031 Row of Thorns
Soon, the day for Ji Xing to leave Jinling was set.
It was three days later.
Just when a group of people were preparing for Ji Xing's departure, Shen Li was also preparing for his trip to Guangling.
If it is really as Wei Yan said, then today's Guangling is Weiyu's world, and she has to be careful.
While he was packing his things, Gu Jiu walked in from outside, along with a letterhead. He handed the letter to Shen Li's face: "This is the second prince of the Guangling Palace's order to his subordinates just now. β
Shen Li put down the things in his hand and looked down, the letter was clean and clean, and nothing was written.
Seeing that Shen Li didn't move for a long time, Gu Jiu couldn't help but remind him again.
She smiled bitterly, where could this letter be from Ji Xing, it must have been passed to her by the hand that followed Ji Xing. She lowered her eyebrows and thought about it, but after all, she still couldn't turn a blind eye, so she took the letter, turned her back and opened it.
Gu Jiu thought that Ji Xing was going to discuss something with his girl, and was about to poke his head to look, when he saw the girl with her back to him, and then carefully opened the letter.
Such a move first stunned Gu Jiu, and then immediately remembered that the second son's brother-in-law in the Guangling Mansion was Ji Linyuan, and immediately regretted that he had taken the letter so easily and hastily.
If he knew, he would definitely tear this letter to shreds in front of Ji Xing at that time, and all of it would sink into the pond!
He won't leave a scrap of paper behind.
Actually, the letter was very simple.
On a large piece of letterhead, there was only a few sentences.
He wroteβ
Warm and warm, this time the mountains are high and the water is long, and Wang Qingzhen is photographed.
After Shen Li finished reading it, he quietly kneaded the piece of paper into his palm, then kneaded it into a ball, took off the lampshade, and slowly burned it on top of the flame.
The choking smell of smoke filled the courtyard in an instant.
Gu Jiu twisted his eyebrows: "Girl, what did the prince write to you?" β
"You know it's him?" Shen Li heard his words, half turned around, light and shadow flowed in from the outside, half covering her outline, and she could only see her delicate nose bone and small and thin lip flaps, there was no blood, but it inexplicably gave people a sweet and soft feeling.
Gu Jiu said again: "My subordinates guessed." β
"That's right." Shen Li stared coldly, and after seeing that the ball of paper was all burned, he said again, "If you knew that it was him, where would you deliver this letter to me." β
Gu Jiu cheekily praised: "The one who knows his subordinates is none other than a girl." β
"You're getting more and more human now." Shen Li put on the cloak, "I used to remember that if you could say less, you wouldn't say more." β
Gu Jiu said: "People can change, girls are like this, and so is Gu Jiu." β
The three days passed quickly.
Today is the day Ji Xing leaves Jinling.
I don't know if it's the reason why Ji Xing is leaving, the sunlight is dazzling and bright this morning.
In Shen Li's memories for decades, it is very rare to see such a good sunny day, but it is a pity that today's sunny day is going to be stained with blood.
Early in the morning, Shen Li lost her sleepiness, sat up with her cloak on, the window sash was wide open, and the wind came slowly through the hall.
On the small table in front of her, there was a pot of strong tea that had just been brewed, and Gu Jiu stood behind Shen Li with a sword, waiting with her for news from Wei Yan's side today.
Waiting for news is the hardest part.
Shen Li felt that half of his life had passed so long now, but he could hear from someone outside report that Ji Xing had just said goodbye to Emperor Jianing and had not yet left the palace.
Gu Jiu said: "The girl doesn't have to worry, it's still early, why don't the girls go to sleep for a while?" β
Shen Li shook her head, the whole person looked a little tired for some reason, she put her hand between her eyebrows and rubbed it: "How is Yaohua now?" β
"has become the crown princess's confidant, everything is in the girl's control."
Shen Li absentmindedly kneaded the sleeves in front of him: "It's not enough, what do you say is how to make Wei Yan completely hate Shen Qing." β
"Why bother the girl so much, if you don't like the second miss, just kill it."
Shen Li lowered his head and said: "I killed her, what's the use, I can solve the hatred in my heart for a while, if I let her know, it is Wei Yan who wants her to die......" Next, Shen Li hesitated for a while, and then didn't say anything, but what she meant, Gu Jiu can roughly guess it.
"Keep there, find out the news."
After waiting like this, she asked Shen Li to stay by the window sash, and sat from sunrise to noon, when the sun was at its highest, Ting Rin, who was sent out by her to inquire about the news, ran in in a panic under a round of scorching sun.
Shen Li saw that his face was red, so he made a look and asked Gu Jiu to wring a sweat towel for him to wipe it, and avoid the heat first.
But before Gu Jiu handed over the sweat towel, Ting Rin suddenly knelt in front of Shen Li with a bang: "Master! Something happened! β
The accident was in her expectation, when Wei Yan came to look for her that day, she noticed that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong, and then she thought that they had known each other for so many years, Wei Yan had never hurt her, and she chose to believe him when she was a little soft-hearted.
But this morning, she felt very flustered.
She had been sitting here for noon, and Ting Rin had brought back the news she didn't want to hear the most.
Shen Li looked down slowly: "What happened?" β
Ting Rin pressed his forehead against the ground, and the heat in his heart still lingered: "All the people are gone." β
"Who's gone?" Shen Li got up suddenly, "Is there something wrong with the second son of Ji?" β
"It's not!" Ting Rin hurriedly shook his head and said, "The people we sent to assassinate the second son of Ji are all dead, and there is not a single one left." β
Shen Li's heart calmed down a little, and he asked again, "Haven't all the escape routes been planned?" How could something happen? And no one ran out? β
"It's the King of the South!" Ting Rin said, "When they were assassinating, King Nan had already led people to ambush there, and after they stabbed the second son of Ji, King Nan led people to rush out and kill all those people. β
Shen Li pursed the corners of his mouth, and only said lightly after half a sound: "I haven't seen him for a long time, but his heart is becoming more and more ruthless." β
"Girl." Gu Jiu said, "Rong subordinates don't like what they say, today's Nanwang is no different from the crown prince, you cooperate with him, but you are only seeking skin with the tiger, you still have to add an extra eye in the future." β
Shen Li smiled: "Actually, it's understandable for him to do this, because only dead people can't speak, and he wants to protect himself." β
"King Nan's methods are too ......" Gu Jiu stopped abruptly halfway through, but the look of resentment did not hide half a point.
"Too much?" Shen Li raised her eyebrows and said what Gu Jiu thought in his heart, "Is it human nature?" β
After Gu Jiu nodded lightly, he heard Shen Li smile, "Since ancient times, the king has been defeated, and he wants to reach the top of that position, if he is really a decent man and a gentleman, where can he fight the prince." β
"This matter will stop here, Ji Xing will be fine." Shen Li said, "Pack up, let's leave later." β
"Yes."
Ting Rin knelt on the ground and thought about it for a long time, but finally swallowed Ji Xing's serious injury into his stomach.
When she left Jinling, she met Wei Yan outside the city.
The two rode their horses to a point, and the wind rustled and playfully blew in their ears.
Looking up, the majestic Jinling city wall is no longer visible.
"You know what happened today." Wei Yan opened his mouth.
Shen Li nodded: "Ting Rin has already told me." β
Her tone was always cold, Wei Yan turned his head to look at her uncomfortably, and felt his throat ach when he spoke: "Don't you want to talk to me?" β
"What do you want to hear from me?" Shen Li asked along with his words.
Wei Yan lowered his voice, and when he spoke, he always felt a mouthful of blood pressure in his heart: "I killed all people." β
"I know." Shen Li nodded again.
"Don't you blame me?" Wei Yan asked again.
Shen Lihu glanced at Wei Yan suspiciously and asked, "Why do you think I should blame you?" Is it just because you killed them? But which of us has not stained our hands with blood? Cousin, you're still coming down from the battlefield, and you should be better at this kind of thing than anyone else. β
"They could have lived." Wei Yan said again.
Shen Li was indifferent: "But only dead people can't speak." β
"Cousin, you want to compete with the prince for the position of the Ninety-Five, such a woman's kindness is not good." Shen Li said, raising her eyes to look at the endless wasteland in front of her, Xu felt that her voice was too cold and hard, she couldn't help but soften again, "Actually, what you did today is right, it's a good thing to be ruthless." And if they live, there is no guarantee that they will not confess you and me, and there is nothing wrong with you doing so. β
"If you really feel sorry for it, spend some money to secretly compensate their families."
What Wei Yan wanted to hear was probably just that, after hearing Shen Li finish speaking, his twisted eyebrows and eyes slowly stretched, and he rarely lost a little smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you." β
"Is Ji Xing seriously injured?"
"It's not heavy." Wei Yan said, "It's just a skin injury, just take a few days." β
Shen Li didn't doubt him, after all, Ting Rin didn't say anything to her about Ji Xing's serious injury, and after she walked with Wei Yan for a mile or two in silence, she grabbed the reins and turned her head to look at Wei Yan: "Just send it here." β
"I'll go the rest of the way."
Wei Yan raised his eyes and looked: "It's okay." But there's no hurry, and you don't have to be in a hurry. β
"Mu Zhong has always been running around from south to north, if I am not happy, wait for me to rush to Guangling, if he leaves again, what should I do?"
Wei Yan responded: "Yes, in this case, you should hurry up and get on the road, and I will take a good look at Jinling City." β
"I will never let someone with a heart hurt my uncle and aunt."
Shen Li rode on horseback, raised his eyes and looked at Wei Yan for a long time, then bent down and made a big salute: "Then it's troublesome cousin." β
