"What on earth is going on?!" Lu Yuanzheng calmed down, looked at Lan Ruoling nervously and asked, "Why are you here? Do you know who sent that person just now?"
"I'm here because the Eighth Prince told me to secretly protect the Prime Minister before he left. As for the identity of the assassin, it's hard to say." Although Lan Ruoling had guessed something, she couldn't do it without evidence.
Just say it casually. "I will investigate this matter as soon as possible, and will also send more manpower to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Please rest assured, Prime Minister."
Lu Yuanzheng sighed heavily and nodded sadly. Thinking that he almost lost his life just now, he became restless.
"The assassin missed this time and will probably not come back soon. It's getting late. Prime Minister, please rest early."
Lan Ruoling saw Lu Yuanzheng's worry and fear, and left after comforting him. After arranging for the manpower to stay here, Lan Ruoling returned to the Eight Emperors Mansion thoughtfully, and began to think about this matter secretly.
Then he wrote a letter and told Lin Yinan about the incident.
The people sent by Nangong Nuo'er to the Prime Minister's Mansion did not expect to meet Lan Ruoling. After they failed and returned, after telling Nangong Nuo'er what happened, he was not surprised to receive a slap in the face.
Nangong Nuoer looked at the person in front of him coldly and cursed "trash". He waved his hand and asked him to leave.
Nangong Lingfeng also knew that Nangong Nuoer would attack Lu Yuanzheng today. After learning that Lan Ruoling had rescued Lu Yuanzheng, he was a little surprised, but more of it was expected.
"It's definitely not a coincidence that Lan Ruoling appeared there in such a timely manner. It seems that Lin Yinan had thought about everything before leaving, and even prepared for the worst."
"Dad, what you mean is that the Eighth Prince has already guessed that we will attack the Prime Minister?" Nangong Nuoer was a little confused after listening to Nangong Lingfeng's words. "Is that Lin Yinan that smart?"
"The Eighth Prince is usually very quiet. It is precisely because of this that we cannot underestimate him. Lan Ruoling is a shrewd woman. She will definitely keep an eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion during this time and will not let us take action again.
Opportunity. Nuo'er, it seems that your mission will not be easy to complete this time."
Nangong Lingfeng was not angry because of this failure. He looked at Nangong Nuo'er with a smile and said, "If you find it difficult, you can tell dad and he will help you."
"Dad is really fond of joking. I haven't paid much attention to just Lan Ruoling. When I find the right time, I will take action myself. When the time comes, I will definitely bring back Lu Yuanzheng's head to show you!" Nangong
Nuo'er looked at Nangong Lingfeng unconvinced and said, then pushed Nangong Lingfeng out of the room and sat on the chair angrily.
It was a few days later when Lin Yinan received the letter written by Lan Ruoling. He quickly read a few lines of words on the paper and then threw it to Lu Zhiyao. Lu Zhiyao lowered his head in confusion and read.
After finishing, he frowned and said, "Who could want to kill my father?"
"Guess." Lin Yinan smiled slightly and talked to Lu Zhiyao, "Don't you have someone to suspect in your heart?"
"I doubt the Nangong family, but..." Lu Zhiyao felt that if it was really the Nangong family, does that mean that they had already begun to help Lin Yichen rise to power? In this case, he and Lin Yinan still had to stay.
What are you doing here?
Lu Zhiyao expressed her doubts. Seeing Lin Yinan smiling and saying nothing, she guessed: "Have you already thought of a plan?"
Lin Yinan shook his head casually and said in a coquettish way: "I know you really want to go back to the capital now, because no matter what you do now, no one will suspect you."
Lu Zhiyao was guessed, and she did not deny it. Instead, she asked Lin Yinan if he could let her leave.
Lin Yinanruo looked at Lu Zhiyao for a while and sighed: "If I said I was reluctant to let you leave, wouldn't you have left?"
Lin Yinan knew very well the significance of the existence of the Nangong family to Lu Zhiyao. And he did not want to stop her from doing everything she wanted to do.
"With Lan Ruoling and the others here, the Prime Minister will not lose his life so quickly. I can let you go back, but you have to wait a few days."
Lin Yinan relaxed, and Lu Zhiyao knew enough not to push too far and nodded honestly.
Lu Zhiyao has been here for a few days, and he followed Lin Yinan out of the mountain and visited nearby towns twice. After seeing the virtues of the extremely arrogant soldiers stationed here and being raped by the Nangong family, he also
He met some businessmen who came from other countries to do business. However, Lu Zhiyao never thought that he would be taken out of Xia Lai Country by Lin Yinan.
On this day, Lu Zhiyao followed Lin Yinan out again. He did not bring any slaves with him like the previous times, but he was with Ling Yi. This made Lu Zhiyao feel suspicious and curious about where they would go.
After leaving the valley and walking a long way, Lin Yinan told Lu Zhiyao the destination of this trip. When Lu Zhiyao heard him say that he was going out of the border to Qingming Country, her eyes widened in surprise.
, and joy followed.
"Aren't you afraid of meeting people from the Nangong family and recognizing you?" Lu Zhiyao tilted his head and talked to Lin Yinan as he walked. She heard Lin Yinan reply slowly "Afraid", but she didn't seem to be trying to pretend.
After thinking about it, Lu Zhiyao became more and more confused about Lin Yinan's thoughts.
As if it had been arranged long ago, under the leadership of Ling Yi, several people met up with a caravan and then left the customs. What happened was simply beyond Lu Zhiyao's expectation. Originally, he wanted to enter and leave this country just to see.
It’s just about whether you can get the money.
Lu Zhiyao still hadn't recovered from this ironic fact until he left Xia Lai Country. It seemed that Lin Yinan had known for a long time that the Nangong family would not stay here, so he dared
He showed his true face to others in such a wanton and arrogant way, because it was impossible for these soldiers to see his true face, let alone recognize him.
"When the enemy attacks, won't they be caught off guard?" Lu Zhiyao asked Lin Yinan in disbelief, but got this answer.
"The enemy has already invaded, you just haven't noticed it yet."
Before Lu Zhiyao could ask too much, he was pulled away from the businessmen by Lin Yinan. She turned to look at Ling Yi, but did not follow him. Instead, she followed the businessmen away. Lu Zhiyao hurriedly asked Lin Yinan, "
Where are we going?"
"Go watch a good show." Lin Yinan didn't say much and took Lu Zhiyao's hand and walked forward. After walking for a while, he saw some horse sellers and gave them some silver coins and chose two horses.
The people rode away.
It had been a long time since Lu Zhiyao had ridden so happily. No one here knew her, so she didn't have to worry too much. She followed Lin Yinan closely and galloped for nearly half an hour without feeling tired at all.
Lin Yinan gradually slowed down, looked back at Lu Zhiyao, and said softly: "We're here."
Lu Zhiyao looked at the lively scene in front of him, as well as the people dressed up for traveling, and guessed a bit. Maybe there was some special event being held here, so he thought of taking himself to take a look.
The two of them jumped off the horse, settled the horses, and followed the crowd towards the front. Lu Zhiyao kept looking at the new things around her. When she saw the big stage and some words on both sides, she
His face suddenly darkened.
Although those words were written in Fanbang's script, Lu Zhiyao could still recognize them.
"You brought me here just to see this?!" Lu Zhiyao asked Lin Yinan in disbelief. After receiving his affirmative answer, she immediately fell silent and stopped talking.
I thought there was really something lively to see, but who would have thought that he would actually take me to see the beauty! Isn’t there one in Xia Lai Country? Do you have to spend so much effort to come here?
Lu Zhiyao glanced at Lin Yinan displeasedly. Seeing the faint smile on Lin Yinan's face, she snorted coldly and looked away.
Lu Zhiyao's angry look made Lin Yinan couldn't help but laugh. Seeing her posture, it seemed that she didn't want to hear his explanation for a while, so Lin Yinan didn't waste his time. He just admired Lu Zhiyao's sulking look without any trace, and then said it at the appropriate moment.
At that time, he closed the distance between the two of them and whispered to her: "Beauty is not the important thing. What is important is the person who is coming here later."
"Who is coming?" Lu Zhiyao didn't quite believe Lin Yinan's wording, and glanced at him suspiciously. She squinted her eyes and asked, "I mean, Master Eight, you don't want to pick a beautiful woman to take back to the capital, do you?"
?”
"Why does it sound a little unpleasant to me when you say this?" Lin Yinan raised his eyebrows, looked at Lu Zhiyao with a smile and asked, "What will you do if I say yes?"
"What else can I do? You are the master, and I will take care of you." Lu Zhiyao glanced at Lin Yinan, then looked at the group of people approaching not far away. She looked at the quilt
The man surrounded by the crowd watched him approach step by step, then stepped onto the high platform and sat down with his clothes on. Although he was far away, Lu Zhiyao still felt it at the moment when his eyes met inadvertently.
A chill.
Lu Zhiyao held her breath, thinking that Lin Yinan might be here for this person today. She slowly turned her head to look at Lin Yinan, and asked in a low voice: "Who is he?"
Lin Yinan told her silently. Lu Zhiyao looked at Lin Yinan's mouth shape and then at the man with no warmth in his eyes. She suddenly had a bad feeling.
Is this the person who wants to attack the Xia Lai Kingdom?
Lin Yinan is not a reckless person. What is his purpose in bringing him here today? And Ling Yi, where did he go?
Many questions swirled in Lu Zhiyao's mind. She looked at Lin Yinan intently, opened her red lips and asked, "Will we go back tonight?"
