Chapter 61
Xue Li followed Zhao Ying all the way to Liangzhou to meet with King Junshan's men, and then arrived in Yuzhou not long after that. At this time, Zhao Tong's troops had arrived at Jingling. Zhao Tong has been fighting enemies since he was young, and has suppressed rebels and exterminated the Yi tribe many times. Now he is still brave and good at fighting, and his progress is unstoppable until the Wei family takes orders to fight against the enemy.
It's no wonder that in order to quell the rebellion, the Xiahou family either went into battle to kill the enemy or garrisoned the city. The Wei family even went to Wei Heng to quell the rebellion personally. Once the king of Junshan wins, the first to be destroyed will be several prominent families.
Xue Li and Zhao Ying and Zhao Yun got along day and night, and their relationship became increasingly close. Under the temptation of the two, they repeatedly said that they had no romantic feelings for Junshan King, and they would not have any other thoughts in the future. Zhao Ying had known her thoughts for a long time and had never thought of forcing her. Zhao Yun just felt that Xue Li was easy to get along with so that no one would give her away to her father's backyard in the future.
Zhao Ying still remembered that Xue Li suffered a lot when riding a horse, and he did not forget to teach her on the way to avoid being difficult to deal with if something happened in the future.
The mountains and rivers are far away, from Luoyang to Yuzhou, everything seems like a dream.
Xue Li occasionally thinks of Liang Yan, and his mood becomes uncontrollably depressed. In order to get close to Liang Yan and offend Wei Jie, she ended up where she was today. It was her own path, and she would swallow the consequences, good or bad.
The sky in winter is often lifeless and gray, and the mountains and fields are cold and desolate.
As time passed, she didn't feel as if she was scratching her heart when she thought of Wei Jie again, but she still couldn't help but feel upset. She slept uneasily in the carriage, and would have disorganized dreams at night. In the dream, Wei Jie dressed her in wedding clothes, chained her up and went to the temple to salute. When the scene changed, he grabbed her by the neck and pressed her against the jade. Hanging on the crabapple tree, she was pinched so hard that she couldn't breathe.
Xue Li suddenly woke up from her dream. Zhao Yun touched her forehead worriedly and said, "Ms. Li, what nightmare are you having? You keep talking in your sleep."
Zhao Ying opened the thick car curtain, and the cold wind leaked in. Seeing Xue Li trembling, he hurriedly got in and covered the curtain. "You're sweating a lot, and your head is very hot."
Xue Li's throat was dry and sore, and when he opened his mouth, he was so hoarse that he couldn't hear his original voice. "How far is it?"
She was dizzy and couldn't exert any energy, so she could only lie down in Zhao Yun's arms.
"It's almost time. It's still early. Let's sleep a little longer." The
official road to Jingling was not smooth. The bumps of the carriage made Xue Li wake up several times and fell asleep again. When he opened his eyes again, it was Zhao Ying who called out. woke her up.
"Ms. Li, we have arrived at the military camp. There are doctors in the army. If you catch a fever, I will take you to the doctor first." Zhao Ying whispered softly. Xue Li only heard him say doctor and subconsciously frowned and shook his head. He smiled He smiled and said, half coaxing and half persuading: "If you don't go, your fever won't be cured and you will suffer on the road. How will you find your mother in the future?"
Zhao Ying also heard about Liang Yan. The people who came to Shangjun from Luoyang all the way to Xue Li felt pity for Xue Li's experience even more. What's more, Liang Yan was related to him, so they couldn't help but feel a little bit more ashamed. They took good care of Xue Li on the way. She had a fever. Seeing Xue Li's face turned red and shaking his head dizzily, Zhao Ying felt soft, took off his cloak and covered her, and lifted her up from the soft couch.
Xue Li felt empty and knew that seeing a doctor was unavoidable, so he didn't say anything bad. She rarely had the opportunity to drink medicine. Only when she was in Taoqiyuan, she drank a bowl of medicine that was so bitter that her heart trembled. Later in Yuhengju, she was forced by Wei Jie to drink several doses of the medicine to recuperate her body. The taste still lingers today. The tip of my tongue feels bitter just thinking about it.
After getting out of the carriage, the chill immediately hit me. Zhao Ying weighed her. Xue Li was wrapped tightly, with only half of her face exposed. She squinted her eyes slightly and glanced at the vast sky. Cold snowflakes fell on her eyelashes, and her eyelashes were like crow feathers. Trembling, she asked hoarsely: "Is it snowing?" "
Such a heavy snow."
, the whistling of the wind and snow could be heard all around, as well as the occasional muffled sound of soldiers stepping on the snow.
Zhao Ying held her in his arms and walked for a while. From a distance, he saw Zhao Tong walking over in armor, and his steps gradually slowed down.
When he opened his mouth, a lot of cold air was poured into him, and the white snow stung him so much that he narrowed his eyes. "Dad."
Zhao Tong also saw the person he was holding in his arms. There was not much surprise on his face. He glanced at Xue Li lightly and asked, "Yun Niang said she had a fever.
" Xue Li's arms tightened, and Zhao Ying felt his throat went dry and said in a muffled voice, "I'm about to take Mother Li to find a doctor in the army." "
You're tired from the journey, so go and rest first." As Zhao Tong spoke, he stepped forward and stretched out his arm to take Xue Li from his hand.
Zhao Ying's movements were slightly stagnant, but the next moment he still let go and handed Xue Li to him.
The weight on his arms disappeared, but his steps seemed heavier. After walking a few steps slowly, he looked back at his father's back, feeling a faint anxiety rising in his heart. When Zhao Yun saw him, she immediately waved and called him, and then he walked away.
Zhao Tong was wearing armor and his steps were steady and even more heroic.
After walking for a short while, he said, "Are you awake?"
Xue Li still wanted to pretend not to hear, when he heard a deep chuckle from above.
She finally opened her eyes helplessly and whispered: "I can walk by myself, I don't dare to bother King Junshan."
Zhao Tong ignored her words and kept walking.
There was some thin snow accumulated on the cold armor, and a layer of dark red blood was hidden underneath. Some of the blood was frozen into ice, which was not obvious on the armor. Xue Li glanced at it and always felt that this was A suit of iron armor is a bit colder than ice and snow.
After walking a few more steps, Xue Li heard Zhao Tong comment: "I never thought about you and Liang Yan."
He only thought that she was infatuated with Wei Jie, but in the end she turned to marry Liang Yan. wife.
Xue Li covered her lips and coughed a few times, then said feebly: "I never thought about fate's tricks on people."
Zhao Tong carried her into the tent, and soon a doctor came to treat her. It was winter, and many soldiers in the army suffered from fever, so there was little need to bother doctors. So when he heard that he had a fever and wanted to see him, he was still muttering impatiently as he walked until he entered the tent and saw King Junshan sitting on the soft couch turning over charcoal. The dissatisfaction in his mouth suddenly stopped and his eyes fell. On the girl huddled up behind him.
The doctor wrote down the prescription in just a few strokes, looked at Xue Li a few more times, and said to Zhao Tong: "She is too thin, so we should remember to keep her in shape every day."
Zhao Tong took off his armor . Beside, Xue Li seemed to be able to smell the slight fishy smell in the air.
"This is the camp prepared for you. It's not far from Yun Niang. You girls can get together and talk in the future." After saying this, he paused and said: "We've passed by Luoyang. After half a year, I wonder how you feel today."
Since Xue Li was willing to follow Zhao Ying here, she would not mind her reputation as a traitor. Seeing her sickly appearance, Zhao Tong couldn't help feeling pity and warmth. Hot, dry palms gently caressed the side of her cheek.
She could even feel the abrasive calluses on Zhao Tong's hands, and she immediately stood up and stepped back, keeping some distance from him.
"Ms. Li has always regarded King Junshan as her elder and the hero of Da Qi. She has always been respectful and did not dare to have other thoughts." Looking at him.
Zhao Tong's eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and it made people feel weak when he stared at them without speaking.
Xue Li looked away silently when he saw him, not even daring to look at each other again, and then heard him say in a deep voice: "Ms. Li, you must think clearly, if you obey me, you will be a master in the future. He When I ascend the throne, you will be the queen. Not only you, but your mother's family will be able to ascend to heaven in one step. Those who abandon you will only dare to bow their heads and kneel in front of you in the future. Wouldn't it be nice?"
When Xue Li heard his ambitious words, he felt more and more strange in his heart. This kind of thinking is not what a loyal minister and good general should have. It sounds very happy indeed, but who can tell what will happen in the future? Who knows whether he will gain glory and wealth or die.
She dodged her eyes and asked in surprise: "What do you mean, Your Majesty...do you really have disobedience? I just want to live a stable life. This matter is really absurd to me, and I don't even dare to think about it. Please don't mention it again in the future."
Zhao Tong smiled and said nothing. Regardless of Xue Li's dodge, he pulled up the slipping quilt for her and said, "I told you before that you would come to me. Sooner or later, this world will fall into my hands, and so will you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yun's voice suddenly came from the camp asking for an audience, and Xue Li vaguely heard Zhao Ying's movements.
Seeing this, she lifted up the quilt and got off the couch with her bare feet. Before Zhao Tong could reach out to help her, she knelt down and knelt down in front of him. She said respectfully: "Mother Oriole, who is like Puliu, is in trouble now. Thanks to your Majesty and the Crown Prince." I will take you in. From now on, I will regard the king as my biological father and do my best to honor the king."
Xue Li lowered his head very low, revealing a section of his white neck. He held a golden hairpin in his delicate palm. It was clearly him. The one given to Xue Li.
When Zhao Ying and Zhao Yun stepped into the camp, they saw this scene. They stopped one after another and looked at Zhao Tong in astonishment.
Xue Li's steps were shaky and unsteady when she stayed. She forced herself to say these words, her body tensed, and her heart almost reached her throat. She didn't dare to look up at Zhao Tong's face, so she could only take the gamble once. Since Zhao Tong values her kindness so much, he must be a virtuous person and would never do anything that ignores etiquette and law for the sake of his children's love.
"Please, Your Majesty, take pity on Mother Li's loneliness and accept me as your adopted daughter." When Xue Li said this, there was an imperceptible tremor in his voice.
Zhao Tongzheng has been on the battlefield for many years and is used to seeing life and death. He has always had a calm temperament. However, when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
After being dumbfounded for a while, his eyes passed over the two brothers and sisters, and then returned to Xue Li's neck, which was so white that it turned dazzlingly white.
"See me as...father?"

Chapter 62:
Zhao Tong looked at the woman in front of him who was weeping and begging for his blessing, with mixed feelings in his heart. The first time I met Xue Li, it was when he was about to die. Xue Li came gracefully in a pink dress, her words were gentle, her eyes were like stars, like a goddess.
For a long time after that, he couldn't forget this girl. He was still thinking about the scene of that day in his midnight dreams. He was grateful for her kindness in helping her, and he also admitted that he was fascinated by her beauty.
Now that he saw that Xue Li wanted to worship him as his father, he could not help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. However, he soon calmed down his emotions. No matter what, it was his wishful thinking to marry Xue Li. When he came to Luoyang in the future and sat high on the Mingtai, Xue Li would also be in the palm of his hand. What she wants to do now is up to her.
Zhao Ying and Zhao Yun also watched Zhao Tong's actions with bated breath. After a while, they saw him slightly leaning over to help Xue Li, who was kneeling, up.
Xue Li's hair is slightly messy, her cheeks are red, and there are tears in the corners of her eyes, as beautiful as begonia dew. After she stood up, she noticed the movement behind her, glanced sideways at Zhao Ying, and immediately turned back shyly. Just one glance was so captivating that it made people's hearts flutter.
"If you insist on this, I will agree."
Xue Li felt happy when he heard the answer, and Zhao Ying, who was not far away, couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you so much, foster father. Please accept my daughter's respect." Xue Li said and wanted to salute him again.
When Zhao Tong heard that she called herself "daughter", his mood became even more complicated. He helped her stand up slightly stiffly, and then looked at Zhao Ying and Zhao Yun. He said loudly: "Why are you two here?"
Zhao Ying originally had something to say, but after seeing the scene in front of him, he forgot his purpose. Zhao Yun came closer and said: "Ms. Li is still not recovered, I I came here to visit with my brother to discuss future matters."
Zhao Tong nodded, turned to look at Xue Li, and whispered: "Okay, go back to the bed and have a good rest."
After that, he strode away. When he went out, Zhao Ying followed closely behind him. Then he looked back at her and met her eyes. Ripples could not help but appear in his heart.
Xue Li returned to the military camp for the first time. After drinking the disgusting decoction for a few days, her fever gradually subsided. Zhao Yun had nothing to do and came to chat with her every day. She often talked about her fiancé, whom she had a close relationship with. In order not to upset Xue Li, she rarely talked about Liang Yan. Occasionally she would go a long way to buy some jade jewelry at a nearby market.
Zhao Tong took great care of Xue Li, and she was really uneasy. Fortunately, he was dealing with military affairs most of the time. He not only had to lead troops north, but also guarded the city behind him from being attacked, so he didn't come to see her often.
Civil turmoil broke out everywhere. Taxes and hunger and cold made it impossible for the people to survive. The people had broken their bones to survive. On the other hand, the mansions of county magistrates everywhere were still singing and dancing. The uprising of the common people led by Hanmen soon became a climate, almost spanning across continents. The county responds to every call.
Xue Li could hear these battles from time to time in the military camp, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The country of Qi was in danger. The current situation of King Junshan was caused by the oppression of the nobles. When he came to power, sooner or later he would have to take action on these county commanders. The major noble families also knew this, and most of them sent troops to resist in order to avoid being imprisoned by the royal family in the future.
Zhao Ying had to follow Zhao Tong to handle military affairs, and occasionally came to teach Xue Li how to ride horses when he had free time.
Zhao Tong returned to the military camp. He heard a woman's exclamation while passing by the martial arts field. He turned around and saw Xue Li sitting on a horse in a garnet dress. He couldn't help but stop and look at her.
All that can be seen in the military camp is the gray sky and earth and the cold swords and halberds. As time goes by, it makes people feel numb. Xue Li has become the most vivid color here.
Seeing Zhao Tong approaching, Xue Li pulled the reins to a stop and respectfully called his adoptive father. " Is it boring to
be in the military camp?" Teach you not to compliment me like this." Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, Zhao Tong was speechless for a moment, his face gradually turned cold, and he said: "The weather is cold, you are in good health, and it is better to play less outside. ." "That's what the adoptive father said." "Come down." After Zhao Tong finished speaking, he stretched out his arms and took Xue Li off the horse before she could react. She exclaimed, panicked and held Zhao Tong's shoulders, hitting him directly into his arms and being held firmly by him. The slightly fragrant hair brushed across his face, Xue Li was held in his arms, looked at him condescendingly, and quickly looked away. Zhao Tong slowly put her down, ignoring Xue Li's stiff body, and tucked her hair behind her ears as if nothing had happened, and then turned and left. Xue Li stood there, his heart beating fast, and turned to look at Zhao Ying. His expression was not good-looking either. Soon the New Year came, and the army invited a famous shaman to offer sacrifices. The soldiers held a banquet to celebrate the New Year, praying for victory in every battle and peace in the world as soon as possible. It started to snow at night, and everyone went to drink. Xue Li sat alone by the bonfire and stared at the firewood in trance. There was a burst of chaotic and empty footsteps behind her, and she turned around to look, only to realize that it was Zhao Ying. I don’t know how much he drank. As soon as he got closer, Xue Li smelled the smell of alcohol. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and forced a smile: "Brother, why did you drink so much wine? Your steps are unsteady. Be careful." Fall into the fire." Zhao Ying sat next to her, the firelight illuminating his eyes. "Ms. Li, the New Year is here." Xue Li thought of her mother who was alone in Luoyang. She hid the disappointment on her face and replied, "Yes, the New Year is here. I hope my brother will be healthy in the coming year and win every battle." Zhao Ying shouted . After drinking, his mind was not clear, and an inexplicable sadness surged into his heart. He took Xue Li's hand and began to mutter to himself. Xue Li heard the words "father" and "Le'an", and then heard "Wei Jie", and then his tone became more and more strange. She lowered her head to look, only to realize that he started to shed tears as he spoke. . "I know I'm not as good as them, but I think Ms. Li also has me in her heart, yes or no... If you like me, I will treat you well in the future and will never be like them..." Zhao Ying is the same age. Xue Li was about the same age, only a few days apart, and he was just a teenager at heart. Now he was bolder when he was drunk, and he grabbed her arm to express his feelings. When Xue Li heard what he wanted to hear, he didn't feel surprised or relieved. Instead, he felt that the road ahead was difficult. He wanted to nod in response, but couldn't help but think of Liang Yan. If he knew, he would be sad to some extent... Even if they had a rift, they never denied their affection for each other. To this day, it feels more like fate is inevitable. Every step they take, they are going in opposite directions unknowingly. Zhao Ying cried silently at first, but when Xue Li didn't answer, he gradually started crying. Xue Li thought it was funny, so he patted the back of Zhao Ying's hand and whispered: "Brother protects me so much. Now I only have you to rely on, so naturally you also like me." Zhao Ying was very happy when he got the answer, but he couldn't speak clearly. Qing said a lot of words and hugged Xue Li into his arms. Some guards came to look for him and wanted to send him back, but Zhao Ying still grabbed her and refused to let go. After she comforted her for a few words, Zhao Ying stepped forward and kissed her quickly on the lips before leaving with the guards. After the others left, Xue Li touched the corners of his lips and sighed in despair. He looked up at the snow that was falling more and more, wrapped up his cloak tightly and headed back to the camp. Halfway through, he bumped into Zhao Tong. Two subordinates stood beside him, talking to him. After seeing Xue Li, he exchanged a few words with the two of them and then walked towards her. "Father." He had just said goodbye to Zhao Ying. Seeing Zhao Tong now, Xue Li couldn't help but feel a little guilty. "I'll take you back to the camp, let's go."
"My foster father has important matters to discuss, so don't worry about me."
"It's okay." Zhao Tong is tall and has been killing all year round. His expression is always firm and serious, but when he treats Xue Li, he is extremely docile, like a docile wild wolf.
"It's the New Year. If you feel lonely, you can talk to me."
Xue Li twisted his sleeves, thinking about tomorrow's events, and his heart was still uneasy.
"My mother is still in Luoyang, and I don't know if it has snowed so heavily in Luoyang at this time. I feel really guilty for not being able to be with her." "If I
get the chance in the future, I will order someone to pick up Lady Yao. No need to Worry. If she knows you are safe and sound, she will definitely be happy."
Today, the soldiers were all drinking. Walking beside Zhao Tong, Xue Li could smell the alcohol emanating from him. Although Zhao Ying and him are father and son, they are very different. Perhaps fighting on the battlefield does give people a murderous aura, which makes them really difficult to get close to.
After sending Xue Li back to the camp, Zhao Tong did not leave immediately, but followed her into the camp.
"Does the adoptive father have anything else to say?" Xue Li turned around and asked him, deliberately emphasizing the word "adopted father".
Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xue Li, then suddenly pushed her, causing her to hit the beam supporting the tent. Xue Li hit the back of her head and before she could cry out in pain, Zhao Tong stepped forward and blocked her voice.
Their lips and teeth were close to each other, one was cold and the other was hot, and his arms were as hard as copper and iron. No matter how hard Xue Li pushed him, he could not move them at all.
After letting go of Xue Li, Zhao Tong silently wiped the blood from his lips, and the corners of Xue Li's lips were also dyed scarlet.
Her chest was heaving up and down, and she suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice: "My foster father is drunk, it's better to go back and rest early." "Does
Ms. Li think that just saying "adopted father" can put an end to my thoughts?"
Xue Li felt in her heart . Annoyed, he glared at him and said, "I respect King Junshan as a hero, and I believe that the king is not a shameless person who repays kindness with hatred and forces others to do things difficult for him."
Zhao Tong's arms were still holding her, and she was pressed against the beam, unable to move. "Aristocratic families, royal relatives and nobles, some of them are clean. Even the Wei family with a strict family tradition, there are shameless people who have no regard for human ethics. Why do you think so well of me?"
Xue Li was stunned for a moment. , paused for a moment, forced out tears, and said sadly: "Why do you have to force me, my adoptive father? My brother and I have already been in love with each other for a long time. If you do such a thing, wouldn't it be unfair to me? What will happen to me in the future?" Stay at home..."
Zhao Tong's face darkened, he let go of Xue Li and took two steps back, his tone was a little more serious, even a vague warning. "We are in love...you and him?"
Xue Li sobbed and whispered: "Please ask your adoptive father to help us, and don't force father and son to separate..."
Zhao Tong stared at her, his eyes as sharp as a knife, It seemed like he was going to cut her into pieces. Xue Li only dared to lower his head and shed tears. After a while, he heard him slowly say: "What if I don't succeed? Do you think Zhao Ying will turn against me for you?"
Xue Li clenched his sleeves tightly and continued to cry: " Ms. Li is of low status and knows that she is not worthy, but she does not want to see her brother sad, so she has a rift with her adoptive father. If my adoptive father insists on doing this, I am willing to be killed at my neck to repay the kindness of my adoptive father and brother."
She said in As far as Zhao Tong is concerned, she is always a kind woman who helps Huaiyin when she is in trouble. Even if she is weak, she must be proud, otherwise he will feel despised because of her despicable nature and treat her even more contemptuously.
Zhao Tong was obviously shaken by her words. After a long silence, he finally walked out without forcing her again.
By the time he left the camp, Xue Li was already covered in cold sweat.
She slowly walked to the table and took a sip of cold tea. She glanced at the entrance of the tent, still feeling a lingering fear.
Zhao Tong had been on the battlefield for many years, and he used many thunderous methods. If he was really a loyal man without any ambition, how could he have the desire to rebel because of the Xiahou family's pressure, and he immediately summoned hundreds of thousands of troops to march north. I'm afraid that he had made adequate preparations when quelling the chaos. It just so happened that Zhao Ji had prepared troops and horses in order to quell the chaos, but now he was given the name of being forced to do nothing.
As a minister, Zhao Tong was disloyal, so how could he let her go for some kindness?
Xue Li calmed down and lay on the couch looking at the ceiling.
Fortunately, he only had a son like Zhao Ying...
Early the next morning, heavy snow covered the sky and the earth. Xue Li could not close his eyes all night and got up before dawn.
The army set up an altar early and offered three animals and rice cakes. The shaman Zhu Chenjue had already begun to offer sacrifices to the gods at dawn. In addition to praying for good fortune and longevity, this sacrifice to the gods is also to ask about good or bad luck, so as to ask ghosts and gods to protect Zhao Tong and win hundreds of battles.
Chen Jue is a well-known shaman in recent years. It is said that he had predicted the civil unrest and the severe drought in Guandong in advance. It is also said that his superb medical skills saved countless people.
He danced on the altar to trance the gods and muttered words. The soldiers around the altar remained silent, and no one dared to disturb him.
The soldiers followed Zhao Tong through life and death, and everyone wanted peace of mind. If they could invite ghosts and gods to protect them after the sacrifice, it would also boost their morale.
Xue Li could only stand in the distance and take a few glances, only to see Zhao Tong standing solemnly in the distance.
The ceremony of sacrificing the gods lasted for a long time, and Chen Jue stopped at nearly noon, and then used a knife to kill the tied rooster and red carp.
Xue Li was numb from the cold and had no intention of watching the ceremony. She was listening to Zhao Ying talking to her when she heard whispers from the crowd. She stood on tiptoe to see what was going on. Zhao Ying simply picked her up and let her sit on his shoulders.
After Xue Li stabilized himself, he looked out again and happened to see Chen Jue raising his arm high, holding a piece of jade in his palm.
The fish blood stained on the jade was still dripping down. He knelt on the altar, held up the piece of jasper with both hands, and shouted loudly: "The Qi family is dead, and the king of Yu should be in line. Wu daughter will have a son, and the world will be peaceful." !”
The shouts were extremely loud, and the words in his mouth were even more deafening.
There is a jade stone hidden in the belly of the red carp, which is clearly a guide given by the gods.
Zhao Tong was stationed in Yuzhou and was always known as the King of Yu. These words already predicted that he would replace the orthodox emperor of Qi and make immortal contributions.
The army was in an uproar. Apart from the inspiring first sentence, the latter sentence made people even more confused, and they all speculated about what Wu Nu meant.
Zhao Ying, who was holding Xue Li, froze, and quickly put Xue Li down, saying in shock: "It's really strange, this Chen Jue is actually somewhat capable, he can invite Xiangrui... What is the meaning of the second part of his sentence, what is it?" Wu Nu?"
Zhao Ying had obviously forgotten Xue Li's ancestral home. She turned her head angrily and said impatiently: "I didn't hear you clearly."
But Zhao Tong had already stepped forward and respectfully said: "Sir, please clarify."
Chen Jue stood in In the wind and snow, the body stood stiffly like a withered dry firewood. He presented the jasper in his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "There is a woman in the land of Wu, who is both a disaster and a blessing. The son in the woman's womb is the central star and a great general in the sky. He can carry out great achievements and prosper the world. "
Zhao Tong's face was serious, his thin lips pursed into a cold arc. He took the jade and looked at it. Sure enough, there were four rows of small characters engraved on it.
"Sir, do you mean that our army has achieved great success?"
"This is God's blessing, and the king is destined to return."
After Zhao Tong bowed respectfully, he turned to face the soldiers, and before he could speak, the soldiers in the army shouted in unison. Calling: "The Qi family is dead, the King of Yu should be reborn. The daughter of Wu will have a son, and the world will be at peace!" On
the first day of the new year, the gods invited auspiciousness, and the soldiers were invigorated physically and mentally, and the forest trees were shaken with loud shouts.
Then everyone started talking about who Wu Nu was, until Zhao Tong strode towards Xue Li, and Zhao Ying pulled Xue Li behind and said warily: "What are you doing, dad?"
Chen Jue also noticed the woman hiding behind Zhao Ying at this time. He walked down the altar step by step and approached them.
Xue Li looked horrified and asked, "What do you mean by foster father?"
Zhao Tong glanced at her with a cold expression, then turned back and asked Chen Jue: "Sir, there happens to be a Wu girl in my camp. She once ordered The famous scholar Wei Lanzhang turned against Liang Le'an, the person the fable refers to..."
Xue Li said angrily: "Don't listen to that demon's deception. What a disaster, it's clearly his demonic words that deceived the public..." "
Shut up," Zhao Tong scolded coldly. "This is an auspicious sign from heaven, don't talk nonsense."
Chen Jue glanced at her, walked around her, and then said: "Whether it is a disaster or a blessing, it all depends on the king's wish."
Zhao Ying was silent for a long time, Finally, he couldn't help but asked: "Ms. Li and I have already had an understanding. If the son in her womb can carry on the great cause and prosper the world, what do I mean as the heir apparent?" As soon as
these words came out, the listener sighed again.
Chen Jue said with a smile: "The fable does not indicate whose son it is, so why should the prince be angry?"
Zhao Ying looked startled, and then suddenly realized, as if he had returned to the clouds from the abyss, and said in surprise: "What you said is very true, I Naturally, the heirs can be regarded as inheriting the great cause..."
Zhao Tong pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Thank you sir for your advice."
Zhao Ying was ecstatic in his heart and turned to look at Xue Li, but was thrown away by her and scolded: "A monster is playing tricks on me. Don't think about deciding my life's events with the words of ghosts and gods!"
Zhao Tong frowned, grabbed Xue Li's arm, and said: "The wind and snow are too strong, send Madam Xue back to rest first."
Then in full view, two guards He stepped forward and took Xue Li away without any explanation, and sent her back to the camp all the way.
After returning to the camp, the ice and snow on Xue Li's body gradually melted, and his frozen body began to warm up.
The uneasy heart that had been there since last night finally settled down. Thinking of Zhao Tong's ugly look when he asked Zhao Ying questions just now, Xue Li almost wanted to laugh out loud.
She started planning the day she arrived at Jingling. In the eyes of clan members like Zhao Tong, Chen Jue was a well-known Wu Zhu. In the past, he was just a Confucian scholar who had an unsuccessful career. He once passed through Wu County and worshiped under the Shen family. , because he was not reused, he went north to choose the leader of the Ming Dynasty.
Chen Jue was proficient in medicine when he was in Wu County and often used talismans to treat diseases. Yao Linghui went to see him to cure the red sores on Xue Li's face. She had vomiting and diarrhea.
Now Chen Jue has transformed into a great shaman who can communicate with ghosts and gods, and the army must perform sacrifices during major festivals. Hearing that he was in Yuzhou, Xue Li colluded with Chen Jue early. Promising that she would become the queen in the future, she allowed him to be Taichang and rank first among the nine ministers.
She was risking her life, and so was a mysterious witch like Chen Jue.
To be where he is today, he must have a lot of courage and foresight.
Xue Li sneered, and she felt even more relieved when she thought of Zhao Ying's tense attitude towards Zhao Tong in front of everyone. It was just when Zhao Tong needed to boost his morale that the auspiciousness coming from heaven was a blessing. Now everyone knows that Zhao Ying loves her. If he insists on stealing his son's sweetheart, it will not only damage his good name if he tells her about it. Zhao Ying not only felt resentful, but also suspected that his position would be taken away from him in the future because of this fable. It was inevitable for father and son to turn against each other. Zhao Tong was in his prime, and he no longer had the temperament to ignore the overall situation for the sake of love.
After being happy, Xue Li still had other things to worry about. It is said that a wealthy businessman has recently appeared in Jiangdong and provided a lot of food, grass, soldiers and horses to Zhao Tong. The man's surname is also Xue and he is from Wu County. If it was her bastard father, she would have to ask someone to find out.
After the news of the auspicious signs descending from heaven spread, Xue Li, one of the auspicious signs, gradually gained popularity in the military, and some even called her a goddess.
Zhao Tong seemed to have given up his mind and did not offend her with words. On the contrary, Zhao Ying felt uneasy and thought about getting married to her as soon as possible all day long. Soon the matter she asked someone to inquire about came to light, and the wealthy businessman from Jiangdong was really her bastard father.
Years later, Zhao Tong's troops were victorious and continued to march northward.
Xue Li and Zhao Yun were accompanying the army at the rear, and within a few days, the guard carried a soldier and threw it in front of the carriage, telling her: "A few days ago, I saw this man sneaking into the carriage escorting the lady, and he secretly slandered the lady. We have caught him claiming to be a blood relative of the lady. I have captured him here for the lady to decide."
Xue Li leaned out and looked at him, and saw the stubborn expression on the familiar face. Without any intention of admitting her mistake, she said quietly: "Fellow? I don't know him, so where did he come from?"
He looked angry, but when he was about to speak out, he was kicked to the ground by a guard.
"I said he was talking nonsense and dared to slander the goddess. Why don't you kowtow and plead guilty."
He shouted in pain, and the guard kicked him twice more, and then he heard him shout angrily: "Xue Li! You are so big. If you let my father know about your courage... I will definitely not let you go!"
Xue Li leaned out of the carriage again, pretending to be surprised: "Xue Ling, how could it be you? It's my fault that I haven't seen you for so long. , I didn't recognize you..."
She sighed and said sadly: "I expected that my close relatives would not slander me, so I didn't think of you, blaming me for making you suffer. Don't be angry, I will I ordered you to be let go."
The guard heard Xue Li's words and said doubtfully: "You are really my relative. In this case, I shouldn't slander you. Your heart is too vicious."
Xue Li said lowly: "Third brother has never been She likes me because I
have an unpleasant temperament..." "Why do you need to be self-effacing, Madam? Who doesn't know that Madam is born with beauty, has a gentle and kind temperament, and is the King's savior. Don't belittle yourself because of a few words from a villain."
Xue Ling After being scolded a lot, his face turned red with anger. "Xue Li!"
The guard kicked him hard again. "What are you yelling about?"
She waved her hand and dismissed the guards, then sneered and said, "I've heard that you left home without permission to join the army, and I thought you died in battle."
She glanced at Xue Ling up and down, and said scornfully "You're just a mere chief, not even as good as a country farmer. You really have lost Xue's face. If your uncle knew about it, I'm afraid he would send you to feed the dogs..."
Xue Ling was so mean to her that she said Speechless, he clenched his fists in anger and said angrily: "What do you know? I want to make a career
on my own!" Can I give you a nice word in front of you and help you become a team leader?"
After she finished speaking, Xue Ling was really stunned for a moment, as if he was hesitating about the feasibility.
Xue Li mocked mercilessly: "You still want to make contributions based on your talent. Without the name of a noble family, how are you different from the common people? I'm afraid you are even worse than the common people."
These words finally angered Xue Ling, and he He was so angry that he jumped out of the carriage and cursed her uncontrollably: "What kind of goddess? She is clearly a disaster, a witch!"
Soon someone covered his mouth and dragged him away. Xue Li heard the wailing and thought of being raped by Xue Ling. All the past humiliations made me feel even more refreshed.
Since many of Xue Li's group were female relatives and doctors accompanying the army, the soldiers and horses should not move too fast. As time went by, they would distance themselves from the soldiers and horses in front and behind them.
At night, enemy troops suddenly came to besiege them, and their group was also surrounded. Fortunately, they were not far away from other soldiers and horses, and reinforcements would soon be waiting for help.
It was just a small group of lucky enemy troops that did not pose a threat to them. Seeing that there was nothing urgent, Xue Li stayed in the carriage and waited for Zhao Ying to arrive with reinforcements.
However, Xue Ling hurriedly pulled her out of the carriage, but he was much more anxious than she was. He pushed her onto the horse without any reason, and urged: "If your reputation as a goddess spreads, there will be people who want to come and fight for it. I will take someone to escort her." you go first."
Xue Li felt uneasy in his heart, and especially couldn't trust Xue Ling. He struggled to get off the horse. Xue Ling simply got on the horse and rode with her, saying angrily: "Why are you crazy! I am saving you!" "It's
ridiculous. "
Xue Ling seemed to be irritated by her. He raised his whip and galloped on his horse, leading a group of people to forcefully take her away from here.
There were not many soldiers and horses surrounding them. After Xue Li was escorted out, Xue Ling was quite proud and said: "A woman's kindness is just to wait for death, how can she take advantage of the situation..." The
road ahead was dark, Xue Li's heart They were really uneasy. They would be in trouble if they encountered an attacker.
She ignored Xue Ling's sarcasm. They were not far away. She only hoped to meet Zhao Ying's people soon.
However, suddenly, there was a burst of rapid and messy footsteps in the dark night. Before the guards could react, they were heavily surrounded by people, and their swords and halberds shone with a cold edge in the dark night.
Xue Li tensed up, clenched her fists tightly, and then said slowly and gritted her teeth: "Xue Ling, I really should kill you."
She was going to be killed by this bastard!
Xia Houxin walked out of the military camp and leaned over to look at the woman who was being escorted. He saw that the woman's hair was messy, but she could not hide her peerless appearance. He immediately laughed wildly: "Okay! That's great! It's you?
" Clamping Xue Li's chin, forcing her to lift her up.
"My face is so ugly..." Xia Houxin smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into crescent moons. "Do you think we are destined to be together... But I also want to thank your idiot cousin. If he had taken you away a little later, Zhao Ying's people would have arrived."
Xue Li looked pale and said softly: "Here it is. Being able to meet your husband everywhere is naturally considered fate."
Xiahou Xin chuckled and said: "Not only are you destined to me... there is also someone who has a close relationship with you. Knowing that you have become the target of the Junshan King and his son, Xiangrui, he has been living without food for a whole day..."
"A monster is talking nonsense, and the gentleman is joking."
Xia Houxin lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "What is so good about you, let Wei Both Jie and Liang Yan have never forgotten you, and now even the father and son regard you as their treasure... I want to give it a try too."
Xue Li looked respectful and whispered: "Dare to ask Mr. Lang, I Where is my cousin?"
"Do you still have time to care about his life and death?"
She said with a look of concern on her face: "My cousin and I have a very close relationship, and please let him go and don't embarrass him... ..."
"Then let's see if you are obedient or not." Xia Houxin snorted coldly, picked her up and threw her to the maid.
"Send her to my house. Clean her and tie her up first. Don't let her escape."

Chapter 63
The waiter's action of dragging Xue Li away could be called rude. She was dragged so hard that she almost fell to the ground. After entering the room, a maid immediately tried to take off her clothes.
Even though Xue Li had a stoic temperament, she couldn't bear such grievance. After all, she was also a daughter of an aristocratic family. Although she was not as good as a famous family, she had never suffered such humiliation.
At first, she had the patience to talk to the maid, trying to deal with Xia Houxin, but the other party stepped forward and pulled her belt harder, almost scratching her face during the struggle.
Xue Li was so angry that he slapped the other person in the face. "How outrageous!"
The waiter did not dare to fight back because he was concerned about her status, but he was also angry. Seeing her struggling and refusing to settle down, he ordered someone to bring the chains used to tie criminals, and shackled her hands and feet in a few strokes. She put her on the pillar next to the bed, and she was afraid that Xue Li would hold a grudge and come back to settle the score with them, so he even blindfolded her when he did it.
Xue Li was so angry that she could only let them take off her clothes. Fortunately, in the winter, she wrapped herself in layers and layers, and before the clothes were stripped clean, someone called them out.
Xue Li was blindfolded and could not see anything clearly. He was so cold that he couldn't help but tremble. After the door opened, a cool breeze blew in, and she shrank down. Then she heard footsteps, and then the soft sound of the door being locked.
The room suddenly became quiet. She couldn't see it, but she could feel the other person standing there watching her quietly.
Xue Li was surrounded by a huge feeling of helplessness. She knew that she had to blame herself for everything today, but she still felt aggrieved, tired and scared. She even regretted that she was so ruthless to Wei Jie that day. She wanted to Auntie, I miss Wei Yun, and even Liang Yan.
However, no matter how scared she is, she only has herself now. Being possessed by Xia Houxin will not ruin her reputation, it will be a humiliation that she cannot let go of. Liang Yan or Zhao Ying were all people she was willing to marry, but she was unwilling to submit to Xia Houxin.
Xue Li gritted his teeth, suppressed the trembling in his voice, and said: "Mr. Lang, please think clearly and don't ruin your own important affairs just for the sake of quick pleasure. Not to mention my current relationship with King Junshan, it's me. The engagement with Pingyuan Hou Shizi has not yet been terminated. If Mr. Lang wants to work with others in the future, why would he ruin his reputation for me? Wouldn’t it be more worthwhile to trade with me? I was just forced to commit myself to the traitor. , Liang Yan is the only one I really like, and I ask you to be noble and let me go this time. I will definitely be grateful in the future..."
Xue Li's words were extremely comprehensive. Xiahou Xinruo is a wise family. Son, you won't be so dissolute that you ruin important things. However, after she finished speaking, there was no movement from the other party. The room was so quiet that it seemed like she was the only one talking to herself.
Xue Li frowned and was about to tentatively speak when he suddenly heard the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps.
Before she could ask anything, she was pushed against the wall.
There was a clanking sound as the chains were pulled up, and Xue Li was in pain when she hit the hard and cold wall. She was anxious and angry, and just as she was about to ask questions, she smelled a light cold fragrance in her nose, as refreshing as the cold plums in the ice and snow. She woke up instantly.
Cool hair swayed past her cheek, and the person in front of her breathed softly, hiding some indescribable anger.
Xue Li was held down and unable to move. Something seemed to be stuck in her throat, making her suddenly mute.
Then she felt a sharp and cold object pressed against her neck. When she realized what it was, her whole body went cold for a moment, her back almost felt numb, and she even held her breath.
With just one stroke, her flesh would be torn apart and she would bleed to death.
Xue Li finally felt fear. She took a deep breath, but she still couldn't suppress the trembling in her body.
"Cousin..."
In the darkness, the man leaned close to her, and his warm breath fell gently on her ear, making her hair stand on end like the breath of a poisonous snake.
"Ms. Oriole, say it again..." Wei Jie's voice was low and hoarse, gentle but suppressed the violence that wanted to tear her apart. "Who do you like?"
Xue Li almost cried, but he didn't dare to move because of the sharp knife in his throat. He could only say in a trembling voice: "Cousin... I, I also have my own reasons. Don't I want to be angry..."
She was going to be scared crazy by Wei Jie, and could only scold Xia Houxin and Xue Ling from the bottom of her heart.
Xue Li's eyes were completely dark, her hands and feet were chained and she couldn't run away. She couldn't even see the expression on Wei Jie's face, so she could only open her mouth to test it out anxiously, trying her best to admit his mistake. "I really know I was wrong... What I said just now was just forced, not my original intention. The only one I care about in my heart is my cousin, and the relationship with Junshan Prince and his son is just a rumor. I have nothing to do with them, it's just... It's just because of my past kindness. I was so impulsive that I was too scared. I wanted to go back to find you, but I was alone..."
Xue Li said a lot of words, half pleading and half flattering. The person in front of her still didn't respond at all, and the dagger pressed against her neck became heavier again, as if it was about to slit her throat in the next moment.
The aroma that once intoxicated her has now become a deadly poison.
There were a few lights on in the room, and Wei Jie only wore a robe over his thin gown. His black hair was spread down, covering his gloomy eyes. His tall and twisted shadow was reflected on the wall, like a Terrible evil spirit.
After going round and round, she still fell into his hands. Maybe this was Xue Li's destiny. Killing her was her destiny.
Wei Jie listened to her frightened crying and tried every means to argue. Even when he was about to die, he still thought about how to deceive him. He really didn't change his nature.
But for such an out-and-out liar, he still saw her in his dreams. He couldn't help but miss her soft lips and tongue, her pretentious words of love, and even her laughter and curses. She was so confusing to people's minds. The poison turned him into the shameful and ridiculous appearance he is today.
Xue Li easily aroused his desire, causing him to destroy his etiquette and dogma and start looking forward to such mundane things as love.
"Liar." Wei Jie looked gloomy and said her name through gritted teeth, as if he wanted to crush her between his teeth. "Xue Li, you are basically lying to me."
How could she easily affect his emotions and lure him into the mud, but she pulled away.
It was Xue Li who turned him into a ridiculous lunatic, a beast trapped in lust. But her heart belonged to her, and she watched him soberly from beginning to end, being indifferent to his advances, and trampling on his affection. She watched the formerly aloof Wei Lanzhang fall into the quagmire because of her. She was proud of him, but she had no nostalgia at all. turned around.
Wei Jie's body seemed to be burning with a poisonous fire, burning his internal organs into ashes, making him feel as if he was suffocating whenever he thought of Xue Li.
First it was Liang Yan, then Zhao Tong and his son, and maybe there were more people... Since it belonged to him, why would there be others? Why couldn't he be the only one?
The whites of Wei Jie's eyes were bloodshot, and his dark eyes stared at her. Anger suddenly surged into his heart, and something seemed to tighten in his stomach. The pain was so painful that veins appeared on the back of his hands, and he almost felt like gagging.
"I really have no one else in my heart. Now that I think about it, I can only be happy when I am with my cousin...I was wrong in the past..." Xue Li was so anxious that she couldn't speak at all. She could feel Wei Jie's anger and could only fumble. Lifting his hand, he carefully grabbed his collar.
After her pleading, the dagger finally left her neck, but still left a thin line of blood.
Xue Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly heard a cold chuckle.
"Happy..."
As soon as she finished her words, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and the chain shook violently. She pressed against the cold wall, and Wei Jie suppressed her and forced her to raise her head.
After her lips and teeth were pried open, Xue Li clearly felt Wei Jie's five fingers on her neck. She was forced to raise her head and accept his suffocating kiss, as if he was drowning her. Wei Jie kissed her deeply and fiercely. , not giving her a chance to breathe at all.
Xue Li's lips and tongue were numb, and she was sore from being out of breath. She choked to tears and could only sob. She resisted and wanted to look away, but she was pressed tighter.
.........................
However, the next moment, Xue Li let out a short scream and hurriedly helped Wei Jie's arm, almost losing his legs and falling to his knees. When she went down, Wei Jie picked her up and held her down again. She begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Cousin... I know I was wrong. Please let me go once. I really won't do it again in the future..."
Wei Jie no longer has the warmth of the past. It was almost deliberately humiliating her.
"Ms. Oriole... do you really admire me?" Wei Jie's tone was gentle, but his eyes were extremely vicious. "I'm doing happy things with you, why are you crying?"
Xue Li couldn't see anything, but her feelings were extremely clear in the darkness. She was forced to cry by Wei Jie, and she really didn't have any lingering thoughts at all.
She has never been so ashamed and angry, even if she could bear any humiliation in the past, but Wei Jie is a madman, no matter how much she admits her mistake and apologizes, he remains indifferent. It seems that he is determined to torture her, and he doesn't know if he is still alive. , how to escape from him in the future.
When he thought that everything he had worked so hard to calculate was reduced to ashes at this moment, and there was a high possibility that his life would be lost, Xue Li finally became angry and resentful. He cried and cursed as if to vent: "So many people are fighting for it." I'm rushing to marry you, why won't you let me go! You madman, villain, despicable and shameless bastard! You are just a hypocrite, what Lanzhi Yushu...ah!"
Xue Li cried out.
.....
She gasped in pain, her body tense like a bowstring.
*************
Xue Li's face was pale and he could not restrain himself from shaking.
***** Wei Jie's voice was slightly hoarse, and he asked her almost viciously
: "Why don't you say anything anymore?" **************** ******************************* ... ..................... Suddenly, she felt the fingers around her neck tighten suddenly, and her breath and All the crying and moaning were suppressed. Xue Li couldn't breathe, and her chest ached due to suffocation. She opened her mouth to make a sound, but Wei Jie leaned in and kissed her as if to comfort her. "Mother Oriole..." Wei Jie's eyes were moist and he looked crazy. "Let me kill you."

Chapter 64:
Xue Li was suddenly pinched by the neck. His face turned red and his whole body tensed up. He tried his best to pry Wei Jie's fingers apart.
And he seemed to be inexplicably satisfied by her actions, and he let out a sigh of great pleasure.
Even so, he had no intention of letting her go, and the force he used on her neck did not decrease at all.
During the struggle, the hairband that covered his eyes fell away, and Xue Li finally saw the person in front of him clearly. His dark pupils were covered with a layer of water, like a raging tide in the darkness. Her satin-like ink hair fell down and was warmed by her body. The hair covered her body like tangled vines.
There was a terrifying calmness about Wei Jie, and the way he stared at Xue Li made her feel even more creepy.
The pain and fear caused by suffocation caused her tears to well up. The warm tears snaked down and fell on the back of Wei Jie's hand. The weight was so gentle that it could be ignored, and it actually gave him a strange feeling. , as if being pricked by a needle, the strength was suddenly relieved. The fingers still did not move away, but there was a trace of hesitation in the eyes.
Xue Li took a sharp breath, then lay on Wei Jie's shoulder and coughed violently. His hair wet with tears stuck to his cheeks, and his posture was extremely embarrassing.
The chains made a clanking sound as she coughed.
She almost thought she was going to die, and she didn't know how much force Wei Jie had used, so that her neck was in burning pain at the moment, and her throat seemed to have been rubbed by sand and gravel, and she was sore and dumb when she opened her mouth.
Xue Li was finally able to take a breath, but he heard Wei Jie's soft hum beside his ear, which seemed both unbearable and joyful. She froze for a moment, and then realized that the other person was still close to her.
He almost killed her, but he still felt happy when she was in so much pain. He was really a lunatic!
"Ms. Oriole..." Hanyu's voice was low and hoarse, and she opened her mouth to call Xue Li. She was so frightened that her body trembled.
Wei Jie pushed Xue Li's messy hair behind his ears and suddenly chuckled a few times.
"You don't want to die...do you know what to do?"
Xue Li looked into his dark eyes and felt panicked. Thinking of his near death, he couldn't help but feel frightened. He echoed him with tears in his eyes and his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly speak: "I... I am yours..."
Wei Jie's murderous intention suddenly disappeared.
He was still a little reluctant to let go. If the person died, those desires that made him so ugly would disappear, but the joy at the moment would also disappear with it... Troubles are real, and happiness is also real.
He saw Xue Li holding his clothes and sobbing softly, his heart suddenly softened, and he leaned in to kiss her again. Xue Li was extremely well-behaved at this moment. He seemed to be really afraid of death. He endured his fear and tried his best to please him.
Wei Jie chuckled a few times, let her cling to him, and then pressed her against the wall again.
The dim indoor lights flickered, and the sound of chains echoed again. The waiter waited for a long time before being summoned. The door opened with a creak. Wei Jie was wrapped in pajamas and had bath water sent to his room.
Soon after, he returned to the room holding Xue Li, who was tightly wrapped in his outer robe.
This is the old residence of the commander of Yuzhou County, which was temporarily requisitioned by them, and soldiers and horses were stationed not far away. Almost all the furnishings in Wei Jie's house are brand new, and Xia Houxin is quite disdainful of his picky style. He could tolerate rough food and the hardships on the march, but he had to bring cups, food and other utensils from Luoyang and refused to be contaminated by others.
The layout of the house is simple and elegant, with a bathtub filled with hot water behind the screen.
Xue Li was like a half-dead fish, lying on top of him and letting him take off her clothes. It wasn't until she was soaked in the hot soup that her aching body finally felt relieved.
Now that she was no longer worried about her life, she felt a little ashamed. She was buried in the water with only her head exposed. She glanced at Wei Jie who was unconscious and wanted him to get out, but she didn't dare to speak, so she could only He hesitated to speak, his face full of aggrievedness.
She turned her back to him, her hunched back looking a little aggrieved.
A moment later, she heard the rustling of clothes, and when she turned back, she was stung by the scene in front of her, and turned her head away again.
Wei Jie stepped into the bathtub and took her into his arms without any hint of shyness.
Xue Li's face flushed, and he suddenly missed Wei Jie who was so angry at her frivolity that he was completely different from the shameless and obscene Wei Jie he was now.
She restrained Wei Jie's hand and wanted to speak angrily, but when her words came to her lips, she seemed to be begging for mercy. "I...I want to go to bed."
Wei Jie let her hold his hand and said quietly: "Ms. Li, do you want a child?"
Xue Li was so anxious that he wanted to jump up and curse when he heard this. .
Who wants to give him a child?
Wei Jie saw Xue Li turning her head in shock, her face full of anger, but he was not surprised by her reaction. He said warmly, "In that case, it's better to be nice."
"I can do it myself."
Wei Jie chuckled, and sure enough, He stopped moving and just leaned slightly against the tub to watch her.
Xue Li was like a man with a light on his back. The skin on his body was reddened by the heat, and his face looked even more shameful and angry. After being stiff for a long time without making any movement, he heard a very low, mocking laugh coming from behind.
He reached out his hand and pulled her to his side. Xue Li took a deep breath and once again let him play with her like a dead fish.
Xue Li slept until almost noon. She hadn't slept with Wei Jie for a long time. Her dress was stained with filth, so she had to put on his clothes. At first, she was too nervous to fall asleep. Maybe she was still too tired. I don't know when. Fell to sleep. But when I woke up again, the discomfort in my body had not improved much.
She struggled to get up, but not only her limbs were sore, but her lower abdomen also ached. After sitting up, she opened the quilt and looked at her ankle, which had been worn by the chain for a long time. As expected, there was already a circle of blood scab.
Wei Jie tortured her so hard that the injuries on her ankles hurt, and there were even red and swollen marks on her wrists.
The door suddenly opened, and Xue Li trembled with fright. When she saw Wei Jie walking into the room, she panicked and clenched the quilt tightly, staring at him without daring to move.
Wei Jie put down the things in his hands, poured a cup of tea and walked to the couch to hand it to her. "You didn't sleep well last night."
Xue Li glared at him resentfully, took the tea and started to swallow it. Unexpectedly, her throat hurt so much that she couldn't even swallow the water. She choked and coughed. Wei Jie took the water. Patted her on the back. He probably guessed the reason. Although he softened his tone, he didn't feel much guilt. "I'm sorry."
Xue Li didn't know whether Wei Jie did it intentionally or unintentionally. That's what she said when she pushed him down the hillside.

Chapter 65
Xue Li was silent while holding the tea cup. Now that it fell into Wei Jie's hands, she was inevitably depressed. It could only be said that she was unlucky, so what could she do?
When she woke up at this moment, Xue Li's black hair was messy and disheveled, which made her skin as white as snow. She was wearing Wei Jie's clothes, and the slightly loose neckline exposed some skin, with a few scattered red marks faintly visible.
Wei Jie's angle was just right to get a glimpse of the scenery under the clothes, and he couldn't help but think of Xue Li's appearance yesterday when he begged for mercy. Thinking about it now, even he was surprised. It turned out that he would indulge in lust and become the most disdainful person he used to be. All restraint and cultivation were forgotten, and he was like a wild beast, just following the rules. Moved by instinct.
Xue Li finished drinking the water and didn't even want to look at him. He just handed over the tea cup in his hand.
"Do you want more?" Wei Jie asked her.
Xue Li's throat was so painful that she didn't want to say a word, let alone see Wei Jie, and ignored him after hearing it.
Wei Jie was not upset, he stood up and put the cup back, then took a few small porcelain jars over, sat back on the couch, and made a move to lift the quilt.
Xue Li was so frightened that she immediately pressed his hand and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
He raised his eyes and looked at her, and said slowly: "I'll give you medicine."
Xue Li didn't want to leave a scar, so he hesitated. Finally, she stretched out her legs, but as soon as Wei Jie touched her legs, she shrank back in surprise and said displeasedly: "My hands are cold." After
saying this, she realized that Wei Jie was getting angry at any moment. The person who could take her life was not here to serve her, so how could she be allowed to lose her temper? Her face suddenly became a little depressed, and she sent her leg over again, letting Wei Jie hold her ankle and apply the medicine.
Medicine was applied to the ankles, then to the wrists, and finally to the neck.
Wei Jie pushed her hair back, and she reluctantly raised her head, her voice as hoarse as an old clock leaking wind. "Do you still want to lock me up?"
Wei Jie said lightly: "No need."
Her eyes moved slightly, and the next moment she heard him say: "You will never have the chance to leave again."
Wei Jie's cold fingertips fell On her neck, Xue Li thought of the feeling of being close to death last night, and couldn't help but feel lingering fear. He subconsciously moved back to avoid it, but he grabbed the back of her neck again.
"Run again and I will have your legs chopped off." His tone was calm, without any intention of teasing her.
Xue Li's expression changed after hearing this. He stiffened up and applied the medicine. Wei Jie still refused to leave, so he reached into the quilt and took out her legs.
She asked doubtfully: "Didn't you take medicine?"
Wei Jie lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on one spot, and pointedly said: "There is one spot left... Didn't you say it hurts?"
Xue Li was stunned for a moment. After reacting, his face heated up and he said angrily: "No need."
Since Xue Li didn't appreciate the favor, Wei Jie had no intention of forcing it. However, he thought of the blood stains on his robe last night, hesitated for a moment, and turned around and said: "Let me take a look. If the injury is serious, you still need to apply medicine."
Wei Jie's face was calm, without any evil thoughts, and his tone was serious. Xue Li became even more annoyed. He kicked him and got back on the bed to lie down. He stood up and turned his back to him without saying a word.
Xue Li felt Wei Jie's arms around her waist and was about to pick her up. She said impatiently: "It hurts me to death and it has nothing to do with you! Don't touch me!"
Wei Jie frowned and was about to press the button. After stopping her, she heard a shout from outside the door: "Wei Lanzhang, come out!"
Xue Li was stunned when she heard this familiar voice. When she realized that the person coming was Xia Houxin, she became more and more angry and her face became dark. Go down.
"Don't pay attention to him."
Xue Li endured the sore throat and said, "You're right..."
Wei Jie interrupted her and replied, "I ordered him to handle military affairs last night. Several of his men did something wrong. As a general, , he should naturally handle it personally."
Xia Houxin was still shouting outside the door, angrily saying: "...I almost asked you to kill me! I will definitely report this matter to the county official and let him comment..."
Soon A guard took Xia Houxin away, and Wei Jie pushed her legs away and continued to apply the medicine.
Next to the bed were the new clothes sent to Xue Li. There was no maid dressing up here, and Xue Li himself had no intention of combing his hair into a bun, letting his dark hair hang on his shoulders. Wei Jie was handling government affairs aside, and letters were sent from time to time. Xue Li sat beside him boredly, until another waiter came to report that Zhao Tong's troops had gone to attack Yecheng.
She glanced at Wei Jie angrily and sighed secretly in her heart. Now the soldiers and horses are heading towards Yecheng, and there is still a city that belongs to Zhao Tong to defend. Even if she falls into Wei Jie's hands now, they cannot rescue her immediately.
Wei Jie's hand holding the pen did not pause, nor did he look at her, but he seemed to have guessed her thoughts and said: "Don't think about waiting for someone to save you. Don't say that I won't lose in his hands, even if I lose." , you have to die with me, whether life or death, you can only belong to me."
This was what Xue Li said in person at that time to coax Wei Jie. Now that he heard it from his mouth again, he did not refute it even if he was angry. confidence.
Regret for the past is really regret for the past.
Xue Li cursed a few words in his heart, then suddenly recalled Xue Ling and asked: "Xue Ling, who was captured with me last night, where did he go?"
Wei Jie smiled and said: "You are quite calculating. , deliberately saying that we are brothers with him, Xia Houxin can't do anything to you and me, and now he will definitely torture your good brother."
Xue Li glanced at him and sneered: "When it comes to calculations, how can I compare with my cousin. "
Wei Jie put down his pen and looked towards her with a half-smile, which made her feel frightened in her heart.
"Ms. Li, are you blaming me for breaking up you and Liang Yan, or are you pointing to something else?" "
How dare I blame my cousin?"
"Is there anything you don't dare to do?" Wei Jie snorted lightly and said, " You have been thinking about Liang Yan for a long time, and went to Shangjun to find him, sleeping and sleeping all the way, but he left you easily. This is what you call worthiness, the person you tried so hard to get."
Wei Jixian Sometimes when he is so mean, even his tone is a bit mocking. "Your methods are not smart enough, and your judgment of people is really bad."
Xue Li didn't want to be mentioned about Liang Yan the most. After all, the two of them had treated each other sincerely, and finally ended up in a sad ending. She still felt that Reluctantly, thinking about all the things in the past, I still can't help but feel lonely. However, because of this, she really couldn't bear Wei Jie's ridicule, as if everything she did was extremely ridiculous and extremely sad. She got angry because of Liang Yan, but now she can no longer reconcile with Liang Yan. , it seems that even her years of love have become a joke.
She took a deep breath, clasped her sleeves with her fingers, met Wei Jie's eyes, and said: "So what, I am willing to do this, and I have never felt that I have made a mistake in my love. It is naturally worth it, not to mention that the means are not enough." Gao Ming, my cousin is very pleased to see him."
Wei Jie's dark eyes were like a dark and cold rainy night. He chuckled and said slowly: "Do you really like him so much?"
Xue Li glared at him, Wei Jie said angrily and perfunctorily: "My favorite cousin is my favorite."
Wei Jie didn't expect that she would say that. He was stunned for a moment. Although he knew that what she said was not true, he was not too angry. After thinking about it, he decided to leave it for now. Let her go for once.
Not long after, Wei Jie left the room to handle government affairs. Jin Zheng leaned against the door with his sword in his arms, staring at Xue Li motionless.
She took a sip of hot tea, glanced in Jin Zheng's direction, and sneered: "Don't you have anything else to do, sir? What's the point of just staring at me?"
Jin Zheng ignored her and didn't notice at all. His eyes were very offensive, and he still stared at Xue Li's every move.
"If you have a dog, you won't be such a housekeeper."
Xue Li also felt that her words were too sharp and hurtful. However, she herself was not comfortable, so she had to care whether Wei Jie's people were happy or not. She couldn't treat Wei Jie How about it, can't you vent a few words about this stupid subordinate?
No matter what she did, Jin Zheng's eyes seemed to be glued to her.
She became increasingly impatient and asked, "You want to watch me take off my clothes?"
Jin Zheng remained silent, as if he was mute.
"It's true that the kind of dog he breeds is the kind of master he has." After she finished speaking harshly, she pretended to take off her clothes. As soon as she finished speaking, the person outside the door paused
and said, "What kind of master am I?" He bowed and said, "
Mrs. Take it off?" Xue Li lowered his head and said with a guilty conscience: "It was a little hot just now." "It's not hot outside, so I went out and stood for half an hour." "It's not hot now." He looked at Xue Li's face and said with a smile, "Li Mom, don’t you want to see me?” She knew that she was not willing to see me. However, Wei Jie's words also made her suddenly think of something weird about herself. "Did you give me any medicine?" She asked tentatively, but Wei Jie responded without hesitation: "It is true."
