Chapter 194: 194 has been criticized repeatedly and has repeatedly insisted on seeking criticism Chapter 194: 194 has been criticized repeatedly and has repeatedly insisted on seeking criticism “My lord, this vest can actually defend against long swords; it’s truly a divine item. You should wear it right away.” Si Bei respectfully handed over the vest.
He had seen Miss Ye Jiu personally hand this bundle to his master, and although it was very strange along the way, where all her sleeping drugs, wound medicines, and antidotes came from, Si Bei understood that whatever Ye Jiu had, at least for now, it was beneficial to their side.
Just like now, this vest, if taken out, would definitely be a desired choice by everyone.
After all, who wouldn’t want a life-saving weapon?
Yet, Ye Jiu, without hesitation, had taken it out and given it to his master, and Si Bei’s impression of Ye Jiu had risen several levels at once.
After receiving the vest, Sikong Mo did not forget to instruct, “Regarding Ye Jiu’s secrets, do not speak of them.”
“Yes.” Si Bei answered without hesitation.
On the other hand, Ye Jiu was not sleeping either.
Not long after Sikong Mo and Si Bei had left, they were also ready to set off.
Before departing, Ye Jiu gestured to Si Rong, then a guard carried General Hu Wei, who was still unconscious, away, and when he returned, it was only him.
Ye Jiu did not believe they would kindly release General Hu Wei; perhaps having witnessed too much bloodshed along the way, at this moment, Ye Jiu could only lament that human life was cheap in ancient times.
When mounting the horse, Si Rong bowed to Ye Jiu, “For the upcoming journey, it is inconvenient for Miss Ye Jiu to share a ride with me.”
Ye Jiu smiled, feeling fortunate that someone was willing to accommodate her burden, and it wasn’t her place to be picky!
Previously, she only felt that these people took good care of her because she was younger.
But upon comparing their attitudes to that of Ying Luoxue, Ye Jiu could easily discern that their politeness towards her was mainly because of Sikong Mo!
Unfortunately, they had different paths and could not plan together.
All she wanted was to quietly make a fortune and be a wealthy girl; these nobles were not something she could afford to involve herself with.
Moreover, Ye Jiu had no plans to marry in this world since she still remembered her past life. She truly could not accept, nor did she plan to accept, this world’s men having multiple wives and concubines.
But now, she had to rely on Sikong Mo again, otherwise, not knowing how to ride a horse, she would have to stay here and become prey for the wild beasts!
Looking at Si Rong, just as Ye Jiu was about to thank him, Prince Jing came over, grabbed her arm, and said, “Men and women should not touch hands; you’re not too young anymore, what would it look like sitting in a man’s lap? How about this, the prince will kindly offer you a ride, no need to thank me too much.”
Prince Jing had wanted to do this for a while, but as a captive rescued by others, facing Sikong Mo, he really didn’t have the courage to speak these words.
However, his facing Sikong Mo with a guilty conscience didn’t mean he felt the same in front of others.
Si Rong was highly regarded in Sikong Mo’s presence, but, after all, he couldn’t escape the fact that he was just a guard.
So, facing him, Prince Jing felt no pressure whatsoever.
Watching such an arrogant Prince Jing, Ye Jiu couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “You talk like you’re not a man yourself!”
Si Rong chuckled silently, shrugging his shoulders and turning aside.
Along the way, he had come to understand that Prince Jing, a noble of the highest order, actually liked being rebuffed by a maiden, and despite being repeatedly rebuffed, still stubbornly sought it.
