I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Lin Fan looked at this scene and couldn't help but burst out laughing, finding it extremely funny.

For a moment, it seemed as if they had returned to their childhood, to a time when they were free and unrestrained.

Although it is a deep memory, I can empathize with it.

After entering the Juyi Hall, Qin Shian and Chun Fang also fell silent. Lin Fan asked, "Where are Chu Hu and his men?"

"My Lord, Chu Hu hasn't come back yet." Chun Fang replied.

"Hasn't come back yet?" Lin Fan was stunned. According to the time, he should have come back by now. Could something have happened?

"Most of our soldiers have returned, but Brother Xiang and Chu Hu have not returned. Aren't they with the Marquis?"

The expression on Harukata's face was extremely confused.

After a moment, she realized the seriousness of the problem and her expression changed.

Lin Fan tapped the table with his fingers, feeling equally confused.

According to the speed of Chu Hu and others, they should not have reached Pingcheng Mountain by now. Could it be that they encountered some accident on the way?

"Report..." Footsteps were heard outside the hall and someone walked in shouting.

"speak!"

"General Xiang is back."

"came back?"

Lin Fan was slightly startled, and before he had time to think about it, he heard hurried footsteps outside.

"Where is the Marquis? Has the Marquis returned? Where is he now?"

The voice was so loud that it could probably be heard outside the village gate.

Who else but Chu Hu has such a voice?

Not long after, Chu Hu trotted into the Juyi Hall. After seeing Lin Fan, he laughed and said, "I knew that the Marquis was safe."

Lin Fan looked outside the hall and asked, "Where are the others?"

"Foolish Xiang is behind. Taoist Zhang was slightly injured, but not seriously. My Lord, when did you come back?" Chu Hu asked.

"I just got back not long ago. Guangzhi was injured?"

Lin Fan walked out of the Juyi Hall without asking any more questions.

As soon as he went out, he ran into Xiang Long and others head-on. He saw that Zhang Guangzhi's right arm was bandaged with white cloth, and there was still a lot of blood on the cloth.

Lin Fan frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhang Guangzhi smiled bitterly and said, "I was pursued by the enemy and shot by an arrow. Fortunately, it's not a problem."

Zhang Guangzhi recounted in detail what happened after Lin Fan left.

It turned out that after Lin Fan left, Xiang Long and others were originally going to act according to Zhang Guangzhi's arrangement, but they encountered pursuers.

After a battle, Zhang Guangzhi was shot by an arrow and had to separate and go their separate ways, and only then did they successfully return to Heisei Mountain.

But even so, many people still died at the hands of the pursuers.

Of the people Lin Fan sent into Pingyang City, only twenty-three have returned alive.

Although Lin Fan knew that casualties were inevitable, he couldn't help feeling sad after learning that so many people had died.

But he didn't know that he broke into Pingyang City, the capital of the Xin Dynasty with only a few hundred people, and finally escaped safely.

This incident caused a huge sensation in the world.

……

"My lord, we are about to enter the Jiangnan Road and will reach the Shen family tomorrow." Zhang Guangzhi looked at the surrounding terrain.

After the trip to Pingyang City, Zhang Guangzhi was completely convinced by Lin Fan. After arranging all matters in Pingcheng Village, he followed Lin Fan and continued to head south.

Lin Fan looked at the injured Zhang Guangzhi, smiled, and joked: "Fortunately, we didn't encounter any other dangers along the way, otherwise the military advisor's other arm would not be saved."

Qin Shian was stupid and didn't understand that Lin Fan was joking. He patted his chest and said, "Don't be afraid, brother. If anyone dares to harm me, I will twist his head off!"

If it was before, Chu Hu might not have believed it, but ever since Qin Shian picked up Chu Hu with one hand like a wooden stick, Chu Hu has been very convinced of Qin Shian.

Even fear.

Lin Fan also tested Qin Shian's strength. After trying, he found that Qin Shian had the strength to push eight horses sideways and pull nine oxen backwards.

He also decided to take Qin Shian south.

"If someone really falls into Shi'an's hands, he will be in big trouble." Zhang Guangzhi said with a smile.

Everyone laughed, and Lin Fan straightened his mind and asked, "Military Advisor, do you have some understanding of the Shen family?"

"I know a thing or two. When we go to the Shen family, what we should pay attention to is not the Shen family's patriarch and his entourage." Zhang Guangzhi said with narrowed eyes.

"If you don't pay attention to that damn head of the family, then what else should you pay attention to? Pay attention to whether his daughter is pretty or not?" Chu Hu said sarcastically.

"Haha, Chu Hu really guessed it right. The person we must pay attention to and be wary of is really the daughter of the head of the Shen family, Shen Qingqing." Zhang Guangzhi stroked his goatee and said mysteriously.

Xiang Long felt that something was wrong and asked, "Military Advisor, we are going to recruit the Shen family, not to propose marriage. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to pay attention to an unmarried woman?"

Zhang Guangzhi did not answer, but looked at Lin Fan and asked, "What do you think, lord?"

Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "I have heard of Shen Qingqing before. She is said to be a thoughtful woman. Sometimes, even the head of the Shen family would ask for Shen Qingqing's opinion."

Zhang Guangzhi nodded and said, "Yes, although Shen Qingqing is just a woman, she should not be underestimated. As far as I know, Shen Qingqing is known as the most outstanding business genius in the Shen family. This girl could write poems at the age of three, and knew how to play chess at the age of five. She has never lost a game so far. She is definitely not simple!"

Everyone was silent.

After listening to Zhang Guangzhi's description, I realized how extraordinary Shen Qingqing was.

Such a woman can be called an extraordinary woman in the world, but these are only what the Shen family has revealed. As for how many more are hidden by the Shen family, no one knows.

"It's okay. We just need to be careful. Besides, the Shen family is a family of merchants. The conditions I offer cannot be rejected by the Shen family."

There was a smile of confidence on Lin Fan's face.

"My lord, could you reveal something so that I can analyze it." Zhang Guangzhi was itching to find out what Lin Fan was up to this time.

"You'll know when the time comes. It'll only be a matter of a few days anyway." Lin Fan kept it a secret.

Shen family.

"Miss, according to the secret guards, the young man who caused a big disturbance in Pingyang City and defeated Shangguan Ren with one shot was none other than the eldest prince of Liang, Lin Fan."

In the yard, Shen Qingqing was holding a book.

The maid in yellow standing nearby whispered.

"Oh? The prince of Daliang is so impatient? Then I am interested, and I have to thank him." Shen Qingqing chuckled.

"But...Miss, Shangguan Ren is your fiancé after all, why don't you care at all?" the maid asked in surprise.

"Fiancé? Haha, I've never even met him, how can I have any feelings for him? I will naturally go find my own sweetheart. As for Shangguan Ren, I don't bother to pay attention to him."
