Chapter 447 Rushing
"Sister, brother-in-law, this trip back to the capital is fraught with danger. You must be careful. If you see Mother, please tell her that Xiao Mo misses her very much. I will rush back to Luoyang as quickly as possible and go to the capital with Sister Ziyuan to meet you."
Sikong Mo's face was tense, and his eyes showed undisguised worry as he stared intently at Sikong Jin and Di Beizun.
Sikong Jin nodded, and couldn't help but reach out and pat Sikong Mo's head. Sikong Mo seemed to have grown noticeably taller than her now. Seeing him like this, Sikong Jin felt a sense of relief. "It's alright, don't worry! Even if something unexpected happens when we go back, you're still here, aren't you? You have to take good care of yourself, okay?"
"sister……"
Sikong Mo called out softly, his eyes filled with a mixture of reluctance and complexity. He looked at Sikong Jin for a while before slowly turning his head to look at Di Beizun, who had remained silent to the side.
Like Sikong Jin, Di Beizun was also hidden under a large black cloak. His usually cold and beautiful face softened slightly, and as he met Sikong Mo's gaze, his deep, clear voice rang out clearly in the desolate night.
"I will naturally protect her if she stays with me."
Upon hearing Di Beizun's words, Sikong Mo's tense and handsome face relaxed slightly.
He had personally witnessed Di Beizun's formidable strength. Even the Heavenly Saint Emperor's hundreds of terrifying assassins were no match for him and his elder brother. Presumably, the two of them working together should be able to safely reach the Great Yong Imperial City.
As long as we can reunite with Protector Changfeng and the others, we won't have to worry so much about what comes next.
"Alright, go back now. Your older brother has traveled all over the country for years, so I naturally know how to take care of myself. But you, the journey back to Luoyang is also very long, so you need to be careful. Go back now, I'm leaving!"
As Sikong Jin spoke, she pulled at her cloak and turned to walk toward her horse.
"Brother, wait a minute. Take this medicine; you might need it on the way. The white bottle is for treating external wounds, and the black one is for treating internal injuries..."
Upon seeing Sikong Jin mount her horse, Sikong Mo hurriedly handed her two small porcelain bottles.
Sikong Jin nodded without refusing, and put the item into her sleeve. "Alright, I'm leaving now. Once we rescue my mother, the three of us can be reunited."
"Yes, elder brother, Your Majesty! Take care on your journey!"
"Take care, you too!"
Sikong Jin turned to the side, clasped her hands slightly to Feng Yang, and then spurred her horse to gallop into the night ahead with Di Beizun.
As the figure in front of him gradually disappeared into the night, Sikong Mo remained motionless for a long time until Feng Yang, who had also been standing for a long time, came up to him, and only then did Sikong Mo react.
“Brother Fengyang, are you and His Majesty in great danger? I heard from Protector Changfeng that the capital of Dayong is very unstable. He has been there for a long time and has not sent back a single letter. I am a little worried.”
Sikong Mo blinked his bright eyes at Feng Yang, a hint of unease gathering deep within them.
Feng Yang listened, then turned his gaze away from the vast darkness of the night and looked at Sikong Mo, comforting him, "Don't worry, Lord Sikong is under His Majesty's protection, he will definitely be alright."
Feng Yang had the utmost respect and admiration for Emperor Beizun. Having followed him for many years, he had never seen any problem that could stump His Majesty. Moreover, His Majesty was a top expert in the martial arts world, and to this day, no one could match him.
Therefore, Feng Yang is very confident about this.
Hearing this, Sikong Mo felt much relieved. He nodded, took a deep breath, and suddenly said, "With someone like His Majesty protecting her, Father will be very happy. I hope that when we go back this time, Mother will also approve of my brother-in-law. That way, my sister might be able to marry His Majesty."
During this time, Di Beizun had already completely subdued Sikong Mo, and now Sikong Mo also hoped that Sikong Jin could be with Di Beizun.
"Little Mo, His Majesty would be very happy to hear this! After the matter in Dayong is resolved, His Majesty can marry Lord Sikong. As for you, haha, you will become a Prince of our Great Zhou. His Majesty will definitely grant you the title of Prince directly. You must have never been to our Great Zhou capital, right? Our place is much more prosperous and fun than your Dayong or Tiansheng!"
As Feng Yang spoke, he patted Sikong Mo on the shoulder, turned around, and walked towards the city.
These words immediately piqued Sikong Mo's curiosity, and he quickly followed, "Really? Then Brother Fengyang, what fun things are there to do in your Great Zhou capital?"
"Fun? Of course there are lots, like..."
As their voices faded into the distance, tranquility returned outside the city gates, and the night grew ever more still.
……
Meanwhile, Sikong Jin and Di Beizun headed straight for the official road after leaving the Tiansheng Imperial City.
As dawn approached, the night sky was no longer as gloomy as it had been before we set off. Now, we could see the twinkling stars in the sky. The cool breeze was still blowing, and the night seemed particularly chilly.
Along the winding official road on the border of Hezhou City, a series of clear hoofbeats broke the silence of the night.
Looking in the direction of the sound, two riders were galloping towards the front through the faint twilight.
Both were dressed in large black cloaks, their faces obscured by the cloaks. However, it was clear that the person on the left was slightly petite, with bright, star-like eyes, while the other person had unfathomable, deep eyes.
"Let's find a place to rest. We've been traveling all night, let Tafeng rest too. I need to find something to eat to stave off hunger."
The petite cloaked figure beside him suddenly spoke, slightly tightening the reins and pulling down the hood of her cloak to reveal a delicate, fair face—
Who else could it be but Sikong Jin, who was on her way?
“There’s a pavilion ahead, let’s go there. Put on the cloak from your quiver, Ajin.”
Emperor Beizun nodded obediently, looked at the pavilion in front of him, and said, "It only took one night to cross Hezhou City. At this speed, it may take more than ten days to travel day and night to get back to your Dayong Imperial City."
Seeing this, Sikong Jin spurred his horse and galloped over, arriving at the pavilion where he dismounted nimbly.
"The journey back to the capital of Dayong is long, and we don't know if they can hold on."
Sikong Jin sighed, dismounted, and went straight to the river to wash his hands.
