Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry about who Ling Lingqi is. Anyway, you can attend the banquet, but you have to keep a close eye on him."

He Jinling said, "Don't worry, sir. I won't be negligent in this matter."

"You should still give him the knockout drug as usual. You don't have to make him fall asleep, but you have to make sure he's in a confused state for most of the day."

"Only in this state would Yelu Zongwang stop having wild thoughts and stop shouting."

"Although these towns are not big, there might be old friends of Yelu Zongwang among them. If someone recognizes his voice, it will be a big trouble." Chen Lang said solemnly.

He Jinling said: "I understand. I will be careful."

After this conversation, He Jinling rarely attended banquets and spent most of his time with Yelu Zongwang.

Chen Lang spent most of his time with Princess Yongjia.

At the beginning, both the palace maids and guards were extremely opposed to Chen Lang's behavior. However, after Yongjia made a big fuss and even threatened to go on a hunger strike, these people turned a blind eye to Chen Lang's frequent entry and exit of the princess's carriage.

Of course, it was impossible to be alone, as Princess Yongjia was always served by more than two palace maids.

The reason why Chen Lang chose to stay with Princess Yongjia was very simple.

The princess' carriage is so comfortable.

I don’t know what kind of black technology is used, but I can hardly feel the bumps when sitting in it.

After sitting in his own carriage for a whole day, back pain was commonplace and a bump on the head was normal.

Ever since he discovered that Princess Yongjia's carriage was very comfortable to sit in, Chen Lang rarely got out of the carriage during the day.

As for Princess Yongjia, she was also happy to get along with Chen Lang.

There is always a barrier between the palace maids and herself. No matter how close they are, the palace maids dare not overstep their bounds in the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

But Chen Lang didn't have this problem. Ying'er even felt that Chen Lang didn't treat her as a princess. Just like in Qinzhou Mansion, he treated her as a palace maid.

This way of getting along makes Ying Er feel very relaxed.

In addition, Chen Lang often comes up with some "wonderful ideas", which can effectively help him pass the boring time during the trip.

It’s just like the game of Gobang that we are playing now.

After Chen Lang placed a piece, he asked, "Tell me about your marriage partner."

Ying'er was twisting the white chess piece, thinking about how to make her move. After hearing this, she pouted and said, "Let's just play chess. Can you please not bring up such a disappointing thing?"

"Knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles." Chen Lang said, "Find out what kind of person you are going to marry. Once we get to the capital, I can make a targeted move and avoid being blinded."

Ying'er put down the chess piece and said, "To be honest, I don't know much about him. I just know his name is Yelu Zaixian, and he's Empress Dowager Xiao's fourth son."

"I heard that Empress Dowager Xiao doesn't like this son very much, so he has the lowest chance of winning the throne."

Chen Lang raised his eyebrows: "The probability is the lowest, but he married you to him..."

Ying Er said angrily: "Who said I should get married? I won't marry!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm just analyzing the reasons why I want you to marry Yelu Zaixian."

Ying Er snorted and said, "Is there any need to analyze this? It's just the Liao Kingdom's humiliation of us."

Chen Lang said, "The Liao Kingdom may have this idea, but I don't think Your Majesty would be so superficial."

"You are His Majesty's darling. Even if we marry into a foreign alliance, we will definitely choose a good husband for you."

Ying Er grabbed the chess piece and threw it onto the board: "No more, no more, I'm so fed up."

"If the emperor really liked me, he wouldn't have let me marry."

"Throughout history, there have been so many women who were married off as foreign princesses. Most of them were merely adopted daughters by the emperor temporarily. How many of them were actually princesses who were married off as foreign princesses? My father wants me to marry off as a foreign princess, which means he doesn't like me."

Chen Lang said, "We were just chatting casually, why are you so angry?"

"If His Majesty didn't like you, he wouldn't have asked me to be the special envoy to escort the bride."

Ying Er opened the car window, looked out at the vast grassland, and murmured, "Actually, I really like the grassland. The blue sky and white clouds, the green grass, and even the air is so fresh."

"But the premise of all this must be that I can come and go as I please, rather than being bound to this place for the rest of my life."

"Chen Lang, let me tell you the truth, if you can't..."

As he was speaking, a horse galloped up and stopped beside the car window. The rider was Qu Huai'en, the commander of the Black Ice Guards. "Sir, something's wrong."

Chen Lang immediately stood up and walked out of the car: "Close the windows, stay in the car and don't move."

After leaving the carriage and closing the door, Chen Lang looked at Qu Huai'en: "What's going on?"

"According to spies, there's a temporary camp fifty miles ahead. A large amount of horse manure was discovered at the site, and preliminary estimates suggest there are at least twenty riders."

The number twenty doesn't sound like a lot at first.

But if twenty fully armed cavalrymen charged across the open grassland, the destructive power would be terrifying.

Although the wedding procession was also equipped with soldiers, the cavalry could rely on their mobility to forcibly overwhelm the entire procession and then defeat them one by one.

Chen Lang frowned and said, "Could it be herdsmen?"

Qu Huai'en said: "Impossible, if they were herders, there would definitely be herds of cattle and sheep around, but there is nothing here."

"Either they are soldiers or they are bandits."

Chen Lang said: "Send the order, set up camp here."

"Send out a few more spies to find out the movements of this group of cavalry."

Qu Huai'en said, "I obey."

Chen Lang came to the carriage where Yelu Zongwang was imprisoned.

He Jinling was pouring wine for Yelu Zongwang. It went without saying that there must have been a knockout drug in the wine.

Chen Lang said, "Don't drink yet, Brother He, go out. I want to talk to him."

He Jinling nodded and got off the carriage.

Yelu Zongwang said with a half-smile, "Have you felt guilty today and won't let me take the knockout drug?"

Chen Lang crouched over and sat down in front of Yelu Zongwang. He said, "Let me ask you, which tribe governs this area?"

Yelu Zongwang said, "You won't even let me see the sky, so how can I possibly know where this is?"

Chen Lang said, "Don't pretend with me. When we settled in the town before, He Jinling must have told you the name of the town."

"Even if I knew, why would I tell you?" Yelu Zongwang said coldly. After a moment, his eyes lit up and he said, "I understand. You've run into trouble."

"Let me guess, are the pursuers coming?"

"Actually, you don't need to be nervous. If there really are pursuers, they are coming for me. No one in the wedding procession will be harmed."

"Of course, I will definitely find a way to take you away. If I can't, I will let those cavalry kill you."
