"Master, does the man hiding behind the Buddha statue need help?" The leading man in black made a gesture of wiping his neck.

The woman burning the paper said in a cold voice: "Let's deal with it together!"

Ji Yu quickly jumped out and said, "Big sister, please show mercy, please show mercy, I am a good person."

The woman still looked noble and cold, with no expression on her face: "Why should I show mercy?"

"I have been without a mother since I was young, and have depended on my father for many years. My father passed away when I was eight years old. I have lived to this age alone, and it has not been easy. Please consider it a good deed and let me go!"

On the one hand, Ji Yu's words were meant to highlight his own ill-fated fate, hoping that the woman would sympathize with him and give him a chance to live.

On the other hand, Ji Yu felt that he had hinted clearly enough. He had been without a mother since childhood and depended on his father, who died early.

However, the woman in front of him did not understand the hint in his words, and asked coldly: "So? Do you think I should let you go just because you feel sorry for me? There are so many pitiful people in this world, and I don't have so much kindness."

Ji Yu saw that the knife in the secret guard's hand was very close to him, so he quickly hid behind the woman.

"Sister, sister! I just turned sixteen last month! I'm still young!"

The three words "sixteen years old" seemed to remind the woman of something.

My younger brother is only sixteen years old. If he were alive, he must be about the same age as the boy in front of me!

"Forget it, just go!" The woman sighed, but she couldn't bear it after all.

Ji Yu felt that the woman in front of him was too dull! !

But after leaving the temple, Ji Yu felt unwilling to give up, so he turned around and said, "Sister, please help me burn some paper money! My father's death anniversary is also in the next few days."

Before the woman could speak, the secret guard beside her started to curse: "Who do you think you are? Our lords are of noble status, how can we burn paper for someone like you!"

The woman waved her hands, and seemed to not bother with him too much because of Ji Yu's young age.

Instead, he asked, "Tell me your father's name, and I'll ask the guards to burn some for you."

Ji Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and uttered three words with his thin lips slightly parted: "Ji Yizhi."

Hearing the name Ji Yizhi, the woman was very excited. She rushed to the door, pressed Ji Yu's shoulders tightly and asked, "Your father's name is Ji Yizhi! Are you sure it's Ji Yizhi!"

Ji Yu nodded in confusion, "Yes! My father's name is Ji Yizhi, and I'm Ji Yu. I've been living with my father since I was a child, and I've never seen my mother."

Ji Yizhi and Ji Yu had never seen their mother since they were young. Putting this long string of information together, she could only think of one answer.

The woman asked again, "What's your mother's name?"

Ji Yu pretended to be mysterious and said, "I can't tell you. My mother is the most noble person in the world. Before my father died, he said that my mother's name should not be mentioned casually."

When the woman heard this, she was certain that Ji Yu was her long-lost brother.

She hugged Ji Yu excitedly: "Xiao Yu, I'm your sister! My name is Wei Guang Shi Jin."

Weiguang is the surname of this dynasty, and the people are familiar with it.

Ji Yu immediately showed an expression of surprise and took out a jade pendant from his arms to prove his identity.

After seeing the jade pendant, Wei Guang Shi Jin became more certain of his identity.

Weiguang Shijin was already beginning to feel guilty, as he had almost killed his own brother just now.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyu. I was impulsive just now and almost got someone hurt you." Shi Jin's tone was full of guilt.

Ji Yu looked at Shi Jin's expression in the dim light, which changed again and again, from indifference at the beginning to enthusiasm now.

This change in attitude is really interesting.

Ji Yu quickly comforted her: "Thanks to sister for rescuing me, otherwise I would have been killed by those thieves just now. I should thank you very much, sister."

When the thieves were mentioned, Wei Guang Shi Jin suddenly remembered to ask about their origins and reasons.

The two walked towards the outside of the temple, and Ji Yu told her everything he had experienced over the years along the way.

"Since you have already found the husband of the general's mansion, why don't you let him take you back to the capital."

Ji Yu smiled bitterly, his tone full of helplessness: "When Miss Yun asked me to stay, I wanted to stay to repay her. I grew up here and I like Mobei very much. But now I don't like it anymore... It's time to leave."

Seeing Ji Yu's dejected expression, Wei Guang Shi Jin hurriedly comforted her, "This Yun Tiao Tiao! She dared to make my brother sad. I will let Yue Ying teach her a lesson."

Ji Yu and Wei Guang Shi Jin chatted all the way and got to know the names of these secret guards. The man who saw Yue Ying had the highest combat power in the whole team.

Ji Yu quickly refused: "No! The General's Mansion has been very good to me over the years. Zhengfu treats me like his own child. The General also thinks highly of me. Miss Yun is also a close friend of mine. Even the Second Miss is very nice..."

Seeing his younger brother's sad look, Wei Guang Shi Jin felt that even if he didn't teach her a lesson, he would let her suffer a little.

The two of them got into a luxurious carriage together.

"Then shall we return to the capital?"

Ji Yu nodded and said to her, "Dad's body is buried outside the Great Desert City, under a poplar tree fifty kilometers to the north. We just need to pass by it on our way back to the capital."

Wei Guang Shi Jin searched for a long time, and finally found out that his father died in a dilapidated temple in the city, but he still didn't know where he was buried.

She couldn't even find the exact date, so she decided to burn paper in the temple to comfort the dead.

"good."

Ji Yu continued, "When Daddy was dying, he said that if he was buried under that tree, he would be able to see the capital. Can we take Daddy home with us?"

Shi Jin rubbed his head and replied gently, "Of course, I came out this time to take you two home."

The two men quickly left the city, and shortly after they left the city, Yun Zhengfu asked someone to block the city gate in order to quickly catch the thieves.

The two of them left the city and soon found the small hill that Ji Yu had mentioned. The only poplar tree on the top of the hill rustled in the north wind of the desert.

The poplar tree seemed to know that Ji Yu would never return to the desert, so it swayed its trunk to say final goodbye to him.

"Do you want to come back in the future?" Shi Jin asked.

Ji Yu shook his head: "It's bitterly cold at the border, and the wind and sand are too strong. I don't really like it here."

When they were planning to stay in the desert, Ji Yu and Zhengfu said: I like the yellow sand in the desert and the changeable weather here.

When I left, I unexpectedly used the same answer.

Once upon a time, Ji Yu really thought about staying here.

After completing the mission, he accompanied Yun Tiaotiao to find a secluded residence in Mobei City and spend the rest of his life in peace.
