The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 79 Distress
"Anyway, we can't catch up with the hairpin ceremony. Let's just hang out for a few more days." Ling Xiao said: "Tomorrow we will set off to Pearl Lake, stay there for a day, and then go to Wanshou Peak to see before returning to Beijing."

"Let's stay in Pearl Lake for one day and then return to Beijing." Zuo Xiangning looked at the towering Qianfo Mountain in front of her, thinking that the scenery of Wanshou Peak should also be beautiful.

The places Ling Xiao took her to were all unique and beautiful.

"That's fine." Ling Xiao knew that she was worried about her family in Beijing, "I will take you out again when I have the opportunity."

"Okay." Zuo Xiangning leaned against his chest gently, "You can take me out again later."

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you." Ling Xiao slapped the horse's butt hard, and the two of them headed towards Pearl Lake.

Two days later, Ling Xiao and Zuo Xiangning arrived in a town less than a hundred miles away from the capital and found an inn.

"I have informed my people that they will pick us up with a carriage soon. You take a shower first and change clothes. We will go to the city in the afternoon."

"No need to go to such trouble, just send me to my house directly. My girl is waiting for me there." Zuo Xiangning said: "I will stay there tonight and go back to my house at noon tomorrow. My eldest brother's house Please have the car delivered in the afternoon."

"Do you have a house outside?" Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Did you buy it together with the shop?"

"Yeah." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "It's a small house with a small garden. It's very beautiful."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask me before?" Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and smiled, "Besides, I had nothing to do with you before, so why should I tell you?"

"Not before, but what about after?" Ling Xiao pulled her into his arms and lowered his head and asked.

"I don't know." Zuo Xiangning blushed and pushed him away, "We are almost reaching the capital. Stay away from me and be careful about being seen."

"Then let's leave now." Ling Xiao flicked the dust on his clothes, "Just in time, I'll also visit your house. If you still need anything, just tell me. It will be my housewarming gift to you."

"I don't lack anything." Zuo Xiangning couldn't wait to let Ling Xiao see her small house.

Ling Xiao didn't wait for his guards and took Zuo Xiangning straight to the capital.

Less than thirty miles away from the capital, passing by a forest, Ling Xiao keenly noticed that the woods were surprisingly quiet.

He wrapped the woman in front of him tightly with his cloak and whispered in her ear: "Don't move."

"What's wrong?" Zuo Xiangning revealed one eye from her cloak, "Who did you see?"

"No matter what happens later, don't make a sound," Ling Xiao said quickly in her ear: "If I jump off the horse, you will keep running forward along the road without looking back. My people You should be able to run into them on the way here.”

Zuo Xiangning's fingers tightly grasped Ling Xiao's arm, "What happened?"

"Be obedient and don't ask anything. Only if you are safe can I..."

Before Ling Xiao finished speaking, he heard a "swish, swish" sound, and countless sharp arrows were shot at them from all around the dense forest.

He pulled out a soft sword from his waist, knocked all the arrows away, clamped his legs on the horse's belly and prepared to rush over.

But a sharp arrow pierced the horse's belly under his crotch. The horse fell to the ground, and Ling Xiao hugged Zuo Xiangning and flew to the top of the nearby tree.

He looked at the twenty or so men in black coming out of the woods on both sides, and secretly regretted it.

This time he was careless.

He thought that so many people stopped him when he left Beijing because they didn't want him to go to the border and thwart their plans.

But now that the situation on the border has been decided, no one can imagine the positions of Zuo Zixi and Jiang Muhuai, and he doesn't want any more trouble.

But he didn't expect that someone would stop him from returning to Beijing?He took out a flare from his arms and fired it into the sky. With a "bang" above his head, the men in black below had already surrounded him under the tree and fired randomly at the top of the tree.

Zuo Xiangning heard Ling Xiao groan and asked nervously: "What's wrong with you? Are you injured? You go away by yourself first, and then bring someone back to save me!"

"What are you talking about?" Ling Xiao tightened his arms, "As long as I have my breath, I can't leave you alone."

Zuo Xiangning's eyes were red and she looked at the man beside her, not daring to move for fear that she would disturb him.

"He sent a signal, and his people will be there soon. You guys hurry up and find a way to get up!" The people below were shooting arrows and said anxiously: "He is protecting someone in his arms and has difficulty moving. We can't take him out this time." If you kill him, we will all die!"

Zuo Xiangning's heart beat like a drum and she said urgently: "Leave me alone..."

"Listen to me, hug the tree and don't move, and don't look down. Their target is me. As long as I go down, they won't notice you anymore." Ling Xiao hugged her and kissed her on the top of her head. After a moment, he said, "You must hold on, my people will be here soon."

"Then don't go down first, wait..." Before Zuo Xiangning finished speaking, she saw someone crawling to their feet, holding a knife and preparing to chop Ling Xiao.

Zuo Xiangning was so frightened that she almost screamed.

"Don't be afraid." Ling Xiao jumped down from the tree and knocked down all the people on the tree.

When Zuo Xiangning was falling, she saw him pulling out an arrow from his calf, and blood splattered everywhere.

He dragged his injured leg and leaned against the tree, knocking all the people who were about to climb to the ground.

Zuo Xiangning watched dozens of bright swords slash at Ling Xiao, and closed her eyes in fear.

When he opened his eyes again, Ling Xiao's people had arrived and rushed into the encirclement.

Ling Xiao flew up the tree and hugged Zuo Xiangning, who was shaking all over, "Xiang Ning, don't be afraid, it's me, don't be afraid, it's okay!"

Zuo Xiangning opened her eyes, looked at the man in front of her, and asked nervously: "How is your leg?"

"I'm fine, don't be afraid." Ling Xiao carried her down.

The two of them took the carriage brought by the guards and went to Zuo Xiangning's courtyard.

Panxia and Pancui cried with joy when they saw Zuo Xiangning suddenly appeared. Before they could ask her about her situation, Zuo Xiangning sent people to ask Dr. Liu to come back.

She arranged Ling Xiao in the main room and looked at the half arrow shaft in his leg, feeling anxious.

"Is it particularly painful? If you bear it as long as you can, Doctor Liu will be here soon." Zuo Xiangning's eyes were red and she held his hand tightly.

"I don't feel any pain." Ling Xiao held her hand back, rubbed his thumb gently on the back of her hand, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Why hasn't Dr. Liu come yet?" Zuo Xiangning said anxiously to the door: "Pan Cui, please go and urge me."

Pan Cui and Pan Xia at the door were stunned by the intimate behavior of Zuo Xiangning and Ling Xiao.

Hearing Zuo Xiangning calling her, Pancui was stunned for a moment before replying: "I'll go now."

After a while, Pancui ran back in a hurry.

"Girl, shopkeeper Zhang sent someone back to deliver a message, saying that Doctor Liu went to Gu's house, and he has already gone to find him."

"Gu Mansion?" Zuo Xiangning stood up and walked to the door, "Which Gu Mansion?"

Ling Xiao looked at Zuo Xiangning's tense back and secretly repeated in his heart, Gu Mansion?
