"What? Going on a mission to Wu Dynasty?"
After learning the news, Lin Bai couldn't hold himself any longer.
For this official, other people rarely move for several years, but I am better off. I move once every two days, and my buttocks are not even hot yet.
What is Lao Zhu thinking?
And on a mission? The Iron Lady just arrived and immediately drove me away?
What the hell is this!
Yan Ruxue was obviously a little surprised. She looked at her father and asked, "Dad! Okay, why are you suddenly asking Qingfeng to go on a mission? Doesn't he still want to investigate the case?"
Yan Zhenlin said: "It's not sudden. This incident has been expected for a long time. If there hadn't been an assassin appearing in the hunting ground and the Night King incident, it would have been settled long ago."
"As for investigating the case, a child eighteen years ago has no characteristics, so it is destined not to be found in a short time."
"Besides, the Night King himself has gone to Liangzhou. If the commotion is like this, Your Majesty probably doesn't want to care about it anymore, as long as the Night King doesn't do anything too outrageous."
Yan Ruxue nodded subconsciously.
Indeed, it is destined not to be easy to find in such a huge crowd.
The imperial court still needs to operate, so it is impossible to rest on this matter forever, not to mention that sending an envoy to Wu Dynasty is the top priority at the moment.
However, the journey is far away and everything is full of uncertainty.
"Dad, why does it have to be Qingfeng?"
"Didn't His Majesty ask for your opinion?"
Yan Zhenlin shook his head, "No, but even if there is, my father will support it."
Yan Ruxue asked: "Why?"
Yan Zhenlin paused and said: "Although there are some risks in traveling to other countries as ambassadors, this time I am going to propose marriage, and there are many escorts accompanying me, so my safety should be guaranteed."
"As for the Wu Dynasty, my father believes that Qingfeng's ability is enough to resolve it. Both countries currently need peace, and this matter is extremely feasible."
"And once this happens, he will be a great hero and will definitely be reused after returning to Beijing. Although His Majesty is already doing this, many people are criticizing it. The reason is that Qingfeng is too junior. After this experience, it will be different..."
Got it, it’s just gold plating!
Although great talents are talented, talent is not the same as ability.
Although great talents also showed their abilities during this period, they were all in the same league, with His Majesty's endorsement and Yan Xiang's support behind them.
But it's different when you're on an envoy. If you get things done in a foreign country, you'll be considered a great hero. It's a reflection of your ability. Whether you can stand alone can explain a lot of problems.
If this is true, His Majesty will be able to convince the public if he reuses it.
Although being an envoy is a hard job, once you succeed, there are many benefits. To put it bluntly, it is political capital.
Lin Bai curled his lips.
Yan Zhenlin looked at him and asked, "What? You don't want to?"
Of course I don't want to, the good times have just arrived, wouldn't it be nice to just lie at home? Occasionally I go to the Criminal Department to fish, tease my wife, and make colorful clouds chase the moon. Don't be too comfortable.
On a mission?
Thinking about the traffic in this world, it is simply suffering.
But of course you can't say that in front of your father-in-law and wife.
He could only say: "It's not that I'm unwilling, I'm just a little worried. There are dark clouds surging in Kyoto right now. Someone dared to assassinate someone in the royal hunting ground a while ago, and now the Night King has happened. My son-in-law is worried that something big will happen in Kyoto."
Yan Zhenlin nodded, "Your time as an official is still short, so I am very happy to be such a vigilant father..."
Um! Lao Yan already calls himself father.
"Father, I know what you are worried about, but don't worry, as long as I am here, I will naturally ensure that everyone in the Lin Mansion is safe."
"And it is precisely because of this that you should go. Your eldest lady has foresight and foresight. This is just an opportunity. Do you understand?"
Yan Zhenlin glanced at Lin Bai thoughtfully.
ha?
Even Lao Yan praises the Iron Lady?
All right! It's so cool. My wife is praised by others, how can I not be happy? What's more, he is still the prime minister of the dynasty.
Lin Bai said: "My son-in-law understands that it is just because of the Night King's incident that he is afraid of causing trouble to the prime minister's house, so..."
Hearing this, Yan Zhenlin snorted, "What are you talking about? Since I gave Ruxue to you, I have determined that you are the prime minister's uncle. Don't say that you have nothing to do with the Night King. Even if it is really related, it doesn't matter."
"There is intrigue in the court. The truth is that I have my own plans when I choose you. I think you are talented and capable and can protect Ruxue and the Yan family in the future."
"However, since I have chosen you, I don't have to worry about any consequences. You and I, our husband-in-law, have already suffered both losses and prosperity."
Lao Yanxin said that I do want to regret it, but I still need my little Baicai to agree! My soul has been seduced by you, and I haven’t even returned home the whole day before I even walked through the door.
After all the talk, Lin Bai dared to say anything.
He immediately said quickly: "Thank you, father-in-law. My son-in-law will do his best."
"Um!"
Yan Zhenlin nodded with satisfaction, "This time we are on our way to Wu Dynasty. I will suggest that you leave early so that you can go to Changjin and meet your eldest brother Wen Liang."
"You can also personally explain some matters in Changjin County to him."
The father-in-law explained some more words, and then Lin Bai left the Yan Mansion.
Yan Ruxue also followed out, seemingly worried.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Bai noticed something strange and asked in confusion.
Yan Ruxue looked at him, took courage, and said, "I like you, and it has nothing to do with what dad said. It was the first time I heard you tell the story of the landlord in Tianxiang Tower, and you scolded the landlord, even though dad was also the landlord. Pie, but I still think what you said makes sense."
"On the day when the results were released for the second time, I was in the attic. I heard the stories you told about your sisters, and I decided that this was the person I was looking for..."
She spoke very fast, burying her head in her chest, not daring to look at Lin Bai at all, and her pretty face turned red to her ears.
Finally he said: "I'm telling you this just because I don't want you to misunderstand. I like that you don't have any interests involved. I don't want you to think that this is a political marriage."
After saying this in one breath, she turned around and ran away.
Obviously, in this era, it was still very bold for a woman to express her love to a man in this way. If she were not afraid of Lin Bai misunderstanding, she would never have said these words.
But she doesn't want their relationship to be mixed with other utilitarian things, so...
But how could Lin Bai let her go? He grabbed her and put her in his arms.
Yan Ruxue's pretty face turned red and she was obviously at a loss.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "Silly wife, do you think I'm stupid? Really for the sake of profit, my father-in-law would choose me, a powerless scholar? Isn't it nice for you to be a princess?"
"My father-in-law is not looking for someone who can be a good match for you. In the whole world, except Lin Qingfeng, the most talented person in the world, who else can be worthy of Miss Yan."
Yan Ruxue's face was as red as a big apple, but she still couldn't help but smile, "Don't be ashamed!"
Lin Bai blinked and said, "Husband, I will give you something less embarrassing."
As he spoke, he pressed his lips directly towards Yan Ruxue's pink lips.
Yan Ruxue felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her beautiful eyes widened and her mind went blank. This was the door of her house. Although there were no pedestrians, the guards at the house were still there!
She wanted to break free, but her body was completely out of control. The warm and masculine aura made her whole body seem to melt.
After a long time, Lin Bai let her go, with a wicked smile on his face, "How is it?"
"You, you...I, I..."
Miss Yan was completely incoherent. She felt the gaze of the guards on the side and felt ashamed to see others. She quickly broke away from Lin Bai's arms and ran back.
The shyness at the corner of the mouth and the overflowing sweetness are particularly touching.

Some people died, but not completely...
