Chapter 227 Grandfather Lin Qingshan
It was Lin Zhiqing's first time leaving Shengjing and he was in a good mood.
But when she thought about the purpose of her trip to Bianliang, her happiness diminished a little.
Lin Yangyang had no idea what Lin Zhiqing was thinking. Along the way, she was like a bird that had flown out of a cage, as free as she could be.
However, this freedom came to an abrupt end during the continuous journey.
This time, in addition to Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang, they also brought six bodyguards.
These six guards are all elders of the Lin family.
Lin Yangyang rode a horse at first, but later, fearing that Lin Zhiqing would be bored, she returned to the carriage.
After leaving Shengjing City, Lin Yangyang was still discussing the scenery outside the window with Lin Zhiqing.
But Lin Zhiqing opened the bundle and took out some cakes and pastries that Aunt Mu had stuffed in.
Lin Yangyang scratched her head. "Sister Qing, you're already hungry just after we set out?"
Lin Zhiqing shook his head: "You should also pack your things quickly, and we will change horses and leave."
"Ride a horse? Not take a carriage?" Lin Yangyang was a little confused.
"No, I don't know how to ride a horse. Can you take me with you?" Lin Zhiqing put away the gold and silver jewelry and some hidden weapon powder.
"Of course that's no problem." Lin Yangyang answered without even thinking: "But why?"
Why?
That's a good question.
After the Jiang Liuyun incident, Lin Zhiqing became more cautious than before.
Because Jiang Liuyun had been hiding beside her from the beginning, she did not recognize Jiang Liuyun.
This was a big mistake, and it also served as a wake-up call for her.
Firstly, it was impossible for her to have complete control over everything, so she could only be more cautious than before.
Secondly, Jiang Liuyun's disguise was more perfect than anyone she had ever met before.
Such a person who can deceive everyone and control everything, he stands opposite Lin Zhiqing, making Lin Zhiqing dare not slack off at all.
Although Lin Zhiqing felt that there was nothing wrong with the timing of going to Bianliang, she was not sure whether Jiang Liuyun could see the problem.
If Jiang Liuyun could see her real purpose of going to Bianliang, then she and her cousin would be in danger.
Lin Zhiqing had no way to completely rule out this possibility, so he could only try his best to avoid danger.
It was well known that she could not ride a horse.
If you want to go to Bianliang, taking the water route is a long way around, so a horse-drawn carriage is the best choice.
Lin Zhiqing was afraid that someone would kill her and Lin Yangyang along the way.
Even though Lin Yangyang's martial arts skills were strong enough, Lin Zhiqing still didn't dare to expose such a big flaw in front of others.
Who knows if Jiang Liuyun has any hidden strength?
Who knows if Jiang Liuyun will spread false news, saying on the surface that he will return to Shengjing in half a month, but in fact he has already ambushed them along the way?
Lin Zhiqing is never afraid of being wrong; what she fears is that she is not thinking enough.
Taking all these reasons into consideration, we definitely cannot continue to ride this carriage, and we definitely cannot continue along the original route.
But she couldn't tell Lin Yangyang all these words.
Apart from anything else, Lin Yangyang is too proud.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhiqing told a half-truth: "Who knows, someone might attack us halfway. For safety's sake, let's take another route."
"On the other hand, we need to ride faster. We should go and come back early to avoid any trouble in Shengjing."
"Oh~" Lin Yangyang didn't doubt Lin Zhiqing's words at all, and she simply packed her luggage.
Then, Lin Zhiqing saw her throw out all the clothes that Xiao Cui had folded and put a bunch of strange-shaped weapons in.
"Be careful not to hurt yourself." Lin Zhiqing stuffed two more pieces of clothing into the bag.
Worrying about Lin Yangyang getting hurt was one thing, but the main thing was that the bag was too obvious.
After packing his luggage, Lin Zhiqing exchanged glances with a leading guard, and then got out of the carriage under the pretext of going to the bathroom.
Not long after, Lin Yangyang came with a horse. She asked everyone to go first while she went to find Lin Zhiqing.
So, after the two met up, they immediately took a shortcut towards Bianliang.
After walking for a day, Lin Zhiqing did not feel well.
I have to say, this horse is not something that ordinary people can ride.
Even though she had prepared a cushion in advance, and even though the person riding the horse was Lin Yangyang, she still felt the pain in her legs while sitting in the back.
But there was no way around it, she was racing against time with Jiang Liuyun.
Two days later, Bianliang City.
As they were about to enter the city, Lin Yangyang helped Lin Zhiqing off the horse.
As soon as the two of them entered the city, Lin Yangyang turned her head, intending to observe her surroundings.
But when her eyes fell on a man, she became a little excited.
Lin Zhiqing's gaze quickly shifted over. It was an old man full of vigor and vitality, accompanied only by an old servant.
At a glance, Lin Zhiqing recognized him. He was the once powerful Marquis of Changning - Lin Qingshan.
In addition to having some similarities between his features and those of his second grandfather Lin Qingshou, he also has a special temperament.
Lin Zhiqing couldn't describe that kind of temperament, but he had seen it in Jiang Liuyun.
Of course, it’s not a villain temperament.
Rather, both of them have killed enemies on the battlefield, and they have a sense of seriousness and calmness.
At this moment, he was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at Lin Yangyang with eyes full of love.
That was the kindness of an elder towards a younger generation, which Lin Zhiqing had seen in the eyes of the Grand Secretary's wife.
But soon, his eyes moved from Lin Yangyang to Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing immediately mobilized his eye muscles to keep a slightly smiling but confused look in his eyes.
This time, there was not only kindness in the man's eyes, but also a kind of... emotion?
Before Lin Zhiqing could take a closer look, Lin Yangyang couldn't help but waved in the direction of the man:
"grandfather!"
It really is Lin Qingshan!
In Dasheng, "Grandpa" is generally a colloquial term. In formal occasions, grandfather is usually called grandfather.
After all, Lin Qingshan's identity is Marquis of Changning, and the title of grandfather is more in line with his identity.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing opened his mouth: "Grandfather!"
"Yangyang, Zhiqing, you have all grown up." Lin Qingshan said with some emotion.
Lin Yangyang was confused: "Why are you waiting for us here?"
Logically, the carriage should still be on its way.
In other words, no one knew that Lin Yangyang and Lin Zhiqing had changed their way of riding horses to rush to Bianliang.
Hearing this question, Lin Qingshan looked at Lin Zhiqing, but he didn't say much. He just asked the two of them to go back home.
Lin Zhiqing can actually answer Lin Yangyang's question.
She had figured out a way to escape long ago and passed the message to Lin Qingshan.
The reason is very simple. If something really happened to them on the way, if someone knew the time of their arrival, they would not be left with nothing to cry out for help.
Now it seems that the message she sent and the letter in which Lin Qingshan said he wanted to see her were obviously mismatched.
However, although the processes were staggered, the ending was a two-way journey.
