Chapter 513 Then I Will Find An Ning?
Inside Ruyi Tower.
While Li Piaomiao was talking to Old Li, Lin Jiangnian came to the first floor and casually browsed the information that had been updated in the past year on the Lin Wangfu Intelligence Network.
Lin Jiangnian had no idea what Li Piaomiao was going to talk to Old Li about. But since she had come all the way to Lin Wangfu, it was unlikely that she was coming to reunite with her family.
Imperial uncle?
Lin Jiangnian had indeed not expected that Old Li had such an identity?
As the imperial uncle of the Daning Dynasty, he had been hiding in Ruyi Tower for more than ten years without changing his name?
This was somewhat incredible.
One had to wonder what kind of entanglement had occurred between Senior Li and the deceased emperor?
Lin Jiangnian planned to go back and find Old Li to find out more, and for now he would not disturb the uncle and niece's reunion.
Lin Jiangnian's attention was focused on the intelligence network on the first floor of Ruyi Tower.
After a year, the intelligence network had been updated a lot.
While reading the intelligence, Lin Jiangnian soon discovered something...
In the past year, Ruyi Tower's intelligence network still spread throughout the dynasty, secretly monitoring all the famous families and even all the movements of the royal family in the capital. Almost all the major events that happened in the world in the past year were clearly recorded here.
There are even many details that have not been spread in the world, but under the intelligence network of the Linwang Mansion, everything has nowhere to hide.
What Lin Jiangnian did not expect was that the intelligence recorded his whereabouts in the past year without any reservation.
From Lin Jiangnian leaving Linjiang City, heading north, the conflict with the Wang family in Xunyang County, and the attack outside the capital. Even after arriving in the capital, he was framed by the third prince, entangled with various forces, supported the secret Tiansi Chen Changqing to take the throne, until the emperor died, the third prince rebelled, and Lin Jiangnian was involved in the royal struggle...
Even Lin Jiangnian's unusual relationship with Shen Lingjun, Liu Su and others was mentioned. Even, there is the daughter of Prime Minister Zhao...
The intelligence shows that "Your Highness has a close relationship with Prime Minister Zhao's daughter Zhao Xi. They have traveled together in Nanhu Lake. Your Highness has been in and out of Miss Zhao's boudoir many times..."
Although it was not mentioned in detail, it also reflects a situation... Lin Jiangnian's whereabouts during this visit to Beijing were all under the eyes of the Lin Wang Mansion.
To be precise, everything should be under the control of Lin Hengzhong.
After realizing this, Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised, but then he felt it was quite reasonable.
Strictly speaking, Lin Jiangnian's journey to Beijing this year did not encounter any danger. The only most dangerous one was the assassination on the night before entering Beijing!
But even that night, Zheng Zhiming was still secretly protecting him. Even if the situation got out of control later and Zheng Zhiming was defeated by Shen An, Li Piaomiao suddenly appeared at the critical moment...
And the appearance of Li Piaomiao was also the backup plan expected by Lin Hengzhong!
With the intelligence spies of the Lin Wang Mansion all over the world, it is not difficult to know the whereabouts of anyone, let alone his own prince.
On the other hand, when Lin Jiangnian was about to leave for the capital, Lin Hengzhong had just experienced the pain of losing his son. In this case, how could he be so at ease to let Lin Jiangnian go to the capital alone?
Looking back now, everything seems to make sense again...
From the beginning, Lin Hengzhong did not intend to let Lin Jiangnian go to the capital alone. He had prepared a perfect back-up plan in secret, and secretly protected Lin Jiangnian's safety along the way.
Once Lin Jiangnian really encountered a crisis, the people in the dark would show up.
After understanding this, Lin Jiangnian felt emotional and a little sad.
He originally thought that Lin Hengzhong was really so cruel, and even planned to come back to settle accounts with this Lin Wangye after being attacked in the capital.
Now thinking back, I realized... this Lin Wangye really has good intentions.
After a moment of sighing, Lin Jiangnian collected his thoughts and continued to read the information in front of him.
Simply skipping the information about himself in the past year, Lin Jiangnian continued to read forward. So far, he still has some doubts that he has not figured out.
With such a powerful intelligence network in the Lin Wang Mansion, why can't the two forces that assassinated and rescued the Lin Wang Fei back then be found?
Even the two mysterious forces in the ruined temple a year ago are still missing!
Is it really that these forces are too mysterious, or is their origin too big?
So big that even the Lin Wang Mansion can't find it?
Lin Jiangnian turned out the past information and searched it carefully, but still found nothing.
Of course, it can't be completely nothing.
Although no useful information was found, another guess was confirmed from the information of the Lin Wang Mansion... The Xu Wang of Xuzhou had the intention of raising an army to rebel.
Lin Jiangnian only guessed that there was such a possibility from various signs, but the intelligence investigation of the Lin Wangfu can be said to have investigated the Xu Wangfu clearly.
In the past six months, the Xu Wangfu has been active, and the transfer of personnel and military activities in Xuzhou have become more and more frequent.
Especially half a year ago, the guards of the border of Xuzhou and Zhongzhou were replaced. This seems to be an ordinary transfer of officials after the expiration of their terms, but it has to be doubted at this juncture.
And from other intelligence, the court does not seem to be aware of this...
After Li Ci Ning ascended the throne, almost all his energy was used to stabilize the court and appease the people's livelihood, and he did not have much energy to pay attention to the situation of the vassal kings.
Even if there was, with the current situation in the court, I am afraid it would be powerless.
In this case, if King Xu really rebels and catches the court off guard, then the court may not react yet, and King Xu's army will be at the gates of the city?
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian realized why Li Piaomiao left anxiously a few days ago. I think she also realized the seriousness of the situation and tried to contact the emperor in the capital!
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the information in front of him, and began to think in his mind. If King Xu really rebels in the future, the situation in the world will be in chaos. At that time, what should the Linwang Mansion in the south do?
Is it to raise troops to support the king?
Or sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight? Sit back and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman?
If it is him, what choice should he make?
Lin Jiangnian's eyes and thoughts gradually followed the attic window to look out the window. The lake outside the window was sparkling under the refraction of the sun, and the fish swam shallowly, and the water was rippling. In the distance, the green plants were green, a vibrant scene.
Two familiar figures appeared near the lake.
The twins were very different in stature and temperament, but looked exactly the same. Standing on the shore, they looked at the Ruyi Tower in the middle of the lake, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity.
Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian put away his thoughts. He looked back upstairs, got up and walked out of the attic.
…
Outside the attic, by the lake.
A pair of twin sisters appeared, standing on the river bank, looking at the scenery ahead.
The guards hiding in the dark knew their identities and did not stop them.
Jinxiu, wearing a lake blue tassel skirt, stood on the river bank, looking up at the towering and majestic attic in front of her, with surprise in her beautiful eyes.
"Is this the Ruyi Tower?"
Her fair face was not made up, but delicate and beautiful, with a bit more mature feminine temperament. That beautiful face showed a faint smile, very sunny.
She looked at the legendary Ruyi Tower in front of her with curiosity. She had heard of this place before coming here. She heard that the Ruyi Tower contained treasures from most of the world. It was a treasure house whose value could not be measured by money, and even had more treasures than the treasures in the imperial treasury.
What she saw with her own eyes was even more spectacular than Jinxiu had imagined.
Behind Jinxiu, An Ning, who was wearing a white silk skirt, stood four or five meters behind Jinxiu. Her pretty face was stern, and she held the long sword tightly in her hand. She also looked up at the scene in front of her.
Looking at the Ruyi Tower standing in the middle of the lake, there was some curiosity and hope in her eyes.
"Hey, why are you standing behind me?"
Jinxiu turned around and saw An Ning so far away from her. She waved to her: "Come here."
An Ning glanced at Jinxiu, then at the slightly rippling lake water by the lake. As if she remembered something, her face became tighter and she shook her head.
Instead of going over, she took two steps back.
Jinxiu: "..."
Is there something wrong with her?
Looking at An Ning's strange reaction, Jinxiu was a little puzzled. What happened to her?
However, Jinxiu didn't have time to think about it. A figure appeared outside the attic not far away.
Lin Jiangnian went down the attic, crossed the arch bridge across the lake, and came to the sisters on the shore.
"Why are you here?"
"Your Highness."
Seeing the Highness come out, Jinxiu's face suddenly showed a faint smile, but it quickly restrained: "An Ning and I are free, so we came out for a walk and came to see the princess by the way."
Then, Jinxiu asked again: "Where did you abduct the princess?"
"Your princess is busy with business."
Lin Jiangnian ignored Jinxiu's emotional tone. This little maid served him for half the night last night. She was exhausted and it was normal for her to have some emotions in her heart.
How could he care about her?
"Business?"
Jinxiu subconsciously glanced at Ruyi Tower. She only knew that her princess was going to Ruyi Tower, but she didn't know what she was going to do.
She was just a little curious. What business could the princess have in Ruyi Tower?
Lin Jiangnian didn't explain too much. His eyes fell on Jinxiu's delicate face, which was pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at it.
"What are you looking at?!"
Jinxiu quickly noticed Lin Jiangnian's gaze and immediately became alert...Since the relationship with His Highness broke through, she felt more and more that His Highness's eyes were not right when he looked at her.
The kind of eyes that seemed to want to "bully" her in public.
This made Jinxiu worried...An Ning was still there!
"Can't you look?"
"No!"
Jinxiu's face flushed slightly. His Highness's ambiguous tone made her shy and angry at the same time...An Ning was still there. What nonsense was he talking about?
What if he was discovered?
"Okay, then I won't look."
Lin Jiangnian moved his eyes away from her and then moved to the sword-holding girl standing behind Jinxiu.
…They all look the same anyway, so it doesn’t matter who you look at!
And Jinxiu also quickly realized where Lin Jiangnian’s eyes were going, and immediately became more nervous.
“You, why are you looking at An Ning?!”
Jinxiu’s tone was a little exasperated.
“If you don’t let me look, then I can only look at An Ning?”
As he said that, Lin Jiangnian still smiled and greeted An Ning: “Good morning, An Ning!”
The stunned An Ning suddenly heard Lin Jiangnian’s voice, subconsciously turned around, and when she met Lin Jiangnian’s gaze, she was a little panicked and quickly lowered her head.
No response, no attention!
Jinxiu, on the other hand, became more and more angry and turned Lin Jiangnian's gaze back: "No! Xu! Look! An! Ning!"
Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on Jinxiu again, looking at her cheeks that were flushed with anger, and smiled half-heartedly: "You are a little unreasonable, let me see what happened to An Ning? An Ning hasn't said she has any objections yet. Woolen cloth?"
"you……"
Jinxiu's face turned red with anger: "I don't want to see it anyway!"
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
Lin Jiangnian said.
Jinxiu became even more angry, adding a bit of beauty to her originally rosy face.
Ashamed and angry.
She knew that this guy did it on purpose, but she was still worried... Did His Highness reveal his true intentions as a joke?
He really has evil intentions towards An Ning? !
On the other side, An Ning stood four or five meters away from the shore. After making sure that Lin Jiangnian was not looking at her, the little girl quietly raised her head again. Those confused and somewhat curious eyes quietly fell on Lin Jiangnian not far away again.
She looked at Lin Jiangnian quietly, and then at Jinxiu. A trace of doubt seemed to gradually appear on her tight and cold face. There seemed to be a bit more suspicion in those originally confused eyes.
She still held the sword in her arms, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the two people in front of her.
...The two of them, why do they feel like something is wrong?
…
On the other side, after Lin Jiangnian made Jinxiu angry, he softly comforted her for a while, and then asked: "How is it going? Is my palace no worse than your palace?"
"It's too bad!"
Jinxiu curled her lips.
"Are you telling lies again?"
Jinxiu hummed lightly and did not refute.
If you really want to say it, compared to the Imperial Palace, this Linwang Mansion is indistinguishable, each has its own characteristics. The royal garden scenery of the Imperial Palace is considered unique in the world, but the landscape garden of Linwang Mansion is not bad either.
Especially the scale of Prince Lin's Palace is no less than that of the Imperial Palace.
And when she was outside the city, what Lin Jiangnian said was right... When she was wandering around the mansion this morning, she almost got lost...
Lin Jiangnian suggested with a smile: "If I have time later, why don't I take you for a walk around the city. It's a rare trip, but Linjiang City is no worse than your capital city!"
Hearing this, Jinxiu's heart moved slightly. She really wanted to go out and see the scenery and culture of the south.
But soon, Jinxiu noticed something again.
"Wait, me?"
Jinxiu looked at Lin Jiangnian suspiciously and said warily: "You mean... just the two of us?"
"What if?"
"You won't take Princess and An Ning with you?"
"Why are you bringing a tow oil bottle?"
Lin Jiangnian said matter-of-factly: "Bringing them along won't it affect the relationship between you and me?"
"Build your head!"
Jinxiu immediately blushed and said angrily, "I don't want to go alone with you!"
Go out with him alone?
Jinxiu couldn't even imagine how she would be bullied by His Highness?
The experience last night is still vivid in her mind, is her legs still a little weak now?
Who knows what His Highness would take her to do if he tricked her out?
Never go alone!
"Then I find peace?"
"Go away, if you dare to use An Ning to threaten me again, I..."
Jinxiu was completely furious: "I will die with you!"
