Chapter 183 Departing from Nijia Country

The moonlight illuminated the path, and Han Xiujin hummed a ditty all the way, feeling quite complacent.

"Cough cough."

Outside the Gu family's courtyard, the moonlight pulled a long figure quietly hiding in the dark.

"Hey! Who is it!" Han Xiujin didn't notice, and when he heard the noise, he backed up a few steps with an exclamation, and looked vigilantly at the back of the fenced courtyard, his face full of horror.

"Looks like it was stolen elsewhere."

Gu Jingyao's deep and pleasant voice came from the dark place, with his hands clasped around his chest, his tone teasing.

On weekdays, he would always come to have a meal, but today he was nowhere to be seen. Yue'er even went to his house in person but did not find anyone.

"Gu Jingyao! It's okay to pretend to be a ghost and scare people! Do you know that people scare people to death!" Han Xiujin was a little annoyed, stood up straight, pretended to be calm and straightened his clothes, and opened his mouth in relief.

"I'm just standing here, don't you have a ghost in your heart?" Gu Jingyao raised his eyebrows and said lightly.

Han Xiujin swallowed his saliva, and opened his mouth to explain, "What's wrong with you! It's just that Miss Luo invited me to have a light meal at home to thank you for your help."

"Miss Luo, eat? That's how it is."

Gu Jingyao spoke casually and kept nodding, with obvious teasing in his tone.

"Cough cough, in short, it's innocent, tell me, you're not just asking me where I'm going today, are you stuck here at night?"

Han Xiujin narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the tall man.

"Monkey is back, bringing back the news of Ni Jiaguo." Gu Jingyao nodded without hiding anything.

"Ni Jia Country? Is it a small country in the south?" Speaking of business, Han Xiujin's expression also became serious, and he spoke thoughtfully while touching his chin.

"Yeah." Gu Jingyao nodded.

"But isn't the Ni Jia country never in contact with the outside world?" Han Xiujin spread his palms, even if Meng Qi brought back the news, so what, they will not attack the Ni Jia country, let alone the lack of soldiers and horses, the invasion and expansion, and the people's livelihood. It's not what they want to see.

"Monkey has been secretly paying attention to Nijia country. There was a plague in the country a few days ago. The lord of the country had no choice but to open the city gate and send people out to find medicine. Mengqi just had the medicine that Li'er had prepared in his hand. He turned into a wandering doctor and saved a person's life. Life, the lord of the country treats each other with courtesy and asks him to help."

Gu Jingyao pursed his lips, and spoke in a straightforward manner.

"Then you want Madam to go to the country of Ni Jia, so as to obtain the opportunity to trade with the country of Ni Jia?" Han Xiujin frowned and said so.

Gu Jingyao shook his head, "Li'er is about to give birth, so it's not suitable to go there, and even though Nani Jia Country is a small border country, it is also full of dangers, I can't let her put herself in danger."

Han Xiujin nodded in agreement when he heard the words, Qiu Yeli's belly is already terribly big, he is always worried that the child will be born, Gu Jingyao loves his wife madly, so naturally he will not let her go to Ni Jiaguo, but this opportunity is really rare
"Wait, you don't want me to go, do you? I don't know anything about medicine, how can I cure that disease!"

Han Xiujin suddenly widened his eyes as he thought about it, and waved his hand at him, with rejection written all over his body.

Gu Jingyao said coolly, "Of course I know you don't know medical skills, but you must go to Ni Jia Country this time."

"Why!" Han Xiujin's expression turned pale, and he complained incomprehensibly, he still wanted to eat dinner made by Xuan'er every day.
Gu Jingyao raised his head slightly, with a tall and straight posture, ignoring the resentment on his face, and calmly analyzed, "Although the Ni Jia Kingdom is not as prosperous as the Li Dynasty and not as vast as Xianbei, it has a superior geographical location and abundant supplies. If we get help from him, it will naturally be of no benefit to us One harm, your prestige in Mozhou is second only to mine, in order to show our sincerity, it is most appropriate for you to go."

"Ok."

Han Xiujin thought for a while, and nodded happily, agreeing that they were forced to leave the Li Dynasty and come to this desolate place in order to try their best to go straight to the capital one day and get back what they lost.

"Don't worry, Lord, I will live up to expectations and get the help of King Ni Jia." Han Xiujin looked serious, bowed his head and bowed his hands in salute. Under the night, the man's profile was determined.

Gu Jingyao nodded in satisfaction, "I will leave in three days, and then I will let Xiao Xiao go with you. Her medical skills were taught by Li'er herself, so there is no need to worry."

"Yes!" Han Xiujin nodded.

——In the early morning three days later, outside the Gu family's house, there was a little girl in a long white dress and a light blue cloak coat.

Qiu Yeli stood in front of the carriage, motioned to Madam Wang to put the medicine box and the things needed on the road on the carriage, looked at her with concern and said, "Xiao Xiao, the danger of this trip is unknown, you must pay attention to your own safety , if the epidemic is difficult to get rid of, there is no need to be brave, or else don’t go.”

Qiu Yeli was really worried, and pulled her arm with anxiety, unwilling to let go.

She naturally has selfishness. Although the people of Ni Jia Kingdom are pitiful, they have no feelings because they are not relatives, but Xiaoxiao has been with her for so long, just like her own daughter and sister.
"Madam, don't worry, Xiaoxiao will definitely take good care of herself. The general and madam treat Xiaoxiao so well. It is a small honor to be able to serve Madam as an envoy to Ni Jiaguo."

She took her hand back and smiled.

"Ma'am, don't worry. With Mr. Han here, I will definitely protect the little girl!" Han Xiujin came from a distance, dressed in a dark blue robe, with a jade pendant around his waist, looking at Qiu Yeli with a smile, In a trance, he is still the high-spirited Mr. Han in the capital city.

Gu Jingyao also gently embraced her shoulder, silently comforting her.

"Master Han, it's getting late, it's time to go." The man in black driving the carriage said in a low voice. This man is also Gu Jingyao's secret guard. Although Meng Qi is in Ni Jiaguo to support him, he is still a little worried about their safety.

"Okay, let's go!"

Han Xiujin heard the words, turned his eyes away and spoke in a steady voice. It seems that he will not be able to wait for that person today.

Xiao Xiao got into the carriage, Han Xiujin also took the reins and was about to get on the horse, but was attracted by a charming voice.

"and many more!"

Luo Xuan'er trotted all the way, regardless of the fact that her hair was disheveled by the wind and her face was flushed from running, she finally caught up.

"Xuan'er, why are you here?" Han Xiujin was slightly taken aback, the corners of his mouth raised high, indicating that the master was in a good mood at the moment.

"I'm here to see you off. Although I don't know where the small country is, please take care of yourself. This is the amulet that Xuan'er has worn since she was a child. Now I give it to you."

Luo Xuan'er took out a small light purple necklace purse from her bosom, and handed it to Han Xiujin.

"This..." Han Xiujin was stunned for a moment. Feeling the object that still had the girl's body temperature suddenly felt a little hot, his face flushed slightly, "No, since it's an amulet, how can I take it!"

As Han Xiujin said that, he wanted to send the things back.

"Master Han, just accept it, just take it as Xuan'er's wish." Luo Xuan'er looked serious.

Qiu Yeli looked at the interaction between the two of them back and forth, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
