Acai's Sky

Chapter 296: Ordinary Road...

It was the end of summer, the weather was pleasant, the breeze was refreshing, and the scene was peaceful and harmonious.

At the gate of the Ning Dynasty's capital, at dawn, the morning light was just beginning to appear and the city gate slowly opened.

Lord Lin smiled, bowed to his colleagues and said goodbye, and made a solemn promise: when he returns, he will definitely invite everyone to drink wine together...

After saying that, he turned around, stepped lightly into the carriage, and waved behind him.

Lord Lin turned his head and looked at the towering city walls of the capital, feeling endless emotion in his heart.

Once upon a time, he thought he would be trapped in this besieged city forever, deeply trapped and unable to escape.

But now, fate has given him an opportunity to regain his freedom and travel the world.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel heroic.

When he moved his eyes to the inside of the car, he saw his beloved daughter hugging a few cute kittens and puppies, sleeping soundly, with a faint blush on her little face, looking so adorable.

Seeing this scene, Lord Lin felt even happier.

After getting off the carriage, he climbed onto the horse, ready to embark on this journey full of unknowns and expectations.

At this moment, the housekeeper Uncle Feng also rode over on horseback.

Lord Lin glanced at him sideways and said with concern, "You are getting old now. Wouldn't it be better for you to stay at home and enjoy your life? Why do you have to follow me around everywhere?"

However, the steward, Uncle Feng, was all smiles, and cheerfully responded, "Master, life is short. It would be a shame if we couldn't see all the beautiful sights in the world. This time, with such a rare opportunity, I naturally don't want to miss it!"

……

Ning Dynasty Imperial Palace, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests

In the early morning, when it was still dark and everything was quiet, Qi Yunkai had already arrived here, ready to burn incense for his ancestors.

Standing in front of the ancestral tablet, Qi Yunkai's face was solemn, and he whispered to himself: "Fatty, tell me, am I a little cold-blooded and ruthless, and have I gone too far?"

Eunuch Wang, standing nearby, lowered his head, rolling his eyes. He pondered: "That little girl, abandoned from birth, slumbered for five full years before waking, and then even opened the door to the underground palace. And just because she emerged unscathed from a lightning strike, His Majesty has become suspicious of her." Thinking of this, Eunuch Wang couldn't help but feel a little unfair for that well-behaved little girl.

At this moment, the Emperor suddenly asked a question. Eunuch Wang quickly collected his thoughts and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty is so wise. Not only did you arrange for Lord Lin to accompany her on her travels to broaden her horizons, but you also gave them the opportunity to strengthen their relationship. Such a beautiful thing is truly rare!"

Hearing this, Qi Yunkai nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the ancestral tablet in front of him, his tone becoming more determined: "Pass the order down, order the civil guards to lead a team to protect Lord Lin's safety. All expenses required for this trip will be borne by me!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Daban hurriedly bowed, then carefully backed away to the door, turned around and hurried away to convey the emperor's will.

After Eunuch Wang left, Qi Yunkai murmured, "I know I'm overly suspicious, but I have no choice! Even lightning can't kill him. Could this person really be the chosen one? Taoist Changsheng's remarks must be suppressed!"

He gently placed the tightly wrapped file on the table, his eyes revealing a hint of solemnity and expectation.

This is an important document that Lord Lin sent someone to deliver secretly before leaving this morning!

After taking a deep breath, he slowly opened the cover of the file.

When he saw the contents, he couldn't help but gasp: "Wow! It's the Gu family! And the old man from the Gu family!"

This discovery caused a surge of complex emotions in his heart. He never expected that the Gu family actually raised the descendants of the previous dynasty's prince.

"good, very good."

He murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with determination, "Then use your blood to seal the prophecy of Taoist Changsheng..."

It was as if he had made up his mind to take some action.

The emperor had full trust in Lord Lin and firmly believed that this loyal minister would not disappoint him.

"Lord Lin is a loyal and devoted man. Taking your only daughter with you to leave Ningguo is truly an act of righteousness. I have complete faith in you!"

The emperor's voice echoed in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, demonstrating his high recognition and support for Lord Lin.

……

"Thank you to this ordinary world...

"Ordinary road, ordinary world..."

"Ordinary you, ordinary me..."

"This ordinary world, please say thank you..."

"Fearless and innocent..."

Ah Cai sat in front of Lord Lin, riding on the horse together, with an embroidered bucket bag slung around her neck.

He sang a song out of tune with his tender voice and shook his little head.

Lord Lin looked down at his daughter in front of him, grinning and squinting his eyes with a smile.

The housekeeper Uncle Feng looked at the father and son with dismay.

Guard Wen nudged Captain Li Kai and said, "Brother, our Marquis is so amiable? Isn't it said that he drugged those who betrayed him? That hurts..."

Li Kevin pulled away the guard's hand and said, "They deserve it! They switched your child, threw him away, and even slept with him for five years. What are you doing?"

Guard Wen's eyes widened in anger. "Tear him apart. It won't be over until we chop him into pieces..."

Li Kai looked at him with disdain, "That's all? You have no skills at all. Look at our Marquis, he gave them some medicine that will make their lives miserable from now on... Living is worse than death!"

Guard Wen was shocked. He had to protect Lord Lin from now on and must not provoke him. He knew that there was no antidote for those drugs and that the people who made them did it at will...

Ah Cai sang at the top of her lungs, her throat almost smoking.

Tong Jiawu followed beside them and swiftly handed the water bag to Ah Cai, "This is grape juice, Ah Jiu made it himself."

Ah Cai took it and drank it in big gulps. Then she took out a water bag filled with juice and handed it to Lord Lin over her head.

"Daddy, drink quickly!"

Lord Lin took the water bag steadily, held the reins tightly with one hand, and grabbed the water bag with the other hand. He bit open the cork with his teeth and drank the juice in big gulps.

Oh, this juice is so sweet and delicious. Lord Lin has never tasted such delicious juice. It feels like all the pores in his body are stretched out. It is so comfortable, it is simply wonderful.

Lord Lin didn't ask any more questions and happily walked forward with his daughter. Their destination was the southernmost tip of Canaan, on the southern side of Ningguo...

They walked leisurely along the coastline and played happily at the beach every day.

Lord Lin, holding the fishing rod Ah San had made for him, accompanied by his steward Uncle Feng and Captain Li, would happily go sea fishing every day. Although his skills weren't great, he was addicted to it...

As for Ah Cai, she secretly carries the [Water-Repellent Beads] with her every day, dives into the seabed, and enjoys the unpolluted beauty of the seabed.
