422. Chapter 422 Secret Communication

Lu Lingzhi was an ambitious person since he was a child. He wanted to lead the Lu family away from the merchants who were looked down upon by others, and wanted the Lu family to become a real famous family. After he was able to start the business of the master's family, what he did was not very good. To make the family's business better, it is to find a backer who can bring him glory to the Lu family. His wholehearted support of Murong Zhan does not mean that he has not secretly cultivated his own power and confidants.

Being relegated to the border town was a blow to Lu Lingzhi, but it would not make him decadent and hopeless. He had great confidence in his ability, and he believed that Mo Rongzhan would reuse him sooner or later.

However, now he feels that he can no longer be used wholeheartedly by Murong Zhan like before, he only wants to get Yaoyao...

Yaoyao who has become a queen, can he still get it?

When Lu Lingzhi heard the news, his heart seemed to have a big hole. He kept thinking of the way Ye Zhen looked at him before he died, resenting him, hating him, and the pain and dissatisfaction of being betrayed. I can't believe it.

Those were the eyes of his midnight nightmare, every time he had a dream, it would make his heart ache, and he regretted the decision at that time all the time.

What he wants to make up for... If he gets Yaoyao, he will definitely protect and love her, and will not let anyone hurt her.

However, he still doesn't have enough power to compete with Murong Zhan. If he had the power to compete with Murong Zhan, would he be relegated to the border town and leave like a bereaved dog?

"Master, this is news from Luojing, the capital." The person behind Lu Ling brought up a wax-sealed secret letter.

Lu Lingzhi thought it was Luo Jing who wanted to tell him about Ye Yaoyao, but when he saw the contents of the letter, ecstasy flashed in his eyes, did he escape marriage? She didn't want to marry Murong Zhan, she ran away from marriage!

Before he left, he left Luo Jing in the capital. Originally, he wanted to know what happened in the capital as soon as possible, but he didn't expect Luo Jing to be able to find out the news of the escaped marriage.

"Go back!" Lu Lingzhi couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. Since Yaoyao had escaped from marriage, he was going to find her. This time, even if he took her far away from the capital, he was willing.

When Lu Lingzhi came out of the inn, his subordinates immediately brought his horse over. He jumped on the horse and left like an arrow.

...

...

Ye Zhen has been walking on the road for two days, they have been heading east, because they are afraid that Murong Zhan will be chased by others, so on the second day they took the mountain road instead of the official road.

"Girl, no one will catch up with us again." Seeing Ye Zhen turning her head to look behind, Hong Ling thought she was worried about someone chasing after her.

"Yeah." Ye Zhen nodded lightly, she didn't need to worry anymore, but where did the faint disappointment in her heart come from?

Hongying, who had been sitting quietly by the side, took a look at them. In the past two days, she had already figured out that this Hongling should be the girl's former confidant. She seemed to know the girl very well. Sometimes she knew it just by looking at the girl. What the girl wants, this should be a tacit understanding cultivated over the years, but why didn't she serve the girl by her side?

She seems to have never seen Hongling in Lu's house.

"Girl, we have a batch of goods to be sent to a city ahead, and we may have to stay there for two days." Hong Ling whispered to Ye Zhen.

Since they are pretending to be members of the caravan, they naturally have to look like a caravan, otherwise they will be easily spotted, "Then stop for two days."

"The rest of the caravan only think of you as the boss of Qianjinhang. Except for Brother Sun, the leader of the caravan, no one knows what we are going to do in Dongqing." Hong Ling said, "Brother Sun is Uncle Sun's nephew. Miss, do you still remember Uncle Sun?"

How could she not remember that she was the shopkeeper of the Qianjin Store in Jinkou City, and just like Tian Jiu and Man Qin, she was a confidant entrusted to her by her father.

"I remember that his nephew was at sea, why did he come to land?" Ye Zhen asked suspiciously.

Hongling glanced at Hongying, lowered her voice, "Uncle Sun specially arranged for him to come here for this trip to Dongqing Kingdom."

So it is! No wonder he was not surprised or curious when he saw her, Uncle Sun should have explained it before.

When it was getting dark, their caravan finally entered the city. Sun Peidong had already arranged the inn and prepared a room at No. 1 Tianzi for Ye Zhen.

The farther to the east, the colder the weather. Jin Kingdom and Dongqing Kingdom share a big river called Bailong River. When Qi Yanling developed the trade in Jinkou City, he also developed a water trade road called the Eastern Silk Road. You can go directly to the sea from the Bailong River.

If they wanted to go to Dongqing Kingdom, they had to cross the Bailong River first.

"How long will it take to get to Bailongjiang?" Ye Zhen asked.

Hongling had never been to Dongqing Kingdom, so she turned to look at Sun Peidong, "Brother Sun, how long will it take before we go to Bailongjiang?"

Sun Peidong looked out the window, "It's about three days away, if we go fast."

"Girl, there are our merchant ships at the port of Bailongjiang, we can leave as soon as we arrive." Hong Ling said to Ye Zhen with a smile, thinking she was worried that she would not be able to leave.

Ye Zhen smiled and said, "I only heard that the Bailong River is the largest river in Jin Kingdom, but I didn't expect to finally have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes."

Hong Ling walked over and opened the window, "Girl, when we leave Jin Country, it will be a new beginning."

New beginning……

"I hope so." Ye Zhen smiled lightly, and asked Hong Ling to prepare hot water for her. After two days on the road, she couldn't wash up properly.

"How's your injury?" Ye Zhen looked at Hongying who had been very taciturn these two days.

Hongying smiled and said, "It's considered cured, don't worry about your servant."

"Do you think it's strange, why did I leave the capital at this time?" Ye Zhen raised her eyes to look at Hongying, she knew that she must have many questions in her heart when she left with Hongying this time.

Hongying did have a lot of doubts in her heart, but it was not important, anyway, no matter where she went, she would always be by the girl's side.

"You heard Hong Ling call me a girl, she was the maid of the Ye family." Ye Zhen said lightly, "I am not the biological daughter of Master Lu San, and I am leaving this time to find my biological daughter." Father."

Even though Hongying had thought of countless reasons, she never thought that this would be the case. The girl...isn't the third master's daughter?

"If you follow me, you may encounter some dangers, will you be afraid?" Ye Zhen asked.

"No matter what dangers we encounter, the servants will protect the girl." Hongying said immediately.

Ye Zhen nodded and smiled, "You will know more in the future, I hope you won't let me down."

Hongying bowed to Ye Zhen, "Girl, don't worry, this servant will not."
