Half a month ago, since seeing the third prince of Daxin in the Qiongmin Palace, the ripples in Ji Qianning's heart could no longer be calm.

Recognize the wrong person? Ji Qianning laughed self-deprecatingly, who knew the mole on his ear, she clearly remembered it. But why, he is the third prince of Daxin, his father and mother died under the butcher's knife of Daxin, and she hates Daxin people the most in this world.

But...... She was unwilling, she didn't believe that she was waiting for such a merciless person.

On that day, the third prince pretended not to know how to drive away, she was really aggrieved, and cried in Xuan Qi's arms for a long time, but finally she was unwilling, and finally chased her outside the post house, and reported her name to the guards over and over again, asking the third prince to come out to meet, but after all, she didn't wait for that figure.

She knew that Ling Chengzhi knew that she was outside the door, but she never showed her face from beginning to end.

She deceived herself over and over again: he wouldn't be so ruthless, he wouldn't be so ruthless, he would meet me......

For two hours, from the initial expectation to disappointment, Xuan Qi, who was hiding in the corner, watched the change in her eyes, and felt very uncomfortable for a while. He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, walked over and took Ji Qianning's hand and walked back.

Ji Qianning closed her eyes, didn't struggle, and let him pull it. At this moment, she was suffocated in pain, but the pride in her heart did not let the tears remain. From childhood to adulthood, in the past ten years, even when her father and mother passed away, her heart has never been so empty, and at this time, she is like a walking corpse, letting Xuan Qi pull her through the street.

Back at the General's Mansion, Ji Qianning pretended to have nothing to do to greet everyone, and locked herself in the house. Everyone tacitly did not ask a word.

As soon as she closed the door, she leaned on it, closed her eyes, tears poured down like a torrential rain, her body was weak, she slid down the door and sat on the ground, the pear blossoms brought rain, the more she cried, the more fierce she became, she raised her right hand to cover her mouth, tried to restrain herself from making a sound, her shoulders trembled violently, tears and snot flowed down her fingers, and her heart hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.

Like someone, why are you so embarrassed?

After a long time, crying until the tears dried up and the whole body had no strength, Ji Qianning wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves, struggled to get up, staggered to the wooden case, poured a full glass of water and drank it all, and then sat there, I couldn't help but think of some things, the more I thought about it, the more wronged I felt in my heart, and the tears flowed down again without a fight.

"Ah Ning, open the door." The voice outside the door suddenly woke up Ji Qianning, it was her brother.

She didn't want her family to worry, so she quickly wiped the tears on her face with her hands, changed into clean clothes, and sorted out her scattered hair next to the bronze mirror, and then opened the door.

The moment the door opened, Ji Qianmu saw her red and swollen eyes and the bitter smile she was trying to squeeze out, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable, he pretended to be fine, and said with a smile: "Hungry." After saying that, he went into the house with food.

"Brother, I'm not hungry." Ji Qianning obediently followed him.

Ji Qianmu put the food on the wooden table and said gently: "You have to eat something, sit down quickly." ”

Ji Qianning sat down obediently, barely showing a smile: "Brother, I can't eat." ”

Ji Qianmu took her hand, put the chopsticks on it, and then touched her head dotingly: "My sister Ji Qianmu can't be easily defeated, the rice still has to be eaten, in this world, nothing is as important as your body." ”

Ji Qianning looked up at Ji Qianmu, holding back the tears that came out of her eyes, the man in front of her, like a father and a brother, how lucky she was in this life, to meet such a good brother, she couldn't let him worry about herself anymore, so she picked up the bowl and quickly stuffed food into her mouth.

"Slow down." Ji Qianmu gave her a glass of water, looking doting.

The meal was swept away, Ji Qianning licked her mouth, lowered her head, and still tried to hide her emotions.

Ji Qianmu was very distressed when he saw the tears she held back several times, he got up and walked to her side and sat down, and hugged her tightly in his arms: "If you want to cry, cry, you don't need to endure it in front of your brother." ”

In fact, since Ji Qianning entered the room, he followed, he stood outside the door, listened to her forced cry, almost died of distress, and had the urge to understand the initiator with his own hands several times. When there was no crying in the house, he asked the maid to bring food.

Hearing her brother's words, Ji Qianning couldn't hold back anymore and cried loudly, all the grievances and all the pain were mixed with tears and flowed out......

"Ah Ning, you are still young, some things are easy to confuse your mind, remember, there is no big deal in this world except life and death, my children of the Ji family cannot be easily defeated, you must cheer up, no matter what happens, my brother will always be by your side."

Ji Qianning nodded, sniffed, and said with a crying voice: "Brother, I want to go back to Jingdu and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Good"

……

Sleepless nights.

The next day, before the morning sun rose in the east, Ji Qianning packed up, and Ji Qianmu stayed in Los Angeles because he had official business. Chu Duxue and Xuan Qi accompanied Ji Qianning and returned to Jingdu with everyone. The carriage drove on the avenue for two days, Ji Qianning did not say a word on the road, the water and rice did not enter, only leaned on the carriage, closed his eyes, and looked in a trance, and the rest of the people were also in a complicated mood.

Xuan Qi sent Ji Qianning home, comforted her, and went to deal with important matters.

……

"Master Xuan, go and persuade Ah Ning, she has locked herself in her room without eating or drinking for two days." When Chu Duxue saw Xuan Qi, she was extremely excited, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Master Xuan, bother you to help us persuade Miss." Lan on the side said anxiously.

As soon as Xuan Qi heard the words of the two, he quickly ran towards Ji Qianning's boudoir. In the past two days, he returned to Jingdu from Los Angeles, and brought the secret order of the Sheng'an Palace in the dark night, which was two days, and as soon as he was free, he took Su Wei to the Ji Mansion immediately.

"Ning'er open the door, Ning'er? Anything, I'll solve it with you, don't torture yourself like this, Ning'er? Xuan Qi rushed to the outside of Ji Qianning's boudoir and knocked on the door vigorously.

Lan Xin, who arrived later, shouted breathlessly: "Miss, open the door quickly, Master Xuan has come to see you." ”

"Ah Ning, open the door quickly, Ah Ning ......," Chu Duxue on the side shouted.

"Ning'er, open the door, don't worry everyone." Xuan Qi shouted outside the door.

"Miss, open the door quickly, are you worried about the death of Lan'er? Miss. ”

"Ning'er, Ning'er." Xuan Qi's voice became urgent.

"Master Xuan, Miss ignores us, nothing will happen, right?" Lan Xin looked worried.

"Ning'er." Xuan Qi glanced at Lan Xin, frowned, took two steps back, and kicked open the door, "Ning'er, Ning'er......"

"Miss, Miss......"

After walking around the room for a long time, he didn't even notice Ji Qianning's shadow, and the four of them looked at each other. Suddenly, Xuan Qi found that there was a piece of brocade silk pressed under the tea cup on the desk, he quickly picked it up, only to see that it was written:

I have something important to deal with, once I go, everything is safe, don't seek, don't read.

Xuan Qi passed the brocade silk to several other people to watch.

"Miss, where has this gone, nothing will happen, right?" Lan Xin saw that the room was empty, and tears flowed down her eyes.

"Miss Lan, Miss Ji's daughter, it's going to be fine." Su Wei comforted beside him.

"Master Xuan, help us think about it, where is Ah Ning most likely to go?" Although Chu Duxue was anxious, she remained calm.

A haze appeared in Xuan Qi's eyes, and he still frowned and said, "According to her character, she will definitely go to Ling Chengzhi and ask everything clearly." ”

"The day after we left, Ling Chengzhi also left Los Angeles, if we can't catch up, Ah Ning won't find Daxin, right?" Chu Duxue suddenly exclaimed.

"According to her temperament, it is very likely. Madam, tell General Ji about the situation first, I will go to the road they must go through to find out, you can wait for our news with peace of mind. ”

"Master Xuan, I'll go with you." Lan Xin said suddenly.

Xuan Qi glanced at Lan Xin, and saw that her eyes were full of desire, so he nodded: "Without further ado, let's go." ”

Chu Duxue said gratefully: "Master Xuan, Ah Ning will please you." ”

Xuan Qi nodded at Chu Duxue, and took Lan Xin and Su Wei out of Ji's mansion.

……

On the first night of returning to Jingdu, Ji Qianning sneaked out of the house, she was always unwilling in her heart, thinking selfishly, Ling Chengzhi must have some kind of hardship, so she would abandon the oath of the day, she wanted to ask him face to face to ask everything, even if Ling Chengzhi really changed his mind, she had to listen to him say it himself.

She always firmly believed that he was still the one she saw for the first time in the bamboo forest, like a Penglai immortal, who amazed her years.

Before leaving Jingdu City, she heard that Ling Chengzhi had already left Los Angeles, and the way back to Daxin would definitely pass through Jingdu, and the two-day journey from Los Angeles to Jingdu would be at this time, I was afraid that Ling Chengzhi had already left Jingdu. didn't have time to think about it, Ji Qianning changed into men's clothes in a clothing shop in the city, and then bought a horse in the market and walked up the road to Daxin.

More than ten days later, Ji Qianning came to Yangcheng. This road was full of dust, and I didn't see Ling Chengzhi and his party.

She really didn't like her natural stubbornness, but now there was no turning back. At this time, her heart was still firm, if she still couldn't catch up with Ling Chengzhi's figure, she would go to Daxin alone.

She vowed to see him, and the more difficult the situation, the stronger her heart became.

She didn't dare to stay in Yangcheng for too long, she was afraid that her brother had already returned to Yangcheng, so she repaired in Yangcheng for one night, and early the next morning, she rode away, and traveled all the way, and arrived at the Tianwei Pass two days later.

The pass was heavily guarded, and she guessed that her brother must have arranged for someone to inquire about her whereabouts here, and when she was at a loss, a caravan happened to pass by, and she mixed into the caravan.

As soon as she passed the dangerous pass, there was a vast Gobi in front of her, no people, no prosperous cities, no crowds, and a sense of desolation suddenly came to her heart, she knew what it meant to go, farewell to her homeland, farewell to the people who loved her, just for the ridiculous persistence in her heart, she resolutely stepped on a strange land, just to give the insistence in her heart an answer?

"Ling Chengzhi, I gave up a lot for you, I hope you won't fail me." Ji Qianning shook her head, and finally looked back at her homeland deeply, and followed the caravan to the road ahead.

Along the way, although the heart is sad, but sometimes there will be a little joy, she finally saw the magnificent scene of "the desert is lonely and the sun sets on the long river" that she can only listen to her brother talk about in her life, she is overwhelmed by this shocking beauty from time to time, and the beautiful scenery is in her eyes, and gradually soothes her lonely heart.

Three days later, the convoy arrived at the foot of Fengming Mountain, which was different from the place where it passed a few days ago, it was a lively market, where merchants gathered, people came and went, and it was not lively. Leave here, after Fengming Mountain, you will really leave the Han land, to the territory of Daxin, the merchant travelers will really enter Daxin before they will repair it here, and over time, this place has developed into a small city.

The caravan stopped outside the gate of a post station, repaired for a night, and continued to travel west the next day, Ji Qianning did not plan to go with them, yesterday when he entered the post station, he suddenly heard the traveler talking, Princess Yixuan and his team have set off from Los Angeles, and in another half a month, they will be able to reach this place. Ji Qianning suddenly had a plan in her heart, instead of going aimlessly like this, it was better to blend into the team of relatives, so that it wouldn't be long before she could see him.

Thinking of this, Ji Qianning found that there was not much left of the entanglement on her body, so she asked the post station owner to let her stay and work.

The boss saw through her identity at a glance, smiled and said nothing, he has seen too many people here, listened to too many stories, the world is disturbed, love and love, joys and sorrows, but it is an obsession in his heart, and he finally smiles. However, a little girl can only grow up if she has gone through the world.

Meeting is fate, and the boss left her.

"Little girl, let's separate." An uncle in the caravan who was about to depart saw Ji Qianning, who was still looking at the distance silently, and suddenly said.

"Uncle Eminem, you, how did you find out that I am ......" Ji Qianning suddenly exclaimed.

"You're a daughter? Haha, uncle, I've been traveling north and south for so many years, and I don't have this eyesight, so how can I mix it? When the uncle named Eminem heard Ji Qianning's words, he suddenly laughed.

"Uncle Eminem, why don't you stay a few more days and let the caravan rest, isn't there still a long way to go?"

"Uncle's child is about to be born, and before the little one is born, I'm going to rush back to Carl. The road is still far away, and I dare not stay for too long. ”

"That's great!" Ji Qianning smiled slightly, "Uncle Eminem, thank you for taking care of me along the way." Ji Qianning looked at him gratefully.

"Girl, although I don't know why you left your hometown, I don't know why you came here, people in this life, will always be impulsive to pursue something, even if there is no result in the end, what remains in the bottom of my heart afterwards is also the good memories left on this brave pursuit of the road, people who have gone forward in their lives will never regret the road they have walked, whether it is wrong or right, don't worry too much about everything, ask your heart, just follow your heart." After the uncle finished speaking, he patted Ji Qianning on the shoulder.

Ji Qianning nodded and said to Eminem, "Uncle Eminem, thank you." ”

Eminem also nodded to Ji Qianning: "You are always a girl, on the road in the future, remember to protect yourself, well, continue to wear men's clothes, it will be safer." ”

"Uncle Eminem, will we ever see each other again?"

"People intersect with each other, light as water, so come and go without worry, but if there is fate, we will meet next time. Take care. After Eminem finished speaking, he left with the departing convoy.

Ji Qian stared at the back of Eminem leaving, smiled slightly, and shouted to the distant convoy: "Uncle Eminem, take care all the way." ”

Eminem didn't turn around, he waved his hand as a farewell, the early morning sun shone on the fleet, and Ji Qianning's heart was peaceful.
