Chapter 157 Chapter 157 "Okay, I got it, thank you Ye...
Chapter 157
"The martial arts selection has just come to an end, and father has sent you out again." Jing Yue pinched Lin Zhiyi's shoulders and neck, her eyes full of heartache.
In the past month or so, his husband has been extremely tired.
——Every day he goes out early and comes back late, his nerves tense as he faces the young men and middle-aged men who come to the capital to participate in the military examination. He also has to balance the number of new recruits absorbed by the various garrisons in the capital, and even more so, he has to consider the differences between the north and the south, and whether the local soldiers from various states and counties can get along well with the soldiers around the capital.
Hard work.
Fortunately, some of the women who participated in the martial arts selection were taken over by him and Lin Zhiqi, and temporarily stayed in the martial arts hall. After unified large-scale training, they would be assigned to other places as appropriate.
——This batch will be Dayan’s first batch of female soldiers.
Following General Gu and Lin Zhiqi, there will be more female generals appearing.
There will also be more outstanding women emerging and going to any field they want to go to and realize their self-worth.
Of course, the term "self-worth" was told to him by Pianpian.
General Gu and the Lin sisters also proved with their actions that this is feasible.
Although Jing Yue felt distressed, she did not say too much.
If Pianpian likes to do something, just do it boldly.
Pian Pian's great desire was gradually being realized, and he would support her wholeheartedly! How could he interfere?
Lin Zhiyi picked up the teacup and drank the floral tea that Jingyue prepared for her in one gulp. It was thirst-quenching and delicious.
She stretched out her legs, stretching her tired feet, and said with a smile, "This is within our expectations. It's not too difficult to accept, right? Besides, I'm not going alone. Zhou Mingyan will be with me."
Jing Yue complained, "I want to go with you too."
"Everything at the martial arts gym depends on you. Where can you go?"
"Can you please leave it all to Second Sister?"
"She's a very busy person, too. Besides, my eldest sister is about to give birth, my third sister's wedding is approaching, and my fourth sister is also very busy working at the Ministry of Works. We all need my second sister's care and help at home and with my sisters." Lin Zhiyi held Jing Yue's hand and turned to look at him, his peach-shaped eyes full of trust and dependence. "Of course, whether it's my sisters or my parents, they all rely on you for their care. You have a long way to go, Your Highness."
Lin Zhiqi is on duty in the palace and has to take care of the affairs of the martial arts school, so he has very little free time. Therefore, he can only rely on Jingyue.
When Jing Yue heard her soft voice calling him "Your Highness", he had no resistance at all.
He held Lin Zhiyi's hand in his, leaned over and gently kissed the back of her hand: "Leave it to me, don't worry."
Lin Zhiyi stood up, turned around, raised his knees and pressed them on the chair, put his arms around Jingyue's neck, and kissed him directly on the lips: "Thank you, Ayue..."
Jing Yue put one arm around her back to make sure she wouldn't fall off the chair, and held the back of her head with the other hand to deepen the kiss.
Nowadays, the two no longer change bodies when they kiss, because they both like their current identities and careers and don't need to deliberately change bodies to live a misplaced life.
Except for the summer when there are many thunderstorms, the situation is not very controllable and the bodies may be changed frequently. However, after the two have mastered the method of changing bodies, they no longer care about it. They may even enjoy it occasionally and experience a different kind of intimacy and love.
"Do you need me to leave Beijing on your behalf?" Jing Yue asked proactively, considering the issue of the two of them swapping bodies.
Lin Zhiyi thought for a moment and shook his head, "No need. You can control the situation better in the capital. You understand the affairs of the palace better than I do. Besides, I am more familiar with Ming Yan. If you go out with him, I am afraid he will become depressed."
When she was still studying at the Imperial College, Jing Yue's version of her had confused Zhou Mingyan for a long time.
Jing Yue thought about Zhou Mingyan's character and smiled: "Okay, then remember to wear the jade pendant. In case of any emergency, we can use the power of heaven to change the situation."
"Okay, no problem."
Even so, it is not long since the beginning of spring, and there are still at least two months to summer. There are too few thunderstorms, so the possibility of changing is not great.
Unless they stay in Yuzhou longer than expected.
"I don't know where Master Kongnian has gone. We haven't heard from him for a long time. If he is in the capital, in Tianlong Temple, we can ask him to help us tell our fortune in advance." Jing Yue, who used to be the least believer in metaphysics, now can't help but pin his hopes on this.
After all, he has been living with a person from another time and space for almost three years.
I have to believe it.
And the body swap between the two is real.
Today, the development of the Dayan court, he and Pian Pian, the changes in the Lin family, Zhou family, Xie family, etc., have secretly closed Kong Nian's original "maxim".
And... the people who would help them also appeared one by one and surrounded them.
Jing Yue and Lin Zhiyi had also privately analyzed what each of these represented—a leaf, a sword, a bow, a bamboo slip, a pair of... lips and tongue?
'A leaf' must refer to Ye Changning.
'A precious sword'...either General Gu or my second sister.
'A bow', no need to guess, this must be Zhou Mingyan, and it was fulfilled during last year's spring hunting.
The "one bamboo slip" must be referring to Xie Junnuo. He is the most trustworthy among the civil officials - the top scholar, the emperor's close minister, the young talent of the Hanlin Academy - who else could it be if not him?
As for the strange description of "a pair of lips and tongues", the only person they could think of was their fifth brother, Prince Kang Jing Zhuoran.
"He must be afraid of taking responsibility, so after revealing the secret to us, he traveled around and gave charity to reduce the possibility of him being struck by lightning." Lin Zhiyi guessed cunningly.
Jing Yue was amused by her speculation: "It is indeed possible."
"But Master Kong Nian is truly a detached person, like a dragon that can't be seen from head to tail. He acts as he pleases, without any restrictions." Lin Zhiyi still guessed in the best direction, "Perhaps Master Kong Nian is paving the way for us in advance."
"It's amazing that he can take care of himself." Jing Yue didn't believe that Kong Nian could pave any way forward.
This path was paved step by step by him and Pianpian, hand in hand.
Kong Nian just moved his lips.
"That's right, our destiny is in our own hands. We can't rely on others." Lin Zhiyi changed his words.
"Well, be careful about everything. Bring more guards from the mansion." Jing Yue has reminded her almost a hundred times since receiving the order from Emperor Longshun.
"Don't worry. I'll be careful. Ming Yan is here too, and my martial arts skills haven't been neglected. I've even made progress."
"Are you talking about Qinggong?"
"Besides Qinggong, your swordsmanship has also improved a lot. Last time we fought, Mingyan lost to me by two moves. Second sister also lost to me by one move."
Although Jing Yue wanted to say, "That's because they let you go," but seeing the sparkling peach blossom eyes of the person in her arms shining brightly, she finally turned to praise: "Yes, Pianpian is the best."
"Perfunctory." Lin Zhiyi glared at him, got out of his arms, stretched himself, and calculated the date. "I wonder if I can wait until my elder sister gives birth to the baby before I leave Beijing."
"She has the care of an imperial physician and an experienced midwife. Mother also visits her often. The general's wife also loves her dearly, and my brother-in-law treats her like a treasure. There will be no problem, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Yeah." Lin Zhiyi was still worried.
Giving birth is a huge challenge for women.
She couldn't relax.
"And didn't you use the methods you brought to train Big Sister during her pregnancy? Her diet, daily routine, and exercise were all kept very good. She will give birth to the baby smoothly and safely."
"Yeah." Lin Zhiyi said stubbornly, "I also want to see my little nephew or niece before I leave. I wonder if Big Sister will give birth to a boy or a girl."
"Both boys and girls are our treasures."
"That's a must."
The Lin family, the Zhou family, and the in-laws, the Xie family, will surely happily welcome the arrival of this little life.
This is a younger generation.
It is the more distant future of Dayan.
Lin Zhiyi did not live to see the birth of the baby. She and Zhou Mingyan followed the emperor's will and set off for Yuzhou on the tenth day of April.
Emperor Longshun handed over the finishing touches of the Beijing Martial Arts Selection to Prince Kang Jing Zhuoran.
Lin Zhiyi and Jingyue had already prepared for their separation, so they weren't particularly reluctant to leave. She simply urged Jingyue to be careful in Beijing.
Now that they have entered the game, if they are not careful, they may very likely end up on a road full of thorns.
Lin Zhiyi leaned over and kissed Jingyue's forehead one last time: "After my elder sister gave birth to Linzi, Feiyuan sent a letter to tell me."
The Ministry of Works’ flying kites are used to deliver messages, and they are very efficient.
——During the days when Xu Xingzhi and Chi Huaimin were still in the capital, Lin Zhiyi, Lin Zhihua and Xie Junxing discussed and discussed with them, expressing their own opinions. In this way, they created several sets of cryptographic systems to encrypt the information sent by Feiyuan.
Only you know how to decipher and reply.
Now that the Ministry of Works has put the flying kite messaging system into use, only a few people have set up passwords.
Lin Zhiyi and others were of course the first group to try it out.
"Okay. I'll tell you right away." Jing Yue held her hand, his eyes full of affection, and finally let go a little bit.
Lin Zhiyi said goodbye to his parents, hugged his second, third and fourth sisters, said a few words to each of them, then got on his horse and set off for Yuzhou.
The accompanying guards followed in a well-trained manner.
Zhou Mingyan had already said goodbye to his family. He and Lin Zhiyi galloped side by side and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Ayue, do you want to stay at our house for a few days?" Lin Zhiqi asked.
Jing Yue thought about it and agreed: "Okay."
It’s just the right time to know when my elder sister is about to give birth.
It also saved him from returning to the princess's mansion and facing the empty rooms, and being reminded of her by the things she saw.
Lin Zhiyi and Zhou Mingyan were accompanied by a total of fifty guards on this trip.
After all, it is a secret visit, so it is not appropriate to bring too many people.
However, Jing Yue arranged another fifty people to follow secretly.
This group of people was led by Yousan.
As for Youyi, he was among the fifty guards around Pianpian.
I hope everything goes well on this trip.
Just as Lin Zhiyi and Zhou Mingyan's team left the city gate, Ye Changning returned from outside the city with seven or eight constables.
As soon as the two teams met, Ye Changning was the first to tighten the reins of his horse, his eyes quickly swept across Lin Zhiyi's face, and then he turned over and dismounted. The detectives also dismounted in unison as they were well-trained and saluted the prince consort.
"Brother Ye, how come you've become as polite as Brother Xie? Get up quickly." Lin Zhiyi and Zhou Mingyan dismounted together and went forward to help Ye Changning.
Ye Changning lowered his eyes slightly, then looked directly at Lin Zhiyi after a moment and said, "Xiuyuan... Mingyan, please be careful on your way."
"Brother Ye, where did you go to handle the case?" Zhou Mingyan greeted curiously.
"Qianzhou."
"No wonder I haven't seen you recently." Lin Zhiyi said, "Brother Ye, you should do more work if you are capable."
"Xiu Yuancai is even more capable and should do more work. The results of the military selection have just come out, and we have to rush to Yuzhou without stopping." Ye Changning whispered, "When walking on mountain roads, be sure to watch out for falling rocks on both sides. There is also occasional miasma in the forest, so don't take it lightly. There will always be antidotes within three or five steps of poisonous snakes and poisonous plants. It's best to tie up your cuffs and boots..."
He had extensive experience in handling cases outside, and at this moment he was eager to tell Lin Zhiyi all the precautions.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Brother Ye, for sharing your experience. I have benefited a lot from it."
