son, don't mess around

Chapter 115

It has been more than half a month since Lin Jiangnian left Linjiang City and headed north all the way.

From the very beginning, Lin Jiangnian's longing for the outside world was quickly exhausted in the boring days.

I have to say that traveling is the most tormenting.

From Linjiang City to the capital city, it is a long journey of thousands of miles. If you don't say February, you don't know when you will arrive.The road on this road is bumpy. Although it is an official road, the official road is full of potholes and has been in disrepair for a long time. When it rains, the road is muddy and the carriage is difficult to drive. It is even more miserable.

And the peace and security along the way also wiped out the last trace of excitement in Lin Jiangnian.

At this moment, a carriage was slowly driving on the official road, all the way north.Around the front and back of the convoy, there were many guards of the palace in plain clothes and sabers, waiting in full force.

And Lin Jiangnian was lying in the car bored.

After all, as the son of Prince Lin, the carriage he rides in is also different. It is made of special materials, so it will not bump violently even on the muddy road.

There are soft cushions and soft couches in the car, and there is a faint fragrance that smells good.Lin Jiangnian lay lazily on the soft couch, with his head on...Xiaozhu's lap.

In the carriage, apart from Lin Jiangnian, there was only Xiaozhu, a close servant who accompanied him all the way.

It was a long way to go to the capital, so Lin Jiangnian naturally brought along the only little maid who was still familiar with him.

The euphemistic name is to take care of His Highness's daily life along the way.

It was the first time to travel far, and the little girl was obviously very excited.Of course, the most important thing is to be able to stay with His Highness again.

When she learned that His Highness was going to Beijing to marry the princess, the little maid was obviously disappointed.She doesn't have many friends in Linwang Mansion, the only people she knows well are Sister Zhiyuan and His Royal Highness.Now that Sister Zhi Yuan left the palace for a long trip, His Highness would also leave, leaving her alone, she was naturally panicked and a little uneasy.

And when she learned that His Highness was going to take her to the capital, the little girl was naturally overjoyed.Along the way, he dedicatedly followed His Highness' side, took care of His Highness's daily life, accompanied him in eating and sleeping, and was extremely conscientious.

At this time, there were only Lin Jiangnian and Xiao Zhu in the carriage.

Xiao Zhu was wearing a green skirt, sitting upright on the edge of the soft couch, her face was slightly flushed, her eyes were more lively and shy.

Lowering his head, he saw Lin Jiangnian lying lazily on the soft couch beside him, and his head resting on Xiao Zhu's legs in an unceremonious manner.Xiaozhu's legs were slightly numb from the pressure, but she didn't make a sound.

Sit obediently, let His Highness lean on the pillow, and deal with His Highness's restless claws from time to time.

The carriage was driving on the official road, moving forward slowly, the interior of the carriage was warm and peaceful.

Until, not long before, the carriage slowly stopped.

Lin Qingqing's voice appeared outside the carriage.

"Your Highness, after passing the checkpoint ahead, we will leave Linzhou and enter the border of Yanzhou. There is still at least one month's journey from Yanzhou to the capital. But going forward, we have to be careful!"

This time when Lin Jiangnian went to the capital, the formation was not too small.After Lin Qingqing left as a kite, the pro-military general responsible for Lin Jiangnian's safety naturally shouldered the responsibility of protecting His Royal Highness.

Since leaving Linjiang City, Lin Jiangnian has not encountered any assassination so far.The journey was safe and sound, and all of these were naturally inseparable from Lin Qingqing.

Long before Lin Jiangnian's departure, there was an elder son who led the way in front of the army, and all possible safety hazards were eradicated along the way.

Of course, it also has something to do with Lin Jiangnian still in Linzhou.

Linzhou is the land of King Lin, and if any accident happens in the border of Linzhou, soldiers and horses belonging to King Lin's forces from various places will come to rescue immediately.

Therefore, in the border of Linzhou, there is no need to worry too much.

But once they leave Linzhou and lose the protective umbrella of Linzhou, Lin Jiangnian and his party will face unknown challenges.And those who hide in the dark will also start to move around.

"Go to plan."

Lin Jiangnian glanced outside the carriage and spoke lightly.

"Yes."

Outside the carriage, Lin Qingqing, who was sitting on the horse, nodded slightly. Just before leaving, she heard Lin Jiangnian's words again: "Wait a minute."

"What orders does Your Highness have?"

"How far is it from Xunyang County?"

Lin Qingqing thought for a while: "It's about three or four days' journey, but..."

A hint of doubt quickly appeared on her face: "Your Highness is going to Xunyang County?"

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

"Although this Xunyang County is the center of Yanzhou, it is not in our route. If we pass by Xunyang County, it will take a detour and take a few days longer. Your Highness really wants to change the route?"

Lin Qingqing was slightly puzzled.

"Yes."

Lin Jiangnian said firmly: "Changing the road, go to Xunyang County!"

Seeing that His Highness was so determined, Lin Qingqing didn't say anything more, and immediately lowered her head: "Your Majesty obeys!"

……

In the carriage, after Lin Qingqing left, Lin Jiangnian slowly sat up.Looking up, I saw Xiao Zhu's delicate and delicate face next to her showing a trace of indescribable grievance, biting her lower lip lightly, as if in pain but not pain, accompanied by a hint of resentment.

"what happened to you?"

Lin Jiangnian was taken aback, only then did he realize that there seemed to be something wrong with the little maid.

"It's numb, it's numb..."

Xiaozhu had a small face, looking pitiful.

His Highness has been lying down for too long, his legs are almost numb!

Only then did Lin Jiangnian realize what was going on, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

Xiaozhu didn't speak, looking pitiful.

"Come on, let me rub it for you."

As he spoke, Lin Jiangnian reached out and landed on the little maid's lap, gently rubbing it through the long gauze dress.

Xiaozhu's face turned red immediately, she lowered her head, not daring to look at His Highness, and bit her lower lip lightly.He wanted to say no, but he didn't dare to speak.

She could only let His Royal Highness's big hands gently knead her legs, Xiaozhu's delicate body was tense, feeling the temperature of His Highness's fiery big hands, unconsciously, there was a strange feeling in her body.

"Okay, okay..."

After half a sound, Xiao Zhu's low voice, still trembling, finally came.

But Lin Jiangnian didn't let go: "Don't worry, I will touch it again."

Xiaozhu: "..."

Your Highness, Your Highness is too bad!
Xiao Zhu felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to resist.

During this period of time, His Highness bullied her quite a lot, and she gradually got used to it.

After Lin Jiangnian let her go with satisfaction, Xiaozhu tidied up the messy skirt in a panic, pulled down the skirt to cover the snow-white legs under the skirt, took a few deep breaths, and let the flushed little face Gradually subside.

Lin Jiangnian, on the other hand, looked at the little girl in front of her with interest. The journey northward was indeed a bit boring. Fortunately, she brought Xiaozhu with her, otherwise the journey would have been so boring.

"come over."

Lin Jiangnian waved at Xiaozhu, and then pulled Xiaozhu into his arms.

In the autumn season, the weather has gradually turned a lot cooler. Under the cold wind, the interior of the car is still warm.

Being embraced by His Highness, Xiao Zhu didn't dare to resist, nor did she want to resist.

It's not the first time anyway.

She curled up in His Highness's arms with peace of mind, her breathing gradually calmed down, as if she was thinking of something.

"Your Highness?"

"Ok?"

Lin Jiangnian looked down at that delicate and immature face, "What's wrong?"

"Why are we going to Xunyang County?"

Xiaozhu remembered what Sister Lin Qingqing said to His Highness just now, and couldn't help asking.

She didn't know where Xunyang County was, but from what His Highness said just now, it seemed that she was planning to go to Xunyang County?

What kind of place is there?

"Go and do something big!"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes.

"event?"

Xiao Zhu was a little confused, isn't His Highness going to Beijing to marry the princess this time?
What are you going to do there?
Lin Jiangnian hugged the little maid in his arms, feeling the petite and soft body, very comfortable.One hand is wrapped around the slender waist of the little maid, and the other hand is slowly falling on the girl's white catkin, caressing it lightly, with a half-smile: "Don't you want to see your sister Zhiyuan?"

Xiaozhu was slightly short of breath from being touched by His Highness, her face was flushed, and her delicate body was limp in His Highness's arms, letting His Highness do whatever she wanted.But His Highness's words suddenly cheered her up again.

"Miss Zhiyuan?"

Hearing His Highness mentioning Sister Zhiyuan, Xiaozhu was immediately attracted to her eyes, and even forgot that His Highness was taking advantage of her unscrupulously, so he opened his eyes wide: "Can Xiaozhu see Sister Zhiyuan?"

"Of course, we are looking for her!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly, and slowly walked along the soft arms of the girl in his arms, as if appreciating a peerless treasure.

"That……"

Xiaozhu seemed to think of something, and opened his eyes wide: "Your Highness, you mean... Miss Zhiyuan is in Xunyang County?"

The little maid was obviously not too stupid.

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

Before leaving Linjiang City, Lin Jiangnian already knew Zhi Yuan's life experience, and naturally also knew the reason why Zhi Yuan left the palace.

revenge!

To avenge the Jiang family back then!

Back then, Jiang's father was the sheriff of Xunyang County in Yanzhou, and he was framed for treason and his family was destroyed.

And the culprit who slandered and murdered the Jiang family back then is still in Xunyang County.Zhi Yuan wanted revenge, so naturally she couldn't get around Xunyang County.

"She will be there."

Lin Jiangnian said lightly, one of his plans was to find Zhiyuan when he came to Beijing this time.Yanzhou is adjacent to Linzhou, and Xunyang County is not far from Lin Jiangnian's road to Beijing.

Then, Lin Jiangnian's first stop was naturally Xunyang County.

"Great!"

Hearing the news that she could see Sister Zhi Yuan again, Xiao Zhu immediately clenched her fists excitedly, her spirits radiant.

In Xiaozhu's eyes, Zhiyuan has always been her benefactor who rescued her from suffering, and also her most trusted sister.Before Zhiyuan suddenly left Linwang Mansion, this little maid was lost for a long time.Now that she learned that she could see Sister Zhi Yuan again, she was obviously excited.

But after being excited for a while, her delicate body suddenly trembled, subconsciously tensed, her pretty face was hot and flushed in an instant, and her watery eyes were full of incomparably shy expressions.

"Your Highness, Your Highness...don't..."

"Hey, let go of your hands..."

Lin Jiangnian moved closer to the little girl's ear and spoke softly, as if coaxing a child.

Xiaozhu's delicate body was tense, she bit her lower lip tightly, her blushing little face was full of shame and indignation that she didn't dare to see others, she didn't dare to stop her, she buried her head in Lin Jiangnian's chest, her voice was soft and aggrieved.

"His Royal Highness, His Highness bullies people..."

"Hey, where did this son bully you? This son is giving you a massage to help you grow up early..."

"Be obedient, you are obedient and obedient, I will reward you a baby later!"

"..."

The convoy passed the Linzhou checkpoint and slowly stepped into the border of Yanzhou.

After entering Yanzhou, the scenery began to gradually change, and people gradually emerged.Compared with the relatively hot weather in Linzhou, when you step into the border of Yanzhou, you can obviously feel that the weather is much colder.

Occasionally, the pedestrians who met on the side of the road also put on their coats one after another, and at the same time looked at the convoy on the official road with slightly frightened eyes.

Like a caravan, but not the same!
More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages were driving on the official road, and besides that, there were people on horseback escorting the left and right of these convoys.

Although those people were dressed in casual clothes, they could still look a little dignified. They were obviously not ordinary escorts, but more like well-trained master guards.

Along the way, very few people dared to approach.

The caravan drove slowly on the official road until night fell, passed a small town, and stopped.

"I will rest here tonight."

"Yes."

After Lin Qingqing finished arranging everything, she turned around and came to the carriage, getting closer.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Lin Jiangnian's figure appeared and jumped out of the carriage.

Lin Qingqing was about to speak, but suddenly smelled a strange breath in the air.

Can't tell.

Subconsciously sniffing, subconsciously raised her head to look into the carriage, in the dark environment, when she saw the red-faced little maid in the carriage who was tidying up her clothes in a panic, Lin Qingqing seemed to suddenly realize something, her face flushed immediately, Turn away quickly.

"Your Highness, will you rest here tonight?!"

His tone was extremely unnatural, and his face was slightly flushed.

Lin Jiangnian naturally noticed the reaction on Lin Qingqing's face, but he didn't take it seriously. He looked up at the small town ahead and nodded slightly.

This is a small town located on the edge of Yanzhou. The town is not too big, and it is quite comfortable under the cover of night.

There is only one inn in the small town, which was booked by Lin Qingqing's people long ago.Apart from the shopkeeper, there are only two waiters in the inn, and the shopkeeper's daughter.

Among them, except for Lin Jiangnian, Xiaozhu, Lin Qingqing and the guards responsible for protecting the safety of His Royal Highness, most of the rest were stationed outside the town.

Such a small town naturally cannot accommodate so many of them.

After tossing along the way, Lin Jiangnian was quite tired, not because he was physically tired, but because he was mentally tired.After finally meeting an inn, Lin Jiangnian thought he would take a comfortable hot bath, have a good meal, and refresh himself.

In comparison, Lin Jiangnian is not bad. After all, Xiaozhu is exhausted because of his martial arts foundation.She doesn't know martial arts, and she has to take care of Lin Jiangnian along the bumps along the way, so the little maid is exhausted.

Back at the inn, after washing and eating, the little maid couldn't hold on anymore and went back to her room early to sleep.

Lin Jiangnian drank a pot of tea in the hall, and explained to Lin Qingqing the next planned actions.

Now officially entering the territory of Yanzhou, it also means that danger will come at any time.After leaving the asylum in Linzhou, you must be careful next.

"There are guards patrolling outside the town at night, and there are guards outside the inn. Your Highness should rest at ease tonight, and nothing will happen!" Lin Qingqing said.

"Okay, then this son will rest."

Lin Jiangnian waved his hands, stood up, and glanced at her again: "You should rest earlier, too?"

Lin Qingqing was also very tired these days.

"Yes." Lin Qingqing bowed her head and said respectfully.

Lin Jiangnian got up and went upstairs, just as he reached the door of Xiaozhu's room, he stopped again.

Thinking of how tired the little maid was these days, Lin Jiangnian hesitated, then turned around and went to the next room.

Let her go tonight!
Push open the door and walk in.

After sitting in the room for a while, Lin Jiangnian felt drowsy. He blew out the lights, went to bed, and rested.

All sounds are silent.

In the dead of night, a silent figure slowly went upstairs and approached Lin Jiangnian's room.
