Chapter 76 Extraordinary
Zuo Zixi sent Zuo Xiangning back to her room.

"What happened?" Zuo Zixi asked with concern, "Were you attacked?"

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Do you still remember the man in white who rode with Xiang Ning a few days ago?"

"What's wrong?" When it came to his sister, Zuo Zixi couldn't help but asked nervously: "Xiang Ning said that she met the person named Bai on the road. Weren't you also there at the time?"

"The acquaintance I mentioned the day before yesterday is him." Ling Xiao frowned: "Before at Jin Min Mountain, I thought the enemies gathered there to assassinate you. Bai Fengyu's appearance there was just a coincidence, but this time at the enemy gathering place Less than ten miles away, I saw him again, and when I led people to chase him, I was surrounded by several masters, and the martial arts they used were not from the Central Plains."

The expression on Zuo Zixi's face changed slightly, "What about others?"

"Run away." Ling Xiao said unnaturally: "They have a large number of people and are highly skilled in martial arts. My personal guards are very valuable. I can't make unnecessary sacrifices with their lives."

"Then what are you going to do now?" Zuo Zixi asked, "Is it still too late for me to take someone there?"

"You may not be his opponent if you take someone with you." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he was afraid that Zuo Zixi would be embarrassed, and then said: "I have no other intentions, I am just seeking truth from facts. You'd better find someone to check, the enemy is like this What do so many people want to do when they enter the country to start a war? Moreover, if you find that person named Bai Fengyu, you must not act rashly and check in secret to find out where he came from."

"Who do you think he could be?" Zuo Zixi thought about it carefully and couldn't remember what the man looked like. He only remembered that he was wearing white clothes.

"I've asked people to check, but I'm afraid his name is all fake and it won't be easy to check." Ling Xiao was silent for a while and said: "I came here before, firstly to transport food and grass, and secondly. In order to see the battle situation on the border, now that the food and grass have been safely transported, the battle situation on the border has been stabilized by General Zuo and General Jiang before I came, so I won’t stay any longer, I want to take Xiang Ning back to the capital."

Zuo Zixi didn't want Zuo Xiangning to have more contact with Ling Xiao.

But he knew that if he couldn't send Xiang Ning back to Beijing, it would be safest to follow Ling Xiao back.

"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you due to my humble position." Zuo Zixi stood up and saluted Ling Xiao solemnly, saying, "Xiang Ning is the youngest child of the Zuo family. She has been deeply loved by her parents and brothers and sisters since she was a child. She is now She is still like a child, she is young and ignorant, and there are many things that she doesn’t know are the seriousness of them, so I ask the prince to be more tolerant of her and preserve her reputation, just to show pity to Wei Chen and the Zuofu family."

Ling Xiao knew what Zuo Zixi meant.

To put it bluntly, it was just that he was afraid that he would stain his sister's innocence, or that he would always give up.

"Don't worry, General Zuo, I will value her more than my life." Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to hold Zuo Zixi's arm, and said very solemnly: "Since I am planning to marry her, I will never let her have any problems." The slightest flaw.”

"I believe that the Crown Prince is a man who keeps his word." Zuo Zixi said with a relieved smile, "Then I'll go tell Xiang Ning and let her prepare too."

"Okay." Ling Xiao sent Zuo Zixi to the door and watched Zuo Zixi enter Zuo Xiangning's room.

Zuo Xiangning saw her eldest brother and asked anxiously: "Is he injured?"

"Why do you care so much about him?" Zuo Zixi sat at the table and poured a cup of tea. He looked at Zuo Xiangning and asked jokingly: "Don't you have nothing to do with him?"

"He is the eldest son," Zuo Xiangning pouted and sat next to Zuo Zixi. "If he was injured at my brother's place and the news came back to the capital, I'm afraid someone would use the situation to frame my brother."

"Thank you for your love, sister." Zuo Zixi smiled and said, "He is not injured. He will return to Beijing in the next two days. You will go back with him then."

"What about eldest brother? Are you going home for the New Year?" Zuo Xiangning asked with concern: "If eldest brother also goes back, I want to wait for him."

"I'm going to let my uncle go back to celebrate the New Year this year." Zuo Zixi said warmly: "If I have time next June, I will go back." "Then won't my eldest brother be the only one here to celebrate the New Year this year?" Zuo Xiangning She said distressedly: "How about I stay here and spend the New Year with my eldest brother?"

"I am celebrating the New Year here with the soldiers, and I am more free and happy than at home." Zuo Zixi was very moved after hearing Zuo Xiangning's words, and said with a smile: "Go back and stay with your mother and your eldest sister. I’m going to give birth after the Chinese New Year. Don’t you have a miracle doctor? Take good care of them for me.”

Zuo Xiangning knew that his eldest brother was not very close to the Zuo family because Mrs. Zuo and his father had disliked him since childhood.

"Okay, then I will write a letter to my eldest brother when I get home, and he will also reply to me a few more letters." Zuo Xiangning said softly: "Every time you write a letter, you should write a few more words, don't just write 'All's well' 'All's well'."

"Okay." Zuo Zixi smiled and nodded: "Tomorrow, I will take you to the city and buy something for everyone at home."

"But...except for my mother, I don't want to tell anyone that I have been to the northwest." Zuo Xiangning said with a bitter face: "If the old lady and father find out, they will be unhappy..."

"You can discuss it with your mother. It's up to you. You can also say that I asked the prince to bring the things back." Zuo Zixi smiled and touched the top of Zuo Xiangning's hair. "Get some rest early. You have to be early tomorrow." ."

"Brother, please rest early." Zuo Xiangning smiled and sent her eldest brother to the door.

Watching her eldest brother return to his tent, she looked at Ling Xiao's room on the other side.

She hesitated for a moment, then walked around from behind Zuo Zixi's tent and quietly entered Ling Xiao's tent.

But there was no one in the camp.

She stayed in the tent for a moment, and when she turned to go out, she heard footsteps coming from outside.

She dwarfed and hid behind the clothes rack nearby.

Heavy footsteps walked into the room, and then Ling Xiao's voice came, "Let me quickly find where Miss Zuo is?"

"I'm here." Zuo Xiangning walked out from behind the clothes rack and said with an awkward smile: "You have something to do with me?"

"When did you come in?" Ling Xiao asked the guard to exit and said with a smile, "I just went to your room to look for you."

"I was afraid that my elder brother would see him, so he walked around from behind his tent," Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips, touched her ears sheepishly, and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Ling Xiao also asked at the same time: "What do you want from me?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Ling Xiao said: "I want to tell you that in two days, we will return to the capital. Is there any place you want to visit along the way? I can take you around."

"Walking around?" Zuo Xiangning almost jumped up. She stepped forward and grabbed Ling Xiao's sleeve: "Are you telling the truth?"

A woman spends most of her life in a courtyard, never leaving the front door or taking a second step. If she can go shopping in the market, it will be an exciting thing for several days.

But now Ling Xiao actually promised Zuo Xiangning that he could take her around on the way back to the capital. How could this not make Zuo Xiangning excited?
