The lady is stunning, she hides her secrets

Before leaving, Zhong Ling had a talk with Piao Er.

In Yuangang City, although Zhong Ling already has Boss Han working for him, he still lacks a trustworthy person to take care of his own property.

Just when Piao'er came, Zhong Ling was going to hand over all these matters to Piao'er.

Piao'er was obviously very surprised.

She originally thought that she was sent here to serve the Second Young Master, but she didn't expect to be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility by the Second Young Master. The little girl was overwhelmed by the flattery, and was directly promoted from a servant girl to a small boss. She was so moved that she almost shed tears.

Anyway, Zhong Ling is not going to take her back to Mount Shinan.

He used to live by himself and never needed any maids.

What's more, he and Ban Qing had a pretty good life when they were young, but suddenly a maid came to serve him, and the feeling changed.

Zhong Ling and Ban Qing stayed in Yuangang City for many days, and after returning to Piao'er, they set off to return to Shinan Mountain.

In the past few days, they had to wait for the ancient medical book that Mr. Ji Tuo Banqing brought back.

Master Ji spent a lot of money on this book and found many people before he bought it back.

When Mr. Ji got this book, his brows were filled with joy.

He didn't even care about class. The teacher was more eager to have a holiday than the students, and he didn't care that the school would start in two days. He got the book at night and left the next morning without saying goodbye.

After the new year is over, not only Master Ji, but Ban Qing also have their own things to do.

When he bid farewell to Zhong Ling, Zhong Ling was not surprised.

Zhong Ling just asked him calmly: "How long will it take you to come back this time?"

Ban Qing said solemnly: "Five days, I will definitely come back on the fifth night."

So, Zhong Ling made some snacks for Ban Qing and asked him to take them with him.

Then he personally sent Ban Qing out, and they said goodbye at the entrance of the village.

Zhong Ling watched Ban Qing go east.

I have been to Zhongling in the east several times, but in my memory there are only mountains and no people.

Seeing Ban Qing's figure disappearing among the mountains and finally disappearing, Zhong Ling set off to go back.

It took him a day to finally read all the slips and letters that Fang Wu handed over to him.

During Zhong Ling's absence, Fangwu found out some old things by himself.

The clue comes from the Prime Minister Feng that Zhong Ling killed.

Fangwu found several very important letters among the letters kept in Prime Minister Feng's secret compartment, which had some connection with their father, General Fangtu.

Zhong Ling read the letters between Prime Minister Feng and General Zhang Woneng when he was alive.

The two brothers of the Fang family knew that their father was beheaded by the order of the emperor, but they didn't know who was able to restrain the invincible general Fang Tu at that time, charged him with crimes, and forcibly sent him to prison.

In Zhang Woneng's letter to Prime Minister Feng, there is a phrase worth pondering, which seems to imply that General Fang Tu was killed by him.

But this is unreasonable.

Zhang Woneng, known as Zhang Wunang, is like his nickname, a pustule, it is impossible for him to have this kind of strength to take down his father.

When General Fang Tu was in his prime, his skill in martial arts was higher than that of Zhong Ling. Zhong Ling is now 22 years old, even if a person like Zhang Wu Nang brings 1000 people, Zhong Ling is still capable of getting out of trouble.

Not to mention General Fangtu in his heyday.

Zhong Ling understands that the reason why Fangwu sent him these documents is because Fangwu also noticed something wrong and wanted to hear his opinion.

But this time, he couldn't discuss it with his brother in time.

In the early morning of this day, Zhong Ling, who got up early, practiced martial arts in the deserted forest.

The brother's letter made Zhong Ling, who had lived a stable life for several months, suddenly feel a sense of crisis.

He has been away from the life of living on the edge of the knife for a while, which makes Zhong Ling forget what his life was full of before.

He is aware of the changes in his state, and the anxiety and worry in his heart are difficult to resolve, so he vents it out through martial arts.

But he didn't expect that this morning, halfway through his practice, he met an unexpected person.

That's Da Wan.

Zhong Ling knew his name. When he was in Yuangang City, he followed Da Wan, but lost him.

Apparently, Da Wan also knew about Zhong Ling.

The two met in the forest and chatted for a few words.

Da Wanxian had watched it for a while, and praised: "What a handsome skill."

Zhong Ling retreated slowly, knowingly asked: "Who are you?"

Da Wandao: "I am the brother of the head of the family, and today I am here to substitute Master Ji."

School is about to start, after all the kids have to be taught by someone.

Zhong Ling smiled: "Coincidentally, I also taught the class, why didn't the old plan come to me this time?"

Da Wan said slowly, "Maybe I'm too embarrassed to bother you, Young Master."

"He left very suddenly this time, but he doesn't know where he went."

Dawan replied: "He is going to go to Yancheng for personal reasons."

Zhong Ling was taken aback: "What did he go to Yancheng for?"

Dawan laughed: "I don't know about that. I'll go ahead, young master. I'll see you in the village. I have to go back to prepare lessons."

After Da Wan left, Zhong Ling thought about it for a long time.

From Shinan Mountain to Yancheng, it takes about ten days one way.

Yancheng.

In a winter's time, is it enough for the people of Yancheng to forget the grand occasion when they married in place of Guan Ruoyun?

Among the aristocratic families in Jiangbei, there are only a handful of people who can marry their daughters with such ostentation, and the time was four months ago. After such an investigation, it is easy to determine Guan Ruoyun's identity.

At that time, Ban Qing snatched him back, and other bandit brothers saw it. It is impossible for Mr. Ji not to ask the cause and effect of this incident.

If it was Ban Qing who went, Zhong Ling might be able to gamble on his luck, but it was Mr. Ji who went, and with his intelligence, Zhong Ling didn't take any chances.

He sighed deeply.

It will take a few days for Ban Qing to come back.

He couldn't wait for Mr. Ji to discover all this and uncover it in the village first. At that time, Mr. Ji would have the upper hand, and it would be difficult for him to prove his innocence.

But what should he tell Ban Qing?

The world is unpredictable, and he didn't expect at the time that he would...have a future with Ban Qing.

There was one more thing that made him uneasy.

Zhong Ling irritatedly took a sword and cut off a dead branch, barely cutting it into the shape of a wooden stick.

He used a wooden stick instead of a gun, and practiced a set of family marksmanship in the forest.

His moves were faster than usual, but he lost the poise and strength that this set of marksmanship should have.

In the last few strokes, he put his gun on the ground and jumped high into the air.But the wooden stick on the ground was not stable, and it slipped to the side, almost causing him to fly out.

Zhong Ling landed hastily.

He knew he was restless.

At this moment, the elder brother's words seemed to ring in his ears, Zhong Ling took a breath, and slowly sat cross-legged in the forest.

Calm and steady.

Practicing is also cultivating the mind.

After he forced himself to regain his composure, he slowly returned to the village.

On the fifth day, when Ban Qing agreed to return, Zhong Ling prepared a table of meals for him very early, and cooked them in the pot as soon as he came back. Every dish was Ban Qing's favorite.

But Zhong Ling waited until the sun set on the western mountain, it was completely dark, and Ban Qing didn't come back.

Zhong Ling sighed.

He might not be able to wait to return to Ban Qing today.

It was so dark, he really didn't want Ban Qing to follow their agreement and come back.

Ban Qing was afraid of the dark at first, and this night was not bad, so it's the same when we meet again tomorrow.

Before returning to Banqing, Zhong Ling had no appetite, he didn't eat anything, and put away the things in the kitchen.

He turned off the light in Ban Qing's room, closed the door, and was about to return to his own courtyard in Xishan, but hesitated.

At this moment, he really missed Ban Qing.

He turned around, and for no reason, he walked to the village gate, where he saw Ban Qing off.

Then he walked east.

Light clouds cover the moon, and the branches and leaves of trees cover the faint moonlight.It was pitch black in the forest, and without lights, it was almost impossible to see anything.

Zhong Ling didn't want to go back to rest, he couldn't fall asleep anyway.

The forest is silent, and it is even colder after nightfall.

Zhong Ling sat cross-legged on the cold ground.

He told himself to be steady and calm down.

The current relationship between him and Ban Qing needs to be more honest.

Ban Qing kept it from him, and he couldn't tell Ban Qing.

There should always be one of them who takes a step back, is willing to take the risk of exposure and failure, and chooses to be open and honest.

However, the elder brother's situation in Jiangbei is uncertain. If Fangwu needs him, he can't abandon his siblings and hide in Jiangbei to hide from the world and enjoy his life alone.

He can't be so irresponsible, and willfully push the relationship between himself and Ban Qing one step further. When he can't protect his own safety, he still needs Ban Qing to bear the anxiety and pain of losing him at any time.

But if you separate from Ban Qing...

Just thinking about it, Zhong Ling felt uncomfortable and couldn't breathe.

He couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhong Ling's heart, which had just calmed down, became chaotic again.

It's just spring, the land in the mountains is still frozen, and the night is very cold, Zhong Ling doesn't wear many clothes.

He was blown by the mountain wind and his whole body was as cold as a block of ice, but his head was sober.

He never expected that at this time, he would see a small faint light appearing on the mountain to the east.

That little light source, in the darkness, seemed so warm and bright.

Zhong Ling's body, ahead of his consciousness, ran towards the light.

That was Ban Qing running in the woods trembling.

It was too dark at night, and there was a chilly breeze in the woods. Ban Qing always felt something lying on his back, licking his neck.

This frightened him to run forward desperately.

After two solid falls, Ban Qingcai had to slow down.

After all, the terrain in the forest is complicated, and you need to be careful when walking during the day, let alone running in the dark?

very scary!

Ban Qing was about to cry.

He promised Zhong Ling to go back before the fifth day, but he didn't pay attention, so he was so busy until late.

You can't keep your promises, and you don't want to let Zhong Ling wait in vain. If you choose to rush back overnight, it will be Ban Qing who will suffer.

In the dark night, his vision was obstructed, and Ban Qing's fear restricted his judgment even more.

After falling for the third time, the lantern in his hand fell to the ground and rolled twice before extinguishing.

Ban Qing: "..."

At this moment of despair, he never expected that he would hear Zhong Ling's voice!

Zhong Ling was already very close, and when he saw that the light source went out, he called out Ban Qing's name.

Ban Qing listened for a while, hearing the voice from far to near, and then asked tremblingly: "Are you Zhong Ling, or a ghost who imitates his voice?"

Zhong Ling's calling stopped, and he ran towards Ban Qing's place.

The moonlight was dim, and he searched for a long time before he vaguely saw the outline of Ban Qing.

Zhong Ling walked over, groped and picked him up.

Ban Qing couldn't see clearly, so he touched his face, eyes, nose and mouth, and stroked Zhong Ling's long hair before stopping.

Ban Qing was still in shock: "Oh my god, this is my wife."

The author has something to say: Zhong Ling: I haven't seen you for five days, I really didn't expect you to make such an opening statement.
