Thinking of those strange birds, Chu Ning couldn't help but rub his forehead again, listening to Jing Yuanyi's meaning, those birds turned out to be killers hired by someone, and this place in the Jin Kingdom was really weird.
The overcast wind cleared, and a large full moon reappeared in the sky. Ji Chongguang made a gesture of looking up at the moon and said to Jing Yuanyi: "Aren't you going to see if the escorted princess is okay?" That's the main mother of your Jing family. β
Jing Yuan turned his inquiring gaze to Chu Ning, and Chu Ning was rare to be kind to him: "She was sleeping when I came out, it's good to go and take a look, I'm also worried about her." β
The more he described it, the darker and darker he explained, and in Jing Yuanyi's ears, a thousand words meant the same thing: Ji Chongguang is here, you are redundant, hurry up and hide as far as you want. He saw a tuft of bird feathers on Chu Ning's cheek, and raised his hand to brush it off for her, but Chu Ning immediately raised his hand in a panic to cover his face, shook his head vigorously, and motioned him to hurry up.
Jing Yuanyi's hand froze in mid-air, and he laughed self-deprecatingly: "What a little beauty with no conscience...... "After speaking, he didn't dwell on it, turned around and left.
When he was far away, Ji Chongguang jumped down from the tree with a "hula" and walked in front of Chu Ning step by step. The nine-tailed monkey was originally standing on Ji Chongguang's shoulder, but Ji Chongguang raised his hand and flicked it on his forehead, bared his teeth at Chu Ning, turned around and jumped onto the big tree next to him, and disappeared in the dense branches and leaves.
Chu Ning stood in place at a loss, Ji Chongming's eyes were out of sight, but she always felt an invisible pressure falling on her. The man stopped in front of her, and as soon as he looked down, he bit her lip accurately, and his tongue burst into her mouth without saying a word.
"Hmm......" Chu Ning subconsciously raised his hand to push, but his hand was held by Ji Chongguang, and then his five fingers slid directly into her fingers and shook her ten fingers.
There was a cold smell on him, presumably the wind, frost and sand stained by the night hurry. was restrained by his tough and domineering, Chu Ning spinelessly softened, and his other hand quietly rested on his waist.
Ji Chongguang tightened his arms with satisfaction, pressed her tightly against his chest, and his lips and teeth left her lips and moved down along the delicate and silky curve of her neck.
Chu Ning struggled to withdraw his hand, suppressed his movements, and said angrily: "Okay, the guards escorting him are still there." β
With just one sentence, he successfully provoked Ji Chongguang to attack the city again, and bit her lip a few times as if he was punishing, and only let go when he saw that she was honest.
Chu Ning learned obediently this time, stood honestly, lowered his eyebrows, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Aren't you blind, how did you find it so accurately?" β
Ji Chongguang stretched out his finger and wiped it on his lips: "I found it by smelling it." β
Chu Ning "cut" and muttered in a low voice: "When you were looking for Yunle, you also smelled it." β
Ji Chongguang raised his face, took a deep breath, and slowly spit out a word: "Sour." β
Chu Ning was angry in his heart, obviously he was the one who should be angry, why did he come, the situation changed, he hinged his clothes with his fingers, and his face looked angry.
Ji Chongguang stretched out his arm and let her lean on herself: "If you don't bring Yunle out, Queen Qi will not be reconciled, and it is better to keep her by my side than to let them think of other ways?" Isn't it? β
This can be regarded as an explanation, Chu Ning naturally thought that with Ji Chongguang's deceit, it was impossible to enter the bureau set by Queen Qi so easily, but in her heart, there was another problem in mind. She leaned on Ji Chongguang's chest and asked, "In addition to this, is it also because Yun Le's cheek has the scar that was removed from me?" β
Ji Chongguang didn't speak for a long time, so long that Chu Ning almost thought that he didn't plan to answer this question, and then he slowly spoke: "I can't see any scars, but when Yunle approaches me, the pain in my eyes can indeed be alleviated a little. β
To put it mildly, in fact, every time he lost his sight, it was as if he had been cut by a knife repeatedly, and the pain was excruciating. This time he was struck by the Xuancang Shatter, and he had been blind for longer than before, and the pain was more intense than any time, according to Jun Wang, it was a sign that the power that had accumulated in his eyes was about to be activated.
Chu Ning stretched out his hands and gently covered his eyes, and the slightly cool fingertips touched his skin. Ji Chongguang's heart moved, and he grabbed her hand and clasped it on his cheek: "Jing's family is not peaceful, maybe I ...... with you"
He had always been concise and to the point, but at this time he hesitated for a rare moment, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips slightly, like the glimmer of morning light into the boundless dark night: "We will meet often." β
When it was almost dawn, the nine-tailed monkey slid down from the tree nimbly, gently put a tail on Ji Chongguang's shoulder, and "squeaked" twice in his mouth, signaling that it was time for him to go. It wasn't until this time that Chu Ning saw that Ji Chongguang was using this nine-tailed monkey as a guide monkey, relying on its guidance to find the direction accurately.
"Ning Ning is obedient ......" Ji Chongguang raised his hand and stroked the head of the nine-tailed monkey, Chu Ning's face turned green again, and he had the same name as a monkey, so he could figure it out.
The accompanying guards brought by Forget Worry were carefully selected, and they were not just ordinary soldiers, some of whom were also proficient in magic. With these people guarding, he forgot his worries and was safe and sound, but he was awakened by the sound outside, and sat with his clothes in his arms.
When Chu Ning returned to the tent, Jing Yuanyi had already withdrawn, and she sat down beside Forget Worry and told her about the situation outside.
is different from Chu Ning's reading and miscellaneous, forgetting worries in the past, under the influence of his biological mother, he really read a lot of books, and knows a little about the history of various places in the vast land of China.
After listening to Chu Ning's words, she lowered her head and muttered for a long time, and said to Chu Ning: "There is one thing, I think I should still tell you that after choosing that I would come to marry far away, Jing Han once looked for me in private. He promised the queen that he would supply Dongqi with good weapons, but he came to me in the hope that I could help him do another thing, he was not willing to serve a child as the head of the family in the future, he wanted to be the master of the family himself. β
"You promised?" Chu Ning asked rhetorically.
Forget Worry shook his head: "I just dealt with him a few words, at that time, he was afraid of being bumped into by others, and then left in a hurry." Perhaps it was this incident that angered him, and he decided to get rid of me. β
According to the account of forgetting worries and the information provided by the Eastern Qi Rite Officials, Jing's method of passing on the throne to the younger son has been for many years, and the older sons have not raised any objections because they have gained the real power to manage the family affairs, but they have lost the name of the head of the family but have benefited.
Chu Ning unconsciously twisted his fingers and thought for a moment before saying, "Even if it is a person from the Jing clan, it will not go against human nature. He just met with you in a hurry, and it would be too unusual for him to kill you with such a ruthless attack just because you didn't immediately agree to cooperate with him. β
"What's more," Chu Ning thought as he continued, "What accident happened to you on the way, the head of the Jing family, even for the sake of his own face, has to track down the murderer, and at that time, will he definitely be able to escape safely?" Being a person and doing things is the same as buying and selling things, and the benefits must outweigh the possible consequences, and these people are willing to take risks. I think that it may not be Jing Han who started it, maybe the deity is in Jing's house, we haven't seen it yet, but he or she must know clearly that you are coming. β
Forget Worry's face, in the dim light, a little pale, she smiled reluctantly: "Life is really ironic, one of the people I used to look down on the most was the queen, but now, her future and Forget Huan's future are tied together, I have to fight here for the two of them to sit back and relax." β
Chu Ning remembered the way she looked out of the bedroom window before, and raised her hand and patted her on the shoulder: "No matter what, I will do my best to accompany you." β
The procession of relatives walked for another day, and in the evening they arrived outside the city of Jing. The Jing clan had already received the news early and sent their retainers to wait outside the city gate.
The retainer saw Chu Ning and forgot his worries, first informed his name Xu Cheng, and then sent a silk handkerchief densely written with small characters, and politely said: "The princess is tired, she should have asked the princess to enter the city as soon as possible to rest, but the princess's status is precious, and it is already late today, so it is too unceremonious to enter the city at night." Please take a rest outside the city tonight, this handkerchief has already written the ritual etiquette of entering the city tomorrow morning, the princess still has any questions, I can also leave a slave to answer the princess's questions......"
On this occasion, Forget Worry naturally sat steadily and dignifiedly, Chu Ning took the handkerchief from his hand, glanced at it, three or four of the ten words did not recognize, Jing's use of the language of the Jin State was very different from that of the Eastern Qi Dynasty. Chu Ning glanced at it and only felt that his head was big, and Xu Cheng in front of him was still babbling non-stop, and the words were reversed to say how much the head of the family valued this princess of Dongqi, and how grand the entrance ceremony would be tomorrow.
In front of outsiders, Chu Ning couldn't take the handkerchief directly to ask about his worries. According to the general idea, the celebrant was usually a learned man, and one of the purposes of the entourage was to remind the princess not to make mistakes in her words and deeds. If this officiant wants to ask the princess herself with a word he doesn't know, it will be a strange thing in the world.
When Xu Cheng finally intercepted the conversation, Chu Ning smiled slightly and responded: "It's hard work, there is no need to teach, please arrange someone to come over early tomorrow morning, and we will tell you the agreed etiquette for entering the city." She raised the handkerchief in her hand: "We will definitely refer to the things on this carefully." β
"This ......," Xu Cheng's mask-like flattering smile froze on his face, "It's not a reference, it's that the princess will enter the city according to this ceremony tomorrow." He glanced at Chu Ning, and his smile was a little cold: "The princess came here, isn't she just going to be the wife and concubine of the Jing family, shouldn't she enter the city according to the etiquette of the Jing family." β
