I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 53: Song of the Yue People.

Last night, Xiao Jin notified Old Zhang that she would be going on a long trip tomorrow.

So early this morning, Old Zhang prepared the carriage and boat, waiting for Xiao Jin to choose whether to travel by land or water.

Jue Ge suggested, "Xinyang is not far from the capital, but there is a river called the Moon Crossing River between the two cities. If the situation is urgent, your highness can choose to travel by water."

Xiao Jin nodded, thinking that Jue Ge was really capable.

Much better than that garbage system.

The silent system silently took note of this.

Then Xiao Jin thought, maybe being too capable was not a good thing.

For example, even though she had said countless times that there were experts taking care of her, Jue Ge still looked at her with concern, almost writing "I'm really worried about you" on her face.

The lord's orders must be followed, and Jue Ge could only hand over hidden weapons and sleeve arrows to Xiao Jin, whispering, "These are the best weapons made by the craftsmen in Yan Mansion. Your highness can keep them for self-defense."

Xiao Jin happily accepted the defensive hidden weapons, now possessing the standard configuration of a protagonist in online novels.

Instantly, there was a feeling of full force.

But she looked at Jue Ge's reluctant appearance and corrected her mistake, "Jue Ge, your mission is indeed to investigate the case, but before that, you need to follow me onto the ship."

Jue Ge was stunned, and immediately understood Xiao Jin's meaning.

If she returned to the capital early, although her actions were swift, news of the front line missing a commander had probably already reached the capital.

As the head of the royal mansion's defense force, if she did not follow Xiao Jin to go forward, it would inevitably arouse suspicion that she was following the orders of the Prince Yan to do something behind the scenes.

But this raised another issue.

Jue Ge said, "If your highness travels by boat to Xinyang, it will definitely alert the eyes and ears of the capital. The people behind the scenes will get the news and may act in advance or temporarily postpone their assassination plan."

Xiao Jin didn't confirm or deny it and said, "Who said this prince is going to Xinyang today?"

Jue Ge was confused.

But then Xiao Jin smiled slightly and explained, "This prince is just in the mood to take the princess to Qingzhou for a trip. It won't obstruct anyone's actions."

After hearing her words, Jue Ge suddenly understood something.

The prince's move was clever.

If they went to Xinyang in a big way, it would definitely be noticed by others. Since it would be noticed anyway, it was better to go to Qingzhou first, which was closer to Xinyang, and then secretly go to Xinyang.

Seeing that Xiao Jin was thoughtful, Jue Ge realized that although she had lost her memory, she was still as cautious and alert as before, and she breathed a sigh of relief and put her mind at ease.

But Jue Ge had followed Xiao Jin since she was young and knew that she was disguised as a man.

Now that Xiao Jin was suffering from a leg injury and had difficulty moving, she couldn't let her servants or maidservants help her dress, or else her identity would be exposed.
