From before to now, Jiang Li disliked the parting very much. When she was in Tongxiang, she was very sad to marry and bid farewell to her father and brother. Now it is more sad than then, because she knows the danger of going to Ji Heng here. This is not a good battle, Yin Zhan has worked hard to break the net and worked hard for so many years, just for the arrival of this day.
The Queen Mother did not hesitate to let Cheng Wang go to deal with Emperor Hong Xiao, and let Cheng Wang and Emperor Hong Xiao compete with each other. If Ji Heng hadn't intervened in it, it would be very easy for the current Yin family to want the benefit of the left-handed fisherman.
Jiang Li was still thinking about Ji Heng's injuries. She said, "Can't you go later?"
"Yin Zhili will do it soon." Ji Heng smiled, "You can't let people seize the opportunity."
Jiang Li was silent, Yin Zhili had become another person, Yin Zhan's death, his life experience, Yin Zhiqing's death, one after another will make him suffer a huge impact, ordinary people will collapse under such circumstances. Jiang Li thought that Yin Zhili would not collapse, but it was definitely not the former Yin Zhili. When he decided to use himself to blackmail Ji Heng, the Yin Zhili who could not bear the war to hurt the people in the past has disappeared.
She thought of Yin Zhiqing again. Yin Zhiqing blocked Yin Zhili's knife for Ji Heng, and I don't know if he is still alive. Jiang Li hopes that Yin Zhiqing will get better. Yin Zhiqing has done nothing wrong. In some respects, it was the biggest mistake that she was born in the Yin family.
Ji Heng had already put on the armor, which was quite different from the way he used to be lazy and graceful in the past. Perhaps Ji Heng is very similar to Yu Hongye, but in his bones, he is exactly the same as Ji Minghan. Jiang Li had never seen Ji Minghan, but as long as he looked at Ji Heng's appearance at the moment, he could roughly imagine how handsome General Jin Wu was back then.
He patted Jiang Li on the shoulder, and said, "What are you still waiting for? Let's go."
Ji Heng seemed to have recovered completely, but Jiang Li bandaged him last night, and the scars were too deep and deep, and it was impossible to recover in a very short time.
"If you can't hold on, don't force it." Jiang Li said earnestly: "Ji Heng, there is nothing more hopeful than living. Only by living can everything be possible."
"Little girl," he squinted, "you are not always selfish? Why are you selfish today?"
Jiang Li stretched out her hand to hug him and whispered softly: "I'm just afraid of losing you."
In her life, she had lost her relatives, but fortunately, she had lost it and regained it. But God will not look after her again and again. Many people are lost if they are lost, and they will never come back. Take Ji Minghan, Yu Hongye, and General Ji.
People can be strong or calm, but as long as they are mortals, they will not be so calm that they may lose their sweetheart and become indifferent.
The smile on Ji Heng's face faded. He was held by Jiang Li, and he seemed to feel the anxiety in Jiang Li's heart, so he sighed and said, "Trust me, Ari."
Zhao Ke walked in outside the cave and said, "My lord, the carts and horses are all ready."
Jiang Li let go, and Ji Heng said, "Let's go, I'll see you off."
If Ji Heng is to stay in Qingzhou, Jiang Li must return to Yanjing City. Yin Zhili can take ginger pear once, and naturally he can also take ginger pear twice. On the battlefield, Ji Heng may not always be able to protect Jiang Li, and the sword has no eyes. Jiang Li does not know martial arts, if he is injured, it will only drag Ji Heng.
Jiang Li also knew this truth well, so even though he was worried, he still agreed with Ji Heng's decision. Ji Heng picked dozens of people to escort Jiang Li back to Beijing, and the way he went was water, but it was not easy to be noticed.
It's just that the farewell road seemed extremely short, as if it hadn't been long before I arrived at the pier.
When the ship docked, the water in the long river was frozen, but the Yongding River was not. The passing passenger ships floated on the river, and the heaven and the earth were almost connected together, especially magnificent. Jiang Li wore the fox fur cloak that Ji Heng gave her, and looked up at Ji Heng.
She was reluctant to take the steps to get on the boat, but she taught Ji Heng a smile. He said: "Why didn't you find out before, you are so clingy?" He said this in a joking tone, as if joking, but Jiang Li couldn't laugh at all. She is used to smiling gestures, and she often uses smiles to cover up her emotions in her heart. Today, she can't squeeze a smile. Even gave birth to a kind of meaninglessness, if you really can't laugh, then don't laugh.
Jiang Li stood on tiptoe, stroked Ji Heng's face with both hands, closed his eyes, and gently kissed his lips.
Even others said she didn't know any shame, and she also recognized her abuse of morals. She just didn't want to regret it, she let go of her hand, and the next moment, Ji Heng held her back of the head and pulled her to herself, deepening the kiss.
In the snow-filled sky, the young man kissed the petite girl. He kissed deeply and passionately, decisively and tenderly, just like his contradictory heart, with cautious piety. Jiang Li raised her head to accept the kiss, only feeling warm in her eyes, as if she was about to shed tears.
The guards turned around and didn't look at the lingering kiss goodbye. The lone boat on the river moored quietly, leaving people on the dock, as if they had seen all the scenes in the past, and it was not as hard as this moment.
It took a long, long time before Ji Heng let go. Jiang Li didn't look at him anymore, she turned around, raised the skirt corner, and got on the boat.
The guards followed on the boat, Zhao Ke and Wen Ji stayed beside Ji Heng. They were Ji Heng's right and left arms. This time they were going to battle with Ji Heng. It was that the two of them felt sour when they saw this parting, let alone mention Jiheng.
Jiang Li stood on the bow of the boat, the boat moved slowly, Ji Heng's heroic and tall in the wind and snow, that bright red, especially bright in the ice and snow, as if to be such a domineering existence in her memory, and never fade. Jiang Li suddenly remembered the spring night in his dream, when the spring breeze passed the lively crowd, and he stopped at her wall. She is still a married woman. He had just died of despair for his father's death, but it was a blunder. He made his first bond in a play on the swing.
I don't know when this war will end. Jiang Li hopes that he will be able to meet him again on the spring night, when everything is born in spring. He reappears and continues to write a story that has not been finished since very early.
The boat was getting farther and farther, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger, and soon, the red became a red dot. Jiang Li stared at that spot without blinking, until Fengxue completely covered his figure, and there was no more Ji Heng's shadow in front of him. Only the wide river reminded them to separate.
I hope the reunion is not far away, I hope we meet again.
…
It takes twenty days to travel from Qingzhou to Yanjing. When Jiang Li returned to Yanjing City, Ji Heng should have told the people in the Guogong Mansion in advance that Ye Mingyu and others did not live in Yefu now, but all lived in the Guogong Mansion. Therefore, after Jiang Li returned to Yanjing City, he went to the Guogong Mansion first.
A white lantern was hung outside the Guogong Mansion. In the days when Jiang Li was away, General Ji was buried. Originally, as the only grandson of the Guogong Mansion, Ji Heng did not put on a linen and filial piety for the old general Ji Heng. If Ji Heng's temperament were used in the past, the people in the city would say that Ji Heng was indeed an unfilial bastard. But this time it didn't happen. The reason was that the King Xia rebelled in Qingzhou and Ji Heng took the Jinwu Army to rehabilitate. For heroes, the people are always extra tolerant. Although this hero had a bad reputation in the past, and he didn't necessarily have military exploits, he did so, and it gave him a reason for not being able to return to Beijing in time.
After so many years, there are only two people in the Guogong Mansion, Ji Heng and Old General Ji. Ji Heng's temperament is moody and doesn't make friends with others. Old General Ji was no longer in the center again, so the door fell into the cold, and after the death of the heroic general, there were very few people who came to mourn. There are few people in the Guogong Mansion, and the white lanterns and the word filial piety hung at the door.
When Jiang Li returned to the Guogong Mansion, everyone was shocked.
Ji Hengguo really asked Ye Mingyu to move everyone to the Guogong Mansion. Jiang Li entered the courtyard and saw Ye Mingyu and Xiao Hong arguing. It is precisely because of these many people that it finally dilutes the desolate atmosphere of the Guogong Mansion. Xue Zhao first spotted Jiang Li and shouted, "Sister!"
Everyone found out that Jiang Li was back.
Situ Jiuyue also walked over, holding the mortar for pounding medicinal herbs in her hand. Everyone gathered around, and Xue Zhao said, "Sister, brother-in-law wrote a letter saying that you have come back these few days, and you really have come back these few days!"
Ye Mingyu didn't bother to correct Xue Zhao's wrong name. He just thought that this kid might want to befriend Jiang Li. He looked up and down Jiang Li: "How about it, Ari, isn't it hurt?"
Jiang Li shook his head, and Xue Huaiyuan said solemnly: "Ari, this time you are too impulsive. You shouldn't take risks with your body and save us by yourself. If something happens to you, how can we deal with it?"
His name was "Ari", and Ye Mingyu wondered how Xue Huaiyuan and Jiang Li got so close. But this is not the time to pursue this. Moreover, Xue Huaiyuan was right. He nodded in agreement: "Yes, Ali, what Yin Zhili really wants to do, we will play with him. You are a little girl, how can you let you? Come to save us?"
Jiang Li said: "Mr. Xue, A Zhao, uncle, cousin, Miss September, and Haitang, are you okay? Did Yin Zhili embarrass you... Ye family members were killed, and Haitang's fingers..."
Haitang shrank her hand slightly and said, "It's nothing. His face has been ruined before. One finger is nothing. They know that Jiang is soft, so they will do this, just to make Jiang care and mess up. Yes. I'm tired of Miss Jiang."
"Why say that, if it weren't for me, the Yin family would not kidnap you." Jiang Li replied, and asked: "What happened that day? I only know that Yin Zhili captured you, but I don't know what happened to you."
Ye Mingyu sighed and said: "The incident happened suddenly, and we didn't even expect..."
It turned out that Jiang Li went to Ye's house and found that the night before Ye's accident, someone sneaked into Ye Mansion and took Ye Mingyu and them all abducted. Those people are not the same as ordinary Jianghu assassins, they are like soldiers in the barracks, Ye Mingyu has followed the other side's way. When they woke up, they had already left the city gate, and they didn't know where it was, but they should not be far from the city of Yanjing. They listened to the voices of those people: "The King of the County." They guessed that the person behind it was Yin Zhan, and at that time, Haitang was dragged out and cut off a finger.
Xue Huaiyuan had to be smarter, and quickly guessed that these people kidnapped them, fearing that the purpose was not pure, but to threaten someone. It seems that Jiang Li is the only one who is closely related to the Xue family, father and son, and Ye family's uncle and nephew.
"Mr. Xue guessed that maybe they were going to use us to replace you, and wanted to stop it, but within a few days, we were knocked out and thrown at the gate of Yanjing City. Master Kong Liukong from the riding team found out. We brought us back." Ye Shijie explained.
When Jiang Li heard Kong Liu's name, he knew that Kong Liu's appearance was not accidental, but Ji Heng had arranged it in advance. Xue Zhao said, "Later, Master Kong came and said that it was brother-in-law who greeted him. Now Ye Mansion is not safe. Let us live in Guo Gong Mansion. Only then did we know that General Ji passed away."
Xue Zhao's voice was also a little sad, and Ye Shijie frowned and asked, "Cousin, what is going on? What the hell do Su Guo Gong and the Yin family have? The Yin family suddenly rebelled, have you already known something?"
Jiang Li and Ji Heng have a very close relationship. If Jiang Li knows nothing, I'm afraid it's impossible. But Jiang Li didn't want to show Ji Heng's past to others. It was too dark and cruel for Ji Heng. She didn't want others to look at Ji Heng with sympathy.
Xue Huaiyuan seemed to be able to understand what Jiang Li was thinking, and said: "Ms. Jiang is just a daughter's family. These matters are of great importance. Lord Su Guo may not tell her. The more you know, the more dangerous it will be. In order to protect her, Lord Su would not say much."
Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li and saw that Jiang Li didn't want to say more, he knew something in his heart. This cousin has always been stubborn about things she doesn't want to tell, and no one can shake her decision.
"I think it's better for my sister to go back to the house and take a rest." Xue Zhao looked at Jiang Li's face and said, "As for the future, it will be a long time, so it's not too late to speak slowly."
Xue Zhao is helping her out, and Xue Huaiyuan also said: "Yes, Master Jiang is also waiting for Ms. Jiang to go back in the house. Ms. Jiang is back, and Master Jiang can be at ease."
Although Ye Mingyu has something to ask Jiang Li, those things are not important. What he cares about is Jiang Li’s health and safety. Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao both said this. Jiang Li doesn’t seem to be in good spirits. Said: "That's also... Ali, then you should go back to the mansion to rest first. I will come to see you in the mansion tomorrow. There are guards in the mansion, so you don't have to worry about us. Although the man Su Guo... but he treats you, Not bad. I won't say anything."
Ye Mingyu has always felt that Ji Heng's appearance is too grand, which is not a good thing, and the rumors about Ji Heng are really not very good. But twice, Jiang Li was rescued by Ji Heng. Moreover, Ji Heng and their Ye family are not relatives, so why let them live in the Guogong Mansion. If it weren’t for Jiang Li’s sake, why Ji Heng was so proud of the merchants who had been shunned by the officials to live in his own house. Men know men best, and Ji Heng does this because he loves the house and Wu, and he has such a passion for Jiang Li, which is really rare. At least compared to the previous marriage between Jiang Li and Ningyuanhou Mansion, I don't know how many times better, and Ji Heng personally led the troops on the expedition, it can be seen that he is a true man, not just a beautiful little white face.
…
By the time he returned from Ye Mansion and returned to Jiang's house, it was already evening. Jiang Li returned to Yanjing City without notifying anyone in advance. When Ji Heng's escorts sent Jiang Li back to Jiang Mansion, the concierge was shocked when he saw that it was Jiang Li, and hurried to inform the old lady.
In the evening wind hall, it became crowded for a while.
As always, Lu's enthusiasm and shrewdness on weekdays showed a bit of real worry at the moment. She looked up and down Jiang Li and said, "Xiao Li, where did you go? You... Where did you come back from?" She looked confused. It was obvious that Jiang Yuanping had not told her about Jiang Li.
Mrs. Jiang was very calm. She only showed a little excitement about Jiang Li's sudden return, and she quickly went as usual. She didn't ask Jiang Li any more, only asked if Jiang Li was injured, and then she didn't ask anything. Jiang Li guessed that Mrs. Jiang knew something, not to mention the grievances between the Ji family and the Yin family. At least Mrs. Jiang should know where Jiang Li went these days and why he disappeared. Jiang Jingrui wanted to ask a few more questions, but was interrupted by Jiang Yuanbai. Jiang Yuanbai looked at Jiang Li and said, "You come with me."
He used these words every time, Jiang Li had long been used to it, and went back to the study with Jiang Yuanbai. Jiang Yuanbai asked: "Do you know that you did it too impulsively this time! You went out to be a bargaining chip for the Ye family? Where do you put the Jiang family?"
"Sorry, father," Jiang Li replied, "the matter was urgent at the time, I really didn't think so much."
"I'm afraid you will do this even if you think about it." Jiang Yuanbai snorted coldly, "You have been closer to the Ye family and Xue Huaiyuan father and son since then than to the Jiang family."
Jiang Li had nothing to say, and to be fair, Jiang Yuanbai was absolutely right. But people's hearts are grown in flesh, and Ye Mingyu treats her as if he were himself, and Xue Huaiyuan was originally her biological father and son. Everyone has close relatives. Even though Jiang Li is not a person who remembers to fight or not eat, the Jiang family sometimes does some things that are inevitably chilling. She won't hurt the Jiang family, but the Jiang family is the first thing to do, but she really can't do it. Maybe it's because she is selfish in her bones.
Seeing Jiang Li's appearance, Jiang Yuanbai was speechless. Jiang Li knew his mistake at all, but he didn't change it. This stubborn temperament didn't know who was going to follow. It's not like him anyway, much less like Ye Zhenzhen.
"I ask you, did Ji Heng tell you about the past relationship between the Ji family and the Yin family?"
Jiang Li's heart jumped, his face was as usual, with his eyebrows down, and answered: "No."
"Really?" Jiang Yuanbo looked at her suspiciously.
"real."
It is strange that Jiang Li always lied to Ji Heng, always showing his feet, and was very unnatural in his heart. But lying to Jiang Yuanbai was like a proficient, without thinking at all. Jiang Yuanbai sighed and said, "Finally, these are not important anymore."
His sigh was long, but Jiang Li heard some strange feelings from his words, and asked, "What happened to my father?"
"Yin Zhan's reaction is tantamount to setting me up on the fire. He walked close to me before and went to Jiang's house several times. He knew that he wanted to come to his majesty. Your majesty allowed him to do this with me. Reminder, it can be seen that I have made a plan a long time ago and have to deal with my Jiang family. Now there is no explanation, but it is because of the friendship between the monarchs and the ministers for many years, the grace of teachers and students has given me a face to the Jiang family, if I lick Don’t blame your majesty for being silly." He turned his head and shook his head and said, "Jiang family, you can't stay in the court anymore."
Jiang Li didn't speak, but she had already noticed the incident. Emperor Hong Xiao didn't have the purpose of keeping the Jiang family in the court at the beginning. In the past, when King Cheng was still there, it was still possible to keep the Jiang family. Now that King Cheng has disappeared, it will be useless to stay with the Jiang family. It wasn't because Jiang Yuanbai was rebellious or something, but because most of the civil servants in the court today were once Jiang Yuanbai's disciples. This is not a good thing for Emperor Hong Xiao.
The emperor's art was taught to Emperor Hong Xiao by Jiang Yuanbai, who was the Tai Fu. He should understand this better than anyone else, but unfortunately, the people in it will inevitably be confused by the situation in front of him. Official Jiang Yuanbo did too much and too smoothly. If he had to bear the pain of giving up his love, he would be more reluctant. What should have been done many years ago has been delayed for so many years.
The strength of the old man Jiang, now the Jiang family has not survived, so the Jiang family's fall will happen sooner or later. It is not a bad thing that Jiang Yuanbo can make up for it now. Properly cultivate descendants, such as Jiang Jingrui, Jiang Jingyou, and Jiang's family, there may not be time to flourish again.
It depends on the individual's choice.
"Xiao Li," Jiang Yuanbo said, "After I resigned, you will no longer be the daughter of the chief assistant. The relationship with Ji Heng..."
"Your Majesty Jinkou Yuyan, how can it be against the truth?" Jiang Li interrupted Jiang Yuanbai's unfinished words.
Jiang Yuanbai stared at her, as if he understood her thoughts for a moment, he slowly said, "It seems that you like him very much."
"Not bad." Jiang Li replied openly. She said, "I like it very much."
"What if he died on the battlefield?" Jiang Yuanbai frowned. "You know, he has never been on the battlefield, but Yin Zhili is Yin Zhan's son. He has learned a winning technique since he was a child. If he loses, the emperor's The gift of marriage can also be countless."
"Father is wrong." Jiang Li raised his eyes to Jiang Yuanbo. Her voice was clear and clear. For a moment, Jiang Yuanbai seemed to see that Jiang Li was taken back to Yanjing City from Qingcheng Mountain a year ago. After eight years, she appeared in front of her. Look in the eyes. Jiang Yuanbai was surprised at the determination between the daughter's eyebrows, and deep stubbornness was hidden in her tenderness. Her voice was also gentle, but it was like an oath, which was unshakable.
She said: "Ji Heng will die, but he won't lose. He comes back alive and I will marry. If he can't come back, I will tie my hair to keep him widowed for life. However," the corner of her mouth raised slightly, as if he was carrying it. A little smile, suddenly, Jiang Yuanbai had a flower in front of him, and only felt that Jiang Li, who was in this meeting, was very similar to Ji Heng's smile. She said, "He promised me that he will definitely return."
