After all, who knows if a surprise attack might suddenly appear? In that case, distant water won't be able to quench the immediate fire, and the emperor doesn't want to be a stepping stone for someone else.
For this important matter, the emperor specially ordered the second prince to suspend the attack on Liuyue Kingdom and transferred all the important troops away.
Tang Jian's plan finally succeeded.
Tang Jian had reported the matter of the treasure map to King Cheng when he returned. Although King Cheng was also tempted by the treasure map, he was also very rational.
Even if Tang Jian brings the treasure map back, they won't be able to protect it. Instead, it will bring huge trouble and draw everyone's hatred towards King Cheng.
They won't be able to solve it no matter what they do then.
It would be better to throw the treasure map out and let those people fight over it. They might even reap the benefits from it behind the scenes.
No matter how bustling the capital is now, it has nothing to do with Ganzhou.
Lin Zao and his family prepared for the New Year in peace, after all, this was the first New Year that their whole family would celebrate together.
It has a different meaning, and the whole family attaches great importance to it.
They also took the children and two wolves to the valley several times, picked a lot of fruit, and caught fish to take home and store for the New Year.
The last time I went there, most of the precious herbs in the valley had been picked. I heard that Doctor Zhang and his fellow disciples picked them themselves.
Hua Nanxing was unaware of these things. After all, Yougu was now considered a secret and important place within the royal palace. As the successor of the Great Medicine Valley, Hua Nanxing would definitely keep the affairs of Yougu a secret from outsiders.
Therefore, Hua Nanxing only knew that Doctor Zhang and Doctor Yuan had collected a lot of herbs. However, because of their relationship, Hua Nanxing also obtained a lot of precious herbs, so he was not too disappointed.
After finishing their work for the day, the household had almost finished preparing everything needed for the New Year.
Lin Zao remembered the hot springs in Furong Town, so she discussed with Tang Jian that the family would go there for a few days and return just in time for the New Year.
The family has been extremely busy lately, and even the children are too busy with their studies at the end of the year to relax. Lin Zao is thinking of taking the family to Tangquanyuan for a relaxing vacation.
Moreover, after the Lantern Festival, she plans to go back to her hometown, Datong Town, since the sacred crystal core that her mother left her might still be there.
She needs to go back and retrieve it as soon as possible, otherwise she won't feel at ease.
This time she planned to go back by herself, without letting Tang Jian accompany her.
After all, if I were to return to Datong Town, it would take about three months to go back and forth, even at the fastest speed.
Tang Jian, as the Grand General of Ganzhou, had already been leniently taken away by the Prince for so long when he went to Yaozhou before. It would be unreasonable for him to leave with her again this time.
Therefore, Lin Zao had no intention of letting Tang Jian go back with her.
Knowing that she would be away for so long after the New Year, Lin Zao cherished the time she had with her family even more.
After listening to Lin Zao's plan, Tang Jian remained silent for a long time. He knew that Lin Zao was right, but he was worried about letting Lin Zao go back alone.
With things so chaotic outside, those with malicious intentions will definitely have designs on Lin Zao, a woman traveling alone.
Even if Lin Zao's ability to protect himself is no less than his, this kind of thing is always impossible to guard against.
Seeing Tang Jian's furrowed brows and worried expression, Lin Zao knew what he was worried about.
Lin Zao raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I have a way to put your mind at ease!"
