Marriage of the Di Daughter

In the next few days, outside the city gate of Huangzhou, King Cheng's troops launched several more attacks. However, the terrain of Huangzhou was originally easy to defend but difficult to attack, which was not an easy task for those people. In addition, the city garrison has held the city for several times, which has greatly damaged the morale of King Cheng's soldiers and horses. It is not as fierce as the night attack on the first day.

The people of Huangzhou are still living in fear, but the smooth guarding of the city army has gradually given them confidence. In addition to repairing the burned house that night, he is gradually trying to restore his previous life. The city garrison still patrols and searches the streets every day to see if there are any escaped assassins. On which day in the province it starts to make trouble again, causing chaos among the people.

When the military affairs are not so tense, Ji Heng and Lu Ji will not lose their grandpa in the house. This morning, the rain that had been raining for several days stopped, except for the warm sun. Wen Renyao taught Lin Yao to read the words on his divinatory chart in the yard. Lin Yao's parents, brothers and sisters were all buried by Wen Renyao and Jiang Li. Lin Yao has nothing else to recommend, so he depends here. Of course, even if he didn't say, Jiang Li wouldn't leave him alone in his original house.

Lu Ji came in from the outside and said, "Princess Liu has been killed."

Jiang Li just got up and went to the hall. What she heard was this sentence. Ji Xuan sat on a chair and drank tea.

"Are you dead?" Jiang Li came out, also sat down in the chair and asked, "did king Cheng send someone to save him?"

"No." Lu Ji shrugged.

"The emperor's attempt to lure snakes out of the cave is a failure." Jiang Li Dao.

Ji Xuan heard the speech and smiled, "not necessarily."

Jiang Li looked at him, Lu Ji explained: "King Cheng is selfish in nature, and his majesty may not be unaware of it. It is too dangerous to go to the palace to rescue Princess Liu, and it will disrupt his original plan. Once this happens, Princess Liu is bound to die. If the emperor really wants to lead the snake out of the cave, there must be another way. It is precisely because the emperor understands the nature of King Cheng that he directly killed Princess Liu. Princess Liu can't escape death, so it's better to give an explanation to the people earlier 。”

"I see." Jiang Li nodded. Her understanding of emperor Hong Xiao was limited to her previous life. She learned from Shen Yurong and her father's story. In this life, there are only a few people who have seen emperor Hong Xiao. They only know that the emperor has many chips in his hands, but the specific relationship between him and King Cheng is not very clear.

"Also, your majesty has sent General Wu Wei to Huangzhou."

Jiang Li said, "this is good news."

When general Wu Wei came, Huangzhou City was saved.

Lu Ji glanced at Ji Heng and said, "general Zhaode is also on his way back to Beijing."

His tone was so strange that Jiang Li also looked at Ji Heng. Ji Heng didn't change his expression, but said, "King Cheng is going to Yanjing."

Jiang Li thought for a moment and asked, "King Cheng can't beat general Zhaode, can he?"

Ji Heng smiled gently and said, "a wolf and a tiger, do you think the wolf killed the tiger, or did the tiger eat the wolf?"

His understatement cooled Jiang Li's heart. On the surface, Ji Heng said that Cheng Wang was defeated by general Zhaode, but the meaning of his words was different. King Cheng had already prepared for this moment for many years, so that before, Emperor Hong Xiao did not dare to touch him lightly. However, in Ji Heng's words, there is a wide gap between the strength of King Cheng and general Zhaode. If general Zhaode is really so powerful, that is, he is more powerful than becoming a power, then when did general Zhaode begin to prepare?

Except that the former Emperor suddenly transferred general Zhaode to the northwest, nothing special happened between the former Emperor and general Zhaode. Is general Zhaode a threat to the throne of emperor Hong Xiao? If emperor Hong Xiaodi knew, he would probably not let general Zhaode return to Beijing.

Jiang Li always believes that the matter of Yin Zhan is only afraid of involving a big secret of the royal family. But at least for now, she can only see the tip of the iceberg. And Ji Heng and general Ji had both warned her not to interfere in this matter. Jiang Li didn't mean to meddle, but her intuition told herself that she had to meddle in this matter if she didn't want to, because the Jiang family was also involved.

She must protect the Jiang family, protect herself, and protect Xue Huaiyuan and her achievements. Otherwise, you will lose everything if you make a mistake.

Thinking about this in her heart, Ji Chen stood up and walked out. Lu Ji asked him, "where is your adult going?"

"Go out for a walk." He walked to the door, paused and asked Jiang Li, "together?"

Jiang Li stood up and said, "OK."

The sun is as bright as ever, but the Empress Dowager is brighter after the rain. The streets of the city are full of stones and fallen wooden beams from houses. Some have been repaired, and others are still living. Some were not repaired well, so people found some thatch and built thatched houses on one side. There were coffins on the ground that had not been buried in time. Some monks sat beside the coffins and chanted sutras.

Children don't know what happened, and they don't know the cruelty of war. While parents are not paying attention, Wu Zi plays games with his playmates and laughs happily. The parents knew that it was not peaceful next, and all of them were sad.

Most of the shops on the street have closed. Very few of them are still open. There is a refreshment shop in front of them. The door beam has been burned black, but it still doesn't care. The tables and chairs inside are much less than before, and an old couple are busy.

Just these days, who is still in the mood to sit here and eat tea and snacks, so there is no one at the table in the straw shed. Even there was a woman who came in a hurry. She took a few copper coins from her sleeve, bought a bag, and hurried away.

At this juncture, the streets are particularly unsafe. Although it's not very good to live at home, it's much better than wandering in the streets. Who knows if those murderous assassins will suddenly jump out and take people's lives.

Jiang Li stopped in the refreshment shop and said, "I'll go shopping."

The maid who had been invited temporarily had left. Ji Chen's situation was really inappropriate for outsiders to be present. So there was no one to serve Jiang Li. Fortunately, Jiang Li was not a real spoiled eldest lady, and she didn't feel anything. He also helped clean up the house. As for food, Wen Ji bought it outside. Because it's like this in the city, it won't be very delicious, just to fill the stomach.

Jiang Li wanted to buy some tea, not for herself, but for Lin Yao. Although the little guy was accompanied every day, he often had nightmares at night, dreaming of his family's tragic death, and kept crying. Hearing that people are far away, there is nothing to do. Children like sweet food. If you buy some back, I'm sure Lin Yao will like it.

Seeing Jiang Li coming, the old couple asked what Jiang Li needed. Jiang Li chose some and waited for the old man to wrap them up. By the way, he asked the woman, "aunt, why do you still open a shop when the city is like this?"

The aunt smiled and said, "this store is an old one, which was left by our parents. We eat and live in the store. Even if we fight in the war, we have no other place to go. Besides, if those soldiers really go to the city, hiding in the house is the same as in the street. If they live one day, they will live a good day, and we are not afraid of anything at our age."

When she spoke, the old man had wrapped the cake and sent it to Jiang Li. Jiang Li wanted to pay the silver, and suddenly remembered that she changed her clothes today and left her purse behind. She thought for a moment and was about to take off her bracelet when a slender hand stretched out, holding a ingot of silver in her hand, and put it in front of the old woman.

"This..." the old woman was surprised and said, "it's not enough. We don't have any extra copper..."

"No need."

Jiang Li looked back, and Ji Xuan didn't know when she had come to her side. After waiting for her for a long time, I saw her dilemma and came to solve her difficulties.

"Little girl," the old woman immediately thanked, "your husband is really a good man."

Jiang Li blushed and was about to distinguish, but Ji Heng had dragged her away.

Jiang Li was still holding the oil paper bag with a sweet smell in her arms. After thinking for a while, she still raised her head to look at Ji Hong. She saw that Ji Hong was still holding a loose and careless smile at the corners of her mouth and walked slowly forward.

"Did you hear that just now..."

"What?" He looked sideways at Jiang Li, his eyes full of ponder.

"The aunt said you were a good person." Jiang Li replied with an unchanged face, "didn't you say that I'm the only one in the world who thinks you're a good person? Now you can say that there are two."

Ji Heng was stunned. She probably didn't expect that she was going to say this. But he quickly reacted and said, "I don't mind letting her take back her words."

The words were cool, and Jiang Li was speechless. She found that Ji Xuan was holding her sleeve, but their sleeves were wide. From a distance, it was like he was holding his hand. Jiang Li felt uneasy for some reason. She also didn't know whether Ji Xuan deliberately kept a distance because she hated others to be close to her or respected the girl's family.

Jiang Li secretly tried to pull her sleeve out of his hand, but unfortunately she couldn't succeed. She was shaking because of her too big action, and almost tripped and was helped by Ji Heng.

"Walk carefully." He said with a smile.

Jiang Li had to give up.

The two of them are walking in the streets outside Huangzhou City. It's such a chaotic time. Few people dare to walk in the streets in such a swagger in the daytime. In addition, Ji Hong's appearance was too prosperous, which immediately attracted many people's attention. People hid behind the windows and the gate of the house and secretly looked at them. Young girls, in particular, had already looked at Ji Heng secretly when they saw her extraordinary bearing. By the way, even the ginger pear held by Ji Xuan kept watching.

Jiang Li can't laugh or cry. She really doesn't like this kind of appreciation as strange.

Jiang Li said, "Grandpa, I think we'd better go back. Or if you go shopping alone, I'll go back first."

"When you were Xue Fangfei, you should be used to it." Ji Heng reminded slowly.

Ginger and pear choked. It's true that when she first married to Yanjing City, she was gorgeous and had been looked at everywhere. At first, I was uncomfortable, but then I got used to it. But now she is no longer Xue Fangfei. Jiang Li said, "the past is the past, now is the present, I am no longer Xue Fangfei."

Ji Heng: "then you should get used to it."

Jiang Li asked, "why?"

"I don't like being with grey mouse," he answered naturally. "If you're not good-looking, don't stand in front of me."

Jiang Li remembered that, by the way, this man likes beauty and hates ugliness. She suddenly caught the loophole in Ji Heng's words just now, and rarely felt narrow-minded, so she looked up and asked Ji Heng, "what the Lord of the country meant is that I'm still very good-looking now?"

The joy and complacency in the voice can't be hidden, and Ji Xuan can't help turning around to look at her. The girl raised her head with clear eyes and a smile. The girl's unique frankness and courage were reflected in it, making her like a newborn pear flower. It was white and lovely, and it was pure that made people laugh.

Ji Heng's heart moved.

From the mild but indifferent, cunning and lonely girl at the beginning to now, she has always liked to laugh, but this is different from Jiang Li when she first met. But maybe this is what she really looks like. In the past years, when Xue Fangfei was a girl, she never met Shen Yurong, and she was like this.

It is hard to imagine that later she became a boring woman, busy with trivial things all day. She put away her aura and intelligence, just like those beautiful official ladies in Yanjing city. Shen Yurong turned a soft, lovely, bright and touching pear flower into a cannibal flower that fights in the dark flower bed all day, which is really a monstrous thing.

He has never been a person who cherishes beauty, and he has seen many beautiful women in the world. He was once scolded as hard hearted and ruthless, but at this moment, she also felt the sun was soft, and her smile was lovely. She only hoped that such a smile could last for a long time. This Jiang Li, just like the present, was a girl who was always brave, with the courage to put all his eggs in one basket, and the good luck of heaven.

He leaned close to Jiang Li and whispered, "HMM."

Jiang Li was stunned.

What I had originally planned to use to confront him and ridicule him came to an abrupt end. The smile on the corners of the youth's mouth is gentle, and in the amber eyes, there is no deep and shallow love and hypocrisy, just like the sun at the moment, warm and bright.

She suddenly couldn't speak, and her cheeks slowly turned red.

The deer, which had been silent, suddenly stood up slowly again, slowly raised its legs, walked tentatively, and then jumped and ran around in her heart, trampling her heart into confusion.

Jiang Li could almost hear her heartbeat.

In fact, she has forgotten what kind of mood she had when she first liked Shen Yurong. After all, it has been a long time, but now, at this moment, she knows that she may be a little, a little, moved by the man in front of her.

This is not a good thing, Jiang Li was stunned. The originator seemed unaware, stood up straight and walked forward.

The sunlight sprinkled on his tall back and dyed others golden.

Jiang Li knew that something bad was going on.
