Chapter 369
A quarter of an hour later, after some bargaining, Yuan Xiang finally helped Guan Ning deliver the letter first.
To ensure safety and prevent it from being intercepted by the court and Zhao Tai's people, Yuan Xiang first delivered the letter to her relatives in the capital, and then forwarded it.
Since then, Guan Ning finally sent his first letter home.
There are more than one letter among them. Some are for Pei Nanyin, some are for Qin Yao, and some are for Ning Xiu, Yu Dilong and others. It can be said that there cannot be any mistakes.
The next day, early morning.
Guan Ning got up early as usual, but today he did not practice boxing. Instead, he found Li Zhibao.
"what!"
"Brother Guan, why are you here?"
"Hahaha, no wonder the magpie was calling so early in the morning." Li Zhibao seemed enthusiastic, especially after yesterday's competition in the ring. His admiration for Guan Ning was like a surging river.
Guan Ning smiled and said, "Brother Li, the weather is nice today. I want to go out for a walk. I wonder if I can invite you to come with me?"
"Of course you can!"
"It's my honor!" He said excitedly, but then quickly frowned: "But Brother Guan, the situation is too tense right now. What if the Zheng family has an ambush..."
"Isn't it a bad idea to go out now?"
Guan Ning smiled and said, "According to the time, they haven't arrived in Xingyang yet."
"Besides, your father said it's best not to leave Ling County, but he didn't say not to leave the palace."
Hearing this, Li Zhibao nodded: "That makes sense."
"In that case, Brother Guan, please wait a moment. I'll go make some arrangements and bring more people. We'll go out the back door to hide from others."
"Okay!" Guan Ning clasped his fists.
About half an hour later, there was no one at the back door of the palace.
"Brother Guan, you are finally here!"
"Let's go! I must take you to experience the customs and people of Ling County. You don't know that Ling County is a land of outstanding people and beautiful girls..."
As he spoke, his voice stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, and his gaze froze.
A figure emerged from behind Guan Ning. She had long, loose black hair, dark eyebrows like distant mountains, an oval face, and a lady from a wealthy family. She was also willful and capricious. Who else could it be but Yuan Xiang?
Li Zhibao seemed to be filled with fear in his bones. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily and he took three steps back tactically.
"This this……"
Guan Ning smiled bitterly: "Brother Li, don't be afraid."
"Miss Yuan won't do anything."
"She's coming with us this time."
"Ah?" Li Zhibao shouted. He didn't mention Yuan Xiang just now.
"No, Brother Ning, this won't work."
"Her illness hasn't healed yet. If my father knew I took her away, he would beat me to death."
"And what if she runs away?" He shook his head like a rattle and said he would never be with Yuan Xiang.
When Yuan Xiang saw that she was being treated as a plague god, her beautiful face turned dark.
"Li Zhibao, do you want to die?" As she said this, she clenched her fists again.
Li Zhibao was so scared that he wanted to run away.
Guan Ning immediately stood in the middle and glared at him, "What did you promise me?"
Yuan Xiang then stopped, snorted, and looked unhappy.
"Brother Li, don't worry, I'll watch her, she can't run away."
"Let's take her out for a walk. It will be good for her health. Let's come back early. The prince won't know. Even if he does, I'll cover it for him."
Li Zhibao was still in a dilemma and was afraid of Yuan Xiang, the tigress.
"cocoa……"
Guan Ning added: "As long as you promise, I will teach you swordsmanship when you come back."
"Didn't you say you wanted to learn last night?"
Hearing this, Li Zhibao's eyes lit up. If he could learn this, he could still walk sideways and impress his father.
"How is it?" Guan Ning coaxed.
Li Zhibao was not in a position to refuse, and with such a "temptation", he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
"But I agreed, I'm doing this for Brother Ning's sake. Miss Yuan, you can't..." As he said this, he glanced at Yuan Xiang with fear.
"I know, I know, you coward!" Yuan Xiang urged impatiently.
Although Li Zhibao was unhappy about being criticized, he did not dare to talk back. He always kept a distance from Yuan Xiang, separated by Guan Ning.
This was Guan Ning's first time strolling around Ling County. He was amazed by its prosperity and peace. He could hardly see beggars on the streets. Although the lower-class people were doing rough work, they had smiles of hard work on their faces and could basically fill their stomachs.
