Gu Jinke caught him and naturally held him in his arms, calling him affectionately and joyfully: "Axin!"
To others, they were indeed a loving couple.
However, Li Yuxin quickly came back to his senses from his ecstasy and became worried. He leaned close to Gu Jinge's ear and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, why are you here alone? This is a barbarian. I will kill him by surprise later. Your Highness, let Xun Ji cover you and leave quickly."
Gu Jinke raised his eyebrows. Their skins were touching, and he could sensitively sense the breathing temperature of the person next to him.
Gu Jinke put his arm around his waist and whispered, "If I run away, what will you do?"
From the perspective of Xun Ji, who was in the know, and the city lord's daughter, they couldn't help but think that this couple was reunited after a short separation and couldn't help but be intimate as soon as they met.
It's so tight and so affectionate.
But when Li Yuxin heard Gu Jinke's question, she did not feel any lingering, but instead felt care and tenderness. He was startled, then smiled and whispered, "I am very good at martial arts, I can also run away, Your Highness."
As he spoke, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the city lord's daughter, he kissed the side of Gu Jinke's face, and then he said loudly and coquettishly: "My dear wife, Ah Xin missed you so much!"
Gu Jinke hugged his waist: "Since you miss me, hug me first."
As he spoke, he put his arm around the man's waist and picked him up, then turned and walked away: "As for Xun Ji, who escorted my husband back, treat him well and thank him."
Li Yuxin was caught off guard and hugged up. His face was hot and his eyes seemed to be a little wet. However, he was still thinking about the business and tried his best to lower his voice and said, "Your Highness..."
Gu Jinke was not going to tease him anymore and whispered, "Don't worry, there are arrangements."
But she spoke in a low voice, and a loud voice collided with it, completely covering her voice. The city lord's daughter shouted, "Go up and capture that official alive, and capture that young master as well! Hehe, kill two birds with one stone! I have a beauty again, and I can have fun tonight!"
Because her voice covered up what Gu Jinke was saying, Li Yuxin didn't hear it at all. He frowned and asked in confusion, "Hmm? What did your highness say?"
Gu Jinke was no longer prepared to explain. The meaning revealed in the words of the city lord's daughter was indeed disgusting. She frowned and said, "Xun Ji! Break her hand first."
After all, her mouth is still useful temporarily. When it is no longer needed, let her shut it! But the hands can be discounted first.
Xun Ji responded, but the city lord's daughter had already regarded all of them as easy prey. After all, according to her understanding, the civil servants of the Jin Dynasty were all weak scholars.
According to Li Yuxin's fabrication, Gu Jinke worked for the princess and was thin, looking like a civil servant. Xun Ji was alone, and Li Yuxin was just another man. It was easy to capture these three people.
Therefore, she rushed forward with full confidence, and the people following her were also very excited. After all, they all knew the purpose of this trip. They didn't expect to really catch a big fish. This fish was someone close to the Princess of Jin. Judging from his demeanor, it seemed that he held a high official position. If they really caught the fish, they might be able to achieve great success!
As for her husband, Li Yuxin, everyone thought of the grace of Li Yuxin when she pushed the door open in a red dress. Their hearts suddenly warmed up, and they felt that every part of their limbs was filled with strength.
For a moment everyone was furious, but soon another group of people appeared and surrounded them! The sound of galloping horses came from afar and gradually approached. Someone on his horse had already bent his bow and shot an arrow, aiming directly at the barbarian's legs and the wrist holding the weapon.
Xun Ji was even more decisive in his moves. After all, His Highness had specifically wanted to break the hand of the city lord's daughter. The sword in her hand was not unsheathed, but she went straight for the city lord's daughter's hands holding the weapon, and then smashed it down fiercely.
The city lord's daughter watched Xun Ji's sword flying towards her, and tried to dodge in fear, but it was too late. The heavy sheath hit her forearm with great force.
"Crack." She heard the sound of her bones breaking with her own ears, and then the scimitar in her hand was shaken out of her hand, and due to the recoil force, it spun twice in the air, and then fell down, falling straight down.
The city lord's daughter should have been delighted if she hadn't been unable to control her staggering feet and body that was falling forward due to her injured hand.
Her knife fell quickly, about to strike her directly on the back. Xun Ji opened his eyes wide and immediately flew over to take it. After all, His Highness only wanted her hand temporarily and was not ready to take her life. If she was killed...
Xun Ji pursed his lips, and couldn't help but speed up, barely grabbing the falling knife handle. Then an elbow hit the city lord's daughter on the back with a "bang".
The city lord's daughter didn't struggle at all. She fell to the ground and fainted, splashing dust all over the ground.
Gu Jinke turned around with Li Yuxin and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad! The last elbow strike was beautiful."
Xun Ji picked up his sword from the ground, threw down the knife of the city lord's daughter, and smiled.
The city lord's daughter fainted quickly, but the people she brought with her suffered a lot of torture, because they had planned to capture them alive, and the arrows shot at the people in the encirclement were not aimed directly at the vital parts, but mostly hit the wrists, ankles, calves, forearms and other places.
This was quite a test of the encirclers' abilities, but fortunately the people brought by Gu Jinke were quite capable. After cutting a group of barbarians into four-limbed hedgehogs, they ended the battle with great ease.
Gu Jinge nodded in satisfaction, but Li Yuxin widened his eyes: "Your Highness, why are you here?"
And by such a coincidence, he saved him and surrounded these barbarians?
Gu Jinke let go of his waist. Now that everyone had been arrested, she was not afraid that Li Yuxin would do something unexpected. She asked, "I also want to know why Master Li is here."
When Li Yuxin was let go by her, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the place on his waist where she had held him before. He unconsciously put his hands behind his back and gently rubbed his waist.
Then when the other person heard Gu Jinke's question, he couldn't help but choke and looked up at the person in front of him unconsciously. Why did he appear here? There was only one reason from beginning to end.
He looked at Gu Jinke with his clear eyes without saying a word, but Gu Jinke couldn't bear it anymore.
She tilted her head and cleared her throat, then explained why she was here.
"I went out to check on the slaughtered village and found some human traces, so I sneaked in to check. I didn't expect to see you coming out of the house, so..."
Li Yuxin immediately understood what she meant. No wonder she was so cooperative. She was both the wife and the husband... Just trying to understand this, Li Yuxin's face turned red. So, Her Royal Highness must have heard it all.
I heard his fabricated stories about his wife, and also heard his boastful boasting about his thoughtfulness...!
Sure enough, Gu Jinke thought of the compliments he received when he was dealing with the city lord's daughter, and couldn't help but smile, and teased, "Wife? The best in the world?"
Although Li Yuxin's face was red, she couldn't help but feel happy when she saw her eyes narrowed when she smiled, and some little thoughts began to arise in her mind.
He clenched his fists, then looked up at Gu Jinke's face, met her smiling eyes, and nodded generously: "Yes! My wife is the best in the world, the most powerful in Ah Xin's heart, and the best person to me."
The reason why he could be so half-hearted and perfunctory with the barbarian so smoothly was because he already had such a person in his heart, and he was looking forward to living such a life with her, so he spoke with sincerity and joy, and actually made the barbarian believe it.
Gu Jinke looked at the burning passion and lingering affection in his eyes, his gaze slightly moved: "Li..."
Li Yuxin also looked at her expectantly.
"Your Highness, there is a letter for you." Xun Ji came hurriedly to report, interrupting the emotions that were brewing here.
Gu Jinke coughed, and Li Yuxin lowered his eyes in disappointment: "Your Highness, please deal with the official business first!"
Xun Ji then realized that she seemed to have disturbed something and was a little annoyed for a moment, but she couldn't retreat now. Li Yuxin turned and left, and Gu Jinke took the bamboo tube from her hand.
Gu Jinke took the bamboo tube, glanced at Li Yuxin who was motionless, and frowned subconsciously.
She stroked the thin bamboo tube in her hand, opened the lid, pulled out a piece of paper from it, and then frowned in confusion.
What was delivered this time was not any news, but some methods of delivering news and available manpower.
She pinched the edge of the paper tightly, looking puzzled for a moment, then picked up the bamboo tube again to examine it carefully. This time the bamboo tube was also different, as it had been redrawn and covered by someone.
Gu Jinke's hand slid along the straight line of the bamboo tube's crack, glanced at the barbarian who was pinned down and Li Yuxin who had turned his back, and collected his thoughts: "Okay, let's go back."
The group rushed back to the city.
Li Yuxin's spirit has been tense today, so Gu Jinke took the lead in arranging someone to take him downstairs to rest. The matter on the bamboo tube was temporarily put aside. Gu Jinke and his men decided to interrogate the city lord's daughter first.
The city lord's daughter was awakened by a basin of icy water. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the faces of Gu Jinke and Xun Ji.
Before she could figure out how she had ended up in this situation, Xun Ji had already cut open her clothes, approached her with a branding iron, and then pointed the red-hot iron at her body, as if he was hesitating about which Feng Shui spot was suitable to place the iron.
The city lord's daughter shrank back uncomfortably, but the next moment she realized something was wrong with her body. She was completely unable to move, and her limbs were tied up tightly, unable to move at all.
She was shocked. She knew without even a wave of her hand that the identities and status of both parties had completely changed. She became a fish on the chopping board. Before she could think of any solution, she heard Gu Jinke's voice and was startled.
Seeing the city lord's daughter's eyes moving quickly, Gu Jinke smiled and said, "City lord...daughter!? I wonder what you have to say to me since you have come to our Jin State?"
Hearing this voice, the city lord's daughter's heart sank, and the premonition in her heart suddenly became real: her life was probably over.
Just like she wanted to get an official from the State of Jin, Gu Jinke also wanted to get someone with status and position in the barbarian country. However, after knowing the other party's identity, how could he be willing not to make full use of this identity?
Therefore, when Gu Jinke walked out of the prison, she had a smile on her face. She took the handkerchief handed over by Xun Ji, wiped her hands slowly, and then smiled and ordered: "Since now is a good opportunity, then pass the message to the Duke of Zhenguo Xu Yeliang. Send troops now to seize the first city of the Barbarian Kingdom. There is no time to lose!"
"Yes!" Xun Ji answered loudly, took the order and went down.
According to the confession of the city lord's daughter, the reason why she was so eager to come out to Jin State to take risks was not only because she wanted to establish her career, but also because the Barbarian State itself was in chaos, and she had to make bloody achievements to stabilize her position and future in the Barbarian State.
This is also closely related to the rampant Barbarian Kingdom this year. The output of the Barbarian Kingdom's territory has fallen again this year because of extreme weather conditions. Many cities have lost all their crops, and the cattle and sheep livestock have become sick. As a result, more people's families have been broken up and they have flocked to the border, yearning for the abundant life of the Great Jin Dynasty. This has indirectly led to the chaos in this city.
As the leader of the city, the daughter of the city lord knew more clearly that the disaster was far more serious than she had imagined, so she was eager to make a contribution and make the State of Jin suffer a defeat, because this might also help them capture a city in the State of Jin and seize food.
After hearing this news, Gu Jinke immediately had an idea, so he came out and arranged for the Duke of Zhenguo to send troops. But she remembered what the city lord's daughter said about the sick livestock, and her face became more serious. She called out to Xun Ji who was leaving: "Tell the Duke of Zhenguo to bring a doctor with him, and not to eat any livestock from the Barbarian Country! And then monitor our horses at all times!"
Xun Ji's face became serious: "Yes, Your Highness."
Gu Jinke finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up at the sky and prepared to go around here, through the street, and then go straight back to the arranged mansion, which would be closer.
But as they walked, Gu Jinke's mind relaxed for a rare moment, and she remembered the bamboo tube she had put away. She took it out again, hesitated for a moment, and then found the gap.
In fact, she had originally guessed in her heart that this bamboo tube was sent by Li Yuxin, but when she saw Li Yuxin's indifferent expression when the bamboo tube appeared on the ancient road, she rejected this idea.
Now, she looked at the gap, somehow, took a breath, and then slowly opened it.
As expected, there was still something inside the bamboo tube this time. It was a female figure carved out of bamboo. Gu Jinke could tell that it was her, because he grasped the other person's charm very well. Gu Jinke could tell at a glance that it was his own subconscious look of deep thought.
She reached out and slowly stroked the patterns on the bamboo carvings, and then touched two small words on the hem of the bamboo carvings.
Gu Jinke confirmed it again and saw that the name engraved on it was "Si Ke".
She was a little stunned for a moment.
Si Ke!
Who is he?
Gu Jinke looked up in a rare bewilderment. She was already in the bustling street. People were coming and going, including chattering children, nagging old people, shouting vendors, friends meeting in twos and threes, and wives and husbands whispering to each other.
Gu Jinke looked at everything in front of him, and couldn't help but have a bit of inquiry in his eyes, and then he slowly looked around.
In this bustling crowd, is that "he" also in some corner, occasionally looking up at her quietly, sending her a message, asking her to rest early, and then quietly carving her figure in a bamboo tube and writing "Si Ke"?
She was searching aimlessly, and suddenly her eyes fixed.
