Two days passed in a blink of an eye, no matter how reluctant she was, Ji Linglan left the capital after Lu Jiu's disguise.

In an inconspicuous carriage, Fu Nanling babbled and told him all the way, and finally stuffed a wooden box into Ji Linglan's arms, and said, "Alan, this is a 10 tael silver note, which is common to the three countries. You are new here , will definitely be excluded, and those who should be rewarded must not be stingy."

"A Ling, it's time for you to use your silver right now. You should keep it for yourself. I have been wandering abroad for many years. If someone finds out that I have so much silver, it will definitely attract people's suspicion and cause unnecessary trouble. If you want to fight Reward, the silver I have saved is enough, not to mention the reward from Princess Yaohua."

"Money, I have enough, these are just a drop in the bucket. Ah Lan, when you arrive in Linguo, I can't help you. This is the only thing I can help you with. Just take it and let me feel at ease."

Seeing Fu Nanling's insistence, Ji Linglan didn't refuse anymore, put the box into the package, and said: "The money will be kept with me first, and if we really elope, it will be enough for us to spend the rest of our lives in abundance."

"The money is not enough. If I really want to elope with Ah Lan, I will take all the things in the palace with me, and finally go to the treasury for a stroll."

Ji Linglan couldn't laugh or cry when she heard that, and said, "The things in your small warehouse are enough to fit a few carriages, and you still want to use the national treasury? You are really greedy!"

"Alan, I know you are kind-hearted and easy to soften your heart, but everyone in the palace is full of scheming people. They are willing to betray anyone for their own interests. No one is absolutely loyal. When dealing with enemies, don't be soft-hearted. Do you understand?"

"A Ling, you have been admonishing me for a few days, and my ears are almost hearing calluses. Don't worry, I am not a three-year-old child, nor am I the Buddha who saves everyone. I know what to do."

Fu Nanling wanted to say more, so he listened to the reply from the Yingwei outside the carriage, saying: "Master, the Shili Pavilion outside the city has arrived."

Fu Nanling's heart twitched, he stepped forward and hugged Ji Linglan, and said: "Alan, you must take care, I'll wait for you to pick me up. If something happens to you, I will give everything I have to bring Linguo down."

Ji Linglan hugged him back, and gently comforted him: "A Ling also take care, take good care of your body, and wait for me to come back to pick you up."

Fu Nanling let go of Ji Linglan, raised his head and kissed his lips intensely and lingeringly, reluctant to part for a long time.

Ji Linglan pushed Fu Nanling away cruelly, and said, "A Ling, I'm leaving, take care."

Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan's back out of sight, watched the car curtain slowly lowered, and his eyes were reddened. The time they were really together was only half a month, and the time when they were going to be separated was far away, which had to be Let him feel sour.

Ji Linglan looked back at the carriage, turned around and walked towards Shiliting, where he and Princess Yaohua met. When the motorcade arrived here, he would sneak into the crowd and hide among Princess Yaohua's many attendants.

Standing in the pavilion, looking back at the carriage where Fu Nanling was, seeing that the carriage had turned around and was leaving slowly, Ji Linglan felt a little disappointed, and even more reluctant.It was only half a month after the relationship was confirmed, and they had to separate. This is a kind of torture for any couple.It's just that they have to do some things, and they can't be selfish and only care about their children's love.

The carriage disappeared from sight, and Ji Linglan couldn't help but said with a wry smile: "It's said that lovesickness is bitter, but I used to think it was hypocritical, but I don't know what it's like until the real thing is approaching."

Finding a hidden place, Ji Linglan directly entered the dissection room, put the wooden box Fu Nanling gave him, and some valuable jewelry into the locker, and sent Tang Tang a message to ask him to put the jewelry away Finding a bank to deposit it and always putting it in a locker is not an option.Afterwards, he changed into the clothes of the servants of Linguo, and then he left the dissecting room.

After waiting for almost half an hour, a mighty convoy drove over from a distance. Ji Linglan hid in a hidden corner, waiting for their approach, and then blended into the crowd.

"Zhang Chun, where did you die, I haven't seen you for a long time?" A small attendant said in a low voice when he saw Ji Linglan approaching.

Ji Linglan's heart tightened, and then she said mysteriously: "Shh, the master asked me to do something, what are you talking about?"

In order to facilitate Ji Linglan's safety, Princess Yaohua agreed with him on Li Daitao's stiff strategy, and selected one of Ji Mingqiu's personal attendants who was similar in stature to Ji Linglan, and asked him to pretend to be his identity and sneak into the neighboring country's diplomatic mission. Return to Linguo together.Ji Linglan learned about Zhang Chun's habits and the people around him in detail, and asked Lu Jiu to disguise him as Zhang Chun. As long as he pays a little attention, it shouldn't be a problem to get away with it.The real Zhang Chun had left the city early in the morning.

Sun Hong quickly looked around and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing so mysteriously?"

Ji Linglan raised her eyebrows and said, "You really want to know? If I tell you, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Sun Hong quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't, don't, I don't want to know, I just didn't ask anything."

"You're smart, kid. Well, I won't tell you anymore, I have to report back to my master." Ji Linglan walked towards the chariot where Princess Yaohua was.

Coming to the chariot, Ji Linglan bowed and said, "Princess, I have something to report."

Ji Pingting lifted the curtain of the car to look at it, and said, "Go forward and answer."

"Yes, I obey." Ji Linglan stepped forward, whispered a few words to Ji Pingting, then stepped aside, bowing and waiting for the order.

Ji Pingting nodded and said, "Understood, you can go down."

"Yes, county lord."

What Ji Linglan did was just a formality, to prove his previous rhetoric.He returned to Sun Hong's side, looked at the people around him, and corresponded one by one with what Zhang Chun said, carefully remembering it in his heart so as not to show his feet.

It will take more than a month to travel from the capital of Fu country to the capital of Lin country, but fortunately there is no need to go by water, otherwise Ji Linglan will suffer.After walking around like this for more than half a month, the angel festival group came to Jiaocheng territory, seeing that it was getting late, but failed to reach Jiaocheng, Princess Yaohua ordered to camp on the spot.

Ji Pingting came to Ji Linglan's side and said, "Zhang Chun, father needs you, follow me."

Ji Linglan responded and followed Ji Pingting out.When they came to the tent, Ji Linglan took the initiative to lift the curtain, bowed and stood aside, waiting for Ji Pingting to enter the tent, and then walked in.

Princess Yaohua looked at Ji Linglan, and said softly: "Alan, you are tired after walking for a day, please sit down and rest."

"Thank you, princess." Ji Linglan sat down on the outside futon.

Ji Pingting pushed the fruit plate on the table to Ji Linglan's side, and said with a smile, "Brother, try this lychee, it's very sweet."

Ji Linglan nodded, picked up a lychee, tasted it, and said, "It's sweet and juicy, it's really good."

"Brother, if you bear with it, you will be able to leave the border of Fu State in a few more days. Then you can restore your status and come back to the imperial capital with us in a chariot."

"It's okay, it's just walking. I practice martial arts for two hours a day in the palace, which is much more tiring." Ji Linglan looked at Princess Yaohua and said, "Princess, before returning to the imperial capital, I still As Zhang Chun, let's mix with the envoys, so as not to cause trouble."

"Alan, are you afraid that someone will harm you?"

Ji Linglan nodded without hesitation, and said: "There are assassinations in Fu's capital, not to mention returning to Lin's country, sailing carefully for ten thousand years, it's better to be tired than to lose your life."

"Alan is right." Princess Yaohua pondered for a while, and said: "Well, let's split into two groups. Ting'er and I will follow the team to attract the other party's attention. Ajie, you and Alan pretend to be Change up, dress lightly and ride lightly, take a shortcut and return to the imperial capital."

Ji Mingqiu resolutely refused: "No. My goal is too big. If I leave, it will definitely attract suspicion. Besides, you and Ting'er are not good at martial arts. If you encounter an assassination, you will definitely sit and wait for death. I can't take risks."

Seeing that Princess Yaohua frowned, Ji Linglan was about to get angry, and said in a timely manner: "I don't agree either. If something happens to either the princess or Ting'er, I will have a bad conscience for the rest of my life. Rather than doing this, I would rather die it's me."

Princess Yaohua's expression froze, and she said slowly: "Alan, you are the one they want to assassinate, how could Ting'er and I be in danger, and there are so many guards protecting you, don't listen to your father's alarmist words."

Seeing that her parents might quarrel, Ji Pingting quickly smoothed things over and said, "Mom, why don't I take my brother back to the imperial capital on horseback."

Princess Yaohua frowned slightly, questioning: "Do you know the way?"

"I don't know the way, but the shadow guards do. You can send a few more shadow guards to protect us."

Princess Yaohua pondered for a while, then said: "It's not impossible. What do you think?"

Seeing Princess Yaohua looking at him, Ji Mingqiu thought for a while and said, "Yes."

"Then it's settled!" Ji Pingting couldn't hide her elation.

Ji Linglan said with some concern: "Is this really okay? Ting'er suddenly disappeared, and they will be suspicious."

"Let's just say that Ting'er was infected with the cold, and then let the maid pretend to be her and lie in the car to recuperate." The more Princess Yaohua thought about it, the more she felt that this plan was feasible, and she said with a smile: "You and Ting'er don't have to hurry, let She will take you to visit the great rivers and mountains of Linguo, learn about the local customs and customs of Linguo, as long as you arrive at the imperial capital before the Qiqiao Festival next month."

"Great." Ji Pingting excitedly tugged at Ji Linglan's arm, and said, "Brother, in a few days it will be the Flower City Lantern Festival. Let's go and see it. It is said to be very lively. I have never been there before." .”

Seeing that the three of them had already made a decision, Ji Linglan didn't say anything more, and said, "If that's the case, let's go and have a look."

"Princess, dinner is ready." A notification came from outside the tent.

Princess Yaohua looked at Ji Linglan and said, "Let's pass on the meal."

Ji Linglan quickly stood up, bowed and stood aside.

The maid opened the curtain, and then three attendants came in, each holding a food box in their hands. After the four saluted, they put the food on the table respectively, and then bowed and left the tent.

"Princess, I'm going back too, so as not to be suspicious."

"Brother, you can leave after eating."

"No, it's an extra problem."

"Okay then. When we return to the border of Linguo, I will take my brother to eat all over Linguo."

Ji Linglan got out of the tent and walked towards the burning bonfire.

Seeing him coming, Sun Hong hurriedly greeted him: "Chunzi, come quickly, the pancakes are just baked, and there is broth."

Ji Linglan responded, went to sit next to Sun Hong, took the pancakes he handed over, and said, "You're the one who misses me."

Sun Hong said with a smile: "What is the relationship between the two of us? If I don't think about you, who else can I think about?"

"I miss your wife." Ji Linglan spoke in Zhang Chun's tone.

"Hey, what's the matter, you kid must be jealous." Sun Hong laughed heartily twice, and then said: "You said you pick and choose all day long, and now you don't even have a daughter-in-law, really. Think of yourself as a father?"

"What do you know, kid? I'm not going to let it go. With my condition and appearance, I have to find a pretty little lady no matter what." Ji Linglan joked with Sun Hong while eating.

"What's your condition? Aren't you the servants of the princess mansion? They are all servants who serve others. It would be nice to have a woman who can fall in love with you."

"If you say you are lucky, you married a handsome and virtuous daughter-in-law, why didn't I have such a life?"

"Hey, you kid is really right. I'm just lucky. My daughter-in-law was pregnant before I came out. Counting the time, it's been six months now. In a few months, I can be a father." .” Sun Hong’s face was filled with a happy smile.

Ji Linglan also raised the corner of her mouth and punched him on the chest, saying: "You're fine, kid, you're going to be a father so soon."

"Hey, don't just envy me, hurry up and find a wife, give birth to a fat boy, and make your mother happy too."

"There's no need to rush this matter. You have to find someone you like, so that the two of you can live a happy life together." The two chatted while eating.

At midnight, Ji Linglan was leaning against the big tree to take a nap, when he suddenly heard a 'click', he opened his eyes and looked up at the big tree, under the dim moonlight, he vaguely saw a figure.Alarm bells rang out in his heart, and he shouted: "Be alert, there are people in the tree!"

In the dead of night, a loud shout suddenly came, waking everyone up. They stood up neatly from the ground, holding their weapons tightly.Seeing that they had missed their whereabouts, the people on the tree stopped hiding, clenched their short knives tightly, and rushed towards the nearest Ji Linglan.

Ji Linglan quickly rolled on the spot to avoid the assassin's attack, then drew out her dagger and looked at the assassin vigilantly. "Shua, Shua, Shua", dozens of black shadows appeared in front of everyone, black clothes, black trousers and black face scarves, except for the eyes and hands, the whole body was tightly wrapped, so it was difficult to be seen walking in the dark night.

Yao Yuan, the commander of the guards, shouted anxiously: "There are assassins, protect the princess!"

Before Yao Yuan finished speaking, those assassins rushed towards the crowd, and immediately the two sides exchanged hands.The sound of clashing weapons and the shrill screams can be heard endlessly.

Princess Yaohua rushed out of the big tent, followed by Ji Mingqiu and Ji Pingting, they hurriedly searched for Ji Linglan's whereabouts in the crowd, but the scene was in chaos, and the moonlight was not bright, so it was impossible to tell who was who in a short time who is it.

Ji Linglan dodged the assassin's long sword, put away the dagger, drew out the long knife at his waist, and looked for an assassin to bully him.The assassin raised his sword to block, the sword collided, making a crisp sound, then rubbed the blade, and stabbed Ji Linglan in the chest.Ji Linglan quickly backed away, sideways to pass the long sword, and then turned around and hit the assassin's chest with an elbow.The assassin blocked with his left hand, but his strength was too weak, and he let out a muffled grunt.

The assassin retreated, and Ji Linglan stepped forward, flipping his wrist, holding the short knife upside down, and stabbing at the assassin again and again.The long sword was too long, and Ji Linglan didn't give him a chance to distance himself, so he could only dodge passively. One couldn't dodge, and the short knife stabbed the assassin's waist. He couldn't help screaming, and subconsciously covered the wound, forgetting to dodge There was another sharp pain. He looked down and saw that the short knife hit his chest.

Seeing the desperate and unwilling eyes of the assassin when he fell, Ji Linglan was stunned, and suddenly shouted in his ear: "Zhang Chun get out of the way!"

Ji Linglan was alert in an instant, before turning around in time, she rushed forward and rolled on the spot, and when she stood up again, she felt a burning pain in her back.

Sun Hong looked at Ji Linglan and said angrily, "Zhang Chun, what the hell are you doing!"

While Sun Hong was speaking, he didn't notice a figure approaching quietly behind him. Ji Linglan's heart tightened, and she quickly shouted: "Sun Hong, be careful behind you!"

Ji Linglan didn't have time to think about it, she pulled out the dagger and threw it out, hitting the assassin's heart, but the assassin's long sword also stabbed Sun Hong at the same time.

Ji Linglan stepped forward quickly, grabbed Sun Hong's body, pushed back the assassin who was approaching him, dragged him away from the battlefield, and checked his injuries.The long sword pierced Sun Hong's back waist, and the wound was not too deep. Judging by the speed of the bleeding, the artery should not be injured. Whether the internal organs were injured or not can only be determined after surgery.

Because of their yelling, Princess Yaohua and the others quickly locked onto Ji Linglan and hurried over. Seeing blood on his body, they were about to speak when Ji Linglan interrupted.

"The slave has seen the princess, general."

Princess Yaohua was taken aback, looked at Sun Hong who was lying on the ground, and asked, "How is he injured?"

"It should not be life-threatening, but the bleeding needs to be stopped immediately."

"Come here, go to the imperial physician to treat him."

Ji Linglan understood Princess Yaohua's intention, looked down at Sun Hong, and asked, "How do you feel?"

Sun Hong said weakly: "I can't die, don't worry, I...my wife is still waiting for me at home."

Seeing that he was conscious, Ji Linglan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, bent down to pick him up, and walked straight towards the tent.When Ji Linglan walked out of the tent, the battle was over. Although those assassins were not weak in force, they were only good at assassination. Once they were discovered, they would face hard steel face to face. They were really no better than soldiers, not to mention the difference in their numbers nearly ten times.

Seeing Ji Linglan coming out, Princess Yaohua hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Is Ah Lan injured?"

Ji Linglan shook her head and said, "No, the blood on her body belongs to other people."

Princess Yaohua couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when she heard the words. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Ji Pingting next to her say "Oh".

"Mother, something bit me..."

Before she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell backwards.

Seeing this, Ji Linglan hurriedly stepped forward to support her body, and pulled her into her arms. Just as she was about to check what was going on, she quietly opened her eyes and smiled.

Ji Linglan was startled for a moment, then she understood, and said, "Princess, the princess is poisoned."

Princess Yaohua understood instantly, she pretended to be in a hurry and said: "Send the princess to the tent quickly, and seek treatment from the imperial physician!"

Ji Linglan picked up Ji Pingting, walked towards the tent, and gently put it on the blanket.Looking at her by the candlelight, she saw that her face was blue and her lips were purple, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Ting'er, are you really okay?"

"Don't worry, brother, these lips are drawn by the lipstick that brother gave me, hehe."

Some time ago, Ji Linglan gave Ji Pingting a complete set of cosmetics as a gift in return, all of which were custom-made.

Ji Linglan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

The imperial doctor came in hurriedly with the medicine box in hand, and when he saw Princess Yaohua, he bowed and said: "The old minister sees the princess."

"Doctor Guo doesn't need to be polite, Ting'er has been poisoned, please see how to solve it."

Guo Qin quickly responded, and came to Ji Pingting to help her feel the pulse, but saw Ji Pingting opened her eyes and blinked.Guo Qin was startled, and turned to look at Princess Yaohua.

Princess Yaohua said calmly: "Doctor Guo, the princess is unconscious now, is the poison hard to cure?"

Guo Qin regained consciousness in an instant, withdrew his hand and said, "Princess Hui, this poisonous old official has never seen it before, and it will take time to prepare the antidote. However, the pulse of the princess is stable, and it should not be life-threatening for the time being. Please rest assured, princess."

Princess Yaohua nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Then, Imperial Physician Lao Guo will take care of it."

"Princess speaks seriously, this is the duty of a veteran."

While the two were talking, Ji Mingqiu came in from the outside, holding a token in his hand.

Princess Yaohua asked aloud: "How is the situation outside?"

Ji Mingqiu didn't answer, but looked at Guo Qin who was at the side.

Guo Qin understood, bowed and said: "Princess Qi, the old minister still needs to prepare an antidote for the princess, so I will leave first."

"I'm sorry, Doctor Guo."

Guo Qin carried the medicine box and bowed out of the tent.

Only then did Ji Mingqiu say aloud: "All the assassins outside were killed, and none of them survived. Only a token was found from them."

Princess Yaohua took the token and looked at it, then said with a frown: "Is it the Fu army?"

"Impossible." Ji Linglan retorted subconsciously, and then said: "If something happened to the princess in Fu country, it would definitely cause disputes between the two countries. Now that Emperor Fu is dying, all the princes are trying their best to fight for the throne, and there will be no extra problems at all. Someone framed it, otherwise how could the assassination carry the token on him."

Princess Yaohua nodded, and said: "Ah Lan is right. Given the current situation in the Fu Kingdom, he would not do such a stupid thing. It seems that the father's illness is more serious than expected, so that the man presses I can't bear it anymore, I want to get rid of our stumbling block, and blame Fu Guo by the way."

Ji Mingqiu answered: "Thanks to Ah Lan's vigilance today, otherwise there would be a heavy loss."

Ji Linglan smiled, and said, "I happened to meet you too."

Princess Yaohua said softly: "Alan, you don't have to be too modest, this time is really thanks to you."

"Yes, yes, my brother is smart. With just one look from me, he knows what I want to do. Our cooperation is perfect!"

Princess Yaohua scolded with a smile: "You ghost, you just scared me, I thought you were really bitten by something."

"If you are injured, it is still possible. Poisoning is a fantasy. I have five poisons on me. Which poison would dare to approach me?"

Ji Pingting's proud little expression really made people laugh.

"Yeah, you're the smartest." Princess Yaohua restrained her smile, with a worried look on her face.

Ji Mingqiu asked with concern: "Is Yao'er worried about the emperor's condition?"

"Well, when we left the imperial capital, my father was in good health and in good spirits. It's only been a few months, why is he seriously ill?"

Ji Pingting understood Princess Yaohua's meaning almost instantly, and said, "Mother suspects that the emperor's grandfather was murdered?"

"They have all extended their hands to Fu Guo, not to mention the people around them." Princess Yaohua's face gradually turned cold, and she said: "If someone really attacks Father, no matter who it is, I will not show mercy!"

Ji Mingqiu stepped forward and embraced Princess Yaohua, saying: "Don't worry, Yaoer, we will speed up tomorrow and rush back to the imperial capital as soon as possible."

"Then what about my brother and I? Do we still have to divide the troops into two groups as planned?"

"Yes. You and Alan will follow the original plan, ride lightly and ride along small roads, and don't rush back to Beijing. It is best to rush to the imperial capital after confirming that we have returned to Beijing."

Seeing what Princess Yaohua said, Ji Linglan guessed: "Princess, is she afraid that the other party will die?"

Princess Yaohua was stunned, then smiled and said: "Alan is really smart, she can see through everything. I'm afraid they will jump the wall in a hurry and launch a palace change, and your brothers and sisters are our weakness. As long as you are safe and sound, Aqiu and I will have nothing to do with you." Fear nothing."

Ji Linglan looked at Princess Yaohua with complicated emotions. It has been more than a month since we met each other, but he still couldn't bring him into it, and he was still called a 'princess', but Princess Yaohua was always gentle and caring towards him. , which made Ji Linglan feel ashamed.
