Chapter 1591: Traveling the Mountains and Waters
Translator: Lonelytree
When Xiao Jingrui left, the secret work was done very well. Without Little Green, even if Lin Yuelan sent people to inquire, they couldnt find Xiao Jingruis whereabouts.
Of course, she and Jiang Zhennan were not naive enough to think that Xiao Jingrui would leave with the diplomatic mission.
Since he could leave in the middle of the night without anyone noticing, he must have guessed that there would be many accidents, such as a.s.sa.s.sins, if he left with the diplomatic mission.
Some a.s.sa.s.sins might come from the inside or outside.
Therefore, Xiao Jingrui, who was sharp and smart, must certainly take precautions.
Lin Yuelan smiled and said, Brother Nan, do you think its possible that Xiao
Jingrui hasnt left Longyan Country?
Jiang Zhennan thought for a moment and said, This was possible! Its just that
He frowned and asked in confusion, Since he didnt leave Longyan Kingdom, where did he go?
The plan to get rid of Xiao Jingrui was a secret plan. Otherwise, if they were not careful, it could cause a war between the two countries. Therefore, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Jiang Zhennan did not send people to investigate Xiao Jingruis whereabouts.
After all, his men were all soldiers and had certain characteristics. Once they were discovered by Xiao Jingrui, they might expose everything.
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, After Jiang Yunfeng was demoted to a commoner, I sent people to keep an eye on him. However, three days ago, my men reported that Jiang Yunfeng had disappeared into thin air.
Jiang Zhennan immediately asked suspiciously, Yue er, are you suspecting
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, Thats right. 1 suspect that Jiang Yunfeng was kidnapped by Xiao Jingruis men. After all, in this world, other than you, His
Majesty, and l, the only one who knows about the gold mine and iron mine is Jiang Yunfeng.
If my guess is correct.
Xiao Jingrui might have forced Jiang Yunfeng to redraw the map left by your mother. So,
Their gazes met.
Jiang Zhennan said in surprise, So, Xiao Jingrui is likely to take Jiang Yunfeng to find the location of the gold mine and iron mine!
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, Thats right. Although they may not understand this map, we cant underestimate Xiao Jingruis cleverness. Although the map that your mother had drawn was marked according to the lat.i.tudes and longitudes, there were a few obvious mountain range markings on the map.
Therefore, it was very likely that they would follow the signs of those mountains. However, they do not have metal detectors. Therefore, they would need to spend a lot of time and money in the process of searching.
In this aspect, we might have a huge advantage.
After all, only she could understand the modern map drawn by Yuan Shutong. Then, they did not have to waste time on the road. They could just go straight along the vvay.
Jiang Zhennans eyes were fixed on Lin Yuelan. Lin Yuelan looked at him and said, Brother Nan, perhaps we should go there to look for them.
Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, Okay, lets go! However, he still frowned slightly.
Lin Yuelan smiled and asked, Brother Nan, do you have any other questions?
Jiang Zhennan thought for a moment and said, Yue er, you said that General Lingyun died of a sudden illness some time ago. But as far as I know, General Lingyun is not only Xiao Jingruis subordinate but also his master. Why wouldnt he return home to check on his master? Moreover, why wasnt he worried that the sudden death of General Lingyun would cause the morale of the army to fall apart?
According to human nature, after knowing that his master had pa.s.sed away from illness, he would definitely return to the country immediately to personally send a letter and stabilize the morale of the army.
However, Xiao Jingrui was completely inhumane. After learning that his Master had died of illness, his expression did not change. He did not look sad at all.
Wasnt such a person too cold-blooded?
Jiang Zhennan couldnt understand Xiao Jingruis humanity.
Lin Yuelan smiled and shook her head. So, Brother Nan, we shouldnt underestimate Xiao Jingrui. Perhaps this was his personal charm in the imperial court. A prince who had been neglected had endured humiliation, rose to the occasion and became the backbone for some of the court officials.
As long as the backbone was still there, there would not be chaos. Therefore, he did not have to worry about internal strife in the army or the court being out of control.
Hearing Lin Yuelans explanation, Jiang Zhennan was instantly speechless.
What Lin Yuelan said was very reasonable.
Since Xiao Jingrui could go from a prince who had been neglected to the current monarch of a country, he naturally had his decision-making and personal charm.
As for the cold-blooded nature of humans, since ancient times, emperors had always been heartless.
Xiao Jingvu was just following in their footsteps.
Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, Yue er, lets get ready and set off!
Lin Yuelan said, Alright!
Not long after, Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan informed everyone and planned to leave.
In the end, when the two of them arrived at the entrance of the manor, they saw Liu Yichen standing in front of the main door. Behind him was a luxurious carriage. The coachman was his subordinate, Lou Ye.
When Liu Yichen saw them coming out, he smiled and asked, Sister, where are you planning to go? Can you let Big Brother follow you? I dont want to be left behind by you again and again!
Lin Yuelan was speechless, while Jiang Zhennans face darkened.
Jiang Zhennan then said coldly, Chief Liu is busy every day, and you still have the time to follow us to tour the mountains and play?
Liu Yichen retorted sharply, Even the Defender General has the leisure to tour the mountains and play with the water. Why cant this insignificant little merchant follow along?
Lin Yuelan was speechless.
Jiang Zhennan was speechless. This vile person.
Jiang Zhennan cursed in his heart.
Then, Liu Yichen looked at Lin Yuelan with starry eyes and said, Sister, Ive settled my matters. 1 can go sightseeing with you!
Lin Yuelan was speechless. They really werent going on a sightseeing trip. After a moment of silence, Lin Yuelan said, Alright then, lets go together!
When Liu Yichen heard Lin Yuelan agree, he deliberately made a smug gesture at Jiang Zhennan.
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were speechless.
How childis.h.!.+
However, none of them said anything. They immediately mounted their horses and planned to leave.
The two old men were walking out, followed by Liu Jiaying, Li Fazhi, and the others.
They werent naive enough to think that Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were really going sightseeing.
There must be something that they needed to deal with, so they had to leave.
Lin Deshan said to the few of them, Be careful!
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, Yes, we know. Grandpa, dont worry!
Then, Lin Yuelan looked at Doctor Zhang and said, Grandmaster, the Dark
Dragon Kingdoms diplomatic mission will be leaving in two days. Master said that he would stay for a while.
Doctor Zhang nodded and said helplessly, Yes. There was a lot of medical knowledge in Lin Hospital that he had yet to fully understand. He would continue to stay in the hospital and return to Dark Dragon Country after a while!
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, Oh. I havent said goodbye to Master yet. Grandmaster, please help me pa.s.s on my apologies to him!
Doctor Zhang smiled and said, Alright!
Liu Jiaying looked at Lin Yuelan with bright eyes and asked, Sister, can I come with you? I also want to take a look outside and gain some knowledge!
However, Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, Im sorry, Ying er. Im afraid I
cant allow it this time, Wait for the next time!
The news of their departure would not reach Xiao Jingruis ears.
However, they were very sure that as long as the news reached Xiao Jingruis ears, he would be able to guess the purpose of their departure.
Therefore, it could be said that there would be many dangers along the way, and it was obviously not safe to bring a little girl who did not know any martial arts.
Liu Jiaying felt a little regretful, but she wasnt unhappy.
Her sister was a person who did great things. She could not delay things because of her selfishness.
She smiled and said, Alright! Sister, brother-in-law, Brother Liu, you must be careful and have a safe journey!
After Lin Yuelan and the other two bade farewell to the crowd, they headed straight for the capitals entrance.
On the streets of the capital, everyone was surprised to see Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan riding on horses. Their eyes were filled with amazement!
Because the handsome man and beautiful woman riding on the horse were too eye-catching.
Is that the princess and the general?Someone looked in the direction they left and asked curiously, They look like theyre in a hurry. What are they going to do?
Who cares what theyre going to do? Someone beside him immediately retorted. Theyre people who do great things anyway!
If it was another woman, she might not think so.
However, when they found out that Lin Yuelan was the boss behind the Lin Family Hospital and Ni Lai Wo w.a.n.g Inn, everyone believed that Princess Gu was someone who could do great things.
In a society where it was a virtue for a woman to have no talent, they were very calm and accepted the princess of the Guguo, who was better than men.
Everything that happened around the princess of Guguo was no longer surprising..
