Jiang Li stupidly let the man loosen himself. When she saw clearly in front of her, the man in front of her was cut off with both hands from her wrists.
Jiang Li couldn't see clearly how he had his hands cut off. She only saw a little blood light on Ji Xuan's fan. He took out the snow-white silk from his sleeve, wiped the blood on the fan with disgust on his face, and threw it away.
The silk handkerchief fell lightly on the man on the ground, and the people on the ground held their bare hands and howled miserably, rolling, like pain, and the cry tore their hearts and lungs. Zhao Ke came over and stabbed him in the throat with a sword, ending his life.
Jiang Li saw clearly that the other four people had fallen to the ground, and they were all dead at the sight of blood. It was thought that it was Zhao Ke and Wen Ji's handwriting. As for the one in front of her, she probably won the honor of doing it herself, and was cut off by Ji Heng with a fan.
"Dead." Hearing people's remote way, he sighed and folded his hands, "sin, sin."
What a compassionate look. At first, if he hadn't run around, how could he attract these people.
Lu Ji didn't think so, as if he was used to such things, and said to Ji Heng, "then let's continue on our way."
Lin Yao was so young that he kept crying. He didn't dare to cry loudly. His eyes were red and it was painful to look at him. Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng. Ji Heng looked at her, smiled, patted her on the shoulder and said, "it's okay."
Just saying "it's all right" seemed to make Jiang Li calm down. She felt as if her strength had been exhausted, and instantly became tired. He was about to speak, when suddenly, not far away, there was a sound of horse hoofs, mixed with people's curses and shouts.
Everyone was stunned.
Lu Ji said, "no, these people are not stragglers. I'm afraid there are others. There are a lot of people, so I'd better hurry."
Everyone hurried into the carriage. Zhao Ke and Wen Ji didn't dare to delay, so they whipped and ran away. Jiang Li was sitting in the carriage, the mountain road was bumpy, but her mind was still a matter of just now. No one expected that such a thing would happen in the middle of the journey. The soldiers behind them didn't know how many people there were. Wen Renyao and Lu Ji both looked dignified. Ji Xuan didn't have any expression, but Jiang Li knew that things were not as easy as she thought.
Lin Yao sat nervously next to Wen Renyao, with wronged red eyes. He was very good, not very noisy, and the carriage was silent.
Jiang Li was a little upset. When she lowered her head, she was suddenly stunned. A piece of red rope appeared from her neck. It was the red rope with the civet jade pendant. At present, the red rope was still there, but it was light at the bottom. The jade pendant had disappeared.
She was stunned at first, then panicked, and then thought about it carefully. She was afraid that when she was entangled with those soldiers just now, someone accidentally pulled down the jade pendant and lost it. Jiang Li felt a little sorry. It was a jade pendant given to her by her father. As the evidence of Xue Fangfei, she had been careful to keep it, but she didn't expect to lose it here.
But there was no way. We couldn't let the carriage turn around and go back to look for it. I don't know who I'm with. If I happen to meet King Cheng's soldiers, I'm afraid the gains will outweigh the losses. Therefore, Jiang Li quietly grabbed the red rope, pulled it off, pinched it into a ball, and stuffed it into her sleeve.
When she was regretting, Ji Heng suddenly said, "stop."
The carriage stopped abruptly, and Zhao Ke and Wen Ji asked, "Your Excellency?" It's probably also very strange why Ji Heng stopped at this time.
Ji Heng said, "I have something to do. Leave a mark on the way and meet you in the evening."
"No, sir." Lu Ji was anxious when he heard this: "King Cheng's troops are behind. Although I don't know how many people there are, at least it's a team. We're going to leave the mountain soon. If you're alone, what if you meet them?"
"I have my own discretion," Ji Heng said. "You go on, don't worry about me." With these words, he got out of the carriage. Lu Ji wanted to persuade him again, and Ji Heng had disappeared.
Zhao Ke and Wen Ji always listen to Ji Heng's words. Since Ji Heng lets them move forward by themselves, the carriage will gallop again. Lu Ji frowned and said, "nonsense, nonsense!"
Wen Renyao was also surprised. After Ji Heng left, he remembered and asked, "what is ah Heng doing? Why did he suddenly leave? Hey," he lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at it and said, "the direction he left was actually going back. What is he doing?"
"How do I know?" Lu Ji replied unhappily, looked at Jiang Li again, and asked in a good voice, "does Miss Jiang know why the adult went?"
Jiang Li shook her head blankly, "I don't know."
Lu Ji flashed a trace of disappointment in his eyes, sighed and stopped talking.
Jiang Li's heart was also strange and nervous. Along the way, Ji Peng had never separated from them. It's also said that he returned to Yanjing city together. Why did he suddenly leave alone at this critical juncture? What was he going to do? This thing can't be seen by others? Although she knew that Ji Chen didn't like others to spy on her secrets, Jiang Li was still a little annoyed.
This is too worrying.
Just then, her fingertips touched the cold scissors in her sleeve. The moment before Ji Heng didn't cut off the soldier's hand, she also took out the scissors and stabbed the soldier fiercely. Later, Ji Heng saved her. Confused, Jiang Li took back the scissors.
At this moment, she sounded calm. How could she remember... Her scissors stabbed someone?
Jiang Li took out the scissors from her sleeve.
Silver scissors are small and delicate, with a cold color, but there is some solidified red on them, and Jiang Li is stunned. Wen Renyao suddenly saw Jiang Li take out a pair of scissors and said strangely, "where are these scissors from... Second lady, what did you do with him? Why is there still blood?"
Jiang Li's brain immediately floated up at that moment, Ji Heng blocked in front of him, and his red robe protected his body. When he said "don't be afraid", his body seemed to tremble slightly.
It all happened too fast, and she was at a loss, and even ignored some. When Ji Heng stood in front of her, the scissors had no time to take back and stabbed him. Just don't know exactly where he stabbed, he pretended nothing happened, and the red robe covered the wound, so she couldn't see anything, didn't know he was hurt by himself, didn't know he endured pain, and also covered it lightly.
Jiang Li closed her eyes.
He was still injured, and he didn't know what to do alone. However, at present, danger was everywhere, and he was startled step by step.
She can do nothing and help nothing, so she can only pray silently in the bottom of her heart.
Pray for his safety.
……
Zhao Ke and Wen Ji really listen to Ji Heng's words. Ji Heng asks them not to stop moving forward. Even if Ji Heng is not there, Zhao Ke and Wen Ji are always on their way. Just not in a hurry, Zhao Ke and Wen Ji had to stop and make a mark. Jiang Li couldn't understand their mark, but about Ji Xuan understood it. I don't know if they were lucky. When it was dark, they found a thatched cottage in the mountains.
This house should have been unoccupied for a long time. It's probably a straw hut left by people who go hunting in the mountains. Even the door of the house was not closed. As soon as I entered, there were cobwebs on the ground. There are two rooms, each of which has a collapse, but there is no bedding on the collapse, and the windows are only papered. There is a stone stove in the kitchen with some firewood.
"Just live here." Lu Ji said, "at least there is a place to rest."
Wen Renyao went around looking for dry firewood. This time he no longer dared to go too far as before, so he picked up some dead branches nearby. I'm going to burn some hot water. Jiang Li took the broom by the door and cleaned up the inside and outside of the house a little. There was no one living here for a long time, and there was dust everywhere. It was much better to tidy up.
Zhao Ke and Wen Ji looked dignified and walked around the room, probably to check the surrounding situation. It's very quiet around. It seems that few people have been here on weekdays.
When everything was ready, everyone went in and sat down. Zhao Ke and Wen Ji sat by the door and heard that people were sitting on the ground. There was no bench here. They had to find a stone to move into the house and sit on it.
"Why doesn't ahong come back?" Wen Renyao said, "do you think he will be ok?"
"Adults will be fine." Lu Ji said, "I just don't know if I'm in trouble."
"Even if there is trouble, ah Heng's skill should be able to solve it." Wen Ren looked at Jiang Li from a distance: "can it be solved?"
Jiang Li: "... I don't know."
She was already flustered. She didn't know where her scissors had stabbed Ji Hong. If she was seriously injured, would it affect Ji Hong.
"Don't worry," Wen Ji, who was silent, said, "adults have their own discretion. He won't do dangerous things."
This sentence made everyone a little relieved. Ji Xuan had no choice. If such a smart person could really threaten himself, he would not do it alone. He is very good at weighing the pros and cons, and will not make unnecessary sacrifices.
At night, everyone fell asleep. Jiang Li could own a room by herself, because she was a woman. However, she couldn't sleep. Zhao Ke and Wen Ji slept outside to prevent sudden events.
Jiang Li was always restless, so she simply sat up and walked outside. Zhao Ke and Wen Ji built a mattress on the ground and slept on the ground as a bed. Jiang Li just went out and saw a man come in.
It turned out to be Ji Heng.
Zhao Ke and Wen Ji also woke up. Ji Xuan waved to them, and they didn't know. Jiang Li couldn't help walking forward and took Ji Hu to her own room.
Wen Renyao, Lu Ji and Lin Yao are in another room. Jiang Li is afraid of waking them up. She holds Ji Chen. There is no stool in the room, so she lets Ji Chen sit on the bed.
There was no light but clear moonlight. She lowered her voice and asked, "are you okay? What did you do?"
The young man spread out his palm. His palm was long and powerful. In the middle lay a jade pendant with a cute civet cat.
Jiang Li was stunned.
"I found this." He laughed.
