Mrs. Pinqiao

Chapter 54
No matter what Tan Su was doing, Lin Gaoxu didn't want to be involved, but the situation she laid out step by step made him unable to refuse. He knew from the beginning that her approach was malicious and deliberately alienated. But still hard to guard against.

Thinking of this, Lin Gaoxu frowned.

When he was young, Lin Gaoxu was also very high-spirited and eager to serve the court. He learned martial arts when he was young, so that he could shoulder the burden of his father and protect Da Nie. But when he grew up, he realized that Da Nie had always been There is no shortage of generals, but a lack of good officials like Li Jue who are in charge of Qingming.

That year was the time when Li Jue defeated the traitor Ning Xiu. Regardless of his father's objection, he abandoned martial arts and followed literature, and resolutely entered the court. However, the prosperity he imagined did not come, but a nightmare. Li Jue missed the throne, the incompetent Li Yan ascended to the throne of God, the empress Yin Qingqing was a treacherous concubine, and Ning Xiu left behind an illegitimate son named Ning Zimo.

Da Nie was shrouded in a miasma, and he tried to change this situation, but no one around him was not greedy, so he was out of tune with this court. Lin Hou was down, and those people were mocking him both openly and secretly. , no matter how much effort you put in, nothing will sink into the sea, and no waves will stir up.

But none of these made him give up. What really made him give up was not those treacherous people, but Li Jue.

He said that as a minister, he must be loyal to the emperor.

Lin Gaoxu was so angry at his words that he laughed so hard that his chest ached.

Loyal to the emperor, the loyal one should be the wise emperor, not the faint emperor!
Loyal ministers should also be Ming Zhong, not Yu Zhong!
Even Li Jue can't tell right from wrong like this, so why worry about Da Nie?Lin Gaoxu was disheartened, just like when he came, he resolutely left, vowing that he would never intervene in the affairs of the court in his life, he locked himself in the Marquis's mansion, and for so many years, he has been watching coldly, waiting for how these people will destroy the Dalai Lama. Nie, how did he dig his own grave.

But there happened to be a Tan Su who always tried every means to use Yin Sheng and himself through Yin Sheng.

Lin Gaoxu let out a sigh of relief, and cast his eyes on the person who came over. Yin Sheng was still a boy who didn't know anything, and ran over carelessly, "Brother Gaoxu! Here!"

Behind him was Tan Su, who squinted her eyes and smiled like a fox. She was still dressed in green, as thin as a bamboo pole, and she walked like a wind. .”

Lin Gaoxu glanced at her, "Commander Lu is already inside."

Tan Su saluted again with a smile, "Thank you, Young Master."

Lin Gaoxu turned around and walked in front, "San'er, go to the guest room and wait."

"what?"

After entering the main hall, there was no Yin Sheng anymore, Lin Gaoxu asked her without looking back: "How do you want me to help you?"

"Young Master introduced me to them, and Tan Su will adapt to the rest."

Lin Gaoxu always felt uncomfortable, so he added, "This is not an example."

Tan Su looked at his back with a smile, but didn't answer.

Passing through the main hall, there is a side hall inside, and as soon as I got outside, I heard the voices inside, one sounded like a bell, most likely it was Lu Tong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and the other was obviously a little out of breath, sounding like he was getting old, do not know who.

Lin Gaoxu was about to go in, but was stopped by Tan Su, "Who is the other one?"

"It's Chen Muxi and Chen Taishi, King Jing's former mentor. Since King Jing was imprisoned, he has been running around trying to rescue him. Commander Lu brought him here this time, presumably in the hope that my father can help." He bowed his head after speaking. Looking at her, he noticed that she was frowning, her face was alert, which was very different from the usual expression, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Just as she was about to push the door open, Tan Su grabbed her again, this time at her wrist. Her hand was as cold as a dead person, and there was a deep strength hidden under her slender fingers.

I only heard Lu Tong inside say: "... Lin Hou and I are close friends, King Jing is a loyal minister like him, and he will definitely help Chen Taishi with whatever he asks for."

Chen Muxi sighed, and said cliche, "Commander Lu, listen to me, the key now is not how many people will help, but how much they can help. I'm afraid Lin Hou will be powerless in this matter."

Lu Tong's voice was a little excited, "That's better than doing nothing, right? The prince has been imprisoned for three months, and that thief doesn't allow anyone to visit him at all. Who knows whether he is dead or alive!"

Chen Muxi was silent for a while, "It would be great if I could see the prince, he will definitely have a solution."

"But those people from Xingbu will not let them in, for fear of offending the thief!"

"I do know that besides Ning Xiang, there is another person who can come and go freely..."

Tan Su suddenly pushed Lin Gaoxu in, and frightened the people inside with a "bang", "Young Master, you..."

Lin Gaoxu saluted respectfully, "My father has something important to do, so he specially ordered Gao Xu to come and receive the two of you."

Chen Muxi was a little disappointed, "That's it, then we won't bother, and we will visit Lin Hou when he is free."

After finishing speaking, she was about to get up, when she suddenly heard a chuckle from outside, she was a little free-spirited, "What is difficult for the two adults? For Tan Su, there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved with money. If there is, then use gold."

She slowly stepped in from the door, smiling sweetly, "You two adults think what I said is right?"

Lu Tong's eyes widened all of a sudden, "It's you! Why are you here, you treacherous..."

Chen Muchi stopped his next words, and looked at Tan Su with a cold gaze, with a sharpness hidden in the vicissitudes of life, "Young Lord, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Gaoxu explained: "Master Tan happened to be a guest at the Hou Mansion, and when he heard that the two adults were coming, he wanted to come over to say hello."

Lu Tong couldn't hold back, "You actually associate with this kind of person! Do you know that she is now the person next to the traitor, and she has done so many dirty things with him!"

Lin Gaoxu raised his eyelids slightly, still calm, "Gao Xu doesn't know, Gao Xu never asks about court affairs, he only knows that he is a guest at the door, this is just the way of hospitality in the Hou Mansion."

"You!" Lu Tong was so blocked that he couldn't say a word, "The loyal ministers of Lin Hou gave birth to a son like you who can't distinguish between right and wrong!"

"Commander Lu." Chen Muxi interrupted him, and secretly winked, signaling him not to say any more, "Young Lord, I'm leaving first."

Lin Gaoxu did not speak, but glanced at Tan Su.

Tan Su smiled without saying a word, her slender fingers were playing with a piece of token, which looked very bulky, when Chen Muxi left, he glanced at her, and his eyes fell on the token in her hand again.

After walking a long way, Chen Muxi said slowly, "The person I'm talking about, apart from Ning Xiang, who can come and go freely in Xingbu is Tan Su."

"These two are working together!"

Chen Muxi thought for a while, and then continued: "Ning Xiang is pervasive, but Tan Su is not."
