The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

"With the chaos outside, is there something going on here for you, my lord, coming to Xishan?" Zhang Yulin wiped the sweat off his forehead and spoke casually, "Of course, not all refugees are bad people. Just in case, you, a noble man, should bring along guards when you go out."

After what happened today, Roujia began to regret it, but she couldn't tell others the reason directly, so she said vaguely, "I have a few relatives and friends in Xishan. The Tartars have already attacked Yanmen Pass, and I am worried about their safety."

Zhang Yulin understood in his heart that Emperor Wende was currently overwhelmed and probably had no time to take care of those two families.

The man on the cart suddenly said, "Your Highness is kind-hearted, but the former Prince Consort Lin San is blind."

Zhang Yulin took a breath and said, "General Lin, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak."

Lu Wang scratched his head, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. He turned into a curious baby and asked, "Uncle, what does "good man uncle" mean?"

Just as Zhang Yulin was racking his brains to find an excuse to end this embarrassing topic, an unusually calm voice sounded.

"Different road non-phase plan."

Lu Tan was a little unhappy. He looked at the man with a broken arm lying on the cart several times. The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong, so he pulled his master's sleeve.

Roujia turned her head. From her angle, she could only see a side face surrounded by messy, greasy hair, sunken eye sockets and cheeks, a high and prominent nose bridge, and a pair of thick black eyebrows.

Well, he does look good, but it's a pity that half of his arm is broken.

Lu Tan was secretly anxious and continued to wink, "Master, please take a closer look."

Puzzled, Roujia turned to look. The man on the cart had tilted his head to the side at some point, and now all she could see was a dark neck.

After walking for a while, they finally met the government officials who came to arrest the criminals.

Roujia was helped into the carriage. Before leaving, she lifted a corner of the curtain and asked, "Excuse me, benefactor, where do you live?"

Zhang Yulin quickly declined, "I have no fixed place to stay, we will meet again if fate allows."

After hearing this, Roujia thought for a moment and left two servants to help. Zhang Yulin was about to refuse when he saw the carriage speed away and soon disappeared.

Finally they arrived at the city gate. Zhang Yulin took out two ingots of silver from his pocket and handed them to the officer. The officer refused to listen at first, but when he heard that Zhang Yulin wanted them to guarantee that he and his brothers would enter the city.

The two men accepted it, and Zhang Yulin and his family were allowed to enter the city smoothly after only a few brief interrogations by the guards.

Seeing that the officer had left, Zhang Yulin looked at his dejected nephew and asked, "Should I take you back, or do you go back by yourself?"

Lu Wang lowered his head and rubbed one foot on the ground. "Uncle, can I go home with you?"

Zhang Yulin gloated, "Nephew, you should know that you can avoid the first day, but you can't avoid the fifteenth day."

A carriage drove by, and without saying a word, the people on the cart were lifted up and moved into the carriage. Lu Wang was about to stop them when he saw an acquaintance, Lu Tan. "The princess sent this servant to pick up the benefactor."

Zhang Yulin had a headache, while Lu Wang was overjoyed. He didn't have to go home for the time being! But soon he couldn't smile anymore.

Roujia was confused. "Father-in-law?"

Lu Lingcong bowed and said, "Your humble servant greets the Princess. I have come to take my rebellious son home."

"So it's the Fourth Young Master Lu?" Roujia looked at the young man beside her in surprise. Wasn't that benefactor Mrs. Zhang's younger brother, the uncle Ning An had mentioned before? "What a coincidence."

Zhang Yulin coughed lightly and said, "Meet my brother-in-law."

Lu Lingcong smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. Your sister has already prepared a table of delicious food at home."

Upon hearing this, Roujia said, "Master Lu, Master Zhang saved my life. I would like to let him stay in my house for a few days to express my gratitude."

Lu Lingcong hesitated for a moment, but seeing that his wife's brother had no intention of objecting, he had to take his son and leave first.

Zhang Yulin touched his nose and said, "I didn't mean to hide it. It's just my habit of hiding my identity after years of traveling around. After all, I'm running a small business that's not very respectable and I'm afraid it will bring bad reputation to my family."

Roujia did not comment. "Master Zhang, I found that the man on the cart looks a bit like the former prince consort." After saying that, she waited quietly for the man to answer.

Lu Tan walked in quickly and whispered something in the princess's ear. Rou Jia became more certain, "The court doctor said that most of the scars on his body were caused by weapons. The wounds on his right hand and leg are about two months old."

Zhang Yulin sighed, "This is a coincidence. Ever since the news of General Lin's disappearance spread, many wanderers have spontaneously gone to Jizhou to search for General Lin's whereabouts. I am one of them."

"I asked several corpse keepers about the cemetery where the bodies of the deceased soldiers were disposed of, and finally found this person in a place called Yerengou."

Roujia's attitude softened and she hesitated, "Then how did you manage to bypass the Tartar army with a seriously injured man?"

Zhang Yulin said innocently, "We don't need to march to fight, nor do we need to enter the city. We can just take the deserted mountain paths that few people go by, and soon we will bypass the Tartars and reach the southern part of Jizhou."

It seemed to make sense from a common sense perspective, but Roujia was confused for a moment as she encountered a blind spot in her knowledge.

Zhang Yulin, who took everything in, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Roujia focused her attention. “Then you should have known that he was General Lin.”

This point cannot be admitted. Zhang Yulin put the blame on Lin Zhaochuan. "I'm not sure. I asked him many times on the way, but he refused to answer. When we first found him, he wanted to commit suicide every few days. Sigh."

Roujia and Lutan exchanged a glance. "Since he doesn't know what's good for him, you can just abandon him and run for your own life."

Zhang Yulin smiled and said, "I have been walking in the underworld for many years. I rely on brotherhood. If I don't help someone in need, it goes against the ethics of the underworld."

It sounded flawless, so he ordered Lu Tan to take Master Zhang down to rest. Rou Jia thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was wrong.

The next day, Roujia got up early and went to see Lin Zhaochuan first. Roujia looked at the man lying on the bed and could hardly believe her eyes. Was this the unshaven, unkempt man from yesterday?

Lin Zhaochuan was dressed in a plain white shirt, with his hair and beard neatly groomed, revealing a tough and resolute face. Even though he was lying motionless on the bed, his aura could not be underestimated.

A deep, hoarse voice rang out, "Who's outside?"

According to seniority theory, she is still his former sister-in-law. Although there is no relationship between them now, Roujia still feels a little awkward and unnatural.

"It's me, General Lin." Pretending to be calm, Roujia sat on the kang opposite the bed. "I have a few questions I want to ask you. Is it convenient now?" She regretted it after she said it.

General Lin frowned and looked at his inner garment, feeling rather helpless. "Princess, please speak."

Roujia quietly looked away. "Do you remember what happened?"

General Lin was very calm. "I don't remember clearly. I just remember getting stabbed in the arm and then my horse was thrown over. When I woke up again, I found myself lying on a cart."
