My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 105

[Chapter 105 Jinghong Token]

With the help of monkey stories, the journey becomes exciting.

After traveling for another two or three days, nearly halfway through the journey, early in the morning, everyone was sitting in the car, feeling drowsy.

“Young village leader, there is a lake outside. It’s so big!”

At this time, a naive voice came in. Jing Zhe opened the car window and looked outside, and saw a big lake in front of them.

Even if there are stories to listen to, after sitting in the car for a long time, the body will feel tired. Everyone takes the opportunity to get out of the car, look at the beautiful scenery by the lake, stretch and move.

Standing by the lake and looking around, the entire lake is covered with a thin layer of fog. Looking far into the distance, the lake under the fog appears to be looming and hazy.

From time to time, there are a few egrets passing by on the lake, hovering low over the lake, seeming to be looking for food, but also seeming to be playing, flying through the mist, which is uniquely exquisite.

“It’s so beautiful!”

Liu Jinghong came to the lake and shouted out sincerely.

“Didn’t Fifth Sister see this lake when she came here?”

Jing Zhe walked up to her and asked curiously.

Liu Jinghong glanced at him, pursed his lips and said nothing.

She had indeed passed by this big lake. At that time, she had only glanced at it and had no trouble in her heart. But now, the people around her have changed, and her mood is naturally different.

“Zhe’er, let’s go for a walk with sister!”

Liu Jinghong said quietly, perhaps knowing that he was about to meet the emperor’s personal guards and that there were not many days left to stay with Jing Zhe.

“Okay!”

Jing Zhe replied and followed Liu Jinghong, walking forward along the embankment.

Su Mochen originally wanted to follow, but as soon as he took a step, he seemed to think of something, bit his lip, and stopped.

Staring at the two figures gradually moving away, he was lost in thought.

…

The road ahead gradually narrowed. With Liu Jinghong’s skills, there was no need to worry, but Jing Zhe still subconsciously reached out to help her.

Liu Jinghong looked back at him, grinned, and then sat down on the spot with his legs outside the embankment. Then he waved to Jing Zhe, motioning for him to sit down too.

Jing Zhe held her hand and sat down, shoulder to shoulder with Liu Jinghong. Like her, he kicked his legs in the air and looked at the sparkling lake, contentedly.

After staying in the carriage for too long, and suddenly taking my eyes away so far, I suddenly felt that my whole body felt much more relaxed.

After sitting for a while, Liu Jinghong unknowingly rested her head on Jing Zhe’s shoulder, just like Jing Zhe had lying on her when she was a child, looking like a beautiful lady enjoying the lake.

Suddenly, several egrets suddenly flew up from the reeds on the lake with their wings flashing, and soared into the sky.

Liu Jinghong looked up and said in a low voice, admiringly: “They are so good. They have no restraints and can hover in the air at will.”

Jing Zhe turned to look and saw that her eyes were full of admiration, and then thought about her identity. There is some sympathy for what I have to do every day.

There were constant wars in Liangzhou, and she not only had to work hard for it, but also led the troops to fight in person. There were countless large and small battles in a year, which was tiring and dangerous.

“Fifth sister, why do you want to join the army?”

Liu Jinghong tilted his head to look at him and said with a smile: “I also want to be a civil servant!”

But then he spread his hands and said helplessly: “But apart from fighting, I also want to do other things. No, I can only serve as a soldier. What I thought at first was that as long as my official position was bigger, I would be closer to my adoptive father and mother and Zhe’er, and I wouldn’t have to worry about others’ retaliation. Hey, I just didn’t expect…”

Maybe it was because of my thought. When Liu Jinghong learned about the death of Mr. and Mrs. Jing, his face felt a little sad.

“Fifth sister, although my parents are gone, I am here! Why don’t you resign as general? It’s tiring and dangerous. Do whatever you want to do!”

Jing Zhe advised sincerely.

Liu Jinghong stood up, looked at the lake, shook his head and smiled: “When I joined the army, my thoughts were simple, but when I sit in this position, I think about more than that. The people of Liangzhou need me, and the frontiers of Anguo also need me. How can we walk away?”

Seeing Jing Zhe’s silence, Liu Jinghong smiled and hugged his shoulders: “Besides, I want to be promoted again! Only if my sister becomes stronger can I protect Zhe’er!”

Hearing this, Jing Zhe wanted to say “Let me protect you”, but his mouth opened slightly, but he couldn’t say it after all.

He is just a soft rice king who wants to go to Jingzhou to hug his thighs. How can he be qualified to protect the dignified Anguo Jinghong General?

From time traveling to now, both Lu Li and Liu Jinghong have been protecting him. Thinking about it carefully, it feels so shameful.

At this time, he suddenly had more pursuits in his mind: I have to become stronger to protect my sisters!

The two sat for a while, during which Liu Jinghong, just like Lu Li last night, told Jing Zhe to pay attention to safety when he went to Jingzhou, and finally took out a token with the word “Jinghong” engraved on it.

“What is this?”

Jing Zhe asked curiously after playing with it.

“This is the Jinghong Token. If you see the token and see me, you can order the Jinghong Iron Cavalry!”

After hearing this, Jing Zhe quickly returned it.

“Fifth sister, take such an important thing back quickly!”

Liu Jinghong smiled, but did not reach out to pick it up.

“As long as I am here, Jinghong Iron Cavalry will always listen to me. It is useless to carry this token. You hold this token. If one day you get into trouble in Jingzhou, this token may be able to save your life. ”

With that said, he went to help Jing Zhe straighten his clothes and said quietly, “Sister, I hope you will never need this token!”

“…”

…

When the two of them went back, everything was as usual.

At noon, the carriage stopped.

Jing Zhe opened the car curtain to take a look and saw a large wave of troops approaching in front of the road, wearing golden armor and looking majestic.

“Is this the Guards?”

Liu Jinghong nodded, then jumped out of the carriage and went to meet them.

The leader of the Guards is a tall man, about forty years old. His official position is General of Guards, from the fourth rank.

His official title seems to be average, but because he stays in the palace all year round and only listens to the emperor’s orders, his real status is very high. Those ministers who come to the palace every day to meet the emperor will give him a little bit of favor.

But when he saw Liu Jinghong, he jumped off his horse, raised his hands with a solemn expression and said, “I have seen General Jinghong!”

Perhaps this came from his awe for the strong.

Liu Jinghong nodded, his face no longer had the relaxed and gentle expression when chatting with Jing Zhe, and became serious and calm.

“General Sui, there is no need to be polite!”

Liu Jinghong said, “I will trouble you to escort His Highness back to the palace. The border has not been peaceful recently. I have to rush back to Liangzhou now.”

“General Jinghong, you don’t have to be polite. This is what it is. It’s a matter of official duties! But General Jinghong protected the Anguo border and saved the people from the suffering of the war, which is really admirable!”

Liu Jinghong nodded and whispered to Su Mochen and Jing Zhe, Then ride away.

Seeing her sassy back disappearing into the sunlight that met the horizon, Jing Zhe felt more lost than ever before.
