The third prince was taken aback, and said in his heart, I was afraid that Zhang Xiaolu's proposal scared her, and now that she was leaving, he was naturally reluctant, and immediately said: "Dongwu is worried about what Zhang Xiaolu said?" That's not Xiao Wang's intention, but Zhang Xiaolu's own opinion, please don't mind Dongwu, you can rest assured, otherwise, Xiao Wang will be uneasy, and now that there is chaos outside, you are a single woman, where can you go? ”

Ling Dongwu looked at Xia Wenxuan and said sincerely: "Lord, Dongwu's refusal of this marriage is not that you are bad, on the contrary, you are too good and too good." To tell the truth, Dongwu doesn't like the intrigue of the Houmen Emperor's family, and I'm not suitable for that kind of life, Dongwu's biggest wish in this life is to travel the world, boating the rivers and lakes, and live this life freely. When the prince achieves a great cause, he must have a group of wives and concubines, where can I still use this unruly little girl? I left this time with the master, and with the master to protect me, you can rest assured! ”

Xia Wenxuan saw that Ling Dongwu had made up his mind, and he regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't have casually told her that he wanted to accept her as a concubine, he had already known that she was different from other women, he was really reluctant to Ling Dongwu to leave, whether it was emotionally or economically, "Now Xiao Wang's account is the time to use people and money, Dongwu, you also know how much you have helped Xiao Wang in the past two years, without you, even if Sun Daren and others can manage the business, but after all, it is not you, Dongwu, you just stay, at most, wait for the situation to be a little more stable, Xiao Wang will let you leave! ”

Ling Dongwu saw that Xia Wenxuan was sincere, and it was not easy to get too stiff, "I have already promised the master to go to the martial arts conference in Jiangxia with him, and I am saying that I also want to go to see what the so-called martial arts conference is like, so let's do it, I will come back after my master and I went to participate in this martial arts conference, you should take me on vacation and go on a trip!" ”

Xia Wenxuan heard that Ling Dongwu was a delaying tactic, but seeing her resolute attitude, it was not easy to force her to stay, so he only nodded helplessly.

Ling Dongwu let out a sigh of relief, turned around to find the master, Yang Mingyuan had already made all the preparations, and saw Ling Dongwu coming, "The third prince let you go!" ”

"He didn't agree at first, but when he saw that I had made up my mind, he reluctantly agreed!"

"What about your brother, does he know you're going with me? I went to him last night and already said goodbye to him, why don't you say goodbye to him! ”

Thinking of Mu Zicheng, Ling Dongwu's heart was gloomy for a while, farewell, there is no need, from now on, at the ends of the earth, each has his own life! "Ah, I saw my brother when I went to the martial arts training ground to find the third prince just now, and I already said hello to him!" Ling Dongwu didn't want the master to know what was going on between him and his brother, not because he wanted to hide it from the master, but because he didn't know what to say, saying that Mu Zicheng was unlucky, he never said that he liked himself, that he had the intention of falling into the flowers, and that he was ruthless, and he felt embarrassed.

After all, Yang Mingyuan was a man on the rivers and lakes, and he didn't notice the flickering of Ling Dongwu's words, "Okay, then let's go!" ”

The two of them fought horses and went out of the camp.

Mu Zicheng couldn't lift his spirits no matter what he did this day, when he thought that Ling Dongwu had come to say that the third prince had proposed to her yesterday, his heart was like a knife, and he always felt a strange restlessness in his heart, and the smiling face when Ling Dongwu turned around to say goodbye to him yesterday was too bleak, which always made him have a premonition of uneasiness.

In the evening, Xia Wenxuan called Mu Zicheng to his room, looked at him with a melancholy expression and said, "Zicheng, Dongwu left this time, did you tell you when you will come back?" ”

What, she's gone! Mu Zicheng's heart was half cold all of a sudden, she didn't tell herself that she was leaving, and she didn't go to say hello to herself before leaving, Ling Dongwu had already kicked herself out of the category of her relatives and friends, she didn't want him anymore!

Seeing Mu Zicheng's stunned expression, the third prince couldn't help but be shocked, "Why, you don't know that she left!" ”

Mu Zicheng shook his head with a painful expression, "She, she didn't tell the minister." ”

The third prince originally had a glimmer of hope that Ling Dongwu would come back, but now he knew that she was really leaving. She didn't tell Mu Zicheng that she was leaving, it seemed that she really didn't plan to come back, "Hey, it's all Xiao Wang, who mentioned to her without permission that she wanted to take her as a concubine, it must have scared her, so she left!" ”

Mu Zicheng was mixed with joy and sorrow at this time, Ling Dongwu left this time, it was very clear that she didn't like Xia Wenxuan, he regretted it in his heart, why didn't he ask Dong'er before, if she liked the third prince, with her own guess, she pushed her away, self-righteous wanted to be good for her like this, and deliberately stayed with Miss Wu every day, coldly indifferent to her, how could she not be sad, how could she not leave!

The two men in the room, for Ling Dongwu's departure, unconsciously felt remorse and pain.

After a period of silence, Xia Wenxuan said to Mu Zicheng: "Zicheng, you and Dongwu are brothers and sisters in trouble, she must listen to you, now the military affairs are not busy, you give the planned training plan to Jiao Hongliang and them, you go to Jiangxia, watch the Dongwu, and bring her back as soon as the martial arts conference is over!" "Ling Dongwu is too important to Xia Wenxuan, even if she refuses to enter the palace as a concubine, she can still do business, he needs Ling Dongwu too much now, a steady stream of economic backing, no matter what, Xia Wenxuan can't lose this chicken that can only lay golden eggs, let alone let others go.

"Yes." Xia Wenxuan's words were in Mu Zicheng's mind, and now he couldn't wait to have wings, and immediately flew to Ling Dongwu's side, telling her that he was wrong and taking her back to him.

Mu Zicheng returned to the room, where could he still sleep, he found his subordinates Jiao Hongliang and Wei Chidu and others overnight, explained the training plan and military power after he left, and instructed Jiao Hongliang to take care of Miss Wu Hairong when he was away, and after arranging everything, he simply tidied up, got on the horse and set off overnight to pursue Ling Dongwu and his master Yang Mingyuan.

Ling Dongwu got his wish and began his career wandering the rivers and lakes with his master Yang Mingyuan, Yang Mingyuan took her and did not rush to Jiangxia directly, but first went to Yuzhou, which is not far from Jiangxia, and said that he would meet his good friend, and then go to Jiangxia together.

When he arrived in Yuzhou City, Ling Dongwu knew that the famous "Imperial Sword Villa" on the rivers and lakes was actually the home of his master's good friend, and the famous Xuanyuan Imperial Sword was actually his master's good friend.

"Master, you have such a friend, why haven't I heard you talk about it!"

"What is he doing, you are swaggering and deceiving under his banner!" Yang Mingyuan smiled and teased his beloved disciple.

"How can I swagger!"

In an evergreen tea garden on a mountain, along the winding mountain road, there is an open place, a large courtyard stands in front of you, there are two big stone lions squatting at the door, three animal head gates, and the porch of the marble building in the middle is written with four ancient big characters of "Royal Sword Villa"!

Two families with spears in their hands stood at the door, and before they could see the door, a strong man who was only about 50 years old, with a mighty demeanor and golden eyes, walked out, and a calm voice came: "Mingyuan, you finally have time to come to me today!" "He is the famous Xuanyuan Imperial Sword, the first swordsman who was famous in the rivers and lakes twenty years ago. Perhaps it was because the traces of time had carved too deep marks on him, making him feel far older than his actual age.

A young man with a long figure and a handsome face followed behind Xuanyuan Imperial Sword, dressed in a narrow-sleeved suit, which lined his shoulders and waist, "Come, Shuo'er, come to see Uncle Yang!" ”

"Little nephew Xuanyuan Shuo, please say hello to Uncle Yang!" It turned out that he was the son of Xuanyuan Edgeworth, Xuanyuan Shuo.

Yang Mingyuan also pulled Ling Dongwu down in front of them and introduced, "This is my little apprentice, Ling Dongwu!" ”

Xuanyuan Imperial Sword and Xuanyuan Shuo were both shocked by the handsome young man in front of them when they saw Ling Dong dancing, but Xuanyuan Imperial Sword has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and after a glance, they saw that Ling Dong was wearing men's clothes, and when they saw that their son was still stunned, they said something, "Shuo'er, I haven't seen my junior sister yet!" ”

Xuanyuan Shuo glanced at Ling Dongwu again: his eyebrows were slender, his eyes were clear, his nose was straight, and his mouth was small. He finally realized that the "man" looked closely and turned out to be a girl.

Xuanyuan Shuo barely maintained a smile and coughed dryly: "Hello, senior sister!" ”

The inner courtyard of the Imperial Sword Villa is far from the majestic and majestic of the outer house, and from the outside, it is just an extremely ordinary courtyard house. If you insist that there is anything wrong with ordinary people, it is a large garden covering a wide area behind the courtyard, just because Xuanyuan Edgeworth's wife is not a person from the rivers and lakes, she was a daughter of a large family before marrying Xuanyuan Edgeworth, and she likes landscape gardens very much.

A few people walked while talking, and they had arrived at the flower hall. Ling Dongwu saw that the room was not big, but the windows were bright and clean, simple and elegant. On the table, there are three or two plates of delicate dim sum, as well as a few cups of steaming fragrant tea.

At this time, Xuanyuan Edgeworth's wife also walked out, and Ling Dongwu knew why Xuanyuan Edgeworth was such a heroic character, and he had to compromise for his wife, it turned out that Xuanyuan Edgeworth's wife Fang Xiaoyu was an out-and-out beauty, with a delicate and delicate appearance and figure, with the gentleness and charm of a middle-aged woman, while Xuanyuan Shuo's handsome appearance was mostly inherited from his mother.

Because of Yang Mingyuan's arrival, Xuanyuan Imperial Sword held a feast in the house, and during the banquet, Xuanyuan Imperial Sword saw that Ling Dongwu was articulate and had good opinions, and he liked it very much, when Yang Mingyuan told him that Ling Dongwu was the wizard Ling Dong in the business world in the past two years, Xuanyuan Imperial Sword was even more overjoyed, "Good boy, it is rare that you have such grand ambitions at a young age, and all the gold and silver you earn will be used to help the three princes recruit troops and horses, protect their families and defend the country, and resist foreign invasion, especially as a girl!" These things you do can't be done by any hot-blooded man! ”
