Chapter 480 I Want to
"What happened to Master Xiao Jiang's foot?"
The imperial guard next to her saw her limping towards him and asked with concern.
Jiang Yueyang waved her hand, "It's okay, I just twisted it accidentally."
When she came out, she accidentally stepped on her official uniform and fell forward. If she hadn't opened the protective shield in time, she would have twisted her ankle.
In order to prevent the protective shield from being triggered at any time and arousing suspicion, Jiang Yueyang set the limit for triggering the protection relatively high.
Dangers like falling or being slapped will not trigger the protective mechanism of the shield.
Hearing his words, the imperial guards subconsciously glanced at her feet and asked in confusion: "Then why hasn't Master Xiao Jiang returned yet?"
"I……"
He paused, and with a snap, Jiang Yueyang slapped the palm of the imperial guard, killing a bleeding mosquito with his own hand.
Imperial Guards: "..."
Seeing that the mosquito was so fat, Jiang Yueyang stretched out his hand in front of the guard and asked curiously: "Brother Guard, don't you feel itchy when you are bitten by a mosquito?"
"Of course it's itchy, I didn't feel it just now." The imperial guard lowered his eyes and glanced at the mosquito corpse on her palm. "Master Xiao Jiang, you have a good eye."
Jiang Yueyang shook off the mosquito's body and wiped her hands on her clothes without any hesitation.
She raised her chin proudly, "Of course, my eyesight is very good, even at night."
At this time, Guyu took a stool from the carriage and placed it under her feet.
Just as she was about to sit down, she caught sight of a mosquito buzzing towards her and killed it with a slap.
"These mosquitoes are so fat because of all the food they eat. You must be raising them very well."
The imperial guards present: "..."
They never thought of raising mosquitoes, it was the mosquitoes that came to their door with their mouths and forced themselves to eat.
Mosquitoes were buzzing around. Jiang Yueyang thought their blood was too thick and killing them would get his hands covered in blood, so he stopped hitting the mosquitoes and waved his hands to drive them away.
Unfortunately, the mosquitoes did not appreciate her kindness and bit her neck when she was not paying attention.
By the time she felt itchy, a lump had already appeared on her neck.
Jiang Yueyang took out a roll of old-fashioned mosquito coils from his sleeve without saying a word, and asked the imperial guards for a light to light the mosquito coils.
After a while, all the mosquitoes ran away.
The imperial guards present found that the mosquitoes were no longer biting them, and they immediately stared at the mosquito coils on the ground in surprise.
"Master Xiao Jiang, what's the name of that thing you burned? Mosquitoes seem to be very afraid of it."
Jiang Yueyang explained with a smile: "This thing is called mosquito coil, it kills mosquitoes."
"Mosquito coils? This stuff is so powerful!" The imperial guards were amazed. "Master Xiao Jiang, we are stationed at the palace gate all year round and are often bitten by mosquitoes. I wonder if Master Xiao Jiang has any extra mosquito coils?"
"We can buy it with silver!" the imperial guard who spoke added, and the other imperial guards present nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Yueyang said straightforwardly, "You want mosquito coils? I can provide them to you for a penny. But there's one thing: you absolutely cannot profit from them!"
Mosquito coils come from the modern era and are not very far away from the world she lives in now. Moreover, the technical content of mosquito coils is not high, so the tax rate is not high and the price is cheap.
On the contrary, things from her world can be sold at high prices.
Considering the special profession of the Imperial Guards, Jiang Yueyang was happy to treat them well. Of course, if the Daxia army also needed it, she could also provide it.
Although she would lose a lot of money if she sold it for a penny, she believed that she would get more from His Majesty.
According to past experience, His Majesty will definitely give her something as a reward. Even if he doesn't, the Empress will.
One treasure can buy a lot of mosquito coils.
The imperial guards were overjoyed when they heard that they could buy such a powerful mosquito coil for just one penny!
"Master Xiao Jiang, don't worry, we bought this for our own use and we won't have any bad intentions!"
How dare they have any evil thoughts? It's not like they want to die.
Jiang Yueyang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "When do you want it?"
"We still need to report this matter to Lord Xie, and Lord Xie should come to you when the time comes."
"Row."
"Master Xiao Jiang, how long can this mosquito coil burn?"
"Well... considering it's open and windy here, it should only burn for about two or three hours. However, I can give you an incense tray to protect it from the wind and make it burn slower."
"Thank you so much, Master Xiao Jiang."
In this way, they chatted with each other, and time passed by unknowingly.
After an unknown amount of time, several figures walked out of the palace gate.
Jiang Yueyang, who was discussing with the imperial guards what kind of people mosquitoes like to bite, did not see Lu Yunting come out in time.
But Lu Yunting caught her voice at once, waved his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to go back, and then walked towards her with a smile on his face.
Shadows fell, blocking the moonlight. Jiang Yueyang and the imperial guards who had finished their shift looked up instinctively.
"Ayue." Jiang Yueyang stood up happily. Several imperial guards walked away with amusement after seeing Lu Yunting recognize them.
Lu Yunting looked at her as if no one was around, and asked softly, "Why don't you go home after leaving the palace?"
"I'm waiting...for my dad to go back with me."
Jiang Yueyang almost said that she was waiting for him, but fortunately she stopped herself in time and changed the subject.
Otherwise it would be too embarrassing, with so many people listening.
As soon as Lu Yunting heard it, he knew that she was actually waiting for him, and the smile on his lips deepened.
He echoed her words and said, "Uncle Jiang and His Majesty are discussing something, and it will probably take a long time."
"Will it take a long time?" Jiang Yueyang frowned in distress.
Lu Yunting nodded. "Do you want to continue waiting? If so, I'll wait with you."
Jiang Yueyang hesitated for a while, then looked at Guyu, "Guyu, you stay and wait for my dad, I'll just walk back."
Guyu did not respond immediately, but hesitated and said: "Girl, your feet..."
"What's wrong with your foot?" Lu Yunting asked quickly, his eyes immediately falling on her feet.
"It's okay, I just twisted it accidentally." Jiang Yueyang answered with a nonchalant smile.
Lu Yunting stared at her deeply for a moment, then turned his gaze towards the imperial guards present and politely requested, "Please turn around."
The imperial guards were stunned, then turned around collectively.
Jiang Yueyang looked puzzled and was about to ask when Lu Yunting squatted down in front of her.
"Come up."
Jiang Yueyang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and her cheeks gradually turned red.
Is he going to carry her back?
Seeing that the person behind him didn't move, Lu Yunting turned his head and called softly, "Yangyang?"
Jiang Yueyang came back to her senses, and thinking that they were already engaged, she stopped being shy and leaned over to lie on his back.
Lu Yunting held her knees firmly with both hands, stood up immediately, and walked forward steadily.
The imperial guards heard the footsteps going away, slowly turned their heads, and saw Lu Yunting carrying Jiang Yueyang on his back, and they all smiled.
Lord Xiao Jiang and General Lu are truly a match made in heaven!
Over there, Lu Yunting said a little uncomfortably: "Yangyang, hold on tight."
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang, who had originally grabbed his shoulders, slowly put her arms around his neck and buried her face in the crook of his neck.
The night wind blew, disrupting the heartbeats of both of them.
At first they didn't speak, and Lu Yunting's footsteps were particularly clear in the quiet night.
After a while, Lu Yunting was the first to break the silence, and asked in a hoarse and deep voice: "Yangyang, have you missed me these days?"
Jiang Yueyang tightened her grip around his neck and hummed shyly, "What about you?"
"I really want to."
