Seeing that, Ah Xin immediately ran to the other table with the bowl in his hands.

Qu Ling resisted the urge to run with them and put down his chopsticks. He pulled on the man's sleeves and laughed dryly: "General, let's eat breakfast first."

Finished speaking, she immediately called for the waiter to bring a pair of clean utensils.

The waiter also seemed to be afraid of Xiao Jingyue, after taking the bowl and chopsticks, he quickly retreated.

Qu Ling's face stiffened, he tugged on Xiao Jingyue's sleeves, "Sit."

Xiao Jingyue shot a glance at her before calming his expression down and sitting on the right side of her body.

Afraid that the atmosphere would turn cold, she immediately told Xiao Jingyue about Gu Xi.

His expression was indifferent as he said, "Madam saved him. Madam, please decide."

He had already asked around to find out where the woman had come from, and had also asked Qu Ci earlier. Qu Ci said that she did not sense any energy flow inside the woman's body, and did not see any calluses on the woman's hands. There were no signs of martial arts training, and she truly was the daughter of an ordinary family.

Since she was a woman who was powerless, it wouldn't be a problem for Qu Ling to stay by her side for the time being if he was willing.

Although he left her behind, Qu Ling was not stupid enough to trust an unknown woman.

When they were about to leave, Qu Ling called Ah Xin over to her and his carriage, and told the injured and unconscious Gu Xi to sit in it.

When the Xiao Er who was waiting outside saw Qu Ling bringing Ah Xin here, he immediately turned around and said to Xiao Wen, "You are here to drive the carriage."

Xiao Yi: "…"

Didn't he know that his master was itching to skin him alive?!

Do you even have the slightest bit of friendship with someone from the same sect!?

The truth was that the Xiao Er did not have any friendly relations with him, and after he finished speaking, he immediately slipped away.

With fury towards the Xiao Er, Xiao Yi held onto his chest, which had just been struck by his master's palm. He endured the pain and took a deep breath, resigned to his fate, and became the coachman.

A group of three carriages slowly drove out of the inn and left the town.

Xiao Jingyue was also reading the letter. Ah Xin looked left and right and found that no one was talking to him, he himself did not know what to do. After teasing the Blood Spider and Green Scorpion for a while, he could not sit still and went out to chat with Xiao Yi.

Miao language clashed with Chinese and was no different from a chicken or duck.

Xiao Yi's face seemed amiable and amiable, but in reality, his heart wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

However, the little girl couldn't help but dance as she talked to herself. She was extremely happy.

Qu Ling turned a deaf ear to the outside and earnestly read the letter that Qu Ci had left for him.

Although it was called a letter, it was actually only a few exhortations. The remaining few were music scores and simple inner force cultivation methods.

It was the melody of the insect control technique as well as the internal technique and mental cultivation method.

Qu Ling did not think that he could learn it in a short period of time.

The weather was getting colder and colder. She could feel waves of chilliness even while sitting in the carriage.

She rubbed her hands, afraid that Ah Xin would catch a cold if he stayed outside the carriage for too long. Just as she was about to call her back, the man sitting opposite to her suddenly leaned over.

"You …"

The man suddenly put his index finger to her lips and made a "hush" gesture.

She subconsciously swallowed back her words and looked helplessly at the man getting closer and closer to her. She watched as her reflection in his eyes became clearer and clearer.

She vaguely guessed what he was about to do, and reason told her that she should reach out and push him away.

However, for some reason, his arms suddenly felt like they were being held down by something, and couldn't be lifted no matter how hard he tried.

When the man's lips touched hers, she couldn't help but tremble slightly, while the hand by her side subconsciously shook.

He seemed to be struggling, but at the same time, he also seemed to be nervous.

The surrounding air seemed to become thinner and thinner, causing her to be unable to breathe. Her slightly cold skin also began to gradually heat up under the man's faintly discernible aura.

His chest was swelling, as if something was about to burst out.

After an unknown period of time, when she was unable to breathe, he finally released her.

Qu Ling leaned onto him as she thought in such a sorrowful and sorrowful manner that she might really be finished.

Beauty was indeed a disaster.

She was captivated by the beauty of this perverted embryo!

On the way back to the capital, because of the soil and water not being able to handle it, Ah Xin became ill on the way back.

In order to take care of Ah Xin, everyone had no choice but to slow down their pace.

It had already been one and a half months since he returned to Zhai Jing.

As Qu Ling looked at the familiar environment outside, the fatigue from running around for days immediately dissipated by quite a bit.

She suddenly thought of something and turned around to ask, "Why is the road so quiet this time?"

Xiao Jingyue raised his eyebrows, "This general is not an assassin, how would I know?"

She choked and snorted, not asking any further questions.

Xiao Jingyue laughed lightly and retracted his gaze, lowering his eyes to look at the letter in his hand, which he had just received.

The journey back to Qijing from the town of Qiushui was a long one, so it was impossible for him to travel unscathed.

The reason why she felt that everything was calm and tranquil was because he had made arrangements for the Xiao Er to bring another group of people to protect them. This group of people took another route to avoid the assassins.

But because of this, the situation on the Xiao Er was not looking good.

Quite a number of the soldiers in the Southern Guarding Prince Palace had been broken, of the three Dark Guard s in that line, only one survived, while the remaining Xiao Er was injured once more. His injuries were quite severe and he was unable to return to the capital in the near future.

Although the losses were great, the harvest was plentiful. They had safely returned to the capital.

The horse carriage stopped at the General Mansion entrance, and Qu Ling didn't wait for anyone to support him, and jumped down by himself.

After staying outside for so many days, she would have to sleep out in the open from time to time, to the point that her General Mansion had become much more pleasing to the eye, as she turned around and pulled Ah Xin down.

Just as she was about to bring Ah Xin in, the guard at the door suddenly called out: "Madam."

Qu Ling stopped and turned to ask: "What's the matter?"

The guard swallowed his saliva and quickly glanced at his family's general. Seeing that his general did not seem displeased, he continued: "The young miss of Caoital Officials's manor has come to see you."

Li Ning'er? Qu Ling asked again, "When?"

"You and the general came by that morning after leaving the manor. You came by again two days ago."

"Do you know why?"

The guard lowered his head, "This subordinate does not know."

Qu Ling gently nodded, and did not ask anymore, as he brought Ah Xin into the Palace.

In front of the last carriage, a guard supported a frail woman out of the carriage.

The lady lowered her head and blessed herself in Xiao Jingyue's direction.

Xiao Jingyue did not look at her, and followed closely behind as Qu Ling brought up the topic of the house.

When Gu Xi saw this, he let out a light breath and followed her silently.

Xiao stood at the entrance of the mansion and watched them enter. He turned his body and whispered to the guard, "During the time that the general has been away, has anything happened in the capital?"

Facing Xiao Yi, the guard became a lot more relaxed. After pondering for a moment, he said: "There is nothing major. The only thing worth mentioning is that the young master of Minister of War's residence married the young lady of Caoital Officials."

Xiao Yi could not believe it. "Li Chenxuan married Li Ning'er?"

The guard nodded his head and walked in front of Xiao Yi. He lowered his voice and said, "That Miss Li seems to have something to request of Madam because I've seen her come twice. The first time she came, her eyes were as swollen as walnuts and the second time she lost weight …"

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "I understand."

After entering the estate, Xiao Yi went to the Clearwind Courtyard.

"Are you looking for Miss …" The young miss had returned, but before she could warm her seat, she had brought Ah Xin to climb up the wall.

Hearing Aunt Tao's words, Xiao Yi felt as if his vision had turned black and the sky above him was about to collapse.

So many days had passed, and he still felt a dull pain from the palm strike that Master had struck him in the chest in the Flowing Water Town Inn.

If he let his master know that he had lost his wife again, his next palm would probably hit the top of his head!
