Traveling day and night, they arrived in Jiangzhou on the 15th day.

The sun is about to set, and the sunset casts a layer of golden light on the entire city, with white walls and green tiles, graceful and pleasant.

Fubao lifted the carriage curtain, stuck his head out and looked out, exclaiming: "How beautiful..."

Lin Sen smiled and said, "There are many good places in Jiangzhou. When I have time, I will take you there."

The streets of Jiangzhou are not as bustling as those of Yuzhou. Here, there are bluestone roads, wooden door lintels, and people on the street exude a leisurely attitude.

Fubao: "After we win this battle, I will bring my family over to see it."

Lin Sen: "We can pick them up now."

Fubao: "We just come here to have some fun. People in Linzhou are homesick. Grandpa and grandma will definitely want to go back and live there. Besides, the shops are all in Yuzhou, and my uncle is still on the battlefield, so they definitely don't want to go back."

Qing Heng slept from beginning to end, and except for waking up to eat, he hardly opened his eyes.

The carriage suddenly stopped, and Qing Heng lost his balance and almost fell to the ground. He suddenly woke up and asked, "Where is this?"

Lin Sen: "We're here, come out."

Fu Bao got out of the carriage and saw an ancient and solemn door in front of him. He looked up and saw "Lin Mansion."

Fubao: "We can just stay at the inn. No need to trouble your family."

Lin Sen: "You're at my doorstep, why don't you come in and sit down?"

Qing Heng didn't care. He jumped out of the car and looked up at Fu Bao: "Come down."

They followed Lin Sen up the stairs. The servant at the door saw someone from afar and was about to stop them. After paying attention, he found that it was his young master who had returned. He immediately greeted him with a smile and asked about his well-being: "Young Master Sun, you're back! I'll go tell the master and the old lady."

After saying this, he ran in happily to pass on the message.

Lin Sen led them straight to the study, and Fu Bao followed closely behind him and said, "Let's try to deal with the food issue ourselves first. If there are any difficulties, we can discuss it with your family."

It wasn't that she was seeking a distant place instead of a near one, but the current situation was really awkward. The traitor was most likely from the Lin family, and now that he was exposed in front of them, it was bound to cause trouble.

Lin Sen didn't notice it at all, he just thought she was being polite, and he consoled her as he walked: "We Lin family will help with these small favors if we can, whether it's helping you or Tianqi, it's what we should do."

Unable to refuse such a kind invitation, Fubao followed him into the study with a heavy heart, but Qingheng disappeared without him knowing when.

As soon as they entered the room, the white-haired old man was sitting in the main seat drinking tea. When he saw them come in, he slowly stood up and said, "Guests are here, please take a seat."

Lin Sen shouted happily, "Grandpa!" and then almost pounced on the old man and hung on him.

Old Master Lin blew his beard and glared, "Let me go. You really don't remember the etiquette I taught you. It's so unbecoming."

Lin Sen let him go and bowed respectfully, "Grandfather!"

Fubao could see that the old man was not angry from beginning to end, and might have been a little serious only because she was there.

Lin Sen introduced excitedly: "Grandpa, this is Li Yishu, my savior!" He recounted in detail how he was captured and tortured by the Linzhou rebels and was finally rescued by the Li family.

Old Master Lin was so distressed that his eyes turned red several times. He stood up nervously and looked at Lin Sen from head to toe, feeling distressed.

Lin Sen: "I was really dying at that time. I was dragged so badly that I was in a mess. You didn't see it. This little girl and her master were really amazing doctors! They were also on the way to escape. When they met refugees, they didn't abandon me..."

At this time, Mr. Lin no longer regarded Fubao as an ordinary guest. He stood up, bowed and said, "Miss, thank you for saving my grandson's life! Thank you! If you need help from my Lin family in the future, just let me know."

Fu Bao hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting: "You are too kind."

Lin Sen changed the subject and said, "Grandpa, don't talk about later. I need your help right now."

Mr. Lin asked seriously, "What's the matter?"

Fu Bao: "King Li of Linzhou started a rebellion. Our Tianqi army has fought with them several times and surrounded Linzhou. We thought they were short of food and wouldn't be able to hold out for long, but now the Tianqi army's food and grass have disappeared, and Linzhou shows no signs of food shortage at all."

When Mr. Lin heard this, he slammed the table and stood up: "This is ridiculous! Who is responsible for transporting the grain? This is treason!"

Fubao looked at his anger and felt a little relieved. At least for now, it seemed that the head of the Lin family didn't know about this.

Lin Sen hesitated for a while and stammered, "It's my father."

Mr. Lin was already old, and now he was so angry that his head hurt. He couldn't hear what Lin Sen was mumbling. He said, "Speak louder!"

Lin Sen coughed unnaturally: "Yes! Father!"

Old Master Lin turned pale instantly and said in disbelief, "Who are you talking about?" Then he looked at Lin Sen's solemn expression and threw the teacup beside him, "Evil son!"

Fubao originally thought that Lin Sen would make a few remarks to defend his father, but unexpectedly, he blurted out: "You should have been mentally prepared a long time ago."

The old man of the Lin family was the prince's tutor of the previous dynasty. He worked hard for General Xiao during his rebellion and sought a chance for him to be rehabilitated. Later, he and his entire family were exiled to Lingnan.

Until Xiao Xu had no way to retreat, he broke into the imperial city, put on the dragon robe, and immediately allowed the Lin family to return to the capital and be promoted.

But Mr. Lin refused his reward and returned to his hometown. Lin Sen's father was the only one in the Lin family who insisted on staying in the capital to serve as an official, and he almost broke off relations with the Lin family for this.

Old Master Lin walked tremblingly to Lin Sen and asked, "Is he incompetent or...collaborating with the enemy?"

Fu Bao felt a little sorry for the old man who could barely stand. He looked at Lin Sen, who did not show any sadness at all. Instead, he said firmly, "If he was incompetent, he would not have thrown away all the food and fodder at once without notifying the barracks. Anyone can see that he did it on purpose."

Mr. Lin was in agony: "He is so confused!"

Lin Sen: "The matter has been investigated. The emperor was furious, but he did not punish the Lin family. He has done his best. What we need to do now is to quickly raise money and food. Even if we can't fill the hole, we can't let my brothers go to the battlefield and fight the enemy and go hungry."

Fubao could see that Lin Sen knew who the traitor was better than she did, and he would never show partiality. So she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was captured by a man named Lin Keyue and taken to Linzhou this time."

The air in the study room suddenly became silent. Not only did the old man's face turn pale, but Lin Sen also turned around in disbelief and exclaimed, "Who?"

Fubao: "Lin Keyue."

She must tell the Lin family that there is more than one person collaborating with the enemy and they must be on guard against them.

The old man swayed, resting his right hand on the table and said, "Isn't he studying in the capital..."

Lin Sen sneered: "I should have thought of it earlier. If I stay with my father, it is only a matter of time before I collaborate with the enemy. From now on, I don't have this brother anymore."

The old man closed his eyes in pain. He had been hit one after another, and they were all relatives connected to him by blood. How could this happen...
