Chapter 1 Life in Exile(1/2)

"Shh!" Ji Youyou, who was leaning on the cabinet door and struggling to look out, turned around and saw her younger brother Ji Yuan's beady black eyes staring at her. She immediately raised her middle finger to her mouth.

Xiao Jiyuan, who had just woken up, immediately fell silent when he saw his sister's actions.

It has been nearly half a year since they escaped from the capital. A half-year-old child dragged a six-year-old toddler along the way. They encountered countless difficulties and dangers along the way. The two were forced to grow up and rely on each other, cultivating incomparable friendships.

tacit understanding.

At the moment, the two of them are hiding in a cabinet in an abandoned house. The space is small and there is a musty smell of no one living there.

Ji Yuan raised his head and looked at the surrounding environment. It was pitch black, with only a glimmer of light coming through. The tiger-headed Ji Yuan was not afraid at all. He felt at ease following his sister.

Young Master Ji, the little bully who was still quarreling with heaven and earth half a year ago.

Because of his naughty nature, he often goes up trees to dig out bird's nests and shoots monkeys on the mountain with his slingshot.

Within three miles, not a blade of grass grows.

At this time, he was squatting in the cabinet obediently.

He is not afraid of anyone, even his deceased parents cannot control his temper, but he is a sister-controller.

My fair and round little face has been exposed to wind and rain after half a year of wandering.

It’s no better than the old life of fine clothing, fine food, and hordes of servants.

Now he looks dark and thin, and the clothes he brought from Ji Mansion are already a bit short.

At this moment, Ji Yuan's eyes revealed a bit of vulnerability and dependence.

Ji Youyou looked a little sad and thought about replenishing his health after going out.

After alertly listening to the noise outside for a while, the shouts outside gradually weakened, and Ji Youyou's expression softened slightly.

He turned around and whispered: "Xiao Yuan'er, we are hiding in a cabinet now. There are many bad people outside and it is very dangerous. We will find a way to escape later."

Even in this situation, Ji Youyou still patiently expressed her words in a language that children can understand.

"Listen to sister." Ji Yuanben's childish face gradually became more sensible after six months of experience.

Who would have thought that the embarrassed two people hiding in the cupboard were Ji Youyou, the eldest daughter of the Yaobang Guoji Mansion, and Ji Yuan, the second young master, who came from a family of generals.

Before the news came that the elders of Ji's family were killed in the war, Ji Youyou and his younger brother were still living leisurely in the government office.

Ji Youyou is the eldest daughter of "Mighty General" Ji Xue.

Nowadays, as soon as I get my haircut, I encounter a huge change in my family.

She was originally a "talented girl" who was famous all over the country, but she suddenly became a homeless orphan.

Wandering around with my younger brother Ji Yuan.

Not only that, but he was also faced with double betrayal by his fiancé and his best friend. How could this situation be so miserable?

The fiancé who told her that they would be together for the rest of their lives, the close friend who used to play around and have fun together, has actually been secretly with Chen Cang for a long time. It's so sad!

She only felt that everything in the past seemed like a dream. The love of her parents, the tolerance of her fiancé, and the love of her friends had all left her.

She always thought that she was God's favorite, and that Lu Ze was a good man worthy of being entrusted with life, so she gave all her sincerity to him without reservation, but she didn't expect to get such a result.

Such a situation is enough to crush an adult.

But Ji Youyou is different. He has no way to ask for help, after suffering such a blow.

She just returned to the inn and locked herself in the inn for a long time.

When I opened the door again, my eyes were red.

Then I began to intensively plan the trip to take my brother to Gezhou.

Before leaving, her father gave her a jade pendant and asked her to keep it well. If something happened, he would go to Gezhou to seek refuge with his close friend, Grand Sima Wu Ke. After saying this, he led the troops to the frontier fortress.

Ji Youyou thought about his father's words and prepared to take his younger brother to leave the capital of Bangyao Kingdom and go to the place his father said before making plans.

The next day, the two of them had completed their disguises and got on the carriage leaving the city.

It is truly astonishing that a lady who has never traveled far has such resolute action.

Ever since she was a child, her father's personal attendant, Uncle Forbes, said that she was calm and uncharacteristic of a child.

Her parents have been away from home for several months, but she neither cries nor makes trouble.

I get up before midnight every day to practice and study. I always come first in school inspections, even with swords and sticks.

He has arranged his work and life so well that even his father, who rarely praises others, said: A tiger father has no dog daughter.

Later, when she had a younger brother, she took care of him with all her heart, so that her parents never had to worry about anything.

Ji Youyou took his younger brother to Gezhou along the planned route.

During this period, there was not much left in the "buyout money" given by the Lu family.

In order to save money, she often disguised herself as a man and helped people with odd jobs in the inn. Firstly, she could take care of her younger brother nearby, and secondly, her identity would not be easily discovered.

Although she was homeless, she used her young shoulders to support her six-year-old brother.

Although the cabinet is small, the siblings cling to each other, adding a bit of warmth to this dangerous moment.

"Brother, please put away the bamboo thorns." Ji Youyou said with concern.

"Put it away." Ji Yuan replied obediently.

Before Ji Youyou went on the road, she took a lot of small hidden weapons that she had been thinking about before. The reason for doing this was just a pastime for the eldest lady in the boudoir to kill time. She didn't expect that it would come in handy now.

"When it gets dark, I will carry you on my back and run out of the city. If you encounter someone wearing a mask, you must hide." Ji Youyou continued to tell his brother when he saw that it was still early.

The siblings have now completed nearly two-thirds of the journey, but they did not expect to encounter extreme danger in Fuzhou.

My brother has been acclimated these past few days, has a slight fever, and has been half asleep and half awake.

She was worried, so she took her brother out to seek medical treatment and went to the hospital to get some medicine.

When I went out, I saw people searching for something along the street.

Ji Youyou saw from a distance that the group of people wore exquisite facial masks and uniformly wore black slim-fitting robes with complex patterns such as totems on them. They were holding a box as if they were looking for something.

Passers-by were running away wildly, and there were large stains of blood on the ground.

Following a wailing cry, a person fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.

The fast movements don’t seem like normal people.

Even though she was born into a general family, she has never seen such skills.

The most frightening thing is that these people have no regard for human ethics. They leave no one alive wherever they go, and their methods are extremely neat.

And he can actually fly like a monk.

Her father told her that since ancient times, although monks and mortals on Cangzhou Continent live on the same continent, there are obvious dividing lines and they are not connected with each other.

What's going on now?

Due to the alertness of a martial arts practitioner and the experience of wandering around with her younger brother in the past six months, she instinctively felt the danger.

As soon as he noticed something was wrong, he immediately took his younger brother into a broken house in an alley.

The house is empty and the owner seems to have abandoned it for a long time.

There was dust everywhere, so she found a small side cabinet in the kitchen and hid her brother in it before she went in and closed the cabinet door.

There happens to be a slit on the cabinet door, allowing Ji Youyou to see what's going on outside.

The Facebook users who were searching seemed very impatient. When they saw that the room was empty, they didn’t even go in to take a closer look.

Fortunately, they hid in the cabinet and escaped waves of searches.

Ji Youyou, who was quietly planning, and had been paying attention to the sounds outside, heard a rustling sound coming from outside the door, and put her index finger on her mouth to signal her brother to stop talking.

Then I heard a kick at the door and footsteps approaching.

Through the gap in the wood, she saw only one person with facial makeup and no accomplices.

After this person came in, he started rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The siblings held their breath at the same time. Ji Youyou gave Ji Yuan a look and told him to hide it, and then she tightened her grip on the dagger she carried with her.

This "Miyou" was given to her by her father on her twelfth birthday.

I don’t know what kind of craftsmanship was used, but the entire knife sound appeared a simple gray-green color, emitting bursts of cold light.

The center of the handle is dotted with an emerald green jade stone.

My mother said that she could cut gold and jade, and cut iron like mud, so she should keep it carefully so as not to hurt herself.

At that time, she loved it so much that she secretly gestured twice every day.

The footsteps gradually came closer, and the visitor looked towards the door, as if he was waiting for his companions.

This is the moment!

Taking advantage of his slight distraction, Ji Youyou rushed out of the sideboard as vigorously as a cheetah.

Already fifteen years old, she is relatively tall among her peers, nearly seven feet tall.

Inheriting her father's physique and practicing martial arts to strengthen her body, she is different from the frail ladies of ancient times, and her muscles are very tight.
