His Majesty suddenly sent Prince Xiang to inspect the imperial mausoleum, and sent a document stating clearly when he would arrive.
If I were a smuggler of iron ore, I would definitely hide the things that should be hidden and clean up the traces before King Xiang arrives, so as not to be caught!"
When Zhan Beihan heard what she said, he felt relaxed and in a good mood.
When you make a plan, there is someone who can immediately follow your thoughts and understand what you want to express.
No explanation is needed.
No need to waste your time talking.
She can even help you check for gaps and tell you things you haven't said yet.
This unspoken understanding and resonance gave Zhan Beihan a novel and comfortable feeling.
His thin lips curled up slightly: "Yes, what else?"
"And there is Prince Xiang."
Xiao Lingyue shrugged: "Although His Majesty uses him as a target, he is also your second brother after all. I leave this errand to you. I guess His Majesty's real intention is to ask you to protect Prince Xiang?"
King Xiang himself understood this, otherwise why would he have come to see Zhan Beihan as soon as he received the errand?
Isn't it just to hold on to your thighs to save your life?
Zhan Beihan said calmly: "Father did not want my second brother to die."
Xiao Lingyue: "That's for sure. He is his biological son after all, but Prince Xiang's abilities are not up to par. If he encounters an extreme situation, he may not be able to save his life, so while making plans, we must also consider Prince Xiang's retreat."
If you're unlucky, you'll end up in a dead end.
Prince Xiang might actually become a target.
This is definitely not what Emperor Zhaoming wanted to see.
Zhan Beihan said with great interest: "If it were you, how would you arrange it?"
Xiao Lingyue asked: "Do you know what is the most comprehensive way to protect something?"
"Tell me about it." Zhan Beihan raised his eyebrows.
"There are two ways. First, hide the thing in a place where no one can find it; second, take it with you."
Xiao Lingyue raised two fingers, shook them, and then said: "The same goes for people, it just depends on how you choose."
Zhan Beihan raised his eyebrows high.
A gust of wind blew by.
Xiao Lingyue pulled back from her thoughts, glanced at Zhan Beihan who was riding beside her, and curled her lips slightly.
This man, in the end, still didn't tell her which one he would choose.
Deliberately whet her appetite.
The journey was very boring. Prince Xiang and the accompanying officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs only left the carriage when eating and resting. At other times, they stayed in the carriage.
The bodyguards accompanied him and escorted him, and because he was following the official official route, there were many common people and businessmen along the way, so the journey was considered uneventful.
In the blink of an eye, the two-day drive passed by in a hurry.
The carriage team finally arrived at the crossing of the river, and the boats were ready in advance.
The carriage stopped near the ferry.
There was constant traffic at the crossing of the river. Merchant ships, official ships, and private ships, large and small, were crossing the river. It was bustling with people and extremely busy.
This is the river crossing nearest to the capital of Northern Qin. Many waterway merchant ships will dock here. You can hear the shouts of sailors everywhere. There are countless workers boarding the ships to unload their goods, and there are also many caravans with escorts walking around.
King Xiang's team mingled among them and looked inconspicuous.
In order to keep a low profile as much as possible, they did not board an official ship, but a small and medium-sized private ship.
