Zheng Zhen received the letter.
Everything is going according to plan, and Lin Zai will soon reveal his flaws.
But she didn't expect that Minglan would leave the Western Territory for a few days tomorrow.
The letter said that Shen Jiayu was going to Rongguo. He went there every year to do business. Minglan was afraid that something would happen to him alone, so she insisted on following him.
Minglan wanted to gain Zheng Zhen's absolute trust before things happened, so she didn't hide where she was going.
Although the two countries of Yin and Rong are not like before, they have not yet reached the point of real tension. Moreover, only the relevant personnel above know the news that a war may be imminent.
Although the people in the Western Region were afraid of the Rong Kingdom, they did not think that the two countries would really start a war, so there were still merchants from neighboring countries walking around the border.
Zheng Zhen wanted to see Minglan, but the letter told her not to go there. Minglan said that she had to rest early today and that they would see each other soon!
Little did Zheng Zhen know that this was all a lie, and Minglan never thought that they would see each other again.
She regarded Minglan as a friend, but she didn't know that she was just a pawn to be used.
When she was in the yard, she saw Lin Zai and Yin Tianxun walking out in a hurry, without even noticing her.
Where are they going?
Brother Tianxun is no longer the original brother Tianxun. He has been fascinated by Lin Zai for a long time, and he doesn't even know how big a mistake he has made.
He didn't care, but she couldn't.
"What are you thinking about?"
When Zheng Zhen took a look, it turned out that brother Tianxing was back.
"What is that?" He glanced at the letter in Zheng Zhen's hand and asked.
Zheng Zhen has become much more stable. She put the letter away calmly, "Brother Tianxing, do you still remember the friend Minglan I met at Lichun Courtyard?"
Yin Tianxing nodded and told him Minglan's experience.
"She was ransomed, wasn't she? The young master who ransomed her was a businessman. He was going out on business in the past few days. Minglan was reluctant to say goodbye, so she decided to go with him."
"That's it!"
Yin Tianxing no longer doubts.
He thought that Zhenzhen would discuss it with him no matter what happened, but he was wrong.
So of course Yin Tianxing would not know that Minglan had secretly provoked Zhenzhen.
He was 100% confident about Lin Sheng and Wu Yin, but he didn't know Minglan's details.
My younger sister mentioned her. It was the time when Zhenzhen was causing mischief in Lichun Courtyard and Minglan suddenly broke in to demand justice for Wu Yin.
They all thought that Minglan was sincerely sorry for Wu Yin, and she pretended to be so good, so Lin Zai and Yin Tianxing naturally relaxed their vigilance towards her.
Minglan's life experience was miserable, so Yin Tianxing did not stop Zhenzhen from contacting her.
"Brother Tianxing, I also made a few good friends in the Western Region. I will miss them very much when we return to Beijing."
Zheng Zhen was in a complicated mood. She wanted to go home quickly, but she also really felt sorry for Lin Sheng Minglan and the others.
"You can come back to see them."
"Will you accompany me?" Zheng Zhen asked suddenly.
She began to rely on brother Tianxing again, just like when they first met.
"Will do!"
"Brother Tianxing, thank you!"
"Thank you for what!"
"I just want to thank you. By the way, Sheng'er is getting married next month. Will we have left by then?"
"I have no idea!"
"I'm really happy for Sheng'er, and I'm also happy for Young Master Liu. He can finally get what he wants."
Yin Tianxing nodded.
Liu Shaopu got his wish to marry the girl he loved.
Will he be able to get what he wants in this life?
Zheng Zhen also had the same idea in his heart.
Mr. Liu can keep the clouds clear and see the moonlight, but what about her?

Lin Zai was worried about Da Zhou's family, so he sent guards to guard them secretly to prevent any accidents.
Father Zhou didn't survive after all.
After receiving the news, Lin Zai rushed there immediately, but she suddenly remembered Yin Tianxun. He also cared about them, so she talked to him about the matter.
Yin Tianxun was very worried, so without further ado, he put down what he was doing and prepared to go visit Da Zhou with Lin.
Dazhou is very sad. His father is his only relative, and he will have no father in the future!
We have obviously survived so many difficulties, but why didn’t a miracle happen this time?
He kept kneeling, and Chen Tiezhu also knelt with him.
"People can't be resurrected after death. Brother Zhou, please be more open-minded. I think Father Zhou doesn't want to see you like this even in heaven!"
Lin Zai knew how pale these words were.
"Yes, Brother Zhou, if you do well, Father Zhou can feel at ease!"
Dazhou's mood will definitely calm down. It's only a matter of time, but it's definitely not now.
Lin Zai knew that no amount of comfort would be useless, so he stopped persuading him.
Da Zhou knelt silently for an unknown amount of time before he spoke.
"My father has never enjoyed a day of happiness in his life. It was me who delayed him, otherwise he would at least have a better life. My mother ran away with someone else. She thought we were a burden, but my father never abandoned me. I was very naughty when I was a child. He was obedient and often made my father angry, but he was never willing to beat me and kept all the food for me, but he did not dare to eat more. My father loves me very much, but the family is poor, and he always blames himself for not being able to give me anything. A good life. You say my father is so honest, why does God treat him like this?"
The more Da Zhou talks about it, the more excited he gets!
Yes, not all good people can be rewarded!
Chen Tiezhu patted Da Zhou on the shoulder, but didn't know how to persuade him.
Perhaps the best thing to do now is to say nothing.
They were silent from afternoon to dusk, from dusk to midnight, and from midnight to early morning.
Da Zhou had to keep vigil for Father Zhou, and his mind was entirely on his father, so he didn't notice that no one in the room had left.
He wanted to get up, but his legs had lost strength after kneeling all night. Fortunately, Tie Zhu supported him in time.
Only then did Da Zhou realize that everyone was still there. They had not slept all night and their faces were not very good.
He felt guilty, "I'm sorry to bother you!"
"It's all nonsense, why bother!"
Tiezhu was fine, but he actually made Miss Lin and Mr. Sun stay with him for a whole night.
Da Zhou wanted to apologize, but Lin Zai stopped him, "Brother Zhou, what are your plans in the future?"
Da Zhou smiled bitterly, "What else can I do? I don't have much ability. I can only live a peaceful life in this small teahouse so that my father can rest assured."
Brother Zhou is affectionate and righteous. Since he and Brother Chen are good brothers, it is better to let him accompany Brother Chen so that they can take care of each other.
"Brother Chen will go to the military camp. Brother Zhou, are you willing to come with us?"
Dazhou was stunned.
Although he is a rough man, he also longs to be a soldier.
General Li is a role model for many people. Although he cannot be a general, he still wants to follow him and become a hero.
Moreover, Dazhou heard Tiezhu say a lot about Miss Lin. He admired Miss Lin very much. If Miss Lin is so good, General Li must be very good too!
If he could do things for these people, his life would not be in vain.
Staying in a small teahouse and doing nothing all your life, Da Zhou doesn't want to do that.
He doesn't need others to remember him, but he wants to be a useful person and try to survive for once.
"Is that okay?"
Lin Zai nodded, "It's just that if we really fight, our lives will be in danger."
"I'm not afraid!"
"Okay, I will tell my adoptive father that you and Brother Chen can go to the military camp at any time."
"Thank you, Miss Chen!"
~~~
"Ah Zai, why did you think of letting Brother Zhou join the army?" Yin Tianxun asked on the way back.
"Brother Zhou and Brother Chen are good brothers. Although Brother Chen has decided to go to the military camp, he will not trust Brother Zhou. Liu Yao has made trouble before, so he may deliberately cause trouble next time. Besides, Brother Zhou is a man. So I think it’s better to let them be together, so that not only can the two of them take care of each other, but Brother Chen doesn’t have to worry about Brother Zhou anymore.”
"It's better that you've thought it through." Yin Tianxun sighed.
"Actually, I'm very confused." Lin Zai suddenly said.
"Why?"
"The people don't want to go to war. They also think that there won't be a war for the time being, but I'm not optimistic about this. The Rong Kingdom is very ambitious. It is not willing to be bullied by other countries anymore. They have never forgotten all the previous humiliations, so they are bent on looking for opportunities. Revenge against the Yin Kingdom." Lin Zai calmed down, "There is another reason why I asked Brother Zhou and Brother Chen to go to the military camp. They are not afraid of death and are willing to serve their adoptive father! Yuran, do you think I am selfish?"
"No way, you are not allowed to think nonsense!"
"If something happens to them, I will definitely not forgive myself. My mother-in-law has already died because of me..."
It turns out that she has always been upset about Granny Cui leaving.
Yin Tianxun looked at Ah Zai distressedly, "You are very good, really very good. I have never seen a woman as good as you! Many people only care about themselves, but you are different. You care about your family and country. Poor people have done a lot of practical and good things. You have never considered your own gains and losses. There are many things that you cannot pretend to be. I see everything you do, so you are not allowed to say that you are selfish in the future. If you count If I’m selfish, then I’m simply bad.”
Lin Zai shook his head, "You are also very good, even better than I thought! I used to be prejudiced against you, thinking that you could only enjoy yourself but not understand the sufferings of the world, but I was wrong! You are very kind and can put yourself in others' shoes. For the sake of others, in fact, I am inferior to you in many aspects."
Yin Tianxun smiled sheepishly. This was the first time that Ah Zai truly praised himself, but it was not enough, far from enough. He had to do better, so that he would not live up to what Ah Zai said today. .
"We are all good, so don't doubt yourself, let alone belittle yourself! Brother Chen and Brother Zhou are not stupid. If you are not good, they will not agree to you!"
"I'm just afraid I'll hurt them!"
"I think they also considered the pros and cons, but in the end they were still willing to do something for the Western Region. Brother Chen and Brother Zhou are both good men. Since they are good men, they must want to achieve something in their hearts. You gave them the opportunity. , so you didn’t do anything wrong!”
Lin Zai sighed, "I hope everyone will be well and nothing will happen!"
She has been trying to pretend to be strong, but pretending to be strong is not really strong, and she is also afraid of hurting others because of herself.
Yin Tianxun understands her, really understands her, so whether Azai is the leader of Tianji or not, he will risk his life to protect her.
"I will definitely do it. I will work hard with you to prevent them from getting into trouble!"
"Thank you!"
For the first time, Lin Zai had an idea in his mind, that is, it would be great to meet Tianxun!
