morning thoughts

When the morning light first dawned, Ji Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Lichuan City illuminated by the light.

After rushing all the way, Ji Yu's former luxurious appearance has long since disappeared, but he has someone to protect him and has Ling Chao's badge. Except for some physical hardships, everything else is going well.

They stopped in front of the woods outside the city, Ji Yu turned his head and said to more than a hundred people behind him: "There must be a checkpoint in Lichuan City, let's wait here to meet them, and don't enter the city rashly."

Everyone settled down outside the city, waiting for Yinsheng to come to meet them.

About half an hour later, there was a brisk cry of horses, and Yin Sheng got off his horse and knelt at Ji Yu's feet, and said tremblingly: "My son, something happened to the prince and concubine, and even the other hidden guards were plotted against. The subordinates are useless and cannot save the prince and concubine."

He helped Yinsheng up and said, "Don't blame yourself, you have worked hard along the way."

Yin Sheng bowed his head and continued: "I'm afraid the son will have to wait a little longer, the eldest son is trying to find a way to get out of the city."

Ji Yu nodded and waited silently. At this moment, he should not be too anxious. It is true that Ji Xun agreed to meet, but whether an agreement can be reached is still unknown.

Taking advantage of his free time, Ji Yu cast his eyes on the people brought by Ling Chao. He first glanced at Commander Zhang, stayed on him for a while, and then moved his eyes to look at the six unknown people.

Naturally, he would not doubt the people of Ling Chao, but it was a bit strange to look at them, and he had to figure out the identity of the other party.

These six people didn't say much along the way, and they all wore masks. They didn't look like killers trained by the royal family. Some habits seemed to be running around. He knew a little about such people when he was in Lichuan.

Commander Zhang didn't know the origin of these six people, but he probably understood that the prince could not have some confidantes near him, but he looked at Prince Ji with some unkind eyes.

He also couldn't figure out what the relationship between His Highness the Third Highness and Shizi Ji was, but he secretly kept an eye on him and moved aside, thinking that if there was any conflict, he could help persuade him.

Ji Yu chose the one who looked more simple and honest among the six, stood up and took out a water bag from his backpack and handed it over, and asked casually, "Why haven't I seen you at the Third Highness before?"

The man took the water bag and was about to salute, but was stopped by Ji Yu, and hurriedly said: "It's normal that the prince has never seen me, we are all outsiders, the prince must have seen Yun'an."

As he said that, the man raised his chin towards the other side, signaling Yun An's direction.

Yunan: "..."

Ji Yu: "..."

Yun An felt embarrassed at the moment, bit the bullet and took off the mask, walked in front of Ji Yu, and called out with a smile, "Your Majesty."

The more casual Ji Yu looked at him, the more uncertain Yun An felt.

Yunan didn't want to hide this matter from Ji Yu, but he didn't find an opportunity to reveal his identity. He thought that he would be fine after returning to Huajing after getting through it, but who would have thought that he would be sold out by such a brainless person.

Yun An turned his heart away and sold Ling Chao out, "Don't blame the prince, His Highness didn't let us reveal our identities. If the prince didn't find out, the slave would have to pretend not to be familiar with the prince."

Yun An exhaled a long breath pretending to be relaxed, and grinned, "The servant and the prince are old acquaintances. Fu Hai didn't serve the prince by his side, so the servant is willing to stand on the saddle for the prince."

Ji Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, stretched out his hand at him, pinched the back of his neck, and asked, "Old acquaintance? Okay, for the sake of your highness, I won't make things difficult for you, just tell the truth clearly." .”

Yun An shrank his neck and said in his heart, "Your Highness, I'm sorry for you."

After Yun An explained the matter to the bottom, Ji Xun also arrived.

As soon as Ji Xun came, he saw Ji Yu's gloomy face, and he didn't know what was going on. Although the two of them were brothers, they were not close. When Ji Yu was young, Ji Yu was high-spirited. As an older brother, Ji Xun was at a disadvantage in every way. Not reconciled.

When Ji Yu grew up, he fell into the valley, and Ji Xun didn't look at him any more, but most of the time they didn't meet each other. Ji Xun and King Annan stayed in the camp all day, and the time spent with Ji Yu was not as good as Ji Jingyang many.

The place where they met was a forest with overgrown weeds and Ji Yu looked like a deserter from somewhere, Ji Xun felt inexplicably arrogant when he saw this.

The two confronted each other like this. In the end, Ji Xun looked away unnaturally, put his fist on his mouth and coughed twice.

"It's been a hard journey, isn't it?" Ji Xun asked.

Ji Xun had nothing to say, in order to break the embarrassment, Ji Yu naturally spread his hands to signal Ji Xun to give him a hand, and said, "It's okay, it's just too late to have the help of the third Highness."

Ji Xun looked at his hands, hesitated for a moment and then pulled him up.

"Tell your people to change into regular clothes. I will find a way to bring you into the city. This is not a place to talk." Ji Xun took two big bags from the guards and threw them in front of everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his wrist tighten.

"What?" Ji Xun frowned.

"How are father and mother now?" Ji Yu let go of his hands and asked bluntly, "How did you get rid of Ji Jingyang?"

King Annan's army in Lichuan is divided into several branches. The Lichuan Army is just what outsiders call them. The military power has always been in the hands of King Annan.

It is true that many things cannot be avoided by Ji Jingyang, but Ji Xun has led troops for many years, and his subordinates are naturally more convinced and obey him.

Although there have long been rumors in the army that Ji Jingyang imprisoned King Annan, but the old subordinates of King Annan asked Ji Jingyang for an explanation but were suppressed. Ji Jingyang did it smoothly and successfully made everyone shut up Mouth.

Even though he understood that Ji Yu's suspicion of him was reasonable, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed on his face. After shaking off Ji Yu's hand, he asked sharply, "You doubt me?"

It was sunny at noon, and the air was hot and dry.

Ji Yu swallowed against the sweltering heat, and suddenly felt that Lichuan, a place with no seasons, made him bored.

"Why help me?" Ji Yu raised his eyes, his eyes were clean and pure, "I should know what you want so that I can feel at ease."

Ji Yu's words suddenly plunged Ji Xun into memories, and those unbearable memories from the past popped out of his mind, and now when he thinks about it again, he still feels the same as before, as if he was stripped naked and watched by crowds, and he came out to rescue Your person is the person you hate the most, the person you least want to see.

After a long while, he tensed up and said, "I didn't expect you to ask me this question after so many years."

The author has something to say:

Who would have thought that after a good night's sleep, they would wake up with a stiff neck the next day!

The author tilted his neck and typed out these two thousand words enduring the pain, and please don't dislike shortness.

Finally, thanks for watching.
