NOVEL NEXT Chapter 486
Yan Xin said happily, "That's good then. If we go now, you guys can stay for a longer time! My senior brothers have always missed you, so they will be very happy to see you there!"
Song Jinglan tilted his head slightly as Lin Feilu quickly added, "I'm not familiar with them; I don't know why they miss me!"
Yan Xin, "…"
Song Jinglan couldn't help laughing.
Before dawn, the three of them rode together towards the Qin Mountain. Lin Feilu and Song Jinglan rode on the same horse. Although the winter wind was cold, she felt inexplicably warm in his arms.
The Qin Mountain was close to the south and very close to the border of the Song Empire. After crossing the border, they could arrive in a day if they hurried.
In order to surprise Lin Ting and Lin Zhanyuan, Yan Xin didn't write a letter ahead of time as the trio rushed to the foot of the Qin Mountain two days before the New Year.
The last time she came, it was spring, which was the season of planting and working, as the entire space was full of vitality. This time in winter, there were a few tattered scarecrows stuck in the dry farmland, but the surrounding villages were much more prosperous than last time.
After Lin Qing succeeded to the throne, after dealing with the political affairs accumulated at that time and the diplomacy with the Song Empire, he began to deal with domestic affairs.
Lin Ting was enfeoffed here back then, so the area around the Qin Mountain became his fiefdom. Because the place was remote and not considered lavish, it looked like Lin Qing still feared and targeted his elder brother, but it was actually the best gift he could give him.
Now, the area around the Qin Mountain was thriving under Lin Ting's governance. With the backing of the Thousand Blades faction, no one from the martial world or the high-ranking officials dared to stir trouble here. Therefore, it became a place almost similar to paradise.
When Yan Xin was away, Lin Ting also lived in the palace at the foot of the mountain.
Prince Qi's Mansion was supposed to be built in the city, but Lin Ting moved it to the foot of the Qin Mountain. There, he lived with the surrounding farmers daily and enjoyed the sunrise and sunset, living a very comfortable life.
Lin Feilu walked behind Yan Xin and glanced around while listening to her show off all these changes, making the girl gasp in amazement and awe repeatedly.
When passing by the large building at the intersection, a group of children, who were playing with several marbles not far away, were squatting on the ground. Among the group of young children was a lean yet handsome teenager who was also joining the fun with great interest and looked very happy.
Lin Feilu suddenly became excited as she patted Song Jinglan's hand that was holding hers, which also held the reins of the horse.
Song Jinglan understood her intentions and let go of his arms, helping Lin Feilu jump off the horse.
But she didn't call out to the boy immediately. Instead, she went around and hid behind the stone mill before picking up a few small stones. There, she secretly threw them at the back of the boy who was still squatting on the ground.
The boy turned his head in doubt but saw nothing, so he turned his head back to concentrate on playing with the marbles.
He turned around again when Lin Feilu threw another.
After doing this several times, the boy stood up angrily, put his hands on his hips, and shouted, "Who is the one throwing at me?"
Lin Feilu laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She hid behind the stone mill and exclaimed, "Take a guess!"
The young man was taken aback. His already beautiful and clear eyes widened as his fair face flushed red. Then, he said excitedly, "It's my sister's voice! It's my sister! It's my younger sister!"
