I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Linglong looked up at Dugu Aoyun.

"Can I trust you?"

Gu Du Ao Yun smiled heartily and spoke.

"Why not? Even if you don't believe me, it's true that Baidi asked me to protect your safety. Maybe he will come to see you soon. Then you can ask him clearly, isn't that enough?"

At the same time, he asked a very curious question.

"Actually, I really want to know why he is so interested in you. Is there any reason for this? Did you two achieve something, or does he have some purpose?"

Jiang Linglong did not answer, because she had no idea what Bai Di was thinking and her heart was full of doubts.

Perhaps, at that time, Hua was just teasing himself on a whim, or maybe he really had such thoughts, otherwise, with Baidi's style of doing things, it would not be so boring.

Soon, Jiang Linglong made up her mind.

Having such a capable person by your side will be a great help when you fight against the Fire King next time.

"Well, you can stay with me, but you have to be secretive and not be discovered by others. It would be too troublesome if you were to sneak around. It would be better for you to be my follower."

Dugu Aoyun was stunned when he didn't expect her to say that.

"This is a bit too open, you asked me to be a servant, do you know what I did before and what my identity is, you..."

Without giving him a chance to continue, Jiang Linglong interrupted him.

"You also said that, that was before. Don't you have to stay with me now? Instead of being restrained, why not dress up first, so that you can feel more relaxed."

"When no one is around, I won't care about you, you can do whatever you want, but when there are others around, you must make sure you don't do anything that crosses the line!"

In this situation, Dugu Aoyun knew that he had no choice and simply chose to agree.

Jiang Linglong understood that even if she asked him to leave, he would not leave.

If that's the case, why not let them stay in a peaceful way?

Seeing her make concessions, Dugu Aoyun did not insist and nodded in agreement.

The next day, when Commander Zhao arrived, he saw an attendant sitting on a chair leisurely eating an apple, and he immediately scolded him.

"How dare you be so rude in front of His Majesty! How dare you be so rude!"

The man slowly turned his head and looked at Commander Zhao.

The moment he saw him, Commander Zhao was stunned.

It’s Dugu...Ao Yun!
Dugu Aoyun glanced at him with contempt, ignored him, and continued to eat his apple leisurely.

He also recognized who this person was. Although he couldn't remember his name, he vaguely remembered that he was the person who followed Jiang Linglong.

At this time, Jiang Linglong came out and after seeing Commander Zhao's shocked expression, she gave a brief explanation.

"It's like this. I'll keep him by my side for now as a guard. After all, the people on King Yan's side can take action at any time. Now he has reached the realm of a true land immortal, and his strength is not something those people can contend with."

Although he said that, Commander Zhao was still very worried and couldn't completely let go of his worries.

"Your Majesty, but I think you remember what this man did before. If he stays here, it will also threaten your Majesty's safety. It is better to let him leave!"

This matter is quite complicated, and Jiang Linglong has no way to tell him the details for the time being. "Don't worry, I know what's going on with this matter, and I know what to do, just don't worry!"

Seeing how persistent she was, Commander Zhao had no choice but to say nothing more.

However, he was still worried and looked at Dugu Aoyun and warned him.

"If you dare to harm His Majesty, I will take revenge even at the cost of my life!"

Dugu Aoyun didn't care. He smiled and said sarcastically.

"You have such courage, which shows your loyalty, but you are too stupid and don't know your own weight. Do you think you can withstand a single blow from me?"

Commander Zhao showed no fear at all. He stared at him and spoke firmly.

"Even so, I have nothing to fear. Even if it means death, I have nothing to fear!"

Understanding his loyalty, Jiang Linglong explained.

"Don't worry, he was arranged by my brother-in-law to protect me temporarily. He won't do anything to me."

When Commander Zhao heard that it was Lu Yuan who said that, he was completely relieved.

Jiang Linglong had no choice but to use such an excuse. If she had said it was Bai Di, Commander Zhao would definitely feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, and might even join forces with other people to find ways to target Dugu Aoyun.

But now they have a more important task to do, which is to prepare to fight against the Flame King.

He didn't know when he would make a move, so naturally he couldn't let anything go wrong at this time.

After Commander Zhao left, Dugu Aoyun asked curiously.

"Why don't you tell the truth? If he knew it was Baidi, he might be scared silly!"

Jiang Linglong snorted coldly and said unhappily.

"The White Emperor actually dared to kidnap my mother and bring her to Dayan. He just wanted to cause a war between our two countries. He is really a cruel and ruthless person. He is also a member of the Great Zhou. Why would he want to do this?"

When asked, Dugu Aoyun immediately understood the reason.

"Da Zhou is now the most powerful among all the countries, so he is naturally wary of it. Moreover, if he muddies the waters, he can continue to collect magical powers, which will be more helpful to him, so he will naturally do so."

"But I don't understand why he asked me to protect you. I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't figure out the reason. Can you figure it out?"

Jiang Linglong had no way to answer his question.

She only thought of the inexplicable words that Baidi said that day. As for other reasons, she was not clear and felt it was very strange.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Dugu Aoyun began to speculate.

"He asked me to protect you because he obviously didn't want you to get hurt. Otherwise, he could have just captured you. Why would he go to so much trouble? Could it be that he's interested in you?"

His question was so direct that Jiang Linglong was off guard. She didn't know how to answer and just sat there awkwardly.

After hesitating for a moment, she quickly shook her head, denying it all.

"How is this possible? Baidi would be interested in me, are you kidding me?"

"If he really had some intention, how could he have kidnapped my mother? He must have other plans, which is why he arranged this!" (End of this chapter)
