Thinking of what happened back then, Xuanyuan Ke gritted his teeth angrily.

If it weren't for the cliques in the court, my uncle would not have been forced to leave the capital.

The relationship between the imperial grandmother and the emperor's father would not be that bad, and there would not be such conflicts between father and son that cannot be reconciled.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Ke's eyes turned red.

"Uncle, Lin County is in danger, you must not go there."

It was impossible for Xuanyuan Ke to watch his brother-in-law take risks.

When he went to Linxian before, the flood in Linxian did not happen. He only learned the number of casualties from the secret guards.

But now that the flood in Linxian County broke out, how could he let King Ling take this risk?

It would be fine if nothing happened, but if something happened, how would he report it to his father?

Besides, the situation in Linxian County was complicated. If he guessed correctly, many people in the court might be involved.

If someone finds out that my uncle is in Lin County and even infringes on their interests, I am afraid they will really attack my uncle.

He had long seen that those ambitious people in the court were not peaceful.

They were making a fuss when General Wang returned to Beijing after being injured.If it weren't for their father's pressure, they would have gone to the border to negotiate peace with the foreigners.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Ke suddenly felt a little ironic.

All of them claimed to be loyal ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but when the Great Zhou Dynasty was in crisis, they all seemed to have gone weak and took the initiative to seek peace.

However, they are weak against foreign enemies, but very powerful against their own people.

If King Ling went to Linxian this time and disturbed the interests of some people, he might be impeached.

King Ling knew that the danger Xuanyuan Ke mentioned was not only the danger of flooding in Linxian County.

He stepped forward and patted Xuanyuan Ke's shoulder, whispering comfort.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Xuanyuan Ke was a little anxious, "Uncle..."

Prince Ling sighed, "Okay, some things have to be done by someone."

"In that case, let others go."

Xuanyuan Ke didn't dare to think about what would happen to the Queen Mother and the Emperor if there was something wrong with Prince Ling.

King Ling was helpless. He knew that his nephew was stubborn when he was a child, but he didn't expect that he would be so difficult to persuade.

"Do you think it would be useful for others to go?"

Hearing King Ling's inquiry, Xuanyuan Ke did not answer for a while.

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that just letting an ordinary person go to Linxian was not enough.

How can a local snake that has taken over Linxian County so easily be eliminated so easily?

"Don't worry, I'm just taking people to Linxian to have a look. Even if I have to do something, I will write to you."

When Xuanyuan Ke heard this, his complexion became better.

King Ling turned around and saw Zhang Siyuan and Pei Yuan looking at him, and sighed helplessly.

"Although I have no official position now, I am still a prince, right?"

"If those people really dare to attack me, they are acting against the royal family and treason."

When everyone heard this, they were speechless for a moment.

Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that King Ling is right.

That's all for others, but King Ling is still a member of the royal family.

Even if the ministers in the court want to criticize him, they may not be able to do so.

After all, Prince Ling has no official position, he is just a member of the royal family.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is most appropriate for Prince Ling to do this.

After a long while, Xuanyuan Ke sighed.

"In this case, please remember to be careful when I go to Linxian."

Xuanyuan Ke had been to Linxian once before, but he took Zheng Jinyu with him at that time, and there were some things that were difficult to do, and he was worried that Zheng Jinyu would be in danger.

But King Ling was different. If he went alone and saw what happened in Lin County, Paye would not stand idly by.

"I know, your brother-in-law, can I still put myself in danger?"

Although Xuanyuan Ke knew that King Ling was not the kind of person who could not see the situation clearly, there was always a chance.

"I'll ask Chuanyi and the others to follow you."

Prince Ling raised his eyebrows, he did not expect that Xuanyuan Ke actually planned to hand over all his secret guards to him.

Prince Ling patted him on the shoulder, "Your father left Chuan Yi to you, you can keep it for yourself."

"Uncle, what should you do?"

Looking at King Ling's expression, Xuanyuan Ke guessed that King Ling would not let Chuanyi and the others follow.

But he was not at ease even if King Ling took a young man to Linxian.

Prince Ling looked at Xuanyuan Ke's expression and understood what he was thinking.

"If you are really worried, take away some of the guards you left at Jishi Hall."

Xuanyuan Ke nodded immediately, "Uncle, I can choose the candidates myself. You can go with them all."

Prince Ling had no choice but to say, "I planned to drive lightly on this journey. How can I do anything if I bring all your guards with me?"

Xuanyuan Ke was speechless when asked, but he had to nod in response.

Zhang Siyuan looked at King Ling with worry. Now the foreigners on the border may invade the Great Zhou Dynasty at any time.

And there are people in the court who have joined forces with the foreigners and secretly colluded with the local gentry and landlords. If they cannot escape in time, they may not be able to protect themselves.

Zhang Siyuan actually didn't want King Ling to investigate Linxian's affairs at this time, but when he heard the shocking number of casualties today, he couldn't sit still.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ling, why don't you let Pei Yuan go with you so that you can take care of me?"

Zhang Siyuan's words made Pei Yuan and King Ling a little stunned. Neither of them expected Zhang Siyuan to speak suddenly.

"Brother, this won't work. If I leave, what will you do..."

Pei Yuan was able to stay in the Zhang family for so long because of Zhang Siyuan.

Xuanyuan Ke is a master who cannot be controlled, and Zhang Siyuan has difficulty moving. If he leaves, Zhang Siyuan may not even have anyone to help him.

Prince Ling on the side also nodded, "Pei Yuan wants to stay with you. Since I have brought my guards, I don't have to worry about those people doing anything to me."

Zhang Siyuan shook his head, "Now, both Qingshui County and Xiaozhangzhuang are like copper and iron walls. If nothing else happens, the county government and the city defenders will be stationed here in a while."

Zhang Siyuan's words made everyone in the room stunned for a moment, with some doubts and confusion in their expressions.

In the end, Pei Yuan spoke first.

"Brother, you are confused. The people from the county government only patrol the county government office, and the city defenders only guard Qingshui County. How could they come to this little Zhangzhuang?"

Zhang Siyuan was very calm after hearing Pei Yuan's inquiry.

"There is a pier here in Xiaozhangzhuang. If something happens, the pier outside Qingshui County cannot be used. This pier will become the only waterway in Qingshui County. If you want to go to Qingshui County, this is the most convenient place."

Zhang Siyuan's words reminded everyone of the foreigners who had been stopped outside Qingshui County.
