Chapter 42: The Old Man Meets
Xiao Lingfeng has been waiting outside the inn, but still no Ruxuan's figure, he has just been injured, his body has not fully recovered, the fatigue of the day makes his body a little unbearable, he slowly leaned against the wall and squatted down to rest for a while.
The sky gradually darkened, Xiao Lingfeng got up and prepared to go back, "Leling may have seen it wrong!" Xiao Lingfeng thought to himself.
glanced at the door of the inn and was about to go home, suddenly a figure attracted his attention, she hurriedly came out of the inn and disappeared into the night, Xiao Lingfeng hurriedly got up and followed.
Although she hadn't seen her for three years, Xiao Lingfeng could still see at a glance that she was Ruxuan, she was still so beautiful, and there was almost no change.
In just three years, Xiao Lingfeng is like a different person, growing a beard and experiencing vicissitudes. And the personality has also changed, I don't like to talk, I don't like to make trouble, I am not as frivolous as before, and I am more mature and stable.
Ruxuan didn't notice Xiao Lingfeng following her at all, she took advantage of the night to come around the cell, and kept wandering, as if looking for something.
Xiao Lingfeng looked at her silently like this, but he didn't dare to step forward to speak, he didn't know what he was saying or doing when he really met Ruxuan.
Xiao Lingfeng kept following her like this for several days.
Xiao Lingfeng learned about Chu Yunxuan through observation and inquiry, and it turned out that Ruxuan wanted to save Chu Yunxuan.
Xiao Lingfeng accompanied Ruxuan to go out early and return late like this, Ruxuan wandered at the door of the cell all day long, he knew that Ruxuan wanted to rob the prison, he had to stop her from going to death, and it was impossible for her to succeed on her own.
The weather is getting colder and colder, Xiao Lingfeng leaned against the wall outside the inn for another night, and he has been guarding Ruxuan's side for several days without going home, he is worried that Ruxuan will act blindly.
The sun emitted a gentle light, Xiao Lingfeng was stung by the strong light, he slowly opened his eyes, stood up with difficulty against the wall, it was another night, he was used to sleeping on the street, but his body was still so uncomfortable.
He waited quietly for a while, but he didn't see Ruxuan come out.
"Is it already out, alas! It's all my fault, and I'm asleep again. Xiao Lingfeng wanted to take a look around the cell.
"That's not right." Xiao Lingfeng suddenly thought of something, turned around and ran into the inn.
"Guest officer, eat or stay in the hotel?" Xiao Er came over to greet Xiao Lingfeng enthusiastically.
"Xiao Er, is the girl who lives here with you?" Xiao Lingfeng asked.
"This, I don't know."
Xiao Lingfeng took out a piece of silver and put it in front of him.
"Guest, she's in the house." Xiao Er saw that the silver was no longer hidden.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, I'm also strange, I go out every day but not today, I borrowed the reason to send water to go in and see, she was sleeping, and kicked me out, what do you sleep in the daytime, and I don't know what to do at night?" Xiao Er muttered.
Xiao Lingfeng went upstairs without waiting for him to finish, it seemed that Ruxuan was going to act, Xiao Lingfeng was going to stop her, and walked to Ruxuan's door, Xiao Lingfeng just wanted to push the door in but stopped, Ruxuan was no longer his wife, what qualifications did he have to stop her from saving Chu Yunxuan, he thought about it and went downstairs.
Xiao Lingfeng never left, he couldn't watch Ruxuan die, he had to find a way to help her.
Sure enough, as Xiao Lingfeng expected, in the thick night, a man in black jumped out of the window of the inn, holding a sword in his hand.
Xiao Lingfeng quietly followed behind her, Ruxuan didn't know any martial arts at all, in the past, Xiao Lingfeng had taught her a set of swordsmanship, although she had traveled with Chu Yunxuan over the years, she was no match for the heavy guards in the cell, Xiao Lingfeng knew this deeply.
He followed Ruxuan to the area around the cell, Ruxuan has been optimistic about the surrounding layout in the past few days, and she moves very freely. Seeing that Ruxuan was about to rush in, Xiao Lingfeng suddenly rushed out and hugged Ruxuan, carried her on her shoulders and left.
"Hey, what are you doing, let me down, let me down." Ruxuan kept struggling on Xiao Lingfeng's shoulders.
Xiao Lingfeng completely ignored Ruxuan's shouting and carried her in the direction away from the cell.
"You put me down." She kept pounding Xiao Lingfeng's back hard, and Xiao Lingfeng couldn't stand the pain and put her down.
"You bastard!" Ruxuan hadn't seen Xiao Lingfeng's face clearly, and reached out and slapped him heavily.
"What the hell do you want to do!" Ruxuan shouted at Xiao Lingfeng.
Xiao Lingfeng wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with his fingers, slowly raised his head, and met Ruxuan's eyes.
"Ling Feng, it's you!" Ruxuan was taken aback.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Ruxuan continued.
Xiao Lingfeng looked at the blood on his hand, put his hand down and said, "You can't save him at all, and you will be caught yourself." ”
"You know everything?" Ruxuan said.
"Let's go back first! Go back and figure it out! Xiao Lingfeng said, without any expression on his face.
Ruxuan didn't say anything more, she didn't say anything all the way, and followed Xiao Lingfeng back to the inn.
Back at the inn, Xiao Lingfeng pushed open the door of the room where Ruxuan lived and walked in with Ruxuan.
"Well, you're tired today, too! Rest well, I'll go first. "Xiao Lingfeng will leave after sending Ruxuan back.
"Ling Feng, I~" Ruxuan has something to say.
"Leave it to me, I'll figure it out." After Xiao Lingfeng finished speaking, he pushed the door and went out.
Hearing Xiao Lingfeng's promise, Ruxuan suddenly relieved herself, Xiao Lingfeng has always done what he says, three years ago, and it will be the same three years later, he is always very relieved to have him in Ruxuan.
Seeing Xiao Lingfeng again, his maturity and stability made Ruxuan feel a lot of emotion, but his indifference also made Ruxuan overwhelmed, blaming himself for hurting him too deeply back then, so he closed himself so much and didn't like words.
Ruxuan lay on the bed, reminiscing about the repetition of the scenes, and couldn't sleep for a long time.
Xiao Lingfeng walked alone on the clear and cold street, there was no figure in the market after midnight, a gust of wind blew, the cool air was biting, Xiao Lingfeng walked forward as if he didn't feel it, his heart was tasteless and mixed, he thought that he would never see Ruxuan again in this life, but he didn't want to meet her again three years later. I thought that I had accepted Aoqing and could let go of Ruxuan, but the feeling of seeing Ruxuan again was still so strong.
Xiao Lingfeng walked to a wall and leaned there and thought for a long time.
"Xiao Lingfeng, wake up, she came back to save Chu Yunxuan, she is no longer yours, give up." Xiao Lingfeng slapped himself as he spoke, got up and walked back quickly, and he had no sleep all night.
The sky finally brightened slightly, and the night seemed so long.
Xiao Lingfeng sat alone on the fence of the long corridor at the door, his back against the wooden pillar in a motionless daze.
Le Ling walked to Xiao Lingfeng's room and waited for Xiao Lingfeng to get up and wash up, but she didn't see Xiao Lingfeng's figure, she got up and walked out, and saw Xiao Lingfeng's lonely back.
"Master, are you up?" Leling stepped forward and asked.
"Yes." Xiao Lingfeng answered and did not speak again, his eyes still looking ahead.
"Sir, have you seen Madame?" When Le Ling saw Xiao Lingfeng's appearance, he knew that something must have happened.
"Yes."
"Then will she come back with the master?"
"She's married to someone else, how can she come back with me?"
"What? Is she really married to Chu Yunxuan? ”
"Well, she came back this time to save Chu Yunxuan, don't say such things again in the future, after helping her rescue Chu Yunxuan this time, I will send her away." Xiao Lingfeng said.
"However, he is a criminal of the court, how can I save him?"
"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way."
"Yes." Although Le Ling didn't agree to save Chu Yunxuan, she still didn't stop it, she knew that Xiao Lingfeng would definitely save him, even if it was for Ruxuan.
