General Ling sat quietly before Xiaoling, visibly uncomfortable sharing the carriage. They had to move, so he took the measures. Otherwise, he would have excused himself to talk outside. Weisheng didn't seem to care either.
"I'll get straight to the point," Xiaoling said, "I think you're a sensible person and would understand."
General Ling kept his gaze low and only nodded.
"I need you to help me escape," Xiaoling took her chances. He immediately raised his head to look at her with widened eyes, "Hear me out," She quickly said, "You just have to give me information. I'll escape on my own."
General Ling narrowed his eyes in concern, slowly exhaling, "My Lady, there is no place in the three realms and seven continents where the Second Lord can't reach."
Xiaoling shook her head, "Don't try to scare me. It won't make me stay. If you won't help me, I'll escape on my own."
