I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

She followed Ji Xiaobei out, so he had to take some responsibility for her no matter what.

"Thank you, Mrs. Huang!"

Ji Xiaobei was extremely grateful. She had followed him to store land and had suffered a lot along the way.

In her heart, Huang Po is like a relative.

"Bei, I've been with you for the past two years and I know that no matter what happens to you, you can always turn danger into safety. You are destined to be rich and noble, and this time is no exception. Xiaoyao will be fine, don't worry, kid, don't worry, I'm here at home, I will take good care of the children."

Huang Po held Ji Xiaobei's dry hand and chattered to him.

Ji Xiaobei's eye sockets felt a little warm, he sniffed and nodded.

When it was almost dawn, Lang Ning woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Ji Xiaobei sitting in front of his bed.

He sat up suddenly.

"Miss Ji..."

Ji Xiaobei waved his hand and asked him to lie down.

"Lang Ning, Grandma Huang has checked you out. They are just superficial injuries. Nothing serious. You will be fine after a few days of recovery." Ji Xiaobei said.

After a good night's sleep, Lang Ning has recovered as before.

He was a guard, lying on the bed, and Miss Ji was sitting beside his bed. This was so unreasonable!

He hurriedly put on his shoes, got out of bed, and stood aside properly.

Lang Ning knew what Ji Xiaobei wanted to know most.

He swallowed and said, "That day, I arrived in Ye County, but I couldn't find the whereabouts of Master Fu and He Ye. I secretly asked the people in the Ye County government, but there was no result. The northern barbarians often harassed the people of Ye County. At night, a small group of cavalry would often harass the people and steal things. The Ye County government turned a blind eye and did not dare to intervene.

One day, the northern barbarians harassed the military camp, causing a melee. They were cavalrymen, brave and good at fighting. I was secretly watching from the dark, and unexpectedly saw Lord Fu and Master He. In the chaos, I failed to protect Lord Fu, and Master He was slightly injured. Lord Fu disappeared... Master He and I searched for a long time but couldn't find him. Later, we heard that the barbarians had abducted many people. Maybe... maybe..."

Lang Ning was choked up and couldn't continue.

He knelt down in front of Ji Xiaobei.

"Miss Ji, I'm sorry. I failed to protect Lord Fu!" Lang Ning blamed himself. If he had been braver, perhaps Lord Fu would not have been abducted.

Ji Xiaobei said calmly, "Lian Feng, help him up. You can't be blamed for this. I am already very grateful that you risked your life to help."

"No, Miss Ji, don't say that. You saved my life. I would go through fire and water for you!"

Lang Ning knelt on the ground again.

Lian Feng secretly observed Ji Xiaobei's expression.

He knew too well what it meant to be abducted by barbarians.

His grandfather was abducted by the enemy. After he came back, everyone avoided him as if he were the plague.

Some even suggested executing him.

What if he is an assassin, gathering intelligence for the enemy?

Ji Xiaobei's expression did not change much. After thinking for a while, he said, "Lang Ning, are you willing to go back with me?"

Ronning nodded without hesitation.

Lian Feng couldn't help but persuade her: "Miss Ji, it's too dangerous over there..."

He swallowed his words back halfway through.

No one can persuade Ji Xiaobei to change his mind once he has made up his mind.

He changed his words and said, "Miss Ji, I will go back and get some poisons. You can keep them with you in case of emergency."

Ji Xiaobei nodded.

When we returned to the inn, it was already daybreak.

Jiaojiao and Zhao Yan looked at Ji Xiaobei with dark circles under their eyes.

Ji Xiaobei didn't want to hide it from them, but he also didn't want to make them worry too much.

"Lang Ning came back and said the situation over there is not optimistic. I want to go over and take a look."

Jiaojiao looked at Ji Xiaobei expectantly.

Ji Xiaobei patted Jiaojiao on the shoulder and said, "He Ye is fine, don't worry, I'll leave the two children to you two!"

Zhao Yan was a little flustered. She stood up and said, "Xiaobei, go ahead. Don't worry about the child. Jiaojiao and I will take good care of him."

Guoguo and Zhengzheng felt that their mother was different from usual.

They ran over and snuggled into Ji Xiaobei's arms like two helpless kittens.

Ji Xiaobei hugged the two children and touched their heads.

He whispered, "Listen carefully to your aunts and wait for mother to come back!"

Zhengzheng raised his little face and nodded solemnly.

"Mother, are you going to rescue Uncle Fu?"

Guoguo suddenly asked.

Ji Xiaobei was stunned.

This child seemed to have a telepathic connection with me.

I have been anxious recently, and the child has become anxious as well.

Guoguo is naturally sensitive and has special abilities that are different from others. He is meticulous and thinks a lot.

Ji Xiaobei smiled and nodded, "Yes, Uncle Fu is in danger now, and mother has to go and protect him."

Guoguo whispered softly in Ji Xiaobei's ear: "Mom, when you need me, just call me. I can protect you."

Ji Xiaobei asked Zhao Yan and Jiaojiao to take An An and Zheng Zheng out.

Ji Xiaobei said seriously: "Guoguo, mother will find you when she needs you, but you can't act rashly. Ye County is a place where you are unfamiliar with and it is very dangerous."

Guo Guo was afraid that Ji Xiaobei would be angry, so she quickly coaxed him, "I will listen to my mother."

Ji Xiaobei gave a few more instructions.

I left a note for Zheng Guo, asking her to rest and recuperate.

……

Before leaving, Ji Xiaobei wanted to go to the government office.

She wanted to tell Dai Xingchen about Fu Jichang's disappearance.

I hope he can get in touch with Ye County and help find Fu Jichang's whereabouts.

He shouldn't be easily abducted by barbarians.

Ji Xiaobei would rather believe that he was injured and drifted away.

With the help of the government, maybe we can find him soon.

Lord Tong is from the Ministry of Rites. Through him, he should be able to meet Dai Xingchen smoothly. Ji Xiaobei is an ordinary citizen. It is harder than climbing to the sky to meet the prefect.

But she didn't want the people who hoarded the land to know.

She passed Lord Tong first.

She went to find Lu Xiong.

Lu Xiong readily agreed to act as a matchmaker.

An hour later, Lu Xiong came back dejected.

Mr. Dai said he was very busy and had no time.

Ji Xiaobei cursed Dai Xingchen's ancestors in his heart.

She went back to pack her things.

Jiaojiao is helping her pack her things.

A beautiful package lay quietly in a corner of the box, and she had never opened it.

That was given by the young prince Li Yunjiong.

It's nothing more than some gold, silver and other valuables.

Ji Xiaobei reached out and took it.

The package was sealed tightly and had not been touched when Jiaojiao was packing. It must have been Ji Xiaobei's personal belongings.

Jiaojiao saw her take the package and was about to open it.

She made an excuse to go out and closed the door for her.

When Ji Xiaobei opened it, he found a small wooden box made of golden nanmu wood.

When I opened the box, I saw a layer of golden ingots on it, 18 in total.

The layer below is a string of fine pearls, shining with a rich luster.

On the last layer lay a letter.

Ji Xiaobei took it out and looked at it curiously.

She was suddenly shocked.

This is a letter with traditional and simplified Chinese characters.

She quickly glanced at the contents of the letter and almost cried for joy.

She put the box and the letter in the cold storage.

Li Yunjiong is really fucking awesome.

It's really a timely help.

Li Yunjiong gave Ji Xiaobei a list.

In every county that Ji Xiaobei passed through, there were people from Li Yunjiong.

If Ji Xiaobei has any difficulties, he can go to these people.

Ji Xiaobei was so moved that he almost cried.

Li Yunjiong, the young prince really took a lot of trouble!

Ji Xiaobei rode out on the little white horse.

She went straight to Yurong Hutong in the north city.

After many twists and turns, we finally found Yurong Hutong.

The one at the innermost is it.

Ji Xiaobei went straight into the depths of the alley.

Before I even reached the door, I was driven out by a thick smoke.

She covered her mouth and nose, feeling a little anxious.

Li Yunjiong said that the person he was looking for lived here.

This person's house might be on fire.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaobei rushed in regardless of everything.

She covered her mouth with her scarf and fanned herself vigorously with her other hand...

“Cough cough cough… Is there anyone there… cough cough cough…”

Ji Xiaobei shouted with great effort and was almost suffocated.

An old voice came from the house.

"Ahem, who is it?"

Ji Xiaobei: If there are people here, it’s more important to save them first.

She rushed into the house.
