Chapter 1: Questioning
Jiang Qing died.
Guan Jiyu, who was lying on the bed due to serious injuries, had just woken up when he heard a commotion outside the door, and then saw his door being kicked open.
"Guan Jiyu, you now know the turtle with a shrunken head!" The people who came were violent.
As expected, it was Jiang Yingnian who hurried back.
Looking at each other, Guan Jiyu saw Jiang Yingnian's pale face, only a pair of eyes were terrifyingly scarlet, and that young face was full of exhaustion and resentment, and a lot of stubble had already grown. It's just that I haven't seen him for a year, and when I see him again, it's like this.
Jiang Yingnian looked at her viciously as if she was looking at a great enemy.
"You give my eldest brother his life!" He was like an angry beast, and every word seemed aggressive. And standing beside him, Han Xu, who had a good relationship with Guan Jiyu in the past, couldn't say anything to persuade his master to calm down at the moment, so he had to be silent.
Guan Jiyu's face turned pale, he silently got out of bed and walked in front of him, and only squeezed out one sentence for a while: "If my life can be exchanged for the eldest son, I will never hesitate for half a point." ”
She didn't know what to say at the moment, and she seemed to be able to say that only as well.
"Your life? How much can your life be worth? Jiang Yingnian did not receive this sentence, but was even more enraged, and he said disdainfully: "Your ten lives are not worthy of being compared with your eldest brother." ”
When she heard this, she knew that she had no more words.
Jiang Yingnian's voice was already crying. All his anger was beaten back to its original form at this moment, he looked at Guan Jiyu sadly, held back his tears, and said, "You said that you would protect him with your life." Guan Jiyu, why now? Why don't you keep your word? ”
Fail to keep the faith.
Those four words slammed into her heart like a hammer. Even if he slapped her a few times, she would at least feel better, but Jiang Yingnian's expression, he beat her back to hell with just a few words.
This is the only time in these years that she and Jiang Yingnian have a little resonance.
Jiang Yingnian's pain of losing her hands and feet is the same as a broken liver and intestine injury for her.
On the way back to Nanqin from Beixin, she was almost in a coma all the time, and occasionally the pain from the bumps and shocks of the road to the wound woke her up, but it was only for a moment.
It was as if she had a long, long dream.
Everything in the dream was out of her control, she was so powerless, watching Jiang Qingzhong's arrow fall. There was chaos in her ears, and she watched as the person she respected the most collapsed, his usually tall body, for a moment, as if it could no longer support that majesty, and all the chaos and shouts around him exploded wantonly, and before he could say anything, he fell heavily into the mud.
Jiang Qing loves to be clean, and Beixin is much colder than Nanqin, and he is still wearing the fox fur he wore when she first met him, and the white fur is splashed with mud spots at the moment.
She wanted to help him up and brush off the dirt for him......
As Jiang Qing fell to the ground, Guan Jiyu couldn't hear any sounds around her, her hands and feet seemed to be no longer hers, and there was a sudden dull pain in her shoulder, and she fell headlong and lost consciousness.
How good would it be to sleep all the time? Just go to sleep like this, she doesn't want to wake up.
The carriage sent by the northern military camp to bring her back was so painful that she woke up for a moment when she was close to Nanqin, and she was also shrunk and unwilling to open her eyes.
But the tears flowed uncontrollably.
Guan Jiyu felt that the soul of this body was dead, and all they sent back was her empty skin.
In this world, there is no way back for her at all.
Regarding that question, Guan Jiyu really couldn't answer Jiang Yingnian, why did she not believe her words?
Her heartfelt promises in the past now seem too light and too light.
She said that she would protect the eldest prince with her life.
But can the "certain" in the promise be achieved? For the first time, Guan Jiyu began to doubt himself. She thinks too highly of herself, she is self-righteous and confident, she was regarded as Jiang Qing's "pride" in the past - that extraordinary kung fu, she has repeatedly won the first place in various competitions on behalf of the Qingzi Battalion......
All the glory about her has become a spike that is difficult to look at this moment, piercing her heart.
How could she explain it? Should she say to Jiang Yingnian, "I fell for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain"? Should she say, "There is an enemy invasion on the side of the camp where the head of the Beixindu family sleeps, and the eldest prince ordered me to help first"?
Amusing...... It's ridiculous, isn't it? Now it seems such a ridiculous reason, how could she not think of it at the time?
Even though there are thousands of excuses, she Guan Jiyu is Jiang Qing's personal guard! There is a big reason why she shouldn't have left Jiang Qing in danger.
"I'm sorry." Guan Jiyu's heart was like ashes, "The eldest prince is gone, and I really have no reason to be in this world." ”
She jerked up the dagger sword on the table and tried to cut herself, but was knocked to the ground by Han Xu.
"Yoshiwa! Don't do anything stupid! Han Xu urged eagerly.
Jiang Yingnian's face turned blue for a while.
"Do you think you're done dead?" Jiang Yingnian said hatefully: "It's not a pity for you to die, but the Northern Lonely Army that killed my eldest brother, are you waiting for me to take revenge?!" ”
Not a single word of this was polite, but Guan Jiyu heard a little forgiveness.
He finally returned to his original appearance, willful and stubborn, and when he couldn't do it, he would definitely find a way to find a helper to achieve his goal.
But this time it's not "justified", that's what she should do.
"I won't stop you if you want to die, but you have to go with me to take revenge before you can die."
Jiang Yingnian's expression was arrogant, he was extremely tall, and he looked down on her in a condescending manner.
Guan Jiyu's face was expressionless, even if she needed to look up when she looked at him, she didn't look up at him at all. Jiang Qing has always been the pillar of this family, and now that he is gone, the second son Jiang Xian is weak and sickly, and the great responsibility of being in charge of the family definitely cannot fall on the shoulders of the second son.
Only Jiang Yingnian ...... She couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yingnian again.
This little boy of Jiangfu, she has learned something over the years.
Guan Jiyu naturally understood in his heart that avenging Jiang Qing was the top priority, but what should Jiang Fu do in the future? How should she deal with herself? She didn't have a choice.
She was a sharp blade of the Jiang family in life, and when she died, she had to be a piece of scrap metal for the Jiang family.
Jiang Qing treated her so well before her death, it was reasonable, she at least had to see the Gu Peng Army die with her own eyes before it was over.
But at the thought that from this moment on, her freedom would be temporarily owned by Jiang Yingnian, Guan Jiyu couldn't help frowning.
Han Xu's voice pulled her thoughts back, and he said to Jiang Yingnian: "Childe, you still need to go to the capital to see for yourself, and Mrs. Du, who was accompanying her at that time, also unfortunately passed away in the chaos. ”
Jiang Yingnian nodded and said, "I'll go over immediately." He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "The northern lonely ...... If you don't take revenge, I don't have the surname Jiang! ”
"Mrs. Du...... Was he also killed by the Lone Army? Third son, can I go to the capital together? Hearing the news, Guan Jiyu felt a faint pain in his heart.
Jiang Yingnian sneered and said, "What? After hearing about your former master, can't you bear it like this? My eldest brother really has a good dog! ”
Han Xu's eyebrows moved slightly, thoughtfully.
However, Guan Jiyu did not react to such insulting words.
Jiang Yingnian was even more angry when she saw her so submissive, and couldn't help but be weird and said, "You are just a dog that can't be fed." The cold in the north is extremely cold, and it can't resist you Guan someone rushing to visit the old master? ”
Guan Jiyu was rejected and felt a sense of loss in his heart.
"If you have to worry about others, it's better to take care of your body first. Although you have a cheap life, don't forget whose food you are eating now, and who should you die for? If it weren't for you, my eldest brother wouldn't have ......."
"Forget it, Han Xu, let's go."
Jiang Yingnian's words came to his mouth and swallowed again. He was naturally dissatisfied with her, kicked the stool next to him, and went out.
Old Master ......
Guan Jiyu knew that Jiang Yingnian's use of this word was ill-intentioned, obviously he did not have any personal grudges with the capital of the Beixin family, but if Guan Jiyu was associated with the capital, he would definitely have a death-like weirdness of yin and yang.
He mocked her past, mocked the capital for not wanting her, and she still looked like a loyal and unswerving slave.
Guan Jiyu lay back on the bed and began to think about the bits and pieces of these years. In all fairness, Du Yuanqiao gave her a life-saving ration, but Jiang Qing opened the skylight of her life and gave her the first light of her life.
Guan Jiyu never blamed Du Yuanqiao in his heart, and even thanked him for his kindness. She understands the rules in the capital, young age is not a reason, Du Yuanqiao is a person who only looks at the results.
At that time, she had been sick for a long time, not that Duyuanqiao did not give her enough time, but that she was not angry.
No one will do good deeds for no reason, and the capital is not a "soup kitchen" that can help them permanently. Among that group of children, she is the only one with the best qualifications for Chopping Wind, but the capital only needs a night whistle with a personal guard.
Fittest.
There is no way for a person like her, who has no power, no power and no support.
