Chapter 422: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor of the Founding of the Country 33
Ji Yunhuan looked Lin Yuan up and down. This guy had broad shoulders and a long body with a tough face. Even the long gown could not hide his muscles. He did not look like a businessman at all.
"It's really hard for you to come up with an excuse to cover up. But I suggest you stop pretending to be a merchant and pretend to be a bodyguard. There are not many people who can read in your bandit den. It doesn't look like a caravan at all."
Lin Yuan clapped his hands suddenly and praised: "You are really smart. You are worthy of being educated. Your brain is very useful. I will do as you say."
Ji Yunhuan took Xiao Lanhua down the mountain and told her not to mention what happened on the mountain.
Xia Sanniang was very conscious and swore to the heavens, "Don't worry, I am not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity. You saved me, and I will definitely not harm you. I will pretend that I didn't hear anything about what happened today. If I leak even a word, let me be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
After this incident, Ji Yunhuan still believed in Xia Sanniang. Not everyone could push others away and face the knife point in times of crisis.
She took out a lot of fresh fruits and a piece of dried beef from her backpack and handed them to Xia Sanniang. "Thank you for protecting us today. This is a thank you gift. We have been friends through thick and thin. Please don't refuse it, Sanniang."
Xia Sanniang accepted it. If she didn't accept it, Miss Ji would feel uneasy.
"I think that bandit is quite interesting. He is a novice at first glance. He knows nothing and has no idea how to please a girl. He didn't get angry even though I scolded him so much. It shows that he is not a vicious person."
"If he can really protect you all the way, he is really sincere to you. If you like him, you can give it a try. Lingnan is a very chaotic place, and you are so beautiful. I think he is quite reliable, far better than those unfaithful people who only know how to say sweet words."
Ji Yunhuan's face was a little hot, but luckily it was dark and no one could see it. She pulled Xiao Lanhua and walked forward quickly, muttering softly, "Who likes him? It's just mutual use. How could he be so kind as to protect me? He just took a fancy to the medicine in my hand and wanted to find a free doctor!"
Xia Sanniang followed behind and laughed, jokingly saying, "Right, right, right. Our Miss Ji doesn't even look down on the emperor. She doesn't even want to be a queen in the palace. How can she look down on a bandit and become his wife?"
Ji Yunhuan's face became even hotter. She saw her family members coming over from afar. She breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to greet them.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle Ji, why are you all here?"
Fang Huijia pulled her daughter up and down to look around. After making sure that she was safe, she whispered, "I met Ji Yuncheng when I went to collect firewood. He asked me to go up the mountain."
"I was worried about you and wanted to go up the mountain to find you, but your father said you could handle it and told me not to come. It might be a trap set by Ji Yuncheng."
Fang Huijia glared at Ji Liao next to her and said in dissatisfaction, "How can anyone be a father like this? It's getting dark and you two little kids are in there. How can I not be worried? After all, it's a farce and we don't want to alert the police, so we all came together."
Ji Yunhuan was touched. She didn't want to scare her mother, so she said, "I'm fine. I was just lucky enough to pick two wild ginsengs, which delayed me for some time."
Lan Song also followed tremblingly behind. Little Lanhua took out the ginseng from the basket and showed it to her grandfather like a treasure.
Lan Song knew at a glance that this was not fresh ginseng, but processed one. He always felt that with General Ji's ability, it was impossible for him to be exiled without any preparation. General Ji was being hunted last night but he was safe and sound, so it was not a big deal to get two wild ginsengs.
He touched his granddaughter's head and said with a smile: "Lanhua'er is great! But this is General Ji's. It should be kept for General Ji's health. We can't take it."
Lanhua nodded and said crisply: "This was found by Sister Ji. I don't want it."
Xia Sanniang said hello to everyone and went back to find Pan Ying. She would go to the tent to serve Pan Ying tonight, as it had been agreed long ago.
The whole family surrounded Ji Yunhuan and Xiao Lanhua and went back home. Ruyi was anxiously guarding the household belongings, and only felt relieved when she saw the young lady.
Ji Yunhuan gave a ginseng to Lan Song and said with a smile: "The ginseng was dug by Xiao Lanhua, and you guys also have a share. I don't know how to use ginseng, so I have to trouble Grandpa Lan to help me prepare the medicine."
Lan Song felt that General Ji and Ji Da had recovered very well and were in good health, so it would not be a big deal to use more ginseng. He quickly cooked the medicine, and except for the two injured people, everyone else drank a small bowl of it to replenish their energy.
Ji Yuncheng saw from afar that Ji Yunhuan had returned. The eldest family was gathered together, talking and laughing, having a great time. He couldn't help but feel a little envious.
He knew that his father wanted to deal with Ji Yunhuan, but he didn't think his father could succeed. If Ji Yunhuan really lost her virginity, his uncle's family would never let his father go!
He was afraid that his father was also dead, so he quietly reminded his aunt, but fortunately nothing happened.
Ji Yuncheng was choked by the thick smoke and kept coughing. He was so hungry that he wanted to make a fire and cook some wild vegetables, but he didn't know how to do it at all and couldn't even light a fire.
If only his mother were still alive, at least she wouldn't let him starve. Ji Yunhuan was hungry and in pain, and couldn't help crying.
Ji Yuan rushed over, grabbed Ji Yuncheng by the collar, and cursed in a low voice: "You traitor! I am your father, why are you siding with an outsider? Did you tell the secret? Otherwise, how could that bitch come back safely!"
Ji Yuncheng cried and begged, "Dad, please don't hurt my elder sister anymore, okay? You always say that if uncle doesn't die, we will die, but I think uncle can protect us. As long as we make peace with uncle's family, we won't die."
Ji Yuan threw his son to the ground fiercely. Ji Yuncheng's back hit the fire, which agitated the wound and caused severe pain.
"You idiot! Ji Liao is already a cripple. He can't even protect himself, let alone you, his nephew! I am your father. Only when I am well can you be well. If you keep holding me back, don't blame me for not caring about the father-son relationship."
"I have been suppressed by Ji Liao for most of my life. I finally have this opportunity. I will be successful in the near future. I will never give up!"
Ji Yuncheng felt that his father had gone crazy, but he could not persuade his father and was instead scolded by his father.
The next morning, the exile team set out again. When they counted the number of people, they found that Ding Wei was missing.
Guo Yi frowned tightly, pulled over an official who often followed Ding Wei, and said angrily: "I knew that guy was unreliable. The higher-ups insisted on inserting him in to cause trouble for me, and even let him manage the baggage."
"Where is he? Where did he go? He left the team without permission and delayed the trip. If he doesn't come back within a quarter of an hour, let him go back to Luojing. He doesn't have to go to Lingnan to suffer."
The officer didn't take it seriously. Ding Wei had someone above him, so Guo Yi couldn't control Ding Wei. But the officer didn't dare to go against Guo Yi. He immediately put on a smile, called a few of Ding Wei's confidants over, and pretended to start looking for someone.
