She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

Chapter 134 Borrowing the Husband, Rewarding Meaning

Nagya's expression also changed, "Brother, we can't let Sainwan go."

Is it related to yourself?

Li Jingwan was puzzled, "Princess, what did he say?"

Nagya asked the guard to leave first, and then said, "Yeqilu said he wanted to reward you, and sent someone to take you to his camp."

To reward her? Li Jingwan had a feeling that this was not a good thing.

Qin Zhongxiao added, "Your Highness, don't let Sai Enwan go. Ye Qilu didn't achieve his goal today, so he might take out his anger on her."

Wu Shilie no longer had the excitement of slapping Ye Qilu in the face, and said hesitantly, "He is indeed a bastard, but he is the prince, and he sent people..."

With just this one sentence, Li Jingwan understood that Wu Shilie would not help her.

She just helped Wu Shilie win a game and was not his person. Why would he disobey Yeqilu for her?

Even though he cursed in private, Wu Shilie would not be swayed by his emotions, otherwise he would have come into conflict with Yeqilu long ago.

Qin Chongxiao has followed him for almost a year, so he understands Wu Shilie's thoughts. He only hates that his ability is too weak to protect Li Jingwan.

“Your Highness, please allow me to accompany Sai Enwan.”

"Okay, you go with her." Wu Shilie agreed immediately.

"Brother, I'll go too." Nagya said immediately.

"No, what are you going to do there?" Wu Shilie refused, and said sternly, "Don't forget your identity."

In the end, Li Jingwan and Qin Chongxiao followed the people sent by Ye Qilu to his camp.

Although the two had the opportunity to be alone, Li Jingwan claimed to be deaf-mute, so there was no communication along the way.

Yeqilu's camp was not far from Wushilie's. Since he was only there to discuss matters with the tribal leader, the camp was temporary and not very big.

When they arrived at the camp gate, Qin Chongxiao was stopped and the guards said that only Li Jingwan could enter.

Qin Chongxiao patted her shoulder, signaling her not to worry and that he would wait for her here.

Li Jingwan nodded and followed the guards into the camp, walking with her head down, looking cautious and nervous.

As she was walking, she suddenly bumped into someone, took a few steps back, and then heard a sentence from Sheng Chao.

"Don't you have eyes when you walk?"

Li Jingwan raised her head. The man who was speaking was wearing a veil. The black veil around his hat was lifted up by the collision, revealing the right side of his face.

At this glimpse, all you can see is that he has a goatee and a scar under his right eye.

Li Jingwan kept nodding to express her apology.

The guard leading her said something in Xirong dialect, and the man wearing a veil snorted, "Not only is he dumb, he's also blind."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Li Jingwan thought that he couldn't see the road clearly because he was wearing the veil.

The guard led her to a gorgeous tent guarded by soldiers and asked her to wait.

To Li Jingwan's surprise, Ye Qilu did not show up.

After standing there for a while, a maid came up to her with a tray containing a small box.

The maid pointed at her and then at the box.

Li Jingwan then picked up the box and opened it. Inside was a round golden-green gem.

It's a cat's eye stone.

Cat's eye is very valuable and can change color depending on the intensity of light.

There used to be one in the general's mansion. She loved playing with it when she was a child, and later she used it as her dowry when she got married.

The cat's eye stone in the box was much larger than the ones she had played with before. It was extremely regular in shape and very valuable. It was probably enough to buy a house in the capital.

Li Jingwan pretended not to know how valuable the gem was. After taking a look at it, she thanked the maid and bowed towards the tent in front.

The maid then closed the box and placed the wooden box in her hands.

Then, the guard who had brought her in appeared and led her out again.

Qin Chongxiao kept staring at the camp gate and felt relieved when he saw Li Jingwan coming out safely.

Only after they got on the carriage did Qin Zhongxiao ask in a low voice, "What's the situation?"

Li Jingwan knew that he didn't want the soldier driving the car to hear, so she lowered her voice and said, "I didn't see Ye Qilu, and he only gave me this."

She said as she took out the wooden box and handed it to him.

Qin Chongxiao opened it and saw the cat's eye stone in the box. He frowned and paused.

"If Nagya asks you what you were given, tell her you were given a ruby."

"Why?" Li Jingwan was puzzled.

"The less trouble, the better."

The answer was too vague. Li Jingwan didn't understand and wanted to ask again, but Qin Chongxiao pointed outside the car and signaled her not to say any more.

Although they now had a chance to be alone, it was not a good time to talk.

After all, Wu Shilie's guards were following them, and no one knew whether they could speak the words of the Sheng Dynasty.

It's better to be cautious.

When we returned to Wushilie's camp, it was already dark.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard bursts of noise and music coming from inside. It was very lively.

Nagya was waiting at the camp gate, naturally waiting for Qin Chongxiao.

"Wudi, what took you so long?" Nagya went to meet him, "Yeqilu didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"What is my brother afraid of? Even if he is the prince, so what?" She was still indignant. "Next time, no matter what he says, I will go with you."

Qin Zhongxiao was already adept at responding to her enthusiasm, "Thank you for your concern, Princess."

After talking to Qin Chongxiao for a while, Nagya finally paid some attention to Li Jingwan.

"Sainwan, what did Yeqilu reward you with?"

"Princess, it's a ruby." Li Jingwan answered according to Qin Zhongxiao's instructions, "It's very beautiful."

Nagya showed disdain on her face, "It is indeed a bastard born of a slave, and you have the nerve to reward him with such a thing. If you like it, I will give you a box."

She had no interest in looking at the gems, and pulled Qin Zhongxiao inside, "Wu Di, hurry up, the banquet has already begun."

Bonfires of varying sizes had been lit in the camp. Some people were sitting around barbecuing and drinking, while others were dancing, looking very happy.

As soon as he sat down, Qin Chongxiao was called over by Wu Shilie to discuss something, which made Nagya very dissatisfied.

"Wu Di just came back, can't my brother let him rest for a while?"

Li Jingwan stretched out her hands and moved closer to the fire to get warmth. She saw Nagya still looking in the direction Qin Chongxiao left, and couldn't help but want to say a few more words.

"Princess, have you always liked the Landless Military Advisor?"

"What are you talking about?!" Nagya turned around, the firelight shining on her angry face, "Of course I have always liked her."

"I first met Wu Di half a year ago. Although he was wearing a mask, I decided to marry him at the first sight of him." Nagya was quite intoxicated when thinking of the past.

What Li Jingwan was thinking about was that Qin Chongxiao was pushed off the cliff by Qin Changzhou more than three years ago, and only came to Wu Shilie half a year ago. Where was he in the previous two years?

"Sainwan, do you like your husband?" Nagya reached out and poked her.

Of course I don’t like him. I wish I could kill him with my own hands.

However, considering the time, Qin Changzhou had already been executed, so his wish could be fulfilled.

But she had said her husband was worried about him, so she could only say, "Yeah."

"What do you like about him?" Nagya showed interest. "What does he look like? Is he good-looking?"

Li Jingwan really couldn't say anything good about Qin Changzhou, and she felt sick when she thought of him.

"Tell me." Nagya poked her again, "You said he looked for you everywhere after you disappeared, so he must be good to you."

Chu Tingyu's face suddenly appeared in Li Jingwan's mind.

Now, besides Xiang Mingfang and the others, Chu Tingyu must also be looking for me.

Just borrow Prince Jing's help, he doesn't know anyway.

"He has a handsome appearance, doesn't talk much and is very low-key. Although he looks cold, he has a broad mind."

The country, the people and their well-being are in my heart.

"So where did you first meet?" Nagya asked again, "Tell me more, don't just say a few words."

"In the training grounds, we were all shooting arrows at the time."

It wasn't their first meeting, but she remembered it well.

“There was an eagle that attacked my sister and he and I shot the eagle together.”

The firelight twinkled in Nagya's eyes like stars, and she said excitedly, "Sainwan, you two are a perfect match."

"Ah?" Li Jingwan was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"In our Xirong legend, if a man and a woman shoot the same prey, it is the fate bestowed by God. They will never be separated in this life."

She said with regret, "I have always wanted Wu Di to go hunting with me, but unfortunately he has never been willing to go."

Li Jingwan smiled and said, "That is a legend of Xirong. I have never heard of it in Sheng Dynasty."

"But you married him, which proves that the legend is true. You two are destined to be together."

Li Jingwan was speechless for a moment. After all, Chu Tingyu was now her borrowed husband.

At this time, Wu Shilie brought Qin Chongxiao and others to join the crowd's joy. Nagya's attention immediately shifted to Qin Chongxiao, and she happily went up to him.

Li Jingwan declined her invitation and sat quietly by the campfire, but her heart was not infected by the joy around her at all.

Three days had passed since she was kidnapped.

If Bai Yiyi had returned to Tacheng safely and conveyed the message to Xiang Mingfang, Li Dingzheng should have been taken back.

And Chu Tingyu should be trying to find me.

She had to go back as soon as possible.

Li Jingwan looked around again. Although there were many people attending the banquet, there were still soldiers on duty.

Moreover, she was totally unfamiliar with the place, so it was impossible for her to sneak away.

The banquet lasted until midnight.

Nagya drank too much, so Wushilie arranged for her to stay in the camp.

Because Li Jingwan made a contribution to winning the competition, Wu Shilie specially arranged a tent for her to rest.

The campfire gradually died down, the crowd dispersed, and the camp returned to silence.

Li Jingwan was just beginning to feel sleepy on the couch when she suddenly felt rocks hitting the tent several times in a row, obviously intentional.

She sat up in shock and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

"Miss Li, come out quickly." It was Qin Chongxiao's voice, "Don't make any noise."

Li Jingwan then put on her shoes and walked out quietly without even having time to put on a mask.

Qin Chongxiao walked out from the darkness, grabbed her arm and walked forward, "Follow me."

He was very familiar with the camp. He made many detours, dodged the patrolling soldiers, and walked out of the camp from a secluded corner with Li Jingwan.

Qin Chongxiao pointed ahead and said, "Miss Li, go four miles ahead. There is a horse parked there."

"You ride south and hire a carriage to leave the city before you get out of Reduo." Qin Chongxiao took out a purse from his arms and handed it to her.

"There are banknotes in it for your use on the road. Go quickly, no one is paying attention now."

"Brother Qin, what about you?" Li Jingwan grabbed her purse tightly. "What will you do if I leave?"

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with it."

"But..." Li Jingwan was still worried, "How about I ask Nagya to resign after daybreak. She said she would send me back."

If he leaves now, it would mean that Qin Chongxiao quietly lets go a person whom he does not know at all, which would easily arouse suspicion.

If Wu Shilie really pursues the matter, it will be bad for Qin Chongxiao.

"No, you must leave now." Qin Zhongxiao said firmly, "You can't stay any longer."

Judging from his tone, it seemed like there was something urgent.

"Brother Qin, what happened?"

"The cat's eye stone that Yeqilu gave you." Qin Chongxiao suppressed his anger in his voice.

"I've heard rumors that if he takes a fancy to a woman, he will give her a cat's eye stone and will definitely get her within three days."

Li Jingwan immediately understood. No wonder his face changed when he saw the cat's eye in the carriage.

"Wu Shilie can't protect you, and he won't argue with you and Ye Qilu." This is what Qin Zhongxiao was worried about. "You must leave before Ye Qilu sends someone to find Wu Shilie."

"Okay." Li Jingwan no longer refused and even had cold sweat on her back.

Fortunately, Yeqilu did not arrest her directly yesterday.

Being noticed by a man like Yeqilu is even more terrifying than being punished by him.

"Brother Qin, come with me." Li Jingwan suggested, "Let's go back to Tacheng together. General Lu and Prince Jing are both in Tacheng."

"No." Qin Chongxiao shook his head, "I won't leave."

"Why?" Li Jingwan was puzzled. "It's too dangerous for you to stay here."

"I am already dead. There is no Qin Chongxiao in the world anymore." Qin Chongxiao sighed softly, "Now there is only Wu Di who follows Wu Shilie."

"Brother Qin, I know you have always been loyal to Sheng Chao." Li Jingwan advised him, "After you go back, you can still work for Sheng Chao."

“But it’s more valuable for me to be here.”

"Brother Qin..." Li Jingwan had just finished speaking when she saw torches approaching not far away, and hurriedly pulled Qin Chongxiao to the side.

It was not until two patrolling soldiers walked by while talking that she whispered again, "Come with me."

In the darkness, Qin Chongxiao slowly shook his head.

"Miss Li, I can't leave."

"Although Ding Zheng and I luckily survived that battle, many more brothers died. I must avenge them."

"But you can go back..."

"No." Qin Chongxiao interrupted her. Although his voice was light, it sounded louder than summer thunder in Li Jingwan's ears.

"I suspect there is a spy inside the Sheng Dynasty, which led to the disastrous defeat. I must find that person."

Li Jingwan's eyes widened.

After the defeat more than three years ago, the emperor was furious and punished many people from top to bottom, but he never heard of any spies causing trouble.

If that's the case...

A thought flashed through Li Jingwan's mind.

In the previous life, was Chu Tingyu’s sudden disappearance also related to the spy?
