Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 976 Night Walk
Ying Baoyue stopped and turned around slowly.

She looked at the young man standing under the eaves behind her, and let out a long breath.

"Qingyuan, you scared me to death."

Ji Qingyuan walked out from the shadow of the eaves, staring at the girl in black in the courtyard, "I don't know when you will be afraid."

In terms of boldness, no one in the whole continent can surpass her.

Is he the one who is going to be scared to death?

The man's face was filled with joy and anger, Ying Baoyue raised his hand to say hello, "It's so late, you haven't slept yet?"

"Didn't you sleep too?" Ji Qingyuan's eyes fell on her arm that had just been injured during the day, "Aren't you tired enough during the day today?"

"I suddenly want to eat sticky bean buns," Ying Baoyue said with a smile, "I want to go to the west night market to buy two. An Ge and Jin Niang eat too little at night, so I plan to bring them a few."

"Really?" Ji Qingyuan asked indifferently, "It turns out that there are sticky bean buns in the palace dim sum of the Soochow Palace."

There was a moment of silence in the courtyard.

Ying Baoyue looked at the embarrassment of being exposed for no purpose at all, and tightened the belt around her side. She was dressed in bunts, looked at Ji Qingyuan and smiled, "So you heard that?"

"I overheard it when I put the bowl down," Ji Qingyuan said.

He was not the only one who heard her talking and laughing with Zhao Guang in the courtyard, but anyone would just treat that conversation as a joke.

Even Zhao Guang probably thought she was joking.

But he won't.

Because he knew she really had the guts.

The courage to visit the Soochow Palace alone at night.

Of course it was one thing to guess, but he was still taken aback when he saw the girl who really ran out the door in the middle of the night.

Mother, what kind of apprentice have you taught.

"So..." Ji Qingyuan held his forehead with a headache, "Are you really planning to go to the Soochow Palace?"

"Didn't you guess it?" Ying Baoyue said calmly, "Don't tell others, the grand court meeting was just held today, and the imperial guards in the palace are exhausted, so tonight is the best time."

"But..." Ji Qingyuan opened his mouth, a series of questions in his mind.

The Soochow Royal Palace is called Jianzhang Palace. It was built on the highest Longshou Plateau outside Ruyang City.

How would she get in by herself?

How can she not be discovered when she is a sixth grade?
What if it is discovered?
Trespassing on the royal palace is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the entire family!

Well, she doesn't seem to be afraid of being ransacked...

But the middle-level ceremony is just around the corner. As the female leader of the first-level ceremony, countless pairs of eyes in Ruyang City are staring at her. As long as she makes any mistakes, she will be forever lost, and will lose her qualifications to participate in the middle-level ceremony!

It was not easy for her to get here, and she lost everything if she was not careful.

What on earth was she going to take such a big risk to enter the palace before the mid-level ceremony?
What's more, even if she revealed her true identity, he was young but he clearly remembered that the current Soochow King Zhao Muren and her original body had revenge for taking his wife!

Bah, bah, bah, what about revenge for taking his wife, in short, there is hatred. If she is caught, the King of Soochow will never let her go.

"What exactly do you want to do when you go to the Soochow Palace?" Ji Qingyuan took a step forward, gripping the hilt of the sword at his waist. He has also started to learn swords from Ji Jiashu recently, "If there is something important, you can't wait for the middle-level ceremony to end Do you want to go later?"

At that time, if she had already obtained good grades in the middle-level ceremony, the King of Soochow would be more cautious if he wanted to deal with her.

"Qingyuan, although I can't say the reason, I must go before the middle-level ceremony." Ying Baoyue said seriously, "I'm going to get something from the Soochow Palace."

Specifically, it should be "borrowed".

That thing is too precious, if she really snatched away Zhao Muren, she would hunt and kill her for three lives...

"What?" Ji Qingyuan looked at the indisputable expression of the girl in front of him, "Is it for the middle-level ceremony?"

"Yes," Ying Baoyue nodded.

Ji Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, it was for business.

But the next moment he still clenched the hilt of his sword.

"What exactly is it?" He stared fixedly at Ying Baoyue, "I won't let you go unless you make it clear."

Although he couldn't stop him, he made up his mind that if Ying Baoyue insisted on going his own way, he would pull down his face and ask Ji Jiashu to come out and stop him.

Ying Baoyue smiled wryly, this man's stubbornness is really in line with his mother's.

Don't make it clear that she doesn't want to leave tonight.

"Okay, let me tell you," Ying Baoyue said, "it's the treasure of Soochow apart from the Juque Sword. It's called Water-Repelling Pearl."

Ji Qingyuan was not afraid of her lying, because she would never tell a lie if she didn't tell it or said it, but he was still stunned when he heard the name.

Just by the name, he knew what the water-avoiding beads were for, and he had read about its efficacy in books.

Of course, there is no exaggeration in the legend that it can open a dry road in the huge waves, and walk in the water as if walking on flat ground, but the biggest effect of wearing this thing on people is that no matter how strong the wind and waves are, they will not drown.

but……

"No," Ji Qingyuan looked deeply into Ying Baoyue's eyes, "Are you really trying to get these water-proof beads for yourself?"

Practitioners of grade six and above would not be drowned if there were no accidents.

Besides, even if all the high-level practitioners were drowned, Ji Qingyuan knew that she would be fine.

After all, it would be a joke if the family members of the Soaring Snake God and the current water magician could be drowned in water.

"You..." Ji Qingyuan looked at the girl standing in the courtyard with a calm expression, speechless.

Who is she for?
What is she defending against?
"Qingyuan, don't worry, I'm just taking precautions," Ying Baoyue smiled, "It's getting late, I'm leaving, don't tell anyone."

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door.

Ji Qingyuan took a step forward holding the sword, "Are you doing it for..."

Besides her, who is the most valuable for plotting?
"Qingyuan, don't think about asking Jiashu to come out," Ying Baoyue said with a smile without looking back, "I won't be able to leave when he comes out."

The conjecture in his heart was confirmed, and Ji Qingyuan stopped abruptly.

His heart is extremely complicated. He and Ji Jiashu are not brothers of the same father and mother, but it doesn't mean that he can see him in danger.

Sometimes he also hates the heart left to him by his biological mother.

He didn't want to lose either of her and Jiashu.

Sometimes he would hate the girl in front of him for being like his biological mother.

Husbands and wives who have vowed to each other for decades may not be able to gamble their lives for others like her.

If ordinary people do this, it can be said that they have no regrets for their fiancé.

But she...

Forget it, he didn't know what she was thinking.

"Are you really going to do this?" Ji Qingyuan asked after taking a deep breath.

"Qingyuan," Ying Baoyue looked back at him and said softly.

"I can't afford to lose another fiancé."

Ji Qingyuan's shoulder trembled slightly.

He still doesn't know how she viewed Ying Su in her previous life.

At that time, everyone thought that Shao Si Ming agreed to marry because he was interested in the power of the eldest son of the emperor, and aimed at the position of queen.

But no one expected that after Ying Su was killed, Shao Si Ming would be so furious that he would even go out of his way to destroy his hard-earned future and ask Ying Hao to pay for it.

Shao Si ordered Lin Baoyue's feelings for the eldest son of the emperor, Ying Su, to be a mystery.

Even now.

But Ji Qingyuan knew very well that she would not see Ji Jiashu in danger and ignore it.

No one can stop her tonight.

He closed his eyes and finally nodded, "You go, but you must be careful."

Ying Baoyue smiled and nodded, and the next moment her figure disappeared in the courtyard.

Ji Qingyuan watched silently for a while, then turned to leave, but found a young man standing quietly behind him.

He froze immediately.

And at this moment, Ying Baoyue, who had already stepped out of the threshold and ran to the street, also froze.

On the side of the empty street, the moonlight shines on the bronze mask.

The man in Tsing Yi leaning quietly against the wall raised his head and looked at her.

"Why don't you leave?" He said softly, "Aren't you going to the Soochow Palace?"

　what a magical night
