Chapter 52
"Your Highness, you're overthinking it. I'm not interested in romantic matters right now. I just want to live a better life and keep my family safe."
Lu Ling said.
Bai Xichen smiled, didn't ask any more questions, stepped out of the cell, and was about to leave when Lu Ling called him.
"I have something to ask you." Lu Ling said, looking at Bai Xichen's back.
She couldn't just sit there and wait for death. It would be as easy for Yang Gan to kill her as to crush an ant. She couldn't die.
Bai Xichen turned around and looked at Lu Ling, slightly surprised, "What is Miss Lu going to do?"
"Can you help me escape?" Lu Ling asked.
The fan was opened again, and Bai Xichen looked down at Lu Ling condescendingly: "If I help Miss Lu, what benefits will I get?"
Lu Ling thought for a moment and said, "Except marrying you, I will agree to anything I can do."
Bai Xichen curled his lips and said, "Okay, wait for my news."
Bai Xichen acted quickly and returned to the cell again within a few days.
He seemed to have made sufficient preparations to allow Lu Ling to escape in one go.
Lu Ling was a little worried at first, but when he saw Bai Xichen's calm demeanor, he felt relieved.
There are many of Bai Xichen's confidants in the Sky Prison. His confidants came to Lu Ling one after another as early as after Lu Ling said that sentence that day, and the rest of the people were sent away.
As long as he could hide from the guards outside the prison, Lu Ling would be able to escape.
"Put on this set of clothes and go out with me later." Bai Xichen threw a set of clothes to Lu Ling and asked Lu Ling to pretend to be Bai Xichen's subordinate.
After Bai Xichen finished speaking, he asked his men to send the guards away, and he walked aside and waited silently for Lu Ling to change his clothes.
He walked over only after Lu Ling had changed.
Bai Xichen glanced at Lu Ling, then said, "Follow me and don't make any noise."
Lu Ling nodded and followed Bai Xichen out.
Fortunately, no one recognized me and everything went smoothly.
Lu Ling followed Bai Xichen all the way, and only when they arrived at the Shuan Palace did she realize that Bai Xichen had brought her to the palace.
"If I follow you into Prince Shu'an's Mansion like this, will it implicate you?" Lu Ling hesitated.
Bai Xichen smiled and said, "When you asked me to help you, didn't you want to implicate me?"
Lu Ling was speechless. He had asked Bai Xichen for help because he thought that he was the only one who could help him and he was eager to leave the cell. But Lu Ling never thought that he would bring him to the palace.
"It's okay, they don't dare to come here yet." Bai Xichen saw through Lu Ling's thoughts and comforted him.
Seeing that Bai Xichen looked confident, Lu Ling no longer hesitated and followed him in.
Bai Xichen arranged a room for her. He had something else to do, so he asked the housekeeper to take Lu Ling to the room.
The room was very luxurious, with fine vermilion lacquer furniture. There was a blanket on the chaise longue, and the gauze curtains hung low. The window frames were slightly open, and a breeze blew, blowing the gauze curtains.
When Lu Ling saw the layout of the room, she was stunned. This room seemed like it was only for a princess.
She wanted the housekeeper to help her change rooms, but the housekeeper had already gone away.
Lu Ling felt embarrassed to disturb Bai Xichen again, so he thought of talking to someone about it tomorrow.
The next day, Ye Rong came to see Lu Ling.
Lu Ling was a little shocked when he saw Ye Rong. The military regulations were strict and it was impossible for Ye Rong to get out. The first thing Lu Ling thought of was Bai Xichen's help.
Ye Rong looked very vicissitudes of life. She looked at Lu Ling and couldn't help crying, "General, are you okay?"
Lu Ling shook his head and said he was fine.
"Why are you here? In the army..."
"Don't worry, General. I came here with the prince. General Yang and the others have given their permission." Seeing that Lu Ling was worried about her, Ye Rong explained.
"What's the situation in the army now?" I escaped from the cell yesterday, and Yang Gan and the others should have discovered me by now.
Bai Xichen hasn't come to see him since yesterday, and Lu Ling doesn't know what's going on outside.
"King Shuan made a good arrangement. Now General Yang and the others think you are dead." Ye Rong said.
"Dead?" Lu Ling didn't expect that he would "die" again. It was really ridiculous.
Ye Rong nodded and said, "Yes, after you left yesterday, King Shu'an brought the female corpse to the cell where you were. The person was disguised to look like you, and everyone thought you were dead."
Lu Ling sighed that Bai Xichen was so meticulous in his work that not a single flaw was revealed.
Such a meticulous plan could not be completed within a day, so Bai Xichen wanted to save him before he even opened his mouth. Lu Ling felt that Bai Xichen seemed a little crazy.
Lu Ling's lips curled up and he said, "This is all thanks to King Shu An."
As if remembering something, Lu Ling asked Ye Rong again: "Would you like to follow me?"
Ye Rong was startled for a moment, then said, "General Lu has done me a favor, and I am willing to obey your orders."
When Bai Xichen came to see Lu Ling, Ye Rong had already left.
Seeing Bai Xichen, Lu Ling asked, "Your Majesty, I have another favor to ask of you. This is a matter of great importance. Please consider it carefully before making a decision."
Bai Xichen was stunned when he saw Lu Ling being so serious, and then asked Lu Ling what was the matter.
"I want to borrow troops from the prince?"
"Borrow soldiers? What do you want soldiers for?" Bai Xichen asked Lu Ling.
Lu Ling stood up and walked to a potted plant nearby, where the peonies were in full bloom. "The Lu family has always been loyal to Daliang and fulfilled their duties, but the emperor has repeatedly distrusted our Lu family and has threatened to put them to death. I think..."
"It's time for the world to change."
Lu Ling plucked off a peony petal.
Bai Xichen walked up to Lu Ling, laughed, and said, "Really? What if I don't have any soldiers?"
The petals in Lu Ling's hand were crumpled to pieces. Lu Ling stared at them and said, "If there are no soldiers, I will disguise myself and enter the palace, and let the emperor die without anyone noticing."
Lu Ling had already prepared for a fight to the death. When she found out that it was the current emperor who framed the Lu family, she could no longer stand it.
She was fooled by the emperor and she wanted him to die no matter what.
Bai Xichen was frightened by what Lu Ling said. He used to think that Lu Ling was good at military tactics and knew that she was a smart girl, but he didn't expect that she was so courageous.
He admired Lu Ling and replied, "Okay! I'll lend it to you."
King An of Shu actually did not have many soldiers. Since Shu surrendered and was changed into Shuzhou, King An of Shu's military strength had been weakened a lot. However, in order to make Shu truly submit to Daliang, the late emperor gave them many privileges, and even their military strength was twice that of other states.
What they didn't know was that Bai Xichen had been secretly raising many soldiers.
It was not for the purpose of opposing Liang, but because he was afraid that the Emperor of Daliang would go back on his word and want to kill King An of Shu.
But now, these soldiers have embarked on the path of opposing Liang.
Lu Ling didn't expect Bai Xichen to agree so quickly and was a little shocked.
Bai Xichen saw Lu Ling's dazed look and thought Lu Ling was cute, so he gently patted Lu Ling's head with his fan.
"Miss." Someone called Lu Ling.
Lu Ling looked over and saw Jiang Yun walking towards him.
Jiang Yun was injured and his hand was bandaged.
"Why are you here?" Lu Ling hadn't seen Jiang Yun since he was arrested that day. He thought Jiang Yun was also arrested, and he must have implicated him.
"It was King Shu'an who helped me. He said you were here, so I came." Jiang Yun said.
Lu Ling looked at Bai Xichen and said gratefully, "Thank you." He owed Bai Xichen too much.
Bai Xichen shook his head and said, "It's okay, I volunteered for these."
*
Lu Ling has been discussing tactics with Jiang Yun and Bai Xichen recently. It is not an easy task to rebel against Liang.
Just when a few people were discussing tactics, the housekeeper came to report: Baipu Kingdom and Daliang had reached a truce and wanted to negotiate peace.
The one who advocated peace talks was the new king of Baipu Kingdom, who was also Lu Ling's former fiancé.
He used to be called Shen Wangyou, and now he is called Nan Rongjing. To be more precise, he has always been called Nan Rongjing.
That day, after meeting Lu Ling, Nan Rongjing returned to the city.
Although Nan Rongjing was injured, it was not serious. He originally wanted to stay here. He wanted to explain everything to Lu Ling, so after the witch doctor bandaged Nan Rongjing's wound, he continued to stay there.
But when the King of Baipu heard that his son was injured, he was extremely anxious and ordered him to return as soon as possible, leaving the fighting to the generals under him.
Nan Rongjing couldn't stand his father and had to return to the palace.
As soon as he returned to the palace, the King of Baipu Kingdom pulled his hand and turned it around to see where Nan Rongjing was injured.
Nan Rongjing was speechless at his father's behavior and said with a smile that he was fine.
But the King of Baipu Kingdom was not willing to let his guard down. He called all the witch doctors in the palace to check the pulse of his precious prince. He was not relieved until everyone said that Nan Rongjing was fine.
Nan Rongjing frowned in annoyance and asked his father, "Father, since you see I'm fine, can I go back..."
The old king's eyes glared, his beard flying. He said, "No! On the battlefield, swords have no mercy. What if I hurt you again? I didn't obey your brother in the first place and asked you to attack Daliang..."
The old king couldn't stop talking once he started. Nan Rongjing had long been accustomed to this kind of nagging. It went in one ear and out the other. After a long time, the old king stopped talking because he felt thirsty.
After drinking a sip of tea, the old king felt much better and continued to preach. Finally, Nan Rongjing summed it up in one sentence, which was that he was not allowed to go to the battlefield again.
Afterwards, the old king left, but sent many people to follow Nan Rongjing. The old king would be the first to know about any movement he made.
Nan Rongjing knew that he would not be able to leave in a short time, so he returned to his bedroom to sleep.
Lying on the bed, he recalled the scene of meeting Lu Ling again that day.
He had thought about confessing to Lu Ling, but he never had enough courage.
Nan Rongjing never thought that he would return to Baipu, because Baipu was nothing more than a cage to him.
At the beginning, Nan Rongjing only took Lin Yao and Lin Yu back to his mother's hometown. Because that was where his mother had the best memories of her life, he stayed there for a few more days.
Unexpectedly, they were chased on the way back. Lin Yao separated from them, and she and Lin Yu fled all the way to the capital of Daliang.
At that time, he and Lin Yu separated during the day in order to reduce attention.
There was heavy snow, which made him very cold and hungry, but he had no money on him, so he could only look at the fresh food.
And just at this moment, Lu Ling came and his heart was also hooked away.
