Chapter 171 I won't let go!
Jin Sui comforted Twelve Niang: "As long as you are safe, your elder brother won't blame you. You don't know how sad your brother was when we saw your badge and the body of the bandit on the road."
"We searched day and night, and finally wiped out the bandits. At that time, your brother must have thought that as long as you were alive and safe, he would forgive you no matter what you did."
All parents are like this, when their children make small mistakes, they will blame them. But as long as the safety of their children is involved, things like failing exams and secretly playing games become small problems.
It is true that Yan Jiu is not the father, but as the eldest brother, he is almost like a father.
These words made Twelve Lady no longer feel uneasy, but she became guilty: "Am I too willful?"
Without waiting for Jinsui to answer, she suddenly turned her head to look at Jinsui and said solemnly: "Suisui, I want to thank you."
Jin Sui was stunned: "What are you thanking me for? To be honest, I thought about being beaten half to death by you. I'm already very happy that you don't blame me."
Twelve Lady shook her head and said, "That's not true. If I hadn't met you, I might not have even left Yanzhou in my life. It is because I met you that I have the courage to leave the border.
No matter what we went through on the way north, no matter how desperate or painful it was at the time, after it was over, we felt more excited and happy than ever before.
Whether being chased by wolves, encountering horse bandits, living in snow caves, drinking rice wine to keep warm... these things, to us noble ladies, are just like the things done by the chivalrous women in the storybooks.
That was the life I had longed for, and now I have experienced it. It turns out that when I step out of my boudoir and out of my home, the outside world is like this.
Thank you Sui Sui. Without you, I would not be able to see the endless grassland, the Gobi Desert covered with snow, the night sky surrounded by stars, or the lonely smoke in the desert.
Maybe what gave me courage at first was what I thought was love, but now I know that it was you who gave me courage. "
Jinsui looked at Shi Er Niang tenderly and was impressed by the girl's open-mindedness. She believed that no matter what happened to the girl in the future, she would live a peaceful and happy life.
At this time, Twelve Niang turned her head to look at Han Xing who was following not far behind the two of them. Jinsui could not see her cheeks clearly because of her scarf, but he could see the shyness that flashed in her eyes clearly.
She then said to Jin Sui with an apologetic look: "There is one more thing I want to apologize to you for."
Jin Sui asked hurriedly: "There is no need to apologize between us. No matter what happened, I will not be angry with Twelve Niang."
You are not even angry about me being a woman in a man's clothing, so what right do I have to be angry with you? She looked back in the direction of Shi Er Niang's gaze, but what she saw was Gu Chang Xiao. She couldn't help but feel nervous, could it be that Shi Er Niang fell in love with Gu Chang Xiao after traveling with him all the way?
Her heart couldn't help but beat fast, an emotion she had never experienced before. She clenched the reins tightly. Confused and uneasy were not enough to describe her emotions at the moment.
Her heart seemed to be on a scale, and what Twelve Niang said next would make her feel like a roller coaster.
She looked down on me, and you said that Gu Changxiao had become a love-brained person. You are almost the same! In the face of life and death, how could you be entangled in love?
Have you forgotten what you told Yan Jiu? This trip to the north is definitely not for personal reasons!
On the other hand, she felt annoyed. In two lives, have you wasted your time? How can you have the same throbbing feeling as in adolescence? She had to admit that in her heart, Gu Changxiao was different. Completely different from Yan Jiu and Han Xing.
Twelve Lady said in a slightly lower voice: "I feel like I betrayed you."
Jin Sui's heart was pounding, but he just looked at her gently, encouraging her to continue.
"I swore before that I would always love you even if I couldn't marry you. You were the first man I loved, uh, that was before you became a woman."
Jinsui: ...
"I'm very touched. Thank you, Twelve Lady."
"No, but later on, my heart was no longer under my control and I changed my mind. Well, I changed my mind before you became a woman.
How could I do this? Am I falling in love with someone else? Am I a traitor? "
Jin Sui said hurriedly, "Of course not! Your feelings for me are not love, but admiration and curiosity, and a little bit of rebelliousness. Think about it carefully, right? The journey north has made you go through a lot, and your mind has become mature, especially when people are at a low point, it is easiest to recognize their own heart. It is natural for you to recognize who you really like."
Jin Sui's voice became lower and lower. She mustered up the courage to ask, "So, are you in love with the King of Li?"
Twelve Lady's eyes widened, with an expression that said, "How is that possible? Who would like that vixen? I can't stand men with that vixen look!"
Jinsui: ...
Looking at Gu Changxiao silently, you will never be able to get rid of the title of vixen in your lifetime.
But she felt much more relieved. She really didn't want to have any rift with Twelve Niang because of a man.
If Gu Changxiao knew that he was just 'a man' in Jinsui's heart, he would definitely cry secretly.
It wasn’t Gu Changxiao. Jinsui looked back again following Twelve Niang’s gaze, and it could only be Han Xing.
Black Tiger has White Girl. Although Huo Zian looks good, his temperament is too gloomy, and the cheerful Twelve Lady definitely doesn't like him.
Liuyun is still a child, only Hanxing. If you think about it carefully, these two people interacted a lot in the border town.
Jin Sui recalled Han Xing's inferiority complex that time. It turned out to be like this! Because he also liked Shi Er Niang, and felt that his status was low, so he guarded her silently and did not dare to like her.
Thinking of the many blunders she had made, she decided to ask clearly: "Shi Er Niang, is Han Xing the person you like?"
Twelve Lady's eyes were completely flustered, but this girl was not hypocritical. She nodded heavily: "Yes!"
Jin Sui smiled: "That's great, I will definitely support you with all my strength. If we can successfully pacify the situation in the northern border this time, Han Xing will definitely be promoted when we return to the border town..."
Twelve Lady hurriedly said, "I don't mind what his official position is!"
Jin Sui shook his head: "You may not mind, but your brother and the Yan family will definitely mind. I believe Han Xing also wants to give you the best."
At this moment, two people appeared in front of them. When they saw Twelve Niang, they dismounted and saluted: "Miss, you are safe and sound, how great!"
It was the Yan family guards left by Yan Jiu to lead the way. Gu Changxiao winked at Han Xing, and Han Xing took a scout team and took another route.
Jin Sui understood that one must be on guard against others, especially since Princess Toya looked down on King Li. Gu Changxiao could not just take everyone to see Princess Toya without caring about the consequences.
Huo Zian also went with Han Xing. Jin Sui said to Gu Chang Xiao, "Take a few of your trusted followers to see the princess, and the rest of you should find a place to camp nearby!"
Gu Changxiao agreed and specially brought Eunuch Zhou along. Eunuch Zhou's face was still pale after having just witnessed a brutal battle, and Jinsui found that his pants were abnormally wet and he had a strong odor.
He hurriedly said, "If you want to take him to see the princess, you'd better change his clothes first!"
Eunuch Zhou's face was originally white, but now it turned red. He had done many embarrassing things along the way, but none of them could compare to this time.
When the Tartars attacked, the Northern Frontier officials in the team ran away immediately. He also wanted to run, but there was nowhere to run. When he saw the Black Feather Army hacking the Tartars to the ground and the corpses and blood piling up near his horse's hooves, he was so scared that he lost consciousness.
The two young eunuchs hurriedly helped Eunuch Zhou to change his clothes. Liuyun came to Gu Changxiao silently and said meaningfully, "With Miss Ji here, Your Majesty does not need to worry."
What he meant was that Miss Ji had a "Qian Kun Bag" with a lot of fish oil firearms. Even if the princess had 100,000 soldiers, we could still fight our way out. What's more, the princess was in a miserable situation.
But Gu Changxiao mistakenly thought that Liuyun meant that with Miss Ji around, Yan Jiu would help us.
He became more and more unhappy, but the overall situation was more important. He could not selfishly say that he did not need Yan Jiu's help.
But he couldn't rely on Sui Sui to win over Yan Jiu! He looked at Liu Yun and said, "You have relied too much on Miss Ji. Don't rely on others when you encounter problems!"
Liuyun: ...
I just reminded the prince, why was he scolded? I want to say directly that Miss Ji has a Qiankun bag on her, and she will definitely be regarded as a lunatic.
Liuyun felt very aggrieved.
"You are still responsible for protecting Miss Ji. Follow her closely and never let her get into danger."
Hei Hu said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, how about letting me go and protect Boss Ji?"
Gu Changxiao shook his head: "No need!"
Hei Hu is too naive and can be easily sent away by Yan Jiu.
Everyone didn't wait for Eunuch Zhou to change his clothes and kept moving forward. Fortunately, Eunuch Zhou had been tortured so much along the way that he didn't dare to act pretentiously anymore, and he quickly changed his pants and caught up.
After walking through a hilly desert, a tribe appeared in front of them. A group of sheep were grazing on grass roots in the shallow snow. A few shepherds stepped forward and pointed with their whips. Without saying anything, the Yan family guards led the team in the direction they pointed.
The team went around in circles, and Jinsui felt that even a compass would fail, and she discovered that the shepherds would destroy the horseshoe prints they left behind.
When they saw large areas of yurts, which were obviously a large tribal gathering place, Yan Jiu and Princess Toya appeared.
Twelve Lady rushed to Yan Jiu first, dismounted quickly, put her hands behind her back and looked down at her toes, like a primary school student who had done something wrong: "Brother, I was wrong! You can hit me or scold me, but please don't get angry and hurt yourself."
Jin Sui began to sympathize with Yan Jiu. His brother and sister were skilled in using the rule of "admitting mistakes bravely and never changing them". It was hard to be the eldest brother! Yan Jiu was very calm, as if he was here to travel and not to look for his sister. All the anxiety and worry on the way disappeared, and he said lightly:
"I'm not old, how could I get hurt by anger? You, are you not hurt?"
Twelve Lady began to act coquettishly, saying, "Of course I was injured. I was almost captured by the bandits. My feet were also frostbitten. If I hadn't received timely treatment, my toes would have had to be amputated."
She added emphatically: "Thanks to the prince and Captain Han for saving me, I am safe."
Jin Sui couldn't help but think of her own Jin An. What should she do if he grows up to be like Twelve Niang? She would probably do the same as Yan Jiu, helplessly pampering him! Yan Jiu glanced at Jin Sui, nodded to her imperceptibly, then walked to Gu Chang Xiao, bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Prince of Li, for saving my sister!"
Gu Changxiao returned the greeting: "I would like to thank Yan Jiulang for saving Sui Sui!"
Yan Jiu's eyes changed at this, and the joints of his clenched fists turned pale. "Your Highness, you are joking. Miss Ji is also Yan Jiu's friend. Saving her is my duty. I don't deserve your thanks."
Gu Changxiao smiled and said, "Sui Sui is from Border Town and is my military advisor. I naturally want to thank him."
Twelve Niang looked at the two of them, then turned to look at Jin Sui, and asked with her eyes what was wrong with the two of them? Instead of thanking each other, shouldn't they go and talk to the princess about business?
Jin Sui was also speechless. Don't think she couldn't hear it. The two of them seemed to be thanking each other, but in fact they were competing for the position in Ji Sui's heart.
One said he was my friend, and the other said he was my military advisor.
What do you think of me? I am a person, not an object! Jin Sui strode forward, stood between the two of them and bowed: "I thank Yan Jiulang for saving my life, and thank the prince for saving Twelve Niang, okay? Go and see the prince to discuss business, and when we return to the border town, how about you two set up a buffet to thank each other?"
At this time, Princess Toya ran straight to Liuyun, pulled his sleeve and said, "Master Liuyun, you are here! Come in and rest."
Gu Changxiao and Yan Jiu looked at each other, a spark flashed in their eyes that no one else could detect. The most important thing now was to get down to business.
At the same time, he looked at the girl in front of him, who had snow-white skin, bright eyes, white teeth, and a high spirit.
I will not let go! *2 The felt tent where the Northern Frontier Crown Prince Bater lived was simply a mobile palace, large and magnificent. Jin Sui thought that Princess Toya was running away and that the Crown Prince would hide and live a miserable life.
Although he was also a prince who was chased everywhere, Gu Changxiao was much more miserable.
Bater is very young, looks younger than Liuyun, with a pair of sharp wolf eyes and a nose like his sister, tall and straight. He is very arrogant and looks like he is the best in the world.
He looked at everyone with a bad face, and towards Yan Jiu he was:
"You are the genius Yan Jiu that my father mentioned? Not that great! Did your sister make it clear to you? I will give you the trading rights only after I ascend the throne."
To Gu Changxiao: "Are you the deposed prince who was banished to the border? Your Queen of Central Plains wants you to die in the Northern Frontier. Now if you want to survive, you have to save this prince. This is not me asking for your help. Do you understand?"
To Liuyun: "I thought you were a monk? If you are not a monk, why are you called a master?"
Liu Yun retorted directly: "It's not me who wants to call you Master! It's your sister who insists on calling me Master!"
When it was Jinsui's turn, she was very nervous. All working people know how important it is for a client to be mentally mature and able to communicate rationally.
A little brat like the Prince of Northern Frontier has a high status and great power, but he is also unruly and willful. It is very difficult to cooperate with him.
She waited to hear Bater's comments, but he walked out of the main seat with his hand on his chin, walked around Jin Sui twice, raised his eyebrows and said:
"You are the most beautiful Han woman I have ever seen! How about you being my woman?"
Yan Jiu and Gu Changxiao took a step forward at the same time, but Tuoya was faster. She took Jin Sui's hand and said to Bater solemnly, "Don't be rude! Miss Ji is a Taoist nun who serves the gods and cannot marry!"
Bater actually accepted this statement very naturally, and said regretfully: "What a pity! But it's true, a beautiful woman like you should serve the gods."
Jinsui: ...
Well, the client may be immature but he listens to advice.
