Lin Wan hooked her lips and smiled, and walked towards the two of them. Bing'er www.biquge.info helped her hold a wide umbrella on the side, not letting a drop of rain fall on her, but her shoes were instantly soaked by the stagnant water on the ground.

Seeing Lin Wan come out, Zhao Jing'er hurriedly stood up and said anxiously: "Second brother, you finally woke up, we won't set off again, and we won't be able to catch up with the dock before dark." ”

Xing Han smiled at Lin Wan and asked, "Are you ready?" We're going to set off quickly, the sedan chair is waiting outside the courtyard, and the carriage is also waiting outside the house, if you are ready, let's go." ”

Lin Wan nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I overslept." I'm ready, let's go. ”

Xing Han nodded, held up the umbrella and walked outside the courtyard, saying as he walked: "I'll go and let them carry the sedan chair in first." ”

Qingtong and Bing'er carried a small burden on their backs, holding umbrellas to send Lin Wan and Zhao Jing'er to the soft sedan chair. Qingtong, Bing'er, Xing Han, and the old housekeeper who had been waiting outside the courtyard walked out of the house behind the sedan chair with an umbrella.

Outside the Taishou Mansion, there are two carriages parked, and the driver of one of them is a hidden ghost.

Because it was raining, and Xing Han deliberately asked the old housekeeper to keep quiet, no one came to see him off. Lin Wan, Qingtong, and Bing'er got into the carriage driven by the hidden soul, and Xing Han and Zhao Jing'er got into another carriage. In this way, on this rainy winter afternoon, they left Taishou Mansion and Fengming City.

When passing through the city gate, Lin Wan saw Ouyang Yufei guarding the city gate again, and saw the young female general who was heroic on the outside and affectionate on the inside. The two did not speak, but smiled slightly and said goodbye silently.

Out of the city gate, two carriages galloped on the unmanned official road, Lin Wan leaned on Qingtong's arms, feeling soft all over, and his mood seemed to be drenched by the cold rain.

Although as soon as she got into the carriage, she had already changed into clean thick cotton boots and covered with a thick blanket, Lin Wan still felt cold, and even felt a little cold in her heart.

Qingtong saw that Lin Wan was depressed, so he didn't bother her, and seeing that he was already out of the city, he whispered in Lin Wan's ear: "Miss, the gale is coming, and he said that according to your orders, Granny Xiong has been sent to the dock." ”

Lin Wan nodded slightly, sat up, and said lightly, "Let the gale come in." ”

Qingtong nodded, and immediately transmitted the sound to Gale. In a few moments, a wet figure slipped into the carriage.

Bing'er handed Gale a dry cotton towel, then got up and walked to Lin Wan's side and sat down.

Fierce Wind thanked him, wiped the water on his face, hair, and body with a dry cotton towel, and then brought up the pure yang internal strength. In a few moments, not only did his hair and clothes dry up, but even the carriage became warm.

Lin Wan couldn't help but smile and said, "I should have let you in earlier, with you, I don't even need a stove." ”

Gale smiled awkwardly, then clenched his fists again seriously, and said, "Miss, my subordinates have something to report." ”

Lin Wan nodded, leaned on Qingtong's shoulder, and said lightly: "Say it, I'll listen." ”

Gale said: "Grand Prince Zhao came by water from Fengnan City, and he had already docked at the dock half an hour ago, and his subordinates had already sent Granny Xiong to the ship. This morning, in accordance with your previous instructions, my subordinates have sent someone to inform the Wind Hall Master to take the boy girl to the dock to meet us, and they should have arrived at this moment. ”

Lin Wan smiled faintly and asked, "What's going on over there in Fengnan City?"

Gale thought for a while and replied: "The Seventh Prince negotiated with General Hong Qiong outside the South City Gate last night, and finally Hong Qiong agreed to a one-year truce and personally signed a truce, and the Seventh Prince released Lan Ziheng, the prince of South Vietnam, on the spot. ”

Lin Wan nodded slightly, and then asked, "What about the capital?"

Gale continued to reply: "A few days ago, the emperor had already handed over a letter of state to the emperor of Nanyue, announcing Lilan Ziyue as the crown princess, and at the same time, he also issued a holy decree to make Liu Fangyao the crown prince's side concubine. Because Lan Ziheng was still in the hands of the Seven Princes at that time, neither the Emperor of Nanyue nor Lan Ziyue objected this time. The Ministry of Rites has already begun to make arrangements, and has selected the eighth day of the lunar month, the prince's wedding. ”

After a pause, Gale Wind continued: "The second prince Zhou Tianming is hiding in his prince's mansion every day, singing with a few dancing girls every night. Wang Yushi and others have impeached him three times, and the emperor only issued an order yesterday to ban him in the mansion, and ordered him to study and think, and not to raise a dancing girl in the mansion again. Prime Minister Liu also went to his house to scold him several times, but to no avail, and now he seems to have given up and ignored him. ”

Lin Wan chuckled and shook his head, and said, "Prime Minister Liu will not give up the second prince, just as he will never give up his ambitions." Now the military rations and salaries escorted by Liu Jinfeng are lost, but they are found in the second prince's house. If the emperor tracks it down, the Liu family and the second prince will not be able to get out of it. But Zhou Tianming is the emperor's son after all, and the emperor will not do anything to his son, but the second prince is getting farther and farther away from that position. ”

Gale nodded and said, "The emperor ordered Prime Minister Liu to find the other half of the military food and salary within three days, and send it to Fengnan City by General Feng Qizheng. Prime Minister Liu Cheng knew that it would be impossible to find it within three days, so he immediately exchanged enough silver taels with the money in the capital, and then purchased a large amount of grain in and around the capital, and bought up all the grain reserves in the capital in just three days. Finally, on the third day, I made up enough counts, packed them and boarded the ship. Now General Feng is already on his way to Fengnancheng with dozens of large ships escorted by the Yulin Army. ”

Lin Wan smiled slightly and said, "Great, the military salaries and military rations of the Pingnan army have finally been settled, and no one dares to fight these military rations and salaries again this time." Prime Minister Liu Cheng has made a lot of money this time, and it is estimated that the emperor will not embarrass their Liu family anymore when he sees that he has given so much silver. ”

Gale thought for a while, and then said: "Also, there is news from Xiling Kingdom, ten days ago, the emperor of Xiling Kingdom was seriously ill and his life was in danger. The Prince of Xiling immediately rushed back to the Xiling Palace and saved the life of the Emperor of Xiling. But it is said that it will not be delayed for a few years, and the throne may be passed to Ximen Yuqing, the prince of Xiling, within a year. ”

Lin Wan lowered his eyes and sighed secretly in his heart, it turned out that Ximen Yuqing suddenly disappeared because of this. I was secretly worried for several days, afraid that he had an accident because he went to the South Vietnamese army to save himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Wan couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head, secretly laughing at himself. For a man, no matter how important a woman is, where is his father important, and where is his country and throne important?

Gale continued: "The emperor of Xiling Kingdom has issued a holy decree to select talented and beautiful women in various countries, and hold a concubine selection feast in Xiling Kingdom next spring, and to choose a suitable princess for the prince of Xiling. ”
