Chapter 760
When Ling Xiao heard the saying of falling into the water and drowning, he immediately understood.

It seems that the news that Mo Yunqing, the concubine of the general's mansion, was obsessed with the King of War, had a quarrel with the King of War, and was killed by the King of War, spread like wildfire in the capital, and it was not a secret at all!
Pei Zheng did not hide anything, and replied truthfully: "My master is the famous doctor Guo Danxi, but he offended the King of Qin before, was persecuted by the King of Qin, and left the Imperial Hospital."

Ling Xiao smiled clearly: "So that's the case."

When Mo Yunqing drowned, it was the empress who invited Guo Danxi to diagnose and treat this disappointing princess. Guo Danxi's diagnosis and treatment turned out to be hopeless.

Then it was cheaper for that time-traveling girl.

Ling Xiao and Pei Zheng walked to the side of the secluded moat, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Pei Zheng took the opportunity to test out: "Recently, King Qin's power in the capital has grown, and as the son of his old enemy, I'm afraid I will be implicated sooner or later. "

Ling Xiao frowned, and stared at him with beautiful eyes: "So?"

Pei Zheng took out a bank note that had just been exchanged from Baotong Yinzhuang from his pocket, and said with a smile, "Master asked me to take refuge in Zizhou in the south. This trip will take at least three years."

Three years, enough for Bai Lingxiao to get acquainted with that outstanding young master Zhou Yi just now, and even get married as a husband and wife, and live their lives together.

The expression on Pei Zheng's face seemed a bit disappointed. He has always been indifferent to emotions. This is the way of being a man taught to him by his father. You must have a strong heart, and you must not easily show your truth in front of outsiders or be pinched seven inches by others. .

Ling Xiao was also slightly taken aback, remembering that this person was a treacherous minister in the plot of the previous life, although he might not do all kinds of evil, but he was not a good person either.

Ling Xiao was silent.

Pei Zheng became more and more apprehensive and fearful. He swore in this life that he would only stumble on Ling Xiao alone. This was something he could not predict and could not resist.

Ling Xiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned around and left.

Pei Zheng hurriedly chased after him step by step, and said with a helpless smile, "Can't you comfort me?"

Ling Xiao turned his head sideways, revealing his fair and beautiful swan neck: "Do you need other people's comfort?"

Pei Zheng paused, and said with a lonely smile: "If I miss you, I may regret it for the rest of my life."

Ling Xiao remained silent.

Until she returned to the door of the Minister's Mansion, seeing Pei Zheng's tangled and lonely look, Ling Xiao suddenly smiled: "My family has a mansion in Zizhou. In the early years, my mother was also from Jiangnan, and my mother lived in Zizhou. The state is in the herb business!"

Hearing the meaning behind the words, Pei Zheng barely concealed his excitement, and smiled in surprise, "You mean... you're going to Zizhou with me?"

Ling Xiao rolled his eyes helplessly: "I'm waiting to be married, and my father has no enmity with King Qin, so do I need to go to Zizhou for refuge?"

Pei Zheng racked his brains for a while, and his phoenix eyes suddenly lit up: "What if you disguised yourself as a man and went to Zizhou to do business with me?"

"Don't worry, I'm responsible for protecting you, and I will never step over the thunder pool."

Pei Zheng felt that the idea was right, and a look of strong anticipation appeared on his handsome face.

Ling Xiao shook his head speechlessly, really convinced him.

No wonder the original owner of the previous life didn't take a fancy to him, he was really a bit out of order, his scheming and means made people feel that he was not the way of a gentleman.

Ling Xiao said with a cold face: "How many days do you have to leave?"

Pei Zheng turned a blind eye to Ling Xiao's cold face, and smiled expectantly: "About three days or so, I know it's time, I'll go back and discuss it with the master, how about a seven-day delay?"

Ling Xiao touched Qingxiu's chin, and said with a smile: "That's fine! You go back and wait for my news."

Back to the Snapper.

Ling Xiao asked the maid about what happened here.

Shuanghe told Ling Xiao that the mistress had been here, and she seemed to be in a happy mood, with a flushed face, as if she was in good spirits on a happy event.

Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and when her father Bai Shilang came back from the entertainment, she found him in time and told him exactly what she wanted and decided.

Father Bai felt a little embarrassed: "Ling Xiao, marriage matters are all ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Your mother is very optimistic about that young master Zhou Yi, and to tell you the truth, Zhou Shangshu and I have a good relationship. In the future, our two families will have the same interests, and it will be extremely beneficial to the father's career..."

Father Bai earnestly tried to persuade him a few words.

Ling Xiao was blunt: "Father! That Mr. Zhou Yi has a sweetheart for a long time. He drank tea with me in Songhe Tower today, and he told me himself."

Upon hearing this, Father Bai replied hesitantly: "Who is his sweetheart?"

Ling Xiao told the truth.

Father Bai replied displeasedly: "Daughter, that Mo Yunqing has long been married to King Zhan and became a princess. She is a woman who is greedy for vanity and riches. How could she look down on Zhou Yi? In comparison, the Shangshu Mansion is nothing to look at."

Ling Xiao twitched the corners of his lips speechlessly.

The key is that Zhou Yi's true love is for Mo Yunqing. In his previous life, he disappeared on the battlefield in the Northern Territory. Maybe it was to escape the original owner's marriage and quietly fled to Zizhou in the south to live in seclusion!

At this time, Ling Xiao thought of the young woman that the original owner met in Zizhou in the south in the previous life, and after careful reflection, she was indeed somewhat similar to Mo Yunqing.

Not only are they similar in appearance and temperament, but also there is a bit of sisterly shadow between their eyebrows and eyes.

Ling Xiao didn't intend to deal with Father Bai, and replied bluntly: "Anyway, I don't want to marry! If Mother insists on marrying Shang Shufu, then it's better..."

"Why not?"

Father Bai felt sorry for his daughter, but he didn't say anything to blame, but meditated on the matter quietly.

"Why don't you choose one of my mother's cousins ​​and marry Mr. Zhou Yi for me! Anyway, my mother has a very good relationship with these uncles."

Father Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You! What a big heart! Talking nonsense!"

Ling Xiao raised the corner of his lips playfully: "Father! I knew you were the best for me!"

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Aiju returned home, she told Mrs. Qi's intentions to Father Bai, so Father Bai argued with Zhang Aiju. Discuss carefully.

Mrs. Qi is very optimistic about Ling Xiao, and Mr. Zhou Yi also fell in love with Ling Xiao in Songhe Tower. Although Ling Xiao didn't pay much attention to him, he gave him the impression that the flowers of Gaoling are hard to climb.

A girl like her with stunning appearance and cold temperament is exactly the kind that men like to chase and conquer the most.

Zhang Aiju wanted to save face, and she was unwilling to reject Mrs. Qi's invitation. Father Bai thought that her daughter's heart was also very important. If there was any quarrel after marriage, it would be a serious crime!

Just when Father Bai and Zhang Aiju disagreed, Ling Xiao suddenly received a message from Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng asked her to meet in a peach blossom hermitage in the east of the city.

Ling Xiao dressed up, deliberately pretending to be an ordinary woman, and covered her youthful and beautiful face with a black gauze hat.

When he came to Peach Blossom Temple, Pei Zheng sat under a luxuriant old pomegranate tree in the backyard, and three freshly baked delicious snacks were placed on the round stone table.

"Try it, do you like it?"

Pei Zheng wanted to please him, but Ling Xiao didn't leave him alone.

Ling Xiao picked the stone chair opposite and sat down, took a few mouthfuls of fresh snacks tentatively.

It tastes beautiful.

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Is this...produced in the Baiwei Building in the capital?"

Only the freshly baked dim sum in Baiweilou can give off such a nostalgic taste.

It is said that the three kinds of snacks on the table have to be bought in line every day, and a piece costs ten taels of silver, which can be said to be a luxury that only nobles can afford.

Pei Zheng nodded and smiled calmly: "If you like food, I can learn how to make dim sum from the chef of Baiweilou. After I go to Zizhou, I will cook it for you every day."

Yo, it's time to start threading the needle, tempting to fall into the trap?
Ling Xiao took out a brocade handkerchief, wiped the crumbs on his lips, and said with a smile, "If you like it, you like it, but you came to see me today, you definitely didn't want to taste the dim sum at Baiweilou."

Pei Zheng secretly praised his cleverness, and replied straight to the point: "Master went to the harem two days ago to see a nobleman. After returning, he asked me to leave immediately to take refuge in Zizhou in the south."

"so?"

Ling Xiao heard some hints, and looked at him calmly.
