Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

Xie Jinzhao and Ling Jinglan left the camp. They still had some time and were quite tired, so they found an inn in a nearby town and asked for two rooms.

After asking the shopkeeper to bring up some food, Xie Jinzhao first wanted to take a bath.

When she went to find Ling Jinglan, he had already washed up.

The food is already on the table.

After staying up all night, Xie Jinzhao was really hungry. He didn't have time to talk and started eating first.

After she was half full, she finally had the strength to speak, "Why are you in Lu Changyuan's military camp?"

Ling Jinglan ate very politely and slowly. No matter how hungry he was, he always maintained a very elegant rhythm. He gave her a meaningful look and said, "If I wasn't here, I wouldn't have known that Lu Changyuan was such a gossiper and would even say bad things about me in front of you."

Xie Jinzhao was stunned for a moment, "What bad words did you say?"

After asking, she regretted it and saw Ling Jinglan's face visibly darken.

Once he entered the room, he didn't wear a mask.

He ignored her and occasionally ate a few bites while picking up some food for her. He picked out the bones from the fish and put the fish pieces on her plate.

Xie Jinzhao realized belatedly that Ling Jinglan had heard all the nonsense Lu Changyuan said. He had profound skills and his five senses were very strong, so he was probably not far away at the time. If he wanted to listen, he would have heard it.

Xie Jinzhao tilted his head and looked at his silent face, finding it a little funny that he could actually be angry.

In the past, Ling Jinglan never got angry in front of her. No matter how stubborn and inflexible she was, or how irritated he was, he would not show his anger to her. At most, he would just laugh and scold her. If he got angry, he would just rub her head.

At that time, he was King Zhuang and was stationed in the northern border, so the number of times they met was very limited.

In fact, if she looked at it from a chronological perspective and paid a little attention, she would be able to discover that every time she saw Ling Jinglan, it was Ling Qingchen returning to the court to report on his work or being recalled by the emperor.

"Are you angry already?" Xie Jinzhao was in a rare good mood and wanted to coax him.

Ling Jinglan lowered his eyes, his long and curled eyelashes drooped down, covering his eye sockets, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, but slowly, under Xie Jinzhao's gaze, his cheeks began to turn red, like clouds, slowly spreading to his ears and neck, especially his ears, which were so red that they seemed to be bleeding.

Xie Jinzhao was a little surprised that someone who was always calm and composed in front of others could be so shy.

She just stared at him for a few more seconds.

"Eat!" Ling Jinglan put the peeled fish meat in her bowl, but he couldn't resist her gaze after all.

"Tell me, what are you angry about?" Xie Jinzhao was not very good at guessing other people's thoughts. Even though she and Lu Changyuan had been husband and wife for so long in her previous life, she rarely paid attention to it.

If Lu Changyuan was hiding something from her, it would definitely come true.

She could focus her attention on her enemies, but rarely paid attention to the people around her. The reason, now thinking about it, was probably because she had never loved.

The food was cleared away, and everyone was given a cup of tea. Ling Jinglan held the cup and pondered for a moment, then raised his head, feeling aggrieved. "Do you think I will kill you? You said that if there comes a day, you will commit suicide in front of me. So that's what you think in your heart?"

Xie Jinzhao was stunned for a moment. She actually saw sadness in Ling Jinglan's eyes.

"No, I just said that." Xie Jinzhao felt guilty that she had done something against the will of heaven and earth. For some inexplicable reason, she actually felt ashamed and hurt his heart.

"Jin Zhao, if I make you have such thoughts, or rather, such worries, I would rather give up. I don't seek that position, but I can still find a way to lead the army to fight against Southern Chen. If the court doesn't trust me, there is still Feng Ye Ting Hai."

He looked at Xie Jinzhao, "I know that no matter what I say, it will be hard to convince people. But I still want to say that I am not Xiao Shengyuan, and you are not Xie Yunni. No matter what, I will never let us go to that point."

You are more important than anything in my life, even my own.

Xie Jinzhao was a little confused, "I know, you don't have to tell me this, I know it all."

A dark color flashed across Ling Jinglan's eyes, and he turned his head away, "You don't know!"

"I really know. Jinglan, I believe in you as I believe in myself. Really, I have never doubted it. The reason I say that is because that is what I think. I also believe that if I want your life, you will give it to me."

Ling Jinglan felt a little better, but was still very dissatisfied. However, having this trust was much better than having none at all.

He sighed quietly, raised his hand and stroked Xie Jinzhao's hair, thinking, what should I do with you? You seem smart, but you are actually a little fool.

Not wanting to talk to her about this, Ling Jinglan asked, "As long as there is an advance warning, the exquisite formation of 500 death warriors will not be enough to trap 10,000 troops even if they have the advantage of terrain. Why bother training the long snake formation? What conspiracy do you have?"

Xie Jinzhao smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Originally, I wanted to use the Changliu Sect to do this. Since you are here, you can come with me. Let's make a thousand-mile raid and capture someone alive. This way, we can easily contain the Wang family's assassins."

"Envoy from Southern Chen?" Ling Jinglan asked.

"Yes, if it weren't for the exquisite formation, I really wouldn't have guessed that the envoy from Nan Chen this time was actually Wang Xu. I don't know what that old man Wang Lin is planning to be willing to spend so much money."

Not long after Xie Jinzhao left Qizhou City, Wang Xu also followed him out of the city gate.

Evil Wind Ridge was the location he chose.

It was just daybreak, and after a short while on the rugged mountain road, the carriage arrived at Evil Wind Ridge. Standing at the highest point, with the road leading to Shangjing City at one end, one could vaguely see the tall city walls of Yongzhou.

The other end leads to Fufeng County.

The forest is dense, the mountains are undulating, and the towering bamboos block out the sun. There is only one road that passes through the ground. Even if 10,000 people hide in it, it is difficult to be easily discovered.

The counselor said, "Sir, Lu Changyuan is a veteran who has been through many battles. It should be difficult to trick him if we ambush him here."

Wang Xu smiled and said, "Ge Guang only knows my first move, but he doesn't know that I have a back-up plan. It's not easy to train five hundred exquisite warriors. How can I bear to bury them all here?"

He pinched his fingers, smiled triumphantly towards the sky, and just happened to meet Xie Jinzhao who was sitting on a bamboo pole. The fox mask was painted with bright peach blossoms, which dazzled his eyes for a moment.

A rouge-colored soft sword came towards him. He only had time to say "rouge sword" before the sword whipped his body with a snap. A cramp-like pain came over him, and with a scream, Wang Xu lost consciousness.
