369: It's a hard life

"......" Fang Xinyuan was silent for a moment, and then frowned: "What should I do?" How do I know what to do......"

"That ......" Ah Fu wanted to cry without tears, in front of his own young master, he was afraid that this was the expression he did the most.

What do you know what to do?

Didn't you 'buy' this person back!

"......" Ah Ju's face was inexplicably nervous, for fear that Fang Xinyuan would make some impulsive decision.

"It's a nuisance."

Seeing that except for Jin Qi, everyone looked at him in unison, waiting for him to come up with an idea, Fang Xinyuan said helplessly and impatiently: "I'm living in the barracks now, and I don't even have a place to live, where can I place such a big living person?" Besides, it's still a girl's house...... It's so inconvenient—"

"Then you didn't think about this problem before you saved people?" Although Jiang Ying felt that his words were reasonable, she couldn't help but ask.

This person is inevitably too unreliable, right?

"I ...... At that time, the situation was urgent, where did I have time to think so much? ”

Ah Fu secretly made a disapproving expression when he heard this.

What kind of saving people, obviously I want to show off in front of Miss Jiang Er...... Doesn't he know the character of his young master?

But now it's a big loss.

Not only did he fail to show anything, but he took two hundred taels of silver to buy a trouble that could not be placed......

"I'm also in a hurry to save people, aren't I?" Seeing that several people threw suspicious glances at him, Fang Xinyuan immediately said! "It's better to do this, Jiang Er. You bring people back and take care of—"

“…… I? Jiang Ying couldn't react at once, and pointed her finger at herself.

Why did the problem fall on her all at once?

"The barracks are full of men, and there is no way to place them! You're a woman, and it's easy to take pictures! ”

Feed...... What do you mean by good or bad?

The fact that she is a woman, is it really so reluctant!

Jiang Ying glanced at him dissatisfied, and said, "I can't stay here for long, I can help take care of it for a day or two, but what will I do in the future?" ”

Can't always ...... You've always had it by your side, right?

"In the future......" Fang Xinyuan was also a little undecided, but seeing that the man who came to look for him looked anxious, he couldn't wait any longer. Then he hurriedly said: "Sell it and throw it away." See for yourself! ”

After that, he hurriedly urged Ah Fu, "Let's go, give them ......"

Ah Fu cast a very embarrassed look at Jiang Ying, but he didn't wait to see Jiang Ying's response. I suddenly felt a lightness on my shoulders.

Turn your head and look again. The person who was on his shoulder is gone.

"Leave the red lion to me!"

Ah Ju swears. looked at the red lion who was almost all on his body, and his expression was struggling but firm.

"That's it!"

Taking advantage of Jiang Ying's stunned, Fang Xinyuan was very happy to finalize it. coping with the authentic sentence "See you in the future, take care of yourself", and hurriedly disappeared into the night with Ah Fu and the man in military uniform.

Seeing this in a hurry, she separated in a blink of an eye, looking at the dark street in front of her, Jiang Ying even felt as if she had never seen Fang Xinyuan at all tonight......

The "Red Lion" that can be pressed on Ah Ju is a powerful evidence that Fang Xinyuan really appeared.

Is this the one who made the trip to trouble her?

“……”

Jiang Ying looked worriedly at the "red lion" who didn't know life and death, and was filled with an indescribable fishy smell.

She still didn't understand why she came out for a walk with her sweetheart, and she was so troublesome.

"Girl......" Seeing that Jiang Ying's face was not very good, Ah Ju asked cautiously in hindsight: "Did I do something wrong?" ”

To be honest, her actions were indeed impulsive.

Now that I'm calming down, I realize what's wrong.

It's a person, not an object that can fit in a box, and it's a ...... Very dangerous people.

It is indeed inconvenient to place.

And these long-term issues aside, the most realistic problem at the moment has been looming - she is about to lose her grip......

"It's not your fault." Jiang Ying shook her head, her eyes thoughtful.

She said that she didn't blame Ah Ju not to say that Ah Ju did the right thing, but that even if Ah Ju didn't take the initiative to accept it, she would.

Although she doesn't have much compassion and compassion for others, if Fang Xinyuan didn't care about saving her at that time, she would have left, it was nothing more than a little uncomfortable in her heart, but since she had been saved, there was no reason to leave people behind halfway.

Although her three views are very legitimate, it does not mean that she has come up with a good way to solve it......

"Brother Jin......"

Jiang Ying looked at Jin Qi with an embarrassed expression, looking extremely unassertive in front of him.

Or rather, too lazy to ask for any more opinions......

Jin Qi is not there, but since he is here, he must make full use of resources.

The most important thing is Dan Fanjin's idea, most of which she agrees with unconditionally and unprincipledly, and she doesn't need to think too much.

Jin Qi didn't speak, only looked at her with an expression of "you think of me now".

Jiang Ying's eyes were shining, and her face was full of innocence.

In the faint moonlight, the man's slightly lowered face was half immersed in the dimness of the lamplight, and the other side was submerged in the thick night, and the outline was a little unclear, except for the eyebrows and eyes.

Suddenly staring at him so directly, Jiang Ying, who was worried, couldn't help but be stunned.

Then, suddenly, he raised his hand and touched his cheek.

Is there something on her face?

"Stay, in the future, I'll let Ah Pu tweak/teach one or two, and put it by your side to be a personal maid."

"Sticking to the 'body maid?!" Jiang Ying rubbed her face and looked at Jin Qi incredulously.

When did Brother Jin also have this habit?

She's not a small-bellied person, but that's also ...... Too suddenly?

Seeing that her face changed all the way, from shock to disappointment, and then to helplessness, Jin Qi's face sank. Glaring at the voice, he said, "I mean to you—"

He is a big man with hands and feet, why should he be served by a maid!

He doesn't have the useless ways of those aristocratic sons and brothers here.

"Oh...... Give it to me, ......? Jiang Ying was dull for a moment, and after reacting, she subconsciously showed a comfortable expression.

Jin Qi saw her reaction in his eyes, didn't say anything, turned his head, raised his feet and walked forward.

Holding her hand, he still didn't let go.

Jiang Ying was led forward by him, and she was in a good mood for no reason, she raised her head and said with a smile: "Brother Jin, let's go eat cabbage tomorrow morning, right?" It's in the alley next to the inn. It's just two steps away. I tasted it this morning and it tasted good......"

Jin Qi has long been accustomed to her virtue of always thinking about eating, and he is happy to accompany her to eat with her. But there's a but-

"Tomorrow it won't dawn. I'm going to leave for Junzhou. ”

It takes more than seven or eight days to go back and forth. Leaving a day today is a bad plan.

"I'll be back tomorrow?"

"Hmm."

How can it be so fast?

Jiang Ying looked at his side face and was silent for a while, but her expression did not show too much disappointment. He only asked, "Then when will this battle be over?" Will you be able to return to Beijing soon? ”

I remember that when Jin Qi left the capital, she asked how long this battle would last, and Jin Qi replied to her at that time that it was only a few months to add the journey.

And now, it has been two months since he left Beijing.

So if you do the math, it won't be long before you go back to Beijing, right?

If this is the case, the current situation of just getting together and dividing will not be too sad.

"Half a year at least."

Jin Qi replied like this.

Jiang Ying was stunned.

Another half a year?

"The plan has changed from the beginning." Jin Qi explained briefly, without going into details.

Judging from the experience of the previous life, this battle did not last long - after Liao Feng was defeated, he was besieged and killed by ten thousand arrows, and the rest of the remaining party was also punished by the public, executed by execution, and exiled.

In other words, Liao Feng in his previous life had no chance to escape to the Western Barbarian Realm.

But in this life, he temporarily spared Liao Feng's life and gave him such an opportunity.

In the previous life, the Xiban reached an alliance with the Han family, Yan Jianzhan never died under his arrows, and Yan Jinlie was not killed by the Han family.

And at that time, Liao Feng's death, Ximan adhered to the idea that he could not make enemies with the Jin family, so he just turned a blind eye, anyway, Liao Feng was just a chess piece with a little attack power to them.

But this life is completely different.

Due to the Battle of Jincheng, the former Khan King died in the hands of the Han family, and the Xiban and Liao Feng, whose strength was greatly reduced, were already in a state of interdependence, like the weight of half a life.

And even if Ximan was willing to give up Liao Feng's half life and stop fighting in exchange for temporarily escaping the attention of the Jin family, it was too late.

Liao Feng, a hot potato, has chosen a road of "death and everyone dies together" at the time of life and death.

And this is the purpose of Jinqi.

He didn't want to go around these useless bends.

He didn't have any extra effort to spend on these trivial matters—since they were things that had to be solved sooner or later, it was better to solve them all together.

It's also good...... Settle down early.

Although the Xiban has been hit hard and its strength is not as good as before, the northwest is their territory after all, and it has been rooted here for a hundred years, and if they want to root it, it will definitely take a lot of effort.

Half a year is already the fastest estimate.

Jiang Ying had no way of knowing about his plans, only heard him say that the plan had changed, and this battle would be fought for at least half a year, so he couldn't help but worry: "Is there a tricky trouble?" Can it be solved smoothly? ”

"It's not a hassle."

Jiang Ying looked at his expression, not as if she was deliberately lying to make her feel at ease, so she let out an "oh" and lowered her head.

Since it's not a trouble, then she doesn't have to worry.

But in this way, I can't control the sense of loss in my heart.

But I have to pretend to be sensible and sensible, so I don't say anything.

So much so that when Ah Ju finally helped the red lion to the carriage after a lot of hardship, what caught her eye was Jiang Ying's deflated mouth and not speaking.

"Girl." Ah Ju called.

Jiang Ying didn't say anything.

"Girl...... Ah Ju called again.

Jiang Ying turned her head to look at her faintly.

"Girl, can you help me get the man into the carriage......?" Ah Ju smiled embarrassedly.

Jiang Ying: "...... Oh. He stretched out his hand.

Jin Qi glanced at her, took two steps forward and took the red lion with one hand, and stuffed the person into the carriage.

Ah Ju looked at the empty hand in a daze.

Jiang Ying glanced at Jin Qi and didn't speak.

The atmosphere, somewhat inexplicably subtle.

……

After returning to the inn, with Jiang Ying's signal, Ah Ju helped the red lion change into clean clothes, and used the wound medicine given by Jin Qi to treat and bandage the wounds on his body.

A few basins of dirty water mixed with the smell of blood were brought out, and when Jiang Ying looked at it again, the person who was placed on the bed had already changed his appearance.

The red lion is wearing a brand-new set of silver silk underwear with a collar that Jiang Ying has newly made a few days ago and has not had time to wear, and the two of them are about the same size, but she is slightly thinner than Jiang Ying, but she is also suitable for dressing.

The person was still unconscious, but the contours of his facial features could be seen clearly on his washed face—although his skin was rough, he was a delicate-looking girl.

“…… The hair couldn't be combed apart, it was all sticky and smelly...... I had to cut it with scissors, hoping she wouldn't blame me when she woke up - her fingernails were too long, dirty, and hard, but it took a lot of effort...... There are old scars all over the body, and there is no good place to go, so the face is better. Ah Ju stood on the side and said with a complicated face, and said at the end: "Where is the girl's family living like this......"

It's pathetic.

It's incredible, too.

Jiang Ying looked at this little face with a few scars superimposed on the old and the new, and said earnestly, "It's really hard", so she didn't stay longer, briefly told Ah Ju a few words, and then turned around and went back to her room.

Seeing that she had not been in a good mood, Ah Ju thought that she was making an advocacy for the sake of leaving the red lion back, so she didn't dare to ask more.

Just thinking about buying a few more things she likes to eat tomorrow and sending them to the house, although there is nothing new in the method, there is a ninety percent probability of coaxing people well......

……

The next morning.

At the beginning of the day, when the morning mist was shrouded, the sun had not yet appeared.

"Ah......h

The guy in the inn pushed open the two doors of the lobby, stood on the threshold and stretched out happily, and looked from behind, the range of movements was slightly exaggerated.

At this hour, most of the residents had not yet gotten up, but one of the doors in a row of rooms on the second floor was pushed open.

The young man who came out of the guest room was wearing an ink-colored sleeved robe, which was very neat, and the moire jade crown that bound his hair was also carved from black jade, and he was born with an unusually cold and noble face, so people felt that they were full of heroism when they looked at it, but they also felt that they did not dare to look carefully.

The man walked less than ten steps before stopping in front of another room.

He stretched out his hand, but stopped abruptly just as he was about to touch the door.

She shouldn't have woken up at this hour, right?

…… (To be continued......)

PS: ps: As an aside, Xiao Fei roughly calculated today, the book is expected to end around New Year's Day, which means that there are about two months left...... (In the case of constant changes.)
