Jiang Li stared at his hand.

The jade pendant was intact, and the moonlight shone through the window, shining brightly and white with his hands. It was as if the civet cat was going to live. He was like a beautiful charm coming out of the dark world, holding a fascinating keepsake in his hand and handing it to him.

"This..." Jiang Li looked at him incredulously.

"You left this in the daytime." Ji Heng leaned back and said carelessly, "I forgot to give it back to you." Seeing that Jiang Li was unwilling to reach for it, he put the jade pendant on the table by himself.

Jiang Li slowly grasped the jade pendant to the palm of her hand, and from the bottom of her heart, there was a trace of joy and doubt. But her doubts were soon drowned, and a bloody smell came from Ji Heng. He was wearing red clothes, and he couldn't see anything under the moonlight, so he didn't know whether it was someone else's blood or his own blood.

He didn't answer Jiang Li's question just now, so Jiang Li didn't know where he went or what he did. The only thing she can ask is, "are you hurt?"

Ji Hu smiled and didn't speak.

Jiang Li took the scissors out of her sleeve and put it on the table. She looked like a child who had done something wrong. She was a little nervous and wanted to make up for it. She said: "... Later, I saw blood on this scissors. I clearly stabbed that person before... Stabbed you... You..."

Ji Xuan looked at her with a smile and said, "you still don't believe me, Ali."

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment. She understood Ji Heng's meaning in a moment.

Ji Heng was around at that time. In fact, she knew in her heart that Ji Heng would do it, but she still took out the scissors at that moment. She did not expose all her weaknesses in front of Ji Heng, leaving herself a way out. She still doesn't fully believe Ji Heng, even though she likes him a little.

These are all seen by Ji Heng.

She said, "sorry..."

"It's not your fault," Ji Heng interrupted her. He raised his eyebrows and said, "after all, you died once."

Jiang Li is silent. Ji Heng thought that she was hurt by Shen Yurong and refused to trust others easily, which was to help her out, but Jiang Li knew that in addition to Shen Yurong, there was also her mistrust of Ji Heng herself. It may be that Ji Chen appeared in front of her at the beginning, but she weighed the pros and cons. Even later, she gradually understood that Ji Chen was not that kind of person. When she was in danger, even if Ji Chen was in front of her, she would instinctively protect herself.

If Ji Heng is a very sensitive person, he will be disappointed because of this. If Ji Heng is not a sensitive person... He is not a fool, naturally he understands.

Jiang Li's heart was a little depressed, but she still braced herself, reluctantly smiled and said, "so, are you hurt? If..."

"No." Ji Xuan stood up and said, "I'm fine. Please rest early." He is going out of the house.

"Where do you sleep like this?" Jiang Li asked.

"Don't worry about me." He just left one sentence and went out.

Jiang Li still wanted to follow, but she couldn't move. After a long time, the moonlight disappeared in the clouds, and the room was completely dark. There was a slight movement outside. It seemed that someone was talking. It was about Zhao Ke and Wen Ji. She sat on the bed with a thin quilt on it, and her heart was at a loss.

This may also be a good thing for her. If Ji Heng thinks that she is such a selfish, affectionate and untrustworthy person, the connection between them will be slowly cut off.

After all, it still fulfilled people's wishes.

……

Outside the house, Zhao Ke lit the fire trap, Wen Ji found clear water, and was cleaning the wound for Ji Heng sitting on the stone bench.

His sleeve was lifted, revealing the scar on his arm. The wound seems to be cut by some sharp object. The wound is not long, but it is deep. Wen Ji slowly cleaned up for him. Zhao Ke found a small medicine bottle with a palm size from his bag. Wen Ji took it and sprinkled some medicine powder on Ji Heng's wound.

Ji Xuan didn't move, and she didn't have any expression, as if she couldn't feel the pain at all. Zhao Ke said, "Sir, are you injured by fighting with others outside?"

He didn't know that Ji Heng's wound was not left by fighting with others, but by Jiang Li. It's just strange to look at the wound. The shape of the wound doesn't look like a sword or a concealed weapon. It looks completely disorganized, as if people without martial arts are indiscriminately fighting. But it's very heavy, but if a man tries his best, he won't stop at this point. Is it a woman who fought with her adults? Zhao Ke thought in his heart that there would be no women in the army of King Cheng. But if it's not Cheng Wang's army, what other enemies are there near here?

Wen Ji helped Ji Xuan wrap up the wound. He did it very well. Although he was a tall man, he did his work very carefully. Ji Heng took off his robe. Even though the red color could not see the blood stain, it was stained with some traces. If you look carefully, you can still see it.

"My lord..." Wen Ji hesitated and asked, "why do you want to go back?"

Wen Renyao and Lu Ji couldn't feel it, but Zhao Ke and Ji Hong could feel it. Ji Hong suddenly left the carriage and turned back in the daytime, and the direction they came back was the same.

Zhao Ke was shocked in his heart, and he was curious, but he didn't dare to ask. Wen Ji was brave enough to ask. Ji Heng didn't answer Wen Ji's words, but looked at the wound on his hand, where Wen Ji wrapped it up properly. He said, "do your own thing."

He didn't laugh. Wen Ji and Zhao Ke both felt a chill in their hearts. Knowing that Ji Heng was unhappy, they didn't say anything at once. I went to the quilt place at the door just now to watch the night.

Ji Xuan sat on the stone bench with deep eyes.

He did something he shouldn't have done.

……

The next day, when Jiang Li got up, he heard that Renyao was talking to Ji Heng outside.

When Lu Ji and Wen Ren got up, he found Ji Xuan was there. He was very surprised. After confirming that Ji Xuan was safe, he pestered Ji Xuan to ask what he had married yesterday. Of course, Ji Xuan didn't answer. After making trouble for several times, I became honest when I heard that people were far away.

Jiang Li and Lu Ji greeted each other when they heard that they were far away, and they also greeted Ji Xuan. Both of them were tacit, as if nothing had happened last night. They were busy on their way and got on the carriage. Along the way, Jiang Li was more silent than before. If it weren't for Wen Renyao constantly looking for words with her, Jiang Li would not even say a word all the way. The silence was heard and looked in the eyes. Even Lu Ji was concerned and asked what happened to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li had to prevaricate with the question that she was thinking about how to deal with her father after returning to Yanjing.

"Why is it difficult?" Wen Renyao said, "just blame us for all these things. You were abducted to Huangzhou by King Cheng's men and just saved by ah Heng. You proposed to go back to Yanjing, but ah Heng was too busy to find someone to escort you back to Beijing. You had to wait until now. Even if Jiang Yuanfu wanted to say something, it had nothing to do with you. You asked him to go to the government to find ah Heng and let ah Heng talk to him."

Jiang Li: "...."

Wen Renyao really knows the truth of bringing disaster to the East.

"I wonder how Yanjing is now." Lu Ji sighed.

"What is Yanjing like?" Lin Yao asked, "brother, are there many people in Yanjing city?"

"Of course." Wen Renyao said, "Yanjing city is much larger than Huangzhou. The emperor lives in Yanjing city. The girls there are also very beautiful. For example, your sister Jiang is the girl in Yanjing city. Do you think the girl in Yanjing city is good-looking?"

Lin Yao is still young. He can't tell whether Wen Renyao said "it's good or not", but he is excited and nervous. He said, "will we stay in Yanjing city in the future?"

"Er..." hearing that he often travels around, almost like Ye Mingyu, Lin Yao couldn't answer this, so he had to say, "let's stay there for the time being, and I'll take you out more later. In fact, Yanjing city is not so good..."

He talked for a while and then couldn't speak well, which made Lin Yao confused. Jiang Li looked at Wen Renyao's nonsense and suddenly thought of something. She asked, "as for our current trip, King Cheng's soldiers and horses are faster than us. When we arrive at Yanjing City, will we meet King Cheng's people outside the city? Or when we first entered the city, there was chaos when King Cheng entered the city. I'm afraid the gate won't open. How can we enter the city?"

Ji Heng didn't answer, but Lu Ji opened his mouth. Lu Ji patiently explained, "Miss Jiang, this path we take will be a little closer than the other one. Besides, we are in a hurry, and we will arrive at Yanjing city earlier than Cheng Wang's soldiers. As for the city gate, you don't have to worry."

Jiang Li felt relieved when she heard the words.

After that, as Lu Ji said, the journey was very smooth. After walking out of the most difficult mountain road, even the trail, the journey began to speed up. I haven't met any unexpected guests again.

By the morning of the seventh day, Yanjing city was close at hand.

When she was in Huangzhou City before, she didn't feel that when she was really about to return to Yanjing City, Jiang Li couldn't help feeling light. It seems that Yanjing has not been affected by the army of King Cheng, at least there are no strange people. However, there are many fewer people coming and going inside and outside the city gate. It may be that the people are still a little afraid in the end. And the young players at the gate of the city are much more cautious than they saw before. Everyone should carefully check.

Wen Renyao looked outside and said, "it seems that Cheng Wang hasn't hit here yet."

"That's fast." Lu Ji said, jumped out of the carriage, holding the travel order guide in his hand, and went outside to say something to the two young generals guarding the city. The young generals didn't carefully check the inside and outside of the carriage as before, but respectfully let go. Jiang Li guessed that Lu Ji didn't hide Ji Chen's identity, so it would be so smooth.

The carriage drove into the city gate.

There was a familiar bustle outside. Hearing that people were far away, they lifted the curtain of the carriage by a small half, let Lin Yao look at it, and said, "look, this is Yanjing city."

It was a child who was immediately dazzled by the prosperity of Yanjing city. Lin Yao murmured, "brother, the streets of Yanjing city are so wide, wider than our two roads!"

"That's," Wen Renyao is not from Yanjing, but he also shows a look of glory, "otherwise how to teach Yanjing?"

Jiang Li couldn't help laughing as she listened to their conversation, big and small. But he bumped into Ji Heng's eyes, and he still smiled at the corners of his lips, as if he were just staring at Jiang Li blandly. Jiang Li's head deflected, turned sideways, avoided his eyes, and followed Lin Yao to look out.

The streets are full of sugar men, dough men, jugglers, and storytellers. There is a lot of noise everywhere. Compared with the messy and scorched Huangzhou at that time, Yanjing was like a paradise. Those wars, bodies, fires and fears were far away, and they were two distinct worlds.

Jiang Li is also inevitably in a trance.

She also thought about whether to say goodbye to Ji Heng and them here and go directly back to the house. But this may lead to Jiang Yuanbai's suspicion, with some intention to cover up. But it's strange that they should really go to Jiang's house with themselves.

She goes back to Jiang's house first, and ye Mingyu will surely get the news and come soon. With the previous incident, Jiang Yuanbai was afraid that she would not easily get out of the house.

Thinking about it, he saw Lin Yao holding the carriage window and reaching out. He probably felt strange when he saw the juggler outside. He stood up and staggered. Half of his body was outside the window of the car. Jiang Li was startled and said, "Xiao Yao, come down, you're really dangerous!"

As soon as the words fell, the carriage suddenly shook. I didn't know what was going on in front of it, like the horse was frightened. The whole carriage shook violently and then stopped abruptly. Lin Yao shook his body and fell out of the carriage.

Jiang Li exclaimed.

He is still a child. If he falls down like this, he may die!

Jiang Li, regardless of anything else, immediately ran out of the carriage. Outside the carriage, there were many spectators. Jiang Li's heart was tight and she could hardly bear to see it. Zhao Ke and Wen Jicai would appease the frightened horse.

Just then, a soft female voice suddenly came, and she said, "whose child is this?"

Jiang Li looked up.

In front of her stood a young woman, who was so beautiful that it was almost too much. However, in the beauty, there is a hint of heroic spirit. She was dressed in red riding clothes, beautiful and warm. She didn't look like a Yanjing person. She held a whip in one hand and held Lin Yao in the other. Lin Yao looked at Jiang Li in shock, and suddenly burst into tears.

He stretched out his hand at Jiang Li: "sister!"

"Is this your brother?" The woman said as she loosened her hand. Lin Yao stumbled towards Jiang Li, rushed to Jiang Li's arms, choked, and shivered, looking very scared.

Jiang Li said, "thank you for saving me."

The woman raised her eyebrows and was about to speak. Her eyes suddenly crossed behind Jiang Li and stopped.

If Jiang Li realizes something, she turns around.

Behind him, Ji Hong came out.
