In the silent woods, the night pearl emitted a faint clear glow, and after waiting for a long time, Zhou Chengkuan and Gale had not yet returned, Lin Wan was anxious, but he tried to make himself look calmer. Hooked his lips and asked Xinhu casually, "Xinhu, did you make that 'wolfberry chicken soup pot'?"

Xinhu smiled and nodded: "Yes, the villain originally liked to cook, and his skills were passable." Before coming here, the master also specially let me learn a few more dishes that you love to eat. This 'wolfberry chicken soup pot' is the most nourishing, and the villain saw that your complexion was not very good, so he spent a little more time and made a pot of chicken soup for you. ”

Lin Wan smiled and nodded, thought about it, and asked again: "Is the old shopkeeper of Chunhui Restaurant also your person?"

Xinhu shook his head and said: "No, the master asked the villain to bring the personal guards to greet you and His Royal Highness the King of Peace, the villain has already come here half a month ago, and he has found out the people and things in Ping County clearly, and he also found a miscellaneous errand in Chunhui Restaurant." Last night, the villain went to the Pinggui Inn to meet with your Royal Highness the King of Peace as promised, but he didn't expect to be a step late, and the Pinggui Inn had been surrounded by people sent by General Yumin. This Chunhui Restaurant is the best restaurant in Ping County, and the villain expected that General Yumin would definitely eat here, so he returned here and waited for the arrival of His Royal Highness King Ping and Princess Wan. ”

Lin Wan frowned and continued to ask, "Why did Ximen Yumin know my whereabouts, and why was he able to come to the Pinggui Inn before you?"

Xinhu sighed lightly, shook his head, and said with some self-reproach: "The villain doesn't know how to leak the news, maybe there are spies sent by King Qi's party among our people, so General Yumin took the lead." Under the pretext of returning to the southwest snow mountains to rectify military affairs, General Yumin arrived in Pingxian County with several thousand soldiers two days ago. A few days ago, the master also sent a letter, asking the villain to pay attention to General Yumin's movements. It was the villain's negligence, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, and you failed to catch His Royal Highness King Ping and Her Royal Highness Princess Wan before General Yumin. ”

Lin Wan nodded slightly, raised her eyes to look at the entrance of the woods, and wrinkled her eyebrows silently.

Qingtong saw that Lin Wan was worried, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Miss, I have already made a mark all the way, His Royal Highness King Ping, Commander Lie, and Hidden Soul They will definitely be able to find here, you don't have to worry, the Hidden Soul's injuries have all healed, with his light skills, there will be no problem." I guess he'll lure Simon Yumin's men farther and come back. ”

Lin Wan smiled faintly, patted Qingtong's cold hand, and commanded in a low voice: "You go outside and take a look, report anything quickly." Although this place is very hidden, it is easy to be spotted by so many of us, so you should be careful. ”

Qingtong immediately nodded in response, and rushed towards the entrance of the woods with light skills.

Lin Wan thought for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Xinhu, and asked curiously: "Xinhu, did you lure Ximen Yumin away this afternoon? Where did he go? Why didn't he rush back when such a big thing happened in Chunhui Restaurant?"

Xinhu showed a mouthful of white teeth and said with a smile: "If you return to Her Royal Highness Princess Wan, there is a Majia Village ten miles outside Pingxian County, and there is a young Widow Ma in the village who is the concubine of General Yumin. Not many people know about this matter, but the villain has been exploring in Pingxian County for so long, and it is not completely fruitless. The widow of Nama was charming, and she had long been fascinated by General Yumin, and she was also pregnant with General Yumin's child. I thought that when I gave birth to a son, I would be able to follow General Yumin brightly and brightly. The villain was a step slower last night, and was taken away by General Yumin first, His Royal Highness the King of Peace, so he thought about arresting the widow of the horse and exchanging it with General Yumin when he found an opportunity. However, I didn't expect that General Yumin fell in love with you at first sight. The villain thought that the horse widow was afraid that it would be useless, so he asked the horse widow to write a letter threatening General Yumin, and asked General Yumin to go to see her immediately, otherwise she would go to the imperial city. The villain thought that even if General Yumin was no longer interested in Widow Ma, he would be afraid that Widow Ma would tarnish his reputation at this juncture and ruin his good deeds. ”

After hearing this, Lin Wan couldn't help frowning secretly, although this heart lake's mind was dexterous, it seemed that the plan had also succeeded. However, Lin Wan didn't like to hear what he said, and he always felt that he was comparing himself with people like Ximen Yumin and Widow Ma.

Seeing that Lin Wan was unhappy, Xinhu knew that he was speechless, and muttered: "Your Royal Highness Princess Wan, the villain grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he is not very good at talking. Although I have learned a lot of things and a few words over the years with my master, I am still clumsy in the end, please don't take it to heart Her Royal Highness Princess Wan. ”

Lin Wan shook his head with a light smile and said, "It's okay." However, you are very smart and thoughtful. If you hadn't come up with such a method, we wouldn't have escaped Ximen Yumin's grasp so easily. ”

Xinhu suddenly smiled and said: "Her Royal Highness Princess Wan has won the award, and the villain is just making up for it." The master always says that villains talk a lot, and they don't speak very well, so they don't like to take villains with them. The last time I went to Dafengguo, I only took Jianghai and Xinhe with me, leaving the villain in the palace and being responsible for cooking for the emperor. ”

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Being able to cook is a big advantage, and I like people who can cook the most." Brother Simon asked you to stay in the palace to cook for the emperor, which is also a trust in you and allows you to play the greatest role, not to dislike you, let alone to take you with him. ”

A happy smile appeared on Xinhu's round face, and he said happily: "Her Royal Highness Princess Wan is really good at talking, and when you say this, the villain immediately feels that he has become important." ”

Lin Wan smiled and asked, "The situation in the palace, how is it now?"

Xinhu thought for a while and briefly introduced: "If Her Royal Highness Princess Hui Wan is concerned, there are now nearly 200,000 troops stationed outside the imperial city, of which 100,000 horses are the southwest army of General Yumin, and the other 50,000 horses are the garrison army of General Yuqi who obey the orders of King Qi and General Yuling, and there are 50,000 troops of General Yuqi who will be transferred back from Xiyan Mountain immediately. However, General Yuqi himself did not come back, because the minerals of Xiyan Mountain are very important to the entire Xiling Kingdom, and of course the King of Qi will not let their master have the opportunity to master the minerals of Xiyan Mountain. Therefore, the person who came back with the 50,000 horses of Xiyan Mountain this time was Vice General Lu, and Vice General Lu was our man. ”

Lin Wan nodded and continued to ask, "Ximen Yumin said that he was ordered by the emperor to greet us, is it true?"
