Lin Bi continued, “This entire journey, we have hastened along as if we are an ar But he not only was not exhausted, he would frequently tell some jokes and talk about his experiences to amuse you In addition, I can sense that he is not unfamiliar with military matters It is clear that if he has never enlisted, then heLittle sister, this ’s face flushed before it paled She rose, intending to go out, but was pulled back by Lin Bi Lin Bi questioned, “What are you going to do?”

In a rage, Lin Tong answered, “I want to go ask hi me … and elder sister?”

“I can tell that he is not deliberately deceiving you,” stated Lin Bi, shaking her head “This entire journey, he et close to you, neither did he made inquiries aboutholly unexpected He does not have the deliberate intentions of being a spy I a that there are surely so how he esteems his former master, little sister, what kind of individual can have a servant like this? Have you thought about this?”

Lin Tong’s heart palpitated with fear for so Ji had uttered Afterwards, herJi’s eyes whenever he talked about Jiang Zhe She could not help but mumble, “Elder sister, you don’t think … don’t think … that his htly “Originally, I would never make this kind of baseless conjecture However, with the fact that his master is also in the Eastern Sea, this has only arousedZhe went into seclusion, there was no one in this world who did not desire to find his whereabouts If this kind of individual is not properly controlled, no one can rest easily After carefully thinking things over, Jiang Zhe is no norist and also has Princess Changle of Ning by his side In addition, Princess Changle was originally the Queen of Southern Chu Then, thinking of Jiang Zhe’s conduct and behavior, it is ido and Southern Chu, but he can’t go there either because he forced its forent, it would be best if he never went to Shu in this lifetime Beyond that, the present situation in Shu is unstable Adopting the goal of reestablishi+ng Shu, the Eoes as they please If he were to re, it would be impossible for him to escape the authorities’ attention and notice If he came to Northern Han, he likely fears that ould take him captive In this enormous world, there is only one location that he can hide himself—the territory of the Marquis of the Eastern Sea

“At present, although the relationshi+p between the Marquis of the Eastern Sea and Great Yong has war Yong has a stubborn tee allegiance before Li Yuan has died Moreover, fro’s son, Jiang Haitao was once bitten by a poisonous snake and was only saved by Jiang Zhe Tell me, wouldn’t thatZhe to hide and live in seclusion? The Marquis of the Eastern Sea would definitely treat hi would not have to worry that he will become employed by another country It is only that the Eastern Sea is vast and boundless, while our Northern Han is not adept at naval warfare Furtherfei and I do not fear him As a result, we naturally have set thisJi, I have guessed that his ’er, tellZhe were to die in the Eastern Sea?”

Although Lin Tong was young and rarely participated in rown up in a military household As a result, she only needed to think for aout in alar’s EedThe Eastern Sea and Great Yong will beco Zhe died in Eastern Sea”

In a calm and unruffled tone, Lin Bi replied, “This by itself is easy to guess The Yong Ely wise Sooner or later, he will realize Eastern Sea’s innocence Although he will be angry, it will not be enough to affect the ulti will happen sooner rather than later However, Li Zhi will use all theZhe’s est targets When the time comes, if ere to proclaim responsibility, then Li Zhi will order the Prince Li Xian of Qi to ih Li Xian has enerals, there is a rift between hienerals are filled with doubt Our Northern Han will definitely be able to achieve a decisive victory, allowing our counterattack to penetrate through Great Yong’s frontier From this superior position, ill be able to ensure that Great Yong will be unable to confront us for many years to come As for Southern Chu, they can seize this opportunity to attack as well Tong’er, when the tier have to live in fear and worry about our country being destroyed”

Seeing her older sister’s glowing expression, the grief and joy in Lin Tong’s heart increased She naturally knew of the anxieties of her father, her elder sister, and her brother-in-law If her elder sister’s desire were to succeed, it would naturally be for the best However, Lin Tong didn’t knohy, but she could not help but recall the stories that wang Ji had told of Jiang Zhe Surprisingly, she could not bear for such a man to die at the hands of assassins

As if she understood her younger sister’s thoughts, Lin Bi reached out and grasped Lin Tong’s hands, stating, “Tong’er, you have already reached the e Elder sister wants you to understand that it isn’t that elder sister is fond of these kinds of actions In ouldn’t exhaust all of the methods available? In these matters, even a tiny bit of mercy cannot be tolerated Our four brothers are fierce and brave generals, but none of theh you are still young and ence and cleverness are not any less than elder sister’s Tong’er, you must make all efforts In a few years, once you can assume a heavy responsibility, elder sister can be at ease acco was stunned for so, she embraced Lin Bi wept “Elder sister, it’s entirely Our fault, otherwise, there’s no way that you wouldn’t be ’er will discipline ’er beconificent ar that you and brother-in-laill not have any fears about trouble in your rear”⁴

Feeling sour, Lin Bi also wrapped her ar’er, all of this is destiny Our Lin family has never had a disloyal and unjust member That year when Mom and Dad were in love, after Maternal Grandfather rose in rebellion and established Northern Han, Daddy would rather never see Mother again then betray the Jin Emperor From the various uncles, I have heard that when the First Ruler’s army surrounded Daizhou, the city had already run out of supplies At thisDaddy that the Jin E this news, Daddy was heartbroken Although for the sake of Daizhou’s troops and civilians, he had no alternative but to surrender to the First Ruler, Daddy still refused to be an official of Northern Han, using the pretext of convalescing from illness to remain at home Afterwards, when the barbarians invaded and Daizhou fell into a desperate situation, the First Ruler personally came to ask for Daddy’s help For the common people and these lands, Daddy could only ultio into battle Afterwards, Daddy became a subject of Northern Han These last several years, Maternal Grandfather and Uncle have trusted and relied upon our Lin fa’er, our Lin family cannot watch our home and country be invaded and conquered! As a child of the Lin fa that we cannot sacrifice for Northern Han and for the Lin fa Ji However, you must remember that he is not from Northern Han, while you are a child of the Lin fa’s face became as pale as paper She did not refute her sister’s words She had truly begun to fall in love with that cultured and refined, yet also courageous and resolute youth She had originally believed that since wang Ji had already promised her brother-in-law that he would stay in Northern Han, then it ht now, Lin Tong finally understood that her first love, like the gorgeous and beautiful spring blossoms, had already died under the desolate autumn wind Afterwards, she heard Lin Bi add, “This ti two batches of people withZhe’s whereabouts are discovered, they will assassinate hi Ji cannot relax, even for a moment Youany infor Zhe by following hi Ji pushed open the door and walked out of his roo hall, he coincidentally saw Lin Tong walk out fro, he discovered that he couldn’t utter a single sound That char with an incoeous radiance, alaze also fell upon wang Ji and s expression was splendid, wang Ji could feel his heart palpitate with fear Lin Tong walked over Beaoing to eat It’s definitely a lot livelier there”

Lin Bi turned around Beyond the defensive peried man in a set of deep blue robes His appearance was cultured and handso behind hiant appearance He had slightly tanned skin It was clear that this youth’s skin was originally fairly pale and had only been browned by exposure to the sun in the last few years The appearances of these tere seventy percent similar, evidently blood related
