Yu Jiao: "I'm not going to Xianyang, I want to go back to the capital."

There must be a lot of injured soldiers in the city. She rushed back to the capital. Although she couldn't help in other ways, she could rescue the wounded.

"Come with me to Xianyang. Ji Wudao's 100,000-strong army is besieging the capital. Do you know what this means?"

Yu Jiao knew that she was not a smart person, and could even be said to be a little stupid. She could not think of any brilliant strategy that could easily resolve the siege of Kyoto. But the man she loved had promised to be one with his wife and live and die together when they had defended the capital and got married. Now it was time to put it into practice.

"Even if it means I will die, I will go." Yu Jiao said, "There is no shortage of smart people in this world. I am a stupid person."

Cheng Ying's face darkened slightly, and she stood up suddenly, her eyes cold as she said, "You want to go back and die? It's up to you!"

After following Yu Jiao for so many days, he felt more and more sad. Her heart was all for Yu Qizhe. She was even like those women who wanted to die for men. She wanted to go back to the capital and die with Yu Qizhe. Then what was he? Did he, her senior brother, leave the slightest trace in her heart?

Has she long forgotten Fu Chuan, the man she grew up with?

Watching Cheng Ying walk out of the restaurant with her sleeves swung, Yu Jiao stood up and took a step but then stopped. She and Cheng Ying were not the same kind of people. Cheng Ying was going back to Xianyang to find Emperor Ming Zheng, while she had wanted to return to the capital from the beginning. It would be better for them to go their separate ways here.

"Bai Lu, you take Fei Ge'er and stay in Beizhili. If the war in the capital gets worse, you can take Fei Ge'er back to Qingzhou."

Meng Fei's foot is still injured, and Yu Jiao cannot take him with her on the journey. Once she arrives in the capital, she may not be able to enter the city, and she cannot leave Fei Ge'er alone. Bai Lu has martial arts skills, so it would be more appropriate to take her with her in case they encounter any danger.

Meng Fei nodded sensibly. He actually wanted to stay with his elder sister, but he knew that his leg was injured and following his elder sister would only be a burden.

They could stay in this restaurant. Yu Jiao left several hundred taels of silver notes for Fei Ge'er and Bai Lu, asked the waiter for two upper rooms, and told Jianjia about a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs for treating external injuries, and asked Jianjia to buy as many as possible from the clinic in the city. She thought that with so many wounded soldiers, the medicinal herbs in Shengjing City might not be enough.

Cheng Ying stood at the door of the restaurant with a chill all over his body. He waited for a long time, but Yu Jiao didn't come out. He became even angrier.

A girl standing nearby saw that he had beautiful eyebrows and a high nose bridge. Although he had a cold face, he was handsome and unparalleled. She couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Cheng Ying raised her eyelids, and her eyes were cold and gloomy. The girl was so scared that her face turned pale. She didn't dare to look at him anymore, and turned away quickly.

When Jianjia went out and saw that he had not left, she nodded slightly as a greeting and went to the medical clinic in the city to buy some medicinal herbs.

"Superintendent." A man dressed in ordinary clothes walked up to Cheng Ying and whispered, "The carriages and horses are ready. Xia Shaocheng wrote to tell me about the situation in the capital and asked when you will return to the capital."

Cheng Ying left with the man and said indifferently, "Write him back and tell him I won't be returning to Beijing for the time being."

The man hesitated for a moment. The governor said that not returning to the capital meant that he didn't care about the life or death of the capital. The capital would not be able to wait for reinforcements from Xianyang Guards for the time being.

After Jianjia came back from buying herbs and loaded them into the car, Yu Jiao said goodbye to Fei Ge'er and set off for Kyoto with the others.

After walking for a while, they stopped at a roadside tea stall to rest and ordered some hot soup. There were many people on the road, carrying bags and their families, hurrying along.

The owner of the tea stall sighed and said, "They are all fleeing from outside Shengjing. I don't know how many days my tea stall can be open."

"You are the one who welcomes and sees off guests here. Do you know the news in the capital?" Yu Jiao placed a piece of silver on the table and asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper lowered his voice and said, "The towers are all stained with blood. There are a large number of rebels. It's already the second day, and no reinforcements have come to redress the injustice. There is no news about our emperor. It is said that something may have happened to him. The person from the Imperial Household Department beside him has not shown up. Maybe he has already escaped."

Yu Jiao, who had just separated from Cheng Ying, pursed her lips and smiled faintly. It turned out that this was how people outside speculated about Cheng Ying.

She really didn't think that Cheng Ying would ever run away. He didn't look like someone who valued his life. Instead, he looked like someone who was impatient with living.

After having tea and food, Yu Jiao signaled to Jianjia to settle the bill. The guards took the fodder prepared in the tea shed to feed the horses and prepared to continue on their journey. Suddenly, a group of ragged people came on the road. They looked more like beggars than people. This group of people rushed into the tea shed.

Seeing that they were coming in a threatening manner, Yu Jiao stood up and wanted to take Jianjia and the others away, but she didn't expect that the group of people were actually coming towards them.

Having been robbed by Ji Wudao's men before, Yu Jiao was very careful along the way and even deliberately avoided taking the official road into Beijing. Unexpectedly, she still ran into trouble again.

The people who were guarding Yu Jiao quickly protected her behind them and stopped the group of beggars, while Jianjia protected Yu Jiao and walked to the carriage.

The beggars did not know how to fight, but they surrounded the carriage. When the guards started to move, they lay on the ground to block the road, shouting, "Please give us some food, we are starving to death."

"If you want to eat, you should go to the tea stall. I don't have anything to eat here." Yu Jiao said coldly.

However, this group of people seemed not to hear anything and blocked the way like scoundrels, preventing Yu Jiao and the others from leaving.

Yu Jiao endured it. She had to hurry on her way, so she had to keep the peace and let Jianjia throw them a silver ingot, saying, "This is enough for you to fill your stomach at the tea stall."

The group took the silver but still refused to move. Yu Jiao's face turned completely cold and she asked warily, "What is your purpose?"

Among the group of people, a scoundrel laughed and said, "We don't have wives yet. Come back with us and be our wife. Let us have a taste of what it's like..."

Yunxiao, the secret guard Liu Ziqi assigned to Yu Jiao, frowned, drew the long sword from his waist and slashed at the man. With a flick of the sword, the man's arm was gone and he screamed in agony.

Yun Xiao shouted, "If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

These people shrank back a step or two, but still refused to give way.

Yu Jiao had no intention of getting entangled with these people, and whispered to Yun Xiao: "Let's go another way."

Wei San immediately turned his horse around, and the group of beggars saw this and immediately came up to him again.

Yu Jiao found it very strange. If these people were sent by Ji Wudao, they should have captured her and threatened Yu Qizhe, but these people just blocked her way. Who was behind this?

Yun Xiao raised the blood-stained sword and said coldly: "If you want to die, then leave your life behind!"

The other guards also drew their swords, and the three Jinyiwei drew their Xiuchun swords. Seeing the cold light of the swords, these people finally became a little scared and retreated a little.
