Chapter four hundred and seventy fourth down the mountain
Huang Banban, who tossed and turned in anxiety all night, got up early in the morning and asked an officer responsible for entertaining him to take him to Lin Ze.
After arriving at Lin Ze's exclusive courtyard, Huang Banban looked slightly nervous and lightly knocked on the door: "Is the military advisor up?"
After more than ten breaths, there was no movement in the hospital. Huang Banban's face became a little unnatural, and he knocked a little harder on the door, nine times in a row, waiting for a response from inside.
To Huang Banban's disappointment, there was still no movement coming from inside.
At this moment, Huang Banban couldn't help but think about it. Could it be that after careful consideration all night, the military advisor decided not to intervene in this matter and was a little scared?
Thinking of this, Huang Banban subconsciously increased his strength, knocked on the door hard, and shouted loudly: "Military advisor, you promised to go back to Chang'an with our family..."
Just after knocking twice, there was a "bang" sound, and the courtyard door opened, and an old Taoist with a skinny face wearing Taoist robes appeared at the courtyard door.
"Who are you looking for?" the old Taoist said hoarsely.
Huang Banban's face looked a little dull. Is there something wrong with the person who came out?
When the old Taoist saw no one responding, he didn't hesitate and just planned to close the courtyard door.
Only then did Huang Banban react, put his hand against the courtyard door and said, "I'm here to find Military Advisor Lin Ze."
The old Taoist suddenly realized: "It turns out that I came here to find the sect master, but he is not here."
Huang Banban asked hurriedly: "Then where did he go?"
The old Taoist glanced at him: "It's early in the morning. Of course I got up early to practice martial arts. Just wait, you should be back in half an hour at most."
After speaking, the old Taoist's arm shook slightly. Huang Banban's arm that was pressing against the courtyard door naturally slipped to the side, and he took a step back without being commanded. Then with a "clang" sound, the courtyard door closed.
"This old Taoist is a master of martial arts," Huang Banban thought in shock.
Although Huang Banban wanted to ask the old Taoist about Lin Ze's movements, it was obvious that the old Taoist did not want to say more to him. He did not want to act rashly before he knew what the relationship between the old Taoist and Lin Ze was.
In addition, Huang Banban was already wary of what the old Taoist had just shown. He was a sixth-grade warrior after all, so he was easily forced back, which showed how terrifying the old Taoist was.
Huang Banban had no choice but to lead people out of the camp, eagerly waiting for Lin Ze to come back.
…
In the Lingwei camp, more than 6,000 Lingwei were divided into six squares and stood neatly in front of Lin Ze.
Lin Ze coughed lightly and said, "Things have changed a little. I may not be able to take you away in a year."
As soon as these words came out, the entire Lingwei was sluggish for three breaths, and then they lost control on the spot.
Lingwei, who had lost hope, suddenly became confused. Some were lost, some were shouting, and some were looking at Lin Ze with a fierce look.
Lin Ze couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this, and then he started to stir up his energy and shouted wildly: "Shut up, everyone."
The sound was as loud as thunder, and many of the mausoleum guards felt their heads buzzing, as if they had been hit by a hammer.
The whole scene immediately fell into silence, and Lin Ze said with a disappointed look on his face: "Something has changed. I plan to take you away in a few days, but the way you behave, I want to change my mind now.
I suddenly don’t want to take you out anymore.”
Many of the mausoleum guards suddenly fell into panic. Even those who were about to yell curses, swallowed them back when the curses reached their throats, and looked at Lin Ze with a strange expression.
Lin Ze said with a mocking look on his face: "Look at your virtues. If you weren't of some use to me, I would have sent you to Lingnan to dig mines. You can't do such an easy job as guarding tombs."
Is it worthy?"
The mausoleum guards learned the lesson this time and didn't react at all. They just listened quietly.
Lin Ze then showed a hint of satisfaction and said to Yingbu beside him: "Go and select two hundred soldiers with good performance. We will follow my officer to Chang'an later to get acquainted with the prosperity first."
Yingbu looked excited and said: "No."
Lin Ze continued: "As for the remaining people, please wait peacefully on the mountain. I will naturally come to pick you up in a few days."
"Those who are selected, don't be happy too early. If the time is less than one year, the assessment will naturally not be completed. You can't really leave the Lingwei yet. But don't worry, after one year, I will naturally make you completely
Break away.”
"As for those who were not selected, I hope you will reflect carefully during this time when I am away. A worthless person will not receive mercy from me."
Everyone, including the Lingwei commander, had mixed expressions, both surprised and disappointed.
Surprisingly, Lin Ze was able to really get them out of the fate of guarding the tomb, but disappointingly, they couldn't escape completely yet.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Ze took the two hundred selected cavalry and headed for the camp occupied by the Shaofu.
The Lingwei who stayed behind looked at the direction in which Lin Ze and others were leaving with envious eyes, and then their eyes became more determined.
…
When Lin Ze and the Ling Guards appeared at the Shaofu camp, Huang Banban was about to jump with joy. He quickly came over and said, "The military advisor is finally back."
Lin Ze responded with a smile: "Well, I went out to do something and kept Eunuch Huang waiting for a long time."
Huang Banban shook his head quickly and said, "No, I just waited for a while. By the way, who are these people brought by the military advisor?"
Lin Ze patted his forehead and said: "I almost forgot, these people are the Lishan Mausoleum Guards. They have a special status and cannot leave Lishan. However, I think they are of some use, so I plan to help them. I will need Your Majesty to turn around.
Only if we issue an order to remove their special status."
Huang Banban said quickly: "This is easy to say. As long as the military advisor raises this matter, Your Majesty will definitely agree."
Lin Ze nodded and said, "Eunuch Huang, please wait for me for a while. I'll tell you something and then I'll set off with you."
Huang Banban naturally agreed.
Lin Ze summoned Maruo and told him that he had received His Majesty's order and had to return to Chang'an, and would not be back for a short time.
Then he orally entrusted him with everything on Lishan Mountain.
After hearing this, Marlowe had a look of envy on his face, patted his chest and responded: "Please rest assured, sir, there are officials watching over here, there will definitely be no problems."
But he was complaining in his heart: "He is indeed a person with a background. After working here for only a few days, he was taken away by an imperial edict."
After explaining the matter, Lin Ze picked up a small bag containing some unused treasures, then got on his horse and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, a thin figure appeared in front of Lin Ze. It was Dongfang He, an old Taoist in Lin Ze's yard.
When Lin Ze saw this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Why are you stopping me, Uncle Master?"
Dongfang He said slowly: "The sect master has not yet had a successor. In order to continue the inheritance of our sect, the old Taoist will naturally protect the sect master."
The bitter smile on Lin Ze's face grew stronger: "Uncle Master, if you want to follow, just follow."
It's not that Lin Ze doesn't want to persuade Dongfang He not to follow, but his many failed experiences remind him that he must never reason with a dead-brained person, it doesn't make sense at all.
This uncle, of course, followed him after being rescued by him. No matter how much he tried to persuade him, it was of no use.
Fortunately, Dongfang He was still a normal person. After getting Lin Ze's permission, he found a horse in the camp and followed Lin Ze.
Then Lin Ze took the lead and rushed to Chang'an. He hurriedly and slowly entered Chang'an City before sunset and settled in the Lin Mansion.
