When he reached the highest floor of Wangyue Building, his field of vision instantly broadened. Lin He hurriedly walked a few steps and reached the edge of the attic.

"You can really see far!"

Just like Li Changhui said, this is the highest point of the entire Lin Residence. At a glance, the entire Lin Residence can be seen.

It is also from here that we can see that Lin Zhai is really located on a mountainside.

When I was in it, I didn't feel much. I just knew that every time I passed a small courtyard, there were a few steps.

When I looked back, I couldn't see anything because of the obstruction of the houses and tiles.

But from here, you can clearly see that the entire Lin Mansion is spreading down layer by layer, with several courtyards on each floor.

Each courtyard has its own scenery, and the winding paths are comparable to a small town.

You can even see the front door.

The gate and high walls blocked part of the view, but further down, there were patches of farmland, but it was too far away and only a patch of green could be seen, and even the tenants' houses could not be distinguished.

Something was stuffed in his hand, and then Li Changhui's voice came: "Try this. From this direction, you can see the north gate of the capital."

Looking down, Lin He was instantly surprised: "Telescope? Where did it come from? I haven't seen you holding this before."

Li Changhui pointed behind him.

Only then did Lin He see that there was a small table in the middle, and on the table, there was an open long wooden box.

Obviously, the telescope in Lin He's hand was taken out from there.

Lin He looked at the telescope in his hand. It was a single-lens telescope that could be retracted and extended. It felt cold and made of metal.

"This thing shouldn't be common, right? Just leave it here like this?"

The telescope should be fine, but the lens is difficult to get. Although she doesn't have it, she knows something about it. This kind of transparent glass, no, it should be said to be transparent glass, is very precious.

What's more, the lens of the telescope is not just a simple piece of glass, but must be carefully polished to create a concave and convex mirror surface.

Li Changhui explained: "Of course I haven't always kept it here. It was hidden in the stairwell upstairs. I picked it up when I passed by."

He said with a smile: "I thought I remembered it wrong, but I didn't expect it to be true."

There happened to be no one around, so Li Changhui didn't want to hide anything: "This villa, the villa, and the secret passage are all left over from the previous dynasty, along with this telescope."

"The cause was a rebellion. The people stationed in the other palaces came here through a secret passage. They could see the situation in the capital. Although they could only see the north gate, it was enough."

With that said, he motioned to Lin He to take a look.

Looking in the direction Li Changhui pointed, he could see a small black patch in the distance. Most of it was blocked by the trees on the hillside, but a little bit could still be seen.

That should be the capital.

The distance is too far. If it weren't for the fact that it was very different from the surrounding green, it would be difficult to see anything.

Li Changhui helped her adjust the angle and put it in front of her eyes. When she first got close, there were still some flowers, but she could see them soon.

The small black spot instantly became extremely clear in front of her eyes, especially the north gate that she had already seen.

The city gate has been shrunk many times, and there are still many people queuing in and out of the city. Those people and carriages look like little ants from such a distance.Lin He curiously moved the telescope from the city gate to the foot of their mountain. It was too close to Fengming Mountain and was more obscured, but a little outside, many people were farming in the fields, and he could see clearly.

Even though he knew how the telescope worked, Lin He still felt it was magical and admired it for a long time.

"It's amazing, you can actually see so far."

Not only can you see the North City Gate, but from the North City Gate, you can even see the official road and the dock further away.

No wonder it comes in handy during times of war.

Returning the telescope to Li Changhui, Lin He asked with a smile: "When are you going to go up the mountain to have a look? Go and see the other palaces and hunting grounds. By the way, Jinrong gave me this jade pendant."

With that said, he took out the jade pendant from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Li Changhui's hand.

"I guess I originally wanted to give this to you. You and Li Hao are the only ones in the family who like hunting. With this jade pendant, you can enter and leave the royal hunting grounds at will."

Cui Yan told her this. Cui Yan was Jinrong's personal maid, so she would definitely not talk nonsense.

Li Changhui was stunned, and gently rubbed the jade pendant with his thumb. It was a piece of fine mutton-fat jade, with only the word "Jin" on it and a mark similar to a seal.

Lin He guessed that this should be a mark representing the royal family. After all, anyone could carve it out and use it.

There is only a royal seal, which cannot be used by anyone except the royal family. It is a crime of beheading.

Lin He noticed something was wrong with Li Changhui's expression and quickly asked: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this jade pendant?"

"That's not true." Li Changhui came back to his senses, smiled and hung the jade pendant around Lin He's neck.

"Actually, this jade pendant belongs to me. At that time, the Da'an Dynasty was not stable. Although my father had many concubines in the harem, he had no intention of having a harem and was focused on government affairs."

"I am the eldest son, and I am a military general from my maternal family. I hold military power. My father also attaches great importance to me. This jade pendant was carved by my father himself when I was born."

"Later, when I left Beijing, I took other things with me and left them all with Jinrong and his brother and sister. I didn't expect that this jade pendant would actually be in Jinrong's hands."

And it seems that Jinrong has always carried this jade pendant with her, and it has become her own keepsake.

After Li Changhui finished speaking, Lin He touched the jade pendant on his chest in surprise.

"In other words, this jade pendant is returned to its original owner?"

"That's right. My father gave me this more than thirty years ago. No one knows about it now. Now that I've given it to you, others will only think that you have a good relationship with Jinrong."

I wouldn't suspect anything else. After all, not many people knew about the eldest son's personal belongings. After all, he didn't need any identity tokens no matter where he went in and out.

Thinking of this, Li Changhui smiled helplessly and shook his head: "I don't know what Jinrong thinks, but she can actually regard this jade pendant as her own token."

He almost wondered if Jin Rong had known that he would return to Beijing and deliberately used this method to allow them to move more freely in the capital.

But thinking about it, it seemed impossible. Their return to Beijing was originally a temporary decision. If it weren't for Lin He's health, they would not have come back here for at least ten years.

Thinking of this, Li Changhui became worried about Lin He's body again.

"It's a little late today. Doctor Liu will come over tomorrow. Let him take a look at your current physical condition."
