Lin Zhi hugged the baby and kept crying, which attracted a lot of appreciating eyes from all around.Seeing him looking at him with tears in his eyes, Jiang Chuting seemed to have a thousand things to say and ask, and said, "I'll talk about it when I go back."
Compared to Lin Zhi, his reaction was too peaceful and calm, as if it wasn't a big deal at all.
This made Lin Zhi feel very bad, so he hugged Xing'er anxiously and went back to the inn with him.
The two sat down at the table, and Lin Zhixian spoke.
"Chuting, I'm sorry."
Xing'er was tired, so she fell asleep in Lin Zhi's arms. His face was still full of tears, and he spoke in a low voice: "I really deserve to die. I didn't know anything at the time, and I insulted you. I'm an asshole. Although I apologize It didn't work, but I still have to say, I'm really sorry..."
Jiang Chuting took a sip of the teacup slowly.How chilling I was at that time is still unforgettable to this day. Hearing him solemnly apologize for this, I couldn't tell what it was like in my heart. I just said: "It's been a long time, so I don't need to mention it again."
The more he behaved like this, the more flustered Lin Zhi became: "I was too jealous at that time, and my mind was not clear, so I said those things to you. How could I let you be wrong..." Lin Zhi suddenly couldn't continue. , because the more he said, the more he felt that he was making a shameless excuse.
Stopping to find Jiang Chuting quietly looking at him, Lin Zhi choked up, then looked back at him and said in a shy voice: "I only want to marry you from the beginning to the end, and I will only have you in my life. I admit that I used to treat The relationship is indeed immature, and I always trust others, and I have done a lot of wrong things... But as long as you are willing to give me a chance, I swear, I will never do it again in the future."
Jiang Chuting withdrew his gaze, put the teacup back on the table gently, without saying a word.
Of course, Lin Zhi didn't expect him to express his opinion. The atmosphere was silent for a long time, and he asked cautiously: "Chuting, that medicine...why did you get tricked before?"
Jiang Chuting's eyes flickered slightly, he raised his eyelids to look at him, and asked, "You really want to know?"
Lin Zhi nodded vigorously.He wondered if he had a direct relationship with his grandmother and mother again.
That being the case, let him do as he wished, Jiang Chuting said in a straightforward tone that he was caught and given medicine by Lin Xuan because he was looking for him.
Even though he was prepared, Lin Zhi was still shocked. It turned out that Chuting encountered these things because of him...
He and Jiang Chuting have investigated the matter of testing the medicine. He knows better than anyone else that the medicine is not stable, and if you are not careful, you will get strange diseases, and even kill you.
If Chuting had been less lucky, he would have died in the first place.
When Lin Zhi thought of this possibility, his heart seemed to be crushed in an instant, and his face was a little paler than before: "How could this be?"
Only then did he know that when he met Chuting for the first time when he grew up, he asked Chuting if he had looked for him before, and Chuting replied "I have been looking for him for a long time".
How much suffering did Chuting endure because of him in places he couldn't see?
As for him, he can only act willfully and recklessly, what he does most to Chuting is satire and humiliation...
Now, what makes him have the courage to pester Chuting all the time?
Lin Zhi's mood became more and more confused, he felt that he was really bad, and his expression was a little dazed.The hateful thing is that he can't leave Chuting anymore, and he will continue to entangle him for the rest of his life.
Jiang Chuting asked, "Who did you meet when you went out just now?"
Now, what the Lin family did has not been made public to the world, Lin Zhi must have met someone, and only then did he know the truth about the drug test, and guess Xing'er's life experience.
Seeing the panic in Lin Zhi's eyes for a moment, Jiang Chuting watched his reaction and already knew it in his heart.
Lin Xi.
Lin Zhi admitted nervously: "Just now, I went to see my mother for the last time."
Sure enough it was her.
After a pause, Lin Zhi hesitated and said, "Chuting, you..."
He hesitated to speak, but Jiang Chuting understood what he meant, Lin knew it was because he was worried that he would arrest Lin Xi.
Now the situation is special, he has to guard the few people around him, and he will not do it himself.
"There are chasing soldiers everywhere now. If I don't make a move, what do you think is the chance for her to escape successfully?"
"You have to try, otherwise, there is really only a dead end."
No matter how bad Lin Xi is, she is also Lin Zhi's mother, so it's not surprising that he would think so.Jiang Chuting no longer expresses his views on this.
"Chuting, I have something to tell you..."
"what's up?"
"I wanted to take my father's ashes back for burial, but Hong Yufei said he was gone..." Lin knew that Chuting would still look for his father's coffin when the time came, and decided to tell him after hesitating for a long time.
Jiang Chuting's face changed: "It's gone, why is it gone?"
When mentioning his father's matter, Chu Ting really cared about it, swallowing the bitterness in his throat, Lin Zhi said: "I don't know the specifics."
Jiang Chuting slowed down, restrained his expression, did not continue to ask questions, his eyes were fixed on a certain place, and he was slightly lost in thought.
Lin Zhi hugged Xing'er and stared at him nicely, the more he looked at him, the more painful he felt.
Lin Zhi soon discovered that after getting acquainted with Xing'er, except for the fact that Xing'er called him changed, there was really no difference from before.
Jiang Chuting didn't mention that he was going to go on the road, and met Lu Zhao for several days, drinking tea, chatting, playing chess, and hanging out, completely ignoring him.
Lu Zhao obviously doesn't like him, Lin Zhi can feel it.
When facing Jiang Chuting and him, Lu Zhao has completely different faces. Moreover, he treats Xing'er in a normal way, but treats Wei Jia in a fair manner.
Lin Zhi thought about it and there was only one possibility, that is, this Lu Zhao was interested in Chuting.
Because of this person, Lin Zhi tossed and turned almost every night, suffering so much, but there was nothing he could do.Everything he suffers now is retribution for him in the past.
On this day, Jiang Chuting went to Jinse Bieyuan to play chess with Lu Zhao, Yuan Sang and Yuan Xia waited on him, and Lin Zhi took Xing'er to play in the yard next to him.
He was about to die of pain, but he could only glance there from time to time with sour eyes, not daring to have any opinions.
When Lu Zhao was playing chess, his sleeve slipped down, and Jiang Chuting saw the bright red rope on his wrist again.
Yuan Sang noticed his eyes, smiled and said to him: "Our master wears this red thread called Yuelao, but we are used to calling it a marriage rope. In our hometown, when marriage ceremonies are held, Yuelao will wear it for them on this."
"Yuelao's red line?" Jiang Chuting repeated in a low voice, thinking of something, couldn't help but smiled knowingly, and asked: "Is there really Yuelao?"
Yuan Sang said: "Of course not. In fact, he is just an ordinary old man. He just wants to express his blessing."
"Brother Lu, you..." Lu Zhao has it in his hand, could it be that he is married?
Lu Zhao understood, and immediately said: "No." He quickly added: "I'm not married, I just wear it casually."
Yuan Sang joked: "Yes, wear it casually, in case you meet someone you like, you can tie him up with a marriage rope and pay homage directly."
Jiang Chuting couldn't help chuckling.
Lu Zhao stared at him with dark eyes, and said softly, "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Chuting lost his son, his expression was obviously recalling the past, and he said with a light smile, "I just thought of a friend. He once said that he believed that there is a real Yuelao in this world, and that he wanted to find Yuelao, and use a red rope to wrap... He's tied to the people he loves life after life. He's always willing to believe that."
The chess piece that Lu Zhao had just picked up suddenly fell back into the chess cup.
Jiang Chuting stared at his face with clear and moist eyes, and lost his mind for a moment: "Actually, you and my friend are really similar. If I didn't kill him with my own hands..."
Having said that, Jiang Chuting stopped in time.
Lu Zhao's eyelashes fluttered several times, and he stared blankly at him.
Yuan Sang asked curiously: "Really? What kind of friend? You can bring it here so I can see if it looks like that."
Jiang Chuting forced a smile and said, "It's too far away, I can't get in touch anymore."
Yuan Sang didn't doubt that it was there, so he could only say, "That's really a pity."
In the evening, a group of them left, and Lu Zhao and Yuan Xia talked about things alone in the room.
Yuan Xia just got the news that Lin Xi managed to escape from Jiaxing City under the siege of many officers and soldiers.
"My lord, since we already know Lin Xi's location, why didn't we report it directly to the government and let them arrest her? Now that she has escaped, what if we really let her escape in the future... Your lord?"
Lu Zhao was preoccupied, and Yuan Xia yelled a few times before he raised his eyes and said apologetically, "I was a little distracted, sorry, you continue."
Yuan Xia knew that he must not have listened just now, so he asked again.
Lu Zhaoshou tapped twice on the armrest of the wheelchair with his long fingers, and said slowly: "She won't escape, don't worry."
"Well, that's good." Yuan Xia also believed that evil will be rewarded with evil.
Yuan Xia thought for a while, and asked bluntly, "My lord, do you like Mr. Jiang?"
He had never seen the Lord treat anyone so special before.A few days ago, Yuan Sang saw the lord smiling at Mr. Jiang, and was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out. It turned out that he could laugh!
He and Yuan Sang had discussed it in private, and agreed that the Lord admired him.
The position of Lord on Penglai Island is chosen by God, the Lord does not have to leave heirs, and as long as he has good and sincere feelings, he will be blessed by the islanders, so it doesn't matter if he likes men.
In addition, both of them have a good impression of Jiang Chuting, and they are very supportive of this matter.
Lu Zhao was silent for a moment, didn't respond, but didn't deny it either.
Yuan Xia suggested: "I think Young Master Jiang treats you very well, why don't we help you find out what he means?"
Most of the people on their island are very straightforward, if you like it, you like it, if you hate it, you hate it, unlike when he was outside, he realized that people can have so many twists and turns, so graceful that he couldn't figure it out.
Lu Zhao lowered his eyes, his eyes were dim and hazy, and said in a low voice: "No need...it's not as simple as you think."
He said that, Yuan Xia didn't want to say any more, so he could only scratch his head and backed down.
……
That night, Xing'er, who was originally fine, developed a high fever without warning, was mentally lethargic, and vomited whatever she ate.
This is the first time he has been sick since he was born.He was in poor health, and he was a little fussy. After asking the doctor to get some medicine for him to drink, Jiang Chuting and Lin Zhi exchanged hugs and coaxed him for a long time before falling into a deep sleep.
Lin Zhi said he would stay and watch with Jiang Chuting, and Jiang Chuting acquiesced.
The two kept taking turns changing Xing'er's cold compress towels, and when Xing'er was sweating, Jiang Chuting was about to pick him up to take a bath, but Lin Zhi had already prepared the hot water, so he came over to hug the child: "I'll come, you rest for a while .”
After taking a bath, the heat subsided a little, and Xing'er's energy was much better. She hugged Lin Zhi's neck and laughed from time to time.
Jiang Chuting fed Xing'er some white porridge, and after bouncing around for a while, the heat came up again.His body was weak, and he lay back on the bed sullenly, his eyes wide open and motionless, the complete opposite of his lively appearance just now.
Jiang Chuting turned his head and found that Lin Zhi's eyes were red with distress, he was trying his best to hold back the tears that were about to fall in the next moment, and he was gently kneading Xing'er's little hand, as if thinking that doing so would make him feel better.
Xing'er exhaled hot air, calling: "Daddy."
Lin Zhi immediately moved closer, and asked softly, "Is it uncomfortable?"
Xing'er's nose was flushed, she hummed in a crying voice, and reached out to Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi picked him up with wet eyes, patted him on the shoulder, and kept pacing and coaxing him softly in the room: "Be good, Xing'er is good, it won't be hard for Daddy to woo you."
Xing'er rubbed against his face, and leaned softly on his shoulder.
Watching this scene, Jiang Chuting's heart was caught off guard and violently jerked. It was painful, sore and swollen. This sudden and unstoppable turbulence made him completely unable to calm down.
Jiang Chuting never questioned Lin Zhi's feelings for Xing'er or his attitude of admitting his mistakes.
After the reunion, Lin Zhi couldn't help reflecting and apologizing for the past.In fact, he didn't care as much about some things as Lin Zhi imagined. After all, he was the one who lied to Lin Zhi first, so he deserved it.
If Lin Zhi's determination to marry Li Ruoshuang hadn't touched his bottom line later, even if he had been treated coldly, he would not have easily left his side.
Because he loves Lin Zhi.
In the more than two years since he left, even if he forced himself to forget, even if he has been mercilessly pushing Lin Zhi away, he still can't lie to himself no matter what.
In fact, his feelings for Lin Zhi had never been broken.
The Lin family is about to be destroyed, no matter whether Lin Xi runs away or dies, Lin knows that she will have no relatives around her in the future.He didn't choose to run for his life, but put all his eggs in one basket to stay, and he would definitely continue to stay by his and Xing'er's side in the future, and he couldn't drive them away or get rid of them.
One to entangle, the other to avoid, will they continue to entangle and grind endlessly like this in the future?
Xing'er relies on him so much, will she be willing to separate from him from time to time in the future?
And the most important thing is... Is the self who has been resolutely rejecting him and being indifferent to him, really what I want in my heart?
Jiang Chuting took a deep breath, never expecting that because of the scene just now, when facing Lin Zhishi's heart, which was deliberately wrapped in ice, it suddenly began to shake.
For most of the next night, the two changed the towels for the child, took a bath, and fed the medicine. It didn't stop for a while, and finally the heat subsided, and the child fell asleep peacefully.
Jiang Chuting breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed.Lin Zhi didn't intend to go back to the room, so he begged Jiang Chuting in a low voice: "I'm still not at ease, so let me take care of it here, okay?"
Jiang Chuting glanced at him.
Lin Zhi hurriedly assured: "Don't worry, I definitely don't want to take this opportunity to do anything to you, I'm just worried about Xing'er..."
"Lie down and rest for a while."
Lin Zhi thought he was too tired and had auditory hallucinations, so he stared at Jiang Chuting without blinking, and asked with great uncertainty: "Chuting, did you talk to me just now?"
Jiang Chuting said: "I said, you have worked hard all night, lie down and rest for a while."
Lin Zhi was stunned for a moment before lying down on the outside of the bed in a daze.The bed was very spacious, and there was a star in the middle, but he was still so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe, for fear that a little force would break this dream.
Although Jiang Chuting was tired, he couldn't fall asleep, so he closed his eyes and rested his mind.
He could feel that Lin Zhi's eyes were staring at him all the time, and he didn't look away for a moment.
For a long time, Jiang Chuting didn't open his eyes, and couldn't help but whispered: "Don't watch, go to sleep."
Lin Zhi said softly: "Chuting, thank you."
Not understanding why he thanked him suddenly, Jiang Chuting moved his eyelashes and finally opened them.
The room was dimly lit by candle lamps, and Xing'er was between the two of them, breathing gently.Lin Zhi looked at him and said, "Thank you for giving birth to Xing'er."
Jiang Chuting said: "Xing'er is also my child."
"I know, anyway, thank you, and..." Lin Zhi looked at him firmly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I really love you all."
……
The next day, Xing'er didn't have a fever anymore, so he pestered Lin Zhi early in the morning to play horseback riding. Lin Zhi put him on his neck, making wah-wah-wah sounds, and ran all over the room to make him happy.
Jiang Chuting bent his mouth almost unconsciously, and went downstairs with Wei Jia to bring up breakfast, and the four of them ate together.
Jiang Chuting received a letter from Jiang Xian that day, saying that Pei Jing's illness has almost recovered, and he is currently recuperating, and there is no movement for the time being, but he still reminds him to be careful.
After all, it would take time to deliver the letter from Jincheng to him, and he couldn't guarantee what would happen.
Jiang Chuting folded the letter and put it back, with a slightly gloomy expression.
The father and son had had enough laughing and were squatting and standing to wipe each other's sweat, Xing'er thoughtfully asked: "Daddy, are you tired?"
"Not tired." Lin Zhi stroked his soft black hair and said, "Daddy would rather be tired and you be more naughty than watch you get sick again."
"I'm all right."
"Well, it's good when it's done." Lin Zhi kissed him and asked, "Do you want to play again?"
"I want to go out and play."
A child is a child, and it doesn't take long to stay in the house.Lin Zhi didn't agree rashly, and looked at Jiang Chuting who was beside him: "Chuting, are you... still going there today?" Lin Zhi didn't want anyone else, but just wanted to go out for a stroll as a family of three.
"Today..." Before Jiang Chuting finished speaking, Wei Jia ran in and told him, "Master, Master, Brother Xiao Yuan and the others are here."
The Little Brother Yuan that Wei Jia was talking about was Yuan Sang, and Jiang Chuting immediately stood up and walked downstairs.
Lin Zhi's breath was blocked in his throat at once, he couldn't go down or up, he pursed his lips, and still led Xing'er to follow behind Jiang Chuting.
As soon as Jiang Chuting turned down the stairs, he saw three people standing one behind the other at the door of the inn.
Lu Zhao was supported by Yuan Xia, and he was not in a wheelchair. When he saw his figure, there was a gleam in his eyes, with a soft smile, and he took the initiative to meet him two steps forward.
Jiang Chuting sized him up and smiled lightly: "Brother Lu, are you feeling better?"
"Yeah." Lu Zhao fixed his eyes on him when he spoke.
Jiang Chuting happily said, "That's good."
Yuan Sang said: "When you were away, he was practicing walking, and he refused to stop for a while before going to sleep. He just got used to it, and he couldn't wait to come to you." He said quickly: "I said you are really, Our yard is so big, it would be nice for you to come and live together, if you insist on staying in this inn, it will be inconvenient to come here."
Lu Zhao glanced sideways, and Yuan Sang quickly shut up.
Jiang Chuting didn't mind at all, and invited them to sit in.Lu Zhao was originally supported by Yuan Xia. After walking a few steps, his body was unstable and suddenly tilted to the side. Jiang Chuting naturally caught him: "Be careful."
The two eyes met for a moment, then moved away at the same time, and went upstairs together.
And Lin Zhi went downstairs and went upstairs again, just like air, without any sense of existence.
Jiang Chuting and Lu Zhao chatted all morning, and after they had lunch together, they sat down and talked again.
Lin Zhi didn't know that they had only known each other for a few days, so how could they have so much to say.
Xing'er always has the habit of taking a nap, after Lin Zhi put him to sleep, he didn't put him on the bed.Holding the child and walking behind Jiang Chuting silently for two times, Lu Zhao glanced at him indifferently from the corner of his eye.
"Chuting, the child hasn't fallen asleep yet, you can hold him to sleep for a while, I have something to do when I go downstairs later."
Jiang Chuting subconsciously took Xing'er over, looked up at him, and told him as usual: "Don't go far."
"I know, I promise to be obedient." Lin Zhi showed a cute and docile smile, and raised his hand to tidy up the hair hanging on his shoulders for him, showing a natural intimacy, and said: "You guys talk first, I'll go Go and come back."
"..." Jiang Chuting looked at Lin Zhi who was striding out of the room, then turned his head to look at Lu Zhao, whose eyes were unclear, and said, "I made you laugh."
Xing'er called him daddy, and Lin Zhi called daddy. Lu Zhao and the others never asked, but they probably had some speculation about the relationship between him and Lin Zhi.
Lu Zhao said: "No."
Jiang Chuting said: "Where did you just say?"
"Can not remember."
Jiang Chuting could sense the obvious change in his mood, and asked softly, "Brother Lu?"
Lu Zhao took two sips of tea in silence, put down the teacup, stood up and said, "I've been bothering you for a long time today, so I'll take my leave first."
"Are you leaving now?" Jiang Chuting was about to get up to see him off, but Lu Zhao put his hand on his shoulder lightly, his eyes were dim, but his voice was still warm: "Don't see me off, don't wake the child up."
Yuan Xia heard the movement and hurried in to help him.
Jiang Chuting sat on the stool without moving as he said, watched them leave, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, when a sudden intuition struck, and he was immediately surprised and uncertain.
Lu Zhao's behavior just now, could it be towards him... Jiang Chuting closed his eyes, and his breath suddenly became chaotic.
Lin Zhizheng and Zhao Chengyang were talking quietly at the street corner near the inn. Not long after, they saw Lu Zhao and his party leave. Lin Zhi was overjoyed, and started to go back quickly, but was dragged back by Zhao Chengyang.
"I haven't finished talking yet, why are you running?" Zhao Chengyang was sweating anxiously: "Do you think I'm joking? You will never be able to escape if this incident becomes serious. You still have the mood to be here Youzai Youzai swaggering through the market? Crazy!"
Lin knew: "Anyway, wherever Chuting is, I will be there."
"Your mother ran away, why didn't you run away? Even if you didn't run away, you avoided the limelight. It's strange—" Zhao Chengyang couldn't understand it: "Jiang Daxia should know your situation, why didn't he take you to hide Whereabouts, but still ostentatiously staying at the inn, as if waiting for someone to catch you."
Lin Zhi frowned and said: "He's right again, of course he lives in the hotel, I'm the one who pestered him with shamelessness, do you want him to accommodate me?"
Zhao Chengyang was speechless for a while, thought for a while, and said: "This doesn't look like him, anyway, things are weird."
"It's nothing weird, I asked for everything."
"... Lin Zhi is still the same Lin Zhi." Zhao Chengyang was also helpless, and tried to persuade him: "But think about it, is saving your life the most important thing now? If your life is gone, what are you doing with Jiang Daxia? I The trustee arranged a big ship for you, and you temporarily go to sea with them to escape to another country, and you will have a lot of opportunities to meet in the future."
Lin Zhi withdrew his hand, stared at his good friend who was still worrying about him at this moment, suddenly opened his arms to hug him, and then let go after a pause.
"You also know that your life is important. If you still come to me now, be careful not to be implicated."
Zhao Chengyang scolded: "Can you stop talking nonsense?"
Lin Zhi said in a low voice: "You have done enough for me, it is worth it to have you as a friend in this life. Don't worry about the future."
Zhao Chengyang: "I..."
Suddenly there was the sound of neat and fast approaching footsteps, and the two turned their heads at the same time, Zhao Chengyang took a breath, and Lin Zhi pulled him behind him, clenched his teeth, with a solemn expression.
The Habayashi Army headed by Mo Lin has surrounded them, there are at least a hundred of them.Let alone him, even if Chuting is here, it may not be easy to escape.
The people on the street were frightened by such a large battle, and at first glance, they were all officers and soldiers wearing light armor. They didn't push and shoved and didn't dare to scream. There are no people watching the excitement.
The originally noisy street quieted down in just a moment, and the air was full of chills.
Jiang Chuting guards Xing'er, because he has something on his mind, he is slightly lost in thought.After a while, Lin Zhi hadn't come up yet, he straightened up, frowning.
Jiang Chuting called Wei Jia who was reading comic books with relish, and asked him to help watch Xing'er, and he planned to go down to find someone.
Before he walked out the door, he stopped.He found it strange that the inn he lived in was facing the street. Although the room was well chosen and not too noisy, he could faintly hear the hawking and yelling outside on weekdays.
But at this time, it was as dead silent as if in a deserted ghost town.
This is totally abnormal.
Jiang Chuting jumped twice, already having a premonition, turned around and told Wei Jia sternly: "Look at Xing'er, no matter what you hear, don't come out."
Feeling that his tone was serious, Wei Jia nodded again and again, put aside the comic book, and stood by the bed with his arms outstretched in a protective posture.
Only then did Jiang Chuting close the door, and walked downstairs on the steps.
On the first floor of the lobby, the shopkeeper's waiter and other guests disappeared, except for two people standing at one table and sitting at the other.
Standing was Mo Lin in black with a long sword in his hand, and the sitting man was dressed in a jade crown, his eyes were covered by a white silk cloth, and he was proud and cold.
He didn't speak, just sat there, invisibly intimidating and frightening.
Sure enough.
Therefore, he shouldn't have agreed to let Lin Zhi go out just now.Jiang Chuting quickly adjusted his breath and walked towards them.
Pei Jing, who was blindfolded and couldn't see anything, turned her face to his direction without any mistake, her lips were tightly pursed.
Jiang Chuting lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down to salute: "Caomin has seen His Majesty."
As soon as he heard his voice, Pei Jing raised his hand to cover his violently constricted heart, his expression had already started to contort, very gloomy and frightening, he asked: "Leave me, leave the palace, how are you doing?" It felt like bleeding from hatred, as if Jiang Chuting would kill him immediately if he dared to say the word "good".
Jiang Chuting said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, everything is the same as before."
Pei Jing sneered coldly: "No difference? You are the same, but I am different! I urgently need to tear you apart and drink your blood to dispel the hatred in my heart!"
Jiang Chuting remained silent.
Pei Jing stood up abruptly, pushed away Mo Lin who was about to help him, and walked unsteadily in front of Jiang Chuting while holding on to the table, reached out and grabbed his collar impartially, and pulled him up.
The two were so close that they were almost face to face.Although Jiang Chuting was deliberately covered with a cloth, Pei Jing still couldn't restrain the turbulent emotion when he got close to this person and smelled the familiar breath on his body. With a mouthful of blood, her pale lips were stained with wet red.
Mo Lin was shocked: "Your Majesty!"
He wanted to take Pei Jing away, but was pushed away by him again: "Go away!"
Mo Lin retracted his hand with a worried expression on his face.
Jiang Chuting hurriedly helped him back to the chair, trying to stay away from him, but Pei Jing tightly clenched his wrists: "What kind of Bodhisattva do you think I will let you be with other men? Tell you, I can't do it! Just now I have captured him, and I will torture him to death with my own hands, and then cut him into pieces!"
Most of what Pei Jing said to him was harsh words, but not to Lin Zhi, especially at this moment, he would definitely do what he said.The back of Jiang Chuting's neck felt cold, and he said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, just let Lin Zhi go."
"You still dare to plead?!"
Jiang Chuting's eyes turned red and he begged: "He is innocent about the Lin family's drug testing. He really doesn't know anything, and he has never had a life on his hands. Can you just let him go?"
"Impossible." Pei Jing's aura was obviously getting weaker and weaker due to the outbreak of love, but every word he uttered was like that, full of hatred: "I said before, I will find someone who will make you speechless." You can kill him for any reason, and now I tell you again, even if there is no reason, I can kill him! Even if you hate me, what can you do to me?"
"His Majesty!"
"Stop talking, it's impossible to say anything, he must die." Pei Jing's tone was cold, without any leeway.
After speaking, he coughed again, coughing and coughing, and blood came out again.
Jiang Chuting murmured: "Xiao Jiu, don't force me..."
Pei Jing's chin was dripping with blood, and he growled hoarsely: "You forced me! If you don't love me, then hate me, hate me to the bone, and you will never forget me forever!"
Mo Lin couldn't take it anymore: "Your Majesty, you really can't talk to him anymore, hurry up and leave with your subordinates."
Jiang Chuting stood still for a moment, knelt down again with a plop, and took out the cyan ring-shaped jade pendant that he had been carrying with him since he left the palace.
He whispered: "This jade pendant was given by Your Majesty on the day I gave birth to Xing'er. Do you still remember what you swore to me at that time?"
Pei Jing was blindfolded and couldn't see. He stuffed the jade pendant in his hand, and he was furious immediately: "I promised you that I spared your life, it wasn't his! Don't even think about it..."
Jiang Chuting interrupted: "Lin Zhi is my fate."
Pei Jing's body froze violently.
Jiang Chuting knelt with his back straight, looked at him with red eyes and said every word clearly: "I hope His Majesty can keep his promise, don't break his promise, and he must be spared."
Compared to Lin Zhi, his reaction was too peaceful and calm, as if it wasn't a big deal at all.
This made Lin Zhi feel very bad, so he hugged Xing'er anxiously and went back to the inn with him.
The two sat down at the table, and Lin Zhixian spoke.
"Chuting, I'm sorry."
Xing'er was tired, so she fell asleep in Lin Zhi's arms. His face was still full of tears, and he spoke in a low voice: "I really deserve to die. I didn't know anything at the time, and I insulted you. I'm an asshole. Although I apologize It didn't work, but I still have to say, I'm really sorry..."
Jiang Chuting took a sip of the teacup slowly.How chilling I was at that time is still unforgettable to this day. Hearing him solemnly apologize for this, I couldn't tell what it was like in my heart. I just said: "It's been a long time, so I don't need to mention it again."
The more he behaved like this, the more flustered Lin Zhi became: "I was too jealous at that time, and my mind was not clear, so I said those things to you. How could I let you be wrong..." Lin Zhi suddenly couldn't continue. , because the more he said, the more he felt that he was making a shameless excuse.
Stopping to find Jiang Chuting quietly looking at him, Lin Zhi choked up, then looked back at him and said in a shy voice: "I only want to marry you from the beginning to the end, and I will only have you in my life. I admit that I used to treat The relationship is indeed immature, and I always trust others, and I have done a lot of wrong things... But as long as you are willing to give me a chance, I swear, I will never do it again in the future."
Jiang Chuting withdrew his gaze, put the teacup back on the table gently, without saying a word.
Of course, Lin Zhi didn't expect him to express his opinion. The atmosphere was silent for a long time, and he asked cautiously: "Chuting, that medicine...why did you get tricked before?"
Jiang Chuting's eyes flickered slightly, he raised his eyelids to look at him, and asked, "You really want to know?"
Lin Zhi nodded vigorously.He wondered if he had a direct relationship with his grandmother and mother again.
That being the case, let him do as he wished, Jiang Chuting said in a straightforward tone that he was caught and given medicine by Lin Xuan because he was looking for him.
Even though he was prepared, Lin Zhi was still shocked. It turned out that Chuting encountered these things because of him...
He and Jiang Chuting have investigated the matter of testing the medicine. He knows better than anyone else that the medicine is not stable, and if you are not careful, you will get strange diseases, and even kill you.
If Chuting had been less lucky, he would have died in the first place.
When Lin Zhi thought of this possibility, his heart seemed to be crushed in an instant, and his face was a little paler than before: "How could this be?"
Only then did he know that when he met Chuting for the first time when he grew up, he asked Chuting if he had looked for him before, and Chuting replied "I have been looking for him for a long time".
How much suffering did Chuting endure because of him in places he couldn't see?
As for him, he can only act willfully and recklessly, what he does most to Chuting is satire and humiliation...
Now, what makes him have the courage to pester Chuting all the time?
Lin Zhi's mood became more and more confused, he felt that he was really bad, and his expression was a little dazed.The hateful thing is that he can't leave Chuting anymore, and he will continue to entangle him for the rest of his life.
Jiang Chuting asked, "Who did you meet when you went out just now?"
Now, what the Lin family did has not been made public to the world, Lin Zhi must have met someone, and only then did he know the truth about the drug test, and guess Xing'er's life experience.
Seeing the panic in Lin Zhi's eyes for a moment, Jiang Chuting watched his reaction and already knew it in his heart.
Lin Xi.
Lin Zhi admitted nervously: "Just now, I went to see my mother for the last time."
Sure enough it was her.
After a pause, Lin Zhi hesitated and said, "Chuting, you..."
He hesitated to speak, but Jiang Chuting understood what he meant, Lin knew it was because he was worried that he would arrest Lin Xi.
Now the situation is special, he has to guard the few people around him, and he will not do it himself.
"There are chasing soldiers everywhere now. If I don't make a move, what do you think is the chance for her to escape successfully?"
"You have to try, otherwise, there is really only a dead end."
No matter how bad Lin Xi is, she is also Lin Zhi's mother, so it's not surprising that he would think so.Jiang Chuting no longer expresses his views on this.
"Chuting, I have something to tell you..."
"what's up?"
"I wanted to take my father's ashes back for burial, but Hong Yufei said he was gone..." Lin knew that Chuting would still look for his father's coffin when the time came, and decided to tell him after hesitating for a long time.
Jiang Chuting's face changed: "It's gone, why is it gone?"
When mentioning his father's matter, Chu Ting really cared about it, swallowing the bitterness in his throat, Lin Zhi said: "I don't know the specifics."
Jiang Chuting slowed down, restrained his expression, did not continue to ask questions, his eyes were fixed on a certain place, and he was slightly lost in thought.
Lin Zhi hugged Xing'er and stared at him nicely, the more he looked at him, the more painful he felt.
Lin Zhi soon discovered that after getting acquainted with Xing'er, except for the fact that Xing'er called him changed, there was really no difference from before.
Jiang Chuting didn't mention that he was going to go on the road, and met Lu Zhao for several days, drinking tea, chatting, playing chess, and hanging out, completely ignoring him.
Lu Zhao obviously doesn't like him, Lin Zhi can feel it.
When facing Jiang Chuting and him, Lu Zhao has completely different faces. Moreover, he treats Xing'er in a normal way, but treats Wei Jia in a fair manner.
Lin Zhi thought about it and there was only one possibility, that is, this Lu Zhao was interested in Chuting.
Because of this person, Lin Zhi tossed and turned almost every night, suffering so much, but there was nothing he could do.Everything he suffers now is retribution for him in the past.
On this day, Jiang Chuting went to Jinse Bieyuan to play chess with Lu Zhao, Yuan Sang and Yuan Xia waited on him, and Lin Zhi took Xing'er to play in the yard next to him.
He was about to die of pain, but he could only glance there from time to time with sour eyes, not daring to have any opinions.
When Lu Zhao was playing chess, his sleeve slipped down, and Jiang Chuting saw the bright red rope on his wrist again.
Yuan Sang noticed his eyes, smiled and said to him: "Our master wears this red thread called Yuelao, but we are used to calling it a marriage rope. In our hometown, when marriage ceremonies are held, Yuelao will wear it for them on this."
"Yuelao's red line?" Jiang Chuting repeated in a low voice, thinking of something, couldn't help but smiled knowingly, and asked: "Is there really Yuelao?"
Yuan Sang said: "Of course not. In fact, he is just an ordinary old man. He just wants to express his blessing."
"Brother Lu, you..." Lu Zhao has it in his hand, could it be that he is married?
Lu Zhao understood, and immediately said: "No." He quickly added: "I'm not married, I just wear it casually."
Yuan Sang joked: "Yes, wear it casually, in case you meet someone you like, you can tie him up with a marriage rope and pay homage directly."
Jiang Chuting couldn't help chuckling.
Lu Zhao stared at him with dark eyes, and said softly, "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Chuting lost his son, his expression was obviously recalling the past, and he said with a light smile, "I just thought of a friend. He once said that he believed that there is a real Yuelao in this world, and that he wanted to find Yuelao, and use a red rope to wrap... He's tied to the people he loves life after life. He's always willing to believe that."
The chess piece that Lu Zhao had just picked up suddenly fell back into the chess cup.
Jiang Chuting stared at his face with clear and moist eyes, and lost his mind for a moment: "Actually, you and my friend are really similar. If I didn't kill him with my own hands..."
Having said that, Jiang Chuting stopped in time.
Lu Zhao's eyelashes fluttered several times, and he stared blankly at him.
Yuan Sang asked curiously: "Really? What kind of friend? You can bring it here so I can see if it looks like that."
Jiang Chuting forced a smile and said, "It's too far away, I can't get in touch anymore."
Yuan Sang didn't doubt that it was there, so he could only say, "That's really a pity."
In the evening, a group of them left, and Lu Zhao and Yuan Xia talked about things alone in the room.
Yuan Xia just got the news that Lin Xi managed to escape from Jiaxing City under the siege of many officers and soldiers.
"My lord, since we already know Lin Xi's location, why didn't we report it directly to the government and let them arrest her? Now that she has escaped, what if we really let her escape in the future... Your lord?"
Lu Zhao was preoccupied, and Yuan Xia yelled a few times before he raised his eyes and said apologetically, "I was a little distracted, sorry, you continue."
Yuan Xia knew that he must not have listened just now, so he asked again.
Lu Zhaoshou tapped twice on the armrest of the wheelchair with his long fingers, and said slowly: "She won't escape, don't worry."
"Well, that's good." Yuan Xia also believed that evil will be rewarded with evil.
Yuan Xia thought for a while, and asked bluntly, "My lord, do you like Mr. Jiang?"
He had never seen the Lord treat anyone so special before.A few days ago, Yuan Sang saw the lord smiling at Mr. Jiang, and was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out. It turned out that he could laugh!
He and Yuan Sang had discussed it in private, and agreed that the Lord admired him.
The position of Lord on Penglai Island is chosen by God, the Lord does not have to leave heirs, and as long as he has good and sincere feelings, he will be blessed by the islanders, so it doesn't matter if he likes men.
In addition, both of them have a good impression of Jiang Chuting, and they are very supportive of this matter.
Lu Zhao was silent for a moment, didn't respond, but didn't deny it either.
Yuan Xia suggested: "I think Young Master Jiang treats you very well, why don't we help you find out what he means?"
Most of the people on their island are very straightforward, if you like it, you like it, if you hate it, you hate it, unlike when he was outside, he realized that people can have so many twists and turns, so graceful that he couldn't figure it out.
Lu Zhao lowered his eyes, his eyes were dim and hazy, and said in a low voice: "No need...it's not as simple as you think."
He said that, Yuan Xia didn't want to say any more, so he could only scratch his head and backed down.
……
That night, Xing'er, who was originally fine, developed a high fever without warning, was mentally lethargic, and vomited whatever she ate.
This is the first time he has been sick since he was born.He was in poor health, and he was a little fussy. After asking the doctor to get some medicine for him to drink, Jiang Chuting and Lin Zhi exchanged hugs and coaxed him for a long time before falling into a deep sleep.
Lin Zhi said he would stay and watch with Jiang Chuting, and Jiang Chuting acquiesced.
The two kept taking turns changing Xing'er's cold compress towels, and when Xing'er was sweating, Jiang Chuting was about to pick him up to take a bath, but Lin Zhi had already prepared the hot water, so he came over to hug the child: "I'll come, you rest for a while .”
After taking a bath, the heat subsided a little, and Xing'er's energy was much better. She hugged Lin Zhi's neck and laughed from time to time.
Jiang Chuting fed Xing'er some white porridge, and after bouncing around for a while, the heat came up again.His body was weak, and he lay back on the bed sullenly, his eyes wide open and motionless, the complete opposite of his lively appearance just now.
Jiang Chuting turned his head and found that Lin Zhi's eyes were red with distress, he was trying his best to hold back the tears that were about to fall in the next moment, and he was gently kneading Xing'er's little hand, as if thinking that doing so would make him feel better.
Xing'er exhaled hot air, calling: "Daddy."
Lin Zhi immediately moved closer, and asked softly, "Is it uncomfortable?"
Xing'er's nose was flushed, she hummed in a crying voice, and reached out to Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi picked him up with wet eyes, patted him on the shoulder, and kept pacing and coaxing him softly in the room: "Be good, Xing'er is good, it won't be hard for Daddy to woo you."
Xing'er rubbed against his face, and leaned softly on his shoulder.
Watching this scene, Jiang Chuting's heart was caught off guard and violently jerked. It was painful, sore and swollen. This sudden and unstoppable turbulence made him completely unable to calm down.
Jiang Chuting never questioned Lin Zhi's feelings for Xing'er or his attitude of admitting his mistakes.
After the reunion, Lin Zhi couldn't help reflecting and apologizing for the past.In fact, he didn't care as much about some things as Lin Zhi imagined. After all, he was the one who lied to Lin Zhi first, so he deserved it.
If Lin Zhi's determination to marry Li Ruoshuang hadn't touched his bottom line later, even if he had been treated coldly, he would not have easily left his side.
Because he loves Lin Zhi.
In the more than two years since he left, even if he forced himself to forget, even if he has been mercilessly pushing Lin Zhi away, he still can't lie to himself no matter what.
In fact, his feelings for Lin Zhi had never been broken.
The Lin family is about to be destroyed, no matter whether Lin Xi runs away or dies, Lin knows that she will have no relatives around her in the future.He didn't choose to run for his life, but put all his eggs in one basket to stay, and he would definitely continue to stay by his and Xing'er's side in the future, and he couldn't drive them away or get rid of them.
One to entangle, the other to avoid, will they continue to entangle and grind endlessly like this in the future?
Xing'er relies on him so much, will she be willing to separate from him from time to time in the future?
And the most important thing is... Is the self who has been resolutely rejecting him and being indifferent to him, really what I want in my heart?
Jiang Chuting took a deep breath, never expecting that because of the scene just now, when facing Lin Zhishi's heart, which was deliberately wrapped in ice, it suddenly began to shake.
For most of the next night, the two changed the towels for the child, took a bath, and fed the medicine. It didn't stop for a while, and finally the heat subsided, and the child fell asleep peacefully.
Jiang Chuting breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed.Lin Zhi didn't intend to go back to the room, so he begged Jiang Chuting in a low voice: "I'm still not at ease, so let me take care of it here, okay?"
Jiang Chuting glanced at him.
Lin Zhi hurriedly assured: "Don't worry, I definitely don't want to take this opportunity to do anything to you, I'm just worried about Xing'er..."
"Lie down and rest for a while."
Lin Zhi thought he was too tired and had auditory hallucinations, so he stared at Jiang Chuting without blinking, and asked with great uncertainty: "Chuting, did you talk to me just now?"
Jiang Chuting said: "I said, you have worked hard all night, lie down and rest for a while."
Lin Zhi was stunned for a moment before lying down on the outside of the bed in a daze.The bed was very spacious, and there was a star in the middle, but he was still so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe, for fear that a little force would break this dream.
Although Jiang Chuting was tired, he couldn't fall asleep, so he closed his eyes and rested his mind.
He could feel that Lin Zhi's eyes were staring at him all the time, and he didn't look away for a moment.
For a long time, Jiang Chuting didn't open his eyes, and couldn't help but whispered: "Don't watch, go to sleep."
Lin Zhi said softly: "Chuting, thank you."
Not understanding why he thanked him suddenly, Jiang Chuting moved his eyelashes and finally opened them.
The room was dimly lit by candle lamps, and Xing'er was between the two of them, breathing gently.Lin Zhi looked at him and said, "Thank you for giving birth to Xing'er."
Jiang Chuting said: "Xing'er is also my child."
"I know, anyway, thank you, and..." Lin Zhi looked at him firmly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I really love you all."
……
The next day, Xing'er didn't have a fever anymore, so he pestered Lin Zhi early in the morning to play horseback riding. Lin Zhi put him on his neck, making wah-wah-wah sounds, and ran all over the room to make him happy.
Jiang Chuting bent his mouth almost unconsciously, and went downstairs with Wei Jia to bring up breakfast, and the four of them ate together.
Jiang Chuting received a letter from Jiang Xian that day, saying that Pei Jing's illness has almost recovered, and he is currently recuperating, and there is no movement for the time being, but he still reminds him to be careful.
After all, it would take time to deliver the letter from Jincheng to him, and he couldn't guarantee what would happen.
Jiang Chuting folded the letter and put it back, with a slightly gloomy expression.
The father and son had had enough laughing and were squatting and standing to wipe each other's sweat, Xing'er thoughtfully asked: "Daddy, are you tired?"
"Not tired." Lin Zhi stroked his soft black hair and said, "Daddy would rather be tired and you be more naughty than watch you get sick again."
"I'm all right."
"Well, it's good when it's done." Lin Zhi kissed him and asked, "Do you want to play again?"
"I want to go out and play."
A child is a child, and it doesn't take long to stay in the house.Lin Zhi didn't agree rashly, and looked at Jiang Chuting who was beside him: "Chuting, are you... still going there today?" Lin Zhi didn't want anyone else, but just wanted to go out for a stroll as a family of three.
"Today..." Before Jiang Chuting finished speaking, Wei Jia ran in and told him, "Master, Master, Brother Xiao Yuan and the others are here."
The Little Brother Yuan that Wei Jia was talking about was Yuan Sang, and Jiang Chuting immediately stood up and walked downstairs.
Lin Zhi's breath was blocked in his throat at once, he couldn't go down or up, he pursed his lips, and still led Xing'er to follow behind Jiang Chuting.
As soon as Jiang Chuting turned down the stairs, he saw three people standing one behind the other at the door of the inn.
Lu Zhao was supported by Yuan Xia, and he was not in a wheelchair. When he saw his figure, there was a gleam in his eyes, with a soft smile, and he took the initiative to meet him two steps forward.
Jiang Chuting sized him up and smiled lightly: "Brother Lu, are you feeling better?"
"Yeah." Lu Zhao fixed his eyes on him when he spoke.
Jiang Chuting happily said, "That's good."
Yuan Sang said: "When you were away, he was practicing walking, and he refused to stop for a while before going to sleep. He just got used to it, and he couldn't wait to come to you." He said quickly: "I said you are really, Our yard is so big, it would be nice for you to come and live together, if you insist on staying in this inn, it will be inconvenient to come here."
Lu Zhao glanced sideways, and Yuan Sang quickly shut up.
Jiang Chuting didn't mind at all, and invited them to sit in.Lu Zhao was originally supported by Yuan Xia. After walking a few steps, his body was unstable and suddenly tilted to the side. Jiang Chuting naturally caught him: "Be careful."
The two eyes met for a moment, then moved away at the same time, and went upstairs together.
And Lin Zhi went downstairs and went upstairs again, just like air, without any sense of existence.
Jiang Chuting and Lu Zhao chatted all morning, and after they had lunch together, they sat down and talked again.
Lin Zhi didn't know that they had only known each other for a few days, so how could they have so much to say.
Xing'er always has the habit of taking a nap, after Lin Zhi put him to sleep, he didn't put him on the bed.Holding the child and walking behind Jiang Chuting silently for two times, Lu Zhao glanced at him indifferently from the corner of his eye.
"Chuting, the child hasn't fallen asleep yet, you can hold him to sleep for a while, I have something to do when I go downstairs later."
Jiang Chuting subconsciously took Xing'er over, looked up at him, and told him as usual: "Don't go far."
"I know, I promise to be obedient." Lin Zhi showed a cute and docile smile, and raised his hand to tidy up the hair hanging on his shoulders for him, showing a natural intimacy, and said: "You guys talk first, I'll go Go and come back."
"..." Jiang Chuting looked at Lin Zhi who was striding out of the room, then turned his head to look at Lu Zhao, whose eyes were unclear, and said, "I made you laugh."
Xing'er called him daddy, and Lin Zhi called daddy. Lu Zhao and the others never asked, but they probably had some speculation about the relationship between him and Lin Zhi.
Lu Zhao said: "No."
Jiang Chuting said: "Where did you just say?"
"Can not remember."
Jiang Chuting could sense the obvious change in his mood, and asked softly, "Brother Lu?"
Lu Zhao took two sips of tea in silence, put down the teacup, stood up and said, "I've been bothering you for a long time today, so I'll take my leave first."
"Are you leaving now?" Jiang Chuting was about to get up to see him off, but Lu Zhao put his hand on his shoulder lightly, his eyes were dim, but his voice was still warm: "Don't see me off, don't wake the child up."
Yuan Xia heard the movement and hurried in to help him.
Jiang Chuting sat on the stool without moving as he said, watched them leave, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, when a sudden intuition struck, and he was immediately surprised and uncertain.
Lu Zhao's behavior just now, could it be towards him... Jiang Chuting closed his eyes, and his breath suddenly became chaotic.
Lin Zhizheng and Zhao Chengyang were talking quietly at the street corner near the inn. Not long after, they saw Lu Zhao and his party leave. Lin Zhi was overjoyed, and started to go back quickly, but was dragged back by Zhao Chengyang.
"I haven't finished talking yet, why are you running?" Zhao Chengyang was sweating anxiously: "Do you think I'm joking? You will never be able to escape if this incident becomes serious. You still have the mood to be here Youzai Youzai swaggering through the market? Crazy!"
Lin knew: "Anyway, wherever Chuting is, I will be there."
"Your mother ran away, why didn't you run away? Even if you didn't run away, you avoided the limelight. It's strange—" Zhao Chengyang couldn't understand it: "Jiang Daxia should know your situation, why didn't he take you to hide Whereabouts, but still ostentatiously staying at the inn, as if waiting for someone to catch you."
Lin Zhi frowned and said: "He's right again, of course he lives in the hotel, I'm the one who pestered him with shamelessness, do you want him to accommodate me?"
Zhao Chengyang was speechless for a while, thought for a while, and said: "This doesn't look like him, anyway, things are weird."
"It's nothing weird, I asked for everything."
"... Lin Zhi is still the same Lin Zhi." Zhao Chengyang was also helpless, and tried to persuade him: "But think about it, is saving your life the most important thing now? If your life is gone, what are you doing with Jiang Daxia? I The trustee arranged a big ship for you, and you temporarily go to sea with them to escape to another country, and you will have a lot of opportunities to meet in the future."
Lin Zhi withdrew his hand, stared at his good friend who was still worrying about him at this moment, suddenly opened his arms to hug him, and then let go after a pause.
"You also know that your life is important. If you still come to me now, be careful not to be implicated."
Zhao Chengyang scolded: "Can you stop talking nonsense?"
Lin Zhi said in a low voice: "You have done enough for me, it is worth it to have you as a friend in this life. Don't worry about the future."
Zhao Chengyang: "I..."
Suddenly there was the sound of neat and fast approaching footsteps, and the two turned their heads at the same time, Zhao Chengyang took a breath, and Lin Zhi pulled him behind him, clenched his teeth, with a solemn expression.
The Habayashi Army headed by Mo Lin has surrounded them, there are at least a hundred of them.Let alone him, even if Chuting is here, it may not be easy to escape.
The people on the street were frightened by such a large battle, and at first glance, they were all officers and soldiers wearing light armor. They didn't push and shoved and didn't dare to scream. There are no people watching the excitement.
The originally noisy street quieted down in just a moment, and the air was full of chills.
Jiang Chuting guards Xing'er, because he has something on his mind, he is slightly lost in thought.After a while, Lin Zhi hadn't come up yet, he straightened up, frowning.
Jiang Chuting called Wei Jia who was reading comic books with relish, and asked him to help watch Xing'er, and he planned to go down to find someone.
Before he walked out the door, he stopped.He found it strange that the inn he lived in was facing the street. Although the room was well chosen and not too noisy, he could faintly hear the hawking and yelling outside on weekdays.
But at this time, it was as dead silent as if in a deserted ghost town.
This is totally abnormal.
Jiang Chuting jumped twice, already having a premonition, turned around and told Wei Jia sternly: "Look at Xing'er, no matter what you hear, don't come out."
Feeling that his tone was serious, Wei Jia nodded again and again, put aside the comic book, and stood by the bed with his arms outstretched in a protective posture.
Only then did Jiang Chuting close the door, and walked downstairs on the steps.
On the first floor of the lobby, the shopkeeper's waiter and other guests disappeared, except for two people standing at one table and sitting at the other.
Standing was Mo Lin in black with a long sword in his hand, and the sitting man was dressed in a jade crown, his eyes were covered by a white silk cloth, and he was proud and cold.
He didn't speak, just sat there, invisibly intimidating and frightening.
Sure enough.
Therefore, he shouldn't have agreed to let Lin Zhi go out just now.Jiang Chuting quickly adjusted his breath and walked towards them.
Pei Jing, who was blindfolded and couldn't see anything, turned her face to his direction without any mistake, her lips were tightly pursed.
Jiang Chuting lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down to salute: "Caomin has seen His Majesty."
As soon as he heard his voice, Pei Jing raised his hand to cover his violently constricted heart, his expression had already started to contort, very gloomy and frightening, he asked: "Leave me, leave the palace, how are you doing?" It felt like bleeding from hatred, as if Jiang Chuting would kill him immediately if he dared to say the word "good".
Jiang Chuting said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, everything is the same as before."
Pei Jing sneered coldly: "No difference? You are the same, but I am different! I urgently need to tear you apart and drink your blood to dispel the hatred in my heart!"
Jiang Chuting remained silent.
Pei Jing stood up abruptly, pushed away Mo Lin who was about to help him, and walked unsteadily in front of Jiang Chuting while holding on to the table, reached out and grabbed his collar impartially, and pulled him up.
The two were so close that they were almost face to face.Although Jiang Chuting was deliberately covered with a cloth, Pei Jing still couldn't restrain the turbulent emotion when he got close to this person and smelled the familiar breath on his body. With a mouthful of blood, her pale lips were stained with wet red.
Mo Lin was shocked: "Your Majesty!"
He wanted to take Pei Jing away, but was pushed away by him again: "Go away!"
Mo Lin retracted his hand with a worried expression on his face.
Jiang Chuting hurriedly helped him back to the chair, trying to stay away from him, but Pei Jing tightly clenched his wrists: "What kind of Bodhisattva do you think I will let you be with other men? Tell you, I can't do it! Just now I have captured him, and I will torture him to death with my own hands, and then cut him into pieces!"
Most of what Pei Jing said to him was harsh words, but not to Lin Zhi, especially at this moment, he would definitely do what he said.The back of Jiang Chuting's neck felt cold, and he said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, just let Lin Zhi go."
"You still dare to plead?!"
Jiang Chuting's eyes turned red and he begged: "He is innocent about the Lin family's drug testing. He really doesn't know anything, and he has never had a life on his hands. Can you just let him go?"
"Impossible." Pei Jing's aura was obviously getting weaker and weaker due to the outbreak of love, but every word he uttered was like that, full of hatred: "I said before, I will find someone who will make you speechless." You can kill him for any reason, and now I tell you again, even if there is no reason, I can kill him! Even if you hate me, what can you do to me?"
"His Majesty!"
"Stop talking, it's impossible to say anything, he must die." Pei Jing's tone was cold, without any leeway.
After speaking, he coughed again, coughing and coughing, and blood came out again.
Jiang Chuting murmured: "Xiao Jiu, don't force me..."
Pei Jing's chin was dripping with blood, and he growled hoarsely: "You forced me! If you don't love me, then hate me, hate me to the bone, and you will never forget me forever!"
Mo Lin couldn't take it anymore: "Your Majesty, you really can't talk to him anymore, hurry up and leave with your subordinates."
Jiang Chuting stood still for a moment, knelt down again with a plop, and took out the cyan ring-shaped jade pendant that he had been carrying with him since he left the palace.
He whispered: "This jade pendant was given by Your Majesty on the day I gave birth to Xing'er. Do you still remember what you swore to me at that time?"
Pei Jing was blindfolded and couldn't see. He stuffed the jade pendant in his hand, and he was furious immediately: "I promised you that I spared your life, it wasn't his! Don't even think about it..."
Jiang Chuting interrupted: "Lin Zhi is my fate."
Pei Jing's body froze violently.
Jiang Chuting knelt with his back straight, looked at him with red eyes and said every word clearly: "I hope His Majesty can keep his promise, don't break his promise, and he must be spared."
