189 Water Can Carry a Boat, It Can Overturn a Boat

“As long as the longing in your heart is strong enough, even if the person you miss doesn’t have Spirit Rhinoceros, you can still establish that connection. However, the success rate is not high, and I can’t hear your voice.”

A hint of worry appeared in Lin Ran’s eyes. “Are you… alright?”

“So far, I’m alright.”

The empress smiled. “So far, I’ve only used Spirit Rhinoceros twice. It’s not that I’m worried about being affected by the resentment in it, but this pair of Spirit Rhinoceros is too old. There’s not much resentment left in them.”

Lin Ran immediately understood. “So you want to go to the Great Yong Dynasty and use Spirit Rhinoceros again to confirm your mother’s location?”

!!

The empress did not say anything and only nodded in agreement.

“I see.”

Lin Ran covered his face and suddenly felt a little helpless.

For the future of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty, he could not let the empress take the risk. However, what could stop a girl from looking for her mother?

The atmosphere became solemn, as if time had stopped flowing.

After an unknown period of time, the empress suddenly spoke with a pleading tone, “Lin Ran, please take me to the Great Yong Dynasty. I promise that after entering the Great Yong Dynasty, I’ll listen to you.”

“The thing is that I know nothing about the situation in the Great Yong Dynasty. I can’t guarantee your safety even if you listen to me.”

Lin Ran covered his face and replied in a low voice. After a moment, he reached out to the empress. “Give it to me.”

The empress was stunned. “Give you what?”

“Spirit Rhinoceros.”

As Lin Ran spoke, he flashed forward and took the hairpin from the empress. “Go back to the palace. I’ll go find your mother.”

The empress revealed a helpless expression. “You won’t be able to find her. You don’t even know what my mother looks like.”

“Simple.”

Lin Ran smiled as if he was already confident. “If you make a mask and put it on, I’ll know what your mother looks like.”

“Mask?”

The empress frowned slightly and smiled stiffly. “Are you crazy? Only skilled craftsmen can make human skin masks. How can I know such a thing?”

“Cut it out! You made that thing yourself!”

Lin Ran waved his hand indifferently. “Previously, I pretended to be Sword God and went to various sects. That mask has the smell of your bedroom. What craftsman can enter your bedroom?”

The smile on the empress’s face instantly disappeared. After a few seconds, she lowered her shoulders in frustration. “I need some time.”

“It’s fine. I have plenty of time now.”

Lin Ran nodded, and his eyes lit up. “I happen to have something to arrange.”

After leaving the empress to produce the mask, Lin Ran found Guo Fuzhen who was supervising the work on the observation platform at the edge of the city.

“General Guo.”

Lin Ran shouted and handed over the White Tiger Token and everything else that could reveal his identity. “I’m going to the Great Yong Dynasty to investigate some things. Bringing these with me might cause unnecessary trouble. Please keep them for me for the time being.”

When he said this, Lin Ran felt very awkward. After all, a while ago, he had just promised that he would protect the White Tiger Token with his life,

Fortunately, Guo Fuzhen was understanding. He only nodded to show that he understood and took it over.

After putting it away carefully, Guo Fuzhen probed, “Deputy General Lin, what did His Majesty say?”

“His Majesty is preparing something. After that, I’ll send His Majesty back to the palace.”

Hearing that the empress was about to return to the palace, Guo Fuzhen heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, Lin Ran asked about the situation at the border on the Great Yong Dynasty’s side. Although the two sides were dozens of kilometers apart, they had been scheming for so many years and had sent countless spies to each other. Therefore, Guo Fuzhen knew a little about it.

After a brief introduction, Guo Fuzhen continued, “Deputy General Lin, what I told you is just the usual situation. The war has just ended. Perhaps they will make some changes. You have to be careful.”

Lin Ran nodded to show that he understood. After bidding farewell to Guo Fuzhen, he went back and saw a team of 30 people standing in the yard. The one in the lead was Yuan Yangguo who left a while ago.

“Sword God!”

Seeing Lin Ran, Yuan Yangguo immediately came over. “You asked us to go further away before coming back, so we went straight to Yinzhou City. We’re not late, are we?”

Lin Ran didn’t know where Yinzhou City was, but looking at how travel-worn these people were, he knew that it was definitely not close. He nodded. “The time is just right. You guys rest for a while. I have to send His Majesty back to the palace first. We’ll set off when I return!”

“Yes!”

Everyone agreed in unison. Lin Ran entered the hall and found the empress in a small room in the back hall.

The empress was still wearing the black robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns, but her face had already changed. It was obvious that she was wearing a human skin mask.

Perhaps because of the limited time and materials, this mask was really a little rough. Many places were uneven, and the color was not uniform in some places. However, it was enough to show what a person looked like.

Lin Ran didn’t say anything. He leaned closer and looked at it carefully. Although this mask was very rough, he could tell that the empress’s mother was also a rare beauty.

She looked 60 to 70% similar to the empress, but her facial features were softer. She did not look like a general on the battlefield, but like a young lady from a wealthy family.

Lin Ran quickly remembered it and said to the empress seriously, “I’ve remembered it. Leave this to me.”

The empress nodded and did not say anything. Her eyes subconsciously drifted away, as if she still felt a little indignant.

Seeing this, Lin Ran’s heart softened, but he also knew that now was not the time to be soft-hearted. He took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, “Don’t worry, if I find her, I’ll definitely do my best to bring her back.”

The empress was still looking somewhere in silence.

Lin Ran knew that she was most likely angry at him, so he didn’t say anything else. He changed the topic and reached out his hand. “Let’s go. I’ll send you back to the palace first.”

“You go first. Someone will send me back.”

The empress finally spoke, but her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, as if she was in a low mood.

Lin Ran could understand how she felt, so he didn’t say anything else. He just reminded her to be careful and turned to leave.

When the door closed again, the empress suddenly heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, as if she was exhausted, she closed her eyes and collapsed on the chair.
