Chapter 508: The soldiers are divided into two groups
Lin Mufu had a premonition that something was going to happen to him. The emperor said so many words to him, just to tell him that it's time for you to make a choice.
He was a little frightened, and even a little touched, because the emperor had the patience to talk to him so much.
But if he had expressed his stance at that time, he was not sure whether the emperor would tolerate him.
Because in the past twenty years, he had seen with his own eyes how many people the emperor had killed and how many tribes he had exterminated, but when he did these things, there was never any sadness or joy on the emperor's face.
He never believed that the emperor had any kind heart, even though the emperor's attitude towards him today was kind enough.
It was also because of these words that he had to think that the emperor had no real evidence.
The emperor just wanted him to stand up at this critical moment and use his words to provide real evidence.
Even though Lin Mufu has lived to this age, he is still afraid of death.
What he feared more than death was that he would not leave any descendants behind.
If he sided with the emperor, the emperor might only deal with him, but those people would definitely kill his whole family.
If he had not sided with the Emperor, those people might have killed him, after all, he knew too much.
But after all, his family will not be implicated.
Because this is a big taboo, if you really do this, it will be difficult for those people to find the next Lin Mufu to do things.
While in the imperial study, Lin Mufu thought over and over again about weighing the pros and cons, and the final choice was... let's take another look.
At this time, someone was looking at him.
Lin Ye sat on the roadside and drank a bowl of tea soup that was loved by the people here in Geling City, at least that's what Lin Ye heard.
Tea soup is not tea, or even has anything to do with tea. Tea soup is a food made from millet noodles, like porridge, but thicker and more delicate than porridge.
People here in Geling like to mix shredded pork or pickles with their tea soup, while people in the north prefer pure and sweet tea soup with only some brown sugar.
Lin Ye grew up in the north, and he was really not used to the tea soup in Geling City that contained shredded pork and coriander and added some peanuts.
But he never wastes food. Even if he doesn't like it, he will eat it cleanly.
So the vendor selling tea soup felt that this customer was really strange.
He obviously frowned after taking one bite, but he still ate bite after bite.
I couldn’t stand it any longer, so the vendor said, I also have some freshly made sauce pork buns, do you want to eat them with tea soup?
Lin Ye thought for a moment, that's fine.
So I ordered another sauced pork bun and took a bite...it was sweet, that's all, it tasted like sweet bean curd...
As a result, the vendor felt even more uncomfortable when he saw the customer. He took a mouthful of meat buns with soy sauce, frowned, took a sip of tea soup, and frowned again.
Lin Ye turned his back to the street. When Lin Mufu's carriage passed by on the street, Lin Mufu was still looking out the window.
But he did not recognize that the young man in coarse cloth was the cowardly general of the army who had just made great achievements in northern Xinjiang.
After the carriage passed by, Lin Ye didn't even turn around to take a look.
Even though he was just staring at Lin Mu Mansion.
About half an hour after the car passed by, Lin Ye finally ate a bowl of tea soup and a pork bun with soy sauce.
He was torn between vomiting and not vomiting.
Lin Ye took out his money bag and asked the hawker how much it cost. The hawker looked at Lin Ye's face and hesitated and said again and again, let's forget it...
Lin Ye said no, I still have to give as much as I should.
The vendor thought about it and decided to charge half of the price. After all, the customer was about to vomit, and it was not all his fault.
At this moment, Xumi Pianruo came over and sat down next to Lin Ye.
After the vendor saw Xumi Pianruo, he subconsciously called... Sir.
Lin Ye looked at Xumi Pianruo. Xumi Pianruo looked at Lin Ye and frowned. He asked Lin Ye, "Did you eat shit?"
Xumi Pianruo looked at the empty bowl in front of Lin Ye again, and asked, "Have you eaten one bowl?"
Lin Ye: "..."
After a while, Lin Ye pointed at Xumi Pianruo: "Give him a bowl like mine, and another pork bun with soy sauce."
At this time, Lin Ye also understood that it was not that Geling's shredded pork tea soup was not delicious, nor was it that the sweet sauced pork buns were not delicious.
Just because this guy selling food should be doing this on his first day.
Xumi Pianruo took a bite and spat.
He asked Lin Ye: "Can you eat this? My general, if you have never eaten shit, you will definitely not be able to swallow this thing."
Lin Ye just looked at him, his eyes were more or less innocent, and he felt like he wanted to kill someone.
Xumi Pianruo sighed: "I don't blame you either."
Then he pushed the bowl of tea soup forward and looked at the vendor: "Eat it. If you don't finish it, I will put you in prison."
He looked at Lin Ye and said: "It's my fault that I didn't arrange it well. They should choose someone who can really cook... However, this thing seems to be poisoned. Why can you finish it?"
Lin Ye replied seriously: "Poisoning is not so bad."
Xumi Pianruo chuckled.
He glanced in the direction where Lin Mu's carriage passed, and then said: "My people reported that after the Yu family left the city, no one really bothered them."
Lin Ye nodded, he thought of it.
Characters like the Yu family are not worthy of committing any major crimes such as massacre.
It is obviously unnecessary, but if we really kill everyone in the Yu family, it will cause even greater shock.
Xumi Pianruo said: "So the general's guess must be right. If they want to attack, they must attack someone as crucial as Lin Mufu, not a Yu family person."
Lin Ye hummed but said nothing.
Xumi Pianruo didn't give Lin Ye a hard time. He had to ask Lin Ye to say something back to him.
Because he could also see that Lin Ye was holding back vomiting.
Xumi Pianruo glanced at the hawker. The hawker was squatting there, holding a bowl, taking a bite and sighing.
Xumi Pianruo sighed, and said to Lin Ye: "Otherwise, General, give him a good beating."
Lin Ye shook his head.
Xumi Pianruo asked: "What does the general want to do to make him feel better?"
Lin Ye suppressed the nausea in one breath, then looked at the hawker and said seriously: "Give me the money."
Xumi Pianruo chuckled again.
He asked Lin Ye: "General, guess, is Lin Mu's house easy to kill or not?"
Lin Ye nodded.
Xumi Pianruo said: "I guess it's easy to kill someone like Lin Mufu. The only way to make all the forces feel at ease is that the people around him are arranged by the major forces, including guards."
"So when they wanted Lin Mufu to die, they couldn't do it any easier... However, I think they would probably make Lin Mufu's death more like an accident."
Lin Ye took another deep breath at this time and finally seemed to be feeling better.
At this point, the longest sentence he said was not to Xumi Pianruo, but to the vendor.
He said: "Why don't you compensate me a little more? I still feel a little uncomfortable."
Xumi Pianruo: "Hahahaha..."
An hour later, Lin Ye stood on the city gate tower, which was the Nanwu Gate in Geling City that amazed Lin Ye.
Standing here and overlooking the crowds coming and going in the city, you really have the illusion of an immortal overlooking the human world.
And this feeling of immortality can only be given by rights and status, so there is no need to cultivate immortality.
Lin Mu's carriage appeared again, and Xumi Pianruo stood beside Lin Ye and looked at it with a playful expression.
He said: "Aren't these people willing to wait any longer? Lin Mu's Mansion has just returned from Zhenyuan Palace, and they are going to take him outside the city to kill him."
Lu Wei, who was watching the Lin Mansion, sent a message saying that someone entered from the Lin Mansion's backyard. Not long after, Lin Mufu got on the carriage and came all the way to Nanwumen.
To be able to allow a person of Lin Mufu's status to leave the city without any delay is enough to show that he carries a lot of weight.
"Isn't it a bit obvious?"
Xumi Pianruo muttered to himself.
Lin Ye watched the carriage getting closer and closer, thinking about who this obvious plot was targeting.
Lin Mufu leaving the city like this will obviously attract the attention of all parties.
Especially the people on the Emperor's side will follow immediately.
"I think something is going to happen."
Xumi Pianruo muttered to himself again.
Lin Ye looked at him, the meaning in his eyes was...if you fart, let it go.
Xumi Pianruo looked at Lin Ye: "How about we choose one?"
Lin Ye nodded: "Okay."
Xumi Pianruo asked: "What does the general think is a fair selection?"
Lin Ye replied: "Choose the strong one, and the weak one choose the rest."
Xumi Pianruo: "..."
Lin Ye turned around and walked to the other side of the city gate. While they were talking, the carriage had already left the city.
There were guards on the front and back of the carriage, and he looked like a very capable person. With his status as Lin Mufu, his guard strength was naturally not low.
"you go."
After Lin Ye said these two words, he turned around and walked towards the city. Xumi Pianruo sighed: "The general is so loyal. He will not go anywhere where there is danger."
Lin Ye: "Thank you for the compliment."
Xumi Pianruo: "If I dare to scold you directly, how can I still beat around the bush like this?"
Lin Ye had already gone to the city without even looking back.
Xumi Pianruo looked at Lin Ye's back and said in her heart that His Majesty really liked the one with a thick face and a black heart.
But he didn't dare to say this clearly...
After all, so is His Majesty.
Xumi Pianruo looked at his men: "Change clothes."
His men immediately took out the prepared clothes, and a group of people changed into ordinary people's clothes on the city wall.
After they got off the city, the law guards who had been waiting outside the city gate had already parked their carriage at the city gate.
Xumi Pianruo gave an order to keep a sufficient distance from the carriage of Lin Mufu in front, so as not to catch up or be thrown away.
Lin Mu's Mansion just met His Majesty, and now there are only two possibilities for leaving the city in a hurry.
First, he deliberately lured the people who were staring at him to show up, and used practical actions to show loyalty to the people behind him.
Secondly, some people are eager to know what His Majesty said to him.
But it is absolutely impossible to invite Lin Mufu out so obviously and then find an opportunity to kill him outside the city.
This is indeed a pit, but it is more like a pit dug for Xumi Pianruo.
Xumi Pianruo saw it, and so did Lin Ye, so he pushed Xumi Pianruo.
"Sir, will they jump over the wall in a hurry?"
One of Xumi Pianruo's subordinates asked him, with some worry in his tone.
Xumi Pianruo said: "Don't worry."
When the subordinates heard him say don't worry, they would indeed feel a little more relieved.
But Xumi Pianruo followed up by saying, "If they jump over the wall in a hurry, the one who can run is definitely not you. I can run faster than you."
He looked calm, because he knew very well that General Lin Ye asked him to go outside the city, so how could he really push him to a dangerous place?
If someone wants to lure him out of the city, then he should go out of the city.
At this moment, Lin Ye had arrived outside Lin Mu's house.
At this moment, it is the time when the sun is highest and brightest at noon.
Perhaps in everyone's perception, nothing dark should happen at such a moment. After all, the sun is so bright and bright, and darkness should be retreated.
When Lin Ye walked to the door, he looked up at the courtyard wall. It was very high, but with his strength, it was certainly not difficult to jump over the courtyard wall.
So he took a breath and kicked open the door of Lin Mansion.
