Slight footsteps sounded behind Zheng Ji, and along with the occasional "cracking" sound of a fire not far away, the depth and silence of the winter night became even more apparent.
When Zheng Ji heard the sound coming from behind him, he didn't turn around, but the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Fengju's footsteps were so familiar to her that they seemed to be engraved in her bones.
Just now, she ordered everyone to return to the camp to rest, and especially told Feng Ju - he was the weakest and needed the most rest.
Before he could stop, she spoke: "It's so late, why can't you sleep? Don't worry, I'm going to rest now."
Of course she knew why Fengju wasn't asleep yet, but just like him, she was equally worried about him.
Du Fengju stood beside her, staring at her with his bright black eyes, shaking his head and saying, "It's not that I'm worried, it's just that... I can't sleep."
Of course he knows His Highness's temperament, and will move forward without hesitation on things that have been agreed upon. Everything is well planned, so there is nothing to worry about.
However, His Highness will leave Lishan early tomorrow morning, and he...can't bear to leave.
I want to see His Highness more and then talk to His Highness.
Zheng Ji turned sideways, looked at Du Fengju deeply for a while, then smiled and said, "In that case, why don't you accompany me for a walk?"
Du Fengju nodded and agreed happily.
Shi Dingfang and Qin Zhou, who were guarding the camp, saw this and were about to follow them, but saw Zheng Ji waving his hands and saying, "You don't have to follow, I'm just walking nearby."
Shi Dingfang and Qin Zhou looked at each other, then at the Chang Ding rate soldiers stationed around them, and responded, "Yes!"
~~
Zheng Ji never thought that he would be walking with Fengju on Shannan Road on such a quiet winter night.
The cold winter wind blew by, not only not making her feel cold and uncomfortable, but also slightly dispelling the sudden restlessness in her heart.
As long as she felt that Feng Ju was by her side, when she looked over, the other person would look back at him, his eyes as gentle as water, and her heart would feel filled with joy.
During this trip to Lishan, no matter how dangerous it was, as long as she thought that Fengju was still waiting for her in Lizhou, infinite courage would surge in her heart.
She must come back safely, and she will come back safely.
Before Du Fengju spoke, she said: "I have made arrangements. Going to Lishan will be dangerous, but I have confidence in myself and in the long-term success rate."
After getting along for such a long time, and observing Mr. Huang and the others in the martial arts arena day and night, she was certainly able to pick out people who were truly trustworthy and available.
Before going to Lishan on this trip, although the number of people she brought with her was not large, they were all carefully selected. As long as their lives were not in danger, everything else was not a problem.
Du Fengju nodded. In fact, he often went in and out of Princess Changding's mansion, and he unconsciously gave instructions to Changding's soldiers - who could be used. He also consulted with Zheng Ji in detail.
Besides, there are people from Henglou...
He couldn't put Wei Yan beside His Highness. For His Highness's safety, he secretly transferred everyone from Henglou to Shannan Road, and now they are behind Chang Dingli.
These people, whether His Highness is willing or not, will follow His Highness.
Henglou's individual combat power is not comparable to Wei Yan or Pei Yanshan, and may even be inferior to His Highness, but Henglou's greatest ability is spying and survival, and he is the most suitable person to follow His Highness on this trip.
He will not stop His Highness from going to Lishan, but he will try his best to give His Highness the greatest support.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reach out and press his waist. Then, he lowered his head and took out an object from his waist.
He held the object in his hand, then handed it out and said softly: "Your Highness, this is for you."
Zheng Ji's eyes were always on him. From the moment he stretched out his hand to touch his waist, to when she saw him taking out this object, she was stunned.
At this moment, she lowered her eyes and looked at the bronze medal with animal patterns handed to her, and her heart began to tremble involuntarily.
She opened her mouth, but her throat felt dry.
I was speechless.
"Your Highness, take it." Du Fengju stretched out the bronze medal with the animal pattern and said again.
Zheng Ji stared intently at the bronze medal with animal patterns, swallowed unconsciously, and finally found his voice: "What is this?"
This bronze medal with animal patterns has been hanging on Fengju's waist since she first saw Fengju outside Fengan Tower.
From then on, every time she saw Fengju, this bronze medal with animal patterns accompanied Fengju. As Mr. Du Duan, of course, this bronze medal with animal patterns was also his personal belongings.
This clearly shows the importance of this bronze medal with animal patterns to Fengju.
She knew how important this bronze medal with animal patterns was. After Fengju blocked an arrow for her in her previous life, the last thing left for her was this bronze medal with animal patterns.
She and Fengju had known each other for such a long time, so of course she knew that this bronze medal with the animal pattern was left to Fengju by Master Lu, and could command the forces left by Master Lu.
Now, Fengju gave it to her.
She didn't reach out to take it, she couldn't take it, how could she take it?
Zheng Ji closed his eyes, and what appeared in his mind was the image of the animal-patterned bronze medal stained with blood in his previous life. A hint of evil gradually appeared in his eyes, and his hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists without realizing it.
She lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows. Du Fengju couldn't see her eyes, but he could feel the evil spirit leaking from her body, and he couldn't help but pause in the hand.
The tremor in his heart was no less than that of Zheng Ji.
The next moment, he couldn't help but hold his breath and whispered: "Your Highness, do you know it?"
This animal-patterned bronze medal was left to him by his adoptive father. It was of too great significance and its existence was too secret. Unless he really no longer had the ability to save it, he would never leak it.
No matter how deep the relationship between him and His Highness will be in the future.
Even now, when he handed this beast-patterned bronze medal to His Highness, he had no intention of telling His Highness its ins and outs.
Judging from His Highness's reaction, it is obvious that His Highness knows the meaning of this bronze medal with animal patterns, otherwise His Highness, a calm and steady person, would not show such an expression.
Under what circumstances did I tell His Highness in my previous life? What kind of feelings do you have for His Highness that make you willing to tell His Highness?
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
He wanted to accompany His Highness on the thorny road chosen by His Highness. He thought that he was strong enough and prepared enough, but every time he caught a glimpse of the silk screen light, it made his heart tremble again and again.
What happened in the future that he didn't know?
He had had countless guesses, but at this moment, with the help of the animal-patterned bronze medal left to him by his adoptive father, and judging from His Highness's reaction, he was finally certain of one thing.
That is……
He should have died before His Highness.
"I don't know about everyone, but my Eryang has really lost half of its life. Kneel down..."
