240. Chapter 73
Ling Jiu had never dealt with Du Yunjin, and he didn't know how true her words were for a few minutes, but he didn't dare to agree to her first request lightly. Once he failed to control Su Jingchen and the child, it would not be very difficult for Du Yunjin to escape from his hostage, and he had to ensure that what he brought back was a living person.
He looked at Ling Qi with a look, after all, Ling Qi had been sitting in the first place for more than ten years, and his experience was beyond his comparison.
Ling Qi's gaze looked from him to the others beside him, and Ling Jiu immediately understood.
"I can grant you the first request." Ling Jiu slowly let go of his hand and watched Du Yunjin's every move defensively.
"Ah Jin, I will never part with you!" Su Jingchen got the gap, so he shouted at Du Yunjin: "Even if we die, we have to die together." ”
"And what about the kids?" Du Yunjin glanced at the ignorant Su Baozi in his arms, this child is still so young, he should not be bullied by the wind and rain of the outside world.
"Jingchen, are you obedient?" Du Yunjin tried to put on a smiling face: "You wait for me at home with buns, I will definitely come back." ”
As long as they weren't in Xiao Yu's hands, she believed that she could find a gap to slip back, so she had to ensure their safety first.
"But ......" For his eldest brother, Su Jingchen naturally understands it very well, he has never missed what he wants, he has enough patience and enough calculations. Previously, when he was in the Valley of the Doctor Immortals, he was not sure of victory, so he hibernated, and as soon as he returned to Beijing, he sent such people, and he was bound to bring Ah Jin back to the palace. And once Ah Jin enters the palace, it is almost difficult to get out under his nose.
"Shock, trust me." Du Yunjin looked at Su Jingchen almost earnestly, "Baozi still needs someone to take care of it." ”
Buns, yes, he still has buns to take care of. Su Jingchen looked at Su Baozi in his arms, his face softened, he nodded at Du Yunjin in embarrassment, and silently agreed.
Seeing him like this, Du Yunjin let go of the heart hanging in his throat.
Ling Jiu completely let go of Du Yunjin and led the others to follow behind her, as if welcoming and holding hostage. Sun Jiangong saw her succumb, and the strength in his hand softened, and quickly came to her side.
Du Yunjin didn't look back, and walked resolutely in the direction of the valley. Su Jingchen looked at her back and refused to look away for a long time.
After all these years, when will we meet again?
"Miss Du." Du Yunjin is no longer Xiao Yu's crown princess, and Sun Jiangong doesn't want to call her "Niangniang" anymore, so he chose such a title to show that he is the general of the Du family. "Gong Gong will definitely escort you back."
He promised, promised one person, to protect the rest of the Du family's army, etc. Du Yunjin is also a member of the Du family, and even she is the most important member.
He would not live up to that man's expectations, and even if he lost his life, what should he fear? He didn't care about other people's scolding for three whole years, and if he lost his life, he lost it.
"General Sun has worked hard." In the face of Sun Jiangong's kindness, Du Yunjin did not retreat, although she couldn't trust him 100%, but after all, he was the only one who could be used by her side.
Ling Qi slowed down and exchanged glances with Ling 13 behind him, and saw Ling 13 disappear into the team in an instant.
He knew that Du Yunjin was not a good girl who was tied up, and she must have other ideas. But it doesn't matter, as long as he holds Su Jingchen and the child firmly in his hands, he is not afraid that Du Yunjin will turn out the Five Finger Mountain.
Ling Jiu had been following Du Yunjin's side, and when he saw Ling Qi's movements, he was even more firmly focused on people with tacit understanding.
With Du Yunjin leading the way, it took them almost no time to get out of the Medical Immortal Valley.
When we reached the outside of the valley, it was only noon. Du Yunjin glanced at Sun Jiangong, and he said to Ling Qi very interestingly: "Now is the time for lunch, even if Miss Du is not half of your master now, she is still a guest of His Majesty, and it is not the hospitality of the imperial capital to let her go hungry." ”
Ling Jiu instinctively wanted to refuse, but was suppressed by Ling Qi's eyes. "Let's go to the inn from before."
As soon as Ling Qi's words fell, Ling Twelfth and Ling Fifteen rushed out, and soon there was no shadow.
He was very well prepared.
When Du Yunjin first arrived at the inn, Ling Twelve and Ling Fifteen had already finished their meals, and as soon as they sat down, food was continuously served. The entire inn looked like it should have been cleared, and apart from their group, none of the other figures were seen. And it was Ling Fifteen who served the food, and even the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper couldn't see it.
Du Yunjin chewed the tasteless dishes in his mouth while carefully continuing to look around in large quantities. She had to think of a way to get out quickly, otherwise Su Jingchen would definitely be worried.
She didn't want him to be half anxious because of her, and she didn't want him to be a little sad because of her.
Since he rescued them, they haven't really separated. Where she is, he is, and where he goes, she follows. They have long been one, and no one will survive without them.
Like her, Sun Jiangong was also looking at the situation around him. He may not have the ability to save the remnants of the Du family army who managed to survive, but he can always rescue Du Yunjin.
He nodded silently at Du Yunjin, who was looking for an opportunity, and with his chopsticks, he unexpectedly attacked Ling Qi, and at the same time, Du Yunjin re-swung the spear leaning against his side and went straight to Ling Jiu.
Ling Jiu's martial arts are not low, but they all estimate whether they will hurt Du Yunjin, so their strength is very light, but Du Yunjin is trying his best, the two sides are stubbornly fighting, Ling Jiu and the others can't catch Du Yunjin, and Du Yunjin can't get out lightly.
Sun Jiangong's martial arts were not above Ling Qi, and a few moves fell into Ling Qi's hands in the past, plus Ling Qi hated his previous sneak attack, and his attack was even more successful.
With a flying kick, Sun Jiangong was kicked to the ground, and blood continued to flow from the corner of his mouth.
"General Sun?"
Du Yunjin glanced at it and was completely startled. Ling Qi slowly approached as if he was going to kill him.
"Miss Du, you go first!" Sun Jiangong turned over and hugged Ling Qi's approaching legs tightly, not letting go of him even if he kicked like this.
"Brother Meng, I'll come down to accompany you today!"
Sun Jiangong regarded death as home, but Du Yunjin couldn't give up this heart, after all, it was extremely difficult for the remnants of the Du family army to survive in that bloodbath. How could she watch Sun Jiangong die tragically, she suddenly dropped the spear in her hand and shouted: "What did you promise me!" ”
Ling Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled, and took his foot back from Sun Jiangong's back.
"What you promised, you will let General Sun go!" Du Yunjin knew that they would not hurt themselves, so he simply threw away his spear, sat on the stool and read leisurely: "I didn't expect you to forget so quickly, so how can I trust your promise and return to the imperial capital with you?" ”
"Mother, this is a joke." Ling Qi glanced at Ling Jiu and sat opposite Du Yunjin. "If Niangniang no longer stirs up trouble and can let her subordinates complete the task, then her subordinates and others will also keep their promises."
"That's the best." Du Yunjin looked like the well water did not interfere with the river water, and it was rare to pay attention to Ling Qi and the others. "But what should you do if you beat General Sun like this?"
"We're just helping General Sun move his muscles." Ling Qi said with a smile, he usually has a lot of solemn times, and today it is rare to have a few smiles, but it makes people's scalps tingle.
Sun Jiangong was still lying on the ground, and the blood from the corner of his mouth kept gushing out, like a dead corpse.
Ling Qi used up ten percent of his strength with every kick he kicked at him, but fortunately, Sun Jiangong relied on his rough skin and thick flesh, and he could still hold out until now, if he were an ordinary person, he would have already returned to the West Heaven.
Du Yunjin sneered and looked directly at Ling Qi, waiting for his next move.
Ling Shifu got his eyes, squatted down to Sun Jiangong's side, took out a few bottles and cans from his arms, and poured out a few colorful pills for Sun Jiangong to pour.
After a while, Sun Jiangong's already pale face began to gradually regain his blood, and he also opened his eyes a little dazed.
"Miss, you shouldn't have saved me."
"I shouldn't have saved you, should you die?" Du Yunjin bent down, slowly leaned him against the table, and personally poured him a cup of tea.
"I just heard you say Brother Meng?" If it weren't for this sentence, maybe Du Yunjin really left alone ruthlessly, but this is the sentence. She thought of the cheerful man, who, though they would have some arguments over tactics, was always extremely talented in military affairs. She also wanted to secretly train him to be Xiao Yu's right-hand man and help Xiao Yu keep this picturesque country.
Sun Jiangong's face, which had already recovered his usual expression, suddenly showed a touch of extremely unnatural awkwardness. "Now, I don't want to hide it anymore. When Brother Meng learned that His Majesty wanted to rectify the Du family's army, he rushed to my house overnight and made such a plan with me. He died generously, and I relied on the credit of betraying him to rise to prominence, and I was in a high position to protect the poor and innocent soldiers of the Du Jiajun. ”
"I see." Du Yunjin let out a long sigh, the story of Cheng Ying and Gongsun Pestle conspiring to change babies would not be repeated today, Sun Jiangong is Cheng Ying, he worked hard to fulfill his promise to his old friend with his own strength, and kept her at the cost of death.
"General Sun, I've wronged you all these years."
Sun Jiangong still shook his head with a smile like that, "I only hate myself for not being able to protect Miss." ”
"It's okay." Du Yunjin smiled faintly at him: "It's best if you just need to protect yourself." ”
The two were talking softly, but one of them entered the inn.
"Shocking?" Du Yunjin looked at the person in front of him in surprise, how could he appear here.
Su Jingchen helplessly looked at Ling Shisan who was following him, and Du Yunjin had the answer.
"When Niangniang returns to the imperial capital, I will naturally release His Royal Highness King Yu." Ling Qi ignored Du Yunjin's angry glare and drank tea slowly.
