Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 722 Yes, I, Lin Qing, rebelled
The fishermen who lived on their boats at the dock walked out of their cabins and looked northwest. They heard screams coming from the back hill and were all worried about the servants and guards living in the Wang family villa.

There was a pier between Chu Pingsheng's boat and Xu Fengnian's boat. Ning Emei, who was doing morning exercises, was on the left, and Zhao Fengya, who was washing her teeth with willow branches, was on the right. The eye contact that lasted for a cup of tea was broken by the movement on the top of the mountain. The kidnapped Princess Li Yang held her head high like a proud winner, and slashed the neck of the captain of the Feng camp with a knife, with her eyes wide open and her tongue sticking out, a look of provocation on her face.

Jiang Ni also saw the scene on the mountain. Li Chungang seduced her and asked if she wanted to learn sword. If she learned sword from him, one day, she would be able to flatten the mountain with one sword.

"If you can't even keep Third Aunt safe, what use are you?"

The sound waves rolled, piercing through the clouds and chasing the wind. It was in my ears one moment and in my heart the next. The islanders who were drunk last night were awakened, and hurried out of the house in their pajamas, asking with sleepy eyes what happened.

People outside the Wang family manor didn't know what happened, and guessed that it was related to the third aunt of the White Sword God. Wang Linquan and his three sons, and the youngest daughter who wanted to commit suicide, just learned from the doctor that the third wife of the Lin family didn't make it and died. But the problem is, she was clearly injured by Lin Qing, and instead of crying over the rat, what the hell is this Guanyin statue on the top of the mountain that is venting her anger?

Yesterday she was acting like a heartless person, but today she is acting like a loving mother and a filial son? What's going on?
Wang Linquan looked at his crying little daughter once, then a second time, and a third time.

……

After a stick of incense.

Wang Linquan had just finished listening to the report from his second son. When he learned that most of the villa in the back mountain was destroyed, he could not help but grit his teeth. He wanted to curse a few words to vent his anger, but the white-robed sword immortal descended from the sky and forced all his anger back into his stomach. He quickly changed his face to be fawning, took the sword and offered the tea, respectfully invited her to take a seat, and spoke earnestly about the matter of the third wife of the Lin family, expressing his deep regret, as if he didn't know that the person who had done the cruel thing yesterday was Lin Tanhua, who was drinking tea with him.

This is so hypocritical, it's embarrassing.

Wang Linquan knew that this was not a good thing, but he had no choice. Anyone who encountered such a moody and fickle master would be lucky not to be driven crazy.

"I killed the guardian deity of Laoshan Island, and you don't seem angry at all?"

"It should be chopped off, it should be chopped off." Wang Linquan clasped his hands and bowed, his long sleeves reaching the ground. "As a holy spirit, you should protect this area. The third lady was at the foot of the Guanyin statue. She usually ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures, accumulating good deeds. Who would have thought that she would pass away suddenly overnight? She couldn't even benefit three inches of land, let alone the 800-li Chunshen Lake?"

Chu Pingsheng glanced at him and put down the teacup with delicate glaze and great feel. "Wang Linquan, you sent your beloved daughter to my bed, which fully proved the loyalty of the Wang family to the Lin family. Are you afraid that I don't trust you? From now on, we will be father-in-law and son-in-law. Why do we need to use such lies and empty words to maintain the relationship?"

"Well, what you said is right, sir." Wang Linquan resisted the urge to curse and said, "I just hope that if you do something like what you did just now, you can let me know in advance so that I can prepare early."

Chu Pingsheng pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "Guess why I cut down the Guanyin statue?"

Wang Linquan said: "Young Master, you must have your reasons for doing this."

In fact, he was very curious about why Lin Qing had a problem with the statue of Guanyin with a Pure Vase. He once guessed that Lin Qing thought Wu Su was an eyesore. However, there was a problem here. Lin Qing was still young when Wu Su died. According to common sense, it was impossible for him to connect the statue of Guanyin with Wu Su.

"I have to make some noise to tell Jing'an Prince Zhao Heng and the people of Qingzhou that I'm back, and I have to show my attitude. The Third Madam passed away, I chopped down the Guanyin statue on Laoshan Island, and Zhao Heng killed all the male members of the Lin family. He won't think that he can turn the page by pretending not to know. I believe that what happened here will soon reach Jing's Mansion."

"Young Master is indeed very far-sighted. This big fuss is worth it."

This is exactly the effect Wang Linquan wanted. He no longer felt sad or angry, and his old face looked like a withered vine with spring again.

"Big noise? What kind of big noise is this? Why don't we make something bigger."

"Sir?"

"Laoshan Island is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I think it is better to chop down the wood and raise the pole, point the sword at Tai'an, and destroy the Zhao family of Liyang."

Wang Linquan's gloomy old face trembled slightly, and he took a half step back, subconsciously pinching his sleeves, looking a little nervous. Xu Xiao and Li Yishan's goal was to provoke the opposition between Lin Qing and the court, drag the Zhao family into the water, and gather the power of the world to eliminate this big devil, but he never expected that Lin Qing would directly skip the step of dealing with Zhao Heng and his son to avenge the men of the Lin family and directly raise the flag of rebellion.

“Isn’t that too hasty?”

"Before in Lingzhou, Xu Xiao was like a defeated dog in front of me. He didn't dare to go home, didn't dare to take revenge, and didn't dare to save his daughter. He even had to use you, a triple spy, to rescue the women of the Lin family and humbly beg for peace. Now that the Wang family has recognized the master, with the natural barrier of the 800-li Chunshen Lake, shouldn't they go a step further? Otherwise, how can I be worthy of a loyal minister like you? When I destroy the Zhao family and seize the world, your daughter will be the queen of a country, and you will be a founding hero and the father-in-law of the new dynasty." "..."

Chu Pingsheng's face turned cold. "Why? Wang Linquan, you have the guts to offend Zhao Heng for me, but you don't have the guts to raise the flag of rebellion for me? With that sword strike just now, do you think Zhao Heng can still hide the fact that the Wang family rescued the women of the Lin family?"

Wang Linquan took two more steps back, threw his sleeves to the ground, and knelt down, "I will do whatever you want, sir."

"Why does Old Taishan need to perform such a great ceremony?"

Chu Pingsheng raised his right hand, and Wang Linquan's whole body floated in the air, looking ugly like a toad. He kicked his feet again and again, but was always half a foot away from the ground. Finally, he had to look over for help. The moody guy who changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book just released his strength and allowed him to land.

"Tell your people in Xiangfan to spread the news that Liyang is unjust, the Zhao family is immoral, and the Wang family of Laoshan Island has rebelled."

Chu Pingsheng patted his shoulder and walked outside: "You should understand better than me that wealth and honor can only be achieved through risk."

Wang Linquan gathered his sleeves and bowed his head, escorting the person outside. When he saw no one around, he returned to the hall and sat down. He drank a cup of tea to calm his nerves, and when he touched his back, he found that his robe had collapsed. The situation was indeed developing in a direction that the Xu family was happy to see, but he felt a deep anxiety in his heart, just like a carriage moving in the right direction, but too fast, so fast that it was beyond the driver's control.

……

Two days later.

Xiangfan City is connected to Chunshen Lake in the north and is the gateway to Western Chu. Before Liyang conquered the six kingdoms, Western Shu was to the northwest of Chunshen Lake, Nanzhao to the southeast, and Liyang to the northeast. There were frictions among the kingdoms and frequent wars. Therefore, Xiangfan has always been regarded as a strategic point by Western Chu and known as the backbone of the world. Xu Xiao led his troops to the south and fought with Western Shu and Western Chu here. Wang Mingyang, an old minister of Western Chu, was ordered to defend the city for three years. Western Chu and Western Shu were destroyed, but he still refused to surrender. In order to show his determination, he cooked his wife and children and held on until the city was finally broken. Less than 10,000 of the more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians survived. Since then, he has been rated as the best defender in the world. Some people admire his loyalty and bravery, while others accuse him of risking his life for fame and losing his conscience. In short, he has mixed reputations.

The imperial court did not forbid the people of Liyang from wearing clothes with Northern Mang style, and Northern Mang-style songs and dances were popular. Some people used the name of the world's number one defender to do business, which was of course acceptable. As a result, Mingyang Tower became the most prosperous restaurant in Xiangfan City. It was the first choice for literati, martial artists, and dignitaries to entertain guests and friends, because one could sit in the tower and point to the sky, carry wine and reminisce. The historical stories were very popular and loved by everyone.

In the private room of Qingzhu, a young man looked out the window and saw two fishermen pushing a cart into the city. In the wooden barrels were carp after carp from Chunshen Lake. Several cheap women surrounded the cart and bargained for two cents, drooling over it.

"Have you heard? Lin Tanhua, who caused a lot of trouble in Beiliang, has come to Qingzhou and is now on Laoshan Island in Chunshen Lake."

The thin man opposite, wearing a silk scarf and a feather fan, who had studied the philosophy of the noble family for two years at Shangyin Academy, said, "I heard that Wang Linquan, who is responsible for managing the property for Prince Jing'an, is a spy planted by the Lin family by Prince Jing'an's side. Now that Lin Qing, the only male member of the Lin family, has returned, he has surrendered with the women of the Lin family he rescued earlier and has played a trick on the prince."

"The news about you two is outdated." Facing the window but unable to see the street, a bearded man sat. His long gown was white and wrinkled, and there were spots of mud on the top of his boots. He looked the most tired of the three people, and also the most greedy. He drank 70% of the half catty of Wuliangjiu alone. "The Wang family of Laoshan has raised the banner of rebellion and wants to fight against the court with Lin Qing."

The two men's expressions changed: "Are you serious?"

"Can I lie to you about this? The fishermen who make a living in Chunshen Lake have received a notice from the Qingzhou Navy that they are not allowed to approach Laoshan Island in the near future. If they do not, they will bear the consequences themselves."

The young man and the thin man looked at each other in shock. They had thought that if Wang Linquan defected to Lin Qing, he would at most cause trouble for Prince Jing'an. Wang Linquan must have some shameful secrets in the palace. If the situation got out of hand, the Zhao family of Liyang might give the Qing Party a way out and severely punish Zhao Heng and his son. After all, Prime Minister Zhang Julu had always advocated the reduction of the power of the princes. As long as the Northern Mang army did not move, the combination of Qilin Zhenren and Lin Qing could not be said to challenge the bottom line of the royal family. Now Wang Linquan directly raised the banner of rebellion, which was like stabbing the Liyang royal family in the heart. There was no room for maneuver.

The young man called it ridiculous. In Qingzhou, the name Wang Linquan was a golden signboard and a model of a successful businessman. How could he do something that was doomed to lose money, such as rebelling on Xianlaoshan Island!

"I really don't know what kind of drug Lin gave Wang Linquan to make him so insane."

The bearded man burped without the taste of peas: "Wang Linquan wants to marry his youngest daughter to him."

"Wang Chudong? He wrote poems at the age of six, and wrote "The First Snow in the East Chamber" at the age of fifteen. It is said that even the concubines in the harem came to urge Wang Chudong to finish his manuscript? He is crazy. Wang Linquan must be crazy. Why does he think that Lin Qing can compete with the Zhao family? If the Northern Mang's national master Qilin Zhenren can overthrow Liyang, why would the Northern Mang need to send troops to the border?"

The bearded man seemed not to have heard the thin man's analysis. His face flushed and he was out of breath. His upper body swayed slightly and he leaned over the table, knocking over half a cup of wine that had been dripped with vegetable oil. A beech chopstick with the word Ming Yang engraved on the tip rolled off the table and fell to the ground.
