Su Xuxu wanted to hold herself firmly in the palm of her hand, but Rong Ling wanted her to know that she didn't belong to anyone after all.

Everything that happened tonight was in Rong Ling's plan, even Rong Qingshan only half understood.

The two went out of the city against the wind all the way, the horse was bumping, the cold wind mixed with the occasional drizzle hit the face, like a fine knife cutting, but Rong Ling felt very comfortable and refreshed.

Because she was worried about chasing soldiers, she and Rong Qingshan were silent all the way, and when they arrived at a joint, they changed to a well-stocked horse. After changing two horses in succession, the sun was already in the sky, so they left The capital is hundreds of miles away.

In order not to leave traces, they did not follow the official path.

At noon, the sun was bright and clear, Rong Ling and Rong Qingshan got off their horses and entered a small shop next to the fork in the road.

There are people on the go here, except for the only boss, no one noticed Rong Ling and Rong Qingshan, they picked a corner and sat down, and each of them asked for a big bowl of noodles before finally I have time to talk.

Rong Qingshan watched Rong Ling gasping for breath from the hot noodles, her thin lips couldn't help but raised a little, she ate slowly and said, "Miss A Ling, can you think about where to go in the future?"

"What about you?" Rong Ling tilted his head to look at her, "Master Rong sacrificed his life to rescue me from the palace, so I'm afraid he doesn't plan to return to Beijing, does he?"

"You guessed it." Rong Qingshan said, "The noble concubine is becoming more and more powerful in the imperial court. If I stay in Beijing, I will only become a turtle in the urn. It is better to retreat to the frontier temporarily. General Chen who was stationed in the northern border used to be my father. I was rescued, and I swore to be loyal to the Rong Mansion for the rest of my life, and would never do anything to betray me."

Taking retreat as advance is indeed an idea that people like Rong Qingshan can come up with.

Rong Ling nodded: "What about Concubine Rong?"

"Ou'er was reluctant to leave the imperial city at first, and I had privately ordered someone to knock her out and send her to the frontier." Rong Qingshan confessed.

Thinking of the arrogant Concubine Rong being transported away as cargo, Rong Ling couldn't help but smile a little, she nodded: "Okay..."

"I originally wanted Miss A Ling to go to the border with me." Rong Qingshan said, "It's just that you and I are together, it's too conspicuous, it's better to separate."

More importantly, Rong Qingshan knew one thing well: "A Ling is a free-spirited person, and he must not want to jump into the small world of the frontier from the cage of Weiyang Palace."

Even if she insisted on inviting her, she might not be willing to accompany her.

Rong Ling was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Rong Qingshan to be so considerate for him.

Just as she was in a daze, Rong Qingshan had already pulled out a stack of banknotes: "These money, just treat it as a burden on your way. After this meal, you and I will part ways. Miss A Ling, take care."

Any piece of money in Rong Qingshan's hand is enough for ordinary people to live a good life for a lifetime.

She didn't ask for anything in return, she took herself out of the capital without saying anything, and gave herself such a generous amount of money.

Rong Ling couldn't tell what it was like for a moment: "Lord Rong should have heard what those people were talking about me last night, isn't he afraid that I'm a monster?"

Rong Qingshan had already put this matter behind her, and she smiled slightly when she heard this: "Even if you are really a monster, you won't hurt Rong, so why should I be afraid?"

Her expression was calm, and the grievances in Rong Ling's heart disappeared in an instant.

She took the bank note and put it in her pocket: "Okay, Qing Mu also take care along the way."

Everyone has their own future, separation is inevitable, Rong Ling did not feel sad, after dinner, he waved goodbye to Rong Qingshan.

One of them headed west to the border, and the other went south to avoid Su Xuxu's pursuers. In the blink of an eye, each other's figures disappeared into the woods.

Relying on the spiritual power in his body, Rong Ling is not afraid of any wolves, thieves and bandits, and will always choose the path to choose.

She killed any danger she encountered along the way, and what she ate was hares and wild fruits.

After going on like this for three days, Rong Ling couldn't bear it after all, so he followed the main road to the nearest town.

Unexpectedly, before entering the city, officers and soldiers were checking at the door.

Rong Ling lowered his head, and heard the people in front complaining: "I heard that there is a little girl in the palace who got lost, and the imperial concubine is offering a reward of a thousand gold. As long as she is found, she can be appointed an official and a noble."

Another person said: "What is there to find for a little maid? Could it be that the imperial concubine has taken the place of the emperor, and she has too much money to go on a mission?"

"Don't dare to talk nonsense, we little people, we don't care who is sitting on the dragon chair, as long as we live a stable life..."

The few people chatted so wonderfully that they didn't even notice that Rong Ling, who was looking gray behind him, was the little maid they were talking about.

Rong Ling's attire was originally deliberately dressed like this in order not to attract people's attention.

In addition, she deliberately smeared a few handfuls of dust on her face, and no one cared.

Seeing that the guard was checking carefully, Rong Ling lowered his head slightly, and under the cover of his black hair, he quietly changed his appearance with lily pads.

Sure enough, when it was Rong Ling's turn, the guard who was holding the painting looked at it very carefully, but the other person beside him laughed heartily: "The maid in the painting looks as white and bright as the moon, and she is not even half similar to this crow-like woman." ?”

As soon as the words came out, the people around burst into laughter. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Rong Ling walked into the town and picked the most stylish inn to stay in.

After eating and washing up, Rong Ling was finally able to think about where he should go after lying in the soft bedding.

Leaving Su Xuxu was the path she chose, so naturally she would not look back.

But she lived in this world, didn't she just want to get the Baiyelian that belonged to Su Xuxu?

Just thinking about it gave Rong Ling a headache.

She decided to put this long-term goal on hold for the time being, and think about what she should do now.

When they were eating just now, Rong Ling learned from the waiter in the shop that this town is only half a day's waterway away from the prosperous and prosperous Yangzhou city, and many wealthy locals buy houses in Yangzhou.

She was alone as a woman, so she was very conspicuous in a small place, so it's better to go to Yangzhou city and settle down first. There are people coming and going in the city, fishing in troubled waters, and it's hard for Su Xuxu to find her.

After making up his mind, Rong Ling stopped worrying.

These days, she came here on horseback, and sometimes she was so sleepy that she almost fell off the horse. Now that she could finally take a good rest, Rong Ling fell into a deep sleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

The next day, it wasn't until noon that there was a knock on the door outside, and Rong Ling had to wake up, and heard the voice of Xiaoer outside: "Miss, are you awake?"

"What's the matter?" Rong Ling got up, opened the door and asked.

Unexpectedly, when she came in yesterday, she was still a dusty woman, but now she turned into a delicate and beautiful woman, Xiao Er couldn't help being stunned, and then remembered what she wanted to say: "The little one just asked, it's time for lunch, does the girl want to eat?" ?”

For the sake of convenience, the inn always cooks in large pots, and it will be much more troublesome to order a la carte after hours.

"Hmm..." Rong Ling responded, "Yes, I'm sorry."

Although she has changed her appearance a lot, it is difficult to conceal the nobleness in her words and demeanor, so Xiaoer dared not look more, and left in a hurry.

After lunch, Rong Ling took the waterway to Yangzhou City according to yesterday's plan.

She has nothing but money. When she arrives in Yangzhou, she still lives in the best hotel, eats the most exquisite food, and goes with her every day to see if there is any house she likes.

Since you want to live, of course you have to live in a suitable place.

It took Rong Ling a full six or seven days to choose, before he finally found a house that suits him.

Although this place is in the middle of a busy city, it is hidden in an alley, quiet in the middle of the noise, and no one bothers you.

The previous homeowner was not good at doing business, so he had to sell it, so the price was not high, and he also sent a lot of expensive furniture with the house.

The house he entered was not too big or small, and it was just right for Rong Ling to live alone, and there were still a few rooms available.

She didn't hesitate to buy it when she saw it.

Originally, according to Rong Ling's temperament, it would be better to have a woman who cooks or a maid who sweeps the house, but there are too many people talking, so she can't rest assured. At first, she didn't find a servant, and she cleaned it all by herself.

It wasn't until after settling down that Rong Ling gradually got to know the surrounding neighbors, so he found two trustworthy people to help with cooking and washing.

In a flash, it was a full month.

Su Xuxu was really like what Rong Qingshan said when he parted, he was caught up in the affairs of the court, so he didn't have time to find himself for the time being.

Therefore, Rong Ling gradually put down his guard, and lived a comfortable and comfortable life without leaving the house.

The originally dilapidated house in spring was also planted with green leafy vegetables by the mother-in-law and maids, and chickens were raised behind the empty yard. The silence of the noise of carriages and horses.

When Rong Ling had nothing to do, he would pick vegetables by himself, water the seeds, and sprinkle a handful of rice grains to feed the chickens.

What surprised her was that the Baiyelian in her hand didn't wither after leaving Su Xuxu, but kept full of spiritual power every day.

Rong Ling couldn't figure it out until one day when he saw his mother-in-law beaming with joy, she said: "You don't know if you don't go out, you don't know. When you come in, according to the imperial concubine's will, the price of rice has dropped a lot. What about taxes..."

It was only then that Rong Ling realized that although Su Xuxu was far away in the capital, every decree she issued and every order related to the people was by Rong Ling's side.

Under the whole world, could it be the king's land.

She seems to have escaped far, but she has always lived under Su Xuxu's wings.

But in this way, Rong Ling was also relieved, at least she didn't have to worry about leaving Su Xuxu, what would happen if the lily lotus in her hand withered.

As for the present illusion, at worst, she would just live well and wait until the day when Su Xuxu died, and then pick up the ready-made ones.

The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, the blue waves are rippling, the peach branches are burning, and even the little girl who sings the song has a soft and sticky voice.

I am afraid that I will not feel bored after living a life like this.

It's just that as the days go by, the money is spent like flowing water.

As the saying goes, spending money is like a mountain, earning money is like spinning, no matter how many bank notes Rong Qingshan left behind, it is not enough for Rong Ling to use. If you want to eat and clothe yourself, you must earn money.

For the first time in his life, Rong Ling began to worry about making money.

For this reason, she also had to go out and wander around the streets to see what would make the most money.

First of all, it is not good to do big business. She is alone, so others may not trust her, and she is too ostentatious, which is easy to attract people's attention.

Shops that sell food like restaurants are not good either. Not to mention that they can’t make a lot of money every day when they wake up early and late, and they have to work hard to manage the people under them, which is too tiring.

It's a small business... and I can't make much money.

After thinking about it, Rong Ling finally found the most suitable business for her - opening a pharmacy.

As long as you are human, you will always get sick. When you can't stand it anymore, you will naturally come to the pharmacy.

Although Rong Ling didn't know much about medicine, she had almost inexhaustible spiritual power.

Just do what you say, and after finding the right direction, Rong Ling bought a shop, went around to buy medicinal materials, and finally recruited a doctor for daily consultations.

If it's an ordinary ailment, the doctor will prescribe the medicine, and there's no need for Rong Ling to come on stage.

If a patient is seriously ill, Rong Ling will quietly put his spiritual power to use.

But in just half a month, the nearby residents all knew that there was a medical clinic that could cure all kinds of diseases at the end of the alley, and they all came to Rong Ling's place if they had a headache.

Ordinary people came to ask a doctor, how much Rong Ling should charge, but if she met a rich man with an intractable disease, she would quietly knock him off.

After going back and forth, Rong Ling's small treasury finally changed from the state of only being able to get in and out, and gradually became full.

As the weather warmed up day by day, Rong Ling took off his thick jacket, put on a light yellow thin shirt, and walked into the hospital.

She also held a snow-white pear blossom picked from the yard in her hand, and inserted it into the vase on the table in the medical hall.

When the doctor in the clinic saw her coming in, he immediately greeted her, "Miss Lin is here?"

"Hmm..." The person who responded was Rong Ling. Since she wanted to hide from Su Xuxu, she naturally wouldn't use her original name. She just told everyone around her that she was originally from the north. Her husband died at home, and she felt sad. Moved to Yangzhou alone.

Pretending to be a widow is quite useful, at least in order not to touch Rong Ling's sad things, few people will ask about her past.

Seeing the doctor packing up the medicine box, she asked, "Sir, are you going out for consultation today?"

"That's right. Anyway, there are not many people in the store today, so it's better to go to the nearby village to have a look." Li Langzhong replied, "Ms. Lao Lin is visiting the store today."

Li Lang has a kind heart and would go out for free consultations from time to time, so Rong Ling has no reason not to let him go.

The sunny day in the south of the Yangtze River in April was beautiful, and there was no one in the store, so Rong Ling simply hid behind the counter, ate preserved fruit, and flipped through the storybook.

Speaking of which, she only recently learned about reading scripts from the maid who served her.

There are everything that should be said in the market, and it is different from those dramas that pretend to be talented and beautiful, these stories are full of content, making people want to stop.

Rong Ling even ate melon seeds from time to time, and it seemed that it was midnight.

For example, last night, she only rarely fell asleep when she saw the candle lamp could not be extinguished, and today she has time to continue watching.

Just as Rong Ling looked at it, the upper eyelids gradually became heavy.

The rocking chair swayed, and she began to doze off intermittently, and the words in her hand fell to the ground.

The spring breeze brought warmth, Rong Ling fell into a drowsy sleep, and suddenly heard a rustling sound from the counter.

She just thought it was a cat in the medical center catching mice, and she didn't raise her eyes.

However, the other party seemed to be tiptoeing, and when he exited, he accidentally bumped into the corner of the table and let out an "oops", and then the vase on the table shattered to the ground.

Rong Ling opened his eyes subconsciously, and saw a black shadow jumping out from the door.

Only then did she realize that the drawer with the money on the counter had been quietly opened at some point, and it was empty.

The man just now must be a thief, Rong Ling hurriedly got up and chased outside without thinking.

"Stop—" Thinking of the money he had finally earned being stolen, Rong Ling was so angry that his liver hurt, and he chased after him.

Unexpectedly, that black shadow looked like a small one, but it ran extremely fast.

The lanes were intertwined and complicated, and after a while, the other party was swaying left and right, and then disappeared.

Rong Ling gritted his teeth, looked at no one in the alleyway, and simply lifted his skirt, muttering incessantly: "My aunt wants to see where you can go today."

After saying that, Rong Ling jumped straight up, using his spiritual power to jump up the wall.

She looked down at the surroundings, and at a glance, she could see that little figure running towards the north.

She pinched an invisibility tactic, and quickly chased in the direction of the opponent.

The little thief thought he was letting out a sigh of relief when he threw away Rong Ling, but suddenly a figure jumped down in front of him.

The corners of Rong Ling's lips curled up, and he put his arms around his chest, and said leisurely, "Run, why don't you keep running?"

Hearing this, the thief hurriedly turned around to run away, but Rong Ling quickly grabbed him by the back collar.

Immediately afterwards, the child was brought up by Rong Ling.

Rong Ling glanced at the seven or eight-year-old child in front of him, and spread his palms: "Hand over the money to me."

"What money, I don't know!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Rong Ling realized that the thin monkey with only bright eyes in front of her was still a little girl.

But this didn't make Rong Lingci soft-hearted, she raised the corners of her lips: "Really? Then do you want me to send you to the government and see what the people in the yamen say."

As soon as she said these words, the little girl was really caught, and her whole body was so stiff that she didn't know what to do.

In a blink of an eye, her face changed, and she grinned and squeezed out tears: "Sister, please don't report to the police, I just haven't eaten for a long time, I'm so hungry, really hungry..."

Rong Ling didn't want to listen to her nonsense: "If you're hungry, why don't you go steal the steamed bun shop? Why do you have to come to my pharmacy to steal money?"

And she even knew where the money drawer was, and she had planned it long ago.

Although Rong Ling runs a clinic, it doesn't mean she is a kind person.

With her other hand, she grabbed the little child Xi Lingling's ankle, turned her upside down and shook her.

Bundles of copper coins and broken silver fell to the ground instantly.

Only then did Rong Ling throw the little girl aside, and bent down to pick up the silver coins on the bluestone board.

Ever since she started earning money, she knows that every copper coin is not easy to be lazy, and she is so focused and serious in picking up the points that she didn't even notice the ruthless look in the eyes of the little girl beside her, who suddenly lighted up the dagger quietly.

Seeing that the point of the knife was about to stab Rong Ling's neck, she raised her left hand and clamped it with her index and middle fingers without looking back.

The little girl didn't expect that she would be discovered by someone, so she hurriedly wanted to pull it back, but with a slight twist of Rong Ling's fingertips, the dagger deviated from her control.

The girl opened her eyes wide in astonishment, but she saw Rong Lingyun turning her head indifferently: "You have the strength to kill people without eating enough, little girl, you are really a talent in martial arts."

Although she was smiling, after collecting all the money, she patted the ashes on her hands and stood up, grabbed the little girl's neck, and said sternly: "Say, who sent you here? "

The little girl gritted her teeth and said nothing, Rong Ling's hands gradually tightened without the slightest hesitation.

After all, she was still a child, and she finally couldn't hold back: "I said, I said, it was Wang Wu and the others who asked me to do this, and they also said..."

"What else did they say?" Rong Ling asked.

Wang Wu is a local ruffian in the neighborhood, and Rong Ling has heard of it before, but he didn't expect that they would dare to attack him.

"They also said that you are just a woman, occupying so much money and a big house for nothing, you must be alone and sleepless every night..."

The vulgar words made Rong Ling frowned in disgust.

The little girl quickly answered the call: "I'm done talking, you let me go."

After all, she probably realized that her appearance was too domineering, and she blinked and said aggrievedly: "Sister, they ordered me to do it. If I don't follow their orders to steal money, they will They would beat me and not give me food."

It seems that Wang Wu and the others really don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, Rong Ling's eyes turned cold, and he let go of the hand that was pinching the little girl's neck.

She fell to the ground immediately, coughing.

Seeing Rong Ling turn around and leave, the girl hurriedly got up and followed her not too far away.

"What are you doing?" Rong Ling turned impatiently and asked.

"Didn't my sister just say that I am a talent in martial arts?" She raised her head, "Then can you teach me your kung fu?"

Rong Ling didn't expect this little thing to change so fast, she ignored it and walked forward.

The little girl hurriedly followed, but staggered and fell to the ground.

This time, she couldn't get up again.

Rong Ling was walking forward without hesitation, but when he heard the voice behind him, he still couldn't make up his mind and turned his head back.

This little girl weighed lightly, not as heavy as the reeds and chickens in her yard, it seemed that she had never had enough to eat.

Her appearance reminded Rong Ling of his childhood.

He has no father and no mother, and lives by cheating and abducting everywhere.

Even goblins still have to eat, but they often hide in the dark with hunger and hunger, waiting for other big goblins to eat up before they dare to pick up the leftovers they don't want.

That's all, Rong Ling carried her back to her yard and asked the maid to bring her food.

Then ask the mother-in-law to boil hot water and wash up after the child wakes up.

The author has something to say: the content of the previous chapter was revised, and Rong Ling exposed his identity as a demon.
