The next day.
Everyone packed up, put out the fire, and immediately set off.
The weather in September was getting hotter and hotter, and dust was flying everywhere along the way.
It made people feel even more irritated and depressed.
The border was like this. If it was hot, then it was hot. If it was cold, then it was cold.
That was why there were so few people here.
Ji Yunshu felt dizzy sitting in the carriage.
She probably suffered from heatstroke.
Jing Rong stuffed a pill into her mouth and let her rest on his lap.
He quickly took a wet towel and put it on her forehead.
She was very worried.
After taking the pill, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was almost dusk.
Jing Rong was not by her side.
She got out of the carriage and found that she was by a river.
From afar, she saw Jing Rong sitting on a big rock by the river, looking at the gurgling river.
He was in a trance!
And — —
Those naughty guards were actually bathing in the water!
Yes, bathing!
They were huddled together like dumplings in a pot, happy and harmonious.
Moreover, all of them were naked.
After a whole day's journey, they could finally soak in cold water to get rid of the heat. They were so happy that they wanted to dive into the water.
However, those men were like girls, scooping up water from time to time and splashing it on each other.
They made sweet noises.
The more they played, the more intense it became. In the end, they accidentally splashed water on Jing Rong.
At that moment, the whole world was silent.
A few shirtless men stood in the water in a daze, unable to come back to their senses for a while.
Jing Rong's face darkened.
He sat there like a statue.
Then, he lifted his sleeve to wipe the water off his face, and glared at them with a pair of cold eyes.
Everyone felt a chill down their spines.
They rushed to the shore, put on their clothes, and said, "Your Highness, it wasn't me."
"It wasn't me either."
"It definitely wasn't me."
"I was the furthest away from Your Highness."
…
Like kicking a ball, kicking it back and forth.
In short, I won't take the blame.
Although Jing Rong was angry, he felt that they were very cute when he saw their anxious faces.
Therefore, his anger was gone.
He only threw them a cold glance!
In the distance, Ji Yunshu had her suspicions. Did those guards really follow Jing Rong through life and death?
Are you sure they rolled over from the tip of a knife?
It was one thing for all of them to love gossiping, but why did they become so effeminate?
As a woman who often disguised herself as a man, this was absolutely intolerable.
But he couldn't help but laugh.
Suddenly —
A person appeared from the side.
The man leaned against the carriage and looked at the guards as well. He even said in a strange tone, "You're a woman. Aren't you ashamed to watch a man bathe?"
Who else could it be?
Who else could it be but Shi Ziran?
Ji Yunshu glanced at him and calmly said, "It's just my upper body. Why can't I see it?"
"Is this something a girl like you should say?"
"I'm not a man!"
Puff –
Shi Ziran felt like vomiting blood.
Ji Yunshu didn't withdraw her gaze and continued to stare at the group of sissies.
The more he looked at it, the more interesting it was.
"Dong, dong, dong …" Shi Ziran knocked on the wall of the carriage with his finger and asked, "Why don't you bathe with me?"
This problem …
She wanted to!
But judging from Shi Ziran's expression, there seemed to be a hidden meaning in his words.
She asked directly, "Tell me, did you find a good place?"
"As expected of Lord Ji. You've guessed it."
"Tell me."
Shi Ziran pointed to a patch of forest in the distance and said softly, "There's a hot spring over there. It's surrounded by big trees and it's very well hidden."
He purposely emphasized the words' very well hidden '.
Ji Yunshu's lips curled, secretly delighted.
Shi Ziran crossed his arms and raised his chin slightly. "Shouldn't you give me something in return?"
Oh!
Look at you!
Ji Yunshu asked, "Then what do you want?"
"Just paint a picture for me so that you can admire my face."
Pfft!
Shameless bastard.
Ji Yunshu smiled. "You should know that I only paint for dead people."
Ugh!
Shi Ziran's face turned green. He had forgotten about that!
He swallowed and waved his hand.
"Forget it. Just treat it as me doing you a favor."
He left after patting his butt.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but laugh. Jing Rong happened to see her snickering.
He flicked his sleeves and walked over. He glanced at Shi Ziran, who had already walked to the riverside and was throwing stones.
He asked her, "What did that fellow say to you?"
She confessed, "Ziran told me that there's a hot spring in the forest over there."
"Oh." He understood. "Then let's bathe together when it gets dark."
Wait a minute.
Bathe together?
Ji Yunshu was speechless.
Jing Rong tugged at his clothes. "I haven't washed either. Let's bathe together. What's wrong?"
"…"
The sky gradually darkened.
The two of them went to the forest and found the hot spring that Shi Ziran had mentioned.
The entire hot spring was bathed in white mist.
It was like a paradise.
She thought that Jing Rong really wanted to bathe with her.
She didn't expect —
"I'll watch here. Call me if there's anything."
"Didn't you say you wanted to bathe with me?" Ji Yunshu regretted her words the moment she asked.
Jing Rong's lips curled up. His eyes flashed with a wicked glint. "If you want to … play with me, of course that's great."
"I …"
Her face instantly blushed. Under the moonlight, it looked like a bright red apple.
It made one's mouth water. She really wanted to take a bite out of it.
Jing Rong's eyes were doting. He smiled. "Fine, I won't tease you anymore. It's not that I don't want to bathe with you. It's just that it's getting late. I'm worried that there might be wolves nearby. It'll be better if I watch from here. You can rest assured."
Phew …
She actually heaved a sigh of relief.
Jing Rong also walked to a large rock beside the hot spring. He stood guard behind it and turned his back to her.
She only took off her outer clothes and went down.
Her long hair was scattered, floating in the water.
Under the moonlight, the few whip wounds on her back could be vaguely seen.
They were inflicted by her father, one lash at a time.
It was also a constant reminder of her past.
The warm water splashed on her body, opening up all her pores. It was extremely comfortable.
She occasionally looked at the large rock. As long as she could see the back of Jing Rong's head, she felt much more at ease.
Suddenly …
A sharp knife was placed on her neck from the back.
At the same time, a hand covered her mouth.
"Ughhh …"
The person behind her firmly restrained her.
"Don't move!"
The man's magnetic and deep voice rang in her ears.
Ji Yunshu widened her eyes and looked at Jing Rong in the distance. She eagerly hoped that he would turn around to look.
Behind her, the man's face was also hidden in the dark. She raised her hand and hit Ji Yunshu's neck.
She instantly fainted.
