In the study, He Ying was reporting to Lin Jinxiao the movements of officials from the county government. When he saw Chu Nanzhi coming in, Lin Jinxiao did not stop He Ying, but waited for him to finish reporting the matter before ordering him to leave.
Chu Nanzhi also heard all this clearly, it was all news about the movements of all officials.
After He Ying left, the couple sat together at the desk. Lin Jinxiao turned to look at her, who was full of thoughts, and couldn't help but asked with concern: "Could it be that Xu Jinzhou's prickly head really spoke openly and contradicted the wife?"
"He doesn't have that ability."
This time, Chu Nanzhi took the initiative to squeeze Lin Jinxiao's slender, well-jointed fingers into her palms, stared at him with burning eyes, and said with a warm smile: "Guess who I met on the way back home?"
"Princess Qian?"
Lin Jinxiao didn't even bother to talk to her and replied directly.
"how do you know?"
Chu Nanzhi blinked in surprise.
"Since she got such a big advantage today, can our noble princess come out and show off?"
Lin Jinxiao's deep eyes were filled with contempt.
Seeing him so calm and composed, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh.
In terms of intelligence and scheming, she was not worried that Lin Jinxiao would not be able to defeat Tang Ru, but she was worried about the secret.
She was really afraid that the pretty boy would one day find out about his life experience, and she couldn't bear it anymore and led her troops into Jinling City.
"Lin Dalang, in four days I will go to Beijing with my little treasures. I hope that no matter what happens, you will try your best to exercise restraint and never do something as tragic as the ten clans of the Yi Qi family again."
When Chu Nanzhi said this, the anxiety in her heart was completely written on her face.
She knew very well that the pretty boy could obey her on many things, but he was just accommodating herself, but it did not mean that he had no opinions and positions.
Lin Jinxiao didn't know why she suddenly said such heavy words. He guessed that it was because of the recent events that made her worry about herself.
"You don't have to worry. I have my own sense of discretion. I will rush to stabilize the situation in Pingningzhou before you come back."
Lin Jinxiao gently stroked her oval face and said slowly: "My husband is not a murderous devil. You and the little treasures are still in the capital. How can I do something unreasonable? Everything is waiting for you."
Make plans after returning from Beijing."
Seeing that she still looked worried, Lin Jinxiao squeezed her thin face hard and assured with a smile: "My wife has prepared for a rainy day and has already arranged everything. Now there is Sanlang in the Duwei Mansion, and there is a thorn in the side like Xu Jinzhou."
To compete with Tang Confucianism, all a husband needs to do is follow his wife's instructions, constantly show weakness, and be insensitive to the power of the Tang family."
"That's pretty much it."
Chu Nanzhi smiled knowingly: "Tang Ru has a flaw like Princess Qian around him. No matter how cautious he is, he will have to be led by us."
Thinking of what Xing Huan mentioned today, she never thought of how to tell him.
Although it is still unclear who is behind the scenes, the direct participants in the tax bank case and the Duanlongshan assassination must be inseparable from Xiao Dingfang's participation.
He failed to succeed twice, so he would definitely find an opportunity to attack Lin Jinxiao. If he kept it secret, and he would not be by his side next time, and if the pretty boy made a mistake, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
This matter should not be taken carelessly. Chu Nanzhi thought about it in her heart for a long time before slowly asking him: "My husband, do you know Xiao Dingfang who is stationed in Pingning Prefecture?"
"One of the commanders of the garrison in the northern part of the imperial court."
Lin Jinxiao stared at her with some confusion: "Why do you think of this person?"
"I heard that this person is Yang Runchen's confidant. We have dealt with Wu Enrong. I am afraid that Yang Situ will hold a grudge and be harmful to you, so you have to be careful."
Unexpectedly, Lin Jinxiao suddenly became suspicious as soon as Chu Nanzhi finished speaking.
"Xiao Dingfang?"
After repeating the name several times, Lin Jinxiao suddenly looked at her with raised eyebrows and asked in surprise: "This Xiao Dingfang is a fierce general. Why did Yang Situ ask the court to place this man in Pingning Prefecture?"
Seeing that he was suspicious again, Chu Nanzhi immediately regretted mentioning the matter to him, and quickly explained: "Perhaps it is to be wary of you and Tang Ru. If the two of you collude, he will have to do it for the Third Emperor and the court."
Keep an eye on you."
"No, no."
Lin Jinxiao's face gradually darkened, and he began to murmur to himself: "If he wanted to monitor me and Tang Ru, he should have been transferred to Luyan Port, or to the pass where the Haiyan County garrison went north, instead of to
Beibu Gulf became an unknown young naval officer,
As far as I know, this person has been stationed in the north all year round and is not familiar with naval warfare. Since the imperial court asked Tang Ru to supervise the army, it will not arrange for Xiao Dingfang to go to Pingning Prefecture. Instead, he will arrange for Xiao Dingfang to join the Beibu Gulf Navy. This is very important for resisting foreign enemies.
It is of little use to monitor me. Obviously, this is not the decision of the court, but Yang Situ's own arrangement. It must be for some shameful purpose, otherwise how could he overkill his talents and eliminate his influence in the army.
"
Hearing what he said so clearly, Chu Nanzhi's worries rose in her throat, but his next words made Chu Nanzhi feel at ease again:
"Madam, do you still remember the tax money case and the assassins from Broken Dragon Mountain? I have analyzed that these people are from the military. Could it be that King Nandu has already known the news that I am about to be canonized and sent Xiao Dingfang to assassinate me?"
"Well, I also have a guess in this regard."
Chu Nanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she suspected that this was not an arrangement by Nandu King Lin Tingkai, it was better for Lin Jinxiao to blame him for this than to suspect other aspects.
Also afraid that he would continue to investigate the matter while she was away, Chu Nanzhi began to think about how to get rid of Xiao Dingfang without anyone noticing.
After all, Xing Huan didn't know Lin Jinxiao's life experience. As long as he got rid of Xiao Dingfang, he could keep the secret and eliminate hidden dangers.
But Xiao Dingfang is still a member of the military, so how to get rid of him is a problem.
Just as she was thinking about it, Lin Jinxiao saw her uneasy look, and he couldn't help but worry in her ear: "If Xiao Dingfang is really the one who sent Uncle Sanhuang and Yang Situ to Luyan Port to deal with you and me, now Wu Enrong is being
After being demoted, the Third Emperor's Uncle has also lost his power. I'm afraid that Yang Runchen's hatred towards you and me will become even deeper. You must be careful about everything when you enter the capital."
"With Chen Chuan coming to Beijing with me, Yang Situ can't do anything to me."
Chu Nanzhi said with a grin.
At this time, she didn't want the pretty boy to worry about her anymore.
Moreover, Beibin Wang Lintingyan still has some hope. If the Sixth Emperor's uncle wants to secure his position as regent, he will definitely not let anything happen to him in the capital.
Since arranging for Chen Chuan to come to Beijing, Lin Jinxiao's worries have been reduced a lot.
Seeing how confident she was at this moment, he felt much more at ease.
After discussing the matter, the two went out to have dinner with the family and then rested early.
Early the next morning, there was a rush of footsteps in the yard.
The couple woke up from the noisy sound, got dressed hastily, and left the room. Before they could wash up, they saw Chen Chuan coming in anxiously, with a dusty look on his face. The couple immediately sensed something was wrong.
.
Lin Jinxiao frowned and looked at the anxious Chen Chuan, and asked sternly: "What happened?"
Chen Chuan gasped and loudly reported: "Your Highness, Princess, Xiao Dingfang, the captain of the Beibu Gulf Naval Garrison, died in the camp last night."
After hearing the news, Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao were stunned on the spot.
