Half a day later, a messenger came to the cell.

"Hey, you." The person who came pointed to Jin Jiaojiao and said, "Say you, come out, our boss wants to see you alone."

Liu Xuanhe asked uneasily, "What can you say about this eldest brother? Why do we need to meet alone?"

"Who is your eldest brother, you don't look older than me?" The messenger didn't buy it, "If you come out, come out, where is so much nonsense."

Jin Jiaojiao followed the man out of the cell, only to see the world outside, the orange-red sun hung in the west sky, the fiery autumn sunset surrounded this mountain col, the stockade was not big, built on the mountain, the various outposts on the city wall stood guards, and the bandits in the square stood in columns, shouting slogans and drilling.

Jin Jiaojiao pondered in her heart, although this group of people fell into the mountains, everything was quite orderly. It's no wonder that Tan Gu's people didn't attack here, if they really want to fight, winning or losing is not certain.

The village was drying herbs, from time to time chickens and ducks were coming out of the small corner, a group of children were lying under the big trees and teasing insects, and a few women were sewing and making something.

It can be seen that the village has been simply decorated, and it should be prepared for Mei Qicheng's relatives.

Jin Jiaojiao felt that this was not like a bandit's den, but more like a peaceful small tribe outside the world.

She was taken to a relatively chic courtyard, and Mei Qi stood idly at the door, playing with a dagger in her hand, and said to her unceremoniously: "Go in, see him for the last time, so that he can die."

With that, he stepped aside and played with the bark of the tree.

It's not that Mei Qi wants to see herself, then it can only be ......

According to Liu Xuanhe, Mei Qi misunderstood the relationship between the three of them, and Jia Ming was the person who could never have a name in that story.

Jin Jiaojiao took a deep breath and pushed the door open, sooner or later, she had to face it.

The interior of the house is even more festive, with red candles on the candlesticks, a large red quilt on the bed, and tables and chairs specially decorated with red silk.

Jin Jiaojiao remembered that their newlywed room was also so festive, but on the wedding night, she slept in the wedding room, while Zhao Bingyu slept next door.

Counting the time, they are still a newlywed.

"You're here."

Zhao Bingyu sat on the wooden chair with an expressionless face, wearing the night clothes of that night, which made him very thin, and there was a big red wedding robe on the wooden pole next to the horizontal frame, which made him even more cold.

Jin Jiaojiao was froze by his words without temperature, and she didn't know how to talk, she was going to preemptively investigate him for concealing her assistance to Liu Xuanhe before she came.

Obviously close at hand, she clearly felt that the relationship between the two was even worse than two days ago.

"How's your body? But what's wrong?"

"It's all right."

"That's fine."

After a shriveled conversation, the two fell silent, the air seemed to freeze, and time passed without a trace.

After a long time, the corners of Zhao Bingyu's mouth raised a self-deprecating arc, and said in a statement tone: "It turns out that you have always wanted to marry someone like Liu Xuanhe, you actually knew that you had a marriage contract."

"No, it's not." Jin Jiaojiao immediately retorted, "I only heard my grandfather mention it after I arrived in Yangzhou, when my father wrote a letter to ask for help from Liu Yeping, who had just arrived in Fuzhou to report on his work, to no avail, and after this incident, he fell into his father's heart, and the Jin family also broke off contact with the Liu family, and my marriage with Liu Xuanhe was stopped."

Zhao Bingyu concluded, "So you do want to marry someone like him."

He seems to be deliberately stabbing himself in the heart, what kind of person Jin Jiaojiao wants to marry is known to the whole capital, let alone him?

But when he heard her make a choice to give herself to others, he would be so uncomfortable that his heart ached, and even if he was a disciple of Chisong Zhenren, he had cultivated himself for many years, but he still couldn't restrain it; Even if he knew that it was what she said in her illness, he might not be true, but he got into the horns of the bull and stubbornly believed that the choice she made might be the truest thought hidden in her heart.

He couldn't force himself to think on the bright side.

"Those were just delusions from a long time ago." Jin Jiaojiao's explanation paled in comparison.

Zhao Bingyu turned his head to look at the wedding robe on the shelf, and sighed, "If I hadn't appeared in the capital at that time......

Jin Jiaojiao interrupted his later words and explained, "It was a side effect of the Divine Power Pill before, what I said and did was not my true words, nor was it my intention, you don't take it to heart."

"It's okay, after all, it's my own affection, after today, you and I will return to the bridge and the road, and from now on, we will never see each other again in this life."

"You, what do you mean?" Jin Jiaojiao felt as if her heart had been pinched hard, and she was uncomfortable to death, and asked him softly uncertainly, "You said this on purpose, right, in order to hide people's eyes?"

Zhao Bingyu lowered his eyes, there was no emotion in his eyes, as if he really didn't care, "Literally, I just asked you to come to make it clear to you, okay, you can go."

Jin Jiaojiao doesn't remember what happened two days ago at all, and the grievances in her heart are like a flood of beasts, as if another person has done something wrong, but she has to bear the consequences, the more she thinks about it, the more sour it becomes.

However, she has a strong temperament, if you are strong, she will only be stronger than you, Jin Jiaojiao tightly clasped the flesh in the palm of her hand in her sleeves, eager to insert her nails into the flesh, but her face pretended to be light and light, and said calmly: "Since this is the case, then I will congratulate Gongzi Jia on his new marriage."

Outside, the bark of the tree was about to be shaved bald by Mei Qi, and the red sun sank a little more to the mountain, and then a woman came, about forty, wearing coarse linen clothes, and still charming with a smile, this person is Mei Qi's godmother Gu.

"Godmother, you're here."

Gu Shi held a round wooden plate in his hand, on which were placed osmanthus essential oil and a wooden comb.

"I'm here to comb your hair and your new aunt's hair, what time is it, don't miss the auspicious time."

Mei usually grinned a lot, and her daughter was a man's heart, but after listening to Gu's words, she suddenly revealed her little daughter's thoughts, blushed all of a sudden, and took Gu's hand and walked into the room, "It's still the godmother who loves Mei Qi the most."

As soon as they entered, the gloomy two people in the room had just finished speaking, and Mei Qi ordered his subordinates, "Come on, take her down."

Jin Jiaojiao turned around and walked out, her eyes swept over Gu's, and she passed by, curious: This woman's eyebrows and eyes are actually eighty percent similar to Tan Gu's seventh aunt Tai Yu Xi, and to prepare for it, Yu Xi's appearance is similar to her.

With the last trace of sunset hidden into the sky, the village also ushered in a celebration, stewed chickens and ducks are full of fragrance, men, women and children are festive, singing and dancing, Jin Jiaojiao and Liu Xuanhe were also released to watch the ceremony together.

The bride and groom are holding red silk ropes, followed by two cute little flower girls carrying flower baskets and sprinkling beautiful flowers. The witch doctor acts as a celebrant and recites auspicious greetings.

Jin Jiaojiao stared at Zhao Bingyu in the groom's clothes, and felt that this scene was very eye-catching, and the congratulatory words were also obstructive.

Zhao Bingyu didn't look at them from beginning to end.

Soon after the ceremony, Mei Qi's subordinates packed Jin Jiaojiao and Liu Xuanhe into sacks and transported them down the mountain.

"You two go, the great boss is merciful, and this time I will spare your life."

By the time the two of them broke free from the sacks, the man who had escorted them down the mountain had disappeared.

The dark and deep West Mountain stood in front of them, as if silently staring into their abyss.

"Miss Jin, let's go back to Yangzhou City soon."

Jin Jiaojiao said, "Lord Liu, you go back to Yangzhou City to move the rescue soldiers, and I will stay."

Liu Xuanhe was puzzled, grabbed her, and anxiously wanted to pull her away, "No, this place is dangerous, don't worry, Brother Jia's life will not be in danger for the time being."

"Lord Liu, listen to me, this Xiaoxi Mountain is steep, we don't know how many traps Mei Qi has set up in this mountain, I sprinkled incense powder along the way down the mountain just now, you go back to Yangzhou to move the rescue troops, I will return the same way to mark for you, and when the time comes, we should join forces inside and outside, and fight the bandits by surprise.

Liu Xuanhe hesitated.

"The longer it drags on, the more variables there are, and only by splitting up can we save time."

There is a high probability that Tan Gu thought that they had

After fate, if it is found that they are still alive in the world, and then they will be attacked by the enemy, this is not comparable to the capital, Liu Xuanhe can transfer limited manpower, and after weighing, Liu Xuanhe agreed to Jin Jiaojiao's proposal.

"Miss Jin's righteousness, I admire it, take care, we'll see you later."

"Definitely."

The two went their separate ways.
