After bidding farewell to Qin Nanxian, Jiang Zuiyao went to Zuiyao Pavilion alone to take away the hard work of her research over the past few months. On this trip, she could no longer be as cowardly as the last time.

After returning to Shaofu, I quietly started to pack my luggage. I simply prepared some clothes for daily use. There were not too many complicated things. Carrying too much would be a burden.

That night, Jiang Zuiyao hugged Chu Yi as she fell asleep, never letting go of her.

This is Jiang Zuiyao's only concern in the world now. If she can't let go, the only one left is her daughter.

The next morning, at dawn, Jiang Zuiyao no longer wore her usual floor-length skirt, but put on a neat green shirt, a very simple bun with green silk stockings, no makeup, no rouge, and no makeup.

He walked over to the couch.

Reluctantly, he touched Chu Yi's sleeping face, smiled slightly, and murmured softly: "Wait for me to come back. If mother can't come back, you have to live well."

For some reason, Jiang Zuiyao vaguely felt that there was an unforeseen danger hidden in this trip.

If it had been in the past, she could have left calmly, but now, she was full of worries.

Chu Yi is still so young, not even one year old yet. She hasn’t heard her call her mother yet, and she hasn’t seen her grow up yet. If she really can’t come back, Chu Yi will be her biggest

Pity.

As I thought about it, my eyes became wet.

It happened that at this moment, Xijun opened the door. After being a personal maid for so many years, she was already used to getting up early. She looked at Jiang Zuiyao who woke up, and after washing herself, she stood at attention dressed up. She said unexpectedly:

"Master, why did you get up so early?"

Jiang Zuiyao quickly wiped the tears from her eyes secretly, stood up, calmed down her emotions, and then turned around and said, "I'm going out for a while to take good care of Chu Yi."

Xiyun was even more surprised. Seeing that Jiang Zuiyao had already packed up and saluted, she asked, "Where is Master going? I haven't heard anything about this."

Jiang Zuiyao smiled lightly: "You don't have to know where I'm going, and if others ask, you don't have to tell me when I left."

After saying these words, Jiang Zuiyao stepped out and walked out. Xijun chased after him with a confused look on his face and said, "Master, are you coming back?"

Jiang Zuiyao stopped and looked back. Xijun looked at her worriedly.

Jiang Zuiyao smiled slowly: "Of course I will come back."

Xiyun nodded: "Then I will wait for your return with peace of mind."

Jiang Zuiyao, who wanted to leave, thought about it and said in a low voice: "If I can't come back, I will sell all the valuable things in the warehouse, take the money and take Chu Yi out of Kyoto to find a place to live."

, raise her up."

Xiyun panicked all of a sudden and ran quickly to Jiang Zuiyao's side, saying anxiously: "Master, what do you mean by this? You were fine yesterday, why did you suddenly say this?"

Jiang Zuiyao said bitterly: "The only person I can entrust now is you, Xijun, you must take good care of Chu Yi."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Zuiyao turned around and left in a hurry. No matter how Xijun called her, she never looked back and left resolutely.

After leaving the gate of Shao Mansion and walking two streets, Jiang Zuiyao dared to shed the tears that she had been holding back for a long time.

It was a cold winter morning, and the cold wind stung her tear-stained cheeks, which hurt slightly. Jiang Zuiyao wiped her tears and couldn't help but laugh at herself for being cowardly. She didn't know where she was going or what she was going to do on this trip, so she felt sorry for herself for not living up to expectations.

.

When they arrived at the city gate, they found that Yuhe and Qin Nanxian had already arrived. Jiang Zuiyao walked over and said with a smile: "Why are you here so early? Am I late?"

Yuhe ignored him without any concern, while Qin Nanxian smiled and said: "We have just arrived. It's not too late. You are dressed very refreshingly today."

Jiang Zuiyao squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly: "Of course you have to dress up smartly when going on a long trip."

Qin Nanxian looked at Jiang Zuiyao's reddish eyes and knew that she was covering up something sad. He didn't know why Jiang Zuiyao was crying, but he couldn't ask, so he just smiled back.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps in the distance, causing the three people to look around.

I saw a black shadow in the distance coming on the wind, running at extremely fast speed.

Yuhe immediately showed a vigilant gaze and subconsciously held his hand on the sword at his waist. Qin Nanxian saw this and reminded him: "Yuhe, don't be impulsive yet."

The wind was blowing under the black shadow's feet. Even with countless years of skill, it would never be possible to walk on the wind. As he watched the black shadow get closer and closer, he rushed in front of the three people and immediately stopped them.

The moment he stopped, a gust of cold wind blew up, causing Jiang Zuiyao's green shirt to sway in the wind.

Such a big aura, this was Jiang Zuiyao's first feeling.

He ran so fast, but when he stopped he was so steady.

The three people looked at the black shadow intently. The black shadow also looked at the three of them. After a rough glance, the expressionless face suddenly smiled like a warm sun and said happily: "My name is Yi.

Chen, I will join Nighthawk from now on and lead you on the mission. This is our first meeting. Please take good care of me."

Such an action made three people with different faces express their surprise.

Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but look at the man named Yi Chen more carefully in front of her. He had distinct features and a bit of handsomeness, and a warm smile. The morning light reflected on his face, which was sweet and warm. A breeze blew by,

The long flowing hair floats between the eyebrows and gently rises at the corners of the mouth, like the warm sun.

Yuhe slowly loosened the hilt of his sword, cupped his fists and said, "Yuhe."

Jiang Zuiyao smiled back and said, "My name is Jin Ning."

Qin Nanxian also said: "Nanxian, please take care of me in the future."

Yi Chen smiled warmly and nodded: "I already knew your names when I came here. Time waits for no one, let's go."

The four of them left the city together, with Yi Chen leading the way. It felt like he was walking easily, but at an extremely fast speed. Jiang Zuiyao had to walk quickly to keep up.

Until daybreak, when he walked to a wilderness, Yichen stopped and looked at a rugged road in the distance without saying a word.

Jiang Zuiyao was already breathing heavily as she walked away. Yichen glanced at her, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Are you tired? Don't worry, we have a carriage."

Jiang Zuiyao was stunned. Where could he find a carriage in this deserted place?

Before he could calm down, he heard a "whoosh" sound and Yichen disappeared in an instant. Jiang Zuiyao stood there and looked around in confusion. Yuhe pointed to the distance and said, "He is there."

Looking along Yuhe's fingers, Yichen was already standing on the treetop, looking into the distance.

The qinggong is so fast that my eyes can't keep up with it.

Yuhe said again: "This person has profound skills. Even if he walks normally, he will make mistakes with every step. It seems that the Imperial City Department has sent a master here this time."

Qin Nanxian frowned slightly and said, "It seems to be a difficult task."
