Fang Heng lifted up the carriage's curtain and slipped out: "Speak clearly! What's going on? "
"Yes …" is the Second Young Madam... " Qing Feng was obviously frightened by something and didn't know what to do.
Fang Heng frowned when he heard it, but he couldn't pass through the horse carriage either. More and more people appeared in front of him, and he walked over to see what it was.
What did Ling Shuang want to do?
Ling Wan who was in the horse carriage was also at a loss, but there were too many people in front, so it was inconvenient for her to go over, so she ordered the maidservants by her side to go over to see what was happening.
When Fang Heng squeezed through the crowd and saw Ling Shuang kneeling on the street in the middle of the city, he couldn't help but be shocked. Was this woman crazy?
Ling Shuang was dressed in a tattered and messy clothing, and stood on the ground like a beggar with her head lowered and shoulders hugged. There was also a wooden signboard beneath her feet that had the words' Selling your sword to treat my illness' written on it. Around him, people were pointing at him.
"Aiya, isn't this General Ling?"
"So pitiful! I heard that after marrying into the Fang Family, he was forced by the Mrs Fang to live in the side courtyard.
"Damn it!" What kind of world was this? General Ling went out to war for the for ten years and now, they have received such a desolate scene, it is truly disheartening! "
"Did you see that the sword was left behind by Old General Ling? Isn't it too much of a waste to just sell it like that?"
"Doesn't the court care? "Your Majesty …"
"Shh …" "Shut up!"
Clank! Someone threw a silver ingot into the broken bowl beside Ling Shuang, and the spectators immediately began to get generous.
Ling Shuang secretly laughed, the matter with wind and rain tower's Gu Xiao Yun was done well, and very quickly, the public's opinion shifted to her side, the money spent was also worth it.
At this time, Fang Heng's entire face was red, but in his heart, a sense of fear rose.
Their Fang Family seemed to have gotten into big trouble this time. Although her Ling Family was in decline, Ling Shuang was a great general who had countless achievements in the battlefield, and had fallen to such a state.
"Eh? Isn't that the young master of Fang Family? "
"Tsk tsk!" Look at the young master of the Fang Family, her clothes are fresh and her horse is angry, but the Second Young Master is like this, the way the Fang Family bullies her concubine and the hundred year old scholar!
"Hurry up!" Seeing the angry stares coming from the crowd, Fang Heng quickly took Qing Feng and left. Today, this matter could not end peacefully, he had to quickly go back and report to his mother.
Ling Shuang looked at Fang Heng's staggering figure as he left with a smirk on his face. Just as he was feeling happy in his heart, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.
She suddenly raised her eyes and saw a handsome face filled with grief and indignation. The man in front of her was not particularly tall and sturdy, instead, he had a lean physique. He was in his twenties, dressed in black robes, with extraordinary handsomeness between his eyebrows, just that his eyes could not wait to eat Ling Shuang.
"Hu …" Hu Li? " Ling Shuang quickly flipped through the information in her mind. This was Ling Shuang's best brother in the army camp, her advisor.
Even if one did not speak of his martial arts prowess, this person was extremely crafty. He could also be considered to be courageous and scheming. Furthermore, she often called him a fox.
Hu Li was Senior Gongzi, the assistant minister of the Beijing Military Department, he had worked together with Ling Shuang for many years. This time, the Wuhuan was defeated, Hu Li was ordered to accept the gold and silver treasures sent over by the Wuhuan after surrendering, and also to welcome the Princess of Wuhuan as his bride. He never expected to see Ling Shuang in such a sorry state after returning to the capital.
His face was extremely gloomy, he pulled Ling Shuang up from the ground, stooped down and carried the Imperial Sword on his waist, and then ripped off Ling Shuang's clothes.
"Hey!" What are you doing? " Ling Shuang didn't think that the usually gentle and refined Military Advisor would be on the verge of erupting in fury. Before she even had the chance to react, Hu Li's outer robe was already draped over her shoulders.
"I don't want to lose my face and leave with laozi!"
"Who cares about me!" Ling Shuang also shouted in rage.
The expression in Hu Li's eyes darkened when he saw her, and fiercely carried her. Before Ling Shuang could even awaken from his shock, he violently threw her on the back of the horse.
"Ling Shuang, you must have some memory. First, you didn't discuss it with this old man, then married off. Now, you even want to sell Old General Ling's sword. I really want to beat you to death! "
Hu Li suddenly jumped onto the horse's back, and carried Ling Shuang away.
In the Peach Blossom Forest, Ling Shuang and Hu Li fought with their swords drawn. In the entire army camp, approximately only Hu Li's martial arts were on par with Ling Shuang's.
Hu Li who was at a stalemate suddenly threw the sword in his hand far to the side, and waited for Ling Shuang to raise it to stab at him. He did not want to hurt her, but this time, he was extremely angry so he dragged her into the Peach Blossom Forest, forcing Ling Shuang to fight with him.
"Are you crazy?" Ling Shuang immediately shifted the sword in her hand an inch, and pierced into the tree trunk beside Hu Li.
Just as she was about to pull the sword out, she didn't expect herself to be pulled into Hu Li's embrace, and held on tightly.
Ling Shuang was stupefied. She did not know that her body's master was actually involved in a battle with this brat who did not say anything at all.
She could even hear Hu Li's violent heartbeats. If she were to pay more attention, she would be able to hear his heartbreaking voice.
"Why? You idiot, who are you to marry, and why did you marry into the Fang Family? You like Fang Heng that much? Ten years of mutual protection in exchange for his betrayal, haven't you suffered enough injuries? And marry his brother? "
Ling Shuang was about to explain, but seeing the tears on Hu Li's face, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Hu Li was the son of a Venerable family, and had even been promoted to the level of Jin Zhaoyin in the army. No matter how one looked at him, he started to cry.
"You … Why do you have to suffer? "I am not very familiar with you either …"
"Not familiar?" Hu Li fiercely grabbed onto Ling Shuang's shoulder, staring at her panicking phoenix eyes, the grief on his face became even deeper.
"Six years, three months, twelve days. Are you familiar with it?"
Ling Shuang was completely speechless, it turned out that... Very familiar.
"I've only separated from you for half a month. How did you get married?" Hu Li was really at a loss when he heard these questions.
"I... I was also forced to marry by the Emperor … " Ling Shuang carefully thought over what to say. This man seemed to have a very good relationship with Ling Shuang, what should he do if he suddenly exposed his secret?
"Forced marriage?" Hu Li laughed miserably, "Can't you wait a few more days? Wait until I come back from Wuhuan to marry you! "
"General Hu!"
"Shut up! "Listen to me!" Hu Li roared out, but the pain in her eyes could not be hidden, it seemed that Ling Shuang's marriage had truly hurt this crude man.
"In the past, when your heart was on your chest, your mouth was always that bastard Fang Heng. Even if I wanted to, I didn't dare to confess. But now …"
The pure white figure suddenly appeared between the two of them. With a twist of Fang Yu's arm, he pulled Ling Shuang out of Hu Li's embrace and tightly hugged him by his side.
"Fang Yu?" Ling Shuang and Hu Li opened their eyes wide at the same time.
Fang Yu slightly smiled, but it was so cold that it could kill one. He coldly looked at Hu Li and said, "There's no need for General Hu to get involved in this lowly affair anymore."
Ling Shuang felt a chill down her spine as she felt a headache coming on between the two men.
