Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 40: Golden Wind and Jade Dew Meet

That night, Qiao Lili was dreaming. In her dreams, she saw her mother, the fairy aunt, and brother Ajing in the Hundred Flowers Valley. Each scene was like returning to the scene at that time.

After waking up, she suddenly remembered that today was the Flower Festival. She had been having such dreams these days. Was it because it was time for her date with the fairy aunt again?

It has been six years since she placed the letter in the tree hole and she has not been to the Valley of Flowers again. Does the fairy aunt have to go there twice a year to wait for her mother?

After returning from training at the martial arts arena, he said to Shang Zhen, "Master Shang, I am going out today. If I come back early in the afternoon, I will come to the outer study to find you. If I come back late, I will take a day off."

"Okay, Miss. I'll arrange something else for the morning."

Qiao Lili did not take Shang Zhen as her master. He was just a martial arts master hired by Duke Dingguo's Mansion for Qiao Lili. Because in Qiao Lili's heart, the fairy aunt was her master, although she did not formally become his disciple.

She decided that she would go to Baihua Valley today, and if she could meet the fairy aunt, she would formally become her disciple.

When she went out, she only brought Caiqi and Caixing with her, because Bai Junzhe had just suffered a loss at her hands and was still half-dead from injuries, so he would not have the energy to deal with her. No doctor was willing to treat Bai Junzhe, causing his injuries, which were not serious to begin with, to worsen. After knowing the whole story, I have to say that he has a good sister.

Not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

The three of them rode out of the city on horseback. The horse that Qiao Lili rode was her mother's mount. It was snow-white and named Wuzong, because not only did it run fast, but the hoof marks it left were particularly light, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find them. It was particularly suitable for hiding its whereabouts, and was a divine horse that could run a thousand miles.

Although the horse is his mother's, it grew up with Qiao Lili. Wuzong is the foal that Qiao Lili's father, Duke Dingguo, got at the border. He sent someone to send it back to the capital for his beloved wife all the way across the country.

Was she six or seven at that time? She was seven. She was so happy at that time. Her parents loved each other, and she and her brother loved each other.

Wuzong is nine years old now, which is a good time for him. He walked out of the city gate, kicked around and flew everywhere, leaving Caiqi and Caixing behind in a short while.

In her previous life, Wuzong entered the Bai Mansion with her. After she was imprisoned in the dungeon, Lou Xinyue wanted to take it for herself, but Wuzong refused and threw her off her back several times. Lou Xinyue became furious and killed Wuzong.

On this day, Qiao Lili, who had been hungry in the dark cell for three days, got a meal of barbecued meat. Although there was no salt or seasoning, she ate it with relish. When she had wolfed down all the meat, Lou Xinyue came down to the dungeon.

"Is it delicious?" Lou Xinyue smiled viciously.

"Do you know what kind of meat this is?"

"It's horse meat." Qiao Lili had a bad feeling in her heart.

"It's your white horse."

"What a beast! How dare you not know what's good for you and throw me down."

"I hacked at its back more than 20 times. Didn't you say you wouldn't let me ride it? Haha, I hacked it to pieces. I chopped off all four of its hooves. It must be kicking its hind legs. Haha, kick it."

"That beast was really lucky. It bled for three days and three nights before dying."

"You haven't eaten for three days. Are you waiting for it to die so you can have a good meal?"

Qiao Lili's stomach was churning, and she vomited until she felt dizzy and had stars in her eyes. She wished she could vomit out her entire stomach. She struggled and rushed towards Lou Xinyue, but the black iron chain was so long that her wrists and ankles were bleeding from the black iron chain, and she couldn't reach Lou Xinyue, who was laughing wildly.

Lou Xinyue, she swore in her heart: I will tear you into pieces.

At this time, Qiao Lili was lying on Wuzong's back, with her arms around Wuzong's neck, and her tears flowed into Wuzong's snow-white mane like beads with broken strings.

Wuzong seemed to sense something, let out a long hiss, slowly slowed down, and stopped running.

Qiao Lili murmured softly, "Wu Zong, Wu Zong," and Wu Zong neighed, either marking time on the spot or raising its front hooves, looking restless.

The sound of horse hooves came closer and closer. Qiao Lili knew that Caiqi and Caixing were catching up with her. She quickly wiped away her tears and adjusted her mood.

Caiqi and Caixing were relieved when they saw Qiao Lili waiting for them on the roadside.

Next, Qiao Lili did not let Wuzong run too fast. More than half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the foot of Shangchun Mountain, the mountain outside Baihua Valley.

"You guys wait here for me, I'll go up the mountain by myself." Qiao Lili handed Wuzong's reins to Caiqi, "Let it eat some grass nearby and keep an eye on it."

"But, Miss," Cai Qi was about to argue again, but Qiao Lili's face turned cold, "This is an order."

Sometimes, she still hopes that the people who follow her can take her words as orders, and just say it once, without asking her to repeat it again and again. Maybe it’s because she grew up next to the martial arts field, watching the soldiers always obey orders, and she hopes that her subordinates can be so worry-free. It seems that she still needs training.

Cai Xing jumped off the horse and pulled Cai Qi, "Miss, please be careful. We will wait for you here. Please give us some time, so that we can come to find you after that time."

"We have to go into the city before the gates close, so I will definitely come down an hour before then."

"Okay, we'll remember it." Caiqi and Caixing said goodbye.

Qiao Lili stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up for a quarter of an hour. She took several deep breaths, closed her eyes to calm herself, and climbed up without stopping. She climbed to the top of Shangchun Mountain in one breath. She could not see the Baihua Valley from the top of the mountain. She followed the road she remembered, went down halfway up the mountain, and found the entrance to the valley. She had already memorized the steps and direction to enter. After turning a few rock walls, the road in front of her suddenly opened up.

We have arrived at the Valley of Flowers. In the valley, flowers are in full bloom, grass is fresh and green, and fallen petals are colorful.

Under the peach tree where his mother and aunt drank, there was a young man standing. At this time, the peach blossoms were in full bloom. He had his back to Qiao Lili, and he had his hair tied up with a jade crown. He had a tall figure and a moon-white brocade robe on his body. He was as tall and straight as an orchid and a jade tree. The breeze blew, and the petals fell like rain. The young man's black hair and clothes fluttered, and he was as beautiful as a banished immortal.

Whose white jade is this man? He returns to Tianjin by car. He looks at the flowers on the eastern road, startling the people of Luoyang.

The young man heard the footsteps and turned back hastily. His confused look turned into surprise and he shouted, "Ali!"

Qiao Lili also saw the boy in front of her clearly. Her body moved faster than her brain. She ran over and called out with a sob, "Brother Jing."

Yu Jingyan took two quick steps, opened his arms, and hugged Qiao Lili in his arms.

Qiao Lili could no longer control herself and she burst into tears.

Since her rebirth, she had cried countless times, either silently shedding tears or sobbing quietly, but she had never cried so heartily like this.

She didn't know why, but as soon as she saw Yu Jingyan, she felt that she could vent her grievances, her fears, her pain, and her hatred without any worries.

"Ali, don't be afraid. I'm here, and you have brother Ajing." Yu Jingyan didn't try to persuade her not to cry. He just told her that he was here and she could rely on him.

"Brother Ajing, my mother has..." She felt heartbroken and couldn't utter the word "dead".

Sometimes, she also blamed fate. Since she was reborn, why didn't she be reborn when her mother was still alive?

"I know, I know everything. Don't be afraid. I'm here. Brother Jing will be here from now on."

Qiao Lili didn’t know how long she had been crying. She actually fell asleep in Yu Jingyan’s arms while crying.

She finally saw her brother Ajing, who stood as gracefully as an orchid and whose smile was as bright as the moon in her arms.

She had never had a good night's sleep since she was reborn. She had nightmares all the time, and her memories were recalled. She also planned revenge during the day, and her nerves were always tense. At this moment, when she saw Yu Jingyan, she suddenly felt that she had someone to rely on. After crying, she relaxed unconsciously and fell asleep all of a sudden.
