Chapter 1247 The Talismans Are All Burned
After Lord Chen said this, Lin Rong also frowned.
He was originally hesitant about whether to speak out about this matter, but now Chen Deshan told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince without even thinking about it.
It would seem wrong for him not to say anything.
"Your Highness, I was also near the city gate at the time, and the amulet on my body was burned to ashes for no reason."
The prince was stunned for a moment, and his expression became a little serious.
In fact, he received quite a few secret letters this year.
The prince knew what happened to the emperor's uncle and Miss Lu in the southwest and Subei, and how they escaped from danger, so he now has a great understanding of Lu Zhaoling's abilities.
In fact, he had already deployed spies to investigate the happenings in the capital.
He also knew that Lu Zhaoling had given someone a talisman before leaving Beijing.
"What did you do?" he asked.
Lord Chen was also surprised that Lin Rong's amulet was also burned. He glanced at Lin Rong, and when he heard the prince's question, he quickly shook his head.
"No, the barbarians are small and we don't need to take them seriously. But after all, they are guests. I know my limits. I just looked at them and did nothing."
"So do I," said Lin Rong.
"After the talisman was burned, did anything bad happen to you?"
Lin and Chen looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
"Nothing happened. I have a lucky charm on me."
Lord Chen said bitterly, "It's nothing, but I feel very uneasy without my amulet. I have been struggling these days and wondering whether I should borrow the amulet I gave to my son first."
puff.
The prince and Lin Rong almost couldn't help but spit out their wine.
Borrow the talisman from his son?
"My son likes quietness. He rarely goes out except for studying. But I have to go out all day long, so I should need it more than him."
What Lord Chen didn't say was that he suspected that he had misunderstood Miss Lu's meaning at the beginning. Miss Lu shouldn't have given each of their families an amulet. Those three should have been for him, right?
"Has Lord Chen ever thought of borrowing the talisman from Madam Chen?" The prince was simply curious.
"My wife often goes out to visit cosmetics shops. She also needs it." Lord Chen said as a matter of course.
Lin Rong didn't even want to point it out. Didn't Master Chen also have to go back and forth from the academy every day? How could he not go out?
However, if Chen Deshan did not have the good character of cherishing his wife, Lin Rong would really look down on him.
(Of course, Chen Deshan seems to be more pleasing to the eye in the past two years, like a Jingzhao prefect who gets things done.)
The prince was also stagnant.
"After I lost the amulet, I was a little nervous, but at least nothing happened recently."
Lord Chen returned to the main topic, "Prince Jin and Miss Lu will be returning to the capital soon. I will patrol the city carefully so that nothing will go wrong when they get married."
This was the purpose of his recent thorough patrols of the city.
Miss Lu is getting married soon!
Shouldn't he keep a close eye on the security of the capital?
He will keep a close eye on any hooligans, bad beggars, and people who have committed crimes. When Miss Lu's wedding sedan passes by, he will never let those people get close.
No matter who you are, don't try to ruin Miss Lu's marriage.
Also, he has been keeping a close eye on it recently because he doesn't want to see any murders or the like, so as not to cause trouble for Miss Lu.
How can such a happy event be tainted with bad luck?
It’s a pity that he is not a member of the Xuanmen sect, otherwise, he would be the first to deal with anything unlucky or ominous on the main streets of the entire capital, or if any shop has the wrong items on display.
"I heard something recently."
The prince changed the subject and talked about one of the reasons why he left the palace today.
He had actually known about Chen Deshan's patrol of the city for a long time, and Lin Rong had also analyzed with him the purpose of Chen Deshan's activeness. When the prince first heard it, he was a little skeptical, but now that he heard Chen Deshan say it himself, he finally believed it.
"In the past half month, several groups of people have poured into the capital. There are monks, people from the Xuanmen sect, and some people whose identities are unknown. But once they entered the capital, they walked around the city, as if they were looking for something."
The prince actually came out today for this matter.
In fact, someone had already reported this matter to the emperor.
Some people also mentioned it during the morning court session, but those led by Prime Minister Shen speculated that this was not surprising. The Prince of Jin was about to get married, and the capital city would definitely be more lively than it had been in many years. These people also wanted to go to the capital to join in the fun.
Another point is that the barbarian envoys came to the capital, and everyone wanted to see what the barbarians were like.
Moreover, in the past year, news about the First Xuanmen has gradually reached the ears of the people, so it is not surprising that these people also want to come to Beijing to inquire about it.
"Father thinks there is no need to pay attention to it. I want to know what you think."
Lin Rong said in a deep voice, "I just came back from the manor outside Beijing today. Four groups of passers-by have stayed at Sun Ping's manor."
He was in a hurry today because he went to the village to investigate and rushed back and forth.
After receiving the letter from the prince, he hurried to the tavern.
"Sun Ping?" Upon hearing this, the prince thought about this person carefully.
Lin Rong explained to him about Sun Ping.
The prince nodded after hearing this.
"In that case, this is indeed a bit strange."
"Not only did they stay at the Sun family's farm, they also found an excuse to go to his pear garden and see the pear blossoms."
So they went to Lishan.
The prince also knew about the evil incident between Li Shan and Zhuangzi, and the capture of Sheng Wang.
The prince had his own secret guards investigating this information. Zhou Shiyue actually knew about it, but he did not stop them.
The prince was allowed to know this tacitly.
The prince will sit on that position in the future. If he doesn't have these means and these people, it will be useless for him to sit on it, and he will be pulled down sooner or later.
Lord Chen was shocked when he heard Lin Rong's words.
His focus was on the capital, and he had no idea that these things were happening in Li Shan and Sun Ping's manor.
Now hearing this, he became nervous.
"Are those people some evil sect? Why are there so many strange people here all of a sudden?"
"You all need to be more vigilant recently."
The prince said in a deep voice, "Keep an eye on these suspicious people, but don't alert them. It's best to write down where they live, how many people there are, what their characteristics are, what they do every day, and where they go."
"The barbarians have also asked my father to attend the wedding of my uncle, so before that they will stay in the small palace as honored guests. Lin Rong, you should also send more people to keep an eye on them, but be sure not to get too close."
Lin Rong and Chen Deshan responded in unison.
"I still have to go to Huai Garden."
"Your Highness, may I go with you?" Lord Chen said quickly.
"No need."
