son, don't mess around

Chapter 112 Autumn Water Sword

The sun is rising slowly, and the weather is still in the autumn season.

After facing the palace, halfway up the mountain, there are luxuriant branches and leaves, singing birds and fragrant flowers, and the air is pleasant.

The surroundings are quiet and fresh, and occasionally the sound of cicadas and birds chirping in the air adds a bit of vitality to the surroundings.

Just halfway up the mountain, Lin Jiangnian's figure appeared in the cemetery.

The cemetery was cleaned and spotless, and some fresh tributes were placed in front of the tombstone.

Lin Jiangnian burns incense, worships, and burns paper money.Wait until the paper money in your hand is burned out, and with the breeze blowing, slowly blow away the ashes.

Lin Jiangnian stood in front of the tombstone, staring at the words on the tombstone, silent for a long time.

"I gotta go!"

Lin Jiang spoke in a young voice, as if talking to himself: "I have to leave here for a while and go to the capital!"

"I won't be able to see you for a long time to come!"

Lin Jiangnian stared at it with a calm expression.

"Although you and I have never met, I have heard about your deeds during your lifetime, and I admire you very much..."

Lin Jiangnian had heard about the deeds of Princess Lin from many people, and he was full of admiration for this simple and kind Princess Lin.

Being in a high position, it is indeed not easy for her to achieve this step.

Although Lin Jiangnian had never seen it with his own eyes, he still had great admiration for this Linwang Mansion in his heart.

"This time I left Linjiang City and went to the capital. Firstly, I came to resolve the marriage between Linwang Mansion and Daning Tian's family, and resolve the crisis in Linwang Mansion. On the other hand... it is also to not lose face!"

Speaking of this, Lin Jiangnian's eyes gradually became firmer: "Now that I have become the heir of Prince Lin, I cannot change the results of all these mistakes. But I promised you last time that I will never lose your face, and I will never lose face." You won't lose the face of Prince Lin!"

"Going to the capital this time, I will definitely investigate the truth last time, find out the murderer who murdered the real Prince Lin, and avenge you!"

"..."

The surrounding area was still quiet, and there was no response.

Lin Jiangnian stayed quietly in front of the mausoleum for a long time, until the incense in front of the tombstone was burned out, then he turned and left and went down the mountain.

It was Zhiyuan who accompanied Lin Jiangnian to pay homage to Princess Lin last time, but now Lin Jiangnian is left alone.

At the foot of the mountain, several familiar maids waited for a long time.

There was Xiao Zhu, whose eyes were dodging anxiously, and Lin Qingqing, who looked respectful.

After Zhi Yuan left, Lin Qingqing took over many affairs left by Zhi Yuan, and was responsible for handling matters around His Royal Highness.

"Qingqing."

Lin Jiangnian walked forward slowly, touched Xiaozhu's head, and turned to look at Lin Qingqing.

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Lin Qingqing spoke.

"Let Lin Kong come to see me."

Lin Jiangnian opened his mouth lightly, then glanced at Lin Qingqing again: "By the way, you should also prepare."

"Prepare?"

Lin Qingqing looked blankly: "Your Highness, what do you want to prepare?"

"Clean up."

Lin Jiangnian said calmly, "I will come to Beijing with my son."

"Entering Beijing?!"

Lin Qingqing suddenly opened her eyes wide, but soon understood something: "His Royal Highness decided to go to Beijing to marry the eldest princess?"

"That's it."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "I heard that before Zhiyuan left, I gave you the command of the army around me?"

Lin Qingqing nodded: "Sister Zhiyuan has indeed ordered her subordinates to take charge of His Highness's army temporarily."

Lin Jiangnian nodded: "I'll talk to you later, you go get ready first."

"Yes!"

Lin Qingqing's face was serious, His Highness decided to enter the capital, this was big news, she had to hurry up and make preparations.

After Lin Qingqing left, Xiaozhu, who had been silent for a long time, raised his small head, looked at Lin Jiangnian with wide eyes, and said a little uneasy: "Your Highness, you, you are going to the capital?!"

"Yes!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

"That, that..."

Xiaozhu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Your Highness is going to the capital?
I heard that the capital city is very far away, in the very, very far north... How long will His Highness take this trip?

A year and a half?
or longer...

Thinking of this, Xiaozhu's heart twitched, and a strong feeling of reluctance welled up in his heart.Your Highness is going to the capital. Doesn't this mean that you will be separated from His Highness for a long time?
Long, long time no see His Highness?
Thinking of this, the little maid felt complicated and felt empty.

There was even a trace of unspeakable discomfort, and he lowered his little head, dejectedly.

"Okay, you should go back first!"

Lin Jiangnian didn't notice the little girl's strange reaction. He still had important things to do, so he waved his hand to tell the little girl to go back, but he turned and left.

……

Ruyi Building.

Senior Li picked up the fine wine on the table, took a sip, and showed a look of endless satisfaction on his face.

"It's really good wine!"

Old Li sighed: "After you left Linjiang City this time, Your Highness, I won't be able to drink this wine. It's a pity."

Lin Jiang smiled youngly: "Elder Li, don't worry, I have ordered someone to prepare the wine. If senior is hungry, someone will bring it to the house. Senior don't have to worry about running out of wine."

Mr. Li was startled, and then sighed: "Your Highness has a heart!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head lightly: "Compared to senior, this is nothing more than a drop in the bucket... During this time, I have to thank senior for his generous guidance in martial arts!"

During this period of time, thanks to the old man Li in the building who gave Lin Jiangnian unreserved advice on martial arts, he knew almost everything about Lin Jiangnian's questions.

Senior Li's understanding of martial arts is very deep, just a few words can make Lin Jiangnian, who is just a beginner, suddenly enlightened, like enlightenment.

It is also because of this that Lin Jiangnian was able to avoid many detours, and in such a short period of time, his martial arts improved rapidly.

All of this is inseparable from the guidance of Senior Li.Not to mention, the set of nine sword skills taught to Lin Jiangnian by Senior Li!
Although Lin Jiangnian has not yet exerted one-tenth of the power of the nine sword skills, he can vaguely feel the horror of the sword skills.

Just for this point, Lin Jiangnian should have a reason to respect the senior in front of him.

Mr. Li looked indifferently, and waved his hands: "Your Highness doesn't need to be like this. Your Highness's current achievements are due to your talent and hard work. I'm just your Highness's guide..."

"In any case, I still have to thank Senior Li!"

Lin Jiangnian quietly looked at Senior Li in front of him, then got up suddenly, and then slowly bowed deeply to Senior Li.

Senior Li was stunned: "Your Highness, why are you doing this?"

"Senior taught me martial arts, taught me the nine skills of the sword... Although the senior has no intention of accepting apprentices, I still want to call the senior a master."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Mr. Li felt a little dazed, and a glimmer of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

After a while, a look of relief appeared.

"Your Highness, there is really no need to be too polite, but it would be superfluous!"

Mr. Li sighed lightly, then glanced at Lin Jiangnian again: "Has your Highness decided to enter Beijing?"

Lin Jiangnian sat back and nodded.

"Since you have decided to enter Beijing, you must be mentally prepared!"

Mr. Li paused for a moment, and his tone was rare and solemn: "The land in the middle of the capital is no better than Linjiang City. The prince has made great achievements over the years, and at the same time he has made countless enemies. In the world, countless people want the prince to die, and there are countless people Waiting in secret to plot against the Prince's Mansion."

"When you enter Beijing this time, you must be extremely careful. In the middle of Beijing, don't trust anyone!"

Lin Jiangnian looked equally serious: "I will remember the teachings of my predecessors."

"Your Highness is talented in martial arts, even if you enter Beijing, you must not waste your martial arts... If Your Highness can persevere, there will be a place for His Highness in the world in the future..."

Lin Jiangnian still nodded, the martial art of self-protection is the foundation for him to settle down here, so naturally he can't neglect it.

"Since His Highness is going to Beijing, there is nothing I, a poor old man, can tell His Highness. Presumably the prince has already discussed it with His Highness, right?"

Mr. Li shook his head lightly: "I won't talk nonsense anymore!"

Speaking of this, Mr. Li seemed to have thought of something, and raised his eyes to look at Lin Jiangnian: "Your Highness, wait a minute!"

"Ok?"

Lin Jiangnian showed doubts on his face. Seeing Mr. Li in front of him, he slowly got up, turned and left.

Not long after, when Mr. Li came back, he suddenly had a box in his hand.

A rectangular box, dark and heavy.

Senior Li returned with the box and put it on the table.

"Your Highness must be extremely careful when entering Beijing this time. Before you leave, give Your Highness something!"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on the dusty rectangular box on the table, as if he had guessed something: "This is..."

"A sword!"

Senior Li patted the dust on the box, opened the box, and what Lin Jiangnian saw was a light long sword!

The sword is about three feet long, with a blue orb inlaid at the end of the hilt, and exquisite patterns are carved on the scabbard. The whole long sword presents a permeating aura.

As the box was opened, a chilling cold air rushed over.

Lin Jiangnian didn't know much about swords, but when he saw this sword for the first time, he could tell that it was a rare and peerless sword.

The lingering cold air made Lin Jiangnian's eyes brighten.

"Old Li, this..."

"This sword is called Qiushui. It was obtained by the old man when he was young. It has been dusty and has no place to use it for many years. Now that His Highness wants to travel, I will give this sword to His Highness!"

"This... absolutely impossible!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand immediately: "This sword is too precious, it would be a waste of money to give it to me!"

With Lin Jiangnian's current martial arts skills, it is indeed a bit wronged to match this sword with it.

He could see the preciousness of this sword at a glance, and naturally knew the importance of this sword to Mr. Li, otherwise he would not have treasured it for many years.

But Mr. Li shook his head: "What's the use of my poor old man keeping this sword? I don't know martial arts, and I don't plan to leave Ruyi Building. If this sword stays here, it will only gather dust. Why don't you give it to Your Highness... "

Mr. Li took a look at Lin Jiangnian: "With His Royal Highness's talent, martial arts will be able to make rapid progress in the future, and the future is boundless. Although this sword is not the best in the world, it can still be among the top few..."

"The old man believes that His Highness will be able to display the true power of this sword sooner or later!"

Lin Jiangnian was silent.

But Mr. Li shook his head: "Your Highness, you don't have to be polite, this sword was originally intended to be reserved for Your Highness!"

Lin Jiangnian was startled, and looked up at him: "You planned to leave it to me?"

Mr. Li nodded lightly and sighed: "Since His Highness made up his mind to practice martial arts, this sword has belonged to His Highness... Originally, he planned to hand it over to His Highness when His Highness decided to go out to practice martial arts. Now, it's just the right time to do the calculations." ..."

"If that's the case, then I'll be disrespectful!"

Since Senior Li spoke like this, Lin Jiangnian was not more polite.

The sword in front of him can be seen to be of ordinary quality at a glance. Lin Jiangnian originally planned to find a handy weapon in the Ruyi Building when he came to Beijing this time.

Right now, it's just right!

"Your Highness, try the sword?"

Lin Jiangnian stepped forward slowly, his gaze fell on the precious sword.

"Autumn Water Sword?"

The name is weird.

Lin Jiangnian stretched out his hand to touch the sword, and suddenly a chill hit his fingertips, icy cold.

There was an indescribable chill, which made Lin Jiangnian feel spirited.

He held the scabbard and picked up the sword.

The sword was not too heavy, and the size was just right. Lin Jiangnian held the hilt of the sword, stared at it for a long time, and pulled out the sword!
"call out!"

There was a muffled but crisp sound of unsheathing, and a ray of light flashed in the dim attic.

With the Qiushui sword out of its sheath in his hand, the room was slightly brighter.

"Good sword!"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes became brighter and brighter.

The blade was sharp and filled with a cold air, crystal clear like a black iron stone, Lin Jiangnian felt the horror of this sword when he touched it lightly.

The sword body filled with cold air seemed to be able to cut everything with a single blow.Clenching the sword in his hand, Lin Jiangnian suddenly felt an inexplicable confidence.

It's no wonder that martial arts practitioners need a weapon at hand, and a good weapon is indeed a great improvement for themselves.

Quietly admiring the sword in his hand for a moment, Lin Jiangnian sheathed his sword and looked up at Senior Li in front of him: "Thank you, senior, for giving me the sword!"

Senior Li looked indifferently, and waved his hand: "I leave this sword to you, I hope it will not continue to be dusty, and..."

After a pause, Senior Li said slowly, "Since Your Highness is about to enter the capital, today, I will teach His Highness the last move of the Nine Sword Techniques..."

"This style, the way of the sword has long been lost. Your Highness will travel the world in the future, unless it is absolutely necessary, don't let people find out, so as not to cause trouble with the way of the sword!"

"..."

In the afternoon, the weather gradually turned cooler.

Lin Jiangnian left Ruyi Building and returned to the small courtyard of his room.

Outside the small courtyard, there was already a figure waiting for a long time.

Lin Kong.

"Your Highness."

Seeing His Highness returning, Lin Kong opened his mouth, his eyes swept over His Highness, and stayed on something in His Highness's hand.

a sword?

At first, he didn't take it seriously, but after a few more glances, Lin Kong's expression seemed to freeze.

This sword...

"Ah."

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

"Your Highness has something to do with your subordinates?" Lin Kong calmed down and asked.

"My son is about to go to the capital. Before that, there are a few things I want you to do!" Lin Jiangnian said slowly.

Lin Kong was stunned for a moment, and immediately said in a low voice: "Your Highness, please give me instructions!"

He had already guessed the news that His Highness was going to Beijing.

He also had a premonition of what His Highness wanted him to do.During this time, His Highness has been ordering him to investigate some things secretly.

"Where's Li Qianlin?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him and asked.

Lin Kong said in a deep voice: "This person heard the wind a few days ago and tried to leave Linjiang City, but was secretly intercepted by our people..."

"Let him go." Lin Jiangnian said lightly.

Lin Kong was startled: "Your Highness, this..."

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand: "Let him go, if he doesn't leave, this show won't last!"

Lin Kong was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

"there's one more thing……"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Lin Kong in front of him, and spoke slowly.

……

After giving Lin Kong instructions, Lin Jiangnian turned and went back to the yard.

The journey to the capital this time is long, difficult and dangerous, so Lin Jiangnian must be fully prepared.

He didn't want to be assassinated one after another along the way!

So before that, you have to be prepared.

then……

Waiting for those people to be arrested!
Walked slowly down the corridor, at the door of the room, pushed open the door, just stepped into the room with one foot, and stopped again.

"How did you come?"

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised to see the familiar figure appearing in the room.
