i have queen halo

198 Chapter 198, set a bet
The exclamation of the two gate guards was particularly conspicuous in the night.

Accompanied by this voice, Lin Hao's face sank.

The two gate guards knew that they had caused trouble, so they were too frightened to speak out.

In the dark night, the sound of breathing seemed to become quieter.

In the room, Jin Cheng, who was standing next to the door against the wall, did not dare to show his atmosphere at this time.

He was even more afraid of being discovered than the guards outside the door.

After a while, there was another sound outside the door.

Jin Chengcai let out a sigh of relief while hugging his hungry stomach.

But his ears were pricked up even more than before.

Outside the door, the regretful voice of the older guard came.

"Brother Hao, we were too surprised just now."

The young guard beside him also knew that he had made a mistake just now, so he covered his mouth and nodded anxiously.

Lin Hao looked at the two of them, and said with a straight face: "The room behind you is the general's younger brother, what if he is brought here?"

"Brother Hao, the two of us were wrong, don't be angry. I promise we won't do it again." The older guard said it didn't count, but he looked at the younger guard, "Why don't you give Brother Hao a guarantee?"

Hearing the words, the young guard didn't dare to hesitate, let go of his hand, and immediately said: "Brother Hao, I dare not speak louder anymore."

"If you commit the crime again, I will turn around and leave." Lin Hao looked in the direction of the door, "If the third young master listens to my words, all three of us will suffer."

Speaking of this, Lin Hao suddenly regretted, "No, I still won't tell you."

"Don't! Brother Hao, we really know we're wrong." The elder guard didn't even think about it, words of flattery came out one after another.

Lin Hao listened without moving.

Seeing this, the older guards were even more eloquent in flattering words.

After listening to more than a dozen sentences in a row, Lin Hao smiled.

"Okay, if you flatter me, put it away!"

The older guard knew that the other party didn't care about what happened just now.

He also smiled and said: "Brother Hao, what I said is the most truthful thing. In my life, the luckiest thing in my life is to meet the young lady, and the second luckiest thing is to be taught by you, Brother Hao."

Lin Hao raised his chin in satisfaction, "What did I just say?"

"You said just now that the brother of the general in the room, when he left with the general's father that day, our general was left behind and was going to die." The elder guard replied cleverly without pausing.

For this, Lin Hao gave the other party an appreciative look.

Then Lin Hao changed his expression, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, if you were generals, would you feel good?"

The two guards shook their heads.

"Do you hate it?" Lin Hao asked again.

This time the elder guard not only nodded, but he also said: "Of course I hate it. The whole family escaped and left me to die. If I were a general, I would suspect that I picked it up."

"Is the general okay?" The young guard whispered out of curiosity.

Both Lin Hao and the elder guard looked over.

The young guard shrank back subconsciously.

Elderly guard: "You are still too young and have little knowledge. Our general is fine, it is our own ability. Think about it, kid, if someone wants to kill someone, because you are alert, the other party did not kill you , don’t you guys care about the other party killing you?”

"Of course not." The young guard replied without thinking.

Lin Hao looked at the older guard appreciatively, "Your metaphor is good. Our general is fine because the general is powerful. But because of this, he can't ignore it, and his family left him to die."

After speaking to the older guard, Lin Hao looked at the young guard again, "The person who wanted to kill you failed, and you know him again, what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, the young guard hesitated for a while before answering: "I will kill the other party."

"I can't tell, you're pretty ruthless, little guy?" The old guard clicked in surprise and said.

Hearing this, the young guard blushed in embarrassment.

Lin Hao looked at the young guard appreciatively, "You're a good kid, so I'll be so ruthless at you, I'm sure the master will like it."

After hearing this, the embarrassment on the young guard's face turned into surprise.

Seeing this, Lin Hao squinted and smiled.

He looked towards the door and said inscrutablely, "Our master is a ruthless man."

"Brother Hao, what do you mean, our general hates his family?" The elder guard said as soon as his mind turned.

Regarding this, Lin Hao didn't say anything, but just looked at the older guard lightly.

But the elder guard decided that this glance was affirmative.

He suddenly said: "No wonder people surrounded the gate before, and now we are guarding the gate. General, he is afraid that people will run away."

As he spoke, his voice became even quieter, "Brother Hao, you said earlier that the young master inside might not even have the chance to marry a wife, does it mean that our general wants to kill him?"

After the words were out of his mouth, the elder guard himself vehemently denied, "Impossible, the people inside are the relatives of the general. Even if there is hatred, it is impossible to kill them. What's more, the general's temperament, the general's Father must be clear. If the general can really have such a heart, the father of the general will not let his son come to die."

"How is it impossible?" Lin Hao restrained the expression on his face, and said softly: "Don't forget, our general was deliberately left to die. With the first one, why can't there be the second one? What's more , the father of the great general has no shortage of sons, especially the bastards."

Lin Hao spoke the last sentence slowly and clearly.

Clearing every single word can make people's backs tingle.

The old guard gasped, "No way? Such a father is too cruel."

No matter how surprised or astonished, it is finally someone else's business. After the elder guard sighed, he asked curiously: "Brother Hao, is the young master inside, is he dead this time?"

"No." Lin Hao replied simply.

And this unexpected answer made the elder guard squirm.

What you said just now was so vicious, why did it disappear when you turned around?

Lin Hao didn't wait for the other party to ask, he sighed and said: "You don't know, our general is suffering!"

Sighing again, Lin Hao explained: "Although our general really hated his family, he was unwilling to kill his own brother. But no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't resist the persecution of his biological father. Sigh ! Do you still remember the butler Jin who was caught in the middle of the night?"

The two guards nodded.

The older guard even said: "Why don't you remember, I was still there when the arrest happened!"

As soon as the context was connected, the elder guard said angrily: "Brother Hao, the father of the general, he asked the old housekeeper and the young master in the room to come to harm our general?"

Hearing this, the young guard also stared angrily.

Because what he just said was affirmed, the young guard at this time said murderously: "Brother Hao, they are not good people. If the general wants to kill them, I will be the first to do it."

"You are young and courageous. But as I said just now, the general is unwilling." Lin Hao didn't answer the elder guard's words. After he finished talking to the younger guard, he looked at the door again, " Do you know why the young master in the room was asked to write a letter to his family?"

Lin Hao didn't look at whether the two gate guards answered or not, but continued: "It's because the general cares about his family and wants to give the young master in the room a chance to survive."

"Brother Hao, what do you mean?" the elder guard asked curiously.

Lin Hao: "I heard that the general made a bet for himself. If the father of the general is willing to save the young master in the room with money, the general will let him go. If the father of the general thinks that his son has no money Importantly, the general can only kill my younger brother heartlessly."

"If you say that, I think the young master in the room is quite pitiful." The elder guard said.

Lin Hao shook his head, "There is no way, the general can care about family affection and let him go without compensation, but the other party will not care about family affection and will not come to harm the general anymore."

After a pause, Lin Hao said sadly: "The general and the young master in the room are both concubines. Maybe the general wants money, but he just wants to prove that the general's father still cares about the concubines a little bit, right? Actually, I think It would be better for the general to kill the young master in the room directly. It costs money, which may prove that the son is more important than money, but the general wants to let the person who harmed him go, and this is a matter of letting the tiger go back to the mountain!"

"Now I feel that the general and the young master in the room are pitiful enough. I actually met such a father." The old guard sighed, "Maybe the general wants money, just to give himself an excuse to let the young master in the room go. After all, as long as the general's father is not crazy, he will definitely use money to save his son. I just don't know, will the young master in the room be so lucky next time, that he will be able to save his life when he is sent to death by the general's father? "

Hearing this, Lin Hao said, "There are still very few people who sell their sons and daughters in this world. You must have spoken too early."

"Then the general's father doesn't give money, the general will really kill the young master in the room?" The elder guard obviously felt that what he said just now was too early, he was speechless, and asked again.

Lin Hao: "Do you think the general lacks the decisiveness to kill?"

"Hey! The general is very kind to give the young master such a chance." The old guard said with deep emotion, remembering the ruthlessness of the general's battle against the barbarians.

However, Lin Hao shook his head, "Not only the young master in the room, but also the butler Jin who was arrested, the general also gave him a chance. However, as far as I know, the general has a very serious heart to kill that steward Jin. So I also gave the opportunity, it was the young lady who helped to intercede."

"Our young lady's heart is too kind." The elder guard sighed: "This harmful person, meeting the general and the young lady, can be regarded as accumulating virtue in his previous life."

Lin Hao nodded and said: "I told you, how should you treat the young master in the room, but you know what to do?"

"Brother Hao, you have told us so thoroughly, how can we still not understand?" The elder guard said seriously: "Just one word, watch closely, we must never let the other party run away, let alone let the other party have another chance kill the general."

Lin Hao: "It's good that you understand. That's enough, the food is cold, you can use it, I have to go elsewhere."

After the words fell, Lin Hao took a deep look at the door and left.

Two gate guards: "Brother Hao, go slowly."

When Lin Hao's figure disappeared, the older guard looked at the younger guard, "Did you understand what I said just now?"

The young guard nodded.

"Now that you understand, let's take a sip of this wine and taste it." The elder guard said in a serious tone: "After all, the young master in this room cannot tolerate any mistakes."

One sip of wine, the two guards behind the door blocked the door and began to eat meat.

In the room, Jin Cheng squatted on the ground with a pale face.

The smell of meat drifted in through the crack of the door with the night wind, but Jin Cheng didn't respond at all.

In the backyard, Fu Jinzhi and Jin Meng got the news from the front yard.

Swipe back the subordinates casually.

Fu Jinzhi said: "Husband, I suddenly feel that even if my father is not willing to pay the ransom, I am willing to let my third brother go back."

As he said that, Fu Jinzhi looked at his man and asked, "Husband, do you think that after the third brother returns, will it affect the other younger brothers?"

"Should be." Jin Meng thought for a while and said, "I don't communicate much with other brothers, but Jin Cheng is still practicing martial arts with a few younger brothers."

Since they practice martial arts together, they naturally get along with each other every day.

Fu Jinzhi pursed his lips, "Hearing what my husband said, I look forward to Jincheng's return to Qingzhou."

Fu Jinzhi had expected Jin Meng's words.

After all, they are all brothers in the same family, so how could they have no intersection.

Even if my husband said that he doesn't communicate much with other brothers, it also means that there is communication.

And when the interests are the same, even if they do not communicate, they will naturally stand together.

Thinking about it, Fu Jinzhi said with a smile: "Husband, I now hope that my father will not be willing to pay the ransom. Then we will perform another scene of the third brother's narrow escape, and it will definitely be more exciting."

When Jin Meng heard this, his eyes widened, and he looked at his wife in disbelief.

Tonight's arrangement was enough to surprise him.

Unexpectedly, my wife had another idea so quickly.

But thinking about the scene at that time, Jin Meng felt that he was also looking forward to it.

It was simply the worst decision for my father to send his third brother to his wife.

With a clear cough, Jin Meng said: "Ma'am, Xun Mao came back this time and brought back a gentleman who is very accurate in divination. I plan to meet tomorrow?"

Thinking back to when Xun Mao left this morning, he was still admiring that hexagram master.

Jin Meng continued: "If the other party's calculation is accurate, would you like to meet Madam?"

"If the calculation is really accurate, I will naturally want to see you." Fu Jinzhi became interested when he heard the words.

She thought for a while, and said: "Husband, why don't you bring him back to the mansion tomorrow, and I will sit behind the study and listen."

"Okay." Since his wife was interested, Jin Meng naturally agreed.

Speaking of Xun Mao, Fu Jinzhi thought of General Wei again and asked his husband to ask about his children's marriage.

"Husband, if you go to the army tomorrow, remember to tell General Wei the result early. If you didn't go to the army today, General Wei must be in a hurry."

If his wife didn't tell him, Jin Meng would really have forgotten.

He shook his beard, "I wrote it down."
