Chapter 49 Lin Mo is afraid(1/2)
The three-day dynasty meeting passed in a blink of an eye.
During this period, young talents aged 20 to 24 from all walks of life had already begun to gather in large numbers in the imperial capital Gantian City, and they had only one purpose here to marry Princess Rena, the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions.
According to the rules, the lord of the Great Court came to the imperial capital to meet the Emperor Dagan and report on his duties. However, now the major vassal states have gradually escaped from the control of Dagan, so they just sent some missions to do things perfunctorily.
The dynasty meeting ended, and some missions of the vassal states had begun to return to their respective vassal states one after another, and ministers from all walks of life who were directly under the royal fiefs of Dagan also began to return one after another.
In the past two days, Lin Mo spent a lot of his time on Xiao Shuya, who was "seriously ill". He was at Jinsu Palace and was about to lock it, so he returned to Lin's mansion with sadness and reluctance.
The second day after the grand dynasty meeting.
After today's morning court, Lin Mo also accompanied Xiao Shuya, who was "seriously ill", and left after only half an hour, because today, Lin Mo had important things to do.
Farewell to Prince Rong, Xue Jingshu returns to Jeju.
At the beginning of the Si hour (9:00), outside the imperial capital Gantian City, there is a snow-wallowing pavilion.
Lin Mo took his wives, Xifeng and Qiu Yun, and stood in the long pavilion, looking at the direction of the city gate, Bai Zhilan, who had always been with Xue Jingshu, seemed a little anxious.
"Husband, didn't Sister Jingshu go back to Jeju today? Why haven't you seen her team yet?" Bai Zhilan didn't turn around and stared at the direction of the city gate, wondering if Xue Jingshu would have left.
Lin Mo didn't know how to answer. When he was in a dilemma, he saw a team of soldiers escorting a luxurious carriage with a wooden sign on the Rong Palace to drive out of the city gate.
"Don't worry, look, your sister Jingshu is not here."
Bai Zhilan followed Lin Mo's gaze and saw hundreds of soldiers wearing armor escorting Xue Jingshu's car frame out. At the front was a middle-aged man wearing general's armor.
This middle-aged man, in his fifties, had a little white gray beard mixed with his black beard, and was strong in his physique. The eyebrows formed by the murderous battles came to his face.
"What a murderous aura emitted by Duke Jie Xue Xu, the one on his body is really very attractive." Looking at the middle-aged man, Lin Mo couldn't help but praise him.
"Yes, I have only seen such a strong killing aura in Beidi Marshal Amuzhan." Yan Baiyu, who was standing beside Lin Mo, couldn't help but praise him.
Ten years ago, Amuzhan entered Yan State and accepted the peace ceremony of Yan State on behalf of Beidi. Yan Baiyu still remembers the shocking killing aura of his body.
Amuzhan became famous at the age of twenty and is now in his fifties. He has experienced hundreds of battles in his life. He stands on the ground like a mountain, and sits down like a dragon. As soon as he opens his mouth, he is extremely powerful in the Northern Di court.
"If you encounter a century-long battle, you will definitely be a powerful general who has been famous throughout the ages!" Lin Mo also agreed with Yan Baiyu's words very much, and the words of praise in his mouth were even more stingy.
Lin Mo also knew quite well about Xue Xu. Twenty years ago, the Northern Di Marshal Amuzhan personally attacked Dakan. Xue Xu was a sixth-rank general and had fought with Amuzhan.
Xue Xu personally led 500 soldiers to resist Amuzhan's two thousand confidant elites, and endured Amuzhan's great praise, winning a great opportunity for repelling Amuzhan's army.
After the war, Xue Xu was appointed as the fifth-rank General Dingyuan, leading the army to quell the rebellion of the vassal states, resisting the invasion of neighboring Tubo Western Regions and other countries, and made outstanding contributions.
Eight years ago, he was appointed as Duke Jie, a first-rank general of the cavalry, and now he is stationed in Jeju for many years.
"Husband, why did a strong general like Xue Xu become the minion of King Rong?" Changsun Youyin was also a little confused about Xue Xu, but he was even more confused.
"It is not appropriate to say that Xue Xu is the minion of King Rong." Lin Mo said lightly: "They can only be considered a marriage, and even King Rong dares not offend Xue Xu easily, so he treats Xue Jingshu very respectfully on weekdays."
Xue Xu is half of the "Amuzhan" of the Dagan Empire. Although King Rong is very famous and powerful, it is not enough for Duke Jie of Xue Xu, who is in charge of the 350,000 army, to make him willing to be a subordinate.
"I know this." Baili Qingcheng, who likes to ask about gossip on weekdays, spoke: "When King Rong goes to court every day, he wants to say hello to Jingshu."
As soon as Baili Qingcheng finished speaking, Lin Mo and his men burst into laughter. As the people laughed, the majestic and neat army stopped in front of Lin Mo and his men.
On the right, Xue Xu and Lin Mo's eyes instantly met, and the murderous aura on their bodies swept out at Lin Mo, but Lin Mo seemed to be a ok person, just with a slight smile.
"Hahaha--" Xue Xu suddenly let out a hearty laugh, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Lin Mo. Xue Jingshu in the carriage also got off the carriage with the help of her maid Hongdou.
Lin Mo stepped forward and bowed to Xue Xu. Xue Xu took the lead and said, "I am worthy of being the leader of the Mo Sect. I like this courage and calmness."
Lin Mo said modestly: "Duke Jie praised you. I admire you for your killing character. In the future, you will become a handsome talent that will be remembered forever and will be remembered by the world forever."
"You kid is not bad either. You defeated the 100,000 elite army of Beidi with more than 20,000. You are also the leader of the Mo Sect, one of the three peak sects. You were also called a first-rank nobleman by Your Majesty." Xue Xu's words were full of satisfaction and praise.
Xue Xu looked at Lin Mo with satisfaction. Xue Jingshu walked over with graceful steps, looked at Lin Mo, and then talked to Bai Zhilan and the girls.
"Lin Shangqing, please come with me. I have something to say to you." Looking at Xue Jingshu, who was having a happy chat with Lin Mo's wives, Xue Xu suddenly said to Lin Mo.
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Mo to agree or not, he walked straight to another long pavilion not far away. Lin Mo had no choice but to follow Xue Xu, and did not let Xifeng and Qiu Yun follow him.
As soon as Lin Mo stepped onto the long pavilion, Xue Xu suddenly said something shocked Lin Mo: "Boy, I come to ask you, what is your relationship with my daughter? You'd better answer truthfully."
"What does the Duke mean? I don't understand." Lin Mo looked puzzled: "The princess, the princess, naturally has nothing to do with the boy. If you have to say something, you will be a friend."
"Friend?" Xue Xu glanced at Xue Jingshu, who was having a great time talking to Yan Baiyu and some girls, snorted coldly and asked, "How come my daughter goes to your house every day? She is dressed so brightly?"
When he came to the imperial capital this time, Xue Xu found that his daughter was very different from the past. Before, Xue Jingshu had always been plain and plain, and never dressed up and decorated herself.
But now, Xue Xu found that every time his daughter went out, she would dress up carefully before going to Lin's house. And when Hongdou said that sometimes her daughter would smile in front of the mirror.
"How did you know?" Lin Mo guessed with a confused look on his face: "Maybe the Princess and His Highness Rong's husband and wife have made the Princess change?"
After guessing, Lin Mo said seriously: "As for why the princess comes to Lin's mansion every day, it is naturally because the princess and the boy's wives get to know each other and come to Lin's mansion to play and have fun together."
"Good harmony with King Rong and his wife? It's nonsense. I don't know about my daughter. She and King Rong were separated from each other eight years ago." Listening to Lin Mo's answer, Xue Xu snorted coldly.
"How could this happen?" Lin Mo was shocked: "There are rumors in the market that the princess and His Highness Rong have always regarded each other as respectful as guests. The relationship between husband and wife is also quite harmonious? How could it be that they are in harmony with each other?"
"Respect each other like a guest? I'm spit!" Xue Xu said unhappily: "You guys have so many wives, so I tell you that you respect each other like a guest? Respect each other like a guest is the way of getting along with each other?"
"This..." Lin Mo smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer. He didn't expect that Xue Xu was so taboo and moved his daughter's affairs directly to the surface.
As Xue Xu said, respecting each other is not the way couples should get along with each other. The normal way couples should be as lingering as Lin Mo and his wife.
Seeing that Lin Mo didn't know how to answer, she was accused of it. Xue Xu was stunned and said another sentence that shocked Lin Mo again: "Boy, I ask you, do you want to marry my daughter, and be a concubine."
Hearing this, Lin Mo's body suddenly froze in place. After a while, he came to his senses, and then said lightly: "Duke, are you kidding? Ling Qianjin is the princess of His Highness Rong."
"Kidding? I never joke in my life." Xue Xu shook his head and said seriously: "Boy, if you are willing to marry my daughter, I am willing to assist you. If you want to be the emperor, I will support you."
"The miscellaneous things about King Rong Ji Guang, I have been very nice to my daughter in the three years since I got married, but since I had that Xu Qiuniang, I have ignored my daughter. I have long disliked him."
"Duke, your words are a crime to kill the nine clans." Lin Mo replied lightly, but as if he had thought of something, his face was full of doubt and asked, "Or is the Duke who is here to test the boy for His Highness Rong?"
"What are you trying to test or not? I will ask you one thing, would you like to marry my daughter?" Xue Xu continued to ask on his own as if he had not heard Lin Mo's words.
Seeing that Xue Xu ignored his words, Lin Mo calmed down, murmured for a moment, and said seriously: "Duke, did your question come from sincerity?"
"That's natural. Could it be that I'm here to deceive you as a junior?" Xue Xu nodded.
Seeing the serious look on Xue Xu's face, Lin Mo looked at the accompanying soldiers and suddenly asked something that Xue Xu didn't understand: "Duke, don't you know that these soldiers and generals are trustworthy?"
"Of course I can trust it. They are all following me to fight in the south and north." Although Xue Xu didn't know what Lin Mo suddenly asked this question, he answered it truthfully.
"That's good." Lin Mo replied lightly, but a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and shouted loudly to Changting: "Princess, your father wants you to leave Your Highness Rong and marry me as a concubine? I wonder if you are willing?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers looked at Lin Mo and Xue Xu as if they had seen ghosts and gods. Xue Jingshu and the girls on the Changting looked at the two of them in shock, not knowing what had happened.
"Boy, what are you doing?" Seeing that Lin Mo was shouting out in broad daylight, Xue Xu hurriedly grabbed it and asked with a little panic.
"Duke, don't you marry your daughter to a kid? The kid has to ask your daughter what she means. Those soldiers and generals are your confidant generals, what are you afraid of?" Lin Mo was puzzled.
"You..." Xue Xu seemed to be strangled, and he was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing Xue Xu's face showing a embarrassing look, Lin Mo took advantage of the situation to chase him and asked loudly again: "Jingshu, have you listened to my question? If you agree, I will take you back and have a wedding banquet together."
On the other side of the Changting, Xue Jingshu and Yan Baiyu looked at each other, nodded their heads, and replied loudly: "Okay, Ziyong, you must treat me well in the future, and I will serve you with all my heart."
"Stop." Xue Xu suddenly shouted loudly, stopped the two of them, and looked at Lin Mo with a little unkind look: "As a good boy, he is really capable and wise, I admit defeat."
After saying that, Xue Xu stopped talking and walked towards Xue Jingshu and the girls. Lin Mo also followed behind him with a smile, as if he was not satisfied, and continued to shout: "Jingshu, my husband is here to carry you back to the wedding chamber, under the moonlight."
Just as Lin Mo was looking at the long pavilion where Xue Jingshu and his girls were, two men and women were watching on the city gate tower. Listening to all this, it was Xu Qiuniang and King Rong.
"How is it, Your Highness, you believe that Lin Shangqing has nothing to do with Sister Jingshu now?" Xu Qiuniang snuggled in King Rong's arms and asked very charmingly.
Today's event is the situation that King Rong, Xu Qiuniang and Xue Xu jointly set up for Lin Mo and Xue Jingshu, with the purpose of exploring whether Xue Jingshu and Lin Mo have special relationships.
"Well, I believe it completely. It seems that Jingshu went to Lin Mansion for his ladies, and it has nothing to do with Lin Ziyong." King Rong nodded, showing a knowing smile.
King Rong believed that if there were ghosts among the two, they would not have shouted loudly, and Xue Jingshu would not have answered so directly. People with ghosts would have been hiding and trying every means to cover up.
After watching this good show directed by himself, King Rong, who was relieved, hugged Xu Qiuniang's slender waist like a willow-like waist, walked down the city tower, and under Di Wu's escort, he got on the carriage and left.
Xue Xu, who was fooled by Lin Mo, walked unhappily to the Changting where Xue Jingshu and his girls were. Today, Lin Mo said in front of him that he wanted his daughter to remarry or be a concubine. Xue Xu threw it into the face in front of the soldiers.
Lin Mo suddenly accelerated his pace, walked to Xue Xu, and whispered: "Duke, the daughter is so beautiful and charming, and she is very charming. When you come to the boy's house every day, the boy is really itchy to see. You really marry her to the boy, okay?"
"You don't know that every time Qianjin comes to our house, he wears a long strapless dress, and the snow chest on his chest is slightly exposed. The boy is very envious and wants to kiss her for a long time, but there is already someone else, and the boy is just..."
Lin Mo said with a lingering voice, Xue Xu's face turned aside, pressing the long sword around his waist, and shouted: "Good boy, I have heard of you for a long time, but I didn't expect that I was so arrogant and jealous. I took my sword."
The sword was pulled out, and Xue Xu turned around and swept across the road. Lin Mo was shocked and his body fell backwards. The sword broke through the wind less than an inch away from Lin Mo's nose.
Xue Xu's face changed, his elbow fell, and the sword slashed sharply downward. Lin Mo's body turned in the air, avoided the sword's momentum, and landed steadily three meters away.
After landing on the ground, Lin Mo smiled and said, "My father-in-law, what are you doing? You have to betroth a kid just now. Now why do you draw your sword to me? Is it a test of your kid's martial arts?"
"It is said in the world that the leader of the Mo Sect has never practiced and is a weak scholar. I never thought that he had learned a body of ordinary martial arts. He is not weak, so he will indeed hide it." Looking at Lin Mo who avoided his attack, Xue Xu said coldly.
"My father-in-law, you misunderstood. I learned this little bit of eroticism from my second wife these days, and I didn't want to hide it. At the Western Region Princess's bride meeting the next day, the boy will show his face." Lin Mo explained with a smile.
"My father-in-law? You dare to scream."
Xue Xu snorted coldly, and on one side of his gaze, the sword with his right hand shook, and the sword immediately wrapped in an invisible aura, and his body surface was also wrapped in the invisible aura. Then he jumped and shot towards Lin Mo quickly.
"The innate qi covers the body surface, Sister Jingshu, your father is actually a practitioner in the swordsman realm." Looking at Xue Xu, who was covered with an invisible aura, Baili Qingcheng exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, my father was promoted to the swordsman realm ten years ago." Xue Jingshu nodded, with a look of pride on her face, and she was obviously proud of her father.
Looking at Xue Xu's rushing towards him, Lin Mo stood there with a smile on his face, without any movement in his hand. Just as Xue Xu's figure was three feet away from Lin Mo, he suddenly stopped.
