Chapter 223

When Jiang Li finished singing, she didn't know. She just felt that Ji Heng holding her didn't move. She wanted to look up, and Ji Heng's voice rang from the top of her head. He said, "don't move, just stay like this."

Somehow, at this moment, Jiang Li seemed to be able to capture some of his strange emotions, which was a strange Ji Heng, fragile, helpless.

She was quiet and motionless.

The sunlight in autumn was not as warm as that in summer. It was gentle and golden, slowly shining on them. In fact, she should push Ji Heng away. If she is seen by servants, if she has a tongue, it will inevitably be troublesome. But she did nothing.

Ji Heng helped her when she needed help. Even if the help might upset his plan, he didn't care. If she is still stingy with a hug now, it is a little ungrateful. Moreover, his embrace is not as cold as expected. Jiang Li feels very good.

After a long time, Ji Heng fell asleep outside Jiang Li and maintained a position. When she also felt tired, Ji Heng loosened her hand.

He looked at Jiang Li, hooked his lips and said, "little girl, you are so cute."

He seemed to sincerely praise, not to tease or flirt, so Jiang Li didn't feel shy, but asked with some worry, "what's the matter with you? Is something happening?"

"No." Ji Heng mused, "I just want to know when it's more appropriate to see my father-in-law."

Jiang Li said, "it's up to you the final say." She can go to Ye mansion all the time, but Ji Heng is not sure. He may not spend a lot of time in Yanjing city to keep an eye on Yin Zhan.

"Just a few days." Ji Xuan said, "I asked Zhao Ke to give you a message."

Jiang Li nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Yan Family... What action is there?"

Ji Hong sneered, "I'm trying to stay in Yanjing. It seems that I can't hold my breath."

"How careful you are."

"Rest assured." Ji Hong returned.

The short warmth soon ended. Before Jiang Yuanbai came back, Ji Heng left Jiang's house. Although Jiang Yuanbai can't control him now, he will be an uncle personally given by the emperor in the future. If he really wants to enter the Jiang family, he can do it with swagger. However, I probably don't want to speculate with Jiang Yuanbai. I'll go there if you come. Ji Heng is also very happy.

When tong'er and Bai Xue entered the room, they couldn't help laughing. Jiang Li asked, "what are you laughing at?"

"It is said that the Lord of the country is malicious and does all kinds of evil. They didn't see how the Lord of the country treated the girl. The slaves felt that the prince of the Yan family was not as gentle as the Lord of the country. Moreover, the son of the Yan family was gentle to everyone, but the Lord of the country was only gentle to the girl. The slaves were happy for the girl, and the girl didn't see the wrong person." Tong'er said a long string.

Jiang Li smiled, "you know a lot."

In her heart, those original uneasiness and confusion have completely disappeared. The past has completely become the past. Xue Fangfei's caution and caution, revenge and pain are gone. Now she likes herself very much and has a new future.

Just thinking of when Ji Heng will go to see Xue Huaiyuan, Jiang Li is a little nervous for no reason. Would father like someone like Ji Chen? After all, Ji Heng is too manic and impermanent. What will happen to her father Ji Heng? If they disagree, how will she resolve it.

It's really a problem.

……

On the fifth day of October, the weather in Yanjing city was already very cool. Even in the morning and evening, there is the shadow of early winter. Yanjing is near the north, and winter comes early. Jiang Li has lived here for several years, and has become accustomed to it. This morning, she had dinner, put on her clothes and was ready to go out.

Jiang Li plans to go to Ye Fu. She and Ji Heng have made an appointment to go to Ye Fu to see Xue Huaiyuan today. Before going out, it began to rain outside, one autumn rain and one cold. Bai Xue also went to get a cloak for Jiang Li, and Jiang Li got on the carriage.

After getting on the carriage, Jiang Li couldn't help worrying about the next thing.

Jiang Yuanbai meets Ji Chen, and Jiang Li is not worried. On weekdays, Ji Chen and Jiang Yuanbai have met at the Palace Banquet, and Jiang Yuanbai also knows about face. But Xue Huaiyuan is different. In those days, she resigned from the post of minister of the Ministry of industry because she couldn't bear the darkness of officialdom. Ji Heng is used to being alone again in ordinary days. She doesn't know what to say with Xue Huaiyuan. Xue Huaiyuan's righteousness, righteousness, justice, and Ji Heng are two people at all. Jiang Li thought about it, and she only felt miserable. Although it may be better to have Xue Zhao, Xue Zhao often does bad things with good intentions, adding fuel to the fire.

With this in mind, Jiang Li became more and more worried and urged the coachman several times. She wished to arrive at Ye Fu earlier. What if Ji Heng from the province arrived at Ye Fu first and met Xue Huaiyuan first.

Seeing that she was anxious, tong'er was surprised and comforted, "girl, the road is slippery in rainy days, but we don't dare to walk too fast. Today we go out early, and we have plenty of time. It won't be late. Master Ye won't blame the girl."

Jiang Li reluctantly smiled. It was so easy to see the gate of Ye Fu. The carriage driver pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped at the gate of Ye Fu. Bai Xue got out of the carriage first, holding an umbrella. Tong Er helped Jiang Li out of the carriage, and the three walked to Ye Fu together.

The concierge boy opened the door for them. Jiang Li asked, "is there anyone else coming?"

The boy was stunned: "others? No, wow, isn't it just miss Biao coming today?"

It seems that Ji and Li Fang haven't arrived yet. Jiang Lifang breathed a sigh of relief, and the sound of the carriage rang out at the door. This carriage is much larger than the Jiang family's, and looks extremely gorgeous. Jiang Li looked over, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a familiar figure jumped out, followed by his jumping voice, "Miss Jiang, long time no see!"

Jiang Li was stunned, but she was so far away.

Today is not Ji Heng coming here. What are you doing when you hear that people are far away? Next, Jiang Li saw a small head sticking out behind Wen Renyao, but it was Lin Yao, whom Jiang Li had saved from Huangzhou. Since Lin Yao followed Wen Renyao back to Yanjing City, Jiang Li seldom saw him, and he didn't know what he was pulled and tampered with by Wen Renyao. Now he is wearing Taoist children's clothes at a young age, which is quite fairy, and he looks thinner, maybe he is taller.

Then, situ Jiujiu jumped down from the carriage, and then old general Ji. Finally, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a beautiful hand, and Ji Xuan walked down slowly.

Jiang Li stared dumbfounded.

She really didn't know that Ji Heng had come alone. How could she suddenly change so many people. No wonder to use such a big carriage, Jiang Li was stunned and said, "this is... What's going on?"

The group first approached the gate of the Ye family, and no one saw it outside. Hearing the news, Yao Cai said, "Miss Jiang Er, I'm very happy to hear that you are engaged to ahong. Today ahong is going to visit your Uncle Ye family. I think it's not good for him to be alone. As his friends and family, we should also be present. Otherwise, people still think that the government is empty and lonely, although it is true."

"Get out of here," old general Ji shouted angrily, "how can there be no one in the government! Girl Jiang, I heard that you have a good relationship with your uncle, who is also a Jianghu hero. I appreciate it very much! I came to see him specially!"

Jiang Li looked at situ Jiujiu, and his eyes showed doubts. Situ Jiujiu said coldly, "I'm not looking for someone. The wound on Xue Zhao still needs medication. I'll come and deliver the medicine. By the way, I'll have a look at the wound to make new poison."

Jiang Li thought this was strange. Situ Jiujiu was clearly doing good things for Xue zhaohao. Why should she impatiently deny her kindness, but emphasize that it was for "poison making". Jiang Li shook her head in her heart, only saying that situ Jiujiu was a girl with a cold face and a warm heart. She was a little awkward in this matter, so she didn't want people to notice her kindness.

Ji Hong smiled and said, "they are all here to visit. Let's go, Ali."

What he said was also full of ridicule. Jiang Li could think of the scene that except situ Jiujiu, this group of people begged desperately to pick up Ji Heng's carriage and insisted on coming with them.

The boy at the door of Ye's house was also stunned. He never expected that Miss Biao, as usual, would come to Ye's house as a guest. How could he bring such a large group of people. However, this group of people seemed to be different from ordinary roles. They didn't dare to neglect them immediately. They called people over to report, and they were warm-hearted to lead the way.

Jiang Li thought Gu was weird. She walked side by side with Ji Heng and whispered, "didn't you persuade them?"

"Persuaded." Ji Xuan's eyes narrowed, "but don't you think it's better?"

Jiang Li was stunned, and then she understood what Ji Heng meant. From Ji Chen's own point of view, although Jiang Li knows how good she is, not everyone has had in-depth contacts with Ji Chen, and it is understandable not to know what her temperament is. But Ji Heng brought so many people, which denied the rumors that Duke Su was moody and committed all kinds of evil.

If he were such a person, he would never have relatives and friends around him. But old general Ji, Wen Renyao, situ Jiujiu, and even Lin Yao came, which showed that Ji Heng was not so ruthless as rumored. He loved and protected his own people.

Besides, hearing that Renyao is so noisy can probably make everyone happy. Jiang Li can only think so.

Before reaching Ye Fu's courtyard, ye Mingyu had heard the news and rushed to the hall. He first looked at Jiang Li and said, "ah Li, why didn't you come alone?" His eyes fell on Ji Heng, and suddenly there was no sound.

Every time I see Ji Heng, ye Mingyu is a man and won't fall in love with Ji Heng's beauty. He is a person in the Jianghu. He will only feel that the murderous spirit of this person can't be covered up and is extremely dangerous. Ye Mingyu was determined to give Jiang Li to such a dangerous person, but the imperial edict had been issued, and they seemed to have no choice. Seeing old general Ji again, he was immediately photographed by the integrity and perseverance of old general Ji.

After all, he is a general who has been on the battlefield.

Ye Shijie followed, and his pace slowed down. He saw Jiang Li and Ji Heng walking side by side, and Jiang Li's trust in Ji Heng.

This is her most precious thing.

When the two parties met, they were embarrassed. I don't know where to start. At this time, a happy voice broke the silence, and he said, "sister... Miss Jiang ER! Doctor situ!"

Situ's eyes moved in September, and Xue Zhao came from behind with his wheelchair. These days he was in Ye Fu, he looked much happier than when he was in the state government. There were some juvenile characteristics flying on his face, and his smile was still as warm as ever.

"Zhao," said Jiang Li, "let's see my uncle, and we also want to see Mr. Xue and you."

Ye Mingyu muttered in his heart that Jiang Li was certainly welcome to see him, but he was in a mood to bring such a group of people with unknown sources to see him. However, in front of his niece, these ideas could not be expressed, so he squeezed out a particularly false smile and said, "then you first say, I'll let someone see the kitchen."

He doesn't want to talk to a man who deceives a little girl by his beauty!

Ye Mingyu left. Ye Shijie smiled apologetically. In fact, he also saw that Jiang Li's people mainly came to see Xue Huaiyuan. Although I don't know why, the relationship between Jiang Li and the Xue family was originally quite strange. Ye Shijie was a smart man and said, "I'll go to see the third uncle. You go to find Mr. Xue first."

Jiang Li smiled gratefully at him.

Xue Huaiyuan is reading in the yard.

Xue Zhao was lively and learned whip skills from ye Mingyu in the daytime, so he knew Jiang Li came first. Xue Huaiyuan will be late. When he knows about it and wants to come over, Jiang Li has brought people to him.

In front of others, Jiang Li can only call him "Mr. Xue".

"Miss Jiang." Xue Huaiyuan was kind and gentle. He stood up and looked at the group of people in front of him. His eyes first fell on Ji Xuan beside Jiang Li.

The young man's appearance is really handsome and gorgeous. There is charm between his eyebrows and eyes, but there is a trace of murderous spirit. The most important thing is his eyes. He has a pair of amber affectionate eyes, but there is no chaos in his eyes, and his soberness is almost cold.

Only when he occasionally cast his eyes on Jiang Li, there would be a moment of tenderness.

In an instant, Xue Huaiyuan's view of Ji Heng changed.

He lived most of his life, and also passed the king of hell. He had seen the evil heart and the difficult world. He didn't dare to see through the hearts of the people, but at least he could see something more or less. Shen Yurong was so gentle and polite to others, but he hurt the killer to his pillow. Ji Heng, who was so notorious, only showed Jiang Li his gentle side.

Any father is always happy to see his pearl like daughter taken care of in the palm of his hand.

"You are Mr. Xue." Ji Heng said, "Ali often talks about you."

Everyone present was stunned, including Jiang Li, who looked at Ji Heng as if they had seen a ghost. When did Ji Heng talk to people so politely? Not to mention his own grandfather, he just smiled at Hong Xiaodi and Ji Heng. I'm afraid they were all lazy and casual.

Didn't you meet a fake girl? Jiang Li's heart suddenly came up with this idea.

General Ji seemed to be shocked by his grandson's words, and was stunned. In order to recover his recent gaffe, he looked at Xue Huaiyuan and said, "Xue Shangshu, do you still remember me?"

When Xue Huaiyuan was Xue Lingyun, he was still very young. Ji Minghan had not married yet. At that time, the prestige of general Jin Wu was still there. Although one was a literary minister and the other was a military attache, they had heard each other's names. General Jin Wu made great achievements in the war, and Xue Lingyun built the canal to benefit the people.

However, after many years, death, parting, and meeting again, it is such a relationship.

Xue Huai said, "general Ji."

General Ji laughed: "I heard about you later. It's not easy for you these years. Fortunately, ah Zhao is still alive. I don't know. Ah Zhao was saved by my grandson!"

Xue Huaiyuan had known this for a long time, but he still had some feelings after listening to general Ji's face-to-face talk, so he solemnly said to Ji Heng, "thank you for saving my life. Ah Zhao, don't thank you yet."

Xue Zhao gave a cursory thanks for this kind of thing, which he had already done when he was in the government. Now that Ji Heng is already a prospective brother-in-law, he is a family. What's the meaning of going back and forth?

Hearing that people have never had a chance to interrupt themselves in the distance, they are quite unwilling to seize the opportunity to speak, "We are here today because of ah Hong. Although the marriage between Miss Jiang ER and ah Hong was given by the emperor, our ah Hong is not freely given by anyone. Ah Hong is also very happy to be able to negotiate a marriage with Miss Jiang er. We all know that Miss Jiang Er has a long history with the Xue family and attaches great importance to Mr. Xue, so let's have a look and get to know each other."

He giggled and said nothing. So Ji Heng, if it were on weekdays, Ji Heng would have let him get out. Today, however, Ji Heng didn't say anything, but let people talk nonsense.

Xue Huaiyuan's heart was satisfied again.

Jiang Li is already involved in those whirlpools, advantages and disadvantages, and dangers, which cannot be changed. And Jiang Li made her own decision, and no one can change it for her. Even her father and brother must respect her. But now it seems that Ali's choice is not as bad as it looks.

Xue Huaiyuan didn't know who Ji Heng was, but he knew the dispute between old general Ji. Even if Ji Minghan is gone, the grandson raised by old general Ji will inherit some of the Ji family's qualities in the end.

In the heart of general Ji, he was also very puzzled. It should have happened to the Jiang family that such a large family met their in laws and talked with a smile in harmony. After all, Jiang Li is the miss of the Jiang family. However, Ji Heng never mentioned going to the Jiang family once. Instead, this time, he took the initiative to say to him that he would go to the Ye family together.

Go to Ye's house to see Jiang Li's uncle? The old general Ji could barely understand. After all, I heard that Jiang Li and her third uncle were very good, but when I arrived at the Ye family, ye Mingyu just met and disappeared. Instead, he was dragged to talk to Xue Huaiyuan. General Ji is not a fool either. You can see that he came to see Xue Huaiyuan specially.

Jiang Li was better to Xue Huaiyuan than Jiang Yuanbai. General Ji had heard this, and he was very happy at that time. It deserves it. Jiang Yuanbai is so cunning, but Jiang Li is extraordinarily honest and brave. Of course, he will be more compatible with a good official like Xue Huaiyuan, but at present... This seems a little too much?

General Ji turned a thousand times in his heart, but he didn't show it at all. Because he knew that even if he said, no one would answer him. It's all right. It's always for his grandson to see his in laws. It doesn't make any difference for him to see Jiang Yuanbai or Xue Huaiyuan. It's Jiang Yuanbai who will cry when he knows that it's not him. What else does he care about? Let him go!

With this in mind, general Ji quickly put aside his doubts and went to the room with Xue Huaiyuan to sit down at the tea table, drinking tea and talking about the past eventful years.

This time, they left the others in the yard.

Jiang Li was a little stunned, which was really beyond her expectation. General Ji may have not seen his old friend for a long time, but it was on the rise for a while, and Xue Huaiyuan became the person to talk with him.

Jiang Li reluctantly looked at Ji Heng, who said with a smile, "it's all right."

Jiang Li had to be silent. Hearing that people looked at Xue Zhao sitting in a wheelchair and asked him, "master Xue, what are you holding in your hand? Is it a whip?"

"Well." Xue Zhao said with a smile, "master Ye San taught me a set of whip techniques and gave me a whip. I used this whip to practice martial arts. In the future, I won't really have no strength to bind chickens, but also can protect people who want to protect."

I can't stand up, but I'm not optimistic. I always want to protect others. Such a person is really rare in the world. Xue Zhao didn't feel anything at all. In his eyes, he couldn't even find a trace of gloom. He said, "I'm still not proficient in using this whip. When I'm proficient in using it, I'll change it."

Situ September looked at Xue Zhao and suddenly remembered what Xue Zhao said about protection when he was in the government house.

She said, "this whip is not good."

The crowd looked at her suspiciously, and Xue Zhao also asked, "why does doctor situ say so?"

"It's really hard to kill with a whip. Compared with a knife, sword and dagger, it's much easier. When you're in a wheelchair, your strength is not as strong as that of a standing person, and it's even harder to kill."

Wen Renyao sniffed and said, "situ, you are also a girl, and you are always killing people. What our master Xue likes is robbing the rich and giving aid to the poor, punishing evil and promoting good. He doesn't kill people if he doesn't like people. He's different from you."

Situ Jiujiu was stunned. She had heard the words "different from you" countless times in the past. When she was young, she ran away. Others said that she was different from other little girls and was too cold-blooded. When she killed, others said that she was different from other doctors, like an executioner. But she didn't take it to heart once. It's different if it's different, so what? But today's "different" sounds particularly harsh.

Her face gradually sank.

Jiang Li saw it in her eyes, and her heart moved. She was about to say a few words, but Xue Zhao spoke.

Xue Zhao said, "but if you want to protect someone, you can't help killing. If you want to protect yourself, it doesn't matter to kill."

He said so, but he looked at situ September with a smile, and his eyes were warm and tolerant enough to melt the ice and snow.

Situ Jiujiu was stunned.

"I believed that the law of the jungle was the law of the jungle when I was young. I don't need others to save me. If anyone hurts me, I will kill anyone." Suddenly, on that day, the conversation between himself and Xue Zhao appeared in situ Jiujiu's brain again.

She is telling the truth, so she deliberately frightens those people and makes them hate her, which is exactly what she wants. But if we can do it again, if she is still the princess of Moran, if there is no such turmoil, who is willing to pick up the poisoned sword instead of the fragrant flowers, who is willing to wander away from home for no reason?

She felt that she was right, even if she was paranoid, hard hearted and indifferent, but it was all forced by life. In order to live, she changed herself from an innocent princess to such a demon that everyone should be afraid of. People in the world fear her, scold her, and treat her like snakes and scorpions, but no one tries to understand why.

It seems that she was born to like killing people for fun.

But the young man in front of him, who was quite different from her, dreamed of walking all over the mountains and rivers, punishing evil and promoting good. Let alone killing, maybe he had never done anything bad in his life. He was as clean as a piece of white paper, but he could stand in front of her and say something close to understanding.

Just like the light pulls people out of the darkness, one word can save people.

Xue Zhao laughed and said, "if my whip can kill, the people around me don't have to kill. When I'm strong enough to protect the people close to me, they don't have to pick up the knife for self-protection. Dr. situ." When he called situ, he stubbornly used the word "doctor". Although situ had always stressed in September that she was not a doctor, she was a poisonous girl who would harm people.

Xue Zhao said, "is there any way to make a whip the same as a dagger?"

Situ was silent in September.

She knew that Xue Zhao was rescuing her. He was like taking care of an ordinary girl who lost her face and became ugly, so that she would not be embarrassed or lose her manners.

"Yes," she heard her voice, "poison the whip."

Poison the whip. If the whip hits people, people will be injured, but it is difficult to die. However, if you get the poison that seals your throat with blood, you can kill people in an instant.

I really hate poison, but Xue Zhao laughed. He said, "good idea, please bother doctor situ. Can you give me some poison?"

Wen Renyao didn't understand what Xue Zhao and situ Jiujiu meant, but he just felt that the atmosphere between them was a little strange. Jiang Li looked at this scene thoughtfully.

"Your brother is really a talent." Ji Xuan stood behind Jiang Li and opened her mouth with a smile.

"You also think..."

"Don't ask me," Ji Heng said, "it has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Li stared at him. She was a little suspicious and uncertain for a moment, but looking at Xue Zhao and situ Jiujiu, she thought it was good. Just then, old general Ji came out of the room. He was full of tea, his face was red, and he looked very happy. When he came to Ji Chen, he patted Ji Chen on the shoulder and said, "smelly boy, Xue Shangshu told you to go in."

Jiang Li was surprised.

Wen Renyao was also surprised: "what did Mr. Xue find ah Hong to do?"

"How do I know?" General Ji was unhappy. "I'm not a gossip, and I'm still asking what he wants to say. Go quickly," he said impatiently, "Why are you standing?"

Ji Heng went in.

Jiang Yuanbai: who is the father-in-law? It's heartbreaking
