Chapter 27 Returning to the Hometown to Visit Relatives

General Ji had a calm face and said, "Now that the prince is seriously ill, these princes are becoming more and more restless, and they have repeatedly come up with the idea of Ruhuan. ”

Ji Chengmu looked at General Ji, "Father also suspects that it's them." ”

General Ji nodded, "There are not so many coincidences in this world, there must be demons when things go wrong, Hey, it's because my father was too confused in the early years, thinking that Ruhuan lost her mother at a young age, so he doted on her too much, so that she developed such an arrogant temperament now, so that people would have a chance to take advantage of it, and she started her idea." ”

Ji Chengmu responded, "My father is also a loving heart, there is no need to blame himself, and he has gotten along with Huan'er a lot during this time, but my son feels that Huan'er is innocent and kind-hearted, not as unbearable as it is rumored outside." ”

General Ji sighed and responded, "You don't have to speak for her, if she is really sensible, she will not make trouble about the things of Chen Xiaohou and the fourth prince." ”

Ji Cheng said, "Father also thinks that those people are restless and wants to use Huan'er to win over our Zhenguo Mansion, how can Huan'er be blamed for this." ”

General Ji nodded and responded, "Yes, now that it is an eventful season, it is better to let your grandmother take Huan'er and Feiyan back to Jizhou's hometown to visit relatives, and you can avoid it." ”

Ji Chengmu said to the same thing, "That's very good." ”

On the second day, General Ji discussed with his mother and asked him to take his two granddaughters back to Jizhou to visit relatives. ”

In fact, Ji Ruhuan didn't want to leave Beijing at this time, but her father insisted, and the second brother also came forward to persuade her, and even the third brother came to persuade her a few times, for fear that she would make trouble again and hurt her father's heart.

Ji Ruhuan thought about visiting relatives and came back soon, and finally obediently agreed.

Because it is to go back to his hometown to visit relatives, he can't always return empty-handed, so he naturally has to prepare carefully, and Mrs. Ji is also old, and the half-month journey is a little cumbersome to prepare for going out.

After this matter was settled, it was after February that Erlong raised his head, and Mrs. Ji went out with her two granddaughters.

The female dependents went out, and there was a half-month journey, even if the preparation was low-key, there were four carriages, more than 100 guards and subordinates, and a long line.

However, there are a lot of teams like them who leave Beijing at this time, because a little farther away, it will take time on the road, and returning to their hometown is just in time to catch up with the Qingming Festival to worship their ancestors.

There are many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, much bigger than their pomp, and their team is not abrupt, walking on the road, being seen only sighing, which dignitaries have returned to their hometowns to worship their ancestors.

These days, in his free time, Ji Ruhuan is mostly reading books and practicing calligraphy, or following his two brothers to the martial arts arena to practice martial arts.

On the way back to the hometown, it is inconvenient to practice calligraphy and martial arts, but it does not affect Ji Ruhuan's reading, when Qiu's mother prepared her luggage, Ji Ruhuan let a lot of books be moved into the carriage, so that the road is not too boring.

Originally, it was closer to take the waterway, because it was downstream, and it took almost ten days to get to the Jizhou wharf, but the old lady was seasick and could only take a carriage.

However, the carriage has some drawbacks, sometimes the road is delayed, and it cannot reach the designated place of stay, so it can only sleep in the wilderness, but fortunately, it should be fully prepared, but it is not embarrassed.

Ji Ruhuan and they went out of Beijing on the second day, there was a drizzle at noon, and the weather was cold in February, so they had to stop and go and slow down, and as a result, they failed to reach the designated town, so they had to find a leeward mountain to settle down.

I just don't know why, Ji Ruhuan is always a little unsteady in her heart, lying on the couch in the carriage, with her eyes closed but always unable to sleep.

Ji Ruhuan simply sat up, woke up Xiaohua, who was napping at the door, and hurriedly sat up straight and asked, "What do you command?"

Ji Ruhuan stretched out her hand to take the small jacket on the side, and said while putting it on her side, "I can't sleep, I'll go out for a walk." ”

Xiaohua hurriedly got out of the carriage and saw a group of night watch guards sitting by the campfire, laughing, and walked towards that side.

When a group of guards saw the young lady coming, they all got up to salute, and Ji Ruhuan waved his hand, "You talk about yours, don't worry about me." ”

But where can these guards be as comfortable as before, Xiao Jinzi stepped forward and said to Ji Ruhuan with a smile, "Miss, do you want to come and sit for a while and roast the fire?"

Ji Ruhuan nodded, and was courteously entertained by Xiao Jinzi to sit down by the campfire, but these guards were silent and didn't dare to make a sound.

Ji Ruhuan had no choice but to ask, "What are you talking about?"

On the side, Xiao Jinzi was very good at trouble, and hurriedly smiled and answered, "Miss, the guards are telling the little ones about their feat of sleeping in the wilderness to resist wolves when they were fighting with their masters." ”

Ji Ruhuan became interested, tilted her head and responded, "Oh? tell me about it too." ”

I don't want to think that at this time, the two patrol guards suddenly walked over quickly with a hurry, and saw Ji Ruhuan slightly stunned, but he didn't dare to delay at all and said, "I've seen the eldest lady, there is a team of people from the southeast coming towards us, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

After hearing the words of the patrol guards, the guards around the campfire all stood up, and the leader of the guards ordered, "Gather everyone to be on alert and go and inform Lord Huang." ”

After the order, he found that the eldest lady was still standing by the bonfire, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Please hurry up and get into the carriage." ”

Ji Ruhuan frowned slightly, shook his head, and answered, "Take me to see Huang Ping." ”

In the end, Huang Ping was the right-hand man who followed General Ji, and soon gathered his men and horses, and ordered and arranged countermeasures in an orderly manner.

Seeing Ji Ruhuan, who was still standing aside, her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and she hugged her fists and said, "Miss, hurry up and go to the carriage and follow Mrs. Ji away." ”

Ji Ruhuan had been standing aside and pondering before, but when he heard Huang Ping calling himself, he shook his head and said, "The goal of the carriage is too big, you take a team of people to escort your grandmother away, and then find a hidden place to hide, and I will take the carriage to lead those people away." ”

Huang Ping frowned, and was about to refute, but Ji Ruhuan reprimanded coldly, "I don't have so much time for you to delay, hurry up." ”

As soon as Ji Ruhuan finished speaking, she heard a loud shout from there, "They are rushing towards this side." ”

Huang Ping saw the eldest lady's calm and calm eyes, but he couldn't say anything about it, but he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he obeyed the order and quickly led a team of people to the carriage to find Mrs. Ji.

Ji Ruhuan's face was calm, and he opened his mouth and ordered, "You take people to resist for a while, and when Huang Ping leaves with his grandmother, he will find a way to evacuate, Xiaojinzi, let's go." ”

After speaking, he walked quickly to the carriage, Ji Ruhuan had an intuition that these people were coming for her, as long as she led those people away, her grandmother would be safe.

Ji Ruhuan led a team of more than 30 people, only let people drive two carriages, and went straight to the northwest.

The southeast is the direction of Kyoto, they are walking slowly, not far from Kyoto, according to common sense, they should have returned to Kyoto, but these people are obviously from Kyoto, and these people she can think of must also be able to think of it, if they flee in the direction of Kyoto, maybe there will be an ambush, waiting for them to fall into the net.

The road was bumpy at night, and the speed of the carriage was obviously slower than that of a horse, Ji Ruhuan lifted the curtain of the car, and looked at the faint light chasing them behind her, with a heavy face.
