Chapter 329: Departure Back to Beijing

It was indeed Qin Xiangnuan's negligence not to prepare a gift for Jiang Lin, but facing Jiang Lin who was staring at her with resentment in his eyes.

Qin Xiangnuan pursed her lips, not knowing how to explain.

"Forget it." Jiang Lin suddenly lost his temper. "It's okay. You brought so many things. I..."

Qin Xiangnuan was already feeling apologetic, and after hearing Jiang Lin say this, she felt even more guilty, so she didn't let him continue.

"I will definitely not forget it next time, just forget it this time." Qin Xiangnuan said.

Jiang Lin also felt that it was not nice to be so fussy, so he slowly closed his mouth and nodded at her.

That night, Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin were lying on opposite sides of a wall, each facing the wall. They could not hear or see anything, but they appeared together in their dreams.

When Qin Xiangnuan opened her eyes the next day, she was still in a daze. She blinked and looked at the curtain above her head before waking up from her dream.

"How can it be so nonsensical?" Qin Xiangnuan sneered and shook her head.

Last night she dreamed that you and Jiang Lin returned to the modern era and appeared at someone else's wedding.

Jiang Lin, dressed in ancient costume, stood tall in the middle, looking around at the unfamiliar scene, feeling helpless.

That was an emotion Qin Xiangnuan believed would never appear in Jiang Lin. Even though they were strangers and knew nothing about each other, Jiang Lin could still resolve all problems.

"What happened in the end?" Jiang Lin listened to Qin Xiangnuan telling about a dream that she thought was a little ridiculous.

"Then I woke up." Qin Xiangnuan shrugged, not very curious about what happened next.

But Jiang Lin's attitude was obviously the opposite of hers. "What's the difference between your marriage back then and now?"

Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan have seen many new things, but he doesn't know how much these things that have been passed down from ancient times have changed.

Qin Xiangnuan couldn't explain this problem in a few words, not to mention that they were still on horseback at the moment, making it even more difficult to explain.

"If possible, I'll take him there to see for myself." Qin Xiangnuan could only answer Jiang Lin like this.

Jiang Lin responded with an "OK".

Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin were heading to the place where Jiang Lin made weapons, but their leisurely manner made it impossible to tell what kind of secret place they were going to.

"Do you still have small conflicts with foreigners now?" Qin Xiangnuan asked.

Jiang Lin turned sideways and said, "There will still be some minor incidents, but they are all within an acceptable range."

But turning around, Jiang Lin continued, "It seems the other party has also learned to keep a low profile. Whether it's King Cheng or King Li, their behavior has been much more restrained recently."

"We still need to be wary of any tricks they might be using behind the scenes," Qin Xiangnuan said. "Fortunately, things are relatively peaceful right now, both inside and outside the city are relatively stable."

Jiang Lin chuckled when he heard this: "I'm afraid it won't be that way soon."

Qin Xiangnuan turned to him, raised an eyebrow, and waited for explanation.

"Gu Mingqi is going back to the capital," Jiang Lin said. "During his absence, there have been some ambitious ministers in the court. When he returns, I'm afraid he'll have to free up his hands to fight them."

"He's been there for quite some time, and it seems he's almost done with his soldiers now." Qin Xiangnuan sneered, "I just wonder if he'll make good use of them."

Jiang Lin sneered, "If he wants to, he has to be able to use it."

Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin neither underestimated nor overestimated Gu Mingqi. At this time, Gu Mingqi was sitting in the carriage returning to Beijing.

"Seventh Prince, you are finally going back to the capital!" Gu Mingqi had his eyes closed to rest, but there was always someone whispering in his ear.

"You're so annoying!" Gu Mingqi complained. "You've said this at least ten times since you met me, if not a hundred times. Don't you know anything else to say besides this?"

The man finally shut up and said nothing. Gu Mingqi, who got no response, frowned, opened his eyes, and glanced at the person sitting upright.

"Are you mute?" Gu Mingqi roared, "You didn't speak when you should, and how could you act on your own when you weren't allowed to speak!"

"Seventh Prince, I..."

"Shut up!" Gu Mingqi was annoyed. "Don't open your mouth. Your voice makes me upset."

The man had no choice but to close his lips again and sit aside with a wronged look on his face. After making sure that Gu Mingqi would not open his eyes, he relaxed his body and leaned his back against something.

Gu Mingqi just felt that this sleep was extremely uncomfortable. Not to mention the unavoidable bumps on the road, but there were always various noises that disturbed him.

"What happened!" Gu Mingqi asked.

"I don't know either." The person next to him said, and before Gu Mingqi's eyes moved to his face, he said, "I'll go down and take a look."

Gu Mingqi raised his chin, meaning: What are you waiting for?

The man hurriedly got out of the car, but when he saw there was only a rabbit lying in front of the car, he felt a little angry.

It was this rabbit that disturbed Gu Mingqi's rest and brought him an unexpected disaster.

"Throw it aside!" the man said casually.

"Yes!" The coachman had originally planned to do so. If no one came out of the carriage, he would have thrown the things away by now.

But no matter what, the rabbit was thrown aside and the carriage passed through the place unimpeded.

When he returned to the carriage, the confusion in Gu Mingqi's eyes had disappeared. "Is this the only way you found for me?"

"Seventh Prince, please calm down." The man quickly calmed down, "I just want to return to the capital as soon as possible."

"One or two days, what's the difference?" Gu Mingqi was puzzled. "I think you don't want me to go back early, you want my life, right?"

After saying this, the other party suddenly fell silent for a moment. It was this moment that made Gu Mingqi instantly alert and looked at the other party in disbelief.

"Who are you?" Gu Mingqi suddenly attacked.

The other party was slow to react for a moment, then suddenly knelt at Gu Mingqi's feet, saying in awe, "Seventh Prince, what do you mean?"

"Don't lie to me, tell me!" Gu Mingqi didn't trust the person in front of him at all at this moment.

"I don't understand what the Seventh Prince means!" The person in front of him was crawling on the ground, not daring to raise his head, as if he was really afraid of Gu Mingqi.

"You don't understand?" Gu Mingqi sneered, then shouted, "Someone come!"

Gu Mingqi's guards arrested the man in an instant. Apart from struggling in vain, the man begged desperately, which made Gu Mingqi waver in his determination that the other party was here to kill him.

"Why didn't you say anything just now?" Gu Mingqi could have killed the man immediately, but he didn't.

It's not that Gu Mingqi is kind-hearted and doesn't want to kill the wrong person, but if he doesn't figure out whether someone really wants to kill him, he will have a hard time taking a step forward after returning to Beijing, and he won't know how many cold arrows will attack him from behind.
