On the open road, horse-drawn carriages galloped.

After a night of pranayama, Maple's injuries were almost healed, and the two flaming horses were recovered.

Inside the carriage, the atmosphere is somewhat delicate.

The martyred scholar did not leave, and found an escort to stay. With his identity, Princess Lingzhi naturally wouldn't let him sit outside the carriage, so he was invited to sit in the carriage. However, Mei Qiuniang was obviously not happy, and pulled Princess Lingzhi to whisper along the way, deliberately snubbing him.

On the side, Ling Yun lay quietly, his breath was steady, his face was ruddy, and after a night of cultivation, he could no longer see any injuries.

Ling Yun had already woken up, but he felt the embarrassment of the atmosphere in the carriage, so he simply continued to pretend to be asleep.

Last night was indeed dangerous, the grimace man struck with all his strength, almost letting him fall, but fortunately, the vital point of his body was protected by the Five Elements Lock Demon Tower, so he was not fatally injured. And the nameless exercise is also quite magical, overnight, the injury was repaired, plus Princess Lingzhi fed him a lot of precious pills, but it was a blessing in disguise, and he had broken through to the fourth layer of qi refining.

"Aunt Mei, what is the origin of the person who wore the grimace mask last night, not only the magic stone, but also such a powerful concealment technique, that even you and Uncle Fallen didn't find out?" Princess Lingzhi suddenly opened her mouth and asked Mei Qiuniang.

"To be able to rank as a god, it's definitely not an unknown person, but I don't have the slightest impression of this person, it's strange. Mei Qiuniang said, with a look of doubt in her eyes.

The scholar in distress on the side had a slight flash in his eyes, and said with some uncertainty: "I feel that person's swordsmanship is a bit of a shadow of the Sword Pavilion." ”

"The Sword Pavilion of Muzhou Sword Immortal City?" Princess Lingzhi asked.

The martyred scholar nodded and said, "When I was traveling in Muzhou before, I visited the Sword Pavilion and fought with their young pavilion master, so I have some impressions. However, the Sword Pavilion is the most important in cultivating the heart and paying attention to fairness and fairness, so it should not come to intercept Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"It's hard to say, the Liu family in Sword Immortal City is the mother family of the four princes. The Liu family has been operating in Sword Immortal City for many years, and they can get along well with the Sword Pavilion, how can there be no catty in this. I heard that the four princes also came to Yunzhou. Mei Qiuniang didn't say it explicitly, but she was obviously more skeptical.

The scholar in distress nodded, although Mei Qiuniang's words were a little extreme, but they were not unreasonable, and then looked at Princess Lingzhi and asked, "Does the princess have thoughts?"

Princess Lingzhi shook her head, a little stunned, and said: "Except for my sixth brother, there is also the third brother who has no quarrel with the world, everyone else may make a move, and they may not make a move, what is the point of knowing who it is." ”

Born in an imperial family, he doesn't know mortal feelings.

The scholar in distress naturally understood Princess Lingzhi's sorrow, sighed slightly in his heart, and did not speak.

Mei Qiuniang on the side also looked pity, took Princess Lingzhi's hand and stroked it, but then her face turned cold, and she said to the scholar in distress: "Don't tell me quickly, who invited you here!"

Hearing this, the scholar in distress looked a little helpless, and said: "Qiu Niang, I have promised the other party not to reveal my identity, I really can't say it." Moreover, my friend was also commissioned by someone and did not know the identity of the person behind the scenes. ”

"Aunt Mei, you don't have to be embarrassed by your uncle. Fortunately, the other party doesn't know the friendship between the two of you, otherwise if you change to someone else, I'm afraid the consequences will be more serious. Princess Lingzhi persuaded. Yesterday, with Mei Qiuniang and the fallen scholar, the grimace man would retreat, otherwise it would be difficult to say the result if he shot again.

Hearing this, Mei Qiuniang looked slightly annoyed, patted Princess Lingzhi, and said, "Lingzhi can't talk nonsense, I don't have any friendship with him." ”

The scholar smiled awkwardly, pretending to look to the side casually, and reviewed Ling Yun's injury.

"Ahem!" Ling Yun knew that he couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore, so he coughed dryly twice and slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing Lingyun wake up, Princess Lingzhi's face turned happy, and she hurriedly asked, "Zhuang Gongzi is awake, does he feel unwell?"

Hearing this, Ling Yun sat up and said slightly: "Thank you princess for your concern, it's just some skin injuries, it's no big deal." ”

"If it weren't for Zhuang Gongzi coming forward last night, Lingzhi would have fallen, and the grace of saving his life would not be repaid, so please accept Lingzhi's worship. After Princess Lingzhi finished speaking, she bowed directly.

The two gods looked at it, how dare Ling Yun be worshiped by the princess, and hurriedly held it up, and said, "The princess has tormented Zhuang Zhi." Read the sage books, learn the way of the gentleman, see the road is uneven, and draw the sword to help, the princess does not have to take it to heart. ”

Princess Lingzhi insisted on worshipping, but she was held by Ling Yun, so she couldn't worship it, so she had to give up.

"Since you are a benevolent father, please don't stick to these red tapes, just call me Ganoderma lucidum. Princess Lingzhi said.

Ling Yun didn't dare to be polite, but he didn't want to dwell too much on this topic, so he turned his eyes and said, "In that case, let's call Miss Seventeen!"

"That's fine. Princess Lingzhi nodded, at least kinder than the princess's title.

It's no wonder that Princess Lingzhi cares so much about the title, she was born in the emperor's family and knows the importance of etiquette, but if she recounts the etiquette, there will be more rustiness between the two, which is not what she wants to see.

Seeing that the two finished chatting, Mei Qiuniang on the side suddenly opened her mouth and asked Ling Yun: "Zhuang Gongzi, I saw you make a move last night, and you have extraordinary powers, I don't know what sect you come from, and who you are taught by?"

"Back to the predecessors, the family teacher is a wandering person, and he is only destined to pass on some skills, if you really want to talk about it, I have never known the name of the teacher in the next. Ling Yun knew that Mei Qiuniang wanted to find out where he came from, but what he had learned in this body was really hard to explain, so he could only find a reason to prevaricate.

Hearing this, Mei Qiuniang snorted lightly, no matter whether Ling Yun's words were true or not, listening to this meaning, she obviously wouldn't say it. Fortunately, Ling Yun did save Princess Lingzhi, but there would be no problem, and she didn't dig deeper.

When Ling Yun woke up, he was most happy that he was a scholar in distress, and finally had someone to talk to. Ling Yun was also very cooperative, and kept asking for advice along the way, which not only resolved the embarrassment of the fallen scholar, but also understood a lot of doubts in cultivation.

......

After another half a day, a fierce scuffle blocked the carriage's way.

On one side is a caravan, on the other side is a mountain bandit, and they are fighting fiercely.

Feng Bo stopped at a distance, and everyone got out of the carriage and watched from a distance.

There are many bandits, and the attack is also very fierce, but the formation is a little chaotic. On the other hand, on the caravan side, although there are not many guards, they attack and defend calmly, and they advance and retreat well-founded, which is obviously not an ordinary caravan.

"Miss, do you want to make a move?" asked Maple.

Before Princess Lingzhi could speak, Mei Qiuniang said first: "Take a look first, be careful of deception." ”

The fallen scholar also nodded and said, "This caravan doesn't feel simple. ”

Princess Lingzhi didn't say anything, but looked at Ling Yun and asked, "What does Gongzi Zhuang think?"

"This caravan is indeed a bit strange, those guards are not strong, but they are well-trained, and there is no panic in the case of less to more, and ordinary caravans will definitely not be able to do this. Ling Yun expressed his opinion, paused for a moment, and added: "However, regardless of whether the caravan is strange or not, those mountain bandits are real mountain bandits. ”

When Princess Lingzhi heard this, she understood what Ling Yun meant, and then said, "There is Lao Fengbo." ”

"But by the orders of the young lady. Hearing this, Feng Bo did not hesitate at all, took out his horsewhip and flew towards the battlefield.

"I'm going to help too. The fallen scholar said, and then flew to follow.

The two masters joined, the battle situation changed instantly, the mountain bandits directly dispersed, and under the siege of the caravan, they were either killed or captured, and the battle ended in a blink of an eye.

The martyred scholar and Feng Bo returned to the carriage, and together they came with a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper.

The middle-aged shopkeeper originally looked calm and didn't care too much about Ling Yun and the others, but after seeing Princess Lingzhi, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed, and said, "Li Xiao, the young city lord of Xima City, see Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Princess Lingzhi was a little surprised, looked at Li Xiao carefully, and asked, "Do you know me?"

Seeing this, Li Xiao immediately reacted, tore his beard, wiped his face, and instantly a handsome young man appeared in front of everyone.

"Last year, on the birthday of the monarch, I went to the imperial city of Zhongzhou with my father, and I was fortunate to see the princess's face, so I recognized it. Li Xiao explained.

Princess Lingzhi nodded, then pointed to the caravan and asked, "I don't know what the young city lord is?"

"Recently, there have been frequent activities of mountain bandits, and caravans have often been robbed, so I brought people to disguise themselves as caravans to lure mountain bandits to attack. This is the fifth time this month, but I didn't expect there to be so many mountain bandits this time, but fortunately, I met Her Royal Highness the princess and was able to save the day. Li Xiao said.

"The young city lord risked his life and personally fought against the bandits, and Lingzhi admired it. Princess Lingzhi said, quite approving of Li Xiao's behavior.

Hearing this, Li Xiao hurriedly replied: "The princess has won the award, and it is within her duty to protect the peace of the party." I don't know if the princess is here, but what is the important matter? If there is any need, but please command, Li Xiao will definitely go all out. ”

"It's not important, we're going to Linhai City, and we just happen to be passing by here. Princess Lingzhi didn't hide it, last night's battle, she was basically sure that her whereabouts had been leaked.

Hearing that the Lingzhi Duke was going to Linhai City, Li Xiao's face was overjoyed, and he immediately said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it's really a coincidence, I will also go to Linhai City in two days, if Your Highness doesn't mind, you can go to Horse City to rest for two days, and Li Xiao will escort His Highness to go at that time." As if worried about Princess Lingzhi's refusal, Li Xin's face was bitter, and he added: "If my father knows that Her Royal Highness the princess is here, he will be very happy, if I don't invite her, I'm afraid that I will pick my skin, and I hope Her Royal Highness the princess will understand." ”

Li Xiao's expression was exaggerated, which made Princess Lingzhi couldn't help but smile, glanced at Ling Yun again, and said, "It's okay, just wash up in the city, then there will be Lao Shao City Lord." ”

Princess Lingzhi's movements, Li Xiao saw in his eyes, originally a person named Hanako was able to stand next to Princess Lingzhi, which made him very strange, but now it seems that Princess Lingzhi still seems to pay more attention.

Of course, Princess Lingzhi didn't introduce it, and Li Xiao didn't want to ask, so after commanding his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, he led everyone towards Pony City.
