Chapter 285 Sauvignon Blanc 42
After Anian came in and said this, Xuanxuan's face became even uglier.

Because what Anian said were indisputable facts. No matter what, he was not Hao Ling's man, but a member of Xiyan, who was hostile to Hao Ling. He had no words to refute.

He is now living under someone else's roof. His master treats him as his own son, but he still values ​​his own daughter the most.

Seeing Xuan so sad, Xiaoyao also felt a little sad.

Now, she doesn't even have the chance to return to her own home.

Xiaoyao pulled Xuan and tried to leave, but Lingxi stopped her: "Wait."

Xiao Yao turned around and looked at Ling Xi. Seeing her so unbridled and proud, there was a hint of envy in her eyes.

Ling Xi stared at Xiao Yao for a while, and under the anxious gaze of Xuan Xuan, she finally spoke, "Xiao Yao, I am not lying. You can come and go anywhere in the entire Great Wilderness except the capital of Xiyan. I will treat you as my own sister. I can guarantee that you will live a free and comfortable life, and you can do what you like. No one will force you to do anything.

I hope you can think about what I said. Your life is your own. Don’t compromise it for anyone else.”

Ling Xi didn't call her sister, but called her by her name directly, which meant
Thinking of Xiaoyao's tragic fate in the original plot, Ling Xi couldn't help but want to persuade Xiaoyao.

Xuanxuan is too ambitious. If Xiaoyao follows him, she will definitely be hurt in the future. Her first half of life has been miserable enough, so Lingxi wants to give her a choice and a chance to be free.

Hearing Ling Xi say these words, Xiao Yao was almost moved and agreed.

And to be honest, there was nothing in Xiyan City worth her staying for, except the memories between her, her grandmother, her mother and her brother.

She didn't like Xiyan City. People there were fighting for power and there was no warmth at all.

Xuan Xuan grabbed Xiaoyao's arm in panic and murmured anxiously, "Xiaoyao."

Xiao Yao looked up and saw the panic and fragility in Xuan's eyes, and the excitement she felt for Ling Xi's words was suppressed.

She still has a brother, her only relative. She can't let her brother face the storms and conspiracies in Xiyan City alone.

After thinking for a while, Xiaoyao looked at Lingxi with a smile, her expression was gentle, but she shook her head firmly: "Axi, thank you very much, but I can't promise you this."

Since she regained her identity, Xiao Yao almost thought that A Xi would hate her for appearing suddenly. But the words just now made Xiao Yao realize that A Xi was still the kind-hearted girl with a very gentle heart.

Ling Xi lowered her eyes. She had already expected the result and was not surprised at all.

"I understand. I will keep this promise to you. If you change your mind one day, send me a message and I will help you."

Ling Xi told Xiao Yao very seriously that she really hoped that day would never come.

Xiaoyao said gratefully: "Thank you."

Ling Xi waved her hand, and Xiao Yao immediately pulled Xuan out.

Ah Nian puffed up his face unhappily and complained, "Sister, since she doesn't appreciate it, why do you still help her so much? Isn't this a waste of time?"

Anian didn’t understand. She didn’t hate Hao Ling Jiuyao, but she didn’t like her either. Therefore, she could only look at her as a stranger.

Ling Xi sighed: "Whether she appreciates it or not is her business, and whether I do it or not is my business. Besides, I have a feeling that she will need my help in the future."

Thinking of something else, Ling Xi instructed Ah Nian, "Ah Nian, select some people with high cultivation to secretly protect Xiao Yao. Don't let anyone hurt her. Make sure she is safe. Do it secretly and don't let anyone find out."

Hao Ling couldn't help her, and secretly saving her life was the only thing Ling Xi could do for Xiao Yao. Ah Nian couldn't help but be jealous of her sister's concern for Hao Ling Jiu Yao, but she also knew that it was not the same kind of feeling, so she could only compromise helplessly: "Okay, I'll get someone to do it right away, and I will never let anyone hurt her life."

Ling Xi pinched Ah Nian's chubby face and said, "Be good."

Xiaoyao's return ceremony came to an end just like that, and even though Xuanxuan was not happy about it, there was nothing he could do.

At the same time, the letter that King Hao Ling sent to King Xi Yan also received a reply.

Before that, King Hao Ling sent the news to Xiyan that the daughter of King Ji Xilingheng of Xiyan had been found, and then King Xiyan sent people to take her back.

At the same time, Wang Sunxuan had been held hostage in Haoling for nearly three hundred years, and this time King Xiyan also ordered that he be brought back.

Xiyan’s people came very quickly, so Xiaoyao and Xuan followed Xiyan’s people back.

As for what happens after they return, that is not Ling Xi's concern.

However, what we can expect is that their lives will definitely not be easy.

After Xuan and Xiaoyao left, Rushou, Tan Mang, Yiying, Xie Shuhui and others gathered in Xihe Hall. Even Qianxun, who had always been socially anxious, showed up.

Several people sat around a table, with various snacks and steaming scented tea on the table. The scene looked like a party rather than discussing plans.

Ling Xi was the first to speak: "Xuan has left, we need to prepare our plan."

Everyone: "Yes."

"Yiying, the Archery Battalion will continue training, and we can start practicing those formations now."

"Shuhui, you will lead the others to deal with the spies that Xuanxuan left in Wushen Mountain and Haoling King's Capital."

"Rushou, you and Tan Mang will be in charge of Hao Ling's army. All the things that Xuanxuan knew before must be replaced. Also, all the hidden secrets in the army must be dug out for me. As for the formations and weapons, let Qianxun be responsible for helping you."

"Anian, tell Yun Bo to pay more attention to Tushan's shop in Haoling territory to see if anyone is secretly sending messages to Xiyan. Also, give Chen Rong's army half more food and medicine. Don't let them suffer any loss."

Ling Xi gave instructions about the issues left over after Xuan left one by one, in a safe and orderly manner without any panic. It was obvious that the plan had been made long ago.

Yiying: "Yes, Your Highness, I obey your command."

Xie Shuhui: "I obey your command."

Ruoshou/Qianmang/Qianxun: "I obey your command."

Ah Nian: "Okay, sister."

Seeing how motivated they were, Ling Xi nodded with satisfaction.

Her good subordinates and good partners are really so capable.

"Then, Your Highness," Xie Shuhui smiled gently, her voice soft and tender, but with a firm tone, she asked, "Should we pay attention to what's happening in the Central Plains?"

The territory of Central Plains is now mainly controlled by the Chishui clan, which is one of the four major clans. If you get the support of the Chishui clan, Central Plains will be within your reach.

However, the Chishui clan is now a subordinate of Xiyan, and Xiao Yanxi is an important official of Xiyan. The Chishui clan’s position is unclear, and they don’t know who the Chishui clan is going to help.
