Lu Zhiyao was afraid that revisiting what had just happened would provoke Lin Yinan to do something to her again, so she was carried back to the grass house by Lin Yinan along the way, and she always buried her head in his chest, until she lay down on the bed, and then sat up wrapped in Lin Yinan's clothes.

Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan turning his head and about to leave, and hurriedly reached out to grab the corner of his clothes. Facing Lin Yinan's looking back, Lu Zhiyao opened his mouth and asked awkwardly, "Where are you going?" ”

Lin Yinan smiled slightly, pointed to the clothes that were thrown on the table not far away, and replied softly: "Sleep, I'll go bake your clothes." ”

The fingers slowly loosened, and Lu Zhiyao watched Lin Yinan walk out of the room, unable to calm down. So after lying down for a while, she jumped out of bed and quietly walked to the door, looking at the scene in the courtyard.

Lin Yinan was sitting in the courtyard leaning on the trunk of a tree, in front of him was a pile of burning branches, the bright fire light shone on his face, and his face became a little evil and demonic. Lu Zhiyao was wearing his clothes, looking at him with a casual expression, as if he was thinking about something. She looked at it for a long time, bit her lower lip, pushed the door and walked out.

"Can't sleep?" Lin Yinan turned his head to look at Lu Zhiyao and asked out loud.

"Ahh Lu Zhiyao didn't know what to say, so he had to say a word perfunctorily, and then walked over and sat next to Lin Yinan. After a short silence, he asked again, "How many days do we have to walk to get to the place?" ”

"Anxious to go to the barracks?" Lin Yinan's guessing rhetorical question.

"I just haven't been to the border and want to take a look." Lu Zhiyao shrugged his shoulders and said in a low voice: "After all, it is the place where my father has almost died a few times, I think even if I hear more from others, it can't compare to the reality I have seen with my own eyes." ”

"In the border area, Nangong Lingfeng is the king." Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao quietly, and after she finished speaking, he continued: "He is the emperor in the hearts of the people there." Those who have never been there can never imagine what kind of misery the people there are living in. ”

Lu Zhiyao's heart sank, it was a well-known thing for the Nangong family to do evil in the court, but was it the same for them to treat the innocent Li people?

"Some things are known too early and won't do you any good." Lin Yinan grabbed Lu Zhiyao's shoulders and said in a somewhat melancholy tone: "Maybe there, if you go there once, you will never want to go a second time." ”

Lu Zhiyao gently rested his head on Lin Yinan's shoulder, trying to imagine the scene at the border pass, imagining Lin Yinan's mood that he wanted to understand.

Lin Yinan thought that Lu Zhiyao was thinking about the Xia family, so he didn't say anything, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see any more movement from Lu Zhiyao, and when Lin Yinan turned his head to look at her suspiciously, he saw that Lu Zhiyao had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Lin Yinan smiled helplessly and shook his head, picked up Lu Zhiyao's clothes and carried her back to the house. The two of them slept until three poles above the sun, and when they rode horses to meet Ling Yi and the others, it was already close to dusk.

"Madame, aren't you hot?" Wanyue looked at Lu Zhiyao's dead collar and asked curiously.

Lu Zhiyao was stunned, the corners of his mouth stiffly raised to Lu, and replied, "I had a cold last night, so I didn't feel hot." ”

As soon as Wanyue heard this, she hurriedly draped the thin quilt that was placed aside on Lu Zhiyao's body. "I don't know what you and the Eighth Prince did yesterday, why did you catch a cold in a good manner? After you stop, let my sister go and boil a bowl of medicine for you. ”

Lu Zhiyao couldn't say how bitter she was, she already felt stuffy while sitting in the carriage, and now with such a quilt, it was like killing her. But thinking about the marks left by Lin Yinan on her neck, she could only grit her teeth and stiffen up, swallow all the grievances back into her stomach, and wait to return them to Lin Yinan in the future.

"By the way, let me ask you, has anything happened here since I left with the Eighth Prince yesterday?" Lu Zhiyao suddenly remembered something, and looked at Wanyue and Yudie shaking their heads, Lu Zhiyao's eyes sank.

According to what Lin Yinan said, there should be at least two people who followed behind a large number of teams. If Ling Yi hadn't dealt with them yesterday, then when they found out that the other person couldn't come back, they would definitely report to the master in the capital. I don't know when Lin Yinan and they want to do it.

Just when Lu Zhiyao was worried, the carriage suddenly stopped. Lu Zhiyao reflexively wanted to jump out of the carriage to breathe, but was quickly stopped by Wanyue.

"Madam, you should lie down in the car for a while, maybe you will be cured if you sweat again." Wanyue was worried about Lu Zhiyao's body and said eagerly.

"If I sweat again, maybe I'm sicker!" Lu Zhiyao raised his hand and patted Wanyue's forehead, "I'll go to the Eighth Prince for something, you and Yudie can also get out of the car to catch your breath." ”

After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, he jumped out of the carriage, but after looking around, he didn't find any trace of Lin Yinan, and even Ling Yi, who was supposed to be here, didn't know where to go.

"Go back to the car." Lu Zhiyao changed his previous attitude and gave orders to the two people who had just gotten out of the car.

Lu Zhiyao's deep voice and sharp gaze made both Wanyue and Yudie stunned, and then obediently returned to the carriage, listening carefully to the sounds outside.

Lu Zhiyao walked towards the front of the team, his hand hidden in the wide sleeve of his coat, and he held the short knife hard, for fear that the enemy would rush out at this time.

Time passed slowly, and when everyone realized that this time the rest seemed to be too long, Lin Yinan and Ling Yi slowly reappeared in front of everyone again.

Lu Zhi looked at Lin Yinan from afar and smiled lightly at him, and knew that they had eliminated the enemy. The tense body was finally relaxed, Lu Zhiyao turned back to the carriage, smiled slightly at the worried eyes of the two maids, and said, "I'm a little tired, lie down for a while." ”

Lu Zhiyao, who was at ease, fell asleep, and for the next few days, nothing unexpected happened, until they arrived at the final place.

"...... here?" Lu Zhiyao looked at the mountains in front of him and looked at Lin Yinan in surprise.

"You'll know when you go in." Lin Yinan took Lu Zhiyao's hand and walked straight inside. When he arrived in the valley, he said to Lu Zhiyao again: "These are all prepared to be used against the Nangong family." ”

Lu Zhiyao's eyes flickered, and the scenes in front of her made her speechless. The dense crowd of soldiers stood there, and at a glance they knew that there were a lot of roads. With so many people here, and so close to the border, it couldn't be more obvious why. It's just that the people of the Nangong family are so suspicious, how could they not find out all this time?

"Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is only one way to enter, it is easy to resist foreign enemies, but it is not so simple to break through foreign enemies, right?" Lu Zhiyao looked around, frowned at Lin Yinan and asked, "What are you and the emperor talking about?" ”

"This valley is not as simple as you think." Lin Yinan chuckled and lowered his head, prostrated himself in Lu Zhiyao's ear, and said, "Because, this is the place that General Xia personally selected. ”

All of Lu Zhiyao's thoughts were frozen because of Lin Yinan's words. "Yes...... Was it General Xia who chose here? Lu Zhiyao hesitated, but still changed his name for Xia Zhenkun. Seeing Lin Yinan nodded, Lu Zhiyao felt a wave of heat tumbling out of her heart, and then flowing all over her body, making her feel the urge to immediately find out, to see what kind of secret this treasure land has.

Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao's expectant look in his eyes, and knew what she was thinking. "I'll take you around later, but I still have some things to do, do you want to come with me?"

"Can I follow?" Lu Zhiyao is not familiar with the people here, and Lin Yinan came here because of the emperor's instructions. To do the things arranged by the emperor, can you bring yourself?

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a matter of looking at the people here and sending them something."

The two talked. After Ling Yi's side was ready, the group left the valley and drove to the nearest village.

Before entering the entrance of the village, Lu Zhiyao, who was riding a horse in front, heard a burst of miserable cries coming from the village. She turned her head to look at the people behind her, and it was clear that they had heard it too.

After several people looked at each other, they jumped off their horses. Lin Yinan ordered Ling Yi and another entourage to go into the village to find out what was going on, and when the two came back with a gloomy face, he seemed to have guessed a few points.

"Let's go." Lin Yinan spoke in a low voice, and spoke to Lu Zhiyao beside him in a very small voice. Lu Zhiyao felt as if Lin Yinan was deliberately suppressing her emotions, but she didn't know anything, so there was no way to guess Lin Yinan's thoughts. Until she followed Lin Yinan into the village and saw the scene in front of her.

A lot of people gathered around, some crying and some expressionless. But more people's faces are full of hatred and pain.

Lu Zhiyao walked there step by step, and after she saw clearly the rows of young women lying on the ground, all of whom had died, she stopped, clenched her fists hard to look at Lin Yinan, and asked, "What the hell is going on?!" ”

Lin Yinan didn't say anything to Lu Zhiyao to answer, just looked at those people fixedly, without any reaction. Lu Zhiyao tried to look into his eyes, in a vain hope that she could see a little useful information from the bottom of his eyes, but unfortunately, she didn't even see a trace of waves.

Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth and shifted his gaze to those people again. Beside the dead women, their relatives sat on their knees, and the miserable cries that sent chills down their backs came from them.
