Chapter 102: Goodbye Old Friend
The identity has been exposed, although Li Xingzhi ostensibly let Ji Ying and them leave, but Ji Ying knew that Li Xingzhi would definitely send someone to follow him, if he went to find Rong Shen from the Cloud Dart Bureau now, it would be a big deal, and it would be even more unsafe to go out of the city, not to mention that there was an injured and pale Jiang Yichen. Not to mention the Ji Mansion, even Jiang Yichen's Princess Mansion has been seized, and there is no place to settle - it is really a dilemma.
Fortunately, Li Chengyu came up with an idea, and he took people to the old mansion left by Ji Xuanyi. In this way, Ji Ying finally knew that the "Jia Yuanwai" who bought the Ji family's old mansion turned out to be Li Chengyu, no wonder Duanmu Lingfeng had been tracking down for so long and there was no news.
Jiang Yichen was not lightly injured, and after another toss, he couldn't hold it anymore, he grabbed Li Chengyu's sleeve, frowned and said, "...... back"
Li Chengyu gently patted Jiang Yichen's shoulder and said, "Don't worry." ”
Listening to Li Chengyu's reassurance, Jiang Yichen really put his mind at ease, he relaxed his body and fell asleep.
Li Chengyu asked Ji Ying to stay and take care of Jiang Yichen, and he took Li Yuhan and a brother named Aqing who had been guarding the Ji family's old mansion out, and everyone carried a blade.
Ji Ying boiled hot water and cleaned Jiang Yichen's wounds, and it took about half an hour before waiting for Li Chengyu and them to come back.
Li Chengyu and Li Yuhan both had blood stains on their bodies, but the blood was not theirs, only Aqing suffered a slight shoulder injury and went straight to the side hospital to rest.
Li Chengyu changed out of his dirty clothes, walked up to Ji Ying, and comforted: "The six people sent by Li Xingzhi to follow us just now have been solved by us, and we are safe for the time being." ”
Ji Ying paused for a moment as he cleaned his bloodstained gauze hand, lowered his head and said, "He has always been cautious, can the eldest brother guarantee that the people who are following him will be cleaned up?" ”
Li Chengyu was silent for a moment and replied: "Don't worry, I have a brother around the house to take care of it, even if he comes to wash the old mansion of the Ji family again, we can withstand it." ”
Ji Ying actually had a lot to say, but when it came to her mouth, she couldn't help it, her heart was in a mess, and the gauze in her hand was about to be crumpled by her.
After coming back, Li Yuhan didn't change out of his bloody clothes, he just threw his sword aside, sat on the bench in the verandah, leaned his back against the railing, his head tilted outward, and his face was very ugly.
Li Chengyu looked at his brother from afar, and a sour feeling surged in his heart. He knows that even now, Li Yuhan still can't completely stand on the opposite side of Li Xingzhi, it's not that Li Yuhan doesn't distinguish between black and white, it's that he has valued love since he was a child. If you want to say who is the most innocent in the whole thing, it is Li Yuhan, how could he easily accept this cruel reality?
Li Chengyu turned around and walked into a side room, and immediately walked out again, with an extra wine gourd in his hand. He uncorked the bottle, put his nose to the mouth of the bottle and sniffed it, and was quite satisfied, tilted his head and took a sip, savored it for a while, and then took a big sip. wiped the wine overflowing from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and handed the wine gourd to Li Yuhan.
Li Yuhan glanced up at the eldest brother's comforting smile, and also smiled back, although this smile was a bit far-fetched. He took the gourd in his eldest brother's hand, and took a big sip of wine on his back.
I didn't expect the wine to be so strong, Li Yuhan's entire mouth felt like it was about to burn, and his face quickly turned red. He hurriedly swallowed the wine in his mouth, stood up and took the cool air, and complained to the eldest brother: "Why is your wine so strong!" It's spicy to me! ”
Li Chengyu smiled and leaned back, and it took a long time to say a complete sentence: "Dare to love your kid who can't drink!" Ha ha! Then you're still a good man! ”
Li Yuhan replied angrily: "Who said I can't drink?" I...... What alcohol haven't I drunk? I love to drink wine! Tribute wines from the Western Regions! It's that the wine you brew is not delicious! ”
"Okay, good," Li Chengyu said with a smile, "Your second son Li is a person who has seen the world, and he is naturally not used to drinking a slightly stronger rice wine like ours!" ”
Li Yuhan looked at Li Chengyu laughing at himself with a tense face, and finally couldn't hold it back, and laughed along, and drank all the rice wine in the gourd.
When Duanmu Lingfeng and Rong Shen came, it was already the hour.
Li Yuhan heard that they were coming, so he stayed at the door early to take care of it, Li Chengyu was more confident in his arrangement, and he had been boiling medicine for Jiang Yichen. Ji Ying was worried, and she didn't have the heart to do anything, so she simply sat under the porch and blew the cold wind.
Rong Shen was able to arrive safely, which made Ji Ying breathe a sigh of relief.
After not seeing each other for several months, Rong Shen became more and more temperamental. Although he only wore an ordinary black robe and a fur-collared cape today, his graceful demeanor should not be taken lightly. Xu has been overworked recently, he has lost some weight, his cheeks are more clearly lined, but his eyes are a little more energetic.
Duanmu Lingfeng did not have the spirit of the past, and even he deliberately walked behind Rong Shen and hid in the night. Ji Ying knew that Duanmu had long known the truth of what had happened back then, and knew why he was hunted down and killed in the first place, for so long, according to his bright and chivalrous nature, he must have been living in guilt for Ji Ying, although he was just a victim of the whole thing.
Ji Ying didn't want Duanmu to have any psychological burden, after all, for so many years, Duanmu had played an indispensable role by her side, and he would be the only one to rely on Miao Ju in the future, and Ji Ying would not put a sin that had nothing to do with him on him.
Because of these reasons, Ji Ying, who had been missing Duanmu, walked up to Duanmu without any scruples and made a sincere hug to him: "Brother Duanmu, long time no see!" ”
Duanmu didn't expect Ji Ying to greet him in this way, it was really a long-lost warmth, and it was a rare comfort in a turbulent and tense society. Duanmu raised his arms, hugged Ji Ying, and said in a choked voice, "Great, you are safe." ”
"Are you doing? Is Miao Miao okay? ”
"We're all good."
"All along, the people of the capital have been thanks to you for taking care of you."
"It's far less hard than what you have to do outside."
Ji Ying smiled and said, "When have you been so polite?" It's not like the Duanmu hero I know! ”
Duanmu was embarrassed for a moment, and hurriedly changed the topic: "There is something important for Gongzi Rong to risk coming over, you ...... Don't gossip with me. ”
"Yes, Ji Ying," Rong Shen smiled in his eyes and came over to relieve Duanmu, "I've been here for a long time, and I'm about to be blown away by the cool breeze, but you didn't see me." ”
Only then did Ji Ying walk up to Rong Shen, bow his hand, and say: "The situation in the capital, thanks to Brother Jinyan's strategic planning, brother is far-sighted, and the baby is ashamed of himself. ”
Rong Shen returned the salute: ""Asking the Emperor's Eldest Son" scolded heartily, I have memorized it backwards, there is such a good article, I was convinced when I lost to you!" ”
Ji Ying joked: "Are you and I so far apart? Why did they compliment each other? ”
Rong Shen also laughed, and the laughter infected Li Yuhan, who had just entered the door, and Li Chengyu, who came from the backyard.
The quiet and comfortable days are approaching in the conversation and laughter of several young people.
