After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Jiu'er forgot to shed tears and froze in place, then raised his hand to touch her head.
Jiang Ran quickly stroked her hand away and slightly opened her lips: "What are you doing!"
"Miss, your head is not hot, why are you talking nonsense!" Jiu'er pouted in reply, then hummed softly and sat down on the swing next to him, dragging his chin with his hands: "Uncle... Bah, bah, bah, bah.
, that stinky man married the princess, and may even have children. Miss, if you still don’t leave, are you really planning to be his concubine? But miss, you are the original wife!"
Jiang Ran smiled helplessly, raised his jade hand and tapped her head lightly: "You are talking nonsense again."
"Jiu'er doesn't talk nonsense. Miss, think about it. He used to write you letters wherever he went. Now he has even sent battle reports to Kyoto. Where is his letter? Why hasn't it been sent for so long? He must have a guilty conscience or he doesn't care.
You!"
The little girl couldn't bear to shed tears again. She really hoped that the young lady could be with her uncle, but the stinky uncle always liked to mess around with women outside!
Seeing her aggrieved and pitiful look, Jiang Ran felt both funny and couldn't bear it, and quickly helped her stop her tears: "Okay, I'm not a child anymore. She still sheds tears every day. That's why I went to the northwest to ask questions."
You know, even if we want to leave, we can’t leave in a daze, right?”
Hearing this, Jiu'er was stunned for a while, and then nodded: "Well, the lady is right, let's go to the northwest and ask clearly."
"However, what you said makes sense. According to custom, he should send me a message to report that he is safe. The messenger may still be on the way, so let's wait a few more days." After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he tapped his toes on the ground, lowered the swing and swung it.
With the speed and amplitude, he called a maid not far away and said: "Ask Zhou Zheng to call Shen Ling."
"Yes." The maid saluted and quickly headed towards the front yard.
Then, Jiang Ran turned around and said to Jiu'er: "Don't cry. Come with me to pack your luggage first and see what is missing. You need to buy it in time. Later, you have to explain to Shen Ling and the others about the store. If he hasn't been there all the time,
With the news, we can leave as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Jiu'er stopped sobbing, wiped her red and swollen eyes, quickly jumped off the swing, and trotted towards her.
...
Three days later in the morning, Ji Ran was living in the front yard.
Jiu'er sat at the round stone table with a bowl of hot porridge covered with side dishes in front of him. He was stirring it constantly with a spoon in his hand. He recalled in his mind the various rumors he had heard on the street in the past two days and stared closely at it.
He waited at the gate, expecting the courier to appear, but after a long time, no one came in except for one or two servants from the mansion. He noticed Jiang Ran approaching and pouted and said: "Miss, Sister Shangguan said that Captain Su has already
I wrote her a reply, but my uncle didn’t do anything. He must have found a new love, and then he forgot about you, miss. Humph, you are a heartless man!"
After listening to her words, Jiang Ran raised her eyebrows slightly. Although she believed that Tang Ji would not do such a thing, the fact that he had not sent a letter still made her feel a little worried.
Of course, I am more worried about his safety.
After standing there and thinking about it, she raised her beautiful eyes and ordered to Ye Zheng who was standing not far away: "Ye Zheng, go get ready. Let's set off in the afternoon."
"Um..." Ye Zheng turned around slowly. Although the young master had told Ji Ran that Miss Jiang would be in charge of all matters concerning Ji Ran when he left Kyoto, he had also told himself to protect her. Running to the northwest seemed a bit awkward.
It was inappropriate, but if Jiang Ran was stopped, Miss Jiu'er might drown him with her saliva. After thinking about it, she handed her over and replied, "I obey."
Because Jiang Ran had mentioned his plan to go to the northwest three days ago, Bai Han had prepared everything for them early, so it didn't take long for a carriage to stop outside Ji Ran's house, with two sides on either side. There were dozens of expert guards in plain clothes, accompanied by two maids.
Just after the afternoon, with the warm sun hanging above the head, a beautiful young woman crossed the threshold and walked out of the door. She was wearing a fur coat, her whole body was white, her chest and shoulders were decorated with light pink, and there were dots of hair on it. The ornaments include an exquisite jade ornament on her head, a cyan jade bracelet in her hand, and a shining white ring on the ring finger of her right hand. She raised her hand to lightly lift her broken hair. This unintentional action caused everyone present to control themselves. Looked at her twice.
Jiang Ran walked straight to the carriage and looked at Shen Ling, who had been waiting for a long time: "Shopkeeper Shen, I will leave Ji Ranju to you."
Shen Ling immediately raised his hand and replied: "Don't worry, madam."
Jiang Ran nodded slightly, then turned around and looked at Bai Han behind him: "Aunt Bai, it's cold, please go back quickly."
Bai Han stared at her and warned: "Miss Jiang, don't listen to the rumors outside. The young master is by no means the kind of heartless and unjust person who will not mess around. You must have a clear talk after you meet."
Jiang Ran smiled: "Aunt Bai, I know, don't worry!"
Just like that, Bai Han gave her a few more instructions before sending her into the carriage.
Not long after, Jiang Ran and Jiu'er both sat firmly in the carriage. The former breathed out softly and ordered: "Let's go."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice suddenly came out.
"Sister Jiang!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ran ordered the team to stop, opened the curtains, and then saw Shangguan Ming standing outside the carriage, breathing heavily: "Ah Ming."
Shangguan Ming stretched out his hand and patted his chest, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over: "Sister Jiang, I wanted to go to the northwest with you, but my mother didn't allow it, and she even sent someone to watch me. I'd like to trouble Sister Jiang to tell you this." Give a copy of the letter to Aqing, and tell him for me that you are not allowed to have contact with vixens outside!"
As she spoke, she remembered the rumors that had been spreading in the city these days, and quickly added: "Also, I believe Mr. Tang will not mess around. There must be some misunderstanding. Sister, you have to listen to his explanation. ah."
Jiang Ran smiled softly, raised his hand to accept her letter, and replied: "Okay, I understand."
"Hmm, sister Jiang, have a nice trip, stay safe!" After saying this, Shangguan Ming took a few steps back, not forgetting to wave goodbye to Jiang Ran.
Soon, after Ye Zheng gave an order, the team finally started moving slowly.
Not long after the carriage drove out, Jiu'er got out of the carriage and sat on the outer edge of the carriage. He looked forward and raised his fist: "It's better to be a misunderstanding, or I'll beat you into a eunuch!"
After hearing what she said, Ye Zheng, who was driving the carriage next to him, couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and shouted in his heart: "Master, run!"
...
In the small courtyard in the east of the city, Ling Ying slept until very late as usual before getting up. She washed briefly, practiced her sword a few times in the courtyard without tying her hair, and when she felt bored, she sat down at the table to eat breakfast and read. novel.
At this moment, a woman in black opened the door and walked in.
"Envoy Zuo, Jiang Ran has led his people out of the city, and seems to be heading northwest."
Hearing this, Ling Ying blinked her beautiful eyes, put the spoon into the bowl, and smiled lightly: "The little girl still can't sit still. How many guards does she bring, and how strong is she?"
The woman in black continued to raise her hands and replied: "Reporting to the left envoy, there is a master who has ten first-rate masters, and the other twenty or so people are also around second-rate."
"That boy Tang Ji really loves her. He actually left a master-level expert to protect that little girl. In this way, there shouldn't be any problems." Ling Ying murmured a few words to herself, but thought about it carefully.
, and continued: "That's not right. That kid has been promoted again this time. Many people in the court have red eyes. If we don't protect everything, some people who are not afraid of death will attack that girl. To be on the safe side, let's send some people to pass on the order.
Protect Jiang Ran with the holy clothes along the way, and then let Qing Ge and Yun Jian take over."
The woman in black was stunned for a moment. It is very important for a hall leader to protect someone. The left envoy actually sent two of them, including one of the four guards on the right. Who is this Jiang Ran?
Even so, she didn't dare to ask any more questions. After she came to her senses, she replied: "Yes!"
Just when she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly remembered something and quickly took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it over: "Envoy Zuo, this is from Your Excellency Envoy Right."
"Oh?" Ling Ying raised her eyes again, reached out to take the letter, opened it and browsed through it, then sneered: "This Jianghu Conference is really related to those guys. Speaking of which, that kid Tang Ji seems to be planning to do it too.
He's just going to join in the fun, forget it, I'll let Shura continue to follow him."
After she finished reciting, she put the bookmark away and planned to go back to the study to write a letter and hand it back to the northwest. After taking two steps, she turned back, picked up the red jade pendant on the table, and hung it back on her waist.
After the jade pendant was turned over, a clear character "鸢" was finally revealed.
