Chapter 473 Brother Xiaojing, take me with you
The dark, winding path was silent as the two walked side by side.
After a long silence, Ye Jingtian sighed softly and put his arm around Ye Jingzhen's shoulders.
Ye Jinghua's words just now must have touched his sore spot, even though Ye Jingzhen still had the same icy face as always.
He knew that his brother hated Ye Cangling, but it was true that in the deepest and most hidden corner of Ye Jingzhen's heart, he longed for fatherly love, which was also true.
Ye Jingzhen had longed for it, but never got it, so he no longer longed for it.
"My father and Ye Jinghua must have agreed on something." Ye Jingzhen suddenly said, breaking the silence between the two.
"Yes," Ye Jingtian responded, "It's true that I want to attack Nanlin, and it's also true that I want you to join forces..."
Even his words about letting him succeed to the throne were true, except for his sincerity towards Ye Jingzhen.
He didn't say the following, but Ye Jingzhen understood.
"The great wizard is dead. I'm afraid the only one who can help him fulfill his wish is the snake wizard beside Ye Jinghua." Ye Jingzhen said.
Ye Jingtian nodded. "So, he agreed to Ye Jinghua's request to let you two attack Nanlin together? And, he also gave him the 'Geographical Records'?"
Ye Jingzhen: "Ye Cangling is probably obsessed with how to resurrect his mother right now. He has no mood to think about anything else. He will agree to whatever Ye Jinghua asks, as long as Ye Jinghua can help him resurrect his mother."
"And Ye Jinghua, of course, wants to take advantage of this attack on Nanlin to attack me. If I die on the battlefield, everything will be reasonable and logical. However..."
Ye Jingtian replied at the right moment: "It's just that he has some wishful thinking."
The book "Geographical Records" is fake and will not help Ye Jinghua. It will only make it difficult for him to cross the jungle and cross the mountains to Nanlin.
Some people even died here.
Do you really think that Ye Jinghua is the only one who is capable of these conspiracies and tricks?
Ye Jingzhen curled his lips and smiled. He had been preparing his plan for a long time, and it was time to put it into practice.
"Then the affairs of the palace will be left to my royal brother," said Ye Jingzhen.
Ye Jingzhen smiled and said, "Of course, Jinzhi and I will definitely stabilize the situation in the palace."
Be careful?
Yun Jinzhi, Yun Chengfu.
Ye Jingzhen was in a daze for a moment: "When did my royal brother become so close to Yun Jinzhi?"
"You are a military official, you have been fighting on the frontier for many years, so naturally you don't know the situation in the court." Ye Jingtian shook his head and chuckled, "Jinzhi is a talented person with great potential. Not long after he became a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, I mentioned it to the old Prime Minister."
Ye Jingzhen also laughed: "My royal brother has a keen eye for talent. It turns out that he had planted the seeds so long ago."
"Of course. You're out there helping me eliminate dissidents. How could I stay in the palace and do nothing?"
At this point, Ye Jingtian seemed to recall something: "You said that the book 'Geographical Records' was a fake, but do you still have the real book?"
"It's already burned. I took a few glances at it. When the old man gave it to me, I was fighting outside and didn't have time to take a closer look. I gave it to Ranran when I came back."
Knowing what Ye Jingtian was worried about, Ye Jingzhen comforted him, "It's nothing, just ask Ran Ranmo to give it to me when you get back."
"Why bother with so much trouble? Brother Xiaojing can just take me with him."
Suddenly, a female voice as clear as a silver bell rang out.
Ye Jingzhen was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was Yun Ran's voice.
The palace lanterns in front were dim, and a small figure gradually emerged from the shadows.
"Wow, Miss Yun's steps are so light." Ye Jingtian smiled and praised.
He was so engrossed in his conversation with Jingzhen just now that he didn't notice it.
Yun Ran lifted her skirt and bowed to the two of them: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Young Prince Jing'an."
Ye Jingzhen stared at the pretty figure under the dim light and did not speak for a while.
Ye Jingtian quickly said, "Get up, we are all family, no need to be so formal."
Yun Ran then stood up and said softly, "Thank you, Your Highness."
At this time, half of Ye Jingzhen's face was hidden in the shadow of the night, and it was not very clear.
Yun Ran didn't know if he was a little unhappy.
"How did you get in?" Ye Jingzhen asked, his voice slightly cold.
At this hour, the palace was under curfew and the palace gates were already closed.
"Go up there." Yun Ran made a gesture of climbing over the eaves and walls with his hands.
"You are quite courageous."
Yun Ran quietly raised her eyes to look at him and stuck out her tongue: "This won't happen again."
"You want it to happen again?" Ye Jingzhen sighed and reached out to pull her to his side.
The little girl was wearing a black nightgown, which was a bit thin, but had a good concealing effect. If Yun Ran had not spoken just now, he would hardly have noticed it.
Ye Jingzhen took off his outer robe and put it on Yun Ran.
The outer robe was not thick, but it still retained his warm breath, a faint, cool fragrance that was pleasant and refreshing.
Yun Ran sniffed and knew that Ye Jingzhen was no longer angry.
Ye Jingtian looked at the two of them silently, with an unconcealable smile on his lips.
Yun Ran is the person Jing Zhen truly likes, and he is very satisfied with her.
He had met Yun Ran once many years ago. At that time, Yun Ran was still a soft and sticky little ball. Now, in the blink of an eye, she has grown into a graceful young lady. Time flies so fast.
He sighed alone, and Yun Ran had already spoken: "I didn't sneak into the palace on a whim."
"A few days ago, I went to the market in the morning and met a man from Nanlin. Later, I asked another person who was also at the morning market and learned that quite a few people from Nanlin were wandering around Kuizhou these days.
There are so many people from Nanlin for no apparent reason. They chose Kuizhou City, the closest city to Linjing City, instead of going anywhere else. They are most likely spies from Nanlin."
Having said that, Yun Ran looked up at Ye Jingzhen.
Ye Jingzhen raised his eyebrows and waited for her to continue.
Yun Ran said, "So I guessed there might be a war, Brother Xiao Jing, I guessed right."
"Take me with you when you attack Nanlin this time. I've memorized the Geographical Records, and I can lead you by the shortest and safest route, reaching Nanlin Royal City before Ye Jinghua."
But Ye Jingzhen's face gradually darkened.
"My master helped me transform the dragon beard noodles, and it is very delicious now." Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yun Ran said again.
Ye Jingzhen: ...
"I asked the King, and he said it was boring staying in Kuizhou, and he also wanted to go with me to the land of Nanlin."
Ye Jingzhen: ...
"Master sent me a letter. He heard about the upcoming war and sent a lot of people from Xuantian Pavilion over. He said they would protect the Yun family and told me not to worry."
Ye Jingzhen: ...
"Since Senior Yibanlian and Pavilion Master Nan have agreed, let's just agree to it." Ye Jingtian shook his head and chuckled.
Ye Jingzhen sighed and held Yun Ran's hand tighter.
These two are just watching the fun and never mind making trouble!
Yun Ran is his wife! He hasn't even opened his mouth yet, but Nan Xuan and Yibanlian, that old woman, have already agreed on his behalf?
It seems that these two old guys are so bored that their bones are itching and they deserve to be punished!
Besides, what's going on with the lonely king?
Even a wolf knew before him that Yun Ran wanted to join him in attacking Nanlin!
When he lowered his head, he saw the little girl looking up at him with burning eyes.
Ye Jingzhen's heart softened immediately, and he said with a slight smile: "Okay."
