Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 354 Reunion (1)
On the outskirts of the capital, several fast horses are rushing towards the capital.With a tired face and a solemn expression, it was Ling Xihan and his party.

Along the way, they were hunted down by countless killers. Fortunately, Ling Xihan's blood-clothed guard and Xiao Tingxuan left her hidden guard before they left. escape life.

The city gate was ahead, Ling Xihan tightened the reins, squinted at the vermilion gate brightly illuminated by the torches held by the soldiers on the tower under the dark night, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.She went out for less than half a year and came back to this place.The capital used to be as prosperous as brocade. I wonder if the scene behind the vermilion gate is the same as before?
"Han'er" Ling Hong rode a few steps forward on his horse, "he's finally back."

"Yeah, finally back to this place." She secretly sighed.

Luo Tianxiang stepped forward, "The city gate has already been keyed, so we have no choice but to knock in."

"Yes." Ling Xihan nodded in agreement, "The current capital city has already been controlled by Prince Gong and Zhao Linfeng. I'm afraid the guards will be stricter after dawn. It's safer for us to enter the city at night."

"Okay." Ling Hong nodded, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Luo Tianxiang worriedly.He and Han'er both know martial arts, so it's not difficult to enter the city without a sound, but if you bring Luo Tianxiang who doesn't know martial arts with you, then——

Luo Tianxiang naturally knew his worry and smiled slightly.

"Judging from the fact that Prince Gong's mansion has trained so many dead soldiers, he should still have many masters. If you enter the city rashly like this, I'm afraid you will fall into the net they set up."

Ling Xihan frowned, what Luo Tianxiang said was not without reason.

"Do you have a solution?"

Luo Tianxiang smiled confidently, "Instead of sneaking around, it's better to go in openly."

Ling Xihan was puzzled at first, then his eyes lit up.

"What a trick."

Luo Tianxiang's eyes moved, and there was a soft light in his eyes, and the smile on his face became stronger.And Ling Hong was not a stupid person at all, he understood Luo Tianxiang's meaning after a little thought, and his face beamed with joy.

"Then let's enter the city after dawn."

Ling Xihan frowned, "The question is, where do we live tonight? There are no forests or caves here."

Ling Hong was also in trouble, they couldn't possibly stand here overnight.

Luo Tianxiang smiled slightly, "Did Yingbo forget the royal temple located in the northwest of Kyoto?"

Ling Xihan's eyes lit up, "Baohua Temple?"

"Yes!" Luo Tianxiang nodded with a smile.

"That's a good idea." Ling Hong nodded in agreement, "Baohua Temple is an important place for Buddhism, and it's the safest place."

"But..." Ling Xihan frowned as if thinking of something. "Except for such a big event in the capital, isn't this Baohua Temple being poisoned by Prince Gong and others?"

"No." Luo Tianxiang's voice was soft, but it contained shocking firmness. "With the introduction of Qionghua Fairy, Baohua Temple is like a holy place in the eyes of everyone. What Prince Gong wants is power, and he will never pollute Baohua Temple, which is sacred and noble in the eyes of ordinary people. .Otherwise he will lose the support of the people and be defeated before the battle.”

Ling Xihan glanced at him thoughtfully, "If you can enter the imperial court, you will definitely be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, and you will be famous forever."

Luo Tianxiang was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "The officialdom is complicated and changeable, and my life is only a few decades. Why should I waste this short time on infinite battles? Don't I ask for guilt?" He said When I said these words, I absolutely could not think of a day that will be a few years later.He was willing, wearing a luxurious official uniform, stepping up the cold stairs step by step, and walking into the heavy and glorious court hall.Just because, there is her in that place.

Ling Hong's eyes dimmed, and a trace of bitterness floated at the corner of his mouth.

"Breathless and open-minded, I am far behind."

Ling Xihan just glanced at Luo Tianxiang, "It's getting late, I'll leave as soon as possible, if Prince Gong's people find out, I won't be able to leave."

"Um"

The three fast horses immediately turned around and headed towards Baohua Temple.

As Luo Tianxiang said, Prince Gong did not control Baohua Temple.But when they knocked on the door, they were rejected by the monks.Thinking about it, there was such turmoil in the capital, even if Baohua Temple was a royal temple, it would not dare to openly oppose the royal family, let alone the current Prince Gong is not what it used to be?But what surprised Ling Xihan was that Luo Tianxiang walked over and whispered something to the little monk.The little monk froze for a moment, then immediately opened the door to let them in.Afterwards, Ling Xihan asked Luo Tianxiang what he had said to the little monk that changed his attitude so much.Luo Tianxiang smiled without saying a word, but his eyes were somewhat deep.Ling Xihan didn't bother with this issue anymore, but just followed the little monk to the place where the pilgrims lived.

As soon as she walked into the bamboo house, Ling Xihan recognized that this was the room she lived in when she came to Baohua Temple last time, even the furnishings inside had not changed.

The moon was hollow, and the wind blowing all around made the bamboo leaves rustle.Ling Xihan sat by the window, resting her chin on the window rail with one hand.The pupils are a little misty.

The night wind blows gently, like a gentle hand brushing across the cheek.She closed her eyes slightly, enjoying the quiet moment.Suddenly, the image of Xiao Tingxuan flying in the air with her in his arms, and then falling into Yinyuetan was flashed in his mind.The sparkling blue water of the lake, the ethereal and soft moonlight, is still in front of Ang Ruo's eyes.

As her heart moved at will, she suddenly flashed her figure, floated out of the room, and came to the edge of Silver Moon Tan not long after.

Staring at it, it is still sparkling, it is still the blue lake and clear spring, it is still clear to the bottom, just like the beautiful and splendid night that night.The difference is that there are no viburnum flowers flying all over the sky, nor the man who wears flowers on her temples, nor his gentle eyes, nor his deep magnetic voice.And... that lingering deep kiss that was like a dream but penetrated deep into the bones...

Ling Xihan closed her eyes and let the wind brush her cheeks, bringing the memories of that day to her eyes.Facing the wind, she suddenly tapped her toes, flew to the lake, and then landed gently.Today, she is able to stand on the water smoothly, and no longer needs outside help and support.But her heart was inexplicably melancholy and lonely.Missing flooded in like a tide, drowning her entire thoughts.

She lowered her head, looking at the reflection in the water, suddenly a figure passed by.Her eyes were slightly fixed, she immediately turned her head, and at the same time, she shot like lightning.The next moment someone hugged her waist, and she fell into a warm embrace.The familiar fragrance of magnolia flowers accompanied her ears, and the familiar embrace pressed against her back, making her whole body stiffen suddenly.

In the ear, a low laughing voice sounded.

"The girl is still so open-eyed and clawed, always on guard against others." The man's magnetic laughing voice rang in her ears, and the hot air from him flushed her fair and beautiful neck.
