Chapter 1574 Don’t Explain
After putting away the note, Lin Jing said nonchalantly, "With the two of us here, you don't have to worry about Chen Ping."
After hearing what was said, Wan Shufang glanced at Chen Ping, her thoughts unconsciously turning, but she said nothing. She just nodded to Lin Jing, then left with Chen Changli.
Watching the couple leave with their people, Lin Jing did nothing. He just scolded Chen Ping as usual, and then stayed aside to rest at Han Yi's persuasion.
So at night, when he was sure that no one was watching him, he used the moonlight to read the note given to him by Wan Shufang.
Finding out that it was Chen Changli and his wife's speculation about Old Lady Shang and others, Lin Jing put the note into his mouth while thinking.
But after a while, Han Yi came over and lowered his voice so that only he could hear: "What are you going to do?"
Lin Jing rubbed his wrist, his thoughts racing, and then he lowered his voice and said, "We have to find a way to leave here first. It would be best if we could take the two brothers Chen Ping back to Bashu."
Han Yi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this: "We are imprisoned here. Although the Eighth Prince and Ye Yun didn't come to see us, our every move is under their surveillance."
"If we take any action here, they will definitely know about it, and then I'm afraid we will die."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, as if he had thought of something bad, and his face was full of worry.
Unfortunately, it was already late at night and the moonlight was not bright enough, so Lin Jing could not see the expression on his face, but he could feel his worry.
Lin Jing's emotions were complicated and unclear: "I am also worried about this matter, but according to Chen Changli and his wife's speculation, Yongzhou City is going to be in chaos."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Han Yi's mood fluctuated.
Yongzhou City and Bashu are very close to each other. If Yongzhou City is in chaos, Bashu will probably also be in trouble. I wonder if Ye Xuan can handle it alone?
If not, their arrangements in Bashu would probably be destroyed.
"Your worries are justified. We must leave Yongzhou City as soon as possible." Han Yi's tone was quite heavy.
Lin Jing nodded to him: "I already have an idea, but I have to observe the surrounding things first, otherwise we will easily implicate Chen Changli and his wife."
Han Yi nodded quickly: "I know what to do, don't worry."
The two of them discussed and exchanged some ideas with each other, and when they finally made up their minds, it was almost dawn.
The two said no more and immediately closed their eyes to rest.
Half an hour later, the jailer came with breakfast and woke them up.
Lin Jing chatted with the jailer while eating breakfast, and then asked tentatively: "Are Ye Yun and Tu Zhizhi still confronting each other as before?"
"How can I know this?" The jailer took out a wine gourd from his pocket and took a sip. "But if you are interested, I can find out for you."
The jailer and Lin Jing had been communicating with each other for several months. On the surface, they did not seem to be very familiar with each other, but in fact, he could reveal some gossip to others appropriately.
Lin Jing also understood his temper, and when he was with him, he did not ask any tentative questions that would make him alert.
After spending several months together, the two of them had developed a tacit understanding with each other.
Lin Jing asked a probing question this time, thinking that he would avoid the question, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing.
Lin Jing looked up at him in surprise, and his heart started beating wildly when he saw that his gaze was rather obscure.
"Is this what the Eighth Prince meant?" Han Yi finished the rice in the bowl, rubbed his cheek with his hand, and then asked in a low voice.
The jailer narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly: "That person doesn't have the time to deal with a small person like me."
Hearing this, not only Han Yi was stunned, but even Lin Jing's eyes flashed with surprise.
He stroked his chin and smiled: "So you are a hidden great man! I am so sorry for your disrespect."
Upon hearing this, the jailer glared at him with disdain: "If I were a big shot, why would I appear in front of you? I would have turned Yongzhou City upside down long ago."
He licked his lips and felt they were a little dry, so he took another sip of wine.
The faint aroma of wine made Lin Jing a little greedy. He pursed his lips and said with a smile: "We are both poor. If you want benefits, we can't give them to you."
"As the prince's confidant, I don't believe you have nothing in your hands." The jailer looked at Lin Jing deeply and said shockingly.
Lin Jing was startled, and then he stared at the jailer with cold eyes. If he found something wrong, he would rather die than let this unidentified jailer see anything from him.
"Don't be nervous." Seeing Lin Jing's defensive posture, the jailer laughed in his heart but kept a calm expression on his face.
"Who are you?" Han Yi asked vigilantly, his hand secretly reaching behind his waist.
He didn't believe what the jailer said. He couldn't help but be alert and deliberately showed a defensive look on his face, as if to force the jailer to reveal his true identity.
Seeing that the two were on guard because of what he said, the jailer touched his face and said innocently: "Do I look like a bad guy? Why are you so alert?"
After saying this, the jailer snorted in annoyance: "I also knew what happened yesterday, so I wanted to give you a favor, but I didn't expect you wouldn't appreciate it."
"Forget it, it seems that we are not destined to be together. In this case, I will leave first."
He put the gourd in his pocket, cleared the dishes and stood up to leave.
Lin Jing felt that if he missed this opportunity, there would be no other good opportunities. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he decided to take a gamble. "Brother Jiang, please wait a moment."
The jailer looked down at Lin Jing and confirmed that he had made up his mind. He immediately smiled brightly and said, "You need to think about it carefully and don't be impulsive. Otherwise, if outsiders know about our deal, it will be a disaster."
He deliberately lowered his voice when speaking so that the two of them could hear clearly and not have any ears.
Seeing how cautious he was, Lin Jing's tense nerves relaxed a little.
"It is my honor to meet Brother Jiang here, so I will never take it lightly when it comes to life-threatening matters, and I will not let outsiders know about it."
"It's just that there's one thing I don't understand, and I hope Brother Jiang can help me clear it up."
The jailer got goose bumps after hearing his flowery words. "What questions do you have? Just tell me now. Don't beat around the bush. I can't stand these things."
Lin Jing was choked by these words and almost couldn't breathe.
"Why did you help me because of what happened yesterday?" Lin Jing rubbed his nose and asked solemnly, "What kind of situation am I in now? You know very well that if you help me and I don't escape, you will be implicated."
"If there are benefits, I can take them." The jailer's answer was unexpected. "I don't want anything but benefits, and you happen to be able to give them to me."
"It's not so easy to take advantage of me." Lin Jing became alert after hearing this explanation.
The jailer smiled coldly: "You must be from a big family. People like you naturally don't understand the thoughts of us little people."
"That's not what I meant." Lin Jing heard that his tone was wrong and spoke quickly.
The jailer said sarcastically, "Don't explain. I have seen many people of noble status like you, but when they are about to die, they behave worse than ordinary people."
