Because considering that Chu Xingyue's body had just recovered, Zhao Ling was not in a hurry for the next journey.

When the group traveled to the evening, they came to a small town called Taiping.

There are many houses in the town, the streets are quite clean and tidy, because of the disaster, the town is very scarce, and few shops open their doors to do business.

Seeing this, Zhao Ling slowly lowered the open car curtain, his face faintly serious.

Chu Xingyue could more or less guess what he was feeling at the moment, and couldn't bear to see him carrying the pressure alone, so he took the initiative to reach out and put it on the back of his hand, and said, "The Jeju disaster has been going on for a while, and it will inevitably spread to the surrounding areas, you can know from the situation in Yuezhou that the closer we get to Jeju, the more serious the depression will be; You are Lord Chincha, and countless people are waiting for you to save their lives, at this time, if even you are worried about the future, who should the people count on? ”

Zhao Ling looked at Chu Xingyue, who was smart in Bingxue, he really felt that it was getting harder and harder to hide her in his mind, he didn't even say anything, but she had already guessed what he was thinking.

Yes, seeing that the once prosperous and lively town seemed to have become an empty city in the blink of an eye, his mood was obviously low.

Although he had long guessed that this disaster relief trip would not be simple, he did not expect that the situation was far more complicated than he imagined.

The haze in his heart was slightly depressed like silk, and before he could say anything, she saw everything thoroughly.

The corners of Zhao Ling's mouth pursed a helpless smile, and he stretched out his other hand to cover the back of her hand in her imitation.

"This king really can't hide anything from you, this town has passed by before, and I still remember that at that time, the town was densely populated, the shops were like clouds, the street vendors, the girls selling flowers, and the chaotic ......shops that exuded bursts of fragrance, and the rich and happy life of the people in the town was simply enviable; I didn't expect that now just a few years have passed, this king came here again, this place has become so unrecognizable, if it is not to see the familiar stone lion at the archway of the town, this king can not believe it, what he sees in front of him will be the same as the lively scenery that stays in his mind. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ling looked at Chu Xingyue, met her concerned eyes, held her hand tightly, and said, "You are right, now this king is the only hope for the people here, at this time, there is not much time for this king to ponder and remember; This king wants to stabilize this place, Jeju City, as soon as possible, so that Taiping Town can truly become a Taiping town where the people can live in peace and stability. ”

Listening to Zhao Ling's sincere and serious words, Chu Xingyue's eyes were faintly bright, "Zhao Ling, I believe in you, you will definitely be able to do it." ”

As soon as Chu Xingyue finished speaking, Yunxiao's voice came from outside the carriage, "Lord Wang, princess, my subordinates have arranged for the largest inn in the town to settle down, I don't know what else the prince has to order?" ”

Before Zhao Ling could say anything, Chu Xingyue shook his wrist lightly and asked, "Are we going to live in the inn?" ”

Zhao Ling thought that she didn't like to live in an inn outside, so he patted her shoulder comfortingly and comforted her.

"This king knows that he wants to wronged you, but there is no post house here, so he can only rest in the inn temporarily; But don't worry, this king will make arrangements for the clouds up and down, and you won't be able to suffer; We brought out a lot of things from the palace, and this king will let Chunxing prepare in advance after a while, whether it is covering utensils, we will use our own. ”

Chu Xingyue saw that Zhao Ling was arranging his life so meticulously, and while she was moved, she couldn't help but look at him with disgust, "Could it be that in your eyes, am I really the kind of canary who can't endure hardship and sin?" ”

Zhao Ling was stopped by her question.

He had never traveled with a woman, so he naturally didn't know what he needed to prepare for his woman outside; However, he is not stupid, he knows very well that the outside environment is not as good as Fuzhong, so he has tried his best to make Chu Xingyue's residence more comfortable, but he didn't expect that after doing so much, he would actually hear Chu Xingyue's question.

Was she rejoicing that he had prepared so much for her?

Or do you think he underestimated her, that's why he asked?

Looking at Zhao Ling, who looked puzzled and confused, Chu Xingyue smiled coquettishly, tilted her head lightly and leaned on his shoulder affectionately, and said in a delicate voice.

"Zhao Ling, I'm very happy that you did this for me, really, I'm really happy; It's just that I'm not the kind of woman who only knows how to be greedy for pleasure and doesn't understand anything. ”

Chu Xingyue fanned her long eyelashes and looked at Zhao Ling's handsome side face delicately, "I want you to ask a question, there are so many people in our group, can a small ordinary inn fit us?" ”

Zhao Ling didn't understand why she suddenly asked this, but told her the truth, "Naturally, it can't be pretended, this king just brought some people into the town, and the rest of the people camped on the spot." ”

"That's it, we obviously went out of Beijing together, why did we have to divide into two groups in the end, and it didn't matter what happened."

Zhao Ling finally understood the meaning of Chu Xingyue's words, was this little woman unhappy that she had treated her specially?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ling showed a doting smile, hugged the delicate person in his arms, and said with pity in his tone, "You have just been injured and poisoned, you must recuperate well at this time, how can this king bear to let you sleep in the open like the sergeants of the Gyeonggi battalion?" ”

Chu Xingyue knew that Zhao Ling was doting on her, and even spoiled her a little lawlessly many times, but she didn't expect that when he blurted out the words 'unbearable' one day, she was moved to tears.

This man still dares to say that he can't speak sweet words, and his sweet words can make her drown in it.

Chu Xingyue almost subconsciously grabbed his sleeve, and there was a thin mist under his eyes, "I know you're worried about me, but I'm also worried that you'll be criticized; When you leave Beijing, I don't know how many people are staring at your every move, I am afraid that I will affect you because of me, and after you return to the capital, you will be attacked for these things. ”

Zhao Ling tightened his grip on Chu Xingyue's slender waist and said, "If this king can't even protect his own woman, then it is better to be self-aware and withdraw from this battle for succession as soon as possible." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ling raised Chu Xingyue's chin and met her sparkling eyes, which was extremely exciting.

His gaze slowly moved down her beautiful eyes, and his hot eyes fell on her red and bright lips, and he just wanted to get up and do something, but immediately thought of her physical condition, and he held back again.

He closed his eyes fiercely, turned his friendship into affectionate movements, and gently rubbed Chu Xingyue's upturned nose with the tip of his nose, and his voice was so gentle that it was almost dripping, "This king knows that this king's Yue'er is a smart and tenacious person, and he never dares to underestimate you, but this king is distressed, as long as he can give you good care, he is not willing to easily wronged you." ”

With his words, even if she was really wronged, she wouldn't care, not to mention that since she left Beijing, she has never been wronged by his side.

Now that she knows his intentions, she naturally has no reason to open it again, just gently pinching the corner of his clothes, and said in a soft voice, "In the future, it is not allowed to do this again." ”

As long as Chu Xingyue can be coaxed to be happy, even if he asks Zhao Ling to pick the stars in the sky, I'm afraid he will be willing.

Seeing that it is rare for a beauty to show such a cooperative and obedient appearance at the moment, Zhao Ling will naturally rely on her in everything, busy responding to her words, and replied, "Okay, this king will listen to you." ”

Just as the two were talking, Yunxiao's voice came from outside again, "Lord, princess, the inn has arrived." ”

Chu Xingyue was helped out of the carriage by Zhao Ling, stepped on the carriage stool steadily, and walked down from the carriage with a slender and soft posture.

The innkeeper and the little servant who had been waiting outside the inn for a long time were prostrate on their knees, although they couldn't see their faces, but according to their descriptions at the moment, they could judge their awe of Zhao Ling and his party.

After all, it is a common people, and the biggest official he usually sees is the chief of the town, when will he be lucky enough to meet the nobles in Beijing, not to mention the prince of the dragon and the phoenix.

As long as he thought that such a character would be ushered in in the inn next, the innkeeper trembled with excitement, and kept whispering to himself in his heart that he must take good care of the nobles, and must not let the nobles feel a little neglectful.

Chu Xingyue was held by Zhao Ling, and was just about to walk towards the inn when suddenly, he heard a crisp chirp in his ears.

This chirp is extremely melodious, it seems to be the sound of some bird, and it is also like the music played by some instrument, but this sound comes and goes quickly, and when Chu Xingyue was about to listen carefully again, the sound suddenly disappeared, making it difficult for people to detect where this sound came from.

Zhao Ling saw Chu Xingyue suddenly stop and look left and right, thinking that something had happened, so he hurriedly came up and asked her in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Xingyue looked around, "What sound did you hear just now?" Nice kind of sound? ”

"Voice? ……”

Zhao Ling followed Chu Xingyue's gaze and looked around, and said, "This king didn't hear anything?" Yue'er, are you still not in good health and have auditory hallucinations? ”

Zhao Ling immediately looked at Chu Xingyue with nervous eyes.

Chu Xingyue looked at Zhao Ling with a nervous expression, but her expression was a little sneering, was it really an auditory hallucination?

No! It won't be an auditory hallucination.

The voice was clear, and though it was the first time she had heard it, it didn't feel unfamiliar to her.

Chu Xingyue smiled softly and relaxed at Zhao Ling, and said, "Don't think about it, my body has improved a lot, I won't be so weak, it's just ......."

Chu Xingyue glanced around again, and when her eyes fell on the figure behind her, her gaze suddenly froze.

Then, a brief panic appeared in her expression, but this panic only stayed on her face for a moment, and was quickly covered by Chu Xingyue.

She raised her head and smiled at Zhao Ling, changed her tone of voice and insisted, "Maybe I really heard it wrong, okay, I'm a little tired, let's go in first." ”

As soon as Zhao Ling heard Chu Xingyue say that she was tired, he immediately helped her walk towards the inn, and turned around from time to time to tell Chun Xing that she must take good care of Chu Xingyue.
