The morning light outside the window was dim, and Ling Jue remembered that Chang Ning left in the morning. She also specifically asked A Miao to wake up earlier the night before so that she could see Chang Ning off. Chang Ning was also very surprised when she saw Ling Jue. She always went to bed late and got up late, so it was rare to get up early in the morning to see him off. Ling Jue didn't think anything of it. In order not to set a flag, Ling Jue didn't say much. But looking at Chang Ning's leaving figure, Ling Jue still hoped that nothing would happen to her when she went to the city lord this time. Lu Yeye and Ling Jue promised to bring Chang Ning back intact, and the palace in Hancheng is not a cannibal hell. The only possibility that Chang Ning will face is that the lion of Hancheng City opens his mouth, or he is at odds with Qingcheng. Work together to deal with Phoenix.

Ling Jue couldn't sleep after Chang Ning left. She got up and rummaged through her luggage, took out a Cuju and played football in the yard. A Miao heard the sound of Ling Jue exercising and advised her not to exercise early in the morning. The weather was already a bit cold now, so Ling Jue was wearing thin clothes and could easily get sick. But these words were not what Ling Jue was thinking about. She asked A Miao and seemed to confirm, "A Miao, do you think Chang Ning will be fine?"

"Chang Ning City Master knows things well, and nothing will happen." Seeing that A Miao spoke better than himself, Ling Jue realized that it was time for him to work harder, as his communication skills were not as good as A Miao's.

Ling Jue waited for a day but did not see Chang Ning come back, and Lu Ye did not come back either. Someone in the house is worried, saying that they are afraid that the Lord of Hancheng has been dissatisfied with Lu Ye recently and will take the opportunity to attack Lu Ye this time to show Lu Ye's shame. Ling Jue knew that nothing would happen to Chang Ning. She waited for a long time, and neither Chang Ning nor Lu Ye came back until late at night. After falling asleep, Ling Jue vaguely heard the sound of someone staying in her room. When Ling Jue woke up the next day, she found a jade pendant beside her pillow.

Yesterday, after Ling Jue went to bed, Lu Ye came back. Lu Ye told Ling Jue that Chang Ning only came back to pack his things and rushed to the front line. The Lord of Han City promised to send troops, but he had to pay taxes for ten years. Ling Jue heard this and thought Chang Ning was not Will agree. Lu Ye also said that he thought Chang Ning would not agree, but the Lord of Hancheng made another request, sending Ling Jue back to Hancheng to marry Lu Ye.

Lu Ye was a little embarrassed when he said this. This kind of forbidden love is indeed difficult to understand, but the sinister intentions of the city lord can also be guessed, which is to make Lu and Chang turn against each other after the incident. He is worthy of being an old fox who can become the city lord, and his scheming is deeper than that of today's young people.

"Chang Ning didn't choose me to marry you." She, Ling Jue, was originally a captured princess. In the final analysis, she was just an object. If Chang Ning really wanted her to marry Lu Ye, at least she would be guaranteed food and clothing. Wuyou, if Ling Jue didn't have a mission, she wouldn't resist at all. Although she may feel a little uncomfortable in her heart, she has a mission, so she should think about how to escape.

"I also thought that guy would do anything to achieve his goals, but I didn't expect that he would choose you." Lu Ye and Chang Ning have known each other for a long time. Under Lu Ye, Chang Ning is like an emotionless machine. He can The choice of Ling Jue also surprised Lu Ye. He originally valued love and righteousness, but now he appreciates Chang Ning a little more.

However, Ling Jue always inadvertently speculated on Chang Ning's thoughts with the greatest malice. Maybe he just wanted to make friends with Lu Ye. According to Ling Jue's inquiries, the Lord of Hancheng City has no children, and Lu Ye, his nephew, is the person he trusts most. If the Lord of the City dies suddenly, then the first heir will definitely be Lu Ye. The reason for establishing good relations with Lu Ye now is for future efforts. Ling Jue curled her lips, thinking that Chang Ning must be like this, but she was still a little happy in her heart. Chang Ning did choose her openly. But the jade pendant left by Chang Ning puzzled Ling Jue. Lu Ye told Ling Jue that jade was produced in Qingcheng. This jade pendant was probably something that had been with Chang Ning since he was born. Being able to give this jade pendant to Ling Jue now was also a feeling for her. Ling Jue couldn't believe it, but if Lu Ye added more fire, he would definitely be brainwashed. Fortunately, Lu Ye didn't understand the unique meaning of this jade pendant. He only told Ling Jue that Chang Ning was on his way to the front line. , and he, Lu Ye, would also go to support him after the Lord of Hancheng City gathered his troops. Ling Jue can stay here in Hancheng. It is absolutely safe here. Ling Jue also thinks so. In today's troubled times, it is not easy to find a safe place.

A few days after Lu Ye left, Chang Weng came to Hancheng.

"I've left the Haicheng side to someone I trust, so don't worry, princess." Chang Weng was indeed reliable in his work, but Ling Jue didn't know why he came here.

"The city lord has no children. He wrote me a letter before he went to the front line. If he can't come back, Qingcheng will be handed over to the princess." Ling Jue was hit in the head.

"Are you kidding me? Chang Ning and I are not related, so he gave me the country he conquered so easily?" Ling never understood, and neither did Chang Weng. He had watched Chang Ning grow up. He also knew how much hardship he had suffered since he was a child, but he never doubted his decision. Chang Ning was always safe in doing things, and he could count everyone into his own scheme.

"Here is a letter that the mayor asked me to give to you."

Ling Jue held the letter and slowly opened it, while Chang Weng left the room. The envelope was very heavy. In addition to the letter, there was also the key to Haicheng's treasure. Chang Ning wrote in the letter: Although we have known each other for a short time, Ning knows people's hearts. Princess Bingxue is smart and well-rounded. She is a pillar. If Ning passes away, I hope Princess Gu Haoqing The jade pendant I present to the city and the country is a certificate of the country. There is no need to worry. I hope the princess is in good health and lives a long life.

Ling Jue threw away the letter and burst into tears. She cursed Chang Ning as a bastard and called A Miao to prepare a carriage. She wanted to go to the front line in person. A Miao was very worried about Ling Jue. Although she looked tough, she was a girl after all, and her gender would not be taken into account on the battlefield. A Miao was not willing.

"A Miao, trust me, I can protect myself." A Miao finally sighed and agreed to help Ling Jue.

"But Miss, I will go with you this time." A Miao was worried about Ling Jue, and Ling Jue was also worried about A Miao. She was afraid that something might happen to A Miao. She didn't want to take her there this time, but she saw When A Miao insisted, Ling Jue had no choice but to agree, exchanging hearts for hearts. A Miao went to prepare after Ling Jue agreed.

This time we were going to the battlefield, so we couldn't be careless at all. Ling Jue took all the means to save his life before he officially set out on the road. The group of people crossed the border of Hancheng, and the first thing they saw was Hancheng's army. Hancheng's scouts discovered Ling Jue and reported it to Lu Ye, who immediately went out of the military camp and took Ling Jue back.

"Why are you here?" Lu Ye blamed Ling Jue. Why would a girl come to the battlefield if she didn't stay well in the rear? Moreover, Ling Jue was not a female general who had been practicing martial arts since she was a child.

"I'm looking for Chang Ning." Lu Ye thought about it for a moment and realized that the reason why Ling Jue was here was related to Chang Ning. "Do you know where he is?"

"Chang Ning's army is seven miles away from here, but he hasn't sent me any news for a long time." Generally speaking, Chang Ning should have reported the news to Lu Ye by this time, but Chang Ning has not sent any news during this time. He must have been delayed by something.

"I was planning to send someone over to take a look."

"Then can I go there too?" Ling Jue grabbed Lu Ye's arm with a sincere attitude. Lu Ye stopped talking as soon as he reached his lips. He had never rejected Han Qing, and Ling Jue, who was very similar to Han Qing, also found it difficult for him to refuse.

"Please, uncle." Lu Ye was completely shaken by this voice. He waved his hand and told Ling Jue, "You can go, but you must protect your own safety." Ni's dagger was given to Ling Jue.

"Thank you, uncle." After Ling Jue took the dagger and left, Lu Ye sent several trusted people to protect her, "Complete the mission first, don't forget to protect the princess."

"Yes." Several soldiers left the camp after receiving the order.

Not long after, they set off with Ling Jue, but A Miao was left in the camp by Ling Jue. Lu Ye ordered A Miao to help the army cook, but A Miao could only accept the order, but she was still worried about Ling Jue in her heart. After crossing the vast sea of ​​sand, Ling Jue and the others found Chang Ning's camp. When they saw that they were soldiers from Hancheng, they put down their bows and arrows and welcomed the soldiers into the camp. The girl who was protected by several soldiers let Qingcheng's The soldiers were surprised. Who she was and why she was here were written on all their faces. Ling Jue asked Xiang directly if they knew where Chang Ning was. The soldiers told Ling Jue that Chang Ning sneaked to Phoenix City with a team of people a few days ago and has not returned yet.

Moreover, Chang Ning also ordered that if he hasn't come back yet, unless Phoenix City takes the initiative to attack, he will stay here and don't take any action. Fortunately, the supplies from Hancheng and Haicheng were fast enough, so Qingcheng's soldiers were able to stand up for the first shift.

Chang Ning's trip to Phoenix City must be in danger. Ling Jue wondered if she could sneak in, but her face had already been seen by Huo Qing. If she rashly entered Phoenix City to look for Chang Ning, she might not be able to find Chang Ning. He was captured by Huo Qing and became a tool to threaten Chang Ning.

"Do you have any experts who can disguise themselves?" Ling Jue asked the people in the camp. At this time, a young soldier stood up and said, "The city lord took away my master a few days ago. , I have practiced with my master for many years, and my ability to disguise myself is not inferior to him. Believe me, if I use my skills, no one in the world will be able to tell who you are." Although this little guy was talking big words when he heard it, Ling Jue still chose to believe him, "Let's do this, I believe you, you help me disguise myself, and we will go to Phoenix City."

Legend has it that the residents of Phoenix City were born in the volcano, and in the long period of time that followed, the volcano natives established a remarkable civilization, and Phoenix City has become the only country with a desert on its back that is still rich and beautiful. The only shortcoming of Phoenix City is that it is too small and the city is overpopulated. Such hidden dangers led to Huo Qing's uprising half a year ago. He turned from a grassroots to a city lord with the hope of expanding his territory. And Huo Qing is really like what the people of Phoenix City say, he is the son of luck. He rarely loses the battles he fights, and it is difficult for a guy like Chang Ning to crack this bone. Lucky enough to see Huo Qing.

Ling Jue was disguised as a cargo boy. The young man who helped her disguise was named Yin Er. His master was a master of disguise who had lived in seclusion for many years. He originally did not want to be born, but he lost a bet with Chang Ning so he did so. Go out to help Qingcheng.

Yin Er also said that Chang Ning is the person he admires most, and he hopes that one day he can be as powerful as Chang Ning.

"Don't you think Chang Ning is scary? He killed so many people." Most children are afraid of Chang Ning, but believers like Yin Er are really rare.

"Master said that everything in this world has cause and effect. The city lord killed so many people because they planted the cause in him." Ling definitely didn't understand it very well, but he felt that what Yin Er said made some sense. , the master who took him must be even more powerful.

"Entering the city." Ling Jue reminded Yin Er. Two teenagers were carrying fresh fruits into the city. When it was their turn, several city guards first compared their faces with the picture albums, and then went to check their goods.

"Go in." Ling Jue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Before she could completely calm down, a soldier suddenly stopped her, "Wait, you are a little strange." The soldier suddenly grabbed Ling Jue's hand. , Ling Jue's hand looked very delicate, but there were bloody scratches on it, which shocked Yin Er who was standing aside. Why didn't he know that Ling Jue was injured? When he remembered that the general in the army told him Ling Jue must be protected, Yin Er can foresee the scene of his punishment.

The soldier glanced at Ling Jue's palm a few more times and let Ling Jue leave without saying anything. As Ling Jue expected, crossing the city gate may not be that simple. Yin Er has been in the army for many years and has calluses on his hands, so he will ignore that Ling Jue is a spoiled princess, so how can he have calluses on his hands. But without cocoons, it was inconsistent with their identities. Ling Jue thought for a while and finally made a few scratches on her palms, so that even experienced people couldn't tell whether she was a real servant. Afterwards, Yin Er found out why Ling Jue scratched himself, and then realized that Ling Jue was making up for his negligence. He blamed himself a little. If the master was here, he would not have made such a mistake, and if Ling Jue had not made up for it in time. They are already in prison now.

Ling Jue found that after she told Yin Er the reason, Yin Er's eyes became more adoring towards her and his actions became more attentive. The two of them first brought a small cart of fruit in exchange for some Suzaku City currency. Yin Er was stunned as he listened to Ling Jue's skillful negotiation. On the way to the inn, he praised Ling Jue as a real hero. After entering the inn, Ling Jue specially asked for a cheap room. Their current status was not suitable for extravagance and waste, and any wrong behavior could arouse others' suspicion.

The landlady threw the key to Ling Jue in disgust, "Go ahead, take the one at the end of the first floor." Arriving at the door of the guest room, Yin Er yelled at the landlady just now, "Isn't this just a woodshed? Give us this room. Sending beggars away."

Yin Er thought that it was okay to live on her own, but Ling Jue definitely couldn't. Ling Jue didn't think that she was not good enough. She also simply cleaned up and put the mattress on the thatch. Of course, she only made her own Yin Er still needs to do this part of the sorting. After the two of them have sorted it out, Ling Jue assigns a task to Yin Er, "Today we will go to the market outside to see if there is any news about Chang Ning."
