Marriage of the Di Daughter

The noises outside continued, as well as the hurried footsteps of people, who probably came out of the house, making noises from far and near, children crying, and dogs barking. It was very lively.

In this very flustered situation, Jiang Li was sitting at the door, her eyes were bright, reflecting the glowing sky, but she didn't show any fear at all. Wenren watched from a distance, and suddenly smiled. When he was not talkative, He was very serious, he said: "Second Miss Jiang is not afraid at all."

"Compared to the unarmed people and the soldiers confronting the city gate, there is nothing to fear." Jiang Li replied.

"You are so bold, but you are somewhat similar to Ah Heng." Wen Renyao seemed to have thought of something, "When he had nothing, when he had nothing to rely on, he was also so bold."

Jiang Li smiled, noncommittal. She doesn't know what Ji Heng's past was like, and now she doesn't have time to hear Ren Yao talk about these past things. Just because in the sky, a letter fire suddenly rose, which was different from the previous drums, and it was fleeting.

Immediately afterwards, the voices outside suddenly became noisy, and the cries of women and children became louder.

At the same time, a few torches were suddenly thrown from outside the house. The courtyards in Huangzhou are not big, and the houses are all made of wood. As soon as it touched the sparks, it ignited. Zhao Ke jumped up and knocked out several torches, but one torch was still on fire. The house was on fire almost immediately. Zhao Ke cursed and said: " They poured oil, let's go!"

Wen Ji immediately protected Jiang Li and ran out of the house. As soon as he walked out of the house, he was stunned by the scene outside. The entire city of Huangzhou was in flames, and a row of neat houses on the street was burning. Like a winding fiery snake chasing a running man.

That's all, the people who heard the sound immediately wanted to use water to put out the flames. But the fire became more and more fierce, and those people poured oil on it before, so that the house could burn.

Before Jiang Li had time to ask Wen Ji, she heard screams one after another in the distance, and the sound of people chasing and crying, and many people ran out from the street at the other end. The clothes the people wore were splashed with blood, and someone was chasing them from behind.

It was the person who had been arranged in Huangzhou by King Cheng in advance.

Jiang Li frowned, King Cheng wanted to start with Huangzhou and go north to Yanjing. Tonight's attack, there are his men in Huangzhou city, and his soldiers and horses outside the city. The inside should cooperate with the outside. The Huangzhou city defenders are certainly not Cheng Wang's opponent in such a sudden situation. But King Cheng probably didn't expect one thing, that Ji Heng would come.

Those people ran extremely fast, Jiang Li was surrounded by people running in a panic, Wen Ji protected Jiang Li, and said, "Second Miss, go first!"

Jiang Li said: "Can't you save them?"

"The city defenders will be here soon." Wen Ji's tone was very indifferent, "Our responsibility is to protect the second lady."

When he was talking, Jiang Li watched helplessly as a child was pushed and shoved by the crowd a few steps away from him and fell behind. A man in black with a sword grinned and chased after him, and he was about to catch up.

Jiang Li didn't have time to think about anything else, so she pushed Wen Ji away and ran to the child. The child was already frightened, fell to the ground again, and cried desperately, but at this moment, he felt someone running over, picked him up, and ran back.

The man in black didn't expect that someone would rush over to save the child, but he didn't do much, and immediately followed Jiang Li. Jiang Li dragged a child, and she couldn't run for long. When she was about to be chased, Wen Ji caught up and started fighting with the man in black.

Jiang Li took the opportunity to run to the side, Zhao Ke caught up and couldn't help saying: "Second Miss, you are so messed up!"

"I..." Jiang Li also knew that it was too dangerous just now, so she said, "I'm sorry, but... I can't watch him die like this."

The child was only five or six years old, and looked at Jiang Li blankly, as if he had just realized it at this moment, burst into tears with a "wow", and hiccupped aggrievedly. But his hands were tightly grasping Jiang Li's sleeves. Jiang Li was also very sad. The child was covered in blood, and he was afraid that something bad happened to his parents. His round eyes reminded Jiang Li of Xue Zhao, how could she have the heart to leave this child here?

Wen Ji wrestled with the man in black for a while, the man in black was extremely cunning, seeing that he was not Wen Ji's opponent, he didn't want to fight, turned around and ran away. Wen Ji didn't go after him either, what if he fell into someone else's trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain? When Ji Heng left, he said that if he wanted to protect Jiang Li, he would naturally protect her.

Wen Renyao murmured: "This King Cheng has killed countless lives and committed countless crimes... he doesn't even care about the lives of the people."

Zhao Ke looked at this very openly, he didn't look like his harmless baby face at all, he said: "Once a general is successful, his bones will wither away, this has been the case since ancient times. What about the common people? There is no shortage of common people in the world. "

While speaking, the sound of drums and trumpets at the city gate became more intense. I wonder if it was Jiang Li's illusion, but I just felt that the ground under my feet also shook a few times.

Wen Renyao's face turned ugly: "The battle has changed, I'm afraid that King Cheng's soldiers and horses are stronger than imagined."

"What should we do now?" Jiang Li asked, "The whole city has been burned, and there is no safe place."

"After the city guards came, those men in black should not run around. What matters now is the city gate." Wen Renyao said solemnly: "The reason they caused chaos before was to take advantage of the chaos to open the city gate and let those People come in. Once King Cheng’s troops enter the city, even if there is Ah Heng, the defenders are not their opponents.”

Jiang Li pondered for a while, and said: "They shouldn't have succeeded, right? At least not right now, if they succeeded, it wouldn't be the case."

"Indeed, so they will intensify." Wen Renyao said: "I hope Ah Heng can handle it."

This time, Jiang Li didn't propose to go to the city gate. A few of them can't do anything now, if they go, if they are caught by those people and become a handle to blackmail Jiheng, then the loss outweighs the gain.

The guards came soon, and they seemed to know Zhao Ke and Wen Ji, one of them asked Zhao Ke and Wen Ji to take Jiang Li to the side. There were flames everywhere in Huangzhou City, and some of them were extinguished at this time. The people all gathered together, and only then did they come back to their senses, feeling a little better.

The men were a little uneasy, while the women hugged the children around them tightly, all looking in the direction of the city gate. Time passed, and everyone felt that tonight was extremely long.

The child who was rescued by Jiang Li was staring blankly at the sky, not seeing his family come to him for a long time. As soon as Jiang Li asked him about it, he cried, but he stopped crying with great difficulty. Jiang Li learned from his mouth that those men in black started from the south of the city, and that the first family was theirs. In a deep sleep, he was brutally killed by all those people. Only his elder brother rushed out holding him, but in the end his elder brother also died, and just when he was about to die, Jiang Li saved him.

Jiang Li asked him: "What's your name?"

"Lin Yao." He said sobbingly, extremely aggrieved. Such a young child probably doesn't understand what it means to be wiped out overnight. If he is older, sensible, and has experienced such a big blow, he doesn't know what will happen.

Jiang Li had no choice but to coax him, just like how she coaxed Xue Zhao when she was a child. After finally coaxing him to sleep, he handed the child to Wen Renyao. Wen Renyao was fine, not unwilling, but rather curious, looking at the child without knowing what he was thinking. Jiang Li looked around, and there were many wounded lying on the ground, and the doctors who were still alive in Huangzhou were also here, busy treating these people. Some city guards helped find the medicinal materials from the pharmacy, and after getting the medicinal materials, they decocted them on the spot.

After all, many people were killed and injured.

Jiang Li sighed and looked outside. There was still some distance from the city gate, but vaguely, it seemed that he could hear the sound of swords and swords at the city gate, as well as the sound of horseshoes. These voices came here, and the women trembled even more. A look of fear appeared on everyone's face.

Jiang Li was a little worried.

King Cheng had planned for this moment for many years. Counting from that time, Ji Heng was only a young child, and when Ji Heng knew how to start planning for this moment, many years had passed. Like her, like Wenji Zhao Ke, like Wen Renyao Lu Ji Kong Liu, they always blindly believe in Ji Heng, thinking that Ji Heng can do anything. But Ji Heng is just an ordinary person after all, and he is only a mortal body, so there will be dangers.

But she can't do anything.

Jiang Li sighed, nothing could be done, and it was better than causing trouble. As long as you survive this night, as long as you survive this night, the morale of soldiers and horses who want to become kings will be damaged, not as good as before. If we wait any longer, the reinforcements will come back. It is not appropriate to take all the chips for a Huangzhou. King Cheng will definitely organize his troops and go north to Yanjing before the reinforcements arrive, and enter the palace in one fell swoop.

But that's not right, if that's the case, why did Ji Heng do this here?

Jiang Li always felt that something was wrong. There was an Imperial Forest Army in Yanjing City, but there were too many people in Yanjing City. Once King Cheng came in, the consequences would be disastrous, and reinforcements must be called in. General Zhaode, the king of Xiajun in the northwest...General Zhaode?

Like a ray of light finally illuminating the reality, Jiang Li suddenly understood.

Ji Heng was not in Yanjing, but came to Huangzhou, what was the reason for being so stalemate with King Cheng. It was probably to make the emperor of Yanjing City transfer Zhaode General Yin Zhan back to Beijing. When Cheng Wang got over the entanglement and went to Yanjing again, he happened to meet Yin Zhan.

But why did Ji Heng do this? In order to better eliminate King Cheng? It took too much trouble, or maybe... just for Yin Zhan?

Jiang Li didn't understand, she wanted to think about this problem, and before she knew it, the sky in the east was white, and after a night, it was dawn.
