Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Leng Youran was very satisfied to see that he didn't doubt her at all. "As long as Commander Zhao is willing, you will definitely have a place in the Northland."

Zhao Xu felt relieved when he heard her affirmative answer.

He couldn't explain why, but he felt that following the person in front of him might lead to an unexpected future.

"Then I, Zhuang, will rely on Miss Leng from now on." Zhao Xu stood up and bowed to Leng Youran.

Leng Youran stood up and gave him a light support, asking curiously, "Zhuang? Commander Zhao is planning to change his surname?"

Zhuang Chenxu smiled faintly, "Not really. Actually, my father's surname is Xing, and my original name was Xing Chenxu. However, I changed my surname after I left the Xing Mansion with my mother. Later, the emperor, Zhao Mingyao, thought I was useful and gave me the surname Zhao. Now that I have decided to follow Miss Leng, I naturally have to reveal my real name."

Leng Youran's red lips curled up slightly, "Okay, from now on I will call you Brother Zhuang, and you don't have to call me Miss Leng anymore, just call me Youran."

"Haha, okay." Zhuang Chenxu cleared the haze in his heart and agreed readily.

In fact, he had been thinking about this matter in his mind since he met his mother that night. When Leng Youran mentioned it in the carriage today, he became more determined to make it clear.

Just as Leng Youran said, he is not the kind of person who would be shy. Since he has made up his mind, he will naturally express his thoughts.

"Brother Zhuang, I'll need your help on the road ahead. You know Zhao Mingyao's character. He suffered heavy losses this time. If he finds out, the road ahead will only become more dangerous."

"Well, I came to you today to discuss what will happen next. I want to send a letter back. I wonder what you think about it, Leng...Youran?" The word "Miss Leng" that Zhuang Chenxu blurted out turned into Youran.

Youran, Youran, what a nice name.

Leng Youran was very satisfied with his transformation and said with a smile, "It seems that Brother Zhuang has a good plan in mind?"

Zhuang Chenxu's usually icy face showed a strange color, and the corners of his mouth curled up but never raised. "Not really, I just think Liao Dahai..." Having said this, he glanced at Leng Youran and continued, "He's gone, right?"

"Well, it's gone." It must have gone into the wolf's stomach, Leng Youran muttered to himself.

"That's good."

"Hmm?" Leng Youran looked at him curiously.

Zhuang Chenxu clenched his fist and coughed lightly, "That's not what I meant. I was thinking, since Liao Dahai can't go back, why not make a fuss about his death?"

"Oh? Brother Zhuang, tell me about it."

"Here's what I think. Zhao Mingyao might not notice the Three Gorges Bay being blocked for a while, but the surrounding towns will soon know about it, and the news will naturally be sent back to the imperial city. In that case, why don't we..."

After hearing what Zhuang Chenxu said, Leng Youran couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Brother Zhuang, it would be a shame if you didn't become a counselor."

"Haha, You Ran is joking. It's said that you are a good match for a good general. Who do you think is worthy of my trouble?"

"Me!" Leng Youran pointed at himself without any modesty.

"Well, yes, it's you, so I will rely on you from now on."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Zhuang Chenxu laughed when he saw her like this, but he still maintained his usual expression. "Actually, I can only think of this because I know Zhao Mingyao. I'm not sure about other people, so calling me a strategist is a bit of an overestimate of me."

"That's enough. I'll take care of the rest. Brother Zhuang, just follow your instructions!"

"it is good."

"Oh, by the way, we still have to be careful of some people from the Li and Fang families on the road." Although she controlled Lord Fang and Lord Li, she did not control the relatives of his family.

Who knows if they will encounter any unexpected problems along the way.

"Don't worry, after you leave tomorrow, I will have the remaining yamen runners keep a close eye on them and will never give them the chance to do anything to harm the old man and the others."

"it is good."

The two chatted for a while, and Zhuang Chenxu noticed that Leng Youran was a little tired, so he said goodbye and left.

After Zhuang Chenxu left, Leng Youran fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.

Maybe she was too tired recently, but she slept until the next morning.

During this time, Old Master Leng and Leng Chengye came to her room door from time to time to check on her. They wanted to wake her up but couldn't bear to do so. They were worried that she was hungry, so they kept food prepared in the kitchen.

Leng Youran had no idea that her family was so worried about her. After a good sleep, she stretched herself and looked at the sky outside, only to find that it was already dawn.

I asked someone to bring me some clean water and washed up briefly. After I was done, I went to find Huanhuan and the others first, and then went to the room where Grandpa Leng and the others were.

When she went over, Mr. Leng's door was open. Leng Youran stuck her head out to look and saw that the whole family was there.

They were discussing whether to set off first and let Leng Youran rest for a while.

Leng Youran stood outside the door and smiled faintly as she listened to her family's caring words.

The people in the room were attracted by the chuckle and looked towards the door, only to see Leng Youran staring at them with a smile on his face.

"Grandfather, Dad, Second Uncle, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Good morning!"

"Girl, are you too tired these days? Come on, boss, go to the kitchen and bring the porridge that has been kept warm. Your little sister must be starving." Leng Chengye pushed Leng Yuyang beside him and gave the order when he saw Leng Youran coming over.

Leng Yuyang disappeared from the room almost as Leng Chengye finished speaking.

Leng Yuze and Leng Yuning stood up from their stools tacitly, walked forward and pulled Leng Youran to sit down.

She looked so cautious as if she were a porcelain doll.

Old Master Leng and Leng Chengdong also looked at her with distressed expressions.

Leng Youran felt warm in her heart because of their enthusiasm.

"Grandfather, Dad, Second Uncle, and brothers, why are you looking at me like that? Don't worry, I just didn't get enough rest the day before yesterday, so I slept a little longer. Look, I'm fine now, aren't I?" As he said this, he stretched out his hands and moved them left and right.

Old Master Leng said with a loving face: "You, hey..." He wanted to say something but when he thought about their current identities, he really couldn't do anything, so he could only blame himself in his heart.

The original intention of letting his granddaughter fake her death was to let her avoid all the troubles, but he didn't expect that she would be the most tired one along the way.

"Grandfather, Dad, Second Uncle, please don't do this. I don't know how to speak."

Before they could express their concern, Leng Yuyang came over with porridge.

"Then eat something first, little sister. We've packed up everything downstairs. We'll set off after you finish eating. We'll talk in detail on the way."

Leng Youran gave Leng Yuyang a grateful look. Fortunately, her elder brother came, otherwise she would have to sentimentalize with her grandfather and the others for a while.

She is the worst at sentimentality.

"Thank you, brother." She swiftly took the porridge from Leng Yuyang's hand and drank it in a few gulps.

This made Old Man Leng and the others feel distressed again.
