In the forest, Lin Yang and the others were worried when someone suddenly came to report.
"Milord, it's urgent. It's said that it was sent from Guilin.”
A soldier handed over a letter.
Lin Yang frowned slightly and took a look.
"It was indeed sent by King Jingjiang.”
"So fast."
After spending more than ten breaths, Lin Yang finished reading all the letters, and his face was a little gloomy.
"Milord, what happened?"
The county magistrate's expression was grave.
Lin Yang turned his head and stared at the magistrate.""Are you sure that person was taken away by the people of Qiongzhou?”
The old man replied," Sir, as you know, I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I'm not 100% sure. However, according to the clues I know, I'm at least 70% sure."”
"I understand. Let's go back."
Lin Yang said anxiously.
After saying that, he led the way and left. The county magistrate had a bad feeling in his heart.
After returning to the Hai An Institute, Lin Yang packed his luggage and prepared to leave.
"Sir, are you leaving? What if the people of Qiongzhou really attacked?”
The county magistrate said with some fear.
After that incident, he really couldn't sleep or eat well.
"I don't think so now."
Lin Yang thought about it carefully and said.
He felt that Zhu Di of Beiping was too weak at the moment and might die one day.
The best thing to do now was to wait and see, or work with Zhu Di.
Instead of attacking Leizhou.
Moreover, with the military strength of Qiongzhou, even if they had dozens of firearms, it would be difficult for them to cause much of an impact on Leizhou.
Without saying anything else, Lin Yang led his men out of the city.
However, not long after they left the city gate, they were stopped by someone.
"Are you the Governor of Leizhou Prefecture, Lord Lin Yanglin?”
The person who stopped him was dressed in brocade clothes. His eyes were sharp and his attitude was polite, but there was arrogance in his bones.
Even in front of him, the governor of a prefecture, that arrogance was always retained.
"Who are you? How dare you block my path?"
Lin Yang frowned, deep in thought.
"Milord, are you leaving from the north gate to return to Leizhou City? His Highness had expected that Daren would make such a choice, so he specifically instructed me to wait for Daren here.”
the man in brocade said slowly.
Lin Yang's eyes narrowed when he heard that.”
"Of course, His Highness has invited you to have a chat.”
"Hehe, playing this kind of trick is really boring.”
Lin Yang sneered.
The letter he received earlier was from King Jingjiang.
It said that someone had gone missing here and that he had to help him find her. There was also some nonsense about family matters. It could have been written in a few sentences, but it was written in a long paragraph, causing him to take a long time to finish reading it.
In other words, King Jingjiang had already arrived here, but he had even gotten a fancy letter for him to see his reaction. Then, he had sent someone to intercept him at the city gate.
Was this a show of strength?
It didn't look like it.
"Lead the way."
Lin Yang said calmly.
Although he was the governor of a prefecture, his official position was still much lower than that of a prince.
……
Opposite the yamen.
This was a restaurant.
Lin Yang followed that person here and saw him. With just a glance, he knew that the person was King Jingjiang.
There was nothing else. Her temperament and attire were too eye-catching.
"The Governor of Leizhou Prefecture, Lin Yang, greets Your Highness.”
Lin Yang bowed.
"No need for formalities, no need for formalities. Lord Lin is busy going home. It was this king's fault for being rude and forcing you to come over.”
King Jingjiang, Zhu Zanyi, said with a kind smile.
Lin Yang sneered in his heart and sat down. He said loudly,
"Your Highness, there's no need to beat around the bush. I'll tell you the truth. I didn't catch him.”
"Of course. Why would Lord Lin capture my men?" Zhu Zanyi laughed. However, I will have to trouble Lord Lin with one thing. When you find the person who captured my subordinate, tell him that the person surnamed Yun is very important to this king. Tell him to let him go, and this king will pretend that nothing has happened.”
Lin Yang was helpless.
The other party's words seemed to ask for his help, but in reality, he was certain that he was the one who had captured them.
"Your Highness, according to my guess, the person should have been captured by Qiongzhou.”
"Qiongzhou?"
Zhu Zanyi frowned slightly.
The plan he gave Mr. Yun was to sow discord between Leizhou and Qiongzhou.
Now, Lin Yang had clearly captured his people and refused to let them go, but he had even mentioned Qiongzhou in private.
Was she telling him that she already knew his plan?
Or did Mr. Yun confess everything?
Zhu Zanyi thought for a moment and said,"No matter who caught him, I hope that Mr. Yun can come back and forget about the past."”
Yun Wenruo knew a lot of his secrets and had to bring them back.
She could also know how much Lin Yang had asked so that she could be on guard.
"Then your expectations may be dashed, because the person was really captured by Qiongzhou. Your Highness doesn't seem to believe it?”
"Does Qiongzhou have the strength to capture people in your territory? No matter how you look at it, it's impossible."
"It's entirely possible. Last time Qiongzhou came, he brought dozens of firearms and my men suffered heavy casualties.”
"Wait! What did you say? Musket?"
Zhu Zanyi's expression suddenly changed. He was shocked, but then he couldn't help but laugh, as if he had seen something very funny.
