Chapter 23 Horror Nightmare(1/2)
The Dagan Empire has thirteen states directly under the territory, including the Houdang led the five states of Yang, Wen, Ming, Jiang and Zhang, with 300,000 troops, Rong Party supported the five states of Yun, Ling, Ping, and Ji, with 350,000 troops,
Emperor Dagan only owns the three states of An, Yong and Dan, and is tightly wrapped by the ten states of Hou Party and Rong Party, and his power is the weakest.
Among them, the palace maids of An and Yong states were stationed in 150,000 Bashang Yulin Army. As for Danzhou, it is the location of Gantian City, with 80,000 imperial guards and a security camp of 10,000 people.
"What does Lin Shangqing mean?"
Although King Rong wanted to swallow the duck of 300,000 troops in one breath, after thinking about Lin Mo's words, he felt very reasonable. At this moment, if he wanted to seize the military power of the four states of Yangwenmingzhang, he could only slowly plan for him in the future.
Lin Mo said bluntly: "There are 50,000 troops in Jiangzhou, which is led by Li Tai. Now that Li Tai has fallen, King Rong might as well take down the 50,000 troops in Jiangzhou first."
"Jiangzhou is adjacent to your Kezhou, Your Highness Rong, and you will be able to win it down and train it together. There will be no difficulties. There is a Zhangjiang River between this Jiangzhou and Zhangzhou. If there is a war in the future, you can still defend it based on Zhangjiang."
King Rong thought for a moment, nodded and said, "What Lin Shangqing said is reasonable. I can take down the 50,000 troops from Jiangzhou first and slowly digest it. I will have an army of 400,000, and I can slowly plan the remaining four states of the Hou Party in the future."
"Your Highness Rong, you understand." Lin Mo smiled and said, "If you want to take down the 300,000 army of the Hou Party in one breath, I am afraid that Xuan Shu and Xuan Yuan will directly move troops. They must weaken and encroach on them step by step."
"Now you have only taken down 50,000 troops from Jiangzhou. I wonder if Empress Dowager Xuanshu and Xuanyuan dare not have much objection. They can only endure the pain and ceded Jiangzhou to you, Your Highness Rong."
Jiangzhou, across the Zhangjiang River in the west, faces Zhangzhou, adjacent to Danzhou in the south, Kezhou in the east, and Changzhou in the Wei State, one of the twenty-seven vassal states in the north.
Listening to Lin Mosi's rational analysis, King Rong's sorrow gradually disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face. Suddenly, something happened again and said, "Oh, it's not right, Lin Shangqing, as far as I know, it seems that there are 60,000 soldiers in Jiangzhou, right?"
"That's right!" Lin Mo smiled and said, "Those ten thousand soldiers and horses have just been taken away by Ji Qian's security camp. Could it be that those ten thousand soldiers and horses, Your Highness Rong, do you want them too?"
"Is there anything wrong?" King Rong asked.
Lin Mo said: "It's not true. Your Highness Rong, tonight, the emperor's imperial edict has helped you a lot, allowing us to take Li Tai rightfully, so that you can naturally give the emperor a piece of cake."
"But..." King Rong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Mo's weird words: "Are you still afraid of an emperor without real power?"
King Rong immediately took back his words, with a positive expression and said, "I am afraid that my wasteful prince will do what I am!"
"That's it!" Lin Mo comforted King Rong and said, "Your Highness, after this incident, you will have a land of six states, with an army of 400,000, which is the dominant one. Empress Dowager Xuan Shu and the emperor have only a army of 240,000, so why should you be afraid of them?"
Listening to Lin Mo's words, King Rong fell silent, thought quietly for about a quarter of an hour before raising his head, saying, "Okay, I am generous to give my useless emperor brother 10,000 surrendered troops. I hope he can't make any waves."
As he said that, King Rong said sincerely: "Lin Shangqing, I will help you in the future. I will defeat Li Tai and get the 50,000 troops in Jiangzhou. Most of them follow your clever plans and arrangements, and will definitely reward you heavily in the future."
King Rong is now very happy. Not only did he not only get the 50,000 troops from Jiangzhou and Jiangzhou, but also made Lin Mo completely offend the Hou Party and could only lean on himself in the future.
"Your Highness, King Rong, you are so serious!" Lin Mo bowed symbolically and said, "I have received a reward tonight. I have brought more than 40 practitioners under my command. How dare I accept other rewards with shamelessness?"
"Lin Shangqing's words are so bad that he has obtained dozens of great swordsmen and swordsman realm practitioners. How can he be worthy of your achievements today? He will definitely reward you in the future." King Rong waved his hand.
"This..." Lin Mo was about to continue to refuse, but Xu Qiuniang walked back with a worried look on her face. When King Rong whispered, Lin Mo had to swallow the words back.
Xu Qiuniang hurriedly walked to King Rong and whispered in King Rong's ear: "Your Highness, King Rong, Li Tai's two pretty concubines have disappeared. After searching all over the mansion, they have not seen them."
"How could this happen?" King Rong was stunned. Tonight, there were several great sword masters present. Why did the two women disappear for no reason? King Rong was puzzled.
But when things happened, they would have disappeared. The two of them must have seen Li Tai be in trouble, so they found an opportunity to escape. King Rong thought to himself.
After dispelling the idea of giving the two pretty beauties to Lin Mo, King Rong whispered to Xu Qiuniang: "If you disappear, you will disappear. Let's choose another beauties and keep them outside and give them to Lin Ziyong."
Although the voices of King Rong and Xu Qiuniang were small, Lin Mo learned exquisite lip words from the old man in Yuexia, and then read the content of the conversation between the two, Lin Mo was amused and crying.
Am I that lustful? There are three beautiful concubines in my mansion, one of which has not been touched. Besides, there is a beautiful and charming personal maid by my side. Do you want to help me maintain a house?
Lin Mo secretly complained in his heart: It seems that my lustful image in their eyes has taken root completely. I think I, Lin Mo, was once a three-good boy in China!
This reputation is so sad!
Just when Lin Mo was feeling emotion in his heart, Di Wu and Fu Yunsheng led five women back, but Fu Yunsheng's face was not at all happy, but instead fell into sadness.
It seemed that something had happened. Lin Mo looked at the five women, all of whom were pretty women aged 20 to 30. Fu Yunsheng was in his early fifties and his wife was at least in his forties. It seemed that he had not found his wife.
Lin Mo took a few steps forward and asked confirmation: "What's wrong? Governor Fu, haven't you found your wife?"
Fu Yunsheng shook his head in dismay, and said with a lonely expression: "No, we entered that dark prison and found a skeleton that had not yet been dealt with. I think that's my poor Jiu Niang."
As soon as Fu Yunsheng's words came out, the people present fell silent in an instant. Everyone present could see that Fu Yunsheng and his wife had a deep relationship, so they felt sad for him and didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and King Rong took the lead in breaking the silence and comforted Fu Yunsheng: "Governor Fu, the deceased has passed away. Please feel sorry for me. Take care of your health."
He looked at King Rong with a look full of sadness and sorrow, and Fu Yunsheng said lightly: "Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, I understand. You must not be able to participate in this great dynasty meeting. I hope Your Highness will allow the Lord to help the spirits back home."
"I will agree, so I can do it myself." King Rong said solemnly: "Can you collect the body of your wife Fu? Do you need someone to send someone to help me?"
Fu Yunsheng shook his head: "Not even, the lower official wrapped it in that layer of cloth and moved the inner body. After preparing a good coffin tomorrow, he would then bury it and send it back to his hometown to bury it."
"Okay!"
The matter has come to an end. Except for the two beautiful concubines who were missing and insignificant, the rest were all taken into custody by King Rong.
It was getting late, and everyone left one after another. Looking at Fu Yunsheng, who was deeply in love with his wife, and his lonely back left sadly, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh. After staying there for a while, he followed him like a devil.
The cold moonlight scattered on Lin Mo and Fu Yunsheng. The two of them walked slowly while walking quietly, Xifeng and Qiu Yun, and Fu Yunsheng's guard at the great swordsman realm, followed neither near nor far behind.
After about two quarters of an hour, Fu Yunsheng and Lin Mo walked into a pavilion called Mingyue, gently stroked the stone table in the pavilion, and sat on the stone bench.
Lin Mo did not sit down, but asked, "Governor Fu, what are you doing here? Is there any important memories of Governor Fu?"
Fu Yunsheng nodded slowly and said with a sad expression: "Yes, one winter night more than 20 years ago, I met my Jiuniang here. That she is so beautiful. I really love her."
As he said that, a tear rolled out from the corner of Fu Yunsheng's eyes and said with a self-deprecating voice: "No, in fact, my Jiu Niang is not beautiful in the eyes of outsiders, because she is just an honest peasant woman and can't dress herself up at all."
"But Lord Shangqing, do you know? In my eyes, my Jiu Niang is the most beautiful. She is a hardworking and smiling woman. She is the one who is about to freeze to death in this pavilion and carried me home and saved my life."
"Oh, governor Fu is also a native of the imperial capital?" Lin Mo said curiously.
"No!" Fu Yunsheng shook his head: "I am an official who entered the imperial capital to take the exam. That year, I offended an adult and fell out of the list, and it was also difficult."
"Governor Fu and his wife are so loving, do they have children?" Lin Mo asked again.
Fu Yunsheng shook his head again: "No, but Jiu Niang and I should have had a child, so we have enjoyed family happiness!"
"One year I went to a mansion to be a teacher and taught a child. The child was very close to Jiu Niang, so my husband and I regarded the child as my biological child."
"What about that child later?" Lin Mo asked.
Hearing this question, Fu Yunsheng seemed to be trapped in a distant memory, and the expression on his face became more exciting and complicated, including joy, pain, and guilt.
It took a lot of time before Fu Yunsheng got out of his memory and replied: "Later, the child suffered a disaster at home, and the child died. I could not do anything about it!"
As he said that, Fu Yunsheng glanced at Lin Mo and said with pain: "If that child was not dead, he would probably be as old as you, Lord Shangqing."
"How could Governor Fu go to Kezhou and become the governor of one state?" Lin Mo asked again.
Fu Yunsheng opened his mouth and wanted to answer, but he swallowed it back when the words came to his mouth, and a slowly feeling of guilt and pain suddenly surged on his face. In the end, maybe he couldn't bear it, so Fu Yunsheng actually closed his eyes and prevented the tears from falling.
After a long time, Fu Yunsheng suddenly howled in pain:
"It's all sins. The sin I committed is that I killed Jiu Niang. It's obviously my mistake. God, why do you punish Jiu Niang? It should be."
After a painful howl, Fu Yunsheng calmed down again, and then he wanted to take out his wife's secret bracelet and feel sad, but when he put his hand into his arms, his face showed a strange look.
Fu Yunsheng put away his sad expression, took out a note from his arms, opened it and looked at it. After a moment, Fu Yunsheng's face changed drastically, and he stared at him wide.
Lin Mo hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Governor Fu?"
"Sir, look, Master Shangqing." Fu Yunsheng handed the note to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo took the note and looked up. The note said: If the governor Fu wants to see his wife, three days later, the cold water of the Han River in the suburbs of the city will be small.
After reading the note, Lin Mo's face became solemn. He returned the note to Fu Yunsheng and said, "Governor Fu, it seems that your wife is not dead yet. This is a good thing."
He thought his wife had died, but now he was shocked to hear that Fu is still alive. Fu Yunsheng naturally felt happy in his heart, but at the same time he felt anxious: "Who is the one who kidnapped his inner child?"
"This is unknown." Lin Mo comforted Fu Yunsheng and said, "Governor Fu, it is a good thing for Madam to live. Don't worry, three days later, I will ask Xifeng to escort you to keep you safe."
"Thank you, Lord Shangqing!"
After discussing with Fu Yunsheng about the matter about Hanjiang Xiaozhu three days later, the two went their separate ways. Fu Yunsheng returned to Changle Inn, and of course Lin Mo returned to Lin Mansion.
Just when Lin Mo returned to Lin's mansion, Li Tai's two beautiful concubines, Lu Zhu and Yun Zhu, woke up in a luxurious villa called Golden House.
After the two woke up, they hurriedly searched for the property they had packed in Duke Shan's mansion, and found that the property was right beside them, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
After quieting down, the two women looked at the exquisite and luxurious decorations in the room, and suddenly their eyes were filled with stars. Green bamboo came to the closet and opened it. When they saw the exquisite dress inside, they could almost put an egg on their mouths.
After looking at the word "官网", Lu Zhu walked in front of Yun Zhu and asked, "Yun Zhu, where are we? How could we be here?"
"How could I know?" Yun Zhu replied: "At that time, I remembered that we had packed our belongings and wanted to escape from the Duke Shan's Mansion from the secret passage, but in the secret passage, we fainted as we walked."
"I remember it's the same, we..." Lu Zhu also said, and was about to continue speaking, four maids with introverted aura pushed open the door and walked in, bowed to the two girls and said, "See the two ladies."
"Madam?" The two women were stunned and Lu Zhu asked nervously: "Where are we? Who are you? What are you doing?"
One of the maids said, "Return to the two ladies, Li Tai has fallen. The two ladies should have been wandering and tragic with some money, but the owner of the family couldn't bear to see the two pretty beauties, so he invited the two ladies to come here."
Another maid continued, "The two ladies are used to being extravagant on weekdays. I guess the money they brought in in a hurry is not enough for the two ladies' future expenses, right?"
Another maid said, "The maids' masters invited the two ladies to this Golden House Villa so that the two ladies can continue to enjoy wealth and glory in the future."
The last maid said, "The maids were specially sent by the master to take care of the food and clothing of the two ladies, so the two ladies can live there with confidence."
Jinwu Villa! The villa with beautiful golden house? Hearing this name, Luzhu and Yunzhu instantly understood.
Luzhu and Yunzhu looked at each other, nodded again, and asked the four maids, "And the only thing we have to do is to be the beauty in this golden house obediently? Can't we leave this villa?"
The four maids nodded, and then, the maid who had spoken first, added: "After Li Tai's death, about a year later, the two ladies can enter and exit the villa freely."
After asking again, Luzhu and Yunzhu Ping retreated four maids. Yunzhu asked Luzhu and said, "Luzhu, do you want to accept this place?"
