1837: Finale (2)

The cold wind howled outside.

Jiang Pengji changed into a clean and neat attire, with a Zhanshen knife hanging around her waist, her expression was as calm as usual.

"It's snowing heavily outside, why don't my lord wear an extra coat?"

Xu Ke spoke with a familiarity.

"It's not as cold as your heart, so what's the difference if you wear more than one less?" Jiang Pengji walked half a step past him and said, "Lead the way, I hope it's not too far away. I'm as strong as a bear." , it’s okay to take off two more, but you, keep warm when you’re older.”

Xu Ke smiled and leaned over to lift up the lantern, and walked slowly ahead to lead the way.

The cold wind blows a little bit of snow, and it falls on the hair. The snow is a little thicker, and it looks like white hair from a distance.

"Suddenly I hope that the snow will fall even harder." Jiang Pengji kept a distance of about one meter from Xu Ke, and the person in front carried a lamp and walked slowly in the snow, surrounded by the sound of two people stepping on the snow, The sound of breathing and the sound of wind blowing, the seemingly noisy winter snow night scene gives people a different kind of silence, "So, if something goes wrong, I will live a long life."

Xu Ke didn't answer, his back was still straight, but his fingers holding the lantern pole trembled slightly.

She followed Xu Ke's guidance all the time, but the other party led her further and further away, and the surrounding scene became lonely.

Jiang Pengji said, "Speaking of which, Xiaoyu, do you still remember how many years we have known each other?"

Xu Ke didn't answer, Jiang Pengji said to herself, "I remember it was not long after the Flower Festival when I was twelve years old."

"How can I not remember, a day I will never forget in my life."

Jiang Pengji counted with her fingers, "I didn't pay attention on weekdays, but now I do the math, I will be thirty years old in two months."

In fact, apart from the group of salted fish in the live broadcast room, the person she has known the longest in this life is actually Xu Ke.

She met Xianyu in the live broadcast room for seventeen years and eight months, and she and Xu Ke were also masters, servants and ministers who had known each other for seventeen years and eight months.

Jiang Pengji thought that time passed very slowly, but when she looked back, everyone went from teenagers to 30s and 40s.

If you take the average age of this era as an example, more than half of your life has passed.

Xu Ke asked her,

"Indeed, in two months and thirteen days, it will be my lord's 30th birthday."

The ancients celebrated their birthdays as a whole, such as 30th, 40th, and 50th birthdays.

Jiang Pengji said regretfully, "Thirty years of life are very meaningful, but it's a pity that it's a bad year, and it's doomed not to be a big one this year."

She wanted to do a good job, but there was a lot of waste waiting to be done everywhere, and money was needed everywhere, so it was really not suitable to waste.

Xu Ke insisted on the way of the lamp, "My lord has always been frugal and doesn't like extravagance and waste. I'm afraid you won't want to spend your whole life if you want to."

He was by Jiang Pengji's side for seventeen full birthdays, and she spent one night of longevity every year.

Those three years in Langya County were a bit extravagant. Apart from eating a bowl of longevity noodles at home, they would also go out to a restaurant to buy a table of food and wine.

Jiang Pengji laughed, "It's still Xiaoyu who understands me."

Every time I say that I want to have a good birthday, but it will always be impossible for one reason or another, so keep everything simple.

To put it bluntly, it is still simple and used to it.

The two chatted while walking. After walking for half an hour, they finally saw candlelight floating in the farm in the distance.

Jiang Pengji put her hands in front of her eyes, "Tsk, this place is quite remote."

Xu Ke said, "After all, you are doing something that cannot be seen, and the lord still expects to be upright?"

Jiang Pengji was silent for a moment.

"What you said makes sense, but will this place be too wronged for my family, one big, two small and three babies?"

The corner of Xu Ke's mouth twitched, and he said calmly, "Although sparrows are small and have all internal organs, earth dragons and charcoal fires, how can they freeze them?"

Jiang Pengji calmly said, "That's right, it won't be able to pay for it if it freezes."

Only a hundred meters away from the farm, Jiang Pengji said quickly, "Xiaoyu—"

"Ok?"

"I only want to be ashamed of my actions in my life, but only you - I have always been in debt, can you complain in your heart?"

Jiang Pengji stopped in her tracks, Xu Ke glanced at the farm behind Jiang Pengji, with a somewhat dazed and melancholy expression, "Listen to the truth? The truth is - if the lord comes out from here, don't complain. If it's not you, don't blame the minister I blame you for the rest of my life."

Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Listen, the pressure is quite high."

Qi Guanrang said that he hoped to see her ascend to the top, Xianyu said that she would watch the prosperous age with her, and she also made a verbal promise that she would drink and have fun... Now Xu Ke said that she would blame her if she couldn't come out... Every time , I always feel that they are not only little princes but also uncles.

Xu Ke said, "The lord has always been confident and conceited, why is it now so empty?"

Jiang Pengji pinched her chin and said, "Maybe it's because of her age, after all, they are all middle-aged people in their thirties."

Xu Ke ha ha, I believed your nonsense.

Jiang Pengji waved to Xu Ke, and went to the farm without looking back.

Xu Ke looked towards the entrance of the farm, with a cold sneer on the corner of his lips, standing alone in the wind and snow.

I don't know whether it is an old friend who has been with me for seventeen years and eight months, or a stranger in the old man's skin.

"It's really sad when you think about it—"

The so-called "gods" wantonly manipulate people's lives, give when they say give, and deprive when they say deprive. Ordinary people are just dolls to be manipulated.

In the view of "God", mortals who have no ability to resist can only choose to remain silent in order to protect themselves and let themselves be manipulated.

As everyone knows, mortals will also show their fangs one day.

"I hope that the one who comes out is you, my lord."

Xu Ke raised his hand and caressed the short dagger hidden in his sleeve, with an impenetrable gloomy expression.

At the same time, Jiang Pengji pushed open the door of the main courtyard, and unexpectedly found that there were acquaintances inside.

"Why, all gathered here for a meeting one by one?"

Jiang Pengji smiled and flicked off the snow on her shoulders.

His majesty, who was sobbing silently, saw his acquaintance, his big eyes lit up.

"mother!"

Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Yo - I haven't seen you for a few months, Ah Lian speaks words so clearly."

There were several large and small iron prisons in the main hall, and she saw her daughter lying on the iron railing and looking at her pitifully.

"Mom, hug!"

His Highness Lian stretched out his hand for a hug, but His Highness Yan who was in the other cage rolled his eyes and gave Jiang Pengji a wink.

Quick fix, no ink.

At this time, the people in the other three big cages also woke up.

"I, hiss—it hurts like hell, where is this—sister?"

This is Liu Zhao's voice.

"Shut up, don't make any noise."

This is Liu She's voice.

Sitting in the cell, Wei Ci looked at Jiang Pengji, seeming to be sleepwalking.

Beiyuan Maruzhou is thousands of miles away, is he hallucinating?

Liu She, Liu Zhao, Wei Ci, three adults.

Jiang Lian, Jiang Yan, the listless and sleepy Feng You, and the panda girl who was hugged tightly by Jiang Yan.

as well as--

Standing in the center, Xunmei confronted Jiang Pengji.

Jiang Pengji said, "Don't you know how to salute when you see the old master?"

Xunmei's expression was dull, her eyes were dull, like a moving puppet.

Jiang Pengji said, "You hid deep enough, and you cleared your suspicions by taking the opportunity of marrying Xiaoyu."

Xunmei finally moved, but she spoke in an electronic voice, "It's just a coincidence, whoever made this maid pretend to be smart, you are stupid enough, and you handed the opportunity to me instead."

"How do you say that?"

Say she is stupid, but she doesn't admit it.

"Xunmei" raised her finger and pointed to herself, "This maid was just a chess piece laid by a certain branch,,\ body."

Jiang Pengji clasped her arms around her chest and said, "I know, the live broadcast system of that time-traveling woman whose name I don't know is a part you sliced ​​out. Xunmei and Taxue were chess pieces laid by her in the beginning. , Xunmei took the opportunity to jump out of the mud."

"Xunmei" said calmly, "Ordinary people always think that they have resisted their fate and arrangements, but in fact they just fell into a bigger trap."

Jiang Pengji said, "Xunmei didn't get rid of you?"

"Of course not, I thought I got rid of it, and it was under my control from beginning to end."

Jiang Pengji was silent.

"And you, pretending to be smart, actually married a little maid to Xu Ke, and even entrusted Xu Ke with a heavy responsibility."

Jiang Pengji's expression remained unchanged, as if she wasn't surprised by the situation.

"What did you do to Xu Ke?"

"Xunmei" smiled coquettishly, but the electronic sound was so weird.

"It's nothing, it's just to let him understand what it means to be a man who knows the current affairs. You claim to be able to read people's hearts, but you don't know that Xu Ke has already made two-handed preparations. Whether you go out alive today, or I go out, Xu Ke will Those who send it out are the main ones. As long as Xu Ke doesn't change his position, those confidantes of yours will have nothing to do with it. Jiang Pengji, you have spent nearly eighteen years making my wedding dress. I don't know how it feels? The Jiang family's debt , This is the first sum I have asked for!"

Jiang Pengji said, "It doesn't taste like much. You can just take a farm if you don't care about it. It's like how poor I am."

"Xunmei"'s smile froze for a moment, "It's just as long as you can see it."

After finishing speaking, she took out a dagger and lifted His Highness Yan, who was holding the panda tightly, out of the iron prison.

Jiang Pengji: "..."

"Since you don't value it, then give up your body, otherwise, these people will die. Especially these twins, the children you gave birth to yourself. The skin is so tender, I just need to lighten their necks One slash and they're dead."

Wei Ci's face turned pale when he heard this, "How dare you hurt His Highness?"

"Xunmei" rolled his eyes at Wei Ci, "Don't worry, it will always be your turn."

Jiang Pengji curled her lips, "You've really become more and more depraved, you can't fight head-on, and you've learned despicable tricks pretty well."

"Xunmei" said, "As long as you can win, any means will be tolerated."

Jiang Pengji said, "What should I do?"

"Xunmei" pointed to the glove on the ground and said, "Here, just put on this thing."

Jiang Pengji picked it up and looked at it, "What is this?"

"Xunmei" said, "The one who separated the physical body from the spiritual body, that's how Liu Xi died back then."

The expressions of Liu She and Liu Zhao on the side changed dramatically.

Jiang Pengji asked back, "What if I don't do it?"

"Then I can only grab their spirit bodies one by one in front of you, including your group of important ministers and close friends. Jiang Pengji, I'm cornered now, and I can do anything. I really want to die. When I die, I want to hold my back."

Jiang Pengji sighed, "Tiannao, you are so depraved that my heart aches."

The former Tiannao of the Federation escaped for two thousand years, and now it slices itself slice by slice, just like a steak.

It's really distressing to still use such a rogue method at this moment.
