It was night, Jin Se and Xie Xiu said goodbye reluctantly, both of them panting.
Jinse's cheeks turned red and she held Xie Xiuqi's hand that was still making trouble.
"Get some rest early, we have to get up early tomorrow."
She didn't expect Xie Xiuqi to be so good. He promised to be inhumane, but she couldn't resist his skillful hands and teased her until she felt weak.
Xie Xiuqi also felt uncomfortable. Jinse thought that he was inhumane and that he was the only one who knew his situation.
But he had no feeling in his entire calf.
He can't stand someone riding on him to dominate, even if this person is Jinse.
At least not at first.
Taking a deep breath, Xie Xiuqi's voice was hoarse and he hugged Jinse in front of him tightly.
"It's late at night, go to sleep."
After some tossing, Jinse's body became weak and her consciousness became a little confused. Before she fell into sleep, she murmured something unconsciously.
"Don't put sticks on the bed, they'll hurt people."
…
The next day, Jinse said goodbye to everyone at the city gate.
Xie Xiuqi took off the ring from his hand and put it on Jinse's hand.
"This is not an ordinary wrench, this is a hidden weapon, and the method of use is..."
After explaining the usage, he raised his eyes and looked at Jinse intently.
"Must live."
He didn't say anything about coming back, because there was no time to return, and there would be only death if he came back.
"You should also take care."
Jinse knew very well that staying in the capital would face greater pressure.
After she left Beijing, she became as good as the sky.
The two looked at each other and said nothing. Everything was said in silence.
"Nangong Jin!"
A figure rushed out and stood in front of the two of them. It was Princess Ronghua who came to bid farewell to He Fang.
She raised her head and stared at Jinse: "This time He Fang will go to the border with you. I think you know what to do."
As she said that, she smiled sarcastically: "Don't forget what will happen to you when you return to Beijing this time."
"The end?" Jin Se raised his eyebrows, "Didn't the world know about the second prince's brother-killing reputation?"
Ronghua was so angry that he raised his hand to hit someone: "Nangong Jin, if you don't drink the toast, you will be punished with a drink!"
Jinse grabbed her hand and slapped her face with his backhand.
Ronghua covered his face and screamed: "If you beat the princess, I will make your father punish you!"
Jinse chuckled: "If you don't get what you asked for, then let the Holy One find someone else to quell the chaos."
"Ronghua, come back!" Upon seeing this, Xie Xiuming called Ronghua back and scolded him severely.
Now the emperor is in need of Jinse, and whoever comes to look for trouble will be in trouble.
Ronghua's incident was just an interlude. Jinse quickly said goodbye to everyone, mounted his horse and led the army away.
This time the emperor only gave her a few thousand cavalry. These soldiers were still used to monitor and constrain her. The decision-making power rested with He Fang and his two men.
After watching Jinse's figure riding a horse disappear on the horizon, Xie Xiuqi returned to his house.
"My lord, fortunately, I have fulfilled my duty and everything has been done!"
As soon as he came back, the travel-stained Xiao Hei appeared in front of him and handed over a black package.
After taking the package, Xie Xiuqi's eyes instantly darkened.
"Jin'er, wait for me, it won't be long."
…
Leading a large group of troops, Jinse rushed to the border day and night.
There was no fire to cook along the way. When hungry, he would eat the dry and hard inedible Guokui that he brought with him, or grab a handful of fried wheat. When he was sleepy, he would take a nap on the horseback.
It was okay at first, but as time went by, complaints arose among the army.
Especially He Fang and Zhao Sheng, they couldn't bear this kind of hardship.
Fortunately, Jinse used the emperor's imperial edict as an excuse to severely punish the troublemakers, suppress them violently, and suppressed them many times.
In the midst of complaints, everyone united with the current border guards and attacked the occupied border city.
Jinse was brave and good at fighting, and took the lead in fighting. Coupled with her prestige among the border officers, she commanded the army like an arm and was able to fight with ease.
But she still didn't expect that in just five days, with few casualties, the barbarians abandoned the city and ran away, and she successfully recaptured the two cities.
When entering the city, the suspicion on Jinse's face disappeared.
In previous lives, the barbarians invaded the city and burned, killed, raped, and looted. They committed all kinds of evil. The people in the border towns suffered greatly and cried out in mourning.
At that time, Nangong Jin was also accompanied by He Fang and the others. He was pretentious along the way and wasted a lot of time on the way.
When she arrived, one city was even half empty.
It was precisely because of the lessons from her previous life that she was in a hurry this time, but what is the situation now?
Although the people on the street looked frightened and looked disheveled, their overall condition seemed to be good, and no bodies were found on the roadside.
Jinse's eyes flashed.
"System, this time the barbarian siege plan is more than three days ahead of schedule compared to the previous life. Do you know the reason?"
The system guessed: "Maybe it's a chain reaction of your mission? Didn't the former concubine Shi Yi reveal the prince's life experience?"
Jinse shook his head: "That's different. Concubine Yi in the previous life must have also investigated the prince's life experience, but after Xie Xiuming got help from Nangong Jin, they changed their focus, and that's why they never found Luo Jinglun."
"Xie Xiuming has no other help in this life, so Concubine Yi can only increase her search efforts."
"But things are different among barbarians. It must be human influence."
Both the time of the barbarian siege and their attitude towards the people of Jing are intriguing.
Narrowing her eyes, a name grew louder and louder in her heart.
"Let's go to the next city."
She wanted to test her suspicions.
…
The gate of Xinhe City.
On horseback, Jinse stared at the wide-open city gate, listening to the cries of killing in the city, and his expression changed.
"Send the order, everyone, come after me!"
After entering the city, Jinse found two groups of barbarians from different groups.
One team was dressed in rags, the other team was well-equipped, and they were fighting together.
There were far more people who were well-equipped than those who were wearing rags. They took advantage of their numerical advantage and only divided half of them to fight, while the other half raped and plundered in the city.
There was a cry of killing in the city.
The crowd was fleeing in panic, the barbarians were pressing them down and they were naked. The woman with numb eyes, and the man next to the woman who was still staring at death.
"Mom, let me protect you!"
A childish voice sounded, and a child about seven or eight years old came out of the dilapidated house, holding a rusty ax in his hand, and rushed straight towards the barbarian on the woman's body.
His thin body was in stark contrast to the huge ax in his hand, and his steps swayed as he ran.
Behind him, a girl with braided braids looked around at the hell on earth with confused eyes, and rushed towards the woman with a pursed mouth.
"Mom, brother, I'm afraid!"
The barbarian did not stop, but instead licked his dry lips, a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes, and he raised the scimitar beside him.
"Young sheep with two legs have the tenderest meat."
The numb woman collapsed when she saw this and waved desperately to the two children.
"Don't come here, run!"
However, it was too late by now, as the two children had already rushed to them.
He scooped it up with his big hand and held the youngest girl in his hand. He swung the machete with his other hand and hooked it towards the boy's neck.
The woman beneath him resisted desperately, her numb eyes filled with tears.
