Chapter 8 Broken House, Cold Residue
After three days, Li Linxiang, Xiao Lin and a thousand guards left Qing'an City. The masters of their team were Guangyuan Taoist, Qingyun Taoist and Pingping Elder.
All the way to Mingdu. Twelve days later, the group came to the west gate of Mingdu.
At this time, it was just dusk, but when Xiao Lin and his party went to the West Gate, the West Gate suddenly closed.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin's face darkened, and a trace of cold light flashed through his eyes.
Hesitating for a moment, Xiao Lin did not order the team to stop, but continued to walk forward.
Before he went to the west gate, Xiao Lin found that the gate had opened again before Xiao Lin shouted to the gate.
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment and heard the sound of horses' hoofs in the city, so he stared at the gate cave.
From the gate cave to the outside of the city was a cavalryman in heavy armor, led by a middle-aged man with a beard.
After a while, this cavalry of only 200 people came to Xiao Lin.
The leading middle-aged man looked at Xiao Lin up and down, turned over and got off the horse. He bowed to Xiao Lin and said, "The last general, Fan Xiaojin, see the marquis!"
Xiao Lin's eyes flashed. He turned over and got off the horse. He stepped forward and came to Fan Xiaojin. He bowed and said, "My little nephew has seen Uncle Fan!"
Fan Xiaojin looked at Xiao Lin up and down again and said in a low voice, "Marquis, please get on the horse!"
Xiao Lin originally wanted to get close to Fan Xiaojin. Seeing that Fan Xiaojin asked him to get on the horse, he hesitated for a moment and arched his hand to Fan Xiaojin and turned over the horse.
After Xiao Lin got on the horse, Fan Xiaojin walked to Xiao Lin's horse and took Xiao Lin's reins of the horse. Obviously, he wanted to lead Xiao Lin's horse.
A trace of joy flashed in Xiao Lin's eyes, but there was a look of fear on his face.
"How can uncle lead a horse for his little nephew? Does this arrangement break the little nephew?
As he spoke, Xiao Lin's body was crooked and seemed to be ready to disap off the horse.
Fan Xiaojin looked back at Xiao Lin and said in a low voice, "This is what the last general should do!" If there is an end, the marquis will have less trouble when he enters the city.
Before Xiao Lin could reply, Fan Xiaojin waved his hand and protected the people behind Xiao Lin in the middle with the 200 heavy armored cavalry he came out.
"Go!"
Fan Xiaojin gave an order and led the horse forward.
The name is not as good as that of an ordinary city. At dusk, the lively atmosphere on the street still has not completely dissipated.
When Xiao Lin left Mingdu, he was less than four years old, and he could say that he had no memory of Mingdu.
Where the group of people passed, the people got out of the way one after another. As the leader of the group, Xiao Lin did not feel any glory. What he felt was a kind of depression that seemed to be dangerous at any time.
When he reached the second intersection, Fan Xiaojin stopped and turned around and asked Xiao Lin, "Marquis, do you want to go back to Xiao's house or to the palace?"
Xiao Lin thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Go to the palace first!"
"Yes!"
Fan Xiaojin answered and continued to pull the horse forward.
After more than two quarters of an hour, the group came to the door of the palace.
The door of the palace was open, but when the group came to the door of the palace, the guard stopped the group.
"Come and stop!"
After saying this, all the gatekeepers said this. As soon as they took a step forward, they were beaten back and flew out by Fan Xiaojin's palm.
"Can you stop the Marquis of Pingyang? All back off!"
Hearing Fan Xiaojin's scolding, the doorkeeper looked at each other and retreated to both sides in a panic.
Fan Xiaojin's palm did not directly kill all the gatekeepers, but his cultivation was wasted, which made him unable to even get up for a while.
Seeing Fan Xiaojin staring at him step by step, the pale face of the gatekeeper suddenly turned gray.
There are many people who like to take risks, but there are few people who like to take risks.
"Stop the Marquis of Pingyang and the princess at the gate of the outer palace, you are rebeling. Now I will give you a slight punishment first. When it is clear to your majesty, I will definitely kill you.
With the etiquette system, a marquis can walk freely in the outer palace.
After saying this, Fan Xiaojin kicked all the gatekeepers aside, then returned to Xiao Lin and pulled the horse to move forward.
Even if the goalkeeper doesn't recognize Xiao Lin, he must recognize Fan Xiaojin. If he dares to stop Fan Xiaojin, he must have been instructed by someone.
However, when he was injured, no one paid attention to him.
After entering the palace, the group did not encounter any trouble on the next road.
At the door of the inner palace, Fan Xiaojin first asked Xiaolin where he wanted to go, and then let the bodyguard of the gate go in to report.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, the bodyguard who went in to inform came out and told Xiao Lin that Li Linchang and the imperial concubine Tang Yuli both said that it was too late and asked them to go back first.
"They are really my good uncles! Good grandma!"
A touch of gloomy flashed in Xiao Lin's eyes, and his face was flat and he let Fan Xiaojin turn around.
Out of the palace, an inner palace guard caught up with them and passed on Li Linchang's order to let Fan Xiaojin enter the palace.
Fan Xiaojin hesitated for a moment and made his 200 armored cavalry leave with Xiao Lin and his party. He walked to the palace alone.
No surprise. Without Fan Xiaojin by their side, Xiao Lin and his party encountered some embarrassing things on the way to Xiao's house.
In the face of the cavalry who rushed straight to them, Xiao Lin suppressed the anger from the bottom of his heart and made the people behind him make way for them. When those who stopped to watch them laugh, Xiao Lin also thought he didn't hear it.
It was not easy to get to Xiao's mansion, but Xiao Lin found that Xiao's mansion was dilapidated.
Through the door of the house that I don't know when I fell to the ground, what first reflected in Xiao Lin's eyes was a piece of yellow hay. I don't know when the General's mansion had become a barren house.
He meditated for a moment with a gloomy face. Xiao Lin's Shilling bodyguard went in to clean, and he got off his horse and came to the edge of Li Linxiang's carriage.
"Mother, there is some chaos in the house. Let the child sort it out first. Let's wait outside first!"
Li Linxiang didn't answer and came straight out of the carriage.
After getting off the carriage, Li Linxiang walked to Xiao's house with no expression on his face.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin first went to the three people in front of Guangyuan Taoist and complained to the three people, and then quickly caught up with Li Linxiang.
If there is no one to take care of it, the gate of Xiao's house can't fall to the ground. Someone deliberately destroyed it, and the whole Xiao Mansion could not find a good place at all.
After a witch of incense, Xiao Lin followed Li Linxiang to the residence of Xiao Yu and Li Linxiang.
The house is full of cobwebs, and almost none of the decorations in the house are intact.
Li Linxiang picked up a well-deserved chair, gently brushed off the dust on it, and sat down.
"Go ahead!"
Xiao Lin originally wanted to ask Li Linxiang how many people in Mingdu would care about the past like Fan Xiaojin. Seeing that Li Linxiang was too depressed, he hesitated and left directly.
The whole Xiao Mansion was really too dilapidated. A thousand soldiers were so busy that it was completely dark, and they didn't just sort out the Xiao Mansion a little cleaner.
Xiao Lin really didn't want to rest in those smelly rooms, so he practiced swords all night in the martial arts arena.
In the morning, Xiao Lin ordered people to sell grain. After waiting for nearly an hour, the soldiers who went out to sell grain came back with some moldy food.
Needless to ask, Xiao Lin knew that someone was against him.
Although Guangyuan Taoist and others have not carefully instructed Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin is extremely talented. With the skills secretly sent by Lin Beiwen, he now also has the cultivation of long life.
Within ten days and a half months, Xiao Lin did not need to eat, but the soldiers he brought did not have such ability.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Lin had nothing to do, so he planned to meet Li Linxiang first, and then go to find a way to Fan Xiaojin.
When Xiao Lin saw Li Linxiang, Li Linxiang sat on the chair as when he left yesterday.
"Mom, haven't you slept all night?"
Li Linxiang didn't reply. She took a deep breath, stood up and said to Xiao Lin, "You go to the palace with your mother!"
Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment and nodded gently.
Only 20 bodyguards were brought. Xiao Lin and Li Linxiang sat in the carriage and went from Xiao's house to the palace.
It was blocked for half an hour at the gate of the outer palace and half an hour at the gate of the inner palace. When Xiao Lin and Li Linxiang got Tang Yuli's permission to enter the inner palace, it was already past noon.
In front of Yuxiu Palace, Xiao Lin and Li Linxiang were blocked again.
When the two and others were informed, a young man and woman came out of the Yuxiu Palace.
The man is dressed in purple, handsome and noble. Obviously, he is not an ordinary person; the woman is dressed in a white dress, with a light smile on her delicate face. When she walks, her posture is like a fairy.
When they saw Xiao Lin and Li Linxiang, they stopped and looked up and down. However, after a moment, they did not ask who they were, so they talked and laughed and left.
"Mom, who are they?"
"Look at the appearance, that girl should be Bai Fenglai, the daughter of Bai Taixue."
"Bai Feng, the most talented woman in the world?"
Xiao Lin looked back and whispered to Li Linxiang, "That girl is Bai Fenglai, and the young man should be Qingqi."
"It should be!"
"If the mother can guess their identity, they should also be able to guess the identity of the mother and the child!"
Hearing this, Li Linxiang shook her head gently. She didn't know whether she was saying that Li Qingqi didn't guess their identity or signaling Xiao Lin not to talk nonsense.
After a while, a 27- or 18-year-old maid came out and took Xiao Lin and Li Linxiang into the Yuxiu Palace.
"It has been more than ten years, and there is basically no change here."
I don't know if it's touching the scene. As he walked, such a sentence suddenly came out of Li Linxiang's mouth.
Xiao Lin opened his mouth and seemed to want to answer, but in the end he didn't say anything.
When the two followed the maid to a gorgeous pavilion, Tang Yuli was drinking tea.
Yesterday, Tang Yuli and Li Linchang turned away their mother and son, and Li Linxiang naturally had a lot of grievances.
However, now when he sees Tang Yuli, the grievances in Li Linxiang's heart suddenly disappeared.
His eyes turned red. Li Linxiang trotted to Tang Yuli's side, knelt on Tang Yuli's lap and cried.
Xiao Lin has no impression of Tang Yuli's grandmother, and it can also be said that he has no affection. When he sees Tang Yuli, he naturally has no excitement.
When Tang Yuli was beside Li Linxiang's trot, Xiao Lin's eyes were on the big round table in the middle of the pavilion.
There are more than 20 plates on the big round table, and the rare delicacies in each plate have not been moved much, and the fruit basket is also full. However, this banquet has obviously been used.
The leftover soup is cold!
A gloomy color flashed on his face. Xiao Lin took a deep breath and suppressed the idea of smashing the table in front of him.
When Xiao Lin looked at Tang Yuli carefully, Tang Yuli was holding Li Linxiang with a loving face, which reassured him a lot.
