Chapter 006 Seven Days

When Lin Zimo learned that the person was the housekeeper, he did not show great anger, and did not scold words such as 'What are you, what are you qualified to talk to me, go back and call your master'. As a modern thinker, the concept of class is still relatively weak, and there will be no strong and deep-rooted feudal hierarchy at all. My ultimate goal is that I still don't want to see this bloody battle in the city. After all, there are many disadvantages on my side. He clearly knows that these foreigners are martial arts, so it is very necessary to be appropriately tough, otherwise the other party will only think that he is weak and incompetent.

The Qiang housekeeper first agreed to Lin Zimo's request, and then hurriedly turned back. He wanted to tell his young master, and then ordered several leaders to evacuate a large number of people from the city in a regular manner to wait for orders. They only left more than 20 people to guard the Qiang teenagers in the city.

When the Qiang brigade evacuated, Lin Zimo let Chu Erlang come to his side and whispered to tell him to lead the people to keep an eye on them outside the city. If something changes, close the city gate immediately. Lin Zimo, who thinks about the worst, should always be prepared. After all, he is worried that the two sides will not reach a mutually compromise agreement.

Lin Zimo invited the Qiang housekeeper and Qiang teenager into the government office as a gift from the guests. Lin Zimo, Zhao Wenxuan and the two of them sat in the government office. The others on both sides stood outside the door, raised their vigilance and stared angrily at each other, and their right hands never left the blade. They know that once the masters can't talk, they have to kill them.

Lin Zimo, who was sitting in the main seat, first asked the dwarf to show tea to the guests, and then looked at the Qiang teenager and said slowly, "You have fought privately in the city, which has violated the king's law. This government can read that you are young and ignorant and will not be investigated.

The unconvinced Qiang teenager wanted to stand up and say something reckless and impulsive, but was comforted by his housekeeper and negotiated instead of him: "Your thousands of families have injured my young master and the other four people. You should give us an explanation!"

Lin Zimo picked up the tea on the table, tasted a sip of tea, and did not put it down. He gave him an objective statement: "We Zhao Qianhu first advised each other and let them stop, but your young master is shameless and insisted on making trouble in Anhua City. In the end, this is what happened.

The Qiang housekeeper naturally knows the whole story and has to save some face for his young master. His tone is soft and hard: "If this happens, my young master will lose face, and my master will also feel ashamed. In case, the small one just makes a hypothesis. If the two sides really hate each other about this matter, it's really not good.

Lin Zimo, who put down the teacup in his hand, heard and said, "What do you want? You might as well say it and listen to it."

The Qiang housekeeper with his eyes turned his eyes and said with a fake smile: "Since thousands of people are brave, they will break the enmity between us in the way of martial arts. One of our clan sent to compete with him. No matter whether you win or lose, life and death are their own destiny. How about not pursuing this matter with each other in the future?

Lin Zimo's first reaction was that they would definitely send the most powerful warriors in their tribe to have a so-called battle with their adoptive brother. In essence, they want to use this to kill Zhao Wenxuan. In this way, they can both revenge and save face. There is nothing to say on my side. After all, the duel between the two sides is fair.

Lin Zimo, who was funny in his heart, knew that his adoptive brother's martial arts were unparalleled in the world, so he readily agreed and said, "Okay, just do as you want. However, for the sake of justice, you and I have invited other tribal leaders here to make a witness. We have set a time and place, and we hope your owner will be there at that time.

The confident Qiang housekeeper can propose: "Seven days later, we will hold it in Yinma River, five miles away from the city."

Lin Zimo, who had no objection, agreed to push the boat along the water. The two of them would not sit for a long time. They stood up and said goodbye, and then led their men to leave quite politely. In Lin Zimo's mind, the most reassuring thing was not Zhao Wenxuan's seven-day competition, but these hundreds of Qiang people with weapons who could enter and exit Anhua City at will.

Zhao Wenxuan, standing next to Lin Zimo, noticed that his brother was expressionless and silent, so he thought he was worried about his comfort and said, "Brother, don't worry. Seven days later, I will definitely be able to sharpen my opponent and strengthen my Han army.

"I'm not worried about you! I'm afraid your Qiang opponent will only live for these seven days. Lin Zimo, who smiled faintly, said, "What I'm most worried about is the security in Anhua City and the safety outside our city. Today, the arrival of these hundreds of people is a reminder to us. It is still necessary to strengthen urban defense. You can speed up the recruitment of soldiers to prevent unpredictable events in the future.

Zhao Wenxuan, who knew the important thing, felt that this matter was indeed a hidden danger, so he did not wait long and hurried back to step up the handling of military affairs and making relevant arrangements. Although the establishment of thousands of households was not full, he still took out his four hundred households and led 30 people to the east, north and south sides of Anhua City to garrison. His main purpose is to let them play an early warning and forebo. I know that although these foreign tribes did not launch the banner of rebellion against the court like the rebels in Guangxi, their hearts are not willing to submit to the Ming court.

Lin Zimo, who sent his brother-in-law away, did not return to his government office, but went directly to the back hall. I believe that the previous movement is so big that there will inevitably be a wind. As the head of the family, he has to go in to see the situation in his backyard. As soon as he stepped into the threshold of the back hall, he could see the unquenchable horror from the face of his servant. He didn't have to ask, and he knew what they were afraid of just now. After all, life and death were hanging on the line.

There was no time to appease Lin Zimo. He went straight into the north room and saw Yang Mengqi holding Chu Hanlu tightly in his arms, and the two of them stood around picking the moon, picking lotus and picking stars. The three maids learned from their eldest lady, holding a pair of scissors tightly in their hands. They want to use this to fight against the enemy, and they can also use it for self-cutting. Lin Zimo was both funny and ashamed to see their nervous expressions. After all, he did not give them the most basic sense of security.

Yang Mengqi, who had always been calm, saw his father-in-law coming in and realized that the crisis had been resolved and said, "It's okay. Picking the moon, picking stars, picking lotus, all three of you go out! Go to your own affairs."

The three big maids were relieved. As soon as they withdrew, they saw Chu Hanlu say bluntly, "Brother Zimo, I'm scared to death."

"I'm very sorry to let you live a good life with me for a few days, and most of the days are full of fear." Lin Zimo, who felt guilty about them, approached his wife and concubine, and his left and right hands hugged each other.

"Fare, don't say that. Since we are your women, we should enjoy happiness and suffer with you. Yang Mengqi, who snuggled in his arms, was understanding.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zimo said seriously, "It's not peaceful here. For the sake of your safety, it is best to send you to Beijing. Yang Yu and Xu Zhiyuan have been there for many days. They should be familiar with the environment and can make arrangements for you.

Chu Hanlu said stubbornly, "No, they don't go back there and have to stay with Brother Zi Mo all the time."

"The slave family will not leave here. Even if you drive me away, I won't leave. Yang Mengqi is stubborn.

Lin Zimo advised each other and said his views on the situation here: "You have to be obedient to me. Only when you two are safe can you feel at ease as a husband. In my opinion, there will be a war here sooner or later. While these foreigners are unwilling to stop, the court must have had the idea of eliminating them for a long time.

Chu Hanlu, who buried her face in his arms, suddenly cried and said, "They just don't leave, and they don't leave even if they die. Brother Zimo, I really don't want me anymore. I will hang myself here. Anyway, people want to fulfill their promise that life is your man and death is your ghost.

Lin Zimo thought Yang Mengqi understood the reason, but she cried with the little girl and said, "Even if we die, we will die together. Even if the father-in-law divorces from the slave family, it won't work.

Originally, the room was good, but it caused them to cry, which made Lin Zimo have to apologize to his wife and concubine. In my previous life, I didn't understand modern women. Nowadays, he also can't figure out ancient women.

Lin Zimo, who couldn't see women cry, had to coax them and completely compromise: "I'm just a suggestion. I don't mean to force you to leave. Since you don't want to leave, don't say anything about it.

Yang Mengqi laughed and said, "This is your promise to live in the same bed with the slave family and die in the same cave. I'm going to the capital alone, just to break our vow under the moon together.

Chu Hanlu looked at him with tears in his eyes and pouted to protest, "Brother Zimo and his sister have the promise of vows, so you have to be talented with others. My sister is your woman, and I am also your woman."

Lin Zimo, who couldn't laugh or cry, not only felt that this was a life-and-death separation, but also felt a smell of acetic acid between women. In accordance with the principle of a bowl of water, "Okay, I promise you. Tonight, we will also take a vow to the month.

Chu Hanlu smiled sweetly and put his arms around his waist and said, "People know that Brother Zi Mo loves me the most."
