Chapter 71 Ji Xuanke may not be very good at martial arts, but he brings many people with him. , the people in Dongchang saw that the momentum was not right and quickly evacuated.
After all, the order they received was to assassinate.
These people in front of them were clearly soldiers from the border.
"Boss, are you okay?"
A tall and thick man rushed to catch up with Ji Xuanke.
Although he was wearing the red armor of a border soldier, he smelled like a bandit when he opened his mouth.
"It's okay."
Ji Xuanke tore off his shirt and wrapped it around the broken finger, pinched the jade button and put it away carefully.
This is not the first time he has lost this jade button.
This jade button would always slip off his waist inexplicably, and it was obvious that the rope was tied very carefully.
It's like implying that this jade button does not belong to him.
But he would find this jade button every time.
Ji Xuanke got off his horse and walked to Ji Yan to salute.
"You, you are Ji Shao, please get up quickly."
Ji Yan was a little surprised and looked Ji Xuanke up and down.
"Thank you for remembering Ji Shao, Your Highness."
Ji Xuanke stood up, also a little surprised.
"Of course.
The fifteen-year-old No. 1 Scholar is unparalleled.
My father once showed me your article."
The more Ji Yan looked at Ji Xuanke, the more surprised he became.
In his memory, Ji Xuanke was as handsome as jade, as green as a pine tree in the wind, full of bookishness and a distinguished temperament.
He calculated in his mind that Ji Xuanke should be only seventeen years old now.
His brows had lost the gentleness and elegance of the past, and his sharpness was revealed after the storm.
"Your Highness, it is inappropriate to stay here for a long time.
Let's leave here quickly."
Ji Shao waved, and the people behind him immediately led the horse over.
The people following Ji Xuanke were not serious soldiers.
On his way from Beijing to the border, he met some Caosang people, and he intended to take these people for his own use.
We walked and collected all the way, and there were already a lot of people here.
This generation of heavy snow continued, and nearby villages were often closed due to heavy snow and no food was available.
He would sometimes take these people to the mountains to find some game, and provide it to the mountain people after being self-sufficient.
Meeting Ji Yan today was also a coincidence.
He decisively chose to come to the rescue, perhaps because he was planning for the future.
Ji Xuanke asked his men to free up a few horses for Ji Yan and his five remaining guards.
Ji Yan and Sun Yinlan rode the same horse together.
The wind and snow were very strong, so Sun Yinlan buried herself on Ji Yan's back and hugged his waist tightly to avoid being knocked down.
Ji Yan lowered his head and glanced at Sun Yinlan's hand at his waist.
The noble girls in the capital are naturally pampered and have very delicate bodies.
There were large patches of frostbite on her fingers.
Ji Yan suddenly reined in the horse and asked it to stop.
He and Sun Yinlan changed positions and let her sit in front.
Sun Yinlan was puzzled and looked at him in surprise, but she and Ji Yan had only spoken five sentences together, so she didn't want to ask.
She meekly lowered her head and grasped the slightly raised front part of the saddle with both hands.
Ji Yan got on the horse again, put his arms around Sun Yinlan's waist, pulled out a piece of animal skin clothing from the belt hanging on the side of the horse, threw it on Sun Yinlan's legs, and covered her hands.

He hit the horse and galloped to catch up with the others.
Gu Jianli slid his wheelchair and stopped under the willow tree in the courtyard, slightly raising his head and looking towards the top of the tree.
She just vaguely saw the willow tree sprouting buds in the distance.
When she came to take a closer look, she realized that she had made a mistake.
However, it has just passed the first month of the year, and the winter this year is very cold, so it is unlikely that the seeds will germinate so early.
Gu Zaili walked home in the afterglow of the setting sun and saw her sister in a daze under the willow tree, so she walked over.
"Why are you here alone?"
"Sister."
Gu Jianli looked away and smiled at his sister.
"It looks like the wind is going to pick up, go back to the house."
Gu Zaili walked behind Gu Jianli's wheelchair and pushed his sister back to the house.
Gu Jianli asked: "Everyone in the family has been very busy recently, but I can't help with anything.
I am very idle.
The willow tree is about to sprout, and I am going to get moldy."
Regarding Gu Jingyuan's comeback, many people are frightened and regretful.
Especially those who had added insult to injury when Gu Jingyuan was in trouble are now as frightened as a bird.
How far you hid in the beginning, now you are as active as ever in fawning over her.
Posts about banquets kept coming, and gifts kept coming.
Fortunately, those people were still worried that it would be inconvenient for the Gu family to entertain them now that they lived in the farmyard, otherwise they would definitely have broken the threshold.
Tao has to deal with the posts and gifts sent to him every day and carefully screen them.
He will accept a small part and return most of them.
The palace was being renovated, and Gu Zaili didn't care about the restaurant for the time being.
He went to the palace every day to take care of the repairs.
Even Gu Chuan frequently ran to the palace to help.
Not to mention Gu Jingyuan, now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, things are constantly happening in the court.
He is too busy to see anyone, and sometimes he is too busy to go home at night.
In this way, only Gu Jianli was free.
She wanted to help, but neither Tao nor Gu Zaili allowed her to work too hard on the grounds of recovering from her injuries.
"The most important thing for you now is to take care of your legs.
You can't leave any hidden dangers.
Try to be there during the Flower Festival."
Gu Zaili pushed the wheelchair to the threshold.
Gu Jianli stood up and held the door, while Gu Zaili helped her in.
Gu Jianli chatted casually: "In the past, I would have paid close attention to these intricate interactions.
But after experiencing ups and downs, I suddenly felt that it was not necessary."
Gu Zaili poured two bowls of tea and pushed one bowl to his sister.
She took a sip of the hot tea and said, "Some honorable things have to be done."
As soon as Gu Zaili finished speaking, Ji Xia ran in and announced: "The old lady from Guangping's residence is here."
"She" An unexpected thought flashed through Gu Jianli's heart, and he immediately guessed the reason for the visitor to Guangping's residence.
When the old lady saw Gu Jianli, she lost her original indifference.
Her smile was full of wrinkles.
She held Gu Jianli's hand affectionately and said "good daughter-in-law".
"My mother won't have any objection if you go back to your parents' home.
It's just that you and Wu Jing have lived here for a long time, and my mother misses you.
It's time to go home."

Gu Jianli felt a little embarrassed when he heard her calling herself "mother".
The old lady's throat seemed to have been rubbed with honey as she continued: "Fourth Sister and Liu Lang also miss you and think of you every day at home."
Gu Jianli hadn't seen those two children for a long time.
Two young and cute faces appeared in front of his eyes.
Gu Jianli couldn't help but curled his lips.
The old lady carefully observed Gu Jianli's expression, and when she saw Gu Jianli smiling, she felt happy in her heart, and her voice became sweeter and sweeter: "Li, I will always think about you when I come home."
Gu Jianli had a decent smile on his face, and his tone was a little distant: "I can't say for sure about this matter.
I will ask the fifth master when he comes back."
Although she said this, Gu Jianli knew that she could not stay in her parents' house for a long time, and would have to go back to Guangping uncle's house soon.
"Okay, okay," the old lady responded, "You live comfortably and it's good to know that your family is thinking of you.
Mother knew that you were injured on your leg, so she brought you some tonic.
Oh, it's easy to get cold now.
I'll give it to you with my own hands.
I made a cloak to keep me warm, but I don’t want to get cold.”
"You are interested."
Gu Jianli responded politely.
After the old lady left perfunctorily, Gu Jianli and Gu Zaili smiled at each other, helpless and relieved.
"Okay, you can rest.
I have to go back to the room to look at the account books and drawings.
Some parts of the palace are severely damaged and need to be rebuilt."
Gu Zaili stood up.
Before Gu Zaili left, he refilled the charcoal fire in the brazier for Gu Jianli and checked that the water in the pot was still hot before he went out with confidence.
Gu Jianli sat at the square table for a while, then called Ji Xia to help her into the back room.
She sat down by the window and asked Ji Xia to put a lamp on the table and do some sewing in her spare time.
"Call me if you have anything to do.
I'll go to the kitchen and keep guarding the pots."
Ji Xia carefully prepares nutritious soup every day and squats in the kitchen almost all day long guarding the pots.
Gu Jianli turned his head and looked out the window at the sunset dyed by the setting sun, slightly lost in thought.
In fact, since what happened that day, Gu Jianli hardly saw Ji Wujing in the following days.
Ji Wujing appears and disappears.
Sometimes Gu Jianli falls asleep and doesn't come back until after midnight.
Occasionally, he would eat with Gu Jianli, but he always looked sad and didn't talk much.
Gu Jianli didn't know what he was doing.
After being in a daze for a while, Gu Jianli lowered his head, picked up the half-made knee pads in the sewing basket, and continued to sew.
The knee pads were made for her father.
She saw that her father left early and came home late, and she was worried that his father would be cold.
Gu Jianli focused on doing things and often neglected the things around him.
So when Ji Wujing sat on the other side of the table, she realized that he was back.
Gu Jianli was startled, raised his eyes to look at him, and said warmly: "You're back."
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Ji Wujing put his chin in his hand and lazily looked at Gu Jianli sewing his knee pads.
Gu Jianli was silent for a moment, then said: "This is not nonsense, this is polite words and politeness."
She lowered her head and continued to sew on her knee pads.
Ji Wujing smiled indifferently and casually looked at the colorful silk threads in the sewing basket, as well as some half-embroidered handkerchiefs and sachets.
Gu Jianli let him go and didn't care about him.

"Gu Jianli, what is this?"
Ji Wujing asked slowly.
Gu Jianli raised his eyes and saw the menstrual belt dangling between Ji Wujing's fingers.
He was so shocked that he dropped the knee pads in his hand and quickly snatched it back from Ji Wujing's hand.
He placed it on his lap under the table and frowned.
Stare at him: "You are not allowed to touch this" Ji Wujing was careless at first, but suddenly Gu Jianli snatched the thing away.
He was a little surprised and asked: "It's just a cloth belt, and I won't snatch it from you, so what?"
Gu Jianli was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain.
Ji Xia had just made this for her.
It was half done, and the Qinghe picture on it had not yet been embroidered.
Ji Wujing glanced at the sewing basket and picked up the menstrual belt from inside.
This one was made by Gu Jianli himself, it was light pink, and the pattern on it was not finished yet.
"Give it to me" Gu Jianli reached out and grabbed it.
How could Ji Wujing let her snatch him away from him again?
He lay lazily on the ground and leaned back, holding the cloth belt in front of his eyes, looking at it curiously, and said in a casual tone: "The one who hides love letters."
Gu Jianli was furious: "This is a woman's thing.
You really can't touch it and give it back to me."
Ji Wujing glanced at Gu Jianli in surprise, then turned his eyes to the cloth belt in his hand.
In an instant, he suddenly realized: "So it's this."
He touched the mooncloth carefully and said seriously: "This material is not soft enough."
"Give it back to me" Gu Jianli clenched his fist and knocked on the table.
"How do you tie this thing on?"
Ji Wujing suddenly became interested, raised one leg slightly, and compared it blindly between his hips. gd1806102:
