39. Chapter 39 Frontier
39. Chapter 39 Border
Author: Bright Moon and Drizzle
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on everyone, and towards evening, the army stopped to rest and reorganize.
"Your Majesty, we will arrive at the border in two days." Ji Shaoyu beside him handed over the dry food, his eyebrows warm.
Wen Renjing nodded, looked at Ji Shaoyu with a vague gaze, and took the dry food with her slender hands.
Wen Renjing was almost reaching the border now. Although he had promised to let him go back, Wen Renjing did not believe that the other party would wait for her to help him.
Everyone in the army was Mu Xia's servant, and they were very wary of and looked down upon Ji Shaoyu. For him, as the emperor, they just obeyed Mu Xia's orders and avoided public anger.
"How could you feed His Majesty such vulgar food?" Aji's voice sounded not far away, very indignant.
"This food is only available now. I'm afraid there won't be anything to eat when we get to the border." A general said sarcastically.
The journey is long and there are no exquisite meals. The soldiers in the army eat very simple meals.
Everyone was a little dissatisfied. There was no limit to the emperor's fun when he went to the border and he even had to bring his male favorite with him.
"The emperor is so pampered and pampered, even if he can't be locked up here!" the man added.
The others had been listening to the sound here, and now they all gathered around.
Aji wanted to say something more, but was quickly interrupted by a voice.
"Lu Yan!" Wang Hu's majestic voice sounded. He walked over, saluted and said apologetically: "Your Majesty, forgive me. Lu Yan just said what he said. Please don't blame your Majesty."
Hearing Renjing's brows moved slightly, she said, "It's okay, General Lu is just being outspoken. Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with this meal."
"Everyone is tired today. Let's take a rest and set off tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Hu half-knelt down, feeling flattered, while pulling Lu Yan down to his knees.
I thought that the moody emperor would be difficult to take care of, but it seems that the people in Apocalypse City are talking nonsense.
After they left, Wen Renjing looked at Aji seriously and said, "Aji, life in the army is already hard. Don't say such things anymore."
His blue eyes moved slightly and his brows furrowed, "But His Majesty doesn't like it."
"But they all survived like this, and it's because of them that Tianqi is what it is today." Wen Renjing said in a low voice.
From the beginning to the end, Ji Shaoyu's eyes stared at her intently, with scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes, and they returned to the alienated warmth in a fleeting moment.
Seemingly aware of Wen Renjing's displeasure, Aji nodded, "Yeah."
"Your Majesty, you can't be like this when you get to the border. People from Southern Xia don't like to come to the west. They like to capture people from the west to be medicine men, so..." Ji Shaoyu suddenly said.
Looking at A Ji's blue hair and blue eyes, Wen Renjing pursed her lips slightly and thoughtfully took out a blue cloak, "I'll put this on when I get to Xilin."
I don't know why I feel that what Ji Shaoyu said is correct. After all, he can't deceive them about this kind of thing.
This Nanxia is also very strange. The civil war continues and it dares to provoke the wealthy Tianqi. It is also strange that Xilin is not so warlike.
At night, the gentle breeze blew through the leaves, and it was so quiet that only the sounds of mosquitoes and unknown birds could be heard.
In the huge tent, Wenren Jing tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. A rustling sound came from outside the tent, which alerted her.
After wrapping the quilt into a ball, he crept close to the back of the screen.
"Quickly find which tent it is. We must not let the protons return to Nanxia."
"Everyone in the army is under Mu Xia, be careful not to alert the emperor."
Hearing this, Wen Renjing covered her mouth. These assassins were here to assassinate Ji Shaoyu. It seems that the current Southern Xia monarch is very suspicious. Even a hostage who has been away for many years would kill him.
It seems that Ji Shaoyu is so pitiful. His father doesn't care for his mother, and he even kills all his brothers.
After the black shadow left, she thought that the place where he was stationed was so big that it would be difficult to find Ji Shaoyu so quickly. She had to go there, and she couldn't just ignore him.
"Aji, wake up quickly." She first found Aji who was closest to her and woke up the sleeping Aji.
He rubbed his eyes and asked good-naturedly: "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
"There are assassins outside, keep your voice down, and you go inform the general who is keeping watch." After saying that, she immediately got up and left to go to Ji Shaoyu's tent.
Aji immediately became energetic and went non-stop to notify others.
When Wen Renjing arrived, there was already a fight inside, and she felt cold that she was too late.
"Your Majesty." You Ci appeared on the spot, his brows furrowed.
Wen Renjing was protected in a defensive state, the Moon Sword in her hand shining brightly.
"Hurry in and help." She lifted up her skirt and rushed in, unsheathing the life-saving dagger at her waist.
When they broke in, five men in black were fighting with Ji Shaoyu, but Ji Shaoyu's kung fu was really poor and he had a lot of colors on his body.
You Ci stepped forward to fight with a few people. Wen Renjing rushed over to protect Ji Shaoyu and looked at him worriedly.
"How about it?"
Ji Shaoyu forced a smile and said, "Nothing."
"Looking for death!" The assassin stabbed Youci with his sword. He was surrounded by people, and the situation was very unfavorable to them.
Wen Renjing only has the skills of a three-legged cat, which she learned in school to prevent wolves.
I didn't expect it to be used in this place. I would have learned it if I had known it.
"Ah!" She kicked an assassin in black who was attacking You Ci in the lower body with great accuracy.
The assassin made a pig noise, but it also attracted the attention of other assassins.
"Don't forget about business." An assassin in black said calmly, and another assassin held a cold sword and headed towards Ji Shaoyu, who was helpless.
Wen Renjing's eyes widened slightly, and she caught the shining sword without having time to think, with blood flowing from her hand.
"Your Majesty." Youci stabbed the assassin into the heart with a look of panic on his face.
"Wang Hu's rescue came too late."
A group of generals rushed out of the tent, and soldiers surrounded the tent. Soon all five assassins were caught.
The scene was also very chaotic.
The wound on Wen Renjing's hand was bandaged by Aji, and she seemed to have come to her senses in the tent. She secretly cursed in her heart that it really hurt!
"Your Majesty." A familiar voice sounded.
Outside the tent, Ji Shaoyu's clothes had not yet been changed, and there were scars from the sword on his face. He looked so pitiful.
He looked at her palm, with an imperceptible slight movement in his eyes, "How is Your Majesty's injury?"
After a while, he slowly spoke.
Wen Renjing thought of the assassin's words, shook her hand, and said nonchalantly, "It's okay."
He added, "How are your injuries? Let Aji take a look at you."
"Zhiyuan has given me some medicine." His thin lips parted slightly.
For a while, the two fell into silence again. Ji Shaoyu, who had sat next to her for a while, said slowly: "Your Majesty, why are the assassins looking for me alone?"
"If someone kills you, do you still have to find fault with yourself?" Wen Renjing frowned.
