Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2537 Running-in
When he first received the secret letter, Ji Jiashu had no idea who this Princess Pingyang was.

It was not until Gui Chen's face changed drastically when he saw the secret letter that Ji Jiashu was shocked to learn that this unfamiliar title actually belonged to Gui Chen's mother.

"It's normal that you don't know," Ying Baoyue looked out the window, "That happened before you were born."

That happened in her previous life when she was thirteen years old, and she was canonized together with the fifteen-year-old Mu Rongyin.

Emperor Taizu only conferred titles on two princesses in his lifetime, and the first one was Mu Rongyin. When the family of General Jin Cheng was exterminated, Emperor Ying ordered to confer the title of Princess Pingyang to Mu You's 15-year-old daughter in order to appease the remaining old ministers. On the second day after the decree was issued, the border sent a victory report, and the battle of Zhaoyang was won. Emperor Ying made a stroke of his pen and conferred the title of Princess Zhaoyang on her together with Mu Rongyin.

As the first princess of the Qin Dynasty, Mu Rongyin should have enjoyed great glory. However, in the eyes of the world, compared with Princess Zhaoyang who had made many military achievements at a young age, Princess Pingyang's life was much more mediocre. She got married, had children, entered the harem, and was gradually forgotten by people.

The title "Pingyang" gradually became less known.

There are probably not many people in Former Qin today who still remember this title, let alone know who this princess is.

At this moment, someone suddenly mentioned this title from more than ten years ago. Ying Baoyue felt that it was both absurd and destined.

It was as if a scar that belonged to many people many years ago was finally peeled off.

"So Guichen took his mother to the Evernight Great Wall after receiving the letter?"

Ying Baoyue clenched his fists tightly, as if suppressing some kind of anger, "Who allowed him to do that?"

If Yun Zhongjun could launch a surprise attack on the border once, he could launch an attack a second time. Bringing Mu Rongyin to Shanhaiguan at this time was like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Ji Jiashu looked solemn, he also felt that this decision was inappropriate. But Ying Baoyue was not there yesterday, and the pigeons could not pass the message so quickly. In an emergency, he had to discuss this matter with Mu You and Gui Chen.

He and Gui Chen were both still young, and this matter involved blood relatives, so both of them were a little at a loss.

In the end, it was Mu You who made the decision.

"General Mu made the decision, and finally asked Madam Mu for her opinion," Ji Jiashu took a deep breath, "Gui Chen told Madam Mu the whole story, including Yun Zhongjun's proposal to exchange her for my brother."

Ying Baoyue's eyelashes trembled. "What did she say?"

Ji Jiashu couldn't help but remain silent.

He seldom dealt with women of this age. Gui Chen's mother was about the same age as his mother, and his mother was like that. Ji Jiashu thought that Mu Rongyin would feel panic and fear when she first heard about this.

But they didn't expect that after listening to them, the kind-looking woman was just stunned for a moment, raised her head and asked, "Who is Yun Zhongjun? Is he someone I have seen before?"

Gui Chen lowered his head to explain to her. When Mu Rongyin heard that it was the middle-aged man who fought against Li Ji on the high platform that day, her face changed.

She thought for a while and looked up at her son.

"Chen'er, take me to the border. I want to visit Xirong."

"mother?"

Ji Jiashu, who was standing aside at the time, could hear the shock in Gui Chen's tone. He did not expect that this woman in a secluded house would be so courageous.

For ordinary people, the north of the Great Wall is a den of dragons and tigers. Mu Rongyin, who has no realm and has never been far away, wants her son to take her to Xirong.

"Gui Chen actually didn't agree, but Madam Mu insisted on going," Ji Jiashu sighed, "Gui Chen planned to take her to Shanhaiguan first, and then make plans after we get there. Anyway, by that time..."

Ji Jiashu glanced at Ying Baoyue. He and Mu You estimated that by then Ying Baoyue would have caught up from behind, and she would probably have another solution.

Ying Baoyue came back even faster than they imagined.

"If you go after them now, you should be able to catch up with Gui Chen and the others," Ji Jiashu looked at Ying Baoyue and gritted his teeth before speaking, "Do you want to bring Madam Mu back?"

Ying Baoyue was startled, looked up at the bloodshot in Ji Jiashu's eyes, and felt sad.

"Are you ok?"

She understood what Ji Jiashu meant. He didn't mean to leave his brother to die. But he couldn't sacrifice Guichen's mother's life to save his brother. This young man was kind to the core.

"Since Mu Rongyin has decided to go, let her go. However, exchanging hostages is not an option," Ying Baoyue's eyes became sharp. "I don't think Yun Zhongjun will agree to the exchange."

Kidnapping Ji Qingyuan was just Yun Zhongjun's way of forcing them to bring Mu Rongyin. If he didn't do that, Mu Rongyin, as a woman in a deep house, would probably never appear on the battlefield.

But even if they really handed over Mu Rongyin, Yun Zhongjun might not return Ji Qingyuan.

Even if he comes back... he may not be the original Ji Qingyuan.

"I shouldn't have left him at the border."

Ying Baoyue spoke in a low voice.

She dug her fingertips into her palm and felt the piercing pain.

She felt breathless when she thought about the methods that Yun Zhongjun might use on Ji Qingyuan.

"Hug the moon?"

Looking at Ying Baoyue's appearance, Ji Jiashu panicked, "Don't blame yourself, this matter..."

"You want to blame yourself. There are so many things to blame yourself for. What's the point?"

A cold voice floated over from the side, "Why don't you think about how to rescue them."

Ji Jiashu frowned and looked at the man in blue sitting in the back of the carriage.

Ying Baoyue seemed to have gotten used to the other party's attitude and said without looking back, "I know."

What the Azure Dragon God said was right. It would be better to say that the Azure Dragon God did not add insult to injury and accused her of not killing Chunyu Yeyedi at that time, which led to Yun Zhongjun's escape back to Xirong. This was already polite enough.

Ying Baoyue took a deep breath, took out a map from the secret compartment under the carriage, and began to plan the route to Xirong.

Now she doesn't have to go back to Afang Palace at all.

Fortunately, she was already "leading the army in person" outside, so she didn't even need to make up an excuse.

Ji Jiashu endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help but speak, "Don't talk to her like this with Li Ji's face, she will be sad."

The Azure Dragon God, who had been sitting in the depths of the carriage with his eyes closed, acting like a statue, opened his eyes and looked at Ji Jiashu with some surprise.

Ying Baoyue was also a little surprised, "Jia Shu?"

"I'm sorry, I said too much." Ji Jiashu also understood Murong Feilan's original mood at this time and sighed, "But I really can't stand it anymore."

Watching these two people torturing each other was really unbearable even for bystanders.

When Ying Baoyue was about to put the knife to Chun Yuye's neck and couldn't bring herself to do it, it was Li Ji who first stepped forward to stop her. No one understood her difficulties at the time, except Li Ji, who would rather take the blame on himself than let Ying Baoyue feel sad.

To be honest, Ji Jiashu is convinced by Li Ji, his "rival in love".

Although Li Ji looks cold, he has been protecting Ying Baoyue meticulously, both physically and mentally, and he is reluctant to let her suffer any grievances.

Li Ji was able to notice many things that he didn't realize at the first moment.

But the Azure Dragon God is different.

Ji Jiashu finally realized what Ying Baoyue was going through.

Watching the lover who understood me the most and was the most gentle to me turn into a cold god, it turns out that they are still the same person in essence.

No matter whether it is Baoyue, Jiashu or Qinglongshen, no one has done anything wrong. Don't rush to blame them. This is a process of adjustment and things will get better.
