Second prince?
The second prince again?
What did Prince Wu know?
Lin Che was surprised and looked around subconsciously. There were so many people around.
Is Prince Wu going to say this in front of so many people?
"Your Highness, please tell me clearly. What is it about the Second Prince?" Lin Che pretended nothing had happened and spoke in a low voice.
Prince Wu's sharp gaze fell directly on Lin Che's face, not missing a single expression. At this moment, he seemed very satisfied.
"Only you can do this. You will be going on a diplomatic mission to Yanyun Kingdom in a few days. Please go to the Second Prince's grave and burn a stick of incense on my behalf."
Lin Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Was it really just this?
Prince Wu seemed to be reminiscing. "To be honest, this prince and the Second Prince are definitely the closest. He even lived in my house for a few years when he was little. If you ask who in this world knows him best, I'd say it's definitely me. Hahahaha."
Lin Che had just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly became nervous again.
Lin Che could tell from these two simple sentences that Prince Wu definitely knew that the Second Prince was not dead.
There are only two reasons why a prince would fake his death.
One is to escape and prevent others from hunting him down.
The other was... quietly accumulating strength and planning a rebellion, his goal naturally being the throne.
Otherwise, why would a prince fake his death?
This is really an ominous place. I must run away and stay away from this place of trouble.
"Your Highness, rest assured. You don't need to tell me otherwise. This time, I am on a diplomatic mission to Yanyun Kingdom not only to burn incense for the Second Prince, but also to transport his body back. Let him return to his roots and be buried in the imperial mausoleum."
"Okay, okay. Then I'll wait."
Prince Wu laughed heartily and stopped talking about the Second Prince. Instead, he started chatting about Lin Che's poems and songs.
But Lin Che was already a little absent-minded.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Prince Wu was about to say goodbye and leave. Before leaving, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said:
"Oh, Lin Che. Wait for me before you leave. I have something for you. Please take it to Yanyun Kingdom for me. It's for the Second Prince."
After saying this, without waiting for Lin Che's reply, he called all his subordinates to leave.
This old fox, no matter what he gives, it is definitely a hot potato.
What would be the consequences if Jiang Li knew about this?
What could it be that they brought with them? Should I take a look?
The Second Prince wasn't dead, so why did he keep it a secret for five years? If the Second Prince really considered him his own, he wouldn't have faked his death five years ago. He could have just told him.
More importantly, Gong Chengyin was killed by him.
Is it still possible to go to Yanyun Kingdom?
As for the Yuxu Palace outside the Dagan boundary marker, what are they? Just queue up at the back.
Early the next morning.
Lin Che's three thousand palace soldiers also received the news and rushed over.
"There are still three days left. Your mission is to familiarize yourself with your warhorse."
Lin Che addressed the three thousand palace soldiers, "Let me tell you, these war horses are worth more than you are worth... well, except for Zhou Xianchun. So, you must take good care of your war horses. If you lose them or kill them, I will punish you by military court! Do you understand?"
"clear--"
The three thousand palace soldiers responded in unison, and then, under Lin Che's command, they all rushed to grab the warhorses they had set their eyes on.
After a while, they all mounted their war horses and galloped across the pasture.
They have all served as soldiers and fought on the battlefield, so they are very familiar with war horses. Moreover, they are powerful warriors, so riding war horses is naturally no problem for them.
Uh, except Zhou Xianchun.
Although Zhou Xianchun has some righteous spirit, his cultivation is far inferior to that of other palace soldiers, and he always lags behind in everything he does.
"Zhou Xianchun—you have to keep up. If you fall behind, all three thousand of us will be punished."
Lin Che's words were undoubtedly a bombshell.
Zhou Xianchun was not afraid of being punished. He had already given up. If he was too tired, he would just lie down. But if he implicated others, they would also be punished.
That's different.
How will I survive in the future?
Zhou Xianchun gasped and said, "My Lord—I, I am responsible for my own actions. You can punish me alone. Besides, I just can't keep up now. I will definitely catch up in a few days."
Lin Che smiled and said, "It's good to be confident. But you're all a team. If anyone falls behind, everyone will be punished together."
When the palace guards heard it, they immediately reacted.
Yao Wenkuiye was already giving orders: "The rest of you go help Zhou Xianchun—Captains, keep an eye on your team members. No one can be left behind."
All the team members immediately took action.
Lin Che had observed carefully that as long as he activated the skill "Military Soul", the three thousand palace soldiers would be upgraded to a higher level in just a few breaths, and everyone's cooperation was surprisingly smooth and tacit.
Three thousand palace soldiers charged together, causing a sensation in the entire ranch.
But as long as he doesn't deliberately activate the skill, the effect will be much weaker.
People like Zhou Xianchun will eventually fall behind.
It seems that this skill is the key.
Now that we have war horses, equipment and weapons are also replenished, followed by various dry food and even water.
Lin Che also spent money lavishly. He only asked each soldier to carry ten days' worth of rations, and he had secretly stored the rest in his hidden bag.
Before he knew it, he had only 800,000 yuan left.
"These three thousand people, that's way too much money. It's a bottomless pit."
"It's time to have a farewell party, and it has to be a big one."
"My book 'The Domineering Empress Fell in Love with Me' is a huge hit, but I haven't fully profited from it yet. I'm going on a diplomatic mission anyway, so why not be a bodyguard for the booksellers?"
While Lin Che was pondering, he returned to the Marquis of Guanjun's Mansion.
As soon as he stepped into the mansion, he frowned suddenly. He noticed that there were many pairs of sharp eyes staring at him in the dark.
Who is it?
"Master, you, you are back."
At this time, Xiaoqing saw Lin Che coming back and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Che noticed that Xiaoqing looked unhappy and asked in a low voice.
"Backyard, there are guests in the backyard."
Lin Che nodded calmly and strode towards the backyard.
As I stepped into the round stone gate of the backyard, I saw a beautiful figure in white sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion, leisurely making tea.
It turned out to be Jiang Li.
Lin Che's face showed surprise and joy. She never expected that it was Her Majesty the Empress who had arrived.
He was about to speak when he suddenly saw another person next to the pavilion. The person stood proudly, gazing at the fish swimming in the lake.
This person turned out to be Prince Wu, Jiang Shangwu, whom I had just met yesterday.
The two of them actually appeared here together!
Everyone is waiting for him!
