The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter Part 2

☆ Chapter 202 Protection

On the morning of the next day, Ji Heng planned to set off.

Wen Renyao had the most luggage, Lu Ji and Jiang Li had nothing, not to mention Lin Yao.

The carriage was sent by General Wuwei. Knowing that Ji Heng was in Huangzhou, he specially found a large carriage and asked if they needed soldiers to protect their safety along the way. Lu Ji politely declined.

The carriage was very spacious. Jiang Li and Wen Renyao were sitting inside. Wen Renyao was holding Lin Yao. Lu Ji and Ji Heng were outside. Not sure what they said to General Wuwei. When Wen Renyao lifted the carriage curtain, General Wuwei looked into the carriage curiously. 

He probably knew that there was a woman in the carriage, but he didn't know her identity or her relationship with Ji Heng. He was just curious.

Wen Renyao lowered the carriage curtain. Soon Ji Heng and Lu Ji also got on the carriage. Zhao Ke and Wen Ji were the drivers. The carriage went out of Huangzhou City.

After Wen Renyao coaxed Lin Yao to sleep, he lifted the carriage curtain and Jiang Li also looked outside. She remembered when she first arrived in Huangzhou City, the outside of the city was lively and clean, and there were many people entering and leaving the city. 

Now there is no one, and even the land seems to have turned charred black. The ground was full of scattered arrows and swords, as well as human bodies, piled up randomly. It was unclear whether they were from the city defence army or King Cheng's men.

The bloody smell lingered for a long time, and the air was filled with a palpitating smell. Through these things in front of them, she seemed to be able to see the tragic night attack by King Cheng's troops that night. Although Huangzhou City was finally defended, it was by no means easy.

The atmosphere became a little heavy, and Wen Renyao put down the carriage, as if he wanted to find a happier topic, looked at Jiang Li, and said to Jiang Li: "Hey? Miss Jiang Er, your face seems to be much better."

Jiang Li reached out and touched her face, saying: "It seems so."

The red spots on her face gradually dissipated after such a long time of the medicine that the man and woman gave her. In addition to looking closely, there are still faint red marks, but looking from a distance, it is not a big deal and can hardly be seen.

Ji Heng heard this and also looked at Jiang Li. He smiled, but Jiang Li looked quite uncomfortable. He sat opposite Jiang Li, as if he knew everything. Jiang Li avoided his gaze and lowered her head as if she didn't care.

"That's great," Wen Renyao said with a beaming smile, "Seeing the second young lady return to her former beauty, I am really happy for her in my heart."

If such glib words were spoken by other men, perhaps he would be called a lecher. But after spending a long time with Wen Renyao, she knows that this man is just a chatterbox, and he doesn't know how to control his mouth, but he is not a bad person. Jiang Li could only laugh and cry.

"However," Wen Renyao looked outside again and said, "We shouldn't encounter King Cheng's troops along the way, right?"

Jiang Li asked, "Didn't they leave?"

"They may not be walking together. Maybe they will meet scattered soldiers or something like that." Lu Ji said, "Zhao Ke and Wen Ji took a small road. The possibility of meeting them is not high."

"Whatever," Wen Renyao said, "You asked me to follow you. You have to be responsible for my safety... and the safety of Miss Jiang Er, right?"

Lu Ji rolled his eyes at him, "Got it."
