Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 115 Part 2: Mine
Jiang Li saw that there’s no reversal, yet the person at the side was still light and easy, acting like a wall and just watched. With a firm resolve, she shouted without any hesitation, “Duke, I know why you want to pull relationship with the Right Minister, Cheng w.a.n.g. Now the court is divided into three, although His Majesty was at a disadvantage, he isn’t a useless person. It’s just that he is naturally suspicious. You want His Majesty to trust you alone, therefore you help Cheng w.a.n.g to rise. With a wolf at the front and a tiger behind, His Majesty will certainly be anxious and inevitably rely on you. You can become the number one court counselor because you single handedly brought the three divisions in the court!”
Jiang Li’s words were spoken hurriedly and urgently. The black dressed a.s.sa.s.sins were all stunned. What Cheng w.a.n.g, what Right Minister, what is all this?
Ji Heng’s smiling lip corner seemed to turn to ice in an instant.
As soon as her words fell, an ice cold sword appeared before her eyes. Another person thrusted a sword behind her. She would die moving forward and going to the Underworld moving backwards. All around, there was only one word, “death”!
As she was waiting for the moment, a slender hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed her shoulder and pushed her lightly to the other side.Within a short time, a bright peony bloomed, Ji Heng had opened his fan.
The front side of the fan was suddenly like a sharp knife. Jiang Li could only see the fan waving around, in between the opening and closing, the golden thread used to embroider the peony glimmered like gems. However, in no time, a loud noise sounded. The two black dressed people that were surrounding Jiang Li from the front and behind, about to kill her, fell to the ground. There was still an expression of astonishment on their faces. As if in their final moment, they were still perplexed on their cause of death.
The other black dressed people in position were temporarily stunned.
No one could even fully see how Ji Heng made his move. Ji Heng’s movements were too fast. Jiang Li had been staring at Ji Heng’s fan. She again saw the formidable power of the fan. Perhaps, it’s not the fan that’s frightening, rather it was the man before her eyes that was too formidable.
“Brothers, don’t care, go together!” The black dressed leader clenched his teeth and abruptly called the people behind to come together!
Jiang Li had barely escaped a disaster, but then saw the murderous intent from all sides. Without thinking, she immediately gripped the corner of Ji Heng’s clothes firmly. Ji Heng was a dangerous person, but the enemy of an enemy was a friend. At present, only Ji Heng could protect her safety!
Ji Heng shot a cold look at her, but still did not speak. The black dressed people had already rushed over. The corner of Ji Heng’s lip was raised in a sneer, the fan in his hand completely spread out. He used one hand to pick Jiang Li by the back collar to draw back. He moved so fast that it’s difficult for people to see. They could only distinctly see the black b.u.t.terflies dancing on the corners of his robes, bringing with it a strong and strange demonic charm.
Under the night, his figure moved extremely quickly. The fan in his hand resembled some kind of a horrible weapon. In a flash, between the closing and opening, large chunks of blood blossomed, just like the peach blossom in the fifth month. The top part of the fan gave out flickering radiance, making the back felt cold.
Tragic shouts echoed one after another in the woods. For a short time, it was like h.e.l.l on earth.
Jiang Li subconsciously stuck to Ji Heng’s side, but felt the coldness of his gown, as if he was not a person from the human world, without a trace of warmth.
It’s unknown how long had pa.s.sed before the miserable shouts outside faded away. Ji Heng’s actions also stopped.
Ji Heng’s mocking voice was heard from the top of her head, “Miss Jiang second, the field has been completely cleared.”
Jiang Li slowly loosened her hand, raised her head and looked around.
Under the moonlight, the corpses of the black dressed people were strewn disorderly, with blood blossoming on the ground. It was like the earth’s purgatory drawn in the temple’s murals.
Ji Heng killed more than ten people by himself. And only a short moment had pa.s.sed.
Jiang Li turned her head to look at Ji Heng.
The moon slowly climbed on top of the branches, as if still disliking that the situation was not scary enough. The moon shone especially bright. The pure moonlight and the filthy blood on the ground made people unable to distinguish clearly whether it was a nightmare or reality.
And Ji Heng standing among the foul blood with his red gown made people suspect if the red was dyed from the blood on the ground. But he held his folding fan as if he did not feel how all these made people feel unwell. He only looked at Jiang Li and said, “Miss Jiang second, aren’t you supposed to thank me?”
Jiang Li remained silent.
The next moment, that fan suddenly pressed against Jiang Li’s throat. Ji Heng did not come near, he even kept a certain distance from Jiang Li. However, his expression was extremely cold. From knowing Ji Heng up to now, he was always full of smiles and mischievous, even if she knew that it was his pretense. But the moment the poisonous beast showed his claws and teeth, no matter who they were would feel frightened.
Jiang Li could also feel afraid.
“Miss Jiang second, I’ve said it, I don’t like to enter the play. Why did you stubbornly pull me in?” His voice was very soft, just like the lingering whisper between lovers. It’s just that it contained an indescribable coldness, inch by inch climbing on a person’s back, making people’s back feel cold.
“There’s no way,” Jiang Li looked straight into his eyes, her voice a bit soft, as if she was feeling sincerely sorry as she continued, “I don’t want to die.”
Just then, she could clearly feel that Ji Heng truly did not plan to take action and was just about to watch from the side. She definitely must not let this happen. If Ji Heng did not move, she could only die here. Father was still in prison, the truth of Xue Zhao’s death had not yet been revealed, she must not die here. At least not now, therefore, she had to make a move.
So she could only say the secret she had discovered earlier.
It’s unknown at which moment in time, she was thinking about the relationship between Ji Heng, Cheng w.a.n.g, the Emperor and Jiang Yuan Bai when it dawned on her. There wasn’t anything particular, it just suddenly became clear to her.
The current court was split into three parts, Cheng w.a.n.g, Jiang Yuan Bai and Emperor Hong Xiao. Cheng w.a.n.g was not as stable as the present before he joined hands with the Right Minister. At that time, the court could only be regarded as divided into two factions, Jiang Yuan Bai and Emperor Hong Xiao. With the teacher and student relationship, if Jiang Yuan Bai did not give birth to a different heart, Emperor Hong Xiao also would not have too many taboos.
