Seeing that his sister had seriously injured the enemy, Lin Ze'an also rushed into the circle holding a Miao knife. He cut off the knife in the hand of the man in black with a swing of his knife and killed the man on the spot.
The guards around Lao Shangshu were not just for a living, so they immediately cooperated with the young master and young lady to surround the enemy.
Lianyi nodded with satisfaction and said to the old minister who was watching the battle nervously:
"Father, don't worry, both children have sense of propriety. This time, one is training them. Good opportunity. After this disaster, their future will be smoother."
"You are right, Yaozu was spoiled by us in the first place and lost his blood, which is why he fell into this situation. Such an outcome.”
The old minister knew very well that because he was the only son, he, like his wife, subconsciously protected people under his wings. As a result, his son was less responsible. If it had not been appointed by His Majesty, his son would probably have died. Live under your own wings all your life.
But the daughter-in-law has done a very good job. She is also an only child. She can let her child go out to practice after the crowning ceremony. Now when something happens, she knows how to rush in front to protect her relatives, even her delicate little granddaughter. He can even use his whip to injure the enemy.
"Lianyi, you have taught the children well."
What the old minister said is sincere.
“This is also indispensable for my father’s support.”
Lianyi said modestly.
Suddenly Ripple's ears moved, and she heard the sound of breaking through the sky, and the target was her and Lao Shangshu.
"Grandpa, mother!"
Lin Ze'an turned sideways to avoid the knife, and then saw that the man in black was just making a feint, targeting his grandfather and mother standing in front of the study door. The moment he raised his hand, three consecutive sleeve arrows were shot from the cuffs. The arrows flashed with green light, and one could tell at a glance that they were poisoned.
With a twist of his wrist, Lianyi caught Duoduo in his hand. Without her giving orders, Duoduo grew automatically. The rhizome lengthened and turned into a long green whip. It quickly rushed out and caught the three of them. A poisonous arrow.
"An'an, Ningning, get out of the way!"
Lianyi raised his voice.
The two of them dodge with a tacit understanding. Ripple shook Duoduo in his hand, and the three poisonous arrows were sent back. Immediately, three men in black were hit by the arrows and fell to the ground. They died within a moment.
“Be careful with their sleeve arrows, they are quenched with poison.”
Lianyi flicked her wrist and took Duoduo back, and at the same time reminded the two children and the guards in the mansion who were killing the enemy.
"Don't worry, mother!"
"Got it, mother!"
The two responded, fighting more and more carefully.
Due to successive injuries, all the remaining men in black were eliminated in less than a stick of incense. The one captured alive simply bit the poison pill hidden in his teeth and committed suicide.
The backyard suddenly became very quiet. Ripple listened for a while, but there was still a sound of rushing outside.
"Mei Zhi."
Ripples called out.
"Madam, I'm here."
Mei Zhi stood up immediately with a pale face, her voice was trembling a little as she spoke, she could see the danger just now.
"Go and call the maids and servants back and prepare some food. You will keep an eye on it yourself and let everyone eat. We have to hold on until dawn. The result depends on the prince's ability."
"Madam, do you want to clean up this yard?"
The guard leader asked respectfully, holding a bloody knife. "Just clean up our yard. There is no need to clean up other places. This will create the illusion that the man in black has succeeded, so as not to attract more enemies."
Lianyi finished. He looked at Lao Shangshu.
“Listen to the young lady.”
The old minister nodded.
Then everything went on in an orderly manner, the servants silently did what they were doing, and everyone kept their eyes open until dawn.
After dawn, the death knell rang in the palace, heralding the death of the old emperor. Then fast horses ran around in the imperial city, notifying all officials of fifth rank and above to enter the palace to discuss matters.
Lao Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief. At least the Lin family was saved.
"Lianyi, I will go to the palace to check the situation first. If it is the prince, I will retire and return to my hometown. You will take care of the palace and be ready to go at any time."
Lao Shangshu thought a lot and made two preparations.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law will prepare as soon as possible."
After sending off the old minister, Lianyi began to prepare, but she was not too worried. The prince had a good fortune for the country, so he should not will be solved so easily.
Sure enough, two hours later, the old minister's confidant came to send a message, saying that the prince had succeeded to the throne, and asked her to cooperate with the Military and Horse Department to deal with the body of the man in black, and wait for the old minister to come back to talk about the rest.
Lianyi gave the order again, leading his subordinates to deal with the people from the Imperial City's Army and Horses Department, and restore the entire Shangshu Mansion to its previous appearance.
It was not until noon the next day that the old minister came back. The first thing he did was to call his grandson to the study.
Lianyi also found out later that the prince had been on guard against his younger brothers for a long time. The old emperor had secretly handed over the royal guards and royal guards to the prince, giving him the strength to fight against them.
The prince did not expect that his brothers would be so vicious. They made plans to succeed or become benevolent if they failed. They attacked and killed many officials' mansions in the imperial city, and there were almost no casualties like Shangshu's Mansion. No, most of them were from families of military officers. Civil servants were unlucky and a large number of them died.
This will free up many official positions, which need to be supplemented. Now is not the time for official assessment. Even if local officials want to be transferred to the imperial city, it will take time, not to mention the assessment. , and there must be a suitable successor.
In the end, the new emperor decided to hire Enke, and there was a high probability that Enke would be retained in the capital this time. With such a good opportunity, the old minister naturally wanted his grandson to seize it.
Lianyi agreed with Lao Shangshu's decision. In her opinion, if her son was capable of both literary and martial arts, he could take any path.
The matter was decided happily, and Lin Ze'an began to prepare for the Enke exam one month later.
Because Lin Ze'an has a solid foundation and has experience in studying abroad, he stood out in this Enke and was directly put into the staff department. I don't know how many people were jealous. This is linked to the official assessment. In the future, it will really The future is promising.
Anding Hou also suffered in this disaster. Only Mrs. Hou died, and several of his son's concubines died unjustly. A lot of slaves died, but the principal was fine, which can be regarded as Good luck.
And Marquis Anding made a decisive decision that night and took his eldest son into the palace to protect him, thus saving his title. At least this time when it passed to his eldest son, he would not have to downgrade his title. This was also a reward from the prince for protecting him.
The new emperor hired new people, vigorously developed commerce, built roads, and promoted Confucianism, making the Great World prosperous, and step by step annexed all the surrounding small countries that were eager to expand the territory of the Great World.
Lianyi chose a good marriage for her children, rejected the Anding Houfu’s decision to get married, and completely broke up with the Anding Houfu. After the death of the old minister, she took the He took the position of the old feudal lord.
But as she grew older, she became more and more reluctant to go out and socialize. She left all the human relations in the Lin family to her daughter-in-law. After she also had her grandson, Ripple returned to time and space. Authority.
The grass on the grave of the original owner’s sister is several inches taller. Ripple has successfully fulfilled the original owner’s wish, and still gets merit this time.
Mainly because she saved the prince, prevented the world from falling into a war-torn situation, and saved many people's lives, so when Lianyi saw Shijiu again, the corners of his lips did not drop. Pass.
