Ji Yunxi handed out a towel to each person, and everyone stood on the roadside, waiting for the Linnan Army to arrive.
Upon hearing this news, the people in the mine couldn't help but feel excited.
"The Linnan Army has finally arrived!"
"Great, great! The Linnan Army is here! Everyone is saved, everyone is saved!"
"I've been waiting for a long time. It's great that they've arrived. My brothers and sisters are still down there, and their lives are uncertain. Bodhisattva, please bless them, they are all safe and sound. Amitabha, Amitabha."
“…”
In a moment, the entrance of the mine was crowded with people, looking outside expectantly.
Baofu and Qiuyu happened to be standing together. They subconsciously held hands together and stood on tiptoe to look outside.
But realizing something, they quickly separated their hands and rolled their eyes.
Even the officers, soldiers and constables who were rescuing below would glance towards the shore from time to time.
These more than a hundred people have been holding on for several days.
But even so, many people are still washed away by floods every day.
Many people had already frozen to death in the icy river when they were found.
The constable, who always had Qinghe wine with him, pinched his brows and used a little strength to regain his composure.
Throughout the day, he felt dizzy several times in the wind and rain.
There was even a time when he was so exhausted that he was almost washed away by the flood, but the brothers around him pulled him up in time.
Everyone is very tired and urgently needs someone to take over and take turns to rest.
But they had no one before. Now that people from the army have come, they can feel a little relieved.
For a moment, everyone was in a state of uncertainty.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, as if stepping on everyone's hearts, and no one blinked.
Gradually, the leading man and horse appeared in everyone's sight.
The man held the military flag high in one hand and the reins in the other, and rushed towards this side.
The military flag above stood firm in the wind and rain, with one word written on it:
discipline.
Ji Yunxi stared at the military flag, pursed her lips, and subconsciously clenched her two slightly clasped hands.
She said to Wu Wei'an, "That's not the Linnan Army, it's the Ji Family Army."
He is her second brother's soldier.
But her second brother was clearly stationed at the border, not close to this place.
There was a cold look in Ji Yunxi's eyes.
The reason why the emperor dared not take action against the Ji family was that, in addition to the eldest brother's disciples and scholars in the court, the second brother's Ji family army was the key.
Ji Mingyan, who was standing by, stared at the flag and his mood suddenly sank to the bottom.
The leader came quickly. When he was close, he dismounted gracefully and said to everyone, "My lords, the Ji army has arrived! The troops ahead will arrive in a cup of tea. General Ji ordered me to come and inform them first."
Wu Wei'an, who held the highest official position, said, "Stand up."
Qian Yining stood up.
Wu Wei'an asked him, "Why the Ji Family Army? What about the Linnan Army?"
Qian Yining asked respectfully, "Your Excellency, a month ago, the General received an imperial decree from the Emperor, ordering the Ji Family Army and the Linnan Army to exchange forces."
Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian looked at each other.
Wu Weian lowered his gaze to her tightly clenched hands.
He pursed his lips slightly and reached out to hold it gently.
He had just come up from downstairs, his whole body was wet, and his hands were icy cold.
Ji Yunxi's hands trembled from the cold, but she didn't avoid it.
It only takes a cup of tea or the blink of an eye.
Ten thousand Ji family soldiers pressed forward to the front of the road, with a man in the lead wearing a black coat, silver-white soft armor, and his long hair tied up high.
His face was majestic and cold, and he tightened his hand, and the best horse stopped instantly.
Ji Minghao rolled off his horse and landed on the ground, his sharp eyes sweeping over.
Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian held hands and smiled at him.
He took a deep look at his third sister, whom he hadn't seen for two years, and then looked at the man holding hands with his third sister.
The man had a handsome appearance, not as ugly as his seventh brother described in the letter.
Her temperament was also okay. She met his gaze without avoiding it, with a faint smile on her lips. She was not as delicate as a woman as his seventh brother said.
Ji Minghao glanced past and frowned slightly when his eyes fell on the prince.
When coming to Qinghe County this time, Ji Minghao guessed that he would meet his third sister and the legendary third brother-in-law.
But he never expected that he would actually meet the prince!
But this is not the place to talk. Ji Minghao nodded slightly to the prince and then looked at the person next to him.
Ji Mingyan hid behind the prince, showed his head, waved at him, and then ran away.
In Ji Mingyan's view, the eldest brother is a kind mother and the second brother is a strict father.
He was beaten by his second brother many times since he was a child.
Ji Mingyan hurried down and found Ji Mingshuang in a few steps.
Ji Mingshuang paid no attention to what was happening outside. He carried the old man to the boat and wiped the rain off his face. "How is it? Has the Linnan Army arrived?"
Ji Mingyan said, "Second brother is here."
Ji Mingshuang said "oh" and turned to leave.
But suddenly, he paused, turned around, and his voice instantly became louder: "Second brother?!"
Ji Mingyan nodded: "It's not the Linnan Army that's coming, it's the Ji Family Army, it's my second brother."
Ji Mingshuang was stunned and quickly raised his foot to move upwards.
Since childhood, Ji Mingshuang has had the best relationship with his second brother.
But after taking half a step, Ji Mingshuang saw that there were still people trapped. He couldn't bear to leave and went to rescue them as usual.
Before they could save many people, small teams of Ji's army ran down the slope in an orderly manner.
Ji Minghao had already made arrangements on what his subordinates should do during the march, so the Ji family army moved very quickly. After a while, the 10,000 soldiers who had just been in orderly order each did what they were supposed to do.
Some teams went to cut trees to make boats, while others dived directly into the rushing flood like fish, flapping their arms and hands, swimming towards the people who were calling for help.
