Chapter Ninety-Two: Straight Hook
So what do you think he came for? β
"How do I know that?" Bai Ling said softly, "But if he wants to fight, it must be because the imperial court is ready and wants to make peace, and it is most likely that Da Zhou can't afford to fight now...... I wouldn't be the main cause, and he wouldn't be the main cause in this kind of thing. β
A smile appeared in Lan Zhijun's eyes, "Are you saying good things for him?" β
"You don't seem to know your nephew." Bai Ling propped up his face with a smile, "If you are too light, you will be killed." β
"Don't you want to go back?" Lan Zhijun said softly, "Go back to your family." β
Bai Ling was silent for a long time before he whispered, "I can't go back...... Right, if I turn back at this time, won't things go back to square one again? And Chen Yicong may hate me now, and deceive him again and again......"
The two were silent for a while, and Bai Ling looked at Lan Zhijun, "Speaking of which, Lan Zhijun should ...... I wouldn't be willing to be a military advisor here in Aquili for the rest of my life, would I? β
Lan Zhijun did not answer.
The answer to this question is all too obvious.
Bai Ling looked at Lan Zhijun, suddenly soothed his eyebrows, and sighed lightly as if he was sighing, "...... Ah, I see. β
"What do you understand again?"
"Lan Zhijun has locked me up here for the past two days because she thought it was ...... I'm still working for the court of the Zhou people? β
As soon as this suspicion was raised, Bai Ling showed an expression of sudden realization.
She continued, "So Lan Zhijun, you came to me tonight to use Chen Yicong to remind me not to have illusions...... Isn't it? No matter what I do for the court now, if I go back, everything will be in vain. β
Lan Zhijun still didn't answer, but silence was also an answer.
Bai Ling withdrew his gaze and laughed.
"In that case," Bai Ling whispered, "why are you ......?"
Halfway through her words, her voice drifted through the air.
After thinking like this for a moment, Bai Ling got up and went to the ground, her feet on the ground almost silent, her light new shirt hanging at her sidesβall her clothes had been changed to prevent Bai Ling from hiding weapons around her.
Out of Lan Zhijun's personal aesthetics, these clothes are all styles of Zhou people, Lan Zhijun looked at the long sleeves of the gauze skirt, and seemed to be a little distracted for a while.
But Bai Ling had already walked up to him and whispered, "Look up." β
Lan Zhijun raised her head.
For a moment he thought that Bai Ling was probably going to lean down to kiss him, but Bai Ling stood there looking down on him.
"What for?"
"Didn't you say we were alike?" Bai Ling looked at him, "After such a long time of wandering, I want to live like a person, I want to ride a horse to the snowfield...... Is this kind of thing difficult for you to understand? β
Lan Zhijun's eyes were a little incredulous, "Are you ...... Think so? β
Bai Ling came closer, her fingers slowly stroking over Lan Zhijun's shoulder, and finally stopped behind his ear, gently rubbing Lan Zhijun's hair.
The eyes of the two were firmly glued together, and time froze for a moment.
Bai Ling slowly leaned over at this time, Lan Zhijun half-lowered his eyes, he felt that Bai Ling was almost about to kiss his ear, but the expected thing did not happen for a long time.
Bai Ling's throat moved slightly, and he chuckled softly, "Is this how you feel scared?" β
Lan Zhijun finally came back to his senses at this point, but his expression never changed.
He still calmly lifted the teacup in his hand as before, took a sip, and put the cup back on the table.
Then he got up in silence and left the place with unhurried steps as usual.
The wind and snow quickly extinguished the heat he had brought out of the Bailing tent.
He took a dozen steps outside, and then his pace slowed down, to the point where he almost stopped.
He couldn't help but look behind himβthe tent that was still lit up just now was already dark again. He could probably imagine that Bai Ling was probably back on the low bed, curled up in the dark.
In the wind and snow, Lan Zhijun stared at the tent.
In any case, he had already gotten the answer he wanted on this trip - there must be an ulterior secret in Bai Ling's heart, and this secret must be extremely deadly.
If there is anything in Bai Ling's body that is not perfect and flawed, it is probably what she did tonight...... It's a little intriguing.
Of course, the real Burling would not do such a thing.
But Lan Zhijun still couldn't help laughing, compared to the pale and dying Bai Ling, now this woman who doesn't know what bad ideas she has is obviously cuter.
"Is this what you're scared of?"
Somehow, this sentence suddenly came to Lan Zhijun's mind again - he didn't have time to think about many things, and he didn't know what kind of expression he showed at that time.
"Strategist, you'd better go back quickly." The entourage on the side whispered in golden language, he had always been a little afraid of this Zhou man who was not full of joy and anger, and was quite trusted by Aquili, "If you get sick from the cold here, Your Highness will definitely be polite to us-"
"Don't speak." Lan Zhijun said expressionlessly, "I'm thinking about things. β
The entourage nearby was a little embarrassed, but they really didn't dare to say anything more.
In the wind, Lan Zhijun suddenly understood a little, why the rumored Hengyuan Jun likes yin and cold, in such cold, it seems that his boiling mind will be able to be in a certain state of peace.
He was a little anxious to see what kind of uncontrollable mess Bai Ling was planning to make, but whatever it was, he would dismantle the conspiracy with his own hands.
"I look scared." Lan Zhijun muttered in a low voice, dropping the sentence without a beginning or an end.
He laughed again, and his steps returned to their previous speed.
Not only do I want to see you scared, but I also want to see your incredulous, frustrated, and remorseful......
Wait, Bailling.
β¦β¦
The next few days were calm.
The people in the Zhou camp were anxious for many days, but later they heard that Bai Ling did not seem to be embarrassed, but was detained alone not far from the Zhou people's military division, and everyone was also relieved.
Occasionally, someone came with the news that at dusk, someone at the border stable of the Aquili camp had seen Bai Ling and the Zhou military advisor standing together and chatting, and Bai Ling's expression looked gentle, not like he was being coerced
The people did not believe it, and it was not until the fifteenth of February, when Aquili left the camp and headed for the national capital, that everyone saw Bai Ling and Lan Zhijun riding together, and the two of them laughed and left with Aquili's horse team.
After the departing caravan, many of them spat viciously in the direction Aquili had left.
Quan was blind before!
