"Master Guo, after watching the drama for so long, can you come out for a gathering?"
The clear voice echoed in the woods at night, and the moon was low, almost lying on the branches of the trees, illuminating Jiang Li's Qingxiu face.
Her eyes were clear and distinct, instead of the panic of the end of the road, they were stretched and transparent, as if they were in the chest.
The people in black looked at her and laughed headedly: "Why the second lady pretends to be mysterious..."
Before he finished his words, he heard a chuckle from the depths of the woods, and a crimson figure gradually emerged from the darkness. Under the moonlight, the darker, the more gorgeous his red clothes. The moonlight fell on the black gold butterflies embroidered on the corners of his robe, and those butterflies were also spreading their wings and wanting to fly. At this moment, they appeared to the extreme.
Ji Heng walked out of the night unhurriedly, holding a folding fan of gold silk, smiling at the corners of his lips, and said, "I can't hide anything from you."
Jiang Li looked at him with a sigh of relief.
Ji Heng often likes to send people to stare at him. There is nothing he doesn't know about Tongxiang. Those who believed in Feng Yutang and Ji Shuran came to siege and kill him, and they were also in Ji Heng's grasp. This person loves watching theaters the most, and Ji Heng will never miss such a splendid drama.
Whether it was Ji Heng who came to stare at him or Ji Heng's subordinates stared at him, Jiang Li believed that they would not let themselves leave their sight. After Ji Shuran's people were killed midway, when she had no way of retreating, she couldn't avoid it, she suddenly thought that the silent person who followed her all the way might be able to protect her life here.
Even if it cannot be guaranteed, it is okay to stay and distract the other party's attention.
Fortunately, someone did follow him, and even more fortunately, it was Ji Heng who followed him personally.
With Ji Heng here, Jiang Li feels much more relieved. This is actually a very strange idea, Ji Heng is not her friend, until now, this is a mysterious man. But Jiang Li had dealt with Ji Heng several times. Ji Heng didn't mean to hurt her. Of course, Jiang Li wouldn't think that this was Ji Heng's pity for Xiang Yu, and maybe there was something in his body that Ji Heng could take advantage of.
Useful value is better than nothing. As long as Ji Heng is here, she can be completely sure that she is not dead in today's battle. Not to mention Ji Heng's skilled guards, it is the beautiful gold folding fan in his hand, Jiang Li has also seen the power of it.
He is not a person who sits and waits for death. Instead, he is full of killer moves. Anyone who looks down upon him when he is beautiful will be slapped in the face by danger.
The appearance of Ji Heng immediately attracted the attention of the killers invited by Ji Shuran. Some of them pointed at Ji Heng with their sword tips.
These assassins didn't miss Jiang Li's "Grandpa Guo". But Ji Heng's appearance was too grand, too coquettish, and suddenly appeared alone in the dark woods, like a forest, with gorgeous danger. Perhaps it is because all the killers have an intuition about danger, the black collar asked Ji Heng: "Who is your excellency?"
Ji Heng ignored them, looked at Jiang Li with a smile, and said, "The second young lady's acting ability is getting more and more exciting."
"The play is not exciting, how can you attract adults to watch." Jiang Li glanced at the black collar, smiling more loudly: "My lord, they are pointing their swords at you."
People like Ji Heng have a full smile on their face, but they are actually very cruel and ruthless, with a arrogant temperament. Someone pointing a sword at him may be an insult to Ji Heng.
The black collar caught a glimpse of Ji Heng's eyes, and inexplicably wanted to take a step back. The fingers of the sword were curled up unconsciously, always feeling very uncomfortable.
Ji Heng didn't care, but looked at Jiang Li with a smile: "Why the second lady is causing trouble, I said, I'm not in the play."
"Don’t you know that Lord Guo has watched so many scenes of me and watched it for nothing? If I lost my life here today, Lord Guo would never see my scene again, and there would be no regret in her heart?" She raised her head and asked. .
The girl's face is clean, white and tender, and her bright and beautiful eyes seem to be praying infinitely. When she speaks in a soft, pitiful tone, the gods can't help but love.
However, Ji Heng is not a god, he is a demon even colder than a god.
He just looked at Jiang Li with a smile, and said, "It's a pity, but I'm not in the play."
Jiang Li's praying color was put away in an instant. It is unimaginable that she can pull out so quickly in that touching mood just now.
Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng with a trace of annoyance in her heart. When she was Xue Fangfei in her previous life, she had a pretty face, although she didn't think it was a big deal. But most of the time when I was outside, because of the good-looking skin, it almost went smoothly. Conflict with someone, the other person looks at her face and will not chase her.
Beauty only needs to act like a baby, and everything can be captured. She didn't like to use this method, so Xue Zhao always said that she wasted such a good skin in vain, and she didn't make a reputation as a demon girl who harmed the country and the people.
Now she is subjugated to others, and she has to make a pitiful and cute look every time she plays, but it's not just that the other party's heart is too hard, or that Miss Jiang Er's skin is not overwhelming, and she hasn't moved the other party at all. Instead, he received such a sober answer.
It's frustrating.
Ji Heng still looked at her with a smile, and he said that he was an understatement, and he didn't seem to think that there was nothing wrong with not saving himself in this way. Under the eyes of a pair of long and narrow phoenixes, the bright red moles of tears also have infinite amorous feelings, slowly enveloping the seductive scenery in the night.
The black-clothed leader seemed to have recollected it at this moment. He first said to Ji Heng: "Since your Excellency has no conflict with us, then things will be easier." Looking at Jiang Li again, he said: "Second Miss, your reinforcements don't seem to be going to help you, so we won't waste time, come on!" After that, I didn't know if I was afraid that Ji Heng's appearance would cause Ye Changmeng more dreams, so I went straight to Jiang Li, flashing The sword tip with silver light brought murderous aura in the night, and the excited leaves fell down!
Seeing that things hadn't changed anymore, Jiang Li was still watching from the sidelines, cruelly, and said loudly without hesitation: "Duke Guo, I know why you want to get involved with King You Xiangcheng. Now that the court is divided into three parties, although your majesty is declining but not in the pool, he is only suspicious. If you want your majesty to trust you alone, you have to support the king to stand up. There are wolves and tigers in front of them. You, you can be the courtier first. This three-point position in the court was created by you, Lord Guo!"
Jiang Li's words were quick and anxious, and the people in black who could hear the assassination were all taken aback. What became a king, what a righteous person, and what is this
The smile on Ji Heng's lips seemed to freeze into ice in an instant.
As soon as Jiang Li's voice fell, a sword tip appeared in front of him, and someone behind him stabbed her with a sword. He rushed forward and died, and retreated to Huangquan. There was a dead word on the front and back!
Just at this moment, a slender hand suddenly stretched out, holding her shoulder and gently pushing it aside. The next moment, a peony blossomed brightly, Ji Heng opened his fan.
The front end of the fan suddenly seemed to be a sharp blade. Jiang Li could only see the fan flicked back and forth. Between the opening and closing, the golden silk embroidery thread on the petals of the peony flashed a small gleam. , But in a moment, there was a loud bang, and the two men in black who had besieged Jiang Li one after another fell to the ground, with a surprised look on their faces, as if at the last moment of their lives, both Still confused about the cause of his death.
The people in black around were temporarily shocked by the battle here.
No one can even fully see how Ji Heng made his move. Ji Heng's movements were too fast, and Jiang Li stared at Ji Heng's fan. She saw the power of the fan again, and maybe it wasn't that the fan was too scary, but that the man in front of her was really scary.
"Brothers, don't care, let's go together!" The black leader gritted his teeth and suddenly greeted the people behind him to come together!
Jiang Li was only able to escape, and he saw murderous intentions in all directions. Without even thinking about it, he immediately grabbed the corner of Ji Heng's clothes. Ji Heng is dangerous, but the enemy's enemy is a friend. At the moment, Ji Heng is the only one who can protect her for a while!
Ji Heng glanced at her coldly, before speaking, the people in black in front of him had already swarmed. There was a sneer at the corner of his lips, the fan in his hand was fully unfolded, and he picked up Jiang Li's neck collar with one hand, and quickly moved back with Jiang Li. His movements are extremely fast, making it difficult for people to see clearly, only the black butterfly fluttering in the corners of his robe can be seen clearly, carrying a thick and weird charm.
In the night, he was extremely fast, and the fan in his hand was like some kind of terrible weapon. Between pitching, opening and closing, large clots of blood bloomed, like a peach blossom in May, the small light flashing on the fan, Chills the back.
One after another screams resounded in the forest, at this moment, it was like hell on earth.
Jiang Li subconsciously stuck to Ji Heng's side, but felt that his robes were cold, as if he was not a human being, without a trace of warmth.
I don't know how long it took, and the screams outside disappeared. Ji Heng's movements also stopped.
Ji Heng's mocking voice sounded over his head: "Miss Jiang Er, the place has been cleaned up."
Jiang Li slowly let go of his hand, raised his head, and looked around.
Under the moonlight, the corpses of people in black were everywhere, and the ground was full of blood, like the purgatory on earth painted on the murals in the temple.
Ji Heng killed a dozen people alone, and it seemed that only a quarter of an hour had passed.
Jiang Li turned to look at Ji Heng.
The moon slowly climbed up the branches again, as if the situation in front of him was not terrible enough. The moonlight was extraordinarily bright, and the pure moonlight and the blood on the ground made it difficult to distinguish whether this was a nightmare or reality.
And Ji Heng was standing in the blood stain, his robe was bright red, which made people wonder whether the red was stained with blood from the ground. But he was holding the folding fan, as if he didn't realize how uncomfortable all this was. He just looked at Jiang Li and said, "Ms. Jiang Er, shouldn't you thank me?"
Jiang Li was speechless.
The next moment, the fan suddenly reached Jiang Li's throat, Ji Heng did not approach, he even kept a certain distance from Jiang Li, but his expression was unusually cold. From knowing Ji Heng until now, he is always smiling and tired, even if he knows that it is his disguise. But when the poisonous beast really showed its minions, anyone would feel chilly.
Jiang Li would also feel terrible.
"Ms. Jiang Er, I said, I don't like to be in the play, why are you pulling me into the game?" His voice was very soft, like a lingering whisper between lovers, but with inexplicable coldness. Climbing up a person's spine makes people's back chills.
"No way," Jiang Li looked directly into his eyes, her voice was a little soft, as if she was really sorry, she said: "I don't want to die."
Just now, she could clearly feel that Ji Heng really didn't plan to make a move, so she planned to look on the sidelines like this. But she must not let this happen. If Ji Heng didn't make a move, she could only die here. Her father is still in prison, and the truth of Xue Zhao's death has not been revealed yet. She cannot die here, at least not now. So she must take action.
So she could only tell the secret that she had already seen.
I don't know when it started. One day when she was thinking about the relationship between Ji Heng, Cheng Wang, the emperor and Jiang Yuanbai, she suddenly realized that there was nothing special, just suddenly understood.
The current court is divided into three parts, Cheng Wang, Jiang Yuanbai, and Hong Xiaodi. Before King Kecheng joined forces with Youxiang, he was not as stable as he is now. At that time, the court could only count as two factions. There was a friendship between teachers and students between Jiang Yuanbai and Emperor Hong Xiao. If Jiang Yuanbai did not have a heart for rebellion, Emperor Hong Xiao would not be too jealous.
But then Cheng Wang suddenly joined forces with Right, and the balance between the court was broken. The power of becoming a king provokes between Jiang Yuanbai and Emperor Hong Xiao, the friendship between teachers and students is still there, but the trust is gone. Jiang Li believes that if one day there is evidence of rebellion in the Jiang family, Emperor Hong Xiao will not hesitate to put Jiang Yuanbai in prison.
It is impossible for Emperor Hong Xiao to join forces with Jiang Yuanbai, but Emperor Hong Xiao’s power is declining, but Jiang Li has felt from the last time that Emperor Hong Xiao, whose biological mother Xia Guifei died early, is not as easy to play around as on the surface. Perhaps Ji Heng saw Emperor Hong Xiao's ambition before he decided to stand in the side of Emperor Hong Xiao.
There are people in the world who do their best when they do things. They just become one of the courtiers of Emperor Hong Xiao, which is obviously not what Ji Heng wants. The situation that Ji Heng hopes to emerge is to become Emperor Hong Xiao’s confidant and the person he trusts most. Although he does not know what it is, Jiang Li can be sure that Ji Heng will support him as a king to achieve this goal. .
In other words, from the very beginning, Ji Heng tried to support King Cheng and let King Cheng and Youxiang join forces to become a threat to the Jiang family. Cheng Wang challenged Emperor Hong Xiao and Jiang Yuanbai to fall apart, so the entire court became the third of Ji Heng's hope. The isolated Emperor Hong Xiao chose to trust Ji Heng, making Ji Heng a confidant.
Jiang Li thought of this, but also felt a little frightened. Ji Heng made plans, and I was afraid that no one would believe it. After all, this requires a long-term vision, precise planning, and the courage not to be afraid of anything. But he just did it, and he did it.
When Jiang Li got a glimpse of this secret, she knew that this secret must be rotten in her heart forever, and she must not speak it out. She knew what Ji Heng's idea was, but she didn't mention it when she confronted Ji Heng, because she knew that once Ji Heng knew that his secret was caught, the first thing to do was to silence his mouth.
Illness comes from the mouth and the evil comes out of the mouth. This was Jiang Li's idea, but people are not as good as the sky. She didn't expect to be forced to the end of the road tonight. Ji Heng was by her side, but she didn't mean to make a move. So she could only kill someone with the knife.
She made Ji Heng's secrets public in front of those killers. Ji Heng would never allow anyone who knew his secrets to live in the world. Those killers were destined to be wiped out.
"Ms. Jiang Er, you need to know," he said slowly, "Missing the mouth will not leave you alive."
He can kill those killers, and he can kill her. Firstly, she knew Ji Heng's secret, and secondly, she actually used Ji Heng's secret to calculate Ji Heng. Only these two charges were enough to make her have no reason to live.
The fan was cold and icy, resting on the fragile neck, his gaze lingered on Jiang Li's neck, as if with a trace of lingering lust, but when he looked closely, it was completely indifferent and cruel. The fan was approaching inch by inch, and the feeling of death was so clear, Jiang Li heard the sound of her heartbeat, but her voice was calm.
"Master Guo, I don't want to die, otherwise I won't say those things." She said.
"Give me a reason why you don't have to die." Ji Heng looked at him.
"For the Lord Guo to convince your Majesty, it is bound to fight against the king and the Jiang family. It is not the purpose to support the king, but the support is for a better solution." Jiang Li said: "I can make the Jiang family and the king no longer have the possibility of repairing. , The power that can kill you to become a king."
Ji Heng laughed: "How do you do it?"
"In the case of the Xue family, Feng Yutang is just a cover, and the person behind it is Yongning." Jiang Li looked down. Ji Heng was afraid that this case had something to do with Yongning. She didn't have to hide anything. In the case of the family, sooner or later, I will meet Yongning and King He Cheng. No matter what my father thinks of me, my surname is Jiang. Wang Cheng will count this account on Jiang’s family, and Cheng Wang and Jiang’s family will become rivals. I am the Jiang family, and I will help the Jiang family deal with King Cheng."
"How do you deal with Cheng Wang?" Ji Heng said: "You are only fifteen years old now."
Jiang Li only said four words: "Unscrupulous."
Ji Heng was silent for a while, and said: "Whether it is the Jiang family or becoming a king, I won't be able to stay in the end."
This was something that Jiang Li had guessed before. Ji Heng supported King Cheng and provoked the Jiang family in order to fight against each other and kill each other, so that Emperor Hong Xiao's power would grow. She concentrates on dealing with Cheng Wang, but the Jiang family is also at risk.
In all fairness, although she is not the real Miss Jiang Er, she has done a lot with Jiang Yuanbai's reputation. Except for Ji Shuran's mother and daughter and Jiang Yu'e, although the other people in the Jiang family did not enjoy her, they did not harm her. If the Jiang family really fell, and there would be no eggs under the cover, she would not have a chance.
She had to take revenge on Yongning and Shen Yurong while protecting the Jiang family.
"Grandpa Guo, I don't know what your final purpose is, but the Jiang family will fall, and sooner or later there will be a second Jiang family." Jiang Li said softly: "Keep the Jiang family, if one day later, the Jiang family will become you. What about your reinforcements?"
Ji Heng's bitterness didn't move Ji Heng. Ji Heng smiled, "I don't need help, and I don't need reinforcements."
Jiang Li: "..."
But she felt normal, because it was hard to imagine Ji Heng having friends and warm family. A venomous snake lives with a group of Mianyang, and the scene is unbelievable when you think about it.
"You haven't convinced me yet," Ji Heng reminded her: "The reason for not killing you."
"I can't find a reason." Jiang Li looked at him calmly: "Because of these reasons, I can't even convince myself. But there are things I haven't finished, and I don't want to die now. If the grandfather of the country insists on letting go In my case, I hope to give me some time. My life will stay here. After I have finished what I should do, I will personally send this life up, hoping that the Lord of the country will accept it."
Ji Heng looked at her and said with a smile: "What if I say no?"
Jiang Li was silent again.
After a while, she said: "If it really doesn't work, the Lord of the Country will do it. Actually, I also made a profit. Originally, if Lord of the Country did not appear today, I would die at the hands of these people. Maybe the death is extremely indecent. .It’s an honor for me to die in the hands of Lord Guo. What's more, there are so many people buried with me. It’s not a loss when I think of it. These days, I would like to thank Lord Guo for taking care of him. If there is another life, Jiang Li will form a ring Report." After saying this, Jiang Li really closed his eyes, and calmly raised his head slightly, waiting for Ji Heng to start.
The fan moves around the white jade neck, like a sharp weapon to harvest life. She has distinct features, clean and beautiful like a fairy boy in the mountains, her mouth is small and ruddy, a little stubborn when she is squeezed, and her long eyelashes, like a layer of dew, will not fall, slightly It trembled, so pitiful.
Ji Heng's fan wandered around and gradually deepened. It was not a gorgeous folding fan, it was more ferocious than a blade.
The poisonous snake entangled its prey, opened its fangs, and the venom dropped drop by drop, and the white rabbit shrank into a ball, poor, cautious, and hoped that there would be a glimmer of life.
It slowly approached, Snake Xinzi was cold, and his eyes were cold. With just a light bite, the rabbit could no longer move.
But it suddenly shook its tail, twisted its head, and walked away.
Jiang Li only felt that the fan on her neck was light, and she felt nothing for a moment. She raised her head and saw Ji Heng's plain profile face.
Ji Heng said, "You are the first person to thank me after being killed by me."
Jiang Li said: "Really? That's also my honor."
"Your mouth is so sweet," Ji Heng's lips curled up, "Are you used to it?"
"No, I'm just facing Grandpa Guo." Jiang Li nodded and let out a sigh of relief. After all, she won the bet, she thought, Ji Heng is a hard and soft person, but Ji Heng is not a lunatic, he kills everybody. Although outsiders called him moody, in fact, if someone provoked Ji Heng, Ji Heng would take the other person's life.
Once he showed complete harmlessness and docility, and had no effect on Ji Heng, he wouldn't be too lazy to act on himself.
"I know you are not as harmless and docile as you seem," Ji Heng said suddenly, as if he could have expected what she was thinking, "You also inadvertently ruined many of my plans. I don't like being merciful. But, He suddenly looked at Jiang Li, his eyes clear and deep: "You have dragged me into the play."
"I want to see the end of this play. At the most exciting time, you can't die." Ji Heng said: "So your life will be reserved for you temporarily, and I will pick it up when you are done."
Jiang Li asked: "If I do something, it will take a long, long time to complete it?"
"Then wait." Ji Heng said: "I have patience, you know."
Jiang Li was silent, Ji Heng was indeed very patient. Long ago, before he became a king, Ji Heng began to make arrangements. At that time, no one would care about these things. He just supported Cheng Wang step by step to the point where no one dared to underestimate it now. The Jiang family's current convergence is due to this person.
He is more patient than anyone else, and there is probably nothing impossible to accomplish what he wants to do.
But Jiang Li is already very satisfied. Whether this life is still alive for the time being, or it will be collected by Ji Heng one day, it will no longer be necessary to die now. She wants to live, live to rescue Xue Huaiyuan from prison, live to reveal the true colors of Yongning and Shen Yurong, and live to avenge Xue Zhao.
Everything can only be done by living. Ji Heng can prevent her from dying among the people arranged by Ji Shuran today, and she can give her revenge. She has no reason to resent Ji Heng.
The road ahead is long, save your life, always get ahead.
"These people..." Jiang Li looked at the corpses on the ground.
"Don't worry." Ji Heng looked at her: "Perhaps you want to pretend to be sent back to Yanjing Ji Shuran?"
Jiang Li thought about it seriously: "No need. Sending it back, she knows that things have failed, and it is inevitable that she will think of other ways. I am really weak. It is better to make her think everything has succeeded. When I return to Yanjing, she will naturally Being surprised is also a pleasure."
Ji Heng nodded happily: "It makes sense."
"What's the plan of Lord Guo now?" Jiang Li asked, "I have to go back. Uncle doesn't know how it is now. Feng Yutang's people are all about killing me. I'm afraid that uncle is in danger."
"Ye Mingyu is okay." Ji Heng said: "The people of Feng Yutang, the three best killers of Yongning Kungfu, came to chase you, and you calculated them in the swamp." He glanced at Jiang Li meaningfully before saying: " The remaining people are not enough, Ye Mingyu can handle it."
Jiang Li felt relieved when he heard Ji Heng say this. If something happened to Ye Mingyu because of her, Jiang Li would be very afraid of blaming herself. Ji Heng wouldn't lie on this, Jiang Li still believed him.
"Let's go." Ji Heng said, motioning for her to ride forward.
Jiang Li was stunned. When she ran away in a hurry, her foot twisted, making it difficult to walk. She wanted to bear it, but Ji Heng could not see it. But it wasn't a time to be pretentious, Jiang Li didn't think much, propped up and turned on his horse.
Ji Heng walked unhurriedly on his side, Jiang Li sat on the horseback with the reins, and the two of them were in harmony that had never been seen before.
"Master Guo, I want to ask you something." Jiang Li whispered: "This life was lent to me, but if I haven't given it to you, I will die?"
"That's impossible." Ji Heng didn't turn his head back, his red robe flashed a beautiful stream of light in the night, he said: "My things, others can't take away. Including your life."
