After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

As usual, after running a few laps with Shen Junce, Wen Baizhi got off the horse sweating.

She held the reins of Chasing the Wind.

Shen Junce followed her three steps behind.

Wen Baizhi had noticed that Shen Junce had been avoiding her these past two days.

But she also understands.

After all, I am Si Jiu's wife now.

In this era, married women are absolutely not allowed to show their faces in front of men outside their family.

However, Si Jiu never used this as a requirement to frame her.

Wen Baizhi stopped suddenly, which scared Shen Junce who was behind her.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Shen Junce asked.

Wen Baizhi held the reins: "I just want to ask you, where are the people who were with me three years ago now?"

Shen Junce knew that she would ask this question sooner or later.

"Those people three years ago left me alone alive."

Wen Baizhi didn't believe it at first, and then a chill ran down her body: "What does this mean? All? All of them?"

Shen Junce gritted his teeth and nodded: "I told you, for some reason, the news communication between Kyoto and the border was cut off at that time. We sent countless letters to Kyoto for help, but there was no reply, and no reinforcements."

Wen Baizhi was filled with grief, tears welling up in her eyes: "How could this be? We clearly had the best information network at that time!"

Shen Junce said: "I don't know why. Not only that, even the military pay that should have been sent to the border was not delivered in time. Those officers and soldiers couldn't tell whether they died of starvation or in battle."

He couldn't continue speaking and turned around to wipe away his tears.

Since Wen Baizhi was reborn, she has always thought about visiting the border areas.

See the place where she fought and gave her life.

She even sold some of the jewelry that Sijiu gave her and asked Cuizhi to buy land and a house for her in Kyoto.

It is just to use my limited strength to do something for those soldiers who are fighting hard.

Now Shen Junce cruelly told her the fact.

But Wen Baizhi was someone who had experienced a lot of storms, so she quickly calmed down.

"So you're the only one left in the end, huh?"

Shen Junce wiped away his tears and said, "I had a disagreement with your future superior and was sent back to the capital. It was the governor who saved me. It was only later that I learned that the entire border had fallen into the hands of the Chidu Kingdom."

Wen Baizhi had nothing more to say.

There was mist in her eyes.

She put her face against Zhuifeng's.

"I will definitely find out the hidden truth behind this, and I will not let anyone die in vain."

Shen Junce was worried that she would do something impulsive: "Don't be impulsive. Many things need to be considered carefully."

Wen Baizhi said coldly: "They are soldiers. If they have to die, they will die on the battlefield, at the hands of the enemy. There is no reason for them to die under the calculations of our own people."

Shen Junce knew that she had always been a person with her own opinions, so he stopped trying to persuade her.

At dinner time, Wen Baizhi returned to the tent.

As soon as I sat down, Ping An came forward.

"Madam, the governor has sent a message that he will not be back for dinner tonight, and he will not be back early. Please finish your meal and get settled early."

Wen Baizhi felt something was wrong.

Before Si Jiu left this morning, he clearly said that he would come back in the evening to have dinner with her.

He is a man of his word and always makes sure things are in order.

The reason why he suddenly changed his mind must be very complicated.

She asked Ping An, "Where is he now?"

Ping An: "The Governor must be with His Majesty at the hunting grounds."

Wen Baizhi: "Since he is with His Majesty, then His Majesty can leave if he wants to. Why did he come back so late?"

Ping An was a little nervous: "This, this is also what the governor sent someone to tell me, and I don't know what the governor is planning."

Wen Baizhi didn't intend to embarrass him: "Do you know where this hunting ground is?"

Ping An was conflicted.

Wen Baizhi said: "Why, do you think that if you don't tell me, I won't know? I can ask others, or at worst I can look for it everywhere, and I will always find it."

Ping An immediately said, "Madam, the sun is about to set. It is very dangerous outside. Madam, you must not go out alone."

This is what Wen Baizhi wanted: "That's why I asked you where the hunting ground is. If you tell me and take me there, then I won't be in any danger."

Ping An had no way of escaping her twists and turns, so after thinking for a moment he decided to take her to the hunting ground.

Wen Baizhi had never participated in any hunting in her previous life.

At that time, she was unbridled and thought that hunting in a hunting ground was nothing more than artificially driving animals together and then having a group of idiots compete with each other, which was very boring.

So this is her first time to participate in hunting.

It was also my first time to go to a hunting ground.

Ping An took her outside the venue and said, "Madam, the inside is the center of the venue. His Majesty and the ministers are sitting there. Madam, you can wait for the governor here."

Wen Baizhi thanked him: "I know you are doing this for my own good. I was too tough just now and asked you to do something you couldn't do. I apologize to you."

Ping An didn't dare to accept her apology, and hurriedly said, "Madam, what are you talking about? It is a blessing for a servant to be able to relieve the master's worries."

Wen Baizhi smiled at him and then looked for Si Jiu through the small door outside the venue.

She thought it would take a long time to find it.

But unexpectedly, I found him immediately.

It’s not because her eyesight is so good, but because Si Jiu’s standing position is very conspicuous.

He was standing in the very center of the hunting ground.

There seems to be an apple on its head.

When Wen Baizhi saw him like this, her breathing stopped for a moment.

She looked around quickly, trying to find who was going to shoot an arrow at his head.

Before she found the man, she saw an arrow shot straight at Si Jiu's head.

The arrow did not hit the apple on Si Jiu's head, but instead brushed past his shoulder and fell down.

Wen Baizhi angrily looked in the direction from which the arrow came to see who it was.

But what he saw unexpectedly was Qi Yan'an holding a bow and arrow.

"What a pity, this eighth arrow still failed to hit the apple on Lord Si's head."

Qi Yanan seemed to feel it was a pity.

The eighth arrow?

Wen Baizhi couldn't believe her ears.

In other words, Si Jiu had been in such danger, even in a state of despair, and had been at a distance of eight arrows!

Wen Baizhi was so angry that she wanted to rush forward and snatch Qi Yan'an's bow and arrow, shoot the most perfect arrow, and finally smash the bow into his face.

But she can't.

She could only watch Si Jiu being bullied and insulted by him.

Wen Baizhi's breathing became faster.

Until Qi Yan'an shot the ninth arrow and the tenth arrow.

Si Jiu's body was covered with marks left by arrows.

But he still stood there motionless.

Like a wooden man without any emotions.

But Wen Baizhi knew that there would never be a wooden man.

Si Jiu just knew that he couldn't move. Whether he moved or not, he would be teased by Qi Yan'an, so it was better not to move.

Finally, when Qi Yan'an shot the eleventh arrow.

The apple on Si Jiu's head was shot to the ground.

Wen Baizhi let out a long sigh.

She hurriedly pulled Ping'an back.

As they walked, she reminded Ping An: "When your governor asks you about this later, don't tell him that I have been here. Just tell him that I have been in the tent all the time, okay?"

Ping An was puzzled but obeyed unconditionally.

Si Jiu had sent word that he would not be back for dinner that night, just to avoid appearing like this in front of her.

If he knew that she saw everything, wouldn't it be a waste of his efforts?

When Si Jiu dragged his heavy body back to the tent, he saw Wen Baizhi pretending to be ignorant.

She even said a sweet hello to herself.

"You haven't eaten yet, I'm hungry, let's have a midnight snack together."
