Chapter 36 The lips and teeth began to smear from the repeated sucking and biting...
It takes about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to travel from the Lin residence to the Ji family's old residence by carriage.
It's not far in terms of distance, but it's definitely not close to walk there either.
Throughout the journey, Ji Yujing carried Lin Qingdai the whole time, not letting her walk even a single step.
Being held in her beloved's arms like this, without having to walk and get tired, Lin Qingdai was naturally delighted.
But with so many people around, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. Just after leaving the Lin residence, she had whispered something to Ji Yujing.
"Put me down. It looks bad for everyone to see."
But Ji and Jing said, "This is a custom in Lingdong."
Lin Qingdai choked for a few breaths, "What kind of custom is this? I've never heard of it before."
Ji Yujing chuckled inwardly, but outwardly maintained a straight face while spouting nonsense.
"It really exists."
"What exactly did they say?"
Lin Qingdai was persistent and inquisitive; she wasn't easily fooled.
Ji Yujing could only make up a story: "On the day of the wedding, the bride was carried home by the groom, and from then on, the family will surely be harmonious and prosperous."
Lin Qingdai thought he was just bluffing, but since her vision was currently covered by the bridal veil and she couldn't see anything, she had no way of observing his expression to determine whether his words were true or false.
That's the only way to accept it.
Fortunately, she can't see anything right now, so she can just pretend nothing happened.
They arrived smoothly at the Ji family's old residence, and after crossing the threshold, Ji Yujing put Lin Qingdai down.
Just as he was about to take her hand and lead her inside, he unexpectedly noticed a soldier hurriedly entering the courtyard. He was wearing armor, the surface of which was stained with blood, clearly indicating that he had just been through a fierce battle.
Which area is it from?
Xu Xianhe also discovered it again.
They immediately went to greet them, their expressions slightly cold.
Ji Yujing's stagnation caught Lin Qingdai's attention.
She asked him softly, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yujing: "It's alright, let's proceed with the wedding ceremony."
After saying this, he took Lin Qingdai's hand and led her into the hall.
Everything was already prepared, and at his signal, the pace was becoming more streamlined and faster.
The reason, as everyone probably guessed, was that they cooperated unconditionally.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth."
"Bowing to the parents twice."
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
The ceremony was presided over by a blessed old man from Lingdong, who remained remarkably composed even at a fast pace.
"Exchange for the golden lock."
"Send them into the bridal chamber."
When all the wedding rituals were completed without missing a single one, Ji Yujing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He immediately picked up Lin Qingdai and headed towards his room.
He was very fast, but Lin Qingdai was well protected by him and did not feel scared.
Once inside the room, he placed her on the edge of the bed.
Then, he lifted the veil off her head with his bare hands.
Her beautiful face was breathtaking.
If he could, he wouldn't want to leave her side for even a moment.
“Dai Dai…”
He didn't know how to bring it up. On their wedding day, he was going to leave her alone.
His heart was filled with guilt, and no matter how hard he tried to hide it, some of it would inevitably show on his face.
Seeing his expression, Lin Qingdai understood everything.
She spoke, her voice soft, as if wrapped in a layer of clouds.
"Come a little closer?"
Ji Yujing bent down, his handsome face close to hers.
Without any warning, Lin Qingdai kissed his forehead.
She wore very bright lipstick today for good luck. Even a light touch left a mark on Ji Yujing's forehead.
She chuckled softly and reached out to wipe it again.
The gentle caress awakened Ji and Jing.
"Why is my wife kissing me?"
Lin Qingdai stopped what she was doing.
Ji Yujing took her hand, his gaze falling on the lipstick on her fingertips, his eyes dimming slightly.
Lin Qingdai didn't notice his change and continued talking to herself.
"Let's cheer for General Ji and hope for his early triumphant return."
Ji Yujing scrutinized her carefully, but found no trace of anger or grievance in her eyes.
But he still said, "Dai Dai, don't be angry."
"I'll be back soon."
Lin Qingdai smiled at him with her eyebrows curving upwards, "Go ahead."
Ji and Jing were much more relaxed.
He immediately straightened up and was about to leave, but before he could even take a step, he turned back.
He lifted Lin Qingdai's chin and lowered his head to cover her red lips.
At first, I just wanted to kiss her to soothe my restless emotions.
Unexpectedly, once touched, it was hard to look away, as if the lips were not lips, but rather a "hundred beauties" blooming in the deepest part of the dense forest, incomparably beautiful, easily captivating people.
Ji Yujing realized that his willpower wasn't actually that strong.
At least that's how it is in front of Lin Qingdai.
He lingered, sucking and biting, his lips and teeth beginning to carry her scent, his heart slightly soothed, before forcefully pulling away.
"Wait for me to come back."
He finished speaking, turned, and left. This time, he didn't look back. But after that kiss, Lin Qingdai found it difficult to "overthink."
Because when he bit her, his hot breath filled her lips. She knew it was his desire for her.
Do you like it that much?
A kiss can make him lose control of his emotions?
As Lin Qingdai thought this, her ears immediately burned.
...
Ji Yujing walked out of the room and found that Mingyue and Mingqian were already waiting outside the door.
This made him feel even more at ease.
"Take good care of her."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Mingqian suddenly called out "son-in-law".
Ji and Jing's steps were halted.
He looked at her.
Mingqian handed him a handkerchief, "Young master, wipe yourself."
"This handkerchief is for the young lady; it's clean."
Ji Yujing remembered the previous kiss and immediately took the handkerchief.
Thank you.
Ji and Jing walked away quickly.
Mingqian looked at Mingyue and said, "Sister, General Ji must really like our young lady. He even kissed her in such a short time."
Mingyue slapped her arm hard.
"Shut up."
Mingqian immediately shut up.
Sister Yue is as fierce as ever, and she's so scared.
Ji Yujing returned to the main hall, by which time the lipstick on his lips had been completely wiped off.
She used Lin Qingdai's silk scarf, and when she placed it on his lips, her breath appeared and disappeared intermittently.
This silk scarf was originally mint green, but now it has some red stains. Although it is no longer clean, it has a captivating beauty.
Ji and Jing hid it close to their bodies.
Upon seeing Lin Qingyu and Ji Tongchuan, Ji Yujing sincerely apologized.
"I have to go out for a while."
He didn't elaborate on what it was about.
But Lin Qingyu and Ji Tongchuan both saw the soldiers with blood-stained armor, so it wasn't hard to guess what had happened.
Ji Tongchuan had seen many similar things over the past few years, and besides feeling melancholy and sighing, he had nothing more to say.
Ji Yujing bears the responsibility for the safety of the people of Lingdong. If he doesn't go, no one can bear the consequences if something goes wrong.
I just can't get past my own mental hurdle.
But Lin Qingyu was different. He had always lived in the peaceful and prosperous capital, and his family was so powerful that he had never seen anything like it.
This was the closest he had ever come to war.
"Go ahead, I'll finish things up with Old Ji. As for Dai Dai..."
"She's fine."
"That's good."
When Ji Yujing walked out of the Ji family's old house, Xu Xian had already inquired about the situation.
The soldiers who suddenly appeared were the garrison of Sanxi Town.
There were three of them in total. One went to the Ji family's old residence, one went to the Ningdong Army camp, and the other went to the governor's mansion.
The sole purpose is to deliver the general's/urgent message to the relevant personnel as quickly as possible.
Late last night, the Dongshao Kingdom launched a surprise attack on Sanxi Town with a large force. Although the Ningdong Army fought desperately, the boundary markers were lost several times.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yujing's expression suddenly turned icy.
How many people came?
Soldier: "I don't know the specifics, but we can't kill them all."
There's no way to kill them all.
The problem at the front was just solved when the ones behind it multiplied.
If the enemy's main force presses forward, the garrison of Sanxi Town will be dragged to their deaths.
Ji Yujing patted the young soldier on the shoulder, "You've worked hard, you've done a great job."
This was the first time the soldier had been praised by his commander, and having just experienced such a fierce battle, he couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat and tears welling up in his eyes.
"Congxin, you shall immediately return to the army and muster 10,000 troops to support Sanxi Town."
"The supply of provisions must keep up, starting from the 10th."
After listening to it again, my heart skipped a beat.
"General, what are you going to do..."
Does this mean they want to cross the boundary marker and attack?
The rest of the story was never told before Ji Yujing stopped him.
He was smiling, but his gaze was icy cold.
"Xuanzhi was so kind as to send such a generous gift on my wedding day. How could I not reciprocate?"
At this point, they split up and began their separate operations.
Ji Yujing immediately set off for Sanxi Town, accompanied by Ye Xiao and Xu Xian.
No one dared to speak along the way.
Abandoning one's wife on their wedding day to rush to the battlefield is a painful experience for anyone. Especially for the bride, Lin Er, the most noble girl in Xun Kingdom; any mistreatment of her could trigger a series of problems.
But not going is not an option.
At least Ji and Jing can't get over this mental hurdle.
Sanxi Town was the hometown of his old friend Liao Haiping. Several years ago, Liao Haiping died here, brutally murdered. Now, the Dongshao Kingdom has launched another surprise attack on the town, specifically choosing the day of Ji Yujing's wedding, clearly intending to cause him unhappiness.
Clearly, they succeeded.
After galloping for nearly two hours, the group arrived at Sanxi Town.
Besides Ji and Jing, the first batch of reinforcements has arrived. Two thousand soldiers, not many in number, but they are the fiercest and most skilled in assaults in the army, which can relieve the immediate crisis.
When they arrived, the army of Dongshao Kingdom had already reached the back archway of Sanxi Town.
This is the rear area of Sanxi Town. If the archway is destroyed, it means that Sanxi Town has fallen.
"General Ji."
"General Xu."
"It's Young Master Xiao."
The garrison of Sanxi Town, which had been fighting for several hours, discovered that reinforcements had arrived and their commander had come in person.
He exclaimed in surprise, his dark eyes instantly turning crimson.
Ji Yujing sat high on his horse, smiling at them, "You've all worked hard. Leave the rest to us."
After saying this, he leaped off his horse, drew his sword, and headed towards the Dongshao army.
Even before they drew their swords, the Dongshao soldiers, who had been bloodthirsty and unstoppable in the previous battle, instinctively took a few steps back.
This was their first time rushing into Sanxi Town.
In an instant, the battle situation was no longer one-sided.
Break the deadlock and start afresh.
Ji Yujing watched them quietly, and for a moment, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
That smile had a sinister quality to it.
"kill."
As soon as he finished speaking, he brandished his sword and charged towards the soldiers of Dongshao Kingdom. He was truly a man of few words and ruthless actions.
The soldiers stationed in Sanxi Town were stunned by what they saw.
Li Qian, the garrison commander of Sanxi Town: "The general is taking action personally?"
In recent years, as the four tiger generals, including Cong Xin, have established themselves in the army, Xuan Zhi has not appeared, and Ji Yujing has hardly ever taken action himself.
Seeing Li Qian's astonished expression, Ye Xiao couldn't help but twitch his lips: "The wedding was ruined, and now he's furious with nowhere to vent his anger."
"Fine, let's teach these barbarians a lesson. They think they can trample on any place in this world at will."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiao pushed his speed to the limit, penetrating deep into the enemy ranks without any fear.
Reinforcements arrived immediately, and the counterattack began.
Before entering, Xu Xian patted Li Qian on the shoulder and said, "Leave the rest to us."
"You take a team to town and reassure the villagers."
Although Ji and Jing had ordered the relocation of people to the interior two or three years ago, some people who were nostalgic were still unwilling to leave.
Ji and Jing did not force them.
Fortunately, their numbers are small, and they have undergone specialized evacuation training. When war breaks out, they will go to designated locations to hide on their own.
Li Qian did not delay and held out for several hours. However, the soldiers were too exhausted to fight any longer.
This time, Ji and Jing were exceptionally ruthless.
Wherever they went, blood flowed, and the soldiers of Dongshao Kingdom were either maimed or killed.
He truly hated these people; they had tortured and murdered his close friend, and now they had chosen the day of his wedding to launch a surprise attack on Sanxi Town with a large force.
He didn't want to leave Lin Qingdai's side on such a day, but he had no choice.
Sanxi Town was a knot in his heart; if Sanxi Town fell, he would never be well again.
It's difficult to advance or retreat.
Anger made his eyes red.
The commander was strong, which boosted morale to the maximum extent.
Furthermore, the newcomers were originally from the wolf faction within the military, and a major counterattack began.
The soldiers of Dongshao Kingdom began to retreat, and the Ningdong Army was getting closer and closer to the lost boundary marker.
Finally, they saw the boundary marker.
Upon seeing it, anger was reignited. Years had passed, and the Eastern Shao Kingdom remained just as lowly.
They poured all sorts of foul-smelling substances onto the boundary marker, layer upon layer, until they could no longer see the words on the marker.
Ji Yujing glanced at them briefly before looking away, then turned his gaze to a group of Dongshao soldiers who had retreated to the boundary marker.
Who is the commander-in-chief?
Hou Ting: "It's me."
Ji Yujing brandished his sword, its cold light gleaming, and pointed it at Hou Ting, saying, "Clean the boundary marker."
"Wipe while kneeling."
"You lowly commoner, how dare you speak to our commander like that!"
Ji Yujing's lips twitched slightly. "So what if you're lowly? You'll all die by the swords of these lowly people today."
Then he repeated, "Clean the boundary marker."
"Wipe while kneeling."
Enraged, Hou Ting drew his sword and charged at Ji Yujing, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.
He had heard of Ji and Jing long ago, all from his colleagues.
They said that although the fortunes of the Xun Kingdom were declining, it was undeniable that they had many exceptionally talented generals.
For example, Wu Tingshan, and Ji Yujing.
If they don't die, the Xun Kingdom can never be truly destroyed.
Later, they were repeatedly defeated by Ji Yujing's sword.
A god of war, yet he wielded the most elegant and ethereal sword.
He had long harbored the desire to fight him, and now, the opportunity had finally arrived.
The most violent battle has begun.
For a fleeting moment, the swords clashed. Few sparks flew, and both men's hands went numb from the impact.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Hou Ting's breathing began to become erratic.
Ji Yujing watched this unfold and continued his relentless attack, his inner strength surging outwards wildly, as if it would never cease.
As the situation unfolded, Hou Ting's eyes finally stirred with emotion.
Ji and Jing have a very strong staying power.
How exactly did he train?
Sizzle
The sword tip finally pierced Hou Ting's body; the sound was faint, yet chilling.
Ji and Jing advanced inch by inch, their swords penetrating deeper and deeper.
Hou Ting retreated hastily, and after a dozen steps, he gripped the sword with his bare hands and forcefully pulled it out.
The blood was bright red and splattered everywhere.
Some of it was scattered on the boundary marker.
Ji Yujing's sword was once again pointed at Hou Ting.
"Kneel down and wipe it clean."
"If I am even slightly dissatisfied, I will make you all die in the same way that the villagers of Sanxi Town died back then."
"I will do it myself."
Are you happy?
Ji Yujing's dark eyes shone with an eerie light; he was like a demon whose seal had been broken.
They are masters of using violence to suppress violence, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Hou Ting had never fought Ji Yujing before, but now that they had, he felt that Ji Yujing was as ferocious as the legends said.
He knew that Ji Yujing wasn't just talking.
If he fails to restore the boundary marker of Sanxi Town to its original state, he will torture and kill him without batting an eye.
Fear took control of Hou Ting.
But he was a renowned general of the country; he could be defeated, but he could not endure such humiliation.
Ignoring the pain from his wounds, he lunged at Ji Yujing once more.
One sword, two swords, three swords...
Hou Ting finally fell, but he had no regrets.
The victor is king, the loser is villain; this has been the way of things since ancient times.
Having lived half my life, I have finally met a worthy opponent; this life has not been wasted.
Ji Yujing gave him a cold look, and that was it.
After that glance, he looked at Dong Shaojun.
"Who is the deputy general?"
After this happened three times, someone finally knelt before the boundary marker of Sanxi Town. He tore off his robe and carefully wiped the boundary marker that they had dirtied.
During the movement, his neck would occasionally brush against Ji Yujing's sword, causing blood to seep out and sharp pain to pierce through him.
Time passed like the wind, and the boundary marker gradually returned to its original appearance.
Once it was completely clean, Ye Xiao and Xu Xian each brought over a bucket of water and carefully wiped it several more times.
It was as if it were an old friend to them.
Only when it is safe and sound can they feel at ease.
