The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 209

[Chapter 209: Encountering a Black Shop]

When hearing about the ambush, Xu Wenxuan’s face became more and more ugly. Are the people in the capital really unable to hold back?

“The storm is coming, you and I need to be more cautious.”

Xu Wenxuan said with a serious face. Strictly speaking, Lin Tian and they should be considered to be in the same faction.

In addition to the fact that he and Lin Tian are good friends, His Royal Highness King Jing sent him to Beijing with Lin Tian, just to let him assist Lin Tian and gain a foothold in the capital as soon as possible.

However, before their series of plans were implemented, someone had already set his sights on Lin Tian.

This is not good news.

“Of course I know this, but now the most urgent task is to find Doctor Ning.”

Lin Tian said indifferently, but he quietly put this matter in his heart.

Although he was anxious to save Lei Ting, he also knew that family and national affairs were more important.

It’s just that he can slow down a little now, saving Lei Ting is the most important thing at the moment.

“By the way, when are you going to leave?”

Xu Wenxuan asked. When he came in just now, he found some bags and parcels piled up at the door. It should be that Lin Tian was going to go out.

“Let’s go after dinner.”

Lin Tian took two more bites of rice. He had almost finished eating during the conversation.

After Lei Dian and the others packed up, they could set off.

“What a coincidence. I was planning to leave after telling you! Why don’t we go together so that we can take care of each other.”

Xu Wenxuan suggested. He knew that Lin Tian would definitely agree.

“You and I have the same goal, so we should go together.”

Lin Tian rolled his eyes at him without any hesitation. What’s there to say? Isn’t it natural?

The two of them smiled and squeezed each other again, dispelling the tense atmosphere.

After dinner, several people prepared the carriage to set off.

“You must be careful on the way.”

After all, Lin Zuhua was still not at ease. The people in the capital were so arrogant that they were afraid that they would be ambushed on the way.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I will definitely bring the person back to you!”

Seeing Lin Zuhua’s worried look, Lin Tian’s heart suddenly warmed up and he smiled nonchalantly.

This is the feeling of someone caring about you!

He stepped forward and patted Lin Zuhua’s shoulder like a good brother, looking like a good brother.

“You are so disrespectful! Let’s get going quickly, it will be more delayed if it’s too late!”

Lin Zuhua was amused by his careless look, and his heavy mood suddenly became lighter, and he gave him a few more instructions.

“You should also be careful in the capital. I have already told them to strengthen the defense of the Lin Mansion. If something happens, go find Mo Di.”

Lin Tian was also a little worried and said again.

After the father and son gave each other a few instructions, they turned around and set off.

Their trip was very simple. Lei Dian and Lin Kang took turns driving the carriage, which could also save some physical strength.

In the twilight, before the curfew, a carriage swayed on the road.

No one knew about all this. Even the people sent by Zhu Jinquan just waited outside the Lin Mansion and didn’t notice that Lin Tian had already gone out.

Several people rushed all night, but because the road was not easy to walk at night, they only traveled a quarter of the way when dawn came. After

a night of hard work, several people found a village to stay, ate something and continued on the road.

Until the evening of the next day, because they traveled day and night, and kept on traveling, and the carriages and horses they used were all top-notch.

So at night they arrived at a small town a hundred miles outside Ningjiang City.

“Why are there so many refugees on this road?”

Lin Tian lifted the curtain of the carriage from time to time to get some fresh air, and found that the closer he went to Ningjiang City, the more refugees there were on the road.

There were only a few scattered before, but now he could see one every few steps.

“Did something happen?”

Xu Wenxuan also frowned.

Although he was busy with personal affairs recently and didn’t pay much attention to the outside world, he would still read the memorials submitted every day.

But the memorial did not say what happened in the Jiangbei area?

“Let’s take a look first. Perhaps there is a turmoil hidden under this calmness that we cannot see.”

Lin Tian’s expression was a little solemn. He reviewed the riots and disasters he had learned from history books before.

The consequences of each disaster are very serious. In this era of backward economy and technology, once something happens, the losses will be heavy!

Although Lin Tian is a modern man in his soul, he is in ancient times and can’t do anything by himself.

The two looked at each other and saw the unrest in each other’s eyes, but they still have more important things to do now, so these things can only be put on hold for the time being.

After half a month, after getting the antidote, Lin Tian planned to come again.

“Let’s take a rest at this post station tonight!”

After entering the city, several people found the only post station in the city. This post station does not look gorgeous, but at least it is neat and tidy.

Compared with those dilapidated houses, this is already a very good place to stay!

“But it’s so desolate here, I always feel something is wrong.”

Lin Kang took a look at the sign hanging on the station. The words were very simple, just a certain post station.

But the first two words had been blown away by the wind and a lot of paint was left. He looked carefully and couldn’t recognize what the words were.

“Isn’t it a black shop?”

Song Zijie also got off the carriage and squinted at the post station.

His intuition told him that this shop seemed unusual.

Usually this place should be very prosperous, why is it so desolate now, and there are few people on the street.

Occasionally, a few people passed by, and their expressions were also extremely panicked. Looking at their eyes was even more strange.

“Black shop? What are you afraid of with us here?”

Lin Tian glanced at Song Zijie jokingly, as if he was laughing at him for not being mature after so many things.

Song Zijie’s face flushed in an instant, as if he had returned to the time when he and Lin Tian had a falling out. He was often looked at by Lin Tian with such a joking look.

“That’s right, I have two big backers, Master Lin and Master Xu!”

But soon, Song Zijie came back to his senses. He is no longer the previous Song Zijie, and Lin Tian is no longer the previous Lin Tian.

Now they are on the same front!

“Yes, so what are you afraid of? With me here, even if you encounter a black shop, I can get you out!”
