The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

"Pei Lin, when did you start following His Highness?" Looking at Pei Lin standing aside, Yang Qi asked curiously.

Originally, Yang Qi wanted to place Peilin in the carriage, but Peilin felt that this was inappropriate and decided to follow Miss Yang Qi and drive the horse in front.

"I have followed Your Highness ever since I can remember. At that time, the Western Hu wars were constant, leaving behind countless orphans. The Queen was kind-hearted and adopted us out of her own pocket." Thinking about the things that happened in his youth, Peilin's originally calm heart began to waver.

"The Queen Mother adopted you, and later you became His Highness's secret guards?" There is nothing wrong with this logic.

"That's not the case. I volunteered to become the secret guard for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Queen did not force me. I have had some talent in martial arts since I was young, but this little talent is totally not enough in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Peilin admired and respected the Queen and the Crown Prince from the bottom of his heart.

"If you are not outstanding, you will not be able to become the right-hand man of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." His Royal Highness is surrounded by dangers and suffers countless plots every day.

If the people around him are not excellent and do things in a confused manner, the only one who will be implicated is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

No matter how powerful a hero is, he still needs strong helpers.

"The people around His Highness are carefully selected." Now, Peilin is in charge of the selection and training of secret guards, and he understands the principles behind it even better.

Your Highness is proficient in both civil and military affairs at a young age, and has learned everything. I wonder how much effort he has put in, how much hardship he has endured, and how many things he has experienced since childhood.

It is so difficult to manage a yard or a shop, let alone a country, the huge Tianyuan Dynasty.

If there were no one who cares about the world sitting on the supreme throne, how could the people of the world live a peaceful and prosperous life?

"Your Highness, as the crown prince of a country, seeing the mountains and rivers here occupied by bandits and the people living in such hardship, you must have felt very uncomfortable these days."

Miss Yang Qi's thoughts jumped quickly, but Peilin was someone close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so it was not difficult for him to quickly understand Miss Yang Qi's words.

"Ms. Yang Qi, I'm afraid you are feeling bad." Peilin did not directly answer Miss Yang Qi's question, but instead gave a sharp reply.

Seeing such chaos in the Western Hu, anyone who cares about the world would probably feel depressed and uneasy when seeing such a scene.

"That's true." Rubbing his eyes, Yang Qi said helplessly.

Since last night, Yang Qi has experienced assassinations and rescues, and until now, he has not had time to close his eyes.

"Miss Yang Qi, if you are tired, you can get into the carriage and have a rest. I will drive the horse." Seeing that Miss Yang Qi was a little sleepy, Peilin asked at the right time.

I think Miss Yang Qi has never suffered so much in all these years.

Glancing at Peilin jokingly, Yang Qi smiled and said, "I didn't know that you, the leader of the secret guards, would also care about others?"

Ever since Yang Qi learned about Pei Di's life experience from the Crown Prince, he knew that Pei Lin was not a completely cold person deep down.

Knowing that Miss Yang Qi was teasing him, Peilin touched his head and said nothing.

The address provided by Peilin was consistent with the information in the booklet provided by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before Yang Qi set off.

However, knowing that His Highness had informed Miss Yang Qi of these strongholds, Peilin agreed to bring Miss Yang Qi here.

"Pei Lin, if His Highness is nearby, are you sure you can contact Him?" The closer they got to the target location, the more uneasy Yang Qi felt.

Regardless of the fact that the list provided by Peilin contained more than one person, it was not certain whether the direction he was heading to was the same place where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was heading. Moreover, even if they were heading in the same direction, it was still unclear whether they would meet.

After hesitating for a while, Peilin gave Miss Yang Qi an accurate answer: yes.

The first place Yang Qi and Peilin arrived at was a village.

It was getting dark, and Yang Qi parked Xiaobai in the bushes in the distance, then followed Peilin and quickly approached the village.

Seeing Peilin come and go freely, Yang Qi was a little surprised. Are His Highness and the people around him all so physically fit? The recovery of his wounds was much faster than that of ordinary people.

Looking at the village in front of him, Yang Qi whispered, "Pei Lin, I think there is nothing unusual about this village. Can you see anything unusual?"

There were three or five children playing at the entrance of the village, and villagers were standing in groups of three or four inside.

Since arriving here, Peilin's eyes have never left the village in front of him. At present, the village seems to be normal, quiet and simple.

Looking up at the sky, Peilin shook his head slightly: "Wait a little longer, it will be sunset soon. If there is nothing unusual in this village, smoke from cooking fires should gradually rise. It won't be too late to draw conclusions then."

Peilin is more proficient in these matters of underworld life than Yang Qi himself, so Yang Qi will not interfere too much or give blind orders.

The sky gradually darkened. The children and villagers at the entrance of the village had all returned to their houses, but smoke was rising from only one house in the village.

Seeing this scene, Yang Qi and Peilin frowned at the same time.

Peilin was the first to speak: "Miss Yangqi, there is something wrong with this manor. I am going to go in and investigate. You keep this. If I am not out in the morning, you open this and shoot it towards the sky. The brothers around who see the news will rush here."

Yang Qi took the smoke bomb from Peilin and nodded: "Don't worry, I will act carefully, and you should be careful too."

Peilin was moving very fast and Yang Qi couldn't keep his eyes on him.

Holding the smoke bomb tightly in his hand, Yang Qi muttered silently in his heart: "Your Highness, you are really something. You have so many capable people at your disposal, but you insist on being a lone hero. How strange!"

"Your Highness, since you are confident that you can come here alone, I believe you are not so angry about this matter that you are absolutely sure, right? It will be fine. It will be fine."

"In the previous life, it was only the Fifth Prince and Bai Yuxin who worked together to set up a trap to poison His Highness. Now, with these few people, they are definitely not enough to face His Highness the Crown Prince."

"But, the first time I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he was in the backyard of the Duke of Song's mansion, covered in wounds and dying. Will he be forced to this extent this time?"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, Your Highness is a martial arts master, what are you thinking about!"

Peilin had left, and Yang Qi fell into a debate with himself, with all kinds of thoughts and opinions emerging here.

For a moment, Yang Qi was enveloped by uneasiness, panic, and fear, and he began to tremble unconsciously.

Sitting there, Yang Qi hugged himself tightly and kept repeating, it's okay, it will be okay.

I know that His Highness is a rare and intelligent person in the world, and he will not be harmed by these little things. But once His Highness becomes the person dear to my heart, I can't help but feel worried and afraid.
