After traveling through time, she just wanted to eat, drink and have fun

Chapter 111: Escape from Death

As for Jin Baoyin, after the female guard left, he did not rush back, but sat on a dry tree stump and started to daydream.

He hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. Every day in the barracks, he either drilled or discussed how to fight, but the results were not satisfactory. He was exhausted by the repeated defeats and reprimands. If he didn't have a mission, he wouldn't want to stay in this depressing barracks. The funny thing was that he might have to stay in the barracks for the rest of his life.

The wind in the forest, carrying the scent of plants, blew through him refreshingly, and he let out a rare sigh of relief. At this moment, he seemed to be integrated with nature, forgetting all his worries and stress.

He sat quietly on the tree stump, letting his thoughts drift. He thought of his adoptive father, wondering if he was doing well now. He thought of his dream. He once wanted to make achievements on the battlefield, but now he felt confused and helpless. In this situation, he might never be able to stand upright in the sun for the rest of his life. But, so what? At least he could save many innocent civilians from the harm of war.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards the military camp with firm steps.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t stand in the sun, at least there is someone who can stand in the sun because of you.

Jin Baoyin dragged his tired body and walked forward with difficulty. It was not until he had walked for a long time that he was found by the soldiers who came to search for him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but soon he regained his nonchalant look and shouted loudly: "Why did you come now? I was almost pushed off the cliff by that woman just now. Fortunately, I was very smart and escaped!" The soldiers did not dare to question his words, but nodded repeatedly, saying that the general was extremely brave.

Jin Baoyin waved his hands in annoyance, then pointed to the cliff where he had just dealt with it secretly and said: "Go down and see if you can find her body. If you find it, bring her back. This general will deal with it personally!" Hearing this, several soldiers could only walk towards the cliff with bitter faces. One of the younger soldiers couldn't help complaining to the people beside him as he walked: "If the general hadn't taken that woman by force, she would definitely still be tied up in the tent now, and there wouldn't be so many troubles."

The soldier next to him looked at him like a fool, kicked him hard, and warned him in a low voice: "Do you want to die? How dare you talk nonsense here! Hurry up and leave, or the general will hear you and give you a beating!"

A trace of fear immediately appeared on the young soldier's face. He quickly closed his lips and limped along with the team towards the cliff. After searching for a while, they naturally returned empty-handed. The only clues they could find were the traces of fighting left on the cliff and the clear footprints left by the woman when she fell off the cliff.

After Jin Baoyin returned to the camp, the commander returned several days later and brought back an important decision: withdraw most of the troops, leaving only a few soldiers to guard the place. It turned out that the commander had learned a lot about the details of the fierce battle on his way back, and he was always worried that Prince Jing would attack their defense because of Liu Yinyin's matter. With their current strength, they were simply unable to resist such a powerful enemy. Once the war started, they would definitely be defeated and would inevitably be severely punished by their superiors. Therefore, when the commander learned that Liu Yinyin and the female guard had escaped, his heart finally settled down a little, so the matter ended without any progress and no one mentioned it again.

Jin Baoyin was the general who led the army to guard this place, which was exactly what he had in mind. However, he would think of the appearance of the female guard from time to time, and secretly wondered: "Will I have the chance to see her again in this life?"

The female guard. That night, while Liu Yinyin was sleeping soundly, the female guard carefully touched the outside of Prince Jing's tent and asked the soldier guarding outside to meet Prince Jing. After a long time, the soldier came out and told the female guard that she could go in. Prince Jing was wearing a dark green brocade dress embroidered with gold threads, sitting on the main seat, exuding an extremely noble temperament. After the female guard entered the tent, she bowed her head and knelt down to salute. After receiving Prince Jing's response, she continued to kneel forward and presented Jin Baoyin's letter to Prince Jing. Prince Jing did not speak, but stretched out his hand to take the letter and opened it to read. After reading it, he put the letter on the fire and lit it. When the letter was completely burned, he cast his eyes on the female guard who was still kneeling on the ground with her head bowed. "She treats you badly?" Prince Jing's voice was calm and deep.

The female guard trembled slightly and replied softly: "Your Highness, the master treats me well." Although she didn't want to stay with Liu Yinyin anymore, the female guard still wanted to leave each other with a last bit of dignity.

Prince Jing seemed dissatisfied with the answer. He frowned slightly and asked, "Why do you want to leave her? The letter said that she saved you and your mother's life?" The female guard's body trembled again. She took a deep breath and said with courage, "Your Highness, the master...she likes you.

But I know that you are of noble status and my master has never been able to reach you. But my master has been stubborn and has done many wrong things with my help, especially the kidnapping. It can be said that we almost died. If it were not for the help of General Jin, we would have become bargaining chips to threaten you. If you don't save her, you will be seen as cold-blooded and ungrateful in the eyes of the world. If you save her, you will sacrifice more people and interests for no reason, and you may even be in danger.

The reason for all this is actually just because the master insisted that I take her to chase you. Along the way, in order to gain a good reputation, she also gave away money and property lavishly. "After saying these words, the female guard seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and even a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She quietly waited for Prince Jing's response, her heart full of tension and anxiety.

The letter was tightly sealed with wax, and the female guard had not read the contents, so naturally she had no idea what was written on it. Seeing that Prince Jing remained silent, she could not help but speak again: "The master did save my life and my mother's life, but my mother had already sacrificed her life to save the master's family. Moreover, I have saved the master's life many times, and it can be said that I have already repaid the previous kindness."

Prince Jing remained silent, his eyes fixed on the female guard kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, as if he wanted to see the truth behind her body. Jin Baoyin's letter did not elaborate on the ins and outs between the female guard and Liu Yinyin, but simply told him that this woman was the one he loved, and asked Prince Jing to help the female guard leave Liu Yinyin safely because of his many years of service to the country.

Prince Jing was actually willing to help Jin Baoyin, but he also knew that things couldn't be rushed. After all, not long ago, he had just told Liu Yinyin that he wanted to draw a line, but now he asked her to let go of his most capable maid. No matter how you think about it, this approach seems too demanding. Prince Jing couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He needed to figure out the whole thing first, and then decide how to properly handle it.

"I can help you, but this may require you to pay a price. Perhaps, I will have to choose to let you escape death. At that time, I will grant you a brand new identity, so that you can start a new journey of life. Now the question is, are you willing to accept this arrangement?"

When the female guard heard this, she was filled with astonishment. She even forgot her status and the environment she was in. She opened her eyes wide involuntarily and looked up at Prince Jing, as if she wanted to find a clue from his eyes.

"Escape and change into a new identity..." She murmured the words that Prince Jing just said, and each word hit her heart like a heavy hammer.
