Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 549
Chapter 549 Re-enter The Capital
There was no clear distinction between the white sky and the dark night in the dark passageway. By the time everyone reached the dark passageway outside the capital, there was already a faint pale belly in the horizon.
Normally, it would take two hours to make a carriage from the Yun Clan to the capital, let alone walk. After walking for more than two hours, they finally arrived at the dark crossing.
Yun Xiao looked at the tired Yun Family members who were gasping for breath at the entrance of the cave, and a faint worry appeared in her eyes. “Mom and dad, wait a while longer. Second brother will come to pick us up soon.”
Yun Maozhe graciously said. Although he had slept for a long time during the day, he was still extremely tired after walking for more than two hours at a time. “Alright, how is Brother Han now?”
“Brother Han is just asleep. Daddy, don’t worry.” Yun Xiao said softly. Along the way, Brother Han had always insisted on walking on his own. He was small, and his footsteps were also small. If someone else took a step, he would have to take two steps. In the end, he really couldn’t hold on any longer. Only then did Rong Jin pick him up and walk.
However, I didn’t expect Brother Han to fall asleep just like this after walking all the way.
“That’s good,” Yun Maozhe was relieved.
Although Sister Min was also very tired, she was still more excited. Seeing Yun Xiao and Rong Jin walk over, she quickly ran over and grabbed Yun Xiao’s arm. She took advantage of the situation to let Yun Xiao sit with her. She opened her sleepy eyes and whispered, “Fourth Sister, are we going to Country of Xiyue in a few days after we leave the capital?” I have never been out of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in my entire life. I wonder what Xi Yue looks like. ”
His words were filled with anticipation.
Yun Xiao smiled lightly and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. Although Sister Min was older than her, she had a good temperament. “Second sister, you’re joking. How could you be so fast? However, when we get into the carriage, we’ll be much faster.”
“Then what does Xi Yue look like? Are you wearing the same clothes as us?”
“There are some differences. I feel that it’s a bit more beautiful than ours. However, I don’t want to tell you right now. I’ll know when you arrive in West Vietnam.” Yun Xiao smiled lightly. She was also very tired now, so she didn’t want to talk much.
Previously, she and Rong Jin had traveled to the West Vietnam, so she naturally knew a lot about the customs of the West Vietnam. She had also seen a lot of exotic clothes. They were very unrestrained, but there was no denying that those clothes were really beautiful.
“If you don’t say it, then don’t say it. Coincidentally, leave me a little more anticipation.”
As the two of them were talking, they heard a slight noise at the entrance of the cave. Afterwards, the people in the hidden passage became unconsciously vigilant. However, when they heard the familiar knocking sound, their expressions relaxed.
Not long after, Yun Lan, who was dressed in night clothes, walked over and looked at the people in the secret passage before saying, “Alright, since everyone is here, let’s hurry up and leave. Zhou Jingyan’s fifty thousand troops are heading towards the capital. The defense will be relatively weak. For us, this is also an opportunity.”
When Yun Maozhe and the others heard this, even if they heaved a sigh of relief, the rest of the Yun Clan also quickly got up. Thinking that they would soon be out of their current situation, they heaved a sigh of relief.
On the other hand, Yun Xiao’s brows were tightly knitted. She did not expect that Zhou Jingyan would be so impatient. He had actually sent fifty thousand troops to force Zhou Jingxu into the palace at this time. She just did not know how Zhou Jingyan would deal with Zhou Jingxu.
I only hope that Zhou Jingxu can listen to what he said before, save his life first, and talk about other matters later.
Following Yun Lan out, he quickly left the secret path, and the light in the horizon became more and more bright.
Now, he could clearly see some figures.
Yun Lan and the others carefully avoided the sight of the officers and soldiers on the city gates. Soon, they entered a forest, where horses had already been prepared.
Yun Xiao gave everyone food. Everyone got into the carriage as fast as they could. Rong Jin also received news that Second Master Yun was safe and sound and had escaped from his trap. This time, everyone had a feeling of escaping. There was also some hope for the future. They got into the carriage happily, but only Yun Xiao remained standing still.
Rong Jin glanced at Yun Xiao beside him, and a strange look appeared in his eyes. “What’s wrong?”
Yun Xiao glanced at Rong Jin and then said, “I’m a little worried about Zhou Jingxu.” Yun Xiao always had a feeling of guilt towards Zhou Jingxu. No matter what in her previous life, Zhou Jingxu had always eaten his own cooking before he died of poison, even though the poison was Zhou Jingyan’s.
Now, in this life, she didn’t want to see Zhou Jingxu die in front of her again.
Yun Xiao and Rong Jin stood there motionlessly, causing the others to be worried. They all looked over and said, “Xiao Xiao, aren’t you leaving yet?”
Yun Xiao smiled gently at the crowd. She turned around to look at Rong Jin and whispered, “If I wanted to go back and help Zhou Jingxu at this time, what would happen to you?”
Rong Jin stared fixedly at Yun Xiao’s face with a trace of pampering in his eyes. When he saw the persistence in Yun Xiao’s eyes, Rong Jin nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll accompany you.”
Hearing Rong Jin’s words, Yun Xiao’s eyes became sparkling. She also understood that Rong Jin had truly accepted her. That was why she was willing to tolerate everything around her. Yun Xiao threw herself into Rong Jin’s embrace and whispered, “I’m sorry.” I’m sorry to make you pay so much for me. I’ll make things difficult for you again. Go save a child who killed his mother’s enemy.
Rong Jin gently patted Yun Xiao’s back and whispered, “Needless to say, I’m sorry, there is a debt owed to me. After all, Zhou Jingxu is different from the Jin Emperor.”
Yun Xiao nodded, while Rong Jin warned Yun Lan to leave first with the others. They quickly came to meet them.
Afraid that they would encounter danger along the way, Rong Jin sent out a lot of hidden guards to escort them.
Yun Maozhe didn’t know where Yun Xiao and Rong Jin were going, but he was still worried. He never knew what this daughter was thinking. He whispered, “You guys come back early.”
Looking at the carriage slowly moving away, Yun Xiao felt a heavy feeling in her heart once again. Yun Xiao tightly held Rong Jin’s hand and took the initiative to tell Rong Jin about what happened between her and Zhou Jingxu. She did not want to hide anything from Rong Jin.
Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Rong Jin’s eyes grew deeper. He held Yun Xiao’s hand tightly and said, “Don’t worry, I will try my best to get someone to help him.” She owed Zhou Jingxu a life. He helped her return Zhou Jingxu’s life, and Yun Xiao would no longer feel guilty about it in the future.
“Alright, let’s wait here. I hope he’s really fine. Once we’re sure that Zhou Jingxu is fine, we can leave.” With Rong Jin’s agreement, Yun Xiao was able to relax a little. “How is your injury now?”
“Much better,” Rong Jin pulled Yun Xiao to the side and sat down first. Then, he took out a carrier pigeon and wrote a few lines of words before sending it flying.
Seeing Rong Jin’s actions, Yun Xiao felt relieved, However, Yunxiao was unwilling to believe Rong Jin’s words. He pressed down on Rong Jin, Take off his clothes, Looking at the wound on his leg, Although the medicine was good, However, Rong Jin did not get a good rest. As a result, the wound still inevitably had a little blood, and his heart felt a little more annoyed. He ignored Rong Jin’s struggles and directly rummaged through Rong Jin’s arms to apply some medicine to Rong Jin. After dressing it again, Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. “Next time you get injured, be honest, don’t say anything else.”
Looking at Yun Xiao’s stern little face, Rong Jin had a faint smile in his eyes. Then, he grabbed Yun Xiao’s hand and said softly, “Alright, I understand. Don’t worry.”
The two of them sat quietly on the ground. It had been an unknown period of time since they had enjoyed peace like this. Looking up at the few Xing Chen in the sky, Yun Xiao said softly, “I wonder how Nuo Nuo and Tong Tong are now?” Second Young Master was so picky. I wonder if it’s been so long since I’ve seen them. Are they hungry and thin? Especially Tong Tong. Her body is so weak. No matter where Yun Xiao goes, she will be worried.
“Ruo Ruo sent a letter saying that Nuo and Tongtong are fine now, you don’t have to worry.” Although Rong Jin missed Er Xiao very much, now that they were outside, they could only control what they were thinking in their hearts.
“Yes,” Yun Xiao said gloomily. “If Tongtong’s health is as good as Nuo’s, I don’t need to worry anymore.”
“We’ve already left enough medicine for Tong Tong before we came. Every day, we take a medicine bath. One day, Tong Tong’s body will recover,” Rong Jin said. There were also some worries in his deep eyes. Tong Tong was born prematurely, and coupled with her weak body, it was difficult for her to be like a normal child. However, Rong Jin had been hiding these words from Yun Xiao, deeply afraid that Yun Xiao would be worried.
“Hopefully,” Yun Xiao had now placed all of her trust in Rong Jin.
Suddenly, a carrier pigeon flapped its wings and stopped in front of Rong Jin. Rong Jin quickly removed the letter from the carrier pigeon’s feet. After seeing the contents, he handed the letter to Yun Xiao.
After Yun Xiao finished reading, her expression became a little gloomy. “I didn’t expect Zhou Jingyan to really force the palace. Fortunately, he didn’t kill Zhou Jingxu directly. He just imprisoned him. I wonder where Zhou Jingyan imprisoned Zhou Jingxu?”
“The hidden guard hasn’t found out yet. Let’s go back to the capital first.” Rong Jin looked at the sky and a faint glint flashed in his deep eyes.
“Alright,” Yun Xiao stood up with Rong Jin, tidied up the letter, and followed Rong Jin out.
As the sky grew brighter and brighter, the fiery red sun slowly rose and shone on the two of them, pulling their silhouettes very, very long, giving them a feeling of depression for no reason …
