Chapter 67: The Living Shen Lingge
The quiet surroundings, the dark environment, and the sudden voice coming from behind scared Xu Zhao.
A cluster of candlelight lit up, illuminating the small space in front of the wardrobe.
"Who are you?" the male voice behind him sounded again.
Shen Lingge held the newly lit candle in one hand and the dagger that had been pressed under the pillow in the other.
In the past few years at the border, in order to deal with emergencies, Shen Lingge has never had a good night's sleep.
When Xu Zhao first appeared, he hadn't noticed it until she rummaged through the closet, and the slight rummaging sound woke up Shen Lingge.
Worried that it was a spy, Shen Lingge did not say anything, but stared closely at the person who was rummaging through the closet. From the back, he roughly judged that it was a woman.
Then, he lit a candle, held the dagger high and walked behind Xu Zhao. As long as this spy made any move, he could at least protect himself.
Xu Zhao turned around slowly. She didn't expect that someone was living in this tent now. The clothes in the closet were probably the clothes of the person behind her.
Just listening to this voice, it sounds so young and so strange.
After turning around, I saw the same unfamiliar and childish face.
"My name is Xu Zhao." Xu Zhao asked back: "Who are you?"
"Xu Zhao?" Shen Lingge was puzzled at first, but then his mind cleared up again and he exclaimed: "You are Xu Zhao! The fairy sister that Deputy General Fang mentioned?"
The light illuminated this small area, illuminating Xu Zhao who was originally hidden in the darkness.
After learning about Xu Zhao's identity, under the dim candlelight, Shen Lingge looked carefully at the woman in front of him. What a beautiful sister!
She was wearing an elegant purple skirt, with delicate makeup on her face and loose black hair. She really looked like a fairy who had just descended to earth.
Xu Zhao: “…”
If possible, she didn't really want to be a fairy.
"Don't listen to what Deputy General Fang says. I'm just an ordinary person." Being called a fairy sister, Xu Zhao dug his toes into the ground.
"You haven't told me who you are yet?"
Now that he knew the identity of the person in front of him, Shen Lingge naturally did not hide his identity, "My name is Shen Lingge, the eldest prince of the Moon Kingdom."
This time it was Xu Zhao who was shocked, her eyes widened.
Xu Zhao: “!!!”
Shen Lingge!
That founding emperor Shen Lingge?
She looked at the little boy in front of her who was only as tall as her shoulders, and he would actually unify the four kingdoms after who knows how many years!
I never thought that one day, I would actually be able to see Shen Lingge alive, and he was standing in front of me right now, and we were even able to talk!
Seeing Xu Zhao was slow to speak, Shen Lingge asked, "Fairy sister, what's wrong?"
Xu Zhao was shocked by this surprise, but she was stunned for a moment. She came to her senses, covered up the shock in her heart and waved her hands, "I'm fine. By the way, what time is it now?"
She needs to know what year it is so that she can quickly determine the time.
“It is now the twelfth year of my father’s reign.” Shen Lingge answered honestly.
It is said that one day in heaven is one year on earth. The fairy sister has just come down to earth, no wonder she doesn’t know the current time.
Showa 12?
Xu Zhao recalled the past. She remembered that she had heard Chen Yu talk about the timeline last time.
Not long after she came into this world for the first time, the old emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne.
The second time he traveled through time was in the second year after the new emperor ascended the throne, which was 1539.
This time of time travel actually lasted ten years!
"Fairy sister, let's go find the emperor's uncle!" As she said that, Shen Lingge raised her hand and was about to pull Xu Zhao's wrist, but when it was still half an inch away from her wrist, Shen Lingge's hand stopped in mid-air.
He was used to staying in the military camp, which was full of men, so no one had to worry about the distinction between men and women.
Now that he had come into contact with the girl all of a sudden, Shen Lingge subconsciously treated her like an ordinary general.
Seeing that he suddenly stopped moving, Xu Zhao raised his hand and grabbed Shen Lingge's wrist, "It's too late today. I'll go find him tomorrow and give him a surprise."
I already knew the relationship between Shen Yu and Shen Lingge, so I naturally knew who the imperial uncle he was talking about was.
"I don't know if Chen Yu has changed a lot after not seeing him for ten years. He was already good-looking enough ten years ago, and he should be more mature and better-looking now. I'm looking forward to it." Xu Zhao muttered softly, and the villain in his heart couldn't help rubbing his hands.
Shen Lingge saw Xu Zhao's rosy thin lips slightly open, as if mumbling to himself, "Fairy sister, what are you mumbling about?"
"Nothing, but, eldest prince, I'm really not some fairy sister. You're still young now, so if you don't mind, you can call me Sister Zhao Zhao."
To be honest, Xu Zhao was somewhat embarrassed to let an ancient person call her sister, but fortunately Shen Lingge was still young, so Xu Zhao could barely accept it. But what if one day when she traveled through time, Xu Zhao was not older than him, what would she do...
“If you feel it is inappropriate, you can just call me Xu Zhao.” In the eyes of ancient people, the hierarchy of respect and inferiority was engraved in their bones. Xu Zhao felt that the eldest prince of a country would not easily call her sister.
"Okay, Fairy Sister! Then I will call you Sister Zhaozhao from now on." Shen Lingge readily agreed. There are not so many rules in the military camp nowadays.
“Since Sister Zhaozhao said so, let’s go find the emperor’s uncle tomorrow.” After Shen Lingge finished speaking, he remembered something more important.
"I heard from my uncle before that this tent was prepared for you, but it was left empty until I moved in."
But there was only one bed in the room.
The two of them came to the bed. When they heard the noise, Shen Lingge immediately lifted the quilt and became alert. The bed was now a mess. "How about I sleep on the floor?" As he said that, he went forward and was about to pick up the quilt on the bed.
Shen Lingge felt that as a man, he should leave the bed to the fairy sister! She had delicate skin and tender flesh, and the stones on the ground were too harsh on her, so he should bear the consequences.
Xu Zhao, who walked on the stones barefoot, knew best how harsh the stones on the ground were.
Of course, she would not let the future emperor sleep on the ground for her, otherwise she would feel guilty.
"When I was rummaging through the closet just now, I found two quilts." Fortunately, I took a closer look when I was looking for shoes just now.
You have to know that she is a 26-year-old young woman, lying in bed with a 15-year-old boy, which actually does not involve any major differences between men and women.
"We can separate the two of us in the middle of the bed with a quilt, and then we can sleep at both ends, each with our own quilt, so that we don't affect each other. What do you think?"
Shen Lingge felt that something was wrong when he heard this, "No, I'm a man..."
Before he could finish, Xu Zhao raised his hand and interrupted him, "In our world, if you do as I say, it won't involve the issue of gender separation, so you don't have to worry about so much."
"The fairy world is so..." Shen Lingge wanted to say that he had no sense of shame, but he felt that it was not a good idea to say so. However, it was true that the mortal world could not be compared with the fairy world.
