Chapter 37 Ji Yujing, the peerless hero in my heart...
The banquet has ended.
At Lin Qingdai's insistence, in the festive hall, she served tea to each of the elders in the family. By then, she had removed the hairpins and jewelry that had been weighing her down and changed into a green wedding dress. The fine satin made her look even more noble and ethereal.
She was so beautiful, and also kind and well-mannered.
The elders were delighted with the jewelry and took out their long-saved gold ornaments; each box was quite heavy.
"There are too many, Dai Dai can hardly carry them all."
Lin Qingdai smiled at the elders, looking sweet and obedient.
Seeing his expression, the elders' anxious hearts finally calmed down a bit.
The noble lady from the capital truly didn't look down on their possessions.
Cheng Zhi was even happier.
She reached out and stroked the fabric of Lin Qingdai's arm, saying softly, "Dai Dai, don't be angry with Yu Jing. He had no choice."
Lin Qingdai nodded obediently, "Mother, don't worry, Dai Dai will definitely not have any grudges against my husband because of this."
"Grandpa and Mother, please don't worry too much."
"He will definitely come back safely."
Upon hearing this, both Ji Tongchuan and Cheng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Tongchuan then said, "Dai Dai, go and rest. Whether you stay at the Lin residence or the Ji family home, do whatever makes you happy."
Our Ji family doesn't have that many rules.
Lin Qingdai smiled, "Then I'll go back to the Lin residence first. This afternoon, I'd like to give some candy to the children in Lingdong."
"Take the opportunity to wander around and learn about the local customs and culture of Lingdong."
Cheng Zhi: "Okay, come home for dinner whenever you have time. Mom will cook you something delicious."
After chatting for a while, Lin Qingdai and Lin Qingyu led the group away from the Ji family's old residence.
Once inside the carriage, Lin Qingdai said to Lin Qingyu, "Brother, don't tell our parents about this when we get home."
My parents are reasonable people, so they will definitely understand.
But since they loved her so much, it's inevitable that they would feel some regret.
After listening, Lin Qingyu sighed softly.
"I had heard that Dongshao Kingdom was cruel and wicked before, but seeing it today, I know that the rumors were not exaggerated at all."
It seems that the concept of "righteousness" is not ingrained in their very being.
To achieve their goals, they'll disregard everything else.
Lin Qingdai recalled the brutal massacre in Sanxi Town, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "Therefore, the eastern border cannot be breached."
If they were to join forces with the neighboring Azure Kingdom, the danger of the Xun Kingdom's border being breached would be even greater.
She had to hurry and make Ningdong Army "rich" so that it would have enough military funds to support wave after wave of attacks from all sides.
Upon returning to the Lin residence, Lin Qingdai went straight into the reception room.
On their wedding day, a young couple went about their respective careers, a situation that is quite unique throughout history.
Breaking with convention is, in many people's eyes, even considered unlucky.
However, Lin Qingdai and Ji Yujing didn't care. What they wanted was a clean and bright future, not necessarily to fight for it.
Lin Qingyu and He Kemujing also went in with her.
Once seated, tea was served.
While Mingqian was still pouring tea for everyone, Lin Qingdai spoke up, her voice gentle, "Do the two seniors know any great masters skilled in medicine?"
"Eliminate those whose reputation has spread."
Just as a flicker of surprise crossed Lin Qingyu's eyes, He Ke had already spoken.
"What does Miss want to do?"
They were all old friends of the Lin family, so Lin Qingdai naturally trusted them.
She told the truth, "I want to invite them to Lingdong to help me build a career."
The phrase "to create a great career" made Lin Qingyu and the other two laugh.
Mu Jing asked her, "What kind of business would make the Second Miss personally take charge?"
It happened on her wedding day.
Lin Qingdai: "Lingdong is rich in medicinal herb resources, which can be found in any region except the far north. Some of them have been controlled by Ji Ci for many years, and any forces that need them must purchase them at high prices."
Now, she has reached an agreement with Ji and Jing, and can access these rare medicinal herbs.
"If we can develop a drug, we can become a third party in this business, and even benefit the people."
When it involves the general public, the market will be stimulated to the maximum extent.
This is an area that Ji and Jing do not have the energy or capital to get involved in at the moment.
Lin Qingyu perked up immediately, "Is there any for me?"
"Count me in."
"When siblings are of one mind, their strength can break even metal."
Lin Qingyu genuinely believed that this could work.
Moreover, given the current situation, they were the first to think of this.
Although the various factions are powerful, they cannot possibly develop a drug that is cheap for other factions.
Whether the public can benefit from it is even less of a concern.
Once the medicinal herbs are purchased, they are kept under one's own control.
Lin Qingdai: "Fine, what can I do? You're my brother."
The tone was arrogant, as if it were something they were doing reluctantly.
But Lin Qingyu knew it wasn't true, and was amused by her cute appearance.
"Remember to help your brother out when you do business in the future."
He Ke only spoke after the siblings' laughter subsided.
"You know what, Ah Jing and I actually know a few old hands who are good at medicine. But let's make it clear first, if things go well, we'll get a share of the profits."
Those old folks are hard to get.
Lin Qingdai: "It will definitely satisfy you and all of you great ones."
After reaching an agreement, Lin Qingdai, accompanied by Mingyue, returned to her room to rest.
I got up too early today, and after all that running around, I'm completely exhausted.
Mingqian was kept behind by her two masters.
He Ke asked her, "Have you been practicing swordsmanship diligently for the past six months?"
Mingqian stood upright with a serious expression.
He was completely different in front of Lin Qingdai.
It's all because her master is too fierce.
What kind of person could be capable of going toe-to-toe with Ji Yujing?
“I have practiced, and every time I encounter evil forces, I always confront them head-on. I have never done anything to bring shame to my two masters.”
Mu Jing chuckled at his little apprentice's amusement. "Really?"
"So, did you win?"
Mingqian: "..."
She hadn't even thought about it unless her master asked.
The two recent attempts seem to have both ended inconclusively?
One time, she felt tired and ran away.
General Ji's second rescue arrived, but she didn't have a chance to shine.
Her pause made Mu Jing chuckle, but He Ke's heart sank.
"How did I end up taking such a lazybones as my apprentice?"
“Come out with me.”
Mingqian really wanted to point her finger, "Master, what do you want to do?"
He Ke tossed out a sentence and walked straight outside.
"I will personally examine your current level. If you do not improve, I will expel you from my school."
Mingqian: "..."
All she wanted was to live a lazy and comfortable life, why was it so difficult?
After a brief moment of reflection, Mu Jing stood up and walked to Ming Qian's side, placing his hand on her lower back. "Let's go, Lazy."
Mingqian: "..."
At that moment, she really wanted to look up to the sky and roar.
She's not lazy!
She'd rather lie down than sit, and rather sit than stand.
This is what it means to know how to live.
...
Tranquility returned to both sides of the boundary marker.
Ji and Jing detained the soldiers of Dongshao Kingdom, releasing only three of them to return.
“Go back and tell Xuanzhi that one day I will take his head and burn it for the dead people of Sanxi Town.”
As he finished speaking, the Dongshao general, who had been firmly restrained, trembled and said, "The Crown Prince also has something to say to General Ji."
Ji Yujing remained silent, staring intently at him with a cold gaze.
A moment later, the general's scalp began to tingle. "The Crown Prince said that as long as he lives, Ji Yujing, you will never find happiness."
"How many times can a noble lady like Miss Lin endure such humiliation?"
"One time might not be enough to make her fall out of your heart, but what about two or three times?"
These words successfully struck a nerve with Ji Yujing, whether he wanted to admit it or not.
The sword in his hand suddenly shot up with astonishing speed.
The Dongshao general was terrified and instinctively tried to retreat, but he was held back and could not take a single step.
He could only close his eyes and beg for mercy repeatedly.
For some unknown reason, Ji Yujing did not kill him.
Just a brief and cold "Get out."
We spent the night in Sanxi Town.
Soldiers have been stationed here year-round, and while the facilities may not be the best, they are certainly complete. In addition, most of the people of Sanxi Town have moved to other safer places in Lingdong, leaving many houses vacant, so there is no shortage of places to live.
As dusk once again enveloped Sanxi Town, the soldiers finally had their evening meal.
This is the first meal I've had since last night.
Ye Xiao carried some things into a room.
He, Xu Xian, will be staying here tonight from Xinhe Ji and Jing.
When I went in, Ji Yujing had just finished showering outside.
His upper body was bare, revealing his impressive muscle definition.
Ye Xiao couldn't stand this, so he put the food on the square table in the room and started chattering away.
"I probably train about the same amount as you every day, so why aren't my abs as defined?"
Ji Yujing: "..."
He has some kind of mental disorder.
The words they spoke showed absolutely no brotherly affection.
"You have absolutely no idea how good your laziness is."
Ye Xiao got even angrier after hearing this. "When did I ever slack off? Don't talk nonsense, or I'll go home and tell my sister-in-law all the bad things about you."
Ji Yujing thought he was too childish and didn't bother to waste any more words with him.
He casually grabbed a shirt from his newly brought luggage and put it on, then strolled to the table, sat down, and began to eat.
Just as he picked up his chopsticks, Ye Xiao sat down opposite him, his dark eyes burning with a faint fire, clearly angered.
Why aren't you saying anything? Are you afraid your sister-in-law will scold you?
Ji Yujing glanced at him coldly, "Eat your food."
"If you say another word, get back to Jingning City."
Ye Xiao is not afraid of the fierce god at all: "Let's go back then. The house is not the same as before. There is a young lady from the capital now, and she has a lot more tricks up her sleeve."
"Moreover, my sister-in-law is beautiful, kind-hearted, and intelligent, completely different from a heartless and rude devil like you."
Bang!
At that moment, Ji Yujing was truly fed up with Ye Xiao.
He slammed the bowl and chopsticks back onto the table, a muffled thud that carried a strong sense of oppression.
Ye Xiao knew that his "recklessness" had reached its limit for today. If he provoked him any further, neither his sister-in-law nor his aunt could save him.
"Bro, take your time eating. I'm going out to eat with the other guys."
Before the words had even finished, the person had already rushed outside.
Judging by that speed, he has pushed his potential to the limit.
Because it was going so fast, it was hard to stop once it was out of the house, and the guys outside could tell what was going on right away.
"Young Master Xiao, is the General going to beat you up again?"
"You're really ruthless to yourself, aren't you? You even dared to provoke a great demon king who just came off the battlefield?"
"You still haven't been beaten up enough."
"If we weren't brothers, the Great Demon King's iron fist would have made you submit in one go."
...
Amidst the commotion, Ye Xiao walked towards his brothers, took an empty bowl and chopsticks, and squeezed into the middle of them to sit down.
"I'm trying to provoke his emotions, you understand?"
"He was killing so fiercely today, if he doesn't adjust his behavior, he'll really turn into a demon king."
"Awooo, I'll eat you all up."
The soldiers laughed, "Don't worry about that. Even if General Ji wants to eat people, he'll only eat those scum from Dongshao Kingdom."
Ye Xiao: "My brother doesn't like eating offal, he can't bring himself to eat it."
Hahahaha.
As always, "dullness" is impossible where Ye Xiao is.
Amidst the commotion, Congxin suddenly stood up, holding a bowl.
Ye Xiao: "What are you doing, Brother Xin?"
Congxin: "Send your brother some things, and I guarantee all his anger will disappear."
Ye Xiao: "Is there...?"
He originally wanted to ask if it was really that magical, but before he could say it, he thought of Lin Qingdai.
"Oh, I understand."
"Go."
"What is it that I could know?"
Without a moment's hesitation, he replied: "No."
"Get out of here, hurry up!"
Once inside the room, he wasn't flustered at all because he had something in his bag.
"Aren't you guys free?"
A low, cold voice, devoid of any emotion, came through.
My steps have not stopped. "I don't know if Xiao'er is idle or not, but I'm definitely not idle."
"I came with a mission."
Ji Yujing: "..."
A moment later, he sat down opposite Ji Yujing again, and then took out three items from the inner pocket of his clothes.
"This bag is mine."
"These two packs are for you."
“It was sent to the military camp by Mingqian, who is by my sister-in-law’s side. She said it was a gift from my sister-in-law to you.”
"As expected of a young lady from the capital, her manners are impeccable. She even gets a gift for bringing something for her friend. I've never experienced anything like this before."
"I was in a rush earlier and didn't have the mind to open it and take a look..."
The general was also quite long-winded, but because of the two small packages in front of him, Ji Yujing felt he could tolerate it.
He immediately took one and examined it closely; it was the same old thing—a bag of fruit candies.
Lin Qingdai, using such perfunctory coaxing tactics, she just keeps repeating the same trick over and over again.
As Ji Yujing thought this, her hands betrayed her, taking another one into her hand.
Pulling open the drawstring, this time there's finally something new.
There were some calming herbs and a note inside.
He took it out, unfolded it, and examined it closely. A line of delicate and elegant words caught his eye.
"Ji Yujing, my unparalleled heroes."
No matter how many frosts and snows lie ahead, I will accompany you to traverse them all.
