Chapter 125 Domesticating the Fourth Villain (14)(1/2)
"What? Do you think even Major General Lin that my proposal is boring?"
Nangong Xu liked Lin Shi's focus on him very much, without fear, respect and calculation. These beautiful peach blossom eyes like glass beads made him want to monopolize her.
Lin Shi shook his head and asked what he urgently wanted to know: "Is the prince injured?"
Nangong Xu didn't expect that Lin Shi would suddenly ask this question, and neither did anyone else.
Everyone thought that Lin Shi, as a minister of the DPRK, had been on the battlefield all year round and was used to seeing scenes of killings, but he should stand up and advise on such matters. But it was not like he just cared about what the prince was going through.
Were there any injuries after the assassination?
After all, if the Lin family, which is currently maintaining neutrality, is interested in assisting the prince, they should know that if what happened today is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, the prince will gain a reputation as cruel and unkind.
However, everyone did not expect that Lin Shi's question would please Nangong Xu, and low laughter overflowed from Nangong Xu's lips, making everyone's hearts tremble. They intuitively felt that the moody Nangong Xu was very scary.
Someone who was gloating about someone else's misfortune looked at Lin Shi, feeling that he had angered Nangong Xu, and was waiting to see Lin Shi's joke.
There are also people with palpitations who secretly stare at Nangong Xu's legs, secretly glad that Nangong Xu is disabled, otherwise it would be so cruel to ascend to the throne in the future.
"How many people heard that I was assassinated and wished that I would die so that I could free up the position in the East Palace. It's just a pity that my life is a bit tough. I have been sitting in this position for several years. Now this is the first time that someone has
Care about me."
Nangong Xu didn't realize that he bluntly broke the illusion of harmony in the court, causing some people present to be frightened and lower their heads, wishing they could faint immediately so they could leave the place.
I was afraid that I might accidentally hear some royal secrets and be silenced.
When Lin Shi listened to Nangong Xu's self-deprecating sentence summarizing his situation, his heart felt as if something had stabbed him, and he frowned and pursed his thin lips.
"That's what hurts!"
The way Lin Shi looked at Nangong Xu made Nangong Xu confused. The other person's eyes were eager to confirm, as if his answer was very important.
The folding fan in his hand turned in a circle, and he tapped the heart on his chest with the fan handle. There was a trace of strangeness in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised: "It's just a few points away from the heart, and it will bring harm to the world for thousands of years. God is still reluctant to accept me. I don't know that I am still here."
Is General Lin satisfied with this answer?"
Lin Shi's breath was suffocated when he received the other party's answer. So, the system prompt 004 that day was referring to the person in front of him?
"What? Why is Major General Lin not happy when he heard the news?"
Lin Shi turned a deaf ear and closed his eyes to hide the emotions behind his eyes. The fists under his sleeves had already been clenched to control his strange emotions at this time.
Raising his eyes again, Lin Shi glanced past Nangong Xu and looked at where Lin Qiang and Tang Ping were standing in the field. Looking at Lin Qiang who was waiting for his order, Lin Shi stretched out his finger and gave an order that the original owner often made when marching and fighting.
action.
The next moment, Lin Qiang quickly got on his horse, raised his hands to Tang Ping, who was still standing timidly, and said, "I accept." Then he flew towards the living 'targets' like an arrow that had escaped from its string.
And go.
He drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the target with one hit. Each arrow was accurately inserted into the chest of the man in black, as if he was obeying Lin Shi's order and responding to the experience told by His Highness the Crown Prince.
Lin Qiang's operation shocked everyone, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Shi. Did the other party's move indirectly express the Lin family's position? Unswerving support for the current prince?
Will it be the sharpest arrow in the prince's hand? Wherever the prince points, is where the Lin Family Army's blade is headed?
Lin Qiang was not aware of the strangeness of the atmosphere at this moment. He just obeyed the order and killed the person. As for who he killed, he didn't need to know.
Relying on his super horse-riding shooting ability, after piercing the hearts of all the men in black who were tied up at the target, Lin Qiang rode back to Lin Shi's side.
"General, all have been killed."
"good."
Lin Shi was not stingy in treating Lin Qiang
Such praise, he is indeed worthy of being a man who followed the original owner on the battlefield, and acted without any sloppiness.
Compared to Tang Ping, who forced himself to take the stage due to the pressure of the prince, if one ignores the fact that the person being shot is actually a person, it is really pleasing to the eye.
Nangong Xu did not expect that Lin Shi would actually cooperate with him to give everyone present a shock. He originally planned that if Lin Shi refused to cooperate, he would directly let his guards go and start a bloody hunt for everyone.
Performance.
But Lin Shi's help was beyond his surprise. He didn't believe that the other party didn't understand that doing this in the presence of his two royal brothers was more than just a response to Tang Ping's initial provocation.
In the eyes of others, it is more like a kind of support.
Since the other party can do this, he naturally has to respond, such as asking for something for the other party.
"Since it's a competition, there should be a prize. Tang Ping, you lose."
"Returning to the crown prince, my skills are inferior to others. I have indeed lost. There is a good horse in the palace. I will send it to General Lin's palace the next day."
"Tang Ping, couldn't the good horse you mentioned be the blood-earned horse that you got by chance a few days ago, and which has attracted the envy of the children of the aristocratic families in the imperial city?"
When Tang Ping heard Nangong Xu mention his beloved, he immediately wanted to deny it: "Reply to the prince, and"
But since Nangong Xu proposed it, how could he give the other party a chance to regret it:
"The eldest son of the Tang family is indeed a gentleman. He is willing to admit defeat. This is really an advantage for you, General Lin, as your bodyguard."
"What's your name? You still haven't thanked the eldest son of the Tang family."
"The villain's name is Lin Qiang. I thank the eldest son of the Tang family for his love."
Lin Qiang clasped his fists at Tang Ping. The bloody aura in his body that had not yet been restrained was so frightening that Tang Ping couldn't help but take a step back. No matter how much resentment he had, it was instantly turned into nothingness.
When Nangong Xu heard Lin Qiang's name, he remembered the shadow guard's report. The person in front of him was the person who always made things difficult for his brother. It was really interesting.
Nangong Xu didn't think about finding a place for his brother and using his status to suppress others. Anyway, it was just a matter of fighting and suffering.
"Okay, the competition is over. You can play whatever you want next. Don't worry about me. I'm just here to meet my friends."
Nangong Xu said this, which further confirmed that the relationship between him and the Lin family's Major General was unusual.
Lin Shi did not refute Nangong Xu's words, but acted as if he had not heard anything. He lowered his head, turned the cup, drank tea, and his consciousness sank into the system space, asking System 004:
"Xiaosi, I think the person beside me now may be my lover."
System 004 was noncommittal about Lin Shi's words: [Master, are you sure?]
The system is suspicious of Nangong Ying, but it also doesn't know how to judge the sudden news from its master.
"I feel like I fell into a trap."
[Why did the master say this? If it was a trap, who would have the ability to set a trap for the tasker?] Upon hearing this, System 004 felt extremely nervous and asked hurriedly.
If the master's guess is true, then the advanced world is more dangerous than it imagined. What is the other party's purpose?
"The 'villain' we rescued knows my preferences, not the preferences of the original owner, but I can feel that it is not my lover, or in other words, it is just an 'imitation'."
[Master, how about I come out of the system space and try it out. 】
"You mean, you want to see if he can see you?"
In the first world, he didn't quite believe what the system said, but after the second world, he understood that what the system said was true and his lover could see the system.
He also once guessed that the other party might be a taskmaster like him. However, if he remembered correctly, System 004 was a bit timid in front of his lover. If the system had not reminded him at this time, he would have forgotten this matter.
[Yes, Master, do you want me to come out?] System 004 licked its paws in the space and said cutely.
"Don't come out now. If you come out suddenly in broad daylight, if he sees me, he might think I'm a monster and capture me to sacrifice to heaven."
【OK
, I listen to the master.]
When System 004 heard what Lin Shi said, his heart was actually ready to stir. But he suddenly woke up again. How could a person who could kill people without blinking an eye and talk so arrogantly be killed by this thing that appeared out of thin air?
The cat was frightened.
"What is Major General Lin thinking? He's here, why don't you keep an eye on your idiot cousin?"
After coming back to his senses, Lin Shi turned his head and looked at Nangong Xu, his eyes flashing with confusion and confusion. What happened to Lin Wanwan in this moment?
Looking at where the female family members were, Lin Wanwan and Tang Yanran were not at their seats. Where were they?
The corners of Nangong Xu's lips were slightly raised, and a smile appeared on his handsome face. He seemed to be in a good mood to explain Lin Shi's doubts: "After being provoked, I went to play polo in the next game. The two of me
My younger brother doesn’t know what he likes about her, but he is willing to accompany her. Two men compete for one woman, and it’s a good show.”
Lin Shi swore that at this moment, he could see gloating in the other person's eyes.
He glanced past the other party and looked at the chief position. Sure enough, the fourth prince was missing. Even the seat next to him where the second prince was sitting was empty and no one was there. When he looked down the field, he saw that the attendants were already setting up the place.
Thinking of the tasks assigned by the system, Lin Shi immediately planned to stand up, but his shoulders were held down by someone beside him. Nangong Xu came close to Lin Shi and whispered:
"What can you do now? Stop or participate?"
"You know in your heart that these two brothers of mine are determined to marry your cousin. If they stop it this time, will you be able to stop it the next time?"
"My cousin is not good at equestrian skills. I'm afraid she's in danger." Lin Shi blurted out his worries unconsciously.
"Are you worried that your cousin will break her leg like I did?" Nangong Xu patted his leg with his hand, and a dark light flashed in his eyes:
"Don't worry, these two brothers of mine will definitely ensure the safety of your cousin."
"There are always exceptions."
Lin Shi frowned and argued, looking at the people on the field who were ready for the game. Among them, Tang Ping was resolutely on the list, together with Tang Yanran.
Tang Ping's trouble just now was still fresh in his memory. Lin Shi, who was afraid that Tang Ping would take this opportunity to secretly attack Lin Wanwan, just wanted to get up and stop this dangerous polo match.
