The housekeeper's daughter-in-law put away the jade pendant, and glanced at it with drooping eyelids, and the jade pendant was engraved with a dragon and phoenix pattern, and it was a royal thing without thinking about it.

It's no wonder that Cao Rui didn't know that as early as when Lin Yuan was eight years old, Ji Zongyu gave her this jade pendant.

After taking the token, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law did not stay any longer, and after perfunctorily answering Lin Yuan's intention to ask a doctor for Ji Zongyu, she took the food box and withdrew.

The door was closed again, and Wang Qing, who was lying on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief and lifted the thin quilt that covered half of his face.

Lin Yuan and Qiao Yihuan also sat down with some prostration.

Although the previous daughter-in-law was there, the two of them were relaxed on the surface, but the string in their hearts was always tight.

"Looks like they're not suspicious." Lin Yuan said with relief.

Wang Qing frowned slightly, his heart full of fear.

He and Ji Zongyu are just the same body shape, if someone gets close and takes a closer look, they will definitely see through it at a glance.

Fortunately, it was late at night and no one was noticed.

It's just that the person who brought food into the house just now, he was really nervous and broke out in a cold sweat.

"It's only a matter of time before something goes wrong." Qiao Yihuan said a little meanly.

Lin Yuan didn't speak again, only lowered her eyebrows, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qiao Yihuan saw Lin Yuan's silence, and couldn't help but be silent.

But she couldn't agree with Lin Yuan's risky behavior, from getting off the boat alone at the beginning, to getting rid of the Cao family's tracking in the bazaar, to Ji Zongyu's "waking up" later, and finally Lin Yuan after Ji Zongyu left. suddenly proposed to take someone to pretend to be Ji Zongyu back to Cao's house, she couldn't believe it, this was not Lin Yuan's plan from the beginning, wouldn't such a plan disregard her own safety, just to fulfill Ji Zongyu's great cause?

Wang Qing knew that Lin Yuan was only afraid that he was more nervous than them, and Lin Yuan's situation was more dangerous than theirs, but it was precisely because Lin Yuan was there that the Cao family was not so quick to become suspicious, otherwise it would be any one of them, even Shi Quan Shimei, who had followed him since childhood. With Ji Zongyu in disguise. I'm afraid that if I just enter the door, it will be demolished.

"Okay, I'm really hungry, let's eat first." Wang Qing pretended to be relaxed, and his nose moved as he spoke. Exaggeration. "Don't say it. It's really fragrant. ”

Lin Yuan smiled, accepted Wang Qing's kindness, and stepped forward to take the bowl. Scooped up the rice porridge.

……

The night was dark, and in the big tent, Ji Zongyu and the three of them finally agreed on things one by one.

Under the urging of Ji Zongyu, Concubine Jiang went back to rest first.

The door curtain fell, and the relaxed look on Ji Zongyu's face couldn't hold back.

"Grandpa......" he hurriedly called to Jiang Xingping.

Jiang Xingping waved his hand, "I know what you have to say, but this thing is not easy to do, if you don't do it well, you will lose everything, and the situation of the girl will only be more dangerous, so even if you want to save it, you can only wait for the dust to settle." ”

"But at that time, I'm afraid it's too late!" Ji Zongyu's face was anxious, "Regardless of the success of our plan, once the Cao family finds out that something is wrong, they will definitely be suspicious of Yuanyuan, and then Yuanyuan's situation will ......" The rest of the words, he couldn't go on, even if he mentioned that situation, he felt so heartbroken that he couldn't speak.

Jiang Xingping sighed, he understands, Ji Zongyu must also understand, besides, at the moment of the great cause, he should put aside the personal affairs of his children, Ji Zongyu wants to fight for the high dragon chair, how can he be tripped by a little girl?

"You better think about the things after tomorrow, Ji Zongya is cruel and violent by nature, even if the soldiers come to the city to force him to give way, I am afraid he will not succeed, at that time, whether to kill or stay, and it depends on your own mind." Jiang Xingping said tentatively and half warned, "In addition, even if Niangniang has the edict of the first emperor in her hand, but the hundred officials in the court and the central government will be convinced, you must also consider carefully how to subdue the hundred officials, you must know that this dragon chair is far more difficult to fight than you imagined!" ”

"But I can't sacrifice Yuanyuan, even if I exchange this country for her, I am willing!" Ji Zongyu shouted loudly.

Obviously, he understood what Jiang Xingping meant.

But he couldn't!

What is the point of giving up his Lin Xiaosi to fight for this country?

He never wanted this country!

What he wants is freedom, unrestrained, and no need to worry about it all day long and be suppressed everywhere!

What he wants is for his Lin Xiaosi, a peace!

However, Jiang Xingping was stunned, he didn't expect Ji Zongyu, who he had carefully taught for many years, to have such a mind!

Did they persuade Ji Zongyu to endure it for too long, and made Ji Zongyu lose his ambition?

But it was only a moment, and Jiang Xingping's gaze was in vain.

"Now you're not qualified to say that!" He said in a deep voice, his tone was flat, but his eyes were full of wind and thunder, "If this is the case, what is the point of Yuan Yatou's sacrifice?" Even a little woman of hers understands that you are such a bastard! ”

If it weren't for Ji Zongyu's words, Jiang Xingping would have been shocked, and he would not have scolded.

But Ji Zongyu's eyes flickered, but he didn't feel guilty.

"That's what I said earlier, and I've always done that." Ji Zongyu said firmly, "I don't want to be depressed all my life, and I don't want to affect my mother, wife and children, so I want to fight, fight for heaven and earth, and fight for freedom, but if I can't even save my wife, why am I fighting for this dragon chair?" ”

"Grandpa, you always say that I am reckless and impulsive, I am indeed such a temperament, I can't hold back. I must save Yuanyuan, even if the Cao family finds out halfway, I will save it. ”

Ji Zongyu is determined to take the risk to rescue Lin Yuan, just like Lin Yuan is determined to go to the Cao family to fight for Ji Zongyu an opportunity.

Jiang Xingping was angry, but also moved by the affection of the two.

How could he not be the same with Lin Baozhu, the young lady of the Lin family?

"Forget it, I can't help you, if you insist on this, then you can only do it." Jiang Xingping reluctantly compromised, "But the day after tomorrow we have to see the situation before moving, then the palace will be chaotic, and it should not be difficult to send more people to take the opportunity to rescue the Yuan girl from the Cao family, I am afraid that Cao Rui will be cautious and take the Yuan girl with him, it will be difficult." ”

Ji Zongyu saw that Jiang Xingping no longer objected, and his face was a little lighter, "This is natural, otherwise it will not be good, but it will harm Yuanyuan and them, I plan to hand over this matter to Shi Quan Shimei, so I will bring the people in my house, most of them are natives in the capital, and they will be familiar with the way when they escape." ”

Jiang Xingping saw that he had even thought about this, and suddenly lost his temper.

"Okay, you can do what you say."

As he was talking, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Old general, the people of the Cao family are here."

Jiang Xingping and Ji Zongyu were both stunned, and then glanced at each other.

Ji Zongyu glanced at Shi Quan on the side, and the two of them quickly hid behind the screen in the big tent.

Jiang Xing calmed his expression and raised his voice, "Let people come in." ”

The door curtain was lifted, Jiang Xingping looked at the person clearly, and couldn't help but breathe. (To be continued.) )
