But he said that Lu Wenzheng and Xu Zhi were talking to Ling Yun about the troublesome things that had happened between him and the county lord these days, and suddenly Ling Yun's little servant Yumo came in and reported: "Commander Ling, the Xiangyun girl from the Jinling Mansion outside said that she has something to ask to see you!" ”

Lu Wenzheng and Xu Zhi listened, looked at each other, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Xu Zhi said in a somewhat joking tone: "How is it, Commander Ling, are you still hard-mouthed, everyone has come to the door, what else do you have to say now?" ”

Ling Yun's handsome face immediately turned red, and he was speechless for a while.

Lu Wenzheng glanced at Ling Yun with a slight hint of ridicule, pulled Xu Zhi and said, "Mr. Xu, let's not leave quickly, do we still have to stay here to get in the way?" ”

It's really unbelievable that even Lord Lu, who has always been serious and respectful, has become so "improper" now, and Ling Yun is speechless.

Lu Wenzheng and Xu Zhi laughed and went out.

Ling Yun looked at the elated backs of the two of them, but he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. He calmed down and told Yumo to invite Miss Xiangyun in.

Suddenly, Xiangyun walked in like a weak willow supporting the wind. She lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, and gave Lingyun a deep blessing; Then he respectfully handed over a brocade book and said, "Commander Ling, this is a letter brought to you by the county lord entrusted by the slave maid, please take a look." ”

Ling Yun thanked him, took the letter, and unfolded it to watch, but saw a few words on it:

Brother Ling:

Please see you tomorrow in the Qinfang Courtyard five miles outside the city, where the little sister is waiting for the driver, not to be seen.

Huanyu worshipped

Xiangyun stood aside, secretly paying attention to the change in the expression on Ling Yun's face, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. Because when the county lord came to her, he repeatedly instructed that she must ask for Ling Yun's face-to-face reply.

That is, to go or not to go, there must be a clear answer; It can't be vague or ambiguous.

At this time, she saw Ling Yun holding the brocade book in her hand, her eyes were hesitant, her sword eyebrows were furrowed, and she just groaned silently; One of her hearts couldn't help but raise her throat all of a sudden, and she thought, "Could it be that Commander Ling really wants to refuse the county lord's appointment?" ”……

After a period of tormented waiting, she finally heard Ling Yun's reply, "Thank you girl for passing on the book, please ask the girl to go back and tell the county lord, just say that Ling Yun will definitely go to the appointment on time tomorrow!" ”

Xiangyun let out a long sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on his face that was sweating because of nervousness. She bowed to Ling Yun and said, "Thank you Commander Ling, the slave will go back to her life." ”

With that, he turned around and went.

The next morning, Ling Yun changed into a white robe, cleaned up cautiously and neatly, and said goodbye to Lu Wenzheng; Then he went out of the palace gate and rode a fast horse straight to the Qinfang Courtyard outside the city.

Originally, this Qinfang Courtyard is a foreign residence of the Jinling Palace, usually the prince, the princess, the county lord and other people go out on business or vacation, here is often used as a place of leisure stay.

Today, Huanyu used this place as a place to make an appointment, which is also very appropriate; Because it is far away from the hustle and bustle, the environment is quiet, and there will be no idle people waiting to disturb here, so as to cause any unnecessary trouble.

said that Ling Yun was exactly the hour when he came here; Far away, he saw that the housekeeper Zhao Renyi was already waiting there early.

Zhao Renyi saw that Ling Yun was rushing to this side with a horse and whip, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Ling Yunfei dismounted and stepped forward.

The two met and exchanged a few words of greeting, and Zhao Renyi got straight to the point and said: "Commander Ling, the county lord is inside, please come with me." ”

Ling Yun didn't say anything, but just followed Zhao Renyi into the door.

The two walked through the overlapping pavilions and winding corridors to the living room. Zhao Renyi asked Ling Yun to sit down, and then ordered someone to invite the county lord.

Suddenly, the rings outside are clanging and crisp; I saw that the county lord of Huanyu was surrounded by Xiangyun, Jiao Xing and others, and entered belatedly.

Ling Yun stepped forward with a blank face and saluted the Lord of Huanyu County.

The two looked at each other silently, and for a long time, neither of them knew what to say first.

There was a brief stalemate in the living room at this time, and an ambiguous and awkward atmosphere slowly flowed in the air, which was suffocating.

Zhao Renyi was anxious to escape from the embarrassing scene in front of him, so he coughed lightly and said, "County master, the old slave still has some things to deal with, so he will retire first." ”

Huanyu nodded and said, "Okay, you guys go down first." ”

Zhao Renyi glanced at Xiangyun, Jiao Xing and others; Everyone understood and quietly withdrew.

There were only two people in the living room, Ling Yun and Huanyu.

Seeing that Ling Yun had been calm, Huanyu said softly: "Brother Ling, are you really angry with me about those things a few days ago?" ”

Ling Yun raised his face coldly, and said Mu Ran: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

Huanyu said: Brother Ling, please don't talk to me like this, okay? I hope we are still the same as before, you talk and laugh with me, unrestrained, without the slightest barrier. ”

Ling Yun's eyes sank, and he said indifferently: "The past is the past, and it is impossible to come back; Just like the matter between you and me, it should be over by now. ”

Huan Yufang's heart trembled and said, "What do you mean by this?" ……”

Ling Yun said in a resolute tone: "A few days ago, in the hall of your mansion, I already told you very clearly, I can't afford your love at all!" County Lord, we're going to break up, so please don't waste any more time on me! ”

Huanyu was a little stupid for a moment, "Why?" …… What did you tell me when you were in Feiyun Villa before? You said that as long as we settle down, we will never be separated again......"

Ling Yun glanced at her helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "At that time, we were in the hands of the enemy, there were people watching everywhere, and there were many murderous opportunities around. ”

Huanyu's tears of hurt had fallen unconsciously. She cried, "I don't care! From beginning to end, everything I say to you is my heart...... Brother Ling, I really love you, I just want to be with you! ……”

Ling Yun stabilized his troubled mind for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "County Lord, please calm down; Now you have to be clear, and that is: there is no way between me and you......"

Huanyu said with tears in her eyes: "Why? ……”

Ling Yun only felt a pain in his first place at this time; He rubbed his temples vigorously, and said patiently: "Because you are the dignified county lord of the Jinling Palace, the stars hold the moon, high above, what kind of dragon fast son-in-law can't be found-so the county lord, you better find another good person; And Lingyun is humble, and he is not the right household with the county lord, so he can't enter the eyes of the prince of Jinling at all, and he really doesn't dare to climb high! ”

Huanyu raised a pair of teary eyes, looked at him stupidly, and said, "You mean, my father will object to the matter between us, right?" Don't worry, I have a way, and I will definitely convince him to do your thing! ”

At the mention of this, Ling Yun couldn't help but think of the humiliation he had suffered in the Jinling Palace's mansion a few days ago, and his heart couldn't help but twitch in pain; His pupils sank, almost annoyed, "Don't say it! ......" turned and walked out.

Huanyu staggered after him, crying out, "You wait! ……”

Ling Yun had no choice but to stop and say, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Huanyu choked up and said, "Do you already have a heart?" ”

Ling Yun's heart trembled, "What? ……”

Huanyu's beautiful tearful eyes carried a bit of resentment, and said quietly: "Tell me, are you still thinking about her in your heart, that's why you treat me like this?" ”

Ling Yun's originally pale face turned even whiter at this time, and a layer of deep sadness crept through his deep eyes; He lifted his face and exhaled softly, but did not speak.

Huanyu gritted her teeth and said word by word: "You answer me......"

Ling Yun was silent for a long time, and finally slowly spoke: "County Lord, I am not suitable for you, and I don't love you either, nothing else!" ......" finished speaking, and walked out without looking back.

Looking at Ling Yun's distant, resolute and indifferent back, Huanyu beat his chest in the back and cried bitterly......

After Huanyu returned to the Jinling Palace, she was depressed all day long, just sullenly locked herself in her room all day long, and didn't say a word; And no one will see it, and no one will pay attention to it.

After Zhao Fu, the prince of Jinling, learned the whole story from the housekeeper Zhao Renyi, he couldn't help but be furious: "Lingyun, this stinky boy, really doesn't know what to do, he actually treats my daughter like this, look at how I clean him up!" ”

Princess Wei of Jinling explained on the side: "Actually, it's okay, we didn't agree with the two of them, but our daughter was obsessed and had to marry Ling Yun, which didn't make sense; Now it's okay, it was Ling Yun who came forward and took the initiative to reject her, and Huanyu could just die of this heart now! ”

The prince of Jinling said: "That being said, it's just ......" He scratched his head and couldn't go on.

Wei Shi took over the conversation and said: "It's just what, it's just that Ling Yun rejected our daughter, and she is too embarrassed to save face, isn't it?" ”

The prince of Jinling nodded and said: "Yes, our daughter Jin Zun Yugui, no matter how many people want to climb high, they can't climb high, it's reasonable, if we reject him, it's okay; Now it's this stinky boy who has rejected us, I really don't know what to do! Thinking about it, I am indeed unwilling......"

Wei couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Lord Wang, what do you want?" At the beginning, when I heard about Ling Yun and our daughter, I was so angry that I arrested and beat and killed others, and I didn't agree with this family business; Now Lingyun has taken the initiative to withdraw, but you say that people don't know what to do - what do you want people to do to meet your heart? ”

The prince of Jinling only felt that his heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't help sighing and said, "Now I don't know what to do......"

Wei Shi also sighed lightly and said: "Okay, in my opinion, this matter is like this, leave him alone for now." ”

As she spoke, she called Xiangyun and Jiaoxing, and instructed: "During this time, you should put more effort into taking care of the county lord's diet and daily life, every word and deed; If you find anything abnormal, report it immediately! ”

Xiangyun and Jiao Xing said respectfully: "Yes, the slave maid obeys the princess's orders. ”
