“…… Come in. Lu Zhaoling's slightly hoarse voice was unexpectedly heard in the room.

I thought she would want to be alone for a while.

Yang Che worriedly pushed open the hidden door.

Lu Zhaoling sat at the table, his eyes a little red.

"Are you alright?" Yang Che asked a little crampedly.

"Not so good." Lu Zhaoling barely squeezed out a wry smile.

Yang Che wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start. Today's incident also involves Lu Zhaoling's identity, and he is afraid that mentioning something that should not be mentioned will make Lu Zhaoling embarrassed.

"I want to ...... You may need someone to accompany you. After hesitating for a long time, Yang Che said something like this.

"Thank you."

"No...... If you feel sad, you might as well tell me something, and it will feel better to talk to someone...... I'm not going to ask you anything superfluous. ”

"Yang Che, why do you believe me like that?"

"Didn't you believe in me and help me in the first place?"

Lu Zhaoling was silent for a while.

"The Three Princes...... Is it important to you? Yang Che couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm." Lu Zhaoling nodded, "The two of them, the third prince and the third princess, are my best friends. ”

"Am I your friend, Zhao Ling?"

Lu Zhaoling looked at Yang Che. They have known each other for a short time, but they have already had a friendship between life and death. Yang Che followed her on adventures twice without hesitation, how could he not be regarded as her friend?

Now, Lu Zhaoling doesn't want to hide so much from Yang Che anymore.

"Of course you're a good friend of mine. I have many things to say to you. Lu Zhaoling took a sip of the bitter tea that had been cooled, and his expression was a little sour, "Actually, I am ...... Princess Tongguang, I don't know if you've heard of it. When I was seven years old, I was presented to the monarch of Anping by my father from the kingdom of Liu, and as a righteous daughter, I was actually a proton, and I grew up in the Anping Imperial Palace after that. ”

Lu Zhaoling slowly told his life experience, and Yang Che listened quietly.

She told Yang Che how she met Bai Heng and Li Zhu'er, and then Bai Heng rescued Chu Sheng, married Li Zhu'er, and then went to the autumn hunt...... and how Bai Heng was murdered by Bai Xi twice and three times.

It's just that Bai Xi imprisoned her, she couldn't say it.

By the time Lu Zhaoling finished talking about her experience in Anping, the sky was already starting to turn gray.

After listening to this, Yang Che digested quietly for a long time.

"Then you escaped from the Anping Palace, and now you want to return to your hometown in the Western Regions?" He asked Lu Zhaoling.

"I ...... My father and mother were killed by my uncle usurping power, and I can't go back. I went to the Western Regions to find my brother who was outcast. ”

"What happens when you find it?"

“…… I do not know. Lu Zhaoling shook his head, "But the Kingdom of Lu was ruled by my uncle, and now it is an enemy of Anping, I escaped from the palace, and now there is no place to live." ”

Lu Zhaoling's identity is far more complicated than Yang Che imagined.

The princess of the dead country...... Now he can only venture to the Western Regions to find his brother who he may be able to rely on.

I don't know what her brother's situation is now, and when their brothers and sisters get together, will Lu Zhaoling be involved in the battle for the restoration of the country...... I don't know how long the war between the Western Regions and Anping will last......

This journey is indeed predictably difficult.

Yang Che sighed lightly in his heart.

"I don't want to bother you."

The dangers that are likely to be faced in the future, Lu Zhaoling knows it in his heart. Now that she has learned the news of Bai Heng's murder, she may still be an enemy of the second prince.

"You don't want to bother me with such things, you've said it several times." Yang Che seemed to be a little angry, "Now that I know all of your life history and the risks you will face in the future, then I will say this last time." ”

"If you think I'm in the way and don't want to be followed by me, just tell me and I'll leave immediately. But if you say you don't want to bother me, you just look down on me and don't treat me as a friend. I, Yang Che, am such a big person, and I know what I'm doing. I want to share the ups and downs with you, and I want to help you share your worries and sorrows, which is not called burdening. If I'm really your friend, don't drive me away anymore. ”

Yang Che's words came from the bottom of his heart.

“…… I know. Lu Zhaoling said softly.

"What are you going to do next?" Yang Che asked.

Lu Zhaoling was silent for a while.

When she learned the news of Bai Heng's death, she was shocked and angry, and she couldn't wait to find Bai Heng immediately and slash this devil.

But Shen Fengjiu's words make a lot of sense.

Now, in any respect, she is not Bai Xi's opponent.

"I'm going to ...... Continue west. ”

Yang Che, who heard this answer, was a little surprised, and he thought that Lu Zhaoling would definitely go to seek revenge on the second prince.

Lu Zhaoling seemed to sense Yang Che's reaction, and whispered a little unwillingly: "Now I don't have the ability to deal with the second prince. ”

Yang Che nodded.

Lu Zhaoling continued: "When I was in the cottage, because of my impulsiveness and recklessness, Li Yu was injured. I don't want anything like this to happen again. In the future, I will protect my companions first. ”

The deaths of Bai Heng and Li Zhu'er still made her heart like a knife.

Father and mother were far away in Liuguo, Bai Heng and Li Zhuer were far away in the palace, and when they were killed, Lu Zhaoling couldn't do anything. But at least, she can work hard to become strong and protect the people around her.

Yang Che, An Nian, Xiaohua, and ...... Shen Fengjiu.

Even if Shen Fengjiu is half of her master, maybe she will not be as strong as Shen Fengjiu in her life, but she doesn't want to rely on it blindly.

Protecting her companions who are willing to follow her is Lu Zhaoling's most resolute belief now.

-

Jinzhou.

Shen Lingyan slept until three o'clock in the morning as usual, then lazily got up from the bed, swayed to the table, and began his daily divination.

He drew back and forth on the yellow paper in front of him for a while, and then pinched his fingers and calculated. Half an hour passed, he looked at the pattern on the yellow paper, and smacked his lips with a sad face.

It seems that today, a distinguished guest has come to the door......

In the afternoon, the second prince came to Jinzhou City and rested in a courtyard of the Jinzhou prefect.

"I remember, you once found out that Shen Fengjiu is from Jinzhou." Bai Xi stood by a secluded pond, staring at the water.

"Yes, Your Highness." A familiar dark shadow appeared behind him.

"This Jinzhou neighborhood doesn't look like there is any hidden place to cultivate immortals. Out of the West City Gate, I heard that there is a very low mountain, and there should be no tall people hidden. Bai Xi speculated.

"Your Highness is very true. That Shen Fengjiu is very likely to be hidden in this Jinzhou City. The shadow said in a hoarse voice.

"Then follow me out into the streets." Bai Xi smiled lightly.

At dusk, Shen Lingyan returned to the Shen Mansion and saw a young man standing in front of the door, gently shaking a folding fan in his hand.

When the boy heard the footsteps, he looked back at the alley, and when he saw Shen Lingyan, a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed: "Presumably, Your Excellency is Shen Banxian." ”

Shen Lingyan snatched a handful of his beard, staggered forward, and said unashamedly: "That's right, it's the old man." ”
