It was already late at night when Jiang Yingnian and Guan Jiyu returned to the main city of Yanjiang Corridor.
Han Xu was still awake and kept guarding the gate. When they came back, he said with relief: "You are finally back."
Jiang Yingnian took off his clothes and while removing the braids and decorations on his head, he asked, "Why are you nervous?"
Han Xu took the clothes in his hand and said, "Sir, you should have let me go with you."
Jiang Yingnian said indifferently: "Actually, it's the same for any of you accompanying me. A-Yu is unwell, so I should ask you to come with me. But this time, the one I'm following is none other than Du Yuanqiao.
." He looked at Guan Jiyu and said, "If Ayu is not allowed to personally participate in the matter of revenge, how can she let go of it?"
Han Xu nodded, expressing his understanding, and then asked, "Have you caught up with Du Yuanqiao?" Seeing some dried blood on Guan Jiyu's body, Han Xu said, "Is this... a success?"
The three of them entered the house together. Guan Jiyu sat casually on a stool nearby and said a little depressed: "Du Yuanqiao is too thoughtful. We obviously didn't expose our whereabouts. We couldn't be more careful about everything, but we still resisted."
I couldn't control his vigilance, so he gave me a false shot."
"In my opinion, he's not so vigilant just because he discovered us, right?" Jiang Yingnian snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "A person like him does one thing openly and another behind the scenes. He
After wearing the mask for a long time, I'm afraid he doesn't even know which one is the real him, right? But speaking of it, the eldest brother regards him as a good friend and treats him with all his heart and soul. He can also be thoughtful enough to make plans to kill his eldest brother.
This is enough to prove that Du Yuanqiao's heart is beyond what ordinary people can imagine."
Jiang Yingnian sat down on the chair, grabbed the tea cup and swallowed a few sips of tea, and said: "I have done too many bad things. If I don't pay attention to it all the time, I might die in my sleep one day."
Guan Jiyu pondered for a moment and said: "It is not easy to assassinate him. Now that we have been discovered by him this time, if we want to get close to him again, it will be even harder..."
Jiang Yingnian narrowed his eyes, with a look of cruelty in his eyes, and said: "If he has the guts, he will stay in Hechiliu Kingdom forever and never come back. As long as he dares to come back, I will kill him."
Even if his mansion is broken, we must find him out!"
In the following days from that night, Jiang Yingnian continued to strengthen the defenses near the Yanjiang Corridor, and sent a team to watch day and night, specifically to monitor whether Duyuan Bridge would pass through the Yanjiang Corridor area.
But Du Yuanqiao seemed to be really staying in Hechiliu Kingdom and not planning to come back, and there was no trace of him again.
Guan Jiyu couldn't be of much help. Every move she had memorized by heart in the past was like imagining unfamiliar runes every time she thought about it after losing all her martial arts skills.
Her hands could no longer pick up any weapons. Even if she could pick them up, they would be like a weak scholar picking up a sickle. Her hands were trembling and weak, and she was completely unable to cut a few handfuls of wheat.
But Guan Jiyu would always think of the agreement he made with Jin Chan when he was feeling flustered and upset.
As long as Jin Chan and Xiang Lincheng get married smoothly, and as long as she doesn't show up before then, Jin Chan will hand over the last chapter of "The Art of Cutting the Wind".
Seeing that the day was getting closer, Guan Jiyu was hesitating about how to leave the Yanjiang Corridor with Jiang Yingnian, when a letter came from the Eastern Camp.
It was written by Xiang Ju'an. In the letter, Xiang Ju'an explained that due to family matters, he had to leave the eastern camp for a few days and go to his home in Beizhong.
Xiang Ju'an didn't mention the dispatch. He thought he would be relieved when He Lanlan, Zhe Shu and others were guarding the eastern camp.
From the few words in the letter, Guan Jiyu learned that Xiang Lincheng's marriage must have been held in Beizhong.
Since Xiang Ju'an didn't say anything about the brother's marriage, Guan Jiyu couldn't talk about it openly. She only said to Jiang Yingnian: "Since the general is coming to Beizhong, it's good for me to go see him."
While drawing the map, Jiang Yingnian responded: "Well, it's time for you to meet the general. After you left the military camp, he still thought of you from time to time. I wasn't with him in the north, and he still thought of you from time to time.
Write to ask for news about you. He is a person
Even though he may seem powerful and unkind, in fact he values friendship more than anyone else, not to mention that you are the only daughter of our military camp, so you can make him feel more at ease by meeting him."
Guan Jiyu followed the current and responded: "Okay, I will go there when the general comes."
The dates mentioned by Xiang Ju'an in the letter were the eighth day and the ninth day of the lunar month. From this, Guan Jiyu concluded that Xiang Lincheng should get married on the ninth day of the lunar month. Xiang Ju'an is Xiang Lincheng's biological brother, and they are both parents.
Xiang Ju'an is also a brother and father, so he will definitely go back before his brother's wedding day, and he will have to make arrangements and make arrangements.
After some thought, Guan Jiyu decided to go to General Xiang's Mansion on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
On the first night of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Guan Jiyu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. It wasn't just her who couldn't sleep, there was probably someone else who couldn't sleep either.
Guan Jiyu tossed and turned, lying on his side feeling uncomfortable, so he simply put on some thick clothes and got out of bed, walked out of the room and prepared to walk on the main city campus.
After leaving the house and walking to the school grounds, he happened to bump into Jiang Yingnian. Jiang Yingnian might have gone to check it out in person before coming back, but he was a little surprised when he bumped into Guan Jiyu here.
He frowned and said, "It's so cold outside, why did you come out?"
After saying that, Jiang Yingnian walked over and helped Guan Jiyu tighten his collar, saying, "You didn't stay in the warm room, so you ran out to get cold on purpose?"
Guan Jiyu sniffed and said, "I couldn't sleep, so I had to go for a walk."
"Why can't you sleep?" Jiang Yingnian reached out and shook her hand and said, "My hands are cold."
His hand was very hot, and the warmth spread from her fingertips to the palm of her hand, and then to her entire arm. Guan Jiyu couldn't help but tremble, but then she heard him say leisurely: "I heard it's going to snow again tonight.
"
"In winter in this northern land, it snows all the time."
Guan Jiyu looked up at the sky and said, "Although it always feels cold after a snowy day, the snowy day is really beautiful, isn't it?"
Jiang Yingnian looked at her with doting eyes and said, "Do you want to enjoy the snow?"
"Um?"
This question is difficult to answer. Snow scenes are not uncommon in the northern lands. Guan Jiyu has not seen snow scenes before. She asked: "How should I say? Does General Jiang have any plans?"
Jiang Ying chuckled young and said: "How can there be any arrangements in this barren land? I just want to boil a pot of wine and enjoy the heavy snowfall with someone, that's all."
"Okay!" Guan Jiyu also said boldly, "There are many people in this world who can drink together, but there may not be a few people who can drink together and wait for the snow to fall, right?"
Jiang Yingnian quickly got a few pots of wine, made a place in the open space behind the school ground, piled up firewood and started a fire.
"The general does not allow anyone to drink alcohol in the military camp." Jiang Yingnian stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "But he is not here at the moment. I am the boss here, so I secretly drink something casual.
"
Guan Jiyu drank so hard that after just a few mouthfuls, his face turned red and his hands and feet became hot.
Jiang Yingnian stared at her face and said seriously: "Ayu, you are so beautiful."
"Huh?" Guan Jiyu wiped his face with the back of his hand and said, "Is my face very red?"
Jiang Yingnian picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, saying: "It's a little red, but it looks good."
Guan Jiyu pursed his lips and felt his heart beating fast.
This wine is really strong.
She breathed a sigh of relief, fanned her hot cheeks with her hands, and said, "I don't know how long it will take for the snow to fall?"
"It will always fall when it should fall." Jiang Yingnian's voice was deep. He was not drunk, but his voice was sticky and greasy: "Even if you are anxious about some things, you can't rush them too much. It will always come when it should come.
It will come."
He meant something, and Guan Jiyu knew it in his heart.
