Chapter 682 It’s too late to regret

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, sprinkling on the bluestone path, as if every step is stepping on the ripples of time.

"Noel?"

Lin Qingzhou looked at Lin Nuoer in surprise.

Her figure looked particularly soft in the sunlight, as if time had slowed down at this moment.

Lin Qingzhou felt mixed emotions, the joy of reuniting after a long separation and the anxiety of not knowing the truth.

He cleared his throat and tried to make his voice sound natural.

"Hey, Nuo'er, long time no see. Are you going further and further down the path of a flower thief?"

Lin Nuoer looked up and saw that it was them. A bright smile broke out on her face, and that smile seemed to be able to melt all the frost in an instant.

"Brother, you are finally here! I thought you were scared by the Emperor's shadow guards and didn't dare to come!"

Lin Qingzhou immediately put on a brave and fearless attitude.

"You must be joking! Who am I but the best trump card in the hands of His Royal Highness Prince Chen? Now the emperor wants to recruit me even in his dreams!"

Lin Nuoer was amused and giggled. She stood up and walked towards them.

"Okay, no more jokes. I have something important to tell you."

The two of them sat under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village that had witnessed countless storms.

Lin Nuoer gently smoothed her hair that was messed up by the breeze and began her "Palace Secrets Revealing Conference".

"Brother, guess what? The old emperor actually didn't intend to kill me at all. He was using me as bait to catch the big fish like you!"

Lin Nuo'er gestured as she spoke, as if she was telling a story, and Lin Qingzhou almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Fishing me? Am I, Lin Qingzhou, so easy to fish for? Does he think I'm a stupid fish in the river?"

Lin Qingzhou grumbled in a pretended angry manner, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Not only that, he is also thinking about the Shenying Army in your hands. He said that he wants to use you as a breakthrough point to recruit all of Ling Chenyu's former subordinates."

Lin Nuoer continued to reveal more information with a helpless smile on her face.

"Recruit? He's dreaming! We in the Shenying Army are loyal soldiers who are always changing. Besides, although Ling Chenyu has ascended, his spirit is still there. How could we betray him so easily?"

Lin Qingzhou said seriously, but then he couldn't help but add, "Unless he drops a gold brick from the sky, oh no, a gold mountain, then I can consider it."

Lin Nuoer was so amused that she bent forward and backward. She finally stopped laughing and continued talking.

"Also, the old emperor has set his sights on our Lin family's heirloom—the elixir that can instantly restore a person to full health. So, this gives me a chance to 'atone for my sins'."

"Atoning for his sins? Does he want to use our Lin family as hostages?"

Lin Qingzhou looked stunned, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Yes, and we have to help him recapture the seven border cities occupied by Ling Chenyu."

After Lin Nuoer finished speaking, she sighed softly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Lin Qingzhou was silent for a while, his brows furrowed.

He had mixed feelings. On the one hand, he couldn't give up his loyalty to Ling Chenyu, but on the other hand, he had to face the reality of the dilemma.

Most of Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao's former subordinates claimed to be kings, each with his own city, and then inexplicably united together.

If the personal guards around Ling Chenyu, such as Leng Feng, Leng Ying or Su Wenxin, stepped forward and called for action, this group of people would become united again.

Therefore, the Shenying Army is a major concern for the Yun Kingdom, the Ling Kingdom, and even the Cheng Kingdom.

Unfortunately, Yun State and Ling State were unable to do anything with this scattered army for the time being, so they had to think of some crooked ways.

For example, disintegrate them one by one from within.

Lin Nuoer persuaded gently, trying to untie the knot in Lin Qingzhou's heart.

"Humph, those guys are so ambitious, how can they be dealt with so easily? However, since the old emperor wants to play this trick, then we will play along with him. However, I, Lin Qingzhou, always have my own principles in doing things, and I will never betray them easily!"

There was a flash of determination in Lin Qingzhou's eyes, and his tone was firm.

"Yes, we can't betray easily, but we can't just sit there and wait for death. We can use this opportunity to secretly investigate Ling Chenyu's whereabouts. At the same time, we can also take the opportunity to weaken those separatist forces and prepare for the future."

Lin Nuoer's eyes lit up and she came up with a bold plan.

The two looked at each other, with tacit understanding and determination flashing in their eyes.

They know that this road will be full of thorns and challenges, but as long as they have faith in their hearts, nothing can stop them from moving forward.

In the following days, Lin Qingzhou and Lin Nuoer began to act in secret.

On the one hand, they cooperated with the emperor's "recruitment plan" on the surface, and on the other hand, they secretly investigated the whereabouts of Ling Chenyu, while looking for opportunities to weaken those separatist forces.

In the process of searching for Ling Chenyu's whereabouts and the mysterious power, Lin Qingzhou and Lin Nuoer met many strange people.

There are old Taoist priests who are proficient in Qimen Dunjia, a mysterious witch who can predict the future, and martial arts masters hiding in the deep mountains and forests.

In fact, this group of people came out because of Lin Nuoer's identity as Ling Chenyu's concubine.

It’s just that these people have high aspirations. If the current emperor wasn’t so vicious and cruel, they wouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess.

However, after following Lin Qingzhou and Lin Nuoer for a while, this group of people discovered that the two did not have much connection with Ling Chenyu and had become disloyal.

"I say, did we make a mistake?" The old Taoist priest finally couldn't help but speak, "These two people don't seem to have anything to do with Ling Chenyu, are we wasting our time?"

"That's right. I thought I could get a job by following the concubine. Now it seems that this dream is going to be shattered." The witch also sighed, looking a little disappointed.

The martial arts master looked disdainful: "Humph, even if it doesn't matter, so what? Among us, everyone has unique skills. Are you afraid that you can't find a way out?"

Lin Nuo'er had no idea of ​​their thoughts until this group of people joined Leng Feng, and then it was too late for her to regret.
