Marriage of the Di Daughter

It can be vaguely seen that there are people wearing linen clothes in the crowd, walking quickly like ordinary people, but they are holding bright long knives in their hands. The people panicked and ran around, making the crowd even more crowded. The sounds of children crying, people being tripped and cursed, and the sounds of killers cutting their skin with knives can be heard endlessly.

"Oh my God!" Tong'er's face turned blue: "Someone killed someone!"

"Don't be afraid," Jiang Li said calmly: "The city defense army is nearby, and they will rush over immediately when they hear the movement." As soon as the words fell, their own carriage stopped abruptly and did not move anymore. At the same time, there was a scream from the coachman.

Tong'er was so frightened that she shivered, but she still stretched out her hand to protect Jiang Li behind her, Bai Xue said: "Girl, we can't stay in the carriage, the carriage in the mansion is too conspicuous, let's avoid..."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted suddenly, and a strange middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of him, with a fierce look in his eyes, holding a machete, and strode onto the carriage. With a scream, Tong'er pushed Jiang Li off the carriage and went up to meet her. The knife swung over at once, and Jiang Li only saw Tong'er's arm move forward, and a gleam of blood blurred her eyes. Bai Xue was tall and blocked the door, saying: "Girl, run first! Go to the side and hide!"

The man's eyes flickered, and when Jiang Li and the machete man looked at each other, Jiang Li suddenly understood that this man was coming for her! She glanced at Bai Xue and Tong'er who were still in the carriage, and the man really left Bai Xue and Tong'er and came towards her. Gritting her teeth, Jiang Li turned and ran into the crowd.

Ghosts were crying and howling everywhere in the crowd, and the ground was covered with blood that was trampled in a mess. It was like hell on earth.

The city garrison soon arrived, but at the moment of a stick of incense, those people immediately dropped their scimitars and quickly got away, because they were wearing the clothes of ordinary people, it was hard to tell them apart, and at this moment there were people everywhere again, for a while After a while, the city defenders had nothing to do with them and watched them disappear into the crowd. After finally catching a murderer, Cai Ke subdued him, and before he could be escorted for interrogation, the man suddenly clenched his teeth, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and fell slowly, out of breath.

It turned out that the dead men hid poison in their jaws. Once caught, they would bite through the wax pills and kill themselves. No one could tell the truth about them.

"What's going on?" The leading city defense army was furious: "No one can be caught! These people are dead soldiers, how could they hurt ordinary people for no reason!"

The subordinates beside him asked: "Could it be Xirong..."

"Impossible! The Xirong people were driven into the depths of the desert by General Jinwu, and now they can't become a climate. How could they come to Yanjing City! And the people also said that these people seem to be Beiyan people. You can see how it's easy to blend in with the crowd!"

"Anyway, my lord, it's important to appease the people first." The subordinate said.

Crying was everywhere, those people were walking well on the street today, there were even street vendors and idlers drinking tea in the tea house, for no reason there appeared such a group of people hacking and killing among them. In such a short time, I don't know how many lives were lost. Many people were separated from their relatives in the chaos. A mother with disheveled hair lost a shoe in front of her, but she didn't care about it right now, crying and calling the child's name.

Tong'er fell beside the carriage. The moment the assassin rushed into the carriage, Tong'er blocked the knife that was swung at Jiang Li with her own arm. The wound was still bleeding, and Bai Xue tore off the corner of her skirt to bandage her. Tong'er had already fainted from the pain. Bai Xue put Tong'er in a safer place for the time being, and there were people from the city's garrison watching, so that nothing would go wrong. However, she herself was still thinking about Jiang Li, and she didn't know where Jiang Li was now.

The city garrison was already standing here, and the uninjured civilians immediately went home, and the injured were also sent to a nearby hospital. Only the bereaved, or separated from their loved ones, remained where they were. But there are far fewer people than at the beginning, at least at a glance, it won't be hard to tell who is who.

Bai Xue looked around while walking, she didn't dare to call out Jiang Li's name, so she had to say loudly: "Girl! Girl!"

There are not a few people similar to her, so her shout is not the most conspicuous. But with such a short street, if Jiang Li escaped, it would be impossible to leave this place, and Bai Xue's voice would definitely be heard. Moreover, the Jiang family's carriage is still in place. Although the driver is dead, as long as Jiang Li sees the carriage, he will follow the sound to find it.

But... no, there is no answer from Jiangli.

Bai Xue didn't give up, and yelled twice again. For a while, except for the family members of those who died, there was almost no one else. Even those who were separated from their relatives have found their relatives. Bai Xue's appearance attracted the attention of officers and soldiers, and a small guard asked Bai Xue, "Girl, who are you looking for?"

"My lady..." Bai Xue said anxiously: "She...she was also in the crowd just now, and we got separated. Brother, can you help me find it?"

The little officer said: "This street has been searched, and all the missing people have been found. You mean, your lady has not been found yet? Your lady is..."

"Have you searched all over?" Bai Xue's heart was cold, and she couldn't help but take two steps back.

...

Ye Mingyu started to keep the cooks in the house busy early in the morning.

Since yesterday, the shoppers have been thinking about what to cook today. Every time Jiang Li came, Ye Mingyu always wanted to bring Jiang Li the best things he could. Although there are no women in the Ye family, there is still a cook, because appetite is a major event in life, and their family taught him to come to Yanjing City, so he has to take good care of his nephew, right?

And their family is not short of money, there is plenty of it.

The table has already been filled with a dazzling array of meals. If you don't know, you may think that some old lady's birthday banquet has such a good harvest. Ye Shijie also returned to the mansion, and Haitang helped Xue Huaiyuan out.

Ye Shijie asked, "Isn't Jiang Li here yet?"

Ah Shun shook his head: "The concierge is on guard, and there is no movement."

"Strange," Ye Mingyu said, "Ali is the most punctual girl on weekdays. She was afraid that we would wait for her. Why did she take so long today? If we wait any longer, the food will be cold."

"Is something wrong?" Ye Shijie frowned.

"Bah, bah, bah," Ye Mingyu knocked him on the head, "Did you say that about your cousin? Besides, what place is this, Yanjing City, at the foot of the emperor, and your cousin is the eldest lady of the Jiang family, what else can happen?" What? Can someone abduct him when the sky is bright and bright?"

"There are also bandits in Yanjing City." Haitang couldn't help but said.

"What kind of bandit? Our family is the biggest bandit. Who dares to beat us? Isn't this what is it? can help me..."

"Okay, okay," Ye Shijie couldn't listen anymore, interrupted him, and asked: "Why don't you find someone to go to Jiang's house and ask if Jiang Li is delayed by something and can't come."

Ye Mingyu became nervous when he heard this, "It's possible, the mess in Jiang's house is all because Ah Li was bullied again in Jiang's house? Or I'll go and see, I'm not at ease."

After he finished speaking, Ah Shun, who was squatting at the door, suddenly went back and said, "Master, someone from the Jiang family is here!"

It said "Jiang's family" instead of "Miss Jiang Er". The people at the table were startled, which meant that Jiang Liguo really couldn't come, could something have happened?

Ah Shun brought the young man from the Jiang family into the house. The young man seemed to have come here in a hurry. There was still dust on his clothes. He seemed to have fallen down on the road a few times. His face was covered with sweat, and he opened his mouth when he saw someone. : "Master Ye San, something happened to our young lady, so I can't come!"

"An accident?" Several people in the room were startled, Xue Huaiyuan also frowned.

"What happened?" Ye Mingyu said in a rough voice, "Jiang Yuanbai bullied her again?"

After all, Ye Mingyu is from the Jianghu. When facing Jiang Li, he smiled, but when facing other people, his gangster spirit was revealed layer by layer. The scar on his face made people feel dreadful.

The servant shook his head repeatedly: "No, no. The second young lady came to Ye's mansion in a carriage early this morning. On the way, there was a bandit murder incident. In the chaos, the lady was lost, and now I can't find it. The master is going crazy right now. I'm looking for officers and soldiers to search the entire city of Yanjing!"

"What!" Ye Shijie also stood up.

"What bandit killing incident?" Xue Huaiyuan asked.

The boy said: "I don't know much about it. I heard that half an hour ago, on the road not far from here, a group of people suddenly appeared. The group of people dressed in ordinary people's clothes mixed in the crowd and shouted. Called to kill, killed more than a dozen people, finally caught a murderer, and even swallowed poison, I heard people say that those people are dead soldiers, but I don’t know what they came for.”

Xue Huaiyuan asked again: "How many people are missing like Miss Jiang?"

The boy's face was extremely ugly: "Only our young lady."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people in the room were different, and Ye Mingyu even pulled out the knife in his waist in a hurry, and cursed: "Damn! This girl, Ah Li, was taken away by someone!"

"Not good." The person who spoke was Xue Huaiyuan. Several people in the room looked at him. Ordinary people, if they want to disturb people's hearts, they can wear more scary clothes, cause more casualties, and then commit suicide. But they want to mix with ordinary people, which shows that it is for the convenience of escape. It shows that it is still for the purpose , From the beginning to the end, only Miss Jiang was missing, which shows that their target is Miss Jiang, and they came for Miss Jiang. The dozen or so people who died were just a pretense for sacrificing to kidnap Miss Jiang."

Xue Huaiyuan's voice was very gentle, calm and unhurried, but what he said was terrifying. Ye Mingyu frowned and said, "Isn't it? Ah Li is Jiang Yuanbai's daughter, who in Yanjing City would dare to deliberately confront Jiang Yuanbai?"

Ye Shijie said, "Mr. Xue is right."

"Is Miss Jiang really in danger? Who did it?" Haitang couldn't help asking.

"In Yanjing City, there are very few people who dare to attack the Jiang family. In fact, it is very easy to guess. In all likelihood, it is either Concubine Liu or King Cheng. Of course, there may be a right minister, but the right minister has no reason to target Jiang Li. A girl, so Concubine Liu and King Cheng are the most suspected." Ye Shijie said.

Xue Huaiyuan nodded: "Not bad."

"Wang Cheng and Concubine Liu? Is there any evidence that we can directly settle accounts with them?" Ye Mingyu asked impatiently.

"This is just our guess, Master Ye." Xue Huaiyuan said: "The most important thing now is to find Miss Jiang's whereabouts, not to take revenge. The Jiang family has a lot of power in Yanjing City. In order to ensure safety, they will definitely find a way to get Jiang The girl is sent out of the city. I think we should carefully interrogate the passers-by at the city gate."

Ye Mingyu put the knife on his back: "I'll call the brothers over!"

"I'll go out and have a look." Ye Shijie said: "I also know a few people at the city defense, I'll go and talk to them. Mr. Xue, please stay in the mansion. Once you get any news, please invite Mr. Xue to stay in charge." Ye Shijie Confession.

"Okay." Xue Huaiyuan replied, "Please be careful."
