Chapter 398 You Didn’t Notice Something Wrong

Inside the carriage.

Prince Linjiang instructed the coachman to deliver a letter to Prince Yan and Prince Jing's residences in Kyoto.

Soon, the King of Linjiang began to touch his hair, muttering: "Hurry up, must hurry up! I should be able to catch up."

King Hengshan, who was resting with his eyes closed, asked: "Why are you so nervous?"

King Linjiang said: "I am afraid that I will be the next King Huainan."

"Ahem!" King Hengshan was shocked by this remark. He glared at the other person and said, "You are crazy, mentioning that person's name here. Are you afraid that your Majesty's Royal Guards and Secret Guards will target you?"

King Linjiang swallowed his saliva and said, "No, no. I only told you in private. After all, that time was really too scary."

After a pause, the King of Linjiang lowered his voice, "That man also went to the capital to participate in a priest ceremony. Then he was charged with treason and exiled. You see, this is very similar to our current situation!"

King Hengshan got goosebumps from what he heard.

He answered subconsciously: "Not like that. That person came to Beijing alone. We came together."

When Prince Linjiang heard this, he became excited and continued, "No. Generally speaking, Prince Yan and Prince Jing were present both that time and this time, and both times Prince Yan and Prince Jing went to the capital to pay homage to the emperor first, and Prince Huainan went to the capital later. So we can't let Prince Yan and Prince Jing pay homage to the emperor before us. We must pay homage together."

The corner of the King of Hengshan's mouth twitched. The emperor did not kill the King of Huainan just because he thought he was late and impolite and judged him as a traitor.

He wondered, "What happens after the meeting?"

King Linjiang said: "After paying respects, let's see what your Majesty thinks of us dukes and kings."

King Hengshan: "...If Your Majesty is not optimistic."

King Linjiang snorted twice, closed his eyes and rested, paused, and said, "I would rather die on the battlefield than live in disgrace."

King Hengshan frowned slightly.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Prince Linjiang suddenly took out a scroll from his arms, handed it to Prince Hengshan, and said, "Come on, help me, let's write it down together later."

King Hengshan did not take the scroll. He looked a little strange and asked, "Why? You also want me to help you record the prices of grain and salt?"

King Linjiang's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, yes! But I don't have grain or salt here, I have merchants coming in and out to trade..."

The more King Hengshan listened, the more he felt it was strange, so he asked, "Why do you remember that?"

Prince Linjiang said indifferently, "I don't know. Maybe my third brother has some urgent need, such as collecting business taxes or something."

King Hengshan's fingers paused.

Because his third brother also gave him a scroll before he left.

The scroll that the third brother gave him was basically about domestic prices. The scroll that the third brother gave to the King of Linjiang was basically about the domestic population. There is nothing wrong with these two scrolls when viewed separately, but if you look at them together.

King Hengshan could hardly hide his panic.

He barely suppressed his inner uneasiness and looked up at Prince Linjiang who was still describing the situation cheerfully.

The King of Hengshan decided to give the King of Linjiang a reminder as well.

He said, "Oh? Third brother not only gave you the scroll, but also gave me one, asking me to help me keep track of food and salt..."

After emphasizing this, the King of Hengshan immediately stared at the expression of the King of Linjiang and asked, "What do you think?"

King Linjiang paused, then slapped his thigh and said, "Okay!"

King of Hengshan:?

Did Prince Linjiang also notice something was wrong?

Prince Linjiang happily handed the scroll to Prince Hengshan again and said, "Great! My third brother has asked you to write something down as well. Why don't you write it down for me and then give it to my third brother! I don't even need to send more people to deliver it. How great! Hahaha!"

King of Hengshan: ...
