After more than 20 days of non-stop, the team arrived at the northern border. Due to the impact of the war, the people who had been doing reselling business with their subjects in northern Xinjiang were scattered, and the small city that had been temporarily built for business was as desolate as a dead city.

Affected by the climate, the whole of northern Xinjiang is desolate, with strong winds blowing on the face from time to time.

Lin Xin'er hasn't felt this kind of environment for more than two years, and as soon as she stepped in, it was as if she had never left, and she was still so familiar, and she seemed to have returned to the memory of practicing martial arts in the wind and snow.

The northern part of Xinjiang is much colder than the capital, and although it is autumn, snowflakes have already begun to fall here. Although it is rare, it falls to the ground and disperses, leaving no trace, but looking up at the sky, it is indeed a white flower from heaven.

Lin Xin'er stretched out her hand and took a snowflake in the palm of her hand, and soon turned into a small round water drop, crystal clear.

"Let's go, this is not the time to linger and admire, try to get to the camp before dark." Liu Cheng broke the temporary tranquility very inappropriately.

Along the way, he rarely spoke to Lin Xin'er, and even if he said a word occasionally, he was cold.

Liu Cheng is a person who can't tolerate any smudge, no matter who is found by him to do something inappropriate, he will be strictly enumerated, he doesn't know how to detour, he is a qualified Lord Yushitai, but he is also hated by many ministers. Therefore, when he uttered an inappropriate analogy, he would be defeated by everyone.

Lin Xin'er was not upset by Liu Cheng's interruption, turned around and walked towards the carriage.

"Lord Liu." After walking a few steps, Lin Xin'er stopped and turned to look at Liu Cheng, "Do you know why I want you to go on a personal expedition with the crown prince?" ”

"Humph!" Liu Cheng turned his face away and snorted coldly.

In his opinion, Lin Xin'er has something to do with Shuiyue Palace, so she should be brought to the court for careful interrogation, I don't know what the emperor thinks, let her run to the northern Xinjiang, do you really expect her to make meritorious contributions? However, the rest of the ministers all agreed, and he had nothing to do with his own opinion.

"Because Lord Liu is the prison army to follow the expedition, my proposal will be approved by the majority of the ministers, in other words, I am stained with Lord Liu's light." Lin Xin'er said.

"What do you mean?" Liu Cheng sank his face, and when he heard Lin Xin'er say this, he seemed to have become the person who followed her all the way.

He Liu Cheng has been upright and strict with himself all his life, when will he be in the same league with people who are not innocent?

Although he Liu Cheng admires Lin Bo's iron-blooded pride in galloping on the battlefield and defending the northern Xinjiang for more than ten years, he will not tolerate Lin Bo's daughter if there is anything wrong, although he has compassion for the experience of the Taishi Mansion, but there is no human affection to talk about in front of his eyes.

Lin Xin'er smiled slightly, "Could it be that Lord Liu doesn't understand his situation in the court so much?" ”

In the situation of the court, Liu Cheng naturally knew that many officials wished that he would be dismissed and stay away from the court. He knew that his official hat was trembling, but he thought that he was not afraid of shadows, and there was justice on the merits.

"Does Lord Liu think he can always occupy the word 'justice'?" Lin Xin'er said, "If justice is always followed, there will be no unjust, false and wrongful cases in the world, you have justice because you haven't touched the person sitting in the highest position, if you anger him, do you think you will still abide by the word justice?" You can recall the situation when you compared the events of the previous dynasty in the Showa Palace, why don't you continue to blame me for that incident, and warn the emperor to punish me severely, just in case? Isn't that what you've been worried about all the way? ”

Liu Cheng was silent, Lin Xin'er did talk about his node, and at that time, he casually moved out of the analogy of the previous dynasty, and he was indeed afraid of being blamed by the emperor, so he closed it in time.

Lin Xin'er said with a smile, "In the final analysis, Lord Liu is not really as straightforward as he thinks, at least in front of the emperor, you still remember to be measured when you speak." Therefore, Lord Liu is not a loyal minister, and he is not so noble in his bones. ”

"You," Liu Cheng, who was said by Lin Xin'er, turned red, and his ears were a little hot.

"If Lord Liu was extremely loyal and opposed to me coming to Northern Xinjiang, I don't think I would have been on the road so easily, do you think I was stained with Lord Liu's light?" Lin Xin'er asked with a smile.

Lin Xin'er's smile was sarcastic in front of Liu Cheng's eyes, making him speechless.

Along the way, he thought that he was upright, and after Lin Xin'er said this, he saw a self standing crookedly. In the Showa Palace, he really didn't have a strong admonition, but he was afraid of the fall of other courtiers, and he didn't have the courage to resist him, and he kept his own opinions.

"Actually, this is just from Lord Liu's point of view, as other courtiers, trying their best to give Lord Liu a problem, and working together to let Lord Liu pick up my hot potato, if there is anything wrong with me, the first person to suffer is Lord Liu, right? Therefore, I proposed to let Lord Liu follow the expedition, which would naturally be agreed by the majority of the people, and if it was someone else, I am afraid that it would not be so easy to get a unified opinion. Lin Xin'er said.

"You're such a cunning woman, taking advantage of such a treacherous villain!" Although Liu Cheng was very angry, it was a foregone conclusion, everyone had arrived in Northern Xinjiang, what else could be done?

"What are you talking about?" Ximen Che, who went to check in front, rode his horse back, and happened to see Lin Xin'er talking to Liu Cheng.

The two of them didn't communicate much along the way, but they stood together and talked while he was away, which made Simon Che a little unhappy, and he felt that he was deliberately isolated again.

"I'm praising Lord Liu for acting impartially, he is a rare and upright person, but it's a pity that he has made enemies on all sides and offended many people." Lin Xin'er said to Simon Che.

"Yes, Lord Liu has also offended Prince Ben, and Prince Ben also hates this Yushitai, and he doesn't want to come to Northern Xinjiang together one day." Ximen Che said, glaring at Liu Cheng.

In the court, Liu Chengke ridiculed him a lot, how many times he was annoyed, and he had no way to refute it, losing a lot of face.

In fact, when the Showa Palace decided on this Northern Expedition, he still thought about changing the prison army, but he thought that Lin Xin'er proposed it and the ministers agreed, so he didn't dare to say anything after thinking about it. Now that there is no King Xuan behind him, he needs to encircle the ministers, and he does not dare to easily oppose the attitude of the ministers.

As soon as Lin Xin'er dissected the soft place, the burning heat at the root of Liu Cheng's ears had not subsided, and in the face of Ximen Che, he was silent and speechless without the harsh words of the past.

"There is no need to mention the old things, now Lord Liu is dedicated to His Royal Highness the Prince, helping His Royal Highness to make contributions in Northern Xinjiang, and after quelling the war in Northern Xinjiang and returning to Beijing, the Prince has more experience, Lord Liu also disappointed those courtiers who targeted him, and returned with honor, ......what about me?"

"How are you?" Simon asked.

"I really want to stay in Northern Xinjiang and never go back." Lin Xin'er said as she walked towards the carriage.
