"You want to take me back to the capital?" Zuo Xiangning looked at him in surprise, "Are you telling the truth?"

Didn't he come to Lingxiao's Wufu Hall? Aren't you going to Yangzhou to meet the four rudders?

"Yes, I will take you back to the capital." The man nodded.

Zuo Xiangning was thinking seriously, what is the purpose of this man?

Could it be that she wanted to go to the capital and use her to threaten the Zuo family, or her sister Princess Chu, or even the King of Chu?

"I am just a concubine of the Zuo family. If you want to use me to threaten others to do things for you, then you have made the wrong calculation." Zuo Xiangning thought for a moment and said, "But if you send me back to the Zuo family , I can promise to give you three thousand taels of silver."

"You have more than three thousand lives." The masked man smiled and said, "Don't underestimate yourself."

"Three thousand three hundred taels, this is the limit. No matter how much you ask for, my aunt may not be able to provide it." Zuo Xiangning said: "The human heart is greedy, and only those who know the current affairs are heroes. If you are too greedy, Be careful not to get a penny.”

"Don't worry, I just want to test how much money you are worth. If you really can't get a single point, I will keep you at worst." The masked man smiled and said: "I happen to be lonely by myself, and I have you by my side. Not bad."

"How much money do you want? Tell me the number." Zuo Xiangning looked at him speechlessly, "Tell me the number you want most."

"Twenty thousand taels." The man held out two fingers, "This is the least amount of money in my heart."

"Twenty thousand taels?" Zuo Xiangning leaned on the cushion with a sneer, "Then you'd better let me follow you."

"That couldn't be better." The man smiled and picked up two big cherries, wiped them clean with a handkerchief and put them in Zuo Xiangning's hand. "These two are big and red, and they are guaranteed to be sweet."

Zuo Xiangning ate one, and it was indeed very sweet.

The man picked a few more for her, but Zuo Xiangning didn't reach out again.

"It's your own body. You're angry with me. It's you who's angry. Is that okay?" The man pushed the snack in front of her, "Try this. Maybe you haven't eaten the snack made by Mother Liu, right?"

"I can't eat it." When Zuo Xiangning left the capital, she pulled a cart full of things and took more than ten girls and boys with her. Now she returned to the capital, not only alone, but also without any money. She just returned to Zuofu, her mother Don't you think she was robbed?

"There's no rush for us to return to the capital. I can take you around. Where do you want to go?" the man asked.

"Will you let me go when I return to the capital?" Zuo Xiangning looked at him eagerly.

"It depends on whether you listen on the road or not."

"It's like I didn't say anything." Zuo Xiangning sighed, turned around and lifted the curtain to look out of the car.

She looked for a while and found that there was no movement behind her. She couldn't help but turn around and asked, "Aren't you afraid that others will come to save me again?"

"If he is not afraid of death, just come." The man stuffed a letter into his sleeve.

"You're not going to Yangzhou anymore?" Zuo Xiangning asked: "The four major rudders have all gone to Yangzhou."

"I know." The man looked at the woman's curious little face and asked, "Do you want to meet them?"

Zuo Xiangning tilted her head, looked at his cold mask, and said, "I don't want to see them, but I want to see your true face and know who you are, is that okay?"

"Whoever sees my true face must marry me. Are you still willing?" The man raised his hand and touched the edge of the mask.

"I don't want to." Zuo Xiangning quickly turned her head and looked aside.

The man's fingers touched the edge of the mask before putting down his fingers with a wry smile.

"Do you think a person's appearance is important?" the man asked, looking at the back of Zuo Xiangning's head.

Zuo Xiangning thought for a while, this man asking herself this question should be related to himself.

And he wears a mask every day, and nine times out of ten he looks extremely ugly and doesn't want to show off to others.

"It's better to look good than something that doesn't look good. And, at least, it can't be too scary. Otherwise, what if you see it at night and get scared to death?" The man snorted coldly, "Judging people by their appearance is short-sighted."

Sure enough, appearance is this man's bottom line.

"I'm telling the truth." Zuo Xiangning decided to prod him a little more, "If I were ugly, I don't think you would have the same attitude towards me now. Ugliness itself is not sinful, but it can directly affect others. Attitude toward you. Especially when an ugly and handsome person stand together, who wouldn’t like to see the handsome one at first glance? "

"Ignorance, stupidity!" The man muttered a few words in a low voice, stood up, and shouted to the outside of the car: "Prepare your horses!"

Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows and watched him lift the car curtain and jump out.

It seems that I really need to be careful. No matter who this man is, he definitely has other ideas about himself.

Maybe there was a reason why he didn't go to Yangzhou, because he wanted to follow him so that the King of Chu could find him an official position.

Zuo Xiangning was even more disgusted with the masked man.

In the evening, the carriage entered the city and stayed at a very luxurious inn.

The room Zuo Xiangning lived in was a large suite. The outside was for reception, the middle was the study, and the innermost was the inner room.

It was the first time for Zuo Xiangning to live in such a big room, and she was wondering if she would be scared at night, when the masked man who had not appeared for a long time appeared in her room.

Zuo Xiangning looked at him.

But he didn't look at her, "What are you looking at me for? Do you think such a big room is reserved for you alone?"

Zuo Xiangning blinked, "Are you going to stay in this room? How about I stay in the bed?"

"Yes." The man nodded and asked the waiter to bring the bathtub, "I want hot water."

Zuo Xiangning bit her lower lip, "You want to take a bath?"

"You don't want to wash it?" The man took off his shirt and said, "We may have to live in the car tomorrow."

"Are you sick?" Zuo Xiangning's eyes twitched and said, "Even if I no longer have human rights, I can't wash with you?"

"Who do you think you are?" The man looked at her slender figure and sneered, "With your body like a face plate, I can't tell you the truth. You have a pretty face, but it's not for nothing. vase."

Zuo Xiangning looked at her bumpy body, sneered, and rolled her eyes at him.

The waiter brought the bathtub in. Zuo Xiangning looked at the dark bathtub and felt that it was not very clean.

She washed her hands and face with hot water, briefly wiped her body, and put on an elegant long gown.

This is what the man prepared for her.

The soft and wide sleeves danced in the wind, like a blooming flower, swaying gently as she walked, as light and elegant as clouds, revealing an elegant and lazy beauty.

Zuo Xiangning touched the embroidery mixed with gold thread on the skirt of her clothes. She didn't know whether she should say whether this man was careful or careless.

He treated her in every detail, almost covering everything. Whether it was her food, drink, or the clothes she wore, he had prepared them in advance, but why couldn't he find a girl for her?

There was a knock on the door outside, Zuo Xiangning stepped forward and opened the door latch.

When the man saw what she was wearing, he hurriedly came in and closed the door behind him, complaining and said, "You are dressed like this, aren't you afraid of being seen?"

"How am I dressed?" Zuo Xiangning looked at her moon-white stand-up collared shirt and lavender floor-length skirt. "You didn't prepare me for wearing this? Besides, what's wrong with my clothes?" Already?"
