Traitor, he is bent on death

Almost at the moment when Jian Yuanjia asked this question, the quiet needle drop could be heard in the room.

The bitterness that had just been suppressed by the preserved peaches came back up again, rushing up from the stomach to the lips, it was a mouthful of rusty blood, the cold scent of crabapple flowers in the room seemed to be a bit stronger, Jiang Jintang took the mouthful The blood was swallowed abruptly.

Jian Yuanjia said: "I'm sure, you know what's wrong with your body, but I don't know, why don't you want to tell me."

Jiang Jintang chuckled and said, "Sometimes it's a cowardly self-protection to hide."

If Shanyue sat here and asked such a question, seeing Jiang Jintang's pale face, she would immediately soften her heart and stop asking. This person is like this, and Jian Yuanjia knows it very well.

He knows what kind of good looks he has, and he is very good at using this appearance to benefit himself. He even knows how much he will soften the other party's heart.

Jian Yuanjia prides himself on being able to see through people's hearts, and he also thinks that he sees Jiang Jintang clearly, but Jiang Jintang has such an ability, people know that they are being calculated, but they are still happy.

"..." Jian Yuanjia lowered his eyes and said with a smile, "This trick is useless to me."

Jiang Jintang sighed, the smile on his face disappeared little by little, and said: "This question...maybe after I die, you will know."

Jian Yuanjia was startled: "What?"

Jiang Jintang leaned on the soft pillow, his face was a little fuzzy: "Jiashi...I sometimes want to save face."

"I didn't lie to you, this is my cowardly self-protection, just treat it for my own good, don't ask any more."

After a long silence, Jian Yuanjia finally said, "It's related to what happened back then, right?"

Jiang Jintang didn't answer, so Jian Yuanjia knew he was right.

"When Auntie was pregnant with me." Jiang Jintang pursed the corners of his lips, and then opened the wounds that had begun to scab, revealing the bloody soft flesh inside, "At that time, there were already many voices of criticism in the court. , my father has been stationed at the border all the year round, holding a heavy army in his hand, so the imperial court will naturally not feel at ease, because they have been detaining A Niang in the capital for many years in the name of recuperating, but in fact it is just a disguised house arrest, they want to use A Niang as a constraint on their father weakness."

"The news that Duke Dingguo had a rebellious heart spread in Beijing. A Niang was very worried. She sent many letters to her father but did not reply. She was so pregnant that she had to rely on valuable medicine every day to hang herself. Life."

"The doctor said that if Auntie insisted on giving birth to me, she would probably end up with two dead bodies. If she didn't just have an abortion, she wouldn't lose too much. But Auntie didn't want to, so she insisted on giving birth to me."

Cui Danyan is actually a very typical Jiangnan girl, with soft eyebrows, slender figure, and gentle personality. No one knows how she has such courage in such a weak body. When everyone persuades her to give up her youngest son At that time, she still had to risk her life to give birth to this child.

"Women are inherently weak, but mothers are strong." Jiang Jintang said softly, "That's about it."

Jian Yuanjia felt that the tip of his tongue was a little sore. He was about to interrupt Jiang Jintang to tell him not to say any more, but Jiang Jintang had already continued: "It was a rainy night when I was born."

It was the end of May, and the night rain came too fast, and panicked people came and went in and out of the delivery room. Before the news came out, there was already a crowd of crying outside.

Everyone in Dingguo's mansion is well aware that there may be more bad luck than good luck.

Cui Danyan lay on the bed in a trance, and felt that she seemed to see the crabapple tree in the yard outside the window.

The flowering period of the crabapple was over, and the flowers that were still in bloom were already in full bloom, and were scattered by the rain. She didn't know where the strength came from, and said to her dowry maid: "If... this child... can be born safely. .”

There were tears in the corners of her eyes, and her voice was choked up: "Just call it... Jintang."

Begonia is not raining, pear blossoms snow first, half of the spring break.

Now it's hard to revisit the past, and return to the dream around Qinlou.Acacia is only on the branches of cloves and the tips of cardamom. ①

She was afraid that she would not be able to wait for her husband, so she looked at the tree crabapple with tears of lovesickness in her eyes.

But fortunately, that night, Jiang Fan rushed into the delivery room from the rain, held her cold hand, and brought her back to this world.

"Father returned to Beijing without an edict, and was severely criticized by the officials. When he returned to Beijing, he did not see the emperor, and was scolded for not having a father. Rumors of rebellion were rampant, but father stayed with mother in the mansion all the time."

"It wasn't until his mother finally recovered that he took off his crown and armor, and entered the palace to plead guilty."

When Jiang Jintang said this, there was a sneering smile on his lips: "Naturally, the late emperor was always kind and didn't care about this matter. Instead, he allowed his father to stay in Beijing for two months to take care of his wife and children."

"This seems to be a supreme favor, but at this moment, it has already laid the groundwork for future family raids and family extermination."

"I took my life back from Lord Yan." Jiang Jintang smiled, a little calmly, "A fortune teller asserted that I was the fate of the lone star of Tiansha, and I could not survive my parents and brothers."

Jian Yuanjia was startled: "What?"

"Father doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas. He kicked out the fortune-teller and didn't allow anyone to mention it. He visited famous doctors and finally let me survive. Didn't know I was alive."

"That fortune teller, now it seems that he is not a charlatan." Jiang Jintang lowered his eyelashes, his expression was very calm: "Jiang Jintang did not survive, and he killed his parents and siblings."

Jian Yuanjia was silent for a long time, and then said: "You don't speak strangely, you don't believe in this all the time?"

"Sometimes, you still have to believe." Jiang Jintang said: "Look, it has already been fulfilled."

He raised the corners of his lips and said: "That's why I asked for three branches at the Huguo Temple to make a lottery. I have always cared about it, maybe..."

"Enough." Jian Yuanjia said: "I won't ask you, so don't talk about it."

Jiang Jintang raised his eyes, those eyes looked particularly innocent and clean, with a little tenderness and helplessness: "You are the one who wants to listen, and you are the one who doesn't listen."

Jian Yuanjia said: "Jiang Jintang, don't think that I don't know what crooked ideas you are planning. After talking so much, don't you just don't want to talk about what is going on with your illness? I admit defeat and stop asking."

Jiang Jintang smiled: "Where did the disease start and what is the cause? Didn't I explain everything to you?"

"As long as you can use your calculations on the little emperor, you won't let him spoil your good deeds everywhere." Jian Yuanjia laughed angrily: "Your goal has been achieved, why bother to tear your own wounds?" Show me how tragic it is, I have known you for many years, and I know your pain best."

Jiang Jintang said: "If you don't show it to you, how would you know how tragic it is?"

He coughed twice, with a muffled voice: "Nowadays when the world talks about the Jiang family, who still remembers that blood is like water, bones are like mountains, and the screams and wailing spread throughout the capital, making people sleepless at night."

"That's how people are." Jiang Jintang said softly, "I'm too used to forgetting."

Jian Yuanjia didn't speak for a long time, he stared at Jiang Jintang, Jiang Jintang slowly drank the hot water in his hand, his face was pale, but his expression was calm.

"Actually, I was wrong." Jian Yuanjia suddenly said: "A person like you never wants people to see the real you. I thought I knew eight points of you, but in fact there are two points because you deliberately let me see you." illusion."

"If people know too much about another person, they will start to get bored." Jiang Jintang said in a low voice, "Jianqing, don't you understand this very well?"

How many couples are full of love when they first get married, but they hate each other as time goes by. The world is like this, and it is hard to beat the flood.

Jian Yuanjia didn't speak again, turned around and left the room.

Jiang Jintang quietly looked at the steaming water in the bowl, and after a long time, he finally laughed at himself: "...I'm already getting tired of myself."

"so tired."

……

Tiao Sheng sat by the window, watching the fine rain outside.

Recently, Yangzhou has always had such soft and crisp rain, which is continuous and endless, which makes people feel infinitely melancholy.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the wind from outside came in, so Diao Sheng knew that the person she was waiting for had arrived.

She turned her head, and saw the sky-blue clothes corner, the man's long body stood tall, like a bright moon and a clear breeze, and a jade pot in an ice ravine.

Diao Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then looked at his face.

But it was just an ordinary face with no memories.

"Miss Tiaosheng." Jiang Jintang smiled slightly: "I've admired your name for a long time, but I'm so stingy. I'm Shu Jin, so be polite."

Tiao Sheng hurriedly returned the salute, saying: "Master, you are too polite... If you hadn't saved me out of righteousness, Tiao Sheng still doesn't know what will happen now."

Jiang Jintang naturally sat down on the arhat chair, and said: "Miss Diaosheng is too serious. The girl is willing to assassinate corrupt officials for the people in the south of the Yangtze River. We are just doing trivial things and dare not be greedy for credit." He looked up at Diaosheng: " Please sit down, girl."

Tiaosheng realized that Jiang Jintang had already taken the dominant position invisibly. She sat down opposite Jiang Jintang and said, "I heard from your son's elder brother that you intend to join the Qingtian Sect?"

Jiang Jintang sighed and said, "That's what I meant. I was originally a low-ranking scholar, and I have seen a lot of nasty things about officials and officials protecting each other in Beijing. I never thought that Yangzhou was even worse. The corpses of the officials above are nothing more than vegetarian meals. It is really annoying to search for people's fat and people's anointing every day. I only hate that my generation of scholars can't carry a knife and gun and can't serve the country."

Tiao Sheng said: "Nowadays, Qingtian Sect has very strict requirements for admission, and I can't just say a word or two to get in... But I have already contacted the principal, and I know that my son, you are very righteous and kind." For me, he made a request, as long as the young master can do it, I can take you to see the person in charge."

"Please tell me the girl."

Tiao Sheng said in a low voice: "The principal wants to kill someone."

Jiang Jintang guessed something, sure enough, Tiao Sheng went on to say: "He wants the head of Yin Cai."

The author has something to say:

The second watch is at night.
