You are my golden finger

Chapter 117 Heading to Kyoto (2)

Lin Xijin secretly felt lucky that the children had learned Kung Fu from her for four years and often took some advanced pills. Regardless of how great their Kung Fu was, at least they were agile and had no problem escaping.

Even people like Nanny and Qiuyan were not panicked when faced with such a thing.

Lin Xijin checked the injured man's condition and found that his breathing was relatively stable. His condition was finally under control and he would probably wake up tomorrow.

The group didn't want to find an inn to rest, so they just got on the bus and set off. Fortunately, the road was paved with cement, wide and smooth, and glowed coldly under the moonlight. It was not difficult to walk at night, and there were not many people on the road, so it was smoother.

The rest of the journey was smooth and there were no more problems.

While resting on the road, Lin Dong told Lin Xijin that the injured man had woken up. Lin Xijin went over to take his pulse and checked him out, confirming that the man had been saved. Except for the fact that he could not move on his own, there was nothing serious.

She fed him spiritual spring water again, gave him detoxification pills, and handed him over to Lin Dong's care. Lin Xijin no longer cared about him.

The man just said two words to her, "Thank you" and said no more. It seemed that he was another aloof guy.

After five days on the road, we finally arrived at the gate of Kyoto in the evening.

With clouds all over the sky as the backdrop, the orange-red sunset shines on the towering towers and ancient city walls, creating a majestic picture that fills the viewer with awe.

Murong Xu and his personal guards had already been waiting at the city gate.

"This old servant greets the prince!" When Eunuch Gao saw the prince coming to greet him, he hurriedly got off the carriage and said, "This old servant has fulfilled his mission and escorted the princess to the capital safely."

"Eunuch Gao, please don't be so polite." Murong Xu said as he walked past him and headed towards Lin Xijin's carriage behind.

"Jin'er, you must have worked hard on the journey!" Murong Xu lifted the car curtain and said to Lin Xijin.

"Brother Xu!" An An reacted the fastest.

"Brother Xu, we are here too!" Several little girls greeted him.

Xihui, Xinfeng and others heard the voice and came over to greet.

"Let's go back home first. Rest for a night and then go to the palace tomorrow." Murong Xu did not let Lin Xijin get off the car. After exchanging a few words of greeting, the group set off to return to the Princess's Mansion.

Eunuch Gao personally escorted the convoy, his personal guards cleared the way, and the prince rode a tall horse in front of the convoy. This kind of display had never happened in Kyoto before. It immediately attracted the attention of people on both sides of the road, wondering who had such a great honor.

No matter what outsiders speculated, the group of people went straight to the Princess's Mansion without looking around.

The Princess Mansion is still the original Lady Princess Mansion, but the plaque on the door has been changed. It is replaced with three large characters "Princess Mansion" written by the emperor, with silver outlines and iron paintings, which is extraordinary.

After returning to the mansion, Murong Xu sent away the guards. Eunuch Gao also breathed a sigh of relief, and with a smile he pulled the four carts of gifts given by Lin Xijin back to the palace to report to the emperor. Of course, the gifts were for the emperor, the empress dowager, and the queen. It was self-evident who the remaining cart belonged to.

The several seal carving masters were originally the people Murong Xu had found in Kyoto. They also returned home with the gifts prepared by Lin Xijin for them.

The whole family, along with Li Yuxuan, Xingcheng and a few other kids, got off the carriage and walked towards the mansion with a relaxed look on their faces.

But when Lin Dong and the others carried the injured man down, Murong Xu saw the handsome face of the man and his face immediately darkened. Fortunately, his usual persona was that of a cold-faced prince who kept strangers away, so no one could tell that he was jealous.

Lin Xijin was keenly aware of the change in his aura and secretly laughed in her heart. However, she was exhausted from the long journey and was too lazy to comfort him, so she just let him be jealous!

After dinner, Murong Xu pretended to say goodbye, but he went back to Lin Xijin's study. What a joke, it's been a long time since we last met, and I miss her so much, how could I leave like this, especially when there is a potential competitor who comes from nowhere!

After settling everyone, Lin Xijin returned to the yard. Murong Xu had come out upon hearing her voice. He grabbed her hand, led her into the study, picked up the petite girl and sat down on the sofa together.

"Have you redecorated the house?" Lin Xijin asked Murong Xu, using a declarative sentence.

"Tell me the truth, who is that man?" Murong Xu did not answer her question.

"Which one? How should I know who you are referring to among so many men?" Lin Xijin pretended not to know who Murong Xu was asking about.

"Are you being naughty? The man that Lin Dong and the others carried down from the carriage!" Murong Xu gently pinched her face. Her skin was white and delicate, and it felt really good.

"Oh, I found it on the road, I don't recognize it!"

"Really don't know him?" Murong Xu asked again.

Lin Xijin stopped teasing him, but she was still happy to see that he cared about her. She took him into the space and soaked herself in the spiritual spring pool, feeling a little tired. Murong Xu naturally followed suit.

She recounted every detail of what happened along the way.

Murong Xu had already received the news sent back by An Yi and the others, but he still listened patiently, frowning from time to time. It seemed that some people were unwilling to live long enough.

"This is what happened. I really don't know who that man is. But out of my professional instinct as a doctor, I can't just stand by and watch him die. The worst that can happen is if I find out later that he's a bad guy, I can just kill him." Lin Xijin made a gesture of wiping his neck.

After hearing her say this, Murong Xu suppressed the sour feeling in his heart.

"The imperial decree granting the marriage will be announced in the palace tomorrow." Murong Xu still leaked the news in advance.

"Can you ask your father the emperor to hold the imperial decree for now? We are not in a hurry to get married. It is easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. Look, we have already encountered so many troubles before the imperial decree is issued. Let's wait until Xihui and the others grow up a little bit, have better kung fu and are able to protect themselves, and then we can talk about it when we are going to get married."

Although Murong Xu was not very happy in his heart and wanted to leave his own mark on her immediately, he thought that Lin Xijin's worries were not unreasonable.

Alas, I have to bear all the pressure by myself! No matter what those court officials say, they have been saying it for so long, I am used to it.

"Okay then, I'll go to court first tomorrow and tell the old man. Then you can bring Xihui and the others to the palace to express our gratitude at 9:00 p.m." Murong Xu finally compromised.

In order to let Lin Xijin rest earlier, Murong Xu left before midnight although he was reluctant.

"An Er, investigate for me. Make sure to get to the bottom of this and find out who has the guts to attack my people." Murong Xu ordered his men.

"Yes, master." An Er took the order and left.
