The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Jiang Ci said nothing after listening to Huanying's analysis. His eyes were slightly lowered and he quietly observed the chess game in front of him. His deep eyes were quiet and dark under the candlelight beside him.

He flicked his sleeves, and with his sharply articulated fingers, he picked up a white piece from the chessboard and dropped it onto the chessboard.

Huanying looked at Jiang Ci respectfully, knowing that His Highness was thinking about the current situation, so she waited silently.

After a while, Jiang Ci said.

"A small white piece is the key to messing up the whole chess game."

"The sect leader has raised him for ten years. It would be a pity if this chess piece was lost on the road like this. Su Ji is a talented person. Originally, my subordinates thought that the young master wanted to recruit him."

"The Su family has only been loyal to the emperor for generations. Su Ji will not easily surrender to any force until the old emperor dies. This person is much smarter than his ancestors."

Jiang Ci took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment and continued: "Separate a group of people to carefully search for the whereabouts of Su Ji and Jiang Qiuchi at the place where they disappeared. Su Ji did not die so easily. Maybe he saw someone from the capital. He will not let anyone go, he will disguise himself and sneak into the capital secretly, and send extra manpower to watch all the passages to the capital."

"Yes! Do we need to arrange more manpower in the capital? The master has gone to Gucheng now, and his subordinates are worried that there will be chaos in the capital at this time."

"There is nothing wrong with chaos. If Jiang Qiuchi enters the capital alive, the more chaotic the situation, the more helpful it will be for him. It doesn't matter whether the killer who appears this time is the fifth prince or the sixth prince. We must find a way to bring the Zhao family into trouble. , making them suspicious of each other and wary of each other, the tighter they keep an eye on Jiang Qiuchi will become a constraint."

Now he just wants to know what move the old emperor will make after Jiang Qiuchi enters the capital.

Huan Ying smiled: "I understand."

-

Located in the mountains south of Xinyang Prefecture and bordering Yingzhou Prefecture, Su Ji and Jiang Qiuchi were hunted down and hid in this hidden cave.

Jiang Qiuchi looked at the unconscious man lying next to the fire. He had multiple stab wounds on his chest, arms and back. The wounds were still bleeding, and his body had begun to heat up.

If it weren't for Su Ji's good health, I'm afraid this life would have been sealed long ago.

Jiang Qiuchi was well protected by Su Ji. In addition to his small arm injury, the two of them rolled down the hillside and sprained their feet while running for their lives.

He stared at Su Ji quietly for a while, not knowing what he was thinking in his clear eyes. He lowered his head and glanced at the white coat he was wearing, and took it off neatly.

The material of the coat was so delicate and soft that it could be torn apart with just a single tear. He sat in front of the fire and used the firelight to tear the coat made of the finest material into strips of cloth.

Then he took out another bottle of golden sore medicine from his sleeve robe, stood up and walked towards Su Ji.

If Su Ji could survive this time, he should be grateful to him for cherishing his life. He was used to carrying a few life-saving medicines with him. Otherwise, in this deep mountain and old forest, it would be difficult for Su Ji to survive no matter how strong he was.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiuchi felt a little proud.

He reached out and touched Su Ji's waistband, and was about to untie it when a strong hand suddenly grabbed his wrist, which was so strong that Jiang Qiu frowned in pain.

"Master Su, are you awake?"

Su Ji was in a state of confusion. He didn't know where he was. He only felt pain like tearing all over his body. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the young man in front of him fiercely.

"What do you want to do?"

Even though he had a high fever, he was still alert to everything around him like a keen cheetah. This was the vigilance he had trained in the camp for a long time.

"Mr. Su, I just want to help you apply medicine and bandage your wound. You are running a high fever. If you don't treat the wound in time, your life will be in danger. I carry golden sore medicine with me and I also know some medical knowledge."

Su Ji stared at Jiang Qiuchi with evil eyes for a while. When he saw that Jiang Qiuchi's eyes were watery and there was no hint of lying, he lowered his guard.

"Feel sorry."

Jiang Qiuchi forced a smile and looked at Su Ji's wrist that was holding her tightly.

Su Ji looked at Jiang Qiuchi's eyes, and then let go in embarrassment.

Her fair wrists were already red and swollen from being grasped too hard.

Jiang Qiuchi only rubbed it gently a few times: "Sir, could you take off your clothes by yourself? The wound on your back is still bleeding and needs to be treated as soon as possible."

Su Jiqiang used his willpower to sit up, glanced down at himself, and then pulled open his belt, revealing that the white tunic underneath had been stained with large red bloodstains, and several deep wounds were shocking.

Jiang Qiuchi calmed down and carefully took off Su Ji's middle coat, revealing his muscular upper body.

The cave is not large, and the bonfire is very bright, so the whole cave is warm.

Jiang Qiuchi found a flat stone with grooves from somewhere. He put the stone on the fire and burned some melted snow water. He then put the snow water into the water bag he carried with him. Now the water was warm. .

He wet the handkerchief with the water in the water bag, and then carefully treated the blood on Su Ji's body.

"The wound is too deep. It may hurt a little when you apply the medicine. Please bear with it."

Su Ji silently stared at Jiang Qiuchi and nodded in response.

After staying in the Suwei camp for ten years, his body was already covered with scars, large and small. Su Ji believed that every scar was his contribution.

Jiang Qiuchi applied the golden sore medicine evenly on the wound. Su Ji was mentally prepared, but the tearing pain still made him sweat profusely.

About half a quarter of an hour later, all the wounds were covered with medicated powder, and Jiang Qiuchi bandaged the wounds with strips of cloth torn from his own coat.

Su Ji silently glanced at Jiang Qiuchi, then lowered his head and glanced at the criss-crossed bandages on his body.

He actually tore off his shirt?

"Why don't you escape? You should know that going to the capital is a narrow escape."

After Jiang Qiuchi helped Su Ji put on his clothes, he walked back to the fire next to him and sat down in front of it.

"If I escape, I will betray His Highness. I don't want to be a treacherous person."

Su Ji scoffed a little after hearing this. Loyalty is of course important. Several generations of loyal ministers of the Su family, including him, Su Ji, are also loyal to the emperor today.

But between his own life and loyalty, he would choose the former.

Jiang Ci sent him to the capital to be a scapegoat. He knew Jiang Ci's intentions and yet he still couldn't think of a way to escape, idiot!

"Is it worth it? If I die here today, you can find a good place to hide your name anonymously, and His Highness the Seventh Prince will mistakenly think that you died in this assassination, so you are not considered treacherous."

Jiang Qiuchi looked at Su Ji and smiled warmly.

"I was an abandoned baby since I was born, and was later adopted by a few beggars until I was six years old. Those beggars offended the second son of the Xuzhou governor for unknown reasons, and were beaten to death by the Xu family's slaves. From then on, I became an unwanted beggar. Later, I was taken in by people from the Xuanzong Sect because of my face that was somewhat similar to His Highness. From then on, I became His Highness’s shadow. If it weren’t for His Highness, I would have been there long ago. I starved to death when I was six years old. How can I have these ten good years? I must be treated as a ring of valerian when receiving kindness from others. Now the only thing I have any use for is this life."

Su Ji took a deep breath. He didn't know whether it was a wound or a fever. In short, he felt uncomfortable everywhere.

"Maybe stupid people are lucky."

Jiang Qiuchi chuckled and said, "I would like to borrow your kind words."

Su Ji opened his eyes and glanced at Jiang Qiuchi, snorting softly.

What a fool.
