After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Zhong Ning's words touched his heart.

Since I have been reborn in this place, integrated into a new identity, and become a brand new citizen of this country, I have invisibly taken on the cause and effect of this body.

let it go!

Follow your heart!

Go as far as you can.

Lu Xingzhou felt his thoughts were in turmoil at the moment, and he had no mood to fall asleep at all. Familiar and friendly faces flashed through his mind one after another, making him more determined to go back.

He only hopes that one day in the future he can return to his former country with his fellow villagers.

There were also his family, his friends, his brothers and his comrades.

But before going back, you still have to do your current work well.

If one day he has to live out his life in this world before he can go back, he must find a way to stick to his original intention.

He has no intention of changing the world, but he just wants to carve out a path of his own in this cannibalistic feudal society.

As he was thinking, Lu Xingzhou fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up, it was already bright daylight.

It was almost noon.

At this time, Zhong Ning had already gone down the mountain.

Only a few people who woke up from a hangover were left, muttering to themselves, "Why didn't Brother Zhong tell me before he left?"

Lu Xingzhou was silent for a moment, but decided to say goodbye to them in advance.

He did not reveal Zhong Ning's true identity, but only said that he was going to visit a relative, and if all went well, he would stay at the relative's house for a while.

I’m afraid we can’t review our lessons together these days.

Lin Jiacai's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued with a smile, "Why haven't I heard Brother Lu mention that he has relatives in Shengjing before?"

“I didn’t want to disturb you too much before, but now…” Lu Xingzhou stopped talking.

But everyone already understood.

Now I am disturbed every day, and the other party is the princess of the royal palace.

I don't have the time and energy to review my lessons at all.

Lin Jiacai cursed in his heart, thinking that a wild boar could not stomach fine bran. It was a great blessing for him to be favored by Princess Anqing.

Even if you pass the imperial examination in the future, without connections you will only be assigned to a remote county. But if you become the son-in-law of a royal family, you will be able to reach the pinnacle of success overnight.

At that time, he would stay in Beijing to serve as an official, rise rapidly to the top, and have a smooth career.

But unfortunately, this Lu Xingzhou was still being pretentious.

What a blockhead!

"I wonder when Brother Lu will leave?" Xu Zirui asked.

Lu Xingzhou was silent for a moment, thinking of Zhong Ning's instructions last night, and then he said, "Someone will come to pick me up in the afternoon!"

"In that case, at noon today, we will hold a farewell party for Brother Lu!" Zhou Congxing continued, "I hope Brother Lu will accept it!"

Lu Xingzhou nodded slightly. Although Zhong Ning said that the three of them could be taken away together, since it involved military secrets, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

The three of them should have their own paths to follow and should not be implicated by him.

At noon, several people pooled some money and ordered a vegetarian meal. Although it was not as generous as Brother Zhong's yesterday, with their current financial resources, this was already the best they could afford.

After the meal, time passed quietly.

The fellows stayed with Lu Xingzhou, wanting to see what kind of people would come to pick him up.

Brother Lu's clothes are simple, but he is upright. I think his so-called relatives are just ordinary families in Kyoto.

After all, if he were a wealthy family, Brother Lu would not have stayed in the inferior guest rooms of Zhenguo Temple for such a long time.

But unexpectedly, it was mid-afternoon.

A cold young man in brocade clothes with narrow sleeves and a sword at his waist, suddenly appeared at the door of the T-shaped guesthouse with two guards.

It was Feng Xin, one of Zhong Ning's secret guards.

He had just returned from work when he heard that his master had been plotted against by someone while on an incognito tour and had suffered minor injuries. Before he had time to inquire about the details, Zhong Ning arranged for him to come to Zhenguo Temple to pick him up.

"Excuse me, who is Lu Xingzhou?" Feng Xin asked.

Lu Xingzhou looked around and saw a young man in dark silver brocade clothes standing coldly at the door of the guest house, confirming the candidate.

From an intuitive point of view, this is a person with a very high risk factor.

As Zhong Ning said, it should be her secret guard.

I don't know how good his martial arts are, I really want to give it a try.

"I am Lu Xingzhou!" Lu Xingzhou took a few steps forward and answered seriously.

"My master asked me to pick you up. If you have packed your things, come with me!" After saying that, Feng Xin turned around and left.

Lu Xingzhou turned around and bowed to a few old friends before catching up with Feng Xin.

They walked all the way to the foot of the mountain and saw two carriages parked there quietly.

A luxurious carriage, and an ordinary carriage.

There were twenty guards standing on both sides of the carriage, guarding it.

It was obvious that these people were prepared for him. Lu Xingzhou silently gave Zhong Ning a thumbs up in his heart.

But, he only needs one carriage, why prepare two? (Because one is for you, the royal chef)

Lu Xingzhou couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

He originally wanted to walk towards the ordinary carriage, but Feng Xin led him to the luxurious carriage, personally opened the door for him and invited him in.

"The master has instructed that Mr. Lu is her distinguished guest, and everything must be done according to the highest standards. Mr. Lu, please!"

Feng Xin stretched out one hand and motioned him to get into the luxurious carriage.

Lu Xingzhou no longer hesitated and went straight in.

The carriage is luxurious on the outside and exquisitely designed on the inside.

At least Lu Xingzhou had never seen such a spacious and exquisite carriage. He leaned on the soft pillow and quietly recalled the events of the past two days.

Suddenly I felt that this seemed not bad.

At least, he is no longer alone in this strange world, struggling to survive.

........

In the princess's mansion.

Zhong Ning was paralyzed in bed for two days before he felt truly rested. In the early morning, under Su Xin's quiet service, he passively put on his clothes, refusing to do complicated things and simply used a white jade hairpin to tie up his hair.

I don’t plan to go out today, so my overall makeup will be simple and elegant.

If there weren't so many people at home, according to her usual habit, she would have been jumping back and forth on the sofa in her pajamas at home.

But now that I am here, I should follow the local customs.

As a princess, she has to be exquisite even at home, but taking off unnecessary hairpins and jewelry and giving herself a relaxed little head is her final insistence.

"Your Highness, Mr. Fang, the Imperial Academy official, and Miss Zhang from the Marquis of Pingning's Mansion have come to visit you with invitations!" A voice sounded outside the palace gate. It was the female official Ruan.

"Please ask them to go to Qinghui Pavilion. I will be there later." Zhong Ning had a simple breakfast and then ordered someone to send some tea, fruits and snacks to Qinghui Pavilion.

Then he slowly stood up and went to Qinghui Pavilion in the back garden.

"Your humble servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Your Highness, I greet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
