The eastern sky was full of clouds, the color of blood.

The bright red blood soaked through the dark clothes and dyed the daughter like a flower.

He hugged her with all the strength he had left, the temperature on his hands was still hot, but her heart seemed to be frozen in a distant place of extreme cold, cold, deathly cold wrapped, her whole body froze, and the heart-rending cries of the people around her echoed in her ears. No, no, she cried out in her heart, and suddenly she turned around like crazy, hugged him tightly, and fell to the ground with him. My mind was blank, only tears flowed uncontrollably from the bursting of the embankment.

Seeing him close his eyes as gentle as autumn water, for a moment, it seemed as if tens of thousands of ants were devouring in the bottom of his heart.

Suddenly, she turned her head back and looked at Ling Chengzhi not far away, her resentful eyes seemed to be able to pierce people's bones and eat human flesh and blood.

Looking at each other, Ling Chengzhi was stunned for a moment and panicked.

Ji Qianning slowly put Xuan Qi down, touched the sword left in the grass, suddenly got up, and rushed to Ling Chengzhi's side with lightning speed, holding the sword against his neck, everyone panicked, and for a while, the soldiers fought against each other.

"Let them go." Ji Qianning struggled to calm herself.

Ling Chengzhi looked down into her eyes, trying to find the warmth and tenderness he was familiar with in the past, but those eyes were so unfamiliar, like an abyss, like a cold pool, unfathomable and impossible to look at. He closed his eyes, and his heart was full of remorse, and now he was in such a situation, which he had caused by himself.

"Let them go." Ji Qianning amplified her voice.

"No, Prince." Yan Ji wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth, stood up strongly, clenched the long whip in her hand, and raised her feet forward with pleading in her eyes.

"If you are taking a step forward......" Ji Qianning scolded, and with a little force, a trace of blood oozed from Ling Chengzhi's neck.

"Slut, I'm going to kill you." Yan Ji jumped like thunder, hating Ji Qianning.

"Stand down." Ling Chengzhi shouted loudly, "Let them go." ”

Yan Ji's eyes were full of unwillingness, and she called out to the prince in a slightly hoarse voice. In exchange for just a "shut up" without warmth.

Chu Duxue shouted "Ah Ning", clenched the long sword in her hand, and ran to Ji Qianning's side, even if she fought for her own life, she had to protect her. Ah Ning is Qianmu's most cherished sister, and she is also the person she also cherishes, and she will never abandon her.

Lan Xin clenched his double knives, and Tong Yi Shuihan also rushed over.

"Sister Xue, don't come here." Ji Qianning's eyes were full of pleading, and when Chu Duxue saw her eyes, she couldn't bear it, stopped her steps, and stopped the two behind her.

"Help Ah Ning protect the six princes, otherwise, I will have no reason to live alone in the world."

"No ......"

Their faces were covered with tears, and a strange atmosphere of sadness mixed with a little death permeated the surroundings, and it was painful to the heart.

"Don't forget, I am a child of the Ji family, and the Ji family has always stood up to the sky and the earth, fearless of life and death." A smile appeared on Ji Qianning's face, "Tell my brother that Ah Ning was ignorant before, which made him worried." ”

Chu Duxue couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, don't overdo it, tears secretly slipped down.

"Childish."

"Sister......" My sister called, and the tears he had endured for a long time burst out of his eyes instantly.

Ji Qianning smiled at Zhi'er, "Together with Su Wei, take care of your brother." ”

Su Wei saluted her, and Su Yi cast a grateful glance at her.

"Lan'er." She looked at her and said in her usual gentle tone, "Be careful. Thousands of emotions are contained in these two words, Lan Xin's face is full of tears, she understands her own miss, so she didn't say a word, just kept nodding her head.

"Brother Yi, please." She made her tone as relaxed as possible, "Take the six princes and leave quickly." ”

The wind blew the hair and dried the tears on his face, Ji Qianning saw that everyone was unmoved, and said urgently: "Even if it is for the sixth prince, no matter how late it is, I am afraid of him, afraid of him...... Please, go, go......" Her voice became choked, but she was still pretending to be strong, "If you don't go, I will die in front of you." ”

Chu Duxue understood her heart, and she was ruthless, and left with everyone, towards the southeast, in the direction of home.

Why are you so ruthless? That's when she understands that this is the backbone of the Ji family, sacrificing their lives for righteousness, if they can't protect the people they cherish, they would rather choose to die.

Ji Qianning watched their backs disappear at the end, tears on her face, like flowers and smiles blooming in the cold wind.

……

Suddenly, Ji Qianning pulled Ling Chengzhi to a horse and whispered to him in a slightly hoarse voice: "Get on the horse, make sure I leave safely." She was sure that Ling Chengzhi would not embarrass him, she was afraid of another accident halfway, after all, there was a Yanji who hated her to the bone, she couldn't just die in vain, she had to live well, and everyone was still waiting for her.

Ling Chengzhi glanced at her with surprise in his eyes: "So sure I will let you go." ”

"You owe me."

Ling Chengzhi's eyes moved away from her, and there was nowhere to place them for a while.

"In the future, you and I will not owe each other." As she spoke, she let go of her hand and put down the sword against Ling Chengzhi's neck.

Ling Chengzhi closed his eyes, clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and then quickly picked up Ji Qianning and flew on the horse.

Everyone quickly gathered in front of the horse, and Yan Ji rushed to the front: "Prince, what is this?" ”

"Get out of the way." Ling Chengzhi's tone was cold.

"Nope." Yan Ji looked at Ling Chengzhi's eyes, with grievances and unwillingness in her eyes.

"If anyone stands in the way of the horse, he will be summarily executed." His words were resolute and cold, and they were creepy. Everyone avoided them, and Yan Ji stared at them for a long time, holding back the tears that came out of her eyes, and left the horse with red eyes.

"Ride ......" the horse and leave.

Yan Ji looked at the back that was gradually moving away, snorted coldly, and executed on the spot, hehe, third prince, for that slut, you actually treated me like this, in your eyes, am I so unbearable? For you, I have paid so much, and even become the one I once disliked the most, jealous, cold-blooded, and cruel...... After so many years of friendship, it can't be compared to a mere slut. Today, even if you kill me, I will get rid of her.

Thinking of this, she jumped on her horse and chased in the direction where Ji Qianning left.

……

The horses are galloping, the wind is howling, and a red dress flutters in the wind, adding a touch of color to the desolate earth. Ling Chengzhi took Ji Qianning and stopped at a high ground. Ji Qianning saw the black dots that were getting farther and farther away in the distance, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, they should be safe.

Suddenly, the scenery in front of her attracted her, and she saw that the end of the desert was full of greenery, and the high ground they were in was unfathomable, with trees and grasses, and unknown wildflowers blooming on the cliffs.

The beautiful scenery soothed her heavy heart a little, and a smile unconsciously hung on her face. She quickly dismounted, and Ling Chengzhi followed.

"Thousand Gaze ......"

Ling Chengzhi didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Ji Qianning, she corrected him, the two were not close, and it was appropriate to call her the county lord.

Ling Chengzhi was extremely embarrassed for a while, and today's events made him see his heart clearly, and seeing her treating him coldly for the sake of another man, it was very uncomfortable in his heart, but all of this was self-inflicted.

"Thousand Gaze ......"

"County Lord."

"Thousand ......"

"County Lord."

"Can we talk?" Ling Chengzhi stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

She shook it off: "What can we talk about?" He asked.

"I owe you an explanation."

"Oh? Hehe...... Third Prince, do you think it is still necessary at this time? She spoke calmly.

Ling Chengzhi covered his chest with one hand: "What you did today, you should know my affection for you." ”

"Affection." Ji Qianning laughed, "What a luxurious word, if you are really affectionate, you will not leave only one sentence, let me wait for you and hope for you; If you are really affectionate, you will not pretend to be ignorant outside the Qiongmin Palace, which will make my heart like a knife; If you are truly affectionate, you will not disregard your vows and marry another woman; If you were really affectionate, you wouldn't have deceived me, deceived me, or taken advantage of me in the first place. You don't deserve to talk about affection at all. After saying that, she snorted coldly at him, and she herself was surprised that she could say these words so calmly.

"People of the royal family, you can't help yourself, if I don't take Yixuan, my mother won't let you go." He knew that if he didn't say some things and some misunderstandings, he would never have a chance again. As he spoke, he took out a glass hairpin from his arms, "I have always carried this hairpin with me." ”

Ji Qianning looked at the things in his hands, and thought of Yucheng and Jingdu for a while: "Everything is settled, it's time to end, and the things should be returned to their original owners." ”

"At least leave me a thought." He clenched the bead hairpin in his hand.

"Whatever you want." Ji Qianning mocked in her heart.

Ling Chengzhi's words couldn't arouse any emotions from Ji Qianning, he understood that she had already been dead to him, and her heart was full of frustration. "I have failed you, do you hate me?"

Ji Qianning chuckled at him: "No, I should thank you, thank you for letting us go." After speaking, he quickly mounted his horse, "Since the princess is married to you, treat her well." ”

It seemed that there was a little hand holding Ling Chengzhi's heart, he wanted to capture her and go back to the palace, even if it was closed, he would be satisfied with a glance, but he couldn't do that, he couldn't let her hate him again.

"Third Prince, thank you for your horse." When she had finished speaking, she patted her legs on the horse's back, and the horse let out a long cry and galloped forward.

Ling Chengzhi looked at the distant figure, clenched the glass hairpin, let the wind blow his clothes, and secretly felt sad.

Suddenly, a horse galloped past him, and when he saw it clearly, it was Yanji, but it was too late, everything happened too quickly, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Yan Ji held the arrow crossbow in her hand, and the sharp arrow was accompanied by the sound of the wind, shooting straight into Ji Qianning's back, and then waved the long whip and dragged Ji Qianning up from the horse.

Ji Qianning waved the sword in her hand in a panic and wanted to cut off the long whip, but she always deviated, and finally endured the pain and gritted her teeth, and used all her strength to cut off the long whip that bound her and fell to the ground, struggling to get up, Yan Ji shot another sharp arrow, she dodged violently, but she didn't want to slip under her feet, she stumbled, and actually slid down the cliff.

"Don't, don't ......," Ling Chengzhi's shout resounded in the sky.

The moment she fell, the past flashed in her mind, her father, mother, Yucheng, Jingdu, brother, brother and sister-in-law, Lan Xin, the peach blossoms on Lanluo Mountain...... I never thought that she Ji Qianning ended her life like this, sad, lamentable......

At this moment, I realized that all kinds of obsessions in the past are really ridiculous, and living is the greatest happiness. The most guilty person in her life is her brother and ...... Finally, Xuan Qi's face flashed so clearly, and suddenly, she saw a little girl dancing among the flowers, a boy about ten years old looked at it obsessively, applauding from time to time, and he was holding an auspicious cloud-shaped jade pendant in his hand......

It turns out that it's you......
