Chapter 275 Concubine Lin, take care
Lin Xiafeng told the prince at the time that she would be able to help him deal with Ling Jingxuan within a month at the latest, but the people from the Cangshan Sect were obviously more efficient than she imagined.
At this time last year, Ling Jingxuan had been working to help several major rice-producing provinces in the south obtain relief grain from the imperial court, and also helped them reduce taxes, saying that the disaster had severely affected the people and they were unable to get enough food.
At that time, she felt something was wrong from her conversation with him, but Ling Jingxuan never told her in detail, so she didn't think much about it.
Who could have imagined that after the death of the previous emperor, he got a large number of well-equipped and well-trained private armies from somewhere, and seized the initiative in a fight with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the palace gate, catching the Crown Prince off guard.
"So many people, they didn't just fall from the sky!"
Ling Jingxuan is a person who does things flawlessly. She used to think it was not easy to find some loopholes from his words and deeds.
But when she realized that Ling Jingxuan didn't love her, she felt that everything about this person was a problem and full of scheming!
The more she read, the colder she felt, and the more she read, the more she felt that she had really died of stupidity in her previous life!
"I clearly had so many opportunities to fight back. I could have easily killed Ling Jingxuan first, so why didn't I notice his obvious weaknesses before?"
Thinking about it now, Lin Xiafeng still felt a tight pain in his chest, and was filled with indignation. "Fortunately, God has mercy on me, and I can start over again!"
If Ling Jingxuan wants to raise such a large private army, he first needs people, then money, and then a place to train the army. This place must be secret and far away from Yulin City!
So Lin Xiafeng analyzed each one of them one by one and felt that the flood in the south was the most likely thing that he was taking advantage of!
Although she thought so, the south was so far away that it would take more than a month to travel back and forth, not to mention investigating such a secret matter.
How could she, an unmarried woman, check?
For such an important matter, she was afraid of any mistakes and Ling Jingxuan would find out about it, so she took precautions in advance. That's why she didn't even tell the prince. How could she hand it over to someone else with confidence?
Originally, she wanted Zheng Mingxuan and the others to go, but they were in the Yanling Army and it was impossible for them to leave the barracks for such a long time, so she had to give up!
After going around in circles for half a year, Mo Dacheng was finally willing to accept the martial arts sect left by Luo Haode, and she finally had her own power.
Mo Dacheng was still a little shy and not close to the people from Cangshan Sect, but Lin Xiafeng was not polite at all.
Under the pretext of helping them enlighten Mo Dacheng and promote mutual understanding, she accompanied Mo Dacheng to meet the two guardians of the sect many times, and even became a mouthpiece between the two sides.
The two men had life-and-death friendship with Luo Haode. When they were about to rob the execution ground, it was Luo Haode himself who refused. However, he told them Mo Dacheng's true life experience, hoping that they would take care of him for his sake.
If it weren't for Luo Haode's instructions, would the Cangshan Sect have had the audacity to seek out Mo Dacheng, a teenager, as its leader?
I don’t know how the two protectors convinced the disciples of the sect. Anyway, they knew about Mo Dacheng’s identity. Even Mo Dacheng himself didn’t know it. The other people in the sect only knew that Mo Dacheng was the only disciple of the former master.
In this way, Lin Xiafeng became Mo Dacheng's spokesperson in the Cangshan Sect. Mo Dacheng listened to whatever she said, so that the two guardians also obeyed her orders.
Lin Xiafeng asked them to go to the south to check on the living conditions of the people and to trace the whereabouts of the relief grain during last year's floods. They actually went to investigate seriously!
However, Lin Xiafeng would not be so foolish as to let people know that she was trying to help the prince kill Ling Jingxuan. Instead, she was doing it for the sake of the people and exposing the ugly face of the prince of the dynasty who exploited the people and intercepted the disaster relief grain funds.
The martial arts sects had always been at odds with the royal nobles, so they were naturally very happy to have such a good opportunity to go against a prince.
Not only did they investigate in person, they even went deep into Huxue and sent several people to go undercover and join Ling Jingxuan's private army.
In fact, this was also Ling Jingxuan's own problem. He had been in the martial arts world before and made a group of friends there. When he formed this private army, he asked those friends to be coaches.
In this case, those people would naturally help him to develop this team. In addition to accepting young and strong refugees and ordinary people with extremely simple interpersonal relationships, they would also accept those desperate criminals with no families or children in the world.
Therefore, as long as the Cangshan Sect finds a way, it is not difficult to send a few people in.
When he arrived at the military camp, he got the exact address where Ling Jingxuan was training the troops. On October 12, Lin Xiafeng got the news. Not only did he get the address, but he also knew the exact number of people there was 13,000!
This is more people than she saw in her previous life!
Dugu Yu's Yanling Army only has 5,000 soldiers, which is enough to shock everyone and make people tremble with fear. Ling Jingxuan has more than 10,000 people in one place. Who knows if he has other strongholds.
But it doesn't matter whether it exists or not. As long as the evidence of these 13,000 people is used properly, it will be enough to make Ling Jingxuan unable to turn over in his life!
Lin Xiafeng looked at the evidence in front of her with satisfaction. It was a pity that her medicine was not ready yet. What if Dugu Yu jumped out to make trouble again and helped Ling Jingxuan get rid of the crime?
And that extremely annoying Qin Qingyao, she must know all these things. If she helps Ling Jingxuan think of a way to escape at that time, wouldn’t all her efforts be in vain?
Although Lin Xiafeng wanted to send Ling Jingxuan to hell immediately, she endured it for two days for safety reasons. Before handing the evidence to the prince, she went to meet someone first.
In the northwest corner of Yulin City, there is a private mansion covering a very large area. It has carved beams and painted buildings and overlapping corridors, which show the beauty of the garden to the fullest. There is also a very large bamboo forest inside.
At this time, the owner of this mansion was burning incense and playing the piano in the bamboo forest, looking very happy.
This palace is so large, yet it seems deserted. There are hardly any people around. Lin Xiafeng walked into the bamboo forest with lotus steps and went straight to the side of the person playing the zither. "Greetings, Military Advisor. Your zither skills really put me to shame!"
"Is there anything wrong, Concubine Lin?"
"There is indeed a very important matter that I need to discuss with the military advisor."
"If you don't listen, Concubine Lin, take care."
Lin Xiafeng gritted his teeth and controlled his legs that were trying desperately to walk out. Damn Murong Ce, he always looks like he deserves a beating. After I deal with Ling Jingxuan and Qin Qingyao, you'll be next!
Not only did she not leave, she also stood in front of Murong Ce and placed the evidence that had not yet been shown to the prince in front of Murong Ce.
"This is the address where His Royal Highness Prince Duan secretly trains his private army in the south. It also includes the exact number of troops, equipment, approximate monthly expenses, and a list of key figures."
Mo Rongce, "Not interested."
Lin Xiafeng frowned, "Why aren't you surprised at all? Did you know this a long time ago?"
"What's it to you?"
Lin Xiafeng felt a lump in his chest, nearly choking to death. Why in this world could there be someone more disgusting than Qin Qingyao?!
"Military Advisor Murong! I don't understand why you would help the Crown Prince, but since you chose him, that means you don't want Prince Duan to continue to be so arrogant, right?"
"You know how self-righteous and stubborn that fool, the Crown Prince, is. He only listens to you right now. I have no choice but to ask for your help. Otherwise, he might mess up even this easy task!"
"Let's not even mention how much effort I put into obtaining this exact data. Prince Duan is incredibly cunning. How many handles could he possibly leave behind? If I let him get away with it again this time, how else can I make him disappear from this world?"
Mo Rongce stopped his hands on the strings and suddenly laughed. This laugh made Lin Xiafeng confused. Did she say something funny?
Mo Rongce laughed because Lin Xiafeng said that the prince was a fool. This might be the only thing he would agree with Lin Xiafeng in his life.
But I didn't expect that after they were such a handsome and beautiful couple and now they have gone their separate ways, she actually wanted Ling Jingxuan to disappear so much?
Where did this desire, which was more urgent than that of the prince, and the deep hatred revealed in every look, come from?
Forget it. Anyway, he has no interest in what happens between Lin Xiafeng and Ling Jingxuan. It would be better to help the prince eliminate the biggest threat as soon as possible, so that these annoying guys won't always disturb his peace.
"I will give these things to the prince, you can go now."
Lin Xiafeng immediately took those things back and said, "Military Advisor, you misunderstood. I will hand these things over to the prince myself."
"Oh, goodbye." Haha, if you are reluctant to give up this credit, why are you coming here to show off?
Lin Xiafeng pretended not to hear and continued smiling. "I need the military advisor to tell the Crown Prince how to proceed this time. Everything depends on me. Also, in the next few days, I hope Dugu Yu and Qin Qingyao can leave Yulin City. The longer the better!"
Mo Rongce just looked at Lin Xiafeng, but his meaning was very clear, who are you? Why should I listen to you?
In fact, at this moment, Lin Xiafeng was also feeling very insecure. The only person in the world who made her feel uneasy and completely out of control was Murong Ce.
He always looked cold and aloof, and even refused the official position offered to him by the emperor. Everyone thought that he was indifferent to fame and fortune and had no ambition to serve in the court.
In the past, when Ling Jingxuan wanted to win him over, he never gave her a good face, so she often suffered humiliation in front of him.
But who could have imagined that such a noble and aloof person would willingly become a minister under the Crown Prince? Who could he turn to for justice?
Talented people have really unique tastes!
