In the deep mountains that are shrouded in the clouds all year round, it is difficult to see direct sunlight even on weekdays. Therefore, in Xiling, which is relatively dry in most places, it is a rare moist and green place among the mountains.

At the entrance of the courtyard, the slender and pale girl was stopped before she could even reach the door. "Who?"

Yang Xianya was startled and said in panic: "I...I want to see Alin's injuries..." The guard guard at the gate of the yard was expressionless, as if he was not moved by the weak girl in front of him. "The young master told the girl to recuperate in the yard. If the guard Lin recovered from his injuries, he would naturally come to meet the girl."

Yang Xianya bit the corner of her lips and whispered, "But... I'm very worried. Woooo... there is no one around me who knows. Only him... Please, let me see him." Seeing the girl in front of me crying pitifully, the two guards were also hesitant. After all, it was brought back by the young master and the distinguished guests who ordered them to take good care of them...

"Miss, wait, let's report to the young master." In the end, the guard could only compromise.

"What happened?" Yang Xianya was about to thank him, but Zhu Ling's voice came from outside the door. The guards quickly saluted and Yang Xianya wanted to tell her guard's affairs. Zhu Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at the pale girl in front of him with a hint of panic in front of him, thinking. Yang Xianya asked carefully: "Young Master Zhu... I don't know how Alin's injury is? When can we set off to return to Beijing? He also asked Mr. Zhu to send someone to escort our master and servant back to Beijing. When he returns to the capital, the little girl and the Ling family will be grateful to the young master."

Zhu Ling's eyes flashed slightly, and his expression became gentler when he looked at Yang Xianya. He smiled lightly and said, "Miss Yang, don't worry, I will send you back to Beijing after you have improved your cultivation. However, that Guard Lin is really injured, I'm afraid he will have to lie down for a few days." Yang Xianya breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Thank you so much for Mr. Zhu, it's fine if Alin is fine. I... can I go and see him?"

Zhu Ling smiled and said, "It's good to just look at the door. It's better not to look at his injuries. I've sent someone to go back to Beijing to deliver a letter to Mr. Ling. Maybe in a short while, Mr. Ling will come to pick up Mr. Yang in person." Hearing this, Yang Xianya showed a hint of joy and reassurance, "It's great, thank you Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu is indeed a good person..."

Zhu Ling smiled indifferently, "Where is Miss Yang who is a loyal and wise man, these things are just a simple task."

After comforting Yang Xianya, who was worried about the guard, sent her back to the room, Zhu Ling left the courtyard and went out to the outer courtyard. Although the courtyard built in the jungle in the mountains seemed particularly simple than that in the city other than the courtyards in other cities, there were still two inside and outside. The study room was in a corner of the outer courtyard. After entering the study room, the guard who followed him spoke: "Young Master, it seems that this girl Yang is indeed the daughter of General Hu Wei. The young master said that Mr. Ling was coming just now, but she did not show any abnormality."

Zhu Ling nodded, sat down behind the desk and said tiredly: "It's an extraordinary time now, it's always good to be careful. Has the guard named Alin woke up?"

The guard nodded and said, "I just woke up not long ago. He was so seriously injured. The knife on his back almost killed him. The situation he said was similar to what Miss Yang said. When the Mo family army first entered the palace Licheng, General Yang arranged more than a dozen people to escort Miss Yang back to the capital to join the Ling family. But he didn't expect that the Mo family army's attack would be so fast. It was not long after they left Licheng. Licheng was broken. They disguised as ordinary people and accidentally exposed their identities when they passed by the small county occupied by Zhang Qilan. "

Zhu Ling frowned and nodded, "It seems that Alin is still a loyal person. He asked the doctor to use the best medicine to cure his injuries as soon as possible."

"Yes, young master."

"Is there any news on my grandfather's side?" After changing the topic, Zhu Ling asked about the serious matter. The look on the guard's face also became a little more worried, and he shook his head and said, "No, since Biancheng was besieged by the Mo family army, no news has come from the old general. Zhang Qilan is guarding the county town, and everything that passes in and out must undergo a strict inspection, but I am afraid that the old general will not be able to deliver the letter. Young Master, are we hiding here? Let Zhang Qilan occupy the important roads entering and leaving Biancheng? Although Biancheng has abundant reserves, if he is besieged for one or two consecutive months, it is probably still a bit difficult."

Zhu Ling thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, Mo Xiuyao would not do this. He was more rushing than us. After a month or two, reinforcements from all over Xiling would be enough to reach Biancheng. At that time, even if his only 400,000 troops were the elite troops, he would go to the shallows and the tiger would fall into the Pingyang."

"What the young master means..."

Zhu Ling frowned and said, "Mo Xiuyao's troops are not large. At this time, he can still divide tens of thousands of troops to occupy a small county town that is not big. I suspect... he already knows our existence." The guard was also shocked and said, "King Ding sent Zhang Qilan to guard Biancheng to prevent us from reinforce Biancheng and give him a front and back border?"

Zhu Ling raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, saying, "I'm more inclined to him that he wants Zhang Qilan to annihilate us."

"How is this possible?" The guard snorted coldly and said in disbelief, "If we don't say that we are familiar with the terrain here, we are far from comparable to the Mo family army. Even if Zhang Qilan's troops are just tens of thousands of troops, they are not our opponents." Zhu Ling shook his head and sighed: "Mo Xiuyao will not do useless things. Send people down the mountain to explore the situation of the Mo family army again."

"Yes, young master."

Two days later, Zhu Ling was sitting in the study and playing chess with Yang Xianya. After getting along these days, the girl finally lost her initial fear and anxiety. Especially after knowing that Zhu Ling was the grandson of the old general Zhu Yan, she felt completely relieved. Although she was still young and had never seen the old general Zhu Yan, she also heard what her grandfather and uncles mentioned. The Zhu family and the Ling family also had a good relationship. The girl who had lost her panic gradually became cheerful. Zhu Ling then realized that the girl was not as good as ordinary Xiling women, and she was not as good as the piano and calligraphy. On the contrary, she was quite skilled in calligraphy and painting. Although she had never heard of playing the piano, her chess skills were also very good, and she was not as good as the so-called tiger girl of the general. But when she thought about General Yang's wife was the daughter of the former Grand Tutor of Xiling, and she could be said to be one of the top scholars in Xiling, and all this is reasonable.

Although Zhu Ling was born in a general, he grew up in a place like Biancheng. Longshan Academy, one of the three major academies in the world, is located in Biancheng. Zhu Ling was also taught by famous scholars of the world since childhood. However, for many reasons, he could only stay in such mountains and forests for many years and join these soldiers who were not familiar with words. Now it is rare to meet a talented person, even a woman is enough to make the two have a happy conversation.
