Chapter 238 Undercurrent
"Report to Your Majesty, the preparations for the expedition are ready." Dai Zhou, Minister of the Household Department, said.
Li Shimin nodded, and asked: "Taishi Bureau, have you ever considered an auspicious day for the expedition?"
The function of the Taishi Bureau is to observe the sky, calculate the solar terms, and formulate the calendar.
In ancient times, if the military situation was not urgent, it would be considered an auspicious day to send troops before going out.
Taishi ordered Li Chunfeng to go out and said: "Your Majesty, May [-]nd is an auspicious day, and it is advisable to send troops!"
Li Shimin nodded and said: "The Ministry of Rites is ready. In three days, I will see the army off in person."
"Yes!" Dou Lukuan, Minister of Rites, replied.
……
After going to court, Lin Xuan returned home and told his parents about the expedition three days later.
Although Lin Dongyang and Zhang Qing were worried, Lin Xuan was leaving within a few days. They were worried about putting pressure on Lin Xuan, so they didn't say much.
Lin Xuan gave Lin Ping a piece of paper with some things he thought of, and asked Lin Ping to go shopping.
"My lord, you must pay attention to your safety. The slaves are waiting for you to return!" Chunyue and Yuhe said with worry on their faces.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely, and I will bring you some gifts from Gaochang."
"My lord, slaves don't want gifts, I just need you to come back safely." Chunyue said.
Lin Xuan pinched Chunyue's face and said, "Don't worry, don't you know how powerful your son is!"
Chunyue looked at Lin Xuan with a blushing face, and lowered her head.
Looking at Chunyue's expression, Lin Xuan knew that she was thinking too much.
God is pitiful, he practices martial arts every day, and Chunyue and the others all praise him for his strength.
"I've already explained to you guys about the peppers and potatoes. You must look after them for me, and there must be no accidents." Lin Xuan changed the subject.
Whether it's potatoes or peppers, they are all his treasures.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will take care of you." Chunyue said seriously.
"Okay, you guys go down first, son, I want to take a rest." Lin Xuan said.
"Yes!"
After Chunyue and the others left, Lin Xuan opened the treasure chest and began to look for something useful for fighting.
……
"Sister, Lin Xuan will go to war in three days." Cui Zhifeng said with a happy face.
Cui Yuxiu glanced at him and said calmly, "So what?"
Cui Zhifeng said: "The battlefield is extremely dangerous. If you say he can't come back, wouldn't it be a good thing?"
As long as Lin Xuan can't come back alive, then the business that Lin Xuan has mastered cannot be kept by his parents alone.They have a chance to get involved.
Cui Yuxiu stared at Cui Zhifeng and asked, "Did you know something?"
As a woman, she knew that sending troops to Gaochang was not very dangerous.
How could Cui Zhifeng not know.
Cui Zhifeng's eyes dodged a little, he didn't dare to look at Cui Yuxiu, and said, "Sister, what can I know. Anything can happen on the battlefield, who can guarantee that Lin Xuan will not die?"
Cui Yuxiu did not speak, but stared at Cui Zhifeng with burning eyes.
Cui Zhifeng's scalp became numb from Cui Yuxiu's look, and he lowered his head.
Cui Yuxiu withdrew her gaze, and said indifferently, "I am a woman. Since the family doesn't want me to know, I don't want to worry about it. I just hope that the family will keep it a secret."
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Cui Zhifeng asked pretending to be puzzled.
Cui Yuxiu didn't speak, she just got up and left.
……
"Father, that's great, the family doesn't need to pay any price this time." Wang Qingyun said excitedly.
With a smile on his face, Wang Ze said, "Yes, it's true that man is not as good as God."
"Father, when shall we do it?" Wang Qingyun asked.
Wang Ze smiled and said, "What's the rush? Gaochang is so far away from Datang, so he has plenty of time. And it's not certain whether he can come back alive."
Wang Qingyun said in surprise: "Father, how many people are there in Gaochang, Lin Xuan shouldn't be able to die, right?"
Wang Ze squeezed his beard, and said calmly: "Ruya doesn't have eyes on the battlefield, so who can say for sure?"
Wang Qingyun knew his father, so there should be something he didn't want to tell him.
With Lin Xuan's identity, even if he goes to the battlefield, it is unlikely that he will charge forward.How could Liu Ya hurt Lin Xuan.
……
"Young Master, the East Palace sent someone to tell you that His Royal Highness wants you to go to the East Palace." Lin Ping said.
Lin Xuan was taken aback for a moment, he was about to go to war, it was usually nothing serious, and usually no one would look for him at this time.
After thinking about it, Lin Xuan still planned to meet him.
After arriving at the East Palace, what surprised Lin Xuan was that the servant did not take Lin Xuan to the main hall of the East Palace, but took him to the back garden of the East Palace.
You must know that the back garden is usually played by the family members. Although Li Chengqian is not married yet, it is somewhat inappropriate to see him here.
"Master Hou, His Highness let you go in by yourself."
Lin Xuan became more and more surprised, and Li Chengqian let him be taken to the inner garden.
Even if he only brought it to the door, let him go in alone.
The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the more something was wrong. Just as he was about to ask a question, the eunuch had already walked away.
Li Chengqian wouldn't play tricks on himself, right?
Lin Xuan looked around, but there was no one there, hesitating.
Although I have some rifts with Li Chengqian, he shouldn't design to harm himself, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan walked into the garden.
What surprised Lin Xuan was that he didn't see anyone in the garden.
Lin Xuan didn't know what Li Chengqian's plan was, but it was too late to turn around now, so he could only keep going.
Lin Xuan turned a corner and saw a small lake. There was a pavilion by the lake, and a young girl was standing in the pavilion.
Seeing Lin Xuan, Li Lizhi smiled and said, "The Marquis of Jingyang County is here."
Seeing Li Lizhi, Lin Xuan was a little surprised, but also relieved.
Lin Xuan took three steps and two steps, came to the gazebo, bowed his hands and saluted: "See the princess!"
Li Lizhi looked at Lin Xuan excitedly, and whispered, "There is no one else here, so don't call me a princess."
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Lizhi, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
Li Lizhi said softly: "Not long."
"Let's sit down and talk." Lin Xuan said, pulling Li Lizhi to sit down.
Li Lizhi was already somewhat immune to Lin Xuan's hands-on behavior, her face was flushed, and she did not object.
Seeing Li Lizhi's shy look, Lin Xuan thought it was very cute, and teased, "Is it because I'm going to go out and worry about me?"
Li Lizhi whispered: "I... When I heard the news, I was so worried that I even went to find my mother."
"The Empress must have rejected you." Lin Xuan laughed.
Empress Changsun never interfered in internal affairs, even if Li Shimin told her about it, she would not express her opinion.
Even if Li Lizhi is her most beloved daughter, she will not make an exception.
Li Lizhi nodded with some disappointment, and said: "My mother said that Gaochang is a small country, and there will be no danger, so I don't have to worry about it."
Lin Xuan touched Li Lizhi's hair and said, "Your Majesty is right, so don't worry."
Li Lizhi blushed a little at Lin Xuan's intimacy.
Seeing Li Lizhi's shy appearance, Lin Xuan felt very cute, and couldn't help poking her head out to cover the rosy face.
"Um…"
I don't know if it's because Lin Xuan is about to go to war, or Li Lizhi has gotten used to his frivolity after the previous experience.
Instead of rejecting him, Li Lizhi responded jerkyly.
Lin Xuan's hands circulated on Li Lizhi's body, unknowingly came to Li Lizhi's soft spot.
Li Lizhi shuddered, came back to her senses, and pushed Lin Xuan hard.
Her strength was very weak, but Lin Xuan still stopped, he didn't want to force Li Lizhi.
Moreover, this kind of behavior is difficult for ancient women to accept.
"Cough cough cough...the sun is so nice today."
Lin Xuan cursed secretly, he was not in a good place anymore, why was he in such a hurry.
Li Lizhi didn't even dare to lift her head in shame, but burst out laughing when she heard Lin Xuan's words.
Li Lizhi took off a piece of jade pendant from her neck, and said softly: "When I was young, Grandpa Huang gave it to me. He said it would keep you safe. I will give it to you. I hope you can return safely."
Lin Xuan took a look. The jade pendant was carved with a Buddha statue. Although he didn't know what Buddha it was, he couldn't see the material.
But since it was given by Li Yuan, it must not be cheap.
This item was of great significance to Li Lizhi, Lin Xuan wanted to refuse, but seeing Li Lizhi's resolute face, he had no choice but to take it.
The jade pendant was just taken off by Li Lizhi, and it was still warm.
Lin Xuan put the jade pendant in front of his nose and smelled it, and there was still a faint fragrance.
Li Lizhi's face turned red when she saw Lin Xuan's actions, and she turned her head quickly, not daring to look at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan smiled, put the jade on, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with this jade pendant, I will be able to come back safely."
