Chapter 955 Going Out with the Team

Whirlwind exposed his sharp nails hidden under the flesh pad, scratched the note into pieces, then shouted at the prince, jumped off the bed, jumped out of the window and disappeared into the darkness.

The prince looked at the scraps of paper on the bed and had a new understanding of how smart the little black cat was. In addition to delivering letters, he also took care of the task of destroying notes. After completing the task, he left by himself.

The prince stood by the window for a long time, and then went back to bed to rest. He decided to talk about the rest after dawn.

Xuanfeng rushed back to Lianyi's room in Shangshu Mansion just before dawn. When he saw his master meditating, he didn't disturb him. He just lay down next to Lianyi and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Lianyiyuan completed a round of Zhoutian's exercises. After finishing the exercises, he saw Tornado, touched his fur head and asked with a smile:

"Tornado, how are things going?"

"The note has been given to the Crown Prince. As for whether he will take Lin Yaozu to the battlefield, it depends on his own decision."

"Not in a hurry."

Lianyi said calmly.

Just by taking Lin Yaozu to the battlefield, the prince could repay the favor of saving his life. This deal was a good deal.

That day, when Lianyi and Lin Yaozu were having dinner with Mrs. Lin, Lin Shangshu came back with a worried look on his face.

"Husband, why are you so late today?"

Mrs. Lin immediately stood up and greeted him.

Lianyi and Lin Yaozu also stood up and saluted Lin Shangshu, and Lianyi thoughtfully asked the maid to serve the dishes again.

"Don't worry about me. You have dinner first. I have to go to the study first. Yaozu, please come to the study after dinner."

Lin Shangshu said to his son.

"Yes, father."

Lin Yaozu responded immediately.

After hearing this, the corners of Lianyi's lips slowly raised. It seemed that things should go smoothly.

After dinner, Ripple had a cup of tea with Mrs. Lin, and then returned to her yard. After all, there were three children waiting for her.

As a result, Lin Yaozu did not go back to his room to rest that night. Lianyi thought that he had gone to the yard of another concubine, so she did not wait for him. After watching the children all fall asleep, she started to sit cross-legged to absorb the spiritual energy again.

Early the next morning, Lianyi got up and watched the maid and mother-in-law taking care of the three children for breakfast. Then she slowly drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and then came Lin Yaozu, who had an ugly face and a pair of dark circles under his eyes. .

"Husband, you want to have breakfast. I'll tell the maid to prepare it for you again."

Ripple stood up and said with a smile.

"No, Lianyi, sit down, I have something to tell you."

Lin Yaozu waved his hands and then sat down. After sitting down, he even rubbed his eyebrows.

"Okay, you say."

Lianyi sat next to Lin Yaozu and looked at him quietly, waiting for him to speak.

"Lianyi, I may have to follow the crown prince on the expedition this time."

"What?"

Ripple immediately adjusted his expression and pretended to be surprised.

"Husband, don't try to coax me. Even if I don't understand the affairs of the court, I have heard my father say that my father-in-law does not take sides in the court. What's more, you are just the principal. How is that possible?"

Lin Yaozu also looked helpless and aggrieved at this time. He had received a casual job in the Ministry of War. He was just a small chief, and he was from the eighth rank. Even if he dispatched troops and generals, it was not his turn.

But this time the crown prince found his father and asked him to accompany him. What could he do?

"Father only got the news yesterday. He called me to the study last night just for this matter. He said it was very likely that he was the one who got me involved.

After all, he is the Minister of the Ministry of War. When the prince goes on an expedition, there are certain things to do about how to fight the battle and how the Ministry of War cooperates. In order for the Ministry of War to actively cooperate, I became a pawn in the hands of the prince. "

After listening to Lin Yaozu's explanation, Lianyi took out her handkerchief and started wiping her tears. However, she didn't cry loudly, she just cried silently, and then asked with choked sobs:

"Husband, can't you go with someone else?"

"If it were someone else, my father wouldn't be so worried."

"Does mother-in-law know about this?"

"Father will tell her that you should work hard during this period and help me prepare things for the trip."

After Lin Yaozu finished speaking, he handed a list to Lianyi.

"This is the list my father compiled for me last night. It contains the things I need to bring with me when I go on an expedition. You can help me prepare them in advance."

"Okay, I'll get ready right now."

Lianyi wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, took the list with her other hand, and looked at the densely written things on it. She knew that Lin Shangshu had been careful this time. The things he prepared were all useful and could save lives at critical moments. s things.

"I have to go to court today. It is estimated that the list of people who will accompany the prince on the expedition will be announced today. I will go change my clothes first."

Lin Yaozu said.

Lianyi could only nod, then turned around and took Mei Zhi with the list to see Mrs. Lin.

At this time, Mrs. Lin also learned from her husband that her son was going to go on an expedition with the prince. She immediately turned pale, fell down on the chair and began to breathe heavily. After reading it, Shangshu Lin immediately went over to caress his old wife's cheek. Back, while comforting:

"Madam, don't worry, the prince said he would take care of Yaozu."

"Husband, can't you not go? I'm just a son with no eyesight on the battlefield. If he has some shortcomings, how can I live?"

Mrs. Lin also began to cry and wipe her tears.

"Madam, the emperor's order cannot be violated."

What else could Lin Shangshu say? If he didn't let his son accompany him this time, it would be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the prince. In the future, when the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely cause trouble for him.

"Madam, you have to think about An'an, Ningning and Beibei. After all, our Lin family has an heir. If anything happens, it will be his life."

But with this contribution, the future of the grandchildren will be worry-free. You can't always think about the bad, but also think about the good. For the future of the Lin family, it is still worth a try. "

Lin Shangshu has been on the battlefield and knows that this battle is inevitable, and his son has obviously become a chess piece on the chessboard, so he must give full play to the role of the chess piece and obtain corresponding benefits for the family.

It can be seen that Lin Shangshu, the patriarch, is still very competent.

Mrs. Lin naturally knew what her husband meant, but knowing that it was one thing to accept him was another thing. She also hoped that her son could make contributions and support his family, but there was no danger in fighting.

Fortunately, she still had three grandchildren, which made Mrs. Lin's mood not so bad. If her daughter-in-law had not given birth to a legitimate grandson for the Lin family, she would have fought for the title of Third-grade Imperial Lady and would not have let her son go to war.

Under the comfort of Lin Shangshu, Mrs. Lin's mood eased a little, and then she saw Lianyi coming to see her with red eyes.

The two women gathered together, and they were both mothers, and they wiped away tears for a long time.

Seeing that the atmosphere was enough, Lianyi went straight to the topic and prepared travel supplies for her husband.

After five days of intensive preparations, the prince gathered his troops, bid farewell to the emperor, and set off from the imperial city in a grand manner.

The grain and grass had already set off three days in advance. Before arriving at the border, the prince had to join up with two other groups of soldiers and horses, and then go straight to the border town of Fengyu where the conflict was most serious.
