Bai Fengyu took a deep look at Zuo Xiangning and said, "Take care of yourself and wait for me."

He knew that he couldn't take Zuo Xiangning away today, so he could only go back and think of another way.

After Bai Fengyu's people all evacuated, Zuo Xiangning walked into the room.

"Stop!" The masked man called her from behind.

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips tightly and turned around to look at him.

"You want to go out today just to recruit him?" The man asked angrily: "How can you be so sure that he will come? Is this a tiger's den and a wolf's den? Do you really want to leave?"

"What do you want?" Zuo Xiangning raised her head slightly, revealing her snow-white slender neck, "Kill me."

The masked man took a deep breath angrily, walked up to her, took her arm and returned to the room.

After closing the door, Zuo Xiangning threw away his arm.

"If you don't kill me, I will run away again sooner or later." Zuo Xiangning said with a stern face, "Unless you stare at me without blinking!"

"If you run again, I will break your legs!" the man threatened.

"Then you give me a discount!" Zuo Xiangning said without fear.

The masked man was choked by her and smiled instead of getting angry.

"Do you think I'm really reluctant to do anything to you, so you can do whatever you want without fear?"

Zuo Xiangning was slightly shocked after hearing his words.

She seemed to really think so deep down in her heart.

Otherwise, how could she act so wantonly in front of him?

Zuo Xiangning looked to the side with an unnatural expression on her face.

She poured herself a cup of hot tea, held it in her hand, and sipped it.

"I'm telling you, be honest!" The masked man pointed at her with his finger: "I'm going to see if any of my people are injured. If there are any, then you will be useless! How many injuries they suffered, I I will pay you back as much as I can!"

Zuo Xiangning's eyelashes trembled slightly without raising her eyelids.

The man pushed open the door forcefully and walked out in stride.

Zuo Xiangning glanced at his back and closed the door gently.

She put down the tea cup and lay back on the bed in the back room.

She thought he was just a paper tiger. Apart from saying a few words to scare people, he couldn't do anything else.

She really felt a little regretful.

When she went out today, she really wanted to reveal her whereabouts, but she didn't expect that Bai Fengyu would be attracted.

But now besides Bai Fengyu, who else will come to save her?

Even Bingyu was bribed. How many of the other people left by Ling Xiao could be loyal to her?

She has no idea now.

It would have been nice if she had not used Ling Xiao's people at that time, but bought some people herself.

Zuo Xiangning scratched her hair irritably and quickly put away her regrets.

There is no regret medicine in the world. No matter how much you think about what has happened, it is useless. It is better not to think about it.

Zuo Xiangning pulled the quilt over her head and kicked helplessly under the quilt.

Ling Xiao went to look outside the hospital and saw that his people were only slightly injured and the doctor had bandaged them.

"Are there any casualties among their people?" the man asked his guards.

"A few of their men saw blood, but none of them had any serious injuries." The guard replied, "I told our men in advance to be merciful."

Ling Xiao nodded and returned to the small courtyard.

When he entered the room and found Zuo Xiangning lying down to sleep, he couldn't help but smile.

This woman can really piss him off.

She caused a lot of mess, but she seemed like an idle person who should eat and sleep.

He first went to the West and read several secret reports. When he saw the last one, his face changed slightly. He read the secret message twice, then folded it and put it back in the envelope.

He went to the bathroom, took a shower, changed into his clothes, and then returned to the room and sat at the table.

He took two sips of tea, stood up and walked slowly into the inner room.

He opened the bed curtain and looked at the woman lying on her back, lost in thought.

The secret report stated that the emperor wanted to see him.

He is already a dead person in the capital. If he goes back by himself, he will only become the laughing stock of the whole capital.

But the emperor treated him like a nephew and asked him to go back, but he had to go back.

Of course, it is also possible that the emperor just wanted the Five Fortune Gates in his hands.

Zuo Xiangning slept for a long time. When she woke up, she stretched herself first and then reluctantly opened her eyes.

But she didn't expect that when she opened her eyes, she saw the masked man next to her, looking straight at her.

"You...what are you doing?" Zuo Xiangning leaned against the corner holding the quilt and looked at him nervously, "Why are you here?"

The masked man sat up and said to her: "Pack up your things later, we will set off in an hour."

Zuo Xiangning thought he was leaving here because he was afraid that Bai Fengyu would come to rob her again.

"I know." Zuo Xiangning looked at the man's shirt with a half-open collar and frowned.

When did he get into his bed last night?

Did he sleep to death? Why don't you know anything?

The man opened the bed curtain and left the inner room.

Zuo Xiangning hurriedly checked her clothes.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I found that there was nothing strange.

When the masked man took Zuo Xiangning away, he walked through the front door.

Only then did Zuo Xiangning realize that this courtyard turned out to be a large courtyard with five entrances.

Liu Ma picked two baskets of cherries and apricots and placed them in the corner of the carriage.

"This is newly picked. When you want to eat it, just wipe it with a handkerchief and you can eat it." Mother Liu reluctantly said to Zuo Xiangning: "In two months, the peaches in our yard will be ready. After eating, the peaches are all glossy and sweet. It would be great if the girl could stay for another two months."

Zuo Xiangning had a good impression of Liu's mother, and said to her with a smile: "You are not young anymore, so you should take more care of yourself."

Zuo Xiangning took out two silver ingots from her purse and gave them to Mother Liu, "I'd like to thank Mother Liu for taking care of me these days. I'll treat you to snacks with this little money."

Liu's mother said hurriedly: "Miss, you are too polite. I should take care of the girl and the uncle."

"That silver is not hers, it's mine." The man said from the side: "Just take it."

"Thank you, girl, thank you, uncle." Mother Liu saluted the two of them.

Zuo Xiangning rolled her eyes at the back of the man's head.

This man is really stingy. He only has two taels of silver in total. Is it worth fighting for?

The man said to the outside of the car: "Let's go!"

The two sat facing each other in silence, and could only hear the sound of the carriage moving forward.

When the carriage left the city and the noise outside was left behind, Zuo Xiangning asked: "Where are we going?"

"Where do you want to go?" the man asked.

Zuo Xiangning was stunned by his question for a moment.

She didn't know where she wanted to go either.

She originally just wanted to walk around without any goals.

Later, because of what Bingyu said, she wanted to go to Yangzhou.

But now because of the appearance of this masked man, the trip to Yangzhou has become uncertain, and there is no need for her to go there alone and risk her life.

Seeing that she couldn't answer, the man said, "I'll take you back to the capital."
