Chapter 309 Everyone is gone, but you still want to control her
Lin Zhaoyue did not respond.
Xiao Yan stood for a while, turned around, and walked across the long corridor.
His footsteps were light, but they landed heavier than usual.
The footsteps gradually faded away until they disappeared.
Lin Zhaoyue rolled around on the bed twice, her head was in a mess. After a while, she picked up the fox fur hanging beside the bed, put it on, stood up, and walked to the window.
When the window was opened, cold wind rushed in. Lin Zhaoyue couldn't help but shiver, and her face, which was warmed by the floor heating, turned from red to white in an instant.
She pulled her fox fur coat closer to her body, and her slender neck was tucked into the soft, fiery red fur, which made her little face look even whiter. She reached out and closed the window a little.
The world outside the window was all white, and even the bare branches outside the yard were covered with snow.
The entire inn was surrounded by guards and on high alert.
They were all leading a horse, obviously ready to set off.
When Xiao Yun went downstairs, Pei Yanli and Feng Xin were already waiting there.
Everyone else stood respectfully, only Lin Kaiji sat on a stool drinking tea. When he saw him, the first thing he said was:
"I won't go to the East with you."
Xiao looked at him and said:
"You think you have a choice?"
Lin Kaiji: ...
He put down the teacup and stretched out his hands, looking as if he had no desire to live.
"How about you arrest me? Is it possible that this huge Anguo doesn't have a prison that can accommodate me?"
"Want to enjoy life in prison? That's wishful thinking!"
Lin Kaiji: ...
Well, I just want to torment him on purpose.
It would take at least half a month to travel from here to the eastern border. It was freezing cold, and he really didn't want to suffer that.
What's more, it's better to be with Zhao Zhao than with Xiao Yan!
"If you and I leave, who will protect Zhao Zhao?"
"I have my own arrangements. Please go, Prince Wenxuan."
Since Lin Yanzhi's conspiracy has been exposed, there is no need for Lin Kaiji to go to Beiyang Pass.
His identity is sensitive, so if he went there not only would it be of no help, but given his personality, he would only add fuel to the fire, making it burn even more vigorously.
Moreover, he had ulterior motives towards Zhao Zhao.
How could he possibly keep such a dangerous person with Lin Zhaoyue?
After Lin Kaiji left, Xiao Yan looked at Feng Mian and said:
"She's not well yet. Let her rest in the inn for two more days."
"Yes, master."
Feng Mian bowed and replied.
"She has been avoiding spicy and greasy food these days. Ask the kitchen to prepare some appetizers so that she can eat more."
"Yes, master."
Xiao Yan hummed and said:
"If there is an emergency here, use the flying shadow to send messages."
"Feng Mian knows."
Xiao Yan's eyes moved to the tightly closed door. After a long silence, he said:
"Protect her."
Feng Mian's voice was sonorous and powerful:
"I swear to protect the young lady until my death!"
Xiao Yan retracted his gaze and said:
"Let's go!"
After saying that, he walked out of the inn.
Pei Yanli, Feng Xin and a group of guards followed him.
Xiao Yan's figure appeared in the sight.
Her long silver hair was half tied up and draped over a black fox fur coat. She was wearing a brocade fox fur coat, full of grace.
As if noticing her gaze, he looked up.
Lin Zhaoyue quickly shrank to the window.
Although the window was only opened a tiny gap, the gap could not stop the soft fur on the fox fur from leaking out. A small portion of the fiery red fur, regardless of its owner's embarrassment, stretched out of the window.
Although that small part of the red could not be seen without careful observation, Xiao Yun had excellent eyesight and caught it immediately.
The corners of his mouth softened suddenly, a smile appeared on his brows, and even his slightly heavy steps became much lighter.
When Lin Zhaoyue looked out again, Xiao Yan had already boarded the carriage.
The group of people moved in a mighty manner and soon disappeared from her sight, leaving only footprints on the ground.
The snow was still falling. When the wind blew, many snowflakes floated into the room. They were melted into tiny drops of water by the burning heating pipe and evaporated away.
As a strong wind blew, the footprints were quickly covered by ice and snow.
A lot of people left at once, and the whole inn became much quieter.
Habits are really scary. Lin Zhaoyue had been with them for more than a month, and she was a little uncomfortable with their sudden departure.
After closing the window, Lin Zhaoyue returned to bed, changed her clothes, washed up, and went out.
Feng Mian saw her and said:
"Why did you wake up so early, girl?"
Lin Zhaoyue looked at her and said:
"Pack up and let's go to Beiyang Pass."
Feng Mian looked at her and said respectfully:
"The master said that the girl's injuries have not healed yet. She needs to rest for two more days. Only after she recovers can she go to Beiyang Pass."
Everyone has left, but you still want to control her.
Lin Zhaoyue looked at her and moved her injured arm. The wound was torn. She endured the pain and pretended nothing happened.
"I'm fine now. It's okay. If I don't tell him and you don't tell him, he won't know."
Feng Mian looked at her with embarrassment and said:
"I dare not disobey the master's order. Please stay in the inn for two days to recover from your injuries. Once you have recovered, we can go to Beiyang Pass to help your master, right?"
"My injury is really not healed. Besides, it's still a long way from here to Beiyang Pass. I think the injury will heal on the way."
Lin Zhaoyue tried to persuade her, but Feng Mian was very stubborn and remained unmoved no matter what she said.
He simply treated Xiao Yan's words as an imperial decree!
"Are you hungry, girl? I'll ask the kitchen to bring some food."
After Feng Mian left, Lin Zhaoyue tiptoed towards the entrance of the inn.
As soon as I reached the door, a clear young voice came from behind me:
"If you want to leave, I can take you away. She can't beat me."
Lin Zhaoyue turned around and saw a young man in red clothes appearing behind her.
Following closely behind him came various reptiles.
There were colorful poisonous snakes, spiders as big as plates, scorpions as big as palms, centipedes as big as rolling pins, and toads as big as washbasins jumping over.
Lin Zhaoyue had followed Ning Xi for two years, and although she had gained a lot of experience, it was the first time she had seen such a horrifying scene, and she almost fainted from fright.
The densely packed small bumps on the toad's back made her scalp tingle.
Qingchuan's back, which was originally somewhat proud, instantly hunched down after seeing her pale face.
"Are you afraid of them, too?"
He thought she would be different from others.
When elder sister was around, every time she came back she would tell him about her young lady, how well she treated her and how different she was.
Without waiting for her answer, the boy turned around and left with his pets.
"You are Qingchuan, right?"
Lin Zhaoyue spoke.
The boy paused and looked at her, his eyes sparkling with hope:
"You recognize me?"
"I heard from Xiao... the Third Prince that you are working for him now?"
Qingchuan said without any expression:
"It's just temporary."
