Chapter 6
Xue Li's body has a light sweet fragrance, like the smell of sweet wine.
She raised her face, tears sliding from her cheeks to her chin, and finally fell on Wei Jie's bewildered hands. The tears were obviously cold, but they seemed to be filled with scorching heat, causing his pupils to shrink suddenly, and then he quickly and forcefully removed the hand that was holding his sleeve. The moment Wei Jie touched her through her clothes, he felt her trembling.
"Wei Jie?"
The few people who followed Xue Li stopped. The leader was Xia Houxin, the son of the Taiwei. The rest of them all came from famous families. They relied on their power to be arrogant and domineering. Their reputation in Luoyang has always been bad. .
When Xue Li heard Xia Houxin's voice, his body immediately trembled, and he looked at Wei Jie with tears in his eyes. He did not dare to touch him again, so he could only call out in a low voice: "Cousin..."
Wei Jie's face was calm. He didn't say any words of blame, but just glanced sideways at Jin Qing and Jin Zheng.
The two of them suddenly felt guilty and did not dare to look at his expression. After all, neither of them had stopped Xue Li in the first place, and they allowed her to catch him for a while without trying to pull him away.
Wei Li was also shocked and speechless. He stared at the tearful Xue Li with wide eyes, and then looked at Xia Houxin and others.
"You ran away before you even did anything. Didn't you seduce me first?" Xia Houxin's tone was frivolous, but his expression was not good. When he saw a beautiful woman coming towards her, she looked like she was not dressed as a daughter of a noble family, and he felt a little itchy in his heart. Unexpectedly, before he could take action, the person fell into his arms. Just when he was asked to hold on, a wisp of sweet fragrance penetrated into his nose, making his bones tingle. It's not a deliberate attempt to seduce him. If he puts it on his lips, there's no reason to regret it when he comes again. Isn't it just teasing him?
Xue Li's face flushed angrily, his fingers were trembling, and he looked at them in shock and fear. "It was my fault that I accidentally bumped into Mr. Lang. I have already made amends. If Mr. Lang is not satisfied, I can say it a thousand times again and ask Mr. Lang not to taint others' innocence." Xia Houxin's friend behind him smiled
. He stood up and joked: "You should obey him. He is the second son of the Taiwei Mansion. He will never treat you badly." "If you want to
compensate, just use yourself to compensate. Just talk is nothing." Xia Houxin said Then he walked towards her.
Xue Li dug her nails into her palms and looked at him approaching with a pale face. At this moment, Wei Jie, who had been silent for a long time, took a step forward and stood in front of her.
"Don't be afraid."
His tone was calm and calm, and seemed to be a little helpless. These few words were enough to dissipate all Xue Li's uneasiness at the moment.
"Wei Jie, don't meddle in other people's business." Xia Houxin's steps faltered, and his face immediately turned gloomy. "What does it have to do with you? Is it possible that you also have a crush on her?"
Before Wei Jie could answer, Wei Li said angrily: "Xia Houxin, didn't you hear her call me brother and cousin just now?" The look on
Wei Jie's face There was not much emotion to be seen, his tone was quite gentle, and he was not angry because of Xia Houxin's provocation. "It's just a misunderstanding. Why would Mr. Xiahou force himself on a weak woman?"
Xiahou Xin's face turned particularly ugly when he heard Wei Li's words. How did he know that this woman was related to the Wei family? If so, why would she tease him? Thinking of this, he looked fiercely at Xue Li, who was still sobbing softly. There was an unknown fire in his heart, but he couldn't help but doubt. Could it be that he really bumped into him accidentally?
Thinking of this, Xia Houxin knew that he was in the wrong and felt that he had lost face in front of his friends. He couldn't help but sneered and said, "I am from the Wei family. No wonder he is so pretentious and frustrated."
Wei Li was angry and was about to speak out. Theory, Wei Jie said calmly: "Don't pay attention to him, let's go back."
He turned around and saw Xue Li biting his lip in grievance, as if biting it to draw blood, his eyes were red from crying.
Wei Jie didn't like to hear crying, but the sobbing sound that Xue Li was hiding behind him just now was very small, like the grunting of a young animal, so it wasn't too disturbing. His eyes swept over Xue Li's lips, he frowned slightly and said, "It's okay."
Wei Li also comforted her: "You just called me brother and cousin? Then you are my second uncle's niece." ?"
Xue Li nodded, as if belatedly remembering the offense just now, and apologized to Wei Jie again. "Young Master...just now, I was too scared just now, so I bumped into you. I'm sorry...Thank you so much for helping me again regardless of your previous grudges."
Wei Li said with a smile: "Didn't you call me cousin just now? Are you getting angry now? Are you going to stop recognizing someone after helping me?"
"Ms. Li, you don't dare!" Xue Li hurriedly denied it, then glanced at Wei Jie timidly and said, "The two young masters are more noble than Yunxia, Li. Mother doesn't dare to reach out... It was just a moment of impatience. I hope you don't blame Mother Oriole." "
No, it's just a title, not an offense." Wei Jie looked gentle and had no intention of arguing with her. "It's human nature to help you, no need to thank me, just go back early."
Xue Li finally figured it out. Although Wei Jie seemed to be distant from others, she was actually a bit gentle in temperament. She might be able to go further.
She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes wet with tears trembling slightly, and her fingers tightly clenched the corners of her clothes. "Then can I still call the eldest young master my cousin?"
Wei Jie was silent for a moment. She raised her face to look at him, the tip of her nose was red from crying, and she looked like she would cry immediately if he said no.
Xue Li sighed softly when he heard him, and then said: "Okay."
Wei Li pointed at himself and said with a smile, "What about me?"
Xue Li blinked and said, "Erlang Jun."
Wei Li laughed out loud: "Although I'm not as good as my brother, you can't treat one with favoritism. It's really sad." "You
already have a second cousin. If my husband is willing, Mother Li will have to call you fourth cousin."
Wei Li waved his hand and said helplessly: "Fourth cousin sounds weird, you should call me husband."
Wei Jie watched the two people talking and reminded him: "Wei Li, it's getting late."
Wei Li nodded and said: "In that case, I'll leave first."
Wei Jie looked at Jin Qing and said, "Send this lady back."
He paused after speaking, and his tone was comforting. "If Xiahou and the others make trouble for you again, my uncle's camp is not far from here, and he will not sit idly by and ignore it."
Xue Li hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Has Ms. Li made my cousin upset..."
" Why did you say that?"
"My cousin won't let Madam Li come to look for you, so she can only look for uncle..." Xue Li didn't know what he thought of, and his expression became a bit sad. "Ms. Li is now living under someone else's roof. People in the house don't like me very much. I don't even have anyone to talk to when I come here. I'm always annoying... Fortunately, my cousin is still willing to help. I can't thank you enough... ..."
Wei Jie guessed that she had been wronged and had no one to tell her. Now that she saw someone he knew, he couldn't help but talk to her and listened to her in silence.
As expected, Xue Li said a few words, then immediately showed an annoyed expression and said hurriedly: "I made a mistake. Cousin, please just treat me as nonsense. "It's not that you are annoying
. "After Wei Jie said this, he felt that the person in front of him was giving him a headache, and he said helplessly: "It's just that I'm not here often. Your uncle is the minister, so Xiahou and the others dare not embarrass you. "
Xue Li's eyes looked straight at him, and the firelight danced in her eyes, making her eyes look a bit strange, just like the soul-stirring monster in the story book. "Cousin, I don't hate Ms. Li. ? "
Wei Jie's face was half hidden in the shadows. His face was still gentle and gentle, but his eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
"I don't hate it. "
Jin Qing sent Xue Li away. Wei Jie returned to the camp and glanced at the sleeves that Xue Li had tightly grasped. There seemed to be some creases left.
He silently took off his robe and placed it beside the table. Then a waiter brought him water to clean his hands.
After wiping off the moisture with a dry handkerchief, he glanced at the robe again without noticing. A face with hazy eyes appeared in his mind uncontrollably, and the delicate and sad voice seemed to ring in his ears.
Wei Jie paused, couldn't help but frown, and said: "Jin Zheng, take out the clothes."

Chapter 7
Jin Qing escorted Xue Li back to the camp and then went back. When Yin Deng saw Xue Li, whose bun was slightly disheveled and his face was wet, he immediately exclaimed: "Who bullied the lady?
" Li sat down tiredly, thinking of the scene where Xia Houxin pulled his sleeve just now, he still felt a little frightened. Fortunately, she found out that Wei Jie would go back to rest on time at night, so she seizes the time to lure him over. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time for these dirty guys to tease him.
She asked Yin Deng to wait nearby. If she really couldn't get away, she would be able to find someone to protect her after just a few shouts. It's just that this time, because of Wei Jie, I offended several family members who were not easy to mess with. If I can't get his protection in the future, I'm afraid I won't be very comfortable.
The more Xue Li thought about it, the more exhausted he felt, and he just wanted to get into the bed and have a good sleep. "Yin Deng, go get a basin of water. I want to wash up."
After the tears on his face were washed away, Xue Li changed out of his clothes, sat in front of the desk, took out a pen and paper, and copied poems under the dim candlelight.
Yin Deng saw it and couldn't help but said: "My wife is so hard-working."
Xue Li smiled and laughed at himself: "If you are not talented enough, you can only be more diligent." Otherwise, you will always fall behind others and you will be left behind. Underfoot.
Jin Qing sent Xue Li away and went back to resume his duties. He opened the tent curtain and walked in to see Wei Jie sitting at the table reading a book. There were many candles lit in the tent, and it felt like he was in the middle of the day when he walked in.
Wei Jie was sitting there, wearing a snow-white robe, with loose black hair flowing on his shoulders, hiding half of his face under the shadow.
There is no smoke or smoke at all, just like a statue of a sitting god.
Jin Qing thought of the shock and helplessness that flashed across his face when the woman just threw herself into Wei Jie's arms, and suddenly felt that it was a good thing that he didn't draw his sword to stop him.
Hearing the noise, Wei Jie did not raise his eyes, but said quietly: "Next time, I will go and receive the punishment myself." "
I know my mistake." Jin Qing answered neatly, but there was no expression of knowing his mistake on his face.
He and Jin Zheng served Wei Jie for a long time. Wei Jie was kind to others, never harsh on them, and often rewarded them. It's just that after being a master and servant for so long, he still inexplicably feels that there is a layer between Wei Jie and everyone else, and they are no exception. It was really rare to see his calm face crack tonight.
Thinking of the slender figure of the creator in the cold wind, Jin Qing couldn't help but say: "This cousin looks a little pitiful. She can't make friends in the house, and she is alone here. No wonder she was targeted by Xia Houxin. "
Wei Jie raised his eyes and looked at him, without any sympathy on his face.
"Not necessarily."
Jin Qing was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Jin Zheng: "Isn't this pitiful?"
Jin Zheng was lowering his head and concentrating on wiping his precious long knife. Hearing this, he only glanced at him and quickly lowered his head to continue what he was doing.
Wei Jie neatly folded the written letter and handed it to Jin Qing: "Send it to your uncle." When
Jin Qing walked out of the camp, the cold wind blew Sliding in from outside the tent through the gap, the light and shadow in the room suddenly swayed with the wind. Wei Jie's shadow was stretched very long by the candlelight. When the wind blew in, the shadow twisted and trembled, like an evil ghost with teeth and claws. The moment the wind stopped, it returned to impermanence, and it was still dark and silent.
The next day, after everything was packed up, the real hunting began. This is a hunting ground exclusively for the royal family, and everything is fully prepared.
Although the ladies of the Wei family have been taught to be dignified and elegant since childhood, they are also asked to learn riding and shooting, but there are very few ladies who are really willing to mount a horse. Most of them also let the attendants lead the horses, and they sat on the horses and walked slowly twice.
Xue Li walked with several ladies, and when he was almost at the racecourse, he deliberately slowed down again.
Wei Jie in the distance was very conspicuous. Even if there were many people standing around him, Xue Li could still easily find him at a glance.
Wei Huan, the legitimate son of the second wife, was having a good time with his friends. When he saw Wei Jie from a distance, he immediately calmed down and winked at the brothers on the side. Several people followed him and respectfully stepped forward to salute Wei Jie.
Wei Jie nodded slightly and said, "Since we are out for fun, there is no need to be too restrained."
After saying that, he saw several women in beautiful dresses approaching behind them. Xue Li was young and not yet tall. Open, standing in the crowd looks even more delicate. She seemed to be left behind. She held up her skirt and ran over to catch up with her companion. She stopped a few steps away. She looked very hesitant, as if she didn't dare to get closer. In the end, she slowed down and followed silently. .
Wei Jie was about to retract his gaze, but Xue Li raised his head and searched around for something. His eyes suddenly fell on his position, and then the frustration on his face was wiped away, and his eyes seemed to be shining, as if he had caught something. Treasure, the expression on his face became joyful.
He pursed his thin lips slightly, looked at her calmly, and then looked away lightly.
Xue Li, on the other side, sneered in his heart and kept a smile on his face. Wei Jie was indeed the most difficult person she had ever encountered. She wanted to get into Liang Yan's heart. Now that he was engaged, of course she couldn't blatantly seduce him, and she could only wait until he couldn't hold back anymore. As for Wei Jie, no matter how arrogant he is, as long as he wavers a little, she can be mistaken for a third.
Xue Li knew that she had nothing to offer, but she was born beautiful. If she could use it well, beauty could be like force and wealth in getting her what she wanted.
The next moment, the racecourse suddenly became noisy. Xue Li looked toward the source and saw a man galloping on a horse with a woman in his arms. He didn't care at all about the frightened and changed cry of the person in his arms, and allowed the hem of her skirt to fly up in the wind, revealing her white legs.
There was silence all around, no one came to stop him, and there was not even much surprise on his face, as if he had already become accustomed to the scene in front of him.
When they were gone, Xue Li heard someone in front of him whisper, "Who is your Majesty carrying in your arms?"
The tone was quite sympathetic.
"Does she look like Miss Xiao?"
After finishing speaking, someone sighed.
The emperor had already ridden away, leaving a trail of dust behind. A line of guards were chasing him behind. The scene looked quite comical.
Xue Li looked over and found that many people were heading towards Wei Jie. She followed silently, and suddenly several people came on horseback. They slowed down as they approached Wei Jie. The leader was Liang Yan. He was wearing a pale round-collared robe and had a quiver on his back. The high-spirited appearance is particularly eye-catching.
At this moment, his face was reddish, his breathing was a little unsteady, and his hair was hanging messily in front of his forehead. He looked at Wei Jie condescendingly, picked up a fox, shook it, and said, "I just hunted it, how do you think?"
Wei Jie chuckled: "Your Majesty is good at archery."
Liang Yan's face did not show a look of pride due to his praise, and then continued: "I want to use it to make a fur collar for Zhou Suyin."
Wei Jie was still a man. He is so happy that he can’t make any mistakes. "Your Majesty, you have your heart."
Liang Yan glanced at him as if he had punched cotton with his fist, sighed and stopped entangled, and then the woman in scarlet clothes got off her horse, suddenly took out a flower branch and threw it at Wei Jie.
Wei Jie didn't pick it up, the flower branch fell on him and fell to his feet. The woman was not ashamed, she shrugged generously and looked at her friend: "I said Lan Zhang wouldn't pick it up, but now I believe it."
The people in front of Xue Li snickered quietly, with some disdain and sighs. "The Lord of Hengzhang County still refuses to give up. My cousin doesn't even pay attention to the princess, let alone her." "
Didn't she just accept two faces into the house, and she dared to come here to miss Wei Langjun, so frivolous and dissolute , so shameless."
Xue Li didn't pay attention to their words. She just stared at the fox in Liang Yan's hand. She held her breath deep in her heart and her throat was severely clogged. She couldn't help but feel irritable when she saw Wei Jie's face again. , I just feel more and more depressed.
Shortly after noon, people who went hunting came back with their prey. On the huge bonfire was roasted venison that was sizzling with oil. Someone skinned the prey and bled it on the spot. The intestines and intestines were all over the floor. Seeing the scene made Xue Li's stomach churn. . She came forward for Wei Jie's sake, but unexpectedly she didn't find him among them.
She breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the camp, thinking about how to find an excuse to see Wei Jie. Not long after she walked into the tent, there was a sudden banging sound outside, as if something had hit the tent. Yin Deng was so frightened that he screamed, and the noises seemed to have received feedback and became more intense.
Xue Li's face was very ugly. The next moment he suddenly thought of something, raised his eyebrows slightly, and strode towards the outside of the tent. After opening the tent, he saw a dazzling red ball on the ground. The disemboweled rabbit lay on the ground, its gray down was clotted with blood, and its head had been viciously cut off, almost stepping on her.
Xue Li was so disgusted that she froze in place. Before she could react, a stone suddenly hit her shoulder.
Seeing her come out, several men dressed as attendants dispersed in a hurry. She didn't have to think about it to know who sent it, but it came at the right time.
Yin Deng was too frightened to move in the tent. Suddenly he heard Xue Li's frightened scream and hurried out to see her. Xue Li was seen squatting on the ground covering his face, his shoulders shaking violently, and a few steps away there was a rabbit with a miserable death look. Yin Deng was so frightened that he took a step back, took a breath of air, and hurriedly patted Xue Li on the back to comfort her: "Madam, don't be afraid, I will call someone to take away this unlucky thing..."
Xue Li raised his head while wiping his tears. When she raised her face, Yin Deng saw a broken skin wound on her forehead. Although it was very shallow, it was enough to make people angry. "Who did this?"
Yin Deng's heart suddenly burst into flames, and he said angrily: "I'm going to find my wife's uncle. Our wife is kind to others, but who's in the eyes? Who can be so evil-hearted and bully others like this!" Xue Li faced
. With tears still hanging on his face, he shook his head and said: "Uncle should not be in the tent at this moment..." Yin Deng
said angrily: "Then go and find the eldest son. He is an upright man, and he must not be able to see someone insulting my wife like this."
Out of pity, he didn't hesitate to hit himself with a stone, but unexpectedly he missed it and Wei Jie was not in the tent at all.
Although it was just a light touch, she couldn't help but worry that it would leave scars. Besides, Xia Houxin was really annoying. If he got worse at night, she might not be able to live in peace. Thinking of this, she felt more and more unworthy, and there was no need to pretend the loss on her face.
Yin Deng said a few words of comfort. Wei Li, who was not far away, walked out of the camp. He happened to see Xue Li looking extremely aggrieved, so he approached her and asked her: "What are you looking for for brother? He won't be back for a while." ."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Li saw Xue Li's eyes that were red from crying and the obvious scratches on his forehead. His voice suddenly sank and he asked, "Who did it?"
Xue Li's tears suddenly poured out uncontrollably. , Yin Deng angrily talked about what happened just now. After hearing this, Wei Li also had a dark face and said angrily: "What a Xia Houxin. He is so narrow-minded and only cares about weak women. Don't be afraid, I will definitely deal with this matter." I'll seek justice for you..."
"Where have you gone, my eldest son? Why aren't you here?"
Wei Li thought that she immediately thought of looking for Wei Jie, but he was not there. She must have felt aggrieved in her heart, so he explained for Wei Jie: "Brother likes to climb, so he should have gone to the top of the mountain ahead to enjoy the scenery."
Xue Li responded humbly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Erlang."
Wei Li comforted Xue Li a few more words and ordered someone to add a few more guards outside her tent.
Xue Li walked back slowly, the tears on her face had dried. She turned to look at the mountain pointed by Wei Li and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
She didn't want to hit herself in vain, she had to see Wei Jie today.

Chapter 8
The wind on the top of the mountain was very strong, and Wei Jie's robe was blown loudly. His wide frost-white sleeves were raised high, like a graceful white crane spreading its wings.
Looking down from a high place, you can have a panoramic view of the rivers and mountains.
It's the good time of spring, and the green forest is mixed with pink and white flowers and trees. Birds fly through the forest and occasionally chirp. The magnificent scenery in front of you makes people feel relaxed and happy just by looking at it.
Jin Qing and Jin Zheng stood not far behind Wei Jie. When they saw him holding Qin and sitting down on the cushion, their rustling conversation stopped.
After a while, the deep and distant music of the piano came from the valley, like water falling in a cold pool in the deep mountains, making people hold their breath and dare not make a sound to disturb them.
Wei Jie is as abstinent as his father, and playing music and climbing are among his few hobbies. Whether he is looking down from a high place or playing the piano alone, he will feel calm physically and mentally. It seemed that only at these times, his whole body was empty, as if a howling cold wind passed through his body, making him feel that all the dirty and noisy things were temporarily far away from him at this moment.
But the calm didn't last long, and was broken by a sudden exclamation.
The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and the buzzing sound was like the collision of swords.
The guard noticed the noise early in the morning and looked there intently, but he didn't expect that the person leaning out half of his body would be Xue Li.
Xue Li's fair cheeks were stained with a thin layer of red, and her chest was heaving violently due to her rapid breathing. Because she had disturbed Wei Jie's interest, she looked a little apologetic at the moment, and she felt guilty about being discovered.
The mountain was quite high, and Xue Li spent a lot of time climbing to the top. At this moment, his whole body was feeling hot and his legs were a little sore. The mountain road was narrow and obscured by weeds, making it difficult to distinguish. She had fallen countless times along the way. Her sleeves and skirt were covered in mud, and some places were even scratched by branches. When she was halfway there, she was full of resentment, but she didn't want to give up halfway and suffer in vain, so she had to force herself to climb to the top of the mountain. She scolded Wei Jie over and over in her heart several times on the way. If Wei Jie was not there when she reached the top of the mountain, she would definitely I have to scold him a hundred times to feel better.
Fortunately, she followed the sound of the piano and found the person, and her resentment subsided a little.
When Wei Jie saw it was her, he frowned slightly and asked, "You came to see me?"
Jin Qing looked at Xue Li no longer sympathetically, but with a bit of vigilance, until she clenched her sleeves Wei Jie said timidly: "Er Langjun said that my cousin is here, I just... I just don't know where to stay... Among the people here, only my cousin treats me the best." Seeing
Wei Jie, he didn't say anything and just looked at him calmly. As she spoke, her tone became urgent, as if she was about to cry next moment. "I know I shouldn't disturb my cousin. I won't say anything and just sit far away. Don't let my cousin get angry."
Wei Jie carefully put the piano away, straightened up and looked at her.
Somehow, being stared at by this man's kind eyes, she felt frightened in her heart, and for some reason she didn't dare to look at him.
He guessed it right away and asked her in a gentle voice: "Is someone giving you a hard time?"
Wei Jie's voice was calm and did not mean to blame, but Xue Li's body froze for a moment, and the feelings in his heart became complicated. No wonder there are so many people who admire him, but most of them only admire him from a distance. This man was so weird. When he looked at her, even if he said words of concern, there was not much emotion in his eyes, which made her feel like she was an insignificant insect being looked at carelessly by him.
Xue Li shook off the strange thoughts in his mind and spoke aggrievedly about what Xia Houxin and the others had done.
It wasn't until Wei Jie's eyes fell on her bruised area that she seemed to suddenly remember the injury on her forehead. She hurriedly covered it with her hands, and then said in a low mood: "It's a small injury, it doesn't matter." "If
I No, Wei Li can help you. I will inform the Taiwei about this after I get down from the mountain, and I won’t let Xia Houxin pester me any longer." Wei Jie’s words had a comforting meaning, but they also told her to go to Wei Li, not him. the meaning of.
Xue Li lowered his head and spoke in a weak voice. "Cousin is different... Mother Li feels at ease when she is by my cousin's side."
Only Wei Jie could hear these words. He was slightly startled and said in a deep voice: "The mountain road is difficult, you don't have to be like this." "
I am willing to do so. ", she answered decisively and resolutely, paused, and then said: "And it's worth it."
Wei Jie smiled helplessly. "In that case, I can't say it anymore, but I won't do it next time."
Xue Li nodded and finally smiled.
She faced the mountain wind, and her peach-pink clothes were blown back, outlining her slim body. A strand of black hair flowed down her shoulders and fell into her loose clothes. Wei Jie silently looked away and said, "It's windy on the top of the mountain and your clothes are thin. Go back early.
" Cousin, go back together."
Wei Jie originally didn't want to stay at the top of the mountain for too long. The mountain road here is rugged and difficult to navigate. It would be even harder to go down the mountain if it gets dark.
He nodded and said hello.
Yin Deng watched silently not far away, her heart already filled with turmoil. She never expected that Xue Li and Wei Jie were so familiar with each other and could even act coquettishly towards him without restraint. If Mrs. Yao knew about it, she would definitely scold her again.
Xue Li knew the rules, so he didn't stick to Wei Jie when he went down the mountain. He only occasionally asked about trivial matters to get closer to him. Then mention her likes and dislikes appropriately so that Wei Jie can have an impression of her.
"The seabass in the house is very good. I didn't like fish and shrimp before, but I got abdominal pain after eating it, and I got a lesson from my mother." Xue Li followed him with her skirt in hand, lowered her head and paid attention to her feet, pretending not to notice. Wei Jie in front had stopped and bumped into his back.
She let out a soft cry and turned to one side. Wei Jie reached out to hold her arm, and immediately let go of her when she stood firmly. He didn't stop for a moment, so restrained that Xue Li couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Before Xue Li could react, an arrow suddenly shot through the air. With a snap, it was firmly nailed to the branch a few steps ahead. The force was so strong that the arrow body had passed through most of the branch.
Xue Li was so shocked that his breath stagnated, but Wei Jie's guards had already reacted and immediately drew their swords to protect Wei Jie.
One arrow missed and another arrow hit. Wei Jie took the piano, blocked Xue Li behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Let me go first." Soon the
sound of rustling footsteps sounded in the quiet forest. Listening to it at this moment Jingren was extremely flustered. Xue Li looked pale and did not dare to run away. He could only follow Wei Jie closely. I don't know if there are any assassins ahead, so they can only go another way.
In panic, Yin Deng tripped and fell. He was in so much pain that he couldn't get up for a while. Jin Qing picked him up. He had to say to Xue Li, "Madam, let's go first. I will protect you."
Xue Li was still hesitant at first. Do you want to help me? After hearing what he said, I immediately felt relieved and followed Wei Jie without looking back.
This road can no longer be called a road. The weeds and shrubs are almost as high as her waist. When walking, she has to be careful not to scratch her face by the thorns.
She was originally worried about whether there were snakes in the grass, but now she was even more worried about whether she could go out with Wei Jie.
At first, Wei Jie heard the people behind him asking him fearfully what was going on, and then firmly saying that she did not regret going up the mountain to look for him. Then the longer she walked, the more silent she became, making him curious as to how long she could endure it.
As expected, Xue Li still asked, with uncontrollable suspicion and anxiety in his tone.
"Cousin...can we really go out?"
Originally he could, but now that the sky was getting dark, he couldn't nod and say yes.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and in addition to their footsteps in the mountains and forests, weird birdsong could be heard from time to time. Xue Li followed Wei Jie in silence, only to realize that he was walking a little disorganized. He didn't know whether it was because he was impatient or something else. He almost tripped over vines several times and even bumped into a branch lying in front of him. However, the piano in his arms has not been discarded.
Xue Li stared at his back impatiently, still holding his broken piano.
Normally, when she saw a flawless person like Wei Jie being so anxious that he made a mistake, she would have sneered harshly. However, in such a barren mountain and wilderness, with assassins of unknown origin chasing him, she really couldn't laugh. , and even began to regret the behavior of coming to him today.
She did want to seduce Wei Jie, but she didn't want to risk her life for it.
Seeing the moon above his head, Xue Li sighed secretly and wanted to find his way over Wei Jie. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, Wei Jie suddenly tilted his body and tumbled down the mountain unprepared.
"Cousin!" Xue Li called him in desperation, but she could only watch as he and his piano suddenly disappeared in front of her eyes.

Chapter 9:
The weeds grow haphazardly. If you are not careful, you will step on them. What looks like flat ground may turn out to be a cliff.
Xue Li was so anxious that he stamped his feet on the spot, wishing he could point at Wei Jie and curse him. It was not so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, so why did he flip down the hillside? It was good now, it was already dark, and she was standing alone in this barren mountain. Who knew if she could find a way out.
Wei Jie fell from a place like this. If she managed to survive the fall, and his bodyguards were unreliable, wouldn't she be dead if the assassins caught up with her? Besides, it was dark and cold in the mountains, and there might be wild wolves.
Xue Li was so anxious that he was already thinking about how to leave himself alone after leaving Wei Jie and leaving the mountain.
The hillside is not too steep, at least not far enough to kill someone. After Wei Jie slipped a certain distance, he reached out and grabbed a tree trunk, stopping himself on a gentle slope. Then he slowly found a flat place, placed the piano on the ground, slowly smoothed the messy robes, and patted away the dust and leaves from his hair.
Although he had a rough guess about the terrain here, it was far from enough to avoid injury. The thorns and branches on the hillside were equally uncomfortable. He knew without looking that he must be in a very embarrassed state now.
Wei Jie calmly sat down on the ground, then played with his piano and used his hands to check whether there was any damage.
At this moment, Xue Li should have turned pale with fright. After some hesitation, he decided to leave him behind.
Thinking of this, his expression remained indifferent. I don’t know who sent the assassin. It was really a stupid thing to choose to assassinate during the spring hunting. Soon the Wei family's people will lead their troops to look for him in the mountains, and he only needs to wait quietly in the mountains for a while. As for Xue Li, if she continues to walk forward, if she is unlucky, she will run into an ambush assassin. Maybe she will die, maybe not.
No matter what, it's fate.
One of the strings was broken and the body of the instrument was dented.
Wei Jie's blood-stained hand gently stroked the piano, and a trace of regret finally appeared on his always calm face.
"What a pity."
He sat for a while, and heard some slight noises behind him. At first he thought they were caused by the mountain wind or birds, but when he listened carefully, he found that the rustling sound was uninterrupted. , getting closer and closer to him.
Wei Jie reached his hand to the bottom of the piano body, where a dagger was hidden.
"Cousin!"
Xue Li called out in surprise, slid down the slope and quickly ran to Wei Jie's side.
He was stunned for a moment, then took his hand back and pressed it on the broken string.
Xue Li carefully grabbed the tree trunk and slid down the hillside. She was shocked and scared. Now that she finally found Wei Jie, she was so happy that she almost cried with joy.
"Fortunately, you're okay." She said with concern, holding Wei Jie's arm tightly with both hands. "You really scared me to death just now."
Hearing Xue Li's voice, Wei Jie was stunned for a moment. It was indeed unexpected that Xue Li would come to him, but it was not impossible. No matter what her purpose was in deliberately seducing him, it was not enough to make her willing to take risks.
Realizing this, Wei Jie couldn't help frowning and asked her: "Why don't you leave first?"
Xue Li couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard what he said.
Naturally, she wanted to leave, but after only walking a few steps, she still felt uneasy with her conscience, so she suddenly made the stupid decision to look for him. If he was really fine, they would definitely be able to get closer after sharing the difficulties. But who would have thought that this hillside was so difficult to walk on, and the thorns scratched her in agony. She even accidentally let a broken branch cut a bloody wound on her arm and wrist.
"How could Ms. Li leave her cousin behind and leave alone? She said she would follow her... These words will always count, unless you are tired of Ms. Li..." Xue Li's voice became smaller and smaller at the end.
Wei Jie has met many people like Xue Li. There are some smart people who rely on their beauty to seduce him. He doesn't care what the purpose is. It's just for power, money, or illusory love.
Xue Li's method was not superb, but Wei Jie saw it as if he was observing a slightly interesting bird. If the bird just chirped harmlessly twice, he would take it as a joke. If it made a noise that made him unhappy, he would also lose interest.
"You shouldn't have come." Wei Jie said quietly.
When Xue Li heard what he said, he stared at him with a rather resentful look, and his tone was soft and pitiful, "Cousin, don't say such things, you are so injured, we'd better go out early." Wei Jie didn't like to add to worries
. Qin, whom he had been protecting tightly just now, was abandoned by him without hesitation, without even looking back.
Xue Li had no intention of asking him where the assassin came from. A wealthy family like the Wei family is closely linked to the stability of a country. It is not surprising no matter who they become enemies with. Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.
Xue Li thought that instead of staying where he was and waiting to be found by the assassin, it was better to take the initiative and go down the mountain first. Wei Jie did not object, but followed her slowly.
Xue Li whispered from the front: "What should I do if there are wild wolves in this mountain? I always felt that I heard a strange noise just now..." What she
said this time was true, but Wei Jie did not respond to her immediately.
Xue Li turned his head and looked back, only to realize that Wei Jie was walking too slowly, and she was accidentally left ten steps away.
She couldn't help but frown, and just as she was about to walk towards Wei Jie, she saw that he suddenly tripped over a raised tree root on the ground and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he held on to the tree trunk beside him to steady himself.
It was indeed dark in the mountain forest, but it was not so dark that he couldn't see the road at all. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't even notice his feet.
Before Xue Li could say anything, she saw Wei Jie walking up to the hanging branches and leaves without any bias. The branches and leaves hit him in the face, and he didn't even try to avoid them.
She finally realized something was wrong, so she silently took a few steps back and stood at the crooked root of the tree, waiting for him.
Wei Jie's steps were still leisurely, and he didn't seem to have any discomfort. However, the protruding tree roots under his feet once again tripped him. This time, he only swayed slightly, and Xue Li exclaimed and stepped forward to support him. .
It's more like a hug than a support.
Wei Jie stumbled forward, and Xue Li went up to meet him, helplessly holding his shoulders and chest.
"Cousin, be careful." Her black hair was cold, and the moment Wei Jie leaned forward, his lips touched her hair. He raised his hand slightly, and the black hair fell smoothly between his fingers.
At the same time, the faint fragrance on her body was like a large net that could not be avoided, entwining and trapping Wei Jie in it, as if no matter what, the fragrance could not be completely dissipated.
Xue Li hummed a sound in his throat. After Wei Jie stood firm, he pushed her away with restraint and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
She touched the injury on her arm, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, but my cousin is unwell?"
Wei Jie pursed her lips tightly. Lip, did not respond immediately. Xue Li knew that he had guessed correctly and stared straight at him, his dark eyes seeming to shine in the night. As if she suddenly discovered a treasure, a sense of joy and pride emerged in her heart.
However, she still suppressed her joy and wanted her tone to be filled with concern and pity.
"I heard in the past that there was an eye disease that caused blindness after dark. Cousin...is this the same?"
Xue Li's hand gently held Wei Jie's sleeve, and his tone even sounded a little distressed. "Ms. Li will stay with my cousin... I'll let Ms. Li be my cousin's eyes for the time being tonight."
Wei Jie's eyes were dark, but he was sure that Xue Li was smiling.

Chapter 10
At this point, Wei Jie did not reject Xue Li's kindness. After thanking her warmly, he let her hold his sleeve.
Wei Jie's blurred vision at night has been a problem since he was a child, but his father never allowed him to disclose it to the outside world, so no one except his father and the personal attendant knew about it.
Doctors call this disease bird's eye disease. The former king who lost his country was also born with bird's eye disease. He was full of debauchery and violence. He killed ten thousand innocent people. When he was finally forced into the palace, he killed his concubines and children and set fire to them. *** died. Therefore, Bird Eyes has been given an unknown name since then.
Xue Li guessed that Wei Jie was holding on even though he was a bird, probably because of Wei's reputation. After all, outsiders said that he was flawless, and if he did anything wrong at all, he would be caught. She thought for a while and comforted her: "The doctor also said that bird's eye disease is not an incurable disease, so why is it unknown? It's just nonsense made by the predecessors. There are so many people with bird's eye disease in the world, but they all attract it." It's a disaster. What's more, a person like my cousin who is impeccable in talent, appearance and character, how could he be so unlucky? My cousin is clearly auspicious." Xue Li praised him without pausing at all, as if he felt that what he said was
very good. So he turned his head and stared at Wei Jie, waiting for his reaction.
Although Wei Jie couldn't see clearly, he could vaguely detect her movements. He expected that she must have some pride on her face, expecting him to give a satisfactory answer. He couldn't help but find it funny , and simply followed her wishes and
said, "You are really good at comforting people."
Like a feather.
"Even if it's comfort, it depends on who is comforting. Besides, what I say is true."
She finally understood that Wei Jie was not an ordinary man. If he didn't take the initiative, he would never take a step closer to her. . There's no need to be so reserved. It's better to show your kindness directly, at least to make him remember it.
Wei Jie pursed her thin lips and did not respond to her words.
From time to time, the sound of fluttering birds and the howling of unknown wild animals can be heard in the mountains. Xue Li led Wei Jie and walked cautiously. Hearing these noises, he couldn't help but feel frightened in his heart.
The two of them were so close that Wei Jie could touch her with just a slight raise of his hand. However, he was restrained and polite and did not touch her at all. Even if he touched her accidentally, he would immediately apologize to her.
Xue Li felt a little anxious. She was in such a mess just to find him, and maybe her life was in danger. When people found her, she looked extremely ridiculous. If Liang Yan was allowed to look at her... she thought of this
. , her face became even worse. After hesitating for a moment, she bit her lip cruelly and scratched the wound on her arm hard. The pain was so painful that she almost made a sound.
The wound where the blood had just solidified now became moist due to her movements, and then the blood snaked along her wrist to her fingertips, and slowly fell on Wei Jie's sleeve drop by drop.
After a while, Wei Jie's hand was also dripping with blood. When he noticed the moisture on his hand, he paused and called: "Ms. Xue?"
Xue Li breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be confused: "What's wrong? "
Is there an injury on your hand?"
She was secretly happy and whispered: "What are you talking about, cousin? I'm fine. Where can there be an injury?"
Wei Jie's tone remained unchanged and he said bluntly: "It seems that there was blood just now." It's in my hand."
Xue Li pretended to feel guilty and remained silent.
The darkness in front of Wei Jie's eyes made it difficult for him to see clearly the expressions of the people in front of him, and there was a vague displeasure in his heart.
He was now in a situation beyond his control, and he never liked this.
His tone softened slightly and he said: "If you are injured, just say it and don't hold on."
Xue Li whispered: "It's just a minor injury, it doesn't matter."
Wei Jie was silent and asked her : "Is it an arm?"
She said nothing. Wei Jie sighed and said helplessly: "Stretch out your hand."
Hearing what he said, Xue Li's expression became pleasant. She knew that Wei Jie was a gentleman and would not ignore her injury
.
Wei Jie took out a plain handkerchief and tentatively put it on Xue Li's arm. "But here?"
"It needs to go further down."
"Okay." He nodded, moved the veil down, and then heard Xue Li say: "That's it."
Wei Jie's movements were light and slow, and his fingers He accidentally touched her, and her delicate skin was stained with cold, sticky blood.
Wei Jie took back his hand. After Xue Li thanked him, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Does it hurt you?" His words were gentle and gentle, and just like his actions just now, there was no trace of offense.
Xue Li said in a low voice: "If there are scars, it will not look good in the future."
He had never thought of this, and it was indeed something that the girl's family would be worried about. "There is good wound medicine in the house, and it is also very good at removing scars. I will order someone to deliver it after I return to the house." After
hearing this, Xue Li finally felt better. "Thank you, cousin."
She paused, then pretended to be depressed: "I have nothing to give to my cousin, but I keep asking you to worry about me. If it weren't for me today, maybe I wouldn't have caused my cousin to fall into this trap. Dangerous situation."
"This matter has nothing to do with you, you are also implicated by me." Wei Jie comforted her. "Don't think too much."
The two of them walked for a while, but fortunately the assassin never caught up with him. Xue Li gradually let go of his worries and started talking to Wei Jie about trivial matters.
"When I was in Wujun, I was lucky enough to get a piece of my cousin's handwriting. However, after copying it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out. It was not even half as good as my cousin..." With Wei Jie's temperament, there was no way she could give her personal advice. She had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. "If my cousin has discarded manuscripts, why not give them to me so that I can study them carefully."
Her tone was much lighter than before, just like her name, like a lively oriole.
Wei Jie said lightly: "It's just an ordinary calligraphy, not as outstanding as outsiders boast. If you want to learn it, there are some famous calligraphy of many people in the house. You can copy them." Xue Li refused to give up and insisted
. Said: "Everyone's name post is indeed precious, but I like my cousin's calligraphy the most. It's hard for me to appreciate other people's calligraphy."
Wei Jie suddenly became speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment. She is very good at taking advantage of her. She was very well-behaved when they first met her, but now she has no reserve at all.
He was helpless. "That being the case, I'll do whatever you want."
The two of them kept walking down the mountain. After wandering for an unknown amount of time, they heard the noise coming from the distance. At the same time, several clusters of dancing firelights could be seen in the dark night.
Xue Li's eyes lit up, he looked in the direction of the fire, and said in surprise: "Someone is looking for us."
Wei Jie stood still and did not move again, the expression on his face was as calm as ever. When the people who came to look for them were close, Xue Li raised his hand to indicate that they were here.
Soon, people gathered around and shouted: "Wei Langjun is here!"
"We found the eldest son, go and report to the county prince!"
Suddenly the forest became noisy, the voices of people and footsteps mixed together, and the fire illuminated In the bright and dark mountain forest, Wei Jie's eyes were finally no longer pitch black.
He reminded gently. "Ms. Xue, you can let go."
Xue Li then let go of his sleeves and whispered, "Cousin, be careful."
"Okay."
Some people saw them talking intimately and quietly, and they couldn't help but wink at the people next to them with strange expressions.
Now that Wei Jie was safe and sound, she couldn't make excuses for pestering him any more, so she consciously stepped aside and allowed him to be greeted by everyone and surrounded by others.
Xue Li followed Wei Jie not far behind. Someone asked her a few concerned questions, and after confirming that she was fine, they didn't care much. They just protected her from falling, and she finally had the time to tidy up her messy hair.
After coming down the mountain, someone had already received the news and came to greet him. There were several people sitting immediately, all of them dressed in luxurious clothes. People from the Wei family were also here. Seeing that Wei Jie was back, they quickly stepped forward to ask.
Xue Li glanced from a distance, and saw someone walking by, and she heard they were talking about tonight's assassin. She stopped and listened carefully for a while, only to learn that not only Wei Jie was assassinated tonight, but the emperor and the kings also encountered assassins, and several tents were on fire.
She was lost in thought when a waiter suddenly called her. "May I ask if your surname is Xue?"
Xue Li looked at him and nodded subconsciously.
The waiter presented the thick cloak in his hand and said respectfully: "The master of the house ordered the slave to give it to Madam Xue. Please don't dislike it."
Xue Li asked doubtfully: "Who is your master?"
"The slave's master is the King of Junshan. ."
Xue Li had no clue and didn't remember the King of Junshan at all. He was hesitating about what to do when Yin Deng, who was safe and sound, suddenly ran over, holding a cloak in his arms.
"Madam, luckily you're fine!" Yin Deng almost cried with joy when he saw Xue Li again. "I thought I would never see my wife again."
Xue Li looked at the waiter and said, "Your Excellency has also seen it. Please thank me for King Junshan's kindness."
Yin Deng was surprised when he heard King Junshan's name. Looking at Xue Li, he opened his mouth and hesitated to speak.
After the waiter left, Yin Deng was about to ask a question. Xue Li glanced at the cloak in her arms and asked, "Who sent it?" "The
eldest son ordered it to be given to the slave."
She sighed quietly. , whispered quietly. "He still has a conscience."
