Chapter 280: Eavesdropping on the conversation
Ji Yanning's every arrow could accurately pierce through the throat, which made them a little jealous, but now she only had five arrows left, and there were more than twenty of them, which was simply not enough.
The leader snorted coldly and said, "Give it to me!"
As soon as her words fell, the arrow in Ji Yanning's hand had already left the string and hit three people, one of whom was the person who gave the order.
Everyone was slightly startled, and before they could react, Ji Yanning had already drawn out the last two arrows, put them on the bowstring, and looked at the rest of them coldly.
Seeing that they were still a little hesitant, Ji Yanning gradually retreated, intending to slowly retreat to the place where her horse was.
"Let's go together!" someone started shouting again, this time they all picked up their weapons and slashed towards Ji Yanning!
The arrows in Ji Yanning's hand shot over and hit two more, but she had no arrows now, so she could only throw away the bow, and then ran quickly!
Before she could run far, she was tripped by vines under her feet, and Ji Yanning fell to the ground!
"Die!"
The rebel raised his sword and slashed at her, and before the silver needle on Ji Yanning's fingertips shot out, he saw a figure flash, and then heard their wailing.
Qiu Mu directly slashed the soldiers closest to Ji Yanning, and then his eyes sank, and he fought with the rest of the people with his sword.
In a short time, all these rebels were eliminated by him, but his arm was also wounded.
Ji Yanning got up from the ground, looked at Qiu Mu, gestured to him, and said, "Thank you." ”
Qiu Mu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard her voice, it turned out to be a woman.
However, seeing that she had saved His Majesty just now, and her archery skills were so skillful, Qiu Mu, who had always been indifferent, said gently: "No thanks." ”
Ji Yanning sneered, then turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Qiu Mu.
"Girl, Your Majesty wants to see you. Qiu Mu said.
Ji Yanning turned around and looked at Qiu Mu, frowned slightly, tilted his head and asked, "The emperor wants to see me?"
Qiu Mu: "......"
Does this still need a reason?
Before he could figure out how to answer, Ji Yanning's eyes lit up and asked, "Did I save him just now, and he wanted to thank me and give me a lot of gold, silver and jewelry?"
"Uh...... I guess so. Qiu Mu looked at this girl dressed like this, thinking that she was extremely short of money, so he nodded.
Ji Yanning said: "You wait, I'll go and bring my horse over." ”
She turned and walked in the direction of her horse, untied the horse's rope, and led the horse down the hill with Qiu Mu.
At this time, Dong Cheng was commanding his subordinates to arrest the remaining rebels, when he saw Qiu Mu walking over with Ji Yanning.
Beigong Chen asked his subordinates to dispose of King Qi's corpse, and the medical officer immediately bandaged his wounds.
Qiu Mu took Ji Yanning and walked in front of Beigong Chen: "Your Majesty, she is the one who shot the arrow just now." ”
Beigong Chen raised his head and looked at Ji Yanning, his eyesight was good, but he could see at a glance that Ji Yanning was a woman, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, originally thinking that if any good man had such superb archery skills, he would definitely not miss such a talent.
It's just that I didn't expect that the person who could have superb archery skills was a woman.
Ji Yanning followed Qiu Mu's example and saluted Beigong Chen with a fist.
She looked at Beigong Chen in front of her, her eyes were crooked, and she smiled: "Is the emperor going to give me a lot of gold, silver and jewelry?"
Beigong Chen didn't answer her words, but asked, "Who is your archery master?"
Ji Yanning's question, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and after thinking for a while, he could only say, "I forgot." ”
Beigong Chen said: "I can teach you such skills, how can you forget?"
Ji Yanning said with an innocent face: "I didn't mean to forget, I can't remember it, I can't remember it, I don't remember who my surname is, who my parents are, and where my family is." So if you ask me these questions, Your Majesty, I naturally can't answer them. ”
Beigong Chen saw that she was not cowardly at all, but she didn't look like a person without knowledge.
It's just that she said that she couldn't remember who her surname was, but Beigongchen didn't believe it.
Dong Cheng heard about what happened just now from the soldiers' personal guards, he stepped forward and said: "Since this girl has made meritorious contributions, she naturally wants to be rewarded, so it is better to enter Tanzhou City with us, and the matter of this reward will be discussed later." ”
Ji Yanning frowned slightly, and said to Dong Cheng: "I still have something to do, you will always have something valuable on your body now, right? I don't pick it, just give it a few dozen taels or more than a hundred taels of silver." ”
As she said this, she naturally stretched out her hand towards Dong Cheng and spread it out in front of him.
Dong Cheng was stunned, but he didn't expect Ji Yanning to ask for something from him like this.
Beigong Chen, who was on the side, looked at Ji Yanning and said, "You don't remember who your surname is, where you live, what other important things do you have?"
Ji Yanning said: "Naturally, I went to find my family. ”
Dong Chengdao: "This person is in the vast sea, where are you going to find it?"
Ji Yanning hooked his lips and smiled, and said: "I don't think I'm a simple person, so naturally I won't be from an ordinary family, so I plan to go to Lindu to see if anyone knows me." ”
Hearing Ji Yanning's words, Dong Cheng laughed, if he hadn't heard that Ji Yanning's archery skills were superb just now, he wouldn't have seen that this girl looked like a young lady from a family.
Beigong Chen's eyes glanced at her and said, "Follow me, I will take you to the family member who Lindu will help you find." ”
The corners of Ji Yanning's mouth moved slightly, and he couldn't think of a reason to refute for a while.
If it is an ordinary person, she can be treated like this by the emperor, I am afraid that she will not be able to ask for it, but Ji Yanning does not want to have too much involvement with the people of Beiyan, she just wants to bring the bones back to Great Wei as soon as possible.
But if Beigong Chen refused, it seemed that she was even more strange.
After some thought, Ji Yanning had no choice but to nod and agree: "Okay." ”
Dong Cheng and Qiu Mu watched Ji Yanning reluctantly from the side, but they felt that this girl was really different from ordinary people.
The closest to here is Tanzhou City, so their army also went in the direction of Tanzhou City, and the emperor was injured, so he naturally had to find a place to rest for two days before returning to Lindu.
Ji Yanning comforted herself, anyway, she had been delayed for so long, and she didn't care about such a day or two.
The speed at which they returned to the city was not slow, and they had already entered Tanzhou City on the evening of the second day, and Ji Yanning and Beigongchen lived in the Dong Mansion together.
Don't worry about someone on the road who is not good for her, not to mention that she knows that Beigong Chen has always been a person who keeps her word, Ji Yanning didn't bother to disguise herself, washed her face, and then took a comfortable bath, when the maid came in and was about to dry her hair, she was a little stunned.
Just now it was obviously a tomboy like a mud monkey, but they didn't expect that just by taking a bath, they would become a beauty, how could they not be surprised.
Ji Yanning didn't know what they were thinking, so he just said, "Come and help me dry my hair." ”
The two maids came back to their senses, and then stepped forward to serve, but there was no previous slackness.
Ji Yanning was refreshed, and even ate an extra bowl of food, and suddenly remembered Dong Jinghuan's matter.
She looked at the maid who was waiting next to her and asked, "When I entered the mansion today, I saw a lady and a young lady with outstanding appearance, it should be Mrs. Dong and the eldest lady of the Dong family, right?"
Hearing Ji Yanning's question, the maid said truthfully: "That's Aunt Ge and Second Miss in our house." ”
Ji Yanning sighed softly.
In fact, she knew that when she treated Dong Jinghuan's face before, she helped Dong Jinghuan find out the traitor's maid, but Dong Jinghuan told her everything at home.
Her mother died of a sudden illness, her aunt was in charge of the back house of the house, and her father was preoccupied with government affairs, so she was not taken seriously at all.
Aunt Ge ruined her face, and her sister-in-law robbed her of her relatives, and the wedding date was half a month away.
Her eyes flashed slightly, just wait for Dong Jinghuan to solve these things by herself when she comes back, after all, people always have to learn to be strong.
Just put down the rebellion of King Qi, I wanted to come to Beigong Chen was very busy, Ji Yanning couldn't see him all day, and he was bored, so he planned to relax in the Dong Mansion, because she was the person brought by the emperor, the people in the palace naturally would not stop her.
The delicacy in Dong's mansion is good, Ji Yanning is relaxing in the mansion, but after walking around, he is a little bored, the scenery is good, but if he sees more, he will naturally be a little tired.
She took the maid and sat in a small pavilion behind the garden.
Suddenly, his eyes looked at the figures that seemed to be a man and a woman not far away.
Her eyes were excellent, and she could see that the woman's figure was Dong Jinghuan's sister, the second miss of the Dong family. As for the other man, Ji Yanning looked at him and was dressed well, and wanted to be a rich boy.
"When I get bored, I have a good show to watch. Ji Yanning muttered, and then walked around and walked to the back porch not far from them.
The maid who followed Ji Yanning was completely unaware of her intentions, and when she walked to the corner of the back porch, she found the voice of the second lady.
Ji Yanning pretended to be very surprised, and then looked at the maid with some embarrassment, and was in a dilemma for a while, so he pulled the maid to stand aside, and whispered to the maid: "We'll go over when they leave." ”
The maid lowered her eyes and let the guests see the private meeting between the second lady and the foreign man, which was indeed a little inappropriate.
Ji Yanning and the maid hid outside the back porch and heard the words of the second lady of the Dong family and the man.
"Where is the emperor so easy to see, not to mention that my father will not agree, if you want to get in, it is even more impossible. ”
Ji Yanning heard the words of the second miss of the Dong family, and felt a little cowardly, and her bones were about to be crispy.
The man said, "It's okay not to see it, I don't want to embarrass you." ”
"Liao Lang, it's me who is not good, and I can't do anything for you. The second lady of the Dong family said, "If my sister is here, you don't have to be so embarrassed." ”
The man said: "Mention her to do anything, my heart has always been pretending to be you." ”
Miss Dong Er asked: "Then what if my sister's face is good, she is the first beauty in Tanzhou, aren't you impressed?"
"But she's not anymore. ”
Ji Yanning heard the man's indifferent voice.
