Chapter 142 Departure
The roses were blooming brightly, forming a sharp contrast with the fire behind Jun Qiulan that had not yet completely extinguished.
Two divine faces, standing face to face.
One of them was wearing a period costume, with some war-damaged clothes, and the other was wearing a modern outfit that was low-key but stylish.
This picture always feels fragmented yet inexplicably harmonious.
Someone couldn't help but take a picture of this scene.
Jun Qiulan smiled gently, but there was still a hint of the determination of the character in the play in his eyes.
In order to quickly get Jun Qiulan out of the scene, Yan Jing took out a big red envelope and said, "Happy wrap-up! This red envelope will get rid of bad luck."
Jun Qiulan couldn't contain herself and accepted the red envelope. "Thank you, Director Yan Jing."
There was thunderous applause at the scene.
Jun Qiulan bowed to everyone and said, "Thank you all for your hard work during this period. Thank you for your care."
Many actors, especially the veteran ones, felt emotional, saying this was the most comfortable and harmonious crew they had ever been on.
And no one dislikes Jun Qiulan.
Humble, smart, emotionally intelligent, and good at speaking.
Although he was the actor who took the most leave in the entire crew, no one had any objections.
Even though some of Jun Qiulan's scenes had to be reshot, no one had any objections, because when Jun Qiulan was filming, his scenes were definitely the most efficient.
When they are filming, they may have to reshoot a line or an expression over and over again.
In comparison, Jun Qiulan is already very powerful.
It was as if Jun Qiulan could understand Yan Jing’s needs and feelings more smoothly.
The actors and staff suddenly thought of the photos of Jun Qiulan and director Yan Jing that had been taken before.
The two seemed to have dealt with the matter in silence.
I looked at this big bouquet of roses again today.
Many people showed a knowing expression.
It’s nothing. Neither of them is a messy person. Just standing together, they are so well matched. What else can they worry about?
Jun Qiulan’s trip to Beijing must also be put on the agenda.
Leave the next day.
Jun Qiulan looked at the date and found it was a good, auspicious day suitable for traveling.
Jun Yu and Song Xirong both knew that their son had to go on this trip.
If the safety of General Huo's family cannot be guaranteed, there is no need to talk about their subsequent development.
If they had started an uprising somewhere else, they might have been able to gather the people who couldn't make ends meet, but this was a border town, and in the early stages they would have to rely on General Huo's military strength.
Otherwise, they might have called on the people to revolt one moment, and been suppressed by General Huo's troops the next.
"Be careful on your journey." Jun Yu patted his son's shoulder.
Jun Qiulan nodded, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I will go back there every day."
He told her that Yan Jing was going to go with him.
He also told me that they were planning to drive.
Jun Yu and Song Xirong were both hesitant to speak. It was obvious that they already knew the answer, but they had not yet discussed the issue properly.
According to his son's description, Yan Jing is really a good person, and the two of them look a good match.
Even though they are Jun Qiulan's parents, they can't help but feel a little awkward.
This is driving...
They have also been to Modern, although they have never left the community, but they can still see the scenes on the street from the windows of their home.
This car is square and can protect you from wind and rain. It should be great if you are in a hurry.
"When will Mrs. Huo come?"
Song Xirong: "I already talked to Madam Huo the day before yesterday. She should be here before you leave."
Jun Qiulan nodded, "I'll have to trouble mother with the things over there from now on."
Bringing Mrs. Huo over was also to make Huo Lian feel at ease first.
Mrs. Huo is a woman after all. After considering it, Song Xirong decided that she and Wan'er should go together, and they would also be able to take care of General Huo's family.
"I'll just have to trouble you, mother and little sister. Please try not to go out after you go there." Jun Qiulan had no choice. "Liu Yue will send you daily necessities regularly. If you have any special needs, Wan'er can call Liu Yue."
Jun Shuwan: "Don't worry, brother. Life over there is so convenient. We can just watch TV at home and kill time."
As for Jun Yu, he still has to stay here and take charge.
After everything was arranged, Jun Qiulan got the car back the next day.
Cover it with a tarpaulin.
It is a very tall and handsome car, and the wheels look very domineering.
Little did they know that Yan Jing had modified it specially for this matter.
Because of the special nature of the vehicle, they drove off directly for fear of scaring ordinary people.
In the afternoon, Huo Lan came over with Mrs. Huo.
He also brought a group of unremarkable men with him.
"These are the soldiers who follow my Huo family. They are all very skilled. It would be helpful for you to have someone to look after you as you set off."
Although they drive fast, they only set out at night, and the road conditions are limited, so it is impossible for them to drive at highway speeds.
These soldiers on horseback can definitely keep up.
"Thank you very much, General." Jun Qiulan said, "Please also arrange for the letter."
Huo Lian directly gave the letter to Jun Qiulan, "Don't worry, this letter looks like an ordinary family letter."
Jun Qiulan understood that there must be another way to "read the letter".
Moreover, since they had such a big plan, Huo Lian must have informed his family in advance.
In order to reassure Huo Lan, Jun Qiulan took the couple with him on a trip.
Let them take a look at the situation first.
"Then the old lady and the nephews will have to stay here for a while. When I come back, I will be able to send everyone off safely."
Huo Lan and his wife stood by the window, looking at a whole new world, with very complicated feelings.
It is indeed too magical. Of course, precisely because of the magic, their hearts are more at peace.
When the time came, Yan Jing also got off work and drove to Jun Qiulan's home.
He also changed into clothes that were convenient for traveling and brought a bunch of things that might be useful on the road.
Jun Qiulan took him to say hello to his mother and younger sister.
Yan Jing was very generous and even took out two gift boxes. "I was in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare a decent gift for my aunt and sister. These things can be used by everyone, so please don't despise them."
Song Xirong still felt a little awkward in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface: "Thank you for the hard work on the way to Beijing, Mr. Yan."
"It's not hard. I'm going with Ji Bai, so I can look after him."
Jun Shuwan was very receptive, "Brother Yan, thank you very much."
Yan Jing smiled and said, "Don't be so polite."
After just a few pleasantries, they were about to set off.
Jun Qiulan took Huo Lan and Yan Jing, who had just said goodbye to his wife, back to ancient times.
Huo Lian clasped his fists and said, "I won't say much else. This general has witnessed Master Jun's actions over the past year. After this, I, Huo, will follow you, risking my life."
Jun Qiulan responded, "General Huo, please don't say such things. We are all comrades, and everything we do is for the greater good."
The sky in the border town gets dark early, but you can still see the road clearly with the moonlight.
Jun Qiulan drove off with Yan Jing.
In ancient times, it was difficult to see people on the official road at night.
Especially since the border town had just fought a war, the news that the war was almost over was now blocked, and the people were still unaware of it. In their minds, a war would not end so quickly.
So for safety reasons, everyone usually goes home early before dark.
The official road has been paved with cement.
The large off-road vehicle drove on it very smoothly.
The group of palace soldiers who set out with them were divided into two teams.
A team set out early to meet up at the next location and also to explore the route.
The second group of people followed on horseback, not too close or too far away.
I saw the big black box vehicle in front of me, and it was running so fast without the power of cattle or horses.
This is amazing.
But they all know the answer and will not ask any more questions.
When it was completely dark, Jun Qiulan turned on the car lights.
"You know what, driving is really convenient." Jun Qiulan sighed.
He only learned to drive for a few days, but because his instructor was very good and he himself was quite smart, the journey went very smoothly when he set off today.
Yan Jing was sitting in the passenger seat, originally thinking that he could give some pointers, but it turned out that there was no place for him to use his skills at all.
"Lanlan is really great. When I first learned to drive and got my driver's license, I didn't dare to drive on the road."
Jun Qiulan couldn't help laughing. "How can this be the same? There are so many cars over there, and I have only one road and one car. As long as I know how to step on the accelerator and control the steering wheel, a dog can drive smoothly, right?"
Yan Jing also smiled: "If you are tired of driving, tell me and I will switch with you."
To be honest, Jun Qiulan, like most young people who have just learned to drive, is very interested in it. How could he feel tired?
But he didn't say directly: "Then you take a break first."
I have to shoot during the day and travel with him at night. Just thinking about it is very tiring.
Yan Jing didn't say much, took out his tablet and handled some work offline.
Jun Qiulan saw it but didn't say much and concentrated on driving.
It was not until late at night that they arrived at their next destination.
The car stopped and Yan Jing looked up. "Are you not leaving today?"
Jun Qiulan yawned and said, "I'm not leaving. I'm sleepy."
He knew Yan Jing must be sleepy too.
"The car is parked over here, covered with a tarp. The brothers in the back are watching over it, so nothing will go wrong. We can just go back over there and sleep."
Yan Jing smiled. It was indeed unsafe to drive for a long time. He was also a little sleepy, and it was not appropriate to drive while tired.
Several brothers on horseback also arrived.
Yan Jing took out a few winter tents directly from the trunk.
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers." Although Yan Jing is a modern man, his etiquette is impeccable.
"This tent can keep out the wind and rain, and the sleeping bag is also very warm. I'd like to trouble you brothers to look after the vehicles."
After covering it with the tarpaulin, people might look at it strangely during the day tomorrow, but there are a few strong men guarding it and they won’t come over to ask questions.
Several strong men also brought compressed biscuits.
Not to mention, this thing is quite delicious, fragrant, crispy, and very filling.
The burly man in the lead clasped his fists and said, "You're welcome, gentlemen."
Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing nodded slightly, got back into the car, and went straight back.
Mother and younger sister are still waiting.
Mainly watching TV series with Mrs. Huo.
The mother and daughter have been watching TV dramas for a long time, but this was Mrs. Huo's first time, and she was fascinated by it as soon as she watched it.
When I saw them coming out of the room, I realized that it was already very late.
She smiled sheepishly, "Mrs. Song, Miss Wan'er, I..."
It's quite embarrassing.
Song Xirong smiled warmly: "Don't say that Madam Huo was engrossed in watching. At the beginning, we could only watch the TV series downloaded by Lan'er. My husband and I hid in the room at night and could watch until dawn."
Fortunately, I could only use a power bank at that time, otherwise I could have lasted for another two days.
"Mom, little sister, go and rest first." Jun Qiulan stretched and pulled Yan Jing: "Wei Xi and I will sleep next door."
He bought all four units on this floor, and the layouts of the units are similar.
Liu Yue had also helped him prepare all the furniture and appliances before.
We hired housekeeping to clean the place a few days ago, so we can move in directly with our luggage.
Song Xirong: "You guys must be tired from traveling all night, do you want to eat something before going to sleep?"
"No need, mother." Jun Qiulan: "Wei Xi prepared a lot of food. We ate some in the car. We will rest today. You should also rest early. Don't stay up late watching TV. It's bad for your eyes."
Yan Jing tried to hold back his laughter beside him.
After saying hello, he followed Jun Qiulan back to the next room.
There were so many rooms, but Yan Jing followed Jun Qiulan back to the master bedroom very naturally.
Jun Qiulan hesitated to speak, his ears reddened.
He is an adult too.
After hesitating for a moment, he pursed his lips and said, "You still have to go to the crew to film tomorrow."
Where is the director?
Actors can take leave, but directors can’t.
He can still hide and sleep for a while tomorrow, but Yan Jing can't stay in bed all the time.
It seems that I can only sleep less than seven hours.
Yan Jing smiled and tapped Jun Qiulan's forehead: "What are you thinking about? I just want to sleep with you, is that too much?"
Jun Qiulan: "..."
What a good way to put the blame on someone else.
"Go wash up." Yan Jing took the toiletries and went to the bathroom outside very naturally.
Jun Qiulan was speechless for a while, quickly washed up, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
After a while, he felt the soft mattress sink in, and soon he was in a warm embrace.
Yan Jing kissed his forehead and said, "Go to sleep."
The next morning, when Yan Jing woke up, he did not wake up Jun Qiulan. He quietly washed up and prepared to leave for the crew.
When I opened the door, I happened to meet Liu Yue coming to deliver breakfast.
"Director Yan, I also bought some for you and Lanlan, would you like to have some?"
Yan Jing did not refuse, "Thank you for your hard work recently. If you have anything, just send me a message. I'm here during the day."
Liu Yue nodded, "I understand."
She is now an insider, so naturally she has to cover for Lanlan.
Song Xirong just opened the door, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Yan Jing was still a bit complicated.
Although I have accepted psychologically that my son is really a homosexual, I still feel uncomfortable.
It will probably take some time to recover.
Yan Jing probably understood Song Xirong's thoughts. In ancient times, family inheritance and the continuation of bloodline were very important.
As long as he is with Jun Qiulan, it is destined that they cannot have children of their own.
All he could say about this was sorry.
As for the rest, there is no need to say more now. Let's wait and see future actions. Time will prove everything.
If we set out again this evening, the road would no longer be paved with cement.
The official road was covered with compacted soil.
Fortunately, it hasn't rained recently, so the road is relatively flat.
Jun Qiulan was still joking: "When other people walk this road tomorrow and see such deep tire tracks, I'm afraid they will have to discuss it for a while."
Yan Jing smiled and said, "That can't be helped."
After all, he was worried about letting Jun Qiulan ride into the capital on horseback.
There is a car that can block the assassination.
It was Jun Qiulan's first time driving on such a road, and his speed was much slower than yesterday.
Yan Jing was finally able to give him some advice.
I enjoyed teaching my boyfriend how to drive.
In the second half, Jun Qiulan couldn't persuade Yan Jing and let Yan Jing drive for two hours.
When they arrived at their destination, the two returned to modern times.
But when I was driving back that night, not long after I set out, I came to an official road that passed through the mountains and forests, and dark shadows rushed towards me from all directions.
Jun Qiulan braked subconsciously, "Oh no, someone is really following us."
I just don't know who these people are.
Yan Jing's face was stern. "No matter whose generals they are, if they dare to come here today, there is no reason to let them return alive."
He pulled out a handful of truth from under the seat.
Jun Qiulan was stunned.
He knew that this thing was extremely lethal.
He had thought before that if they could get a batch back, wouldn’t they be invincible in the war?
But this thing is illegal.
He looked at Yan Jing and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yan Jing explained: "This was given to me by my grandfather. Don't worry, if he can get it, it must be legal."
Jun Qiulan opened his mouth. Is there something wrong?
Yan Jing then added, "I've studied abroad before and experienced even more brutal attacks. Don't worry, I won't be soft-hearted, and I won't be scared."
All of these people were armed, and the strong men following them had already drawn their swords and started fighting with them.
It was obvious that every move of the opponent was aimed at their lives.
In this situation, being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself.
So he showed no mercy.
Under the effect of the silencer, there was not even much noise, and more than a dozen men in black fell silent.
The strong men exchanged glances with each other but asked no questions.
"Gentlemen, please wait for us brothers to clean up the scene first."
We can't just leave them to die in the wilderness.
Of course, these people are accomplices to the evil, and their death is not a pity. But if we leave them here, they will probably scare the people passing by the next day.
Jun Qiulan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers."
One of them stepped forward and said, "Master Jun, I have to go ahead and inform the brothers ahead to conduct a thorough investigation."
You can't have to endure an assassination every day.
Jun Qiulan agreed.
Everyone is busy.
The nights in ancient times were quiet, and occasionally one could hear the chirping of unknown birds. He turned around and looked at Yan Jing with mixed feelings.
He hesitated for a moment, "Does Grandpa Yan know my origins?"
Yan Jing went to the crew to film during the day, and had to travel with him at night, so naturally he couldn't waste time going home.
Jun Qiulan thought about the issue of their family's identity again.
Master Qingheng had repeatedly assured him that this man was absolutely trustworthy, that he wouldn't ask too many questions or overthink things, and that he owed him a favor.
Now that I think about it, isn’t this person Grandpa Yan?
Grandpa Yan and Master Qingheng have a good relationship. It's a lifelong friendship.
It doesn't take much thought to know that it is not easy to find out the identities of their entire family.
The fact that they can do this only proves that the person behind it is very capable and has extensive connections.
Grandpa Yan obviously meets this condition very well.
I didn’t think much about it before, but today Yan Jing took out a handful of truth and said that it was given to him by his grandfather.
That's very obvious.
He didn't understand the situation abroad, but he knew there were wars there, but at home, there was peace and freedom.
In this case, why would Grandpa Yan give his grandson the truth for no reason?
Yan Jing hesitated for a moment: "I just found out about it a few days ago."
Grandpa didn't let him talk about his origins yet, so he could only talk about the tea that day.
He bought a few boxes here and then came back, and happened to come across a few boxes that Qingheng had sent to his grandfather.
Jun Qiulan opened his mouth, but really didn't know what to say.
To ease his mind, Yan Jing said, "Lanlan, don't worry. Grandpa didn't even tell me before. If I hadn't seen him and asked him, he wouldn't have told me."
Jun Qiulan sighed and said hesitantly, "Thanks to Grandpa Yan for his hard work."
"You're welcome. Grandpa likes you very much. He even told me that day to take you back for tea. From now on, I've already prepared the right address and the money for you to change your name."
Jun Qiulan held his forehead and said, "I'll go see Grandpa Yan after things here are over."
"good."
Jun Qiulan was curious again: "Speaking of which, Grandpa Yan is so old, how did he accept my amazing origin? Wasn't he scared?"
Yan Jing: "Maybe you should ask Taoist Qingheng what he said to grandpa."
His answer was ambiguous.
He didn't want to deceive Lanlan, but he also promised his grandfather that he would not reveal his grandfather's identity for the time being.
At the same time, he promised his grandfather that he would inquire about the Yan family's affairs. He was busy filming recently, and they were traveling at night, so he really had no chance to inquire.
If I directly ask Lanlan if she knows about the Yan family of this era, wouldn’t that be exposing myself?
A minority with the same surname.
He went to a strange world to inquire about a family with the same surname as himself. Isn't it obvious that there is something wrong?
Thinking about doing these things, Yan Jing actually felt dizzy.
He had said before that Jun Qiulan was someone who could keep a secret. If he hadn't personally witnessed the time travel that day, and if he hadn't noticed any clues later, who knows how long he could have kept it a secret.
Now it seems that Lanlan's ability to conceal things is nothing compared to his grandfather's.
Grandpa has kept this a secret his entire life.
That is, my grandmother, who only had a vague understanding of the truth before, only learned the whole truth with him that day.
"What are you thinking about?" Jun Qiulan asked.
Yan Jing shook his head and changed the subject. "It's okay. This assassination is hard to prevent, and our whereabouts have been exposed. Should we take a day off and find a city to stay in for a day to stagger the time?"
In ancient times, information was transmitted slowly, and they were unable to travel as scheduled. Those who came to assassinate them had to reschedule.
It just so happened that he could go and see the ancient city and inquire about the Yan family.
Jun Qiulan thought about it and said, "It's not necessary."
You can avoid the first day, but you can’t avoid the fifteenth.
Yan Jing also agreed.
During the following period, they repeated the same process and traveled in the middle of the night.
Occasionally, assassinations were encountered, but they were suppressed by the truth.
