Chapter 114 Mine

"My lord, after watching the play for so long, can we come out and get together?"

The clear voice echoed in the woods at night, the moon was low, almost lying on the branches of the trees, illuminating Jiang Li's delicate face.

Her eyes were clear and clear, not only did she not have the panic when she was at the end of the road, but she was stretched and transparent, as if she had a plan in her chest.

The people in black looked at her, and the leader said with a smile: "Second Miss, why bother to pretend to be mysterious..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a chuckle from the depths of the woods, and a crimson figure gradually stepped out from the darkness. Under the moonlight, the darker it was, the more gorgeous his red clothes were. The moonlight fell on the black gold butterflies embroidered on the corners of his robes. Those butterflies seemed to be about to fly, and at this moment they looked extremely coquettish.

Ji Heng came out of the night unhurriedly, holding a gold silk folding fan, with a smile on his lips, and said: "Nothing can be hidden from you."

Looking at him, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Heng often likes to send people to watch him. There is nothing in Tongxiang that he doesn't know. I believe that Feng Yutang's people and Ji Shuran's people came to surround and kill him, which is also under Ji Heng's control. This person loves watching theater the most, and Ji Heng will never miss such a wonderful theater.

Whether Ji Heng himself came to stare at him, or Ji Heng's subordinates stared at him, Jiang Li believed that they would not let her out of their sight. After Ji Shuran's men came out halfway, when she had no way out and could not escape, she suddenly thought that the person who followed her silently all the way might be able to protect her life here.

Even if you can't keep it, it's better to stay to distract the other party's attention.

Fortunately, there was indeed someone following behind him, and even luckier, it was Ji Heng who followed him himself.

With Ji Heng around, Jiang Li felt more at ease. This is actually a very strange idea, Ji Heng is not her friend, until now, this is a mysterious man. But Jiang Li had dealt with Ji Heng several times, and Ji Heng didn't mean to hurt her. Of course, Jiang Li didn't think it was Ji Heng's sympathy for her, maybe there was something about her that Ji Heng could use.

It is better to be useful than nothing, as long as Ji Heng is here, she can be completely sure that she will not die in today's battle. Not to mention Ji Heng's skilled guards, that is, the beautiful gold wire folding fan in his hand, Jiang Li has also seen the power of it.

He is not a person who sits and waits to die, but is full of killer moves. If anyone looks down on him because of his beauty, he will be severely slapped in the face by danger.

Ji Heng's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the killers invited by Ji Shuran. Some of them pointed their swords at Ji Heng.

These killers didn't miss Jiang Li's phrase "Grandfather of the State". However, Ji Heng's appearance was too grand and flirtatious, and when he suddenly appeared in the dark woods alone, he was like a spirit in the forest, with a danger of beauty. Perhaps it was because killers have an instinct for danger, so the leader in black asked Ji Heng, "Who are you?"

Ji Heng ignored them, looked at Jiang Li with a smile, and said, "Second Miss' acting skills are getting better and better."

"The play is not exciting, how can I attract adults to watch it." Jiang Li glanced at the black-clothed leader, and smiled even wider: "My lord, they are pointing swords at you."

A person like Ji Heng has a smile on his face, but he is actually very cruel and ruthless, with an arrogant temperament. Someone pointing a sword at him may be an insult to Ji Heng.

The leader in black caught a glimpse of Ji Heng's eyes, and inexplicably wanted to take a step back, and the fingers holding the sword curled up unconsciously, feeling very inappropriate.

Ji Heng didn't care, just looked at Jiang Li with a smile: "Second Miss, why bother to cause trouble, as I said, I won't be in the show."

"Could it be that the Duke of the country has watched so many of my plays for nothing? If I die here today, the Duke of the country will never see my plays again, and he will not feel a little regret in his heart?" She raised her head and asked. .

The girl's face was clean, white and tender, and her bright and beautiful eyes seemed to contain infinite prayers. When she speaks in a gentle and pitiful tone, the gods can't help but love her.

However, Ji Heng is not a god, he is a devil even colder than a god.

He just looked at Jiang Li with a smile and said, "It's a pity, but I won't be in the show."

Jiang Li's begging look disappeared in an instant. It's unimaginable that she was able to withdraw from the touching mood just now so quickly.

Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng with a hint of annoyance in her heart. When she was Xue Fangfei in her previous life, she had a beautiful face, although she didn't think it was a big deal. But most of the time when I was outside, because of that good-looking appearance, it was almost smooth sailing. When there is a conflict with someone, if the other party looks at her face, they will not chase after her.

A beauty only needs to act coquettishly, and everything can be easily grasped. She didn't like to use this method, so Xue Zhao always said that she wasted such a good skin for nothing, and she didn't get the reputation of being a witch who brought disaster to the country and the people.

Now she is inferior to others, and she has to put on a pitiful and cute look every time she plays, but not only is the other party's heart too hard, but Miss Jiang Er's skin is not so beautiful, she didn't impress the other party at all. Instead, he got such a sober answer.

Really frustrating.

Ji Heng still looked at her with a smile on his face, and he said it lightly, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with his reluctance to save her. Under the pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes, the bright red mole of tears also has infinite style, slowly enveloping the seductive scenery at night.

But the black-clothed leader seemed to have come to his senses at this moment. He first said to Ji Heng: "Since your Excellency has no conflict with us, then the matter will be easy." Looking at Jiang Li again, he said: "Second miss, your reinforcement doesn't seem to be going to help you, so we won't waste time, come on!" After finishing speaking, I don't know if I was afraid that Ji Heng's appearance would cause nights to be full of dreams, so I rushed straight to Jiang Li, flashing The sword tip glowing with silver light brought a murderous look in the night, and the fierce leaves fluttered and fell down!

Jiang Li saw that the matter had not changed, but the people around her were still watching from the sidelines, so she became cruel and said loudly without hesitation: "Master, I know why you want to get involved with King Youxiangcheng. Now that the imperial court is divided among the three parties, although His Majesty is in decline, he is not a thing in the pond. He is only suspicious by nature. If you want His Majesty to trust you alone, you have to support King Cheng to stand up. There are wolves in front and tigers in back. Your Majesty must rely on you in desperation You, you can be the number one courtier, this three-point situation in the court is caused by you alone!"

What Jiang Li said was so fast and anxious that the man in black who was about to assassinate was taken aback for a moment. What is becoming a king, what is a right-hand man, what is this and what is it?

The smile on Ji Heng's lips seemed to freeze into ice in an instant.

As soon as Jiang Li's words fell, a sword tip appeared in front of her eyes, and someone behind her stabbed at her with a sword.

Just at this moment, a slender hand suddenly stretched out, held her shoulder and pushed it gently to the side. The next moment, a peony bloomed brightly, and Ji Heng opened his fan.

The front end of the fan suddenly seemed to be a sharp blade, Jiang Li could only see the fan swinging back and forth, between the opening and closing, the golden thread on the peony petals flashed tiny glimmers , but in an instant, there was a loud "boom", and the two men in black who were besieging and killing Jiang Li fell to the ground, with surprised expressions on their faces, as if at the last moment of their lives, they both fell to the ground. Still confused about the cause of his death.

The surrounding men in black were momentarily startled by the formation here.

No one even fully saw how Ji Heng made the move. Ji Heng's movements were too fast, and Jiang Li stared straight at Ji Heng's fan. She saw the power of the fan again, or maybe it wasn't that the fan was too scary, but that the man in front of her was really scary.

"Brothers, don't worry, let's go together!" The black-clothed leader gritted his teeth, and suddenly called the people behind him to come together!

Jiang Li barely escaped, but he saw murderous intent in all directions. Without even thinking about it, he immediately grabbed the corner of Ji Heng's clothes. Ji Heng is dangerous, but an enemy's enemy is a friend, and the only one who can protect her for a while is Ji Heng!

Ji Heng glanced at her coldly, but before he could speak, the men in black in front of him had already rushed over. There was a sneer at the corner of his lips, the fan in his hand was fully unfolded, and Jiang Li was picked up by the collar of Jiang Li's neck with one hand, and Jiang Li quickly retreated. He moved so fast that it was hard to see clearly, only the black butterfly fluttering on the corner of his robe could be seen clearly, carrying a strong and strange charm.

Under the night, he was extremely fast, and the fan in his hand was like some kind of terrible weapon. When pitching, opening and closing, a large piece of blood bloomed, like peach blossoms in May, and the tiny brilliance flashed on the fan, Chills down the spine.

One after another, screams sounded in the forest. At this moment, this place is like hell on earth.

Jiang Li subconsciously leaned towards Ji Heng, but felt that his robe was cold, as if he was not human, without a trace of warmth.

After an unknown amount of time, the screams outside disappeared. Ji Heng's movements also stopped.

Ji Heng's mocking voice sounded from above: "Second Miss Jiang, the place has been cleaned up."

Jiang Li slowly let go of her hand, raised her head, and looked around.

Under the moonlight, the corpses of men in black were scattered all over the place, and the ground was covered with blood, like the purgatory on earth painted on the murals in the temple.

Ji Heng killed a dozen people by himself, and it seemed that only a quarter of an hour had passed.

Jiang Li turned to look at Ji Heng.

The moon slowly climbed up the branches again, as if the situation in front of me was not scary enough, the moonlight was extraordinarily bright, the pure moonlight and the blood stains all over the ground, people couldn't tell whether it was a nightmare or reality.

And Ji Heng was standing in the blood stains, his robe was bright red, making one wonder if the red color was stained with the blood on the ground. But he was holding the folding fan, as if he didn't feel how uncomfortable all this was, he just looked at Jiang Li and said, "Second Miss Jiang, shouldn't I thank you?"

Jiang Li was speechless.

The next moment, the fan suddenly touched Jiang Li's throat, Ji Heng did not approach, and he even kept a certain distance from Jiang Li, but his expression was unusually cold. From the time he met Ji Heng to now, he was always smiling and lazy, even though he knew it was his disguise. But when the poisonous beast really showed its minions, anyone would feel chilled.

Ginger pears will also feel terrible.

"Miss Jiang Er, I've said it before. I don't like to be in the drama. Why did you drag me into the game?" His voice was very soft, like a lingering whisper between lovers, but there was an inexplicable coldness in it. Climb up a person's spine and send chills down their backs.

"No way," Jiang Li looked straight into his eyes, her voice was a little soft, as if she was genuinely sorry, and she said, "I don't want to die."

Just now, she could clearly feel that Ji Heng really didn't intend to make a move, and just planned to sit on the sidelines. But she must not let this happen, if Ji Heng didn't do anything, she would have to die here. Her father is still in prison, and the truth of Xue Zhao's death has not been revealed yet. She cannot die here, at least not now. So she has to act.

So she could only tell the secret that she had glimpsed long ago.

I don't know when it started, but one day when she was thinking about the relationship between Ji Heng, King Cheng, the emperor and Jiang Yuanbai, she suddenly realized that there was nothing special, it was just a sudden understanding.

Today's imperial court is divided into three parts, King Cheng, Jiang Yuanbai and Hong Xiaodi. But King Cheng was not as stable as he is now before he joined forces with the right minister. At that time, the imperial court could only be counted as two factions. Jiang Yuanbai and Emperor Hong Xiao had a teacher-student friendship. If Jiang Yuanbai did not have the intention of treason, Emperor Hong Xiao would not have too much fear.

But then King Cheng suddenly joined forces with the right minister, and the balance of the court was broken. King Cheng's forces were sowing discord between Jiang Yuanbai and Emperor Hong Xiao. The friendship between teachers and students was still there, but the trust was gone. Jiang Li believes that if the Jiang family really has evidence of treason one day, Emperor Hong Xiao will also put Jiang Yuanbai in prison without hesitation.

It is impossible for Emperor Hong Xiao to join hands with Jiang Yuanbai, but Emperor Hong Xiao's power is gradually weakening, but Jiang Li has felt from the last time that Emperor Hong Xiao, whose birth mother Xia Guifei passed away early, is not as easy to manipulate as it appears on the surface. Perhaps Ji Heng saw Emperor Hong Xiao's ambition and decided to side with Emperor Hong Xiao.

There is a kind of person in the world who does things the best, and just becoming one of Emperor Hong Xiao's courtiers is obviously not what Ji Heng wants. The situation Ji Heng hoped for was to become Emperor Hong Xiao's confidant and the most trusted person of Emperor Hong Xiao. Although he didn't know why, Jiang Li was sure that Ji Heng supported Cheng Wang for this purpose. .

That is to say, from the very beginning, Ji Heng tried to support King Cheng, and let King Cheng and the right minister join forces to become a threat to the Jiang family. Cheng Wang provoked, Hong Xiaodi and Jiang Yuanbai separated, so the entire court became the three points that Ji Heng hoped for. The isolated Emperor Hong Xiao chose to trust Ji Heng and let Ji Heng become his confidant.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li also felt a little terrified. Ji Heng planned, and I'm afraid no one will believe it if he tells it. After all, it requires a long-term vision, precise planning, and the courage to be afraid of nothing. But he did it, and he did it.

When Jiang Li got a glimpse of this secret, she knew that she must keep this secret in her heart forever and never say it out loud. She knew what Ji Heng was up to, but she didn't mention it when confronting Ji Heng, because she knew that once Ji Heng knew that her secret had been peeped at, the first thing to do was to silence her.

Sickness enters through the mouth and misfortune comes out from the mouth. Choose food without disease and choose words without misfortune. This was Jiang Li's idea, but it's not as good as the sky. She didn't expect to be cornered tonight. Ji Heng was by her side, but she didn't intend to make a move. So she could only borrow a knife to kill someone.

She revealed Ji Heng's secret to the public in front of those killers. Ji Heng would never allow anyone who knew his secret to live in the world, and those killers were destined to be wiped out.

"Miss Jiang Er, you have to know," he said slowly, "Silence will never be left alive."

He could kill those killers, and he could kill her too. First, she knew Ji Heng's secret, and second, she actually used Ji Heng's secret to plot against Ji Heng. These two crimes alone were enough to give her no reason to live.

The fan was icy and cold, pressing against the fragile neck, and his eyes lingered on Jiang Li's neck, as if there was a trace of lingering lust, but upon closer inspection, it was full of indifferent cruelty. The fan approached inch by inch, the feeling of death was so clear, Jiang Li heard the sound of her heartbeat, but her voice was very calm.

"Master, I don't want to die, otherwise I wouldn't have said those words." She said.

"Give me a reason why you don't have to die." Ji Heng looked at him.

"If the Duke wants to be trusted by His Majesty, it is bound to be a struggle between King Cheng and the Jiang family. Supporting King Cheng is not the purpose, but for a better solution." Jiang Li said: "I can make it impossible for the Jiang family and King Cheng to recover. , can wear down the power of becoming a king."

Ji Heng laughed: "How do you do it?"

"In the case of the Xue family, Feng Yutang is just a cover, and the person behind it is Yongning." Jiang Li lowered her eyes. Ji Heng probably knew that this case was related to Yongning, so she didn't have to hide anything, and continued: "I want to deal with Xue's case." The family case, sooner or later they will face Yongning, and King Cheng will never end. No matter what my father thinks of me, my surname is Jiang, King Cheng will settle this account on the Jiang family. King Cheng and the Jiang family have become rivals. I am the Jiang family, and I will help the Jiang family deal with King Cheng."

"How do you deal with King Cheng?" Ji Heng said, "You are only fifteen years old now."

Jiang Li only said four words: "Unscrupulous."

Ji Heng was silent for a while, and said: "Whether it's Jiang's family or Chengwang, they won't be able to stay in the end."

This was something that Jiang Li had guessed before. Ji Heng supported King Cheng and provoked the Jiang family in order for King Cheng and the Jiang family to fight each other and kill each other, so that Emperor Hong Xiao's power would grow. She wholeheartedly dealt with King Cheng, but the Jiang family was also in danger.

In all fairness, although she is not the real Second Miss Jiang, she has accomplished many things with the help of Jiang Yuanbai's reputation. Except for Ji Shuran's mother and daughter and Jiang Yu'e, the Jiang family didn't have fun with her, but they didn't do her harm either. If the Jiang family really collapsed, there would be no eggs under the overturned nest, and she would have no chance of survival.

She had to take revenge on Yongning and Shen Yurong while keeping the Jiang family safe.

"Grandpa, I don't know what your final goal is, but if the Jiang family is down, sooner or later there will be a second Jiang family." Jiang Li said softly: "Keep the Jiang family, in case the Jiang family becomes yours in the future." Where's your reinforcements?"

Her bitterness did not impress Ji Heng, and Ji Heng smiled: "I don't need help, and I don't need reinforcements."

Jiang Li: "..."

But she felt normal instead, because it was really hard to imagine Ji Heng having friends and a warm scene with his family. It is unbelievable to think about the scene where a poisonous snake lives with a group of Mianyang.

"You haven't convinced me yet," Ji Heng reminded her, "There is no reason not to kill you."

"I can't find a reason." Jiang Li looked at him calmly: "Because of these reasons, I can't even convince myself. But I have unfinished things, and I don't want to die now. If the Duke insists on letting go For me, I hope you can give me some time, my life stays here, and after I finish what I should do, I will personally send this life up, and I hope the Duke will accept it."

Ji Heng looked at her and said with a smile, "What if I say no?"

Jiang Li was silent again.

After a while, she said: "If it really doesn't work, the Duke of the country will do it. In fact, I have also made money. Originally, if the Duke of the Kingdom didn't show up today, I would die at the hands of these people. Maybe the death would be extremely disgraceful." It is my honor to be able to die in the hands of Grandpa Guo, not to mention that there are so many people buried with him, it is not a loss when I think about it. These days, thank you Grandpa for taking care of me. If there is a next life, Jiang Li will tie the knot Report to each other." After saying this, Jiang Li really closed her eyes, calmly raised her head slightly, and waited for Ji Heng to make a move.

The fan moved on the white jade-like neck, like a sharp weapon for harvesting life. Her facial features are distinct, clean and delicate like a fairy boy in the mountains, her mouth is small and rosy, and she is a bit stubborn when she closes it up, and her long eyelashes seem to be covered with a light layer of dew, which is about to fall, slightly Trembling, so pitiful.

Jiheng's fan wandered away and gradually deepened. It was not a gorgeous folding fan, it was more fierce than a blade.

The poisonous snake entangled its prey, opened its fangs, and let down the venom drop by drop. The white rabbit shrank into a ball, poor and cautious, hoping that there was still a glimmer of life.

It slowly approached, the snake letter was cold, and the eyes were cold, just a light bite, and the rabbit could no longer move.

But it suddenly shook off its tail, turned its head, and swam away.

Jiang Li only felt that the fan on her neck was lightened, and she felt nothing for a moment. She raised her head and saw Ji Heng's plain profile.

Ji Heng said: "You are the first person who thanked me after being killed by me."

Jiang Li said: "Really? That's my honor too."

"Your mouth is so sweet," Ji Heng's lips curled up, "Are you used to this?"

"No, I'm just doing this to the Duke." Jiang Li nodded, and heaved a sigh of relief. After all, she won the bet, she thought, after all, Ji Heng is a soft-hearted person, but Ji Heng is not a lunatic who kills anyone he sees. Although outsiders said he was moody, in fact, Ji Heng took his life when someone provoked Ji Heng.

Once he showed that he was completely harmless and docile, and had no effect on Ji Heng, he wouldn't bother to do anything to him.

"I know you are not as harmless and docile as you seem," Ji Heng said suddenly as if he could predict what she was thinking, "You also unintentionally ruined many of my plans, and I don't like to show mercy. But, He suddenly looked at Jiang Li, his eyes were transparent and deep: "You pulled me into the play."

"I want to see the end of this play, the most exciting time, you can't die." Ji Heng said: "So your life is left to you for the time being, and I will come to take it after you finish your work."

Jiang Li asked: "What if it takes a long, long time to finish what I do?"

"Then wait." Ji Heng said, "I'm patient, you know."

Jiang Li was silent, Ji Heng was indeed very patient, as early as a long time ago, before King Cheng became grand, Ji Heng began to arrange. At that time, no one would care about these things. He just supported Cheng Wang step by step to the point where no one dares to underestimate him. The current restraint of the Jiang family is all due to this person.

He is more patient than anyone else, and there is probably nothing he can't do that he wants to do.

But Jiang Li is already very satisfied. Whether this life is still alive for the time being, or it will be taken away by Ji Heng one day, there is no need to die now. She wants to live, to rescue Xue Huaiyuan from prison, to reveal the true colors of Yongning and Shen Yurong, and to avenge Xue Zhao.

Everything can only be done by living. Ji Heng can prevent her from dying among the people arranged by Ji Shuran today, and she has no reason to resent Ji Heng for this life that can avenge her.

The road ahead is long, save your life, and you can always get ahead.

"These people..." Jiang Li looked at the corpses on the ground.

"Don't worry about it." Ji Heng looked at her: "Maybe you want to pretend and send it back to Yanjing Ji Shuran?"

Jiang Li thought about it seriously: "No need. Send it back. She knows that the matter has failed, so she will inevitably think of other ways. I am really weak. Why not let her think that everything has succeeded, and when I return to Yanjing, she will naturally think of other ways." It’s a joy to be surprised.”

Ji Heng nodded happily: "It makes sense."

"What is the Duke's plan now?" Jiang Li asked: "I have to go back. Uncle doesn't know what's going on now. Feng Yutang's people are determined to kill me. I'm afraid that Uncle will be in danger."

"Ye Mingyu is fine." Ji Heng said: "Feng Yutang's people, the three best killers in Yongning Kung Fu, came to chase you, and you tricked them into the swamp." He gave Jiang Li a meaningful look, and said: " The rest of the people are not enough to prove, Ye Mingyu can handle it."

Jiang Li was relieved when she heard Ji Heng say this. If something happened to Ye Mingyu because of her, Jiang Li would probably blame herself very much. Ji Heng wouldn't lie about it, Jiang Li still believed him.

"Let's go." Ji Heng said, motioning for her to ride forward.

Jiang Li was stunned, just now when she was running away in a hurry, her foot was sprained, making it inconvenient to walk, she wanted to endure it, but Ji Heng saw it. But it wasn't the time to be pretentious, so Jiang Li didn't think too much about it, supported herself, and got on the horse.

Ji Heng walked unhurriedly beside him, and Jiang Li sat on the horse's back holding the rein. The two of them were in harmony like never before.

"Master, I have something to ask you." Jiang Li said softly: "This life was lent to me, but if I haven't given it to you, I will die?"

"That's impossible." Ji Heng didn't turn his head back, his red robe flashed a bright stream of light in the night, and he said: "No one else can take away my things, including your life."
