After passing the Lan Ting, it doesn't take much to leave the border of the Lan River Empire. Xie Xiyan drank the porridge in the bowl and estimated the next route.

Fortunately, even if they go out of the border, they are also small tribes close to the Lan River, and the chance of meeting the Hu people on the side of the royal court is extremely small. The security issues didn't require much consideration, and Xie Xiyan didn't know how many rogue bandits they encountered along the way, and they were nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of the elite Templars.

It's just that what Xie Xiyan didn't expect was that the Holy Maiden didn't agree to his suggestion to rest in the Lan Court for a few days, which somewhat interrupted his plan.

Fortunately, since they had arrived at the North Garden, they were not far from the Holy Land, and even if the spring mud was muddy, they could not stop their pilgrimage.

After a simple dinner, there was no need for Xie Xiyan to command, someone had already begun to pack some luggage and prepare to set up camp, everything was as usual, these things had been done silently countless times in countless nights.

Only Xu Lingling is not the same as usual, in the past, Xu Lingling would always unconsciously look to the northwest when he was camping and resting, but today, he was indeed facing the direction of Lanting City, and his eyes calmly looked at the road when they came.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and the night is even more ethereal under the backdrop of Xu Lingling. Fortunately, the Holy Sect and his party did not pay much attention to their saintess after their long journey—although Xu Lingling's appearance was the primary reason that attracted them to become Templars in the first place, the days when the chants of life in Jingliang City were sung had already slowly washed away the lead from their bodies. Compared with the saints, what attracts them more is the holy place of the Holy Church of the Cross.

Xie Xiyan could probably guess Xu Lingling's thoughts, but because of his identity, he couldn't persuade him. Although from a personal point of view, he wished that the Holy Maiden would be as far away from the young general of the Lanhe Empire as possible, but this did not seem to be in line with Xu Lingling's intentions. Xie Xiyan has also "loved" someone very blindly and madly, and he has also been like a fool who will worry about the other end of his feelings for no reason with the good or bad weather.

Of course, he also cowardly stopped at his beloved and did not dare to move forward.

Everyone who has loved understands that the deeper the love, the smaller the person.

Of course Xie Xiyan understood, he was standing behind Xu Lingling, between Xu Lingling and Lan Tingcheng. But he didn't know whether to capture the waves under Xu Lingling's calm or to find the hateful kid in the city.

"Holy Maiden, it's time to rest." Xie Xiyan reminded.

"I see, you go to sleep first." Xu Lingling finally turned around, not knowing if she was looking at Xie Xiyan or Lan Tingcheng behind him.

"I still have something to think about." She said.

After turning over and over all night, Xie Xiyan's mind was full of those miscellaneous fragments of time. Xie Xiyan realized that many inadvertent moments were firmly engraved in the depths of his mind.

A moment ago, it was Xu Lingling's holy and quiet face when he chanted the scriptures in front of the believers; The next moment, it was Xu Lingling's youthful and melancholy expression when he looked at the dappled lights on the Jingjiang River in a daze.

For Xie Xiyan, secretly turning sideways to peek at the holy woman's face is a daily routine, and seeing her look as usual, his heart will calm down; Seeing her smile on her lips, she seemed to be the happiest person in the world; And when I saw Xu Lingling sometimes in a trance and sometimes lost, I was also very uncomfortable.

Xie Xiyan knew that he shouldn't meddle in his affairs, and he knew very well that this matter would not bring him any benefits, but looking at Xu Lingling's appearance, he would also be very uncomfortable.

Really, it's very uncomfortable. It's very uncomfortable. Xie Xiyan spent a night in a dazed state, and he didn't know if he had fallen asleep, let alone if he had come up with any countermeasures.

I'm so stupid! Xie Xiyan really wanted to punch himself hard, why did he think so much, since the holy woman said not to stay, then let's just leave it, and leave for the holy land directly, won't everything be solved?

With a definite decision, Xie Xiyan perked up a little, listening to the early morning bird calls, and couldn't sleep anyway. Since you no longer worry about whether to go or stay, let's pack up and get ready to go.

Xie Xiyan said this to himself, but when he opened the curtain, he found that Xu Lingling was still sitting there, not moving the slightest, if it weren't for the evidence of the already white sky, Xie Xiyan would probably mistakenly think that it was not long before the simple conversation after the meal.

"Holy Maiden!" Xie Xiyan was a little flustered, such a low-level mistake actually appeared in him, and he actually let Xu Lingling stay outside all night. Fortunately, there were no accidents, and he hurriedly ran to Xu Lingling to confirm the situation.

Seeing that Xu Lingling was still awake, Xie Xiyan was a little relieved, but he was a little distressed, and called several times before Xu Lingling was "woken up".

"Huh? Is it already dawn? Xu Lingling looked up at the sky, and then she pinned her sideburns behind her ears with her fingers, revealing her extremely iconic smile: "I'm fine, I'm worried about you." ”

Xie Xiyan hurriedly rolled a roll of blankets from the carriage and draped it over Xu Lingling.

Xie Xiyan pleaded with tears and words: "Holy Maiden...... Let's stay for a few days! ”

Xu Lingling still had the same attitude as before, she shook her head: "Still can't ......"

Xie Xiyan looked at Xu Lingling's heart like a knife, he realized that his previous decision was such a bastard - Xu Lingling was obviously evading, and he was the only person who could help her, if even he chose to escape, then who else could help the current saint?

Xie Xiyan didn't know what had happened between Xu Lingling and that kid, but he knew very well that the saint had changed. Previously, they had only called her saint, not even knowing her name. In other words, in their hearts, a saint is a saint, and she shouldn't have a name. After Lanshui, the saint has her own proud name, she is no longer a symbol of holiness, beauty and love, and from then on, a beautiful woman named Xu Lingling walked in the world instead of the saint.

Xu Lingling is still a saint, but a saint is not Xu Lingling.

Xie Xiyan couldn't tell the mystery, but to put it simply, it was their holy daughter, more like a "person". Of course, he was glad about the change, after all, if he was going to start a family in the future...... Xie Xiyan still thought about it a little.

"Holy Maiden...... Let's not run away, okay......" Xie Xiyan choked up, he knelt down in front of Xu Lingling, his head seemed to have lost the strength of support, and he hung deeply. He doesn't have a good impression of Lan Ting, and even more so the kid in his eyes, but if doing so can make Xu Lingling feel better, then he will have no bottom line.

Xu Lingling didn't go to see Xie Xiyan, but in a lighter tone than before: "It's obvious that he escaped......"

In the sky, as the sun dawned, a pure white dove flew from the north.

The white dove seemed to turn around the sky a few times before gradually falling and arriving at Xu Lingling's hand.

It was only when he saw that Xu Lingling didn't reach out to pick it up that he flapped his wings and flew to Xu Lingling's shoulder, and screamed a few times in a dissatisfied tone, and then pecked Xu Lingling's hair with a peck.

This is not an ordinary white dove, this kind of pigeon with blue eyes and pure color can only be cultivated by the Holy Sect, if it comes from the north, it must be from the Holy Sect.

Xu Lingling was pecked a little impatiently, dismantled the short tube at the pigeon's leg, and waved his hand to drive away the pigeon who didn't know the style. The white dove also understood that he had completed his task, and although he was very unhappy that there was no reward, he only cooed a few times and flew away.

Xu Lingling looked at the short words on the paper, sighed and said, "Let's enter the Lan Ting." ”

Xie Xiyan couldn't believe his ears a little, but he still agreed, no matter what the reason was, but this may be the best ending, he reached out and held the blanket that was about to slide off Xu Lingling's body.

The order to enter Lanting was quickly conveyed in the convoy, and there were more or less cheers - all the way north from Jingliang City, they only stopped at a certain post station for a short time to replenish necessities, let alone rest in the market. Most of these Templars were natives of the Lan River, and their doctrine and canons were obviously inferior to those brought out by the Church from foreign lands. I heard that it must be an exciting thing to be able to enter Lanting City and have a good rest before leaving the Lanhe Empire.

Pack up your bags, and the convoy officially drove into Lanting City. And they were also very low-key, and they all took off their armor and changed into cloth clothes - before entering the city, Xu Lingling asked them about three chapters:

First, it is not allowed to cause trouble or disturb the people.

Second, don't reveal your identity.

Third, when she was in Lanting City, she was the young daughter of the Xu family, a wealthy man in Jiangnan, and they were the guards hired by the Xu family.

This was originally a team formed by Xu Lingling, Xu Lingling's holy and peerless appearance coupled with her status as a saint, no one dared to refute any of her decisions.

So, after the soldiers at the city gate checked the documents, another group of caravans were stationed in Lanting City, which was a daily routine for Lanting. It's just that this caravan is a virtual Jiangnan Xu family, that's all.

"Miss, what's next, us?" Xie Xiyan asked for instructions.

"Find a bigger property and live there." Xu Lingling pulled the scarf up and hid his little face under the hood and silk scarf as much as possible.

"Rent...... Or buy? Xie Xiyan was frightened, he thought that entering the Lan Ting was just for a few days of repair, but it seemed that he was going to stay in the Lan Ting for a while.

"Buy it, more is better than less, less trouble...... It's good. Xu Lingling replied.

The Hu people invaded and the oasis fell.

The eight words brought by the white dove successfully blocked the road of these believers to the north to convert.

And Beiting, the last snow has also fallen, after a winter, Ahuyu's figure has widened, obviously the lack of food in Beiting has not affected this new northern lord. Fortunately, the new master of the North Court did not waste his martial arts on the woman, of course, it was also because the Crucifixion Sect did not fulfill its promise truthfully.
