"Damn you! It's my first time meeting the Cloud Marquis, yet I'm so embarrassed. It's all your fault.”
After returning to the boudoir, Cai Yan was so angry that she puffed up her cheeks and scolded Diao Chan. This was the Prince Charming in her heart. Not only did he not deliberately dress up, but he also had to meet her in such an embarrassing manner.
"Yo, my good-tempered sister is angry today. I wanted to help you check it out. Besides, my voice was so soft. Who knew that the Cloud Marquis's ears were so sharp?”
Diao Chan was also feeling depressed, but she was better at hiding it. She pretended to be indifferent, but in her heart, she was constantly cursing herself for being reckless. This time, the Cloud Marquis would leave an indecent impression on her.
"I heard from Uncle Lu that the Cloud Marquis could even hear someone pulling a bowstring within a hundred steps. Really."
"So powerful?"
Diao Chan exclaimed with stars in her eyes.
"What do you think? How did the Cloud Marquis 'identity come about? They were not obtained through scheming and flattery, but through killing on the battlefield.”
Cai Yan was one year older than Diao Chan and lectured her younger sister like an older sister.
"Then you're lucky. Did Uncle Cai invite him here today to help you get married?”
" Look at you, girl. You're spouting nonsense again. I don't know the Cloud Marquis at all. They're here…"
Cai Yan stopped halfway through her sentence. She didn't want to tell the naive Diao Chan about the secret fight in the court. Moreover, this wasn't something a woman like her should be concerned about.
"Tell me."
"Oh, it's nothing. Uncle Lu was besieged by 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in Changshe, and the Cloud Marquis led his men to Changshe and resolved the crisis. He should be thanking him.”
After saying that, Cai Yan felt lucky for Lin Chuan. Although Yanmen County was located at the bitter cold border, at least there was no mutual deception in the court. He believed that it would be more suitable for him there.
He just didn't know if he would see her again after so many years.
When Diao Chan heard that they weren't here for a marriage alliance, she wasn't disappointed. Instead, she felt a thump. This feeling was very strange and she had never felt it before. She couldn't understand why.
"Sister, do you want to see the Cloud Marquis again?”
Diao Chan asked playfully.
"Hmph, you should think about how many days Uncle Wang will lock you up after you return to the residence.”
Cai Yan said weakly. If he didn't have a suitable eyesight, he probably wouldn't be able to see Lin Chuan again.
"Sigh, that's true. Looking at Godfather's appearance just now, he seemed to be very angry. No, why don't we go back and take a look? This time, I promise not to say a word!”
Diao Chan promised solemnly, but Cai Yan was not too willing. He was mainly worried that Lin Chuan's ears were too sensitive. However, after thinking about it, as long as he did not make a sound, it was unlikely that he would be discovered.
Under Diao Chan's instigation, the always obedient Cai Yan went to play and returned.
……
In the front hall of the Cai Residence, Lu Zhi returned and asked with a serious expression,
"Don't you guys feel that when Diao Chan and Cai Yan looked at Lin Chuan, their eyes were a little…"
After all, he was an experienced person, and he had seen through the mystery with one sentence.
As the saying goes, a father knows his daughter best. How could Wang Yun and Cai Yong not know? Cai Yong sighed.
"I think the Cloud Marquis has the same intention.”
"The Cloud Marquis has achieved great things at a young age. I think he will definitely become great in the future. If he can achieve this marriage, it might not be a bad story.”
Lu Zhi was very optimistic about Lin Chuan and felt that if this marriage was successful, if trouble arose in the future, he could at least rely on Lin Chuan's reputation to protect Cai Yan and Diao Chan and not bring disaster to his family.
"No!" As soon as Lu Zhi finished speaking, Wang Yun objected and continued,
"Originally, when a man and a woman are of age, they should get married. If they were really in love, with Cloud Marquis 'potential, Chan' Er and Yan 'Er would naturally be a good match for each other. However…it's not like you guys don't know what kind of place Yanmen County is.
From Zhang Yi, the herdsman of Bingzhou, to the fourteen counties of Yanmen Prefecture, which one of them wasn't a ruthless and ruthless person? Especially the Yanmen County Magistrate Yang Lin, who was clearly Zhang Rang's external force.
I believe that Linchuan is invincible in the battlefield, but the complexity and precipitous terrain of Yanmen County can be said to be no less than Luoyang City. I'm only afraid that even the Heaven's Favorite of his generation will not be able to escape from the hidden arrows.”
Wang Yun's words left Lu Zhi and Cai Yong speechless. Yanmen County could be said to be the most complicated county among the 13 states. There were corrupt officials, bandits, and nomads outside. However, the strange thing was that the local taxes had always been extremely high. Only they knew how many bones were forged here.
Moreover, the imperial court had sent a county governor to Yanmen County before. In the past five years, they had sent four people to Yanmen County. Three of them died on the way, and one disappeared into thin air after he went.
That was why they had decided to test the waters today. If Lin Chuan was willing to side with them, they could try to sign a joint petition to request Emperor Han Ling to replace Lin Chuan as the Prefectural Governor. However, Lin Chuan was not in the mood to side with them, so there was nothing they could do.
"The Cloud Marquis saved my life once. Moreover, he is also a pillar of the Great Han Dynasty. I feel that it is necessary to inform him of this matter so that he can be on guard.”
Lu Zhi understood Lin Chuan's unbending character. He was a man who dared to kill even an angel. However, when weapons were useless, he was worried that Lin Chuan would not be able to deal with the situation in Yanmen Prefecture.
"Sigh, what we know is limited. Besides, what's the use of telling him? You and I can't help.
I think it's better to talk to those two girls and persuade them not to have such thoughts. Otherwise, in the end, they will be sad.”
……
Their conversation was heard by Diao Chan and Cai Yan who were outside the side door. The two girls were stunned. They couldn't imagine that this officialdom was actually so complicated that it could kill without shedding blood.
"Big sister, I was thinking, should I tell these words to the Cloud Marquis?”
Diao Chan looked at Cai Yan probingly. The latter also had a worried expression. He pulled Diao Chan further away before saying,
"But we don't even know where the Cloud Marquis lives. We can't possibly go around asking around, right?”
Diao Chan rolled her watery eyes and raised her eyebrows.
"I have an idea. Tomorrow at this time, we will meet at the west gate.”
With that, Diao Chan slipped back to the Prince's mansion. Although she was only thirteen years old, she had more ideas than Cai Yan. In order to prevent Wang Yun from imprisoning her, she had tampered with the door in advance.
"Now we don't have to worry about not being able to get out tomorrow.”
