The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 392 Ling Jinhua

Xie Changshi's guess was absolutely correct.

It was indeed Ling Changshi's biological sister Ling Jinhua who took the initiative to follow Gu Yufan to encircle and suppress the Duke of Qi this time.

Ling Jinhua was much younger than Ling Changshi. In addition, Ling's father passed away early and Ling's mother was in poor health. Ling Jinhua was almost raised by his brother and sister-in-law, so the relationship was naturally deep.

Her character is deeply influenced by Ling Changshi. Not only is she proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is also full of mental strategies.

Ling Changshi knew very well that His Highness was not a good man, so he never prevented Ling Jinhua from making a name for himself outside. However, Ling Jinhua's existence was still known to Gu Yufan.

Gu Yufan married Ling Jinhua in an extremely tough way and made her his concubine.

At first, in order to make Ling Changshi feel valued, Gu Yufan doted on Ling Jinhua for a while, but it didn't take long for him to find that Ling Jinhua was no fun, just a dull beauty, and he quickly lost interest.

Until Ling Changshi died unexpectedly, Ling Jinhua learned the truth from Guanjia Mu...

At that moment, Ling Jinhua's hatred for Gu Yufan rose to its peak.

She originally had a crush on someone, but Gu Yufan broke her up abruptly, causing her to lose the opportunity to stay with her beloved forever and to be the right wife, paying her respects to her mistress every day.

For her brother, she could endure all this.

But she never thought that her brother, who was devoted to Gu Yufan, would be tortured to death by him!

How could she endure this!
In order to disrupt the situation, and to make Gu Yufan reduce his suspicion of the Ling family, Ling Jinhua secretly sent news to his family. Only then did he learn that Ling Changshi had been killed by Prince Qi.

Sure enough, Gu Yufan's eyes were instantly attracted to the injured Prince Qi.

During the following period, Ling Jinhua showed her strategy appropriately and quickly gained Gu Yufan's attention.

When Ling Jinhua learned that Duke Qi had gone to Lingnan to mobilize troops and that Gu Yufan was going to fight in person, she knew that her opportunity had come!
She put on the armor she had prepared long ago, raised her hair, dressed up to look majestic, and knocked on the door of Gu Yufan's study with a small dagger.

Because the Duke of Qi went to Lingnan to mobilize troops, Gu Yufan knew that Gu Yuchen would definitely send troops against him soon, so he mobilized his troops and generals, planning to set out to encircle and suppress the Duke of Qi in the next two days.

Gu Yufan never thought of going on a personal expedition to encircle and suppress the Duke of Qi at first. It was suggested by his staff.

Considering that his personal expedition would greatly increase the morale of the navy, Gu Yufan agreed without hesitation.

He behaves very confidently externally, but only when he is alone, he will not hide his fear and irritability.

After all, he has been favored since he was a child. Let alone going to the battlefield, he can't even draw a slightly heavier bow and arrow.

So when he heard someone knocking on the door, Gu Yufan felt really annoyed: "Who is it!"

Ling Jinhua deliberately lowered her voice: "Your Highness, I have something to ask of you."

As soon as he heard Ling Jinhua's voice, Gu Yufan instinctively wanted her to get out, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back: "What's the matter?"

Hearing this, Ling Jinhua opened the study door with a smile: "Your Highness! I'm here to go to the battlefield!"

As she spoke, she waved the dagger: "Although I don't know much about martial arts, I can still be ruthless at critical moments..."

Ling Jinhua's eyes sharpened, and his tone became more serious: "He's a murderer!" Gu Yufan was amused by Ling Jinhua's feigned ferocity, and his mood improved a lot. He stepped forward and hooked Ling Jinhua's chin and said: "Accompany me to the battlefield. ?”

Ling Jinhua nodded fiercely and said with a smile, "Yes!"

She pursed her lips and snorted, her tone full of coquettishness: "I don't want to be a dodder flower and wait for His Highness's triumphant return in the mansion! I want to stay with His Highness."

She suppressed the disgust in her heart and gently tapped Gu Yufan's chest with her index finger: "I want to witness His Highness's heroic appearance in person, and I also want to know the news of His Highness's victory as soon as possible!"

The words "heroic appearance" and "victory" touched Gu Yufan's heart.

Most of the fear in his heart disappeared instantly.

The staff were right. He was a prince. He didn't need to go to the battlefield in person. He could just hide in the ship and wait for news. He could show up from time to time to let the soldiers know that he was there. What's so scary!

Besides, how many people are there in the Lingnan Navy, how many people are there in the Jiangnan Navy, plus his private soldiers?
Even if it costs him his life, he can win this battle!
Gu Yufan laughed, looking at Ling Jinhua wearing armor, he felt something different, and he became distraught for a moment.

He stretched out his long arms, hugged Ling Jinhua into his arms, buried his head in her shoulders and neck, and took a deep sniff. The light fragrance hit him, making him unable to control himself.

Ling Jinhua rolled her eyes fiercely, but raised the corners of her mouth, gently pushed Gu Yufan away, stamped her feet, and said with the tenderness of a little daughter: "Your Highness, do you agree with what I said?"

"Besides, His Highness is marching and fighting, and there is no caring person around to take care of him. How can I rest assured?"

Gu Yufan chuckled and said, "Do you have that time to follow me? Let alone take care of me."

"Also, I am going to march and fight, not to play! If you really go and get scared, I will feel sorry for you."

Ling Jinhua giggled: "With the prince by my side, I won't be afraid!"

"I am not like the princess, sister and others. I have to take care of all the affairs of the house, and I don't have children around me. Of course I have time to go."

Ling Jinhua pulled the jade pendant around Gu Yufan's waist: "Your Highness, just agree to my request!"

She took two steps back and turned around, with a bright smile on her face: "Your Highness, you see, I even made armor specially in order to be with you this time!"

"I promise that if His Highness agrees, I will take good care of His Highness!"

Duke Guo of Qi was originally a general of the Lingnan Navy and was familiar with water warfare. Even if he won, he would not be able to resolve the battle in one or two days.

In addition, starting from Jiangzhou, all the way down, and back and forth, it would take half a month at the fastest.

In the past half month, if there is no woman around me...

Gu Yufan had never thought about this before, but now that Ling Jinhua suggested it, he thought it was a really good idea.

But this candidate does not necessarily have to be Ling Jinhua.

Gu Yufan raised Ling Jinhua's chin again, with a slightly stern look in his eyes: "Speaking of armor, you have already prepared it. Why, do you think that I will definitely conquer it myself?"

Ling Jinhua looked straight at Gu Yufan, but her eyes turned red little by little. She shook her head slightly and said: "Of course I don't know. I made the armor well, but I just thought that even if His Highness doesn't go, I will go quietly. ”

"Prince Qi killed my brother, and I will have to watch his father die with my own eyes!"
