Marriage of the Di Daughter

Jiang Li was woken up by Wen Renyao.

When she woke up, the people beside her who slept on the ground together last night, in twos and threes, almost all fell asleep. Wen Ji was gone, Zhao Ke was still there, Wen Renyao was still hugging Lin Yao, looked at her and said, Second Miss, are you awake?

What's going on? Jiang Li looked around and woke up completely. She asked, Is it over?

King Cheng's soldiers and horses have retreated for the time being, and everyone has gone home. Wen Renyao said, I will not come again today. According to Ah Heng's prediction, as long as he guards 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 break the siege.

Jiang Li heard the words and said: When General Wuwei comes, only General Pingrong can be used. It is impossible for General Pingrong to leave the station. Could it be that King Xia is coming back?

Could be nine out of ten. Wen Renyao stood up as he said, because he was holding a child in his arms and sat on the ground for another night, he almost lost his footing and staggered. Jiang Li also stood up, Zhao Ke said: Second Miss, let's go back first.

Although Jiang Li didn't know where they said go back, she nodded.

Along the way, the streets were in a mess. Even though Jiang Li was kidnapped forcibly when she first came to Huangzhou, she still remembered that although Huangzhou City was not as prosperous as Yanjing City, it was still lively and beautiful. Now that the city was devastated by the fire last night, only charred black remains, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. There were also dried blood and corpses on the ground. Some people are kneeling in front of the dead bodies of their family members and weeping in pain, while some are dragging their tired bodies and starting to put the ruined home back together.

As long as it is not completely burned, it must be salvaged, and it is impossible to sleep on the street for the next few days. Those who could not be saved were directly burned to ashes in front of the door, and the owner of the house sat at the door and cried loudly. These cries reached people's ears, which made people feel sad. Overnight, many families were separated from their wives. These people lived a good life in Huangzhou City on weekdays. Who would have thought that this natural disaster and man-made disaster would suddenly befall them.

Jiang Li walked all the way, sighing and sighing all the way. When she reached the gate of the Huangzhou city government office, she saw a few rows of men in black lying neatly in front of the gate of two stone lions. These men in black were all dead, but there were no wounds on their faces, and there were no redundant wounds on their bodies. They were all killed with one knife. Some mouths ooze foul blood.

Jiang Li asked: Are these the people who came out to prevent fire last night, the people that King Cheng arranged for in Huangzhou City?

Zhao Ke said: Yes. My lord has sent people to search for their whereabouts. These people are all dead men, and they can't find out anything. If they are caught, they will be killed. That's all they have found, but there is no guarantee that there will be no evil left in the city, so the second lady Be sure to pay attention to safety.

Jiang Li nodded: I know.

Zhao Ke took Jiang Li and Wen Renyao to continue walking, and at the end of the road, a house finally appeared. This house was also probably burned, but the fire was quickly extinguished, so except for the scorched black on the door frame, the rest of the place is still intact. Zhao Ke took Jiang Li and two people in, and Wen Ji was already inside. When he walked to the hall, he saw Lu Ji. Lu Ji may have stayed up all night, his expression could not hide his exhaustion, and the neat beard he had trimmed himself became a bit messy at the moment. Seeing Jiang and Li, he said, You are back.

Lu Ji, why do you look so tired? Wen Renyao said, Take a rest when you're tired, don't hold on.

Just as Lu Ji was about to say something, her eyes fell on Lin Yao who was in Wen Renyao's arms. Seeing Lu Ji looking at her, Lin Yao turned her head and buried her head in Wen Renyao's arms. This boy is delicate and cute, even his character is timid and shy like a girl, and he has just experienced a great change in his family, so he is very distrustful of others.

Where did this come from? Lu Ji asked.

Miss Jiang Er was rescued from the assassin last night. Her parents, siblings and family are gone, and he escaped alone. Looking at him like this, he is very suitable for our Xianxianmen. Don't accept him as an apprentice.

Being an apprentice? Jiang Li didn't know Wen Renyao's idea, and asked in surprise, What does it mean to be suitable for the 'Xianxianmen'?

Wen Renyao was calm: People like us, if we reveal the secrets of heaven and tamper with the fate of others, we are going against fate. Of course God doesn't allow it, so people like us are born to be the lone stars of heavenly evil. Cough cough, of course, This is just a meaning. The disciples of the Spiritual Immortal Gate probably experienced great changes in their families when they were young, and their parents, wives, and children 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 taken an apprentice. It is because most of those whose family members have died are too old. Even some young people want to avenge their families. They drove me away. This little guy is not bad, he is much younger than me, and the enemies of his parents and family have been resolved, there is nothing to worry about in the world, he is the most suitable to come to our sect and be my apprentice.

He said a lot in eloquence, which made Jiang Li dumbfounded. She said why Wen Renyao was always staring at Lin Yao before, thinking that Wen Renyao was a curious child. Unexpectedly, it was this idea, Jiang Li said: No matter what, even if Mr. Wenren wants to accept apprentices, it's better to ask Lin Yao's idea. This is his business after all.

Naturally, naturally. Wen Renyao replied, but he didn't seem to take Jiang Li's words to heart at all. Jiang Li sighed and didn't say much to him. Now at this time, I really don't have the mind to take care of these things. It's better to appease Xiao Linyao first, and we'll talk about the future.

Lu Ji said to Jiang Li: Your Excellency is in the room.

Jiang Li looked at him, and Lu Ji replied: Second Miss, if you have something to say, you can go to the house and find an adult. He stood up: I'll go to rest for two hours first, Wenren, you guard the door. Zhao Ke and Wen Ji were also tired all night, let's get some rest. After saying that, he turned around and went to another room, closing the door.

Wen Renyao shrugged, and said to Jiang Li: I'll take this kid back to the room first.

Jiang Li stood in front of Ji Heng's house door, hesitated for a moment, and pushed the door open.

The people in the room sat at the table.

After the night attack last night, it started to rain in the morning, the rain continued, the sky became gloomy, and the morning in the house was like evening. When Jiang Li walked in, she could only see a figure from her back. When she got 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 today was not easy. Although Jiang Li didn't see it with his own eyes, the frenzied King Cheng had prepared for last night for a long time, and those who wanted to keep it must have made huge sacrifices.

Jiang Li's eyes fell on Ji Heng again, probably for convenience, but he didn't wear red clothes, but black armor. This made his normally seductive aura fade away a little, and he became cold and sullen. However, when he laughed, it was meaningless again, as indifferent as an outsider.

With the black clothes, it was impossible to tell whether he was injured or not, even if there were bloodstains, it was impossible to tell. Jiang Li asked: Are you... all right?

Of course. Ji Heng said, I heard that you saved a child?

Yes, the child's family members are all dead.

Jiang Yuanbai will die of anger. Ji Heng raised his eyebrows, He is as cunning as a fox, but he raised a daughter who loves everyone in the world.

It's not about caring for people in the world. Jiang Li said lightly, I just think of 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, and 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 such a pair of siblings. It can be imagined that the sister and brother have a deep affection, and Xue Fangfei's blow after Xue Zhao's death is great.

Then you can keep him. Ji Heng said, You can let him follow Xue Huaiyuan.

Lin Yao lost his parents, and Xue Huaiyuan lost his son, so they could be a companion.

Jiang Li smiled slightly, Ji Heng thought about the long term. She looked at Jiheng again and asked, Will King Cheng continue to attack the city? When he gets the news that General Wuwei is coming, he will go to Yanjing immediately.

Of course. Ji Heng said: All the way from Huangzhou to Yanjing, all the soldiers and horses of King Cheng are hidden. When he kills Yanjing, the soldiers and horses are strong and unstoppable. Even standing there is enough to make Yanjing go. The hearts of the people in Beijing are in turmoil.

But isn't Xiajun King coming? Jiang Li said: Your Majesty has no choice but to recall Xiajun King. When His Majesty was not enthroned, Xiajun King went to the northwest. For so many years, for Xiajun King, His Majesty probably I don’t have any other thoughts, and I won’t be wary.”

Ji Heng turned his head and looked at Jiang Li quietly. His amber eyes were dim and bright in the bright and dark light, without the sentimentality of acting on the spot, and there were more things that Jiang Li couldn't understand.

Master Guo, Jiang Li said after being silent for a while, The one you really want is the Duke of Xia, right?

Ji Heng didn't answer.

Jiang Li said to herself: I didn't know why the late emperor expelled King Xia to the Northwest, but King Xia stayed in the Northwest for many years. His Majesty has no reason to recall him, unless King Cheng makes trouble, and when King Cheng If something happens, King Xia will return to Beijing. All this is because of the three-point situation created by the Duke of Guo's painstaking efforts. Otherwise, if any side falls first, the timing of King Xia's appearance will be wrong. Perhaps King Xia will return to Beijing sooner or later, maybe not now, but in the future. The reason why the Duke chose such an opportunity is because this timing is not perfect for King Xia.

But there is still one thing I don't understand, 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 in an open and honest manner. I don't know why... She lowered her head and said: It reminds me of the Xue family and Princess Yongning. I tried my best to avenge the Xue family and draw Princess Yongning into the eyes of the world, because only in this way can Xue Fangfei's death be seen again. I It is to reverse the case for Xue Fangfei, and you, what is it for?

Her voice was clear and gentle, and she spoke slowly, as if she was telling a gentle story to others. The dim light outside shone on her side face, and the red spots on the girl's face were also blurred, revealing a delicate outline.

The young man laughed in a low voice, his voice was still meaningless, and he said: Just based on what you said just now, you can die.

Jiang Li said: Of course I know.

Then you still ask?

I hope I can help.

Ji Heng wasn't 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 didn't answer Jiang Li's question, but he didn't deny Jiang Li's guess either. Jiang Li had already slept and was not sleepy, so she just sat beside Ji Heng in a daze.

From a distance, it looks like they are guarding him.
