Marriage of the Di Daughter

The next morning, Ji Heng planned to set off.

Wen Renyao has the most luggage, Lu Ji and Jiang Li have nothing to do, let alone Lin Yao.

The carriage was sent by General Wu Wei. Knowing that Ji Heng was in Huangzhou, he specially found a large carriage and asked them if they needed soldiers and horses to protect their safety along the way, but Lu Ji politely declined.

The carriage was very spacious, and Jiang Li and Wen Renyao were sitting in it, and Wen Renyao was still hugging Lin Yao. Lu Ji and Ji Heng were outside. I don't know what they said to General Wu Wei. When Wen Renyao lifted the curtain of the carriage, General Wu Wei looked into the carriage curiously, probably knowing that there was a man sitting in the carriage. She is a woman, but she doesn't know her identity, nor her relationship with Ji Heng, so she's just curious.

Wen Renyao lowered the curtain of the carriage, and soon Ji Heng and Lu Ji got into the carriage, Zhao Ke and Wen Ji took the coachman, and the carriage headed out of Huangzhou City.

After Wen Renyao coaxed Lin Yao to sleep, he lifted the curtain of the car, and Jiang Li followed to look outside. I remember that when I first arrived in Huangzhou City, the outside of the city was lively and clean, and there were many people entering and leaving the city, but now there is no one, and even the land seems to have turned into scorched black. Arrows and swords were scattered all over the ground, as well as human corpses, piled up casually on one side, and it was unknown whether they were the defenders or the kings.

The smell of blood lingers for a long time, and the air is filled with a palpitating smell. Through these things in front of him, it seems that he can see the tragic night attack of the king's soldiers and horses that night. Although Huangzhou City was defended in the end, it was by no means easy.

The atmosphere became a little heavy, and Wen Renyao put down the carriage, as if wanting to find something cheerful, looked at Jiang Li, and said to Jiang Li, "Hey? Second Miss Jiang, your face seems to be much better."

Jiang Li reached out and touched her face, and said, "It seems to be."

The medicine given to her by the man and woman, after such a long time, the red spots on her face have gradually dissipated. Except for looking closely, there are still faint red marks, but looking at it from a distance, it is nothing serious, and it is almost invisible.

Hearing this, Ji Heng also looked at Jiang Li. He was smiling, but Jiang Li looked uncomfortable. He was sitting opposite Jiang Li, as if he could see everything, Jiang Li avoided his gaze and lowered his head pretending to be unintentional.

"It's really great," Wen Renyao said beamingly, "Seeing that Second Miss has returned to her former beauty, I am really happy for Second Miss from the bottom of my heart."

If such glib words were uttered by a man next to him, I'm afraid he would scold Deng Tuzi, but after spending a long time with Wen Ren, he knew that this man was just chattering, and he had no one to guard his mouth. But not bad. Jiang Li had no choice but to laugh or cry.

"However," Wen Renyao looked outside again, and said, "Shouldn't we meet King Cheng's soldiers and horses along the way?"

Jiang Li asked: "Didn't they already leave?"

"It's not necessarily that we walked together, maybe we will meet scattered soldiers." Lu Ji said: "Zhao Ke and Wen Ji are walking on a small road, and the possibility of encountering them is not high."

"It doesn't matter," Wen Renyao said, "You guys asked me to go with you, you are responsible for my safety...and Miss Jiang Er's, right?"

Lu Ji gave him a white look: "Got it."

After that, the four of them were speechless. Jiang Li could feel Ji Heng's gaze on her with some scrutiny, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable. But there was only one carriage, and there was no way to escape. She couldn't help feeling a little regretful, and if she knew it earlier, she strongly demanded that she should have two carriages, no matter who she was with, as long as she wasn't in the same carriage with Ji Heng. Ji Heng's eyes are too poisonous, and she sees things too thoroughly. No matter how much Jiang Li hides it, it may not last long. When he knows his secret intentions, he doesn't know what will happen.

Besides, the matter of mind is like the flower on which the butterfly is lying, the fragrance of the flower can't be suppressed no matter what, when people pass by, they can immediately smell the fragrance of the flower, how can they hide it?

Fortunately, Ji Heng is a smart person, and his thoughts are not easy to be known by others. If he doesn't say it, Jiang Li also pretends not to know. Wen Renyao has a big heart, and he will talk about other things after a while. Lu Ji was more talkative than Jiang Li imagined, with witty remarks, even Lin Yao who woke up later was attracted by Lu Ji's words.

The way back to Yanjing was smoother than expected.

Zhao Ke said that if you drive in the daytime and don't rush, you can arrive on the seventh day. The first two days passed without incident, and on the third day, the carriage continued to move forward, no different from before.

From Huangzhou to Yanjing, except for the city gate, there are fewer and fewer people after that. In addition, in order to avoid King Cheng's soldiers and horses, Zhao Ke and his two took a small path, almost walking into the mountains. On the third day, it was almost completely a wilderness, with no villages, shops, or anything.

Wen Renyao looked outside for a while, and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to stay in the mountains today."

Jiang Li felt nothing.

Wen Renyuan saw her indifferent appearance, and asked: "Miss Jiang Er, why are you not surprised at all to stay in the mountains tonight?"

"There are no other inns here. There are people in the mountains, but you may not be able to find them. It is easy to get lost if you blindly look for them. Compared with them, living in the mountains is a good choice." Jiang Li replied: "It's just too dangerous to light a fire at night. , afraid of attracting bad guys, or rest in the carriage."

She didn't find it difficult, but spoke very naturally, which made Wen Renyao look at her strangely, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ji Heng smiled, as if he understood it very well. When they were in Tongxiang, Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao went hunting in the mountains together. Sometimes they couldn't go home after they were done, so they lit a fire and slept under a tree overnight. There are no villains in the mountains of Tongxiang, only wild animals, and the fire is just to drive those wild animals away.

At this moment, Lin Yao's stomach growled, and Lin Yao said, "Sister Jiang, I'm hungry."

Jiang Li took out some dry biscuits and water from the bag and handed them to him, saying, "Eat some."

It was also noon, but there were no inns around, and it seemed that even if we walked a long way, there would be no inns. Today, I will definitely not be able to eat in the store, I can only eat dry food. Jiang Li distributed the dry food to Lu Ji and the others, and Zhao Ke and Wen Ji also stopped the carriage to rest here for a while and eat something.

Everyone got out of the carriage.

Ji Heng was also holding dry biscuits in his hand. Jiang Li thought that a picky and delicate person like him would probably not touch this dry food. Jiang Li wanted to see what he ate, but unexpectedly he directly He picked up the dry food and brought it to his mouth, and began to eat slowly.

Jiang Li was taken aback.

This person's elegance is engraved in his bones, even if he eats a piece of dry food, he is calm and slow, as if he is eating some delicious food in the world. Jiang Li stared at him, forgetting to eat what was in her hands. Ji Heng noticed her gaze, looked over, was startled, and suddenly smiled, he said, "What do you see me doing?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Li lowered her head and ate her own.

Wen Renyao ran over from the grass and complained: "This dry biscuit is really unpalatable. Is there anything else to eat?" He suddenly thought of something, "Hey, second miss, don't you know how to roast venison? It’s called flowers and birds, there are many rabbits and birds in this mountain, why don’t we go hunting and you can roast them?”

Wen Renyao is probably the most picky among them, even more picky than Lin Yao. Focusing on eating better, Jiang Li said: "There are no bows and arrows for hunting here, and we are on our way now."

"Wen Ji and Zhao Ke are very skilled. I'll ask them. How about I go dig out the bird's nest and catch some sparrows. Good sister, you are so skilled, don't be sorry."

He can even say the word "good sister", which shows that he is shameless. Jiang Li was helpless, Lu Ji sat under the tree, ate dry food leisurely, and gave Wen Renyao a contemptuous look by the way, and Ji Heng ignored him at all. Wen Renyao said "I'll take it as your agreement", and ran to Zhao Ke and Wen Ji. However, the two guards didn't seem to intend to go along with Wen Renyao's plan. Jiang Li just watched Wen Renyao dawdling for a long time, and finally stood up dejectedly, as if unwilling to give up, and went to the nearby bushes.

Is he going to catch birds by himself? Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng: "He alone...isn't in danger?"

Ji Heng smiled: "No."

On the contrary, he seems to trust Wen Renyao very much. Jiang Li didn't know what Wen Renyao could trust, after all, Wen Renyao didn't seem to have any martial arts.

But Ji Heng said so, so Jiang Li naturally had nothing to say. Lin Yao was squatting on the ground, eating dry biscuits and looking at the ants on the ground. The children of ordinary people are not as picky as Wen Renyao, but they are very sensible and well-behaved.

When everyone finished their dry food, Wen Renyao hadn't come back yet. Jiang Li felt a little uneasy, so she asked, "Should I go and find Mr. Wenren, it's been so long..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly saw Ji Heng's expression change slightly, and she was surprised. She heard some "rustling" sounds in the bushes, and Wen Renyao appeared in front of her eyes profusely sweating. Jiang Li and the others shouted, "Run!"

But before he finished speaking, there was a louder noise from the bushes, and someone followed!

Wen Renyao ran to Lu Ji's side in embarrassment. Lu Ji, Ji Heng, and Zhao Ke didn't move, as if they didn't see Wen Renyao. Immediately afterwards, a few people appeared behind the bushes, all of them were dressed as soldiers. This place is far away from Huangzhou City. They could not be members of General Wuwei or the guarding army. They must be soldiers of King Cheng.

The reason is that King Cheng's soldiers and horses were traveling on the main road, and the journey was faster than them, so they did not expect to meet them here. From the looks of it, this is a single scattered soldier, probably someone who fell behind Cheng Wang's soldiers and horses.

There were a total of five people who came, but they were all tall and tall, with a bit of arrogance that can only be seen after a murder. Seeing Jiangli and his party, the leader asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Master Bing," said Lu Ji with a smile, "We are merchants who came from Yongzhou and happened to pass by here. We wanted to go to Huangzhou, but who knew that the gate of Huangzhou city was closed, so we had to go back to Yongzhou. I heard that it was very chaotic outside, so I walked the mountain road."

When Lu Ji said this, there was a flattering smile on his face, but he couldn't see the appearance of a scribe who was strategizing at all, as if he was really a timid businessman. Zhao Ke and Wen Ji didn't speak, they were dressed as coachmen, so there was nothing wrong with them.

"Leave the carriage," said the leading soldier, "The others get out!"

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, luckily these people didn't use the knife, they still have a child with them, neither Jiang Li nor Wen Renyao has martial arts skills, so these people really will be tied up. This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that if these people attract King Cheng's soldiers and horses who have not gone far, if so many people come together, no matter how powerful Ji Heng is, he will be hard to beat with two fists and four hands.

The eyes of those people sized up a few of them, a child, a young man, a merchant who seemed timid and timid, and two coachmen. Ji Heng's appearance was a bit too full, but when he suppressed his dangerous breath, Just a pretty, a little too much young man, nothing special.

The eyes of those officers and soldiers stopped on Jiang Li, and one said, "Women stay too!"

Jiang Li's heart "thumped", and as the man spoke, the eyes of several soldiers became sticky on Jiang Li. The red spots on her face have almost all healed now, and she looks like a slim and delicate girl. In the hands of these people...

Wen Renyao was the first to call out, and he said: "Master Bing, this is not good, if you want money...we have enough...we still hope to show you your hands."

One of the soldiers drew out his knife abruptly, and shouted at Wen Renyao: "If you don't want to die, get out!"

Wen Renyao was taken aback, and Lin Yao, who was hiding behind Lu Ji, burst into tears. The crying soldiers were upset, and one of them had a fierce look in his eyes, and walked towards Lin Yao and the others with a knife in his hand. The other two walked straight towards Jiangli.

Their eyes were greedy, staring at Jiang Li like a wolf saw the prey, Jiang Li's hand touched the pair of scissors in her sleeve, it was she who was rescued by Ji Heng, from the basket of the dressing table when she lived in Huangzhou City The scissors that I touched were probably the scissors left by the previous owner of the house. The pair of scissors was exquisite, and she kept it in her sleeve all the time. She thought she would never use it, but she didn't expect to use it here.

She couldn't help looking at Ji Heng. Ji Heng was still smiling, just looking at her, not intending to do anything. Jiang Li knew that he would not let what happened in front of him, but her heart still lifted slowly as the two of them approached.

Just when one of the soldiers came to her side with a lewd smile, and his hand was about to touch Jiang Li's face, Jiang Li suddenly pulled out the scissors in his sleeve, and stabbed viciously at the person in front of him. However, at the next moment, she only saw a red shadow flashing in front of her eyes, the red robe wrapped her around her, and someone was speaking in her ear.

His voice was low and soft, but with a bit of coldness, he said, "Don't be afraid."
