Chapter 337: Finding a Replacement
"They are here to look for me." Qin Xiangnuan whispered into Jiang Lin's ear.
Jiang Lin nodded, but he didn't understand why the other party came to him so blatantly. Suddenly, Jiang Lin thought of something, turned his head and said to Qin Xiangnuan in the same way.
"Don't they know I'm in the carriage?"
The warm breath brought a sense of itchiness. Qin Xiangnuan shrank her neck, and then she understood. She opened her eyes slightly and nodded.
While they were whispering to each other, there was a continuous knock on the door, which continued to indicate to Qin Xiangnuan that they came here to discuss something.
Qin Xiangnuan wanted to hear what their plans were, but Jiang Lin was in the carriage and it was inconvenient for him to let them in.
"I have agreed with someone on a time to go back. You go first, and I will come to find you at night." Qin Xiangnuan said.
The person outside thought for a moment and agreed to Qin Xiangnuan's request.
After the noise outside died down, Qin Xiangnuan looked outside tentatively, but the other party had already disappeared and the driver had fainted.
Qin Xiangnuan pulled the driver into the carriage, looked up at Jiang Lin and said, "Stay inside and don't come out."
Jiang Lin agreed.
After returning to the mansion, Jiang Lin did not get out of the car immediately, deceiving the foreign spies. After the time came, the other party successfully met up with Qin Xiangnuan.
"What are you here for today?" Qin Xiangnuan asked proactively.
King Yin Cheng told them that even though Qin Xiangnuan was most likely a foreigner, they should not be careless until her identity was confirmed.
Therefore, they still have to win over Qin Xiangnuan. No matter who sends the person, they will only help King Cheng.
"Is this young man willing to serve our master?"
They used threats and inducements, but since Qin Xiangnuan disagreed, they would not kill her to silence her this time.
"I still hope you will give it more consideration. When the time comes, whatever gold, silver, and jewelry you want, we, King Cheng, will grant it to you."
Qin Xiangnuan still refused them and returned home unharmed.
"That King Cheng hasn't given up on you yet." Jiang Lin followed Qin Xiangnuan, expressing his strong dissatisfaction with King Cheng.
Qin Xiangnuan turned around and saw Jiang Lin looking normal, but at first sight she felt that his face was full of sarcasm, so she laughed.
"He has stuffed so many people on your side, but you haven't accepted any of them. I would also like to make the people around you my own. It would be a waste if you don't use the ones that are already there." Qin Xiangnuan said.
Jiang Lin sneered, "That would require him to have the ability to take all my people in."
Obviously, King Cheng does not have that ability now. When he received the news of Qin Xiangnuan's rejection, King Cheng was not angry. If Qin Xiangnuan agreed too quickly, it would make King Cheng feel that it was a trap.
"You continue to negotiate with that person. Also, go find someone who looks like that man." King Cheng laughed. "Men are all lustful. I don't believe a prince can be so loyal."
Jiang Lin didn't care whether others believed it or not. Qin Xiangnuan was visited by Cheng Wang's men twice. How could Jiang Lin just tolerate it? He had to find something for Cheng Wang to do.
Only in this way can he calm his anger.
"King Cheng, another woman has been sent in from outside."
Listening to his subordinates' report, King Cheng curled up his lips into a cold smile. It seemed that Jiang Lin had already learned about their plan to look for Qin Xiangnuan.
Jiang Lin's actions now can be regarded as a reciprocity of courtesy.
"King Cheng, should this be thrown out as well?" The subordinate stood aside waiting for King Cheng's instructions.
King Cheng waved his hand and told the matter to be handled as usual. He thought that he had sent so many men to Jiang Lin in the past, and this was only the third one Jiang Lin had sent, so it was still tolerable.
"Prince Jiang, the people we sent were driven out before they even entered the enemy's camp."
Jiang Lin didn't care how Cheng Wang would react. He waved his hand nonchalantly, "Since the other party didn't even take a look, there's no need to find so many people. Just this one person can go back and forth."
"?" The person who reported raised his head and stared at Jiang Lin, as if he didn't understand what he meant.
Jiang Lin noticed his gaze, looked over casually, and repeated it with his lips slightly opened.
The person in front of him nodded blankly, "I understand. I'll arrange it right away."
Jiang Lin nodded, "Remember to treat this girl well, and let me know if anything happens."
The other party was even more confused now, but he also accepted Jiang Lin's unconventional approach and nodded in agreement.
Qin Xiangnuan has been staying with Jiang Lin these days, so Cheng Wang's men have no chance to find Qin Xiangnuan again, but they have made progress on another matter.
"Similar, but also very different." King Cheng touched his chin and looked up and down at the man who was brought in front of him.
"King Cheng, it is really not easy to find such a similar person. Why don't we..." God knows how much manpower it would take to find such a person in the crowd.
Just this person who only slightly resembled Qin Xiangnuan had already made them exhausted.
"Is this how you do things?" King Cheng threw down his hands and glared at them fiercely. "Now that you can't find the person, do you still want to blame me for making you work too hard?"
"I dare not, I dare not!"
"Go down." King Cheng was annoyed when he saw them. After so long, he only found someone who looked only half the same. He was so incompetent.
King Cheng gave an order and everyone had to go out. King Cheng saw that the impostor was about to leave and called out to stop him.
"Who allowed you to leave?" King Cheng stood where he was, watching the other party slowly turn around, his eyes full of fear.
Even less like it.
In fact, King Cheng had never seen Qin Xiangnuan. He only saw the portrait, but he was sure that the person in the painting would never have the timid expression of the person in front of him.
Not to mention that Jiang Lin was interested in Qin Xiangnuan, if he had been neither humble nor arrogant and had not compromised in front of the person sent by King Cheng, the other party would definitely not be in this state.
"Do you know why you were called here?"
Fortunately, there was one thing about the person in front of him that satisfied King Cheng, and that was that he treated him kindly.
The man in front of him lowered his head and shook it, "I was captured by you."
He sounded a little aggrieved, and he really was. He was just an inconspicuous soldier. While he was on patrol, he met a few people who came towards him with surprise on their faces.
He didn't know the other party was coming for him, so he moved a few steps to the side, but was grabbed by the wrist.
After being caught, before he could even struggle, he heard them muttering, "Looks like, I haven't seen anything so similar in the past few days."
Then he appeared before King Cheng.
King Cheng did not answer for him and asked again, "Have you ever been married?"
The other party shook his head. King Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and continued, "Are you willing to serve my foreign country?"
The man with his head lowered did not respond for a long time, and King Cheng's face became embarrassed.
