"Um..." Xia Zibing looked at the man innocently. She really couldn't remember, "Have we met?"
"Bing'er, have you incurred a peach blossom debt somewhere?" An Linfeng listened and said dissatisfiedly.
Xia Zibing then glared at him innocently, and she really had the urge to shoot him to death.
"Five months ago, on the streets of the capital, your superb medical skills brought my Ling'er back to life. Only then can I and Ling'er live here for a hundred years!" The man's eyes were filled with tears, and he seemed to be extremely excited: "
My benefactor saved Ling'er, but then he forgot about it. There was no attempt to repay his kindness at all. This really makes me admire him so much."
After hearing this, Ling'er couldn't help but blush. She quickly stood up in embarrassment and said, "It turned out to be Ling'er's savior. Please accept Ling'er's greetings."
"Yes! Please accept our homage to the savior of our husband and wife." The man also stood up very proudly, supported Ling'er and prepared to salute.
Xia Zibing suddenly remembered that she once saved a woman on the street.
"No! I won't get used to it." Xia Zibing quickly put down the cup and said solemnly: "Since I have forgotten it, just pretend it didn't happen. If you want to kneel, I will kneel with you!"
"No, Zihan and Ling'er have always hoped to have the opportunity to repay their benefactor. Now that they have the opportunity today, how can they just let it go?" The two still persisted.
Xia Zibing smiled helplessly and took off the jade pendant on her body, "Then consider this a thank you gift! You don't have to kneel down, I don't like this way of thanking you."
"Um..." The two looked at each other.
"In that case, sit down!" An Linfeng looked at the two of them and tried to dissuade Xia Zibing.
Xia Zibing also nodded, and the two of them sat down together. An Linfeng pursed her thin lips. I didn't expect that this girl was not only a troublemaker but also a kind girl. Such a girl is indeed rare to find.
Perhaps he should have understood this from the first moment he saw her.
"Why did my benefactor come here? Is there anything I can do to help?" Duan Zihan asked.
"Uh..., I'm here to see my friend." Xia Zibing had an idea and quickly wiped away the matter of escaping from marriage.
"Friend?" Duanzi Han was slightly surprised, "I have friends with people around here. Who can I ask for? I can help you find out."
Xia Zibing was startled in her heart. She was just saving someone on a whim on the roadside. She didn't expect people to be so enthusiastic. She had no intention of inserting a will, but she arranged today's accommodation and jade pendant. Hahaha, I really didn't expect it.
"Don't call me benefactor, just call me Zibing." Xia Zibing sighed softly and spoke modestly, "Brother Han, does he know when the carriage of Princess Yuyan's wedding passed here?"
For the first time, she experienced the feeling of being respected. It turns out that she is so happy when she meets someone who repays her kindness. People in the world are not as bad as they imagined. There are still good people.
"Princess Yuyan? Is she the princess who made peace with Donglin Kingdom?" Duan Zihan asked solemnly.
"Exactly!" Xia Zibing replied.
"Probably tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Xia Zibing suddenly smiled. Fortunately, she came in time.
"I wonder what the relationship between Miss Zibing and this princess is?" Duan Zihan asked curiously.
"She? She is my best friend. I must get her married." Xia Zibing said bluntly.
"Miss Zibing turns out to be the princess's friend! That's disrespectful."
It seemed that in an instant, Duan Zihan and Ling'er's respect increased a bit. Looking at her eyes, they couldn't help but feel that they were no longer just benefactors.
"Haha, have you ever been disrespectful?" Xia Zibing curled her lips, turned her face slightly to the side, and drank tea helplessly.
An Linfeng was ignored for a long time, so he became very dissatisfied and said, "What's so great about the princess is that she is forced to get married. The marriage is unfortunate."
"What did you say?" Xia Zibing looked at An Linfeng very angrily, daring her friend to shoot this girl to death.
"I didn't say anything!" Well, a man doesn't care about trivial matters. It doesn't matter if he gives in to a woman.
"Actually, this young master is right. Although the princess is in a high position, she can't help herself. Why is this young master so free and unrestrained, with the heroic spirit of a Jianghu man? Miss Zibing still chooses her husband."
Upon hearing Duan Zihan's words, An Linfeng immediately felt very comfortable. Especially the last sentence, Bing'er, look, look, I am your beloved. Hurry up and follow me.
However, it was not a very good thing to say to Zi Bing. Her cheeks turned slightly red, "Brother Han misunderstood! Linfeng is just my friend."
"Uh, Bing'er! I..." An Linfeng immediately became unhappy, but after Xia Zibing glared angrily, she no longer dared to refute: "Yes, we are just friends."
"That's it! I was being rude." Although Duan Zihan explained it this way, he still understood the truth of the whole matter in his heart.
Ling'er on the side also saw everything with his eyes and kept silent about everything.
Yecheng is the place with the best scenery. It is also the place with the most exotic things. How could Xia Zibing, a sixteen-year-old girl, withstand the temptation. After eating, she went out to play. I heard that Yecheng is divided into
Two kinds of weather. Five miles apart. Not far away, you can see various ice sculptures. She can't sit still.
When we were in the capital, the sun was always shining brightly. After dinner, we went to see the ice sculptures with An Linfeng.
When Helian Mo Xiao came, the building was already empty. After the Duan family's shop was raided once, Helian Mo Xiao could only accept his fate.
"Sir, the princess won't go far. Let's continue chasing her." Shadow comforted her.
"Princess?" Duan Zihan was startled. He really didn't expect that the girl who was close to the people would be a noble princess. What's more, he didn't expect that this princess actually escaped from the marriage. I had long heard that Princess Bingyue and Prince Yongling
The marriage was about to happen. But I didn’t expect that this prince actually loved the princess so much.
"You know his whereabouts, right?" Helian Moxiao asked patiently.
"I was originally here." As a man, Duan Zihan didn't want to lie. It was not that he had never experienced the pain of losing a lover.
"Where did she go?"
There was blood on the tip of his heart. For her, he was no longer as domineering as before. He dropped everything and chased here all the way, just to see her. That was all. He once thought that that high-altitude position was what he wanted.
What he wants most is to be iron-faced and spend his life in a high position with imperial power.
But since he had her, he said that the country was his biggest wish, and the hatred between his father, the emperor, and his mother was the only revenge in his heart. But in his heart, he never left Bing'er. That clever and eccentric person has always been with him.
He did the right thing, he had no way to deal with Bing'er.
For her sake, she could even lower her status to talk to a commoner and put down her high dignity.
"I don't know!" Duan Zihan seemed a little intolerant, but Xia Zibing was his benefactor after all. Since she didn't want to see him, he couldn't tell him where she was.
Helian Moxiao's face suddenly darkened, and veins were bouncing between his brows. Those two words were like thunder from the sky, shattering all his hopes. The news was actually cut off here.
Could Bing'er be trying to avoid his eyes on purpose again? If she really avoided him on purpose, with this girl's ability, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
"Sir, this is the only way to go to Donglin Country." Shadow reminded shrewdly.
But he rested secretly. When did you show your emotions so obviously in front of a person? If you didn't really value the princess too much in your heart, this would never have happened.
Helian Moxiao suddenly realized, and his expression improved slightly. When the Thirteenth Princess gets married, Bing'er will not miss it. So, as long as she gets to Donglin Country in advance, then...
He got on the wind-chasing horse and galloped away. Behind him, a group of people followed his Helian Moxiao.
Duan Zihan looked at Helian Mo Xiao who had gone away, thoughtfully. He had long heard that Princess Bingyue was good at singing and dancing and had extraordinary abilities. But when he saw it with his own eyes, she was so low-key. At a glance, you could never tell that.
It was Xia Zibing who was praised by everyone as being wonderful. Once she became a star, she instantly changed her name from trash to Princess Bingyue who was the most talented woman in the world.
The night is as quiet as still water. The trees sway slightly with the autumn wind. In the distance, there is the sound of horse hooves. What comes is a cold wind. In the distance, a bright light flickers slightly. In the darkness
After staying for a long time, the two people's eyes felt slightly dazzling.
Xia Zibing walked in and realized that it was the shop opened by Duan Zihan. Under the dim light, Duan Zihan and Ling'er were sitting on trembling wooden chairs. They seemed to be deliberately waiting for their return.
"Brother Han! You haven't slept yet." Xia Zibing jumped off the horse and walked in very casually. But behind, An Linfeng was slavishly trying to clean up the aftermath for her.
"Waiting for you to eat!" Duanzi Han said with a smile.
But Ling'er beside her was already swaying to sleep. In fact, she could understand it. But she really didn't know. Duan Zihan was still waiting for her to eat. It was already midnight, and Xia Zibing was too playful and the distance was far away.
I didn't pay attention. It wasn't until I entered the city that I realized that there was no starlight visible in the city.
He cast his eyes to the table nearby and prepared several late-night snacks. When they went out, it was not actually time to eat yet. Therefore, dinner was made a lot earlier. Duan Zihan was afraid that she would be hungry when she came back, so he specially prepared the snacks that he would eat on weekdays.
I think the best food.
"Thank you!" Xia Zibing sat down, "Let's eat together."
She hasn't felt this kind of atmosphere for a long time. When she was still at Ming Yuxuan, occasionally the master would prepare some snacks for her or prepare medicinal meals for her to eat when she came back. Ever since she moved out of Ming Yuxuan, she has never received such treatment.
Although she is used to living alone and eating whatever she wants. However, the taste of home is something that no one does not yearn for.
"We ate! You go ahead and eat." Duan Zihan smiled lightly.
Xia Zibing was not easy to refuse. She picked up a few pastries with her chopsticks and started eating. Not to mention, she was really tired after playing for so long.
Duan Zihan couldn't help but cast his eyes on Xia Zibing. Although she was easy-going and generous in her movements, there was a hint of natural nobility. She was calm and majestic. That youthful face seemed very familiar. But regardless of it,
I can't figure out who he looks like, or who is his old friend.
Xia Zibing felt the gaze above her head and raised her head uncomfortably: "Brother Han!"
"Zi Bing, I think you look familiar." He said bluntly.
Although he wanted to be called the princess or the princess, he seemed to be unwilling to maintain such a direct relationship with her. Therefore, he would rather pretend that nothing had happened.
"Haha, really?" Xia Zibing smiled faintly and didn't care. She continued to eat her food and tried to ignore this look.
Because Brother Han doesn't mean any harm. The look in his eyes seems a bit like an old man looking at his own child. Or, the way the eldest brother looks at his sister dotingly. She doesn't seem to care too much.
"Today, a special person came to the store."
After a long time, Duan Zihan finally told the story. I don't know if he sympathized with the husband who couldn't find the one he loved, or if he hoped that his benefactor could live a good life.
"Oh?" Xia Zibing smiled faintly without raising her head, "Is it related to me?"
"Yes!" Duan Zihan nodded solemnly.
"Who is it?" Xia Zibing asked curiously.
"King Yongling!"
These three words were like a bolt from the blue. Xia Zibing suddenly raised his head. His expression was unbelievable. Will he come?
It seems that the emperor is in power in Leng Ye Kingdom, but the power of the Helian family has always been a worry for the emperor. If he is not careful, he will be threatened with death. Therefore, Qin Haotian never dared to be too arrogant in front of Helian Mo Xiao. And
Nowadays, the marriage between the Eighth Master and Princess Manluo is imminent, as well as the marriage between Donglin Kingdom and the Thirteenth Princess. This is the chess piece that the Emperor cares about most.
It stands to reason that since Helian Mo Xiao has rebellious intentions, he will naturally not encourage Qin Haotian's arrogance and should oppose the marriage. Isn't this the time when he should be extremely busy? He actually has the intention to run out. He is not afraid of that.
Did Qin Haotian use the power of the two countries to deal with him?
"What did he say?"
Xia Zibing didn't know what kind of expression she should use to express her emotions at this time. She was as quiet as usual. She originally just wanted Helian Moxiao to work hard and do what she likes. She ran out because she didn't want to participate.
Unexpectedly, he actually dropped everything to find her. Is she really that important? Why did she never think so?
"He seems to care about you very much!" Duanzi Han said.
There was a faint light in her eyes, which was very dazzling. It was like the shining phoenix star that day, making people feel colorful and beautiful. He cares about her, what a nice thing to say. What Xia Zibing wants is not really high. It's just that she doesn't like it.
She wants to compare herself to an object in the country. She is a human being, and she needs something unique to her. But Helian Mo Xiao once said that he wants all the beauties in the country. She is just one of the objects. Is that so?
"What about others?" Xia Zibing raised her eyelashes and glanced at Duan Zihan hopefully.
"His subordinates said this was the only way to go to Donglin! After that, he left." Duan Zihan did not hide anything.
"What direction?" Xia Zibing asked urgently.
"In the direction of Kyoto in the east!" Duan Zihan replied in confusion.
"Eastern Kyoto?" Xia Zibing's head seemed to have been exploded by thunder, and her whole heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar. She lost her balance and dropped her chopsticks to the ground. In the silent night sky, the voice of a man could be heard. The chopsticks were intact.
, but her heart was broken.
"Zi Bing!" Duan Zihan didn't understand what he said wrongly, which made Xia Zibing go from heaven to hell all at once.
"Bing'er!" An Linfeng, who had been eavesdropping outside, hurried in and helped Xia Zibing up, "Bing'er, it's late. Go to bed."
"Okay!" Xia Zibing raised her red lips slightly and smiled self-deprecatingly.
She let Duan Zihan help her back to the room, and lay on the bed empty and empty.
"Bing'er!" He wanted to say a few words of relief, but he took it back when he said it. He understood what Bing'er was thinking, but he didn't want to defend Helian Mo Xiao, "I will be by your side.
of!"
He held Xia Zibing's cold catkin, hoping to give it a little warmth. If he guessed correctly, Bing'er probably went to Donglin Country because of Helian Mo Xiao.
Bing'er thought that Helian Moxiao came here just because he wanted to find an opportunity to kill Qin Yuyan and the crown prince of Donglin Kingdom. In order to get rid of this future trouble, he could sit back and relax. He was not looking for her at all.
Although he knew that Bing'er might have really misunderstood. But, could a man who asked Bing'er to escape from the marriage voluntarily really bring happiness to Bing'er? Why, he couldn't fight for it. How could he be worse than that Helian Mo Xiao?
"Linfeng, I'm fine. I'll be very busy from tomorrow on. Go to sleep."
The resentment in her heart came out, and she was no longer as upset as before. She was once so chic and proud of the world, how could she choose to give up her spirit for a man.
"Okay! Take good care of yourself. Go to bed early."
Seeing that Xia Zibing's mood was much more stable, she left with a little peace of mind. Bing'er has extraordinary martial arts skills, but what she fears most is heartbreak. But fortunately, this girl is so heartless that even he can't do anything about it. This is
Advantages, of course, sometimes also disadvantages.
The night was slightly cool. Xia Zibing got up and put on a moon-white thin shirt. Looking at the bright moon in front of the window, she actually smiled coldly. Helian Mo Xiao, are you leading a large group of people just to prevent the marriage in Donglin Kingdom?
?It turns out that Yan'er is the softest chess piece, and she should be soft when pinching a persimmon. Maybe, she shouldn't blame you. In the struggle for imperial power, there is no right or wrong way to act. The winner is king.
But why can't she object? For Yan'er's happiness, she will never allow destruction to occur.
"Come out!" Xia Zibing's voice was very faint, like the sound of nature in the silent night sky. But it did not lose the majesty of the ruler.
In the past few days, it was not that she had not noticed that ### had been following her with that boy.
A gust of breeze blew by, and Qinglong ### flew in with Xiao Jiutian. He suddenly entered the room covered in jelly.
"See you, Master!" The three of them saluted in unison.
Xia Zibing stood with her hands behind her back and sighed softly, "No!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Xia Zibing looked at Xiao Jiutian, who was covered with stubble, with great interest, and couldn't help but smile: "Boy, you seem to have made some progress?"
