Chapter 425: The Governor Has Always Controlled People's Hearts
Looking at the newcomers with confusion, Yi Qianhuan found that these sturdy men who seemed to be dressed very simply looked very familiar.
After a quick look, she recognized the other party's identity: "Are you all people around the governor?"
"Greetings to the State God. Lord State God, please rest assured that I will accompany Duke Yi on his investigation. I will do my best to protect Duke Yi's safety."
Yi Qianhuan was not reassured. She swept her eyes over these Jinyiwei and Yi Qianyuan, and understood everything: "Brother, you said you heard the news. Did you hear it from the governor?"
Yi Qianyuan blinked, still trying to argue: "Things are not what you think... I didn't want to listen to Ji Chilian, but that man was so annoying, he kept whispering in my ear! You also know that his intelligence is always accurate, and he even brought out Prime Minister Shen to guarantee it, how could I not believe it!"
"The Governor has always been able to manipulate people's hearts." Yi Qianhuan sighed heavily.
"That's right! Besides, the Apocalypse Cult is pressing hard now, and we really need someone in the capital. You and Lord Du need to stay here and look after your two nephews, so naturally this matter can only be left to me." Yi Qianyuan saw Yi Qianhuan frowning, and patted her shoulder with one hand, "Huan'er, don't worry about me. Since this information comes from Ji Chilian, I am at least 50% sure that I can find clues. I can't keep being sad, I have to find something to do so that I don't always think so much."
"Brother..." Yi Qianhuan was a little hesitant at first, wondering whether he should let someone else investigate on his brother's behalf.
But the last words of the eldest brother touched her deeply.
She could understand her elder brother's feelings.
Even though Bao Huaer did many wrong things, there was indeed love between her and her eldest brother.
Yi Qianhuan took a deep breath, and the desire to stop him disappeared at this moment.
"Brother, go ahead if you want to, but there is one thing I want you to remember. No matter what, I hope you can always put your own life first. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens to you in Xijiang Country, I will avenge you even if I risk my life to not become the god of this country."
"Huan'er..." Yi Qianyuan was moved and his eyes turned red instantly.
"Girl, don't you believe in big brother's ability? Don't worry, I will return safely no matter what!" Yi Qianyuan pressed the corner of his eyes, revealing a hearty and brilliant smile, and deliberately changed the subject.
Unfortunately, it was time to depart, so Yi Qianyuan had to say goodbye to Yi Qianhuan and leave with the Jinyiwei.
Yi Qianhuan quickly told Yi Mobao and Shen Yubao about Yi Qianyuan's departure.
The two brothers were studying, and after hearing what Yi Qianhuan said, they looked at each other.
Afterwards, without any extra words, the two brothers ran out at the same time and hugged Yi Qianhuan's thighs.
Yi Qianhuan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked with a smile: "What are you doing?"
"Of course we are comforting mother. My uncle left suddenly, and mother must be very disappointed." Yi Mobao's words made sense.
"Don't be sad, mother. We are here to accompany you!" Shen Yubao hugged Yi Qianhuan tightly and raised his little face to look at her: "Mother, are you feeling better?"
Yi Mobao followed Shen Yubao, and the two children raised their cute little faces together, just like two little angels!
The gloom in Yi Qianhuan's heart disappeared in an instant.
"With you here, mother feels much better." Not wanting to talk about such sad topics anymore, Yi Qianhuan changed the subject, "Tonight is the Wanyue Festival. Mother will take you to the city for a walk at night."
Yi Mobao and Shen Yubao both showed joy in their eyes.
"Wow! Mommy is so nice!"
"Mobao, let's make a lantern together. When night falls, every household will light lanterns to pray for blessings. Let's make more lotus lanterns so that we can pray for good luck at that time."
"But don't we have mother, the national god, in our family?"
"Oh, this thing is mainly for good luck. As long as the intention is there, lighting the lanterns will make it lively."
"Yubao is right. We in Yunzhao Kingdom believe in gods, and everyone can pray for blessings. In the past, these matters were handled by Granny Qin. You can go to Granny Qin and she will teach you what to do." Yi Qianhuan provided the two children with a direction.
Yi Mobao and Shen Yubao hit it off immediately and ran out calling Granny Qin.
As night falls, the streets become filled with joy.
The bustling streets are filled with people, young and old, most of whom are families with their children out for fun.
Wearing a veil on her face, Yi Qianhuan walked among the crowd without any makeup, and even had only a silver hairpin in her hair. Her lavender dress glowed with a faint mysterious luster under the night light, and she brought a faint fragrance wherever she passed, attracting passers-by who frequently turned their heads to look at her.
At this moment, a naughty child on the road chuckled, talked to his family while backing up, and bumped directly into Yi Qianhuan.
"Be careful." Before the child could touch Yi Qianhuan, Ji Chilian reached out and pressed on the child's shoulder to stop the child's movement.
"Sorry, I didn't see it..." There was panic in the child's eyes. He turned his head and looked behind him, and was stunned.
Under the moonlight, Ji Chi Lian, dressed in a crescent-shaped white robe, was not as serious as usual. His black hair was casually tied up, and his whole body was extraordinary. It was hard to tell that he was the dreaded Nine Thousand Year Old.
The seven or eight-year-old boy seemed to be seeing such a handsome man for the first time. He was so shy that he couldn't even say a word: "Yes, I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, follow your family and don't get lost with them." Yi Qianhuan waved his hand and watched the little boy disappear into the crowd.
"The Governor is in a good mood today." Yi Qianhuan heard that on festivals like the Wanyue Festival, the Beifusi would be very busy and needed to maintain law and order in the entire city.
As the governor of Beifusi, Ji Chilian naturally had to lead the Jinyiwei to be busy, so she originally thought that Ji Chilian was not free to come today.
Unexpectedly, after dinner tonight, Ji Chilian showed up at the gate of the National God's Mansion on time, even dressed like an ordinary young master.
"You have to take some time out to spend time with the children occasionally." Ji Chilian said this, but he had no intention of getting close to Shen Yubao and Yi Mobao. Instead, he stayed around Yi Qianhuan.
"Daddy is clearly lying." Shen Yubao came close to Yi Mobao and whispered in his ear, "Daddy was always busy during the Wanyue Festival in previous years and rarely accompanied me. This year, he must have come with mom and us!"
"Do we need to guess? Look, he has been sticking to our mother like a dog-skin plaster since just now." Yi Mobao said this, already eager to make a move.
Shen Yubao saw through Yi Mobao's thoughts at a glance and pulled his arm to stop him: "Mobao, don't forget the agreement between you and me."
