Jiang Li was awakened by Wenren.
When she woke up, the people beside her who slept on the ground last night almost fell asleep in twos and threes. Wen Ji is gone, Zhao Ke is still there, Wen Renyao is still holding Lin Yao, looking at her and saying: "Second Miss, are you awake?"
"What's the matter?" Jiang Li looked around, fully awake, and asked: "Is it over?"
"The soldiers and horses of King Cheng have retreated for the time being, and everyone has gone home." Wen Renyao said, "It should not come again today. According to Ah Heng's prediction, as long as King Cheng has defended last night, King Cheng will not be able to attack the city. Come here." He approached Jiang Li and said, "Your Majesty has sent General Wuwei to relieve the siege."
Jiang Li heard the words and said: "When General Wuwei comes, only General Ping Rong can be used. It is impossible for General Ping Rong to leave the station. Is it possible that King Xia is coming back?"
"Nine in every ten." Wen Renyao said and stood up, because he held a child in his hand and sat on the ground for another night, he almost couldn't stand firmly and he staggered. Jiang Li also stood up, and Zhao Ke said, "Second Miss, let's go back first."
Although Jiang Li didn't know where they said "going back", she nodded.
Along the way, the streets were in a mess. Even though Jiang Li was forcibly taken over when he first arrived in Huangzhou, she still remembered that Huangzhou City was not as prosperous as Yanjing City, but it was still lively and beautiful. Now that the city was devastated by the fire last night, only charred black remains, and there are ruined walls everywhere. There were still dried blood and corpses on the ground. Some people are kneeling in front of their family's bodies and running out of pain, while others are dragging their tired bodies and starting to clean up their destroyed homes.
As long as it is not burnt, it must be saved, and it will not be possible to sleep on the street for the rest of the day. In front of the door that could not be saved and burned to ashes, the owner of the house sat at the door and cried, crying loudly. The place of Anshengli was destroyed, and no one felt sad. These crying sounds reach people's ears, and it makes people feel sad. Overnight, how many people’s wives scattered. These people spend their days in Huangzhou City. Who would have thought that this natural and man-made calamity would suddenly come to them. It is an unpredictable disaster, and the world is impermanent.
Jiang Li walked all the way, sighing all the way. When he reached the gate of Huangzhou City Mansion, he saw two stone lions at the gate, neatly lying in rows of people in black. These people in black were all dead, but there were no wounds on their faces and no extra wounds on their bodies. They were all killed by a single blow. Some mouths shed dirty blood.
Jiang Li asked, "These are the people who came out to prevent fire last night, the people Cheng Wang arranged in Huangzhou City?"
Zhao Ke said, "Yes. Your lord has sent someone to search for their whereabouts. These people are dead men, and they can't ask anything. If they are caught, that's all they have been found, but there is no guarantee that there will be no remnants in the city, so the second lady You must pay attention to safety."
Jiang Li nodded: "I know."
Zhao Ke took Jiang Li and Wen Renyao onward. At the end of the road, a house finally appeared. The house was probably burned, but the fire was quickly extinguished, so except for the scorched black on the door frame, the rest of the place was still intact. Zhao Ke walked in with Jiang Li, Wen Ji was already inside. When I walked to the hall, I saw Lu Ji. Lu Ji may have not slept all night, and his expression could not be concealed from exhaustion. The neat beard he had repaired by himself became a little messy at this moment. Seeing the two of Jiang Li, said: "You are back."
"Lu Ji, why do you look tired?" Wen Renyao said: "If you are tired, rest, don't hold on."
Lu Ji was about to say something, his eyes fell on Lin Yao who was in Wen Renyao's arms. Lin Yao saw Lu Ji looking at him, turned his head, and buried his head in Wen Renyao's arms. This boy is delicate and cute, and even his personality is as timid and shy as a girl. In addition, he has just gone through the drastic changes in his home and is very distrustful of people.
"Where did this come from?" Lu Ji asked.
"Miss Jiang Er was rescued from the assassin last night. Her parents, brothers and sisters were gone, and he was left alone and escaped. I looked at him like this, but it is very suitable for our "Xianmen", thinking about it. Don't accept him as an apprentice."
"Being an apprentice?" Jiang Li didn't even know Wen Renyao's idea, and asked in surprise, "What is suitable for'Xianmen'?"
Wen Renyao is calm: "People like us, leaking secrets and tampering with the fate of others, are just reconciling fate. Of course, God won't allow it, so people like us are born to be the lone star of the evil spirit. Cough, of course, This is just a meaning. The protégés of'Xianxianmen' have changed dramatically since their childhood, and their parents, wives, children and children have all died. The same is true for me. I am an orphan. When my father died, he entrusted me to the master. I went down the mountain. For so many years, I have never confiscated apprentices. It is really because most of the people in the family who died in the family are too old. Even when they are young, they also want to avenge their families, so I only said that I would accept apprentices. They drove me away. This little guy is good. He is much younger than me. The enemies of his parents and family have been resolved. There is nothing to worry about in the world. It is best to come to our school and be my apprentice."
He babbled a lot, and Jiang Li was dumbfounded. She asked why Wen Renyao always stared at Lin Yao before, and thought Wen Renyao was a curious kid. Unexpectedly, it was this idea, Jiang Li said: "No matter what, even if Mr. Wenren wants to accept apprentices, it's best to ask Lin Yao's idea. It's his business after all."
"Natural, natural." Wen Renyao replied, but he didn't seem to take Jiang Li's words to heart. Jiang Li sighed and didn't say much to him. At this time, I really don't care about these things. It's better to comfort Xiao Lin Yao first, and I will talk about the future.
Lu Ji said to Jiang Li, "My lord is in the house."
Jiang Li looked at him, and Lu Ji replied, "If the second lady has something to say, you can go to the house to find an adult." He stood up and said, "I'll take a rest for two hours first. Wenren, you guard the door. Zhao Ke and Wenji were also tired all night, so let's rest soon." After that, he turned around and went to another room, closing the door.
Wen Renyao shrugged and said to Jiang Li, "I will take this kid back to the room first."
Jiang Li stood in front of Ji Heng's house, hesitated, and opened the door.
The people in the room are sitting at the table.
After the night attack last night, it started to rain in the morning, the rain was endless, and the sky became gloomy. The morning in the house was like the evening. When Jiang Li walked in, only one back could be seen, and he was getting closer. He saw Ji Heng leaning on the wooden chair, closing his eyes slightly.
She sat down on the chair next to Ji Heng.
Hearing Jiang Li's movement, he opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Li.
"Sorry," Jiang Li said, "I didn't mean to wake you up."
Ji Heng smiled lazily. Although he didn't say anything, he could feel that defending the city on this day was not easy. Although Jiang Li didn't see it with his own eyes, the frantic Cheng Wang had been preparing for a long time for the sake of last night. Those who had to guard it, I'm afraid they have also made a huge sacrifice.
Jiang Li's gaze fell on Ji Heng again, probably for convenience, but he didn't wear red clothes, but black armor. This caused his usual deceptive aura to fade, and Chen Su became bitter. However, when he laughed, it was meaningless, as indifferently as an outsider.
He was in black clothes, and it was hard to tell whether he was injured, or there was blood stains. Jiang Li asked: "Are you... okay?"
"Of course." Ji Heng said: "I heard you saved a child?"
"Yes, the kid's family is dead."
"Jiang Yuanbo will be mad." Ji Heng raised his eyebrows. "He is cunning like a fox, but he has a daughter who loves the world."
"It's not that I love the people of the world." Jiang Li said lightly: "I just remembered A Zhao. A Zhao was like this when he was a child."
Ji Heng stopped talking. He knew that Jiang Li was also Xue Fangfei. Of course, he knew that Xue Fangfei had a younger brother, Xue Zhao, who was later killed by Princess Yongning. Apart from Xue Huaiyuan, the Xue family is just a pair of siblings. I can imagine that the brother and sister had a deep relationship, and how hard Xue Fang was hit by Xue Zhao after his death.
"Then you can raise him." Ji Heng said: "Let him follow Xue Huaiyuan."
Lin Yao had no parents, and Xue Huaiyuan had lost his son, so he could be a companion.
Jiang Li smiled slightly, Ji Heng thought long-term. She looked at Ji Heng again and asked, "Will Cheng Wang continue to attack the city? When he gets news from General Wu Wei, he will go to Yanjing immediately."
"Of course." Ji Heng said: "From Huangzhou to Yanjing, all the soldiers and horses are the kings. When he kills Yanjing, the soldiers and horses are strong and unstoppable. Even standing there is enough to make Yan. The people of Beijing are in a state of chaos."
"But isn't King Xia coming?" Jiang Li said: "Your Majesty has no choice but to recall King Xia. When His Majesty never became the throne, King Xia went to the northwest. For so many years, for King Xia, your Majesty probably There are no other thoughts, and there is no reason to beware."
Ji Heng turned his head and looked at Jiang Li quietly. His amber eyes were dark and bright in the bright and dark light, without the passion of acting on the scene, and there were more things that Jiang Li couldn't understand.
"Master of the country," Jiang Li was silent for a while before saying: "You really want the other party, is it actually King Xia, right?"
Ji Heng did not answer.
Jiang Li said to himself: "I didn't know why the first emperor wanted to expel King Xia to the northwest, but King Xia stayed in the northwest for many years. Your Majesty has no reason to recall him unless he becomes a king and waits for him to become a king. If something happens, King Xia will return to Beijing. All this is due to the three-point situation caused by the diligent work of the Lord. Otherwise, if either side falls first, the timing of King Xia’s appearance may be wrong. County King Xia will return to Beijing sooner or later, maybe not now, but also in the future. The reason why the Lord of the Country chose such an opportunity is because it is not perfect for King Xia."
"But I still don't understand one thing," Jiang Li said: "If you want to deal with Yin Zhan, you can use other methods, why use war, and call Yin Zhan back to Yanjing openly. I don't know why..." she He lowered his head and said: "Reminds me of the Xue family and Princess Yongning. I tried my best to avenge the Xue family and bring Princess Yongning to the eyes of the world, because only in this way can Xue Fangfei's death be seen again. I am In order to reverse the case for Xue Fangfei, what are you doing?"
Her voice was crisp and gentle, and she didn't rush to tell her, as if she was telling a gentle story. The dim light outside shone on her side face, and the red spots on the girl's face were also blurred and inconspicuous, showing a delicate outline.
The young man gave a low laugh, his voice still meaningless, and he said, "Just by what you just said, you can die."
Jiang Li said, "Of course I know."
"Then you still ask?"
"I hope I can help."
Ji Heng was not aggressive. He didn't know if he was tired or didn't want to talk about it. He just said, "You can't help, don't waste your energy."
Jiang Li frowned, and he closed his eyes again, as if extremely tired.
He still did not answer Jiang Li's question, but he did not deny Jiang Li's speculation. Jiang Li had already slept for a while and was not sleepy, so she sat beside Ji Heng in a daze.
From a distance, it looked like he was guarding him.
