Chapter 42: Want to pack up and run away



Although she couldn't curse him out loud, Lin Jiuyue had already cursed the emperor to death in her heart.

If this damn emperor hadn't been so obsessed with pursuing "immortality", the Nanyue Kingdom wouldn't have been living like this, and I wouldn't have been forced to flee famine as soon as I traveled through time.

"This matter can't be entirely blamed on that person..."

"Stop! If not him, who else can we blame? Can we blame me? It's his fault for not doing his job, and he still wants to live forever? If such a person really does achieve 'immortality', it will be the real misfortune of the people of Nanyue!"

Seeing Lin Jiuyue’s big reaction, Ji Liangchuan opened his mouth and stopped speaking for the emperor.

But what Lin Jiuyue said made sense. No matter how good the emperor was before, he was still doing bad things to the people.

"Hey, Ji Liangchuan, do you think our Nanyue Kingdom can withstand this crisis?"

Lin Jiuyue was a little worried.

Originally, the strength of the four countries was not much different, but after listening to what Ji Liangchuan said, the current Nanyue Kingdom is not only much weaker than the other three countries, but also has to face the "division" of the three countries.

Even if they manage to hold on, it will probably be difficult to recover in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiuyue planned to pack up and run away.

Ji Liangchuan was silent.

Whether they could resist or not, they themselves were not sure. But what was certain was that no matter whether Nanyue won or lost, the people of Nanyue would not have an easy life.

"Looking at you like this, Nanyue Kingdom is probably in trouble."

Lin Jiuyue sighed.

I thought that after traveling through time and space, I could become a big winner in life with the help of Lingquan Space, but now it seems that I can forget about becoming a big winner in life, and I’m lucky enough to be able to keep my life.

Bah! What the hell is your life? Your own life is precious.

"The ending is still unknown until the end."

Lin Jiuyue curled her lips.

Others become extremely wealthy when they travel through time, but I not only have to flee famine, but may also experience war and even be the one being beaten. Why am I so unlucky?

"Are you so confident in the Kingdom of Nanyue?"

Ji Liangchuan pondered for a moment.

"So what if I have confidence? So what if I don't? I grew up on this land. The people of Nanyue are my compatriots. I can't just sit there and watch them suffer."

"Can you control it?"

Lin Jiuyue choked out something, and suddenly remembered the tragic situation when China was invaded, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Why does this ruler only care about expanding territory and wielding military power? Why can't he show a little compassion for these ordinary people? Is power really more important than human life?

Ji Liangchuan pursed his lips tightly.

Who cares?

I have to take care of it even if I can't. As a citizen of Nanyue, I have been taught since childhood to protect my country. If I really let myself do nothing, I can't do it.

When Lin Jiuyue saw Ji Liangchuan like this, she guessed that Ji Liangchuan's identity was not ordinary.

"Just ignore me."

He left after saying this.

After staying in the cave for one night on the first day, neither Lin Jiuyue nor Lin Qiye slept well. The next day, the brother and sister found an excuse to rest on a tree outside the cave.

They said they rested in the tree, which means that after everyone else fell asleep, the brother and sister entered the space.

"Sister, what are you whispering about with Brother Ji?"

Lin Qiye leaned close to Lin Jiuyue's ear and asked quietly.

"Nothing, you're just a kid, why are you asking so many questions?"

Lin Qiye was disappointed and reluctantly went into the space to rest.

Lin Jiuyue was also very irritable and didn't sleep well the whole night.

As the day dawned, the people in the team had already started to move.

Lin Jiuyue and the others had packed their things the night before, so they just had to wait until dawn to set off.

When they set out, Lin Jiuyue did not see Ji Liangchuan. After asking the village chief, she learned that Ji Liangchuan was walking ahead to lead the way.

"Qiye, can you push this cart?"

Lin Jiuyue put the extra things in the space and covered the cart with oilcloth. It looked like there were a lot of things on it, but it was actually not that heavy.

In addition, Lin Qiye is very strong, so it is not too difficult for him to push the cart.

"Yes, sister, where are you going?"

"I'm going to find your brother Ji."

After saying that, he added another sentence, fearing that Lin Qiye might misunderstand.

"I have something to ask him."

Lin Qiye's smile was meaningful.

"Is that so? Then go ahead and leave the job of pushing the cart to me. Don't worry."

When Lin Jiuyue saw Lin Qiye's expression, she wanted to explain, but she opened her mouth and still didn't explain.

Forget it, what's the point of explaining so much? The more I explain, the more this kid thinks the opposite.

Walking quickly to the front of the team, Lin Jiuyue soon saw Ji Liangchuan holding a scimitar and leading the way.

Without saying a word, he followed and walked in front, clearing weeds and other things as he walked.

"Why are you here?"

Ji Liangchuan frowned.

I talked with this girl last night and we parted on bad terms. When I set out this morning, I didn't see her. I thought she had gone to the mountains to look for something again. I didn't expect her to come here at this time.

Lin Jiuyue glanced at Ji Liangchuan.

"What? I can't come?"

Ji Liangchuan:......

"Ji Liangchuan, are you going to leave after we reach our destination?"

Through last night's conversation, Lin Jiuyue guessed that Ji Liangchuan was not an ordinary person, so she asked this question.

Ji Liangchuan didn't stop his movements. He just said "hmm" lightly.

When Lin Jiuyue heard the "hmm", she couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.

It goes without saying that after Ji Liangchuan leaves, he will definitely join the army.

Neither Lin Jiuyue, the martial arts coach, nor Lin Jiuyue from Lijia Village, had many friends. Ji Liangchuan was one of them. He really didn't want him to die.

"Are you in such a hurry to die?"

Lin Jiuyue's tone was a little bad, but Ji Liangchuan felt a hint of concern in Lin Jiuyue's tone.

"You know my kung fu. It's not that easy to die."

Lin Jiuyue curled her lips.

The battlefield is ever-changing, swords and knives are merciless, and life and death hang on a thin line. Just because he said it wouldn't be that easy to die, did it really mean it wouldn't be that easy to die?

If it were me, I would definitely live in fear, thinking it is better to live a miserable life than to die.

"The battlefield is no joke. If you're not careful, you could die."

"I know."

Ji Liangchuan was the only son of the general who defended the country, but he suffered from a serious illness since childhood. The general was stationed at the border all year round, so he sent Ji Liangchuan to Mount Wutai in Qing'an County for recuperation.

During these years in Mount Wutai, I have not neglected my martial arts practice.

This year, I had just recovered a bit, and the General's Mansion sent someone to take me back to the capital. Unexpectedly, the people from Xiliang State discovered my whereabouts, and we were ambushed along the way. The person who came to pick me up was also killed. I was the only one who escaped.
