I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Although Lanxi did not have anyone guarding Tu Huaining all the time, he was still cautious and did not dare to completely believe Tu Huaining's words. If Tu Huaining ran away, he would have to chase him again, and he might not even be able to catch him.

The reason they were able to find Tu Huaining this time was entirely because of their deliberate plan. Tu Huaining didn't know they were looking for her, so it was possible to find her so smoothly. If Tu Huaining had been on guard, it would not have been so easy to find her.

Lanxi lived in the room next to Tu Huaining. She sat with her back against the wall, listening attentively to the sounds next door. As long as there was anything wrong with Tu Huaining, she would notice it immediately. Besides, Wenhe would deliver meals to Tu Huaining at a fixed time every day. Even if Tu Huaining escaped Lanxi's eyes, she would find out in time.

Tu Huaining sat in the side room, playing with a medicine bottle, his eyes dim and unclear.

Lin Jin and Liu Zhengqing rode at full speed for three days and finally arrived at the inn. When Lin Jin saw Lan Xi, his eyes lit up: "It's you."

"Miss, how are you?" Lan Xi wanted to help Lin Jin get off the horse, but she just flipped over and jumped down, so she had to take her hand back. "Miss Huaining is waiting for you in the room upstairs, but she said that if you are here to persuade her, then don't do it."

Lin Jin smiled without taking it seriously: "Do you think I will listen to her?"

She won't.

Lan Xi didn't think so, but she had said everything Tu Huaining asked her to say, so it wasn't considered a breach of promise. However, she couldn't control Lin Jin: "Miss, you've worked hard on this journey, would you like to eat something first?"

"Let's not eat yet. Business is more important. Take me to find Huaining first." Lin Jin waved her hand and followed Lan Xi to see Tu Huaining.

Lanxi called several times outside the door, but there was no sound from inside. She felt a little confused. She didn't see Tu Huaining come out today, so she should be in the house. "Did Miss Huaining come out today?"

"Miss Huaining hasn't come out these days." The others quickly replied to Lanxi.

Lan Xi was shocked and kicked the door open. The door was just covered but not bolted. There was no one in the room. She hurried to the bed. The bedding on the bed was intact and it didn't look like anyone had slept there for several days.

Lin Jin had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope: "Did Huaining go out?"

"No..." Lan Xi's voice was dry, "Miss Huaining ran away."

"Where is the person who has been delivering meals these days? Miss Huaining has disappeared, who has he been delivering meals to these days?" Lan Xi shouted, and asked someone to bring Wen He, who has been in charge of delivering meals these days, "Where is Miss Huaining?"

The man was stunned and didn't understand what was going on: "No, I don't know."

"Who did you deliver the meals to these days?" Lan Xi twisted him to let him see the bed clearly. "Miss Huaining hasn't stayed at the inn these days. You delivered meals to her every day, don't you know?"

Liu Zhengqing suddenly raised his hand, took out a scorpion and placed it on Wen He's neck. The scorpion's tail hooked out an insect.

He held the Gu in his hand, and the Gu glowed dark blue: "It's not his fault. After all, this is the Gu I raised."

He originally gave it to Tu Huaining for self-defense, but he didn't expect it to be used here.

Lan Xi's face turned pale, and she knelt in front of Lin Jin with her head lowered: "Miss, it is Lan Xi who is incompetent, please punish me."

Lin Jin waved her hand. The most urgent thing now was to find Tu Huaining: "Get up first and find a way to find Huaining. How many days has Huaining been gone?"

"About... three days." Lan Xi's face was grim. If Tu Huaining had ridden faster, he should have reached Lingnan by now. Even if there were white cranes in Lingnan, it would be too late. "Please punish me, young lady."

Lin Jin asked her to get up and sighed. She didn't expect that in the end she would still have to ask the system for help to contact Lin Lin. It turned out that one should not be too absolute in what one says and does, otherwise one will be slapped in the face sooner or later.

"Let's all go out first and find Huaining. I'll take a rest first. I'm a little tired." Not everyone around him was his own people. Lin Jin was worried about exposing his conversation with the system, so he had to drive everyone out first.

Lan Xi wanted to say something else, but when she saw Liu Zhengqing's eyes, she had no choice but to go out together, and she didn't forget to help Lin Jin close the door: "What are you all standing there for? Go find Miss Huaining."

Lin Jin sat in the room, feeling a little headache: "System, do you know where Huaining is now?"

[Well, it cannot be detected, but it has not yet reached Lin Lin.] The system looked at the data here. If Tu Huaining appeared next to Lin Lin, although it could not sense the specific location, it would give a prompt. After all, there are only two systems in this world now.

"Please help me contact Lin Lin." Lin Jin helplessly raised his head at a 45-degree angle, with a look of resignation in his eyes, "Do I have to beg her in the end?"

It could be anyone, but why Lin Lin?

How could she bring this up?

[Okay, host, wait a moment. I will contact Lin Lin's system for you.] The system received Lin Jin's request and started to contact Lin Lin's system, then established a communication channel. [Host, the call is about to begin.]

Lin Jin took a deep breath and comforted herself in her heart. Fortunately, it was just a phone call and not a face-to-face meeting. She would be even more embarrassed if they met face-to-face.

"Lin Jin?" Lin Lin's voice came from the other end of the system, sounding a little uncertain, as if wondering why Lin Jin contacted him.

"Ah... yes, it's me." When Lin Jin heard the other party's voice, his heart couldn't help but tremble and he felt a little nervous.

"Is there something wrong?" Lin Lin's voice sounded steady, without any tension or embarrassment.

Lin Jin listened to the voice. The other party's voice was too calm, as if she was just an acquaintance in the other party's eyes, without any excessive intersection. She suddenly had an illusion that this was how it should be between the two of them.

She calmed down and said, "There is something. Huaining went to Lingnan to look for you. If you meet her, could you please hide for a while?"

"Huh?" Lin Lin seemed to have heard something funny. "Me? Hide for a while? Don't you know whose territory Lingnan is now?"

Lin Lin knew what Tu Huaining wanted to do with her. She had fought with him several times in the past few years. Tu Huaining certainly didn't come to reminisce with her, but just wanted to take her life.

Lin Jin took a deep breath calmly, not wanting the other party to notice her nervousness: "I know, but you also know that she wants to kill you."

"Do you think I'm afraid of her?" Lin Lin found it even more ridiculous. If they really fought, the only one who would die would be Tu Huaining. "This is my territory, why should I hide?"

"I know you are not afraid of her, but could you please not let her get close to you?" Lin Jin was unsure. She knew that Tu Huaining could not kill Lin Lin, so she asked Lin Lin to avoid Tu Huaining.

Lin Lin was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Are you afraid that I will kill her?"

Lin Jin was silent, and Lin Lin asked again: "Are you afraid that I will die and those cities will be blown up?"

Lin Jin could only remain silent. Lin Lin seemed to be able to see through her thoughts from thousands of miles away. He chuckled, "All of them, but you're not worried about me getting hurt, right? If that's the case, why do you ask me to protect the person you want to protect?"

"Why? Lin Jin, are you too self-righteous and selfish?" Lin Lin questioned Lin Jin, as if she would not give up until Lin Jin gave her an answer.

Lin Jin swallowed and said, "Whatever you want, I can promise you."

Lin Lin sneered at Lin Jin's naivety: "Who do you think you are? You don't think I still care about these things now? I have everything you can give me, why should I trade with you for something I have."
