Ji Yunshu pursed her lips.
She looked at Jing Rong's serious and worried expression.
He said, "That jade tablet!"
"Jade tablet?"
'I don't understand.'
"Do you still remember that time when we were on our way from Jinjiang to the capital, we met a Huyi merchant in a run-down temple?"
Jing Rong was puzzled. He thought for a moment and nodded. "I remember."
"I helped him cut open his wife's belly to retrieve her child. At that time, he gave me a jade tablet as a token of gratitude. He said that if I went to Huyi in the future, I could use the jade tablet to find him."
"The one with the peacock carved on it and the word 'Nan' carved on it?" Ji Yunshu's expression was solemn as she recalled the scene in the ruined temple. "Just now, there was a black-clothed man who was clearly aiming his sword at me and almost took my life. But at that moment, the jade tablet fell from my sleeve. When the black-clothed man saw it, his eyes were filled with shock.
Then, he picked up the jade tablet and gave the order to retreat. "
In the end, her heart was full of doubts.
Jing Rong said, "You mean that the man in black didn't kill you because of that jade tablet?"
"I think … yes."
She paused for a moment.
But Ji Yunshu was very sure that it was the case. Jing Rong also recalled about two years ago. He said, "I remember that Huyi man was called Ke Cha. At that time, there were five peacock feathers embroidered on the shoulder of his robe. Peacocks are Huyi's spiritual birds, and those with five feathers represent Huyi nobles. If that Ke Cha wasn't a relative of the emperor, then he was definitely not an ordinary person. Therefore, the jade tablet he gave you is most likely related to his identity. If that's the case, then the group of men in black in the ruined temple should know Ke Cha. That's why they thought we were Ke Cha's men and gave the order to retreat.
Retreat! "
"Perhaps, there is another possibility." Ji Yunshu said.
Jing Rong looked at her eyes and understood what she was trying to say.
He interrupted her, "You're trying to say that the group of black-clothed men might be Kurica's men!"
Those men in black were Ke Cha's men!
Her words caused the entire matter to sink into a huge whirlpool.
Deeper and deeper.
Ji Yunshu said, "If that's the case, then this matter … is much more complicated."
What was the background of the group of people in the ruined temple?
Who was inside the sack at that time?
Why did those men in black come to save him?
Who was Kircha?
Ji Yunshu was filled with doubts.
Jing Rong held her hand and comforted her. "Don't think too much."
She took a deep breath.
He nodded.
The next moment, she realized that he hadn't taken off his wet clothes. She urged him, "Hurry up and change your clothes."
Jing Rong obeyed obediently.
He stripped his upper body in front of her.
She could clearly see the old wounds on his body.
On his arms, back, and chest!
In the past, she had never paid so much attention.
It turned out that Jing Rong had so many wounds on his body.
His eyes reddened.
Jing Rong's body froze. He lowered his gaze and quietly watched her. Ji Yunshu couldn't help but stretch out her hand. Her fingertips gently touched a scar on his arm. She said, "This scar was left behind when you blocked a sword for me at the memorial hall two years ago. At that time, the sword was stained with shiban poison. I remember that when I hugged you, your whole body was on top of mine.
You were clearly injured, but you still tried to be brave and told me that you were fine. "
Then, her fingertips slowly slid down the scar on Jing Rong's left chest.
That scar was very deep!
It was branded on his chest. "This is the wound you got when I went to Liang Mountain to look for clues to investigate the missing girls case. If I hadn't noticed the blood on your clothes, I would definitely not have told you." She touched the other wound on his chest and said, "I remember, this is the place where we went from the capital to the capital."
On the way to Yufu, I was taken to Gaoshan Village. You were shot by an arrow when you tried to save me. You almost lost your life … "
She remembered every single one of them clearly.
When her trembling fingers moved to the wound on Jing Rong's back …
Jing Rong had already pulled her into his embrace.
He hugged her tightly.
"Don't say anymore." Jing Rong buried his face deep into her neck.
Her eyes were bloodshot. Crystal clear tears rolled down her cheeks.
Finally, they fell.
Hot tears fell on Jing Rong's sturdy shoulders.
So, she remembered every single scar on his body!
And every scar on his body represented his love for her.
The two of them hugged each other tightly.
Outside.
The fire in the ruined temple in the distance illuminated the dark sky with a fiery red.
It flashed in the hazy rain.
… …
Not long after, the rain stopped.
The mountains were clear and bright.
The sky was about to brighten.
In the middle of a bamboo forest stood a group of black-clothed men. They held torches in their hands and stood in front of them. In front of them were two sacks filled with people.
The leader ordered, "Open it!"
The two black-robed men beside him immediately untied the sack.
There were indeed people inside.
Two men.
One was about forty-five years old.
The other was about twelve years old.
Both their hands and feet were tied with ropes. They couldn't move. Their eyes were covered with black cloth and their mouths were stuffed with cloth.
"Mmmmm …"
They didn't know where they were now.
They didn't know who they were facing.
And the fear of not having light made the twelve-year-old child start to struggle.
"Mmmmm …" Sounds of fear came from his mouth.
The men in black tore off the cloth covering their eyes and mouths.
Facing the torches around them, the two instinctively looked away when the light pierced them.
It took them a while to get used to it.
When the boy saw the men in black next to him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in fear. He shrunk his feet and grabbed the clothes of the man next to him. He said in fear, "Father!"
That sound seemed to startle the birds in the bamboo forest.
And the middle-aged man who was called "father" by the boy didn't have the slightest fear on his face and eyes.
Although he was in a sorry state, it could still be seen that he was tough.
He must not be an ordinary person!
The middle-aged man slowly stood up and pulled his son up.
The boy shrank behind him.
"Father, I'm scared."
His whole body was trembling.
"Don't be afraid!" The middle-aged man grabbed the boy's hand and then asked the men in black around him, "Who are you people?"
His voice was calm!
The leader of the men in black stepped forward and said, "Lord Chen, it's me."
Uh!
The middle-aged man was surprised.
He glanced at the men in black one by one.
He frowned and asked, "You?"
The man in black tore off the black cloth on his face.
Revealing a cold, hard, and solemn face.
