Chapter 364 Don’t look back, follow me.
Ding Ruihan wanted freedom, and Jiang Yanchuan agreed.
However, the land of freedom is far away at the foot of the bitterly cold Liuyang Mountain, and before setting off, there is one thing I need to help him deal with.
It's not really a thing.
He needed Ding Ruihan to return first to stabilize the Ding Mansion and cooperate with their actions so that they could collect more evidence in secret.
Jiang Yanchuan has always wanted to completely eliminate the skinny horse industry in Jiangnan, but he is always hindered by more important government affairs and has not been able to do so for many years.
Now, Ding Ruihan, who wants to escape from the control of the Ding Mansion, can serve as a breakthrough point. While he is wandering in Jiangnan, he can eradicate the countless "Ding Mansions" engaged in this business in one fell swoop.
Ding Ruihan breathed a sigh of relief.
After such a thrilling experience, she dared not mention anything about the purse again. She could only swallow her grievance and watched a man who looked like a guard make two human skin masks on the spot and replace the two maids she brought with her.
When they were finally allowed to go, all of them were covered in thin layers of sweat.
"Let's go." Ding Ruihan spoke weakly, no longer as bright and cheerful as before.
…
Jiang Yingcheng heaved a sigh of relief only after he was sure that the Ding Mansion's pleasure boat was moving farther and farther away.
Then, he looked at Brother Li Feng, whom he had just met, with interest: [Hmm... I didn't look closely just now, but now I see that Brother Li Feng is quite handsome~]
[Sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, straight nose, and face as sharp as a knife...]
After just two sentences of exaggeration, the topic went off track due to a lack of vocabulary: [Knife-cut... knife-cut noodles seem to be delicious! ]
Jiang Lifeng: "..."
Jiang Lifeng shuddered all over. He didn't even have time to react to the boy's idea of leaning towards Zhu Jinguo, and he fell to his knees on the ground with a plop.
All those cunning and mischievous little expressions just now faded away, and Jiang Lifeng finally experienced the same feeling as Ding Ruihan: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Jiang Yanchuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Lifeng with a smile: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Lifeng felt dizzy and couldn't tell for a moment whether Emperor Mingze was talking about "something" or "guilty". He just said subconsciously: "Yes, yes..."
There was a rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other from above the main seat, and footsteps were slowly approaching him from a very close position. After a moment, a shadow was cast above Jiang Lifeng's head, and a very cold voice was heard.
"So, Mr. Nie Wen, what do you want to tell me?"
"Jiang Lifeng..."
"What?"
Jiang Lifeng felt as if his whole body was tightly wrapped by a wave of heat, but his cheeks were strangely bloodless: "My name is Jiang Lifeng..."
The sound was a little louder than before, but it was just loud enough for everyone to hear.
The few ministers who didn't know Jiang Lifeng's identity rolled the name on their tongues and then suddenly widened their eyes.
Jiang Lifeng?!
That's not the...
Jiang Lifeng from the Nanyang Wang family who already has a useless prince? !
Wow!!
Jiang Lifeng lowered his head lowered and closed his eyes amid the unconscious discussions of the ministers.
"Oh," Jiang Yanchuan said suddenly, interrupting everyone's voice, "Deceiving the king."
Jiang Lifeng: “???”
Jiang Lifeng: “!!!”
How could this be considered deceiving you?!
Didn't he just use a pseudonym to find a wife who was sincere and not after his family's power and wealth, and Emperor Mingze and his group just happened to come and see him without his knowledge? !
How could he be the one who deceived the king? !
He still wants to say that they are unreasonable!!
Of course he didn't dare to say such words, and could only say aggrievedly: "Well, then you didn't tell me in advance that you are His Majesty..."
It was only after that chaotic "murderous" scene that he finally confirmed that the man in front of him was the Emperor Mingze who was supposed to be in charge of the country in the capital!
Before he could say anything more, a voice suddenly came from a quiet corner far away.
“That’s right!”
The words that were about to come out of Jiang Yanchuan's mouth were blocked. He turned around and looked over there from a distance.
The ministers also turned around subconsciously.
Near the exit, Ying Sinan was covering his mouth with a look of regret. Seeing everyone turning back, the expression on his face could almost be described in four words -
The sky is falling.
Jiang Lifeng's eyes lit up.
The refugee has appeared!!
…
The two refugees walked side by side on the bustling streets of Fengjin County, holding in their hands the list of snacks that the boy had made out, and went from snack shop to snack shop on the street.
"What's left?"
"I've bought Dingsheng cake, osmanthus cake, jujube mud mountain medicine cake... I've bought all of these," Ying Sinan said, comparing them one by one on the list, finally showing a little smile on his lips, "I'm still short of some cloud cake and jade dew dumplings, so I've completed my mission today!"
Emperor Mingze did not punish the two of them for their crime of collision, but he did not let them off easily either.
He asked the two to be fully responsible for resolving all the requests of the youngsters during the trip, aiming to ensure that they have a pleasant travel experience.
The two of them exclaimed "Your Majesty is magnanimous" on the spot. However, in just two days, Jiang Lifeng's mentality had undergone a drastic change.
Even when I was overworked, I had a "dangerous" thought:
Since it is impossible to resolve all of the young man’s demands, it would be better to directly resolve the young man who made the demands!
Of course, this is just a random thought...
The next day after joining the tour group, he received a "local specialty" that all the officials in the capital had seen:
The simple envelope contained his "priceless" jade pendant, and inside it was a text message from a mysterious person, telling him to take good care of his things and not to be easily fooled by beautiful women and lose his mind.
His tone seemed old-fashioned, but in fact it was no different from that of his father who sighed all day long.
As the memory came back to him, Jiang Lifeng sighed with mixed feelings, and reached out to pat his new friend on the shoulder twice: "As long as you are happy."
Ying Sinan couldn't hear what the little guy was thinking. She didn't know that the cute little girl was actually as evil as her "handsome father".
Long before the two of them left the house today, the young man had already arranged a whole day's itinerary for them in his mind, and the matter of buying cakes...
Just an appetizer.
"Let's go," Jiang Lifeng continued walking towards the next pastry shop, resigned to his fate, "Let's go check out the next one!"
"Ah, yes, yes!"
Ying Sinan, who had just been looking downcast, suddenly straightened his chest and raised his head, as if he was very interested in this matter: "Let's go!"
Jiang Lifeng: “???”
Tired?!
At the moment of passing by, Jiang Lifeng suddenly heard a very suppressed voice coming from his ear——
"There are a few people in the back who are not looking right," Ying Sinan said, "Don't look back, just follow me."
