Zuo Xiangning looked at the masked man.

The masked man also looked at her.

Zuo Xiangning sighed and asked, "If I stay, will you let them all go?"

"Yes." The masked man agreed: "Unscathed, let them all leave."

"Why did you leave me here?" Zuo Xiangning asked in confusion.

"I think only dead people would say nothing, but I wholeheartedly believe in Buddha and don't want to kill anyone, but I don't want to let you out..." The masked man said, "It was also a helpless move for me."

"How can I believe your words?" Zuo Xiangning looked at the man and asked.

"I'll ask Bingyu to leave with them, and then I'll take you to watch from a distance, okay?" "How long are you going to let me stay here?" Zuo Xiangning thought about her own experience, and her heart was filled with tears. Frustrated.

She originally ran away from her elder brother's place and wanted to walk around, but who would have thought that she would end up in such a mess again.

However, it is useless to say anything now. Preserving life is the most important thing. As for other things, we can only take one step at a time.

"No more than half a year." The masked man said, "I will leave here within half a year, and I will let you go then."

Zuo Xiangning blinked, "Okay, it's a deal."

"A gentleman's words are hard to chase." The corners of the masked man's mouth turned up slightly.

Zuo Xiangning cursed in her heart: Are you a bastard worthy of being called a "gentleman"?

"I want to say a few words to Bingyu." Zuo Xiangning said again.

"Bingyu!" The masked man shouted in the direction of the door.

Bingyu walked in with his head lowered, knelt directly on the ground in front of Zuo Xiangning.

"She has a weakness in my hands. I forced her to do this. It's useless for you to accuse her." The masked man said.

Zuo Xiangning looked at the icy rain with tears falling on the ground drop by drop, and did not say a word of accusation.

Wasn't she willing to do anything just to save her life?

Why force her?

"Just tell Zhang Tu that I will go to Yangzhou first and ask them to wait for me in Yangzhou. After settling them, let Zhang Tu take Xiao Wu back to Beijing in half a year." Zuo Xiangning said: "Take your Prince... …”

Prince Ru has already met Bingyu, so you can’t deceive him.

"Find a way to send Prince Ru to the north." Zuo Xiangning threw this problem directly to Bingyu.

If she betrays herself, she will always suffer.

Bingyu kowtowed and said "yes".

"I hope you can handle this matter well." Zuo Xiangning said: "After completing this errand, our relationship between master and servant will end here. From now on, I hope you can handle yourself well."

Bingyu hung his head guiltily, never daring to look up at her.

After she went out, the masked man had food served.

He sat at the table, looked at Zuo Xiangning who was still sitting on the bed in the inner room and said, "Come over and eat."

"I'm not hungry." Zuo Xiangning rubbed the sore back of her neck and lay back on the pillow.

"I don't want you to go against me by keeping you here," the masked man reminded.

Zuo Xiangning got up from the bed, stood by the door and said, "Is there a clean room?"

"Yes." The masked man shouted outside: "Here comes someone!"

Two girls aged fourteen or fifteen ran in.

"Take the girl to the clean room." The masked man said, "Take good care of the girl and keep an eye on her. If something happens to her, be careful of your own life!"

The two little girls were so frightened that they lowered their heads and followed Zuo Xiangning, not even daring to breathe.

Zuo Xiangning followed them and washed her hands and face. When she came back, she sat directly at the table, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating by herself. The masked man looked at her and said nothing.

Zuo Xiangning discovered that the dishes on the table were all her favorites.

It seems that Bingyu still has some conscience.

After finishing her meal, she put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked the man who barely moved his chopsticks: "Can I leave this room?"

"Okay." The masked man said.

Zuo Xiangning walked out of the room and stood in the yard.

The masked man picked up his rice bowl, took a few bites, and then put it down.

He went to the front yard and said to Bingyu who was waiting there: "Send Zhang Tu and the others safely to Yangzhou and hire a husband for Xiao Wu. In a few months, I will take the fourth girl to find you. As for Bai Feng Yu, after you release him, let people keep an eye on him secretly, he can't make any big waves by himself."

"Yes." Bingyu raised her head and glanced at him quickly, then quickly lowered her head and said: "The fourth girl is a good person, please don't hurt her..."

"You just need to do your own thing well. You'd better not worry about things that are not your business!" The man's voice was slightly cold, "I won't do this next time!"

Bingyu bit her lower lip and said, "I obey."

When Bingyu went out, the man's face became slightly pale.

He walked to the table, took out a map of Jiangnan, looked at it for a long time, and secretly planned his next route.

Suddenly, his palm touched his face.

The cold mask made him stiffen and he fell onto the chair next to him.

"What do I want to do?" he asked to himself, "Am I crazy?"

He found that he couldn't control his heart at all.

He originally just wanted to follow her secretly.

But seeing how sad and painful she was, he couldn't help but want to coax her and comfort her.

He once hoped that she could find a man who treated her sincerely and spend this life happily.

But when he really saw her standing with Bai Fengyu, his heart felt as if he was cutting flesh with a dull knife, which made him feel heartbroken.

There was no way for him to pretend as if nothing had happened.

Even if she wanted to find a man to marry, it couldn't be Bai Fengyu.

So where is the northern border? How could Zuo Xiangning be allowed to go to a place where there was wind and snow all year round, and even birds didn't like to poop?

But it would be different if she married in the capital.

He can watch her in the dark, and no matter who bullies her, he can help her bully her back.

Ling Xiao asked someone to prepare more sets of clothes for Zuo Xiangning.

"Replace everything with new ones from the inside out, including socks and shoes." The man said, "Make two sets of each color, and bring two sets for the head and face as well.

The man thought as he said: "There will be a chef in the kitchen and a dessert maker. By the way, let me buy some flowers and decorate the yard properly. Change the lanterns on the porch to red."

Zuo Xiangning watched people walking in and out of the yard. In less than an hour, the yard was filled with flowers and plants, and the lanterns were all changed into festive red. Then someone came to give her clothes.

She was secretly surprised that they were all tributes with extremely exquisite workmanship.

What does this man want to do?

Doesn't he want to marry himself?

Zuo Xiangning hurriedly entered the room and looked around for a mirror.

She looked at her pretty face in the bronze mirror and secretly worried that she couldn't stay here honestly. What if he had evil intentions towards her?

She has to find a way to escape!
