It was actually inconvenient to take two women with him while marching, but it was hard for Lin Chong to ask them to stay. Besides, if they were left here, wouldn't they be serving as hostages in vain?
Wen Shaoxue took the initiative to ask him whether he should stop following them, but Lin Chong refused and lamented in his heart about this girl's IQ.
Anyway, I still have a reputation with Prince Xiang as a glutton, lazy, and fond of wine and sex, so there is nothing wrong with bringing two beauties with me.
In order to maintain speed along the way, in addition to Wen Shaoxue and Liu Er riding in a carriage, Zhou Ze and Lin Chong also learned to ride horses. Although riding horses along the way was quite cool, Lin Chong was really bumpy at the end of the day.
When it was time to set up camp and rest at night, Lin Chong took out the new self-defense weapon Jonathan gave him and studied it carefully. On the surface, it looked like a launcher that could fire poisonous needles and other hidden weapons, but after Lin Chong finished reading
Jonathan was surprised when he gave him the contents of the note.
This little thing can fire concealed weapons, and it can even fire a small amount of gunpowder. Oh my, isn’t this a low-end version of a pistol? Could this thing really be made by a person like Jonathan who lived in ancient times? He is
Where did you get these inspirations out of thin air?
He sat in a daze beside the bonfire. Soon he would return to the capital, the place where he desperately escaped. I wonder if there will be any changes in the city after being gone for so long? Those old ministers are all fine.
Are they also looking forward to their early return as much as they miss them?
The extinguished bonfire danced with fire in his eyes. After the night got dark, everyone went to rest except for the sentries who took turns taking charge of the night watch.
Lin Chong couldn't sleep, so he sneaked out and sat on the grass alone in a daze. Suddenly, a tall black shadow covered him next to him. Lin Chong was startled and subconsciously wanted to call someone.
The man hurriedly made a "shh" gesture to him.
When he saw it was Jonathan Lin Chong, he was relieved: "How come you don't make any sound when you walk? Do you know that people can be scary to death!"
Jonathan sat down next to him: "I rarely had the opportunity to admire the moon quietly like I do now. I was always running around, and all I could think about was how to survive."
Lin Chong didn't expect that his past would be like this. Could it be that he was also trained as a killer?
Jonathan seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. He shook his head: "It's not what you think. Now I'm asking you a question. You just need to answer this question."
Lin Chong nodded, having a strange hunch that this question might change his life from now on.
"Let me ask you, who was the first president of the United States?"
"I thought you were going to ask some technical questions. It turns out it's this, Washington. And it was only after him that the United States had the tradition that presidents cannot serve two consecutive terms. This company..." Lin Chong said halfway, but
Suddenly his mouth opened wide in surprise. "You, you, you...you are!"
"Yes, I am the same person as you."
No one could understand Lin Chong's excitement at this moment. Even if the other person was a foreigner, he felt like a fellow countryman from this person.
In the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, a man sat next to you and said to you calmly, "I am the same as you." Lin Chong was almost moved to tears.
No wonder he has so many weird ideas, no wonder I always have a vague feeling of intimacy towards him. That's because they have amazing similarities in certain values, because Jonathan has never regarded him as a superior emperor.
, in fact, even when they are not friends, they are equal.
And this kind of equality is exactly what Lin Chong has never felt here. It is because of this kind of equality that he can't help but trust the other person, and it makes him subconsciously feel that Jonathan has no intentions for him.
"Actually, your friend once told me that you and the real Emperor are not the same person. At that time, although I was dubious, I didn't kill you. Today it seems that your friend is indeed right."
"Friend? Which friend? Is it Qingfang? What else did she tell you?"
Jonathan shook his head: "No more, I just said this. Our previous interactions have given me a lot of doubts about your true identity, and it wasn't until the past two days that I really dared to confirm it."
"Doraemon? Really? Is it because I said this?" Lin Chong smiled.
Jonathan nodded: "It's true that you said this. But there is another reason why I plan to confess to you."
"What's the reason?" Seeing his serious expression, Lin Chong gradually put away his smile and became serious.
"I still remember that you told me before that you were willing to support me in continuing to research weapons. I wonder if Your Majesty is still willing to fulfill this promise?"
Lin Chong's eyes widened: "Of course I am willing to honor it, but I remember that you were not very willing at the time. Do you mean..." Lin Chong was very excited about his guess.
Jonathan nodded: "I believe you will be a good emperor, and I also believe in your own choices and judgment. I hope you will not disappoint me in the future." Jonathan looked into Lin Chong's eyes.
Lin Chong couldn't believe his ears for a moment. He had tried his best to get Jonathan's weapons, but the other party still refused to let go.
Unexpectedly, not only was he willing to give the weapon to him today, but he was also willing to accept his kindness and continue his research. How could he not be excited?
"Don't worry, you will never regret the choice you made today."
Jonathan hummed, turned his head and looked at the moon, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "I believe you, Lin Chong."
Lin Chong had been a little unable to sleep, and now he was so excited that he couldn't sleep. Being needed and trusted is always the biggest motivation for a person to persist for a long time. This is Lin Chong's current situation.
Although he had two dark circles under his eyes, he was extremely energetic. Wang Chengen and Zhou Ze were frightened by him when they saw him the next day. Even Manager Wang began to reflect on whether he had taught His Majesty a little too much in the past two days.
I didn't dare to talk to him for several days.
Although he didn't sleep at all that night, fortunately, Lin Chong now had a good excuse to do whatever he wanted. He squeezed into the carriage very shamelessly.
Yesterday, during the bumpy day on horseback, Lin Zhong suffered from backache, leg cramps, and extremely uncomfortable. Today, suddenly sitting in a soft sedan chair, his whole body seemed to have been sublimated.
