Marriage of the Di Daughter

"Because he is Ji Heng's enemy, he is destined to never die."

The air in the room seemed to be solidified, and the candle was faltering in the lantern, as if it was about to fall over in the next moment, and burned out together with the lantern.

Jiang Li stretched out her hand to support the lantern, and Yin Zhiqing seemed to have just realized it. She said, "Do you think I will believe your nonsense? Our Yin family has lived in the cloud for many years. Why do we have an enmity with Su Guogong? Yin Zhili captive It is his fault to leave you, but it is not the reason for you to slander the Yin family casually!"

"What reason do you need?" Jiang Li said lightly: "The reason why the Yin family left Yanjing is the reason. The Yin family didn't hurt Ji Heng, so didn't they hurt Ji Heng's family? I'm afraid not."

Yin Zhi was trembling with emotion, the more calm Jiang Li was, the more she seemed to be making trouble for no reason, and wanted to defend the Yin family, but she didn't know where to start. The more she looked at Jiang Li, the more dazzling she became. For some reason, she blurted out, "Even if you are telling the truth, you think too highly of yourself! You say that you are the one who threatens Duke Su. How is this possible? Everyone knows Su The Duke is ruthless and ungrateful, and loves to stand on the sidelines. You are just a bargaining chip given to his wife by the emperor, a bargaining chip between high-ranking officials! Why would he be in danger for the bargaining chip, so you don't have to be sentimental, you can rest assured , he will not be willing to be manipulated by others for you, nor will he worry about his life for you!"

"Really?" Jiang Li smiled instead. Her tone was almost soft, and she said: "Master Pingyang, if you haven't seen something, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist in the world. If you can't get something, It's not that everyone else can't get it. The marriage that Jiheng himself asked the emperor, even if it is a bargaining chip, I have value, you are not as good as me, otherwise he will ask His Majesty to marry you."

"You..." Yin Zhiqing was dumbfounded, and Jiang Li's words "boomed" in her head. Her hidden thoughts were uttered in such a tone by another overcomer. She couldn't stay here any longer, and broke open the door and ran out. He didn't even care if Jiang Li had anything in the food basket.

The moment she knocked open the door, Jiang Li could see clearly that there were officers and soldiers guarding all sides of the room, yes, officers and soldiers in armor.

Jiang Li sat down on the chair again and realized that things were worse than she thought. If this matter is led by Yin Zhili alone, it is easy to say, I have met Yin Zhili several times, no matter how scheming he is, this person is a bit indecisive and soft-hearted, Jiang Li can still find opportunities. But it seems that Yin Zhili just accepted this matter, and it was undoubtedly Yin Zhan who arranged this matter. Only Yin Zhan would cut off Haitang's little finger without hesitation to threaten Jiangli, and the lines were full of viciousness.

Yin Zhan has arranged everything, Yin Zhili is just doing things according to Yin Zhan's arrangement. That's why Yin Zhiqing didn't know anything about it. What Jiang Li was worried about was that she couldn't see Yin Zhili, so she couldn't learn about Situ Jiuyue and Ye Mingyu.

But one thing is certain, since it was Yin Zhan's arrangement, Yin Zhili's road is Yin Zhan's back road. If Yin Zhan is fighting Ji Heng now, he must not be far from here. So that once the result happens, Yin Zhan can order Yin Zhili to prepare a second plan, which is to threaten Ji Heng with himself.

Jiang Li couldn't help clenching her fists.

He knew that Ji Heng was nearby, but he didn't know where Ji Heng was or what the situation was now. But she can't do anything, the only thing she can hope for is that Yin Zhili can follow the agreement and let Ye Mingyu and others go.

Otherwise... She looked at the food basket on the table, and the shattered plates were also extremely sharp. Living in this world is not easy, but dying is easy.

She can't lose everything in this deal.

...

It snows heavily in Qingzhou.

The north of the Changhe is north, and the south of the Changhe is south. Qingzhou is located on the bank of the Changhe River. In spring, it looks like a southern country, with red flowers and willows, and in winter, it looks like a northern country, with snow in the sky.

But even in the bleak winter, the red building is still warm and lively, stepping into it, it seems to make people think that it is still March of fireworks. The young women wore thin gauze skirts, stepped barefoot on the snow-white carpet, with tiny silver bells adorning their hands and feet, all of them were soft and graceful, charming and charming. The candle is carved into the shape of a hibiscus flower, which blooms layer by layer as the wick burns. Red tents and gold powder, singing and dancing, a treasury hides countless jewels, and also hides beauties who can't be bought with jewels.

There are officials in official uniforms, scholars in white clothes, knights with swords on their backs, and prodigal sons. One night here is just to seek comfort and warmth in winter, nobility and nobility, there is no difference.

On the second floor, bead curtains separate each room. The twinkling bead curtains are illuminated by the lights, like the crystal flowers flying around in the legendary dragon's palace. It’s also like the icicles hanging on the trees outside the snow-white land in winter. People can’t help but feel pity that it won’t be long before the beautiful scenery melts and the spring night will no longer be.

There is a drama on stage.

In the Red Chamber, there has never been a troupe on stage before. There are only women's singing and dancing, and opera troupes are things that the wives and ladies of rich families love to watch. Everything here is for men. Today's theater troupes are naturally also men's ideas, and this guest can make the proprietress of the red building change her mind. It can be seen that it is It's a big deal of money.

What the troupe on stage sang was none other than "Farewell My Concubine", the favorite song of many wives and wives. It has been a sad fact since ancient times that a beauty bids farewell to a hero. People sigh for the heroes, some admire the beauties' love and righteousness, some think that the winners and losers, and some people think that everything is just the joys and sorrows of others. After watching a scene, you forget it.

There are beauties in the hall, beauties on the stage, and a beauty in red sitting in the bead curtain. His red robe was as bright as flowing fire, slowly pouring down. The collar of the robe was embroidered with black pythons, adding a sense of gloom to the gorgeous color. However, his face was extremely beautiful, even more beautiful than the oil paint on the stage, and the rumored alluring concubine Yu Ji. A pair of affectionate amber phoenix eyes seemed drunk but not drunk, the corners of his lips were smiling, and the pearl light of hibiscus was reflected on the bead curtain, passing across his long eyelashes, and the straight bridge of his nose fell on his rosy thin lips. He was holding a gorgeous folding fan in his hand, shaking it slowly.

As if to drive away the frivolity and enthusiasm in this room.

Beside him, there were some other people sitting, all dressed in brocade clothes and jade belts, they looked like ordinary sons and gentlemen, but there was no smile on their faces, and they all became a non-moving foil, a total of six people. Sitting next to the man in red was Zhao Ke and Wen Ji.

The color in the bead curtain is more attractive than the girls in the entire red building, but it is blocked by the bead curtain, which cuts off the peeping eyes of outsiders. In the teacup on the table, there is the aftertaste of green tea, and in the incense burner next to it, the fragrance curls up.

The people on the stage are singing: "Boldly break into the tiger's lair and lead the dragon into the beach. The troubled minister Li Zuoche sees you, the king is a thousand years old!"

In the room next door, the word "good" suddenly burst out! After applauding, he said "reward", and from a certain room on the second floor, an ingot of gold ingot flew out suddenly, flew over the heads of the opera singers on the stage, and landed on the front table. on the plate. The end is square, exactly in the upper left corner.

The people in the audience were stunned for a moment, cheered, and looked upstairs one after another.

Ji Heng kept playing with the fan, and turned his head slightly, as if he wanted to see who was in the next room through the bead curtain.

The actors on the stage didn't care about this and continued to sing. It doesn't matter what the nobles do, even if someone suddenly came to the stage to assassinate, as long as the person is not dead, the show must be finished. The children of the Liyuan are like this, otherwise they will annoy the nobleman, and it will be a miserable end.

The people on the stage were babbling and singing, and the people in the bead curtain next door kept yelling "good", and ingots of gold ingots flew downstairs, and they all landed squarely on the silver plate , unbiased, and the yards are neat. The applause grew louder downstairs. The actors sang even more vigorously, one after another, every time, every time, the blood of the people who almost surrounded them was surging, and their hearts were broken.

When he sang "I've made up my mind, I don't need to play any more. It's exactly: Mr. De must win today, and he will send troops to defeat the Han army." Ji Heng put away the folding fan in his hand and stood up.

He opened the bead curtain and walked out.

The other people in the room also followed, and saw the young man in red go to the next room—the room where gold ingots were always thrown out, and the curtain was raised with a fan to let him in.

It was a table of guests.

The good wine and dishes on the table are all beef baijiu, which is extremely luxurious. A total of seven people, clothed in cloth and leather boots, described as rough and bold, as if they were born in the army. The leading middle-aged man, tall and handsome, resolute and rough, was holding a dagger, cutting off a piece of beef forcefully, putting it in his mouth to chew, and pouring a jar of good wine with his head up, which only made people's blood surge up. This person is none other than Xia Junwang, Yin Zhan.

Ji Heng walked in with six men in brocade clothes behind him.

After Yin Zhan finished drinking, he shook the wine jar casually, wiped his mouth, and said happily, then looked at Ji Heng, and he laughed loudly: "Mr. Su is here too, please!"

Ji Heng didn't refuse, and sat down leisurely.

This room was very large and spacious, and only half of Yin Zhan's people sat on the long table. It seems that the other half is specially left for Ji Heng's people, as if he knew that Ji Heng would come. The two of them sat at both ends of the long table, Yin Zhan raised the wine jar to Ji Heng, Ji Heng smiled lightly, Wen Ji handed over a wine jug, he supported his head with one hand, raised his head to receive the wine, and served it flirtatiously, Unrestrained and boundless.

A toast.

Ji Heng raised the corners of his mouth, "The King Xia is really hard to find."

"Duke Su found it." Yin Zhan smiled indifferently, "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!" He raised the altar again: "Please!"

The laughter of the women outside, the ridicule of the men, and the cheers of the spectators all disappeared in an instant. Except for the guests at the table inside the bead curtain, only the actors on the stage outside were still singing non-stop.

"The light of the toad is extinguished, and the drum horn is desolate in the golden wind. I recall how many stars and frosts I have experienced since I was recruited into the battlefield. When will I be able to return home, and the weapons will destroy the sun and the moon." Yuji turned around, and her voice was sad and desolate: "The king of Western Chu Concubine Yu under the tent, she grew up in a deep boudoir, and she is a young lady who writes swords; since Suiding the king, he has fought in the east and the west, with hardships and hardships, and I don't know when there will be peace!"

"Concubine Yu, concubine Yu!" These words came from Yin Zhan's mouth, with a sad expression on his face, as if he had remembered something, and drank a glass of wine in suspense.

Ji Heng looked at him, and said with a half-smile, "Duke Xia expressed his feelings. I don't know if he thought of Lin Roujia, or my mother, Yu Hongye."

Yin Zhan froze while holding the wine jar. After a while, he looked at Ji Heng and said with a loud smile, "Hongye! The son born by Hongye is really as smart as Hongye."

Ji Heng took the jug and poured himself a small cup of wine. He took a sip and said with a smile: "It's a pity that no matter how smart he was, he died in the hands of King Xia."

This sentence is neither light nor serious, and the guests who were chatting and laughing in the house were all silent. No matter whether it is the rough man in linen leather boots or the son in brocade clothes, they all seem to have not heard this sentence. Still eat and drink, but don't talk.

The atmosphere at the banquet was so quiet that it was weird, and from the weirdness, there was another kind of misery.

The play outside continued until Han Xin made his contribution in ambush on all sides and got off the horse to climb the mountain. The Eighth Han will hold the banners and set up the formation, and Li Zuoche leads Xiang Yu into the formation.

"Prince Xiajun," Ji Heng said with a smile, "Ambush from ten sides, is this play very familiar, do you remember anything, do you need me to remind you, twenty-three years ago, Hongshan Temple, what did you do? Lure your brother, my father, into it, hundreds of archers blocked the road, and the arrows were poisoned. People all over the world praised General Zhaode as an upright man, but he forgot one sentence, no poison, no husband, right?"

Yin Zhan looked at the young man in front of him. This young man was so beautiful that even if he was talking about the tragedy of his biological father and mother, he could still smile casually. There was ferocious cruelty in that smile, almost devouring people, and it seemed to hide evil innocence, making people fall into the trap if they were not careful, and never get up again.

The face of Ji Heng in front of him suddenly became blurred, like his close friend Ji Minghan who always patted him on the shoulder and laughed, and also like Yu Hongye, who is bright, pungent and beautiful.

Twenty-three years ago, the Eastern Xia invaded, and the young General Jin Wu led the army. Yu Hongye from Yanjing died of a serious illness before Ji Minghan returned. No one in the world knew what was hidden in it, only that the servants inside and outside of Ji's family had been replaced. From then on, Ji Minghan disappeared, leaving only Ji Heng and the old general Ji to depend on each other.

What the truth is, no one cares. Time is like a long river, burying all the bright colors, becoming old and insignificant, sinking to the bottom of the river, and will never be mentioned again in the end. Not everyone forgets, however.

How did Yu Hongye die?

Yin Zhan remembered that afternoon decades ago, when he and the queen mother were hanging out in a corner of the palace, who would have thought that Yu Hongye would appear at that time. She came out just right, so that the palace guards outside didn't notice. Up to now, Yin Zhan still can't think of a reason why Yu Hongye appeared at that time.

But this is a serious crime of adultery in the harem, a serious crime of beheading. Yin Zhan still hesitated, but the queen mother had already ordered the palace people around her to grab Yu Hongye.

It has not been a year since Yu Hongye gave birth to Ji Heng, and Yin Zhan couldn't bear to do it. The concubine of the Yu family, although she is only a concubine, is famous all over the world, she is gorgeous and colorful, she is Ji Minghan's beloved woman. It's not that he didn't have a good time, he still remembers the joy of drinking heavily when he accompanied Ji Minghan to find Yu Hongye. Then carefree turned into murderous intentions, how could he attack this younger brother and sister.

Lin Roujia looked at him and said coldly, "Yin Zhan, do you want to kill me?"

At that moment, Yin Zhan was shocked and suddenly understood. He didn't hesitate any longer, and even asked his subordinates to rape Yu Hongye before killing her, and threw her at the door of Ji's house at night. Only in this way, for a corpse that has been abused, the Ji family must not dare to speak out in order to save face. And his good brother Ji Minghan, who loves Yu Hongye so much, will not let Yu Hongye be pointed out after his death.

Everything is as he planned.

Ji Heng was playing with the folding fan in his hand. His red dress was in the midst of a feast, and the red was shrill, and his voice was still smiling, but the smile was particularly gloomy and bitingly cold. "My mother's body back then, I was I've seen it with my own eyes."

With a light word, Yin Zhan suddenly understood what Ji Heng meant.

Can a one-year-old have memory? Can you be sensible? But maybe there is, after seeing such a scene, it may be the first time in his life that he came into contact with darkness. This day came too early, so he fell into hell early, made a deal with the devil, and reborn Back to the world.

Yin Zhan laughed and took a few sips of wine, and said to Ji Heng, "I'm really sorry!"

Everything was as Yin Zhan and Lin Roujia had expected. Yu Hongye was the daughter of a criminal minister and a concubine who had been demoted to a brothel before. Ji Minghan had committed public outrage by insisting on marrying Yu Hongye regardless of his family's obstruction. Now Yu Hongye is dead, just as the people in the Ji family want. When Ji Minghan, who returned triumphantly, learned that his beloved wife was dead, and wanted to seek justice for his beloved wife and find out the real culprit, he was stopped by all the elders of Ji's family.

They said that this kind of scandal should not be publicized, and the Ji family should not be made a joke of the world. Wouldn't everyone be happy to be buried for the crime of dying of a serious illness? Could it be that he wanted everyone in the world to know what happened to Yu Hongye before his death, that his body was not clean, did he really answer that sentence, that beauty is a disaster?

Even the old general Ji came to comfort Ji Minghan to keep quiet, so he swallowed his breath.

Ji Minghan was furious, and vowed to leave the Ji family group and cut off contact with the Ji family. After that, he left Ji Heng by the old general Ji's side, and went all out to find the real culprit.

It was not an easy day.

Yin Zhan actually didn't want to kill Ji Minghan. There are countless good men and heroes in the world, but he and Ji Minghan cherish each other. I only hope that one day the two of them can go to the battlefield together and fight against the enemy together. They talked about the sunset in the desert, the crescent moon in the snow-capped mountains, the bloodthirsty wolves, and the swamp full of poisonous snakes. They used to fight wine together in the building, and also rode horses in the martial arts training ground. Some people are as old as new, and some are as old as ever. Yin Zhan believes that the woman he loves the most in the world is Lin Roujia, and the man he admires the most is Ji Minghan.

Brotherly loyalty, brotherhood, how could he be able to deal with Ji Minghan?

Concubine Yu is singing: "Since I followed the king to the east and west stations, I have suffered from wind, frost and toil year after year. I only hate the inhumane Qin for ruining the lives of the people, which only caused the people to suffer and suffer."

Xiang Yu said: "The gun picked up several generals in the Han camp. How can Zong Ying beware of being buried on all sides."

Ji Heng smiled faintly, and took out a pearl the size of a thumb from his sleeve. With a wave of the fan, the pearl flew straight out of the tea curtain, and there was a crisp "plop" sound, and the pearl landed steadily on the table on the first floor. , in a small emerald bowl next to the silver plate with gold ingots.

"Good craftsmanship!" Yin Zhan clapped his hands in praise.

"Prince Xia's archery," Ji Heng said leisurely, "is also a unique skill."

Yin Zhan smiled without saying a word.

After Yu Hongye's death, Ji Minghan never gave up looking for the real culprit. Even if the Yin family disagreed, even if he left the Yin family, Ji Minghan would pay all the price to avenge Yu Hongye.

Yin Zhan didn't take it seriously at first, but Ji Minghan was too hasty. People in the world only say that generals only know how to fight, how can warriors have tricks. But he didn't know that Ji Minghan was a brave general, and even more so, an ingenious strategist. He was never stupid, and his mind was flexible, and he gradually discovered some clues.

Ji Minghan alone was not wary of Yin Zhan, probably never thought that his good brother would have any reason to kill his wife. He told Yin Zhan the clues he got, and Yin Zhan gradually became aware of the crisis. Although he and Lin Roujia were not implicated right now, after a long time, Lin Roujia would definitely be involved.

Yin Zhan himself is fine, but Lin Roujia can't die, Lin Roujia is pregnant.

In the palace, because of framing her favorite concubine, Lin Roujia took the initiative to go to the Hongshan Temple thousands of miles away to face the wall and meditate on Buddha in order to prove her innocence. If Ji Minghan found out the clues at this time, once Yin Zhan and Lin Roujia's affairs were exposed, not only he and Lin Roujia would die, but also innocent children. For this unborn child, Yin Zhan has great expectations. In order to protect Lin Roujia and protect this child, Yin Zhan can sacrifice everything, including Ji Minghan.

He told Ji Minghan that he had found the evidence of the murderer, and the matter was of great importance, but he was in Hongshan Temple right now, so he asked Ji Minghan to come. In Hongshan Temple, Yin Zhan ambushed hundreds of archers. To be safe, the arrows were quenched with the poison of Molan, sealing their throats with blood.

It was a very cold spring night. Until now, Yin Zhan didn’t know that it was clearly spring day. How could the wind be so cold that night, as if it wanted to pierce people’s bones, as if the water in the lake would be able to freeze. Ji Minghan reciprocated his complete trust in him and never defended himself, so he stepped into an ambush.

Just like the song sung on the stage, "Several generals in the Han camp are picked with guns. It is difficult to win because we are outnumbered."

The soldiers in the tent had heard the play "Ambush from Ten Daggers", and everyone knew that they should not be known as masters, but when they were in it, there was no such thing as "winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs". There is no second life to make a comeback, victory is victory, loss is defeat. Yin Zhan watched Ji Minghan rush into the ambush, like a trapped beast, he fought one against a hundred, even though he was outnumbered, he still showed bravery beyond expectations. Ji Minghan is very smart, when he found out that he was in a trap, he immediately stopped fighting and aimed to escape.

Standing on a high place, Yin Zhan shot a crucial arrow at the one man and one rider who were trying to break out of the encirclement.

The arrow hit Ji Minghan's back, and Yin Zhan was about to chase him, but suddenly there were other voices all over the sky, and Yin Zhan had to stop. He couldn't make his movements too big, otherwise what would happen if people found out about the strange situation of Hongshan Temple and Lin Roujia? But he was sure that Ji Minghan would not survive tonight, the poison on the arrow was very strong, since he shot Ji Minghan, he would definitely die. Therefore, he just secretly sent his men to search for Ji Minghan's body.

But Ji Minghan just disappeared.

For a long time after that, Yin Zhan inquired everywhere about Ji Minghan's whereabouts. He even tried every means to test the members of the Ji family, but found nothing. Ji Minghan seemed to have disappeared from the world. Ji Heng grew up in the Duke's Mansion. If Ji Minghan was still alive, he should have come to see Yu Hongye's son. but.

He probably died somewhere in the corner.

Yin Zhan sighed a little.

Then, Lin Roujia gave birth to a son, and he exchanged Lin Roujia's son with his wife's son, and killed his wife's son. In order to dispel the suspicion of the first emperor, he married a wife and had children, left Yanjing City, moved to Yunzhong, and brought up Yin Zhili.

Many years have passed, and life seems to be very peaceful. Leaving the familiar environment and seeing strangers, Yin Zhan himself forgot the crazy look he had with his hands covered in blood for Lin Roujia. This is different from the bloodshed on the battlefield. On the battlefield, he protected the people and the country. Now... he deceived his friends, killed his family and even his son, and betrayed his brothers.

Do you regret it? None of this makes any sense. Once this road is moving forward, there is no turning back. Otherwise, apart from the people he killed, he can't even protect the most important thing in his life.

Yin Zhan once had a sweet dream, the smudges of the past, with the death of Ji Minghan and Yu Hongye, no one will ever find out, he can smoothly start his own planning, start by himself, and end by himself, leaving behind What was given to Yin Zhili was a clean country.

But when he came back and saw Ji Heng at the first glance, he knew that this dream was shattered. Ji Minghan and Yu Hongye never left. Ji Heng knows everything, just as he has been planning in the clouds, Ji Heng has been dormant in Yanjing. They are evenly matched and compete with each other. up.

He can't be as heroic as he was back then, but maybe there is one more thing he can do, which is to be meaner than back then.

"Prince Xiajun is actually quite a despicable person." Ji Heng finished drinking a glass of wine with a smile, "But over the years, I have done a lot of despicable things. So it doesn't make sense." He stared at Xiajun Wang's eyes, slowly said: "Do you want to compare, are you mean, or am I mean?"

Yin Zhan was stunned.

The beauty in red smiled at Yan Yan, with a murderous intent in her tone that couldn't be concealed, just like Yu Hongye back then, no, he was more sinister, fiercer, and shrewd than Yu Hongye. He sat in front of himself, and the debt collection came.

A debt owed twenty-three years ago.
