"Postponement of peace talks?"

Lu Linchu sneered: "Old Four, you were the one who proposed to recruit Song Weizhao. Now that Song Weizhao has been betrayed by Chen Lin and is under attack from all sides, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to subdue him. How can we delay it?"

Because of the previous experience, Lu Linchu heard the deep meaning in his words, which was nothing more than thinking that Jiangbei had sent out a large number of spies again, but he snorted disdainfully: "Even if they have some plans, I am not afraid. This time I am determined to get Song Weizhao."

"Have you ever thought about why Song Weizhao proposed peace talks at this time?"

Lu Linzhi reminded him, "Chen Lin has not yet surrendered to Daning, and the number of refugees crossing south has suddenly increased at this critical juncture. If Jiangbei really sent spies, why would they ambush on the road to Liyang?"

Lu Linchu thought for a moment and said, "Do you think Song Weizhao wants to lure me away and harm Guiyun?"

As soon as the thought came to his mind, he waved his hands and said, "Impossible. No matter how bad Song Weizhao is, he won't hurt Guiyun."

"What about the person next to him?" Lu Linzhi glanced at him meaningfully.

"Nalan Yiqing?"

Lu Linchu shook his head speechlessly: "She is just a barbarian girl from the northern country. How can she harm Guiyun in my Jiangzuo territory?"

Time was running out, and he didn't want to listen to the fourth brother's random guesses. He patted his shoulder heavily and said, "Fourth brother, you should hurry to Jinyang. Father's old injury has relapsed, and we can't let him worry about it anymore. He has always valued you, and you and I should fulfill our promises as soon as possible and share his worries."

After a pause, he said with a firm look in his eyes: "As for your brother's wife, I know my woman's ability. She can even hold on to Liyang City. What can a few spies do to her?"

Afterwards, he hurried away with his trusted generals.

Seeing him quickly disappear from sight, Lu Linzhi sighed silently.

I don’t know if he is pretending to be stupid or is really stupid, or maybe he just has no real feelings for that person at all.

The Crown Princess has long been popular in Jiangzuo, and is the soul figure that maintains the relationship between the three families of Ye, Lu and Fu. If she makes a mistake, not only will Jiangzuo fall into chaos, but even Song Weizhao will no longer have the sincerity to negotiate peace.

Even if it is for the sake of the overall situation, we should escort the Crown Princess back first instead of rushing to find Song Weizhao.

He couldn't even wait for a few days, fearing that the peace talks were fake and that he was determined to take the opportunity to get rid of Song Weizhao.

"Send a message for me, tell Fu Rui to leave Dongyi City immediately and go to Jinyang in my name. Make sure to try to delay Chen Lin."

As Lu Linzhi walked back, he gave instructions to his confidant Rong An.

Rong An frowned: "Your Highness, but you and Chen Lin have already written to each other and agreed on a date."

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Linzhi pondered, "I know Chen Lin's character well. He suffered a loss once and will never enter Dayan again. The Alhe people cannot tolerate him. You ask Fu Rui to sort out the ashes and relics of King Jiurong's family. I will take them there myself. Princess Jiurong is his aunt. With this great gift, he will only be grateful and will never resent it."

I'm afraid Chen Lin still doesn't know that his aunt and her family were murdered.

Rong An thought about it and felt that His Highness's excuse would not cause Chen Lin to feel resentful, but it would waste a lot of time.

"Your Highness, why don't you subdue Chen Lin earlier? Then you might be able to subdue Song Weizhao and compete with the Crown Prince."

Rong An advised: "What the Crown Prince said is not wrong. The Crown Princess is extremely intelligent. Even if there are spies on the road, she will definitely not be able to handle it."

"This return trip is not as good as defending Liyang City. The enemy is in the dark while she is in the light. She doesn't know where the Dayan assassins will act, nor how many forces are involved."

Furthermore, there has been no news of Cheng Kui and You Dian so far, and he is worried that an unknown new force has emerged in Jiangzuo.

Rong An nodded, but he was still anxious: "Your Highness has long been suspected by the Crown Prince. If you decide to personally escort the Crown Princess back to Liyang this time, once the Crown Prince finds out, I'm afraid he will be even less willing to tolerate Your Highness."

“Don’t I know this truth?”

Lu Linzhi said: "But if anything happens to the Crown Princess and the entire Fu family, how will I live the rest of my life?"

Right now Qing Su was far away in Dali, so he had no choice but to escort her personally.

Rong An has followed him since he was a child and understands the pain in his heart best.

"Your Highness has finally been crowned a king and given his fiefdom. Why would you risk it for the Crown Princess?"

He continued to persuade him, "Miss Qingsu has deep feelings for Your Highness. Your Highness only needs to help His Majesty pacify the Daning Kingdom, and then you can retire and continue to live a carefree life. The Crown Princess is devoted to the Crown Prince, and she will not care about everything Your Highness has done for her. If the Crown Princess had any affection for Your Highness, she should not have allowed the Crown Prince to leave Your Highness at the front line this time."

"She is the crown prince of Daning, so she should naturally side with the crown prince."

Lu Linzhi did not blame her for this. He and she had always had the same thoughts. They just hoped that the world would return to peace as soon as possible.

"Rong An, remember, Daning can survive without me, Lu Linzhi, and even without the Crown Prince, but it cannot survive without the Crown Princess."

He had a clear mind. The three families of Ye, Lu and Fu were definitely not something that could be balanced by the prince's paranoid nature.

Even he himself could not get close to the Ye family.

Moreover, ever since that person married into the Lu family, not only herself, but also His Majesty and the Crown Prince can concentrate on fighting outside without having to worry about the rear. If it weren't for her, if I were alone, the southern border would probably still be in a state of disintegration.

Even Fuxiang cannot compare to this.

Rong An knew that his master had made up his mind and did not dare to persuade him anymore.

Back at the mansion, Lu Linzhi looked at the Jiangzuo feng shui map, pointed out several dangerous locations, and immediately ordered: "Order the brothers of the 12 Jiangzuo branches to rush to these places immediately to clear the obstacles in advance, and then order Fu Rui to secretly send people across the Li River to set up ambushes at the post stations along the way. Never allow the Crown Princess' carriage to be disturbed."

Afterwards, he asked Rong An to prepare a carriage to rush to Jinyang overnight, while he himself escaped and quietly set off to various important roads to personally inquire about the situation, determined to find out the reasons for the disappearance of Cheng Kui and You Dian as soon as possible.

It was late at night. After counting the luggage, Fu Guiyun learned that Lu Linchu had already rushed to negotiate peace with Song Weizhao overnight, and did not go to dissuade him.

Because she knew that the prince's peace talks were fake, and his real intention was to seize the opportunity and kill Song Weizhao.

Lu Linchu's self-confidence has increased a lot since he pacified the southern border. It is time for him to see how powerful Song Weizhao is.

The person who was favored by Emperor Hui and regarded differently by the northern countries did not achieve his status by false reputation.

He does have some real skills. If Lu Linchu cannot realize for himself how powerful Song Weizhao and the Alkh Cavalry are, his competitive nature will be difficult to control, and he will never calm down and think about peace talks.

Having made up her mind, she went to bed with peace of mind. Early the next morning, she told her father and Si Nian to lead the tribesmen to board the carriage first, while she rushed to her father-in-law's bedroom to say goodbye.

Upon learning that his daughter-in-law was about to return to Liyang, Lu Chen asked someone to tidy up his clothes and cover up his already weak body as much as possible, and then came out to meet her.
