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

As we walked further, the road became wider and wider, and we were approaching a mountainous area. We knew that there was still a long way to go in this area.

But at this moment they could only take one step at a time, after all, they didn't know much about the situation in Jiangbei area.

Lin Chen looked at the path that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was walking on and it seemed that he was taking a shortcut, but why did the forest in front of him look a little strange, as if the people in the forest had become blurred. Wait, why was there smoke coming out of the forest?

Could it be that someone seems to live here, but why can't I see anyone? There aren't even any houses, so where is this place?

Lin Chen looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask the soldiers behind him.

"Do you know where this place is? Why does it look a little unusual? And there's smoke here. Is there anyone living in it? But it's so deep in the mountains and old forests, there shouldn't be many people living here, right?"

"The transportation is inconvenient and there is no food. What are they doing here?" Lin Chen remained alert and led the team to explore the way forward. As a result, his soldiers said something surprising.

"There may be hunters here, and there may be wild beasts on the mountain. We should be quick when passing by, otherwise it will be troublesome if we are targeted by wild beasts."

"What? There are wild beasts here," Lin Chen's men started shouting. The prince's soldiers over there also heard it and were immediately horrified. The prince's soldiers even quickened their pace and rushed forward madly, shouting to the people behind them, "Hurry up, there may be wild beasts here."

"If we get eaten by wild beasts, we'll die. That's not good." As the prince rushed out, all his men rushed out.

Almost the entire prince's team was rushing forward frantically, as if they were afraid of seeing a wild beast. In fact, they were already frightened before they even saw the shadow of the beast. Although Lin Chen understood that he had spent a lot of time surveying the terrain, it was now somewhat useful.

Seeing the smoke here, he knew that there were hunters here, and he also knew that he had wild beasts, which seemed to be a big discovery.

As long as we can get through this journey safely in the end, that's enough.

Although Lin Chen's soldiers were shocked at this moment, they were actually panicked in their hearts. After all, they didn't want to die halfway.

Lin Chen could only accept this at this moment.

After all, no one knows when this road will no longer be accessible.

The soldiers around him looked at Lin Chen with some confusion, "But General, you don't look afraid at all. Do you think these beasts won't hurt you?"

Lin Chen thought, "I don't have the courage. I don't think the beast will hurt me. I just stay calm and don't let things disrupt me."

Lin Chen actually knew that these soldiers had followed him for such a long time, and they must have wanted to do as much as possible. After all, it is difficult to survive in this world.

If he still cared about what other people thought, it would be a real headache. Lin Chen no longer wanted to tell others about some things. After all, the prince's people were all scheming, and it was useless to talk too much to them. Lin Chen originally felt that he did not care much about what those people thought.

Some things gradually become distorted, as if what happens can swallow them up bit by bit.

Lin Chen just didn't want to get involved.

And no matter what the people in the court think, Lin Chen will stand on the side of the princess at this time, and the princess will also use all her heart and strength to protect them.

Although the princess's power is not as great as the prince's, she is also a powerful person. It's just that she is not as capable as the prince and does not have as many strategies.

Lin Chen thought the princess was a good person because of her upright and straightforward character.

Lin Chen knew that he had too many interactions with the princess, so in the end he had to negotiate with the prince.

No matter how the power in the court changes, they will always stand on the side of power, right?

Although it sounds a bit ridiculous, it is true when you think about it.

Lin Chen’s decision at this moment was to lead these soldiers to fight their way out.

"Soldiers! If there are wild beasts on the road ahead, be careful and don't get scared. After all, those beasts will rush towards people. If we really feel that the beasts are difficult to deal with, we can take out our long swords and spears to kill them. Killing the beasts will allow us to survive."

After hearing this, the soldiers looked at Lin Chen with some confusion, "But General Lin Chen, aren't you afraid? Why are you mentioning this beast again now?"

Lin Chen didn't know what to say, he just thought it was better to take precautions. If the beast was not caught, that would be good, but if it was caught, it would be hard to say.

Lin Chen also said something at this moment.

Even if the prince's men could notice it, Lin Chen had already made his plans.

So what? Lin Chen thought that since the news had already been released, these people would try to avoid it, so he didn't need to worry too much.

Lin Chen's soldiers saw that he was in a trance and looked at him with some reluctance. "But General, if you feel that what the Crown Prince did was wrong, we ask you to teach him a lesson. Don't be sad and upset alone, as this will slow down our progress."

The soldier spoke honestly and straightforwardly.

He said everything he wanted to say, and Lin Chen was a little amused and helpless after hearing it. "Are you concerned about me or are you making fun of me? Or are you blaming me for disturbing your walking?"

When Lin Chen asked this, the soldier stood there awkwardly, just staring into Lin Chen's eyes.

"But General Lin Chen used to be the most important general in our hearts, so we still hope that you can cheer up and not be defeated by this prince. His Royal Highness is just a rich and powerful man. I think he is not as good as you in other aspects."

Lin Chen became excited when he heard this. "What are you talking about? Do you think I'm different from ordinary people?"

Then the soldier said in a very low voice, "General Lin Chen, I think you are kinder than the prince."

Ah, really? Lin Chen hadn't heard these two words for a long time. It seemed that since he started working for the princess, he had actually done a lot of bad things, although they were cheating people, and the people they cheated were those powerful people.

But in fact, it also harms others.

Although no one was killed, it was expected that his hands would be stained with blood in the future, but Lin Chen did not say much about it.

Seeing the young soldier showing such concern for Lin Chen, Lin Chen also felt a little emotional and asked, "If you really think I'm unhappy, then why don't you go and help me scold the prince? That would make me feel better."

Lin Chen was joking, but the soldier looked at the prince in the distance with some seriousness, and even had the urge to rush over, but was stopped by Lin Chen. "I was just joking, don't really go over and scold him. If you get your head cut off, I don't want to bother with you anymore."
