Chapter 693: Leaving Chang'an
Rong Che was secretly investigating people who might reveal Ji Yanning's identity, and Yuan Wu also made people keep an eye on those beggars, but they didn't gain anything.
It was as if it only appeared for a moment and then disappeared.
Since she couldn't find anyone, Ji Yanning asked Yuan Wu to withdraw the person, and such a painless attack didn't have much impact on her.
Even if someone believes it, it can't shake her status now.
A month later, Yuan Jiaojiao gave birth to a baby girl named Duan Shu.
Duan Shu is a girl who likes to make noise, she cries very loudly, sometimes Yuan Jiaojiao feels a headache, every time this happens, it is the child's father who goes to coax him to stop.
Despite this, this child is not a crying bag, and when Ji Yanning hugged her, he didn't recognize her at all.
This child is really pleasing to people, Ji Yanning gave her a golden lock and recognized her as her goddaughter.
Watching Ji Yanning teasing the child, Yuan Jiaojiao sighed: "Don't look at her very well-behaved now, I don't want to admit that I am her mother when I cry, I can only let the nurse coax her." ”
Ji Yanning smiled and said, "After all, the child is still young, not to mention that Duan Shaoqing is also very concerned. ”
When Duan Wuflaw was mentioned, Yuan Jiaojiao smiled and nodded: "Well, he is very concerned." ”
Although so many people in the mansion take care of this little Duan Shu, Duan Wufang is very concerned about both Xiao Duan Shu and Yuan Jiaojiao, and even if there is a tricky case, he will find a way to come back early.
Yuan Jiaojiao looked at Ji Yanning and said, "But you have to leave Chang'an in a few days, I can't bear you." ”
She likes Ji Yanning very much, in this world, it can be said that there are two people who changed her fate, one is her master Yuan Jing, and the other is Ji Yanning.
It was Ji Yanning who brought her back to Chang'an, and he has been protecting her, protecting her, and believing in her.
If it weren't for Ji Yanning, maybe she would still be wandering the rivers and lakes now, being a so-called thief in the rivers and lakes, walking all over one strange place after another, without friends, and she wouldn't feel the happiness she has now.
She likes Ji Yanning very much, and she feels that there is no better woman in the world than Ji Yanning.
Ji Yanning listened to her words, and was somewhat reluctant: "Xuanzhou is not too far, and it's not that there is no chance to meet again." ”
Yuan Jiaojiao thought for a while and said: "Xuanzhou is indeed a good place, I have been there once, but the prefect of Xuanzhou does not seem to be a good place to get along." ”
"You stole other people's money, and you still expect people to be good-looking?" Ji Yanning couldn't help but poke at her.
Yuan Jiaojiao's face turned red, and she argued: "My intuition is generally not wrong, not to mention that I never steal the money of the Qing officials, the Xuanzhou prefect is greedy a lot, I saw that he should not be able to spend it, so I kindly helped him spend the money." ”
Seeing her unintentional defense, Ji Yanning smiled dumbly.
Thinking of Yuan Jiaojiao at the beginning, it is probably with such a heart that she has been wandering the rivers and lakes.
I don't know if Yuan Jing would feel relieved if he could see Yuan Jiaojiao's current situation?
Ji Yanning also likes Yuan Jiaojiao very much, because Yuan Jiaojiao is different from other people, she is a very pure person, so that Ji Yanning can see her heart at a glance.
Coming back from the Duan Mansion, Ji Yanning seemed to have a faint sentimentality.
Once the prince goes to the fiefdom, it stands to reason that he cannot return to Chang'an without an edict.
Chang'an is of great significance to Ji Yanning.
She was born in Chang'an since she was a child, grew up in Chang'an, and is so familiar with everything here, although Yingfu and Loufu are no longer there, although those people have been wrong, but when she really wants to leave here, there is a faint reluctance in her heart.
In the past, she was not a sentimental person, but she had experienced so many things, and after understanding the previous things with her own hands, she seemed to feel a lot more hypocritical.
Rong Qi held a palace banquet, in order to practice for Rong Che.
Although they knew that King Xuan already had a princess, many families thought that it would be good if the girl in the family could be a side concubine, so many girls at the palace banquet dressed up in fancy ways to attract Rong Che's attention.
It's just that Rong Che turned a blind eye to them, and his gaze was much gentler only when he looked at Ji Yanning.
Although the other girls were a little unwilling, but looking at Ji Yanning's face, they didn't even feel the need to get angry, just with Princess Xuan's appearance, it was impossible for them to win King Xuan's attention.
Rong Qi and Rong Che grew up together since childhood, and their friendship is quite deep, even if many ministers feel that they should be afraid of Rong Che, but in Rong Qi's opinion, without Rong Che, he would not be able to get to where he is today.
The weather is getting cooler, and it's already autumn.
Rong Che and Ji Yanning also began to set off, intending to go to Xuanzhou.
The Liu family and his party came to see them off, and Ji Lang, who had always been strong, had red eyes.
Ji Yanning rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Lang'er has to be good in Chang'an, and you can go to Xuanzhou to find my sister when Taixue is on vacation." ”
Ji Lang nodded and did not speak.
Because I don't know what to say.
An's gave a lot of instructions, and his face was reluctant, just worried that the road was far away, and he was afraid that Ji Yanning would not be able to bear it, but he forgot that Ji Yanning had been gone for a year and a half.
Saying goodbye one by one, Ji Yanning stepped on a low stool and got into the carriage.
As the convoy moved slowly, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked back at the people standing at the city gate to see them off, her eyes a little hot.
These people are the ones who care about her.
Chang'an is drifting away, Ji Yanning's sad mood did not last long, she is a very open-minded person.
After walking for a few days, I arrived at a post house, and the convoy stayed in the post house tonight.
This inn is a bit remote, but it is undoubtedly a good place for people who come and go.
Ji Yanning asked for water, and after washing up well, he was sent food in.
When he goes out, the food is naturally not as good as the days in the house, but Ji Yanning is not squeamish, but he is used to it.
There were a lot of people who were in a hurry living in the inn, and Ji Yanning was not interested in them, so he played chess with Rong Che in the room.
Rong Che's chess skills have improved rapidly, and it can be said that he was playing with Ji Yanning, because Ji Yanning never showed mercy to his subordinates, but grew faster in failure, and occasionally could play a draw with Ji Yanning.
This is very rare.
After all, Ji Yanning's chess skills are very weird, and they are not something that ordinary people can parry.
However, he was destined to be unpleasing to this game of chess, and he didn't know how to fall after thinking about it for a while.
"Knock knock. ”
There was a knock on the door of the guards.
Rong Che raised his eyes and said, "Come in." ”
A guard walked in, stepped forward to salute, and immediately reported: "Lord Wang, there seems to be something wrong with the caravan that has been following us for the past two days. ”
Hearing the guard's words, Ji Yanning, who was holding a white child in his fingers, tilted his head and looked at him.
Rong Che put down the sunspot in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It doesn't look like a normal caravan. The guard said, "The first two days were peaceful, but tonight it seems that they are paying extra attention to our movements, although they are done in a hidden way, but it can be seen that these people are not good at stubble." ”
Ji Yanning listened to the guard's words and frowned slightly.
Now that she and Rong Che are already planning to go to Xuanzhou, how can anyone still follow in secret?
Rong Che said: "Keep an eye on the people first, if there is any movement, report it immediately, if they are really coming for us, don't be soft." ”
Although I don't know who will send them, if there is a threat to them, Rong Che will definitely not be relentless.
The guard answered yes and retreated.
Ji Yanning's slender fingers were still playing with the chess pieces in her hand, she looked at Rong Che and said, "Who do you think might have sent it?" Or is it just asking for money?"
Rong Che's eyes were a little cold, and he said: "Our identity is obvious, and we can't ask for wealth on our heads." ”
Ji Yanning nodded, thinking that it was also, looking at their posture, it was not something that ordinary people could provoke.
Unless they are outlaws and don't want to die, they dare to fight their ideas.
So these people can only come premeditated.
They had only been away from Chang'an for a few days, and some people couldn't help but want to do it, and Ji Yanning really couldn't guess who would do such a thing.
After all, the Xuanwang Mansion is going to move to Xuanzhou, and there will not be much entanglement with the people of Chang'an in the future.
To be able to do this and risk being discovered, the origin should be very deep.
However, Ji Yanning couldn't come up with someone after thinking about it for a long time.
But that doesn't stop them from being vigilant.
However, as if they were suspicious, the caravan following them did not move.
There was also a girl of the same age as Ji Yanning in the caravan, who was said to be the daughter of the caravan steward, and her husband was also on this escort mission.
When I was having breakfast in the morning, I saw her looking in the direction of Ji Yanning.
However, Ji Yanning ignored it, and after asking people to count the things, the palace and his party began to hurry.
The caravan stopped one of the guards, intending to consult with the people of the palace and hurry together.
These people are going to Yingzhou, and they are going to pass through Xuanzhou on the route, and they happen to be on the same road.
However, Rong Che directly rejected this proposal, he didn't want to bring anyone with him, and he was also a group of strangers who didn't know how to care.
After being rejected by Rong Che, although the people of the caravan were lost, they did not entangle too much, and just silently followed the team of the palace for a distance.
Because they were going to go the same way, even if they thought the caravan seemed strange, they couldn't expel people for some reason.
It seems that the people who know the palace are vigilant, and they don't get too close on weekdays, but the speed of the journey is about the same.
It has been more than half a month since they left Chang'an, and the weather is getting colder and colder, but they have brought enough thick clothes in the team that they will not feel cold even at night.
