Marriage of the Di Daughter

Jiang Li stared blankly at his hands.

The jade pendant was intact, and the moonlight shone through the window, shining bright and white together with his hand. As if the civet cat was about to come back to life, he was like a glamorous spirit walking out of the dark world, holding a seductive token in his hand, and handed it to him.

"This..." Jiang Li looked at him in disbelief.

"You left this during the day." Ji Heng leaned back and said nonchalantly, "I forgot to return it to you." Seeing that Jiang Li was still refusing to reach out to pick it up, he put the jade pendant on the table by himself. .

Jiang Li slowly grasped the jade pendant in her palm, feeling the joy of finding it back from the bottom of her heart, but also a little doubt. But her doubts were quickly overwhelmed, and a bloody smell came from Ji Heng's body. He was wearing red clothes, and he couldn't see anything under the moonlight, so he didn't know whether it was someone else's blood or his own.

He didn't answer Jiang Li's question just now, so Jiang Li didn't know where he went or what he did. The only thing she could ask was, "Are you hurt?"

Ji Heng smiled, but didn't speak.

Jiang Li took out the pair of scissors from her sleeve and put them on the table. She looked like a child who had done something wrong. She was a little apprehensive and wanted to make up for it. When it came to the bloodstains, I clearly stabbed that person...I stabbed you...you..."

Ji Heng looked at her with a smile and said, "You still don't believe me, Ari."

Jiang Li was taken aback for a moment, and she understood what Ji Heng meant in just a moment.

Ji Heng was by her side at the time, but she knew in her heart that Ji Heng would make a move, but she still took out the scissors at that moment. She didn't expose all her weaknesses to Ji Heng, leaving herself a way out. She still doesn't fully trust Ji Heng, even though she has some liking for him.

All of this was seen by Ji Heng.

She said, "I'm sorry..."

"It's not your fault," Ji Heng interrupted her, he raised his eyebrows and said, "After all, you died once."

Jiang Li was silent. Ji Heng thought that after she was hurt by Shen Yurong, she refused to trust others easily, which was to save her, but Jiang Li knew that besides Shen Yurong, there was also her distrust of Ji Heng herself. It may be that the image of Ji Heng that appeared in front of her at the beginning was unfathomable, but he weighed the pros and cons. Even in the later getting along, she gradually understood that Ji Heng was not that kind of person. When she was in danger, even if Ji Heng With Heng in front of her, she would instinctively protect herself.

If Ji Heng is a very sensitive person, he will be disappointed because of this matter, if Ji Heng is not a sensitive person... He is not a fool, so he naturally understands.

Jiang Li was a little frustrated, but she still pulled herself together, forced a smile, and said, "So, are you injured? If..."

"No." Ji Heng stood up: "I'm fine, you should go to bed earlier." He was about to walk outside the house.

"Where do you sleep like this?" Jiang Li asked.

"Don't worry about me." He just left this sentence and walked out.

Jiang Li still wanted to follow out, but she couldn't move. After a long time, the moonlight disappeared in the clouds, and the room was completely dark. There was a slight movement outside, as if someone was talking, probably Zhao Ke and Wen Ji. She sat on the bed with a thin quilt on top, and she was at a loss.

This may be a good thing for her. If Ji Heng thinks that she is such a selfish and untrustworthy person, the relationship between them will be cut off slowly.

In the end, people's wishes were fulfilled.

...

Outside the house, Zhao Ke lit the fire pocket, Wen Ji found clean water, and was cleaning the wound of Ji Heng who was sitting on the stone bench.

His sleeves were pulled back, revealing the scars on his arms. The scar seemed to be cut open by some sharp object. The wound was not long, but rather deep. Wen Ji slowly cleaned it up for him. Zhao Ke found a small palm-sized medicine bottle from his luggage. Wen Ji took it and sprinkled some medicine powder on Ji Heng's wound.

Ji Heng didn't move at all, and didn't show any expression, as if he couldn't feel the pain at all. Zhao Ke said: "My lord, did you get injured by fighting with others outside?"

He didn't know that Ji Heng's wound was not caused by someone else, but Jiang Li's accidental injury. It's just that the wound is a bit strange, the shape of the wound doesn't look like a sword, nor does it look like a hidden weapon, it looks completely disorganized, as if it was done by someone without martial arts. However, the strike is very heavy, but if a man tries his best, it will not stop at this point. Could it be that it was a woman who fought with my lord? Zhao Ke thought wildly in his heart, there wouldn't be any women in King Cheng's army. But if it wasn't for Cheng Wang's soldiers and horses, what other enemies were there nearby?

Wen Ji helped Ji Heng bandage the wound. He was very familiar with what he did. Even though he was a tall man, his work was also very meticulous. Ji Heng took off his outer robe. Even though the red color does not show any blood stains, there are still some stains on it. If you look carefully, you can still see it.

"My lord..." Wen Ji asked hesitantly, "Why do you want to go back?"

Wen Renyao and Lu Ji couldn't feel it, but Zhao Ke and Ji Heng could feel it. Ji Heng suddenly left the carriage and turned back in the daytime, and the direction of going back was exactly the direction they came from.

Zhao Ke was stunned, and he was also curious, but he didn't dare to ask this question, because Wen Ji had the courage to ask it. Ji Heng didn't answer Wen Ji's words, but just looked at the wound on his hand, where Wen Ji had bandaged it properly, and said, "Do your own thing."

He stopped laughing, and both Wen Ji and Zhao Ke shuddered, knowing that Ji Heng was showing displeasure, so they didn't say anything immediately. I went to watch the night at the bedding place at the door just now.

Ji Heng sat on the stone bench with deep eyes.

He did something he shouldn't have done.

...

The next day, when Jiang Li got up, Wen Renyao was talking to Ji Heng outside.

When Lu Ji and Wen Renyao got up, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Ji Heng was there. After confirming that Ji Heng was safe and sound, they pestered Ji Heng to ask what they did with their marriage yesterday, but of course Ji Heng didn't answer. After making a fuss several times, Wen Renyao calmed down.

Jiang Li and Lu Ji greeted Renyao, and also greeted Ji Heng. They both knew each other, as if nothing happened last night. Everyone hurried on their way and got into the carriage. On the way, Jiang Li was more silent than before. If Wen Renyao hadn't been constantly looking for something to talk to her, Jiang Li would not even have said a word along the way. This silence was seen by Wen Renyao, and even Lu Ji asked what happened to Jiang Li with concern.

Jiang Li had no choice but to prevaricate with the question that she was thinking about how to deal with her father after returning to Yanjing.

"What's so difficult?" Wen Renyao said, "You just need to blame us for these things. You were taken to Huangzhou by Cheng Wang's men, and happened to be rescued by Ah Heng. You proposed to go back to Yan Beijing, but Ah Heng is too busy to find someone to escort you back to Beijing. You have no choice but to wait until now. Even if Jiang Yuanfu wants to say something, it has nothing to do with you. You let him go to the Duke’s Mansion to find Ah Heng, and let Ah Heng Heng and talk to him."

Jiang Li: "..."

Wen Renyao really knows the truth of misfortune.

"I don't know how Yanjing is doing now." Lu Ji sighed.

"What is Yanjing City like?" Lin Yao asked, "Brother, are there many people in Yanjing City?"

"Of course." Wen Renyao said: "Yanjing City is much bigger than Huangzhou, and the emperor lives in Yanjing City. The girls there are also beautiful. For example, your sister Jiang is a girl from Yanjing City. What do you say Are the girls in Yanjing City pretty?"

Lin Yao was still young, so he probably couldn't tell whether Wen Renyao said "whether it looks good or not", but he was excited and nervous, and said, "Then shall we stay in Yanjing City from now on?"

"Uh..." Wen Renyao choked for a moment. He heard that he often traveled around, similar to Ye Mingyu. He couldn't answer Lin Yao's words, so he had to say: "Let's stay there for now, and I will take you out more in the future. Let's go, Yanjing City is actually not so good..."

He said it for a while and couldn't say it for a while, which made Lin Yao also puzzled. Jiang Li looked at Wen Renyao's nonsense, and suddenly thought of something, and asked: "If we are on the current itinerary, King Cheng's soldiers and horses are faster than us, when we arrive in Yanjing City, will it I met Chengwang's people outside the city. Or when we first entered the city, when Shangwang Chengwang entered the city, there was chaos at that time, I am afraid that the city gate will not be opened, how can we enter the city?"

Ji Heng didn't answer, but Lu Ji opened his mouth, and Lu Ji patiently explained: "Miss Jiang, this path we take will be a little closer than the other path. Besides, we are in a hurry, and we will be like a king's soldiers. Arrive at Yanjing City earlier. As for the city gate, you don't have to worry about it."

Hearing this, Jiang Li felt relieved.

After that, as Lu Ji said, the journey went very smoothly. After walking out of the most difficult mountain road, even the trail, the distance began to speed up. No more uninvited guests.

By the morning of the seventh day, Yanjing City was within easy reach.

When I was in Huangzhou City before, I didn't feel it, but when I was about to return to Yanjing City, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel light. It seems that Yanjing has not been affected by King Cheng's soldiers and horses, at least no strange people have been seen. However, there are many fewer people coming and going inside and outside the city gate, maybe the common people are still a little scared after all. The young generals at the gate of the city were much more cautious than they had seen before, and they had to check carefully every time they passed by.

Wen Renyao looked outside and said, "It seems that King Cheng hasn't come here yet."

"That's coming soon." Lu Ji said, jumped out of the carriage, holding the order guide in his hand, and went outside to say something to the two young generals guarding the city. The young generals did not carefully check the inside and outside of the carriage as before, but gave way respectfully. Jiang Li guessed that Lu Ji did not conceal Ji Heng's identity, so it was so smooth.

The carriage drove to the city gate.

Outside was the familiar hustle and bustle. Wen Renyao opened the curtain of the carriage by half, let Lin Yao take a look, and said, "Look, this is Yanjing City."

After all, it was a child, who was immediately dazzled by the prosperity of Yanjing City. Lin Yao murmured: "Brother, the streets in Yanjing City are so wide, wider than our two roads!"

"That's it." Wen Renyao is not from Yanjing, but he also showed a proud look, "otherwise how can we teach Yanjing City?"

Jiang Li couldn't help laughing as she listened to the conversation between the older and the younger. But bumped into Ji Heng's eyes, he still had a smile on his lips, as if he was just staring at Jiang Li indifferently, Jiang Li tilted his head, turned sideways, avoided his gaze, and followed Lin Yao to look outside .

On the streets are sugar sellers, dough makers, jugglers, and the voices of storytellers. Compared with the messy and scorched Huangzhou at that time, Yanjing is like a paradise. Those wars, corpses, fires and fears are far, far away, and they are two distinctly different worlds.

Jiang Li was also a little dazed.

She was still thinking about saying goodbye to Ji Heng and the others here, and going back to the mansion directly. But this may even arouse Jiang Yuanbai's suspicion even more, which is a bit of a cover-up. But asking them to go to Jiang's house with him is a bit strange.

She went back to Jiang's house first, and Ye Mingyu would definitely get the news and come over soon. With the previous incident, Jiang Yuanbai might not let her leave the house easily.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Lin Yao stretching his hand out the window of the carriage. He probably felt novelty seeing the jugglers outside, so he stood up, staggering, half of his body was outside the car window, Jiang Li was startled, and said: "Xiao Yao, come down, you are really dangerous like this!"

As soon as the words fell, the carriage suddenly shook, and the front did not know what was going on, as if the horses were frightened. The entire carriage shook violently, and then came to a sudden stop. Lin Yao swayed and fell out of the carriage.

Jiang Li exclaimed.

He was still a child, if he fell like this, he might die!

Jiang Li didn't care about anything else, and immediately ran out of the carriage. Outside the carriage, there were already a lot of spectators around, but Jiang Li's heart tightened when she didn't hear the child's voice, and she couldn't bear to watch, Zhao Ke and Wen Jicai were about to calm down the frightened horses.

At this moment, a soft female voice suddenly came, and she said, "Whose child is this?"

Jiang Li looked up.

In front of her, stood a young woman, this woman was born extremely well, so glamorous could almost be said to be too much. However, amidst the glamorous beauty, there is a hint of sassy heroism. She was wearing a red dress on horseback, pretty and lively, and she didn't look like a Yanjing person. She held a whip in one hand and grabbed Lin Yao in the other. Lin Yao looked at Jiang Li in shock, and suddenly let out a "wow" burst into tears.

He reached out to Jiangli: "Sister!"

"This is your younger brother?" The woman let go of her hand while she was talking, and Lin Yao stumbled towards Jiang Li, and threw herself into Jiang Li's arms, sobbing, her body trembling, looking quite frightened.

Jiang Li said: "Thank you, Miss, for saving me."

The woman raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when her eyes suddenly passed behind Jiang Li and stopped.

If Jiang Li realized something, she turned around.

Behind him, Ji Heng came out.
