“In your previous life, you were a Loose Immortal and were close to the Ascension stage. You experienced two great tribulations: Nascent Soul and Great Completion. Perhaps you only remember one of those tribulations,” Ji Fengyao gently comforted Shang Xiye.
Shang Xiye was skeptical, subconsciously feeling that things weren't as easy and logical as his young wife had made them out to be, but he couldn't quite recall what exactly had happened.
And judging from what the young wife said,
It seems she didn't know what he had been through either.
If he had intentionally hidden some bad things from her in his past life, wouldn't it be pointless for him to make her sad now that he's getting involved with his new wife?
A warm and uneventful night.
The next day, Lin Shuang and Bai Lu got up early and prepared white porridge and steamed buns for everyone. Everyone ate a lively meal with pickled vegetables and braised meat before setting off on their respective journeys to the Northwest.
It was unclear how many troops Kyoto had sent. To avoid attracting attention, Shang Xiye temporarily let Guimian play by himself in the nearby mountains, while he and Ji Fengyao each rode a tall chestnut horse side by side, quite content.
The group of people were dressed in coarse clothes and had yellow faces. They were all disguised and looked very inconspicuous.
Shang Beiyu rode his sword westward, searching along the way;
They arrived at the northwestern border town in just two days.
But all the way to the military camp in the northwestern border city, he did not find any trace of the little female bandit, or even Shang Xiye.
After a moment's thought, Shang Beiyu's lips curled into a wicked smile: "The little guy's disguise is quite good; even I was fooled."
Hmm, it's been a while since I've played hide-and-seek, so I'll play with you for a bit and see how long it takes me to find you.
While Shang Beiyu was heading back in reverse to find Ji Fengyao, assassins sent by the palace, the East Palace, and the Duke of Chen were also searching for the Ninth Prince's whereabouts along the way.
It's probably fate.
On the evening of the third day.
Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao arrived in Ruiji Town. As soon as they entered the only inn in town, they saw Chen Xiaoyi and his people preparing to check in.
Upon seeing Ji Chenhai lead Ji Fengyao and her entourage in, Chen Xiaoyi and the gaunt man beside him both showed gentle expressions.
The group exchanged greetings at the counter.
The gaunt man bowed to Ji Chenhai and said, "It seems we are destined to meet again here."
"Hehe, yes, yes," Ji Chenhai responded twice, his smile carrying a deeper meaning.
Unfortunately, the skinny man didn't know Ji Chenhai and didn't notice, still trying to get closer to him enthusiastically: "I thought you were ahead of us, how come you've come behind us?"
"Something came up on the way, which caused a delay," Ji Chenhai said, glancing back at Shang Xiye and the three guards with a half-smile.
The gaunt man suddenly realized: Oh, so they went to meet up with their accomplices midway. He had been wondering why there were only a mere ten people chasing after the Ninth Prince; it turned out they had split up!
Ji Fengming was also very outgoing, as if nothing unpleasant had happened between them. He stepped forward and said jokingly, "Look at how handsome and energetic you all are, you shouldn't be walking so slowly. Did you have some romantic encounters on the way? Don't forget to bring your little brother along if you have anything good!"
The skinny man: "..."
The others: ..."
Aren't these people also here to hunt down the Ninth Prince?
Now that the Ninth Prince is nowhere to be found, does this kid still have the mood to think about romantic encounters?
