Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 628
Chapter 628 With You
Heavy snow continued to fall from the sky, dressing the entire world in silver.
Yun Xiao slowly opened her eyes and reached out to touch it. She felt that her tentacles were ice-cold. She frowned slightly and felt a little more disappointed in her heart.
I wonder where Rong Jin went?
However, Yun Xiao did not have much time to worry. Very quickly, the worry in her mind was completely concealed by Er Xiao’s crying.
Yun Xiao quickly picked up Er Xiao and fed her. Then, she heard footsteps coming from outside.
Hearing the footsteps, Gu Jing Wu Bo’s eyes immediately showed a trace of a smile. She turned around and saw the man wearing a long moon white robe walking towards her. The familiar eyebrows and smile filled Yunxiao’s heart with satisfaction.
She smiled faintly and whispered, “You’re back?”
Rong Jin’en said. He brought Nuo Nuo over from Liu’er’s hand and teased her a few times before saying softly, “I went out to deal with some things. Don’t worry, I’ve already ordered someone to bring breakfast. Come and eat together.”
Yun Xiao nodded, then said softly, “Alright.”
The pupils in his arms stared at Rong Jin’s face for a few moments. The pair of obsidian-like gazes had not been withdrawn for a long time. Instead, they wanted to struggle to get Rong Jin to hug them.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao was also very satisfied with such a sweet day. She immediately gave Tongtong to Rong Jin, while she waited on Liu’er to wash up.
After washing up, Yunxiao saw that Rong Jin had already sat down at the table with Er Xiao in his arms, teasing them from time to time. The tenderness in his eyes unconsciously split open, “Did you invite Xiao Xi?”
Just as Yun Xiao’s voice fell, she heard Xiao Xi’s voice from outside, “Sister-in-law, I’m already here.”
Yun Xiao was satisfied with this meal.
There was nothing more satisfying than the fact that the most important person in his life was by his side.
After breakfast, Yun Xiao suggested that Rong Jin examine Xiao Xi’s pulse. After all, the matter with Xiao Xi’s eyes was very troublesome. After the examination, Rong Jin also said that Xiao Xi’s eyes were slowly improving after two days of applying medicine. It would still take half a month for them to recover their brightness.
This news made Xiao Xi’s smile even more unconcealable. After Rong Jin changed the prescription for Tong Tong and Nuo Nuo’s pulse diagnosis, Xiao Xi asked, “Brother, why haven’t you seen Brother Rong Xun these past few days?” The poisoning between Nuo Nuo and Xiao Xi hadn’t completely healed yet. The speed of the medicinal bath was already slow, so it wouldn’t be able to recover in a short period of time.
On the other hand, Rong Xun. Although she didn’t ask, she knew that the two armies would start a war and Rong Xun would definitely leave. However, she didn’t expect that Rong Jin would return, but Rong Xun still hadn’t disappeared. This made her very anxious.
When Rong Jin saw Xiao Xi ask, a faint glow appeared on his gentle face. He whispered, “Don’t worry, he’s fine.” No matter how much he asked, Rong Jin didn’t say anything.
Xiao Xi did not ask again.
At this moment, a soldier rushed over and bowed respectfully to the people inside the tent. He said loudly, “Your Highness, this subordinate has something to report.”
Rong Jin moved the two little ones in his arms into the arms of Yun Xiao and Xiao Xi before recruiting people.
However, the soldier’s words caused the faces of the people in the room to turn peculiar. “Reporting to Your Highness, this subordinate found some sneaky figures outside while patrolling today. This subordinate sent people to chase after them. The others have committed suicide, leaving only one survivor. This subordinate has already brought them over.”
When Yun Xiao heard what the soldier said, a bad feeling immediately surged out of her heart.
Sure enough, she had already noticed a trace of gloom on Rong Jin’s gentle face. Yun Xiao immediately said, “Jiang’er, take Xi and Nuo Tongtong out to relax.”
Although Xiao Xi was very innocent, she knew that something big was going on, so she immediately took her leave and let Jiang’er bring her down.
After they left, Rong Jin asked, “What exactly happened?”
The guard’s expression became even more unsightly as he said in a deep voice, “Your Highness, this subordinate found this on him.” After he finished speaking, he placed a package in front of Yun Xiao and Rong Jin.
Rong Jin stretched out his hand to open the parcel. However, when he saw the true appearance of the item clearly, a trace of surge appeared in his pitch-black eyes. However, this surge caused the temperature of the entire tent to drop by several degrees.
When Yun Xiao saw the things on the table, her face instantly turned pale. Ever since the cliff was blown up and she jumped off the cliff, and when she met Zhou Jingyan earlier, Zhou Jingyan had almost used such a small thing to kill Rong Jin!
It was actually gunpowder!
Seeing that Yun Xiao’s expression was pale, Rong Jin immediately reached out to hold Yun Xiao’s hand and gave her a relieved look. Only then did he coldly say, “Bring that suspicious person in!”
Seeing Rong Jin’s unsightly expression, the guards immediately knew that this was definitely not a good thing. In addition to the current war with the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they could not let go of any trouble. They immediately turned around and brought in the black-clothed man who was tied up outside. They made him kneel on the ground. Seeing that he was silent, they immediately said angrily, “We haven’t seen Your Highness yet!”
The black-clothed hidden guard only glanced at Rong Jin and Yun Xiao and snorted coldly without saying a word.
The guard was about to get angry again, but Rong Jin had already stopped him from looking at him.
Rong Jin picked up the gunpowder in front of him and elegantly walked to the black-clothed hidden guard. He said softly, “Who gave this to you?”
The black-clothed hidden guard remained silent. If not for the fact that his chin had already been removed, he would have probably bit his tongue and killed himself.
Rong Jin did not expect an answer from the Dark Guard either. He patted the Dark Guard’s shoulder lightly. This seemed to be very light, but Rong Jin secretly used some strength to say.
The hidden guard frowned in pain, but he still didn’t say a word.
However, right at this moment, a jade token fell from the Black One Dark Guard’s body. Rong Jin picked up the jade pendant and examined it. Obviously, it was an identity token. Before this, he had personally seen a similar identity token.
As a result, the identity of this hidden guard was already on the verge of being revealed.
A trace of caution flashed through Rong Jin’s eyes as he coldly said, “Where else did you put this powder?”
Few people knew the name of gunpowder, but Rong Jin called out the name of this dark thing so easily, causing the Dark Guard to be slightly shocked and quickly restrained his radiance.
“Since you know the name of the gunpowder, you naturally know the power of this thing. Soon, everyone here will die, and all of them will be buried with me!”
Rong Jin frowned. Hearing what he said, Rong Jin knew very well that he could not get any useful information from this person’s mouth.
Rong Jin waved his hand and asked the guards to bring the black-clothed man down.
As soon as the others in the room disappeared, Yun Xiao anxiously asked, “This is gunpowder. What should we do now?” Yun Xiao, who had almost died under the gunpowder once, clearly remembered the power of the gunpowder on the cliff. According to what the black-clothed man said, everyone would die. In other words, it was possible that this gunpowder was buried everywhere in the barracks, waiting for it to explode at any moment!
Rong Jin’s brows furrowed. Especially in the current weather, it was still snowflakes. It was simply too difficult to find something in this weather. Especially those people’s footsteps. Even if they stepped into the snow, they would soon be buried in this kind of weather.
Rong Jin had always remembered the power of gunpowder, so he had already had people watch Xiao Yuqi and Zhou Jingyan’s movements. However, he did not expect that those two people’s movements were so fast that they had already allowed people to sneak in and bury the gunpowder in various parts of the barracks.
Since they had been infiltrated by people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it also meant that the people he had sent to see Rong Jin and Zhou Jingyan had been dealt with.
Rong Jin was already worried. Seeing Yun Xiao’s pale face, he frowned slightly and said softly, “I will send someone to investigate. You should rest here first.”
At this time, how could Yun Xiao still rest? If the gunpowder was detonated, then the 500 thousand troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would all die.
Under such circumstances, how could Yun Xiao not be worried?
Yun Xiao shook her head and said firmly, “I’ll accompany you to look for it.”
Seeing this, Rong Jin knew that Yun Xiao had already made up her mind. She frowned slightly and nodded in the end.
The two of them joined hands and quickly walked outside. Then, the soldiers blew the horn. This horn had the intention of gathering.
Because the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were well trained, they quickly gathered at the moment they heard the sound of the horn. When Rong Jin and Yun Xiao walked to the square, they saw 500,000 troops. Except for the wounded and the guards, all of them gathered on the square. Those uniform movements made people’s blood boil.
At this moment, the snowflakes were still drifting down day and night. However, even if the snowflakes covered every soldier’s body, no one raised their hands to wipe them. They allowed the snowflakes to put on a pure white coat.
When Yun Xiao saw this, her heart couldn’t help but throb.
When Rong Jin and Yun Xiao walked in, the soldiers bowed respectfully in their direction. “Greetings, Swallow King and Princess Yan.”
Rong Jin only nodded his head. Then, he signaled for a soldier to raise the gunpowder that he had handed over to him and display it in front of the soldiers. After that, he threw the gunpowder onto an open space as quickly as possible.
The moment the gunpowder landed on the ground, it suddenly let out a violent “bang” sound.
Along with this sound, all the snowflakes on the ground were blown up. For a moment, the area where the gunpowder exploded was filled with fog. It was impossible to see anything clearly, especially the snowflakes that were blown up like a giant sphere. The snowflakes danced outwards layer by layer.
The destructive power of the gunpowder caused all the soldiers to reveal expressions of shock.
The 500,000 troops didn’t expect Rong Jin to gather them and give them a special gift without saying anything. At this moment, everyone’s hearts were filled with a strange feeling.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was well-trained on a normal day, he would have thrown away his weapon and unloaded his armor to flee when he saw such a scene!
