Lin Bang was stunned when he saw the tiger talisman. This scene seemed familiar.
Jiang Qiao explained everything to him clearly.
Lin Bang nodded. "So... you've become the new commander?"
Jiang Qiao said with a forced smile, "Is Lieutenant General Lin okay with that?"
Lin Bang shook his head. "No, but aren't you getting married tomorrow? Would the Imperial Master agree to my leaving like this?"
Jiang Qiao joked, "Runaway marriage."
Regarding the postponement of the wedding date, Jiang Qiao only asked his subordinates to notify those who received the invitations, so it was normal that others did not know.
Lin Bang: “Ah? (;^_^A”
Jiang Qiao ignored him and walked forward, "Then give the order and set off at dawn tomorrow."
——
At this moment, inside the palace.
Eunuch Li was ordering his men to kidnap Jiang Hao. "General, please don't embarrass me. The Emperor sympathizes with you. He said you don't have to leave the capital anymore. He has already arranged for someone to replace you, and they will leave tomorrow."
Jiang Hao refused, the wound on his chest bleeding. "I want to see the emperor. I have always been responsible for Nan Qiang's affairs. How can you suddenly change me?"
Eunuch Li said nothing more, asked someone to light some calming incense, and left.
After a while, the bedroom became quiet...
The dark night seemed to have dyed the sky with endless thick ink.
Tonight, some people sleep peacefully while others mourn...
Ji Muhe was dreaming of a family reunion, while Jiang Hao was sleeping with a frown on his face.
Deep in the palace, Fu Yanci stood in front of the window, waiting alone, calculating the fortune over and over again in his hand. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, with helplessness in his eyes.
"Master, the hexagram has changed again. It seems she is going to leave me."
The hexagram says that the national crisis will be over, but no one will return.
…
Jiang Qiao was half asleep and half awake when she felt someone beside her. She subconsciously reached out and pulled something off, but she didn't know what she was pulling off. She opened her eyes.
Fu Yanci's belt was torn off, and there was no expression on his face. He just looked at her gently.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Qiao rubbed his eyes and sat up.
Jiang Qiao, please don't leave, okay?
Fu Yanci wanted to say this selfishly, but he couldn't. Besides, even if he said it, she wouldn't stay.
"I can't bear to leave you."
At this moment, this sentence is extremely ambiguous.
Jiang Qiao's eyes became clear again, and Fu Yanci suddenly held her head and kissed her. Their breaths met and their breathing became heavier.
Fu Yanci held her face and lifted it up, kissing her passionately. He turned all the words that he couldn't say into small fragments.
Despite this, Fu Yanci remained very restrained.
Jiang Qiao asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
Fu Yanci pushed her back to the bed and said, "I should have married you a long time ago."
Would this have ended differently...
Jiang Qiao thought he was really reluctant to leave, and was happy for a while because of this, "Wait until I come back."
Fu Yanci coaxed her to sleep, "Nothing is better than your safety."
…
When the first ray of sunlight appeared, the fog dissipated, giving people a desolate and mysterious feeling.
An army is ready to go. They are dressed in gorgeous armor, holding sharp weapons and looking serious.
At the front of the army, Jiang Qiao, clad in a gorgeous battle robe and holding a spear, gazed determinedly into the distance. Behind her were brightly colored flags fluttering in the wind, as if to boost the morale of the soldiers about to set out.
The city gates opened and the army advanced.
On the city wall, Fu Yanci looked at the heroic woman. He knew that she might not come back.
This time Jiang Qiao did not look back, she left resolutely.
…
General's Mansion.
Chunhua knew that today's wedding was cancelled, and the entire general's mansion only kept it a secret from Ji Muhe.
So she still woke Jiang Qiao up at the usual time.
“Squeak—”
"Miss, it's time to get up. The general will be home soon, and the lady will be very happy."
When I opened the door, I saw that the quilt on the bed was neatly folded. There was no life in the room and it didn't look like anyone had lived there last night.
Jiang Qiao is missing.
Jiang Hao was sent back to the general's mansion by a special person.
Ji Muhe was waiting at the door early. She saw Jiang Hao's pale face and went to help him. "What's wrong? Are you injured?"
Jiang Hao waved his hand. He had already accepted the news that someone was leaving Beijing in his place. Calculating the time, the army had already left. "No problem. Where's Qiao Qiao?"
Just then, Chunhua ran out with an anxious look on her face.
"General, Madam, the young lady is missing and there's no one in the room!"
Ji Muhe hadn't reacted yet, and the first thing she thought of was that Jiang Qiao had run away from the marriage.
The good news that Jiang Hao didn't have to leave Beijing clouded her mind. She was only thinking about waiting for Jiang Hao to come back and even forgot to listen to the sound of gongs and drums.
Ji Muhe realized something was wrong when she thought about it, and she turned around.
The wedding character that had been hanging on the gate of the general's mansion had been taken down at some point. From the outside, it didn't look like there would be any happy events in the general's mansion today, and there hadn't been a single guest so far. At first, she thought it was because it wasn't time for the next morning court session yet, so there were no guests. But now she thought that everything seemed unusual.
Ji Muhe's heart started beating wildly. It was the first time she was so stern. "Who took down those wedding characters?"
Chunhua swallowed hard and said bravely, "Madam, the young lady told us yesterday that her marriage to the Imperial Master has been postponed, and asked us to keep it a secret and not tell you until the general returns."
When Jiang Hao heard this, he recalled everything that had happened and thought to himself that something was wrong. He hurriedly asked, "Is the tiger talisman still there?!"
Ji Muhe took a deep breath and hurried back.
Jiang Hao was supported by someone and followed behind her. He was afraid that the guess in his heart would come true, so his steps were very unsteady.
The main courtyard is not far away and can be reached in a few steps.
Ji Muhe pushed the door open, opened the secret compartment, and took out the small box with trembling hands.
Jiang Hao was also nervous.
After the small box was opened, both of them were stunned.
The place where the tiger talisman was originally placed was replaced by a letter.
Jiang Hao's heart finally died down, he knew who the person was who left Beijing for him.
He took out the letter with trembling hands.
The letter read:
Dad and Mom, seeing your letter is like seeing you in person, and you are so happy to see your face.
I, your daughter, know very well that our bodies and hair are inherited from our parents. As my father grows older, troubles continue in the capital and there are many conspiracies on the border. I don't want my father to suffer such pain at his age.
I have not forgotten what my father taught me, but I am not as strong-willed as him. If I can't beat someone, I will run away. Safety is the most important thing, so don't worry about me.
Mother, you should take good care of yourself and don't be angry because of what happened to me. I will personally apologize to you when I come back. Also, I swear, this is the last time I steal the tiger talisman.
Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye.
I hope you are safe and healthy.
