Baochai naturally understood this truth. She said she was going to be a counselor, but in fact it was also a kind of careful work. If she was not careful, she might end up with no bones left.
Moreover, she was not the only one who went there this time, there were also Miharu and others, and there were even more variables. In addition, they were all weak women who didn't know much about martial arts. If they weren't more careful, they really didn't know how they would die.
.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of Jiusi taking Daiyu to practice martial arts. She hesitated for a moment and then asked aloud: "I remember you are a martial artist. I wonder if you have the skills that Yingchun and I can practice.
If there is one, I would like to shamelessly ask you for a copy.
Don't worry, I don't want your things in vain. See if there is anything you like here. If there is anything, you can take it. If not, I will pay for it with my money."
When Jiusi heard this, he shook his head first: "I really don't have any books on martial arts training."
Then, without waiting for Baochai to show his disappointed look, he beckoned Yiyue over: "But I can let Yiyue teach you.
It just so happens that I don't trust you to go alone, so let her give you a ride!
Practice while you are on the road, and you will be able to learn similar things when you arrive at the border. As for internal skills and hands-on skills, as long as you practice diligently and have more experience, you will naturally be able to do it."
When Baochai heard that she wanted Yi Yue to give them a ride, Zang Du couldn't hide the joy in his eyes: "In that case, I would like to thank Sister Jiusi.
Please rest assured, sister, that I will definitely treat her as an honored guest during the time she is with us in January, and I will never treat her badly."
After Jiusi heard this, he didn't say anything. He only gave a few careful instructions to Yiyue, and then he told her about the other things.
For example, what kind of things they may encounter along the way, where they will pass along the way, what taboos there are in those places, and so on.
In addition, she also gave Baochai a list, which recorded the personal information and factions of those officials by category, so that she would not have a black eye after arriving at Xuanguo.
After giving it, she warned: "These information were checked by the envoys before they came. I don't know if these people have switched to other factions due to other things during this period. You need to identify these by yourself after you arrive."
.”
Baochai was worried about where to start after she went to Xuanguo. Her list was a timely one, and she would not think that it was information that she had found out before.
Besides, news is always changeable. A small thing may change the result. As long as the difference is big enough, it will be enough for her.
Therefore, she stood up without saying a word and bowed to her: "Sister, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will remember your kindness. If I still come back, I will definitely repay you for your kindness today."
"
Seeing this, Jiusi stood up and helped the person up: "What are you doing? It's just a piece of information, it's not worth what you do.
Furthermore, it’s not you who went to declare the country for yourself. It’s not easy to be an unknown hero. I’m just adding a helping hand to you.”
Baochai didn't agree with her statement. Everyone could say good things, but how many people could do it? Even the emperor didn't see him give him a piece of information.
While the two were chatting, Yingchun and the others arrived. Seeing the two of them like this, they couldn't help laughing and joking: "Sisters, what are you doing? Isn't that pastry so delicious that it made you fight?"
When the two of them saw them coming, they didn't want to say anything more, so they both let go and sat back.
Baochai calmly put the list away and said, "You three, it would be fine if you didn't apologize for coming so late, but you actually made fun of us first."
After hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and saluted the two of them in unison: "It's because the sisters came late, I hope the two sisters don't blame me, hahaha..."
Seeing this, Jiusi smiled and shook his head, said "nothing" and went to drink his tea.
She had been talking for so long that she was already thirsty.
Baochai smiled angrily and nodded at them, and then said: "I was talking to Jiusi about learning martial arts just now. I wanted to ask her for a book to read, so that we can learn self-defense skills, but I didn't know.
She said no.
I thought we were unlucky, but she also said that she would let Yi Yue go and give us a ride, and that Yi Yue could teach us on the way. I was so happy in my heart, and thanked her for coming, but here you are.
.”
After hearing this, Yingchun and the others hurriedly stood up and bowed solemnly to Jiusi.
Seeing this, Jiusi waved to them helplessly: "Sisters, you don't have to be so polite. As long as you study hard and get Yi Yue back soon, that will be my greatest gratitude."
The three of them listened and agreed with a smile.
Afterwards, a few people chatted about some things that needed attention. When it came to parting, several people couldn't help but feel a little sad, and even their words couldn't help but be a little sad.
After all, it is leaving one's hometown. Even if one knows that after completing this matter, one will be able to obtain incredible wealth, it is hard to feel happy.
What's more, they still have various problems during this trip. If they are not handled properly, they may lose their lives, which makes them even more uneasy.
Fortunately, they didn't chat for long, and the servants prepared a banquet. They ate, drank, and played for a while, and the sadness of parting disappeared.
Since everyone had something to do tomorrow, the banquet broke up not long after they gathered together. Jiusi left some self-defense medicine for the four of them and left the place.
Before dawn the next day and before the city gates opened, an inconspicuous team was escorted and quietly left the bustling place of the capital, heading for the unknown.
Jiusi, on the other hand, got up earlier than them and went to the palace. He met up with those who needed to participate in the competition, went out from another city gate, and rushed to the mountains and forests in the distance.
Logically speaking, everyone should set off to the competition venue together, but everyone was afraid that someone would cause trouble, so they changed the way and route of travel. No one knew when we would go outside the city or which way we would go outside the city.
Naturally, there is no way to deal with anyone secretly.
Of course, if they are unlucky enough to meet other teams and have any conflicts, then they can only be considered unlucky.
However, facts have proven one thing, that is, anyone who wants to harm you will always find the time and method.
When the group was still half an hour away from the gathering place, Jiusi, who was riding in front, noticed something was wrong in front of them. The forest on the side was too quiet, and some dark shadows could be faintly seen flashing by.
Seeing this, she knew that someone was ambushing around her, but she did not shout to stop. While warning the people following her, she took off the bow and arrow hanging on the horse, raised her hand and shot.
Following the "whoosh" sounds, screams soon sounded in the forest.
As the morning light appeared, she vaguely noticed that there seemed to be a snagging rope on the road ahead. Without saying a word, she shot two arrows at the place where the reflected light flashed.
"Beng" and "Bang" were heard twice, and the stumbling rope broke.
