Uncle, don't overdo it

After more than [-] days of non-stop, the team arrived at the border of northern Xinjiang.Due to the impact of the war, the people who originally did reselling business with the subordinate countries in northern Xinjiang dispersed, and the small town temporarily built for business was as desolate as a dead city.

Affected by the climate, northern Xinjiang is generally desolate, with strong winds constantly blowing against the face.

Lin Xiner hadn't experienced this kind of environment for more than two years. As soon as she stepped in, it was as if she had never left. It was still so familiar, and she seemed to have returned to the memory of practicing martial arts against the wind and snow.

Northern Xinjiang is much colder than the capital city. Although it is autumn, snowflakes have already started to fall here.Although very few, they disperse when they fall to the ground without leaving any traces, but looking up at the sky, they are indeed pure white flowers from heaven.

Lin Xiner stretched out her hand and took a piece of snowflake in her palm, which soon turned into a small round drop of water, crystal clear.

"Let's go, this is not the time to stay and appreciate, try to arrive at the camp before dark." Liu Cheng broke the short-term peace very untimely.

Along the way, he rarely talked to Lin Xiner, and even if he said something occasionally, it was cold.

Liu Cheng is a person who can't tolerate any smudges. No matter who he finds inappropriate, he will strictly point it out. He doesn't know how to detour. He is a qualified Master Yushitai, but he is also hated by many ministers.Therefore, when he slipped out an inappropriate metaphor, he would be thrown into trouble by everyone.

Lin Xiner was not upset by Liu Cheng's interruption, she turned around and walked towards the carriage.

"Master Liu." After walking a few steps, Lin Xiner stopped and turned to look at Liu Cheng, "Do you know why I asked you to join the crown prince in the conquest?"

"Hmph!" Liu Cheng turned his face away and snorted coldly.

In his opinion, Lin Xiner had something to do with Shuiyue Palace, so she should be brought up for careful interrogation in court. I don't know what the emperor thinks, if she is allowed to go to the northern border, is she really expected to be guilty and meritorious?But the rest of the ministers agreed with all their strength, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"My proposal was approved by the majority of powerful officials because Master Liu was the supervisor of the army. In other words, I am in the honor of Master Liu." Lin Xiner said.

"What do you mean?" Liu Cheng's face darkened. Hearing what Lin Xiner said, he seemed to be with her.

He, Liu Cheng, has been upright and strict with himself all his life, when will he be in the same class as someone with an unclean family background?

Although he, Liu Cheng, admired Lin Bo for galloping on the battlefield and defending northern Xinjiang for more than ten years with iron blood and pride, but if Lin Bo's daughter was inappropriate, he would not tolerate it. There is no human feeling in front of my eyes.

Lin Xiner smiled slightly, "Is Master Liu so ignorant of his situation in court?"

Liu Cheng naturally knew the situation in the court, and many officials wished that he would be dismissed from office and stay away from the court.He knows that his official hat is trembling, but he believes that he is not afraid of the shadow, right and wrong have their own justice.

"Does Master Liu think that he can always hold the word 'fairness'?" Lin Xiner said, "If justice always follows, there will be no unjust, false or wrongly decided cases in the world. You have justice because you haven't been touched enough yet. The person in the highest position, if you anger him, do you think you will still stick to the word of justice? You can recall the situation when you compared the things of the previous dynasty in the Zhaohe Temple, why didn't you continue Accuse me of that incident, and warn the emperor to punish me severely, just in case? Isn’t this what you worried about all the way?”

Liu Cheng remained silent. Lin Xiner did mention his point. At that time, he brought up the metaphor of the previous dynasty. He was really afraid of being blamed by the emperor, so he stopped in time.

Lin Xiner smiled and said, "In the final analysis, Lord Liu is not as straightforward as I thought, at least in front of the emperor, you still remember to be measured when speaking. Therefore, Lord Liu is not a loyal and admonishing minister. It’s not that noble in your bones.”

"You—" Liu Cheng's face was flushed by Lin Xiner's words, and the roots of his ears felt a little hot.

"If Lord Liu is extremely loyal and admonishes me and opposes my coming to Northern Xinjiang, I don't think I will go on the road so easily. Do you think I have been honored by Lord Liu?" Lin Xiner asked with a smile.

Lin Xiner's smile satirized Liu Cheng in front of him, leaving him speechless.

Along the way, he thought that he was in the right position, but after Lin Xiner said so, he saw himself standing crookedly.In the Hall of Zhaohe, he did not forcefully remonstrate, but he was afraid of other courtiers' troubles, and he did not have the courage to resist them, and kept his own opinions.

"Actually, this is just from the point of view of Mr. Liu. As other courtiers, they try their best to make Mr. Liu difficult, and work together to let Mr. Liu pick up this hot potato. If there is anything wrong with me, the first to suffer is You, Master Liu, right? So when I proposed to let Master Liu go out with me, I would naturally get the consent of the majority of people. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would not be so easy to get a unified opinion." Lin Xiner said.

"You are such a cunning woman, taking advantage of such a treacherous villain!" Although Liu Cheng was very annoyed, but the matter is a foregone conclusion, everyone has arrived in the northern border, what else can we do?

"What are you talking about?" Ximen Che, who went to check ahead, rode back and happened to see Lin Xiner talking to Liu Cheng.

The two of them didn't communicate much along the way, but they stood and talked together when he was not around, which made Ximenche a little unhappy, and felt that they were deliberately isolated again.

"I'm praising Mr. Liu for his impartiality. He is a rare and upright person. It's a pity that he made enemies on all sides and offended many people." Lin Xiner said to Ximenche.

"That's right, Mr. Liu has also offended the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince also hates this Yushitai so much. I don't want us to come to Northern Xinjiang together one day." Ximenche said, glaring at Liu Cheng.

In the court, Liu Cheng often taunted him, how many times he was annoyed, and he had no way to refute, and lost a lot of face.

In fact, when the Northern Expedition was decided at the Hall of Zhaohe, he was still thinking of changing the supervisor, but he also thought that it was Lin Xiner's suggestion and the ministers agreed. After thinking about it, he still didn't dare to say anything.Now that there is no King Xuan behind him, he needs to win over the ministers, and he dare not easily oppose the attitude of the ministers.

Lin Xiner had just found out his weakness, and the burning heat in Liu Cheng's ears hadn't subsided yet. Facing Ximenche, he lost his previous stern words and remained silent.

"There is no need to mention the old things. Now Lord Liu is dedicated to His Highness the Crown Prince, helping His Highness to make contributions in northern Xinjiang. After the war in Northern Xinjiang is quelled, after returning to Beijing, the Prince has more experience. Lord Liu also let those courtiers who targeted him Disappointed, come home lauded, and I…”

"How are you?" Ximenche asked.

"I really want to stay in Northern Xinjiang and never go back." Lin Xiner said as she walked towards the carriage.
