Chapter 369 Dirty
Before nightfall, they packed their things and hurriedly left the capital.
The eunuch who delivered the message looked at their backs and said in a cold voice, "Is everything arranged?
His life cannot be taken because the Emperor of Western Shu cannot allow anything to happen within the territory of Nanxu.
But if you get a minor illness, like having a stomach upset or something, and end up losing your life, it's okay.
We can only blame them for being unlucky and leaving in such a hurry."
The people around him bent over and smiled and said, “You are right. We are all slaves who are not presentable. How could we take the life of such an honorable person?
He must have been born delicate, that's why he lost his life, hehehe..."
Before leaving, he took one more look outside, then stepped on the ground and went back to the palace to report.
Seven days later, it was drizzling.
At the gate of the capital city, the retired emperor, the new emperor, the empress and others came out to see her off.
Xia Yining was dressed in general's armor, a gale-force cloak, and her hair was standing up high. She looked majestic and indeed like a female general.
Following closely beside her was Xi Zhiyi, who was also wearing armor and looked even more mysterious with the half mask on.
He attracted the hearts of many girls and young wives on the street, who would glance at him from time to time.
Although the Xi family couple were worried, they also knew that the two were destined to be together and could protect each other, which might help their relationship become even better.
His son had said this a few days ago, and Ning'er has now relaxed.
In Madam Xi's eyes, she had long regarded her as her own daughter. At this moment, she was holding her son's hand and admonishing him, "Swords and knives have no eyes on the battlefield. Even if Ning'er is very powerful, you must protect her well.
You know, you are a man, you should rush ahead of her."
This made Xi Zhiyi smile helplessly. They weren't even engaged yet, and his mother no longer had him in her heart.
His heart and eyes are full of his little girl.
It’s good this way. Ning’er will definitely not suffer any grievances after marriage, unlike his friends around him, whose homes are in a mess after marriage.
Madam Xi looked at him and nodded, cursing in her heart that the brat was so unlikable, always keeping his head down and unable to say more than three sentences, and was not as cute as Ning'er.
He held Xia Yining's hand, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Don't try too hard. If you encounter any dangerous or tiring tasks, let the third kid take the lead.
Be cautious when encountering things and don't lose your mind.
Ning'er, don't think I'm annoying. I have a good relationship with your mother, so when she's not around, I'll naturally give you more instructions.
Otherwise, when she asks about it after returning to Beijing, she will blame me for not paying enough attention, which will definitely annoy her."
Xia Yining smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your concern. I will take good care of Master San while he is away and will definitely bring him back safely."
"Hey, okay, okay, he's not important, the most important thing is you, so you must take care of yourself.
If there is anything, please send a letter back and we will definitely deal with it as soon as possible."
After they finished talking, the sisters-in-law of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion also gathered around to show their concern, and even the little ones at home looked worried.
It makes her feel soft in the heart, thinking about...
Forget it, when a person dies, it’s like a light goes out. I’ll visit Xiaotian Village more often when I have time.
Anyway, with Chi Yan around, she could go back and forth very quickly and conveniently.
The retired emperor spoke a few words to all the civil and military officials, which were full of encouragement. He asked all the soldiers to obey the orders of the commander-in-chief.
"I and the new emperor are waiting for the heroes to return triumphantly in the capital. Wish you a safe journey."
The people on both sides of the street also shouted loudly, fearing that the other party could not hear them.
【I wish you a victorious return soon. 】
[We will definitely win the battle by following the princess and kill those bastards in Dongli]
[Yes, yes, we must make sure they don’t dare to challenge Nan Xu’s authority.]
[Everyone, please be careful. You can eat these on the road.]
I saw many people taking food and stuffing it into the soldiers' arms, including whole grain white flour cakes and greasy leek dumplings.
There was also an old man who was feeding dumplings to the children one by one with chopsticks.
He kept muttering, "My grandson went to the border just like you. Our family was poor that year, so he was not even allowed to eat a single white flour dumpling when he left.
Now you are all colleagues and soldiers, so it counts as eating on his behalf.
I am old now, and I am looking forward to my grandson coming back to visit me. If you meet him, please remember to tell him a message for me."
"Okay, after you eat your dumplings, we'll take care of this matter.
If we really meet, you will definitely take care of your grandson."
The old lady wiped her tears after hearing this and said, "Okay, okay, I thank you all, young men. You should also pay attention to safety."
When the soldiers asked her about her grandson's name, she had it firmly in mind.
Thinking about meeting him in a military camp or on the battlefield, I must protect him more.
This scene moved many people so much that they wiped their tears with their sleeves.
The carriages in the middle of the team were surrounded by fences, with only one head visible in the middle.
There were torture instruments on the head and feet to prevent the prisoners from suddenly breaking free.
Inside were the Saint of Dongli and the princess, as well as the servants who brought them with them.
At this time, everyone's face was dirty, and their clothes could not even be seen in their original appearance.
Everyone was in low spirits, their eyes had lost their luster and were filled with a grayness.
Zhi Linglan listened to the words of the people of Nanxu, then looked at the woman not far away. The general's armor looked particularly majestic on her.
There are also seven guardians around her, each of whom guards her, which makes her extremely jealous.
When her eyes fell on the masked man, she felt her heart beating faster.
He was so mysterious and domineering, making her feel that such a good man should be hers.
A pair of eyes wished to strip Xi Zhiyi of all his clothes.
The Saint Maiden Zhi Guci followed her gaze and her eyes narrowed. This man had a very superior appearance.
If he wasn't wearing a half mask, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this was Nan Xu's first time seeing a handsome man.
Especially those gentle eyes, which are always on the girl beside him. I guess he likes her from the bottom of his heart.
She also wants a man like this.
His eyes moved to Xia Yining. She was standing there doing nothing, yet she was shining brightly.
Although she was wearing armor, it did not affect her beauty at all, but instead added a bit of heroic spirit.
No wonder the man liked it. She would like it too.
She looked at the love-crazy Zhi Linglan beside her and couldn't help but sneer. Except for Dongli who was good at raising insects, everyone else was an idiot.
They are all just like the princess, all fools.
I looked at Xi Zhiyi with some reluctance. I was destined to have no chance to see him in this life. Maybe in the next life.
In her next life, she will definitely be reborn into a good family and become a goddess. Then...
Xi Zhiyi felt two pairs of eyes falling on him, and the feeling was very sticky and disgusting.
He glanced at the prison van with a cold look, and when he saw that it was Dongli's men, his face became even colder.
He felt that he was unclean and dirty.
