Chapter 263 The Female Supporting Characters in the Republic of China 8
The weather in Yuncheng has been quite cold recently. Ji Lingruo was wearing a white fox fur coat and sitting in the yard reading a book when a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Are you going out to buy New Year's goods?" Jing Yunchuan asked her, his tone calm, as if he was asking what to eat today.
"Okay." Ji Lingruo was stunned. She had been staying in Jing Mansion reading books these days and had not gone out for a walk.
In fact, she had gone out before, avoiding the group of soldiers who were protecting her and going to the mountains alone, wanting to kill all the horse bandits in the plot.
But she found nothing. Maybe she would have to wait until that plot point to see the result. She thought about it and asked Jing Yunchuan to send people to pay more attention to whether there were any bandits nearby. If they appeared, they would be wiped out.
There was always an ambiguous feeling between them recently. Every time Jing Yunchuan had a meal with her, he would secretly look at her, and when he came back from going out, he would always bring her some novel foreign gadgets.
"To entertain the lady." Jing Yunchuan handed the thing to her. Lingruo took it and saw that it was a foreign music box. When she opened it, the screws inside turned and produced beautiful music.
"Thank you." Ji Lingruo took it, stood beside him, and walked side by side. To outsiders, they were a perfect match.
Her hands were hanging down, and occasionally they would accidentally touch Jing Yunchuan.
In front of him was a new-style photo studio. Jing Yunchuan walked over and said, "Want to take a photo? Western-style photos are very popular."
Current photography technology is still in black and white. There are rumors that the black and white things taken will trap the person's soul inside, but he doesn't believe it at all.
Ji Lingruo nodded and went into the photo studio with Jing Yunchuan.
The two took several photos, and when they took one of the full-body photos, Jing Yunchuan held her hand with his bony hands, intertwining their fingers.
Ling Ruo looked at him several times. This man didn't look like a man who would properly call her Miss Ji/Madam.
The man looked calm, as if it was not him who was holding Lingruo's hand. However, the sticky and warm touch on his palm revealed his nervousness.
Ji Lingruo simply let him lead the way.
"Ling Ruo."
The two walked to the water bridge in Yuncheng, and Jing Yunchuan suddenly stopped.
"Stay with me,"
Ji Lingruo's tight grip on his hand suddenly loosened.
There was a flash of disappointment in Jing Yunchuan's eyes, "Sorry."
Ji Lingruo shook her head and said, "Not now..." Before she could finish her words, explosions and gunshots suddenly sounded ahead.
Soon patrolling soldiers arrived, and the adjutant hurried to Jing Yunchuan and whispered a few words.
"You guys take the lady back first." After saying that, he turned and left.
The noisy crowd outside immediately ran back into the house and hid, and no one dared to come out.
The royalists were so badly beaten that they decided to fight to the death, putting in their last effort and dragging Jing Yunchuan with them to die.
Ji Lingruo believed that Jing Yunchuan could definitely handle this little matter, so she was not too worried about him.
But she felt something was wrong. Why did the soldiers around her fall one after another? Their target was her.
She cursed inwardly, and sure enough, a group of people rushed out.
"This must be the wife of Marshal Jing. She's really pretty."
"I heard that she holds her in high esteem. Previously, the adjutant's sister offended her, and the adjutant was also warned."
In fact, it was also because the adjutant disobeyed orders, not just because of Lin Han.
"This is really itchy. I don't know if Jing Yunchuan will choose to listen to us for your life."
Ji Lingruo's expression remained calm, as if the crisis she was facing was not a big deal.
Those people were stunned, because they all saw the shadow of Jing Yunchuan in Ji Lingruo, and couldn't help feeling a little scared. But soon they realized that she was just an unarmed woman, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
It’s been a long time since I killed someone, Ji Lingruo gently stroked the pistol.
She pulled out her pistol at lightning speed and fired several shots at the men. Her movements were as fast as lightning and her accuracy was very good.
The four people closest to him stared with their eyes wide open. They were killed by the blow. Before they died, they didn't know why the woman who looked so weak in front of them could be so powerful.
Most of them went to deal with the soldiers around Ji Lingruo, leaving only seven or eight people to capture Ji Lingruo. They thought that a few big men would be more than enough to deal with a woman, but who would have thought that they would suffer a great loss.
"Help!" A man held a knife against the neck of a little girl. A large bunch of flowers fell at the little girl's feet. The petals were trampled into mud in the chaos and merged into the ground.
The little girl looked at Ji Lingruo with tearful eyes, her eyes full of desire for life.
The tip of the knife was against the little girl's neck. The man pushed the knife a little further in, and a few drops of blood spread out.
"Let her go, and I'll go with you."
"Throw away the gun first."
Ji Ling threw the gun away decisively, and several people released the little girl and quickly tied her hands and feet.
Ji Lingruo signaled the little girl with her eyes to hurry up, and the little girl understood and picked up the crushed flowers on the ground. These were the items that helped her survive, and although they were broken, the little girl decided to pick them up and put them in her room.
Usually she was reluctant to take one for herself.
Originally, the man who let the little girl go wanted to kill her, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and ignored the little girl who ran away.
Seeing the little girl running away, Ji Lingruo followed them into the car with a strange smile on his face.
The stronghold was ahead. The man driving felt something was strange for some reason. The two brothers in the car behind were too quiet.
"Tietou, A'shun, why are you two silent?"
"Because they are all dead." The woman's faint words rang in the ears of the man driving the car. The ropes tied around her had disappeared at some point, and the two men in the back seat also collapsed on the car.
The man driving the car suddenly felt dizzy and lost consciousness.
The man with braided hair looked at the indifferent and arrogant Jing Yunchuan in front of him, with anger flashing in his eyes.
It looked like the man with braids was doomed and was struggling to survive.
He suddenly saw a car coming from a distance and laughed, "I wonder if the young commander cares about his wife?"
Jing Yunchuan's expression changed slightly.
The black car stopped, but it didn't happen as the man with pigtails had expected: his men took the weak young marshal's wife down, and Jing Yunchuan would have to accept his threats.
The next second, he saw the bodies of several of his men and a woman getting out of the car.
Although Ji Lingruo knew that Jing Yunchuan would be fine, she still came over.
The woman gave a gentle smile to Jing Yunchuan who was standing in front of the man with braids.
