The news that Shuofeng brought back from Wang Sheng and Yang Qiusheng was that Cangzhou was about to be in chaos, and the crown prince was bound to take action against His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness was not dead yet, and everything was in danger now. They had to find Zhou Yan first, Li Ke.

It is even more important to gather the secret guards that Zhou Yan had scattered, firstly to strengthen Zhou Yan's power, and secondly to prepare for emergencies.

Lin Xing entrusted Zhao Jie to Li Yanting, thought about it, and left a letter at the concierge.

Lin Xing's ability was weak, Shuo Feng and Chun Xiaobing went in two directions to find Zhou Yan's subordinates, while she and Chun Mian searched for Zhou Yan's body.

For three whole days, Lin Xing visited almost all the branches of the river and did not see any trace of Zhou Yan.

She didn't think about food and drinks, and never thought that a character in the story could have such an impact on her.

Although the separation from Zhou Yan was only six days, Lin Xing felt as if they had been separated for six years.

A piece of her heart seemed to have been taken away. If she didn't work hard to find it, it would feel as if something precious would be pulled away from her heart forever.

When she has nothing to do, Zhou Yan is always on her mind.

Just because she was thinking about Zhou Yan, she couldn't do anything.

In a vicious circle, she could only try her best to find Zhou Yan's figure by the river.

The two rested in the inn, and suddenly there were more people coming and going. Listening carefully, they all had accents from the Cangzhou area. They had all left in the past few days, so why were there more people now?

Lin Xing was worried about the people, so she and Chun Mian stepped forward and asked, "What happened in that area of ​​Cangzhou? I heard that you are also from Cangzhou. Hasn't the flood passed? Why are you leaving so well?"

Hearing this, the man frowned, patted his thigh and said, "Don't mention it, who could have thought that something like this would happen? We thought that the flood was over, Qi Shaokang was arrested, and good times were coming, but...

You know, there’s actually a fight here!”

"A fight started?" Lin Xing stood up suddenly. This person should be the common people where Lin Xing was staying before. At this moment, Lin Xing was wearing a cloak. Several people did not recognize him and still complained.

"Yes, I don't know where they came from. Two groups of sects started fighting at the magistrate's office late at night. I heard that they even alarmed His Highness the Crown Prince. I don't think we can stay in Cangzhou any longer!"

Lin Xing murmured: "Two groups, the prefect, alarmed Li Ke..."

Before she finished speaking, Chun Mian immediately pulled her arm to warn her to be careful about her words and actions. Fortunately, those people were discussing and did not notice the small movements of Lin Xing and others.

Lin Xing came to the counter in despair, made a hasty payment, took Chun Mian with her, and was about to return to Cangzhou.

"Madam, maybe His Highness the Crown Prince's rival has come to visit us. The sky is high here and the Emperor is far away. It would not be unusual to kill His Highness the Crown Prince."

Chun Mian saw Lin Xing's uneasiness, and the two got on the sedan. She patted Lin Xing's shoulder and comforted her.

However, Lin Xing was breathing unsteadily.

It was still half a day from here to Cangzhou. Lin Xing closed her eyes, adjusted her heart rate, and began to sort out her chaotic thoughts.

Zhou Yan was ambushed and "died" by two groups of men on the road. Only a blood-stained hairband was found. The body was said to have been washed away by the river, and it has not yet been found.

Shuo Feng went to ask for news about Wang Sheng. Zhao Jie was stabbed by a sword and fell unconscious.

During this period, Lin Xing was sent away to find Zhou Yan's body, while Shuo Feng and others went to summon Zhou Yan's old troops.

Zhao Jie is probably awake now and should be on his way to find Wang Sheng.

All of them are not with the prefect now.

In the prefecture, only the prince and Li Yanting have power.

Zhou Yan is probably not dead, right?

He's playing a big game, right?

Lin Xing was panic-stricken, feeling that Zhou Yan was deliberately trying to scare them away. It was obvious what had happened, but he didn't want her to know.

She had fought side by side with Zhou Yan for so long, and it felt uncomfortable to be suddenly ostracized.

Zhou Yan seemed to be reminding her silently: She was Zhou Yan's sister-in-law. She followed him all the way from Yuzhou City to the capital and then to Cangzhou. It was really too much.

Why couldn't she confirm whether Zhou Yan was being polite?

The Zhao family is considered to be one of the best in Yuzhou City. Why should they follow Zhou Yan and rely on others?

The more Lin Xing thought about it, the more sour her nose became, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became.

What happened in Cangzhou made her realize clearly that she was a merchant's widow, and Zhou Yan was the noble prince.

Chun Mian looked at Lin Xing's condition and didn't know how to comfort her anymore. She had no choice but to keep silent, opened the curtain and looked out the window.

Entering the territory of Cangzhou City, the further inside it becomes, the more chaotic it becomes, and people are constantly starving to death on the road.

Lin Xing followed Chun Mian's gaze and frowned slightly in confusion. Qi Shaokang, a corrupt official, had been arrested and his property confiscated. Why were the people still in such a situation?

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Lin Xing staggered and almost fell off her seat.

Chun Mian opened the curtain and wanted to curse something, but the carriage covered his chest and pointed at the man lying in the middle of the road in front of him.

The man was so skinny that he stretched out his hand to Lin Xing with difficulty.

He was mumbling something, but no sound came out. Lin Xing glanced at him, and the skin on his body was wrinkled due to the sudden thinness, which made Lin Xing feel a little unbearable.

She looked at Chun Mian beside her and ordered: "Give him water and dry food."

Chun Mian turned back to the carriage, took out some of the water and dry food, and stuffed them into the man's hands.

The man looked to be about thirty or forty years old. When he saw the water and dry food, his eyes lit up. He chewed the dry food quickly and poured water into his mouth.

But in the blink of an eye, he regained some of his energy.

He wiped his chapped lips, but still had no intention of moving away. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Madam, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Jia has no special skills, but his brain is good. If

If Jia says goodbye to his wife today, he will definitely starve to death on the roadside, but if Jia stays with his wife, it may have a different effect."

"I said you're not done yet, right? Did you know how dangerous it was just now? If I hadn't been driving the carriage for so many years..." The groom waved his riding whip, trying to scare him away, but even though the whip was strong,

It hit him on the body, but his expression did not change.

"Wait!"

Lin Xing suddenly stopped.

People who dare to stop carriages on the road and have an eye on the overall situation are brave and resourceful, and can be regarded as an excellent helper by their side.

"What's your name?" Lin Xing raised her chin slightly and walked along the bench to the man.

The man kowtowed heavily on the ground and said: "Jia Fa, the little man, has been depressed and frustrated. Today I am lucky enough to meet my wife."

"There are differences between men and women, so you sit together with the groom. Do you have any objection?"
