Chapter 198

Jiang Li was awakened by being pushed by someone.

When she woke up, the people beside her who slept on the ground last night almost fell asleep in twos and threes. Wen Ji disappeared, Zhao Ke was still there, Wen Renyao still held Lin Yao, looked at her and said, "second miss, are you awake?"

"What's going on?" Jiang Li looked around and woke up completely. She asked, "is it over?"

"King Cheng's troops have retreated for the time being, and everyone has gone home." Wen Renyao said, "I shouldn't come again today. As long as I had guarded it last night, King Cheng couldn't attack the city." He approached Jiang Li and said, "Your Majesty has sent General Wu Wei to relieve the siege."

Jiang Li smelled the words and said, "when general Wuwei comes, all he can use is general Pingrong. General Pingrong can't leave the station. Is the king of Xiajun coming back?"

"Nine times out of ten." Hearing this, Renyao stood up. After holding a child in his hand and sitting on the ground all night, he almost didn't stand firm and staggered. Jiang Li also stood up, and Zhao Ke said, "second miss, let's go back first."

Although Jiang Li didn't know where they said "go back", she nodded.

Along the way, the streets were in a mess. Even if Jiang Li was forcibly abducted when she first arrived in Huangzhou, she still remembered that although Huangzhou City was not as prosperous as Yanjing City, it was also lively and beautiful. Now, after the city was devastated by last night's fire, there are only charred black walls everywhere. There are also dried up blood and bodies on the ground. Some people are kneeling in front of the bodies of their families and crying bitterly, while others are dragging their tired bodies and starting to clean up the destroyed homes again.

As long as it's not burnt out, we must save it. We can't sleep on the street in the next days. In front of those doors that could not be saved and burned directly to ashes, the owner of the house sat at the door and cried loudly. The cry was so loud that Ansheng's place of establishment was so destroyed that no one was sad. These cries spread to people's ears and made people sad. Overnight, many families were separated from their families. These people lived well in Huangzhou City on weekdays. Who would have thought that this natural and man-made disaster would suddenly fall on them. It was really a disaster without provocation and the world was changing.

Jiang Li sighed and sighed all the way. When she came to the gate of Huangzhou City Government, she saw several rows of people in black lying neatly at the gate of two stone lions. These people in black were all dead, but there were no wounds on their faces, and there were no unnecessary wounds on their bodies. They were all killed with one knife. Some corners of the mouth shed dirty blood.

Jiang Li asked, "these are the people who came out to prevent fire last night. Those who were arranged by Cheng Wang in Huangzhou City?"

Zhao Ke said, "yes. Adults have sent people to search their whereabouts. These people are dead, and they can't ask anything. If they are caught, they will be killed. That's all they have found, but it doesn't guarantee that there are no evils left in the city, so the second young lady must pay attention to safety."

Jiang Li nodded, "I know."

Zhao Ke continued to walk with Jiang Li and Wen Renyao. At the end of the road, a house finally appeared. The house was probably burned, but the fire was soon put out, so except for the scorched black at the door frame, the rest of the place was still intact. Zhao Ke and Jiang Li walked in, and Wenji was already inside. After walking to the hall, I saw Lu Ji. Lu Ji may have stayed up all night, looking tired. The neat beard he came to repair has become a little messy at the moment. Seeing Jiang and Li, he said, "you're back."

"Lu Ji, why do you look so tired?" Wen Renyao said, "rest when you are tired. Don't hold on."

Lu Ji was about to say something. His eyes fell on Lin Yao in Wen Renyao's arms. When Lin Yao saw Lu Ji looking at himself, he turned his head and buried his head in Wen Renyao's arms. The boy is delicate and cute, and even his character is as timid and shy as a girl. In addition, he has just experienced great changes at home, and he is very distrustful of people.

"Where did this come from?" Lu Ji asked.

"Miss Jiang Er saved her from the assassin last night. Her parents, brothers and sisters were all gone, and he escaped alone. I looked at him like this, which was very suitable for our 'Fairy gate', thinking about whether to take him as an apprentice."

"Apprentice?" Jiang Li did not know the idea of Wen Renyao, and asked in surprise, "what is suitable for the 'shaman gate'."

Wen Renyao was calm: "People like us, who reveal the secrets of heaven and tamper with other people's fate, are just the opposite of life. Of course, God won't allow it, so people like us are born to be the lone star of Tiansha. Cough, of course, this is just one meaning. The disciples of 'qixianmen' are about to change from childhood, and their parents, wives and children have all died. The same is true of me. I am an orphan, and my father entrusted me to master when he died. I went down the mountain so many times In, he never confiscated his apprentices, because most of those whose families died were too old. Even a young man who wanted to revenge for his family, as soon as I said I would take an apprentice, they kicked me out. This little guy is good. He is much younger than me, and the enemies of his parents and family have been solved. There is nothing to worry about in the world. He is best suited to come to our sect and be my apprentice. "

He said a lot eloquently, and Jiang Li stared dumbfounded. She said why Wen Renyao always stared at Lin Yao before, thinking Wen Renyao was a curious child. Unexpectedly, it was this idea. Jiang Li said, "anyway, even if I heard that the childe wanted to accept an apprentice, I'd better ask Lin Yao's idea. It's really his business."

"Nature, nature." Wen Renyao answered, but he didn't take Jiang Li's words to heart at all. Jiang Li sighed and didn't say much to him. At this time, I really don't care about these things. It's better to appease Xiao Lin Yao first. Later, I'll talk about it later.

Lu Ji said to Jiang Li, "adults are in the house."

Jiang Li looked at him, and Lu Ji replied, "if the second Miss wants to say something, she can go to the house to find an adult." He stood up and said, "I'll take a rest for two hours first. When I hear someone, you keep the door well. Zhao Ke and Wen Ji have also been tired all night. Let's have a rest." With that, he turned to the other room and closed the door.

Wen Renyao shrugged his shoulders and said to Jiang Li, "I'll take this boy back to the room first."

Jiang Li stood in front of Ji Heng's door, hesitated, and pushed the door open.

The people in the room are sitting at the table.

After the night attack last night, it began to rain in the morning. It continued to rain, and the sky became gloomy. The morning in the room was like the evening. When Jiang Li walked in, he could only see a figure. When he was close, he saw Ji Xuan leaning on the wooden chair, slightly closing his eyes.

She sat down on the chair next to Ji Heng.

Hearing the movement of Jiang Li, he opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Li.

"Sorry," said Jiang Li, "I didn't mean to wake you up."

Ji Heng smiled lazily. Although he didn't say anything, he could feel that it was not easy to defend the city this day. Although Jiang Li didn't see it with her own eyes, the crazy Cheng Wang had been prepared for a long time for last night. Those who wanted to keep it down, I'm afraid they also made great sacrifices.

Jiang Li's eyes fell on Ji Heng again, probably for convenience. He didn't wear red clothes, but black armor clothes. This made his usual perplexing momentum fade, and became cold and Chen su. However, when he laughed, it was meaningless, as if he were an outsider.

In his black clothes, I couldn't tell whether he was injured or not. Even if there was blood, I couldn't see it. Jiang Li asked, "are you... OK?"

"Of course." Ji Heng said, "I heard you saved a child?"

"Yes, the child's family is dead."

"Jiang Yuanbai will die of anger." Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows. "He is as cunning as a fox, but he has a daughter who loves people all over the world."

"It's not pity for people all over the world." Jiang Li said faintly, "I just think of Zhao. Zhao was like this when he was a child."

Ji Heng stopped talking. He knew that Jiang Li was also Xue Fangfei. Of course, he knew that Xue Fangfei had a brother, Xue Zhao, who was later killed by Princess Yongning. Besides Xue Huaiyuan, the Xue family has only such a pair of sisters and brothers. But I think the two brothers and sisters have deep feelings. How much did Xue Zhao hit Xue Fangfei after his death.

"Then keep him." Ji Xuan said, "let him follow Xue Huaiyuan."

Lin Yao has no parents, Xue Huaiyuan has lost his son, but he can be a companion.

Jiang Li smiled, and Ji Xuan thought about the long term. She looked at Ji Heng again and asked, "won't King Cheng continue to attack the city? When he gets the news that general Wu Wei is coming, he will go to Yanjing immediately."

"Of course." Ji Heng said, "all the way from Huangzhou to Yanjing, there are Chengwang's soldiers and horses. When he kills Yanjing, the soldiers and horses are strong and unstoppable. Even standing there is enough to upset the people of Yanjing."

"But isn't the king of Xia Jun coming?" Jiang Li said, "Your Majesty has no choice but to recall the king of Xia Jun. when your majesty didn't ascend the throne, the king of Xia Jun went to the northwest. For so many years, your majesty probably has no other ideas about the king of Xia Jun and won't be wary."

Ji Xuan turned her head and quietly looked at Jiang Li. His amber eyes were dark and bright in the bright and dark light, without the amorous scene, and there were more things that Jiang Li couldn't understand.

"Guogongye," Jiang Li said after a moment of silence, "what you really want is the king of Xia Jun?"

Ji Heng didn't answer.

Jiang Li said to herself: "At that time, I didn't know why the late emperor wanted to expel Xia Jun Wang to the northwest, but Xia Jun Wang stayed in the Northwest for many years. His majesty had no reason to recall him. Unless Cheng Wang had an accident, and when Cheng Wang had an accident, Xia Jun Wang would return to Beijing. All this was due to the situation of three points in the dynasty caused by the Duke's painstaking efforts. Otherwise, if either side fell first, the time for Xia Jun Wang to appear would be wrong. Maybe Xia Jun Wang would return to Beijing sooner or later, maybe not It is now, and it will be in the future. The reason why the Lord chose such an opportunity is simply that this opportunity is not the most perfect for the king of Xia Jun. "

"But I still have one thing to understand," said Jiang Li. "If you want to deal with Yin Zhan, you can use other methods. Why do you want to use war, and openly recall Yin Zhan to Yanjing. I don't know why..." she bowed her head, "It reminds me of the Xue family and Princess Yongning. I tried my best to avenge the Xue family and lead Princess Yongning into the eyes of the world, because only in this way Can Xue Fangfei's death be seen again. I am to overturn the case for Xue Fangfei. What are you for?"

Her voice was clear and gentle, and she talked slowly, as if she were telling a gentle story. The dim light outside shone on her side face, and the erythema on the girl's face was blurred and indistinct, revealing a delicate outline.

The young man gave a low smile, but his voice was still meaningless. He said, "just by what you said just now, you can die."

Jiang Li said, "of course I know."

"Then you ask?"

"I hope I can help."

Ji Heng was not aggressive. He didn't know whether he was tired or didn't want to talk about it. He just said, "you can't help, don't waste your energy."

Jiang Li frowned, and he closed his eyes again, as if extremely tired.

He still didn't answer Jiang Li's question, but he didn't deny Jiang Li's guess. Jiang Li had slept for a while and was not sleepy, so she sat beside Ji Heng in a daze.

From a distance, it looks like watching him.
