359 Her lamp is darker than anyone elses

Seeing that the shadow of Luo Guanlin's feet was still alive, Wang Yuecai took two steps forward excitedly and held Luo Guanlin's shoulders. Then his two hands tremblingly moved up along the shoulders, first to the neck, and then to the face, with an expression that seemed extremely concerned but not caring.

Dare to believe what I see before me: "Guan Lin, it really is you...!"

"There is no need to test my body temperature and breath..." Luo Guanlin, who was being held tremblingly by his friend, frowned and said, "I am a human, not a ghost."

Wang Yue paused with his hand, coughed slightly, then took back his hand and pressed the tears that appeared in the corners of his eyes: "I feel relieved when I see that you are really alive."

After saying that, he quickly turned around and closed the window tightly, turned back, and then lowered his voice and asked: "But how can you still dare to hide in Jiangdu City now? Aren't you afraid of running into the hands of Chang Suining, the governor of Jiangdu?"

Luo Guanlin: "..." There is no room for him to hit her hand anymore.

Wang Yue came closer again, with a frightened and worried look on his face: "Guan Lin, you are in the dark under the lamp!"

Luo Guanlin was silent, what was dark under the lamp? That lamp was darker for her than anyone else.

"Or..." Wang Yue grabbed one of Luo Guanlin's arms and asked seriously: "Or do you mean to avenge your old master Xu Zhengye? So you are dormant here?"

"I know you value love and righteousness, but how can you compete with Chang Sui Ning who has a heavy army on your own, without the strength to tie a chicken?" Wang Yue advised: "Guan Lin, listen to me, you

It's extremely difficult to save your life, so don't be stubborn anymore..."

Luo Guanlin, who had never had a chance to speak, raised his hand to interrupt his worried friend: "Wangshan, why don't you listen to me first..."

Wang Yue shook his head, and first took Luo Guanlin to sit down in the chair: "Guanlin, no matter what, you have to think about your family members now... Nowadays, war and banditry are rampant, but are they all safe?"

Family members are always weak points, and Wang Yue attempts to use family affection to awaken his friends' sleeping sanity.

Luo Guanlin: "I feel safe at home."

"That's so lucky!" Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Because he wanted to test and appease his friend, he immediately took the initiative in the conversation: "Speaking of which, how did you escape across the sea and hide the truth?"

Luo Guanlin: "It's a long story..." Let's start with a sack.

Wang Yue was not in a hurry to ask, and just sighed: "You have also experienced nine deaths this time..."

After thinking for a while, he thought in a low voice: "However, I can let you escape from under my nose without finding anything. If you put it this way... Chang Sui Ning is not as miraculous as the rumors say."

As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled: "As expected, rumors are always exaggerated and should not be fully believed."

Seeing his friend's composure, Luo Guanlin's mood was particularly complicated.

Wang Yue was also quietly paying attention to Luo Guanlin's reaction. At this moment, seeing that Luo Guanlin did not accept his comments about Chang Sui Ning, and there was no sense of righteous anger and hatred, Wang Yue felt relieved, raised his hand to pour two cups of tea, and pushed one to

Luo Guanlin.

While speaking, he comforted: "Life in this world is like a boat on the sea, with ups and downs. There is no need to mention the past. It is a great blessing that you and I can have the opportunity to reunite today..."

The two of them had tea instead of wine, celebrating this precious reunion after narrowly escaping death.

After drinking half a cup, Wang Yuecai said: "Guan Lin, after all, your long stay in Jiangdu is not a long-term plan... What are your plans for the future? If there is anything I can do to help, you don't need to see me, just say it."

They have known each other since they were young and have a deep relationship. As the current situation is unpredictable, it is even more important for family friends to take care of and support each other.

Luo Guanlin didn't answer but asked: "Wangshan, do you have any plans?"

Mentioning this, Wang Yue, who has always had an easy-going and gentle temper, showed a trace of sadness on his eyebrows: "Since the reappearance of the Japanese pirates, the King of Yue has been aggressively expanding his troops and recruiting talents... Qiantang is adjacent to Yuezhou, and the King of Yue has also

People came to my door twice."

Luo Guanlin's face changed slightly.

Although Yuezhou is also close to the East China Sea, this time the Japanese pirates were targeting Jiangdu and Runzhou, which were weak after the war, so the war defense line was mostly in the waters adjacent to the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea.

Of course, it is always a good thing for Yuezhou to be vigilant and deploy defenses. Chang Sui Ning has said more than once that the coastal defenses in the entire Yellow Sea and East China Sea waters must be reorganized, and no one can be lax to give the Japanese pirates an opportunity to exploit——

It is understandable to clean up the coastal defense and train the navy, but to expand the army and recruit talented people...

And the hand of recruiting talents has even extended beyond Yuezhou to Qiantang...Now the vassal kings everywhere are ready to make a move, and it seems that the Yue King Li Su is no exception, and he probably wants to take advantage of the opportunity to build momentum.

Luo Guanlin looked at Wang Yue: "Then are you planning to agree to the King of Yue's recruitment?"

Wang Yue sighed: "I haven't thought about it yet..."

Looking at his friend's undecided expression, Luo Guanlin understood silently. Wang Yue was most afraid of making choices and decisions. This was the case when he was young. If you gave him a pen, he would happily accept it, but if you asked him to buy a pen,

He will definitely be able to choose in the pen and ink shop for most of the day, and in the end, nine times out of ten, he will have to use "pointing out soldiers and generals" to choose the final shot.

With such a big deal like a pen, it would be even more difficult to make a decision.

Therefore, Luo Guanlin had told Chang Suining beforehand that Wang Wangshan was a man of extraordinary knowledge, a man of great magnanimity in accepting people and things, and was good at planning but not good at making decisions.

"Guan Lin, you know me best..." This topic aroused Wang Yue's hard thinking, and he subconsciously said: "How about you help me think about it and make an idea?"

After finishing speaking, he quickly regained consciousness and waved his hands, sighing: "That's all, your ability to choose people is not very good... I always fail to choose, and you always choose wrong."

Luo Guanlin's expression twisted. The past things that were agreed upon were already done, why should we mention them again?

Wang Yue was obviously more afraid of making the wrong choice than not being chosen. Therefore, although he was a well-known figure in Qiantang over the years, he never got involved in disputes among outsiders. But only Luo Guanlin knew best. It was not that he didn't want to get involved, but he didn't know which direction to get involved.

Sometimes he has just spotted a person and wants to be a guest in his house or something. However, before he has thought about it, the other side has already collapsed, so he can only sigh, "Not my good master", and then silently look for him.

Next.

Looking at his undecided friend, Luo Guanlin inexplicably felt that Chang Suining was quite suitable. If he succeeded, he would succeed. If not, he would just put a sack on him and carry him away. He had no choice at all, but it saved him the pain of making a decision.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Yue knew nothing about his friend’s sinister intentions, and was still thinking about the matter of the King of Yue, and then considered: “But since you have been in officialdom for a long time, you should treat the King of Yue more.

Understood, could you tell me how you treat other people everywhere?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Wang Yue immediately asked: "Is the food here?"

Luo Guanlin: "..." The vegetable collector is here.

Wang Yue, who had no idea that he was just a dish, saw the door of the private room being pushed open, and the person who walked in was not a restaurant waiter——

A tall and fair-skinned young man wearing a light green embroidered auspicious cloud gauze robe walked in with his hands behind his hands. He smiled before he opened his mouth and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. The food and drinks will be here shortly."

Hearing the undisguised voice of the girl, Wang Yue was startled again, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Luo Guanlin. When Luo Guanlin and the girl's eyes met, there was no strange or unexpected look——

Wang Yue was startled, then asked his friend with a smile: "Is this your beloved?"

Luo Guanlin: "?"

He is not so lucky!

As the door behind the girl was closed from the outside, Wang Yue acquiesced to this fact and stood up with a smile: "...You have grown so big in the blink of an eye! I think I was just a three or four-year-old baby back then!

"

As he said that, he couldn't help complaining to his friend: "...Guan Lin, when did you actually bring your child to Jiangdu? And you didn't even mention a word in the letter, but I, the uncle, couldn't even prepare a meeting gift.

!”

Is this place in Jiangdu a place where children should come? He just wears a mask to hide his identity all day long. Look at the pressure on the children, and he doesn't even dare to dress up like his daughter!

Luo Guanlin swung wildly between being unbearable and feeling guilty towards his friend, and chose to close his eyes temporarily: "...Wangshan, she is not Xi'er."

Wang Yue was suddenly confused. If it wasn't his great niece, who could it be?

The visitor quickly gave him the answer.

In Wang Yue's sight, he only saw the girl with an exceptionally neat temperament raising her hand to him and saying with a smile: "Chang Sui Ning of the Governor's Office has met Mr. Wang."

A huge crack suddenly appeared on Wang Yue's confused expression, like the sky and the earth collapsing——

who?

Chang Sui Ning?!

He looked at Luo Guanlin beside him almost subconsciously, with an unexplainable fear - it was not him who caused it!

Yes, he is very suspicious. He learned the secret of his friend's escape from death in the letter, and specifically scheduled to meet again at noon today... But it really wasn't him who told the secret!

How could he be the kind of person who betrays his friends for glory?

In a panic, Wang Yue hurriedly stood in front of his friend who stood up slowly, and said urgently: "Guan Lin, this matter is strange, but please listen to my explanation..."

"...You don't need to explain." Luo Guanlin held down one of his friend's arms, took a step forward, and looked at Chang Suining: "Chang Suining came with me."

Wang Yue's anxious emotions were immediately frozen, and he was like an ice sculpture. He turned his head and looked at Luo Guanlin almost stiffly: "...what?"

Luo Guanlin's tone was complex: "Wangshan, I am now... working for the Governor Chang in the governor's house in Jiangdu."

Hearing this, the ice sculpture of Wang Yue gradually burst into pieces.

[In the governor's house, working for the governor Chang] - It's a very simple sentence, but to Wang Yue at this moment, it is dryer and harder than the one fried by his old mother at home. It has been stored for a year and has not been eaten yet, and it has already become fat.

Moldy New Year balls are even more difficult to chew and digest.

After finally putting his shattered thinking ability back together, the first thought that came to Wang Yue's mind was - was his friend being coerced?

He silently grabbed Luo Guanlin's arm and asked with his eyes.

At the moment, Luo Guanlin could only say good things for Chang Suining against his will: "...Wangshan, it was Chang Suining who saved me from the beginning, faked the illusion of self-immolation for me, changed my identity, and kept me as the governor.

Inside the mansion.”

Chang Sui Ning showed a kind smile at the right time.

Wang Yue could only respond with a stiff smile, and then continued to wear this stiff smile and asked his friend: "Such a big event... why didn't you mention it in the letter?"

Luo Guanlin: "I didn't have time to elaborate."

Wang Yue's smile became stiffer and stiffer. When writing a letter, is there still a saying that "there was no time"? What's the matter? Did the brush catch fire when he was writing the letter? Or did the knife rest on his neck?

Fake, all fake!

Obviously, he was the one who was "sold"!

And while "selling" him, you must also be on guard against him!

Luo Guanlin worked so hard, which shows that he was not coerced, but willing!

Just after the old master died, he voted for the new master. This man named Luo would not be idle for a moment, and there was no window left!

Wang Yue was angry and anxious. He wanted to run away, but he didn't dare to move in front of the girl's smiling face. It felt like being stared at by a ferocious beast. If he dared to run, the other party would dare to tear him to pieces even worse than his old mother.

The batter leaves are still broken if the pot is left in the pot for too long.

"Sir, there is no need to panic. I have no ill intentions towards you." Chang Suining randomly found a chair and sat down. He raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down and said, "It was Mr. Luo who recommended him to me, so I asked Mr. Luo to go there."

This letter invites you to come to Jiangdu as a guest."

Wang Yue could only raise his hand in a slightly restrained manner and then took his seat.

Chang Sui Ning asked in a casual tone: "What were the two gentlemen talking about just now?"

Luo Guanlin: "We are talking about the king of Yue."

While talking, he glanced at Wang Yue.

Wang Yue scolded him again in his heart.

"Li Su, King of Yue." Chang Sui Ning said: "As far as I know, this person's greatest strength is that he listens to advice."

Wang Yue looked at her hesitantly.

Then she said: "But he will listen to everyone's advice. He lacks independent opinions and often changes his orders day by day."

Luo Guanlin also looked at Chang Sui Ning, why did he say it as if she knew the King of Yue very well?

"It is difficult for such people to achieve great things, and they are easily deceived and exploited." Chang Sui Ning said to Wang Yue in a pertinent tone: "Sir, if you invest in his house and want to make a difference, you must not only persuade him when things happen.

, and he has to be able to suppress all his followers and officials. If he can't, his ambitions will be difficult to develop. Is this what Mr. Wang wants?"

Wang Yue's mood was ups and downs and he did not dare to reveal too much.

He then heard Chang Suining continue to say: "Moreover, this time the Japanese pirates are approaching the border, I, with Jiangdu as the leader, will work with the coastal states to clean up the coastal defenses, train the navy, and exchange news from various sea areas. But only the King of Yue thinks very highly of himself, and never

Ying He followed him, he shied away from duty many times, stayed in Yuezhou, and hoarded troops and horses wantonly——"

She said: "The news in Yuezhou will definitely arouse the suspicion of the emperor. In order to take advantage of it, the king of Yue will not only start an uprising, but also start an uprising very soon. It is difficult for him to have a detailed plan in such a short period of time and lay the foundation for it."

If he is not strong, and his name has never been revealed, how can he talk about an expedition? Therefore, I judge that he is destined to achieve great things. If you choose to follow him, not only will your ambitions be difficult to develop, but your life may soon be in danger."

After hearing this, Wang Yue looked at the young governor again, with different emotions in his eyes.

Her voice still has the unique clearness and clarity of a young girl, but when talking about these political situations, her thoughts are clear and determined, without any nonsense words, and every word goes straight to the point... In just a few sentences, she has already decided that it is not too late.

The king of Yue who rebels will be defeated.

How would the King of Yue feel if he knew that there was a seventeen-year-old girl who had already made up his mind for the great cause in his heart?

Wang Yue thought wildly, he didn't know how the King of Yue felt, but his feeling was... This Chang Governor was really extraordinary.

The emergence of this conclusion is even just a few words after the first meeting...

And the more so, the more unusual it becomes.

An unprecedented feeling emerged in Wang Yue's heart. He looked at Luo Guanlin - he seemed to understand why Lao Luo would switch to his original "opponent" in such a short period of time.
