early morning.
The warm sunlight poured into the room through the thin window paper. As soon as Lin Jiangnian opened his eyes, he felt something was wrong. He subconsciously lowered his eyes and saw an exquisite and beautiful oval face, very close to him.
Very close!
Almost stuck to him.
In a trance, Lin Jiangnian could even see the slightest details on this face clearly.
Her flawless, white face was unmade up, without a single blemish, smooth as jade, delicate and delicate. A few strands of black hair fell slightly, seemingly obscuring her delicate features. Her thin red lips were slightly pursed, her nose was translucent, and her eyes were slightly closed.
Quiet, elegant, and peaceful.
Lin Jiangnian, who had just woken up and was still dazed, felt as if his brain had crashed at some point.
what happened?
how……
When he woke up a little, he blinked to make sure that the scene before him was not a dream.
The girl's delicate face is still close at hand, pink and plump, making people want to kiss her.
I could smell the fragrance of the girl, a mixture of her hair and her body odor.
Elegant and fragrant!
It seems to be mixed with the fragrance of some elegant plants.
Lin Jiangnian stared at the scene in a daze. The girl just faced him, lying on her side, her head resting on his arm. Perhaps because she had been pressing on him for too long, blood circulation was cut off, and Lin Jiangnian felt a faint numbness in his arm.
At the same time, a pair of snow-white, slender hands stretched out from under the quilt and tightly hugged Lin Jiangnian's neck, wrapping around him like a koala, very tightly and forcefully.
It was so tight that Lin Jiangnian's neck felt heavy.
this……
Lin Jiangnian, who had just woken up, hadn't even realized what was happening?!
His head was hazy, and he felt the girl's gentle body in his arms. Even through the clothes, he could still feel the softness underneath.
Soft and fragrant!
Lin Jiangnian was confused for a while, but finally realized what was going on.
...He was taken advantage of?!
Lin Jiangnian lowered his eyes and looked at the sweet girl in his arms who was still sleeping with her eyes closed and breathing evenly. He gradually reacted.
The fox's tail is exposed?
This little maid had been reserved for a few days, and finally couldn't help herself last night. She coveted his body and took the initiative to throw herself into his arms?
A few nights ago, I slept in the same bed with him and was on guard against him like a thief, but what happens now?
Lin Jiangnian's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at the face so close to him unscrupulously.
Normally, one wouldn't have the chance to admire such a flawless face up close. But at this moment, it was revealed to Lin Jiangnian without a trace of concealment.
He quietly looked at the girl's delicate features and pink skin, then followed his gaze downwards to the girl's chest which was slightly squeezed to the side.
You can vaguely see that it is beginning to take shape.
Under the quilt, where Lin Jiangnian's eyes could not reach, he could only use his mind to carefully feel the softness and warmth of the girl's delicate body.
Lin Jiangnian's gaze remained fixed on Zhiyuan's pretty face, her eyes slightly closed. From such a close distance, he could even see the girl's slightly trembling eyelashes. Staring at her fair, delicate face and her plump, pink lips, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.
Isn’t this... delivered to your door?
Since you threw yourself into my arms first, don’t blame me for being a bad person!
Lin Jiangnian found an excuse in his mind for his ill-intentioned behavior and occupied the moral high ground in advance. He lowered his head and could even feel the gentle breath of Zhiyuan hitting his face, with a faint fragrance.
Just as Lin Jiangnian was about to approach the girl's slightly pursed red lips, Zhiyuan, who had originally closed her eyes, seemed to be startled and slowly opened her eyes.
The next second, their eyes met!
At such a close distance, the two looked at each other.
Lin Jiangnian froze in his tracks.
The act of secretly kissing is very immoral, and it would be difficult to explain if you were caught on the spot.
Lin Jiangnian's face felt a little hot, and he felt inexplicably guilty.
Even though I'm thick-skinned, I'm still a little embarrassed to be caught red-handed.
At the same time, Zhiyuan, who had just woken up, seemed a little dazed. He was still in a daze, and there was a bit of confusion and stupidity in his eyes.
She looked at him blankly, as if she hadn't figured out what was going on.
The two looked into each other's eyes. They were so close that they could even feel each other's breathing, and their breath fell on each other's faces. The atmosphere gradually became a little weird.
"woke up?"
Zhiyuan still didn't say anything, and his eyes gradually became clearer from the initial confusion and daze.
She continued to stare at Lin Jiangnian, motionless.
But Lin Jiangnian could clearly feel the girl's body in his arms gradually stiffening. A blush gradually rose on her pale face.
Obviously, she had realized something.
"Get up, get up..."
As if finally coming to his senses, Zhiyuan slightly shifted his gaze, his voice trembling with nervousness.
Her chest rises and falls more violently!
"Oh, sure!"
Lin Jiangnian nodded subconsciously, and when he was about to stand up, he seemed to think of something and paused. He looked down at the girl in his arms, whose pink and white skin was rosy. It was obvious that she was blushing with shame.
Looks great!
Especially his appearance at this moment made Lin Jiangnian even more eager to make a move.
After a moment's silence, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed the girl on her thin lips.
It's soft and has a great touch, like kissing some kind of mint marshmallow.
They separated in an instant, and before Zhiyuan could resist, Lin Jiangnian stood up and ran away.
"This is your reward for taking advantage of me last night. We're even now!"
On the bed, Zhiyuan looked at Lin Jiangnian who had already slipped out of the room, her head spinning.
It wasn't until a while later that she finally realized what had happened. Zhiyuan subconsciously reached out and touched her lips, her eyes still blank.
But that fair face was already covered with blush, and it was white and rosy, like a finely carved jade, so beautiful!
…
This small mountain village, located outside Xunyang City and almost isolated from the world, has a slow and peaceful pace of life for the villagers.
Although he'd only been there a few days, Lin Jiangnian had a very positive impression of the place. The world was unstable, filled with intrigue and deception. But the simple and kind people of this small mountain village gave Lin Jiangnian a glimpse of true love, a rare glimpse into the human world.
Eventually, though, it was time to leave.
Lin Jiangnian said goodbye to the old couple. Thanks to the kind old couple for taking him in, Lin Jiangnian saved himself a lot of trouble. In addition, living here these days also caused a lot of trouble to the old couple.
The old couple lived a simple and frugal life. Lin Jiangnian wanted to leave some silver to express his gratitude, but he didn't have any silver on him. In the end, Lin Jiangnian left some herbal pills and gave them to the old couple.
These pills are extremely valuable and could fetch a fortune outside. But given to this elderly couple, they are extremely effective in treating common colds and typhoid fever. In this age when colds and flu can be fatal, such medicine can save lives.
Lin Jiangnian noted the location of the small mountain village, intending to send someone to thank the old couple after returning. After bidding farewell to the old couple, Lin Jiangnian left the small mountain village with the kite and officially set out on the road back to Xunyang City.
The distance from the small mountain village to Xunyang City wasn't far, but walking back would probably take quite a while. The two left the village and followed the path all the way to the official road. They then stopped a carriage along the road and traded a jade pendant for a ride back to Xunyang City.
After a few days, there were many more soldiers and horses guarding outside Xunyang City.
From a distance, Xunyang City was heavily guarded, with many soldiers in armor guarding the gate, and even a number of troops were stationed outside the city not far away.
The entire Xunyang County gives people a solemn atmosphere, an oppressive feeling as if a storm is about to come.
The carriage stopped far away outside Xunyang City. Lin Jiangnian got off the carriage, but had no intention of entering the city. Looking back, he saw Zhiyuan, dressed in a coarse linen gown, also getting off the carriage.
She was still wearing a simple coarse linen gown, but it couldn't hide her stunning temperament.
With her graceful figure, stunning appearance, and constant cool demeanor, Zhiyuan stood aside after getting off the carriage, expressionless and cold, as if to say no strangers were allowed to enter.
After glancing at Lin Jiangnian coldly, he said nothing.
"Let's go."
Lin Jiangnian spoke, turned and walked to the other side. After a few steps, he found something wrong. He turned back and saw Zhiyuan still standing there, motionless.
"Why don't you leave?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at Zhiyuan's expressionless face, as if he could see through her thoughts: "Let's not go into the city yet. Qingqing is waiting for us."
Zhiyuan finally reacted, retracted his gaze, and walked forward with an expressionless face.
From beginning to end, he didn't say a word.
Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows.
Still angry?
When she woke up in the morning, she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, so Lin Jiangnian kissed her naturally.
This bite, something went wrong!
I haven't paid any attention to him yet.
Along the way, he was treated as air and completely ignored Lin Jiangnian's existence.
A little maid actually dared to look at her master like that. She's going to make a scene!
Lin Jiang sighed, but he was not angry.
The last time he kissed her face, Zhiyuan was even angrier than now. This time, when he kissed her lips, she just kept a blank expression and pretended to be dumb, ignoring him.
Very fast progress!
In this case, the next time should be...
Lin Jiangnian is looking forward to it!
The two of them followed the path outside Xunyang City and soon arrived outside a private house.
Outside the house, someone with sharp eyes had already spotted the two. When they arrived at the house, a familiar figure, who had been waiting outside for a long time, quickly approached.
"Your Highness? Sister Zhiyuan?!"
"Great, you're finally back!!"
Lin Qingqing's eyes were filled with tears. Seeing the two people who had 'come back from the dead' appear in front of her, she was so excited that she almost cried on the spot.
These past few days, she had truly experienced what it meant to go from heaven to hell, and then from hell to heaven.
The secret chamber in the back mountain collapsed, and it was thought that His Highness and Sister Zhiyuan were buried deep underground, almost dead. At that time, Lin Qingqing was completely despairing and heartbroken. But unexpectedly, His Highness suddenly sent someone to deliver a letter, announcing the news of their survival.
One moment in heaven, one moment in hell!
However, even so, Lin Qingqing was still uneasy in her heart. It was not until she finally saw His Highness and Sister Zhiyuan with her own eyes that Lin Qingqing's hanging heart was finally at ease.
Lin Jiangnian was also moved when he saw Lin Qingqing, who was in tears. Lin Qingqing was probably his most loyal subordinate in the entire Lin Wang Mansion.
Whether she was instructing Lin Jiangnian in martial arts at the Prince Lin's Mansion or protecting Lin Jiangnian's safety on the way to the capital, she was organized and fulfilled her duties without any slackness.
At the same time, he was extremely anxious and worried when Lin Jiangnian got into trouble, but when he came back, he cried with joy and excitement. How could one not be moved and love such a loyal subordinate?
In comparison, some subordinates seem particularly...
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian glanced at the cold little maid behind him who still had an expressionless face.
What a gap!
As if he had noticed Lin Jiangnian's gaze, Zhiyuan, who already had an expressionless face, remained silent, but the coldness in his body deepened.
After crying with joy for a while, Lin Qingqing wiped the tears from her face and asked excitedly: "Your Highness, what is going on?"
"You, how did you and Sister Zhiyuan...get out?!"
The letter Lin Jiangnian had sent earlier reported safety, but it didn't mention how to escape from the secret room in the back mountain. Looking at the living prince before her, and Sister Zhiyuan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Lin Qingqing trembled with excitement.
Behind him, Zhiyuan's gaze fell on Lin Qingqing. His originally calm expression showed a little movement, and he nodded slightly.
Lin Jiangnian didn't explain further. "This matter is complicated. I'll tell you later when I have time... By the way, how's the thing I asked you to do going?"
Hearing this, Lin Qingqing calmed down and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I have already done as you instructed... I'm afraid the people in the Wang family don't know that you are still alive!"
"The Wang family is so ambitious that they actually want to murder His Highness. They deserve to die!"
Lin Qingqing said angrily.
Although His Highness came back alive, this time the Wang family killed His Highness. No matter what, this revenge must be avenged.
"Your Highness, I have already informed the prince and sent people to mobilize the troops in Linzhou... If the Wang family doesn't give us an explanation this time, we can simply..."
Lin Qingqing's expression was fierce.
As expected of a subordinate trained by Zhiyuan, his working style is vigorous and decisive.
However, Lin Jiangnian shook his head slightly: "No rush, there's no need to mobilize the troops for now."
Lin Qingqing was stunned: "No need to really transfer?"
I don't understand.
"The troops in Linzhou do need to be mobilized, but they can't really be mobilized..."
Lin Jiang said something in a young voice.
After listening to this, Lin Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then said with some worry: "Then Your Highness, what if..."
"Don't worry, I have my own way."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head slightly: "We can't really move the troops in Linzhou, otherwise it will give the court a handle to target our palace."
The matter of mobilizing troops was no small matter. If it wasn't handled properly, trouble would ensue. The Wang family was probably waiting for this move, and Lin Jiangnian naturally couldn't let them get what they wanted.
"However, although we can't really move, we can take advantage of the situation!"
Lin Jiangnian sneered.
"I will obey your Highness."
Seeing that His Highness had already made up his mind, Lin Qingqing nodded immediately: "Your Highness, what do you think we should do?"
"what to do?"
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Of course it's revenge!"
He almost lost his life and was slightly injured. Especially since Zhiyuan was seriously injured in order to save him.
He must settle this grudge with the Wang family.
"Where's Wang Qin?"
Lin Jiangnian asked, "Where is he?"
"In the city."
Lin Qingqing gritted her teeth and said, "He has already returned to the prefectural governor's mansion."
"What's his latest schedule?"
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes, thinking about something.
Lin Qingqing nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, we have spies in the city watching his movements."
"very good."
Lin Jiangnian nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to say something, he turned back to look at Zhiyuan behind him and said, "What do you think?"
The Wang family now not only has a grudge against him, but also has a blood feud with Zhiyuan. Lin Jiangnian naturally plans to ask for her opinion.
However, Zhiyuan ignored Lin Jiangnian and glanced at Lin Qingqing.
"Qingqing, come with me."
After saying that, Zhiyuan took light steps and walked towards the house behind him.
Lin Qingqing stood there, looking at Sister Zhiyuan's back in a daze, then looked at His Highness, and sensed something was wrong.
"Your Highness, you and Sister Zhiyuan..."
