Besides, Princess Pinglan and the others went to the Xichuan Post House to rest temporarily under the escort of Gao Qibai, and he went to the Xichuan Terracotta Mansion to report to his father. In the evening, naturally, Gao Yu, the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, came to greet him in person, and took the wind and washed the dust for Princess Pinglan and others, and sent a military physician to treat Princess Pinglan's injured subordinates, not to mention.

At the reception banquet for Princess Pinglan and others, there were naturally strange beggars Feng Shuai and Ling Xingnan, as well as the mother and son who were rescued in the middle of the way. The banquet was carried out in an atmosphere where everyone greeted each other and saluted each other. Since Ling Xingnan hadn't drunk for a long time, naturally the amount of alcohol had dropped significantly, so he retired from the banquet early...... The beggar Feng Shuai drank an astonishing amount of alcohol, and he was drunk seven or eight points in the company of the officers and staff of the Jiedu envoys, and finally returned to the post house room after being helped by others......

The night is confused, and the mountains are thousands of miles.

Perhaps, the bright moon at the border pass is brighter.

It's just that the pace of returning home is becoming more and more hesitant.

It's not that he doesn't want home, it's that he has no home.

He didn't want to go back, but his fate could not disobey him.

Ling Xingnan sat in the garden of the post house, silently looking at the bright moon. The bright moonlight poured on his body, and he looked motionless, as if he was a stained human sculpture.

There are many trees in the garden, and the fallen leaves are scattered on the ground. When someone passed by, there was a soft rustling sound.

Sand...... Sand...... Sand......

Someone came over, and there was a very rhythmic sound of footsteps behind him.

"It's cold at night, you haven't rested yet?" That was a very beautiful voice, she didn't want to disturb Ling Xingnan's solitude, maybe she couldn't bear to let him get cold, so she came over to say hello, right?

"It's so late, isn't it the same that the princess hasn't rested?" Ling Xingnan slowly stood up and said.

The person who came was Princess Pinglan. She was dressed in white, with long hair and a shawl, and she was as beautiful as a Lingbo fairy in the bright moonlight.

Unconsciously, Ling Xingnan was also stupid.

"I haven't had the opportunity to thank you in person for saving my life...... Thank you!" Princess Pinglan said as she looked at Ling Xingnan's slightly depressed appearance.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing...... It's just a coincidence......" Ling Xingnan replied.

Princess Pinglan smiled and continued, "You are Ling Xingnan, the young owner of Xingyun Villa, right?"

When Ling Xingnan heard this, his expression was shocked, and his words also carried a bit of vigilance, "You...... What is this for, you ask?"

Princess Pinglan smiled again, she looked at Ling Xingnan's guarded expression, and said, "You don't have to be so nervous, I have no malicious intent." Just ask...... In fact, whether you are Ling Xingnan or not, it has nothing to do with me! You saved my life, how can I take revenge on you?"

Only then did Ling Xingnan slowly fade away his vigilance.

"I know that the people of Nebula Mountain Villa are going to deal with you...... And you are charged with killing your relatives, and there are many people in the righteous path who are still chasing you...... However, through this period of observation, I have realized that you are not the kind of person they say you are!" Princess Pinlan said slowly.

Ling Xingnan sighed, at this time he had already glanced at Princess Pinglan with gratitude, and his good impression of her in his heart had increased a little more.

"Thank you, Princess...... It's just that everyone is making money, and the truth is hard to tell!"

"Are you going to hide in Tibet all your life, have you never had any more plans for yourself?" asked Princess Pinglan.

Ling Xingnan smiled bitterly, his heart was tumbling like mixed tastes, and he was silent for a long time, and said: "Dodging is something that there was no way to do before, after all, only by saving your life can you take revenge...... But now it's different, when I go back this time, I want to pay myself justice!"

When Ling Xingnan finished speaking, he raised his head, straightened his chest, and silently stared at the bright moon, it was not difficult to see that he already had great confidence.

People's self-confidence is very important! As long as you believe and work hard, things will inevitably happen to people.

The so-called God rewards hard work, self-confidence and hard work are the key, and I am afraid of people's own cowardice and self-abandonment.

In this world, each of us is unique and unique. As the poet immortal Li Bai said: "I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone......"

People, not afraid of failure!

People are only afraid that they will be sluggish after failure and will not be able to regain their confidence!

Princess Pinglan was overjoyed to see Ling Xingnan's relief.

She felt that this man was really not an ordinary person. After suffering such a big change and blow to himself, the young master of Xingyun Villa was reduced from a glorious young master to a down-and-out guest in the rivers and lakes, and he has been hiding from strong enemies and avoiding foreign countries for a year...... But when I see him today, my faith has been lost and restored. In time, she concluded that this man would have to get ahead one day......

The night breeze is blowing, and the coolness is gradually increasing.

The two of them stood like this in the courtyard, the moonlight pouring down on them like water, and the courtyard was quiet. They all have things hidden in their hearts, and their love and hatred are complicated......

He's a traitor to the end of the world, at least until now.

She is the princess in the turbulent Tang Dynasty, and her noble status cannot be changed.

In the end, because of the arrangement of fate, they were intertwined......

Perhaps, what awaits them will be countless unpredictable entanglements?

The sky always makes people, who can predict the future!

Soon, the silence in the courtyard was interrupted by the sound of staggered footsteps. Unexpectedly, it was the mother and son who were rescued by Ling Xingnan today......

It seems that they are not the only ones who can't sleep tonight, but also the mother and son.

"Uncle, sister princess, you haven't rested so late?" exclaimed the boy as soon as he entered the garden.

It was late at night, and the child's voice was noticeably lowered. His mother also slowly followed behind him, in front of Ling Xingnan and Princess Pinglan.

Ling Xingnan turned around and chuckled, "Didn't you sleep too?"

When the boy heard this, he sighed faintly, as if there was an indescribable sorrow in his heart. When Ling Xingnan and Princess Pinglan heard this, they couldn't help but feel the child's sigh. I think he is so young, he shouldn't have the troubles of adults!

"Little friend, why are you sighing, are you still uncomfortable about the things of the day?" Princess Pinglan asked gently.

The child glanced at Princess Pinglan and said with a smile: "That's not true! My mother and I have come to thank you for saving our ...... during the day."

The child's mother also stepped forward at this time and said gratefully: "The slave family thanks the princess and Ling Shaoxia for saving their lives during the day...... Fen'er, come over and kowtow to the two benefactors. ”

The child was about to bow down in response, but was grabbed by Ling Xingnan, and then said to his mother: "Eldest sister, you don't have to be polite...... I'm also a fallen person, and I'm not used to that. Thank you, princess. ”

When the princess heard this, she also smiled and said: "Eldest sister is not polite, although I am a princess, I am also a free and easy person." Ben does not pay attention to these worldly etiquette...... By the way, where are you orphans and widows going when you come to this border land? If it is not peaceful today, you must be careful!"

When the woman saw Princess Pinglan ask, she also sighed faintly, but her sigh was much more sad than that of the child, and it seemed that she had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

The woman's expression was depressed, and her body trembled slightly, as if she could not withstand the cold wind of the cold night. However, Princess Pinglan and Ling Xingnan could see that this woman was sad in her heart, and she was really grief-stricken and hidden in her heart.

"Mother...... Mother...... Don't worry, let's tell our uncle and sister princess and ask them to help us find Daddy, okay?"

"Hey, Fen'er, you have suffered with your mother all these years...... Your daddy...... I'm afraid it's already too bad to be lucky......" The woman coughed as she spoke.

"No...... Mother, we must be able to find Daddy!" the boy seemed to be comforting himself while comforting his mother.

Ling Xingnan felt that this child was very sensible! Although he was not very old, he had already learned how to care and comfort people. Moreover, from this child's body, it seems to remind him of his boyhood......

It's just that his teenage years are much more comfortable than this child, although his parents are long gone, but he has the love of his grandfather, as well as the care of his fellow brothers, almost his teenage years were spent carefree. Although many unfortunate things have happened since then...... But that was only after he became an adult.

Therefore, he was more sympathetic to the child, who had already wandered around with his mother at such a young age......

There are all kinds of personnel, there are thousands of misfortunes, and happiness is the norm!

Ling Xingnan stared at the mother and son, feeling that they were very pitiful. Although he himself has suffered many misfortunes, maybe he is sympathetic, right?

So, Ling Xingnan asked, "Eldest sister, if you have any difficulties, just say ...... As long as I can help you, I will do my best to help!"

The woman looked at Ling Xingnan gratefully and said, "Thank you Ling Shaoxia...... Our mother and son were originally from the north, and we traveled thousands of miles to the southwestern borderland, just to find the child's father! Now we have been looking for half a month in this land, but there is no news, and all we have brought is about to ...... I didn't know that I encountered today's incident again, but fortunately, you and the princess came to the rescue...... Otherwise, the consequences are really ......"

When the woman said this, she was sad again.

"Eldest sister, why did your husband leave your mother and son, and come to this southwestern border?" asked Princess Pinglan.

"He was ......" the woman asked when she saw Princess Pinglan, and muttered for a long time without saying it.

In this way, it is really difficult to say.

"Mother...... Why don't you say it? That's not Daddy's fault...... It's the emperor......" The child hurriedly said, but before he could finish speaking, the woman covered his mouth.

"What, the emperor ......," Princess Pinglan asked.

Ling Xingnan also heard the word "emperor" in the child's words. It seems that this is not an easy matter. Since you can have a relationship with the emperor, most of it is related to the court.

Thinking that he is a grass citizen, he is already too busy to take care of himself, how can he manage the affairs of the court? I am afraid that he can't help the affairs of this mother and son. Therefore, he did not say anything, but continued to listen. After all, there's a princess here, and maybe she'll be able to help......

"Big sister...... Since it's about my imperial brother, I can't help you?" Princess Pinglan was obviously very enthusiastic and urged.

"This ......" the woman stopped talking, with unspeakable worries in her heart.

Princess Pinglan thought for a while and asked, "Is your husband from our court?"

The woman looked at the night sky and took a deep breath, as if with great determination. Then she coughed lightly a few times before she said slowly: "Princess Qiyu, my husband is Qin Zhi, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy in Chaozhong...... Because he saw the suffering of the common people, he wrote to the emperor to request the reduction of the people's excesses and miscellaneous taxes, but unexpectedly, he was framed by the court's pastoral lord and the great eunuch Xu Ying as the following offenders, and there was a suspicion of wantonly accusing the emperor of being unkind...... Later, the current emperor was bewitched by traitors, and the emperor was furious and dismissed my husband from his post and sent him to the southwestern border to fill the army......"

Princess Pinglan was shocked when she heard the woman say this. Because of the name Qin Zhi, a scholar of Hanlin Academy, she had heard someone mention it. Moreover, I also heard that this person was the top student in high school and his younger brother a few years ago, young and promising, talented, and upright, and a pillar of the country.

Although Pinglan is a woman, her noble status has always had a different relationship with the court, after all, this Jiangshan Sheji has always been her Tang Li family.

Today, how could she not be surprised to hear about such things? Although she has less time to go back to the palace on weekdays, she also knows very well that her imperial brother is playful, often ignores court affairs, and is idle all day long...... Most of the major affairs of the state are represented by his ministers and eunuchs, and the pastoral candidate and the great eunuch Xu Ying are among them.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the surname Li was already in danger, but it was not the fault of his imperial brother, since the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Empire has been in decline, and the emperors of later generations are even worse than the next.
