Marriage of the Di Daughter

Jiang Li blankly let the man let go of herself, and when she saw clearly in front of her, she saw the man in front of her, with both hands chopped off from the wrist.

Jiang Li couldn't see how his hands were cut off, but he saw a little blood on Ji Heng's fan. He took out a snow-white silk from his sleeve, wiped off the blood on the fan with disgust, and threw it away.

The silk handkerchief fluttered down on the man on the ground, and the man on the ground raised his bare hands and howled and writhed, as if in extreme pain, with a heart-piercing cry. Zhao Ke came over and pierced his throat with a sword, ending his life.

Only now did Jiang Li see clearly that the other four people had already fallen to the ground, all of them had their throats sealed with blood, presumably it was written by Zhao Ke and Wen Ji. Ji Heng chopped off his hands with a fan.

"He's dead." Wen Renyao said, he sighed and put his hands together, "It's a sin, a sin."

He looked so compassionate, if he hadn't been running around in the first place, how could he have attracted these people.

Lu Ji didn't take it seriously, as if she was used to such things, she said to Ji Heng: "Then let's continue on our way."

Lin Yao was so young that he was so frightened that he shed tears all the time, but he didn't dare to cry loudly, his eyes were red, which made people feel distressed. Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng, and Ji Heng looked at her, smiled, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "It's all right."

Just saying "It's all right" seems to make Jiang Li feel at ease, only to feel that all the strength in her body has been exhausted, and she becomes tired instantly. He was about to speak, when suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes not far away, mixed with curses and shouts of people.

Everyone was taken aback.

Lu Ji said: "Not good, these people are not stragglers, I'm afraid there are others. I heard that there are quite a few people, so let's go quickly."

Everyone hurried into the carriage, and Zhao Ke and Wen Ji didn't dare to delay, so they ran away with whips. Jiang Li was sitting in the carriage, the mountain road was bumpy, but her mind was still on the matter just now. No one expected that such a thing would happen in the middle of the journey. The soldiers behind them did not know how many people there were. Wen Renyao and Lu Ji both looked dignified. Ji Heng was expressionless, but Jiang Li knew that things were not as she imagined. so easy.

Lin Yao sat next to Wen Renyao nervously, his eyes were red with grievance, he was very obedient and not too noisy, and there was silence in the carriage.

Jiang Li was a little upset. When she lowered her head, she was taken aback suddenly. A section of red rope was exposed from her neck. It was the red rope tied with the jade pendant of the civet cat. Only the jade pendant has disappeared.

She was stunned at first, then a little panicked, and then she thought about it carefully, maybe when she was entangled with those soldiers just now, someone accidentally tore off the jade pendant and lost it. Jiang Li felt a little regretful. It was the jade pendant given to her by her father. As Xue Fangfei's evidence, she kept it carefully and never thought it would be lost here.

But there is no way, the carriage cannot be turned around and searched. I don't know who is following behind. If I happen to run into King Cheng's soldiers and horses, I am afraid that the gain will not be worth the loss. The small loss is the big deal, so Jiang Li quietly grabbed the red rope and pulled it off, pinched it into a ball, and stuffed it into the sleeve.

When she was feeling regretful, Ji Heng suddenly said, "Stop."

The carriage stopped abruptly, and Zhao Ke and Wen Ji asked outside, "My lord?" It was probably also strange why Ji Heng would stop at this time.

Ji Heng said: "I have something to do, leave a mark on the road, and meet you at night."

"My lord, no." When Lu Ji heard this, she became anxious: "King Cheng's soldiers and horses are behind. Although I don't know how many people there are, they are at least one team. We are going out of the mountain soon. If you are alone, you will not be able to meet them." What do you do when you get on them?"

"I have my own measure," Ji Heng said, "Go ahead, don't worry about me." After saying this, he got out of the carriage, and Lu Ji wanted to persuade her again, but Ji Heng had already disappeared.

Zhao Ke and Wen Ji only listened to Ji Heng's words, and since Ji Heng let them go forward, the carriage started to gallop again. Lu Ji frowned, and kept saying, "Nonsense, nonsense!"

Wen Renyao was also taken aback. After Ji Heng left, he remembered and asked, "What is Ah Heng going to do? Why did he leave suddenly? Hey," he opened the curtain of the carriage and took a look. , said: "The direction he left is actually going back, what is he doing?"

"How do I know." Lu Ji replied angrily, looked at Jiang Li again, and asked in a good voice: "Does Miss Jiang know why your lord left?"

Jiang Li shook her head blankly: "I don't know either."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Lu Ji's eyes, she sighed, and stopped talking.

Jiang Li also felt strange and nervous, Ji Heng never separated from them along the way. It was also agreed that they would go back to Yanjing City together, why did they suddenly leave alone at this critical moment, what was he going to do? This thing can't be seen by other people? Although she knew that Ji Heng didn't like others to see her secrets, Jiang Li was still a little annoyed.

That would be too worrying.

At this moment, her fingertips touched the cold pair of scissors in her sleeve again. The moment before Ji Heng didn't cut off the soldier's hand, she took out the scissors and stabbed the soldier fiercely. Later, Ji Heng saved her, and Jiang Li took the scissors back in a daze.

At this moment, she sounded calm, how could she remember... She stabbed someone with these scissors?

Jiang Li took out the pair of scissors from her sleeve.

The silver scissors are small and delicate, with a cool color, but there is some solidified red on them, and Jiang Li is stunned. Wen Renyao suddenly saw Jiang Li come out with a pair of scissors, and asked strangely, "Where did these scissors come from...Second Miss, what did you use them for? Why is there still blood?"

In Jiang Li's mind, the moment when Ji Heng was standing in front of him, his red robe protecting his body, when he said "Don't be afraid", his body seemed to tremble slightly.

All that happened too fast, and she was so dazed that she even ignored something. When Ji Heng stood in front of her, the scissors were too late to retract and stabbed him. It's just that she didn't know where he was stabbed, he pretended to be nothing, and the red robe covered up the wound, so she couldn't see anything, she didn't know that he was hurt by herself, and she didn't know that he was enduring the pain and returning to the cloud Feng lightly concealed it.

Jiang Li closed her eyes.

He was still wounded, and he didn't know what to do when he was alone, but now he was in danger, and every step of the way was frightening.

She couldn't do anything, and she couldn't help, she could only pray silently in her heart.

Pray that he is safe and well.

...

Zhao Ke and Wen Ji really listened to Ji Heng's words very much, and Ji Heng told them not to stop and move on. Even if Ji Heng was not there, Zhao Ke and Wen Ji kept on their way. It's just that Zhao Ke and Wen Ji had to stop to make a mark after they hadn't driven for a while. Jiang Li couldn't understand their mark, but probably Ji Heng did. I don't know if it was luck, but when it was dark, they found a thatched cottage in the mountains.

This house should have been unoccupied for a long time, probably a thatched hut left by people who went hunting in the mountains. They didn't even close the door, and once they entered, there were spider webs all over the ground. There are two rooms, each room has a bed, but there is no bedding on the bed, and the windows are only paper. In the kitchen there is a stone stove with some firewood in it.

"Let's stay here." Lu Ji said: "At least there is a place to rest."

Wen Renyao went to look for dry firewood, this time he didn't dare to go too far as before, so he picked up some dead branches nearby. Going to boil some hot water. Jiang Li took the broom by the door and tidied up the inside and outside of the house a little. No one lived here for a long time, and the dust was everywhere. It would be much better to clean it up.

Zhao Ke and Wen Ji walked around the room with solemn expressions, probably to check the surrounding situation. The surrounding area is very quiet, and it seems that no one has been there on weekdays.

After everything was packed, everyone went into the house and sat down. Zhao Ke and Wen Ji sat by the door, and Wen Renyao sat on the ground. There were no benches here, so they had to find stones to move into the house and sit on them.

"Why hasn't Ah Heng come back yet?" Wen Renyao said, "You said he will be fine, right?"

"Your Excellency will be fine." Lu Ji said: "I just don't know if there is any trouble."

"Even if there is trouble, Ah Heng should be able to solve it." Wen Renyao looked at Jiang Li: "Can it be solved?"

Jiang Li: "...I don't know."

She was already flustered, not knowing where her scissors had pierced Ji Heng, and if the injury was serious, would it affect Ji Heng.

"Don't worry," said the taciturn Wen Ji, "Your Excellency has his own discretion, he won't do dangerous things."

This sentence made everyone feel a little relieved. Ji Heng had no plans. If such a shrewd person could threaten himself, he would naturally not do it alone. He is a person who is very good at weighing the pros and cons, and will not make unnecessary sacrifices.

At night, everyone went to sleep, but Jiang Li could have a room to herself, because she was a woman. However, she couldn't sleep, and Zhao Ke and Wen Ji slept outside to prevent unexpected situations from happening.

Jiang Li was always restless, so she simply sat up and went outside. Zhao Ke and Wen Ji put up a mattress on the ground and slept on the ground as a bed. Just as Jiang Li went out, she saw a person walking in.

It turned out to be Ji Heng.

Zhao Ke and Wen Ji also woke up, and Ji Heng waved to them, but they didn't know. Jiang Li couldn't help but stepped forward, and dragged Ji Heng into her own room.

Wen Renyao, Lu Ji and Lin Yao were in another room, Jiang Li was afraid of waking them up, so she pulled Ji Heng, and there was no stool in the room, so she let Ji Heng sit on the bed.

There was no light, only the clear moonlight. She lowered her voice and asked, "You, are you okay? What did you do?"

The young man spread out his palms. His palms were slender and powerful. There was a jade pendant lying in the middle, and the civet cat on it was charmingly naive.

Jiang Li was taken aback.

"I picked this up." He laughed.
