Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 430 Goodbye Wang Shichong

"The city of Xuzhou is just ahead, sir."

On a scorching hot afternoon, Xia Lin was sitting in the carriage admiring the charm of Brother Dugu on his mobile phone, while Dugu Han next to him was sleeping on the mat like a cat. The fine hair on his forehead had already been soaked with sweat and stuck to his scalp, looking somewhat disheveled.

But it's not her fault. Xia Lin herself is in a terrible state. Although it is the beginning of autumn, the weather is still hot as fire. But it's no wonder. The typical characteristics of the northward expansion of the precipitation line are heavy precipitation and high temperature. The humidity and temperature have risen, so isn't it a sauna day?

"Oh, we're finally here." Xia Lin sighed and stuck his head out: "After entering the city, give each of the brothers 100 taels of silver and tell them to take a rest and relax."

"Okay." After receiving the news, Luo Shixin turned around excitedly and shouted, "Brothers, the commander-in-chief said that after entering the city, each of you will be given 100 taels of silver to have some fun."

The subordinates like bosses like Xia Lin the most. They give money to them at every turn, and they have no way to repay him. Anyway, they just kill whoever Xia Lin tells them to kill, and that's their way of repaying his kindness.

With a burst of cheers, even the horses under their crotches ran faster.

When they arrived at the gate of Xuzhou, Wang Shichong was standing at the door to greet them personally.

After many years, the two met again. Xia Lin and Wang Shichong could not help but have mixed emotions. The conflict in Luoyang that year had brought about earth-shaking changes in the situation in the entire Central Plains. Looking back now, they could not help but sigh.

"Master Wang, you are old."

"Hahahaha." Wang Shichong laughed loudly: "You are still young. Heroes have always emerged from youth. It is true."

After Wang Shichong finished speaking, he stopped and stared at Xia Lin for a while. Xia Lin's youthful vigor and ambition reminded Wang Shichong of himself in the past. Looking back, he had become a young man with white hair and no longer had such a vigorous spirit.

"Master Wang?"

Xia Lin called Wang Shichong back to his senses. He waved his hand and said, "Seeing you reminds me of the past. There was a time when I was just like you, dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, full of vigor and vitality."

"Haha, Lord Wang, what are you talking about? You are still as sharp as a sword, proud of the snow and frost."

Wang Shichong was very happy to hear these words: "My boy, if you could have talked to me like this back then, I would probably still be in Luoyang now."

“Hahahaha…” Xia Lin raised his head and laughed: “Then I’m afraid I’m still just a seventh-rank official.”

Wang Shichong also laughed and patted Xia Lin on the shoulder: "Master Xia, please come this way."

Xiao Douya, who was standing nearby, was shocked. Before she came, she had asked Xia Lin what she would do if Wang Shichong embarrassed her after meeting him.

At that time, Xia Lin said that Wang Shichong would not embarrass him but would entertain him warmly and treat him as an honored guest. Xiao Douya was puzzled. She asked Xia Lin why he would still welcome him with a smile when it was Xia Lin who caused Wang Shichong to live in Xuzhou.

Xia Lin said at the time: "He was not defeated by me, he was defeated because he misjudged the situation at the time. He is a great hero, a hero who can be recorded in history books. If he holds a grudge against me because of something like this, he does not deserve to be a hero."

Xiao Douya was actually expecting Xia Lin to be scolded like a grandson, but in the end, just as Xia Lin expected, the two of them seemed to be quite close.

After entering the city, Xia Lin met Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin. Qin Qiong recognized him and Luo Shixin beside him at a glance. Luo Shixin also waved to Qin Qiong from a distance.

Xia Lin turned his head and said to Luo Shixin: "Go, go find your second brother Qin."

"okay."

Luo Shixin ran towards Qin Qiong, while Wang Shichong said to Xia Lin on his horse, "Master Xia, I will welcome you first. You should take a good rest after the long journey. By the way, who is this young man beside you?"

"Master Dugu, Dugu Han."

Wang Shichong let out a long "Oh", "So it's the Dugu family master. I did have a connection with the old master, but after coming to Xuzhou, I haven't seen anyone from the Dugu family since."

This old guy is really good at playing both sides. What he meant by his words is that the Dugu family only clings to powerful people. When he was in power before, he was familiar with the Dugu family. But after he was chased to Xuzhou, the Dugu family stopped coming.

Xiao Douya smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, you are joking. It's not that the Dugu family won't come, but my Dugu family is one of the eight major families in Wei. Before Uncle Wang's identity is clear, it may be difficult to meet."

Wang Shichong snorted lightly, showing a bit of disdain, but when he turned to look at Xia Lin, his eyes were filled with admiration: "You have won the favor of the Dugu family. It seems that you may have the potential to become a local lord. The Dugu family has always treated people differently."

"No, no, no, Brother Dugu and I don't have that kind of relationship. We just have sex."

Wang Shichong almost couldn't catch his breath. He glanced at Dugu Han and Xia Lin with a deep gaze, then nodded silently: "It's good to be young, it's good to be young..."

At the welcoming banquet, Wang Shichong treated Xia Lin to the utmost luxury, and even arranged a reinforced row of Hu dancers.

This arrangement made both the host and the guests happy, and also allowed Xia Lin to meet a group of generals under his command. When the banquet was almost over, Xia Lin suddenly cleared his throat: "Lord Wang."

Wang Shichong immediately waved his hand to dismiss the singing and dancing dancers and asked someone to close the door. Then Xia Lin smiled and said, "I came to Xuzhou on the orders of His Majesty." At this point, he stood up and cleared his throat again: "Wang Shichong, you old thing, you are not honest before I die? This time I don't blame you, you cowardly dog ​​scared yourself and messed up the good situation. If there is a next time, you will be beheaded. Don't go back to the Central Plains, just stay in Xuzhou to block the main traffic arteries for me, and then I will demote you to the fourth rank, and reflect on it."

After saying this, Xia Lin spread out his hands: "Your Majesty's oral instructions have been delivered."

Wang Shichong was sitting there when he suddenly knelt down and said, "Long live the emperor!"

His voice was hoarse and tears were streaming down his face. The burden on his heart was lightened at once. He knew the meaning of guarding Xuzhou here, which was to prevent the two Lis in the north from joining together. But His Majesty's oral order meant that he had been cleaned up. From today on, Wang Shichong was no longer a traitor of the Wei Dynasty, but a governor of Xuzhou who had been demoted to Xuzhou.

At least there is no need to worry about being double-teamed by the Li family and the official family.

"Just... Lord Xia... Didn't His Majesty ask you to bring a token?"

Xia Lin rolled his eyes, then placed a white jade token on the table: "Yes."

In fact, there was no token at all. Even the oral order was made up by Xia Lin. Although all of this had been discussed with Emperor Hong Bao, Emperor Hong Bao just told Xia Lin to handle it on his own.

There was no other choice but to give the token given to him by the prince to Wang Shichong as a token of trust.

This thing cannot be faked, it is obviously a royal product. Wang Shichong burst into tears and kowtowed, saying with tears and snot that he had been blinded by the emperor and had failed to live up to the emperor's grace.

Anyway, this acting skill is really amazing.

"Then Lord Wang, it's getting late. I'll go and rest first. I'm indeed a little tired from the journey."

"Hurry, hurry, come and arrange a place for Lord Xia to stay!"

After returning to a quiet and elegant courtyard and taking a comfortable bath, Xia Lin felt alive again. At this moment, Xiao Douya also came over with a towel on his head, which meant that he had washed his hair but it was not dry yet.

"Bed and breakfast, huh?" She came over and kicked Xia Lin: "You want to ruin my reputation everywhere, huh?"

"Isn't it?" Xia Lin sat cross-legged on the bed and drank tea: "Just tell me what else you haven't done."

"That's different. That was a dirty thing you and your cousin did, but it has nothing to do with me, Dugu Han." Xiao Douya sat beside his bed: "Wang Shichong's tearful expression today, is it true or false?"

"Of course it's fake." Xia Lin shook his feet. "He is very good at pretending. If he didn't have Er Feng, he might even be able to rule the Central Plains. I tell you."

"so smart?"

"That's right, it's really amazing." Xia Lin swung his feet and looked up and down at the little bean sprout: "Eh? Have you grown taller?"

"Really?" Xiao Douya stood up and gestured: "I can't feel it."

"It seems to have grown a bit." Xia Lin nodded: "Yes, it should have grown, which is good. In a few months, your breasts will swell up."

"Bastard thing!"

Xiao Douya went up to chase him, but with all her pounce and pulling, she was caught by Xia Lin. She simply stopped struggling and lay on Xia Lin's chest without moving.

"Dead?" Xia Lin patted her waist.

"You're the one who died." Xiao Douya muttered, then sat up: "I'm a little worried. I always feel that Wang Shichong is unreliable."

"He is unreliable. But there is nothing we can do now. He will rebel eventually, but there is no reason for him to rebel now. Above him are the Shanhai Elite Cavalry, below him are the Po Lu Army, and to the west are the Xuantie Heavy Cavalry. How can he survive without a backer?" Xia Lin turned over and pushed Xiao Douya aside, leaning close to her ear and said, "Why? You are here in just a single piece of clothing. You are not here to discuss the general situation of the world, are you?"

"What else?"

"There are so many." Xia Lin pinched her chin: "Why not... have a baby?"

"Bah! Who wants to give birth to your child?"

She was tough in her words, but her face was already close to Xia Lin. No one would disturb them in this place, and she just looked young. In fact, she was only a few months younger than Xia Lin. In this era, she was old enough to be a mature big sister and a pretty little woman. There was no question of whether she understood it or not. She came here just for this matter.

"Wait a minute."

Seeing that they were about to lure the enemy in, Xiao Douya suddenly called for a stop. She grabbed Xia Lin's arm and said, "My child is considered a legitimate one! A legitimate one!!!"
