You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 214 Truth, Suspicion

If it were before, Lin Zhaoyue would have told Lin Kaiji about her suspicions long ago, but now, she just digested Lin Kaiji's words and nodded slightly heavily:

"I didn't expect the Queen to..."

Lin Kaiji reached out and brushed the strands of hair on her forehead, then continued as she spoke:

"Who would have thought of this? But you don't have to worry about the affairs of the court. With my elder brother here, he will always protect you. Father is old, he just wants us to be safe."

Lin Kaiji took back his hand, looked at her soft and pale face, restrainedly took back his hand, and said:

“Life on the border may be hard, but at least it’s far away from the troubles of the capital.”

After saying this, he remembered something and said:

"I have something to do here later, so I won't be back until very late. After you finish this glass of goat milk, you can go back first."

When Lin Zhaoyue heard that Lin Kaiji was in trouble, she quickly said:

"Brother, what's the matter? Is it convenient for Zhaozhao to follow?"

Lin Kaiji's eyes darkened slightly, and he said:

"Brother, we have to go to the training later. There are men everywhere and they are all sweaty and smelly. I am afraid you can't stand it."

"It's alright, big brother. Let's go! Where are we going to train?"

As Lin Zhaoyue spoke, she drank the hot goat milk in her hand in one gulp, then stood up excitedly, looking very interested.

Lin Kaiji looked at her excited look and said helplessly:

"Zhao Zhao, stop making trouble and go home."

The more he said this, the more Lin Zhaoyue wanted to follow him:

"I'll just watch from the sidelines. I won't affect Big Brother's training."

Lin Kaiji couldn't persuade her, so he just said:

"If you feel bored later, just go back home."

"I know~"

Ling Su, who was waiting outside, was stunned when he saw the young master and the young lady come out at the same time.

Meeting Lin Kaiji's gaze, he nodded and quietly retreated.

Lin Kaiji took Lin Zhaoyue to the parade ground. When they arrived there, the soldiers were already waiting in line.

When everyone saw Lin Zhaoyue, they were very surprised. Although the second young lady had been in the military camp during this period, she had never been to the training ground.

Although they knew that the Second Young Miss would not be attracted to them, their competitive instinct made them unconsciously straighten their chests to make themselves look more sturdy and majestic.

Sensing the commotion below, Lin Kaiji frowned almost imperceptibly and brought Lin Zhaoyue to his temporary resting place.

It is called a resting place, but in fact it is just four poles with a piece of cloth hung on top for shade.

He said to Lin Zhaoyue:

"You wait here first."

Seeing Lin Zhaoyue nod obediently, Lin Kaiji took a spear and walked towards the command platform.

The autumn wind dances, the yellow sand flies, and the flags flutter.

The man was dressed in military uniform. When he opened his mouth, his voice echoed throughout the entire training ground.

The horn sounded, and the soldiers, armed with weapons, practiced in groups, stabbing and chopping.

The movements were neat, and every shot was fired with absolute force. Veins bulged on the foreheads of the soldiers.

Sweat was pouring down and the sound was deafening.

The last part is the real-life tactical training.

The soldiers were divided into two teams to conduct actual combat simulations.

Running, fighting, shouting, the messengers on both sides waved flags of different colors and commanded their troops.

Most of the soldiers, like her, have no internal strength. Every move they make is the result of years of practice.

Each move was full of power, but... the movements were too slow for Lin Zhaoyue at the moment...

The training didn't end until nightfall.

Everyone took their bowls and chopsticks and went to the barracks to get their meals in an orderly manner.

When Lin Zhaoyue saw Lin Kaiji coming, she diligently poured him a basin of water.

Lin Kaiji looked at Lin Zhaoyue and raised his eyebrows slightly. Did she want to ask him a favor?

Lin Kaiji raised his lips in a happy arc, pretending not to notice, and went to wash his face, and even praised him deliberately:

"Zhao Zhao has grown up and now knows how to care for his brother."

Lin Zhaoyue chuckled, waited for him to finish washing his face, and then moved a stool for him to rest.

"Brother, are your shoulders sore?"

Lin Kaiji took off his military uniform, moved his shoulders pretentiously, and said:

"It seems a bit sour."

Hearing this, Lin Zhaoyue immediately took advantage of the opportunity and said:

"Then I'll give Big Brother a massage."

The soft little hands and the fragrance of his daughter lingering on his nose, Lin Kaiji had a rare unrealistic thought: if he could have successfully taken her away two years ago, would she be doing the same now, massaging his shoulders when he was overworked?

Let her forget everything, he is the only one in her world...

Lin Zhaoyue didn't know what Lin Kaiji was thinking, but she was stunned for a moment when he grabbed her hand.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Lin Kaiji was enjoying it just now and didn't know when he grabbed Lin Zhaoyue's hand.

He just reacted very quickly and said:

"Don't press it. Tell me! What do you want to ask of me?"

Lin Zhaoyue withdrew her hand and said:

"Brother, how about you give me a hundred people and I'll practice with you!"

Lin Kaiji frowned and said:

"What are you practicing for?"

Lin Zhaoyue met Lin Kaiji's puzzled look, looked at him sincerely with her almond-shaped eyes, and began to talk nonsense:

"That's right. Wasn't I saved by a nobleman before? There I read a military book, and I think using the methods in it to train close combat will make me faster and more powerful."

Lin Kaiji frowned, as if he was thinking.

"Brother, I know some martial arts now, how about we spar with each other tomorrow?"

Lin Kaiji thought for a while and said:

"Okay, let's put it this way. I won't pick out these 100 people for you. If you can get someone to follow you willingly tomorrow, you can practice with them."

Lin Zhaoyue smiled happily upon hearing this and said:

"it is good."

Sometimes, the change of history may be just an inadvertent decision, just like a small butterfly flapping its wings inadvertently, but it can cause a tornado.

Seeing her happy smile, Lin Kaiji also smiled unconsciously and stood up and said:

"Let's go back home!"

In the evening, after dinner, when Lin Zhaoyue saw the servants starting to deliver hot water to her eldest brother's yard, she knew that Lin Kaiji was going to take a bath.

The bathroom and bedroom were separate. Lin Zhaoyue calculated the time and went there with a military book.

Ling Su was standing outside Lin Kaiji's bedroom. When he saw Lin Zhaoyue coming over, he stepped forward and said:

"Miss Lin, the young master is washing up. If you have anything to say, please tell me. I will report to him later."

Lin Zhaoyue held the military book in her hand and said:

"If big brother is washing up, I'll just wait in his room."

As she spoke, Lin Zhaoyue was about to go in. The person Ling Su feared the most in the Duke's Mansion was Lin Zhaoyue, because among the entire Lin family, only the Second Miss Lin had a different weight in the young master's heart. She had always been flamboyant and would do whatever she wanted. If she started to make trouble, he really would have no way to deal with her.

"Miss Lin, the young master is still taking a shower. Please wait for a moment, Miss Lin, wait for the young master..."

Before Ling Su could finish, a low male voice came:

"Let Zhao Zhao go in. Ling Su, you step back."

The bathroom was not far from the bedroom, so Lin Kaiji could hear their conversation clearly.

"Yes, son."

Ling Su responded, bowed to Lin Zhaoyue, and then left.

Lin Zhaoyue entered Lin Kaiji's bedroom. His room was decorated very simply.

A large carved bed, several calligraphy and paintings, and a sandalwood table in the middle.

She had already checked the study room before coming here and didn't find anything unusual.

If there is still no clue in the bedroom, then there are only two possibilities. One is that she was deceived by Xiao Yan again, and the other is that her eldest brother has another secret connection point in Beizhou City.

Lin Zhaoyue went in, placed the military book on the sandalwood table, glanced around, and quickly took off her embroidered shoes.

Paintings and calligraphy, cabinets, vases...there's no problem with anything.

She flashed to the large carved bed and carefully examined the quilt with her slender white hands. There were no seams and no foreign object sensation. She lifted the sheets and saw a box under the carved bed, which was joined together with mortise and tenon technology. It was well embedded in the carved bed and integrated with it. If she had not received special training, she would not have been able to detect it at all.
