Chapter 333 Undercurrents
"It's dangerous there."
Lin Zhishen looked at her quietly and whispered.
He didn't like that place of intrigue and deception, but he was destined to be unable to get rid of this responsibility when he used this identity. He couldn't just abandon the group of people who protected him loyally.
"I know." Lin Baoer stretched her waist and smiled, "How could I not know that it's dangerous there? Have you forgotten who I am?"
"The princess of Taiping Kingdom, the fourth lady of the Lin family, I have experienced this since I was a child." She joked.
Since she was born, she has seen all kinds of dangers and people's hearts are unpredictable. I don't know how much she has experienced before she can live a stable life now.
Now that she was back to the familiar situation, she just didn't like it at most, but she couldn't say she was afraid.
"I promise that I will come to find you in three months. You just need to play freely with Yuzhi." Lin Zhishen's eyes were deep, and his fingertips moved and curled up. "I will come back to find you after I have dealt with things over there."
"Besides, aren't you afraid that she will encounter danger?"
Lin Baoer pouted and asked back: "Then do you think she will be willing if I leave her here?"
"If I tell her that it is safe here and don't follow us, will she agree?"
"We have been through the desert where we lived and died together. Do you think she will choose to leave by herself because of this little danger?"
"I don't know what three months will be like. Everything changes every day. How can I know what your situation will be like in three months? Words are not enough. I have to see it with my own eyes."
"And maybe, I can help you."
Lin Baoer exhaled and looked at him seriously, "Ah Shen, you will need me, I have never been a burden to you."
Lin Zhishen's pupils shrank, his expression a little panic, he couldn't help but take a step forward, and then restrained himself and stopped where he was, his voice was harsh and his tone was a little anxious, "I never thought about it this way!"
"I know." Lin Baoer laughed, "I just described it this way."
"You have seen what I have shown along the way. Those dangers can't do anything to me. Maybe I will be safer with you."
"Also, I haven't seen the imperial city of Jiang yet. Are you really not going to take me there?"
Seeing that he couldn't win her argument, Lin Zhishen was quite helpless, but his cold and hard brows softened gradually. He gazed at the person in front of him tenderly, his thin lips moved slightly, and his voice was gentle.
"Okay."
...
Two days later, Tang Yu and other people from the Tang Sect disguised themselves as Lin Baoer and led away the killers lurking in the narrow guard cave, while Lin Baoer and the others waited for an opportunity to leave the narrow guard cave. As
soon as they left the city gate, the three of them drove away without stopping. After running for a whole day and night, they found an outdoor inn to rest.
Room.
Jiang Yuzhi wolfed down the food in front of her. She almost choked to death when she ate a chicken drumstick. Fortunately, Lin Baoer quickly handed her a glass of water, so she didn't die before she even started.
"Eat slowly. No one is competing with you for
the food." Lin Baoer shook her head. Although she said so, she ate quickly. In a moment, a chicken drumstick was gone, and then she burped with satisfaction.
They rushed all day and night, and even ate the dry food they brought on the road, and they ate while running, just to avoid the eyes and ears of those people, and attracted the killer. It can be said that they suffered a lot.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Yuzhi leaned back in the chair comfortably, touched his stomach with satisfaction, and began to complain, "I am so tired today, I almost thought I was going to die on the road!"
If Gu Ji's horse couldn't bear it, they would have to run for a while longer.
"More tired than in the desert?" Lin Baoer glanced at her.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhi shook his head like a rattle and laughed, "That's not the case. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's difficult to go from luxury to frugality. I just ate so well in Xianweidong, and I'm exhausted from rushing on the road. The feeling is naturally different." "
That's right." Lin Baoer nodded seriously.
Lin Zhishen walked to the window and looked down. It was quiet outside in the dark night, with only the sounds of insects and dogs barking.
"I'm afraid we'll have to hurry on our way." He looked solemn.
Of course, it wasn't because of the assassin, but because he had to hurry to Kyoto, otherwise the situation would get out of control.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhi was about to wail, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something and shut his mouth.
Normally, Lin Zhishen wouldn't say this, but if he did, it must be because there was something urgent.
Lin Baoer looked at him, hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "What exactly was written in the letter? What makes you so anxious?"
He was willing to hurry back to Kyoto at night and regardless of his health.
Lin Zhishen turned his head and glanced at them, his eyes heavy.
After a long time, he uttered four words.
"The emperor is critically ill."
The two were shocked, and Jiang Yuzhi sat up straight with a look of shock.
The emperor of Jiang is already fifty-four years old, and his body is getting weaker and weaker. He has fourteen children, nine of whom are princes.
The eldest prince is already over thirty years old, and the others are similar. The youngest prince is just over eight years old.
Among them, only two are crowned kings, one is the second prince and the other is the fourth prince.
And until today, the candidate for the crown prince has not yet been decided. The princes are fighting to the death, fighting openly and secretly in Kyoto, coveting the highest position.
Now that the emperor is critically ill, this gives extraordinary information.
I am afraid that in a short period of time, this Kyoto will be full of blood and rain until that position is determined.
At this time, whether it is a favored or unfavored prince, I am afraid that they will want to take a chance.
Almost instantly, Lin Baoer thought a lot, but what made her even more confused was whether Lin Zhishen had the idea of competing for the position?
She wanted to ask, but she felt that she couldn't ask. Even if he did, so what? Lin Zhishen's status was here, so he was naturally qualified to compete for that position, but...
her thoughts were complicated, and for the first time she couldn't sort out her emotions.
On the other side, Jiang Yuzhi no longer dared to speak.
Before leaving the narrow cave, Lin Baoer mentioned Lin Zhishen's identity to her and asked her if she was willing to go with him. If she didn't want to, she could go wherever she wanted, and they would come to find her after the matter was done.
But who is she? Since she followed Lin Baoer and Lin Zhishen, she has made up her mind that no matter what happens, she will never leave the two of them, live and die together, and go wherever they go.
But now Lin Zhishen's words made her suddenly feel that she seemed to be involved in something extraordinary.
If you ask her now if she regrets it...
she still doesn't regret it.
Isn't it just a fight between princes? She can!
Jiang Yuzhi pretended to be calm, and her legs were shaking like sieve bran.
