Everyone in the yamen saw the leader of the soldiers kneel down and cry, and they were all stupefied. They could not believe what he had just shouted, but they all followed behind him and knelt down.

The entire hall was silent until Lin Yi turned around and sat in the middle of the hall.

"Why have you come here?" Lin Yi asked.

In fact, the leader of the soldiers was still swinging the token from his sleeve.

It was a five-clawed dragon medallion. As for the disciples from the nine great clans, the crown prince was a five-clawed dragon, and the vassal lords were four-clawed. This sort of common sense was extremely simple.

Carefully raising his head, he glanced at Lin Yi who had an extraordinary bearing and replied, "In reply to Your Highness, this official will follow the orders of the Ministry of Public Affairs to capture the remnants of the Su Family and bring them to justice."

When Lin Yi heard this, he fell into deep thought.

The Supreme Court official, Su Shao, was convicted a year ago of colluding with the enemy to sell out the country.

The official kneeling on the ground believed that Lin Yi was interested in this matter. Thus, he knelt and moved forward in an attempt to hand over the fugitive's portrait. He wanted to curry favor with Lin Yi, but at least he could atone for his actions.

Unexpectedly, when they were just one zhang away from Lin Yi, he was forced to retreat. "Quickly take your people and leave Wu City. Go and capture them elsewhere."

"Your Highness, this …" [Is the Crown Prince trying to protect someone?]

"What? Your Highness's words are useless in front of you?" Bao Xuansheng asked in a timely manner.

How could that soldier withstand such threats? Afraid that he would lose his life, he answered yes immediately and led the group of soldiers out of the yamen in a brisk pace, leaving Wu City in a hurry.

When the King, who had been observing the situation from the back of the yamen, heard this, most of the worry in his heart disappeared. He immediately rushed to the back courtyard to explain to Su Mu the current situation.

Waiting until everyone had retreated, Lin Yi slowly opened up the fan in his hand. He stared at the white fan in front of him and was lost in thought. After pondering for a moment, he said word by word, "It seems like your Brother Su and Brother Wang has quite the background."

That night, Bao Fu Yun went to visit Su Mu's residence in the backyard.

"Brother Su, are you feeling better?" Bao Fusheng asked gently.

At this moment, Su Mu had just stood up and used the medicine. It was unknown whether his face had turned red from the medicine or if it was the best medicine. His pale face finally had a hint of redness, and through the candlelight, it added a hint of brilliance.

Su Mu faintly nodded towards Bao Fu Cheng and took the initiative to ask, "It's much better now. I wonder how the soldiers who were chasing after us today are doing?"

"I dismissed him. Why did Brother Su suddenly ask about this?" A kind smile was always hanging on Bao Fu Cheng's face.

Su Mu looked solemnly at Bao Fusheng and said sincerely, "Brother Lin, to be honest, these pursuers are here to hunt us down."

Although they had discussed it in front of the hall today, Bao Fu Cheng did not expect Su Mu to be so frank. He couldn't help but be slightly surprised, "Oh, Brother Su, why do you say that?"

"Wang Yu and I are not blood brothers, but our friendship is deep, and we became sworn brothers. He was originally the son of Su Shao, a grand official of the capital's original justice courts, and his father was originally Su Shao's distant cousin. We never thought that the Su Family would be the culprit, even the Nine Clans and the two of us would be affected, so we formed a knot and fled, mutually supporting each other. " Su Mu slowly explained.

He felt that Su Mu's words were strange, but they matched up with the truth. He comforted, "Since that's the case, Brother Su need not worry about it in the future. With me and Jing Ting here, we will not let the soldiers casually take you away."

Su Mufu thanked him and Bao Fu Yun reached out to support him, "Brother Su, there is no need for formalities. It is best for you to rest well and recuperate your body."

Then, he said, "Jing Ting just told me to stay in Wu City for a few more days until the new county magistrate takes over. He even instructed Brother Su to take care of your health." The last sentence was naturally added by Bao Fu himself, but it was indeed Lin Yi who agreed to stay in Wu City for a few more days. As for what kind of medicine he was trying to sell, no one knew.

Shortly after Baofu left, Wang Lin entered the house from the next room.

His tall and straight body seemed to be a little tired, and he impatiently asked, "How is it? Did he believe it? "

"How many people can completely believe something so coincidental, it's just finding an excuse to let the two of them protect us as we leave." A faint smile appeared on Su Mu's face. His entire face was covered by the glow of the candle flame. There was an indescribable tenderness and small amount of affection.

Wang Dong was confused, "Then will they still do their best to protect us?"

"I don't know. Just wait."

Inside Lin Yi's room.

Bao Fusheng had just received an explanation from Su Mu and hurried over to discuss the matter with him, "Brother Su said so. Your Highness feels that it's true."

"What do you think?" When the bag floated into the air, Lin Yi had already finished bathing and changing his clothes. The strands of hair that had been tied up in the daytime were all draped over his shoulders. His well-defined face was also softened.

Hearing that Lin Yi was once again fighting with him over Tai Chi, Bao Fusheng had also put on a clever front this time, "This subordinate does not know, please dispel my doubts, Your Highness." With a humble and studious expression on his face.

Lin Yi opened her phoenix eyes with a smile on her face, "I think you're afraid of being scolded, you don't dare to say."

"Then let me tell you, I don't care what that Brother Su said. I don't care if what he said is true or false. I only care whether he is useful to me."

"What does Your Highness mean?" As he said this, the floating bag became blurry.

Lin Yi sat up straight from the chair, looking at Bao Fusheng with disdain, "Meaning, he has talent and strategy, and is the talent I need. No matter what he did in the beginning, as long as it doesn't affect my interests, I can take him under my wing and deal with those old guys in the imperial court who only eat human bones."

As he spoke to here, Bao Fu Cheng finally came to a realization. A trace of mischievous enlightenment flashed across the corner of his eyes.

The Emperor had said that for the Crown Prince Lin Yi to travel all over the country, not only would it expand his horizons, it was also to prevent serious political conflicts in the imperial court from harming Lin Yi. It wasn't like the Emperor was spoiling his son. He was just afraid that some scheming and scheming people would covet the benefits of this situation.

In a great dynasty, the only thing that could cause it to collapse was never the chaos and riots in the outside world. Instead, it was its internal tangled roots. Once it broke out from the roots, it would automatically perish without any external help.

Thus, Lin Yi's other goal during his travels was to recruit sages and establish his own root system to replace those old fellows who were on the verge of rotting. However, it was extremely rare to move flowers and trees, so he needed the help of someone who was resourceful enough to do it well.

Su Mu was the only sage with outstanding talent whom Lin Yi had found in many different places.

Thus, when Lin Yi had promised to protect him, he had not worried about his past anymore.

The morning sun had risen from the east, but there was still a place where the sun could not reach the land, waiting for the coming of the Savior.
