Chapter 101: Not Complicating
Ji Ying didn't want her identity to be revealed, especially in front of Li Xingzhi. She has her hatred, but also her dignity. The former identity can only make her weak.
With so many innocent lives and so many torments and treks, how could she forgive the former relatives in front of her who were almost crazy?
"Sister-in-law......" Li Xingzhi stretched out his trembling hand and stepped forward, as if he wanted to touch Ji Ying.
Ji Ying's face did not change, picked up the long knife on the ground, and pressed the tip of the knife into Li Xingzhi's heart.
Li Xingzhi lowered his head solemnly, looked at the blade that should have been in his hand, lowered his hand dejectedly, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Yes, you have always wanted to kill me, since you came to the capital." β
"You...... Anything else you'd like to say? β
"Do you want me to repent before I die?"
"Shouldn't it?" Although Ji Ying's voice trembled, the strength in his hand increased a little, and the tip of the knife had already sunk into Li Xingzhi's clothes, but it had not yet pierced, "You killed so many people, and you don't have any remorse?" β
Ji Ying and Li Xingzhi's emotions are very unstable, which makes Li Chengyu and Li Yuhan a little nervous.
Li Chengyu and Li Yuhan both know the truth of what happened back then, and they also understand that whether it is because of the events of that year, or now that they are helping to abuse and assist the prince in usurping power, Li Xingzhi should be cut by a thousand knives, but as a son, psychologically, if they can really watch Li Xingzhi die and be indifferent, it is still impossible, especially when it was Ji Ying who executed Li Xingzhi.
Jiang Yichen, who has been out of control, has a very different attitude from the Li family brothers, the only thing he wants to do is to prevent Li Xingzhi, who has few opponents in the battlefield, from counterattacking, if this is the case, he will help Ji Ying mercilessly and insert that long knife into Li Xingzhi's chest.
Li Xingzhi did not resist, of course, he did not "die in anger", he just clamped the tip of the knife with the middle and index fingers of his right hand.
It seemed to be a forceless action, but it surprised everyone present, because they saw that the knife in Ji Ying's hand could no longer move forward.
Although Ji Ying is no longer the weak Ji Ying she was back then, she is helpless against Li Xingzhi's strength of two fingers, which shows that Li Xingzhi's martial arts are really unfathomable.
Li Xingzhi looked indifferent and said, "You think I will die easily? β
"It seems that you have no remorse at all."
"What does it matter if I repent or not? Damn and don't damn all of them have been killed by me, and even if I die, I won't change anything. Besides, do you think that if you kill me, you will be able to get out of the capital safely? β
"It's a big deal, I'll burn you with jade."
"Jade burning?" Li Xingzhi sneered. With a "snap" of his fingertips, he broke the knife into two sections.
Jiang Yichen was worried that Ji Ying would suffer a loss, so he had to fly up and fight hard with Li Xingzhi.
Li Yuhan clasped Jiang Yichen's collarbone with both hands and said comfortingly: "Yuanqing, you calm down first!" β
"How do I calm down? Ji Ying, she ......"
"He's right, if we really kill him here, we won't be able to get out of the capital. It's better to let him escort us out and think about it in the long run. Li Chengyu walked between Li Xingzhi and Ji Ying, took the remnant knife in Ji Ying's hand, took out the sword he was carrying, and put the blade against Li Xingzhi's neck.
Originally, Li Chengyu still had a glimmer of hope for Li Xingzhi, but it can be seen that Li Xingzhi's attitude, and his last mercy is gone. He said: "You once taught us to be loyal, filial and righteous, and to be upright and bright in doing things, but now when you look at it, it's just a joke." You are nothing but a life-fearing, sinister and cunning scum who does all kinds of evil, and does not deserve anyone's forgiveness. Yan'er, you take Xiao Huaiwang to go first, and my brother will solve the rest of the things for you. β
"Big brother!"
"Let's go, it'll be trouble if someone notices it in a while."
Li Xingzhi looked at his son, who he hadn't seen for many years, and said, "When my father helped the prince to destroy the Ji family, it was all to protect your brothers. If they hadn't taken you two hostage, how would I have ......?"
"We are not afraid of death!" Lee Seung-woo roared, "You don't need to inflict your sins on us!" Yu Han and I are both bloody men, so we don't have to save our lives with dirty transactions! Even if I don't have a sister-in-law to come back to take revenge, I will seek justice for those innocent and tragic souls! β
Li Yuhan dissuaded Jiang Yichen's hand and withdrew it.
Li Xingzhi's eyes narrowed, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly, he ordered loudly: "Left and right guards!" β
The accompanying soldiers were awakened by this deep voice, and hurriedly replied loudly: "Here!" β
"Give me ......"
"Reportβ" A government soldier ran in from outside the door in a panic and interrupted Li Xingzhi's order. Xu had never seen the scene of the dignified marquis being pointed at the neck with a sword, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak.
Li Xingzhi frowned and said, "What happened?" β
"Back to ...... Back to the Hou Ye, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to invite the Hou Ye to enter the palace immediately! β
"Did you say anything?"
"Nope."
"Who's going to deliver the message?"
"General Hou of the Forbidden Army. The brothers can't stop it, General Hou has already broken in! β
"Forbidden Army?" Li Xingzhi was a little puzzled, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he figured it out. The prince didn't come to invite early, he didn't come to invite late, but at such a critical time, someone must have saved Ji Ying, as for who this person is, the answer is self-explanatory.
Li Xingzhi turned around and said to Li Chengyu: "The forbidden army dares to blatantly ask me for someone under the banner of the crown prince, it is really bold. Let's go. β
Li Chengyu's eyebrows moved, and the hand holding the sword did not retract.
Li Xingzhi flipped in anger, he grabbed Li Chengyu's wrist with his backhand, pushed away the sword against his throat, and warned: "It's easy to kill you now." I advise you to know some current affairs, if you want to 'kill your relatives with righteousness', you must also save your life! β
Since he knew his father's personality, Li Chengyu spared no risk, but Li Xingzhi was right, Li Xingzhi still had the final say in Li Xingzhi's territory. He couldn't let everyone accompany Li Xingzhi to the funeral, especially Ji Ying and the injured Jiang Yichen. There was a meeting in the mountains and rivers, and he didn't believe that there was no other opportunity to make a break with Li Xingzhi. He withdrew his sword.
Li Yuhan is conflicted. Li Xingzhi is not an enemy of him, but a father who has raised him for more than 20 years. He cherishes his sister, but this does not mean that he is willing to mercilessly disregard Li Xingzhi's life. The contradiction between Ji Ying and Li Xingzhi, he felt that it would be better to solve it by not seeing each other. Now Qu Shao sent the forbidden army to relieve the siege, so that he could breathe a sigh of relief, so he pulled Li Chengyu to go with him.
Ji Ying was the most unwilling, she was just one step away from avenging her mother, but unfortunately she fell short, but she didn't want to see her eldest brother and second brother and Jiang Yichen accompany her to death. Yes, it seems better to let him be tried in front of a large court and confess his guilt in the future. Ji Ying comforted herself like this when she helped Jiang Yichen to leave.
The four young men walked along the familiar path in the direction of the backyard, and they were all too familiar with the way they went out through the backyard.
Li Xingzhi looked at the four young people, and subtle emotions floated in his heart. He looked around at the surrounding soldiers and ordered in an extremely cold voice, "I don't want to hear about today's events anywhere. If there is a leak, Benhou will drag your whole family to accompany the funeral! β
All the government soldiers present lowered their heads and replied, "Yes!" β
Li Xingzhi dressed up and strode out of the door.
