"Where did the chest-lining soft armor come from?" Zhang Bi asked.
Lin Linyou smiled and said: "It was stolen from Miss Ren... no, it was borrowed. Just put it back when you get back."
Miss Ren comes from a military family, so it is not unusual for her to have a treasured armor.
Lin Linyou, Zhang Ben and the others, as royal guards, usually wore soft armor of cotton or buffalo leather. They would wear gold armor during ceremonies such as paying homage; if they were going on an expedition, they would wear waist-length plain armor with fish scale leaves or long mercury-rubbed armor. Body armor and other armor.
However, except for the soft armor, all other armor must be returned to the war department afterwards and cannot be kept privately. However, the soft buffalo leather armor is not as good as the iron armor. It can withstand ordinary slashes, but it cannot protect against stabs and arrows.
So when Lin Linlong rummaged through Ren Ran's clothes and found this piece of soft armor, he put it on without hesitation.
"You don't wear a helmet when fishing, so you have to wear armor after all!" Lin Linyou said with a smile.
Li Chun was very skilled in martial arts and did not lose his accuracy underwater. The sword was fast, accurate and hit Lin Lin right in the heart. If he had been wearing soft buffalo leather armor, it would have penetrated and killed him on the spot!
Fortunately, Ren Ran had soft armor, and fortunately Lin Linyou took it out and wore it on his body - Lin Linyou's life should not have been cut off! In the dark, God bless you!
Thank God!
"You are quite clever, but you are too selfish!" Zhang Bi said.
"Brother, with your body type, you have to be able to wear it!" Lin Lin said, "If you can wear it, I will definitely let you wear it."
"It's not that I want to wear it, I mean, can't you let my little sister or Miss Rong wear it?" Zhang Bi said.
"You have already said yes, how can I give in to these two girls? To whom?" Lin Linyou approached Zhang Bi and whispered, "Brother, please don't stir up internal conflicts, okay?" Then he shouted again, like He deliberately told Yue Rong and Lin Long: "Besides, I am wearing soft armor to protect myself, isn't it also to better protect my little sister and Rong'er?"
Zhang Bi became even more displeased when he heard this: "If you protect me, you will be beaten down in a few seconds. If it weren't for me..."
"Yes! Thank you, brother. Otherwise, you are my good brother!" Lin Linyou smiled playfully, "Little sister, Rong'er, why don't you two thank Brother Zhang quickly?"
Zhang Ben said: "According to common sense, shouldn't we commit ourselves to each other? Little sister, do you think that's right?"
This spring light scared the younger sister Lin Long to death. After experiencing the ups and downs of her mood, Lin Long was still in shock at the moment. How could she have any intention of joking? He held Lin Linyou's waist and refused to let go. He raised his head and said to Lin Linyou: "Brother, can you stop talking here? Let's talk about it when we go back! I'm afraid..."
yes! There were two corpses lying on the stern of the boat, and two more were floating on the lake. How could people not be afraid? What's more, it's a girl who doesn't know much about the world and has never seen such a bloody scene?
"My little sister is right," Zhang Ben said, then turned to Lin Lin and said, "Don't be stunned, let's rock the boat!"
"What should I do with this guy?" Lin Linyou pointed at Li Chun and Li Qianhu who were unconscious on the bow of the ship. He thought that his elder brother was indeed very skilled in martial arts. He could challenge two boatmen to a thousand households alone, which was awesome!
Zhang Bi took a look and said, "I was thinking of sending it directly to Ji Gang's house as a New Year's gift to him. What do you think, dear brother?"
"I think it's okay... doesn't he still have a sealed letter?" Lin Linyou asked, "Let's take a look at what's written in the letter first, and then submit it to Ji Gang, which will be more convincing."
As he spoke, he stepped forward, pulled Li Chun's body over, and indeed took out a letter from his arms. However, it had already been soaked in water. Although it was not rotten, the writing on the envelope was blurred. He carefully opened the soft envelope. The envelope was limp, and the letter paper was also limp when unfolded, and the writing inside was all blurred into one piece.
"It's over, I can't watch it at all." Lin Linyou lamented.
"Not entirely." Zhang Bi stepped forward, gently picked up the envelope, picked up the small clay seal that had been opened, and said, "This thing is still good. Even if it is a secret letter, I think it was originally It should be rolled up in a bamboo tube and sealed with mud. This seal is just the second layer of insurance."
Lin Linyou took a closer look and saw that the clay seal was densely printed, as if there were many characters, but he didn't recognize any of them, "What characters? Small seal script?"
Zhang Ben shook his head: "I don't recognize it, but we don't have to recognize it. Just let Commander Ji guess."
"Why are you two talking about it again?" This time it was Yue Rong's turn to push her. She was kicked in the lower abdomen and soaked with water. She felt uncomfortable all over. It was really uncomfortable.
Lin Linyou and Zhang Bi woke up from a dream. Just in case, they tied Li Chun tightly to the bow. Then they ran to the stern and raised the oar with all their strength. The lake boat quickly left the center of the lake and headed for the shore. Go on the road...
The two of them shook their heads and continued chatting:
"Based on what Yu Miaolan said, Jin Chang also went to Nanshi Building that night. It seems that he went to get this secret letter?"
"It must be that Li Chun got the secret letter, opened the seal, and read the contents of the letter. He knew that besides meeting him that night, Li Rui was also waiting for someone else."
This is exactly what happened. Li Chun later forged a fake letter just to test whether anyone would steal it. If someone came to steal it, it would prove that his murder had been spied on.
After all, as a royal guard, I often spy on others, so I have to be on guard against this habit.
"Second brother, I think that before sending Li Chuntu to Ji Gang, we should have a first trial ourselves." Zhang Bi suddenly said.
"Why?"
"Don't you want to know what Li Chun took from Li Rui?"
"I don't want to." Lin Lin said, "I'm tired...haven't we caused enough trouble? Now I just want to live a happy life for a few days, and don't want to bother. This year doesn't look like a good start!"
"Perhaps knowing what Li Chun took can save you and me from more trouble in the future," Zhang Bi said.
"Brother, doesn't this look like your usual low-key style?"
Zhang Bi shook his head silently, maybe because of Zhang Fu's words asking him to pay more attention to the affairs of the court?
Second brother, you don’t know that there is a eldest brother above the eldest brother!
But the blame still has to be thrown at the second brother: "With you as a lucky general by my side, can I keep a low profile?"
…
The boat finally docked, and Li Chun's horse was still wagging its tail and eating grass leisurely. It was still not full after eating for so long, and its appetite was as big as its owner Li Chun.
The carriage was also parked, and the horse pulling the carriage was nibbling the grass obediently.
The two put down the gangplank, helped Yue Rong Linlong get off the boat and onto the carriage, dragged Li Chun off, stuffed him into the carriage, and then drove back...
Zhang Bi drove the carriage in front, while Lin Linyou escorted Li Chun to guard the two girls in the carriage. After all, the carriage was only so big that Zhang Bi couldn't squeeze in even if he wanted to squeeze in with the girls, so he had to be forced to be the coachman. .
As the carriage was moving, Lin Linyou's head popped out of the small window in front of the carriage: "Brother!"
"What are you doing?!" Zhang Ben winced and shook his back, turned around and frowned: "Scared me!"
Lin Linyou smiled sheepishly: "You said, we just took Li Chun home for interrogation so rashly, and the commanding officer knew about it, so there shouldn't be any misunderstanding, right?"
When walking on the official road, there are ears and eyes everywhere. At this time, when you call Ji Gang, you cannot and dare not call him by his name.
Zhang Bi said: "What are you afraid of? It would be better for the commander to know better. If he knows, he will wait for us. If we want to see him, it will be a matter of course. Besides, you and Miss Rong are both injured. Little sister I’m scared, why don’t we go home first?”
"That's right...Brother, I've really worked hard on you today." Lin Linyou said, and complained in a low voice: "These Shangguan officials only care about their own fame, and they don't care about the lives of our subordinates. Brother, what do you think?" Yes or no?"
"Hey, this is what officialdom is like!" Zhang Bi said.
Lin Linyou blew into Zhang Bi's ear: "Unlike me, I only feel sorry for my brother——"
"Cio..."
Zhang Bi raised his hand to hit Lin Linyou, but Lin Linyou's head retracted flexibly...
