Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

The sun was high in the sky and time was passing by. From noon to dusk, half a day had passed. Emperor Jingjiang specially sent people again to give the abundant potatoes to the scholars. However, in this sewage-filled and stinky environment, no one had the intention to taste this food that originally symbolized harvest and abundance. Firstly, the pent-up indignation in my heart is difficult to calm down. Secondly, there are branches and leaves, leftover food and insect carcasses floating on the water from time to time. The sight is really unsightly, let alone chewing in the mouth. Although their stomachs are already empty, they would rather endure the discomfort caused by hunger than suffer from hunger.

When the night fell and the moon was dim, in order to prevent unexpected events, several carriages were parked beside the bachelors, and blazing torches were inserted on the roofs of each carriage, like beacons in the dark night. There is one person on duty in each car to prevent him from accidentally falling into the water when he is exhausted. These carriages are like moving barriers, guarding the dignity and hope in the hearts of every bachelor. They stand quietly on the land surrounded by sewage, reflecting a deep and tragic picture.

The night wind howled, and the light of the jumping torches swayed in the dark night, illuminating the bachelors' eyes that looked deeper due to anxiety and worry. They are waiting, waiting for a possible turning point, or the arrival of dawn. No matter what the outcome is, they decide to stick to this and use their persistence and belief to fight against the filth and suffering in this world. The figures waiting in the carriage are like silent oaths, telling their tenacity and perseverance. Although they are in trouble, they still uphold the pursuit of knowledge and justice, even in this devastated world. In such an environment, he never gave up any dignity and ideals.

At that time, the night was low and the moon was as dark as ink. Li Dexian took advantage of the cover of the night to lead his environmental protection department to act quietly. A group of more than ten people, each carrying a huge wooden bucket, walked hurriedly through the streets. These people are accustomed to working in the dark, so they are already familiar with such a late-night walking environment. Even if there is no light, they can move steadily and quickly.

Li Dexian took the lead and led the way, his figure looming in the night, like a ghost traveling in the night. As they got closer and closer, sporadic firelight could be faintly seen in front of the Yimen, so he stopped walking. I saw him calmly taking out a white scarf from his arms, slowly unfolding it, and holding it up in the air. The breeze blew by, and the square scarf was like a pale moon shadow, fluttering in the night wind, and then slowly fell back into his hand. After taking back the scarf, Li Dexian turned to the people behind him and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry, this is where our target is, it's correct."

Captain Zhang stood to the side with a look of confusion on his face. He took a step forward and asked, "Brother, it's midnight right now. Why are we sneaking here carrying swill?" Hearing this question, the corner of Li Dexian's mouth raised. He evoked an unfathomable smile and replied cheerfully: "No need to worry too much about the specific matters. Just follow me, pour out all the contents in the bucket, follow the wind, and make sure the direction is correct."

Then he added: "When the bucket is empty and all the strength is exhausted, you can disperse and go home to sleep in peace. All you have to do tonight is do it, don't worry about the rest." The words were calm and unquestionable. The breath spreads like a cold current in the night, making people shudder but irresistible. Everyone knew that Li Dexian's move must have deep meaning, so they nodded silently in agreement and continued to follow, preparing to carry out the mysterious mission.

When Captain Zhang heard this, his throat moved slightly, and then he quietly gave the order in a low and powerful voice. The team members immediately acted upon hearing the order, pouring buckets of swill into the turbid water. The action was like performing a silent ritual, causing ripples of grease and residue.

Seeing this scene, Dexian couldn't help but frown, and quickly avoided the filthy atmosphere. As he moved away, he pinched his nose with his hands, and a sarcastic smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "These guys are so cunning, they dare to fight with me." Let’s compete with Lao Lin! Since they intend to stand up for Li Yihao, let them try this specially prepared ‘late night snack’!” Although his voice was soft, it echoed with an unruffled power in the silent night. .

"Brother, do those dead rats and snakes also need to be thrown into the water?" A team member asked in a low voice, with a determined light shining in his eyes.

Dexian responded with sharp eyes: "Throw it! Of course you have to throw it! But throw the dead rat as far as possible. As for the snake, have all the teeth been pulled out?"

"All snakes have been removed, and they are all non-venomous snakes." The team member replied, his words revealing a decisiveness and determination in performing the task.

When everyone heard this, their doubts disappeared and they no longer hesitated at all. They each used their own strength to throw the dead rats and snakes with their fangs removed into the river, forming arcs in the darkness. After falling into the water, they disappeared under the ripples.

When Dexian witnessed this scene, a strange smile appeared on his face. There seemed to be countless unfinished stories behind that smile. He stood with his hands behind his back, turned around leisurely, walked slowly, and drifted away on the stone road under the moonlight, leaving only waves of ethereal echoes swaying in the night wind.

·······································
The scholars were struggling to hold on in the water, exhausted and exhausted. Their eyes were drooped, as if they might fall asleep at any time. However, no one dared to take a nap with their eyes closed, for fear that if they accidentally fell into the turbid water, they would not only lose face, but also lose their dignity. They were immersed in the icy water, and their physical strength had long been exhausted. Coupled with the biting night wind, the chill penetrated to the bone marrow, making it even more unbearable. At this time, some people had bloated abdomens and urgently needed to deal with their physiological needs, but they had no choice but to solve them silently in the water. The only good thing was that the buoyancy in the water alleviated the severe pain in their knees caused by kneeling for a long time. However, the hunger in the belly is like a wolf, and the pain is worse than the pain on the body.

When Cai Yingyang saw this scene, he was extremely anxious. He knew that everyone was determined to stick to this place with the determination to remonstrate to death. If they were so depressed in just one day, it would be too weak. Once you surrender before the emperor, how can you gain a foothold in the court in the future? So he steeled himself and shouted in a slightly hoarse but firm and powerful voice: "Comrades, cheer up! If we continue to lose our will like this, even if His Majesty has not responded to our request, we will have already defeated ourselves!"

"Look at me, I am older than any of you and suffer from rheumatism, but I can still endure the torment in this water with you!" Cai Yingyang gritted his teeth as he spoke, his face full of perseverance. "We have been soaked in the water for a whole day. The pain in our bodies is unspeakable, but compared to the clarity and justice of the court, what is this pain?" After hearing these words, the originally depressed people seemed to be swept away by a wave of The invisible power awakened, and although his body was tired, his eyes gradually brightened, and the weak spiritual flame was rekindled.

A bachelor next to Tang Tiangu, with a pale face, quietly whispered into his ear: "Brother Tang, I'm afraid I can't hold on anymore. My stomach is as empty as an abyss at this moment, and my hunger has given me wonderful hallucinations." He The words seemed to be squeezed out of a dry throat, with a hint of trembling in the words, "I seem to be able to smell the aroma of vegetables, which is clearly the smell of West Lake vinegar fish..." Before he could finish speaking, Tang Tiangu also I couldn't help but cover my abdomen tightly, and said in resonance: "So you feel the same way. If I had known this, I should have eaten two more servings of Shengshi potatoes, and maybe I could have been able to hold on for a while longer."

"You said this was an illusion, but I also smelled the faint fragrance of vegetables. Could it be that it was really an illusion caused by being extremely hungry?" Tang Tiangu frowned, with doubt and helplessness in his eyes.

The surrounding crowd heard this and joined in the conversation. An old man interjected: "I smell it too, but the aroma of the food is complicated and real." Another young man echoed, stroking his chest with a painful expression: "Yes! The smell seems to be getting stronger and stronger. It even made me feel a little nauseous." Another person asked doubtfully, "Can even hallucinations be affected by this sewage?"

As the topic deepened, everyone's attention was drawn to the sewage at their feet. Layers of foam appeared on the surface of the sewage, reflecting the tired and confused faces under the moonlight. The sewage is mixed with all the flavors of the world, just like the five flavors in their hearts at this moment, and the lingering illusion of vegetable fragrance lingering on the tip of their noses seems to be a satire of their hungry bodies, and it is also a reality of the predicament of life. Portrait.

While everyone was suffering in pain in the muddy water, as if they were in purgatory, they suddenly heard a cry of surprise coming from the crowd. A man accidentally touched a foreign object on the bottom of his hand and quickly reached into the water to fish it out without thinking. Under the firelight, the object he was holding in his hand was a fish bone with a few strands of noodles attached to it. The shape was horrifying. The man's face instantly turned as green as a ghost, and he hurriedly threw the fish bone into the air, letting it fall back into the sewage.

Following this sudden change, other bachelors also noticed a weak but continuous shock wave underwater, as if some ominous omen was quietly approaching. Sure enough, in an instant, a large amount of swill came in like a torrent that broke a bank, flooding a large area in an instant. On the surface of the water, egg droplets, rotten vegetable leaves and oily flowers floated and intertwined. The stench was so strong that it penetrated people's hearts and made people nauseous and unbearable. This scene was unforgettable. Everyone was so panicked that they finally couldn't help shouting loudly: "What a ghost! How can there be so many leftovers in the water?"

"Something's wrong!" someone said angrily, "It's clear and unobstructed here during the day. It must be the young people who dumped the swill in the dark of night. These scum must be punished. No one will be spared!" Before the words could be finished, there was a chorus of responses. When the sound rang out, everyone's face was twisted in pain because of the unbearable stench. What's more, some couldn't help but bend over and vomit. Even if they were wrapped in thick cotton clothes, they couldn't resist the nausea that spread from the water. odor.

The whole scene was in chaos, with howls and curses everywhere. For a moment, the officials and ministers in front of Emperor Jingjiang turned into desperate prisoners soaked in swill. Their dignity, dignity and hope were ruthlessly destroyed in this pool of filth. The earth tore and trampled until it was reduced to nothing. Lin Xiaofeng stood aside quietly, with no pity on his face, and a calm and determined light shining in his eyes, as if everything was under his control.

Finally, in the endless torture of the day, some people could no longer endure the pain of physical and mental exhaustion, and their will was worn away like gravel by the weather. The stench from the swill mixed with the sewage, filled the air wantonly, and finally reached a critical point. One person could no longer suppress the churning in his stomach, and filth overflowed from his mouth. This sound of vomiting seemed to be the first stone that broke the calm lake surface, quickly triggering a worse situation, and the filth quickly spread to the surroundings like a plague.

When the bystanders witnessed this scene, their defenses collapsed instantly, and a strong sense of nausea swept over them like a wave. They also vomited, and the world seemed to be turned upside down, and the world turned into purgatory. Among the one hundred and twenty people, more than half began to vomit one after another, and the scene was chaotic and desolate.

The guards noticed something strange and panicked and walked out of the team to investigate. When they saw the horrific scene in front of them, they all turned pale with shock, and the muscles on their faces tensed with fear. Cai Yingyang was standing on the carriage at this time. His face was as pale as a piece of bloodless rice paper. The scene in front of him made him heartbroken. Deep in his heart, he painfully asked himself: What heinous crime did he commit to deserve this? Such inhuman torture!

He looked at those twisted faces and crouched figures, and the grief in his heart was like a huge stone pressing on his chest, but he had no way to vent it. The surrounding air seems to have solidified, making people breathless. Every detail is imprinted with the hardship and helplessness of life. He is teetering on the edge of despair. Facing the cruel reality, he can only choose to express his heart in the most primitive way. of grief, anger and struggle. This sudden mass vomiting incident not only revealed the harshness of the environment, but also revealed the complex face of human nature showing fragility and resilience in extreme environments.

The night was dark and the moonlight was as weak as a candle. Before anyone could reflect on the situation, something suddenly changed under the water. An inexplicable throbbing came from the bottom of their hands, as if something was quietly moving in the dark. Cai Yingyang instinctively grabbed it. The thing in his hand was slippery and indescribable. He squinted his eyes and took a closer look. Unexpectedly, his soul almost left his body. A snake suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a dead rat in its mouth. Bite.

"Snake! How can there be a snake in this water!" Cai Yingyang was horrified, screamed, and hurriedly threw the snake in his hand. Unexpectedly, the force of the throw was too strong, and the snake rushed straight into the crowd like a black shadow, followed by a scream and the sound of falling into the water. The figure of the snake flashed frequently, and no one could tell whether it was the same snake. Everyone looked frightened and at a loss. Although they were extremely frightened, they did not dare to leave the water easily. The reason is that the carriage is closely monitored by Emperor Jingjiang's personal bodyguards to prevent any accidents that may endanger His Majesty's safety.

The air was filled with heavy panic and uneasiness, and the eyes of the maesters flickered in the flickering light of the torches. There was both fear of unknown dangers and shame at the loss of their own dignity. At this moment, they seem to have become fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of fate, without any composure and grace of a scholar. Lin Xiaofeng stood aside with a thoughtful smile on his face, as if everything was under control, and he was the only one who knew the true intention behind this farce.

Tang Tiangu's hands tightly grasped the corners of his clothes, as if he wanted to draw the power to fight against fear from the fabric. He roared sharply, his voice echoing in the valley, full of endless despair and grief. Beside him, his colleagues were already frightened out of their wits by the sudden snake. One of them lost his footing and fell into the cold water in fear. "Brother Li! Don't hold me! Let go!" This scream cut through the night sky like a sharp knife, followed by the sound of gurgling water, "Someone! Help!"

When the guards around him saw this, they all knew that the situation was at a critical moment. Although they were extremely unwilling to face such a dangerous situation, they still resolutely jumped into the turbulent river water. They struggled to swim towards their colleagues who were struggling to survive. Go and try to get them back from death.

At this moment, Cai Yingyang stood on the shore, his face as pale as frost and snow under the moonlight. His heart was as silent as death, and he murmured in a low voice: "Li Yihao mistaken me..." However, in this moment of life and death, even if it is true, What can I do if I get into trouble because of Li Yihao's mistake? Things in the world are often unpredictable. Once you have reached such a point, you can only choose to stiffen your neck and straighten your chest. Even if there is an abyss ahead, you will never bow your head. You can only face the challenges with incomparable tenacity and determination. Challenge the cruel arrangements of fate.

Everything around him was frozen in this sudden change, and only the ripples of the river under the moonlight silently told the thrilling story that had just happened. The figures of the guards appear and disappear in the water, and every time they sink and rise, they are like chants of persistence in life. Tang Tiangu's eyes were full of fear of unknown dangers, but more of it was a resolute defense of his survival instinct. He gritted his teeth and let the sweat and tears slip down. His body was as tight as a bowstring, ready to welcome what might come at any time. The second impact.

At the same time, those who had not yet waded into the water, including Cai Yingyang, were deeply shocked by the scene before them. Their faces showed complex emotions, including sympathy for those in danger and helpless sighs at their own misfortune. Everyone is asking themselves, if they were in the same situation, would they be able to jump into the water to save people like that desperate guard?
Until the night was dark and everything was silent, everyone gradually regained some strength after going through a long and painful torture. The water continues to wash away this dirty land, and the swill that once overflowed quietly recedes like a defeated army, gradually drifting away. However, at this moment, everyone's faces were as pale as if they had just lost a loved one, and every look in their eyes was filled with sadness and despair. One person accidentally fell into the water, and more people were affected. The clothes on their bodies were tightly wrapped with all kinds of unsightly filth, such as egg droplets, cabbage shreds, and oil stains. Even those who survived the flooding could not escape the fate of being splashed with sewage. They moved their bodies carefully, but still had nowhere to hide. What's more, because of the last persistence in innocence and dignity in his heart, he even washed his face with sewage in an attempt to wash away the slop on his face. Sadly, this struggle seemed so powerless in reality, and his former dignity and face were instantly gone. The space is gone.

Facing this bleak scene, everyone looked at each other and silently comforted themselves: since everyone has lost face, it means that no one is losing face. When the guards present witnessed this scene, they couldn't bear to look at it. Deep in their hearts, they couldn't help but think to themselves: Even if they were trapped in the battlefield and faced with a life and death decision, it wouldn't be so disgusting that it was unbearable! This scene not only chilled the hearts of the scholars, but also moved the originally ruthless iron-blooded guards.

·············································
At dawn the next day, a faint fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and the morning ceremony slowly came to an end deep in the palace city. Emperor Jingjiang ended his lengthy political discussions in the dim light of the morning, and with Lin Xiaofeng and other officials, he once again rode a carriage on the stone-paved avenue of the palace and slowly moved forward in the direction of the Yimen. At this moment, everyone's mental state was extremely depressed. It was a kind of exhaustion originating from the depths of their souls, as if they had been deprived of all vitality and vitality overnight.

However, Emperor Jingjiang, Lin Xiaofeng and others did not notice this unusually depressed atmosphere. After all, they had just experienced a period of suffering in the water. In order to express their piety to their ancestors and their concerns about state affairs, they knelt in front of the lake pavilion for a whole day and a night. Although they were exhausted and almost exhausted, they thought this was normal and not surprising. But when the carriage stopped in front of the ceremony gate and everyone got off their horses, the pale faces came into view, especially the messy and scattered hair, which had lost the neatness and majesty of the past. Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in Lin Xiaofeng's heart.

He looked at his colleagues around him, his eyes moving, and he found that those figures that were once as tall and tall as pine trees now looked so languid, as weak as fallen leaves after autumn. Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were deep and sharp, as if he wanted to penetrate the calmness on the surface and explore the waves inside. Li Dexian was always thoughtful and could see through Lin Xiaofeng's inner speculations at a glance. However, he did not say anything. He just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an implicit and deep smile. The smile contained endless wisdom and calmness, which seemed to imply all of this. There is a deeper story hidden behind it.

Li Dexian's smile is like an invisible key, trying to unlock the mystery behind this silent contest. When Lin Xiaofeng saw this, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. He knew that this long kneeling night and day was not only a test of their physical strength, but also a game about faith and loyalty, power and people's hearts. The sun gradually climbed into the sky, and the golden sunshine fell on everyone, but it could not dispel the haze that shrouded their hearts. Instead, it reflected the reality of their physical and mental exhaustion.

So, in this moment of silence, Lin Xiaofeng began to reflect. Behind their devout prayers in the water, was there a more complicated entanglement between the heat of the world and human nature? And under Emperor Jingjiang's seemingly calm expression, what kind of imperial intentions and machinations are hidden? These questions were like a mess, intertwined in his mind, waiting to be revealed one by one in the coming days.

Emperor Jingjiang's face was stern, and the majesty and determination of the emperor were revealed in his brows. He looked around at the group of bachelors who were still immersed in pain and fatigue, and slowly said: "My dear friends, have you woken up at this moment? It's a choice. Continue to kneel here to show your determination, or come with me back to the palace?" After saying this, his eyes fell on Cai Yingyang. I saw Cai Yingyang's cheeks were as pale as paper, his lips were split, and his voice was trembling but he responded firmly: "Your Majesty, if I fail to get your permission to wait for my request, I would rather die than retreat!" Emperor Jingjiang heard this There was no emotion on his face when he said this, but he sneered deep in his heart: "What does it matter even if you all die here? Will I lack available people because of this? You guys who are good at writing and writing, actually think very highly of yourself. Do you really think that no one in the world can replace you?" His words were filled with ridicule of the hypocritical faces of these bachelors and absolute confidence in their own authority.

The emperor laughed loudly, the sound was loud and long, as if it penetrated the morning mist and reached people's hearts: "Wonderful! You are all loyal men of our court, and you are unyielding in the face of adversity. I am deeply gratified and happy in my heart. Congratulations!" As he spoke, his majestic eyes swept over every courtier present, and then ordered his attendants: "Hurry and get those Shengshi potatoes to feed our beloved ministers. They are all pillars of the country. How can one's body be harmed by a moment of hunger?"

At this time, although the water had receded to everyone's knees, the humidity was still thick. A waiter came out and stepped steadily out of the carriage, holding a steaming roasted potato with an alluring aroma in his hand. He waded forward cautiously, passing on the warmth to the ministers and distributing it one by one.

The originally sluggish spirits of the scholars were gradually awakened by the unique mellow fragrance of Shengshi potatoes, and their eyes began to shine with vitality, as if this sweet food had turned into an invisible force, quietly filling their physical and mental fatigue. At this moment, no one had any intention of refusing. They all silently took the roasted potatoes that were still warm. They lowered their heads and chewed slowly. Every bite seemed to be savoring a rare delicacy in the world.

Lin Xiaofeng saw that everyone finally started to eat, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and relief in his heart. A warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This will show our long-term fighting power. How can we support this important task for a long time if we are not physically strong?" Is it a matter of national affairs?”

Lin Xiaofeng was deep in thought, his eyes shining with the light of profound wisdom. He stood up slowly and faced Emperor Jingjiang. His eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, firm and bright. He said slowly: "Your Majesty, I secretly think that I should give more potato food to all my colleagues. After all, one potato food may not be enough to fill the stomach that has been tortured day and night in the water. It is really difficult for a mortal body to withstand such a harsh situation, so I It is speculated that if each person can eat three potatoes, he will be able to relieve hunger and not suffer from abdominal bloating due to excessive consumption." His words showed his delicate thoughts without losing his concern.

When Emperor Jingjiang heard this, his originally calm face showed slight waves, and the admiration in his eyes emerged like a tide, and he recognized and admired Lin Xiaofeng's insights even more. Although Lin Xiaofeng spoke sharply and often faced problems directly in a straightforward manner, at this moment, Emperor Jingjiang could see the deep kindness and kindness in his heart. This sincerity and care are the basis for the people of Yangqu's sincere admiration and trust in him. It is like sunshine penetrating dark clouds and illuminating every soul struggling in suffering.

Emperor Jingjiang stood up, and his figure looked particularly majestic in the light and shadow of the court. His voice was like thunder, rolling and shaking the entire hall: "My dear friends, please listen to me. There are many opinions today, and everyone advises me to distance myself. Lin Xiaofeng. But you can see that the golden potato in hand now is what Lin Xiaofeng fought for for the well-being of our ministers. Previously, he was worried about the empty stomachs of everyone, and specially asked me to prepare more food. Hungry."

Recalling the scene at that time, Emperor Jingjiang glanced at the ministers with blazing eyes, and then said: "Not long ago, this 'villain' in your mouth was worried about whether you could have enough to eat, and tried his best to protect everyone's lives. What you need. On the other hand, you want to take the opportunity to put Lin Xiaofeng to death to satisfy your temporary anger. Is this what a gentleman should do? "

At this time, there was silence in the court hall. Emperor Jingjiang's words pierced people's hearts like knives, and every word struck the hearts of the ministers clearly. They looked at each other, as if they realized for the first time that their understanding of "a worthy minister and a distant person" was so biased that they almost wronged a loyal person.

Emperor Jingjiang continued to speak sternly: "Everyone should be aware that the so-called villain and gentleman are not all determined by public opinion, but rather what they do and who they are. Although Lin Xiaofeng has some criticisms, he can care about his colleagues and be considerate of people's livelihood at critical moments. This is his true temperament, and he is truly a talented person for the country." As he spoke, he clenched his fists and pressed his fingertips, as if he wanted to use this action to convey his sense of injustice to everyone.

When the officials heard this, they all looked ashamed. They lowered their heads and looked at the Shengshi potatoes in their hands, as if they could see Lin Xiaofeng's tenacity and dedication in this simple piece of food. Emperor Jingjiang's words were like a mirror, reflecting their vacillation and loss in power and moral choices.

Hearing this, the bachelors had different expressions on their faces. They held the Golden Age Potato from Lin Xiaofeng tightly in their hands, with mixed feelings in their hearts. They couldn't believe that Lin Xiaofeng, who was usually sharp-tongued and decisive, could perform such considerate acts of kindness. The hunger in the belly was like a beast biting, and the entanglement could not last for a moment. After all, they could not resist the temptation of food. They put the Shengshi potatoes in their hands into their mouths. While chewing and swallowing, they secretly thought in their hearts: Since I have broken the precept and had a taste, why not One more bite? After all, at this moment, hunger is surging like a tidal wave.

When Lin Xiaofeng saw this, he just smiled indifferently. He straightened his body and raised his voice. There was a sense of calmness and calmness in his words: "Your Majesty has given you too much praise. People in the world may slander, insult, despise, or hate me. I just ask for patience. Tolerance, adaptability, tolerance. How you all view me is not something I am particularly concerned about. However, if my loyalty to Your Majesty is affected because of me, I will feel deeply guilty and ashamed." His words. It was so loud that it echoed in the silent night, as if every word and every sentence carried a power that could not be ignored and was deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

After hearing Lin Xiaofeng's words, all the scholars sneered at Lin Xiaofeng's flattery in their hearts, but on the surface they were as cold as ice and composed. The corners of Emperor Jingjiang's lips curled up slightly, and there was a hint of amusement and thoughtfulness hidden in that smile. He turned around silently, stepped onto the doorstep of the carriage, and thought to himself: This boy is quite articulate, so it would be better to discuss this matter in private. .

Lin Xiaofeng observed his words and knew that Emperor Jingjiang's mood could not be cooled down at this moment, so he hurriedly ordered the carriage beside him to approach Emperor Jingjiang's chariot. He leaned out half of his body and said with concern and urgency in his voice: "Your Majesty, do you intend to return to the palace immediately? ?”

Emperor Jingjiang did not respond immediately, but asked in reply, with a hint of ridicule and helplessness in his tone: "What else can you do? Can't you stay here and watch the ministers kneel down?" Upon seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng quickly seized the opportunity to explain further. Ci Jin admonished: "The minister has conceived a plan in advance, which may be able to make you change your mind and solve the current predicament as soon as possible. The environment in Jinlinfang is chaotic and the conditions are difficult. Your Majesty may not be able to rest peacefully here. It is better to end this situation as soon as possible." If there is any dispute, please return to the palace as soon as possible so that you can concentrate on handling state affairs. Moreover, your Majesty is physically and mentally exhausted due to heavy government affairs. It is not appropriate to continue to suffer here."

Emperor Jingjiang stroked his beard and thought deeply, his eyes as deep as the abyss, and deep in his heart there were waves: If Lin Xiaofeng's intelligence and courage could replace the prince, it might be a good thing. His sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the fog of the night, looking into the distance, his thoughts wandering between trade-offs. Seeing that Emperor Jingjiang was deep in thought and silent, Lin Xiaofeng asked again: "Your Majesty, what do you think of this?" Emperor Jingjiang came back from his thoughts, chin slightly, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Very good! I will follow your advice. I will wait for your good advice to be carried out."

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he was overjoyed, but with a hidden indifference on his face. He turned back to his carriage and sighed with emotion: "This is undoubtedly your Majesty's trust in me. It's an extraordinary day." It can be easily won by writing memorials day after day." His mind was churning, as bright as a candle in the dark night, thinking about how the upcoming drama could destroy this group of extremely snobbish bachelors who only care about immediate interests. Break. Jinlinfang is a place full of disasters, whether living there or commuting there, it is full of hardships. At this moment, the bachelors had completely eaten the three potatoes each had been given, and the feeling of hunger was still biting their will, as if reflecting the emptiness and helplessness in their hearts.

Lin Xiaofeng sat firmly outside the car, his legs knotted like rocks. He lowered his eyes and silently looked down at the people around him. Although the bachelors were unwilling to do so, they all held their heads high and looked at him with burning eyes, as if an invisible contest was going on quietly.

Suddenly, a sound of "he~tui!" sounded, and a mouthful of thick saliva cut through the night sky like a meteor and fell straight into the sewage. Lin Xiaofeng's move was like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting the anger of the bachelors. Their angry eyes were full of blame and dissatisfaction. However, because the emperor was still in the carriage, he could not express his anger in person, so he could only look at him silently. Delivering warning and condemnation to Lin Xiaofeng.

Faced with everyone's sullen looks, Lin Xiaofeng's lips slightly raised a meaningful smile. He turned around and returned to the carriage unhurriedly. He took out an exquisite tray from the hidden compartment, with steaming roasted chicken and plump chicken on it. The plump Shengshi potatoes and a pot of mellow spirits. He unceremoniously tore off a plump chicken leg, chewed and tasted it, and then threw the bones into the filthy water. Then, he began to peel the golden potato again, and pieces of potato skin fell into the water like autumn leaves, making ripples in circles.

Seeing this scene, the bachelors finally couldn't restrain their indignation. Their patience reached the limit, and they accused in unison: "Lin Xiaofeng! Did you deliberately dump swill in the water last night, causing us to suffer such unbearable suffering? "The words were full of questions and accusations, and every word was like a sharp arrow piercing Lin Xiaofeng's heart. And how will Lin Xiaofeng respond to this? What kind of calculations and considerations are hidden in his heart?

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he frowned slightly, like a strong wind blowing across the lake, causing ripples. He looked sideways at the questioner and asked, "What do you mean by swilling water?" There was a trace of doubt and coldness in his words. Cai Yingyang examined Lin Xiaofeng's expression and realized that it was not a disguise, so he closed his eyes and chose to wait and see what happened, no longer participating in this unnecessary dispute.

However, the other bachelors did not give up because of this. Their eyes were as bright as torches and their words were as sharp as knives: "Don't pretend to be pretentious! You must be the one who dumped the swill last night! We must expose your true face!" Lin Xiaofeng's eyes drifted towards him calmly. Li Dexian already understood the whole story from the bottom of his heart. This kid is a quick learner. Is this a drama he prepared in advance? Lin Xiaofeng felt that such a method was too immature, but no matter what, he absolutely could not bear the blame.

Therefore, Lin Xiaofeng calmly responded to everyone: "Don't talk nonsense! If this matter was really done by me, how could there be such obvious flaws? I don't treat you harshly, on the contrary. You have repeatedly provoked me. These foods were given by His Majesty. Why do you doubt and harm me?" Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a thunderbolt in the sky, causing the originally noisy scene to fall into silence. Indeed, if it was really Lin Xiaofeng who did it, his methods would never be so rough and traceable. In addition, they had just tasted the Shengshi potatoes and their bellies were full and warm, so they temporarily put aside the suspicion and resentment in their hearts.

Time flies, and the original peace in front of Yimen is broken in an instant. Along with a string of bubbles rising under the water, a proud smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xiaofeng's mouth. That smile was like the sunshine in winter, penetrating the morning mist and shining directly into people's hearts. Li Dexian couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hands, suppressing a smile, and the cunning in his eyes was like the twinkling stars in the night sky. (End of chapter)
