Marriage of the Di Daughter

From before to now, Jiang Li doesn't like parting very much. When she was in Tongxiang, she was very sad when she got married and said goodbye to her father and brother. Now it is more sad than that time, because she knows the danger of going to Ji Heng. This is not an easy battle, Yin Zhan has put all his strength to the death, and worked hard for so many years, just for the arrival of this day.

The queen mother did not hesitate to let King Cheng deal with Emperor Hong Xiao, and let King Cheng and Emperor Hong Xiao compete with each other. If Ji Heng hadn't intervened in it, it would be easy for the Yin family to want the left-handed fisherman's profit.

Jiang Li was still thinking about Ji Heng's injuries, she said: "Can't we go later?"

"Yin Zhili will do it very quickly." Ji Heng smiled, "We can't allow people to seize the opportunity."

Jiang Li is silent, Yin Zhili has become another person, Yin Zhan's death, his life experience, Yin Zhiqing's death, one after another will make him suffer a huge shock, ordinary people will collapse under such circumstances. Jiang Li thought that Yin Zhili would not collapse, but it was definitely not the former Yin Zhili. When he decided to use himself to blackmail Jiheng, Yin Zhili, who used to be unbearable for the war to hurt the people, had disappeared.

She thought of Yin Zhiqing again. Yin Zhiqing blocked Yin Zhili's knife for Ji Heng, and I don't know if he is still alive. Jiang Li hoped that Yin Zhiqing would get better. Yin Zhiqing did nothing wrong. In some respects, the biggest mistake was that she was born in the Yin family.

Ji Heng has already put on his armor, which is completely different from his lazy and graceful appearance in the past. Maybe Ji Heng is very similar to Yu Hongye, but in his bones, he is exactly the same as Ji Minghan. Jiang Li has never met Ji Minghan, but just looking at Ji Heng's appearance at this moment, he can probably imagine how handsome General Jin Wu was back then.

He patted Jiang Li on the shoulder and said, "What are you still doing? Let's go."

Ji Heng seemed to have fully recovered, but Jiang Li bandaged him last night, and those scars were too deep, and it was impossible to recover in a very short time.

"If you can't hold on, don't force it." Jiang Li said seriously: "Ji Heng, there is nothing more hopeful than being able to survive. Only by living can everything be possible."

"Little girl," he narrowed his eyes, "you have never been selfless? Why are you becoming selfish today?"

Jiang Li stretched out her arms to hug him, and said softly, "I'm just afraid of losing you."

In her life, she had lost her loved ones, but luckily she found them again. But God will not favor her again and again. Many people, lost is lost, never come back. For example, Ji Minghan, Yu Hongye, and General Ji.

People can be strong and calm, but as long as they are mortals, they will not be calm enough to face the possibility of losing their sweetheart and remain indifferent.

The smile on Ji Heng's face faded. He was hugged by Jiang Li, and he seemed to feel the uneasiness in Jiang Li's heart, so he sighed and said, "Trust me, Ari."

Zhao Ke walked in from outside the cave and said, "My lord, the chariots and horses are all ready."

Jiang Li let go, and Ji Heng said, "Let's go, I'll see you off."

Ji Heng wanted to stay in Qingzhou, and Jiang Li had to go back to Yanjing City. If Yin Zhili could capture Jiang Li once, he could naturally capture Jiang Li twice. On the battlefield, Ji Heng may not be able to protect Jiang Li all the time, and the sword has no eyes, Jiang Li does not know martial arts, if he is injured, it will only drag Ji Heng down.

Jiang Li also knew this truth very well, so even though she was worried, she still agreed with Ji Heng's decision. Ji Heng picked dozens of people to escort Jiang Li back to Beijing, and it was by water, so it was not easy to be noticed.

It's just that the farewell road seems to be extremely short, as if it hasn't been long before arriving at the pier.

When the ship docked, the water in the long river was frozen, but the water in the Yongding River was not. Passenger ships floated on the big river, and the sky and the earth were almost connected as one, which was especially magnificent. Jiang Li was wearing the fox fur cloak that Ji Heng gave her, and looked up at Ji Heng.

She was reluctant to take the step to board the boat for a long time, which made Ji Heng laugh. He said: "I didn't realize before that you are so clingy." He said this in a teasing tone, as if joking, but Jiang Li couldn't laugh. She is used to smiling, and she often uses it to hide the emotions in her heart, but even today, she can't squeeze out a smile no matter what. It even gave birth to a kind of meaninglessness. If you really can't laugh, then don't laugh.

Jiang Li stood on tiptoe, touched Ji Heng's face with both hands, closed her eyes, and kissed his lips lightly.

Even if other people say that she has no sense of shame and immorality, she will admit it. She just didn't want to regret it, she let go of her hand, and the next moment, Ji Heng held the back of her head and pulled her towards him, deepening the kiss.

In the snow-covered sky, the young man kissed the petite girl. He kissed deeply and passionately, decisively and gently, just like his contradictory heart, with careful piety. Jiang Li raised her head to accept the kiss, but felt the heat in her eyes, as if she was about to shed tears.

The guards turned around and didn't watch the lingering goodbye kiss. The lone boat on the river was moored quietly, and Liren was on the pier.

After a long, long time, Ji Heng let go of his hand, Jiang Li didn't look at him anymore, she turned around, lifted the corner of her skirt, and boarded the boat.

The guards boarded the boat, and Zhao Ke and Wen Ji stayed by Ji Heng's side. They were Ji Heng's right-hand men, and they were going to fight with Ji Heng this time. Even when the two of them saw this parting, their hearts were sour, let alone mention Ji Heng.

Jiang Li stood at the bow of the boat, and the boat moved forward slowly. In the wind and snow, Ji Heng was tall and straight, and that bright red was especially vivid in the ice and snow, as if it was going to exist in her memory so domineeringly, and it would never fade. Jiang Li suddenly remembered that spring night in her dream, the spring breeze passed by the lively crowd, and he stopped on top of her wall. She was still a married woman, but he had just died in despair over the death of his father, but by accident, in a play on the swing, he formed a first relationship.

I don't know when this war will end. Jiang Li hopes that she can meet him again on a spring night, when all things are born in spring, and he reappears, continuing to write the unfinished story from very early on.

The boat gradually got farther and farther away, and the snow became bigger and bigger. Soon, the red color turned into a red dot. Jiang Li stared at that spot without blinking, until the wind and snow completely covered his figure, and there was no sign of Ji Heng in front of him. Only the wide river reminds them of their separation.

Hope to meet again not far away, hope to see you again.

...

From Qingzhou to Yanjing, it takes about 20 days by water. When Jiang Li returned to Yanjing City, Ji Heng should have told the people in the Duke's Mansion in advance that Ye Mingyu and others did not live in the Ye Mansion, but all lived in the Duke's Mansion. Therefore, after Jiang Li returned to Yanjing City, she went to the Duke's Mansion first.

There are white lanterns hanging outside the Duke's Mansion. During Jiang Li's absence, General Ji was buried. Originally, as the only grandson of the Duke's Mansion, Ji Heng did not wear sackcloth and filial piety for Old General Ji. If Ji Heng's temperament was used in the past, probably people in the city would say that Ji Heng is indeed an unfilial bastard. But this time it didn't happen. The reason was that King Xia rebelled in Qingzhou, and Ji Heng led the Jinwu army to rehabilitate him. People are always extra tolerant towards heroes. Although the hero's reputation in the past was not good, and he may not have military exploits, but he did this, which gave him a reason for not returning to Beijing in time to perform his filial piety.

After so many years, there are only Ji Heng and Old General Ji in the Duke's mansion. Ji Heng has a moody temperament and doesn't get along well with others. Old General Ji had long since ceased to be in court, so his court was left in the cold. After the heroic general fell, there were very few people who came to offer condolences. There are few people in the Duke's Mansion, and there are white lanterns and filial piety characters hanging on the door, which only makes people feel deserted and engraved in their bones, which makes people feel distressed.

When Jiang Li returned to the Duke's Mansion, everyone was shocked.

Ji Heng really asked Ye Mingyu to move everyone to the Duke's mansion. Jiang Li went into the courtyard and saw Ye Mingyu and Xiaohong arguing. Just because of these many people, the desolation of the Duke's Mansion was finally diluted a little. Xue Zhao was the first to discover Jiang Li and shouted, "Sister!"

Only then did everyone realize that Jiang Li had returned.

Situ Jiuyue also came over with a mortar for pounding herbs in his hand. Everyone gathered around, Xue Zhao said: "Sister, brother-in-law wrote to say that you came back in the past few days, and you really came back in the past few days!"

Ye Mingyu didn't bother to correct Xue Zhao's wrong address, he only thought that this kid probably wanted to get married with Jiang Li, so he looked Jiang Li up and down: "How is it, Ari, are you not hurt?"

Jiang Li shook his head, Xue Huaiyuan said in a deep voice: "Ah Li, you are too impulsive this time, you shouldn't put yourself in danger and use yourself to save us, if something happens to you, how will we deal with ourselves?"

His name is "A Li", Ye Mingyu wondered why Xue Huaiyuan and Jiang Li got so close. But now is not the time to pursue this, and Xue Huaiyuan is right, so he nodded and said in agreement: "That's right, Ah Li, what Yin Zhili really wants to do, we will play with him, you are a little girl, how can you let you go?" to save us?"

Jiang Li said: "Mr. Xue, Azhao, uncle, cousin, Miss Jiuyue, and Haitang, are you all right? Did Yin Zhili make things difficult for you...All the servants of the Ye family were killed, and Haitang's finger..."

Haitang retracted her hands slightly, and said: "It's nothing, my face was ruined before, and a finger is nothing. They knew that Miss Jiang was soft-hearted, so they did this. They just wanted to make Miss Jiang care about it and cause chaos. Yes. I've got Miss Jiang involved."

"Why do you have to say that, if it wasn't for me, the Yin family would not have kidnapped you." Jiang Li replied, and then asked: "What happened that day? I only know that Yin Zhili kidnapped you, but I don't know what happened to you."

Ye Mingyu sighed, and said, "At that time, it happened so suddenly, we didn't expect it..."

It turned out that the night before Jiang Li went to Ye's house and found out what happened to Ye's house, someone sneaked into Ye's mansion and took Ye Mingyu and the others away. Those people were different from ordinary quack assassins, they looked like soldiers in the military camp, and Ye Mingyu followed the opponent's way. When they woke up, they had already left the city gate, and they didn't know where it was, but it should not be far from Yanjing City. They heard those people say: "The king of the county." They guessed that maybe the person behind it was Yin Zhan, and at that time, Haitang was dragged out and cut off a finger.

Xue Huaiyuan was smarter after all, he quickly figured out that the purpose of these people abducting them was not pure, but to threaten someone. It seems that Jiang Li is the only one who has a close relationship with Xue's father and son, Ye's uncle and nephew.

"Mr. Xue guessed that maybe they were going to trade us for you. He wanted to stop us, but after a few days, we were knocked out and left at the gate of Yanjing City. Master Kong Liukong from the cavalry team found out. We brought us back." Ye Shijie explained.

When Jiang Li heard Kong Liu's name, she knew that Kong Liu's appearance was probably not accidental, but arranged by Ji Heng in advance. Xue Zhaodao: "Later Master Kong came and said that it was my brother-in-law who said hello, and now the Ye Mansion is not safe, so we were allowed to live in the Duke's Mansion. Only then did we know that Old General Ji had passed away."

Xue Zhao's voice was also a little sad, and Ye Shijie frowned and asked, "Cousin, what's going on? What's going on between Su Guogong and the Yin family? The Yin family suddenly rebelled. Did you already know something?"

Jiang Li and Ji Heng have a very close relationship. If Jiang Li doesn't know anything, it's probably impossible. But Jiang Li didn't want to show Ji Heng's past to others, it was too dark and too cruel for Ji Heng. She didn't want others to look at Ji Heng with sympathy.

Xue Huaiyuan seemed to understand Jiang Li's thoughts, and said: "Ms. Jiang is just a daughter's family after all. These matters are of great importance. Duke Su may not tell her. The more you know, the more dangerous it will be. Think about it." In order to protect her, Su Guogong will not say anything more."

Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li, seeing that Jiang Li didn't want to say more, and he understood a little bit. This cousin has always been stubborn about things she doesn't want to tell, and no one can shake her decision.

"I think it's better for my sister to go back to the house to rest." Xue Zhao looked at Jiang Li's face and said, "As for the future, it will take a long time, so it's not too late to talk slowly."

Xue Zhao was helping her out, and Xue Huaiyuan also took advantage of the situation and said, "That's right, Master Jiang is also waiting for Miss Jiang to go back at the mansion. After Miss Jiang goes back, Master Jiang can feel at ease."

Although Ye Mingyu also had a lot to ask Jiang Li, those things were not important. What he cared about was Jiang Li's health and safety. Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao both said that. Said: "That's also... Ah Li, then you go back to the mansion to rest first. I will come to see you in the mansion tomorrow. There are guards arranged in the mansion of the Duke, so you don't have to worry about us. Although Su Guogong is... But he is right You are not bad. I won't say anything."

Ye Mingyu has always felt that Ji Heng's appearance is too good, which is not a good thing, and the rumors about Ji Heng in the market are really not very good. But again and again, Jiang Li was rescued by Ji Heng. Moreover, Ji Heng and their Ye family are neither related nor related, so why let them live in the Duke's mansion. If it weren't for Jiang Li's sake to let the merchants that the officials shun away live in his house, why would Ji Heng be so proud. Men know men best, Ji Heng's doing this is nothing more than love for Wu and Wu, and it is really rare to have this kind of heart for Jiang Li. At least it was much better than Jiangli's marriage in the Ningyuanhou's mansion before, and Ji Heng personally led the troops to the expedition, so it can be seen that he is a real man, not just a pretty boy.

...

It was already evening when he came back from Ye Mansion and returned to Jiang's house. Jiang Li's return to Yanjing City was not notified in advance. When Ji Heng's personal guards sent Jiang Li back to the Jiang Mansion, the concierge was shocked when they saw that it was Jiang Li, and hurried to inform the old lady.

In the Evening Wind Hall, it became crowded all of a sudden.

Lu Shi was as warm and shrewd as ever, but now she showed a bit of real worry. She looked Jiang Li up and down, and said: "Little Li, where are you going? You... ...Where did you come back from?" She looked confused, obviously, Jiang Yuanping didn't tell her about Jiang Li.

Mrs. Jiang was very calm, and she only showed a little excitement about Jiang Li's sudden return, and soon returned to normal. She didn't ask Jiang Li much, she only asked if Jiang Li was injured, and then she didn't ask anything. Jiang Li guessed that Mrs. Jiang probably knew something, not to mention the grievances between the Ji family and the Yin family, at least Mrs. Jiang should know where Jiang Li went these days and why she disappeared. Jiang Jingrui wanted to ask a few more questions, but was interrupted by Jiang Yuanbai. Jiang Yuanbai looked at Jiang Li and said, "Come with me."

He said this every time, and Jiang Li had already gotten used to it, and followed Jiang Yuanbai back to the study. Jiang Yuanbai asked: "Do you know that what you did this time was too impulsive! You actually went out to make bargaining chips for the Ye family. If you are like this, where do you put the Jiang family?"

"Sorry, father," Jiang Li replied, "It was urgent at the time, and I really didn't think about it that much."

"I'm afraid that even if you think about it, you will still do it." Jiang Yuanbai snorted coldly, "You have always been closer to the Ye family and Xue Huaiyuan and his son than to the Jiang family."

Jiang Li had nothing to say, and in all fairness, Jiang Yuanbai was right. But people's hearts are full of meat, Ye Mingyu treats her as his own, and Xue Huaiyuan is her biological father and son. Everyone has close relatives, even though Jiang Li is not a person who remembers to eat but not to eat, but some things that Jiang's family do sometimes are unavoidably chilling. She won't hurt the Jiang family, but she puts the Jiang family first in everything, but she really can't do it. Maybe it's because she's inherently selfish.

Seeing Jiang Li's appearance, Jiang Yuanbai was speechless instead. Jiang Li knew her mistakes at all, but didn't change them. She didn't know who followed her stubborn temper. Anyway, it's not like him, and it's even less like Ye Zhenzhen.

"Let me ask you, has Ji Heng told you about the past relationship between the Ji family and the Yin family?"

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat, her face remained normal, she lowered her eyebrows and replied, "No."

"Really?" Jiang Yuanbai looked at her suspiciously.

"real."

It's strange that Jiang Li can always show her feet when lying to Ji Heng, and she feels very unnatural in her heart, but when lying to Jiang Yuanbai, she seems to be proficient in lying, without thinking at all. Jiang Yuanbai sighed, and said, "Forget it, these are not important anymore."

He sighed for a long time, but Jiang Li heard something strange from his words, and asked, "What happened to father?"

"Yin Zhan's rebellion is tantamount to putting me on the fire. Before he got close to me, he went to Jiang's house several times. Thinking about it, His Majesty knows it well. His Majesty let him do this with me. Reminder, it can be seen that I have already made plans to deal with my Jiang family. I have not explained it now, but it is because of the friendship between the monarch and his ministers and the kindness of teachers and students. Just pretend to be stupid, so don't blame Your Majesty for being ruthless." He turned his head, shook his head and said, "Jiang Family, you can no longer stay in the court."

Jiang Li didn't speak, in fact, she had already seen this matter. Emperor Hong Xiao probably didn't have the intention of keeping the Jiang family in the court from the very beginning. In the past, when King Cheng was still there, keeping the Jiang family was enough to check and balance. Now that King Cheng has disappeared, it would be of no use for the Jiang family to stay. It's not because Jiang Yuanbai is rebellious or anything, but because most of the civil servants in the court were once Jiang Yuanbai's disciples. This was not a good thing for Emperor Hong Xiao.

The emperor's art was taught to Emperor Hong Xiao by Jiang Yuanbai, who was the grand tutor. He should understand this better than anyone else, but unfortunately, those who are in it will inevitably be confused by the scene in front of them. Jiang Yuanbai's actions are too big and too smooth. If he wants to bear the pain and give up his love, he will be more reluctant. What should have been done many years ago has been delayed for so many years.

The strength of old Mrs. Jiang's character back then is not preserved in the Jiang family now, so the decline of the Jiang family is only a matter of time. It is not a bad thing for Jiang Yuanbai to be able to make up for it now. Cultivate descendants well, such as Jiang Jingrui, Jiang Jingyou, and the Jiang family may not have time to prosper again.

It's up to the individual to choose.

"Little pear," Jiang Yuanbai said, "after I resign, you will no longer be the chief minister's daughter. The marriage with Jiheng..."

"Your Majesty's golden words, there is no reason to go against it." Jiang Li interrupted Jiang Yuanbai's unfinished sentence.

Jiang Yuanbai stared at her, as if he understood her thoughts instantly, he said slowly: "It seems that you like him very much."

"Not bad." Jiang Li replied frankly, she said, "I like it very much."

"What if he died on the battlefield?" Jiang Yuanbai frowned, "You have to know that he has never been on the battlefield, but Yin Zhili is Yin Zhan's son, and he has learned the art of winning since childhood. If he loses, the emperor's Marriages don't need to be counted."

"Father is wrong." Jiang Li raised her eyes to look at Jiang Yuanbai, her voice was clear, and for a moment, Jiang Yuanbai seemed to see that Jiang Li was taken back to Yanjing City from Qingcheng Mountain a year ago, and after eight years, she appeared in front of him eyes. Jiang Yuanbai was amazed by the firmness of this daughter's brows, there was a deep stubbornness hidden in the softness, her voice was also gentle, but it was like an oath, deep and unshakable.

She said: "Jiheng will die, but he won't lose. If he comes back alive, I will marry him. If he doesn't come back, I will tie my hair and be his widow for the rest of my life. However," the corners of her mouth raised slightly, as if bringing Smiling, Jiang Yuanbai's eyes flickered suddenly, and he felt that Jiang Li's smile was very similar to Ji Heng's. She said, "He promised me that he will definitely come back."

School starts tomorrow, it's time to copy homework.
