Marriage of the Di Daughter
Chapter 209
Ji Heng and Jiang Li went to the study.
His study room was as cold and deserted as ever, and it was incompatible with his gorgeous appearance. After Jiang Li arrived at the study, Ji Heng didn't go in, he said, "I'll go change clothes first."
His inner clothes were stained with a lot of mud, and Jiang Li could wash his hands with water, but he had to change into another clothes. She was sitting in front of Ji Heng's desk, and there were some writing papers on his desk, which should be the paper he used to practice calligraphy. Jiang Li picked it up and saw that Ji Heng's handwriting was unexpectedly beautiful, and the strokes were thick and colorful, quite murderous.
Much like himself. He doesn't write any poems either, it looks like the words and sentences in the play, Jiang Li looked at it and put it aside.
The tea on the table was hot, and there were two teacups. It seemed that he had known that Jiangli would come, so he set up two teacups in advance. He always poured tea for Jiang Li, but this time, Jiang Li also filled two teacups with tea and put a cup on the opposite side.
Just after doing all this, someone pushed the door open and came in.
Ji Heng changed his clothes quickly, and he put on another red outer dress. Almost all of his clothes were red, but the pattern embroidered with gold thread and silver thread was different. Jiang Li looked at him with his chin on his shoulders. He raised his eyebrows and asked as he sat down, "Look at what I'm doing?"
"Brothers and sisters from the Yin family came to our house today." Jiang Li said, "Yin Zhan's daughter is the girl who we saved Xiaoyao on the street that day."
Ji Heng stared at her without saying a word, her smile was also faint, and she couldn't tell what was on her mind.
"When she was leaving, she asked me about you." Jiang Li said: "She asked me, who was you who was with us that day."
"Did you tell her?" Ji Heng asked.
"I said it, if I don't tell her, she will know sooner or later."
Ji Heng looked at Jiang Li, and said something unclear: "You are generous."
Jiang Li didn't understand what he meant by saying this, telling Yin Zhiqing that he was generous? Ji Heng dressed so ostentatiously all day long, as long as he had the heart, he could find out after a little inquiring. Besides, Yin Zhiqing asked herself, could she still say no? You must know that when she stood with Ji Heng that day, she clearly knew Ji Heng. If you don't tell Yin Zhiqing, Yin Zhiqing will think she did it on purpose.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li felt a little annoyed in her heart. If you want to blame it, you can blame Ji Heng himself. It is clear that he did not get out of the carriage that day. If he did not get out of the carriage, Yin Zhiqing did not see Ji Heng, so naturally there would not be so many things.
Ji Heng didn't seem to notice her annoyance, and only asked, "Why did the brothers and sisters of the Yin family go to the Jiang family suddenly? Jiang Yuanbai and the Yin family seem to have had no contact in the past."
"I didn't have any relationship at first, but now..." Jiang Li was taken aback, of course she knew why. Because the "Ruyi Langjun" that the Jiang family looked up to for her was Yin Zhili.
She could have said this frankly, but for some reason, she just couldn't get it out of her mouth.
"The Yin family is going to be in-laws with the Jiang family, right?" Ji Heng asked with a half-smile.
Jiang Li suddenly raised her head and met Ji Heng's beautiful amber phoenix eyes. The emotion in his eyes was deep, and Jiang Li couldn't see it clearly, but felt that the meaning in his words was also somewhat provocative and provocative.
Ji Heng knew about this? Also, if he wanted to inquire about something, as long as there were traces to follow, he would naturally be able to inquire about it. Besides, he has been so concerned about Yin Zhan's family from the very beginning, and Ji Heng is in control of every move of the Yin family.
Now that he already knew that Jiang Li's entanglement and embarrassment before, he simply didn't need it now. She nodded: "Maybe."
"The husband I showed you?" Ji Heng asked with a smile.
Jiang Li gritted her teeth and said, "Maybe."
"Then what do you think?" He asked with great interest.
Jiang Li looked at him, Ji Heng didn't seem to be affected by the news at all, and was even in the mood to ask her these things. In Jiang Li's heart, a self-deprecating smile floated up. Sure enough, he could leave anytime and anywhere to be an outsider. For him, the affairs of Jiang's family were just a play that he could watch or not watch. He can even be called a friend to himself, and he has done a lot of things for himself, but in terms of emotions, he will always stop here just right.
"I don't have any idea." Jiang Li said: "I don't know what the Yin family is now. If the Jiang family marry the Yin family rashly, if they get on a thief ship, it will be difficult to think about it."
"Other than that?" Ji Heng raised his eyebrows, leaned back, played with the folding fan in his hand, and said casually, "Are you tempted by Yin Zhili?"
His movements were casual, but there was an imperceptible coldness in his tone. Jiang Li didn't pay attention, she thought for a while, then looked at Ji Heng, and said seriously: "The Duke of the country knows that when I was Xue Fangfei, I had already suffered a lot, so I have to be easily tempted , it’s really not easy.”
"Yin Zhili looks pretty good. I heard that your family also likes him very much." Ji Heng said, "You don't mean to like him at all?"
He was not such a boring person. Even when he knew she was Xue Fangfei, Ji Heng didn't ask any more questions about the past and grievances between her and Shen Yurong, as if he didn't care at all. If it was someone else, I'm afraid they would have already made indirect inquiries. Ji Heng was different, he didn't seem to have any curiosity about people who had nothing to do with him, so he watched indifferently most of the time.
Today, he asked a lot of questions inexplicably, which shows that he values the Yin family very much.
"I don't mean to like it at all." Jiang Li said: "The prince of the county seems to be a good person. In all fairness, he is much better than Shen Yurong. But it may be that Shen Yurong made me avoid medical treatment. The better the person, the more suspicious I am. The less you dare to get close, naturally you can't say whether you like it or not, and you won't be tempted or not."
What she said was sincere and sincere, and it was indeed what Jiang Li thought. Ji Heng listened, and suddenly asked her: "You mean, I'm not a good person anymore?"
Jiang Li was taken aback for a moment, only to hear him say again: "You didn't keep me at arm's length."
"Of course the Duke is a good person." Jiang Li smiled, and she said: "But the kindness of the Duke is not the same as theirs. Shen Yurong is a duplicity, with a human face and a beast's heart. Yin Zhili seems to have righteousness in his heart. Of course he has righteousness in his heart." It's a good thing, but the person who stands beside the righteous man is only afraid that one day he will betray himself for the sake of the world. As for the Duke, I think he would rather betray the world than let the world betray you... people who matter."
He laughed softly, as if Jiang Li's words made him feel very happy. He said, "I've said it a long time ago, your mouth is really sweet, and you tell the truth when you lie."
"I'm not lying, the Duke is just such a person." The girl smiled and repeated stubbornly.
Maybe it's really good to be with a good person like Yin Zhili. But such a good person may one day be worthy of the world, but he is sorry for himself. Ji Heng is really a villain in everyone's eyes. Others think he is scary and moody, but such a villain, when the world and his own people are presented to him one day to choose, he will definitely choose his own people. Jiang Li will never Suspect.
Perhaps it was because he was completely different from Shen Yurong that she treated him differently.
Ji Heng said: "Then don't lie now, answer my question."
Jiang Li said: "Okay."
"Apart from Shen Yurong, have you ever been tempted by anyone else?"
His voice dissipated into the night, more intoxicating than the spring breeze. Jiang Li stared blankly at the person in front of him. He had a smile on his lips, and his eyes were touching. He sat in front of her gently and bewitchingly, giving people an illusion. He is a spirit that grows from deep mountains, devours people's sincerity for a living, and kills people.
Aren't all the evildoers who wreak havoc on the country all women in the legend? But he is a man.
Jiang Li lowered her head, her voice was gentle, she said: "No."
Ji Heng's eyes flickered, he knocked on the table with the fan handle, and said, "Okay."
The suffocating dullness disappeared, and he finally let her go.
"I don't care what Jiang Yuanbai's idea is, but Yin Zhili, you have to keep a distance from him." Ji Heng said.
Jiang Li said: "Why?"
"Since you don't like him, there is no need to stay with him all the time. You always ask me what is the relationship between the Yin family and the Duke's mansion. I can tell you that Yin Zhan will die under my hands sooner or later." It is impossible for Yin Zhili and Yin Zhiqing not to become my enemies. Ah Li," he said softly, "don't get entangled with my enemies, and don't make things difficult for me."
his enemy?
This was the first time that Ji Heng had admitted in front of Jiang Li that the Yin family did have an enmity with the Duke's mansion. But why, just as Jiang Li wanted to ask, Ji Heng said, "Don't ask why, I can't tell you."
"Does the Yin family know that they are enemies with you?" Jiang Li asked.
Ji Heng smiled, and said, "Yin Zhan must know."
Yin Zhan must know, which means that Yin Zhili and Yin Zhiqing might not know? In this way, Jiang Li was even more certain that the grievances between the Yin family and the Duke's Mansion were related to Ji Heng's parents.
But Ji Heng didn't say anything, and it was useless for her to ask.
"What about Yin Zhiqing?" Jiang Li asked, "No matter what I do, the Lord of Pingyang County took the initiative to ask me to find out about you. I think it must not be a whim. Grandpa, she may think that Grandpa is very good."
"Are you jealous? Second Miss?" He raised his eyebrows and asked back.
"Nothing."
"That's really regrettable." He always said some misleading words, Ji Heng said: "You don't have to worry about Yin Zhiqing's words. As I said before, it's best not to appear in front of me with vulgar fans. "
He likes the beautiful and hates the ugly, this is a fact that everyone in the world knows, but... Jiang Li said: "There is really nothing to be picky about the appearance of the Pingyang County Lord."
Ji Heng shook his head, "Women in the world, Xue Fangfei is considered a beauty."
Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat, she didn't understand what Ji Heng meant, so she had to remind her: "Xue Fangfei is dead."
"So now all the women in the world are all vulgar fans in my eyes." He said with a smile.
Jiang Li: "Master Guo even scolded me."
"You are different," he pondered for a moment, "you are cuter than them."
Jiangli: "..."
...
After returning from the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Li never fell asleep again, and fell asleep almost as soon as she went to bed. It took a lot of effort to plant trees at night, and I was so tired that I naturally slept soundly. Later in the morning of the second day, Tong'er and Baixue were surprised to find that the soles of her new shoes were covered with mud. past.
After that, nothing special happened in Yanjing City. I don't know if what Jiang Li said in the Wanfengtang earlier touched the Jiang family. At least for the past half month, Mrs. Jiang has not replaced Yin Zhan with Jiang Li. The two brothers and sisters of the Yin family did not come to Jiang's residence as "guests".
This made Jiang Li breathe a sigh of relief, she still remembered Ji Heng's reminder. Although she knew in her heart that the Jiang family should not get too close to the Yin family, if Jiang Yuanbai insisted on going his own way, there was nothing she could do. This time it saves some things.
Jiang Li thought that in the past two days, she could sneak out of the house and go to Ye's house while the concierge was not paying attention. However, the concierge of the Jiang family became more and more strict.
In the past half month, King Cheng's soldiers and horses stood still, just outside Yanjing City, but they did not attack or retreat for a long time, which made the people in Yanjing City also tremble. I can't go out, so I stay at home every day. There are a lot fewer pedestrians walking around on the street.
Jiang Li knew that as time went by day by day, Cheng Wang's soldiers and horses could not be consumed, and sooner or later they would attack the gate of Yanjing City. As for how General Zhaode will respond at that time, Jiang Li can't imagine for the time being.
until that day.
That day was a night.
Jiang Li went to bed early at night and slept until night when suddenly there was noise outside. Jiang Li woke up in a daze. At first, she thought she was dreaming, but then she found that the lights in the yard were brightly lit, and she was not the only one who woke up, so she realized that was not the case.
She put on her clothes and got out of bed, walked to the yard, and stood at the gate of the yard when she saw the maids running around in a hurry. Tong'er and Bai Xue were also outside, and it seemed that they were just about to wake her up. Jiang Li felt strange, so she asked, "Tong Er, what's going on?"
Tong'er said: "Girl, are you up? The servant is going to wake you up. The old lady told you to go to the Wanfeng Hall quickly, and don't stay in the yard."
The anxiety in her tone couldn't be concealed, and outside the courtyard, there seemed to be noises from the people next door. Jiang Li was surprised, and a thought came to her mind. She pulled Tong'er aside, and said in a low voice : "Cheng Wang made a move?"
"Girl, how did you know?" Tong'er looked at her in surprise, and then said, "The Second Master's people told us not to talk about it everywhere, so as not to panic everyone. Girl, let's go to Wanfengtang first, Wanfeng There are guards from the mansion outside the hall, so it should be safer."
The matter was of great importance, so Jiang Li didn't delay, and walked outside after saying yes.
When we got to the Wanfeng Hall, we found that there were all the dark people in the Wanfeng Hall. Everyone from the first room and the second room was there, even the maids and servants were standing at the entrance of the Wanfeng Hall. It's also a loss that the third house of the family is not here, otherwise there are so many people, one Wanfeng Hall may not be enough to stand. There were guards outside, Mrs. Jiang let them walk into the room inside the Wanfeng Hall.
Jiang Bingji was a child, and when he sensed that the atmosphere was not right, he opened his mouth to cry. After Mrs. Jiang persuaded him a few words, Jiang Bingji calmed down, was tired from crying again, and soon fell asleep, Mrs. Jiang handed him over to the nanny, who took him to sleep in the back room.
Jiang Youyao was also sitting in the room, one of her eyes was wrapped with a white gauze, so that the servants would not be too scared when they saw her face. However, the other intact eye was also dumbfounded, and he sat on the chair foolishly without saying a word.
Lu Shi was a little scared. Although she no longer hated Jiang Youyao as before, she still couldn't get close to Jiang Youyao. Seeing Jiang Youyao's appearance, she felt more and more panicked, so she got closer to Jiang Li.
"Where are father and second uncle?" Jiang Li asked without seeing Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping.
"They have gone out and are not in the mansion. But your second uncle said that our mansion is safe and nothing will happen. Xiaoli don't have to worry." Lu said with a smile. It's just that although she said this, there was some panic in her tone. Jiang Li knew that people in Yanjing City hadn't encountered a war for many years, but they would be a little scared when they heard what King Cheng did in Huangzhou City.
Jiang Li said: "I think General Zhaode will take care of everything."
What she said is not a lie, Yin Zhan still has the mind to let Yin Zhili come to Jiang's house to do these things, if it is really at the end of the mountain, how can he have such thoughts. It can be seen that Cheng Wang is not very scary to him. Jiang Li could also see clearly that Ji Heng's attitude towards King Cheng was not at all fearful, but he took this General Zhaode seriously.
Thinking that Yanjing City will be very peaceful tonight, and Yin Zhan will win the hearts of many people in this battle with King Cheng. It's just that they are in the city now, and they can't hear what's going on outside. On the contrary, these maids and servants were all talking in low voices at the door, looking very dazed and frightened.
Jiang Jingrui asked Jiang Li: "Why are you not afraid at all?"
"Second Aunt has already said that nothing will happen. Besides, His Majesty specially asked General Zhaode to return to Beijing just to deal with King Cheng."
"Ah, I heard that General Zhaode also made a lot of military exploits in the past." Speaking of Yin Zhan, Jiang Jingrui seemed very interested. He said, "I wonder if Big Brother Yin will also become a general in the future."
He affectionately called Yin Zhili Brother Yin, and he didn't seem to feel anything wrong. Jiang Li heard it in her ears, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart. Whoever said that the son of a general is a general. Ji Heng's father is still General Jin Wu, and he has never seen Ji Heng pick up a spear for so many years. General Jin Wu's Tiger Talisman has not been found yet, and Jiang Li's heart moved, maybe Ji Heng is hiding some tricks, saying that General Jin Wu's soldiers and horses are all abolished, but in fact it is not, and he is waiting to confront Yin Zhan one day When, suddenly appeared?
But in this way, Emperor Hong Xiao will definitely be suspicious. Jiang Li's mind was full of wild thoughts. Unknowingly, the room felt quiet, and no one spoke anymore. Everyone's expression is dignified. As time goes by like this, I don't know if the enemy army will break through the city gate in the next moment and start killing in Yanjing City. No one can say whether they can survive tonight, of course Not in the mood to talk and laugh. Even the little things outside and the maids were silent, everyone was looking at the sky in the yard, guessing every possible situation outside.
...
In the Duke's mansion, it's the same as before. No one deliberately gathered in one place, nor did they mobilize all the guards in the mansion. It's just that Old General Ji went around the study, walked up to the golden armor, touched it lovingly, and finally walked to the wall, and found a long knife on the wall covered with weapons. Pulling out the long knife, I moved a stool and sat in the yard. The long knife hadn't been used for a long time, and it was rusty. He rolled up his sleeves and sat in the yard sharpening his knife.
In the dark night, such a silver-haired old man was sitting in the yard, slowly sharpening the knife, making a teeth-stinging sound. If anyone walked by, they would be frightened. The servants in the Duke's Mansion have long been accustomed to it and don't think there is anything wrong. But the starling hanging under the eaves didn't say anything nice when it saw someone tonight, it just kept flopping about in the cage, seeming a little anxious.
The boy named Ah Zhao also woke up from the house in the middle of the night.
Outside the house, there were also faint and noisy voices. He rubbed the torch on the bedside cabinet, lit the oil lamp, and saw that there seemed to be a figure outside the house. Ah Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and called out uncertainly: "Doctor Situ?"
The figure was about to walk over, but after hearing this, he paused, turned back, opened the door and walked in. Seeing Ah Zhao like this, Situ Jiuyue frowned and asked, "Why are you awake?"
"It's very noisy outside, so I just woke up." He looked at Situ Jiuyue's well-dressed appearance, and wondered, "Doctor Situ has to go out so late, is... what happened outside?"
"King Cheng rebelled and started tonight. It's very chaotic outside." Situ Jiuyue glanced at him, "Go on to sleep, don't come out." After finishing speaking, he was about to close the door and go out.
"Wait." Ah Zhao called to stop her.
Situ Jiuyue asked impatiently, "What else do you need?"
"King Cheng rebelled, the people in this mansion...wouldn't have any problems?" A Zhao asked.
Situ Jiuyue laughed, and said: "If you are worried about your own danger, there is no need, this is the Duke's Mansion. In Yanjing City, there is no safer place than here, even the palace is more dangerous than here. If you live here, no one will dare to break in and take your life, not to mention that King Cheng has not yet entered the city, even if King Cheng has entered the city, as long as you are in this mansion, no one will dare to take your life .”
Ah Zhao was stunned for a moment before replying: "That's not what I meant. No matter how strong the wall is, it's always done by people. Sometimes accidents are not caused by people with bad skills, but because they are afraid that people will take advantage of their loopholes and be caught off guard." He laughed Laugh: "That's what I am."
Now, it was Situ Jiuyue's turn to be dazed.
"Doctor Situ is a doctor and also a woman. If he is in danger, he may not be able to save himself..."
"Could it be that you want me to stay here?" Situ Jiuyue raised his eyebrows, "You can't even walk now, how can you protect me?"
"I didn't mean to say that. I just asked Dr. Situ to find someone with high martial arts skills. Don't stay alone. However, if there is no one in the house, when Dr. Situ is in danger, I will happen to be by his side, even if I can't help it." If you get out of bed and walk around, you will also lose your martial arts, so it is okay to help Doctor Situ block swords and swords."
If an ordinary man utters his words, the woman will inevitably feel that the other party is a little glib, obviously trying to please others. However, when Ah Zhao said it, he was very sincere, making people believe that he really thought so, and he could do it by saying it.
"I don't understand," Situ Jiuyue said calmly, "You are not related to me. According to what you say, you are willing to sacrifice your life for me. Why? Just because I saved your life, you want this return?"
"Even if Doctor Situ didn't save my life, I would still help when I was in danger. Because Doctor Situ is a woman and I am a man, a man should protect the unarmed elderly, children and girls, right?"
His eyes were bright, but he was particularly determined amidst the noise. It's really strange, it's clearly a person who has lost all martial arts, and now he can't walk. It's impossible for such a person to really protect anyone. But Situ Jiuyue felt that being by this person's side made her feel very at ease.
She said: "Then you are wrong, I am not a weak girl with no defense. When I was six years old, my uncle killed my father. In order to take away everything my father owned, do you know what I did?" what?"
Ah Zhao shook his head.
"I drugged their cook, threatened the cook to tamper with their food, and added the poison I specially prepared. I gave it to their whole family, and my aunt, her son and daughter all ate the poison. If Without an antidote, his whole body would fester and die within three days. I thought he would be willing to exchange his own life for the lives of his wife and children. This would be considered revenge for my father. Who knows that he is really non-toxic and not a husband? , actually watched his wife and children die of pain."
A Zhao looked at Situ Jiuyue, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"After that, he tried everything possible to catch me and kill me. Because my existence was a threat to him. On the way I escaped from my hometown, I didn't know how many people I killed. Since I was six years old , I started killing people. I really don’t have martial arts, and the people who chased me were all masters, but they all died in my hands, because every part of my body and every item on my body may be poisonous.”
She talked about these things lightly, as if it couldn't be more normal, "I know you want to be a knight, maybe you used to be such a person. Punish the evil and promote the good, help the justice, help the weak, and help the weak when you see injustice. It made you want to be a hero and saved people's lives, which is a happy thing for everyone."
"I don't like this," Situ Jiuyue said, "I've always believed in the law of the jungle since I was a child. I don't need others to save me. If anyone hurts me, I will kill him. I am not the same as you, so don't think about protecting me." Me, save me, to me, that's ridiculous and unnecessary."
She said: "You have a good rest." After saying this, she turned and walked out.
Suddenly think Situ is handsome?
