For Ling Qingchen, this day was like thousands of gods and Buddhas were blessing him alone.

He always thought that the person in Xie Jinzhao's heart was Lu Changyuan. After all, they had been destined to be together since childhood, and later, Xie Jinzhao married Lu Changyuan.

He didn't even dare to dream that one day Xie Jinzhao would fall in love with him.

Previously, he thought that Xie Jinzhao was lying to him when she said she liked Ling Jinglan because she didn't want to marry him. At that time, although he had some hope, he was also very self-aware.

Only at this moment, when Xie Jinzhao said these words in his arms, did he truly feel her care for him, but he still wondered if this was an illusion because he had been seeking for it for a long time but could not get it?

It wasn't until he saw her off the door and she sat on the horse that he suddenly came to his senses.

He was really afraid that this was just a beautiful dream. When he woke up, she would be Lu Changyuan's legally married wife. She only wanted to be the mistress of the Duke Dingguo's mansion, live in the backyard and avoid the world.

Ling Qingchen grabbed her wrist and said, "Zhao Zhao, do you still like Lu Changyuan?"

"I don't like him!" Xie Jinzhao shook her head and wanted to beat him up. She had divorced Lu Changyuan, so how could she still like him?

"Why don't you like it?"

Hadn't she liked him since childhood? They were betrothed, childhood sweethearts, and she could even tolerate Lu Changyuan taking a concubine, so why didn't she like him?

The more regretful Lu Changyuan is now, the more nervous Ling Qingchen is. He is afraid that the two of them will rekindle their relationship, oh no, get back together.

Xie Jinzhao stared at Lu Changyuan with his calm black eyes, gnashing his molars. Doesn't he understand the principle that a good horse never turns back to eat the grass it has left?

Besides, if she still likes Lu Changyuan after her rebirth, she must be hopeless!

"Why, you still want me to like him and get back together with him?" Xie Jinzhao smiled, "How about I go find him now and ask for his opinion?"

"No! You can't go!" Ling Qingchen jumped on the horse and hugged her tightly in his arms, almost breaking her ribs. "Don't be with him anymore, I'm afraid I will kill him! Zhao Zhao, don't like other people anymore. I like you and I will always treat you well!"

The city gate was opened and Xie Jinzhao ran into the wind.

The cloak fluttered behind him and his black hair flew in the night wind.

Qizhou is to the west of Shangjing and was Qinzhou in the past. It faces the water to the south, and south of the Cangwu River is the territory of Southern Chen.

The Northern Qi and Southern Chen were governed across the river. For more than 30 years, the Northern Qi wanted to attack them and the Southern Chen wanted to attack them. There was never a single day of peace.

In fact, there has been no peace on the road since leaving Shangjing City. Refugees are roaming everywhere, robbers are everywhere, and spies sent by Southern Chen and Xiliang can be seen everywhere. The prosperity and comfort of Shangjing City is like a dream. This is the mundane world.

In the evening, when the sun sets, a sharp wind whistles in from outside the Great Wall, blowing on people's faces, enough to peel off a layer of skin.

At the gate of Qizhou city, Xie Jinzhao, dressed in tattered and dirty black robe, looked up and saw a city wall several meters high, made of ancient bluestone. On the city wall, arrow towers stood in an interlaced pattern. Soldiers in armor were holding swords, spears and arrows. The afterglow shone on them, reflecting cold rays of light.

Qizhou was a fortress city for Northern Qi.

The city is majestic and magnificent, which is shocking.

It was dusk, and there were many pedestrians and carriages coming and going.

Xie Jinzhao paused for a moment at the city gate, then walked towards it. She had a slender figure, handsome eyebrows and eyes, and was free and easy. However, both the horse under her crotch and the clothes on her body were very shabby, making people stay away from her.

"Stop, where did this enemy spy come from? Catch him!"

Before Xie Jinzhao could get close, a soldier holding a fork blocked her horse's head. The horse was forced back and neighed.

Although this young man has a handsome appearance, look at the beggar's clothes and the shabby horse he rides. Although he has a steady aura, he was snooping around the city gate for a long time just now, and it is obvious that he is not a serious person.

"Why won't you let me in?" Xie Jinzhao got off the horse and took the reins in her hand. She respected the soldiers guarding the city gate. She knew along the way that there were many spies in the enemy country, so it was better to be cautious.

But the key point is that she is not!

There were about ten people in front, and the leader was a nobleman dressed in gorgeous clothes. He turned his head, looked Xie Jinzhao up and down, and winked at the manager beside him.

The steward came over and stuffed a silver ingot into the soldier's hand. "This young man is with us. My master sent him to do something. He came back in a hurry. It's not decent to see him."

The soldier took the silver and seeing that Xie Jinzhao was young and did not look like a spy, he nodded and let her pass.

Xie Jinzhao almost vomited a mouthful of blood, and felt uncomfortable because of the blockage in his chest.

"Hello, young brother. My surname is Wang. Nice to meet you!" Wang Xu walked over and greeted Xie Jinzhao.

"Yun Qingxiao, nice to meet you!" Xie Jinzhao nodded and looked at Wang Xu, unable to tell where he came from. "Brother, are you from Nanchen?"

Wang Xu was secretly surprised and smiled awkwardly, "I'm a businessman who sells southern goods in the north. I didn't expect that my brother would see through me at a glance."

Xie Jinzhao was just guessing, because they didn't look like people from Xiliang. If they were from Northern Qi, it would be a bit unreasonable for such a noble young man to run around everywhere instead of staying in Shangjing City.

Besides, among this group of people, only Young Master Wang doesn't know Kung Fu, the others are all very skilled.

"I'm just guessing, please forgive me, brother!" Xie Jinzhao said as he looked around Qizhou City.

"Brother, is this your first time in Qizhou City? If you are not familiar with the place, I will treat you as my host. You may as well come with me." Wang Xu was very enthusiastic.

"Then I'll trouble you, brother!" Xie Jinzhao also wanted to find out what kind of people this was.

After she agreed, she saw the steward exchanged glances with Wang Xu. The steward probably didn't want to travel with Xie Jinzhao to avoid unnecessary trouble. Wang Xu's expression did not change, and he invited Xie Jinzhao to stay with them.

When they arrived at the inn, Xie Jinzhao entrusted the horse to the inn's waiter. She planned to go shopping for a while. "Brother Wang, I'll find a shop to sell some clothes. I'll talk to you later."

"Why bother making a trip yourself? If you want to buy any clothes, I'll ask my people to get it for you." Wang Xu has an upright figure, tall and graceful body, and a gentle and elegant demeanor.

Xie Jinzhao was a woman who would rather wear rags than wear clothes that had been touched by other men. She waved her hand and said, "I just wanted to go shopping. I've never been here before."

Wang Xu didn't want to force it, so he said, "Then I'll wait for Brother Yun to come back at the inn, and we'll have a drink and chat in the evening."

As soon as she left the inn, she saw a horse running towards the city gate. The young man on the horse was carrying a pot of arrows and shouting as he ran, "Fufeng County is in danger! Fufeng County is in danger!"

She ran forward quickly, intending to find out clearly.

Behind her, the young man was staring at her back. The handsome face of the boy lingered in her mind. She always felt that she seemed to have seen this face somewhere.
