Linglong

Chapter 111

Seeing her pale face, King Zhou felt pity and puzzled at the same time, and asked in a low voice: "Little Lingdang, are you afraid of your father? He scolds people very fiercely?"

Linglong stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance for a while, then slowly lowered her waist, as if she wanted to hide herself so that Uncle Yu could not see her, and muttered: "No way, he never scolded me I'm not afraid of being scolded, I'm filial to the child, and I worry about angering him, do you understand?"

King Zhou smiled slightly, "Okay, you are a filial child."

Linglong jumped off the bluestone, looked around, and saw a big willow tree nearby, the tree was so thick that two people couldn't hold it together, bent her waist, and walked briskly towards the willow tree, "Hurry up, hide!"

King Zhou couldn't help laughing when he saw that she just wanted to hide from her father like a child who did something wrong.

Seeing that Uncle Yu's figure was getting closer, King Zhou thought for a while, and followed Linglong to hide behind the willow tree.

Seeing that he was also coming, Linglong laughed at him in a low voice, "Wang Xiaosan, so you are also afraid, so you have to hide."

King Zhou imitated her tone just now, "I'm not afraid of being scolded, I'm worried about angering him, do you understand?"

He imitated him very well, vividly, and made Linglong giggle.

The sound of Uncle Yu's footsteps was getting closer, and the smile on Linglong's face gradually subsided, and she clung to the willow tree, as if she would be safe in this way.King Zhou also had a quick heartbeat, thinking, "If Little Bell's father finds us and gets furious, what should I do? Say that Little Bell was kidnapped by me, and it's none of her business, or just take Little Bell with him." Let him go, let him have no place to vent his anger?" Inadvertently turned his head, seeing Linglong helpless like a frightened deer, his heart suddenly felt tender, and thought: "If Mr. Yu must scold people, let him scold me , don’t scold Little Bell.”

"Mr. Yu."

"Master Chang."

The sound of two people greeting each other sounded outside.

Zhou Wang and Linglong were curious, and they all quietly looked out at the same time.

The old general also came over from another direction, and was greeting Uncle Yu politely.

Linglong's eyes moved flexibly, thinking in her mind, "Didn't my father come to arrest me? Didn't he make an appointment with the old man to meet here?" The king of Zhou and her had a good understanding, and they also thought about it, "I was just worrying for nothing. Mr. Yu didn't know that I came to see Little Lingdang quietly, but because I had an appointment with my grandfather."

There is a huge boulder in front of the willow tree. The surface of the stone is smooth enough for people to sit on. The old general and Uncle Yu probably thought the scenery here was good, so they walked over here.

Linglong was nervous and grabbed King Zhou's hand tightly.

Her hands were extremely soft, Zhou Wang was clenched by her, his heart was pounding, and he didn't pay much attention to what the old general and Uncle Yu said outside.

Linglong held her ears and listened very carefully.

The old general was talking about the past events of the late emperor. After hearing his story, Linglong suddenly realized: more than 30 years ago, this empire was just established.Chang's parents and daughters were registered as crown princesses, and they gave birth to two sons, namely the eldest grandson and the third emperor's grandson. The eldest grandson died young, and the prince also died of illness. The late emperor hesitated for a long time between the second grandson and the third grandson, and finally made Concubine Lu's son the grandson of the emperor.

The old general's voice was desolate, "Mr. Yu, after the late emperor established the emperor's grandson, how should the Chang family and the Lan family deal with each other?"

Linglong's heart tightened.The late emperor had such a suspicious temperament, since he made Lu's son the grandson of the emperor, can he still accommodate the Chang family and the Lan family?How can it be.Chang and Lan are heavily armed, how could he leave such a powerful enemy for the emperor grandson?With his temperament, he would definitely cut the grass and root out and start a brutal killing.

Uncle Yu was silent for a long time, and asked slowly: "Master, did you decide to fake death at that time?"

The old general looked calm, "I faked my death, my brother-in-law claimed to be sick, and my nephew broke off relations with the Chang family. My three sons, the eldest son is really outstanding. In order to escape the catastrophe, I had to pretend that he was a child brought in, not my own. Rao Even so, he was chased and killed many times and was forced to jump into the river to escape; my second son bowed his knees in front of the emperor's grandson, pretended to be a snake, forced a smile on his face; my youngest daughter was only married to the Dai Wang not long ago, and the Dai Wang tried his best to protect her, so she escaped A catastrophe."

It must have been an extremely difficult time, and everyone in the Chang family and the Lan family was in a precarious situation—even though the old general’s mood did not fluctuate much after many years, and his tone was calm and calm, but the past was too tragic , The chilling air came rushing towards my face.

Linglong's face was serious.

King Zhou looked over distractedly and distractedly. Seeing his strange smile, Linglong gave him a dissatisfied look, stretched out her hand and pointed outward, signaling him to listen carefully and not to make trouble.King Zhou could not help feeling resentful in his heart, "You used to ignore me when you kissed me before, but now, you just shook my hand a moment ago, and now you turn your face and deny anyone!" Linglong's father, no matter how much he has an opinion, it's not good to speak out at this time, so he was so angry that he had to hold it in his heart.

"Little Bell, I will settle accounts with you in the future!" King Zhou gritted his teeth secretly.

"When all these things happened, Saburo was not born yet." The old general changed his subject and looked at Uncle Yu with a sincere expression, "Mr. Yu, these things have nothing to do with Saburo, are you right? Take the past of the late emperor It's really unfair to blame Saburo!"

Linglong was really moved by the old general's words.Wang Xiaosan, Wang Xiaosan, look how kind your grandfather is to you!After going through such a big effort and going through such a big detour, he even recalled the tragic past that was unbearable for him, just to speak for you, to speak out for you!

King Zhou was also very moved.

Linglong squeezed King Zhou's palm, and winked at him, intending to remind him, "Look at how kind your grandfather is to you!" King Zhou was embarrassed, and a faint pink appeared on his cheeks like fine porcelain. , "What are you pinching my hand for? Little Bell, you are getting more and more frivolous and disrespectful." Complaining in his heart, he was unwilling to be molested in vain, so he gently squeezed Linglong's little hand.Linglong's little hands are different from his, they are warm and soft, and the tentacle smells fragrant. King Zhou has always been self-disciplined, and he has never been like this with a girl in his life, so he can't help being moved.

Linglong sensed that his expression was wrong, felt resentful in her heart, and pinched him hard.King Zhou wanted to inhale in pain, but he didn't dare to inhale, lest he would be heard by Uncle Yu outside, and he looked very embarrassed. "It deserves it!" Linglong gloated at him and continued to eavesdrop.

Zhou Wang was so angry that his teeth were itching, but now he was angry and couldn't do anything about her, so he listened to her together.

"So, after the death of the first emperor, all the kings raised their troops one after another, and there were not many veteran generals left in the court. The Chang family and the Lan family who preserved their strength stood out from the chaos." Uncle Yu said in a gentle and polite voice, "Old man, Yu However, the Yu family is different from your family, the Yu family has always only had useless scholars, they can't go to the battlefield, and they can't win power, but they just live in peace."

"My wife and I only have one daughter. We love her dearly. I have no other expectations for her. I just want her to live this life safely and smoothly. I don't want her to go through ups and downs, let alone expect her to be rich and honorable. Old man, I didn't take my anger out on others because of the past, it's just that Qi Dafei didn't dare to climb high, after all—"

Uncle Yu paused for a moment, and then said in a slow tone: "After all, I'm just a scholar. I can't rush forward like the old man and fight a bloody way for my precious daughter. If the little girl climbs up to the nobleman, her ups and downs will be destroyed in the future." Shen Chen, can I just watch? What else can I do for her? Is there something wrong with my little girl and him, can I take a book and talk to him about etiquette?"

Linglong leaned against the tree sadly.

Uncle Yu clearly told Mr. Chang euphemistically that you have military power, and you can make a comeback after feigning death, and help your son-in-law to the throne after a scuffle.I am not as capable as you. If my daughter marries King Zhou, is it necessary to tie her future happiness to King Zhou's favor?What should King Zhou do if he doesn't love her? What if he treats her badly?Should I use a book to reason with him?I don't have diamonds, and I don't want to do that porcelain job. I don't want to do such a thing. I don't have a girl from a commoner's family to marry the king of Zhou to be a princess.

"My father really loves me and thinks about me in the long run." Linglong thought guiltily.

The old general was a little surprised, "So, Mr. Yu is not prejudiced against Saburo because of the past, but..."

"Qi Dafei." Uncle Yu said in an affirmative tone.

The old general patiently persuaded: "Mr. Yu, you don't have to have such worries. When the country was founded, most of the kings and concubines were the daughters of meritorious officials, but now it is different. What your majesty and queen mean is that as long as the girl is good, the meritorious officials will be honored by Qi's family." Whether it is a daughter of a wealthy family or a daughter of a civil official family, it is the same as a daughter of a commoner's family, there is no difference."

Uncle Yu smiled, "Since Your Majesty and the Empress have said this, how dare the servant argue. Old man, for the Yu family, it is best for a young girl to marry into a well-matched family. If the son-in-law treats him poorly, someone from my family will naturally come forward to reason. Forget it, the family is too high, can I get in through the gate? Is there a place for me to talk after entering? Yu is not talented, so he still has this self-knowledge, and he won't go to seek humiliation."

"Your father thinks too much." King Zhou couldn't bear it any longer, he opened his mouth to Linglong and mouthed something.

Seeing Linglong's confused face, as if she didn't understand, she said it again angrily.

This time Linglong understood, gave him a blank look, and stretched out her fingers to write in the air, "Parents love their children, and their plans are far-reaching."

The king of Zhou was not convinced, "What kind of plan is far-reaching, it is purely wild thinking, I don't know what it means!"

He spoke with his mouth, with so many words, Linglong couldn't understand them for a while.

King Zhou was angry, he took Linglong's little hand and wrote on her hand.

Linglong felt a little itchy in her palms, she couldn't help smiling, and stretched out her hand to push him, "Go!"

Linglong is a natural beauty, she looks even better when she smiles, she is as delicate as soft jade, King Zhou's heart was so broken, he deliberately scratched her palm a few more times.He was so distracted that he didn't even know what he was writing.Linglong's palms were itchy even more, she dodged a few times without dodging, and went to hit him with a smile.

He raised his hand in the air, but stopped, and never fell down.

King Zhou's heart fluttered, and he whispered: "Fight, little Lingdang, I don't want to annoy you."

Linglong tried her best to squeeze out a smile, "Father, you are here."

Uncle Yu walked over at some point and was watching them quietly.
