"Will he let him go?" Du Anchen almost choked on his drink and looked at Song Yu with some confusion.
Song Yu spread his hands: "If I try to sneak away, he will definitely not let me, but if I don't want to give up my job in the Safety Department and want to see more, and ask my uncle to help me, he should agree."
Because Song Chengwei is not dead yet, Lin Ting still needs to stabilize and win over Song Yu. As long as Song Yu's whereabouts are still within his control, he will not completely control his freedom.
Song Yu thought for a while and added: "If nothing else happens, we will have a lot more helpers on this trip." Of course, whether they are helpers or people monitoring him depends on how he views this matter.
Xie Nanshi didn't speak until he heard this and asked: "When will we set off?"
"If I leave now, he will think that I want to run away." Song Yu was also helpless, but he didn't want to suffer alone. He rolled his eyes and simply ran out of the room to find the cheap guy.
My uncle went to discuss it.
…
"No, it's too dangerous."
Lin Ting's face that was always gentle towards Song Yu suddenly became extremely tense after hearing Song Yu's request: "Yu'er, don't blame uncle for being blunt. You were born unable to practice.
I put you in the Safety Department just to take care of your safety."
Lin Ting Ting spoke with sincerity and sincerity. Song Yu also managed to maintain his humility and did not quarrel with his uncle who had ulterior motives. He nodded obediently and said, "Of course my uncle is doing it for my own good. I know it."
.But people can’t just live like this all their lives, what’s the point of not pursuing anything?”
Song Yu's words were full of force, and the volume was louder than usual. Lin Ting was choked by Song Yu, and just as he was about to speak, Song Yu began to speak again.
"After much thought, I still can't abandon my job and ignore it. Especially as the young master of Tianyong City, I can't do such a thing. Otherwise, it will be a big disgrace to my uncle and father.
Uncle, do you think so?"
Song Yu's eyes were clear and his face was full of sincerity. Lin Ting seemed to be really moved by the nephew he had seen since childhood. He nodded: "It's great that you have such thoughts. But the situation is different now.
, the capital needs you even more."
If Song Yu hadn't known that he, a young city lord, was actually useless, he might have really believed in Lin Ting, a great dramatist. At least when it came to "doing good for Song Yu", his emotional balance was still more inclined to Song Chengwei.
As for Lin Ting... if he wants to make use of himself, there is no place where he can't use him.
When Lin heard that Song Yu had stopped speaking, he didn't feel that he had convinced the other party. But why did his nephew's eyes suddenly become... greedy?
"Uncle, just because I am the young city lord, I really want to do something big now." Song Yu pretended to be worried: "The purpose is to prove to my confused father, the city lord, that I am not the one who should be
The trash that was kicked out of the house.”
Lin Ting was a little confused by Song Yu's part, but he did not jump out to object directly. Originally, his position was that the more discord between the Song family and his son, the greater the opportunity he would take advantage of.
Immediately afterwards, the eldest nephew who had been sighing just now suddenly stopped and entered an impassioned stage: "A man is born in heaven and earth. Even if he cannot practice cultivation, he can still make his way into the world. Uncle, do you think I am right?
?”
Lin Ting nodded. He had no reason to deny Song Yu.
So immediately after, Song Yu said: "As the saying goes, don't bully young people into poverty. What's more, I have a good uncle."
Lin understood. Although he knew that Song Yu seemed to have made a lot of progress after leaving the capital, the foundation of Song Yu was there. If he had been useful from the beginning, Song Chengwei would not have driven people out of the capital.
.For such a nephew, Lin Ting was still willing to use some small sweeteners to buy him off: "What, is it because we don't have enough money?"
Song Yu put on a playful smile.
Just when Lin Ting wanted Song Yu to say the number, he suddenly froze. He hesitated for a long time and asked in a tentative tone: "Where was the ten thousand taels of gold you had when you went to Qinghe Town? Did you use it up so quickly?
"
That's a full ten thousand taels, and it's all gone now? What kind of top-notch prodigal is this?
Song Yu confidently said: "I spent those ten thousand taels to promote the local development of Qinghe Town! Uncle, you sent someone to inquire. Qinghe Town has already invested in a vigorous production movement. It is all the investment of my nephew. It is only the return on investment.
The cycle is relatively long, and for the revitalization of a town, ten thousand taels of gold is really too little. I am short of money, so I can only ask my uncle for help."
As the commander of the Security Department, Lin Ting had naturally heard about Song Yu's active performance in Qinghe Town. These words made sense, but intuitively he still felt that something was not right. In the end, Lin Ting hesitated for a long time.
Still nodded: "I understand. Uncle will prepare some pocket money for you."
"Pocket money is not enough. Since we are going to do something big, it can't be smaller than the revitalization of a town." Song Yu said firmly, "Uncle, the Baizhao Rebellion has proved that the world's situation is about to change. We
We must prepare early.”
? Why did this sound unusual? But Lin Ting remained calm: "What preparations do you want to make?"
"The simplest and most direct way is to recruit private soldiers. At the same time, Bai Zhao can capture monsters for their use. Naturally, we Tianyong will not be so despicable, but we must also find a way to prevent this. The less one of our own people dies, the better."
Song Yu's words were extremely reasonable, but the more Lin Ting listened, the more wrong he became: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I want to find Guixu." Song Yu summarized the central idea in six words, and before Lin Ting could refute, he had already assigned a task to the other party: "Uncle, I want to borrow one hundred thousand taels of gold to recruit capable people. Prove that I
Even if you are unable to practice, you can still come in handy against strange ghosts and beasts. I remember that there is a demon cave outside the city, which is under the responsibility of the Department of Peace. I think I have to ask my uncle to let me go."
Lin Ting's face was already ugly at this time: "How can this be done? The demon cave is so dangerous. Tianyong has to send thousands of people to guard it nearby every year, and all the sects have elders to help out, so that we can barely guarantee the safety inside.
Ghosts will not invade inward. Even if there are nearly a hundred casualties every month, you still want to go in and take a look? If you have any chance..."
So what should Lin Ting do with his big plan?
What's more, it's not an ordinary demon cave. Lin Ting naturally knows what's strange there, and he doesn't want to let the biggest bargaining chip in his hand be lost in it.
Song Yu pretended not to understand Lin Ting's subtext, and still said seriously: "It is precisely because the demon cave is dangerous that I have to go. Uncle, it is not a secret among Tianyong's dignitaries that I cannot practice, and I
My father is a great practitioner who is one of the best in cultivation. Therefore, the doubts directed at me are more about whether I have the ability to inherit my father's mantle. In fact, even my useless second brother and third sister.
I don’t think I can do it.”
Lin Ting deeply agreed. He held Song Yu in his hand, wasn't it because he was the legitimate eldest son, but he had no ability or popularity and could only rely on himself. Song Yu's positioning of himself was so clear that Lin Ting was even moved.
.
Lin Ting patted Song Yu on the shoulder with great relief: "The abilities required to govern the world are different. You don't have to care too much about other people's opinions."
Song Yu was also very moved and shook Lin Ting's hand and said, "If I was just a child from an ordinary landlord's family, I wouldn't care. But in the future Tianyong will be handed over to me. If
People in the world think that my reputation is not justified, and that means the world is in turmoil. Uncle, you and I have to work hard for the world, how can we let this happen?"
The more Lin Ting listened, the more wrong he became, and his face turned two shades darker. But now that the words were said, Lin Ting's refutation seemed particularly unnatural. But Lin Ting still didn't want to give up: "There's no need to personally take risks.
.”
"It's precisely because everyone thinks that I don't need to personally take risks, that's why I have to go there in person." These excuses Lin Ting gave are not enough in Song Dynasty, "It's precisely because everyone has high expectations for me.
Low, once I achieve good results that no one expected, many of the doubts I should have will disappear. Whether this matter will succeed or not depends on how much my uncle is willing to help me."
Although Lin Ting couldn't understand Song Yu's various strange words, he still understood the general meaning and his breathing became much smoother.
After all, it is impossible to give one hundred thousand taels of gold to the Song Dynasty, but what is the purpose of the Song Dynasty asking for money? It is people. It is said to be a demon cave, but it is actually a Guixu fissure. Since the place has been suppressed by the Peace Department, a team of
It is not difficult to send people to Song Yu for help. With his own people following him, Song Yu will just go to the edge of the rift and walk around, and will not really go deep into it. What dangers can there be?
As for Song Yu's dedication to persuading others, he may have done so. Anyway, those who entered the rift were all his people, and Lin would have the final say on what happened.
In fact, this is fine. After all, the leader of the Song Dynasty should still have some reputation to convince the public, and this reputation was created by him. This alone is enough to firmly control the Song Dynasty.
After thinking about these joints, Lin Ting was still a little hesitant, but he was no longer as resistant as before. He pondered for a long time and sighed: "Yu'er has been practicing outside for a long time, and he has indeed grown up a lot. Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you.
Uncle will take care of it. As long as you promise uncle, don't show off."
"It's natural. How could I die in a place like that." Song Yu smiled playfully, thinking that with his family leader Jie Xiaodao here, he didn't need to show off any force: "It's just uncle, I want to do this as soon as possible."
"Oh? How fast?"
"Tomorrow?" Song Yu asked tentatively. He was afraid that if the delay continued for a while, Xie Nanshi wouldn't be able to wait any longer.
Lin Ting just thought about it, nodded and said: "Time is too tight and it is difficult for me to mobilize my manpower. In this way, you give uncle one more day, and I will follow you to count the manpower tomorrow night."
