Chapter 189 The Lin family of three shared one coffin
Lin Wanwan tentatively said, "Big brother, I think we have to leave Pingyang Prefecture before dark. We can't wait any longer. Otherwise, we'll never be able to return to the capital."
She can't delay any longer!
All the things she had anticipated kept changing, and she was really panicking.
She was filled with resentment. It must be that bitch Shen Shuli who had snatched all the opportunities that belonged to her!
She couldn't let that person slip away again!
Otherwise, I will never be able to turn the tide!
As for Lin's father and mother?
Lin Wanwan didn't have much affection for them.
I guess I'm neither here nor there.
It's one thing if they can't help themselves.
But it must never become an obstacle to yourself!
Lin Jingchen knew about Lin Wanwan's abilities, but Lin Jingting did not.
Because Lin Jingting is still young and has an impulsive personality, it is not easy for him to keep things to himself.
Therefore, only Lin Jingchen knew.
Lin Jingting looked at Lin Wanwan with some dissatisfaction and said, "Sister, Father and Mother's injuries are quite serious. If they are not treated properly, there will be endless troubles. How can you be so inconsiderate of their injuries?"
"Besides, it's only a day later. How can we not be able to go back to the capital? Brother, I disagree. Let's wait until the doctor examines us tomorrow."
Lin Wanwan didn't say anything more, but she looked at Lin Jingchen with eyes full of grievance, fear, anxiety and unease, forcing him to make a decision.
Lin Jingchen understood Lin Wanwan's implication, and seeing that look in her eyes, he felt extremely guilty and heartbroken.
He didn't immediately express his opinion, but sat down at the table, drank a cup of tea, and calmed himself down.
Ultimately, he made a decision.
"Third brother, how about this, you call our family doctor to the clinic, let our doctor and the clinic staff have a good discussion about our parents' condition, clarify all the possible situations, and prepare enough medicine."
“We must leave before the city gates close. You need to be quick. Once you're done, take your parents directly to the city gate to meet up.”
This was the best solution Lin Jingchen could think of.
Lin Wanwan was quite pleased to see that her older brother still preferred to listen to her decision, but she was not foolish enough to reveal her emotions.
Lin Jingting never expected his older brother to act so recklessly.
But his older brother had already made up his mind, and he couldn't argue with him.
Fortunately, his elder brother took their parents' health into consideration, and he could barely accept this arrangement.
Before leaving, Lin Jingting glared at Lin Wanwan with displeasure before departing.
Lin Jingchen immediately ordered his servants to pack their belongings and prepare to leave the city.
Lin Wuchong had calmed down a bit.
His wife, Wu, was still in the room, hugging a pillow and calling Rui'er's name.
Lin Wuchong became anxious again when he heard his nephew's instructions to set off immediately.
His son hasn't even been settled yet, how can he just leave like this?
But there was only one coffin, and the nephew and his wife had already been put inside.
Suddenly.
Lin Wuchong came up with a solution.
If his nephew and niece-in-law can fit in one coffin, why can't his son also be temporarily put in one?
It's only temporary anyway; he'll be re-encoffined once we return to the capital.
But Lin Wuchong harbored a dark thought.
Her son passed away before he was even married.
It would be nice to have a woman by my side after I die.
Even if that person is the son's sister-in-law...
Lin Wuchong acted on his idea immediately, leading his guards to the backyard.
After dismissing all the servants guarding the coffin, Lin Wuchong immediately ordered the guards to put Lin Jingrui's body inside.
Finally, he completely sealed the coffin, burned some paper money for his son, and then left satisfied.
"You can't blame me, this was just a temporary measure..." Lin Wuchong muttered to himself.
The servants were very quick.
The entire process was completed in half an hour.
Lin Jingchen led his team to the city gate immediately.
Fortunately, the city gates were still open, but Lin Jingting had not yet arrived.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Lin Jingting arrived in a hurry with his parents and others.
In the midst of chaos.
Lin Jingchen and others did not discover that the third branch of the family did not carry Lin Jingrui's body.
The coffin was placed on a cart and pulled by two horses, and no one noticed that the coffin was unusually heavy.
Seeing that no one suspected anything.
Lin Wuchong wore a sinister, cunning smile the whole way, as if his scheme had succeeded.
On the way to Cangzhou Prefecture.
Lin Wanwan kept observing the refugees on both sides of the road, trying to find Madam Zhou.
Unfortunately, I never met him.
"Damn it!"
"Without Madam Zhou's connections, how can we possibly enter Cangzhou Prefecture!"
Lin Wanwan knew very well that Cangzhou Prefecture would not allow anyone to pass through.
This is an imperial decree, and the prefect dares not disobey it!
along the way.
Lin Wanwan was still unwilling to give up.
Thinking that Madam Zhou might not have been rescued and was still in the hands of the wicked people.
She kept urging the team to speed up their journey.
The journey, which would normally take three days, was completed by the Lin family in just two and a half days.
pity.
All of Lin Wanwan's hopes were shattered.
She couldn't even see Madam Zhou's figure.
As expected.
Cangzhou Prefecture strictly prohibits everyone from entering or leaving the city.
They even forbade ordinary people from approaching within ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) of the city gate.
The Lin family couldn't even send messages inside.
If anyone approaches the city gate, the guards will immediately fire arrows as a warning.
Traveling non-stop, Lin Wufeng's already serious injuries worsened several times, almost to the point of not being able to be saved.
The Lin family's doctor was quite skilled and had made various preparations in advance, narrowly saving Lin Wufeng's life.
However, Lin Wufeng was unable to recover properly from both of his serious injuries.
His once strong and robust body was damaged and collapsed without him realizing it.
This time.
The Lin family tried every possible method, but they were unable to enter the city.
Lin Jingchen could only have the team temporarily stop by the official road and slowly figure out a solution.
.
Cangzhou Prefecture.
The 140,000-strong Northern Barbarian army advanced with unstoppable momentum.
The offensive only slowed down after they fought their way from Hanshan Pass all the way to Cangzhou Prefecture.
There are three routes from the North to the capital.
Qinzhou, Dingzhou, and Yongzhou.
Qinzhou is half land and half water, with water transport being faster.
However, the other half of the road is narrow, only wide enough for one vehicle to pass at a time.
If there are vehicles or pedestrians coming from the opposite direction, it will be very troublesome, as it is difficult to give way, and once there is a traffic jam, it will waste a lot of time.
Dingzhou was the furthest point on the way to the capital, requiring a long and winding mountain road, which was not suitable for large-scale military marches.
Yongzhou is the best route from the northern border to the capital.
Not only are the roads wide, but it is also the closest to the capital. The only drawback is that bandits are rampant along the way.
The Northern Barbarian army was enormous, numbering as many as 140,000.
They didn't care about the bandits at all.
They even wiped out several mountain strongholds along the way, seizing a lot of grain and supplies, and using the mountain bandits as cannon fodder.
Upon arrival in Yongzhou.
The Northern Barbarian army expanded by 10,000, reaching a total size of 150,000.
The Qingzhou Prefecture army arrived in Yongzhou Prefecture two days earlier than the Northern Barbarian army.
Because Qingzhou and Yongzhou had a good relationship, and both the Yongzhou army and the prefect knew that the Northern Barbarian army would soon attack.
And there is a high probability that they will choose the route towards Yongzhou.
Only by merging the two armies can we better defend against the enemy.
After a brief negotiation, the two sides allowed the Qingzhou army into the city.
But the commander-in-chief of the Yongzhou army did not expect that Commander Chen of the Qingzhou army would betray him!
