Sure enough, as soon as they left, the police arrived, obviously coming for the woman. If they continued to wait, getting caught would not be a good thing.
Bei Yueli was also very nervous. Her guards were not around, and distant water could not quench immediate thirst. If she was really caught, it was obvious what would happen to her.
Her only hope now is to catch the man in front of her.
Thinking of that terrible end, he ignored his shyness, reached out and grabbed the other person's sleeve, and said timidly: "Sir, if you are willing to save me once, wait for my guards to arrive."
"Just tell me how much silver you want, even ten thousand or a thousand gold coins will do. Please don't abandon me."
Jiang Sheng looked down at her, and after a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand: "Okay, but it might offend the young lady. Hold me, we are going to climb over the wall and escape."
Bei Yueli heard the footsteps outside getting closer and closer, and without caring about anything else, she threw herself directly into the man's arms, hugged his thin waist tightly, buried her head in his chest and dared not look up.
The next moment, his waist tightened and he flew into the air.
I closed my eyes and waited quietly. Soon I landed on the ground, and a pleasant voice came from above my head.
"Girl, you can open your eyes now. Just disguise yourself and you can go out."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bei Yueli felt the hand on her waist leave. She opened her eyes and saw the person who took two steps back and looked at her with a frank gaze. Her heart inexplicably beat faster.
He turned his head away and looked around, and sure enough, there was coarse linen clothing.
Jiang Sheng turned his back and spoke in a low voice, "Girl, change your clothes quickly, fix your hair, and put some black ash on your face to disguise it."
"Otherwise, even if we go out, we will be targeted by the governor's men, which is not a good thing."
Bei Yueli looked down at the shark sand on her body and knew that now was not the time to be pretentious. She should save her life and wait for the guards to arrive so that she could return to Beixia Kingdom as soon as possible.
After taking a look at the back, I felt a bit of good impression of him.
This person is indeed a kind-hearted and open-minded person. Her luck is not too bad. If she had met someone with bad intentions, she would have been handed over or sold to a brothel.
Jiang Sheng listened to the rustling sound behind him, and his mind became a little distracted. He thought that he could take the girl with him on the journey for the time being, but he must not bring her up the mountain when he got there.
Whatever he has to do must be kept secret. Whether it is exploring the mines or bringing back salt rocks, it must not be known to outsiders.
As I was lost in thought, a soft voice sounded behind me.
Bei Yueli said softly, "Master, I'm fine now."
Jiang Sheng turned around and looked her up and down. Her originally delicate and flawless face was now dull and lifeless after being wiped with dust. The coarse linen clothes on her body made her look no different from an ordinary woman.
Nodding, "Well, when we return to the inn, we'll disguise ourselves. What do you think is better, brother and sister, or husband and wife?"
"Ah, this..."
Bei Yueli was a little surprised. This was her first time out of Beixia Country, so how could she know so much? But when she tried to pretend to be a couple, she couldn't stop blushing.
Jiang Sheng explained, "It's like this. You have to disguise your identity when you go out, otherwise you will be easily reported."
"I've been here for two days. If you rashly follow me back, you must have a suitable identity, otherwise the innkeepers will become suspicious."
If they were brother and sister, they would definitely have to live in two separate rooms. If the young man left, what would she do when she was penniless?
Bei Yueli thought for a moment and then said directly, "Sir, how about... we pretend to be a couple? This is just a temporary solution, I'm sorry to bother you."
I felt a little flustered. In Beixia Country, if a man and a woman lived in the same room, it would ruin the reputation of the young man, and they would definitely have to get married in the future, but here it was a big deal.
It should... not matter. Even if it affects her reputation, it is still a disadvantage for women in big jobs.
Jiang Sheng nodded without thinking too much, disguised himself, and took his men around to the market town, then walked towards the inn in a swagger.
Seeing him return, Yang Er hurried forward and asked worriedly, "Young Master, are you okay? The officers just came to search, saying they wanted to catch a spy from Beixia."
"Okay, I understand. Let's go back to the room first."
"Yes, young master."
He glanced at the person next to him and asked cautiously, "Sir, who is this girl?"
His son is a kind-hearted person. Could he have saved someone again? When you are out, you can't save people casually.
There were several people sitting in the room, and Bei Yueli was standing aside with her head lowered.
They were silent for a moment. Yang Er looked at the person sitting by the window, frowning slightly, and said worriedly: "Sir, this woman is from Beixia. Could she be a spy?"
"If the police find out, we'll probably be thrown into jail too. We can't afford to get into trouble like this."
Jiang Sheng took a sip of tea and said calmly, "It's okay. The people protecting her will arrive soon. They will leave by then. It won't affect us at all."
Seeing that he was so persistent, Yang Er had no choice but to give up and keep an eye on him secretly to avoid hurting the young master.
After everyone left one after another, only two people were left in the room.
Bei Yueli knew that she was able to stay because of the kindness of the person before her. She stood up and bowed respectfully, saying softly, "Thank you very much for saving my life, sir. I will repay you when I have the chance."
Jiang Sheng smiled and said calmly, "It's okay. I just happen to dislike this governor. But next time you go out, don't go alone."
"Da Gan is very exclusive towards people of other races, just like you Bei Xia closes your borders and refuses to interact with other countries."
“Sometimes it’s not your fault, but it’s dangerous if you rush in.”
Bei Yueli knew he was reminding her out of kindness, so she said softly, "I see. Thank you for your advice, sir. I was being willful this time, but I had no choice."
He sighed, his eyes filled with sadness, "My parents asked me to marry, no, marry someone I don't like. I'm very miserable so I want to go out and relax."
"I didn't expect to get separated from the guards. I can only wait for them to find me."
Jiang Sheng had never been married in his past or present life, so he didn't know what to say about this kind of thing. Usually, marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers.
"If you don't want to, you can discuss it with your parents and come up with a solution. You shouldn't wander into other countries carelessly. If you encounter any danger, you will be doomed."
"It might be more terrifying than you think getting married. Those criminals who kidnap women are merciless. Once you enter that kind of place, you can never get out."
"His reputation is ruined, and the consequences are self-evident."
Bei Yueli lowered her head and said in shame, "Yes, I know I was wrong. I will never forget your great kindness."
As he spoke, he handed over a jade pendant. There was a small word "Li" on the back, which was not noticeable unless you looked carefully.
"Sir, take this jade pendant. If you go to Beixia in the future, you can take it to the bank. If you need me to do anything, just tell me."
Jiang Sheng reached out to take it. The jade felt warm and smooth in his hand, obviously not an ordinary item. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The girl looks very rich. That's amazing. I'll be polite then."
He joked, "If you want to visit Beixia in the future, you'll have someone you know."
