Xie Chengjin looked at Lu Zhiyun's cheerful smile with soft eyes.
My mother once said that if one day he meets a woman who only wants to see her smile and does not want to see her cry, when he travels around the country, he wants to share it with her, and when he tastes delicious food,
What I want is to share it with her. If I can't see her and always feel empty around me and empty in my heart, then I'm in love.
He didn't know why he liked this girl.
When he first met her, he just thought that this girl was really good-looking, with light in her eyes, instead of being numb and ordinary like other ladies.
Later, he found out that the girl really had a temper. No woman he had ever met before did not take him into consideration like her. She was either afraid of him or pestering him. She was the only one who had no interest in him at all.
Maybe it was different in his mind from the time he started to pay attention to that girl. Look, it was so easy to fall into her hands, and even the matter with Feng Linguo was delayed again and again. It was not like him
style.
Xie Chengjin brought the cooked porridge to Lu Zhiyun.
Lu Zhiyun and Ding Xiang were playing so forgetfully that their clothes were all wet and they had just changed into another outfit and came out.
"Thanks."
"According to the itinerary, if we hurry up after eating, we can reach Heping Town tonight. There is an inn there, so we don't have to stay outside."
"You guys go first, we'll leave later." Lu Zhiyun said, "Didn't you tell me that it's not convenient for us to go together."
Xie Chengjin: "..."
This girl really holds a grudge.
"Although these people under my command have been detoxified, they are all injured. If they encounter the assassin again, they may not even have the strength to fight back. We still need Miss Lu's protection along the way. Please come with us, Miss Lu."
Walk together so that we can be safe."
Lu Zhiyun said proudly: "I'll think about it!"
Ding Xiang snickered beside her.
Xie Chengjin looked sincere: "Miss Lu must help me! Whether I can return to Feng Linguo alive depends on whether Miss Lu can help me."
"Since you are so sincere, I will reluctantly help you once."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
After breakfast, everyone set off.
Just as Ding Xiang was about to get on the carriage, someone grabbed her clothes.
"do what?"
She was pulled off.
The people who dragged her were Xie Chengjin's men.
"The prince is injured and needs to recuperate. Our convoy does not have a carriage. I can only disturb Miss Lu and ask her to allow our prince to ride in the same carriage with her."
"Isn't this not good?" Ding Xiang said, "A man and a woman alone..."
"There is no one else here, and no one will know about it." The subordinate said, "Please make it convenient for Miss Lu."
Lu Zhiyun opened the curtain: "Let your prince speak for himself."
Xie Chengjin came from behind and got directly into the carriage.
Lu Zhiyun glanced at him: "I haven't agreed yet."
"I'm injured," Xie Chengjin leaned there weakly, "Xiao Yun'er, please help me!"
"Don't even try to lie to me. You were not injured last night."
"Who said he was injured last night? I was injured just now."
Lu Zhiyun frowned: "Why were you injured just now? Was there an assassin just now?"
But she heard no sound at all.
Xie Chengjin stretched out his hand and showed the small scar on his finger. It looked like the scar had been cut by some sharp bamboo blade or leaf, and no blood even flowed out.
"Such a serious injury, if I don't get in the carriage and rest soon, I'm afraid it will heal."
Lu Zhiyun said and patted the back of his hand.
Xie Chengjin leaned there lazily and said to the entourage outside: "Let's set off."
Ding Xiang was not happy, but her young lady did not refuse, so she just sat outside the carriage.
Xie Chengjin looked at Lu Zhiyun, his eyes getting deeper and deeper.
"If you don't want to rest, why don't you get off the carriage and keep staring at me?" She felt strange and didn't even know how to let go of her hands.
"Xiao Yun'er, why don't you come with me to Feng Lin Country?"
He didn't want to let her go.
Even if it's just temporary, I don't want to let it go.
He really wanted to take her away, go directly to Feng Lin Country to get married, turn her into his wife, and see her all the time in the future.
"Does Feng Linguo want to start a war?" Lu Zhiyun said, "Although my father is a civil servant, I am sure that if he leads the army to fight, your Feng Linguo will have no chance of winning. And my brother..."
A very wise and almost demonic brother.
If she was taken to Feng Lin Country, Xie Chengjin would be seeking death.
"I only dare to talk about it." Xie Chengjin muttered, "My father-in-law and uncle are so difficult to deal with. It will be very difficult to successfully welcome the bride in the future!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing." Xie Chengjin smiled.
"I looked at the map of Feng Linguo. You also have a sea area that is connected to Sanlin City. If there is a chance, we can open the sea area so that the two countries can trade. This is also a great thing for the people.
.”
"good."
If the seas were connected, it would be faster to come from Feng Lin Country, and he would be able to see her earlier.
Lu Zhiyun took out a book and read it.
When Xie Chengjin saw that she was looking at him so seriously, he wanted to snatch her book away and let her read more about him.
What’s so good about that book?
Isn't he good-looking?
At night, they arrived at Heping Town and stayed there.
There are only two inns in Heping Town. They have booked all the available rooms, but they still cannot accommodate so many people.
Lu Zhiyun asked his men to stay in civilian homes. Of course, the money was paid.
By the time all the men were settled, it was getting late.
"Dingxiang, go and ask the boss if something happened here. Why does the atmosphere feel weird?"
Ding Xiang took the order and went.
Not long after, she came back to report the situation.
"I don't know what happened in Heping Town. More than a dozen people died in a row."
"dead?"
"Yes, it was said that he died suddenly because he couldn't find the cause. Everyone is feeling quite heavy now, that's why he is so lifeless."
"Why do I have a bad premonition?" Lu Zhiyun said, "How could so many people die for no reason?"
"I'll take people to the local parents' office to have a look." Xie Chengjin stood up.
"You are the prince of Feng Linguo, not the prince here. My status here is better than yours. Don't forget that I also have a token given by the emperor." Lu Zhiyun said, "I'll go with you.
!”
The two came to the county government office and asked the gatekeeper to inform them.
The county magistrate hurried over and said to the two of them: "I didn't know that your nobles arrived at Heping Town and were not welcomed at a distance. Please forgive me."
"Sir, don't say any polite words. We are here to ask about the sudden death of more than a dozen people in Heping Town. How did those people die?" Lu Zhiyun took out the token.
The county magistrate's official position is not high, but he still recognizes the dragon pattern on the token. In addition, these two people have extraordinary temperament, and they are not ordinary people at first glance, which makes him even more trembling.
