Chapter 428: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor of the Founding of the Country 39
Lin Yuan didn't understand what the little maid was so excited about, but he was still somewhat tolerant of the people around Ji Yunhuan and didn't chase them away on the spot.
"What's the matter with being close? I think your young lady and I are very close. What if I stay away from her and she gets bullied? Besides, what if I don't keep a close eye on her and she gets snatched away by someone else?"
"If I don't treat her well and chase her, how can I marry her? If I don't take the initiative, am I just waiting for the girl to take the initiative?"
Ruyi was speechless after hearing this twisted logic. After a long while, she said, "You can't do this anyway! As the ancients said, love starts with emotion and ends with etiquette. Marriage is a big deal, how can it be treated as a joke?"
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "I think what you said makes sense. In Luojing City, there are many rules, and they emphasize things like parents' orders and matchmaker's words. Although we can't find a matchmaker for now, we can still have parents' orders."
Lin Yuan clapped his hands suddenly and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I will go find Brother Ji right now. Oh, no, I will go find Uncle Ji to propose marriage!"
Ruyi was so frightened that she dared not speak any more.
She just wanted to drive away this scoundrel, but how did he end up proposing marriage? The master would never agree to marry the young lady to such a rude and disrespectful person.
Ji Yunhuan said helplessly: "Hero Lin, stop it, don't scare my mother. If you dare to go, I will be really angry."
Lin Yuan could only give up. He took Ji Yunhuan's hand. Seeing that Ji Yunhuan did not refuse, he smiled foolishly for a while, and then went further and said:
"Why are you calling me so distantly? Can you just call me A Yuan? Huan'er, I will call you Huan'er from now on. Huan'er, you are so pretty, just like a fairy from heaven. Huan'er, do you like me? Hehe... I know I am handsome, you must like me..."
Ji Yunhuan was annoyed by Lin Yuan all the way.
Lin Yuan was extremely energetic. He made her several wooden hairpins for her to wear in turns. He then rummaged through the ox cart and found some pieces of cloth. He tried them on her body and said he wanted to make clothes for her.
Lin Yuan also rode out for a stroll on horseback, hunted a lot of game and brought back, saying that he wanted to let Ji Yunhuan taste his cooking skills.
It was not until the evening, when the exile team stopped to rest and everyone gathered together, that Lin Yuan calmed down a little.
As usual, Aunt Gao brought a lot of food. Aunt Gao had to take care of the diet of Lin Yuan and his group. They were a bunch of young men who ate a lot, so Aunt Gao was very busy with the few other women.
"Aunt, go and do your work. We can take care of ourselves. These are freshly picked fruits, as well as some commonly used pills, especially these anthelmintic capsules. Remember to wear them."
Aunt Gao refused to accept it, so Ji Yunhuan stuffed the package into Aunt Gao's arms and said with a smile, "Aunt, please accept it. It's a courtesy to return gifts. I can't let you work hard for nothing."
After seeing Aunt Gao off, Ji Yunhuan lit a fire and prepared dinner for everyone with Ruyi and Xiao Lanhua.
Lin Yuan sent over some roasted game, and Ji Yunhuan also took out some food from the space and distributed it to everyone. Everyone had a sumptuous dinner.
That night, several female family members slept in the carriage. The carriage was surrounded by their own people. Lin Yuan also arranged for his men to take turns to stand guard, so it was very safe.
Ji Yunhuan's tension along the way finally relaxed completely. She lay with her back against the car window, holding Xiao Lanhua in her arms, with Ruyi and her mother sleeping beside her. Everyone fell asleep, but Ji Yunhuan did not. Instead, she closed her eyes, sank her consciousness into the space, and began to train her mental strength without any instruction.
Bang, bang, bang! ! Clear sounds exploded in Ji Yunhuan's ears. Someone was knocking on the carriage window!
Ji Yunhuan shuddered and opened her eyes immediately. She moved Xiao Lanhua aside, freed her hands, and the hidden weapon instantly appeared in her palms.
She opened the curtain and a familiar face came closer.
Lin Yuan smiled widely and said in surprise, "Huan'er hasn't slept yet? I knew we were in tune with each other. Is Huan'er waiting for me to come?"
Ji Yunhuan closed the curtains, but was stopped by Lin Yuan. "No, I really have something serious to do. I saw that everyone was asleep, and Uncle Ji was injured, so I didn't want to disturb him. It just so happens that you are awake. Come down, I have something to discuss with you."
Ji Yunhuan believed it for the time being and got off the carriage quietly. "You'd better have something serious to do."
Lin Yuan rarely got serious, and lowered his voice and said, "Someone mixed poisonous grass into the horse hay. Fortunately, my people were vigilant along the way and prevented the horses from eating it. If they had eaten it, the horses would have gone crazy halfway through the journey tomorrow, and the people in the carriage would have been in danger."
"My people were just on guard against someone stealing food and cloth. Horse grass is not valuable, but I didn't expect someone to tamper with the horse grass. He almost succeeded!"
"Just now, someone was sneaking around the carriage, probably trying to do something to it. He was discovered by the night watchman, and we chased him all the way. It was the man I kicked during the day. He had a pointed face and monkey cheeks. Because we didn't catch him in the act, he made all kinds of excuses and refused to admit it."
Ji Yunhuan understood immediately, "It's my second uncle. That idiot, did he really think that he could return to Luojing after his father died? He's just an insignificant chess piece. When he's no longer useful, those people will just kill him."
Lin Yuan was eager to try when he heard this. "Since he is your relative, I thought of asking you first. In this case, it doesn't matter if we don't catch him in the act. I am a bandit, not a government official. I will kill him now and put an end to it."
Ji Yunhuan shook his head and held Lin Yuan back, "No, don't do anything rash. Ding Wei ran to the mountain by himself. Ji Yuan is very vigilant. He never goes out to look for food and is rarely alone. If you kill him rashly, you will get yourself into trouble."
"You are now a bodyguard escort, not a bandit on Cangshan Mountain. You must be cautious in everything you do and don't act recklessly!"
Lin Yuan said "Oh" and said sullenly: "It's really troublesome. It's better to be a bandit. I'm not afraid of Guo Yi. At worst, I can just fight with him. Who will win or lose is still uncertain!"
"I understand. You've said it many times. Guo Yi can't die. If he dies, it will be hard for all these people to survive. Don't worry, I won't take the initiative to provoke him."
Since we can't kill people openly, we'll just find a chance to kill Ji Yuan secretly, making sure Guo Yi can't find any flaws.
Ji Yunhuan stood on tiptoe, kissed Lin Yuan on the face, and whispered: "A Yuan is so good. A Yuan has unparalleled martial arts skills. It's a pity for him to be just a bandit. He still has a long way to go. Martial arts alone are far from enough."
"The world is about to fall into chaos. In the north, the Rongdi cavalry are eyeing us covetously. In the south, the Japanese pirates are burning, killing and looting. The world is torn apart, and many heroes are vying for supremacy. In this chaotic world, no one can stay out of trouble."
"A Yuan, it is not enough to just guard Cangshan. You have to go out, you have to control the world and calm down this chaotic world, then you can protect the people you want to protect."
