Chapter Eighteen

When Princess Xuan Han Su returned to Beijing, it was already early autumn, the vegetation on both sides of the official road was withered and yellow, and the branches and leaves had the thin frost of last night.

The carriage rolled across the dirt path, drove into the city gate, and finally stopped in front of the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion, which was full of vigor in the past, is now covered with white silk and satin. The servants also wore white and plain clothes, and their faces were full of sadness.

...the air of decay is everywhere.

Han Su, who was wearing white filial piety clothes, stood in front of the general's mansion. She stood there for a long time, until the old man in the mansion sighed, then wiped away her tears and left for the mourning hall.

When Han Su came back this time, he only brought a few maids with him, while King Xuan continued to stay in the fiefdom. Therefore, there was no need to worry about the green Zhaoyang Emperor, and he readily agreed to Jiang Ling's request.

After General Zhenbei entered the land, Han Su needed to keep his filial piety, so he temporarily stayed in the imperial capital, and Jiang Ling met Han Su at this time.

Jiang Ling's impression of Han Su has always been very good, and his senses have always been stuck in the "silly girl who even rescued her rival in love".She was a carefree girl, restraining her temper for Mei Shaoheng, wearing inappropriate clothes and headgear, longing to hold her hand and grow old together.

However, when Jiang Ling saw Han Su again, he realized that she was different.

The girl kneeling in front of the queue was wearing a white filial piety dress, her hair was braided and fell on her chest.Hearing the voice, Han Su turned her head and saw that it was Jiang Ling, she twitched the corners of her lips and smiled, "A Ling."

Probably due to lack of sleep, Han Su's eyes were dark blue and bloodshot, Han Su stunned Jiang Ling.

Han Su wanted to get up, but she knelt for too long, her knees were swollen, and when she got up, she staggered to one side.

Before she fell to the ground, a pair of hands that were so pale that you could see the veins under the skin firmly grasped her waist.

"Are your feet numb?" Jiang Ling asked.

Probably swollen...

After Han Su was stunned, she pursed her lips and replied, "Yes."

"Your father probably feels distressed when he sees you like this." Jiang Ling's voice was calm and low, "I'll help you to rest first."

After saying that, Jiang Ling didn't wait for Han Su's reply, he took Han Su's shoulders and took her to the nearest round chair to sit down.

"Daddy, he won't be sad."

Jiang Ling showed doubts.

Han Su lowered his head, and his voice was slightly dull: "Father has always been strict and has high demands on me. I have never seen him smile. If he sees me like this..." Han Su took a deep breath, "Probably he will be harsh Teach me a lesson, think I'm worthless."

"General Zhenbei is really a wonderful person." Jiang Ling praised.

Han Su raised his head, his eyes were filled with moisture, and his brows were tightly knit with heroic spirit, as if he was holding back tears.

"A loving mother and a strict father, if you weren't a father, how could you teach you so hard?" Jiang Ling smiled, "The general loves you very much, and probably hopes that you will be stronger and tougher in the future, so he is stricter."

Tears fell suddenly, and Jiang Ling, who wanted to comfort but ended up crying, collapsed.

Even the system began to accuse: "Host, you are bullying people again!!"

Jiang Ling is really innocent: "I am wronged."

"I made people cry from the very beginning, how are you going to complete the task! We agreed, you come to comfort Han Su today, and by the way, help the male lead improve his favorability, so that the female lead understands that the male lead doesn't care about her..."

The system chattered endlessly, and suddenly, the sound disappeared as if it had been choked.

Because Han Su got up suddenly and gave Jiang Ling a firm hug.

Han Su burst into tears and smiled: "A Ling, you are so kind."

Jiang Ling, who had framed Han Su, couldn't help coughing.

"Shaoheng also told me to ignore you, saying that you are deep in thought." Han Su pursed his lips, "I will not believe him, he is a liar."

Alarm bells rang in Jiang Ling's heart, and he finally understood the reason why the main mission was silent.

There is a gap in the relationship between the hero and the heroine!

The reason is still because of myself!

Jiang Ling began to praise against his will: "King Xuan is also doing it for your own good, you are straightforward, he is afraid that you will be deceived, and he also cares about you."

"Do you think so too?" Han Su answered irrelevantly.

"what?"

Han Su's cheeks were slightly red: "Frank and honest..."

Jiang Ling nodded quickly: "Yes." After the subject changed, Jiang Ling began to praise again, "Don't look at the handsome man born by King Xuan, in fact he is not very..."

"Thank you." Han Su smiled at Jiang Ling, "So in Ah Ling's heart, I am like this."

Jiang Ling: "..."

Jiang Ling decided to ignore this sentence and continue the topic just now: "Actually, King Xuan is not good at words, but you should be able to sense how nice he is to you, right?"

"it is good?"

"Yes." Jiang Ling continued, "Husband and wife, don't they just quarrel at the head of the bed? As long as he treats you well, what obstacles can we get over?"

Jiang Ling didn't intend to lose face, so he boasted desperately.

Han Su listened quietly, earnestly and focused, until Jiang Ling said that his mouth was dry, and Han Su said: "His little flattery, how can I compare with A Ling, you are so kind to me."

Han Su said like an oath: "Only you, Ah Ling, believe me at all times. I always remember what you said for me at the Qixi Festival banquet, and I will probably never forget it in my life."

"..." Around Jiang Ling, he was also dumbfounded.

"Host, your mission, mission!" The system exclaimed, "If Han Su has no feelings for Mei Shaoheng, everything will be over!"

Jiang Ling secretly threw the scriptures aside, and persuaded earnestly: "In the end, the only one who can accompany you for the rest of your life is your husband, Mei Shaoheng."

"Women are like clothes, brothers are like siblings, don't those men often say that?" Han Su said suddenly, took Jiang Ling's hand, and said forcefully, "I think it's right now, for me. Mei Shaoheng's dress is the prettiest at most, how can it compare to you, Ah Ling?"

Jiang Ling smiled awkwardly: "Haha, just be happy."

What else can he say?He was crushed to the point of being speechless by Han Su's sudden friendship wheel.

Later, Jiang Ling felt tired, so he let himself go and said whatever he wanted to Han Su without mentioning Mei Shaoheng.

Han Su really trusted Jiang Ling very much, and he didn't hold back his words at all: "Father was assassinated and died. After I came back, I checked the wound. There was only a sword wound on his chest, and he died with a sword..." His voice trembled, and Han Su continued, " Few people in this world can have such strength. But!"

"I will definitely make that person pay the price."

"...what are you going to do?"

Han Su's face was full of determination: "I want to become the new general of the Han family army."

In this matter, Jiang Ling can be sure, Han Su will definitely shine, because she did it in the original book, there is no reason why she can't succeed now.

Jiang Ling was extremely sincere: "In less than three years, you will definitely succeed."

Han Su looked into Jiang Ling's eyes and suddenly smiled: "A Ling, this is the difference between you and Mei Shaoheng. When I left the fief, I also said this sentence, but Shaoheng thought I was lying."

"Look, you are the only one who believes in me again."

Jiang Ling: "..."

Jiang Ling glanced at Han Su's super high favorability, and called the system in his heart: "Xiaohong, Xiaohong!"

"Here we come~ The matchmaker system is here to serve you."

Jiang Ling hated iron but steel: "Mistake, I thought Mei Shaoheng could easily take down Han Su, but I didn't expect that he couldn't even do that."

"Isn't this your fault?" The system despised.

"...I made a mistake in the strategy today, and accidentally said a lot of things wrong. Let's withdraw now, and continue the battle tomorrow!"

After getting the approval of the system, Jiang Ling planned to leave. Han Su practiced martial arts since childhood, and his body is strong.

Just after stepping out of the threshold, a red light flashed in front of Jiang Ling's eyes.

The system quickly prompted: "Host, someone is coming with a sword and a bow and arrow!"

In other words... there are assassins!

The status of the Han family in the Han family army was too high, and most of the soldiers only obeyed the orders of General Zhenbei.In order to prevent accidents, instead of putting Han Su under house arrest, it is safer to kill him directly.

Jiang Ling looked up and saw the iron light refracted on the gray tiles, which was the reflection of a sharp weapon in the sunlight.

"careful!"

The arrow teeth pierced through the air, Jiang Ling pulled Han Su into his arms and rolled to the side.

"Swipe brush-"

The neat teeth of the arrow are nailed into the stone slab. It is not difficult to imagine that if it hits someone, it will definitely penetrate the bone directly.

Jiang Ling subconsciously became Han Su's cushion, and when his shoulder hit the stone slab, he felt severe pain and his face turned pale.

"A Ling?" Han Su hurriedly stood up.

The surrounding attendants reacted, drew out the long knife at the waist, and shouted warning: "There are assassins, there are assassins!"

Amid the chaos, Han Su's voice was particularly distinct. She held Jiang Ling's hand, her voice trembling: "A Ling, you are bleeding."

Jiang Ling's pale lips overflowed with blood, which vaguely brought out a bit of strangeness.

"It's an old problem." As soon as Jiang Ling opened his mouth, blood flowed down his jaw.

"You saved my life, I won't let anything happen to you!"

The sound of the sword being unsheathed echoed in his ears, Han Su drew out the long sword of the attendant, and quickly swept towards the assassin.At the same time ordered: "Close the door!"

"Squeak-"

The heavy wooden door was closed, protecting the helpless maid inside, while the guards and Han Su went to defend against the assassin.

Jiang Ling, as a member of the "hands without the strength to bind a chicken", also stayed inside the door. When he got up from the cold ground, Jiang Ling stood quietly among the panic-stricken servant girls, listening to the faint sounds of battle.

After a while, Jiang Ling asked the system: "Are these assassins from Prime Minister Jiang?"

Emperor Zhaoyang had already made up his mind to put Han Su under house arrest, so he would not do anything more, especially King Xuan, so there were only those few left.

What really made Jiang Ling come to a conclusion was that just now he and Han Su were standing in a row, but those arrow teeth all avoided his position.

Because, he is the "daughter of the Jiang family", the daughters of those assassin masters naturally dare not hurt him.

"That's right." The system confirmed Jiang Ling's guess.

Jiang Ling wiped the blood from his lips, and smiled a little: "It seems that the weather is going to change."
