Chapter 49: Rain of Literature

The three of them, along with Xu Jingcheng as a burden, quietly followed the carriage all the way.

Not long after, the carriage drove into a remote large mansion.

Lin Shuo looked at it for a moment, then turned to Lin Qian and the others and said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll quietly go in and take a look at the situation."

"Be careful." Lin Qian warned, and Lin Shuo nodded.

"Brother Wei Jing, do you think they are human traffickers?" Lin Qian asked with a frown as she watched Lin Shuo's back disappear in the yard.

Wei Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "It's hard to say. Shuo Shuo just said that there was only one little girl in the carriage. If it was a human trafficker, then one is too few."

Soon, Lin Shuo came back and said solemnly, "They are not human traffickers. I just sneaked into the house and saw that they seem to be soldiers from the Western Regions. I saw the armor on them.

It seems that the little girl's identity is not simple."

Not human traffickers, but soldiers?

Lin Qian immediately realized that something was wrong and looked at Wei Jing.

"They actually kidnapped a Han girl. This must be strange. Do you think this girl could be a family member of a soldier stationed at the border?" Lin Qian asked.

The Western Regions are very close to the grassland, and the two sides have always been at odds. In recent years, they have been harassing the border from time to time.

In addition, the emperor is old and the prince is young.

Lin Qian heard that the current emperor is over sixty years old, but the eldest prince is only fourteen years old this year.

It seems that the Western Regions have other ideas.

At this time, Wei Jing said: "I remember that the one guarding the border was King Ping'an Ge Xingyuan."

Ge Xingyuan is considered Yongyao's god of war. He is the emperor's adopted son, joined the army at the age of sixteen, and became a god of war at the age of twenty.

Later he was named a king of a different surname. After marrying the princess, he has been guarding the border and is regarded as Yongyao's mainstay.

"What should we do now? Should we rescue the girl? If things are as you said, this little girl will be a bargaining chip to threaten King Ping'an." Lin Shuo said.

The four of them were silent for a while, and Wei Jing said, "This matter is of great importance. We must not stand idly by."

Lin Qian also thought so. The border is the strongest fortress against the Western Regions and the herbal soldiers. Once they break through the border, Yongyao will be in danger.

She doesn't want to experience war.

It is also very simple to save the girl. After all, she has the space in her hands, but the secret of the space cannot be exposed. Wei Jing and Xu Jingcheng must be sent away first.

"Shuo Shuo, you have the best martial arts among us, so you stay here and watch and protect the little girl.

Wei Jingge is the smartest. Therefore, Wei Jingge is responsible for reporting the news to Prince Pingan.

Lin Shuo and Wei Jing nodded, then Wei Jing frowned and looked at the innocent-looking Xu Jingcheng and asked, "What about you guys?"

"I'll send Jingcheng back to the inn first, tell the master, and then come to Shuoshuo and wait for you to come back." Lin Qian said.

Wei Jing nodded.

The three of them immediately went their separate ways.

On the way, Xu Jingcheng asked with some annoyance: "Master, am I holding you back? I'm so useless. I can't help you, and I've become a burden."

Lin Qian said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Take good care of your master when you go back. When I come back, I will teach you martial arts."

Xu Jingcheng nodded vigorously immediately: "Okay, I will study hard."

Back at the inn, Meng Yi was already awake. Seeing the two people jumping in through the window, he asked in confusion, "Why did you jump out of the window when there's a safe door?"

Lin Qian spilled the beans from a bamboo tube and told what had just happened.

Meng Yiteng stood up suddenly. He had realized the seriousness of the matter.

He said with a somewhat unhappy expression, "Prince Ping'an and Princess Ping'an were childhood sweethearts. After they got married, there was chaos at the border, and Prince Ping'an and Princess Ping'an went out to fight the enemy together.

After a battle lasting several days, Princess Ping'an was still pregnant and unaware of her pregnancy. She worked tirelessly for days and nights, ultimately leading to a miscarriage, and she suffered a chronic illness from that time on.

After returning to the capital after a great victory, she spent seven or eight years recuperating, changing countless imperial physicians before finally becoming pregnant and giving birth to a daughter. Now this little princess is only eight years old.

Eight years old? Lin Shuo also said that the little girl was about his age. In this case, the girl's identity was most likely the only daughter of King Ping An.

Lin Qian immediately said, "I understand. Shuo Shuo and I will definitely protect this princess well. Master, you stay here and wait for us to come back." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.

Meng Yi quickly grabbed her and worriedly warned, "You two must be careful and stay safe. I'm counting on you to take care of me until the end of my life! Don't die before me."

Lin Qian: “…”

"Master, can you talk less?" It would be better not to say anything, as you start cursing as soon as you open your mouth.

"I understand. You must come back safely. Master is waiting for you!" Meng Yi said it well, but his hands were tightly grasping Lin Qian's clothes and would not let go.

Lin Qian turned around and said seriously: "Master, I really remember this. I will protect myself first, don't worry."

Only then did Meng Yi let go and watched Lin Qian leave.

Xu Jingcheng helped him back to the bed and sat him down, comforting him: "Master, Master and the others are very powerful, don't worry."

Meng Yi nodded, but his eyes still couldn't hide the worry.

Lin Qian soon reunited with Lin Shuo.

The two of them sneaked into the room where the girl was imprisoned.

The girl must have been knocked unconscious and was lying on the cold ground.

"What should we do now? Rescue her first?" Lin Shuo asked.

Lin Qian nodded: "Of course, the reason we sent Wei Jing and the others away was to rescue her." As she said that, Lin Qian brought the girl into the space.

After doing all this, the two were about to go out when they heard footsteps. Lin Qian hurriedly pulled Lin Shuo and hid in the space.

"Where are the people?"

"Oh no, the person ran away!"

The two soldiers were supposed to be delivering food, but when they saw the room was empty, they immediately ran out in shock.

Lin Qian came out of the space again at this time, and immediately ran away.

After running for a long way, Lin Qian was afraid that the girl would wake up, so she let both Lin Shuo and the little girl out.

"Sister, shall we go find Brother Wei Jing now?" Lin Shuo asked while carrying the little girl on his back.

"good."

The two men determined the direction of the military camp and then headed towards it.

Halfway through the journey, the girl opened her eyes and found herself being carried on someone's back.

"Who are you?" the girl asked, her voice was soft and sweet, and it sounded very cute.

Lin Shuo turned around and said to the girl, "It's me. Do you remember us? I saw you were tied up, so I came to save you."

The girl obviously recognized Lin Shuo and immediately thanked him. Although her clothes were a little messy, there was no fear on her face and she spoke in a very gentlemanly manner.

"Thank you, brother and sister, for saving me. My name is Ge Wenyu. My parents call me Xiaoyu. You can call me that, too."
