The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 144

[Chapter 144 Departure]

Lin Tian walked back with a frown on his face.

Although Zhou Shusheng had nothing to do with him, his troubles were caused by him.

After all, he was the one who harmed Zhou Shusheng.

Lin Tian was in a melancholy mood and was unhappy all the way.

Lin Kang also walked carefully, holding his breath and trying not to make a big noise.

He was also in a very depressed mood. He was drinking and talking happily last night, so how come he heard about his death today?

The two returned to the inn where they stayed in silence all the way. Lin Tian exhaled a deep breath.

“Let’s go, pack up and hurry on the road!”

Lin Tian said, and took the lead in packing up his things.

“Master, aren’t we waiting for the master and the others?”

Lin Kang didn’t know yet, thinking that he would stay here for a few more days, and his face was full of doubts.

Could it be that because of the death of Zhou Shusheng, the young master didn’t want to stay in this sad place?

“I received the message yesterday, and he should be at the dock by now.”

Lin Tian had already packed his bags and was just waiting for Lin Kang.

He explained in a low voice.

Lin Kang nodded woodenly and said “oh”, thinking that he heard it.

He was not in a good mood at this time.

It was not until the two of them packed up their things and had a simple breakfast downstairs that Lin Kang’s mood recovered a little.

“Forget it, this guy surnamed Zheng will be dealt with when I am free!”

Lin Tian said while biting the steamed buns. The guy surnamed Zheng should also hate him.

So it is better to put him on the blacklist directly.

“I must deal with this guy!”

Lin Kang also waved his fists and bit the meat bun in his hand fiercely.

After the two of them finished their breakfast, they rushed to the dock one after another.

On the way, they talked about the poetry meeting last night, and Miss Qingchan spent a good night with a strange talent.

No one knew that the center of their topic was passing by at this time.

“Master, you are famous!”

Lin Kang said happily, listening to the discussion of those people on the road with a proud face.

It seemed that those people were talking about him!

“So what? They are just material possessions.”

After this incident, Lin Tian has become indifferent, so he doesn’t care about these honors.

Or rather, these honors are not important to him.

“That’s right! But I’m still very happy to hear that. The young master is really amazing!”

Lin Kang also nodded, not quite understanding, but still happily listening to the praises of passers-by.

The two soon arrived at the dock, where Lin Zuhua and his party had been waiting.

They hurried and handed over all the official duties on the day the new governor arrived.

After all, the emperor’s orders cannot be violated.

“Why are you here so soon?”

Lin Tian was also a little surprised at their speed, looking at the dusty appearance of these people.

“Time is tight, there is no delay.” Lin Zuhua said.

He hasn’t received any news from the capital for twenty years.

The emperor summoned him back to the capital so urgently this time, and there must be something big going on.

So he dared not delay.

What’s more, in the entire Lin family, only he and Lin Tian are the real masters, so it’s okay to dismiss those servants.

He hurriedly set off with a few servants and a housekeeper.

It took Lin Tian three days to get to Suzhou, but he only got there in a day and a half, which shows how fast the journey was.

“That’s right, it’s better to leave as soon as possible.”

Lin Tian nodded. The boat they hired had already been waiting at the dock.

Originally, they wanted to take a merchant ship, but Lin Tian recruited so many workers to serve as escorts, so Lin Zuhua had no choice but to pay a high price to rent a passenger ship.

This was also good, as they were all on the boat and it was convenient to take care of them.

They planned to take the waterway, so they didn’t have to go too far, and they would eat and live on the boat, so they would spend less time and the time to go to the capital could be reduced by half.

Before, King Jing went to the capital at full speed overnight, but they didn’t have that ability, and it might take more than half a month to get there.

So it was better to take a boat.

“Have you sold the mansion in Liangzhou City?”

Lin Tian asked after getting on the boat and putting his things away.

“No, I dismissed the servants and kept a few people to do daily cleaning! I just hope that when I am old, I can return to Liangzhou City to retire!” Lin Zuhua said.

He has spent nearly half of his life in Liangzhou City, so he must have feelings for it.

That house can’t be sold casually.

“That’s true.”

Lin Tian didn’t comment much, just nodded.

“I don’t know what kind of things will be waiting for us when we go to the capital this time.”

Standing at the bow, Lin Tian looked at the calm river surface with some emotion.

It is said that there is a calm before the storm. “When the enemy comes, the general will stop him, and

when the water comes, the earth will cover it. My Lin family has never been afraid of anything!”

Lin Zuhua was also a little deep, but he had been through countless battlefields with swords and guns, so how could he worry about this?

“That’s right!”

Lin Tian also took a deep breath, and the salty smell of the river water hit his face.

However, just when he was about to turn around and go back to the cabin, he found that there seemed to be something floating on the river not far away, and it looked like a person.

“Tian’er, do you think there is a person there?”

Just when Lin Tian closed his eyes and wanted to see it more clearly, Lin Zuhua suddenly pointed in that direction and asked.

Lin Tian leaned over to look, and it was indeed a person!

And he was very familiar with that person!

Isn’t it the disappeared Zhou Shusheng!

“It’s the guy named Zhou!”

Lin Tian shouted, and he didn’t care about anything at the moment. He jumped over the railing and jumped into the river.

“Master! It’s dangerous!”

“Master!”

Lin Tian’s actions shocked everyone on the boat. Lin Kang rushed to the side of the boat and wanted to learn from Lin Tian to flip out.

However, he was caught by Lin Zuhua’s quick eyes and hands.

Lei Ting and Lei Dian were more calm. After seeing Lin Tian’s movements in the water, they stood at the bow.

Lin Tian jumped down and choked on the river water.

But soon he adapted to the feeling in the water, paddled hard and swam forward slowly, slowly approaching Zhou Shusheng.

Zhou Shusheng had fainted at this time and was floating on the river.

He didn’t have many external injuries, so there were no carnivorous fish attracted by the smell of blood.

“Come here!”

Lin Tian grabbed a piece of wood floating on the river, and swam to Zhou Shusheng smoothly with that little force, and also held him tightly.

Fortunately, Zhou Shusheng was unconscious at this time and did not show any signs of struggle, so it was easy for Lin Tian to grab him.

“Master! Let me help you!”

Lin Kang saw Lin Tian’s movements clearly, and he became excited and jumped down without saying a word.
