Marriage of the Di Daughter

When Jiang Li and Ji Heng returned to the forest, Ye Mingyu and his men had already found them. Two of the subordinates were seriously injured, and the rest were more or less slightly injured. Ye Mingyu had a cut on his arm, and blood dripped down, but he didn't care, he casually tore a piece of cloth from his clothes to tie it up.

They couldn't find Jiang Li's whereabouts anywhere. Just when Ye Mingyu was also desperate for a new life, Jiang Li appeared on a horse at the end of Qingshi Lane. Beside her was a beautiful young man in red. Ye Mingyu recognized this man, who had appeared in front of Ye's house in Xiangyang. Jiang Li said that this man was Su Guogong.

Although he didn't understand how Su Guogong came to Tongxiang, Ye Mingyu was still overjoyed when he saw Jiang Li, and hurriedly led his people to meet him, and shouted, "Ali!"

"Uncle!" Seeing Ye Mingyu, Jiang Li was also very pleasantly surprised, and immediately reined in and dismounted. The uncle and nephew were reunited, and both were lucky to have escaped. Jiang Li looked behind Ye Mingyu and asked, "Is uncle all right? Where are the assassins?"

"They're all mobs. The three with the best kung fu are chasing you. By the time we get rid of those behind you, you'll be gone. We don't know the way to Tongxiang, so we scattered around to look for you, but we couldn't find you. Yes, but his mother is terrified of me. Fortunately, you are fine." He looked Jiang Li up and down, and saw that Jiang Li didn't hurt a little finger, so he was relieved.

Jiang Li was startled when she saw the thick cloth tied around Ye Mingyu's arm, which was still oozing blood, and said, "Uncle, you are injured!"

"It's nothing." Ye Mingyu waved his hand nonchalantly, and said, "It's just minor injuries, not worth mentioning. A Li, let me tell you, this time it's thanks to me. If you bring your own guards, you can't keep them safe." But even so, those three people are good... I can't deal with them. Speaking of which, what happened to those three people? I saw them chasing you, and I was anxious to death, but they were entangled by other people, and I couldn't escape for a while. If you don’t get away, how did you escape from them?”

Jiang Li thought about it, and said that it was too scary for Ye Mingyu to use the swamp in the woods to trap those killers. Although he showed many doubts, this uncle has always believed in himself wholeheartedly. It's better to keep him thinking easier, she doesn't want Ye Mingyu to look at her like a monster.

She said: "I was riding a horse and ran into a forest by mistake. Those people followed me into the forest. It was probably their first time entering the forest and lost their way in it. I followed the guidance of the stars in the sky. They walked out first."

Ye Mingyu didn't doubt her nonsense, and said, "It's dangerous, it's dangerous."

Ji Heng, who had been silent all the time, glanced at Jiang Li when he heard the words, and the corners of his lips curled up, as if laughing at her for lying.

Ye Mingyu also noticed Ji Heng's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Ali, this..."

"I met the Duke when I came out," Jiang Li said with a smile, "If it wasn't for the help of the Duke, I'm afraid it would not be so easy for me to come back."

Since Ji Heng had already decided to keep her alive for the time being, he would naturally not go back on his word. Even in order to maintain his dignity of "not taking away his own things", he will help Jiang Li not to die under the knife of others. In this way, Ji Heng became a natural barrier instead. Jiang Li believed that as long as she was in danger, although Ji Heng would not take the initiative to help, as long as she asked Ji Heng for help, Ji Heng would take action.

It's hard to know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

But no matter whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, at least until Ji Heng didn't intend to take her life, they could be regarded as an alliance. So Jiang Li didn't hide anything from Ye Mingyu.

Sure enough, when Ye Mingyu heard the words, he immediately cupped his fists to Ji Heng, and said gratefully: "Really? Thank you, Lord Guo, for your help! Ye San is very grateful. If there is any need in the future, Ye San will definitely repay it wholeheartedly!"

Ji Heng looked at Jiang Li and said with a smile: "Your family, do you like to repay favors so much?"

Jiang Li's cheeks were slightly red, and when she was pinned by Ji Heng's fan to her neck, in order to soften Ji Heng's heart, she also said something like "repay each other with a grass in the next life". Although she knew that Ji Heng might not have seen her plan, but in the end Ji Heng let her go, it was hard to say whether it was because of her words.

As long as we are human, we will have weaknesses. It's nothing more than size. Jiheng's weakness is not clear yet, but Jiang Li knows that he will have it too, as long as he still has emotions.

"It's not that I like to repay kindness." Jiang Li smiled and said, "We just have a clear distinction between grievances and grievances." It's been like this since ancient times. There is absolutely no such thing as revenge and ungratefulness. If there is, it is necessary to seek fairness and justice by yourself.

"Okay, I won't say more." Ji Heng said: "I'm going back. Within seven days, Feng Yutang's people won't be able to move you." He said: "I live in the tavern opposite the county government. If you have anything to do, come to the tavern. Find me."

Ye Mingyu was a little flattered. In fact, a person like him who has been walking around the rivers and lakes as an adult doesn't have much idea of ​​his official title and authority. Therefore, he "cupped his fists to thank Ji Heng", and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But in Ye Mingyu's heart, he didn't think that Ji Heng would really help Jiang Li much. Because when he saw this beautiful man, he had an intuition that this man's heart was as cold as steel, and no one could easily walk in. Talking about friendship and kindness were all nonsense. Although I don't know why Jiang Li got involved with him, but maybe it was just a joke.

But listening to Ji Heng's words at this moment, it is clear that he is willing to help Jiang Li. And what does it mean that Feng Yutang's people can't touch them within seven days? It means that Ji Heng will clear all the obstacles brought by Feng Yutang and escort Jiang Li?

This person has such a good heart? Isn't he the Duke? Can condescend to do these things? Could it be that the Duke of the State is younger than the officials of the Shoufu, and he wants to please Jiang Yuanbai to get promoted? Maybe he just wanted to please Jiang Li? Jiang Li is now at an age where she can see others, and she will be able to get married in a few years. It's not that he, Ye Mingyu, is boasting, but Jiang Li's appearance and temperament are top-notch, intelligent and brave, and quite insightful. In the whole world, there are very few people who can match Jiang Li. Could it be that this man is leprosy... The swan wants to eat swan meat? But then again, how big an official is the Duke?

Jiang Li didn't know that her uncle's thoughts had flown so far at this moment, no matter what the purpose was for Ji Heng to say such a thing, at least she was very grateful now. She bowed to Jiheng and said: "Grandfather Jiang has nothing to repay for your kindness. If you bring it in the future, you will definitely repay it."

When Ye Mingyu heard this, all the hairs on his body stood on end, and he looked at Ji Heng warily. According to the fact that they walked the rivers and lakes and passed by the tavern and heard that the scholar talked about the playbook, the dude should have said "Then you promise it with your body"!

Don't let this apprentice succeed! He wants to protect this innocent niece!

Ye Mingyu was about to say something when Ji Heng had already opened his mouth. He said, "You don't have to thank me. Since I'm in the show, I don't like to watch other people."

For Ji Heng, the killers sent by Feng Yutang were indeed "miscellaneous people" to him. If these "miscellaneous people" really killed Jiang Li, the next scene would not be sung.

Jiang Li didn't quite understand why Ji Heng said such good things so awkwardly, but she wouldn't post it to make fun of herself when he said that, so she smiled at Ji Heng and said, "Thank you anyway. Grandpa."

Ji Heng glanced at her lazily, then walked slowly to the other side of the road without looking back. Under the moonlight, the road in Qingshi Lane was extremely long. His back was gorgeous and lonely, with the corners of his robe fluttering, like a lonely and powerful demon, walking gracefully on his way home.

Jiang Li felt that Ji Heng was a little different from before.

I don't know if it was because she understood and told Ji Heng's secret, Ji Heng didn't need to pretend in front of her. The kind of smile that was always lingering suddenly turned into a kind of carelessness. Lazy, boring, yet sober, always ready.

He is a contradictory person, but he is not as "unpersonal" as before.

Seeing Jiang Li staring at Ji Heng's back, Ye Mingyu cried out inwardly. Although his niece is both wise and brave, she is a bit younger. Facing this monstrous man, if the man teases her a little bit, it is inevitable that the little girl will not be tempted. At this moment, looking at his back in a daze, could it be that he has already fallen? spit! The world is so unfair, a good-looking man can say a few words casually, as if it is true.

He quickly pulled Jiang Li, hoping that his niece would find her way back, and said, "Ah Li, how is it? Let's go back?"

Jiang Li turned her head, looked at Ye Mingyu's arm, and said, "Okay, uncle, let's go home first and find a doctor to reapply the medicine. It's not good to bandage the wound like this. Everyone can sleep peacefully tonight." Since Ji Heng said Feng Yutang's people will not come to make trouble, which means that someone will protect the safety of Ye Mingyu and his party. At least within the past seven days, Jiang Li will not be suddenly assassinated while walking on the street in Tongxiang.

Ye Mingyu didn't care much about his injuries at first, but seeing Jiang Li caring about him now, his heart moved, and he immediately cried out "Ouch, Ouch", exaggerating, saying: "I'm in so much pain, I have to find someone The doctor is here to bandage it up, let’s go, Ah Li, let’s go back first.” He thought that as long as Jiang Li was distracted by himself, he would naturally not miss Duke Laoshizi. By the way, I will ask again tomorrow, how big an official is the Duke.

Jiang Li wondered why Ye Mingyu suddenly became squeamish, but also thought that he was really in pain, so she didn't say any more, and helped Ye Mingyu back to the yard in Qingshi Lane first.

Bai Xue and Tong'er guarded the door until their necks were broken. For a whole day, from day to night, Jiang Li and Ye Mingyu didn't come back. The two servant girls were so worried that they couldn't eat or sleep, and when they suddenly saw that the group came back safe and sound, they almost wept with joy. Jiang Li ordered them to fetch hot water and prepare food, and then asked an uninjured person to call for a doctor, so that Ye Mingyu's men could settle down first.

While Bai Xue was cleaning Ye Mingyu's wound, Ye Mingyu asked Jiang Li, "Ali, now that Peng Xiao and the others have been rescued, and the files have been obtained, what shall we do next? Are you talking about looking for the people of Tongxiang every household?"

"Yes." Jiang Li nodded, "Uncle, take a good rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, we will go door-to-door to inquire. There are only five hundred and sixty-eight households. Although I don't know if we can finish all the inquiries, but , can ask one more household is one household.”

"Then do these things for five days?" Ye Mingyu asked.

"As long as one family is willing to stand up, they will be able to write the name of Dali Temple. Dali Temple will immediately terminate Xue Xiancheng's beheading order and arrest Feng Yutang to go to Beijing. No one can change it, because the case of Dali Temple will be resolved. As long as you add a high-ranking official in Beijing, His Majesty will not despise you." There is a sentence that Jiang Li didn't tell Ye Mingyu, she would not just write about the important official in Beijing, she would directly write Princess Yongning name.

In this way, it is to open up an enmity with Princess Yongning. But there is nothing to be afraid of, that is, she is in peace with Princess Yongning on the surface, and if Princess Yongning is in Tongxiang, she will send killers to wipe her out. As long as Emperor Hong Xiao sees Princess Yongning's name, the Tongxiang case will definitely become a major case, and Princess Yongning will definitely not be allowed to play tricks on it.

This is what she wanted. The dossiers and official posts have already arrived, and the only ones missing are the people of Tongxiang. As long as some Tongxiang people can be persuaded to come to Beijing together, the case will not be far from the day when the world comes to light.

"Okay!" Ye Mingyu slapped his thigh, "We have done so many things, and victory is just around the corner. As long as we talk to the people of Tongxiang, the case of the Xue family can be overturned, and that bastard Feng Yutang can be brought to justice. I have long disliked him. Just such a bastard, he can still be the county magistrate, go to hell!"

Ye Mingyu was so angry that she even let out the foul language, but Jiang Li didn't have the time to pay attention to it. She sighed softly, with a look of worry on her brows: "Actually, the last step is the most difficult."

Since ancient times, kings have known the truth that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. No matter who it is, it is not an easy task to win the hearts of the people. Especially the people's hearts are still under threat of life.

In fact, she is not sure, she is the least sure about people's hearts.

But always give it a try.

... This night seems to have been extraordinarily long. In the small county of Tongxiang, many people have no sleep at night. The moon faded quietly in the middle of the night, the wind rolled up the leaves and rustled the streets, and the red lanterns under the eaves shook violently in the wind. The calmer the city, the more it seems that an inevitable storm is brewing.

In the early morning, Tongxiang, which hadn't snowed for more than ten years, suddenly had light snow outside.

The snow is not as rough as Yanjing, and the soft and small grains fall down, bringing out some crystal bright colors. Some hung on the branches, covering them layer by layer, forming a long crystal-like curtain. It seems that this small town that is not prosperous is also gentle and intoxicating.

Jiang Li was woken up by Tong'er.

Tong'er's distressed voice is still in my ears: "How can the girl sleep on the table? Didn't go to bed last night?"

Jiang Li stretched her waist and said, "It's nothing."

Last night she rejected Tonger and Baixue, but she wrote something overnight. There are 568 households in Tongxiang, each of whom has received the favor of Xue Huaiyuan. She had to visit more than 500 households by herself, but it was too late. Ye Mingyu had to let Ye Mingyu's people share part of it. With these "Booklets of Favor", Ye Mingyu would be more powerful and perhaps easier to persuade those people.

Just writing and writing, before she knew it, she fell asleep on the table. But the strange thing is that after waking up like this, I didn't feel too tired. Jiang Li stood up, opened the window, and a snowflake floated into the window. She stared blankly and said, "It's snowing."

"Yes, it's snowing." Tong'er also looked outside.

She has lived in Tongxiang for more than ten years, and this is the first time she has seen snow in Tongxiang. Not sure what that means, but maybe a new beginning.

Jiang Li's eyes slowly overflowed with a smile, and she said, "It's pretty good."

On the other side, Feng Yutang arrived at the county government office in the morning and put on his official uniform.

It was snowing in Tongxiang for the first time in more than ten years, and it was so cold that he sneezed again and again, wiped his nose, and the servant brought him a cup of hot tea. Feng Yutang lay down on the chair and complained, "It's really cold."

"Yes." The boy smiled apologetically, "The lanterns at the door have been blown down by the wind."

Feng Yutang looked outside and asked, "The people who went out last night haven't come back yet?"

The boy said: "No."

"There are no rules!" Feng Yutang said angrily. The three killers of Princess Yongning didn't even look down on him, and sometimes Feng Yutang didn't dare to speak to those who commanded him. No way, who made someone belong to Princess Yongning? Besides, if something goes wrong here, he still has to rely on those people. So even though he was dissatisfied, Feng Yutang only dared to whisper behind his back.

Thinking about it last night, it was those three people who finished their work and took his men there for some unknown reason. Feng Yutang thought resentfully, he never thought that the assassination of Jiang Li would fail. In his opinion, Princess Yongning's people are those with excellent skills, Jiang Li is a little girl, and Ye Mingyu and his party are only Ye Mingyu can fight, but they are not real killers after all. It is an undoubted fact that Jiang Li died at the hands of those people.

Thinking of Jiang Li's gentle and beautiful face, Feng Yutang smacked his lips, feeling a little pity. If it weren't for Jiang Li's identity, he would never let such a little beauty die easily, at least after he had played it. Speaking of which, Jiang Lisheng was not bad, and she was Jiang Yuanbai's daughter, so it was bad luck to die in Tongxiang like this. But then again, if she didn't want to investigate Xue Huaiyuan's case at her own risk, why did she come to this? So she deserved her death.

But Jiang Li, a little girl, shouldn't have any contact with Xue's family, so how could she investigate Xue Huaiyuan's case? Could it be her father Jiang Yuanbai's gesture? Not only did he stop Jiang Li, but he also took Jiang Li's life. If Jiang Yuanbai knew about this, wouldn't he be enmity with the Jiang family? Feng Yutang felt a little uneasy again. He worked for others, and he was ruthless, but he was always afraid of Jiang Yuanbai. After all, he was not an ordinary courtier, but a leader of literati.

Thinking of this, I feel a little annoyed. Originally, I was waiting for someone to report Jiang Li's sudden death early in the morning, but there was no movement until now. Feng Yutang felt faintly uneasy in his heart, but he tried his best to hold back, and only urged the servant beside him, saying: "Send someone to look again, to see if there are any of them in Hualou Tavern?"

Just as he was talking, someone suddenly stumbled over from outside, and when he came in, he fell because he ran too fast, with the tip of his nose pointed at the sole of Feng Yutang's shoe, and shouted: "My lord! My lord, something is wrong!"

Feng Yutang was really impatient, he kicked him when he heard the words, and said: "What are you shouting about? What's wrong?"

"My lord... You, you should go out to the backyard of the county government to have a look yourself!" There was panic under his hands.

Seeing this scene, Feng Yutang knew it was not good. No more talking, three steps and two steps to the backyard.

Before reaching the backyard, there was a strong smell of blood. Feng Yutang resisted the feeling of nausea, and walked further inside. Before he got to the middle, he saw twenty corpses neatly arranged on the ground in the yard.

It was said that it was a corpse, Feng Yutang didn't see clearly, but there was no need to see clearly. Because of the snow that fell all night, the body was covered with a layer of snow particles, cold and hard, and it had long been breathless. The blood had already solidified, Feng Yutang took a step back and barely held on to the pillar in front of him, preventing himself from falling.

He counted in his heart, three times in a row, exactly twenty people.

Twenty people, he sent a total of twenty of his own men, and three people from Princess Yongning. Now there are twenty people here, where are the other three?

Feng Yutang asked, "Where are the others?"

The subordinate who spoke first stepped forward, with uncontrollable panic in his tone, and said: "My lord, there are twenty people in total, and three of them are missing, so we couldn't find them."

Couldn't find it, maybe they were still alive. That's right, Princess Yongning is very skilled, so she definitely won't die so easily. A glimmer of hope suddenly floated up in Feng Yutang's heart, and he asked, "Have you found any trace of them?"

The subordinate shook his head: "I didn't find their shadows, but in the swamp of the black forest, I found their weapons... My lord, they are probably... bad luck."

Feng Yutang's eyes darkened, he almost fainted, regained his senses, and immediately cursed, saying: "There are twenty of them, going to surround and kill seven people! They can still wipe out the whole army! Are they sons of a bitch? A bunch of trash! "The scolding was too hasty, Feng Yutang's chest rose and fell sharply, as if he was about to be out of breath, but even his subordinates could hear the anger and panic in his voice.

Feng Yutang was scared.

Those twenty people are his subordinates. Now twenty of the best martial arts subordinates have been lost in one fell swoop, and the remaining ones are worthless. Without Princess Yongning's killer, he can't do anything. Not to mention attacking Jiang Li and the others, if Ye Mingyu wanted to assassinate him, his own subordinates didn't know if they could protect his life.

By the way, Jiang Li, Ye Mingyu, I don't know how they are now! Regardless of what happened to Ye Mingyu, what about Jiang Li? If their people had taken Jiang Li's life before they died, everything would not be too bad. At least he didn't mess up Yongning's errand, Yongning would not blame him, and would help him escape. As long as the ginger pear is dead!

"Where's Jiang Li?" Feng Yutang grabbed the reporter to accept it, and asked, "Where's Jiang Li? Is she dead? Is she dead?"

His eye sockets were bloodshot, and he described it as a bit scary, very scary. His subordinates were forced to take a step back, and slowly shook their heads.

Feng Yutang's heart gradually sank.

"Miss Jiang Er and that big man came out of the house in Qingshi Lane early in the morning and walked around, safe and sound."

Feng Yutang let go of his hand weakly.

The assassination failed, he lost twenty-three people, but Jiang Li was unscathed, and even dared to walk around the county town swaggeringly on the second day. This was provocation, or he was confident.

Presumably, the twenty corpses in the back garden of the county government in front of him are Jiang Li's tribute. It seems that she has known for a long time that Feng Yutang's people came to assassinate her. After harvesting all her troops, she will not rush and slowly send the body back, let him see clearly, this is the end.

She really wasn't afraid at all.

But he has no way out. While he saw clearly the danger of Jiang Li and his party, he also understood that Jiang Li could not stay. Not only because Princess Yongning's order cannot be disobeyed, but because Jiang Li knew that he would attack her. If she couldn't kill her, she would die in Jiang Li's hands when Jiang Li and Jiang Yuanbai reconciled, or even that day. , she will not let herself go.

This is a war between two groups of people. Either Jiang Li will die or he will die. He must fight to the end.

"Continue to send people to chase and kill Jiang Li." Feng Yutang said angrily.

"My lord..." The subordinate looked at him in surprise, as if puzzled by his decision, "I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid it's a fart!" Feng Yutang scolded: "What do you know, don't hurry up, if you go late, we will all die!"

This road really has to go dark.

...

In the tavern opposite the county government office, Wen Ji said: "My lord, Feng Yutang has sent troops to chase and kill Miss Jiang."

Ji Heng was sitting in the chair, looking at the tea in the cup, he looked much calmer than usual, looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking. In the world of ice and snow, his red clothes are more vivid, and his lips are as attractive as flower petals.

After a long while, he said, "You went to find someone to dismiss."

Wen Ji took the order to leave.

Sitting next to her, Lu Ji looked at Ji Heng thoughtfully, but didn't speak. Ever since she knew that Miss Jiang was hunted down by two groups of Ji Shuran and Feng Yutang last night, Lu Ji felt a stone hanging in her heart. With such a combination of hands, even if Second Miss Jiang has great abilities, she can't escape. But I didn't expect that it was not Wen Ji who followed Miss Jiang last night, but Ji Heng. What's more, Ji Heng, who has never interfered in other people's family affairs, actually offered to help, which is really surprising.

Ji Heng has never been a soft-hearted person, let alone draw out his sword to help with kindness, but he still made a move after all, and after that, he even showed a protective attitude towards Miss Jiang. No matter what the purpose is, whether it is to use it or other plans, Miss Jiang Er still succeeded.

She used an incredible method to pull the adults into this wonderful group play, and the adults have entered the game.

There is no way to guess what the adults are thinking, but Lu Ji thinks that Miss Jiang Er is really amazing.

The first day of June, everyone howl!
