Ye Fuxun took Ji Yannuo to the ancient clock and looked at the mottled ancient bronze clock: "What kind of writing is this?"
She stared at the large characters engraved on the ancient clock in confusion, which looked like oracle bones to her.
"Don't forget." Ji Yannuo muttered in a low voice, "It is a text from the pre-Qin era."
"Don't forget?"
Ye Fuxun read it again, "Why is such a simple bell engraved with these two words?"
Ji Yannuo shook his head.
"Let's try ringing the ancient bell."
Ye Fuxun smiled and took Ji Yannuo's hand, and together they pulled up the bell-ringing wood next to the ancient clock.
The two of them worked together to hit the bell wood against the ancient bell, and then heard a deep, elegant and melodious sound of the bell rippling from the top of the mountain to all around like waves.
"The sound of the bell is so nice." Ye Fuxun snuggled next to Ji Yannuo, looking at the layers of thick fog below the mountainside, feeling like he had become an immortal.
Ji Yannuo put his arm around her waist and said with a smile in his eyes: "We have to go down the mountain. It may rain depending on the weather."
However, before the two of them got halfway down the mountain, it started pouring rain.
Ji Yannuo took off his outer clothes to cover Ye Fuxun, and the two found a cave to stay.
The cave is spacious and dry, and there are many dead branches piled up on one side, presumably left by people who went up the mountain to cut firewood or hunt.
"Fortunately, I just bought a lot of clothes."
Ye Fuxun took out her outer clothes and put them on for Ji Yannuo. She knew that Ji Yannuo loved to be clean, so she spread the newly bought clothes on the ground and pulled Ji Yannuo to sit down together.
The two made a fire and ate the food they bought while shopping earlier while looking at the continuous rain outside.
"It rains a lot in Qi. Judging from the intensity of the rain, it will probably rain for at least a few hours." Ji Yannuo frowned slightly, "We may have to spend the night in a cave tonight."
It was already evening at that time, and it was getting dark faster because of the rain.
"Are you afraid, Ah Xun?"
She patted the baggage optimistically: "I have thick clothes to keep warm, some snacks to eat, and enough dead branches to make a fire. The important thing is, you are by my side, so I am not afraid."
Ji Yannuo smiled and held her in his arms.
Ye Fuxun looked at the heavy rain and suddenly sighed: "I wonder if our leaving the military camp will affect the peace talks?"
Unexpectedly, Ji Yannuo did not answer her words, but looked at her sideways: "What do you think of King Qin?"
When she heard Ji Yannuo ask this, she couldn't help but be shocked.
She always felt that King Qin was a bit weird, especially when he showed his affection to her last time. It was as if King Qin was deliberately showing his affection to her?
Ye Fuxun shook his head. Could it be that King Qin likes... her?
King Qin was very kind to her, but on the surface, especially when there were many people, there was no clue at all.
However, Demon Ji is not an ordinary person.
If even she noticed the signs, would Demon Ji also notice something?
Whether there is or not, this cannot be admitted.
Ye Fuxun strengthened his belief in his heart.
Anyway, she didn't have any thoughts about King Qin, and King Qin had never made any overstep, so this matter was treated as if it never happened.
"Huh?" Ji Yannuo couldn't help but raise his voice when he saw Ye Fuxun didn't respond.
Ye Fuxun yawned leisurely and rested his head on Ji Yannuo's shoulder: "I think King Qin may like you just like King Chu."
"Cough! Cough!" Ji Yannuo choked and coughed several times due to Ye Fulun's sudden words, with a strange and embarrassed look on his face, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Ye Fuxun raised his fair and soft hands and clapped his fingers: "Yanyan, think about it, I remember when King Qin caught up with our team, King Chu said that he was not the kind of person to follow the army at all.
In other words, when we go to the battlefield, we will definitely not follow him according to his original intention, so there must be someone or something that he is willing to follow along the way, so he will come."
"This person must be you."
"Yanyan, you are wise, extraordinary, resolute, and full of strategies. It is normal for the King of Qin to become your fan after the King of Chu!"
"Fans?" Ji Yannuo frowned.
Ye Fuxun grinned: "I treat you as the person I admire the most, and I want to follow you and support you."
After blowing a rainbow fart, Ye Fuxun saw Ji Yannuo frowning and thinking deeply, so he simply reached out and hugged his waist, and then blocked his mouth.
She was afraid that Demon Ji's thinking was too clear and he would not be confused by her, so he continued to ask about King Qin's affairs.
Sure enough, the next moment Ji Yannuo stopped pursuing irrelevant people and only concentrated on enjoying the passionate moments with his wife.
"Hey, Yan Yan, this is outside..."
"In case anyone passes by..."
"Wait until we get back to the inn..."
In the night that followed, Ye Fuxun endlessly regretted the huge sacrifice he had made to stop Ji Yannuo's mouth.
It wasn't until the sky got slightly brighter that the rain finally stopped.
The two of them had been fooling around in the cave all night. They slept very lightly and woke up at dawn.
Ye Fuxun put on his clothes angrily, took out the pancakes he bought yesterday and ate them, not wanting to pay attention to Ji Yannuo.
With a smile on his face, Ji Yannuo tidied up the messy clothes, packed his baggage, and then pulled up Ye Fuxun: "Let's go."
Ye Fuxun turned away and still didn't want to pay attention to him.
It's all because last night was so ridiculous.
Even more so than in the house on weekdays.
It made her waist hurt and her legs sore, and even her back hurt because of the uneven ground.
Sure enough, men can't be spoiled.
"Then I will carry you down the mountain?"
Ji Yannuo coaxed Ye Fuxun in a low voice until her expression calmed down a little before he carried her out of the cave.
It had been raining all night, and the mountain road outside was wet and slippery.
Ji Yannuo didn't walk fast, but very steadily.
When we got halfway down the mountain, we suddenly heard the sound of fighting and shouting coming from afar.
The two of them looked stunned.
"Put me down and let's go over and take a look." Ye Fuxun grabbed Ji Yannuo's shoulder.
The two of them followed the sound and headed north.
After walking for a while, I finally saw the collapsed carriage and the guards lying dead on the mountain road.
Ji Yannuo grabbed a branch casually, held Ye Fuxun with one hand, and used the branch to flip the guard lying on the ground with the other hand.
"All dead."
Walking to the side of the carriage, an old man in brocade clothes was lying on the ground, with blood pouring from his forehead.
Just as Ji Yannuo was approaching, the old man suddenly reached out and grabbed Ji Yannuo's feet.
Ji Yannuo took a step away without thinking. He squatted down and his pupils shrank when he saw the old man's face clearly.
The old man struggled to open half of his eyelids, and said in a hoarse voice: "There is a letter in the boot. If you send it to Tan Mansion in Xinyue City intact, you can get a hundred taels of silver. If you open the letter,
It will definitely... lead to... killing, death..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man twisted his head and died.
Ye Fuxun stood aside and saw Ji Yannuo cut open the old man's boots with a dagger and took out a thin letter from inside.
