Chapter 4: The Sound of the Flute
Yu Mingzhi bit his lip and turned his head away.
If Ji Qin said this, she would be happy without hesitation.
But facing Qin Ji, it was obviously the same person, but the mood was different.
Qin Ji could guess Yu Mingzhi's thoughts, and he didn't force her to say anything, just sit quietly together.
But there is one more thing that needs to be explained, "I'm sorry, I couldn't save my father-in-law." But before setting off to save you, I personally went to the mass grave to retrieve the bones of my father-in-law, and chose a feng shui treasure place to bury you. ”
Yu Mingzhi's body trembled, his father had passed away for two months, their mother and daughter were crying with red eyes, and they had hoped that this change was a nightmare night after night, and when they woke up that day, the family of four was still happily together.
But day after day of dawn, when I opened my eyes, there were still dirty brick walls, rampant rats, and the sweet dream was completely shattered the moment I woke up.
Now, the whole family is out of danger, but my father has buried his bones.
The departed will never come back, but will always be in the mind of those who love him.
Yu Mingzhi finally couldn't help it, covered his face, and let the tears well.
Qin Ji looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and finally endured it, did not step forward to hug his sweetheart, and only handed over a clean handkerchief.
Yu Mingzhi took the handkerchief, but held back his tears and slowly dried his face, "Thank you...... I will work with you to find out the truth and avenge my father!"
"Good. Qin Ji looked at her, no matter what the reason was for her to stay, as long as she could be with him, she would be satisfied.
After all...... It's a long time coming.
There was no sound in the carriage again, and the two of them were at ease. By nightfall, the carriage drove into a small county town, and Qin Ji's men had already searched an inn and selected the best room. Qin Ji put a hat on Yu Mingzhi, so that he didn't get out of the car slowly.
The shopkeeper came out to greet him attentively, Qin Ji glanced at the smiling face, looked back at Yu Mingzhi who was standing on the wheel, and stretched out his hand with a smile.
Yu Mingzhi was reluctant to touch Qin Ji again, but he heard a whisper, "You and I are disguised as husband and wife, how can we be so unfamiliar?"
"......" Yu Mingzhi shook his sleeves and covered his scarred hand, which was on Qin Ji's palm.
Qin Ji smiled and walked into the inn side by side with Yu Mingzhi.
At this time, there were not many people in the inn, scattered in the hall for dinner, and the new group of guests did not even raise their eyelids when they entered the door.
Qin Ji came out this time and kept a low profile all the way, so although he brought many guards, most of them were secretly protected and did not show up in front of unrelated people. At this moment, the two of them were like a couple who came out with their servants to visit relatives and play, Shi Shiran walked through the hall, walked up the stairs, and entered the guest room.
As soon as the door closed, Yu Mingzhi immediately shook off Qin Ji's hand.
Qin Ji's expression was gentle, "Zhizhi should rest early after eating, and go to the capital early to be safe." ”
Yu Mingzhi has worked hard all the way, barely supporting to this day, coupled with worry and sadness, her body and mind have long been exhausted, and now she has delicious meals and a soft bed, she can't help but show a relaxed look.
It's just that...... Seeing Qin Ji in the room, she asked, "You're not leaving?"
"How can there be a reason for husband and wife to sleep in separate rooms?" Seeing Yu Mingzhi's unhappy expression, Qin Ji hurriedly changed his words: "We are together, the guards are guarded in one place to protect, if someone assassinates, we have a better chance of winning." You sleep on the bed, I sleep on the couch outside, and I will never break the rules."
"Good. Yu Mingzhi glanced at the door of the inner room and believed him.
"Let's eat. Qin Ji moved the stool and invited Yu Mingzhi to take a seat, "I don't know your taste, so I chose the best dish in the store, do you like it?"
"It's ok. Yu Mingzhi lowered his eyes and concentrated on eating.
Qin Ji saw that she was eating deliciously, and relaxed slightly.
After eating, bathing and falling asleep, Yu Mingzhi lay on the soft bed, and his whole body muscles and bones, which had been sore, were finally much more comfortable at this moment. She looked at the top of the white gauze tent, remembering whether her mother and sister were well, although she was very tired, and she couldn't sleep comfortably for a while, and couldn't help but sigh long.
At this time, out of nowhere, there was a melodious and light flute sound, like the bright moon and clear spring, which made people feel at ease. She propped up her upper body, listened carefully for a while, and realized that the sound of the flute was coming from outside.
I don't know what to say, it's not good to stop it, and it doesn't seem good to let it play, Yu Mingzhi fell asleep unconsciously when he was entangled.
Early the next morning, Qin Ji came to knock on the door, and Yu Mingzhi woke up from his sleep.
I don't know how long the flute sounded last night, but for the first time in months she had a good night's sleep with the sound of the flute, and she woke up refreshed.
Thinking of Qin Ji's thoughts, recalling the former Ji Qin, Yu Mingzhi sighed, and went to open the door after getting dressed.
"Did you sleep well?" Qin Ji asked, pointing to the white porridge and side dishes on the table, "The hot water is ready, freshen up and have breakfast." ”
Yu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you...... Thank you for the flute last night. ”
"What?...... Qin Ji lifted the jade flute hanging from his waist, "It's just my hobby." ”
Yu Mingzhi was a little embarrassed, went to the basin to comb up, her long hair was pulled up casually, Qin Ji walked behind her at this time, took out a plum branch bird hairpin from her sleeve, and inserted it into her bun while she was unprepared.
"You ......" Yu Mingzhi was frightened, and was about to reach out to pull it out, but was held by Qin Ji.
"This has a jar of ointment that not only heals wounds, but also smooths scars, leaving your hands as smooth and delicate as ever. ”
Looking at the medicine jar placed on the dressing table, Yu Mingzhi raised his eyes to look at the person in the mirror, and was about to speak, but was snatched away by Qin Ji again, "We are already an unmarried couple, so we don't need to say thank you." Zhizhi, I'll help you apply the medicine. ”
"No!" Yu Mingzhi grabbed the medicine jar and carefully smeared it.
The green ointment is cool and refreshing, with a faint fragrance of acacia flowers.
Qin Ji didn't go away, just sat aside and accompanied.
Yu Mingzhi raised his head coldly, and saw Qin Ji's focused gaze. She moved back a bit, "You want an ointment?"
Qin Ji said: "It can indeed be eaten." ”
"......" Yu Mingzhi was speechless, stuffed the medicine jar, and began to eat breakfast.
After eating, we set off on our way. No matter how fast the horse returns to the capital, it will take half a month, Qin Ji has made a lot of enemies, leaving Gyeonggi is like a sheep thrown into the wolf pen, and many people are staring at him and want him to die in another country. Qin Ji needed to be careful about planning everywhere, so he didn't have much thought to talk to Yu Mingzhi for a while.
Yu Mingzhi concentrated on his plans after returning to the capital.
The evidence found last time was taken away by the Zuo Scattered Cavalry Chang Attendant, and now I think that these people have filled the hole to prevent future troubles.
So where else can I find evidence that Li Wangshan framed his father?
"It doesn't have to be found that the evidence. Qin Ji suddenly turned his head and stared into her eyes.
Yu Mingzhi suddenly realized that he had said what he was thinking, and coughed lightly, "Then what do you say?"
Qin Ji said: "If you catch his other tricks first, and put them in prison together with his henchmen, why don't you worry that they won't reveal the truth of the matter under torture?" He spoke, smiling, and looked very gentle, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary matter, but it was about the lives of many people.
is worthy of being a traitor, Yu Mingzhi thought so.
But against those beasts...... She loves it!
