Jiang Li stared at his hand blankly.
The jade pendant is intact, and the moonlight shines through the window, and it shines brightly and white with his hands. As if the civet cat is going to come alive too, he is like a glamorous and glamorous person walking out of a dark world, holding a deceptive token in his hand and handing it to him.
"This..." Jiang Li looked at him incredulously.
"You left this in the daytime." Ji Heng leaned back and said indifferently: "I forgot to return it to you." Seeing Jiang Li's delay in reaching out to pick it up, he put the jade pendant on the table. .
Jiang Li slowly held the jade pendant into his palm, and there was joy of loss and recovery from the bottom of his heart, and there was a hint of doubt. But her doubts were quickly overwhelmed, and a burst of blood came from Ji Heng's body. He was wearing red clothes and couldn't see anything under the moonlight, so he didn't know whether it was someone else's blood or his own blood.
He just didn't answer Jiang Li's question, so Jiang Li didn't know where he went or what he did. The only thing she can ask is: "Are you hurt?"
Ji Heng smiled without speaking.
Jiang Li took out the pair of scissors from her sleeve and put it on the table. She looked like a kid who had done something wrong. She was a little nervous, but hoped to make up for it. She said: "... Then I saw it on this pair of scissors. Bloodstain, I clearly stabbed that person before... I stabbed you... You... "
Ji Heng smiled and looked at her, and said, "You still don't believe me, Ari."
Jiang Li was taken aback, she understood Ji Heng's meaning in a moment.
Ji Heng was by her side at the time. In fact, she knew in her heart that Ji Heng would make a move, but she still took out the scissors at that moment. She didn't expose all her weaknesses in front of Ji Heng, leaving herself a retreat. She still doesn't fully believe in Ji Heng, even if she likes him a little bit.
These were all seen by Ji Heng.
She said: "I'm sorry..."
"It's not your fault," Ji Heng interrupted her, and he raised his eyebrows: "You died once after all."
Jiang Li was silent. Ji Heng thought she was hurt by Shen Yurong and refused to trust others. This was to relieve her, but Jiang Li knew that besides Shen Yurong, there was also her distrust of Ji Heng himself. It may be that the image of Ji Heng that appeared in front of her at the beginning was unpredictable, but weighed the pros and cons. Even after getting along, she gradually realized that Ji Heng was not that kind of person. When she was in danger, even if Ji Heng In front of her, she would instinctively protect herself.
If Ji Heng is a very sensitive person, he will be disappointed because of this. If Ji Heng is not a sensitive person... he is not a fool, and he naturally understands.
Jiang Li's heart was a little depressed, but she still energized, smiled reluctantly, and said, "So, are you hurt? If..."
"No." Ji Heng stood up: "I'm fine, you can rest early." He wants to walk outside the house.
"Where are you sleeping like this?" Jiang Li asked.
"Don't worry about me." He only left this sentence behind and walked out.
Jiang Li still wanted to go out, but couldn't make any step. After a long time, the moonlight was hidden in the clouds, and the room was completely dark. There was a slight movement outside, and it seemed that someone was talking, probably Zhao Ke and Wen Ji. She was sitting on the bed with a thin bedding, and she was at a loss.
This may also be a good thing for her. If Ji Heng thinks that she is such a selfish, untrustworthy person, the connection between them will be slowly cut off.
In the end, people's wish was fulfilled.
…
Outside the house, Zhao Ke lit the Huozhezi, Wen Ji looked for Qingshui, and was cleaning the wounds of Ji Heng sitting on the stone bench.
His sleeves were pulled apart, revealing the scars on his arm. The scar seemed to be cut by some sharp object, the wound was not long, but deep. Wen Ji slowly cleaned it up for him. Zhao Ke found a small medicine bottle as big as a palm from his bag. Wen Ji took it and sprinkled some powder on Ji Heng's wound.
Ji Heng didn't move at all, and didn't have any expressions, as if he couldn't notice the pain at all. Zhao Ke said: "My lord, are you hurt by your hands outside with others?"
He didn't know that Ji Heng's wound was not left by his hands, but Jiang Li was injured by accident. It's just a little strange to look at the wound. The shape of the wound doesn't look like a sword or a hidden weapon. But the start is very heavy, but if a man tries his best, he won't stop at this point. Could it be a woman who worked with your adult? Zhao Ke was thinking wildly, there won't be a woman in Mali, the king's soldier. But if it weren't for the king's soldiers and horses, what other enemies are there around here
Wen Ji helped Ji Heng bandage the wound. He was very familiar with what he did. Although he was a tall man, he did very meticulous work. Ji Heng took off his outer robe. Even though the red color did not bleed, there were some marks on it. If you look closely, you can still see it.
"My lord..." Wen Ji asked hesitantly, "Why do you want to go back?"
Wen Renyao and Lu Ji couldn't feel it, but Zhao Ke and Ji Heng could feel that Ji Heng suddenly left the carriage and turned back in the daytime, returning from the direction they came from.
Zhao Ke was speechless, he was also curious, but he didn't dare to ask this. Wenji was still bold enough to ask. Ji Heng didn't answer Wen Ji's words, but just looked at the wound on his hand, where Wen Ji's bandaged it properly. He said, "Do your own thing."
He didn't smile anymore, Wen Ji and Zhao Ke both felt stunned, knowing that Ji Heng was unhappy, and immediately said nothing. Went to vigil at the bedding place at the door just now.
Ji Heng sat on the stone bench with deep eyes.
Did he do something he shouldn't do.
…
On the second day, when Jiang Li got up, Wen Renyao was outside talking with Ji Heng.
When Lu Ji and Wen Renyao got up, they found Ji Heng there, which was very pleasantly surprised. After confirming that Ji Heng was safe and sound, they pestered Ji Heng to ask what he did to marry yesterday. Of course, Ji Heng did not answer. After making noise a few times, Wen Renyao became honest.
Jiang Li and Lu Ji greet Renyao, and Ji Heng also. They both tacitly understood each other, as if nothing happened last night. Everyone hurried on the road and got into the carriage. On the way, Jiang Li was more silent than before. If it weren't for Wen Renyao's constant search for words to talk to her, Jiang Li could not even say a word along the way. This silence was seen from a distance by Wenren, and even Lu Ji asked about what happened to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li had to use her own thinking about how to deal with his father's questions after returning to Yanjing.
"What's the problem?" Wen Renyao said: "Just push these things on us. You were taken captive by Cheng Wang's men to Huangzhou, and happened to be rescued by Ah Heng. You asked to return Yan. Jing, but Ah Heng is too busy to find someone to escort you back to Beijing. You have to wait until now. Even if Jiang Yuanfu wants to say anything, it has nothing to do with you. You ask him to go to the government's mansion to find Ah Heng, let Ah Heng talk to him."
Jiang Li: "..."
Wen Renyao really knows the truth of disaster.
"I don't know how Yan Jing is now." Lu Ji sighed.
"What is Yanjing City like?" Lin Yao asked, "Brother, are there many people in Yanjing City?"
"Of course." Wen Renyao said: "Yenjing city is much larger than Huangzhou, and the emperor lives in Yanjing city. The girls there are also beautiful, for example, your sister Jiang is a girl from Yanjing city, you say Are the girls in Yanjing City good-looking?"
Lin Yao was still young, and he probably couldn't tell Wen Renyao's "good-looking", but he was excited and a little nervous. He said, "Then we will stay in Yanjing City in the future?"
"Uh..." Wen Ren choked away, and heard that he often traveled around, similar to Ye Mingyu. Lin Yao couldn't answer what Lin Yao said, so he had to say, "We will stay there for now, and I will take you out for more walks in the future. In fact, Yanjing City is not so good..."
He talked for a while and said badly for a while, making Lin Yao puzzled. Jiang Li watched Wen Renyao talking so nonsense, and suddenly thought of something, and asked: "If we are on our current itinerary, the soldiers and horses of the king will be faster than us. When we arrive in Yanjing city, will it be possible? I met someone who became a king outside the city. Or when we first entered the city, when we faced the king Cheng entered the city, there was chaos at that time. I'm afraid the city gate won't open. How do we enter the city?"
Ji Heng did not answer, but Lu Ji opened his mouth. Lu Ji patiently explained, "Ms. Jiang, this path we walk will be a little closer than the other. Besides, we are in a hurry, and we will be more than a king. Arrive at Yanjing City earlier. As for the city gate, you don't have to worry about it."
Jiang Li felt relieved when he heard the words.
After that, as Lu Ji said, the journey went smoothly. After walking out of the most difficult mountain road, even the trails began to speed up. I never met any uninvited guests again.
By the morning of the seventh day, the city of Yanjing was already close at hand.
When I was in Huangzhou City before, I didn't feel that Jiang Li couldn't help but feel light when he was about to return to Yanjing City. It seems that Yenching has not been affected by Cheng Wang's soldiers, at least not seeing any strange people. However, there are a lot fewer people coming and going inside and outside the city gate. It may be that the people are still a little scared after all. And the teenagers at the gate of the city are much more cautious than before. Everyone who passes by must be carefully checked.
Wen Renyao looked outside and said, "It seems that King Cheng hasn't hit here yet."
"That's fast too." Lu Ji said, jumping out of the carriage, holding the directions in his hand, and went outside and said something to the two teenagers defending the city. The teenagers didn't check the inside and outside of the carriage carefully as before, but respectfully stepped away. Jiang Li guessed that Lu Ji did not hide Ji Heng's identity and that it would be so smooth.
The carriage drove into the city gate.
Outside was the familiar hustle and bustle, Wen Renyao opened the carriage curtain for a half, let Lin Yao look at it, and said, "Look, this is Yanjing City."
It was a child who was immediately dazzled by the prosperity of Yanjing City. Lin Yao muttered, "Brother, the streets of Yanjing City are so wide, wider than our two roads!"
"That is," Wen Renyao is not a Yanjing native, but he also showed a look like You Rongyan, "otherwise how can I teach Yanjing the city?"
Jiang Li couldn't help but smile as they listened to their conversation between the young and the young. But when he ran into Ji Heng's eyes, he still smiled at the corners of his lips, as if he was just staring at Jiang Li. Jiang Li turned his head and turned sideways, avoiding his gaze, and followed Lin Yao to look outside. .
The streets are filled with sugar sellers, doughmen, jugglers, and the voices of storytellers, and there are full of voices everywhere. Compared with the messy and scorched-earth Huangzhou at that time, Yanjing is like a paradise. The wars, corpses, fires, and fears have been separated far and wide, and they are two distinct worlds.
Jiang Li is also in a trance.
She was still thinking about whether to say goodbye to Ji Heng and the others here and go straight to the house. However, this might even arouse Jiang Yuanbai's suspicion, and some intentions to cover it up. But asking them to go to Jiang's house with themselves is a bit strange.
She went back to Jiang's house first, and Ye Mingyu would definitely get news soon. With the previous incident, Jiang Yuanbai was afraid that she would not let her out of the house easily.
Just thinking about it, Lin Yao was holding the carriage window and reaching out. He seemed to be surprised when he saw the juggling outside. He stood up, his body was swaying, half of his body was outside the car window, Jiang Li was taken aback, and said: "Xiao Yao, come down, you are really dangerous like this!"
As soon as the voice fell, the carriage shook suddenly. I didn't know what was going on, as if the horses were frightened. The entire carriage shook violently, and then stopped abruptly. Lin Yao shook his body and fell out of the carriage.
Jiang Li exclaimed.
He was still a child, and if he fell like this, he might be dead!
Jiang Li ignored the others and immediately ran out of the carriage. Outside the carriage, there were already a lot of people watching the excitement. No child's voice was heard. Jiang Li's heart was tight and could hardly bear to look. Zhao Ke and Wen Jicai would calm down the frightened horse.
At this moment, a soft female voice suddenly heard, and she said, "Whose child is this?"
Jiang Li looked up.
In front of her, stood a young woman. This woman was born very well, and she was almost too glamorous. However, in the beauty, there is a trace of heroism. She was wearing red clothes on horseback, pretty and warm. She did not dress like a Yanjing person. She was holding a riding whip in one hand and Lin Yao in the other. Lin Yao looked at Jiang Li in shock, and suddenly "wow" Burst into tears.
He stretched out his hand to Jiang Li: "Sister!"
"Is this your younger brother?" The woman said as she loosed her hand, Lin Yao stumbled towards Jiang Li, threw herself into Jiang Li's arms, choked, her body trembling, and she looked terrified.
Jiang Li said, "Thank you girl for helping."
The woman raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, her eyes suddenly passed behind Jiang Li, and she suddenly stopped.
If Jiang Li has realized something, turn his head back.
Behind him, Ji Heng walked out.
