The carriages of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion came out of the mansion one after another, it seemed that the female dependents of the mansion were going to the suburbs of Baohua Temple to offer incense, Ling Xi and Ginkgo sat in the last carriage, Ling Xi's carriage was small and ordinary, not to mention that he thought it was the carriage of the inferior. Ling Xi thought to herself on the carriage, it had been several days since the birthday banquet, and Leng Qiuye didn't seem to have any moths, but she gave the copied notes to Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao was very happy, and also gave her the painting of Zhanyan, which seemed to be a lot closer to her. It's just a little ironic that Ling Xi wants to carefully prepare gifts for Ling Xiao to bring the relationship between their father and daughter closer, but he doesn't want to marry outside, but let Ling Xiao get close to him.

Originally, Jiang Shuangxue didn't want her to go out, but Leng Qiuye didn't know what nonsense she said to Ling Xiao, which made Ling Xiao convinced that he would have a small disaster this year, and he had to ask his daughters to go to Baohua Temple to pray for blessings to resolve it. Jiang Shuangxue repeatedly postponed, which made Ling Xiao very dissatisfied. Jiang Shuangxue had no choice but to agree to Ling Xi's going, anyway, Leng Qiuye's mother and daughter would also accompany her, she thought that there would probably be no trouble. However, Jiang Shuangxue was still worried that Ling Yao was young and would have some accidents, so she deduced that Ling Yao was not in good health, and she also stayed in the mansion to take care of Ling Yao and did not go with her.

So the mighty women's convoy in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion became a pomp and circumstance for Leng Qiuye's mother and daughter, Ling Xi didn't bother to worry about their mother and daughter, she kept opening the carriage curtains on the carriage and looked out, the streets of Yicheng were still lively, as usual, nothing abnormal.

The mighty Hou Mansion horse team went out of the city gate of Yicheng, and arrived at the outskirts after a while, and I don't know how long it will take to reach Baohua Temple, nothing strange happened along the way, Ling Xi also felt that he might be too worried.

Suddenly the carriage stopped, there was no movement for a long time, a little uneasy Ling Xi opened the curtain, but did not see the groom, the horse team of the Hou Mansion has long been gone, Ling Xi smiled bitterly, it sees, Leng Qiuye let the Hou Mansion female relatives travel with such fanfare, it turned out that she planned to leave herself behind, in the suburbs, called the sky should not be, called the ground is not spiritual, seeing that the sky is not early, in case she gets lost and can't go back to the city, she will be charged by Leng Qiuye for not returning home for a night, then she will be ugly in front of people.

Fortunately, she had already prepared, Ling Xi took out the men's clothes that had been hidden in the carriage and handed them to Ginkgo. "Put on the handle, it looks like we have to go home earlier than Leng Qiuye."

Ling Xi and Ginkgo, who were dressed in men's clothes, were walking on the country road back to the city, when they suddenly met a villager. The villager looked at Ling Xi and Ginkgo, as if he was a little puzzled, he looked in the direction where Ling Xi came from, as if he had something to say, but in the end he stopped talking.

Ling Xi suddenly felt that this villager might be here to intercept them, originally Ling Xi thought that Leng Qiuye was just trying to ruin her reputation, but now it seems that Leng Qiuye is planning to abuse her to death, a young lady of a family, if she is in the suburbs, if she is called every day and the earth is not working, if people see that she is pulling with a villager, or has something to do with it, it is estimated that her reputation will be ruined. Ling Xi raised her head slightly, straightened her slender waist, and loudly reprimanded Ginkgo.

"Master, I plan to come to the suburbs to write poems and paint, you stupid slave is good, you actually forgot to bring your master's favorite pen, and swept away the master's interest in vain." After speaking, Ling Xi didn't forget to give Ginkgo a gesture look, and Ginkgo quickly understood, and responded in a harmonious voice.

The villager probably also believed that Ling Xi was a noble son who came to step on the wind, so he left with confidence. Ling Xi saw the villager leaving, a heart was put in her stomach, sure enough, this villager was walking in the direction of the carriage, if she couldn't return to the city before nightfall, it was estimated that Leng Qiuye would ruin her reputation, she couldn't help but shiver, Leng Qiuye was afraid that she had already prepared, I don't know how many traps Leng Qiuye had set, thinking of this, Ling Xi didn't dare to stay in this suburb, she and Ginkgo also accelerated the pace of returning to the city.

Ling Xi, who had walked for a long time, saw a tea house on the side of the road, it seemed that it should not be far from the city gate, looking at the same tired ginkgo, Ling Xi decided to rest with Ginkgo in the tea house for a while, it is estimated that Leng Qiuye should not have started to mobilize the family to find himself at this time, how can the big drama be staged at night, don't worry, wait for her to return to the city, and slowly see how Leng Qiuye finishes this one-man show.

After a while, a group of soldiers walked into the tea house, looking a bit like soldiers changing guards in the city, Ling Xi estimated that it should be the gate of Yicheng not far away.

Ling Xi took a sip of tea, dropped a silver ingot, and was about to leave when suddenly a soldier stopped her.

"Yo, who's noble son, he's so generous." The soldiers began to look Ling Xi and Ginkgo up and down.

"Yo, this boy's skin is so white and tender, don't say it, I thought it was a little girl." As he spoke, the soldiers all came over, and their words were full of contempt.

A soldier also reached out to Ling Xi's face, and Ling Xi hurriedly stepped back and picked up a folding fan to cover his face.

"The more she talks, the more she looks like a girl, and she uses a fan to cover her face," the other soldier also teased Ling Xi, and he turned back to the other soldiers and said, "You say, this boy doesn't look like those weak sissies in the barracks." After speaking, he smiled at Ling Xi with malicious intentions.

"Then you can try it, see which one is gentler between this little boy and those sissies in the barracks?" One of the soldiers smirked.

The other soldiers also coaxed and surrounded Ling Xi, one of the soldiers actually stepped forward and moved his hands and feet, Ling Xi hurriedly took a few steps back, and almost fell to the ground.

Ginkgo jumped in front of Ling Xi, she grabbed the soldier who was about to catch Ling Xi, and said to Ling Xi with great effort, "Run." ”

Ling Xi glanced at Ginkgo, it seemed that this group of soldiers had taken a fancy to their money, if the soldiers found out that she was a daughter, then her reputation would really be over, she had to escape in order to find someone to come back to save Ginkgo, she gritted her teeth and ran to the jungle on the side of the road without looking back.

I don't know how long she ran, Ling Xi felt that there was no one chasing her behind her anymore, so she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. She was still careless, she thought she had escaped Leng Qiuye's calculations, but she didn't expect to meet a group of soldiers in the suburbs, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became. The sky gradually darkened, and in the deserted jungle everywhere, Ling Xi couldn't tell the direction, Ling Xi looked around, which way should she go, so that she could go back to the city as soon as possible to find someone to save Ginkgo.

Ling Xi, who was tired and a little flustered, was at a loss in the jungle, and suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, Ling Xi was startled, and subconsciously turned around.

"Ye Muzhi." Ling Xi whispered almost happily.

"Brother, we'll meet again." Ye Muzhi got off the horse, and he slowly walked towards Ling Xi.

Ling Xi let out a long sigh of relief, it was great to meet Ye Muzhi in the jungle, at least her current predicament could be solved.

"Ye Muzhi, can you take me back to the city? I have an acolyte who is besieged by a group of soldiers, and I have to find someone to rescue her. Ling Xi said anxiously. She wants to go back to the city as soon as possible, it seems that if she wants to go back to the house to watch the play in the early cold autumn leaves, she has to find her brother Ling Zhu, rescue the ginkgo first, and then find a way to deal with Leng Qiuye's calculations.

"You don't have to worry about the attendants around you, I just passed by Chaliao and have already reprimanded those soldiers, your attendant is a little frightened, I asked the servants to send her back to the city."

Hearing Ye Muzhi say that Ginkgo was already safe, Ling Xi was even more at ease, then the only thing left was to solve the problem of her whereabouts, and she could avoid Leng Qiuye's calculations, she still had to go back to the city, but it was estimated that it would be dark when she returned to the Hou Mansion, if Leng Qiuye saw her depressed appearance, she would definitely make a fuss, and she couldn't go back to the Pingyuan Hou Mansion.

"I seem to be lost, can you take me back to the city?" Ling Xi looked up at Ye Muzhi, just opposite Ye Muzhi's blazing eyes. The first time she was so alone with a man, Ling Xi couldn't help but blush, she quickly lowered her head, she had to admit that Ye Muzhi was actually very handsome.

Ye Muzhi led the black horse not far away to Ling Xi, he held the saddle steady, and said softly: "Get on the horse, I'll send you back to the city." ”

Ling Xi, who walked into the city, looked at Ye Muzhi from the side from time to time, and Ye Muzhi was silent along the way, and those who didn't know thought he was a mute.

"Ye Muzhi, thank you today."

"It's just a quick help, you also helped me, there's nothing to thank." Ye Muzhi didn't turn his head back, and continued to lead the horse to walk on the streets of Yicheng.

Night has fallen, and the streets of Eupong have long lost the bustle of the day, and the sparse passers-by shuttle through the streets. In the dark night, Ye Muzhi slowly led the horse and walked with Ling Xi on the silent street.

Ling Xi stared at Ye Muzhi's side on horseback, thanks to Ye Muzhi today, otherwise maybe she would wander around the jungle in the suburbs until dawn at night, if she encounters any ghosts, foxes, and wild ghosts, it is estimated that she will be able to become the person in the story, even if there are no demons and monsters, and if she meets a bandit who robs money and lust again, then she Ling Xi will really be as Leng Qiuye wishes, and Leng Qiuye can still be picked cleanly.

Thinking about it, Ling Xi felt that if she had a lot of gold and silver artifacts on her body, she would have to be grateful to Dade for letting Ye Muzhi accept it, but unfortunately she didn't have anything now except a pair of hungry temples, so she couldn't let Ye Muzhi invite her to a meal again, right? In fact, it's okay if you sneak out on a regular basis. Thinking of this, Ling Xi couldn't help but feel funny.

She leaned forward slightly, and in the faint moonlight, Ye Muzhi's promoted facial features loomed in Ling Xi's eyes, Ling Xi had to admit that Ye Muzhi was not only a little handsome, but he also had a unique heroic spirit.

Although Ling Xi didn't like this person very much when she saw Ye Muzhi for the first time, but see you again today, Ye Muzhi's masculine and handsome appearance is consistent with his behavior of helping each other on the road.

The corners of Ling Xi's mouth raised a smile again, although she is not a beauty, but Ye Muzhi is a hero, Ling Xi sat quietly on the back of a bumpy horse, in the gray street, it seemed that only she and Ye Muzhi were left wandering, it seemed that time had stood still. Inadvertently, Ling Xi's face was a little red, like a little girl with a spring in her arms.

"Don't go out in disguise as a man in the future, it's too dangerous, and it's not like a Miss Hou Fuyan." Ling Xi on the horse was slightly stunned, how did he know, Ling Xi couldn't help but wonder.

"When did you find out?"

Ye Muzhi suddenly turned around, he tightened the reins in his hand, and when the black horse stopped, he took out a gilded hollow sachet from his arms, which was the one that Ling Xi threw in the tea house.

"When I rescued your attendant, I took it back from the hands of that group of soldiers, this kind of gilded hollow sachet, my third sister also has one, this is a rare thing that only the young lady of the high-ranking official family in Yicheng can use. The base of this gilt hollow sachet is also engraved with the words Pingyuan Houfu, I think you should be the second sister that Brother Ling Zhu often says. ”

It turned out to be her sachet, and I thought that Ye Muzhi had seen through her daughter when she saw her for the first time, Ling Zhu didn't like to tell outsiders about the Hou Mansion, and it seemed that Ye Muzhi was also very familiar with Ling Zhu.

"Ye Muzhi, you are not very old, you really look like an old master, I just go out for a walk occasionally, today is an accident."

Ling Xi glanced at Ye Muzhi with a little dissatisfaction, was Ye Muzhi accusing himself of not having the appearance of Miss Houfu? Just now he had a good impression of Ye Muzhi, and suddenly Ling Xi was annoyed by Ye Muzhi's words.

Suddenly, the sound of a carriage reached their ears, and they saw that Ling Zhu on the opposite side was walking towards them, and Ye Muzhi hurriedly took the gilt hollow sachet in his hand back into his arms.

Ling Zhu walked to the horse, leaned over slightly and saluted Ye Muzhi, he raised his eyes to look at Ling Xi on horseback. "Muzhi, thank you!"

"With a gesture, Brother Ling Zhu, you're welcome." After saying that, Ye Muzhi turned around and left, Ling Xi looked at Ye Muzhi's back as he gradually moved away, she and him should not see each other again in the future, thinking of this Ling Xi was a little disappointed, okay, she and Ye Muzhi helped once, and the two did not owe each other.

Ling Zhu gently helped Ling Xi off the horse, waved his hand, and the carriage not far away stopped in front of Ling Xi, Ginkgo opened the curtain, she was already waiting for Ling Xi in the carriage.

"Brother, I can't go back to the Hou Mansion now, Leng Qiuye is waiting to catch me." Along the way, Ling Xi was so distracted that he almost forgot Leng Qiuye's calculations, and then he remembered that there was still Leng Qiuye.

"I have to go to the Marquis of Anguo's mansion." She whispered to Ling Zhu.
