Linglong said hesitantly: "I can't leave the palace. Even if I can leave the palace, how can I go? I have never left home."
"That's right," Fang Zheng nodded in agreement, "But if you really want to go, I can think of a way for you. It's actually not that difficult."
"Don't the city often have caravans heading to the border town? Why don't you just follow them? When you get to the border town, follow Dajing's caravan."
"Why should I follow Dajing's caravan? I don't know anyone there." Linglong said stupidly.
Fang Zheng smiled, took off the badge from his waist and casually put it on the table: "That's not a matter of my words. With this badge, I can find anyone to take you with me."
Linglong's eyes fixed on the ivory plaque on the table.
The back of the badge faces upwards, and is engraved with intricate patterns. It looks very delicate and valuable.
"This... Lord Fang, are you kidding? This badge should be very valuable."
Valuable? More than that, anyone who dares to touch this waist badge will lose their head.
Fang Zhengyi said with a relaxed expression: "It's nothing. I have a lot of brands like this."
"Seeing the badge is like seeing me. My subordinates often use it when they go out to do things. It is not precious."
"You can take it to the border town, find the official there, and ask him to arrange it for you. It's very convenient."
Linglong struggled for a moment, but still shook her head: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Fang, but I can't leave Pantai City."
"Why?"
"According to the rules, I have to return to the palace after leaving the inn."
Fang Zheng looked at Linglong calmly and shook his head, saying, "Nothing is impossible as long as you are determined to do it. You have been with me for so long and have made great contributions. I think the Imperial Master will easily let you leave the city. Your refusal only means that you still don't want to go."
As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, he slowly took back the badge and tied it back around his waist in front of Linglong.
Seeing the badge being taken back, Linglong's eyes flashed with regret, and she felt a sense of loss in her heart.
Fang Zhengyi said with regret, "It's a pity to say that. Linglong, a smart and studious girl like you should go to Dajing. When I was your age, I couldn't speak two languages."
"But when I was young, I loved traveling and visited many places. My mother told me that a person should have at least two impulses in his life, one for love without hesitation, and one for traveling at any time. Going on a whim is the most gorgeous luxury in life, and also the most brilliant freedom."
"If you were born in Dajing, you should be this kind of woman: not showing off, not quarreling, be a learned woman; not empty, not impetuous, be a rich woman; even if your life is exhausted, you can grow old in elegance. Rather than being penniless in the palace."
I have always wanted to live such a life, but how can I dare to hope for it?
Bitterness emerged on Linglong's face, and her eyes dimmed again.
"I... don't dare to go, and I don't have the money."
Fang Zhengyi's eyes gradually softened: "Dreams are not extravagant, as long as you take the first step bravely. I think since you want to, you can spend a few months to see the scenery of Dajing, experience the Goddess Festival in person, or even study in a girls' school for a while and give yourself a different life."
Linglong still shook her head, but her mood was visibly worse.
Fang Zhengyi was not in a hurry: "It doesn't matter, it's your own business, if you want to go, go, if you don't want to go, don't go."
"But I can see that you are a woman with dreams and ideals. As long as you want to go, I can definitely help you. I have plenty of money. The troubles you mentioned are nothing. I can even talk to the national teacher."
"Linglong, I'm afraid I'll be busy with official duties in the next few days and won't have time to go back to the inn. You can think about it carefully in the next two days. I'm afraid I won't have time after the day after tomorrow. Qinghan and I have something to talk about, so you should go back and rest early. Come to me anytime when you have thought it through."
Linglong quickly stood up, glanced at Fang Zheng with gratitude, gathered up her skirt and said, "Thank you, Master Fang. I'll think about it when I get home."
When she left the house, Chu Qinghan immediately asked, "Will she agree?"
Fang Zhengyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Well...it's hard to say, but I feel that she can agree because she has awakened!"
Chu Youyi slowly opened her cherry-like mouth and said, "What do you mean by awakened? You awakened after just a few days of talking?"
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes.
Otherwise, do you have to suffer a lot, have a relative die, and perform a Saiyan transformation on the spot?
"If she has never seen the sun, she can still endure the darkness. Dajing is so good, why wouldn't she want to go? Ask yourself, if you two were living in Jin Kingdom, would you want to go to the Dajing I mentioned?"
"We want to go." The two sisters said in unison.
"That's right, this is awakening. What's so complicated about it? Just ask yourself, who am I? That's enough."
"She just wants to take back the rights that were hers as a human being and see what kind of life she was supposed to live."
Chu Qinghan's pretty face was full of admiration. Fang Zhengyi's words had unconsciously changed her perspective a lot.
Chu Youyi just thought it was a joke. She came here to have some snacks.
"We'll know the result in the next two days. If he agrees, we should prepare in advance now."
Fang Zhengyi walked to the table, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and started writing.
Soon, a piece of densely packed small characters was written, and he shook the paper and handed it to Chu Qinghan.
"Qinghan, don't you know how to embroider? Embroider these words on the handkerchief for me, and try to make it look like a pattern. If Linglong really agrees to go, let her take this handkerchief and some other gifts with her, and say that it's for your friends in the capital, and send it to the Banshan Newspaper Association to Xie Xian. As long as she arrives at the border town, we'll be done!"
Chu Qinghan took the letter paper filled with content and looked at it, her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.
【wǒbèikùnzàijīnguó....】
"What is this...?"
"A kind of writing." Fang Zheng said.
Many people in the county understand Chinese Pinyin, and Xie Xian, as a part-time teacher, knows it even better. In Dajing, it is an encrypted text that only people from Taoyuan County can decipher.
Chu Qinghan frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "But using a handkerchief to send a message is indeed discreet, but if your badge is exposed, wouldn't Linglong's life be in danger?"
"No." Fang Zhengyi took out his badge again and showed the front.
On it were engraved the words "Jin Yiwei Commander Fang Zhengyi". He rubbed it twice and said, "The soldiers guarding the city gate are just ordinary soldiers with little education. If I wipe off the words on the front, this badge will become an ordinary ornament. No one will recognize it when I wear it."
"In recent years, the two countries have had frequent trade. I've seen that there are still many Dajing products on the market in Pantai City. It's not surprising that she wears this jewelry."
"The Jinyiwei waist badge has a special shape, and we have known about it through correspondence. The guards in the border town of Dajing can recognize that this badge is mine by the pattern. If Linglong takes the waist badge to the officials in the border town, as long as they are not stupid, the rest will be a piece of cake."
