An ugly girl starts off, then becomes a beauty

"It's okay. She's usually quite obedient. She's slept with me for a few nights and she doesn't make much noise." It would have been fine if he hadn't said these things, but as soon as he talked about them, Sang Ling suddenly missed his daughter and felt a little regretful.

After all, if your child is not always by your side, maternal love will come slower than that of ordinary people.

As she was talking, she felt the person next to her get much closer, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.

"A Ling." Nie Jialang swallowed and slowly hugged her, "I did something wrong."

The emotions in her heart were stirred up by this hug. She held back the tears that were about to burst out and said, "You really didn't do well."

"You've worked hard along the way." Nie Ce added. Sang Ling sniffed and thought for a moment, "It's better than staying at home and not knowing what news you'll receive."

After he finished speaking, he heard the people around him laugh for no apparent reason.

"I find that you are really..." She was about to break free, but Nie Ce lowered his head and stared at her, scratching her nose, "This news was spread deliberately."

……

From Nie Jialang's explanation, Sang Ling finally realized that the emperor was simply addicted to the game of hide-and-seek.

In fact, in terms of military strength, it would not be difficult for the troops of the capital to attack King Cheng head-on. It's just that the geographical environment in the south is different. Jiaozhou is surrounded by mountains and rivers. If King Cheng plays tricks, the imperial army will easily be ambushed. Moreover, the emperor does not want to suffer too many losses in this place - the northwest in the future is a more long-term problem.

So they can only fight guerrilla warfare over a long period of time to consume the enemy.

Panyu is now like a beast in a cage, surrounded by enemies on three sides. Unless Cheng Wang jumps into the sea, there is no chance of escape. So he is still looking for Nie Ce. To catch a thief, you must first catch the king. As long as he can find which side Nie Ce is on, there is still hope to find a breakthrough and break this protracted war.

Therefore, Nie Ce also hid his identity. He moved to Gaoyao Gorge last year. Except for a few close confidants who followed him, everyone from the captain to the soldiers only thought he was a military marquis with a rank of 600 stones, and used the alias "Long Fei" to the outside world.

Sang Ling said his name was too rustic, but Nie Ce didn't understand.

"It means something unpleasant." She couldn't really say it out loud.

Nie Jialang heard this and said, "I didn't think too much about it. When I was naming it, I passed by a place called Feilong Gorge, so I named it Longfei." After a short silence, he asked, "Is it ugly?"

Not only him, Ying Bushi, Chen Feng, Yang Huan, Wu Zishi also changed their names: Ying Dahai, Chen Dajiang, Yang Dashan, Wu Dafeng. Nie Ce said that they took the names together on the Beijiang boat, and called whatever they saw.

Sang Ling didn't want to talk anymore.

After talking about all these random things, she didn't even realize when she leaned on this guy.

It started raining outside again. There was indeed a lot of rain in the south, especially in spring and summer, so much that it was even a bit annoying. Since they entered Dongting Lake, there was a rainstorm every now and then, and the cabin was extremely damp. Whenever there was sunshine, they had to quickly take the mattress and clothes out of the box to dry them, otherwise even if they didn't get moldy, they would smell bad.

She was about to say this when she heard Nie Ce say, "You guys rest here for a few days, and I'll ask Bu Shi to take you back to Chang'an later."

"I don't want to go back alone." She sat up straight. "I want to go with you."

"This is not a joke." Nie Jialang's expression became solemn. "A Ling, I can't always take care of you."

"I don't need your care."

Nie Ce knew that she was a little stubborn. He looked at her silently for a while, and felt distressed - it was obvious how hard it was for her to come here through such a long journey. The Sang girl didn't have any hair accessories on her head, just a simple bun, and her lips were dry and flaky. Her skin used to be as white as snow and was well maintained. She could glow even in a crowd of people, but now it showed signs of wind and sun.

"A Ling, be obedient." He softened his tone and wanted to hug her again.

This time he was blocked. Sang Ling said, "I can come here alone, so I don't need your care. I know it's different now than usual. Nie Ce, if we die, we die together, if we live, we live together. Now that I'm here, don't think of abandoning me."

In fact, she made up her mind only after several contradictions.

Perhaps she was a little impulsive at the beginning. Her rational side told her that it was enough to see her husband safe and sound. Didn't he also say that they were just fighting a guerrilla war, and even if there were some losses, they would not be lost to him as the main general. Attacking Cheng Wang was like an elephant stepping on an ant.

But on second thought, he gave up the idea.

Emotions ultimately overthrow reason.

After finally coming out to see the world, she was reluctant to go back.

Nie Ce seemed to have heard a little bit and was silent for a long time before he relaxed a little. "Then let the others go."
