Li Li

Chapter 40 Lighting the Sky Lantern

Xiao Yanjin will not be soft on Zheng Junliang.He waited for Li Li to fall asleep before ordering Jixiang to watch, and then he went to the next door.

Zheng Junliang's mouth was full of blood, he still didn't understand what happened, when he saw Xiao Yanjin, he thought that this person was asking for money, and tricked his father, and now kidnapping himself is nothing more than asking Zheng Tong for money.

In Xiao Yanjin's hand was the document signed by Zheng Tong yesterday, which clearly stated that Gu Huai wanted his Fengshui treasure land and exchanged it with Zhuangzi.Xiao Yanjin added a few strokes to it and handed it to Miao Lin, with a bit of ruthlessness in the calm and breezy:

"Take my sign and go to the state capital. Zheng's mansion doesn't need to exist until tomorrow."

Miao Lin understood Xiao Yanjin's hidden instructions in every sentence. He ignored Zheng Junliang's frightened and angry expression, and asked calmly, without feeling that there was still a person at his feet: "Where is this person?"

"It's too cheap to kill him, and it's an eyesore to keep him." Xiao Yanjin raised the corners of his eyes, his eyes were gloomy and cold.He didn't want Zheng Junliang to die so easily, but he was unwilling to die.

"Light the sky lantern."

Zheng Junliang's pupils shrank fiercely, almost struggling crazily when he finished speaking.

The so-called sky lantern is to cut an opening in a person's belly, which can make the body fat flow out, and then put a wax rope into his stomach through the opening, and then light it on fire.This kind of lynching is often painful but not easy to die.Watching the oil flow out of the body, the skin was burned by the fire, wishing to die immediately but being tortured slowly.

But an inn is no place for lynching.

Xiao Yanjin peeled off the water chestnuts bought by her servants, took out the white meat inside and put it on a side dish: "It's just right, it's in that village, and no one knows."

"As for Zhuangzi..." Xiao Yanjin sneered, "That's really not a treasured land of geomantic omen."

Miao Lin was quick to do things, but Zheng Junliang broke his hands and feet, lit a sky lantern and threw him into the Zhuangzi to fend for himself.Miao Lin ordered an attendant to watch, and report to Zheng Junliang after he died.

Xiao Yanjin pushed the peeled water chestnut away from Li Li's guest room, before he woke up, Jixiang was gently shaking his fan beside the small couch.

Xiao Yanjin went over to take her fan and waved.Jixiang retreated very wisely.

The gilded fairy mountain copper stove on the table was lit with tranquilizing incense, and when the cigarette slowly drifted out, the fairy mountain on top looked like Penglai. This was Li Li's favorite copper stove in the past.

He likes a lot of things. After Li Li came back, Xiao Yanjin moved him one by one, but now he doesn't show as much elegance as he used to, and he no longer sees his eyebrows and eyes crooked when he is happy, and the expression in his eyes Clear as a mirror.

Li Li's eyes were filled with deep gloom, which couldn't go away.

Now he is not sleeping well, curled up in an extremely insecure position.Xiao Yanjin walked over, Li Li was muttering something, as if holding it in his mouth, he couldn't hear clearly.

"Lili, what are you talking about?" Xiao Yanjin patted him on the back lightly, asking to comfort the sleeping man.

Li Li didn't sleep well, and when Xiao Yanjin's voice came, he immediately opened his eyes, unable to distinguish the real from the half-dream and half-awake.

Xiao Yanjin thought he was awake, touched his black hair, a strand of hair curled around his fingertips, wrapped around his fingers like lingering.

"Li Li." Xiao Yanjin entangled with him ear to ear, kissed his eyes, and could hear Li Li's ravings clearly when he got close.

"Yanjin, I'm so scared."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." The softest part of Xiao Yanjin's heart was twisted, and sourness welled up.

After a long time, when Li Jiu was finally willing to tell Xiao Yanjin why he hated him, Xiao Yanjin remembered Li Li's raving in her arms.At that time, he was not completely awake, and the dream was the night when he and Li Jiu were arrested and locked up.

Li Li was actually crying in his arms, her eyes were moist, but no tears came out.

Xiao Yanjin's clothes were tightly held by Li Li, and he coaxed him for a while before realizing that Li Li hadn't woken up, her eyes were red, but she had slept more peacefully.

Xiao Yanjin couldn't bear to touch him anymore, and put her arms around his slender waist.

Lili is too thin, she should get fatter.Xiao Yanjin thought so, and already planned to order Jixiang to cook soup and stew some tonics every day.

At dusk on the western mountain, Li Li woke up when the afterglow fell from the window on the small couch, and the setting sun was slanting to the west outside the window, and the evening glow was red.

Li Li's eyelids were extremely uncomfortable being pierced by the sun, she tilted her head slightly, and bumped into a pair of lingering eyes.Xiao Yanjin was awake.

Li Li hurriedly sat up and leaned back.

Xiao Yanjin was in time and space in her arms, and her whole body was lost, and she sighed insignificantly: "Hair and clothes are all messed up, come here and let me tidy up."

Li Li lowered her eyes and passed obediently.

Xiao Yanjin combed Li Li's black hair with five fingers, her movements were so light that she was afraid of tearing a hair out of him.

Li Li didn't have much in mind, he was still thinking about that person, even though he didn't remember the name of this person, he still remembered the days when maggots devoured his flesh and blood.

Li Li froze, always worried: "Did the prince let that person go?"

"At this time, he should be dead."

Li Li's face turned pale.

Xiao Yanjin knew that he was afraid, so he pulled Li Li's skirts together, and said the words he had thought up a long time ago: "The regent turned up Gu Huai's case, that Zhuangzi was Gu Huai's house, although it fell into Zheng Huai's house, Tong Tong, but he explained in black and white how he colluded with Gu Huai."

Xiao Yanjin saw that he was listening to her words carefully, and felt a little warm in her heart: "Lili, if you get a heavy sentence for collusion, you will be punished and executed. How dare I cover up Zheng Tong. If the state government moves faster, it should be a search at this time." Zheng Mansion." He sighed: "We can't take that Zhuangzi anymore, I thought about it, we don't have to live here if we change places."

He stood up first, and came down with Li Li in his arms: "Hey, we're leaving tomorrow."

Li Li looked at Xiao Yanjin and couldn't help scrutinizing him a little bit more. He couldn't help worrying that Xiao Yanjin was too clear about his dirty past, and it was being laid out in front of the two of them bit by bit.

Li Li has seen and heard too many people laughing and sarcasm, and he can bear it with his head down.Compared with a person's ridicule and ridicule, Xiao Yanjin's contempt is often dismissive, not looking him straight.

Li Li deceived himself and wanted to cover up these things, as if he could stay away from them without thinking about them.

He suddenly found that the palace that he had always wanted to leave made him feel truly safe. Even though there were too many painful memories in it, and there were people who didn't like him to taunt him, it was the only habitat that he could hide his head from.

"Can I go back to the palace?" Li Li begged, and if he went to other places, he was afraid of meeting other people.

"Want to go back?"

Li Li nodded.

Xiao Yanjin ignored him: "Let's pack up and go back tomorrow." As for Rong Sheng, let Wei Fuchi deal with it as soon as possible.

By doing this, he was openly against the Rong family, but Rong Qingyuan's side is also having a hard time, there is one less Wei family, and one Song family is against him, so for the time being, he can't pay too much attention to deal with him. side.

On the second day when Xiao Yanjin asked someone to prepare the boat, Li Li pulled at the corner of his clothes and said to go by land.Xiao Yanjin immediately sent someone to prepare the carriage.

Li Li was thinking that Xiao Yanjin passed out all the way in the boat when she came out, and suffered the pain alive.But Xiao Yanjin was in a good mood until she got into the carriage, the corners of her mouth raised, and she held Li Li's hands in her arms.

Li Li can be regarded as telling him what she doesn't want.He was too obedient and obedient before, without any resistance.Even if Xiao Yanjin was louder, Li Li would bear it even if she turned her face when she was annoyed.

Xiao Yanjin knew that Lili made herself like this not only for fear of him, but also for Li Jiu.

As for Li Jiu, Xiao Yanjin also has her own plans.

Li Li was not used to the intimacy between the two of them, Wei Wei struggled to grab his hand and was held by Xiao Yanjin again.

There are a lot of snacks on the coffee table in the carriage, among which are Li Li's favorite snacks.He brought it over and picked up the peeled water chestnut and handed it to Li Li's mouth: "It will take ten days to travel by water, and a lot of days to travel by land. I'm afraid you will be bored all the way."

Li Li couldn't refuse, so she could only eat it.

Xiao Yanjin smiled and said: "But we are not in a hurry, we will stop in the town when we are tired."

After walking for a few days, it was evening when passing by a desolate Taoist temple, Xiao Yanjin sent Miao Lin to ask for a place to stay, and the Taoist boy agreed to stay in the Taoist temple for one night.

Although the Taoist temple is a bit run-down and depressed, and the incense is not strong, it can vaguely see the solemnity and solemnity of the past.

Dao Tong arranged a place to stay, and several guest rooms were clean and tidy, which shows that even if no one comes, they are often cleaned.

After working hard these days, and it was cloudy and rainy, Li Li fell asleep all the way, and did not wake up in the Taoist temple. It was Xiao Yanjin who carried her into the guest room and put him on the bed.

He ordered Jixiang to borrow the kitchen to cook some light food and send it over, and then went to see Li Li.

Li Li was calling Li Jiu, Xiao Yanjin saw that he was suffering, she grabbed his hand and covered her bosom, wishing to suffer for him.

This trick is just like what Yang Xiangyi said at the beginning, no matter how it is treated, it will not get better.
