At nearly noon, the team entered Liangzhou City.

The entourage was taken away and resettled by Zhang Dahan, and Chu Zhao and others followed Zhang Xingzhou to the General Military Mansion.

The General Military Mansion was allocated to Zhang Xingzhou by the imperial court. It was very large and very impressive. Unfortunately, he was alone with no wife or children. The large mansion was deserted. Zhang Dahan and a few other brothers usually lived here with him. .

Ever since he learned that Chu Zhao was coming, Zhang Xingzhou had already arranged everyone's living quarters and prepared all the items. Especially the items in Chu Zhao's room were all personally selected by him, and every stitch and thread was made by others. .

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that a grown man like him would do such meticulous things.

As soon as Chu Zhao moved in, he felt his intentions and said to Xiao Chi: "Despite Zhang Xingzhou's rough appearance, he is actually really delicate on the inside. No matter what I leave to him, I will never feel uneasy."

Xiao Chi pouted: "Yes, yes, they are all good. Each of them is better than the other, but I am not. You might as well open a harem and collect them all, so that no one will have any regrets."

"Really or not?" Chu Zhao raised an eyebrow at him and said jokingly, "I'll count to three. If you don't change your mind after counting, I'll take it seriously."

She raised a finger and said: "One..."

"Stop counting, I'm just kidding." Xiao Chi didn't give her a chance to continue counting, grabbed her hand and pressed that finger back, "Your husband, my mind is not that broad yet. Don't say you didn't open a harem, even if you did open a harem, I will kill all the concubines one by one, so that you can only pamper me."

Chu Zhao sneered: "Don't think that all my beloved concubines are easy to mess with. When the day comes, it's not certain who will kill whom!"

Xiao Chi: "...Look, look, I just mentioned it, and you called for your concubines one by one. Did you have those little secret thoughts?"

"Hahahaha..." Chu Zhao laughed and raised his hand to push him, "Okay, don't be poor, quickly change out of your wet clothes, Zhang Xingzhou has prepared a banquet and is waiting to welcome us! "

The two quarreled for a while, changed clothes and went to the banquet room.

We had been apart for a long time, and there was so much to talk about. We had a welcoming banquet from noon to the second watch, and we still felt that we still had more to say.

They have been fighting in the field all year round, and none of them can drink much. Only Wei Lingxi is a lady of the family. She usually only drinks a few glasses of rice wine and never drinks it happily. Even Princess Huai'an can drink better than her.

Seeing everyone getting more and more excited as they drank and chatting more and more happily, she still felt like an outsider and couldn't fit in at all.

After the second update, no one said they wanted to leave. She couldn't sit still, so she quietly got up and left the banquet room.

Xu Hui watched with cold eyes. When he saw her going out, he got up and followed her out.

Although it is the end of the New Year, the atmosphere of the New Year does not seem to be transmitted to the ancient city of Bianguan. There is nothing but white snow as far as the eye can see.

Wei Lingxi couldn't help but think of the capital.

If she were still at home in the capital at this time, the family would have already started to prepare things for the New Year, and her mother would ask the best silk and satin shop in the capital to cut her all kinds of the latest clothes.

Their cousins ​​would also meet up to visit jewelry shops and rouge shops, buy a lot of colorful items, and then try them on one by one after returning home.

The servants at home are also busy hanging lanterns and colorful silks everywhere, wishing that every tree would be decorated to make it more lively and lively.

But now, she chased a man to this place where birds do not lay eggs. There was nothing but wind and snow.

Before, Princess Huai'an was able to keep her company on the road. Now, Princess Huai'an recognized General Zhang as her master and devoted herself to getting closer to her master. She was left alone, wandering around like a lonely ghost. Apart from the excitement of others.

She couldn't help but feel sad. She reached into her sleeves and grasped the handkerchief Xu Hui gave her.

Is it really worth it to only get this handkerchief after traveling for several months?

While thinking about it, a gentle voice sounded beside me: "You are homesick, aren't you?"

Wei Lingxi was startled, and turned around to see Xu Hui's gentle smile.

But his smile was so gentle, yet he felt so distant.

Wei Lingxi couldn't understand, how could a person be gentle and indifferent?

Perhaps, his gentleness is just a kind of politeness and a habit, not mixed with any emotion.

And all his feelings were given to the woman he could never get in his life.

"No." Facing his inquiry, Wei Lingxi shook her head stubbornly and lied, "I'm not homesick, I just came out for some air."

Xu Hui smiled and said, "It's not a shame to be homesick. There's nothing wrong with admitting it. For those who don't have a home, having a home is a luxury."

Wei Lingxi was stunned for a moment, tilted her head and asked him: "Don't you have a home?"

"No, my parents are gone a long time ago." Xu Hui said, "If they are still here, I definitely can't leave them behind and travel far away without hesitation like you."

Wei Lingxi was a little confused and didn't understand what he meant.

Xu Hui said: "If you want to go home, I can arrange for someone to take you back."

Wei Lingxi's eyes suddenly widened, and she suddenly realized: "No wonder you suddenly said this to me. It turned out that you had this idea. You wanted to send me away quickly so that I wouldn't pester you, right?"

"Yes." Xu Hui made no secret of his purpose, "I have no malice, nor do I hate you, but in my eyes, you are no different from a stranger. The reason why I came to talk to you is just to look at you. This journey has been really hard, and because you came here for me, I feel a little bit sorry, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to say this to you. I believe you can see that, except for the regent, I don’t treat anyone like that. If you have good intentions, you won’t sympathize with anyone casually.”

He said it so straightforwardly, without being tactful at all, nor did he think of being tactful. He didn't care at all whether his words would hurt other people's hearts.

Wei Lingxi looked at him, tears welling up all of a sudden: "Yes, I came after you out of wishful thinking, but I am not the kind of shameless person, and I have never taken the initiative to pester you along the way. Why do you have to say so?" So heartless?"

Xu Hui said, "I'm not calling this heartless. I just want you to give up and stop wasting your time on me. I won't be moved by any woman except the Prince Regent."

Wei Lingxi's tears became more intense.

He even talked about this and said that he was not heartless. Is there anyone more heartless than him in the world?

How could he do this?

His life was so long, how could he be so sure that he would not be tempted by other women?

Even if this is true, it's because he didn't give others a chance!

Not giving others a chance is the same as not giving yourself a chance.

So, is he not attracted to other women, or is he afraid that he will be, so he doesn't give her a chance?

Wei Lingxi was sad and angry, her mind was confused, and she didn't know what was going on. Suddenly she stood on tiptoe and put her arms around Xu Hui's neck.

"I don't believe it, I just don't believe it. If you don't even give it a try, how do you know you won't be moved?"

Xu Hui was startled and instinctively wanted to break away.

But the girl was like crazy, hugging his neck tightly and refusing to let go no matter how hard he tried.

He didn't dare to use too much force. The little girl's fingers were thinner and brittle than green onion. He was afraid that she would break them if he applied too much force.

While he was struggling, the girl's sweet fragrance lingered on his nose, making him feel an unprecedented panic.

In his two lifetimes, Xu Hui had never experienced being attacked by a girl like this. He didn't know what to do for a while.

He was afraid that someone else would suddenly come out of the banquet hall at this time. If others saw them like this, he would really not be able to tell.

In desperation, he had no choice but to strike Wei Lingxi on the back of the neck with his knife, knocking the little girl unconscious, then picked her up and sent her back to the room.
