Chapter 215

The carriage drove at night, the familiar journey, the familiar night wind, Jiang Li sitting in the carriage, but it was a strange mood.

The fate in the world is probably very strange. It is thousands of miles away from Tongxiang to Yanjing city. I didn't expect that she married from Tongxiang to Yanjing and had such a dispute with the Shen family in her previous life. And the gratitude and resentment with Princess shenyurong Yongning turned her into Jiang Li, and many people she knew after becoming Jiang Li, inexplicably made her intersect with Ji Heng.

In fact, the road between the government and Jiang's house is only a year and a half, and she seems to be familiar with it. So that in the time of parting, it also gives birth to reluctance. From the beginning of surprise, I felt that the move of leaving the house at night was really incredible. Later, I became accustomed to it and even took the initiative to go. No one found out when the change happened.

There will be no such behavior and mood in the future. That kind of uneasy, including expectation and peace of mind, complex intertwined feelings, I don't think there will be any more. Jiang Li doesn't know whether she will be sad in the future. Maybe she will be a little sad when she thinks of it, but she really doesn't regret it. Although she left Yanjing and a stable life, she can take her father and bring Xue Zhao back to her hometown, or even travel all over the world with Xue Zhao's ashes, which is also the completion of Xue Zhao's old dream.

For the first half of my life, I have been confined in the house. It's time to fly out. In life, freedom is valuable in the end.

So the corners of her mouth gently raised again, and the previous sadness also disappeared. Even if you want to say goodbye, you should also say goodbye with a smile. Compared with her who just became Miss Jiang Er, everything is much better now than she began to think. Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong's Revenge has been avenged. Her father is still alive, and she can have a future. It's not bad in the end.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the government house. Jiang Li jumped out of the carriage and walked to the government house with Zhao Ke.

Every time she came to the government house, there were all kinds of things. Jiang Li didn't take it seriously. She looked at the government house carefully. Today, she looked especially seriously, as if she wanted to engrave every plant and tree here in her mind and remember it clearly. In this way, when she recalled it in the future, she could also store it for many years, rather than after years. Her memory became increasingly blurred and she forgot what the place she had been.

Her strange behavior was seen by Zhao Ke. Zhao Ke became more and more inexplicable. When he arrived in the yard, Zhao Ke first asked Jiang Li to wait here and report by himself. After a while, Zhao Ke said, "adults are in the study, and the second Miss comes with me."

Jiang Li followed Zhao Ke to Ji Heng's study. The door of the study was ajar. Jiang Li pushed the door open and walked in. Zhao Ke closed the door behind him.

Ji Xuan sat at the table. He was looking at things like folds. When he saw Jiang Li coming, he stood up, didn't care about those folds anymore, walked to the small table and sat down, saying, "Why are you here?"

There were still two tea cups and a pot on the table, and he naturally gave Jiang Li a cup of tea. As he had done countless times in the past, it seemed to him that he was almost used to it. In Jiang Li, it was almost natural. Jiang Li followed and sat down. Ji Xuan pushed the tea cup in front of her, slowly poured tea for herself, and said, "why don't you talk? What's the trouble?"

Jiang Li suddenly laughed. Ji Heng said this, as if every time she came, it was not a good thing, and she came to seek help with a lot of trouble. But on second thought, Ji Heng was also right, and his mouth was powerful. In fact, he handled it properly for her every time.

Jiang Li picked up the tea cup on the table. The tea he drank in summer was dried in advance, with a faint coolness of the evening wind, slightly bitter but fragrant. Jiang Li said with a smile, "in fact, I came today to say goodbye to the Duke of the country."

Ji Xuan's action of drinking tea was a meal. He put down the tea cup and looked at Jiang Li. In his amber eyes, there was an unknown look. He asked, "goodbye?"

"Over the past year, thank you for your care. Although I have always said that my lord needs it in the future, I will try my best to help. My Lord always says that I am lying. Now it seems that my Lord may be right, and I may break my promise." She smiled softly, "I'm leaving Yanjing City, and I probably won't come back in the future. Before I leave, I hope to say goodbye to the Duke of the country, otherwise it's too unconscionable to do such a thing without saying goodbye."

Ji Xuan raised her eyebrows: "what do you mean by this? Won't you come back in the future? Does Jiang Yuanbai know this?"

Jiang Li hesitated, shook her head, and said, "I'm hiding it from him, or I'm leaving the Jiang family and Yanjing."

"This is not leaving, it is escaping." Ji Chen asked, "what did the Jiang family force you to do?"

Jiang Li smiled and shook her head, "it's my own idea."

"It's about Yin Zhili."

Jiang Li stopped.

The young man held the tea cup, but the tea cup lining his hand was particularly beautiful. His expression was casual, but his tone was firm, saying: "the Yan Family forced marriage?"

Did he guess?

Jiang Li thought it was the same. Since Ji Xuan had been paying attention to the Yin family all day, she naturally knew what idea Yan Zhan had made before. It was not difficult to guess why she was in such a hurry to leave.

Ji Xuan frowned, "how dare they force marriage?"

"It's a gift." Now that Ji Heng knew it, Jiang Li was not ready to hide it. She said, "my servant girl heard the conversation between my father and the old lady, and Yan Zhan interrupted at the celebration banquet. When his majesty rewarded me with his merits, he gave me a marriage with Yin Zhili in exchange for his military achievements."

Speaking of this, Jiang Li felt the cold in the room. Because it was a hot summer, the feeling of cooling down was particularly strong.

Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng, and he still smiled, but the smile was a little angry. He leaned back on the chair. It was about night, and his clothes were just wrapped outside, revealing the Chinese clothes inside. The Chinese clothes were also casually open, revealing the collarbone. His skin was white, and the lining of the whole person was particularly vivid and fragrant, which was more attractive at night.

Jiang Li didn't open her eyes and said, "if he really marries me, I have no other way. My father and I seem to like Yin Zhili very much."

"You didn't want to marry Yin Zhili, so you ran away from marriage?" He stared at Jiang Li and asked.

"Yes." Jiang Li answered very readily, "but I have no other way for the time being. I also advised the yuan family not to get too close to the Yin family, but my father didn't listen. There is something I want to ask you, too. If you confront the Yin family in the future, I believe that the Yin family is not your opponent. Can you spare the yuan family and at least save their lives?"

Ji Xuan raised her eyebrows: "No."

Jiang Li said, "why?"

"They are not your real family. Why do you want to protect the Jiang family? Jiang Yuanbai now takes you as a chip. If I were you, I would kill them all." What he said was understated, but the killing opportunity came to an end in his eyes. Jiang LiXiao made Ji Chen not lie.

"Anyway, after I became Miss Jiang Er, the Jiang family also gave me a place to live. I didn't want to threaten the Lord, but I just hope to be worthy of my heart. As for whether the Lord is willing or not, it has nothing to do with me. I will leave a letter to remind my parents before I leave." Jiang Li said, "similarly, whether he will listen depends on the fate of the yuan family."

"You are really kind." His tone was slightly sarcastic, and he didn't know whether he didn't agree with Jiang Li's practice. He suddenly came close and asked, "why don't you want to marry Yin Zhili?"

Why?

The night wind made the shadows of the trees whirl outside, and Jiang Li felt that Ji Heng asked a strange question. She said, "naturally, I won't marry Yin Gongzi because I don't like Yin Gongzi and don't intend to get married. The Duke of the country also knew that I have married people and been cheated and injured by others. Getting married is not a must for me in this life."

"What if you meet someone you really love?" He leaned forward and approached, "are you going to marry?"

He was so close to himself that Jiang Li almost held her breath. She wanted not to start, and ran into Ji Heng's eyes. At first sight, she was surprised at the young man's beauty. Her eyes were narrow and affectionate. Now she fell into her amber eyes, and it was difficult to climb out again.

"No," she forced herself to calm down, only smiling, "I haven't met the right person for the time being, and I don't have to consider these unnecessary problems. When I do meet one day, I'll say what to do at that time."

The girl's posture dodges, but she pretends to be serious. She's really cute. It's clear that she has been married once and was injured once, but she doesn't seem to know how to protect herself. Or whether she's confident, brave or reckless, she still likes people, and won't be affected by some foreign things and become another person.

Maybe Jiang Li now, with her hatred faded, is actually no different from Xue Fangfei when she was a girl.

Ji Heng couldn't help but move closer. He leaned his head and looked at her carefully. His eyes were sharp and gentle. He taught sober people to sink. He said, "you lie."

Jiang Li looked up at him: "how could it?"

"I know the reason why you don't want to marry Yin Zhili." His voice was low and mellow, crawling through people's hearts, crisp and numb, as if he had been hit by acupoints, unable to move, so he had to watch his smile hook people, getting closer and closer, and he said, "you like me, I've known it for a long time."

With a bang, something seemed to explode in Jiang Li's brain. In her panic, she subconsciously denied, "no, I didn't..."

The next moment, her lips were blocked.

The young man's face was close at hand. Jiang Li opened her eyes in shock and saw his eyelashes clearly. His lips were soft and warm, Lingering between her lips and teeth. He held the back of Jiang Li's brain with one hand and took her to his body, deepening the kiss.

No one can still hold it after being kissed by Ji Hu. Rao is the same with Jiang Li. His expression is gentle, but his action is firm. Jiang Li struggled for several times before pushing him away.

She covered her lips, looked at the young man opposite and said, "Ji Heng, you!"

"Angry?" He said, "they call me by my first name." Ji Heng smiled, hoarse voice close again, he looked down at Jiang Li, eyes spoiled and soft, he said: "you like me, I know, then I like you, do you know?"

Jiang Li was stunned.

He looked at her in his spare time, and his happy smile could not be disguised. Jiang Li was embarrassed by his eyes, and she said calmly, "what did you say..."

"I didn't want to involve you so quickly, little girl," he touched Jiang Li's hair and pinned the hanging hair back for Jiang Li, "but you seem a little anxious, and I can't let you run."

His action is natural, as if such a thing has been done countless times, but Jiang Li is a little overwhelmed. For Ji Heng, she thought that the other party really took herself as a friend. Whether it was sympathy or a whim in this care and care, it had nothing to do with liking. People like him probably won't like others. But his words at the moment made Jiang Li have to doubt herself.

"Do you like me?" She asked softly.

The girl's eyes were pure, with sincere doubts. It was really rare. Ji Heng couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead and said, "of course."

Jiang Li said, "you can't lie to me, can you?"

Ji Xuan raised her eyebrows: "I look like a man who can cheat women?"

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "No."

Ji Heng will never cheat women, not because he is more honest and aboveboard, but because he is too lazy to do so. For him, many things are easy to do. Of course, he doesn't have to bother to cheat. As long as he is a little gentle, someone will naturally fall in love with him, one after another.

"So you don't have to leave Yanjing." Ji Heng said, "I'll find a way."

Jiang Li wondered, "what can you do? Yin Zhan's idea is to give a royal marriage. Now that he has won the war, the emperor trusts him. He wants to exchange his military achievements for a marriage, and the emperor won't disagree. He can't openly resist."

"You don't have to worry," he said with a smile, "he won't have this opportunity, and he's not the only one who will ask for marriage."

Jiang Li was stunned: "you..."

"Little girl, will you marry me?" He raised his eyebrows.

He shouted very naturally. It was clear that he knew he was married and a wife, but he always called her by such a intimate name. It also made Jiang Li trance and had an illusion that everything in her previous life was a big dream, and she had already dreamed without trace. She was still a carefree girl, and she could also be cared for in the palm of her hand, which was very important.

"If you don't want to, you can refuse to promise me for the time being," Ji Heng wrote lightly, "wait until the day you promise, but I think, since you like me so much, you will be willing sooner or later, won't you?"

Jiang Li: "No."

Ji Xuan said, "you lie."

"I don't know if you will become the second shenyurong," Jiang Li smiled magnanimously. "I can like a person and trust a person, but now I won't do anything for each other without a bottom line. I'll learn a lesson from a fall. Ji Chen, I have to love myself first and then love others."

She thought Ji Heng would be angry after hearing this, and even think she was just, but he just smiled and touched her head, saying, "that's good, you don't need to get hurt, and I'm relieved."

Jiang Li looked at him. His eyes were more serious than ever before. He didn't lie. What he said was true.

"I never think selflessness is a good thing." Ji Heng whispered, "but I think it doesn't matter if you learn to be selfish. I'll do those things, and you only do what you want."

Jiang Li lowered her head and unconsciously grabbed the fan in her hand with her fingers. It was the fan that Yan Zhiqing gave her. The summer in Yanjing city was very hot. This fan was easy to use, and Jiang Li took it with her. Her actions were seen by Ji Chen, and Ji Chen's eyes fell on her fan, and she paused slightly. The next moment, she took the fan from her hand.

"The fan that Yan Zhili gave you?" He asked.

Jiang Li nodded and shook her head, "it was sent by Yan Zhiqing."

Ji Xuan smiled at the corners of her mouth and slowly showed the fan. There were pear flowers on the fan, but there was a small lotus engraved on the handle. It was originally a fan handle made of white jade. The jade color was very good, and the whole body was snow-white. Such a lotus engraved was really cute and delicate.

Ji Heng calmly said, "Yan Zhili is really big, but there is something wrong with his eyes. What white lotus flower is clearly a cannibal flower that eats people and does not spit bones."

Jiang Li was stunned at first, and then she understood the meaning of Ji Xuan's words. She immediately recovered and said, "how do you know what Yin Zhili said to me? Is Zhao Ke still in the yuan mansion?"

"I'm not at ease to leave my little girl alone in a place like Jiang Li," he said. "Of course, people should stare at you."

If he wants to coax a person, I'm afraid he can't be fooled. Jiang Li felt a little moved. She saw the fan in his hand and said to her, "I have confiscated this fan."

"This is my stuff." Jiang Li Dao.

"Your stuff?" As soon as the corner of his lip tilted, he suddenly reached out to hold Jiang Li's chin, and the other hand reached out his finger to rub her lip petals, warning: "little girl, you can try other men's things later."

Jiang Li was silent.

His fingertips were slightly cool and rubbed on people's lips, but there seemed to be burning. Jiang Lifu thought of the kiss she had just been caught off guard, and her face was surprisingly hot.

In a trance, she only heard Ji Heng chuckle. He said, "I thought you were brave at first. Now why are you afraid of me?"

"I'm not afraid of you." Jiang Li broke away from his hand and said, "it's just a little unaccustomed."

"It doesn't matter. You'll get used to it later."

Jiang Li looked at him and was silent. Ji Heng just waited patiently. After a while, she asked, "will I change your plan? If you want to stop the Yan Family's marriage, it is bound to make the Yan Family notice you. At that time, will it change your business?"

"Yin Zhan has noticed me for a long time. It's the same with or without you." Ji Xuan smiled and comforted her, "don't care."

"I still don't understand what the gratitude and resentment between Yin Zhan and you are. If you don't want to say it now, I won't ask. However, what's the purpose of his return to Yanjing city? Marrying the yuan family, I'm afraid it's not just Yin Zhili's own idea. I'm not a gorgeous fairy. Yan Zhili won't like me once he meets me. Why?"

Jiang Li still felt very strange. If she didn't figure out Yin Zhan's purpose, Jiang Li didn't know how to guide the yuan family.

"Li Zhongnan is no longer good now. The first literary minister is Jiang Yuanbai." Ji Xuandan said, "Jiang Yuanbai has been attracted, and half the forces in the middle of the court have been attracted."

Jiang Li heard that he used the word "win over". Her heart jumped and blurted out, "does he want to be the second king?"

Ji Heng smiled and said, "is there any better reason?"

"Why?" Jiang Li was more and more confused. "If he wanted to usurp the throne, he had been unknown in the clouds for so many years. Why wait until now, when the emperor was young, can't he do it?"

"Your Majesty wants to grow, Cheng Wang wants to grow, and Xia Jun Wang certainly needs to grow. Otherwise, you think, why did the former Emperor expel Xia Jun Wang to the clouds in those days, but it was because the former Emperor found a trace, but there was no more evidence, and he was suspicious in his heart, so he had to expel. In the final analysis, the former Emperor was nostalgic in the end, if I..." Ji Jimian casually said: "never raise a tiger."

"He and you..."

"Shh," Ji Heng made a silent gesture and smiled at Jiang Li, "you don't need to know many things. The more you know, the more dangerous it is. I like you so much, but I don't want anything to happen to you."

He said love words with open mouth, but it won't make people feel bored and hypocritical. Jiang Li also accepted it naturally. The relationship between the two of them, as early as in the initial mutual trial and calculation, accidentally intersected, and gradually became friends, confidants, and even became what they are now.

There seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Ji Heng didn't want to say anything. He couldn't ask any questions. It was just Jiang Li. He really couldn't do it. Just try to find out by himself. Just hearing Yin Zhan's rebellious heart, she was still surprised.

"Father... Won't the Jiang family be implicated?"

"As long as you can't get married with Yin Zhili, there's nothing to worry about." Ji Heng said, "Jiang Yuanbai is a man who has the heart but the courage to go against this kind of thing. The yuan family may not know Yin Zhili's previous idea. Once Yin Zhan shows his ambition, Jiang Yuanbai will naturally retreat."

"I just feel that once the emperor misunderstands that the yuan family is as greedy as the Yin family, he has an antipathy..." she suddenly thought of something and asked, "does the emperor know this?"

Ji Ji laughed but said nothing.

Jiang Li immediately understood Ji Heng's meaning, and Hong Xiaodi unexpectedly knew it. Indeed, Emperor Hong Xiaodi hid deeper than everyone imagined. I don't know if Yan Zhan knows this, but maybe even if he knows this, he doesn't care. For Yan Zhan, his army is strong, and the imperial army of Yanjing city is not his opponent.

But Ji Chen seemed not afraid of Yin Zhan's meaning.

Is it the lost tiger amulet

"Little girl, stop thinking." He said, "as long as you stay at home, everything will be solved."

"Ji Heng," Jiang Li looked into his eyes, "don't have an accident."

Ji Hu paused, and then laughed. He laughed particularly perplexing. The tears on his eyes were as red as blood. His voice was gentle and said, "good."

The night was just right, and the moonlight was neither thick nor light. It seemed that I knew that this night was worth remembering, so I became crazy and beautiful.

After finishing talking with Ji Heng, Jiang Li is also ready to go back. She was going to say goodbye to Ji Heng today, but somehow, she was confused. Instead, she opened her heart to the other party. She was an honest person. Before revenge for the Xue family, there was still some room for her. After the revenge had been avenged, the past was like smoke, and she was as open-minded as before.

But fortunately, the other party also likes her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth.

She once thought that after loving someone once, she would not easily fall in love with another person and believe in another person, but it was probably unreasonable to like this. It is also a good thing that she can continue to love without fear of injury. Father and ah Zhao will be happy for her if they know.

Of course, this time, she will not blindly lose herself for each other and become another person. Love is never supported by one's compromise.

With these in mind, she went out with Ji Heng. Ji Heng held her hand. This time, he didn't hold Jiang Li's sleeve anymore. His palm is slender and wide, holding Jiang Li's hand in the palm, as if he would never loosen it for a lifetime.

"Laughing so happily." Ji Heng said, "it seems that you like me very much."

"Hold it so tight," Jiang Li immediately fought back, "it seems that you are afraid of me running away."

"What's terrible," he snorted, "if you run to the ends of the earth, I'll always find a way to catch you back."

Jiang Li sneered and didn't bother to tell him that Ji Xuan was going to send him to the carriage at the gate of the house. When they passed the flower garden, they found a man sitting beside the yard. The man was laboriously holding the chair with his hands in a strange posture.

Seeing the figure, Jiang Li felt a jump in her heart, and inexplicably asked, "that's..."

Ji Heng also looked over there.

"That's the boy who was saved before," Zhao Ke explained. "His leg was broken, and miss situ wouldn't let him walk. In the daytime, he was sitting in a wheelchair. The boy was suffocating in his heart, always refusing to admit his fate, and secretly ran out to practice walking at night." He sighed, "it's a hard bone, but it's a pity that his martial arts are useless. Miss situ also said that he can't stand up anymore. Why is he so stubborn?"

Jiang Li looked at the back, and the man stood up very hard, as Zhao Ke said. The chair was leaning against the window of the door. He put his hands on the windowsill and tried to prop up his body. However, with the effort of the boss, he only propped up a little, and soon fell down with a "plop", and Jiang Li felt pain for him.

Ji Xuan said, "let him go back."

Under the shadow of the moon, the shadow was really sad. Even if there was only a vague back, it was strange that Jiang Li suddenly felt heartache. She didn't know why, so she stopped and stared at the person on the chair, but she didn't know why she did it.

Zhao Ke got Ji Heng's order, so he walked to the man and shouted, "ah Zhao, stop practicing. It's so late, and others have to sleep. The adult asked you to go back and rest."

Hearing this, Jiang Li suddenly shivered all over. She asked, "ah... Zhao?"
