"Lord Wang, are you back?" When Zhang Shuru saw Lin Qijiang coming back, she was so happy that she immediately stood up.

Lin Qijiang slowly walked out of the shadows in the corner, and saw Lin Miao sitting next to Zhang Shuru at a glance.

"Guifeng, where did you run today? Your mother and I are dying. Lin Qijiang's words sounded full of reproach, but his tone did not mean reproach at all, full of gentle care.

Lin Miao immediately stood up, saluted Lin Qijiang, and apologized, "Dad, it's my daughter who is not good, and you and your mother are worried." ”

Zhang Shuru hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, don't talk about her, she has just come back and is tired." ”

Lin Qijiang laughed, "I haven't said anything yet, you are on maintenance, I see, the two children are about to spoil you." ”

As soon as his voice fell, everyone present laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"Were you just jousting?" Seeing that Lin Miao was fine, Lin Qijiang turned his attention to Lin Fanglong and Ling Rui.

"Yes, Dad, I'm sparring with Ling Rui, you just saw it, what do you think of his kung fu?" Lin Fanglong asked Lin Qijiang respectfully.

"Well, it's much better than your kung fu." Lin Qijiang smiled and shook his index finger in front of Lin Fanglong.

Lin Fanglong only felt that his face was burning, and he also knew that the scene where he had just beaten Ling Rui away, from a layman's point of view, he might think that Ling Rui's martial arts were inferior to himself, but insiders knew at a glance that he was slightly inferior to Ling Rui.

"And," Lin Qijiang continued, "just now, this young man was competing with you. And he didn't use all his strength. ”

When he said this, Lin Qijiang looked at Ling Rui with a smile, and Ling Rui lowered his head embarrassedly. It's as if someone is seeing through your mind.

Lin Fanglong was shocked, what? Ling Rui hadn't exhausted all his strength just now? But he has already dealt with it very hard, so this kid doesn't know how much stronger his martial arts are than himself!

Lin Qijiang asked with interest, "Where are you working now?" ”

Lin Miao chuckled.

"Laughing at what?" Lin Qijiang looked back at her in confusion.

"Dad, you don't know, his name is Ling Rui. It's our people from King Lin's Mansion. Now I'm by my brother's side, and I'm a personal servant. ”

"Huh? Such a talent should be a personal servant. It's wasted. Lin Qijiang shook his head and sighed, as if they had buried a big baby.

Zhang Shuru and Lin Miao looked at each other, not knowing what Lin Qijiang meant.

"Young man, you are willing to do it with me. Do something more meaningful? Lin Qijiang's eyes were full of hope and appreciation. Stared at Ling Rui without blinking.

Ling Rui was a little overwhelmed, he didn't want to do anything more meaningful, he just wanted to be closer to Lin Miao. He raised his head a little pleading and looked at Zhang Shuru's side.

"Mrs. just said that if I have a strong foundation in martial arts, I can follow Miss, be by her side, and protect her." After saying that. He lowered his head and stared uneasily at his toes. I'm afraid that something will go wrong in the middle of something that seems to be at my fingertips.

"Oh? Madame, did you say that? Lin Qijiang's expression looked very regretful.

In his opinion, protecting Lin Miao is more useless than being a servant by Lin Fanglong's side.

Zhang Shuru hurriedly nodded and replied, "Back to the prince, I just had this meaning, didn't Guifeng meet a bad guy when he went out today." I'm thinking, if there is a subordinate who knows kung fu and protects him closely, this kind of thing will definitely not happen in the future, and the prince and I will be less worried. ”

Ling Rui nodded hurriedly, indicating that he very much agreed with Mrs. Lin's statement.

Lin Qijiang frowned and said, "This is a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, if you don't want to be plotted by the gangsters, you have to go out of the door, and you don't step out of the second door, this is also the rule that everyone should abide by." ”

In fact, in the final analysis, Lin Qijiang was reluctant to be such a good talent, and he was overused in King Lin's mansion.

Zhang Shuru nodded hurriedly and agreed: "What the prince said is very true. ”

While speaking, Zhang Shuru's eyes turned to Lin Miao, and there was some begging in her eyes, as if to say: Daughter, since your father likes this slave so much, you can give it to him, right?

Lin Miao nodded and said, "What Dad said is that adding a person who knows martial arts to my side is also a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause." ”

Lin Qijiang's face showed a satisfied smile.

Ling Rui's heart was shouting: Don't bring this! Madam, you have to count when you speak, didn't you say that if you are good at martial arts, let me protect Miss? If it weren't for this prerequisite, I wouldn't have shown martial arts, I'd rather be a quiet beautiful man.

Lin Fanglong felt refreshed, and he hurriedly said, "Since Dad likes Ling Rui so much, the child will give him to Daddy." ”

"Haha! Good! My salt gang patrols and escorts, and we need such talents. Keeping him with me is the only way to make good use of his talents. Lin Qijiang was very happy.

The matter was decided so 'happily', Ling Rui followed behind Lin Qijiang and went out with a sad face. When he was about to go out, he didn't forget to turn around and glanced at Lin Miao with resentment.

But Lin Miao misunderstood that glance as gratitude.

She nodded at him and said in her heart: Don't be grateful to me, you are by your father's side, you will give full play to your talents, and you will have a bright future in the future.

Lin Fanglong walked to Lin Miao's side without a trace, and whispered to Lin Miao with a calm face, "In the future, you are not allowed to install such a person by my side." ”

"Huh? Why? Lin Miao turned his head to look at him in confusion, thought about it, and suddenly said, "Brother, don't you like the people around you to be better than yourself?" ”

"Not really! Who told you so! I'm just me" Saying this, Lin Fanglong was a little embarrassed and speechless.

"Just what?"

"Just don't like it, you're going to like your man. Stick to me and let me play sloppy for them. Hum! After saying this, Lin Fanglong turned around and left. Don't look back.

Lin Miao's face turned red all of a sudden.

She admitted that Ling Rui had once expressed her liking for herself.

However, I have already rejected him.

Moreover, since Ling Rui entered the Lin Palace, he had never met with him alone, let alone expressed his liking for himself. That brother, how did he know? What does Ling Rui like about herself?

With Ling Rui's character, he would never tell Lin Fanglong about this matter personally.

The only possibility is that Lin Fanglong is through Lingrui's words and deeds. See for yourself.

Yes! Except for my brother, who else in this Lin Wang's Mansion knows about this matter?

Lin Miao looked at Zhang Shuru with a little weakness and panic, and found that the latter was looking at her with a smile.

"Mother. What are you laughing at? Lin Miao asked with a slight stammer.

"I'm laughing. You brothers and sisters, both of you are such big people, and you are still fighting each other. Zhang Shuru's smile was gentle and doting.

Lin Miao relieved herself and breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Zhang Shuru didn't hear the content of Lin Fanglong's conversation with herself just now.

"Mother. Dad took Ling Rui away, what errand would he arrange for him? Lin Miao asked curiously. She suddenly became a little worried. Could Dad also see Ling Rui's good impression of him, so he was reluctant to let him follow him.

"I don't know about this, I rarely ask about their men's business. If you want to know, you can just ask your father. After Zhang Shuru finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to go back to her room to rest.

Today, there was no news from Lin Miao, but she had been worried for a whole day, and her spirit was tense for a day, and by this time, she was already very tired.

"Then I'll ask my dad now." Lin Miao had something in her heart, and she couldn't hold it back, so she immediately got up and chased after Lin Qijiang.

"Oops! It's so late today, let's ask again tomorrow, you're tired, go back to your room and rest early. Zhang Shuru said angrily, holding her hand and not letting her run.

"Oh yes." Lin Miao was a little uneasy, looking at the direction where Lin Qijiang and the others had disappeared, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

After waking up the next day, Lin Miao went to find Lin Qijiang.

But he was told by the family that the old man left for the Yijiang area early in the morning to inspect this year's salt affairs.

"Huh? Why did you leave early in the morning? Lin Miao was a little anxious, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart rose again.

"Yes, the prince was about to leave yesterday, and just as he was about to go out, he heard Mo'er come back to report and say" The family Ding said this, looking at Lin Miao uneasily, and didn't dare to say the words directly.

Lin Miao knew that what he was going to say next was that Mo'er came back yesterday to report that he had been kidnapped by gangsters. Therefore, Lin Qijiang delayed his trip and led people to look for Lin Miao's whereabouts.

"It's because I'm looking for me, so my dad postponed the trip."

"Yes, so early this morning, the prince went out with the people." The family replied honestly.

"Then do you know where the person named Ling Rui, who came with my father yesterday, is now?" Lin Miao asked.

"Ling Rui?" Na Ji scratched his head, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this name, but yesterday there was a new face who came with the master, and the master was very happy, and it seems that he appreciates that person very much." ”

"Yes, yes, that's him. Where is he now? Lin Miao asked eagerly.

"I went out with my master."

"Out of the house?"

"Yes, I left early this morning." The family Ding looked at the lost expression on Lin Miao's face strangely, and asked tentatively, "That Ling Rui, is the young lady looking for him in a hurry?" If there is, you can arrange someone to chase him back quickly. ”

Lin Miao shook her head indifferently, she didn't understand why she was so eager to find him, there was obviously nothing wrong.

However, what is the uneasiness in my heart?

"Then," the family Ding glanced at Lin Miao again, "If Miss didn't have any orders, the slave retreated first." ”

Lin Miao waved his hand, a little distracted, and the Ding retreated.

On this day, Lin Miao was sitting in the back garden, embroidering female red with Zhang Shuru, when she suddenly heard a report from the family.

"Madame, Mademoiselle. The prince is back. ”

"Huh? The prince is finally back. It's really good, this time in Yijiang, it's too long. While speaking, Zhang Shuru had already put down the work in her hand, pulled up Lin Miao, and the two of them walked towards the front hall together.

"Mother, did Dad come back late this time?"

"That's right! In the past, I went to Yijiang to inspect, and it only took a few days to go back and forth, so why did I go for almost ten days. Maybe something happened on the way. Zhang Shuru said, she couldn't help frowning, and she was worried.

And in Lin Miao's heart, the long-lost sense of uneasiness was instantly raised.

Why? Why is your heart beating so hard?

The two of them walked through the pavilion and alley, and soon came to the front hall.

Zhang Shuru saw it from afar, Lin Qijiang wrapped it in gauze and hung his right arm around his neck.

"Ahh Lord, what's wrong with you? What's wrong? Zhang Shuru greeted him in a panic and held Lin Qijiang's right arm with both hands.

Lin Qijiang impatiently pushed Zhang Shuru out, his face was very ugly.

Zhang Shuru's tears fell instantly, and she stepped forward again, gently stroked Lin Qijiang's arm, and asked in a low voice, "Lord Wang, are you okay?" ”

"Oops! The woman is the mother-in-law's, isn't I coming back, what can I do? Lin Qijiang was very angry, and when he saw Zhang Shuru shedding tears, he was even more upset.

Lin Miao looked left and right, but did not see Ling Rui's figure.

Lin Fanglong also rushed over when he heard the sound.

"Dad, are you alright?" Lin Fanglong also saw Lin Qijiang's arm and asked with concern.

"It's okay, a little injury, healed soon." After seeing Lin Fanglong, Lin Qijiang's anger became a little less.

"Dad, where's Ling Rui?" Lin Miao couldn't help but ask.

As soon as she said this, Zhang Shuru and Lin Fanglong were both surprised, and the two of them looked back at Lin Miao in surprise.

This forest seedling! Now it is Lin Qijiang who is injured, it is her own father, she doesn't care about the person in front of her, Ling Rui, who asked first, didn't even care about Lin Qijiang in a word.

Zhang Shuru was about to blame, but heard Lin Qijiang sigh in pain.

"Hey!"

Lin Fanglong frowned and reprimanded Lin Miao, "Lin Miao, what's the matter with you?" Dad is already injured, you don't care about Daddy's body first, but first care about an insignificant subordinate, what is the relationship between you and him? Is Dad important, or is he important? ”

When Lin Fanglong said this, he was very angry, originally he thought that it was just Ling Rui's wishful thinking towards Lin Miao, but he didn't expect that Lin Miao also cared so much about Ling Rui.

This was the most unbearable for him, and he couldn't help but compare himself with Ling Rui in his heart.

He is just a subordinate, and his status is definitely not as noble as himself. looks even worse than himself. Martial arts hum! What's so great about good martial arts, it's just a martial artist.

"Daddy! What the hell happened to him? Lin Miao's words were undoubtedly a heavy blow to Lin Fanglong's heart.

"You're enough!" He roared angrily. (To be continued......)
