Chapter 290.3: Ambushed?

This time, coincidentally being in Chongzhou Fu, one should know without thinking, its not that he didnt know Jing Wan was traveling together with Li Hong Yuan. Actually, he clearly knew that it would be better to not meet, yet by the time he came to his senses, he was already in Chongzhou Fu. Just because after they arrive in Jiangnan, Chongzhou Fu was the first stop. If it was in another prefecture, he wouldnt have had a way.

Having already come to this step, it wasnt good to turn around and go elsewhere, thus Sun Yi Lin could only repeatedly warn himself, if possible, just watch her from afar and confirm whether or not Jin Qinw.a.n.g was good to her. Right, just this, thats all.

Afterwards, learning that they stayed in Kaiming Fu, he was somewhat disappointed and defeated inside. Although not knowing what exactly Li Hong Yuan wanted to do, but it can be certain that they will definitely come to Jiangnan.

But after waiting left and right, the news that awaited him made him nearly fall apart.

First was Kaiming Fus villa catching on fire, and then in less than a day after leaving Kaiming Fu, they just met with mishap once more. The word was their whereabouts unclear, their life or death unknown.

Sun Yi Lin clutched the clothes over his chest, as if wanting to tightly grasp his heart that nearly stopped beating.

He had no way of sitting and waiting for death. He must do a bit of something, else he cant guarantee that he wont go crazy.

Since coming to Shannan Prefecture, no, not right, should be ever since birth, for the first time, for the first time he displayed absolute power. He requested to immediately dispatch troops for a search and rescue, and at the same time, exterminate the water bandits.

Although the times theyve interacted werent long, but after Sun Yi Lin came to Chongzhou Fu, he has behaved amiably with propriety, cultured and refined, amply having the elegant demeanor of a modest gentleman, completely unlike a young master from a thousand year old aristocratic family thats head of the meritorious n.o.bles, though that burst of n.o.ble air didnt need to be doubted.

After displaying his absolute power, first it was shock, but afterwards, they felt it was only natural.

However, dispatching troops, this kind of thing, wasnt a matter of opening and closing the mouth, it required the Governor-Generals nod, issuing an order to dispatch, and at present, the Governor-General was currently patrolling in other areas, even in the prefectural capital

[1]

, there all wasnt anyone, so how can they dispatch troops? Moreover, Shannan Prefecture sending troops to Tong Prefecture, crossing the boundaries of the two prefectures, further required his Majestys order, or the right and left commander-in-chiefs jointly issuing a dispatch order. If privately dispatching troops, it was against the rules, and all related personnels will certainly receive punishment.

(T/N: Btw, now that they are in a different prefecture, this is a different governor-general from the previous one.)

Thus, they first had their deepest concerns towards Jin Qinw.a.n.g expressed vividly and thoroughly, expressing that if required, they will certainly give their all, then listed out all the various hard to pa.s.s areas.

Moreover, in their selfish hearts, they couldnt wait for Jin Qinw.a.n.g to die. In any case, it wasnt in their boundaries, so even if he dies, it wouldnt involve them anyways.

Towards their thoughts, Sun Yi Lin although didnt understand fully, it was still around seventy percent, his heart turning cold. These people just ought to be sorted out by Jin Qinw.a.n.g. What kind of personality Jin Qinw.a.n.g has, this lower official is more clear than everyone, and further clear about his place in his Majestys heart. If Jin Qinw.a.n.g really were to by chance meet with mishap, without a doubt, regardless of whether its Tong Prefecture of Shannan Prefecture, all wont have good outcomes. Furthermore, if Jin Qinw.a.n.g were to meet with mishap because of getting saved late, his Majesty fury will certainly be even stronger. Who will be able to shoulder? Could it be that it can be even more serious than privately moving troops? Its true that Jin Qinw.a.n.g was certain to take revenge even on the most trivial matters, but theres still a clear distinction between grat.i.tude and grudges. Saving him, how does one know there wont be benefits? His one word in front of his Majesty, surpa.s.sed hundreds and thousands of words from others. Additionally, this matter, this lower official is willing to singlehandedly shoulder, and after the matter, will immediately explain to his Majesty. Even if everyone were to greatly suffer losses, my Ding Duke Manor will still compensate everyone in double.

Sun Yi Lin had no way of having his worries towards Jing Wan expressed, and could only use Jin Qinw.a.n.g as an excuse. Truthfully speaking, the one he cared about clearly was the person at the tip of his heart, yet just had to use his love rival as a s.h.i.+eld. The bitterness in Sun Yi Lins heart truly was hard to describe. For those who didnt know, they would just think that he cares for Jin Qinw.a.n.g a lot.

And as for the officials that were clear about the state of affairs in the capital, they also couldnt help but mutter a few words inside.

Jin Qinw.a.n.g didnt take any sides, but in the end, was still n.o.ble Consort Sus foster son. n.o.ble Consort Su and the Empress were sworn enemies. For you, as the Empresss nephew, to worry about Jin Qinw.a.n.g this much, is it really okay? If they were to suffer loss, the Ding Duke Manor will compensate, does your elders know?

However, although they thought this, Sun Yi Lins words indeed made their hearts move. On the salt administration, they indeed extended their hands, but what they took were just a bit of sc.r.a.ps, not enough for worry. Sending troops to save Jin Qinw.a.n.g, setting aside whether or not they will see the person alive, as long as they put forward this att.i.tude, itll be more than enough to prove their sincerity. Thinking of it like this, the benefits were greater than the detriments.

After mutually discussing, they all nodded their heads, this matter, theyll do it!

From Chongzhou Fus army, two thousand were directly dispatched, boarding the wars.h.i.+p, following along the ca.n.a.l, exiting Chongzhou Fu, crossing over the boundaries of the two prefecture, and entering Tong Prefecture.

And Sun Yi Lin, this regional inspector, also unhesitantly got onboard, leaving Shannan Prefecture.

That share of worry of his, although was being suppressed with all his might, onlookers more or less still sensed it, and couldnt help but inwardly mutter again, just short of madly galloping towards an unspeakable direction.

Where did Sun Yi Lin still have the mind to care about what they were thinking. He was just wholeheartedly hoping that Jing Wan dont meet with mishap.

This kind of situation, how can it not make Li Hong Yuans anger soar into the heavens. Even now still thinking of you, Wan Wan, say, shouldnt this husband have had him skinned to death long ago? Is it to chop up and feed to the dogs? Or directly letting him sink underwater to feed the fishes? Li Hong Yuan sinisterly opened his mouth.

Prior to marrying, this man had already gone crazy before because of Sun Yi Lin and Chen Zheng Min, let alone now, where it was for the most part his minefield. To dare say a single word for Sun Yi Lin, the one to suffer wont just be Sun Yi Lin. She also wont be able escape. But if she doesnt say anything, this man will say that she tacitly approved of his thoughts, and Sun Yi Lin perhaps really will die. It wasnt good to say, but it also wasnt good to not say. Jing Wan really wanted to violently cuss.

However, in a flash of inspiration, Jing Wan lightly hooked her lips, propping against her chin, and calmly looked to Li Hong Yuan, Ah Yuan, the one that should be angry, shouldnt it be me? This number one gentleman of the capital, running left and right, opening and closing his mouth, its all for you, Jin Qinw.a.n.g. My husband getting thought of this much by another man, heheh..

Jing Wan silently expressed her apologies towards Sun Yi Lin in her heart. For the sake of everyones wellbeing, this pot, why dont you temporarily shoulder.

Probably not expecting that Jing Wan would say this, Li Hong Yuan blanked for a moment, his anger and dark currents actually vanis.h.i.+ng a little, carrying a bit of mischievousness as he hooked his lips, Wan Wan really thinks this? Towards the people that have schemes towards your husband, how you should handle them, Wan Wan should be clear inside, right? Towards women, you still have tender feelings of pity, being benevolent and softhearted, but towards men, this wont be the case, right? This husband looks forward to your performance.

Virtue is one foot tall, evil ten feet

. Jing Wan still wasnt a match for him, and picking up a rock to smash her own foot also wasnt the first time anymore, but it was still better than him killing the person. However, Jing Wans expression didnt change, Ah Yuan, this meaning is letting me go meet him and personally have him taken care of?

Wan Wan thought rather beautifully, but if you are able to stab a knife into his heart, I rather can endure this one time.

Sorry, my guts are small, so how about we both dont go meet him and just let it go?

So, the last part is the main point? The dark currents on Li Hong Yuan rapidly rose up again.

Jing Wan also couldnt bother worrying whether or not outsiders were present, hurriedly throwing herself over and hugging him, Ah Yuan, were perfectly fine, so can we not talk about others? She buried her face between his neck, Im yours, just yours, and regardless of what others think, or do, this bit all wont change, thats why, can..

If you know that some other woman is thinking of your husband all day long, and that woman was once even your husbands fiancee, and whenever your husband encounter a bit of something, she will just rush to the very front, as if shes precisely the one that cares about your husband the most under the heavens, tell me, Wan Wan, how would you feel inside? Li Hong Yuan pinched Jing Wans chin and coldly asked.

Jing Wans face darkened. d.a.m.nit, this heart to heart comparison sure enough was too strong. Jing Wan had no words to respond. However, a moment later, Jing Wan still expressed her own views, Although very unhappy, but if the other party just did this, and didnt do anything disgusting, I still wont want to kill her. If replaced with me, I will just go all out in showing off our love in front of her, letting her back away.

Good idea!

The capital city of a prefecture, so prefectural capital.
