It was early in the morning, and the people in the shop had already gotten up, and it was very lively for people to come and go, either for breakfast or to leave. Passing by the people around Ling Xiao, there were always one or two strange eyes that gave her a few glances, and at this moment she didn't care about her external image, and walked closely with Lu Jing.

"Little Er, go get a basin of water." After Lu Jingxing finished speaking, he took Ling Xiao upstairs.

The rooms are on the third floor, and the interior is spacious and bright, and it looks comfortable.

"Sit down, your arm needs to be reset. It may hurt a little, but bear with it. Lu Jingxing pointed to the bamboo mat and said.

"You know how to heal?" Ling Xiao listened to him and sat down.

"Jianghu people, injuries are common, and mastering these is the most basic." Ling Xiao only heard a click, a sharp pain came, and then there was no feeling, Lu Jingxing put down her arm, and then she tried to lift it, but she moved freely, and it was no longer painful.

"Guest officer, the water is coming." Xiao Er knocked twice on the door, and then said.

"Come in. Let's prepare a porridge and two side dishes" Lu Jingxing got up and went to open the door.

"Okay, guest officer, let's get ready." The little two carefully put down the water, didn't look at it much, and closed the door by the way after going out.

"Wash your face first, and then tell me slowly what happened." Lu Jingxing said.

Ling Xiao slowly stretched his hand into the water, the wound on his arm felt pain with the movement of his fingers, and his movements became abnormal, and at this time, Lu Jingxing also noticed her strangeness.

"Your hand is injured too?" Lu Jingxing asked with concern.

Ling Xiao didn't hide it, the moment he lifted his sleeves, the injury on his arm was shocking, the wound was stained with water, and it was not treated, and the weather was so hot, it was already infected at the moment, and the flesh and blood were blurred, but it was even more serious at this time, and Lu Jingxing frowned.

"Who hurt you like this? The whip marks on the face, the wounds, and the strands of hair were the work of one man?" Lu Jingxing asked eagerly.

"I cut my hair to escape. As for this whip mark, it was also because I escaped twice and was caught and beaten. Ling Xiao said indifferently, as if the person who happened was not herself.

"What about those two arms?" Lu Jingxing asked again.

"I paddled it myself, and that night I was given an aphrodisiac, and only pain could keep me awake. The other hand was dropped. There was no ripple in Ling Xiao's words, but the more Lu Jingxing listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled.

"If you tell me who drugged you and who arrested you, I won't let him go." Lu Jingxing began to clean Ling Xiao's wounds, Ling Xiao listened to his words and shook his head: "These are not important, as long as you can keep your innocence, these are nothing." I'll settle this account myself in the future. ”

"Guest officer, the porridge you asked for is here." Xiao Er knocked on the door outside again.

"Come in." After Lu Jingxing finished speaking, Xiao Er pushed the door and came in.

"Put it here." Lu Jingxing pointed to the case in front of him and said.

The little second inadvertently saw the injury on Ling Xiao's arm, and a plate of side dishes was almost knocked over by him: "Guest officer, do you need a small one to ask for a doctor?" ”

"No need, you can get out." Lu Jingxing sprinkled the white powder on Ling Xiao's wound, and didn't look at Xiao Er, only told him to go out.

"This medicine works, don't worry." Lu Jingxing carefully wrapped the gauze around Ling Xiao's arm, and said when he was done.

"Thank you." Ling Xiao could only say these few words in the end.

"Drink the porridge first, and then get a good night's sleep. I'll go and ask the shopkeeper to prepare another room. Lu Jingxing's voice was much softer, but it was still cold, and Lu Jingxing knew that Ling Xiao didn't want to be in the same room with the man.

Ling Xiao listened to Lu Jingxing's words, and after eating, he lay down on the bed to rest, Ling Xiao didn't need to guard against him, and Ling Xiao felt that this person gave her an inexplicable sense of security, so she slept very peacefully, and when she woke up, the sun was already setting in the west.

There was silence in the room, with clean dresses by the bedside, incense burning, and the setting sun shining through the openwork window pages, casting shadows on the floor like diagonal chessboards. Ling Xiao gently pushed the window open, and the shadow on the ground disappeared in an instant, leaving only a piece of gold. When he woke up, Ling Xiao's whole person was a lot more relaxed.

Ling Xiao saw the scissors in the cabinet, and thought that he was in a hurry last night, and his hair was cut indiscriminately, and now he is just not in a hurry, and there is time. She brought scissors and carefully trimmed the ends.

It was the first time for Ling Xiao to cut her own hair, but she felt pretty good. In this way, no one will ever think that she is a native of North Vietnam, so that even if she goes out alone, there will be fewer bad people who will beat her up and will have some scruples.

"Ling Xiao, are you awake?" As soon as Ling Xiao's hair was cut halfway, Lu Jingxing asked outside the door.

"Come in." Ling Xiao thought that there was no way to repay those who ate him and used him now, and when he learned martial arts in the future, she would definitely repay his kindness when he could be self-reliant.

"Why do you cut your hair at this time?" Lu Jingxing came in and saw this scene, and couldn't help asking.

"Isn't it okay at this hour?" Ling Xiao heard that this person had to cut his hair by day and hour, but she didn't know the specific situation.

"This is the time when you want to cut your hair." Lu Jingxing snatched the scissors from Ling Xiao's hand.

"I don't care about that, the mood comes, anytime. I'm almost done trimming, give me back the scissors. ”

Ling Xiao felt that the ancients really had a lot of rules. However, Lu Jingxing still returned the scissors to her and watched the black hair fall to the ground one by one.

"Change your clothes, I'll take you downstairs for dinner. Your experience along the way must be unbearable, so I won't ask any more questions. "Lu Jingxing is not a curious person and knows that everyone has their own privacy.

Ling Xiao's hair was neatly trimmed, and she looked like a woman from the Central Plains Country at the moment, and Lu Jingxing was waiting for her outside the door to change her clothes.

Going downstairs again, there were many more people at the inn than in the morning, and it was not surprising that this hour was the time for dinner, so it was not surprising that there were more people.

"What do you want to eat?" They found a place to sit down, Lu Jingxing asked.

"Feel free." I can't even name these dishes, let alone order them.

Lu Jingxing said: "Okay. Then he said a few names to Xiao Er, who was waiting on the side.

"You promised to teach me martial arts, does it still count?" Halfway through the meal, Ling Xiao suddenly thought of this question and asked.

"Of course, we'll leave for Huizhou early tomorrow morning." Not long after Lu Jingxing's words were finished, there was a commotion outside the inn.

"Little Er, what's going on?" A middle-aged man at the opposite table asked.

"It's okay, the Zhang Mansion in the east of the city has lost a concubine and is looking for it everywhere! I've been looking for it three times on this street. "Xiao Er has nothing to do with himself.

"Zhang's Mansion is one of the most powerful in this city! It's a pity that the population is thin. "Someone is talking.

"This woman is really, she has a good life, but she has to run, and she doesn't know how to be blessed in the blessing." Someone else said.

"I heard that it is the concubine of the second master of Zhangfu, and I asked you to follow a sick seedling, I'm afraid you don't want to, right?" Someone retorted.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Listening to their discussions here, Lu Jingxing said to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was about to answer, a team of officers and soldiers broke in, Ling Xiao was very puzzled in his heart, but it was just a concubine, it was necessary to spend money to ask the officers and soldiers to work hard to mobilize the people.

Everyone was shocked by this scene, and the man at the head took a portrait and turned around, in order to let everyone see the appearance of the woman in the painting. Ling Xiao inadvertently glanced at this portrait, and was shocked, what kind of person is this Zhang Mansion looking for, the woman in the portrait has long hair to the ground, dressed in the royal costume of the North Yue Kingdom, with a childish face, and an innocent smile. Ling Xiao knew that it should be Zhong Liyuan when he was in the North Yue Kingdom, and these officers and soldiers were sent by the imperial court.

"Have you seen the person in this portrait? Our little sister of the horse master has a heavy reward when she finds it. The man said.

Everyone shook their heads. Ling Xiao had changed a lot from the portrait now, and she thought that even if she was sitting here, they might not be able to recognize her just by the portrait.

Soon, a well-dressed man and an attendant came in, and the man immediately walked over and replied respectfully: "Master Horse, looking for someone like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack, I have found so many places, but I still find nothing." The man looked embarrassed.

"Didn't you ask them one by one?" The man's face was haggard and slightly angry.

"Second son, don't worry, they did their best." The squire said.

"I've been looking for so many days, and there is no news at all, how can I not be in a hurry, Yuan'er is only fifteen years old, and if she is wandering alone, she will definitely suffer a lot." Ling Xiao turned her back to him at the moment, but the words were heard clearly, she thought that this should be Zhong Lihuan's second brother Zhong Lihuan, but she didn't expect her disappearance to alarm so many people, but how could Zhong Lihuan have a portrait of Zhong Lihuan when he was in Beiyue, which made Ling Xiao curious.

The person with the portrait in his hand began to ask one by one at the table, and finally the person walked to Lu Jingxing's desk and repeated the question, Lu Jingxing glanced at the portrait and shook his head to say that he had not seen it.

"There are also upstairs guest rooms, you can ask me one by one." After the person asked, he found nothing, and Zhong Lihuan said again.

Some of them immediately went upstairs.

Zhong Lihuan actually found the Central Plains Kingdom from the Nanzhuan Kingdom, Ling Xiao thought that it must have taken a lot of time, Ling Xiao felt that she was ashamed of the Yunhou Mansion no matter what.

"No one has seen it." Half an hour later, those people came downstairs, Zhong Lihuan sighed after hearing this, and finally a group of people went out in a big way.

The crowd began to talk again.

"In these years, how can I be embarrassed everywhere, and I am looking for people everywhere."

"Who's to say it isn't! A few days ago, when I went to do business in other places, I also encountered this kind of thing, but the four princes personally recognized people one by one there, but they didn't know that they had lost the identity of the woman. ”

"Just now, this group of officers and soldiers is from the Nanzhuan country."

"I'm full, let's go back to my room." Ling Xiao said to Lu Jingxing.

"Okay." Lu Jingxing nodded, got up and walked upstairs with Ling Xiao.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?" After returning to the room, Ling Xiao asked. Ling Xiao thought that he was such a witty person, how could he not guess that the person in the painting was her.

"If you want to tell me, then I will listen, if you don't want to tell me, then I won't ask. I'm not going to speculate. Lu Jingxing said bluntly.

"Then I'll tell you the cause and effect of the incident later." Ling Xiao said.

"In that Zhang Mansion where you were drugged?" Lu Jingxing asked this.

"Yes, but I don't want others to stand up for me, wait until I learn martial arts, and then solve this matter." Ling Xiao still has this attitude and wants to solve it himself.

"Just as you say." Lu Jingxing said.

The room was getting darker and darker, and Lu Jingxing said, "I slept all day during the day, there is no curfew tonight, I will take you out for a walk later." ”

"Can you help me find a veil?" Ling Xiao regretted throwing away the veil when he escaped from the Qinglou. There are people looking for her everywhere outside, with Lu Jingxing here, the people in Zhang's Mansion are easy to do, the key is that if you meet Zhong Lihuan head-on, you will suffer.

"You wait, I'll let Xiao Er prepare." Lu Jingxing went out.

There are quite a lot of people on the street, with yellow hair hanging down and wandering leisurely, and the large and small shops on the street are still not closed, and the lights are bright.

Ling Xiao and Lu Jingxing were walking side by side on the street, and when they were close to the lake, they saw Zhong Lihuan, who was standing there alone, looking at the lake thoughtfully, Ling Xiao didn't know how long he had been looking for her. Ling Xiao thought that maybe Zhong Limu was also going crazy looking for her, but Ling Xiao thought that time could erase these, and after some time, they would naturally give up.

Lu Jingxing saw Ling Xiao stop still, just looking at Zhong Lihuan's back in a daze, and also stopped, "I hope you think carefully about whether to go back with him or go with me." Once you miss him, it will not be easy to say goodbye. Lu Jingxing didn't make Ling Xiao's decision, but seriously reminded Ling Xiao to think it through.

Zhong Lijia is warm, Ling Xiao has deeply felt it in the past few months, she is also deeply reluctant to her current parents and her third brother, but she still can't face the intrigues and tricks in the Jundu, not afraid, but tired.

"Let's go." After pausing for a moment, Ling Xiao turned his head and said to Lu Jingxing.

"Hmm." Lu Jingxing didn't ask much, and left with Ling Xiao.

They then got into an open-top boat with two lanterns hanging from the lake, and the boat slowly left the shore, the surface of the lake was rippled by the bottom of the boat.

"I want to hear your flute." For some reason, Ling Xiao suddenly wanted to hear his melodious flute.

"Sit down." Lu Jingxing took out the piccolo and blew it slowly, and the boatman, who was about forty or fifty years old, glanced at them and rowed the boat more slowly with a smile.

Ling Xiao put his fingers into the water and stroked them gently, the sound of the flute suddenly stopped, and Lu Jingxing said, "Be careful of the injuries on your hands, you can't get water again." ”

"It's just that my fingers are wet, and it's fine." Ling Xiao was still caressing in the water.

"What a blessing the girl!" The boatman smiled.

How could Ling Xiao not understand the words of the boat family, Ling Xiao said lightly: "Old man, you misunderstood. This person will be my master right away. ”

"I just promised to teach you, I didn't say to be your master." Lu Jingxing said.

"Anything goes." Ling Xiao didn't care about that.

"You young people are getting more and more sophisticated." The boatman smiled with a sigh and said no more.

Ling Xiao and Lu Jingxing also stopped talking, and the flute sounded again.

That night, they didn't return to the inn until late.

Soon after dawn, there was a knock on the door in Ling Xiao's room, and today Ling Xiao was going to leave for Huizhou with Lu Jingxing, so she got up very early and had already packed up at the moment.

"Ling Xiao." Lu Jingxing called her.

"I've packed up, come in." Ling Xiao said.

"Grab a bite to eat and we'll be on our way later." Lu Jingxing walked in with porridge and steamed buns.

"When I get there, I still want to learn the flute, can you teach me?" The sound of the flute played by Lu Jingxing Ling Xiao felt really beautiful, and the sound seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes. When you get there, you can learn whatever you want. Ling Xiao felt that what he said was a bit excessive, but he also felt that he was not like a person who liked to talk big, and he probably knew a lot of things.

"Let's go when we're done." Lu Jingxing saw that Ling Xiao had finished drinking the porridge and said.

Ling Xiao glanced at the end of the street, only to see the morning sun rising from the east, red like a fireball, and golden light sprinkled all over the roof.

There was a carriage parked in front of the inn, and the horse on the carriage was very familiar, it was Lu Jingxing's mount, Ling Xiao didn't expect that Lu Jingxing would buy a carriage.

"It's a bit of a long way, it is estimated that it will take two or three days to arrive, and I am afraid that you will feel unwell. Let's get in the car. Lu Jingxing explained to Ling Xiao, he knew that Ling Xiao couldn't ride a horse, and he definitely didn't want to ride a horse with him.

Ling Xiao sat in the carriage, and Lu Jingxing naturally became the coachman. There were not many pedestrians on the streets, and the horse-drawn carriages ran freely in the streets, carrying the morning sun on their backs, and finally disappeared at the end of the street, and soon left the city.
