Chapter 182: Departure
The time of departure should be sooner rather than later, so after several people went home, they began to arrange for going out.
And when she heard that Lin Yingxue was going to go out with Fang Mengru for a while, Liu looked worried, "Now the two countries are at a stalemate, maybe there will be a war one day, you two girls' families just go out like this, my mother is really a little worried." β
Liu Shi took Lin Yingxue's hand with a worried face, Lin Yingxue hurriedly smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, mother, you forgot that Miss Fang has been learning martial arts outside a few years ago, and her martial arts are good, and besides, we will bring enough people when we go out, mother really doesn't have to worry too much, just wait for me to come back at home." β
"......"
Liu was about to say more, but at this time, Miaoqin suddenly came in from outside the door and reported: "Madam, Miss, Second Miss is back, and now she has arrived at the gate of our yard." β
Lin Yingxiang is back? Lin Yingxue hurriedly got up with Liu and went out.
Lin Yingxiang was wearing a concubine-colored embroidered short placket, wearing a pleated skirt of the same color, and a striking golden hairpin on her head slowly walked towards the direction where Lin Yingxue was, although they were two sisters with little age difference, but after getting married, Lin Yingxiang looked somewhat more mature than Lin Yingxue.
"Second sister didn't say hello in advance, so I could go to the door to meet you." Lin Yingxue casually pierced her body, which can be regarded as a courtesy.
"Say it about me!" Lin Yingxiang took Lin Yingxue's hand and glanced at Lin Yingxue with disgust, "You suddenly want to go out and don't tell me in advance, didn't I rush to the door to say goodbye to you?" β
Lin Yingxiang's words made Lin Yingxue's face blush, she raised her hand to brush the broken hair in her ears, but she couldn't help but think in her mind - she remembered that she hadn't revealed the news that she was going to go far away, why did Lin Yingxiang know the news so quickly?
After the three of them entered the house and exchanged pleasantries for a while, the Liu family left first, saying that they wanted Lin Yingxue and the two sisters to talk well, and she would come to visit Lin Yingxue later.
The words that should have been said were almost finished, and as soon as Liu left, the room became quiet. The two were silent for a while, and Lin Yingxue saw Lin Yingxiang bowing her head and looking preoccupied, so she couldn't help but say with some curiosity: "Second sister has something in her heart?" β
It seemed that she didn't expect Lin Yingxue's feelings to be so keen, Lin Yingxiang turned her head, and after being slightly stunned, she said with some difficulty: "The fifth sister is actually going out with the Third Highness." β
Now that Xiang Guo may go to war with Rong Guo at any time, and it is a little strange for Lin Yingxue to choose to go out to play at this time, plus Murong Jun also coincidentally chose to go out at this time, Lin Yingxiang just can't think about it.
Lin Yingxue has always been frank, now that Lin Yingxiang has seen it, she simply stopped hiding it, and said generously: "Second sister, don't think about it, we have something to do here, because I am afraid that my mother will worry, so I found an excuse." β
"Business? Is it dangerous? Lin Yingxiang suddenly became nervous when he heard this, "His Royal Highness usually never tells me this......" After being excited, Lin Yingxiang became a little lonely.
Lin Yingxue didn't say much, so she could only say vaguely: "If I say that there is no risk at all, then I am lying to the second sister, but it is not enough to say that it is too dangerous...... In short, the second sister should not worry too much, the third highness has martial arts and strategy, and he also has some connections in the rivers and lakes, so there will be no big problems. β
Lin Yingxue comforted Lin Yingxiang very seriously, and Lin Yingxiang seemed to be slightly relieved because of Lin Yingxue's words, but before Lin Yingxue could take a breath, she listened to Lin Yingxiang again: "I believe in the ability of the Third Highness, but ...... It's just that His Royal Highness is a man in the end, and he will definitely not take care of himself when he goes out, and I can't be by His Royal Highness's side, and it will be troublesome for the fifth sister to take care of His Royal Highness when he goes out with His Royal Highness. β
Lin Yingxiang held Lin Yingxue's hand tightly, and the strength was so great that Lin Yingxue couldn't help frowning, and looking at Lin Yingxiang's forced smile, Lin Yingxue knew that her second sister might have misunderstood something.
"Second sister, you have to worry too much, you will definitely bring people with you when you go to the Third Highness, they are all people who are used to serving, where do you need me to take care of the Third Highness." Lin Yingxue pursed her lips and smiled, her dark eyes were clean and translucent, without a trace of impurities.
Lin Yingxiang didn't rush to answer, but stared at Lin Yingxue for a long time, until she saw that Lin Yingxue was a little uncomfortable, and then she spoke again: "Fifth sister, I know that you have always had a good relationship with the Third Highness, and this time the Third Highness took you out with you...... If you really agree with the Third Highness, you should ask the Third Highness to give you a title, and I-I won't mind......"
The further he spoke, the lower and lower Lin Yingxiang's voice became, and seeing two drops of crystal sliding from Lin Yingxiang's eyes, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but feel a little helpless, "Second sister, you misunderstood, I really have nothing with the Third Highness!" If the second sister doesn't believe me, I swear here! β
Lin Yingxue frowned and raised her hand, Lin Yingxiang saw that Lin Yingxue looked anxious to confess herself, so she said in disbelief: "Really? Fifth sister, don't blame me for being too careful, I just thought that His Royal Highness would go out to do business and take one of your girls' family with me......"
That's why it's hard not to think about it.
Lin Yingxue understood Lin Yingxiang's feelings, and continued to patiently comfort: "Second sister just cares too much about the Third Highness, Second Sister, please rest assured, I am ...... to the Third Highness Absolutely no such thoughts. β
When she said this, even Lin Yingxue didn't notice that there was a trace of reluctance in her expression that was not obvious.
"Fifth sister, I believe in you." Lin Yingxiang finally let go of her worries, she looked at Lin Yingxue and smiled, the fog that lingered in her eyes covered the emotions that filled her eyes.
Time waits for no one, Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun and the others hurried along the way after setting off, except for a small amount of rest time, eating and drinking were on the way, fortunately, Lin Yingxue had practiced martial arts with Fang Mengru for a long time before to strengthen her body, otherwise she would be in a hurry day and night, and her body would probably not be able to stand it.
"Okay, this is already the last city before entering the Hunan Kingdom, let's have a good rest here today, and then find a way to enter the city tomorrow." When Murong Jun said this, they were looking for an inn in the city to open the door.
ββWith the rigidity of the relationship between Xiang and Rong, the people everywhere are panicked, along the way, the closer to the city of Xiang the more chaotic, to the city bordering the Hunan State is even more serious, when they first arrived outside the city, Lin Yingxue and others met several groups of people who wanted to leave but were robbed.
Everyone was working hard to hoard supplies, wanting to survive the upcoming war safely, and those people even set their eyes on Lin Yingxue and his party, but only after seeing the guards brought out by Murong Jun and the others make a move, they dispelled the idea of doing something to them.
And most importantly, now that the city is in a depression, not only are there not many people, but many shops have long since closed, so it is extremely difficult for them to find an inn that opens.
"Little rabbit, dare to steal my things, I think you are impatient!" Lin Yingxue and his party were walking, and suddenly a thin boy came over in front of them, the boy was barefoot, dirty, and protected a few buns in his arms, and behind the boy was a big man with a spatula.
After the boy saw Lin Yingxue and his party, his black eyes seemed to light up. He desperately guarded Baozi and wanted to get into the team of Lin Yingxue and others to seek refuge, but before he could get closer, he was stopped by the guards.
And after such a delay, the big man with the spatula behind the boy also caught up.
"Little bunny, you run for me again!" The big man didn't pay attention to Lin Yingxue and his party at all, but rushed forward and kicked the thin boy to the ground with one kick.
"Stop!" As soon as Lin Yingxue frowned when she saw this, Fang Mengru had already stepped out with an arrow, "Are you still human?" Hit such a heavy hand on a child, what this child stole from you, I will compensate you! β
Fang Mengru protected the boy behind her, her little face full of anger.
The strong man glanced at Fang Mengru up and down, and saw that although Lin Yingxue and his party were dressed in a low-key manner, they had an extraordinary temperament, so they just kept a straight face, pointed at the boy and said, "This little rabbit cub has been stealing food from my store for several days, since you are so kind, let's pay him ten taels of silver." β
