Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 578
Chapter 578 Wait for Me to Come Back
Yun Xiao followed Yun Lan back to their temporary residence. She had just had a cup of tea when she saw Rong Jin return.
Yun Xiao stared at Rong Jin’s expression. Seeing that Rong Jin’s expression was the same as usual and his dark eyes were not unnatural, she knew that Rong Jin had handled things very well.
When Rong Jin entered the room, Yun Xiao handed over a cup of tea that she had just poured and said softly, “It’s cold outside. Drink some hot tea to warm up your body.”
Rong Jin took the tea in Yun Xiao’s hand and took a sip. A faint smile appeared on his moist face as he said softly, “Those hidden guards will be able to find Zhou Jingyan in the next day.”
Yun Xiao’s expression was slightly stunned, and then she said, “This is very good.” She only hoped that Zhou Jingyan would return as soon as possible, and that the Eastern Jin Dynasty would also become chaotic. At that time, the West Yue army would face the city, so there would be no need for so many people to die.
After Rong Jin sat down, Yun Lan immediately ordered someone to bring up the food that had just been prepared. After they had eaten a late dinner, Rong Jin said, “Has there been any movement in the Eastern Jin Dynasty recently?”
On the way here, Rong Jin had already learned from the assassins of the Ten Directions Palace that Rong Xun had already occupied the Border City and was currently standing still. As for the matter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Rong Jin had also learned from the assassins that everyone on the surface knew about it.
However, this time, Rong Jin was asking about something that ordinary people did not know. Normally, only the upper echelons would know about this information.
Yun Lan thought for a moment, He bowed respectfully in Rong Jin’s direction and immediately said, “This subordinate recently learned something. The people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not attack the city because they were waiting for the supplies from the capital. However, this subordinate also brought people to investigate the supplies from the capital. They were neither grain nor equipment. I have yet to find out what exactly it was.”
Hearing Yun Lan’s words, Yun Xiao and Rong Jin exchanged glances and saw the same meaning in each other’s eyes.
If it wasn’t unexpected, this batch of materials was definitely gunpowder that Xiao Yuqi had sent over from the capital.
If the gunpowder was transported outside Border City, Country of Xiyue would probably have already lost before the battle started. Rong Jin followed the appearance of the gunpowder he had seen in his previous life and asked softly, “Is that thing in the shape of a round black ball?”
Seeing their expressions, Yun Lan was slightly surprised and said, “Exactly. Does Master know what this is?”
Rong Jin frowned slightly and then said, “Leave this matter alone. Tomorrow morning, you will bring people back to Border City to wait for orders. I will personally see this matter.”
Yun Lan thought of the injuries on Rong Jin’s body. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Yun Xiao winked at him. He knew that this matter looked even more unusual. He immediately said, “Yes, this subordinate understands.”
After Yun Lan left, only Yun Xiao and Rong Jin were left in the tent. Yun Xiao looked worriedly in Rong Jin’s direction and whispered, “You just woke up last night and are on your way today. Can your body bear it?”
Rong Jin’s face was full of caution. Although his soft voice was gentle, it was still loud. “This matter is of great importance. I’m worried about leaving it to someone else. My body is fine now. You don’t need to worry.”
Yun Xiao’en said. Although she still wanted to say something, she knew whether she would speak or not. She whispered, “Alright, I’ll accompany you tomorrow.” In any case, Yun Xiao had made up her mind that no matter where Rong Jin went, she would accompany him.
Rong Jin’s expression instantly turned ugly. He said with a strange expression, “Nonsense, I can go by myself tomorrow. You and Second Brother will go back together first. After I settle this matter, I will go back and make peace with you.”
But how could Yun Xiao be willing? When she thought of letting Rong Jin be trapped by himself, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. “We agreed that we should shoulder the risks together,” she said.
Rong Jin paced to Yun Xiao’s side. Looking at Yun Xiao’s elegant face, his knuckled finger landed on Yun Xiao’s hand. He rubbed it carefully and said softly, “This matter is extraordinary. I promise you that I will definitely come back in good condition. How about this?”
Yun Xiao shook her head and didn’t follow Rong Jin. She always felt worried. Although she knew that she didn’t know martial arts and was a burden, she still wanted to follow Rong Jin.
Rong Jin stretched out his hand and pressed Yun Xiao into his embrace. The strength in his hand was so great that even Yun Xiao could feel pain, but Yun Xiao did not say a word.
She raised her head and looked at Rong Jin’s warm and jade-like cheeks. There was a slight abnormality on her face, and her eyes were even fixated on Rong Jin’s pair of pitch-black eyes. Suddenly, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
Regarding Yun Xiao’s initiative, Rong Jin had no reason to refuse. Even if he pressed Yun Xiao into his body again, grabbed her lips, and forcefully deepened the kiss. After a long time, their breathing became heavier, and they finally let go of each other.
Rong Jin’s dark eyes stared at Yun Xiao’s face. After a long sigh, he suddenly reached out and carried Yun Xiao horizontally towards the innermost bed.
Yun Xiao was also very clear about what was going to happen. There was a faint shyness on her face. However, she still said, “Take me with you tomorrow?”
However, just as her voice fell, her lips were sealed by Rong Jin.
The two of them resisted death and lingered, Until she squeezed Yun Xiao’s stamina dry, Only then did Rong Jin get up from Yun Xiao’s body. Looking at the sweat on Yun Xiao’s forehead, He had someone fetch water because there was very little water in the mountains. He could not bathe. Rong Jin had to wet his handkerchief, clean Yunxiao’s body, and change her clothes before he started to clean himself. However, compared to his gentleness towards Yunxiao, Rong Jin directly walked out, poured cold water on his body, washed his clothes, and then changed into his clothes.
Looking at Yun Xiao’s palm-sized face, a trace of reluctance appeared in Rong Jin’s eyes. Then, he leaned over and kissed Yun Xiao’s lips. Just as he was about to leave, Yun Xiao grabbed onto the corner of his clothes.
Rong Jin frowned. He thought that Yun Xiao had woken up. Who knew that when he turned around to check, he knew that Yun Xiao was only in a nightmare. His eyes were tightly closed, but his lips were constantly talking about something.
Rong Jin Qing leaned closer to Yun Xiao’s lips and listened for a while. Only then did she know that Yun Xiao was whispering and bringing her along.
In an instant, her heart felt a faint pain. Her pair of black eyes were filled with doting. She leaned over again and kissed Yun Xiao’s lips. She whispered, “Wait for me to come back.”
After he finished speaking, he did not linger any longer and turned around to leave. Whether it was for Yun Xiao or their child, he would let himself return safely.
However, Rong Jin resolutely left without turning his head. Naturally, he did not see the person lying on the bed wet his cheeks with tears.
Her butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly a few times before she opened her eyes. Tears filled Gu Jing’s calm eyes as she stared fixedly at the slender figure further and further away. Only when she finally couldn’t see the figure did Yun Xiao pull up the blanket and completely cover her head, crying out loud.
Because she wasn’t strong enough, that was why Rong Jin didn’t bring her along. And now, she could only be a burden to Rong Jin.
If he didn’t want to be a burden, he could only dodge it far away.
The next morning, although her body was so tired that she didn’t have the slightest bit of strength, Yun Xiao still woke up early. After dressing herself up, she sat at the table and waited. She believed that Rong Jin would return safely.
Yun Lan originally thought that Yun Xiao would cry bitterly or lose her temper, but when he came in with the food, he only saw Yun Xiao calmly and naturally sitting at the side of the table, her expression unhappy and unhappy, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.
Yun Lan’s heart ached a little. No matter when, this Fourth Sister would not easily admit defeat. He thought of Rong Jin and felt that they were the same kind of people. No matter how bitter their hearts were, their appearances were as calm as ever.
After placing the food on the table, Yun Lan stared at Yun Xiao’s face for a while, but did not notice anything strange. Then, he said, “Master left three minutes ago when he was ugly last night.”
Yun Xiao’en said, indicating that she already knew. Looking at the food on the table, Yun Xiao did not have any appetite, but she still forcefully tried to persuade herself to eat more.
However, no matter what Yun Xiao said to herself in her heart that Rong Jin was fine, she was still a little worried, so much so that she could not eat at all. She whispered, “When are we leaving?” Since Rong Jin chose to leave secretly, he didn’t want her to be sad. Since he didn’t want to, she didn’t do it.
“Fourth sister, are you really alright?” Yun Lan asked worriedly.
Yun Xiao calmly and naturally looked at Yun Lan and whispered, “What do I need?”
Yun Lan wanted to say something else, but seeing Yun Xiao’s forced smile, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth and whispered, “I forgot to tell you something last night.”
“What is it?”
“The Emperor brought Nuo Nuo and Tong Tong to the Border City the day before yesterday and is now with Young Master.” Yun Lan hoped to use the Second Little to attract Yun Xiao’s attention.
Yun Xiao’s thoughts were attracted by Yun Lan’s words. She said nervously, “Are you saying that Tongtong, Nuo, and Ruo Ruo are here?” It had been almost two months since she had seen her own child. She missed it so much that she wished she could fly back to see Er Xiao and Ruo Ruo.
She asked nervously, “How are they?” One month after she gave birth, she threw Er Xiao to Ruo Ruo to visit. She returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty with Rong Jin. Now, she had not seen her child’s appearance for almost two months. I wonder if they have changed now, and if they will grow up a little …
Speaking of which, this mother of hers was not qualified at all.
