They even bullied people so much that they didn't even have the strength to hold a soup spoon.
Ji Linyuan felt a sense of crisis rising from the bottom of his heart—the old king had always hoped that Jinjin would find a woman to marry and give him a grandson. Now, Ji Linyuan was really afraid that he would be beaten to death by the old king.
The original plan was to pacify the grasslands and then propose marriage to Jinjin, thinking that the old king probably wouldn't object too much then. How did things turn out like this...?
Ji Langzai could never understand how a young boy, barely out of his teens, could resist the soaking wet young Gu Master, who, with red eyes and a hoarse voice, whispered seductively in his ear, "Bite, bite..."
Just thinking about that scene... makes me a little emotional again.
Finally, Si Jin noticed his embarrassment, pressed his hand down with one hand, and silently mouthed, "Continue feeding him, it's alright."
Ji Linyuan had no choice but to continue feeding the pigeon soup. When the other person came over, he hurriedly turned around and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"It's alright, there's no need for formalities at home." The old king, leaning on his cane, immediately became anxious the moment he saw Si Jin lying on her bed, putting aside his plan to find Ji Linyuan.
"Jin'er, when did you return? Why didn't you tell your father?"
"Oh, I just got back. I was afraid of bothering you because it's too late, so I wanted to..."
"Something's wrong!" Although the old king's eyesight was failing, he could still see the red spots all over his son's neck: "What happened to you? Did something bite you? Or are you sick?"
"It's nothing." Si Jin glanced at Ji Linyuan, who was covered in cold sweat, through the old king, and murmured, "It was a bite from a little wolf."
"?" The old king was puzzled: "When did wolves appear in our Miao territory? And you're patrolling the waterways, what wild wolf would run to the water's edge?"
"It wasn't just by the water," Si Jin said confidently, "The wolf in the water pounced on me and slammed me against the rocks; it bit me so hard!"
“Oh dear, what a strange thing! Did you take any medicine?” the old king said, turning his gaze to Ji Linyuan. “Did he take any medicine? This child has never been able to take care of himself.”
Ji.Wild Wolf.Lin Yuan hurriedly hid his clenched hands, his palms covered in cold sweat, and replied, "I...I used it, it will be fine in a few days."
He'll never kiss me so hard again QAQ
"Oh, alright." The old king then remembered the important matter: "Yuan'er, your uncle has done his best. In three months, he has gathered 80,000 soldiers for you, including 10,000 cavalry. We Miao people generally do not ride horses. This is the limit of your uncle's efforts."
"My uncle has come today to secretly give you the military tally. After all, this is not something that should be made public. Do you want to leave now, or wait until the autumn hunt..."
"Wait for the autumn hunt." Ji Linyuan chose to leave after the autumn hunt without hesitation. The eight tribes of the grassland each had their own agendas and wanted to compete for the position of Great Khan. If he left, he probably wouldn't be back for two or three years.
A few days ago, I heard that the Second Prince was going to harm Jinjin during the autumn hunt. He couldn't leave; he had to stay with Jinjin and spend the autumn hunt with her.
Ji Linyuan bowed and said, "I am deeply grateful for your kindness, Uncle. I wish to hunt the fattest game to present to you!"
"Hahaha, good, as expected of a wolf cub raised on the grasslands, so spirited!" The old king stood up, handed the military tally to Ji Linyuan, and instructed, "You stay here, remember to take good care of Jin'er."
"yes."
After giving his orders, the old king went out, only realizing halfway there—a little wild wolf? A wolf cub?
Si Jin was looking in one direction the whole time he was speaking. Could the marks on his body be... bites from Ji Linyuan?
Thinking of this, the old king almost had a stroke. He quickly stopped coughing and ordered his personal eunuch to summon the mansion's steward.
He asked earnestly, "Where did Yuan'er stay during the three months he was here?"
He didn't see Ji Linyuan's residence, which made him suspicious.
The butler lowered his head: "They live in the same courtyard as the young master."
