"Grandpa, after watching the play for so long, can you come out for a party?"
The clear voice echoed in the woods at night. The moon was low, almost lying on the branches of the tree tops, illuminating Jiang Li's beautiful face.
Her eyes were clear, not only did she not panic when she was at the end of the road, but she was stretched and transparent, as if she was ready.
People in black looked at her, and the head laughed, "why do you pretend to be mysterious, miss..."
Before the words fell, I heard a chuckle from the depths of the woods, and a scarlet figure gradually came out of the darkness. Under the moonlight, the darker it is, the more gorgeous his red clothes are. The moonlight falls on the black gold butterflies embroidered on the corners of his robe. Those butterflies also want to spread their wings and want to fly. At this moment, they appear to be extremely seductive.
Ji Heng calmly came out of the night, holding a gold folding fan, with a smile on her lips, and said, "nothing can be concealed from you."
Jiang Li looked at him with a slight sigh of relief in her heart.
Ji Heng often likes to send people to stare at him. There is nothing he doesn't know about Tongxiang. Ji Heng is also in control of those who believe in Feng Yutang and Ji shuran to surround and kill themselves. This person loves to watch plays. Ji Heng will never miss such a wonderful play.
Whether it is Ji Chen himself or Ji Chen's men staring at him, Jiang Li believes that they will not let themselves out of their sight. After Ji shuran's men were killed halfway out, she had no way back and could not avoid it. Suddenly, it occurred to her that the person who followed behind her and kept silent all the way might be able to protect her life here.
It's not safe. It's better to stay and distract each other.
Fortunately, there was someone behind him, and even more fortunately, it was Ji Heng who followed him personally.
Jiang Li is much more at ease with Ji Hong. This is actually a very strange idea. Ji Heng is not her friend. Up to now, this is a mysterious man. However, Jiang Li had several contacts with Ji Chen, and Ji Chen didn't mean to hurt her. Of course, Jiang Li wouldn't think that this was Ji Chen's pity for fragrance and jade. Maybe there was something else worthy of Ji Chen's use on her.
It's better to be useful than not. As long as Ji Heng is here, she can be completely sure that she is not the one who died in this battle today. Not to mention Ji Chen's skilled bodyguards, it is the beautiful gold wire folding fan in his hand. Jiang Li has also seen the power of it.
He is not a man waiting to die. Instead, he is full of killing tricks. Anyone who despises him if he looks beautiful will be severely beaten in the face by danger.
Ji Heng's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the killers invited by Ji shuran. Some of them pointed their swords at Ji Heng.
These killers didn't Miss Jiang Li's "Lord of the country". And Ji Xuan's appearance was too prosperous and too seductive. She suddenly appeared alone in the dark forest, just like the spirit in the forest, with gorgeous danger. Maybe it's because killers have an instinct for danger. The black leader asked Ji Heng, "who is your excellency?"
Ji Xuan ignored them, looked at Jiang Li with a smile and said, "the second young lady's acting skills are getting better and better."
"The play is not wonderful, how to attract adults." Jiang Li glanced at the leader in black and smiled even more: "adult, they point their swords at you."
A person like Ji Heng, with a smile on his face, is actually very ruthless and arrogant. Someone pointed a sword at him, which may be an insult to Ji Heng.
The leader in black glanced at Ji Heng's eyes and inexplicably wanted to step back. His fingers holding the sword curled up unconsciously, and he always felt very inappropriate.
Ji Heng didn't care, but looked at Jiang Li with a smile: "why should the second young lady bring trouble to the east? I said, I won't enter the play."
"Did the Duke of China watch so many plays of mine for nothing? If I die here today, the Duke of China will never see my play again, and there will be no pity in his heart?" She looked up and asked.
The girl's face is clean, white and tender, and a pair of smart and beautiful eyes seem to contain infinite prayer. When she spoke in a soft, pitiful tone, the immortal could not help but pity.
However, Ji Heng is not an immortal. He is a devil colder than an immortal.
He just looked at Jiang Li with a smile and said, "it's a pity, but I'm not in the play."
The praying color of Jiang Li was instantly put away. It's hard to imagine that she could pull out so quickly with that moving mood just now.
Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng with a trace of annoyance in her heart. In her previous life, when she was xuefangfei, her face was beautiful, although she didn't think it was a big deal. But most of the time outside, because of the good-looking appearance, it is almost downwind and downwater. In case of conflict with others, the other party will not pursue her when looking at her face.
Beauty only needs to act coquettish, and everything can be captured. She didn't like this method, because Xue Zhao always said that she wasted such a good skin bag in vain, and didn't make a reputation as a witch who brought disaster to the country and the people.
Now she is subordinate to others, and she has to make a poor and lovely appearance, but it is not only that the other party is too hard hearted, but also that Miss Jiang er's skin bag is not overwhelming, and she has not moved the other party at all. Instead, I got such a sober answer.
It's really frustrating.
Ji Heng still looked at her with a smile. He said it lightly, and he didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with being so desperate. Under a pair of narrow and long Phoenix eyes, the bright red tear moles also have infinite customs, slowly filled with attractive scenery at night.
The leader in black seemed to have returned at this moment. First, he said to Ji Heng, "since your Excellency has no conflict with us, the matter is easy to handle." Looking at Jiang Li again, he said, "second miss, your reinforcements don't seem to want to help you, so we won't waste time. Come on!" After saying that, I don't know if I'm afraid that Ji Heng's appearance will lead to long dreams at night, so I rushed directly at Jiang Li. The silver sword tip brought murderous spirit in the night, and the excited leaves fell down!
Jiang Li saw that things were no longer reversed, but the people around him were still sitting on the sidelines, ruthless, Without hesitation, he said loudly: "My Lord, I know why you want to have a relationship with King Cheng, the right prime minister. Now the court is divided into three parties, and although your majesty is declining, he is not in the pool. He is only suspicious. If you want your majesty to trust you alone, you have to support King Cheng to stand up. There are wolves in front and tigers behind. Your majesty will rely on you more in case of urgency. You can be the first courtier. This three-part situation in the court is caused by you, my Lord!"
Jiang Li's words were fast and urgent, and the people in black who came to assassinate were stunned. What became king, what right phase, what and what was this?
Ji Xuan's smile on her lips seemed to condense into ice in an instant.
As soon as Jiang Li's voice fell, a sword tip appeared in front of her, and someone stabbed her with a sword behind her. He rushed forward and died, retreated to the yellow spring, and there was a word of death before and after!
Just then, a slender hand suddenly stretched out, held her shoulder and gently pushed aside. The next moment, a peony was in full bloom, and Ji Xuan opened his fan.
The front end of the fan suddenly seemed to become a sharp blade. Jiang Li could only see the fan waving back and forth. Between opening and closing, the gold embroidery line on the peony petals flashed a small shimmering light. However, in an instant, there was a loud "Dong" sound, and the two people in black who surrounded Jiang Li one by one fell to the ground, with a look of surprise on their faces, as if they were still confused about the cause of their death at the last moment of their lives.
The people in black around were temporarily shocked by the formation here.
No one even completely saw how Ji Xuan shot. Ji Xuan's action was too fast, and Jiang Li stared at Ji Xuan's fan straight. She saw the power of the fan again. Maybe it was not that the fan was too terrible, but that the man in front of her was really terrible.
"Brothers, no matter, let's go!" The leader in black bit his teeth and suddenly called the people behind him to come together!
Jiang Li was able to escape, and saw that there was killing intention in all directions. Without thinking about it, he immediately grabbed Ji Heng's clothes. Ji hen is dangerous, but the enemy of the enemy is a friend. At present, only Ji hen can protect her temporarily!
Ji Heng glanced at her coldly. Before he spoke, people in black in front of him had already poured in. He took a sneer from the corner of his lips, and the fan in his hand was completely unfolded. With one hand, he picked up Jiang Li's back neck collar, and took Jiang Li back quickly. He moves very fast, which makes it difficult to see. He can only see the black butterfly dancing in the corner of his robe, with a strong and strange demon charm.
Under the darkness, he was very fast, and the fan in his hand was like some kind of terrible weapon. When he looked up and opened and closed, large pieces of blood bloomed, like may peach blossoms. The small brilliance flashing on the fan made his back cold.
One after another screams sounded in the forest. At this moment, it was like hell on earth.
Jiang Li subconsciously pasted it beside Ji Heng, but he felt that his clothes were cold, as if he were not human, without a trace of warmth.
I don't know how long it took, the scream outside disappeared. Ji Heng's action also stopped.
Ji Heng's sarcastic voice sounded on his head: "Miss Jiang, the field has been cleaned up."
Jiang Li slowly released her hand, raised her head and looked around.
Under the moonlight, the bodies of people in black were everywhere, and the ground was full of blood flowers, like the human purgatory painted on the murals in the temple.
Ji Heng killed more than ten people alone, and it seemed that only a quarter of an hour had passed.
Jiang Li turned to look at Ji Heng.
The moon slowly climbed up the branches again, as if the situation in front of him was not terrible enough. The moonlight was particularly bright. The pure moonlight and the blood on the ground made people unable to distinguish whether it was a nightmare or a reality.
Ji Heng was standing in the blood, and his robe was bright red, which made people wonder whether the red was stained with blood on the ground. But holding the folding fan, he didn't seem to realize how uncomfortable it was. He just looked at Jiang Li and said, "shouldn't Miss Jiang say thanks to me?"
Jiang Li was speechless.
The next moment, the fan suddenly hit Jiang Li's throat. Ji Heng didn't approach. He even kept a certain distance from Jiang Li, but his expression was unusually cold. From knowing Ji Heng to now, he is always smiling and tired, even though he knows it is his disguise. But when the poisonous beast really shows its claws and teeth, no one will feel cold.
Jiang Li will also feel terrible.
"Miss Jiang Er, as I said, I don't like being in the play. Why did you pull me in?" His voice is very light, like the lingering whisper between lovers, but with inexplicable coldness, inch by inch climbed up people's spine, making people's back cold.
"I can't help it," Jiang Li looked directly into his eyes. Her voice was a little soft, as if she was really sorry. "I don't want to die."
Just now, she could clearly feel that Ji Heng really didn't intend to fight, so she planned to sit on the sidelines. But she must not let this happen. If Ji Heng doesn't do it, she can only die here. Her father is still in prison, and Xue Zhao's death has not revealed the truth. She can't die here, at least not now. So she had to do it.
So she can only tell the secret she has seen for a long time.
I don't know when, one day when she was thinking about the relationship between Ji Heng, Cheng Wang, the emperor and Jiang Yuanbai, she suddenly realized that there was nothing special, just suddenly understood.
Today, the imperial court is divided into three groups: Cheng Wang, Jiang Yuanbai and Hong Xiaodi. But king Cheng was not as stable as he is now before he joined hands with right. At that time, the imperial court could only be regarded as two factions. There was a friendship between teachers and students between Jiang Yuanbai and Hong Xiaodi. If Jiang Yuanbai did not have a heart of rebellion, Hong Xiaodi would not have much fear.
But then king Cheng suddenly joined hands with the right, and the balance between the imperial court was broken. The power of King Cheng provoked between Jiang Yuanbai and Emperor Hong Xiaodi. The friendship between teachers and students was still there, but the trust was gone. Jiang Li believes that if there is evidence of rebellion in the Jiang family one day, Emperor Hong Xiaodi will not hesitate to send Jiang Yuanbai to prison.
Emperor Hong Xiaodi can't join hands with Jiang Yuanbai, but emperor Hong Xiaodi's power is gradually declining, but Jiang Li has felt since last time that emperor Hong Xiaodi, whose biological mother Xia Guifei passed away early, is not as easy to manipulate as it seems. Ji Heng probably saw the ambition of emperor Hong Xiao and decided to stand on the side of emperor Hong Xiao.
There is a kind of person in the world who can do his best and only become one of the ministers of emperor Hong Xiao. It is obviously not what Ji Heng wants. The situation that Ji Heng hopes to appear is to become the confidant of emperor Hong Xiao and the most trusted person of emperor Hong Xiao. Although I don't know what it is for, Jiang Li can be sure that Ji Heng will support Cheng Wang just to achieve this goal.
In other words, at the beginning, Ji Heng tried to support Cheng Wang and let Cheng Wang and you work together to become a threat to the Jiang family. King Cheng provoked, and Hong Xiaodi and Jiang Yuanbai were separated, so the whole court became the third part that Ji Heng hoped for. The isolated emperor Hong Xiaodi chose to trust Ji Chen and let Ji Chen become a confidant.
Jiang Li thought of this and felt a little chilly. Ji Heng plans. I'm afraid no one will believe him if he says it. After all, it requires a long-term vision, accurate plans, and courage to be afraid of anything. But he just did it, and he did it.
When Jiang Li peeped into the secret, she knew that she must rot the secret in her heart forever and never say it. She knew what Ji Heng was up to, but she didn't mention it at all when fighting with Ji Heng, because she knew that once Ji Heng knew that her secret was spied, the first thing to do was to shut up.
Diseases come from the mouth, and disasters come from the mouth. Choosing food without diseases and choosing words without disasters. This is Jiang Li's idea, but people are not as good as heaven. She didn't expect to be forced to a dead end tonight. Ji Heng was beside her, but she didn't mean to make a move. So she can only kill with a knife.
She made Ji Heng's secret public in front of those killers. Ji Heng would never allow anyone who knew his secret to live in the world. Those killers were doomed to be silenced.
"Miss Jiang Er, you know," he said slowly, "there is no way to keep alive such a thing as killing."
He can kill those killers, and he can also kill her. First, she knew Ji Heng's secret, and second, she actually calculated Ji Heng with Ji Heng's secret. These two charges alone were enough to make her have no reason to live.
The fan was cold and cool, resting on his fragile neck. His eyes lingered on Jiang Li's neck, as if with a touch of lingering lust, but when he looked carefully, it was full of indifferent cruelty. The fan approached inch by inch, and the feeling of death was so clear that Jiang Li heard her heartbeat, but her voice was very calm.
"Grandpa, I don't want to die, otherwise I wouldn't say those words." She said.
"Give me a reason why you don't have to die." Ji Xuan looked at him.
"If the Duke wants to make his majesty trust, he is bound to fight between Cheng Wang and the Jiang family. Supporting Cheng Wang is not the purpose, but to better solve it." Jiang Li said, "I can make it impossible for the Jiang family and Cheng Wang to repair, and I can wear away the power of Cheng Wang."
Ji Hong smiled, "how do you do?"
"In the Xue family case, Feng Yutang is just a cover, and the person behind it is Yongning." Jiang Li drooped her eyes. Ji Peng was afraid that she had long known that the case was related to Yongning, and she didn't have to hide anything. She continued: "I want to start the Xue family case. Sooner or later, I will fight Yongning, and I will never die with King Cheng. No matter how my father treats me, my name is Jiang, and King Cheng will count this account on the Jiang family. King Cheng and the Jiang family become rivals. I am the Jiang family, and I will help the Jiang family deal with King Cheng."
"How do you deal with Cheng Wang?" Ji Xuan said, "you are only 15 years old now."
Jiang Li only said four words: "by all means."
Ji Heng was silent for a moment and said, "whether the yuan family or Cheng Wang, they can't stay in the end."
This is what Jiang Li guessed before. Ji Heng supported King Cheng and provoked the yuan family, so that King Cheng and the yuan family could fight and kill each other, so that the power of emperor Hong Xiao would grow. She is bent on dealing with Cheng Wang, but the Jiang family is also in danger.
To be fair, although she is not a real Miss Jiang Er, she has achieved a lot by virtue of Jiang Yuanbai's reputation. Except Ji shuran's mother and daughter and Jiang yu'e, the others in the Jiang family did not have fun with her, but they did not harm her. If the yuan family really fell down, there would be no finished eggs under the nest, and she would have no vitality.
She had to avenge Yongning and shenyurong while preserving the Jiang family.
"Grandpa, I don't know what your final goal is, but if the Jiang family falls, sooner or later there will be a second Jiang family." Jiang Li whispered, "keep the Jiang family. In case the Jiang family becomes your help in the future, what about your reinforcements?"
Her painstaking efforts didn't move Ji Heng. Ji Heng smiled: "I don't need help, nor do I need reinforcements."
Jiang Li: "...."
But instead, she felt normal, because it was hard to imagine Ji Heng having friends and warm family. A poisonous snake lives with a group of Mianyang. It's incredible to think of that scene.
"You haven't convinced me yet," Ji Heng reminded her, "the reason not to kill you."
"I can't find a reason." Jiang Li looked at him calmly: "because of these reasons, I can't even convince myself. But I have unfinished things, and I don't want to die now. If the Lord of the country doesn't let me go, I hope to give me some time, and my life will stay here. When I finish what I should do, I personally send this life up, and I hope the Lord of the country will laugh."
Ji Hu looked at her and said with a smile, "what if I say no?"
Jiang Li was silent again.
After a while, she said, "if it really doesn't work, I'll do it. In fact, I also made money. Originally, I died in these hands when the Lord didn't appear today. Maybe it's very disgraceful to die. Now it's my honor to die in the hands of the Lord. Besides, there are so many people buried with me. It's not bad to think of it. These days, thank the Lord for his care. If there is a next life, Jiang Li will make grass and armature to repay each other." With these words, Jiang Li really closed her eyes, calmly raised her head slightly, and waited for Ji Hu to start.
The fan moves on the white jade neck, like a sharp weapon for harvesting life. Her facial features are clear, clean and beautiful, like a fairy child in the mountains. Her mouth is small and ruddy, and she is a little stubborn when pursed. Her long eyelashes, like a layer of shallow dew, will not fall, tremble slightly, so poor.
Ji Heng's fan swam away and deepened gradually. It was not a gorgeous folding fan, but even fiercer than the blade.
The snake entangled the prey, opened its fangs, lowered the venom drop by drop, and the white rabbit shrank into a ball. Poor, careful, I hope there is still a chance of life.
It approached slowly. The snake letter was cold, and its eyes were cold. With a gentle bite, the rabbit could no longer move.
But it suddenly shook off its tail, twisted its head, and swam away.
Jiang Li felt that the fan on her neck was light, and she felt nothing for a moment. She looked up and saw Ji Heng's flat side face.
Ji Heng said, "you are the first one who thanked me for being killed by me."
Jiang Li said, "really? That's my pleasure."
"Your mouth is so sweet," Ji Heng's lips curled, "are you used to this?"
"No, I'm just doing this to the Lord." Jiang Li nodded and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. After all, she won the bet. She thought, Ji Hong is a soft and hard person, but Ji Hong is not a madman. She kills everyone she sees. Although outsiders said he was moody, in fact, Ji Heng took his life only when someone provoked him.
Once he showed that he was completely harmless and docile, and had no impact on Ji Heng, he was too lazy to start with himself.
"I know you're not as harmless and docile as you look," Ji Heng said suddenly, as if she could predict what she was thinking. "You inadvertently destroyed many of my plans, and I don't like mercy. However," he suddenly looked at Jiang Li, his eyes clear and deep: "you pulled me into the play."
"I want to see the end of this play, the best time, you can't die." Ji Heng said, "so your life is left to you for the time being. I'll get it again when you finish."
Jiang Li asked, "what if it takes me a long time to do it?"
"Then wait." Ji Heng said, "I'm patient, you know."
Jiang Li was silent, and Ji Heng was indeed very patient. Long ago, before King Cheng was grand, Ji Heng began to decorate. At that time, no one would care about these things. He supported Cheng Wang step by step to the point that no one dared to underestimate now. The yuan family's convergence now is caused by this person.
He is more patient than anyone. There is probably nothing he can't do.
But Jiang Li is already very satisfied. It's better if this life is still alive for the time being, or if it will be taken away by Ji Heng one day. After all, it doesn't have to die now. She wants to live, save Xue Huaiyuan from prison, uncover the true faces of Yongning and Shen Yurong, and revenge Xue Zhao alive.
Everything can be achieved only by living. Ji Heng can prevent her from dying today among the people arranged by Ji shuran. She has no reason to resent Ji Heng for her life of revenge.
There is a long way to go. If you save your life, you can always get out of it.
"These people..." Jiang Li looked at the bodies on the ground.
"Don't worry." Ji Xuan looked at her, "maybe you want to pack it up and send it back to Ji shuran in Yanjing?"
Jiang Li thought carefully, "no need. Send it back, she knows that things fail, and it's inevitable that she will think of other ways. I'm really weak. It's better to let her think that everything succeeds. When I return to Yanjing, she will naturally be surprised, which is also a pleasure."
Ji Xuan nodded happily, "it makes sense."
"What is your plan now?" Jiang Li asked, "I have to go back. My uncle doesn't know how it is now. Feng Yutang's people are bent on killing me. I'm afraid my uncle is in danger."
"Ye Mingyu is fine." Ji Heng said, "Feng Yutang's people, the three best killers in Yongning Kung Fu, came to chase you, and you calculated that they were in the swamp." He took a meaningful look at Jiang Li, and then said, "the rest of the people are not evidence, and ye Mingyu can cope."
When Jiang Li heard Ji Xuan say so, she was a little relieved. If something happens to Ye Mingyu because of her, Jiang Li is afraid of blaming herself. Ji Heng wouldn't lie here, but Jiang Li still believed him.
"Let's go." Ji Heng said, motioning her to ride forward.
Jiang Li was stunned. Just now, when she was in a hurry to escape, her foot was twisted and it was inconvenient to walk. She wanted to endure it, but she didn't expect Ji Heng to see it. But now is not the time to pretend, Jiang Li did not think much, propped up, turned over and got on the horse.
Ji Heng walked slowly on his side, and Jiang Li sat on the horse with the reins. The two of them had never been in harmony.
"My Lord, I want to ask you something." Jiang Li whispered, "this life is lent to me, but if it hasn't been given to you, I will die?"
"That's impossible." Ji Ji didn't look back, and his red robe flashed a bright streamer at night. He said, "my things can't be taken away by others, including your life."
