024: For the rest of your life, I'll protect you
The two of them gossip like this, and before they knew it, an afternoon passed, and it wasn't until sunset that Ji Hongxuan got up to say goodbye. Nalan Jinxiu sent him, and the two went out one after the other.
The afterglow of the sunset sprinkled in the courtyard, a touch of fiery red and warm in the sky, it looked unusually warm, Ji Hongxuan turned his head, and his tone was gentle: "Jin'er, wait for me to come back." ”
Nalan Jinxiu looked at the young man in front of her, her face was handsome, her eyebrows and eyes were shining, and she suddenly felt a little quiet in her heart, and she smiled brightly: "What are you going to do when you come back?"
Ji Hongxuan probably didn't expect her to ask like this, and froze in place for a while, looking at a loss. Nalan Jinxiu looked at his appearance, and inexplicably felt a little honest, and laughed out loud, which was bright and glamorous.
Ji Hongxuan seemed to be bewitched, and said in a low but firm voice: "Wait for me to come back, wait for me to become strong enough, and wait for me to protect you for the rest of your life." ”
Nalan smiled on his lips. In the past, she was a cheerful, lively, and carefree daughter, and she should be very moved when she heard such words. But now she has long been worn away by what she has experienced, and even the most beautiful vows are no different from ordinary words to her.
Oaths are the most untrue things.
Maybe Ji Hongxuan's tone was too sincere. At this time, there was a feeling of resurgence in her heart. It's like a dead wood that has died, feeling the drizzle of spring and slowly waking up.
Until many years later, Ji Hongxuan became an invincible general, cold and silent. Nalan Jinxiu can still think of this dusk, this young man like a clear spring, once said so sincerely, I will protect you for the rest of your life.

Following.
When I woke up in the morning, it was overcast and drizzled. Xu is because of what Ji Hongxuan said yesterday, Nalan Jinxiu's heart also has some parting sorrows, not that there are many special emotions, but after more experience, I feel that sincerity is precious.
This brightest boy in the Ji Mansion, as soon as he enters the northern Xinjiang, he will experience war, blood, and fighting. For a son-in-law who is not stained with the world, it is a dream and purgatory, and he will never be carefree in the future.
Maybe she should say something of blessing, but she didn't want to be misunderstood, and she didn't want the boy to have other fantasies because of it. Nalan Jinxiu tossed and turned on the Luohan bed for a while, but still asked Jixiang to bring the medicine box, turned out the best wound medicine in it, and decided to send Ji Hongxuan.
Nalan Jinxiu went to Ji Hongxuan's courtyard and saw that Ji Ping had already packed his bags and was waiting in the yard with his horse. Ji Hongxuan was a little surprised when she saw her coming, and her eyes lit up, "You're here?"
Nalan Jinxiu was not surprised by his reaction at all, and asked in a low voice, "Are you leaving?"
"Hmm. ”
"This one for you. Nalan Jinxiu put a small white jade bottle in his hand.
"What kind of elixir is this?" Ji Hongxuan grinned.
"It is a very good medicine for wounds, to stop bleeding and promote wound healing, you can't do without it when you go to the north to fight. ”
"I'm still young, and I only went to study with my uncle, so I can't go to the battlefield for the time being. You better keep it for yourself, the embroidery hurts your finger or something, you can still use it. ”
"Do you think I can use this for embroidery?" said Nalan Jinxiu angrily, and forced the small bottle to him.
Ji Hongxuan's hands were heavy, especially in his heart. In the Ji family, only the third and fifth brothers treated him sincerely, but now there is such a little girl. It's a pity that in order to earn a good future, he had to leave, hoping that when he returns, she will still be like this.
But he forgot the time, and it was a cruel thing to man. She will grow up, she will leave, something unpredictable will happen, and she will not always wait for him.
"Then I'll take it. He stuffed the small bottle into his sleeve, and said to Nalan Jinxiu: "Don't always be stuffy in the house in the future, take Sixi to bask in the sun." Don't always study medical books, reading too many books hurts your eyes......"
Seeing that he was going to continue, knowing that he was too long-winded, Nalan Jinxiu hurriedly interrupted: "You don't have to worry about me, I understand all this." ”
"I know you understand, I'm afraid you won't remember. ”
"Remembered, remembered. By the way, Northern Xinjiang is so far away from Jinling, is there anyone escorting you along the way?"
"Yes, there is a caravan to the northern frontier, and my fifth brother and I are with them. ”
"Did my uncle inform my father when he was going to pick you up?"
"It's been communicated a long time ago, don't worry, there will be absolutely nothing along the way. ”
Nalan Jinxiu nodded, even if he is a concubine, he is also an authentic descendant of the Ji family, and Ji Yao should arrange it for them. It's just that the border is dangerous, and Ji Hongxuan's temperament, she is still a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, I'll write to my father when I get back. He has always loved me, and my words are always more effective than my uncle's. ”
In Xu Jinsheng's memory, King Zhenbei was very good to her. Although he guards the border and can't enter Jinling once a year, he always brings gifts to her. A general, but also buy some things that his daughter's family likes, and I think I love this only daughter very much.
At this time, Ji Honghuan also arrived, and his outfit was even simpler. I didn't even bring a little girl, just a small baggage. Looking at Ji Hongxuan and Nalan Jinxiu, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, it should be good to have someone who treats him sincerely!
Mother cried all night last night, and in Jifu, he and the sixth child were the mother's dependents. Now, both of them are going to the northern frontier, leaving her alone in the mansion, which is really cruel.
But he knows the temper of the sixth man best, and he is impulsive and irritable. The land of northern Xinjiang is dangerous, if he is not always reminded by his side, I am afraid that he will also have the life to go and not come back.
Although Jinling is stable and prosperous, it is even more dirty inside. He was tired of acting as inferior as others, following the rules every day, and walking on thin ice. It's better to start over. In Northern Xinjiang, no one cares about your origins, let alone deliberately murdering you, and it may be fairer there than Jinling.
"Sixth brother, the time has come, it's time to go to my father's place to say goodbye. Ji Honghuan reminded loudly.
Ji Hongxuan didn't say anything more, only rubbed the top of Nalan Jinxiu's head. I have said a lot of goodbye, but I don't know what to say at this time.
Nalan Jinxiu smiled at him and said solemnly, "Have a good trip." ”
"When you settle down in northern Xinjiang, I will write to you. ”
Nalan Jinxiu nodded, looked at Ji Hongxuan's back, and shouted: "If my father is not good to you, just tell me, I will ...... him."
Ji Hongxuan's figure froze, but he didn't look back.
