Chapter 412 In a Dream?
Lin Yanqing was still wondering when a man in black entered and said to Wu Qingfeng, "Third Master, everything is ready outside!"
Wu Qingfeng nodded, stood up and said to Lin Chang'er, "I'll take them to the dock."
Lin Chang'er hummed in agreement, and Sister-in-law Gu quickly handed two bundles she had prepared in advance to Chen Zhao and Lin Yanqing respectively, "There are changes of clothes and some dry food that we made ourselves inside."
Lin Chang'er then took out two purses and handed them to them, saying, "These are for flowers to carry on the road. Gold leaves have also been sewn into the hems of our spare clothes for emergencies."
"Sister!" Lin Yanqing held the bundle, her eyes moist.
Lin Chang'er smiled at him, "You can go north as you please, I'll take care of the home in the south. If your aunt isn't doing well at her parents' house, we'll bring her back on the way. On the way, Lord Wu will tell you in detail how to operate after we arrive in the capital! Listen carefully."
Lin Yanqing nodded, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely listen to Lord Wu."
Wu Qingfeng also came forward. He had been holding his hands behind his back, but now he stretched out his hand and handed him a dagger. "It's made of the same material as the one Little Goldfish has. You're good with a staff, so this dagger is for close combat and self-defense."
Lin Yanqing accepted the dagger with both hands. "Thank you, Lord Wu. I will remember this."
At this moment, Chen Zhao looked at Chen Shanzhang expectantly, "Uncle, didn't you... prepare anything for me?"
Upon receiving a look from his grand-nephew, Chen Shanzhang clicked his tongue somewhat awkwardly. "If things don't look right, run. Stick close to Yan Qing; he can fight."
Chen Zhao: "..." This is really a perfunctory attitude from my little uncle.
Lin Chang'er, who was standing to the side, almost burst out laughing. Seeing Chen Zhao's pitiful look, she took out the dagger that Little Goldfish had lent her from her waist belt. "I borrowed it too. Remember to bring it back to me."
Chen Zhaoxin said happily, "Hehe, Sister Chang'er understands me best."
"Third Master... the ship should have arrived by now," the man in black reminded him.
Wu Qingfeng nodded and said to Lin Chang'er, "It's getting late, I'll take them onto the ship first."
Lin Chang'er gave a soft "hmm," and the adults escorted Lin Yanqing and Chen Zhao to the door.
Wu Qingfeng then instructed them, "Let's stop here, so as not to make too much noise and attract attention."
The adults couldn't help but show expressions of worry.
Wu Qingfeng said calmly, "Those accompanying me are all my uncle's old subordinates, they are reliable."
This put the minds of the adults at ease.
Wu Qingfeng, on the other hand, looked around the large courtyard and instructed Lin Chang'er, "Don't open the door for anyone until I come back."
Lin Chang'er smiled and nodded, "I know, you should set off quickly."
Still worried, he added to Lin Yanqing, "Yanqing, no matter what, life is the most important thing."
Lin Yanqing nodded emphatically and got into the carriage that was parked at the door.
Lin Chang'er stood at the door, watching the carriage drive into the moonlight.
Bai He patted her shoulder, "Some roads he has to walk himself. Originally, my husband and I should have gone to the capital too, but since other villagers have gone, it won't make a difference if we do too."
"We should go back to Ninghai with you as soon as possible so we can get moving sooner."
Lin Chang'er smiled, "It's harder to catch them by water; the main event is our land route..."
Although she didn't say it explicitly, Bai He knew what she meant: "Come on, it's not like you haven't seen your share of storms before."
At the same time, at Magistrate Yang's residence, Magistrate Yang was on the verge of madness.
He paced back and forth in the flower hall, extremely uneasy, when the butler rushed in, "My lord, my lord..."
Magistrate Yang rushed forward in a panic, "How is it? Did you get them out?"
The butler nodded, "They've been pulled out, they've been pulled out, but the young master..."
"What's up with him?"
The butler, with a mournful face, said, "The young master drank a lot of excrement, complaining that it was dirty and that he didn't want to live anymore!"
Magistrate Yang sighed in exasperation...
Damn it, I don't know who was so wicked as to throw firecrackers into his latrine, and by sheer coincidence, Sheng'er just happened to be in the outhouse.
He was knocked unconscious on the spot and fell into a cesspool.
What's even more infuriating is that these people didn't stop there and bombed it twice more. Now, even this flower hall seems to be filled with a foul stench.
Magistrate Yang asked, "Where is Sheng'er now?"
"It's...it's next to the outhouse..." He's just throwing a tantrum!
Magistrate Yang frowned. He could imagine what the situation was like next to the latrine at this moment, but thinking of his eldest grandson, he did not dare to hesitate and hurried over there.
Wu Qingfeng returned to the courtyard about an hour later, and Lin Chang'er opened the door for him.
"How did it go? Was it successful?"
Wu Qingfeng nodded, "Magistrate Yang is still at home, preoccupied with the bombing of the outhouse, and can't attend to us here."
Lin Chang'er chuckled, "Perhaps he thought his men had already succeeded!"
Wu Qingfeng helped close the courtyard gate and bolt it. "It's possible!"
Lin Chang'er stepped into the courtyard. "Yan Qing and Chen Zhao's room is empty, so Aunt Bai and the others won't be going back tonight."
Wu Qingfeng followed her, saying, "You can make the arrangements!"
Lin Chang'er turned her head and smiled at him, "Where are Liu Zi and Xiao Qi?"
“I was just about to tell you,” Wu Qingfeng said. “Yan Qing and Chen Zhao are still children, so it’s better if they have someone they know with them. I had them go north on the ship and replaced them with two people from my uncle’s side who came back to Ninghai with us.”
Lin Chang'er nodded, "You can arrange this."
Thinking of something, she said, "That's right, if you hadn't told me sooner, I wouldn't have prepared luggage for Brother Liu and Xiao Qi."
Wu Qingfeng smiled, feeling a strange pang of sadness in his heart, but he didn't show it. He simply said, "They are all seasoned veterans, and Yan Qing has enough silver to buy things along the way. You don't need to worry."
Lin Chang'er hummed in agreement. "You must be tired after a long day. Get some rest tonight, and we'll head straight back to Ninghai tomorrow."
Wu Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "You specially brought your sisters-in-law out, aren't you going to do more sightseeing?"
Lin Chang'er chuckled, "We'll come again next time. Safety is the top priority right now."
Seeing that she had thought things through, Wu Qingfeng didn't say anything.
As we walked inside side by side, I caught a glimpse of a window being opened, and a head popped out.
It was that familiar look in his eyes that seemed to want to kill him.
Wu Qingfeng's lips twitched. He really didn't understand why Lin Beishan harbored such deep hatred towards him.
Is it in a dream?
Then I remembered that bizarre dream I had.
In his dream, he forced him to take a back seat, so it didn't seem like they were mortal enemies.
However, he suddenly seemed to remember something, but the dream was too complicated. Even after trying to sort it out for a whole day, he couldn't make sense of it completely. What he thought of one moment, he couldn't remember the next.
However, it's still no problem to annoy that old man.
"Chang'er," he stopped and rubbed his eyes.
Lin Chang'er hummed in response, "What's wrong?"
"I got sand in my eye!"
"Let me see!" Lin Chang'er stood on tiptoe and helped him blow the sand.
Wu Qingfeng leaned down slightly, deliberately looking at Lin Beishan with a provocative smile...
