Chapter 119 - 119 Set Off For the Jing City
When Zhao Ruifeng came out of Jiang Guoyou’s room, he found that the villagers’ expressions had changed again. They were looking at him with extra kindness, as if they were looking at a pile of shining gold!
“General Zhao, you’re the great general. You have to hold on!” A villager shouted that he had bet on Zhao Ruifeng winning!
“General Zhao, a man knows when to yield and when not to. If you really can’t hold on any longer, come back and get help!” The villager had bet on Jiang Xi to win. The entire village had started a bet on who would be the one suppressing whose luck.
By the time Zhao Ruifeng picked up Jiang Xi and left the Happy Village, the sky was already bright.
“These people will be coming with me to Jing City. Find them a place to stay.” Jiang Xi pointed at Wu Tielong and the others behind him.
“Yes.” Zhao Ruifeng nodded. “I’ve already prepared a house. They can move in directly.” However, when Zhao Ruifeng saw Wu Tielong’s face full of scars, he could not help but take a second look. These scars were different from ordinary scars. It seemed like he had been cut by a sharp weapon, and they were crisscrossed. He did not know how much hatred the person who had injured him had for him. His face was completely disfigured, and his face could not be seen properly.
Wu Tielong looked at Zhao Ruifeng and slightly nodded his head. However, he could not help but clench his fist, “General Zhao, thank you for escorting me this entire time.” He cupped his hands at Zhao Ruifeng. If he said that he was a bandit, no one would believe him.
Zhao Ruifeng waved his hand and did not care much. Jiang Xi was the wife that the emperor had given him, so he had to protect her. He was just a little surprised that a person like Wu Tielong would stay by the side of a little girl like Jiang Xi. Out of intuition, he always felt that there was something wrong with Wu Tielong. This person had the air of a bandit, but he also had an innate air of nobility. Only people from big families could cultivate such a temperament. Zhao Ruifeng had investigated Wu Tielong before, but no matter how he investigated, Wu Tielong was just a bandit who had wandered into the Happy Village.
Zhao Ruifeng’s eyes drooped.
Wu Tielong thought, ‘I’m the one being threatened! i also wanted to leave, but would Jiang Xi let me go?’
“Jiang Xi, come quickly. It’s a long journey. I asked someone to put a thick cushion in the carriage early in the morning and prepare some food. It’s great that you’re here. I won’t be playing alone in the future!” Zhao Yingying grinned, but it made Zhao Ruifeng feel a little guilty. When he was young, his heart was full of hatred. He hated Xiao Meili and the others, but he ignored his little sister who was still a child. By the time he realized it and had the ability to protect himself and Zhao Yingying, Zhao Yingying had already been raised by Xiao Meili to be as timid as a mouse. Even the first time he saw the grown-up Zhao Yingying, he almost could not hold back his tears when he saw her thin and timid appearance. When his mother died back then, his heart was filled with hatred, but now, he felt a little more regret.
Song Yun was dressed in men’s clothes and looked particularly heroic. She took large steps and swayed as she walked, looking more like a man than Jiang Shan.
“Don’t call me fourth sister-in-law in the future. Call me seventh brother. I’m seventh brother!” Song Yun patted her chest, and it made a puffing sound. She had wrapped her chest in three layers this morning, and her chest had been flattened! Those things was too much of a hindrance. They jumped up and down when she ran, and they was even bigger than the two maidservants’ at home. She almost strangled herself to death because of it.
Jiang Shan was a simple and honest man. He immediately changed his words. He thought to himself, ‘Song Yun is so good to Jiang Si. Jiang Si has been thousands of miles away, and she has been following him from thousands of miles. As expected, husband and wife can’t be separated. If Jiang Si knew about this, he would probably be moved to tears.’ He could even imagine Jiang SI’s ecstatic and excited expression when he saw Song Yun in Jing City. At the thought of this, Jiang Shan was a little envious.
“Jiang Xi, come in and have a seat. I haven’t been back to Jing City for more than a year. If it weren’t for your marriage, I wouldn’t have wanted to go back.” Zhao Yingying smiled as she pulled Jiang Xi into the carriage. This helped to ease her frustration of returning to the capital.
“Miss still has to participate in Jing City’s selection when you return,” the maidservant outside the carriage said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhao Yingying’s face drooped again. Although she would be eliminated, the thought of seeing Zhao Panpan and the others again made her very annoyed.
