Li Jin went out of the capital to investigate all the way, and he didn't see Ling's group until the afternoon of the second day.A few people in strange costumes rode tall horses with a dozen guards and walked along the official road in a large carriage. Across the carriage, Li Jin could only see a faintly recognizable figure of a woman inside.

I didn't expect them to walk on the official road openly and aboveboard, which made me chase them for two days in vain.Li Jin quietly followed behind them, not daring to get too close, seeing that although these people were hurrying, they were moving very slowly, as if they were enjoying the scenery along the way.He also thought that he had never met her before, so how should he ask her for help.

Walking to the intersection, Li Jin saw a group of people stop and seemed to be identifying the direction. At this time, the guard who had been with him got off his horse and walked to a carriage parked by the roadside, seemingly asking for directions.After chatting with the people in the carriage for a few words, he returned to Ling's carriage and bowed respectfully, "My lord, the road ahead has been harassed by soldiers and bandits, and some local people are willing to guide us along a remote and safe path." It should have been approved, and everyone in the Ling family followed the slightly dilapidated carriage and turned into another small road.

Li Jin followed the group for half a day, and then turned to officialdom again.At this time, a man got off the carriage leading the way and knelt in front of Ling's carriage.

"Now that the flames of war are approaching, we and other poor people have to flee around with our family and children. We also ask the nobles to reward the villains with some silver taels for food and clothing."During the conversation, there were a few loud and loud head ringing.

The guard next to Ling's carriage impatiently wanted to take out some silver coins and throw them to him, but was stopped by Ling in the carriage, "Give him some of our dry food."

The guards took orders and put several bags of dry food into the man's carriage, and the group continued on their way.

Unknowingly, the sky darkened, but the dozen or so people still didn't seem to be hurrying to find the inn.After half a cup of tea, they actually got off the official road and pitched a few tents on the nearby grass.Although Li Jin was suspicious, he thought it would be easier to get in touch with this mysterious woman.

Unexpectedly, the girl's subordinates did not guard around her, but rested not far from her, leaving only two people to guard the night.The girl was covered with a mink blanket and leaned against a boulder alone to doze off. A bonfire in front of her was crackling, enveloping the man in a warm red light.

Li Jin quietly walked forward from the other side, stopped a few dozen steps away from her, and bowed his hands, "I'm Li Jin, I have something to ask the girl, I hope the girl will forgive me."

Until now, those guards just turned their heads to look at him, and didn't intend to stop him, which made Li Jin even more puzzled.

"Sir, sit down wherever you want."

At this time, Ling Shi had already sat up, looked at Li Jin with a smile on the corner of his mouth and said.

Li Jin hesitantly walked over and sat by the bonfire, seeing Miss Ling handing over a cup of hot tea that was placed by the bonfire.

"My son has worked hard all the way, drink a cup of hot tea to keep warm."

Li Jin wondered, 'she seems to know that she has been following her'.

The hand that was passing the teacup suddenly stretched back. Ling put the tea in front of her nose and sniffed it. She looked at Li Jin with some amusement, then drank the tea in the cup, filled it up and handed it to Li Jin again. In front of Li Jin.

Li Jin took the teacup in embarrassment, the cup was exquisite and small, it was a high-quality sapphire cup, a little white mist came out of the hot tea from the sapphire cup, it was so hazy between the two of them, it was both real and illusory.

"General Li, don't waste this good tea."

A very light sentence pulled Li Jin's thoughts back.

"Girl... Do you know?"

Li Jin knew that this question was a little weird. Since Pei Cheng said that this woman was well-informed, it was natural for him to know that he was a major general of the Rebel Army.

Here, Ling Shi laughed loudly, playing with the teacup in his hand, his smile continued: "General Li is blessed, there are very few people in this world who are lucky enough to drink this small leaf light crown."

In the cup is a fine small-leaf light crown. It is said that this tea was born in a bitter cold place in the Northwest. The tea pickers have to take great risks to pick it from the mountain. Only by careful preservation and fine processing can the mellow essence be retained. Even There are only a few tributes to the palace every year.

Li Jin was slightly taken aback, then picked up the teacup and drank it clean.

Ling's stocked up two cups of tea, handed one to Li Jin, and put the other to his lips for a sip.Looking at the crackling bonfire in front of him, he said: "General Li has saved my little girl's life. If you need help with anything, you will definitely do your best."

I didn't expect Miss Ling to be so direct.

Li Jin opened his mouth and asked tactfully: "The girl is not injured?"

Li Jin looked at the woman he accidentally rescued from under the horse's hooves that day, she was still wearing the same crimson purple dress that day, and she quietly put a jade Xiao beside her.

"It's okay, it's just... the little girl has grown so big, it seems that she has never been hugged by any man except her elder brother at home."

The rather joking words, the rather joking eyes, although the red of the bonfire reflected on her body, she didn't feel the slightest shyness, as if she was talking about the weather today.

Li Jin stood there blushing, and it took him a long time to realize that when he rescued her that day, he was in a critical situation and was afraid of hurting her, so he hugged her in his arms and rolled to the side of the road in desperation.

This time Ling Shi really started giggling, accompanied by the crackling of the bonfire, it sounded like a nightingale, causing several attendants sitting not far away to look back from time to time.

"Miss Ling, I'm really... abrupt."

Li Jin gulped down the second cup of tea that Ling just handed over as if to hide his embarrassment and shock.

Unexpectedly, Ling's smile stopped after hearing this, and only the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "General Li followed me this time, probably because he wanted to find out the whereabouts of the princess." Fill up the tea in the cup, "Just be a little girl to repay the son for saving his life, and I will do my best in this matter."

He raised his teacup and looked at Li Jin.This time, instead of handing tea, it was an invitation.

With a light touch, the glass was poured out.

"Jin still has a question, I don't know if it should be said or not."

"General Li, please tell me."

"The homeless family I met before helped the girl so much, why didn't they just give me a penny and some dry food?"

Ling smiled lightly, "If I give him dry food, his wife and children in the carriage will be able to eat immediately, but if I give him money, there is no way he can use it in this chaotic wilderness. The man asked for money as soon as he opened his mouth. What is the plan in your heart, huh?"

Ling raised her eyes to look at Li Jin, "If I need to repay every little bit of kindness to me regardless of the reason, can I be kind to General Li so that the general can accept one of my requests?"

Li Jin didn't know why, "Can I help the girl?"

Ling nodded, her eyes seemed to be burning with fire, she was silent for a while, and whispered in her throat like talking to herself, "The person who is within reach of the general is the most distant obsession in my life... If you wish..."

She turned the sapphire cup in her hand again and again, a trace of bitterness finally fell on her lips,

"Ah..."
