Chapter 22 Morning Light

Haigouhun's snake gallbladder is indeed a good healing product.

Liuxi finally survived the most dangerous seven days, and Aunt Hong and Jing Huan were the two happiest.During the period, Jing Tan and Jing Yuan also came to visit several times, but Jing Xiaowu was so busy that he couldn't even see anyone.

Practicing kung fu, patrolling the city and resetting organs, reading books at the [Organ Tomb], building weapons on the casting platform, and listening to Uncle Jing Jiu report the news of the spies.

She is doing what the head of the family should do most, wishing that one day can be used for three days.

Martial arts cannot be mastered in a day, and organ skills cannot be comprehended in a day.

Jing Lan could only force herself to work harder, at least the news from the outside world was becoming more and more unfavorable to Jing's.

Even though Grandpa had informed the imperial court, the imperial court still had few troops, and even the emperor listened to the suggestion of the son-in-law, moved the entire line of defense in Dongfuzhou back a hundred miles, and deliberately gave way to Liu Su's army Pointing directly at Haicheng.

Since it can't be stopped, it's better to watch from the sidelines, maybe while Liu Su and Dong Hai are fighting in full swing, they can still benefit from it.

The Xishan Liu family has the art of casting soldiers. Miss Liu San has completely controlled the soldiers and horses of the three states left by Wei Jianbai. She came so aggressively, almost the same as in her previous life.

The catastrophe of the Donghai family in her previous life was earlier than she expected.

In this life, instead of Wei Jianbai and Liu Xi, it was Xishan Liushi and Liu Su. Even if they could deal with it in advance, Jing Lan felt a little at a loss.

There is a huge disparity in power, and the odds of winning in a desperate fight are too small.

If he fled ahead of time, the sea city that the Dongjing family built carefully for hundreds of years could only be burned down, and the word "wool" would only be left on the rivers and lakes.

How will Jing's children walk on the rivers and lakes in the future?

Life is important, and so is name.

The wound was growing new flesh, it was painful and itchy.

Liu Xi has been sleeping very restlessly these past few days, partly because of the wound, and partly because she faintly felt that something was wrong?Wei Jianbai's death was too easy, every time Liu Xi recalled that knife, he always felt that things should not be that simple.

This day, Liu Xi was sitting on the edge of the bed and taking a nap thinking, Aunt Hong came in with clear porridge.

"Xi'er's complexion is better today." Aunt Hong sat by the bed with the porridge, looked carefully at Liu Xi's face, smiled and scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and fed it to her, "Come on, eat first .”

Liu Xi gently shook her head, "Aunt Hong, I have something to ask you."

Aunt Hong nodded, put the clear porridge aside, held Liu Xi's hand to warm her up, "Say it."

"These few days...why haven't you seen Ah Lan?" Liu Xi felt that Jing Lan was the most abnormal in the entire Jing family.

Aunt Hong seemed to know that Liu Xi would ask this question, she apologized: "Don't blame Xiao Wu, he is not a ruthless person, there are a lot of things in Haicheng recently, he is the new head of the family, and many things need to be done by himself .”

"A lot of things?" Liu Xi stared at the words.

Aunt Hong said truthfully: "For example, changing the layout of the mechanism..."

"Useless." Liu Xi frowned.

Aunt Hong looked at her in astonishment, "How do you say that?"

The inner ghost has not been eliminated, so what if the position of the agency is changed?Although Wei Jianbai is dead, there will definitely be a new general in his jurisdiction. As long as the inner ghost connects with that person, he can also send out the layout of Haicheng.

Liu Xi coughed twice, the knife hurt her lungs, she knew that she needed to rest for at least three months, but according to the current situation in Haicheng, she couldn't rest in bed and ignore it.

"I want... to meet Ah Lan." Liu Xi looked at her firmly, not planning to talk about the inner ghost at this time.

Aunt Hong nodded, "I'll call him right now."

"No, what I said was, I'll go see her." Liu Xi clutched her wound, reluctantly wanting to get off the bed.

Aunt Hong hurriedly went to hold her down, "Xi'er, you are still injured, don't act like this!"

"I went to see her, and she came to see me are two different things." Liu Xi knew the difference, the subtlety was how much Jing Lan could trust her.

"You kid..."

"Aunt Hong."

Aunt Hong sighed, "Young people just don't know how to take care of their bodies, and when they get sick they grow old and suffer."

"Thank you, Aunt Hong." Hearing these words, Liu Xi knew that Aunt Hong had agreed.

It was still early in the day, and at this time of day, Jing Lan must be practicing swords in her small courtyard.

Aunt Hong sent someone to push the wooden cart, helped Liu Xi onto the wooden cart, and slowly pushed Liu Xi to the outside of Jing Lan's small courtyard.

The shadow of the sword is like lightning, and Jing Lan's swordsmanship has indeed improved in the past few days.

The morning sun fell from the gap between the trees and shone on her white clothes. Every time the sword stabbed, the light and shadow of the sword's edge flashed, like a bolt of lightning hidden in the white clouds.

Before entering the courtyard, Liu Xi tugged Aunt Hong's sleeve, signaling her to stop first.

Aunt Hong lowered her head and said softly: "It's drying here, let's go in first."

"Aunt Hong, help me..." Liu Xi's voice was very weak, "Sneak attack on Alan." She knew that Aunt Hong would be puzzled, so she explained, "I want to see how much she listens to my words? "

These two little kids are just awkward.

If she can help Ah Lan get rid of her knots and obediently call Xi'er a sister-in-law, Aunt Hong is willing to help.

"it is good."

Aunt Hong tapped her toes and quickly swept into the small courtyard.

Jing Lan was startled to hear the sound of her clothes behind her, she was much more alert this time than last time.Immediately, she turned around and slashed out with a sword, forcing Aunt Hong to turn back in the air and dodge the sword.

"Aunt Hong?!"

"Alan is not bad, these few days..."

"what!"

Before Aunt Hong could finish her sentence, Jing Lan was hit by a stone on her shoulder.

Liu Xi's cold voice sounded outside the courtyard, she leaned weakly on the wooden wheeled cart, looking at this side in disappointment, "It's not bad, just take it lightly, if the one who threw you wasn't for the stone, your life would have died long ago. "

Don't grow up!

Jing Lan's face darkened, "Why don't you take a good rest and come here to mess around?"

"If I don't come again, you won't know how you died!" Liu Xi was obviously angry too, dragged the wound, couldn't help covering her chest, and let out a violent cough.

"The two of you are a family, talk to me in a friendly manner!" Aunt Hong glared, and hurriedly stepped forward to push Liu Xi into the small courtyard.

Aunt Hong was also annoyed, Jing Lan didn't dare to refute, she just turned her head away, and said in her heart: "If you look better, come out and point fingers, Liu Xi, you are really troublesome!"

"Look at me." Liu Xi slowed down, raised her head and looked at her for a moment, "What's the matter? Patriarch of the Dongjing Sect, are you still afraid of me being a wounded woman?"

Jing Lan met her eyebrows calmly, "Who is afraid of you?!" Looking at this, Jing Lan felt that she seemed to be tricked, who wants to look at her?Who wants to talk to her?

But now that riding a tiger is hard to get off, if she tries to avoid it, it will appear that she has a guilty conscience.

"What have I taught you?" Liu Xi asked again.

Jing Lan muttered vaguely, "Don't relax your vigilance at any time..." He regretted it after saying the words, why should he be so obedient and answer every question?

Liu Xi's sullen expression still persisted, "But you don't care about a single word!"

Who would take her words to heart?

When Aunt Hong saw Jing Lan wanting to roll her eyes, she twisted Jing Lan's waist first, and reminded in a solemn voice: "It's not big or small, you should call her sister-in-law!"

Jing Lan twitched her lips, but she couldn't cry out.

"Huh?" Aunt Hong got into a fight with her today, after so many days, she had to smooth Jing Lan's hair no matter what.

Liu Xi was not in a hurry to settle these matters with her, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Aunt Hong, "I have a few words that I want to say to Ah Lan alone."

"I don't want to hear it." Jing Lan vetoed it first.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Hong twisted her hand even harder, causing her to gasp for several breaths in pain, "Don't always be a child, listen obediently, and tell me what feels uncomfortable. The whole family always has knots. It's not a good thing!" After finishing speaking, Aunt Hong glared at her again, then nodded at Liu Xi, "In three quarters, I'll pick you up and go back to rest."

"En." Liu Xi nodded.

"Aunt Hong..." Jing Lan didn't want to talk to her alone.

"Speak well!" Aunt Hong's eyes were like a knife, and she gave her a mark.

Jing Lan had no choice but to watch Aunt Hong leave the courtyard.

"I'm sorry." Liu Xi said suddenly.

Jing Lan was startled, thinking that she had heard wrong.

Liu Xi didn't explain why she was sorry, because she did make too many mistakes in her previous life.Although Jing Duo's death had nothing to do with her in this life, if she hadn't provoked Jing Duo, even if Jing Duo would die in the future, it would have nothing to do with her at all.

Jing Lan secretly clenched the hilt of her sword, and said in a deep voice, "What's the use of saying this?" In the previous life, everyone in Haicheng died so badly, so it would be a bit hypocritical to say these things in this life.

"I can't pay back your brother, but I can help you protect the rest of the people." Liu Xi stretched out his hand with difficulty, grabbed Jing Lan's clothes tightly, and reminded seriously, "You change the position of the agency. Useless."

Jing Lan said with a strong nasal voice: "I don't need you!"

"If you don't get rid of the inner ghost for a day, you will die if you do anything!" Liu Xi yelled sharply, "You never know who in this city will suddenly stab you!" Speaking of excitement, Liu Xi grabbed Jing Lan's clothes, Pulling her closer to him.

Pain rose from the wound, Liu Xi endured the pain, her eyes were already red, she could only hear her hiss: "Who can you save then?"

Jing Lan looked into Liu Xi's eyes in shock, and after a moment of silence, she finally asked in a hoarse voice: "Where did you get the layout of Haicheng's organs?"

Liu Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, why did Jing Lan doubt this?

Seeing that she didn't answer immediately, Jing Lan said coldly, "Do you know who Wei Jianbai married as his wife?"

When Liu Xi recovered from her injury, she set off for Donghai. At that time, she only wanted to join the Donghai Clan, and she didn't care who Wei Jianbai married.

"Who?" Liu Xi asked hoarsely.

"Miss Liu San, Liu Su." Jing Lan stared into Liu Xi's eyes, she was clearly surprised.

Jing Lan continued: "Wei Jianbai died in Youyou Tower, and this account was settled on our Jing family. The biggest beneficiary is you, the fake third sister. She controlled the original three under Wei Jianbai's jurisdiction. State soldiers and horses, under the guise of avenging their husbands, came here to kill..."

It was her!

Liu Xi was obviously shocked.When Wei Jianbai died, Liu Xi originally thought that the Dongjing family was also one of the beneficiaries, but he didn't expect to make a wedding dress for the Xishan Liu family, giving them the strength to compete in the world.

"I also know why you were expelled from the Liu family." Jing Lan's tone was softer than before, "If the drawing was drawn by Wei Jianbai's inner ghost, the only person who can see it with his own eyes is Miss Liu San...and you …Miss Liu San was kicked out of the Liu family before she married into the General’s Mansion, how did you get close to Wei Jianbai? How did you get the blueprints?”

"..." Liu Xi remained silent because she didn't know how to answer her.

Jing Lan knew that Liu Xi would react like this, at least one thing was certain.Liu Xi didn't know that Liu Su had married into the General's Mansion, this alone was enough to prove that Liu Xi was indeed not a member of the Xishan Liu family.

"Liu Xi, you obviously had so many opportunities to watch me die, why did you save me?" This time it was Jing Lan who took the initiative to approach her, she wanted to see the subtle changes on Liu Xi's face more clearly.

Liu Xi didn't answer her directly, but just looked at her frankly, "Since you don't believe me so much, you could have let me die in that cave, why did you save me?"

This time it was Jing Lan who didn't know how to answer.

The wound on the heart had obviously scabbed over, but now it started to hurt inexplicably again.

When Liu Xi held the blueprints in the mourning hall to frighten everyone, it was just a stopgap measure, and she didn't have time to think about it.After all, Jing Duo is the head of the family, and the woman he is determined to marry, naturally the entire Dongjing family will believe that she is not a bad person.

She didn't expect Jing Lan to check her affairs in Xishan these few days.

Liu Qing, head of the Liu family, has the most reputation, and he will definitely not let this scandal be publicized.Except for the three children of the Liu family, whether he was talking internally or externally, what he said was that Liu Xi intended to assassinate his father, but he caught him and accepted the family law. Xishan, let it fend for itself.

Liu Xi had expected this result, and it was indeed handled in this way in the end.

Jing's found out the truth of the matter, which shows that Jing's spies are also capable.

That being the case...

Liu Xi thought of a reasonable explanation. At this time, she must let Jing Lan dispel her doubts.

"I never said that the blueprint was obtained from Wei Jianbai." Liu Xi started to fight back, and she said calmly, "At first I also wondered why Wei Jianbai knew where the gap in the mechanism was? He married Liu Su, of course I can get the organ layout."

Jing Lan really never thought about it in this direction.

If the layout plan of the agency was in the Xishan Liu family early in the morning, then Liu Xi, who was the first daughter, would have seen it.Liu Su later became the general's wife, and it was reasonable for the Xishan Liu family to present the organization layout plan to Wei Jianbai.

even!

Xishan Liu's family and Dongjing's family have been as famous for many years, and their ancestors must have known each other back then.

It should be well known what housekeeping treasures each family has.

There is a layout plan, and he deliberately revealed the news of the treasure to Wei Jianbai. Wei Jianbai thinks that he can kill two birds with one stone and earn more than lose, so he will definitely come to Haicheng to gamble in person.

After all, if he got the treasure with his own hands, the treasure belongs to him alone.

Jing Lan opened her mouth, as if she wanted to ask something else.

Liu Xi seemed to have guessed it, and she simply said directly: "If it is really my ghost, I will not draw any layout plan, and secretly inject chronic, poison, and medicine into the well water of Haicheng. Isn't it once and for all?"

Jing Lan was told what was on her mind, and coughed lightly twice.

Liu Xi also coughed twice, she was really in pain.

"I'll take care of these things..." Jing Lan said hesitantly, she didn't care about her, she just didn't want to compete with another injured person.

"What do you know? I can't remember what I taught you, how can I rest assured?" Liu Xi knew that she was alone and alone, and she had to intervene in this matter.

The topic went around in a circle, and it returned to the original sentence.

"Aunt Hong is my family..." Jing Lan was only halfway through when she saw Liu Xi laughing at herself.

Liu Xi really envied Jing Lan, even everyone in the Jing family.

It was as warm as fire, which made her feel sad.

Jing Lan looked at her quietly, and saw the morning light falling from the gap between the trees, shining on her slightly pale face—she smiled hastily, her lonely expression seemed to be covered with frost for thousands of years, even The summer morning light couldn't warm her up.

Liu Xi finally let go of Jing Lan's clothes and put her hands on her lap.

"Alan."

"What?"

"If you can pass this level, can you really call me sister-in-law?"

"..."

Jing Lan didn't answer immediately.

Liu Xi raised her face against the morning light, "I take it as your acquiescence." She had a half-smile, and the sincerity that Jing Lan had never seen surged in her eyes.

"Why are you like this woman?"

"Huh?" Aunt Hong, who came to pick up Liuxi from the courtyard, snorted heavily and interrupted Jing Lan, "It's still the same!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Xi turned her face to Aunt Hong and smiled slightly, "It's okay."

How could a good person be taken by her!

Jing Lan could only hold back her words, and smiled stiffly at Liu Xi.

Who would have thought that at this time Liu Xi would take advantage of the situation and say, "Good boy."
