"My Princess Mingyue, is it something you dirty guys can care about?"
Xiao Yuchen's eyes were blood-red, like a ghost, eerie and terrifying, yet also revealing a coquettish beauty.
The group of people who planned to rob them and then kidnap Yue'er tonight turned into piles of ashes.
Xiao Yuchen found a big broom from the yard.
The ashes of this group of people were swept into the pool around the rockery.
There are water lilies planted in the pond, with yellow and white flowers in bloom. They look particularly beautiful under the moonlight that suddenly jumps out of the clouds.
Xiao Yuchen threw down the broom and walked towards the room.
Wen Jin's heart was beating very fast.
She quickly opened the door and windows, letting in the outside air to dilute the stale air in the room.
"Jin'er, don't be afraid." Xiao Yuchen walked to Wen Jin and hugged her gently from behind. "No matter what I become, I will never hurt you."
Wen Jin wanted to turn around and face him to speak.
Xiao Yuchen hugged her tightly and refused to let her move.
"Don't look... I know, I look a bit scary now, don't scare you."
Wen Jin heard his own heartbeat, dong dong, dong dong!
"What kind of evil magic have you practiced? Will it...devour your mind?" she asked.
Xiao Yuchen hugged her and chuckled behind her, "Are you scared? Don't worry, in front of you... I will never."
"Tonight's meal..."
Before Wen Jin finished speaking, Xiao Yuchen lowered his head and kissed her hair, "I know, you want to contact Kyoto."
Wen Jin's breath froze.
He knows it all.
It's rare that he can still be so gentle and generous knowing that he is being plotted against.
"I'm driving tomorrow. Didn't you bring some dry food? Let's try not to waste time on the road and find Han Xian as soon as possible and return to Kyoto."
Xiao Yuchen didn't wait for her to object and continued, "We have to hurry up, something happened in Kyoto."
Wen Jin's heart tightened, "What happened in Kyoto? How is Yu'er...?"
Xiao Yuchen shook his head, "I don't know... I can't contact Kyoto either. So, I have to go back quickly."
Wen Jin's breathing was rapid, and his chest was rising and falling violently.
Xiao Yuchen still hugged her tightly, lowered his head and kissed her neck, "I know, you hate me for doing this... Let's go back first and wait until these things are dealt with. I will explain to you slowly, and you will settle the score with me slowly. , is it done?"
Wen Jin exhaled, "Why can't we tell you now?"
Xiao Yuchen smiled helplessly, "I can't explain it in one or two sentences."
If you can’t explain it clearly in one or two sentences, then just make it clearer!
I can't tell you one day, two days, three days...
It's just an excuse for not wanting to explain.
"Go to sleep. If you sleep a little longer, it's time to set off." Xiao Yuchen closed the door and looked at her lying on the bed.
He sat cross-legged on the ground beside the bed, breathing in and out, practicing internal skills and mental methods.
The next day, everything was calm in the inn, as if nothing had happened.
No one is looking for where those people went last night.
It's like they never existed.
Xiao Yuchen hitched up the carriage and changed into the dark coarse cloth clothes Wen Jin gave him.
After all, silk clothes are not wear-resistant, and they look out of place on a "carriage driver."
The family of three simply ate some "dry food" - Wen Jin's freshly made fruit salad and the candied roasted chestnuts that they had stocked up on before.
The freshness preservation function of the space is incredible. The ingredients you put in will be the same as before when you take them out.
After the family of three had eaten, they immediately hit the road.
After passing through the city ahead, there is only one day's journey left to Qingcheng Mountain.
Wen Jin and Yue'er were sitting in the carriage playing a game of rope turning.
"Yue'er, it's your turn." Wen Jin held the rope with both hands.
Yue'er tilted her head, as if she was stunned.
“Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Seeing this, Wen Jin also listened to the noise outside. He didn't know what was going on outside.
Wen Jin opened the curtains of his car and saw that the gate of the city was crowded with people, waving their fists, shouting angrily, and the crowd was passionate.
"Dad, what are they shouting?" Yue'er asked loudly.
Xiao Yuchen whipped his riding whip in the air.
"Pa--" There was a crisp sound, and the two horses seemed to feel the suppressed anger of their masters. They kicked up and ran faster.
Yue'er couldn't sit still and rolled into her mother's arms.
Yue'er's eyes widened in surprise, "What's wrong with daddy? Are you angry?"
Wen Jin stared slightly.
In fact, she understood.
The edict to close down girls' schools was issued to all post offices and government offices at all levels.
Those people just now were protesting and expressing their dissatisfaction.
They gathered in crowds and demanded the opening of schools for girls.
Most of the people standing there were young people, mostly women.
"Didn't you say that it would be closer to go directly through the city?" Yue'er picked up the window lattice, "Dad seems to have taken the wrong route, so we took a long detour outside the city."
"There are so many people at the city gate. It's too congested. It's impossible to get through the city, which only wastes time."
Wen Jin was patiently explaining to his daughter.
But I heard Xiao Yuchen reining in his horse and slowing down, "Oh——"
Wasn't he anxious to find Han Xian and return to Kyoto?
Why did it suddenly slow down?
Wen Jin opened the front door and was about to ask him.
But they saw that even if they took the road outside the city, a large group of people had gathered in front of them, blocking the entire road.
"What happened in front?" Yue'er also stuck her head out and looked ahead.
"Let's go another way." Xiao Yuchen wanted to turn the horse's head.
From the crowd in front, a woman's scream came out, "Ah... it was originally founded by the Queen as a girls' school. It didn't use any money from the court or spend a penny from the national treasury! Why don't we let us go to school!"
The woman's voice was sharp and penetrating.
The three members of the family in the carriage could all hear it clearly.
Yue'er looked at Xiao Yuchen with wide innocent eyes, "Dad, let's go and have a look! All female students in the world are considered to be my students! Sir, how can you ignore it when you see your own students being beaten?"
Xiao Yuchen looked at his daughter in surprise...
"How long have we been apart...Yue'er, you..."
He speaks so clearly, his articulation is clear, and he is very logical.
A bit precocious and almost demonic, right?
Little did Xiao Yuchen know that although Yue'er's body shape had not changed during the time difference in space, her mind had grown.
Wen Jin looked at him silently.
She wanted to see how he, as a father, could explain to his innocent and ignorant daughter?
Xiao Yuchen whispered, "Yue'er, sit down, we are on our way."
"If even we can ignore him, then who in the world will encourage justice and conscience?" Yue'er stared at her father without blinking.
Xiao Yuchen's breath was stagnant.
He looked at Wen Jin somewhat for help... He really couldn't bear his daughter's straightforward and innocent eyes. My conscience is troubled!
"Go and have a look, no matter whether you have different political opinions or not...when the road is uneven, help is needed," Wen Jin said.
Xiao Yuchen sighed and drove his horse forward.
When he arrived at a crowded place, he stopped the carriage, held his daughter in his arms, and squeezed through the crowd while protecting Wen Jin.
I saw that most of the people here were watching the excitement. The two sides in the conflict were a group of female students in their teens and a few officers and soldiers in their thirties.
The officers and soldiers held long whips in their hands.
Several women were crowded together, and the two women in the middle had clearly been whipped.
"Don't watch the fun, let's get out of here! You guys should go home quickly! There is no teacher to teach you how to read and write anymore! You won't be allowed to take the exams in the future! Go home quickly, take care of the family, support your husband and raise your children, that's it! Your duty!" shouted the officers and soldiers.
