Looks like it was really her.
Ji Wu Jiu’s mouth moved a little and asked “When did he arrive and when did he leave?”
“General Zhen arrived on the day we set up camp, I was the one that received him. But because he said that the reason he is here is very secret, so I did not mentioned it to anyone else. He followed me to check on the armies and two days later he left without bidding farewell”
After hearing what he said, Ji Wu Jiu understood what Ye Zhen Zhen was thinking. This woman is really clever, she already knew that someone will be chasing her soon, so she will not wait to be captured. The reason why she stopped here, was also just to get some armed weapons, and bullets.
No, that shouldn’t be it only. Ji Wu Jiu closes his eyes, with his understanding of her, for her to take such a big risk to come out, was most probably being attracted to war, and if after coming out and did not go to war, surely she will not be satisfied. So at the end, she would still end up at Liao Dong, but what she wants is for the person that was send to catch her get nothing, and after that person returns to report to Ji Wu Jiu, then only she will return here. Therefore, as long as anyone were to go to Liao Dong to wait for her to reveal herself, then sooner or later she will be captured.
Then, after leaving the army camp, where would she go?
Ji Wu Jiu was looking at a map, and guessing the place that Ye Zhen Zhen will head after leaving the army camp. This woman likes happening places, and with the tiger seal, she can enter any army camps, and any opportunities to visit army places she will definitely not let go off. So most probably she will go to a city that has army reserves….. his gaze stopped at a point on the map.
Ji Zhou.
***
The city of Ji Zhou is located on the north of the capital, all year round there are soldiers located there. After Nu Zhen tribe took over Meng Gu, Ji Zhou is facing the North Western Meng Gu and North Eastern Nu Zhen directly. It was just that these two forces are located a little far from this place, so they are not directly involved with the battlefield.
But, if this place was implicated into war, than it would mean the capital and the entire Da Qi would be in trouble.
The person in charge of Ji Zhou city is an veteran general, Xiu Xi Ming, this person is good with handling his soldiers, good at defense but not attacking, and has been at Ji Zhou for a few decades, and has been very vigilant in keeping this city safe.
Ye Zhen Zhen once again infiltrated into the army camps, and to check up on them. The way she pretended was very good, using Ji Wu Jiu’s name to properly praise Xi Xiu Ming, making this veteran general in the brim of tears, and he towards the south he kneeled and bowed three times, making Ye Zhen Zhen feel abit guilty.
Besides acting in the army camps, Ye Zhen Zhen will sometimes go out to play. She was a great spender, and generous, she also looks handsome, with mysterious relationship with the army camp… so in within three days, a General Zhen was very famous in Ji Zhou, a lot of rich and nobles also heard of her and send her invitations.
Therefore, Ye Zhen Zhen somehow or other met Li You.
Li You’s background was really mysterious. This person knows medicine and war strategies, knows how to play the zither and how to write poems, able to use the sword, as well as to use a chef’s knife. It seems like he a jack of all trades.
He adorns a white cotton robe, and appears to be like a weak scholar, but Ye Zhen Zhen has fought with him before, and knew that he is not at all weak.
His body was tall, looks… can be considered good looking.. Ye Zhen Zhen at this moment does not know how to judge a man’s looks, because she found out, being faced with Ji Wu Jiu everyday, the type of handsome-ness he have, has made the other men, no matter how good looking, became common or normal in her eyes.
But, Li You has something that Ji Wu Jiu does not have: He likes to laugh, and when he smiles it was extra gentle, making people flustered. Adding on that he is very knowledgeable, and also interested in almost anything, Ye Zhen Zhen quite like to interact with him.
Today, Li You invited Ye Zhen Zhen out, and she also accepted. Initially Li You’s intention was only for the both of them alone, but Wang You Cai was worried and with a thick face he accompanied the both of them, like a lamppost. Ye Zhen Zhen did not stop him, so Li You also did not say anything.
The north side’s spring arrived a little later, the flowers by the river side just opened recently, and the willow trees just recently sprouted some greens. Ye Zhen Zhen was standing by the river, looking at the flow. Li You was looking at her.
She was looking straight, not wearing any scarfs, her neck was smooth. Besides that, she was not wearing her armour today, although wearing men’s clothings, but her chest…. E, it was still detectable.
Finding that his thoughts are a little perverted, Li You coughed, and looked down.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Zhen Zhen asked.
Li You did not answer, but turned to look at the gun that was on her waist, and asked “The gun that you are carrying now, is it that multiple shot gun in the rumours?”
“it is” Ye Zhen Zhen took her gun down, aimed it at the sky. Her gun, although uses the same type of bullets in the army camp, but the body of the gun is smaller than those, and was more suitable to be used by woman.
Li You looked at her actions and laughed “Can you borrow it to me?”
“No”
“….”
“Do not mind please” Ye Zhen Zhen place the gun back at her waist and said “The armory stated, the multiple shot gun’s production is our Da Qi’s top secret, this weapon cannot be borrowed to others easily”
Li You smiled “I was just a little curious, If so, then it was me who was too absurd, let me first apologize to you Zhen…. Brother Zhen.”
Ye Zhen Zhen just only wanted to console him, but in the corner of her eyes , almost like seeing ghost, she shouted “Not good”, turned around and ran.
Li You felt something was weird, turned around and only saw a man leading a group of people chasing towards her scarily.
That young man was shouting while running “Zhen… Zhen Wei Meng! Stop right there!”
Ye Zhen Zhen upon hearing those words, without even turning back ran even faster. Her black and full hair was also moving along with her. Li You did not know what was happening, but could tell that this man came to look for trouble, so he tried to stop him. But didn’t know that the moment he raised his arms, a shadow has already passed by, the man is already way ahead of him.
Such speed!
Li You still wanted to chase after him and the group of people that was behind that man, has already come up and surrounded him, and not caring about the both of them who went far ahead. Li You observes the people around him, and found that they are all people with high martial skills, if they were to fight him one on one, he still have some chances to win them, but to fight them in a group…. He immediately place his hands down, and made a “I Surrender” expression.
Ye Zhen Zhen was running along the river, and has considered jumping into the river a few times, but could not really find the courage to do so. The river in this early spring should be very cold, thinking about it alone has made her shiver.
Ji Wu Jiu was getting closer.
Ye Zhen Zhen was already on the verge of crying. She didn’t know that he was able to find her in so fast, and also wouldn’t have guessed that he will personally come to get her.
Seeing that Ye Zhen Zhen was not really far from him, Ji Wu Jiu jumped up, and grabbed on to her. The both of them fell down at the river side, and rolled a few times.
