In the land of Qingzhou, the red building by the river was burnt to ashes overnight, but fortunately there were no casualties. The mother of the Red Mansion was also missing, and the woman with the fireworks disappeared into the city overnight, as if she had never appeared before. Guests with good deeds recalled passing by the red building that night. They seemed to see the handsome man in red. They were shocked by the heavens. They were suspicious of the beauty and charm who came out of the mountains and woods. They came out to play in the world, and were afraid of being caught. Found the trail, and burned the Red Mansion on fire, and there was no trace to be found.
The rumors made the fire become more mysterious and fragrant.
The beautiful Qionglou Yuyu was burned to the torch, annihilating the love and hatred in it, no one knew what kind of drama had been sung on that night, and what kind of separation and reunion had been seen. In the middle of the night, at the gate of Qingzhou City, someone watched the carriage with the coffin go away.
"My lord." Wen Ji said: "Are you really going to see Yin Zhili?"
Both General Ji and Yin Zhan were lost. Ji Heng wanted to send General Ji back to Yanjing, but he couldn't personally escort him immediately because Jiang Li was still in their hands. Situ Jiuyue passed a letter to him from the city of Yanjing, only then did he know what happened in the past.
Sure enough, Yin Zhili didn't hurt Situ Jiuyue, except that Haitang was chopped off a little finger-that was also ordered by Yin Zhan. In fact, Yin Zhan also ordered that as long as Jiang Li was still there, he would send someone to kill the Ye family and others, and the province would have many nights and dreams. But Yin Zhili tried his best to oppose, threatened with his life, and finally let someone send the Ye family back.
At this moment, Ji Heng understood why Yin Zhan had a strange smile on his face when he died. He had paved the way for Yin Zhili to retreat early in the morning. Whether Yin Zhan died in the Red Mansion or not, Yin Zhili could use Jiang Li's life to threaten him.
"My lord, that bastard Yin Zhili, must set a trap, knowing that you will go for Miss Jiang Er, with the intention of killing you, you can't act rashly!" Zhao Ke also said.
"Sooner or later there will be a battle between Yin Zhili and I." Ji Heng smiled, "Since I promised Xue Huaiyuan, I will protect Ari."
Both Zhao Ke and Wen Ji were puzzled, why did protecting Jiang Li agree to Xue Huaiyuan? Does Xue Huaiyuan look at Jiang Li like this? But why does Ji Heng want to listen to Xue Huaiyuan's words? Xue Huaiyuan is important to Ji Heng
"But Yin Zhili camped in Luye, a hundred miles away. There were hundreds of people in the camp. We only have... How to break through? The Yin family soldiers don't know where they are now, they are afraid they are lying in ambush, waiting for the adults to throw themselves into the trap." Zhao Ke still disagrees.
"He has the Yin family soldiers, and the Jinwu Army has not all died in these years." Ji Heng said lightly. He looked into the distance, where the shadows of the carriages and horses were completely gone. His grandfather said goodbye to him this winter, and since then, no one is related to him in the world.
How could he lose Jiangli? In his whole life, in the final analysis, no one is protected anymore.
He turned around, his red robe was as bright as blood in the wind and snow, the whiter the snow, the redder the clothes, making his lips red and white teeth, magnificent and handsome.
He said: "Let's go."
Zhao Ke and Wen Ji stopped talking, and Ji Heng's attitude was so determined that they couldn't change it. As a subordinate, you should advance and retreat with the master.
Jiang Li is not Yu Ji, and Ji Heng is not the Overlord. The play of Farewell My Concubine was too tragic. He had watched all the tragedies and had never hoped so once. In this episode, she could accompany him to see the end, and the story was reunion at the end, and everyone was happy.
The wind and snow buried his tracks.
…
Above Luye, outside the account, Yin Zhiqing looked panic, tears in her eyes, as if she had been hit by a huge blow, she shuttled in front of the tent, and the soldiers did not stop her. Until she found Yin Zhili, who was drunk and drunk, hiding by the fire behind the tent.
"Yin Zhili!" Yin Zhiqing called out his name, her voice trembling, "They, they said that Dad is dead, what's going on?"
Yin Zhili opened his eyes dazedly and took a look at her. He was still holding the wine jar in his hand, and the wine was full of alcohol. He doesn't like drinking, but Yin Zhan always lets him drink, saying that as a man, how can he not drink enough. He still didn't like it, but now Yin Zhan is dead, but as Yin Zhan wished, he was drunk while holding the wine jar, but it was a pity that Yin Zhan never saw it anymore.
"Father is dead." He showed a strange smile to Yin Zhiqing, and said softly: "Father was killed by Ji Heng, Yijian—" He pointed to his throat, "Poke it through here!" Laughed weirdly.
"Impossible!" Yin Zhiqing grabbed his collar and said, "It's all fake. They talk nonsense, isn't it? Why did Su Guo Gong kill Dad? We didn't even see Dad..."
"He's just dead." Yin Zhili took another big gulp against the wine jar. "Father's men have seen it with their own eyes. It may not be long before Yanjing will tell the world."
"Why, why?"
"Because Dad killed Ji Heng's parents, so Ji Heng wants to avenge his parents. Hehehe, there is a debtor, and you have to remember this sentence." Yin Zhili smirked.
He looked mad, his clothes were mostly soaked by the spilled wine, he didn't even notice it, his hair was disheveled, his smile was weird, and there was no such thing as a jade-like posture from the past. While griefing, Yin Zhiqing was angry at Yin Zhili's doing so. She said, "Brother! What the hell is going on with you? You are not right after Dad talked to you that day. Why do you want me to go back to the cloud, Dad and you? What did you say? What animosity does our family and Lord Su have, tell me!"
That day, Yin Zhili asked Yin Zhiqing and Mrs. Yin to return to the cloud. Yin Zhiqing refused. Then suddenly one day, Yin Zhili took them out of the city. Yin Zhili left too eagerly, as if fleeing, Yin Zhiqing thought they were returning to the clouds, but they did not expect to come to Qingzhou. After that, things became incomprehensible for Yin Zhiqing. Their siblings used to talk about everything, but now, Yin Zhili refuses to say anything. He didn't have any explanation for what he did, including taking Jiang Li into captivity. Before that, Yin Zhiqing didn't know at all. She didn't know what was going on, only knew that life had changed beyond recognition. She lives in anxiety every day, always feel that what the Yin family will do next is something she cannot accept.
But this brother Yin Zhili also became a stranger.
Yin Zhili looked at Yin Zhiqing's anxious look in front of him, and suddenly smiled. He said, "Zhiqing, don't call me brother, who knows, whether we are related by blood."
As soon as these words came out, Yin Zhiqing's expression changed, and said, "You... what do you mean?"
"Father, for the sake of the one in the palace, can even kill his own son and wife. He has been indifferent to his mother for so many years. Maybe you are not father's son at all." Yin Zhili said.
"Yin Zhili!" Yin Zhiqing screamed, her voice drew the soldiers in the distance to look here, she miraculously Baihuan said: "How can you say that! You slander my mother, you bastard!"
"Do you want to be a father's daughter that way?" Yin Zhili didn't care, lying on the place like a puddle of mud, and said drunkly: "What's so good about being a father's son? Look at me, people are not people now. A ghost or a ghost, I’m forced to accept a fate I don’t like. Fuck my fate!" He became excited, and his voice became harsh, "Don’t you want to know what I want to do? Okay, let me tell you. To kill Ji Heng, to raise troops to rebel, to use the occasion as the boundary, to stand on his own as the king, to occupy half of the country, or to force the palace to be in position, I will do all of these! Is it what I want to do? Why do I want to do this? Do it, because I am Yin Zhan's son, and my mother is the one in the palace!"
After he finished speaking in one breath, Yin Zhiqing was dumbfounded, and even forgot to cry. She tremblingly asked: "You said..."
"I'm the queen mother's son." Yin Zhili looked at her and said with a smile: "Now you know why Dad has to go back to Beijing to do these things? Because he has already thought about it. The position in the world belongs to our Yin family. It’s so good for you to be the daughter of an ordinary family. Unlike now, as long as your surname is Yin, you will be charged with the charge of a rebel and a criminal, and you will never be cleared away."
Yin Zhiqing covered her mouth, and she thought of what Jiang Li said to her that day. She said that Su Guogong and the Yin family had an endless vengeance. She also thought that Jiang Li deliberately deceived her in order to get revenge. Now it seems that Jiang Li is telling the truth... But this fact is too difficult for people to avoid. Accepted.
She didn't know what to say, and couldn't face such Yin Zhili, turned around and ran out.
Yin Zhili didn't even look at her, drinking by herself. Yin Zhiqing ran out crying. She thought of her mother. This image could not be seen by Madam Yin. If Madam Yin knew everything, how sad she would be in her heart. For so many years, Mrs. Yin has always attributed Yin Zhan’s sudden indifference to her because she did not do a good job, but she didn’t know that this matter had nothing to do with her, but because she was a fig leaf that Yin Zhan sought to hide her ambition, including herself. … Is also a bargaining chip to be used.
Yin Zhiqing's heart was extremely sad, but she didn't know who could find someone to tell her, but she walked outside Jiang Li's tent without knowing it.
There was a figure sitting quietly in the tent, Yin Zhiqing walked in, and the soldiers guarding outside did not stop him.
Jiang Li was sitting in the tent with a lamp on the table. She supported her head with one hand. She didn't know what she was thinking. When she heard the movement, she turned her head to look, her eyes stopped on Yin Zhiqing's face.
Yin Zhiqing's face was full of tears.
Jiang Li frowned: "Pingyang County Lord? What's wrong with you?"
Just an ordinary question, Yin Zhiqing's panic and helplessness these days, grievances and unwillingness all poured out, she took a few steps forward and looked at Jiang Li and said: "Did you know it long ago!" "
"Know what?" Jiang Li looked at her puzzled.
A huge sorrow burst out of Yin Zhiqing's heart. She said, "Knowing that my father killed Su Guo Gong's parents, now it is Su Guo Gong's turn to avenge his parents."
Jiang Li was surprised. She knew that the Ji family and the Yin family had feuds, but Ji Heng did not tell her about the various origins. She did not know that Ji Heng’s parents were killed by Yin Zhan. understood.
"How did you know?" Jiang Li asked.
"Yin Zhili told me." Yin Zhiqing slumped in the chair, as if losing all his strength.
"Why did Yin Zhili tell you these things?" Jiang Li asked, "Could it be Yin Zhan..."
Yin Zhiqing cried bitterly, and Jiang Li saw her doing this, and knew that he was probably the one who guessed it. Yin Zhan is dead? That means that Ji Heng is safe, and the heart that has been hanging one after another has finally been let go. She has been locked up here these days, and she has no way of knowing the news from the outside. The news brought by Yin Zhiqing can be regarded as good news for the time being.
But it is not the case for Yin Zhiqing, she cried heartbreakingly, and kept muttering: "Why... why did it become like this?"
This is actually not Yin Zhiqing’s fault. Yin Zhan’s decision ruined Yin Zhili and Yin Zhiqing. Judging from their appearance, they didn't know it, just because of Yin Zhan's ambition, they would have to bear great pain.
Jiang Li whispered: "It's not your fault, and you don't have to blame yourself."
Yin Zhiqing didn't stop crying because of this, Jiang Li said again: "Can you help me get out of here?"
Yin Zhiqing's cry stopped suddenly, and she looked at Jiang Li suspiciously.
"Yin Zhili intends to use me to threaten Ji Heng. You know that. I know you like Ji Heng and don't want Ji Heng to be injured. If Ji Heng is hurt because of me, I will suffer too, and you will not be all. No feeling. I know that you are not happy to stay here. If you save me, I will go with you and leave here, you don’t have to fulfill your destiny that shouldn’t belong to you.”
Yin Zhiqing stared at Jiang Li in a daze. Jiang Li pointed her to a completely different path. At this time of misty and chaotic conditions, this path was so clear and bright, so desirable, that she almost wanted Can't help but nod immediately, and immediately escaped with Jiang Li.
However, she did not answer, only after a long time, she said: "I can't do it."
Jiang Li looked at her quietly.
"These soldiers, don't follow my instructions. Although I have martial arts, I can't fight so many people. You are the person who is being stared at. I can't take you away from under their noses. And there is my mother. , I can’t take two people away at the same time. If I and you run away, they will anger my mother. Yin Zhili may not do this, but other people, people who have suffered a catastrophe because of this, will vent all their anger. On my mother."
She has a clear bite, and there are still wet tears on her face, but she has not continued to cry. Instead, as if she had figured it out clearly, she said: "And I can't go. My name is Yin, it is impossible to escape this fate. Where can you let me go? No one will protect me except the Yin family. , The world will only regard me as an imperial court thief, and I can’t wait to kill him and then hurry up.”
Jiang Li sighed softly, everyone has their own position, and Yin Zhiqing is actually right. If Jiang Li stood in Yin Zhiqing's position, he would struggle like her, and it was Yin Zhiqing's father Yin Zhan who made the mistake, and Yin Zhiqing would not accept it.
However, there was one thing Jiang Li didn’t understand. She asked: "Do you know what the grudge between Ji Heng and the Yin family is? If your father killed Ji Heng’s parents, why did you kill them? ?"
Yin Zhiqing took a deep breath, shook her head and said, "I don't know, I don't want to know anymore." She stood up and looked at Jiang Li sadly. She said, "I have heard of what you suffered in Qingcheng Mountain. I sympathized with you once, but now it seems that you are much better than me. The charge on your body is false, and one day it will be cleared up, and you will not be ashamed. But the charge on my body is true and always will be It can't be cut off."
"You are you, Yin Zhan is Yin Zhan." Jiang Li reminded.
"If I can, I also hope I don't have the surname Yin. I'm sorry, Jiang Li," Yin Zhiqing said: "I can't help you, I can't take you out of here. But you think that Lord Su will really go deep for you. There are all Yin family soldiers above Luye, and he will definitely die when he comes."
Jiang Li's heart beat fiercely. She had an instinct that Ji Heng would definitely come, but she said, "If his wish can come true, I hope he will never come."
Yin Zhiqing looked at her steadily, and said after a long time: "I hope too."
Jiang Li didn't know what she meant by "I also hope". She hoped that Ji Heng hadn't planted his love for Jiang Li to the point where he was willing to exchange his life? I still hope that Ji Heng will not get hurt.
"There is one more thing, I want to ask the Lord of Pingyang County." Jiang Li said.
"I can't help you much."
"It's not for me, it's Ji Heng."
Yin Zhiqing frowned: "What's the meaning?"
"I don't know how your brother is going to deal with Ji Heng, but I think he will not be soft when he starts. If Ji Heng gets jailed for me, it is the last thing I want to see. You like Ji Heng, and you definitely don't want him. If you die, if you can help Ji Heng then, please help him. As for me, you don’t care. Actually I am the same in life or death. That’s great too."
Yin Zhiqing didn't speak any more, just stood there, thinking quietly for a while, and then said: "I see." She walked out of the tent.
Jiang Li didn't chase it out, and the tent seemed to be reverberating with desperate crying. She knew that there was no time. Since Yin Zhan is dead, Yin Zhili will immediately start the second plan, he will use himself to lure Ji Heng.
Jiang Li prayed silently in her heart, mother, if you are alive in the sky and looking at your daughter, please help Ji Heng to keep him safe and sound.
…
This night, there was a blizzard. In the morning of the next day, the snow did not stop. Last night's snow had not melted, and new snow was added. The blood on the ground could not exceed one's knees. Looking at it, it was white.
Jiang Li stood in the tent, and the soldier at the door guarded her. She looked out, and as far as she could see, there was only a long and long plain, and a white jungle in the distance.
It is said that many years ago, Luye was a dense forest, and many white deer lived near the long river. The white deer drinks water in the Changhe, hence the name "Luye". Hundreds of years later, the forest disappeared and the place became a plain. There was no trace of the white deer, but the name Luye survived.
The long river is not far away. There is no end in sight of the long river on weekdays, and now it has all been blocked by ice. People can walk on it without breaking the ice. The goose feathers and heavy snow are blowing up. In this plain, there seems to be only white and black armor, nothing.
Someone came over, the soldiers stepped aside, Jiang Li saw Yin Zhili.
Yin Zhili is very different from the past. He always wears white clothes and looks as gentle as jade. His tone says that he is the son of a general, rather than the son of Pian Pianjia in any house. Jiang Li has never seen him wearing armor, but today he wears armor and tied up his long hair with an indifferent but cold expression on his face. He went into the tent.
Jiang Li turned to look at him.
"Tell you a good news, Ji Heng killed my dad and he survived."
Jiang Li didn't cheer for it. Yin Zhili probably didn't know this. Yin Zhiqing told him about this matter last night. And Yin Zhili didn't care, he just continued: "Father is dead, and I have to do what he told me to do. Do you understand what I mean, Miss Jiang Er?"
"I understand." Jiang Li replied, "You are going to use me to siege Ji Heng."
Yin Zhili's hand hanging beside him was slightly clenched, and he said: "I originally thought that as long as my father is not dead and Ji Heng dies first, this ending can be avoided. Although you will hate me for it, at least I Don’t commit suicide in front of you, but also use you. This is the worst choice for me. But now it seems that God is not on my side. I still have to go this way. The struggle is It's meaningless, this is the end of you and me."
Jiang Li didn't speak, the expression on Yin Zhili's face at this moment was really terrifying. Without his softness, even the indecision of the past has become kind at this moment. His expression seemed to be going to do a terrible thing, full of sharpness and determination.
"The world says that Lord Su is moody, shrewd and cruel. I think maybe he won't come to save you. In this way, although it is a pity that he can't be killed, it will let you see his true face clearly. Not a good thing. Since I am already a wicked person in Miss Jiang Er's heart, it is best that he is not much better in Miss Jiang Er's heart."
He was very angry at what he said. If you don’t look at his expression, Jiang Li will probably feel naive and ridiculous, but it is a pity that Yin Zhili now has become very paranoid. He stubbornly believes that everything is the fault of others, and He must go this way, no one can persuade him.
"Why do you have to kill Ji Heng?" Jiang Li said, "The grievances of the previous generation have ended."
"It's not over!" Yin Zhili interrupted Jiang Li. He said: "My father killed his father and mother, and he killed my father and mother in turn. In order to avenge my father, I must kill him. The Yin family He and Ji’s family are destined to be dead enemies. Either I die or he dies, until one of them is dead, and there will be no future generations. Why did my dad leave troubles? It’s because when he killed Ji’s family, he was left alive. This mistake, It won't be committed to me."
Jiang Li looked at Yin Zhili coldly, and her last sympathy for Yin Zhili disappeared. Hatred will blind people's eyes and become another person. The current Yin Zhili is completely different from the past Yin Zhili. He wanted to kill Ji Heng with all his heart, regardless of whether Yin Zhan had made a mistake in the first place, and how many creatures in the world would be disgraced after he raised his troops.
"You will regret it." Jiang Li said.
"I only regret not killing him earlier." Yin Zhili laughed, and he said: "Also let him get the imperial decree and get you! But," he laughed again and said: "As long as he is dead, you still mine."
"But I will never fall in love with you."
"Then why do you fall in love with Ji Heng?" Yin Zhili stopped smiling, staring at her, pressing hard every step of the way, "How many lives in his hand, killing people like hemp! Just because you like him, so his sin is not a sin? Just because you don’t like me, I am a wicked person in your eyes? The biggest difference between me and Ji Heng is that his father didn’t let him bear a name, and I was born in the Yin family, so I was destined to sacrifice for the Yin family!"
"No." Jiang Li looked at him coldly and replied: "Ji Heng is a villain feared by the world, but he has never hurt me. And you are praised by the world, but you use I. Of course you and him are different people, but they have nothing to do with your parents."
Yin Zhili stopped talking, but stared at her fiercely, as if he wanted to kill her but couldn't bear to do it. He turned his head abruptly, snorted coldly, and said, "Whatever you say. It will be Ji Heng today. Come, he will not survive today!"
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Li asked sharply.
"I didn't do anything." Yin Zhili said casually: "This Luye up and down is all my people. The archers outside are already ready. There is a plain above Luye, and there is nowhere to hide. Ji Heng dared to come. , You must be prepared to be pierced by the arrow. Of course, he can bring soldiers to come, but you are in my hands, he always has to beware. I heard that when my father besieged and killed Ji Minghan, Hundreds of archers in Hongshan Temple ambush Ji Minghan, and Ji Minghan cannot escape. Miss Jiang, I have given Ji Heng the same way of death as his father. It is already the greatest respect to him."
Jiang Li scolded angrily: "Despicable!"
"He is not an upright person!" Yin Zhili seemed to be stimulated by these words, and said angrily: "Of course I can be mean too!"
Jiang Li was extremely angry, such Yin Zhili was simply a lunatic, and couldn't talk to him at all. When there was still a stalemate, I suddenly heard a whistle outside, the whistle was sharp and sharp, and the sound was rapid. Yin Zhili was taken aback, grabbed Jiang Li and threw it aside, and rushed out.
Jiang Li wanted to go out too, but was stopped by a small soldier, so he could only stand in front of the tent. There was only a vast expanse of whiteness in the field, and a red figure appeared between the sky and the earth. The red figure is riding on the horse, and the horse is covered with red armor. It rides one person and one ride. In the wind and snow, it is like a human being, and the snow can't hide its vividness.
Jiang Li's eyes were hot, she almost shed tears, and called "Ji Heng"!
The Yin Zhili outside was also stunned. For a while, he sneered: "It seems that he is very courageous, and he has a deep affection for you. It is a pity that Huiji will be hurt, and his love will not live long." He shouted: "The archer prepares. !"
The archers in the armor all aimed at the man, Jiang Li wanted to rush out, but couldn't do anything. He watched the red, which became brighter.
He is the only one.
