First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 115: The Secret Guard's Appearance

"He asked the young master of the former county magistrate's family to assassinate me, which means he doesn't want to leave anyone alive." Wei Ling said with a smile.

"Ah? Then when you asked the shopkeeper to send someone away just now, didn't that mean..." Su Jixiang pointed outside the door.

"It doesn't matter. I have secret guards here." Wei Ling said, "I will protect them."

Su Jixiang...

"So can you speak without panting too much..." Su Jixiang suddenly glanced at Wei Ling, "You have secret guards, so why didn't you bring them with you when you went out to do things before?" After asking this question, Su Jixiang made a gesture to silence himself, "No need to say more. I understand."

For a man as proud as Wei Ling, revenge is something he would naturally seek personally.

He would not use the secret guards in this matter. Even if it meant risking his life or being torn to pieces, in Wei Ling's mind, this was something he had to do himself and he would not delegate it to others.

Wei Ling smiled faintly, "Madam, you still understand me."

Su Jixiang...

"I don't really understand." She scratched her forehead.

This guy has been teasing her with words since he woke up, which is very different from his previous image. Now Su Jixiang has no idea whether what he said is sincere or just a joke.

Forget it, most of the words of men in this world are not trustworthy, either they are just empty promises or sweet talk, but I can only say that Wei Ling still talks to me like this for the time being, at least so far, he still cares about me. After all, I accidentally picked up the person from the burial place of the Wei family, at least I have a life-saving grace.

Su Jixiang analyzed the situation briefly in his mind and stopped worrying about it.

"We've rested enough, let's go back. We've gained a lot today." Wei Ling stood up and naturally pulled Su Jixiang up.

The two of them walked out together, just like they had walked into the teahouse before.

On the way back, Su Jixiang still hadn't figured out one thing. She couldn't help but ask, "Why are they so sure that you will save me?"

"Do you look down on your importance in my heart?" Wei Ling paused for a moment and looked at Su Jixiang intently.

Su Jixiang was shocked... This... So she is important?

Then she suddenly realized, "Oh, by the way, I forgot that you were injured while hunting foxes for me. In the eyes of those people, you really value me very much." Then Su Jixiang laughed, "This is what happened! But it doesn't matter, let them believe it."

Wei Ling...

A silent sigh escaped from his chest.

This girl doesn't seem to have much confidence in herself.

Wei Ling was speechless when he saw Su Jixiang's pretty face.

It was also because of what I said to her before. Su Jixiang was not the kind of girl whose mind was full of love. It was reasonable for her to not trust me now.

There is ample time.

Wei Ling held Su Jixiang's hand tighter and walked forward with her.

"Anyway, you and I are tied together." He said calmly.

He still has a long time to live! He just doesn't believe it! As long as he perseveres, Su Jixiang will find out one day that he is serious.

After all, Su Jixiang is a girl who is recognized even by her mother's soul in heaven.

Ever since Wei Ling knew that he was picked up by Su Jixiang from the Wei family's burial ground, he had always had a feeling that Su Jixiang was the one chosen by the spirits of his parents and brothers and sisters-in-law. The fate between him and her was destined by heaven and could not be severed.

If he did not refuse when he heard Emperor Longchang say that the person he was to be married to was Su Jixiang, but instead accepted it directly because he did not want Emperor Longchang to tie him to the capital with a noble lady from the capital, then now thinking carefully, his fate with Su Jixiang had already begun.

Moreover, when he agreed to Emperor Longchang's request, he even felt a little happy in his heart.

But at that time he might have felt that after all, Su Jixiang was someone he knew, had good character, and was a reasonable person, and it might be easier to get along with him in the future. But now thinking about it, if he had not been a little moved at the time, perhaps he would not have agreed so quickly.

Seeing that Wei Ling was silent, Su Jixiang thought that he was thinking about the assassination, so he also kept quiet and did not disturb his thoughts.

The two of them walked back home together.

As soon as he entered the room, Wei Zhong came to greet him, "General, Madam, the people and things that were just delivered are now in the study."

"Did they deliver the person safely?" Su Jixiang was startled and asked. Didn't they say someone would kill them to silence them? She glanced at Wei Ling and saw that he didn't look surprised, so she knew that someone must be protecting them secretly.

"Yes, it has been delivered." Wei Zhong nodded.

"Well, you go down." Wei Ling nodded and pulled Su Jixiang towards the study.

"If you go, then I don't have to go." When they were almost at the door of the study, Su Jixiang twisted his wrist and said.

"Come together, I have nothing to hide from you. Besides, this matter involves you to some extent. You also have the right to know." Wei Ling said to Su Jixiang.

This is the truth, but Su Jixiang doesn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Although she was reluctant, Wei Ling still pulled her into the study.

The room was piled with a large amount of cloth sent by the shopkeeper. Su Jixiang only took a quick glance and knew that the cloth was far more than what the shopkeeper had promised in the store.

"There are a lot of cloths delivered." Su Jixiang pointed at the cloths piled in the corner and almost formed a small mountain.

"Yeah. They felt that the mistress was wronged, so they asked for a little more." Wei Ling also took a look and said as if it was nothing new.

Su Jixiang...

Wei Ling has been with her ever since he left the cloth shop, so how did he know all this?

Therefore, there must be some special way of communication between Wei Ling and the secret guards.

However, Su Jixiang had to say that Wei Ling and his secret guards were amazing as they were able to contact her right under her nose without her noticing!

Ye Shizhi was tied to the pillar of the study. Su Jixiang remembered that he had only knocked him out before, but now his face was swollen and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth...

So where did he get beaten?

Ye Shizhi is still unconscious... Su Jixiang calculated the time and thought it was not his fault. With the intensity of her attack, he should wake up soon.

She has a degree of severity.

Wei Ling clapped his hands, and a man in black suddenly jumped down from the beam.

Su Jixiang was immediately startled.

This was the first time she saw the secret guards appear after all the time she had been in ancient times!
