Zhiqiu lowered his head, his face sowhat pale.
Tian Jizi chuckled and said, "Want to know? Ask Yu Jizi, he definitely won’t tell you. Even if he does, it might not be the truth. You might as well go back and ask Huo Li, he’s soone who has had an epiphany."
Zhiqiu wanted to say sothing, but Yiqing pulled him back.
"Senior Brother Zhiqiu, listen to our master-uncle, let’s go back."
"Why can’t we stay and see for ourselves?"
"There’s no need. There’s nothing for us to see here."
It seems Yiqing is quite a sensible person.
...
They didn’t find Yu Jizi or Gu Youyou in the stone house, so they went to Qiuci unexpectedly encountering Lin Qianqing.
"Prince? Searcy? You guys..."
"Why are you here?" Searcy hurriedly asked.
Lin Qianqing said, "My cousin and I ca here a long ti ago. We originally planned to settle down here but unexpectedly..." She glanced at Jin Zijin and said, "Unexpectedly beca neighbors with Jin Ziyuan."
"Jin Ziyuan?" Searcy muttered, "No wonder he brought us here. So, Jin Ziyuan is here. Where is Jin Ziyuan now?"
"Jin Ziyuan was taken away by Yu Jizi. Earlier today, my cousin and You Jiang went to rescue him."
Huh? How can they rescue anyone?
Jin Zijin asked, "Do you know where they are?"
Lin Qianqing hastily nodded, saying, "I’ll take you there; they just left not long ago."
Jin Zijin returned to the carriage and nodded lightly at Tian Jizi inside.
The carriage quickly hurried into the desert, stirring up a dusty yellow dragon.
On the way, Searcy asked Lin Qianqing how she ended up here. Lin Qianqing replied softly, "The Emperor released us and gave us a lot of Silver Tael. We just kept wandering and eventually arrived here."
She omitted the part where Jin Xiaoran took out the silver note given by the Emperor, only simply recounting how they got here.
As they continued chatting, they saw a fierce sandstorm rising ahead.
Jin Zijin stopped the carriage, and Tian Jizi, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them.
Searcy lifted the curtain and looked out, shouting, "Looks like a fight up ahead? Ah, Miss Lin, is that your cousin?"
Lin Qianqing quickly lifted the curtain and exited the carriage, looking at the figures looming in the yellow sand in shock, exclaid, "Yes, it’s them."
Then she murmured softly, "Weren’t they supposed to be rescuing soone? How did they end up fighting?"
Jin Zijin’s expression darkened and he said, "Everyone sit back down."
With that, he drew his sword, cut the rope pulling the carriage, and rode the horse swiftly towards the swirling yellow sand ahead.
With Jin Zijin’s addition, Jin Xiaoran’s group quickly overwheld the opponents. The other side, seeing a formidable opponent had arrived, realized they had to flee or face being wiped out, begrudgingly took their people and left.
"Hmph, just wait and see."
"Big brother, you finally ca." Jin Xiaoran seeing Jin Zijin, felt a complex, indescribable emotion.
You Jiang pointed at those fleeing and said, "They’re the horse bandits from nearby; sohow they ended up in conflict with us."
One of their subordinates anxiously said, "They misunderstood thinking we’re here to take over their territory, and wouldn’t listen to any explanations."
Jin Zijin paused and understood.
"Let’s go, where are they?"
"Just ahead, follow ." Jin Xiaoran said.
While walking, he took out sothing and handed it to Jin Zijin, saying, "This was given to by Jin Ziyuan to pass on to you, he said it’s your belonging."
