Chapter 491 The Person Who Received the Call From Prince Lin’s Mansion

On another carriage.

The atmosphere was silent.

Li Miaomiao closed her eyes and rested her mind without any distractions.

An Ning stayed by the princess's side obediently as usual, with a cold face and said nothing.

On the other side, there is Jinxiu who is still brooding and still lingering. His face seemed to be red with anger, and he was unhappy.

After a while, she raised her head and glanced at her princess quietly. Seeing that the princess was practicing in seclusion with her eyes closed, she turned to look at An Ning and started to accuse: "Why didn't you help me just now?!"

An Ning was expressionless and did not answer Jinxiu's question.

"Why are your elbows turned out?"

"..."

"I've been bullied and you still won't help me?"

"..."

"Do you still think of me as a sister?"

"..."

Facing Jinxiu's constant accusations, An Ning finally seemed to be unable to bear it.

She also turned to look at the princess, and then denied it: "I didn't."

"You do, you do, you just didn't help me!"

"..."

Facing Jinxiu's 'unreasonable trouble', An Ning turned her head away without saying a word.

Decided to ignore her.

"Hmph, you're so An Ning, you actually followed others to bully me, I don't want to bully this sister anymore!"

An Ning couldn't help it anymore and said coldly: "You are not my sister!"

"I am."

"you are not."

"I am."

"..."

This dispute ended in no result.

In the carriage, the two people still refused to let anyone go, staring at each other.

This is not the first time the two of them have done this, and they have long been accustomed to it.

The carriage drove slowly on the official road. The road was relatively smooth and the road ahead was safe.

In the carriage, Li Miaomiao slowly opened her eyes and looked at the two sisters who were sulking in the carriage quietly, wondering what they were thinking.

"Princess!"

Jinxiu turned around and started complaining to the princess: "An Ning bullied me."

"I don't."

An Ning immediately denied it.

"she has."

Jinxiu spoke resolutely: "She just teamed up with outsiders to bully me!"

An Ning was a little angry for a moment and didn't know how to explain it, so she could only stare at Jinxiu.

Li Piaomiao looked at the two of them calmly, without saying anything more, but suddenly asked: "How is the situation in Beijing now?"

Hearing the princess mentioning business, Jinxiu and An Ning, who were still arguing, quickly calmed down.

Then, Jinxiu curled her lips and said: "Everything in the capital is relatively calm at the moment. After we leave, Princess, with Your Majesty in charge, the remaining officials and families will not be able to cause too much trouble for the time being..."

Although Li Miaomiao left the capital for Prince Lin's Mansion this time, the spy information in the capital was not cut off. Jinxiu is nominally Li Miaomiao's personal maid, but in fact she is also the assistant responsible for collecting intelligence and solving problems for the eldest princess.

"However, there have been rumors in Beijing recently..."

Li Piaomiao lowered her eyes slightly: "What rumors?"

"The Xu family in the north has been moving a lot lately, and there are rumors that the Xu family is about to make big moves..."

Li Piaomiao's expression remained unchanged: "What's your Majesty's reaction?"

"Your Majesty must have known the news, but there was no reaction..."

Jinxiu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Princess, I suspect that the Xu family's actions may have something to do with you..."

"I?"

Li Piaomiao seemed a little surprised.

Jinxiu said: "Princess, the news that you are traveling with His Highness this time has spread back to the capital, and it has also caused quite a stir in the capital... There are rumors in the capital that Princess, you have married His Highness..."

"This time I am returning to the Prince's Palace with His Royal Highness Prince Lin..."

"There are also rumors in the capital that after the princess arrives at Prince Lin's Mansion this time, she will stay in Prince Lin's Mansion and will not return to the capital..."

"There are also rumors that the imperial court has reached a secret agreement with Prince Lin's Mansion..."

When Li Miaomiao listened to the rumors mentioned by Jinxiu, her cold and beautiful face was not too troubled.

It's like none of this matters to her.

"The last thing that wants to see the imperial court and the Lin family reconcile is naturally the Xu family... Now that it is reported that our imperial court and the Lin family have reached a secret agreement, the Xu family can't sit still..."

"Once the hidden dangers in the south are gone, His Majesty will definitely start to find ways to solve the threats in the north..."

"The Xu family, most likely affected by your trip south this time, Princess, has begun to become unable to sit still..."

"..."

Leave Xunyang City and go south along the official road.

It was peaceful and peaceful along the way.

Hardly any trouble or bad eyesight!

This journey, which was supposed to be extremely dangerous, became extremely quiet and peaceful.

Quiet and even a little boring.

After four or five drowsy days on the road, everyone finally arrived at the border of Yanzhou.

"After passing the small town ahead, we officially entered the boundary of Linzhou!"

Not far away, on the carriage, Lin Jiangnian looked at the distant scenery.

The sky is clear and the wind is gentle.

Beyond the official road, the surrounding roads are rugged, full of mountain peaks and hidden jungles.

"Be careful and don't let everyone down!"

Lin Jiangnian ordered to go down.

The closer we get to this time, the less we can let down our guard.

Linzhou territory.

Above officialdom.

The jungle is spread all over, and a dozen figures appear on the edge of the official road in the distance.

More than a dozen figures in pitch-black armor were riding on horseback. The sunlight fell on the armor, reflecting sharp and cold rays of light.

A chilling atmosphere was gathered around them, covering the world.

The dozen figures standing there quietly gave people an indescribable feeling of suffocation. On the black armor, a striking word "Lin" showed the identity of these people.

"Lin Wang Jun!"

If anyone saw it, they would recognize the identity of these people at a glance.

The elite black armor in Lin Wang Jun!

They were elite cavalrymen who had swept across more than a dozen countries in southern Xinjiang and made great military achievements.

At this moment, in front of the dozen cavalrymen, there was a man sitting on horseback.

He was about thirty years old, not old, but he gave people a sharp coldness.

He sat quietly on the horseback, with a tough and serious face that made him look a little unapproachable.

Especially the serious face, which made people feel a little cold.

He raised his eyes and looked at the official road in the distance, and asked expressionlessly: "How long will it take!"

Beside him, a man in black armor said in a deep voice: "Sir, the spies ahead reported that His Royal Highness has appeared at the border of Yanzhou and will soon arrive in our Linzhou..."

The man's face still had no expression, and he continued to look not far ahead.

Not long after, a black dot suddenly appeared in the sight in the distance ahead. The black dot gradually became larger and closer.

"It's His Royal Highness's carriage!"

The low voice of the man in black armor came.

The man's eyes condensed slightly, still staring at the distance, and finally, several figures slowly appeared in the sight.

This is an inconspicuous convoy, and even the subordinates are pitifully few. In front of the carriage, there are several fierce horses leading the way.

The man's eyes fell on the young man on the tall horse.

A gray and silver brocade robe, a handsome and flamboyant face, and a pair of eyes full of confident light.

Very familiar!

The familiarity made the man's heart tremble slightly!

He condensed his eyes slightly, and regained his calmness.

When the carriages slowly approached, the man on horseback spoke first.

"I am Wu Yue, the subordinate, and I am here on the orders of the prince to meet His Highness the Crown Prince and welcome His Highness home!"

He sat on the horseback, looking straight ahead, his voice neither cold nor indifferent, neither humble nor arrogant.

He did not have too many emotions.

At the same time, on horseback, Lin Jiangnian quietly looked at the man in front of him.

He was not unfamiliar with this man.

Everyone knew that Lin Hengzhong had a brilliant military strategist and four masters with unfathomable martial arts and outstanding military exploits!

In addition to Zheng Zhiming and Dongfang Guanshan, who Lin Jiangnian had met, there was also Sun Changjing, who was stationed in the southern border, and another general whom Lin Jiangnian had never seen before.

Wu Yue!

It was the man in front of him.

Although Lin Jiangnian had never seen him, he had already memorized his appearance.

This person is very low-key. Compared with Zheng Zhiming's publicity and Dongfang Guanshan's seemingly honest and simple, this person is actually an inconspicuous existence in the Linwang army.

But since he can be appreciated by Lin Hengzhong, he is naturally not an ordinary person.

Each of the four generals under Lin Hengzhong has outstanding military exploits and their strength should not be underestimated.

Lin Jiangnian and Wu Yue did not have much intersection, and he did not expect that the person who came to pick him up this time would be him.

"I didn't expect that Lord Wu would come to greet this prince in person!"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Lin Jiangnian smiled: "Trouble Lord Wu!"

Wu Yue retracted his gaze and said indifferently: "This is what I should do."

"Is the prince okay?"

Lin Jiangnian asked.

Wu Yue looked calm and said, "Everything is fine. The prince is not in danger of death!"

"That's good."

Wu Yue's eyes were calm: "I am ordered to take your highness home safely. Please set off."

Lin Jiangnian looked calm: "Master Wu, please lead the way."

"Yes."

Wu Yue responded calmly, turned around on his horse, and looked at the dozen black-armored figures not far behind him.

"Let's go!"

With Wu Yue's light shout, more than a dozen black-armored figures got on their horses in unison, and a fierce breath surged on the official road.

Lin Jiangnian sat on the horse, half-closed his eyes, looking at the scene in front of him, without saying a word.

...

After entering the territory of Linzhou, it is completely safe! For Lin Jiangnian, he can also breathe a sigh of relief.

It will take another three or four days to reach Linjiang City. For everyone who has been traveling at high intensity during this period, this is undoubtedly good news.

In addition, most of the roads were deserted before. After entering Linzhou, there were more villages, towns, and even prosperous cities, and there was a lot of fireworks on the road.

A prosperous scene!

"Isn't this Linzhou as wild as the rumors in Beijing?"

In the carriage, Jinxiu and An Ning lifted the curtain, looked at the scenery outside the carriage, and spoke with emotion.

Before coming, I heard rumors in Beijing that the south was a barren land, with poor mountains and bad waters everywhere, and it was extremely desolate.

I also heard that the people in the south were extremely rude, unreasonable, and uncivilized barbarians, so before coming here, Jinxiu was mentally prepared to follow the princess to live a hard life.

But unexpectedly, it was beyond her expectations. The prosperity of Linzhou seems to be not much worse than that of the north.

As for the barbarians, I have never seen them.

After arriving in Linzhou, there is no need to sleep in the wild.

Wu Yue, who came to meet them, had already arranged the itinerary. Before the night fell, he arrived at the small town inn that had been prepared in advance to take a rest.

After being tired for a long time, everyone can finally rest well, take a bath, have a meal, and have a good rest for a night!

The small town is not big, but it is also very prosperous. The inn has been booked by Wu Yue. When the innkeeper saw the flag of the Lin Wang Army, he was already scared and respectful.

The whereabouts of the Lin Wang Army were not concealed, so it caused quite a stir in the city. There were many speculations about why the Lin Wang Army appeared here.

In addition, the news that the Lin Wang Ye was assassinated some time ago caused panic among the people, and various conspiracy theories emerged one after another.

Therefore, there was quite a stir!

In the lobby on the second floor of the inn.

After Lin Jiangnian took a bath and changed his clothes, he found a place to sit down after changing into clean clothes. The servants had already prepared food and served it.

While Lin Jiangnian was eating, he listened to Lin Qingqing's report on the situation.

In two days, he would arrive at Linjiang City. As he got closer to home, news about the Linwang Mansion kept coming.

The news of Lin Hengzhong's assassination was more serious than Lin Jiangnian had imagined.

After Lin Hengzhong's assassination, it caused quite a stir among the people in Linzhou!

Compared with Lin Jiangnian, the prince who had little presence, Lin Hengzhong's status in the eyes of the people was obviously much higher!

In the past ten years of Lin Hengzhong's governance, earth-shaking changes have taken place in Linzhou. The people have gone from being hungry at the beginning to having surplus food at home now, and their lives are getting better and better. Both the economy and culture are booming.

The people respect and love Lin Hengzhong very much, and some of them have even reached a blind existence.

This is also a problem that the court has always been worried about. In Linzhou, many people even only recognize the Linwang Lord, not the emperor!

In the eyes of many people, Lin Hengzhong is the king in their minds.

In recent years, there have been many requests from the Lin family army and the people to ask Lin Hengzhong to establish himself as king and ascend the throne to become emperor.

Now that Lin Hengzhong has been assassinated, a thousand waves have been stirred up in an instant. The people in Linzhou are filled with righteous indignation and spontaneously organize people to find the murderer.

At the same time, there are also winds that speculate that the murderer who assassinated Lin Hengzhong is from the court, and many people have pointed their spears at the court.

It's so lively!

There are endless arrests, the government simply can't catch them all!

At the same time, Lin Qingqing also brought back another news.

"The prince has woken up!"

"Just yesterday evening, news came from the palace that the prince has woken up and is out of danger, but his body is still very weak and it is inconvenient to see anyone..."

Lin Jiangnian, who learned of the news, half squinted his eyes and said nothing.

No matter what the speculation is, it is always a good thing that the prince can wake up now. As for the doubts in my heart, I can only wait until I arrive at the Lin Palace in two days and ask in person.

It's just...

This time, Lin Jiangnian was inexplicably a little uneasy.

Thinking that he was about to face Lin Hengzhong again, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

But in the end, he calmed down again.

"Your Highness, you have to be careful!"

After Lin Qingqing finished reporting, she seemed to think of something and her face was slightly solemn: "This Wu Yue doesn't take your Highness seriously."

Lin Qingqing's tone was a little low, and her eyes were a little cold: "He has no respect for your Highness at all. I am worried that he may be unfavorable to your Highness."

Lin Jiangnian was not surprised by Lin Qingqing's perception: "It's normal. What am I, a mere prince, in his eyes?"

"Your Highness, you are his master!"

"In his eyes, it may not be..."

Lin Jiangnian knew that Wu Yue was the same as Zheng Zhiming. They seemed indifferent on the surface, but they might not look down on Lin Jiangnian in their hearts.

With their reputation and prestige in the army, there was no need to take Lin Jiangnian, a young man, seriously.

And these people are also the biggest obstacle for Lin Jiangnian to succeed in the future. Lin Jiangnian wants to take over Lin Hengzhong's job smoothly, and these people are obstacles he cannot avoid.

These people will be dealt with sooner or later.

But for now, they are not a threat to Lin Jiangnian, and their existence is still useful.

After Lin Qingqing finished reporting the situation, Lin Jiangnian also ate and drank enough, and got up to go back to his room.

Walking in the corridor under the eaves, when passing by the door of Jinxiu's room, Lin Jiangnian stopped again.

Looking at the lights on in the room, his heart moved slightly.

Came to the door and knocked on the door.

"Jinxiu, are you asleep?"

"Sleep!"

A cold voice came from the room.

"That means you are not asleep!"

Lin Jiangnian pushed the door tentatively.

The door opened.

Lin Jiangnian stepped into the room and closed the door.

"Bang!"

He locked it habitually.

...
