"All the way from Zilin, until entering the Sili area, nothing too big happened, but when the convoy was about to set foot on Pingyangdu, the pontoon bridge collapsed, if it wasn't for General Zuo Mou coming in time, I'm afraid..."

Cai Xia lowered her head, a little afraid to look at Wang Xuanling's back, she is a shadow, although it is just a code name, but it can be seen from the literal meaning that it is not trivial.

"Go on."

After listening to Caixia's words, Wang Xuanling replied seemingly lightly, but there was already a trace of turmoil in his heart.

Although it is just three simple words, Cai Xia has inherited the Shadow Guard for more than three years, whether it is from her predecessors, or she has been inseparable for three years, and the truth she has realized tells herself that Wang Xuanling is already angry.

"Genus... Subordinates guessed that this must be a ghost on the left side, thinking that although the Pingyang Bridge was originally built in the Northern Qi Dynasty, it has played a significant role in both traffic and strategy for a hundred years. ”

"Not to mention the kings of my Daxin Dynasty, only in the first year of Qingli and the seventh year of Qingli, the Ministry of Industry spent a lot of money to repair the Pingyang Bridge for a month, and most of the bridges were made of silkworm wood from the South China Sea, and its hardness was comparable to that of rock."

"It stands to reason that the silkworm wood can protect the bridge body from rotting for a hundred years, but such a strong fortification was crushed because of a sudden heavy snowfall, which is simply an insult to the efficiency of the Ministry of Industry.

Cai Xia's eloquent talk really made Wang Xuanling listen to it, but for Cai Xia's only looking at the surface, it is obvious that Wang Xuanling, who is like an old fox, sees it more far-reaching.

"Hmph, a bunch of sour Confucians, all day long are either chanting poetry and making fun, or thinking about the destruction of the law and the country's industrial defense, it's really good, the East Palace has raised such a group of waste, for the prince, it's really a great joy."

"But since you're pointing the finger at the tiger, I don't know if you... Are you ready to be eaten by the tigers? ”

Although Wang Xuanling said it lightly, judging from the crushed jade pendant in his hand, Wang Xuanling's heart was not calm.

"By the way, Lord, there is one more thing."

Thinking of the scene she had seen in the convoy before, Cai Xia thought about it carefully and said it.

"Say."

To put it succinctly, Wang Xuanling did not have any superfluous actions because of Cai Xia's words.

Instead, with a kind face, through the gauze on the window, he quietly stared at the brightly lit general's mansion downstairs in a daze, sometimes smiling, sometimes serious.

"When the convoy passed through Wanliang Mountain, the eldest lady rescued two strangers, both dressed as scholars, one looked very shrewd, and the other looked a little stupid."

"But for some reason, the eldest lady seems to have a soft spot for that stupid person, I saw it clearly in Steward Li's car, and the eldest lady also sent Wang Ying to send a package to that person, although I don't know what is inside, but I smell the fragrance of Yun'er."

As Cai Xia said this, she had already raised her head and looked directly at Wang Xuanling's back, waiting for the Lord to continue to ask.

"Yun'er tea... What is the name of the person who was sent to him? Shiya would not give such a valuable item to a stranger for no reason. ”

Hearing the word Yun'er, Wang Xuanling turned his head abruptly, staring at Cai Xia with sharp eyes, the kind of cold eyes that were enough to kill people, and Cai Xia's scalp was numb for a while.

"It's... Back to the Lord, because of your advice, the subordinates did not dare to get too close to the car of the two young ladies, and could only live far away in the car of Steward Li, so I don't know the details of this person..."

Speaking of this, Cai Xia had already knelt on one knee and bowed at Wang Xuanling's feet.

"You're doing a good job, get up, go and get the lotus."

Looking down at Cai Xia who was kneeling on one knee, Wang Xuanling calmed down his heart, returned to Gu Bo's state of not being shocked, appeased Cai Xia, and sent him away.

After Cai Xia left, Wang Xuanling stood by the window with his back hand, staring at His Excellency's white general's mansion motionlessly, muttering in his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking about.

The pavilion was quiet, except for the cold light emitted by the candlelight on both sides of the glass, there was nothing beating.

......

The next morning, the sky was bright.

A ray of sunlight playfully came out of the crack in the unclosed window, and happened to hit the face of a young man who was not very handsome, but unusually attractive, and paved his ruddy face with a mysterious luster.

Bang, bang, bang –

With a rhythmic knock on the door, the voice of Guo Er, the shopkeeper, came from outside the door, but listening to its high tone, it seemed to be a little more attentive than yesterday.

"I wonder if you can be in the house? The little one follows Guo Gongzi's instructions, your wine and food are ready, can you open the door and let the little one serve you? ”

Lin Ling, who was sleeping soundly at this time, was already itching the tip of his nose that was teased by the warm sun, and at this moment, when he heard Guo Er shouting like this, where could he still sleep, he suddenly opened his hazy eyes.

"If the second brother is busy, let's put the food in front of the door first, a certain family has not been freshened up, I'm afraid it will take some time to take care of it."

Originally, Lin Ling wanted to squint for a while, but he heard that Guo Er was still waiting outside, although that was the responsibility of his shopkeeper, but after all, Lin Ling was not Guo Quan, and it was very difficult for him to put up a score.

"Don't worry about it, it's not tight, there's nothing to take care of early in the morning, the guest officer just keeps busy with you, and the little one is waiting outside the door, but the weather is cold, and the wine and food are easy to be cold, so I'll go back and warm up with you again..."

Guo Er's words were beautiful, but before he could turn around and leave with the food, Lin Ling had already opened the door and took the plate from Guo Erzhong with a smile on his face.

"Distinguished guests... You are..."

Guo Er looked at the water droplets on Lin Ling's face that had not been wiped clean, and his heart was moved, although he had roughly guessed that Lin Ling just washed his face, he still couldn't help but ask.

"You don't have to be hot, it's good, it's just that the second brother doesn't have to make it so hearty next time, Lin can't eat it all at once, you must know that it's difficult, if you waste food, wouldn't it be painful."

Lin Ling said this, already brought the food to the square table, turned to the huge floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror, and carefully combed his appearance.

"Childe is really a wizard of the world, Guo Er is taught, if Childe has any needs in the future, but it doesn't matter, as long as I Guo Er knows, or can do it, I will definitely leave no room for it."

Looking at Lin Ling's actions, Guo Er really felt what a gentleman was, compared with the sons of those high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing, it was really a world of difference.

"The little second brother praised it, if there is any doubt, Lin Ling will definitely ask for advice."

After grooming up, Lin Ling felt much refreshed, and even the tone of talking to Guo Er was much softer.

"In this way, then I won't disturb the son, if there is any command, just shout to the hall."

After speaking, Guo Er consciously exited the door, and did not forget to help Lin Ling close the door when he left.
