Someone dared to take action in Jindu, but reinforcements were slow to arrive, proving that the city of Jindu is no longer safe. It is very likely that the officials were in cahoots with the gangsters.
"I'm not that weak." Du Yaoyao refused to give in and consoled him, "You're a lucky boy. I'll be fine if I follow you."
Believe that the male protagonist has a halo!
As the night deepened, Du Yaoyao lay in Shen Jie's arms and rested. I was woken up by a loud noise in the middle of the night.
Yan Jin came with everyone.
Of the two or three hundred guards who originally stayed to fight, only twenty or thirty are left now.
"The other side might be Nanzhao people. They have peculiar swordsmanship, and the arrows and swords they shoot are poisoned. Our people are hard to defend against..." Yan Jin said truthfully with a heavy face.
Shen Jie calmed down, "Where is the governor of Jindu?"
Yan Jin sighed, "After the assassination, I sent three people on horseback to Jindu City to ask for help, but none of them came back, and I didn't see anyone coming to rescue."
As Shen Jie expected, the officials and bandits colluded to kill him.
"Has our carrier pigeon delivered the message?" Shen Jie asked.
There were too many unexpected events during the mission to Wuhuan, so Chen Jie and Chu Zheng agreed that whenever they arrived at a place, they would add different place names to the pigeons. If anyone is in danger, send a carrier pigeon to the capital for help.
The local officials were entangled in the wrong places, and he already had many enemies. He would not trust them easily unless they were promoted by him.
Yan Jin said, "Even if it is sent, it will take at least ten days to get back and forth."
Chen Jie remained silent, looking at Du Yaoyao in his arms worriedly.
Yan Jing lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of the woman's fair profile. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his handsome face blushed slightly.
Chen Jie, a shrewd man, saw this expression and guessed what Yan Jing was thinking at a glance. At the critical moment, he didn't care, gave a few instructions, and let Yan Jin go to rest.
Du Yaoyao slowly opened her eyes. In fact, she had woken up early. Chen Ji and Yan Jin were discussing something, and she didn't want to interrupt them, so she pretended to sleep.
"It's still early, you should sleep a little longer." Chen Jie stroked her long hair.
"What about you?" Du Yaoyao pulled his sleeve. Chen Jie must have been unable to sleep all night. One or two hundred of his subordinates had died, and seventy or eighty people were facing difficulties. They had no food or water, and were being hunted down, plus she was a weak burden.
"I'll protect you." Chen Jie lowered his head, resting his forehead against hers, and sighed, "Yaoyao, I really regret bringing you out."
If anything happens to her, he will be held responsible.
Complaints and blame will not help at this time. Du Yaoyao forced a smile and said softly, "It's okay. We share the good times and the bad times. As long as you don't think I'm weak and don't abandon me, it'll be fine."
Chen Jie hugged Du Yaoyao tightly and gave her a tender kiss on the forehead.
During the day, they hid while traveling, and at night, they spent half resting and half running around. When hungry, eat dry food; when thirsty, drink river water.
The men were fine on days like this, but Du Yaoyao survived a day and a night, and suddenly fell ill the next morning.
