Chapter 20: Hands-on
Jiang Wei has had this thought for more than a day or two, but Lu Yuanzheng has been sitting steadily in the position of prime minister, so he has to suppress this extravagant hope in his heart.
However, if the crown prince ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne, what will happen to Lu Yuanzheng is not certain. I think that Lu Yuanzheng's eldest daughter has been prosperous all the way since she married the Eighth Prince, and now she is still following the Eighth Prince out of Beijing. I don't know if the eighth prince treats Lu Zhiyao so well, is he really affectionate, or does he deliberately want to please Lu Yuanzheng, the prime minister?
Lu Zhiyao has been following Lin Yinan out of Beijing for two days, and the past two days have been almost day and night, and the route he has taken has become more and more strange.
"Madame, what do you see?" Yudie sat beside Lu Zhiyao, looked at her and looked at the distracted appearance outside, and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, it's just that I don't know where we are going this time, looking at the direction of this trip, it looks more and more like ......" Lu Zhiyao's voice became smaller and smaller, and the last few words were not spoken, and he was uneasy in his heart.
At noon, the carriage came to a halt. Lu Zhiyao sat for a moment, looked at Lin Yinan who walked to the front of the car and lifted the curtain, and silently asked him what he wanted to do.
"Get out of the car." Lin Yinan stretched out his hand and motioned for Lu Zhiyao to come over. Lu Zhiyao listened to his words suspiciously, jumped out of the carriage, relaxed his muscles, looked around at the environment, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to rest here for a while?" ”
Two rows of poplars on the side of the road block the too hot sun. Lu Zhiyao was taken aside by Lin Yinan, standing under the tree, and before he could ask him anything else, he heard Lin Yinan say softly: "Wait for you and I to go alone." ”
Lu Zhiyao's brows tightened, doubting the authenticity of Lin Yinan's words. "With so many emperors watching, where do you want to go?"
"I will make peace with them tomorrow, and I will not get in the way." Lin Yinan didn't seem to care about Lu Zhiyao's worries, and after eating something with Lu Zhiyao, he jumped on the horse in full view of everyone and left with Lu Zhiyao.
Lin Yinan's actions made Lu Zhiyao puzzled, and gradually moved away from the crowd, she turned back to look at the people behind her, "Where are we going?" How long will it take to get to the place? ”
"Didn't you say before that I was going to take you to the Nangong family's territory for a turn?" Lin Yinan lowered his eyes and looked at Lu Zhiyao in his arms, and under her surprised gaze, he said the most difficult destination of this trip. "We're going to the border."
Lu Zhiyao gasped, and after sitting up straight with a somewhat stiff body, he guessed what Lin Yinan was going to do this time. Even though Nangong Lingfeng and Nangong Nuo'er have returned to Beijing, there are still other members of the Nangong family at the border, and there are quite a few troops. If the emperor wanted to do something to the Nangong family, how could he choose to start in such a place?
Lu Zhiyao thought alone, Lin Yinan was also happy to see her sad, and he didn't plan to tell her the truth so soon.
Riding a horse is always more comfortable than nesting in a carriage. Although there was Lin Yinan behind her, Lu Zhiyao was a little uncomfortable, but after a while, she forgot about them, and complained: "If I knew this, I would have brought an extra horse." ”
"Madame, are you dissatisfied with sitting in front of me? Why don't we change it, what do you think? ”
Lu Zhiyao glanced back at Lin Yinan carelessly, in Lin Yinan's eyes, it was more like he was flirting with him. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, Lin Yinan hugged the person in his arms, accelerated his speed and continued to move forward, until he felt a little tired, and then stopped.
"We're down the rails, aren't we?" Lu Zhiyao looked up at the high mountains not far away, and doubted the purpose of Lin Yinan bringing him here.
"It doesn't matter if you're biased or not, won't they be able to let you see Yudie tomorrow?" Lin Yinan led the horse and walked ahead, Lu Zhiyao followed behind him slowly, looked around curiously, and waited for his heart to calm down, and then suddenly seemed to notice something.
Lu Zhiyao hurriedly walked to Lin Yinan's side, pulled his sleeve, met his smiling gaze, and blinked. Lin Yinan was amused by Lu Zhiyao's actions, and Lu Zhiyao's heart was pounding when he saw it with a handsome smile, and then he shook his head in hindsight, secretly scolding that he was not thinking about this.
"Just kill it, don't worry."
Lin Yinan's words made Lu Zhiyao's face change suddenly. The two found a place to stay, and Lu Zhiyao looked at the grass house in front of him, staring at Lin Yinan suspiciously. "Are you familiar with this area?"
"I've been with my master a few times." Lin Yinan casually returned to the landing distance, settled the horse, and pulled the landing distance into the house.
The grass house blocked everything outside, and Lu Zhiyao couldn't wait to ask Lin Yinan, "Are we really being followed?" ”
"The one who followed halfway, this is just one of them, I can't be sure who sent it, but no matter who it is, it's all from the prince's side." Lin Yinan lay down on the bed leisurely and said in a low voice: "I have left Beijing several times, but it is the first time that they have sent so many people to follow. ”
"But if you do it first, won't that make the prince even more suspicious?" Lu Zhiyao moved a stool and sat on the edge of the bed, and pushed Lin Yinan, who seemed to want to sleep, a little annoyed by his composure.
"Even if they don't kill them, they're suspicious. The place you want to go must not be discovered by the prince. Lin Yinan seems to have been ready to fight Lin Yichen and others, which made Lu Zhiyao feel the hardships of this trip even more.
"He didn't ride a horse, he has been with us for so long, his martial arts will definitely not be weak, don't underestimate the enemy."
"As long as you feed my belly, I won't lose." Lin Yinan squinted his eyes slightly, smiling at Lu Zhiyao's slightly stunned expression. "I'll take you to hunt later, I'm a patient, and you're the main force tonight."
After Lin Yinan finished speaking, he ignored Lu Zhiyao and closed his eyes. Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth and looked at his unhurried appearance, and sighed softly.
Walking out of the room, Lu Zhiyao sat down idly. I hadn't enjoyed such tranquility for a long time, and between Lu Zhiyao's thoughts, time passed quietly.
Lin Yinan rested for a while, and only after the sky was a little dark did he get up lazily and found Lu Zhiyao.
Seeing his lazy appearance, Lu Zhiyao was a little curious, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that the person ran away while you were sleeping?" ”
"If it was so easy to leave, it wouldn't be so difficult to follow." Lin Yinan raised his hand and dragged Lu Zhiyao up from the ground, watching Lu Zhiyao patting the dust on his body without care, he said slowly: "I remember that the master said that the game on this mountain is good. ”
"Is there a difference?" Lu Zhiyao frowned at him, then his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Your master...... What kind of person is he? I haven't seen him come to the Eight Emperors' Mansion. ”
"There will always be a time when you will see you in the future, don't worry." Lin Yinan patted her on the head, took her to the neighborhood for a walk, and came to the mountain and stopped.
The people who followed them never left, so Lu Zhiyao had to care. Seeing that the sky was about to completely darken, Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan's agility that he didn't often show, and knew that he had made up his mind to get rid of the prince.
No matter how hot the weather is, it is a little cold on the mountain. Lu Zhiyao sat by the fire, listening to the crackling sound of the branches being burned, what Lin Yinan handed to her, she took it and ate it, and after a while, his stomach was fed by him.
"You girl, are you still comfortable being served by this prince?" Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao's lazy posture leaning against the trunk of the tree and asked with a smile.
"It's okay, it's not so delicious, it's worse than my craftsmanship." Lu Zhiyao replied unashamedly, even she was a little weak in her heart when she said this, and she didn't dare to look directly into Lin Yinan's eyes.
Just when Lu Zhiyao lowered her head and touched her stomach, she suddenly heard Lin Yinan speak, "After standing for so long and watching for so long, aren't you hungry?" ”
Lu Zhiyao looked up at Lin Yinan suddenly, who he said these words to, it couldn't be more obvious.
There was silence all around, and Lu Zhiyao tried hard to feel the man's breathing, trying to determine his position, but unfortunately, he couldn't do so. Standing up slowly, she looked left and right alertly, and then went to look at Lin Yinan. After Lin Yinan also stood up, Lu Zhiyao paced to his side.
From knowing Lin Yinan to today, Lu Zhiyao has not seen Lin Yinan go to really fight with anyone, but he knows that his light skills are very good, even surpassing that Chu Ziqian. The person sent by the prince will definitely not be an ordinary person, so Lu Zhiyao is not sure that they can really put that person to death so easily today.
But all the worries in his heart were quickly cleared away by Lin Yinan's actions. Lu Zhiyao only felt a breeze blowing around him, and when he looked again, Lin Yinan was no longer there.
The sound in front of the right caused Lu Zhiyao to look sideways, and the sound of weapons colliding made Lu Zhiyao's heart tighten, but she immediately found that the short knife on her waist had been smoothed out by Lin Yinan.
Lu Zhiyao didn't feel that he was negligent. But in front of Lin Yinan, it seemed that even if she tried to guard again, it would be useless.
The figures of the two were entangled together, and the enemy may have been stunned by Lin Yinan's sudden move and his lightning-fast speed, so when Lin Yinan arrived in front of him, he didn't have time to fortify, and he was sent out of the air. But fortunately, this person's skills are not shallow, and he can still give Lin Yinan a strong and powerful counterattack after landing safely.
Lu Zhiyao's eyes were gloomy and she looked at the face of the person who was fighting with Lin Yinan, it was an unfamiliar face, she had never seen it. Clenched his fists and observed every move and style of the two of them, Lu Zhiyao never knew that it was such a person who had always been by her side.
