Chapter 65: Sang Ji Sensing Something Was Wrong
Meanwhile, the Emperor sent someone to inquire about the progress.
Sang Ji didn't even glance at Wangyoujun.
He simply waved his hand, instructing his subordinates to continue keeping watch over Caocun.
As autumn deepened and the dew became heavy, he put on his outer robe and disappeared into the gloomy sky.
*
They were in exile for about half a month.
As she wore thicker and thicker clothes, she hurriedly asked for directions and vaguely realized that she had been chased to the border.
Even after reaching the border, they still won't stop?!
On the run, Liu Jiao was a wild child who used to spend her days wandering around the chicken coops in the mountains and keeping company with the animals that could not speak human language. Now that she was all alone, she was still quite content.
But after her trip to Beijing, she felt a pang of sadness upon encountering this loneliness and desolation again.
Liu Jiao was huddled inside a large wine vat, starving and cold.
In her daze, she thought.
If Sang Ji were here, that would be wonderful.
When Sang Ji was around, if anyone said she was tormenting her, he was always the first to appear and support her.
He never failed to satisfy her every desire.
For example, the night when two people sleep together.
She gets chills easily during her period, and even though he's so busy, he always makes time to come home every month when she has her period.
Letting him hold her, she naturally nestled into his warm embrace.
The boy's chest thumped loudly, full of energy and vitality, and felt warm against my chest.
He is also very clean.
She loves and cherishes things even more than a strictly disciplined young lady. With each breath, a particularly pleasant floral and herbal scent soothes the mind.
As she was thinking, Liu Jiao was in a daze. Leaning against the side of the tub, she suddenly yelped from the cold and was wide awake.
She sighed.
Instead of being in this cold, rigid vat.
Ouch!
It's good enough to have a tank for protection.
Look how pretentious she is.
Liu Jiao tried to hug herself tightly to draw out the heat.
Actually, she had mixed feelings about Sang Ji.
When things are bad, I remember all the bad things about him.
Now she's in danger, all alone, and has broken up with her boyfriend, but all she remembers about him are the good things he did for her, things she had previously overlooked.
She misses him a lot.
real.
Pooh.
In no mood.
I want a cat.
To divert attention, Liu Jiao began to ponder which force was chasing her.
I reckon it's because the Sang family wants to eliminate her completely.
But that doesn't make sense; there's no reason for it.
Sang Ji already has a princess, so there's no way he would even think about her.
Before she could think it through, the jar was shaken violently.
"Why isn't this jar solid?"
"Someone's there!"
Liu Jiao, who was just closing her eyes to sleep: "..."
Frog fun!!!
When the night was dark and the wind was high, Liu Jiao rushed into the wasteland.
Panting heavily.
In the distance, she saw a group of people stationed there.
Torches were burning.
I reckon it's a military camp.
But the problem is, putting aside the fact that the soldiers in the camp would shoot her as an enemy soldier if they saw someone suspicious, the fact that a young girl like her was trapped in the army camp was more torturous than being killed!
The one-track mind has become blocked at both ends.
Liu Jiao couldn't go forward or backward.
Oh my god!
The arrows behind her forced her to lie face down on the grass and slump down.
After a close encounter with the mud, you'll be covered in dust and dirt.
Just as she was about to blow herself up on the spot, she suddenly turned around to fight her pursuers to the death—
A rapid sound of horses' hooves came like a drumbeat appealing for justice.
The tall, red-maned horse stood protectively in front of Liu Jiao.
Liu Jiao, who was frozen stiff, was covered with a blanket.
It felt stuffy under the blanket.
The clanging and clattering sounds must indicate a fight.
After a short while, it became quiet.
Liu Jiao poked her head out.
The servants were reporting to the general on his red-maned horse, who was wearing a mask.
Liu Jiao was taken aback.
This Azure Dragon Mask—
Isn't this Princess Crescent Fox's husband from the Li family?
Upon seeing Liu Jiao's head appear, the masked general approached her.
The masked general's voice was hoarse and low as he warned, "This is not a place for you."
Liu Jiao remained still.
Beneath the mask, Li Du hardened his heart: "Drag him out."
His current situation is complicated, and he has to distance himself from Liu Jiao.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jiao grabbed Li Du's leg the next moment and refused to leave.
What a joke! How could she possibly walk back alone?
Relying on two legs and two empty hands?
I finally managed to find someone I know, so I have to ask him to escort me back.
Liu Jiao was clearly overthinking things, while Li Du was clearly underestimating them.
Liu Jiao looked at Li Du expectantly.
Li Du: "..."
He turned his head away, a little exasperated: "Ugh, don't look at me like that!"
Liu Jiao moved closer to him and continued to stare intently.
Li Du: "..."
He never knew how he agreed to stay with her.
Liu Jiao squinted her eyes in satisfaction and chuckled.
"What's your name?"
I'm older than you.
"It's not that much worse, we can just call them siblings..."
Li Du's eyes widened!
"...Haha, big brother, little brother."
Li Du coldly left only one sentence: "At most half a month. After half a month, you can leave. I won't be responsible for your poor food and lodging."
Then, he smeared ash on Liu Jiao's face to prevent some idiots in the military camp from noticing it.
While applying the ash, he secretly cupped his face.
So cute!
"Ahem, you can go now."
He then gave his subordinates a few more instructions.
The subordinate smiled knowingly. "Miss, please come this way."

In the teahouse, on the top floor of a private room, they seized the Second Prince's confidant.
Crescent Fox extended her palm, and Sang Ji, understanding, gave her a high five in celebration.
The two celebrated together the elimination of the remnants of the Second Prince's faction.
As always, they had a tacit understanding.
Looking out from the top, Sang Ji was at the highest point of the teahouse.
However, he bumped into Liu Jiao's maid, Sui Sui, on the street.
Sui Sui will stay in Huajing for the time being to handle matters, and will return to Liu Jiao's side once everything is settled.
He saw Sui Sui carrying a mahogany box to the embroidery workshop.
They also brought out a pile of gauze and bandages from the mansion.
After throwing away the gauze and bandages—
He even pointed to the mahogany box and said that the embroidery was no longer needed and he almost forgot to sell it.
That mahogany box...
Sang Ji was very familiar to Liu Jiao; she used to carry it with her when she was doing embroidery.
It was filled with her embroidery, stitch by stitch.
He saw everything she had tried so hard.
Sang Ji sensed something was wrong.
He let Sui Sui go for the time being, so as not to alert the enemy.
He secretly followed them all the way.
Nixi, year after year, came to the embroidery workshop.
He saw Sui Sui hand the box to the embroidery shop owner.
After a while, the embroidery shop owner gave them the money.
He followed her and discovered that Sui Sui had sold all her embroidery, even to someone who wanted to lower the price.
Sang Ji immediately frowned.
He strode over quickly to Sui Sui and angrily stopped her.
He was displeased with the embroidery shop owner and said, "This is the best embroidery, why should I sell it to you?"
Then, he snatched the box away and stuffed the silver notes back in.
The box was held tightly in his hands, like a chicken protecting its calf, and Sang Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned to Sui Sui and said in a deep voice, "She trusts you, and I trust her judgment of people. So, why are you selling? Tell me your reasons."
He bows his head year after year, lying that he's short of money.
She concealed the darting in her eyes.
Sang Ji grew impatient.
He interrupted him directly: "You're not short of money."
Sui Sui stopped talking.
Sang Ji, however, had already sensed something was wrong.
