The Her Highness Luan Yi mentioned was Murong Yun's biological mother, Her Highness the Eldest Princess, and the Luan Order was the token that commanded the three thousand Luan Guards. Unexpectedly, it was also the token that would be used to contact Long Chuan.
"Xiao Cui, go get it."
This thing is more important, even the original owner cannot carry it with her. After all, in this place where communication is inconvenient, if it is stolen by someone with intentions, it can cause trouble.
"Yes."
Xiao Cui nodded and took the order to go to the inner room where Murong Yun specially placed clothes and jewelry. Among the many hidden compartments, he took out a wooden box as big as a palm.
Murong Yun took it and opened it. Among it was a Luan bird pendant with clear and warm blue water. She dipped the front with bright red ink pad and covered it with the inscription, printing a beautiful luan bird totem.
After that, Murong Yun personally took the wet silk handkerchief from Li Yunjin's hand, wiped it clean before putting it back.
Murong Yun did not ask anyone from the Princess's Mansion to deliver this letter, but asked Luan Yi to choose a Luan Guard to deliver it.
In addition, she remembered something again and gave Luan Yi a few more instructions.
Long Chuan County is not that close to Liujing, so Luan guards worked hard for seven days before delivering the letter to Donglin City in Longchuan County, where Linyuan County Headquarters is located.
Donglin City is the largest city in Long Chuan County and the most prosperous place in Long Chuan County.
The governor of the county, Lin Yuan, was born into a wealthy family in the late Southern Chu Dynasty. He was the only direct bloodline left in the Lin family.
Logically speaking, he should try his best to revitalize the family, but this county guard has never left Donglin City since he took up the post of county guard twenty years ago.
Donglin City is built along the coast, and the buildings are lined up row upon row, from high to low. Especially at night, when thousands of lights are lit, this sea city is at its most beautiful.
However, because it is close to the sea, the city is subject to cold and humid sea breezes all year round, especially in winter, when the cold winds are severe.
The County Mansion is built on the highest point of the sea cliff. From the tallest seven-story lighthouse in the mansion, you can have a panoramic view of the entire sea city.
What Governor Lin Yuan loves most is to climb a tall building alone in his spare time and stare at the lights in a daze.
When the steward of the house delivered the urgent message that had been rushed from Liujing, Lin Yuan was standing on the railing, and the cold sea breeze blew his robe.
If it were an ordinary person, blowing at this height for a day would probably lead to a stroke.
But Lin Yuan was different, he was a powerful spiritual cultivator.
The tall and straight figure remained motionless in the cold wind. Through the luminous pearls under the eaves, the steward could clearly see the clear-cut features of his master.
The long eyelashes revealed silhouettes under her eyes. Her skin color was unusually pale, but her lips were rather bright red. The huge contrast added a powerful impact to Lin Yuan's beauty.
Since the County Governor took office, the number of women in the city has increased. No other reason than that the Governor has not married a wife or concubine in twenty years.
The women in the city all thought that they would be the lucky one next moment. As a result, for twenty years, no woman could touch a hair of the county governor.
The steward looked at Lin Yuan's side face and felt a little distracted for a moment, until Lin Yuan turned around, frowned his long eyebrows, and his slightly long eyes were filled with displeasure.
This directly brought the steward back to his senses. He had been serving Lin Yuan for a long time and immediately understood that Lin Yuan especially liked to be alone and was always thinking... or missing someone.
During this period, he hated being disturbed the most.
But the steward knew that this news would definitely make the other party feel better.
"Sir, there is a letter from the little princess of Liujing..."
Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, Governor Lin Yuan's expression softened immediately, and even the aura around him that could rival the cold wind weakened.
Even the eyes that were emotionless before, as if they were frozen, had some emotions that humans should have.
Seeing this, the steward quickly presented the letter with both hands.
Lin Yuan took the letter, and ice-blue spiritual power slid across his fingertips. He opened the seal and took out the thin paper with handwriting that was not eye-catching.
Different from the few words last time, this time's content seemed to have consumed a lot of energy from the young princess. It was written in full, and there was even... the Luan bird totem printed on it at the end.
This... Lin Yuan originally wanted to read it slowly, but this totem was clearly urgent, so he had to scan the letter quickly.
Unexpectedly, this was the first time she wrote to him so seriously, not because she was talking to him, but because she wanted his help...
Lin Yuan held the thin paper in one hand, and his eyes fell on the lights of thousands of houses below again. The candlelight was reflected between his pupils. In a daze, he saw that person again.
For a long time, it was not until the steward's cold sweat dripped from his forehead that he heard the voice of the governor.
"Go and call Ling'er."
The Ling'er in Lin Yuan's mouth was his adopted son, and Lin Ling was also the next county governor he trained many years ago.
Although he was adopted, Lin Ling was nearly thirty years old and had a rough and burly appearance. Lin Yuan himself was not low in stature, nearly 1.9 meters tall, but the adopted son had barbarian ancestry and was nearly 2 meters tall.
In his eyes, there was a child's dependence and admiration for his father.
"Father." He lowered his head and called Lin Yuan carefully.
A big man, who managed Donglin in an orderly manner during the day, and showed no mercy when training his troops, but at this time, he was extremely respectful to the person who raised him.
At this time, he looked down at the angle and saw the red seal of the Princess's Palace on the envelope in his father Lin Yuan's hand.
His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood that something had happened to the little princess in Liujing who was at the forefront of his father's heart. At this time, he only hoped that such trouble wouldn't be too difficult to deal with.
"Hmm."
Lin Yuan turned around, withdrew his eyes from the light, walked slowly into the room, carefully folded the letter in his hand, and placed it in a brocade box with the short letter from last time.
After doing this, he looked at the very well-behaved adopted son and said:
"I called you here to ask you to arrange army provisions and come up with 50,000 stones worth."
"Via the waterway, then by land transport, and delivered to the hands of Hua Yan, in the City of Liao Province."
When Lin Ling heard this, his tiger body trembled, and his rough face showed embarrassment and disapproval. He finally knelt down on one knee, wanting to disobey Lin Yuan's order.
"Father, without an imperial decree, privately dispatching troops, horses, food and fodder would be a major crime against the nine clans..."
But the courage he finally mustered up disappeared under Lin Yuan's fluttering glance.
From struggling to surrendering, in just one breath, Lin Ling's neck finally lowered: "Yes, this son...accepts the order."
