Especially since the other person is very tall, they can protect him if anything happens on the road.
As the male lead, Xiao Yizhi still has this much self-protection awareness.
After running away from home, his first thought was to spend money to go to Kyoto with a bodyguard.
The bodyguard was a straightforward person, and seeing that he was just a teenager, he took good care of him along the way.
"Child! What are you doing going to Kyoto alone? Where are your parents?"
The lead镖师 (bodyguard/escort) urged his horse forward while tilting his head to ask Xiao Yizhi a question.
Xiao Yizhi lowered his head, feigning a pitiful appearance.
"Uncle bodyguard! It's just me and my dad left in my family. My dad went to Kyoto to deliver goods not long ago and hasn't come back since. I was worried that something had happened to him, so I thought I'd go find him."
Upon hearing this, the leading bodyguard looked reluctant to speak; this child was truly sensible.
He patted Xiao Yizhi on the shoulder to comfort him.
On the way, Xiao Yizhi was constantly on edge, afraid that if he ran away from home, someone would find him and bring him back.
If that's the case, it will be even harder for him to leave in the future.
His father was so ill that if he didn't return to Kyoto, he probably wouldn't even be able to see his father one last time.
Although the father and son lacked the affection of ordinary families, they were still blood relatives, bound together by a single-minded bond.
Everyday grudges should fade away when a loved one is seriously ill.
A day and a night passed, and Xiao Yizhi was not discovered.
He felt both fortunate and disappointed.
He thought to himself that if it were Yuan Huizhou who had left without saying goodbye, his aunt and son-in-law would probably have searched the entire Anqing Prefecture.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yizhi felt a pang of sadness and a very unpleasant feeling.
He was greedy!
Living with Zhen Wanwan these days, he has experienced many unique joys.
I also felt the warmth of family.
That's why he was unwilling to leave, but in order not to lose face, he insisted that he was there to accompany His Highness.
All of this was just an excuse he made up so he could enjoy the warmth of his family more.
"Everyone, let's rest here! Eat and drink our fill before continuing our journey!"
At the command of the lead镖师 (bodyguard/escort), everyone took their seats on the spot.
Xiao Yizhi silently took out his water bag and only dared to take a small sip.
He left in a hurry and didn't take any silver or food with him.
This water bag was given to him by a bodyguard who took pity on him.
"Child! Here, take this!"
Xiao Yizhi looked in the direction of the sound and saw the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) who had been leading the group. In the镖师's hand was a very appetizing flatbread.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Xiao Yizhi was also extremely hungry. Normally, even if someone stuffed pastries into his mouth, he would grit his teeth and refuse to eat a single bite.
He was worried about his father and didn't even have a chance to feel the hunger in his body.
If you worry too much now, your mind will return to a rational state.
Little did they know that all of this was being observed by others.
After a short while, everyone finished their meal and set off again.
The kindness shown by a single pancake had already opened Xiao Yizhi's heart.
The afternoon journey remained peaceful for Xiao Yizhi.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a panic in his chest and a heaviness in his head, and wanted to lie down on the bed immediately and sleep soundly.
Before he could worry for long, the leader of the bodyguards decided to set up camp there.
Let's make do for the night and continue our journey tomorrow.
Xiao Yizhi forced himself to get to the destination, randomly chose a flat spot, and collapsed into bed.
The lead镖师 (bodyguard/escort) witnessed this scene and, seeing that he had fallen asleep, took a blanket from his own bundle.
"Chief镖师 Lin! Long time no see!"
Zhen Fuyou emerged from behind the large tree behind Xiao Yizhi.
He looked at Chief Escort Lin with a smile and stopped in front of him.
Having previously fled famine together, Chief Escort Lin trusted Zhen Fuyou's character to a certain extent.
Last night at dusk, he went out to fetch water and encountered Zhen Fu and his group.
At that time, Zhen Fuyou followed behind a high-ranking official and looked very prestigious.
Lin, the镖头 (bodyguard), was still somewhat hesitant to recognize her, but Zhen Fuyou came up to greet her first, and the two were able to reconnect.
It turned out that in just a few months, Zhen Fuyou had transformed from a country boy into a trusted confidant of an official in the imperial court.
I went out this time to do something for my master. Back then, he was just a clueless kid.
When they fled the famine together, he had to take care of many things on his own, but now others have left him far behind.
Zhen Fuyou was also surprised when he met Lin Biaotou. Lin had just taken on a mission and was coming with his men to check the situation.
From afar, he spotted a caravan led by a burly bodyguard.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an old acquaintance.
The two chatted for a long time before realizing that they had gone to the same place.
As they chatted, they started talking about their own situations.
After Lin Biaotou parted ways with them in Leling Prefecture, he went to his wife's family and lived a peaceful life for a while.
But no one expected that Leling Prefecture would be suddenly besieged by the Prince of Yang and the Northern Hu people.
Fortunately, Zhuyuan sent people to guard the place, but they were outnumbered and many people in Leling Prefecture were forced to join the army.
Lin, the镖头 (bodyguard), was the same. Because he was skilled in martial arts, he was quite successful in the military camp.
He was ordered to go out this time to investigate General Xiao's affairs in the capital.
Zhen Fuyou was also concerned about this matter, and there was another matter on the way: finding news of General Xiao's son.
Xiao Yizhi had stayed with his younger sister for a while, so Zhen Fuyou naturally knew him.
That's why Feng He sent him out. After hearing this news, Lin, the head镖师 (bodyguard), immediately asked Zhen Fuyou about the child's appearance and couldn't help but become suspicious.
There just happens to be a young boy in his team who fits the bill!
Because the child was young and good-looking, Chief Escort Lin paid close attention to him.
The two communicated together and secretly observed Xiao Yizhi before confirming his identity.
Zhen Fuyou hadn't expected people to bump into him like that. Without hesitation, he took the sleeping potion and gave it to Lin Biaotou.
Kyoto is dangerous, and Xiao Yizhi absolutely cannot go with them.
Therefore, Zhenfu has already arranged for someone to send Xiao Yizhi back later.
To prevent him from waking up in the middle of the night, he gave Xiao Yi a strong drug that would keep him from waking up for at least two or three days.
After he sends the person back, my younger sister will definitely give him a good talking-to.
Looking at Xiao Yizhi, who was sleeping soundly, Lin Biaotou sighed softly: "This child is really pitiful! General Xiao has encountered danger this time, and I'm afraid he won't make it through."
Zhen Fuyou remained silent to the side, but upon closer inspection, one could see a hint of guilt in his eyes.
His purpose in going to Kyoto was no ordinary one; his brother-in-law had sent him medicine, a miraculous remedy made by his own sister.
We guarantee we'll pull General Xiao out of his coffin.
After all, he trusted his younger sister's abilities.
"Someone come here! Take the child over!"
Zhen Fu waved his hand, and his men stepped forward to hug Xiao Yizhi.
Lin, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), watched this scene with deep emotion.
Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.
