Miss Wei Er wants to see you."
Wei Jingqi wants to see him?
Lin Shengqin raised his hand towards the guard: "Bring him to the study."
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and walked towards the city lord's mansion.
Seeing this, the captain of the guard rubbed his sweaty palms, sighed softly, and finally went in.
Almost as soon as Lin Shengqin arrived in the study, Wei Jingqi arrived right behind him.
She was dressed in plain clothes, with a white flower on her hair, and no makeup on her face. She looked extremely elegant and quiet, without any trace of her usual fierce look.
Miss Wei Er, who was once unruly and domineering, now learned to walk up to Lin Shengqin calmly and greeted Lin Shengqin with a blessing salute: "General Lin."
"I don't dare to take it seriously, Miss Wei Er is so polite!" Lin Shengqin stood up from his position and held an armrest towards Wei Jingqi.
Wei Jingqi stood up straight, raised her head, glanced at Lin Shengqin, and smiled lightly: "Why doesn't General Lin keep the Censor for a few more days?"
"There is a time in life, but there is no time in life. Don't force it. If she wants to stay or leave, I won't force her." Lin Shengqin said and glanced up at Wei Jingqi. Seeing her expression suddenly change, he couldn't help but cup his hands at her.
"You said it without meaning, and I offended the second lady. Please forgive me."
"No, it's all my own fault." Wei Jingqi smiled miserably, her composure when she first came in was clearly running out now.
What Lin Shengqin said didn't sound nice, but it was the truth. If she hadn't forced it at the beginning, the Wei family wouldn't have ended up like this.
However, she still couldn't let go and would rather die than let go.
Lin Shengqin said: "Second Miss, please sit down and I'll ask someone to serve you tea."
"No need," she raised her eyelids quickly and waved her hand towards Lin Shengqin hastily, "I came to see the general for a private matter. I will leave after I finish speaking."
Lin Shengqin's eyelids moved slightly, but the expression on his face did not change. He nodded towards her: "Please tell me."
Wei Jingqi said hurriedly: "I want to ask the general to allow me a small affair. I wonder if the general can give me Shaoyu's ashes."
"Mr. Ji's ashes?" Lin Shengqin frowned slightly, feeling really embarrassed.
Wei Jingqi looked at Lin Shengqin's expression, her heart suddenly tightened, and she said with some uneasiness: "Can't it?"
Lin Shengqin waved his hand: "It's not impossible, it's just because there were a lot of corpses to be burned at that time, so Mr. Ji's corpse was burned together with everyone, and the ashes couldn't be distinguished from each other."
"It's okay, I just want to know that he is there, so that I can think about it in the future." Wei Jingqi said as she knelt down to Lin Shengqin, "Please, General, grant my humble wish."
Lin Shengqin was no longer standing in front of the desk now. He walked around to the front in two steps and stretched out his hand to help Wei Jingqi up: "Second Miss, please don't break me. I'll just have someone take you to the cemetery."
After hearing this, Wei Jingqi sniffed, showed a smile, and gave Lin Shengqin another gift: "Thank you, General."
To be honest, Lin Shengqin was more or less surprised that Wei Jingqi would come to ask for Ji Shaoyu's ashes. Especially now, such an arrogant woman was in front of him again and again for the ashes of a dead man.
He almost knelt down, feeling somewhat inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.
"Can I take the liberty to ask Second Miss, don't you hate Mr. Ji?"
After all, the whole Wei family was almost wiped out, and it was all his fault. It's impossible to remain indifferent to such a huge hatred.
Wei Jingqi smiled foolishly, squinting her eyes slightly, not knowing where to look: "Hate him? Why not? And he should hate me more. But besides being a member of the Wei family, I, Wei Jingqi,
She is still Ji Shaoyu's legitimate wife, how can I let go of this? I have said it a long time ago, he and I will live together and die together, life after life, until death."
We live in the same quilt, we die in the same hole, life after life, we will never stop dying!
Lin Shengqin's heart was agitated by these words, as if countless waves were impacting his heart.
He always thought that love was a matter of mutual consent. He disdained the pity of others and did not want to force each other to be together.
He always thought that feelings would come naturally, like flowers blooming in spring, and it would be thousands of years before he lowered his head and raised his eyes.
He always thought that some feelings last forever in just one look.
I have never thought that some people's love is always full of possessive impulses. Even if the person is dead, they still want to lock their soul with them.
If Wei Jingqi had not fallen in love with Ji Shaoyu and would not have married him unless she had been married, then the tragedy of Ji Shaoyu's fiancée's family would not have happened. The Wei family is now almost exterminated, which is impossible.
But until now, she still can't let go.
No, it's not that I can't let go. It's because I've never had it, so in my humble heart, I want him to be mine even if I die.
Lin Shengqin's evaluation of Wei Jingqi was more sympathetic than anything else.
He waved the guard standing at the door to come in. He said a few words and asked Wei Jingqi to follow him out.
"Second Miss, please."
"Thank you, General."
Wei Jingqi slowly stepped back. She was wearing a pure white suit. She didn't know whether she wore it for the Wei family or for her husband who hated her so much.
Lin Shengqin rubbed his brows and just sat down to deal with the official affairs of Cang and Liuzhou when he saw a guard coming in, holding an iron cylinder in both hands and kneeling down to him: "General, this is a letter from the old general.
"
"Bring it here quickly." After hearing the letter from the old general, Lin Shengqin couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up personally, walked over and took the iron cylinder into his hand.
Letters in the military are all specially processed. The iron tube is as big as a bamboo tube and has many clips on it. Every general in the army has a specific card mark. When sending a letter, only the other party can open it.
Avoid the leakage of news.
He twisted the lid of the iron cylinder a few times, and after hearing a "click", he exerted more force, and the lid was opened, revealing the letter inside.
He reached out and took it out, shook it open quickly, and read the entire letter at a glance, his eyebrows suddenly showing a hint of coldness.
"Call the twelve captains of guards to come in."
The kneeling guard immediately ran out to announce the situation, and soon the room was filled with several generals who had come from various places.
Their bodies are tall and straight, burly and strong. It can be seen that they are all ruthless figures who have experienced hundreds of battles in the army.
Lin Shengqin passed the letter to them for a while, then took the letter back, lit a fire and burned it to ashes.
"Everyone has seen the old general's letter. What do you think?"
One of the tall and tall guards couldn't help but sigh, and said with some dissatisfaction: "The people here are living in dire straits, and the emperor still has something to plan for his sixtieth birthday. Thinking of so many brothers working for such a mediocre emperor.
, I can’t help but feel so angry!”
"Dazhuang, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing." The captain of the guard who had been following Lin Shengqin around before quickly scolded him.
Just forget it if a few of them heard this. If this spreads out, will he still want his life?
"Xu Lie, tell me." Lin Shengqin raised his chin at the captain of the guard, motioning for him to come and discuss his opinion.
Xu Lie immediately stood up and said: "The old general's letter mentioned that the emperor has not been in good health recently, and he organized a grand birthday banquet to celebrate. However, news came from Yancheng that Concubine Xue gave birth to a baby two days ago.
The first young prince of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, my subordinates estimate that the birthday banquet may be secondary, and the establishment of an heir is more serious."
"Establishing an heir? Do you mean to establish the little boy who is only a few days old as the prince?" That strong man was born with supernatural power, but his temper was really upright. Hearing this, he couldn't help but jumped, "Such a young child, he understands
How can we not govern the country?"
"Just because he doesn't understand, it doesn't mean that the people behind him don't understand. Don't forget who the little prince's mother and concubine are, and who his uncle is."
Xu Lie couldn't help but roll his eyes at Da Zhuang. Everyone knew things well, but he was really too lazy to say anything more. If he said more, he would be wrong.
Not long ago, the Lu family changed its owner overnight. Lu Haoran, who was originally disliked by everyone, suddenly became the head of the Lu family, controlling the lifeblood of Lu family, Ye family and Yuwen family with one hand.
In the palace, Concubine Xue, who has now squeezed out the empress and is favored by the empress, is his sister. His career at this moment can be said to be at its peak. He has been rising rapidly, directly squeezing out Qin Sanshao and becoming the most popular person in Yancheng.
New dignitary!
This was before Concubine Xue gave birth to the prince. Now that the little prince was born and the emperor was critically ill, if the little prince really ascended to the throne, then his status as Lu Haoran...
Xu Lie couldn't help but shiver when he thought of this. He raised his head and looked at Lin Shengqin, waiting for him to make a decision.
Lin Shengqin also had his own thoughts in mind, but at this moment he just said lightly: "Didn't the old general's letter ask us to go to Lincheng to celebrate the emperor's birthday? Let's go first, and we can talk about other things later."
"yes."
The chief guards raised their hands to Lin Shengqin and responded.
He waved his hand and let everyone go down.
Only Xu Lie stayed, looked around, came up to Lin Shengqin, and said quietly: "General, should we catch up with the Censor and go to Yancheng together?"
Lin Shengqin raised his head and saw that he hadn't left yet. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows and said softly: "Do you want to go out by yourself or do I kick you out?"
Xu Lie immediately ran away, running faster than a rabbit.
