The remnants of the Jiang family were wiped out, dead and dead, and none of them escaped.
Jiang Ling, who was temporarily elected as the leader, knelt down spinelessly when someone put a knife around his neck, begging for mercy with snot and tears.
Then his head was covered with a black cloth, and he was taken away from the chaotic venue and brought into a quiet carriage.
Jiang Ling was terrified, crying, "Don't kill me, I was forced to join them, I have no intention of treason—"
Suddenly there was a low laugh from beside him, Jiang Ling was terrified, couldn't help shivering, and cried loudly.
"A majestic seven-foot man, what are you talking about crying like this." There was a little helplessness in the man's voice.
Jiang Ling suppressed his crying, but still couldn't stop shaking, "You, who are you?"
Then someone tore off the black cloth covering his head, Jiang Yan opened his teary eyes, and after a closer look, he found that the fifth prince Cheng Xin was sitting in front of him.
Now he is even more afraid. When he was in the academy, he and Chi Jingxi and his gang did not deal with it. Now that it is in his hands, isn't it at the mercy of others
Jiang Ling took a few steps back and begged for mercy, "Earlier, Wen Yantong used the young master as a guarantee, saying that if I am willing to be an internal response, I will be spared a way out..."
Cheng Xin has always been a smiling fox, and he never shows his emotions easily, even if there is contempt and contempt, it is hidden in his smile. Seeing that he is terrified now, like a little rabbit, he can't help being teased thoughts.
"That was guaranteed by the young master, what does it have to do with me?" Cheng Xin asked with a smile.
"W-what?!" Jiang Ling's eyes widened in shock, "But, Wen Yantong said..."
"That's an agreement between you and them, and I have no obligation to fulfill the agreement for them." Cheng Xin said indifferently.
Jiang Ling said, "Aren't you and Young Master..."
"In the royal family, there are no true friends." Cheng Xin said, "It's all fake."
Jiang Ling really believed it, and thinking about Wen Yantong's face changing quickly, and his identity changing again and again within a few days, he broke down and cried, "You people, can't you just live a simple life?" ?”
Cheng Xin couldn't help laughing, "How can you believe anything?"
Jiang Ling was stunned, his mind kept thinking, can this sentence be believed
Cheng Xin laughed enough, and said, "Dan Li said earlier that he would spare your life, and he has already sent me a letter, but I can't let you go yet."
Jiang Ling's joy hadn't shown yet, and he said with a stiff expression, "What do you want to do?"
"Your father hid a large number of military weapons under the Nian'an Temple. You should know about this." Cheng Xin leaned back, her posture was a little casual, her pretty eyes glanced at Jiang Ling's tearful eyes, although her face was careless, but In fact, he was observing the emotions hidden under his brows and eyes.
If Jiang Ling is lying, he can see it immediately.
This is a secret technique that Cheng Xin, who grew up in the royal family, knew since childhood.
Jiang Ling was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "I know."
Cheng Xin said, "Then do you know where those things come from?"
Jiang Ling thought about it carefully, and it seemed a bit difficult to say, "I bought it with silver."
Cheng Xin turned his eyes calmly and said, "Last March, you threw ten thousand taels of gold at Hualou to redeem the body of an oiran, and in July of the same year, you gave a thousand gold to redeem the body of the oiran's younger sister. Are you here to buy weapons?"
Jiang Ling poked his neck and nodded, "That's right, that Hualou is actually under the name of Jiang's family, and the oirans who were redeemed were all internal agents arranged by my father, all the gold was used to buy things, and I didn't get a half of it. "
"Then is it true or not that you were beaten for half a month and couldn't get out of bed?" Cheng Xin raised her eyebrows lightly.
Jiang Ling lowered his eyes, "This matter is true, my father said that the acting must be complete, and it must be true."
Thinking that they had all passed the tiger's head anyway, it was impossible to crawl out of the ground to find him, so they all sold off.
Cheng Xin swept his slightly thin body up and down. When he ran into him in the academy, he could tell that this man was a paper tiger.
On the surface, he is extremely fierce, like a dandy with teeth and claws, but the fear in his expression can always be seen by Cheng Xin at a glance.
The real villain in the Jiang family is Jiang Ling's father, and the real dude is Jiang Ling's elder brother.
"Where did those things come from?" Cheng Xin asked again.
Jiang Ling shook his head, "I don't know."
Cheng Xin said, "You must know, think about it carefully."
Jiang Ling raised his head in surprise and glanced at him. This was the second time Jiang Ling saw him after he got into the carriage. Cheng Xin was lazily leaning on the cushion, although there was no sharp look on his face, it made people breathless.
Cheng Xin braced her chin and recalled carefully, "Let's think about it... your father asked the court for two months' leave in April of the previous year, saying that he had broken a bone and wanted to go back to his hometown to recuperate."
Following Cheng Xin's words, Jiang Ling slowly recalled that there was indeed a period of time when his father was not in the mansion.
"Where did he go at that time?" Cheng Xin asked.
Jiang Ling shook his head, and was about to speak, but saw Cheng Xin's eyes were slightly cold, and cut off his words, "You think it over for me."
Jiang Ling had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, racking his brains to recall.
It was already two years ago, and Jiang Ling didn't pay much attention at that time. He was unhappy at home most of the time, so he was not very willing to go out in the mansion.
Because his father was not in the mansion, the mansion was deserted and quiet for a long time, which made Jiang Ling feel comfortable for a while, so even today, he still has some impressions.
Jiang Ling suddenly remembered something, and said hastily, "I remember that when my father came back, one of the accompanying guards brought his wife a colorful doll, a very small one, I've never heard of it before, I guess it’s a specialty of that place.”
Cheng Xin paused after hearing this, and immediately thought, "Pray for me?"
"Yes, yes, it seems to be the name." Jiang Ling said, "I heard it by accident. I thought I would buy one myself in the future, but after some inquiries, no one around me has heard of this thing."
Cheng Xin couldn't help laughing, as if she had figured something out, she shook her head while laughing, "I finally figured it out, it's really hard work."
Jiang Ling did not dare to ask, fearing that he would not be able to leave if he knew too much, so he just lowered his head and waited for Cheng Xin to finish the question.
Cheng Xin said, "Aren't you curious about what a wish is?"
Jiang Ling hurriedly shook his head.
Cheng Xin laughed again, "Go to Yibei."
Jiang Ling raised his head in a daze, thought about Xia Yibei in his mind, and asked in surprise, "So far?"
Yibei is far away from Chaoge, almost half of Shaojing, and close to the northern border.
Cheng Xin said, "With your current identity, the farther you go, the better. If someone finds you, no one will be able to save you."
Jiang Ling didn't say anything. Although he didn't want to go that far, there was indeed no way out for staying in Chaoge. Recently, Chaoge's city gates were strictly guarded, and he had to be interrogated when entering and leaving. He pretended to be a woman just because he wanted to leave Chaoge, but he didn't expect It happened to hit the hands of Chi Jingxi and the others.
But going to Yibei, it was so far away, he was not familiar with the place, and he knew nothing, maybe it would be difficult to survive in that place.
"Could it be... a little closer?" Jiang Ling plucked up the courage to bargain.
Cheng Xin said, "Don't worry, I will arrange it for you in Yibei, give you a shop and give you food and clothing. If you have any difficulties, send a letter and I will help you."
There was some surprise in Jiang Ling's eyes, "Really?"
Cheng Xin said, "What I say, of course I take it seriously."
Jiang Ling wept with joy, "Thank you, Your Highness, for letting me live."
Cheng Xin looked at him, a trace of pity finally appeared in his eyes.
After Jiang Ling met Cheng Xin that night, he was sent on the road to Yibei overnight, without taking anything, and left Chaoge City where he grew up and lived for more than ten years.
Wen Yantong was a little frightened by this incident, went down the mountain overnight, developed a high fever on the way, and when sent back to Wen's house, both Mu Yang and Fu Zixian were a little worried and refused to leave.
Chi Jingxi didn't care about other things, and directly carried Wen Yantong from the gate into the bedroom in the backyard, letting Mu Yang and Fu Zixian leave first.
Since Mu Yang heard that Yantong and Fu Zixian were arrested, he hasn't slept well, his eyes are full of red blood, which looks like the red eyes of a rabbit.
Fu Zixian's body is also weak, and his face is not good.
Chi Jingxi said that she would take good care of Wen Yantong, and forced them to go back to their respective houses to have a good rest.
After the doctor came, he took Wen Yantong's pulse first, and then said that it was just a common cold and fever, and he could take medicine to reduce the fever.
Only then did Chi Jingxi feel relieved, and ordered someone to boil the medicine. He took off his bloody clothes and asked someone to boil hot water to clean his body.
Let's say that when Chi Jingxi came to Wenzhai at the end of the new year, after rectifying the servants of Wenzhai, he seemed to be the real owner of Wenzhai. On weekdays, when I heard that Yantong was around, the servants were all happy and there were no rules. But when Chi Jingxi came, he didn't dare to show any atmosphere, didn't dare to raise his head, and stood up straight.
When Chi Jingxi gave an order, they hurriedly executed it, and if they were a little slower, they would tremble with fright.
There are only a group of servants in Wen's house who are looking forward to Wen Yantong's recovery than Chi Jingxi.
Because of Wen Yantong's fever, he just felt uncomfortable all over, and he was very cold, and the pain in his head was unbearable.
Chi Jingxi changed into clean clothes and walked to Wen Yantong's bed with a bowl while her hair was still dripping. Seeing that Yantong closed her eyes and frowned, looking uncomfortable, she couldn't help but feel distressed.
He squatted down along the head of the bed, and lightly touched Wen Yantong's cheek with the back of his hand, it was terribly hot.
"Tongtong..." Chi Jingxi called out in a low voice.
As soon as his voice fell, Wen Yantong slowly opened his eyes. She didn't actually sleep, she just felt very uncomfortable and her consciousness was drifting.
Two long floor lamps were burning in the room, glowing with warm yellow light, gilding Chi Jingxi's handsome outline with light.
Wen Yantong's voice was a little hoarse, "Did you call me?"
Chi Jingxi nodded lightly, "Get up and drink the medicine, and you won't feel uncomfortable after drinking the medicine."
"It's been a long time since no one called me Tongtong." Wen Yantong looked at him and said.
Chi Jingxi looked at her softly, "Your father called me last time."
"Oh, yes." Wen Yantong suddenly remembered, paused, "I forgot."
Chi Jingxi's tone was gentle, "You're burnt out, get up and drink your medicine."
Wen Yantong supported his body, then Chi Jingxi sat up slowly with his strength, took the medicine bowl in Chi Jingxi's hand, hesitated for a while, and asked seriously, "Can I not drink?"
Chi Jingxi saw that she was so burnt that her speech was a little slow, and she answered seriously, "If you don't drink, your pig's brain will be burnt out."
Wen Yantong thought for a while, and nodded in agreement, "You're right."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, and then said, "But I don't want to drink."
