That's how it passed in the day.
Jiang Li stayed in this house, Zhao Ke and Wen Ji naturally had nothing to say with her. When Lu Ji and Ji Heng were not there, Wen Renyao was a chatter, but asking about Jiang Li's conversation made it difficult for Jiang Li to answer, so she had to pretend to be ignorant.
Huangzhou Jiangli has never been here before, and only knows that it is rich in a kind of wine and is very famous. Although Ji Heng didn't say anything, Jiang Li also knew that the city was full of crises, and it was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface. Cheng Wang may have made some layouts in it as his reserved arrangements. Once he starts to raise things, Huangzhou will inevitably be implicated.
I don't know when Cheng Wang will raise the matter, but Jiang Li thinks that he won't wait too long. Therefore, when Ji Heng was away, Jiang Li didn't propose to take a walk on the street, not only because she hadn't recovered her strength, but also because she didn't know when she ran into a hidden danger. I want to come to Wen Renyao to understand this too, otherwise his temperament who loves to join in the fun will not stay in the house all day and never go out.
From day to night, Zhao Ke bought the food and wine, and it was near this house. Jiang Li had nothing to do. Fortunately, there was a study in this house, and Jiang Li found some books in the study. Although they are boring scripts, they are better than none.
Reading a book, in a daze, it was night in a blink of an eye.
When the lights outside came on, Ji Heng and Lu Ji still didn't come back. The maidservant came over and asked, "Miss is going to rest?"
Jiang Li looked at the sky, the stars were hidden in the clouds, and the nearby streets outside seemed to be able to hear the singing and dancing of the singers in the restaurant, but the sound was not as loud as it was at the beginning-night deep, everything is quiet Come down. Everyone slept, rested and rested, and the whole Huangzhou fell into tranquility.
"I don't want to rest yet. Go out first." Jiang Li shook his head: "I will collapse when I'm tired."
The maid retired.
It's strange to say that at this time, Jiang Li is more or less sleepy, but today it is surprisingly energetic. She didn't know if it was because of the "soft tendons" or something else, or it was simply because Ji Heng was not there that she always felt not stable enough. In short, she is not sleepy at all. Fortunately, at this time, the soft tendons that had been eaten yesterday were scattered. Twelve hours have passed, and she is also completely awake, no longer as weak as before.
Jiang Li couldn't sleep, so she had to walk around the house. That room was originally the place where ordinary people in Huangzhou lived. This room should also be used by my daughter's home. The red tent bed is very fragrant and soft. Jiang Li sat down in front of the vanity mirror. Under the dim light, there were still spots on her face. Although a little red had faded, it was too little.
In front of the mirror, there was also a palm-sized vermilion basket with a roll of thin thread and a pair of scissors. Scissors should be used by girls when they do needlework. They are very small. About the time when Ji Heng bought the house very quickly, the family moved out and moved very quickly, and there was no time to take this pair of scissors away.
Jiang Li picked up the scissors, they were not very heavy and they were easy to use, so he put them in his sleeves.
Her original sharp hairpins and the daggers Jiang Jingrui gave were all cleaned up when they were taken away by Cheng Wang's men. And because it was the woman's hand, she was very careful when she searched her body, leaving nothing useful at all. There is no self-defense, I always feel that something is missing. But now she didn't have time to find a new hairpin, so she had to put it aside.
Although Wenji and Zhao Ke are there, it is better to have more protection for everything.
After putting away the scissors, Jiang Li walked to the window again. She didn't know when Ji Heng would be back, it was already late at night, maybe he wouldn't be back tonight at all. Wen Renyao returned to the house to rest long ago, and the lights in his house seemed to have gone out, but Jiang Li still had no sleep.
And because it was too deserted, she even wanted to wake Wen Renyao and let Wen Renyao talk to her.
The candle light was faint, the candle shed tears, and dropped to the table with a clear and visible sound. It should have been a quiet night. For some reason, for no reason, Jiang Li suddenly felt uneasy.
It's really because the surroundings are too quiet.
On a spring night, even though it is quiet, there will always be a little bit of sound. For example, the sounds of frogs, the tails of fish swimming in the pond, the chattering of birds, or the sound of the evening breeze. These sounds dot the night, quiet and lively, and thriving.
But tonight, it was a little too quiet. Jiang Li didn’t hear anything, as if everything had been arranged, and stopped abruptly in the same one, and the faint singing and dancing sounds before, I don’t know when. All disappeared.
Jiang Li had goose bumps inexplicably.
Maybe it was because she had died once, but she also had an intuition about danger. Unlike the assassins' fear of facing powerful enemies, this intuition is like a wild beast smelling of danger and anxious at the moment before the disaster begins.
Jiang Li's heart felt a little depressed. She thought for a while, put on her outer dress, and gently opened the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I felt the door hit someone. In front of her door, two people were already squatting. Jiang Li almost screamed. The person immediately opened his mouth and lowered his voice, shortly. Said: "Second Miss, it's me!"
It was Zhao Ke's voice.
Just by the candlelight in the room, Jiang Li could see clearly that it was Zhao Ke and Wen Ji who were squatting at her door. She was extremely surprised. Although she knew that Zhao Ke and Wenji were responsible for protecting her own safety, she hadn't seen these two when she entered the door before, and why they squatted in front of her door, or they were guarding nearby. And why two people at night? When one person sleeps, one person rests, and they can take turns. How can they be so cautious
Jiang Li's brain was in a mess, and she couldn't figure it out for the time being, but there was one thing she understood deeply, I was afraid that something would happen tonight.
Sure enough, she had just thought of this level, and a pleasant voice came not far away. It was Wen Renyao's voice. He said, "Ms. Jiang Er, why are you out too?"
Jiang Li was surprised, and asked Zhao Ke, "What's the matter?"
"I'm afraid that there will be some movement tonight, Cheng Wang may have to take action to occupy Huangzhou during the night attack. There are soldiers and horses outside the city." Zhao Ke replied.
"There are also kings in Huangzhou?" Jiang Li asked.
Zhao Ke didn't seem to expect Jiang Li to think of this so quickly, he was taken aback, and then nodded. Realizing that Jiang Li might not be able to see him nodding in the dark, she said: "Yes. I didn't want to disturb the second lady, even if the night passed, I didn't expect the second lady to come out by herself." He hesitated, "Second lady Why did you come out suddenly?"
"I always feel uneasy, and something is going to happen." Jiang Li said, "Maybe you don't believe it, but you think it's too quiet tonight. I want to go out and have a look, but I didn't expect to meet you as soon as I came out."
Zhao Ke was stunned.
When they were talking in this way, Wen Renyao seemed to be dissatisfied with being left out in the cold, and unexpectedly ran over from the other end. He also took two small wooden benches in his hand and handed it to Jiang Li, saying: "You are talking What? Miss Jiang Er, why don't you just sit down here?"
Jiang Li said, "Why not sit in the house?"
"I'm afraid I will miss the signal." Zhao Ke explained.
Jiang Li knew it, and she asked, "Where is Ji Heng now?"
"He wants to deal with the night attack." Wen Renyao replied enthusiastically: "I have negotiated with the leader of the city defending army. He is the Duke of the country, and the city defending army has to listen to him. If it is Ji Heng, the person who becomes the king will be the king for the time being. He can't get in. But the people he stayed in Huangzhou may take the opportunity to cause chaos, may kill innocent people, or may open the gates of the chaos to let the soldiers in. So tonight is very important."
Jiang Li understood what Wen Renyao meant, and she said, "Where are the people?"
Wen Renyao said: "Except for the defenders near the city gates, some of them will stay in the city, but tonight... most of them will be burned, killed, and looted."
Turmoil, turmoil, and riots are nothing more than the word "chaos", and it will always be the innocent people who suffer. Even Ji Heng couldn't change this. He couldn't save everyone. Besides, Ji Heng is not a soft-hearted person. Perhaps he came to Huangzhou to defend the city and destroy his plan to become a king. It was not because he wanted to save the lives of the people in this city, but simply fulfilling his own purpose.
Although his purpose is not very clear, but faintly, Jiang Li can also feel some clues. It's just that this clue seemed very important to Ji Heng, so it was not convenient for her to ask directly. And asking others, such as Wen Renyao, those close to Ji Heng, I'm afraid they may not know the truth.
After all, it is a cloud of fog, and it is difficult to clear the clouds and see the sun.
"Miss Jiang Er, don't worry," Seeing Jiang Li's silence, Wen Renyao thought Jiang Li was afraid. He said, "Although Ah Heng is not there, I can protect you. Follow me, don't worry!"
Jiang Li was not very relieved, especially to Wen Renyao. If Zhao Ke and Wenji were guarding, it would be better to say that Wen Renyao needed more protection than her.
Thinking like this, but seeing the dark sky, I don't know when it was stained. It was as if someone took a torch and smeared it randomly in the sky, and painted that piece red. Immediately afterwards, the red became bigger and brighter, almost illuminating half of Huangzhou City, and then, a loud drum trumpet sounded.
Enemy night attack!
Jiang Li immediately turned to look at Zhao Ke and Wen Ji, their expressions were unprecedentedly solemn. Not far away, adjacent to it, people began to hear panicked footsteps. It seemed that the sound of the drum horn awakened many people in their sleep.
At this moment, the candles in Jiangli's room were also burned out, and the flames shook slightly and went out completely. There was no light in the room, only the sky illuminated in the distance.
They probably did it.
