Under the cool night breeze, she carried Jing Rong's sturdy chest. Because the wind was too cold, she burrowed deeper into his embrace.
Jing Rong seemed to subconsciously hold her tighter.
It was as if they had returned to the time when they were still in Houliao. Before she could learn how to ride a horse, she was tightly held by Jing Rong as they galloped across the vast grassland.
Wen Mansion
The Great General's Residence was indeed different. It was fine during the day, but at night, there would be many soldiers patrolling the residence. The security was very tight, and ordinary people would not be able to enter. Even if they did, they might not be able to break out.
Jing Rong carried her slender body and easily entered, perfectly avoiding the soldiers. Finally, he brought her to a courtyard in the West Court. The door to the courtyard was open, and it was quiet inside. There was no one guarding it. Perhaps everyone had gone to bed at this late hour. However, the main house was still lit, so the people inside should still be awake.
They hid behind the door.
Ji Yunshu asked, "Where is this?"
"This is Wen Cong's residence. The house is still lit, so he should still be awake. You can go in."
'Huh?'
Ji Yunshu was puzzled. "How did you know Wen Cong is here?"
"There's nothing I don't know about the layout of the Wen Mansion."
He followed Su Ziluo's order to take the lives of the Wen family members, so he naturally knew the layout.
Ji Yunshu didn't continue asking. She looked around, worried that the soldiers would come. "You should go first. If you are discovered, it will be difficult to escape. I will find a way to leave by myself."
Jing Rong didn't say anything and only grunted. Then, with a leap, he disappeared into the darkness.
Just like a gust of wind!
He came and went without a trace!
She had to admit that Jing Rong's martial arts had improved a lot in the past three years.
She withdrew her gaze from the darkness and looked around. Then, she walked to the door of the main house and knocked a few times.
"Who is it?"
"This humble one, Ji Yunshu, is here to pay a visit."
There was no sound from the other side of the door. It was completely silent until a shadow approached. Only then did the door open.
When Wen Cong saw her, he was shocked. Not to mention that she suddenly left Ning 'an Villa, but now, she suddenly appeared. Moreover, the moon was already in the sky. She came at such a late hour, so he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Miss Ji?"
Ji Yunshu had always been polite to her seniors, so she didn't want to beat around the bush. She said directly, "I shouldn't have bothered you so late at night, but I have a favor to ask, so I had no choice but to come."
Why did it take so long to ask for his help?
Wen Cong invited her into the room to sit down and poured a cup of tea. "Have some tea to warm yourself up."
"Thank you."
On the way here, his body was really cold, and his bones were constantly trembling. After drinking a cup of hot tea, his whole body felt much more comfortable, and his body also warmed up.
Wen Cong didn't ask what she wanted, but asked, "Miss Ji, where have you been these days?"
She said, "I had something to do, so I left first. I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to inform you."
"I see!"
"To tell you the truth, I'm here for Miss Huazheng. Do you know her?"
How could he not know her?
At that time, the entire Yan Jing City was in a sensation because of her!
How could he not know her?
Huazheng was the most beautiful woman in Yan Jing City. Many men did not hesitate to spend tens of thousands of their family's wealth to win her heart. There were even countless men who fought for her. In those two years, she almost enjoyed the glory that no other woman had. She was the only one in the limelight. Such a woman should have continued to occupy the attention of all men in Yan Jing City, but a year ago, for some unknown reason, her fame declined and she gradually faded from people's eyes. Nowadays, almost no one mentions her anymore!
Even when the number one beauty in Yan Jing City was mentioned again, people seemed to forget about Huazheng!
Wen Cong said, "I know, but why do you ask?"
Ji Yunshu said, "I don't know what illness Miss Huazheng contracted. She suddenly fell ill a year ago and hasn't woken up since. She relies on medicine every day and has seen almost all the doctors, but she still hasn't recovered. She has been in a coma for a year now, and I don't know how long she can hold on like this."
"No wonder we haven't heard much about her in the past year." Wen Cong was a little surprised, but he suddenly understood.
Ji Yunshu continued, "That's why I came here so late at night to ask Divine Physician Wen for help."
When Wen Cong heard this, he paused for a moment and frowned, "Who is Miss Huazheng to you?"
"She's not a special person. We just met by chance."
"Since we met by chance, why are you asking me for help?"
"I know this is a little difficult for you, and I also know that you don't save everyone. But since I'm here, I naturally have to ask for your help."
Wen Cong smiled. He picked up the cup of tea beside him and took a sip. "Are you so sure that I'll agree to it?"
If she wasn't 100% sure, she wouldn't have come!
"You promised Young Master Wen that you will cure my cold illness. Then, consider it a deal. If you save Miss Huazheng, I don't need you to cure my cold illness."
"Interesting!" Wen Cong smiled again, and his eyes fell on Ji Yunshu with interest, "In the past few decades, no one has made a deal with me like this. You are the first!"
"Then, do you agree or not?"
"Yes, of course I agree!" Wen Cong was very straightforward.
Ji Yunshu wasn't surprised at all. A strange person like Wen Cong didn't like to play his cards according to common sense, so his way of dealing with things was very unique. Ji Yunshu had to prescribe the right medicine to suit his appetite, and it turned out that this medicine was very effective.
"Then, I'll have to trouble Divine Physician Wen to make a trip to Jadeite Pavilion tomorrow."
Wen Cong said, "Don't worry. Since I've agreed, I will definitely use my life's knowledge to save people."
"Many thanks."
"But …" Wen Cong paused, and his eyes darkened slightly. He asked, "Is it worth it? I have to remind you that the cold illness in your body has already dispersed. Although it won't take your life, it will make you wish you were dead. I can give you another chance, do you still want to make this choice? "
"If I didn't think it through, I naturally wouldn't have come."
"Alright, it's your choice. I'll agree."
Ji Yunshu stood up and bowed. "I'll have to trouble Divine Physician Wen. It's getting late, so I won't disturb you any longer."
Wen Cong didn't urge her to stay, nor did he ask any more questions. He only said, "You can leave from the back door on the left. There's no one guarding there, and no one will come here."
"Divine Physician Wen, please don't tell Young Master Wen that I came to see you. Just let them think that I left."
The reason why she came at night was to avoid Wen Che and Wen Yu!
Wen Cong understood, "You can rest assured."
"Then, I'll take my leave."
"I won't see you out!"
Ji Yunshu smiled and turned to leave.
From the beginning to the end, Wen Cong didn't ask any questions. He probably felt that the more he asked, the more secrets he would have in his heart. So, he simply didn't ask anything and ended it once and for all.
Ji Yunshu followed his instructions and left through the unguarded side door, but she didn't expect him to be waiting outside.
He stood in the darkness with his arms crossed over his chest, holding a long sword. His expression was cold and gloomy.
"Didn't you leave already?" Ji Yunshu's tone carried a hint of happiness.
Jing Rong glanced at her and said, "Are you going to walk back?"
Ah!
Awkward!
Ji Yunshu was speechless.
"Let's go!" Jing Rong prepared to mount his horse.
However, Ji Yunshu suddenly pulled his sleeve.
"What's wrong?"
"Let's walk. It's too cold to ride a horse. We can ride back when we're tired." She said.
Jing Rong thought for a moment. It seemed like he was born to not reject her. Thus, he led the horse forward.
Ji Yunshu followed closely beside him.
Under the darkness of the night, there were only the two of them on the long and quiet road. Only the lanterns outside the two rows of shops were illuminating the road.
Ji Yunshu looked at him and asked, "Don't you want to ask if Wen Cong has agreed to it?"
Jing Rong coldly said, "Since you've chosen to do it, you naturally have confidence."
"As expected, the one who understands me the most is still you."
He chose to remain silent.
Ji Yunshu breathed in the cool air and suddenly sighed, "I really want to stay with you like this. Even if there's nothing, no matter what lies ahead, as long as we're together, everything will be fine."
