Views:

Ling Chuyao still returned to the house in the middle of the night, and Zhuge Linlang waited for him under the lamp with a book.

"Why don't you sleep so late?"

Zhuge Linlang stood up and took the coat that Ling Chuyao had taken off and put it on the screen, and said, "I'm waiting for you."

A smile appeared at the corner of Ling Chuyao's mouth, but soon disappeared, "I have been coming back late every day recently. If I get sleepy, I will go to bed first. You don't have to wait for me."

Zhuge Linlang recounted what happened in the day, and then said: "I think Ten Sisters are a little strange."

"Ten Sister's temperament is very gentle. Due to the lack of her biological mother, she is also very courageous and rarely takes the initiative to get close to others." Ling Chuyao sat down and took a sip of tea and continued: "But she is also a poor person and has been following Liu. My sister and Yuanxi are becoming more timid and fearful."

Zhuge Linlang's impression of Ling Chuliu was not timid, only that her gentle personality was true.

When Zhuge Linlang was meditating, Ling Chuyao hugged her in the air, "Rather than thinking about so many things, it's better to rest early."

"What is the prince up to lately?"

Ling Chuyao said: "The treasury is not rich. The boss proposed to increase taxes this year a few days ago. My father ordered me to start this matter."

Zhuge Linlang frowned, "Now that the Chinese New Year has just finished, the crops in the field have been planted? What does Xiwang want to do?"

Indeed, everyone knows that now is not a good time to increase taxes, but Ling Xi Yao proposed it. The most important thing is that Emperor Xuanle has not vetoed it.

Emperor Xuanle thought about it two days later and ordered Ling Chuyao to go to the imperial village outside Beijing to check the status of tenant farming this year.

"Tomorrow, I will be out of Beijing. About three days later, I will leave Dong Lin to you. If you have any needs, let him do it."

On the second day, Ling Chuyao woke up early and took people straight to the imperial village on the outskirts of Beijing.

After Ling Chuyao went out, Lin Xue really came to find her to go to Xiangguo Temple as before. Zhuge Linlang left and right stayed in the house and had nothing to do, so she went together.

Sitting in the backyard of Xiangguo Temple, all eyes were lavender Sophora japonica flowers, Zhuge Linlang was distracted while listening to the conversation between the ten princesses and Lin Xue.

This time in Dayan was something she had never thought of, it was like a dream. You don't have to be busy to protect your family and your country, and you don't have to think about how to kill your enemies and avenge yourself and the Sirius Army.

But such days also made her a little at a loss.

Zhuge Linlang hadn't planned to marry since she was reborn, but she couldn't help her at that scene, so she could only choose someone who was helpful to her. Now that she had lost her country, she was no longer the famous General Feng Yang, and she felt a little confused for a while.

Lin Xue, who was talking, realized that Zhuge Linlang was not thinking deeply, and after yelling twice, she asked, "What are the five younger siblings thinking?"

Zhuge Linlang shook his head, "It's okay, but suddenly remembered some past events."

Lin Xue smiled knowingly, "When I was at home, I often heard my father and brother mention you, saying that you are more than most men on the battlefield, and I am envious of it."

The tenth princess also looked at Zhuge Linlang curiously, "Five Emperor's Wife, is it true? Is it fun to fight?"

The smile in Zhuge Linlang's eyes faded a little, and she whispered: "War is not fun at all. Many people will die and many wives will be destroyed. If it is possible, I hope there will be no war forever."

Lin Xue sighed and said, "That's what I said, the superiors only saw the achievements of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, but did not see the suffering of the people."

The ten princesses said: "Those are things that the emperor father should worry about. The two sisters-in-laws are useless if they want more."

Zhuge Linlang was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that his identity was different from the past. And she habitually regards the people as her responsibility.

Because of the words of the ten princesses, Zhuge Linlang and Lin Xue tacitly changed the topic and talked about some irrelevant things.

At sunset, the three of them planned to return to the city. Unexpectedly, the carriage they used to go out broke. It is estimated that the gate will be closed when the city gate is repaired. Therefore, after discussing with Zhuge Linlang, Lin Xue decided to stay at Xiangguo Temple for one night and go back tomorrow.

The three female families live in different wing rooms. Although they are in the same yard, they are still separated from each other by a certain distance and are not adjacent to each other.

Just after the first hour, Zhuge Linlang, who was already asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, and after listening quietly for a while, slowly sat up in the dark, as if waiting for something.

The acacia slept on the other side of the room. She followed the moonlight to Zhuge Linlang's bed and whispered, "Girl?"

Zhuge Linlang lowered her voice and said, "Although Princess Xi's martial arts is not high, self-protection should be fine. If it gets messed up, you should go to the tenth princess first. I don't know who these people are targeting."

The people on the roof fell into the courtyard, quickly found the direction, and all came to Zhuge Linlang's house.

Standing in front of the door of the room, Acacia opened the door while the people outside were not paying attention, grabbed the back collar of the person who fell in from the outside, made him turn around on the spot, and then kicked it out. .

Seeing that their actions were revealed, those people were stunned for a moment, and then they rushed to them. In order to make this action tenable, the master behind the scenes sent as many as twenty or thirty people to deal with Zhuge Linlang alone.

Such a big movement naturally couldn't help not to disturb Lin Xue and the ten princesses in the same yard, but these two people who were serving around hugged them tightly to prevent them from showing up, and waited until Zhuge Linlang killed and injured in the future. Open hand.

Zhuge Linlang stood expressionlessly in the middle of the yard, and the people in black lying on the ground all around, the cold voice rang in the moonlight: "Who sent you here?"

Seeing that they could not kill Zhuge Linlang, the few still alive simply bit the poison hidden in their teeth and died instantly.

Amethyst came forward and searched the whole body of these people. There was nothing to indicate their identity, so they had to look up at Zhuge Linlang.

Zhuge Linlang said: "It's hard for people to send so many elites over. I guess I'm going to vomit blood because of anger."

When she said the word "elite", she couldn't make a mockery. It was clear that she was mocking these people as idiots.

Amethyst remembered that Zhuge Linlang had been assassinated in Xiangguo Temple before, and asked, "Will it be the same with the prince that was seriously injured?"

Zhuge Linlang said: "No. Only two people who came last time forced me to fight back. Although there are reasons for the terrain, these people are not at the same level as those two people's martial arts."

Amethyst felt a little aggrieved. If they had been in Daikin back then, where would they have encountered so many troubles? On the contrary, there were too many assassinations after coming to Dayan.

Zhuge Linlang understood the reason for this.

Although Ling Chuyao didn't get the eyes of Emperor Xuan Le very much, from what he got, Emperor Xuan Le didn't completely ignore this son. Coupled with Ling Chuyao's outstanding appearance, the title of Princess Chu is still very attractive.
