Chapter 241 Conspiracy
The Fourth Master's expression grew serious, his keen intuition telling him that this movement was definitely not normal.
As he listened carefully, the Fourth Master's brows furrowed more and more tightly. He recognized that it was the Third Master's voice.
Why is Third Brother not sleeping at night and running all the way here?
Are you here to listen to his conversation?!
Lin Mingyan couldn't recognize the Third Master's voice, but she could tell that the other party was two adult men.
When she thought about their bold behavior just now, which had been heard by these two people, she felt like her whole body was on fire.
The Fourth Master knew her worries, and held Lin Mingyan's hand tightly, pretending to write on her hand:
There was no one here just now, so these two people must have just come over.
Lin Mingyan's palms were itching, and she couldn't tell what the Fourth Master had written.
But she felt much better after being comforted, and forced herself not to think about it.
What is happening right now is more important.
If it was a man and a woman, I would guess that they were just like them, coming out to experience a different kind of romance.
But these are two men, running so far in the middle of the night and carrying someone on their backs, that must be a conspiracy.
She looked at the Fourth Master, her eyes filled with inquiry and uneasiness.
The Fourth Master shook his head slightly, signaling her not to act rashly.
They lay there quietly, listening to the Third Master's voice and thinking about how to respond.
At this moment, the atmosphere by the lake became extremely depressing.
Even the fireflies sensed the solemn atmosphere and gradually flew away.
The moonlight disappeared into the dark clouds, and the night became darker, making it easier for the Fourth Master and the other two to hide.
By the quiet lake, although the Third Master's voice was deliberately lowered, it still reached the ears of Lin Mingyan and the Fourth Master clearly.
The Third Master was talking to his men, his tone carrying a hint of mystery and eagerness.
"Be sure to report this matter to the Crown Prince." The Third Master's words revealed a calmness.
He was a little nervous: The boss already knew about this, what did he want to do?
But no matter what the boss wanted to do, he didn't have enough strength to fight back.
Only by revealing this matter to the prince and intervening with the prince's power can we know the boss's next move.
And the prince will also flatter him, making a profit from an unnecessary piece of information, which is really good.
The person opposite nodded slightly, took the things given by the Third Master with a serious expression, and was given a few more instructions.
Lin Mingyan's heart tightened when she heard this. What did she want to tell the prince?
She looked at the Fourth Master and exchanged glances with him in the dark night. They both guessed that it was about Yi.
After all, we have only been in the frontier for a few days, and nothing else has happened except this one thing that is unusual.
The Fourth Master's expression grew increasingly gloomy, his eyes flickering with contemplation.
Before San Ye and the others left, the wind by the lake seemed to have become even stronger, making their clothes rustle.
The temperature dropped at night. Lin Mingyan huddled close to the Fourth Master, feeling the warmth coming from his body, and felt a little more at ease.
The two of them were silent for a long time before the sound from the other end gradually faded away.
Lin Mingyan wanted to stand up, but the Fourth Master held her back and shook his head slightly at her.
After a while, a voice came from the darkness: "Third Master, there is no one here, please go first."
Only then did Lin Mingyan realize that these princes were very suspicious.
Even if you don't see anyone, you should still ambush them nearby.
This time, after the voices disappeared, the Fourth Master didn't need to remind her, as Lin Mingyan curled up in his arms without moving.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Mingyan's eyelids were drooping, and the Fourth Master finally sat up and carried her into the cabin.
"There must be someone guarding outside. Let's sleep in the cabin for one night and leave tomorrow morning." The Fourth Master lowered the thick cabin curtain to isolate the moisture outside.
Lin Mingyan sat down, rubbing her stiff and numb arms and neck, then knocking them again and complaining, "You guys are really suspicious!"
But apart from a little complaint, there is nothing else I can do but stay here for one night.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines on the river, creating golden ripples.
The Fourth Master did not choose to return the same way. He was unwilling to take any risk of being discovered by the Third Master.
"Cha Cha, let's go back by boat," he untied the anchor with a calm expression, his movements were clumsy but decisive.
Lin Mingyan smiled helplessly: "Okay, we can all swim anyway, so if we fall into the lake we can swim ashore~"
The Fourth Master pinched her face and snorted, "I'm not that out of line!"
It's just a matter of going downstream and controlling the direction of the boat.
As the anchor was slowly pulled up, the boat seemed like a bird that had broken free from its restraints, floating downstream under the push of the lake water.
A gentle breeze blew, the Fourth Master stood at the bow of the boat, and Lin Mingyan stood beside him, looking at the different scenery.
The boat moved steadily forward in the river, the scenery on both sides of the river kept receding, and the camp gradually appeared in their sight.
The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully observed the situation around him.
Fortunately, it was still early, and there were not many people in the camp except for the guards who were changing shifts. Only a few wisps of smoke were rising.
When the boat approached the camp, the two men quickly got ashore and stopped the boat.
Su Peisheng had been waiting by the tent for a long time. He didn't hear the sound of horses, but he saw the boat with his sharp eyes.
Knowing that the two ancestors had returned, he hurried to greet them.
"Was there anything unusual last night?" The Fourth Master returned to the tent calmly and asked immediately.
Su Peisheng recounted every detail of what happened last night. Apart from the fact that Prince Zhi seemed to have lost his temper, there were no other unexpected incidents.
The Fourth Master roughly put the matter together and ordered: "Send someone to the woods to get the horse this afternoon. Remember to avoid people."
Su Peisheng quickly agreed and quickly arranged for personnel to go.
Lin Mingyan felt a little sleepy and couldn't close her eyes for long the whole night.
When I returned to the tent, I felt very sleepy and yawned so much that tears came to my eyes.
When the Fourth Master saw her like this, he cursed the Third Master in his heart again.
He quickly said, "Cha Cha, sleep a little longer and catch up on your sleep."
Lin Mingyan was somewhat tempted, but then she remembered that the Fourth Master had also stayed up all night.
And she slept for a while. The Fourth Master was alert all night and hardly slept a wink.
Then he reached out for a hug: "Master, let's go together."
The Fourth Master is young and strong, and full of energy, so it’s actually not a big deal for him to stay up all night like this.
But with Cha Cha acting like a spoiled child, with red eyes and a soft ending to her voice, he couldn't move anymore.
I thought that there was nothing to do today anyway, and the servants would investigate the situation with the third brother.
He hugged her and carried her to bed, and soon they fell into a sweet dream.
Lin Mingyan nestled in the Fourth Master's warm embrace and slept soundly. When she woke up, the sun was already at its highest point.
The Fourth Master must have gone out to do something busy. She called out, and Linglan came in around the screen to help her dress.
He also said, "Miss Fucha is here. She has been waiting outside for almost an hour."
