Chapter 167 Departing Jiangbei
Mrs. Liu asked Nanny Bai to serve Li Jing tea, Cui Yuexi came to sit next to Mrs. Liu, and leaned gently in her arms.

"Grandmother, Aunt Yang raised [-] taels of food in the capital. I thought about transporting it to Jiangbei with the Fourth Prince to help my uncle. This time the matter is too difficult. My uncle must be physically and mentally exhausted by himself.

The eldest aunt just sent someone over, saying that the food has been loaded into the car, and they are waiting for news from me to leave. "

Mrs. Liu was reluctant to hold her in her arms, "Silly boy, what is a boudoir woman doing to get involved in such dangerous things?"

Mrs. Liu just didn't want Cui Yuexi to take risks. She had already lost her daughter and son-in-law, so she didn't want her family members to be in any danger.

"Grandmother, don't worry, with the fourth prince here, I will be safe."

Cui Yuexi persisted, and Mrs. Liu sighed helplessly. She knew very well that Li Jing would go because Cui Yuexi was going to Jiangbei.

Otherwise, as his prince, how could he pass.

What's more, now that the prince's battle for the heir apparent is fierce, how many people want to express themselves in front of the emperor, and no one is willing to leave the capital.

And when Li Jing went to Jiangbei, someone would definitely stop him on the way, but he resolutely went with injuries for Cui Yuexi, and this affection moved her.

"Okay, but pay attention to safety on the road, and remember to send me a message after a while." Mrs. Liu urged.

Cui Yuexi nodded, nestling in Mrs. Liu's arms, reluctant to come out.

After leaving, she didn't know when she would come back. She was still worried about Liu Chengguang's side. She didn't want Mrs. Liu to experience the pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired one.

Duke Liu hurried back and sighed helplessly when he saw Cui Yuexi and Li Jing were there.

"Grandfather knew he couldn't stop you, so I picked a hundred people to follow you and escort you to Jiangbei."

Compared to Mrs. Liu's reluctant farewell, Duke Liu is a man after all, and when he needs to make a choice, he can always make a decisive decision.

"Thank you, grandfather." Cui Yuexi walked up to him, hugged Liu Guogong, kowtowed to Liu Guogong and his wife, and left.

When they arrived at the grain shop, Yang Juan was waiting there.

Yang Juan gave Cui Yuexi a peace talisman. "This is the peace talisman I went to the temple this morning to ask for you. Wearing it on your body will ensure your safe return."

Cui Yuexi took it. She was worried that Li Jing would dislike him, so she winked at Li Jing, then put the amulet on Li Jing's neck, and put the amulet along his collar into his inner coat.

Li Jing didn't refuse, he was very curious, other people's residences were full of intrigues, but in contrast to Liu Guogong's residence, they got along very well with the Liu family of the side branch, they helped each other, there was no way they were unfamiliar.

He envied such an atmosphere, this is the feeling of home.

"Thank you, madam." Li Jing thanked him gratefully. For him, the elders who love Cui Yuexi deserve his respect.

"The fourth prince is being polite, but it's just for auspiciousness, as long as you don't dislike it."

After Cui Yuexi hugged Yang Juan, she was reluctant to say goodbye to her.

"Auntie, I will visit you when we come back."

Yang Juan caressed her face affectionately, holding back the tears in her eyes, "Okay, it's getting late, don't wait too late, it's hard to find a post."

Cui Yuexi nodded, and then got into the carriage with Li Jing under Yang Juan's reluctant eyes.

Cui Yuexi lifted the curtain of the car and waved goodbye to Yang Juan, and did not get back into the carriage until Yang Juan was no longer in sight.

This time, Cui Yuexi asked Du Lei and Hong Xing to take care of the children at home, while she took Huanyue, Banana, Du Ruo and Du Xin to Jiangbei.

Du Xin knows how to punch and kick, and he is always prepared when he is around.

The carriage bumped all the way, and the food guards were replaced by Liu Guogong and Li Jing's people, and Li Jing's people were secretly protecting them.

The sky gradually darkened, they walked to the nearest post station, and after parking the car, Li Jing asked Xing Chuan to watch him personally, and took Cui Yuexi into the post station to rest.

When Xing Chuan came out this time, he also brought a mastiff raised in Li Jing's mansion. That dog is very fierce, and its ears are very sharp. It is difficult for ordinary experts to take advantage of it.

Xingchuan fed the mastiff well during the day, but did not give it dinner at night.

It is said that the dog should not be fed too much, because he is afraid that there will be movement at night and he will be too lazy to watch the house.

Li Jing and Cui Yuexi simply ate something, and then went back to rest.

Li Jing's room was next to Cui Yuexi, and the guards who followed Li Jing were all his secret guards.

All of them were very skillful, and they protected Cui Yuexi's room very well.

Cui Yuexi took a bath and rested comfortably on the bed, while Huanyue was still lying on the ground with the bedroll.

Thinking of Huanyue's busy service during the day, he moved inside.

"Huanyue, you are out of the house now, and you have had a hard day. You come to sleep with me. This bed is very spacious for the three of us. It is autumn and the weather is cold. You should be careful not to catch typhoid when you sleep on the floor."

This time Huanyue was not polite to her, picked up the quilt and lay beside Cui Yuexi.

The two fell asleep after a while, and the night passed peacefully.

next day
After breakfast, the group continued on their way. Because Xingchuan was on duty at night, he lay down in the carriage to rest when he saw nothing to do.

The mastiff lay beside him, one person and one dog sleeping soundly.

The group of people traveled very fast, and the distance from the capital was getting farther and farther away. Li Jing felt more and more dangerous, and made his subordinates more vigilant.

In the morning, they were resting in the woods, and Cui Yuexi looked nervously at the sound of horseshoes from afar.

Li Jing handed a chicken leg to her, "Don't worry, there are only three or five people on the other side, even if they are robbers, these few people are not worth it."

Li Jing comforted, Cui Yuexi nodded, and ate the chicken drumsticks in peace.

Seeing that Li Jing had carefully wrapped the other chicken leg in oiled paper, she asked with a frown.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Li Jing smiled indifferently, "The more you go to Jiangbei, the more nervous you are about eating. I will save this for you to satisfy your cravings. I eat everything the same."

Cui Yuexi was moved by his thoughtfulness, Li Jing didn't even eat the chicken, but picked up the hot steamed bun and ate it.

Cui Yuexi fed the chicken leg that he had eaten to his mouth, "You are injured now, and the wound will heal slowly if you don't eat it. If you don't eat it, I won't eat it either."

Li Jing looked at her delicate appearance, smiled lightly, and took a bite of the chicken leg she handed over.

"Then let's eat one, and keep the rest for you to eat slowly."

The food they brought was limited after all, Huan Yue and the others were even more reluctant to eat, thinking of keeping it for Cui Yuexi and Li Jing.

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and they came quickly. The three of them got off their horses and saluted Li Jing respectfully.

"Fourth prince, the master asked us to deliver a letter to you. They have already met with the workers of the Liu Family Grain Shop, and they have already delivered the grain to Jiangbei Road."
