Chapter 542 Postponement
When Xiao Lingjiang woke up, it was dark at night. The candlelight on the low table beside the tent was swaying gently, and the light and shadow cast in the tent were half bright and half dark.

She blinked her eyes, and her vision, which was still slightly blurry, gradually became clearer, and the pain all over her body gradually disappeared. It seemed that the master had spent a lot of effort to heal her.

Xiao Lingjiang turned his head and saw Pei You lying on the edge of the cave. The light and shadow fell on his face, passing over his brow bones and the bridge of his nose, making this face even more beautiful and attractive.

Maybe he had been up for a long time, but his face looked a bit tired after all. Even in his sleep, his eyebrows still didn't relax, as if he was worried about something.

Inadvertently, Xiao Lingjiang thought of that night in Yaozhou. At that time, she was still a living dead. When she was injured and unconscious, the person in front of her was guarding her day and night.

She reached out her hand and gently touched his forehead.

"Ah Heng, you're awake!" Pei You opened his eyes and looked at her with joy in his eyes, "Is there any other discomfort?"

"Nothing." Xiao Lingjiang shook his head and chuckled, "Why are you always frowning, be careful of wrinkles..."

Pei You held her hand that was about to pull away. The eldest son of the Pei family, who had been mature since childhood, rarely showed a bit of childishness: "If you help me smooth it, everything will be fine." As he said this, he took Xiao Lingjiang's hand with him. Fingers, caressing the center of his eyebrows.

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but smile and let him go: "I rarely see you like this."

Pei You sat up, looked into her eyes and said, "Ah Heng, I'm very worried about you..."

Since he reunited with Ah Heng in Linchuan, she has always been surrounded by all kinds of dangers and murderous intentions, as well as ghosts and monsters, and strange clouds and waves.

She woke up in the body of Lady He Qi. From a living dead who couldn't get enough sunlight to a new life, she gradually integrated into the He family. Monsters, evil spirits, shrines, aristocratic families, courts, and royal families also flocked in one after another.

Pei You knew that she was not that kind of scholar who lived away from the world and didn't care about worldly affairs. All the people in the world and the court were in her heart.But if you control too much, you will naturally sink deeper and deeper, making it difficult to flick your sleeves and float away.

Pei You saw that her journey was difficult and she was in danger many times, so he was naturally worried.

But he knew better that Ah Heng had extraordinary ambitions. She was the phoenix of Jiutian, and she wanted to soar in the sky.Since he had fallen in love with him, he could only walk hand in hand with her instead of trying to trap her in a cage.

He only blamed himself for not always being by her side, which in the end caused her new injuries.

Seeing his self-blame, Xiao Lingjiang smiled softly and said: "Apei, for me, being injured is not a strange thing. There is no shrine, no Xifan, Xuanshi is practicing , you will encounter all kinds of dangers. You have cultivated the way of swordsmanship, but it is difficult to reach the great realm. You have reached the point where you are now, and you should know this truth best."

"I am injured, but it is another kind of practice. If you blame yourself for this, it will make me worry too."

She stretched out her hand, held Pei You's right palm and said: "In this life, no matter the wind, frost or sword, just go where your heart wants. I am very happy to have you by your side on this road..."

Yes, it is useless to blame yourself. It is better to dwell on the present than to focus on the future.

Pei You looked at her gentle eyes and took her white hand into his palm.

The two lingered for a moment, and then talked about other things.Only then did Xiao Lingjiang realize that several days had passed since he was injured and fell unconscious.

She was seriously injured in the Xuan Realm this time, and the backlash she suffered from using the soul-stirring technique was even more serious.

Since it is a forbidden technique, those who perform it will naturally suffer its backlash.Those with crooked minds mostly pass on this backlash to others. Xiao Lingjiang is in the mysterious realm and does not want to do this, so he can only suffer it on his own.Fortunately, Chang Wuzi was here and spent a lot of effort to heal her injuries, saving her a lot of pain.

"Master, are you okay?" Healing injuries with magic is not an easy task, and Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but feel worried.

Pei You replied: "It's nothing serious. I'm just tired after all. After adjusting my breath, the Taoist priest went to stare at Gongji and Tuochang."

Xiao Lingjiang was slightly reassured, and then asked about Xifan and the shrine.

There was an earthquake in Liangzhou, and the Western Tibetan generals were eager to attack the border. However, they waited for a long time without any news from Gongji and Tuozhi, so they could only stand still.

Xiao Lingjiang narrowed his eyes slightly: "We must go to Xifan on this trip. In this case, Gong Ji and the two of them should stay still for the time being. Otherwise, once they break up with Xifan, given the current situation in Liangzhou, I am afraid that It’s hard to deal with.”

"Indeed." Pei You said, "Now that he is in Liangzhou, Gongji does not dare to be too presumptuous in consideration of his own life and that of Tuozhu. If the general from Xibo dares to move, he will probably write a book immediately to dissuade him."

He is not the only one who can be the prime minister of Xibo, but Gongji's life is the only one.Anyone in this situation will inevitably have selfish motives.

What's more, Tuochi is the national master of Western Tibet and a successor of Tantric Buddhism.Even if the king of Xibo is willing to give up Tuocheng, the millions of believers in Xibo may not agree.

In this way, both parties made a tacit agreement not to mention anything, just pretending that nothing had happened, and the marriage affairs remained as usual.

However, Xiao Lingjiang was seriously injured after all, and many people saw it with their own eyes.

Since she couldn't hide it, she didn't bother to hide it. She simply ordered the envoys in the marriage team to discuss with Gongji to extend the date of joining Tibet by more than a month.

In this way, Liangzhou can also take advantage of this period of time to cultivate, rebuild, and prepare for military preparedness to prevent the Western Tibet from coming back after the pro-independence team enters Tibet.

When Gongji heard that the period of entering Tibet would be extended, he was delighted: Could it be that the palace's methods had worked after all? Although Xiao Lingjiang could not be killed on the spot, was her life in danger?
However, when he saw Xiao Lingjiang with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be disappointed. The person in front of him did look injured, but if he said that she was not going to die soon, no one would believe it.

This trend of Xiao Lingjiang entering Tibet seems unstoppable.

Gongji was secretly anxious in his heart. He failed to take her life in the realm of Dazhou. When he arrived in Xibo, he was in trouble.There are also many elite soldiers led by Pei You, and Xifan will have to spend a lot of energy to prevent them.

He couldn't help but secretly curse Yongmu and Shengong for being unreliable. The earthquake happened as scheduled, but neither Xifan's plan nor Shengong's assassination succeeded.

The secretive people in the Shrine are best at plotting and planning, and they are very confident in their plans, but now even the White Tiger Palace envoy has been detained, and everything is in vain!

After all, the power is not as good as before... Gongji also had to make more calculations in his heart.

As for the White Tiger Palace envoy, Xiao Lingjiang had his soul taken away from him, and he already looked confused.

However, precisely because of this, his soul was extremely weak, and Chang Wuzi dug out the temple's lair from his mouth.

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but perked up when he heard this.
