I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Mao Zhong grinned behind Lin Chen, not knowing what to say anymore. He felt that Lin Chen was being so disrespectful to him in public.

Isn't he afraid that he is the prince's man and the prince will take ruthless action against him? However, Mao Zhong thought about it. Given the current trend, so many people value Lin Chen. If the prince suddenly took action, it might cause public outrage. The prince didn't want to take the blame, so he had to give up.

Seeing that Mao Zhong had stopped talking, Lin Chen felt that things were finally quiet, so he returned to his seat and began to enjoy the celebration banquet.

After all, everyone present was an important minister in the imperial court, and they had a lot to say. Although Lin Chen had made great contributions, he was only a retainer, and he was aware of his own status and position, and he would not act arrogantly or show off in front of others.

So after the banquet started, Lin Chen ate quietly after all the dishes were served. It was as simple as enjoying his own world. Lin Chen was not a person who liked noise, but in this deep palace, there was nothing he could do.

After thinking about it, Lin Chen walked into the crowd, took another pot of wine, and went back to drink it slowly. The scene was also very lively. Seeing that the princess appreciated Lin Chen so much, these ministers also thought that this decision was quite good and wanted to say a few words to the princess.

"My Lady, you have done a great deed this time. We have cornered those bandits this time, leaving them with nowhere to retreat. It seems that if there is a war in the future, we can let General Lin Chen lead those soldiers to fight on the front lines, and we will be able to achieve a great victory."

"Then His Majesty will only pay more attention to the princess."

Lin Chen thought that he had heard these words too many times. After all, these ministers all felt that this matter was all thanks to the princess and others.

But the old emperor brought the troops here, but he didn't go and asked his subordinates to go. Isn't that also the old emperor's achievement? Instead, no one said it was his majesty's credit. Lin Chen was also very surprised.

But there was no point in saying more at this moment. Lin Chen just sat quietly in his seat, drinking wine and eating food. Mao Chong over there was surprised to see that Lin Chen didn't say a word at the banquet. He thought that Lin Chen would stand out and talk excitedly about how he fought, but he finished the food without saying a word.

Mao Zhong was very confused and increasingly unable to figure out what kind of person Lin Chen was. He had thought that he was an arrogant and domineering person, but at this moment he looked extremely quiet.

Mao Zhong really disliked Lin Chen, so he thought that Lin Chen was definitely pretending at this time.

He has some knowledge and knows not to talk too much at this time.

Then Mao Zhong looked at Lin Chen with disdain, and walked out slowly after the banquet was over, without looking back to say a few more words. After all, he knew that this was the princess's territory, and saying too much would only bring trouble.

The banquet was finally coming to an end, and Lin Chen felt that these people should be leaving soon.

However, everyone who stayed here now had something to discuss with the princess, and Lin Chen couldn't leave, so after eating and drinking, Lin Chen stood up and walked around a few times, then returned to his seat and watched the main person negotiate with these ministers.

"Everyone, the annual horseback archery competition is coming up soon. We will be heading to the Jiangbei region. I heard that Your Majesty will also be joining us on this trip, but I'm afraid that will be difficult for him given his health."

What? Jiangbei area? Lin Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this. Jiangbei area was a notorious den of thieves. Not only was there a lot of game there, but there were also many delicacies from the mountains and the sea, as well as many foods that had never been seen before. This was a good advantage, but the disadvantage was that there were a lot of barbarians there, and many of them were exiled or evil thieves who gathered there.

But he was used to it. After all, the annual horseback archery competition of the Great Qin was held in Jiangbei. Nothing had happened in previous years, so Lin Chen felt relieved.

Just go, since nothing had happened in the past few years, and there wasn't a chance anything would happen this year either. However, the Jiangbei area was quite far away, and it would take a whole day just to get there by car.

Can the emperor hold up? Lin Chen thought, however, the game hunted in the annual archery competition is very delicious. Whether it is barbecued or stir-fried, it is a must-try. That's why so many people are so eager to go.

Lin Chen thought that he might as well go and see what was going on in the Jiangbei area. However, if there were too many bandits there, it would be a good thing to kill them all and bring them under his command.

But to put it simply, he didn't know much about the terrain structure of the Jiangbei area. He just thought that people there liked to hunt in the wild.

There is really wild game everywhere, wild rabbits are everywhere, and the sexes don't change. So the residents there are used to eating wild game from the mountains and rarely grow their own vegetables. But it seems that there is really a lot of wild game in this place.

Otherwise, they haven't eaten it all after so many years. It seems that they are able to reproduce very well.

But no matter what, Lin Chen still didn't know much about that place, so it was not impossible for him to follow the princess to hunt game. However, they all knew that if they wanted to go to the Jiangbei area, they would definitely bring a lot of people with them.

The only fear is that we might be intercepted on the road, or that we might be targeted by thieves in Jiangbei area, and then it would be hard to say what would happen.

So every time they went to the Jiangbei area, they had to bring tens of thousands of soldiers with them.

It's a form of defense, too.

Although Lin Chen thought so, he still listened carefully to what these ministers said.

"My Lady, we have a mission to complete on this trip to Jiangbei. There's been an epidemic in the Jiangbei area, and many people have died."

"This issue needs to be resolved urgently. Although wild game can still be eaten, the natural disasters suffered by the people over there may not be easily resolved."

What plague? Lin Chen was dumbfounded when he heard this. Why is this news getting more and more explosive? First, it was to eat game, and now it was to solve the plague situation over there.

At least he would have to call in many doctors. However, Lin Chen looked at his system space. He did have several medical books, so he could call them up and use them when the time came. But did the plague happen so suddenly? He asked in confusion, "Excuse me, everyone, how is the plague spreading in the Jiangbei area? Has it spread completely? If everyone is infected, wouldn't we be in trouble if we go there?"

The ministers shook their heads and said, "We only have a limited understanding. The soldiers over there sent back news that someone has been infected with the plague and is in urgent need of emergency treatment. We have to send some people over first."

"So this archery competition must be held after the plague is resolved, so the old emperor can go. Otherwise, if we just go there, there will be patients everywhere, and what should we do then?"

makes sense.

Lin Chen was overthinking it. He thought that holding a horse-riding and archery competition while treating the plague would be terrible.
