Ling Zhu stretched out his hand to Ling Xi's face, which was already full of tears, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ling Xi's eyes.

"When a man goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, it has always been for his own future, and so am I. I have prepared men's clothes and coils for you in the carriage, and the coachman will send you to the Xihua border to find Mu Zhi, he is not the official young master in the play, he is a person who can be entrusted for life. You will go out of the city today, don't go back to the Hou Mansion, and your mother will definitely not give you a chance to go out of the gate of Tingyuzhai in the future. After saying that, Ling Zhu walked straight out of the teahouse.

Ling Xi still stepped into the carriage that Ling Zhu had left for her.

She opened the curtain of the carriage in a daze, the gate of Yicheng was in front of her, Ling Zhu had prepared enough entanglement for her, and when she found Ye Muzhi at the border, no one could hinder her happiness anymore. Her love will be able to blossom and bear fruit, of course, she will bring a bad reputation to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, but when Ling Man sits on the throne of the queen, Ling Xiao will not think of her again, and the gossip in Yicheng will soon be forgotten. As long as she gets out of the castle tower in front of her, her love will be consummated.

The carriage stopped in front of a steamed bun stall in front of the city gate, and Ling Xi, dressed in men's clothes, stepped out of the carriage. Coming out of the city, Ling Xi wanted to take one last look at Yicheng, and of course he had to prepare enough dry food for the long distance in the future.

"Mother-in-law, I want a few steamed buns."

The old woman in front of the stall looked at Ling Xi, and after a while, her tears flowed. Ling Xi was a little at a loss, she thought that she was seen by the old woman dressing as a man.

"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Ling Xi pretended to be calm and asked.

"Don't blame the little boy, the old body just saw the little boy and remembered my little son, depending on the age, the little boy is the same age as the old son. Today he just left the city and went to the Xihua border barracks to join the army, the old body doesn't know when he will be able to see my little son again, and when he sees the little boy, he can't help crying, the little boy is not strange. The old woman said slowly, and she wiped the tears from her face with her hands.

"It is also a good thing to kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, and to shine on the lintel." Ling Xi comforted softly.

Originally, there were no tears on the old woman's face, but as soon as she heard Ling Xi say this, her face immediately became wet again.

"Killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, that's all the generals' business, how many people survived, and in the end they all died in a pile of bones. The old man has three sons, the eldest son died on the battlefield of Nanchang Kingdom, the second son died on the battlefield of Beirong, and it was not easy to stop fighting, and now there is another war on the border of Xihua, and my youngest son also went to join the army. ”

"Then why go to the army?" Ling Xi asked puzzled.

"At a glance, I know that the little boy was born in a rich family, we are civilians, as long as there is a war, the men in the family have to join the army to serve." The old woman had said that, she wiped her tears and handed the wrapped steamed bun to Ling Xi's hand.

The old woman couldn't bear to bear it, and when her mother said those words to herself that day...... It's exactly the same.

That day, Ling Xi didn't take the steamed buns, she dropped a silver ingot and didn't go back to the carriage, "Go home." ”
