Wrong touch

Staff general? What is the position of General Staff Officer? Lin Wanrong hesitated for a while and said: "To be honest, Mr. Xu, this battle will cost people. I am naturally timid and afraid of death. How can I go on the battlefield?"

 Xu Wei laughed loudly and said: "Brother Lin is really straightforward. To tell you the truth, I am actually afraid of death. But this time we have an absolute advantage in killing Bai Lian, and you are the staff general, so you don't have to fight in person. Just plan in the army. In addition, I will send the high chief to guard you at all times, so just go ahead, little brother."

 He has seen the skills of the high chief, the emperor's personal bodyguard, how can his skills be any worse? In this way, it can be regarded as an emperor-like enjoyment. This old man Xu Wei is quite willing to spend his money. Lin Wanrong pretended to be reserved and said: "Mr. Xu, you have many talented people in your army, but why do you keep dragging me along? I have never been on the battlefield. I feel scared when I see a big blade, and I feel dizzy when I see blood. I'm afraid I won't be able to help if I go there."

 Xu Wei shook his head and said seriously: "Little brother, you are too modest. I have seen your abilities with my own eyes. You are capable of astronomy, geography, physics, and everything. I admire you very much. What can you do even if you have never been on the battlefield? Military Which lieutenant general has not come here from the first time? At present, although the old man has good soldiers and generals, he has no counselors. With the strength of the old man alone, no matter how hard he tries, he may not be able to take care of everything, so he specially Please, little brother, be my general on the staff and advise me."

 After hearing what he said, Lin Wanrong felt much more at ease. There was no danger, and it was really exciting to be able to experience the battlefield in person. But this is about life. But he couldn't be careless. He thought for a while and then said: "Mr. Xu, how many soldiers and horses do you have now?"

 Xu Wei stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of him. Smirk.

 "Five hundred thousand?" Lin Wanrong was startled. Oh my god, this scale is so big. I can flood Jinling City just by peeing a few times.

 Xu Wei almost fainted and hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, it's 50,000 people. 40,000 people in the foot camp, 10,000 in the cavalry camp, and 5,000 in the divine machine camp."

 fifty thousand? Lin Wanrong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt a little embarrassed because he had read too many novels. It would be a million-level battle at every turn. It would take 500,000 people to wipe out one White Lotus Sect. Isn't that ridiculous? But the old man stretched out five fingers to show off, and everyone who saw it would think it was half a million.

 "How many troops does the White Lotus Sect have?" Lin Wanrong asked again.

 Xu Wei stretched out five fingers and shook them a few times. This time Lin Wanrong was cautious and said directly: "Fifty thousand?"

 Xu Wei almost bit his tongue, he was beginning to doubt now. Was it a huge mistake to hire Lin San as staff general? This kid actually has no military knowledge at all. I am here to wipe out Bailian. If it's 50,000 versus 50,000, it's a waste of money.

 "Five thousand!" Xu Wei said with his cheeks red.

 "Only five thousand?" Lin Wanrong could hardly believe his ears. He was stunned for a moment, then said to himself: "Five thousand people, beating the ground is not enough."

 Xu Wei lost all his temper after being beaten by Lin San's two words. This was a war, and people would die, not a child's play. He sighed and said: "The White Lotus Sect is entrenched in Shandong. It is said to have tens of thousands of people, but in fact, there are only about 5,000 people who can actually fight, and they are all soldiers who have never been trained. Their fighting strength is comparable to that of my infantry and cavalry. The camps are not the same. We have 50,000 men, and the enemy has 5,000 men. If ten men fight one, we have a sure chance of victory."

 Lin Wanrong shook his head and said: "Mr. Xu, if the battle is all about numbers, then there is no need to fight, just send people to fight. The battle is fought at the right time, place, and people, and there are countless examples of battles where less wins more. Don't take it lightly."

 These two sentences sounded like a staff general. Xu Wei felt a little better and nodded: "Brother, what you said is very true. It is precisely because I am worried that my judgment will be wrong that I invite my little brother to go with me. I will walk with you." Cavalry sergeant, plus the Shenji battalion, if we can't win this battle, I won't have the shame to come back to see the elders of Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

 "Shenji Camp?" Lin Wanrong suddenly became interested: "Is there any red cannon?"

 Xu Wei nodded and said: "In addition to strong bows and crossbows, the Shenji Battalion also has ten improved red cannons. Speaking of which, for the improvement of these red cannons, I have to thank you, Brother Lin."

 "Oh? Where did this start?" Lin Wanrong immediately became excited when he heard that there was artillery support. Just as Xu Wei said, 50,000 people fight 5,000 people, and there is no way to win with this red cannon. If so, it would be better to kill him with a piece of tofu.

 "Brothers, do you still remember the Frenchman Tavone? The two people who were caught by Tao Dongcheng?" Xu Wei said.

 Nonsense, can I not remember Tavone? The old boy also promised to bring two little French beauties with him next time he goes to Dahua, and he also wants to leave the diamond business to me for exclusive management. In return, Tavone had the exclusive right to operate perfume and soap in Europe, and he also did the same in the sale of tea and silk. In this way, my third brother, Lin, can be regarded as the number one person in Eurasian trade. This maritime Silk Road was paved by me myself. Hehe, there is no reason why I should not be remembered in history.

 Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "Really, remember, that old man looks so strange, it's hard to forget. By the way, is that Tavoni still in Hai'an? Has their armored ship been repaired, and has he returned to France?"

 Xu Wei smiled and said: "Last time, my little brother asked me to find more skilled craftsmen to go to Hai'an to help the French repair their ships, so I selected a dozen capable craftsmen from the Shenji Camp to follow them to Hai'an. Don't you know? , I was shocked when I saw it. The iron-clad ships of these ghosts are indeed extremely hard and have ingenious structures, suitable for ocean voyages. The artillery on their ships is much better than our Dahua, both in accuracy and firepower. . These craftsmen stayed there for more than ten days, and then came back after thoroughly exploring the structure of the artillery, and then modified our Dahua artillery accordingly, so that its power could be equal to those of Western cannons."

 I see, I asked you to send people there just to show you the technical level of the Westerners and to promote the industrial development of Dahua Land.

 develop. It seems that I have finally gained something. Lin Wanrong nodded and asked: "Then what do you think of Western iron-clad ships?"

 Xu Wei sighed: "These craftsmen are all the elites of our Shenji Camp, but they can't do anything about the armored ship. According to their speculation, the armor on the armored ship cannot be made by a blacksmith shop, and they don't know. How did these Westerners do it?"

 Lin Wanrong sighed heavily, others are in the mechanical age, and we are still in the manual age. The gap in basic industry cannot be caught up in a day or two. This path has been pointed out to Xu Wei, and I have also done what needs to be done. Whether you feel good about it or not is entirely up to you.

 Xu Wenchang saw that Lin San's expression suddenly became depressed for some reason. Puzzled in his heart, he hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, this is a cleanup. Are you willing to help me?"

 Xu Wenchang told him such a major military secret without reservation, which showed his utmost trust in him. In this world, if there is anyone who can compete with Lin Wanrong in terms of vision, it is Xu Wei.

 That's all. Helping him means helping myself. I destroyed Bailian and cleared up the civil strife. Let Xu Wei renovate the artillery and pull it up to the north in the spring of next year. With a few blasts, the barbarians will be knocked down. With a cannon in hand, the world is worry-free, and he even beats the crap out of the barbarians and tells them to go back to their hometowns and cause trouble.

 Having made up his mind, Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, it's no problem to be your staff general. But you also know. Cheng De and I have a deep friendship. If I leave, they will come to the Xiao family to take revenge. , and my restaurant, no one is taking care of it, I'm very worried."

 Xu Wei smiled and said: "Don't worry about this. Brother Luo has thought of this a long time ago. Didn't Cheng De take the initiative to ask Ying to transfer the Jiangsu Infantry and Cavalry Battalion to the border between the two provinces? I fulfilled his wish and transferred his Soldiers and horses, let's see if he goes or not."

 They are all old foxes, Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart, Xu Wei took advantage of Cheng De's psychology and took advantage of him. If Jiangsu soldiers and horses march to the border of the two provinces, they will fall into the hands of Xu Wei's 50,000-strong army. If they do not leave Jinling, Xu Wei will be more confident in suppressing Bai Lian. At the same time, with his army on his side, Cheng De will not dare to act rashly.

 "The Xiao family and the restaurant you run will not only be guarded secretly by Brother Luo's masters, but I will also mobilize elite soldiers and generals to protect them secretly. With my army on the side, I believe Cheng De will not have the guts to openly raise troops. Little brother Don't worry." Xu Wei added.

 Xu Wenchang was so sincere that Lin Wanrong had nothing else to say. He clasped his fists and said: "Okay, since Mr. Wenchang values Lin San so much, it would be hypocritical for me to refuse again. Please tell Mr. Xu to tell Madam that I will take this job." Now, let's go over and help Mr. Xu with some odd jobs."

 Xu Wei laughed and said: "Brother Gang is willing to help me, I am very grateful. In that case, I will ask my little brother to prepare for it tomorrow, and we will set off early the next morning."

 The two agreed on a time and place to meet, and Xu Wenchang led the high chief to report to Mrs. Xiao before leaving.

 It was already dusk, and Lin Wanrong thought that he was about to go to the battlefield. He was worried and excited at the same time. He walked around in his room and couldn't rest for a moment.

 "Go and see Qiaoqiao." He said to himself. After all, this is a battlefield, and things that need to be explained need to be explained. Qiaoqiao is his unmarried wife, so there must be an explanation for everything.

 When we arrived at Shiweixian, it was already closing time. He quietly went upstairs and saw that the lights in Qiaoqiao's boudoir were bright, and the girl didn't know what she was doing.

 Tenderness arose in his heart, and warmth spread throughout his heart. He sneaked into the room and saw a woman with her back to him, concentrating on embroidering something under the oil lamp.

 Lin Wanrong chuckled, approached her as lightly as a civet cat, suddenly put his hands around her waist, and chuckled: "Dong, dear, did you miss me?"

 The woman tensed up and was about to scream when she suddenly heard his voice, her body stopped, and she trembled slightly: "Brother Lin, is that you?"

 Lin Wanrong knew something was wrong the moment he touched the woman's waist. Who is he? He is a master of touching and scratching. Once he gets it, it feels different from Qiaoqiao's. This woman's waist is delicate, smooth, and full of elasticity. It seems to be a bit thinner than Qiaoqiao's.

 Oops, no, I touched the wrong person. His mind was spinning, but he gently kneaded the woman's body a few more times with his hands, and said with a smile: "Qiaoqiao, isn't it me, eldest brother?" This was a hard-earned experience. Every man knows this method. It's called making mistakes, and there are no flaws to be found.

 The woman turned around, glanced at him quietly, and said softly: "Brother. It's me, Ning'er!"

 Lin Wanrong was so shocked that he took three steps back, looking terrified: "Miss Luo, how could it be you?"

 Seeing that he was far away from her, Luo Ning could not help but gritted her teeth and said softly: "Brother Lin, are you here to find a clever place?"

 "That's right. Oh, I'm sorry, I touched the wrong thing just now." Lin Wanrong explained slowly without even blushing.

 Luo Ning's face turned red to her neck. I didn't know where to put my hands, and I hurriedly lowered my head and didn't dare to speak.

 Girl, say it quickly. Say you are willing to let me touch you. Lin Wanrong screamed shamelessly in his heart. Luo Ning's confession last night made him a little angry, but the rumor circulating today that Miss Luo wanted to recruit a son-in-law made him feel a little cheated, and his thoughts were inevitably a little abnormal.

 In the end, Lin Wanrong was disappointed. How could Luo Ning be so thick-skinned. He lowered his head and dared not say a word. Qiaoqiao and Nizi disappeared somewhere, and for a moment, neither of them spoke. The atmosphere in the room was extremely strange.

 Lin Wanrong didn't know what to say. He saw Luo Ning holding a piece of red and silky satin in her hand, with something embroidered on it just now.

 "Miss Luo, you're doing embroidery!" Lin Wanrong thought he had found a way to open up the topic, so he smiled shyly.

 Luo Ning groaned and hurriedly hid the red satin cloth behind her back. She was already shy, but now her face was on fire and her little cheeks were red. It seems like water is dripping out.

 Lin Wanrong thought about it carefully and suddenly realized, oh, I'm really ignorant. What kind of satin is that? It's an obscene garment worn by women. No wonder the style looks so strange. I don't know whether it is a back-button or a front-button style. land.

 Now the two of them were completely at loggerheads, and they were all at this point. Lin Wanrong was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. He laughed a few times and said: "Well, Miss Luo, this kind of clothes is not conducive to the development of your body." "

 "Brother--" Luo Ning couldn't bear his coquettish words. She let out a sweet cry and hurriedly buried her head in her chest. Lin Wanrong looked around and saw her biting her silver teeth, her complexion was like fire, her snow-white neck had a touch of pink, her plump chest rose and fell sharply, and her two peaks stood atop the majestic waves, almost as if she was about to burst out of her clothes.

 "Um, Miss Luo," Lin Wanrong swallowed hard and asked, "Why are you here?"

 Luo Ning hummed softly: "I'm almost in good health today. I didn't want to stay at home alone, so I came here with Qiaoqiao. Unexpectedly, I met my eldest brother again."

 Oh, that's it. Lin Wanrong originally wanted to ask about the marriage proposal, but then he thought, I'm not asking for trouble. It's this girl chasing me. Please be a man and have some dignity.

 "Are you really well? Do you still have a fever? How are you eating?" Lin Wanrong asked.

 The red color on Luo Ning's face faded a lot. She raised her head and smiled sweetly: "It's really much better. Qiaoqiao made a lot of delicious food for me today. Brother, I will be very lucky in the future."

 Of course, there is nothing to say about Qiaoqiao's craftsmanship, but why is this girl missing? I have been here for so long and I still don't see her coming out to serve my husband. Just as he was about to ask Luo Ning, she heard Luo Ning ask: "Brother Lin, will you participate in the poetry competition?"

 Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment. I didn't ask, but this girl took the initiative to mention it. He smiled and said: "This poetry competition is a matter for you talented men and women. I am only responsible for sponsoring it. It doesn't matter whether I come or not."

 Luo Ning's face turned pale and she said, "Brother, didn't we agree on that day that you must come to participate?"

Lin Wanrong smiled. Luo Ning invited him to participate in the poetry competition that day. He once joked that even if he went, he would just eat and drink, and it would not be of much use. What's more, he didn't have much interest in this poetry competition. Lin Wanrong said helplessly: "Miss Luo, it's useless if I go. I'm not interested in these at all. It's just a joke to others."

 Luo Ning clenched her teeth and looked at him and said, "Brother, you must come, you must come, otherwise, Ning'er——" Tears welled up in her eyes, and she could say nothing.

 Is poetry competition so important? Could it be that the marriage-seeking thing is true? But I really don't understand why this girl doesn't tell me directly. Seeing Luo Ning's pitiful look, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but sigh and said: "Miss Luo, do you have something to tell me?"

 Luo Ning looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Brother, what Ning'er said to you last night is true. You must believe me."

 Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "I know. But I have some urgent matters. I will leave Jinling the day after tomorrow, and I don't know if I can come back during the poetry competition." He is now Xu Wei's staff general, and he has major military matters. I don't know how long the battle to exterminate Bailian will last, so I won't have time to attend the poetry contest.

 Luo Ning's face turned miserable when she heard this, she looked at him blankly and said, "Brother, are you leaving Jinling?"

 Lin Wanrong nodded: "Yes, there are some very important things to do."

 "Then when can you come back?" Luo Ning said softly.

 "I'm not sure about this either." Lin Wanrong hesitated. How can I say accurately about the war: "Maybe three to five days, maybe -"

 "Brother, you must come to this poetry competition -" Luo Ning cut off his words. Laila shed tears, and the clothes on her chest were already wet with tears.

 Must come? This girl is too domineering. Lin Wanrong glanced at Luo Ning helplessly, but saw that her face was filled with tears, and the tears slowly flowed down her white neck. She was indescribably pure and pitiful.

 Lin Wanrong couldn't stand it anymore. This little girl cried so much that I felt soft in my heart, that's it, that's it. The worst-case scenario is to ask Xu Wei for a leave and rush back from Shandong. Damn it, who told me to just fall into a honey trap? He despised it and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't cry. I promise you, I will come back when the time comes."

 "Really?" Luo Ning suddenly became happy. The pale face was a little rosy, and the long eyelashes were trembling, with a few bright tears, shining with an alluring luster under the dim light.

 "If I don't agree, won't I be drowned in your tears?" Lin Wanrong teased.

 Luo Ning's face turned red, and she glanced at Lin Wanrong with her big watery eyes, and said softly: "Brother Lin, you are so kind to me."

 Sweat, this is Qiaoqiao's favorite saying. When did this girl Luo Ning learn it?

 "Brother, today is the thirteenth of the winter lunar month. There are still seventeen days left before the poetry competition. You must come back then. Ning'er will be waiting for you by the Xuanwu Lake." Luo Ning counted with her fingers, her expression , not like a talented woman famous in Jinling.

 It's over, it's over, my biggest weakness has finally been exposed. If an enemy tries to trick me, I will surrender obediently. Lin Wanrong sighed helplessly, and then he saw clearly that what was being embroidered on the obscene garment in Luo Ning's hand was a pair of things that looked like birds but not birds.

 Luo Ning saw that his eyes were fixed on the obscene clothes, and she couldn't help but blush with shame. She gritted her teeth and seemed to have made a great determination. Her hands were trembling slightly. She held the obscene clothes in her hands and let him look at them. Bury your head on your chest and listen to the sound of your own heartbeat.

 "Miss Luo, did you embroider this pair of birds? They are so beautiful." Lin Wanrong opened his eyes wide and said innocently.

 "Brother Lin, this is not a bird, it is a mandarin duck, ah-" As soon as she finished speaking, she realized

 If you are fooled, how can a woman talk about mandarin ducks in front of a man? What's more, with his talent and learning, how could he not recognize Yuanyang? She was so embarrassed that she covered her red cheeks with her hands and said softly: "Brother, you are so bad——"

 Lin Wanrong chuckled. Usually what a girl means when she says this is, brother, you are so bad, I hope you can be more bad. Do you want me to be a little bit more bad? Last night it was Luo Ning playing with Qiaoqiao in Luo Ning's room, but tonight it was Luo Ning playing with Qiaoqiao in Qiaoqiao's room. It's really a cycle of heaven, retribution, retribution!

 Lin Wanrong coughed twice and said, "Well, Miss Luo, I didn't mean it. Just like I touched the wrong person just now, it was all unintentional."

 "Brother -" Luo Ning lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly: "Don't say any more frivolous words, Ning'er can't bear it, you are my enemy in life."

 Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a beat when he said this. Enemies? In my day, I was so invincible when I heard a beautiful girl say something like this. It was simply a naked tease.

 Luo Ning snorted and her head almost dropped to her ankles. Lin Wanrong smiled and was about to speak when she heard a delicate voice coming from upstairs: "Sister Ning, I've finished washing, please hand over my clothes." Give me."

 This voice is extremely familiar, it is Qiaoqiao baby. Luo stared at him and said shyly: "Sister Qiaoqiao is taking a bath upstairs, so I will give her some clothes."

 "Really?" Lin Wanrong made a lewd noise from his nose: "Don't panic, don't panic, Miss Luo, I'll go with you."

 Luo Ning's heart trembled, Su's hands shook, and she was so shocked that her clothes fell to the ground.
