Silk Town

Lin Dongyao personally interrogated the bandit spies captured by Yang Xiaoli.

The bandits had long known that it was King Rouhuai of the imperial court who had come to Xiushui Town, but the bandits' retreat was blocked, so they hid for the time being.

The spies disguised themselves as ordinary people to see the notice, but because the cuffs exposed the corner of the weapon, they were discovered and arrested by Yang Xiaoli.

Who knows, Lin Dongyao just started to interrogate, and once again new news was sent, and two women who looked like Linghu full moon walked out of the medical hall at the same time, and walked in different directions.

Xiushui Town is not big, Lin Dongyao's subordinates have investigated for a few days, and they have almost figured out the details of everyone here, why did there appear a woman who looks like her?

Lin Dongyao was also a little confused for a while.

"You continue to interrogate, and this king will go and see."

Lin Dongyao naturally would not miss any opportunity, and handed over the interrogation of the bandit spies to Yang Xiaoli, and he flashed away.

Lin Dongyao stood outside the medical hall, and for a while, it was difficult to choose.

Two teams had already followed at the same time, but which side should he go to? Two different directions, he has to make a choice after all.

"Lord Wang, where are you going?" The hidden guard asked Lin Dongyao softly on the side.

Lin Dongyao closed his eyes, and there was darkness in front of him.

His full moon had also been spent in darkness for a while, but it was an ambiguous and intimate brief reunion between them.

At this moment, if the heavens have mercy on his hard heart, can they point him to a correct path?

The position of the heart was on the left, and she was always in the closest place to his heart, never leaving.

"Go to the left."

Lin Dongyao let out a deep voice.

He immediately turned over and got on his horse and chased after him without hesitation. It's just that what is calm in his heart is the helplessness that he refuses to show. He only had half the right choice, and even that half wasn't necessarily him.

But since he came to Silk Town, he has a feeling that he is very close to her, and he has never felt like when he was in Silk Town, he can always feel that she is somewhere not far away.

She must still be alive!

Live well!

The fire in Kunning Palace is just a drama to cover people's ears! It must be so!

He rode his horse in pursuit, and not far ahead, a full moon carriage galloped by.

Just when Lin Dongyao was in hot pursuit, another hidden guard sent news from Xiushui Town.

Lin Dongyao was still on the horse, and he stopped the horse impatiently.

"What's going on?"

"Back to the prince, there are bandits in the village, and Yang guards sent their subordinates to ask the prince."

"The bandits appeared?" Lin Dongyao's eyes were cold, and his gaze was cruising between Xiushui Town and the direction he was chasing before.

This qiē came so weirdly.

He had wanted to find out why there was another woman like her, but now—

"Let's go back."

Lin Dongyao gave a faint order, immediately turned around, and returned to Xiushui Town.

His people can continue to track down the woman, but once there are bandits in Xiushui Town, they can't be delayed.

But the suspicion in his heart never diminished.

This Xiushui Town is like a circle that traps many people, and the people he wants to find are also here.

――

Not far ahead, the carriage of the full moon never stopped.

"Master, there are less than half of the pursuers chasing behind."

The hidden guard reported the news in a timely manner.

Full Moon nodded.

If it's less than half, it's much easier to get rid of it. If Lin Dongyao chased after her personally, she would not have a complete chance of winning.

She wasn't surprised that he had chosen the right direction. At critical moments, his intuition is always beyond ordinary people.

"Go ahead and go as planned." The full moon ordered in a deep voice.

Before Lin Dongyao's people came to Xiushui Town, she was ready to leave, and some preparations had to be prepared in advance even if they were not needed.

She set a trap on the way out, and her carriage could go around the trap, but Lin Dongyao's people would hit it nine times out of ten.

This time, even if he was suspicious, he had to leave first.

Anyway, he came out to look for a year, but he never gave up looking for her.

"Master, the trap ahead - something went wrong?!"

At this moment, the coachman's voice sounded outside the car with confusion, and the carriage was still running, and the full moon stood up suddenly.

"Take someone to see it. Go the other way. ”

She had prepared two paths to leave in advance, and there was another. If that one also goes wrong, it's really going to go back to Xiushui Town.

"Master, the trap of the other way is also wrong."

The carriage had not been moving forward for a while, and the coachman had again delivered bad news.

"Turn around and go back to Xiushui Town!"

As a last resort, Full Moon ordered to go back.

If you continue to move forward, sooner or later you will be caught up by Lin Dongyao's people. And now that the trap has been destroyed, it is not yet known what awaits us.

The trap was definitely not destroyed by Lin Dongyao's people, so there was only one possibility! It's bandits hiding in the shadows! The bandits were even tougher than she expected. It was able to destroy her two traps.

Nine times out of ten, the bandits destroyed her trap by mistake, thinking that Lin Dongyao had set it up to encircle and suppress them.

Since the trap was destroyed in this vicinity, if you go forward, there is a high possibility of encountering bandits, and once the fight starts, it will be difficult for Lin Dongyao to find her.

For the first time in a year, the Full Moon has gone so hard.

The galloping carriage turned around and returned to Xiushui Town.

The hidden guard, who had been chasing after her, was stunned at first when he saw that the carriage had returned, and then saw clearly that the person who raised the curtain was not the princess, so he frowned and sent the carriage back to Xiushui Town. Anyway, as long as the people are still in Silk Town, they have a chance to continue to monitor.

Inside the carriage, Full Moon winked at the stand-in, and then leaned on the saddle to close his eyes and recuperate.

She prepared a total of two stand-ins, and they were all used now. But what next? Could it be that she and Lin Dongyao really want to reunite in this Xiushui Town?

Returning to the familiar medical room, Full Moon remembered that his trap had been destroyed by bandits before, and couldn't help but call the hidden guard.

"Let Bing'er write an anonymous letter to King Rouhuai, informing him of the general location of the bandits."

"Yes, master."

The guards were ordered to retreat.

Full Moon's eyes flickered a few times, and he couldn't tell if it was irritability or what.

If the bandits are not solved for a day, Lin Dongyao will stay here. Since she has clues about the bandits, she naturally sues him as soon as possible, so that he can solve this group of bandits as soon as possible, and leave Xiushui Town.

If it was a few days later, Lin Jian would come, and when the people on both sides looked at her, she would not be able to leave.

――

In the inn, Lin Dongyao looked at the letter paper unfolded on the desk in front of him, a line of juanxiu small characters seemed ordinary, but the content surprised him.

This small Xiushui town is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Someone secretly wrote anonymously to him, reminding him of the scope and direction of the bandits' activities. He had just come back and pounced, and the so-called bandits had entered the village, but in the end it was just a few scarecrows pretending to be ghosts outside the village. Those scarecrows were not placed by the villagers, nor were they placed by bandits, they should have been placed by the people in this village, in order to attract his attention. This group is supposed to be in the same group as the person who wrote the anonymous letter.

These people still can't tell whether they are friends or foes, at least if the motives are unknown, they should be extra careful.

Yang Xiaoli had already gotten a lot of useful clues from the captured bandit spies, and with this anonymous letter, he would be able to pick up the bandits in less than three days.

It's just that he's not in a hurry now. Someone seemed to be in a hurry to get him out of here, and whoever it was, he had to see what was going on.

At this time, Yang Xiaoli sent a letter again.

"Master, it was sent by Concubine An."

"Bring it."

Since it was a letter sent by Concubine An, he would naturally read it.

It's just that every time the content of Concubine An's letter is similar, Lin Dongyao reverses it like a stream.

The letterhead was unfolded, Concubine An persuaded him to let go as soon as possible, it was a fact that the full moon left, whether it was a year or ten years, it would be in vain for him to continue to look for her, she would not come back, and Lin Dongyao would not be able to find her again. If a person disappears, he disappears, and the living person should accept the reality and return to the life he once lived as soon as possible.

Concubine An also mentioned Qiu Rong, although Qiu Rong had made mistakes, she was sincere to him and was willing to wait for him for the rest of her life.

Concubine An now lives in the palace as a concubine, seeing that the former crown prince Lin Jian has a prince, and the queen also has flesh and blood in her belly, Concubine An also hopes that Lin Dongyao can come back as soon as possible. Linghu Manyue is really gone, but at least Qiu Rong is single-minded towards him.

After reading the letter, Lin Dongyao folded it and handed it to Yang Xiaoli.

He is destined to disappoint his mother again!

Perhaps only he can understand his state of mind at the moment. It's not like seeking, it's more like wandering.

Aimless, the person he is looking for can't be sure whether he has zài or not, he seems to be chasing one possible clue after another, but there is a feeling of rootless wandering in his heart.

――

At the same time, on the marching carriage, Lin Jian and Zhang Xiuhui were sitting on one side of the carriage. Compared with the indifferent and alienated attitude towards Zhang Xiuhui, this trip, between Lin Jian and Zhang Xiuhui, the words increased significantly.

He will take the initiative to ask Zhang Xiuhui about the considerations and process of making the zuò sand table. When Zhang Xiuhui explains, he will also add some of his own bold ideas and assumptions, which involve not only the drill on the sand table, but also more ideas in actual combat.

She knew very well that if she hadn't stopped making the sand table during her pregnancy, once she gave birth to the eldest prince, within a year, she would have left Lin Jian's side for trumped-up charges. Lin Jian is the king of a country, how can he allow a woman who has emotional entanglements with the prince of another country to stay by his side and the concubine!

So even if she was about to give birth, she didn't dare to relax at all, and she was busy preparing day and night. Lin Jian didn't come to her, but she was temporarily relieved, as soon as he came, maybe it was when she was in trouble.

Fortunately, she finished the production in time before Lin Jian made a move.

Only by doing what Lin Jian needs and what she can come up with can she have a chance to stay by his side. Therefore, since she was reborn two years ago, she has been pondering the distribution of the strength and weakness of each country every day, but when she mentioned it in front of Lin Jian, she couldn't be too clear and direct, and it would arouse his suspicions.

When Zhang Xiuhui was in a trance, the carriage was frightened and suddenly tilted to the side, Zhang Xiuhui didn't have time to react, and instinctively exclaimed.

The next moment, her whole person fell into a generous and warm embrace.

"Your Majesty—" Zhang Xiuhui's eyes were as bright as water, and there was a hint of panic.

Lin Jian let go of her body and said in a deep voice,

"Be careful, this section is a rough mountain road, and it will inevitably be bumpy. Or you sit down. Lin Jian raised his hand and patted the position on his side, where the Linghu Full Moon that was once only reserved for him.

"Xie-Your Majesty."

Zhang Xiuhui's cheeks were red, and she immediately lowered her eyes, and moved towards Lin Jian's side step by step, but before she could stand firmly, the carriage bumped violently again, even more violently than just now, Zhang Xiuhui lay heavily on Lin Jian's chest, and her nose hit his elastic and tight chest fiercely.

"Okay, I'll help you sit down, the next time you hit other places, on this carriage, only if I hit it, it won't hurt, and you will suffer from other places."

Lin Jian frowned, and for the first time, she took the initiative to hold Zhang Xiuhui's hand and let her sit beside her.

Zhang Xiuhui's lowered eyes flashed a trace of hesitation.

Even if it hit him, she wanted to cry in pain, her nose was sore, and she had an indescribable weird feeling.

Did he know that he had already crashed into her heart?

The carriage continued to move forward, but the atmosphere inside the carriage was much more awkward and silent than before. Although sitting next to Lin Jian is a step closer to him, his heart does not belong to her, and no matter how close the distance is, it is illusory.

In the evening, Zhang Xiuhui left bumping away in the carriage during the day, and it was only a few months after giving birth to the eldest prince, it was the time when she needed to recuperate her body, and it was inevitable that she would be a little dizzy and nauseous after a bumpy road.

The carriage stopped, and she was about to get up by herself, but she fell into Lin Jian's warm and generous embrace again.

He didn't say anything, pursed his thin lips, and got out of the carriage with her expressionless.

Zhang Xiuhui looked up at his handsome and sunny face, and the feeling of trance and sadness was even stronger.

He is so good to her, but I'm afraid it's not sincere.

His feelings for Linghu Manyue are so deep that he can do anything to give his life for her! Even if Linghu Manyue hurt him and almost killed him, he would still let her go.

How could such a deep and persistent emotion change because of something she did?

Lin Jian didn't know Zhang Xiuhui's inner thoughts at the moment, he carried her into the room, put her down, and was about to turn around and leave, Zhang Xiuhui suddenly grabbed his arm, and in his puzzled look, he laughed self-deprecatingly, and then asked with a smile,

"The emperor is so good to me, is he pretending? The emperor wanted to know where Linghu Manyue was earlier, so he pretended to be good to the concubine, and the concubine was grateful and soft-hearted, believing that the emperor had the position of the concubine in his heart, so that the concubine thought that he had finally waited for hope. Your Majesty, can you not give Xiuhui such an illusory hope, you can accept Xiuhui is accepting, if you can't accept it, you still have the same attitude as before, and Xiuhui can endure it. Xiuhui is just afraid of the illusory hope given by the emperor that there is no zài. ”
