"Master, we are passing through Annan, should we go back and take a look?" Yang Sanniu looked in the direction of Annan Mansion and reported to Ling Yun.
Hearing this, Ling Yun opened the car window, looked into the distance and murmured to himself, "Annan, I didn't expect that we actually arrived in Annan."
More than a month passed by in a flash, and they finally entered the territory of Annan. Ling Yun looked up in the direction of home, feeling very emotional in his heart.
This journey was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, Zixuan, Yang Sanniu and the escort were escorted along the way, and we were able to avert danger time and time again.
Although he was fine, due to the dangers along the way, the number of escorts was reduced from the original sixteen to five, and the driver was only one.
"Master~"
Seeing that Ling Yun didn't speak, Yang Sanniu called out again.
Ling Yun looked at Yang Sanniu and asked seriously, "Sanniu, do you want to go back?"
Yang Sanniu didn't understand the implication of Ling Yun's words and thought he was asking him to go back. He quickly shook his head and said, "Master, I...I don't."
Seeing that Yang Sanniu was so anxious that the veins on his forehead were as thick as his little finger, Ling Yun smiled and explained, "Sanniu, you have misunderstood the young master. What the young master means is, do you want to go back and take a look?"
Yang Sanniu frowned and said doubtfully, "Huh? Go back and have a look, young master, aren't you going back?"
Ling Yun paused, shook his head slightly and said, "Master, I will not go back."
Yang Sanniu asked strangely, "Why is this? Doesn't the young master not want to go home?"
Ling Yun smiled and did not explain. He just asked him to go back and speed up to follow him.
Yang Sanniu scratched his head, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.
As for why Ling Yun didn't go back, it was because he couldn't go back. Even if he was on the way, he wouldn't dare go back, otherwise he would definitely suffer a setback.
"Why don't you go back? Are you afraid that someone will report to the court that you went home without permission?" Zixuan suddenly asked from the car.
Ling Yun looked at her and was stunned for a while, then pretended to be mysterious and said, "Yes and no."
Zixuan pouted and said arrogantly, "Don't talk about knocking me down."
Helpless, Ling Yun could only relent and said, "Okay! I said, in fact, I also want to go home, but I don't dare to go home because I'm afraid that if I suddenly appear in front of my family, they will definitely get to the bottom of it. If they know that I have been arrested,
If you are demoted to Nanyi Prefecture, you will definitely be worried."
"Besides, there are definitely people in the capital who are watching me and trying to get a hold of me. If I suddenly change my route, even if I just turn a corner, those people will add fuel to the fire and report it to His Majesty."
"oh!"
Zixuan's answer was very indifferent. Ling Yun couldn't tell what she was really thinking. She lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
Suddenly remembering something, he continued, "By the way, Zixuan, Annan is here, don't you... want to go back?"
Zixuan's eyelids twitched slightly, then she slowly raised her head and said pointedly, "You want me to leave?"
Ling Yun was startled and found that Zixuan's tone of voice was a bit clenched, and there were faint signs of anger. He wondered if it was his imagination.
Looking back on what she said at the beginning, I can't help but feel a little confused.
"Zixuan, that's not what I meant. Didn't you mention before that you were traveling with me just because you were going back to Annan?"
"Really? Did I say that? Forgot."
Ling Yun curled his lips, glanced at her, and stopped talking.
At this time, the hanging heart seemed to be relieved. I don't know why. Deep down in my heart, it seemed that I didn't want him to leave, but he didn't realize it.
"Everyone is on alert, there is an enemy attack ahead!" Suddenly, a roar came from the front, surprising the two people in the car, and they quickly put themselves on alert.
Because he encountered several attacks, Nangong Zheng's alert response was extremely decisive. Therefore, when he saw someone blocking the way in front, he immediately stopped the entire team to be alert. At the same time, he stared at the group in front with a stern gaze.
, "Who are you, and why are you blocking our way? Do you know that this is the convoy of a fourth-rank official from the imperial court?"
A man in front took two steps forward on horseback and pointed at Nangong Zhengdao, "Step back and let the people behind you speak."
The person who came was aggressive and his words were full of provocation. Nangong Zheng yelled, "Arrogant! Who are you to stop an official from the imperial court?"
The person in front of me didn't pay attention. Instead, he chuckled and said, "You little escort, you are not worthy of knowing my name. Hurry up and call out the person behind you, otherwise you will be better off."
"you…"
Nangong Zheng was furious and stared at the person who spoke. Unexpectedly, the other person had a disinterested expression, as if he was eager for him to take action.
After hesitating for a long time, Nangong Zheng's angry expression slowly faded. He rode to Lingyun's carriage and reported softly, "Master Yun, there is a group of people blocking the way ahead. He calls for you to come down and see him. Do you want to see him?"
"Oh? Brother Nan, you mean, someone asked me to show up by name?"
Ling Yun was a little surprised. He just heard Nangong Zheng yelling, and he thought he had met another thief. But now it seems that this is not the case.
"Master Huiyun, that person didn't name him, but he did have this meaning. Besides, I think their team is quite strict. They don't look like ordinary thieves, but more like soldiers."
Nangong Zheng still had something to say in his heart. If Ling Yun didn't get out of the car, he was afraid that all of them would die, because he saw disdain in the other party's eyes, and there was also murderous intent in them.
Ling Yun had someone to protect him and might be able to save his life, but his few remaining brothers would definitely not be able to escape the enemy's hands. Therefore, he suppressed his anger and turned around to ask Ling Yun for his opinion.
After hearing this, Ling Yun lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said slowly, "In that case, let's get out of the car and meet these so-called soldiers."
As soon as these words came out, one could not help but notice that Nangong next to the carriage was breathing a sigh of relief.
But what he didn't notice was that when he was talking to Nangong Zheng, Zixuan's expression kept changing, and a look of struggle appeared on her face. Then when Ling Yun turned around, she returned to normal.
"Zixuan, do you want to come with me?"
Yang Sanniu was not here, and recalling all the previous encounters, Ling Yun could only look at Zixuan, feeling extremely eager for her to get off the car together.
Zixuan raised her head and looked at him steadily for a long time, finally nodded, got up and got out of the carriage.
Ling Yun slowly walked towards the front of the team, his movements extremely cautious, and at the same time he did not forget to be alert to his surroundings, but when he saw the man on horseback in front of him, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Are you...Brother Zhang...Zhang?"
He looked back and said in shock, "General Guo?"
Ling Yun was overjoyed when he saw an acquaintance. He thought he would have to fight again when he met an enemy, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be an acquaintance.
"General Guo, Brother Zhang, long time no see..."
Guo Huaiyi bowed his hands and said, "Yes! It's been a long time indeed."
After the greetings, Ling Yun said bluntly, "I wonder what General Guo is here for?"
Guo Huaiyi paused, looked at the person behind him, and said thoughtfully, "Well! I do have something to do when I come here this time. One is to give you a ride, and the other is to take someone back."
