Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty
Chapter 14 Li Ji
Li Ji, who was always serious, had a hint of confusion in his eyes at this moment.
However, this emotional fluctuation only flashed by and was not reflected on his face.
Others might not be able to see his emotional fluctuations, but Jiang Yin, who had slept in the same bed with him in his previous life, noticed it.
But this discovery made Jiang Yin feel a little complicated.
You know, in her previous life, when she begged him, he just frowned and didn't make any other reaction.
She suppressed the emotion in her eyes, then curled her lips and smiled: "Sir, you are joking. Of course I have to recognize my lifesaver."
No matter what happened in her past life, it had nothing to do with Li Ji who knew nothing at the moment. What she had to do was to stay away from Li Ji as much as possible.
This person may be indifferent, and she can no longer be emotional with him. Besides, this person came to investigate the case, and she can't get too involved.
The only thing she had to do now was to save the Jiang family. She would not ask for trouble again because of her love for her husband.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but see a hint of sadness and mockery in her eyes.
Li Ji's eyes were deep, and then he nodded as if nothing had happened: "I am Li Ji, it's just a small favor, no need to mention it. But I'm afraid it's not safe for my lady to go this way, I'm going to Yazhou. If we are going the same way, you can bring someone to follow me."
Jiang Yin's pupils shrank slightly. She didn't understand why Li Ji, who was always indifferent, was interested in meddling in other people's affairs.
Her heart ached. Could it be that in his previous life, he just didn't want to care about her affairs?
She didn't show it on her face, and seemed to be thinking about whether to go with Li Ji.
However, Xiao Luo behind her suddenly brightened up her eyes and quietly pulled the corner of her clothes.
However, Jiang Yin pretended not to see it, and only looked up at Li Ji and said distantly: "I am grateful for your help twice, but I will not trouble you. This is a token of my Jiang family. You can visit my humble home anytime when you come to Yazhou."
She handed the token engraved with the word "Jiang" to Wang Heng and motioned him to give it to Li Ji.
She just wanted to get away from Li Ji as soon as possible, so why would she go and suffer the consequences by going the same way with him?
Since she didn't want to go the same way, Li Ji naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her.
As for the token of trust, Li Ji did not hesitate to accept it.
Seeing this, Jiang Yin's eyebrows jumped again. He didn't expect that his character of accepting everyone who comes would still be like this.
Seeing Li Ji accept the token, Jiang Yin said goodbye to him and returned to the carriage.
Only after the carriage drove away did she let out her breath, slumped against the carriage, holding her chest and gasping for breath.
In the end, she overestimated herself. She thought she could remain calm when she saw Li Ji again.
She never expected that the first time she met Li Ji in her life would be under such circumstances. Moreover, Li Ji became her inexplicable lifesaver.
Because of this relationship, even if she wanted to ignore Li Ji, she couldn't.
She was very upset. She clearly wanted to stay away, but she still went the other way.
"Madam, why don't we go with that gentleman? We are all going to Yazhou. If we go with him, there will be no danger on the road ahead..."
Xiao Luo, who was counting on her fingers and muttering to herself, looked up and saw Jiang Yin's appearance, and instantly panicked.
She hurriedly supported Jiang Yin and said, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Ever since the master and mistress left, her wife has often been acting strangely, and she is really afraid that her wife will break like the porcelain.
Jiang Yin raised his hand that was covering his chest, patted Xiao Luo's arm, and comforted her: "It's okay, just a little frightened."
She couldn't say that when she saw Li Ji, she couldn't help but think of the things in her past life that made her suffocated and heartbroken.
She thought she could face Li Ji calmly, but the reality was more difficult than she thought.
"My lady, please don't scare me. I am worried about you." Xiao Luo said with tears in her eyes, "I will ask the doctor to see you when we get back to the mansion. Please don't let anything unexpected happen."
Jiang Yin curled his lips and smiled, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
She also felt that she should see a doctor to see what was wrong with her.
If this happens every time she sees Li Ji, she will take a detour in the future.
In just half a day, Jiang Yin was attacked by two groups of assassins. He was actually a little nervous.
Fortunately, there was no assassination attempt until the post station, which made Jiang Yin feel relieved.
Because the tea-horse trade was transferred to the southwest, these tea growers were considered half-official merchants. Therefore, Jiang Yin could stay at the post station.
But she did not choose to stay, but only had a meal at the post station, rested for a while, asked the staff of the post station to help repair the carriage, and then set off.
It’s not that she is not afraid of being assassinated again, but the longer she stays outside, the more danger she will face.
If you stay overnight at the post station, you may be assassinated. It is better to go back early.
At least, back in Yazhou's mansion, there wouldn't be so many assassinations. Even if there were, there were more people in the mansion and the security was even stricter.
Jiang Yin originally thought that Li Ji would also come to the post station to rest, but he did not expect that Li Ji did not enter the post station at all. Instead, he set up camp two miles away from the post station to rest.
Wang Heng rode his horse slowly outside the car window. When he saw Li Ji and his group, he whispered, "Madam, Mr. Li and his group are outside. Would you like to come out and say hello to them?"
After all, there is a debt of gratitude involved, so it is only right and reasonable for us to step forward and say hello.
How did they meet again? Jiang Yin frowned slightly, cursed inwardly, and finally sighed and said, "Brother Yan, stop the car."
"Madam, are you going down?" Xiao Luo could see that she didn't want to go, so she consoled her, "If you don't want to go, why not let Guard Heng go there."
It is reasonable for me to go, but if it makes my wife unhappy, then I can just ignore it.
Jiang Yin raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I won't go down to your wife."
She kept her word. After the carriage stopped, she lifted the curtain, nodded to Li Ji from a distance, and told Yan Ge'er to continue on their way.
Xiao Luo: ...
In fact, you don’t have to stop the car, you can just nod to indicate.
Jiang Yin sat upright and said seriously, "This is called attention."
It's worth stopping the car for this lifesaver.
However, Wang Heng, who heard their conversation, dismounted and exchanged a few words with Li Ji before catching up and continuing on his way.
As for how Li Ji reacted, Jiang Yin didn't care.
Her heart was now in her throat again. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, there would be at least another wave of assassinations on the road ahead.
From time to time, she would tightly grasp the whistle hanging on her chest, ready to blow the whistle to alert the secret guards to come out if there was an assassin.
That way, even if by chance, all the assassins were dealt with, she wouldn't be indebted to anyone for saving her life.
But for some reason, Jiang Yin waited and waited until he arrived in Yazhou, but no assassin appeared.
She was a little surprised that these assassins had missed the best opportunity. Now that they were in Yazhou, it would not be so easy to assassinate her.
Of course, it is a good thing that there are no assassins. I just hope these people will be more sensible and behave themselves.
Otherwise, if she caught him, she would show no mercy.
