Chapter 147 - Requesting Duan Zhengchun
This was the Dali's border, and was closest to the Dali Imperial City, so Ling Xiao prepared to make a trip to the Dali Imperial City.
With the Royal Medallion that Duan Zhengchun had given him, Ling Xiao naturally had no obstructions in his path. It was just that the guards did not look at Ling Xiao with friendly eyes.
Ling Xiao clearly knew in his heart what had happened. It was definitely because he had let Ruan Xingzhu go, so Duan Zhengchun was furious.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Ling Xiao. No matter how angry Duan Zhengchun was, shouldn't he still meet him politely?
After Ling Xiao showed his Royal Medallion, a guard immediately passed the news to Duan Zhengchun at the fastest speed possible.
This was because Duan Zhengchun had said before that only a few people had the qualifications to obtain the Royal Medallion, and if the Royal Medallion appears, they must inform him in advance.
Therefore, when Ling Xiao rushed to the Imperial City on horseback, there were already people waiting for him at the door.
"Sect Master Ling, His Royal Highness ordered me to welcome you." A personal bodyguard wearing luxurious clothing politely said to Ling Xiao as he slightly bowed.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao nodded his head and jumped down from his horse, while a guard beside immediately came over and took the reins from Ling Xiao's hands, and prepared to bring him to the stable to rest.
This was, after all, the Duke of Imperial City's estate, so the treatment was still pretty good.
Following that bodyguard, Ling Xiao quickly arrived at Duan Zhengchun's study. Ordinary people would not be able to enter here, and presumably because of Duan Zhengchun's orders, Ling Xiao had come here unhindered.
After bringing Ling Xiao with him, the bodyguard immediately retreated, and only Ling Xiao remained in the room.
Ling Xiao looked around the room, after looking around, he sat down.
"Sect Master Ling is really casual." Duan Zhengchun said indifferently as he walked out from behind a bookshelf.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao smiled: "Prince Duan, didn't Madame Bai come with you?"
Hearing that, Duan Zhengchun's face tensed up, he snorted and said: "What brings Sect Master Ling here this time?"
"Of course it's important." Ling Xiao stopped smiling and said seriously.
Looking at Ling Xiao's reaction, Duan Zhengchun's heart thumped for a moment. He hurriedly sat down and asked with a nervous expression: "Did something happen after you guys left?"
After a moment of silence, Ling Xiao organized the events that had occurred not long ago at the borders of the Dali, and explained everything to Duan Zhengchun.
"What did you say?" Ah Zhu died? This King has never seen her before! "Poor child!" Hearing that, Duan Zhengchun became excited, and before long, his eyes became moist.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao realized that Duan Zhengchun's heart was actually not that cold. He still had some feelings for Ah Zi and Ah Zhu and her sister, but it was not deep.
However, this kind of extremely shallow emotion, was best not to come into contact with them. Otherwise, it would harm Ah Zi sooner or later.
"Yes, Ah Zhu died not long ago." Ling Xiao nodded and gave a definite answer.
The sad Duan Zhengchun wiped his tears and leaned on the chair, sighing out loud, "This child does not even have a chance to meet this king, in the end, the white-haired man sent the black haired man away."
"I did not expect this. It was very sudden, and very unexpected. However, I did not come here just to tell Prince Duan about this." Ling Xiao said.
After hearing this, Duan Zhengchun raised his head and asked: "What do you want?"
"Un, I need some herbs and gauze, the folk pharmacies might not be able to catch these medicines, I hope Prince Duan can help me with this." Ling Xiao said straightforwardly.
Duan Zhengchun was silent for a moment, then said: "Sect Master Ling, you know what happened at that time right? Right?
Ling Xiao nodded his head and said: "That's right, I am going to save her."
"Can you tell This King the specific circumstances? Although This King should not care about the matters between the two children, he should at least be This King's flesh and blood. " Duan Zhengchun raised his head and looked towards Ling Xiao.
After Ling Xiao heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Following that, Ling Xiao recounted the cause and effect of the matter.
After hearing it, Duan Zhengchun gave a somewhat stiff sigh, and continued, "I really didn't expect that the cause of this matter would actually be this king."
"Right now, Xiao Feng is feeling very sad. I don't know what kind of stupid thing he will do next, so I would like to ask Prince Duan to prepare some medicinal herbs and gauze for me." Ling Xiao said.
"Alright, I will send someone to prepare it, but Sect Master Ling, please bring this king with you." Duan Zhengchun said as he looked at Ling Xiao seriously.
"Oh? Is there something wrong with the Prince Duan? " Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, what had happened was also related to Xiao Feng's stubbornness, if Duan Zhengchun really went there, no one would know what kind of sparks the two of them would create, so Ling Xiao's worry was also reasonable.
When Duan Zhengchun heard this, he knew what Ling Xiao was worried about. He could not help but shake his head and say, "After we returned that day, this duke had also seriously considered this for a while, and thought that it was this king's fault in the past. Therefore, whether or not Ah Zi and the rest could forgive this king would still depend on them.
After hearing that, Ling Xiao lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Actually, I am worried about Xiao Feng. Back then, it was because of my hatred towards Prince Duan that he sent this written challenge, but he did not even see himself, and such a tragic event happened."
"This king understands Sect Master Ling's worries, but this matter requires an understanding. If Xiao Feng really has such a deep hatred for This King, then this king will not be able to sleep for one day until it is resolved." Duan Zhengchun looked at Ling Xiao, and said with a stern expression.
"So that's how it is. Prince Duan is still worried about his safety." Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and said.
There are too many people in this world that want to kill this duke, so one less is one less. Otherwise, this duke would truly be able to maintain an endless amount of fear when facing outsiders. Duan Zhengchun said with a serious face.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh lightly, "So that's how it is. But will there be any problems if Prince Duan follows me out like this?"
Duan Zhengchun naturally knew what Ling Xiao was referring to and shook his head. "There's no problem, ever since Yu Er came here, she had placed all his focus on him, especially after discovering that Yu Er's martial arts had become extremely high.
